"The majority (of girls) have been (working) on putting, up-and-downs, and some girls have worked on ball striking," Michigan coach Kathy Teichdrt said. Junior Courtney Reno said that everyone has worked individually on the weakest parts of their games. A >rding to Reno, for her that has been her up-and-downs and her sand game. T ichert added that another key to success this weekend will be "not wor- rying about the uncontrollable," such as the weather and how the other teams in the field play. The tournament will host 15 NCAA Central Regional teams including six of the top 35 teams in the country. J's an extremely competitive field," Teichert said. - Jim Weber 'M' looks to redeem itself this weekend After losing the national title last year toPenn State by .125 of a point, Michi- ga men's gymnastics gets the chance ftvenge this weekend when it travels to Columbus for the NCAA champi- onhship.

C. last weekend to arrive in a snow-blown Ann Arbor, they thought it was a great April Fool's trick* But this weekend the Wolverines will have to leave the sun and warmth of Ann Arbor and go back to N.C. to compete in the Duke Invitational. Last weekend's Raleigh Relays was the second outdoor meet for the sprint- ers and marked the start of the, outdoor s n for the rest of the team. "It appears that we're over the hump," Michigan coach Ron Warhurst said. "As it starts getting warmer, we can start getting our stuff going pretty good." Warhurst took his team to Durham last year to run in the non-scoring meet, but only the sprinters and field event at tes will travel this trip. tnior hurdler and sprinter Derek Applewhite, who injured a tendon behind his knee at the first outdoor meet in San Diego just over two weeks ago, might compete in the mile relay, Warhurst said. .unior sprinter Ike Okenwa will BRENDAN O'DONNELL/Daily The Michigan water polo team has exceeded expectations this year and it appears that the team will accomplish its preseason goal of qualifying for the NCAA Touma- Work and live side by side Israelis Earn college credit for study abroad Programs include kosher room and board The moon.

For centuries, our monthly cycle has mirrored the moon's. Now, for the first time, there's birth control that's monthly, not daily: new Lunelle. An injectable that's 99% effective without the daily hassle. Lune/le is a combo of hormones that works continuously-all month long. Given on time each month by your doctor, prescription Lunel/e gives you birth control that's 99% effective. That means you get monthly pregnancy protection without the daily hassle-without the daily worry-of taking the Pill. And if you want to get pregnant? Most women get back to ovulating about two to three months after receiving their last injection. Lunelle doesn't protect against HIV/AIDS or other sexually transmitted diseases. Hormonal birth control isn't for everyone. Pregnant women or women with blood clots, chest pain, certain cancers, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or a history of liver disease, stroke, or heart attacks shouldn't take Lunelle. Serious risks that can be life threatening include blood clots, stroke, and heart attack. And hey, no smoking! It increases these risks, especially if you're over 35 and smoke 15 or more cigarettes a day. During the first few months of taking Lunelle, most women have a change in their periods, which may include no bleeding, irregular bleeding, or spotting. This change may continue with use in up to one third of women. In studies, while some women lost weight on Lunelle, the average change was an increase of 4 pounds in the first year. But you should know, some women gained 10 or more pounds in the first year. So ask your healthcare professional about new Lunelle. Why worry about taking a daily Pill when there's monthly Lunelle? Birth control inspired by the moon.
