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. —NEALA BERKOWSKI Adrian Matejka WHAT: Adrian Matejka, an award-winning writer and poet, will do a reading.

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.

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.” See INCLUSION, Page 3A
