…The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Sports Wednesday, February 24, 2021 — 15 COLUMBUS — Something had to give. Entering Sunday, the Michigan men’s basketball team boasted the nation’s seventh-best defense. Ohio State, meanwhile, owned the third-best offense. In a battle of Big Ten heavyweights, the Buckeye attack proved potent. Yet, the Wolverine offense matched Ohio State punch for punch, rising to the occasion and ...…
…In the halftime locker room during the Michigan men’s basketball team’s game against Ohio State, senior wing Chaundee Brown had one message for Michigan coach Juwan Howard: “Go to Hunter.” In their biggest game of the year, the Wolverines shouldered their offensive load onto freshman center Hunter Dickinson. Putting that kind of pressure on any freshman will undoubtedly lead to a few butterflies. At this point in hi...…
…After over two years of deliberation, research and engagement with community members, the President’s Commission on Carbon Neutrality released its final 104-page report on March 18. The document outlines 50 recommendations for the University of Michigan’s three campuses to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2040 as part of efforts to combat the ongoing climate crisis. None of the recommendations are binding — i...…

Included in the March 18 debate were both the presidential and vice presidential candidates from all three CSG executive tickets: ORGANIZE, CHANGE and IMPACT. Each round laste...…
…On March 16, 2020, Kat Dyke, a waitress at the Earle Restaurant in Ann Arbor, was told she would not be allowed to return to work for the time being — not because of her or anyone else’s wrongdoing, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dyke said she was thrown into a swirl of confusion when she received her boss’s text saying the Earle would be shut down for the near future. Her boss was required to close the restaurant due to ...…
…In light of the administration’s initiative announced last fall to assemble a task force to help diversify the names of campus spaces, an analysis by The Michigan Daily of 103 on-campus buildings at the University of Michigan found that only one — the Trotter Multicultural Center — is named after a person of color. Trotter is named after William Monroe Trotter, a newspaper editor and activist for Black civil rights. This...…
…The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Arts Wednesday, March 24, 2021 — 5 French composer Claude Debussy undoubtedly remains at the forefront of impressionism in music. He may have denied it, shrugging off the movement as a mere label, but as of today, he’s the first to come up in a quick Googling of the musical genre. The next to come up in the search, other than “La Mer,” “Clair de Lune” and a few of his other staples, might be h...…
…The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Arts 6 — Wednesday, March 24, 2021 Written, directed and produced by Wes Hurley (“Fallen Jewel”), “Potato Dreams of America” has been years in the making. The film, based on real events in Hurley’s life, has had different iterations, including a short, “Little Potato,” which won the documentary short Jury Prize at SXSW in 2020, and a VR short entitled “Potato Dreams.” But the runup to this fi...…
…I sit at my grandma’s kitchen table –– as I do every Sunday –– and the routine is always the same. It’s usually me, my brother, my dad and my grandpa just sitting and talking, waiting for our food to come. My sister, however, is typically given the task of fetching our drinks, silverware and any other item necessary for our traditional Mexican meal. As we sit and wait, my grandma is scurrying around the kitchen trying to handle fl...…

…7-Opinion M y worst habit involves reading the comments and quote tweets on The New York Times articles about sexual misconduct allegations. They are, without fail, a dumpster fire of victim blaming. However, given the well-corroborated account of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s sexual harassment of former aide, Charlotte Bennett, I thought the discourse might reflect reality. No such luck. It doesn’t matter that the sim...…
…J oe Manchin is to progressives what Mitch McConnell was to liberals. Or is he? Over the past few months, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., has been in the crosshairs of many progressives and liberals for his staunchly moderate viewpoints. Manchin opposes a $15 minimum wage, removing the filibuster and other progressive policies like Medicare for All. He also responded to calls to “defund the police” last summer by tactfully tw...…
…A lot of my freshman year Welcome Week is now something of a blur in my memory because of my constant, ut- ter confusion around where I was go- ing and what I was doing. But there’s one thing I remember clearly. I was pregaming in a room in my hall with several other freshman girls, whom I’d met and was friendly with but didn’t really know. Between shots of the vodka my hostess’s par- ents bought her before they left, I mentioned...…

…M y series of thoughts on sea- sons: If summer is a glass of cold lemonade, and winter’s a crossword at candle-light, then fall is a call from a very old friend, and spring is a coffee at sunrise. Summer is for enjoyment, fall is for ambition and winter is for persever- ance. Spring is for rebirth. I’ve always felt that the first signs of spring marked the new year. I don’t care about what the calendars in my life say — New Year’s ...…
…Nine days and two games isn’t much time for Juwan Howard to have it figured out, but it’ll have to be enough. The last time Isaiah Livers got hurt, the Michigan men’s basketball team failed that test. It’s easy to for- get now — that 2019-20 team wasn’t as good as this team, that season’s end overshadows every- thing in a way this season’s won’t. Howard, of course, remembers. “We had some experience in this ...…
…As various instances of inequitable treatment from the men’s and wom- en’s NCAA basketball tournaments circulate the internet, the optics are damning. To start, there have been images showing the difference between men’s and women’s weight rooms. There have been similar images regarding “swag bags” at the men’s and women’s tournaments. Moreover, there have been less tangi- ble disparities in that the me...…

Eli Brooks wiggled free from a scrum with the rebound as serenades of cheers washed down from a boisterous crowd. In the frontcourt, he dribbled out the inevitable. A special season will last at least one more game. In a high-flying shootout, the Wolverines (22-4 overall, 14-3 Big Ten) outlasted ups...…

…Arts 6 — Graduation Edition 2022 When we think of what defines good art, nationality and language are generally not the first factors that come to mind. Yet, in reality, the cel- ebration of the arts is often heavily influenced by outdated ideas dictat- ing what stories are deserving of rec- ognition. The British-Japanese pop singer Rina Sawayama stands as one of the clearest examples of this phenom- enon. When BRITs and the Mercury p...…
…Reading has always been a solitary activity for me. When I checked out books at the public library as a child, I knew that those books were mine alone for the next two weeks. I read for hours while curled up on the couch, oblivious to everything except the words on the page. When my mother called me for dinner, I scrambled to reach a good stopping point in my book before joining my family. As a child, I’d never thought of books as a ...…

But this definition may not be so all-encompassing; for one, it would render adoption illegitimate and negates what some of us consider our “chosen families.” When we shift our lens to Southeastern Asia, specif- ically Tibet, this rigidity surr...…
