The game featured two kickoff returns for touchdowns by Notre Dame's Raghib "Rocket" Ismail. 6M by Adam Schrager Daily Sports Writer falls to Fighting Irish by Noah Finkel Daily Administration Reporter A heavily-revised University pol- icy that punishes students for dis- crimination and harassment was put into effect Friday by University President James Duderstadt. Duderstadt announced the enact- ment of an interim policy on dis- crimination and discriminatory con- duct to the University's Board of Regents at its monthly meeting Friday morning. The president used the powers given him under Regental Bylaw 2.01, which allowedehim to put the policy in place without a vote of the regents. Last month, a federal court struck down many parts of the original pol- icy, which was passed by the regents in March, 1988. Duderstadt said the new policy, like the old one, aims to "protect the rights of all our students to learn free from harassment." The policy is less vague and broad than the original policy, which Judge Avern Cohn ruled unconstitu- tional after a challenge by the American Civil Liberties Union. Cohn said the policy, which pro- hibited verbal conduct that stigma- tizes an individual in an academic setting, violated the First Amendment. University General Counsel Elsa Cole, who helped write the new pol- icy, compared it with the old policy: "The difference in this policy is that we are focusing right now on injury directed at a person with the purpose of harming an individual, as opposed to aimed at a group with no intent to injure." Under the new policy, a student could be punished if a racial epithet were made to a person with the in- tent to harm, but not if a comment: deemed racist was made during a: classroom discussion. Under the old See POLICY, page 8 President.' avoids regent vote by Noah Finkel Daily Administration Reporter University President James Duderstadt was in a bind last week.' Because the original anti-discrim- ination policy was declared unconsti- tutional, he wanted the University's Board of Regents to enact a new in- terim policy at its monthly meeting, which was held last Thursday and Friday. See BYLAW, Page 9 After Raghib "Rocket" Ismail had returned the second half kickoff for 88 yards and a touchdown, Notre Dame head coach Lou Holtz didn't figure his sophomore speedster would get any more special teams action for the rest of the game. "When the second kick came, I figured they were going to squib it," said Holtz. "When they kicked it deep, someone behind me said, 'Oh boy, here we go again."' Ismail took the second kickoff back 91 yards for his second touch- down and the deciding points in de- fending National Champion and No. 1 ranked Notre Dame's 24-19 Wolverines stunned by 2 "Rocket" kickoff returns triumph over the second-ranked Wolverines. "(Ismail) might be the best that I've ever seen," said Michigan spe- cial teams coach and head coach Bo Schembechler. "He's faster than the speed of sound. We couldn't tackle him." The Wilkes-Barre, Pa. native, who was undefeated on the Irish in- door track squad last spring, set an all-time Notre Dame record for kickoff returns for touchdowns with a total of four. Last year against Rice, Ismail also returned two kicks for touchdowns. "It would be unfair to just give me the game ball," said Ismail, whose two brothers are nicknamed "The Bomb" and "The Missile." "The entire return team deserves game balls. All I have to do is catch the ball and run. They've got the hard iob" Michigan quarterback Michael Taylor did not throw a pass in prac- tice all week and suffered a sore back when scrambling in the third quarter. His status for this Saturday's game against UCLA is still uncertain.
