Only one game into its Big Ten season, much is yet to be determined for Michigan this year. The Daily evaluates the Wolverinesâ performance so far in 2017.
Dear subscribers,
Today, we have an evaluation of the Michigan football team's season so far as they head into their bye week. We also take a look at the Michigan hockey team, whose offseason has been rife with high expectations, ahead of their exhibition matchup against Western Ontario. We also have coverage of a panel of 1960s civil rights workers, which discussed past and present segregation in Detroit and Ann Arbor. Four students have been selected as official nominees for the prestigious Rhodes and Marshall scholarships. Finally, we take a look at Vice President Mike Pence's stop in Auburn Hills yesterday, where he discussed a Republican tax plan.
All the best,
The Michigan Daily

Thursday night, about 70 students and members of the Ann Arbor community gathered in the Harlan Hatcher Graduate Library to listen to 1960s civil rights workers discuss past and present segregation in Detroit and Ann Arbor. The event focused on how the 1967 Detroit riots in Ann Arbor and the impact they had on the segregation present in Ann Arbor at the time.
Four students have been selected by the University of Michigan to be official nominees for the prestigious Rhodes and Marshall scholarships, which provide full funding for graduate study in the United Kingdom.Â
This years nominees include Public Policy senior Nadine Jawad, recent LSA alum Jonathan Williams, University alum Yiran Liu and University alum Lauren Shepard.Â
This excitement will be on full display Saturday when the doors of Yost Ice Arena open to mark the beginning of hockey season in Ann Arbor once again.
Vice President Mike Pence pitched his party's tax reform plan as "the largest tax cut in American history" to about 300 Michigan residents and business owners at an American Axle and Manufacturing facility in Auburn Hills Thursday afternoon.
Pence and other members of Republican leadership are underlining three major provisions: simplification of the tax code, tax cuts for the middle class and tax cuts for businesses.
