There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that the U-M Athletic Department shelled out a mere $75 in support of the Club Skiing Team. A team, which incidently boasts of a first' place showing in the United States Ski Association regionals; recently held at Nub's Knob. Ac- tually, the Athletic Department saw fit to donate $50, which according to Team President Jim Byrnes, will just about take care of the expenses of one man for one meet.j To say that Byrnes was satisfied with the Athletic Department's $50 proposal at the beginning of the year is of course wrong. But cer- tainly he wasn't as concerned with this refusal of more money then; as he is now, especially in light! of the opportunity to send skiers to the USSA divisionals being held this weekend in Minnesota. The lack of finances, however, has cost the team this opportunity. This is m p a r t i c u la r I y disheartening to are rated by the USSA either A, Byrnes because of the somewhat B, or C according to their ability) surprising success the team has while Jim Sempre, showing re- achieved this season. markable improvement, grabbed "Despite the fact that we have the number one title in class B, no coach, and conduct no organized which later served as the basis for practices (due to the monetary his promotion to class A. situation) we've finished very high In the women's division, both in all of our meets, defeating teams Chris Flemming and Liz Collier such as Michigan State, which in- performed well in taking first and cidently employs a full-time coach third in the class C competition. and schedules regular practices."

However, the bulk of the team's resources depended on a fund-raising drive, in which they collected a little over $1000. But as is frequently the case with team funds, the expenses of earlier meets have left little financial sup- port. Let's look at the facts as they now stand. Michigan has a fine ski team.

At these meetings rep- resentatives of the departments will explain their offerings requirements, and career possibiilties. They wil also answer questions relating to their programs. Second semester sophomores and others who may wish to have information on department programs are urged to attend those meetings which pertain to their academic and career goals. All meetings are scheduled to precede the beginning of advanced classification, so student decisions may be reached before course elections are to be made.
