MICHIGAN R OWING GROWS
Rowers enthused despite troubles
By BILLY NEFF
Consider this plight: you wake up at
six in the morning, every morning, and
run down to your practice site, regar-
dless of the weather. The weather
usually is not conducive to peak per-
formances. And sometimes you are
without a coach.
The equipment you .normally work
with cannot be used anywhere but in
practice. For races, you borrow
someone else's equipment. Some of the
equipment you practice with was used
in the 1952 Pan American Games.
FURTHERMORE, some part of your
equipment is snapping all the time.
Thus, you spend much of practice men-
ding equipment. If that isn't enough to
dampen your spirits, a windstorm blew
all of your equipment over and
smashed it last spring.
What in the world makes you con-
tinue to persevere under such con-
ditions?
Michigan rowing club member Alex
Johnson, who has endured all the
aforementioned horrors, remains stoic
about his sport. "The whole reason the
people in the club put so much work into
it is because they want to row," said
Johnson, a former president of the club.

309 S. STATE ST.
FELLOW CLUB member Nancy
Arkin, one of 20 women in the club, ad-
ded, "I like the people, which isn't the
only reason, but it has a lot to do with it.
We used to practice at six in the mor-
ning. To get up that early, you have to
be crazy."
But craziness is always somewhat in-
volved concerning someone's passion.
What happens, though, if his passion
doesn't even exist when you enter
school?
"I saw a lot of problems. I didn't see
any rowing program," Johnson obser-
ved of Michigan's situation when he fir-
st began rowing here in the winter of
1977.
"THE FIRST semester I rowed we
didn't have an eight (oared boat),"
Johnson said, referring to the number
of rowers and oars in the boat..
"Whenever we raced, we rowed with
people we hadn't rowed with before,"
he added.,
Therefore, the club borrowed equip-
ment, which it has been doing ever sin-
ce, in order to race. Johnson believes
the borrowing of equipment affects a
boat's performance.
"The equipment we borrow usually is
not that good, and we're not used to it.
It's like running in a strange pair of
shoes," Johnson declared.
IN PRACTICE, the Michigan rowers
suffer with some very shoddy equip-
ment, including the boat in the 1952 Pan
American Games. Fortunately for the
club, though, Al Arbury, a rowing en-
thusiast in Detroit, donated a boat last
year to the University.
"It's the only boat that we have that
is raceable, which is one of the
problems we have. We don't have any
equipment that is raceable," Johnson
noted.
"A new boat costs $6,000-$8,000. We
don't have a boathouse right now. We
store stuff in the Coliseum, and it has to
go outside in winter. It (a new boat)
would ruin in a couple of days," he con-
tinued.
DESPITE THE windstorm of last
spring and present problems,
Michigan's rowing club has turned the
corner, according to Johnson. Member-
ship has grown from 16 to 60 in two
years.
"We've come a long way. A lot of
people come in who have rowed at other
schools, and they don't stay because
they don't like the,facilities. This year,
the people who have rowed before (at
other schools) have stayed. We've
come to the point where we can put out
an experienced boat first day so they
stay," Johnson pointed out.
Johnson has seen the turnaround fir-
sthand. "It's a lot more competitive.
Now you have to compete for seats in a
boat. When I first came here, we used to
beg people to show up so we could
race," he continued.
"THE FIRST time I came we could
not beat Michigan State. Now it's not
really worth our time to race them,"
Johnson concluded. (Michigan's rowers
soundly whipped the Spartans this past
season.)
This metamorphosis is so complete
that the rowing club sent 47 members to
Boston's Head-of-the-Charles Regatta
in October. Despite a perpetual lack of
funds, the club scrounged up enough
money by selling items such as donuts
and coffee to send many members to
Boston.
A final shred of respectability came
when the recreation department upped
the club's annual "next to nothing" an-
te by a considerable amount, according
to Johnson.
"THE FACT that you have 60 people
spending 20 hours a week meant some
money," noted Johnson. "It (the
present aid) is okay, but inadequate,
since we still don't have any equip-
ment."
Arkin, meanwhile, worries less about
the lack of equipment than about the
lack of coaching. The men have two
coaches, Don Dossett and Phil Keston
(the latter coached at MIT), while the
women are without a coach.
But she will continue to row since
"they don't have a women's soccer club
here. I rowed in the summer in Boston.
I like it. When you've had two hours of
sleep and you have to get up at six in the
morning, you wonder," she adds. So do
we.
