'M' claws NU, 68-51 By LARRY FREED At the beginning of the season Bill Frieder warned the press and fans not to be overly optimistic about his young team's fortunes in the Big Ten. Then he warned his players not to be too excited after their upset win over the highly-regarded Georgia Bulldogs. AFTER LAST night's conference opening 68-51 victory over Northwestern, the talent-laden Wolverines served war- ning to the rest of the league. Okay, so it was Northwestern, but as they say, a win is a win. More importantly, Frieder wanted to prevent a night- marish repeat of last season's conference-opening loss to the Wildcats. "MICHIGAN IS A good ball club," said downcast North- western coach Rich Falk. "I think they played very well tonight. They're talented and they have an excellent chance in the race." Two big reasons for the Wolverines' prominence in the Big Ten shined in their debuts last night. The first, Eric Turner, had an opening night of sorts as he returned from a back injury that severely limited his play over the last month. He showed no signs of the injury last night. In fact, the vanished pain in the 6-3 guard's back seemed to transform itself into a bigger pain a little lower down in Falk's anatomy. ON THE EVENING, Turner registered 16 points, seven assists and four rebounds. The outing pleased both the Flint native and his coach. "It was like the first college game jitters all over again," Turner said. "I knew a lot of eyes would be watching me carefully, and it felt good to get back and play well. It was definitely my best game of the year." Wolverine gu points in last See WOLVERINES, Page 10 both schools. El Salvador bows to U.S. pressure on human rights SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) - The removal from Salvador of two of- ficers linked to rightist death squads is an "encouraging sign" that the Salvadoran military is complying with U.S. demands to clean up its human rights record, an American official said yesterday. The military high command bowed to U.S. government pressure at a time when the war against leftist guerrillas is going badly for government troops. STATE Department officials in Washington say they are preparing requests to Congress for substantial in- creases in military aid for El Salvador. They say, however, that the increase will not be granted unless the Salvadoran government cracks down on right-wing death squads and improves its record on human rights. The two officers reassigned to posts outside of El Salvador were identified by a government official late Wed- nesday as Lt. Col. Aristides Alfonso Marquez, former national police in- telligence chief, and Maj. Jose Ricardo Pozo, former treasury police in- telligence chief. In November the two were tran- sferred from their intelligence positions to field assignments in the country, when critics of the death squad activity had hoped they would be sent out of El Salvador. The U.S. official here, who spoke on condition he not be named, earlier said U.S. demands included "long trips" for specified civilians and military men believed to be leaders of the death squad activity. THE reassignments of Marquez and Pozo are the first sign that the demand may be carried out. Vice President George Bush, who brought a list of names here in Decem- ber, warned during his visit that the government would lose U.S. support if action was not taken against the death squads. It was not known how many names were on the list. The rightist squads are blamed for the deaths of most of the 39,000 civilians killed during the war between leftist guerrillas and the U.S.-supported con- servative government. U.S. officials claim the squads are composed in part of off-duty or retired military members. There are also allegations that the squads are financed by wealthy Salvadorans living in Miami and elsewhere abroad. The Reagan administration is preparing a report, to be presented later this month, on human rights and reforms in El Salvador. The report would take the place of the certification process in effect for the previous two years. President Reagan vetoed Congress' attempt last fall to extend its requirement that human rights progress be certified for American military aid to continue. The Kissinger Commission on Cen- tral America is expected to tell President Reagan that $1 billion in U.S. economic and military aid - coupled with free elections - are the keys to peace and prosperity in the region in the coming years, U.S. officials say. THE REPORT is to be completed next Tuesday, but it was not clear whether the members, representing a range of political views, will be able to reach a consensus on all issues, the of- ficials said. They added that the commission is still far from finishing its work, raising See EL SALVADOR, Page 3 Daily Photo by DAN HABIB ard Eric Turner drives past Northwestern's Art Aaron for two of his game-high 16 night's 68-51 Michigan victory at Crisler Arena.

Students John Houghton and Mark Gorge and Ann Arbor resident Roy Shelef are the first in recent years to be officially charged with scalping, said Washtenaw County prosecutor Robert Cooper. ALL THREE were arrested after Ann Arbor police officers purchased tickets from them for fees ranging between $45 and $60 apiece - prices well above the $13 face value of the tickets. Shelef, an employee of American En- tertainment Services, was arrested on warrant on December 22 for allegedly selling four tickets to officers for $180. Police reports say the transaction was made November 17 in the parking lot of the Big Ten party store on Packard. Police used telephone numbers listed in classified advertisements in the Daily and the Ann Arbor News to con- tact Houghton, who allegedly sold four tickets to oficers for $60 each. Houghton was arrested on warrant on December 15. GORGE, OWNER of E=Z Ticket Sales, is accused of selling four tickets to officers for over $200 the same day, despite Flynn's efforts to pay for them.

Perhaps the most controversial of this year's ballot offerings is a proposal to make Ann Arbor a "Nuclear-Free Zone." The motion would prohibit most for- ms of research and development with nuclear applications within the city limits and also outlaw storing and tran- sporting nuclear materials in Ann Ar- bor. PROPONENTS OF the Nuclear-Free Zone have collected more than the 5,000 resident signatures necessary to place See CONTROVERSIAL, Page 2 AP Photo.
