I am the first in my family to become a professor soI didn't get it from my parents. Although, my two boys are both professors. I just think I am a scholarly type. I like research. I thought I would be a science professor at first, but then I got interested in econom- ics. I just like to read scholarly works. I have always believed in those kinds of people. I don't If you could give current watch much television, virtually Michigan students one piece zero. I get bored. of advice, what would it be? What has been your favorite part about your time at the University of Michigan? Well, it wasn't sports. I think I went to maybe one football game the whole time. And it wasn't dating; I didn't do much of that. I didn't join a fraternity. I was an assistant night editor at The Michigan Daily. I actually liked that experience but I don't know if that was my favorite part. I suppose my favorite was just the interaction with other young peo- ple, similar students, just getting to talk to them.

Appearing at his first news conference as mayor-elect, Mike Duggan said he would meet over the next two days with Michigan's governor and Detroit's current leaders, including the state-appoint- ed emergency manager who currently controls the cash- Do Your Yoga/with a rope! build $70 STRENGTH *E 30 days unlimited release classes stress russayog.com 215 s. state ann arbor D " strapped city's checkbook. With Detroit grappling with $18 billion in debt and awaiting a judge's ruling on whether it can move forward with a bankrupt- cy filing, Duggan said the race of the mayor is not a factor. "I resent it. I've resented it from the beginning," Duggan said. "People in this city got past it almost a year ago, as people got to know me and we started to relate as individuals." Unofficial general election results Tuesday night showed Duggan, a former Detroit Medi- cal Center chief executive, defeating Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon 55 percent to 45 percent. Napoleon is black. Race, more specifically black and white, has defined Detroit for generations. More than 80 percent of the 700,000 people living in Detroit are black. The last time it had a white mayor, only about 44 percent of Detroit's 1.5 million residents were black and the city was only a few years removed from a race riot that left 43 peo- ple dead and dozens of buildings burned. "Detroit became 'black Detroit' and the suburbs became the 'white suburbs, and people picked sides," then-mayor and now convicted felon Kwame Kil- patrick told The Associated Press for a story in 2007. Of the 10 cities of at least 100,000 people with the largest percentage of black residents, only New Orleans and Mont- gomery, Ala., have white mayors. The others have black mayors. Duggan's election could help blur the color lines, but when he takes office in January Detroit officially could be bankrupt. He will be expected to have solu- tions for lowering one of the highest violent crime rates in the country - in a city that struggles to respond to 911 calls - and fix- ing Detroit's many crumbling neighborhoods.
