U. Texas fires athletic director
The University of Texas,
Austin fired its athletic
director, Steve Patterson,
The Daily Texan reported
Tuesday.
Patterson’s firing comes
after UT’s athletic depart-
ment 2013-2014 fiscal year
report marked a net loss
of $8.1 million — a loss in
funding
that
Patterson
apparently tried to com-
pensate for by raising foot-
ball and basketball season
ticket prices.
Patterson will likely be
replaced by Mike Perrin,
a Houston-based attorney
who once played football
for UT-Austin and is an
inductee to the Texas Ath-
letics Men’s Hall of Honor.
Cornell makes chang-
es to its sexual assault
policy
Cornell University will
now
include
additional
protections
for
sexual
assault survivors, the Cor-
nell Daily Sun reported
Friday. These additions
were made to align with
a forthcoming New York
State law, which, among
other statutes, requires
universities
to
use
an
“affirmative
consent”
standard when investigat-
ing possible instances of
assault.
Affirmative consent is
defined as “a knowing,
voluntary
and
mutual
decision among all partici-
pants to engage in sexual
activity.”
“Our efforts to address
sexual assault and vio-
lence on our campus will
continue to evolve as we
partner — faculty, stu-
dents and staff — to create
a safe and inclusive place
to study, live and work,”
said
Mary
Opperman,
Cornell’s vice president
for human resources and
safety services.

Law School student Kya Henley selects produce at the M Farmer’s Market outside the Michigan Union on Monday. The market sells locally
grown fruits, vegetables and flowers every Monday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. through the end of October
Weekly market
returned Monday,
included new food
demonstration
BY ISOBEL FUTTER
Daily Staff Reporter
Packing the fridge with fresh fruits
and veggies just got easier. By popular
demand, M Farmers Market is setting
up shop weekly this semester to pro-
vide fresh options to students.
The first market was held by the
fountain outside the Michigan Union
on Monday morning. The event fea-
tured fresh produce from Zilke
Farm, located in Milan, Mich. Each
week, the farm provides a selection
of produce, and students are able to
purchase fruits and vegetables at a
reasonable cost.
The event also featured a food dem-
onstration led by Frank Turchan,
executive chef for Michigan Dining,
to exemplify how students can cre-
ate healthy meals despite their busy
schedules.
LSA senior Sushmitha Diraviam,
chair of the Health Initiatives Com-
mittee for Central Student Govern-
ment, has been working closely with
the committee, as well as MDining,
the University of Michigan Health
System and University Unions to orga-
nize the event.
“It brings a lot of stuff to campus
such as local produce, education, sus-
tainability and accessibility of fresh
produce,” Diraviam said. “Finding
fresh produce on campus is a little bit
of a problem and I think this event
helps to solve that issue.”
In past years, the M Farmers Mar-
ket has been held only three times
during the fall semester. However,
this year, the organizers decided to
hold the market weekly.
“It’s
specifically
due
to
the
demand,” Diravia said. “Having them
every week will allow people to know
that Mondays are the market days
and it’ll get ingrained into people’s
heads.”
LSA junior Harrison West walked
by the market and stopped to look at
the available produce Monday.
“I was walking to go make lunch,
when I saw this,” West said. “Fresh
food is good, so I thought I’d check it
out.”
LSA junior Kelly Rea said she was
pleased with her experience at the
market.
“It offers a different way to get food
outside of dining hall and fast food
options,” Rea said.
Engineering
freshman
Maggie
Braunreuther stopped by the event
and bought some peaches and plums.
“It’s close to my dorm, so I thought
it was great,” Braureuther said. “It
gives an opportunity for students to
give back to the community and sup-
port sustainable foods.”
Alongside the available produce,
the market also handed out free bags
and T-shirts to students and other
shoppers who stopped by the event.
Keith Soster, director of Student
Engagement for Michigan Dining,
said he believes the markets have been
a huge success.
“Students enjoy them, faculty enjoy
them and the Zilke’s always bring a
variety of goods,” Soster said.
The markets will likely run through
the end of October.
