One hundred twenty-five years later, the Daily is the lone survivor in Ann Arbor’s daily news landscape, and it contin- ues to serve a vital role in cov- ering campus, the Ann Arbor community and beyond. The Daily has a rich his- tory of making and breaking news. In April 1955, the news- paper was the first to report that Jonas Salk had success- fully created an effective polio vaccine; a 1924 exclusive with Mahatma Ghandi shed light on the leader’s ongoing peace efforts in India and elsewhere; a football player’s permanent separation from the University for violating the Student Sexu- al Misconduct Policy was first reported by the Daily in Janu- ary 2013; the paper even acci- dentally perpetuated the myth of Paul McCartney’s death in 1969. 36 years ago this week The University’s work- study program received fed- eral funds to increase the program’s annual budget from $1.74 to $2.5 million. The budget increase result- ed from the federal Middle Income Assistance Act, passed in November 1978. With its passage, the allocation of fed- eral resources for work-study programs increased across the nation. The University’s Board of Regents hoped a larger work- study budget would help stu- dents with the increasing costs of school, such as rising tuition and housing rates. Though the work-study pro- gram was never meant to com- pletely cover student tuition costs, the increased budget aimed to help students on the border of being financially unable to attend the University. — AMANDA DELEKTA and LEV FACHER 420 Maynard St. Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1327 www.michigandaily.com The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students at the University of Michigan.

Organized to pro- mote environmentally sus- tainable food, Sunday’s event drew an estimated 500 people to the garden’s student-run farm. The University of Michigan Sustainable Food Program, an umbrella organization for food-related student groups on campus, sponsored the festival. During the academic year, the program works to facilitate relations between the groups by providing resources, helping with out- reach and fostering collabora- tions. “This is our one big event we have each year and we just try to raise awareness about sustainable food and where people can access it around campus,” said LSA senior Claire Roos, the program’s communications coordinator. Entering the farm, visi- tors were handed a ticket for the complimentary food tents from Ann Arbor eater- ies, including The Brinery, Salads Up and Lucky’s Mar- ket. Tables from several of the program’s member groups promoted options for getting involved with sustainability efforts on campus. Recently doubled in size, the sustainable farm now includes a food forest, or a more forest-like farming site, just outside the farm’s fence. LSA senior Maddy Baroli, a representative from the orga- nization Permaculture, was the driving force behind the food forest. “The basic idea is to move away from the industrial agri- culture framework of mono- cultures and tons of pesticides and fossil fuels by imitating forest ecosystems,” she said. The festival featured a variety of activities. The first ever pie-eating contest drew a large crowd, and Andrew Jones, assistant professor of environmental health scienc- es, claimed first prize. “It was a little disgusting,” Jones said. “The first few bites were tasty but after that it was all about concentration and pure determination.” The event also featured a scarecrow contest with origi- nal submissions from various student organizations. University alum Angey Wilson, Permaculture’s pro- gram coordinator, said the event’s organizers and par- ticipants are a critical part of the event’s success. “It’s a great way to enjoy the presence of all these fantastic people in one space because you’re all working together for the same cause — having sustainable food available and accessible for all students.” Community celebrates fall harvest and sustainable food ANDREW COHEN/Daily University alum J.J. Lundy and LSA senior Jess Greenspan purchase organic peppers at the fourth annual Harvest Festival hosted by the Sustainable Food Program on the campus farm at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens on Sunday. Students, staff dress in whiskers, cat ears for programming board’s kickoff event BY TANYA MADHANI Daily Staff Reporter Students and staff dressed in cat ears and whiskers, consum- ing cat-themed cake and snacks filled the courtyard of North Quad Residence Hall on Friday evening. They were waiting for the Internet Cat Video Festival to begin. North Quad Programming hosted the event for an audi- ence of about 200 students, staff and Ann Arbor residents. Emilia White, programming coordinator of North Quad, said she got the idea from the Walk- er Arts Center in Minneapolis. “When I saw it and saw sort of what a festive event it is, I thought it would be a good event to have at the beginning of the semester to kick off the semes- ter with a sense of community and bring people together,” she said. The Walker Art Center curates a video compilation of various viral cat videos into genres like “drama” and “com- edy” every year and had more than 10,000 attendees at its most recent premier. “It is sort of a mutual under- standing — something that peo- ple share across cultures and differences is that people love cat videos,” Smith said. “The festival is about watching cat videos as a community, versus what most people do in their home or in their private room or office watching cat videos.” LSA juniors Christine Liu and Jenny Gong found the fes- tival through Facebook. Gong said though she is more of a dog person, she was interest- ed in the event because she’s never been to a cat film festival before. “It sounded like something, I don’t know, I’ve never heard of anything like it before, so I just wanted to have the new experi- ence,” Gong said. “I think cats do really weird things some- times, like sometimes they don’t make any sense. I guess it makes sense to them, it doesn’t make sense to us, and I guess that’s what makes it so funny. How they’re so fascinated with laser pointers and things like that.” Liu said she was looking for- ward to the festival because it would be a way for her to relax from homework and school- related activities. “I just think they’re like a good relaxation tactic, because you can get lost really eas- ily watching cat videos, or maybe that’s just me,” she said. “They’re just light-hearted; you can’t really go wrong with cat videos.” This year’s festival was dedi- cated to Cecil the Lion, a pro- tected African lion shot and killed by an American dentist earlier this year. Gong said her favorite video featured a cat attempting to jump through a window and flailing its arms and legs. For Liu, her favorite video was self-explanatory. “The title is literally ‘Cat gets caught barking by human and resumes meowing’ and that’s exactly what happens in the video,” Liu said. “If you haven’t seen it, it’s honestly hilarious.” THE MICHIGAN DAILY WILL TURN 125 YEARS OLD ON TUESDAY! come celebrate at the cube
