Vol. XCIII, No. 121 Copyright 1983, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan - Sunday, March 6, 1983 Ten Cents Eight Pages Gophers go as Breuer rejects Wolverines Salvadorans prepare for pope's visit By JESSE BARKIN Special to the Daily MINNEAPOLIS-They may not have as much notoriety or pizzaz as the Houston Cougar fraternity Phi Slamma Jamma, but the brothers. of Min- nesota's Breuer-Blocka-Youa invited the Wolverines into their house and rejected the young Michigan hopefuls. Fraternity president, and 7-3 center, Randy Breuer blocked nine shots and intimidated would-be Wolverine scorers to lead Minnesota to a highly entertaining 88-75 whipping of Michigan yesterday. IT WAS SENIOR Breuer's final game in front of the packed-house crowd of 16,791 Gopher partisans, and when the big man was taken out of the game with 38 seconds remaining, the roof came down amidst an ear-shattering two- minute standing Breu-vation. "He was awesome," said Michigan coach Bill Frieder after the game.' "When you've got a guy 7-3, that works hard, plays defense, scores and blocks shots, you've got a real gem. Defen- sively, he did a tremendous job. We tried to take it inside on them and they swatted it away." . Breuer also had 17 points and grab- bed 10 rebounds to go with his blocks. Most of the swatting came in the first half, as Breuer had seven to go with four from reserve forward Jim Peter- sen, as Minnesota took control of the game midway through the half. THE WOLVERINES came out strong behind the 'inside scoring of center Tim McCormick, who had 17 of his game- high 24 points in the period, and took a 25-21 lead. But just as in Wednesday's loss at Wisconsin, the Wolverine offense broke down and stopped being able to penetrate the Gopher zone defense. "We put more pressure out on the ball in the zone," explained Minnesota coach Jim Dutcher. "When we pressured them (outside) they didn't have as much time to see the inside. We forced them to dribble." Meanwhile, the Gopher offense awoke and Minnesota sizzled with a 21-4 run midway through the half, which gave the team a 36-25 lead. Petersen and Roland Brooks, who scored 11 of his 14 in the first half, each scored two con- secutive buckets and it was off to the races for the Gophers.

U.S. intervention could lead to a regional explosion, the statement quoted the Nicaraguans as saying. THE STATEMENT was given to reporters aboard the papal plane as the pope flew into Panama City from Costa Rica on the fourth day of his eight- nation tour of Central America and Haiti. His reception in Panama contrasted sharply with the raucous events he ex- perienced in Nicaragua, where progovernment activists drowned out his homily with chants of "We want peace.,, French Connection Student Kandis Davis models a Parisian-style Elegance fashion show, presented last night by Council.

Financial aid: By BARBARA MISLE A year ago, 7500 students marched on Capitol Hill to protest the Reagan administration's proposed cuts for financial aid. The press described the demonstration as "massive," calling it a revival of the war protest spirit of the '60s. Actually, the movement never came close to war era activism. Tomorrow, when students are supposed to gather again in Washington to demonstrate for financial aid and the repeal of a law that links aid to draft registration, less than half as many as last year are expected to show up - and not a single representative of the University of Michigan will be there. LAST YEAR's protests were sparked by Reagan's proposals to eliminate three federal aid programs. Student lobbying efforts were partly responsible for blocking the cuts in Congress.. This year, students are not as alarmed about 'A lot of fighting took place last year for the cuts and people are tired this year, they have sat back and become complacent.' - Randy Hayman, LSA sophomore Reagan's proposed restructuring of federal aid programs for 1984-85, which will stiffen the requirements for students to become eligible for grants and loans. In comparison to last year's financial aid scare, when programs were expected to go to zero, Reagan's modified proposals for 1984-85 have gone seemingly unnoticed among higher education officials. This lack of response is dangerous, however, because the proposed changes could have an even greater effect on students than last year's proposed cuts, said Kathy Ozer, an organizer of the conference, called National Student Action and Lobby Day. IF APPROVED, the 1984 budget proposal would collapse three federally funded student aid programs into one "Self-Help Grant" program, which would require students to pay 40 percent of the costs of attending school - a minimum of $800 - to qualify for federal funds. The three programs to be eliminated are the Pell Grant, the Supplemental Educational Op- portunity Grant, and the National Direct Student Loan. In effect, the "Self-Help Grant" increases the Hayman ... testified before Congress Michigras planners promise week of fun u ing? amount of money students can receive, but decreases the number of students who are eligible. ALTHOUGH THE appropriations will be the same, from the 1983 to the 1984 school year, the restructuring of the programs would severely affect middle-income students, said Thomas Butts, the University's Washington lobbyist. Butts said the 1984-85 budget proposals are misleading because overall there has been a 20 percent reduction in federal student aid since 1980. Right now, federal aid makes up only 50 er- cent of students aid package compared to 1981 when it covered two-thirds. "REAGAN HAS not changed his philosophy but modified his methods," Butts said. "He is still in line with the long-term goal to cut federal funding to education."

In hisyfinal campaign speech yester- day, Social Democrat challenger Hans- Jochen Vogel called the arms race "an intolerable scandal" and urged voters to give him a mandate "to do everyting possible to make the stationing of fur- ther U.S. missiles superflous." CHANCELLOR Helmut Kohl said during his final campaign appearance that a vote for his conservative Christian Demeratic Union would show MASCK West Germans "want to remain a part of the Western world."

GERMANS, Page 2 By TRACEY MILLER Students will have a chance to eat, drink and be wildly merry en masse beginning tomorrow when the Univer- sity Activities Center kicks off the first day of Michigras 1983. The annual carnival, which will run throughout the early morning hours of Sunday, March 12, is designed to "bring the spirit of fun back to the University," said Michigras chairperson Terry Grumer. "IT'S REALLY an all-campus par- ty," she said. "UAC is trying to get students to realize there is a lot to do here." In recent years, Michigras has been shortened to a single day or evening of activity. But Grumer said this year's celebration will be more reminiscent of those held during the early 1970s. "We wanted to bring back the car- nival atmosphere of the event that oc- curred with Michigras over ten years ago," Grumer said. TO ENCOURAGE campus-wide in- volvement, UAC members will be distributing buttons, balloons, and t- shirts throughout the week. A film festival tomorrow at the Modern Languages Building will be the first formal activity of the week. Festivities will move to the University Club Tuesday for the weekly Reggae Night, complete with a live band. A multi-bar beer chugging contest will be staged Wednesday night at Dooley's, Second Chance, the U-Club, Charlie's, the Count of Antipasto, and Rick's American Cafe. Winners at each of the bars will compete against one another in a chug-off Saturday night at the Michigan Union. TEAMS OF students will compete for t-shirts Thursday afternoon during a pizza-eating contest at the Union. Later on that night, judges from recording production companies will listen to competing musical groups in a "battle of the bands," which will continue through Saturday. Clowns and jugglers will entertain passers-by on the Diag Friday and local bars will feature a number of happy hour specials. The evening's highlight will be a roast of President Harold Shapiro by a panel of administrators, faculty and student leaders.
