WHO: University Musical Society WHEN: 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. WHERE: Hill Auditorium 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.” Organization projects slideshow against Richard Spencer at UMMA Social justice organization, Radfun, shows image of Spencer being punched in protest MORGAN SHOWEN Daily Staff Reporter Sudoku Syndication http://sudokusyndication.com/sudoku/generator/print/ 1 of 1 10/1/08 1:14 PM 1 5 3 4 6 4 6 9 2 8 7 5 3 5 2 2 8 9 1 8 6 6 1 7 8 8 9 4 1 3 FRIYAY! puzzle by sudokusyndication.com 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. - JOHN BARBOUR FRIDAY’S BICENTENNIAL FEATURE: U.S. SCIENTISTS PLOT AGAINST MOON Read more of Michigan Daily archives online
