Machemer files suit
Michiga

Copyright 1981, The Michigan Daily
Kevin Machemer, Michigan's former
All-American and Olympic diving stan-
dout, filed suit in federal court against
the Big Ten and University of Michigan
lane Tuesday evening in an attempt to
regain his lost eligibility status and be
re-instated on the Michigan diving
team in time for the Big Ten and NCAA
diver sues Universit
championships in March.
The civil suit, to be heard tomorrow
morning at 9 a.m., seeks an injunction
for his reinstatement. The suit claims
that Machemer had-his rights of due
process violated and was a victim of a
conspiracy regarding anti-trust laws,
according to his attorney, Lynn Schec-
tor.
FOR THE PAST two years,
Machemer has been embroiled in a con-
a/
flict over Conference Rule 7, Section
4E1, which states that a student-athlete
who has accepted a scholarship from
one Big Ten school cannot receive any
form of scholarship from another con-
ference school.
Machemer had transferred from
Michigan State prior to the 1978-79
swimming season, and in accordance
with NCAA rules, sat out that cam-
paign. He then competed during 1979-
80, but was ruled ineligible for the 1980-
81 season just a week before the
Wolverines' first meet. -
Ironically, it was not Michigan's
diving team, but rather its computer
engineering program, that lured
randBig I
Machemer to Michigan. "He made a
decision to transfer school completely
free of any scholarship inducement.
Only after he transferred was he of-
fered a scholarship," Schector said.
"ALSO, THE UNIVERSITY didn't
tell him his rights. Instead, he was told
the rule was waived, and he relied on
the University's representation."
"We understand that the purpose of
the 'two-scholarship rule' was to
prevent one Big Ten school from in-
ducing an athlete from another school,"
Schector continued. "We see that only
the Big Ten has that rule, and in our
estimation, it's an attempt to stife com-
petition."
Fen over eligibility
Another allegation made in
Machemer's lawsuit is that of reverse
discrimination. The Big Ten regulation
that prohibits athletes from tran-
sferring while retaining their scholar-
ships applies only to males. This
stipulation, claims Schector, is a
violation of Title IX and constitutes
reverse discrimination.
Schector said, "This brings up one of
the most significant areas of litigation
in the world of sport - the control of
athletes by associations or
organizations, and the athlete's fate.
The conference makes rules which
determine what an athlete can and
cannot do, restricting an athlete's
choices."
WHEN CONTACTED by the Daily
last night, Machemer said he was
keeping his distance from the day-to-
day legal proceedings. "I just found out
a few hours ago myself about the
lawsuit," he said. "I'm just letting my
lawyers take care of it. I have too much
else to do. I've got to study for midter-
ms, work at putting myself through
school, and also keep in shape.
Hopefully, I'll find out more about the
case tomorrow."

RESrAURANr
The Stage Door is a restaurant for all
occasions. For the early morning
breakfaster and the late night theater-
goer, an inviting spot lies waiting be-
hind those famous mirrored windows.
Stage Door is truly where the stars
come out at night. Anyone who doubts
this seemingly empty statement can
catch a show of Hill some evening and
follow it up with a late desert, snack or
drink at Stage Door directly across the
street. Chances are you will be rubbing
shoulders with the performer you saw
on stage twenty minutes beforehand.
Stage Door provides an intimate at-
mosphere where everyone, star or not,
can curl up in a secluded booth and en-
joy an Apricot Lady or a Southern
Banana Comfort, as well as more con-
ventional spirits. A bottled Guiness
Stout or Andeker draft might be just
the thing to accompany your brimming
basket of Nachos or Deep Fried
Mushrooms. If these little niblets don't
tempt you and time is a factor, lean up
against the open bar for a Heineken
and some pretzels.
You may not be able to resist stop-
ping back at Stage Door for breakfast
the next morning. The usual fare of
eggs, hash browns, and bacon or
sausage is offered along with a quiche
that can't be topped.
Lunch also includes a mouth-
watering variety of quiches, from
Lorraine to Florentine (for all of you
vegetarians). A homemade soup of the
day and a selection of salads provide a
lighter side to the lunch menu. Choose
from cram-full pocket sandwiches (pita
bread filled with tossed garden greens,
vegetables and a sour cream dressing)
or a New York steak on garlic bread to
send you off more than satisfied to af-
ternoon classes.
The spicy Bell Pepper and Cheddar
Cheese (stuffed green peppers with
cheddar cheese, garnished with
tomatoes and sliced Bermuda onions)
starts dinner off with a bang. Follow
this hot concoction with the thick and
tasty New England Seafood Chowder.
With its huge chunks of shrimp and
potatoe, the stew-like chowder is
almost a meal in itself. Continue with
one of Stage Door's many traditional
entrees including Chicken Cordon Bleu,
Colorado Broil and Chopped Sirloin
Steak Parisienne. If salad is what you
crave, try the Chicken Salad Mozart-a
blend of chicken and walnuts with a
creamy honey dressing served on
orange slices and garnished with
banana nut bread.
The dinner is only a prerequisite for
what might be the most shamefully
irresistable array of deserts this side of
Ann Arbor. French Fried Ice Cream
may sound like a scientific im-
possibility but Stage Door has
managed to produce this creation in all
of its glory. Surrounded by a delicate
pastry shell, the ice-cream is deep
fried and drenched in chocolate, whip-
ped cream, pecans and a touch of
Fol
odforI
orange ' liqueur. For non-chocolate
lovers Stage Door offers a scrumptious
baked cheese cake garnished with
strawberries. It's all worth the few
ounces gained!
In addition to standard meals and af-
ter-theater specialties Stage Door
hosts a Happy Hour every Monday
through Friday, 4-6 p.m. Beer and wine
is offered at fifty cents a glass; drink-
of-the-day prices vary.
Even without happy hour discounts,
prices at Stage Door are reasonable.
Scrimping students shouldn't be scared
off by the sumptuous menu. With the
houg ht
continually rising cost of fast food, why
not opt for finer cuisine at a com-
parable price?
From the mirrored exterior to the
glossy decor The Stage Door presents a
smooth and polished act. Don't miss
it! -Breakfast hours: Monday-Satur-
day 7:00 a.m.-11-30 a.m., - Sunday
