Additionally, a proposal to fund the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center's market- ing materials and a resolution to amend the CSG budget to allo- cate funds to the Student Orga- nization Funding Commission were also discussed. A resolution proposed Nov. 28 to help fund the Golden Apple Award and the corresponding lecture was unan- imously passed as well. -5M The admissions resolution calls for CSG to show its com- mitment to a diverse campus by supporting on-site admissions in Detroit high schools. The student assembly has previously stated that it believes that this form of recruitment is effective in a resolution to increase minority student enrollment, which was passed during the Winter 2014 semester. In the on-site admissions pro- cess, admissions officers travel to high schools to interview students. Often in the same day or shortly after, an admissions officer reviews a student's appli- cation and tells them if he or she has been accepted. "It sounds like a well thought out plan," said Education senior Michael Chrzan, a School of Education representative. Other CSG members had ques- tions regarding why the Univer- sity does not currently have an on-site admissions process. Chr- zan, an author of the resolution, 5-m cited a 2002 Michigan Daily arti- cle in which Sally Lindsey, the associate director of admissions at the time, said the University does not hold on-site admissions because it has a "very competi- tive" admissions process. Though the University of Michigan-Dearborn has an on- site admissions process, the Ann Arbor campus does not. Other universities such as Michigan State University, the University of Iowa and Western Michigan University practice their own variations of on-site admissions. Some assembly members wished the resolution better defined the role CSG would take in the practice's implementation. "I just want to see some sort of a formulation of a plan of how we can actually get this policy insti- tuted because I think it is really important," said LSA Represen- tative Bardia Vaseghi, an LSA senior. Engineering representative Andy Modell, an Engineering senior, referenced the disrup- tion of last week's meeting of the University's Board of Regents by members of the group By Any Means Necessary and asked for the proposal to explicitly state that the resolu- tion would be peacefully imple- mented. BAMN members also expressed their support of on-site admissions during the meeting. "It was just the process (on- site admissions) that made us feel as that the university did want students from my school to come there," BAMN mem- ber Leanna Mulholland said, in regards to her own experience with on-site admissions at her Detroit high school. The legislation was referred to the resolutions committee and will be voted upon at the next CSG meeting. The other resolutions at the CSG meeting included a pro- posal to support SAPAC, which asked for $1,200 from CSG's leg- islative discretionary account 58 Greene, founded in 1993, is the second- oldest student a cappella group By STEPHANIE DILWORTH Daily StaffReporter Though the University has 16 a cappella groups, 58 Greene is confident they are a little dif- ferent. The group, founded in the basement of East Quad Resi- dence Hall in 1993, was named after the room in the East Quad where the founding members began practicing together. Since then, the co-ed, multicul- tural group aims to use their varying backgrounds to create a unique voice. "Multiculturalism has always been what we are and also something that we strive to promote through music perfor- mance," said 58 Greene Direc- tor Jillian Gray, an LSA senior. "That has been the main com- ponent of our legacy for the past 21 - almost 22 - years now." While Gray acknowledges that other groups value diversi- ty as well, she said they are the. only a cappella group on cam- pus that identifies multicultur- alism as part of their brand. Gray added that their musi- cal performances often aim to raise awareness of social jus- tice issues. 58 Greene performs annually at the MLK Children and Youth Day program on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. But the group has quirkier traditions, too. "Part of the ritual of starting every rehearsal is slapping the butt of the person next to you," Gray said. "We send it around, and then we send it back around every single rehearsal." This tradition is meant to loosen up everyone before rehearsal., "It's funny and lightens the mood and makes you comfort- able with people really quick even if you weren't before," Gray added The Greenies, as members call themselves, have an com- petitive yet informal fall audi- tion process. The process has the typical roundup of musical- ity tests; among them are vocal warmups, test ranges, sight readings and a solo audition. "Auditions are definitely intimidating and a little scary,",- Gray said. Grey said there is also a secret component of tryouts. "The final part of the audi- tion is something only we do and it's a way in which we get the personality out of people," Grey said. "We aren't just con- cerned with whether or not you can hold a tune but want to know 'do we want to spend 10 hours a week with you in rehearsal' and can you have fun with us." LSA sophomore Jin Kim, 58 Greene member, said the 58 Greene community is an important aspect of her life at the University. "58 Greene is my family," she said. "It is easy to get lost and feel lonely at such a big school, but Greenies have made me feel a part of a caring community." Kim added that 58 Greene is diverse yet united in their pas- sion for music. "We are such different peo- ple," Kim said. "People of dif- ferentrace, background, gender and preferences, but we come together to create great music and more importantly because we care for each other." LSA senior Schuyler Robin- son, 58 Greene musical director, expressed similar sentiments about the a cappella group. "58 Greene is incredible because it not only supports individual voices, both in and outside the group, but also harvests unity amongst this incredible group of people," Robinson said. The 14 Greenies perform twice a year in the fall semester concert in December and again for a spring concert in sum- mer. Gray said they retire songs every three semesters and pick up four new songs so that each concert showcases a different set of songs. The guys and girls have a chance to compete within 58 Greene with their annual tradi- tion of a guys-versus-girls sing- off during the fall concert. "We make a little competi- tion out of it," Gray said. "We rehearse separately and secret- ly for the whole semester and then we come together a week before our concert and perform for each other. And we always try to outdo each other. We are a co-ed group so it's fun for us to sometimes split up." In spite of the battle of the sexes, the group is close-knit - extending beyond their years at the University. At a recent reunion, more than 50 alumni came to Ann Arbor from all over the country. "Alumni (are) a huge part of our legacy," Gray said. "We really pride ourselves on really maintaining connections." to use for SAPAC advertising materials such as laptop stick- ers, water bottles and magnets that will be distributed at Win- terfest and SAPAC events. Requests for -funding also came from the SOFC resolu- tion. The legislation asked for funds from the reserve, com- mission discretionary and leg- islative accounts to allocate up to $27,281.04 to SOFC. Due to an increased request for fund- ing from student organiza- tions, SOFC is predicted to be short approximately $21,000 to $27,000. Both resolutions were referred to the finance commit- tee and will be voted on during the next CSG meeting. A
