The Michigan Daily - michigandailycom 2A - Wednesday, September10, 2008 0~ The Michigan Daily - michigandailycom WHEN STUDENTS PARTIED AT THyE PRESIDENT'S H{UE Lee Bollinger's house party On Nov. 8, 1997, Michigan football fans huddled around televisions and rallied as Michi- gan went on to defeat then-un- defeated Penn State. Then-University President Lee Bollinger was sitting in his bedroom watching the Michi- gan-Penn State game on televi- sion with his wife when more than 1,000 students gathered outside the President's House and began chanting Bollinger's name. As the crowd grew rowdi- er, instead of turning them away or calling University Police, Bol- linger opened the front door and invited the students in. "You can stay here as long as you want and come inside," Bol- linger said as he welcomed stu- dents into the house on South University Avenue, according to Michigan Daily reports. The 1,000-plus students packed into every room of the house. Then Kinesiology sophomore Bob Lehrer made himself at home in Bollinger's bedroom. "I sat on Lee Bollinger's bed and was watching football on TV," Lehrer told the Daily. "I called from his phone to my answering machine and left a message. He gave me a hug and on the way out he said he loved us all." Bollinger reported that noth- ing was missing or broken after students left, although several students claimed to have stolen beer from the president's refrig- erator. Such an event, where the entire student body was wel- comedintothe president'shouse, is extremely rare. At the time, History Prof. Nicholas Steneck said the President's House had not welcomed the entire student body since Harlan Hatcher's ten- ure as president from 1951-1967. "It's not something that is regularly done," he said. When the house -is not being used for student parties, it serves many important Univer- sity functions. The house serves to host private fundraisers for the University, receptions for foreign dignitaries, among other business related activities and events. And contrary to campus lore, University President Mary Sue Coleman does call 815 S. University Ave. home. The house is the oldest build- ing still standing on campus. Originally, the house consisted of a two-story rectangular sec- tion that currently serves as the center of the house. Since it was completed in 1840, the house has undergone multiple renovations and addi- tions.
