Vol. XCIII, No. 99 Copyright 1983, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan-Sunday, January 30, 1983 Ten Cents Eight Pages Harper, Ilini 'blow past weary '', 87-74 By LARRY MISHKIN Apparently the Michigan Wolverines lost more than just a basketball game when they dropped a triple-overtime decision to Purdue on Thursday. That 55-minute marathon also cost Michigan the endurance it needed in the last 10 minutes of yesterday's 87-74 loss to Illinois before 12,876 fans and a regional television audience. THE TURNING point in the contest came with almost nine minutes left and the Wolverines up, 58-56. Richard r Rellford, off a pass from Eric Turner made a move toward the basket, but in- stead of scoring picked up his fifth per- sonal foul on a charging call. A Derek Harper layup knotted the score and Illinois then outscored Michigan, 7-2, over the next three minutes. The Wolverines never got closer than six the rest of the way. "We played tired and fatigued in the last 10 minutes," said head coach Bill Frieder. "We had a four-point lead with eight minutes left and we let it get away too easily. They took advantage of our turnovers and we couldn't get it together." During the first 12 minutes of the second half, the two teams traded the lead back and forth several times. During that stretch, Turner, who was Michigan's high scorer with 25 points, hit two three-point shots and Dan Pelekoudas, starting in place of the in- jured Leslie Rockymore, netted one also. But Rellford's foul seemed to take the life out of the Wolverines. "IT WAS a bad call," said a disap- pointed Rellford, who was the team's lead- ing rebounder with five. "I came down off my shot and, (the referee) called a charge. I didn't touch-Harper.

Private plane warne naigAir Force naiget' Reagan's 1984 budget proposes cuts in benefits to the poor and elderly - in- cluding welfare, food stamps, and Medicare - along with a spending freeze in hundreds of domestic. programs to help make room for a $30 billion boost for the Pentagon. Reagan's emphasis on guns over but- ter drew sharp rebukes over the weekend from leading congressional Republicans and Democrats, who vowed that Congress would reorder priorities somewhat by taking from defense to protect many social programs. "OUR BUDGET IS fair and realistic," Reagan said yesterday in his weekly radio address to the nation. "It's a budget that will position America to take full advantage of the economic recovery.'' But .en. Edward Kennedy (D- Mass.) a -gued that Reagan's proposals for reducing federal health care costs are "the newest example of the ad- ministration's continuing insensitivity and unfairness toward workers and the elderly." Reagan's $848.5 billion budget plan for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1 would curtail spending on subsidized housing, meal subsidies for children, Aid to Families with Dependent Children and food stamps; postpone cost-of-living increases in benefits for NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - Air traffic controllers were trying to guide a private plane out of restricted military air space just before the craft with seven aboard collided with an Air National Guard jet and disappeared. A Federal Aviation Administration tape recording and transcript of the conversation between an FAA control center and the Beechcraft BE-55 showed that controllers warned the private pilot that military jets were tailing him just before the crash off the North Carolina coast. THE SMALL PLANE, piloted by a Virginia attorney from Nassau in the Bahamas, was en route to Norfolk, Va., when the accident occurred Jan. 9 at 4:46 p.m. The private plane disappeared after the mid-air collision over the Atlantic Ocean about 40 miles southeast of Jacksonville, N.C., and its seven oc- cupants were presumed killed. The Air National Guard plane landed safely with wing damage and its two-man crew was not injured. The transcript shows the private plane's pilot, Henry Tiffany, of Waynesboro, Va., received the warning about four minutes before the collision. tiffany had veered off course because of poor weather and had inadvertently wandered into restricted air space, authorities s t See EFFORTS, Page 3 'Celebration of Life' aids the blind and disabled, and increase out-of-pocket medical costs paid by people covered by Medicare and Medicaid. THE BUDGET, which is .to be released formally tomorrow, also proposes to hold total spending on an array of other domestic programs - when lumped together - at 1983 levels Although spending on individual programs might rise, fall, or stay the same, total spending would be $115 billion, compared with $116 billion this year. Overall, the budget calls for a $43'3 billion increase in'spending over 1983, with nearly three-quarters going to the Defense Department, which would see its spending ceiling rise from $2089 billion this year to $238.6 billion in 1984.. Speaking to a group of columnists o Friday, Reagan said he was "as stub- born as I always was" about seeking certain cuts in domestic programs. WHITE HOUSE Chief of Staff James Baker said the president will remain firm on his defense increases. Reagan "is not prepared to start bargaining 'n that figure," Baker said. Details of other spending plans were not made available yesterday, but ad- ministration officials conceded there would be modest reductions in some programs for the poor.

"It's not unfair to assume that if any power is capable of influence over Israel, the U.S. should be the one," said Ahmad Al-Hoss, the Lebanese prime minister from 1976 to 1980. THE FORMER prime minister spoke at a conference titled "In Search of a Near East Settlement: The Aftermath of Lebanon '82" which was sponsored by the University and Easten Michigan University chapter of the Organization of Arab Students.s' Al-Hoss said the United States, as a helpful and sympathetic partner.to Israel, can help reduce the tension and doubt that surrounds the negotiaions currently being held in that country. Al-Hoss said Lebanon's problem and the Mideast problem are inseparable. The Arab unrest, he said, has provided a catalyst to the "ever-festering domestic problem" in that country. That problem, he said, may some day lead Lebanon to become separate mini- See SPEAKERS, Page 2 anti-nuclear movement By HALLE CZECHOWSKI Singers, dancers, speakers, and per- formers came together at the Michigan Union last night to celebrate life and ' protest the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Concerned that the Reagan admin- istration is maneuvering the world into an arms race and turning space into a battlefield, Lynn Eden, a local activist, said "With perseverance we will turn the arms race around, and tonight is part of that." "I HOPE IT (the benefit) inspires all of us to work for peace, to work for a better world," Eden said to the ap- proximately 500 people gathered in the Union Ballroom. The benefit was organized to raise money for several anti-nuclear organizations, the Interfaith Council for Peace, Michigan Nuclear Weapons Freeze, and Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. Dancer Whitley Setrakean and her 3- year-old daughter, Maya lightened the mood by presenting a dance about parents concern for their child in a nuclear age. The audience responded to Maya with great exuberance. THE UNIVERSITY Mime Troupe also performed, presenting a piece n the violent nature of man's evolution. Many audience members said they were surprised that it had a happy en- ding.

Bryant Gumbel of the Today Show is seated in the lobby, chewing on his fingernails as he waits to interview Washington Redskins Quarterback Joe Theismann. Dozens of Redskins fans, rowdy from a day of non-stop partying, are swilling Budweisers and pawing the grid iron gods who just arrived from practice. "KILL 'EM SUNDAY, Charlie Brown," a beer-bold disciple screams at the Washington wide receiver. The action has been no less frenzied at the Miami Dolphins camp headquar- tered at the Marriott Hotel in New Port Beach. On Tuesday night, for instance, the hotel's Main Brace Lounge was jam- med with more than 200 people at 9:30 p.m. By evenings end club supervisor Mark Carlson predicted 100 quarts of liquor and 25 cases of beer would be consumed. SUPERBOWL WEEK is obviously super-profitable for the two Orange Coast hotels playing host to the NFC and AFC champions. Each is booked solid. Together, that's 800 rooms holding about 2,600 people. Combined gross revenues probably will eclipse $3 million. As of Friday, the folks whooping it up at the SouthhCoast Plaza had already gone through 800 cases of eggs, 100 cases of booze, 400 cases of brew, and 30 cases of wine. Telephone operators from both hotels will probably handle 10,000 to 15,000 calls by week'seend.

TODAY Reagan sees the light EVERYONE KNOWS celebrities can help sell a product. But a Phoenix toy company received the ultimate endorsement on Friday when Presi- dent Reagan used one of the company's new toys to show he sees an end to the country's economic woes. During a closed meeting, Reagan held up "The Light at the End of the Tunnel," a five-by-five toy tunnel with a Wolverton; this includes food prices. Wolverton, owner of Monroe Meats and Discount Grocery is trying to enlist other merchants in his fight against distributors who raise prices. When a beer distributor came in recently and told Wolverton the price for a popular brand of beer was going up by 85 cents, he said it didn't bother him. "The minute that happened I was going to be an ex-customer." Wolver- ton says he is only observing "Jack's Law of Diminishing Returns," which says that when one distributor raises prices, others will follow suit.
