CSG campaigns
seek to capitalize
on roots in activism
By MICHAEL SUGERMAN
Daily StaffReporter
FORUM and Make Michigan
really aren't that different.
While each touts itself as a
"movement" rather than a party,
their platforms have considerable
overlap. Both focus on increasing
disersity at the University. mak-
ing the campus safer and reform-
ing athletics policies --namely
seating and ticketing at events -
that students have deemed unfa-
vorable.
While they may agree about
the issues that need attention,
each Central Student Govern-
ment party differs in its sug-
gested methods of implementing
change.
Public Policy junior Carly
5013
Manes, FORUM's presidential
candidate and a current LSA rep-
resentative on the CSG Assembly,
said diversity is the most impor-
tant of FORUM's four platform
points.
"That expands to not only
racial diversity, but diversity of
thought, diversity of experience.
diversity of interaction with the
University and how different stu-
dents experience Michigan," she
said. "It's important to allow for
space for all the experiences and
improve upon all of those experi-
ences."
LSA junior Pavitra Abraham,
FORUM's vice presidential can-
didate who is also a current
LSA representative on the CSG
Assembly, said accounting for the
breadth of individual experienc-
es will also be contingent upon
increasing students' access to the
services CSG has to offer.
"We really want to advocate
to empower all of those commu-
nities on campus and also make
5-m
sure that all of those communi-
ties are represented at the CSG
table," Abraham said.
To bring a larger range of
diverse voices to the University,
FoRUM plans to advocate for
financial aid for undocumented
students, drive increased recruit-
ing and on-site admission in
underrepresented communities
and reform the Race and Ethnic-
ity distribution requirement.
Of these objectives, Manes has
already begun her work on the
1R&E requirement. She has met
with University administrators
since October to draft a proposal
for a new, more encompassing
"identity" requirement, which
she and a coalition of students
presented to the LSA Curriculum
Committee Tuesdaynight for ini-
tial comments and suggestions.
Public Policy junior Bobby
Dishell, the Make Michigan pres-
idential candidate and current
CSG vice president, said diver-
sity relates to another often over-
looked issue on campus: mental
health. This belief jointly reflects
two of Make Michigan's five plat-
form pillars: health and diversity.
"Mental health is a huge issue
here on campus and it kind of hits
on all of our points," Dishell said.
"Mental health is something that
affects all students, and when you
are able to be mentally healthy, it
also is going to help the racial cli-
mate on campus and make people
feel safer in general."
Dishell and LSA sophomore
Meagan Shokar, the Make Michi-
gan vice presidential candidate
and currentspeaker of the assem-
bly, plan to implement a Universi-
ty-wide peer support program.
The new program would have
students register for peer support
groups based on mutual availabil-
ity Each group would be directed
by two seniors and two junior
trainees, all of whom would take
mandatory Intergroup Relations
and University Counseling and
Psychological Services training
before taking on leadership roles.

De Ceuninck added that

Locally, Ann Arbor restau-
