AKHIL MUNAGALA
Sophomore pursues music dream
RITA MORRIS/Daily
Dentistry student Tabita Filimon makes paper
cut-outs for a stop motion video in her sculpting
class in the basement of East Quad on Monday.
CUT IT OUT
LSA sophomore Akhil Muna-
gala is a rising hip-hop musician
from Northville, Mich. He has
been rapping for five years and just
released his first mixtape under the
name Mocha. The five-track set is
titled “95 til Infinity,” and the fea-
tured single “VIP” has more than
6,000 listens in its first month
online. Akhil is on a pre-medical
academic path and plans to major
in neuroscience.
Who are your musical inspi-
rations?
The reason I started rapping
was because of Nas. I heard his
song “One Mic” when I was in
fourth grade. I remember think-
ing, “Wow this is crazy, he’s spit-
tin’ a lot of real talk.” His music
really appealed to me. As a kid
I was a pretty shy person, and
I realized it helped for me to
let everything out by writing it
down. Eventually that translated
into music.
You just released a mixtape.
Could you tell me about that?
It’s called “95 til Infinity.” It’s
a five-song set. It’s pretty much
all of the songs I thought that I
needed to put out right now. It’s
my first mixtape, and I’m excited
to finally be able to put my work
into one cohesive project.
What is the best song you’ve
released so far?
Based on overall production I’d
say “VIP.” and the numbers show
it — it’s definitely become much
more popular than I expected
it to. Especially since there was
basically no marketing, I just put
it up on social media. Me per-
sonally, though, I like my song
“Til Infinity.” I feel like it’s more
of a personal song, and the flow
is cool. It’s more hip-hoppy and
doesn’t sound mainstream.
Why have you chosen to
study medicine?
I’ve always wanted to be a doc-
tor. I was really into science as a
kid. What really made me want to
follow this path, though, is having
seen so many people, especially in
Detroit, that are suffering and get
very little medical attention.

Officals plan for
rescue loans amid
collapsing economy
ATHENS,
Greece
(AP)
— Caught between its own
defiant
campaign
pledges
and
pressure
from
credi-
tors, Greece’s left-wing gov-
ernment will deliver a list
of reforms Tuesday to debt
inspectors for final approval
of extended rescue loans, offi-
cials said.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsip-
ras was already facing dissent
within his left-wing Syriza
party over claims it is back-
tracking on its recent elec-
tion-winning promises to ease
budget cuts for the recession-
battered Greeks.
Two officials linked to the
government said the list will
be sent to Brussels early Tues-
day and be reviewed at a tele-
conference of the 19 eurozone
finance ministers later in the
day.
They spoke on condition
of anonymity either because
he wasn’t authorized to make
comments or because of the
sensitivity of the negotiations.
Greece and bailout credi-
tors have been in a standoff
since Prime Minister Alex-
is Tsipras’ left-wing Syriza
party won general elections
last month on a pledge to tear
up bailout agreements and
seek a massive write off of
bailout debts, totaling 240 bil-
lion euros ($271 billion).
But they reached a tentative
agreement Friday to extend
the country’s rescue loan pro-
gram by four months, avoiding
the risk of a Greek default and
exit from the euro currency.
The
government
official
said reforms would focus on
curbing tax evasion, corrup-
tion, smuggling and exces-
sive bureaucracy while also
addressing poverty caused by
a six-year recession.
A Syriza official in Brussels
said that “immediate priority”
would be given to the settling
of overdue debts, the protec-
tion of people with mortgage
arrears as well as the ending
of foreclosures of first resi-
dencies.
“Creditors will be skepti-
cal. These are notoriously
difficult reforms and, in the
case of the latter, usually cost
money,” said Megan Greene,
chief economist at Manulife
Asset Management.
“It will be difficult for the
Greek government to provide
concrete measures for achiev-
ing these goals, and they will
almost certainly be unable
to achieve much before the
next round of negotiations in
June.”
Tsipras is also facing pres-
sure within his party.
Several prominent Syriza
members have publicly said
the party should honor its
campaign promises.
Tamas Gombosi on
his personal journey
through the
solar system
By SAMIHA MATIN
For the Daily
Engineering Prof. Tamas Gom-
bosi lectured on what he called
his “personal journey through the
solar system.”
Gambosi lectured in Rack-
ham Amphitheatre Monday upon
receiving a named professorship
in the Department of Engineering
— the Konstantin I. Gringauz dis-
tinguished University Professor of
Space Science.
Gambosi directs of the Center
for Space Environment Model-
ing and founded the University’s
doctorate program in space and
planetary physics and the master’s
program in space engineering.
Throughout his career, he
made scientific contributions to
the fields of planetary exploration
and the physics of space and the
planets.
University
President
Mark
Schlissel
opened
the
lecture
by congratulating Gombosi for
his dedication to teaching and
research.
“As a space physicist, Profes-
sor Gombosi has contributed sig-
nificantly to space and planetary
physics and in revolutionizing
space weather research,” Schlis-
sel said. “His accomplishments
include developing the first time
dependent model of terrestrial
polar winds flowing from the ion-
osphere to the magnetosphere.”
The son of Hungarian Holo-
caust survivors, Gombosi credited
his sense of persistence to his fam-
ily background.
Gombosi
earned
his
mas-
ter’s and doctorate degrees from
Loránd Eötvös University in
Budapest in 1970, where he met
space pioneer Konstantin Grin-
gauz. Gringauz later became his
mentor as Gombosi completed his
postdoctoral research at the Space
Research Institute in Moscow.
While in Russia they studied
the impacts of solar winds on the
charged spheres of Venus.
“I was just a kid from Hun-
gary back then,” Gombosi said. “I
stepped out of my comfort zone.
Coming from Hungary, where this
was no space program, to the Rus-
sian Space Research Institute, it
felt like heaven.”
Considered an international
diplomat in the world of science,
he is also renowned for working
with a diverse group of scientists
from around the world.
In 1980, he worked for the Sovi-
et Union’s first major international
planetary mission, the VEGA
mission. Since joining the Univer-
sity faculty in 1987, Gombosi has
worked on sending the Rosetta
satellite to comet Churyumov-
Gerasimenko and developing soft-
ware to monitor space weather.
Still, Gombosi said he is most
enthusiastic about teaching.
“We have learned everything
from our mentors,” Gombosi said.
“The scientific community can
only reach milestones if we too
mentor our future generation stu-
dents. We don’t carry out research
for money though. You should
only do it if you enjoy.”
Dogacan Ozturk, a Ph.D. candi-
date in Atmospheric, Oceanic and
Space Sciences, said as an interna-
tional student, he found Gombosi’s
speech inspiring.
“Attending this lecture really
showed that your background
didn’t matter if you have pas-
sion for it,” Ozturk said. “He’s a
remarkable professor.”
