After purchasing 4 Eleven Lofts on East Washington Street in December, The Dinerstein Companies - three separate companies that build and oper- ate apartment complexes - has plans to revamp the complex to attract more students through updated facilities and new in- house retail businesses. Brian Dinerstein, director of new business development at The Dinerstein Companies, said among minor improvements such as new carpeting, furni- ture and cosmetic upgrades in apartment units, the company plans to update fitness center equipment and add new print- ers and Apple computers to the building's study center. In addition to getting an aes- thetic lift, the building has also been renamed "Sterling 4 Eleven Lofts," in accordance with The Dinerstein Companies's student housing company, called Ster- ling University Housing. The building was previously owned by Joseph Freed and Associates of Chicago, Ill. Lori Chacos, vice president for Joseph Freed and Associates, said while the company may have future opportunities for development, the firm doesn't plan to purchase any other prop- erties for student housing at this time. Dinerstein said one of the company's biggest priorities is filling the empty retail spaces on the ground floor of the building.

A recent University study shows that a person's attractiveness to the opposite sex may depend on how his or her last relationship ended. A November article published inthescientificjournal Evolution- ary Psychology entitled "Rejec- tion Hurts: The Effect of Being Dumped on Subsequent Mating Efforts" describes a study that revealed that men and women are less attracted to potential roman- tic partners who were dumped in their previous relationships. The study also shows that while women were more attracted to men who dumped their last girl- friends, men were less attracted to women who dumped their last boyfriends., Led by Rackham student Christine Stanik, the study examined 198 University stu- dents -102 females and 96 males. The study involved reading fake dating advertisements, with the students rating how much they wanted to date, be in a serious relationship with or have sex with the people in the ads. The subjects first rated their potential partners after reading general information about the person and then again after finding out how the person's last relationship ended.

The expansion of the meters is part of a parking meter replace- ment plan by the Ann Arbor Downtown Development Author- ity and mirrors recent parking measures in other cities. DDA Deputy Director Joseph Morehouse said in an interview in October that each e-park unit, manufactured by Digital Pay- ment Technologies, covers six to 10 spots. The new meters are also solar-powered, as opposed tothe older coin-operated meters, which run on nine-volt batteries. Though each e-park unit costs $10,500, Morehouse said he believes its ability to run on solar energy will actually be "cost effective" for the city in the long run.
