And just when you thought that the Michigan Wolverines' helmeted soap opera would end, here comes... Maryland. Maryland? Yes, for the second time in four years the Terrapins from the Atlantic Coast Conference enter Michigan Stadium to topple the Wolverines. The last time they played, the Wolverines shut out Maryland, 20-0. But, the ACC. Isn',t that a basketball division? How can Mich- igan, which happens to be a pretty good basketball school itself, take the ACC school seriously. "Film study, that's the only way to do it," Michigan coach Bo Schembechler said from his dir- ector's chair at his Monday press luncheon. "Show them game films and just say 'That's the facts. Look at it and there they are."' But you don't need 30 millimeter Dolby Sensurround to make Schem- bechler serious about an oppenent. "They've played some good foot- ball teams, some good quarterbacks," Schembechler said of the 1-3 Ter- rapins. "Their defense is good, very quick. It's a good defensive team and we need a challenge like that." In other words, the fifth win- ningest coach in college football history plans to test the young offense and run the heck out of the football.

Marcos, who ruled the Philip- pines for more than 20 years before being ousted in February 1986, died at 12:40 a.m. yesterday at St. Francis Medical Center. He was 72. Doctors said kidney and lung fail- ure and a widespread infection con- tributed to the cardiac arrest listed as the cause of death. The canny, combative politician, who governed at times as a democrat, at times as a dictator, died without facing trial on U.S. criminal charges he plundered the Philippine treasury. While Marcos spent nearly 10 months in the hospital, his family begged Philippine President Corazon Aquino to let him come home to die, but she refused. Aquino took office as aresult of the popular revolt that drove Marcos into exile, and her government has sur- vived six armed attempts to overthrow it. She said she refused again after his death to allow his burial in the Philip- pines for the sake of "the tranquillity of the state and the order of society." "It is just so wrong. It is his birth- right. He is a Filipino, the greatest Filipino, " said Joe Lazo, president of the Honolulu group Friends of Mar- cos. The Federal Aviation Administra- tion in Washington prohibited any aircraft from flying Marcos' remains to the Philippines, saying it would "create a danger to the safety of the aircraft and persons involved."

Recycling looms for off-campus students by Tara Gruzen Daily City Reporter If the Ann Arbor City Council passes a proposed mandatory recycling ordinance, stu- dents living off-campus in fraternities, sorori- ties, co-ops, houses, and apartments will have to change their disposal habits. Those unwill- ing to comply must be ready to face the con- sequences. Failure to obey the ordinance could result in fines of up to $500 or refusal by the city to pick up the unseparated trash. The ordinance may also cause a tax in- crease, said city attorney Bruce Laidlaw. "The overall effect will be an increase in the cost of solid waste handling and the city will need to get the money from somewhere," Laidlaw said. However, Mike Garfield, the Environmental Issues director of the Center, speculated that overall city taxes will be less if the ordinance is passed. The decrease in taxes would figure out to be $100 a year less for every household, said Garfield. The Ann Arbor Ecology Center estimates that the city will save $2.5 million a year on garbage collection and disposal costs if the ordinance is passed. Garfield said the city will probably have to pay more money to haul garbage to a private landfill area for an interim period before it cre- ates more space at the present landfill. His figures are then based on the the amount of money the city would save if the ordinance passes. With recycling, the city will have to haul less garbage to the private landfill, and thus save money, Garfield said Ann Arbor's present landfill is expected to be filled to capacity by March 1991, said City Administrator Del Borgsdorf. The city is presently conducting a study to determine if additional landfill space will be available in the city by that date. Students living on campus would proba- bly not be directly affected by the ordinance because University trash is not handled by city trash collectors. However, it is possible that in the long run the ordinance may de- crease the price of University garbage collec- tion. Presently the University cannot take its trash to the Ann Arbor landfill because it, along with other major institutions in the area, was banned from that site last summer for lack of space. Consequently, the University is forced to transport their trash to Browning Ferris Industries, 20 miles outside of Ann Arbor.

Ever receive a grade of "incomplete" for being too com- plete? Twenty-nine University law students did last term after they ex- ceeded the 4,000 word limit on law professor Carl Schneider's 24-hour * take-home Property class final. Sue Eklund, associate dean of the Law School, said Schneider gave the 29 students the option of either re- taking the final, which he would write and grade, or having the origi- nal final graded on a pass/fail basis. Most of the students opted for the pass/fail grade. Either way, all 29 ended up passing the class, and the "incomplete" was eventually deleted from their records. Both Eklund and Law School Dean Lee Bollinger said they thought Schneider put much thought and energy into his decision on how to grade the exams. "Given the cir- cumstances, I believe Professor Schneider made a reasonable deci- sion," Bollinger said. "It is common to have limits in law," he said. "It is my own per- sonal nractice and also very common would have been inflated. "I wanted the grade to be based on legal reasoning of several kinds, not just one kind," he said. Schneider declined to comment to the Daily. Eklund said while Schneider tried to grade the exam in a way he thought fair, he never defined to his students what he considered a word. When calculating the exam length, Schneider counted a number and ab- breviation each as a word; case names such as Roe v. Wade equalled three words. After allowing for a 100-word buffer, Schneider gave "incompletes" to those students who wrote over 4,000 words, according to Eklund. "I estimated the number of words in my final using two methods - 250 words per page and 10 words per line - and came up under 4,000 words," said one of the 29 students, who requested anonymity. "It took me about an hour and 45 minutes to count every single word, number, and abbreviation," the stu- dent said. "There are seven other stu- by Mike Sobel Here come the perennial signs of late September: cooling temperatures, the end of Greek rush, and snowball- ing workloads. But for Jewish stu- dents, the end of September also indi- cates the beginning of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the Jewish high holy days. Services for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, begin tonight. They mark the start of a ten-day period of "Chuvah," or re- pentance, which ends a week from Monday with the traditional Yom Kippur fast. Rabbi Robert Dobrusin of Ann Arbor's Beth Israel Congregation said the high holy days bring out the largest participation during the year. "It is a time when Jews outside the structure of the synagogue come back to ob- serve." Because the holiday falls on a week- end this year, many students are taking the opportunity to go home and cele- brate the new year with their families. But some students feel that the holidays, whether they entail a trip home ora few hours at temple, can dis- rupt their studies. Susan Langnas, an LSA junior from Southfield, Michigan, usually returns home for the holidays. She pointed out that although there is no official break at the University, professors are re- quired to give extensions on papers and tests that fall on Rosh Hashanah w. y and Yom Kippur. Many students, unable or unin- clined to make the i trek home, will observe Rosh Ha- shanah through the campus' Hillel Foundation. Hillel, which sponsors a M host of student or- ganizations, is the cultural center of Jewish activity at the University. Tonight, Hillel will hold three services. Each service will represent one of Judaism's three ma- jor branches: Orthodox, Conservative and Reform. Joseph Cohane, Associate Director of Hillel, predicts a turnout of 170 stu- dents for the Orthodox service, 400- 500 at the Reform service and 1300- See HoLIDAY, page 2 Down the chute Chris Shuba, age 4, slides down structure at Fuller Park. the slide at the community built play i I I I I
