worst in areas including Angell
Hall and North Quad.
“Somebody
may
not
even
get access, but if they try again
after a few minutes, they will,”
Palms said, later adding that the
intermittency could result in
networks “dumping (connected
students) off after a few minutes.”
LSA junior Elizabeth Brennen
said the wireless was down for
most of the two hours she spent in
Mason Hall Tuesday afternoon.
“I was trying to pull up the
syllabus before class and review it,
and I couldn’t, so it was a bummer
to not have Internet,” she said.
“I would say internet is almost
fundamental
to
my
learning
experience at this point.”
assault awareness commission is
also under consideration.
“Something that we really want
this commission to focus on is
something that is very surprising to
me that the student survey unveiled
— that 21 percent of sexual assault
occurs
from
verbal
pressure,”
Halperin said.
Proposal
for
undocumented
student aid
Representatives also announced a
future resolution to provide legal aid
and scholarships to undocumented
students at the University.
Lamin Manneh, a Rackham
student representative, said the
issue deeply affects the University
population, which he said has a
significant immigrant population.
“Among
these
groups
of
immigrants,
there’s
a
lot
of
undocumented migrants,” he said.
“Our friends, our classmates.”
In 2013, the University’s Board
of Regents voted to grant in-state
tuition
fees
to
undocumented
students. The decision followed
a multi-year student movement
calling for the change.
Manneh said the University
has a hostile relationship with its
undocumented students, and their
inability to receive aid limits their
upward mobility.
“The University has to be pushed
to even consider that immigrant
students need financial aid,” Manneh
said. “They cannot recognize it
without
student
movement
to
maintain that pressure.”
Manneh said that the University
should follow in the steps of the
University of California, Berkeley,
which provides free legal aid
and assistance with legal fees
for
undocumented
immigrants
applying for national work permits.
Elections
Officers
of
the
Executive
Committee were also elected during
Tuesday’s meeting.
LSA
junior
Sean
Pitt
was
confirmed as CSG chief of staff in
a unanimous vote. Business senior
Kevin Ziegler was elected treasurer.
Public Policy sophomore Jacob
Pearlman was unanimously elected
chief of Student General Counsel.

MSU most dangerous campus
Citing statistics from the
U.S. Department of Education’s
Office of Postsecondary Educa-
tion, the website Crime Watch
Daily ranked Michigan State
University as the most danger-
ous college campus in the coun-
try, the State News reported.
Using data from 2013, Crime
Watch reported four cases
of
agggravated
assault,
62
motor vehicle thefts, 27 sexual
assaults, 120 burglaries, nine
cases of arson and four robber-
ies.
A note posted on the Office

and/or
local law enforcement agen-
cies,” the note said. “Therefore,
the data collected do not neces-
sarily reflect prosecutions or
convictions for crimes.”

One of the University’s staple
Welcome Week events returned
this year for the 18th year — but
New location held
free weekend classes
to celebrate grand
opening
By AMABEL KAROUB
Daily News Editor
No longer will students have to
twist themselves into a knot to find a
yoga studio on South University.
aUM Yoga opened a new studio
at South Forest Street and South
University Avenue, above Bubble
Island Coffee and Tea. Throughout
Labor Day weekend, the studio
offered more than 20 free yoga
classes and, as of Sunday afternoon,
more
than
750
students
had
attended class since the promotion
started on Friday.
University alum Jessie Lipkowitz,
the owner of aUM, opened the
studio’s first location at 715 North
University Ave. in September 2013.
Now, with the addition of a new
location,
the
North
University
studio will exclusively house yoga
instructor training and meetings for
the Michigan Yoga Club. Lipkowitz
said the space will also be available
to rent out for private events.
Lipkowitz, who earned a Bachelor
of Arts from the University in 2011, said
the South University studio will be
more convenient for undergraduates
because residences have become
more condensed in that area over
the past few years, particularly with
the addition of several new high rise
apartment buildings.
“With all of the sororities being
in the Washtenaw area, and with
Arbor Blu, Zaragon (West) and
(University) Towers and all of that,
it’s going to be very convenient,”
Lipkowitz said. “I think it’s an
exciting place to be.”
The new aUM is the only yoga
studio near South Campus. Other
popular yoga studios near campus —
including Center for Yoga, Detroit Yoga
and aUM’s North University Avenue
location — are condensed near the
South State Street business district.
Business junior Jordan Davis,
founder of the Michigan Yoga Club,
said it is in a prime location on
campus. Though the Yoga Club will
hold sessions at the original aUM
location, many of its members will
also likely frequent the new studio.
“It’s in the nexus of campus,”
Davis said. “It’s an even better
location just because of the foot
traffic for kids walking on South U
every day as compared to North U.”
Davis said when he asked aUM
to partner with the club about two
years ago, Lipkowitz jumped on
the opportunity. aUM hosts and
instructs all of the Michigan Yoga
Club’s classes.
The new second-floor studio
features two large yoga rooms —
one with a floor-to-ceiling window
— and a reception area. Davis said
every class has been at capacity.
“It’s by far the nicest yoga studio
on this campus,” Davis said. “I’ve
been there all weekend, all the
classes have been filled and it’s
really cool to see.”
A huge aim of aUM, Lipkowitz
said, is to create a sense of
community and fun. She said she
hopes to demystify yoga, in part
through the studio’s approachable
instructors and funky class names.
“Just coming up with things that
are out of the box makes yoga more
relatable to people,” she said.
Class names include: “F*** This
is Hard,” “All Yin, No Yang” and
“Damn! This is Sexy and Slow.”
“I’m a little flamboyant in my
ideas,” Lipkowitz said. “I don’t
necessarily have a filter.”
Davis said aUM has played a
pivotal role in facilitating a strong
community of yogis across campus.
He said aUM’s instructors are
the most attentive of any he has
experienced in Ann Arbor and that
he feels a sense of belonging when
he is at the studio.
“I walk in the door and really
feel like I’m part of an amazing
community,” he said. “You get a lot
out of aUM because you get that
sense of community, and belong
to something that’s a great place
to meet other really cool students
of all different ages, all different
backgrounds.”
