the study," she wrote in an e-mail
"The initial results are encouraging
since masks and hand hygiene may
be effective for preventing a range
of respiratory illnesses."
Results from the second year are
still being analyzed.
Aiellosaidthe studywas designed
in part to evaluate what effect non-
medical prevention could have in
the case of aflu epidemic.
"Both the World Health Organi-
zation and the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention recognize
that a pandemic of influenza is
likely to occur in the future," Aiello
wrote. "Moreover, they recognize
that vaccines and antiviral medica-
tions may be ineffective and inad-
equately stockpiled."
Robert Winfield, director of the
University Health Service, said
having masks available for Univer-
sity students and employees during
pandemics would be helpful. He
said UHS has 50,000 face masks
stored.
"We will have to look at the
study results and think whether
or not that's an adequate supply,"
Winfield said. "The research infor-
mation hasn't led us to change
anything yet, but if we think the
research is accurate, then we will
want to think more in-depth as to
how many masks we should have."
Researchers studied about 1,400
students in seven residence halls
during the first year and 1,200 stu-

the market, compared to the new,
more restricted licenses, which cost
$20,000.
To qualify for one of the new
licensesa business must have at
least 50 seats and be open five days
a week, for 10 hours a day.
"Now that we have filled Class
C we can go back and reconsider,"
Rapundalo said.
But the city only has about a half
dozen applicants so far for the new
developmentallicensesso far,he said.
"I doubt we will hand out that
many - not in mylifetime," he said.

es has been community concern

really liked what they've been see-
ing. I don'tknowif it's because of the
changeoverto Adidasorifit's because
we're Michigan and Michigan foot-

Dave Hirth, co-owner of M-Den

dents from five residence halls dur-
ingthe second year.
Aiello said participants were
randomly assigned to one of three
study groups: the firstrequired that
students weara face mask, the sec-
ond required that students wear a
face mask and maintain good hand
hygiene, and the third was a control
group that didn't require a mask or
good hygiene.
She said the two experimental
groups were provided with face
masks to wear in their dorms for
a minimum of six hours per day.
Those in the second group were
also given an eight-week supply of
alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Students in the control group
were paid $40 and those in the
experimental groups received $100.
The Centers for Disease Control,
a U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services agency, funded the
M-FLU study, one of eight projects
that are part of the CDC's $5.2 mil-
lion cooperative award for research
of non-pharmaceutical interven-
tions.
The School of Public Health,
University Housing and University
Health Services were involved in
conducting the study.
Lebovic said wearing the face
mask was the most difficult part
of the study. She said she was often
reluctant to wear the mask because
it made it hard to breathe and often
fogged her glasses.
Lebovic said using the hand
sanitizer was easy, and she thinks it
wouldn't be hard for the University
to place it in accessible locations.
about having so many liquor licens-
es in a small college town.
"No one ever envisioned there
would be so many available," Rapun-
dalo said. "Communities are up in
arms and I think legislation is going
to start modifying (the licenses)."
Before the city can begin dis-
tributing the new developmen-
tal licenses, the issue of Class-C
licenses up for grabs must be
resolved.
Subhash Patel, co-owner and
manager of Salsarita's Fresh Can-
tina, a Mexican restaurant on East
Liberty Street, applied more than
a year ago for a Class C license.
Although the city granted the res-
taurant permission to obtain a
license this past August, Patel is still
waiting to hear from the state before
on Main Street, gave a similar
assessment, saying that new head
coach Rich Rodriguez has gotten
people interested in the team.
"Sales are always better when the
team has great success,Iut the addi-
tions of the new coach and the new
Adidas line have made fans very
excited for this fall," Hirth said.
"Sales have'been quite good."
The owner of Great Lakes Team
Apparel on State Street, though, said
his store hasn't been so lucky.

"But I think the face mask would
be too extreme of a measure forjust
normal people getting the flu who
want to protect themselves," she
said.
If participants experienced flu-
like symptoms during the study
- defined as a cough plus a fever,
chills or body aches - they were
sent to UHS.
LSA sophomore Zoya Gavrilman
participated in the group that wore
face masks and used hand sanitizer
during the second year of the study.
When she started feeling sick and
went to UHS, doctors tested her for
influenza by conducting a throat
swab and two nose swabs. Gavril-
man ended up not having the flu,
but was given $25 extra for being
tested. LSA sophomore Trevor
Maat didn't partake in the study,
but said many of his friends inAlice
Lloyd did but didn't fully comply.
"Last year I noticed a lot of
people that participated in it were
doing it just to get paid, and they
would not wear the masks around
the dorm," Maat said. "Parts of the
results may be correct, but consid-
eringthe masks were a basis for the
experiment, I don't think they're
accurate."
Winfield said he was confident the
measures tested would be beneficial
in the case of a major outbreak.
"Inthe event that we have amajor
epidemic of influenza, whether it be
a pandemic that's world wide or a
local epidemic in the Midwest, we
now know that wearing a mask can
make a difference in the spread of
the disease."
their license can become official.
Having a license to serve liquor
is especially important to the Char-
lotte, North Carolina-based chain
because its restaurants usually
boast a full bar.
"It's part of our menu," Patel
said. "It's much easier to get a liquor
license in the South than in the
North."
Although Patel said the liquor
license would bring in more rev-
enue, he acknowledged that it opens
the door to new issues.
"Our biggest challenge is not
serving to minors, making sure we
do the right thing and card every-
one," he said.
Patel said he expects to get the
final seal of approval sometime in
the next few months.
"We seem to be off a little bit,"
said Bob Duerksen, who owns the
shop. "It's definitely due to the
football and the economy."
Winters said he knowsathat lower
consumer spending could translate
to less money for the University.
"We're optimistic that other
things could offset the Steve and
Barry's decline, but we recognize
that these are challengingeconomic
times, so we have to be prepared for
lower royalty numbers," he said.

Biden meets with Cheney,
says he'll reshape VP role

Before taking role,
VP-elect told Obama
he'd be hands on
WASHINGTON (AP) - Vice
President-elect Joe Biden was all
smiles yesterday when he paid
a courtesy call the man he will
succeed, Dick Cheney. But he has
insisted he wants to be nothing
like him.
Biden has called Cheney "the
most dangerous vice president
we've had probably in Ameri-
can history" and said he couldn't
name a single good thing Cheney
had done. But even if he won't
acknowledge any similarities,
there's one way that Biden wants
to be like Cheney - a strong part-
ner in governing the country.
Biden is proving to be a hands-
on No. 2 to President-elect Barack
Obama. He is carving out his own
niche, specializing in foreign
affairs, his area of expertise for
decades in the Senate, and stick-
ing close to Obama.
Past vice presidents have
often been relegated to ceremo-
nial roles, without major input on
daily decisions. But the last two
vice presidents, Cheney and Al
Gore, have been extraordinarily
involved and insisted on private
weekly lunches with their bosses.
Biden has said he told Obama,
before accepting the running
mate slot, that he wouldn't want
FUNDRAISING
From Page 1A
indicators suggest that more than
$3 billion has been raised since
the campaign's start in 2004. Cole-
man said in an interview earlier
this week that the University had
already broken a national record
with its total.
"I've just finished a capital
campaign where I've raised more
money than any public university
in the history of the United States,"
he said.
The University of California at
Los Angeles, which raised $3.06
billion in a similar campaign, cur-
rently holds the record for the
largest fundraising campaign by
a public university. At the end of
June, the University of Michigan
reported that $2.99 billion hadbeen
raised. The Michigan Difference
campaign does not officially end
until Dec. 31.
Coleman said the amount of
money raised surpassed her expec-
tations.

a peripheral assignment like reor-
ganizing government, which Gore
took on, along with other tasks.
In a New Yorker interview last
month, he said he told Obama:""I
don't want to be a vice president
who is not part of the major deci-
sions you make."
Biden himself will have an
experienced aide who can help
his voice be heard in the White
House. He chose former Gore
chief of staff Ron Klain to fill the
same job for him, Democrats said
Thursday.
Biden will certainly have a spe-
"We have been fortunate to have
generous, generous donors to the
University,"Coleman said. "[Itwas]
beyond what I ever believed was
possible in this capital campaign."
Jerry May, vice president for
development, said 99 percent of
the funds raised were allocated by
the donor for specific projects. He
said more than $910 million has
been endowed for almost 2,000
new scholarship funds and 185 new
professorships. Twenty-two cam-
pus construction projects have also
received funding through the cam-
paign.;
Since its inception, more than
364,000 donors have given to the
campaign. May said about three
quarters of the money raised came
from individuals, and of that three
quarters came from alumni.
May said about 15 to 20 percent
of alumni donate to the Univer-
sity during any given year, but that
about 60 percent of alumni donate
at some point in their lifetime.
Looking to the future, Coleman
said the University's 450,000 alum-
ni provide a "silver lining" in an

cial interest in the Iraq war, with
his son scheduled to deploy there
this month.
So far, Biden has been working
closely with Obama. He has been
in almost all the president-elect's
meetings at his new government
office space in Chicago and has
been dispatched to make calls to
several foreign leaders.
Biden has said he'd like touse
his 36 years of experience in the
Senate, including leadership of
the Judiciary and Foreign Rela-
tions committees, to help push
Obama's agenda in Congress.
uncertain economy. She described
alums that don't give as "a target of
opportunity for new'revenue," and
emphasized that staying connected
with recent alums and current stu-
dents will help build relationships
for future giving.
"I think for the times that we're
going into, for us to start letting our
students understand that one way
they can help their alma mater is
to give back when they go out and
have careers because they'll be
helping the next generation of stu-
dents, just like somebody gave for
them," she said:"We always haveto
be looking for the next sort of wave
to catch."
May said that while the Univer-
sity won't be putting fundraising
on the back burner any time soon,
for now he is focused on thanking
those who gave during this cam-
paign
"We will always rely on philan-
thropy at very high levels," he said.
"This is a time to thank the many
generous people and corporations
and foundations for all they've
done and all they continue to do"
