He graduated from the University of New Mexico in 2002, completed his master's in cinema and media studies at the University of California, Los Angeles in 2004 and received his Ph.D.from UCLA in 2009. Whatproject are you working on now? I have a book coming out in in April; it's called "Mexico on Main Street." It's a study of Mexican film culture in Los Angeles before World War II. It's essentially looking at the ways in whichthegrowth of the Mexican population in Los Angeles, the birth of Hollywood and the rise of Mexican cinema are all related to eachother. What Mexican film culture in downtown Los Ange- les, which included everything from live theatre to newspaper criticism to the exhibition of films, how that was a place where Hollywood and Mexican cinema interacted. What influenced you to get involved in your field of study? I grew up in Central Texas and learned Spanish at a pretty young age. I just became more and more interested in culture, literature, art, Spanish-language music and film. For my undergrad degree, I decided to study Latin American cinema and so I followed that path and kind of became obsessed with Mexican cinema, but in the process of learning about that, I became interested in the theaters in the U.S. that showed Mexican cinema. The people that I talked to that were watching movies in the 1940s and '50s sometimes remembered the movies, but most frequently remembered the expe- rience of going to the theaters. I wanted to write about that expe- rience and that dimension of it. - EMILIE PLESSET Newsroom 734-418-4115 opt.3 Corrections corrections@michigandaily.com Arts Section arts@michigandaily.com Sports Section sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales dailydisplay@gmail.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com News Tips news@michigandaily.com letters to the Editor toredaily@michigandaily.com Editorial Page opinion@nimhigandaily.com Photography Section photo@michigandaily.com Classified Sales classified@michigandaily.co Finance finance@michigandaiy.com Nick Ellis, professor of psychology and lioguistics, discusses the changing landscape of research publishing at Hatcher Graduate Library on Monday.

Beyond the costs of rent, utilities and Internet access, managing a food budget can be difficult, especially when a minimum two-term off-campus meal plan costs $1,900. According to a survey con- ducted by the University student organization Student Food Co., 40 percent of University students face food insecurity or a lack of access to nutritious food. Understanding that many off-campus students face this challenge, Business junior For- est Burczak and Business sopho- more Wesley Zhu launched the University's first student-run food pantry last year. Both Burczak and Zhu are members of the University's chapter of Enactus, an inter- national nonprofit that aims to use entrepreneurship to improve quality of life for those in need. After spending one semes- ter pitching their idea to Food Gatherers, a nonprofit food bank in Ann Arbor, the project kicked off in the Winter 2014 semester with a pilot event at First Baptist Church of Ann Arbor on East Washington Street. Organizers distributed food collected from local grocery stores that would have otherwise been wasted. H--,0 The program attracted mostly graduate students with chil- dren. The most recent food distribu- tion event on Nov. 5 drew about 10 attendees, again mostly grad- uate students. Looking back on the first two events, both students said they are now focusing most of their efforts on promoting their proj- ect to the student body. "We are working a lot on marketing right now. We want Diag flyers, get a Diag board and also get them on bus signs," Zhu said. Burczak said a social media presence is also important. "We made a page for the event and we try to get enough people to like it so that the next time, we don't have to do flyers each time we hold an event," he said. During the first stage of their project, Burczak and Zhu sought advice from Nate Smith-Tyge, founder and director of the Michigan State University Food Bank, the first student food pan- try in the United States. In an interview with USA Today, Smith-Tyge said more than 50 institutions of higher education have programs that distribute food to those in need. Smith-Tyge said he rarely encountered universities while working with Burczak and Zhu that weren't entirely supportive of the projects. However, Zhu said the group experienced several challenges implementing the project at the University. He said the Office of Financial Aid declined to list the program in its newsletter and the group had trouble find- ing faculty members to support the project. Enactus maintains a goal of holding two food distribution events per month.. Organizers are collaborating with Student Food Co. to help them promote the events, as well as with stu- dent community service orga- See PANTRY, Page 3 SAM MOUSIGIAN/Daily Sally Oey, a professor in the department of astronomy, speaks at the SACUA meeting in Fleming Monday. SACUAtackles smal pr ojects before break Governance board discusses student- athlete standards behind closed doors By STEPHANIE SHENOUDA Daily News Editor As students and faculty alike, count down the hours until Thanksgiving Break, the Sen- ate Advisory Committee for University Affairs convened for its weekly meeting in the Regents .Room of the Fleming Administration Building. After status reports on a number of continuing projects and initiatives - including fit- ness for duty standards for the Advisory Board on Intercolle- giate Athletics confidentiality' agreement - were delivered, SACUA delved into discussion about the LSA Grievance Prot cedures. The discussion revolved around the creation of a memo' explaining the proposed pol- icy, and the members deter- mined that an explanation of the existing policy will be pro- vided. SACUA voted to endorse the memo and invited LSA faculty members to review the grievance policy, provide feed- back and provide a copy of the memo to LSA Dean Andrew Martin, per his request. Following that decision, SACUA member David Smith, a John G. Wagner Collegiate professor in the College of Pharmacy, brought forth draft statements related to the responsibilities of individual faculty members in the college and potential corrective proce- dures in the event of underper- formance. Though the agenda was approved before the meeting started, SACUA ultimately decided to move the discussion about admission standards for student-athletes to the execu- tive session, closing it off to the public and members of the press. While some mem- bers thought an open discus- sion was appropriate because individual students' names or information wouldn't be divulged, SACUA member Sil- ke-Maria Weineck, a professor of German studies, motioned to make the issue private after receiving feedback from stu- dent-athletes herself. "I've had conversations with a number of athletes and they feel that the way this is being discussed{always includes all of them, and they feel very hurt by certain things that are being said," Weineck said. "I don't blame them and I would like to avoid that. There's been consider- able harm to about 900 to 1,000 students and I would like to not repeat that." Due to internal scheduling conflicts, SACUA unanimously voted to cancel the meeting they had previously scheduled for Mon., Dec. 1, though the group will session before the meeting of the Senate Assem- bly on Dec. 15. 0
