Clinton falls to
Vermont senator
after projected 20-
point win
By LYDIA MURRAY
Daily Staff Reporter
Sen. Bernie Sanders (D–Vt.)
won
Michigan’s
Democratic
presidential primary with 50.1
percent of the vote Tuesday night
after an unexpected surge of vot-
ing in the state broke records and
pushed him over the edge.
Sanders’ rival in the Demo-
cratic contest, Hillary Clinton
earned 48 percent of the vote.
Sanders’ victory comes as a sur-
prise, as previous polls suggested
a decisive victory for Clinton
with a RealClearPolitics polling
average showing her leading by
a 21.4 point margin. This is the
biggest upset since the 1984 New
Hampshire primary when Wal-
ter Mondale, who was favored to
win by 17.1 percent, lost to Gary
Hart.
Because Michigan’s delegates
are
allocated
proportionally,
Sanders is slated to gain 77 of the
state’s 130 delegates from his vic-
tory, with the other 53 going to
Clinton.
The senator did particularly
well in cities like Ann Arbor
where there is a large popula-
tion of young, white liberals,
and where turnout was unusu-
ally huge. At the University of
Michigan, students appeared to
be leaning toward Sanders based
on student interviews outside of

grant
By LYDIA BARRY
Daily Staff Reporter
The Ann Arbor Downtown
Development
Authority
has
granted $175,000 for the Ann
Arbor Farmers Market Infra-
structure Improvement Project.
The funding, announced Feb.
26, is slated to be used to con-
struct an improved, partially
indoor market space that can
operate year-round, particular-
ly to extend the market’s open
hours in the winter months.
Currently, the market operates
Saturdays in the winter months
and Wednesdays and Saturdays
May through December.
The project, which is yet to be
approved by the Ann Arbor City
Council, proposes a new roofed
structure that features large
glass panel doors that can open
CAPS Director
Todd Sevig also
addresses body on
resource allocation
By ANNA HARITOS
Daily Staff Reporter
The University of Michigan’s
Central Student Government pro-
posed an amendment to the Board
of Regents bylaws to reintroduce a
section pertaining to student voice
at their meeting Tuesday.
The body also heard from Todd
Sevig, director of Counseling and
Psychological Services.
In his executive communica-
tions to the body, CSG President
Cooper Charlton, LSA senior,
addressed the previously existing
Section VII of the regent’s bylaws,
which discussed student affairs
and the incorporation of student
opinions in University affairs.
“In 2011 the Regent bylaws
were ‘cleaned-up,’ so-to-speak,”
he said. “Section VII was removed,
which indicates the importance
of student voice in the process of
decision making in the University.
We want to reinstitute (Section
VII) and make sure that there is a
healthy relationship. Let’s codify
and show how important it is for
students to have a voice in the
decision-making process.”
Public Policy sophomore Jacob
Pearlman, CSG student legal coun-
sel, wrote in an e-mail interview
that CSG was working with sever-
al executive officers to re-add the
language.
“CSG is working closely with
Vice Presidents Churchill and
Harper to add language to the cur-
rently nonexistent Chapter VII,”
Pearlman wrote. “This language
will reaffirm the University’s com-
mitment to ensure that students
are in an environment to thrive as
Leaders and Best.”
Pearlman added that CSG is
currently collaborating to put
together the proposed language,
and aim to have it adopted in the
next few months. Changing the
Regents’ bylaws requires a vote of
the Regents at one of their regu-
larly scheduled meetings.

About 15 students and
faculty members gathered

the gender and minority
gaps in fields such as soft-
ware engineering and cod-
ing.
Women Who Launch, a
student-run entrepreneurial
organization, sponsored the
screening. Founded in the
spring of 2014 by three Ross

Donald Trump speaks to supporters at a pre-caucus rally in Cedar Rapids, IA on February 1, 2016.
Trump wins
Michigan by over
10 percent, with
close race for second
By LYDIA MURRAY
Daily Staff Reporter
Frontrunner Donald Trump
won the Michigan Republican pri-
mary Tuesday night with 37.7 per-
cent of the Republican vote.
Michigan’s demographics are
fairly representative of the U.S.
population as a whole in terms of
minority population proportion,
median income and age distribu-
tion, according to U.S. census data.
though those demographics don’t
necessarily correspond with the
electorate.
Trump was followed by Gov.
John Kasich (R–Ohio) who won
25.9 percent. Gov. Ted Cruz (R–
Tex.) — who nationally follows
Trump by 15.2 percent according to
a RealClearPolitics polling average
— came in third with 22.5 percent
of the vote, and Sen. Marco Rubio
(R–Fla.) finished fourth earning
only 9 percent of the vote, with 25.5
percent of precincts reporting.
Washtenaw County was one
of two counties in the state with
a majority vote for Kasich, along
with Kalamazoo County.
Trump continues to lead the
delegate counts at 384 delegates
with Sen. Ted Cruz (R–Tex.) in
second with 300 and Sen. Marco
Rubio (R–Fla.) trailing in a distant
third with 151 delegates. A total of
1,237 delegates are needed to win
the Republican nomination.
