C, No. 84 Ann Arbor, Michigan -Thursday, February 1, 1990 TheMichigan ail Purdue pummels M' Bush calls Boilers shoot 70%, win 91-73 By Taylor Lincoln Daily Basketball Writer Prior to last night's game against Purdue, it probably would have pleased Michigan coach Steve Fisher if you told him that little-used players Chris Seter and Tony Tolbert would record their first points in Big Ten games. However, if you told him that Boilermaker center Steve Scheffler would not miss a shot before he had fifteen points, he might have frowned. And if you added that the Boilermakers would shoot 70 percent for the game, Fisher would have gotten the idea that Purdue, and not Michigan, would celebrate an easy victory. But that's how it went. Former Detroit Southwestern forward Loren Clyburn danced in the center court circle of Crisler Arena in the closing seconds of Purdue's 91- 73 win. He held his index finger in the air, saying 'were No. 1.' "When the coaches see that on the film he should get his finger cut off," Sheffler said afterwards. But for Clyburn, who twice lost high school state championship games at Crisler, this was a time for celebration. The Boilermakers, who surprised everyone by winning their first seven games, had put any remaining doubts to rest. "We got a good whipping from a very good basketball team," Fisher said." They were running off the floor saying 'we're for real' and they are." Not only are they for real, they are on the verge of running away with the conference title, currently leading the league by two and a half games. Aside from a brief stretch in the second half, the Boilermakers dominated the entire game. They shot 70 percent from the field in the first half, a statistic that was exceeded only by their 80 percent shooting from three point range and their 100 percent shooting from the foul line. See PURDUE, Page 9 for troop reductions WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) - President Bush, propelled by the political upheaval in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, proposed a dramatic cut in U.S. and Soviet combat troops yesterday, saying in his first State of the Union address "the time is right to move forward." With ambassadors from across the world in atten- dance, Bush told a joint session of Congress, "We are in a period of great transition, great hope, yet great uncer- tainty..." "The events of the year just ended - the revolution of '89 - have been a chain reaction, change so striking that it marks the beginning of a new era in the world's affairs." Bush also announced plans to withdraw all of the nearly 13,000 troops sent to Panama in an invasion to oust Gen. Manual Antonio Noriega "well before the end of February." Hours before he delivered his address to Congress and a national television audience, Bush telephoned Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev yesterday to advise him of his proposal to cut U.S. and Soviet forces in Central Europe to 195,000 on each side. "We recognize that the Soviet military threat in Eu- rope is diminishing but we see little change in Soviet strategic modernization....But the time is right to move forward on a conventional arms-control agreement to move us to more appropriate levels of military forces in Europe," he said. His troop offer was the surprise centerpiece of a speech in which Bush also proposed lofty goals for American schools and prodded lawmakers to approve his plans for a capital gains tax cut and bills dealing with clean air, child care, crime, drugs, education and other issues.

Graduate school dean may receive vice provost title by Noelle Vance Daily Administration Reporter A University student was sexually assaulted by a man with a knife in her residence hall early yesterday morning, Ann Arbor police said. Police reports also said the student believes her assailant was the same man who attacked her as she was walking to her car last Wednesday night. The woman, a resident of one of the Hill dorms, was in one of her dorm's restrooms at 3:12 a.m. when a man wearing a ski mask and a dark turtleneck burst into the room brandishing a "razor-tight utility knife," police said. Calling her by name, the man allegedly demanded the student perform a sexual act. Ann Arbor Police Sgt. Sherry Vail said the student, after biting her assailant on the arm, was able to get to her room and call campus security, which subsequently contacted the Ann Arbor police. During another attack last Wednesday, the woman told police, a man - who also had a knife, she See ASSAULT, Page 2 Another University administrator may receive a new title as part of University President James Duder- stadt's plan to restructure the admin- istration. John D'Arms, dean of the Rack- ham graduate school and a history professor, may be named Vice Provost for Graduate School Studies, said Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Charles Vest yes- terday. The decision to upgrade D'Arms' title has not been officially made, Vest said. Before D'Arms can be- come a vice provost, Vest must submit a proposal for approval to the University's Board of Regents. "The main objective is to bring the dean of the graduate school and the provost and the main research of- ficer into an even closer working re- lationship," D'Arms said. As provost, D'Arms would re- main dean of Rackham and have the same responsibilities he has now, but he would have "a broader role in the administration," Vest said. The exact details of this role have not been worked out, D'Arms said. But the general difference between a dean and a vice provost, is the dean only works within one school, while a vice provost's duties embrace all of the schools and colleges. As dean of Rackham, D'Arms said he already works with every school and college because graduate students study in all areas. The upgrading of the title would be another step towards making the graduate school and the office of re- search into parallel offices, Vest said. Last October, Duderstadt an- nounced at*his state of the Univer- sity address the administration would institute several structural changes. Among these, the Vice President for Research would become a Vice Provost, and along with the Vice President for Student services, would report to the Provost. The effect of the changes is to better link research and education, Vest said. Recently, a new administrative post - vice president for commu- nity relations - was established to betterlink the community with the University.

New A2 by Laura Gosh publication addresses lesbian ar a3 I A new publication for Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti's lesbian and gay male communities - the first of its kind in the area in 10 years - released its first edition in January. The name of the news-monthly, "Ten Percent," is meant to reflect and lesbians, inform homosexuals about events in the community and increase involvement, publicize and keep a record of acts of discrimina- tion, assault and attacks on lesbians and gay males, said Culver. Jim Toy, co-director of the' University's Lesbian and Gay Male dn gay ma Some have criticized the first issue because of a lack of input from the lesbian community. Toy said, "It is only one voice from the gay men's community. It would be nice if other voices could be heard." But Culver said the newsletter will try to give equal voice to women and minorities as well as le issues WCBN members have confirmed. "10 Percent" alleges that the radio station tried to avoid the negative publicity the story would create by not reporting the incident to the affirmative action office of the University. However, Brad Heavner, WCBN's general manager, disagrees. He said I m.z . -. .. a . . gyn. . ,
