THIS IS MICHIGAN “[Here at Michigan] Olympians Coach Me THIS IS MICHIGAN “[Here at Michigan] Olympians coach me. Nobel Prize winners lecture me. I eat lunch with All-Americans. In the athletic training room, I sit next to Big Ten champions. I meet with prize-winning authors during their office hours. I take class notes next to American record holders. I walk to class with members of national championship teams. I open doors once opened by Oscar-winning actors, former Presidents and astronauts ... it’s all in the day of a Michigan student-athlete.” Shelley Johnson Former Michigan Field Hockey Player In January 2008, Forbes.com rated the University of Michigan No. 1 on it's list of "Champion Factories." Examining the current rosters at that time in the NFL, NBA, NHL, Major League Baseball and Major League Soccer, 68 professional athletes competed collegiately at Michigan. Among the U-M alumni were 21 hockey players, including Dallas Stars goaltender Marty Turco; three baseball players, three basketball players, including Dallas Mavericks forward Juwan Howard; and 41 football players, includ- ing New England QB Tom Brady.

Since then, Wolverine dynasties have developed in football, men's swimming and diving and ice hockey. In fact, no other NCAA Division I program boasts more nation- al titles in hockey or men's swimming and diving. In 2005, Michigan softball captured the nation's attention win- ning its first Women's College World Series, becoming the first school east of the Mississippi to do so. 2005 NCAA Indoor Distance Medley Relay 2007 NCAA indoor 60-meter hurdles Champions: Nicole Edwards, Lindsey Gallo, Michigan student-athletes have champion Jeff Porter Theresa Feldkamp and Sierra Hauser-Price accumulated 278 NCAA titles dating back to 1922.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

THE NBC BROADCAST NETWORK’S PRIMETIME DEPICTION OF MALE GYMNASTS AT THE 2012 OLYMPIC GAMES Paul MacArthur1, James Angelini2, Andrew Billings3 and Alexis March4 1 Utica College - Public Relations and Journalism, Utica, New York, United States 2 University of Delaware – Communication Newark, New York, United States 3University of Alabama - Telecommunication & Film Tuscaloosa, Alabama, United States 4 Utica College, Utica, New York, United States Research article Abstract This study analyzes how U.S.-based NBC announcers portray male gymnasts in comparison to all other male competitors within the primetime broadcast of the Summer Olympic Games. Contrasts were analyzed regarding attributions of success, failure and personality/physicality. Analysis of NBC’s primetime coverage of the 2012 London Olympic Summer Games revealed seven (7) significantly-different dialogue trends between male gymnasts and the aggregate of other male Summer Olympians. Specifically, male gymnasts were more likely to have their success (i) credited to athletic skill/strength and (ii) composure and their failure (iii) attributed to a lack of concentration and a (iv) lack of athletic ability compared to the aggregate of other male Olympians. Male gymnasts were also more likely to receive comments about being (v) modest or introverted and have their (vi) emotional state described. Male athletes competing in all sports except for gymnastics were more likely to have their successes (vii) attributed to their experience. Keywords: television, commentary, comparision, athletes, gymnasts.

  • School of Music: 125 Years of Artistry & Scholarship
    fanfareSpring 2006 Michigan Band Alumni: Vol. 57 No. 2 Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow IN THIS ISSUE School of Music: 125 Years of Artistry & Scholarship PREVIEW EXCERPT FROM THE UPCOMING BOOK: “THAT Michigan BAND” And UMBAA NEWS & ACTIVITIES ALUMNI UPDATE Photo Courtesy of Dick Gaskill NEW UMBAA GOLF OUTING The year long celebration of the 125th anniversary of the School of Music was as wide-ranging as the School itself has become, comprising music, theatre, and dance; performance, AND THE scholarship, and service; faculty, students, and community. 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.
