In New York, the most 

popular Uber destination in 
2017 
was 
the 
Metropolitan 

Museum of Art, and in Illinois, 
Wrigley Field reigned supreme, 
according to a list released by 
Uber.

However, 
Michigan’s 

most 
Uber-ed-to 
destination 

is an ode to a campus staple: 
Scorekeepers, most commonly 
referred to as “Skeeps.”

LSA sophomore Annelise 

Droste said she has had only 
positive experiences with Ubers 
to and from Skeeps, making 
her unsurprised at Michigan’s 
results.

“I guess I’m not really 

surprised; Skeeps is kind of far 
from some student housing, 
whether 
South 
Campus 
or 

South U, where most students 
live,” Droste said. “I Ubered 
there last year from North 

Campus a few times because 
it’s a 20-minute walk from the 
bus. If it’s cold there’s no way I 
walk.”

The 
list 
was 
released 

Tuesday, 
ranking 
the 
top 

destination 
of 
each 
state, 

excluding airports and transit 
stations. The list is largely 
composed of malls, ballparks, 
performance venues and bars.

Additionally, Uber said the 

busiest period for Uber drivers 
was Saturday night at 11 p.m., 
and most Ubers were taken 
Oct. 28, the Saturday before 
Halloween.

New Jersey was shown to be 

the earliest-rising state, while 
Mississippi stays out the latest.

FINALS SZN
ON THE DAILY: SKEEPS 
IS UBER COOL

3 p.m. to midnight Jan. 8 
through Jan. 31. The Nichols 
Arboretum 
is 
expected 
to 

be closed on Jan 9, 16, 19 and 
23; however, it must first be 
approved by the University of 
Michigan.

Additionally, 
other 

University 
and 
Concordia 

University 
properties 
will 

potentially be shut down Jan. 
8 through Jan. 31, pending 
authorization. 
In 
previous 

years, 
the 
University 
has 

agreed to allow the cull to take 
place on University property.

According 
to 
the 

implementation plan released 
by the city, the sharpshooting 
may only occur from a parked 
vehicle, and shooting on the 
city-selected private property 
will not occur without the 
owner’s consent.

The city will post signs 

regarding the closure in parks 

and nature areas that will 
be affected by the program 
at least 24 hours before the 
three-week 
process 
begins. 

Residents living adjacent to 
any of these areas will be 
notified via postcard by the 
end of the month. They will 
also use social media and 
other new outlets to inform 
residents of the sterilization 
program.

This is the second year the 

plan includes the sterilization 
of 
deer, 
which 
will 
also 

carried out by White Buffalo. 
The process involves darting 
the female deer, temporarily 
removing them from the area, 
surgically 
sterilizing 
them 

and returning them to the 
park. The process will take 
approximately an hour per 
deer, and is not expected to 
disturb residents.

The city is in need for 

volunteers 
to 
aid 
in 
the 

sterilization, an effort that 
will save many deer. The 
volunteers assist in tasks such 
as monitoring vitals during 

the surgery and returning the 
deer to their original location. 
There will be two shifts of 
volunteers 
throughout 
the 

nights, and they will work six 
to seven hours per shift, with 
the first beginning at 4 p.m. 
and the second ending at 5 a.m., 
from Jan. 2 to Jan 5 or 6. Each 
volunteer will be required to 
work at least two shifts, and 
food will be provided.

Christopher Dick, ecology 

and 
evolutionary 
biology 

professor, 
discussed 
the 

importance of the cull at a 
recent 
community 
council 

meeting.

“If we are able to reduce Ann 

Arbor’s urban deer population 
to a more sustainable level 
— by sustainable, I mean a 
deer abundance that permits 
natural forest regeneration — 
this will have an immediate 
positive impact on our natural 
areas,” Dick said. “The herd 
reduction will help to stave 
the spread of ticks that carry 
diseases such as Lyme disease. 
Black-legged ticks and Lyme 

disease 
have 
recently 

been 
documented 
in 

Washtenaw County.”

Despite the city saying 

the deer cull is necessary, 
the implementation of 
this program has been 
a controversial topic in 
the community for many 
years.

Among those against 

the cull is LSA senior 
Aaron Brodkey, president 
of the Michigan Animal 
Respect Society. He told 
The Daily earlier this 
year that he felt it was 
wrong for humans to 
intervene in nature. 

“Personally, 
I 
just 

think it’s maybe wrong 
or rash to make this 
decision,” Brodkey said 
in January. “I feel like 
we’re taking it into our 
own hands and playing 
God in this position and 
saying, ‘Hey, we need 
to massacre 100 deer 
for 
who 
knows 
what 

reason?’”
