N5 State, 24-14 in front of 90,252 delirious See BUCKS, fans. Michigan quarterback Steve Smith threw three interceptions and fumbled the ball twice, while Flanker Anthony ; Carter committed the crucial turnover which led to the game-winning touch- , down midway through the fourth quar- er. The Wolverines squandered scoring opportunities, enhanced new ones for the Buckeyes, and rankled their coach, Bo Schembechler. "WE JUST gave them the ball game, y' growled Schembechler after the game. "We just handed it to them. We didn't lose it, we gave it away." Of all the miscues, none was more crucial than Carter's fumble on the Wolverine 14-yard line with 7:40 remaining in the game. The senior &speedster, playing the trailing back in a newly-instituted option play, was hit as soon as he received a pitch from Smith and coughed up the ball to Ohio State defensive back Doug Hill. Buckeye tailback Tim Spencer then capped a quick three-play drive with a one-yard touchdown dive to put Ohio State on top, 21-14 with 6:21 remaining. Ohio State tailback Tim Spencer dives over the goal line in the fourth quarter to give the Buckeyes a 21-14 lead, and as it turned out, the game. Spencer ripped the Michigan defense for 124 yards and clinched the Big Ten rushing title in the process. On the sideline (insert), the Buckeyes celebrate their first touchdown.

And support for the famous Black Action Movement student strike essentially shut down the University for about two weeks. Since then, the activism hasn't been nearly as strong. But some black students today are trying to revive the spirit of BAM. AT A teach-in yesterday entitled "Twelve years after BAM and on . . .," the Black Student Union invited experts and students to remember the historic strike, and discuss the *future of blacks at the University. "The bottom line is that after the teach-in and preach-in, it is very important that some concrete strategies are made," said Walter Allen, professor of sociology and the Center for Afroamerican and African Studies, and one of the speakers. Students are "in a position to change the situation," he said. Natural Resources Professor Bunyan Bryant stressed the importance of making people aware of the problem. "When blacks and minorities are the most vocal,l at least some whites tuck in their racism," he said. 'When blacks and minorities are the most vocal, at least some whites tuck in their racism. When you don't have that support, the racism becomes much more blatant.' Bunyan Bryant, Natural Resources professor "When you don't have that support, the racism becomes much more blatant." IN THE keynote address given Friday night, speaker Ernie Allen, head of W.E.B. DuBois department at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, also discussed the problems resulting from a lack of com- munication. "We have few institutional links in terms of passing information from generation to generation," he said. "We have not developed those institutions that will teach how to struggle, which forms are successful, and which are not." Before Allen's speech Friday, Political Science Teaching Assistant Tony Carrasco gave a pre-keynote address, citing the "moral responsibility" every student has to learn "what BAM was all about," YESTERDAY'S events consisted of four workshops, held at East Quad, which focused on South Africa, the history of the BAM strike, racism at the University, and the state of black America. About 80 people attended and approximately one third of them were not black. Although that number is small compared to those who supported the BAM strike, Allen said the turnout was impressive. "Really, you have a sizeable contingent," he said. "I know the talent (of the teach-in organizers)-it's See TEACH-IN, Page 13 BULLETIN Four convicts escaped late last night from Ann Arbor's Washtenaw County Jail on Hogback Rd., according to spokesman Mark Ptaszck. Tax breaks benefit wealthy study sa ys From AP and UPI WASHINGTON- Ninety-four per- cent of the money from federal income tax breaks goes to only 4.4 percent of the nation's taxpayers-those earning more than $50,000 a year-according to a study conducted by the Treasury Department. The study, according to Rep. Henry Reuss (D-Wis.) who released the figures, shows that some revenue losses resulting from tax breaks provided un- der existing law "have exceedingly regressive impacts on our tax system.' The Treasury study ranked the ex- clusion of interest on state and local bonds as the most 'regressive' revenue loss because taxpayers with income of over $50,000 a year get 94.1 percent of the benefits. According to the study, high-income taxpayers also get more than 63 percent of the $13.2 billion worth of tax breaks from long-term capital gains on other than home sales. WHILE THE study indicated that these and certain other tax credits benefit high-income taxpayers more than others, they do not result in the biggest tax losses to the federal gover- nment. Reuss also noted that taxpayers with See FEDERAL, Page 6 Daily Photo by LISA CHRISTIE Speaking at BSU teach-in yesterday, (left to right) Shirley Burgoyne, Avis Stubbs, Bunyan Bryant and Leonard Corbin called for greater student awareness of the BAM strike twelve years ago. Domestic autos Smatch forei*gn car mileage DETROIT (UPI) - Imported cars run successfully on their fuel-efficient reputations, but statistics show 1983 domestic autos get better gas mileage than foreign cars in almost every weight category. Each year, the Environmental Protection Agency divides all passen- ger cars - domestic and foreign - into 23 weight classes that range from 2,000 pounds to 5,500 pounds. In six weight classes there is no direct competition between domestic and foreign cars. For example, there are no American-made autos in the two lightest weight gas-engine classses, which include the Civic and Starlet. Likewise, there are no foreign autos in the heaviest weight categories. In 17 categories, however, a direct comparison can be made. Of these autos, foreign makes win the fuel economy race in only one weight class- 3,375 pounds, where the MPG average of the Toyota Cressida and Datsun 280ZX beat out autos like the Ford LTD and AMC Concord. One year ago, the EPA's chart showed direct competition in weight classes. Domestics were ahead in 14, one was a tie and foreign cars took one class. "The message is very clear," claims Ford Motor Co. analyst L. Raymond Windecker. "In the mass markets, domestic cars give the best fuel economy choice." Windecker said the EPA statistics directly contradict the long-held per- ception by most Americans that foreign cars get better mileage. He said this has not been true since the end of the 1970s. "Even five years ago, we used to break even on the weight classes," he said. Studies show fuel economy is one of the most important considerations for the new car buyers of the 1980s. It is the top or No. 2 consideration of small-car buyers and mid-size and large car pur- chasers say they also take miles per gallon into account. ThtTODAY That fresh-baked aroma JURY OF Clarion, Iowa didn't award a cent to a bakery owner whose stock was ruined by a stuck skunk. The Wright County District Court jury decided that Larry Conlon wasn't entitled to damages from the city of Clarion, population 2,900, or from police officer John Ofstethun, who was forced to shoot the wild animal. The skunk became wedged in the front door of -the downtown bakery on Oct. 10, 1981, when a boy noticed that it was following him inside and shut the door on its foot, 'Unsavory' research R ESEARCHERS WITH stopwatches and notebooks have taken up positions in school restrooms in a $45,000 study to see whether Florida is flushing money down the drain by building too many toilets. "It borders on an in- vasion of privacy," said Tallahassee Community College faculty member Brian Dunmyer. "What they did wasn't very subtle," said the college's president, Fred Turner. State officials say the study, funded by the 1981 Legislature, could save taxpayers money if it concludes that current building codes result in too many bathrooms in public schools. For the current fiscal year, the state has budgeted nesday. Researchers said they considered methods that wouldn't require placing people in bathrooms, like in- stalling flush meters. "Some people don't flush and others flush 30 times,'so that wasn't accurate," White said. "We decided having someone inside was the only way ... and the state agreed. It was not a savory approach, but it was the best one." Students at Florida State and Florida A&M universities earn $5 an hour watching restrooms in elemen- tary and secondary schools, as well as the community college.
