The fifth-ranked Wolverines were led by running back Tony Boles, who became the first Michigan back this season to rush for 100 yards, and a defense which held the Spartans in crucial situations. "It was a nice hard-hitting game. There were a lot of good collisions out there," Michigan coach Bo Schembechler said afterward. "This was a big, big win for us." "The best team won. What more can I say." The Wolverines may be forced to play Iowa next week without the services of linebacker J.J. Grant. The senior co-captain injured his knee late in the game, and the knee was not able to support any weight after the game. Michigan State did manage to find the end zone once, which marked only the fourth time they have scored a touchdown against Michigan in the last seven years. With the victory, the Spartans took a major step backward in their quest to spend New Years Day in Pasadena, while the Wolverines remain tied for the Big Ten lead with a 2-0 conference record.

Boles had 100 yards in the game, which Michigan won, 10-7. -Right to life holds 16th annual conference by Vera Songwe Daily Minority Issues Reporter Right to Life of Michigan held their 16th annual conference this weekend in Ann Ar- bor. "Our basis has always been to try to reach as many people as possible, so the conference is mostly educational," said Bar- bara Listing, president of Michigan Right to Life. "We feel that abortion is not the 'great al- ternative' it is made out to be; if wombs had windows, there would probably be fewer abortions than there are today," Listing said. The keynote speaker at the conference was Bev Daw, president of the Kingston and District RLA in Canada. She began her speech by telling the audience she had an abortion when she was 16. "At 16 I wanted to get out in the quickest and simplest way possible," Daw said. "I didn't tell my parents. I had only one alterna- tive, and that was abortion." Daw said the workers at the clinic told her what she was carrying was not a baby, but she said, "As a woman we know it is a human being from the very day we know we are pregnant. All that happens at birth is that the baby comes out through a passageway." "I do not believe the radical feminists when they say they do not suffer," Daw said. She admitted that her abortion brought with it an immediate feeling of freedom, but what followed was very painful. "My initial reaction was a sense of re- lief," she said. "It was only temporarily, and after that I went into a serious depression. I became an alcoholic and was even suicidal. I did not believe I could build a relationship, and I considered myself a failure." Daw told the 350-member audience about a condition known as Post-Abortion Syn- drome. People do not talk about the syn- drome, she said, because they refuse to ac- cept that abortion is not the right way to deal with an unwanted pregnancy. If women "had gotten the proper training, they would not have gotten themselves in the mess in the first place," Daw said. In- stead of fighting over abortion, she said the pro-choice and pro-life advocates should pool their resources towards educating the public on how to prevent unwanted pregnancies be- fore they occur. "After 11 years, 'murder' may be a strong word for some people," Daw said, sobbing. "But I murdered my baby, and now if I pre- vent one more baby from going to the slaughter then all my fighting has not been in vain." Women, she continued, are also victims of abortion because clinics and Planned Par- enthood do not care for them following the procedure, leaving them to deal with the problems on their own. Speaking next was Wanda Franz, a pro- fessor of child development and family rela- tions at West Virginia University, who ad- dressed the issue of teenage abortion and parental consent. See ABORTION, page 2 .Riots rage on MSU, WMU campuses Violence, vandalism hit the streets Associated Press Police in East Lansing and Kalamazoo spent yesterday restoring order after a night of alcohol-fueled violence and vandalism near two college campuses, resulted in arrests and injuries. The unruly behavior in East Lansing was' sparked by the 10-7 loss by Michigan State to' Big Ten rival Michigan on Saturday. "The U of M and MSU rivalry tends to get people more excited and there seems to be more drinking," said Lt. Terry Meyer of the MSU Department of Public Safety. During the evening, a crowd of about 3,000 people started at least two bonfires in the streets, throwing in bikes, trees, and couches taken from student apartments, said Capt. Richard Murray of the East Lansing police department. Ambulances were unable to make it through the crowd and several injured people were walked out to the street by plainclothes officers, said Murray, who estimated there were 'The U of M and MSU "Tear gas would have forced people from their apartments into the very situation they were trying to avoid," he said. "This could have caused more panic and injury." The problems started earlier Saturday when 82 people were issued citations and kicked out of the stadium for trying to sneak alcohol into the game, said Lt. Terry Meyer of the Michigan State University Department of Public Safety. No one was arrested because by the time officers penetrated the area, around 4:30 a.m., most of the hostile crowd was gone, police said. In Kalamazoo, where Western Michigan was celebrating its homecoming against Central'Michigan, police said about 3,000 revelers were in the street. Dumpsters and cars were set on fire and officers were pelted with rocks and bottles, said Lt. Curtis Berglin of the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety. Tear gas was used to disperse the crowd of mostly. Western Michigan students. S African government releases eight prisoners SOWETO, South Africa (AP) - Eight leaders of the anti-apartheid movement became free men yester- day, seven of them after at least 25 years in jail, and told rejoicing supporters that equality for blacks in South Africa is within reach. Walter Sisulu, 77, a friend and colleague of African National Congress leader Nelson Mandela, proudly presided over the first news conference held by the organization in South Africa since it was banned in 1960. "Our determination has never been weakened by our long years of imprisonment," Sisulu told scores of reporters and hundreds of ANC followers who packed a church hall. "We have been strengthened by the devel- opments in our country and our own clear vision of the future." Some in the crowd wept as the freed prisoners, raising clenched fists, led their supporters in singing "God Bless Africa," the anthem of the anti-apartheid movement. Sisulu and six other ANC members were freed early Sunday. Also freed was Jafta Masemola, 58, of the Pan Africanist Congress, a smaller guerilla movement. or s: r y .PP y ?
