Leonard photo Dance Student Assembly, DSA, was the student body government for the University ' s dance program. The dance program was a branch of the auditioned School of Music, which was one of the best performing arts schools in the United States, and along with dance, included programs in music, musical theatre, and theater. Like most student governments, DSA worked to decrease the gap between the administration and the enrolled students. Junior dance major Lizzie Leopold said that, We serve as a voice for the student body, a liaison between faculty and students. Any University dance major could elect to run for a position on DSA. Former members took on the responsibility of electing new members, thereby ensuring the even continuance of DS A ' s voice. Aside from acting as human bridges, DSA also had other obligations within their department. The executive board, made up of a president and a treasurer, led DSA. DSA meetings occurred once a month with the student members and then twice a semester with the chair of the Dance Department. During these times, DSA worked to plan, organize, and sponsor events such as Halloween parties and end-of-semester parties. They were also concerned with the community, raising money for groups in the Ann Arbor area. Emily Tubman, junior dance major, said, DSA meets once a month to discuss issues pertinent to the students in the dance department. We also do community service. For example, we have a penny war which raises a few hundred dollars to sponsor a family at Christmas. DSA also worked on a smaller scale. A big little sibling program was devised as means to facilitate underclassmen ' s shift into a collegiate-level dance program. All in all, within the Dance Department itself, DSA became a familiar organization to students majoring in dance. DSA was also looking to gradually expand into other areas of the School of Music as their participation increased through various other department events. en (V 00 s Q- ra I dance student assembly by : dorothy weise

golf club W9 Relatively new on campus, the University ' s Golf Club was established by now senior economics and pre-health major Adam Nadelson in the spring of 2004. Nadelson expressed his desire to create a club for purposes of frequent practice and play. Nadelson founded the club based on the goal to offer UM students and alumni the opportunities to learn, play and excel at the game of golf. Members practiced in a variety of ways, each targeting specific skills needed to improve his or her game. Nadelson further expressed, Whether it is working on skills at the golf range or playing on the course, the goals were to strengthen each others skills and make friends. In addition to practicing, members prepared to compete as the official University of Michigan Golf Club. They planned to attend competitions against many other college teams and cl ubs in the spring. The team would not have to travel far in order to compete in these brand new events, most of which were charitable. This year the Golf Club held both the Greek Open and the University of Michigan Campus Classic. Unique to the game of golf, The University of Michigan Campus Classic was a tournament played with only wedges throughout Central Campus and was held on April 21. All money raised was turned over to a charity of the team ' s choice. Nadelson explained ' This spring we plan on working with the University of Michigan Alumni Association to organize a charity golf tournament, donating all proceeds to benefit prostate cancer research. With barely a year under their belts, the Golf Club was a quickly growing organization. The Club concluded their successful second year by employing achievable goals and beneficial services.
