Students join pres. for holiday festivities With those left on campus in mind, Schlissel hosts first Thanksgiving in A2 By EMILIE PLESSET Daily Staff Reporter
While campus may have seemed very quiet over the weekend, the President’s House on South University Avenue was buzzing with Thanksgiving festivities. University President Mark Schlissel invited about a dozen students who stayed on campus during Thanksgiving Break to celebrate the holiday with him and his family. Many of these students had obligations on campus or are originally from places far from the University. Education junior Hugo Lawton, an Australian international student, said the dinner allowed him the opportunity to celebrate Thanksgiving, which he otherwise would not have done. “It was a great way for all of us, who would have otherwise been sitting in our room all
week, a great way to feel very included in the holiday and have a chance to celebrate with people,” Lawton said. Though many of the students did not know each other prior to the dinner, Lawton said the president made everyone feel welcome, adding that he was surprised by the dinner’s informal atmosphere. After dinner, Schlissel gave the students a tour of the house. “It felt like a family Thanksgiving dinner,” Lawton said. “It didn’t seem like the president has been forced to host a Thanksgiving dinner and cater for some kids. It seemed like he was really interested in being there and really very interested in what we were studying and what’s going on in our lives.” Prior to dessert, and in the spirit of Thanksgiving tradition, everyone at the table shared what they were thankful for this year. Schlissel also asked the students to share something they like about the University that they don’t want him to change. Lawton said he enjoyed hearing Schlissel speak candidly and reflect on his first semester See HOLIDAY, Page 3A

Running back Drake Johnson ran for 74 yards and two touchdowns on 15 attempts, sparking an offense that found success against one of the nation’s best teams.
Greg Garno: Saturday shows what ‘M’ could have been After season filled disappointment, Wolverines briefly meet expectations COLUMBUS — It began with Devin Gardner, the fifth-year senior quarterback, throwing an early interception. He hung his head the same way he always has as he rushed off the field to the Ohio State marching band piped in through the speakers. It ended with Drake Johnson, the sophomore running back, shaking his head in disbelief as he handed in his helmet to a man-
ager one last time this season, all while fans heckled him from the concourse of Ohio Stadium. Saturday’s game began and ended in the pain you had expected and dreaded for a week. But somewhere, right GREG in the mid- GARNO dle, for 28:27 worth of game time, there was everything you had dreamed this team could be. After it had failed to do so for much of its season, Michigan had finally “executed.”
It ran an offense that rushed the ball well with a running back corps that was three deep. When it didn’t, it turned to its quarterback, who escaped pressure by scrambling to the outside. He was capable of handling pressure and making throws to his No. 1 wide receiver, just as the fifth-year senior had been projected to do. The Wolverines scored points, stopped one of the nation’s best quarterbacks in J.T. Barrett, and, for 28:27, their performance was everything you had hoped and dreamed it could be. You forgot about the 5-6 record, the blowout in South Bend, the rain-soaked nightmare against Utah and whatever that
was against Northwestern. You forgot about Joe Bolden’s stake, Dave Brandon’s resignation and Mark Schlissel’s candid remarks about the role of athletics on campus. You forgot, because you saw what the Michigan football team could have been. You saw Michigan coach Brady Hoke smile, wearing his sunglasses as he high-fived Jack Miller after the Wolverines grabbed the lead. Maybe you smiled, too. Michigan could have been a team, which, stuck on its own fiveyard line, ran the ball to Johnson enough to create space to throw. It could have been a team that See SPORTS, Page 3A

Village Apothecary steeped in tradition, history Despite South U. changes, pharmacy remains a constant By EMILIE PLESSET Daily Staff Reporter
Wedged between Underground Printing and Rendez Vous Café, the white storefront of The Village Apothecary, an independent, family-owned
drug store, has occupied 1112 S. University Ave. for the past 84 years. Since 1930, the pharmacy — the word ‘apothecary’ hearkens back to ancient medical professionals — has changed ownership four times. Originally founded by Frederick Stegath, the store was called “Stegath’s Drug Store” for its first seven years until Stegath’s death in 1937. Oscar Carlson soon after bought the store and renamed it
“Carlson Pharmacy.” It wasn’t until Fred Kreye bought the pharmacy in 1964 that the store was given its current name. Ann Arbor resident Garry Turner currently owns the The Village Apothecary. Turner said while the South University landscape has changed over the years, the store has remained relatively unchanged. When Kreye owned the Apothecary, there were gas See APOTHECARY, Page 3A
Report shows number of HIV/ AIDS cases rises in Washtenaw County By SHOHAM GEVA Daily Staff Reporter
In recognition of World AIDS Day, several businesses in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti will temporarily host a mobile testing site for HIV on Monday through the HIV/AIDS Resource Center. The World Health Organization estimates 35 million people suffer from AIDS worldwide. Estimates by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention put the number of Americans with HIV at more than 1.1 million, and in a June interview, Leon Golson, HARC’s director of prevention
programs, said the number of cases in Washtenaw County for individuals aged 13 to 29 was on the rise. HARC will travel to Walgreens on Washtenaw Avenue in Ypsilanti at 9 a.m., followed by a visit to Harmony House Motel at noon. The day will end at the Safe Sex Store — also known as S3 — in Ann Arbor from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. The theme of this year’s World AIDS Day is “Focus, Partner, Achieve: An AIDS-free Generation.” S3 owner BethAnn Karmeisool said the events play an important role in creating open discussions regarding sex that include individuals of all identities. “This is the mission that S3 has always stood for,” Karmeisool said. “It’s important to provide a sex-positive environment for all people regardless of age, race, See S3, Page 3A
