Another victory

Fiorina, Paul urge

Republicans to
re-examine party

identity

By SHOHAM GEVA

Daily News Editor

Their platforms were differ-

ent, but the Saturday speeches
of
former
Hewlett-Packard

CEO Carly Fiorina and Sen.
Rand Paul (R–Ky.), both Repub-
lican presidential candidates,
at the Mackinac Republican
Leadership Conference both
urged the GOP to examine its

identity as a party.

Fiorina, who spoke first, told

the crowd that the GOP needs
to reintroduce itself.

“It’s amazing to me how

many people don’t know, for
example, that ours is the party
of women’s suffrage,” she said.
“The reason I say we have to
reintroduce ourselves to the
American people is because this
is a fight about many things, but
it’s mostly about, in 2016, what
do we really believe about the
potential of the American peo-
ple? What do we really believe
about each and every American
and what they’re capable of?”

She said that idea of potential

Presidential

contenders advocate
culture shift in D.C.

MACKINAC ISLAND — As

the Michigan Republican Lead-
ership Conference began this
weekend, the platforms among
the first half of the five GOP
presidential candidates slated to
speak varied, but the narrative
stuck to similar themes.

Former
Florida
Gov.
Jeb

Bush kicked off the conference’s
keynote
speakers,
delivering

remarks Friday evening. He was
followed Saturday afternoon by
Ohio Gov. John Kasich and U.S.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R–Texas).

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker

was scheduled to speak Satur-
day morning until his flight to
the island was cancelled due to
inclement weather.

All three cited the need to

change culture — through posi-
tivity, bipartisan cooperation and
a return to Constitutional values
— whether on the campaign trail,
in Washington D.C. or in both.

In introducing Bush, GOP

activist Peter Secchia said the
party’s focus should be on look-
ing forward.

“I know there are some people

that say Jeb’s got a problem,” he
said. “And we don’t have a candi-
date who doesn’t have a problem.
But you know what? I don’t want
to worry about our internal prob-
lems. I want to beat a Clinton.”

Speaking before Cruz on Sat-

urday, State Sen. Phil Pavlov (R–
St. Clair Township) highlighted
Cruz’s background as someone
who would challenge the status
quo in Washington.

“This is not a time for politics

as usual,” he said. “Enough is
enough of politics as usual.”

Bush told the gathered crowd

Friday evening that above all, he
wants to run a campaign that’s
different — echoing his oft-
repeated focus of changing the

culture by running with opti-
mism.

That kind of approach, he said,

could expand the electoral map
for Republicans.

“The way I try to describe it is

we run a campaign with our arms
open, with a hopeful, optimistic
message,” he said. “We don’t run
a campaign looking down at peo-
ple and saying how bad things
are, with an angry voice.”

Though Republicans current-

ly control the governor’s office
and legislature in Michigan, the
state has not voted for the party
in a presidential election since
1988.

Michigan downs
UNLV, 28-7, in
blowout victory

Wolverines win

their second
straight game

By ZACH SHAW

Daily Sports Editor

When a would-be sack by

Michigan redshirt junior defen-
sive tackle Matt Godin turned
into a 16-yard scramble, it looked
like the upset-minded UNLV
football team had brought some
luck with it from Las Vegas.

But through its stifling defense

and uncharacteristically explo-
sive offense, the Wolverines (2-1)
ensured the Rebels’ luck stopped
there, using 254 yards of rushing
and two takeaways to power past
UNLV en route to a 28-7 win.

It didn’t take long for Michi-

gan to rebound after Godin
brought
UNLV
quarterback

Blake Decker down, but never to
the ground. Junior cornerback
Channing Stribling snagged his
first-career interception on the
very next play, setting up a four-
yard touchdown pass from fifth-
year senior quarterback Jake
Rudock to junior running back

De’Veon Smith.

Though Rudock struggled for

much of the game, completing
just 14 of 22 passes and throw-
ing his fifth interception of the
season, he kept drives going with
short passes and the occasional
scramble.

“It’s fair to say the timing is off

(in the passing game),” Chesson
said. “Right now, we don’t com-
plete the plays, but in practice it
is there. It’s just a level of consis-
tency that we need to bring to the
games.”

More importantly, though, the

players Rudock handed the ball
off to were ready to carry the
load.

Smith, who set a career high

with 126 rushing yards last week,
struggled with just 33 yards on
13 carries. But just a few minutes
after his receiving touchdown,
Chesson took an end-around 36
yards to the house.

It was Michigan’s longest play

of the season, but that title didn’t
last long. With 7:30 to go in the
first half, junior Ty Isaac broke
the game open, hitting the jack-
pot on a 76-yard run.

The run was his first score for

University nursing students

and faculty gathered outside
their new $50 million facil-
ity late Friday morning for a

ribbon-cutting ceremony to
celebrate the accomplishments
and
philanthropics
efforts

of the college’s students and
alumni.

During the ceremony, Uni-

versity President Mark Schlis-
sel, School of Nursing Dean
Kathleen
Potempa,
Nurs-

ing alum Deborah Gross and
Nursing senior Chris Plampin
detailed the amount of work
that went into making the new
Nursing School facility a reality.

Before Plampin addressed

the crowd, he asked Potempa

to stand with him at the podi-
um where she was presented
an award on behalf of Rep.
Debbie Dingell (D–Dearborn),
commending her leadership of
the project.

Gross, who graduated in

1975, thanked Potempa for her
efforts and recalled her time as
a University student when she
would meet with her profes-
sors in mobile trailers.

University of Michigan School
of Nursing alumni, we thank

By TANAZ AHMED

Daily Staff Reporter

John Seto, Ann Arbor’s for-

mer chief of police, began his law
enforcement career 25 years ago
working for University Housing.
This fall, he returns to University
Housing — as its new director.

Seto was named the new direc-

tor of the University’s Housing
Security and Safety Services on
Aug. 31. He retired from AAPD in
July after having served as chief
since 2012.

Seto succeeds Tim Young, who

resigned from the director posi-
tion in July.

“This was a wonderful oppor-

tunity for me to come back as a
director,” Seto said in an inter-
view with The Michigan Daily. “I
really look forward to being a part
of a great team in the Department
of Public Safety and Security.”

Seto said reacclimating and

re-educating the student popula-
tion every year will be a large and
