Michigan gets the season underway with a weekend series at Miami of Ohio, playing tonight and tomorrow night at Oxford, Ohio. WHATEVER THE results, these games should be very telling to those trying to figure out just how good this hockey team, which has finished ninth in the CCHA the past two years, can be this year. The improvement from last year might not be dramatic, at least not at first. Michigan only lost three players to graduation, but Berenson says that building this team into a winner is going to take time. "My fundamental premise this season will be improvement," said Berenson. "It'll be a day-to-day thing, then a week-to-week thing, and then a season-to-season thing. I'm hoping we can build this program into a national college hockey power. I.know a lot of other schools are hoping to do the same thing and say they can do the same thing, but I think we can do it." THE TURNAROUND won't happen overnight; it will take time. Make no mistake about it, though, the Michigan team that takes the ice tonight is far and away a different squad than the one that went 14-22-1 last year. More has changed than just a nameplate at the athletic office. Berenson has realigned the lines that played together last year. Very few of the players on the new lines have worked with each other in past years, so it may take a few games before they work together. The CCHA coaches' pre-season poll ranks Michigan seventh and Miami eighth in the nine team conference, which is fine with Berenson. "I LIKE TO be rated low," said Berenson, "but I still think it shows that some of the teams give us more respect than our ninth-place finish the past two seasons would indicate." Miami head coach Steve Cady also enjoys his team's low ranking. "I don't mind being picked down there because I like working from an underdog position," said Cady, whose team finished last season with a 13-24 mark. Miami is also a team with much to probe this year. The Redskins' key loss from last year is four-year veteran goaltender Alain Chevrier. Cady con- siders that void his biggest problem.

"As far as what to expect, I think it's impossible for any coach to say what will happen. The best I can say is be ready for the unexpec- ted."

"THE TEAM HAS made major positive steps this week in many areas," said the former NHL coach, who singled out the poor play, forechecking, and coming out of the zone as the most prominent areas of improvement.

Sororities seek new options (Continued from Page 1) A maximum of 100 women will be in- vited to join the sorority this weekend. Panhel 4is still exploriing sorority alternatives for those women who were not given bids. ONE OPTION is open rush, which b 'b'ns Oct. 14 after Sigma Kappa s had time to acquire new members. y sorority which did not meet its " ota," a number of pledges determined b .Panhel, is allowed to open rush. Qne sorority considering that option is Collegiate Sororois, which is seeking more members. One member, LSA sophomore Mellisa Herfurth said that the number of eomen not regeiving bids is not com- ple~ely caused by lack of room in existing sororities. Another option for women still looking for a sorority is Delta Phi Ep- siloh, which is being organized by a group of University women who are dissatisfied with the existing choices. LSA JUNIOR Janice Kramer and her roommates decided about two weeks ago to put four signs on campus to see if anyone was interested in star- ting- a new sorority. Since then, they have recieve 40 calls, Kramer said. "It sort of just came up. A lot of people don't get (invited to join sororities) - not necessarily because there's something wrong with them - but because there's not enough room in pledge classes." Kramer said the group chose Delta Phi Epsilon because it had a chapter on campus from 1954 until 1971. Its mem- bership declined drastically and the national authorities revoked its chap- ter. The sorority was housed at 1811 Washtenaw, which is now owned by Xanadu cooperative. Delta Phi Epsilon's first meeting is tonight and Kramer is quite optimistic. "We are very, very hopeful, I think with a lot of input, we could hope to get a charter by next semester." One problem, according to Norgren, is that Delta Phi Epsilon can not par- ticipate in formal rush next fall because Panhell has promised Sigma Kappa a full year of formal rush before any new houses are allowed to join. 10 -11b 7S IVA, W-A, ',0 I COME ONE, COME ALL TO THE TA YL OR - gomberg Homecoming Saturday, Oct. 13 at Island Park - 8:00 a.m. Visitors are invited to see ...
