Here are some excerpts from a conversation with United States Senator Carl Levin concerning HIRE legislation currently making it’s way through Congress. The legislation is in at least two parts with one section moving through the U.S. Senate and the other being considered in the House of Representatives. The legislation is a combination of incentives and funding programs to get unemployed workers back on the job.
April Lindala, Director of the Center For Native American Studies at Northern Michigan University joined us to give us an update on events and activities going on this weekend at NMU being put on by the Native American Student Association. Comedian Don Burnstick, a Canadian First Nations comic is performing at NMU on Friday evening and the 18th Annual ‘Learning to Walk Together’ Traditional Pow Wow is being held on Saturday. Both events are being held at the Vandament Arena on Campus.

The Redmen faced Alpena on Wednesday night with the Wildcats coming out on top 60 to 49. Keep it right here on 98.3 WRUP for all your Redmen and Redette basketball action.
The Redettes traveled to Traverse City to take on the Buccaneers of Grand Haven in Round One of the Regional finals.
Marquette kept up a minor lead throughout the first two quarters, going into the half with a score of 14-13. The second half would stay tight, with each team struggling to create a significant advantage. With only 3 minutes left in play Marquette capitalized on a couple of successful 3-pointers to start opening up the breathing room they needed.
