Michigan, undefeated and ranked in the stratosphere, is humbled by a group of angry young men who are sick and tired of their role as sacrifical lambs to the cause of Wolverine football. Two years ago, Purdue did it in the ninth game. Last year, it was Mm- nesota in the seventh game. Yesterday, in the fifth game of another year of high expectations, the Spartans of Michigan State came to town and dazzled Michigan with an incredible offensive display that led them to a 24-15 upset victory. THE SPARTANS did most of fheir damage in the first half, moving the ball at will while piling up a 17-0 lead. On the sidelines, coach Darryl Rogers called a masterful half, mixing Eddie Smith's aerial talents with a surprising running game that consumed Wolverine-like chunks of yardage up the middle. On the field, Smith and his cohorts played virtually mistake-free football. The Spartans had the ball seven times -- and seven times they drove it into Michigan territory. Then ran 48 plays, Michigan ran 21; they moved the ball an amazing 307 yards, Michigan moved 132; and they accounted for 16 first downs while Michigan made just six. All the Wolverines could muster of- fensively in that first half was an un- successful field goal try that bounced off the crossbar, and three intercep- MIN tions in six passing attempts by Rick ses Leach. ept THEN, WHEN Leach finally started finding receivers with the right colored jersey in the second half and the Wolverines started coming back, the defense couldn't come up with the big play-the fumble recovery, the inter- ception, the sack-that wouldthave tur- nedthe game around. Nfichigan never came closer than the final score. "This is the first time in ten years that our defense just let us down," lamented Bo Schembechler after the game. "They just didn't rise to the oc- casion." Schembechler was too disappointed with his team's performance to say much about MSU's offense, but he ad- mitted he'd never seen the ball moved against Michigan like it was yesterday. "I don't know how many yards they got against us," Schembechler said, "but it must have been about 1000." Not quite. But the Spartans did gain 496 yards on offense. Surprisingly, they ran as well as they passed-exactly: See HOLY, Page 12 State's5 Smt rid dles defense By HENRY ENGELHARDT For the Spartans, who are on NCAA probation preventing them from going to a bowl game, it was the World Series and Super Bowl combined. And they won it. Eddie Smith, MSU quarterback who was 13 years old when State last beat Michigan in 1969 called it: "The greatest victory of my life. It was a complete victory for Smith and his mates. The well-coached senior and his offense completely dominated Michigan's defense, did not turn the ball over and Smith completed a who.! bunch of passes (20). "THAT'S THE difference, the third- down plays by Smith," analyzed Bo Schembechler. "He made them." The native Floridian fed his talented receivers the ball time and time again as State strutted down the field. p "Going in, we thought we had a pretty good package," said Michigan defen- sive coordinator Bill McCartney of his defense. But Smith may have changed that. See SMITH'S, Page 12 Daily Photo by BRAD BENJAA MICHIGAN STATE TIGHT end Mark Brammer is run out of bounds by Michigan Statlium yesterday afternoon. Brammer was on the receiving end of seven pas defensive back Mike Jolly, but not before he picked up valuable yardage en route from Spartan quarterback Ed Smith, who directed a balanced attack that k to one of three Spartan touchdowns and a 24-15 upset of the Wolverines in Michigan the Wolverines far behind for a good portion of the game. SCHOOL FUNDING QUESTIONED Voucher lan sparKS oppositior By ELISA ISAACSON Although probably the least publicized tax amendment on the November ballot, the Voucher Proposal has caused enough stir to prompt more organized opposition than either the Tisch or Headlee amendments. The Michigan Council About Parochiad (CAP), a group of educational and religious groups organized several years ago to fight the passage of "parochiad legislation," is directing a state-wide fight against the plan. By comparison, opponents of the Tisch and Headlee amendments, though numerous, are not as strongly organized. The local chapter of the CAP has been writing letters, making phone calls, and distributing leaflets at football games to urge voters to reject the proposition. "THE MOST important thing, in these days of Proposition 13, is that the voucher proposal won't save people money at all," said Washtenaw CAP co- chairperson Harvey Bertcher. "Our essential thrust is to get the word out and explain what this plan is. . . and the voters will realize it is not a good plan." The proposed amendment, which was placed on the ballot by Citizens for More Sensible Financing of Education, would prohibit the use of property taxes to support public schools. Instead, the plan would require the state to devise another method of funding education. The plan states that parents be provided with "vouchers" to send their children to the school of their choice. The vouchers, would be turned over to the schools, which would return them to the state for reimbursement. The new method of financing education, according to both opponents and supporters of the plan, would probably be an income tax hike. DAN VELDMAN, executive director of the Campaign for Proposal H, said he feels income taxes are "more fair" than property taxes.. "We're talking a tax trade-off, not a tax increase or a tax decrease," Veld- man said. According to the campaign director, $1.8 billion worth of property taxes are now used to fund the state schools from kindergarten to the twelfth grade. Veldman 'proposes a 2.3 per cent in- crease in income taxes, bringing the flat rate up to 6.9 per cent, and a 1.7 per cent hike in single business taxes, raising that rate to 4 per cent. VELDMAN ALSO said with the "noonrfi of thn r rnr nenl fhn cfnfn c:Tnl passage 01 ot proposati ue state wouid no longer have to give property tax rebates, thus saving $200 million each year. The steeper income and single business taxes, coupled with the savings from the rebates, would provide the state with the $1.8 billion needed to supply vouchers, Veldman claimed.

After a special Mass in St. Peter's Basilica, where the princes of the chur- ch prayed for guidance in selecting a successor to Pope John Paul I, the elec- tors filed through the carved wooden doors of the Sistine Chapel as a choir sang "Veni Creator" - "Come God Creator." CLAD IN RED robes and skullcaps, the cardinals took their places at the long wooden' tables in the Sistine Chapel. They were followed by a staff of 88 priests, nuns, doctors, cooks, and technicians. The technicians will check the voting hall for electronic bugging devices. The staff was locked inside for the duration, but they were barred from the chapel during voting sessions. Once all 199 were inside, the master of ceremonies, Monsignor Virgilio Noe, cleared the hall of outsiders, declaring in Latin "Extra omnes" - "Everybody out." Vatican observers expect a speedy outcome. No conclave of cardinals this century has lasted more than four days, and in the cardinals' August conclave Pope John Paul was elected on the first day of balloting. He died just 33 days later, Sept. 28.

" The World Series is now tied By MITCH CANTOR Charles Allmand has assumed the post of new acting director of the University's Affirmative Action Programs following his appointment by President Robben Fleming Thursday. Allmand will continue to hold his position as assistant to the Vice- President for Academic Affairs Harold Shapiro. He is replacing -eagelia Pena, who became the acting director of the Affirmative Action Programs af- the change was Pena's heavy workload. "Deagelia has been trying to do the associate director's and the director's job. To continue to do both jobs was too much," Fleming said. ACCORDING TO the president, Pena's position as associate director involves substantial statistical work, making it difficult for one person to hold down both positions. Allmand, 53, said he hopes the office can meet all its obligations to the University and the community. K
