…SO (cont.): Now that I’m on the ground here, there’ll be more face- to-face interactions. On Wednesday, I’ll be on both Central and North Campuses meeting with students. I hope to also drop in on classes and other venues so I can interact with people spontaneously. TMD: Over the past few years, the Board of Regents has taken steps to facilitate the process of ratifying new unions. Despite these steps to improve labor relations on c...…
…The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Arts 4 — Wednesday, October 26, 2022 Design by Emma Sortor It was 2013. I was going to see “Frozen.” At 10 years old, I had been brewing in a lukewarm stew of stories with true love and happy endings for as long as I could remember. I followed my family into the movie theater feeling like a total fairy tale movie expert. The premise of “Frozen” is simple: Two princesses grow up as best frien...…
…On Feb. 4, 2016, “Buzzfeed Unsolved True Crime” premiered on BuzzfeedBlue. Originally hosted by Ryan Bergara, the show’s creator, and Brent Bennett until Shane Madej took over for Bennett in late 2016, the first season of “Buzzfeed Unsolved True Crime” was closely followed by the premiere of “Buzzfeed Unsolved Supernatural.” Both shows became almost immediate sensations. Within two years the Buzzfeed Unsolved Network was ...…

I constantly see TikTok videos of people making them and have had the recipe bookmarked on my phone for several weeks,...…
…Ghosts are real. Maybe not in the ways you’ve heard, but I assure you, they’re very real. I’ve seen ghosts nearly everywhere in my hometown all my life — in every corner of my house, in every school I’ve attended, in every nook and cranny of my neighborhood. Every so often, I take it upon myself to collect these ghosts from their spots — not with a positron pack or vacuums or exorcist tools, per se, but to simply visit them and as...…
…Opinion The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com 8 — Wednesday, October 26, 2022 I n recent years, the University of Michigan has been facing a problem common to many universities: too many students are enrolling in computer science courses. To alleviate this, the University began by trying to hire new computer science (CS) professors, with limited success. Though the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) d...…
…Opinion Wednesday, October 26, 2022 — 9 The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com A case for the “Vomit Comet”: the beauty within struggle I t’s 2 a.m. on a Friday night. The streets are desolate. The faint, distant roar of “Pump It Up” in the distance slowly fades away, only to open up a lone- ly silence. You are alone with your thoughts. Your mind races from one topic to the next, trying to make sense of the night you just had....…
…“V oting is at the heart of democracy.” I’ve heard this mantra repeated so many times that, at some point, I became numb to its meaning. Why did voting matter anyway? One vote — my vote — was unlikely to change the result of an election. For a long time, I believed in this line of reasoning; I thought voting was overrated — a waste of time and effort. Looking back now, I wish I hadn’t been so naive. It took the fall of a city fo...…

…Michigan dominates the slot to claim sweep over Lake Superior State SPORTSWEDNESDAY SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. — When the No. 5 Michigan hockey team took the ice against Boston University last weekend, the balance of high-danger chances swung heavily away from it. Doomed by tips, screens and rebounds, the Wolverines were simply outmatched at net front, leading to their first loss of the season. But on Saturday night, Michigan demonstrate...…

…There’s no singular campus experience, but there are a few moments that are iconi- cally “Michigan” — walking through the Diag, studying in the UgLi, going out to the less-than-pristine bars on South University Avenue. Until recently, I had never noticed a common thread between these scenes, but now their similarity strikes me: all of them take place on Central Campus. The fact that when we think of Michigan we think of Central Campus...…
…“Have you ballroom danced before?” a girl asked, as we waited outside the studio door. I shook my head, a reluctant smile appearing on my face. “Not yet, but I am about to.” In my creased, worn, white sneakers, I walked toward the mirror room of the Central Campus Recreation Building, my body excited and ner- vously brimming with anticipation. The dimly lit space was perfumed with sweat and rubber, the clatter of heels against the hardwo...…
…My fascination with witches was born out of reading “The Crucible” my sophomore year of high school. I read aloud the voice of Elizabeth Proctor to the class, my voice trembling as I pleaded with the judge for my innocence, that I did not harm Abigail Williams through supernatural means, that John Proctor was a faithful husband, that I wasn’t a witch. But the judge didn’t believe me, nor did the town of Salem, swept away by a fear on...…
