NEWS The Michigan Daily - Friday, February 3, 2006 - 7 DRUCHNIAK Continued from page 1 told me the price, then he ran all the way back," Ochoa said. Friends remembered how Druchni- ak's competitiveness and his passion for Michigan football was exemplified when he took off his pants and put them on backward to create "rally pants" at 2004's game against Michigan State. Michigan rallied late in the game to win 45-37 in triple overtime. Druchniak also participated in var- ious plays on campus. "He was always so nice and genu- ine and just generally a good person to be around," said LSA sophomore Jennifer Chiles, who worked with Druchniak in two campus plays. Friends said Druchniak had an innate sense of creativity and a unique way of viewing the world. "Although our time with Jeff was far too short, he has left us with a very full and rich memory of laughter, karaoke, Michigan football games, and pushing all our abilities in and out of the classroom," Rosenfeld said. Druchniak's friends urged those who are depressed or contemplating suicide to seek help from support systems. Ochoa said people would be surprised by who is there to support them, even if they don't think anyone cares. ALUM Continued from page 1 "Basketball was a loser' he said. But when the men's team turned its season around and made it to the Final Four, Rich had secured a piece of the broadcasting market for the University. Schools like Ohio State University paid him $25 to air his broadcast. Although he had received great attention for his basketball broadcasts, Rich realized he didn't want to broadcast the rest of his life. "Instead, I was very interested in the behind-the-scenes networking;' he said. "I decided I might want to produce and direct." By 1948, Rich had finished a double bachelor's degree in Speech and English as well as a master's degree in English. After dismissing the options the state of Michigan offered in directing and producing, he headed back to Rockaway Beach to find a job. After nine months of scraping by without any luck in the job market, he joined with another University alum and started a radio show. The show, called "Wanted," profiled a different criminal-at- large every episode and was picked up by NBC radio. Based primarily on interviews with various citizens about their connections with the criminals, "Wanted" helped the police nab three people in its first thirteen weeks and even attracted the attention of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. NBC wanted to move the show off radio and onto television, but Rich refused. "I said no thanks," Rich said. "Even with the radio show, I came too close to being rubbed out by gangsters." Instead, he still hoped to become a director. Beginning his climb up the film industry's pecking order, he snagged a job as a stage manager for NBC. "Within one year I had been asked to go out to the West Coast and train other stage managers," he said. His big break came when Rich was an associate director for a musical. The director got sick, and Rich stepped in for him and impressed the producers enough that they offered him his own show to direct. "It was the classic story of how a star is born," he said with a chuckle. From there, Rich built a reputation as a dedicated director known for demanding isolated rehearsal time with just the actors and himself. "I love rehearsing with good actors," said Rich, who never allowed an audience to watch the rehearsals. Once, he even turned away the daughter of the president of ABC News. "I wanted the actors to grow, not perform," he said. "I wanted them to find more truth in (the script)," says Rich. Though he claims to love every project he has done, his favorite ones are all television serieses. "I didn't like the slow pace of filming (movies)," he said. Even if it seems like directing is a long way from his English major days, Rich doesn't see it that way. "A degree in English is a valuable tool for a director to help actors understand what you want," he said. "It's a communication business." Even today, Rich is still a zealous supporter of the institution that gave him his academic foundation. Rich and his wife fund a year-long fellowship for a professor through the Institute for the Humanities. He has also supported various undergraduate merit scholarships. "It's the most wonderful feeling to give back to the University that changed my life," Rich said. RITT Continued from page 1 when she told her players about the move, and attributed much of her players' reac- tions to the timing of the announcement. Ritt will not step into her new post until June 1, but executive associate athletic director Michael Stevenson and others in the department decided that the time was right to announce their choice. "We had spent almost a year in the search for this position," Stevenson said. Stevenson said more than 130 candi- dates applied for the job, which became vacant more than two years ago when Megan Mccallister moved from the athletic department to marketing. In the interim, Stevenson filled the role of monitoring all non-revenue sports (var- sity sports except for football, hockey and men's basketball). Ritt was a perfect fit because she has a deep understanding of the athletic and academic culture, Stevenson said. Along with her responsibilities for the 22 Olympic sports, Ritt will become Michigan's representative on the Big Ten Sports Management Council. The council hears suggestions from the conference's coaches regarding poten- tial changes to rules, regulations and scheduling. One of the first tasks Ritt will under- take will be the hiring of her replace- ment, and although she hasn't had any contact with potential coaches, Ritt con- fesses that she has a working list in her head. "I know the tennis community very well,' the coach said. "I've coached for a long time. I know my colleagues very well. I know their styles." There is certainly a lot for Ritt to think about and look forward to in her new job, but she still has a full dual- meet season to complete with her team. Ritt is not in the least concerned about losing focus on this season. CORPS Continued from page 1 the local Peace Corps recruitment office to talk with prospective volunteers and offer financial support. The University has a history of support for the Peace Corps. After Kennedy proposed the idea, students from the group Americans Committed to World Responsibility collect- ed 1,000 signatures on a petition demanding implementation of a Peace Corps program. Less than one month after - receiving their petition, Kennedy signed an executive order establishing the Peace Corps. the michigan daily GREAT LOCATION, GREAT value. 2 apt. units avail. at Church & Willard. 2 min. walk to Diag. 5 bdrm.
