Like everyplace else,,theater-goers continue to cram local cinemas for a two-hour trip into the make-believe wporld of Luke Skywalker and his friends - a world where good and evil are easily discerned, and the good guys always win. BUT THE GOOD guys aren't the only folks who come out ahead in the swirling success of Star Wars - "The Year's Best Movie" according to the discriminating critics at Time Magazine. The flick's popularity has brought a windfall for the merchants who have capitalized on a universe of Star War trinkets - everything from Star-bucks! The selling o f 'Star Wars' Glenn Berry, a clerkat Recordland in Briarwood, said, "Being next door to the movies, our 'Star Wars' records sell quite well." Other mer- chants in the area reported similar profit-taking, although the futuristic fairy tale of a film has been playing in town for more than three months. BERRY SAIy he sells 25 to 30 recordings of the original soundtrack each week. He said another record has muscled in on the business. Ap- propriately enough, it is a disco ver- sion entitled, "Star Wars and other Galactic Funk." Then there's the illustrated book of sheet music at the Music Mart. That store reported business for the book has been brisk :it has sold out at least once), even among non-musicians. "One guy bought it because he See STAR, Page 5 sheet music to tinny little robots to posters from Burger King. It is, in the most grandiose style of American capitalism, the selling of Star Wars, one, two, three. Nowhere do the galactic green- backs turn over more furiously than at Briarwood Mall - where students and families alike can watch the movie in sparkling, box-like theaters and later peruse the Star Warslpara- phernalia sumptuously flaunted by a number of trendy, dollar-wise shops. JIM CLOSE, a ticket seller at "The Movies" in Briarwood, where the film is showing simultaneously in two of four theaters, said some people have seen Star Wars there four times. One devout fanatic, he noted, has bought tickets on forty occasions. "It's a good clean movie that anyone can go and see," said Close. "It appeals to everybody." "The Movies" began to show Star Wars last June 15 in one theater, but later opened a second because of the overwhelming response, according to manager Lori Heilman. HEILMAN has lost count of the enthusiasts who have filed through the turnstiles, but said the recent one-week sale of 5,260 tickets is about average. Business has only now started to slacken, she said. Just after the futuristic fairy tale of a movie debuted nationally, trinkets, T-shirts, and recordings of the theme song glutted the market. FROM THE BEGINNING: Blue sty Fans spread cheers in A42 By DENISE FOX A second year. medical student, who admits he is usually mild mannered, threw all lab mannerisms aside yesterday afternoon. Joining the other 100 thousand beer guzzling, hand-clapping Michigan patriots, Fred Vanalstine hooted, howled, and hollered the Wolverines on to victory in their first home game. BETWEEN CHEERS OR SHOUTS, such as "Duke recruits their players from Huron High," Vanalstine explained, "I come to football games for fun. They give people a chance to be juvenile. There's a lot of old kids here." Marty Mager, a recent University graduate explained, "I came 270 miles from Charlevoix to see the game. I'll continue to come as long as I can afford it." Mager's friend, Randy Hoffman, a senior in aerospace engineering added parenthetically, "His middle name is spectator." Then there are those who come for more nostalgic reasons, such as Gerald Barjer, a graduate of the class of '36. "This is the first game I've been back for in 40 years and I'm really excited about it," Barjer'said. "I saw them in the Rose Bowl last year, but it's not the same as watching Michigan in Michigan stadium." BARJER REMINISCED about his student days. "When I went here we didn't get 100,000 fans for the whole season, now you get that many in one game;" he said. On the other end of the spectrum were those setting foot in Michigan Stadium for the first time. "I've been looking forward to it all year," said freshman Dave Pront. "We're going to win'by a thousand." And then there are always those who never quite manage to stay alert during the game. Tom Geralt, sporting a pint of Scotch, said, "The way I figure it is I'll be conscious enough to pay attention for the first quarter or so, and by then we'll Pe so far ahead it won't matter." AND AS INCREDIBLE as it might seem, there are those who don't look forward to home football games. One such person, Patty Leland, hates football, but happens to live close to the stadium. "For people like me, who despise football, this is a real pain," Leland said. All day long I've got to put up with thousands of people walking past my house making all that noise, then I can hear them announcing the game on the loudspeakers, then everybody comes out and there's that noise again. Usually it drives me right out of the house." ambles by Duke, r Ia 21-9 Michigan finds Duke devilisht By DON MacLACHLAN All week long Bo Schembecher contended that his squad had to get better. He feels the same way this morning after watching his Wol- verines slide past Duke 2i-9 yester- day before 104,072 fans in Michigan Stadium. "Most people have a great miscon- ception of our team because of that score at Illinois (37-9) last week," Schembechler said. "We have not played that well and we still aren't a very good team. That is strange, but true. "UNFORTUNATELY I don't think .......... 'We have not played that well and we still aren't a very good team. That is strange, but true." -Bo Schembechler we improved and when you don't get better you get worse," Schembechler added. "We have the potential but we aren't as good as we ought to be." A solid second quarter gave the Wolverines a 14-0 halftime lead, but Duke responded with a tough third period of its own and the Wolverines held on to secure their second win of the young season. "OUR PLAYERS were loose and played with a style that it would take to beat a great team like Michigan," said Duke coach Mike McGee. "But we made too many mistakes." Penalties, untimely turnovers and mental mistakes plagued the Wol- verines all afternoon. The opening kickoff may have set the trend for what was to follow: a day when Michigan was its own worst enemy. Harlan Huckleby took the opening boot in the end zone and advanced two steps before deciding he wanted a touchback. However, the junior speedster had already crossed the goal line and stood there until a Blue Devil touched him on the one-yard line. Two penalties and three plays later Michigan surrendered the ball to Duke on its own 33-yard line. The defense held and Scott Wolcott missed a 49-yard field goal attempt. The Wolverines punted on the next sequence and Duke threatened Russell rolls on!

Lance protests continue at third By AP and UPI WASHINGTON - Bert Lance in- sisted yesterday there was nothing improper or unethical about the handling of his political debts by the Calhoun, Ga., bank he headed but conceded that, in retrospect, he would handle things differently. "Given my druthers, given my choices, I would make sure it was even more of an arms-length trans- action," the Carter administration budged director told a Senate com- mittee investigating his activities as a Georgia banker. TESTIMONY AT the morning session dealt principally with the handling of the Lance campaign While the nation watches Lance de- fend himself against Senate charges of unethical practices, for the Office of Management and Budget, it's hearing stand up in court, but Sen. Jacob Javits, (R-N.Y.), maintained the Lance, allegations include "big things ... involving violations of law." Nunn's lawyerly defense and Jav- its' sharp questioning highlighted the third day of Lance's testimony before the Senate Governmental Operations committee. THE UNUSUAL Saturday hearing before a full-house public gallery ran on well into the afternoon. It ap- peared likely the panel would have to summon the budget director for more testimony Monday. "If this were a court of law and I were the attorney for the defense .. . then I would make a motion for dismissal of charges based on the evidence so far before this commit- tee," Nunn, Lance's staunches de- fender on the panel, said near the close of the morning session.
