Sen. Cooper Aids
Girl Racqueteer'

Winter Activities at Jewish Center

A Berkley High School girl is
raising a racquet for women'
rights.
Denise Thal, sixteen-year-old
daughter of the Bruce Thais of
Victoria Rd., Huntington Woods,
is rated the No. 2 tennis player
for girls 16 and under in south-
eastern Michigan. She feels so
strongly that she is able to play
and beat the boys on the Berkley
tennis team that she has asked
State Senator Daniel S. Cooper to
go to bat for her.
Cooper, last week, introduced a
bill in the Senate which would
permit female pupils to partici-
pate in all noncontact interschol-
astic athletic activities including
such sports as swimming, golf,
track and field and tennis
Denise got the initiative to write
Cooper after reading of a case
in New York state where the state
regents ruled that girls could com-
pete with boys in noncontact
sports.
Denise went out for the Berkley
team last year but "the coach
just let me sit there." She ad-
mitted, however, that she would
have had a tough time beating
some of the boys.
Although Lane Ramsdell, Berk-
ley High School's athletic director,
was dubious about the whole thing
—"What does the coach do with
the girl in the locker room"—her
mother is proud of her.
Denise is a member of the
girls' high school ski team.
