The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, September 23, 1980--Page 9 Fitness course inaugurated By BRUCE NEARY and MARY VALENTI Perrier water and exercise. Two of America's more noticeable trends are com- bined in the Parcourse Fitness Circuit inauguration yesterday on North Campus. The Perrier company, which had provided the course construction materials, supplied the refreshments for the opening run yesterday, but left the exercising up to the campus athletes. Just take a shot of Perrier and you'll be ready to sprint down the track," ex- lained Mike Stevenson of the University Athletic Department. Arraanged around North Campus, the year-round, cross-country course includes designated stops for stretching, working out, and cooling down along a 2.6 mile walking circuit. A group of twenty or thirty athletes, including course designers Ken Wanty and Dave Kubany, followed Parcourse representative Kathy Copeland through the cir- cuit. According to Assistant Director of Recreational Sports Ellen Gold, the Parcour- se "combines cardiovascular fitness with flexibility and strength, and is thus an overall fitness program." At each of the 18 fitness stations, a marker describes the exercise and sets a "par" for each of three fitness levels. The par is the recommended number of times a "starter," "sportsman," or "champion" should perform the designated exercise. The course is designed so that even an inexperienced athlete can start an exer- cise routine safely. All of the participants yesterday managed to complete the course and appeared to enjoy themselves. No one had a chance Ao get thoroughly tired since the large group stopped for explanations at each exercise station. Cooling down afterwards with a bottle of Perrier, University student Karl Huggins commented, "They make great courses, but they make terrible water." The University course is one of 100 Parcourses sponsored by the manufacturer of Perrier water. Copeland, who flew to Ann Arbor from San Francisco to launch the new course, said the course was donated to the University because of the "high evel of participation in recreational sports" here. The Ohio State University Parcourse attracts 6000 students a day, said Copeland, directing a challenge to the Wolverine students trying out the course. University Athletic Director Don Canham helped kick off the trial run, but declined to run the course. He did share the sparkling water with the participants, "It's just like soda, it's good if you're thirsty.' t , e a10 at cay de-mands halt pfracist statem-ents Kemp gains honors NEW YORK (AP)-Outfielders Steve Kemp of the Detroit Tigers and Al Oliver of the Texas Rangers have been named co-winners of the American League Player of the Week award for the period ending Sept. 21, it was an- nounced yesterday.

MINMU KUHN OVERRULED: Jenkins reinstated TAMPA, Fla. (AP)-Coach John McKay, feeling his houng quarterback receives unjust criticism, said yester- day it's time that third-year pro Doug Williams is judged on his performance, not on his color. The description of Williams as a "black quarterback" rankles- McKay, who says he detects racial overtones what place unfair pressure on his quar-' terback. "THERE'S CERTAIN people in this country determined to continue to call him a black quarterback-'Can a black quarterback make it?-and in my opinion, I think they're inferring in- telligence and they use his gram- matical mistakes to heighten that, and I think that is poor," McKay said. Club spokesman Bob Best said *ewspapers in other National Football League cities usually focus on whether a black quarterback can succeed, with apparent implications that a black quarterback can more easily be out- smarted by defenses. "In Dallas, there was an article. saying the defensive secondary was going to try to switch things to 'confuse' Williams," Best said. "THE PROOF OF the pudding is in the eating. He took us to the champion- ship last year and he had one of his best games-over 300 yards-against the mighty Dallas Cowboys Sunday," McKay said. The issue surfaced when writers criticized Williams' performance after the Bucs bowed to Dallas 28-17. McKay said after the game: "I thought Doug played well. He had quite a few drops by receivers. So that gives you sports writers another chance to say what a poor quarterback and passer he is. It'll just give another racist a chance to say that Doug's not a good quarterback, and I'm getting sick and tired of it." "Doug Williams is a young quarter- back. He's not a 'black quarterback.' If he is a 'black quarterback,' David Lewis is a 'black linebacker,' and O.J. Simpson is a 'black running back.' It's time people grew up. Every time I read something, it's 'black quarterback."' NEW YORK (AP)-Baseball's per- manent arbitrator, law professor Raymond Goetz; restored pitcher Ferguson Jenkins to active duty with the Texas Rangers yesterday, rever- sing the suspension imposed two weeks ago by Commissioner Bowie Kuhn. It was the first time that an action of the commissioner has been overturned by an arbitrator. AFTER RECEIVING word of the decision, Texas club spokesman Burt Hawkins said Jenkins left immediately to join the Rangers in Minnesota where he will pitch in the series against the Twins. Jenkins had been sent to the sidelines by ,Kuhn on Sept. 8 after the pitcher refused to answer any questions from the commissioner's security staff following his drug-related arrest in Toronto two weeks earlier. The pitcher was detained at the Toronto airport when small amounts of cocaine, marijuana and hashish were found in a routine check of his luggage on the Rangers' last trip to Canada, Aug.24. A court hearing on the case is scheduled for mid-becember. Jenkins was yanked from a scheduled start in Toronto Aug. 25 but then was returned to the Rangers' regular rotation and made two starts for Texas. Meanwhile, Kuhn summoned him for a hearing in New York where he was ;questioned about the drug matter. He remained silent on the advice of his at- torney and, shortly after that, Kuhn or- dered the suspension. "THERE WAS NO way I could an-. swer those questions without prejudicing myself, or giving them the players' names they wanted," Jenkins said. "What this decision says," said Ed Greenspan, Jenkins' attorney, "is it suggests to Mr. Kuhn that he has great power but that power must be tempered by fairness and decency and reasonableness. He can not exercise that power arbitrarily." Kuhn disagreed. "In my judgment, the arbitrator's decision regarding Ferguson Jenkins is wrong," he said. "It does a grave disservice not only to those of us in sports administration, but to concerned parents and citizens everywhere." ayow . penyour'- cdk.o\I up youo- S5eeVe. 1\'1h 1e y \/ e d Yu'lprovi de a, ?eciohu man Yesoor-ce (pama--he- y 'ou- lod'zcetL. h Za kt of sftd\/ingdonxe- An,~ S -- ti, YA' lSm. or ' 5 Fn ut-;j, (, t L -' 4-/ GET PAID TO STUDY PLASMA PLAN: I 1-i X2 5 o C1 Iooci/ r-h ccif wrt hdo ;u i i,aj ' > Upon )/cu.r {=.s f onahor? 36 1 Expires May 1, 1981 (V Enclose 25* more per roll for special handling and 1st class return. -I Enclose this ad with order M 41, 3i"rg n 1*~ Student Newspaper at The University of Michigan * _-------_-- WRITE YOUR AD HERE! ------m----. ------------CLIP AND MALlTODAY!--------- -Ii USE THIS HANDY CHART TO QUICKLY ARRIVE AT AD COST SWords 1 2 3 4 5 add. 0-14 1.70 3.40 4.60 5.80 7.00 1.00 Please indicate 15-21 2.55 5.10 6.90 8.70 10.50 1.50 w+here this ud is to run: 22-28 3.40 6.80 9.20 11.60 14.00 2.00 for rent 29-35 4.25 8.50 11.50 14.50 17.50 2.50 forsaled 36-42 5.10 10.20 13.80 17.40 21.00 3.00 *omae personal 43-49 6.80 11.90 16.10 20.30 24.50 3.50 ec 7 words per line (Each line of space used counts as 7 words).
