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.

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.

Prob- emtis with consistency troubled Pusztai Even though the match was close, we were in control of it. So it was a ,good day" - Brian Eisner 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. No.22 Peter Pusztai's undefeated Big Ten record took a hit from No. 90 Alberto Brause yesterday. But the men's tennis team bounced Michigan State, 5-2, for its fourth straight victory.

When should the Orientation be held? What timing would be most helpful to incoming V TIaj U-M Computer Showcase Thursday, April 18, 1-5 pm Michigan Union, ground level 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?

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.
