This Week in History
Every Friday, one Daily news staffer will give a behind
the scenes look at one of this week’s stories. This week,
LSA freshman Riley Langefeld covered the end of net
neutrality and its impact on the University.
“Matt was like, ’There are some people rolling a beach
ball on the Diag,’ so I ran over there. There were these
two guys standing by it. I just asked him why he was there
and what he was doing there, and he said he does this all
over college campuses. He said that Michigan has a ‘red
light policy,’ which means that we don’t have the best free
speech policies... The whole time I was thinking this is
really interesting, because a lot of the time we don’t get the
conservative perspective on the Daily. I’ve worked on a lot of
stories where we try to reach out and sometimes they don’t
respond, so we end up getting a liberal bias. I really enjoyed
talking to them about their beliefs, because it was different
than the way I feel, but we actually agreed on a lot of things.
I just think it’s really important to have an open discourse.
Because that’s the reason they were there.“
LSA sophomore Molly Norris, “Conservative group sends
free speech beach ball to the Diag”
BE HIND THE STORY
QUOTE OF THE WE E K
“
We need to stop dancing around and just do
this. We have all kinds of people telling us to do it,
and even if we didn’t, common sense should tell us
that we need to protect the citizens.“
Dwight Wilson, Commissioner on the City of Ann Arbor’s Human Rights Commission

characteristics,”
Chey
said.
“It’s comprised of a number of
different
diseases.
Thinking
about ways that we can identify
those diseases can provide a
more precise approach.”
Chey sees the gastrointestinal
system as central to our bodily
functions, connected to seven
organs. In his research, he
examines
the
role
of
diet
therapies in treatment. He said
these approaches can actually
treat some symptoms better than
prescription medicine.
“These dietary modifications
… work in about half the patients,”
Chey said. “That’s fantastic,
that’s better than medication for
IBS.”
The
study
conducted
by
Michigan Medicine will be a
double-blinded
randomized
controlled clinical trial which
will enroll subjects at two trial
sites: Michigan Medicine and the
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical
Center in Boston. The study
will accept IBS patients with
constipation and diarrhea as
primary symptoms.
In an email interview, Lina
Nahlawi, a clinical subjects
coordinator
at
Michigan
Medicine, wrote the study will
rely on self-reporting from the
subjects, which could lead to
complications in the data seeing
as though the study doesn’t have
a way to directly measure the
impacts of the treatment.
“Dietary response will be
assessed via daily symptom
diary reports collected from
participants
throughout
the
study,” Nahlawi wrote.
Public Health student Takuro
Miyazaki will be working as a
study coordinator for the trials
at the University. His interests lie
largely in working to mitigate the
effects of chronic disease.

funding for their efforts.
Both
organizations
target
students living in dorms for
membership
and
support,
and cited this as a reason
for seeking residence hall
funding. Both Omega Psi Phi
and TASA received funding
after
describing
their
requests to representatives.
During reports from the
executive
board,
various
concerns related to unfilled
executive board positions and
the potential repercussions
from this drawback arose.
Assistant
Director
Eric
Aiken assured students this
bump in the road would not
hinder RHA’s goals for the
upcoming
semester,
and
spots will be filled as soon as
possible.
“We
(have
to)
keep
morale
up,”
Aiken
said
while
addressing
student
representatives. “Remember
that you have been sworn
in to be a representative
in order to represent the
residents.”
These concerns follow the
recent resignation of LSA
sophomore
Arsha
Venkat,
vice president of marketing.
Venkat
announced
her
resignation through printed
slips of paper that were
distributed
to
student
speakers and representatives
during
Thursday
night’s
meeting.
“The environment created
by some members of the
executive board has been
extremely difficult to work
in,”
Venkat
wrote.
“The
attitudes expressed by this
board are not in line with
what the University claims
to stand for.”
Venkat did not go into
further
detail
regarding
the
reasons
behind
her
resignation.
Following
the
reading
of
Venkat’s
statement,
the
assembly
voted
to
accept
Venkat’s
resignation.
Venkat’s
resignation is the second
departure from the RHA
executive board, leaving two
vacant spots on the board.
In an email, Engineering
sophomore Dylan Rushton,
the RHA president, wrote
the executive board was
disappointed to see Venkat’s
resignation but hopes she has
success in the future.
“We are sorry to see
Arsha go,” Rushton wrote.
“We wish her the best in her
future endeavors.”
Additionally,
the
student
representatives
heard from Rushton and
Engineering
sophomore
Matthew
Malinak,
the
RHA
Vice
President
of
Records, regarding a new
resolution
to
amend
the
process
of
re-electing
representatives for a second
year on RHA. This resolution
guarantees
returning
representatives
housing
while serving, an incentive
many
representatives
found
attractive.
Based
on a very low number of
representatives returning to
RHA, Rushton and Malinak
proposed a new way of
applying for a second year.
“The best way to learn
something is by experiencing
it yourself,” Rushton said.
“What we would like (are)
elections, or at least some
sort of selection process that
allows
representatives
to
return to this assembly.”
The assembly voted to
pass this resolution, giving
current representatives the
ability to serve another term
on RHA more easily.
