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,

‘$2.00 a Day’ authors talk book’s creation and future film adaptation

Kathryn Edin and Luke Shaefer presented their book “$2.00 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America” — which won the 2016 Hillman Prize for Book Journalism and made The New York Times’ list of “100 Notable Books of 2015” — to approximately 600 visitors Tuesday night at Rackham Auditorium, followed by a book signing.

Racist and anti-Semitic emails sent to University engineering, computer science students

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 “African American Student Diversity” and the third read “Jewish Student Diversity.”

The first two emails read: “Hi n*****s, I just wanted to say that I plan to kill all of you.  White power!  The KKK has returned!!! Heil Trump!!!!”

Hutchins confident in underclassmen to step up

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.

Efforts have been made, I’m told, to secure a stable location, but to no avail. Jumuah — the mandatory ritual prescribed by the faith — on the University of Michigan’s campus is an unknown quantity.
