2A - Thursday, February 5, 2009 The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com 2A - Thursday, February 5, 2009 The Michigan Daily - michigandailycom FREE BREAKFAST Peace rally at the Big House It was no ordinary half- timeshowattheP1971home- coming football game. That Saturday afternoon, the announcer asked the crowd of 75,000 fans for a moment of silence to honor those who died in the Viet- nam War, asuwell as the lives that would stillibe lost. Fifty war veterans, who had lined the east sideline, then released 100 black balloons to symbolize the 1.5 million victims lost in the war,: as the march- ing band played "Taps," according to "War as They Knew It," a book by Michael Rosenberg. University officials agreed to allow the anti- war observance during halftime after they were presented with a petition signed by 1,500 people. But they stipulated that band members and the local chapter of Vietnam Veter- ans Against the War could be the only people allowed on the field. Signatures supporting the petitionfromtwo-thirds of the football team, howev- er, presented some conflicts in the locker room. Bo Schembechler, the University's head foot- ball coach at the time, was concerned that the dem- onstration would be too distracting. In his eyes, there was no place for it at a Michigan football game. Many viewed the 1971 homecoming theme,"Bring all the troops home now. Let's have a real homecom- ing this year," as a success. Spectators at the game commented that the unusual halftime show was "an emotional experience in good taste." Marvin Epstein, an alum who watched the show, told the Daily at the time that the "fantastic" halftime festivities allowed the Uni- versity to distinguish itself from other colleges. Though University Sec- retary Richard Kennedy and Schembechler were concerned that mixing football and politics could be a distraction, the peace- ful halftime show went off without a hitch. In the end, the football team was unfazed by the interruption, winning 61-7 over Indiana. - HAVEN BASSETT ANNA BAKEMAN/Daily LSA Freshman Emily Grubman enjoys a free bagel and cof fee at "Welcome Wednes- days" at the Alumni Center.

A quote was also incorrectly written, and should have read "Now here I am just as a professor with- out any staff, without any research assistants, writing a blog that's gotten pretty popular." An article in last Fri- day's edition of the Daily (Prospective Greeks head to winter rush) incorrectly reported Alpha Epsilon Phi's reason for leaving campus in 2005, which was not due to a hazing incident. . An article in yesterday's edition of the Daily (Finding a signal in the dorms) incor- rectly reported the cost to install wireless access points in a residence hall, which costs several hundred thou- sands of dollars. .
