The decision went into effect two days prior to increase social opportunities, but the resulting need to change dining halls several times a week was a point of contention for students. A solution was later proposed allowing students to change din- ing halls less frequently, result- ing in co-ed dinners only once or twice per semester. After the motion was defeated, the men of Winchell House exited in protest. Percy Danforth, known as "master of the bones," played his unique instrument in the Michi- gan Union. Danforth created music with two 3- to 4-inch rib bone-shaped pieces of wood, holding the wood pieces between his fingers with one "bone" against the heel of his hand and allowing the others to swing back and forth, resulting in a unique clacking rhythm. Danforth ended his perfor- mance with a brief explanation of the genre of ragtime music, where the use of musical bones became popular. Three University basketball players were caughtstealingfrom the Ann Arbor Dairy Mart. Ray Jackson, Jimmy Iing and Chris Fields stole several 12-packs of Molson Ice beers from the East University Avenue store. Allison Chenault, the Dairy Mart clerk working at the time of the incident, saw the students taking the beer but did not make any effort to stop them. Instead, she was seen on videotape hug- ging the three players. Chenault was subsequently fired from Dairy Mart and received the same sentence as the players. - SARAHBERNARD Newsroom 734-418-4115 opt.3 Corrections corrections@michigandaily.com ArtsSection arts@mihigandaily.com Sportslection sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales dailydisplay@gmail.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com News Tips news@michigandaily.com Letters to the Editor tothedaily@michigandaily.com Editorial Page opinion@michigandaily.com Photography Section photo@michigandaily.com Classified Sales classified@michigandaily.com Finance finance@michigandaily.com Business sophomore Angela Huang speaks at the Lean In lecture on women empowerment at the Ross School of Business Friday.

Detroit police feel bankrupl Low pay and old facilities wear down morale despite positive changes DETROIT (AP) - It has come to this: Even some criminals sympathize with Detroit's cops. Baron Coleman thought he'd heard it all in his 17 years patrol- ling the streets. But then came the city's bankruptcy, a 10 per- cent cut in police salaries, fol- lowed by support from a most unlikely corner - the bad guys. "When they saw us take a pay cut they were in shock. We were arresting guys ... and they were like, 'I can't believe your city would do you like this.' ... I say, 'Thanks for caring,"' the veteran officer says with a smile. "It's just funny because I don't like communicating with a person who has just committed a rob- bery how sad my life is." Detroit police officers have long known adversity: They've worked in crumbling station houses with busted pipes, driv- en run-down cars, tangled with balky radios. They've navigat- ed darkened streets - Detroit has thousands of broken street lights - chasing criminals, breaking up fights, encountering drug dealers who may be carry- ing AK-47s or wearing their own bulletproof vests. As Detroit tries to rebound - a plan to emerge from bank- ruptcy was filed Friday - few groups, if any, have been feeling the pain of the city's financial collapse more than the police. Despite some recent positive changes - a new chief, new cruisers, new plans - there's worry, frustration and anger among the rank and file. Pay- checks have shrunk. Morale is low. Co-workers have fled to more lucrative jobs. And those who remain face a formidablet task: trying to protect a sprawl- ing, often violent city where hid- den dangers lurk among tens of thousands of abandoned houses. Baron Coleman knows it's hard being a police officer any- where. In these trying times, itI may be a lot harder in Detroit. Nearly ageneration ago, whenI Coleman traded a factory job for a badge and crisp blue uniform,I he had certain expectations: a good salary, great benefits and a pension. The bankruptcy erased allI that. The city's financial future is uncertain. So is his own. Though he still enjoys being an officer, Coleman he says he never dreamed that as he( approached age 50, he'd ber working seven days a week -I moonlighting in security jobs - to pay for two kids in school andt compensate for a $15,000 dropt in benefits and wages. I "Right now, the dream of what I came on for has been destroyed," he says. "I'm wor-I ried. Is my pension going to beL HUMh tcy woes there? If I get injured, is the city going to cover my family? ... Before I would tell my wife, 'If I die, I know you'll be taken care of.' Now, I tell her, 'If I die, you're on your own."' The plan by Detroit's emer- gency financial manager to pull the city out of bankruptcy would give police and fire retirees at least 90 percent of their pen- sions after eliminating cost-of- living allowances (other city workers would likely get at least 70 percent). But that plan prob- ably faces court challenges and hinges on proposed state fund- ing, among other factors. While so many unresolved issues linger, the department is under new leadership. James Craig knew all about the depart- ment's troubles, but the former Detroit police officer who spent much of his 37-year law enforce- ment career in Los Angeles eagerly returned home last sum- mer to take what he called his "dream job" - chief of police. He is the fifth man to hold the position in five years. But he is undaunted. 5-1 Grenade thrown at protest against Thai government Study ID: HUM00058635 IRB: IRBMED Date Approved:1/6/2014 epiration Date:1/5/2015 EVER HAD A CONCUSSION??

The attack near the Ratchap- rasong intersection in the heart of Bangkok, home to major shopping malls and luxury hotels, followed another assault on anti-government protesters in eastern Thailand on Saturday night that killed a young girl and wounded dozens of other people. A 6-year-old girl, Patchara- korn Yos-ubon, died Monday from brain and liver injuries, according to Erawan emergen- cy services center, which keeps track of protest casualties in Bangkok. She died one day after her 4-year-old brother, Korawit, and a 59-year-old woman were killed in the attack. A 9-year-old boy suffering from brain and lung damage from the explosion remained in the intensive care unit of Ramathibodi Hospital, accord- ing to a hospital statement released Monday. Erawan center said Sunday's violence left 21 others injured. The attacks were the latest in a spate of protest-related vio- lence roiling Thailand over the past three months, with at least 18 people killed and hundreds hurt. The protesters, who are occupying several key intersec- tions in Bangkok, want Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawa- tra to quit to make way for an appointed interim government to implement anti-corruption reforms, but she has refused. On Saturday night, a 5-year- old girl was killed and about three dozen people wounded in an attack on an anti-govern- ment rally in the eastern prov- ince of Trat. The perpetrators have not been identified in either attack. Both sides in the ongoing politi- cal dispute have blamed the other for instigating violence. A protest leader, Sathit Won- gnongtoey, said Sunday's explo- sion was caused by a grenade. Six protesters were hurt Friday night by a grenade attack in the same area. Explosives experts from the police and army cordoned off the immediate area of the blast to search for clues amid vendors' overturned tables and bloodied sandals. Protest- ers, meanwhile, continued to rally on streets in the area that they have occupied for several weeks, while soldiers patrolled in combat gear. While the protesters have failed repeatedly to force Yin- gluck out through self-declared deadlines, they have blocked the prime minister from work- ing at her normal offices and have sent roving mobs after her, making it difficult for her and Cabinet members to make pub- lie appearances. The protesters also have suc- ceeded in delaying completion of early elections called by Yin- gluck, undermining efforts to restore political stability. "I strongly condemn the use of violence in recent days that has caused many deaths both in Trat province and, especially, at Ratchaprasong today, which is particularly saddening and dis- turbing since the lives of chil- dren were lost," Yingluck said in a statement Sunday night.
