4 Today's Michigan-Grand Valley State baseball doubleheader has been cancelled due to poor field conditions. SPORTS The Athletic Ticket Office will start taking 1983 football ticket orders on April 1. Page 10 Tuesday, March 29, 1983 The Michigan Daily Peg Harte quits hoopsters By PAUL HELGREN Michigan forward Peg Harte, who broke the women's basketball single season scoring record this past season, has quit the team and will attend Aquinas College next fall. "It's time for a change," the sophomore said. "I'm not happy here." HARTE, who will finish out the academic semester before transferring, informed head coach Gloria Soluk of her decision last Thursday. Soluk could still hardly believe the bad news when contacted yesterday af- ternoon. "We're hopeful that she won't do that," Soluk said. Later, when she realized Harte's departure was definite, Soluk said "we're gonna miss Peg." Harte is the eighth player to quit the women's basketball team in the last two and a half years. Harte said she had numerous reasons for quitting the team. Foremost was the team's poor performance this year (4-24). "IT WOULD BE different," said Harte, "if we were winning and winning the Big Ten (championship). I didn't like constantly losing. "And I didn't see any chance for im- provement. My 3freshman year coach (Soluk) said all we need are a few big players. Well, we got five freshmen over six feet. This year she said the same thing, we need a post player. But it's hard to keep working in freshmen. "Shoot, I'm gonna be a junior next year. I don't have that much time." HARTE also cited differences in coaching philosophy between Soluk and herself as having an effect on her decision. "My definition of a coach and her (Soluk's) definition are different," Harte said. "She's not a yeller. I think it's her nature to be that type of coach. "She thinks that players are old enough that they shouldn't have to be yelled at. To me being yelled at makes me work harder. I'm not putting her down. I just think that's the way she is." HARTE ADDED that part of the problem may be Soluk's close relationship with her players. "Coach Soluk and I are pretty close," the Brighton native said. "She's super nice. I can talk to her about my problems. "To me, as a coach...I think of her as a friend. I didn't feel comfortable with having her as a friend and a coach. A lot of players are close to her, closer than I am. A lot of people might take advantage of that." HARTE ALSO said that, as a school, Michigan was just "too large" for her. Though she realizes that she is giving up a lot by leaving Michigan she is sure she made the right choice. "You can't beat a U of M degree," said the, 5-10 forward, "and I know there's not a bet- ter school in Michigan. But this is something I have to do." Harte said that the teammates that she has talked to have been supportive of her decision. "I TALKED TO Terri (Soullier) and she thinks it's good for me. She thinks it's a good move. She knows I've been unhappy. By quitting the team Harte gives up the chance to be the greatest scorer in Michigan basketball history. Harte, who averaged 20.7 points a game this year, set the record for points as a freshman (552) in 1982 and set the all-time Michigan season scoring record this past season with 581 points. At this pace she would have broken Diane Dietz' career record of 2,076 points. Because Aquinas is a Division III school, Harte will only have to sit out five games next season before becoming eligible to play. That was a major reason she decided to attend a small school instead of another Division I institution. THESPORTINGVIEWS Bo's protecting Bo. . .t..not his players By MIKE BRADLEY NITED STATES Senator Arlen Specter has intro- duced a bill that would allow the NFL teams to band together as a monopoly and decide not to draft a college player until he has completed a minimum four years of college eligibility. These rumblings from Washington are very discon- certing. First of all, the NFL teams are individual economic entities. Al Davis proved that when he moved Oakland to Los Angeles against the wishes of the rest of the league. What is really unnverving is that Michigan coach Bo Schembechler, along with one of his cronies in the foot- ball coaching fraternity, has gone to our nation's capital to tell the country that collegiate football stars are too young and impressionable to play in the wild NFL. What Schembechler and his pals really want to see is security for their multi-million dollar programs. Un- der the current law, the superstar quarterback could, if he wanted to, leave school early to play for the NFL. For the superstar's university, or should I say his university's athletic department, this would mean a loss of television and bowl revenues. To make matters worse, Schembechler is cluttering up the pages of the nation's newspapers with'absurd quotes. "Cynics say -you're not dealing with a student- athlete," the Michigan mentor said, "That's hogwash that it's a professional game. We're not a minor league for pro ball." Way to go, Bo The only hogwash around here, Bo, is that people might take your opinions seriously. College football is a farm system for the pros. In order to play pro football, under the. new bill, it would be impossible to leave school early and enter the NFL. How could college football then be anything but a farm system? It would be the only supplier of talent for the pro leagues. Schembechler offered some more gems this past week. One of them concerned Herschel Walker and his lucrative USFL contract. "Walker wasn't worth $2 million coming out of high school. The University of Georgia did that for him and there's a certain obligation there," Bo announced. Simply put, Schembechler outdid himself here. How much money do you think Georgia made because of Mr. Walker? Obligation? Georgia should have paid Herschel each season. He brought it a national cham- pionship, he brought it three conference champion- ships and Sugar Bowlappearances, not to mention numerous national televison dates. If anything, Georgia owes everything that it made in the past three years to, what Schembechler would term, an under- classman who was not "physically and emotionally ready for the pros." If Specter's bill passes, it will be a dark day for college athletics. The enterprising athlete who wants to make a living before his final year of eligibility would be sentenced to remain in the monstrous college foot- ball machine for a four-year term. For coaches like Bo Schembechler, that would be heavenly. If only he could learn to think before he was quoted. I q 14 - m.. Minimum contact won't cut it e mini-soccer tournmnt The mini-soccer tournament is in full gear now with many first round matches having already been played. So far competition in all three divisions (Superstar, Com- petitive "A", Competitive "B") has been fierce and cut- throat. "Do or be done to," as one mini-soccer competitor said. "Some times I fear for my life out there" another player commented. "Some of these guys play as if their lives depen- ded on the outcome of the game." WELL, FOR some teams, this mini-soccer competition is just that serious. To win this tournament could mean a change in life style for some of the players. A fter all, some come from rather impoverished backgrounds where they were forced to live in the dark corridors of West Quad and to eat food that has been known to cause cancer in rats as well as humans. Keeping the importance of this tournament in mind, here are the rock-em, soccer-em results: SUPERSTAR In two first round games played last Sunday the O.L.S.C.'s beat the Midfielders, 5-3, and the Leafhoopers beat the Ace, 4-2. For the Leafhoppers it was an easy ride to victory as they outscored the Aces, 2-1, in both the first and second half. "WE'RE GOING all the way, man," said Leafhopoer Brian Pecheniak. "That's in soccer, I mean." In order to make it that far, the Leafhoppers will have to first contend with the O.L.S.C.'s in the second round of competition on Sunday, April 10. The O.L.S.C.'s jumped out to an early 1-0 lead over the Mid- fielders in the first half and held on until the second half. In the second half, though, things really started to heat up with both teams picking up their attack. When the dust cleared O.L.S.C. had outscored the Midfields, 4-3, and came out with a first round victory. COMPETITIVE "A" There were six games played and one not played in the Competition "A" division this weekend. In the game that never was, Sigma Chi was scheduled to face off against the Missing Persons. Ah, but at the set star- ting time of 8:00 p.m. Sunday there was something missing, and it wasn't persons. IN THE only no-show of the week the Missing Persons were awarded a first round victory over the forfeiting team from Sigma Chi. The reason given for Sigma Chi's forfeit, according to one team member, was that the team was allegedly unable to recover from its overnight pledge formal held in Chicago the previous evening. It is rumored that many team mem- bers broke training during the fraternity escapade impairing both reflexes and sight. In real action Los Hurraches blew out Clockwork Orange, 8-1. The Oranges didn't have a chance as Los Hurraches jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first half and added four more in the second. THE INFAMOUS Gumbimen scored two quick goals in the first half over the Strikers and, ended the scoring at a final of 2-0. The Kamel Jocks are high on the hump as they advanced their way into the second round with a 6-2 victory over Minimum Contact. Minimum Contact was outscored, 3-1, in each half. Apparently the Contact's weren't physical enough to handle the Jocks. In two more games, the Phantom Torpedoes blasted the Latin Force 6-1 and Baytar took it to Missiam Latina 2-1. COMPETITIVE "B" In Class "B" competition four teams advanced into the second round. Here are the final scores the way they made it into the record books: #136 5, P. Tilde Gold 3; Wolverine Express 5, Law Gold 4; The Rage 2, Gomberg "A" 0; PSFC 3, Lewis Mixers 0. The IM Roundup relates the activities of the Michigan intramural program.

By KATIE BLACKWELL Entering the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships held over the weekend, the Michigan men's swim team was rated 16th in the nation. Thanks to the All-America performan- A -OK "ENERGY SAVINGS IN RENTAL HOUSING" VOTE YES APRIL 4 Paid by Sport Guides 415 Detroit Street ces of divers Kent Ferguson and Bruce Kimball, the Wolverine tankers came out of the meet in the same position. Ferguson and Kimball were the only Wolverines able to score points in the meet. In the one-meter event, Ferguson captured eighth place and Kimball followed right on his heels to take ninth. Roles were reversed for the three meter as Kimball was sixth with a score of 540.25, and Ferguson was seventh with 539.35. "I WAS REALLY happy with my per- formances," said Ferguson. "I had a good meet overall." Michigan's next best performance came from the team of Bruce Gemmell, Mark Noetzel, Kirstan Vandersluis and Benoit Clement as it finished 13th in the 800 yard Freestyle relay. Freshman Lance Schroeder made his mark at the NCAAs by placing 15th in the 200-yard butterfly (1:47.70). IN CLOSING out his collegiate career, Captain Gemmell had a disap- pointing meet. He finished'24th in the 400-yard Individual medlay, 26th in the 200-yard Backstroke and 30th in the 200- yard individual medlay. "Bruce didn't have a good meet, or a good year championship-wise," said coach Jon Urbanchek. "But in one four- year period he did great things for Michigan." The bright point about the final out- come of the meet is that the Wolverines beat Big Ten champion, Indiana and runner-up Iowa. Beckwith competes at Regionals Michigan woman gymnast Kathy Beckwith travelled to Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois last weekend for the NCAA regional com- petition. Wolverine tumbler Beckwith, the only member of her team to qualify for the regionals, finished tenth in the all- around with a score of 35.2. Beckwith also came in fifth place on the balance beam with a score of 8.90. Neither score was good enough to advance Beckwith to the NCAA championships. "It was Kathy's best meet ever. She was very aggressive and stayed on all' the equipment," said Michigan coach Sheri Hyatt. "She had a super, super meet." Copp named swim captain The season is over, and although un- defeated in dual meets, the Michigan women's swim team is already looking to next year. A vote of swimmers, divers and coaches yesterday, saw junior Melinda Copp elected captain for the 1983-84 season. "I'm really happy and honored," said the London Ontario native. "The main goal for a captain is to bring the team closer, and more goal oriented in order to reach the goals we set for ourselves." COPP FEELS that her experience in international competition will help her in her new role. She has made the Canadian National team and will com- pete at the World University games in Edmonton in early July. "Melinda leads by example as well as by words," said head coach Stu Isaac. I'm very pleased with her selection." -KATIE BLACKWELL BASEBALL at Miami of Ohio, (DH), April 1-21 p.m. MEN'S TENNIS WISCONSIN, April 1, 2:30 p.m. MINNESOTA, April 2,1 p.m. WOMEN'S TENNIS PURDUE, April 3,10 a.m. SOFTBALL at Minnesota April 2-3 MEN'S GOLF at Colonel Classic, Richmond, KY Why Candy For Easter? Kilwin's Candies of 107 E. Liberty in Ann Arbor will be celebrating the principal feast of all Christendom and a time of universal rejoicing on this Easter Sunday, April 3. The history of Easter is fascinating. It goes as far back as written history goes. Even before Christianity evolved there was a corresponding pagan celebration, usually based on the coming of Spring. The early Greeks had such a festival, as did the later Romans. The name of Easter is taken from the Norse Goddess of Spring, Eostre. The egg has been, for ages past, a- symbol of rebirth. Christians see, in the chick breaking forth from the shell, a symbol of Christ emerging from the tomb. These eggs were colored for the Spring flowers. Early Christians colored such eggs red, in com- memoration of the blood of Christ. The Easter candy eggs grew out of this tradition. Chicks and chickens followed quite naturally and the rabbit was a symbol of the fertility associated with Spring. Eggs were exchanged as symbols of peace and as an Easter greeting as far back as ancient Egypt. The Jews held the paschal eggs as part of their Passover.
