Founded in 1970, the group is the oldest environmental activism club on campus with a focus on environ- mental outreach and education. The goal of EnAct is to spread environmentalawarenessin avariety of ways and places, said LSA sopho- more Libby O'Connell, one of the leaders of EnAct. "(We want to) foster environ- mentally friendly attitudes and pro- mote activities on and off campus..." O'Connell said. "We take anyone who has any concern for the environment." LSA senior Dannie Miller, a mem- ber of EnAct, said the club's history is a major factor in its role on campus today. "Environmental action came out of the first Earth Day at U of M," Miller said. She added that EnAct is a vehicle for students with ideas about sus- tainability on campus to make them a reality. "One really important part of EnAct is that it's run by the people who participate," she said. Once a semester, club members organize a free market, in which they sell notebooks made from recycled cereal boxes and one-sided paper from the Fish Bowl in Angell Hall. Other events include environmen- tal service days called Hands on the Planet and Art on the Diag, an art show during National Environmental Week in April. O'Connell said the club's meetings are democratically organized and designed to encourage input from all members. "No pun intended, but we're all very down-to-Earth," O'Connell said. LSA senior Kyle Anderson, anoth- er EnAct member, said the club's presence provides an outlet for dis- cussion of environmental ethics and fun activities. "(EnAct is) an importantclub with good values, and I getto make change and have fun," Anderson said. - KATIE BURKE Newsroom 734-418-4110 opt.3 Corrections correctionenmichigandaily.com Arts Section arts@michigandaily.com Sports Section sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales display@michigandaily.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com News Tips newso@michigandaily.com Leters to hetEditor tothedaily@michigandaily.com Editorial Page opinion@michigandaily.com Photography Section photo@michigandaily.com Classified Sales classified@michigandaily.com Finance finance@michigandaily.com LSA freshman Benjamin Palevsky works on a final project in UMMA yesterday.

Hannah, who previously worked as the wine director at Vinology on Main Street and was an employee of Zingerman's Deli- catessen, stressed the mission of the market isn't simply to provide food to customers, but to provide a culinary experience. "We want to sell food that enhances people's lives - not only the people who consume it but also the people who make it," Hannah said. "All these products have histories and stories, and there's a romance to them and we want people to know that" Cards placed in front of each item in the store will detail why a product was selected for the mar- ket and what the item is, Hannah explained. The cards will fea- ture the signature script of Dave Lafave, the local artist respon- sible for the design of babo. Lafave, who previously worked at Selo/Shevel Gallery on Main Street, employs only repurposed goods in his chic, rustic designs and shops locally at reclamation centers in Detroit. "Everything thatI find literally comes out of the garbage," Lafave said. "I clean it up, brush it down, sand it, paint it white, paint it some crazy color and implement (the item) somehow into the lay- out of the store." Lafave will also paint and decorate the full-length window displays in babo every 30 days to represent a seasonal theme or the introduction of a new product in the market - currently, a holi- day theme graces its panes. He said he plans to keep the market's appearance as fresh on the out- side as the products within. "Sometimes a window might sort of speak to the color or shape of the package a product comes in or if the product adds itself to a theme," Lafave said. "We never want to go stale with our visual image on the street." Lelcaj said Lefave's knack for reusing and repurposing has extended to the rest of the mar- ket, from appliances to the fur- niture. Wood, which softens the industrial look throughout the store, was restored from a barn that burned down. "Everything is repurposed, and we found really creative peo- ple to help build out the space," Lelcaj said. "We've been consci- entious of our carbon footprint when working with the space and selecting Energy Star equipment and reusing and repurposing as many things as possible." Energy-efficient equipment will be used to create prepared foods, which patrons can eat at babo, take to go or order through a catering service, Hannah said. Lelcaj added the dishes, made in hodse by chefs in an open kitchen, will vary depending on the food in season and will include mostly ingredients from the market itself in a diverse way. Chefs will join customers in the market as they select prod- ucts to include in dishes, Lelcaj said. Customers will also receive recipe cards with their dishes, allowing patrons to return to the market and buy the ingredients to make their own rendition of a babo meal. Customers can dine in at a community high-top table, which also stems from Lafave's integra- tion of repurposed goods in the market. The table, which seats 20 people, is made of two 125-year- old refurbished doors found atthe Reclamation Center in Detroit. Inspired by the markets of Lon- don and other big cities, Hannah said he hopes the communal table will help bring patrons together in their experiences at babo. "You're going to be eating with people you don't know, breaking bread and sharing wine," Hannah said. "And I think that's the fun part." Patrons can break bread in babo seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and the market will serve prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner, according to Lelcaj. A beer and wine department will also be available after the market secures a liquor license. While the food and experience bab will offer are distinctive, Hannah said the true character of babo lies in the face of the market - the full-length windows look- ing out onto Washington Street. "I think when it's all said and done, the most unique thing about the market are these windows," Hannah said. "Most times you walk into a market and you walk from sunshine into a dark place that's fluores- cent lighting, and here, it's part of the street." 6 6 MISHA JAPARIDZE/AP Opposition demonstrators carry flares as they walk along a main thoroughfare during protests yesterday against alleged vote rigging in Russia's parliamentary elections in Moscow, Russia. Moscow erupts in violence as po ice clash with protesters "i WHAT'S BETTER THAN RATEMYPROFESSORS.COM? WWW.MAIZEANDBLUEREVIEW.COM FIND OUT WHICH PROFESSORS GAVE THE MOST A'S AND REVIEW COURSE EVALUATIONS Sponsored by The Michigan Daily Demonstrators continue protesting Putin election fraud MOSCOW (AP) - Police clashed with demonstrators pro- testing alleged election fraud in Moscow and at least two other major Russian cities yesterday as anger boiled over against strong- man Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and his United Russia party. At least 250 people were detained by police at a protest in downtown Moscow that included flare-type fireworks thrown at a group of pro-Kremlin youth, said city police spokesman Maxim Kolosvetov. Russian news agencies report- ed about 200 were arrested at a similar attempt to hold anunsanc- tioned rally in St. Petersburg and another 25 in the southern city of Rostov-on-Don. The Moscow pro- test ended after around 3 1/2 hours and the others were broken up by police. It was the second consecutive night of large protests in Moscow and St. Petersburg, an unusually sustained show of indignation as Russian police routinely crack down hard on unauthorized ral- lies, and protesters generally take time to regroup for a new attempt. The demonstrations follow Sunday's parliamentary election, in which United Russia lost a large share of the seats it had held in the State Duma. The party maintains a reduced majority, but opponents say even that came because of vote fraud. Local and international election observers reported widespread ballot-stuffing and irregularities in the vote count. The protesters appear to be both angered by the reported fraud and energized by the vote's show of declining support for Putin and his party, which has strongly overshadowed all other political forces in Russia for the past dozenyears. But pro-Kremlin supporters also put on a pair of large rallies in Moscow, attracting thousands and showing vehement divisions in Russian society. The Moscow protest demon- strated the violent potential of those divisions. Several hundred young men with emblems of United Russia and its youth wing had gathered with police at Triumphal Square in the city center ahead of the planned opposition rally. Police waded into several groups of oppo- sition supporters, pushing them away from the square - roughly grabbing many and throwing them into police vehicles. Detain- ees included prominent opposition leaders Boris Nemtsov and Edu- ard Limonov, but Russian news reports said both were released from custody late yesterday. After the protesters were pushed back, they and govern- ment supporters shouted at each other - "Shame, shame" was the call from the opposition, while the others, some of whom beat drums, shouted "Putin victory." Members of the pro-authorities group gravi- tated toward the nearby Tchai- kovsky Concert Hall, continuing to chant and bang drums. Then at least two flare-type fireworks were thrown into their midst. It was unclear who threw the devices or if anyone was injured. The confrontation lasted more than three hours before pro-gov- ernment youth began leaving the area. About a half-mile away, around 100 demonstrators chanting against Putin held a short march from the U.S. Embassy toward the Russian White House, but scattered when police arrived in buses. I0* A
