Along with long waits for machines and the risk of a stranger handling your deli- cates, many students just opt to go home to mom and dad with a full basket of dirty laundry. But if trekking all the way home for a few loads of laundry is too much effort, students can take advantage of several off- campus laundry services. Two local cleaners, Busy- body's Student Laundry and The ClothesLine, offer pick- up and drop-off services at residence halls and off-campus housing for students in a laun- dry jam. Though The Clothes- Line focuses on the Central Campus area, Busybody's picks up laundry on North Campus as well, according to the services' websites. Both services offer semester- long or one-time deals and vary in price based on the weight of the laundry. Pick-up and drop- off times differ based on a cus- tomer's location in Ann Arbor, accordingto the websites. Students looking for a self- serve option outside of resi- dence halls or their off-campus housing have several choices, including Mr. Stadium Coin Laundry & Dry Cleaning on South Industrial Highway or Champions Party Store, Laundromat & Dry Cleaners on South Forest Avenue. Mr. Stadium also has free Wi-Fi, and students 21 years or older can purchase beer and wine at Champions while waiting for their clothes to dry. For clothes that need profes- sional attention, there are vari- ous dry cleaners located near all areas of campus, including Gold Bond Cleaners on May- nard Street, College Cleaners on South University Avenue, Iris Cleaners on South Main Street and One Hour Martinizing at three locations on Packard Street, West StadiumBoulevard and Plymouth Road. -DEVON THORSBY CONTACT INFORMATION Sews Tips news@michigandaily.com letters to the Editor tothedaily@michigandaily.com Arts Section artspage@michigandailycom Sports Section sports@michigandaily.com Classified Sales classified@michigandaily.com Finance finance@michigandaily.com Newsroom offcehos 2-Thns. 11 a..-2m. 734-418-4115 opt 3 Corrections corrections@michigandaily.com PhotographylDepartment photo@michigandaily.com Editorial Page opinion@michigandaly.com Display Sales display@michigandaily.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandailycom Kinesiology freshman Dena Visser does her laundry in West Quad Residence Hall yesterday.

Protesters planned a major escalation, calling for a million people to take to the streets to push Mubarak out of power. More than 10,000 people beat drums, played music and chant- ed slogans in Tahrir Square, which has become ground zero of seven days of protests demand- ing the ouster of the 82-year-old president who has ruled with an authoritarian hand for nearly three decades. With the organizers' calling for a march by one million people today, the vibe in the sprawling plaza - whose name in Arabic means "Liberation" - was inten- sifying with the feeling that the upheaval was nearing a decisive point. "He only needs a push," was one of the most frequent chants, and one leaflet circulated by some protesters said it was time for the military to choose between Mubarak and the peo- ple. The latest gesture by Mubarak aimed at defusing the crisis fell flat. His top ally, the Unit- ed States, roundly rejected his announcement of a new govern- ment yesterday that dropped his interior minister, who heads police forces and was widely denounced by the protesters. The crowds in the streets were equally unimpressed. "It's almost the same govern- ment, as if we are not here, as if we are sheep," sneered one protester, Khaled Bassyouny, a 30-year-old Internet entre- preneur. He said it was time to escalate the marches. "It has to burn. It has to become ugly. We have to take it to the presidential palace." Another concession came later last night, when Vice Presi- dent Omar Suleiman - who was appointed by Mubarak only two days earlier - went on state TV to announce that the president had tasked him to immediately begin dialogue with "political forces" for constitutional and legislative reforms. Suleiman, alongtime Mubarak confidant, did not say what the changes would entail or which groups the government would speak with. Opposition forces have long demanded a lifting of strict restrictions on who is eligible to run for president to allow a real challenge to the rul- ing party, as well as measures to ensure elections are fair. A presi- dential election is scheduled for September. In Washington, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs dis- missed the naming of the new government, saying the situa- tion in Egypt calls for action, not appointments. WINTER RUSH From Page 1 ated with fraternities, like senior houses, are prohibited from giv- ing alcohol to students who are completing the rush process, according to Stepanovic. "No chapter shall serve or pro- vide alcohol to recruits nor allow anyone on behalf of the chapter to provide alcohol to recruits during the recruitment period," the amended bylaw states. LSA sophomore Dylan Handelsman, IFC vice president of internal recruitment, and Ste- panovic said there have been no reported infringements on the ban. Winter recruitment has been particularly important for the University's newer fraterni- ties like Beta Theta Pi, which returned to campus this fall after a four-year hiatus. Phil Fernandez, director of re- establishment for Beta Theta Pi, wrote in an e-mail interview that the fraternity has been recruit- ing steadily all year and has extended its efforts beyond the "sometimes awkward process of formal rush," which Fernandez compared to herding cattle. "In our case, since many of our new members never saw them- selves 'going Greek' before this opportunity, it was important for us to recruit outside of the stan- dard rush parameters," Fernan- dez wrote. But Handelsman said most of the students rushing this semes- ter are friends and acquaintances of current fraternity members as opposed to students with little or no connection to the Greek community - as is often the case with fall recruits. "It's mostly people who already have the connections," Stepanovic said. "Generally the guys know where they're head- ed or have a good idea of where they're headed." School of Music, Theatre & Dance freshman Jordan Golden rushed four or five fraternities this semester before accepting a bid for Sigma Phi Epsilon. He said several of his friends who were in Sig Ep encouraged him to rush but also suggested he tryout other chapters in order to find the right fit. "I saw how much fun all my friends were having, and I want- ed to get involved," Golden said. Two sororities at the Univer- sity also participated in activities outside the University's Panhel- lenic Association formal recruit- ment this semester to gain new members. While Panhel doesn't hold an official winter rush, both Alpha Epsilon Phi and Phi Sigma Rho sororities undertook winter recruitment. The University's chapter of AEPhi opened its doors in fall 2008, and currently has 43 members, according to LSA sophomore Dana Schneider, the University chapter's president. LSA sophomore Jillian Wey- man, AEPhi vice president of recruitment, said the sorority is looking to increase its numbers. "Because we are a growing chapter, and we're working our way back up toward the soror- ity total number, the Panhellenic Association gives us the oppor- tunity to do winter recruitment and the ability to grow during winter," Weyman said. Since the sorority's recruit- ment events are still ongoing, Weyman said she doesn't have a concrete idea of how many women AEPhi will extend bids to this semester. "We're just looking for quality girls, and whether we find five or 100, we're just keeping it open and having a good time with it," she said. Unlike AEPhi, Phi Sigma Rho doesn't participate in the Pan- hellenic Association's formal recruitment process because it's only open to College of Engineer- ing students, according to Engi- neering junior Kelsey Kaplan, president of the University's chapter of Phi SigmaRho. Every year, the sorority holds its own informal rush events in both fall and winter semesters, Kaplan said. She said the soror- ity also depends on its current members to reach out to people they know in order to recruit new women. This semester, the chapter added seven members to its current membership of 38 women. "Since we're so small, we have to do it both semesters to keep our numbers up," Kaplan said.
