SCHOOLS
Continued from page 1
medical school class were University
graduates. The second most represented
school was Harvard University, account-
ing for 4.5 percent of entering students.
In the MBA program - in which Uni-
versity students are nearly 10 percent
more likely to be accepted than other
applicants - 12 percent of all students
are University graduates.
"(University students) are incred-
ibly well prepared, monumentally well
prepared," said Daniel Remick, assis-
tant dean for admissions at the Medical
School. "(It's) what the numbers show
- we really want students from this
university, we know we're getting a
high -quality product from U of M."
Zearfoss said the quality of Law
School applicants from the University is
comparable to that of Harvard and Yale
graduates. She added that compared
to Ivy League schools, the University
doesn't coddle its students and has rela-
tively little grade inflation.
Jim Hayes, the director of admissions
for the University's business school, said
that when high school students are con-
sidering which college to attend, they
should think ahead to graduate school.
"If I were talking about my own
kids, I'd clearly steer them to a
school where the MBA program is
reputable and they also have a decent
shot at admission (to the MBA pro-
gram)," Hayes said, adding that he
has sent three of his four children to
the University.
But Chris Lucier, senior associate
director of undergraduate admis-
sions, said he advises high school
students not to place too much
weight on their prospects for gradu-
ate school when they apply for col-
lege.
"(At the University), I can be in a
frat(ernity) or go to a football game
or be in any type of club imagin-
able," Lucier said. "That's what real-
ly draws students to Michigan."
Remick said that although it is
impossible to quantify how impor-
tant a student's undergraduate
school is for admission to the Medi-
cal School, it ranks as one of his top
considerations.
"When high school students ask
me what they can do to get into
medical school, I tell them, 'Get into
Michigan,"' he said.
BREAK-INS

robbed Sunday. Some of the residents
of the house were awake until 3 a.m.
But when Lavigne came downstairs
at 10 a.m., the house's microwave, a
PlayStation and the living-room tele-
vision were gone.
There was no evidence of forced
entry, and members of the frater-
nity plan to change all of the locks,
Lavigne said, adding that the crime
appeared to be well-planned and that
he thinks the perpetrator was some-
one who had been to their house
before.
While the victims said they do
not feel threatened or less safe than
before the break-ins, they advised
other students to lock all windows
and doors before leaving.

we have seen two or more times more
positive test results at UHS than yearly
totals for 1996-2002," she said.
This rise in HIV cases could be
due in part to the higher number of
people getting tested. Jarret-Ten-
ney said UHS now conducts 1,100 to
1,300 tests per year, while in 1987,
it conducted only 241. This increase
could result from a lessening of the
social stigma placed on. people with
HIV/AIDS.
"It is often hard to walk in the
door to get tested, but usually once
people have gotten the test, they are
glad that they did," Jarret-Tenney
said.

BRIBE
Continued from page 1
more than $1.8 million in cash, and
antiques and rugs.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will have
14 days to set a date for an election to replace
Cunningham, the governor's office said.
He is the first congressman to leave
office amid bribery allegations since
2002, when former Rep. James Trafi-
cant (D-Ohio) was sentenced to eight
years in prison after being convicted
of racketeering and accepting bribes.
The case began when authori-
ties started investigating Cunning-
ham's sale of his Del Mar house to
defense contractor Mitchell Wade
for $1,675,000. Wade sold the house
nearly a year later for $975,000 - a
loss of $700,000 in a hot real estate
market.
Prosecutors said the house pur-
chase was part of Cunningham's
guilty pleas.
In addition to buying Cunningham's
home at an inflated price, Wade let him
live rent-free on Wade's yacht, the Duke
Stir, at a yacht club. Wade's company,
MZM Inc., also donated generously to
Cunningham's campaigns.
Around the same time, MZM was
winning defense contracts.
MZM does classified intelligence
work for the military. It had $65.5
million of contracts for intelligence-
related defense work in fiscal 2004,
ranking No. 38 on the Pentagon's list.
The company has established a pres-
ence in Iraq, fielding a small team
of interpreters shortly after the inva-
sion.

For Tuesday, Nov. 29, 2005
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
Be gentle with yourself today. And be
gentle with others. It's easy to feel criti-
cal of everything around you because
you're disappointed in something. (This
passes quickly.)
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
You might feel disillusioned with oth-
ers today - especially partners or close
friends. But you have to ask yourself:
Are your expectations realistic? Maybe
not.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
It's a bit challenging at work today.
Nothing is where it's supposed to be.
People let you down. You might get dis-
couraged. Be aware that everybody feels
this way today; you're not alone.
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
There isn't a parent in the world who
doesn't feel guilty at times. Raising chil-
dren is an enormous responsibility.
Don't be down on yourself today regard-
ing children and creative projects.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
You might feel sorry for a family
member today, or you might feel sorry
for yourself. These feelings won't help
anyone. What disappoints you today is
nn1-2- dhcn- +nn'....rru nhn+ ; i
Today you doubt your sense of good for-
tune. (Let this go.)
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
The Moon in your sign makes you
more emotional. You're sensitive to fail-
ures and feelings of inadequacy. Hey -
who's perfect? No one. Relax.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Optimism and physical activity are
survival issues for you. You have to
believe in yourself, and you have to
believe in a better tomorrow. Therefore,
dispel those negative vibes!
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
A friend might disappoint you. Or vice
versa. Keep in mind that only those you
really care about can get a reaction from
you. Don't take this seriously.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
You might feel like a boss or a parent
is upset with you today. Or you might
feel let down. There's a lot of confusing
negative vibes out there today. Shake
them off!
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
Unexpressed expectations lead to dis-
appointment. Unrealistic expectations do
the same thing. Ironically, when you're
disillusioned, it means the illusion is
now removed! (Go figure.)
