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.”

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.”
