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.

ALLISON FARRAND /Daily

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.
