There are a few members of the football team that are be- throthed such as Mike Lantry. A certain Big Fella who plays bas- ketball took a trip down the aisle. But on the whole, mar- riage is frowned upon for an athlete. The only swimmer who issmar- ried is Don Peterson, a senior from Kendallville, Ind. Peterson and his wife Marge were married in their freshman year of col- lege and have a son, Steven, who is 1 years of age. Peterson is majoring in general science and hopes to be a chemistry teacher and swim coach in Kentucky. It has been often suggested by many coaches that marriage and sports do not mix like oil and water. But Peterson thinks mar- riage is, more often than not, better than having a steady girl- friend. "Some coaches say girls tend to be more trouble when you're going steady," Peterson said. "They say either marry them or drop them." Michigan swim coach Gus Sta- ger, who himself was married as a student at Michigan, reflected on a coaches view of the prob- lem. "It doesn't really depend on the man but more on the woman. She must learn to take a back- seat to the athlete's career, or it won't work. It really takes a strong, remarkable woman to do that." Marge Peterson realizes that to be true even though her own realization was slow in coming. "It took me a long time not to be jealous of the time he spends swimming," she said. "I wish he was home more with Steven, but I want him to do well in what he's doing. I hate for him to do a shotty job because he cut prac- tice just to be home." Peterson knew his wife through- out high school but it wasn't until a surprise party that they really met, and started dating. "I was having a surprise party for a friend," Marge explained, "and the whole class from the school was invited. Don was downstairs playing ping-pong with a friend when I walked by. As I did, he slapped me on the rear. After that we started dating." Peterson's marriage to Marge and swimming has not been all peaches and cream. Monetary ob- ligations have interferred with vital summer training. "The first summer that we werehmarried I tried to work and swim," Peterson stated, "and I ruined myself. I was sick all summer and generally wrecked. After that, I worked and forgot about the training. Consequently, when I returned to school in the fall, I was woefully out of shape. So instead of playing polo, I worked out." HISTORY UNDERGRADS! MEETING TONIGHT 7:30 2041 MASON REFRESHMENTS Another conflict is Peterson's desire to be a good father to his future shortstop son. He skips Sunday practice to spend time at home but still it isn't as much as he would like because of meets and two practices a day. Stager says Peterson, as a swimmer,' has beenthampered by the team's weaknesses over the year. Because of deficiencies in backstroke and butterfly, Peter- son has not been able to con- centrate on one particular stroke and to excell in it. "He always swam the tough races in the past," Stager said. Whenever we needed a good race in the backstroke or butterfly, Pete got the call. Plus that, he swam the individual medley and sometimes all three races in a meet. This season he can con- centrate on the fly alone and hopefully he can place in the Nationals." As a married man, Peterson does not find his teammates re- acting any differently, even though he spends less time with them than he did as a freshman. "I wish he'd go out more with the guys," says Marge, "be- cause it hurts his relationship with the team. I guess he feels guilty if he doesn't spend time with me. For Peterson, Saturday's meet with Southern Methodist is quite important. He has been disap- pointed with his performance so far and a good race against SMU- will enhance his chances on plac- ing in the NCAA's. But his future is with his wife and young son, and swimming has only been a means to achieve it. F j' 1i 14 I HOW IS YOUR DELIVERY? Is delivery of THE DAILY acceptable? We hope so!

The announcement was made minutes after the NBA's All- Star game in which the East defeated the West 104-84. Don DeJardin, general manager of the 76ers, made the an- nouncement and said Loughery, an 11-season NBA veteran, was given a contract which will cover the present season and the following two years. " CHICAGO-Quinn Buckner, Indiana's fabulous freshman who made the usually difficult conversion from football to basket- ball has been named the Big Ten basketball player of the week by the Associated Press. He scored only 10 points in the 83-71 triumph over Minnesota but "controlled the tempo of the game" according to Gopher Coach Bill Musselman and then pumped in 18 points in a 97-89 triumph at Michigan State Monday night. 0 BLOOMINGTON, Minn.-Gump Worsley, veteran National Hockey League goaltender, is retiring from the Minnesota North Stars, General Manager Wren Blair announced yesterday.

And let's face it, many people consider them ugly! Why don't electric light and power companies get with it, and put these lines underground? The answer is: They'd like to. but they can't. The nation's electric utilities are spending mil- lions of dollars on research and development. One day, they'll lick the problem. Until then, they'll have to go on building extra-high voltage transmission systems with towers like these. So Michigan will have the power it needs, where it company... mm. S & ! E_ I I
