Dear subscribers,
Today, we take a look at the Michigan football team's defensive line, which is ranked No. 1 in the country. Wednesday night, students attempted to shut down a talk by Charles Murray, author of the 1994 book "The Bell Curve." Today's B-Side explores Michigan SahÄnÄ, a student organization focused on classical art forms of India. Additionally, we have an interview with composer Gabriela Lena Frank. Finally, we take a look at the two University of Michigan professors who have been awarded MacArthur genius grants.
All the best,
The Michigan Daily

Palmer Commons was rocked Wednesday night by the presence and subsequent protests of Charles Murray, a controversial social scientist known for a correlation of race and IQ, a theory debunked widely over the years.
Even though the organizationâs work on expanding its campus identity is ongoing, the unwavering bonds within Michigan SahÄnÄ are apparent from the continued emphasis on a sense of family.
The final destination of all of Frankâs efforts remains to be seen, but the road to it runs through her roots. Her own unique compositional voice is essential to who she is today, a composer recognized internationally for her abilities and one of the leading voices for multiculturalism in music.
Two University of Michigan professors are included in this year's class of MacArthur Fellows, which in total comprises 24 artists, writers, researchers and community leaders. The MacArthur Fellowships, also known as "genius grants," are awarded to "talented individuals who have shown extraordinary originality and dedication in their creative pursuits and a marked capacity for self-direction," according to the MacArthur Foundation website.
