The Boilermakers found out all they wanted to know about Florida in last year's second round when they were smashed by the Gators, 85-66. Earlier this year Florida also romped over big Ten opponent Ohio State, in Columbus, 102-69, and Michigan State 83-59. Now, Michigan will be trying to help the Big Ten payback the Southeasetern Conference foe in today's West Regional game at the Jon M. Huntsman Center (2:25 tipoff). "They are talented, impressive, and when they put it together, they are going to be awfully difficult beat," Frieder said. THE WOLVERINES will be trying to advance to the final 16 for the first time in the last four years of tournament play. Florida reached that round last year before bowing out of the tournament with a loss to the national runner-up, Syracuse. "Michigan is certainly better than pretty good," said Florida's coach Norm Sloan. "They are very powerful so we know it's going to be a tough ball game, but we look forward to it." This year, both teams enter the second round after similar opening victories. Each team let big leads slip away and had to hang on at the end to advance. The Wolverines, 25-7, led Boise St. by 18 points with 12 minutes to play, but made only three field- goals the rest of the game and escaped with a 63-58 win after the Broncos' missed a potential tying three point attempt in the final seconds. FLORIDA, 23-11, jumped to a 13 point lead over St. Johns in the first half of their game and never trailed. However, the Redmen fought back to tie the game for the first time on a Greg "Boo" Harvey jump- shot with 15 seconds left. Without any timeouts, Florida came down the court and guard Vernon Maxwell calmly sank a long three pointer to save the game and give the Gators' a 62-59 victory. Maxwell, a 6-5 senior guard, is the Gators top player. Rumeal Robinson will draw the assignment of trying to contain Maxwell, who averaged 20.2 points per game this year. "You just have to make sure he doesn't get by you and create problems," Robinson said. "If I can keep him outside it will allow the big guys to play tough inside and stay out of foul trouble." The Wolverines big men will be especially impor- tant in this game because of 7-2 Dwayne Schintzius. The sophomore center has been erratic, but Michigan has had trouble stopping big centers, and Schintzius has the potential to have a high-scoring game. Michigan will be trying to take advantage of Florida's lack of depth by pushing the ball up the court and creating a fast paced game. The Gators had only eight players dressed against St. Johns but will have one more today. Guard Ronnie Montgomery returns to the starting lineup after being suspended for a fight in the SEC tournament. Liv- ingston Chatman and Pat Lawrence are the other prob- able starters. In the past few weeks, Sloan has lost four players. One was injured, another two had bad grades, and one starter, Chris Capers quit the team because he did not start in a game. Sloan is not worried about the loss of those players though. "I don't think it is having an effect," he said.

If the Administrator has notified the accused that suspen- sion or expulsion are potential sanc- tions, the attorney for the accused may participate fully in the hearing,: including examining witnesses, ob- jecting to evidence and speaking on behalf of the accused. The hearing1 will be tape recorded. At its conclu- sion, the panel will discuss the evi- dence with the complaining witness and the accused. It will then deliberate in private. The panel is obligated to enforce the University's policy of nondiscrimination in its deliberations and decisions. 5. The Decision of the Hearing Panel If a majority of the panel finds that there is clear and convincing ev- idence of a violation of the policy, it shall consider and recommend an ap- propriate sanction, in light of all the circumstances. It shall notify the ac- cused of its findings and its recom- mended sanction. If the accused ac- cepts the finding and the sanction, the result will be communicated to the Vice President for Student Services, who will enforce the sanction. If the accused disputes the findings or the recommended sentence, he or she may appeal to an appellate panel com- prised of one student and one faculty member selected each year by lot from the list of eligible panel members along with the Vice President for Stu- dent Services., The appellate panel %Mill review the evidence and indepen- dently determine both the existence of a violation and the appropriate ac- tion...- D. Sanctions Hearing panels should fashion sanctions commensurate with the of- fendingconduct. Because education may be the most effective and appro- priate means of addressing discrimi- natory behavior, the University en- courages hearing panels to fashion sanctions which include an educa- tional element. Regrettably, some conduct is so harmful to members of the University community or deleter- ious to the educational process that it requires more punitive sanctions. Hearing panels should impose such sanctions where appropriate. Certain factors should be consid- ered in fashioning the sanctions, in- cluding the intent of the accused, the effect of theiconduct on the victim and the University community, the degree of remorse, whether the student has violated the policy in the past, whether sanctions such as education and community service are likely to change the student's attitudes, and the effect of the sanction on the student's standing within the University. The most severe sanctions, suspension from specific courses or activities, suspension from the University and expulsion, should be imposed only when the offending behavior involved violent or dangerous acts, repeated offenses, or willful failure to comply with a lesser sanction. W full court Gt PRESS Wolverines inflicted with a fatal disease. By SCOTT SHAFFER Special to the Daily Salt Lake City, Utah - The Michigan basketball team has a disease. Its symptoms are apathy, overconfidence, and lack of killer in- stinct. The disease is called compla- cency. Complacency is a terrible thing. It has caused the Wolverines to be content with their 63-58 victory over Boise State on Thursday. Holding an 18 point lead with a little over ten minutes to play, Michigan allowed the smaller, slower, and weaker Broncos to battle back, and, incredibly, have a shot at tying the game in the final 12 sec- onds. BUT THE Wolverines, in the throes of their illness, did not seem concerned. "Despite what you might think, we didn't play as badly as you think," said head coach Bill Frieder. Oh really? In the second half they committed ten turnovers and shot only 57 per- cent from the free-throw line. They missed the front end of one-and-ones four out of five times in the final two and a-half minutes. Gary Grant and Glen Rice, who averaged 44 points between them all year, scored nine and eight respec- tively against a team that could not hold a candle to most Big Ten squads. CLEARLY, something is wrong. ' But when you talk to the team there is no problem. "It was a really great Boise State team that came on and did a great job in the second half. You have to give them a lot of credit," said Mark Hughes, as well as every other Wolverine interviewed. "I feel I can speak for the rest of the team," said Loy Vaught. "We are just happy to come out of the game with the win." AND IT IS precisely that atti- tude that represents what is wrong with team. Suddenly, a three point win over Boise State is cause for celebration. Would a three point win over Eastern Michigan earlier in the year have been such a happy event? Of course not, but none of the Wolverines seem to realize that. Instead of trying to cure them- selves of their problems, they con- tinue to maintain their "just happy to be here" fever. This isn't exactly a new scenario either. Complacency has afflicted Michigan for quite some time. This is the third time in the past four years it has reared its ugly head. IN 1985, it was Farleigh Dick- inson who "played a great game and deserved all the credit in the world," but lost to Michigan 59-55. In 1986, Michigan was "just happy to come out with a win" over Akron, 70-64. Both times they went on to lose their second round games. If their is one man who can cure the team, it is Frieder. He is the one who can make the team realize the error of its ways and help them move on to the second round in Seattle. So what do you have to say for yourself, coach? "Win or lose Saturday, I'm still going to be the basketball coach here. Hey, we want to get to the re- gionals, we want to get to the Final Four... but if we lose, hell, I'm heading to Florida and I'll watch Florida from their next week." Have fun Bill and don't forget to send us a postcard. decision By STEVE BLONDER The University's Board of Regents met again yesterday in a closed meeting to discuss a successor to retiring Athletic Director Don Canham. Interim University President Robben Fleming had originally planned to announce the regents' selection at yesterday's meeting, but some "procedural matters" had yet to be resolved. Fleming declined to explain what he meant, and said an announcement concerning Canham's successor would be made within the next week to ten days. When asked what was causing the delay in naming Canham's successor, Regent Philip Power (D-Ann Ar- bor) said "I can't talk about that." Fleming is scheduled to be out of town from today, until next Saturday. After leaving the closed meeting, Regent James Waters (D-Muskegon) said "(the regents) have a candi- date, but really haven't made a decision. Some of us want to consider others." He continued saying the regents would continue to have closed meetings until they unanimously supported one candidate. Fleming disagreed, saying, "It isn't a case of not knowing what is going on. It's a matter of clearing up some of the problems." Again Fleming refused to de- lineate this point. Waters added that the regents would be having an- other closed meeting later in the week, but he didn't know any of the specifics. Fleming added that "meetings certainly would take place this week." Fleming also said that Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler is not currently being considered for the athletic director position. Schembechler was offered the job last month, but turned down the offer because it required him to retire from coaching after this season. The Ann Arbor News reported yesterday that Uni- versity Director of Business Operations Jack Weiden- bach would be named the athletic director. Regent Thomas Roach (D-Saline) said stories such as the one in the News "are what happens when you take a guess." A member of the search committee, which Weiden- bach was a member of, added his surprise that Weiden- bach would even be considered. Weidenbach is on vacation and unavailable for comment. Both prominent alumni and athletic director person- nel are unanimous in their support for Schembechler. As recent as yesterday, alumni were trying to set up a meeting between Schembechler and Fleming during which a compromise could be worked out, which would allow Schembechler to hold both positions for as long as he desired. -March, 1970: Black Action Movement strike...

Wynder BALSA president Students respond t By ANDREW MILLS and JIM PONIEW OZIK Members of student groups gave mixed reactions yesterday to the Univer- sity Board of Regents' approval of In- terim University President Robben Fleming's proposed policy on discrim- inatory acts. Some students backed the principle of a racial and sexual harassment policy, but said the policy needs to be considered fur- ther and revised. But other students reacted with "disgust" and called the policy "repressive." Michigan Student Assembly members responded angrily to the vote, which MSA President Ken Weine called "a complete slap in the face of the students." Weine criticized the regents for not giving students more time to respond to the proposal before they voted. He said MSA members would probably meet over the weekend to plan the assembly's re- sponse. "The regents are in for a big surprise if they think the code battle is over," MSA Student Rights Committee Chair Michael Phillips said in a statement yesterday. He and other anti-code activists yester- day announced that they would try to mobilize student opposition to the new policy. "MSA should use every resource to prevent the implementation of the code on May first," Phillips said. "MSA should use every resource to force th use eve democi said.
