Founded in 2007, MAM consists of 100 active mem- bers who work in teams to create and plan distribu- tion of advertisements for a wide range of organiza- tions, including other stu- dent organizations and local' Ann Arbor businesses. Each group, comprised of about five to eight students, works with one of the club's 13 cli- ents for the entire academic year. LSA senior Anusha Stha- nunathan, president of MAM, said due to the large size of the club, each team sets their own weekly meet- ing time. "Our executive board meets every Sunday, and we try to meet at a different loca- tion every time to change the pace of our meeting," Stha- nunathan said. "Our last two meetings have been at Cafe Zola and Sava's." Sthanunathan said the recruiting process consists of an online application and in- person interviews. She added that MAM is open to students of all academic majors and years, and the interdisciplin- ary nature of the club pro- motes individual growth. In addition to working with clients, MAM hosts cor- porate events and workshops to provide mentorship for its members and the network- ing they need to succeed in careers in marketing and advertising. "I've found that MAM gave me so many avenues to excel not only within the club but also in interviews for companies," Sthanunathan said. "Using this experience to showcase how I've grown as a leader is so incredibly valuable." -ZENA DAVE Newsroom 734-410-411s opt.3 Corrections corrections@michigandaily.com Arts Section arts@michigandaily.com Sports Section sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales display@michigandaily.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com News Tips news@michigandaily.com Letters to the Editor tothedaily@michigandaity.com Editorial Page opinion@ocigandaity.com Photography Section photo@michigandaily.com Classified Sales classified@michigandaily.com Finance finance@michigandaily.com School ofArt and Design senior Charlotte Campbell melts crayons to create art in Bursley Hall on Tuesday.

The injunction was filed on Wednesday, six days before the start of the election by GSG's stu- dent legal counsel, LSA senior Lukas Garske. Garske was joined by CSG committee chair Jeremy Keeney, a law student, to repre- sent the petitioner at the hearing and RSG president Michael Ben- son was accompanied by two law students for counsel. Spectators included various members of CSG including Manish Parikh, CSG president and Business senior, and several members of RSG's execu- tive board. A major point in the hearing was whether the question submit- ted by RSG was a "ballotquestion" or a "referendum," which CSJ eventually voted in favor of the latter in a 3-2 decision. Under the RSG bylaws, bal- lot questions must be submitted within 14 days of the election. However, under another sec- tion of the bylaws, "referenda" can be sent out to its constituents "as (RSG) deems necessary by a majority vote."

"Was I upset that the assembly rejected me? Yes," he said. "Did I get over it like an adult within about a day? Yes." He added he was "somewhat offended" that this issue was brought up. Overall though, both Garske 6 9 and Benson spoke highly of CSJ and the process. While Garske called the results of the hearing "disappointing," he nevertheless lauded the professionalism of the 7t justices. "The judges were very impar- tial in their decision-making pro- cess, so I applaud them for that," he said. He added: "Every new crop of justices continues to impress with 4 their insight and depth." Law student Liz Gary, a mem- 6 ber of RSG's counsel at the meet- ing, said the hearing was her first 2 personal experience with student government at the University. "It gives me greater appre- ciation into how much work goes into all student governing," she " * said. "These are important, they affect thousands of people, they affect thousands of dollars." DYSFUNCTION From Page 1A and economic policies, which in turn has caused citizens to raise concern with their elected offi- cials. Ornstein suggested that increased public participa- tion and a restructuring of both houses of the U.S. Congress could remedy the problems cur- rently plaguing Congress. He said he hopes the media and gen- eral public will learn to reinforce positive policies and diminish deadlocks to ensure a functional democracy. "We do believe that some of the ways out of this are exter- nal to the Congress or politics in Washington," Ornstein said. "First among them, we want to make voting easier and we want to enlarge the electorate." Mann added that party polar- ization also must be addressed, and said each party needs to bet- ter focus their visions and squash extreme factions like the Tea Party. "In the end, it's going to take voters sefnding signals to the party that strayed too much while keeping the other one true to its mission and its promises to bring them back to the main- stream world of American poli- tics," Mann said. "Without doing that, nothing can be enacted or implemented effectively." Public Policy Dean Susan Col- lins said she found the session to be entertaining, particularly Ornstein's jokes about Big Bird's "near death experience" dur- ing the election, in which Mitt Romney claimed he would cut funding to PBS programming if elected during the second presi- dential debate last month. "I thought they did an excel- lent job of summarizing some of the challenges we are facing, but also offering some concrete sug- gestions," Collins said. "And they did it with some humor as well as some history." In addition to being comical, Collins said Mann and Ornstein were also easily understood by the audience. "Their responses were acces- sible to students who might not knoW'much about polittif sIsci- ence, but may be worried about what is going on in Congress," Collins said. "I liked the extent to which they went beyond the book, specifically their discus- sion of the past election." Public Policy graduate student Claire Hutchinson said she was glad to see University alumni returning to campus to educate current students. "It's awesome that they're Michigan grads and they're back and excited to be back," Hutchin- son said. "It's also really inter- esting that they're from very different political think tanks in terms of ideology, which is great and interesting and unique. I could have listened to them talk all day." Hutchinson also said she appreciated their perspective on Capitol Hill. "They had a lot of insight as to where the political gridlock is occurring and they did a really great job providing anecdotal stories about what they're seeing in D.C. now," Hutchinson said. S - ETHICS BOWL From Page lA other in the IEB Championship on Feb. 28in San Antonio, Texas. The University's seven mem- ber team been preparing since September.

"I can see a trend of more and more cases dealing with tech- nology in some way, and though this makes some cases trickier or stranger, it also makes cases more applicable to our lives," Fu said.
