societal benefit,” Rupp said.

For the plan to be feasible, 

Carter said the devices must 
become more advanced.

“There’s 
potential 
if 
the 

technology advances far enough 
that the device is seamless to the 
driver experience,” he said. “It 
may not be that the first way to 
go for this is to mandate, it might 
be that maybe it’s a condition for 
getting a discount on your car 
insurance and it’s a voluntary 

action, or parents putting it in their 
teenagers’ vehicles.”

Public 
acceptability 
and 

technological advancement appear 
to be the two biggest obstacles 
to overcome, according to the 
researchers.

Rupp said the technology has 

the potential to become more 
socially acceptable than predicted.

“There have been a lot of surveys 

about how socially acceptable 
the costs are, and I believe in one 
survey 40 percent of people said 
they’d want an alcohol interlock 
device in their car if it were under 
$500,” he said.

professional hockey player Carl 
Hagelin, who notched 50 points in 
2009-10.

“I don’t think you can overes-

timate how important he’s been, 
especially in terms of goal scor-
ing,” said junior forward Andrew 
Copp.

Jumping out to a quick lead is 

something Berenson has preached 
to his team all season, but it con-
sistently failed to do so. So the 
Michigan coach put an even bigger 
emphasis on starting quickly this 
week, knowing that if his squad 
reverted back to its bad habits, 
there wouldn’t be another chance 
at redemption.

And right on cue, Michigan (13-

8-0-0 Big Ten, 21-14-0-0 overall) 
took control of the game from the 
get-go, creating the majority of 
the game’s scoring opportunities, 
while also limiting the Badgers 
(4-26-5-2, 2-16-3-2) to just five 
shots on goal in the first frame.

“They’re an unbelievable team,” 

said Wisconsin netminder Joel 
Rumpel. “But our guys battled 
hard. If a few bounces went our 
way and not theirs, it would have 
been a closer game, but I give them 
a lot of credit. They’re a very tal-
ented team.”

The Wolverines wasted no time 

starting where they left off in the 
second frame. Senior defenseman 
Andrew Sinelli found twine for the 
first time this season, throwing 
what looked liked a pass toward 
Rumpel before the puck deflected 
off a Badger defenseman’s stick 
and into the net.

The goal was certainly unchar-

acteristic for the Wisconsin senior, 
who Michigan coach Red Beren-
son called “one of the best goal-
ies in college hockey” earlier this 
week.

And it didn’t take long for the 

Wolverines to continue to make 
Rumpel look like just an average 
goalie. With just over 15 minutes 
remaining in the second frame, 
freshman 
defenseman 
Cutler 

Martin fired a shot from the slot 
that Hyman redirected for his sec-
ond goal of the game.

Berenson opted to start junior 

goalie Steve Racine, continuing the 
revolving door that is the Michigan 
goaltending situation. Sophomore 
Zach Nagelvoort started the last 
two games for Michigan before 
losing the starting job Thursday.

Berenson looked smart after 

the game, as Racine — who looked 
comfortable playing in Joe Louis 
Arena earlier this season dur-
ing the Great Lakes Invitational 
— looked like a bona fide starter, 
making 28 saves.

“It’s been back and forth all year 

between Steve Racine and Zach 
Nagelvoort,” Berenson said. “And 
I think Nagelvoort won a big game 
for us in East Lansing last week 
and then we lost the home game. 
I can’t tell you he lost it. But I just 
felt that Racine had probably the 
best part of his season at the GLI.

“And he came in and he gave us 

a life against Michigan Tech and 
then against Michigan State in the 
championship game. So I thought 
we would start with him. But we’re 
not through the weekend yet. But 
it’s a good start for Steve and a 
good start for our team.”

Wisconsin got on the board 

midway through the third peri-
od when the puck found its way 
through a massive net scramble, 
breathing life into the Badgers. 
Quickly after, Wisconsin had a 
5-on-3 opportunity but came up 
empty, shifting the momentum 
back to Michigan.

Just two minutes after, Larkin 

— the Big Ten Freshman of the 
Year — found the back of the net 
after skating coast-to-coast and 
beat Rumpel.

Junior forward Justin Selman 

capped the game’s scoring, beating 
Rumpel on his stick side and seal-
ing Michigan’s berth into a second-
round matchup against Michigan 
State on Friday.

“There have been some games 

in the past where we think we 
should’ve 
beaten 
(Michigan 

State),” Copp said. “It’s do or die.”

Added Hyman: “Playing State, 

and what happened with us last 
week, we still have that bitter taste 
in our mouth. We’re going to be 
ready to play tomorrow. There’s 
no bigger game than that. We’re 
going to get up for that.”

North Campus construction pro-
posals.

One 
included 
schematic 

designs for the North Cam-
pus Grove project, and granted 
the University authorization to 
award construction contracts for 
the renovation.

The existing North Campus 

lawn, which spans four acres 
and serves as the main outdoor 
gathering space on North Cam-
pus, will be improved to facilitate 
more opportunities for outdoor 
events, activities and displays.

University Planner Sue Gott 

said the project is essential in 
improving the North Campus 
atmosphere.

“As you know, this is a really 

sacred and iconic space for North 
Campus located in the heart of 
the core,” Gott said at the meet-
ing.

The renovations will create an 

informal amphitheater and add a 
new central plaza to the lawn, as 
well as walkways, seating, trees 
and improved lighting, water and 
electrical infrastructure.

In addition, Gott said the plan 

calls for a new sand volleyball 
court, built for both formal and 
informal recreation use, Wi-Fi, 
energy efficient lighting and a 
stormwater management system, 
which will absorb water that later 
moves into the Huron River.

The board approved the Grove 

project at their meeting last April; 
with Thursday’s approval, the 
design phase will move forward. 
Gifts and College of Engineering 
resources will fund the project.

The second item approved was 

a $13 million renovation of the 
North Campus Recreation Build-
ing, originally built in 1976. The 
project will add 18,000 square 
feet to the existing space — mak-
ing room for a new gymnasium, 
spaces for cardio and group exer-
cise and a new entry to the build-
ing.

In addition, the existing rac-

quetball courts, restrooms and 
locker rooms will be updated, 
along with electrical, heating and 
plumbing system upgrades.

The project’s design, which 

has been contracted to Integrated 
Design Solutions in association 
with RDG Planning and Design, 
will begin immediately.

The renovation is part of a larg-

er initiative to improve the Uni-
versity’s unions and recreational 
sports facilities.

In April 2013, the regents 

approved a $65-per-term student 
fee for facility renewal. The stu-
dent fee, which was administered 
to fund renovations of the Uni-
versity’s unions and recreational 
sports facilities, will fund the 
NCRB renovation.

Honorary degree recipient
The regents approved seven 

honorary degree recipients for 
the Spring 2015 Commencement, 
including Paul Saginaw and Ari 
Weinzweig. The duo will be this 
year’s commencement speakers, 
and are the co-founders of Zing-
erman’s Community of Business.

Zingerman’s Community of 

Businesses includes eight sepa-
rate businesses, employs over 600 
people and receives annual sales 
of close to $50 million. Saginaw 
and Weinzweig founded Zinger-
man’s Delicatessen in 1982 with a 
$20,000 bank loan.

President 
Barack 
Obama 

famously visited the deli last year 
and touted the company’s com-
mitment to responsible wages 
and benefits for employees.

“Zingerman’s is a business 

that treats its workers well, and 
rewards honest work with honest 
wages,” Obama told University 
students in a speech advocating 
higher federal minimum wage 
last spring. “And that’s worth cel-
ebrating.”

Former 
U.S. 
House 
Rep. 

John Dingell will also receive 
an honorary degree. Dingell is 
the longest-serving member of 
the House in history. During his 
tenure, he supported civil rights 
and progressive policies, voting 
for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 
and the Affordable Care Act, and 
chairing the House Committee 
on Energy and Commerce.

In November 2014, Dingell 

earned the Presidential Medal 
of Freedom, the highest civilian 
award a U.S. citizen can win. His 
wife, Debbie Dingell, succeeded 
him when he retired from his 
post in January of this year.

Other honorary degree recipi-

ents include award-winning jour-
nalist Robin Wright, author and 
economist Robert Shiller and 
Tadataka Yamada, former chair 
of the Department of Internal 
Medicine.

“The seven individuals sub-

mitted for approval are remark-
able in their achievements and 
impacts on our society,” Univer-
sity President Mark Schlissel said 
at the meeting.

Central Student 

Government report

CSG President Bobby Dishell, 

a Public Policy senior, gave his 
monthly summary of CSG affairs 
to the regents.

He explained that, after talking 

with University administrators, 
changing the Fall 2015 academic 
calendar so classes would end 
prior to Dec. 23 is not a possibili-
ty. This issue was highly contest-
ed last month, when a student 
group called Crush the Calendar 
created a petition that amassed 
thousands of votes in support of 
rescheduling classes so students 
wouldn’t need to travel home on 
Christmas Eve.

Dishell also spoke about fur-

ther developing a student honor 
code, and discussed securing 
discounted football season ticket 
prices for students who qualify 
for financial aid.

His main point, though, was 

to reflect upon the University’s 
mental health resources.

“I’d like to apologize for mis-

stating an argument I have made 
to this board in the past,” he said. 
“Previously, I had stated that 
there is nothing else that more 
Michigan students participate in 
than Michigan football … I now 
know, upon reflection and look-
ing at data, that the single thing 
that affects most students, that 
most students go through on a 
day-to-day basis, is their mental 
well-being.”

Dishell said 36 percent of 

students at the University have 
had some form of mental health 
counseling in the last year, and 
added that 21 percent still do 
currently. He said that the sec-
ond leading cause of death for 
people aged 15 to 24 is suicide.

“The frightening thing about 

this statistic is that over 15,000 
of our students have sought help 
in the past year,” he said. “That 
means they are even more affect-
ed by mental health and depres-
sion day in and day out. I am one 
of these students. I battle with 
depression every day of my life … 
today I am winning that battle. I 
was able to get help, and I still do. 
I would not be here before you 
today if I hadn’t.”

Dishell 
asked 
the 
board 

to 
examine 
the 
University’s 

resources, including Counseling 
and Psychological Services and 
the Depression Center, to further 
examine ways to fight mental 
health stigma.

Speakers discuss 

divestment from fossil 

fuels, sexual misconduct
During the meeting’s public 

comments section, LSA senior 
Katelyn Maddock, a student 
representative from the Sexual 
Assault Prevention and Aware-
ness Center, asked the board to 
encourage faculty to include the 
University’s Student Sexual Mis-
conduct Policy in course syllabi.

Maddock said including the 

policy in syllabi would educate 
students about the sexual mis-
conduct resources available on 
campus and engage faculty in the 
discussion about sexual assault.

“We have an incredible need 

for language like this on cam-
pus,” Maddock said, citing the 
high number of sexual assaults 
reported on campus last year.

In 2014, the University had the 

second highest total number of 
reported sexual assaults on col-
lege campuses.

Citing the University’s respon-

sibility to combat climate change, 
Scott Bloomberg, a third-year 

law student and member of the 
Divest and Invest Campaign, was 
one of three to speak on behalf of 
the organization.

Bloomberg touted a resolution 

that Divest and Invest members 
co-authored with CSG represen-
tatives, which calls for a commit-
tee to investigate the University’s 
potential for divesting from oil 
and coal companies.

He said the resolution indi-

cated campus-wide support for 
the mission of Divest and Invest, 
and said the campaign’s success 
was at the very least grounds for 
a one-on-one private meeting 
with either the Board of Regents 
or Schlissel.

“I think we’ve earned enough 

to be able to meet with you all as 
a group and I think that’s what 
we’d like as a next step,” Bloom-
berg said. “From what I under-
stand you meet behind closed 
doors at least once a month 
before the meeting and I think 
we’d really like to be invited to 
that or be invited to give a pro-
longed speech here.”

Members of BAMN, a group 

that advocates for affirmative 
action, integration and immi-
grant rights, also spoke at the 
meeting

BAMN’s 
demands 
include 

calls for on-site admission pro-
grams 
and 
the 
“10-percent 

plan,” which has been adopted 
in Texas. Under this plan, the top 
10 percent of every in-state high 
school graduating class is guar-
anteed admission to any of the 
state’s public institutions.

LSA freshman Sandhya Meda-

puram — who is running to 
serve as a CSG representative 
for BAMN’s political branch, 
Defend Affirmative Action Party 
— said the organization would 
shut down another regents meet-
ing if the group’s demands for 
were not met.

“BAMN and our representa-

tives with CSG under the Defend 
Affirmative Action party, shut 
down the Regents meeting last 
semester over a discussion about 
on-site admissions in Detroit and 
we will do it again if our demands 
aren’t met,” Medapuram said.

She added that BAMN hopes 

to adjust the University’s admis-
sions 
processes 
to 
increase 

minority enrollment.

“The 
way 
the 
University 

approaches admissions is indubi-
tably racist and that’s what we’re 
targeting,” 
Medapuram 
said. 

“A campus that admits a larger 
(number of ) minority students 
will lead to a better representa-
tion of the state of Michigan, Ann 
Arbor, Detroit and the American 
society itself.”

Sugerman contributed reporting.

young musicians and supports 
numerous programs to help pro-
mote performing arts.

He earned Bachelors of Music 

and Masters of Music in Violin 
Performance degrees from the 
University.

In a written statement, Regent 

Andrea Fischer Newman (R) 
called Dworkin an “exciting out-
of-the-box appointment,” noting 
his insistence on “breaking new 
ground” would serve the school 
well.

University Provost Martha 

Pollack wrote in a statement that 
Dworkin would lead the school 
with integrity, energy and enthu-
siasm.

“His lifelong commitment to 

excellence in arts education is 
widely recognized in the U.S. and 
abroad,” Pollack wrote. “Aaron 
brings exceptional experience 
with organizational governance 
and a style that is collaborative, 
inclusive and pragmatic.”

Dworkin was Gov. Rick Sny-

der’s appointment to the Michi-
gan Council for Arts and Cultural 
Affairs.

“Aaron has an impressive his-

tory of leadership experience and 
is respected by many in the arts 
community of not only Michigan 
but also the nation. His commit-
ment to culture, diversity and 
learning will be a great benefit 
to the University of Michigan 
and I am confident students will 
accomplish great things under 
his direction,” Snyder wrote in a 
statement.

Dworkin will succeed Chris-

topher Kendall, who has held the 
deanship since 2005. The Uni-
versity limits deans to 10 years of 
service.

During his tenure, Kendall 

secured funding and helped 
design the expansion of the Earl 
V. Moore Building, re-instituted 
major ensemble and interna-
tional touring and campaigned 
for extensive scholarship fund-
ing for SMTD students. He will 
continue as a professor at the 
University in the Department of 
Conducting.

“Seeing that we’ve fostered a 

relationship for a years now, it 
would be helpful if the relation-
ship was more communicative 
on both sides,” Chamak said.

Business junior Alex Adler, 

the chair of Hillel’s governing 
board, said he would like CSG 
to work on facilitating connec-
tions amongst student leaders 
from different organizations.

He proposed creating a lead-

ership program, or combining 
pre-existing leadership devel-
opment workshops.

“Empowering and develop-

ing leadership is a big one for 
us,” Adler said.

He also identified the student 

assembly’s efforts to combat 
sexual assault on campus as a 
potential area for growth.

CSG joined the national cam-

pus sexual assault prevention 
campaign, It’s On Us, in Sep-
tember. The student assembly 
also partnered with I Will, a 
student-run 
campaign 
dedi-

cated to sexual assault preven-
tion, to create a specific pledge 

for University students where 
signers promised to empower 
sexual assault survivors and 
become allies.

CSG also collaborated on the 

I Will campaign to facilitate a 
workshop on sexual assault in 
November.

“We’d really like to see CSG 

continue to make the strides 
that they started to make this 
year but really push the conver-
sation and make sure it reaches 
across all of campus,” Adler 
said.

Business 
junior 
Maddy 

Walsh, Panhellenic Association 
president, wrote in an e-mail to 
the Daily that she spoke to the 
executive candidates from both 
parties and they made it clear to 
her they would like to work to 
unite the campus through vari-
ous initiatives.

She wrote she believed this 

was particularly important to 
her group because one of the 
association’s goals for the year 
is to increase collaboration with 
other student organizations.

“It will be great to have CSG 

as a facilitator, partner, and 
advocate for a connected cam-
pus,” Walsh stated.

a stay of the decision requested 
by Michigan Attorney General 
Bill Schuette (R). The legality of 
these marriages was reaffirmed 
in a court ruling Feb. 4.

In a press release Thurs-

day, the first of these couples 
to marry, Glenna DeJong and 
Marsha 
Caspar, 
said 
they 

believed the legislation would 
help their community.

“We’re members of a small, 

exclusive club of same-sex 
couples who were able to marry 
during a brief window on March 
22, 2014, but we don’t want to 
be,” DeJong said. “We want to 
be members of an inclusive club 
that welcomes any same-sex 
couple who wishes to marry.”

Though the Supreme Court 

will be ruling on same-sex leg-
islation, Irwin, a co-sponsor of 
one of the bills, said he believes 
that Michigan should get a head 
start in changing legislation 
toward being same-sex mar-
riage friendly.

“We’re calling for marriage 

equality, it’s something that 
is long overdue in the state of 
Michigan,” Irwin said. “We’re 
hopeful that the Supreme Court 
will rule in favor of marriage 
equality which would certain-
ly help in Michigan — it can’t 
come quick enough.”

The proposed package of leg-

islation consists of the legaliza-
tion of same-sex marriage and 
several other bills to address a 
variety of policy issues, includ-
ing whether adoption agencies 
can bar same-sex couples.

If successful, the bill will 

ban adoption agencies from dis-
crimination based on religious 
beliefs and will open the doors 
to many same-sex couples who 
are interested in adopting.

“I think that if there is a vet-

ted, qualified adult that is will-
ing to raise a child, then we 
shouldn’t have any obstacles 
for them to be able to raise the 
child here,” Wittenberg said. 
“We have a lot of kids in the 
foster care system here, and we 
want to make sure that they’re 

adopted and that they are taken 
by a loving family.”

The package of bills also 

addresses issues such as allow-
ing same-sex couples to file 
state taxes jointly. Another 
bill, sponsored by Wittenberg, 
allows any couple, including 
same-sex couples, to keep their 
marriage licenses private.

Wittenberg said he, along 

with the other representatives 
and senators who proposed 
bills, hope to work legislatively 
with Republicans to push these 
bills forward.

“We’re all working together, 

and we’re hoping to work with 
some of the Republicans across 
the aisle,” Wittenberg said. “We 
would love to take care of it leg-
islatively. We’re hoping that we 
wouldn’t have to go the ballot 
but if that’s what we need to do, 
then that’s what we need to do. 
We’re going to try to drum up 
the support of our Republican 
colleagues and get as many peo-
ple on board as possible, and try 
to talk to them about this being 
a fairness thing and equality.”

Republicans — who led the 

charge for passing the original 
ban in 2004 — have traditional-
ly been less inclined to support 
the legalization of same-sex 
marriage. Republican majori-
ties currently control both 
houses of the legislature, which 
could present a challenge for 
the bill’s backers.

In response to the package of 

bills, Gideon D’Assandro, spokes-
man for Speaker of the House 
Kevin Cotter, said the House 
hasn’t received the bills yet, but 
plans to address the package 
with the normal process.

“Once we actually receive 

the bills, we’re going to refer 
them 
to 
the 
committee,” 

D’Assandro said. “Then our 
plan is to let them go through 
the normal committee process, 
which is that they go to com-
mittee and then the committee 
chair determines when they get 
taken up for a hearing and what 
the timeline is.”

He added that he couldn’t 

comment further until the 
House formally receives the 
bills.
