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 C 1986 Washingt lasting remir , a Dakin sty st plush and le. 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.

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 ON SALE! Wednesday lhni Doomsday on the Diag. . ON AE 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. -Paul Potasnik 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. -Pam Brougher I 111111111 662=31 CHRYsLER "A family tradi for over 36 yec $1000 or less '79 TC-3 79 CHEVETTE '79 VOLARE '78 FIREBIRD 26th A BIRTHE NOVEMBER An outrageous o to shop and save Christmas giving Four special day on every item in Most' Wednesday 9:30- Thursday 9:30- Friday 9:30- Saturday 9:30- A special event the bc WOMEN'S CLOT 1200 S.
