The Michigan Daily - Friday, November 16, 2001- 7 WAR Continued from Page 1. Omar ruled out taking part in a multiethnic government like the one the United Nations has proposed for Afghanistan. "The struggle for a broad-based government has been going on for the last 20 years, but nothing came of it," he said. "We will not accept a government of wrongdoers. We prefer death than to be a part of an evil government." Kandahar came under heavy bombardment yesterday, the Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic Press said. It said eight civil- ians were killed and 22 injured, a report that could not be inde- pendently verified. In Quetta, Pakistan, across the border from Kandahar, an anti-Taliban Afghan source -- speaking on condition of anonymity - said anti-Taliban forces had captured Kanda- har's airport and urged that the Taliban hand over bin Laden. The source's claims could not be independently confirmed. In the north, alliance commander Gen. Daoud said his forces wanted to persuade low-ranking Afghan Taliban in Kunduz to surrender. He said foreign forces in the city - believed to include Arabs, Chechens, Pakistanis and Chinese -- were pressuring Taliban fighters not to surrender. "For the foreign terrorists ... there will be no negotiations, we will not deal with them, they are killers," Daoud, who uses one name, said. In preparation for a possible assault by the alliance, high- flying U.S. warplanes pounded Taliban troop and tank posi- tions, with what witnesses said was deadly effect. "On one hill there were a lot of Taliban, and after the U.S. bombs hit, there was nothing living there," said 20-year-old refugee Jaglan Mohammed Sakhay. Franks told a Pentagon news conference that the pocket of resistance around Kunduz includes 2,000 to 3,000 al-Qaida SEARCH Continued from Page 1 regarding how public input will be con- sidered. "There are a number of people in the United States and the world who would be viable candidates, and the job of the committee is to try to help identify them;' Lewis said Lewis said candidate confidentiality is likely to be one priority during the search. White has not announced whether he will be a candidate for the permanent position. Lewis said White would go through the same process as the rest of the candidates. Also at yesterday's regents meeting, the board unanimously approved state appropriations requests for all three University campuses. The University is asking for a 4 per- cent increase in funding, but even that is "far less than we need," interim Provost Lisa Tedesco said. She acknowledged that the state may not be able to supply the 4 percent increase. "We recognize that this is going to be a difficult year for the state," she said. "Our goal is to weather the economic stonn without losing excellence." Major initiatives should maintain their momentum, but other programs may face cuts. Fiscal year 2003 "is going to be a very hard year and won't be business as usual, and we have to make cuts," said Paul Courant, associate provost for aca- demic and budgetary affairs. The Uni- versity will work with the deans to determine the right areas to scale back funding, he added. The proposal for the establishment of a Depression Center at the University, which Regent Andrea Fisher Newman (R-Ann Arbor) called "absolutely nec- essary," also passed without opposition. "This is a very big deal," Deitch said. "We should be excited about this and we should really put our energy behind this." fighters, whom he people." ECONOMY, Continued from Page 1. tive - this is what's keeping personal finances bright." He predicted the unemployment rate would top out at around 6.5 percent in 2002, while the travel and airline indus- tries will continue to report losses. Curtin also had negative predictions for the housing industry. "People feel home prices have declined and it's not a good time to sell," he said. "People are more likely to refi- nance their mortgages than buy. We'll have a lower housing market in 2002." On a positive note, Curtin acknowl- edged the current vigor of the auto industry, which has seen sales surge as a result of lowered annual percentage rates. Jim Weasel, sales manager at Howard Cooper Import Center on South State Street, agreed. "The APR, the rate that the manufac- turers are advertising, is driving up traf- fic in the store," Weasel said. "Business is up a good 20 percent, I would say." "We're releasing three new (Honda) models next year and we expect a busi- ness increase of 15 to 20 percent," he described as "some of the more hardcore added, noting that in recent months, the APR of a Honda Accord has fallen from 7 percent to 2.8 percent. With auto prices lower, many stu- dents are thinking of purchasing a new vehicle. "I'll admit - I'm looking," said LSA junior Colleen Cusick. "I really want something with four-wheel drive for the winter and the rates are so good right now, I'd be stupid not to at least browse." But Curtin cautioned that time is still needed for a full economic recovery. "Data indicates that we are in and will record a recession," he said. AMAKER Continued from Page 1 Hundreds of the 4,000 in attendance rushed the court, and commemorative t-shirts were issued after the game, with the slogan, "A Night to Remember" showcased on the back, along with the final score. "The game is still being talked about," Kampe said. "Now it's being talked about whether we can do it again." Unfortunately for Oakland, after accomplishing its major goal last season in a win over Michigan, the rest of the season served as an emotional letdown. A few days later, the Griz- zlies got smacked back into reality in a 97-61 drubbing to Michigan State and continued to downslide as they lost eight of their next 10 games. Now, Oakland senior Dan Champagne says that his senior- laden Grizzlies are poised with the same goal as Michigan - be dancing in March in the NCAA Tournament. It is the first year Oakland is eligible to make the "Big Dance." "This is the year that we've all been pointing to," Kamps said. "A lot of pressure is on us with a bunch of seniors who is their only chance." Pressure is also on Amaker, who has nade great strides in turning the program around, but will have his first chance to prove it out on the court. And while he wasn't around for last year's loss, nearly all the Wolverines were - and haven't for- gotten. Young said he frequently has encounters with people at restaurants around town, with the subject of the Oakland upset from a year ago always finding a way in the conversation. "I've got an incredible amount of revenge on my mind," Young said. "I've got a lot of built up emotion I've got to get rid of (today)." But Kampe says it doesn't matter what happens in Crisler Arena tonight, as last year's landmark win will never be taken away from the Grizzlies. "It doesn't matter if they beat us 100-2 this time," Kampe said. "It still won't take away from the fact we won last year." the michigan daily PIT RECEPTIONIST needed at In Touch ******** Therapeutic Massage. Afternoon, evening, & SPRING weekend hours avail.
