By AMRUTHA SIVAKUMAR Online Editor Editor’s Note: The Michigan Daily is piloting a new addition to our paper that will focus on living well on campus. Whether you’re a first year student living in the dorms or an upperclassman with a meal plan, navigating the dining halls can be daunting at times. There’s so much food, some of it may be unfa- miliar-looking, and there’s no one to stop you from eating just cook- ies for dinner. Sound familiar? Many students swipe into the dining hall with good intentions, and they know eating health- ily is a vital component of fueling their minds and bodies and being a responsible quasi-adult. The hard part seems to be maximizing resources and planning ahead in an environment with so many choices. Since 2012, a lot has changed with University Housing’s dining. The newly renovated South Quad and East Quad dining halls offer a new ambiance and increased options, while the elimination of trays and single-serving sizes of meals bring more portion control into daily eating. As I sat down with Director of Dining Steve Mangan and Lind- say Haas, culinary and nutrition support specialist at the Univer- sity, I discovered ways in which students living on and off campus could using campus dining halls as a means — rather than a barrier — to healthy decision-making. The FDA-recommended 2,000 calories can add up quickly when there’s an endless amount of pizza, French fries and ice cream in front of you every day and your mom and dad aren’t around to make you eat your veggies. On the other hand, hitting the suggested daily consumption volumes for vitamins and proteins can be challenging. MyNutrition, in some ways, is a solution. MyNutrition, an interactive online food search tool hostedon the University Housing website, gives students the ability to search and select their meals before going to the dining hall. By adding filters for nutrition, dietary preferences or allergens, it’s easy to pick out a sub- set of healthy foods from the array of culinary options offered in each of the University’s dining facilities. Mangan suggested that stu- dents also use MyPlate as a guide to ensure they’re eating a healthy, balanced diet. MyPlate, a nutri- tional guide instituted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, replaced the popular pyramid structure for food intake in 2011. MyPlate, as the name sug- gests, splits a meal off into nutri- tional categories by sectioning a standard plate. The tool suggests eating approximately 30 percent grains, 40 percent vegetables, 10 percent fruits and 20 percent pro- tein. A smaller circle off to the side represents dairy intake, according to PRWeb.com.

MEdAN hosted Prof. Frieda Ekotto, chair of the Depart- ment of Afroamerican and African Studies, who discussed the work of 20th century phi- losopher Frantz Fanon. She explored philosophical consid- erations surrounding his work, particularly those involving race and identity. “Questions of identity today are so problematic when peo- ple don’t have places to be,” Ekotto said. Fanon, known for his work studying the impacts of decol- onization, was a vocal sup- porter of the Algerian War of Independence, which spanned from 1954 to 1962 and resulted in Algeria’s liberation from France. Many historians say Fanon’s work played an major role in influencing political and social movements across the world. The idea for hosting a key- note speaker and community dinner originated during a meeting of the MEdAN execu- tive board. Nearly 60 students attended Thursday’s talk. Law student Emad Ansari said he attended the communi- ty dinner to hear Ekotto speak on these topics. “I think her biggest contri- bution here is to encourage stu- dents to think across historical contexts, and to follow ideas of identity and violence and apply them to the current time and to try and make sense of why violence occurs and how to respond to it with a peaceful solution,” Ansari said. As members of MEdAN began looking for speakers for their second community din- ner, the group focused on the theme of exploring the narra- tives of individuals or commu- nities of people. Ekotto came to mind when the group realized they also wanted to discuss the topic through the lens of the Middle East and North Africa. LSA sophomore Mekarem Eljamal, MEdAN logistics chair, said the idea of reclaim- ing one’s narrative was espe- cially interesting. “She has done work in Alge- ria, in Tunisia, she’s given lec- tures, and she’s done really interesting work on topics that MEdAN wants to focus on, so we just reached out to her and she came up with the idea of Franz Fanon in Algeria and the Algerian Revolution,” Eljamal said. Though the group holds bi- weekly discussions on iden- tity, MEdAN hopes to host more events and dinners in the future. LSA junior Haya Alfarhan, MEdAN outreach chair, said the group’s regular discussion sessions, called Chai Circles, present an opportunity to fos- ter an active community on campus. “What the Chai Circles do is Wheeler concert WHAT: Cheryl Wheeler is a woman of many musical personalities — romantic balladeer, observational humorist and committed activist.
