More questions than answers T
hey played like they had nothing to lose because there wasn’t anything else to lose. This was EVERETT already the COOK worst season of Brady Hoke’s Michigan coaching career. Athletic Director Dave
Brandon was forced to release a statement emphasizing the job safety of his head coach. Before the game, the job of at least one coordinator, offensive coordinator Al Borges, was most likely in jeopardy. Ohio State was a 14-point favorite. People were expecting a blowout. At a tailgate before the game, Michigan fans were more concerned with Ohio State coach Urban Meyer potentially running up the score than they
were about actually winning the game. So on a Saturday with nothing to lose, the Wolverines played the way they should have all along. Instead of mindlessly handing the ball off-tackle for a one-yard loss, Michigan had reverses to tight ends and a double pass from a wide receiver to a wide receiver-turned-quarterback. Michigan’s running backs carried the ball just 24 times,
Though Team 134 lost The Game Saturday, Michigan claimed one victory against rival Ohio State University. The 32nd annual Blood Battle competition against OSU came to an end Friday with a sanguine win for the University. In 2012, OSU won the Blood Battle, breaking the University’s previous record of four consecutive wins. The University collected 2,575 pints of blood — about 300 more pints than the Buckeyes. The University also won the competition for organ and bone marrow donor signups, beat-
and you could count the number of off-tackle runs on one hand. There was no forcing the ball into the middle of the defense behind a raw offensive line, because the Wolverines employed end-arounds and reverses toward the sidelines to spread the field. And most importantly, instead of taking sacks left and right, Gardner took advantage of receivers running shorter routes. See QUESTIONS, Page 5A

CAMPUS EVENT
AIDS week to raise awareness across campus BSU and other student groups to host daily events By EMILIE PLESSET Daily Staff Reporter
In observance of World AIDS Day on Dec. 1, the University’s Black Student Union will host its yearly AIDS in Black and Brown Week this week. There will be interactive events throughout the week to spread HIV/AIDS awareness and education on campus. Although BSU organizes the week, events are run by a variety of University-affiliated organizations, including the National Council of Negro Women, the Women of Color Collective and the Egyptian Students Association. LSA senior Tyrell Collier, BSU’s president, said the goal of the week is to raise awareness about the HIV/AIDS epidemics’ impacts on the Black and Latino/a community. LSA senior Ozi Uduma, BSU’s Seba — whose task it is to welcome, both physically and spiritually, those present at the mass
meetings — and co-coordinator of the week, said the events provide a domestic focus on the HIV/AIDS epidemic in these communities. “Just because the U.S. as a whole isn’t talking about HIV/ AIDS or putting it on the forefront as they did in the 80s and 90s doesn’t mean that it’s still not prevalent, especially for those who grew up in the Detroit area,” Uduma said. The National Council of Negro Women and Images will host the first event of the week Monday in North Quad at 7:00 p.m. During the event, participants will play “Sex Games,” a game-show contest similar to Family Feud, but the questions pertain to HIV/ AIDS and same-sex practices. The same day, the Phi Beta Sigma National Pan-Hellenic fraternity will host the week’s second event in Palmer Commons where participants will play “Sexas Hold ‘Em,” — in the place of poker chips, participants will use condoms. On Dec. 4 the Michigan Women of Color Collective and the Egyptian Students Association are holding a screening of the 2011 film “Asmaa” in North See AIDS, Page 3A
ing OSU by more than 60,000 organ donation pledges and 200 more bone marrow donor commitments. Overall, Blood Drives United, a student-run service organization that coordinates the Blood Battle, found 103,286 organ donors for Gift of Life Michigan, the state’s organ donor list and 300 bone marrow donors for the Be the Match Registry. Blood Drives United began collecting donations on Nov. 4 at stations sponsored by the American Red Cross. The drive continued daily at various locations on campus, including the Michigan Union and Michigan Stadium, to meet the goal of 2,550 pints of blood. During the three weeks, more than 30 drives were held around campus. LSA senior Kevin Weiss, the Blood Battle’s co-chair, said the group placed a greater emphasis on recruitment this after last year’s loss to OSU. See BLOOD, Page 3A

Researchers shed light on black hole emission limits Space phenomena exceed previous observations By IAN DILLINGHAM Daily Staff Reporter
On a desolate, rocky mountaintop in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, one of the world’s most advanced
ground-based telescopes and a team of University researchers seek to shed light on some of the universe’s greatest astronomical phenomena. A study expected to be published Thursday in the journal Nature will challenge the current understanding of light emissions from black holes, based on the observations of a collaborative global team of researchers at the Gemini
Observatory in Hawaii. It was previously believed that light emission, or luminosity, from black holes reaches a threshold called the Eddington limit, at which no more light can be emitted due to the physics of the black hole. Recent research, led by Astronomy Prof. Joel Bregman, used various properties of the black hole and neighSee EMISSION, Page 3A
For the next several months, the University of Michigan Museum of Art will exhibit Islamic art that showcases the beauty and complexity of everyday objects from the eighth through the 19th centuries. A collaborative effort. UMMA will host the exhibition of objects from the Kelsey Museum of Architecture in its glass-walled Stenn Gallery. This exhibition is part of the UM Collections Collaborations series, supported by the Andrew W. Mellon foundation, where the UMMA showcases the diversity of the University’s art collections. “It’s an opportunity to do something together,” said the associate director of the Kelsey museum, Dawn Johnson. The breadth of this exhibition is impressive: It spans eleven See FRAGMENTS, Page 5A
