Founded this year by LSA sophomore Miranda Kahn, Cam- pus Chaos organizes impromptu comedic events across campus. The initial idea for the group was spurred from flash mob YouTube videos created by Improv Every- where, a New York acting compa- ny, Kahn said. Both groups are based on the idea of initiating seemingly ran- dom, yet previously organized, commotion in public . spaces. Kahn said elements of surprise and entertainment are the main focuses of the campus club, and the group enjoys keeping students guessing. "(Our goal) is creating happi- ness and joy in different and unex- pected places," Kahn said. In the future, Campus Chaos hopes to create interactive spec- tacles such as recreating scenes from "Ghostbusters" in the Sha- piro Undergraduate Library and holding a human petting zoo on the Diag, Kahn said. "We hope the events will be a fun and engaging time for stu- dents, and promote happiness throughout campus," Kahn said. She added that the club is open to students of all abilities and experience, not just theater majors or improvisational actors. ° Even professors can participate, Kahn said., LSA sophomore Jami Levin has been working to advertise the new club across campus with flyers, social media and digital advertise- ments, and said she's has attracted about 300 students thus far. The group's uniqueness comes - from its base in fun and light- heartedness, not academics or goals for the future, Levin said. n -; "It's fun to be doing something that's not for your resume and just do it so you meet new people and just have fun and laugh and brain-# storm," Levin said.

The goal of tuition equality is to allow undocumented students who have lived the majority of their lives in Michigan to be considered as in-state students and exempt them from the higher out-of-state tuition. Designating Michigan resi- dents who are undocumented as in-state students could have positive economic benefits for the state of Michigan because the University could produce more alumni who live and work in the state, Watson said. "(The) benefits go way beyond just the students," he said. Watson said he supports both the tuition equality and medical amnesty proposals due to their positive impact on the student body, adding that the medical amnesty program encourages students to make smart decisions. "(Medical Amnesty) is some- thing that has the potential to impact the entire student popula- tion," Watson said. "... If it saves one student's life, I think it's worthwhile" In addition to proposals about 800.ZRoview 1800-273-84391 PrinoetonReview.comn - -U . l?
