MAYA MENLO

A2 Inter-Cooperative Council 

RITA MORRIS/Daily

Hockey player Tyler Motte plays air hockey with a

event in the Michigan Union on Monday.

OFF THE ICE

Public Policy senior Maya 

Menlo is Ann Arbor Inter-Coop-
erative Council president and a 
board member for North Ameri-
can Students of Cooperation.

What prompted your involve-
ment in a co-op living situa-

tion?

I think that after living in 

the dorms and not necessarily 
getting the sense of community 
that I wanted out of my college 
situation. The real reason that I 
was ever involved in the co-op 
was that I had a friend from a 
class of mine, and she asked me 
to dinner while she was living 
at Gregory House on Washt-
enaw Avenue. There were a lot 

of people in a cozy atmosphere.

How long have you lived in 

the co-op?

Sophomore year I moved 

into Benjamin on Catherine 
Street, 2012-2013. I’ve been 
there three years now. The 
people who live there are 
my friends and my family.

How does living in a co-op 

differ from traditional dorm 
life or living in a fraternity or 

sorority house?

Well, the biggest thing about 

the co-op is it’s an intentional 
community. The shared set 
of values has always been key 

for me. I think its safe to say 
it’s not for everybody, but it is 
for a lot of people and differ-
ent types of people, as well. 

What responsibilities have 
you taken on as president of 

your co-op?

There’s a laundry list. The 

most visible duties are chair-
ing the board of directors and 
the 
executive 
community, 

which we call our coordinat-
ing committee. I also oversee 
hiring and firing processes for 
our full-time staff. emergency 
situations and contract issues.

LSA senior Micah Warschausky chats with a friend and enjoys free food and music during the inaugural LSA Senior 
Celebration on Ingalls Mall on Monday.
LSA student government 
hosts Senior Celebration

Inaugural event 
marks final send 
off for graduating 

liberal arts students

By ALYSSA BRANDON

Daily Staff Reporter

LSA Student Government cel-

ebrated seniors on Ingalls Mall 
Monday morning with free food, 
games on the Diag and a speech 
by Golden Apple-winning Sta-
tistics Lecturer Brenda Gunder-
son.

Designed to honor graduat-

ing LSA seniors, the event also 
provided resources as they tran-
sition into their new roles as 
alums. LSA’s marketing depart-
ment also provided resources 
detailing how to join the Dean’s 
Young Alumni Council and stay 
connected to LSA after gradua-
tion.

LSA senior Corey Walsh, 

event organizer and former LSA 
Student Government vice presi-
dent, said the event was created 
to instill the value of liberal arts 
degrees in graduating seniors 
one last time.

“We just thought it was 

important 
that 
seniors, 
as 

they’re exiting the University, 
have some type of large-scale 
capstone event to leave seniors 
feeling some sort of unity with 
the college of LSA, so that 
whenever they graduate they 
can become active alumni,” he 
said.

The idea for Senior Celebra-

tion began last summer, but all 
of the details were put into place 
over the past two months.

LSA junior Jason Colella, LSA 

Student Government president 
said there have been various 
attempts to hold a senior cel-
ebration in the past that never 
seemed to catch on.

“We are sort of trying to 

revive it, restart it, to really fos-
ter a sense of LSA pride,” Colella 
said.

He added that other students 

tend to feel more attached to 
their colleges after graduating, 
which he said isn’t necessarily 
the case with LSA alumni.

Gunderson said the decision 

to present a speech for gradu-
ating LSA seniors was an easy 
one.

“Being able to congratulate 

them and send them off and tell 

them they’re already amazing 
and they’ll continue to be, how 
could I not have an opportunity 
to say that?” she said.

Gunderson said she hopes 

graduates realize they won’t be 
alone, and that they will have 
access to a wide array of alumni 
resources.

She 
also 
emphasized 
the 

importance of the LSA commu-
nity to the college experience.

“You are not just handed 

knowledge,” Gunderson said. 
“You work with lots of other 
people and created that knowl-
edge.”

Furthermore, she said the 

seniors’ LSA educations have 
provided various ways to think 
and observe the world, which 
will enable them to solve com-
plex problems in real-life situ-
ations, no matter where they 
go or what career path they 
take.

LSA senior Sarah Lopez said 

the senior celebration was a 
good way to recognize the senior 
class’s achievements.

“It’s a nice reward for being a 

senior and celebratory prepar-
ing for graduation a few weeks 
away,” she said.

Senator touts ‘A 
New American 
Century’ during 
campaign kickoff

MIAMI (AP) — Sen. Marco 

Rubio entered the presidential 
race Monday by offering the 
nation a younger generation of 
leadership that breaks free of 
ideas “stuck in the 20th century,” 
a jab at both Democratic favorite 
Hillary Rodham Clinton and his 
one-time Republican mentor, 
former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

Standing in front of a banner 

that proclaimed “A New Amer-
ican Century” and repeating 
that refrain throughout his 
kickoff speech, the 43-year-old 
Cuban-American used his first 
turn as a Republican presiden-
tial candidate to take on two of 

America’s political dynasties. 
In doing so, he bet heavily on 
the 
electorate’s 
frustrations 

with Washington and his abil-
ity to change how his party is 
seen by voters.

“This election is not just about 

what laws we are going to pass,” 
Rubio told his evening rally. “It is 
a generational choice about what 
kind of country we will be.”

He said it’s also a choice 

between the haves and have-
nots, nodding to his own 
upbringing by working-class 
parents. “I live an exceptional 
country where the son of a 
bartender and a maid can have 
the same dreams and the same 
future as those who come from 
power and privilege.”

Earlier in the day, the first-

term Republican from Florida 
spoke to his top donors and told 
them many families feel the 
American Dream is slipping 

away and young Americans 
face 
unequal 
opportunities. 

He’s banking on the hope that 
he, alone among many GOP 
rivals, can make inroads with 
groups that have long eluded 
Republicans — young people, 
minorities and the less affluent.

“I feel uniquely qualified to 

not just make that argument, but 
to outline the policies that we 
need to have in order to achieve 
it,” he said on the donor call.

In his televised speech, he 

told supporters, “The time has 
come for our generation to lead 
the way toward a new American 
century.”

Rubio’s remarks came as 

Clinton was traveling to Iowa 
on her first trip as a candidate. 
Her entrance into the race with 
an online video Sunday is rob-
bing some attention from Rubio’s 
splash into the race.

But Rubio saw an opportuni-

ty to cast the presidential con-
test as one between a fresh face 
representing a new generation 
of leadership and familiar faces 
harking back decades — name-
ly, the 62-year-old Bush and the 
67-year-old Clinton.

“While our people and econ-

omy are pushing the boundaries 
of the 21st century, too many of 
our leaders and their ideas are 
stuck in the 20th century,” Rubio 
said to applause.

The swipe at Bush was 

implied; with Clinton, he was 
more direct.

“Just yesterday, a leader from 

yesterday began a campaign for 
president by promising to take us 
back to yesterday,” Rubio said to 
jeers. “Yesterday is over and we 
are never going back.”

Supporters began lining up 

in 87-degree heat three hours 
before the public kickoff at 
Freedom Tower, the Miami 
landmark that was the first stop 
for tens of thousands of fleeing 
Cuban exiles during the 1960s 
and 1970s.
