will host Eastern again next sea-
son.
Since his retirement in Janu-
ary, Carr has largely faded from
the spotlight, granting few inter-
views with the media. Currently
an associate athletic director at
the University of Michigan, he
can sometimes be found taking
walks around Central Campus in
his maize and blue tracksuit.
Associate Athletic Director
Bruce Madej declined to com-
ment when asked about Carr's
part in the Eastern Michigan
coaching search.
"You'd have to talk to Lloyd,"
Madej said in an e-mail message.
Carr, who has an unlisted
telephone number, could not be
reached for comment.
Eastern Michigan athletic
department spokesman Jim
Streeter said he expects Carr
to play a significant role in the
school's hiring process.
"My guess is that he will be
involved in helping create the
pool of candidates we choose
from," said Streeter, adding that
only Gragg and Carr know Carr's
exact responsibilities. "He's
someone, based on who he's
coached against, who can tell
us who we want to go after and
more importantly who we don't
want to go after."
Streeter, who has worked in
Eastern's athletic department
for 35 years, said Carr probably
couldn't have helped with such a
search last year.
"I would think it'd be a little
more unusual, having a sitting head
coach help with something like
that," Streeter said. "It's not unusu-
al for a coach to call a school and
put in a good word for one of his
assistants, but to do anything more
than that isn't normal."

Daily earlier this month that the

a citation for tailgate litter.
"Sometimes people are being
punished for the previous resi-
dents' problems, but that's not
something we can control," Dyer
said. "It's the ordinance."
Keith Williams, a represen-
tative from Metro City Proper-
ties, said the trash code has been
"absolutely a problem" for his
company because it holds proper-
ty owners responsible for tenants'
activities.
"It's very hard to get the indi-
vidual residents to accept respon-
sibilities," he said. "I'm forced to
act as a collection agent for the
city."
Metro City Properties owns
twelve properties near Central
Campus, and has gone to court
three times this year to fight tick-
ets that were written during foot-
ball games.
"The first year we experienced
it, they would literally go by a few
minutes after the game started,
take a picture, write a citation,"
he said. "We've actually had to

ple out on overtime to clean up
during the game times."
LSA senior Katie Wohl said she
was sitting with her roommates
on their porch at 809 E. Universi-
ty Ave. after a home football game
when someone started to clean
their yard for them.
"They said they were doing
it because the city was cracking
down on violations and they didn't
want to get a fine," she said.
Wohl echoed the concerns of
many students who, tailgating or
not, have their yards turned into
trash receptacles by half-drunk
passersby.
"The street is so busy," she said.
"People just walk by and throw
stuff."
Problem areas like Church
Street and East University and
Oakland Avenues are almostguar-

standards protocol: if one messy
house is called in or noticed by an
officer, that officer is required to
patrol the entire block and ticket
accordingly.
"Most of our notices and tick-
ets are complaint-driven," Dyer
said. "So if you neighbors are pigs,
we're going to be around a lot,
too."

expensive for the hospital.
The layoffs will be the Health
System's first since 1996, when
200 employees were fired and
another 386 employees were
transferred to new positions
within the Health System or the
University.
Standards received 202 calls
about garbage. In August there
were 187.
Officers usually issue warn-
ings to first-time offenders, so
residents who clean within 24
hours can avoid a fine. It's dur-
ing football games that things get
busier, procedure gets more strin-
gent and officers need to skip the
warning step.
"A lot of the problem is that
the stuff ends up in the street, or
these parties start spilling in the
sidewalk and the street," she said.
"Then it becomes a city problem."
While on patrol last Thursday,
Dyer drove down McKinley Ave-
nue to follow up on a warning she
had given the Saturday before.
Spotting two snow-covered mat-
tresses still propped up against
a tree, she reached for citation
forms.
Judging from her four years on
the job, Dyer said many students
don't clean up after themselves -
even if given a warning.
"I tell people, if you didn't have
time to clean it up, or you needed
an extension, you should have
called the phone number," she
said, pointing to the number for
Community Standards at the top
of a warning ticket. "I can't help
you if you can't help yourself."

dependence on the faltering auto-
makers.
"If you dialed back 15 or 20 years
then you'd see that the Big Three
were clearly the dominant contribu-
tors to the University in terms of
charitable giving," Porter said. "But
that mix has changed pretty fun-
damentally in the last decade and a
half or so."
Trimmed back and reshaped,
University stock holdings in the
Detroit Three have declined along
with the companies' donations in
recent years.
From 2002 to 2007, the Univer-
sity's endowment investment in GM
plummeted. In 2002, it held 106,600
shares of GM stock, valued at $53.45
a share. Five years later, University
holdings inDetroit'slargestautomak-
er dropped to 18,500 shares at $37.80
each in 2007. As of Tuesday's closing
bell, shares of the struggling auto-
maker were trading at $3.56 each.
The University's endowment
investment in Chrysler, now the
only privately-owned company of
the Detroit trio, hit a five-year high
in 2007 - both in the number of
shares owned and the total value
of the investment - with 42,750
shares worth over $3.9 million. In
2003, 22,200 shares of Chrysler
worth $769,000 were part of the
University's overall endowment
investment mix.
Between 1998 and 2007, Chrysler

of Auburn Hills. He said it is espe-
cially important for students to pack
Crisler Arena for the team's most
crucial games.
"I think students need to come to
the games, especially the Duke, Ohio
State and Michigan State games,"
Kazan said. "I think people are more
excited about basketball now."
Despite heightened student inter-
est in the team, student season tick-

week before the UCLA game - sea-
son tickets are no longer sold.
Bodnar said that the Athletic
Department will not start sell-
ing season tickets after the UCLA
game, because the season ticket
package would include games that
have already been played. However,
students can attend the season's
remaining games for free by show-
ing their MCard, with the exception
of the Michigan State, Duke and
Ohio State games.
This policy has disappointed
some fans.
"I don't have season tickets," LSA
freshman Tom Stuckey said. "But
after UCLA, I kind of wanted to,
because I became excited that after
a depressing football season, we
have a team that can win."
The increased student support
for the team came on the heels of a
lethargic season ticket selling peri-
od for the Athletic Department.
Season tickets are at down this
year, with only 480 total student sea-
sonticketssold-anoticeabledecline
from previous years, when numbers
reached into the thousands.
At the peak of student interest in
theteam, afteritsFinalFourappear-
ance in 1993, 4,100 fans applied for
the 3,100 seasontickets available.
But for some students, a big vic-
tory for the team does not neces-
sarily mean they will shell out for
season tickets.
"It's not a matter of how much
I like to watch basketball. It just
doesn't pay off to have season tick-
ets when I can only go to a handful
of the games," LSA freshman Alan
Sedghi said.
