From the Daily: Blood feud
While the Michigan football team gears up to play Ohio State University in two weeks, the entire student body is also preparing for battle - the Blood Battle. Every year, students at the University and OSU compete for bragging rights over which university can collect the most blood donations, and this year the competition has already begun. Kicked off last Friday with the Michigan Marching Band and the raising of a banner over the steps of the Michigan Union, the blood drive will continue for two weeks until Nov.
A witch hunt
In the wake of several alcohol-related deaths on college campuses nationwide - the most recent at Michigan State University this past Thursday - the problem of binge drinking among students has been very much in the national spotlight. In fact, a national teleconference on the subject will be hosted this Friday by Washington State University. A study conducted by Harvard University recommends regulating alcohol use on campus, limiting student access to alcohol and enforcing the minimum drinking age law.
Letters to the Editor
Are you a 'hot prospect?'
There are certain things in American life that we treat as cultural currency. That is to say, things we're so familiar with, that are so common to all of us, that everybody uses them with varying degrees of fluency. Books of green stamps at the grocery store used to be like this. Jukebox records too. For people of our time, we have big wheels, braces, Mr. Rogers and piano lessons.
