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

contributing factors to the opioid epidemic as a part of the Dawn Farm Education Series

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.”
