One year ago this week, Michigan was 4-3 and coming off a 26-0 shellacking at the hands of the Iowa Hawkeyes. Illinois was only 5-3, but the Fighting Illini were coming off an impressive 34-20 win over Purdue and appeared ready to make a move in the Big Ten. ILLINOIS came into Ann Arbor a prohibitive favorite, but Michigan promptly gave the Fighting Illini a swift kick pulling off a 26-18 upset. For a downtrodden Wolverine team, it was one of the few highlights of the 1984 season. This year, the roles are reversed. Illinois started out as one of the * nation's top ranked teams, but losses to USC, Nebraska and Purdue have knocked it out of the top 20. Michigan, on the other hand, has made its well- documented meteroic rise from ob- scurity to the upper echelons of the national rankings, and there is nothing Illinois would like more than See BLUE, Page 12 * University presidents dicuss aid for blacks :in S. Africa LSA to guarantee a dission By ERIC MATTSON The college of LSA will guarantee some incoming freshmen a place in University graduate schools when they are admitted as undergraduates in an attempt to encourage students to broaden their education. LSA Dean Peter Steiner, the main proponent of the program, said he came up with the idea because too many students base their curriculums on what they think will look good to admissions counselors in graduate schools. STEINER SAID the "Preferred Ad- missions" program is designed for "students who are obsessed with potential admission to graduate programs. This will relieve some of that tension." Steiner hopes the new program will allow students to take courses that they otherwise might ignore. Under the program, which is still in its preliminary stages, freshmen who plan to go on to a certain professional school would be guaranteed ad- -mission to that school provided they maintained a good academic standing and met criteria that has yet to be defined. Steiner said the program is the first of its kind in the country, and predic- ted that other schools will follow suit. "I think we're way ahead of the crowd on this one," he said. "In this case, I think we're innovating, not copying." ANOFFICIAL at the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers said she had not heard of similar programs at other universities. "I think it's a neat idea if they can get it to work," she See STEINER, Page 5 Daily Photo by SCOTT IITUCHYI Spiderman?

By KERY MURAKAMI with wire reports Providing scholarships to black South Africans is one alternative to divestment in trying to help blacks in South Africa, 13 university presidents said in a meeting in New York earlier this month. Among those attending was Univer- sity of Michigan President Harold Shapiro. "FUNDS are needed to ensure a steady increase in the number of black South Africans attending South African universities as un- dergraduates and postgraduates," Stuart Saunders, vice chancellor and principal of the University of Capetown in South Africa, said at the conference. He said each student would need about $2,500 to attend his university in 1985, far above what most South African blacks can afford to pay. Susan Lipschutz, a philosophy professor and assistant to Shapiro, said the University has awarded four full scholarships to black students from South Africa since 1981; one of whom graduated last year. SHE SAID, however, there has been no discussions about expanding its program or beginning support for See SHAPIRO, Page 5 RSG turnout exceeds expectations By MICHAEL LUSTIG Only 91 of over 3,600 eligible voters cast their ballots in the two-day Rackham Student Government elections which concluded yesterday, exceeding by 31 the number of votes cast in last winter's elections. Six positions were up for election this fall; two seats in each of three divisions. Five write-in candidates and only one of two filed candidates were seated last night. VICTORIOUS in the physical sciences and engineering division were Edward Hellen, a physics research assistant (26 votes), and Alice Haddy, secretary for the Graduate Employees Organization (19 votes). Set in the biological sciences division were two write-in candidates, Biology teaching assistant Margaret Reeves (26 votes) and Rackham student Lianna Barbar (25 votes). Education division write-in candidates seated are Doc- toral candidate George Junne (6 votes), Steve Ruffins (2 votes). RSG President Dean Baker said last night he was pleased with the turnout, citing the improvement over last fall's numbers. "More people may have voted because RSG has gotten involved in more controversial issues," said Baker, poin- ting to their resolution last month condemning the visit of See FIVE, Page 2 'THE CARRIER'STARS'U'STUDENT 'U' alumni produce * new horror movie By KERY DUFF town doctor that h It's dark, and cold, and silent.

No injuries were reported in the incident, according to campus security officer David Dupuis. Associate engineering dean Charles Vest said the building will reopen today. THE CHAMBER housed air- conditioning, electrical, and other utility equipment that provided ser- vice to a basement area of the Dow building in which a library, study area, and computer laboratories had recently been constructed. "Structurally, the room appears to be destroyed, but we don't know what damage was done to the equipment," Vest said. Construction project superinten- dent Mike Sweitzer said he suspected See ENGIN, Page 2 Daily Photo by SCOTT LITUCHY Construction supervisor Mike Sweitzer and a passer-by survey damage yesterday from the collapse of a roof at the Dow engineering building on North Campus.
