In fact, their eekly 90-minute session leaves them sweat- g and out of breath. Welcome to the world of power yoga. "It's kind of like doing aerobics or gymnastics pt in a very mindful way," said Tyman, an Ann or resident who teaches the Saturday morn- g classes. "Your mind has to be fully engaged." Tyman began offering classes in power also called Astanga, one year ago at the ocal studio Inward Bound. The new, more hysically challenging form of yoga com- ites continuous movement with rhythmic reathing and appeals to many looking to ncrease strength and flexibility. Power yoga differs from traditional yoga, or angar yoga, in that it is more strenuous and tir- ng. In regular yoga, "you basically-do lots of solated poses," said student Agata Dichev. You kind of take it easy" ne session of the flexibility-inducing workout is equal to going on a six-mile run or hree-hour trek on a mountain bike. "The workout ... is really very hard and stren- ous," Dichev said. She said when a teacher ron another yoga class invited her to attend a ower yoga session, it was nothing like she xpected. "I almost died after the first class"' Part of the workout involves going from a tantling position into pushups, then tilting the pper body backward and forward, Dichev said. "The impression many people have (of ) is it's sitting cross-legged and chanting," yman said. When they hear the term power oga, "People think, 'how could that be?"' Karen Lombard, who graduated from the chool of Natural Resources and the nvironment last month, said increased flexi- ility and the chance to do a lot of stretching is hat drew her to yoga.

That is the task force recommenda- tion," said Alan Levy, director of Housing public affairs. "It is not set in stone. They may stay single-sex indefi- nitely. There may be a change." LSA first-year student Michelle Butler, along with many women in sin- gle-sex halls, finds the possible changes problematic. However, stu- dents who were involuntarily placed in all-female halls think there's too much single-sex housing anyway. "This is like a home. I know some people in this dorm who don't want this to happen," said Butler, who lives in. Newberry. "I would say leave the dorms the way they are." The cafeteria is their kitchen, the lounge area downstairs is their living room and they each have a bedroom. Residents say making the dorms coed would interfere with the intimate envi- ronment. This year, 673 women live in the three all-women residence halls: Barbour, Newberry and Stockwell. Another 150 live in Martha Cook, which is not a University Housing property. Levy said there were more spots in all-female halls than applicants this year. "There's too much room in the sense that we don't get applicants that match the number of spaces," Levy said. LSA first-year student Emily Goldsmith is one of those students who didn't want to live in Newberry. "A lot of girls on my floor didn't request all girls," she said.

Iraq's unsuccessful firing of a Soviet-made SA- 6 missile at two U.S. jet fighters patrolling the "no- fly" zone in northern Iraq, and a claim by Iraq that one of its MiG-25 jet fighters had streaked through the southern no-fly zone, appeared to strengthen Washington's determination to take new military action to ensure the safety of U.S. and allied pilots enforcing the bans on flights by Iraqi military aircraft. "Iraq's air defense crews were playing some kind of a game," Defense Secretary William Perry told reporters. "They will very soon learn that we are not playing games. "We have both the ability and the resolve to pro- tect our interests and to protect our flight crews," he added. "And the responses that we make will be disproportionate with the provocations which were made against us." At a campaign rally in Arizona, President Clinton spoke with similar emphasis. "We will do what we must to protect our people,"he said. "The determination of the United States to deal with the problem of Iraq should not be underestimated." In a related development, administration offi- cials said the United States is prepared to conduct a helicopter airlift to rescue 2,000 or more Kurds and other Iraqi dissidents in northern Iraq who worked for the United States, but the refugees remain trapped because neighboring Turkey is reluctant to let them in. The antiaircraft missile Iraq shot yesterday flew well wide of any U.S. jets, and the MiG-25 never actually entered the no-fly zone, American mili- tary officials said. Although the missile attack marked Iraq's boldest challenge to American See IRAQ, Page 7A U.S., Iraq playing different games Newsday Like a long-distance chess match between two grandmasters, the military confrontation joined by Iraq and the United States is being fought out on different boards that reflect different games. Saddam Hussein's playing field is in northern Iraq, where last month his troops crossed an invisible line into a zone inhabited by Kurds and protected by the U.S. Air Force. But some of those same Kurds that the United States is protecting in the north invited Hussein. their long-time enemy, into their enclave. And the situation there is further complicated by the direct military involvement of Iran, another U.S. enemy, and of Turkey, its ally. Initially, at least, the United States chose'to respond far away in the south of Iraq. Yesterday, Hussein once again made a move in the north. So as the architects of war in the Pentagon appeared to be drawing up plans for yet another strike, pol- icy-makers were confronted with the danger of being drawn into the northern quagmire. Richard Haas of the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C., said the situation recalls the academic "theory of comparative advantage" "Each side is focusing on the squares on the chessboard that look more attractive to it," Haas said. "Saddam is in a sense exploring just how free a hand he now has in the north. The U.S. is focusing on the south because it's a more strate- gic concern given the history of the (1990) inva- sion of Kuwait and it's a simpler playing field. It's not complicated by rival Kurdish factions, Iranian involvement, the Turkish dimension." But a deci- sion not to respond, or to respond again in the south of Iraq, a region of Shiite Muslims ethni- cally and religiously distinct both from the Iraqi See GAMES, Page 7A JOW"T"R'T E/Daiy Yoga-meister Jonathan Timer practices yoga moves in his Ann Arbor home last night. to be similar to langar yoga. "It's similar postures, but they put you through repetitions of what they call the sun- salutation series" Lombard said. Barbara Linderman, program director at Inward Bound, said she first became interested in the new yoga style several years ago. "I stud- ied it with two teachers in California that intro- duced me to the form. I offered a class in what I had learned, called aerobic yoga' Yoga-meisters say the long-term benefits are both physical and mental: participants are stronger, more flexible, have better digestion, and are better at handling stress. "Your whole character changes," Tyman said. "People seem to be more versatile emotionally. They are more capable of addressing situations that are stressful" Coupons way of life at 'U' py H o p e C a ld e r nor the Daily Each day students encounter pressing decisions, but some ace them even before they enter their first morning class. °endors litter Ann Arbor streets everywhere from the ichigan Union to West Hall, and it is almost impossible for tudents to avoid offers of coupon books. "I never use the coupons so I don't take the books," said SA sophomore Peter Brensilver. "There are too many ven- ors around campus, which I find a little annoying." But LSA sophomore Alison Jarosky said she will sift hrough the books for a good bargain. "i have about 20 of these books sitting on my desk at ome," Jarosky said. "I like the coupons because I use them the hair salons. I always take a book when I see someone ng them out because I feel bad saying no." For many students, the source of the books and the people who distribute them remains a mystery. James Lurich, who was stationed outside of Michigan ook and Supply on Friday, said he hands out as many as ,000 coupon books on a busy day. iuirich mrks for Sno'rts Guides Inc. n local distribution 'U' student taps into natural gas source By Brian Campbell Daily Staff Reporter With funding from U.S. oil compa- nies, University research scientists have discovered the origins of large natural gas deposits in northern Michigan that may cut down on indus- try drilling costs. The Antrim Shale, centered around - Gaylord and spreading across Antrim, Ostego and Montmorency counties, was found to contain natural gas deposits by oil and gas industry firms in the late '80s. The deposits' abundan- cy was only recently discovered by a University research team, led by Rackham student Anna Martini. t #.I '.5 f'?
