…The University of Michigan recently increased its police presence following the Feb. 13 shooting at Michigan State University “out of an abundance of caution,” as noted by the U-M Division of Public Safety and Security in a Feb. 14 press release. The announcement has been met with mixed responses from U-M students and faculty, making it clear that not everyone feels safer with more police on campus. In a Feb. 14 statement,...…
…Each month, The Michigan Daily publishes a compilation of bills in the Michigan legislature for students at the University of Michigan to be aware of. The following article explains five bills that have been introduced, passed or signed into law by the Michigan legislature or Gov. Gretchen Whitmer throughout the month of February. 1. Ban on discrimination of hair styles typically associated with race Status: Introduce...…
…When I think of how I’d describe the Ross School of Business, a few thoughts come to mind: classroom building, study spot, home of one of the busiest Starbucks on campus (indeed, it’s rumored that the Business School’s Starbucks has the highest revenue per square foot ratio of all Starbucks in America). An art museum is not one of them. And yet, step inside the Business School and you’ll find art displays of all kinds, from paint...…
…Calling all corporate higher-ups: Trust falls are no longer the best way for your employees to practice team building. Try freefalls from the top of a mountain, with a child strapped to each of their chests. This technique worked for the characters of writer-director João Gonzalez’s (“Nestor”) animated short “Ice Merchants,” so it should work for you. The premise of “Ice Merchants” is inherently ridiculous. A father- son duo lives ...…

…The Sunday morning of Sept. 15, 1963 was Youth Day at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala. Dr. Sarah Col- lins Rudolph described it as a joyous morning buzzing with excitement and children’s laugh- ter as she and four other little girls went to the basement of the church to freshen up. These four little girls were her sister, Addie Mae Collins, and best friends Denise McNair, Carole Robert- son and Cynthia Wesley. While...…
…“I call it my ‘off-the-grid’ time,” she tells me as she proudly holds up the device. It is not an iPhone, but rather, a flip phone. LSA sophomore Olivia Spaulding explained that she purchased the TCL flip phone in an effort to block out the distractions and anxiety provoked by her regular smartphone. “I can scroll for hours without even realizing it,” she admitted in an interview with The Daily. “This eliminates that temptation.” ...…
…I have a confession. I’m currently writing this article at 10:32 a.m., roughly an hour and a half before it is due. I and other serial procrastinators are aware that this vice is preventable, but it’s largely out of our hands. Popular “to-do” list platforms such as Google Calendar, Notion and Monday.com try to outcompete each other for the best innovations in organizational features and gadgets. Ultimately, these...…

And with that famil- iarity, Tholl understands the legacy and prowess of the program — along with the disappointment of early playoff exits in recent years. Before the season began, Tholl procl...…

Adjustments, changing circum- stances and added motivation cre- ate different outcomes in repeat matchups, often making back-to- back-to-back victories a daunting task. But on Friday, the No. 17 Mi...…

…Most days I don’t have time to, but when I can manage it, I like to go home for lunch. It’s a good break, not only from the competi- tive atmosphere of our campus, but also from all the responsibilities that hang over my head. Since I live near the Athletic Campus, I usu- ally feel awkward walking back to my afternoon classes while lacking the athletic backpack. A stream of athletes rush against me, outfitted in their dark-blue parka...…
…Maile’ana Kanewa-Herme- lyn, the team’s assistant coach who specializes in the balance beam, attempted to teach me how to turn on the beam. Unsurpris- ingly, I couldn’t balance, and in- stead took steps off — costing my- self a half point deduction. This seemingly-slight metric is more than enough to lose a meet, where the results often come down to hundredths of points — for exam- ple, Michigan’s 2021 national title was only won by ....…
…I’m a heavy sleeper. I wake up everyday feeling like I’ve been bulldozed over, rolling around and fermenting in my conscious- ness, like a grain malt steeping in the darkness. Sometimes, espe- cially recently, I’ve been carrying a sapped, dragged energy through- out my days, wishing that I’d get my life more together but never really having the spirit to do so, rolling around and wishing I’d do some- thing. My other Immersion Edition ...…
…that summarizes books for you. I filled out their introduction ques- tionnaire, and I’m told that by using their service, I can save 56 hours a month from reading books! It makes me sick. The part of my brain responsible for artistic integrity is trying to unionize, but I placate it: try it. It couldn’t hurt. On Blinkist, I “read” the “Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” in 15 minutes. It’s a blur, but more pressingly, this meth...…
…According to history, legend, or something of the sort, the first mara- thon was run by the ancient messen- ger Pheidippides who ran 26.2 miles from the battlefield of Marathon to Athens to proclaim victory over the Persians. Immediately following his pronouncement, Pheidippides col- lapsed to the ground and died from exhaustion, his mission complete. I like to imagine that if he had run half that distance, he would’ve done exactly wha...…
…Wednesday, March 8, 2023 // The Statement — 7 I’ve always been not so great at beginnings. Whether it’s adapting to a new place, writing a script or start- ing a new relationship — or as I’ve recently discovered — writing a joke, I struggle to get settled as quickly as I’d like, or immerse my audience into what I describe. But maybe this strug- gle with setup is a good thing. As I’ve also recently discovered, if one doesn’t know what ...…
