V4 ichigan stalls Bolerma ers, 28-10 'M' leads Roses race By GREG DeGULIS Special to the Daily WEST LAFAYETTE- The Michigan offense, beset by penalties and tur- novers in the first three quarters, ex- ploded for 21 fourth quarter points to sprint away from the Purdue Boiler- makers, 28-10, in front of 69,736 fans at Ross-Ade Stadium yesterday. The Michigan win, coupled with Wisconsin's 17-7 loss to Iowa yesterday, places the Wolverines atop the Big Ten BUTCH WOOLFOLK (left) and Ben Needham (below) illustrate two reasons why the Wolverines got by the Boilermakers, 28-10, yesterday in West Lafayette. Michigan now holds its own Rose Bowl destiny, needing only a win- over Ohio State for the trip to' Pasadena. standings with a 6-2 conference record and in control of their Rose Bowl destiny. IF MICHIGAN defeats Ohio State next Saturday, the Wolverines will be crowned the Big Ten champs and will make the trek to Pasadena for the four- th time in the last five years. However, if Michigan loses to Ohio State and Iowa beats Michigan State, the Hawkeyes will represent the Big Ten in Pasadena. If Ohio State wins next week and Iowa loses, the Buckeyes fly to California. "We're still in the race," understated a smiling Bo Schembechler after the game. "That's gratifying. We were poor offensively, yet we won- by 18. That's encouraging." BUT FOR THREE quarters, it looked as though the Ross-Ade stadium jinx would surface again. Michigan had lost three out of the last four contests on the grass in West Lafayette, and the Wolverines found themselves trailing, 10-7, entering the final period. In the fourth quarter, however, Michigan quarterback Steve Smith engineered three straight touchdown drives to put the Wolverines ahead to stay. Early in the quarter, starting at their own 24-yard line, Smith and fullback Stanley Edwards each carried once to advance the ball to the Michigan 42. On a third down and three play, Smith faded back and rifled a pass to split end Vince Bean, which was broken up by Purdue cornerback Robert Williams.'But a yellow flag fell near the fallen Bean and a pass inter- ference call breathed new life into the Michigan drive. Tailback Butch Woolfolk went for three yards to the 26, setting up a touchdown run by Smith. The sophomore quarterback ran the op- tion to the short side of the field, looked to Woolfolk, scooted around end, boun- ced off a Purdue defender at the 10, and scampered into the end zone, putting Michigan up, 14-10. After a Purdue punt, Michigan put together a 67-yard, 13-play drive with Woolfolk twisting over from the one- yard line for the score, padding the Wolverine lead to 21-10. This touchdown march featured a pair of long Smith passes, including a third-down, 27-yard completion to Bean and a fourth-down, 18-yard swing pass to Edwards to add to the Wolverine advanatage. THE FINAL Michigan tally came af- ter a Keith Bostic interception at the Purdue 24-yard line, which he returned to the 14. Three plays later, tailback Lawrence Ricks trotted into the end zone from the five-yard line, making See 'M', Page 10 Daily Photo by BRIAN MASCK Judge clears Ypsilant Charges against an Ypsilanti police officer accused of killing an 18-year-old Ypsilanti man durin'g a late night scuf- fle two weeks ago were dropped Friday. District Court Judge Robert Fink dismissed the charges against Patrolman Michael Rae because, he said, testimony from several witnesses did not agree and there was not suf- ficient reason to believe the crime of manslaughter had been committed. A SPOKESPERSON for the State Police Department, which handled the investigation of the Nov. 1 shooting death of Michael O'Neill, said yester- day that "conflicting statements of the witnesses was the major reason" that Fink cleared Rae, 28, of any criminal wrongdoing. Fink said that Rae acted in self defense when he shot O'Neill after a officer fight in which, according to the testimony of several witnesses, the 18- year-old Ypsilanti man threatened Rae with a car jack handle. Witnesses testified that O'Neill and a friend, James Oethloff, were in- toxicated when Rae, who was off duty at the time, approached them and asked them to move their car which was par- tially blocking Michigan Ave., a busy Ypsilanti thoroughfare. a RAE'S questioning of the two teenagers in the early morning of Nov. 1 led to a shoving match and then a fight between O'Neill, Dethloff, and Rae, witnesses said. Later, as O'Neill ap- proached Rae, threatening him with a jackhandle, Rae fired his service revolver twice, hitting O'Neill with both shots and killing him. Daily Photo by BRIAN MASCK Two con erences two views v Reaganomics works, says economist By MARK GINDIN The economic turnaround President Reagan promised has begun, a noted White House economist said in Ann Ar- bor yesterday. Murray Weidenbaum, chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisors, said that while the results of the Reagan economic policy have not been visible immediately, the changes he administration has made in budget and tax policy are gradually working. WEIDENBAUM claimed that recent improvements in interest rates and in the inflation rate are evidence that the economic conditions in the nation are improving. Weidenbaum made his remarks at a news conference held yesterday after- noon in conjunction with a two-day, University-sponsored symposium. The program, entitled "Sciednce and Policy: Cost-Benefit and Its Limits" is being presented by the Collegiate In- stitute for Values and Science, a unit of LSA. Weidenbaum said he did not think the administration wouldexperience more difficulty dealing with Congress in the wake of recent statements by Budget Director David Stockman. Stockman's controversial statements criticized many key aspects of the ad- ministration's budget and tax policies. "DEALING WITH a bipartisan Congress has never been easy," Weidenbaum said, and Stockman's comments will not make it harder because of the president's power and ifuence. Balancing the budget by 1984 is no See ECONOMIST, Page 5 State must turn to an alternative By FANNIE WEINSTEIN The people of the state of Michigan should reject President Reagan's "Bedtime for Bonzo economics" and' instead embark upon an alternative plan to rebuild the state's struggling economy through reindustrialization, according to the plan's authors who spoke at the Conference on Alternate Economics held here this weekend. The Reagan administration has been unable to bring inflation under control and, as a result, "reaganomics is beginning to come apart," said Dan Luria, co-author with Jack Russell of a so-called "Rational Reindustrialization recovery plan for the state. "IF A POLITICAL movement can be generated, we may find that we really are the alternative for the first time," Luria told the crowd of more than 100 persons gathered in the Michigan Union Ballroom yesterday for the conference, sponsored by the Ann Arbor, Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee. Focusing on Detroit's failing economy, Luria said the city's most pressing problems were that while the city is rapidly losing jobs and population, more than 60 percent of Detroiters receive some type of gover- nment assistance, he said. "It is a developing disaster turning into a sudden and major calamity." TO REVERSE THIS trend Luria claims, at least 100,000 jobs must be created in industries that presently do not have the capability to fulfill this demand. Other components of this reindustrialization plan include con- servation of capital, a better utilization of Detroit's resources, and the See STATE, Page 5 Patient dies after fall from hospital window From Staff and Wire Reports A 23-year-old mental patient, hospitalized for a self-inflicted stab wound, struggled free from an atten- dant yesterday and plunged headfirst to\ his death from a ninth floor University hospital window. Hospital officials said Michael Tabias, of Chelsea, fell five floors to the roof of the hospital's fourth level where two physicians unsuccessfully atem- pted to resuscitate him. DOCTORS SAID it appeared the man died of head injuries. Ann Arbor police officials and the Washtenaw County medical examiner said they would in-, vestigate the death and issue a formal cause later. Tobias had been at the hospital since Nov. 3 for treatment of a self-inflicted knife wound suffered when the man was on a temporary leave from Ypsilanti Hospital, a mental facility where he was a patient. University.Hospital said Tobias also had been a patient there Oct. 18-29 when he was treated for internal burns after he drank ammonia while award at Nor- thville State Hospital. "BECAUSE OF his previous history, a 24-hour sitter attendance had been assigned," a spokesman for the hospital said. The woman attendant said Tobias went to the screenless window in his private room at the hospital about 10:30 a.m. and moved a fan to open the win- dow. The woman said'she closed the window, then unsuccessfully tried to move the man back to his bed. A struggle ensued. Two nurses, aler- ted by the attendant's screams, entered the room to see the woman grasping Tobias by the ankles as he broke free and fell headfirst from the window. TODA [ I Little Nixons ONFIDENCE IN THE student government at the University of Colorado has plummeted because of confessions of election-rigging and a police in- vestigation :inito alleged cocaine buying by cam- pus leaders with student fee money. "They're like little Nixons," said Bill Mullins, a political science major at the university. "I've lost a lot of faith in the student gover- nment. It just doesn't seem like there's any morality." The "whole mess has made me think maybe I ought to think about voting. I didn't use to care, but now I want to know what's going on." Smaller but better army The Army has slimmed its ranks at Fort Eustis, Va., with a special diet and exercise regimen. Maj. Eric Lunde, director of the base's mandatory weight loss program, said Friday the number of fat soldiers on the 10,000-person post shas been reduced from 800 to 350 in one year. Although only 130 soldiers have been required to participate in the T AfPati,1P nrngam so far. unde said the fear of forced in the first four weeks of the program. "He was a big, old hefty sergeant," Lunde said. "He took up running and stuck to the diet religiously." QI Lucky 13 Armand Mellul said he had no money in the bank and the bills were piling up at home. But that was before Friday the 13th, when he won $1 million in the Pennsylvania lottery. "I always thought something was coming. I always had hope," said Mellul, a typewriter repairman from Haddon- field, N.J.

The new nickname, which replaces "Old Pueblo," was selected out of about 4,000 entries Friday. The contest was sponsored by the city's Convention and Visitors Bureau and the daily morning newspaper, the Arizona Daily Star. "We wanted something that was going to be different," said Don Sandstede, one of the judges. "It was the best entry we had-incredible as it may sound." Sandstede said he sup- ported "The Sunshine Factory" because it elicited an image of "a little guy running around like elves or dwarfs, making little sunshines." Q I I
