"It doesn't matter whether you win by one or by 10 because when it comes down to this (the playoffs), all you want to do is win." Western jumped out to a 2-0 lead at the end of the first period on goals by starting defensemen Chris Clark and Mike Posma. The Wolverines had only one good scoring chance in the period on a point-blank backhander by center Mike Moes. Horn, who had been victimized by shots through his legs Friday night, stopped this effort to put the puck underneath him. THE BRONCOS picked up in the second period where they left off in the first. Winger Shane Redshaw beat Michigan .defender Mark Sorensen and skated in alone on goalie Warren Sharples. His goal at the 1:32 mark gave Western a com- manding 3-0 lead. Two power-play goals by the Broncos, who were third in the CCHA in that category, upped the lead to 5-0. Both shots beat a sprawled and battered Sharples, who vented his See ICERS, Page 10 Daily Photo by ROBIN LOZNAK Warming up for college Kalamazoo high school senior Eric McAlpine works on a Macintosh at the UGLi Computing Center while his parents, Linda and Fred, and center supervisor, Donna Fisher, look on.

Conference stresses lobbying for Israel Regents meet, choose new AD By STEVE BLONDER The University's Board of Re- gents held a special closed meeting Saturday morning to discuss who would be asked to replace Michigan Athletic Director Don Canham when he retires July 1. Interim University President Robben Fleming said that he had been given authority by the regents to offer the job to and to negotiate with one of three final candidates. The three finalists are reported to be Michigan football coach Bo Schem- bechler, North Carolina Athletic Di- rector John Swofford, and St. Louis advertising executive Clayton Wil- hite. SWOFFORD heads one of the top athletic programs in the country, and is very happy at North Carolina. He took himself out of the running for the Michigan athletic director See FINALISTS, Page 8 By ERIC LEMONT More than 300 students from colleges throughout the midwest at- tended a Political Leadership Train- ing Seminar yesterday to gain in- sight into U.S-Israeli relations and learn how to get involved in lobby- ing for pro-Israeli causes in Wash- ington. Sponsored by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a lobby- } ing group for the American Jewish community, the day-long conference at the business school focused on teaching students about current events in the Middle East. AIPAC's Campus Leadership Director Rachel Weinberg said the conference, from a political perspec- tive, was also aimed at teaching stu- dents the various ways they can get involved in the American political process. The students participated in vari- ous workshops and listened to sev- eral speakers, including Congress member Howard Wolpe (D-Mich.). In reference to the recent uprising in the Gaza Strip, Wolpe said the Israeli military is "ill equipped" to handle the Palestinian retaliation. Wolpe said written guidelines for using "lethal force" should be estab- lished. Wolpe recognized an "urgent need" to restore some sort of politi- cal process to the area; he said Secretary of State George Shultz's peace initiative, "albeit very late, should be encouraged." Elsy Ben-Ezra, an LSA senior, said she came to the conference seeking some effective ways to ad- dress the problem in the Gaza Strip. "I've been very passive until now, but what's been happening recently has really disturbed me," Ben-Ezra said. In addition to the situation in the West Bank, the seminar stressed po- litical activism. The workshop enti- tled "Student as Lobbyist: The Leg- islative Agenda" showed the partici- pants how to get more involved in lobbying for foreign aid to Israel and See AIPAC, Page 5 Doily Photo by ROBIN LOZNAK Compromising position Iowa's John Heffernan battles Michigan's Joe Pantaleo in the finals of the 158-pound weight class yesterday at Crisler Arena.

MSA OFFERS REWARD: Caller claims he made threat By JIM PONIEWOZIK and RYAN TUTAK A man identifying himself as a Black Univer- sity student contacted The Daily last night to claim responsibility for a death threat received last Tuesday by a member of the United Coali- tion Against Racism steering committee. But the UCAR member who received the call said that, based on his explanation of the inci- dent, she did not believe he is the caller. Also yesterday, the Michigan Student Assem- bly's steering committee passed a resolution of- fering a $2,500 reward for information leading to the arrest or conviction of the person who made the death threat. THE UCAR member discovered the threat on her answering machine Tuesday night. The message, in a male voice, attacked her for state- ments she made in The Daily and threatened to rape and kill her. The man, who would not reveal his name, apologized for the incident, which he said was "immature," an accident, and intended as a practi- cal joke on a friend of his who he said had been quoted earlier in The Daily. The man said he was in his room with some friends who were planning to make threatening phone calls to another friend and the UCAR of- fice. He said he offered to speak on the phone for his friends, who are white, and who had planned on speaking in an imitation Black accent. HE SAID he took the phone from a friend of his, who had already dialed the "UCAR" num- ber, and left the threatening message, thinking that his friend had dialed the other friend's num- ber. He said he disguised his voice to sound "deep and scratchy," but did not try to disguise the fact that he was Black. But the UCAR member said yesterday that the man's description of his voice did not describe the one on her answering machine. "The voice on my answering machine sounded like it was white," she said, adding that people for whom she has played the recording also thought it was a white person's voice. "HE COULD very well be lying," she said. "It sounds like he is to me."
