2- The Michigan Daily - Monday, August 3, 1998 LAND Continued from Page 1. Kosteva said therQ are not specific plans for the prop- erty, adding that the athletic department anticipates future spatial needs. Kosteva said once a public entity acquires property, there is no longer property tax paid. "City officials continue to express a concern when the University takes this kind of action," Kosteva said. But Kosteva added that "the University is trying to be as sensitive as possible to this issue." For example, he said officials are undergoing a review of University land holding and evaluating which ones can be returned to private owners. At the recent regents meeting, the board approved the sale of two sin- gle-family houses to private owners, and Kosteva described the transaction as market value returning to property tax rolls. Ann Arbor Assessor Durk Ashley said the University occupies 1,627 acres of property in the city. "Ten percent of the city is U of M property," Ashley said. Ashley estimated the tax value of the land located at 126 E. Hoover at $56,800, 118 Hoover at $40,977 and the vacant three acres at $288,325. University Associate Vice President and Treasurer Norman Herbert said the University has been interested in the land for at least three years. Herbert described the purchase as "a very strategic opportunity." He added that plans for the property are under study. Herbert said the area is in convenient property adjacent to the stadi- um and to athletic operations. Last May, the University purchased three plots of land with houses on them, which are now used for park- ing. Davis said the University allowed people to place bids on the houses to have them moved from the sites. One house located on Maiden Ln. was relocated to Pontiac Trail. She added that there was not enough public notifica- tion to relocate the other two houses in time. A trend at the University is to expand at the edge of campus, which is mostly the older part of the city, Hanna-Davies said. "Our historic property represents the charm of the city," Hanna-Davies said. "However, I appreciate the University is putting property back in tax rolls." Davis said old houses in the city can be moved to another part of Ann Arbor for affordable housing if non- profit organizations can receive the tax credit in time to move the houses. "I am hoping and trusting the University will do what they did so well on Wall St. and Maiden Ln. - to put the property up for bid with a long enough timeline to enable someone to relocate the house," she said. ADS Continued from Page 1 quarter of all traffic deaths, despite rep- resenting only 16 percent of the state's motoring public. "They don't buckle up consistently," said Betty Mercer, MOHSP division director. In another study, the University of Michigan Transportation Institute found that only 66 percent of young male motorists wear safety belts. "Young men, as a group, are inde- pendent, strong-willed, emerging adults," Mercer said. "They engage in a series of risky behaviors. Disobeying the speed limit and failing to buckle up are just two of many." Coincidentally, men in the 16-25- year-old age group have notoriously been the hardest group to reach. "No one has really been successful in reaching this group," said Bill Ludwig, Vice Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of Campbell-Ewald. "They real- ly don't respond positively to any author- itative message. Anything threatening ... (or) any traditional advertising only tums them off." Campbell-Ewald decided to take a new approach, taking away any hint of authoritative pressures. "It's almost anti-advertising," Ludwig said. Both OHSP and Campbell-Ewald know that reactions to the new ads will be mixed. They said they expect a lot of negative criticism, especially from older members of the community. REGENT Continued from Page 1 Knight, police have said. Police had obtained a warrant to search Varner's house Wednesday because two guns registered to her matched the type of weapon used to shoot Knight in the head six times. They have not located either handgun and said On the other hand, Campbel Ewald wanted to make sure that i offensiveness did not do more da age than good. "We took it to AAA, the Closed He Injury Association the EMT associ tion, and other state of Michigan healt and traffic officials, all of which unan mously strongly endorsed this ca paign," Ludwig said. As for the actual 16-25-year-olds t whom the advertisements are directe reactions were mixed. According to Graham, an evening < air radio announcer for 105.1 the edg the new ads come as a refreshing chang "I think these messages deliver strong message without the use of th imagery or the jingles or stuff that woul turn off a typical 16-25-year-old," h said. Graham, himself, is a member the target group. Other members of the target ad ence reacted differently. LSA seni Stacy Tong, upon seeing the advertis ments, expressed her concern or "shock advertising" and its effectiv ness. "These ads are entertaining, but don't think they'll make these driver buckle up," Tong said. "It seems lik they're spending a lot of money o something that they can't reall change." The advertisements will appear al over Michigan on billboards and post within the next few months. In additi a series of spots will be played on radi stations commonly listened to by 16-25 year-olds. they still don't know who shot Knight. Neither woman has yet been named ai a suspect, but police have said they want ed to question them. Knight's attome3 said his client acted nervously before hil death as the two met just hours earlier t prepare for a custody hearing. "I can tell you that his fears w well-founded, obviously, because hi was killed,"' Cavellier said. THE DAILY IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD MEN AND WOMEN TO WRITE NEWS AND HAVE A GOOD TIME.
