THIS WEEK IN HISTORY: OVER 13,000 ATTEND
‘KICKOFF’ ON ENVIRONMENT

Drew
Haynam
was
no
ordinary
Michigan
football
fan.
Haynam,
who
passed
away
on
Feb. 26, seriously loved
Michigan football — so
much so that his family
decided to host his calling
hours in maize and blue
and play the fight song
at his funeral. In lieu
of
flowers,
his
family
asked for donations to
be sent to the University
of
Michigan
Alumni
Association.
Haynam graduated from
John Carroll University
in 1979 with a degree in
business. He spent a year
at Ohio State University
and joined a fraternity
popular
with
football
players there. According
to his daughter, Melissa
Libertini, Haynam caused
trouble by playing “The
Victors,” the University
of Michigan’s fight song,
in the fraternity house.
“I think he did it just
so that when he was
in his dorm room one
day, or house, he locked
himself
in
his
room
and started playing the
Michigan fight song on
his stereo super loud,”
Libertini said. “Of course
everybody in the house is
going crazy, so they had
to call his brother and
they say, ‘You better come
get your brother because
he’s about to get the crap
beaten out of him if he
doesn’t turn this crap
off.’”
Libertini
remembers
Haynam as an easygoing
father
with
a
passion
for
strategizing
about
Michigan football.
“He had the funniest
sense of humor ever, it
was just very dry, very
sardonic,” Libertini said.
“He was obviously a big
Michigan
football
fan.
Loved Starbucks coffee,
and I don’t know, we
always just had really
funny
conversations,
about,
especially
in
recent years — because

the
Michigan
Football
team hasn’t been doing
so good — just always
hypothesizing about what
they
could
do
better.
Every
year,
whenever
they were doing their
recruiting, and he’d find
out they would get a good
quarterback or some good
player recruited. When
they got Jim Harbaugh he
was super excited.”
According to Libertini,
Haynam
attended
Michigan football games
at The Big House as a
child. This inspired his
love of The Team.
“I really think it was
probably
just
because
it’s the experience he
had going to the games
as a young kid, just the
whole experience of it
all,” Libertini said. “The
maize and blue.”

She continued, saying
Haynam’s
passion
extended to all aspects of
Michigan football.

“He loved Bob Ufer,
the guy who did the
sportscasting, he loved
that guy,” Libertini said.
“He just loved everything
about it, he loved the

whole
team
and
the
mascot, he loved how the
helmets looked, the fight
song, the Big House. He
just loved it all.”
Libertini said if Haynam
could offer any advice to
the Michigan Wolverines
today, it would be this:
“That they got to get
their act together, so they
can beat Ohio State this
year.”
Libertini spoke of her
father’s good character.
According
to
her,
he
was open to having a
conversation with anyone
— even if they supported
the Buckeyes.
“He was a really, really
nice,
easygoing
man,”
Libertini said. “Even if
you were an Ohio State
fan, he’d still sit down
and talk to you. And he is
greatly, greatly missed.”

March 12 , 1970
A call for commitment,
change and action to “Give
Earth a Chance”, was the
theme last night as over 13,000
people attended the kickoff
rally for the University’s teach-
in on the environment.
“We cannot defer for long
a confrontation with the real
debt that we owe to nature-

the total reorganization of
our system of productivity to
make it compatible with the
ecosystem,” ecologist Barry
Commoner told the mammoth
crowd that filled Crisler Arena.
Commoner, along with Sen.
Gaylord
Nelson,
geneticist
James Shapiro, Gov. William
Milliken, actor Arthur Godfrey
and
University
President

Robben Fleming, emphasized
the urgency of environmental
problems and the need for a
sustained effort to solve them.
“The important fact is that
we’re sitting on a delayed-
action bomb and we had
better defuse it as quick as
we can,” Milliken said. “Our
responsibility is not just to
save our own skins but to have

humanity.”
Despite
wide
agreement
that environmental problems
exist, the peaceful rally was
not without dissension. Many
of the speakers were heckled
by audience members and
criticized in a fake program
produced by Students for a
Democratic
Society,
which
also organized a card section.
