University of
Michigan alum James
Earl Jones is slated to
play Mufasa in Disney’s
live-action remake
of “The Lion King,”
scheduled to come
out in July 2019. He’ll
be acting alongside
Beyonce Knowles-
Carter as Nala and
Donald Glover as
Simba.
He is the first actor
to reprise his role in
a live-action Disney
remake.
Jones graduated
in 1955 from the
University, where he
originally planned on
being a pre-med major
before transferring to
the School of Music,
Theatre & Dance after
deciding his passion
was not medicine.
While at the
University, Jones
was a member of the
ROTC, and part of the
Scabbard and Blade
Honor Society. Jones
has acted in severable
notable roles since
then, most memorably
as Darth Vader in “Star
Wars” and Mufasa in
the original animated
“Lion King.”
Fans are excited at
the prospect of seeing
Jones act alongside
some of their favorite
celebrities.

LSA Student Government held
its weekly meeting Wednesday
evening in Mason Hall to discuss
final examination policy and
making Election Day a potential
academic holiday.
LSA SG passed a resolution 28
to 0 in favor of supporting better
enforcement by the University
of Michigan ensuring faculty
members abide by the final
examination slot they are assigned
to by the Office of the Registrar.
President Nicholas Fadanelli
and Vice President Ryan Gillcrist,
LSA seniors, and LSA junior
Hanna
Simmons,
sponsored
the resolution and discussed
their
concerns
that
many
faculty members hold their final
examinations during the last
day of classes rather than their
allotted time slot, potentially
threatening student rights to
alternate examination times.
They
also
recommended
policies be changed to allow
students to request alternate exam
times when they have more than
two exams in one day, instead of
the current policy of more than
three per day.
“This is not only University
policy that final examinations
be held in the scheduled spot,
but it’s also compiled in the LSA
Faculty
Code,
the
governing
document of the college of LSA
... I think the fact that they’re
violating the document that they
approve (themselves), that in any
other circumstance they hold
high above their heads when it
comes to us doing anything to
them that they might not fly by it
… that doesn’t fly well with me,”
Fadanelli said.
Fadanelli also gave an update
on Richard Spencer’s request to
speak at the University. Spencer
is a noted white supremacist
who the University confirmed
requested to speak but neither
approved nor denied his request.
“At this time, although I have
not
heard
anything
official,
if I were to take a wild guess
the University will most likely
approve him speaking, as in let
him have a space … whether or
not there will be a counter-event
sponsored by the University or
an accommodation of the event
while also still allowing it, I
am not aware of at this time,”
Fadanelli said.
The group also passed a
resolution 27 to 1 regarding an
amendment to the 18th chapter
of its bylaws for better flexibility
for its election policies, as well
as making amendments to its
ballot questions for its upcoming
elections on Nov. 20 and 21.
The
government
also
welcomed a speaker on behalf of
the Sexual Assault Prevention
and
Awareness
Center,
LSA
senior Nora Akcasu. Akcasu
discussed SAPAC’s influence on
campus and its relationship with
LSA SG.
