JUDGMENT DAY Rose Bowl hopes hang 1111balance By Alan Goldenbach Daily Sports Editor Eight weeks of overachievement, developing a cutthroat defense and churning out one victory after another, come down to one game that will prove whether this Michigan team is all it's cracked up to be. Sure, the Wolverines have stared down a dominant offense like Iowa's, they have had their emotional capaci- ties tested against Michigan State, Colorado and Notre Dame, and they have battled a tough crowd on the road in Last Lansing. But now, No. 4 Michigan (5-0 Big Ten, 8-0 overall) has all three of those evil winds blowing its way in the form of No. 2 Penn State (4-0, 7-0). Saturday's 3:30 p.m. blockbuster tilt at Happy Valley's Beaver Stadium will be the first time since 1975 that two unde- fBated Big Ten teams have squared off in the month of November. Ironically, Michigan was part of that game as well. Top-ranked Ohio State knocked 'off the fourth-ranked Wolverines in Ann Arbor, 21-14, in the final game of the season for both teams. "This is a big game for Michigan football," said Michigan coach Lloyd Carr. "What is nice is we don't have to worry about looking past anyone. This is the best football team we have played this year" Of Michigan's eight victims this sea- son, only one - No. 12 Iowa - cur- rently resides in the Associated Press top 25 poll. The same can be said for the Nittany Lions, who handed No. 7 Ohio State its only loss, 31-27, four weeks ago. So this game, besides carrying the See GAME, Page 2 U.

Engineering senior Corneil Paauwe said that from what he's heard, "It's something you don't want to mess with." Heroin and its images may be surfacing in many places, but, not on college campuses. Despite images of pale, sickly models appearing on the pages of trend-setting fash- ion magazines and frequent references in movies and pop culture, the "heroin chic" trend hasn't found a home at the University. Department of Public Safety spokesperson Elizabeth Hall said that the last three years have been free of heroin arrests on campus. "The only report of heroin (in the last three years) was made in 1997 for possession of heroin paraphernalia," Hall said. The Livingston and Washtenaw Narcotics Enforcement Team, which han- dles all narcotics cases for Washtenaw, Jackson and Livingston counties, arrested 19 people for offenses related to heroin possession in the past six months. community Heroin use has increased overall across the nation in the past seven years, according to David Osborn, a spokesperson for Phoenix H-louse, a New York-based substance abuse ser- vice organization that has helped 70,000 people overcome addictions since its initiation in 1967. "Use of the drug has really been on the upswing since 1990," Osborn said. "There is something around now called 'heroin chic,' as if it's become a chic drug," he said. LSA first-year student Marisa Kelley said she has seen "the whole heroin chic" image in women's magazines, and does not think the photographs are appealing. One student said the drug's popularity is rein- forced by messages people get from television. "(It is) probably easy to get, even though I haven't really heard of it (on campus)," said LSA sophomore Karren Benedict, adding that televi- sion often portrays the drug as "popular and in demand," Deborah Kraus, a clinical psychologist with the University's Counseling and Psychological Services office in the Michigan Union, said hero- in makes users feel like they are in sort of a dream world. "The reason that heroin is so addictive is ON AMPUS Mo.3S na twfart Sod Heroin: Is pop.culture's drug here? that it feels like there's some kind of fuzzy buffer to people ---- in their world," she said. But Kraus said at the same time that users are insulated from negative incidents around them, they are also isolated from good feelings. She said users are always looking for a high that will satisfy them as much as their first one did. "What heroin addicts have told me through the years is that they're always chasing that first high," she said. Heroin is also known to users as smack, horse, H or junk. Some side effects of using heroin, besides addiction, include dry, itchy skin, nausea and vomiting, reduced sex drive, scarring along veins where heroin has been injected and a greater risk of AIDS from unsanitary injection. The effects of heroin struck close to Ann Arbor as early as last week, when two 20-year-olds in the Detroit suburb of Birmingham died of heroin overdoses. Forster, a former state wrestling champion, had been a heroin addict for as long as two years, and is believed to have given heroin to four high school students at a party approximately two See HEROIN, Page 2 PAUL TALANIAN/Daily o fountain of Triton, located on Ingalls Mall near the Michigan League, was recently shut down for the nter.

First, Wayne State wants to avoid university e-mails that can be subject to the Freedom of Information Act. Also, Wayne State administrators claim using e-mail unrelated to the university is irre- sponsible because the system is funded by tax- payers. Finally, officials want to avoid wasting technological resources on activity unrelated to "The policy put together here is a very oppressive policy," said Wolfson, a Wayne State professor of computer science. Bill Stein, another Academic Senate mem- ber, agreed that the policy is too conservative. "The policy governing usage that is con- tained in the executive order is very restric- tive," said Stein, a professor of philosophy at Wavne State overit up so is aoUsn t e.ome a trasn receptale fro 1111Hs nomn. to Ureek mythologi nt on would
