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”

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.
