space for students," Caminker
wrote.
Caminker said in an inter-
view on Monday that the Law
School reached out to Universi-
ty Housing for additional space,
but the request was denied
because the University wanted
to reserve rooms for undergrad-
uate students.
Preliminary plans for the
renovations include instal-
lation of an updated fire
suppression system and ener-
gy-efficient appliances, as well
as the addition of single-person
bathrooms. Diane Nafranow-
icz, director of the Lawyers
Club, said the Lawyers Club
hopes to present the schematic
design for the project to the
University's Board of Regents
at their meeting next month, in
which she anticipates the board
will approve the plan.
Students and faculty respons-
es to the closing and renovation
plans are mixed, 'but Nafrano-
wicz said she expects the long-
term benefits of the closure will
be clear when the renovations
are complete.
"We have such an exciting
and vibrant campus in the Law
Quadrangle, especially with the
completion of South Hall, that
all I can predict is that people
will be thrilled about this," she
said.
Zearfoss said the Law School
fosters a sense of community
among faculty and students, and
the Lawyers Club serves as only
part of that.
"I think the Lawyers Club
plays a role in creating that,
but I don't think it's the begin-
ning and end of it," she said. "I
don't think that having it closed
for one year is going to create a
sense of disruption in our com-
munity at all."
Zearfoss said the closing
of the club could potentially
impact Law School admissions
with the decrease in housing
options, though she predicted
it ultimately would not impact
enrollment.
According to Zearfoss, the
Law School has sent informa-
tion about housing options, both
off-campus and in the Lawyers
Club, to admitted students with
their acceptance packages in
the past. This year, admitted
students will receive a similar
package, which will feature the
four buildings the Law School
has reserved, Zearfoss said.
Zearfoss said she appreci-
ated the importance of creating
a social environment for first-
year Law School students.
"We need to make it as easy
as possible for people to choose
to relocate from wherever they
currently are to come to Ann
Arbor, and providing a housing
option for at least some part of
that class is an important con-
sideration," she said.
LSA freshmen Ifham Ahmed
and Sipu Miah, residents of The
Forum - a Prime Student Hous-
ing property located at 726 S.
State Street - won't be able to
renew their leases for the 2012-
2013 school year.
They said Prime Student
Housing taped a notice to their
door about one month ago noti-
fying them that the Law School
reserved the building. Miah,
who has been living in the
apartment with three room-
mates since he came to the Uni-
versity, said the poster felt like
an eviction notice.
"We love this place," Miah
said. "We're situated over here.
It feels like home now, and the
fact that we're going to have to
leave and go somewhere else is
kind of disturbing."
In the days after receiving
the notice, Miah and Ahmed
said they were upset about the
decision since they hoped to
stay in the apartment for the
remainder of their time at the
University.
"If we could, we would sign
a four-year contract," Ahmed
said.
They said their anger sub-
sided after a few weeks, once
Prime Student Housing offered
to accommodate them in one of
the properties the Law School
did not reserve for next year.
Miah said the housing company
gave him and other residents
of The Forum "first dibs" on
leases in their other buildings
and waived many of the transfer
fees.
Prime Student Housing
declined to comment for this
article.
In the Lawyers Club's dining
hall yesterday, Abbott and first-
year Law School students Keith
Diggs, Nick Herrera and Peter
Keros discussed their concerns
about the incoming class of Law
students not having the oppor-
tunity to live in the Lawyers
Club.
Herrera said he doesn't antic-
ipate students missing "much
besides the short commute."
"I think they would miss a lot,
but to be fair, once this thing is
done it's going to be awesome,"
Diggs said.
MSA

resentatives will fill the seats of
representatives who had either
resigned or been removed for
missing too many meetings since
elections last March.
In an interview on Nov. 9, MSA
President DeAndree Watson said
he expected a 10 percent voter
turnout. Yesterday, Watson said
he was not discouraged by the low
turnout because it was the first
year that MSA hadn't held a full
election in the fall.
"I think they went pretty well
... but I'd like to see more in the
future," Watson said.
LSA-SG saw a 10 percent voter
turnout with 1,652 students vot-
ing in the fall election - a 2-per-
cent decrease from last year's
elections.
Last year, MSA, LSA-SG and
the University of Michigan Engi-
neering Council collaborated to
promote the fall 2010 student gov-
MARS
From Page 1A
Renno is also optimistic about
finding evidence of organic mate-
rial on Mars. He said the fact that
life can survive in inhospitable
conditions on Earth makes finding
water, or even microorganisms, on
Mars possible.
"In the Salar de Atacama in
Chile, one of the driest places on
Earth, there is a salt crust on the
surface, and below the salt crust
there are liquid droplets of saline
water that are teeming with bacte-
rial life," Atreya said.
As one of NASA's "strategic
ernment elections, resulting in a
10.2 percent turnout - an increase
from 8.9 percent in fall 2009.
Watson said he expects that the
turnout for MSA election in the
winter term will be higher. Stu-
dents will vote to elect the next
president and vice president of
MSA, a student representative for
the Department of Public Safety
Oversight Committee, MSA repre-
sentatives and representatives to
the student governments of their
respective schools or colleges.
"For this to be such a small elec-
tion, I'm not too surprised that we
didn't get the 10 percent," Watson
said. "I'm sure we'll see way over
10 percent at the nextelection,just
given its magnitude."
In an effort to encourage more
students to vote in the election,
MSA gave students who voted a
sticker for discounts at local busi-
nesses and free offerings at Mo Mo
Tea, Silvio's Pizza and Necto night
club.
Still, participation among grad-
uate students was anemic as Rack-
partners," the University is closely
tied to Mars research, Renno said.
And, according to Atreya, roughly
half of his students end up work-
ing at a NASA research center.
"We are one of the top engi-
neering schools in the country..."
Renno said. "(NASA representa-
tives) come here all the time to
recruit our students."
He added that the connection
between the University and NASA
is important not only for getting
students jobs after graduation, but
also for keeping students interest-
ed in science research.
"These missions are inspiring
our students to be excited about
science and technology ... they get
ham student Patrick O'Mahen, a
member of the Graduate Employ-
ees' Organization and a former
Michigan Daily columnist, was
the only candidate running for one
of 10 empty Rackham seats.
Though no Rackham repre-
sentatives were elected to MSA
before last week, Rackham Stu-
dent Government President
Michael Benson said thebody sent
representatives to MSA meetings
to advocate on behalf of graduate
students.
Benson said he expects two or
more Rackham representatives to
continue to attend MSA meetings
in the future.
Benson said MSA can be a
"forum to communicate" across
campus, but it is not always the
most effective outlet for graduate
students' concerns.
"MSA could potentially open
some doors, perhaps faster," Ben-
son said. "But I don't think much
is going to change" for graduate
student groups like the Graduate
Employees' Organization.
very excited when they know what
they're doing involves space explo-
ration and running experiments on
another planet," Renno said.
However, Atreya said federal
budget cuts could sever the ties
between the University and NASA.
"Michigan will remain compet-
itive just so long as NASA remains
competitive in this endeavor,"
Atreya said, "The present eco-
nomic climate threatens to slow
down NASA's plans for planetary
exploration in the future, includ-
ing the exploration of Mars. This
could result in an irrevocable loss
of cutting-edge technical and sci-
entific talent developed over sev-
eral decades in the U.S."
