Beyond Bork News Reports That Left out More Truth Than They Told INSIDE NOVEMBER 1987 FREE Reckless Record Review by Dr. Avalanche Local Press Sampler Community Calendar & Directory ANN ARBOR'S ALTERNATIVE NEWSMONTHLY a-lternative-pr< sampler- "There are 8 million stories in the naked city. Here's one of them..." AGENDA comes s clean by Laurie Jo Wechter Note: AGENDA first appeared in April, 1986. Next month's issue will be the 20th. The paper is financed through advertising, subscription and donation revenues. 10,000 copies are distrib- uted every month for free from over 130 loca- tions in the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area. Below, one editor takes a stab at explaining what makes AGENDA tick. Why AGENDA? It's hard giving a non-rhetorical answer to a question we've had to ask over and over again. We breathe, sleep, don't sleep AGENDA and it is a more personal question than it might seem at first glance. We started AGENDA in early 1986 because we were Myths Distort the Issues frustrated activists. Frustrated because we had a very hard time getting The Ann Arbor News or other media to provide adequate coverage of the issues and events we were concerned with. We also felt the occasional coverage they provided was incomplete, misleading or written with an "angle" in mind. We just got tired of Beyond Bork news reports that left out more truth than they told. So we started our own publication to provide an open by Glenn and Randi Metsch-Ampel community forum, filling an obvious journalistic void in Ann Arbor.

A doctoral seminar on the history of the School has generated a lecture series (under the auspices of the Center for Career LATEST FROM Development) and a series of historical recitals to be performed both in the School and in ANN ARBOR surrounding communities. U-M composers past and present loomed large in these programs, as they did on the stages of our theatres and concert halls. The year was formidably full as the School welcomed Christopher Kendall as its new Dean and broke ground on the Walgreen Drama center and Arthur Miller Theatre. Every ensemble and department of the School contributed to the anniversary with special concerts and events presented throughout the year, with the culminating gala event the Collage Concert on April 1, 2006.

There were objections to making it part of the two original buildings (Mason Hall and South College), the construction materials (stucco over brick), the dome, and the “pepper boxes” ornamenting the roof. In 1879 the Regents ordered the removal of “the two circular corner turrets and the two turrets at the base of the dome” and provided for the finishing of “the said corners and said sides in conformity with the style of said dome.” The balustrade that bordered the roofs of the two wings was also removed.

  • Burn Brightly in Search of Those Who Carry the Torch and Those Who Shine Brightest, We Uncover Campus Gems That Comprise a Sparkling Selection of LSA Brilliance
    Fall 2013 Burn Brightly IN SEARCH OF THOSE WHO CARRY THE TORCH AND THOSE WHO SHINE BRIGHTEST, WE UNCOVER CAMPUS GEMS THAT COMPRISE A SPARKLING SELECTION OF LSA BRILLIANCE. This rare papercut from China’s Cultural Revolution was almost lost forever, but now is available as part of a stunning collection for researchers worldwide. Turn to p. 16 for more. UPDATE Lighting the Way IT TAKES A LOT OF ENERGY to make something burn brightly. The same is true of an idea or a person. It’s easier to go along as one of crowd. The status quo is comfortable. It takes curiosity, stamina, and that all-important spark to kindle greatness, and it takes a Michigan Victor to keep the spark burning as a flame. Leaders and Vic- tors shine brighter than their counterparts because they have figured out how to burn — even amid shadows. But how do they ignite and feed their individual sparks? The Victors in this issue all exemplify one consistent theme: Their brilliance defies logical, run-of-the-mill thinking. Just as the massive secrets of the universe can be un- locked by the tiniest particles, Victors are brave enough to embrace the contradictory. Victors who help others get ahead. Those who serve others become leaders. Victors who give get the most back. Those who strive for deeper understanding throw out much of what they think they know. Leaders who have found a way to unleash their light didn’t just pull it out from under the bushel. They used the bushel itself to light a thousand other fires.
