ANCHORAGE, Alaska - At Tuesday's practice, Michigan hockey coach Red Berenson made an unconscious comparison between the city of Anchorage, Alaska and the Alaska-Fairbanks hockey team.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - We started our slow ascension, leaving the salt-rimmed waters of the Utah capitol below, making our final push to the great white north - the first Michigan Daily staffers to do so.

Stickers face weekend grudge match

During the Michigan volleyball team's loss to Michigan State, Spartans coach Chuck Erbe spent the second game wondering, 'Who is this?" She wasn't in his scouting report, yet she had an unheard of .833 attacking percentage. By the time the match was over, Erbe knew who Katrina Lehman was.

Trip to Alaska marks another first for Daily
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - We were preceeded by nomadic Asians 29,000 years ago, Russian traders and explorers, and even Japanese troops who invaded the Aleutian Islands during World War Two.
But as the Michigan Daily touched down in Alaska yesterday, it marked a first-time visit for the 109-year-old newspaper that has spanned the hemisphere to bring coverage back to Ann Arbor.
