The first black athlete to play in the Southeastern Confer-
ence was Vanderbilt's Perry Wallace. The year ? 1968. As
they say, things move more slowly in the South.
What is to follow may not seem like much. It's up to
you. But several of Michigan's black players think the ser-
vice in the Nashville-Vanderbilt Holiday Inn's dining room has
been sort of slow. And they feel it is slower for the black
members of the team than for the whites.

According to Rickey Green, he, Robinson, and several
other black players sat for close to an hour and received,
service only when they specifically asked for it. Green was
unequivocal - white players and other white parties who
came in later were server sooner. (Managers Mitch Kauf-
man and John Anderson, both white, wholeheartedly agreed
with Green's story.)
"I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true," said Green. "They
didn't serve us until we asked them to. We waited for an
hour. This morning it was bad, too."
Phil Hubbard agreed with Green that the slow service could'
have been racially motivated.
Assistant coach Bill Frieder' dismissed the matter, say-
ing, "In all honesty I don't think it was intentional. Things
in the south are just slower. It was a coincidence."
Freshman Mark Lozier downplayed the situation. "The peo-
ple in the dining room were busy, but that (the racial aspect)
could probably have been in the back of their minds," he said.
"I guess they just expected us to go to the buffet," Alean
Hardy shrugged, "But there was no sign explaining that."

Staton said the service didn't upset him a great deal,
he never expected it. and had not run into similar
in the past.
"It was a little slow down there," said Staton. "We
didn't get the friendliest service, but I figure that is the
way they operate.
"The whites were served within five to ten minutes, while
we were still trying to get our orders in. I don't think they
were reacting to us as part of the teas, but as blacks. My
waitress wouldn't even look at me when she was taking my
order," said Staton. "She avoided me.
"They asked if we were going to leave a fifteen per cent
°ip. After service like that what can you say?" said Staton.
Rene Schiegg, the dining room manager, was made
aware of some of the complaints.
That's ridiculous," said Schiegg. "That's the first time
I've ever heard that here. Half of our crew is colored. I do
not call them black, I call them colored.
"It's always the one's who come first who are served
