Nonpartisan elections, new holiday
resolutions passed at CSG meeting
Student Government discusses initiatives in conjunction with City Council
ON THE DAILY: HARBAUGH SIGNS 2035 RECRUIT
Arriving
earlier
than
expected, Jim Harbaugh and
his wife Sarah’s newest son
John Harbaugh was born
yesterday at Mott’s Children’s
Hospital.
According
to
Harbaugh’s
Twitter,
John
weighs 4 pounds and 13 ounces
with an 18 inch wingspan.
On
Twitter,
Harbaugh
called
John
“our
newest
Wolverine.”
On January 6th, Harbaugh
tweeted while at the White
House with Sarah that the
baby was expected to arrive
on February 6th. Despite this
former expecting date, John
had other plans.
The Harbaughs announced
the pregnancy on June 20th.
This is the couple’s fourth
child
but
is
Harbaugh’s
seventh. One of his sons, Jay, is
a tight ends and special teams
coach for the Wolverines and
another son, James,
is a current student
at the University.
“There’s nothing
I’d
rather
be
defined than as a
dad. People define
us men in a lot
of
ways:
doctor,
lawyer,
dentist,
construction
worker,
teacher,
coach. But being
called a dad is the
defining moment,”
Harbaugh
said
in a Free Press
interview.
This
new
addition
to
the
Wolverines
could
not have come at a
better time, replacing safety
Jabrill Peppers who declared
for the NFL draft on Tuesday.
- MATT HARMON
A resolution urging the
city of Ann Arbor to adopt
nonpartisan
November
elections was passed by the
Central Student Government
Tuesday night during its first
meeting of the year.
According to the resolution,
August
primary
elections
make it hard for students to
vote as they are usually not
on campus during the summer
months. This has resulted in
a remarkably low turnout —
under 20 percent — over the
past few years.
City
Council
rejected
a
2015 University of Michigan
proposal to move the 2016
primary election date from
August to July.
The
authors
of
the
resolution,
Public
Policy
junior Nadine Jawad and LSA
senior Noah Betman, point to
prior initiatives the University
has
taken
to
promote
political
participation,
like
the Edward Ginsberg Center
for Community Service and
Learning — a center dedicated
to
engaging
University
students
with
the
greater
Ann Arbor community — and
emphasized the fact that civic
engagement is an ideal held by
the University.
Jawad and Betman also
argued the resolution would
strengthen the relationship
between the city of Ann Arbor
and the University.
The resolution requests CSG
to support of this proposal,
and the authors to present
it to City Council at its next
meeting.
CSG held a town hall last
semester, discussing the high
costs of housing in the city.
A major topic of the town
hall was discussing students’
historically
contentious
relationship with Ann Arbor.
State Rep. Yousef Rabhi (D–
Ann Arbor), who served as a
panelist, emphasized impacts
of increasing housing costs,
like the exclusion of students
of lower socioeconomic status.
“(Ann
Arbor’s)
diversity
is slowly escaping us,” Rabhi
said. “If we don’t work hard
and make sure we have our
full options on where to live,
not only will our student
body become less diverse, our
community will become less
diverse.”
Panelist
Mary
Jo
Callan, director of the
Ginsberg
Center,
a
University
organization
focused
around
social
change,
said
students
can be a huge ally in the
efforts to combat high
costs — Councilmember
Zachary Ackerman (D–
Ward 3) agreed during
the panel, adding that
during city elections in
August, the median age of
the voter is 61 years old.
“(Ackerman) is a true
ally, but he is one of 11,”
Callan said. “Politicians
only
have
as
much
courage as we, voters, the
community, have.”
Jawad also mentioned
that
after
holding
a
town hall and speaking
with many residents of
Ann Arbor, there was
widespread support for
the initiative.
