The 
University 
of 
Michigan’s 
student 
body 
president and vice president 
released a statement Monday 
denouncing the University’s 
decision to grant tenure to 
David 
Daniels, 
professor 
in 
the 
School 
of 
Music, 
Theatre & Dance, in light of 
recent allegations of sexual 
assault made against him by 
multiple University students. 
The statement also affirms 
Central Student Government 
support 
for 
survivors 
on 
campus.
“When 
the 
normal 
institutional processes fail, 

we, as leaders of CSG, have 
a responsibility to hold the 
University’s 
administration 
accountable,” the statement, 
signed 
by 
CSG 
President 
Daniel 
Greene 
and 
Vice 
President Isabel Baer, reads.
Many 
individuals 
have 
come forward with sexual 
assault 
allegations 
against 
Daniels, some cases dating 
back as early as 2010. Most 
recently, 
Music, 
Theatre 
and Dance School graduate 
student 
Andrew 
Lipian 
filed 
a 
lawsuit 
against 
Daniels on Oct. 24 and cited 
inaction pertaining to his 
case.

Veterans, 
their 
families 
and 
supportive 
attendees 
gathered at Hill Auditorium 
at the University of Michigan 
Monday evening to listen to 
five veterans share stories 

about their time in active 
duty and life after service. 
The event, dubbed “Stories 
of Service,” was organized 
by Fisher House Foundation, 
a 
veteran 
nonprofit, 
and 
was sponsored by Michigan 
Medicine.
“Stories of Service” is a 
night to honor those who 

have served in the military 
and to call attention to the 
importance 
of 
supporting 
veterans and their families. 
The 
ceremony 
included 
storytelling from the five 
veterans and performances by 
Concordia University’s choir 
and wind ensemble.
Speakers at the ceremony 

represented 
multiple 
generations, 
including 
96-year-old World War II 
veteran Guy Stern, a Jewish 
immigrant who fled Germany 
to escape the Nazi regime. 
Stern spoke about his time as 
a member of a special military 
intelligence unit in the U.S. 

SnoHub, an app for on-demand 
snow 
removal 
services, 
is 
arriving in Ann Arbor this 
winter after a successful season 
on the East Coast. The Uber-like 
service connects homeowners 
who need snow removed from 
their driveways to contractors 
with trucks, plows or even just 
shovels willing to clear snow 
during their free time.
SnoHub CEO James Albis, 
a 
Connecticut-native, 
said 
he came up with the idea 
for 
SnoHub 
after 
negative 
experiences dealing with snow 
removal, more particularly with 
snow removal services. While 
some homeowners shovel their 
own snow, others choose to hire 
a snow removal contractor who 
likely has equipment like snow 
blowers, winter service vehicles 
or plows to clear snow from 
driveways, roofs, sidewalks and 
decks. But Albis found some 
problems 
with 
the 
system, 
including a lack of reliability 
and transparency and the need 
to pay in cash or check.

Statewide candidates make final push in Ann Arbor on eve of general election

On the eve of the 2018 midterm 
elections, 
the 
University 
of 
Michigan’s chapter of College 
Democrats held a pre-election 
rally to encourage students and 
citizens to vote on Tuesday. 

There were several featured 
speakers, including current U.S. 
Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., 
who is up for reelection this 
year.
Addressing 
about 
100 
attendees at the event, Stabenow 
emphasized 
the 
importance 
of voting ethically, claiming 
an increase in seats won by 

Democrats could make this 
happen.
“We are committed to a 
country that reflects the right 
values, and we reject what has 
been spewing out of the White 
House,” Stabenow said.
Stabenow echoed a sentiment 
that 
was 
common 
among 
other speakers — Democrats 

are looking for change in the 
upcoming election. U.S. Rep. 
Debbie Dingell, D-Ann Arbor, 
Jocelyn Benson, candidate for 
Michigan Secretary of State, and 
Sam 
Bagenstos, 
candidate 
for justice on the Michigan 
Supreme Court, all spoke of 
the opportunity this election
