Court shortage
By ALAN FANGER
For campus racquetball afficionados, finding a court on which to play
often preclu'des the challenge of the game itself.
The recreational sports department has, for some time, recognized the
lack of court space, and last spring it decided to resolve the situation by
proposing the installation of ten courts at the Sports Coliseum.
UNFORTUNATELY, SEVERAL roadblocks have placed the project's
realization far down the road, perhaps as much as five years away.
After the Advisory Committee for Recreational Sports (ACIS)
determined the project to be structurally feasible, an investigation was
launched into the method by which funds could be raised to build the courts.
An estimate of $300,000 was given. This would be a sizable chunk of the
rec sports department's budget, thus the realistic alternative seems to be a
generation of funds from outside the department.
"The money could come from several sources," said Bill Canning,
associate director of rec sports. "We could get some from the General Fund,
some from public donations, or we could try to generate some ourselves. We
could submit the issue to a referendum, and see if the student body would be
willing to tax themselves," explained Canning.
Canning added that the department will have to wait until the end of the
year in order to decide how the money will be raised. "We won't know if our
department can raise the funds until the budget is examined," he said.
RACQUETBALL COURT space, isn't the only problem under
consideration by ACRS; there are other renovations, such as the lighting of
the Palmer Field tennis courts, which may be placed higher on the list of
pirorities.
"There are many areas in which we would like to make improvements,"
said Canning. "Our department has to decide which project gets priority."
As with the fund raising issue, such a process may take a good deal of
time.
And until that time, fanatics of the nation's fastest growing sport will
just have to keep on plugging away for that precious court space.

"Playing basektball is something
I just like to do," said Williams, a
junior who last year could be seen at
the CCRB every afternoon. He has
established regular recreation
hours, as have most other groupies.
"You'll see the regular crowd here
between four and seven during the
week," Williams said. "Right now
(about 2 p.m. last Friday) I only see
about 15 guys who I know. But they'll
come."
Sure enough, two hours later the
regulars did arrive. The middle two
courts (denoted as "Challenge
Courts") had games lined up three-
deep. The quality of play improved
vastly as more and more groupies
stepped onto the court.
Lest you believe that the groupie
syndrome ends with basketball,
several other recreational activities
have their own loyal followings.
Take weightlifting, for instance.
When you walk into the weight
training room in the IM, CCRB or
NCRB, you're likely to see men and
women punishing their bodies, their
brows a stream of perspiration,
their faces grimacing with pain.
Although the most serious lifters
frequent the IM Building, many
dedicated conditioning enthusiasts
opt for the CCRB with its new
Nautilus machine. Both locations
attract their share of groupies.
One of them is John Villanacci, a
graduate student and teaching
fellow in the physical education
running and working out. By this
time of the year, though, only the
die-hards remain.
"The fact is, if you really want to
doit (exercise), you'll do it. If you're
just in a passing phase with no
ultimate purpose in mind, you'll
procrastinate."
Another IM groupie, senior Larry
Lipnik, cited "groupie unity" as a
motivational factor. A handball
enthusiast, Lipnik and about seven
others head for the CCRB courts
during winter to play "handball
challenge."
"It's conducted like a tournament,
but it's all done in a very friendly
way," said Lipnik, a three-sport
letter winner at Southfield Lathrup
High School. "At first no one knew
each other, but eventually we got to
be friends."
They became such good friends
that, after finishing play on
Mondays and Wednesday, they
often cap the evening with some
post-game refreshment at local
pubs.
One can find the most
heterogeneous gathering of groupies
running around the tracks. Students,
staff, parents and faculty all make
use of the three-lane ovals, each
runner with a different gait. Some
sprint for short distances, while
others prefer to cavort about at a
leisurely pace, chatting with friends
and stranger alike.
For the most part, however, it's
