BENZINGER LIBRARY (East Quad, East University between Hill & Willard) THE PUBLIC IS CORDIALLY INVITED A Reception for Laurence Yep will follow the reading. The Residential Collge Writers-in-Residence Program is made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts 9 Friends of the Residential Colte..., The Pittsburgh Panthers found out yesterday that fat is not where it's at. The Panther's heavyweight wrestler, Steve Smocharski, tipped the scales at 425 pounds before Sunday's match with Michigan, but even that wasn't enough as Eric Klasson of the Wolverines defeated Smocharski when the big guy was disqualified for stalling. It seemed a very fitting finale to a superb performance by the Michigan grapplers, as they thoroughly humiliated Pitt, 46-0. "IT'S THE first time that any wrestling team that I have been associated with has won by a shut-out," remarked assistant coach Joe Wells. Perhaps the matmen were out to redeem themslves before the home crowd after being whipped by Michigan State, 26-7, last Friday night. "The guys wanted to show everyone that what happened at State should not have hap- pened,".said Wells. They obviously ac- complished that. The Blue matmen recorded two pins en route to the victory, as Bill Petoskey at 177 pounds took down Pitt's Jeff Wilps at 4:36, and at 190 pounds, where Steve Fraser of the Wolverines pinned Kurt Karanovich at 7:49. The blowout could be a very positive influence for the grapplers as they prepare for the upcoming Big Ten championships. -BUDDY MOREHOUSE Synch swimmers take tri-meet ' Michigan traveled to Bowling Green State University for a tri-meet, com- peting against Miami of Ohio and Bowling Green in routine competition. Michigan took first and second place in all events entered and finished with 57 points. Miami finished with 21 points, while Bowling Green finished last with 14 points. Anyone is welcome to come to the University of Michigan Invitational Synchronized swimming meet next week, February 16 at Margaret Bell Pool. Michigan will be hosting Ohio State, Iowa, Northwestern, Bowling Green, and Michigan State. Routine competition starts at 1:00 p.m. Tracksters triumph If women's track at the University of Michigan was mentioned among knowledgeable track buffs, the respon- se used to consist of derision and polite snikering. But after their recent suc- cesses, including last Saturday's triumph at the Central Michigan In- vitational, the women tracksters have transformed themselves, from a near non-entity into a team to be reckoned with in the Midwest. When the team points were totalled up last Saturday, the Wolverines had an easy 127-991/3 point victory over their nearest competitor, Central Michigan. "They did exceptionally well," noted Coach Ken Simmons of his small but potent squad. THE WOMEN scored in each event they entered, usually placing in the top three, as Catherine Sharpe paced the Wolverines with a superlative win in the 60-yard dash. Sharpe's time of 6.97 is one of the fastest in the country this year, and only 3/10 of a second off of the national record. Brenda Kazinec was a step behind in 7.0, an equally im- pressive time. Kazinec went on to win the 220 in 26.13 later in the meet. PITT 'HEAVIES' FLA TTENED: Wrestlers shutout Panth ers, 46-0 In the mile, Sue Frederick, in her fir- st attempt at this distance (she's usually an 880/800m. runner), sped to a 5:06 clocking, good for first place; teammate Julie Clifford followed in fif- th with a 5:24. Joanna Bullard qualified for the national championships in the high jump with a winning leap of 5'9". Sim- mons is convinced she can go "several inches higher." Another qualifying mark was achieved by Lorri Thornton with an 18'6" distance in the long jump, which won the event over the 17'7/4" mark registered by teammate Dede Key. MELAINE WEAVER was another national qualifier as she came up with a narrow victory in the two mile; her 10:45.6 was only 1.2 seconds ahead of Western Michigan's Darcy Tomlinson. The relays were dominated by Blue teams, as they took second in the 4x880 and first in the 4x440. The Wolverines lock horns with Central Michigan again (this time in a dual meet) on Friday at the Track and Tennis Building, 1:30 p.m. -JOHN FITZPATRICK Netters successful There was a feeling of confidence in the air at the Track and Tennis Building Monday afternoon. The Blue netters had returned from an eastern barrage of highly ranked intercollegiate tennis teams. If the National Indoor Keane Championship in Princeton showed anything, it was the ability of the net- ters to recover strongly from an initial Berkeley setback. "The big win was over the.Georgia Bulldogs Saturday night," stated player Mike Leach. "We were up for the match and gave a top performance. Our top four singles players won and all we needed was one double set to clinch the match." FIFTEENTH-ranked Michigan beat tenth-ranked Georgia 5-4. This was the final match of a three-day series. The championship opened with a loss to a powerful fourth-ranked Berkeley team but turned around to a decisive 7-2 vic- tory over twelfth-ranked Houston. "Our club is scrappy," Leach further states. "There are a lot of freshmen playing, but they're tenacious, hard workers. They've been playing out a lot of tie breakers. The winning of tie breakers makes a great team out of a good team. We lack in that we don't- play the top ten teams day in and day out. For instance, when we played Berkeley, we weren't used to that high a calibre of playing." The next meet will take place at home this Saturday evening at 7:30 p.m. as the Irish from Notre Dame roll into Ann Arbor for their annual pre-season clash. . "NOTRE DAME is a good tennis team. They're one of the few northern teams to win the NCAA's. But we're psyched to play them. It's a team event." -K.C. CHOTINER Trackmen strong in Relays If last Saturday's Spartan Relays are any indication of things to come, the Michigan men's track team should be in good shape as they point to the championship meets of the indoor season. "We did well in all the relays," said track coach Jack Harvey about the day in East Lansing. Michigan won the sprint medley in 3:25.7, and beat out Western Michigan for a victory in the mile relay for a time of 3:13.7. MICHIGAN'S Dan Heikkinen ran an 8:42.7 in the invitational two-mile race, which Harvey called "one of the fastest collegiate times in the country." Heikkinen took second to Herb Lindsay of the Chicago Track Club, who finished at 8:41.6. Other Wolverine standouts were James Ross, who sailed to victory in the long jump by covering 24'4 ", and Marshall Parks, who tied a school and meet record in the 60-yd. high hurdles. Parks shared a 7.2 clocking with Willie Gault of Tennessee, who won the event. In the 300-yd. run, Northwood In- stitute's Kevin Jones (30.3) edged out. Butch Woolfolk (30.6) to take first place. ABSENT FROM the meet was Michigan's star high jumper Mike Lat- tany. "But he'll jump this weekend," Harvey said, looking forward to the Central Collegiate Championships here in Ann Arbor. The upcoming meet is a key one for the team. "We're concerned with scoring meets," said Harvey, "and we have a good chance to win this one." Teams from Penn State, Michigan State, Western Michigan, and a dozen other schools will insure excellent com- petition, and Harvey expects to see some NCAA qualifying performances. Also, the Central Collegiate meet wil be similar in format to the Big Tens; and, Harvey says, "That's thle meet we're shooting for." Prelims for the weekend event start at 6:00 this Friday, and finals at noon on Saturday, in the track & tennis building. -CATHY LANDIS Tankers top Bucks. Saturday afternoon in Columbus, the Michigan men's swim team posted a convincing 76-36 victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes, The win improved Michigan's dual meet record to 5-1, and 4-1 against Big Ten teams. "With just Michigan State left on the (dual meet) schedule we're aiming for the Big Ten Meet in March," stated fir- st-year Michigan coach Bill Farley. "Our guys swam pretty well Saturday, though." ONE OF those "guys" was sophomore Tom Ernsting. Ernsting won the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of :59.607. All-American junior Fernando Canales (:51.521) teamed with- sophomore Scott Crowder (:51.787) and junior Tom Pederson (:61.961) in a strong 1-2-3 finish in the 100- butterfly. -JON MORELAND Out of the lue By Geoff Larcom lA Masters Degree in RADIATION PROTECTION at the University of Michigan O rprtunitIes Available for: i-Rnncial support for qualified graduate student ..*estarch in radiation dosimetry and radiation biology ) g-paying, interesting jobs in a growing profession in which the demand for graduates for exceeds the supply.

No politics It certainly appears safe to say that the prospect of American participa- tion in Moscow's Olympic extravaganza is all but extinct. The worth of an American Olympic boycott has been debated to the point of exhaustion, with strong legislative, media and public sentiment quickly aligning behind President Carter's policy. Suggestions from the United States' leadership for preserving this summer's competition in some form include switching the site of the 1980 games, or providing for an alternative games, in which nations siding with the American initiative would compete. Butsat this point the first course of action is unfeasible, the second largely unsatisfactory. As has been extensively noted, the Soviet government has dug deep into its pocket in an effort, to legitimize its system through a spectacular Olympiad. A switch of sites by the International Olympic Committee at this time would seem to constitute support of the American stand, while damaging the Soviets significantly. Of necessity IOC head Lord Killanin is maintaining his stand that the Olympics must not bend to political considerations, particularly to the extent the United States seeks to have them do so. The IOC thus states there will be a Moscow Olympics this summer or none at all. Meanwhile an alternate games could in no way compare in significance with the fourth-year Olympiad. A Games lacking either Russian or American athletes is essentially only half the conpetition it could be. As many athletes readily attest, a victory in an alternate games loses much of its luster. The honor of a gold medal is beautiful in its meaning and simplicity. It is the ultimate single tribute to individual athletic prowess. I frankly cannot see an alternate competition amounting to much more than a glorified version of the various competitions that dot weekend television. Furthermore, my guess is that our actions have put the 1984 Summer Games, slated for Los Angeles, in peril as well. It's difficult to envision future summer Games free from the type of political expression the United States is so dramatically and adamantly setting forth. Thus, the time is right to re-examine what the Games should stand for, to reevaluate their emphasis and staging. The argument that the Olympics are presently not above politics is valid. Yet the structure of past games has paved the way for the political monster to become the very dominant force it is today. The Olympics are the ideal stage for aggressive nationalistic hopes to be played out. From Hitler's Berlin in 1936 to the 1972 terrorist slaughter of Israeli athletes in Munich, we've seen this to be sadly true. Athletes are too often viewed as legitimizing agents of their country's system, not the individual talents that they are. They themselves compete not to aggrandize their country, but rather for the love of high-level competition and their sport. Such distinctions as "Eastern" and "Western" have little to do with an athlete's perception of what he is up against in an event. Yet each event's finish is succeeded by the emotional and superfluous playing of the winner's national anthem. Daily medal standings, comparing each nation's successes, dominate media Olympic coverage. American coverage of recent games has dwelt upon our own athletes, while skilled colorful competitors such as Cubans Teofilo Stevenson and Alberto Juantorena, along with Soviet sprinter Valery Borzov, have been largely ignored. For sheer survival's sake, the Games must now be de-politicized to some extent. The suggestion of a permanent, neutral site such as Greece, Sweden or Switzerland would, I think, solve much of the problem. The United States, itself contributing considerably, could seek the financing for permanent winter and summer facilities. Hopefully such an action would effectively undermine future efforts to turn the Olympics into a decidedly political event. The chief argument for a variation of sites is that it enables the athletes to see different lands and cultures first hand. The loophole here is that rarely does a person participate in more than two games, an exceptional athletic feat. Those who'd benefit primarily would be the media, the very affluent and permanent Olympic officials-not the athletes, for whom the ancient competition was created. The bottom line in the Olympics, what comprises their enormous and unique appeal for the athlete and spectator, is competition between the world's best. 0 09 The Ann Arbor Film Coopestive Presenis.at Aud.
