Coming off a lackluster 34- 26 victory over Ball State, the Wolverines (7-0 Big Ten, 11-0 overall) needed a strong per- formance on Saturdayto ramp up to the looming showdown in Columbus. They delivered. From the outset, Michigan smashed an obviously over- matched Hoosier squad.

Finally, it came up: Ohio Students, profs fight terrorism State 21, Northwestern 3. The heads then turned slightly upward to see an identical score: Michigan 21, Indiana 3. Most realized it at the exact same moment. It was actually going to happen: Michigan and Ohio State will meet this Saturday undefeated for the first time since 1973. By the end of the third quarter, with Memorial Sta- dium on the northwest end of Indiana University's campus filled primarily with Michi- gan faithful, the celebrations began. Chants of "Beat the Buck- eyes" and "Go Blue" over- whelmed the meager sound of the scattered Hoosier fans left in the stands. Even here in Bloomington, it was clear thatthis game was only a stepping stone to one of the most important college See STANDS, page 7A TOP: Adrian Arrington and Obi Oluigbo celebrate Arrington's touch- down during Michigan's 34-3 win Saturday.

In a campaign supported by several studies, nutrition- ists are teaming up with pre- dominantly black churches to preach agospelofhealthyeat- ing. They hope their sermons will strike at the underlying causes of several genetic dis- eases that plague black com- munities at higher rates than the rest of the population. Body and Soul, the nation- wide program that the Uni- versity's Comprehensive Cancer Center launched locally last year, hopes to pull on strong social ties within black churches to promote healthy eating. The program encourages parishioners to eat more fruits and vegetables. Stud- ies have shown this simple change can lower the risk of heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, stroke and some types of cancer. So far, eight Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti congregations have agreed to participate.
