8 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, June 7, 1995 CAR Continued from page 1 safe," Lesley said. The car resembles a race car instead of a typical four-door sedan. "Because it is so aerodynamic and only seats one person, it is not like an ev- eryday car. It is more like a race car or an Indy car in its design and construction," White said. The challenge of the Sunrayce is to complete the 1,150 miles without using a drop offuel. To qualify for the race, the car must be able to complete 50 miles around a closedcourseat an average speed of25miles per hour. The race lasts nine days that average between 70-180 miles a day. The racing begins each morning at 10 a.m. andends at 7 p.m. with a 15-minute mandatory break in the afternoon to change drivers. The car with the lowest cumulative time at the end of the race is the winner. "We are confident we can bring home another Sunrayce championship," White said. Students from the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico will join the race to make it an international event. The solar car racing teamis entirely stu- dent run. Research, design, manufacturing, fund-raising and administration have all been performed by students. "I think it is really interesting that tl. project is done entirely by students. We have done everything from the design to the manufacturing," White said. This solar car team, which is the third team from the University to enter the com- petition, was started in September 1993. The first year of the team was devoted to research and design. Construction on the car began in August 1994. "It is amazing, looking back at the ginning now that the race is almost here, Lesley said. "Even if we don't win it will be something I will always remember." This project is more than just an extra- curricular activity to the participants. "You are doing things because you want to," said Andrew Schrauben, an En- gineering first-year student. The solar car team is working off a $1.2 million budget. The U.S. Department of Energy provided 30 teams with $3,000 seed money and the rest of the budget w raised by students through corporate and private donations. Fifteen students and the faculty ad- viser, will be traveling with the carto In- dianapolis.

On Monday, an Ann Arbor taxi. driver testified that he observed Mitchell walking the streets early Christmas morning. Later, the driver contacted the police, leading to Mitchell's arrest be- cause he resembled a description of a suspect wanted in connection with a purse-snatching attempt the day before. The jurors will also follow the same route the mugging victim traveled from Jackson Road to a house in the 1800. block of Dexter Avenue. Also to be visited are an apartment building in the 800 block of Miller Av- enue where a woman was raped in No- vember 1993 and the 400 block of Longshore Drive where, in October 1993, a University student was knocked unconscious and raped. The Eberwhite Woods victim also tes- tified last week. She does not recall the ac- tual attack, only waking up in the hospital. "There's terror, fright," she said. "I don't go any place by myself anymore." On Thursday, a.University student recounted the details of her being ag tacked and burst into tears on the witness stand. The next day, the mugging victim testified to being allegedly attacked by Mitchell. After the assault, she required eight stitches to her mouth. None of the victims in court could positively name Mitchell as their assail- ant. The prosecution will rely on matches between samples of Mitchell's DNA and semen recovered from the victims. The trial started last week after an e, tensive jury selection process and is ex- pected to continue non-stop for two more weeks. During that time, the jury will be sequestered in a hotel when not in court.
