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

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.”
