They don't know what it means, or what the future will hold. But they do know that when less than half the number of candidates that filed for a seat on LSA-SG last year showed nterest in holding an office next year, Whey were taken by surprise. "I REALLY thought we did a pretty good job publicizing the election," said Margaret Talmers, current LSA-SG president. "But, a lot of people didn't file." When last Monday's deadline for candidates to file for the Nov. 15 and 16 election passed, only six had entered the race for presidency, and only 18 for the 15 at-large seats available. Last ear, 58 candidates filed for the same umber of positions. Election coordinator Bruce Goldman, agreed to accept applications from four more candidates after Monday, he said, because a change in the deadline had excluded them. "I JUST think this is one year," Goldman said, explaining he doesn't See FEW, Page 2 Blue halts late Illini drive before record-setting crowd By RON POLLACK Special to the Daily CHAMPAIGN - For 59 minutes and 33 seconds the two teams battled valiantly. For an entire af- ternoon the two squads stormed up and down the field, 869 yards worth. But in the end, it was a single play with only a few ticks left on the clock that decided the outcome of Michigan's 16-10 victory over Illinois yesterday at Memorial Stadium. With 27 seconds left in the game, Illinois (6-3, 5-3 in Big Ten) had a fourth and goal play staring it in the face with the ball resting on the Wolverine two- yard line. UNDER GRAY skies, quarterback Tony Eason stood over center as a record-setting Memorial Stadium crowd of 75,256 rose to its feet in nervous anticipation of the impending play. Eason handed off to Tailback Dwight Beverly who took the ball off right tackle, straight into a wall of Michigan defenders for no gain. "There was nowhere to run," said Wolverine head coach Bo Schembechler as he puffed conten- tly on a victory cigar after his team had raised its record to 7-2, 7-0 in conference play. "He could have been (former Illinois great Red) Grange and he wouldn't have gotten the touchdown." "That was a helluva play," said Michigan linebacker, Mike Boren, who recorded 17 tackles on the afternoon. "That was the game. Our backs wer'e against the wall and we made the play. You don't know how satisfying it was to shut up their stadium. "ALL WEEK (Wolverine defensive coordinator Gary ) Moeller had said it would come down to the last quarter," he continued. "But hell, it came down to that last play. I don't know how much more of this I can take." To get to the Michigan two-yard line, the Illinois had driven 80 yards, 43 of which came through the air. With 1:05 left in the contest Illinois was at the Michigan five and the situation iooked grim for the Wolverines. "The odds are against you and you're scared," said Boren. "When they have four cracks from the five, the odds are against you. THREE PLAYS netted a mere three yards; set- ting up the Illini's futile fourth down play. "It surprised me that they ran," said Boren. "I thought they'd roll out and throw. After the game, I talked to a friend of mine on Illinois and he said it was just a bad last call." Illinois head coach, Mike White, stood by his call after the game. 'I accept the responsibility for the call," he said. "We needed to move the ball short. They were thinking pass; we tried to run." BUT THE Wolverines weren't fooled by the run, as White had hoped. "Once we saw the set they were in, we were an- ticipating run," said Michigan linebacker, Paul Girgash, who was the game's leading tackler with 19. "Until then I thought they'd pass, but the for- mation they ran out of indicated run." "The last play, I got the feeling they were in a stacked defense and knew what the play was," said Illinois' Beverly. 'They were in a goalline defense, the extra man stuntedand hit my leg. I tried to lunge forward. The hole was there - at first. After the play, all the guys from Michigan came around shouting, 'We won, we won!'"' ALTHOUGH THE two teams scored a total of on- ly 26 points, the game began as though it would be the type of offensive circus that usually trans- See 'ILLINI', Page 8 Daily Photo by BRIAN MASCK Michigan tailback Lawrence Ricks gains 13 yards before being hauled down by Illinois' Mark Jones (30) and Archie Carter (84).

Conference gives chance to discuss medical ethics By DAVID SPAK A doctor's life isn't as easy as many people are led to believe. Doctors face difficult and controversial questions almost every day. Society and patients put a great deal of pressure on him of- ten to perform miracles. And then there is the patient who just won't cooperate. Take John Travis, for instance. He suffers from chronic renal (kidney) failure and other ailments because he consistently refused to keep up with various prescribed treatments. John requires dialysis treatment three times a week, but his non-compliance with those trying to treat him has forced two clinics to refer him elsewhere for help. AT THE LAST treatment center available, the doctor told John once again that he must follow the prescribed regimen to be able to live a relatively normal life. But John's con- duct at the clinic became progressively worse. He threatened patients and the staff 'when he showed up for treat- ment-if he showed up at all. Often, he skipped his treatment until the sym- ptoms became unbearable, and then showed up drunk. Once, the staff found him injecting an unidentified drug into his system. The problem became so bad that John's doctor confronted him several times, the last time asking, "How do you expect me to care for you when you don't care for yourslef?" To which John said, "You've got to give me dialysis when I want it, doctor, because there isn't anyone else who will do it, and I need it to live.'' What should the doctor do? Can he ethically refuse to treat a patient? This is one hypothetical case discussed at the tenth Conference on Ethics, Humanism, and Medicine held yesterday at the School of Public Health Building. THE CONFERENCE is designed to promote "a little more awareness of what is involved in the area of biomedical ethics in a University set- ting," according to Gwynedd Warren, the program director for the conferen- ce. But the conference is not designed to provide definitive answers to the questions raised. Instead, the time is designed for "an exercise in analytical thinking," Warren said. To do this, participants are only allowed to choose two of the four topics offered each conference. They have See CONFERENCE, Page 3 GOP head is certain Reagan " will seek re-election in 1984 Daily Photo by LISA CHRISTIE Save the whales Kyle Heger (left), Jennifer Leehey (center), and Linda Schendler (right), man the checkpoint booth for participants in yesterday's Greenpeace Walkathon. WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Paul Laxalt, selected by President Reagan to head the Republican National Com- mittee, said yesterday he is convinced that Reagan will seek re-election in 1984. , "I got a clear enough signal to satisfy me," Laxalt told an administration of- ficial. That "signal," the senator said, followed his declaration to the president that he would refuse the post if Reagan would not run again. EMERGING from the White House with Richards yesterday, Laxalt said he told the luncheon guests that while Reagan had given him no formal com- mitment, "my political instincts told me he would be a candidate." The president's response, "He smiled," Laxalt said. But Laxalt acknowledged that uncer- tainty over the nation's unemployment rate, now at a 42-year record of 10.4 percent, could stay the president's decision. THE CHOICE of Laxalt was seen by one administration official as evidence the president was assembling a re- election team, and the senator's com- ments sent the strongest signal yet that Reagan would run again. As he entered the White House grounds for a lunch with the president, Laxalt said the president had not told him what political course would be chosen. "I'll be frank to tell you that if I per- sonally didn't think that he was going to be a candidate, I wouldn't be accepting this position." WHILE REAGAN has never stated that he intends to seek re-election in two years, the 71-year-old president has been sending out signals that he might decide to seek a second term. However, Reagan is following a cautious path. An early declaration of re-election bid would risk tainting every step he takes with allegations of political motives and force many activities into categories regulated by campaign See GOP, Page 2 Who willfill Brezhnev's shoes Expert picks three candidates . WASHINGTON (AP) - The cloak of leadership now worn by ailing and aging Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev is likely to drop soon on the shoulders of a Soviet bureaucrat named Andropov or Chernenko or Grishin, says one of the U.S. government's top Kremlin watchers. The the chances are that Brezhnev's successor, likely to be chosen from the elderly band of men at the top of the Soviet leadership, will not rule longer than the end of the decade, said State Department Soviet expert Paul Cook. APPEARING to imply that the 75- year-old Soviet leader wil be president until his death, Cook said, "The odds are that when Brezhnev will depart the scene he will do so with his boots on," not by stepping into voluntary retirement, Cook said. In a report prepared for publication by the Congressional Joint Economic Committee, Cook said the odds are also that Brezhnev's successor will be chosen from the ranks of the 12 men - averaging 69 years of age - who serve as full members of the Soviet Politburo. Of those 12, Cook listed three men as prime candidates: Yuriy Adnropov, 68, who resigned as head of the KGB in May to return to the party Secretariat; See WHICH, Page 2 h.
