2A - Thursday, February 2, 2012 The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Professing joy What brought you to the University? After completing my undergraduate work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and teaching for a few years at three Boston colleges, I came to U of M to pursue my MFA in Creative Writing. After finishing that, I was incredibly fortunate to receive a Zell Fellowship, which gave me a year off to write. Now, finally, years later, I'm thrilled to be teaching again. What is one life message you want your students to take away from your classes? To do what brings you joy. There is so much in life asking for your attention, some of it worthy, some of it not. Figur- ing out which is which is a life- long process. So in any given moment, do what brings you joy. What do I write this paper about? What do I major in? What should I do with my free time? Whatever brings you joy. What was it like recently winning the 2012 Moscow Prize? I am beyond honored to receive this award. The Mos- cow Prize is given here at U of M and is awarded for teaching excellence. Students nominate their instructors, then a com- mittee picks winners based on a larger teaching portfolio. I was awarded the prize for my English Prof. Jessica Young won the University's 2012 Mos- cow Prize for excellence in teaching.

Mitt Romney waves to supporters at his Florida primary night rally in Tampa; Fla, Tuesday. Despite Romney's win, GOP race is far from over Please join us for this complimentary event: a private screening of the nationaly adaimed documentary FOMETHING Something Ventured tellsthe storyof theacreation of an industry that went on to become the single greatest engine of innovation and economic growth in the 20th century. It is told by the visionary risk takers who dared to make it happen. The film also offers a peek into a lighter side of the business: * The famous entrepreneurwho decided not to buy a third of Apple for S50,000 in f17; * Venture capitalist Arthur Rock raising S3 million to start Intel with just a one-page, typo-filled business plan; and * The first genetically engineered batteria being transported from Los Angeles to San Frantisto in a Genenteth investor's potket. Refreshments will be served following the movie. *This fim will not be shown in theaters. Gingrich, Santorum vow to push forward after Florida defeat ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - The race for the GOP presidential nomination probably is far from over. Front-runner Mitt Romney's rivals - chief among them Newt Gingrich - are refusing to bow out despite his resoundingFlori- da victory. New rules for award- ing delegates to this summer's Republican nominating conven- tion give even losing candidates little incentive to drop out. And so-called "super" political action committees have proven they can keep even the most cash-strapped campaigns alive by accepting unlimited dona- tions from individuals to run ads on their behalf. "All of them have earned the opportunity to keep going," said David Azbell, an Alabama Republican consultant said of the candidates. "We're only four primaries in for goodness sake." Indeed, some 46 states have yet to vote and only 6 percent of the delegates have been won. "I understand that people are concerned about how long the primary process is dragging out," House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said yesterday. "I think everybody just needs to realize that this will resolve itself." His assurances aside, the likelihood that the primary will stretch into the spring or beyond has some Republicans fretting about their eventual nominee emerging battered and broke, only to have little time to prepare for what promises to be an intense fall campaign against President Barack Obama. "Dealing with the residue of a very tough primary battle can be a difficult problem," acknowl- edged former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu. Others, Romney included, are defending a protracted nomi- nating fight as a test of strength, even though a long battle risks tearing an already fractured GOP even further apart. "We are looking for a full- spectrum conservative, sub- stantively and politically skilled - not possible to discern in a couple of contests," said Mary Matalin, a veteran GOP presi- dential campaign operative. But she added: "A possible concern of protraction is not duration but acrimony." She recalled the fight between Republicans Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan in 1976, when Democrat Jimmy Carter won and said: "That one was ideolog- ical. This one is personal." Former Rep. Asa Hutchin- son of Arkansas said Romney's Florida victory makes clear "that he's going to be the likely nominee. Yet, Hutchinson also downplayed the notion that a protracted fight would aide Democrats, saying: "Only if (the Republican contest) is a negative campaign does it benefit them." Said Azbell: "We're kind of in a Catch-22 situation. We don't want to be hurt by a long prima- ry but we also don't want to be stuck with a nominee that the public cannot coalesce behind." In his victory speech Tuesday night, Romney sought to turn his bitterly personal fight with Gingrich into a positive light, even as he all but urged the GOP to rally behind his candidacy. "A competitive primary does not divide us, it prepares us," Romney told supporters in Tampa, Fla. "And when we gather here in Tampa seven months from now for our con- vention, ours will be wwa unit- ed party with a winning ticket for America."
