WOLVE RINE OF THE WE E K AARON BAKER/Daily Wolverine of the Week Question: If you had control of President Trump’s twitter account for 24 hours, what’s the first thing you would do? “Delete it” LSA senior Rana Makki Sudoku Syndication http://sudokusyndication.com/sudoku/generator/print/ 1 of 1 9/26/08 11:50 AM SUDOKU HARD 6 9 7 3 8 8 7 2 1 9 4 6 2 6 1 2 6 5 3 7 8 1 5 9 OH SNOW puzzle by sudokusyndication.com 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.” ON THE DAILY: MICHIGAN UNION AUCTIONS POOL TABLES, LIGHTS PANEL From Page 1 RACHEL LEUNG Daily News Reporter
