When I was in elementary school, my parents used to take me and my sisters trick or treating at the Natural History museum. My mom would dress us up in some last-minute costume so we could hang out with dinosaurs the Sunday before Halloween. So when the Natural History Museum announced that they were closing this December and moving to the new Biological Sciences building, I knew I had just one last chance to experience Halloween in the Hall of Evolution.
Dear subscribers,
Today, we take a look at Michigan football's freshman defensive tackle Aubrey Solomon's new diet and improved performance. University President Mark Schlissel discusses the changes he hopes to see around the university in the coming months. The Statement explores the intersection of gender and the gym, and takes a look at Halloween at the Natural History museum. Finally, we look in to a record-breaking step forward in space technology, led by researchers at the University.
All the best,
The Michigan Daily

Schlissel: "I try not to have a personal opinion" on potential C.C. Little renaming, awaiting further review
Considering the protests on campus that followed the speech from Charles Murray last month and student concerns over a possible visit from Richard Spencer, The Daily sat down with University President Mark Schlissel to address these issues, the progress the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion plan has made over the past year and the renaming of the C.C. Little building.
Gender and the Gym
âYou need to be more aggressive.â
I nodded quietly at my baseball coach and walked back to home plate, where I attempted to muster up all the energy in my lithe, eight-year-old body to hit the ball. My helmet felt too big on my head. My milk-white pants felt too tight on my legs. I already had two strikes, and I knew that I was a swing and a miss away from my third. It didnât even matter at that point. I wasnât âaggressiveâ enough to play baseball, and I couldnât pretend to be.
Record-breaking step forward in space technology led by UM researchers
Black holes, new planet discoveries and now, breaking records. For University researchers, the sky isn't the limit â and neither is space.Â
A Hall thruster engine designed by a University of Michigan team has broken records in its speed and efficiency, compared to similar devices used in space technology today.
The project research and development was headed by Alec Gallimore, University of Michigan professor of aerospace engineering and Robert J. Vlasic dean of Engineering.
