The outgoing senior sprts
the new editors for the 1969-19
Joel Block, a junior philos
was named sports editor, succe
Assisting him will be A
editor, and Bill Cusumano, Jim
associate sports editors.
Block has served as a spo
three years and head basketba
worked on the sports desk of
the Chicago Daily News after
his first year on the Daily and
is currently the Ann Arbor
area reporter for United Press
International.
Block was the writer of one of a
two-part series of stories appear-
ing in the Daily which pre-
cipitated a nationwide controversy
over discounts to Big Ten ath-
letes. Block's investigative feature
on handouts to Michigan State
athletes provoked an investigation
by the Big Ten Commissioner's of-
fice and the subsequent reprimand
of an MSU football assistant.
Barbas, an economics major
from Huntington Woods, Michi-
gan, has been a night editor the
past two years, and specializes in
covering the Michigan gymnastics
meets.
Cusumano, who hails from
Princeton, New Jersey, is a trans-
fer student from Wake Forest,
where he was a member of the
basketball team for two years. A
political science and history ma-
jor, Cusumano has concentrated
on Michigan basketball coverage.
Forrester, an English major
from Detroit, joined the Daily this
fall, and has reported hockey and
professional sports.
Miss Wright, a resident of Ann
Arbor who has ,a triple major in
Political Science, Journalism, and
History, is the first female sports
editor on the Daily. Miss Wright,
who has covered the Wolverines'
efforts on the basketball court
and the baseball field, holds the
distinction of being the first
woman to ever sit in the Michigan
sports press box.
Block commented upon his ap-
pointment, "The coming year will
be a significant one for Michigan
sports. The Ann Arbor sports
scene is changing with the ap-
pointment of a new football coach
and the presence of a second-year
athletic director and a second-
year basketball coach."
