LSAT
From page 1
Tamayo, who started to prepare for
0 the LSAT in February, said she isn't
really worried about the changes to
the writing section.
McCloskey said the writing sec-
tion isn't that important because
it isn't graded - meaning a poor
showing on the section probably
won't hurt your chances at getting
into the law school of your dreams.
It's there so admissions officers will
be able to see a writing sample that
represents an applicant's skills bet-
ter than a prepared essay, she said.
Perez-Tamayo said she's wor-
ried about the changes to the
Reading Comprehension section,
though.
There will be a new comparative
reading section, which requires stu-
dents to analyze two short passages.
"It will be hard, not having pre-
vious exams to study from," Perez-
Tamayo said.

FUNDING
From page 1
research funding dollars that come
from sources outside Michigan and
consequently bring more to the
state economy.
"That's what we're asking for
- for the state to have an accu-
rate measure of what we're giving
back," Cunningham said.
She said the University isn't try-
ing to cut itself a bigger slice of the
state appropriations pie.
"We would never propose any-
thing that would work against the
(University's) Flint and Dearborn
campuses," she said. "It's not about
securing more money for us at the
expense of other universities."
The coalition members are
concerned, though, that creat-
ing a separate pot for the funding
of research universities would
increase the financial gap between
schools.
"Ultimately, it might force the

other 12 universities to curtail cer-
tain parts of what they consider
their missions," Roland said.
She said the three research
schools shouldn't be set apart as
the main higher education institu-
tions that benefit the state.
"When you're talking about the
engine that runs the state's econo-
my, that is an educated work force
- and that educated workforce is
coming out of the other 12 universi-
ties," Roland said.
The University of Michigan at
Flint, the University of Michigan
at Dearborn and Northern Michi-
gan University are the only public
universities in the state besides the
three research universities that
haven't joined the coalition.
Northern Michigan spokeswom-
an Cindy Paavola said that univer-
sity's president has decided not
to take a position on the coalition
until actual legislation that would
separate the appropriations system
is complete.

Houdini kin want body exhumed

NEW YORK (AP) - For all
his death-defying stunts, Harry
Houdini couldn't escape the Grim
Reaper: He died on Halloween
1926, apparently from a punch
to the stomach that ruptured his
appendix. -
But rumors that he was mur-
dered have persisted for decades.
Eighty-one years after Houdini's
death in Detroit, his great-neph-
ew wants the escape artist's body
exhumed to determine if enemies
poisoned him for debunking their
bogus claims of contact with the
dead.
"It needs to be looked at,"
George Hardeen told The Asso-
ciated Press. "His death shocked
the entire nation, if not the world.
Now, maybe it's time to take a sec-
ond look."
Houdini's family scheduled a
news conference for Friday to give

details on the plans. Prominent
New York lawyer Joseph Tacopina
is helping clear any legal hurdles to
the exhumation.
A team of top forensic investi-
gators would conduct new tests
on Houdini's body, said Hardeen,
whose grandfather was Houdini's
brother.
The circumstances surround-
ing Houdini's sudden death are as
murky as the rivers where he often
escaped from chains, locks and
wooden boxes.
The generally accepted version
was that Houdini, 52, suffered a
ruptured appendix from a punch in
the stomach, leading to a fatal case
of peritonitis.
However, no autopsy was per-
formed.
When the death certificate was
filed on Nov. 20, 1926, Houdini's
body - brought by train from

Detroit to Manhattan -had already
been buried in Queens, along with
any evidence of a possible death
plot.
Within days, a newspaper head-
line wondered, "Was Houdini Mur-
dered?"
A 2006 biography, "The Secret
Life of Houdini," raised the issue
again and convinced some that he
might have been poisoned, includ-
ing George Hardeen, who lives in
Arizona and is the chief spokes-
man for the president of the Navajo
Nation.
The likeliest murder suspects
were members of a group known
as the Spiritualists.
The magician devoted large
portions of his stage show to
exposing the group's fraudulent
seances. The movement's devotees
included Sherlock Holmes author
Arthur Conan Doyle.

The final two digits are 12.


For Friday, March 23, 2007
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
Ah-ha! Patience paid off. Where yes-
terday you were blocked, today, you see
a light at the end of the tunnel.
Sometimes (not always) it pays to hold
one's tongue.
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
This is an excellent day to promote
your own interests with bosses (or par-
ents). Go after what you want. The gods
are with you now.
GEMINI
(May 21to June 20)
Wonderful opportunities exist today to
expand your world in some way - per-
haps through new experiences, further
education or eventravel to some exciting
place. Grab 'em!
CANCER
(June 21to July 22)
Now you know what to do with con-
fused situations related to inheritances,
shared property, insurance matters or
dealing with the responsibilities for oth-
ers. Good! Trust your gut.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
You're able to work with others quite
well today. Enthusiasm is a contagious
thing. When one party gets excited about
something, the other generally soon fol-
lows.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
You can accomplish a tremendous
amount at work today in large measure
simply because you're enthused or
excited about what you're doing. (That's
always half the battle.)
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
What a flirtatious, playful day! Get out
and enjoy the company of others. Let
romance touch you, even in a small, sly
way. lave fun with friends.

SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Major projects taking place at home
really get an injection of enthusiasm
from somewhere today. You'll get things
done easily; family members will coop-
erate with you. Yay!
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
You can talk anyone into anything
today. Your powers of persuasion are
fabulous (primarily because you believe
in what you are saying)!
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Trust your financial hunches. You
have an uncanny knack to make good
business deals today. If shopping, what-
ever you buy might be expensive, but it
will be a good choice in the long run.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20to Feb. 18)
You feel full of positive energy today.
That's why others are so quick to follow
you or do your bidding. (Nothing suc-
ceeds like the appearance of success.)
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
Today you feel better about life, and
you might not even know why. Actually,
it doesn't matter, does it'? The feeling
you have at the moment is all that
counts.
YOU BORN TODAY You're curious
about everything in life, and you're
philosophical in your observations. This
is why you explore so many different
things and know people from all walks
of life. You want to touch, taste, smell
and feel everything. This is why you're
spontaneous and sometimes impetuous.
Heads up, because the year ahead might
be one of the best years you have ever
had. Dream big!
