indoor pool, and turning the current
Matt Mann Pool into an arena for
the women's volleyball team.
But male athletes, even in
minor sports, still have some
advantages at Michigan. The men's
tennis team, for example, gets first
dibs at the tennis courts.
"They get the better practice
time," said Reichert. "They practice
from two to four, and we have to
practice either before or after them."
Both tennis teams get to fly
south during Spring Break to open
their seasons. But while the men's
team gets a free ride, the women
have to generate most of the funds
themselves.
"We have what's called a
'Tennis-a-thon,' said Reichert. "We
play 24 hours straight. You play
two-hour shifts and you have
people pledge you. That money
goes toward our spring trip."
A comparison between field
hockey and baseball shows greater
differences. Besides holding a yearly
run-a-thon, the field hockey players
finance their five-day East Coast
trip by selling programs at
Michigan hockey games. Baseball
players sell programs at Michigan
football games, but the money
doesn't go to the team. Each player
pockets 20 cents for every program
he sells, and often takes home $50
a game, $300 a year.
Both teams have banquets at the
end of the year, but while the
baseball team's banquet is paid for,
the field hockey players must pay
about $7 a person. And while the
field hockey team doesn't get to
keep any free equipment, the
baseball team gets free mitts, which
are valued at about $100.
There are other subtle
differences, too. Women athletes
find it difficult to use the free
weights in the training room
because they were built for man-
size bodies. And if you want to get
picky, the varsity 'M's that the
women get for their letter jackets
are considerably'smaller than the
men's 'M's.
Although the 'M's aren't likely
to get bigger, the funds for women
are likely to increase-for a little
while, anyway.
"I'm not sure how much longer
(the sharp increase) is going to
continue," said DeCarolis. "I think
the growth would start to level off
and just be a set thing."
The big growth in women's
sports at Michigan and elsewhere
could be threatened. Athletic
Director Don Canham and NCAA
officials have said there might have
to be cutbacks in all sports because
the cost of athletic programs is
rising quickly.
There are legal challenges as
well. In a recent case, the U.S.
Supreme Court ruled that only
athletic programs receiving direct
federal aid are required to follow
Title IX. That could exclude large
athletic departments, since many
are self-supporting and receive no

Johnny Winter
3rd Degree
Alligator
Blistering guitar riffs cover
Johnny Winter's new album, a
dynamic collection of blues tunes.
Winter plays in the raw, sharp-
edged style of John Lee Hooker and
Robert Johnson but with a stormy
style all his own.
The foundation for the power and
enthusiasm of the album is created
by the two bands that back Winter.
The first consists of the musicians
Winter played with back in the
'60s: Tommy Shannon on bass and
Red Turner on drums. They play a
lively blues-rock rhythm on the
three songs they do with Winter,
which proves that after all this time
they still make an incredible team.
For the rest of the album, bassist
Johnny B. Gayden, drummer Casey
Jones, and pianist Ken Saydak
provide a standard blues beat on
which Winter builds his fiery
sound.
The album consists of nine
songs by such classic bluesmen as
Willie Dixon and Elmore James and
one original Winter song. All but
two of these are done in the electric
blues style that made Winter
famous. Winter's cover of Mem-
phis Willie Borum's "Bad Girl

Johnny Winter's
s gutsy guitarwork is
backed up by two
powerful bands.
Blues" and his own "Evil On My
Mind" are acoustic pieces done on a
National steel guitar. On both of
these Winter is unaccompanied
except for a second National, also
played by Winter. The National is a
traditional blues instrument which
gives a Mississippi Delta sound
that blends well with Winter's
growled vocals.
"Evil On My Mind" is a gutsy
song which gets its energy from the
hollowing of the National com-
bined with simple but effective
lyrics such as, "Your enemies can't
hurt you/ if you keep track of your
friends/ I say you better watch your
woman/ that's the one who'll do
you in."
On "Bad Girl Blues" the
National's metal twang creates a
rude Delta sound perfect for the
song's subject. The lyrics are a
lament of how discouraging les-
bianism is for a man, which is a
risky subject even for the blues.
"Love, Life and Money" is a
mournful electric blues number
about suffering, "Me and my
money parted/so did my love and I/
Life don't mean a thing/ and I wish
that I could die." In this song,
Winter uses a technique called
hammering on, normally more
common to rock guitar than blues.
It also features an extended solo,
backed with a piano solo, in which

Winter really shows what he can
do.
The band that backs Winter on
most of the songs is unremarkable
and nine out of ten of the songs are
covers. These are two places where
more originality could have been
applied. However, Winter's con-
sistently excellent guitarwork
makes this a great album of blues
guitar.

General Public
Hand to Mouth
I.R.S.
Former English Beat leaders
Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger
formed General Public back in 1984
after the demise of the former band.
This year's release, Hand to Mouth,
clearly follows in the footsteps of
The Beat.
The songs on this record are ska
based tunes which are reminiscent
of those of their earlier band, only
with a more polished pop sound to
them, especially on the tracks
"Come Again" and "Murder." "Love
Without the Fun" follows in a
similar vein, but the tempo is
slower and the lyrics more mel-
ancholic.
There is a bit of the Clash's
influence, especially on "Forward as
One," which mixes a reggae beat
with a powerful melody and
political lyrics, circa Sandanista.
This is not surprising, given former
Clash guitarist Mick Jones' con-
tribution to the first General Public
album.
General Public, like its
predecessor, concentrates on highly
danceable music with a wide variety
of instruments. Most of the songs
have a full, rich sound thanks to the
inclusion of brass arrangements,
saxophones, and backup singers. At
times, however, the effect is too
complex and busy, especially on
"Come Again," where the mixture
of instruments is overwhelming.
But the biggest problem with this
record is that most of the songs run
too long, including "Love Without
Fun" and "Too Much or Nothing."
But overall, this record is typical
of former Beat and General Public
material, and will probably be
appreciated by fans of both bands.
