We know you’re all out of school, but we’re going to attempt to keep you abreast on Michigan news this summer with a new feature. Similar to Fresh Cream, Ripe Produce will feature local UMich news that’s “ripe for the reading.” Here are five summer stories you must read.

*  University of Michigan employee Kara Gavin appeared on Jeopardy last night. Too bad she came in last place.

*  Yesterday the Free Press reported that a UMich alum was snubbed for wearing a Muslim head scarf at a recent Barack Obama rally. Today the presidential hopeful called her to apologize.

*  Michigan's athletic director Bill Martin confirmed that the planned renovations to Michigan’s stadium are still on track.

*  In the late 70s, Rick Leach set a whopping twelve UMich football records. Today he joins thirteen other men entering the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame.

*  Kyle Clark, Portage Central High School’s star pitcher, verbally committed to joining UMich’s baseball program after he graduates in 2009. Expect him to be disowned by his Ohio State-loving father if he doesn’t change his mind.
