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.

Meet Prof.Wheeler 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."
