Huh- man is the program manager for education and prevention at the University's Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center, and one of only five people who currently handle the crisis hotline. Huhman and three oth- ers serve as advocates in the SAPAC office, where survivors of trauma can receive support, counseling and resources for various issues. SAPAC staff also educate students about sexual assault to create a cam- pus environment focused on prevention. The center was founded in 1986 after University students protested the lack of a rape cri- sis center on campus. Huhman became an advo- cate for survivors of sexual or domestic violence, which cul- minated in her employment at SAPAC. After jgraduating from the University of Wisconsin in 2002, Huhman took a job at Underground Railroad, Inc., a domestic violence shelter in Saginaw, Mich. There, she worked with schools and juve- nile detention centers and gained experience educating youth about sexual assault and harassment, dating violence, stalking and healthy relation- ships, while working with sur- vivors. In 2004, Huhman entered the University's School of Social Work and began her work at SAPAC for her field placement.

On Monday, the team announced its intention to com- pete in the American Solar Challenge 2014, an eight-day, 1,700-mile race from Austin, Texas to St. Paul, Minn. But after the damage sus- tained at the World Solar Challenge in Australia, the team's latest car, Genera- tion, won't make an appear- ance in the next race. The car was pushed by a gust of wind whije at a stop on the fourth day of the race, causing it to fall into a ditch. Instead, the team announced plans to race its previous model, Quantum, a three-wheeled vehicle that weighs about 300 pounds and can reach 105 mph. LSA junior Ian Sullivan, the team's interim business direc- tor, said members, sponsors and See SOLAR, Page 3A STUDENT GOVERNMENT CSG discusses absence at meetings, election demerits CAMPUS LIFE Circle K to organize 24 hours of service Reps can now be excused at speaker's discretion By CAROLYN GEARIG Daily StaffReporter Eight days before the fall semester's Central Student Gov- ernment elections, the assembly met for their 10th meeting Tues- day night. CSG discussed two reso- lutions and passed one. LSA senior Pratik Ghosh, a CSG rep- resentative, authored a resolu- tion to modify CSG's absence excusal procedure, eliminating the requirement for excusal of a two-thirds assembly vote. The resolution passed unanimously - the speaker of the assem- bly can now excuse absences because of illness, academic obligations, family emergencies or religious holidays at his orcher discretion. LSA senior Annika Conrad, co-chair of the Rules Commit- tee, introduced a resolution to change the CSG elections demerit system to a violation and penalty system. Instead of the demerit system, in which those running for CSG who have committed offenses can contin- See CSG, Page 3A Nearly 50 organizations signed up to parcticpate By TANAZ AHMED For The Daily Starting at 8 a.m on Saturday, University students and mem- bers of the Ann Arbor com- munity will have the chance to volunteer for 24 consecutive hours.
