ON THE DAILY

Michigan’s primary may be

over, but at least one political
group isn’t willing to let its
influence in the election fade just
yet.

A new anti-Trump Snapchat

geofilter spread across Ohio
State University’s campus this
week drawing on the football
rivalry between the University
of Michigan and OSU, reading
“Trump Loves Michigan, Say
No to Trump.” An animation of
Trump’s hair sits on the letter
“C” in “Michigan,” and the letter
”O” in “No” resembles Ohio
State’s block O. The geofilter was
paid for by American Future
Fund, according to a disclaimer
on the image.

Ohio, along with several

other states, heads to the polls
Tuesday. Trump, who won the
Michigan primary on March 8
with about 36.5 percent of the
vote, is tied for first in current

polls with Ohio Governor John
Kasich with both at about 38
percent according to Real Clear
Politics.

American Future Fund is a

tax-exempt organization that
advocates a “conservative and
free market viewpoint.” The
group has previously spoken
out against candidates beside
Trump, including Kasich, with a
$1 million ad campaign in New
Hampshire that labelled Kasich
as an “Obama Republican,”
according to the New York
Times.

Michigan was also featured

in an Ohio T.V. ad from Trump’s
campaign,
which argued
that Kasich had
spent “most
of his time
everywhere
but Ohio —
especially

Michigan”.

The

Democratic
candidates
are also
running
a close
campaign
in Ohio,
with polls
estimating
that Hillary
Clinton was
5 points
ahead of
Bernie Sanders, 51
percent to 46 percent.

Attendees express
frustration with
current University

services

By GRACE CANFIELD

For the Daily

A vigil held Tuesday evening

on the Diag aimed to provide
students with a forum to talk about
how mental health is handled on
campus.

About 15 students gathered in

front of Hatcher Graduate Library
for the vigil in response to the
death of a student Monday night.

Word of the vigil was spread

mainly through the anonymous
social media app Yik Yak, which
students on campus use frequently
for everything from questions
about campus life to posts about
subjects of mental health.

At Tuesday’s vigil, students

shared experiences of their own
experiences with mental health,

along with concerns over the
stigma on campus surrounding
depression and self-harm.

A
common
theme
among

students at the vigil was frustration
with University of Michigan’s
Counseling
and
Psychological

Services, the on-campus resource
for students seeking counseling
services
for
anxiety
and

depression, as well as other mental
health crises.

Engineering
sophomore

Jacqueline Malkin described a
six-week waiting process from
the time of her initial move to seek
assistance to her first counseling
appointment.

“Between when I signed the

papers and when I got my initial
consultation, it was three weeks,”
Malkin said. “I didn’t get to see my
psychologist for weekly counseling
… for six weeks after I signed
papers.”

LSA sophomore Karly Carson

also expressed frustration with
how her CAPS counselor helped
her through her anxiety.

“She told me I had to stop

thinking that way,” Carson said.
“She told me, ‘You’re stressed out,
we’re all stressed out, you need to
get over it,’ basically.”

She
added
that
University

Health Service ultimately provided
more assistance.

“I also used UHS, and they were

a lot more helpful to me, as far as
medication goes,” Carson said.
“The psychologist I saw was very
helpful. She helped me learn to …
basically meditate, and just to calm
down.”

1,130 individuals had signed an

online petition as of Wednesday
morning calling on the University
to to increase mental health service.

Many students had suggestions

during the vigil for alternatives
to address campus mental health
besides services like CAPS and
UHS. Liz Zhang, Social Work and
Public Health graduate student,
said she believes the answer lies
with the student body.

“CAPS can’t be the only answer.

It is like the formal way of thinking
about mental health,” Zhang said.
“Overall, change needs to happen
bottom-up, grassroots, to really
change the culture.”

Engineering
sophomore

Michael Oshatz echoed those
sentiments.

“We need a culture here of

caring,” Oshatz said. “We really
need to stop being cutthroat with
each other. We need to really
realize that this is a huge university
— people get lonely. It’s not an easy
thing to do to change a culture like
that, but it’s the only thing we can
do, I think, is to change the way we
look at each other.”

Dr. Todd Sevig, director of

CAPS, wrote in an e-mail the
Mental Health Service held extra
hours Tuesday.

“Whenever a student dies, it’s

such a great loss to our community,
and we need to support each
other in extra ways,” Sevig wrote.
“CAPS had additional walk in crisis
counselors available today, and we
are in the process of setting group
support with Residence Education
staff. We also have been consulting
with others who are supporting

At vigil, students discuss their
experiences with mental health

Central Student Government
talks online presence of CAPS

Body also passes

resolution on tuition
for undocumented
graduate students

By ANNA HARITOS

Daily Staff Reporter

At
Tuesday’s
meeting,

representatives of the University
of Michigan’s Central Student
Government discussed funding
and the University Counseling
and
Psychological
Services’

website, as well as passing a
resolution
on
undocumented

and
non-traditional
graduate

students.

The meeting opened with LSA

senior Jacob Ruby, chair of the
Student Organization Funding
Commission at the University,
updating the council on SOFC’s
progress
in
regard
to
the

distribution of money among
student clubs and organizations.

“Thanks
to
the
online

application
the
quality
of

requests for funding has gone
up,” he said. “We had $500,000
in requests last semester, and
so far this semester we already
have $750,000 in requests. If we
stick within our range we won’t
be giving out very much money
to student orgs, but we will not
go over our budget.”

The topic of funding did not

stop with Ruby’s executive
report. Business junior Ben
Meisel, chair of CSG’s Finance
Committee,
introduced
a

new resolution to alter the
distribution of the CSG budget.
If the suggested budget is
passed, just under $7,000 will
be moved from CSG’s General
Account
to
the
Legislative

Discretionary
Account.
The

money in the latter account

would be used toward student
resources like St. Patrick’s Day
dining hours and hand dryers in
the C.C. Little Science Building.

Meisel
said
he
thought

the shift would impact how
accessible CSG funds were to
the student body.

“I believe we’ve done amazing

work so far this semester as a
funding body,” he said. “We
have more things coming up
and
representatives
excited

about improving the student
body. Finances shouldn’t stop
them if it is within the means
of our organization. It’s a no
brainer to me that we should
create accessibility to use money
that was given by students for
students.”

Additionally, a resolution to

allocate funds for the MUSIC
Matters
2016
concert
went

through first review by the
assembly.
Business
senior

Jibran Ahmed, MUSIC Matters
president,
said
increasing

funding to his organization
could help improve the quality
of events and activities held for
SpringFest on April 13.

“The costs for this year’s

festival will be higher than
they were in the past,” he said.
“We give money to student
organizations that want to
do more, but we are running
into issues. So the money
would be allocated to those
specific organizations as a way
to create more engaging and
entertaining events.”

Among
new
business

discussed was a resolution
to
have
CSG
encourage

CAPS to improve its website.
The
resolution
states
that

the
current
website
does

not present a clear way for
students to go about making
an appointment or accessing

additional
resources.
The

resolution will be reviewed
further at CSG’s next meeting.

Ford senior Sloane Forbush,

who authored the resolution,
said the current website is not
user-friendly. The resolution
proposes that CAPS to adopt
a format similar to that of
the Ohio State University’s
Psychological Services website,
which Forbush said has better
organization and structure.

LSA junior Cam Dotson,

co-author of the resolution,
echoed her remarks.

“Students who are going

through
these
traumatic

experiences don’t want click
through all these links,” he said
“We want to ease the service,
make it easier to use and make
finding help through CAPS
more accessible.”

During
the
community

concerns section of the meeting,
six individuals came to address
the chamber on a resolution
to encourage the University
to extend in-state tuition to
undocumented graduate and
non-traditional
students
in

Michigan. The assembly passed
the resolution.

One
of
the
speakers,

Ph.D. candidate Persephone
Hernandez-Vogt,
said
it’s

important for non-traditional
students in Michigan to have
affordable tuition.

“It’s wonderful that this is

available to undergraduates, but
it’s so important that everyone
has access to it,” she said. “It
would offer more affordable
opportunities to undocumented
and non-traditional graduate
students who would qualify
for the in-state tuition if in
undergrad.”
