01 2A - Thursday, April 15, 2010 MONDAY: In Other Ivory Towers The Michigan Daily - michigandailycom TUESDAY: Professor Profiles WEDNESDAY: TUSA:FRIDAY: Before You Were Here 'Cmps a Photos of the Week Reg istering transplant donors Created in the fall uf last year, Michigan Marruw fur Minorities is a student grnup luoking to increase bunt marruw registratiun amung minurity groups un campus. LSA junior Mahjabeen Siddiqui, a cure leader of MMM, said the group's gual is to raise awareness about the bunt marruw registry foundation, Be The Match- an urganizatiun created by the Natiunal Macmow Donor Prugram that already has nmure than 8 nmilliun poten- tial dunurs registered. Anyonec between the ages of 18 and 60 years, who meet establishcd health guide- lines can register In he a naurrow donur, accurding tu Be The Match. The reg- istratiun process invulves completing a health histury form and taking a cheek swab fur DNA analysis. There are inure than 10,000 medical patients every year in the United States in need ofa bune mar- row transplant, accurdingnuo a release by Be The Match. "Finding a match depends un huw rinse a patient's genes nmatch with (the genes of) anuther indi- vidual," Siddiqui wrute in an e-mail interview. "The best chance uf finding a persun with a rinse gene nmatch is within your uwn family ur with peuple who are frum yuur ethnicity." MMM will fucus next year un finding a larger audience uf hunt marruw donurs tu help patients with life-threatening diseases, Siddiqui said. Because the group is shifting its fucus to dunur recruitment, Sid- diqui added that MMM is currently in the prucess uf changing its name. "I would nut want uur urganizatiun tu be pur- trayed as if we are unly louk- lug fur minurities, because even Caucasians have a very difficult time in finding a match," Siddiqui wrute in the e-mail. "We initially started the urganizatiun, thinking that msinurities are in inure need since there are less minuri- ties registered within the registry," Siddiqui wrote. "Huwever, even though there are fewer minuri- ties registered, it's nut just nminurities that need help when it cumes tu finding a match." Siddiqui said MMM will focus next year un recruiting a large number uf students to vulunteer fur registry drives and to wurk with uther student gruups like the lucal chapter uf the Red Cruss. The -10 members that make up MMM have been invulved in bunt marruw registry drives at events like the UM vs. OSU Blood Bat- tie and an MSA-spunsured bluod drive, Siddiqui wrute in the e-mail. Siddiqui said she hupes that thruugh the group's effurts MMM can "give peuple who nted bunt mar- row transplants hupe that they'll find a match on the registry." - DAVID BUCCILLI Univesrity alumtC0 Kun Cho alurri and tugi neern gutniur Andrew Kultonw dancmyin a classroom in Masun Hall yesterday. 420 Maynard St. Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1327 www.michigandaily.com JACOB SMILOVITZ DAN NEWMPAN Editur in Chiuf Business Manaeer 738-647-3336 734-764-0518 amilovitz@rnichigandailytuom tnidbusintesas~gmaicom CONTACT INFORMATION Newsroom Officehuurs:Suu.-Thurs. 11axm.-2a.m. tutrections corrions@michigandaily.com letersluothe Idltor t othedaily@michigandaily.com, PhotugtaphytDepartment photogmichigandaity.com Arts Sectiun artspae@michigan~daityacom Editurial Pate opinion@mrichigandaily.com, Spurts Settion sports~michigandaily.comu DisplaylSales display@nmichian~daily.,tou tiassified Salts classifid@mkichiandaily.com OnlinelSales onlineads@michiandaily.comu Finance finance@michiandaily.com EDITORIAL STAFF Matt Aarunson MuagingtEditr aaronsoan@mich~iandailyacom lillian Berman Managing rNew tditor bermn~x@mich~igandaily.comx SEsNIO sREWSDTRaS:xicoe, , Ma llory'ones , Stphanie SteinbergKyle AtrISTAsNTNWSsETtu RtSylan Cini,sarryn Fizgrald,osp itelrman, Veronica Menaldi,AnnieTho, vn Thorsy, Eyn a ~Twigg Rachel Van Gilder EditoralrPagetEditrrvangilder@michiganrdaiy.om sSEORTRIAL. eAsEEDTORS: Biar laherEika naye,,Esily OrleyOaLaur Ryan Karile ManuginguSportt ditor kartje@michigandaily.com, SEIRStaRTuSEDutORS:NicoleAueach, Mark Barns, Gjon Juncaj, Chris ASSITNaseT SRSurE R:Mihalel lork, AlxHera, anPdge,aak Pyzik,Tm an,Amy Scarano JamieBluck oanagiugartt ditor blockt@michiganda~ilyacom SENIORAReTStEITRCaolyn larekia,AdreLan,JffSanford ASSITANT ARTnSETORuS:LahBrgin, Saron acbs, Ema Jk, Mik Kuntz, Kavi~hekhatandey Maxtuollins and photo@'iciandaiycom Sam Waists Managighttditors ASSITsAaNTHTEITORS: Aaron Augsburgr, Jak ro, aissra Mclai, Srah Squire and designt@m~ihiandaiycm Anna Lein-Zielinsksi ManagitngnDesignditors TrevrtCalerosMatazinertdiuor cateo@michigandaily.com Melanie Fried and copydesk@michigan~daily.com, Rachel Phillips Copy Chirfs BUSINESS STAFF Katieluozwiak Slsaaugr SALESFORCE MNAGER: Mlly ig Ryan Basinski ClassifiedManager Jason MahakianProductionuManagr Allison SantacreU Laout Manager Vivian LeeeFintncr Mtnager Brittany Morales CirculationsManager Brad Wiley Proec Cordinator The Michigan lairy(ISSN 07415967) is pblised Mndaytrough Fidaydurig thefall and wintr termsby studentsatthe Uivesity of Micigan.
