Special to The Daily
WEST LAYFAYETTE, Ind. -- Pur-
due won't be the "Spoilermakers" this
year.
Michigan made sure of that yester-
day and set the scene for the annual
Ohio State showdown with an impres-
sive 40-7 rout of the Boilermakers
before 68,003 upset-minded fans.
REMEMBERING the 16-14 humilia-
tion suffered here last year, Michigan'
overcame the cold, the high winds, the
snow and even the grass field as it
tuned up for the Big Ten showdown next
Saturday,
"This is what we had to have (before
the OSU game)," said coach Bo
Schembechler. "We wanted to win and
win decisively."
Russell Davis keyed the offensive at-
tack in the absense of Harlan Huckleby,
who sat on the bench with a sore ham-
string muscle. Davis led all rushers
with 168 yards on 21 carries, including
68 yards it 3 successive third quarter
attacks, and added one touchdown run.
THE DEFENSE, meanwhile, virtu-
ally shut down Purdue's offense after
the Boilermakers' first drive.
"The defense was very good today,"
,Schembechler said, "Purdue had that
first drive and scored and that was it."
Purdue gave the crowd some life by
opening the game with a 55-yard, 7-play
scoring drive after stopping the
Wolverines on their first possession.
PURDUE quarterback Mark Herr-
mann rolled right from the 6-yard line
and found tight-end Dave Young
waiting deep in the endzone for the
score.
The Boilermakers did not threaten
again until the end of the game when
Michigan had the game well in hand.

MICHIGAN FULLBACK RUSSELL DAVIS (33) is too much even for this corps of Purdue defenders as he
scores the Wolverines' opening touchdown in the second half of yesterday's game in West Lafayette. Davis'
167-yard performance was tops in the 40-7 Blue win.

PANAMA CITY, Panama (AP) -
anamanian leader Omar Torrijos
said yesterday he will resign if U.S.
senators feel he is an obstacle to rati-
fication of the Panama Canal treaty
and promised to halt human rights
violations in his country.
"If the Senate were to say that for
the ratification of the treaty they
needed that I go, I would leave,"
Torrijos said through an interpreter
after a hastily organized and un-
scheduled meeting with six U.S,
senators.
THE PANAMANIAN general also
vowed to take immediate steps to end
human rights violations in his coun-
try.
President Carter, flying back to
Washington after watching a football
game in nearby Annapolis, Md., said
of the Panamanian leader's offer to
resign: "I don't consider General
Torrijos to be an obstacle."
tTorrijos also told the visiting sena-
tors that he would move immediately
to abolish martial law provisions that,
have been in effect since 1969 and lift'
provisions that allow his government
to hold political prisoners without
trial for up to 15 years.
I ssue
reporters from Panama and thej
United States, brought immediate
praise from members of the Senate
delegation, led by Majority Leader
Robert Byrd (D-W. Va.).
SEN. H O W A R D Metzenbaum,
(D-Ohio), said he had been per-
suaded to support ratification of the
treaty. Two others, Sens. Don Riegle,
(D-Mich.), and Walter Huddleston
(D-Ky.), offered their qualified sup-
port.
Byrd and Sen. Paul Sarbanes
(D-Md.), said they would reserve
judgment until they obtain more
information.
Sen. Spark Matsunaga (D-Hawaii),
already had gone on record as
favoring the pact, and Sen. James
Sasser (D-Tenn.),- h a d returned
home before the tour ended.
EARLIER, the senators had said-
their fact-finding mission gave them
a 'new perspective' on the treaty.
The group left for Washington yes-
terday. The trip included meetings
with American and Panamanian offi-
cials and citizens, an inspection of
the canal and a flying tour with
Torrijos.
The general apparently made the
By JULIE ROVNER
Every Monday night he presides
over City Council meetings with a
firm hand - maintaining order, ask-
ing probing questions and keeping
the city's business moving along. To
study his brisk professional veneer,
one would think politics is his entire
life, hands down.,
But few people realize that Mayor
Albert Wheeler, alias Dr. Albert
Wheeler, alias Professor Albert
Wheeler, spends a good part of his
week in a white lab coat, presiding
over a bunch of second year medical
students.
"HE WEARS both hats very
well," says K.D. Williams, one of
Wheeler's microbiology students.
"He doesn't talk very much about
being mayor. You really have to pull
any political things out of him."
For the past 25 years, Wheeler has
taught microbiology to medical,
dental, nursing and pharmacology
students at the University. Before
that, he spent eight years as a re-
search associate in the field.
"I like working for both the city
and the University," says Wheeler.
that each laboratory experiment is
pre-run to verify the results, and ap-
pears occasionally as a guest lec-
turer in microbiology.
The mayor admits that juggling
his professorship with city duties is
time-consuming. But he doesn't
seem to mind that much.
"Almost ever since graduate
school, I've been an 18-hour-day per-
son," he says. "Sometimes it's tiring
and aggravating, but I've always
shared my life between the Uni-
versity and the community."
APPARENTLY, Wheeler's stu-
dents don't feel cheated by their pro-
fessor's extracurricular activities.
"There's a lot of other professors
who actually spend less time prepar-
ing for their classes," reports Mike
Grofsorean. "I don't think he's had a
half-hour of calm since he's been in
office. It must be a drag."
"He's very conscientious about
this lab," says Greg Barkley, a
graduate student in microbiology
and a teaching assistant for the
course. "There's never any conflict
about not having time to do this or
that."
