Nor did Naismith have any idea that his invention would have important glass repercussions. "It's (basketball's) a means of getting out of the ghetto; it's a means to an end," said Detroit Pistons' basketball coach Dick Vitale. Naismith did not know his invention would turn college into merely a stepping stone to fame and fortune. Who can forget what high school super- star Ralph Sampson said when he decided to enter the University of Virginia. "I will turn pro after two years here." ' Sampson's case and the example of Johnny Robinson, former Michigan standout forward all fall into the same category. When Robinson was waived by the LosAngeles Lakers, he dejectedly said, "now I'll go to work in the steel mills." Yes, basketball is a means of getting out of the ghetto-but it is not the only means. Athletes often forget this fact and they also forget that everyone can't be a professional athlete. Being a professional is an ambitious goal, but it is not the cure all or end all. Let me illustrate this point. Former Michigan starting forward Alan Hardy is trying out with the Pistons. Hardy has survived rookie camp and has made it to the final 15 players. Unfortunately for "City Al," he does know the meaning of the terms Naismith didn't know. Hardy knows the meaning of these words because they are cutting into his chances of fulfilling a lifelong dream of playing professional basketball. Due to the fact that many Pistons have no-cut contracts, a lot of players are almost guaranteed spots on the Pistons' roster. In addition, the 11-player limit does not allow for Hardy to have much of a chance of playing with the Pistons. "It is obvious to the naked eye that the odds are against him. He is faced with a tremendous dilemma," said Vitale. Hardy, on the other hand, says, "I think my chances are pretty good. Thaings are not going as well as I would like them to for myself. I'm trying to adapt to coming into the NBA," added Hardy. When asked what he would do if he did not make the Pistons, Hardy declared, "I'm not going to talk about that yet. But I think another team would pick me up." Let's say, just perchance, Hardy does not make the Pistons and another team does not add him to their roster (I hope this doesn't happen because I've always been a big fan of Hardy's). What would he do? Alan Hardy, you can bet, will meet success with his life. As a very in- telligent graduate in communications, Hardy will be able to find a job somewhere. But not all athletes that matriculate here, Black or White, are as intelligent as Hardy, and most are not. However, many of the athletes who pass through Michigan do envision professional sports at the end of the tunnel. "In 95 per cent of all cases, they (the athletes) are going to come in thinking pro. It's pretty natural; society breeds that in our athletes," commented Jim Betts, former academic advisor to athletes at Michigan, now residing in Boston. "I was in pretty much the same boat with football. If you spent most of your life playing a sport, it is a natural goal. Then, if you don't make it, you ask yourself, what do you do now,".Betts said. "If an athlete looks at any major institution with a reputation in athletics, he says, 'I stand a damn good chance of playing professional foot- ball or basketball'," Betts points out. Betts agrees, though, that professional sports is not the cure all especially since "less than 1 per cent make it in football, for example. The odds areincredibly tremendous. There's just too much talent out there," continued Betts. The obvious question, then, is when do the players come to grips with this reality. "After they've been here two or three years, then they may realize they're not going to make it in professional sports. In most cases, it is a rude awakening," Betts concluded. This article is not an indictment of the Michigan system, but instead of the psychology of the Michigan athlete. He should realize both that at any time, he could be injured or that less than 1 per cent of college football players make it professionally. I believe academic counselor George Hoey when he says, "there is an emphasis stressed to make sure that the students graduate while they are here." Athletes should look at Hardy, when they start only seeing themselves as professional athletes. "When I came here, I wasn't thinking professionally. One of my goals was to complete school and I did." They should keep open a diverse fild of goals. If more athletes thought like Hardy and listened to Betts, in the figurative sense, the Ralph Sampsons of the world would not join the Johnny Robinsons in the steel mills. You see, Mr. Naismith, everything doesn't always turn out peachy keen. k r A / 4.

PIONEER HIGH FACES LAWSUIT: Golfer alleges sex bias By DAN CONLIN The Ann Arbor Board of Education and the varsity golf coach at Pioneer High School have been named as defen- dants in a sex discrimination suit filed by a woman who competed on the 1978 Pioneer golf team. Pamela Othen, a senior at the school, filed a $125,000 suit in federal court Sept.- 21. The suit charges golf coach Tom Wilson with cutting her from the squad because of her sex. In the suit, Othen coutends she scored better in the August team tryouts than seven players who were chosen for this year's squad. Wilson said he based his decision to cut Othen on more than just her scores. The suit states that Wilson cut Othen "to make sophomores to play." Wilson, when reached fo on the case, said lie had be remain silent on the matter. however, say that Othen's a "unsatisfactory."

Judge Charles Joiner, who is han- dling the case, has yet to arrange a date for the hearing. RACE MAKES NO DIFFERENCE Vitale only worried about injuries Welcome Students TO THE DASCOLA HAIRSTYLISTS Liberty off State-668-9329 East U. at South U.-6612-0354 Arborland-971-9975 Maple Village-761-2733 By BILLY NEFF There is an interesting sidelight in the Detroit Pistons camp at Crisler Arena - there are no white players in camp. Even the referees for the Piston scrimmages are all black ! Fortunately, Pistons' Coach Dick Vitale doesn't seem to preoccupy him- self with these matters. "The Red Wings are all white. We're approaching the 1980s. I always felt in my heart that people are people. I'd like to think people are judged by their ability," Vitale said. "All I'm interested in is does. a team give an honest effort; that's all that counts," adds the second-year mentor. VITALE, ALWAYS the philosopher, lapses off into his famous analogies. "Why is the black athlete dominating as much as he is: I look at my kids - suburbanites. You've got your country club, your tennis club. I can take you down to the inner city at midnight. Kids are playing with torn sneakers. It's a way of life. It's a religion." It is easy for Vitale to accept the last situation but not as easy for him to ac- cept his present injury situation. "Basically, it's a situation where we're experiencing so many minor, nagging injuries. You can't get a true picture of your progress," opined Vitale. "We have to find out real quick (about the team). We have so many THE MOUNTAIN PARKA young players. Can they do it Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday? In college, you play Tuesday, slap hands Wed nesday and Thursday, and then play again on Saturday. Here, you have to' have the ability to do it consistently," continued Vitale. WHEN VITALE referred to the younger players, he had in mind first round draft picks Gregory Kelser, UCLA's Roy Hamilton, Michigan's own Phil Hubbard, other draftees Earl Evans, Terry Duerod, Tony Price and. free agents Alan Hardy and Stan' Joplin, of Milan. According to Vitale, "It doesn't take a genius to figure out a veteran will be - out of a job." He must have in mind Terry Tyler, Leon Douglas or John Shumate. Whatever happens, Vitale, always candid and engaging, has as the bum- per sticker says, "reVitaleized the. Pistons." In just his second year as the leader of the perennial dormats in professional basketball, he has made the Pistons a playoff contender. But if they start winning, his philosophizing won't be as much fun. . . .,.
