Vol. )CI, No. 58 Copyright 1980, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan-Sunday, November 9, 1980 Ten Cents Ten Pages n: olvermes Damage minimal ofrom Cal. tremor From AP and UPI EUREKA, Calif.-The most powerful earthquake in Northern California in more than a half-century shook a 500- mile stretch of the Pacific Coast early yesterday, causing widespread damage, but no known deaths. A freeway bridge collapsed, hurling two vehicles 30 feet to the ground and injuring six persons. SOME HOUSES SHIFTED off their foundations, power lines were broken, windows shattered and goods scattered in stores. The quake struck at 2:28 a.m. and was centered 20 miles northwest of rural Eureka, according to government seismologists. It had a Richter magnitude of 7. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was the most powerful in the quake-prone northern California area since 1923. The last quake that strong in the continental United States occurred Oct. 15, 197J, near El Centro, Calif. THE LAST STRONGER tremor in the lower 48 states occurred Aug. 17, 1959, in Montana, with a magnitude See MAJOR, Page 2 wolverines start slow, roil over Badgers 2- AP Photo TWO VEHICLES FELL MORE than 30 feet, and six passengers were injured when an overpass near Eureka, Cal. gave way during an earthquake early yesterday. Aside from the overpass, the quake caused minor, but widespread, damage. By MARK MIHANOVIC Special to the Daily MADISON-Despite a lackluster of- fense that failed to register a first down, through the first quarter-and-a-half of play, Michigan shut out the host Wisconsin Badgers, 24-0 yesterday. The Wolverines remain tied for the Big Ten lead with a 6-0 conference State (7-2 overall), with showdowns against co-leaders Purdue and Ohio State looming ahead. MICHIGAN'S ground attack, which had been averaging more than 300 yar- ds per contest in the past five weeks, never really got untracked against the stiff Wisconsin defense. TheWolverines rushed for 178 yards including 83 from fullback Stanley, Edwards and ac- cumulated only 260 yards in totaroffen- se. Bo Schembechler said the underrated opposition had something to do with those unusually small Michigan num- bers. "I wouldn't call this a great per- formance," he said afterwards. "But make no mistake about one thing: the Wisconsin defense is as good as any in this conference, as good as the next couple we're going to play." However, the Wolverine offense was able to penetrate that defense with a long third-quarter march that sealed the outcome. Wisconsin received the second-half kickoff while behind by a 10-0 score and had to punt after its of- fense couldn't move past its own 35- yard line. MICHIGAN TOOK the ball on its 39 and ate up more than seven minutes of the clock while driving 61 yards in 15 plays (all on the ground) to score. Lawrence Ricks rambled for 36 yards in the march, with Edwards garnering 14. The duo brought the ball to the Wisconsin five, where tailback Butch Woolfolk slammed into a Wisconsin brick wall for only a yard to the four, setting up, a fourth-and-one situation. Then the boisterous Badger crowd of 69,560 decided that it wanted to do its part for the Badger cause. The student section behind the goalpost began screaming at a. fever pitch and Blue quarterback John Wangler, claiming his team couldn't hear, refused to call the signals. After a couple of warnings, the officials charged the Badgers with a timeout. And another. And another.

Oakland County Circuit Judge Richard Kuhn refused late Friday to issue a temporary injunction barring today's meeting. "HE SAID WE can undo whatever they do this weekend," said state Assistant Attorney General Debra Devine after the hearing. In the lawsuit, the Attorney General's Office charged that today's meeting and other closed meetings held by the school's Board of Control to, discuss and interview job candidates violated the state's open meetings law. Devine said the board acted illegally last month in dividing into small groups-each of which chid not make up a quorum-to conduct private interviews of presidential nominees. SHE ALSO SAID the board had illegally discussed the merits of various candidates at meeting purpor- tedly held merely to review applications from those who had requested confidentiality. "All they've done is create a sham by saying, 'Well, we don't have a quorum in the same room; therefore, we're not subject to the open meetings act," Devine said. "There's no bad faith on the part of the board. They just have a different interpretation." The 1976 law allows closed sessions only to review confidential employment applications, she said. In- terview sessions must be held in public. STATE OFFICIALS said today's closed meeting was scheduled to interview the final three candidates for the presidency of the 12,000-student school located in Rochester. Former Oakland University President Donald O'Dowd resigned in December from the $60,000-a- year job. The school started looking for a new president in February and said they hoped to fill the post by December. School officials have declined comment on the lawsuit. A show-cause hearing on the request that future meetings be open to the public was scheduled later this week in Oakland County circuit court. University of Michigan Regents held similar sessions in their search for a president that lasted from September 1978 through July 1979. Individual and small groups of Regents visited potential presidential candidates during the course of the search. As the search wound down, Regents in- terviewed approximately six of the final candidates, claiming the closed meetings were legal under an Open Meetings Act provision that exempts board discussion of personnel. Also under current contention here is whether meetings of the Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics must be open under the act. Former Iranian official jailed after speech BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP)-Former Iranian Foreign Minister Sadegh Ghot- bzadeh, a moderate who advocated quick release of the U.S. hostages, has been arrested in Tehran for criticizing government officials and the militants who hold the American captives, Iran said yesterday. Officials said the 47-year-old former minister was taken to Evin Prison, on the outskirts of the city. For 20 years during the reign of the late Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Ghotbzadeh had avoided the jail by living abroad, where he supported the exiled Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and his revolutionary plans. Pars news agency said Ghotbzadeh was arrested "after his provocative television speech" Thursday night. The agency quoted an announcement of the Islamic revolutionary court's public Affirmative action programs spur debate By CLAUDIA CENTOMINI Whether affirmative action ,programs in medical school admissions provide grounds for racial anger or are necessary to compensate past social in- jury was the subject of vigorous debate yesterday in the School of Public Health Building. About 80 persons heard University Philosophy Prof. Carl Cohen square off against Dr. H. Jack Geiger, a member of the medical school admissions com- mittee at City College of New York on the topic "Affirmative Action in Medical School admissions." The debate was part of a conference spon- sored by the student-run Committee on Ethics, Humanism, and Medicine. "TO PREFER people on the basis of race is morally wrong," asserted Cohen, who argued that race should not be considered in admissions decisions. Affirmative action programs, Cohen said, are unwise because they can "provide for the seeds of racial anger and tension." Geiger countered that minorities are by and large deprived and deserve compensation for past injury. Medical school admissions are "a stacked deck biased by social class," Geiger said. HE ADDED that an examination of what prospective doctors plan to do after completing medical school is "a power- ful reason for admission." Minority medical students tend to work in areas where there is a serious need for doc- tors, Geiger said. Cohen said he believes the problem of social deprivation and past injury should be left to the legislatures to correct, perhaps through allocations to decaying school systems. "To provide compensatory relief is not the business of the medical school," Cohen said. Conference participants heard three other debates yesterday, including "Drug Testing in Prisons," "The Decision to Resuscitate," and "Treating Children Without Parental Consent." Ghotbzadeh .. criticized militants relations-office as saying Ghotbzadeh spoke about "the conditions of Iranian radio and television, revolutionary organizations, and the Moslem students following th? Imam Khomeini's line." The last item was a reference to the militant Iranians who seized the American staff at the U.S. Embassy Nov. 4, 1979.
