The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, March 21, 2001- 7 Caamnry, Accord most popular among auto thieves last year DETROIT (AP) - The Toyota Camry and Honda Accord dominate another list of most-popular vehicles nationwide, but it's nothing their makers relish. The two models hold 17 of the top 25 spots in a ranking of vehicles most stolen in the Unifed States last year, according to CCC Information Services Inc., an insurance industry tracker of trends in theft and other vehicle damage. The 1989 Camry led the way for the fourth year in a row, followed by 1990, 1991 and 1988 versions. Honda's 1994. 1996, 1990 and 1995 Accords placed fifth, sixth, eighth and tenth, respectively. Overall. five Camry models and a dozen of the Accords placed among the top 25 in Chicago-based CCC's yearly list released yesterday. Last year's list had 19 Camrys and Accords. Reflecting a growing appetite for pickup trucks among thieves. the 1994 Chevrolet C 1500 4x2 pickup truck placed seventh - up four spots while the 1997 Ford F-150 4x2 pickup came in ninth. In last year's listing, the F-150 model placed fifth as the only vehicle in the top 10 - foreign or domestic that wasn't a Camry or Accord. Also of note: 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 sport utility vehicle placing 20th, marking the first time an SUV made the list in four years, CCC spokeswoman Jeanene O'Brien said. Absent from the list for the first time in at least four years is the Chevrolet Caprice, perhaps reflecting declining con- sumer appeal for domestic mid- and large-sized domestic sedans, O'Brien said. Still, cases of major vehicle theft dropped 8.5 percent in 2000, following a 15 percent decline the year before. CCC said its data showed. Observers say Camrys and Accords remain popular among thieves because there's a great demand for their spare parts. they have been top-sellers for years and can be driven for hundreds of thousands of miles. NIH Continued from Page 1 Thomas outlined the process of applying and receiving a grant. The first stage of the process. known as "peer review." involves the use of nongovernmental experts in the given field scoring the applica- tions based on their evaluations of the merits of the study. In the next stage, the application is evaluated by the National Advisory Council of the NIII. For final approval, the application is sent to the director of the particular division that has oversight on the type of grant being evaluated by the NIH, such as the National Lye Institute. which evaluates eye research grants. Some of the criteria the NIHl takes into account are the significance of the study, which Thomas defined as whether "the study addresses a partic- ular problem." and the environment in which the study is to be done. PITINO Continued from Page 1 gan s home game against Indiana this year and have voiced their hope that Michigan would hire him to replace Brian I°llerbe as head coach for much of the year. "Pitino would have an instant impact." University alum Jason Witler said. "Ie would bring integrity back to the program." Witler and friends Joe Johnson, Dan Klemptner and Jennifer Kreszak orga- nized a petition pleading with Pitino to choose Michigan. Approximately 4.000 students signed the petition. which was later faxed to Pitino's home in Boston. The foursome is planning a rally at noon today on the Diag to show support for bringing Pitino to Ann Arbor. "I thought it would take a spark to start a fire," Johnson said. "I thought it would be a snowball efiect." Apparently, the snowball impressed Pitino. "He said I'll cherish that forev- er."' Lobel said regarding his discussion with Pitino about the petition. Before coaching the Celtics. Pitino coached at the University of Kentucky, the New York Knicks. Providence Uni- versity and Boston University. Ile won the 1996 national title with Kentucky and took the Wildcats to the Final Four in 1993 and 1997 as well. In 19F he coached Providence to the Final Four. But Lobel said that Pitino's next stop will be his last. "That's what his plans are," Lobel said. "He'd like to coach another six, seven, maybe 10 years. And Michigan and Louisville are his only options right now. His only other option right now is not to coach this year but he wants to get back in to it, as long as it's the right job." Former Michigan Athletic Director Bo Schembechler told The Detroit News last weekend that it would be a mistake for the University to pay its basketball coach more money than football coach Lloyd Carr. "I've got two words for you never happen:' Schembechler said. Pitino was rumored as a candidate for the job opening at Michigan in 1989, when Bill Frieder left Michigan before Steve Fisher led Michigan to the national title as interim coach. the michigan daily A FUN SUMMER JOB that makes a DIFFERENCE.

VOTING Continued from Page 1 Party vice-presidential candidate Jessi- ca Cash. Cash was disqualified with the rest of the Wolverine Party candi- dates last winter. "The irony surrounding the whole scandal is that Chip remains unpun- ished, Cash said. "He left campus for a term, expecting everyone to forget what he did." Englander has appeared hesitant to talk about last year's incident. When LSA senior Tom Aronson questioned him about it during WOLV-TV's presi- dential debate, Englander answered "I don't think that's what we're here to discuss." In the 1999 incident of fraud, stu- dents received e-mails confirming that they voted when it was actually the Blue Party member who had stolen their passwords who had used their account. "Forty students had already voted, but 70 got e-mails saying they had voted when they hadn't" Agrawal said. The student was punished under the MSA code, but he was not punished by the Election Board.

The Dow Jones Industrial. Standard & Poor 500 and NASDAQ indexes all closed down after the Fed's announcement. Other analysts noted that a larger cut, which would have been Greenspan's largest ever, could have harmed the economy by sig- naling a lack of confidence at the Federal Reserve. Recent forecasts for the economy have, in fact. been far from disrmal. University economists at the Research Seminar in Quantitative Economics released a report late last week refuting predictions of a coming recession. "The economy isn't nearly aca weak as the news hype implies." Ilymans said of the report, which predicted a 2.9 percent rate of growth in the second half of the year. Although the report warned of future rises in unemployment, real disposable income was predicted l* increase 3.0 percent in 200)1, and researchers noted the "small, positiv; impact on economic growth" that President Bush's tax cut could offer. In the mean time, the Federal Reserve will make economic growth and recovery its primary concern. In the announcement, Greenspan made clear that the Board will continue monitoring economic indexes, suggesting the possibility of further cuts in th' near future. mommommoommmmommon CARI BOU Continued from Page 1 ty subsidize the building because so many students and professors use it," he said. "This is like the end of' Antn Arbor. Caribou was my favorite place to study," said Anna Skinner, an LSA freshman and employee at E instein Bros. Bagels, located next to Caribou. Skinner said business at Einstein would probably not increase following Caribous closing because the two shops attract diflrent kinds of customers.

"Even if they rented out a new place it wouldn't open for a year. The own- ers would be looking at a lower-cost area to rent out, such as somewhere near I-94, and that wouldn't be acces- sible to students," Pyne said.

CELL PHONES Continued from Page 1 The legislators "need to take a look at all the distractions that are out there." Pemble pointed to a recent study per- formed by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety that found talking on phones accounts for only 2 percent of' all accidents in which the driver was dis- tracted. According to the study, which is still in its preliminary phase, driver distrac- tion is a factor in about half of the six million traffic accidents each year in the United States. The study analyzed 26,145 accidents nationwide between 1995 and 1998. Of Pie nine driving distractions enu- meracd by thestudy, cell phones ranked sixth while distractions outside "We should get all the cards:' he said. "If we don't study the issue in an open. forthright fashion, people will continue to have this perception. If Pemble has it his way, a vote will never come.
