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.

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?’”
