Some might attribute this to unbearable classloads, disappointing or nonexistent love lives or sinking stock market prices. The use of parachutes by the divers, however, indicates that they are not taking the plunge out of despair, but for enjoyment. Sport parachute enthusiasts thrill to the sensation of falling with 40 pounds of gear strapped to their backs at a rate of 17 feet per second. And, according to Clayton Troutner, Charlotte drop zone manager, participation in the sport in this area has increased 1,000 per cent in the past 10 years. "Parachuting was once considered a dangerous sport, but because of increased information, people now realize it's a safe sport," Troutner said. Troutner added that participation by women in this once male - dominated activity is now increasing. "From 1963 to 1969, there was one woman jumper in the club," he said. "We now have 10 women in the club, five of whom are active jumpers." The club Troutner referred to is the MSU Sport Parachute Club.The organization's first meeting Oct. 2 attracted approximately 60 prospective plungers, some 30 of whom appeared at the Charlotte drop zone the following weekend with $35 each in their pockets to cover the three - hour training session and first jump. Some experienced jumpers and members of "Clockwork Banana," one of Michigan's two skydiving teams which on a national compete level, were also there. Many were either past or present members of MSU's club, but all had one thing in common. Hiey are parachuting addicts. "Most people want to try it just for the experience," Calvin Root, last year's MSU club president, said "They twice and then never do it jump once or again." Root estimated that 10 per cent of the novices stick with the sport and make a hobby of it. "Usually after the first jump, people are either hooked or they aren't," Perry Engstrom, skydiving team member, said. Pamela Bird, one of two women, on the 10 - member team, agreed. "It's an addiction once you get into it, a way of life almost," she said. Peter Gyengo, head instructor at the Charlotte drop zone, was A member of MSU's more emphatic. Sport Parachute Club falls earthward after a jump in "Sometimes I can't find money to pay for food, but I can Charlotte. Parachuting is a growing sport and its enthusiasts give a variety of always dig up money for skydiving," he said. reasons why they love it. The sport provides a pleasant respite from everyday How do this sport's participants explain their enthusiasm for hassles. an activity most people would not consider trying even in their wildest dreams? "When you jump out, you're away from the airplane noise, and it's perfectly quiet," Betsey Bock, skydiving team member, said. "You don't have the sensation of height. Buckeyes overwhelming "It's all wrapped up with loving to be in the air. You're completely alone up there and nothing can touch you. You know it's there when you get back, but you're completely free until then." Gyengo's reasons for sticking with the sport are somewhat No. 1 choice in UPI poll different.

Not that the coach of the second - rated Wolverines is preparing any alibis or laments for his team's Nov. 23 clash with top - rated Ohio State — he doesn't think that way. But Schembechler believes the rise of the Big Ten, and its further growth, depend upon a change in the rule. "There is strong sentiment, not only at Michigan but throughout the Big Ten, for permitting other teams to go to other bowls," the Michigan coach said earlierthis week. ^^^^Frorr^e^arn^Ne^Owne^n^^^ IN RESPONSE TO PUBLIC DEMAND good Mon. - Thurs.
