And to everyone's surprise, it arrived early. No buzzer shots. No final minute madness. No way. Not this time. THIS TIME, the Michigan Wolverines sealed their second con- secutive Big Ten Championship in gallant fashion with an 80-52 crushing of the once mighty Indiana Hoosiers. This time, all but the opposition provided the drama, and when Rich Rellford, Gary Grant, Roy Tarpley, and a grinning Bill Frieder joined arms in a victory embrace with 2:25 remaining in the game, the picture was complete. Saturday, the Wolverines showed their artistry. They dabbed, brushed, and literally dunked Bob Knight's Hoosier's in maize and blue paint. Then they hid the turpentine. For 14,198 bellowing faithful who expected a heated contest, Michigan chilled their expectations and instead gave them a blowout. But if anyone left disappointed, Indiana was responsible. THE WOLVERINES entered the game tied with the flourishing Hoosiers. Fourty minutes later, they departed with the Big Ten trophy and Hoosiers at their feet, after kicking sand in the collective face of Indiana. The game was about as one-sided as "The 700 Club." Michigan labored out to an early 18-12 lead, then quickly took the Hoosiers out of the game with two consecutive 6-0 runs sandwiched around a Winston Morgan baseline drive. When Grant stole the ball, rushed downcourt and dunked it, the Wolverines held a 32-16 lead and half one still had six minutes remaining. "THIS IS two games in a row (In- diana and Ohio State) where we jum- ped on teams," said Grant, "and we were ready to go in the beginning. "The thing that we're doing now is being ready when the game first star- ts, and then getting an eight-or 10- point lead." But this lead on this particular Saturday was 16, then 18 and finally 19 when halftime arrived. If the picture had been blurred at the start, it was crystal clear when Michigan took a 44-25 advantage into the locker room. This time, there would be no letdown, no contagious throw-the-game-away mistakes. "We said once we get them on the ropes, we can't do like we were doing early in the year," explained Rellfor- d, who pumped in 13 points and pulled down six rebounds in his final regular season game as a Wolverine. "So we just kept the heat on." Every Wolverine sizzled as Michigan set a club record for vic- tories with a 27-4 finish, overturning last year's mark of 26-4. The fire, however, started away from the basket.

Marchers By JILL OSEROWSKY Special to the Daily WASHINGTON - More than 125,000 people marched under sunny skies in the nation's capital yesterday to show their support for birth control and safe, legal abortions. The "March for Women's Lives," *qrganized by the National Organization for Women, drew marchers from around the country who walked from. Constitution Mall to the Capitol chanting slogans such as "not the church, not the state, women must decide their fate." Marchers gathered on the steps of the Capitol to hear speakers who addressed civil rights and abortion issues. IN AN arousing speech, NOW President Eleanor Smeal told the demonstrators that "you cannot sacrifice women on the altar of rally support for legalized abortions self-righteousness." She urged pro-choice supporters nationwide to take action and show that they are a majority. "The number game is over. The silent majority will be silent no more," she said. "This is just the beginning. We in 1986 are going to stop anti-abortion referendums on- ce and for all." Two thousand people are expected to con- verge on the capital today to lobby against the anti-abortioin rider attached to the Civil Rights.Restoration Act. The rider, which would make abortion illegal, is holding up the restoration act in Congress. The act would renew legislation prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex, race, age, or physical disability. MADELINE HANSEN, the president of the Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County chap- ter of NOW, estimated that about 100 Ann Arbor residents and University students at- tended the rally. Many children also joined the men and women who showed up to pledge support. Amy Simon, an LSA junior, said she was pleased with the number of men who atten- ded the rally. "So many times abortion is considered a women's issue, but it's ob- viously an issue for everybody," she said. Simon warned that students should not take the right to a safe abortion for granted. "It's hard to see that there's a real threat to lose the right. But I think the threat is real. They could take it away - they have to be fought," she said. A FEW anti-abortion protesters lined the three-mile route, but there was no violence. One man was arrested after he shoved a jar containing an aborted fetus at the mar- chers. The march culminated on the steps of the Capitol with speeches by legislators, educators, and religious leaders. "Our nation and churches and synagogues need to affirm women as moral decision- makers who are the equals of men," said Barbara Ferarro, a nun who refused orders by the Vatican to recant her pro-choice views. Ferarro is one of a group of 24 nuns, called the Vatican 24, who took out an ad last year in the New York Times saying that some Catholics disagree with the Pope on the abortion issue. "That which makes us human is choice," Ferarro said in defense of a woman's right to an abortion. Gay Williams, a recent graduate of Harvard University and president of the National Poliical Congress of Black Women, urged the younger people in the audience to fight for women's right to choose an abor- tion. "When young people move, the world turns over," she said. Yesterday's rally was the largest women's rights demonstration ever. A similar event is scheduled to take place next Sunday in Los Angeles. Police follow Livermore protesters By ROB EAR LE Ann Arbor police and campus security officers followed several protesters from North Campus to University President Harold Shapiro's office Friday after a rally against a major defense contractor.

By MARY CHRIS JAKLEVIC The Michigan Student Assembly Steering Committee yesterday took its first step in a politically-charged investigation of the assembly's Budget Priorities Committee. A special panel consisting of five Steering Committee members was appointed to investigate charges that the BPC discriminated against liberal groups in its allocation procedures and that it made some groups wade through excessive red tape before get- ting their allocations. THE SPECIAL panel, which in- cludes BPC chair Kurt Meunchow, will begin the investigation this week by mailing questionnaires to the groups that requested BPC funding in the last year. The Steering Committee agreed not to release the results of the in- vestiga.tion until after the MSA elec- tion later this month, a move which some Steering Committee members See ASSEMBLY, Page 2 ..:" 'Crew remains' detected CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (UPI) - The wreckage of the shuttle Challenger's crew compartment has been found on the debris-littered seabed off the coast of Florida with "crew remains" still on board, the space agency announced yesterday. NASA spokesman Hugh Harris, who stressed that he did not know how many of the shuttle's seven astronauts may be inside the wreckage, said the cabin was found Friday by sonar at a depth of about 100 feet. At that time, Harris said, family members of the slain astronauts, in- cluding New Hampshire high school teacher Christa McAuliffe, were notified. Recovery operations are ex; pected to take several days.
