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

DDA plans to create 
heated indoor space 

using $175,000 

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 
in Palmer Commons Tues-

day evening for a screening 
of the documentary “CODE: 
Debugging the Gender Gap,” 
a film that aims to address 
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 
School of Business MBA stu-

dents, the group encourages 
female 
entrepreneurship 

through workshops, speak-

Organization co-founder

THE MICHIGAN DIFFERENCE

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.
