The space team-which con- sisted of just 16 individuals-was created in an attempt to land a man on the moon for the first time in history. Both McDivitt and White had military flight training experi- ence, and McDivitt flew 145 com- bat missions in the Korean War, according to the Daily. 40 years ago this week (September 19, 1972): The Ann Arbor City Council amended its CRIME NOTES Gotta go S WHERE: Campus Observa- WH tory WH WHEN: Sunday at about 1:45 6:15 a.m. WH WHAT: A broken bathroom cau door was discovered inside tiles the building, University mcli Police reported.

The council's four Democrats, along with two Human Rights Party members, helped the amendment pass in a 6-5 vote. All five Republicans opposed the amendment and spoke strongly against the measure, fearing it would turnthe city into the "drug capital of the state," according to the Daily. HRP members clarified the law to enable offenders to mail in their $5 fine without having to makea court appearance. The amendment also allowed judges to defer sentencing, a technical move aimed at allowing cases to lapse and the offender to escape having a drug conviction on their criminal record. 20 years ago this week (Sep- tember 17,1992): The University implemented the use of a uniq- name for all campus computing sites, a new system designed to streamline the process for obtain- ing access to campus computers.

The Michigan Daly is a member of The Assocedess and The Associated Collegiate Press Trial of Chinese police chief ''-- --, at center of scandal continues 4 4 Fye Soo an Cho Won-Hyuk, a 24-year-old college student, uses a black eyebrow pencil to lengthen and accentuate his eyebrows at his home Anyang, South Korea on Aug. 26. Use of makeup increasingly popular for . Korean men Wang Lijun charged with corruption, abuse of power CHENGDU, China (AP) - A once-prominent police chief at the center of a divisive political scandal stood trial for a second day Tuesday as Chinese leaders moved closer to resolving a case that has complicated their trans- fer of power to new leaders. The Intermediate Court in the central city of Chengdu resumed the hearing for Wang Lijun focusing on corruption and other charges, and was expected to end the trial later Tuesday. The proceedings unexpectedly opened a day early Monday with an unannounced closed-door hearing that Wang's lawyer said involved state secrets and explored charges of defecting and abuse of power - allega- tions related to his surprise visit to the U.S. consulate in Chengdu in February that triggered the scandal. Police stationed around the courthouse pulled tape across the entrance and blocked and rerouted traffic, in part to deter spectators or people with griev- ances against the government or Wang. Police led away a cou- ple and an older man who tried to speak with foreign report- ers, who were restricted to a sidewalk across from the court entrance. Unidentified men filmed the reporters. The trial was the latest wrin- kle in the bizarre months-long scandal that started with Wang's flight to the consulate, where he divulged that a British business- man found dead in November had been murdered. In the fall- out, Wang's boss, senior politi- cian Bo Xilai, was ousted from the communist leadership, Bo's wife confessed to the murder and the Communist Party lead- ership had to manage the dam- age while trying to negotiate a delicate power handover to a younger generation. Wang's trial clears the way for the leadership to deal with the scandal's stickiest issue: wheth- er to expel Bo from the party and prosecute him. Proof that the damage-control continues to vex Chinese leaders is that they have yet to announce a date for a party congress to install the new leadership, though it is expected in mid- to late October. By using a closed-door hear- ing, authorities could limit leaks about Bo's involvement in the cover-up of the murder of the British businessman Neil Hey- wood, an associate of the Bo family, and about any outbursts by Wang. "Wang Lijun, by walking into the U.S. consulate, showed that he does not play by the book. It was a surprise move to Bo and to the party. He might not be as easy to control," said Dali Yang, director of the University of Chi- cago Center in Beijing. Wang's almost certain con- viction marks the downfall of a prominent, colorful police chief H-M who often skirted the law he made a show of enforcing. A policeman for more than two decades, Wang made a name for himself as a gang-buster in a northeastern province. There he met Bo, then a fast-rising politician who, as the son of a revolutionary veteran, had a web of political contacts. The two rode to national fame together, launching a high-profile sweep against organized crime in Chongqing, an inland megacity where Bo was named party chief in 2007. In magazine cover stories and on television news, Wang was depicted as someone willing to tackle vested interests. Hun- dreds of gangsters, police and officials were prosecuted,'and among the 13 people executed was the head of the city's justice bureau. Behind the headlines, the use of torture to extract confessions and arrests to pres- sure businessmen to steer deals toward Bo and his allies created enemies at the highest levels. HUE :4 Male cosmetics sales expected to top $885 million this year SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - Cho Won-hyuk stands in front of his bedroom mirror and spreads dollops of yellow-brown makeup over his forehead, nose, chin and cheeks until his skin is flawless. Then he goes to work with ablack pencil, highlighting his eyebrows until they're thicker, bolder. "Having a clean, neat face makes you look sophisticated and creates an image that you can handle yourself well," the 24-year-old college student said. "Your appearance matters, so when I wear makeup on special occasions, it makes me more confident." Cho's meticulous efforts to paint the perfect face are not unusual in South Korea. This socially conservative, male-dominated country, with a mandatory two-year mili- tary conscription for men, has become the male makeup capital of the world. South Korean men spent $495.5 million on skincare last year, accounting for nearly 21 percent of global sales, accord- ing to global market research firm Euromonitor International. That makes it the largest market for men's skincare in the world, even though there are only about 19 million men in South Korea. Amorepacific, South Korea's biggest cosmetics company, esti- mates the total sales of men's cos- metics in South Korea this year will be more than $885 million. The metamorphosis of South Korean men from macho to makeup over the last decade or so can be partly explained by fierce competition for jobs, advancement and romance in a society where, as a popular catchphrase puts it, "appearance is power." Women also have a growing expectation that men will take the time and effort to pamper their skin. Evidence of this new direc- tion in South Korean masculin- ity is easy to find. In a crowded Seoul cafe, a young woman takes- some lipstick out of her purse and casually applies it to her male companion's lips as they talk. At an upscale apartment building, a male security guard watches the lobby from behind a layer of makeup. Korean Air holds annual male makeup class- es for its staff at Incheon Inter- national Airport. "I can understand why girls don't like to go outside without makeup - it makes a big differ- ence," said Cho Gil-nam, a tall, stocky 27-year-old insurance fraud investigator in Seoul who starts important days by dab- bing on makeup after finishing his multistep morning cleans- ing and moisturizing routine. He carries a multicolored cosmet- ics pouch so he can touch up in public bathrooms throughout the day. 4 E 1I ;j I 0 .1
