Skala starred for the Wolverines in both football and basketball, from 1950-52. He is, remembered for having passed up a starting berth at end in the 1951 Rose Bowl game in order to concentrate on basketball. Former Wolverine Captain Over 6'3" tall and 220 pounds, Skala was captain of 1952 Wolver- ine basketball team and scored 258 points in that season. Both this and his career total of 508 points were once Michigan scoringx records. Leaving Michigan in 1952, he became head coach at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, a position he held for six years before joining Strack in 1959. Skala originally set basketball and football records at Chicago's Lindblom high school, but after coming to Ann Arbor. he never re- turned to the Windy City. The firm for which Skala will go to work is Commercial Carriers, an automotive transport business with offices at Metropolitan Air- port. Married and the father of three children, Skala becomes the fifth 1Michigan coach to resign in the past eight months.

As you know, it has been this club's primary function to organize and coordinate the card section at the football games. But before you condemn us, let me give you the plight of our history. A long time ago we had good seats and a good block, but a poor club administration killed it. Upperclassmen complained and Don Weir had no choice but to put us in the end zone. Ever since then, it has been nothing but downhill. We finally had to cancel the block this -year, due to lack of funds and lack of student support. But Block M is not dead; there is still hope. Its fate, however, depends upon the juniors and seniors of next fall. I am not asking them to give up their seats to some "undeserving freshman." Seats in the block would be handled on a priority basis, just as present student seats are distributed. We would sell membership into the club (which guarantees a person a seat in the block) sometime in March for the new season. In the fall, members would bring their athletic coupons and membership cards to us, and we would give him his book of tickets. And allow me to clear up one more point; it is no "pain" to hold up cards. Our stunts are short, and if handled well, can be finished in ten minutes. All we ask are students in our block who are willing to perform their small task for a very short time. But before any of our hopes become a reality, the upperclassmen must prove to Don Weir, as well as me and my club, that they are going to support the block. I am therefore looking for people willing to help organize the club, work on stunts, or plainly just sit in the block. Send all mail to the Daily. Let's see if we can't fire up our team!'.!'. j Allan Morton President. Michigan Wolverine Club Dear Allan: 1. Too bad the previous Club administrations screwed you by giving you a dead horse in the "Spirit Race." 2.' Good idea on a way to interest people in the Club-make it very exclusive by selling "memberships." Do you really believe that the purchase of these "memberships" indicates an interest in the Block, and not a banal desire to get better seats at home games? How do you expect to keep people from evacuating the Block at halftime the way they always have? I 1 A typically confused UAC official attempts to figure out which is the Little Brown Wastebasket and which is an ordinary receptacle containing literature to be sold at the Union's main floor cigar stand. 4. Why would you possibly want your Club to sit on the 30-yard line? From there the TV cameras, press, and all Michigan students will be more "in the dark" as to what the Block is doing than they have ever been. Well, maybe the Alumns will like it, but then again, they might have seen enough of it before. Bombard me with mail, be- cause I sincerely hope that the upperclassmen will show Allan and his private Club that they really want to be "members" too.
