After Monday's attack,
officer killed at MIT

Massive manhunt
underway in
city on edge
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP)
- A police officer for the Mas-
sachusetts Institute of Tech-
nology has been shot and killed
at the campus outside of Bos-
ton, authorities said early Fri-
day. No arrests had been made
and a manhunt was on for the
shooter.
The officer was responding to

report of a disturbance Thursday
night when he'was shot multiple
times, according to a statement
from the Middlesex District
Attorney's office and Cambridge
police. It said there were no other
victims.
MIT said on its website that
police were sweeping the cam-
pus in Cambridge and urged
people to remain indoors until
further notice. People were
urged to stay away from the Stata
Building, a mixed use building
with faculty offices, classrooms
and a common area.

The shooting came little more
than three days after the twin
bombings on the Boston Mara-
thon that killed three people,
wounded more than 180 others
and led to an increase in security
across the city.
The shooting took place about
10:30 p.m. outside an MIT build-
ing, according to state police
spokesman Dave Procopio.
The officer, who was not
immediately identified, was
taken to a hospital where he
was pronounced dead from his
wounds.

Pakistan sees first
transgender candidate

Historic election
marks progress.
for stigmatized
community
KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) -
When Bindiya Rana, a trans-
gender candidate in Pakistan's
elections, went door to door in
the Karachi slum she hopes to
represent, few people seemed
to care about which gender
she identifies with. They were
more interested in what she
was going to do to combat the
street crime and electricity
outages in their neighborhood
if elected.
For the first time in Pakistan's
history, transgender people
are running as candidates. The
development marks a sign of
progress for transgender people
in this conservative country,
where they have long been met
by abuse.
Transgender refers to peo-
ple who present themselves to
the world, in.a way that does
not correspond with their sex
at birth. In Pakistan, that usu-
ally means people born as men
who now dress like women and
wear makeup. They identify as
a "third gender" rather than as

male or female but usually ask
to be referred to by the feminine
pronoun since there is no third-
gender pronoun.
Rana has always been active
in her community and works at
an organization that helps pro-
mote the rights of transgender
people as well as street chil-
dren and other social issues.
But she decided to run for
office as well after a Supreme
Court ruling in 2011 allowed
members of the transgender
community to get national
identity cards recognizing
them as a separate identity -
neither male or female - and
allowing them to vote.
She's vying for a provincial
assembly seat in the May 11
national elections.
"People ask if we will win or
lose in the elections. But I won
when my nomination papers
were submitted," she said.
The Supreme Court's deci-
sion didn't explicitly say that
transgender people could run for
office, but by getting the identity
cards and the right to vote the
road was opened for them. Before
the court's decision, transgender
people could get identity cards
only if they identified themselves
as men.
Almas Boby, president of the
Pakistan Shemale Foundation,

which advocates for members of
the transgender community, said
she knows of at least five trans-
gender candidates taking part
in the elections. Two, including
Rana, are running in the south-
ern port city of Karachi, and one
each from the cities of Jehlum,
Gujrat, and Sargodha in Punjab
province.
"The Supreme Court of Paki-
stan gave us our rights. Now
transgendered people are also
contesting elections, and our
thousands of people will vote for
them," Boby said.
"If our people manage to
reach assemblies, we will get a
better treatment in society," she
said.
Male and female roles are
clearly defined in Pakistan, and
transgender people often face
harassment and abuse - even
from their own families. Some
are pushed out of the home when
they are young and end up pros-
tituting themselves to earn a liv-
ing.
One role where they are
tolerated is as dancers at wed-
dings and other celebrations
at which men and women
are strictly segregated. In
between the dancing and
showers of rupee notes, they
must fend off groping from
drunken guests.

UNION
From Page 1
dents to gauge support for a fee to
support the renovations. Around
two-thirds of respondents indi-
cated that they would support the
implementation of a surcharge.
The University created the
nation's first student recreation
program in 1928. The Michigan
Union is the third oldest build-
ing of its type in the nation. It
has served as the backdrop for
multiple historic events, includ-
ing President John F. Kennedy's
speech that inspired the creation
of the Peace Corps in 1960 and a
discussion lead by Martin Luther
Kingon civil rights in 1962.
Caroline Canning, president
of LSA Student Government,
encouraged the Board to approve
the proposal as a crucial step in
restoring campus interconnect-
edness and improving spaces,for
students to develop leadership
skills and relationships.
During public comments, Can-
ning teared up as she addressed
the significance of her University
experience. She expressed her
hope that these renovations can
provide spaces for personal devel-
opment of future students.
"We need to invest in the brick
and mortar that make our college
experiences so unique," Canning
said.
After the projects were
approved, Canning said she was
excited for what the renovations
will bring to University students
in the future. Although Canning

will graduate this year, Build-
ing a Better Michigan will work
with the administration to use
students' ideas for the renova-
tions.
"Spaces on campus aren't just
spaces; spaces are where col-
lege experiences really unfold,"
Canning said. "We want to keep
the historical nature of these old
buildings, but I think the mod-
ern Michigan student deserves
more."
Canning added that, over Fall
Break, she and other members of
Building a Better Michigan trav-
eled to Ohio State University and
Purdue University, among oth-
ers, to gain inspiration from their
unions and recreational centers.
Susan Pile, director of the
Michigan Union, said the focus
of the Union renovations would
be increasing collaborative spac-
es for students with particular
attention to the needs of orga-
nizations. While renovations to
Mitchell Fields and other recre-
ational facilities are scheduled to
begin next summer, an architect
will be selected for the Union
article in the next year.
"I think it will be spaces that
really play into the tradition of the
Michigan Union but taking them
a step further and the innovative
experience we have at Michigan
and how that can be developed
within the Union itself," Pile said.
A great deal of the work will
focus on updating the Union's
nearly 95-year-old piping, elec-
trical systems and infrastruc-
ture. Pile added that it's unclear
whether the Union can remain

ADAM GLANZMAN/Daily
open during the renovation pro-
cess given safety concerns. It
is also unknown what impact
the large-scale renovations will
have on the vendors in the base-
ment.
Regent Denise Ilitch (D)
expressed her excitement for
supporting, the renovation after
comments from Canning and two
other students.
"Your positions and words
made a big difference," Illitch
said. "It mattered that a lot (stu-
dents) came forward and said
they would support this. Unions
are so vibrant. They are our life-
blood and I'm so excited our stu-
dents take such pride in it."
* Regent Julia Darlow (D) said
students receiving need-based
financial aid will have the student
fee covered by aid packages.
Regent Andrea Fischer New-,.
man (R) expressed concern about
adding a student fee to fund the
Union project.
She said there are many other
facilities on campus that require
repairs and said she would not
support the fee for students with-
out searching for other funding
possibilities, though she supports
the Union renovation process.
"If the students have a choice,
then I would be more comfort-
able," Newman said.
Regent Mark Bernstein (D)
said unions are as much a part of
the University experience as resi-
dence halls and academics.
"I grew up in this building and '
I don't distinguish this project
from the academic enterprise of
the University," Bernstein said.
