Nothing says Valentine’s Day 
like heart eyes emoji and MoJo 
Cookies.

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.

Members 
of 
eMerge, 
a 

student-run 
political 
party 

campaigning 
for 
Central 

Student Government, kicked 
its campaign off with a meet-
and-greet 
for 
interested 

students to learn more about 
the party’s core team members 
and platform.

eMerge’s core team took 

input 
from 
University 
of 

Michigan 
students 
about 

the 
goals 
of 
their 
party. 

Vice-presidential 
candidate 

Nadine 
Jawad, 
a 
Public 

Policy 
junior, 
and 
other 

candidates 
spoke 
with 

students about opportunities 
to run as a representative 
for the party, join the street 
team to campaign, or aid in 
coordinating 
events 
with 

other organizations.

“Today is an opportunity 

for students to learn about 
what we are trying to do and 
how they can get involved,” 
Jawad said. “We want to 
create a student government 
that allows students to emerge 
out of the crowd and into 
leadership roles.”

According 
to 
eMerge’s 

presidential candidate, LSA 
junior 
Anushka 
Sarkar, 
a 

main focus of the platform is 
breaking down the barriers 
that prevent students from 
becoming 
involved 
with 

student government.

“The purpose of eMerge is 

to create an organization that 
empowers students to rise up 
and be involved in issues and 
initiatives on campus that 
they’re passionate about or 
that affect them,” Sarkar said. 
“We see CSG as a platform for 

students to be involved in the 
things that they care about.”

eMerge 
has 
broken 
up 

its platform into advocacy 
plans and initiative plans. 
Initiative plans focus on easily 
completed projects such as 
extended 
campus 
Wi-Fi, 

improved bathroom facilities, 
and the installation of game-
day hydration stations.

Their 
advocacy 
plans 

focus 
on 
long-term 
goals 

such as expanding in-state 
tuition 
to 
undocumented 

and non-traditional students 
and 
improved 
testing 

accommodation centers.

LSA junior Ryan Dishell 

attended the meet-and-greet 
to determine how he wanted 
to involve himself in CSG.

“I 
like 
that 
they 
have 

short-term goals and long-
term goals; I think it’s really 
important for a platform to 

have a vision, but to also 
have a plan and tangible 
goals that students can get 
done,” Dishell said.

After leaving the meet-

and-greet, 
LSA 
junior 

Kyla Klein said the party 
appeared to bring a new 
perspective to CSG.

“I was really interested 

in their stance on students 
with Medicaid using the 
services 
at 
Michigan,” 

Klein said. “I found their 
campaign really interesting 
and unique.”

Kinesiology 
sophomore 

Okpalefe Edevbie expressed 
similar views on the party’s 
platform. 

“I think they’ve a lot of 

great plans to reach the 
different facets and groups 
in student government, and 
to create more access for 
students,” Edevbie said.

Currently, 
eMerge 
is 

running unopposed for the 
election on the March 22 
and 23.
