Tuesday, November 7, 1972 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nine Tuesday, November 7, 1972 THE MICHIGAN DAILY _J7 - _ I Sports of The Daily MSU reassures love for Duffy; Buckeyes struggle to narrow win On Marc Sisman . . 0 I ... a sidelined cheerleader By JOHN PAPANEK A CHEERLEADER. It is not what every boy grows up dreaming about becomng. . Boys are the ones who usually want to be the objects of all those cheers: big burly football players or flashy basketball players. Leave all the cheering to those cute giggly girls dancing around the sidelines sing-songing trite little ditties about "the team that's on the beam." That's the rule. The exception is worth noting, for it is precisely what made Marc Sisman want to be a Michigan cheerleader for most of his life. Michigan is a megaversity whose students, to the chagrin of many, have become increasingly serious about their roles in a serious society, and increasingly oblivious to what used to be fun. Long-revered institutions have fallen by the wayside-pep rallies, proms, homecoming, and other lingering traditions of rah-rah madness. In their place are politics, sometime confrontations with what used to be recognized as authority, drugs here and there, and a lot of hassles with the oppresively bureaucratic U. But one thing that has not changed so much throughout those years of enlightenment is the special spirit that creeps into everyone on an autumn Saturday afternoon. Traditions may have died, but still the Wolverines play football and still the people fill the stadium; and most remarkably, still the 10 clean-cut young men in yellow sweaters and white pants do back-flips off the wall for every point the mighty Wolverines rack up. That's what made Marc Sisman want to be one of those 10 men, and he worked long and hard to achieve enough gymnastic skill and talent to be one.I This week, when the Michigan cheerleading squad heads out to Iowa City in their Volkswagen van, they will be leaving Marc in Ann Arbor. The reason is that Marc suffered an accident in practice last week that left him paralyzed from the neck down. "It was a freak accident, really," he says, lying in traction at University Hospital. "It was just a regular workout. We were trying 'something new-we're always trying to introduce some- thing new for each game-and I did a front somersault real fast. "I fell forward and hit my head. I fractured my fifth cervical vertebra and it left me temporarily paralyzed. But it's okay, it's (the feeling in his upper body) coming back." Marc's parents and doctors say it is too soon to tell for sure how complete his recovery will be. But among those who know him one thought is unanimous: Marc is the kind of per- son who will fight awfully hard to get back. "The cheerleaders are just a fantastic bunch of guys," he says "and it's great to be one of them. Sometimes we don't get great receptions from the fans in our own stadium,, we do a lot of fake-outs and sometimes we get booed. We don't care, though, because we know it's all just in fun. "It's not just an ego boost to me, being a cheerleader, I like the feeling that I'm helping-giving something to the people. It's great, meeting people and having them remember you and congratulate you. It's worth everything." Steve Schenthal is the captain of the Michigan cheerleading squad. "This was really a wierd thing," he says. "It's hard for me to say how we felt. All the guys realize there s a risk, but the chances are so slim for this to happen. I mean, it was a stunt that Marc must have done a hundred times." But though he can't explain it either, Marc has managed to keep his head together enough to learn from his experience that there are some things that still haven't changed. "You know," he said, "even this is a happy experience. The people are so great. I've had masses said for me and people praying-it's just beautiful. I want to thank everyone for their good wishes." And at a University with such a diverse range of attitudes, with so many different elements and variables, Marc has some- how reaped the rewards of a lasting revelation. "You know," he says, "you wouldn't think that Michigan is as big a school as it really is." JJJ.

Looking ahead to Novem- ber 25 when they would meet fourth ranked Michigan, the Buck- eyes allowed Gopher freshman Doug Beaudoin to break for a seven-yard scoring run which was followed by a one-yard touchdown plunge by fullback John King. Ohio State rebounded stomping the Gophers 27-19, remaining un- defeated. Harold Henson saved' the Buckeyes, rushing for 131 yards, ramming in for his 14th and 15th touchdowns of the season. The sophomore fullback will be the major concern of the defensive major concern of the 'Wolverines' defense during Thanksgiving week- end. Outstanding freshman tailback Archie Griffin sped 11 yards and quarterback Greg Hare passed 23 yards to tight end Ted Powell for the Buckeye's final touch- downs. The Gophers went back into hi- bernation until the final minutes of play when they mustered a 92- yard surge. The late 14-play drive scored on a six-yard pass, but the Buckeye lead assured a Columbus victory. Wisconsin eased past Iowa 16-14 Saturday with reserve linebacker Dave Schrader slamming Dave Harris down in the end zone for a safety in the last three minutes of play. An Iowa touchdown run by Dave Harris placed the Hawkeyes ahead 7-0 in the first quarter. From this point on the scoring seemed to progress in a see-saw manner. Wisconsin's Rudy Steiner hit re- ceiver Jeff Mack with a 30-yard pass which put the team up on the scoreboard. The determining Bad- ger touchdown came late in the second quarter with Rufus Fer- guson scoring after four consecu- tive carries. Illinois rumbled past Northwes- tern 43-13, in a game that was dominated by the spectacular passing and darting of Illini Mike Wells.

The squad suffered tragedy last week, however, when sophomore Marc Sisman suffered a fractured vertebra in a routine practice. TOLEDO CRUMBLES: Grid iv o bliterate By MIKE LASH The Michigan varsity reserve football team annihilated an out- manned Toledo Rocket reserve squad 40-0 yesterday in Michigan Stadium. The impressive win boosted coach Dennis Brown's squad to a 4-1 season record with only one game remaining. The Wolverines broke open a scoreless deadlock early in the sec- ond quarter when kicking spe- cialist Bob Wood booted a 39-yard field goal that barely cleared the uprights for a 3-0 edge. A little more than six minutes later, Wood just missed on a 38- yard attempt set up by defensive back Mike Holmes' interception and a 25-yard pass play from starting quarterback Joe Beel to Art Fediuk. But seconds later, Michigan had the ball back again when big Kurt Alman, a 6-2 linebacker from Ohio, picked off a Rocket pass at the Toledo 25. On the next play, full- back Mike Strabley broke through a nest of Rocket tacklers at the 20 and sprinted in for touchdown num- ber one. Wood's extra point con- version made it 10-0 with 6:23 showing on the clock.- Although they threatened again in the fading seconds of the half, the Wolverines' drive died at the Rocket six-yard line when time ran out. Then, as if the first half was not enough, Michigan exploded for 16 more points in the third quarter, striking first on a 49{ yard breakaway by Strabley1 that upped the margin to 17-0. Toledo accumulated its biggest drive of the day minutes later,1 moving from its own 25 to the mid- field marker,. but a fumble there snuffed out any further Rocket hopes. The Wolverines responded with another six pointer three plays This Week in, Sports FRIDAY HOCKEY-at Notre Dame WATER POLO-at Indiana, Mid-West Conference Championships SATURDAY FOOTBALL-at Iowa HOCKEY-at Notre Dame RUGBY-Miami of Ohio, at Palmer Field, 1:30 CROSS COUNTRY-at Bowling Green, District Championships WATER POLO-at Indiana, Mid-West Conference Championships SUNDAY VARSITY RESERVE FOOTBALL-at Michigan State Student Basketball tickets will go on sale November 8 and 9 at the Athletic Ticket Office from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The dis- tribution will be as follows: Group 4: Nov. 8: 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Group 3: Nov. 8: from 12:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Group 2: Nov. 9: from 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Group 1: Nov. 9: 12:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Students should come in dur- ing their proper priority times.

The pigskin bounded out of the end- zone, adding but another woe to the visitors' plight. After failing in its next series of downs because of a Toledo fumble recovery, the Wolverines mounted their longest drive ofj the contest. Running back Gordon Bell took in a Rocket punt at his own 20 and returned it 17 yards. From there Michigan drove 63 yards in ten plays with tailback John Carpen- ter capping the drive with a one yard plunge. Wood's conversion put the Wolverines on top 33-0 with only two minutes elapsed in the fourth quarter. Two and a half minutes later, the Wolverines struck again when Al Hayes dove over from the two, culminating a drive set up by Phil Brumbaugh's interception at the 'Michigan 40.

I am the film critic for the Ann Arbor News. I am also the Democratic candidate for Washtenow County Register of Deeds. The Register of Deeds records and legalizes all real estat transactions within the county. These include deeds, land con- tracts, leases, land patents, powers of attorney, mortgages, 'rights of way, oil and gas leases, plats, etc. No one could buy or sell property without establishing praaf of ownership based on records on file in the Register of Deeds' office. The registry is open to the public and to tax assessors. On the basis of current selling prices fur real estate, valuations are updated. Also, it is possible for persons wishing to buy or sell property to establish a current market value based upon recent prices of similar property. The job of Register of Deeds is not a particularly difficult one. The sole qualification for the 'office, according to State sfatutes; is that the "offke holder be d qualified elector, i.e., eligible to vote, and that he win at least one more vote than his opponent in the November general election. I look upon the office, rather, as a focal point for public service. In other words, I look upon it as a base from which to articulate the needs and the desires of the people of Washtenaw County. For example, last'year 1;served on the Democratic City Platform committee. At the. concluding session, I said that the city platform we had written was well and good, but that there was an immediate way to be of benefit to our beleaguered citi- zens. I described the food stamp program in the city. It had been brought to my attention that only one bank in Ann Arbor sold food stamps, and that that bank sold them only on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and not the first week of the month or the last week of the month. I asked the food stamp teller why, and he told me, "We're very busy the first week of the month, and we're very busy the last week of the month, and we're busy on Mondays, and were busy on Fridays." That bank was selling food stamps only six days a month! I wrote a letter to the editor of the Ann Arbor News, and that practice ceased immediately. Now, there are two banks selling food stamps in Ann Arbor and they sell them every day that the banks are open. The office of Register of Deeds was only one floor removed from the food stamp offices, but nothing happened until someone cared enough to write a letter to the editor. If elected, I would continue, to make myself aware of what was going on in the county. Also, my opponent has conceded that there has only been one black hired for the office of Register of Deeds in the last 18 years. I believe 1 could improve upon that record. If elected, I would retain the present personnel, but I would be an equal opportunity employer when vacancies occurred, Furthermore, there is no tract index of property in the county. To lookup a piece of property, you must know either the name of the buyer or the seller. If elected, I would draw up a tract index to make it easier for people to look up specific parcels of property After I announced my intention to be a spokesman for Washtenaw County people with problems, several of my constitu- ents voiced these concerns to me: There are elderly people in Washtenaw County who pay half their income in property taxes. There is a provision for granting an exemption of $1500 in assessed value to senior citizens. The saving on that $1500 is about $125 in property taxes. infinitesi- mal, when you consider how high property taxes are in this area. Also, there is no provision for suspension of payments of property taxes, let alone payment of mortgage installments, for persons unemployed in this third recession year of the Nixon Administration. Unemployed persons in Washtenaw County make up more than ten percent of the population. There are retirees who must work to supplement their meager incomes from Social Security, but they are limited to making $1680 a year. Otherwise, for every $2 they earn, they must aive, up $1 in Social Security benefits. There is no such restriction on the income of elderly people derived from interest and dividends from stocks and bonds. So you see, the rich make out and the poor don't. Some of these. problems cannot be solved at the local level, but must be solved at the Federal level. But, frequently, the politicians in Washington don't know what is going on. They must be prodded at the grass roots level If was Abraham Lincoln who said, "The Federal Govern- ment must do for people what they cannot or will not do for themselves." As a social critic and a man given to searching out parallels and precedents, analogies and anomalies, I find it enigmatic and ironic that, 100; years after Lincoln, for the most part, it is Democrats who espouse the philosophy of the greatest of our Presidents. Instead of uniting a divided nation, like Lincoln did, and caring for te widow nd the orphn, like Lincoln did, Nixon ABA later when wingback Jay Row dashed 35 yards for the score in Utah 124, Car his only carry of the game.
