Brought together by rare hair

The Weasley family in the
Harry Potter series and the "Gin-
ger Kids" episode in South Park
have given redheads widespread
exposure on the big and small
screens. And one student organi-
zation hopes to continue this pub-
licity of individuals who make up
roughly 2 percent of the United
States population.
The group, called The Red-
Headed League of Michigan,
was established about a year ago
with the aim to promote red-
head awareness on campus. After
spending a semester in a class that
had an unusually high number of
redheaded students, LSA seniors
Bridget Bodnar, Tom Burson and
Kelli Bosak decided to make the

group official.
Bodnar said though the club's
initial founders are all redheads,
the club isn't reserved exclusively
for students with red hair. It is
difficult to say the total number of
members right now because the
door of membership is constantly
revolving, she said.
"I hope that we can continue to
build the number of people who
are involved," Bodnar said.
Bodnar said she and the other
members of the club are looking
forward to their St. Patrick's Day
event today - a sit-in at Wendy's
in the Michigan Union, followed
by a bar crawl.
Aside from being a social
club, The Red-Headed League of

Michigan is involved in volunteer
work around campus that not
only benefits redheads, but also
blondes and brunettes, like hand-
ing out samples of sunscreen to
passing students in Angell Hall.
Bodnar said she hopes the
club continues to grow, but more
importantly, also maintains a
lighthearted and social atmo-
sphere. She said there is always
an implicit acknowledgment
when redheads see each other.
"It's different from many of the
other clubs that you might find on
campus because we want to have
fun. We're not trying to sell any-
thing or go anywhere," she said.

Security Council
aims to prevent
attacks on Libyan
citizens
UNITED NATIONS (AP)
- Supporters of a no-fly zone
over Libya called for a Security
Council vote today on a U.N.
resolution aimed at prevent-
ing Moammar Gadhafi's planes
from conducting aerial attacks
on the Libyan people.
t Britain and France put a draft
resolution that would impose a
no-fly zone in a final form late
yesterday. The text was sent to
capitals overnight and could still
be changed before being put to a

vote in the 15-member council.
China's U.N. Ambassador Li
Baodong, the current council
president, told reporters "we
hope we will have real progress
tomorrow."
Council ambassadors met
behind closed doors to debate
the text for more than eight
hours yesterday, and said they
would return Thursday morn-
ing.
U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice
said the Obama administration
is "fully focused on the urgency
and the gravity of the situation
on the ground, and it's my hope
that we may be in a position to
vote a serious resolution as early
as tomorrow. We're working
very hard toward that end."
"We are interested in a broad
4

range of actions that will effec-
tively protect civilians and
increase the pressure on the
Gadhafi regime to halt the kill-
ing and to allow the Libyan
people to express themselves in
their aspirations for the future
freely and peacefully," she said.
"Those include discussion of a
no-fly zone, but the U.S. view is
that ... a no-fly zone has inherent
limitations in terms of protec-
tion of civilians at immediate
risk."
An Obama administration
official, speaking on condition
of anonymity because council
discussions are private, said
the United States is discussing
a range of other concrete steps
with allies, both at the United
Nations and at NATO.

Rescue teams
continue to search
for missing bodies
NATORI, Japan (AP) - Line
after line, a list on the wall of city
hail reveals the dead. Some are
named. Others are identified only
by a short description.
Female. About 50. Peanuts in
left chest pocket. Large mole.
Seiko watch.
Male. 70-80 years old. Wear-
ing an apron that says "Renta-
com."
One set catches the eye of
Hideki Kano, a man who appears
to be in his 30s.
"I think that's my mom!" he
says. He rushes out into the snow,
headed for a makeshift morgue.
The list in Natori, and others
along Japan's northeast coast,
will only get longer.
Five days after the 9.0-mag-
nitude earthquake and tsunami,
the official death toll is more than
4,300. More than 8,000 people
are still missing, and hundreds of
national and international rescue
teams are looking for them.
In the industrial town of

Kamaishi, 70 British firefighters
in bright orange uniforms clam-
ber over piles of upturned cars to
search a narrow row of pulver-
ized homes. They wear personal
radiation detectors amid fears
of leaks from damaged nuclear
plantsfar to the south.
One woman's body is found
wedged beneath a refrigerator in
a two-story home pushed onto its
side.
"Today and tomorrow there
is still hope that we will find
survivors," says Pete Stevenson,
head of the British rescue crews.
"We'll just keep on carrying out
the searches."
Those seeking loved ones have
posted hopeful notes in tempo-
rary shelters and other public
places. They cover the front win-
dows of Natori City Hall, block-
ing the view inside:
"I'm looking for an old man, 75
years old, please call if you find
him."
"Kento Shibayama is in the
health center in front of the pub-
lic gym."
"To Miyuki Nakayama: Every-
one in your family is OK! We can't
use our mobile phones, so you
can't call us, but we're all here. If

you can come home, please come!
We're praying for you."
City officials have posted a list
of 5,000 people staying at shel-
ters. Yu Sato, 28, snapped photos
of the names.
I'll post them on the Inter-
net so people living far away can
check," he says.
In Otsuchi town, Reiko Miura
conducts her own search.
She's looking for a 50-year-
old nephew who couldn't flee the
tsunami because of a work injury
that had phyiscally disabled him.
His mother - Miura's sister -
asked her to look for her son.
But for the 68-year-old
woman, it is a struggle just to rec-
ognize the neighborhood, now a
sea of mud punctuated by tossed
cars and mounds of debris.
"I'm pretty sure that my family
home is here. It was a big house,"
she says upon reaching a pile
of rubble in a location that feels
familiar. But there's no sign of
her nephew, and she trudges back
across the mud, unsure what to
tell her sister.
The devastation is of such
magnitude that it is hard to imag-
ine some of the communities ever
being rebuilt.
