Renovation concludes
multi-year initiative
to update housing
on campus
By EMMA KINERY
Daily Staff Reporter
Shuttered for renovations over
the last year, the West Quadran-
gle Residence Hall held an official
reopening
ceremony
Wednes-
day afternoon — with University
President Mark Schlissel and E.
Royster Harper, vice president of
student life, helping cut the blue
ribbon.
When Schlissel addressed the
crowd, he marveled at the hall’s
renovated features.
“Man, I’m jealous,” he said.
West Quad’s opening marks
the latest in a series of projects
launched a decade ago to improve
housing on campus. West Quad is
now the eighth residence hall to
receive renovations through the
multi-million dollar Residential
Life Initiative launched by former
University President Mary Sue
Coleman in 2004. The initiative
also initiated the construction of
North Quad as well as dining cen-
ters on Central Campus and in the
Hill campus neighborhood.
At Wednesday’s opening cere-
mony, University officials praised
the designers, architects, housing
staff, contractors and engineers
for their work on the renova-
tion, which focused on upgrad-
ing the building technologically
and improving spaces dedicated
to diversity and inclusion, while
keeping the historic feel of the
hall.
West Quad was originally con-
structed in 1937 and was funded
by the Works Progress Adminis-
tration of President Roosevelt’s
New Deal program. Harper said
it was important to University
administration to maintain the
building’s original look.

ovations almost a decade ago
New model aims to
tailor resources to
individual schools,
reach more students
By GENEVIEVE HUMMER
Daily Staff Reporter
The University’s Counseling
and Psychological Services is
increasingly embedding counsel-
ors in individual schools and col-
leges — and the office reports the
initiative is working.
CAPS Director Dr. Todd Sevig
said the “embedded model,”
originally piloted through simi-
lar services at Northwestern
University and the University of
Iowa, was launched last year in
response to a growing number of
students seeking mental health
services.
The CAPS 2014-2015 annual
report said the office experi-
enced a 17 percent increase in
demand for services during the
2014-2015 academic year.
“Our goal is to increase sup-
port, but not just to increase by
doing the same old thing,” Sevig
said. “We really wanted to grow
in this new way, and that new
way is a direct, local service
delivery, local meeting within
that particular place. And it also
meets the needs of the schools
and colleges.”
Sevig said the ability to tailor
resources to a specific school or
college’s culture is part of what
makes the embedded model so
successful.
“It’s the combination of these
two things: it’s the ability to tai-
lor, but then those decisions are
from a staff member who knows
intimately the culture of that
place and has worked with stu-
dents from that particular place,
has worked with faculty from
that particular place,” he said.
The first phase of the model,
launched in July 2014, assigned
three counselors to the four
North Campus schools and col-
leges — Art & Design, Architec-
ture and Urban Planning, Music,
Doctors say
initiative will likely
expand to other
transplant types
By TOM MCBRIEN
Daily Staff Reporter
Amputees who have lost their
hands may now have the chance
to write, use a telephone and
grasp objects again, thanks to a
new transplant program at the
University of Michigan Health
System.
The procedure, referred to as
a “vascular composite allograft
transplantation,” involves reat-
taching multiple types of tis-
sue such as fat, skin, muscle and
nerve cells. Patients accepted into
the program will receive hands
from recently deceased donors.
The surgery is intense. It
requires a team of 10 to 30 doc-
tors depending on the complex-
ity of each individual case, and
it lasts eight to 12 hours — com-
pared to an average of four hours
for a heart transplant.
John Magee, transplant sur-
geon and director of the Trans-
plant Center, said UMHS is
well-positioned to offer the sur-
gery.
“The University of Michi-
gan re-attaches more limbs per
week than most people would
think,” Magee said. “The hand
effort builds upon a great deal
of strength we already have, and
the other efforts will build upon
the successes we see with hand
transplants.”
The
University
already
received approval to expand the
program in the future, meaning
it could soon be performing other
VCA surgeries such as face trans-
plants. According to Magee, how-
ever, those won’t come until after
the program is comfortable with
hand transplants.
“A central issue, of course, is
making sure we are successful
and that we go about this in a
Deli CEO’s model
draws lessons
from anarchist
pamphlets, activists
By JULIA LISS
Daily Staff Reporter
With 33 years under his belt
as the CEO of Zingerman’s Deli-
catessen and the Zingerman’s
Community of Businesses, Ari
Weinzweig, the deli’s co-found-
er, shared his unique approach
to business with about 45 Ann
Arbor community members on
Wednesday night.
The event, held in the Hatch-
er Graduate Library, was part
of the Zingerman’s ZingTrain
series, in which Weinzweig
teaches his business philosophy
to companies and organizations.
Wednesday’s talk focused on the
connections between anarchism
and creative business models.
The concept promotes sev-
eral tenets, including a focus
on reducing hierarchy, bringing
out the best in every member
of the organization and teach-
ing everyone to lead. He also
emphasized
encouraging
an
environment characterized by
openness and positivity.
“You can’t have a healthy
business in an unhealthy eco-
system,” he said.
Weinzweig
outlined
the
several core beliefs he uses to
run his business. He noted the
importance of giving people
the freedom to innovate and do
good, rather than telling them
what to do.
The deli co-founder drew
inspiration from a collection of

The second Republican pres-
idential debate aired Wednes-
day, and the discussion largely
steered clear of education and
manufacturing — topics that
have been the focus of politi-
cal conversation in Michigan in
recent months.
Aaron Kall, director of the
University’s debate program,
said though a question on man-
ufacturing made a brief appear-
ance in the earlier JV debate,
the prime time show was dic-
tated by current events like the
Iran Deal and the Syrian refu-
gee crisis.
However, Kall said the dis-
cussion could circle back to top-
