The Wolverines brought a new edge against the Spartans that was lacking in East Lansing nine days prior en route to an 86-57 victory at Crisler Center.
Dear subscribers,
Today, The Statement ponders the Muslim Students' Association's place on campus. Late Tuesday night, racist and anti-semitic emails were sent out to University of Michigan Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate students. Kathryn J. Edin and H. Luke Shaefer, co-authors of $2.00 a Day, discussed their book and poverty solutions in Rackham on Tuesday. Tuesday night, the Michigan men's basketball team essentially put the game against Michigan State to bed in the first half, finishing with a 55-29 win. Finally, Michigan softball coach Carol Hutchins is confident that the underclassmen on the team will be able to step up in after last year's accomplished senior class.
All the best,
The Michigan Daily
Kathryn Edin and Luke Shaefer presented their book â$2.00 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in Americaâ â which won the 2016 Hillman Prize for Book Journalism and made The New York Timesâ list of â100 Notable Books of 2015â â to approximately 600 visitors Tuesday night at Rackham Auditorium, followed by a book signing.
Tuesday night, at least three racist emails were sent out to University of Michigan Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate students.
The subjects of the first two emails was âAfrican American Student Diversityâ and the third read âJewish Student Diversity.â
The first two emails read: âHi n*****s, I just wanted to say that I plan to kill all of you. Â White power! Â The KKK has returned!!! Heil Trump!!!!â
The onus to fill the void of one of the most accomplished senior classes in school history may have to fall on the shoulders of the underclassmen.
There is no mosque or designated prayer room. A reminder must be sent out each week specifying when and where to meet on Fridays so that the prayers can be held. Efforts have been made, Iâm told, to secure a stable location, but to no avail. Jumuah â the mandatory ritual prescribed by the faith â on the University of Michiganâs campus is an unknown quantity.
