ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIX YEARS OF EDITORIAL FREEDOM
IOWA CITY — It seemed like
it would be Michigan’s special
teams that would win the day.
Instead, it was Iowa’s.
After fifth-year senior kicker
Kenny Allen booted a career-
long 51-yard field goal midway
through the fourth quarter to
put the Wolverines up, 13-11,
and after senior cornerback
Channing Stribling picked up
an interception with under two
minutes remaining, it looked
like the Wolverines had the
game in the bag.
But the Hawkeyes got one
more chance, and they made it
count. Hawkeye kicker Keith
Duncan hit a 33-yard chip
shot as time expired, and Iowa
pulled off a stunning 14-13 upset
Saturday at Kinnick Stadium.
Iowa’s defense was able to
hold the Wolverines to just 98
rushing yards, the first time
all season they have been held
under 100.
“There were some wrinkles,
they played well, they played
hard, they set the edge extremely
well,” said Michigan coach
Harbaugh of the Hawkeyes’
defense after the game. “They
tackled well and played good
coverage.”
Just before Allen’s made field
goal, it seemed as if the Michigan
football team was sleepwalking.
It had converted on just five
of its attempted third downs.
But then redshirt sophomore
quarterback Wilton Speight had
a rare scramble for four yards,
and then he completed just his
10th pass of the game to senior
tight end Jake Butt, who picked
up 17 yards for a first down. The
Wolverines would still be forced
to punt three downs later, but
they caught a break on the play.
A
roughing-the-center
penalty on Iowa gave Michigan
the ball back on the Hawkeyes’
36-yard line just after Speight
overthrew an open Darboh
streaking toward the end zone,
ultimately setting up Allen’s
dramatic field goal.
But the tide would change
Two hundred students, faculty
and staff gathered on the Diag at
6 p.m. Saturday night to partake
in a protest titled “Opposing
Intimidation!”
The protest was organized
by Music, Theatre & Dance
senior James Ross Kilmeade in
response to an incident Friday
evening in which a student
was approached by a man who
demanded she remove her hijab
or he would use a lighter to set her
on fire. This incident is still under
investigation by the Ann Arbor
Police Department.
According to Kilmeade’s post
on the Facebook event, the protest
aimed to generally respond to the
hatred he feels has been validated
by the recent election.
Before the protest began,
Kilmeade said he had created the
event only hours before it started
and hoped to reach as many
people as possible.
“Today I woke up and said,
‘I don’t know what I’m going
to do but I have to stand and do
something,” he said. “People have
to feel safe and it’s absurd that
they don’t. It’s our responsibility
to be out here for them.’ ”
LSA senior Adrian Rakochi
said he heard about the protest
through an email sent to the
Arabic
Activities
club,
and
expressed his frustration with
recent
incidents
following
the election, both locally and
nationally.
“I wanted to go,” he said. “I
feel like we haven’t had enough
protests in Ann Arbor about
this whole thing anyway. I just
showed up and let some friends
Following
the

victory
of
President-elect
Donald Trump early Wednesday
morning, in addition to issues of
safety, racism and hateful speech,
many students and faculty on the
University of Michigan campus
are
worried
about
climate
change, economic, immigration
and
women’s
health
policies
under a Trump presidency and a
Republican-dominated Congress.
Most
concerning,
LSA
senior

controlled government and the
policies that will be blocked by
the executive and legislative
branches. Republicans now have

The Michigan Daily administered
a women’s health survey, to 1,000
randomly selected respondents at
the University of Michigan campus.
There were 147 respondents, with
115 self-identifying as female.
The following article includes
data collected in this survey,
particularly with regard to safety on
campus.
When Jocelyn Aptowitz, a dual-
enrolled School of Music, Theatre
& Dance and LSA junior, was a
freshman, a man in a car asked her
for directions while she was walking
back from a rehearsal at the Student
Theatre
Arts
Complex
around
Hoover Street in 2014.
She said the man followed close
behind in his vehicle and eventually
exited the car pantsless, wearing
nothing from the waist down.
Once Aptowitz saw the man
touching himself, she said she
quickly walked away and called the
University of Michigan Division of
Public Safety and Security as well as
the Ann Arbor Police Department.
She received a quick response
from officials, who later found and
identified the man.
“There’s something so unsettling
and degrading about it,” Aptowitz
said of the incident. “The lines of
body autonomy and, I think, safety,
specifically, get blurred sometimes,
but you’re definitely more aware of
it after you experience it firsthand.”
Aptowitz’s sentiments are far
from unique on campus.
In a survey administered to
female students by The Michigan
Daily, 73.11 percent of respondents
said they were afraid to walk home
alone on campus. 17.65 percent said
they did not and 9.24 percent said
they were unsure.
In a campus climate survey
administered by the University to
both male and female students in
2015, 89 percent of students reported
feeling safe from sexual misconduct
on campus.
Bill Axinn, a national expert on
survey research at the University
Population Studies Center, said there
could be a number of reasons for the
discrepancies in the datasets. Axinn
said in addition to the differences
in wording — the University survey
asked if students “felt safe from
sexual misconduct on campus”
while the Daily survey asked if
students “felt afraid to walk home
alone on campus” — as well as a small
sample size in the Daily’s survey and
a tendency for respondents to agree

Average GPA’s in the college
of LSA were lower for STEM
classes than for classes in the
humanties and social sciences,
and GPA became higher as class
level increased.
Last week, The Michigan Daily
released a new web tool that
allows users to view distribution
data for all LSA courses over the
past three full-length semesters.
The data, obtained through the
Freedom of Information Act,
enables users to view grade
distributions from courses and
compare multiple classes on a
single graphic interface.
