Vol. XCII, No. 22 Copyright 1981, The Michigan Doily Ann Arbor, Michigan-Sunday, October 4, 1981 Ten Cents Ten Pages Blue offensive blast overpowers befuddled Hoosiers, 38-17 By MARK MIHANOVIC Special to the Daily BLOOMINGTON - The Michigan Wolverine offense, erratic through its first three games, completely over- powered Indiana's defense and out- scored the free-wheeling Hoosiers 38-17, yesterday at Memorial Stadium. Butch Woolfolk performed what is becoming a weekly ritual for the Wolverines (3-1 overall and 1-1 in the Big Ten), running through and around opponents for big yardage. He baffled Hoosier defenders for 176 yards on 26 carries and two touchdowns. Woolfolk's performance inks his name indelibly in the Michigan record books, as he tied Rob Lytle and Gordon Bell as the only Wolverines to gain 100 or more yards in six consecutive games. The senior tailback now has 551 yards after four 1981 outings. "IT MEANS something to me to be compared to backs like Rob Lytle and Gordon Bell because I consider them I've gotta give credit to the big fellas up front--they were blocking their tails off There were some pretty big holes out there. -Butch Woolfolk great backs," Woolfolk said afterwar- ds. "I've gotta give credit to the big fellas up front - they were blocking their tails off. There were some pretty big holes out there." Neither team's defense was able to stifle the opposition attack early in the game. Michigan (which finished with 523 yards in total offense and suc- cessfully converted 14 of 16 third down situations) took the opening kick-off and marched briskly to the Hoosiers' 29-yard line, where confusion in the Michigan backfield resulted in a fumble recovery by Indiana cornerback Mike Pendleton at the 36. BEFORE THE 50,612 fans in atten- dance could settle back into their seats, Indiana (1-3, 1-1) had a touchdown on the board via the arm of quarterback Dave Laufenberg, who completed three passes in three plays, the third to senior tight end Bob Stephenson, wide open in the back of the end zohe. The tempo of, the game was set.% The Wolverines came right back with a 74-yard touchdown drive, 54 of which, Woolfolk pumped out, that culminated in a three-yard touchdown roll out by quarterback Steve Smith. Laufenberg (13-18, 197-yds., 1 touch- down on the game), then took his turn, hitting wide receivers Tod Schroyer and Duane Gunn with throws of 33 and 20 yards, respectively, to Michigan's 22- yard line. The Hoosiers were able to Push the ball to the five-yard line but stalled there and settled for a field goal by Mike Greenstein and a 10-7 advan- tage at the end of the first period. But Michigan came back with more of Woolfolk and took the ball from its own 20 in a six-minute scoring drive to start the second quarter. Woolfolk picked up 24 more yards on the ground and caught an eleven yard pass from Smith, the sophomore, who performed like a poised, confident signal caller for the second straight week with a 12-for- 19, 164-yard day, finished the drive by See WOOLFOLK, Page 10 MICHIGAN QUARTERBACK Steve Smith goes over the goal line backwar- ds for the Wolverines first score against Indiana in Bloomington yesterday' afternoon.

Auditoriums filled to SRO (fo By JANET RAE Engineering sophomore Kim Oberle has five words of advice: Don't be late for class." "I leave home early for.all my classes so I can get a seat," she said. "It's not too great to get stuck eight rows back in one of those little chairs when you have a -short TA who writes at the bottom of the blackboard." WALK DOWN ANY hallway and you'll find students sitting in doorways taking notes. Look inside any classroom: students occupy every desk, sit on the floors and lean against walls. Don't expect the overcrowding problem to go away after people settle into the term. The situation is a symptom of deep budget cuts. Fewer LSA courses are being offered this year, said Carolyn Copeland, assistant to LSA Dean Peter Steiner. Copeland said the decrease in course offerings can be directly attributed to a reduction of faculty. Univer- sity officials could not specify the exact num- ber of courses dropped between this year and last year. LSA OFFICIALS have provided the hardest hit departments - economics and computer and communications sciences - with ad- ditional TAs and graders. Still, upper-level economics classes average 70 students. Administrators in this department are considering restricting the number of students who can major in economics by implementing a required grade point average and imposing stricter math and statistics requirements for concentrators. Hiring more faculty members seems like the logical solution, but that won't work now, said Richard Porter, assistant chairman of the economics department. "BY FIGHTING VERY hard we're keeping the department from shrinking," he said. "Steiner's answer is don't let anything hire anybody. "We think it's just incredible," Porter said. "The number of students taking economics has about doubled in the last few years while the number of faculty have remained about the same. We'd need 11 new faculty members in order to significantly lower the number of students in a class. The entire lit. college (LSA) will probably hire about six this year. "The larger classes are so unpleasant to take and teach," Porter said. "They (studen- ts) must be masochists. We keep thinking that r classes) maybe as the classes get larger, we aren't teach- ing as well, the students aren't getting as much out of it, they'll rebel and go take other majors.- It's not happening that way. There's no end in sight." WITHIN LSA, a number of departments are known for the overcrowding problem in their 100- and 200-level courses. Students trying to CRISP into introductory classes in the mathematics department are frequently frustrated. "The department has an agreement with the teaching assistants thatno section shall exceed 30 students," said administrative assistant Leon Zukowski. "We have to do this in as equitable a way as possible. We try to keep it fair." See SLIM, Page 2 Stats popularity causes 200% enrollment rise By FANNIE WEINSTEIN A professor's popularity and some, streamlining by other LSA depar- tments has led to about a 200 percent enrollment increase in the statistics department in the last four years. Since 1976, student enrollment in statistics courses has jumped from 1,170 per academic year to 2,934. THREE YEARS ago, the psychol- ogy department phased out its statistics course and began en- couraging students to enroll in the popular Data Analysis I (Statistics 402) or Statistics 300, an introductory course. Currently, the political science department is considering discon- tinuing its introductory statistics course next fall because Statistics 402. covers essentially the same material, according to department officials. Statistics Department Chairman Michael Woodroofe explained that a centralized introductory course taken by students from various departmen- ts, is a more effective method of lear- ning statistics than a course which is highly specialized. "At the beginning level, I think it's more efficient to have students take courses with examples drawn from a lot of different disciplines," Woodroofe said. WOODROOFE SAID the depar- tment is also experimenting with specialized sections for students from each department. He said presently there are two discussion sections for psychology students being taught by graduate students from that depar- tment. According to Woodroofe, nearly half the students enrolled in statistics, courses are taking 402, the depar- tment's most demanded course, he said. Woodroofe credited the course's See STATISTICS, Page 7 WE.LL, IT LOOVS CF.AP LIKEANOTIAER TH~fYREALL FAKIN! *CROWD O F SAITC 11 tr4-. .. i'v M.yFr+ r v. t ~4 t . , v y f r' t" ' t , ( ,rs"'a y'a Y i a t..

'delighted' at fast's end IRA - gives up strike, BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) The IRA called off its hunger strike at the Maze Prison yesterday after a seven-month fast that left 10 dead, relatives in revolt and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's government fir- mly in control. The guerrillas accused the Catholic Church of betrayal. Seven fasters gave up in recent mon- ths, five after relatives stepped in and two on medical grounds. A month ago, the Irish National Liberation Army dropped out of the protest, citing British "intransigence," and relatives of the six remaining fasters said Friday they would not let them die. FATHER DENIS FAUL, an assistant Roman Catholic chaplain at Maze Prison who met with the families, said relatives no longer were willing to See IRA, Page 7 - f TODAY- Double take T WO-FOR-ONE sales can be found in drug stores, supermarkets and hamburger joints. Now, Lake Erie College in Painesville, Ohio, is getting into the act.

LeMoyne College in Syracuse, N.Y., says his well-known brother is criticized unfairly for using bureaucratic double- talk to protect U.S. interests. Secretary of State Alexander Haig was once asked by Regina, the oldest of the three Haig siblings: "Al, why don't you ever answer a question direc- tly?" "Have you ever thought of the price of a mistake?" Frank Haig quoted his brother as responding. He saidhis brother, the former NATO commander, Army general and corporation president, is knowledgeable about world af- fairs but "definitely not an academic type."

"We just won't tolerate any pilferage around here," the treasurer said. "We'll do what we have to do to put a stop to it."

Starting today, the menu at Valian's restaurant in Grants Pass, Ore., will literally be price-less. Patrons can pay what they think their meal is worth. "Some people will come in and pay what the meal is worth," says Valian, owner of the Great American Breakfast and Barbecue House. "Other people will come in and have no conscience." He says he will con- tinue the gimmick "as long as people's conscience allow"-or until the restaurant's profits drop dramatically. I I'
