By Richard Shin
Daily Sports Writer
The Michigan men's tennis team fin-
shmd off a successful three-match
1lotristand yesterday with a 5-2 win
iver conference rival Michigan State at
cty Sports Complex.
Michigan, which has won four in a
row, is 5-0 at home and 6-1 in the Big
Tin. With the win,the Wolverines move
ATYrst place in the conference and to
11-7 overall. Michigan State falls to 2-
5 in the Big Ten and 10-11 overall.
Michigan jumped out to an early 1-0
head by sweeping the doubles matches.
fheNo. 1 doubles team of Peter Pusztai
and John Costanzo led the charge for
e Wolverines, defeating .Danny
Wallih an and Chris Struck, 8-3.
Michigan's team of Geoff Prentice and
Arvid Swan broke Michigan State's
serve twice to post an 8-5 victory at
second doubles, while freshmen Jake
Raiion and William Farah won a close
match, 9-8, by dominating the
tiebreaker, 7-2.
"We always play very well at No. 1
and No. 2," Michigan coach Brian
sner said. "At three, (Raiton and
Farah) struggled a bit, but they won.
Every match, they are getting better."
The surprise of the day came at No. 1
singles, where No. 90 Alberto Brause
of Michigan State dealt Wolverine star
Peter Pusztai a rare loss at first singles,
7-5, 7-6 (9-7). The loss was the first for
No. 22 Pusztai in seven matches, and
his first Big Ten loss of the year.
"I didn't control the match today at
all," Pusztai said. "I let Brause dictate
match, and I let myself get frus-
trated."
The defeat dropped Pusztai to 32-11
overall and 14-1 in the Big Ten. Prob-
emtis with consistency troubled Pusztai
Even though the match was close,
we were in control of it. So it was a
,good day"

Michigan men's tennis coach
"Even though the match was close,
we werein control of it. So it was a
good day."
Michigan's top two doubles teams
have continued to perform consis-
tently, each winning four matches in a
row. Pusztai and Costanzo are 15-8
this season, while Swan and Prentice
are 17-6.
The Wolverines defend their win-
ning streak this weekend when they
travel to Indiana on March 13 and
Ohio State on March 14. At stake for
Michigan is the inside track toward
the top seed at the Big Ten champion-
ships in late April.
in the tiebreaker as Brause rallied from
a 5-2 deficit to clinch the match. Eisner
expressed littleconcern for Pusztai, who
has enjoyed success for most of the
season.
"Brause doesn't make too many silly
mistakes," Eisner said. "It'sjust hard to
keep playing at that level, and Peterj ust
couldn't quite maintain it today.
"Those things happen, and we're not
going to worry about it too much."
Michigan State also won the No. 5
singles match, where an ailing Geoff
Prentice dropped a 7-5, 6-4 decision to
Aaron Murray.
"Prentice, today, did not play well,
mainly because he's been sick," Eisner
said. "He hasn't been in there playing,
so his timing was off."
The rest of the lineup was healthy
and winning for Michigan, as the Wol-
verines' No. 2 Costanzo, No. 3 Swan,
No. 4 David Paradzik and No. 6 Will-
iam Farah each posted two-set victo-
ries.
"Fortunately, we are in a position
where we are a little bit better than
(Michigan State) is," Eisner said.

NEEDYOUR HELP!
HERE'S A CHANCE TO HELP
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Remember your first semester as a
graduate student?
Remember the hassles of settling in?
Registering for classes?
Finding housing?
Learning about the University campus
and its services?
Would you have really
appreciated a timely,
informative, and caring
orientation to the
University?
If your answer is YES!! to the above questions we
would like you to join in the planning of the first
Graduate School Orientation of the Rackham
Graduate School - and help make a difference for
the incoming Fall 1996 students.
We invite you to share with us your own experiences
in making the transitionto this campus and to offer
suggestions on how a Rackham-sponsored
orientation might ease it for new students.
The following questions are meant to serve as a guide
in preparing your responses but are by no means
haustive. If there is an area we are not touching
pon, please fill us in. Please be very candid. The
formation you provide will be handled with
the utmost confidentiality and will be used only for
e final planning of the Orientation.

rientation that some of you received through your
departments?
When should the Orientation be held?

We are considering asking current graduate students
to act as peer consultants during the Orientation.
This "consultancy" could take different forms. We
may set up student panels to discuss relevant topics.
We may also ask that current students act as a
network of "friends" whom new students can
contact for interpersonal support as well as
substantive information.
What do you think of the idea of peer consultants?
What topics should be discussed on a student panel?
Do you think a network of friends would be useful?
AND YES, WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN
PARTICIPATING AS A CONSULTANT IN
EITHER OR BOTH ROLES?
What kinds of interpersonal support from Rackham
and other University staff would be helpful?
What information about the Rackham building
would be useful to share?
What information about the city of Ann Arbor
would be helpful?
Are there other issues that we have not addressed?

INTRA-SEMESTER EVENT:
In the past, Rackham has hosted a
Graduate Convocation on the evening
before the first day of class. However,
that timing no longer fits the
University's academic calendar.
Nevertheless, we would still like to host
a social event for new graduate students
and the best time to seems to be after
they have had a chance to settle into
their new academic routines. What do
you think? Should we do this a couple
of weeks into the semester? What kind
