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. MARIJUANA From Page 1A 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. ON THE DAILY: MARCHING BAND CALLS ATTENDEES TO VOTE RACHEL CUNNINGHAM Daily Staff Reporter
