"As it turned out, Bhavik had said the ot exact same thing to her." in After hours of deliberation on how to launch the business, Rob- cl erts said th decided on the name it Joy and Ra or, a play on words of bui the quote "Oh, Joy! Oh, Rapture!" from prominent Victorian-era playwrights Gilbert and Sullivan. Roberts explained that the cards, which are sold online for four dollars each plus shipping, feature mainly science-themed jokes. "We wanted to come up with something that was either dino- saur-related or funny or science- related somehow," Roberts said. He explained that Joy and Rap- tor is self-sustaining and only hopes to break even, as money isn't what's important to the owners. "If something makes us laugh and smile, we bet it will make someone else laugh and smile too," he said. Joy and Raptor prints its cards at Kolossos Printing in Ann Arbor because the company hopes to support other local business, Roberts said. He added that the owners are thinking ofexpanding their business by selling the cards to local vendors. "I think we're going to try to reach out to museums, starting in Ann Arbor, and at least send- ing sample packages around the country," Roberts said. Lathia, who handles most of the business aspects of Joy and Raptor, said the three co-founders pride themselves for being based in Michigan. "While this is an online busi- ness, it's very much a Michigan business, and we're very proud of that fact," Lathia said. :Ss. "An internal r ?View is still nderway, and weare confident at the interval review will nswer a lot of the questions that eople are asking and that we're sking ourselves," Fitzgerald id. "We hope to find answers oon." Preliminary recommenda- ons from the internal review btained by The Michigan Daily ote there was "not a clear line of sponsibility for investigating se case," adding that the hospi- l's general counsel had initially viewed the case and decided ot to pursue it due to lack of suf- cient evidence. The report also noted that ospital security did not log se incident into the database shares with the Department f Public Safety. If it had, DPS ould have been made aware of e incident. DPS declined to comment n the incident and referred all quiriesto the University's Office FPublic Affairs. The preliminary document so states that UMHS Medical enter Information Technol- gy staff reviewed the comput- 's internal log, but it notes that [CIT staff members don't have re proper equipment to conduct "it was wonderful to have rved and I think (the Univer- ty) is being left in even better ape," Taylor said. Taylor added that he is adorsing Diggs in the upcom- g election. He said since medi- l research and academics are prominent at the University, 's important to elect someone om the field. "I think it's long overdue that e have a medical doctor on ie board," he said. " ... There's huge change coming in the edical field and it's critical that e get it right because if ever e health affairs of the hospi- Il started going in the wrong rection, it could reflect on the stire University." Taylor added that the most nportant thing for future gents to strive for is maintain- g affordability of the Univer- ty for its students. Maynard, also a Democratic gent elected in 1996, said she stepping down from the board become more involved in her ork in the community. She rrently serves as president F Michigan Prospect, an orga- zation that seeks to promote immunity development and cilitate government-citizen teraction. Maynard said she is satisfied ith her accomplishments as a a forensic investigation of a com- puter. And therefore they weren't able to retrieve "other relevant information." The preliminary review offered four recommendations that are currently being con- sidered, including creation of a common protocol for reporting breaches of security that arise on campus, regular logging of potential crimes in the data- base shared by hospital scurity and DPS, development of joint training exercises between DPS and Hospital Security and the referring of all future computer forensic cases to DPS. Ora Pescovitz, the University's executive vice president for medi- cal affairs, wrote a blog post on Jan. 30 about the issue and wrote that she is a proponent for collab- oration in thorough examination of the case. "It is our collective respon- sibility to be diligent in report- ing behaviors and actions that are inappropriate, and that we applaud and support those who have the courage to do so," Pesco- vitz wrote. "It isn't always easy to speak up, but it is always the right thing to do. And it is my and all leadership's responsibility to thoroughly and timely investigate reported concerns." regent. "I have tried to be true to my values and support the adminis- tration, the faculty and the stu- dents," she said. "That doesn't always mean you agree with them, but it does mean that you support the job they do." Maynard added she was proud to be involved in the hir- ing of University President Mary Sue Coleman to her current post in 2002. "I think she has bqen an amazing president," M'anard said.} Maynard said she )hopes future regents work together to improve the state of the Univer- sity. In the upcoming election, she said she is endorsing Cherry because she believes Cherry's knowledge about higher educa- tion is important for the posi- tion. "He understands higher edu- cation and the value of not just the Ann Arbor campus, but also the two regional campuses," she said. Ultimately, Maynard said she will miss the experiences she has had as a regent. "There are so many exciting people ... that are so bright and add so much value that it has always been such a rewarding experience. I'm going to miss that." MFORWARD From Page 1A sentative Kevin Mersol-Barg, LSA Assembly Representative Omar Hashwi and College of Engi- neering Assembly Representa- tive Crissie Zuchora also ran for MForward's nomination. While only one nominee was able to emerge as the candidate for MForward, Walser said the party remained united. "(The other nominees were) probably disappointed," Walser said. "But I think everyone recog- nizes Aditya is a great leader." Currently, none of the four other nominees will run for presi- dent with a different party. Singh said despite her personal loss, she is looking forward to Aditya's run for president. "Aditya will be a great choice for our presidential nominee," Singh said. "I think the nomi- nation process was very fair ... (MForward) selected a good can- didate." MForward Party Chairman Sean Walser said Sathi's strong victory is a sign of the party's strength. "The fact that he won a major- ity with five candidates is indica- tive of a broad base of support in the party and indicative of the great work Aditya has done," Walser said. The last two presidents of CSG, previously known as Michigan Student Assembly, have come from MForward, but this is the first time in MForward's two- year existence that more than one candidate went after the party's presidential nominee. Walser said the MForward candidate for vice president will be announced later this week, adding that the vice president may potentially be an individual outside of student government. Brendan Campbell, the CSG vice president, was the chair of the University's chapter of College Democrats before he became vice president, El-Kilani noted. Walser and the other mem- bers of Sathi's election team are currently unaware of any other candidates running for presi- dent, but they expect to face a candidate from the Defend Affir- mative Action Party and possibly a reprise of the ever-popular fic- tional candidate. Last year, the Every Three Weekly developed the fictional candidate Karlos Marks, who ran as a write-in candidate. While Marks did not receive as many votes as current CSG President DeAndree Watson, he did win several elections on campus. Walser said the Marks cam- paign showed a disconnect with students that MForward hope to overcome this year. "There are still students that we need to connect with and demonstrate why they should select an actual candidate for president," Walser said. "(We need to) demonstrate that CSG is actually doing a lot of great work." Though the election is almost two full months away, Robert Bowen, Sathi's campaign manag- er, said MForward will launch an extensive campaign. According to Bowen, students can expect that he and Sathi will be walk- ing through the residence halls, speaking to student leaders and campaigning on the Diag as a part of the campaign. Sathi said he began his college experience at Wayne State Uni- versity where he was also a mem- ber of student government. Upon running for the student senate at WSU, Sathi said he decided his plan to study medicine was no longer his dream. "I realized that I wanted to dedicate my life to service," Sathi said. "I had this moment where I realized I can't be pre-med." Sathi said he was a part of a program at WSU through which he received full tuition and was ensured acceptance into WSU's medical school before ultimately deciding the medical field was not in his plans. "It was hard to say no to that program," he said. Ultimately, Sathi said he believed a degree from the Uni- versity of Michigan would be the best way to fulfill his goals. He is majoring in political science, with a minor in community action from the School of Social Work. By the time Sathi decided to transfer, he was the student body vice president at WSU, a role he says is similar to his current post as vice speaker in the CSG assem- bly. With plans to transfer, Sathi decided to step down because it would be "unfair" for him to con- tinue serving while knowingthat he would not fulfill his term. Sathi instead returned to being a student senator for the remainder of his time at WSU. Monday, February 6, 2012 - 5A During his time at WSU, Sathi said he worked on programs that established a 24-hour library and improved lighting in neighbor- hoods around campus. Arriving at the University of Michigan for the winter 2011 term, Sathi quickly became involved with student govern- ment on campus, but said it was not particularly easy to secure a position. Sathi applied to fill an opening in the Student Assembly through LSA, but he was not selected. Instead of representing LSA in the Michigan Student Assem- bly, Sathi said he unknowingly became an associate representa- tive in LSA Student Government. "Little did I know that if you attend three meetings, you become an associate representa- tive and you have your own plac- ard," he said. Members of LSA Student Government encouraged him to attend MSA meetings, Sathi said. By March, Sathi ran with MFor- ward for the same seat for which he had unsuccessfully applied before. Being new on campus made the election difficult, but Sathi said he met this challenge head-on. "I was very interested and pas- sionate about being involved," he said. Sathi was elected a repre- sentative before serving as vice speaker of the CSG assembly. During his time on student gov- ernment at the University, Sathi has worked on several projects including ongoing attempts to bring medical amnesty to the campus and the promotion of more involvement with the Stu- dent Association of Michigan - a collaboration of student govern- ments from universities within the state that advocates for stu- dent issues. Sathi has also served as the recruitment director of MFor- ward and vice chair of the CSG External Relations Commission. As chair of the ERC, Walser is responsible for publicizing the election to students and also plans to be strongly involved in Sathi's campaign, adding that he will not let these two positions overlap. "I love working with the ERC stuff, but when I sit down for MForward stuff I work on MFor- ward," he said. "I don't want my work in ERC to be driven by my work in MForward or vice versa." Lathia added that there may be ore than just cards in the future, entioningthe potential to devel- merchandise. "We would love to do a lot of her things (like) screen print- g, T-shirts," Lathia said Since the business launched ose to Valentine's Day, many of s cards are romantically themed, it the business plans to "branch out," according to Lathia. Long also said she hopes Joy and Raptor will be sustainable as a long-term project, adding that the business allows her to express her creative side. "We're all into dinosaurs, we're all into biology, and we're all into nerdy things like that," Long said. "We're all into design and making cool things." WANT TO WRITE FOR DAILY NEWS?
