After 150 years med school continues to make breakthroughs
Although 1998 marks the 150th birthday of the Univeristy's Medical School, most of its doctors, physicians and researchers prefer to let their ground-breaking work - rather than major ceremonies and parties - mark the occasion.
"We are a magnet for top students at undergraduate, graduate, professional and post-doctoral levels because of our outstanding faculty, excellent resources and special core facilities," said University Executive Vice President for Medical Affairs Gilbert Omenn.

According to a respected physician of the era, to endure long, hot summers of the late 19th Century, Ann Arborites needed to drink plenty of fresh sweet milk and take a cold bath or shower at least three hours after eating.
He also suggested that men wear loose clothing - an attire of tan stockings, wide, white-colored trousers, a light gray coat, a shirt not requiring a vest and a straw hat, preferably well-ventilated, for instance, functioned well. "Don't complain of how much warmer it is than it ought to be," the doctor ordered in a column for the Aug.
In times of chilling winter weather, stressful study sessions and shameful Saturday Night Live episodes, everyone needs a good laugh. Alas, fear not, humor deprived, get ready to blast off to a half hour of Ann Arbor's very own comedic talent.

"We need the funk! Gotta have the funk!"
With those lyrics from his 1976 song "Give Up the Funk," George Clinton summed up the feelings of the American public: We are a nation that craves the funk.

"What was Lloyd Carr thinking?" is a question that went through the minds of quite a few fans at Saturday's clash with Wisconsin. Trying a fake field goal on fourth and seven during his team's first possession of the game? And running instead of passing? Well, second guessers looking for an answer had to look no further than Sunday's broadcast of "Michigan Replay.'Michigan Replay' reveals all Carr has to offer
The Coen Brothers ("Fargo" and "The Big Lebowski") are the most creative team working in film today. Period. The Coen Brothers' comedy is somehow sophisticated and wonderfully basic at the same time, and "Raising Arizona" is no exception.

Mackinac Island is More than just a summer destination
One of the most unique road trip destinations in Michigan does not permit cars.
Mackinac Island, the historic little city between Michigan's Lower and Upper Peninsulas, has become one of the state's top fall and winter tourism destinations.

Canned soup and lawsuits
I had a problem.I was very hungry. I hadn't eaten for nearly an entire day. My stomach was emitting deep alarming growls as it warned me that it would begin gnawing on my ribs unless I located for it some sort of nourishment. I'd gladly have fed it, if I could have. I'd have liked nothing better than to soothe my agitated belly with plate after plate of hot food, washed down with several glasses of cold milk.But as I said, I had a problem.
A failure to communicate
A few of weeks ago, one of my teachers commented on how e-mail is one of the lowest forms of communication. At first, I brushed the comment aside; I didn't consider it much.
