Every Wednesday, the
Michigan Daily will be asking
a University affiliate what
the University’s bicentennial
means to them.
“Older people are coming in
and are really excited about
the Bicentennial, and it is
a big deal. People come in
specifically for that kind of
stuff. When the bicenten-
nial products first came out
we couldn’t keep it on the
shelves. People were really
excited.”

WOLVE RINE OF THE WE E K
About a dozen students
gathered
in
the
lobby
of
Angell Hall Tuesday night for
LSA dean Andrew Martin’s
Student Town Hall, looking
for
administrative
answers
to recent racist incidents on
campus.
Almost all the students’
questions revolved around the
campus climate with many
students
expressing
worry,
lack of safety and inability
to
focus
on
school.
LSA
sophomore Arwa Gayar said
coming to events like the town
hall was especially important
for marginalized students and
groups to make themselves
heard by institutional insiders.
“I
feel
like
it’s
very
important to establish those
institutional connections and
administrative
connections
because
ultimately
our
voices need to be heard,” she
said. “But also I’m just very
interested to see what the dean
feels is most pressing to talk
about right now, considering
recent events. I just want to
know what topics he’s going to
discuss in general, just gauge
what’s on his mind right now,
what are his priorities right
now?”
Austin McCoy, a Michigan
Mellon
Humanities
Postdoctoral
fellow
who
studies protest movements,
has emphasized only doing
so when it won’t create a
confrontation, as he feels the
safety of minority students is
paramount.
“As a university, we create
spaces
for
dialogue,
and
sometimes that dialogue we
find horrific and offensive,”
Martin said. “But it doesn’t
mean that that stuff has to
stay up in these settings, and
I think that’s something that
would be effective.”
Martin
said
he
agreed
with those who commented
on the University’s lack of
communication on how they
are handling ongoing issues.
He also stressed the legality
of the of the vandalism was
not up for debate but also that
it was logistically difficult to
release details of an ongoing
investigation.
“To be clear, I don’t want
to have dialogues about what
happened
in
West
Quad,”
he said. “What happened in
West Quad was ridiculous.
It almost certainly violated
Michigan ethnic intimidation
law, and DPSS continues
to investigate that event
and similar events. The
challenge is that one can’t
be entirely transparent
about the investigation
that’s going on. And all it
takes is one person with
a marker or one person
with a poster and a roll
of tape to create a lot of
hurt.”
Students
later
asked
him how seriously the
administration
was
taking demands to rename
the C.C. Little Science
Building,
whose
name
honors a former president
of the University who was
an outspoken advocate of
eugenics.
“Very,”
Martin
said.
“We,
as
a
University,
put a process in place
a couple years ago for,
‘How are we going to
go about thinking about
renaming
or
removing
a name from one of our
buildings?’ And that was
a thoughtful process, that
