REACTION Continued from Page 1A he. doesn't expect the program to R improve under Amaker. "I think that with Amaker, the Michi- Sgan basketball program is heading towards three more years of mediocrity." Nicholson said. "He is an unproven coach. He came to Seton Hall with very high expectations. They were Tanked in the top 10 at the beginning of the year an barely made the NIT. .. Who's to s&y that he won't have the same prob- Jenms here at Michigan?" ~University "Superfan" Reza Break- stone said he's happy that the basketball coaching situation was finally put to _.Tast. Breakstone hopes Amaker, who served as an assistant coach at Duke under head coach Mike Krzyzewski before leaving for Seton Hall, will be able to bring a little Blue Devil magic to Ann Arbor. I'm glad that the basketball coach situation has come to a resolution. I think that no matter who we get, the basketball program will be revitalized ad the student body will be re-ener- CENSUS Continued from Page IA would not do the same. He said the Leg- *slature had approved measures to ensure districts would be drawn fairly. "We are taking guidance from past court cases and basically incorporating them into the framework for redistrict- ipg in 2001," he said. Democrats have accused Republicans at both the state and national levels of marginalizing the voting power of minority districts, which tend to vote strongly Democratic. One of the first to be criticized was 1.S. Secretary of Commerce Donald Evans, who chose not to release statisti- cally adjusted population counts that supporters of "statistical sampling" say give more accurate counts of minority, districts. "There are large parts of the city of Detroit that are undercounted and there is no question in my mind that if adjust- ments were made for sampling, that rep- *esentation from Detroit would increase substantially," Brock said. But Ginotti said the Legislature already took undercounts into consider- ation, allowing deviation from the aver- age number of residents -per district in minority areas to allow for more dis- tricts to be created in urban areas. "The idea that you can draw lines on a map and guarantee victory for Repub- licans and Democrats is just a fallacy," he said. GREEK Continued from Page 1A camp for children with AIDS. "We chose to sponsor Camp Heart- land because it's extremely unique. It is the world's largest camping program .for children affected with AIDS, and it alows them to live without the prob- erns of their disease and participate in activities normal children do," said Chad Fernandez, Greek Week public ~relations co-chair. Even though Greek Week, which began Tuesday, lasts only 10 days, the teams of sororities and fraternities 'have been participating in other events throughout the year, including K- (irams and Dance Marathen, said Corey Fernandez. Chad Fernandez added that the lood drive is one of the largest events F"ljing Greek Week. .,The blood drive is a part of our Creek Week every year. It is extremely significant because 97 percent of the human population will need a blood transfusion at some time during their H Ives," he said. The blood drive will :axe place throughout the week at the Michigan anion. Students and community mem- 4ers can register online ahead of time The Journey of Hope next Monday night is another highlight of Greek Week that community and campus xrembers are encouraged to take part 'We have four to six kids ,hat have participated in Camp Heartland and the founder'of the camp flying in to speak with everyone about AIDS awareness education and their experi- ances. It's always a heartfelt presenta- Won from the kids about how the camp bAs touched their lives, said Betsy Nichols, Greek Week event chair. The week will culminate next Thursday evening with a Sing and Variety competition at Hill Auditori- um. fhis event is another way the rest of the campus and community can par- ticiate in Greek Week. We will have eo portions: a sing and dance compe- tition, which are both always really fun to watch," said Nichols.

I think we just need to have a coach, get behind him, and move for- ward," Breakstone said. "Amaker's pedigree under Mike Krzyzewski would suggest that the same kind of program that is work- ing at Duke could hopefully tran- scend and come here to Michigan and work," he said. "Hopefully if he has the same kind of discipline and hard work that Krzyzewski instills in his boys at Duke, he will be a good fit here." Although students have mixed feel- ings about Athletic Director Bill Mar- tin's decision to hire Amaker, most feel that he will far exceed Ellerbe as a coach. "I had season tickets this year, and I plan on getting them again even though Amaker is the coach" Doyle said. "I'm sure he'll be better than Ellerbe." With Amaker taking control of the basketball team, fans are hopeful that the program will begin heading in a new, positive direction. "Michigan is a bigger program than SetonaHall" Breakstone said. "Here, he will have plenty of room to grow." AMAKER Continued from Page 1A he is a players-type coach. He yells when he has to, but he also knows when to sit down and talk with you." When asked if he or any of his teammates would transfer, Young said, "I don't think so." One player who promised not to transfer is freshman guard Bernard Robinson, who was recruited by Amaker in high school. "I like the decision' Robinson said. "He was my favorite candidate because. I knew him in high school. He's a good all-around guy and a great, young coach." After reporting that Amaker was coming to Michigan, ESPN said last night that he was having second thoughts about leaving Seton Hall. That report was refuted by Martin, W....OR 1. ,..DA :: who received a phone call from Amak- er confirming that he was coming. He also called ESPN to refute the report. Amaker, 35, was 68-55 in four sea- sons at Seton Hall, including a Sweet 16 appearance in last year's NCAA Tour- nament and three NIT appearances. The Pirates, who started the season ranked in the top 10, struggled all sea- son and reached their low point when junior Ty Shine and freshman Eddie Griffin were involved in a fight in the locker room after a game. Michigan was 10-18 last year and finished in 10th place in the Big Ten. It was the Wolverines worst showing since the 1981-82 season. None of Ellerbe's assistant coaches have been fired yet and Martin said it will be up to Amaker to decide if he wants to retain the same support staff. Michigan's lone national title came against Seton Hall in 1989.
