The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Monday March 31, 2014 - 3A CSG From Page 1A that entire party is immediately removed from the election. Social Work student Steven Richards, a FORUM legislative candidate, filed a similar suit last week against the Defend Affirma- tive Action Party, citing e-mail use violations. The UEC found DAAP not guilty on the basis that the sender of the e-mail in ques- tion was not proven to be officially affiliated with DAAP campaign- ing. The main evidence FORUM was able to provide against the defendant was that the sender of the e-mail was a close friend of a DAAP member. The complaints against FORUM, the Party Party and the House of Cards Party regard- ing campaign finances would not MARATHON From Page 1A course. Another offering, the Finish 1.2 Mile, provided participants who want to finish a marathon but may not have the stamina or ability to finish it in a single day, the opportunity to complete the BASKETBALL From Page 1A for. The sophomore guard had the reins to the offense. He kept the Wolverines in the game with an explosive first half and used his court vision to find chances for teammates in the second. He finished with 24 points, but that couldn't stop Julius Randle, Dakari Johnson, Alex Poythress and Marcus Lee. "It's never easy, especially when they get a decent amount of post touches," said redshirt junior cen- ter Jon Horford. "They kept feed- ing them and feedingand feeding." The four Kentuckybig men com- bined for 42 points and dominated Michigan on the boards and in the paintcthroughout the second half. The four posedsize mismatches for Michigan, prompting Beilein to move into a 1-3-1 zone defense early in the second half. The switch didn't make much of a dif- ference, though, as Kentucky con- tinued its assault on the boards. The Wildcats collected 17 offen- sive rebounds and 35 total com- pared to Michigan's 24. The Wolverines handled Ken- tucky's size respectably in half- court sets, but once the shot was up, Michigan was in trouble. Per- sistence on the glass helped Ken- tucky coach John Calipari's team neutralize Michigan's talent on the perimeter. The Wolverines were limited to a shot each possession, while the Wildcats were present- ed the luxury with two or three affect election results as drasti- cally as the e-mail violation, but percentages of total votes may still be deducted from each party. Fernandez is calling for four demerits to be assigned to each party in question for campaign finance violations. Each demerit results in a 3-percent deduction of total votes. If found guilty by the UEC, FORUM, the Party Party and House of Cards Party will each have 12 percent of their total votes deducted. Each party in question did not provide receipts for its campaign funding, an infraction outlined in the election code. The campaign disclosure forms list each party's expenditures, yet at the close of campaigning, no receipts were published. The receipts would verify those expenditures. Nine expenditures by FORUM, four by the Party Party and four first 25 miles during the months leading up to the marathon date. These runners logged their miles and completed the final 1.2 miles on Sunday. Northfolk, Virginia resident Ramiro Bravo, one of the par- ticipants, said he is currently attempting to run half-marathons in all 50 states. He resolved in 2012 to finish the Chicago Marathon, but Bravo said he hated running attempts per trip down the floor. "Whether they were tipping it in or tipping it back, they were really doing a good job just keeping it alive on offense," said fifth-year senior Jordan Morgan, who found himself in foultrouble for much ofthe game. The teams traded blows early, each using its bestasset to sock the other. Stauskas foundhimselfwith plenty of space to operate, and he alone provided Michigan's fire- power in the first half. He made his first three shots to give the Wol- verines a quick 10 points before taking his game to the rim. He fin- ished the half with 18 points. Kentuckyused its long and leap- ing size to attack Michigan with finishes on either side of the bas- ket. The surprise was that it was Lee and not Randle responsible for the damage early on. Lee, who's averaged 2.1 points per game this season, scored 10 points in the first_ half. He made five shots, all within a foot of the rim, to help the Wild- cats erase a 32-22 Michigan lead to force a 37-37 tie at halftime. "You can see the size disad- vantage was obvious out there," Beilein said. "But we still felt we could finda way to win with a few other breaks." Michigan was able to create opportunities late in the shot clock and stayed within arm's reach of John Calipari's team in the final minutes. Twice, the Wildcats tried to break away from Michigan in the half - right out of the halftime break and again with seven min- utes remaining. They held a 62-55 advantage with 6:31 to play, but Michigan had plenty in the tank. by the House of Cards Party, are unaccounted for by receipts. Make Michigan claims that since such spending is outlined in the list of expenditures, the failure to provide corresponding receipts is in violation of the election code. The recent complaints that are delaying the release of offi- cial election results have already received comment via social media. The Party Party and Make Michigan both officially acknowl- edged the conflict on Twitter late Saturday evening. "A hotdog costume $18 / A rhythmic gymnastics wand $7 / Iron on t shirts $100 dollars / @ MakeMichigan filing a suit about our expenses: Priceless," read a tweet by the official Party Party Twitter account, @umpartyparty. @MakeMichigan, the official account of Make Michigan, favor- ited the tweet. the full26.2 miles, and is now run- ning only half-marathons. He's ran in 11 states so far, and Ann Arbor has been one of the more pleasant experiences for him. "The only bad part from a run- ning aspect was the roads being as bad as they are," Bravo said. "Other than that, it was nice, sce- nic and well put together. It seems like a pretty good community here in Ann Arbor." Giving Kentucky a taste of its own medicine, the Wolver- ines scrapped for three offensive rebounds in their final possession of the season with under a minute left, culminating in a Morganlayup to tie the game, 72-72. A possession later, it was over. "It was the most fun I've ever had playing in a basketball game," said sophomore forward Glenn Robinson III. Michigan had won its last nine gamesthatweredecidedbyfivepoints or less,butthe good fortune ran out. "That's basketball.

The loss brings about the next phase in the Michigan basketball yearly cycle. Stauskas, Robinson and sophomore forward Mitch McGary will all be wooed by the NBA, and they'll make their decisions in the comingweeks. After being eliminated, Beilein reflected on coaching one of his most successfulteams. "It was so maintenance-free," he said. "There wasn't drama. There was just 'Coach, we're here to go to work.' It was what I think coaches really get into coaching for, to have" that opportunity to coach a team like this."

AT LEAST YOU HAVE CSG ELECTION RESULTS TO LOOK FORWARD TO. @MICHIGANDAILY FACEBOOKECOM/MICH IGAN DAILY Ben & Jerry's chair talks company's beginnings Jeff Furman discusses social responsiblity of his business By CAROLYN GEARIG Daily StaffReporter Despite 40-degree weather and cloudy skies, more than 200 peo- ple went to Rackham Auditorium Friday afternoon for free Ben and Jerry's ice cream - and a talk from one of the men who started it all. Jeff Furman, chairman of the board of directors of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, discussed the compa- ny's socially responsible business practices and its evolution from its humble beginning. The difficulty of making profits while focus- ing on social justice led to both growth and difficulties, culmi- nating in the sale of the company almost 14 years ago to Unilever, a consumer goods company that owns more than 400 brands. The School of Information sponsored the event with sup- port from Innovate Blue, the Ross School of Business and Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship at the School of Public Health. The event included free Ben & Jerry's ice cream and a signing ofthe book "Ice Cream Social: The Struggle for the Soul of Ben and Jerry's." Furman, who has been chair- man of the board of directors since 2010, helped found the company's first location in 1978. It now has more than 600 locations across the globe, including a franchise on South State Street inAnn Arbor. "The struggle to maintain our identity has always been a difficult thing for us," he said. The company has a three-part mission focused on quality prod- ucts, strong profits and social jus- tice. Furman spoke extensively about the company's actions to support a variety of causes. Ben & Jerry's shuns the use of genetically modified organisms in its products and uses fair trade ingredients as often as possible, Furman said. "To put it simply, we believe that businesses must actively lead in global solutions or there may never be global solutions," Furman said. "We must challenge the status quo." In 2010, the company faced criti- cism from a Washington-based watchdog group, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, for marketing its ice cream as "all- natural." The criticism stemmed from the use of chemically modified ingre- dients, such as alkalized cocoa and corn syrup. The company does use cage-free eggs and dairy without bovine growth hormones, but nev- ertheless removed the "all-natural" moniker. "We have decided to remove these claims and focus more strongly on our other core values," said CEO Jostein Solheim wrote in a letter to CSPL Ben & Jerry's pays hourly employees more than double most states' minimum wage, and until the company was acquired by Unilever, the company limited its CEO's pay to 17 times what a nor- mal full-time worker in a store would make. "People can't live on $7.40 an hour," Furman said. "We do not treat people as transactions but rather as individuals." LSA sophomore Maddie Jursek attended the event because she is interested in social responsibility in business. "I'm interested in hearing about how corporations are dealing with changes ahead of us like cli- mate change, poverty and similar causes," Jursek said. "I thought it was interesting to hear from a com- pany that was so socially respon- sible."
