Two campus
exhibits feature
famous Detroit art
installation

DETROIT
—
On
Sunday,
Detroit native Tyree Guyton,
creator of the open-air Heidel-
berg Project, stood next to a sev-
ered Barbie doll limb poking out
of the dirt from a lot on Detroit’s
east side.
University
students
and
Detroit residents gathered on
Heidelberg Street to complete
maintenance on a house that is
part of the Heidelberg Project art
installation. The volunteers were
participating in a new initiative
aiming to create a relationship
between the University and the
famous project.
Guyton said he was decon-
structing and rebranding one of
his Heidelberg houses, and the
Barbie limb was one of his “jew-
els.”
“You see that leg there? That’s
magic. I’m teaching people how
to see,” Guyton said. “That’s
gonna go on this house.”
Guyton and his grandfather
started the Heidelberg Project in
1986 by gathering local materials
for an art installation. He said his
project goes beyond the city of
Detroit.
“Albert Einstein said that logic
would take you from point A to
point B, imagination would take
you everywhere,” Guyton said.
“What I’m doing here is I’m cre-
ating an art in such a way that it
goes beyond.”
LSA senior Rachel Johnston,
the student liaison between the
University and the Heidelberg
Project, said her father’s involve-
ment in the project inspired her
to participate. Johnston said her
father started helping out at the
project in 2013, after a few of
the installation’s houses were
burned down.
After her father started tak-
ing regular trips to Detroit,
Johnston became more closely
involved.
“I just started tagging along
with him,” she said. “The first
time I met Tyree he already
knew everything about me. I
was like, “Oh my god I have to
keep coming back now, this is so
cool.’”
Currently, there are two Hei-
delberg exhibits on campus
— one at the University of Michi-
gan Museum of Art and one on
the ground floor of Haven Hall.
Johnston said she increased her
excursions to Detroit to help
Guyton prepare to bring Heidel-
berg to the University.
“I think it’s super interesting
to take Heidelberg out of con-
text and put it in a place like Ann
Arbor,” she said.
Johnston has been encour-
aging students to get involved
through word of mouth, start-
ing with her friends. LSA senior
Alicia Speak said her friendship
with Johnston influenced her to
visit Heidelberg.
“Rachel has been talking
about this for three years now,”
Speak said. “She finally got me
down here today and it’s really
cool.”
Originally from Grosse Pointe,
Speak has a history with the city
and a desire to see it prosper.
“When I was younger I would
come down and go to soup kitch-
ens, volunteer downtown all the
time,” she said.
Project
Manager
Trista
Dymond has worked for the
Heidelberg Project nonprofit
for the last four years and has
noticed an influx of volunteers
after the string of arson attacks
in 2013.
“We had volunteer days before
then, a lot of site beautification,
that kind of stuff,” Dymond said.
“When the fires came it was
cleaning up the fire, and we had
tons of students.”

Drivers from across
Mich. showcase
vehicles at Electric
Car Week event
BY ISOBEL FUTTER
Daily Staff Reporter
The quiet lull of electric vehi-
cles cruised down Eisenhower
Parkway in Ann Arbor on Sun-
day morning. More than 20 elec-
tric vehicles, including the Tesla
Model S and the Chevrolet Volt,
parked outside Whole Foods so
their owners could share their
passion for driving green.
The Ann Arbor Drive Elec-
tric Week Car Show, which cor-
responded with Drive Electric
Week, attracted electric auto-
owners from all over Michigan.
Drive Electric Week is a
nationwide
celebration
to
heighten awareness of plug-in
vehicles and highlight the ben-
efits of all-electric and plug-in
hybrid vehicles. The show was
one of 195 nationwide events
aligned with the weeklong cel-
ebration.
Bruce Westlake, president of
Michigan Electric Auto Asso-
ciation, said the car show is ben-
eficial in educating Ann Arbor
residents about the perks of
owning a plug-in vehicle.
“There’s a lot of misinforma-
tion out about plug-in vehicles,”
Westlake said. “What we’re try-
ing to do is help people under-
stand change because it is a
considerable change in how they
drive their cars, and sometimes
it’s daunting.”
Westlake said the event show-
cases the availability of electric
vehicles and helps drivers feel
more at ease about the cars.
“We try to get people com-
fortable with how to charge
them and get to see the different
types that are available at differ-
ent dealerships,” Westlake said.
The event was co-sponsored
by Michigan Electric Auto Asso-
ciation, the Ann Arbor Ecology
Center, Whole Foods, the Drive
Electric Ann Arbor Partner-
ship, BMW of Ann Arbor, Ann
Arbor Automotive and the Ann
Arbor Downtown Development
Authority.
Charles Griffith, director of
the Ecology Center’s Climate
and Energy Program, said the
event, as well as local efforts to
make charging stations more
available to residents, are help-
ing Ann Arbor become a more
plug-in friendly city.
“For one thing, the city’s
Downtown
Development
Authority is a really big player
in this topic,” Griffith said.
“They have been working to
get electric charging stations
in downtown parking areas and
structures.”
Since 2012, the DDA has
installed 23 charging locations
across the city and internal
studies have found them to be
popular.
DDA representatives attend-
ed the car show and spoke with
visitors about the availability of
plug-ins in the area.

Union renovations draw ire
PE ACE OUT
A group of students con-
tested control of the Michi-
gan Union as renovations
were underway to create a
more student-oriented facil-
ity.
Students who were part
of a committee called the
Michigan Student Interim
Advisory Council wanted
more control over decisions
related to both the physical
and philosophical restruc-
turing of the building.
However,
University
administrators said it was
unlikely
students
would
gain more say in how the
changes would be made. The
Michigan Union Director
Frank Cianciola had already
asked many students on the
committee for input before
the rennovation.
The
student
commit-
tee itself was also divided.
Some students felt they had
enough say without having
an official advisory position
alongside the administra-
tors, but others thought such
a role was necessary.
The committee ultimate-
ly proposed a governance
structure for the Union
that gave all 18 seats on the
Union executive commit-
tee to students. The pro-
posal outlined that students
would have authority over
space usage in the building,
financial planning, director
evaluation,
programming
and planning and University
relations.
The committee planned
to propose their organiza-
tional structure in front
of the Michigan Student
Assembly, the precursor to
Central
Student
Govern-
ment, following three open
hearings.
Administrators said the
biggest issue with a student-
dominated board is that the
issues facing the Union don’t
solely pertain to students —
they pertain to faculty, staff
and alumni as well.
