Ninety-Two Years Off Editorial Freedom Mit i4wu ~hii1W OKAY Partly cloudy today with a high in the low 50s. Vol. XCII, No. 52 Copyright 1981, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigon-Sunday, November 8, 1981 Ten Cents Eight Pages ScorinSpree 'M' scalpsIllini, 70-21; ties for conference lead By BUDDY MOOREHOUSE After the visiting Fighting Illini had passed themselves to a 21-7 lead in the first quarter yesterday, the Michigan offense remembered how to score touchdowns and the Wolverines' defen- se remembered how to stop them. In the highest-scoring game ever played in Michigan Stadium, Michigan came from behind to reel off nine straight touchdowns en route to a 70-21 thrashing of Illinois. BEHIND quarterback Steve Smith, who ran for three touchdowns and passed for three more, the Wolverines dazzled the 105,570 fans in attendance with an offensive show that piled up 645 total yards. Aided by Minnesota's 35-31 victory over Ohio State yesterday, Michigan moved into a first-place tie in the Big Ten with Wisconsin, both with 5- 2 league marks. The win also buoys the Wolverines' hopes for a return trip to the Rose Bowl. Should Michigan win its final two games and Wisconsin lose or tie one, the Wolverines will earn the trip to Pasadena. In a game which made everyone forget the days when the Big Ten was considered a defensive conference, the two teams combined for a total of 1,139 yards, 494 of which belonged to the Illini. The 91 points were the most scored in a Michigan game since the Wolverines handed West Virginia a 130- 0 decision back in 1904. "YOU NEVER know what you might see in this stadium," remarked Michigan coach Bo Schembechler after the game. "That offense of theirs is hard to handle, but we were fortunate because we had a hot hand offen- sively." In the first quarter, though, it was the Illini who had the hot hand. Just as everyone had expected, Illinois came out throwing and doing quite well. Behind the arm of junior quarterback Tony Eason, who finished the day with 386 yards passing on 31 completions, the Illini scored on their first three possessions to take a 21-7 lead. And with Eason having little trouble picking apart the Wolverines' secondary, it ap- peared as though Michigan was in for a long afternoon. Eason, who picked up his sixth 300- yard passing game of the season, opened the second stanza by moving his team down to the Michigan 15-yard line, putting the Illini in a position to take a commanding three-touchdown lead. But as Eason threw to teammate Joe Curtis at the goal line, Michigan's Jerry Burgei intervened and ran the intercep- tion back 16 yards. THE WOLVERINES proceeded to move the next 84 yards in six plays, where Smith fell into the end zone for his first of three touchdowns, shor- tening the Illini lead to 21-14. Then after trading punts, Michigan got another break, when Ben Needham picked off an Eason pass on See ILLINI, Page 8 QB Smith and ran the ball 15 times for 116 yards and three more touchdowns, keyed a 21- point second quarter surge which broke the backs of the Illini. "I'M VERY happy with his perfor- mance," Moeller said. "Steve Smith is a sophomore, and everyone has to realize that. He's a talented player, but until you do it on the field, nobody's going to believe it. He's going to be a lot better than he was today. It's not always going to show up in the stats, but he can be better." Smith kicked off his day on Michigan's fourth play from scrim- mage, when he lofted the ball 30 yards See SMITH, Page 8 Blue fans dazzled by By MARK MIHANOVIC When quarterback coach Gary Moeller sifted through the reporters and young admirers surrounding Michigan's Steve Smith to offer his post-game congratulations, the center of attention smiled, shook his head, and said "Wow!" That about summed up the prevalent feeling of the day - for the Wolverine squad, which lit up the scoreboLrd and Michigan Stadium, with 70 points; for Moeller, who for the second straight year, saw the Wolverines blow out the team he coached before being fired in 1979; and, most of all, for Smith, who accounted for 340 total yards and six touchdowns on the day. IT WAS A performance which Michigan coaches and fans had been expecting since the spring of 1980, when. the six-foot, 190-pound Grand Blanc High School graduate ended a hot recruiting war with the announcement that he was coming to Michigan. Smith pulled every aspect of his game together - the 4.5 speed the rifle arm, the on-field intelligence and leadership were all on display for the 105,570 fans who witnessed an Illinois rout turn around faster than, you can say "Jerry Burgei interception."

Carter, who caught six passes for 154 yards, became Michigan's all-time yardage leader for receivers, surpassing Jack Clancy's 1,919 yard total set in 1966. +_ 'U' life By MARINA VRAILAS On this cold September morning, Augustus Okhmafe was very excited. The jet which had brought him and his wjfe all the way from their native Nigeria was about to land at Detroit's Metro Airport. - 4Okhmafe was justifiably proud of himself. He had received a coveted scholarship for graduate studies at the University of Michigan's School of Pharmacy. He was also proud of his wife, who looked so pretty in her African robe. The African couple had come determined to explore and enjoy every opportunity that American ed- cucation and way of life could offer Othem. FIVE HOURS later,, Okhmafe and his twife, were waiting anxiously at the University's International Cen- ter. They had not realized that finding an apartment would be so hard in the United States. They were tired and cold in their cotton garments, which were ideally' suited for the warm African weather. Adaptation difficulties started early for the young African couple. But, ac- cording to other foreign students and counselors at the University's Inter- national Center, the4 difficulties the Okhmafes suffered are unfortunately typical. Language is one the most obvious barrier a foreign student must' over- come. Feelings of alienation, loneliness, and troubles learning ard or American customs often pose more serious hurdles to foreign students, ac- cording to University counselors. HANISUP KOWN is a '29-year-old graduate student in engineering from Korea. Although he says the United States has much to offer him in educational opportunities, he says he is reluctant to make too many American ,friends. "Before coming to the States, I had already acquired a set of values, as far as family and friendships are concer- ned. So, I do not think that there was a need for me to compromise with the American way of thinking, with foreign American pastimes. This is why most of my friends also come from Korea," Kown said. Another problem for international students is learning differences' in culture. In Indonesia, for example, looking an older person in the eye is a sign of disrespect. In the United States, a shifty glance may signal dishonesty. In many Arab nations, it is rude to open a gift in front of the person who has given it. Yet, in American culture, it is often considered rude not to do so. SINCE MANY international students are only in the United States for a few years to receive their education before students returning to their native country, some say it seems pointless to make lasting friends in America. "Most foreign students tend to be graduate students and often live in apartments, where it is often difficult to socialize ( With American students), said LSA Sophomore Randa Desski, who is a native of Egypt. In addition, foreign students are sometimes overwhelmed by the sheer size and impersonality of the Univer- sity. One student, Noriko Frejji from Japan, said she resents the "immensity of the University of Michigan" and that See 'U', Page 5 Life abroad tough for Americans By PAUL TUCCI About 60 American high school and college students recently found out first hand the sorts of adiustment problems foreign students who come to school in the United States experience. Gathered at a resort near Brighton last weekend, the students, who par- ticipated in a Youth for Understanding mission to Japan earlier this year recounted the troubles they struggled with in leaving the United States for the first time and living in Japan. FOR MANY OF the students, their trip to the Far East was the first time they had encountered a culture dif- ferent from their own. And they said they fought through the adjustment, just as most foreign students do on their first trip to the United States. "I hated the food, I hated the family tI livedwith), and I began counting the days to go home," said Lisa Marie Will, a sophomore at Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa. "Like international students here at the University the American students said they often felt isolated and frustrated struggling to overcome the language barrier and learn foreign customs. "MY HOST FAMILY would try to get me to speak more Japanese, but I would get so frustrated, not being able to communicate how I felt," said 16- year-old Krista King from Cincinnati. King said seeking out other Americans became something of a preoccupation for her. Speaking to other Americans "was a relief, an outlet," she said. "In another country, nothing else is familiar. I wanted to meet (another American) for security." Yet, despite all of the difficulties and struggling to adjust to their long stay Japan, most students took a more philosophical approach to their visit. The culture shock, said LSA sophomore David Rexford, was "fascinating, a chance to explore new ideas, and to learn."

FodTODAY Food fight follow-up FFICIALS OF CHOWAN College, a small Baptist school in Murfreesboro, N.C., were not amused when a food fight broke out among 600 students in the cafeteria Oct. 28, resulting in 10 arrests and causing $3,500 worth of damage.

It was only after betting-and losing-on - the outcome of the Oct. 17 University of Miami-Mississippi State college football game, that Graham learned his stakes were out of season. Instead, he's planning on sending a box of navel oranges to Mississippi Gov. William Winter, whose home state team triumphed 14- 10.

Magistrate Steve Mirretti said he received a pair of $2 win- ning lottery tickets this week from an unnamed culprit to pay for a duo of $2 parking tickets. Mirretti said there's no legal precedent to establish whether the tickets can be ac- cepted in lieu of a $2 check or money order. "The tickets have been scratched and they are definitely winners," he said. "I'm just not sure what to do with them." i :i I
