‘U’ plans N. Campus housing
M ANDAL A M E DITATION
James Lewis, vice presi-
dent
for
student
affairs,
announced the University
would consult a large group of
students concerning the early
planning stages of a co-ed
dormitory on North Campus.
The potential plans also
included the construction of a
fraternity and sorority “row,”
along with 800 apartments
designated for married stu-
dents.
Lewis was asked about an
expected housing shortage
for the following fall semes-
ter. He said the problem
would be combatted by an
“intense” campaign to house
more students and Ann Arbor
residents together. Lewis esti-
mated that 200 more students
could be housed through such
an initiative.
Thirty years ago this
week (Oct. 28, 1985)
LSA’s 15-year-old policy
of denying credit to ROTC
students
taking
military
education
courses
came
under review by an LSA
panel, with the proposal of
rescinding the policy on the
table.
According
to
Classical
Studies Prof. Bruce Frier, a
three-member subcommit-
tee established by the LSA
Curriculum Committee was
looking into every aspect of
the policy, including the aca-
demic quality of courses.
LSA junior Jules Valley
said it was unfair that LSA
did not recognize these
credits.
“The fact that the Engi-
neering School recogniz-
es those credits and LSA
doesn’t is not very fair,”
Valley said. “(ROTC) is very
time consuming and I don’t
get any credit for it.”
The policy against giv-
ing credit for ROTC courses
was established in 1970, and
had already withstood two
attempts to reverse the deci-
sion in 1975 and 1979.

the Michigan men’s soccer

Students explore world of sports
business at Ross conference
50 survivors attend Hillel
Conference on the Holocaust
Organized by
students, annual
event draws more
than 400 attendees
By LYDIA MURRAY
Daily Staff Reporter
More than 400 students
gathered Friday at the fourth
annual Michigan Sports Busi-
ness Conference to hear from
several speakers prominent in
the field.
Jaymee Messler, president
of the sports media platform
The Players’ Tribune, deliv-
ered the afternoon keynote
address, in which she discussed
her company’s unique take on
sports media and gave advice
for young women looking for
careers in the sports industry.
Messler said the goal of her
online publication is to give
athletes the opportunity to tell
their story in a way that they
would not be able to with tra-
ditional media. Founded by for-
mer MLB player Derek Jeter,
the site provides athletes the
chance to directly tell their
own stories through a variety
of mediums, whether articles,
videos or other formats.
“Each athlete is paired with
an editor and if there’s some-
thing specific that the athlete
wants to talk about, the editor
will work with them to tran-
scribe their conversation,” she
said.
Messler said this kind of
relationship is built on trust.
“Because they know how
that’s going to be, their guard
is down and they’re a lot more
open,”
she
said.
“Nothing
goes up without the athlete’s
approval.”
Messler
said
people
are
beginning to see The Play-
ers’ Tribune as an alternative
sports news site and not as a
much as a direct competitor to
traditional media.
“We do look at ourselves as
a complement to the media,
not in any way, shape or form
a replacement,” she said. “Now
that we’ve been around for a
little while, it’s clear that we
aren’t going to be a threat.”
Messler also gave advice
to women aspiring to join the
male-dominated field of exec-
utive-level sports management.
She emphasized the impor-
tance of having confidence and
looking to established women
as mentors.
“I would just say, be proac-
tive, be confident, be yourself,”
she said. “Think about what
you’re passionate about and
what experiences you want to
have. Look for people like me in
the industry and use them as a
resource. Look for mentors.”
On the sports industry as
a whole, Messler said she is
pleased with the changes she
has seen in regard to opportu-
nities for women.
“One thing that I’m very
happy to see is that there are a
lot more jobs and opportunities
available for women today then
when I first started getting into
this industry,” she said.
Business sophomore Jenn
Smith said she appreciated
hearing from a woman in power
within the sports industry.
“I thought it was really help-
ful just to see a woman in a
powerful position speaking to
us,” she said. “In the Business
School you don’t get to see a
lot of women that are in those
positions that you can actually
talk to and look up to.”

ANDREW COHEN/Daily
Gerry Kraus, a Holocaust survivor from Berlin, discusses his experiences in Nazi Germany with students at the annual
Conference on the Holocaust Luncheon held at Hillel on Sunday.
Attendees tell
World War II
stories at 9th
annual meeting
By JACKIE CHARNIGA
Daily Staff Reporter
More than 50 Holocaust
survivors from Metro Detroit
convened at Hillel on Sunday
to share their experiences with
students during the ninth annu-
al Conference on the Holocaust.
The room held roughly 30
numbered tables, with one or
two survivors seated at each.
Attendees
were
encouraged
to move from table to table,
hearing accounts from those
who were displaced from their
homes during World War II.
Tilly
Shames,
executive
director of Hillel, said descen-
dants of Holocaust survivors
have a responsibility to learn
about their journeys and inform
future generations.
“We’re at a time where we
will not have many years left
with Holocaust survivors who
can
share
their
first-hand
accounts of their lives in East-
ern Europe before, during, and
after the Holocaust,” she said.
LSA sophomore Gabby Roth,
co-president of COTH, said her
involvement with the organiza-
tion was influenced by her late
grandfather, a Holocaust survi-
vor from Czechoslovakia who
made a priority of preserving
his memories for future genera-
tions.
“It was really important to
me to do something on campus
that honored his legacy,” Roth
said. “It’s definitely a big part of
my identity, and I wanted to get
involved in something that edu-
cated people on campus about
the Holocaust.”
Roth said it has become
increasingly difficult for COTH
to contact the same volume of
survivors, as many pass away
each year.
“From last year to this year
it was much harder to get sur-
vivors to come,” Roth said. “It’s
really unfortunate, but it’s the
last few years that survivors are
around to tell their stories.”
Roth said students are eager
to hear survivors recount their
histories, but often find it diffi-
cult when probing for details.
“The survivors, that’s what
they want to do, they want to
answer these questions, they
want to educate people,” Roth
said.
Business senior Ariel Berger,
co-president of COTH, said the
organization began with the
goal of keeping Holocaust mem-
ories alive.
“As students, we are present-
ed with the incredible oppor-
tunity of being able to hear
first-hand the stories of these
survivors and their unimagi-
nable hardships as well as their
triumphs,” Berger said.
