61 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK (FEB. 25, 1954)

Rise in juvenile delinquency 

ROBERT DUNNE/Daily

Wuhan Conservatory of Music Vocalist Yu Huicheng performs 
Hubei Folksong at the Musical Celebration of Chinese New Year 
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.

diversity and inclusion at the Ford School of Public Policy on Friday.

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.”
