Former 
President 
Bill 

Clinton joined United Auto 
Workers 
union 
members 

and others for the annual 
Detroit Labor Day Parade 
Monday 
morning 
aiming 

to demonstrate the Hillary 
Clinton 
campaign’s 

commitment 
to 
working 

families.

The parade began at 9:30 

a.m. 
and 
marched 
down 

Michigan Avenue. Bill Clinton 
marched, but did not speak 
during the event which drew 
thousands of union workers 
and other prominent state 
Democrats. 
The 
annual 

parade in Detroit has drawn 
important 
Democratic 

figures in the past, including 
President Barack Obama in 
2008 and Vice President Joe 
Biden 2012 and 2014.

The parade’s theme was 

Your 
Vote 
is 
Your 
Voice 

and 
was 
dedicated 
to 

supporting working families 
and improving unions, as 
well as encouraging voter 
registration.

LSA junior Collin Kelly, 

chair 
of 
the 
University’s 

chapter of College Democrats, 
said 
Bill 
Clinton’s 
visit 

demonstrates 
that 
Hillary 

Clinton 
is 
the 
candidate 

who will best represent the 
interests of the working class.

“Bill Clinton coming to 

Detroit on Labor Day signifies 
the commitment of both the 
Democratic Party and the 
Clinton family to honoring, 
protecting and fighting for 
workers across the nation,” 
he said. “Unions built this 

country, but only Democrats 
seem to remember that. Bill 
Clinton knows that unions are 
part of why America is great, 
and he understands they are 
indispensable for our future.”

Clinton’s appearance was 

one of several similar events 
held by surrogates for his 
wife’s 
campaign 
Monday: 

Hillary Clinton, along with 
running mate Sen. Tim Kaine 
(D–Va.) and Biden, hosted 
events in other Rust Belt 
areas such as Cleveland and 
Pittsburgh. 

In a statement released 

Monday 
morning, 
Hillary 

Clinton 
emphasized 
her 

commitment to workers in 
Michigan, citing her support 
for the auto industry and 
criticizing 
her 
opponent 

Donald Trump, stating that 
his policies would only harm 
the middle class.

“Don’t let anyone tell you 

we can’t ‘Make it in America’ 
anymore,” 
Clinton 
said. 

“Michiganders are proving 
every single day that we can 
still compete and win in a 
global economy.”

Bill Clinton’s visit followed 

a Michigan stop by Trump 
on Saturday at Great Faith 

Ministries 
International 

church 
in 
Detroit 
as 
an 

attempt to court Black voters. 
This was Trump’s third visit 
to the state since his official 
nomination in July. 

Hillary 
Clinton’s 
most 

recent visit to Michigan was 
on Aug. 11, when she addressed 
workers at Futuramic Tool 
& Engineering to talk about 
how her economic plans are 
best suited for the working 
class.

Though a recent Suffolk 

University 
poll 
showed 

Clinton up by 7 points in 

Ten months after the city 

Human 
Rights 
Commission 

published 
a 
42-page 
report 

calling 
for 
an 
independent 

audit of the Ann Arbor Police 
Department, the city manager’s 
office has started taking the 
initial steps toward meeting the 
HRC’s recommendations.

The report called for a review 

of department practices as well 
as the creation of a civilian-run 
police oversight board. It was 
created in wake of a community 
push for police oversight reform 
of the the 2014 shooting death of 
Ann Arbor resident Aura Rosser, 
a Black woman, by an AAPD 
officer. 

Different 
recommendations 

will follow different timelines. 
In a memo released on Aug. 
31, 
City 
Manager 
Howard 

Lazarus released a tentative 
plan for hiring a police auditor, 
who would conduct an audit 
of the AAPD’s internal review 
protocols and communicate the 
results.

Under Lazarus’s timetable, 

the request for contracting an 
auditor would be written with 
community input and released 
by the end of October. The 
auditor would be contracted 
by the end of December with 
City Council approval. Once

Republican 
presidential 

nominee Donald Trump visited 
a Black church Saturday in 
Detroit in an outreach attempt 
to 
the 
African-American 

community. 
Bishop 
Wayne 

T. Jackson, the Great Faith

International 

congregation 
leader, 
hosted 

Trump and sat down with the 
candidate for a one-on-one 
interview with him.

The 
New 
York 
Times 

reoported this visit as Trump’s 
first as a presidential candidate 
to 
an 
African-American 

church. He visited with church 
members and did an interview 
with Jackson, which was not 
open to press. Trump called 
it 
an 
“amazing 
interview” 

on 
Twitter 
Saturday 
and 

complimented Jackson on his 
interviewing skills, going so far 
as to say they were “better than 
the people who are doing that

Members of the University of Michigan football team celebrate with students after defeating Hawaii, 63-3.

After 
intercepting 
Wilton 

Speight’s 
first 
pass 
as 
the 

starting quarterback for the 

Michigan football team, Hawaii 
briefly challenged the prevailing 
notion that they were about to be 
on the receiving end of a blowout 
at Michigan Stadium.

Unfortunately 
for 
the 

Rainbow Warriors, that notion 
was quickly reaffirmed when 
they promptly lost seven yards 
and punted the ball four plays 
later.

Moving 
backwards 
would 

become a recurring theme of the 
game for Hawaii, which had an 
abysmal negative-17 total yards 
at the end of the first quarter 
and needed a strong second half

There was over a 50 percent 

decrease in alcohol and drug-
related hospital visits during 
the first five weeks of school 
at UM last year according 
to Advocate, a Student Life 
Incident database. In the first 
five weeks of the 2013 and 2014 
fall semesters, more than 100 
cases of alcohol- and drug-
related hospital visits were 
reported to the University of 
Michigan through the database. 
In 2015, there were fifty.

There is no data available yet 

for 2016. Officials pointed to 
several reasons for the drastic 
change, including dry Welcome 
Week events, programs created 
by Wolverine Wellness and 
increased support from the 
Department of Public Safety 
and Security and other law 
enforcement agencies.

Beginning in the 2014 school 

year, 
the 
University 
began 

new 
initiatives 
to 
reduce 

student alcohol and drug use 
by shortening Welcome Week, 
the period between student 
move-in and the first day of 
class. Based on the data from 
Advocate, DPSS spokesperson 
Diane Brown said they believe 
the shorter Welcome Week 
contributed to a decline in 
alcohol-related 
emergencies
