Caer coach Orr takes o i By ALAN FANGER Johnny Orr, the soft-spoken midwestern gen- an who guided the Michigan basketball eam to ten consecutive winning seasons and two Big Ten championships in twelve years as head coach, yesterday accepted the head coaching position at Iowa State University (ISU). Orr, who initially turned down the ISU position, but Monday accepted a more lucrative financial offer, was unanimously ap- proved by the Iowa State Athletic Council early yesterday afternoon. He replaces Lynn Nance, who resigned in January for what he termed ersonal reasons." IT'S THE toughest decision I've ever made," Orr said yesterday, just prior to his departure for the Iowa State campus in Ames. "I love Ann Arbor and I love Michigan and I hate to leave. But I feel this is a new challenge and it's a great opportunity. I want to see if 1 can build this program." At a press conference following the Athletic Council vote, Orr expressed his excitement over the new position. "There isn't a better job in America, and that's what I wanted," Orr told reporters. "There's no coach in the country with a better job than Johnny Orr has at Iowa State. "I'M REALLY excited to be here," con- tinued Orr. "I'm going to do everything possible, within rules, to make us champions. I want to see that arena (Hilton Coliseum) filled, and I want other teams to dread coming to Ames. To do that, we're going to upgrade the schedule. Iowa State isn't afraid to play anyone.", Orr added that he will not bring any of his players or assistant coaches along with him to Iowa State "because they're mad enough." Many players were informed of the decision through newspaper and radio reports early yesterday morning. Orr, who earned an annual salary of $33,665 at Michigan, said the financial package offered to him by ISU Athletic Director Lou Mc- Cullough was the primary reason he took the new position. The package includes a starting salary of $45,000, a country club membership, a weekly television show, a basketball camp, and a private airplane which Orr plans to use for recruiting trips. UNIVERSITY Athletic Director Don Canham said Orr informed him of the decision early Monday morning. However, Canham emphasized he never engaged in financial "bargaining" which would convince Orr to stay in Ann Arbor. "There was none of that," Canham said. "We (the University) are not in a bidding contest. I've never used that kind of tactics. "I think that if John feels good enough about it financially, then that's good enough for me," he added. "John was a close personal friend of a t. job mine. I'm going to miss him a lot." ORR, WHOSE teams appeared in the NCAA tournament every year from 1974 through 1977, takes the reins of a program which has encoun- tered little success in recent years. The Cyclones finished the 1979-80 season with an overall record of-11-16, and a Big Eight con- ference record of 5-9, good for seventh place. In twelve seasons at Michigan, Orr compiled a 209-113 Big Ten record and a 248-146 overall mark. His teams won conference champion- ships in 1974 and 1977, while his 1975 and 1976 squads also received bids to the NCAA tour- nament. The 1971 and 1980 teams were selected to play in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT.) Canham indicated the search for Orr's replacement "will begin immediately," adding that Michigan assistant coach Bill Frieder is "one of two or three people we'll be looking at." See ORR, Page 8 Orr ends 12-year stay MSA ebates Fishbowl renovation nd Cost By MITCH STUART The fate of $15,000 of student- controlled funds was still up in the air late last night as the Michigan Student Assembly (MSA) continued to debate the wisdom of devoting the money to a proposed renovation of the Fishbowl. The University has already commit- $15,000 toward the project, pending A approval of its share, according to MSA officials. At 11:30 last night, the members were still undecided on any monetary com- mitment to the project. 11 MSA Treasurer Jeff Smith said the project is estimated to cost $20,000, but due to a possibility of increased building costs, a maximum of $30,000 would be allocated. SMITH SAID it is very likely the MSA rtion of the funding would not have andatory student fee assessments as its major source. He said the MSA portion of the fun- ding would be from: " An increase in the amount of money MSA receives from GM Underwriters, the insurance company for which it acts as a dealer; and, s A surplus in this year's MSA inter- nal budget, which does arise from andatory student fees. Smith stressed the money for the Fishbowl project would not be drawn from the Assembly's fund for external allocations. This fund is the major por- tion of the 97 cents - MSA's discretionary portion of the $2.92 man- datory fee - that MSA receives direc- tly from each student.

Reagan, assured of at least 84 delegates from New York, remained the overwhelming favorite to win the GOP vote. Reagan was in reach last night of a full majority of New York's Republican convention delegation - a sharp rever- sal from the near shut-out he suffered here in 1976. IN PARTIAL GOP primary returns, Reagan supporters led for every one of the 33 delegate seats he was contesting with George Bush or "uncommitted" candidates. Coupled with the 34 uncon- tested delegates he carried into the voting, Reagan was in position to claim a majority of the state's 123 delegates. In Connecticut Bush defeated Reagan by a margin of 39 per cent to 34 per cent, with 99 per cent of precincts counted. Rep. John Anderson of Illinois received 23 per cent of the vote. Reagan and Carter had consistently been seen as winners in polls taken in the last days of the campaign. IN NEW YORK, with 69 per cent of the precincts counted, Kennedy had 57, per cent of the vote for 162 delegates, and Carter 43 per cent for 120delegates. With 99 per 'cent of the Connecticut's precincts in, Kennedy's vote amounted to 47 per cent and the president's to 41 per cent. Kennedy had trailed consistently in recent pre-primary polls in both states, but the most recent surveys in New, York showed him closing the gap. Kennedy's campaign spokesman, Tom Southwick, credited the victory to changing attitudes by voters toward Carter's economic and foreign policies. "I THINK the bubble's burst for Jimr my Carter," he said. "I think that the people have woken up and realized they cannot nominate a president with 20 per cent inflation and a foreign policy that is a disaster." In a three-day tour of New York City, Kennedy blasted the Carter ad- ministration's economic policies, and reaffirmed his long-standing commit- ment to Israel's security. Last-minute polls had shown the Massachusetts senator gaining on the incumbent, especially among Jews and See KENNEDY, Page 7 WASHINGTON (AP) - Consumer prices in February jumped 1.4 per cent for a second straight month, providing new signs that inflation was settling in at an 18 per cent annual rate, gover- nment figures showed yesterday. As a result of the latest rise in the Consumer Price Index, the buying power of the average American wage earner fell by a record 7.3 per cent during the previous 12 months, the government said in a separate report. A TOP Carter administration in- flation adviser called the new figures a "very ominous trend," and said con- sumer prices will continue to rise at nearly the same rate for several mon- ths as recent hikes in interest rates and wholesale energy prices show up at the consumer level. But R. Robert Russell, director of the Council on Wage and Price Stability, said he believed inflation would not get See FEBRUARY, Page 10 FACILITIES FOR HANDICAPPED WILL BE ADDED: Dorm installations slated By MAURA CARRY Special facilities for handicapped students will be talled in seven University' residence halls during the Housing Program Director Archie Andrews said that the facilities, which have already been installed in family housing units Northwood I and III, will be installed over the summer in South Quad, East Quad, Stockwell, Bursley, Alice Lloyd, Markley, and Cambridge House of West Quad. PLANNED CHANGES include converting triples into doubles to provide more space for residents in wheelchairs, extensive remodeling of bathrooms, and installation of ramps and chair lifts leading into previously inaccessible areas. The project, financed by housing department funds, will cost an estimated $476,000. "Our biggest priority is conversion of toilet facilities," Andrews said. "It's alsothe most expensive." For a bathroom to be usable by someone in a wheelchair, the sinks and toilets must be rearranged, and the curb outside of the shower must be removed so a wheelchair can roll in. Andrews explained that in some of the bathrooms the tub area will be converted to a shower which could be used by the handicapped. SEVERAL ROOMS and a bathroom in each of the dorms have already been selected for conversion. These rooms were not included in the dorm lotteries for next year, in anticipation that handicapped students will be assigned to See AID, Page 5 THOUSANDS OF IRANIANS turned out at the American Embassy in Tehran yesterday to protest the flight of the former shah to Egypt.
