I wish I had a thanksgiving 
break from work

After a “Children of Yost” 

Twitter post on Monday morning 

suggested the idea, residents on 

the back side of Mary Markley hall 

used lights in their dorm rooms to 

spell out “Fuck OSU” Monday night, 

ahead of Saturday’s rivalry football 

game between the Wolverines and 

Buckeyes.

Children of Yost, the informal 

account associated with Michigan 

Hockey’s student section, issued the 

challenge to Markley residents by 

tweeting out a picture of of Markley 

in 1977 with the same message 

spelled out on the back side on the 

building.

“Yo, Markley residents. Find a 

way to pull this off again,” the tweet 

read.

The group’s call to action was 

answered that same day, with 

residents posting on social media 

about efforts to spell out the 

message.

Engineering senior Teddy 

Tran tweeted a picture at 5:40 

p.m. Monday of a group of students 

appearing to be organizing the feat 

for that evening.

“Lo an behold,” Tran said in 

the tweet. “A group of people are 

organizing this pretty well!”

Tran said in a tweet he does 

not take credit for organizing the 

message, but did help spread the 

word about what was happening.

“A group of other people put a lot 

of effort into organizing the whole 

thing,” the tweet read. “I just helped 

spread the word! Pretty incredible 

feat tbh.”

Monday night at around 8 p.m. 

— roughly 13 hours after Children 

of Yost first issued the challenge on 

twitter at 6:45 a.m. — pictures began 

surfacing of the buildings exterior 

with the message. The Children of 

Yost Twitter account congratulated 

the residents shortly after. 

In 1977, the year when Markley 

residents were first documented 

as sending the message ahead of 

the Ohio State game, legendary 

Michigan coach Bo Schembechler 

led Michigan to defeat Ohio State 

in Ann Arbor by a score of 14 to 6 to 

win the Big Ten. The team finished 

the season with a loss in the Rose 

Bowl to Washington and a record of 

10 wins and 2 losses.

The 10 win and 1 loss football 

team has similar aspirations this 

year, hoping to not only beat Ohio 

State and play in the Big Ten 

Championship Game on December 

3rd, but also potentially earn a trip to 

the College Football Playoff.

ON THE DAILY: RESIDENTS OF MARKLEY SEND OSU A MESSAGE

ADDRESSING ADDICTION

In a statement Tuesday, the 

Department of Public Safety and 
Security wrote that DPSS was not 
aware until Saturday afternoon of 
an assault on a University lecturer 
last week, referred in testimony 
before Ann Arbor City Council 
Monday.

Khita Whyatt, lecturer of dance 

in the University of Michigan’s 
School of Music, Theatre & Dance, 
said in an interview after her 
testimony on the incident that she 
did not immediately call the police 
because she was so shocked, but 
her department chair contacted the 
DPSS. Two days after the incident, 
Whyatt said she was interviewed 
by two DPSS officers. During her 
testimony to Council, she called on 
the University to release a crime 
report about how she was knocked 

down and intimidated by unknown 
assailants. 
The 
event 
follows 

similar incidents where crime 
alerts had not been released. The 
University has released two crime 
alerts of hate crimes on campus 
over the past two weeks.

Whyatt wrote in an email sent 

Tuesday afternoon to recipients 
including 
University 
President 

Mark Schlissel as well as The 
Michigan Daily that she waited 
until Saturday morning to report 
the assault to police because she 
was disoriented and did not know 
where to reach out.

“I did wait until Saturday 

morning to get in touch to report 
the incident,” Whyatt wrote. “I 
was in shock and still processing 
what to do prior to reaching out … 
it was also obvious that there was 
no way that these boys were going 
to be caught. Not being a student, I 
did not know who to report to. That 
must seem obvious by the fact that I 

emailed the head of my department, 
my dean and the president.”

In the statement, Diane Brown, 

spokeswoman for DPSS, said they 
were not aware of the situation 
until Saturday afternoon — two 
days after the alleged assault — 
but will be conducting a thorough 
investigation.

“When this allegation from 

Thursday morning came to our 
attention 
Saturday 
afternoon, 

we had officers follow up with 
the 
woman 
who 
experienced 

this,” Brown wrote. “We are very 
concerned about this incident 
and will conduct a thorough 
investigation.”

In her Tuesday afternoon email, 

Whyatt reiterated she felt DPSS 
should release a crime alert.

“Withholding information from 

the public is the same as lying, in my 
mind,” Whyatt wrote in the email. 
“Isolated events are happening all 
over the place and surely without 

a pattern. Not informing the 
campus is WRONG!”

Brown said no crime alert 

was issued due to the timeliness 
and the lack of a perceived 
public safety threat after DPSS 
learned of the incident.

“We chose not to issue a 

timely warning, or crime alert 
as we call them, Saturday night 
due to the amount of time that 
had transpired with no other 
similar reports,” Brown wrote. 
“When deciding whether to 
issue a timely warning, there are 
a number of factors we consider, 
including the perceived public 
safety threat, time of report and 
possible connected reports.”

Brown 
also 
encouraged 

victims of any similar incidents 
in the future to reach out to 
report incidents as soon as 
possible.

“We again are disturbed by 

this report we learned about 
Saturday 
afternoon,” 
Brown 

said. “We urge everyone to 
promptly report any incident of 
possible assault or intimidation 
to police so we can respond to the 
scene and search for suspects.”
