is now a mixture of industrial and
suburban buildings as a residential
area friendly to those who choose
not to own a car.
James McMurray, ateam mem-
ber and anurban planningmaster's
student, presented a design where
the Amtrak train station between
the two cities would become a
neighborhood hub surrounded by
retail stores, restaurants and resi-
dential units.
Larissa Larsen, an urban plan-
ning assistant professor and ateam
member, said Michigan should

but this is the way it's going to be
here at Michigan," Beilein said.
"We are going to go to class and we
are going to do things right."
Smith will likely be replaced in
the starting lineup by freshman
Kelvin Grady.
Before Smith was injured,
Beilein hadn't planned on
announcing the suspension until
SCHOLARSHIPS
From page 1
it's difficult to predict how many
students will apply each year. Fac-
ulty members would need outside
assistance to meet demand for
interviews, he said.
One of the suggestions at the
AAAC meeting was to identify the
University's past applicants and
recipients of the various scholar-
ships and ask them to conduct
interviews.
Lehman said the AAAC would
discuss that idea with Univer-
sity Provost Teresa Sullivan in
the next few weeks and hopes to
change the existing system by as
early as next year.
Weir deals with a different set of
issues in her work. She recruits and
helps students apply for the presti-

promote neighborhoods that are
accessible to people with and with-
out cars if it wants to attract house
buyers. She said in an interview
that she hopes that future devel-
opment will become "more about
people and pedestrians and less
about cars and parking lots."
"We have to be thinking about
quality of life issues," she said.
Consumeranalysesindicatethat
more and more consumers want to
buy real estate in neighborhoods
where services are within walking
distance. One study showed that
walkable communities in South-
east Michigan have retained resi-
dents at a higher clip than those
where cars are needed.
In most Michigan cities,
though, commuting to most jobs
is almost impossible without a car.
Troy, located about an hour north-
east of campus, is crosshatched
with straight roads arranged in
neat square miles - a symbol of
Michigan's automobile-centered
the day of the game so Radford
wouldn't have time to plan for
Smith's absence.
"I don't know where it goes
from here because I've never had
a guy, after you suspend him, gets
injured," Beilein said. "Then what
do you do?"
Because Smith wasn't on the
floor when the media came to
Crisler Arena to watch the last
half hour of Michigan's practice,
Beilein thought it would look
strange to announce an academic-
related suspension today.
gious Rhodes, Marshall and Mitch-
ell scholarships, which provide
funding for graduating students to
study in the United Kingdom.
University students tradition-
ally haven't fared as well when
applying for Rhodes and Marshall
scholarships. While University
students have won two Rhodes
scholarships in the last decade,
Harvard University and Yale Uni-
versity routinely win five or more
in a single year.
Weir said she wants to make
sure students who are qualified
for a scholarship are aware of their
opportunities while simultaneous-
ly ensuring that students receive
the attention they need during the
application process.
When it comes to some scholar-
ships, it seems that students aren't
getting the message. Engineer-
ing Prof. Michael Thouless raised
concerns at last week's SACUA

economy and transportation.
"It certainly isn't a sustainable
form of suburban development,"
Larsen said.
While the continued rise in
gas prices and air pollution could
lead some Michiganders to choose
mass transit, McMurray said in an
interview that the transit center's
cost and convenience will also
play a key role in its success. He
said that while walkable develop-
ment has "caught on as sort of an
environmental thing, it's easier to
appeal to people's self-interest."
McMurray said he doesn't think
these types of development will
replace Michigan's traditional car
culture. He said real-estate devel-
opers understand that it doesn't
have to be one way or another.
The development project is part
of an ongoing effort by the city of
Troy to offset the effects of South-
eastMichigan'sdecliningeconomy
and to meet increasing demand for
cheaper transportation.
Instead, a press release with
today's date was handed out yes-
terday detailing the suspension.
"Jerret violated an important
team rule and I felt it was nec-
essary to warrant this course
of action," Beilein said in the
release. "There is a high priority
of academic responsibility at this
university and on this team. Jer-
ret did not meet his obligation to
that."
Smith averaged 5.7 points, 3.4
assists and 2.6 turnovers per game
last season.
meeting about the low number of
students applying for Churchill
scholarships, which allow win-
ners to engage in graduate study
at the University of Cambridge's
Churchill College in England.
Thouless, a graduate of Churchill
College, said he would be willing
to interview students applying for
Churchill scholarships.
Only one University student has
won a Churchill scholarship in the
last decade.
Weir said she seeks out poten-
tial scholars by educating faculty
members about the scholarships
so they can talk to their most tal-
ented students about applying and
by directly contacting students
with a GPA of at least 3.7 through
e-mail and orientations. She said
her department plans to organize
an advertising campaign to inform
students of their scholarship pos-
sibilities this year.

Plan for early primary hits snag

LANSING (AP) - Michigan's
attempt to move near the front of
the pack in the scheduling of presi-
dential primaries hit yet another
snag yesterday.
The Republican-controlled
Michigan Senate approved a bill
aimed at changing state law so a
Jan. 15 presidential primary elec-
tion could clear a legal roadblock.
But not enough Democrats sup-
ported a procedural vote to give
the two-thirds majority needed to
allow the new law to take effect in
time for the election.

Democrats who control the
House don't appear very inter-
ested in resurrecting the early pri-
mary. House Speaker Andy Dillon,
(D-Redford) said after adjourn-
ment Thursday it would be hard to
justify the expense of the election
now that so many Democratic can-
didates have pulled themselves off
the ballot in Michigan.
Yesterday's actions might derail
efforts to change Michigan law to
allow the primary to go forward.
The Legislature could meet Tues-
day, or its leaders could decide to go

ahead with a scheduled two-week
break.
The Senate vote came shortly
after the national Republican
Party announced it will punish
five states, including Michigan, for
scheduling early nominating con-
tests. Michigan will lose half of
their delegates to the national con-
vention, said Mike Duncan, chair-
man of the Republican National
Committee. RNC rules require the
punishment for states that hold
their nominating contests earlier
than Feb. 5.

ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
Today's New Moon is the perfect time
to think about how to improve your debt
situation. Pay your bills. Attleast defray
some of your debt.
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
This is one of the best days all year to
think about how you can improve your
partnerships. (For a good relationship,
you must be as good for your partner as
he or she is for you.)
GEMINI
(May 21to June 20)
What can you do to improve your job
and how you do your job? Similarly,
what can you do to improve your health?
These are excellent questions for today.
CANCER
(June 21to July 22)
It's important to keep a balance
between how much you work and how
much you play. Too much either way is
not ideal. (All work and no play only
make Jack's widow rich.)
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
Because of the New Moon today, this
is the perfect time to think about how
you can improve your relationships with
family members and where you live.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Are you clear in your communication
with others, especially whentalking with
siblings and relatives? Think about this.
Take a moment to listen to your own
way of talking.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
This could be one of the best days all
year for you to take a look at your money
scene. What's coming in? What's going
out? Don't hide your head in the sand.

SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Because this is the only New Moon in
your sign all year, this is an ideal time to
assess the image you project onto others.
Take a look in the mirror.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Some quiet time just by yourselfltoday
will please you. You have things you
need to mull over and think about. Just
do it.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22to Jan. 19)
Talk to friends about your goals and
dreams for the future. Their feedback
might influence you in a totally new
direction. Input from others will be help-
ful.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Are you happy with the general direc-
tion your life is headed? This is a good
day to think about this. What do you
want your life to be like five years from
now?
PISCES
(Feb. 19to March 20)
Are you satisfied with your knowl-
edge of the world? Is there something
more you want to know or some place
you would like to travel?
YOU BORN TODAY You're
extremely persistent. You often get
caught up in the excitement of life
because you do love your earthly pleas-
ures. However, your determined
approach to things allows you to accom-
plish much. You love the joy of discov-
ery. You are a seeker. This is why you
live on the edge. Expect a delightful,
social, fun-loving year ahead!
