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.” – WILL FEUER ANDREW COHEN/Daily Ann Arbor resident Michelle Brosius surveys the aftermath of a controlled burn, aimed at reducing fire hazards during the summer, outside the Ann Arbor YMCA Tuesday.

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. GREG GOSS/Daily 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 See CPR, Page 3A 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 — @wkutler “ 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.
