'Elfi 74 p w a News: 76-DAILY Advertising: 764-0554 One hundred seven years ofeditortzlfreedom Monday October 27, 1997 r :+3 illerbe named interim head coach By Dan Stillman Daily Sports Writer CHICAGO- Even Brian Ellerbe is surprised h wi]l serve as the Michigan men's basketball C h. After 10 days of searching and speculating, University Athletic Director Tom Goss resort- ed to naming Ellerbe, an assistant hired in May, as the Wolverines coach - at least for now. The 34-year-old Ellerbe takes over as inter- im coach for the 1997-98 season less than five months after former Michigan coach Steve Fisher hired him as an assistant. "It's probably pretty interesting to see a dif- f Pnt face up here from Michigan," Ellerbe s yesterday at the annual Big Ten meeting in Chicago. "We're ready to go. We feel like we have a good basketball team." Goss, who placed Ellerbe in charge of the team when he fired Fisher on Oct. 11, named Ellerbe the interim head coach for this season Friday. Throughout his search for a permanent coach, Goss had said he wanted to hire some- one from outside the program. But once he narrowed the field to a final short list, Goss d the candidates two questions, one of Xh was not answered to his satisfaction, he said. "One was: How will you leaving your insti- tution impact your institution?," Goss said. "For the most part, they had a successor in mind. There was someone on staff who could move into their position. "The second question I asked - How will it impact the student-athletes that you just recruited? As I asked them that question, I had to think about that same question for my stu- dent-athletes. "I didn't get the question answered, and because I didn't get the question answered, I called Ellerbe and interviewed him." Goss said he talked with Ellerbe on Thursday night, but did not make the decision until Friday afternoon. "I'm as surprised today as I was the day (Fisher was fired)," Ellerbe said. "I look at it as a great stepping stone for the rest of my career." Ellerbe, a native of Capitol Heights, Md., joined the Wolverines on May 29 after serving three seasons as coach at Loyola College in Baltimore, leading his teams to a 34-47 overall record. Goss, who surprised many when he original- ly chose Ellerbe to lead the team over long- time Michigan assistant Brian Dutcher, indi- cated experience was the difference. "I wanted someone with head-coaching experience," Goss said. Before leading Loyola to its best confer- ence record in school history last season, Ellerbe spent nine years as an assistant coach, including four seasons under Jeff Jones at Virginia (1990-94) and one season each at South Carolina (1989-90) and George Mason (1988-89). Ellerbe, whose playing career ended during his senior year at Rutgers when he suffered a shoulder injury, still holds the school record for three-point field goal percentage. While the players have expressed publicly their desire to have Dutcher as their coach, they said they were happy that the coaching staff will remain intact. "At the beginning, we didn't think it was going to happen'" senior captain Travis Conlan said. "Life takes strange twists, just like it did with Fisher." Fisher was fired just two days after the University released a report on possible NCAA violations by the basketball program involving Detroit booster Ed Martin. The report, which revealed no major violations, was the culmina- tion of a seven-month investigation by the University-hired, Kansas City law firm Bond, See ELLERBE, Page 5A MARGARET MYERS/Daily Brian Ellerbe and his wife, Ingrid, speak at a press conference Friday, where he was announced interim Michigan men's basketball coach by University Athletic Director Tom Goss. Local women fMarch for unification By Katie Plona Daily Staff Reporter Despite setbacks in their trip to the X ion Woman March in Philadelphia o aturday, the 92 women who left from the steps of the Michigan Union returned Saturday more unified and feeling more empowered than ever. "I did not expect it to be so power- ful," said LSA senior Dara Maurant "It was cold. It was rainy. But no one was cold." Two buses carrying the University group of women departed from the n on Friday evening for what t d into a 13-hour drive to the march. Delays during the ride caused them to miss the march and other early events, which began Saturday at 6 a.m. The women, including University students, staff, and their family mem- bers joined an estimated 2.1 million participants in Philadelphia. Once arriving in Philadelphia, the University group listened to a collec- tion of speakers, including South *can anti-apartheid activist Winnie Mandela, and discussed contemporary concerns with women from across the country. Maurant, one of the students who coordinated the campus involvement with the march, chose five adjectives to adequately describe the event: positive, stimulating, excitement, overwhelming and unexpecting. LSA senior Tricia Moo-Young, who tinized the event with Maurant, said the march allowed black women to gather as a singular powerful mass to address issues that affect them. "In particular for me as an individual African American woman, a student on campus, it was a chance to take part in history," Moo-Young said. "The feeling at the march was that there was no boundaries between us," she said, adding that women from many genera- * attended the event. oo-Young, whose mother and sis- ter experienced the event with her, said an underlying theme of Saturday's event revolved around the phrase: "Great Grandmother taught Grandmother; Grandmother taught Mother; Mother taught Me; I will teach You" LSA senior Noemi Morales, who along with two other women video- d the event and the preparation for it, said that although the march had a strict agenda, it was meaningful and purposeful to more than just black women. "The more I thought about it, I thought that's not really true, (the march is) for women in general," said Mnrales wh i of Puerto R in GREEN AND WHITE AND BLUE ALL OVER k Defense stops Spartans cold By Alan Goldenbach Daily Sports Editor EAST LANSING - For the first two quarters, there was hype and there was trash talking. But that disappeared after halftime. xAs has been the case all sehson, Michigan's defense put a steel clamp on its opposition in the second half. What was a close battle for 30 minutes turned into a lopsided 23-7 r victory for the Wolverines (4-0 Big Ten 7-0 overall) before a rambunctious conglomerate of 79,687 at Spartan Stadium, most clad in green, but plenty in blue. In the week leading up to the game, Michigan State play- ers were singled out for their loose chatter, which some Wolverines deemed excessive. But Michigan's stifliig defense not only attacked the ball, but the Spartans' mouthi as well. "They did some talking in the first quarter and a little bit in the second." Michigan safety Marcus Ray said. "In the second half, what was there to talk about?" The talk in the second half was all about Michigan's u adefense, which held the Spartans (2-2, 5-2) to just 83 yards after halftime while intercepting six Michigan State passes. And the Spartans had difficulty moving anywhere on offense after Michigan bottled up all-purpose threat-Sedrick Irvin. After burning Michigan for 141 first-half yards both ot the ground and in the air, Irvin could muster just.17 after the break as the Spartans turned primarily to a passing attack in an attempt to erase their expanding deficit. WARRENZINN/Daily Shutting down Irvin allowed Michigan to win the game Michigan defensive linemen James Hall and Josh Williams (91) bring down Michigan State running back Sedric Irvin. Irvin rushed for 81 yards on on the ground. The team with the most rushing yards has 20 carries and caught nine passes for 77 yards and one touchdown.

The terror-filled production was held in the basement of North Hall - a site that housed an operational morgue years ago, when-North Hall served as a Central Campus hospital. Along with smoke-filled hallways, spider webs, Star Trek officers in full uniform and the movie Scream's ghoulish white-masked killers, the building's erie history added to the Halloween spirit of the two-day event. More than 1,000 students braved frigid weather and slight showers Friday and Saturday nights to catch a glimpse of what the haunted house had to offer. This year's haunted house raked in an estimated $4,400 - a total that was slightly lower than amounts generated in past years. ROTC plans to donate the money to the Ann Arbor Ronald McDonald House and Ann Arbor Hunger Coalition. Ryan Ona, one of the previous haunted house coordinators and Navy ROTC participant, said this year's effort was a suc- cess. "As long as people are having a good'time ... we are satis- fied" Ona said. Famous photographers present work at U' 1%WUw M M By Sam Stavis Daily Staff Reporter Peter and David Turnley, world- famous photojournalists, returned to the University on Saturday to dis- play some of their most compelling photographs as part of the Residential College's 30-year anniversary reunion. The photographs highlighted were from an exhibition titled "In Times of War and Peace," a combined work that was presented last year in New York and Corona, Italy. The brothers docu- mented events such as the end of apartheid, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the reality of the Gulf War.
