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.
