Grad. student’s hybrid project
shown at Detroit Auto Show

Vehicles combine
durability of cars,
energy of bicycles

BY ALYSSA BRANDON

Daily Staff Reporter

The Flintstones’ foot-operat-

ed vehicles may not be so archaic
after all.

Cameron Van Dyke, a gradu-

ate student in the Penny W.
Stamps School of Art & Design,

is the creator of Future Cycles —
bicycle-automobile hybrids that
combine both the durability of a
car and the low-energy cost of a
bicycle. Two of his vehicles were
featured in the Detroit Auto
Show last week.

Van Dyke said his wife helped

inspire the project, in which he
designed two vehicles named
“Cyclone” and “Zeppelin” as part
of his master’s thesis.

“We’re both avid bicyclists,

so the idea that we could create
a vehicle that would allow us to

do the bicycling that we enjoy
but also get the things we needed
out of a car was one of the main
influences for the designs,” he
said.

Van Dyke said one goal of

the project was to create hybrid
vehicles that would be accept-
ed in a transportation culture
dominated by automobiles. This
thinking influenced the design
of “Cyclone,” which is meant to
capture both the likeness of early
modern vehicles and the style of
vehicles today.

“I wanted to make something

that is iconically car-like, so I
began by looking at Model-T’s,”
Van Dyke said. “I took some of
what I saw, and meshed it with
today’s current retro style of
vehicles to make it look like it had
been stamped out of a factory,
and have a high level of finish.”

Van Dyke mainly worked

alone
to
complete
both
of

the Future Cycles, though he
received grants from the School
of Art & Design. His wife assist-
ed with design and maintains
the Future Cycles website.

Van Dyke said he noticed the

University’s Solar Car Team’s
vehicle was on display while
visiting the Auto Show in past
years, so he decided to ask the
event organizers for permission
to display his Future Cycles. He
said visitors to the show provid-
ed positive feedback.

“We talked to hundreds of

people,” he said. “It was really
encouraging. We found that peo-
ple were really interested in the
vehicle because the idea that you
could drive a cheaper vehicle,
save money and have a health
benefit seemed to really resonate
with a lot of people.”

For now, Van Dyke says he is

focused on completing his thesis
for his master’s degree, though
attending the Detroit Auto Show
helped him brainstorm ideas
for new potential Future Cycles
designs.

Both of the Future Cycles

vehicles will be on display in the
Duderstadt Center gallery on
North Campus starting Feb. 24.

NAVIGATING JOBS
CAMPUS ACTIVISM

Students at the University of

California, Berkeley painted the
“Big C” — a large letter C engraved
in a hill near the campus — red,
green and black Monday in soli-
darity with recent movements
in the Black community against
racial profiling and police brutali-
ty, The Daily Californian reported.

Berkeley’s Black Student Union

helped organize the painting and
coordinated the colors to match
those of the Pan-African flag.

Gabrielle Shuman, co-chair of

political affairs for the BSU, said
the gesture was in part a response
to a campus climate survey that
reportedly states that 50 percent
of Black students feel “prejudged
by faculty based on their identity/
background.”

“It’s just a proud moment for us

to be able to see, ‘Wow, we claimed
that space,’ ” Shuman said of paint-
ing the Big C. “Obviously, painting
some colors isn’t going to drasti-
cally change anything — it’s not
going to solve all our problems or
necessarily accomplish all of our
goals. For us, this is really a sym-
bolic thing.”

Northwestern admissions

to engage with Native
American community

Northwestern University will

begin efforts to improve its rela-
tionship with Native American
communities by, among other ini-
tiatives, having its Office of Under-
graduate Admission reach out to
Native American students, The

Daily Northwestern wrote Mon-
day.

This change comes in response

to a report submitted by the uni-
versity’s Native American Out-
reach and Inclusion Task Force,
which was submitted to Provost
Daniel Linzer and University Pres-
ident Morton Schapiro in Novem-
ber. It includes recommendations
on how the university can improve
its relationship with Native Ameri-
can communities.

“We’re moving ahead on pret-

ty much all of these initiatives,”
Linzer said. “The recommenda-
tions were a great list of things to
look at, and we’re working with
the schools and the deans and fac-
ulty and admissions.”

counts Tuesday.

Award-winning filmmaker
talks inclusion, diversity

Yoruba Richen

discussed her new

documentary,
‘The New Black’

BY EMILY MIILLER

Daily Staff Reporter

Award-winning documentary

filmmaker
Yoruba
Richen

spoke
Tuesday
as
part
of

the
University’s
month-long

symposium honoring Martin
Luther King, Jr.

Inside
the
Michigan

League, Richen discussed her
documentary, “The New Black,”
which examines homophobia
in the Black community and
follows both people who support
and
oppose
LGBTQ
rights

within the community.

Throughout
the
lecture,

which was sponsored by the LSA
Campus Climate Committee,
Richen
emphasized
the

importance of campus activism
for issues pertaining to race and
sexuality.

She said she hopes her new

film increases awareness of
these
issues
and
promotes

community inclusivity.

“We all exist in the microcosm

of the larger culture,” Richen
said. “What may seem like a
small pocket of resistance in an
isolated community or a small
town or a single university
campus can help ignite so much
more.”

She described the nationwide

spread of last year’s Being
Black
at
the
University
of

Michigan movement, nationally
recognized
for
its
#BBUM

Twitter
campaign,
as
an

example of the ways in which
campus activism can influence
the national conversation on
race. She also said the rise of by
protests against police brutality
across the country exemplify
this power.

Richen said she hopes her film

is used to reach out to the Black
and LGBTQ communities.

“One can at least try to

foster change, try to be more
understanding,” she said. “That’s
what we all want: to be seen,
heard, accepted and respected.”

She
also
reflected
on

King’s activism around issues
pertaining
to
socioeconomic

class and militarization of the
government in addition to his
fight for racial equality.

“He was looking in a new,

more radical direction, and the

scope of his vision was wider
than it had ever been,” Richen
said. “That is the example that
I think we as citizens should try
to follow, one that recognizes
that we are many, many diverse
things and that all of them
deserve respect, acceptance and
full protection at this University
and under the law.”

LSA senior Youran Gui said

Richen’s emphasis on LGBTQ
activism resonated with her
experiences as an international
student.

“In Asia, they always hide

the fact that they’re LGBTQ,
they never told their friends or
their parents,” Gui said. “It’s
really touching. It’s also really
refreshing to see that kind of
documentary that can actually
raise people’s awareness.”

Joe
Salvatore,
an
event

organizer and associate director
of
the
University’s
Science

Learning Center, said he hopes
the lecture inspired students to
work towards a more inclusive
campus environment.

“We’re all trying to build a

better community at Michigan,”
Salvatore said. “We all want a
community that’s welcoming
and inclusive because that makes
for a better Michigan and a
better experience for everyone.”
