Rise in juvenile delinquency

at Rackham Auditorium on Saturday.
NEW YE AR , NEW SONG
Figures from Detective
George Simmons of the Ann
Arbor
Police
Department
revealed a steady rise in
juvenile delinquency in Ann
Arbor.
In 1954, 878 juveniles were
arrested for violating the law,
and the majority were male
and 16 years old.
AAPD officers said young
people tend to develop nega-
tive attitudes toward uni-
formed policemen, which
makes juvenile cases difficult
to mitigate.
To eliminate this bias
and keep kids off the streets,
Patrolman Chester Carter
and other members of the
police force arranged a year-
round program to develop
constructive
relationships
between officers and local
boys through outlets like
organized sports.
“One of our main jobs is to
get kids rid of the idea that
policemen watch every move
they make and that we are
only here to stop their fun,”
Simmons said.
38 years ago today
(February 23, 1977)
The vast majority of the
local chapter of the American
Federation of State, County
and Municipal Employees —
a workers’ union — rejected
a tentative contract agree-
ment with the University
and voted to strike until the
union was presented with a
“more agreeable” contract.
Over
2,300
University
service workers, including
cafeteria, hospital, custodial
and maintenance staffs went
on strike.
As a result, food opera-
tions
in
campus
dorms,
cleaning and maintenance
operations and some hospital
services were impacted.
A number of offices and
departments
were
subse-
quently notified that they
could recruit outside help if
necessary.

Debate on Zionism impacts
Israeli election campaigns
Social identity and inclusion
discussed at Ford School talk
Research finds
belonging is lowest
in residence halls,
academic settings
By ALYSSA BRANDON
Daily Staff Reporter
Topics related to self-identity
and inclusion drove the conver-
sation Friday afternoon in the
Ford School of Public Policy.
The Center for Public Policy
in Diverse Societies, an initia-
tive housed in the Public Policy
School, hosted “Social identity
and inclusion: Undergraduate
Experiences at the University of
Michigan” as part of its Diversity
Center Community Conversa-
tion series.
Sara Soderstrom, assistant
professor
of
organizational
studies, along with her team of
researchers — Social Work stu-
dent Dan Green and Rackham
students Sara Cohen and Terra
Molengraff, a former Daily pho-
tographer — discussed the find-
ings of their recent research
study on diversity and inclusion.
In an interview with The
Michigan
Daily,
Soderstrom
said the research team worked
together last year in a course on
higher education to design and
implement an early version of
what later became a fully funded
research project.
The group was interested in
the ways social identities, such
as sexual identity, race and
socioeconomic status, impact
feelings of inclusion at the Uni-
versity.
“The data they collected from
the class project was amazing,
and we felt like we should for-
malize it, expand it, learn from
it as a pilot, and that’s what
launched the research project,”
she said.
Once the research had been
formalized
and
subsequently
funded by the Diversity Center,
the group gathered data pri-
marily through a survey sent to
a random sample of University
students through the Office of
the Registrar.
The researchers also used
tweets from the Black Student
Union’s Being Black at the Uni-
versity of Michigan Twitter
campaign, commonly known as
#BBUM, and Michigan Daily
content — such as Michigan in
Color columns and Viewpoints
— to gather data about minority
perspectives on social inclusion.
During the last year, topics
related to inclusion and diver-
sity have received attention
from both the community and
the University administration.
Last week, University President
Mark Schlissel held a leadership
breakfast to launch a campus-
wide conversation on the topic
and has promised to roll out a
series of initiatives to diversify
the University and improve cam-
pus climate.
According to Soderstrom’s
presentation of the research
findings Friday, data indicated
residence halls and academic
settings are where students have
the lowest sense of belonging.
Greek life and party culture also
came up as places where stu-
dents reported they did not feel a
great sense of belonging.
Correspondingly,
students
often reported feeling a greater
sense of belonging at work and
at student organizations where
others around them shared simi-
lar interests.
The
research
study
also
showed white students feel less
accepted individually than they
believe white students on cam-
pus as a whole are accepted.

Prime Minister
Netanyahu faces
liberal opposition
JERUSALEM (AP) — What is
Zionism? The ideological ques-
tion, rooted in the 19th century,
has gained surprising urgency
in an Israeli election campaign
that seems more open than had
been expected.
Seeking to take votes from
the nationalistic right of Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
the relatively liberal opposi-
tion has rebranded itself as
the Zionist Union — sparking
a debate about a concept that
some considered resolved when
the Jewish state was declared
and widely recognized in 1948.
Since adopting the name in
early December, Isaac Herzog’s
Labor Party — bolstered by a
smaller grouping led by former
opposition leader Tsipi Livni —
has surged in the polls. They
are now running neck-and-neck
in the polls with Netanyahu’s
Likud.
The debate over who best
reflects the ideals of Zionism —
and who can most credibly lay
claim to its successes — has lent
an oddly philosophical hue to a
campaign that had been domi-
nated by more prosaic issues
such as budget scandals in the
management of the prime min-
ister’s residence. Along the way,
the stage appears to have been
set for a surprisingly climactic
vote on March 17.
On the left, politicians speak
of true Zionism as requiring
the establishment of peace and
equality in the land, including
by making peace with the Pal-
estinians and giving up land if
needed.
Netanyahu
has
mocked
his rivals as “the anti-Zionist
Union.” Backers of his Likud
tend to equate the term with
a strong Israel standing up to
its enemies, and with the West
Bank settler movement spe-
cifically.
Ideological
settlers
view themselves as true Zion-
ists, called upon to reclaim the
Holy Land in its entirety almost
regardless of the consequences.
Danny Danon, a senior Likud
parliamentarian, argued that
the opposition was weakening
Israel with excessive sympa-
thy for the Palestinians, alleg-
ing that some on the left have
praised refusal to serve in the
army or support the Arab view
that the founding of the country
was a catastrophe.
“Some in that camp are try-
ing to change the nature of Isra-
el and (use) the name Zionist
Union to hide some of the com-
ments made by their members,”
Danon said.
Hilik Bar, secretary-general
of the Labor Party, counters
that “we who are dealing with
the most important things in
society, aspire to reach peace
and speak to our enemies — this
is Zionism.”
