The University of Michigan
Bicentennial
Office
released
their plans Monday morning
for the anticipated year-long
celebration of the University’s
bicentennial
in
2017,
which
include festivals, lecture series
and themed semesters.
Both LSA semesters of the
year are slated to be themed.
Next year’s winter semester will
focus on “Making Michigan,”
or the history of the University,
while the 2017 fall semester
centers
around
“Michigan
Horizons: The Possible Futures
of U-M” and looking ahead to the
University’s third century.
According to the Bicentennial
Office, many of the events will
feature prominent alumni and
guest speakers: notable alumni,
such as actors Darren Criss and
James Earl Jones, will headline
a spring festival next April,
while Supreme Court Justice
Sonia Sotomayor is scheduled
to speak in January at the first
of a yearlong series of symposia
hosted by University President
Mark Schlissel. The Bicentennial
Office and Advisory Committee
— appointed in 2011 by then
University president Mary Sue
Coleman — is also working
with student groups to ensure
a number of annual events,
such as the Martin Luther King
Symposium in January, tie back
U.S.
Sen.
Tim
Kaine,
Democratic
vice
presidential
nominee, spoke at events in
Taylor and Warren, Mich. on
Sunday, visiting the state just nine
days away from the presidential
election.
According to an average of
polls from Real Clear Politics,
Clinton is currently projected to
win Michigan by seven points.
Michigan Sens. Gary Peters
(D) and Debbie Stabenow (D), as
well as U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell
(D–Dearborn),
also
attended
the event in Taylor, which was
hosted by the 1A region of the
Union of Auto Workers.
Kaine’s Taylor rally focused
in part on FBI director James
Comey’s
Friday
letter
to
Congress, which stated the FBI
is looking into additional emails
that may be tied to a previous
investigation into Clinton’s use of
a private server for email during
her time as Secretary of State,
found during a separate inquiry
into former U.S. Rep. Anthony
Weiner
(D-NY).
Weiner
is
married to Clinton campaign aide
Huma Abedin. In July, Comey
told Congress he was closing the
investigation into Clinton’s use of
the server and it would not result
in any criminal charges.
Kaine
said
Sunday
that
despite Friday’s announcement,
he remains confident that no
prosecutor would press charges,
adding that Clinton supporters
have not been deterred by the
letter.
“The FBI’s recent letter has
actually
revved
up
people,”
Kaine said. “We have record
voter registration this cycle. The
Trump campaign wants people
to be distracted and not vote
because he knows that’s the only
way he can win. I can tell you
folks this: nobody is distracted.”
In an interview prior to
the event, Peters declined to
speculate about what motivated
Comey’s decision to send the
letter, and said it was important
for the FBI to clarify their
position.
“I think it is imperative, given
the unprecedented nature of
releasing information pertaining
to an investigation publicly — in
particular a few days out of an
election — that the FBI release
the remaining emails so the
public can see what is in them
and clear up any remaining
concerns,” Peters said
Speaking before Kaine took
the stage, Peters emphasized
Clinton and Kaine’s values to a
crowd of about 150.
“Both Hillary Clinton and
Tim Kaine over the course of the
past few months and during the
debates have proven themselves
to be the leaders we deserve,”
Peters said. “This is in clear
A documentary about the life
of Miya Rodolfo-Sioson, a lone
survivor of a 1991 shooting at the
University of Iowa, was screened
Friday afternoon at the Harlan
Hatcher Graduate Library for
an audience of five community
members and one student.
The screening of “Miya of the
Quiet Strength” was part of the
annual month-long Investing in
Ability series, themed “Diversity
Includes Disability,” through the
University of Michigan Council
for Disability Concerns.
Patricia Anderson, one of the
event organizers, said Rodolfo-
Sioson’s story is emblematic of
the intersection of disability and
diversity due to her activism
for disability rights across a
spectrum of ethnicities.
“Miya’s
story
was
chosen
because of its current relevance as
well as the intersectionality of her
story as a Philippine immigrant
of
political
activist
parents,
her work among Hispanic and
Latino/Chicano communities and
her work as a disabilities advocate
and activist,” Anderson said.

Fifth-year senior defensive tackle Ryan Glasgow and redshirt junior defensive tackle Maurice Hurst celebrate Michigan’s win and yell for the Paul Bunyan trophy at
Spartan Stadium Saturday.
EAST LANSING — They came
for Paul Bunyan, and they left with
him, even if it wasn’t exactly the
way they wanted.
This was true during the game
for the Michigan football team,
and it was true afterward, when a
handful of Wolverines arrived on
the Michigan State sideline looking
for their hard-earned trophy, only
to be told it was already in their
locker room.
“Me and Delano (Hill) went
to go on the field so we could run
around and get little victory laps,”
said senior cornerback Jourdan
Lewis. “But, hey, we got it back. I’m
excited to get it back home.”
There may not have been a
more fitting way to cap the day for
Michigan.

State,
the
second-
ranked Wolverines (5-0 Big Ten,
8-0 overall) came in with a feeling
they might finally reclaim the Paul
Bunyan Trophy for the first time
since 2012. They did just that with
a 32-23 win, but they still weren’t
completely satisfied in how they
did so.
“I was excited we got the win —
hell of a win against Sparty,” Lewis
said. “At the same time, there’s a lot

In a recent study led by the
University of Michigan, just 92
randomized control trials were
found to have been conducted
on immediate treatments for
cardiac arrest over the past 20
years — a disproportionately low
number given the 535,000 cases
of cardiac arrest per year.
A University press release said
although cardiac arrest kills 10
times more people in the United
States than breast cancer, there
is an immense lack of research
aimed at treatment and survival
of
patients
who
experience
cardiac arrest.
Shashank Sinha, a third-year
general cardiology fellow at
the University Health System
who was the lead researcher
of the study, said the amount
of
research
is
unacceptably
low, noting fewer than five
randomized control trials were
published annually over the past
20 years.
“What
we
found
in
a
nutshell was a striking paucity
of randomized clinical trials
