michigandaily.com Ann Arbor, Michigan CELEBRATING OUR ONE-HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR OF EDITORIAL FREEDOM The Michigan hockey team lost its chance to win a Big Ten title » INSIDE Heartbreak Monday, March 16, 2015 Zingerman’s co-founders to speak at Spring 2015 commencement By GENEVIEVE HUMMER Daily Staff Reporter The pair who produce Reuben sandwiches so famous that even President Barack Obama has gob- bled one down will now face a new challenge: crafting the perfect commencement address. University alums Paul Saginaw and Ari Weinzweig, the co-found- ers of Zingerman’s Community of Businesses, will jointly deliver the University’s Spring Commence- ment address at Michigan Sta- dium. The two will each be awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws, pending approval from the Uni- versity’s Board of Regents at Thursday’s monthly meeting. Saginaw and Weinzweig, both University graduates, founded Zingerman’s Delicatessen in 1982. The deli, which was started with a $20,000 bank loan and two employees, now employs more than six hundred people and rakes in annual sales close to $50 million. What has since become the Zingerman’s Community of Busi- nesses includes eight separate businesses: the deli, Zingerman’s Mail Order, Zingerman’s Bake- house, Zingerman’s Training Inc., Zingerman’s Coffee Company, Zingerman’s Roadhouse, Zinger- man’s Creamery and Zingerman’s Candy Manufactory. In a March interview with The Michigan Daily, University President Mark Schlissel said the co-founders have built a national model for how to run a responsible business. “The attractive thing about it is the way they’ve built their busi- ness,” Schlissel said. “They’ve kept it local, they have paid their employees a living wage, they have involved their employees in the management decisions about Non-profit partners with C.S. Mott, Beaumont hospitals in 18th annual event By EMMA KILBANE Daily Staff Reporter Standing for a cause was taken literally Saturday as hundreds of students remained on their feet for 24 hours during the Univer- sity’s 18th annual Dance Mara- thon. Participants raised more than $460,000 to support pediatric rehabilitation therapies for chil- dren with disabilities at William C. Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak and the University’s C.S Mott Children’s Hospital. The marathon edged past last year’s fundraising total, which drew more than $446,000 in dona- tions. “The importance of standing on your feet is to show your dedi- cation to the cause, that you’re willing to make this sacrifice for those that may have challenges that they face on an everyday basis,” Brian Dobmeier, DMUM communications chair said. “This is one day where you’re going out of your way to chal- lenge yourself.” However, participants were only required to stay on the dance floor for 24 hours, instead of 30, which they completed in previous Dance Marathon events at the University. Engineering senior Jayesh Srivastava, the DMUM execu- tive director, said the change was made to increase participation. “There was an aspect of 30 hours that we felt excluded peo- ple from everything that we have to offer,” Srivastava said. “What we feel and believe is that any- one who wants to contribute and GRANT HARDY/Daily LEFT: Ann Arbor resident Colin Northrup speaks about how Dance Marathon helped him at the 18th Annual Dance Marathon at the Indoor Track and Field Building Saturday.

Amicus briefs stream in ahead of April 28 oral arguments By JACK TURMAN Daily Staff Reporter After the U.S. Supreme Court announced in January it would hear a challenge to Michigan’s same-sex marriage ban, the court has scheduled oral hearings for April 28. Along with reviewing Michigan’s case, the Supreme Court will review similar cases from Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. The Supreme Court picked up the case after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit upheld the upheld Michigan’s same-sex marriage ban last November. The Sixth Circuit Court deci- sion reversed a March decision from the district court that A-list comedian discusses his upcoming film and TV projects By JASMINE RUSSELL-YEH Online Arts Editor Few would say that Vince Vaughn (“The Internship”) is an underdog in the world of comedy. From getting jacked off under the dinner table in “Wedding Crashers” to successfully fertil- izing 500 eggs in “Delivery Man,” Vaughn’s filmography boasts some of the most loved and hys- terically memorable comedies of the past 20 years. Yet Vaughn often plays exactly what he is not: the underdog. His latest endeavor, “Unfin- ished Business,” is no different. It’s the tale of a small-business owner, Dan Trunkman (Vaughn), who takes off to Europe with his associates, Mike Pancake (Dave Franco, “22 Jump Street”) and Timothy McWinters (Tom Wilkinson, “Batman Begins”), to close the biggest deal of their lives. Again, Vaughn takes on an unknown, original screenplay and plays the guy who’s just try- ing to figure it all out. In a con- ference call with The Michigan Daily, Vaughn discussed this ongoing trend of underdog-esque characters that he chooses to play. “I guess I relate more to the underdogs in life, personally. What I like about the movie is that these guys are in a position that they don’t like in life. They are involved in a job that they are not passionate about,” Vaughn said. “In a moment he pushes all in and thinks that things could be different. What’s fun is that Dave Franco’s character is very funny and unique and Tom Wilkinson is, it makes it root-able that you have a group of guys that are in a position where the stakes are high and you are rooting for them.” And that’s the formula for many of his films: take a guy who realizes the mundane quality of his life and wants to make some- thing of it, something of himself. From “Dodgeball” to “Wedding Crashers” and now “Unfinished Business,” this remains the case. The beauty of these characters is Student panel fields questions, discussses campus diversity issues By EMILY MIILLER Daily Staff Reporter Having anonymously sub- mitted questions beforehand, students gathered Sunday after- noon to discuss the role of race on campus and in society as a whole. Though the Angell Hall auditorium was far from full for the event, the conversation was open and extensive. LSA sophomore Leamon Wilson organized the after- noon’s activities, titled “Let’s Talk About: Race,” and facili- tated conversation by directing students’ questions to a panel of students involved in organi- zations pertaining to race rela- tions. Wilson is a member of the Global Scholars Program, a Michigan Learning Community and the event’s sponsor. The four student panelists included LSA senior Mishara Davis, president of the Universi- ty’s NAACP chapter; LSA senior Olubisi Ajetunmobi, president of the African Students’ Asso- ciation; LSA sophomore junior Haya Alfarhan, a member of Michigan Women of Color Col- COMMENCEMENT FILM INTERVIEW GOVERNMENT See COMMENCEMENT, Page 2A See DMUM, Page 3A ROBERT DUNNE/Daily LSA Senior Mishara Davis, Michigan Chapter NAACP President, speaks as a panelist at the Let’s Talk About Race discussion at Angell Hall Sunday.
