Packard Pub manager: Robinson shot
'most popular shot we've ever had'

From Page 1A
Bar & Grill, located at 3140 Packard
St., started calling one of its tequila
shots a "shoelace."
Will Banfield, owner of Banfield's
Bar & Grill, said he chose this spe-
cific shot to carry the Robinson con-
notation sinceitis180Oprooftequila.
"It doesn't take long to get a buzz
off that, and it doesn't take long for
Denard to get over the goal line,"

year term.
Both said their main goal
would be to lower current tuition
rates to make the University more
affordable for students.
Stephens, who unsuccessfully
ran for regent against Newman
and Richner in 2002, said New-
man reneged on her promise not
to vote to raise University tuition
when she ran eight years ago.
"One of my opponents at the
time made a vow that she would
never vote for a tuition increase
and at the very first opportunity
she did," Stephens said. "I went
on record saying I can't say I
would not (raise tuition). I would
not paint myself into acorner. She
took the other approach and she
broke that promise the very first
opportunity she had."
Stephens, the business man-
ager of the International Brother-
hood of Electrical Workers Local
252, said he would bring the per-
spective of middle-class voters to
the board.
"Middle-class families aren't
all Democratic and aren't all
Republican," Stephens said. "But
I believe that they all deserve a
fair shake as residents of the state
of Michigan. Those people are not
represented on that board."
Stephens continued by saying
that if elected, he could use his
professional experiences to help
the University reduce its con-
struction costs.
"Because I am a leader in the
construction industry, I know
that the University of Michi-
gan does a tremendous amount

Banfield said with a chuckle.
Every time Robinson scores a
touchdown during the game, the
bar puts a discounted price on the
shot, Banfield said.
Packard Pub has been featuring
its own "Denard Robinson" shot
since the Michigan football team
played its first game against the
University of Connecticut.
According to Manager Carl
Bommarito, ingredients like blue
of construction," Stephens said.
"Sn fact, they're the first larg-
est single customer in the state
of Michigan, second only to the
state itself, as far spending con-
struction dollars."
Stephens continued: "I know
that with my experience I can
create some savings just in that
area that can be used in other
areas."
Meanwhile, Brown, vice presi-
dent and head of the Michigan
Economic Development Corpo-
ration's Capital Markets group,
said he believes the regents need
to use funds from the University's
endowment to support decreases
in tuition and increases in finan-
cial aid disbursements.
Brown, who is also a University
alum, criticized the regents for
voting last July to decrease the
endowment's payout from 5 per-
cent to 4.5 percent.
"That's the exact wrong deci-
sion at the exact wrong time,"
Brown said. "The endowment has
many purposes, but one of them
is a rainy day fund. It's raining in
Michigan for families of students
and students."
Brown continued, "Now would
be the time to actually go deeper
into the principle and shift that
money to help students and their
tuition, not decrease it."
Brown also said consolidating
the number of University admin-
istrators could cut costs and make
lower tuition a reality.
"The liberal university admin-
istrators that put out the studies
condemning the ratio of CEO pay
to the average worker and how
that gap has increased in the U.S.
over time, as well as the compari-
son to Europe, well they need to

caracao, pineapple juice, vodka and
a secret ingredient are mixed to
form a maize and blue shot.
"(It's) probably the most popular
shot we've ever had here," Bom-
marito said.
The Denard Robinson shot is
sold at Packard Pub for $3 every
Saturday, and Bommarito said he
intends to continue the special
year-round.
David Root, general manager of
look in the mirror because the
exact same thing has happened in
academia," Brown said.
"Administrator pay has expo-
nentially increased and the
number of administrators has
exponentially increased," Brown
continued. "We need to puta stop
to it."
Brown and Stephens each said
they would work to ensure the
University is part of the economic
revitalization of the state.
"The University of Michigan
could be a leader in turning this
economy around," Stephens said.
"I believe the University can
partner with other organizations
across the state, leveraging the
vast knowledge and skill the Uni-
versity has to offer. They can lead
these organizations through this
difficult time and develop smart
partnerships."
Both candidates also empha-
sized their commitment to engag-
ing students.
"I graduated undergrad in '96,"
Brown said. "I would definitely
be the youngest member of the
Board of Regents. I received my
MBA just a couple of years ago, so
I understand the student perspec-
tive.
"I'm still paying off my student
loans. So, I think my proximity to
their experience will play a big
role in my understanding," he
added.
Stephens and Brown will
appear along side eight other
candidates - including Newman
and Richner - on the statewide
ballot Nov. 2. The two candidates
who garner the most votes will
assume their roles on the Board
of Regents in January.
In an interview with the Daily

the Brown Jug, said the Jug has no
immediate plans to name any food or
drink items after Robinson, though it
has named meals after past football
players once they graduated.
Currently, the Jug has sand-
wiches named after Michigan foot-
ball greats including John Navarre
and Chris Perry. If Robinson con-
tinues to be as popular as he is now,
Root said he too has a good shot at
Brown Jug food-fame.
last August, Newman, the senior
vice president of government
affairs at Delta Airlines and a
University alum, said she has a
number of goals she'd like to pur-
sue if re-elected to her third term
as a regent.
Specifically, Newman said
she'd seek to make major capital
improvements to the University's
Medical Campus, improve the
University's standing in national
and international rankings and
continue to pursue renovations
to various residence halls across
campus.
"We need to continue to update
and move the institution forward
to stay at the top of the pack,"
Newman said at the time. "I think
I can be helpful there because I've
seen us do it, and I know what it
takes to maintain excellence and
grow."
Richner, a third-generation
graduate of the University, told
the Daily in August that he would
seek a second term to continue
the work he has done throughout
the past eight years.
"These efforts include reduc-
ing the University's health care
and insurance costs, being more
deliberate in using and allocat-
ing space across the campus, pro-
moting energy efficiency, seeking
more disciplined budgeting from
the University's schools, colleges
and other business units and sell-
ing non-productive assets," Rich-
ner wrote in an e-mail interview
at the time. "We also helped lead
the most successful private fund-
raising campaign in the Univer-
sity's history."

human rights, Genser said the
organization exists in order to
help individuals who put their
lives at risk for the sake of world-
wide freedom, democracy and
human rights.
"The core of our mission is to
support you when your activities
put you in harm's way," Genser
said at the forum.
On Dec. 23, 2009, one year
after his detention, Liu was tried
for inciting subversion to state
power. One of the charges against
him involves his signing of the
Charter 08.
According to Freedom Now's
website, Liu's trial was in viola-
tion of international standards
for due process of law, as neither
his wife nor foreign diplomats or
correspondents were allowed to
observe the trial.
Liu was sentenced to 11 years
in prison and two years depriva-
tion of political rights for engag-
ing "in agitation activities, such as
spreading of rumors and defam-
ing of the government, aimed at
subversion of the state and over-
throwing the socialism system in
recent years," according to Free-
dom Now press releases from Oct.
10 and 13.
Beth Schwanke, University
Law School alum and legislative
counsel for Freedom Now, said
Liu is serving this 11-year sen-
tence for inciting state subver-
sion mainly for his role in drafting
the charter. Charter 08 called
for increased rule of law, greater
respect for human rights and an
end to one-party rule in China.
"He has quite literally been
imprisoned for exercising his
freedom of expression," Schwan-
ke said in a phone interview.
Freedom Now is focusing on
drawing as much international
attention to the issue as possible
and trying to motivate world
leaders to call for Liu's release,

according to Schwanke.
"Well, in this instance, China is
breaching its own domestic laws
as well as international laws, so I
think that world leaders need to
call on (Chinese) President Hu to
immediately release Liu Xiaobo
from his unjust imprisonment ...,"
Schwanke said. "We'll also be fil-
ing a case before the U.N. Work-
ing Group on Arbitrary Detention
shortly."
As soon as the prize announce-
ment was made, Liu Xiaobo's
wife, Liu Xia, and many of the
couple's friends and supporters
were placed under de facto house
arrest, according to an Oct. 13
Freedom Now press release. Liu
Xia was escorted to the prison to
inform Liu Xiaobo that he won
the Nobel Peace Prize and was
immediately escorted back to
their Beijing apartment.
Liu Xia still remains detained
today and her communication
with the outside world has been
minimal. Chinese government
security agents are in and sur-
rounding the apartment.
According to an Oct. 8 New
York Times article, Liu is one of
three people to have received the
award while imprisoned by one's
own government.
A Chinese official had threat-
ened the Norwegian Committee
that relations between the two
countries would be strained as
a result of its awarding Liu the
Nobel Peace Prize and its mem-
bers' chastisement of the Chinese
government when presenting the
award, according to the article.
Liu's receiving the Nobel Peace
Prize has been both productive
and counterproductive to Free-
dom Now's efforts, Schwanke
said.
"Obviously (winning the award
is)prettygood publicity," Schwan-
ke said. "(But given) the Chinese
government's initial reaction, you
know this is an extremely delicate
issue within China and so it's pos-
sible thatitwill make securinghis
release even more difficult."
