The Michigan Daily- Friday, April 3, 1992 -Page 3 Students head to D.C. for Sunday's pro-choice march Students off to the Final Four - I} t +t # I e 4 -a I by Gwen Shaffer Daily Staff Reporter It is hard to imagine that any University student would want to leave Ann Arbor this weekend and miss Hash Bash and the Final Four basketball game. However, an estimated 500 University students are roadtripping to Washington, D.C., for a pro- choice march on the Capitol Sunday. Pro-Choice Action member Mimi Arnstein said the threat to Roe vs. Wade - the 1972 landmark case le- galizing abortion - and the upcom- ing presidential election are the main reasons so many students will attend the march. "A lot of women feel it is impor- tant because of the current political climate," Arnstein said. "People see this as possibly their last chance to say how they feel." Several University organizations, including Pro-Choice Action and the Intercooperative Council, are spon- soring buses or vans. In addition, buses will transport students from Eastern Michigan University and the University of Michigan's Flint cam- puses, along with members of the National Organization for Women. Students who have attended other rallies on the Capitol said partici- pants will march with others from their state. Students who want to meet up with other University stu- dents and Ann Arbor residents can look for a NOW banner with purple and gold stripes, NOW members said. Suiting up A woman looks att-shirts for the NCAA Basketball Tournament outside of a store yesterday afternoon. Retailers said they expect a huge demand if the Wolverines win this weekend. Local stores prepare for Final Four souvenir rush by Joshua Meckler Daily Staff Reporter Students who tried to find Final Four hockey and basketball souvenirs may have found them as difficult to obtain as tickets to the events. But if either or both teams emerge victorious from their upcoming national championship battles, fans can be assured there will be plenty of commemorative items available. In anticipation of possible Michigan victories, area book and souvenir shops are preparing orders for thousands of shirts and other items. "Basically, I have to stop everything I'm doing for about a week and prepare for if we win," said Ken Czasak, supply department manager at Ulrich's Bookstore. Czasak said stores must send their or- ders out early, even before knowing if Michigan's teams will make it to the fi- nals. "You have to prepare as if you're go- ing to win. You have to make contacts with vendors and approve artwork, colors and styles. You have to do it because the demand will be very strong. "If we didn't have national champi- onship stuff the day after the game, peo- ple would be outraged - literally," he said. Czasak said he ordered only 144 bas- ketball Final Four shirts because the shirts are only in demand for a short time frame. Still, he said the shirts sold quickly. "(The shirts) came in on Monday afternoon. I think we've got a couple left now." If the hockey team wins the champi- onship Saturday night, Czasak said he would expect items to be available by Sunday. If the basketball team wins Monday night, he said, "I'm sure we'll have some stuff the day after, but it won't be the same selection as by Wednesday or Thursday." Debra Bishop, general manager and buyer for Moe Sports Shops, said she purchased shirts with seven different de- signs for the basketball Final Four and has orders for "thousands and thousands" of national championship shirts. "We'll have them Wednesday when we win," she said. Bishop added that she did not know of anyone who had items made up before knowing the results of a game. Fred Ullrich, the buyer and manager of the soft goods department at Michigan Book & Supply, said he did not order any shirts for the hockey Final Four. "I wish I, would have because people have asked about it." However, he did purchase 150 basketball Final Four shirts. For the championships, Ullrich said he has placed orders for T-shirts, sweat- shirts, hats, shorts and glassware. Items will be available the day following each game, he said. Music school junior Jacob Yarrow said he was slightly upset he couldn't find any shirts right after the basketball team beat Ohio State last Sunday. "I thought one of the companies might have gambled and printed up a few shirts, but I guess nobody did." Yarrow added, "I'm going to buy a hockey hat the second they win." by Sarah McCarthy Daily Staff Reporter Ann Arbor may look like a ghost town tomorrow night as many University students gather around their : television sets or make the road trip to Minneapolis to watch the Wolverines face Cincinnati in the semi-finalp round of the NCAA Basketball Tournament. While most students will remain on campus and support the Wolverines in spirit, some enthusiastic fans will make the 12-hour drive to the twin cities to lend their support in person. "This is one of the biggest events of the century," said LSA first-year student David Deyoung. "If you have tickets, you have to go. This may never happen to Michigan again and if it does it probably won't be as close as Minneapolis." Four hundred tickets were made available to University students through a lottery system. "I went to Lexington and the team seems like such a force. I've been to away games and the Rose Bowl be- fore, but this is more intense," LSA junior Barry Waldman said. Some students said the game will be their last chance.. to show support for Michigan athletics. "I'm a graduating senior, I couldn't go my freshman;, year, and I'm going to enjoy the hell out of this week- end," LSA senior Brett Shankman said. "Yeah, it's a lit- tle fanatical, but I have to get a job and move into the- real world, and this is the last chance I have to do some- thing like this." Throughout the tournament, the Michigan team has lived up to its reputation as the most talented recruiting class ever. Students said they think the long drive is a small price to pay for the opportunity to see the "Fab Five" play. "It's a once in a lifetime situation for five freshmen to make it to the Final Four," said LSA first-year stu- dent Jeff Eckhout. "I know I'm missing Hash Bash, but I've got three more of those and Michigan won't neces- sarily make it to the Final Four again." Although many students said they were outraged by the way the University handled the ticket lottery, some students who were unable to get tickets decided to make the trip anyway. "It's bullshit that seniors couldn't get the chance to see their last Michigan tournament and freshmen got tickets," said Business School senior Jeff Penn. "But the second we beat Ohio State we started talking about Minneapolis. It was a fact - we were going." "The odds were 3 to 1 of getting tickets and we lost. I'm willing to pay up around $100, but if we can't get them, we'll just watch from a bar across the street or something," said LSA first-year Tyler Rheem. About 3,100 U of Cincinnati fans will be rooting for their team in Minneapolis. Of the 3,000 Cincinnati tickets - that went on sale and sold out Monday - only 500 were reserved for-students on a "first come, first serve" basis, said John Wise, spdrts editor for the y University of Cincinnati News Record. - Daily Staff Reporter Chastity Wilson contributed to this report Astronaut says that despite the cost, space exploration is vital by Joshua Meckler Daily Staff Reporter Former Astronaut John Young, a vet- eran of two missions to the moon and a pilot of the first space shuttle mission, said last night that the United States needs to vigorously pursue space explo- ration now so that future generations of huanis ill cable t stive. "New scientific knowledge is likely to be our only hope. When the five billion or so people here now double and triple, they're going to need what we find for a better chance in a future world," Young told about 200 people in the Michigan Union. Young spoke at the initiation banquet of Sigma Gamma Tau, an aerospace honor society. As he displayed slides of his own and other space missions, Young delivered anecdotes and discourse on the value of" space exploration. Missions to the moon provided scien- tists with important information, Young said. Examining the minerals of the lunar surface expanded knowledge about the same process of exploration on Earth. In addition, on shuttle missions, as- tronauts have grown protein crystals 1,000 times larger than possible on Earth. Young said those proteins could be used in medicine for fighting cancer and AIDS. Young said that although space mis- sions entail enormous costs, the returns in knowledge and scientific off-shoots are well worth the initial investment. For example, Young said, one of his missions to the moon - which cost $130 million - returned 10 to 20 times its price to the economy. "Because of Apollo, scientists and engineers made monumental advances," Young said. LSA junior Jim Elek said he was im- pressed with Young's presentation. "He believes it's possible to manufacture material on the space station and to live on the moon," he said. "Coming from someone who's been up there, that's im- portant to me."
