No lights The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, March 26, 1985-- Page 11 l 'i Judge pulls plug on 'night lights' CHICAGO (AP) - There will be joy in Wrigleyville, the mighty Cubs have struck out. ' "Yes, you're out. O-U-T. The Cubs .are out," Circuit Judge Richard Curry said Monday in upholding state and city laws that effectively ban night baseball at Wrigley Field, America's only major-league ballpark without lights. CURRY'S RULING came in response to a suit filed by the Cubs in December seeking to have those laws declared un constitutional. The judge's ruling interspersed lyrics 'rom the song "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" and concluded on a light yhearted note: "Justice is a southpaw and the Cubs just don't hit lefties!" But it looks like this cutest will go in to extra innings: The Cubs' attorney: filed a notice of appeal with the Illinoi: Appellate Court. GENERAL MANAGER Dallas Greer said in Mesa, Ariz., where the Cubs are in spring training, that he was "very very disappointed" with the ruling. While he made no reference t< _ rumors that the Cubs would move fron Wrigley Field if they couldn't get lights he said, "We consider this very, very serious business." "It means peace and tranquility" foi the community, said Alderman Ber nard Hansen, whose ward includes par of the area around the 71-year-olh ballpark. MANY RESIDENTS argued nigh = pgames would exacerbate existing troubles like litter, noise, traffic and a shortage of parking spaces. "No one can seriously suggest... tha the influx of 37,000 visitors into residential community at night is no quantitively different than those same numbers during the. daylight hours,' Arizona St. 5coach may qit over players drug use Curry said in a 64-page ruling. The judge said the Cubs offered no 'correlation between daytime television and nighttime television revenue potential." A LETTER FROM Peter Ueberroth, baseball commissioner, to the Cubs last December figured prominently in the lawsuit. In that . letter, Ueberroth said baseball would take "drastic action" unless the team resolved the problem of night baseball at Wrigley Field. Ueberroth's letter did not specify lights as the only solution, but noted television revenue lost because night games cannot be played at Wrigley could result in the Cubs' future home playoff dates being shifted elsewhere. The state law subjects stadiums to strict noise pollution standards 'that are monitored by the Illinois Pollution Con- at Wrigley trol Board. Chicago's two other large stadiums are exempt because both held night contests before the law was passed. The city ordinance prohibits professional sporting contests between the hours of 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. in open stadiums containing more than 15,000 seats that are located within 500 feet of 100 or more dwellings.

(AP)-Arizona State University baseball coach Jim Brock, who sidelined himself in distress over his role in player use of a poten- tially dangerous mood-altering drug, says he'll decide by today whether to T give up his job. Brock, who has been head coach at Arizona State since 1972, chose to watch from the stands Sunday as Arizona State beat Southern California. HE BLAMED anxiety that was caused by recent articles about the use of Nardil by some of his players. "I felt that in the emotional state I was in, that I would have been a detriment to the ballclub," Brock said. "I wouldn't play a players who was so upset-that he couldn'tperform well and I didn't think a coach should coach un- der those circumstances." Reports published last week said Dr. James Gough prescribed the drug, a hydrazine derivative manufactured by Parke-Davis Co., for two Arizona State baseball players and suggested it to six others. BROCK, WHO said that until two years ago he had used the drug under prescription while being counseled by Gough for depression, also has said it has been used in other Arizona State althletic programs. Dr. Robert Voy, chief medical officer of the U.S. Olympic Committee, described Nardil as a "very, very dangerous drug" to be used in cases of depression only when every other drug has been tried Gough, who said he prescribed Nardil for players to help them feel better about themselves and thus improve performance, said earlier he considers it to be safe. He also said that in prescribing it, he warns about potential side effects that can occur in com- bination with consumption of certain food or over the counter medications. Parke-Davis and some physicians have been quoted saying that the drug generally is given as a last resort to people suffering severe neurotic depression.
