Authority, consistency
kvey to IM officiating

By SCOTT M. LEWIS
A Daily Sports Analysis,
In a few weeks University
professors will distribute "'teacher
evaluation" forms. No matter what
one's feelings are toward the
instructor, he has the duty as a
student to complete these forms free
of bias.
When I decided to diagnose the
problems which plague officials in
the Intramural Department, I thrust
myself into a somewhat similar
situation. As an IM official in
softball and basketball, I know the
difficulties confronting umpires and
referees. I know how officials are
trained and what aspects of
officiating are stressed.
AS A PLAYER, however, I know
that competence among IM officials
fluctuates about as much as
Michigan's November weather. And
I can admit from my own
experiences that a few umps and
refs put forth less than maximum
effort..
Perhaps :the most disturbing part
of IM officiating is this very
laziness, a nonchalance which
infuriates players who are
exhausting their bodies only to be
victimized by a blundering zebra.
The official who does not hustle to
gain the best possible view of a play
is begging for trouble. Players will
always dispute a blown call, but an
erring ref or ump can preserve
order by proving to the contestants
that he is indeed giving his best.
IN CONTRAST, a handful of

officials prefer to amble downfield
at a leisurely pace. They'are the
spectator refs, keeping one eye on
the game and the other on their
wristwatches. They deserve to be
blasted for a poor job, and often they
are.
Although sluggishness is the
number one problem among
Intramural officials, most of the
serious controversies arise from
rule interpretation. In this area,
consistency (or lack of same) is the
key. Rules often are vague, but they
must be enforced consistently, not
aimlessly.
To ensure control of a game, an
intramural official must let the
players know that HE is the boss.
"'Selling the call," as Supervisor
Officials Sandy Sanders describes it,
helps refs establish order and gain
respect.
SOME REFS, however, let the
authority get to their head and
conduct business in an arrogant,
"hands-off" manner. For them, the
playing field no longer is a
recreational area; it is a
dictatorship and they perceive
themselves as dictators.
Even though it appears that I
delight in ripping apart some of my
colleagues, such is not the case,
Pointing out deficiencies is different
from lambasting referees following
a narrow loss. Only through
constructive criticism will
Intramural officiating continue to
improve.

IMDEPAR TMENT DEALS WITH PROTESTS, FOUL PLAY
Disciplinar boards maintain order

By DAVE JOHNSON
For most of us, sports is an escape
from reality. It's a medium through
which we can release the stress and
strain of everyday life. It's also a
means of making new friends with
whom we share a common interest.
Win or lose - ties are made.
Unfortunately, there are a few in-
dividuals who participate with a
"win at all costs" attitude. They
philosophize that to lie, cheat, or in-
timidate others is just, if that's what
it takes to win. It is that conduct
which forced the establishment of
protest and disciplinary boards
within the intramural system.
The Intramural Protest Board
consists of three assistant IM direc-
tors. Sandy Sanders, supervisor of
sports officials, is a permanent
member of the board. Fellow
assistant directors Ellen Gold, Ken
Nemerovski, and Jan Wells assist
Sanders on a rotating basis.
The function of this board is to
gather pertinent information from
game officials and representatives
from both teams whenever a protest
is filed. After reviewing the case,
they vote on the matter. A majority
opinion decides the case.
Whenever a team protests an even
there are several stipulations it
must follow:
" All protests must be made by the
team captain at the time of the

may be filed. At this time, the of-
ficials will notify both teams that the,
game is being played under protest
and will so state on the scorecard.
*All protests must be made in
writing on the official protest form
and submitted at the main office of
the IM Sports Building before 4:30
p.m. of the next working day.
* The written protest must be ac-
companied by a $10 protest fee. This
fee is returned if the protest is
upheld, but forfeited if the protest is
denied. The forfeited money is piped
back into the program as a means of
paying officials who are hired for
rescheduled games.

Surprisingly, there have been only
seven protests filed this year; foot-
ball (1), softball (4), track (1), and
golf (1).
"That's mainly due to the ex-
cellent officiating our officials
provide," says assistant IM director
Ellen Gold. "Sandy (Sanders) has
helped tremendously in upgrading
the program. Each official has a
greater knowledge of the rules and
operates with more confidence.
They have also gained the respect of
most participants. And Sandy is
usually nearby to help whenever a
dispute does arise."


The second board established by
the recreational sports department
is the Intramural Disciplinary
Board. It hears cases involving
cheating, fighting, and physical/-
verbal abuse of officials.
Ms. Gold functions ass the
Disciplinary Board chairperson. A
second assistant I.M. director and
three other students make up the
rest of the board. The students are
elected early in the year by fellow
athletes and serve throughout the
season.
'Whenever disciplinary actions are
necessary, a field supervisor files a
report to the Disciplinary Board,
The individual(s) are then notified
in writing of the charges against
them, and given a specific hearing
date.
After the hearing, the board meets
privately to determine its action.
When a decision is reached
(majority vote) the chairperson
distributes a written report to the
defendant.
Decisions of the board may be ap-
pealed. Appeals must be submitted
in writing to the Director of In-
tramurals, Dick Pitcher, within 10
days.
The appeals board consists of two
assistant directors and Pitcher him-
self.
If the defendant appeals again, the
case goes to the "Supreme Court",
Dr. Michael Stevenson, director of
