Elastic
By ROBIN WRIGHT
One of this year's additions to
the Michigan basketball team is
a "Bird" that flys high.
Rich Carter - nicknamed Bird
because of his jumping ability -
is a junior transfer from F o r t
Dodge Junior college in Iow4. Car-
ter has been a powerful addition
to the t e a m defensively, while
averaging 10 points a game.
Noted for his elastic legs, Car-
ter is tough competition for larg-
er opponents despite h i s small
6'1 frame.
He explained that his size is not
a serious handicap. "I'm a natural
jumper. I can't muscle anyone, so
I have to outthink them. I play
a strong fundamental game."
Carter, who lives basketball
year round, acknowledged that "I
couldn't go to college without bas-
ketball. I'm playing to get an ed-
ucation.
"I love the game, but I have no
great desire to play pro ball. Be-
sides, I'm too small," he added.
"But I have five brothersand
sisters, so it would have b e e n
hard for me to go to a Big Ten
school without a scholarship. And
my whole dream has been to play
in the Big Ten."

Well, it took a little doing, but I finally got my first letter to the
editor:
Dear Sir:
I was very impressed by the fable about The Power by As-
sociate Sports Editor Bob Lees published on January 9. It was a
very clever story, and I enjoyed it very much.
It is such a good story that I almost can't blame Mr. Lees
for not saying that he didn't write the story. The story was
originally written in a slightly different form by Fredric Brown
and published in his book, Nightmares and Geezenstacks. It's
been a long time since I read the original story, and I'm not sure
of the title, but I think it was named "The Power."
At any rate, it's pretty sad when a college newspaper has to
resort to plagiarism.
Sincerely,

GO MAIZE!
That's the letter (edited just a bit). And do you know something?
Mr. Cornfeld is absolutely correct. I read that story-or rather I re-
read it-during semester break when I was abed with the flu. Mr.
Cornfeld and I seem to share similar literary interests, as I discovered
when I talked to 'him on the phone, and both of us had bought-the
Brown book many years ago, when a good paperback could be had
for 40 cents.
Anyway, Mr. Cornfeld is not alone in his discovery-and in-
dignation. Several other students have approached me the past few
days about the same topic, much to my delight and interest. For I
had several reasons for writing (or should it be "plagiarizing?") that
article:
One, the one that my staff was interested in, was recruiting.,
As the title said, I was trying to drum up interest in joining the
sports staff. I'm still drumming up interest in the sports staff.
We have good writers and editors now; we'd like lots more. If
you're interested in working with us, let us know. Call up 'the
Daily, at 764-0555, and ask for me or Dave Weir. Or drop in at
420 Maynard, on late afternoons or in the evening.
The other reason was kind of personal. You see, I've always been
a kind of nut about science fiction and fantasy literature, and I'ves
been convinced that a large segment of the population here are, too.
There's a course now in Fantasy Literature, in which I am enrolled,
that demonstrates much interest in such topics. The response I've
been getting from Mr. Cornfeld and others indicates that there is
lots more.
At one point I felt that there were just a very few people in-
terested in this "junk," as my mother calls it.
Now I don't feel so lonely.
