NEWS The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - 7 MONOLOGUES Continued from page 1 The debate surrounding the casting decision sparked great interest within the community. But white women were not excluded. Engineering sophomore Chelsea Haughn, although white, stated in her bio that she was indeed a woman of color. The color: pink. "Pink is a delicate color. I am soft and shy and delicate," Haughn wrote, "But pink can also be strong and powerful." - Haughn was one of three women to introduce the production in an appropriately bold and unabashed- ly graphic discussion of the problem facing women today: finding their vaginas. The dilemma was picked up again in "The Vagina Workshop." LSA junior Jillian Walker recited a mono- logue from the perspective of a shy woman attending a workshop to help her locate the elusive organ. Lying on a mat, she and her fellow vagina hunters learned to reject societal taboos in order to discover happiness in their own bodies. Ultimately, the "Monologues" - sometimes decried for indecency and lewdness - are about teaching women to be comfortable in the bodies that so many are ashamed to talk about. Perhaps the perennial audience favorite, "My Angry Vagina," received a particularly wonderful, brash and fiery performance from Chang. Screaming at the audience, and surrounded by signs emblazoned with such mantras as "Lubricate or Die," Chang held the audience in hysterics with her frank and shock- ingly honest demands for vagina rights. But V-Day is about more than just comedy. In the poignant and emotionally devastating "Crooked Braid," a group of woman related stories of their mistreatment at the hands of their male partners on an Indian reservation. And perhaps it is this trend of continuing vio- lence against women that, more than anything else, makes "The Vagina Monologues" timely and essen- tial. V-Day, which stands for Vagina, Violence and Valentine's, asserts that women should be revered and adored - and that until violence against women becomes an anachronism, vaginas will continue to scream their anger. AUDITS Continued from page 1 sity audit found that.some professors had not filed paperwork explaining what they achieved during their sab- baticals. The sabbaticals had cost MSU more than $500,000. In an e-mail to Bebow, Boulus wrote that this might be "more of a paper- work filing issue than a real issue." "That's precisely why we have effective policies to ensure that fac- ulty research and other sabbatical outcomes are documented," Boulus wrote. "The vast majority of profes- sors are complying." Many of the problems Bebow criti- cized have already been fixed, Boulus said. .He cited an example of Michi- gan Technical University's audits. In the previous audit, done in 1993, auditors found 31 significant prob- lems in MTU's accounting. When auditors returned to MTU in 2005, they examined 17 of their 31 sug- gestions to see if the university had corrected them. All 17 had been rem- edied. "The cQhanges the auditors were asking for were minor in the scope of the whole audits," Peterson said. "I certainly do not think that univer- sities across the state have a lot of waste. The headline was very dra- matic, but the story just didn't back it up." Bebow remains confident in his story and said he thinks officials across the state appreciated it. "It seems odd if President Coleman took the time and energy out of her very busy schedule to slander a jour- nalist over a story that didn't even deal with the main campus she gov- erns," he said. the michigan daily CORNER HOUSE APARTMENTS 205 S.

According to Sicheneder, some of the work will be contracted to pri- vate companies, which will amount to a cost of $3 million alone. Containing the infestation in all of southeast Mich- igan would cost about $100 billion. Exactly how the beetle reached the United States is unclear. It was first found in southeastern Michigan in the summer of 2002. Since then, it has been spotted in Ohio, Indiana and even Windsor, Ontario according to emeraldashborer.info - a website created by Ohio, Michi- gan and Indiana to provide up-to-date information. According to David Cappaert, a researcher at Michigan State Univer- sity who studies the beetles, there are two possibilities. The first is that it arrived here from ship waste in Canton Township. The second is the Detroit Metro air- port. Cappaert said the insect might have been introduced in the U.S. multi- ple times, and the reason for this infes- tation is "just a statistics game." Once the beetle took hold in the United States, it spread through fire- wood and landscape trees, Cappaert said. Replanting plans entail using a wide variety of trees "so that if a new pest came we wouldn't lose a lot of our urban forest," Sicheneder said. The city plans on involving residents and civic groups in the replanting efforts. CAPS Continued from page 1 sis." and therefore wait several weeks for an appointment. "For a student to demand to be seen is an unrealistic expectation," said a Finding Voice member who preferred to remain anonymous. "One problem with students who are dealing with mental illness is that there is a lot of shame and guilt." The member said, "It's hard to know that you are in crisis, and the language doesn't define what a 'crisis' is." Sevig said some centers use staff to determine what constitutes an "emer- gency" through an evaluation, but CAPS leaves the decision up to the stu- dent instead. Finding Voice President Mark Ter- rell said the organization has been urg- ing CAPS to implement a system in which a counselor would briefly meet with every student filling out an appli- cation form in order to evaluate the urgency of the individual case. CAPS is restricted by a lack of resources, Sevig said. Terrell also complained that CAPS crisis counseling is restricted to busi- ness hours. "Most crises don't occur between 8 and 5 p.m.," Terrell said. Another potential deterrent for stu- dents seeking help is the informed con- sent agreement, which is printed on the back of the application form. The agreement could deter stu- dents from seeking psychological help because the form says regulatory boards in certain fields including law, medicine and government may "ask you to autho- rize disclosure" of CAPS records. Even if the student signs the agree- ment, the board seeking to obtain the records must get a second consent from the student in order to be granted the records, according to Vicki Hays, asso- ciate director of CAPS. This is a state-implemented policy. Only about 5 percent of studentssign the form, Hays said. Hays estimated there were 10 to 12 requests from boards to release infor- mation last semester. All CAPS records are destroyed after seven years, Hays said. Some students have questioned the types of issues CAPS focuses on. Ruelle said that CAPS "seems to be more concerned with academic and stress-related problems, and not so much with mental health problems." CAPS organizes 12 to 15 support groups on a variety of issues such as relationship problems and stress man- agement, Sevig said. But it was only a week ago, at the writing of Finding Voice, that CAPS created a support group for students with depression. "Depression is the number-one rea- son that students seek counseling,' Douce said. Stress and anxiety-related problems are the second, relationship problems are the third and family problems are the fourth. Although Sevig said CAPS is the primary place for students to seek psy- chological counseling, the University also operates a Depression Center that offers individual mental health assess- ments and counseling appointments. The center currently has a six- to eight-week wait for a first appoint- ft you've been served Daily Classifieds: serving the UofM community for hundreds upon hundreds or so years.. !!!
