For 24 hours, the Universi- ty's annual Relay for Life event united thousands of students, faculty and staff for the com- mon cause of defeating can- cer. This year's Relay funding surpassed last year's record of $340,000 with more than $365,217 raised by Sunday's 10 a.m. conclusion ceremony. This year's total is expected to increase further because the collection of money was dis- rupted due to thunderstorms at 5 a.m. yesterday. Relay for Life strives to fund cancer research and sup- port services that the Ameri- can Cancer Society oversees. Relays are the main fundrais- ing vehicle for the ACS, and it is estimated that more than 4 million Americans have taken part in Relay events since its inception in 1986. According to the Relay website, more than $3 billion has been raised for the ACS since that time. After the event, LSA senior Laura Flusty, co-executive director of Relay for Life, wrote in a statement to The Michigan Daily that despite the disruption in fundraising collection, the organizers still considered the event a success. "Though the weather was not ideal towards the end, we still were able to make the most out of the event with a large attendance, and even larger fundraising total," Flusty See RELAY FOR LIFE, Page 3A STUDENT START-UPS * TechArb honors work at end-of-year event Showcase highlights student entrepreneurship By AUSTEN HUFFORD Daily StaffReporter In a cavernous room with dusty floors and exposed light fixtures on East Liberty Street, members of Ann Arbor's start- up community gathered on Friday to celebrate their busi- ness successes. At the TechArb spring showcase, about 150 people came together for a variety of startup and entrepreneurship related affairs in honor of the University's startup incubator. Some came to showcase their companies and ideas to inves- tors, fans and peers, and grad- uating seniors were applauded for receiving the Program of Entrepreneurship certificate on their diplomas. TechArb also announced its next round of members for the second half of 2012. Engineering Dean David Munson said the University and Ann Arbor are becom- ing entrepreneurial hubs that might one day rival those of the Silicon Valley and New York. He referred to Ann Arbor as "this nation's next great entre- preneurial ecosystem and cre- ative community." Munson also reiterated the need for entrepreneurial Uni- versity graduates to stay con- nected with the campus even after leaving Ann Arbor. He said alumni should keep in touch with their classmates and remain aware of startup news. Doug Neal, executive direc- tor of the Center for Entrepre- neurship, praised graduating seniors who have completed the Program in Entrepreneur- ship - a nine-credit program that teaches entrepreneurial skills. Neal said the program is available to 90 percent of undergraduates at the Univer- sity.

David Erdody, a digital cura- tor at the Bentley Historical Library, discovered a series of 20 photo negatives in early January that feature King giv- ing a speech and hosting a dis- cussion at the University. These photographs, which have never been printed or published, depict King speaking and greet- ing a crowd at Hill Auditorium, attending a small discussion in the Michigan Union and having dinner at the University on Nov. 5, 1962. In explaining the discovery of the photo negatives, Erdody said he's known since his childhood that King often made trips to Detroit, but he always wondered ifKingever made an appearance See MLK, Page 7A WEATHER HI: 56 GOT A NEWS TIP?
