The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com NEWS BRIEFS FENTON, Mich. Drinking water in Fenton safe again after leak fixed Fenton authorities say it's safe for everyone in the Genesee County community to drink the water again. The city issued a boil-water warning after discovering Wednesday that a 6-inch water man on Trealout St. was broken. WEYI-TV says crews were unable to make repairs without depressurizing the system, which allows bacteria to enter pipes. That led to the warning to residents of a number of streets and apartment complexes not to use water without boiling it first. The station reported Sunday that Fenton has lifted the order after confirming the system has been decontaminated. OVERLAND PARK, Ka. Three dead in community center shooting Authorities say three people died in a shooting at a Jewish community center and retirement community, and two were shot at but not injured. Overland Park Police Chief John Douglass said at a news conference Sunday that the person who had been reported to be in critical condition was one of the three dead. Douglass said shots were fired behind the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City in a parking lot, and two males died. Shots were reported minutes later at the Village Shalom retirement community, where one female died. Ages and identities of the victims were not released. A man in his 70s who is not from Kansas was taken into custody at a nearby school. Douglass did not provide further information. LONDON Prize-winning Chihuahua and four other puppies stolen in Britain British police are appealing for help finding five stolen dogs, including a Chihuahua puppy that recently won a major prize at the prestigious Crufts competition. The thieves apparently broke into a house in the village of Lissett in central England and made off with the valuable dogs. The best known was Xena, named best Chihuahua puppy at the annual Crufts dog show in March. Her mother, grandmother and two other Chihuahuas were also taken. Humberside police said Sunday they are asking the public to provide any leads. The theft took place Thursday. VERACRUZ, Mexico Thirty-six dead in bus crash on Mexican highway A passenger bus slammed into a broken-down truck and burst into flames, killing at least 36 people Sunday in southern Mexico, the Veracruz state government reported. Both state and federal officials said that four people survived the crash, which occurred shortly after midnight in the southeastern state of Veracruz. A communique from the state civil defense agency said the vic- tims were business people from the region who were travelling from the Tabasco state capital of Villahermosa to Mexico City. The agency's emergency director, Ricardo Maza Limon, said that victims apparently burned to death inside the bus, which was so badly charred that the tires melted and the markings on its sides were unreadable. -Compiled from Daily mire reports CSG From Page 1A the University's Title IX coordinator regarding Gibbons' 2009 sexual misconduct as the sole complaint submitted on the subject. Gibbons was not found responsible until Nov. 20, 2013, beyond the usual 60-day deadline for beginning a sexual misconduct investigation. The findings also note a 2012-2013 OSCR Annual Report stating that one instance of sexual misconduct filed from that year remained "Unresolved: investigation in process." The task force could not confirm that this complaint was in reference to the Gibbons case but, if so, it would mean that more than a year passed before the University completed its investigation. Additionally, the task force found that OSCR and OIE were unable to handle all the reports of sexual misconduct by the beginning of the 2012-2013 academic year. The University acknowledged that it needed more staff to handle all the complaints. The report also read that according to the OSCR director, the OIE often was often unable to investigate complaints within the 60-day deadline. The University didn't hire a second investigator until 2014, far too long after acknowledging the problem of poor staff, the report stated. CSG President Michael Proppe, a Business senior, said this was more indicative of a broader problem of how the University deals with sexual misconduct cases and less likely an instance of an athlete being given special privileges to keep them eligible for play. "The University was regularly missing the 60-day deadline to investigate sexual misconduct and that delay could have undermined the confidence that survivors had in the process and may have kept people from coming forward," Proppe said. Thetaskforce alsodetermined that OSCR did not properly apply the Statement of Students Rights and Responsibilities - stating that the University "improperly prohibited student conduct retroactively," using the interim sexual misconduct policy or finalized but not the pre-2011 policy that would have been in effect when Gibbons' offenses occurred. The findings note that the differences in the new and old policies are fairly small and unlikely to change the OIE findings but wanted to make it clear the University could not retroactively apply new policies on old cases. In a statement, University spokesman Rick Fitzgerald said the University applauds CSG's investigation, as it shows the importance of the Student Sexual Misconduct Policy. "We appreciate that Central Student Government takes the issue of sexual misconduct seriously, as do we," Fitzgerald wrote inthe statement. "We hope the CSG's focus on these issues will lead to a greater awareness of the student sexual misconduct policy and even more survivors coming forward." Additionally, the task force could only determine that either OIE or OSCR did not properly communicate with the Athletic Department, the Athletic Department did not communicate with the coaches or else Hoke did indeed issue a false statement; they were not able to confirm one of these scenarios specifically. However, the report notes that representatives from the Athlet- ic Department do not believe the OIE failed to notify the depart- ment of a student-athlete being accused of sexual misconduct and it is the practice of the Asso- ciate Athletic Director to notify the head coach of the team of the player in question. When Michigan coach Brady Hoke said Gibbons would not play in the 2013 Buffalo Wild Wings game in December, Hoke said it was because of a "family matter." The task force report lists Proppe's recommendations, including that the University's Board of Regents and other administrators work to involve students in such policy matters. Also, it recommends that OSCR reviews all sexual misconduct cases occurring before the interim policy but under the proper policy applicable at the time of the offense and that OSCR files a report once they complete this review. Proppe also recommended more clear and published policies be developed in regard to student-athlete disciplinary information sharing between departments, as well as creating more straightforward policies with the Ann Arbor Police Department, the University Police Department, OSCR and OIE regarding sharing of student conduct information. STAMPS From Page lA The speakers of the event included Altruda, Chris DuPont, an Ann Arbor singer-songwrit- er; Jim Fleming, founder of Fleming Artists; Mike Green, co-owner of Mike Green and Associates; John Bommarito, radio host at Ann Arbor's 107.1 and Mike Vial, an Ann Arbor singer-songwriter. The speakers discussed how aspiring musicians can take the next step after entering the music industry. "Keep writing and keep put- ting music out there," Vial said. The panel also discussed how aspiring musicians can have their music featured on various radio stations. Vial suggested musicians CONTEST From Page 1A At the event, the student- run publication also sold baked goods to raise money for its MRelay team. Three teams of two to four people competed in four rounds of eating competi- tions, racing to eat hot dogs, donuts, bananas and plates of whipped cream. LSA sophomores Matt Gluck and DanaAbufarhawonthe food challenge, winning gift cards to Frita Batidos, Isalita and Mani Osteria. "I definitely feel disgusting now but it was fun, it was worth it," Abufarha said. "It was fun and I'm happy we did it. I'm proud of myself; I beat boys!" PRISONER From Page 2A of psychosis that happens in the solitary confinement." Senghor completed two novels in prison, which he noted was rare for an inmate. "I represent less than 1 percent of the solitary confinement population who's been able to make that leap," Senghor said. Since his release in 2010, Senghor has committed himself to giving other prisoners the opportunity to address problems that are often ignored. He started a program called Live in Peace in which he speaks to students in Detroit and addresses emotional issues he also grappled with. He subsequently won the Black Men Engagement of Leadership Award funded by the Knight Foundation, which invests in community innovation in American cities. This led him to the MIT Media Lab, an "antidisciplinary" research foundation. It was working in Detroit to address ways that technology could improve production of new businesses in the city. Senghor and another member of the Monday, April 14, 2014 - 3A start off small and use their time wisely. "Find your locals, and you build small and you build realis- tically," Vial said. Along with taking the next step and getting featured on a radio station, the speakers stressed the importance of keep track of finances. DuPont said it was important for musicians to spreadsheet all of their expenses, whether it is touring different towns or purchasing new music equipment. "If you do that, you'll see how much money you'll be making, and you'll be surprised," DuPont said. The event closed with a con- cert featuring various Ann Arbor musicians, including San Cristobal, Mike Vial, Brendan Asante and KhrispyK. Of the three teams that competed, many participants were AEPi brothers. Students watched and cheered as the participants gorged themselves on doughnuts and face-planted into plates of whipped cream. "It's definitely entertaining to watch boys be in an eating competition," said LSA sophomore Nicole Axelowitz, a member of the Spoon University public relations team. However, after a record- breaking winter, some students were just excited to enjoy the warmth. "It's great just being outside for the first time in months and having everybody happy and together and just doing something for good cause," Axelowitz said. MIT Media Lab created the Atonement Project, dedicated to bettering Detroit. "Detroit is a very, very complex city," Senghor said. "While there are a lot of amazing things taking place, there's still a very different reality that people are afraid to talk about and afraid to discuss. And that reality is that there are people living in communities who don't have access to anything, and there are police that just don't respond in these communities." They brought the Atonement Project to the University to engage with the Prison Creative Arts Project, an initiative collaborating with incarcerated people to strengthen creative expression. Students can take a class with Senghor and PCAP director Ashley Lucas. LSA senior Judith Rontal, one of Senghor's students, said Senghor emphasized a focus on antoning for one's actions and not judging someone on their current situation. "Perpetrators were often victim," Rontal said. "We try to bring this theme of reconciliation and atonement to our project, and the guys we work with are so brilliant with what they do with that." CAMPAIGN From Page 1A said he hopes to bring a voice for the students to City Council, but his goals for the city go beyond the interests of students. He said thatafterresearchingthecurrent state of local politics in Ann Arbor, he sees developmental and economic room for improvement, particularly in the way the council chooses to allocate its funds. "What started out my interest in this campaign was to represent the students that don't have a voice on City Council, but as I sort of researched the state of politics in Ann Arbor, I realized there are a lot of things I care about," he said. According to McMullen, there is potential growth and progress in areas of overspending on policehospital and incarceration needs in Ann Arbor. He added that there is a need for affordable housing and increased care for the poor and homeless in Ann Arbor, which was demonstrated MRELAY From Page 1A would regret not speaking." Though Jacobs had no experi- ence with Relay for Life before coming to the University, she became involved as a Team Captain during her freshman year. Her mother, who had been recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer, attended the 2011 MRe- lay and stayed with Jacobs over- night in the 30-degree weather. Kinesiology senior Sara Knysh, executive director of MRelay, said she also participated in MRelay because of her family's experiences with cancer. This year was Knysh's 12th year being involved with Relay for Life. The relay moved back to its usual location of Palmer Field on Hill Campus this year after taking place on Ferry Field in 2013. Knysh said the space at Palmer Field allows for more activities. This year's MRelay was Disney-themed: Partic- by this particularly harsh winter. "I think there are better ways we can spend our money in real ways Ann Arbor can stand behind," McMullen said. He added that relations between the University and the city would improve if he were elected to City Council and hopes to foster cooperation and communication, and use students at the University as a resource for the city. "There is a complete disconnect between the Ann Arbor community, the residents and the students, and I think that is a huge resource that isn't being used," McMullen said. "We have 40,000 students and if you get students involved, then real changes will happen and everyone stands to benefit." With the election of a new mayor and the retirement of University President Mary Sue Coleman, an opportunity for real change in Ann Arbor lies ahead, he said. "I think if the question of age comes up, I really don't think that the quality necessary for being a ipants checked in at Goofy's Reg- istration Tent and could continue through Hercules' Hope Tunnel to Cinderella's Stage. Mickey and Minnie Mouse appeared periodi- cally throughout the day. MRelay sponsors fundraisers throughout the year such as bar nights and restaurant events. For the past two years, MRelay has sponsored a fashion show with Rent the Runway, which offers rentals of designer dresses and accessories. This year, MRelay paired up with Ann Arbor restaurant guide Eat Blue. For the month of February, customers could choose to donate a portion of their bill to MRelay. Student organizations also fundraised at the event by selling food or hosting activities. The relay this year benefited from the warm weather. In the case of heavy rain, thunder or lightning, the event would have moved inside the Central Campus Recreation Building. LSA junior Chris Schaitkin, a member of the MRelay senior leadership team, said good representative comes with age," he said. "What it comes down to is that I care about Ann Arbor." In response to concerns about McMullen's abilities to manage being both a student and a City Council member, Councilmem- ber Sabra Briere (D-Ward 1) said she was optimistic about his potential for the city, but recog- nized the issues a student faces in running for the council. "The people who vote most heavily in the Democratic prima- ry are people over 50, so the chal- lenge that Sam faces is how to establish, for the people he meets with and talks with, that he rep- resents their views," Briere said. Of the five wards in Ann Arbor, all have at least one seat up for election this year. Nancy Kaplan, who is run- ning against Kirk Westphal for the open seat in Ward 2, and Leon Bryson, who will likely be running against incumbent Chuck Warpehoski (D-Ward 5), both officially obtained their required signatures for nomina- tion last week. he would have enjoyed the event regardless of the weather conditions. "My favorite thing every year is just being here as a participant," Schaitkin said. CHECK US OUT ON PAGE1IB IN TODAY'S NEW YORK TIMES!
