The Spartans, now 2-3 overall and 1-1 in the Big Ten, had numerous chances to claw back and get into the game, but the Michigan defense refused to yield. After trailing 7-0, the Wolverines grab- bed the lead for good in the second quarter on a 50-yard field goal by Gregg Willner, and went on to post their fifth consecutive victory. "It was a good win for Michigan," said coach Bo Schembechler. "Michigan State played very well. There were some quick changes of momentum out there." The Michigan punting game provided most of the action in the first quarter. On Michigan's first possession punter John Anderson just barely got off a 41- yard punt after a bad snap. Four minutes later, Anderson booted a 13 yarder into a strong wind, giving the Spartans possession on the Michigan 34. Michigan State couldn't gain one yard on the Blue defense and settled for a 57-yard field goal attempt by Hans Nielsen-which fell short. The scoreless battle continued and Michigan, which only recorded one first down in the first quarter, punted again. with five minutes left in the session. Anderson got off another short kick but State's Mark Anderson charged the football and fumbled. Michigan's Dominic Todesco recovered at the State 42. "'(Mark) Anderson tried to keep the ball from bouncing and the ball just slipped out," Tedesco said. Michigan gave the football right back when Rick Leach coughed up the ball three plays later and Spartan Craig Fedore pounced on it. The motivated Spartans took possession on their own 42 and progressed to the Michigan 20 when the scoreless first quarter ended. On the first play of the second quar- ter, State quarterback Ed Smith faked to tailback Leroy McGee and lofted a perfect 19 yard scoring pass to Kirk Gibson. The Spartan flanker slipped behind Jim Pickens to put the hosts on the board and Nielsen conversion gave the Spartans a7-0 lead. "At that point we weren't alarmed," said tailback Harlan Huckleby, "we felt we could score on them. We did sur- prise them with some passes." On the ensuing kickoff the Wolverines did just that. Michigan put together an 80-yard drive in nine plays to knot the score. The march started out with six running plays before Rick Leach hit Ralph Clayton with a 40-yard aerial at the State 15. After Huckleby burst off tackle for three of his 146 yards on the day, Leach connected with Rick White on a 12-yard scoring pass. The touchdown was White's first as a Wolverine. Later iii the period the Leach to Clayton combination clicked again for 41 yards, setting up Wilner's field goal. Michigan continued to dominate play in the period and was knocking on the door again with two minutes left in the half. Clayton ran for 20 yards and hauled in a Leach pass for 18 more before State's See BLUE, Page 8 Dow plant, workers OK after gas leak JIM EARtLEY (48), Michigan State fullback, makes a hard-earned 3-yard gain as he is tripped up by Michigan's Don Tedesco; left.

MIDLAND (UPI) - Production resumed yesterday at a Dow Chemi- cal Co. plant where a chlorine spill a day earlier created a huge, ,deadly gas cloud that injured eight workers and forced the evacuation of 13,000 .people. A company spokesman said the seven Dow workers and a plumber working for an outside contractor were out of danger and improved to fair condition at a city hospital. TWELVE OTHERS were treated and released at local hospitals, and six school children briefly were given oxygen but needed no other treat- ment. The brief leak Friday was blamed on broken valve bolts. The spill was. limited to 30 gallons, but the liquid evaporated into a poisonous cloud five miles long and three miles wide.' "There apparently was corrosion on the bolts that held a bonnet on the valve," Dow spokesman Tom Sin- clair said at the firm's world head- quarters not far from the spill site. "They weren't supposed to corrode, but they did. The valve has been completely replaced." SINCLAIR SAID nobody was near the leak, at the chlor-alkali proces- sing plant. A warning system at a re- mote control center recorded the leak, and the pipe was quickly shut off, he said. But in a four-hour period before the cloud dissipated, authorities were forced to clear a portion of .this central Michigan town holding 4,000 homes and 13,000 residents Four schools also were in the cloud's path. Saturday Dow officials praised authorities for ordering the evacua- tions that featured house-to-house searches for helpless victims who may have been felled by the toxic fumes -that attack the respiratory system. "The thing that made the evacua- tion so widespread was that we were dealing with four - mile - per - hour winds that were fickle," Sullivan said. "That tended to move the cloud around a bit."

Besides, this was the best job for the hours I had." The wages for most of the jobs are comparable to outside pay and the hours are usually flexible. ACCORDING TO ONE Literary College (LSA) sophomore, who asked not to be identified, her job of feeding 500 rats for cellular biology and chemistry, fitted well into her heavy schedule. "I would get my work done in 45 minutes and would get credited three hours for it. My pay was $3.50 an hour, so I would end up getting about $10.00 for 45 minutes of feeding rats," she said. One of the most positive aspects of Work Study is the number of jobs - 1100 of them - and the range of work offered.

Many are church groups tions long quiet. -from the Michigan area who come n papyrus almost every week to catch a glimpse of ancient copies of the New Testa- ment, most notably a copy of the Epistles of Paul from the third cen- tury A.D. In the field of religion, papyri have shattered previous misconceptions tightly held by theologists. For a long time, because the language of the New Testament didn't sound like any other known Greek, theologists said it was the language of God. "But," reported Youtie, "c can now see from its close resemblance to the language in personal letters we have that the New Testament was written in a very vulgar Greek, the language of ordinary, poorly educat- edmen." IN ANCIENT Egypt, the lure of magic often captured the hearts of those with unrealiz:' b desires. "Our papyri texts on magwc are handbooks explaining precisely how to carry it out," Youtie said. "There is one on love magic, about getting hold of a woman who you don't know.
