ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS OF EDITORIAL FREEDOM
This year’s Festifall was
bigger than ever, with 623
students organizations setting
up tables in North Ingalls
Mall, according to the Center
for Campus Involvement.
Last
year,approximately
500 clubs participated in the
annual club fair, which is held
on the first Friday of school
each year.. According to Devon
Vaughn,
the
organization
consultant for the Center for
Campus
Involvement,
they
needed to add more tables and
spread out to make more space
for more new clubs on campus
this year.
LSA senior Amanda Gross,
co-President
of
MUSIC
Matters,
a
student-run
nonprofit that hosts concerts
on campus, explained Festifall
has always been instrumental
in attracting a variety of new
members to the club.
“We want to get as many
kids as possible,” Gross said.
“A large bulk of the kids that
do show up — we get their
signatures through Festifall.
We don’t want to have to
target any specific groups on
campus and this way anybody
who wants to can find out
about us.”
Business sophomore Nina
Farahanchi, a member of the
Persian Students Association,
was dancing in front of his
organization’s
table
with
a
boombox
in
one
hand.
Farahanchi emphasized that
it’s the energy at Festifall that
draws potential members in.

when an email containing

to 3,200 employees in July.
Three employees clicked on
the link.
“Employees were directed

When
the
One
University
Campaign
launched
last
year,
it aimed to change the way the
Michigan state legislature and
the
University
of
Michigan
administration allocate funding
among
the
three
University
campuses.
Though the University’s Board of
Regents did not change the budget
model to reflect the coalition’s
platform this May, 1U members
remain undeterred in achieving
their platform points.
Over
the
past
year,
One
University
has
studied
the
University’s policies and budget and
found specific instances in which
the University can better support
students on its regional campuses.

In an effort to combat the
formally-recognized
public
health emergency of youth
vaping, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer
and the Michigan Department
of Health and Human Services
announced a ban on the sale
of flavored e-cigarette juice
on
Wednesday.
With
just
over three weeks before the
ban goes into place, many
local Ann Arbor businesses
and University of Michigan
students have been left to
consider the next steps in
response to the state-wide ban.
This announcement follows
a spike in high school students’
e-cigarette use between 2017
and 2018, as well as a surge
in
national
attention
paid
to
vaping-related
illnesses
becoming more common across
the country. The announcement
also follows e-cigarette brand
Juul’s decision last November
to stop selling fruity flavors
in gas stations, allowing them
only
in
designated
smoke
shops.
According to LSA junior Zac
Kolbusz, the University has a
pervasive “nicotine culture”
which will be heavily affected
by the ban.
“I feel like a lot of people
get here for the first time, try
it at a party or something, and
from that point on, there is the
big risk of addiction,” Kolbusz
said.
Though Kolbusz uses a Juul
himself, he says he supports the
ban and believes Whitmer “did
the right thing.” As a result of
the ban, Kolbusz said he and
many of his friends will try to
quit using nicotine. However,
Kolbusz is fearful the ban may
turn many previous e-cigarette
users onto cigarettes instead.

Since North Korea began
building
their
nuclear
arsenal,
maintaining
diplomacy with North Korea
has been a point of contention
in the United States. The
individual tasked with the
challenge of negotiating U.S.
diplomatic efforts with North
Korea is U.S. Representative
for North Korea, Stephen
Biegun. He spoke at a packed
Rackham
Auditorium
on
Friday
afternoon
as
the
inaugural speaker in a launch
series organized to celebrate
the opening of the Weiser
Diplomacy
Center,
hosted
by the Ford School of Public
Policy.
Biegun serves on behalf
of U.S. Secretary of State
Mike Pompeo and directs all
U.S. policy talks on North
Korea, leads negotiations and
spearheads U.S. diplomatic
efforts
with
allies
and
partners. Previously, Biegun
worked as a foreign policy
advisor
to
members
of
Congress and was formerly
the
vice
president
of
International Governmental
Relations for Ford Motor
Company.
Public Policy Dean Michael
Barr introduced the series and
explained the significance of
the Ford Public Policy talks
and fostering conversation in
polarizing political times.
“As you well know, these
are
challenging
times
in
our nation, with fractious
political discourse, gridlock
and
partisanship
and
increasing lack of trust in
institutions
everywhere,”
Barr said. “It is in moments
like this when the craft of
diplomacy
is
even
more
essential.”
