ourselves a big hole.”
During Saturday’s round,
however,
the
Wolverines
found the answer they needed.
Ashley Kim, who had shot a 74
in her initial round, rallied to
card a six-under 66 with six
birdies and no bogeys, moving
her into a tie for 10th place.
“It was super impressive,”
Dowling said. “It’s pretty rare
to have a bogey-free round,
and that says a lot about her
consistency.”
Other
Michigan
golfers
performed well on Saturday as
well, including senior Kathy
Lim who tallied a one-under
71. Senior Emily White and
junior Elodie Van Dievoet both
carded scores of 75, and senior
Megan Kim carded a 78.
The
Wolverines
finished
the second round with a one-
under 287 and moved into
13th place. It was a significant
improvement
from
their
opening round.
“I’m proud of them for
bouncing back the way that
they did,” Dowling said.
Michigan continued to make
progress during Sunday’s final
round. Van Dievoet led the
team with a three-under 69.
She finished the tournament in
43rd place with a score of 219.
Lim shot an even 72 to finish in
49th.
White
and
Megan
Kim
carded scores of 75 and 73 in the
final round, finishing in 51st
and 80th place respectively.
“We really played well the
last two days,” Dowling said.
“We finished well, which is
nice.”
Ashley Kim wavered in her
final round but still managed
to finish in 37th with a score
of 218. This tournament was
another strong performance
in
her
already-impressive
freshman year.
“She’s
playing
on
much
longer golf courses that are
set up more difficult than high
school golf,” Dowling said.
“For her to come out and do
that in her first semester really
says a lot about her talent level
and her drive, and I think
that’s going to give her a lot of
confidence moving forward. …
We are really pumped for her
— it’s pretty great.”
The
Wolverines
were
much
more
consistent
in
this outing compared to past
tournaments. It also seemed to
be more of a team effort, with
different players scoring well
throughout the weekend.
“It helps the team to know
that there are multiple people
that can go low,” Dowling
said. “This time, two out of
our three rounds were up to
our potential. The last two
tournaments, only one round
was up to our potential of the
three rounds.”
The
field
was
very
competitive
and
included
powerhouses such as Duke
and Alabama. Three other Big
Ten teams — Iowa, Ohio State
and Michigan State — also
competed. It was a challenging
test, but Michigan came to
play.
“You gotta bring it every
single day in the women’s
collegiate golf world these
days … and that’s easy to say
and hard to do,” Dowling said.
“ … our final two rounds should
give us a lot of confidence that
we can compete with some of
the best teams in the country.”
Ashley
Kim’s
confidence
showed this weekend, spurring
the rest of the team and
proving her legitimacy in the
face of tough competition.

Maybe we would never have
found what Dion was looking
for if it hadn’t been such an
adventure, a leap of faith and
sometimes a cliffhanger.”
The 2011 piece featured a
three-dimensional
waiting
room for Woodward’s office,
which Dion explained had “all
the charm of the department of
motor vehicles.” The room was
furnished with blue pleather
chairs and obscure magazines.
It was monitored by a jaded
receptionist, uninterested in
helping those who entered.
Those visitors who sustained
the seemingly endless wait
were allowed to enter the
office of Woodward — a dark
room with glow-in-the-dark
objects, each representing one
of the 13 areas of knowledge.
Seven years later, as the
Institute
for
Humanities
celebrates
the
Bicentennial
with
the
yearlong
theme
“Archives
and
Futures,”
Dion was invited back to the
University to restage “Waiting
for the Extraordinary.”
The restaged piece is an
imagination of the exterior of
the original waiting room for
Woodward’s office. The three-
dimensional cube is fashioned
with wall moldings, a door,
coat hooks and several clocks
matching the time zones of the
locations Dion inhabits.
Krugliak said the restaged
piece is designed to “serve as
an archive of the original, a
glance back, moving forward.”
Dion then moved away from
speaking about Ann Arbor
in the lecture and discussed
his
work
reimagining
“follies,” which he defines
as an 18th- or 19th-century
building designed to produce
a specific situation. Dion has
created “follies” encouraging
visitors to interact with the
environment in destinations
ranging from Tijuana Slough
National Wildlife Refuge to
the mountains of Norway.
LSA junior Julia McMahon
attended the lecture and said
she was captivated by the trust
Dion has for those who enjoy
his artwork.
“I did like how trustworthy
he was of people,” she said.
“I think a lot of people have a
negative outlook of others …
and he had a positive outlook
on life, which I think he
presented in his artwork.”

Leinweber said though he is
not in a physics field, he is very
invested in the advancement
of
physics
research
and
knowledge.
“I’ve always been fascinated
by
scientific
discoveries,
including
research
around
the
origin
and
scope
of
the universe we exist in,”
Leinweber said. “With this gift,
the Leinweber family wants to
help the University continue
to attract talented students
and
provide
faculty
with
enhanced resources to make
groundbreaking
discoveries.
The University will also share
their
discoveries
with
the
public
through
community
engagement and outreach.”
LSA Dean Andrew Martin
said in the press release the
gift
will
spur
educational
discovery and will improve
society’s
understanding
of
lesser-known physics topics.
“The Leinweber Center for
Theoretical Physics acts as a
discovery hub where questions
about some of science’s most
fascinating
and
complex
questions
are
answered,”
Martin said. “The foundation’s
gift will enable researchers
to
better
understand
the
composition of our universe
and
share
exciting
new
knowledge with the public.”
The
Leinweber
Center
researches

Center
Director
Aaron
Pierce said the gift from the
foundation will bring new and
innovative researchers to the
University.
“The
Leinweber
Foundation’s gift enables the
center to continue to promote
excellence
in
theoretical
physics,” Pierce said. “Their
gift
will
be
essential
in
attracting the top young talent
to Michigan and empowering
cutting-edge
discoveries
in
exciting,
fundamental
directions.
It
also
allows
Michigan to remain a nexus
for conferences and workshops
—
a
place
where
leading
physicists gather to discuss
breakthroughs and generate
new ones. We’re so grateful for
this generous support.”

Vice
President
Nadine
Jawad,
a
Public Policy junior, released
a
statementreferencing
the
building
after
condemning
Charles Murray’s views when he
came to speak on campus.
“For the same reasons that
Nadine and I condemn Murray’s
beliefs,
Nadine
and
I
also
support the renaming of the C.C.
Little Building,” it read. “People
like Murray and Little, who
shout from the rooftops that
racism exists because certain
people are inherently inferior do
not deserve glorification.”
Fadanelli, an LSA senior,
has
expressed
his
concerns
regarding the name of the
building and how this issue has
been previously disregarded.
“I just think it’s appalling
to have this mixed message,”
he explained. “On the one
hand having the University,
which tells its students, ‘You
belong here,’ and on the other
hand having in one of the most
prominent locations on campus
… a building that glorifies a man
who believed that a majority of
students do not belong here.”
LSA SG has reached out to the
administration and to the student
governments representing other
schools within the University.
Fadanelli expressed gratitude
for the amount of support from
the student governments and
the University, especially within
LSA.
“I cannot state enough how
much I appreciate what the
college of LSA administration
and faculty have done so far on
this issue,” Fadanelli said.
Fadanelli and LSA senior Ryan
Gillcrist, LSA SG Vice President
met with University President
Mark Schlissel’s special council
last
week.
They
discussed
President Schlissel’s new system
of renaming buildings and how
they are learning to amend and
improve the process along the
way. They also touched on how
to make the administration’s
actions and proposals more
transparent and accessible to
students.
“They
have
been
very
amicable in terms of being as
transparent, open and honest as
they can be,” Fadanelli said.
In addition to the science
building
proposal,
the
administration
is
also
considering renaming Winchell
House in West Quad Residence
Hall, as Winchell’s work has been
cited by white supremacists.
Fadanelli also brought up
the renaming intiative during
University Council. He said he
stopped by Engineering Student
Government’s
meeting
to
propose a renaming resolution to
their assemblies. He explained
there was a lot of “verbal
support” from the other student
governing bodies. During his
discussion with ESG, he said its
president, Engineering senior
Breanna DeCocker, was very
open to discussion. ESG is voting
on their resolution Wednesday
night.

In
an
interview,
Terry
McDonald, director of the
Bentley Library, explained the
library has 11,000 collections.
About 6,000 have been given by
individuals, while the rest have
been provided by University
units and departments.
McDonald said it is not
unusual to have a conversation
with a donor about when the
contents of his or her donation
will be made public.
“When
an
individual
is
giving you their collection,
especially if it involves their
own lifetime, they frequently
ask about the possibility of
the collection being closed
for some period of time, and
they’re usually thinking about
the people that they interacted
with, that sort of thing, kind
of not being around when this
opens,” he said. “It’s a pretty
standard
conversation
with
an individual donor of private
papers
or
their
personal
archive
about
whether
or
not they want it to be open
immediately, or open at some
point in the future.”
McDonald
said
certain
collections have restrictions.
“This is not about Tanton,
this is about a pretty common
conversation that we have with
donors when they think about
or agree to giving us their
collections … exactly when will
this open,” he said.
McDonald highlighted the
14 public boxes have been used
for research.
“A substantial portion of the
collection is open and has been
used by researchers, and has
been used by the researchers
that
are
unfavorable
to
(Tanton),” McDonald said. “So
it’s not as though you can’t use
this at all.”
McDonald said the library
has also been collecting and
archiving
the
websites
of
Tanton’s organizations; these
archives are accessible online.
He also explained the legal
issue at hand is whether a
public university can make
such commitment to a donor to
keep their documents private.
“That’s actually a pretty
significant
question
for
archives at all the public
universities,
because,
of
course,
it’s
standard
professional practice to have
this conversation,” he said.
“Our desire is always to have
things open ultimately, but in
some cases in order to have
that open over some length
of time we will agree to have
it closed for some period of
time.”
McDonald said the library
takes no position on Tanton,
his causes or the content of the
collection; he said the library
will maintain the agreement
unless they are asked to do
otherwise by the University or
the court.
University spokesman Rick
Fitzgerald wrote in an email
there is not much information
to share given the lawsuit.
“It is important to note that
many of the papers are already
available through the Bentley
Library and others will be
available at a later date, under
the terms of the gift agreement
with the donor,” Fitzgerald
wrote.
