The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com YPSILANTI From page 1A "Knowing that I would only be here for a semester, I didn't want to sign a lease," she said. "That automatically reduced the options I had greatly." Mahabir found her apartment after searching Craigslist.com and Facebook.com's Marketplacp. She said she pays $350 a month for her half of a two-bedroom apartment in a complex with a pool, weight room and computer lab. Her rent also includes utilities. Mahabir said she likes her apartment but said she does not enjoy the daily drive to campus. She said she usually gives herself half an hour to commute to cam- pus. Once in Ann Arbor, she parks at a friend's apartment parking lot and then takes the Commuter North bus to campus. She also does notenjoy being on campus all day. "Now I'm gone all day until 11 (p.m.) sometimes," she said: "I feel like I'm trapped on campus a lot of the time because there are definitely times that I would like to leave, but I just can't." In addition, Mahabir said living in Ypsilanti could hurt her social life. "If people are really looking to be really involved on campus Or they want to be around their friends all the time, I guess you need to make the sacrifice and pay a -little bit more," she said. "For me it doesn't matter too much because it's my fifth year, and most of my friends have already graduated." - Daily News Editor Chris Herring contributed to this report. SURVIVORS From page 1A of Business' 41st annual McInally lecture. White, who earned a MBA from Ross in 2005, is a co-recipient of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize and co- founder of the Landmine Survivors Network. The organization, which has offices in six countries, provides landmine survivors with prosthetic limbs, jobs, and networking oppor- tunities. The network is based on peer-to-peer support, where fellow landmine survivors counsel other survivors. White's lecture, titled "Survivor- ship: Evolution ofAn Organization" detailed the core values ofthe Land- mine Survivors Network. Its goal is to, "train every survivor group in the world willing to listen." White urged his audience to break from the "victim mentality" in the world today. "Raise your hands if you want to survive," White told the crowd. Almost every hand went up in the auditorium. "How about thriving?" he asked. The audience raised their hands again. To explain his point, White pre- sented a list of mistakes people with a victim's mindset make including "living in the past" and "blaming others." White suggested five steps to thrive, "face the facts," "choose life," "reach out," "get moving," and "give back." Since starting the Landmine Survivors Network, White has been an outspoken supporter for a worldwide ban on the use of land- mines. According to the Landmine Survivors Network website, land- mines injure or kill about 18,000 people a year. Between 300,000 and 400,000 people are living with landmine related injures. The vast majority of these victims are civil- ians. The number may come as a sur- prise to Americans, White said, because wars are typically fought in other countries. White called landmines "weap- ons of mass destruction in slow motion." Soon White plans to rename the network Survivor Corps to reflect that the organization is expanding to include other victims like those of genocide or cancer. In an interview after the speech, White said he was optimistic about the political consciousness of stu- dents atthe University. "(Students) increasingly are get- ting involved as global citizens," he said. Thursday, November 8, 2007 - 7A White said both local and inter- national issues merit attention. "I would like to see Michigan students involved [on] both fronts," he said. Business school senior Dmi- try Gutin said White's lecture was "impressive," "motivational," and "inspirational." "He's definitely an eloquent speaker," Gutin said. White's speech was not without humor. "My leg is not growing back," White joked. "I am not a starfish." At the end of the lecture audi- ence members found small foam landmines under their seats. White said the souvenir could be used as a reminder to overcome life's obstacles - or as "stocking stuffers for your in-laws." - Charles Gregg-Geist contributed to this report. i-1 i , I. t II the michigan EXECUTIVE RENTAL.
