It's April Fool's Day, spring is in the air, and even "The Cube" is getting into the spirit.

The famous sculpture outside the University of Michigan's Fleming Administration Building, 503 Thompson St., is sporting brightly colored cloths today. So far, there's been no public claim of responsibility for the action.

According to the Bentley Historical Library, "The Cube" is the work of sculptor Bernard Rosenthal (U-M '35), and it weighs 2,300 pounds. It's designed to spin with even a slight push.
