Call it a slaughter. Call it a "it's about time" victory. You can even call it a laugher. But you may be wrong. In Michigan's easiest victory since beginning its Big Ten schedule, the Wolverines pressed and pushed and simply dominated the Northwestern Wildcats, 82-45, last night at Crisler Arena. BUT THE news wasn't all good. With 14 minutes left in the second half and Michigan coasting at 50-27, Gary Grant charged downcourt for an easy two after intercepting a pass at the other end. Grant missed the lay-up however, and in the process sprained his ankle. He may not play Saturday again- st Wisconsin as a result. Grant's departure was ironic because the sophomore came into the game intending mainly to play tenacious defense, and did so until the injury, totaling four steals and supplying much of the spark for a Michigan defense that held North- western to 19-49 (.387) from the field. "We played with intensity and we played together defen- . sively." said a pleased Bill Frieder. Michigan's head coach. "Our defense created a lot of offensive situations for us, and got our offense going." THE DEFENSE rushed the Wolverines to a 8-0 run early in the first half, thanks to a Grant steal to open the spurt and a Grant-to-Joubert backdoor pass to finish it. Ahead 16-6, Michigan never looked back and fiercely closed its jaws on the Wildcat offense for the rest of the contest. "They (the Wolverines) got us on a nice spurt in the begin- ning," said Northwestern coach Rich Falk. "They were pressuring the ball, taking our shooters out of sync, and _ y making us ball handle. We have a young team and they got on ,us with quick, talented players." "They took us out with their defense, and forced a lot of turnovers." THE MAN who converted several of Michigan's oppor- tunities was Antoine Joubert. The junior guard nailed 9 of 14 from the floor for 19 points, finally giving the Michigan guard spot a little recognition on offense after a recent drought. NASA widens search area for shuttle Navy uses sonar to search From AP and UPI CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla - NASA ex- panded its search for Challenger's wreckage yesterday and dispatched six Navy ships to train sonars on the "missile graveyard of the world" for large pieces of the space shuttle. Crews brought back tons of debris, including one of the shuttle's con- trol panels. A bone with blue fabric attached washed up on a beach, and medical technicians examined it to see if it belonged to one of the seven astronauts killed in Tuesday's ex- plosion. THE BONE was found near Indialantic, 35-miles south of Cape Canaveral and taken to a hospital at nearby Patrick Air Force Base. NASA spokesman Hugh Harris said the bone and tissue fragment measured 4 inches by 6 inches by 1 inch. NASA officials did not know what kind of bone it was, and there was nothing to link to an astronaut. Jim Mizell, a spokesman for the Kennedy Space Center, called the area offshore "the missile graveyard of the world" because it contains the wreckage of scores of failed rockets and the discarded first stages of hundreds more. "IT WILL take some real expert to take pieces and say it's not Snark, Redstone, Pershing, Atlas and on and on," he said. Snark and Redstone are two of the early missiles of the 1950s. Thousands of pounds of small pieces of debris found floating on the sea were aboard ships running search patterns over 8,000 square miles, northward from Cape Canaveral to Daytona Beach. "To my knowledge no personal effects of the astronauts have been recovered," said Lt. Cmdr. James Simpson of the. Coast Guard. CHALLENGER, with five men and two women aboard - including schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe - was 8.9 miles high and 8 miles off the coast at the time of the ex- plosion, but the nearly 2,000 mph speed scat- tered debris over a vast distance. At the Kennedy Space Center, on the road to Challenger's launch pad, someone plan- ted seven American flags to honor the dead astronauts. A memorial service, which will be atten- ded by President and Mrs. Reagan, is to be held tomorrow at the Johnson Space Center in Houston where the astronauts trained for their ill-fated flight. The president planned to meet first privately with the families. See TONS, Page 3 Daily Photo by ANDI SCHREIBER Mi irn.

'U' rejects research that govt. calls secret By ROB EARLE The University does not begin work on research projects if the government has said the results will be secret, a former University official said yesterday. Alfred Sussman, former vice-president for research, said the University sometimes asks the government to declassify information needed for research so that the results of the project will not be classified. IF THE GOVERNMENT refuses to declassify the information, he said, the University does not participate in the project because the University's research guidelines prohibit classified research, he added. Sussman's remarks came after a Jan. 23 story in the Daily incorrectly reporting that the Univer- sity asks that projects be declassified after they are underway. Alan Price, assistant vice president for resear- ch, explained how the process works. "WHEN WE SEND IN a proposal, the Depar- tment of Defense may come in and say, 'you need access to classified information.' " The defense department then sends the Univer- sity a form stating that researchers will need ac- cess to classified material and whether the material generated by the project will be See U,' Page 5 Senate panel~ to consider smoking poli~cy Blanchard lauds state comeback LANSING (UPI) - Creating jobs and rescuing Michigan from bankruptcy - have been the keys to the state's *comeback, Gov. James Blanchard told legislators yesterday in a 65- minute State of the State address. "You, the members of this Legislature, should take great pride in this comeback," the governor said in a speech that was interrupted by applause 28 times. "You had the foresight - the foresight and the guts - to make this comeback possible." Much of his speech concentrated on the administration's efforts to create *jobs and bring the state out of debt. The annual address was delivered to a joint session of the House and Senate. Directors of state departments and members of the Michigan Court of Appeals and the state Supreme Court also attended. Reaction to the speech was mixed, with Senate Majority Leader John Engler criticizing it for its length and lack of substance, while both Democratic and Republican House 'You, the members of this legislature, should take great pride in this comeback.' - Governor Blanchard leaders were generally favorable. The sharpest criticism came from the 17-member Legisldtive Black Caucus, which said the speech fell short in human services areas. Black lawmakers also criticized Blanchard for poorly funding minority business programs. The lengthy speech, liberally spinkled with the names of Democratic and Republican lawmakers who supported legislation which the Democratic governor favored, came a day after Blan- chard's 90-minute television "preview" of the address and question - and - answer session with reporters and TV viewers. In both, Blanchard touted his new plan to assure affordable education by allowing parents to invest in a state- run trust fund. Similar to the popular individual retirement accounts, the tax-free program will "separate Michigan's higher education system from the rest in the nation," Blan- chard said. "This will not be a giveaway program or an income redistribution program," the governor told the ap- plauding assembly. "It will be an in- vestment program that does not require additional state expen- ditures." Blanchard did not repeat his call of the previous two years of asking colleges to freeze tuition, but he ap- pealed to them to "practice restraint" in setting tuitions. As for secondary and elementary education, he called for expanded student testing programs, recommended that the State Board of Education set up voluntary school accreditation stan- dards and proposed an increase in funding for teacher training. Tackling what is expected to be one of the dominant issues of the legislative session, Blanchard an- nounced he is naming former Univer- sity of Michigan President Robben Fleming as his "designated represen- tative" in adopting changes in the state's liability system. By JILL OSEROWSKY A bill set to go before the Public and Mental Health Committee of the state Senate next Tuesday calls upon all governmental agencies- including the University - to impose a policy against smoking in Dublic areas. The Michigan Clean Air Act, in- troduced for the fourth time in five years, requires state agencies to post signs of designating non-smoking and smoking areas beginning Jan. 1, 1987. UNDER THE act, all private businesses that receive state funds would be required to adopt the policy in 1988. All other businesses would be included in 1989. The University adiministration currently is considering its own smoking in the workplace policy, af- ter deciding not to wait for the state to take action. "We recommended that we not wait for the Michigan Clean Air Act," said. Beatrice Kalisch, chairwoman of the faculty Senate Assembly's Financial Affairs Committee, which has been given the task of drawing up the policy. IN ITS PRESENT FORM, THE University's policy covers all of its faculty administration and staff but Assembly approved in principle the fourth draft of the policy that would ban smoking in "workplaces such as offices, shops, laboratories, libraries, auditoriums and patient care facilities, except where space is not shared with non-smokers and is fully enclosed to passive smoke." Smoking would also be prohibited its public areas except where equal facilities are available for both smokers and non-smokers. EVEN IF THE STATE legislators adopt their measure, the University could implement a stricter policy. "So, if they (administrators) want to ban smoking completely from campus, they could do that," said Barry Cargill, a legislative aide to Sen. Vern Ehlers (R-Grand Rapids), who co-sponsored the state's measure. The bill requires that non-smoking areas be closest to sources of fresh air and that people who are hypersen- sitive to smoke be given special con- sideration. INSTITUTIONS THAT FAIL to en- force the regulations face a $100 fine for the first offense and $500 for each incident thereafter. Individuals who break the policy can also be fined.
