UNC researchers create lung cancer treatment University of North Carolina researchers developed a meth- od of treating drug-resistant lung cancer using 50 times less chemotherapy, The Daily Tar- heel reported Sunday. Elena Batrokova, senior author of the study, said she wants to “load tumors with anti-cancer drugs” so patients have higher chance of survival. “We are developing new drug formulations that will allow drugs to be more effi- cient and pass through bar- riers,” Batrokova told the Tarheel. “I’m taking potent drugs that may not be work- ing and developing their drug delivery systems.” Batrokova had help from colleagues at the Eshelman School of Pharmacy’s Cen- ter for Nanotechnology in Drug Delivery. If the drug is pharmaceutically accepted, it would mean fewer side effects and greater chance of recovery for lung cancer patients. — LAUREN LUKENS TOWE R TU NES THREE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW TODAY The first case of the Zika virus in America was diagnosed Tuesday, CNN reported.

CSG talks enhancing race and ethnicity requirements Assembly members bring two resolutions to the floor for review at Tuesday’s meeting By CAMY METWALLY Daily Staff Reporter At their Tuesday meeting, Central Student Government discussed resolutions that would aim to enhance and strengthen the University’s race and ethnicity require- ments. CSG voted on two resolu- tions pertaining to the require- ment. The first resolution supported the expansion of the R&E requirement to all Uni- versity undergraduate schools and colleges. Currently, it only applies to Literature, Science and Arts students. Some other colleges have similarly themed curriculum aspects, such as the Identity, Diversity and Organi- zations requirement in the Ross School of Business. “We think it’s important that all students are being taught this,” said LSA representative Micah Griggs, an LSA junior. “It provides students with the skills to work in a multi-ethnic environment.” Rackham student Trevis Harrold asked about expand- ing the requirement to gradu- ate schools as well. However, Public Policy junior Lakshman Mulperi, a CSG representative, said this currently is not a fea- sible goal because CSG doesn’t have resources to expand it to all graduate colleges as well. Before referring the resolu- tion to the review committee, representatives suggested a clarification be added to deter- mine whether or not other schools would develop their own requirement or adopt LSA’s current standard. LSA’s R&E requirement was established in 1990 in response to the 1987 Black Action Move- ment after a series of racist and discriminatory incidents against students of color that took place on campus. The res- olution highlighted that such instances of discrimination and intolerance continue to ail students today. Expanding the requirement to all colleges was also one of the seven demands issued by the Black Student Union as part of the #BBUM movement in 2014. The second resolution con- sidered by CSG called for the establishment of a support center for R&E courses, simi- lar to other centers such as the Sweetland Writing Center, the Michigan Language Center and the Science Learning Center.

Jim Ananich (D– Flint) said his team is working on addressing the issue at three levels: immediate, short-term and long-term responses. He said the immediate priority is ensuring citizens have access to bottled water and filtration sys- tems, while the short- and long- term actions involve monitoring the health of affected individu- als and repairing infrastructure. Peter Jacobson, professor of health law and policy, said it’s important for the government to take steps to provide follow-up health care for affected citizens, especially children exposed to lead, and pay for water costs. “The pressure should be from the state and federal govern- ment, to provide Flint with the resources the city will need to monitor the children and to pro- vide counseling and educational health therapy,” he said. “The state of Michigan should pay the water bills for Flint residents until the water is safe to drink.” This week, the state Senate will be reviewing a bill recent- ly passed in the state House approving an emergency request from Snyder for $28 million in emergency funding for both short and long-term needs. Ananich said the city is now able to adequately supply resi- dents with the water and filtra- tion systems they need due to donations, meaning the focus moving forward should be on longer-term health monitoring. “All sorts of folks are now pro- viding a really good amount of water to my community,” he said. “We’ve almost sort of turned the corner on the immediate need. The most important focus is to get these kids assessed to see what kind of issues they may have long-term and place them in programs to make sure they get the individualized help they need.” According to state Rep. Shel- don Neeley (D–Flint), the state House is also preparing to con- sider a series of bills as part of the Water Quality and Afford- ability Package; however the bills have not yet been scheduled for hearings. Along with the legislative and executive actions, the U.S. Attor- ney’s office has also launched an investigation into the crisis, spearheaded by former Wayne County assistant prosecutor Todd Flood. However, Jacobson said it is unlikely that any indi- viduals will be charged because of an emergency manager law enacted during Snyder’s first term as governor. The law allows the state to appoint an emergen- cy manager at an earlier stage in the case of a serious financial emergency. Jacobson said this law provides the officials tasked with addressing the water crisis near immunity for the actions taken during an emergency situ- ation. Jacobson said though he doubts residents’ ability to find legal justice for the crisis, he still believes the issue was the fault of the government. “The state failed here,” he said. “I’m not suggesting that the state is anything but culpable.” Amid the crisis, UM-Flint officials have also launched ini- tiatives to aid the Flint commu- nity. Citing a campus fact sheet — which details that water on UM-Flint’s campus is filtered and regularly tested — UM-Flint Chancellor Susan Borrego issued aletter to students on Monday assuring them campus water was safe. According to Borrego, UM-Flint installed water filters across campus after the city advised residents to boil their water in the fall of 2014. Flint residents have also been advised by the state to use filtra- tion systems in their homes, and various groups have donated fil- ters and water bottles to citizens. Terese Olson, professor of civil and environmental engi- neering, said it is unclear how effective these filtration systems truly are, and they should be carefully monitored. “These filters are designed to treat water that’s been polished already,” she said. “It’s an uncer- tain question how well they will work or how long they will work, and there’s not a lot of guidance WATER From Page 1A See WATER, Page 3A See CSG, Page 3A BUSINESS STAFF Hussein Hakim Finance and Operations Manager Claire Ulak Production Manager Jordan Yob Marketing Manager Matt Pfenning UAccounts Manager Asja Kepes Local Accounts Manager Chris Wang Classifieds Manager Colin Cheesman National Accounts Manager Anna He Special Guides and Online Manager Claire Butz Layout Manager
