Carr announces new recruits

RECRUITS
Continued from Page 1A
to sign three receivers who should complement
each other well on the field. Jason Avant, a 6-2,
195 pound prospect, gives Michigan an aggres-
sive receiver with the size to exploit small defen-
sive backs.
Carl Tabb brings blazing speed and great leap-
ing ability. Tabb runs the 100 meters in 10.4 sec-
onds, has been electronically timed at 4.42
seconds in the 40 yard dash, and boasts a 42 inch
vertical leap.
The final wide receiver commitment, Steve
Breaston, played quarterback in high school. But
after Michigan coaches saw film of him return-
ing punts, they were convinced he had the superi-
or athleticism to play receiver. "You could see his
athletic ability,"said Morrison on the decision to
recruit him as a receiver. "The coach said that
he's the best athlete they've ever had there. That
had a lot to do with it as well." Breaston has been
timed at 4.4 seconds in the 40 yard dash.
In the aftermath of the Citrus Bowl blowout to
Tennessee, in which tight end Jason Witten out-
ran both Michigan safeties to the end zone, speed
appeared to be a concern in the secondary. Both
cornerbacks recruited this year, Quinton McCoy
and Willis Barringer, possess 4.3 speed in the 40-
yard dash. McCoy has been labeled by some as
the best athlete in the state of Arizona.
Barringer, at 6-1 and 185, could mark a return
to the Ty Law/Charles Woodson days as a fast
and physical bump-and-run corner, but his true
position may end up elsewhere in the backfield.
"Barringer is a kid that runs extremely well yet
he's big enough that he could be a safety," Carr
said.

The Wolverines are also well-equipped at safe-
ty with big-hitters Greg Cooper and Jacob Stew-
art. Cooper, a prep All-American, can run the 40
in 4.5 seconds and has been rated as the No. 4
free safety prospect by MaxEmfingerRecruiting.
com.
At linebacker, Carr is excited about Brian
Thompson, brother of graduating captain Shawn
Thompson.
"I've known Brian Thompson for five years,"
said. Carr. "You watch this kid ... he's got it. He's
a wonderful athlete, and he has tremendous
quickness, intensity. He's going to be an out-
standing football player here."
Jeremy Van Alstyne, rated as the No. 16 line-
backer by Lemming, possesses the size at 6-4,
240 pounds to grow into a quick defensive end.
He chose Michigan after de-committing from
Notre Dame following former coach Bob
Davie's dismissal. Michigan has often converted
big linebackers into pass-rushing defensive ends
as it has done with Shantee Orr, Dan Rumishek,
Jake Frysinger and others,.
For all of Michigan's successful hits on the
recruiting trail, there have been a few misses as
well. Multi-threat quarterback James Banks
chose Tennessee over Michigan. The athletic
Banks had the Wolverines as his leader until pro-
style quarterback Gutierez signed.
Other misses included prep-All American
wide receiver Maurice Stovall, who chose the
Fighting Irish and prep-All American David
Horne, who chose Nebraska. As it stands, the
Wolverines have recruited only two running
backs. This may be because Michigan will be
stacked at the position this fall with Kelly Baraka
and Timmy Bracken beginning their four years
of eligibility.

SYMPOSIUM
Continuedfrom Page 1A
get preschool, they don't even get kindergarten, but
they're going to live or die on these tests. It's punitive
hypocrisy," he said.
Kozol also said his talk will focus on what he calls
"neo-liberals."
"There are a lot of people who have sort of given up the
fight for racial justice in this country, but still feed off the
nostalgia of the civil rights movement," he said. "I'm
thinking of people who live in virtually segregated sub-
urbs outside of Chicago, and outside of New York, and
who refuse to send their children to schools in those cities
but still play their Pete Seger LPs at night and get nostal-
gic about their undergrad days at Ann Arbor. They still
love their John Lennon songs, but it seems they've gone
down Abbey Road too many times and come back empty-
handed."
Kozol said he finds current campus activism heartening, but
more can be done to aid students in segregated districts.
"I don't mean just going in and tutoring them once a
week. That's charity, but it's no substitute for racial jus-
tice," he said. "I'm going to urge the students who come
out to hear me Friday to take some big risks in their
careers and to take political action and not to simply listen
to politically correct music."
Kozol's keynote address is at 7:30 p.m. and is open
to the public. Saturday's events require a registration
fee.
INVASION

suspects in that incident have not been apprehended, and secu-
rity has been increased around East Quad.
DPS spokeswoman Diane Brown said that there is
already a residence hall security officer in West Quad
and there will probably be a stronger police presence.
The resident complimented DPS's quick response to her
room last night, but said, "All over campus, any individual
can get into a dorm ... In terms of keeping people out, I

PICKET
Continued from Page1A
Third-year resident Esteban Miller
said he chose to picket yesterday to
show the hospital that he is behind
the HOA's demands for a better con-
tract and continued negotiations.
"We've fallen behind the national
inflation rates," Miller said. "People
don't go into medicine anymore to
make tons of money."
Jacobs said the hospital supports and

graduated last year.
"She had a good sense of when
her friends needed support. She

While living in Shanghai, Gruber

Zachary Knowlton. Knowlton is

ing to avoid the dire economic situa-
tions that other hospitals are dealing
with.
"UMHS has managed to reduce
costs and stay in the black to this point,
while other hospitals face deficits, lay-
offs and even closure. But we must
keep these ongoing financial challenges
firmly in mind when making any finan-
cial commitments, including those

said.

certificate is issued and Gruber's

United States. Knowlton was also a
2001 University graduate. The two
first met in the summer of 1999
when they were both living in
Stevens Co-op, a cooperative hous-
ing center on South Forest Avenue.
Gruber, originally from Midland, is

held at the Wilson Miller Funeral Home

DINING HALLS
Continued from Page 1A
"Right now we're essentially repli-
cating our menu in 10 different facili-
ties and that is not as cost effective as
being able to look at one larger dining
commons somewhere on campus,"
Levy said.
Housing administrators say that
larger dining facilities could lead to
greater student satisfaction.
"I think depending on what one's
philosophy is, it really could work"
said Bill Durell, director of dining ser-
vices.
the michigan daily

Some students are interested in the
new dining commons idea. "I think I'd
like that because they don't have much
variety and the hours aren't that long,"
said LSA sophomore Katie Weller.
Others are interested in the possibil-
ity of increased variety. "I think there
are far too many carbohydrates," said
LSA freshman Priya Pai, who said she
would like a greater variety of food in
the dining halls.
Dining services administrators say
they seek to maximize student satis-
faction on a limited budget. "We are
charged with raising the entirety of our
expenses through room and board in

residence halls

services we provide," Levy said.
Dining services is part of University
Housing, an auxiliary unit of the Uni-
versity. Auxiliary units receive no
money from the University to operate.
The University Hospital and the Ath-
letic Department are also auxiliary
units.
"The financial model that is used by
dining services now may or may not
be the financial model of new dining
facilities in the future," said Levy.
Dining services has hired outside
consultants to help them evaluate the
current situation and prepare to build

the new residence hall.
"We've brought in some of the best
dining services consultants in the
country, who have worked on campus-
es all across the country, and have very
tangible experience with what has
worked and not worked with both new
construction and renovation and retro-
fitting old dining facilities, and we
need to do both," said Levy.
Although interested in the larger
dining hall idea, some want to keep the
existing system for the new residence
hall. "It's just better to keep it the way
it is," said Weller. "I wouldn't want to
have to go too far to eat."
