The Big Push: The "power" of spring may be seen in these shoots pushing through the asphalt surface of The Ann Arbor News parking lot. The unidentified plants have broken through almost two inches of pavement in several places.

The Urge to Grow: A plant may appear to be a flimsy thing, but appearances often are deceiving. These little weeds burst through the two-inch blacktop pavement of the parking lot at the Ann Arbor News to win themselves a well-earned place in the sun. University botanists identified the plants as being of the genus polygonum, which includes a wide variety of common weeds, such as smartweed and knotweed.

Spring is here (officially, at least) and drag racing is one way to celebrate. A group of students at Huron High School organized a drag race and held it yesterday in the school parking lot. A large number of students and a few teachers participated in the "dead heat" start in which two cars or pick-up trucks at a time raced about one-eighth of a mile. All safety precautions were taken, according to Ruth Straight, a class principal. There were no mishaps. A follow-up contest for yesterday's winners is being planned in the near future.
