Spring Break
Worst of Ann Arbor
Issue date: 4/1/08 Section: Opinion
Campus
Campus Publication: The Michigan Daily
(From Editor-in-Chief Michael O'Brien: Sorry, guys, but the staff's choice trumps mine: The Michigan Independent, and Chill magazine.)
Fraternity: ADPhi
Sorority: DPhiE
Fashion Trend: "Stretch pants are NOT pants!"
Class: Econ 401 (Runner-up: Organic Chemistry)
On the staff survey, several freshmen listed Econ 101 as the worst course they have taken. Little do they know the horrors of upper-level microeconomics.
Professor: Gregory Markus (Political Science 300)
It's difficult to take such a hardcore douchebag like Greg Markus seriously, especially from a conservative's perspective. He claims his classes are unbiased and that, in fact, he is "conservative" on some issues. Nevermind his support for socialized medicine and all other kinds of big government. We're seriously shocked this guy still has a job.
U-M Administrator: Mary Sue Coleman
As much as we love when Mary Sue goes batshit in the middle of campus, it's probably not the most becoming for presidents of a major public university. We're still not over our grudge with Harvard for hiring Drew Faust over our beloved President Coleman.
Use of Student Funds: Michigan Student Assembly (Runner-up: Sex Workers' Art Show)
Actually, these two might be the same event.
Student Organization: Michigan Student Assembly (Runner-up: BAMN)
Campus Event: The Homecoming Parade
Sport: Basketball
Party Theme: Any stereotype, particularly "ghetto"
Major: Women's Studies
This is not what we thought it was.
Campus Tradition: Convocation
The Michigan Review secretly loves convocation. Last year when we were passing out our orientation issue on the steps of Crisler Arena before orientation, the University called the Department of Public Safety on us, threatening to arrest us for obstructing public walkways. Bring it, motherfuckers.

This is great! I particularly hate Markus as well. Even my liberal friends agree that he's completely biased and unremarkable. Last semester (Fall 07) he as far as calling the Republicans Party, and conservatives in general, racist. (Continued…)

Every year, our friends at The Michigan Daily publish a "Best of Ann Arbor" list. And, don't get us wrong--there are a lot of great things about Ann Arbor--but as all too many seniors know, there are just as many daily hassles and annoyances we're glad to be rid of by the time we graduate.
