by Andrew Kalenkiewicz

As 2011 comes to a close, Americans all across the spectrum will begin to prepare for yet another round of the campaigning and electioneering in 2012. U-M is no exception.

And so Michigan football will face its biggest test, undefeated again…

by Andrew Kalenkiewicz

Here we stand, six weeks into the season, and six victories for the Maize and Blue. Michigan’s first road win of the season had some impressive moments, despite a fairly sloppy start. Brady Hoke and co. found themselves down 24-14 after two quarters, in a first half that seemed all too reminiscent of the first half they had [...]

A dominant performance, but the true tests come next…

by Andrew Kalenkiewicz

The stat line says it all. Michigan: 570 yards of offense, 32 first downs, 8.7 yards per catch, and 7.6 yards per carry in an absolutely commanding performance all around.  Minnesota: 177 yards and 0 points. Let’s put it this way; Vincent Smith became the first college football player since 2009 to run, catch, and throw for a touchdown [...]

What 4-0 Really Means

by Andrew Kalenkiewicz

Euphoria, albiet ominous

by Andrew Kalenkiewicz

Euphoria. Complete and utter jubilation, Maize and Blue style. In the words of David After Dentist, “Is this real life?” I think it’s pretty safe to say that the first night game in Michigan history started off as a big deal, but will ultimately go down in history as one of the most exhilarating, mind-boggling [...]

Antidepressants on the Rise as Treatment for Student Depression

by Andrew Kalenkiewicz

According to a study, 14.2 percent of U-M students claim to have taken an antidepressant at some point in their lives.

Wisconsin Crisis Chock-Full of Political Tomfoolery

by Andrew Kalenkiewicz

I DO NOT skip class. Ever. Call me fanatical, but I cringe when I oversleep for five minutes and have to show up late to chem lecture. Every winter, I am perpetually annoyed by the annual complaints that Michigan hasn’t had a snow day since 1974. So what? Snowpocalypse? Cute. More like wuss-pocalypse. Get up and go to class already, you baby.

Health Care War Reaches State Level

by Andrew Kalenkiewicz

Now that the U.S. House of Representatives has passed its version of the enormously controversial healthcare reform bill, the debate on universal healthcare is set to heat up even more as the bill comes to the Senate, where it will be significantly harder for the Democrats to squeak out a victory.
