Wednesday afternoon, more than 40 people — the majority from the University of Michigan Romance Language and Literature Department — participated in a demonstration on the Diag as a part of the “Ni Una Menos” movement, with the aim of exposing violence toward women in Latin America and the United States. The event was one of many of its kind that took place Wednesday across the United States to commemorate the killing of Lucia Perez, a young Argentenian woman. Perez was brutally raped and killed last week in La Plata, the capital of Argentina’s Buenos Aires province, immediately resulting in several demonstrations across the country. “The (#NiUnaMenos) movement was originally to protest against gender violence, and especially all the women who are killed in Mexico Argentina, Guatemala and Colombia, but it’s turned into something greater,” said Rackham student Ludmila Ferrari The phrase “Ni Una Menos” was coined in 1993 in a poem written by Susana Chavez. In the poem, Chavez references In Ron Weiser’s third bid for a seat on the University of Michigan’s Board of Regents, the former ambassador and University philanthropist wants voters to know he means business — literally. Weiser founded prominent real estate firm McKinley Associates Inc. nearly 50 years ago, and served as ambassador to Slovakia under former President George Bush from 2001 to 2005. He also chaired the Michigan Republican Party from 2009 to 2011. Currently, he has a role in Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign by fundraising as part of the Trump Victory Committee. He previously ran for regent unsuccessfully in 2014. In 2012, Weiser began a campaign for the role but dropped out to focus on his position as finance chairman for the Republican National Committee. In his 2014 campaign, Weiser focused on issues of student affordability but ultimately lost the race to current regent Mike Behm (D) by a margin of 4,835 votes. This time around, he said he hopes to capture the seat by honing in on rising tuition rates and a growing budget. “We need to keep the University as affordable as possible,” he said. “It’s not fair to burden kids.” Weiser pointed to his diverse background in both bureaucracy and business as reasons he’s well suited for the job. “There’s no businesspeople, especially ones that have been involved in bureaucracy,” he said of the University’s current Board of Regents. “I learned a lot in the State Department about getting things done.” One current regent, Denise Ilitch (D–Bingham Farms), does have notable business experience — she is president of Ilitch Enterprises, owner of Denise Ilitch Designs and the owner and publisher of Ambassador Magazine. Ilitch and fellow sitting regent Laurence Deitch (D–Bloomfield Hills) are running incumbent campaigns to regain their seats come the general election Nov. 8. Carl Meyers, Republican and former treasurer of the Michigan GOP, is also competing for a seat on the board. Weiser’s campaign website touts his ability to “run the U of M like a business.” In an interview, however, he softened that claim slightly. “I would run the University not like a business, it’s more like an NGO,” he said, referring to non-governmental organizations. “Students are customers... I always take time to meet with students.” To combat the increase in The city of Ann Arbor has begun planning for this year’s wintertime deer cull, the second iteration of the city’s four- year plan to manage its deer population. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources gave Ann Arbor permission to kill up to 100 deer within city boundaries last December. The first part of the cull took place earlier this year between January and March, killing 63 deer. Ann Arbor released its 2017 deer management plan, which calls for the use of both a lethal cull and non-lethal sterilization methods to control the deer population, Friday. The management plan also proposes developing an educational program for residents to protect their property, such as by fencing or refraining from keeping certain plants. The cull was highly unpopular among many citizens and some members of City Council — when the it was first introduced — citizens expressed concern over michigandaily.com Ann Arbor, Michigan Thursday, October 20, 2016 ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIX YEARS OF EDITORIAL FREEDOM GOT A NEWS TIP?

At watch parties for the final presidential debate Wednesday night, hosted by the University of Michigan’s chapters of College Democrats and Students for Hillary as well as the College Republicans, students divided along party lines with two distinct interpretations of who won the debate and how each candidate performed. During the debate, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump discussed a range of issues, from debt and entitlement reform, immigration, economy, the Supreme Court, foreign hot spots and fitness to be president. One of the more significant moments of the debate came about halfway through, when Trump was asked if he would concede the election if he were to lose. Over the past month, the candidate has been raising concerns that the election will be rigged against him — claims that have been met with a critical response. In response, Trump said, “I’ll tell you at the time,” an unprecedented answer for a candidate in recent history.

Moderated by Associate prof of Public Policy John Ciorciari, the director of the International Policy Center, the talk began with Lin offering a general overview of the recent developments in the Chinese economy. Though the Chinese government announced Wednesday that growth in GDP for the last economic quarter was 6.7 percent, Lin acknowledged that recently, growth has been a disappointment and compared to past years, this rate is low. However, Lin said China is a transitional economy moving into an era in which domestic consumer spending will drive growth. He added that other emerging economies, like those in Brazil and Russia, have also seen their growth rates decline in recent years.
