"The Catcher Was a Spy" (Director: Ben Lewin, 2018): Friday, June 22, TBA, Michigan Theater

In the midst of World War II, major league catcher Moe Berg (Paul Rudd) is drafted to join a new team: the Office of Security Services (the precursor to the CIA). No ordinary ballplayer, the erudite, Jewish Ivy League graduate speaks nine languages and is a regular guest on a popular TV quiz show. Despite his celebrity, Berg is an enigma – a closeted gay man with a knack for keeping secrets. The novice spy is quickly trained and sent into the field to stop German scientist Werner Heisenberg before he can build an atomic bomb for the Nazis.

Summer Sings - Beethoven's "Mass in C": Monday, June 25, 7 p.m., Hill Auditorium

All singers are welcome to these popular choral reading sessions that take place three times each summer.

The UMS Choral Union invites you to take part in its 25th season of Summer Sings. Just come as you are to these no-audition, no-performance evenings of memorable music-making.

As many as 250 singers from southeastern Michigan, northern Ohio, and Canada have joined each session in singing through great choral repertoire with some of the nation’s most respected choral conductors and outstanding soloists. UMS rehearses portions of the score during the first half, break for refreshments, and then re-convenes to sing through the entire work.

Note: if you are bringing your own score, we recommend the Kalmus edition. If you do not have a score, one will be provided to you for the evening as part of your registration fee.

Admission to each session costs only $5­—less than a ticket to the movies!—­and UMS will provide the musical scores (if you need to borrow) and refreshments. Auditors are welcome to attend at no charge.

Research Assistants Sought for Project Studying Contentious Elections in Germany: Wednesday, August 1 (Application Deadline)

One of our former students is now a graduate student in Political Science here at Michigan, and he is seeking a research assistant (Fall/Winter).  Below is his request:

"I am seeking applicants to assist me in completing a project related to disputed parliamentary elections in Germany. This includes assembling a dataset chronicling every election dispute submitted to the Bundestag between 1949 and 2017. These disputes are filed by citizens and describe issues that they encountered during the electoral process, such as voter registration issues, absentee ballot issues, issues at the polling place, problems with the registration of a political party, etc. The issues described by citizens and political parties in the documents produced by the Bundestag provide deep insight into the electoral landscape of Germany since 1949, and how the electoral system and citizens’ grievances with that system have developed over that time period.

In order to turn the documents that describe these disputes into a dataset, I am in the process of labeling each complaint submitted in each electoral period and it is this labeling process with which applicants would be providing assistance. Each dispute is labeled according to the nature of the problem alleged therein, as well as the location of the person making the complaint. This is done by thoroughly reading each complaint and then marking the complaint in the database according to the issues the citizen describes. Due to the jargon-rich, complex source material, applicants’ German level should be in the B2 range or higher. I am offering course credit through POLSCI 383 (1-3 credits). Due to the flexible nature of the weekly schedule of the course, this opportunity is ideal for students with scheduling conflicts that can make enrolling in classes difficult. Additionally, the type of research you will be doing will provide you with valuable experience if you are potentially interested in applying to graduate school.

The project will extend through the Fall and Winter semesters. Weekly expectations in terms of hours worked will depend on the number of credits for which a student elects to take the class. The weekly schedule will consist of a one hour meeting with me and any other research assistants."

Please submit your name and a paragraph describing your interest in the project to Kalli Federhofer (kallimz@umich.edu) no later than August 1.
