Cloudy with a chance of showers. High 45. Rain turning to snow tonight. Vol.VI, No. 80 THE OBSER notre dame - st. mary's Thursday, February 17, 1972 Budget report SMC shows large surplus for preceding fiscal year by A. T. Darin Bucking a national trend toward deficit budgets for universities and colleges, St. Mary’s College has announced a surplus of $694,000 for the fiscal year ending Aug. 31, 1971. The surplus, a surprising contrast from the previous year’s $2,000 gain, was accomplished “without eliminating any expenditures from academic instructional, academic ad ministrative or student service areas,” ex plained Jason D. Lindower, director of financial management. "Everyone at St. Mary’s has worked hard and sacrificed. While we didn’t need to eliminate any offices, plant management and maid service were hardest hit areas saving us $100,000,” the certified public accountant noted. For the same period, Rev. Jerome J. Wilson, Notre Dame business affairs vice-president, reported a $72,000 surplus. This year he an ticipates a $750,000 deficit. surprising contrast Operating margin included gifts and con tributions from the Sisters of the Holy Cross totaling $159,000, in addition to $146,000 of contributed services from on-campus religious. This donation accounts for $305,000 of the extra funds. However, in the financial statement which I,indower compiled to accompany the release, $3 million remains unexplained. Revenues listed in the financial operations (student tuition and fees, endowment income, and unrestricted gifts) do not equal total revenues. Operating expenses comprising educational expense, plant operation-depreciation and executive- administrative costs, also do not balance with the sum expenditure. I-ate last night Lindower clarified the financial statement by confessing that it was only a condensation of the fiscal year’s transactions, lie admitted the unaccounted $3 million was itemized in the original budget as auxiliary enterprises, according to the financial manager, including the bookstore, and room and board. unification caused surplus One million dollars should be listed as an auxiliary enterprises expenditure, namely the dining hall, bookstore, and dormitory staff ex penses. With these additions, Lindower guaranteed the statements balanced. Lindower cites increased revenues and low expenditures as chief reasons for the surplus. According to the account, total revenue in creased from $4,922,861 to $5,870,326. Operating expenses increased only minimally from $4,708,879 to $4,976,039, a $200,000 raise. University spokesmen believe unification caused the surplus. Even though the budget was planned before the intensification of the co exchange program, these sources cite Provost Rev. James T. Burtchaell’s claim: Notre Dame gives St. Mary’s a 20 percent savings on their teaching load as one cause for the extra money. St. Mary’s can admit more students and not hire a proportional number of faculty, sources said. While the faculty gained one member in the fiscal year 1970-71, it netted a loss of seven in structors this year. Accompanied by graduated tuition increases totaling $250, a student enrollment has steadily increased from 1279 (’69) to 1413 (’70) to 1465 (’71). Since St. Mary’s added more students, but no teachers, this represents a clear gain, ad ministrative sources alleged. In addition, St. Mary’s used the computer facilities at Notre Dame gratis last ypar for programming student schedules, grade reports, and reportedly, payrolls. They also utilize other university services such as the Memorial Library for no extra fees, university ad ministrators substantiated. entries missing “There are so many entries missing,” com plained Harold Isbell, English instructor. “ No auxiliary enterprises (building rentals, bookstore profits) are listed in the revenue. There is also no breakdown of educational ex penses. Instead under the heading Lindower cryptically lumped the academic dean’s office, library, student personnel, and faculty salaries.” SMC faculty requested the data last fall. Comparing the audit with last year’s more- detailed financial statement, faculty members expressed disappointment. While Lindower could not speculate on this year’s surplus becaue of the $150,000 payment to Notre Dame for St. Mary’s enrollment in co-ex classes, he did forecast a surplus. Despite press reports, the payment supposedly billed and paid by St.Mary’s College in mid-January, has not yet been received, SMC administrators confided. Decreases in the amount of supplies ordered by the science departments since majors have elected many lab courses at Notre Dame, the net decreases in faculty, cutdowns in security and housekeeping staffs, and gratis clerical fees which Notre Dame now performs may all con tribute to this year’s surplus, SMC faculty representatives analyzed. “Our enrollment is up at our maximum and because of the merger , some of our operating expenses are unrealistic,” commented Dr. Paul Messbarger, faculty assembly chairman.

Treanor Observer Assistant Editor Pangborn Hall Senator Chuck Luken joined the ranks of declared Student Body Presidential Candidates last night, promising “wholesale reconstruction” of student government and challenging his opponents to “free and open debate.” SLC Vice - Chairman Floyd Kezele and Student Government Ombudsman Paul Dziedzic, both of whom have already declared themselves can didates for the SBP post, were unavailable for comment on Luken s invitation to debate. Luken and his running - mate, Sorin Hall President Walter Spak, made their announcement to a crowd of about twenty people in the Pangborn Chapel. Luken, who comes from Cincinatti, Ohio, charged the administration of SBP John Barkett with “viewing the mechanisms of student govern ment the way corporation leaders view the mechanisms of the corporation.” The Pangborn Senator said that Barkett had “created some coherent struc tures,” but contended that some of those structures were now “a dead weight ” He also said that he would use both “diplomacy and pressure” to deal with the University. “You’re not going to do it with just diplomacy. That’s one of the things that went wrong with the Barkett ad ministration.” Pledging “a fresh approach,” Luken said that “the bureauocracy has run Student Government and forgotten the purpose of Student Government - to help six thousand guys here.” Luken also had some harsh words for the student Senate. “The Senate has been made a mockery of lor the last time,” he said. “It seems that its biggest concern is with reproducing itself.” Luken suggested relacing the Senate with “a system of eleven representatives and a SBP and SBVP ” He said that the Senate had become “unwieldy and ineffective” and that the new body would be “a more cohesive structure that could participate more fully in student government.” Senate 'unwieldy' The Pangborn Senator also contended that the Hall Life Commission and “several cabinet posts” should be abolished. He said that “The Hall Life Commission, seems to be the SBP and SBVP’s touch with hall life.” Luken suggested replacing the Commission with the Hall President’s Council and said that “We believe the eleven man-woman panel should work directly with the HPC with no middle man.” “Several cabinet posts should come under similar scrutiny,” he said. Luken will not be running in conjunction with any St. Mary’s candidate on a merged ticket, but called his candidacy “committed to the merger." “We fail to see any advantage in it (running on a merged ticket),” Luken said. “We must be willing to work with the winner of the St. Mary’s election whether it is our coalition partner or not. We believe this is the most open-minded approach.” The Pangborn Junior also called for student membership on the Board of Trustees, contending that “when the Trustees meet to consider how many girls to bring on campus, the merger, new alcohol legislation, etc..., we believe students should be in the discussion and have the right to represent (continued on page 2)

Fine emIt looks like the old salvation army clunker is going to be a

thing of the past next year, with the expected administrative fiat banning all large refrigerators

The big boxes soak up too much electricity, too much for most halls’ wiring to handle and too much for the power plant to produce at times. The best solution would be to re-wire the halls, but it’s an expensive proposition. Faced with a 700 thousand dollar deficit the university is hard pressed to scare up funds for such large capital improvements.

In order to discourage excessive use of electricity the university is planning to levy a general range of fines on various appliances. Students apparently, will have a hand in the decision making, something which is a very welcome addition.

The Hall President’s will be asked for ideas on the problem and their suggestions will be taken seriously into con­sideration when the final decision is made.

That students should be fined for having televisions, hot plates and pop corn poppers in their room is, on the surface, rather petty. But the near fire which went off in Dillon last semester, caused by an electrical malfunction is not petty. It is not to difficult to imagine any of the older halls here on campus engulfed by a conflagaration sparked by some electrical aberration,

So there is no solution to the problem except to discourage student use of gadgets that consume a lot of electricity. The way to discourage, unfortunately, is to fine them, perhaps to fine them stiffly. But at the same time those fines can be used to effect a far more equitable and realistic solution to the affair.

If fines are raised and if fines are levied on a wide range of machines, then perhaps all these monies could be channeled into a special fund used exclusively to re-wire the halls, one by one. This solution won’t set any speed records, but in lieu of the university’s financial situation and the real danger we face from have overloaded lines in tinderbox dormitories, it seem s the most realistic.

Badin and Walsh

E d ito r :A nebulous le tte r inform ed the

re s id en ts of Walsh and Badin th a t th e ir ha lls will be the firs t hom es for the w om en of N otre D am e. W e’ve been told th a t since we w anted the w om en, we should be p rep a red to m ake the sacrifices n ecessa ry to house them on cam p u s, and it would ap p e a r th a t any p ro test on our p a r t will do little to change this decision. T h e re fo re w e h a v e so m e recom m endations of ou r own, but, firs t, th e re is a point to be m ade. D espite the rheto ric everyone spouts about th is p lace , it is NOT the “ N otre D am e sp irit ”, th a t keeps th e studen ts re tu rn in g ev ery sem este r . W hat does keep us com ing back and w hat does m ake life a t all b ea rab le a round h ere is not our undying love for the football gam es , M ardi G ras, e tc ., but those friends w ith whom w e live and sh a re the g re a te r p a rt of our college experience. The N otre D am e esp irit do corps, if indeed it does ex is t, o rig ina tes on the g r a s s - ro o ts le v e l , w ith o u r d rinking and sm oking buddies, not in som e m yopic euphoria induced by sh afts of light g linting from the Golden Dome.

O ur recom m endation , then , is th a t the burden of accom odating the w om en s tuden ts be sh a red by all s tuden ts, not ju s t us. O ther halls should low er th e ir num ber of new freshm en ad m itted and allow the res id en ts of W alsh and Badin to m ove into o ther ha lls on a section or p a rtia l section basis, ra th e r than on an individual basis. T his section “ tra n sp la n t” plan would allow us to keep our best friends w ith us and not reduce us to little m ore than b lushing freshm en en te ring hall life for the firs t tim e. (In fac t, we will not even be on a p a r w ith freshm en , who a re allow ed to ind ica te th e ir p re fe ren ce for a p a rtic u la r hall. A lo ttery system robs us of even th a t.)

T here m ight be one objection ra ised . Som e m ight c la im th a t a s e c tio n w h ich t r a n s f e r s to ano ther hall would becom e an exclusive clique. U n true ; it is m uch e a s ie r to m ak e friends in a supportive env ironm ent of old frier s than to a tte m p t m aking friends w ith everyone around s ta rin g a t the “ new k id " and postu lating u lte rio r m otives.

This will ra ise a p roblem in o th e r h a lls c o n c e rn in g ro o m picks, but the re s id en ts of Walsh and Badin did not alone request tha t women be housed on c a m ­pus; the en tire studen t body did. T herefore , the re s t of the s tuden ts should be m ore than willing to accep t a fraction of the inconvenience th a t we a re asked to accep t w ithout question. S tudents in o ther ha lls could easily pick room together and sim ply leave a block of room s, say , sp ace enough for 25 persons, v a c a n t fo r th e d is p la c e d res id en ts of W alsh and Badin. We a r e p r e p a r e d to ta k e som ew hat in ferio r q u a lity ; we sim ply a sk for a q u an tity of a d jac en t room s. The num ber of sections w anting to do th is will probably be m in im al, because a num ber of s tu d en ts will m ove off cam pus, o th e rs will tra n s fe r to o ther schools, and m any sections a re not a s cohesive a s we think ours to be, so th a t only a sm all num ber of sections a re likely to ta k e a d v a n ta g e of th is perogative .

F in a l ly , w e w a n t to r e ­em phasize th a t our friends m ake th is p lace w hat it is, not the

veneers of a “ school sp ir i t” long on the w ane. O ur re c to r told us th a t “ th e r e is no m an h o o d w ithout sac rifice . . .” We ag ree insofar a s we sho ldn’t be the sole r e c ip ie n t s of “ m a n h o o d ,” especia lly one forced on us. Many s tuden ts have a lread y c la im ed th a t they em path ize with our p ligh t; we req u est proof of th a t e m p a th y th ro u g h th e p riv ilege of m oving into o ther ha lls on a section basis.

W hat we w ant to say is th a t we d o n 't sleep in fe a r , w ondering when and w hom he will s trike . We don’t b e ra te o r c a s tig a te him . because by h is own adm ission he is happy . We see th a t and we can only be g lad .

The th ree of us have lived w ith him for a com bined to ta l of over e igh t y ea rs . We liked him when we m et him ; we liked him when we decided to live w ith h im . The only th ing th a t h as changed recen tly is th a t he is m uch h ap p ie r and e a s ie r to live w ith. How can we com plain?

It w as sa id th a t life a s it is is too full of sadness to get hung up and uptight about things people do to m ake them selves and each o ther happy , providing, of course, th a t no one ge ts hu rt.

As our room m ate sa id in his le tte r , it isn 't im p o rtan t whom you love, but th a t you love. We love him and he loves us. How can th is m ake a d ifference to tru e friends?

...again

N otre D am e Men and W omen, and m ost of all the th ree persons w ho responded to my le tte r ,

Two w eeks have passed since I sa t lonely on a S a tu rd ay night con tem pla ting the loneliness of N otre D am e. Much has happened since then and I would like to tak e a few m om ents to sh a re it w ith you.

The day a f te r I w ro te the Ob­se rv e r I con tac ted the South Bend G ay A lliance and N otre D am e Gay L ibera tion M ovem ent (272- H715). I ta lked for 30 m inu tes with a beau tifu l w om an nam ed Sam , and she convinced m e to com e to the m eeting th a t Sunday and d iscover the local gay com ­m unity .

I w ent, and I am a m uch hap p ie r person for so doing. I found som eth ing so refresh ing ly

d ifferen t for m odern so c ie ty : people, m en and w om en who had a genuine concern for m e and m y prob lem s. A very d ifficult p a r t of being gay is the loneliness one encoun te rs in com ing to g rips w ith o n e ’s s e lf . Y ou n eed som eone who h as experienced the sam e doubts, fea rs and hopes- -a p riest o r a psychologist m ay not be ab le to help you. I think th a t th e re a re so m any guys, and p erhaps w om en, in this com ­m unity who a re questioning th e ir sexuality , and they rea lly have no one to ta lk w ith about it. It is so very im p o rtan t to have som eone, and th a t is why I tu rn ed to the SBGA.

I am m ore a t peace w ith m yself now , h a v in g e s ta b l i s h e d th e fram ew ork for friendsh ip w ithin the gay com m unity a t N otre D am e. I am personally libera ted , yet I feel no need to announce m y hom osexuality to the public a t la rge . I s a t down w ith m y room m ates las t w eek for m any hours of ju s t plain ta lk , I w as tired of play ing g am es and I think I knew how they w ould re a c t all along. The th re e of them a re very d e a r to m e, and I am not a sh am ed to tell them th a t I love them . Too m any people e rec t facades ; I c a n ’t do th a t any longer. If m y friends cannot a ccep t m e for w hat I am , then th a t friendsh ip had little va lue to begin w ith anyw ay . At leas t th a t ’s the w ay I feel. My room ­m ates view m e no d ifferen tly now than before, and I am no less a m an to them .

My p a re n ts know th a t I have been exploring m y sexuality . They a re not p leased , feeling th a t, p e rh ap s , they h ave failed m e som ew here along the line. I don’t th ink they have. I suppose I will h ave a long ta lk w ith them over the nex t b reak . I don’t think th e y ’ll ev e r rea lly u n d ers tan d ; I ’m not ask ing them to do tha t. But I w ould like them to know th a t I am still th e ir son and the fact th a t I am a hom osexual is not going to d e te r m e from pursu ing the goals th a t I h av e estab lished for m yself. My sexual p re fe ren ce is not going to stop m e from doing tha t.

It is a little sadden ing to rea lize th a t m ost of us who have found each o th er will be leav ing Du L ac this M ay. F o r a b rief tim e we will be together and m aybe in th a t tim e we can estab lish som ething for the fu tu re , so th a t those who rem ain , and those who will follow us will know to whom and w here to tu rn .

Indulge m e, for a m om ent, to say thank you to m y friend from acro ss the road . A le tte r such as yours m akes up m any tim es over for the in su lts and b a rb s of those who a re so insecure in th e ir own sexuality . T hank you for tak ing the tim e and say how you feel. I w ish th a t o th er people w ere ab le to ex p ress th e ir feelings a s openly a s you.

With th is , let m e close m y discussion until ano ther day , and to quote from F a ith B aldw in, “ I w ish ...a lw ays for the cap ac ity to love and to be loved. I w ish for the ab ility to rem em b er the good th ings and forget the re s t, to c re a te new m em ories and to be susta ined by tru s t and hope and co u rag e ; and a lw ays to try to u n d e rs tan d .”

Sm ile, m y friends a t N otre D am e, all your d ream s a re on th e ir w ay!

P eace , love and hope...One who c a re s

E d ito r :

‘T is the n ight befo re the lo ttery And I thank God it isn ’t m e.I do not w ait w ith ba ted b rea th F o r som e c lam m y hand to pick m y death .

I have no fea r , I am fem ale. Yet, my e a rs rin g w ith the fa therless b a b y ’s w ail.I shake w hen th e a rm s th a t have held m e tigh t,Are lost in th a t fa r off, futile fight.

My voice soon jo ins th a t ancien t c ry ,Women w atch ing m en m arch off to die.In ‘17, in ‘45, an d in ‘72,F a th e rs , b ro th e rs , uncles too.

Tis the n ight befo re the lo ttery , And som etim es I w ish it could bem e.All my p ra y e rs an d fran tic te a rs A re im poten t, canno t soothe your fears.

W om en’s lib -w e ra n t and rave , But would w e e v e r face th a t g rav e?We a re so rry , m en , w hatever w orth th a t m ay hold Though it c a n ’t keep you sa fe for grow ing old.

A Poem by Ja m e s K avanaugh for the loving, the lost, th e educated and cu ltu red of our com m unity .

Once a Lad

Once a lad w ith untold eag e rn ess for love and lifeAnd questions in his eyes for w hich th e re w ere no w ords With energy like fresh ly bubbling s p r in g s e m e r g in g fro m th e ground,M ade h is w ay to silen t g roves in acad em e and found A g ra m m a r ia n ’s g rav ity to tell of C aesa r and H om er in w ords W ithout su rp rise , dim and dull, rep le te w ith ru les,Insisting th a t A chilles w as but a gen itive a tten d in g “h ee l”

A nd A g a m e m n o n p ro p e r sub jec t of a sen tence sca rce ly real.The blood w as p a rsed from books-poetry lost in ponderous prose,R eading but a r a t 's p erfo rm an ce m em orized by those Who fought for little pe lle ts of A’s or B’sAnd h ea rd g rav e w arn ings m ad e to boys who felt the b reeze Of troy or m ade of H annibal a hero on his e lephan ts When m a s te rs bade h im trudge acro ss snowy Alps,Only to lead a v e rb ag a in in search of its object.

The lad b ecam e a kind of m an rep le te w ith sc h o la r’s ex p ertise T hat seem ed to p rom ise love but o ffered te s tim o n ia ls in s tead , and Left him filled w ith angu ish and em p tiness , d isgust for learn ing , A seeth ing desire to hang a collection of h is m a s te rs

Until th e blood flowed from th e ir infin itives and ten ses and T heir flesh could m odify the ground in se a rc h of all th e ir s e n s e s !

Stupid lad ! You should have know n! A sing le g lance en o u g h : G ra y b u ild in g s w ith b ilio u s yellow halls-no m usic ca lls Or flow ers-only S p a rtan sun- d ries-c lean te rrazzo floors th a t onlySeem ed like stone but ta s te d lean like d is in fec tan t and cem en t, B arren b a th room s, w axen toilet p ap e r, beds aligned like coffins, W indows w ithout c u rta in s like p ry ing eyes, th e a ir dead ,Food, pa le and p as ty , unloved, a d e sp e ra te c rea tio n W here po ta toes d isap p ea red in so m e m ilk y , m o th e r le s s in ­carn a tio n .

God! He h a ted those c ream ed po ta toes slid ing down his th ro a t! A p ro p er pall for those who m an ag ed to en d u re it a ll, hoping th a tA fter b a ttle th e re w ould ap p e a r som e gen tle , loving face To hold the w eary in a nu rtu rin g em b race . But a la s ! Too la te! Hope w as only fan tasy of heaven or re le a se from s tre ss ,And passion squeezed like g rap es w as tu rn ed to v in e g a r’s success.

And oh, the sallow cheeks th a t checked his ev e ry m ove,M aking it ten se and m easu red till nothing round su rv ived .C ircles m ad e no sense am id tr ia n g u la r and e so te ric gods.But m ost of all a lad who w an ted love, a reaso n to laugh ,And got in s tead a sc h o la r’s ru les and daily duels to b reak a sp irit Till he c ried : “ I will to d ie !”B ut tr ied so h a rd ,And such m om entum built to s tay aliveT hat even now-he only s tru g g les bad ly to su rv ive And not to choke upon a single m em ory of

S ilence and soberness, D iscipline and som berness ,

And c ream ed po ta toes sliding down h is th ro a t.

Sue W elte, ch a irm a n of the S tudent Ju d ic ia l B oard , p resen ted the repo rt.

M iss W elte c la im ed th a t G aal does not qualify a s a m em b er of the SMC studen t body, c iting p age one, a r tic le II, of the p ro c e d u r a l m a n u a l : “ A ll S t.

She ad d ed th a t the selection of G a a l th ro u g h th e S tu d e n t A ssem bly is in v iolation of page 28, a r t ic le IX, secion t VII, of the m an u a l, w hich sa y s : “ In ca se of a vacan cy of a s tu d en t body e lec ted position o th er th an the S tudent Body P re s id en t, th ere w ill be a schoolw ide e lec tio n .”

M iss B arlow questioned the au th o rity of the S tudent R elations B oard over the A ssem bly. She also c la im ed th a t if G aal w ere to be rem oved from his post, then th ree a t la rg e A ssem bly m e m ­b ers from N D: G ary C aruso, P au l Dziedzic, and J im C larke should a lso be rem oved .

Jim K ane m akes waves on Irish swimming scene

by Vic D orrTo d a te , the N otre D am e

sw im m ing team has put together a reco rd of seven wins and two losses, and h as assu red itself of its f irs t w inning season since 1966-67. One of the b iggest fa c ­to rs in the ta n k e rs ’ cu rren t s u c c e s s h a s b een f r e e s ty le standou t J im Kane.

Two w eeks ago, in a tr i-m eet ag a in s t O akland U niversity and W ayne S ta te , K ane w as en te red in four ra ce s . He sw am the 100 a n d 200 y a r d s a g a in s t b o th O akland and W ayne S tate , and he posted firs t p lace finishes in all four even ts . N otre D am e sw ept the m eet, downing W ayne S ta te 67-46, and O akland U. 60-53.

L ast w eekend, the tan k e rs s q u a r e d off a g a in s t S t. B onaventure , th e ir b iggest riv a l and ag a in K ane w as in blue ribbon form . He se t pool and N otre D am e v a rs ity reco rds in the 200 w ith a tim e of 1:48.4, and he se t a new ND record in the 100 w ith a tim e of 49.1.

And a t the conclusion of the m eet, w hen the outcom e w as still in doubt, he jo ined tea m a tes Joe O ’Connor, John Sherk , and G ene K ra th au s in a reco rd -se tting (3:16.5) effort in the 400-yard re la y . The win in the 400 gave ND the m eet, 61-52.

But K ane’s g re a te s t va lue to the Irish sw im p ro g ram m ay well be his age The sp r in te r from Owings M ills, Md., is only a freshm an , and he has a fu tu re th a t is a s b righ t a s h is p resen t.

“ I had been thinking about com ing h e re ,” sa id K ane, a s he

talked about h is choice of N otre D am e, “ but sw im m ing d idn ’t ex ac tly fit into the p ic tu re . I looked a t a lot of schools, and N otre D am e w as w hat I w anted. Sw im m ing d id n ’t have a w hole lot to do w ith m y choice, but it did have som eth ing to do w ith it. I saw th a t N otre D am e had a team th a t I could be p a r t of, and I saw and I saw th a t I w ouldn’t have to be a full-tim e sw im m er h e re .”

K ane, who consideres h im self a “ p a rt- tim e ” sw im m er for ND, did not com pete a t a ll la s t su m m er. He sw am the 50 and 100 for Loyola High School in B altim ore, but cam e to ND las t y e a r a f te r a vacation from ac tu a l com petition .

“ I d id n ’t sw im la s t y e a r , so I w as a little su rp rised w hen I s ta r te d doing so well up h e re ,” he ad m itted . “ I c a n ’t pu t m y finger on ju s t w hat the reason w as, e ith er. M aybe I ’m ju s t s tro n g er, or m aybe i t ’s the coach in g ...it’s h a rd to say . Up here , though, you have to do well individually , or the team w on’t do well

J im h as done v ery well in­div idually th is season , desp ite the fac t th a t he had to change even ts when he cam e u nder Coach Denny S ta rk ’s d irection .

“ We had (G ene) K ra thus in the 50 las t y e a r , so coach decided to try m e in the 200. But it d id n ’t rea lly m ak e th a t m uch d ifference to m e. The 100 is m y favo rite ra c e anyw ay , and besides the change did help the te a m .”

K ane, w hile view ing sw im m ing as an individual spo rt, a lso

believes th a t the team has a p lace in it too.

“ S u re ,” he sa id , “ sw im m ing ’s an in d iv id u a l s p o r t , b u t every th ing you do you do for a team . If your te a m ’s w inning, then you’re a little m ore u p ’ for your p a r tic u la r race . We w anted to win the f irs t team re lay la s t w eekend a g a in s t the Bonnies because we thought it would b reak th e ir sp irit. We lost th a t race , bu t we w ere ab le to com e back okay.

“ Now ag a in s t W ayne S ta te , we w ere ab le to win the firs t re lay (the 400-yard m edley) and I think th a t rea lly b roke th e ir sp irit a s a te a m .”

T he ND tan k e rs will find out ju s t how s t ro n g th e ir “ team sp ir i t” is th is w eekend, when they trav e l to L aF ay e tte for a m eet w ith P u rdue . The B oilers

drubbed the Irish 84-39 la s t y ea r, and h av e won e igh t of ten m eetings w ith ND. And th is y ea r, a s in the p as t, the B oilers have the ta len t to g ive the Ir ish fits.

The Irish EyePlayoff Patter

Although the N otre D am e hockey te am h as lost six s tra ig h t WCHA g am es and 11 of its la s t 14 league s ta r ts , the season is fa r from over for the Irish icers.

Coach Lefty S m ith ’s boys a re looking a h ead -to a spo t in the WCHA playoffs and a chance to com pete in the NCAA tou rney , not b ack w ard a t a d isappo in ting season in w hich th e y ’ve com piled only an 11-15 reco rd (7-13 in the WCHA).

D espite th e ir prolonged slum p, the Ir ish a r e still v e ry m uch in contention for a p layoff be rth . E ig h t of the le a g u e ’s ten te am s qualify for post-season com petition and N otre D am e is cu rren tly locked in a th ree-w ay tie for seven th p lace in the WCHA w ith C olorado College and M ichigan. E ach club has 22 title points.

A look a t the stand ings show s th a t the Ir ish could conceivab ly wind up fifth, but a m ore rea lis tic finish w ould be in the seven th position. And even th a t w on’t be easy .

M ichigan S ta te is in fifth p lace w ith 32 title points head ing into an eigh t point se r ie s w ith M innesota-D uluth th is w eekend in E a s t L an ­sing. The UMD sex te t has 36 points and is tied w ith D enver and N orth D akota for second p lace in the loop, tra ilin g the W isconsin B adgers, who have 42 points.

The H uskies of M ichigan T ech, who have a four point se r ie s on tap F rid ay and S a tu rd ay a t N orth D akota , a re ju s t a h ead of the Irish , in six th p lace , w ith 28 points.

N otre D am e w ould like to be ab le to o v e rtak e the H uskies, bu t th e ir p rim ary concern is finishing a h ead of e ith e r C olorado or M ichigan, w hich w ould a t le a s t en su re them of a p layoff spot.

The Irish still have a chance to pick up 16 points in the final th ree w eekends of the cam pa ign . They m ee t D enver in an eigh t-po in t se rie s in the M ile H igh City F rid ay and S a tu rd ay n igh ts and then w ind up the season w ith a couple of four-point se r ie s in the ACC, hosting M ichigan on F eb. 25 and 26 and M ichigan S ta te on M arch 3 and 4.

Coach Sm ith figures th a t h is club will h ave to win “ th ree ou t of the las t s ix ” if they a re to m ak e the p layoffs and th a t w ould seem to be a c c u ra te figuring , p resum ing th a t two of those th ree w ins com e a g a in s t M ichigan.

The W olverines a re 9-13 on the y e a r and , like N otre D am e, have 16 points rem ain ing . M ichigan hosts tough W isconsin in a four-point se rie s th is w eekend, then v is its the ACC for th e ir show down w ith the Irish , and fin ishes the season w ith an e igh t point se r ie s a g a in s t the c e lla r dw elling M innesota G ophers in M inneapolis.

The N otre D am e M ichigan se rie s sh ap es up to be a big one for both team s. A sw eep by e ith e r club would g rea tly en hance one te a m ’s playoff hopes w hile pu tting a sev e re c rim p in the lo se r’s post-season plans. Back in the f irs t w eek of D ecem ber, the W olverines m an ag ed to top the Irish tw ice in Ann A rbor by 6-5 sco res.

C olorado College would seem to h ave the m ost d ifficu lt ro ad to a playoff spot. The T igers , 8-14 in the WCHA, have only 12 points rem ain ing . They have four-point se r ie s s la ted for the nex t th ree w eekends, p lay ing a t M innesota this F rid a y and S a tu rd ay , m eeting D enver in a hom e-and-hom e se t nex t w eekend, and closing w ith a p a ir of g am es in D uluth a g a in s t the UMD B ulldogs.

T his y e a r ’s WCHA playoff a r ra n g e m e n t will p it the e igh th p lace fin isher ag a in s t the f irs t p lace fin isher a t the top c lu b ’s rin k , n u m b er seven a t nu m b er two, six a t th ree , and five a t four in a tw o-gam e, to ta l goals p layoff, M arch 7 and 8. The four w inners w ill m ee t in an o th e r tw o-gam e to ta l goals se rie s on M arch 10 an d 11 w ith the hom e ice ad v an ta g e going to the h ighest re g u la r season fin ishers. A gain, a s in the firs t round, the team th a t fin ished low est d u ring the 26-gam e cam p a ig n will have to m ee t the top su rv iv ing fin isher.

T here is no “ fin a l” round in the WCHA playoffs. The two rem ain in g team s a re g iven p rim e considera tion by the selection co m m ittee th a t d e te rm in es w hich two W estern clubs com pete a g a in s t the E a s te rn C ollegiate A thletic C onference’s p a ir of re p re se n ta tiv e s in the NCAA C ham pionships scheduled for M arch 16-18 in the Boston G arden .
