WOLV Correspondent Lauren Crossley Gets Physics-cal...
In 1995, the University of Michigan Department of Physics began sharing some of the latest ideas in the field with the public in the Saturday Morning Physics lecture series.
At the lecture, physicists discuss their work in easy-to-understand, non-technical terms. The lectures include multimedia presentations such as hands-on demonstrations of the principles discussed, along with slides, video, and computer simulations.
WOLV correspondent Lauren Crossley was up bright and early this past Saturday to check out the Saturday Morning Physics lecture herself in the Randall Laboratory on Church Street.

Hollywood Moves in On Campus
Filming for Rob Schneider and Jenna DeWan's new comedy, 'Virgin on Bourbon Street' kicked off on campus Tuesday afternoon.
U of M's Ingalls Mall, the space between the Modern Languages Building (MLB) and the League, was transformed into a full-on movie set, with a cast and crew of about 20.
Co-star Jenna DeWan was on set.
DeWan plays Priscilla White, a pure, clean-cut virgin who goes to college on scholarship from a sexual abstinence before marriage organization.
White's roommate, Naz (Brianne Davis) is a wild and crazy party girl who gets White into some trouble when she lures White into a night of debauchery that includes an appearance in a 'Girls Gone Wild'-like video.
The girls then attempt to track down the producer behind the film, the sleazy Crazy Ed, played by none other than Rob Schneider.
Filming for 'Virgin on Bourbon Street' took place earlier in the week in Downtown Detroit, and will wrap up within the next few days here in Ann Arbor.
The film, directed by Clare Kilner ('The Wedding Date'), is set to release sometime next spring/summer.
But for now...
WOLV correspondent Kaitlin Urka was on the scene tuesday afternoon to spot the action. Check it out!

Interview with Mayjor Hieftje
Hey, everybody! So I hope ya saw Newsfeed tonight -- it was really great! If ya happened to miss it, though, I've a bit of material from the episode coming your way right now. The following is an interview with Ann Arbor Mayor Mark Hieftje, who was just re-elected in a landslide, and will enter his fifth term in office next year. Enjoy!
Newsfeed In November
Well, you heard him, or maybe you didn't....If you didn't catch our weatherman, Dave, announcing the forecast for this week, well, you didn't miss much because all you have to do is look outside (or step outside), and you know...it's...officially...COLD. Yet, Newsfeed of course treks on and gathers all the stories you need to know about the University of Michigan, the local Ann Arbor area, and the rest of the nation and world.
As November rolls in, I have realized we have a wonderful Monday crew this semester. We have political correspondents such as Matt Dupree, Whitson Gordon, and of course, our lovely Emily Zimmerman, who save the day with their brilliant thinking on-the-go. Just tonight, Mr. Dupree saved the show by jumping in last second and presenting all he knows about what our President-Elect is up to on his road to the White House. We will soon post an interview Mr. Dupree conducted with the Mayor of Ann Arbor.
Last week, Monday Newsfeed did not air due to the 2008 Election coverage. As you see below, we posted our Election Newsfeed 2008 episode for you to enjoy. Also, last week yours truly traveled to New York City to take on the New York City Marathon 2008, the last of a series of major marathons ran in the United States during the fall season. I took my camera with me to check out all the hype about this 26.2 mile footrace. Check it out up top!
