Shapiro kicks off fundraising

HOMECOMING E- R ADE

Then-University 
Presi-

dent Harold Shapiro, the 
namesake for the Shapiro 
Undergraduate 
Library, 

launched a $160 million fun-
draising drive in his State of 
the University address at 
Rackham Auditorium.

This initiative was part 

of a plan he announced to 
reduce the size of the Uni-
versity, yet retain its qual-
ity.

“We are focused on two 

primary — and complemen-
tary — goals: to increase our 
endowment for faculty sup-
port and student financial 
aid, and to fund select new 
construction projects,” Sha-
piro said.

Some of the money raised 

in the campaign was used to 
erect a new chemistry build-
ing and make improvements 
at the Business School.

Study finds fraternity 
and sorority members 
experience discrimina-
tion (56 years ago: Oct. 

14, 1959)

According to responses 

to questionnaires sent to 
students 
at 
universities 

with more than nine frater-
nities or sororities, students 
at more than 75 percent 
of 
campuses 
surveyed 

observed either written or 
unwritten 
discriminatory 

practices.

Sixty-three 
universities 

responded to the study, of 
which 50 admitted at least 
one of their fraternities or 
sororities pursues discrimi-
natory membership policies.

At 25 of those 50 colleges, 

the fraternities or sororities 
were forced to pursue such 
policies by their national 
organizations.

In many cases, members 

of groups often subject 
to 
discrimination 
either 

did not apply or were not 
accepted 
to 
fraternities 

or sororities, avoiding the 
problem entirely.

Soccer

By BETELHEM ASHAME

The Michigan men’s soccer 

team fell to Rutgers 1-0 in 
overtime Saturday. Michigan 
Coach Chaka Daley noted 
that the team’s recent string 
of 
overtime 
matches 
may 

have led to fatigue later in 
Saturday’s game, adding that 
Rutgers “did what they had to 
do. They got the goal and we 
didn’t.”

NY Philharmonic plays with 
Marching Band at halftime

SAE tradition 

continues despite 
University efforts 

to cancel event

By RIYAH BASHA

For the Daily

Shin-deep in mud, former 

members of the now-disbanded 
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity 
hosted their 82nd annual Mud 
Bowl game on Saturday morning, 
despite University efforts to can-
cel the event.

Two teams of about 20 people 

played a game of two-hand touch 
football in an expansive mud pit 
constructed in front of the for-
mer SAE house at South Univer-
sity and Washtenaw avenues.

Though the final tally hasn’t 

been calculated, the charity 
touch-football game raised over 
$8,000 for C.S. Mott’s Children’s 
Hospital. Public Policy junior 
Zach Dubin, a former SAE mem-
ber who helped organize the 

event, said about 2,000 T-shirts 
were sold for the event and 
almost $7,000 was raised on the 
Mud Bowl’s GoFundMe page.

Though planning for this 

year’s game was complicated by 
SAE’s status as a rogue fraternity, 
hundreds of students and alumni 
surrounded the muddy field to 
cheer. Dubin estimated the num-
ber could have been more than a 
thousand, with people covering 
the lawn and spilling onto the 
sidewalk.

Earlier this year, fraternity 

and sorority members were 
warned by the Interfraternity 
Council not to participate in the 
event, since SAE is no longer 
recognized by the University 
or its national chapter. The IFC 
expelled the fraternity in 2011 
due to reports of hazing. Because 
Greek life members were told not 
to participate in the event, play-
ers took the field identifying not 
as Greek life members, but as 
individual students.

Durbin said the University’s 

decision to enforce these restric-
tions may have actually benefited 

the Mud Bowl in terms of boost-
ing attendance and interest. 
However, he said donations were 
lost once fraternity organizations 
were barred from participating 
in the event.

“As for next year, I doubt the 

University will back offtheir 
stance, but I really hope they 
reconsider to let all students, 
regardless of Greek or non-Greek 
affiliation, participate in what 
should be an event for everyone 
in the Michigan community to 
enjoy,” he said.

The team composed of for-

mer SAE members, nicknamed 
the Flying Eagles, defeated their 
opponents — a team made up of 
participants from a variety of 
groups — 24-10.

“It felt pretty amazing,” said 

LSA sophomore Jake Harris, 
despite hailing from the losing 
team. “Physically, I feel actually 
great, and even though we lost, 
it was just about going out there 
and having fun with the tradi-
tion.”

Performance 

marks beginning of 
orchestra’s five-year 
residency at the ‘U’

By KATIE PENROD

Daily Staff Reporter

Michigan football’s shutout 

against 
Northwestern 
wasn’t 

the only memorable event to 
take place on the field at the Big 
House on Saturday.

The New York Philharmonic 

Orchestra took the field along-
side the Michigan Marching 
Band and the School of Music, 
Theatre & Dance brass studios to 
perform a variety of songs.

And for this collaboration, it’s 

only the beginning: the famous 
symphony orchestra will now 
begin a five-year long residency 
in Ann Arbor.

John 
Pasquale, 
associate 

director of bands at the Uni-

versity, wrote in an e-mail that 
the halftime show marks the 
start of a multi-year partnership 
between the New York Philhar-
monic and the University. The 
symphony orchestra’s residency 
in Ann Arbor will include mas-
terclasses, lectures and perfor-
mances.

The residency will include 

lectures, 
performances 
and 

other educational opportuni-
ties for students. The University 
Musical Society will also bring 
three different orchestras to the 
University each year in addition 
to the New York Philharmonic.

LSA senior Emily Jablonski, a 

member of the marching band, 
said the group practiced Friday 
night with the New York Phil-
harmonic and the brass studio, 
and said she enjoyed learning 
from the New York Philharmon-
ic’s director, who conducted 
several pieces during the perfor-
mance.

“It’s hard to describe,” she 

said. “It was, in my experience, 

the most exciting show that I’ve 
ever participated in. During the 
last piece that we were playing I 
was smiling so big it was almost 
hard to play my instrument. To 
hear all of us playing at the same 
time almost made me emotional. 
The sound of all of us playing 
together — it worked out so well 
and the New York Phil are such 
prolific players and it was amaz-
ing.”

LSA senior Matt Cloutier, the 

band’s drum major, said Friday’s 
rehearsal was especially spirited 
because it was the first time the 
band experienced playing with 
the New York Philharmonic.

“We’d been practicing the 

show for the week, however, we 
didn’t practice with the New 
York Phil until Friday night.” he 
said. “We did a dress rehearsal 
before that was actually an 
open rehearsal so some people 
got to come in and watch. They 
were super excited to be there 
and we were super excited to 
have them there, so it was defi-
nitely high energy. They were 
absolutely incredible and their 
director, Alan Gilbert, he was 
fantastic.”

Though the halftime show 

consisted of a variety of songs, 
both Jablonski and Cloutier said 
the finale stood out most for 
them.

Pasquale wrote that watching 

the students perform not only 
with the New York Philharmon-
ic, but with the alumni band, the 
brass studios and chorale was an 
experience he won’t forget.

“The students’ reaction is why 

we teach — seeing their faces 
as they were playing is a high-
light of my career thus far,” he 
wrote. “The (Michigan March-
ing Band’s) performance was 
fantastic and we are so proud of 
them. What they accomplished 
is testament that Michigan has 
the best and brightest students 
in the world. It was a great day 
for the School of Music, Theatre 
& Dance and Michigan Athlet-
ics. It was a great day for the 
legacy, tradition and spirit of 
Michigan.”
