Every Friday, one Daily news staffer will give a behind the scenes
look at one of this week’s stories. This week, LSA sophomore Maya
Goldman broke the story on the end of Michigan time, one of the
University of Michigan’s oldest traditions.
“So, we heard about it in January. We heard rumors on social media,
so we reached out to Public Affairs. They said, ‘Hold off until February,
we’ll get you an interview with the Provost.’ So we thought it’s better
to wait and then publish the story when we have all the facts rather
than a scarce story now, so we waited ... My cousin is in the Nursing
school and she told me they don’t use Michigan time at all. I reached
out to the Nursing school and they didn’t know what Michigan time
was. I sent this guy an email, and he was like, ‘Can you explain what
Michigan time is to me?’ ... I think it won’t actually be as big of an
impact as students, including myself, think it will be right now. But
it’s definitely going to be a shock to everyone’s system in the spring
or fall, just to make that shift in their schedules. And I do think some
teachers will have a hard time cutting themselves off at the 50 minute
mark right now. Eventually, it will get better. And the logic behind the
argument for removing Michigan time is pretty sound, so I don’t blame
them for it.”
LSA sophomore Maya Goldman, “Game over: Michigan time to be
eliminated”

QUOTE OF THE WE E K
“
Being mayor in Ann Arbor is a part-time job. It’s a
weak mayor-strong (city) administrator form of
government here. That essentially means that if you think
of the city as a corporation, I’m the chair of the board, not
the CEO. As chair of the board, I can’t order anyone to do
anything. If you have a pothole, I can’t fill it for you ... In
terms of having a targeted notion of something that
should be done, having it at the local level and having it
at the state level is much more approachable. There’s a
higher likelihood of policy being effective.“
Christopher Taylor, Mayor of Ann Arbor

DREAMING
puzzle by sudokusyndication.com
Public Policy junior Daniel
Greene has been involved in stu-
dent government since his first
year on campus, when he par-
ticipated in LSA Student Gov-
ernment. He made the switch
to
Central
Student
Govern-
ment last year, working with
the eMerge campaign — the
current ticket in office led by
president Anushka Sarkar, an
LSA senior, and vice president
Nadine Jawad, a Ford senior.
“I’ve always loved hearing
what students are concerned
about on this campus and trying
to solve their issues, because at
a school this large, most people
don’t realize there are plenty of
other people who face the same
adversities or issues during their
Michigan experience, but student
government has always served
as an aggregate to solving those
issues,” Greene said. “So to me
it’s about mainstreaming things.”
Greene decided he would run
for president this year after hear-
ing from students who he said
felt disenfranchised on campus,
including those with more in-
visible identities as survivors of
sexual assault or non-cisgen-
der or heterosexual students.
“I’ve been a little weary of
everything that’s going on,” he
said. “I’ve always ran with the
more progressive party, and so
what Izzy and I came together
and did was this idea of ‘let’s run
a campaign and a platform that’s
based directly on direct experi-
ences.’ So between Izzy, I and
our core team, everything that
you’ll see in our platform speaks
to an intimate and direct expe-
rience which someone on our
team has had. The other thing
is that we use that direct ex-
perience to inform what we
feel our students who are still
disenfranchised with student
government, being a lot of
people of invisible identities
such as the LGBTQ commu-
nity, survivors, people who
deal with mental health on a
regular basis, and it was kind
of this overarching desire that
Izzy and I completely agree
on which is the marginalized
voice empowerment that has
been done this past year has
been phenomenal and a step in
the right direction … But what
is it to do all that work if the
people who need to hear that
message most on this campus
are not listening? How can
we find issues which impact
all communities and all iden-
tities, and use sexual assault
prevention or mental health
to get communities from op-
posite corners of campus,
who currently aren’t speak-
ing, and use that as a bridge
to solve the current divide?”
LSA
sophomore
Izzy
Baer, MVision’s vice presi-
dential candidate, also ran
with eMerge last year and has
spent the last year serving as
an LSA representative. Within
CSG, Baer is involved in pro-
moting women’s empowerment
on campus, working with the
Sexual Assault Prevention and
Awareness Center and organiz-
ing a Women in Government
event to take place in March.
Baer said one of the reasons
she decided to run for vice presi-
dent was because of Greene, her
running mate. She also hopes to
continue her work with wom-
en’s empowerment in the role.
“I wanted to be working with
Daniel because of how amazing
he is,” she said. “So that was one
side of things, and then the other
is what Daniel touched upon in
drawing from my own personal
experiences, seeing what CSG
can do from that side, and ac-
tually seeing what can be done
about it. In terms of women’s em-
powerment, I grew up in a home
where my mom always worked
and I have two other sisters and
that was a huge principle that we
grew up on. Then coming to cam-
pus and seeing that it’s not always
as easy as that, and there are oth-
er obstacles especially concern-
ing fields that have been histori-
cally underrepresented in terms
of female faculty on campus.”
In terms of their party’s
platform,
Greene
empha-
sized their work to bring to-
gether people from all parts
of campus to create a compre-
hensive plan for what they’d
like to accomplish if elected.
“Before we launched our team
there was a lot of criticizing and
stereotyping over what people
thought we would launch, and
when we did launch a lot of heads
