Since they make the laws and are 
resposible for any that lead to 
inequality in Ann Arbor, they’re 
protesting...themselves?

My favorite part of getting

where you debate if you 
should get to class on time or 
go buy a bagel.

In an effort to increase 

inclusivity 
in 
University 

Residence 
Halls, 
the 
South 

Quad Residence Hall’s Afro-
American Lounge is now open 
to all South Quad residents. 
Prior to this announcement, 
residents were required to take 
an orientation on the lounge’s 
history and rules associated with 
the multicultural lounge to gain 
access to the space.

The Afro-American Lounge 

was established in 1972 following 
the rise of the Black Action 
Movement at the University 
of Michigan. The murals in 
the lounge represent African-
American history and celebrate 
African-American 
culture 
in 

a University setting. Before 
BAM pushed for the space, no 
other 
cultural 
organization 

had proposed a living space to 

meet and reflect on their shared 
experiences.

Before this decision, the Afro-

American Lounge orientation 
involved an overview of the 
lounge’s history, the significance 
of the artwork featured and a 
summary of the safety rules 
included in the lounge. Effective 
immediately, all students in 
South Quad now have access to 
the lounge for studying.

Currently, 
there 
are 
18 

Multicultural 
and 
Minority 

Culture Lounges in University 
Residence Halls but only a few 
require an orientation to access 
the space. 

In a release to South Quad 

residents, Hall Director Dan 
Green wrote the lounge should 
be a space to share ideas openly 
as a part of the tradition the 
lounges represent.

“Today 
the 
lounges 
are 

havens of support, solidarity, and 
sharing among residents,” Green 
wrote. “We encourage you to be 

a part of the amazing legacy of 
these lounges by collaborating 
with fellow residents, studying 
in the space, or participating in 
programs.”

Amir Baghdadchi, University 

Housing 
Public 
Relations 

spokesman, said not enough 
people 
were 
taking 
the 

orientation to gain access to the 
lounge, and without students 
using the space, the space was 
not accomplishing its mission.

“These spaces were always 

meant to be inclusive safe spaces,” 
Baghdadchi said. “Having more 
students being able to use them, 
to enjoy them, to interact with 
the art that’s in them, that can 
only be a good thing. It’s opening 
up access which is what the goal 
of inclusion is. We can’t make the 
space more inclusive by having 
fewer people use it.”

Rules for the lounge include 

leaving the room how you found 
it, not propping the door open 
and sharing the space so it’s open 
and collaborative. To make 
sure these rules are followed 
and 
collaborative 
space 
is 

maintained, 
according 
to 

Baghdadchi, Housing will create 
a new student position to look 
after the multicultural spaces 
and create new programming 
that will put emphasis on 
the character of the lounge. 
Baghdadchi also confirmed all 
Minority Lounges on campus 
that required an orientation will 
be open to residents. 

LSA sophomore Adrianna 

Ackerman, 
Community 

Relations Chair of the Ambatana 
Multicultural Council in South 
Quad, said many of the topics 
covered 
in 
the 
orientation 

are currently expressed on 
paper posters in the room. 
She said the Council has been 
discussing the installation of 
plaques in the room to preserve 
the educational aspect of the 
orientation.

Residence hall multicultural lounges 
open without necessity of training

Housing Public Relations says this is to make the spaces more inclusive, used

Every Friday, The Michigan 
Daily will be republishing an 
article from the Daily’s archives 
from a moment in University 
history. 

October 25, 1974 
— One 

of the most massive dope 
smuggling operations in Ann 
Arbor history was exposed 
Wednesday when federal 
indictments were brought 
against ten persons, including 
three local men, on charges 
they smuggled a two and a half 
ton truckload of marijuana 
from Mexico to Ann Arbor in 
early April 1973. The value of 
the grass on the retail “market” 
was estimated by police to 
approach one million dollars.

Steven Burns, Paul Morigi 

and Mary Hyman, all identified 
as Ann Arbor residents, were 
named by a Chicago federal 
grand jury in a four-count 

indictment. The charges 
are conspiracy to distribute 
marijuana, possession of 
marijuana and interstate travel 
to sell controlled substances.

Also charged are five 

Mexicans, a Chicagoan, and 
another as-yet unidentified 
person. Three of the suspects, 
including Hyman, are presently 
in custody, and federal agents 
said the rest are being sought.

While details of the 

operation are still incomplete, 
federal agents said yesterday 
that the marijuana apparently 
traveled in the following 
fashion:

From fields south of 

Reynosa, Mexico, it was 
smuggled across the border to 
McAllen, Texas. In McAllen, 
the grass was loaded onto a 
semi-trailer truck owned by 
one of the defendants, and then 
driven to Chicago. 

On Chicago’s south side, the 

marijuana, or all but a small 
part of it, was transferred to a 
Hertz rent-a-truck for shipment 
to Ann Arbor. Agents said the 
grass reached this city on about 
April 10, 1973. 

Asked how the case was 

broken, a federal agent in 
Chicago said “we have some 
information from informants, 
and extensive investigation 
into the case corroborated that 
information.”

The agent, who asked not to 

be identified, said a customs 
raid in Chicago that uncovered

five pounds of the grass 

shortly after the bulk of the 
marijuana was shipped to Ann 
Arbor, was instrumental in 
breaking the case.

Both federal and local police 

said that two of the Ann Arbor 
men had no prior reputations 
or records to point to their 

involvement in the massive 
smuggling. Hyman was the 
only local suspect to have a 
prior conviction, concerning a 
marijuana possession charge 
several years ago. He was given 
probation. 

One of the other suspects, 

Roosevelt Gandaria, was 
arrested a few days ago in 
Mexico, and charged with 
possession of twenty-two 
pounds of marijuana, an agent 
said.

Investigators are continuing 

their probe into the affair to see 
if other large scale shipments 
took Place, but city police chief 
Welter Krasny said that the 
April 1973 run was “probably 
the biggie.”
