Graduate Student Council forms
75 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK 15 YEARS AGO THIS
(MARCH 30,1938): (MARCH 31,1963): WEEK (MARCH 23,1998):
The first graduate students'
council was formed at the
Michigan Union. This would be
the first organized meeting of
graduate students of any school
in the nation. The purpose of its
initiation was to involve gradu-
ate students in more aspects of
University affairs.
University officials Herbert
Weisinger, Stuart Portner and
Ellsworth Raymond were elect-
ed to be the three chairmen of
the main divisions of the new
organization: housing, intel-
lectual coordination, and social
and athletic committees.
Michigan's men gymnasts
took their first NCAA title with
a total of 129 points; Southern
Illinois University came in sec-
ond, finishing with 73 points.
Michigan took first place five
times and tied for first in anoth-
er event. Captain Gil Larose
managed to win three indi-
vidual categories, including the
all-around, the long-horse and
the high bar. Other notable ath-
letes were Arno Lascari, taking
first on the parallel bars; Gary
Erwin, taking first on the tram-
poline; and Mike Henderson,
tying for first place for the floor
exercise round.
After the University's Board
of Regents approved advertise-
ments deemed by some to be
racist and sexist earlier in the
month, University President
Robben Fleming cracked down
on his disciplinary policies and
emphasized the urgency for
consequential punishments.
One of the steps the Univer-
sity took to combat the negative
image of the prior advertise-
ments among local high schools
was to place new ads in the
school's newspapers.

Debt Wizard app aids
University law stuents
Dance Marathon club
to host week of events
Mobile application
displays ways to pay
off law school debt
By HILLARY CRAWFORD
For theDaily
Michigan Law students
recently gained access to the
new "Debt Wizard" mobile appli-
cation, which makes financial
uncertainties a little bit clearerby
calculating debt and suggesting
ways to pay it off.
The app, released last month,
combines projected costs of the
Law School along with expected
annual salaries after graduation,
among other aspects, to predict
and approximate future debt.
Sarah Zearfoss, an assistant
Law dean, introduced the appli-
cation to the studentbody.
"The Debt Wizard helps to
fulfill our obligation-speaking
both generally as an institution of
higher education and specifically
as a public university -to provide

some tools to grapple with the
considerable complexities," Zear-
foss said inastatement.
Debt Wizard presents 11,000
different repayment routes to
inform students of their payback
options. Students can calculate
their costs simply by inputting
their expected level of annual sal-
ary,geographicalmarket,debtlevel
and type of employment. In turn,
the app shows the monthly income
needed to balance debt, housing
costs and other living expenses.
The resulting debt calculation
is based upon the four most wide-
ly used federal payment plans by
law students and the National
Association for Law Placement's
salary levels. The geographic
markets, in contrast, are defined
by national trends and include big
cities across the nation.
Zearfoss said the app was ini-
tially a project for her office, but
many other units contributed as
well.
One of the contributors, Kon-
stantin Voyk, who works in IT at
the Law School, said he worked
on developing a visual design that
would display calculation results
in a simplified, accessible way.
"The main challenge was com-
ing up with how we can visualize
it because it's a lot of data," Voyk
said. "We want to show financial
information to students, and the
new generation isveryvisual."
On the prospect of expansion
plans, Voyk added the app devel-
opment team is currently think-
ing about expanding the number
of cities and regions to allow for
more choices and accuracy.
Student feedhack has been
encouraging, Zearfoss said.
Alyce Thompson, a student at
both the Law School and School
of Urban Planning, said she
thinks the tool can be useful in a
universal way.
"The Debt Wizard is a great
tool for informing prospec-
tive students on the realities of
debt they'll be facing when they
graduate," Thompson said. She
added that its especially helpful
for understanding costs of dif-
ferent cities.

jejikian said people involved The group's motto "Something
for everyone; Everyone for the
kids" speaks volumes toexactly
why, for 30 hours straight, over
1,000 students stand - or rath-
er, dance - together.
"There are things that doc-
tors told these kids that they'd
never be allowed to do - fly
in an airplane because the
noise bothers (them) or climb
a tree house because (they're)
in a wheelchair," Engineering
senior Jaclyn Harwood, the
other co-community outreach
chair for DMUM, said. "But we
have therapies that allow these
kids to do (those things), and
that changes their lives."
To conclude the 30-hour-long
event, the last four hours are
dedicatedto a visitor push called
"Stand With Us," in which Inje-
jikian said the final fundraising
amount will be revealed. She
encourages everyone to take a
small part of their Sunday to see
just how DMUM affects thou-
sands of children.
"Every dollar that we raise is
for those kids," Injejikian said.
"It's all about finding that inner
drive to make life better for
somebody. All kids deserve the
chance to dance."
DMUM will hold numerous
events throughout the week:
On Tuesday, there will be a
benefit dinner at Mia Za's; on
Wednesday, there will be a
Pizza House Trivia night; and
on Saturday, Yost Ice Arena
will host a skate night.
