SEXY SUPPLIES
STUDENT LIFE

In response to changing alcohol

policies at peer institutions, Duke
University administrators have
stood by the school’s approach of
barring student events from serv-
ing alcohol, The Duke Chronicle
reported Monday.

Two weeks ago, Dartmouth

College implemented a campus-
wide ban on hard liquor, follow-
ing a trend set by other schools
including Bowdoin and Bates
College. These policy changes
reflect the goal of administrations
to curtail dangerous behaviors on
college campuses nationwide.

Duke students seem to agree

with the administration’s choice
to maintain the school’s current
policy. When asked whether they
believe harsher policies could

be beneficial, many students
expressed doubt.

“I don’t know how they would

control that,” freshman Mirko
Tancredi said in an interview with
The Duke Chronicle. “I feel like if
we were to do that it wouldn’t cut
down consumption as much as we
would like or think.”

UChicago shifts payroll

Beginning in the fall of 2015,

University of Chicago students
will be unable to simultaneous-
ly work as teaching assistants
and lab assistants, The Chicago
Maroon reported Thursday.

In January, the university

moved from the UChicagoTime
payroll system to a new system

called WorkDay. By calculating
student pay on an hourly basis
rather than through lump sums,
the new system has created a
situation in which students hold-
ing both positions are exceeding
the maximum number of allowed
work hours.

According
to
UChicago

spokesperson Jeremy Manier,
“(The university) now (has) a
more accurate picture of the
overall magnitude of students’
work effort, and that information
has compelled us to review how
student work hours are estab-
lished and monitored to ensure
they are in compliance with the
limit on overall effort.”

Grammys recap

BY DANIELLE RAYKHINSHTEYN

THE FILTER

From Taylor Swift’s danc-

ing to Annie Lenox and Hozi-
er’s “I Put a Spell on You”
collaboration,
this
year’s

Grammy awards had several
memorable moments.

CSG hears pitch for new
fight song , ‘Hail and Unite’

Meeting also

features training on
addressing active
shooter situations

BY LEA GIOTTO

Daily Staff Reporter

“The Victors” could soon have

a modernistic younger sibling.

If a resolution presented to

the Central Student Government
Tuesday night passes, the body
will provide funding to a group
of students looking to develop an
additional thematic song to play
at University athletics games.

In
addition
to
discussion

of the resolution, the meeting
also
included
an
interactive

presentation on reacting to an
active shooter.

Business sophomore Adam

Weiss, a representative on the
CSG Assembly, spoke on behalf
of the song campaign, which
he called “Hail and Unite.” He
said his friend, LSA senior Mike
Weinberg, conceptualized the
project.

“This project is meant to be,

number one, extremely unique,”
Weiss said. “The goal of this song

is to get a lot of big names that are
associated with the University.”

He added that the project

would also be backed by a crowd-
funding campaign, which is
tentatively set to launch next
month.

The
Hail
and
Unite

organization
asked
CSG

to allocate $2,750 from its
Legislative Discretionary Fund
to the project: $1,750 would go
toward funding for a promotional
video to recruit donations from
students,
and
$1,000
would

go toward “speaker fees,” or
accommodations for potential
visiting contributors.

While the song’s lyrics and

tune are still undetermined,
Weiss said it is the organization’s
aim to involve big names in the
music business and University
alumni to contribute to the song.
For example, he said Weinberg
wants to get Eminem involved.

Weiss also said that David

Banner, a rapper and music
producer, has already agreed to
produce the final product.

Numerous
representatives

voiced uncertainty about the
project because they felt its
initial budgetary breakdown and
ultimate goals were not clear
enough to elicit funding. Others
voiced concerns that it lacked the

philanthropic value of student
organizations that had received
funding in the past, like MUSIC
Matters or optiMize.

After it was suggested that

a more detailed budget for
the project be disclosed to the
assembly, the resolution was
sent to the finance committee for
review.

The
other
important

focus
of
Tuesday’s
meeting

was a presentation on active
shooter
situations,
delivered

by
University
Police
Officer

Matthew Butzky.

Butzky emphasized that in a

situation where an active shooter
is present, one has three options:
run to a safe location, hide and
attempt to barricade your space
or fight to repel the threat.

“You’re not stuck in any one

decision. This is fluid,” said
Butzky about the three options.
“If you can remove yourself from
a dangerous situation, do it. Get
out. It’s a simple solution, but
people overlook it.”

Butzky delivered a similar

presentation for the first time
to a University undergraduate
lecture last month. Previously,
the Division of Public Safety
and
Security
delivered
the

presentation upon request to
campus units.

Program provides
discounts at local
businesses for not
checking phone

BY NABEEL CHOLLAMPAT

Daily Staff Reporter

If pricy college tuition was not

incentive enough to pay attention
in class, a new app is aiming to
increase the stakes.

Pocket Points, a mobile appli-

cation developed by students at
California State University, or
Chico State, launched at the Uni-
versity last month. The app allows
students to lock their phones dur-
ing class, and the amount of time
locked corresponds to a number
of points that redeemable for dis-
counts at local establishments.

The app was founded by Chico

State students Rob Richardson
and Mitch Gardner in the fall, and
has now expanded to a number of
schools across the country. The

application uses location-based
services to tell when a student is
in class to prevent “cheating,” or
looking at one’s phone.

LSA senior John Prickett,

campus representative for Pocket
Points, is a friend of the found-
ers. Though professors often state
on their syllabi that points will
be taken off for the using phones
in class, he said those policies do
little to deter students.

“In the majority of classrooms,

there never seems to be a respect
of the trust between the teacher
and the kids,” Prickett said. “My
parents pay a lot for me to come
here, and for me to come to class
and sit on my phone for an hour
and a half, what am I really get-
ting out of that?”

According to Prickett, the

application began at Chico State
as a tool through which professors
could award extra credit for good
phone behavior. After failing to
attract enough users, the founders
discovered that offering discounts
at local restaurants was much
more effective as an incentive for
students to use the application.

“It was sort of a pivotal moment

for the app,” Prickett said. “They
realized they weren’t getting the
reaction they wanted to from the
extra credit side, and who doesn’t
like getting free discounts on food
for paying attention in class?”

Prickett said Ann Arbor restau-

rants are currently on a trial peri-
od with the application, meaning
it will be free for businesses to
participate for the semester. The
restaurants currently included
are Pita Pit, The Brown Jug, The
Blue Leprechaun, Comet Coffee,
Get Some Burritos, Hunter House
Hamburgers, Pita Kabob Grill,
Pita Pit, Sottini’s Sub Shop and
Tropical Smoothie Café.

Richardson and Gardner also

recently added a feature that
increases the rate of points accu-
mulated if more students are
using the program, thus incen-
tivizing word-of-mouth between
students.
