New head coach may add light
to basketball team's horizon
by JASON WILKIE

He's young. He's experienced. And he's Central's new
head basketball coach, Keith
Dambrot.
Atletic Director Dave Keilitz
announced May 8 that
Dambrot will replace former
head basketball coach Charlie
Coles, who resigned in March.
"What impressed us the most
was that (Dambrot) had been a
head. coach, and was
successful." Keilitz said. "Most
applicants had been assistants.
"We looked at who is going to
have the program in good shape
in the long run."
Although some people may
consider Dambrot young for a
head coach, at 32 years old he
has ten years of coaching
experience, with four as a head
coach.
During the last two years
Dambrot was head coach at
Ashland University, a Division
II school in Ohio. At Ashland's
head coach he compiled a 48-13
overall record in the conference. His team went to the
NCAA Division II playoffs both
years.
• During the 1989 - '90 season
he coached his team to the
NCAA Division II Sweet 16 and
in the "90 - "91 season he led
Ashland to its first Division II
NCAA regional.
Dambrot's regional championship team was first in the
country in Division II scoring
margin (22.9), ranked second in
KEITH DAMBROT
scoring (101 points per game),
and created 28 turnovers per
game. - Prior to coaching at
Ashland, Dambrot was an
assistant coach at Eastern
Michigan University under
current head coach Ben Braun.

Safety concerns have forced University officials to relocate the
Extended Degree Program's Lansing office.
The office, located at 402 E. Saginaw next to the Grand River, is
moving to a site on Pennsylvania Avenue near the 1-96 offramp at
Cedar.
The Board of Trustees approved the relocation May 3.
Extended Degree -Programs allow adults to pursue undergraduate and graduate degrees in a variety of disciplines. About 500
students take classes through the Lansing office. Classes are 5:30
to 10 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdajs.
Despite the office's location near the capital and Lansing
Community College, Bob Trullinger. director of Extended Degree
Programs, said the presence of vagrants and vandalism are the
primary factors prompting the move.
Vagrants often congregate in a breezeway between the two
buildings comprising the shopping complex, he said.
"(A) number of vagrants and other folks would spend the night
there," Trullinger said.
Because classes are mostly at night, he said safety considerations are  important. Although there are no reports of physical
