EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is the text of SGC president Mark Crick- ity's speech of March 20, 1970 at Crisler Field House. As you all know, SGC's purge inside the University of all ele- rhents that are not legitimate academic undertakings, began in the fall of 1967, with a drive to end all classified war research at Michi- gan. Although 'it was an extremely rough fight, success was granted to us. Shortly thereafter, SGC was also able to rid the campus of all the perfidious ROTC courses. This was followed by the dissolution first of the Big Ten athletic conference, and then by an end to all athletic scholarships. The athletic department, noting that it could now no longer compete on even a slightly successful basis because of this, and also that it was a heavy loser financially, ended intercollegiate athletics altogether. The department agreed that intercollegiate athletics were not a legitimate academic undertaking, but asserted that intramurals were also not a legitimate academic undertaking, and ended those also. Soon we were able to do away with UAC, the Michiganensian, and Graduate Assembly. Due to an unfortunate accident, the wise- guy who wanted to do away with SGC was found lying face down in the Huron River. Later, we began our now famous investigation of the College of Engineering. We found that the college largely produces engineers. This, we allowed, was not bad in itself, but we decided to find out what engineers do. We found out that the work of some engineers was useful and teaching them was a legitimate academic undertak- ing. We found that some engineers help make bombs and teaching them was not a legitimate academic undertaking. But alas, the two distinct types of engineers could not be separated. We could not get a * commitment from each engineer on what he would do once, he graduated. Thus we had to make a decision. We could see that we could not do away with all types of engineering, so we used as a guideline only those types that were potentially dangerous. As a solution, we took a lead from our most prestigious neighbor to the north, which now gets 20 per cent more appropriations than we do, and changed the College of Engineering to the College of Agriculture. But it is time to think back on the implications of our work. When classified research was eliminated, most of our young, inven- tive minds in the scientific fields migrated to other campuses. In fact, the physics department was left with one assistant professor trying to disprove the laws of gravity and two teaching fellows to run the whole department. The problem with this set-up is that physics on the level of Newton have been considered generally a closed issue for at 'least a decade or two. The assistant professor in charge of the department knows he's in the minority, but says he will persist along this line. There is a serious question, however, on whether he will be given tenure, as he has published absolutely nothing on his specialty. Courses in the department now include physics 125 and 126 with all others deleted in the 1970-71 catalogue. Hence, there will be no-one at Michigan who will be able to major in physics since there is nobody to teach the required number of hours. In this context, we have investigated with the help of The Daily, whether the two physics courses as taught are a legitimate academic undertaking. At this point the question is highly dubious. At the present time, all high school seniors are required to have physics on the level of 125 and 126 in order to gain admission to the University. However, the available teachers are not considered qualified enough to teach more of an advanced course. Me-anwhile, the departments of chemistry and astronomy have 4 had to compensate for the physics void by giving their own auxiliary courses in the physics field to be used as cognates. Unfortunately, none of the chemistry or astronomy professors specialize in physics, thus causing these courses to be basically out of date. Our new campaign, necessitated by the facts, is to do away with the physics" department because it is not a legitimate academic undertaking. By JOEL BLOCK "I'll be satisfied with a 4-6 rec- ord for our first ten games of the season.", You might expect the above statement to have come from the mouth of newly-crowned New York Met Manager Gil Hodges. But it didn't. It was said by Wolverine As- sistant Baseball Coach Dick Ho- nig; and after a quick look at the Monday and Tuesday with the Sun team he's going to face, you know Devils. he wasn't kidding. The fact is that the Michigan' baseball team begins its season to- night in Tempe, Arizona at 9:30 EST against the best college team in the country, Arizona State. The Wolverines will also have to sweat though (latest tempera- ture: 65* and rising) a Saturday doubleheader and two single games From there the Wolverines will take a short excursion to Tucson where they'll begin immediately another five-game series, this time with Arizona, the nation's seventh best team. "With the loss of our number one pitcher, Geoff Zahn, to the Los Angeles Dodgers, we're left with an unproven pitching staff,", 'Grappiers Stunned in NCAA; Porter, Corn ell Remain Alive Special To The Daily UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Michigan's wrestling team, which had finished second in the nation last year, qualified only two grap- plers for championship competi- tion in yesterday's first round NCAA action. Heavyweight Dave Porter and Pete Cornell, at 167-pounds, both third-place finishes in 1967, are the only Wolverines left in the main brackets after what assist- ant Michigan coach Rick Bay called "a disappointing day all aound." Two other Wolverines were eliminated completely, while three others have very slim chances of wrestling back in the consolation brackets. It.was the favored schools who dominated all early action, as Ok- lahoma State qualified ten men for quarter-finalfcompetition, while Iowa State and co-favorite Oklahoma qualified eight and seven men respectively. Defend- ing champion Michigan State ad- vanced six of their number. Cornell began his day with a pin of North Carolina State's Ben SCORES EXHIBITION BASEBALL St. Louis 4, Pittsburgh 0 Atlanta 7, Philadelphia 0 Detroit 3, Cincinnati 0 Oakland 5, Chicago (A) 4 Washington 2, New York (N) 1 Houston 11, Boston 1 Minnesota 7, Los Angeles 6 New York (A) ' 5, Mexico City Tigers 4 San Francisco 14, Cleveland 3 Chicao (N)1, California 0 NHL Boston 8, Chicago 0 Toronto 5, Detroit 2 NIT SEMIFINALS Kansas 58, St. Peter's, N.J., 46 Dayton 76, Notre Dame 74, over- time Steve Rubin at 123 and Fred Stehman at 160 advanced by a 1:52 pin and a 9-5 decision, re- spectively. But both lost in the evening on spectacular come- backs. Rubin was ahead by two when, with less than a minute to go, his opponent, Bill DeSario of Cortland State, gained a take- down and predicament for four points and the win. Yet Stehman's was even more amazing. With only 29 seconds to go, his opponent, Dave Wiendl of Wilkes College, managed two des- peration moves, got two take- downs and two predicaments, won nine points, and grabbed the match 12-9. Other first round action found 137-pounder Geoff Henson los- ing 10-9 to Martin Willigan of Hofsta on a riding time point; Lou Hudson being overwhelmed at 130 pounds, 10-3, by North Cen- tral College's Ed Jackson; and Bill Waterman, at 177, being de- cisioned 5-4 by Verlyn Strellner of Iowa. Both Waterman and Hudson later saw their conquer-] ers conquered, making them in- eligible for wrestle-backs. said Honig. "We're hoping our hit- ting and our solid defense will be able to back up our question-mark pitching." The Michigan offensive attack should be potent. They led the Big Ten in hitting last season with a .294 team average, way ahead of Tonight's NCAA basketball semi-final game between Hous- ton and UCLA will be televised at 12 midnight on WJBK, Channel 2. second-place Minnesota's .277 bat- ting mark. Leading the Wolverine's and the rest of the Big Ten in individual batting was outfielder Andy Fisher with .459, 67 percentage points ahead of the second-place batter. Other top hitters for Michigan last year were Bud Forsythe (.333) and Jim Hosler (.304). Steadiest player last year was junior third baseman Glenn Red- mon, who played every inning of every game and ended up with a .295 batting average for the entire season. Honig says Head Coach Moby Benedict has given the starting nod tonight to Dave Renkiewicz, big 6'3" junior righthander from Wyandotte. Junior Jack Hurley and sophomore Steve Evans, both also 6'3" righthanders, are sched- uled to go in Saturday's double- header. Benedict's bull-pen ace figures to be Larry Guidi, a 6'3" senior from CrotonyFalls, New York. Guidi, a righty, was second to the departed Zahn in e.r.a.elast year with a measly 2.21. He had no won-loss record, appearing in 11 games for 201/2 innings. PAUL CAMELET Master Tailor For Men and Women Alterations & Remodels No longer with Camelet Bros. 1103 S.
