The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com
Students at the University
of Michigan took to Twitter in
observance of Equal Pay Day Tuesday.
The national event began in 1996
to bring awareness to the unequal
pay women receive throughout the
country.
In a Tweet Tuesday, College
Democrats explained the event is held
in April because that’s how long it
takes women in this country to make
the same salary men made the year
prior.
A tweet from @UmichStudents
echoed that sentiment.
Despite the passing of the Equal
Pay Act in 1955, which required equal
pay for comparable work, women are
still paid about 77-79 cents for every
dollar a man makes, according to
CNN, Pew Research and Fortune. LSA
freshman Will Kutler was one of the
students to express his frustrations
with society’s inability to create an
equal environment on Twitter.
“Shouldn’t take my sister more
than 3 additional months to make
what I do in a year,” Kutler tweeted.
Many supporters of equal pay
currently advocate for the Paycheck
Fairness Act, which would give strong
incentives —like legal implications
for gender differences in pay— for
employers to adhere to the Equal Pay
Act.
Some students emphasized the
need to improve equal pay between
genders, but also between races.
Beyond the University, the day
was heavily recognized by national
figures like Madeleine Albright, the
first woman to become the secretary
of state, emphasized the need to
keep working for equal pay in the
workforce.
“I’ll celebrate when we no longer
need an #EqualPayDay,” she said.
“Until then, we must all keep fighting
to close the gap.”

City of Ann Arbor closes road
ahead of events for SpringFest
North University will
be closed between
Fletcher and Thayer
Wednesday
By LYDIA BARRY
Daily Staff Reporter
With SpringFest slated to take
place at the University of Michigan
Wednesday, a series of road
closures approved by the city of
Ann Arbor will go into effect early
Wednesday morning.
SpringFest, which is hosted by
MUSIC Matters, is an annual event
that features activities around
innovation, art and music. The
event will be located on both North
University Avenue and the Diag.
As a part of the festivities, North
University Avenue between Thayer
Street and Fletcher Street will
be closed all of Wednesday, April
13. Additionally, event planners
expect large crowds will be drawn
to the closing concert featuring
headliner Migos, which will occur
at 8 p.m. in Hill Auditorium,
potentially causing traffic issues
for local residents.
City
Councilmember
Kirk
Westphal (D–Ward 2), an urban
planner by trade, saud despite
closures,
events
are
typically
welcomed by local residents.
“Most folks I interact with really
value all the cultural events going
on in Ann Arbor, and street fairs
and events certainly have a role in
that,” Westphal said. “The beauty
of events that happen downtown
is that typically since we have a
street grid that doesn’t cause more
inconveniences than benefits. So
whether it’s University or a private
organization, historically council
has
welcomed
limited
street
closures”
City Communications Specialist
Robert Kellar said University
street closures can occasionally
prompt local resident complaints
due to the nature of the events,
but University events specifically
do not generate a large number of
complaints throughout the year.
“University
events
tend
to
generate few complaints as they
impact mainly those near campus,”
Kellar said. “Most concerns are
about
access,
inconvenience,
timing or notification. We try to
be proactive by asking applicants
to submit a communication plan;
we also utilize the city e-mail
notifications as well as social
media, and directing residents/
businesses to signing up on the
street closure website so they are
aware in advance of closures.”
If local residents have concerns
or complaints about the traffic
surrounding University related
outdoor events, they can share
them
on
the
city’s
Traffic
Complaint page.

LSA freshman Kayla Fong teaches Rackham student Yi Niu how to do CPR as part of the American Red Cross CPR
promotion event held on Central Campus Tuesday.
Club Sports teaches hands-only
CPR to students walking to class
Organizers hope
education can help
reduce cardiac
arrest death rate
By CHETALI JAIN
Daily Staff Reporter
Monday and Tuesday outside
of East and West Halls, U-M
Club Sports partnered with
SaveMiHeart to train hundreds
of
students
in
performing
hands-only CPR.
Club Sports and SaveMiHeart
collaborated
with
American
Heart
Association,
UM
Emergency Medicine, Huron
Valley
Ambulance
and
American Red Cross to put on
the event, which aimed to raise
awareness about cardiac arrest
and to prepare people for these
emergency situations.
Each day, anywhere from
five to 12 instructors stood
beside the practice mannequins
and
automated
external
defibrillators, ready to train the
students who were passing by.
Stephen Dowker, LSA junior and
SaveMiHeart member, helped
to both organize the event
and teach hands-only CPR to
students.
“We are trying to empower
people to act in situations where
cardiac arrest occurs,” Dowker
said. “The primary goal of
SaveMiHeart as a nonprofit is to
double cardiac arrest survival in
Michigan by the year 2020.”
Robert
Neumar,
chair
of
emergency
medicine
at
the University of Michigan,
attended the event to lend his
support. He said when cardiac
arrest occurs outside of the
hospital, the system of care is
what determines if a person will
survive or not, and less than one
out of 10 people who go through
cardiac
arrest
outside
the
hospital will survive.
“One of the most important
things in a patient’s treatment
is what bystanders can do,”
Neumar said. “Bystander CPR
and AED can double a person’s
chance of surviving.”
Students were trained in
hands-only CPR in about five
minutes.
LSA
sophomore
Musaab
Muhammad
was
walking
back
to
his
dorm
when instructors at the event
encouraged him to get trained.
“I’ve never done CPR before,
and I think it’s a valuable
skill
to
learn,”
Muhammad
said. “I feel prepared, and I’m
happy someone was there to
actually point out the specific
techniques.”
Engineering
sophomore
Charlie Rogers was certified in
CPR a few years ago and felt the
event helped refresh his skills.
“This was really great because
some of the specifics of CPR like
push down two inches into the
chest, how you should place your
hands and the specific steps of
the AED were just kind of foggy
so it was a great refresher,”
Rogers said. “Beginners caught
on really fast. I think the
no-breaths thing really helps a
lot.”
LSA
sophomore
Michelle
Baum said she hadn’t done CPR
since taking a babysitting class
in fourth grade. Baum said she
felt her technique was improved
and felt the event was helpful.
“I think (a) really important
thing they are doing is making
people feel comfortable acting

LSA freshman Will Kutler
tweeted to express
discontent about the
impacts of the gender
pay gap on his sister.
“
happy #equalpayday
!! let’s close the gap!
shouldn’t take my
sister more than 3
additional months to
make what i do in a
year. 79 cents smh

“
In addition to approving the
housing fee increase to $10,870,
the RHA also discussed other
proposals for next year, including
upgraded
drinking
fountains
with water bottle fillers and
extended Java Blu hours when
dining halls are closed.
RHA
President
Lennox
Ramsey,
an
Engineering
sophomore, said proposals they’ve
gotten approved by University
Housing thus far include shifted
weekend dining hall hours and
new lobby access for students not
living in residential halls.
“(Students) can eat earlier in
the morning, the lobby areas of
other halls are going to open up
— you won’t have to wait outside
anymore,” he said.
Ramsey said though he was
confident the housing price hike
is needed due to a heightened
cost of living and operating
costs, discussions like Tuesday’s
were important to give more
context to students who might
face financial pressure from the
change.
