Business fraternity Phi Chi
Theta sold puppy chow as part
of their money-raising efforts on
Monday to benefit their capstone
projects for the semester. LSA
freshman Sydney Watson, a
member of the organization, said
the goal was to finish the semester
with $400. Yesterday was their
first day fundraising, she said, and
they had already collected $50.
“Since it’s our first day, we’ve
just made the puppy chow
yesterday and raised that money
after being out here for an hour,”
she said. “It’s pretty good I think.”
LSA freshman Juhi Katti said
it was the winter 2016 semester
pledge class is responsible for
raising the whole $400, and last
fall semester’s pledge class used
the puppy chow fundraiser as
well.
Watson said she thinks the
fundraiser will be successful by
the end of the semester, but also
snoted they might try developing
other fundraising tactics.
“We
might
have
to
do
something
else,
just
looking
around to see what other people
are doing and what’s working
for them to help us come up with
different ideas of what we should
do, but I think it’s pretty feasible,”
she said.
Another student organization
tabling at the intersection of
Mason, Angell, Tisch and Haven
halls, MEconomics, was also
fundraising Monday.
To spread the word about
their
economics
conference,
“Economics in Motion,” the
orginzation used Taco Bell tacos
as a fundraiser rather than baked
goods.
LSA
freshman
Adam
Giacomelli, who came up with
the idea to use tacos, said it
was
incorporated
into
their
fundraising to stand out from
other organizations.
“I come through here all the
time, and I’m really mad that
Taco Bell isn’t in the League
anymore,” he said. “It just seemed
like a unique thing that not many
people do. I always see doughnuts
or puppy-chow, but I’ve never
seen Taco Bell.”
Rather than fundraising using
Mexican cuisine or a baked goods,
student
organization
Timmy
Global Health, which fundraises
for
medical
supplies
and
sustainable health projects in the
Dominican Republic, advertised
their first annual benefit dinner at
their table Monday.
LSA senior Naveen Menon,
member of Timmy Global Health,
said this year they decided to
incorporate
local
restaurants
into the benefit dinnear, which
differs from how the event was
organized in the past.

Workshop features
remarks from
Detroit-based
artists
By SOPHIE SHERRY
Daily Staff Reporter
Monday evening, a small
group of students gathered in
East Quadrangle for a workshop
focused on the intersection
of hip-hop and social justice.
The event, titled “Hip-Hop
as
Activism
Workshop,”
included
presentations
on
hip-hop culture as well as
spoken word and breakdancing
performances.
The workshop was one of the
first events featured as a part of
Detroit Week, sponsored by the
Semester in Detroit program,
which is dedicated to learning
and celebrating Detroit culture
at the University of Michigan.
Piper Carter, founder of The
Foundation — a nonprofit that
aims to shift the gender balance
in the hip-hop field— began
the workshop by sharing her
experiences as a female hip-
hop artist growing up in New
York and Detroit. When Carter
moved back to Detroit as an
adult, she said she felt there was
a lack of safe spaces for female
hip-hop artists.
“I moved here from New
York City, where I am a part of
a lot of women in hip-hop — it
is just normal, there is a huge
woman in hip-hop movement
there,” Carter said. “And when
I came to Detroit, when I met
most of the women that really
love hip-hop, they had so much
internalized
misogyny
and
oppression.”
Her group, which began as
an annual event, now works
to achieve its goal of shifting
gender paradigms by creating
spaces that both welcomed and
demanded respect of women.
“We wanted a space where
everybody could come and join
in and feel free,” Carter said.
She noted that spaces which
draw
on
community
have
always existed in hip hop, saying
it was born in the 1970s due to
community collaboration.
“What the hip-hop space was
created for was to harness the
strength of the community,”
Carter said. “Children began
gathering in these spaces so
they can express themselves
and come together.”
Michael Reyes, a spoken word
artist from southwest Detroit,
echoed Carter’s sentiment in
remarks during the workshop.
“For me, hip-hop is a tool
that I use in engaging in critical
thought around issues of social
justice, so it is one tool in my
tool box,” he said. “Another
tool may be door-knocking,
another tool is organizing in my
community.”
Reyes mentors young rappers
and artists in both Detroit and
Chicago,
where
he
worked
with artists such as Chance
the
Rapper
and
Childish
Gambino. He said he thinks the
current state of hip-hop is more
accessible than when he was
growing up in the ‘90s, amid a
battle between underground
and commercial music.
“It’s really interesting for
me to see where music is now

CSG, renovations to Bursley to
be discussed at Regents meeting
Board to vote on
proposal for $4.35
million dining hall
improvement plan
By CAMY METWALLY
Daily Staff Reporter
At their meeting Thursday,
which will be held at University
of
Michigan-Dearborn’s
campus,
the
University’s
Board of Regents will discuss
a
wide
range
of
topics,
including Bursley Dining Hall
renovations, as well as hear
updates from Central Student
Government
updates
and
faculty governance requests.
Bursley Improvements
At the meeting, members
will vote to approve the Joseph
Aldrich
and
Marguerite
Knowlton
Bursley
Hall
Dining Improvements project.
Housing resources will fund
the
estimated
$4,350,000
renovation
costs,
and
the
construction is expected to be
completed in fall 2016.
With
approximately
1,270
students living in Bursley, it
contains the only residential
dining hall on North Campus.
However, the current model
for the hall differs from other
residential
dining
halls
on
campus.
The
project
aims
to
renovate
approximately
4,700 gross square feet of the
facility to redesign the serving
area, allowing for five serving
stations with different options
to mirror other spaces on
campus.
The
last
dining
hall
renovation project on campus
was in South Quadrangle, which
re-opened its doors in fall 2014
after being closed one year for
construction. The facility was
the main focus of a $60 million
project to renovate South Quad
— it is now the largest dining
hall on Central Campus.
An
estimated
15
on-site
construction
jobs
will
be
created
by
the
Bursley
Improvements
project,
and
Stantec Architecture Inc. will
design the reconfiguration.
Central Student Government
Update
In its March report to the
regents,
CSG
will
request
additional staff members for
the
University’s
Counseling
and
Psychological
Services
program. CSG’s report, released
ahead of the meeting, points
to other universities’ recent
initiatives to increase CAPS
funding, such as Ohio State
University, which has doubled
its budget.
The national standard for
counselor to student ratio is
1:1,000, according to the CSG
report, and the report cites that
an additional 11 staff members
would have to be hired to reach
this
level.
Acknowledging
the unattainability of such a
goal in the immediate future,
CSG instead is calling for the
University to create a five-
year plan to work toward this
benchmark.
The report also expresses
concern
over
increasing
enrollment numbers, citing
a potential increase of 500
students in the 2016 incoming
class. CSG will suggest that
such a rise in enrollment
numbers
may
overwhelm
the
current
student
life
programs, including SAPAC,
CAPS, residence halls and
dining facilities.
To balance the increase
in students, CSG will also
emphasize the importance
of
expanding
student-life
resources as well.
