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.
