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. —TANYA MADHANI 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 Event examines how hip hop can work toward social change 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.
