The Wolverines' post season hopes remained alive with the win. "That keeps us in position now. We play Minnesota and Northwestern. We've still got a chance. We'll certainly get a bid somewhere if we win those two games," Michigan coach Johnny Orr said. MICHIGAN led at halftime by 15 points only to see the lead slowly melt away. With 7:09 remaining in the game, freshman Steve Waite snatched an of- fensive rebound and put the ball through to tie the game at 64. Following a Michigan time-out, junior Tom Norman sank a long jumper at 6:37 to give the Hawkeyes the lead for the only time of the game. The teams were tied five times afterwards, until a Dave Baxter pass deflected off of Tom Bergen's hands to Mike McGee, who hit pn a short jumper. The bucket came with 1:14 left and put Michigan ahead for good. "We got ahdad of them and then we kind of let down. I don't know what we were thinking about, maybe that we were 15 points ahead," said Orr. "IT'S NOT really tough (to lose a lead) when your offense is not clicking. Ours wasn't, and they took advantage of it," Alan Hardy said. "You have a lead, so you're not trying to come back. You don't have that to go for.' The Wolverine letdown became evident right at the start of the second half, as the Hawkeyes outscored Michigan 10-4 in the first three minutes. The momentum had switched enough for Orr to call a time-out. "I was embarrassed and I think the kids were embarrassed with their per-' formance in the first half," Iowa coach Lute Olson said. "At halftime we just appealed to their pride and dignity. I said, 'Don't embarrass yourselves'."

The UMW released a summary of the contract. It included: " An immediate $1 an hour wage in- crease plus a $100 bonus in the first paycheck. The three-year contract promised a $5,500 yearly raise, meaning miners will earn almost $80a day. See MINERS, Page 2 Nursing students discuss federal cuts with Pursell By DAN OBERDORFER While much of Ann Arbor was still sleeping yesterday, a group of 35 or so nursing students discussed proposed drastic cut-backs of federal aid to each of the nation's nursing schools with Congressman Carl Pursell. Under President Carter's proposed federal budget for fiscal year 1979, federal aid to nursing programs would be reduced by 80 per cent from this year's $125,000,000. The proposed budget is still in committee, according to Pursell. AT THE NINE o'clock meeting - one of Pursell's weekly "town hall" meetings - the nurses demanded Pursell work in Washington to restore the budget. "I personally support the restoration," Pursell told the nurses."I am as shocked as you are." Pursell said he had discussed the issue with a few of his colleagues in Washington and thinks there "is tremendous amount of clout for restoration." irrational decision," he said. "In my ten years of public life, I have never known a cut of this magnitude to be carried out in one year. " The cuts eliminate all federally financed lopns and scholar- ships to nursing students. The proposed cuts also end general federal support for the nursing programs entirely. Norma Marshall, the assistant dean of the nursing school claims the budget changes will have "tremendous impact" on the University's undergraduate nursing program.

THE NURSING SCHOOL is looking to the state gover- nment for help in paying those salaries, she added. Ruth Carey, an assistant nursing professor is worried about losing her job. When asked, she said, "I don't have tenure if that's what you mean."

Stop the slaughter!" 75 mar- chers battled the cold yesterday after- noon in Kennedy Square to protest the Canadian government's annual harp seal hunt. The Canadian government allows the 'killing of 180,000 harp seal pups each year. The seal pups are killed for their pels. THE PROTESTERS, representing Greenpeace (an international organization dedicated to helping marine mammals), hope to influence the government to launch a moratorium on the seal slaughter or to reduce the number of permissible killings. Although 500 to 1,000 protesters were expected, John Findley, president of Ann Arbor's Friends of Greenpeace, was pleased with the turnout. "I think we have a lot more supporters than showed up, but considering the weather and mid-term time, I think we did okav." he said. Channel 7's John Kelley, State Sunday " If you're going to the City Council meeting tomorrow night, and want to decipher what's really being said, be prepared to bring the handy translations provided on page 2. Representative Dennis Hertel and Detroit Free Press columnist Tom Hennessey were scheduled to speak, but none of them made it to the protest. ACCORDING TO Findley, Kelly and Hertel were unable to attend due to last minute conflicts, and Hennessey's higher-ups did not want him to get ac- tively involved with the protest. Greenpeace's main objection to the hunt, Findley said, is the commercial use of pelts. Differing reports have failed to determine whether the harp seal may be an endangered species. 64-year-old Mary Cummings, a native of Ann Arbor, carried a hand-painted sign of two seal pups in the rally. She, said she joined Greenpeace because she loves animals and cannot stand to see them killed. "The Canadian gover- nment speaks of killing as a tradition," she said. "I think there should be a bet- ter reason." UNIVERSITY SENIOR Scott Linnell said he is against killing for fashion. "I feel very strongly about what we have on earth. We don't own animals and just because they happen to live in a certain owfor area doesn't let anyone own them," he said. "Canada can't claim the seals as their own. They have no right to decide the destiny of the seals." At the beginning of the rally, Friends of Greenpeace member Jamie Greager read a letter he sent to both the Canadian and Norwegian governmen- ts. "By letting them know we're in- terested, we can accomplish more," he said. Greager and other protesters mar- ched from Kennedy Square to the en- harp s trance of the Canadian Tunnel, carrying signs reading "Death fqr fashions," or "Only fools kill babies" and "Extinction is forever." "IF I COULD, I would love to go on the ice and cQnfront the sealers face-to- face," said protester Cindy Urban._ "The seals aren't going for anything-just fashion for elitist people," said Washtenaw Community College sophomore Mike Berns. "This rally is part of influencing the gover- eals nment.'That's why we held it in Detroit and not Ann Arbor." Last Thursday evening, Friends of Greenpeace showed a "Save the Seals" movie at the UGLI. "Two people from Newfoundland attended the film and came to the front of the room afterward for a debate," said Findley. He said he was pleased with the turnout and said he hoped everyone would participate in the "Save the Whales" campaign which is currently in its planning stage.
