18B - The Michigan Daily - Weekend, etc. Magazine - Thursday, April 6, 2000
For those moving out as this semester ends, here
are a few tips to help you with your efforts:
Remember to pack a box of basics you'll'need on
move-in day (tools, paper products, all-purpose household
cleaners, etc.) Be sure to have it loaded last so that it will
be first off at your new home.
Contact the local post office to forward your mail for
you.
E Maintain an inventory checklist to make sure you have
all of your items when you unpack.
K Have the utilities cancelled the day after you move out.
K Carefully wrap liquids, cleaners, -and shampoos in plas-
tic wrap or liners.
If your move is short-term, you might want to consider
a storage facility. Be sure to ask about access hours, key
control, lighting, climate control and security at the stor-
age site.

A2 Best Place to Work Out
CCRB rules as athletic landmark rm.F
'Detective' finds cheap sublets
By To"in Akinmusuru
Weekend, Etc. Editor ij. \g
With the proliferation of new dot-
coms all over campus, this appears to
be the year of the Internet throughout
campus.
It should then be no surprise that the
finalists for Best Apartment Locator
were all Websites. Such sites offer
users quick property search capabili-
ties, as well as providing the anonymi-
ty many students want while looking
around for housing.
This year's winner edges out other
online competitors to triumph as Best
Apartment Locator.
Founded by three University stu-
dents, RentDetective provides the abil-
ity to search Ann Arbor properties
online. On RentDetective.com, users
are able to search for listings by lease
type, property style, location on cam-
pus, number of bedrooms and price
range, allowing them make their
search as broad or as narrow as they
choose by entering which criteria are
important to them in their housing
search.
Students can retrieve listings of both
leases and sublets for apartments and
houses located in a specified area
around campus. The visitor can even
return to a specific listing at a later
date just by entering its reference num-
ber.

By Jeff Druchniak
Weekend, Etc. Editor
Some people might roll their eyes in
exasperation upon learning the Central
Campus Recreation building was once
again voted the best place to work out on
campus in the Best of Ann Arbor poll.
Same people wouldn't think of crafting a
college schedule without a rock-solid slot
for regular workout time at the CCRB.
Many members of those two groups of
people are the same.
A conundrum, newcomers might ask?
Not really - there are a range of expla-
nations to choose from. Some people, as
any campus veteran can tell you, just
thrive on looking for something to com-
plain about, and don't consider their
devotion to the CCRB at all odd in com-
parison with their habitual criticism of
the facility.
Some people simply don't feel any
other local option is viable - the North
Campus Recreation building or outlying
private gyms pose too inconvenient a
commute for them, but that doesn't blot
out their legitimate and deeply felt gripes
about the inconvenient corwds and red
tape a recreation seeker often endures at
the CCRB.
"I'm not going to miss it, that's for
sure," said LSA senior Stan Gazzara, on
his prospects of graduating and turning in
his locker key at the CCRB. "I'm tired of
having to get up at 6:30 in the morning if
I don't want (a) mob" of fellow students
to compete with for space to complete his
workout, he explained.
Meanwhile, other students actually
expressed the wish that the CCRB would
open before its usual hours of 7 a.m. to
10 p.m., indicative of a deep-seated
Puritan work ethic.
But these aren't completely negative
complaints, upon further and more sub-
dued contemplation. The bustling crowds
of students jockeying for time at the
CCRB, and the desire for extended hours
on the part of others, points to the exten-
sive facilities for a long list of athletic
pursuits available at the long-suffering
CCRB, with a variety that's hard to match
anywhere else.
Those in search of individual workout
options, be they in the weight room, the
swimming pool or the throes of a stair-
stepping frenzy, are at no less recourse
for options than those students who want
to enjoy a group activity like basketball,
racquetball or water polo.
Students also seem more willing to put
up with certain limited-scale objections
as the weather gets warmer and working
out becomes more of a priority. Another
complaint is the location. Kinesiology
sophomores Corwin King and Sara
Freeh were among those who cited the
ratcheting up of interest in physical fit-
ness as summer approached and looking
good during outdoor activities became a
greater cause for concern.

both also based in Ann Arbor.
Although the other two sites also
hold most of the same features,
RentDetective is the only site that only
has information for the Ann Arbor
Area. The other Websites have infor-
mation about other campuses, but the
energy required to expand into multi-
ple campuses might have prevented
them to focus on Ann Arbor as intent-

The following workout program is
formulated to fit the hectic, high-
caloric, sometimes unhealth
lifestyle of college students. t is
NOT a professional recommenda-
tion or expert opinion, but it does
combine cardiovascular with
muscle-building activity, and it
burns mucho calories without a
huge time commitment.
Do 3 sets of 12 repetitions each
of several free weight exercises:
Bicep curls, overhead tricep exten-
sions, lateral presses, shrugs and
rowing. Some variations are OK.
Use one barbell on each hand of
a manageable weight. The point's
the reps, not your muscles' limits.
After every set, do 10 to 20
stomach crunches to keep your
heart rate going, then back to work.
Do this three times a week. It
takes less than 45 minutes and
most of your calories get burned
after, as your system cools down.
