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.”
