ily pragmatic," Bebow said. "I
don'tbelieve alo-centincrease
would deter that many stu-
dents from purchasing a can
of beer."
Some local beer vendors are
not convinced.
Joey Zeer, owner of In and
Out Food Store, said his cus-
tomers are sensitive to the
price of beer.
"If the price of beer increas-
es for any reason, customers
around here aren't going to
want to purchase it because
they're on a budget," he said.
"I get a lot of students who
come in and ask for the cheap-
est beer I sell. It all has the
same effect."
LSA senior Stuart Wag-
ner, who said he buys most
of the alcohol for his house,
said a hike in the beer tax
could change his shopping
habits.
"Ifthepricechangesenough
on the massive amount of beer
that I buy, I'll just buy more
hard liquor instead," he said.
Wagner said he thought
increasing the tax on tobacco
would reap more benefits.
"Cigarettes are more addic-
tive than alcohol," Wagner
said. "People still buy them
even though they are already
taxed so much."
Bebow said an increase
in the beer tax would be fair
because consumers aren't
forced to pay it.
"Students can control how
much beer they drink," he
said. "Would you rather have
the state increase the taxes on
your house, the taxes on the
things you buy or the tax on
beer," he asked.
Gov. Jennifer Granholm
has not said whether a higher
beer tax is part of her plan to
balance the state budget. Gra-
nholmspokeswoman LizBoyd
said yesterday that Granholm
would discuss her financial
plans in her State of the State
address next month.
Bebow said the state should
also consider consolidating
school districts and cutting
spending on state prisons.

port said.
While at the University,
Anatol Rapoport also helped
organizetheUniversity'snow-
defunct Center for Research
on Conflict Resolution.
"He. was very happy at the
U of M," Anthony said. "He
enjoyed his experiences there
and his colleagues."
After serving with the U.S.
Air Force during World War II,
Rapoport felt distressed that
the U.S. immediately entered
the Cold War with the then-
Soviet Union, his son said.
Singer said Rapoport's
distaste for American policy
could have stemmed from
his childhood. He was born
in tsarist Russia and spent
part of his childhood in the
Soviet Union under commu-
nist rule.
"He saw what the Stalin
guys were doingto Russia and
the Russian people," Singer
said.
Singer speculated that he
nayhave seenthe same things
happeningin America.
Anthony Rapoport said his
father was alarmed about the
possibility of nuclear war and
worried that American poli-
tics had grown to depend on
war.
In 1970, he moved his fam-
ily to Canada to pursue a
position as a professor of psy-
chology and mathematics at
the University of Toronto.
"My parents both felt that
they didn't want to keep the
family in the United States,"
Anthony Rapoport said.
Anatol Rapoport was the
first professor of peace and
conflict studies at the Univer-
sity of Toronto.
"He was a serious loss
because we needed him at
Michigan," Singer said. "And
ina sense, we drove him out."
During his lifetime, Rapo-
port integrated the fields of
psychology and mathematics
with his interest in conflict
resolution.
He did extensive work in
game theory, believing that
"the idea of a game was a civi-
lized way of engaging a rival
without a fight," Singer said.
Anthony Rapoport said his
father came up with the idea
of war as a global institution.
"The sides that are oppos-
ing one another are actually
working together," he said.
"The result is that humanity
is threatened and dominated
Friday, January 26, 2007 - 7
by wars."
Singer said contemporary
professors have grown to spe-
cialize in one specific area,
while Rapoport straddled the
lines between mathematics,
biology and the social sci-
ences.
"I considered him a fully
authentic person," Singer
said of his former colleague.
"He was not in showbiz. The
academic world is much the
poorer for the disappearance
of men like Rapoport."
Rapoport is survived by his
wife Gwen, his children Anya,
Alexander and Anthony, and
his two grandchildren, Leo
and Erin.
Ascholarshipfundhasbeen
established in his name at the
Trudeau Centre for Peace and
Conflict Studies at the Univer-
sity of Toronto.

probation in hopes that the
inhabitants would change
their behavior. It didn't seem
to work.
The ICC began to discuss
plans to renovate the co-op
last November and decided to
turn the house into a co-op for
graduate students at its board
meeting on Jan. 14.
Although he acknowledged
that the co-op still needs
improvement, Thompson said
he has done his part to reno-
vate the house and improve its
reputation. Thompson said he
helped get rid of the squatters,
drug users and other undesir-
able residents.
"My focus was to keep order
and get ready for the changes
next year," he said.
The house is being convert-
ed into a co-op for graduate
students because they are an
untapped market for the ICC,
Jones said. There are other co-
ops for graduate students, but
they are all on North Campus.
The change is being made
in order to "attract people who
won't drag down the house,"
said LSA junior Ben Peters, a
Jones House resident.
The ICC will spend
$110,000 on the renovation,
which will include remodeled
bathrooms and new carpet
and flooring. Most of the bed-
rooms will be converted from
doubles to singles, Jones said.
After the changes, the house
will hold 35 people.
The ICC will pay for the
renovations with loans and
refinancing, Jones said.
It will also be given a new
name, which could help it
shed its current reputation,
he said.
The ICC is considering
"Benjamin Franklin House,"
"Jenkins House" and "Shiva
House,"said Michelle O'Brien,
a marketing intern for ICC.
The moat popular name that
has been discussed was "bell
hooks House," named after
feminist theorist and author
bell hooks, O'Brien said.
While the renovated house
will hold primarily gradu-
ate students, one third of the
building will be reserved for
undergraduates
Current Jones House resi-
dents will also have seniority
when applying for placement
in other co-ops around cam-
pus.
Although his lease expires
April 3, Thompson said he
wants- to stay in the house
after the renovation.
"I'd love to live here in the
fall, but I'll have to see how
things go," Thompson said.

Groups head to capital for war protest
By JEFF ZELENY and
CARL HULSE
The New York Times
WASHINGTON - Tens of
thousands of demonstrators
are set to arrive in the capital
this weekend for a major anti-
war march, staging the first
of several protests intended
to persuade the new Demo-
cratic-controlled Congress
to do more than simply speak
against President Bush's Iraq
policy.
Do not look for senators to
be standing among the pro-
testers on the Mall tomorrow.
Despite a consensus building
around a Senate resolution to
oppose sending more troops
to Iraq, even the most liberal
Democratic senators do not
appear eager to align them-
selves with a traditional anti-
war protest.
So the groups organizing
the demonstrations against the
president's strategy are also
carrying out a sophisticated,
well-financed lobbying cam-
paign on Capitol Hill. Their
behind-the-scenes efforts are
intensifying, relying on tactics
usually deployed in a cutthroat
political race.
Americans Against Esca-
lation in Iraq, a coalition of
labor unions, Moveon.org
and other groups that have
traditionally rallied against
wars, has raised $L5 million
since it was formed two weeks
ago. The group is singling out
Republicans and Democrats
who have spoken out against
the war, but who have so far
declined to pledge support for
a resolution denouncing the
plan to increase the number of
troops.
Next week, the group
intends to fly Iraq veterans to
the home states of Republican
senators who serve on the For-
eign Relations Committee and
voted on Wednesday agdinst
the resolution condemningthe
administration plan, including
Sens. Norm Coleman of Min-
nesota and John E. Sununu of
New Hampshire. Television
advertisements are sched-
uled to be shown in some of
the same states in an effort to
apply pressure before the Sen-
ate vote on the resolution in
early February.
"The face of antiwar is not
what it was in the '70s," said
Jon Soltz, a veteran of Iraq and
Afghanistan who is chairman
of a group called VoteVets.
If members of Congress
are slowly finding their
voice opposing the admin-
istration's Iraq plan, aides
to lawmakers say, it is in no
small part because of the
face-to-face lobbying cam-
paign that is a central piece
of the strategy employed by
Americans Against Esca-
lation in Iraq. The group
plans to spend up to $9 mil-
lion, said its spokesman,
Brad Woodhouse, which
they expect to raise through
Internet solicitations and
individual donations.
Soltz and nearly a dozen
other veterans have been
walking the halls of Congress,
and they have had no problems
getting appointments. One
day last week, they held back-
to-back meetings with Sens.
Hillary Rodham Clinton and
Barack Obama, both of whom
are running for president in
2008.
"This battle to oppose the
escalation is as important as
the original battle in Iraq,"
said Jonathan Powers, who
served 14 months in Iraq as a
captain with the lst Armored
Division. He laced up his com-
bat boots and put on a blue suit
as he went to Congress on a
recent day of lobbying.

For Friday, Jan. 26, 2007
ARIES
(March 21to April 19)
This is a lovely day to spend time with
a friend. You feel very empathetic or
sympathetic toward someone; this per-
son feels the same way toward you.
TAURUS
(April 20to May 20)
If you have any influence with some-
one in power, use that influence today to
help those who need some assistance.
You might be able to make a difference
in the lives of others. This is good.
GEMINI
(May 21to June 20)
Your idealism is aroused today.
Because of this, you will want to study
or explore mystical ideas and unusual
philosophies and religions. You want to
know more about something that is hid-
den.
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
You're prepared to share what you
have with someone who is less fortunate.
This is wonderful. It's also good for you,
because what goes around comes
around.
LEO
(July 23 toAug. 22)
You might find it difficult to be frank
or direct with others today. You're
tempted to take a dishonest way out
rather than confront someone with
something. Just do what you can.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
A co-worker might need advice or
emotional support from you today.
Never miss an opportunity to practice a
kindness, no matter how small.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Romantic relationships seem too good
to be true right now. However, for some
of you, the very opposite is happening:
Someone has fallen. off his or her
pedestal. Oh no!
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Domestic conversations or exchanges
with family members can be unusually
frank and honest today. You're not afraid
to reveal your true feelings about some-
thing.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Because your antennas are up today,
you're picking up a lot of unwritten mes-
sages from people. This could create
static in your communications. No
buffers!
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
If you spend money today, you'll
likely buy something quite extravagant
and luxurious. If you can afford it, enjoy
yourselfP
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20to Feb. 18)
Your idealism is aroused. You want to
make the world a better place. You want
to rally others of like minds to correct
some kind of situation. Good luck.
PISCES
(Feb. 19to March 20)
Your intuition is highly evolved today.
You can practically read people's minds.
You're intrigued by whatever is mysteri-
ous and hidden today. You want to dis-
cover secrets! Woo, woo.
YOU BORN TODAY You're confi-
dent and dramatic. You practice the
power of positive thinking. Many of you
are natural leaders. Your faith in yourself
generates respect for you. In turn, you're
fearless about pursuing your own goals.
You might wrap up something you've
been involved with for the past nine
years in order to make room for some-
thing new.
