Thursday night, the Michigan men's basketball team triumphed over Indiana with a 90-60 win. The University of Michigan Division of Public Safety and Security has expanded their offer for safety presentations in light of concerns about emergency situations on campus. The University Musical Society appointed Matthew VanBesien, current New York Philharmonic executive director, as their seventh president.

After all, it hasn’t been easy to defend his conservative views on campus.

“It's playing off that joke that college makes people more liberal, and when you think about it, it's true,” Zalamea said. “It all boils down to (how) liberalism is taught like a fact as opposed to an opinion.”
