Sweetwaters coffee shop to move into old Borders Franchise’s fourth A 2 location will cater more to students By ALICIA ADAMCZYK Daily News Editor

University students who enjoy the Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea locations throughout Ann Arbor will soon have an option much closer to Central Campus. Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea, an Ann Arbor staple since 1993, is opening its fourth Ann Arbor location in the space formerly occupied by Borders at 604 East Liberty St. in Spring 2014. The other Ann Arbor Sweetwaters shops are located downtown, in Kerrytown and on Plymouth Road. University alum Lisa Bee, owner of Sweetwaters said she was approached by franchisees Sheila Qin Li and Roy Xu to open a new store during the summer, but the East Liberty location wasn’t decided upon until about two months ago. Bee said she’s happy with the new location because Sweetwaters had always wanted to be closer to campus. Bee is involved with the new

2,020-square-feet shop, which will also have openings for 15 to 20 parttime employees. Despite the fact that there is a bevy of coffee options all located within a block of the space, Bee said she is not worried about the competition, especially considering the coffee-drinking habits of college students. “I think we can all co-exist,” Bee said. “We’re in downtown, and there are many coffee shops around downtown and we’re all doing fine.” Music, Theatre & Dance sophomore Michael Saterson, a Starbucks employee, said the addition of Sweetwaters to the area will impact sales, but he doesn’t think it will sway Starbucks regulars. Kirstin VanDeventer, a manager at the Biggby Coffee on East Liberty, said she doesn’t expect Sweetwaters to impact the sales of the company because of the different environments the two cafés offer. “We have a very unique menu, and I stand by that,” VanDeventer said. Bee will also be involved in the interior design plans, which she said may be different from the environment of other franchises. See SWEETWATERS, Page 3A

Lecture questions ethics of organ-donation system

By RACHEL PREMACK Daily Staff Reporter

Like eating or sleeping, work is one of the most common human experiences. But it’s consuming more time than ever for the hardest-working Americans. Kathryn Dekas, people analytics manager at Google and a Ross Ph.D graduate, wondered why people approached this essential life activity so differently — some see a job as a means to a paycheck, while others consider it a life passion. In the first empirical study of the origins of work orientations, Dekas and Business Prof. Wayne Baker, chair of Management and Organizations at the See WORK, Page 3A

Compensation may ease shortage, says professor By AMABEL KAROUB For the Daily

Imagine a world where patients in need could pay for immediate access to organs.

At the 18th annual Raymond W. Waggoner lecture on Ethics and Values in Medicine, Robert Sade, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina, argued for the legalization of compensation for organs before a crowd of roughly 50 people at the University Hospital. Sade spent most of his lecture discussing the

misconceptions associated with organ donation, noting that paying donors for their organs is widely believed to be unethical and immoral. Organ donation levels have stagnated in recent years, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths, in part because there is no compensation for organs, he said. “The rate of growth of See ORGAN, Page 3A

Despite the stabbing of two members of the University’s chapters of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity early November by an angry party-crasher, the Interfraternity Council is conflicted as to whether existing security measures are sufficient to handle future incidents. The assault at SAE occurred after four individuals were kicked out of the fraternity house, leading to a heated verbal altercation in which the suspect drew a knife and stabbed two sober monitors. Because SAE was expelled from IFC in 2011 for hazing allegations, the chapter’s sober monitors were not required to complete University Health Service’s Sober Monitor training, and the chapter was not under jurisdiction of IFC’s Social Environment Management Policy. SEMP provides a mandatory, 19-page protocol for hosting an IFC social event. Strict SEMP guidelines are enforced by the Social

Responsibility Committee, which is composed of 13 Greek-affiliated students. On party nights, members make rounds as “checkers” to patrol for policy violations. During that time, sober monitors must submit to breathalyzer tests by request of SEMP checkers, who also have the right to shut down a party if deemed necessary. Whether SAE was following the SEMP policy the night of the attack is unclear. Brandon Weghorst, a national spokesman for SAE, could not be reached for comment after repeated requests. SRC, however, does not monitor events that are unaffiliated with IFC, like parties at SAE. LSA junior Tommy Wydra, the SRC chairman, said there are serious safety concerns for students at unregulated off-campus fraternities, but praised the sober monitor training required of IFC fraternities. “I’m very confident that an incident like this would not occur at any of our fraternity houses because of the training that we go through,” Wydra said. Training for sober monitors — the orange-shirt-clad fraternity members who man the doors and See SECURITY, Page 3A
