Wet crowd witnesses
Homecoming rout
By RICK BONINO
Michigan's top - ranked Wolverises strutted their
stuff for . a national television audience, retaining a
muddy Little Brown Jug with a resounding 45-0 Home-
coming victory over Minnesota's limping Golden Goph-
er's.
After treating a rain-soaked, steadily dwindling sell-
out crov;J of 104,426 to three first - half touchdowns,
Michigan added insult to injury with even more pro-
ductive offensive mayhem to reward those diehards who
remained.
MEANWHILE, A SPIRITED Wolverine defense confined
Minnesota to its own half of the field until the final Gopher
drive, en route to its second straight Big Ten shutout.
Michigan coach Bo Schembechler, after weeks of pleading
for a "dogfight" as his charges rolled over opponents, changed
his tune in the dressing room's welcome post-game warmth.
"I'm tired of talking about that," Schembechler said. "We
haven't had any close games, let's keep tit that way."
MINNESOTA'S- FORCED USE tf several walking wounded
helped keep the competition down, a factor Schembechler urged
the press to emphasize.
"We just can't get enough people out there at one time
to play," said Gopher coach Cal Stoll. "We've been running
patched together and it caught up with us. We just didn't
put enough glue on."

Galileo was a liar
A group of physicists from East Carolina Uni-
versity have concluded that Galileo never really
conducted that experiment of dropping two ob-
jects - one heavy and one light - from the
top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and watching
them hit the ground at the same time. The sc-
entists tried last week to duplicate the legend
that appears in most freshman physics texts.
The heavier object, a 12-pound shotput, most
definitely hit the ground before a one-pound rub-
ber ball did. While endorsing the old master's
actual law - that objects in a vacuum (without
air resistance) in gravity fields will fall at the
same velocity regardless of mass-the physicists
speculated that Galileo simply dreamed up the
illustration. "I suspect that students who came
to him turned it into a sort of historical myth,"
said one.
"
It'll play in Peoria
"I do not believe that we should dismantle
the CIA. Many times it is the CIA's covert cap-
ability that stands between a do-nothing policy
and nuclear cpnfrontation. Unfortunately, in to-
day's world, the CIA is needed'." No, that's not
the President or James Schlesinger, it's Joe the
Computer, the brainchild of social scientists John
Cragan and Donald Shields. The researchers fed
their machine a cross-section of foreign policy
views from 60 persons - supposedly representing
the citizenry of Peoria, Illinois - and it clicked
out the perfect speech. Using the Peorians' views,
it designed the speech that would please the most
listeners and offend the fewest. "The speech gen-
erally is what Henry Kissinger has been saying,"
commented Cragan. "It should please him to know
that he plays well in Peoria."

From wire Service Reports
Running neck and neck with
just days to go, Gerald Ford and
Jimmy Carter campaigned hard
yesterday in states with the fat
electoral bounties 'that make
presidents. Ford said he'll win;
Carter's people said they saw
promise in their own vote pro-
jections.
Ford, in his final week surge
spent yesterday morning in
Houston before heading for ap-
pearances in two other critical
states-Pennsylvania and New
York,
CARTER meanwhile f 1 e w
from St. Louis to a brief stop-
over in Tulsa, Okla., before go-
ing on to a large rally in New
Orleans. This was his last cam-
paign in his native south-an
area he is counting on to provide
an electoral vote cushion on
Tuesday.
The former Georgia governor
winds up his 22-month campaign
with stops in the prize states of
Texas and California, as well as
Flint, Michigan, on his way
home to Plains, Ga.
Both candidates are winding
up their campaigns with the
focus on policy, after lengthy
exchanges of personal attacks.
IN NEW ORLEANS and Tulsa,
Aloof Nixon keeps low profile
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (UPI)- Four years
ago, 47 million voters gave Richard Nixon the
Presidency.
Now Nixon is in utter isolation, almost in
hiding, either in his Casa Pacifica home or on
a golf course.
THE FORMER PRESIDENT has taken not
the slightest part in the campaign. He has not
given his support to, Gerald Ford, the man he
personally put in office, nor has he been -asked
to:
Nixon has recovered his health. He plays
golf three and sometimes four times- a week,
often as many as 36 holes in a single day,
zipping around in an electric cart with Secret
Service agents never more than a few yards
away .
HIS FAVORITE COURSE is Shorecliffs, a
public links on the northern edge of San Cle-
mente. An aide telephones to say Nixon is on
his way. He tees off with no waiting and then
"plays through" the golfers ahead of him.
A few weeks ago a group of young boys
gathered near the first tee and, as Nixon pre-
pared to hit his drive, one of them called out:
"Hey, Nixon, do you cheat at golf like you
did in the White House?"
HE ACTED AS IF he had not heard them.
Clubhouse attendants shooed the boys off and
Nixon went ahead with his game.
But Warren Esterline; managing editor of
the San Clemente Sun Pilot, thinks folks are
somewhat protective of the town's most fam-
ous resident.
"I think the majority think he is a good
guy," says Esterline. "They think he wasgre-
moved from office improperly, that it was full
of politics. It is something they would like to
forget about."
"AND I DON'T think it is strange that you
don't see him on the streets in view of the
office he held and the manner he left it. It
isn't as if this were his home town, that he
delivered papers as a boy, had a lot of friends.
He simply bought property on the south edge
of town. We seldom saw him when he was
President.
"You would hardly expect him to come down
to the beer bar and arm wrestle with the
boys."

Carter assailed Ford's proposal
to lower taxes as a $20 billion
windfall for corporations and
the wealthy.
At a rally in Houston, Ford
snelled out the themes his cam-
paign and his attacks on Car-
ter's proposals.
He-blasted Carter's call for
cutting' defense spending by $5
billion calling it "gambling with
the security of America."
HE REITERATED his belief
in tax incentives as the best way
to build jobs and called Carter's
policy one of pushing "deadend
jobs . . . out of the federal
treasury.
Finally, Ford promised to
battle the Democratic Congress
for his proposed $250 hike in
personal income tax reductions.
Overshadowing the actual ap-
pearance of the two men on the
hectic final weekend of cam-
paigning, however, is the elev-
enth hour flurry of opinion poll's
jockeying to predict Tuesday's
outcome.
FRIDAY NIGHT, a Harris
poll showed Carter's lead had
shrunk from a previous three to
four per cent to only one per
cent. 45-44, with seven per cent
undecided and four per cent of
the vote going to independent
Ewqene McCarthy.
The key element in Tuesday's
outcome, however, with the ac-
tual number of votes expected to
split virtually evenly, will be
which states either man can
ca-ture.
The result is decided on the
basis of votes in the Electoral
ColleQe. Each of the 50 states
and the District of Columbia has
a mmimtl of three votes out
of 538 electorial votes. A ma-
inrity, or 270 votes, wins the
ele'tion,.

There were few tricks of treats last night as over 200
Devil's Night disciples bumped to the beat of University
Activities Center (UAC) "Masquerade Disco" at the Union
Ballroom.
Though few goblins or ghouls were on the scene a few
ersatz Draculas and some left over football fans, dressed
head-to-toe in maize and blue, seemed to be enjoying them-
selves.
"DISCO, I love it, I love to dance," said Chris Gray of
Chi Omega who said she and her partner, Joe= Heffernan,
won an award for "the most enthusiastic couple" at her
sorority party.
