CLAIRE ABDO/Daily

Detroit resident Piper Carter talks about Foundation, a group supporting women in hip hop, Monday in East Quadrangle 

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.
