Dy itilin iZ I 'L.i'4FKf Cor'ner-stone' (kor'ner-ston') - Something of fundamental importance; a trait or fact upon which others rest as if forming a superstructure.-1. In trying to establish a brand new Michigan women's track team, Coach Red Simmons needed to find himself a cornerstone, someone who by herself could lend the team some badly needed respectability. THUS ENTERS junior Pam Moore. With Simmons trying to nurture his freshmen and with outstanding fresh- man Darlynda Key sidelined due to illness much of the indoor season, it has been Moore's task to run in four or five events a meet - hoping to take the pressure off the others. "If I lose her from this group," stated Simmons, "There's nothing left. She's SANS SOUCI large furnished 1 and 2 bed- room apartments available for fail occupancy Located across from U of M stadium Bus Service every 15 minutes from Hoover St. to State St. call 995-3955 visit resident manager at apartment K-i the fastest and the best runner I have." Moore doesn't mind the pressure. "It means nothing. I'm very competitive and I enjoy it," she added, "But I do wish that Didi (Key) would come back." MOORE HAS SET school records at practically every meet she has com- peted in this year, For the time being, Moore must be satisfied with personal achievements rather than team wins. She acknowledges that, but looks to the time when Michigan develops into a contender. "It's so obvious that we're not going to have a real strong team," Moore commented, "but it's going to be a pleasure to come back and watch them (after graduation)." A MEMBER OF Ionia High's state champion women's team her senior year, Moore came to Michigan even though it lacked a women's team. She opted instead for Simmons' amateur Michigammes club, where Simmons shaped her raw potential into perfor- mance. "She was at the same level of progress as she was in high school," said Simmons, "She hadn't stopped running, it was just that she hadn't had a lot of competition. "She's to the point where she has con- fidence in herself," he added, "she'll work now, everything you want her to do and more." WHAT IS EXPECTED of her is merely running in both the 880 and mile relays, along with the 60, 220 and quar- ter-mile individual events. She often comes through, as evidenced by her two individual and two relay victories in a meet with Central Michigan three weeks ago. Moore credits Simmons with im- proving her time in the sprints, but when asked to give an opinion on her 68- year-old mentor, Moore was at a loss for words. Simmons had less trouble in stating his thoughts. "I could use 15 to 20 more of her," he said, "we'd be pretty hard to beat." r r - s - m -= m * Charter Travel Corporation I GUARANTEED CHARTERS & PRICES !! I Let history be the judge.

I've had this feeling since the first few games I viewed in Crisler, two years ago. First of all, I am not an avid basketball fan by any means. I don't enjoy myself at Crisler solely because of the basketball game itself. There's something else in the Crisler atmosphere that somehow makes you feel like you're away from the Ann Arbor scene. Sure, there's still plenty of Maize and Blue around just to remind you of where you're at, but the entire arena serves as a place where students can forget about that mid-term, for at least a couple of hours. And this is impor- tant for the sanity of many students during the Yukon-like winters of Michigan. Crisler's 13,609 capacity is a good check on the athletic department's moneymaking desires .The conmnon undergraduate is not just sand in a beach of 104,000 maize and blue grains at Crisler. Yet, the athletic department's student ticket limit policy may jeopardize this positive feature in the years ahead. , If I had to pick the most brain ingraining attribute of Crisler, it has to be the guitar section of the band. I'm constantly humming one of their songs hours after a game. I've talked with others who have the same side effect from a Michigan basketball game. And during warm-ups, the players from both sides are obviously sparked by some of the more rhythmic pieces. The basketball band seems personalized at Crisler. At football games, all one sees of the band is a bunch of uniformed people in various formations. The basketball band members are a vocal section of the crowd. During the Iowa game, it was the band which started the eerie 'Art' cheer to antagonize a deserving Big Ten official, Art White. The band is there to entertain, and yet the members are still able to be a part of the crowd. In addition to the existing divisions of people, such as press, athletic department, alumni and students there is the blue and gold section divide. It's similar to first class and economy sections in an airplane. And although the gold section isn't terrible to watch a game from, I'd rather be in the blue. Boisterous fans in the blues The blue section, besides offering a relief to the eyes, also receives more attention before the game as it justly should. Those ticketholders (at least in the student part) sacrificed much time to secure those precious seats. They have to be close to the action. The warm-ups and the cheerleaders' pre-game activities, along with the band, prepare the blue section's fanatic fans for a night of voice-straining screaming. But for many in the gold regions, these activities aren't close enough to capture much interest, or at least the fans aren't as engulfed in the carnival environment. Maybe because they don't have the need to be prepared for the game like the fanatics in the blue. During the game, those in the gold have some problems such as not being able to see the scoreboard or getting their ears blown out by the buz- zer. Meanwhile, those in the blue get to see the bruising Mike McGee takes to get position inside. The fans in the blue also have the opportunity to let the A- B-C officials know what they think of the current controversial call. And it's amazing how much better the refs' ears are than their eyes. Purdue has a much better scoreboard arrangement in Mackey Arena. There, is a scoreboard in every corner around the floor. That way, every fan is looking directly at a scoreboard. Knowing the score without having to strain your neck can be considered a luxury by many at Crisler. Another unique feature at Crisler is the noise level. At Purdue or In- diana, the decibel level registers ear-shattering almost all of the time. The noise level at Crisler, however, hardly ever reaches that high intensity. Yet, in a strange way because of this lack of constant noise, things seem that much wilder when an exciting play occurs. Then, the noise level jumps from nothing to ear-rupturing, which forms quite a rowdy effect. The crowd has seemed louder this year, probably due to the inconsistencies on the court. Although this season has not been as successful as those in the near pas, and there have been a few no-shows in the last two S * games as a result, most of the Crisler contingent appears. this or any other time, goes to show that there is you know we'll something about an evening or a be here. Saturday afternoon at Crisler, which just doesn't center around U -M STYLISTS whether or -not Michigan wins or loses. Whether its record is 10-0 or 6-4. And this is the primary UNION reason why I like Crisler-even with its drawbacks-so much. l NEED A RIDE HOME? for real results, advertise in the i * aA a' m n *aAmaal A i
