Vol. XCV, No. 64 Copyright 1984, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan - Sunday, November 18, 1984 Fifteen Cents Ten Pags 'M' wilts to os, By DOUGLAS B. LEVY Special to the Daily 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 21-6 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 back Mike Tomczak as Michigan's Jim Scarcelli follows up on the play. drive which gave OSU a 14-6 lead. RC students seek formal input for director review See 'M', Page 10 By SEAN JACKSON 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.

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.

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." The campus' Greek system is a hot bed 'for wild life too. Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity keeps a snake, while Lambda Chi, Delta Tau Delta, and Phi Delta Theta own dogs.

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 for referrine to civilian casualties in nuclear war as man Steam-A-Way, Mr. Microphone and all the rest of the 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.
