Looking at the Numbers

Michigan.
“In 
the 
business 
sense, 
I mean it’s tax revenue,” 
Moriarty 
said. 
“Usually 
they’re small businesses 
that are locally owned. I 
don’t really see a negative 
impact 
on 
communities 
coming from them.”
However, 
legalizing 
medical 
marijuana 
facilities 
can 
cause 
controversy, 
which 
LSA junior Kyla Truax 
experienced 
in 
her 
hometown.
“I actually live in a 
town up north (Michigan), 
and they were thinking 
of putting in a plant right 
where I live,” Truax said. 
“A lot of people opposed 
it, so it ended up getting 
shut down and moved to a 
different city … I know a 
lot of people that were in 
support, thought it was a 
great idea to bring in jobs.”
The 
Public 
Policy 
School 
survey 
also 
included questions about 
recreational 
marijuana. 
Though only 21 percent 
of 
local 
government 
officials 
support 
the 
legalization of recreational 
marijuana, 61 percent of 

Michigan residents support it. 
Engineering junior Margaret 
Kohler 
understands 
the 
rationale for the legalization 
of 
recreational 
marijuana 
because she foresees people 
without 
legitimate 
medical 
marijuana cards gaining access 
to the drug anyway.
“I think you’d also expect 
an increase in fake medical 
marijuana 
cards 
so 
that 
people could get it, and it’s 
almost a better argument just 
to legalize recreational use,” 
Kohler said.
Moriarty said he supports 
the 
total 
legalization 
of 
marijuana.
“On top of medicinal, I 
would support full legalization 
of marijuana, and to that 
end, it also decreases the 
criminal element, decreases 
having to put people in prison 
over 
marijuana 
offenses,” 
Moriarty said. “I don’t really 
see a downside under any 
circumstance.”
According to the Public 
Policy 
School 
survey, 
low 
support 
of 
recreational 
marijuana legalization among 
officials is true across political 
affiliation and age.

The Michigan Marching 
Band 
gave 
an 
electoral 
themed 
performance 
Saturday 
to 
support 
the 
efforts of the Big Ten Voting 
Challenge during University 
of Michigan football game 
against Southern Methodist 
University halftime show.
The challenge seeks to 
increase voter participation 
across 
the 
14 
Big 
Ten 
universities, 
awarding 
schools with the highest and 
best improvement ineligible 
voter turnout. 
In one of its most politically 
charged presentations, the 

band 
performed 
several 
formations 
on 
the 
field 
related to U.S. history and 
politics, including the phrase 
“We the People” and the 
American flag. The band 
also used its act to highlight 
low voter turnout in the 2016 
presidential election as well 
as low voter turnout among 
college 
students 
in 
the 
primaries this year.
Thanks 
to 
Dr. 
Mark 
Schlissel, 
Dr. 
Martin 
A. 
Philbert, Cynthia Wilbanks, 
Kallie 
Michels, 
Edie 
Goldenberg, 
and 
Mark 
Clague for their help with 
yesterday’s halftime show! 
Also thanks to Bill and 
Janelle 
Sykes 
for 
their 
support 
of 
Saturday’s 

halftime performance. 
In the video aired on 
the big screen before the 
performance, 
University 
President 
Mark 
Schlissel 
urged students to participate 
in 
their 
opportunity 
to 
 
share 
their 
voice 
this 
November.
Following 
Schlissel’s 
video presentation, speeches 
from 
former 
Presidents 
Gerald Ford, Barack Obama, 
and Abraham Lincoln were 
presented 
on 
the 
video 
screen. At one point in the 
presentation, 
marching 
band members held up two 
large flags one opposite ends 
of the field, depicting the 
Republican party elephant 
and the Democratic party 

donkey. 
The 
band 
then 
brought 
the 
two 
flags 
together, urging attendees to 
look beyond party. 
“Election day is almost 
here,” Schlissel said. “We 
urge students to get involved 
in civilian life, get registered 
and out to vote and bring 
home the trophy for the 
Maize and Blue.”
Central 
Student 
Government 
and 
the 
Ginsberg 
Center 
for 
Community 
Service 
and 
Learning have collaborated 
to help with the online 
voter registration process. 
The 
University 
has 
also 
partnered with Turbovote to 
collect voting data and help 
students with registration.
