XC, No. 143 Ann Arbor, Michigan-Tuesday, April 1, 1980 * Ten Cents Ten Pages Frieder selected to lead 'U' cagers By SCOTT LEWIS Bill Frieder, Michigan's assistant basketball coach for the last seven years, yesterday became the 12th head coach in Wolverine history. The appointment of Frieder, 38, was announced at a late afternoon press conference at Crisler Arena, which was followed by an annual year-end banquet for the 1979-80 Michigan squad and coaches. THE NAMING of Frieder as head coach, which was approved by the Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics earlier yesterday, came as no surprise. Athletic Director Don Canham said last week that Frieder was a prime candidate for the post, which was vacated by the popular Johnny Orr, who has taken the head coaching spot at Iowa State University. Frieder thanked Canham for giving him the top coaching spot "which is like a dream come true for me. There's nothing quite like coaching at the University of Michigan," he said. Frieder had received several head coaching offers during his tenure as Michigan's assistant cage coach, but turned all of them down. In 1976, for example, Fordham University wooed his services but after considerable thought, Frieder chose to stay with the Wolverines. "I was going to take the job at For- dham," recalled Frieder. "I flew to New York and took a cab ride to For- dham. But it wasn't Michigan. It didn't have the class Michigan has. It didn't have the people Michigan has. Michigan is the greatest.". THE FORDHAM experience was repeated more than once for Frieder, Time and again, he said, he compared the schools interested in him to Michigan, and chose to "wait it out." "I decided a couple years ago to stay at Michigan until Orr left," Frieder said. "I knew it might be five or six years. If I didn't get the job after that, then I was going to do something else." Canham expressed confidence that Frieder will maintain the winning tradition established during Orr's 12- year reign. "WE ARE extremely pleased to have Bill Frieder in charge of our basketball program at Michigan," said Canham. "He is a tireless worker and one of the finest basketball strategists in the Big Ten today. He certainly deserves the opportunity to coach this team." The athletic director denied that, a few seasons back, he promised Frieder. the head coaching job upon Orr's departure. "He (Frieder), asked me, 'Would I be one of the two or three can- didates which you would consider?' I answered 'Yes.' I probably answered him, 'You're at the top of the list.' But I didn't promise him a job. Frieder's dedication and intensity have won him a large group of admir- ers. In addition he has been an invalu- able asset to Orr in game situations and in practice. "HE'S WORKED under John during the seven most successful years in Michigan basketball," Canham said. "He's a great bench coach." Frieder does not anticipate any drastic changes in the Wolverines' style of play next season. "We'll adjust our Daily Photo by JIM KRUZ' BILL FRIEDER, MICHIGAN'S assistant basketball coach for seven years, was named head coach yesterday, replacing Johnny Orr.

U.S. expeets hostage plan today From AP and UPI WASHINGTON - President Carter's press secretary hinted yesterday that an Iranian government announcement might come today on removing the =pierican hostages in Tehran from con- Crol of student militants. There were also indications Carter was ready to take new action should this not occur. Carter spokesman Jody Powell said the president will "make an ap- propriate statement to the American people" following the anticipated word from Tehran. POWELL REPORTED that Iran's Revolutionary Council has been in "ex- tended session" for the past two days. Headded: "There are reports that the Revolutionary Council has addressed the question of the transfer of control of the hostages to the government of Iran, and there are reports that President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr is scheduled to make a statement tomorrow." The White House spokesman also said Carter, after postponing a scheduled speech, met w th his national security advisers and with key congressional leaders to advise them of developments. It was learned the meeting with security officials dealt with possible new moves toward Iran. HOWEVER, a spokesman for the Moslem militants occupying the em- bassy said, "There is no plan to move First Ward candidates exchange insults; issues take back seat them (the hostages) to another place. The hostages will be here until the shah is returned - as we have always said." And a spokesman for Iran's Foreign Ministry told UPI in London by telephone that the Washington Post report "is not true. That plan for the Americans is left over from a few mon- ths ago. It is not about to be implemen- ted now." The only development that appeared certain, as reported by the BBC, was that Bani-Sadr met with "student leaders" and will make an announ- cement concerning the hostages today. In Cairo, a doctor said the deposed shah of Iran's cancer had spread to his liver. Doctors last Friday removed the shah's dangerously enlarged spleen. It was the shah's admission to the United States for treatment of his cancer, despite the opposition of the new regime, that triggered the Nov. 4 em- bassy takeover in Tehran. BY MITCH STUART i University Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer James Brinkerhoff yesterday ruled out the possibility that the University would fund more than half of the projected $30,000 ceiling cost for the renovation of the Fishbowl. He added that no University funds would be allocated to the project if the Michigan Student Assenbly failed to approve its portion of the funding. "With the indication that the project was not flying too well (with MSA members)," Brinkerhoff said, "I said 'Come back and see me when you have a project that (MSA) supports'." MSA ECONOMIC Affairs Coor- dinator Brad Canale and Special Projects Coordinator J.P. Adams met with Brinkerhoff yesterday to discuss the possibility of the University funding more than 50 per cent of theproject. Canale and Adams approached the University officer after being urged by the Assemblydlast weekto explore alternate funding for the Fishbowl renovation.

Little love has been lost betwen the 40-year-old Democratic incumbent, Susan Greenberg, and her 20-year-old Republican student challenger Donald Hubbard. Campaign officials on both sides ad- mit the battle for the council seat has been "mostly a personality campaign," focusing on Hubbard's claims of Greenberg's poor record on council and the incumbent's denials of the ' publican's claims. k'. The campaign styles of the two can- didates are as different as night and day. Hubbard goes from door-to-door in Police warn of Hash Bash trackdown By WILLIAM THOMPSON Although Ann Arbor's five-dollar fine for marijuana use is one of the most lenient drug laws in the state, police warn that anyone found using the drug at today's Fighth Annual Hash Bash can expect to be given a ticket for the violation. "Our officers will enforce any iolations of the law," said Capt. Ken- neth Klinge, head of the University Unit of the Ann Arbor police. He also said of- ficers will make a special effort to ap- prehend anyone violating the state's alcohol possession codes. "Anyone who is under-21 will be cited," Klinge war- ned. THE CAPTAIN said police would See POLICE, Page 3 his ward each day, but Greenberg finds that people often view that approach as intrusion, and has concentrated more on mailings and flyers. She has cam- paigned in the residence hall areas of the ward, while Hubbard has talked to many students and homeowners. About 35 per cent of the First Ward population is composed of students. AND WHILE Greenberg is running a "low-key" campaign, Hubbard said he has "worked harder on this (campaign) than anything I've ever done in my whole life." Both candidates have raised about $1,200 in campaign contributions and both have the support of party regulars. When next Monday's election rolls around, the outcome will probably be determined more by party and per- sonality than by issue. Hubbard's cam- paign manager, LSA junior David Jaye, said his camp is expecting the Republicans to benefit if the voter tur- nout is low. However, Greenberg's See FIRST, Page 2 MSA campaign issues cover wide spectrum By MITCH STUART A Daily News Analysis With the April 8 and 9 Michigan Student Assembly general elections rapidly approaching, candidates are at- tempting to communicate their positions on various campaign issues to the student body. All too often, however, students are asked to vote for a candidate who advocates spending X number of MSA dollars on project Y, while the voter has little or no concep- tion of the history or possible impact of the proposal. What follows is an attempt to clarify and explain some of the most hotly- For the first of a series of articles on this year's MSA candidates, see Page 3. debated MSA campaign issues this year. STUDENT APATHY' Some candidates cite student apathy and ignorance, of MSA as one of the major failings of the current Assembly; many envision increased student awareness and participation in student; government as a high priority and im- portant goal for the next Assembly. Two central problems are at issue: Students by and large know little about the internal workings of their student government, to which they pay an an- nual stipend; and, students aren't aware that MSA can use its power to try to resolve problems students may have with the University community. Some candidates also say that MSA must get more student input into their key decisions - primarily those on how to spend student funds. Two candidate proposals to aid the Assembly in these tasks are: Bringing some MSA meetings to dorms (and possibly fraternities, sororities, and co-ops), and moving the starting time of some MSA meetings back to allow an extra hour of student comments. FORUM A forum between various student leaders on campus, some candidates say, is the only effective way to keep MSA abreast of all the issues that con- cern students. Such a forum, the Inter- College Student Government Coalition, was established in the fall of this year but essentially ceased to function due to an apparent lack of interest. A similar proposal this year would establish a "think-tank" composed of renresen- 'ee MSA, Page 7 Ol mPW legend dies AP Pho Jesse Owens, shown in action in the 200-meter run at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, died yesterday in Tucson, Ariz., at the age of 66 (inset photo).

If Shapiro were to walk across a University lawn, :Youngblood added, he could easily be scolded for his inadvertent action because of his youthful appearance. "They'd more likely scold me as president than for that," Shapiro retorted. Q Goodbye, Sogie An Ann Arbor canine tradition died Sunday. Sogus T. Bogus, affectionately known as "Sogie," passed away after a long illness. Pokempner said. Sogie was also a student; he graduated from the University several years ago with a degree in squirrel catching, and was considering pursuing a law degree. .
