On
Wednesday
night,
members and students of the
social
justice
organization
Radfun projected an image
onto the UMMA in support of
having University President
Mark
Schlissel
and
the
Board of Regents deny white
nationalist Richard Spencer
the opportunity to speak on
campus.
Radfun,
which
describes
itself as “radical anticapitalist
deviants & forum of united
nonconformists,”
used
a
projector to place the image
of Spencer being punched
in the face alongside the
message about denying him
the
opportunity
to
speak.
The organization came into
the spotlight by covering up
the C.C. Little Building’s sign
in early October in response
to the protests against Little
from earlier that month.
The
projection
was
broadcasted for an hour and
a half for passing students to
see.
LSA senior Kelly Garland, a
member of Radfund, expressed
concerns that the potential of
Spencer’s visit was not being
discussed in the student body.
“When
we’ve
been
out
talking to people about Richard
Spencer a large number just
don’t even know who he is and
aren’t aware he is asking to
come to our campus,” Garland
said. “We see this as a problem
because we think that the
small group of students who
is aware of these things asking
the administration is easily
ignored.”
Members
of
Radfund,
including
LSA
senior
Hoi-
An Pham, believe that the
first amendment protections
given to protect the right of
freedom of speech should be
reexamined and should not
be applicable to speakers like
Spencer.
“There are laws in this
country that are not fair,” Pham
said. “I think we have to look
at the fact that there are laws
in place that are protecting
Richard
Spencer,
but
are
these laws actually good laws
if they’re protecting white
supremacists and marginalized
bodies are getting hurt and
shot in the streets.”
Spencer has become famous,
in part, due to his lawsuits
against universities who are
unwilling to allow him to speak
on their campuses. Spencer
has filed lawsuits against
Ohio State and Michigan
State for their denials of his
speaking engagements.
Garland
believes
the
University
of
Michigan
should fight Spencer in
the courts -- where a legal
precedent
could
be
set
for denying controversial
speakers
on
college
campuses.
Schlissel has not stated
whether or not he will
deny Spencer’s request to
speak on campusstating in
a recent interview: “What
we do is we look for a time
and a place, if possible,
that assures, as much as
possible, safety, and as
little disruption to the
business of the University
as possible.”
Rick
Fitzgerald,
assistant vice president for
public affairs has said “The
(U)niversity will carefully
consider
this
request,
paying close attention to
the safety and security of
our community.”

Every Friday, The Michigan
Daily republishes an article
from The Daily’s archives from a
moment in University history.
August 7, 1957
— American
scientists are hatching plot
against the complacent, ageless
moon. Missile men of the
Army and Air Force already
are deeply into plans to shoot
the earth’s nearest neighbor.
The ingenious details of their
conspiracy are ‘a startling
reminder of how close man
himself is to taking the first
gigantic step through space.
List Plans
The scientists say they will:
1. Send a rocket careening
around the moon to get some
closeup pictures of both its
known and unknown sides and
bring them back to earth.
2. Actually hit the moon
with a rocket that might hurl
grenades fire mortars in an
effort to find out what the moon
is made of.
3. Perhaps, in the distant
future, land a sort of automated
tank at would roam the lunar
surface, measuring conditions
and reporting them back to
earth.
Authorizes Probes
Earlier this year the Defense
Department authorized a
half dozen lunar probes on
recommendation of the Earth
Satellite Panel of the United
States National Committee for
the International Geophysical
Year.
“Although it is impossible
to predict how quickly
man himself will follow his
exploring instruments into
outer space,” the panel said,
“the inevitable culmination
of his efforts will be manned
space flight and his landing on
the nearer planets. It is clear
that he will develop the ability
to do this and it is hard to
conceive of mankind stopping
short when such a tempting
goal is within reach.”
The moon is a mere 238,000
miles away-perhaps a couple
of days by a rocket that takes
time to pick its course. When
scientists eventually make the
trip in person, they will get a
taste of the difficulties to be
encountered on later trips to the
next two space stops, Venus, 28
million miles away, and Mars,
48 million miles distant.
For now, however, the
scientists must content
themselves with much simpler
lunar chores- probing for clues
as to the nature of the moon;
how it and earth were born and
perhaps even the origin of the
universe.
Goals Specified
Their immediate goals are
to measure the moon’s size
and weight, its gravity, its
magnetic field if any and its
atmosphere or lack of it. A
rocket that would encircle the
moon could get part of the job
done. By charting the rocket’s
position at regular intervals
against the background of the
star-filled universe, scientists
could compute the pull of the
moon’s gravity and its mass and
weight. Sensitive telemetering
equipment might detect a lunar
magnetic field.
Error Noted
Estimates of the moon’s
weight are believed to have a
possible error of 0.3 per cent-
not much if, you are buying
a ton of coal. But apply that
margin to the estimated
weight of the moon and the
possible error turns out to be
237 quintillion, 384 quadrillion
short tons,
A rocket carrying packages
of instruments to the surface
of the moon would improve on
the earlier measurements and
perform some new tasks. They
might even stick a scientific
thumb into the moon’s surface.
