RHA encourges students to join'allyhood' in event 'Becoming an Ally' closes series of diversity events hosted by the group By CHARLOTTE JENKINS Daily StaffReporter Students gathered Sunday in Couzens Residence Hall to learn about the importance of allies and allyhood as part of the Residence Hall Associa- tion's event titled "Becoming an Ally: The Basics of Under- standing Diversity." Event leaders described allyhood as important in sup- porting and diversifying voic- es of oppressed groups. Allies are typically members of a group perceived to be privi- leged or dominant in society. LSA sophomore Drew Walker, chair of the RHA H-o Committee for a Diverse and Welcoming Community, said her goal for the event was for people to learn something new and feel inspired to help peo- ple in marginalized groups. Walker added that though the University is a diverse cam- pus, diversity and the presence of minority students has dwin- dled since the 2006 state ban on affirmative action. The event was the fourth and final in a series of diver- sity events hosted by RHA this year. Other events included discussions about cultural appropriation and feminism in Miley Cyrus' new image and the portrayal of women in Disney movies, as well as a screening of the movie "42" for Black History Month. Walker said she hopes these events change the way stu- dents view the RHA. "People have this image that RHA is just a funding source," 5-m Walker said. "But we have a lot of strength on campus ... and can be really beneficial to peo- ple living in residence halls." Participants discussed priv- ilege and how identities affect different situations. In groups, students were randomly assigned an identity such as Muslim, obese, light-skinned, middle-class, blind or physi- cally disabled. Students were asked to consider how these identities would affect them in certain situations, such as when applying to a corporate level job or how they would act at a frat party. LSA junior Emily Paull said this activity made her think more about what others with different identities might face, particularly those with learn- ing disabilities. "At Michigan, there is such a strong environment of com- petition, people are so focused on getting the grade and hav- ing the GPA," Paull said. "Peo- ple don't stop and think about people who have a learning disability." Paull said an understanding of allyhood is critical to cel- ebrate the diversity that exists on campus. Walker said people usually think of an ally as an LGBTQ ally, but she thinks the defini- tion of allyhood is broader. "I think an ally can be in any form, if you're in a minority, a female or someone with a dis- ability," Walker said. "Even just a plain old friend is an ally." You're not following @michigandaily? SMH. vici LIU/Daily Participants of the Martha Cook National Eating Disorder Awareness walk practice recovery based therapy in the multipur- pose rooms of Couzens Hall Saturday. Martha Cook walk firndraises $15k to fig Nearly a fifth of undergraduates screen positive for an eating disorder By TANAZ AHMED Daily StaffReporter On Saturday, approximately 200 students and faculty mem- bers gathered to raise nearly $15,000 for a variety of Nation- al Eating Disorder Association programs. The walk's goal was to also facilitate open conversation about the prevalence of eating disorders and raise awareness of the disease. Beneficiaries of the event include the Feed- ing Hope Fund for Clinical Research & Training, National Eating Disorder Awareness Week and Proud2Bme, an online teen community that promotes a healthy view of self- image. NEDA is a nonprofit organi- zation dedicated to preventing eating disorders as well as help- ing those with eating disorders. NEDA has previously organized ht eating disorders walks in other states such as Arizona, Ohio and Pennsylva- nia. The walk held in Ann Arbor was the first of its kind held in Michigan. Though organizers planned to hold the event in the Nich- ols Arboretum, icy condi- tions forced them to relocate the majority of the event to Couzens Residence Hall. Par- ticipants completed the walk at Palmer Field. LSA junior Michelle Zaydlin helped bring the NEDA Walk to Ann Arbor. As the service chairwoman in the Martha Cook Building, Zaydlin orga- nizes service projects for the residence hail. After she con- tacted NEDA, with the support of the organization and the Martha Cook service commit- tee, the first Michigan NEDA Walk was created. "I have seen the impact of eating disorders personally and living in a building of 140 women we see a lot of issues surrounding body image and disordered eating," Zaydlin wrote in an e-mail. "By having this event on campus we allow students to easily attend and learn about the impact of eating disorders and what resources are available." Among attendees included members of student organiza- tions such as the University's chapter of Psi Chi, a psychology honors society. According to a study con- ducted by U-SHAPE at the University, 27.8 percent of female undergraduates and 11.8 percent of male undergradu- ates on campus screened posi- tive for an eating disorder. For graduate students, 21.5 percent of females and 10.3 percent of males also screened positive. "These diseases often bring with it shame, guilt and silence. Yet, today we are here to fight the stigma and help support eat- ing disorder awareness, treat- ment and research,"Zaydlin said at the beginning of the event. She showed a video montage detailing the stories of many men and women in the commu- nity who have struggled with eating disorders. Zaydlin con- cluded her opening remarks by discussing her own experience with an eating disorder. The opening remarks were See AWARENESS, Page 3A A
