First of all, she is a freshman starting on a varsity team. Secondly, she comes to the} University from a foreign country. . And with the season still young, Rat- nik, a native of Canada, has already established herself as an important part of the women's volleyball squad. "Diane is quite different," said head cpach Sandy Vong. "She dominates the net game. " Vong is quick to stress, however, that "4, volleyball team cannot have any s" because all the -players must ction within a system and not as in, 9ividuals. 'THE COACH explained that because af. his team concept, he had no "We have two groups of players," he commented. "One group who comes in with great talent, and one group whose technique is not quite where it should be." The latter group, he explained, develops after they arrive at Michigan.. He said Ratnik fell in the first group and was ready to play right away. Ratnik is one of four Canadian players on the team, joining Sue Rogers, Alison Noble, and Julie Stotesbury. Ratnik, along with sophomores Noble and Rogers, played on the Scarborough Titans Volleyball Club which won the Canadian national championships in 1980.. Vong explained how they were recruited. "In this case, they all played on the same team, and I know the coach," he said. "I know how he coaches and he teaches the fundamen- tals well." RATNIK SAID she came to Michigan because "I heard it was a good school academically." She added that the fact that Noble and Rogers were already at decision as well. Ratnik said that there is a difference between the style of volleyball played in the U.S. and that played in Canada. "I guess in the volleyball we (Canadians) Ratnik. "I think (the systems) are more advanced in Canada. There's more interest in it (volleyball) at an early age, in the high schools." As for the future, Ratnik is uncertain about her academic plans. "I's still un- decided about my major," said the LSA student. But on the volleyball court, Ratnik is decided about her future goals. "I want to try out for the Canadian Senior (National) Team in a few years," she said. As far as the present goes, the volleyball team has a big weekend of action coming up, with a match tonight against Schoolcraft Community College, and a big two-day, 12-team tournament at Michigan State on Friday and Saturday.

You might miss something good. It's halftime and time for the Michigan Marching Band show. Last week's performance during the Navy game featured theme songs from current adventure movies. The show was a big success and was one reason many fans didn't immediately head for the concession stands at half- time. Some of the themes featured were those of the Lone Ranger, Popeye, James Bond, Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Superman. BAND DIRECTOR Eric Becher and his assistants started working on the show this summer and kept improving it until the day of the game. Normally the band practices more than two hours a day, five days a week; first in sec- tionals, then as a group. But last week's unusual show required special preparation. "The past week we put in a lot of extra time preparing the props and practicing the routines for the various characters," said Becher. Becher, who has had seven years experience in the band as both a player and director, coordinates the shows with help from assistants John Stout, who wrote the arrangements for last Saturday's game and Guy Bordo, a former drum major for the band. Adding to the pagaentry of the game is the fanfare band, a group con- sisting of the top members of the brass section. The ensemble is selected by Becher and circles the inside of the stadium during the third quarter. This group, led by trumpet player Dan Meyers, plays to individual sections of the crowd. Everything from "Let's Go, Blue!" to the theme from the cartoon Bullwinkle is in the group's repertoire. In addition to playing for all of Michigan's home games, the band will also appear at one Detroit Lions game as well as the annual Bandarama. So the next time you get set to leave your seat, at halftime, remem- ber-Michigan's football team may be good, but the band also puts on quite a show. 0 0 0 The Office of Career Planning and Plecement PRESENTS Mr. Robert M.

Canadian spiker GOLF STAR LOOKS TO LAW SCHOOL NOT PROS: rillock shoots for studies first By RANDY BERGER In this age of academic probations and athletic scandals, it has become in- creasingly difficult to find someone who fits the label of student-athlete. But if you went looking on the Michigan golf course, you could find such a person in Wolverine golfer Linda Drillock. To Drillock, academics are more im- THURSDAY, OCT. 1 7;30 p.m. Coalition against The Family Protection Act MICHIGAN UNION Wekler Room Discussion of Legal, Social, and Political aspects of The Family Protection Act. portant than winning a tournament or making a hole-in-one. "Academics come first to me, golf second," she said. "My goal in life is to be an attorney, not to go on the pro tour." ALTHOUGH Drillock concentrates mainly on academics, it is obvious that she has not entirely neglected her golfing. The political science major is one of the top three players on the Michigan squad, and as a freshman played in the Lady Strohs Pro tour- nament as an amateur. "It (playing in the tournament) was a great experience for me. It was like being able to experience what a pro golfer goes through without being one," said Drillock. "It can be compared to a baseball player wanting to see what the pros are like and being able to pitch one night for the Yankees." Drillock fared quite well in the tour- nament, shooting 80 and 82. On the first day, she was only one over par after 13 holes and leading the other pros in her group before "falling apart." "The ex- citement was really in theair with all the big name players and people' treated me as if I was a pro player," said Drillock. DRILLOCK SAID that she never dreamed of playing in a pro tournament when she first picked up a golf club 14 years ago. "I lived in a small town and one of the few things there was to do was to play on the town course," she said. "Also, since the first tee was only 150 yards from my house, it was easy for me to start playing." Drillock didn't really start to play seriously until the age of 12, when she shot a 39 for nine holes. Soon after she started competing in tournaments, playing four times in the Michigan State Championships and twice qualifying for the state PGA Chevrolet Tournament.' "Only the winners of the state tour- nament could qualify for the nationals at Disney World and the first year I came in second and the second year I finished third," she said. DRILLOCK HAS had to share the good times with the bad in her golfing career. Being the only woman on her high school team had quite an effect on her game, she said. "The attitude toward me was quite cold. Guys don't get caught on the idea of being beaten by a girl," said Drillock. "Playing with just men had an effect on my game. couldn't hit the ball as far as they could, so I would try to hit the ball harder, which often times made me play wor- se." Drillock, who never competed again- st other women until she came to Michigan, sees an increased interest in women's golf. "There are more women junior tournaments which will mean more collegiate players," she said. Despite this, Drillock does not foresee Michigan ever becoming a national power in women's golf. "No matter how good the program is here, Michigan will never be a powerhouse simply because of the location," she said. "The weather is much colder than places like Oklahoma, Florida, or California, where all the powerhouses are." That, along with Michigan's rigorous academic requirements, help explain Drillock's feeling that golf comes second in her life. "In a way I'm cheating myself because I haven't per- formed as well," said Drillock. "My goals in life are centered around academics. If my priorities -were dif- ferent I know I would be playing much better." . p, 1 r---------- WRITE YOUR AD HERE! ----------- - - ----- --C-P-AD---DAi--- --- --- ... ..,.. mim .sm.
