PAGRE sI THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1968 ?AOK SIX THE i~IICHIGAN DA~ILY SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 24, 1968 Gymnasts, Thi Host Badgers, Illinois Today; Conference Crown at Stake nclads in Final Trials By BILL DINNER It's bounce or else for the Mich- igan gymnasts. The Wolverines must win to-! day's triangular meet against a consistent Illinois team as well as Wisconsin in order to have a shot at the Big Ten crown. This afternoon's home meet willj end regular conference competi-' tion for the gymnasts. The meet,, starting at 2:00 p.m., will be held in the intramural building. The Illini and Wisconsin are currently tied for fourth place in the Big Ten, trailing Michigan by only one point. Wisconsin, which has already lost to MSU and Iowa has been averaging only, 172 points and is not expected to cause much commotion. The Illini's top score is 186.6, although they have been a con- sistent team averaging just under 186 points. Erratic Michigan, on the other hand, has been more erratic, nearing 189 against State, but averaging 186.1. While the Wolverines are bat- tling Illinois today, Iowa invades Michigan State in another decid- ing meet. If State wins there will be a three-way tie for first place and the winner will be decided in the Big Ten Championships next weekend. However, if Iowa wins, the Wol- verines will be forced to capture the Big Ten to salvage a tie for first. Michigan coach Newt Loken hopes to have a "hot line" be- tween State and the I.M. build- ing to follow the progress of the State-Iowa contest. Before the Wolverines can dream of the Big Ten title, how- Gym Rookies Grab Honors ever, they have to get by Illinois and Wisconsin. Illinoiscoach Charley Pond brings with him a well disciplined squad strong in five of the seven events. Leading the Illini is caprain Hal Shaw, who is averaging bet- ter than 9.4 in his favorite event, the long horse. Among 'Shaw's awards are two Big Ten vaulting titles; he should repeat this year. Shaw, not satisfied with con- ventional vaulting stunts created his own, now nicknamed the O'Shaw, where he leaps to the end of the horse and then som- ersaults. In addition to his top performances in vaulting Shaw is a very good performer in floor exercise and on the trampoline. All-Around Next in line is senior Coos;ie Rollo. Besides being second in the long horse, Rollo is an excellent performer on the parallel bars and trampoline, averaging near 91 in both. Last year he placed third in the Big Ten trampoline compe- tition. Slightly ahead of Rollo on the tramp is junior Steve Chapple who last year placed sixth in Big Ten competition. Leading Illinois' still rings squad is junior Mark Kaplan. This sea- son Kaplan has averaged well over 9 in the event and has an excel- lent shot at the Big Ten title. Weakestc Illinois' weakest events are the parallel and high bars where they lack depth and have been scoring only 26 and 25 points, respect- ively. Although Wisconsin probably won't figure strongly in the meet, they will bring with them an out- standing side horse star in sopho- more John Russo. Russo has car- ried a 9.75 average, which is prob- ably the best by anyone in any event this year. Russo hails from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, where he was a team- mate of Michigan side horse man Mike Carpenter. Russo should capture the Big Ten crown and will have a good chance in the nationals. Another solid performer is soph- omore Don Dunfield, who helps out on the long horse as well as on the trampoline. Flashes The Michigan gymnasts, who have shown flashes of brilliance mixed with mediocrity finally seemed to have settled down: "The team has been a bit slow, but they have finally jelled into a strong unit, full of confidence NEWT LOKEN and able to hit well against both Illinois and Wisconsin," com- mented Loken. All is not well, however, with the Wolverines-. Junior Fred Rod- ney injured himself in practice this week and will probably not be able to compete. Rodney's services will be missed as he is one of Michigan's best vaulters, as well as a solid performer on the high bar. Rodney is also backup man in several events. If Rodney does not make it Ray Timm will fill in on the high bar. Brighter On the bright side, the Michi- gan tramp team of Captain Wayne Miller, George Huntizicker, and Dave Jacobs are back in top form and should score around 28 points. However, floor exercise champ Jacobs has a minor foot injury and will not perform in that event. The Michigan sidehorse team almost found itself last week. Jim Deboo, Mike Carpenter, and Sid Jenson combined for a near-26 point total. A good showing from the squad today will be essential. The meet will probably be the most interesting of the year for spectators. e The trampoline exhibition fea- tures six of the top men in the, conference, and should not bel missed. Cindermen To Meet Indianl( By MARK HALPERT The Michigan trackmen have been consistent all year, but be- ginning next Friday in Columbus they viill have to be just a little bit better. In their last warmup before next weekend's Big Ten Indoor Championships the cin- dermen will venture down to Bloomington, Indiana to take on the 'fast -improving Hoosiers. Indiana is not a strong ally around squad, but their strengths % will give Michigan a chance to improve in several events, where the Wolverines must score well to upset the defending champions, Wisconsin, in the upcoming Big Ten meet.

Over 20 Years Audio Experience, Frosh in Big Ten Swim; Hoosier Yearlings Favored THE NEW SCHOOL COLLEGE "WHAT WE SELL-WE SERVICE" 000 4 jft ~ ::00 0 0 is a senior college. It offers the third and fourth years of the undergraduate curriculum, leading to the B.A. degree. We accept liberal arts students who have completed the equivalent of the freshman and sophomore years elsewhere. We offer two programs-Humanities and Social Science. Half the work in each program is done in DIVISIONAL COURSES which span the traditional departmental boundaries in order to study the basic con- cepts, methods and principles of the larger discipline. In addition to the Divisional Sequence of courses each student works in a specialized area and engages in a tutorial leading to independent study. The program cul- minates in an lutcr-Divisional-Senior Seminar, which examines the rela- tionships between the disciplines of Social Science, the Humanities and the Natural Sciences.

In the first course the emphasis is on a systematic analysis of a large (mac- ro) soial order -in. this.. case the American culture. Readings include: Paul Goodman, Drawing the Line; Luckman and Berger, Social Mobility and Personal Identity; C. Wright Mills, selections; Parsons, The Link Betwien Character and Society; Car- michael, What We Want; de Tocque- ville, Democracy in America; San- tayana, Character and Opinion in the United States; selections from Freud and Skinner; economic analysis by Knight, Samuelson and Marx; and political analysis in the terms of Hume, Aristotle and Dewey. The sec- ond course is in micro-analysis, i.e., an examination of subcultures seen in relation to the larger community. We read Glazer and Moynihan, Be- yond the Melting Pot; Malinowski, Kroeber, T. S. Eliot (Notes Toward the Definition of Culture), Weber (The Protestant Ethic), Erik Erikson, Malcolm X, and more readings and field work on such subcultures as the hippies, the poor and the black na- tionalists. The third course is con- cerned with comparative analysis- specifically a comparison of US- USSR, largely in terms of the social, political and economic dimensions in the process of industrialization which have taken place, east and west. The readings include case study material as well as complex conceptual anal- yses: Henderson, Ashton, Bendix, Nef, Moore, Schumpter, and more. Al Divisional Classes for all students' are small. The major concern of the classroom is to analyze the readings. Teaching is by diseussion-a syste- matic approach to each text. The juniors in the Humanities also take three year long courses. Working with materials from all of the arts and philosophy these courses engage the student in various modes of critical, and interpretive. analysis in order to maximize the possibilities for significant discoveries in confronting the vast range of works created by man's intellect and imagination. Here, as an example, are excerpts from last year's com- prehensive examination. "The following texts all concern themselves to a greater or lesser extent with the question of human history, and the correlative question, the possi- bilities for progress. Choose three of the following texts and compare and contrast their treatment of these ques- tions. Communijt Manifesto; Reason and Experience (Dewey); Structure of Scientific Revolutions (Kuhn); Genesis; Antigone; Caesar and Cleopatra; The Sound and the Fury.".. ."2. One factor which would seem to distin- guish indisputably the modern temperament from the past is the drastically shifting conception of the heroic-not only in terms of what the heroic indeed is, but also in terms of what possibilities for heroism still exist. Discuss this quotation drawing evidence from Job; Phadre; The Strang- er; Hippolytus; Marat/Sade; The Balcony; Billiards at Half Past Nine.. ."3. Using one of the following films, 8 , Wild Strawberries, Last Year at Marienbad, The Knack, Ulysses, discuss in what sense the material (i.e., cinematic technique) affects the value judgments you make of character, incident, and theme."..."4. How do partic- ular words or images control aesthetic responses in the following poems: Leda and the Swan, The Loresong of J. Alfred Prufrock, A Coney Island of the Mind.".. ."5. Compare the role of coincidence in King Lear and Tom Jones, indicating to what extent the nature of that role is determined by the tragic structure of the one and the comic structure of the other."..."6. In reading both philosophy and arguments, language has been one of the most recur- rent topics: Aristotle on diction in the Poetics, Plato on the living word, Augustine on the Word that was in the be- ginning, Unamuno on the birth of language in relation to the tragic sense, Wordsworth and Coleridge on the rela- tion of language to the minds of men, Freud on verbal slips, and Heidegger, Carnap, Wittgenstein and Chomsky on philosophic issues bound up with language. Using at least four of the above, write a brief essay on language by indicating some key insight of each of the four and discussing the scope of the problem (or values) language presents us with." p"""" " r"""""""" By DOUG HELLER For the second time in their two-meet season, the Michigan freshmen swimmers will go into action "blind" to the strengths of the opposition. i This past January, the Wolver- ine frosh had almost no infor- mation before they took on the MSU freshmen in Matt Mann Pool. They didn't need it though, as they walloped the little Spar- tans, 79-53. Today, at the Big Ten fresh- man meet in East Lansing, the Wolverines won't have to worry about the Spartans. But Indiana is another problem. All the Mich- igan coaches have is a better line on their own swimmers, thanks to the first meet. Coming on Strong In January, Wolverine coach Gust Stager found out that his top diver, Dick Rydze, who took SPORTS NIGHT EDITOR: BILL DINNER TEACHER CANDIDATES! Minimum salary $6100.

Rydze racked up 267.30 points on the one-meter board and 288.05 at three meters. Stager also saw Greg Zahn, his best short - distance freestyler, come through at 200 and 100 yards.f The only real threat the Spar- tans have, Van Rockefeler, was "exposed" when he took the 200- yard butterfly and 200 individual medley. In the 200-yard breaststroke, Stager found out that next year he won't have a repetition of this season's Achilles' heel, as Bill Ma- honey's 2:17.96 was far better than any member of the varsity has done this year. noaouus cns year as spring brain- ing gets under way in the major leagues. Relief pitcher Phil Regan is the principle houldout. Regan says he won't report to the Los Angeles Dodgers at spring training until his salary dispute is settled. He told the L.A. Herald-Examine, "I don't like tomiss spring train- ing, but the club has sent me four or five contracts and I have sent them all back." Regan received $36,000 last year after posting a 9-1 record in relief the season before. He said the Dodgers wanted to cut his pay $5,000 following his 6-9 last sea- son. "I just don't feel I pitched as badly as I have been cut." Left-hander Al Downing also remains a holdout and Ralph Houk, manager of the New York Yankees, is concerned about his absentee pitcher. "He needs the work," there's no question about that," said Houk. "I like a pitcher to work 20 to 25 innings before going into the sea- son. I wish he'd get down here, get the contract signed, and start working." "He's missing work he should have," said Houk after the Yan- kees beat an afternoon downpour with a morning workout. "I don't like a pitcher to push himself try- ing to get in shape too fast."
