Main 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. TUESDAY: Campus Voices THURSDAY: Twitter Talk FRIDAY: Photos of the Week MONDAY: This Week in History WEDNESDAY: In Other Ivory Towers 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.” — MICHAEL SUGERMAN Berkeley students paint landmark SAM MOUSIGIAN/Daily Yoruba Richen, award-winning documentary filmmaker speaks about her film The New Black at Mendelssohn Theater 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.” BRIAN BECKWITH/Daily Jonathan Moore, University alum and the special assistant to the assistant secretary at U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, during the LGBTQ employment law panel at Weil Hall Tuesday.
