COLUMBUS - Bo Schembechler was
devastated after watching his Wolveri-
nes fall to Ohio State yesterday, 21-6.
"I went into the locker room (at half-
time) and told them we had it," said
Schembechler. "I knew we had it. We
just squandered too many drives."
OHIO STADIUM'S largest crowd
ever, 90,286, watched the Wolverines
squander four drives that penetrated
the Buckeye 20-yard line. Michigan
could only convert two Bob Bergeron
field goals for its six points.
"I'm disappointed because I concede
nothing to this game. We should have
won the game, God dammit," em-
phasized Michigan's 16-year coach.
Ohio State is now 9-2 overall, 7-2 in the
Big Ten and has earned its first trip to
the Rose Bowl in five years.
"IT'S something I've dreamed about
all of my life," said a joyous Keith

Byars, OSU's dashing tailback, who
rushed for 93 yards on 28 carries and
scored all three Buckeye touchdowns.
"Beating Michigan, winning the Big
Ten championship, and getting to play
Southern Cal in the Rose Bowl."
Michigan's record drops to 6-5, 5-4,
concluding the worst Wolverine cam-
paign during Schembechler's legen-
dary reign at the helm. At 6-5,
Michigan's chances for a bowl in-
vitation appear dim.
"I'm not talking to anybody about
that," snapped Schembechler.
THE GAME itself was in question
going into the fourth quarter as both
teams traded long drives and punts.
Ohio State picked up three first downs
on its opening possession but was forced
to punt. Then Michigan was forced to
punt after being stopped in three plays.
Ohio State's Mike Lanese snares a critical third down pass from quarter- Lanese's clutch grab enabled the Buckeyes to continue a fourth quarter

RC students seek formal
input for director review

Students in the University's Residential College
traditionally have had a loud voice in the selection of their in-
structors and their curriculum.
So when Director John Mersereau announced his plans to
step down from his post next June, the college's students
wanted to have a say in choosing his successor.
THIS SEPTEMBER, LSA Dean Peter Steiner asked the
college's students to recommend replacements for Mer-
sereau and to talk to him about their choices. Steiner recently
sent those who made recommendations a list of eight
nominees, again asking for their comments.
But some students say the input process doesn't go far
enough.
I'd like to see students involved in the entire (selection)
process," said Susan Andrew, an LSA sophomore. "The
whole philosophy of the Residential College is student-faculty
decision-making together."
THE RESIDENTIAL College is a "living and learning
community . . . that looks closely at the faculty," said Paul
Cohen, a college senior.
Specifically, some college members, organized as the
Coalition of Concerned Students, would like a seat on the LSA
executive committee in order to participate in the reviews of
nominees and have a vote in the final selection.
But Steiner refuses to allow students or residential college
faculty members on the executive committee, Cohen said,
thereby denying students a direct say in the review process.
BUT THOUGH students will not have a vote, Steiner said
he believes they have sufficient input.
"We have . . . a sensible, good procedure, we have lots of
groups that are getting input," Steiner said.

"I think it's representative of our
student body. The gorging, the going for
broke, the giving it all you've got," said
Dan Weberman, a graduate student.
No, he wasn't describing Michigan's
performance on the fottball field
yesterday. He wasn't even describing
the marching band. Instead, he was
describing the four students who par-
ticipated in yesterday's nacho eating
contest at the Michigan Union's
University Club.
And it was quite a contest. The platter
of nachos wasn't any ordinary serving.
It was billed as the world's largest
nacho platter.
THESE STUDENTS buried their
faces in a mountain of chips, pools of
nacho sauce, and gobs of refried beans
during the 50-second race.
The prize? A $20 Michigan jersey and
a shot at fame and fortune. But students
had to pay a price for glory.
"I almost puked, but I loved it," said
Ken Florin, an LSA freshman who par-
ticipated in the competition.
"I COULDN'T breathe with the nacho
sauce up my nose. But I maintained my
grace and dignity. Greg (Brehm, an
LSA freshman), won but in a disgusting

It might not be a zoo, but it's close.
Dogs, fish, snakes, and even ferrets. In dorm rooms, apar-
tments, and in sororities and fraternities, students are har-
boring all sorts of pets. Some students say they keep their
furry or scaley-backed friends for company, others say their
pets add pepper to a party.
FRESHMAN Bill Taylor shares his Markley dorm room
with another student, six snakes, lobsters, and bass.
When Taylor moved up from his Texas home this fall, he
brought the snakes with him. "When I was little I was
allergic to furry things, so I just started to collect snakes," he
said.
He and his roommate LSA freshman Chris Baerman keep
their sea friends in two aquariums. Five other rooms on their
hall, including their resident adviser Mark Majoros, have
acquariums.
MARJOROS, AN LSA senior, said he has turtles, oscars,
and catfish. "They're relaxing to watch," he added.
Jay Hemdale, manager of Age of Aquarium pet store on
Packard, said fish are his best seller.
"The buyers are mostly males in dorms ... one person on
the floor will buy a tank and the rest of the guys will think it's
cool and they all will buy tanks," he said.
"FISH ARE a lot nicer than hampsters or gerbils. They are
also quiet and can develop a personality," said Mike
Williams, a worker at University Aquariums and Pet Shop
located in the Westgate Shopping Center.
"They make a nice addition to a living or dorm room," he
added.
To some students, however, the fish are more than an ad- a
dition. They are an attraction.
ONE STUDENT, who asked not to be named, said he uses
the fish as bait to lure women to his apartment..
He said he asks dates to come up to his apartment to "see my
fish."

1984 doublespeak
WHEN THE U.S. State Department announced
that it was officially replacing the word
"killing" with "unlawful or arbitrary deprivation
of life," the act did not escape the notice of
English teachers. The National Council of Teachers of
English, which is holding its annual convention in Detroit
on Friday presented the State Department with its 1984
that depends on an informed electorate, doublespeak has a
profound effect on public policy," he said. "You start
reading this stuff, and you start believing it." Also cited for
confusing language was Secretary of Defense Caspar
Weinberger for comments he made after the removal of
American troops from Lebanon to ships offshore. Wein-
berger was quoted by Lutz as saying: "Nothing has
changed. We are not leaving Lebanon. The Marines are
being deployed two or three miles to the west." The Pen-
tagon also was recognized for calling peace "permanent
pre-hostility," calling combat "violence processing" and

products sold by a fast-talking pitchman since the 1960s,
opens today at the Randolph Street Gallery. The products
aren't actually art, but are like the process of art, said
exhibit organizer Lynne Warren. "An individual goes to the
work of art, forms expectations about it, sees if the expec-
tations pay off," she said. "It's the same process as seeing
a Ronco ad, having expectations about the product, then ac-
tually getting the product." "The products were unique,
not your everyday fork or pot," said Ron Popeil, the Ron in
Ronco and the voice of the commercials. But wait: That's
not all. The show also features items like Seal-A-Meal.

of one of "The Ghostly Trio" characters as its logo was
"damaging." Despite repeated warnings, Dumler said
