Page 10-Thursday, February 19, 1981-The Michigan Daily Machemer files suit Michiga By STEVE SCHAUMBERGER 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."

T-- , 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?
