U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell (D–Dearborn) visited campus on Saturday to speak with
“I do want (Clinton) to win, to be perfectly frank,” she said. “I’m competitive. I worked with Hillary. I saw her work with John (Dingell) on health care in the ‘90s, and she is the best person for the job.” Students for Hillary has been organizing phone banks since last fall, during which students call potential voters and attempt to convince them to vote for Clinton in the upcoming primaries.

Last week, the Ross School of Business announced, in collaboration with Nielsen Holdings N.V., that MBA students will gain access to Nielsen’s Answers on Demand Core platform and point-of-sale data. Nielsen is a leading U.S. company that measures and studies consumer trends around the world. Businesses utilize Nielson’s data in order to improve their marketing strategies and stimulate growth. Point-of-sale data refers to raw data that Nielsen collects based on consumer purchases, among other categories, and the AOD refers to their user database where businesses come to gather this data. Ross is among the first
business schools to have access to the data. The idea for the partnership with Nielsen arose four years ago out of a proposal by the University’s student-run MBA Marketing Club to create a Marketing Lab within Ross. The lab’s mission statement is to prepare students for “marketing careers through action-based analysis of in-market data.” The lab is set to open in fall 2016. Heather Byrne, managing director of the Master of Business Administration program, has been working with students and administration to establish the lab. She explained in an e-mail interview that the development culminated with Nielsen in recent months. “Earlier this year, the students, myself, our Associate Dean for the MBA Program got on a call to talk more about having access to the Nielsen data,” she wrote. “I think having that joint phone call may have been a turning point, because it became clear to Nielsen that not only was this important to the students but See DATA, Page 3A

Indian cultural dance show embraces traditional music Participants emphasize the creative nature of performances By MARGOT SHERIDAN For the Daily
The Rogel Ballroom of the Michigan Union filled Sunday for a night of Indian music and
dance. The annual winter concert, Swaranjali, is organized by Michigan Sahana, a group of Indian classical artists focused on the performance and appreciation of the traditional Indian art forms. These students organize concerts and educational events throughout the year to spread awareness of India’s traditions of music and dance. LSA freshman and
Sahana member Krithika Balakrishnan said the concert allows participants to integrate their own creative ideas into the performance. “Swaranjali is an unthemed concert, so musicians and artists can explore whatever they want. It’s not constrained, it’s a lot more open,” she said. “The dancers have been coming together to create the choreography for See DANCE, Page 3A
Ann Arbor will conclude its months-long, nationwide search for a new police chief by promoting internally. City Council is expected to confirm Jim Baird — currently the interim Ann Arbor Police Department chief — as the chief of police at its meeting Monday. The search for a new chief began following the retirement of former Police Chief John Seto, concluding a 25-year AAPD career. In May 2015, Seto took a new position in the University of Michigan Housing Security and Safety Services. Baird was named interim chief during the search for a replacement. City Council had previously confirmed James White, See CHIEF, Page 3A
