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.”
