Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, March 27, 1989 Fans point towards Seattle I DAVID LUBLINER/Dady Roaring fans crowded into Lexington's Rupp Arena to watch Michigan defeat Virginia and qualify for the Final Four of the NCAA basketball tournament to be played in Seattle.. Final Four Continued from Page 1 my old days back at (Los Angeles) Fairfax High, where you're in a groove and you feel you're the best player on the court." As a team, Michigan made 58.6 percent of its shots. Virginia,.on the other hand; had trouble finding the basket, shooting just 38 perecent from the field. "I .was a little surprised by the way Virginia played," Fisher said. "They couldn't throw the ball in the ocean. "During the warmups, I felt Vir- ginia might be a little tight. They just weren't going through the drills the way they should have. They. didn't have fire in their eyes. They looked worried about us." - U i ILK~Tim (!1XflElnlIYF W c~4 ~0 ,r''.. .* ' A4 MICHIGAN'S swarming de- fense added to the Wolverines' rout. Morgan was harrassed into just 15 points, 10 below his- average, on 5- of-18 shooting. "My shot wasn't there today," he said. "I was just unable to get my shots off. Nothing felt right. I was just trying too hard, I guess. " Stith, the Atlantic Coast Confer- ence Rookie of the Year, attempted just six shots after scoring 28 points against Oklahoma two days earlier. The Wolverines also dominated the boards, outrebounding Virginia 43-33. Center Loy Vaught led Mich- igan with nine, and Mark Hughes came off the bench to grab seven. When all was said and done, however, it was Fisher's day. As Wolverine fans chanted "Cut the net, Fisher, cut the net!" Fisher took his place in NCAA Tournament history, being the first interim coach to take a team to the Final Four. THE DAILY CLASSIFIEDS ARE A GREAT WAY TO GET FAST RESULTS CALL 764-0557 "I pinched myself to make sure I'm in the land of the living," Fisher said. "Never in my wildest dreams did I-think I'd be sitting here as head coach of the University of Michigan on its way to the Final Four." Blue banter Huge victory: The Wolverines' 37-point margin of victory was the largest ever by a Michigan team in any post-season tournament. Century mark experts: Saturday's game with Virginia was the third time that Michigan has scored 100 points or more in NCAA play. 'M' All-Tournament: Along with Rice, Higgins, and Robinson, the rest of the All-Tournament team for the Southeast Region consisted of Virginia's John Crotty and North Carolina's J.R. Reid. Blowin' in the wind: Fisher was presented with a birthday cake by Robinson and Higgins in a pre-game press conference last Friday. When Fisher asked for help with blowing out the candles, Higgins remarked: "That's what happens when you're 44, you begin to lose you wind." Fisher retorted: "You just wait until practice, then we'll see who loses their wind." IN BREF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Soviets vote in elections MOSCOW - For the first time in more than 70 years, Soviets had a choice of candidates when they voted yesterday for a new parliament. Mikhail Gorbachev hailed the election as a triumph for his vision of democracy. However, maverick candidate, Boris Yeltsin, running to represent Moscow in the new 2,250-seat Congress of People's deputies, claimed many soviets are worried about vote fraud and said the election wasn't completely democratic. The millions of voters elected 1,500 deputies to the congress, which later will choose the country's president and elect about 400 of its mem- bers to a new full-time legislature, the Supreme Soviet. The Communist party, labor unions and other officially sanctioned or- ganizations have already directly elected 750 members of the congress, which will meet once a year. Gorbachev is already assured of a seat in the new congress, and the elections are unlikely to produce any major upheaval in the present power structure, which is dominated by the Communist Party. Bush, Congress debate policy WASHINGTON - Two top Bush administration officials sought to smooth over an apparent disagreement in the White House by denying yesterday that they had surrendered any authority to Congress by reaching an agreement last week on aid to Nicaraguan guerrillas. Secretary of State James Baker and White House national security ad- viser Brent Snowcroft said they did not agree with published remarks at- tributed to the White House council, Boyden Gray, that the deal en- croached on the power of the president to conduct foreign policy. "If you look at the accord carefully, you will see that the leadership of Congress acknowledges the president's primary responsibility for imple- menting foreign policy," Baker said. President Bush, appearing at the White House with congressional leaders from both parties to announce the deal last Friday, hailed it as a return to a bipartisan foreign policy. Gov't says guerrillas were killed KABUL, Afghanistan - Moslem guerrillas bombarded Jalalabad with rockets and artillery shells yesterday, and government forces retaliated with heavy air and ground attacks, the Foreign Ministry said. A spokesperson for the communist government said 248 guerrillas, 12 civilians and 3 soldiers were killed yesterday around Jalalabad. He said 55 others were wounded and 12 houses were destroyed. The official Radio Kabul,hmonitored in Islamabad, Pakistan said "after a shameful defeat" U.S.-backed rebels fled their positions around the city. But the guerrilla-controlled Afghan News Agency, also monitored in Islamabad, said insurgents were successfully attacking posts flanking the embattled city to the north and south. Rebels reported no death toll after yesterday's fighting. There was no independent confirmation of either report. Exxon reveals that third mate was piloting tanker VALDEZ, Alaska - The tanker that caused the nation's biggest oil spill when it ran aground on a reef was being piloted by its third mate, violating company policy that the captain remain on the bridge, Exxon Shipping Co. said yesterday. Alaska's governor, meanwhile, prepared to declare once-pristine Prince William Sound a disaster area as the toll on the waterway's abundant wildlife began to mount. The Coast Guard said the slick and patches of oil separated from it were spread over 50 square miles. Exxon Shipping Co. spokesperson Brian Dunphy told the Associated Press that the captain of the tanker Exxon Valdez, Joseph Hazlewood, was not on the bridge at the time of the accident and that third mate Gregory Cousins was in command. "It's Exxon's policy that in the waters that the ship was located in, the captain should have been on the bridge," said Dunphy. EXTRAS Tired of protests Californa students protest nothing SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - It was a protest to end all protests. A group of college students staged a protest for no reason, holding blank signs and distributing fliers that said nothing. They insisted nothing was on their minds. "The whole point is there are so many protests that people don't read the signs and don't care anymore," said Bryan Finch,22, a Caprillo Col- lege student who organized Friday's "non-protest" and served as the offi- cial "unspokesperson." He said the group was protesting the trivialization of protests. "People are making them worthless by doing them so much," said Finch.
