Page 10-Thursday, October 12, 1978-The Michigan Daily scoreboard This week's results 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.

They didn't. Williams. Corn ing.soon :Some exercise, lots of fun it e f1 n e y "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
