INAUGURATION
From Page 1A
Nathaniel Eli Coats Styer said he's
just excited to be in the city when
Obama is sworn in.
"I don't have tickets to the inau-
guration, but just going down there
and being in the city is worth it,"
he said. "For me it was like there is
no way I couldn't go down to D.C.
because I put so much work into
(getting Obama elected) this fall."
No matter the hassle in attend-
ing the inauguration, Styer said he
believes that many students have
such strong support for Obama and
politics that they were willing to
make the trek to D.C.
"You sawthatkind of outpouring
election night when everyone went.
to the Diag," Styer said. "On that
night everyone knew they needed
to go to the Diag. (Today) everyone
knows they should be in DC."
But College Democrats aren't
the only ones making their way to
D.C. The NAACP bus left yesterday
at around 5 p.m. to take 47 students
to the inauguration. The group

charged $40 for members and $50
for non-members to ride the bus.
Andrea James, president of the
University's chapter of the NAACP,
said the group will only be staying
in D.C. for a day in order to mini-
mize costs by not staying ina hotel.
"We will be leaving around 7
p.m. and getting back to Ann Arbor
at about 5 a.m.," she said before the
group left last night. "It's kind of
turnaround trip."
Hotel rooms in the city - if there
are any left - have rates starting at
about $1,000.
The 50 students who are in
Washington, D.C. with Multi-
cultural Understanding through
Non-traditional Discovery Oppor-
tunities (MUNDO) understand the
difficulty of finding lodging in the
city. They're staying an hour and
a half outside of D.C. at the Marlu
Ridge Conference Retreat and Con-
ference Center, in Maryland.
LSA freshman Nina Idemudia,
a member of the group, said that
despite staying outside the city, the
group is excited to take part in the
atmosphere.
"It's awesome to be in a city with

so much support for Obama and
where everyone is all about change
and excited for the next four years
to come is inspiring and awesome,"
She said.
LSA senior Jason Emmendor-
fer said he went to D.C. with some
friends on a charter bus, not as part
of an organized trip. He said that
to keep costs down his group won't
be staying overnight, instead it will
be leaving D.C. at around 1 a.m. on
Wednesday morning.
"This was kind of a last minute
thing for us that we would be able
to go," he said. "I am so incredibly
excited that we are going to be right
-in the heart of D.C. when all of this
is going on."
LSA senior Justine Herron,
who is going to the inauguration
with her family, said she was lucky
enough to get tickets to the event
from a U.S. senator. She added
that she won't have to worry about
shelling out the money for a hotel
because her sister lives in D.C.
"We have tickets to the actual
inauguration, but there are five of
us and we only have four tickets,"
Herron said.

BOND
From Page 1A
race should not be considered
in remedying racial injustice is
ludicrous," he said. "There are no
non-racial remedies for remedying
racial discrimination.
Bond made particular reference
to the University, which was a
focal point in the debate over affir-
mative action earlier this decade.
"This school - and not this
school alone, but particularly this
school - stood up for justice and
equality when affirmative action
was challenged," he said.
WILMORE
From Page 1A
been for black people to break into
presidential politics and the pride
that corresponds with their advance-
mentsinthe past few decades.
Although Wilmore began his
speech talking about the impor-
tance of Obama's election and the
inauguration, the session slowly
drifted away from topics related
to Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and
focused more on Wilmore's per-
sonal career.
Wilmore first decided to enter
show business when the roof of his
house literally caved in.
"It's funny how having nothing
really prepares you for anything,"
he said.
Early in his career, Wilmore
began to do stand-up comedy
about race and politics, but he felt
the job didn't quite fit and decided
instead to write for television.
He said his first big break was
working on the show "In Living
Color." The most remarkable part
of working on the show, Wilmore
said, was that there was a predom-

Encouraging the audience to
continue working for social jus-
tice, Bond said that King did not
win civil rights victories on his
own.
"We must not forget that Dr.
King stood before, and with, thou-
sands," Bond said. "This movement
made Martin, Martin did not make
the movement."
Amie Snapke, an Ann Arbor,
elementary school teacher who
was at the event, said she plans to
use some of Bond's ideas to teach
civilrights historyto her students.
She said students are more inter-
ested in civil rights after Obama's
election.
inantly black staff.
"It really instilled pride in what
I was doing," he said. "White writ-
ers at the time had no problem get-
ting jobs on black shows, but it was
impossible for a black writer to get
a job on a white show."
From there, Wilmore moved
on to work for many well-known
shows, including "The Fresh
Prince of Bel-Air," "Sister, Sister"
and "The Jamie Foxx Show."
Wilmore said he then wanted
to take his career even further and
decided to stop being a staff writer
and start being a show writer. The
first show to credit him as a writer
was "The PJs."
"It was almost like the black
Simpsons," he said of "The PJs." "I
really wanted to do a black satiri-
cal show, I really felt that really
quite hadn't been done."
Wilmore then paired up with
Bernie Mac to create "The Bernie
Mac Show," which he character-
ized as a show with some realism.
Despite earning an Emmy for
the show, Fox Broadcasting Com-
pany fired him from "The Ber-
nie Mac Show" six months later
because of content disagreements.

"The kids are super-excited. It's
great to see the kids excited," she
said.
LSA senior Vanessa Andre said
she was glad Bond pushed people
to keep fighting for civil rights.
"He was saying that we're not
done yet," she said. "I think that's
probably the most important part.
of the whole speech, and we've got
to keep saying that."
Bond ended his speech by echo-
ing Obama's campaign slogan.
"Now we know we can, if only
we will."
John A. Weiss, Jr.
contributed to this report
After shortly writing for NBC,
Wilmore was contacted by "The
Daily Show with."
Duringthespeech,Wilmoresaid
that when he first started working
at "The Daily Show," he thought to
himself "Man, Iam home."
"It has been a destination that
was in the making from years
before." he said, "All the stuff I had
done, all the satire and politics and
racism really all came together in
'The Daily Show."'
After Wilmore spoke ofhis career
in television, he opened up the floor
for questions, which focused pri-
marily on his personal life.
After the event, several students
expressed displeasure about the
focus of the questions posed by
members of the audience, saying
they failed to address the issues at
the heart of the day.
"None of the questions were
really inspired by what this day is
about," said University alum Josh-
ua Ward.
"I wanted to ask him, 'Why
are you here on this day and what
does it mean to you?"' said Steph-
anie Somerman, a Public Policy
graduate student.

GRADUATION
From Page 1A
and was named the 14 wealthiest
American by Forbes Magazine.
Coleman described Page as a role
model for University students and
said she has been thinking of him as
a potential commencement speaker
for some time..

"I think he's just the epitome of
the kind of student that we pro-
duce at Michigan that goes on to
change the world," Coleman said.
Coleman added that she feltvery
fortunate to have Page delivering
the commencement address.
"It's incredibly wonderful," she
said. "The stars just aligned and we
were able to get on his calendar and
he thought it was just a wonderful

opportunity himself"
There is no word on what
Page will discuss in his address,
although when he delivered the
College of Engineering gradua-
tion address in 2005, he talked
about a broad range of issues,
including Google's mission and
innovation in the workplace, and
told students to save the world by
building their dreams.

CRISLER
From Page 1A
ketball coach, said in a statement
on Monday that the facility would
greatly enhance the University's
basketball program.
"Having our coaches' offices,
strength training, video theatre,;
training room and practice court
all connected to Crisler Arena will
only enhance student-athletes'
development and our efficiency as a

staff," he said.
In the same statement, Kevin
Borseth, the women's basketball
coach, echoed Beilein's comments.
"Thegoal ofourprogramis tocre-
ate an environment that will foster
what's best for the development of
the student-athlete and their suc-
cess, both on the court and in the
classroom," he said. "This facility,
and everything that it will bring to
our program, will help us achieve
those goals."
When.asked about the proposal,

Regent Julia Darlow declined to
comment, saying the proposal had
not yet been presented to the Board
of Regents. Darlow said she looks
forward to receiving the proposal
on Thursday.
Jickling Lyman Powell Associ-
ates, Inc., an architectural firm
out of Troy, will be responsible for
designing the facility. If the project
is approved Thursday, a schematic
design and construction schedule
will be presented to the regents at
a later time.

For Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2009
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
As the day wears on, you become
more and more excited about something.
You're very ambitious right now.
Perhaps a new plan will promote your
name and reputation in the right circles.
TAURUS
(April 20to May 20).
Something to do with publishing, the
media, travel, dealing with foreign coun-
tries and all things to do with education,
medicine and the law really turn your
crank today. You're putting a new spin
on things.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
Unexpected gifts and goodies might
fall in your lap today. It will be a surprise
and likely benefit you. (Nothing wrong
with that.)
CANCER
(June 21 to0July 22)
A disagreement or dispute with part-
ners and close friends might arise today
because you're determined to get your
way about something. You're very
excited. Remain reasonable.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
New technology or new contacts on
the job might give you a surprising
advantage today and in the future. Be
open to whatever is happening.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23to Sept. 22)
Unexpected flirtations and the begin-
ning of a new romance could make your
heart go pitter-patter. Others will be sur-
prised by pleasant news about sports or
children.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
You might make some surprising
changes at home today. Or perhaps a
family member will surprise you. Quite

likely, the introduction of new technol-
ogy will excite you.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
This is a powerful day for you if you
teach, act, promote, sell or rely on your
communication skills in any way. You're
aggressive and ambitious today!
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22to Dec. 21)
Your cash flow definitely jumps today.
Something unusual will happen. You
might find money; you might lose
money. You might see a new source of
earning money, or you might decide to
spend some on a major purchase.
CAPRICZ3RN
(Dec. 22 oJan. 19)
New ideas coming in from left field
are exciting. Be careful. A few surprises
will catch you off guard today. Stay
alert.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Some kind of secret might suddenly be
exposed today. It might involve you in
some way, perhaps because you discover
the secret or you're the subject of it.
(Oops.)
PISCES
(Feb. 19to March 20)
Meetings, conventions, conferences
and anything related to groups (espe-
cially sports) will take a surprising turn
today. Be ready to jump in either direc-
tion.
YOU BORN TODAY At times you're
so colorful, you're bigger than life!
You're also bighearted and generous
with loved ones. Although you have a
star quality about you, you're not always
comfortable being the leader. You pro-
tect your privacy. You work very hard to
accomplish whatever you attempt. This
year will be wonderfully social and
excellent for partnerships.
