Jim Harbaugh, head
coach of the University of
Michigan football team,
recently played himself in a
Planters commercial, where he
embraces his persona on the
football field in its “Shout for
Nuts” promotion.
The 15-second commercial
premiered Tuesday and
features Harbaugh standing at
a Planters vending machine in
the middle of a mall. Harbaugh
yells, “I love peanuts,” at the
vending machine, and, after
not receiving any, throws his
hat on the ground.
Harbaugh took to Twitter
after formally meeting Mr.
Peanut, calling him a “heck of
a good Peanut” and a fan of the
University of Michigan.
To get peanuts from the
machine, Harbaugh said you
need to reach a high enough
decibel of noise to trigger their
release.
“It was shouting into a
machine and you had to get the
decibel level high enough to
get the can of peanuts to come
out,” Harbaugh told Sporting
News.
Harbaugh said he was
incentivized during the
commercial.
“I was highly motivated,”
Harbaugh also told Sporting
News. “I like to eat peanuts
as I said. I told my dad I was
coming out here to do this, and
he was expecting a year-long
supply of peanuts, so I had to
do good.”

A new resolution aiming to
expand access of Medicaid benefits
to the University Health System
services took the Central Student
Government floor at Tuesday
night’s meeting.
The resolution asks UHS to
absorb the fees currently being
charged to students and their
dependents who receive standard
Medicaid benefits. This would
be during the period of time the
University of Michigan applies for
a waiver to the state of Michigan
to service just University students
who receive Medicaid and not the
greater Washtenaw area, which
current provision of Medicaid
enforces.
Social Work senior Brittney
Williams, the author of the
resolution
and
an
assembly
member who currently receives
Medicaid benefits, shared with the
committee the extensive duration
of time the University has taken
to obtain the waiver to service just
University students.
“They know what’s going on,
they just refuse to do this efficient
work to get it done,” Williams said,
visibly becoming emotional at the
meeting. “You can go to UHS if
your leg is broken, but you can’t get
crutches if you have Medicaid.”
Rep. Sheema Rehman, an LSA
senior, agreed, stating students
needed to have their needs
addressed.
“This is a concern that has
been going on for a very long
time at the University,” Rehman
said. “UHS has done its best in
the time being, but at the same
time, the fact of the matter is
students at this university pay
part of their tuition to go to UHS
and so, by virtue, being a student,
fundamentally, we should have
access to the University’s health
service.”
Rehman also iterated the
significant amount of funds
allocated
through
tuition
that go toward paying for the
services by UHS. She stressed
the relevance of the University’s
recent diversity initiatives to
be more inclusive, stating this
resolution directly relates to its
purpose and goals.
“If we’re really going to an
inclusive university and go
beyond just talking about DEI
the way that you are inclusive
to all students is recognizing
this concern by a small number
and even if it’s one person it
shouldn’t
matter,”
Rehman
said.
Under the health-service fee
included in student’s tuition,
services such as contraceptive
devices and standard medical
equipment are not covered
and require medical insurance
for
coverage.
Currently,
UHS services a variety of
health-care providers such
as
expansive
Medicaid
and
Medicare
but
does
not service the standard
Medicaid insurance.
Funding for waivers will
aim to be provided in part by
the DEI initiative as well as
Student Life funds.
The resolution to support
the plan was passed 35-1,
with one abstaining.
Another resolution was
tabled
regarding
current
student concerns about the
funding of the Leadership
Engagement Scholarship.
The scholarship aims to
reduce the costs and barriers
students with “demonstrated
need” currently face and that
prevent them from being
involved in extracurricular
activities. The scholarship
would allow them to lead
and join their respective
student organizations.
