A large banner was hung on 
the east side of a smokestack 
in the University of Michigan’s 
Central Power Plant Wednesday 
morning, 
reading 
“Climate 
strike walkout 3/15” was hung 
on the east side of a smokestack 
in the University of Michigan’s 
Central Power Plant. It is 
currently 
unknown 
which 
group is responsible for making 
and displaying the sign. The 
act was not sponsored by the 
Washtenaw 
County 
Climate 
Strike. 
The banner is now one 
of the many signs around 
campus 
in 
support 
of 
the 
Washtenaw 
County 
Climate 

Strike. On Friday, hundreds of 
environmental activists will be 
meeting on the Diag to join the 
Washtenaw 
County 
Climate 
Strike to make a statement on the 
pressing issue of climate change. 
Students are being urged to 
walk out of class at 11:11am for 
the 12:00pm event as a reference 
to the Intergovernmental Panel 
on Climate Change’s statement 
that was made last October. It 
warns there are 12 years left to 
successfully mitigate the worst 
effects of climate change. For 
those who are not able to leave 
class, they are asked to wear 
green to show their support. 

According to the College 
of 
Engineering, 
many 
Engineering students do not 
exceed the standard limit of 
printing pages allocated to 
each student in the school 
per term. As a result, the 
College of Engineering will be 
eliminating their supplemental 
allocation for students after 
the 2019-2020 school year.
Dan 
Maletta, 
executive 
director 
of 
information 
technology for the College of 
Engineering, 
explained 
the 
reasoning behind the phasing-
out of this accommodation.

“We have generally seen a 
decline in (printing) demand,” 
Maletta wrote in an email. “We 
consistently see that almost 
two thirds of our students 
never exceed the ITS printing 
allocations, and as a result we 
are phasing out engineering’s 
supplemental allocation.”
Tanner 
Robison, 
an 
Engineering PhD candidate, 
explained that he often has 
large homework assignments 
and labs to print out, but doesn’t 
see the need for Engineering 
students to receive greater 
printing allocations compared 
to students in other colleges.
“I don’t get the feeling 
that 
Engineering 
students 

necessarily 
print 
more,” 
Robinson said. “I mean, I have 
to print off my homework and 
stuff periodically and some of 
them are pretty extensive. But 
that doesn’t mean that people 
who are not in the engineering 
program don’t have to print off 
similar things.”
According to the College 
of 
Engineering, 
many 
Engineering 
students 
do 
not utilize the supplemental 
allocation they are given each 
term. In fact, the Michigan 
CAEN 
(Computer-Aided 
Engineering 
Network) 
website states that over half 
of students in Engineering 
don’t exceed the standard 

printing allocation available 
to all students. As a result, the 
College of Engineering will be 
eliminating their supplemental 
allocation for students after 
the 2019-2020 school year, an 
announcement they made on 
September 8, 2017. In 2016, 
Engineering students received 
an additional $40 for printing, 
but it was decreased by $10 
the next school year. This 
four-year process of cutting 
down the allocation is helping 
to phase out the allocation 
altogether.

U.S. Reps. Debbie Dingell, 
D-Mich., 
and 
Fred 
Upton, 
R-Mich., have written a letter 
to Immigration and Customs 
Enforcement 
asking 
to 
halt 
the scheduled deportation of 
journalist Emilio Gutiérrez Soto, 
a Knight-Wallace Fellow at the 
University of Michigan.
Gutiérrez 
joined 
2018-19 
Knight Wallace Fellowship class, 
studying safety and freedom of 
journalists. The fellowship is an 
eight-month program designed 
for mid-career journalists to help 
advance their skills and address 
challenges in the industry.
Gutiérrez 
was 
denied 
asylum Feb. 28 and scheduled 
to be deported back to Mexico. 
Gutiérrez and his son Oscar 
sought asylum in the United 
States in 2008 after receiving 
death threats for his reporting 
for news outlet El Diario Del 
Noroeste on crimes committed 
by the Mexican military in 
Chihuahua, Mexico.

Dr. Alain Mukwege, a research 
associate at University of Michigan 
School of Nursing, spoke about 
human rights advocacy and sexual 
violence against women from a 
global health perspective in front 
of about 40 students in Weiser 
Hall on Wednesday night. The 
event was hosted by The Program 
in International and Comparative 
Studies and the Donia Human 
Rights Center.
Mukwege is an activist and 
member of the advisory board 
of the Panzi Foundation USA, 
a non-profit organization that 
works to combat sexual violence 
against women by providing care 
to victims and advocating for 
solutions to human rights issues in 
the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Robert Franzese, director of 
the Program in International and 
Comparative Studies, explained 
to 
the 
department 
invited 
Mukwege to speak because they 
felt the lecture would be a great 
opportunity for students to learn 
more about the cause.
