midterm is due tomorrow....
When the temperatures were
higher than normal in January,
many believed the weather
would get back to normal soon.
Winter months at the
University of Michigan normally
consist of below-freezing
temperatures and a lot of snow.
But here, in the middle of
February, some might say Spring
Break has arrived early.
Many students have
expressed their appreciation of
the sunny days. The Michigan
Students account wrote on
Twitter, “Ann Arbor’s sunshine
and clear, blue skies is making
me feel all kinds of happy
today!”
Despite a positive reaction to
the warmth, a new study led by
Ian Winkelstern, a postdoctoral
researcher in the Department
of Earth and Environmental
Sciences at the University,
found this latest warming to be
harmful to rising sea levels.
The last time it was this
warm, cold water that had
melted from Greenland’s ice
sheets was flowing as far
down the Atlantic Ocean
as Bermuda, altering the
ecosystem and changing the
ocean’s climate. Winkelstern
told the Michigan News this
could destroy the coral reefs
of Bermuda, flood North
America and cause Europe’s
temperature to drop.
“If a big enough chunk of
Greenland falls off, which has
clearly happened in the past
and has clearly caused these
dramatic changes in the past,
there’s no reason to think
it couldn’t happen again,”
Winkelstern told the Michigan
News. “We’re doing a pretty
good job of melting it right now.”
Regardless of whether this
warm-up is from the effects of
climate change, get ready for the
warm days and sunny skies to
continue this weekend and next
week.

ON THE DAILY: CAMPUS WEATHER HEATS UP FOR VALENTINES
HAYLEY MCLAUGHLIN/Daily
LSA English professor Walter Cohen presents on issues of the Jewish identity and modern-
ist fiction in the Thayer building on Tuesday.
FACT AND FICTION
championed affordable housing
reform this year, while Sarkar
advocated for increased mental
health resources as a part of the
Mental Health Leaders Network
last
year.
eMerge’s
executive
candidates, though, are shaping
their campaign around more than
policy credentials.
Together, if voted into office,
the pair would be the first women
elected on one ticket as president
and vice president since at least
1993.
Much of the excitement about
eMerge’s launch, and indeed
the party’s platform as a whole,
centers around these questions
of identity and inclusion. Driving
the platform is Sarkar and Jawad’s
aim to broaden the base of voices
in student government, to include
groups on campus not familiar
with, or even faithful in, CSG.
“It’s about representation and
empowerment,” Sarkar said. “We
want students to speak without
us necessarily speaking for them.
Some students don’t feel like
CSG does anything for them …
CSG should listen and not be
autonomous because 10 people in
a room don’t know what’s best for
43,000.”
Jawad, clad in hijab, is quick
to
clarify
neither
candidate
represents all women of color.
She
agreed,
though,
that
as
a
low-income
Lebanese-
American Muslim, the politics of
representation greatly affected her
time on CSG. The average member
of CSG, a recent demographics
self-survey reported, is white,
hetereosexual and male — and
37.2 percent of the governing body
comes from homes earning more
than $250,000 a year.
“Our identities are pivotal,”
Jawad said. “There is power
working with students different
from yourself, and me being
different is a new avenue for
students who look like me. My
identities haven’t been represented
before. I want them to know this is
a real thing you can do.”
“I forced myself to break the
homogeneity,” Sarkar said. “Some
people told us not to run together
as two women of color, and that
to me was the most empowering
thing. We can still win … we know
how important it is to bring people
who look like us to the table.”
Current CSG Rep. Arlyn Reed,
an LSA junior, hasn’t endorsed
eMerge, but lauded Sarkar and
Jawad’s credentials.
“Even talking to my friends, a lot
of people are asking if they can do
it,” she said. “And they absolutely
can. I think representation is
important, and that this is really
cool.”
In a year fraught with racial
tension and political anxiety,
eMerge hopes to foster unity and
collaboration,
following
much
in the footsteps of Schafer’s
stated goals. Many of its short-
term policy proposals, labeled
“hold us to it,” were crafted
with the entire student body in
mind. Such initiatives include
stronger Wi-Fi on the Diag and
off campus, improved bathroom
facilities and making phone and
computer chargers available at
on-campus study spots. Campaign
Communications Director Cassie
Fields, an LSA junior, said the
goals are simple, but tangible.
“We want to make it easier for
students to be students, and (make)
campus more accessible,” she said.
“There’s no false advertising.”
Jawad agreed small barriers to
accessibility can often amount to
significant hurdles. She strives to
create a centralized hub for
students to find both resources
and avenues to lobby for
even more. This year, Jawad
helped launch the Leadership
Engagement
Scholarship,
which
is
geared
toward
alleviating
the
economic
burden
of
extracurricular
activities.
“Coming from economic
hardship,
I
know
how
important it is to convey
those resources,” she said.
“The economic disparity is
really reflected in student
engagement.”
eMerge
accordingly
weaves inclusion into most
of its broader goals: creating
mentorship
programs
for
non-traditional, multilingual
and first-generation students;
connecting students to service
opportunities and expanding
in-state tuition benefits to
undocumented graduate and
non-traditional students.
