DP Day to be highlighted on Discovery Channel Students discuss success of 12th annual service day By CLAIRE GOSCICKI DailyStaffReporter After traveling to Detroit to clean up parks and gardens in the city last weekend, a group of students came together again last night to reflect on their service. About 25 students who were involved in the 12th annual Detroit Partnership Day, a ser- vice activity that aims to improve urban neighborhoods in the city, came together in Mason Hall to discuss the outcome of last Sat- urday's event. The participants expressed excitement that the their good deeds attracted the attention of producers from the Discovery Channel, which will include footage from the day in a three-part documentary. Participants reflected on the day's activities, which included cleaning schools and painting murals in the city, and spoke candidly about their experience in the city. Some said they had never been to Detroit before the DP Day. More than 1,000 students par- ticipated in the service day. Most students worked in teams in either the Southwest or Brightmoor neighborhoods of the city. After doing various service activities throughout the city, the day con- cluded with a rally at Detroit's Sto- epel Park on the Northwest side. The Detroit Partnership is one of three organizations that will be featured in the Discovery Channel documentary. Business senior Andrew Bahena, execu- tive director of the Detroit Part- nership, said in an interview last night that the documentary will premiere on the Discovery Chan- nel in August and will focus on social action. "(The Discovery Channel) is trying to bring awareness to things that have great potential to bring about positive change," Bahena said. Detroit's distinct economic sit- uation will add to the value of the documentary, he added. "Detroit is easily the most unique city in the country because it took the biggest fall, and coming out of it, people are acting in innovative ways," Bahe- na said. LSA junior Kaitlin Liroff, the education director for the Detroit Partnership, emphasized the value of having University students visit the city, especially since Ann Arbor and Detroit are so close in proximity. She dis- cussed how, compared to her two previous years participat- ing in the DP Day, this year there was a significant improvement in participants' composure and patience. "I thought it went . really smoothly," Liroff said during the discussion. "Even if things didn't go as planned, people were calm, cool and collected." Bahena discussed how one of the most exciting parts of this year's event was a visit from Lloyd Carr, former head coach of the Michigan football team. Par- ticipants bombarded Carr with photo requests, though he didn't seem to mind, Bahena said. The student panel shares their views on cultural identities at the University durin last night.

"In terms of the mindsets, the University is very diverse," Arm- strong said. "(It is) filled with individuals who are constantly trying to look for experiences outside their often personal com- munities." However, LSA senior Roder- ick Morrison, the other co-chair of H.E.A.D.S., said the University doesn't do enough to accommo- date its diverse population. "I would go as far as to say that the U of M accommodates for us, but it is not ... an authentic accommodation," Morrison said. Later, Morrison added that, "Diversity cannot be forced in an environment where you just place people with different iden- tities in a room." LSA senior Rachel May, presi- dentof Zeta Sigma Chi Multicul- tural Sorority, Inc., said though the University is diverse, people from different backgrounds often choose to remain within the comfort zone of the groups they identify with. "Despite our being a diverse campus, we're also very segre- gated," Maysaid duringthe panel discussion. "There are so many clubs and groups and organiza- tions for people to come together over their likenesses, but there's not eoough for people to come together about their differences." May illustrated this with a story about having to prove her Jewish identity ina conversation with another student. "After class one day I was talk- ing to a student, and I told her that I was Jewish," May said, adding that the student proceed- ed to ask if she was "really Jew- ish or kind of Jewish." May said she felt her religion was called into question because of her race. "I can't help but think that if I wasn't black, she wouldn't have asked me that question," May said. LSA junior Sarah Awad-Farid, who is a member of the Egyptian Student Association, said she it is difficult to find somewhere to pray during the day. However, once she finds a place, Awad- Farid said she still faces chal- lenges. "It is really uncomfortable praying in an open space, and you Y0 ERIN KIRKLAND/Daily g a discussion sponsored by H.E.A.D.S. don't want to make other people uncomfortable," she said. While some students said they feel the University doesn't entirely accommodate their beliefs, Kinesiology senior Dorian Shaw said as a member of the softball team that she felt the University was sometimes too accommodating just because she is an athlete. "Everythingthatyoudo is cen- tered around South Campus and the Athletic Department, which is really convenient," Shaw said. "But at the same time, it kind of cuts you off from the rest of cam- pus." Because of this feeling of sepa- ration, Shaw said she has some friends who refuse to wear Mich- iganathletic geartoclassbecause they would be recognized as a student-athlete. She added that classmates have talked to her and fellow athletes about having oth- ers do their work and not having to work as hard as other students. Interviewed after the panel, Stinson said the discussion pro- vided an important forum for an eclectic range of speakers to express their personal experi- ences and to listen to others. "This was an opportunity for everyone to be heard equally," Stinson said. A A
