If umich could get more

Every Wednesday, the Michigan 
Daily will be asking a University 
faculty member, staff member 
or student what the University 
bicentennial means to them. 

“I watched this film about the 
University campus before it was 
this booming — everything is 
so different. There’s a lot that 
has changed. The buildings 
have been renovated and the 
students dress differently. But 
many things have stayed the 
same: frst parties, students 
orgs, people running around on 
the diag... it’s the future now, 
but the University’s character 
really isn’t that different.”

SMTD sophomore 
Jaime Murriel

WOLVE RINE OF THE WE E K

of that.”

Powell began the event by 

talking about his upbringing in 
the South Bronx, and specifically 
how growing up in a diverse area 
formed the basis of his respect 
for 
others. 
This 
sentiment 

was similarly expressed in his 
opinions regarding diplomacy, 
and how it is necessary to keep 
an open dialogue with other 
nations to solve problems.

Rep Debbie Dingell (D-Mich) 

also received a shout out from 
Powell. Prior to the event, she 
spoke in an interview about how 
much she admired him. 

“I have known Colin Powell 

for decades,” she said. “Alma is 
one of my best friends. I think 
he is truly the epitome of what 
a public servant is. He loves this 
country and he is really just a 
good man and I am excited that 
he is in my hometown of Ann 
Arbor.”

Throughout the event, Powel 

emphasized 
the 
importance 

of 
continued 
investment 
in 

technology in ensuring the U.S.’s 
status as a top nation.

“We 
are 
a 
technological 

nation, and we cannot lose the 
advantage that we have over 
other 
nations,” 
Powell 
said. 

“It is important that if our 
nation wants to stay on top, we 

have to continue investing in 
technology.”

Powell also expressed his 

disappointment regarding the 
country’s 
race 
relations. 
In 

response to the recent racially 
charged incidents which have 
taken place on the University’s 
campus, Powell offered a message 

of strength and support for 
minority students.

“I 
think 
the 
college 

administration and the student 
bodies have to push back against 
this kind of thing. But don’t let one 
nut with a spray paint can destroy 
the community that exists in the 
University. There will always be 
folks like this — I’ve faced them 
throughout my life,” Powell said. 
“My own attitude has been, you 
can call me anything you want, 
but watch me, I’m going to do 
my job. I’ve always felt that those 
who’d like to look down on me 
because I’m Black or because I’m 
an immigrant or because I didn’t 
go to the right school — that’s 
their problem. I’m not going to let 
it become mine.”

He also encouraged people 

not to let the racist actions 
diminish the University’s overall 
reputation.

“We should push back with 

all the pressure we can against 
those who feel this way and 
believe these things, but we can’t 
do it by destroying the school or 
by having actions that are not in 
good order — or discipline, as we 
would say in the military — and 

if it’s one or two people, don’t 
let them turn upside down a 
university of 40,000,” he said.

LSA senior Daniel Wu also 

shared Winter’s feelings and 
talked about his excitement 
to learn from Powell.

“I like going to events 

where 
there 
are 
famous 

people coming to campus,” 
he said. “I love attending 
events on campus because 
there are so many interesting 
things happening and you 
just learn a lot. I love when 
famous 
people 
come 
to 

campus 
because 
they’re 

really interesting people with 
interesting stories.”

Powell 
ended 
his 

conversation with Gallimore 
by stressing the importance 
of taking care of one another 
and 
understanding 
the 

responsibility 
that 
each 

individual has both to others 
and to the country.

“Kindness is something 

you can give away, and you’ll 
never understand the impact 
that you had on another,” 
Powell said.
