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- "by Impol" " .Orthopedic * Staple-less Many styles and colors * Men and Women sizes TONIGHT! 8:00 P.M. Sharp!

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. 17 Nickels Arcade 9-5:30 Mon.-Sat. E _ _I 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.

ENSURE THAT ALL HAVE THEIR HEALTH 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. i i +w i i f M i i i i i i i y t * * *7* * NOMINATED FOR " . * 0 ACADEMY AWARDS INCLUDIINJG BEST PICTURE BEST BEST * ACTRESS SUPPORTING .
