It's dif- ficult to keep track of and remember everything that's happened, so The Daily rounded up some of the most significant events that have happened around campus and the world this week.

Missing from the weekend in A nn A rbor HEY YOU! Do you love the weekend? And Beyonce? And watching home improvement shows in your time off? Us too! You should consider joining, it seems like we have a lot in common. WWW.MICHIGANDAILY.COM/JOIN-US ByAMRUTHA SIVAKUMAR Daily Weekend Contributor Between a cappella con- certs, theatrical plays and sporting events, it might seem like the University has it all. But for those of you dreaming of your weekend plans in the middle of your Friday after- noon class, you may find a few things lacking. Bringing out the hipster Fairs and festivals have their place on campus outside of Welcome Week and fresh- man affairs - in fact, Ann Arbor is filled with them dur- ing the summers and springs, and the University organizes its fair share of outdoor events during the warmer seasons. But, free community events don't have to end as soon as the sub-zero temperatures set in. While sunny, green days are a rarity during most of the semester, indoor spaces can do just as well. Street vendors such as Curry Up and Beet Box can easily set up in indoor spaces - if the Unions allowed it, that is - and entrepreneurs could showcase their prod- ucts, probably more easily, inside. Student organizations can put on mini-shows, giving their members a free opportu- nity to show their skills, and any student looking to escape the books for a bit can have the perfect place to let out some steam without being left out in the cold. Where my bands at? If I were to judge a cam- pus by its music ... well, the University sure wouldn't top that list. Music is social, and it draws communities together toward a singular purpose - much like sports do. We come together as an entire college for football and basketball games, but checking out local music is hardly ever the go-to weekend activity. Don't get me wrong, there's always music in Ann Arbor and if you look hard enough, it's not impossible to find a band at a fraternity or a student orga- nization benefit concert. With intimate venues like The Ark and the Blind Pig, great bands do pop up every now and then. But music on campus doesn't permeate. There isn't a way for me to find all the places on campus where I can survey all the free, local and live music options playing that night and choose the one I go to based on what I'm feeling. Hit the books As much as we can com- plain about the lack of more social activities on campus during the weekend, the truth is that for most of us, week- ends are prime studying time. on weekends, scavenging for an empty table becomes the impossible task at the undergraduate and graduate libraries, and stress levels run high. There's an SLC for the broad sciences, and a Mathlab for pure mathematics, but what about the outliers? For every subject - whether it be something as commonplace as communications or some- thing as niche as Asian art - there should be a set place that I can go to every week to find peer or GSI tutors willing to ease me into understanding elaborated concepts, as well as other students wanting to study in cohesive, tight-knit groups. Think of the number of empty lecture halls, classrooms and spaces on weekends - all of this is underutilized study space on campus. Think of how accom- plishable academics would be if the resources were readily available. Budget Snacking: Oreo chocolate popcorn Aw ADAM GLANZMAN/Daily - 20 Oreo cookies (about two rows from the package) Total cost: About $10 (serves around 10 but can be adjust- ed based on popcorn serving size) Directions: - Follow the box instructions to pop the popcorn - Smash Oreos into frag- ments - Melt the chocolate in the microwave - Pour the melted chocolate over the popcorn and mix in the Oreo pieces Total time: About 10 to 15 minutes That's it! If you want to get really crazy, try using some of the different Oreo flavor options, or stir in your own favorite cookie. Just try to resist this delicacy. By EMILIE PLESSET Weekend Roundup Contributor The perfect batch of pop- corn doesn't always have to be saturated with butter. In- stead, top your popcorn with the cookie that's been gracing the shelves of American gro- ceries stores for more than 100 years. This Oreo Popcorn creation is simple to make and very addicting. You've been warned. Ingredients: - Two bags of your favorite brand of popcorn - Two cups of white choco- late chips I 1 I
