2A -- Thursday, April 5, 2012 The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com 2A - Thursday, April 5, 2012 The Michigan Daily - michigandailycom MONDAY: TUESDAY: WEDNESDAY: In Other Ivory Towers This Week in History Campus Clubs SPIN IT Learning to apply] What classes do you teach, and what is your favorite class to teach? I am currently off this term from teaching due to duties as chair of the physics depart- ment, but Iam helping out once a week with Physics 160: Fresh- man Honors Mechanics. That is perhaps my most enjoyable hour of the week. I help stu- dents learn how to use comput- ers to solve interesting physics problems. Next term, I am planning a class on the physics of sports. It will be a real phys- ics class. Should be fun though. Why did you choose to teach at the University and what is your favorite thing about being a professor here? Michigan was starting up a new Applied Physics program in 1987. I really liked the multi- disciplinary aspects of the pro- gram. Ann Arbor seemed like a great place to live. It's been 25 years, but seems like yesterday. I love the size and quality of the University. Michigan is very good in every field, sometimes even the best. There is just far too much going on at Michigan to experience it all. You were recognized for your excellence in undergraduate teaching with an Arthur F. Thurnau Professorship title. How does this make you feel? The Thurnau Professorship FRIDAY: Photos of the Week physics is a great honor. I very much enjoyed teaching even before I became a professor. It is really nice to be recognized as doinga good job at it. Do you have any hidden tal- ents? Well, I scuba dive, play hockey and shoot photography in my spare time. Talent is a more difficult question. What are your plans for this summer? My wife and I are going back- packing for a week on Isle Royale. We hope to both sur- vive and see some moose. - KATIE SZYMANSKI t idiojan 0* 420 Maynard St. Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1327 www.michigandaily.com JOSEPH LICHTERMAN ZACHARY YANCER Editor inChief Business Manager 734-418-4115 ext. 1252 734-418-4115 ext. 1241 lichterman@michigandaily.com zyancer@michigandaily.com Newsrosm 734 418-4115 opt.3 Corrections corrections@michigandaily.com Arts Section arts@michigandily.com Sports Section sports@m ichigandaily.com Display Sales display@michigandaily.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com News Tips news@michigandaily.com Letters to the Editor tothedaily@michigandaily.com Editorial Page opinion@michigandaily.com Photography Section photo@michigandaily.com Classified Sales classified@michigandaily.com Finance finance@michigandaily.com 6 6 MCKENZIE BEREZIN/E Chicago's Most Wanted DJ Shawn Edwards performs ai the Take Back the Campus Event held at the Michigan Theatre yesterday IIy CRIME NOTES Pesky powder Ballroom blitz CAMPUS EVENTS & NOTES WHERE: Catherine Street Carport .
