Tarpley hurt See Page 7 dF " editor agrees to run ads By JILL OSEROWSKY The editor of the student newspaper at Wayne State University reversed her ban on military recruiting adver- tisements Friday, ending a two- month-long controversy in which she nearly lost her job. After editor Patricia Maceroni an- nounced the end of the ban, the university's Student Newspaper Publications Board ended its attempt to fire her. "I DID LOSE a little bit," said the editor of The South End. "Some people might see it as a cop-out, but I see it as a change of strategy." She said low morale at the newspaper and a concern among staff members about the paper's future prompted her to end the controversy. Maceroni said her new strategy will be to run "counter-ads" about the military next to the recruiting adver- tisements. Although the initial com- mentaries will be put in by the staff, Maceroni said yesterday that the student government and several faculty members might sponsor ad- vertisements opposing U.S. military activities abroad. AT ITS MEETING this week, the university's Board of Governors will be asked to revise the newspaper's charter to remove ambiguities which surfaced during the controversy. One provision of the charter gives the editor control over the contents of the newspaper, while another gives .: the publications board authority over all of the paper's financial affairs. "It has got to be revised," Maceroni said of the charter, "I still believe I had every right to do what I did.." See BOARD, Page 2 Harbaugh sets pass mark as 'M' slams Hoosiers By BRAD MORGAN What started as a comedy of errors for MichiganSaturday ended up as a tragedy for the Indiana Hoosiers as the Wolverines overcame first half mistakes and exploded in the second half for a 42-15 victory. Jamie Morris and Jim Harbaugh both turned in career bests to spark the offense to its best showing since 1983 (604 total yards). The defense, af- ter a rough first half, returned to form in time to hold the Hoosiers in check. IN THE FIRST half, Michigan seemed determined to throw a pre- Halloween party for the Homecoming crowd of 105,629, playing its variations of classic party games such as Bobbing for Footballs and Pin the Penalty on the Lineman. After Indiana was forced to punt on its first possession, Michigan took over on its one-yard line. Two plays later, Gerald White fumbled at the 19- yard line after an 11-yard pass play. Leonard Bell recovered for Indiana, and after one first down, the Hoosiers cashed in on a 25-yard field goal by Pete Stoyanvich. The worst was yet to come, though. On the evening kickoff, freshman John Kolesar couldn't decide if he should down the ball or run it back and ended up downing the- ball on the one-yard line. MORRIS THEN compounded Kolesar's mistake by fumbling on fir- st down. Bell again recovered for the Hoosiers, and on the first play, Damon Sweazy took a Steve Bradley pitch and ral untouched into the en- dzone for a three-yard touchdown. The extra point attempt was foiled by a bad snap, but with only 6:31 gone in the game, Michigan trailed 9-0. "I though it was going to be a disastrous start," said Michigan coach Bo Schembechler. "The mistakes early in the game could have put us out of it." The rest of the first half was more of the same. The offense was able to put two scoring drives together, capped by Morris touchdown runs of eight and 17 yards, but for most of both periods, it was one step forward and two steps back. A HOLDING penalty wiped out a 38- yard pass play from Harbaugh to Morris on one drive, Harbaugh fum- bled under pressure for a 13-yard loss on the same series, and a sack good for a 12-yard loss ended another scoring chance. Throughout the half, two things - last week's loss to Iowa and the patched together offensive line - kept the Wolverines from playing with consistency.

Group to offer gun ban proposal -- - - - - - - - - - By PHILIP CHIDEL Members of a local community group say they will propose a ban on the sale and possession of handguns in Ann Arbor during the public commen- ts session of tonight's City Council meeting. Citizens for Handgun Control will propose a new city ordinance that, if approved, would prohibit the sale of handguns within city limits and would require Ann Arbor residents to sell or turn into police all handguns they currently own except those that are considered antique or permanently inoperable. Therordinance would exclude police officers and other law enforcement personnel. DONALD DUQUETTE, chairman of the organization and a law professor at the University, said the ban is necessary to keep "the peace in our time in our town." "We've got such a good police force (in Ann Arbor), that rather than reaching for your .38, you could reach for the phone and dial 911 and a trained police officer will be at your door in minutes," continued Duquet- te, who also directs the Child Ad- See LOCAL, Page 3 LSA may give ROTC credits By NANCY DRISCOLL An LSA panel is studying the possibility of rescinding a 15-year-old policy which prohibits ROTC students from receiving LSA credit for military education courses. While military courses count for varying amounts of credit in most of the University's schools and colleges, ROTC students in LSA earn no credit toward graduation for the 12 credit hours of class they are required to take. LSA'S CURRICULUM committee has established a three-member subcommittee which is "looking into every aspect" of the LSA policy, and "that includes issues that are relevant to academic quality of the courses," accor- ding to classical studies Prof. Bruce Frier, a member of the subcommittee. The issue has been raised by the Military Officers Education Program Committee (MOEPC), the liaison organization between the University and the ROTC programs. "At this point LSA is distinctly alone so that is why it seems appropriate to review it," aid Leland Quacken- bush, assistant dean of the engineering college and chairman of MOEPC. "WE REVIEWED the whole history of ROTC credit and saw some possible ways credit might be given," Quackenbush said. According to Lt. Col. Steve Gerlach, chairman of the Army program, "The problem is for the cadets. They're enrolled in military science classes and they've elected to earn a commission as a 2nd lieutenant in the army and to See LSA, Page 3 INSIDE ACTIVATE: A student urges more in- volvement in LSA's student government.
