The Michigan Daily - Monday, October 28, 2002 - 7A Chili, spirit gear fans up for Homecoming game By Whitney Meredith For the Daily Despite the drizzly weather and soggy grass, many gathered Saturday morning at the pre- game Homecoming Pep Rally featuring music, food and sprit-evoking speeches. Business School junior Niraj Patel said that the pep rally got him "pumped up to see foot- ball and excited to be a Michigan Wolverine." "I want homecoming to be a big effect on the school spirit," said Kristen Sarri, an LSA servit SMUDBOWL SeFor Continued from Page 1A of SA one of its two touchdowns. mud "The game is sloppy to say the the gE least, but it is all in good fun.

"We've had Posth Republicans for 12 years." propo Many of the speakers at the event raisin senior and co-director of the Student Alumni Council, which organized the event. She said the Student Alumni Council has been in charge of the pep rally for the last three years, and planning for this year started at the conclusion of Homecoming last year. During this planning, the Council made continuous adjustments to what was implicated. One major change this year was timing. Tra- ditionally the pep rally is held the Friday evening before the homecoming game on the Diag. But it was moved to Saturday on Elbel Field before the game in hopes of increasing attendance. But one council member said he was disap- pointed with the lower than expected atten- dance. "I'm a little disappointed with the school spirit." In hopes of invoking school spirit, the pep rally featured performances by the Women's Cheer Club, the Rhythm Tap Ensemble, Super- fans as well as the annual Gamma Phi Beta Chili Cook-off. "It's neat to have shows of student groups, and to see what different organizations do," Engineering junior Carolyn Wineland said. A number of fraternities and sororities par- ticipated in the Gamma Phi Beta Chili Cook- off. In a change from previous years, it was opened to non-Greek organizations as well. There was a $50 registration fee and only nachos and bread were provided. Each organi- zation gathered their own ingredients and pre- pared the chili from their own recipe. "I like how you get to sample different chilis from every house. It's a good variety," LSA senior Traci Buchalskik stated. All profits traditionally go to charity, and this year's benefited Campfire U.S.A., an organiza- tion that gives the opportunity for underprivi- leged children to go to camp. Melissa Orban, an LSA senior and head of Gamma Phi Beta's Chili Cook-off planning committee, said that they expected to make around $1,000.

Stephen Director, Engineering Dean, commented on the location and design of Indexer II and praised the efforts of Class of 1950 donors for bringing the sculpture to the Universi- ty community. "Indexer II is so well designed and appropriately placed," Director said. "This would not have been possible without the support of the alumni donors." Administrators, class of 1950 alums and family, faculty and students gath- ered to witness the dedication and hear Snelson speak about the concepts behind many of his sculptures that can be seen around the world. Dean of the School of Art and Design, Bryan Rogers, introduced Snelson in a lecture following the ded- ication, by describing the process of inspecting nature in both art and sci- ence. "Sculptors starting with their vener- able chiseling away and humps of stone and often trying to immortalize an image along the way expanded the chiseling tradition and joined in exam- ining the legal framework of nature, not unlike what scientists and engi- neers do," Rogers said. Through a series of slides, Snel- son presented his major works and the development of the principle tensegrity. "I have been interested in the nature of structure over these many years," Snelson said. "By stacking weights, I realized they could successfully sup- port everything above and it would move like a spinal column. You could support two solid members with sim- ply tension members." By analyzing the structural theories behind his sculptures, Snelson showed the importance of engineering and sci- ence in sculpture. The Indexer II, which was created in 2001, adds to the collection of sculptures on North Campus and shows the combination of three disci- plines - art, architecture and engi- neering - present on North Campus. The class of 1931 also gave back to campus, awarding 20 scholarships to current Engineering students. The scholarship program began in 1978 and now contains approximately $3 million. After an applicant receives a scholarship, which comes in the amount of $8,000, it is renewed for the rest of their college career, given that they continue to take a full course load and keep their grade point average above 3.25. Several students attending the din- ner said they were inspired by the sto- ries and accomplishments of the alum. "It's just amazing hearing the class of '31 talk," Engineering senior and scholarship winner Megan Flynn said. "It's just really inspiring and makes me want to be an engineer all over again." "When I was six or seven years old, a distant relative came to visit and he was a civil engineer, and so I decided to be a civil engineer, for no reason other than that," said Streeter, who came to the University from Marcellus. "I was raised in a very small town. I didn't know any engineers. It just sounded glamorous and nothing ever changed my mind," he added. After graduation, Streeter worked on the Hoover Dam and was a profes- sor at the Illinois Institute of Technol- ogy before returning to Ann Arbor as a civil engineering professor. "I love the place. It's a great school, great conditions," said Streeter, who is almost 93 years old. At one point in time, he worked for Dietle, who owns an engineering con- sulting firm. "I'll tell you, my family wanted me to become a doctor, but I read about the building of the Panama Canal. One man did so much for a lot of people over so many years, and so I decided that I could do more as an engineer," Dietle said. Anderson, identifying with Univer- sity students, recalled the Michigan football games he attended and the battles he had with his landlords. A 20-watt bulb caused an uproar between him and his landlord, who he described as a "real tightwad." After he and his roommate requested a high- er wattage bulb and his landlord refused, they took matters into their own hands, burning the bulb out pur- posefully and then taking it to Detroit Edison, which replaced it for free with a 60-watt bulb. "We had the 20-watt bulbs, but they had to be burned out or no deal. Well, my radio set had 300 watts of power. It burnt out in a hurry," he said, adding that the landlord removed the 60-watt bulb and replaced it with another 20- watt bulb. "We just went through the process again and again." The class has an annual dinner, which along with being a homecom- ing event, also serves as a chance for generations of University engineers to tell their tales and learn from their elders. "My years have carried me all over the damn world. I've done a lot of things and met a lot of people," Dietle said. ISLAM Continued from Page 1A He added that since much of the media portrayal of Islam and Mus- lims is distorted, it is even more important that Islam Awareness Week exist both to teach non-Mus- lims about the basic concepts of Islam and also to show that Islam is about peace. Engineering junior Shuaib Mirza, also a Muslim Student Association member, stressed that Islam means peace and has been a peaceful and tolerant religion looking back through history. "If you look at Islamic history you'll find that Islam has been very tolerant to all the religions it has governed and it's probably the most tolerant to all religions ... nobody mentions that," he said. Mirza added he hopes people take away from the week a sound under- standing of Islam. "Just to have a knowledge of a religion that is the second largest religion in the world and that their fellow students follow - they have friends that are Muslim, they deal with Muslims everyday, so they should have a sound knowledge in who we are and what we believe and our motivations," he said. The first Islam Awareness Week was organized in 1994 and held on campuses around the country, with the goal of providing information regarding Islam's message and way of life while clearing up possible misconceptions. IRAQ Continued from Page 1A we want to stop terrorism, we really need to address the injustices in the world. It breeds hatred." There seemed to be a variety of different reasons for protesting the war. "This is to support the Iraqi peo- ple. It's important for Muslims to support Iraqi people," Ann Arbor resident Mahmoud Habeel said. "From my side it's obvious there are two reasons for fighting Iraq - oil and long-term protection of Israel." Aladin Abraham, who attended the rally with Habeel, added, "When it comes to the Mid-East, the capital isn't Washington, it's Tel-Aviv." There were a plethora of speakers and performers including Congress- woman Lynn Rivers (D-Ann Arbor) and members of the band Funktelli- gence. "I stand for peace rather than war," Rivers said. "Will I stand for spending $200 billion on this folly or will I use that money to educate the American people?" When everything was said and done, the organizers said they felt satisfied with attendance, conduct and impact of the march. They stressed the impetus for the march didn't come from them, but the community. "People who were'not activists themselves were calling us and ask- ing if we were going to march," Camino said. "This tells me that we have a large mainstream base." the michigan daily EARLY CHILDHOOD SUBSTITUTES TUTOR FOR H.S. Spanish. Drive to our A2 ST.
