Students seeking to celebrate 

Pi Day by consuming massive 

amounts of pies of all sorts had a 

variety of on-campus locations to 

choose from on Tuesday.

Pieology Pizzeria offered 

specially priced $3.14 pizzas at all 

locations — however, because of 

heavy student demand for pies, 

Pieology ran out of dough and was 

forced to close at 5:30 pm for “a few 

hours” in order to restock. 

Tau Beta Pi, a University of 

Michigan engineering honor 

society, is no stranger to this 

predicament. Last year, the group 

planned to hand out free slices of 

pizza to students on campus, but 

ran out in 40 minutes. However, 

the group was much better 

prepared for Pi Day 2017.

Stationed in the lobby of the 

Duderstadt Center, they made 

their slices much thinner than last 

year to produce enough for hungry 

students and pi-lovers alike.

Engineering junior Joanna 

Ciatti, Tau Beta Pi secretary, told 

MLive the organization bought 

100 pies and sliced each pie into 

eighths.

“Last year we had 70 pies and 

we ran out in 40 minutes,” she said. 

“This year we got 100 and we 

sliced them into eighths, so we’ve 

got 800 slices.”

Students who could not 

make it to State Street or North 

Campus also had the opportunity 

to partake in Pi Day at one of the 

many on-campus dining halls. 

Michigan Dining celebrated the 

world-renowned mathematical 

constant by fueling potential 

mathematicians with a many 

pie-themed foods, including 

savory pot pies and sweet 

desserts. According to a blurb 

on its website, the food service 

calculated that it would need an 

immense number of pies needed 

to serve the campus community.

“What day is infinitely better 

than all the rest?” the blurb read. 

“Pie Day! All dining halls will be 

serving pie inspired foods at all 

meals! We calculated that we’ll 

need hundreds of pies to satisfy 

your never-ending appetite for 

circular foods! Selections include, 

chicken pot pies, fruit pies, pizza 

pies, dessert pizzas, and much 

more!”

on campus, and we consist of a 
group of around 35 (commission 
members),” Yang said.

The CSG budget comes from the 

$9.19 each student at the University 
pays per term.

LSA junior Amanda Hampton, 

a 
SOFC 
chair, 
added 
SOFC 

currently has two different types 
of applications: reimbursement 
funding and advance funding.

Reimbursement 
funding 

has 
traditionally 
been 
the 

most common way for student 

organizations to receive money 
from SOFC because they are able 
to present receipts for costs they 
have incurred while putting on 
events or organizing activities, and 
are compensated by CSG for these 
costs.

“This is just a way for us, as an 

organization, to give out the most 
money possible to student orgs and 
make sure that every dollar that 
is handed out goes toward events 
that student orgs want to put on,” 
Hampton said.

Advance funding is a new 

method 
the 
commission 

created this semester. Student 
organizations can request funds 
before their events in advance, 

providing receipts afterward and 
return any money not used.

“We 
realized 
that 

reimbursement 
really 
benefits 

student orgs that … are financially 
well off.” Hampton said. “It is 
disadvantaging to orgs that are 
maybe brand new, and don’t really 
have the funds to put on events or 
afford things they need to rent.”

Hampton also mentioned SOFC 

focuses on ensuring every student 
organization has equal access to 
funds.

“We’re trying to expand our 

reach as an organization and 
help as many student orgs as 
possible,” Hampton said. “We’ve 
allocated a certain amount of 

funds to each week, to ensure 
that every student org has 
the same chance of getting 
funding each wave. Before 
then, we didn’t do that and so 
it would end up that the first 
wave, a lot of student orgs 
would get a lot of money, and 
then we’d run out of money 
by the end of the semester. So 
we’ve really been stepping up 
and making sure we are on 
track with our funds.”

The 
chairs 
also 
offer 

office 
hours, 
where 
they 

give 
members 
of 
student 

organizations 
the 
option 

to sit down and talk with 
SOFC members about their 
applications. Because SOFC 
only has a limited amount of 
money to award organizations 
and the application process is 
competitive, the chairs feel 
this is the best way to receive 
the 
maximum 
amount 
of 

money for them.

“If it’s a student org’s first 

time applying and they’ve 
never gone through a financing 
process 
or 
an 
on-campus 

funding body before, a lot of 
the times we do recommend 
that they stop by and say 
hello in office hours,” Yang 
said. “We want to give them 
the whole plan of how to go 
about approaching it as well as 
point them to other sources of 
funding available for them. We 
see student orgs who do that 
come in with a lot of success in 
their funding process.”
