CSG's entrepreneurship effort to
live up to these past improvements
to campus life.
Parikh said over the summer
he met with Business junior Scott
Christopher, president of MPow-
ered, who will chair the entre-
preneurship commission. The
two discussed the direction and
purpose of the commission, which
plans to meet weekly.
"Entrepreneurship is the future
of this campus and the future of
where all students need to start-
ing thinking about - no matter'
if they're art students, computer
majors, music majors, business,
engineering, social," Christopher
said.
He added that the University
has always produced a wide array

students' rights and anonymity
very seriously."

posted at about 4:30 p.m. Tues-
day afternoon and Berk said a
student quickly notified him of
the error. He immediately sent

that their presence wasn't well
known on campus either. Until
this summer, Alexandra Brill,
the chair of the University's
chapter of College Democrats,
didn't think the club was doing
a good enough job of advertising
around campus.
But then, she ' recalls, her
friends told her how frequently
they noticed fliers and banners
advertising the College Demo-
crats on campus. What they said
grabbed their attention was not
the flyers's text, but the ,group's.

"entrepreneur" should extend
to more University alumni than
notable innovators such as Larry
Page, the co-founder of Google, or
Dick Costolo, CEO of Twitter.
"Arthur Miller, the playwright.
He's just as much of an entrepre-
neur as Larry Page," Christopher
said. "And that's what we're about,
making big changes in whatever
field."
The final portion of the meet-
ing was reserved for brainstorm-
ing. While this was only the first
gathering of the members, there
was an abundance of ideas for the
commission.
Engineering sophomore David
Fontenot of MHackers - a rela-
tively new student organization
suggested that the Entrepreneur-
ial Commission should organize a
national conference and competi-
tion for student hackers, program-
mers and entrepreneurs.
Fontenot predicted that the
amount of students looking for a
national "hackathon" competi-
tion is so high that an event like
this would come up organically,
whether at the University or
another campus.
"I think there's extreme inter-
est for this event," Fontenot said.
"It's going to happen in the next
six months. I.think it should hap-
pen at Michigan and I think that
this Entrepreneurship Commis-
sion can make ithappen."
Thomas H. Zurbuchen, the
associate dean for entrepreneur-
ship programs, also attended the
meeting and said there is immense
untapped potential in entrepre-
neurial pursuits stemming from
student collaboration.
"We're a school that can do
amazing things. Many of the
things we individually can do ...
others can also do," he said. "What
we can do together, nobody can do
(as well)."
"Sorry for the confusion.
Despite my best efforts to pro-
tect anonymity, apparently
there are additional 'tabs' on
excel spreadsheets that change
methods of viewing," Berk
wrote in the e-mail sent to the
class. "We take protecting your
rights very seriously, and this
error has been resolved."
The original spreadsheet is
still accessible on the CTools
announcement that automati-
cally is sent to students' Uni-
versity e-mail addresses.
LSA junior Ryan Jacobs, a
student in the class, said he was
creating the donkey's bottom
half and legs.
"When I would say I didn't
know how much influence (the
logo) could have, they said, 'Oh
no, it would definitely do a lot,
because I always see those fliers
and I always know what's going
on, even if I don't attend,"' Brill,
an LSA junior, said. "That made
me realize that people see our
stuff even if they aren't regular
members."
Among those who have
noticed and admired the group's
advertising are the group's top
political rivals - the University's
chapter of the College Republi-
cans. .
The College Democrats' logo
and brand name have developed
initially unaware of the error
and is unsure as to how stu-
dents will react.
"Frankly, I'm kind of sur-
prised," Jacobs said. "I'm sure
there are students that are
upset about it because, you
know, not everyone did well on
that exam".
Berk said he deeply regrets
the entire incident.
"I would hope that students
would understand that it was
100 percent clerical error, not
intentional," Berk said. "I feel
terrible about this - I take this
stuff very seriously."
over years as the group makes
every effort to keep them ubiqui-
tous, chair Brill said in an inter-
view outside the group's office,
which she said was crowded with
T-shirts, clipboards and paint for
banners.
Though Jankowski said she
knows reforming the College
Republicans' brand will not be an
overnight phenomenon, she hopes
the beginning of the process will
be her legacy as chair.
She added that Republican
presidential nominee Mitt Rom-
ney's recent surge in the polls
has accelerated the group's
efforts by energizing the club
and bringing in new members.
"We're working hard to put
together that look about us."

Piersante said.
Officials reported a number of
comparative statistics that reveal
last year's crime trends. The
number of breaking and entering
incidents is up 60 percent this
year with 32 - last year only 20
were reported. The number of
sexual assaults has also jumped
from 6 last year to 16 this year.
The total number of crimes this
month is up 98 percent compared
to last October. Total crime this
year is up 32 percent from this
time last year.
The meeting specifically
focused on a recent increase in
larcenies - 131 percent for the
month of October. In the past
28 days, there have been a total
of 83 larcenies, whereas during
the same period last year, there
were only 36. As a whole, larce-
nies are up 35 percent in com-
parison with 2011.
DPS spokeswoman Diane
Brown said after the meeting
she believes the recent spike in
larceny is related to an increase
in the amount of drugs in cir-
culation in the Ann Arbor area.
Brown explained that some-
one who steals a Macbook may
exchange it with a drug dealer
for illegal substances.
Since Jan. 1, a total of 113
laptops have been reported sto-
len - Macbooks accounting for
more than one-half of comput-
ers taken. The majority of thefts

major libraries - the Hatcher
Graduate Library, the Shapiro
Undergraduate Library and
the Duderstadt Center. There
have been 38 reported thefts in
Hatcher, 19 in the UGLi and 11lin
the Duderstadt Center.
On Monday, University Police
arrested a 49-year old man
unaffiliated with the University
for attempting to sell a laptop
stolen earlier in the day, Brown
said in an earlier interview.
The owner of the laptop, a stu-
dent, found a post on Craigslist
advertising a computer similar
to his laptop. Officers arranged
to meet the suspect to purchase
the computer, and arrested him
upon contact. The laptop was
recovered.
In addition to laptop thefts,
bicycle thefts have also
increased. A reported 94 bikes
have been stolen since Jan. 1,
whereas throughout the entire-
ty of last year, only 69 thefts
were reported.
In addition to personal elec-
tronics, DPS now allows stu-
dents to register their bicycles.
DPS Sgt. Gary Hicks said he
believes the registration pro-
grains are crucial in preventing
future thefts, noting that if an
item is registered, "chances are,
it won't get stolen."
"Our job is to try to prevent
this from happening," Hicks
said. "We decided after looking
long and hard that we have this
laptop registration program,
and none of the laptops that
were stolen were registered. So
we upgraded the laptop regis-
tration program, and in addition
... we decided to start register-
ing bicycles as well."

Tigers fall inGame 1 route to Giants
Sandoval powers
San Fran. to 8-3 win
with Series-record
three home runs
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -
With three mighty swings, Pablo
Sandoval put the San Francisco
Giants ahead in this World Series
and put himself in a class with
Mr. October.
Sandoval hit three home runs
and joined Reggie Jackson,
Babe Ruth and Albert Pujols as
the only sluggers to do it in the
Series, and the Giants jolted Jus-
tin Verlander and the Detroit
Tigers 8-3 on Wednesday night
in Game 1.
A rollicking AT&T Park crowd
- a sea of black and orange out-
fits - roared as Sandoval con-
nected in his first three at-bats.
Popular in the Bay Area as the
Kung Fu Panda for his roly-poly
shape, he went 4 for 4 and drove
in four runs. A Giant panda for
sure. -
From start to finish, it was
basically a perfect game by the
Giants. Coming off a Game 7 win
over St. Louis on Monday night,
they looked totally fresh.
"We played our last game only
two days ago," Sandoval said.
"We're still hot. We just came
here and played our game."
Verlander, the reigning Cy
Young winner so dominant in
this postseason, looked uncom-
fortable from the get-go and con-
stantly pawed at the mound.
As fans filed out singing along
with Tony Bennett's standard "I
Left My Heart in San Francisco,"
the final score raised a nagging
question for manager Jim Ley-
land and his favored Tigers: Did
too much rest after a playoff
sweep of the Yankees mean too
much rust?
Tagged by Sandoval for a solo
shot in the first inning, Verlander
could only mouth 'Wow!' when
the Giants star launched a two-
run drive in the third that set
off another blast of fog horns.
Sandoval reprised his power
show from this year's All-Star
game, when his bases-loaded
triple highlighted a five-run first
inning against Verlander.
And if there was any doubt
that Verlander was shaky, the
best sign came in the fourth.
That's when pitcher Barry Zito, a
career .099 hitter, sliced an RBI
single with two outs off the cur-
rent AL MVP for a 5-0 lead.
The festive crowd stood
and applauded when it was
announced that Verlander was
being pulled for a pinch hit-
ter in the fifth. Sandoval gave
them another reason to get up
moments later when he hit a solo
homer off reliever Al Alburquer-
que in the fifth, answering the
cheers by waving his batting hel-
met in a curtain call.
The Tigers seemed out of sorts
in their first game following a
five-day layoff. That was an issue
in 2006, too, when Verlander and
his teammates had nearly a week
off before getting wiped out by
the Cardinals.
"I'm one that's been around
long enough to know that a lot of
things happen in this game. This
was a big-hyped game with Jus-
tin, probably a lot of pressure on
him," Leyland said.
"But I don't think it had any-
thing to do with the pressure.
His fastball command was not
good. He got out of sync. He got
on fast forward. He just did not
pitch well tonight. It's that sim-
ple," he said.
Pujols homered three times
last year, Jackson accomplished
the feat in 1977 and Ruth did it in
1926 and again in 1928.
For good measure, Sandoval
lined a single his last time up. He
donated the bat he used for the
first two homers to the Hall of
Fame - no need for it anymore,
he broke on the backswing of his
second shot.
Sandoval is one of a record
nine Venezuelans on the Series
rosters, and his power perfor-
mance attracted attention way
beyond the ballpark.
"There goes the third! Pablo
makes history," Venezuelan
President Hugo Chavez tweeted
in Spanish.
Left off the 2010 World Series
roster by the champion Giants,
Zito shut out the Tigers until Tri-
ple Crown winner Miguel Cabre-
ra hit an RBI single in the sixth.
The Giants won for the 14th
straight time with Zito starting.
"Just the opportunity alone
was mind-blowing. Me and my
wife were dancing around when
I heard," Zito said of getting the
Game 1 start. "And then the boys
came out swinging and played
great defense."
NL championship series MVP
Marco Scutaro hit RBI singles
after doubles by Angel Pagan.
NL batting champion Buster
Posey contributed two hits, left
fielder Gregor Blanco made div-
ing catches to rob Cabrera and
Prince Fielder, and Tim Lince-
cum came out of the bullpen to
prevent further damage.
Game 2 is Thursday night,
with Doug Fister starting for the
Tigers against Madison Bumgar-
ner.
The Giants kept getting good
bounces, with Pagan hitting a
double that hopped off the third-
base bag. ALCS MVP Delmon
Young, meanwhile, failed to run
after a tapper in front of the plate
that the Giants turned into a
double play.
Pitching in San Francisco for
the first time since 2008, Ver-
lander scuffed at the rubber
while warming up for the first
inning, pulled off his glove after
badly overthrowing a curve and
kept taking deep breaths. He
hardly resembled the guy who
was 3-0 with an 0.74 ERA in
three playoff starts this year.
Ever since two poor outings in
the 2006 Series against St. Louis
- punctuated by two throwing
errors - Verlander has worked
hard to harness his emotions
and 100 mph heat in the early
going.
Verlander was trying to settle
in when Sandoval tagged him,
pouncing on an 0-2 fastball and
lining it into the front row over
the center-field wall. Quite a
start for the team that finished
last in the majors in home runs.
Get this: It was the first
three-homer game at the stadi-
um originally known as Pac Bell
Park since the very first one,
when Kevin Elster did it for the
Dodgers in 2000. Nope, not even
home run king Barry Bonds had
done this.
It was certainly a moment of
retribution of Sandoval. He was
benched during the 2010 World
Series, his production and con-
fidence down, his weight up. In
the stands on this night, fans
wearing furry panda hats cel-
ebrated with him.
Verlander got into trouble
again the third, and pitching
coach Jeff Jones strolled to the
mound when the count went
to 2-0 on Sandoval. Verlander
stared at Jones and shook his
head. On the next pitch, Ver-
lander could do little but watch
the ball sail into the front row
in left.
To some, this looked some-
what similar to the 2010 Series
opener. That day, the Giants
beat up the supposedly unhit-
table Cliff Lee on their way to a
five-game romp over Texas.
This is how bad it got for the
Tigers: Former closer Jose Val-
verde made his first appearance
in 11 days. Leyland still isn't sure
what he'll get from the strug-
gling reliever.
Lincecum, meanwhile,
retired seven straight batters
and struck out five of them. The
two-time Cy Young winner has
embraced his new role in the
bullpen.
Jhonny Peralta hit a two-
run homer for the Tigers in
the ninth off mop-up reliever
George Kontos.
