Free Bagels!?

Common' students! You know you love 'em...that's right...free bagels, free Starbucks coffee, free hot chocolate and for all you non-coffee lovers, free tea. Don't worry, they even provide skim milk. It's Welcome Wednesdays and its happening at the Alumni Center here at the University of Michigan. Open to all students and all they can eat, the Alumni Center is offering these goodies each Wednesday from 8am-12pm for the rest of October and through to November 19th. The Alumni Center is located at the corner of Washington and Fletcher streets, next to the Michigan League and across from the MLB. Check out our report below!

Other newsy events that may interest you for the week:

-Hankerin' for some soccer spankerin'? The Michigan Woman's Soccer team will play their first game at the new University of Michigan Soccer Complex this Friday. They face Penn State at 4pm on the West Practice Field, followed by a Sunday game vs. Ohio State at noon at the West Practice Field.

-Ready to move out....next year? That's right, it's house hunting time. If you haven't already started looking for a place to live off-campus for next school year, it may be time to start looking now. Students are already vouching for residences despite laws in Ann Arbor restricting lease signings until December. So in case you've put no thought into this absolutely whatsoever, at least decide if you want to move. Looking for an ideal location and an ideal set of roommates may help matters later this semester when the competition for that house with a porch 5 minutes from class seems to be the most important thing on your list.

-Seniors, don't fret too much! After visiting the University of Michigan Law School for a speech on renewable energy sources two weeks ago, Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm signed into a law a package requiring electricity to come from more renewable energy sources. According to Granholm, the package will introduce more jobs in the renewable energy department.

Alright, that's all I've got for today. Keep watching Newsfeed on Monday and Wednesday nights, live at 10pm in the dorms and soon to be aired on Comcast's channel 22 at midnight.
