NEW FOR SPRING
I
While the rest of the Michigan
spring sport teams were bask-
ing in Southern climates com-
pleting road trips, the Welver-
ine tennis team was back home
in Ann Arbor, working hard, and
eager for the regular season to
get under way.
Not that the netters don't like
suntans, but the Maize and Blue
are now bona fide national con-
tenders. Hence coach Brian Eis-
ner decided to make a policy
change this season. Last year
pleting road trips, the Wolver-
Texas during spring break in
preparation for the season. This
year they are waiting until
school ends and then journeying
to California to take on UCLA
and Southern California, who
are ranked in the top three in
the tennis squad ventured to
everyone's poll. Eisner quipped;
trip was preparation for our reg-
ular season. Now the season will
be preparation for the trip."
Eisner is definitely justified in
this decision. "Tennis" and
"Tennis West", two magazines
which each year publish a pre-
season poll, have both elected
Michigan as fifth ip the nation
behind four warm - weather
schools. UCLA and Southern.
California are ranked 2-3 behind
Stanford in both polls. Playing
these two powers before Michi-
gan has fully adapted to outdoor
play could hurt their seeding in
the all-important NCAA cham-
pionships.
Michigan has already faced
UCLA once this season at the
NCAA indoor championships, in
which they placed seventh. They
lost 8-1, but most importantly
were playing without the serv-

ices of Fred deJesus, who was at
that time scheduled for number
one singles. Victor Amaya, fill-
ing in, came through with an im-
pressive victory. But all six sin-
gles players were forced to move
up a grade, which could have
made a difference in the final
results.
Eisner feels the team is rap-
idly improving and should be
ready to give UCLA a battle in
May. "We're very eager to get
back out there and play them
with Freddie in our lineup (de-
Jesus). Right now on paper they
should beat us, but we're young
and improving and it could be a
different story," noted Eisner.
Young is an understatement.
At the moment the Wolverines
1-2-3 men are all freshmen, with
Eric Friedler in the third spot,
and sophomore Jerry Karzen
holding down the fourth position.
This is a reflection on the
strength, not the weakness of
the team. Of last year's team
which won the Big Ten, and
placed in the top twenty in the
NCAA's, all are back except no.
1 player Joel Ross. Currently
battling for the fifth and sixth
positions are junior Kevin San-
ich, seniors Dick Ravreby, Tim
Ott, and Mike Ware, and sopho-
more Jeff Miller. All five have
been Big Ten champions at at
least one position, and some two.
Eisner, in an enviable posi-
tion as far as coaching goes,
commented, "Right now these
guys are playing the best tennis
they've played at Michigan be-
cause of the competition. It's a
nice feeling to not have to wor-
ry about injuries, because we
know we have someone who can
step in and help us. We'll defi-
nitely be playing with nine play-
ers this year."
Although Michigan has not had
any team competition since the
Indoor Championships at Wis-
consin, they have been active
in tournaments. Probably the
most impressive showing was at
npionsh
the Western Trdoors at Cleve-
land, Ohio, which is the largest
tourn-mert in the Midwest. Of
the eight a'i rter - finalists, six
were from Michigan's present
squad. Jeff Miller advanced to
the finals where he was defeat-
ed by a Michigan graduate,
Mark Conti.
The doubles finals featured an
all Wolverine match as Fried-
ler and Ravreby beat Ware and
Senich.
Two weeks ago at Canton,
Ohio the Wolverines had one
more successful tournament as
Victor Amaya defeated another
Michigan graduate, Brian Mar-
cus 6-3, 6-1, in the singles finals.
It was another all Michigan dou-
bles finals as Amaya-Friedler
Ip run
took KArze -Senich for the cham
pio "ship.
One t--ig which will work in
vlchig 'n's favor is that their
twn) talented fres'-men, Amaya
and deJesus, have both been in-
ited to play in international
tournaments.
With talent coming out its
e rs Michig-rn should not be
seriously chAllenged in Big Ten
competition. There are some
very good teams on their reg-
ul -r season schedule, but should
Michig-n live up to its potential
these teems should supply can-
non fodder until Michigan takes
on the "big ones" in California.
The Wolverines' first outing
will be a home meet on April 12
against Notre Dame.

Human Needs Unmet?
WOMEN'S COMMUNITY CLINIC
Now that the Supreme Court has eliminated the legal barriers,
we must not allow the medical establishment to turn abortions into
another source of high profits.
Each week in Ann Arbor dozens of women, many on low-income
budgets, need abortions. At the city council meeting, M a y o r Harris
and the city councilmen spoke against a proposal to set up a low cost,
women-controlled health clinic.
The Human Rightts Party feels that the need for such a clinic,
supplying Ann Arbor women with basic health c a r e needs (including
abortion) necessitates the immediate allocation of the r e q u e s t e d
$50,000 from the city's revenue sharing funds.

CHILD CARE
The Human Rights Party has taken the lead on city council in
recognizing the city's child care needs. HRP's initial revenue sharing
proposal called for $200,000 for child care, the Democratic proposal
called for $37,000. The "compromise" now awaiting council approval
will appropriate $200,000.
The city must continue to support child care. It must also put
pressure on the University to provide for the needs of the 1,400 chil-
dren in its married housing units.
