University President Harold Shapiro, University Athletic Director Don Canham, former University student activist Tom Hayden, and several current students spoke about their experiences on campus. They joined Today Show host Bryant Gum- bel for a discussion on academics and activism here at the University. Although the hour was early and a cold 36 degrees, about 800 students sacrificed precious hours of sleep to come to the Diag and watch Shapiro lead off the activities. Shapiro said that the University's traditional curriculum was in some ways just as liberal as Brown's in- dividualized one. It is "in some senses traditional, but also vital, dynamic, and changing." He also commented that he was not envious of his Brown counterpart's Students gyeet 'Today' with mixed responses By REBECCA BLUMENSTEIN, JOANNE CANNELLA and MICHAEL SHERMAN Whether you stood on the Diag sip- pig hot chocolate and struggling to keep warm or preferred the comfort of your pajamas, The Today Show's visit to campus yesterday was a big event.

Michigan loads up for powerful Hawkeye attack By JOE EWING L Of the 105 NCAA Division 1-A colleges that play foot- 11, all but two would kill to be ranked number one going into this weekend. And as fate would have, those two teams will square-off for that distinction tomorrow when Michigan travels to Iowa. The Hawkeyes are ranked number one in the Associated Press sportswriters poll and the United Press International coaches poll, while the Wolverines top the USA Today and New York Times list, and are second in AP. But neither team wants the lofty ratings. "I'VE BEEN telling our guvs that we're number two all along," said Iowa head coach Hayden Fry. At Iowa don't think we know how to spell number one yet." Michigan coach Bo Schembechler, who has never had " '== :a::::::'4 :.: e i ii............i...............:... "i ..: .. : Topranking is on the line much faith in the polls or the pollsters, found no reason to believe the claims that his team is the best in the! country this week. When told earlier this week that his squad topped the USA Today rankings, Schembechler simply responded, "I don't read that paper." When asked about his reaction to the Times rating, the 17 year coach laughed, "I don't get that paper either." Nonetheless, while both coaches may not think their teams are the best in the country yet, both squads have done a good job of proving they are among the best. The ways Michigan and Iowa have gone about doing this, however, is about as opposite as night and day. THE HAWKEYES (5-0) have established themselves through their offense, which is number one in the nation in scoring (44.2 points per game) and have rolled up nearly 470 yards in each contest. Setting the pace for Iowa, of course, is All-American quarterback Chuck :Long, who has picked apart his opponent's defenses with elusive and patient style of play. "He's basrally a pocket quarterback," noted Michigan defensive coordinator Gary Moeller. "But he's never in one spot. You can't tell your players that he'll be standing right back there, because you have to be able to find him as well as get to him." Long's ability to evade the defensive rush has allowed him to hit on 106 of 158 passes for 1288 yards and 15 touchdowns, among the best in the Big Ten and in America. But while the fifth-year senior is probably in the bad dreams of most defensive coordinators in the Big Ten, the Hawkeyes have another offensive weapon that has given Moeller nightmares lately. "THAT RONNIE Harmon scares me the most," said Moeller, referring to the Iowa's top running back who is a double threat as both a rusher and receiver. "He's so fast and has great moves. You can go to hit him in one spot, and before you know it;it won't be there anymore. He's going to be hard to stop." In five games, Harmon has rub for 512 and five touch- See BLUE, Page 10 " i " " " " i i" ' s 'P" w is iii: "i' : " iiiii "'iii "i' i i "i'iT " ii 'ir' ' " ii " " 'ii " s ii "O'iii " " e i " i i i' i " i iii "i"iii""""""""""""sd:"""""s""".

Shapiro told students involved in the code issue two weeks ago that he would by-pass the council and submit last year's code proposal to the Board of Regents in January if the council doesn't finish its work by then. AS AN ALTERNATIVE, Shapiro said he would not go to the regents if as a "sign of good faith," the council reconsidered the administration's code proposal. But yesterday, councilmembers didn't discuss last year's code proposal. Ben Long, an LSA junior and one of three students on the council, said the students didn't mention Shapiro's warnings at the meeting, because they will not consider the ad- ministration's version of the code. ARCHIE ANDREWS, director of housing programs and one of three administrators on the council, said faculty and staff councilmembers didn't bring up Shapiro's warnings because "the only thing we know about it is what we've read in the Daily. President Shapiro hasn't ex- pressed any concern to me, so we're not even sure if he is concerned." Long also said that while the council cannot finish its work by January, he felt the council could convince Shapiro of its progress by sending minutes of its meetings to him every week. Opponents of last year's code proposal said parts of the plan would violate students' civil rights.

I, From Staff and Wire Reports A former University graduate student, Jerome Karle, was this week awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry. And yesterday, French novelist Claude Simon was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. KARLE, WHO did graduate studies in chemistry at the University from until 1943, learned of the award 'le returning to the United States from Munich. The pilot of Pan Am flight 107 from London to Washington, D.C. announ- ced over the 747's public address system that Karle and his colleague, Dr. Herbert Hauptman, had been awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. The jetliners crew and 279 other passengers erupted in applause and popped open a bottle of cham- pagne for Karle. Karle was surprised at first, but 'Events like this are always rather surprising and shocking and personally satisfying.' - Jerome Karle, Nobel Prize Winner later said, "I suppose in about a half an hour my composure returned." "IT'S A GOOD think I heard the news about two hours before we lan- ded," Karle said, "If I'd had no forewarning, I'd have been unable to cope with all the cameras and repor- ters that were waiting at the airport." "Events like this are always rather surprising and shocking and per- sonaly satisfying," Karle said at an airport news conference. "The prize money is the least of it, but I'd like to use it to do good work." Karle and Hauptman were awarded the prize for their work in developing techniques to determine the arrangement of atoms in crystals through the use of x-rays. ASKED IF HE thought he'd ever win a Nobel, Karle said: "I think there are very few serious scientists who don't fantasize every once in a while." Earle and his wife Isabella, who is a University graduate, currently live in Falls Church, Virginia, a suburb of Washington. Novelist Claude Simon, whose com- plex style has kept his work from becoming well known even in his native France, won the Nobel for literature. Simon became the 12th French writer to win the award and the first since 1964, when existentialist author and playwright Jean-Paul Sarte declined to accept his award. Simon is a pioneer of the French "nouveau roman," or "new novel" style, which did away with convential concepts of narrative structure, plot and character development. The Swedish academy said in its citation that Simon's novels, many of which draw on his experiences with the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War and as a cavalry officer in World War II, combine "the poet's and the painter's creativeness with a deepened awareness of time in the depiction of the human condition." l~issed vaccine deadli~ne -results in hold credi~ts By MICHAEL GLARUM THE HOLD credits, which prevent More than 2,700 new students have a student from registering for classes, received hold credits for failing to can be lifted within 24 hours after a submit proof of measles vaccinations, person is innoculated. a University Health Service official In addition to the office in the said yesterday. basement of the health service A new University program, in- building, students can receive vac- stituted with the backing of state and cinations at CRISP from Nov. 18-26, local health departments and the Daniels said.
