down.”
She also detailed how the GOP
gave her family a chance at a
different life. Tarver spoke about
her family’s move to Michigan
after a relative was lynched in
Alabama. She said she believes this
move helped her mother get an
opportunity to become involved in
politics.
“When my mother came to
Michigan, she could vote in 1918.
She could vote here since 1918. She
could vote in Michigan since 1918
thanks to Republican women,”
Tarver said.
Newman
addressed
sexual
assault in the United States,
specifically
the
#MeToo
movement. Newman called for
stronger adherence to misconduct
policies
“I for one, am happy about the
#MeToo movement,” Newman
said. “I think it is about time and
was glad to see it happen … We
have policies and I think they
need to be implemented.”
Epstein
addressed
her
desire to become involved
in politics when she began
noticing legislators voting for
issues of which they weren’t
fully knowledgeable.
“I am ready to serve
Michigan’s 11th district at
a time where conservative
values
are
needed
more
than ever,” Epstein. “When
we talk about the swamp
in Washington, D.C. – that
swamp is real. We have
legislators who are voting on
things in which they know
nothing. We have legislators
introducing legislation and
voting on legislation they have
never read.”
Berden
addressed
what
she sees as a societal issue
regarding child development
and responsibility.
“It concerns me to see
someone
of
a
younger
generation
not
knowing
how to dust furniture or do
anything (on their own),”
Berden said. “It seems to be a
laxer in the way we are raising
children today. The early years
formation are so important.”
Tarver
made
an
analogy
comparing
how
Republicans
identify with their platform and
how religious groups identify with
religious texts.
“If you are a subscriber to the
Bible, you identify as a Christian,”
Tarver said. “If you are a believer
in the Quran, you are considered
a Muslim. If you are a believer in
the Torah, you are Jewish. These
writings are sacred for (people
that adopt them), believe in and
hold dear are how we identify
ourselves...what joins us all in
identifying who we are is written
in our Republican platform.”
Epstein
reflected
on
the
Republican
platform
and
its
relation to the U.S. Constitution.
“The
Republican
platform
brings us back to the ideals of
our founding fathers and what
the Constitution was intended to
achieve in this country,” Epstein
said.
College
Republicans
Vice
President Amanda Delekta, an LSA
junior, felt the event was important
in displaying how the party regards
female representation in politics.
“In the current political moment,
we’ve seen how women have had
a lot of hardships in gaining full
inclusion in the American political
sphere,” Delekta said. “We wanted
to explore how those issues are
being explored in the Republican
Party and I think often times it’s
explored through the Democratic
Party.”
The University of Michigan
has announced several plans to
renovate the Michigan Union,
including the elimination of the
Billiards Room. In a recent post
on eBay, the University’s Property
Disposition
department
listed
several Billiards Room items for
auction.
The items include three vintage
pool tables, with prices ranging
from $840 to $3,650, and a stained-
glass pool table light for $1,676.
Susan Pile, senior director of
University Unions and Auxiliary
Services, said the auction for the
pool tables will end Wednesday
and the auction for the light will
end
Thursday.
However,
she
expects the University will sell
more items from the room in the
near future.
“We anticipate a few more
lights and tables will be made
available in the coming months as
we determine plans for the items,”
Pile wrote in a statement for the
Detroit Free Press.
Proceeds from the auctions will
go toward the Michigan Union
student leadership scholarship.
The
board’s
decision
to
eliminate the Billiards Room has
generated some criticism in the
past months from students and
alumni.
University alum Alan Knaus,
a member of Friends of the
Michigan Union, expressed his
disappointment
the
Billiards
Room would not be preserved in
the remodeled Union. According
to
Knaus,
the
renovations
favor students over alumni by
eliminating historic elements such
as the Billiards Room.
“I was not happy with (the
elimination of the Billiards Room)
and the alumni that were there
were also not very happy about
that,” Knaus said last March.
In a Statement article for The
Daily, contributor Will Feuer, a
Public Policy junior, explained
the significance of the Billiards
Room in his college life. Feuer,
a member of the University’s
Billiards Club declared students
and communities on campus are
devastated by the University’s
decision to eliminate the Billiards
Room.
“Though
far
and
few
in
between, there is a network
of individuals on campus who
don’t just love billiards but love
the billiards hall,” Feuer wrote.
“That’s why I question the Union
renovations slated to begin this
April, which will not only erase the
pool hall entirely but also devastate
the community surrounding it.”
