CONSTRUCTION
Continued from page 1
included in the audit.
All building projects over $1 million -
whether they include state funds or not -
are subject to the committee's approval.
The committee unanimously approved
proposals for the $145-million Stephen M.
Ross Business School renovations, the Stu-
dent Activities Building's partially state-
funded $8.5-million renovations and a
revised proposal for the $48-million Solid
State Electronics Lab in the Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science Build-
ing.
While the committee must approve
projects, it does not have the authority to
freeze funding because it does not control
the finances for the projects, according to
Cynthia Wilbanks, the University's vice
president for government relations.
Rather, the committee can delay or deny
the approval of the projects, effectively
halting their progress.
As committee chair, State Sen. Shir-
ley Johnson (R-Royal Oak) has tried to
increase compliance of the oft-ignored law
by asking each university's board to pass a
resolution affirming its commitment to the
law and committee procedure.
Though the University Board of Regents
has not passed such a resolution, University
President Mary Sue Coleman responded to
Johnson's request in a letter affirming the
University's commitment to compliance.
Johnson previously vowed not to review
any proposals from noncompliant schools.
The Legislature's increased oversight
sparked debate on the issue of the Univer-
sity's constitutional autonomy. Critics of
the committee say the resolution is only
symbolic and question the committee's
power to halt construction.
Wilbanks said the University's goal is
to demonstrate that it both recognizes and
respects Johnson's adherence to the legis-
lative process.
The University has "a steady stream of
projects" to pass before the committee in
the future, she said.
Yesterday's meeting went smoothly, said
State Sen. Alan Cropsey (R-DeWitt), a
committee member.
"Nobody wants to see this issue litigat-
ed," Cropsey said. "Its in everybody's best
interest to have a good working relation-
ship."

ate, such as goat, ugale, or corn,
and irio, which is mashed pota-
toes and peas.
Orphans routinely covered
the road with flowers when they
arrived.
"It felt about the same as the
U of M football team (coming
on to the field)," King said.
"Those are the rewards. Those
are the memories."
King's services included
removing teeth with severe
decay, filling teeth and pull-
ing wisdom teeth. He worked
on patients from ages 4 to
23. Some of the orphans still
return to their orphanages at 23
because it is the only home they
have ever known.
The Kings returned to the
United States in 2002 because
of Stephanie King's chronic
asthma and to spend time with
their children and grandchil-
dren.
"It was God's way of telling
us to come home," King said.
It took more than two years
for King to adjust back to life in
the United States, he said.
"Culture shock is coming
here, not going there," King
said. "It was a very simple
life."
After coming home, King
worked full-time for the
Department of Corrections in
Freeland. He performed dental
services for the prison's 1500
adult inmates.
In February 2005, King
returned to an orphanage in
Nairobi for one month and is
planning to return for a month
in 2007. He returns to Africa
for six- to seven-week periods
twice a year.
Today, King is happy to be
home and ready for private
practice.
"It's time to be back in private
practice," he said. "As excited
as I was in 1997 to leave, I'm
now that excited to be back."
CARROLL
Continued from page 1
Arab politician Adnan al-Dulaimi. Her trans-
lator was killed in the attack about 300 yards
from al-Dulaimi's office.
About 12:15 p.m. yesterday in west Baghdad's
Amiriyah neighborhood, Carroll was dropped
near a branch office of the Iraqi Islamic Party.
Carroll walked into the office, carrying a letter
in Arabic from her kidnappers instructing the
party to help her.
She "introduced herself as Jill Carroll ...
and gave us a written letter in Arabic that asked
the Islamic Party help her," Alaa Maki, a party
member, told reporters.
Carroll was then taken by an armored car to
the party's headquarters, where she was inter-
viewed by the party-owned Baghdad Television
and given a copy of the Quran, the Islamic holy
book, that appeared to be covered in gold leaf.
During her captivity, Carroll said, she was
allowed only on one occasion to read a newspaper
and watch television, and was largely unaware of
what was happening in the outside world.
"I was kept in a very good, small safe place,
a safe room, nice furniture," she said, adding
that she was given clothing and plenty of food.
"I was allowed to take showers, go to the bath-
room when I wanted," she said. They "never hit
me, never even threatened to hit me.
"I thought I was not free. It was difficult
because I didn't know what would happen to me,"
she told the Baghdad Television interviewer.
Carroll's face seemed rounder, perhaps
because of months without exercise. The Wash-
ington Post reported her saying that she had
eaten even when she was not hungry rather than
give offense by turning down meals.
Her statement that the captors never threat-
ened her was a marked contrast to earlier vid-
eotapes released by the kidnappers to Arab
television stations.
Carroll wept in a Jan. 30 tape on Al-Jazeera
television, and the voiceover of the video said
she appealed for authorities to free all women
prisoners in Iraq to help win her release.
Ten days later, in a video dated Feb. 2 and
aired by a private Kuwaiti TV channel, Car-
roll spoke in a strong voice, saying she had sent
a letter to prove she was alive and now was
appearing on television for the same purpose.
"I am here. I am fine. Please just do whatever
they want, give them whatever they want as
quickly as possible. There is a very short time.
Please do it fast. That's all."
Her captors, calling themselves the Revenge
Brigades, had demanded the release of all
women detainees in Iraq by Feb. 26 and said
Carroll would be killed if that didn't happen.
David Wellish, a psychologist at the UCLA
School of Medicine, said he had the impression
Carroll was suffering from a psychological trau-
ma known as "Stockholm syndrome," a survival
mechanism in which a hostage begins to empa-
thize with his or her captors.
"Jill Carroll clearly went down the Stock-
holm syndrome spectrum part of the way," he
said, adding he thought it would take her "a few
weeks to get over it and regain perspective."
It was unclear, however, whether Carroll
would have given a different assessment in the
interview yesterday were she not still in Iraqi
hands - albeit the offices of a Sunni political
party.
U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad made
an unusual appearance at yesterday's weekly
American military briefing and told reporters
he learned of Carroll's release about 1 p.m.
"No U.S. person entered into any arrange-
ments with anyone. By U.S. person I mean the
United States mission," Khalilzad said.
He also said there was no connection between
the recent release of several female Iraqi detain-
ees and Carroll's freedom.
"What we did before had no connection with
Jill Carroll," Khalilzad said. "We still have a
few female detainees - four - and that's all I
can say on that."
German authorities have arrested a man who
is accused of trying to extort $2 million from
the Monitor by promising to win Carroll's free-
dom.
The Monitor's editor, Richard Bergenheim,
said no money had been exchanged for Carroll's
release. "We simply know she was dropped off
at the Iraqi Islamic Party headquarters," he
said.
Tariq al-Hashimi, leader of the Iraqi
Islamic Party, also denied knowledge of a
ransom payoff or his party's involvement in
negotiating Carroll's release.
Carroll is the fourth Western hostage to
be freed in eight days. On March 23, U.S.
and British soldiers freed Briton Norman
Kember, 74, and Canadians James Loney,
41, and Harmeet Singh Sooden, 32, from a
house west of Baghdad. But a fourth mem-
ber of the Christian Peacemakers Teams
group held hostage, American Tom Fox, was
killed earlier.
Thirty-nine journalists have been kid-
napped in Iraq since April 2004, when insur-
gents began targeting the press, said Ann
Cooper, the executive director of the New
York-based Committee to Protect Journal-
ists. Six of them were killed.
NIT FINAL
Continued from page 1
stressed Michigan's desperate desire to finish the season
the right way.
The Wolverines (22-11) were well on their way to that
goal, getting hot down the stretch and beating their four
NIT opponents by a combined 47 points to get to the
finals. But South Carolina (23-15) was just as hot. They
were especially scorching in the game's early stages.
"They brought it from the opening tip and had us on our
heels early," Amaker said. "They got out of the box early;
that's one of the things that has helped us a lot this year.
We've had games where we've been after it right away
and things have gone our way early. I thought that's what
happened for them (last night)."
South Carolina's quickness was too much for the Wol-
verines in the game's first five minutes, and the Game-
cocks jumped out to a 10-2 lead.
The deficit reached 10 before Michigan put together a
7-0 run late in the first half to shrink the margin to a very
manageable three points. Then a Brent Petway mistake gave
South Carolina the spark it needed to rekindle its fast start.
The Gamecocks followed a Tarence Kinsey jumper
with a Renaldo Balkman block on Petway. Balkman then
swung his elbows after securing the rebound - the latter
attempt finding Petway's jaw. An outraged Petway then
shoved Balkman to the ground and was charged with an
intentional foul.
The Gamecocks finished the half on a 14-6 run and
went into halftime with a 12-point cushion.
"That was my bad," Petway said. "I need to control
myself better."
But one Pftway shove didn't dictate the outcome of the
game. The Wolverines simply had too many "my bads" to
win a championship game.
It was "their bad" when the onetime leading free-throw
shooter in the nation Daniel Horton missed his first three
free throws en route to a 1-for-4 performance from his
usual home-away-from-home.
It was "their bad" when the other two heads of the
three-headed backcourt monster, juniors Lester Abram
and Dion Harris, combined for just nine points.
And it was "their bad" when Petway sent an alley-oop
dunk attempt into press row.
A final gaffe occurred with 7:31 remaining in the game.
This time the blame rests solely on the shoulders of the
officials. Trailing by 15, Horton attempted yet another
late-game comeback. He pulled up at the top of the key
and stroked a 3-pointer, but Balkman leapt up and tipped
the ball right before it went through the hoop.
A furious Amaker ran onto the court for an explanation
and was immediately given a technical foul, one which he
later said he deserved.
"I was in shock," said Horton, who was named to the
NIT All-Tournament team for the second time in his
career. "It was another instance in this program where we
don't catch a break that we desperately need."
