South Korea to obtain
longer-distance missiles
Agreement with U.S.
likely to upset
N. Korean officials
SEOUL, South Korea (AP)
- South Korea will be able to
possess longer-range missiles
capable of hitting all of North
Korea under a new agreement
with the United States that is
likely to draw an angry response
from the North.
Under a previous 2001 accord
with Washington, South Korea
had been barred from deploying
ballistic missiles with a range of
more than 300 kilometers (186
miles) and a payload of more than
500 kilograms (1,100 pounds)
because of concerns about a
regional arms race.
The restriction has made South
Korea's missile capability inferior
to that of rival North Korea, and
some key militaryinstallations in
the North have been out of South
Korea's missile range.
South Korea announced
Sunday that the U.S. accord has
been altered to allow the South
to have ballistic missiles with
a range of up to 800 kilometers
(500 miles) to better cope with
North Korea's nuclear and missile
threats.
Under the new agreement,
South Korea will continue
to limit the payload to 500
kilograms for ballistic missiles
with an 800-kilometer range,
but it will be able to use
heavier payloads for missiles
with shorter ranges, senior
presidential official Chun Yung-
woo told a news conference. The
heavier a payload is, the more
destructive power it can have.
"The most important
objective for our government in
revising the missile guideline is
to contain North Korea's armed
provocation," Chun said.
The Defense Ministry said in
a statement that it will greatly
increase its missile capability
under the new accord, adding
that South Korea will be able to
"strike all of North Korea, even
from southern areas."
President Barack Obama's
press secretary Jay Carney,
speaking to reporters traveling
with Obama to California on
Sunday, said "The revisions are
of prudent, proportional and
specific response" to North
Korea). He said they came out
of ongoing regular consultations
with South Korea on the threat
from the North.

Faith Medical Clinic with her hus-
band Mitch, said the partnership
has developed to be mutually ben-
eficial.
"It really is a win-win situation
because for the students they're
going to get hands on experience
and for the people who have no
medical insurance are going to get
some of the best medical attention
in the world," Goldman said.
In addition to serving unin-
sured individuals in rural
Michigan, the clinic also offers
invaluable experience for medi-
cal students, according to Medi-.
cal School student Natalie
' Hoffmann, a student director for
the clinic.
"There's a peer education
component as well, in addition
to the student-physician com-
ponent," Hoffmann said. "The
point of having first and second
year medical students is to give
them experience with the hos-
pital process before they go into
the hospital. There was student
interest in getting more patient
contact up front before their
third year."
Medical student Moham-
ad Issa, a student director of
the clinic, said the center has

. "Let's face it. There are only
two bookstores left in town,"
he said. "It's a sad commentary
on a town like Ann Arbor ... so,
yeah, it's obligatory for us to be
involved."
Though Michigan may be
home to some of the nation's best
writers and non-profit writing
organizations, the dismal econ-
omy has given Michigan a "bad
rep" in the past few years, accord-
ing to Jeremiah Chamberlin,
associate director of the English
department's writing program.
This overshadows much of the
state's achievements in creative
writing, Chamberlin said.
Citing Detroit's shrinking
population as a major topic of
national conversation regarding
Michigan, Chamberlain said he
aims to remind people of Michi-
gan's storied literary past, and
present. To do that, the list of
speakers began earlier in the day
with writers just starting out and
1 culminated with masters of the
craft.
"You've got people at the start
of their career to people at the
peak of their career," Chamberlin
said.

undergone major changes since
the implementation of the free
primary care services. He spe-
cifically noted that the appoint-
ment-only Faith Medical Clinic
has begun to accept new unin-
sured patients since medical stu-
dents became involved, and they
have been able to decrease wait-
ing times.
Issa said that in the pilot
phase, students saw patients
every other week, at an aver-
age of about 6 to 8 patients, and
once fully launched will be able
to take up to 15 patients at a time.
All medical students working
in the clinic are there on their
own volition. Volunteer medical
students conduct an interview
with patients and take vitals
before the physician consults on
the case, and students are com-
pletely in charge of the clinic's
administration.
Issa said the experience has
served as a reminder that prac-
ticing medicine transcends sci-
ence, and is critical in fostering
human relationships.
"Speaking on a personal level,
this has been one of the most
influential things that I've been
involved in as a student," Issa
said. "We go into medicine for
the sciences, but also for the
humanitarian aspect ... This
serves to remind me and as an
opportunity to remind alot of my
classmates why we go into medi-
cine and why we do what we do."
The Student-Run Free Clinic
is looking to expand its services
beyond primary health services
for the uninsured Conjeevaram
said. He noted that the clinic
specifically hopes to integrate
women's health services, includ-
ing pap smears and mammogra-
phy, as well as colonoscopies and
dental hygiene.
"We're trying to go beyond the
just usual care we provide when
they come in, we are very much
interested in health prevention,"
Conjeevaram said. "
Administrators have also
expressed that they want the
center to become more of a long-
term primary care facility, but
Williams said he is proud of the
progress and success thus far of
an idea that was conceived just
two years ago by five medical
students.
"We hope to make a long term
presence in the Pinckney com-
munity and to put down roots
here through the student-run
free clinic," Williams said. "Then
we'll just see what spins off over
time."

to the Rose Bowl."
To avoid that loss, the rules
are different this year. The
Wolverines' offense just needs
to be smart. On Saturday, offen-
sive coordinator Al Borges let
Denard be Denard. Gone were
the wild throws downfield. They
were replaced by a heavier dose
of run and rendered moot by a
few throw aways. Gone, too, was
the constant pressure that foes
such as Notre Dame and Ala-
bama had created.
See, in this conference, offenses
don't need to be as flashy. Here
an offense that limits mistakes
and a defense that attacks can
wait for something good to hap-
pen.
On Saturday, it happened three
times.
The first gift was a ball tipped
off a Purdue receiver's hands
and into those of sophomore
cornerback Raymon Taylor.
Taylor sped 63 yards the other
way for Michigan's third score,
a touchdown so easy that it was
a something "I could've done,"
joked Michigan coach Brady
Hoke.
The second gift, again unforced
but pounced upon by an aggres-
sive Michigan defense, was on
the ensuing kickoff. Purdue
returner Akeem Hunt just
dropped the ball, and sopho-
more cornerback Delonte Hol-
lowell just scooped it up.
The drive stalled when redshirt
junior kicker Brendan Gibbons
missed a 44-yarder into the
wind. Two weeks ago, in a hos-
tile Notre Dame stadium, Gib-
bons's miss would be crippling.
But here, it was a blip. It didn't
matter. Michigan already led by
three touchdowns.
In the fourth quarter, another
interception fell from the sky
like a leftover raindrop from
last night's showers. Again, it
was a ball tipped off a receiver.
This time, redshirt junior safety
Thomas Gordon was there.
By then, the Wolverines led by
three scores with nine minutes
left, and Michigan had locked
up a victory against one of the
Big Ten's better opponents. It's
a conference as wide-open and
ordinary as ever.
On a day when Michigan State,
the Wolverines' likely chal-
lenger for the Legends' Division
title, eked out a victory over
lowly Indiana, Michigan ran off
the field fresh.
Freshman Dennis Norfleet ran
off singing to himself. Senior
defensive end Craig Roh jogged
off and laughed with a team-
mate. Athletic Director Dave
Brandon ran off with a grin,
then pointed at someone and
pumped his fist.
Afterward, howls filled the
musty air outside the Michigan
locker room. The victory yells
and off-pitch singing echoed
toward the podium where
Brady Hoke was speaking.
"There's a lot of noise back
there," the Michigan coach
said.
The victory's cries were jarring
and new and beautiful. Sounds
like Big Ten football.

Among other events, a panel
on the future of literary journal-
ism included four journalists and
authors who discussed the direc-
tion journalism is headed in and
how to seek out opportunities to
further journalism.
"I enjoyed hearing about how
journalism is changing and about
their work," said LSA Junior
Michael Nevitt. "About the dif-
ferent opportunities in the field
that these authors have been able
to pursue."
Though the event lasted for its
scheduled hour, Nevitt said there
was a lot more to discuss.
"There should have been
something where prospective
journalists and people interest-
ed in the field would go to hear
information," he said. "It turned
into the writers and the authors
talking up their work. It's rel-
evant, but it took over too much
of the time."
Despite the desire for more,
the panel was insightful and gar-
occur on University property.,
Therefore, the case has been
transferred to the Ann Arbor
Police Department for further
nered a large crowd, with people
taking notes and jotting down
thoughts, Nevitt said.
The main attraction, the key-
note discussion with Baxter and
Levine, was more of a conversa-
tion in which the two authors
discussed their lives and futures.
"I really became a writer in
many ways by hearing Charlie
Baxter read when I was 15 in
high school," Chamberlin said of
the conversation. "I had a trans-
portive experience listening to
him read, I thought to myself,
'Wow, I want to be a writer, and
I want to go to school wherever
he's teaching.'"
Despite the packed auditori-
um, the two managed to execute
their conversation well, telling
jokes and anecdotes that left
the crowd feeling like they've
witnessed a sincere discussion
between friends, Chamberlin
said.
Dwayne Hayes, managing
editor of the literary journal
"Absinthe," said the State of the
Book was as much about celebrat-
ing the literature being published
as it is about raising awareness.
Hayes said that people in Michi-
gan are unaware of the impact
Michigan literature has on the
rest of the country.
"Writers across the U.S. know
what's going on in Michigan
(with writing)," Hayes added.
"For me, this was about celebrat-
ing the diversity of publishing in
this state."

Ann Arbor police said they
had no further information to
