that the chool concentr tes on _
developing '1 during the year.
She ded that there' one day during
the end of the hool ye when
Hutchins bas day of competition for
11 the tuden in 11 ports including
wimmin .
But how does it tac up gainst
the uburban and out- ta chools?
"Most suburb n middle scbools
don't have pools, " Phillips explained.
"Some high school don't even have
pools because they don't need them."
(Second In a four-part
"WHAT MAKES THE ubur-
an commuru umque lS .. tnat they
have summer programs that are very,
very expen ive; th r's th dif­
ference."
She id that the uburb have
swim clubs that are a few miles from
each other. 'The clubs race against
each other in competition throughout
the summer. But the main reason she
said that the city -schools are behind
is that the uburban kids start a lot
earlier than the Detroit lcids do.
"The kids in the uburb tart
mmlngfn thelret taty yea ,'t
Phillip aid. "When I _ growing
up in Farmington, I started to learn
when I was six. The lcids I teach at
Hutchins don't start to swim until
they're 10 or eleven years when
they're in the ixth grade. By that
time they've built a fear of water. We
try to help them break that habit, but
it takes time."
To olve that problem, the ad­
ministration at Hutchins has created
a 'walk-over' program with it's area
elementary chool, Sanders Elemen-
�
tary.
WHAT IS NEEDED to help
other kids with swimming in other
areas of the city?
"Each area in the city should have
access to a pool," She said. "One
elementray school in each of the
school areas should have a pool while
at least half of the middle schools
should have pool , one designated to
each area." ..,
mrm g it;' th ir middle school y
ool
because I love to teach the kids swim­
ming."
During the spring Mrs. Phillips
goes over and talks to the students
about the swim program and pool at
Hutchins. During the day, the
school's principal or a designated
teacher walks the kids over to the
school for swim cla es and activity
four times a week during the sum­
mer."
"During my prep time I teach the
program to the kids," Phillips said. "I
don't mind giving up my prep time
"But what is needed the most is
arent participation. The participa­
tion in our school's area i growing
because of the growth of the New
Center Area. There are fewer tran­
sients and slum lords. Because of
those two points, the prospects for
our school are greater."
Phillips concluded that the school
board should designate money for the
existing and future pools and provide
funds to pay bath attendants, life
guards and engineers.
SHE ADDED THAT both male
and female participation are the same
at the sixth and seventh grade levels.
It's when the tudents reach the
eighth grade that there' a difference
between the sexes.
"In eighth grade the male par­
ticipation goe up and the female
participation goes down," She said.

DETROIT -Just when thing were
looking bad for the WSU mens' bas­

wake up and tum things around for
themselves. Along with some unfor­
seen occurances to other opponents,
the Tartars now find themselves in
the tmck of the the Great Lakes Inter­

ketball race with an outside chance to
win the title.
After losing to the University of

The victory over Grand Valley
was of great significance. Not only
was it WSU's first win over the

an NCAA Division II record. WSU
went to the free throw line 79 time
