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

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.
