DANIEL GANTMAN
LOL ROFL gets last laugh
DAVID SONG/Daily
Violinist Tsu-Hao Kuo plays Bach’s Fuga from Sonata
No. 3 at Britton Recital Hall on Monday.
SONATA NO. 3
Business senior Daniel Gant-
man, is the president of the LOL
ROFL Comedy Club. The club
members meet weekly in Mason
Hall to practice their stand-up
comedy skills and skits. They
host regular performances at
BTB Cantina as well as end-of-
the-semester shows.
What kind of subjects do you
like to take on during your
stand-ups?
There’s definitely stuff about
myself, but really it’s just what
I hear and absorb and I write
down in my notebook. I don’t
know, anywhere from mosqui-
toes to McDonald’s to tattoos.
What is your favorite joke
to perform?
I have one that is kind of
just nonsense. It doesn’t really
make sense. At least everyone is
confused when I am saying it and
then it … kind of comes together
in the end. I like that. More of the
abstract jokes. Kind of like per-
formances that you don’t really
think are going well and then
end up going well. Rather than
jokes that are, “This is difference
between men and women.”
What’s the hardest part about
doing stand-up?
If you asked me that my fresh-
man year, it would have been just
going up and trying to tell your
jokes and realize that you don’t
know what you are doing. Now it’s
just the time. I mean, in order to
make it in stand-up or to actually
be a confident stand-up comedian,
you have to perform at least three
times a week.
What’s the best thing about
being in the club?
All of my best friends are at
ROFL. I don’t know what that
says about me. Just meeting peo-
ple who love comedy as much as
you do, especially stand-up com-
edy, is really cool because other
people are really boring. These
people are hilarious.

Ann Arbor based
newsletter targets
young professionals
on seven campuses
By LINDSEY SCULLEN
Daily Staff Reporter
Young business professionals
frequently reach out for a cup of
coffee each morning in need of
energy. Creators of The Morn-
ing Brew, a new free, daily busi-
ness newsletter, hope young
business professionals will seek
their product for a similar rea-
son.
Launched at the University
in March, The Morning Brew
is an e-mail newsletter that
targets young, current or aspir-
ing business professionals. The
e-mail arrives in subscribers’
mailboxes at 6:30 a.m. Monday
through Friday. It takes about
five minutes to read and is what
founders call a “one-stop shop
for everything business.”
“We hope that our subscrib-
ers will read The Morning
Brew every morning and get
their day going,” said Business
sophomore Austin Rief, chief
operating officer of The Morn-
ing Brew. “People who get their
daily fix of caffeine with a cup
of coffee will get their daily fix
of business knowledge to help
them throughout their day.”
After conducting an adver-
tisement campaign at the Uni-
versity, Rief said The Morning
Brew has accumulated about
1,500 subscribers and has
been read in 35 states and in
over 10 countries, thanks pri-
marily to students studying
abroad.
The Morning Brew launched
a campaign Monday to expand
to seven additional univer-
sities — Indiana University,
University of Southern Cali-
fornia, New York University,
University of Pennsylvania,
University of California, Los
Angeles, Northwestern Uni-
versity and the University of
Maryland.
The Morning Brew’s team
is offering a monetary incen-
tive for the school that obtains
the most subscribers. The team
has produced and distributed a
marketing guide, which details
the results of their experience
marketing at the University
and offers suggestions for rep-
resentatives at their respective
schools.
“Our plan is to grow this
in the college market,” said
Business senior Alex Lieber-
man, founder and CEO of The
Morning Brew. “And then,
come summer, bring this to
all of the internship summer
analyst classes in these major
business cities — whether
that’s L.A., Chicago, Miami,
New York.”
The ultimate goal, he said, is
to expand the newsletter to the
general business world organi-
cally by way of graduating
University students’ word of
mouth, and also through mar-
keting strategies.
“Once we feel like we’ve
tapped the college students, the
college market, at that point
down the road we want to basi-
cally get all of the business pro-
fessionals say, below the age of
25 — the analyst who’s working
in an investment bank for 14
hours a day and only has five
minutes to read his news on the
subway,” Lieberman said.
Taking on a format similar
to popular e-mailed newsletter
The Skimm, The Morning Brew
has four distinct sections on its
interface.
The first section is called
Market Corner. The caption
reads, “Glimpse into the U.S.
financial markets.” This sec-
tion holds four to five stories

to increase readership
SACA agrees to
offer resolution in
support of ad-hoc
committee
By CARLY NOAH
Daily Staff Reporter
The Senate Advisory Com-
mittee for University Affairs
decided Monday to present a
proposal supporting the cre-
ation of a University committee
to consider divesting from com-
panies allegedly involved in the
violation of Palestinian human
rights.
During the meeting Monday,
SACUA voted to present the
proposal for consideration at
next week’s Senate Assembly
meeting.
A similar proposal was pre-
sented to Central Student Gov-
ernment last month by Students
Allied for Freedom and Equal-
ity, the University’s chapter of
Students for Justice in Pales-
tine. SAFE is a student group
that advocates for Palestinian
solidarity on college campuses.
The
divestment
proposal
requested that CSG support the
creation of a committee through
the
University’s
Board
of
Regents to evaluate the Univer-
sity’s investments in The Boeing
Company, Caterpillar Inc., G4S
and the United Technologies
Corporation. SAFE argues these
companies profit from alleged
human rights violations against
Palestinians.
CSG voted down the proposal
last week.
SACUA Chair Scott Masten,
a professor of business econom-
ics and public policy, said he
opposed bringing the proposal
to next week’s Senate Assembly
because he did not think SACUA
should hold a singular opinion
on policy.
“There’s scope for a lot of
disagreement,” Masten said. “I
think there’s a huge variety of
opinion.”
Ecology
and
Evolutionary
Biology Prof. John Lehman,
SACUA member, said the only
natural course of action was to
form a coalition between stu-
dents and faculty to consider
the issue.
“What we do is have some
type of a task force that engag-
es with the students and see
if there is a common ground,”
Lehman said. “I don’t have a
problem with that, and I feel
like there are faculty members
who would volunteer.”
Faculty members will consid-
er the proposal at next week’s
Senate Assembly meeting.
Senate Assembly to vote
on divestment resolution
each day, which are 60 to 100
words each.
The next section is called
“Water Cooler.”
“It’s kind of like when you’re at
the office and you meet another
employee at the water cooler,”
Lieberman said. “It’s a more
timely or cool topic — less mental
power, more digestible and argu-
ably more interesting stories.”
The Water Cooler section will
soon feature exclusive inter-
views with notable business pro-
fessionals conducted by staff of
The Morning Brew, Lieberman
added.
Penultimate is the section
entitled “The Mix.” This sec-
tion
features
three
distinct
topic categories daily — “Build-
ing Blocks” for real estate news,
“Today in Tech” for news in the
world of technology and “Start-
up of the Day” for entrepreneur-
ial news.
The final section of the news-
letter is called “The Breakroom.”
Lieberman
said
this
section
includes a “cool” business fact of
the day, an interview question of
the day and a business fact of the
day.
“That’s kind of when you get
out of the office, kick your legs up
on the table and just want to talk
about whatever with friends,”
Lieberman said.
Behind the scenes, the news-
letter is made up of an 11-person
team — consisting of five writers,
two editors, one grammar and
spelling editor and LSA senior
Grant Demeter from ComCo, a
University comedy group, to give
the newsletter some style.
“He puts in that witty, uni-
fied, singular tone,” Rief said.
“We think that really adds a lot
of value to our newsletter and
differentiates ourselves between
other dry business newsletters.”
The Morning Brew was not
always so comprehensive. It used
to be a one-man act.
Lieberman started the news-
letter last semester after recog-
nizing local interest.
“I spent two to three hours
daily giving interview advice, my
view on the business world, my
view on the market to my friends
in my fraternity, kids in the
business school that were going
through the recruiting process,”
he said. “I decided there has to be
a better platform to inform col-
lege student as well as young pro-
fessionals in general about what’s
going on in the business world in
a quick and quality way.”
For this reason, he created
what he then called The Market
Corner, a daily e-mail update
he wrote and published in PDF
form every day for two months.
The Market Corner attracted 250
readers.
“I wasn’t expecting it to be
read by that many people,”
Lieberman said. “It was like a
small market test for the type of
demand that was there for this
