scheduling of all sports events, Perry
said.
Canham indicated that the cost of air-
fare to Minneapolis automatically rules
out any possibility that Michigan will
play baseball, run track, or swim ver-
sus Minnesota.
Even the Michigan football
squad-which flew to every game ex-
cept Michigan State last fall-may be
forced to travel via bus to the fields of
its closer opponents such as Ohio State
and Notre Dame.
ALL NON-CONFERENCE trips for
minor sports outside the regional area
are likely to be axed as well. The only
trips that minor sports teams will make
in the future will be those in which ex-
penses are paid for by the opposing
school or invitational committee.
The cutbacks could also result in the
doubling-up of assistant coaches to
handle more than one sport. For exam-

ple, an assistant men's track coach
might be assigned to coach women's
track as well.
If such cuts are made, Men's Track
Coach Jack Harvey said he forsees dif-
ficulties in maintaining the present
quality of coaching.
IN ADDITION, all sports except for
football and basketball may be vice
timized by a 10 percent overall budget
cut. Harvey said he does not relish the
thought. "I think any cuts we make
from here on will hurt our program,"
he said. "I hope we'll at least be able to
maintain what we are doing now."
Another move Canham is considering
is a freeze on the salaries of athletic
department employees. He added,

however, that he is not considering
layoffs or dropping sports from the
program.
Perry indicated that the department
is trying to cut costs in other ways. "We
are trying to keep the built-in costs
(such as heating and electricity) under
control," he said.
Even Michigan's money-making
football team will have to pinch a few
pennies. Non-Big Ten games in future
scheduling will be played at home,
Canham said.
The University athletic department is
unique in that it receives no money
from the University. The department
supports itself almost entirely on
revenues from football tickets.

By JAMES THOMPSON
If you've ever wondered why
Michigan's men's and women's diving
teams are always outstanding, then one
thing to consider is the coach. Dick
Kimball, a 1959 graduate of Michigan,
has been the Wolverines' diving coach
for the past 22 years; and has coached
some of the best divers in the world.
Kimball, who started diving at the
age of ten, was a letterman at
Rochester (Minn.) High School while
still in seventh grade. During his
career, Kimball has traveled all over
the world coaching and presenting
diving programs.
Diving, in fact, seems to run in the
Kimball family. The coach's daughter,
Vicki, is currently a freshman member
of Michigan's diving team. Son Bruce, a
high school senior, was the youngest
diver ever to win a national title. He
plans on enrolling at Michigan next
year. Kimball's wife, Gail, is the diving
coach at Ann Arbor Pioneer High
School.
After reigning as the state champion
his last three years in high school,
Kimball came to Michigan where he
became the first Wolverine diver in 20

years to win a national cham

was a medalist in the 1960
games.

t

Guard John Arbeznik, co-captain of
the 1979 Michigan football team, was
one of nine free agents signed yester-
day by the New York Jets.
Arbeznik fought his way into the
Wolverine starting line-up ih 1977; his
sophomore year, and remained a key
player in the Wolverines' offensive at-
tack. Coming backfrom a knee injury
that had sidelined him for two games in
1978, Arbeznik culminated his college
football career by gaining first team
All-Big-Ten honors in his senior year.
After leaving Michigan, Arbeznik

was signed as a free agent by the New
Orleans Saints. Early reports in the
NFL emphasized Arbeznik's strength
and excellence in blocking technique.
Although pre-season forecasts had
the Jets near the top of the American
Football Conference, a disappointing 4-
12 record last season has directed their
attention to rebuilding.
In additon to Arbeznik, two of the
other eight players signed by the Jets
are from the Big Ten; running back
Mike Augustyniak and wide receiver
Mike Harris, both from Purdue.

Webster belt. The kind of belt is determined by

of mechanism allows the diver freedom
of movement and to correct mistakes
with fear that accompanies diving
directly off the board.
"This type of technique is not used all
over, but it's valuable because it builds
a conditioned reflex, making the dive
automatic," explained Kimball.
While currently preparing for the Big
Ten and NCAA Championships, Kim-
ball is looking for strong performances
from junior Ron Merriott, who hasn't
lost a meet this year, and Vigiletti.
From the women's team, Julie Bach-
man, who has won two national
collegiate titles, many Big Ten titles,
and several international trophies, is
the one to watch. Also worthy of atten-
tion is Vicki Kimball, who has won
three National Age Group titles and has
represented the U.S. on three inter-
national teams.
Although Kimball believes Merriott
is one of the five top performers in the
nation, he also thinks that Mark Mc-
