After trailing most of the game, Michigan scored first in overtime. But then, Illinois forward Anthony Welch took over and gave Illinois its first con- ference win, also breaking a three- game losing streak. "WHEN YOU lose these kinds of games it takes a lot out of you," said Michigan head coach Bill Frieder, "You've got to make the baskets in crucial situations." Roy Tarpley was the only Wolverine to make crucial shots, make that any shots, in the overtime. The 6-11 center hit a 15-footer to give Michigan the initial lead of the extra period. Tarpley took a low pass offthe floor and shot it in over three Illini defenders to give the Wolverines their last lead at 58-56 with See WOLVERINES, Page 10 Reagan nominates education secretary By KERY MURAKAMI with wire reports President Ronald Reagan yesterday nominated William Bennett, a strong supporter of the president's education policies, for the post of education secretary. Bennett, currently head of the National Endowment for the Humanities, is expected by some to be a stronger supporter of Reagan's policies than his predecessor Terrell Bell. Meanwhile University officials had little comment on Bennett's nomination: Billy Frye, vice president for academic affairs and University provost, said he did not know enough about Bennett to comment on the nomination. While Richard Kennedy, vice presid- cent for state relations and University secretary said he wasn't surprised by the nomination because Bennett was one of the top contenders for the job. Kennedy said that he knew little of Bennett's attitudes about education department programs. Bell, who stepped down from his post December 31 "was one of the people in- strumental in fighting the elimination of the department of education and a lot of the good programs in the depar- tment," said Ellie McGrath, former education editor for Time magazine who is studying at the University on a journalism fellowship. "But with Bennett," she said, "I'm not so sure we'll see that." Bell left for Utah to become a professor after his resignation. Bennett has voiced his support for the president, saying after he was made head of the NEH in 1981, "It would be in poor judgement to take this job if I were not in general agreement with the President, and I am," he said. Bennett was linked with controversy two months ago when he and John Silber, Boston University president, met separately with conservative lob- byists to discuss their credentials for the education post. The private meeting attended by a top White House personnel official drew editorial criticism, and Bell himself said that he was "just amazed" at the notion of outside groups screening cabinet appointees.

At the same time, Reagan named John Herrington, the White House per- sonnel director, to succeed Hodel as the top official of the Energy Department. COMPLETING the latest round of personnel shuffling, the president fofficials decided to nominate Richard Darman, a top White House aide, as deputy secretary of the Treasury. White House spokesman Larry Speakes announced the appointments, saying Reagan met with the four men yesterday and approved them for the new jobs. Darman will succeed R.T. McNamar as deputy secretary at the Treasury Department.

Though giving up food may pose problems for some people, Aptowitz can actually see some benefits to the experience. "Fasting is cleaning out my system because I am not worried about cooking and eating," he said. Yesterday, his seventh day on a water diet, he noted that he was better able "to focus on what I'm doing." APTOWITZ prepared for the fast by con- sulting a physician and gradually reducing his food intake. He said that the third and fourth days of the fast were the most difficult. Today when he breaks the fast he expects to consume, only juice to ease back into eating, trying not to disrupt his system, he said. LSA junior Eric Goldstein believes that his abstinence from food is not only a protest of the civil contempt sentence against the peace ac- tivists, but also a way of putting himself in the shoes of those who do not have American luxuries or even basics, such as the starving children of Ethiopia. Goldstein, who is fasting for two-day periods, said he "doesn't want to be comfortable all of the time." BETH SCHAFFER, who recently graduated from the University, said she also believes that fasting "makes me aware of what we take for granted when we eat." Goldstein and Schaffer agree that the ex- perience of group fasting is a powerful tool. Goldstein said it provides "another sense of group activity." This is important, he said, because "when you have a strong sense of community and feel part of a group, you can do more." Schaffer said, "It's nice to know, if you're in jail, other people are doing the same thing." English Prof. Buzz Alexander has more pragmatic hopes for his fasting. He said he wants people to know that there are "political prisoners from Ann Arbor in Michigan jails." While he hasn't observed any immediate rests ofOis fast said be hopes that somre people will drop by Canterbury House where the peace group meets to talk and fast. State Senate panel wants ban on abortion funding I LANSING (UPI) - A Senate committee - acting on the second day of the Legislature's 83rd session - yesterday unanimously approved legislation banning state funding of abortions for poor women. The Senate Social Services Committee met for only a few minutes, and heard only a brief explanation from the bill's sponsor, before voting 4-0 to send the measure to the full Senate. COMMITTEE Chairman Robert Geake, (R-Northville) predicted the Senate will pass the bill early next week, possibly Tuesday. Approval is also generally expected in the House. As usual, the main question appears to be whether lawmakers can muster the votes to override an almost cer- tain veto by Gov. James Blanchard. Geake and other abortion opponents believe the chances of a successful override were enhanced by the November elec- tions, which appear to have given the House a more conser- vative cast. IN PAST years, both chambers have consistently approved bans on state-funded abortions - which are paid for through the state's Medicaid program - but the House has been unable to produce a two-thirds majority to override 13 vetos by ex-Gov. William Milliken and Blanchard since 1978. Last year, the House override fell one vote short. 'As a result of the November elec- tion, we now have the one or two extra votes (in the House) we 'need.' s - Sen. Robert Geake (R-Northville) "As a result of the November election, we now have the one or two extra votes (in the House) we need," Geake said. Geake speculated that the lack of the discussion and testimony on the highly controversial issue was due to its long history in the Legislature. "I believe it's because the issue is so familiar to everyone," Geake said. "There's hardly anything left to be said on the issue." "I think the arguments that have come out of this in the last 10 years are pretty well known," said Sen. Ed Fredricks, sponsor of the bill. The West Olive Republican said he does not believe debate in the past has changed any lawmakers' votes. Daily Photo by MATT PETRIE Brrrrrrrr Snow coats campus yesterday. The snow came from a storm system which dumped heavy snow in the Plains states but for the most part, spared the Midwest from a massive snowfall. ToDAY Roach hotels T he Wilmington, Del. Fire Department is getting sick of all the false alarms turned in by local cockroaches lately. City work crews are literally de-bugging smoke detectors at a housing project where roaches have triggered dozens of phony fire alerts, almost up to three alarms a day at the building. Each alarm required the fire department to send three pump engines, a hook-and-ladder truck and rescue squad to the project, which houses 150 people. The "roach alarm" problem began last November when housing officials launched a made the roaches come out looking for shelter. Well, they were coming out of the walls and going into the smoke alarms, and then we starting having the roach alarms." Mirror, mirror If you're having trouble coming to grips with yourself, maybe Steve Egge of San Jose, Callif. can help. Egge operates "Spittin' Image," a company that can produce a mannequin of you that looks absolutely lifelike. The replicas, which Egge calls "manne-clowns," duplicate a person's hair, build and features, right down to the blemishes. He'll even dress it in your own clothes for that added touch of realism-all for $795 to $1,400. Some people use the replicas as "burglar deterrents" by propping them up in a chair with a book when they leave home, Egge said. Wnd eh the hirdip up the sidewalks, so city workers starting hanging owls in downtown trees. These are not real owls, but simulated owls, intended to scare the other birds off. "We found through experience that if we place a simulated owl in the roosting areas, it will scare them away," city tree- trimming supervisor Vic Edmisten said. The cedar wax- wings get drunk on berries and fly into windows and stagger around on the ground. Then the starlings go out into the agricultural areas in the day and feed. At night they come back downtown to sleep because the big buildings protect them from the wind. "The drippings seem to be two to three inches deep on the ground, so people can slip on them, get hit by cars dodging them, and then the stench that hits them is also terrible," said Edmisten. Million dollar men T'elevision has reached the million-dollar-minute mark time, said an ABC spokesman, calling it a bargain because 30 seconds of actual game time will cost $525,000. Corporate sponsors have signed up for the expensive 30-, 60-, and 90- second commerical slots. The game is more than 90 percent sold and ABC expects a complete sell-out by airtime Jan. 20. Last year, when CBS carried Super Bowl XVIII, the asking price was $425,000 for 30 seconds of game time. Ad- vertising industry sources say these are asking prices, not necessarily selling prices after the bargaining process proceeds. The price for the 1984 Summer Olympics was $260,000 for 60 seconds of prime time. On the inside... The Opinion Page looks at the basic cause of famine in Africa...
