administration
informed

her if she taught a course on
the history of photography,
she would not be allowed
to show images of sex,
children, violence, drugs
or “complicated emotional
imagery.” Poor scheduled
a meeting with the prison
warden
and
another

department
secretary

and, after describing her
curriculum, was granted
permission to teach the
class
as
she
originally

intended.

The men in the facility

were not allowed to have
cameras, but Poor wanted
them
to
experience

creating art of their own. The
inmates were given images of
well-known art and instructed
to
“map”
the
images
by

writing their observations and
thoughts on top of the images.
On the back of the image, they
wrote narratives about the
picture and their experience.

Art & Design freshman

Elizabeth Mizer commented
on Poor’s artistic work at the
prison.

“Well I think it’s really

important for people in the
prison to get to experience
like creativity and imagination
when
they
don’t
really

normally get to have access to
that,” Mizer said.

University
of
Michigan

researchers are working on
the European Space Agency’s
BepiColombo mission to send
a spacecraft to Mercury’s
atmosphere,
a
University

press release announced. The
mission hopes to analyze the
planet and the solar system as
a whole.

Stefano Livi, a research

professor of Climate and Space
Sciences
and
Engineering,

leads the investigation on
the
portion
of
the
craft

that measures the gases in
Mercury’s upper atmosphere.

James
Slavin,
another

professor of Climate and Space
Sciences
and
Engineering,

assists
on
analyzing

Mercury’s atmospheric gases
and its chemical composition.
Slavin has worked on Mercury
research since its start and, as
a University of California-Los
Angeles graduate student, he
studied the planet’s plasma
process and the impacts of
solar wind.

This
mission,
which

launches on Oct. 20 from
French Guiana, is only the
third
mission
in
history

to
explore
Mercury.
The

European
Space
Agency’s

BepiColombo hopes to answer
critical questions about the
planet’s makeup, atmosphere

and
magnetic
field.
From

these results, scientists can
work to learn more about the
solar system’s past and future.

Livi and Slavin work on the

particle spectrometer called
Strofio, which uses a rotating
electric field and a time-of-
flight system to evaluate the
mass of particles in Mercury’s
uppermost atmosphere. The
time it takes for particles
to pass through the system
allow scientists to determine
the particle’s mass. Using the
mass will give researches the
necessary information to date
the makeup of the planet.

“Many
theories
have

been developed. … Without
measurements of what this
gas is made of, how it reacts to

external events and how
it is swept away from the
planet, we are working
almost
completely
in

the blind,” Livi said in
the press release.

Through the space mission,

researchers
can
gather

information from the orbit
time of the satellite, take
photos of the planet, analyze
the x-ray and cosmic rays
on Mercury’s surface and
evaluate the atmosphere — the
task of the Michigan research
team.

The researchers can then

use the information about the
particles and their proximity
the
sun
to
learn
about

Mercury’s magnetic field and
its interactions with solar
wind.

“As human beings, we all

want to know how we come to
be as a species on this planet
and, eventually, what’s going
to happen to us,” Slavin said in
the release. “It’s all ultimately
about origins and destinies.

WORDS OF WISDOM

QUOTE OF THE WE E K

“
“It’s easy to say that the entire current board and new board

members are all strong supporters of academic freedom. I think it’s the
linchpin of any great institution and it’s certainly made this institution
great I think that academic freedom is the basis of our institution and
without it, getting any sort of structure of scriptures on something would
be inappropriate unless it was something harmful being taught.”

Regent Andrea Fischer Newman, running for re-election to the Board of Regents this November

PRISONS
From Page 1A

This Friday, we decided to ask members of our staff for any words
of wisdom they wished to impart upon our readers. While we
expected some half-hearted responses, we got some inspiring
remarks. Managing Editor Dayton Hare commented on his habits
regarding his intake of news.

“If you see something that confirms your worldview, doubt its
authenticity before accepting it.”
