Men's Volleyball vs. Notre Dame Tonight, 7 p.m. CCRB The Michigan Daily SPORTS Men's Basketball vs. Michigan State Saturday, 1 p.m. Crisler Arena Page 7 Adam Benson Wednesday, February 1, 1989 } Spicer adds a little Spepper to M lineup It is hard not to like a basketball player with a name like Leslie Spicer. It's the kind of name public relations people would create for a catchy new singer. Maybe someone who would compete with a Debbie Gibson or a Tiffany. But Spicer, who was'unheard of in her senior year at Albion High School, is more than just a flash-in-the-pan. As one of the starting forwards on the Michigan women's basketball team, Spicer averages 8.6 points per game and 3.4 rebounds. "Bud called me 'the sleeper' when I came to this University, because I wasn't heavily re- cruited by any other schools," Spicer said. "I didn't expect to start at a Big Ten school. Now, I'm getting a lot of playing time, I'm being called on to do a lot of things, and it feels good." MICHIGAN coach Bud VanDeWege said: "Leslie has so much quickness and energy out there that we look for her to create things defensively. She's a spark plug type of player." This season, Spicer has had to adjust to different conditions before almost every game. After starting most of last season, Spicer was' relegated to the bench when Lorca Feldman returned from academic ineligibility. VanDeWege thought about trying Spicer at guard, but when Feldman became ineligible again, the coach returned Spicer to her familar spot along the front line. Injuries and slumps by others have also affected Spicer's duties, but she never waivers when it comes to picking up the team. Spicer's enthusiasm may be her greatest asset. "At times, Leslie is just hyped, for no reason," forward Tanya Powell said. "I guess that rubs off on people. She has played with a lot of emotion this year." "Leslie is an exceptional person," VanDeWege said. NOWHERE is this more evident than in Spicer's hometown of Albion, where she returns to talk to teenage girls about her success, as well as how to avoid failure. In recent years, Spicer has counseled teenage girls in the Minority Prevention Program of the South Central Nichigan Substance Abuse Com- mission. The program's Executive Director, Har- ry Bonner, values Spicer's contributions. "Leslie is very instrumental in keeping young kids off of drugs in Albion," Bonner said. "Drugs are a potential problem for all kids in this community. When you have someone like Les- lie, who will come in and speak to them often, it is worth its weight in gold. "She is better for these kids than even the most famous celebrity, because she does come back. She is someone who cares about these people and Albion." Spicer added: "It discourages me to hear from girls who want to run in the fast lane and be wild. They'll have their eyes on you the whole time you talk, but it doesn't go through their heads. But I do care, and I will keep doing that." BUT BEFORE you give Spicer this year's Noble Peace Prize, don't forget that she is one of the most competitive, toughest players on the women's team. "Leslie's an excellent shooter and if you get her hyped up defensiviely, she'll do the job," said Powell, who is one of Spicer's closest friends off the court. Even after another solid season where she has had her role redefined before almost every game, Spicer expects to do more. "I should be scoring more, and I wish I could be more consistent. I'd like to make up for Lorea's loss, and play like I did against Ohio State (where she scored 18 points)," she said. If you go to a women's game at Crisler, not only will you be able to see Spicer play, but you might catch her singing the national anthem, like she did before a game last season. According to. those close to her, Spicer has a great voice. Maybe Debbie Gibson should learn a hook shot.

MUSICAL Tickets Continued from Page 1 currently contains between $12-13 in reserve, but does not want to have to use up that money. Those funds cannot be used for purposes other than paying athletes' tuition. "Without the ticket price increase, we will have to take $2 million from the ERF. At that rate we'll use up the fund in six years," Pollock said. : L == Estee Mermelstein, who is the student representative on the board, agrees that the price increase is necessary. "The increase is necessary to keep our programs going, but it was a difficult decision," she said. "We have to recognize what the athletic programs bring to Michigan, especially the spirit on a football Saturday. Jeez - We pay $25 for a concert ticket." At least some students don't seen to mind the increase. "It's pretty much worth it, so I'd say any increase in price is well spent. I mean we did win the Rose Bowl," first-year student Alex Cherin said. "It wouldn't hinder me from buying tickets." CUPID'S HELPER GreeV.
