Michigamua should just work with the Native American community to clear up things and honor and revere rather than denigrate the association with Native American traditions.

As far as people’s hostility to what they regard as “elitism”, i.e. selectivity based on merit and demonstrated leadership, they should just unhitch their ignorance from the legitimate debate about cultural sensitivity and racist characterizations. Those are two separate issues.

[...] It’s springtime: warm, overcast, sometimes raining. Late on a warm night, the network went down at Rendez-Vous and all the laptops closed. Possibly inspired by the Big Ten Burrito renaming contest (my entries, sadly unselected: “Big Billion Burrito” and “It’s a Burrito-ful World We Live In”), Rob is running a contest to rename Michigamua. It’s the end of the semester, and I’m almost halfway through through the graduate program (too late to quit, too early to leave); I wouldn’t recommend this School of Information to anybody, except that I often do. The SI weblog aggregator gives an incomplete, if representative, sample of who and what is lurching through these halls, and it’s towards these halls that I now go. [...]

[...] I suppose that leaves me with one last item to take care of: the naming competition. Unfortunately, the pool of submissions wasn’t as broad as I had hoped. Although containing some clever entries, the jury really didn’t see anything that jumped out at us. I suppose that’s something for the campus community to decide. [...]

Jenny:

Courage? Huh?

I’m sure you’re aware that Michigamua has a tradition of not taking credit for the work that they do. Their involvement in the creation of dance marathon was one of the few initiatives that has been made public.

I have a question for you: Why is it important that they have a body of work on display?

First of all, if anyone who has the courage to tell me who they are wants to call me an elitist for having my own website, I’d be happy to hear it. By the way: http://www.blogger.com you can get your own website! It’s not that difficult.

Secondly, I invite any current or former Gamua member to tell me (not anonymously) what concrete positive things Michigamua has done for the University (other than Dance Marathon and building the union) in the last 25 years. Really, I’m just curious–because no current member has been able to articulate it to me before, and it’s not for lack of asking on my part.

Hope Stu behaves himself in Egypt!

yeah, what’s with young stuart’s preachiness?

you’re hilarious as always, ari. love it.

seriously, i think all youse guys need to meet in ann arbor over some cheap booze and big 10 burritos and talk this out in a civil manner. i’ll moderate. afterwards, there will be a gamua/activist mixer in the union, followed by a massive orgy.

i love being flippant amongst so much misdirected angst!! have a wonderful day, everyone, and do be sure to let me know when you’ve identified reality :)

“The Society Formerly Known As Michigamua” is one I’ve actually heard in use around these parts…
