NEWS The Michigan Daily - Thursday, February 2, 2006 - 7A RECRUITS Continued from page 1A depth chart, Carr said. The recruiting season did not conclude without some disappointment for Michigan. Scout.com's No. 1 cornerback prospect, Jai Eugene, verbally com- mitted to Michigan on June 7, according to GoBlue- Wolverine.com. Just over three weeks later, on Jan. 30, Eugene retracted his commitment and yesterday signed a letter of intent with Louisiana State Univer- sity. LSU's campus is just miles away from his home in Destrehan, La. Michigan will add a 19th member to its class some- time next week when kicker Bryan Wright - who has already verbally committed - signs his letter of intent. Carr refrained from making authoritative state- ments about the future of the recruiting class but said he had a positive feeling. "We're excited about this recruiting class," the coach said. "I don't normally make predictions, but I think for those of you that will be here four or five years from now, my prediction is that this is going to be one of the better classes we've had. The potential is outstanding." COFFEE Continued from page 1A Steven Meyers, executive chef for the University dining halls, said dorm diners consume more than 1,600 pounds of coffee per year. That adds up to about $1,500. Although organic, fair-trade coffee beans are typically more expensive, Meyers said although it will more than double the cur- rent price, the increase will not affect student room and board fees. Meyers said the change was largely the result of student pres- sure. "I've never had as much stu- dent input and communication on a single item," Meyers said. "They impressed me with how forthcoming they were with their comments on fair-trade coffee." In late October, Meyers received more than 125 e-mails from students in support of the change. Students delivered a giant, cardboard coffee cup bearing the signatures and e- mail addresses of about 300 stu- dents. "As someone who samples the coffee, I'm not a big fan," said LSA sophomore Luay Almass- alha, a West Quad resident. "1 do think fair-trade tastes bet- ter." The Environmental Justice Group was encouraged by Mich- igan State University's decision to switch to fair-trade coffee last year. MSU was the first univer- sity with buffet dining halls to do so. - Andrew Grossman contributed to this report. CUTS Continued from page 1A kids out of school, and when higher education gets hurt, the economy gets hurt as well." The bill barely passed through the House on Dec. 19 by a vote of 212-206, but because of minor Senate amendments, the House had to reconsider it yesterday. The Senate approved the budget measure 51-50 with Vice Pres- ident Dick Cheney casting the tie-breaking vote. The voting yesterday broke down almost entirely by party lines. In the House vote yesterday, 200 out of 201 Democrats and the only Inde- pendent voted against it. One Democrat abstained. All but 13 of the 229 present House Republicans voted for it. IRV Continued from page 1A Loucks, a member of the Michigan Green Party. The coalition has been pushing for IRV since early 2004, but has so far been unsuc- cessful in getting their proposal on the voting ballot for a city charter amendment. The coalition's current proposal for adopt- ing IRV in Ann Arbor includes eliminat- ing all odd-year partisan primaries for City Council elections and all August primaries and switching over to nonpartisan IRV pri- maries for all even-year elections The proposal could be added if City Coun- cil votes to put it on the ballot with a simple majority vote from its eleven members or the coalition could bypass City Council by peti- tioning, which would put the IRV proposal on the ballot in a city election. "We need 4,000 petition signatures in order to put our proposal on the ballot, but we have to get about 7,000 to be safe," said Craig Harvey, leader of the Michigan Green Party's Ann Arbor IRV movement. He expects the petition to take about 2,000 hours of work. Supporters of IRV say current problems with the U.S. voting system are getting far too serious to be ignored. One of the com- mon problems with plurality is minority rule, a case where the winner is elected without the majority of the vote. Furthermore, plural- ity sometimes allows candidates with little chance of winning to knock off popular can- didates. One of the common criticisms facing IRV is that it gets too complex for the average voter, since it forces him to decide his pref- erences all at once. Critics also say it allows for too much strategic voting. For example, a person could mathematically determine hypothetical rankings of candidates in later rounds and potentially sabotage certain can- didates. Kestenbaum said that while critics often bring up this argument up, it is highly improbable that anyone could play the sys- tem in this way to their advantage. the michigan daily Adorable 2 Bdrm.

This also applies to how you han- dle shared property. Caution. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) In your attempt to please partners and bosses, you could lose your way. If you cannot do both, come clean. Don't prom- ise the world if you can't deliver it. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Because you think fast, talk fast, work fast and move fast, you think you can deliver the impossible. But you put your pants on one leg at a time like everyone else. (Gotta remember this.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be careful about the promises you make to children today. Children believe your promises. They think adults know what they're doing. Don't make a com- mitment you cannot keep. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You have high hopes with close part- nerships lately. Leos like to believe the best about their friends because they refuse to see the faults in their loved ones, especially their children. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) served is no excuse.) Avoid excess. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Don't make grandiose promises to family members, especially parents. For some reason, you're tempted to do this. (You know who you are.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Today (and yesterday) your eyes are bigger than your stomach. It's very easy for you to overextend yourself because you're naturally enthusiastic about everything. Be very careful right now. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Watch your money today. If something looks too good to be true, it is. Don't go out on a limb (you might fall off). AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You have big ideas about travel, pub- lishing and education right now. Try to stay realistic. Wait and see how things look in a few days. You need some time to get a better perspective. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You're ready to give a friend the shirt off your back today. While this is a noble impulse, make sure you have another shirt to wear! Don't bet the farm. YOU BORN TODAY You're cosmo- politan, sophisticated and downright classy.
