In the case of the University's intra-Ia mural and recreation programs, however, the buck just getsI kicked back and forth. c Funds are desperately needed for operational expenses and i for new buildings, but it looks like it'll have to rain silver dollars B before the recreation program will do justice to the student body. Athletic Director Don Canham says his department can- u not make significant increases in expenditures for intra- s murals. The Athletic Department certainly cannot fund a s major building proposal out of its budget no matter how many g cuts are made.V University Vice President for Financial Affairs, Wilbur Pier- - pont, agrees with Canham on the latter point. "I don't see how intercollegiate sources are going to be very helpful in solving IM needs. There is not that kind of money there." If not the Athletic Department then perhaps the University could provide the needed funds. Pierpont, who recently returned from a trip to Africa, sees little hope for capital improvements by way of University funds, but leaves the door open for increases in the University's con- tribution to the IM operating budget. "At the present time there are no sources to solve the capital needs for physical education and recreation." The only alternatives are gifts, more state or federal aid, or an increase in student athletic fees over the present five' dollar assessment. Waiting for a gift is like waiting to win the big prize in the lottery, but Canham is hopeful for a gift that would help finance the proposed $2 million project for the renovation of the Colesium, the building of two small intramural buildings and the moving of the ice rink to Yost Fieldhouse. State funds, though, will be hard to come by. Pierpont acknowledges, "Intramural and recreation buildings are far down the list in state funding priority." A program for a new building needs a fixed source of income on the order of $100,000 a year for two decades or so, and no amount of program cutting in either the academic area or the1 Athletic Department can raise that much cash. An increase in student fees is a real possibility, but Pierpont is reluctant to leave the decision entirely up to students. He feels a referendum should serve as a guide to student opinion. "It's going to be a question of how much students would support this type of project," Pierpont remarked. But he j added, "Students don't stay long with a decision." Pierpont is afraid students will do another turn about as they have done on the Crisler Arena question. Students approved Crisler in a referendum, and are now attacking that decision. But the criticism of Crisler is due to excessive costs and in- efficiency. Students did not vote for that. Likewise, if a new - intramural building proved to be a blunder, student criticism would surely arise. But that is no reason to scrap an idea; that is reason to plan more carefully. We should learn from the Crisler mistake. While new building projects depend on millions of dollars, several thousand will give the intramural program a great shot in the arm-a pain killer to temporarily soothe the ills { caused by the facility squeeze. For this purpose funds can be found in both the Athletic h Department and the University. A reduction in the minor sports r program could free some funds immediately for this purpose.' Pierpont points out that "there may be some limited funds in 'i the intercollegiate athletics area for small projects."f Though intramural are under the auspices of the Athletic s Department, it is the responsibility of the University to maintain r a high standard program. Last year's $75,000 contribution from the University general fund can hardly be called responsible. o a Even though cutbacks in superfluous activities such as the t honors convocation and Radrick Farms (Alumni-faculty only) golf course would provide only a small fraction of the needed funds, , c it would be a start and would represent a willingness on the part f of the University to reorder its priorities.a More funds could be found by redirecting some monies from t the libraries and health service. The question here is also one ofg priorities. How do we maximize the use of available funds? Surely, s some money can be spared for IM's. c .t Another source may be the verboten area of academia. I There are many professors who do research yet do little or 1 no teaching, and there are also several small divisions within g University departments that involve a sparse number of o students.A t Using the same criteria of student participation-student interest-and prestige benefits that are often used to justify the c abandonment of the minor sports, these academic areas have as e little justification as these sports. Just because an expenditure isd earmarked for academics does not make it untouchable. Intra- murals and recreation should be gven as much consideration as d some academic areas.F In the long run the Athletic Department may not be able to fund intramurals even with a reduced minor sports program, and then the University will be forced to find the money. Why not make preparations for that time now? Why not plan to separate the intramural and recreation program from the Athletic Department as soon as funds can be redirected to intramurals? This would at least give intramurals a bigger voice with the University's executive officers. Pierpont says the executive officers are aware of the situation and have no communication problem. But he also admitted that these executive officers have not met recently with Intramural and Recreation Director Rodney Grambau. Is Grambau right when he says, "Students and SACUA J (Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs) are the only ones who can put pressure on the executive officers and Regents?" If so, then it is about time to apply some pressure, because intramurals and recreation deserve a far better deal than they are now getting. UNMQUE MEXICAN FOODS and COCKTAilS MEXICAN F SRI IFFFT oppose Blue Il N.Y. clash By GEORGE HASTINGS So far in this young basketball eason, the Michigan Wolverines have won a couple of games over an average Notre Dame team nd a good Oregon State unit. But tonight, in the unfamiliar confines of Nassau, N.Y., the Wolverines face their first excel- ent opponent of the season- Brigham Young. The Michigan club has been nconsistent, showing sporadic igns of offense, especially in the econd half of the Notre Dame game, but it has not yet played well together as a team. But Wolverine coach John Orr knows that he must get his pl gether q'lickly for tonig test. For the Brigham You is a big, veteran, hig group which posted a record in 1971-72 and h its top seven men ba vear' BYU reached t finals of the NCAA F competition, only to be e by powerful Long Bea in a squeaker. As a result, in the1 Associated Press poll, t Utah, school was judge the thirteenth best col ketball team in the nat layers to- ght's con- ng squad gh-scoring fine 21-5 as five of ack. Last he semi- Far West liminated ach State daily sports NIGHT EDITOR: ROGER ROSSITER But despite the fact that BYU preseason is a school run by the Church of he Provo, the Latter-Day Saints, better d to have known as' the Mormon religion, lege bas- a distinctly American church, the ion. basketball team is led by a couple of huge European im- ports. The center, leading scorer, and most colorful player on the squad is Kresimir Cosic, a 6-11 ball- player from Yugosolvia. In ad- dition to playing for Brigham Young, Cosic was also the star of the Yugoslovian national team in both the 1968 and 1972 Olym- pics, helping to make his team one of the top three or four in both competitions. Cosic led the team last year in both scoring and rebounding, averaging over 22 points per game. He is thin and not espe- cially strong, but is a good jump- er with graceful moves around the basket whose best shot is a hook. Another returning starter is Kalevi Sarkalahgiti, a big 6-8 senior from Finland. Sarkalah- giti is not a scorer but is a very strong and bruising rebounder who should give Michigan's front line a workout. The other forward is 6-5 Brian Ambrozich, a 6-S senior, who has r AN supplied important scoring punch so far, averaging 14.5 points. At the guards, BYU has a pair of juniors, 6-3 Doug Richards and Belmont Anderson. Richards is a fine outside shooter and is scoring at a 15 point-a-game clip. Brigham Young's new coach, Glenn Potter, feels that the bal- AP Photo ance and experience of his start- ing line-up are his most impor- tant assets in his first season at an Doug the helm. He notes that Cosic, iger Bob Sarkalahgiti, and Richards are Esposito all returning starters, while Am- brozich and Anderson both were top subs in '71-72 who saw a great deal of action. He feels that his team is bal- anced enough so that if one player is having an off night, the others will be able to pick up the slack enough so that they'll be able to win. The first two games for Brig- ham Young so far this year have been good and bad. They played two games in two nights with Santa Clara, and split, winning the first 84-73 but dropping the second, 64-66, the first loss BYU had suffered at home in 25 games. The problem was that Cosic, who has never been the most consistent player, was hot one night and cold the next, pouring in 31 points and netting 18 re- bounds the first game but hoop- ing only 12 the next. For Brig- ham Young to be at its best, Cosic must be hitting. Orr realizes the stiffness of the test Michigan faces. "They're mighty big," he admits, noting that one of their top replace- ments is a seven-footer, Steve Lackey. No starting line-up changes are anticipated for the Wolverines, but Orr proved Mon- day against Oregon that he is unafraid to go to his bench, es- pecially John Lockard, John Kantner, and C.J. Kupec. The game marks another re- turn to home territory, for Mich- igan forward Henry Wilmore, who played his prep basketball in New York City. The idea of playing the game in Nassau, the home of the New York Nets, is to attempt to kindle some en- thusiasm for collegiate basketball in the immediate area. MICHIGAN'S ERNIE JOHNSON (30) lays in two while teammates C. J. Kupec (41) and Henry Wilmore (25) watch along with an unidentified Oregon State player. Michigan beat Oregon State 68-57 Monday but will get a tough test tonight against Brigham Young at Nassau, N.Y. b. sCI0ItEs I I dub thee 'Sir Knight' Well, not really.

One women waged a courageous if finally disappoint- ng struggle to become baseball's irst female umpire. However, a oul-mouthed manager and a rabid econd baseperson proved too for- midable. Still, the Intramural Department of the University offers quite an array of athletic activities to meet he recreational needs of women. Several of the sports clubs are co-educational. They include the encing, folk dance, Tae Kwan Do, nd ski clubs. NEWCOMERS are truly welcomed o partake of the sports club pro- grams which seek to provide in- truction to the inexperienced and continued practice and participa- ion for all. As an example, the Tae Kwan Do club teaches the elements of Korean karate to beginners while older members perfect their skills. Members of the Fencing club learn he intricacies of the sport and, with equipment furnished by the club, may participate in extensive extramural competition and local demonstrations.
