#The Observer an independent student newspaper serving notre dame and st. mary's Tuesday, December 7, 1976 Vol. XI, No. 60 Carter considers ‘77 tax break; prepares for cabinet meetings PLAINS, Ga. AP - President-elect Carter said yesterday that he’s keeping an open mind on the possibility of a tax cut next year,, but he isn’t as certain of the prospect as his newly selected bud get director. Carter, preparing for a series of face-to-face meetings with prospec tive Cabinet members, said a tax cut is “ one of the possibilities, if the economy needs stimulation and I think at this point it appears that way.’’ "I wouldn’t say it is virtually certain, ” he said, referring to a comment Sunday by Thomas “ Bert" Lance, the Atlanta banker he has chosen to head the Office of Management and Budget. “I wouldn’t put it that strongly." Lance had said that the choices to stimulate the economy arc so limited that a tax cut is “ almost a certainty." “ I’m deliberately keeping my mind open,” the President-elect said. “ I have advisors who are leaning in all different directions, but i’ll wait and see.” Carter commented at an im promptu news conference that occurred after he cast his vote in this town's municipal elections. Carter's younger brother, Billv, is running for mayor. What Carter is waiting for is the end-of-the-year economic indica tors which will provide a look at the direction the economy is taking. The President-elect said he has not gone into the details of how large a tax cut might be if he decided to ask for one or whether it would be permanent or temporary. But he said he will be ready to move quickly when the time for decision comes. Lance, however, told The Los Angeles Times the Carter’s econ omic plan with likely include a tax reduction of up to $15 billion, a jobs program and tax investment credits to spur industrial expansion. He said the tax cut would probably take the form of a rebate on 1976 taxes as the quickest way to stimulate the economy. Such a rebate was proposed Sunday by economist Andrew F. Brimmer, a Carter adviser and former member of the Federal Reserve Board. Carter did emphasize that he has other options, including some type of job-creation plan to stimulate the economy and help reduce unem ployment, which now stands at 8.1 percent of the labor force. “ I'll be consulting with my economic advisers and also with congressional leaders before 1 make any decision.“ Carter said. “ ...It will be a joint decision, I guess, between myself and the congressional leaders. I’d like to work out something harmonious with them before we make a final commitment Carter announced he is going to Atlanta today to begin a series of meetings with Cabinet prospects that will continue in Washington later in the week. In Atlanta, Carter will hold his meetings in the governor’s man sion he once occupied. In Wash ington, they will take place mainly at Blair House, the government guest house on Pennsylvania Ave nue across from the White House. Carter would not give the names of any of the people with whom he will be meeting.

The proposal, which is not in effect yet, will give all St. Mary’s students free access to the centrally located LeMans lot from 6:00 p.m. Friday to 6:00 p.m. Sunday. This extension of parking privileges will allow students a safer and more convenient access to their vehicles and free Security from the job of taxiing students from their dorms to the McCandless parking lot. The proposal will go to Stevie Wernig, Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, the Student Affairs Com mission and the Student Affairs Council for approval and endorse ment. “ It’s a reasonable proposal,” said Mary Lu Bilek, student body president, “ and I think it will go through, but probably not until February. I’ll try to push it through because it would be nice to have it when we get back from vacation.” A second part of the proposal recommends that only students from McCandless be allowed to park in the first three rows of the McCandless lot on weekends. This measure was added to reduce security risks for those residents who choose to park in that lot. Visitors will still be allowed to park in the LeMans lot. During special campus events, however, the visitor overflow will be directed to the back of the McCandless lot, still giving students free access to the central Le Mans lot. A second proposal, concerning study days before finals, was brough tup by Cathy Coyne, Vice President for Academic Affairs. Coyne’s proposal which w ill be presented to the Academic Council today, recommends that the Mon day, May 9 classes be moved to Saturday, May 7, to allow for three consecutive study days before the spring finals beginning May 10. As it stands now, the academic calendar for the next two years will remain the same, with no study days before fall finals and one before the spring finals. In her proposal, Coyne hopes to arrange these future calendars so as to include extra study days. Members suggested that careful consideration be made before ap proving the Saturday class day. Job schedules and the Kentucky Derby will conflict with classes on that date. medical care,” Spock used as an example to the group of approxi mately 100 students, “ you can go to a public library and see we can have the best medical care. But we stand between tenth and twentieth in the world - we’re far behind.” The only criteria of success in industry, Spock said, is that it gets maximum profit. If people do not receive the proper necessities such as housing, “ it’s too bad," he said. In his 35-minute presentation, Spock’s main reason for the dis comfort in society is what he termed as “ rugged individual ism.” “ We have this tradition of rugged individualism in which everyone is on his own,” he said. “ Back in earlier days, people almost wept over the idea of rugged individualism.” Spock denounced this philosophy saying that it has caused our society to fragment. “ When you travel in other countries, you can see the differ ence,” Spock revealed. “ The people are more cooperative and less competitive." And competition was the second cause of stress in America, accord ing to Spock. “ Competition is instilled in children,” he said. “ When a child gets, for example, three A ’s and two B’s, his mother might ask, ‘why didn’t you get all A ’s?’ ” Third, Spock emphasized that there is a lot of violence. Televi sion, he said, comes along and glorifies violence. Good statistical evidence shows it brutalizes people,” Spock insist ed. He continued by saying that society, through media, suggests that violence is “ fun” or “ plea sure." Finally, the infamous child ex pert said that the American society is a materialistic one. The import ant thing is the money you make or the position you achieve, he stress ed, denouncing the lack of spiritual convictions among Americans. “ And that’s why young people have turned to Eastern religions," Spock explained. “ They are look ing for more exotic, more exciting things. This is why we are so selfish." Spock was born in New Haven, Conn. in 1903. He attended school at Phillips Exeter Academy and graduated from Yale University in 1925. In fact, he rowed on the Yale Crew Team which won a gold medal in the 1924 Olympic Games. He received an M.D. degree from Columbia in 1929 and practiced pediatrics from 1933 to 1947 in New York City. Although Spock told the aud ience that he was a relatively innocent person in his earlier years, he eventually became a spokesman for the peace move ment. "And I quadrupled my anti-war activity,” Spock stated about his life during the Vietnam war years. He mentioned that he had been arrested with former Yale Univer sity Chaplain William S. Coffin. “ It’s always nice to be arrested with ministers," he said, which brought a humorous response from the audience." This and other experiences, he said, “ opened up his eyes to the sins of the American government." He added that our government has been imperialist. “ Our government has interfered with Mexico, Guatemala, Nicara gua and the oil industries," he said. As a result, Spock “ convert ed to socialism.” “ And today, you have some people in poverty," he pointed out. “ But in Scandinavia, they elimin ated poverty years ago.” Unparalleled riches, a high level of education and resourcefulness were some of the strong points of American society, Spock indicated. “ Americans are friendly people," he stated, referring to comments made by foreigners when he traveled abroad. "But if you ask blacks, Puerto Ricans or other minorities, we haven’t been that friendly. In general, we haven’t been friendly with those who we don’t identify with.” Spock also cited the idealism present among people. “ It was wonderful to see people refusing to be drafted, opposing the war - just being adventurous," he praised. He also commended the youths of America in the early 1960’s who responded to giving more justice to blacks and women. “ They were also interested in better curriculum and parietal rules,” Spock noted. ! However, Spock returned to his critical analysis of American soc iety. “ What trends will become strong is the big question for America,” Spock stated. He suggested that society will “ gra dually be torn apart” if things remain the same. “ It’s hard for Americans to conceive of things (American so ciety) ending," he warned. “ But it’s happened to the Greeks, the Romans and the French. I’m reminding you that the countries who don’t solve their problem can fall in a relatively short period of time.” To clarify his idea of socialism, he said he was not “ preaching poverty” to be embraced. He emphasized people should work for a better society which can “ gratify and fulfill the needs of society." [continued on page 2J

And com petition was the second cause o f stress in Am erica, accord­ing to Spock. “ Com petition is ins tilled in ch ild re n ,” he said. “ W hen a ch ild gets, fo r example, three A ’ s and two B ’s, his mother m igh t ask, ‘why d id n ’t you get all A ’ s?’ ”

OC students: secure your valuablesOff-Campus students re tu rn ing

home fo r the Christm as holiday should secure th e ir valuables, s ta t­ed Darlene Palma, associate off- campus housing director.

Palma warned “ I f you w ill miss the artic le, don’ t leave i t . " She suggested several means o f secur­ing valuables du ring the break.

She said students should contact apartm ent landlords to store "oversized a rtic les " which they could not b ring home w ith them. She also suggested tha t off-cam pus residents contact friends liv in g on

campus and ask them to lock up the ir valuables. Apparently, Palma comments, there is a smaller chance o f the ft on campus during break.

Due to a lack o f student response Palma expla ined, a program set up last year by the housing committee has been discontinued. Under this program , a lis t o f professors w illing to store s tudent's valuables in the ir homes, was com piled. However, very few students contacted these professors and the program was abandoned th is year.

monetary p ro fit, th is system is not geared to produce that goal, he stated.

A fte r his presentation which was received warm ly by the audience, Spock answered questions from the audience. One o f those questions involved his reasons for w riting Baby and C hild Care in 1946. The book has sold some 22 m illion copies and has been translated into 18 languages.

“ I was the only doctor at the tim e who had both pediatric and psycho­analytical tra in in g ," Spock exp la in­ed. “ So I was asked by some doctors to w rite a book about child deve lopm ent."

" I wrote each day from 9 a.m. to I p.m . fo r three yea rs ," he continued. “ I was scared doctors would be very critica l. In fact, it was very successful w ith parents and pediatric ians as w e ll. "

W hen asked how s tu d e n ts should become involved to change society, Spock encouraged the stu­dents in the audience to “ jo in po litica l m ovem ents." He fu rthe r emphasized the need for people to get involved in com m unity organi­za tio n s and even encouraged people to jo in , i f interested, the People’ s Party w ith which he is a ffilia ted .

Stoltze resigns as VP for SMC student affairsby M arti Hogan

St. M a ry ’ s Ed ito r

M ary Ann Stoltze, Vice Presi­dent for Student A ffa irs at Saint M ary 's announced her resignation yesterday “ due to personal rea­sons." According to Stoltze, th is resignation is the f irs t o f its kind at St. M ary 's.

" I really like the workings o f student government, but I can’ t continue it at th is t im e ," Stoltze explained. She declined to com­ment fu rthe r on her resignation.

Student Body President M ary Lu Bilek also declines to comment on the reasons behind the resigna­tion, stated, “ I th ink it w ill say in her resignation le tte r'fo r personal reasons.’ She was competent and capable. She fille d the position well, and I am sorry she has res igned ," she added.

The resignation was effective yesterday. According to B ilek, she is required to give three weeks notice, but the three weeks w ill be

Water main broken in Fischer

By Tom Eder S taff Reporter

On Friday m orn ing at approxi­mately 3:00 am, a student working in the study lounge in Fischer H a ll's basement found water ris ing above his ankles. He quickly alerted members o f the hall staff, who discovered that a water main had broken outside the hall.

According to Father Ebey, rector o f Fischer Hall, “ The tremendous pressure caused by the breakage resulted in water coming through the m aid's room in to the base­m e n t." He stated that Hanley Plum bing and a representative of the power plant had the water flow stopped at abput 5:30 am. By that tim e about four inches o f water had accumulated throughout the base­ment.

“ Since there are also students' rooms in the basement, there was some damage to rugs and car­p e ts ," Ebey noted. “ But we are very happy that no one was hurt and there was as litt le damage as there w a s ," he added.

M r. Kenneth Kem pf. assistant director o f the power plant, stated, “ The water main outside Fischer is eighteen years old. O ther than tha t, “ l can give no de fin ite explanation o f why the main broke. There are several th ings tha t can go wrong w ith such an offset main. But none o f these occurred. I guess it can be termed as ju s t one o f those th in gs ," K em pf concluded.

The pipe breakage in Fischer was unrelated to the one in Keenan which occurred last Wednesday.

over Christm as break. Stoltze fo rm ally announced her resignation at the Student Assem bly m eeting last n ight.

According to St. M a ry ’s Proce­dural M anual, which illustra tes the structure o f St. M a ry ’ s com m unity government, the new vice pres i­dent must be elected by the student body. Both B ilek and Stoltze expressed the ir d issatisfaction w ih this policy.

"W e ran as a team, and le t's face it, I 'm breaking up the team ,” Stoltz said. “ To keep it a cohesive group, M ary Lu should have the perogative to appoint some­one rather than having to run a whole e lection .” Stoltz called the election rules as described in the manual “ hardly w orkab le .”

Nominations w ill open Thursday, Dec. 9 and w ill close at m idnight, Dec. 15. According to B ilek, any student who is a second semester sophomore is elegible to run. T ransfer students must have com­pleted at least two semesters at St. M ary 's to be e lig ib le.

“ ju s t call up and nominate y o u rse lf," B ilek explained adding

that M ary M ig a n e lli’s #4902, is in charge o f nom inations. Cam paign­ing is scheduled to start Monday, Jan. 17, the f irs t week back from Christmas vacation. “ Usually the p latform is due at the end o f the campaign, bu t th is tim e it is due at the beginning o f the campaign p e rio d ," B ilek said.

The election is scheduled fo r Jan. 24. “ We go out o f office A p ril 1, so she should only hold office from Jan. 24 to A p ril 1,” B ilek explained. “ I t ’ s a real good o p p o r tu n ity fo r som eone w ho wanted to run next year to get a taste o f student governm ent,” she added.

Neither Bilek nor Stoltze voiced any opinion on possible candidates.“ It 's w ide open,” B ilek said. “ 1 have no idea who w ill ru n ."

According to Stoltze, “ There are some good people in student government r ig h t now who can handle it. The problem is whether or not the people under them can take over the ir jobs. I t ’ s a very good learning experience. I 'd h igh ly recommend it fo r anyone,”

she added.As vice president fo r Student

A ffa irs , Stoltze was responsible fo r the Student Life Commission (SLC) and was instrum enta l in the fo rm a­tion o SMC H a ll P residents’ Coun­cil (HPC). she also planned the Thanksgiving celebration and su­pervised the publication o f The Grapevine a student governm ent newsletter.

“ Under the m anual, my only duty was Student L ife Commission. The HPC just kind o f happened, since we had no hall life com m is­sioner, the job fe ll to m e ," Stoltze said. The responsib ility o f d irec t­ing the HPC has recently been

added to the duties o f the Vice President o f Student A ffa irs listed in the manual.

“ You can add to the job what you want. I f you have thepeopleand are flexib le , you can be creative and in itia te new id e a s ," Stoltze said.

She indicated tha t The Grapevine was in itia ted “ so we could better in fo rm the students o f the workings o f Student Assem bly and student government in general.

When asked about the possib ility that she may run for a student governm ent position in M arch, Stoltze rep lied, “ I t 's debatable at th is po in t. 1 ju s t don’ t kn o w ."

O Christmas Tree

j

It is hard to get into the Christmas spirit at Notre Dame. The rush of finals is on, the snow is piled deep, a decree has gone forth banishing natural Christmas trees from the dorms. So, Fr. Robert Griffin, the Univer­sity chaplain, and those helping him have done the University a service by arranging for a community Christmas tree as a focus for the season ’s spirit.

The tree will be one of those growing near LaFortune and will be dedicated in a cerem ony Thursday night. The b lessing will be followed by a party at Darby’s

Place, providing a welcom e break from studies. Griffin has recruited the support of Student Government and the Office of Student Affairs (which is really not staffed with Scrooges and Grinches). Contribu­tions are still needed to pay for the decorations; it would be fitting if the money came from many people in the community.

In the midst of the last dreary push to the end of the sem ester, Griffin’s project offers a bit of Christmas cheer.

Raps HerbstDear Editor:

I fo r one am appalled at the radio comments and recent column o f my so-called boss and. his even more dubious t it le , Sports Editor: M r.Fred H erbst.

In the f irs t place, what rea lly galls me is tha t is not his depart­ment. W hat gives him the r ig h t to make such rash, uncalled fo r, and obviously ludicrous remarks that come only under my and the SMC Sports E d ito r ’s ju risd ic tion?

Let me make it clear tha t none of h is rem arks reflect my a ttitude in the s lightest. How could they? How could his rem arks be ind ica­tive o f anyone who has followed wom en’s basketball, at least during last year?

A fte r fo llow ing ND wom en’s lusketball very exensively last

year, both as an announcer and sports w rite r, I feel a litt le more qua lified to comment on the ir play last Saturday. Yet is it rea lly necessary? An artic le sum m arizing the p lay-by-p lay action would have sufficed. THe rest is obvious, it

seems to me.Fred, i f you and wom en’s basket­

ball "d o n ’ t agree” , as you say, then why did you insist on w riting th is story? W hy did you not let one o f the members o f the SMC o f ND wom en’s sports s ta ff cover it, as is th e ir job? Anyone would have done it more justice than you.

F ina lly , as one o f the wom en’s sports editors, I would like to apologize to both teams for the obvious in justice done to the ir play, and fo r the poor jou rna lis tic com­ment appearing in my department o f the sports page.

Eileen O’Grady ND Women’s Sports Editor

AnotherDear Editor:

This le tte r is being w ritten in response to the artic le entitled "B anana O il” w ritten by M r. Herbst. In our fou r years at Notre Dame we have never seen a more cynical sports ed itor. A ll year long his critica l barbs have been flung at the Notre Dame ath le tic programs, but in th is artic le he has reached an a ll-tim e low.

M r. Herbst fa ils to make a m ature comment in the entire artic le. He did not mention that since it was the firs t game o f the year, the teams could be nervous and that th is factor may have caused some o f the errors com m it­ted. Nor did he take in to acacount the hard work Sally D uffy did to prepare her team for the game. She gives two hours o f her tim e five days a week w ith no pay ju s t so she and her team can have fun playing organized basketball. A ll tfie joy she experienced in seeing her team win must have been tarnished by his base story. Maybe M r. Nerbst does not understand the purpose o f the ath le tic pro­grams at Notre Dame. I f he doesn’t, we suggest he develop such an understanding so as to im prove his reporting ab ility . I f he does understand th is purpose he sh should spend more tim e analyzing his reporting methods to enable him to report the total picture ra ther than the lim ited scope he recently presented in the Observer.E ithe r way his ab ility to cover a

story w ill im prove.In conclusion, we wish to em

phasize that the aforementioned opinion o f M r. Herbst is held by

many people o f theNotre Dame com m unity. We believe that M r. Herbst should at least give some credit where cred it is due, rather than incessantly carp on the ath­le tic activ ities here at Notre Dame. We believe the inadequate and biased reporting o f Fred Herbst should be upgraded to the more professional level that the Observer has dem onstrated over the past years.

James Hage Geroge Brengel Elton D. Moore

Frank Aiello Ted Schade

Yet AnotherDear Editor,

I would like to thank M r. Herbst for showing th is campus what real male chauvinism is in his com m entary, “ Basketball A t Its F i­nest.” The only conclusion I can come to is that a fter having been s tifled all football season, (the football players are too big to pick on), M r. Herbst, needing someone to critic ize, chose wom en’s basket­ball. He says in his artic le, “ I ’ d ra ther have personality than a w in any day .” Sorry Fred, but you don’t have either.

Mary Ellen Burchett Sandy Mertensotto

And AnoDear E d ito r:

Anger isn ’ t the word.Fred Herbst and wom en’s bas­

ketball don’ t agree. We are sorry. We are also sorry that The Obser­ver would bow so low as to p rin t his artic le as “ coverage” o f a sports event. Herbst not only fa iled to report objectively on the game, he also managed to slander both Notre Dame and St. M a ry ’ s teams, coaches and fans in one m indless motion o f the pen.

W om en’s basketball is not a varsity sport at ND. Women are not offered scholarships. THey are not recru ited from around the nation. H igh school a th le tic pro­grams fo r g irls have im proved trem endously over the past few years. Six years ago basketball s till fo llowed “ g ir ls ’ ” rules: sixplayers on a team, three on ofense and three on defense and you

couldn’ t cross the center line. W om en’s basketball may not be equal to the play o f the men, but is is through no fau lt o f the ir own.

The tim e devoted by each mem­ber to the sport is extraordinary. The dedication o f Coach Sally Duffy to her team and to wom en’s ath letics at Notre Dame is unm at­ched. i f she "w as like a litt le k id ” at the game on Saturday it was a true display o f excitement, emotion and concern for a team that she has shaped over the past two years.

I f what is im portant is how many turnovers we have each game then women should give up basketball a ltogether. But we w ill not give up basketball, or any other sport, sim ply because we cannot play up to the standards o f men like y ou, M r. Herbst, who insist on a serious game yet are de lighted by the “ cute” cheers o f the St. M a ry ’ s fans. I f you could know how much that game meant, and how much wom en’s sports mean, to the players, coaches, and women stu­dents o f Notre Dame then maybe you would realize what your article stnads for. We cannot ignore your artic le, but we w ill survive it, jus t as we have survived all the cruel, insensitive words we have heard in the past.

Please, M r. Herbst, do not come watch wom en’s basketball i f it offends you, and do not w rite any more articles because you offend us.

Barb Frey Martha Dwyer

Marietta Martin and 17 others

Still AnotherDear Edito r:

In regard to M r. H e rbst’s article in yesterday’s Observer, I feel he has overstepped the boundaries of acceptable journalism by reverting to a series o f unsophisticated personal attacks.

There seem to be several d iffe r­ent levels w ith which one oculd view th is artic le. F irs t, it is a piece" o f reporting , re laying the scores and some o f the events o f the game. This, o f course, is jo u rn a l­ism at its most basic level. Second, it is a commentary on the events of the game and o f th ose who partic ipated in it: it is an obvious rig h t o f M r. Herbst, as a colum nist, to critic ize the game and the events

that took place. It is going beyond this to which I object.

I cannot acdept his personal attack on the people, the players and coach, who partic ipated in this game. Ignoring wom en's issues, wom en’s rights, wom en’s move­ment, M r. Herbst seems to have side swiped the whole point o f the game.

W hat Notre Dame’s women's basketball consists of. in my opin­ion, is a group o f players, headed by a coach, all o f whom take seriously themselves as waell as the gave o f basketball. M ost have played fo r years and have put much tim e and work (ie. dedication) into the game and the ir personal devel­opment as well as team growth.

A fte r com peting w ith many others to make the team, these players practice several tim es a week under the direction o f the ir coach who in tu rn puts in more hours handling the team ’s adm in is­tra tive details.

Granted he may not have liked the quality o f the game and granted he may not like wom en’s basketball (this is his prerogative as a sports colum nist) , he cannot be jus tified in insu lting people’s in teg rity , to actually make fun o f those who are serious about themselves, as p lay­ers, and the game.

I f M r. Herbst feels he is ju s tified in p rin tin g th is attack then I must confess that I th ink M r. Herbst, and all tha t he stands for as a colum nist in the Observer, is a farce.

Where has the imagination gone?By Leo Hanson

Man lives in a dual environm ent. That which man has constructed, since his conquest o f the o f structure and form , we call the a rtif ic ia l or b u ilt environm ent. A ll else is term ed nature, or the natural environm ent.

W ith in the natural environm ent man encounters a succession o f in teractions and re la t io n s h ip s w h ich p o te n t ia lly a ffe c t man's personality, development and w e ll­being. The patterns o f an earth ly culture pattern our thoughts, fears and actions. For example, an ind iv idua l may be psychologically in tim ida ted by a personal fear o f an unknown en tity , such as a dark and secluded forest. Yet one senses a sense o f security w ith in the enclosure and protective te rr ito r ia lity tha t the forest yields. A palm tree in the m idst o f a desert defines a focal point which may attract a wanderlost traveler, and may im ply a sort o f psychological balance. A grassy plain is less s tim ulating than ro lling h ills or a ragged shore. A ll such factors play an im portan t role in the ecological system, nature ’ s mechanism o f harmony and balance.

Man is also responsible fo r his actions w ith in the bu ilt environm ent, which, sign ificantly , portray s im ila r functions as its natural counterpart. W ith everyth ing man builds, he requisitions a new re la tion­ship w ith the w orld in which he lives.

The University o f Notre Dame is an “ academic v illage ” in concept and form , even from its in itia l conception. W ith in the boundaries o f his m in ia ture environm ent, all life functions exist: life , work, learning, and play. Each life function plays an im portant role in the determ ination o f the v illage crite ria , and from the beginning the founders o f the University sought responses to these criteria.

As early as 1849, Father Sorin envis­ioned the Grande Avenue lined w ith trees and leading to the monument focal point, now Notre Dame Avenue and the Golden Dome, respectively. This was a deliberate response to human emotions and visual

F

P

Notre Dame silhouette before the rash of building construction following W orld W ar II [top].

The addition of the M em orial Library^ and the high rise residential dorms [bottom] revolted against an historical precedent of a subdued but formal

psychological needs. And not surpris ing ly, it was an h is torica lly French response (Versatile im ita tion) to the environm ent, since the land on which the un iversity is located was dominated by French exp lor­ers.

The site, founded on Nov. 27, 1842 by Father Sorin and company after eleven days o f explorations, is a reaction to a natural amenity (St. M a ry ’ s Lake) which typ ica lly serves as the source o f human settlements.

Thus, Notre Dame duLac began i t ’ s progression o f growth. From a m elting pot of p lanning ideas, includ ing those o f Jefferson at V irg in ia , and French Baroque and English Garden trad itional beliefs, gradually the campus took form .

An adm in istra tion bu ild ing , bu ilt in 1879 to replace an earlie r one destroyed by fire , a gothic revival church, and a music hall (now W ashington Ha ll) form ed the firs t triad o f bu ild ings which dom inated the landscape. This set the precedent fo r the central complex, is which the main bu ild ing served as vertex and link between an academic line o f bu ild ings: M usic

(W ashington H a ll), Science (LaFortune) and technology (Hoynes Hall) and the re lig ious and residential side, W alsh, Sorin and Sacred Heart Church. The quadrangle was enclosed on the south by a post office and Porter’ s House. Old Door Road crossed the axial avenue at the entrance, now he center o f South Quad.

The central quadrangle incorporated functiona lly , aesthetically and psycholo­gically sound ideas. The urban landscape was s tim ula ting ; re la tive ly at ease of perception; it in troduced dynamic tension and a sense of movement; it resolved that tension through the use o f a focal point at one end; it created a sense o f enclosure w ith in the space, by the bu ild ings and the trees. Perhaps no lesser significance was the fact that it provided a space suitable for the life -activ ities o f a collegiate environ­ment, a llow ing fo r an inward focus and an emphasis on social communication.

As the Un iversity continued to expand, s im ila r ideas were pursued by the develop­ers o f the re lig ious com m unity. The private, te rr ito ria l spaces assumed by the m orphological form s o f D illon and A lum n i Halls (rem iniscent o f Oxford and Cam­bridge) and the triad o f Lyons, Howard and M O rrissey, expound fu rth e r on creative urban explo itations. The South Quadran­gle at least equals the success achieved in the central core complex, as a planning un it. The space is more linear, though less clim atic, and more de fin itive and enclo­sing. And, w ith the exception o f the modern bu ild ings o f Pangborn, Fisher, O ’Shaughnessey and the Bookstore, the bu ild ing textures are diverse and enrich­ing. As a focal po int o f activ ity , it is possibly w ithou t too many equals w ith in these United States.

S till, m ysteriously, the quadrangle turns it back upon the lake, a non-figura l but s till sym bolically im portan t element. Chairman K errick o f the A rch itecture departm ent fought fo r lake orientation, but managed only to incorporate the Lyons H a ll arch in the design.

This, a blessing in disguise, is perhaps one o f the most dram atic urban expres­sions on campus. The arch serves as a f l prelude, in e ither d irection, between t h e # natural and b u ilt environm ents, it is a ^ dynamic transitiona l form , which frames o r™ prefigures the ensuing experience. #

S till intense are other cam pus-planning m phenomena in which a sense o f u rb a n ? drama is portrayed w ith in certain pa ths™ and nodes, such as the linear, axial £ progression which precedes the a rc h ite c -# ture bu ild ing (the O ld L ibrary), w ith i t s ^ monumental en try. The in te rm it te n t# appearance and disappearance o f t h e # Sacred Heart steeple and the dome, t h e ^ essence o f the trad itiona l Notre D a m e ^ village-scape, as one proceeds around t h e # many walks around the campus h ig h lig h t# th is urban expression. a

Such excitem ent, un fortunate ly was lo s t , ^ when the planners o f modern Notre D a m e # w ent to work. I t seemed they lost c o n ta c t# or fee ling fo r all the environm ental a n d ^ psychological energies, which had been™ the historical precedent but now b e c a m e # lost in a morass o f extreme functionalism . # In cities and towns, th is a rc h ite c tu ra l^ boredom has enriched pathologies such a s # isolation, aggression, insecurity, m o n o t-© ony. #

According to A .E . Parr, sociologist, " A s * we make surroundings more and m ore™ un ifo rm , we ll-regu lated and p re d ic ta b le ,# we force the adventurous to resort to m o re # and more irregu la r, unprem editated o r^» rebellious behaviour.”

W hile social aggression is perhaps not a # serious problem at Notre Dame, t h e # creation o f a suitable collegiate environ- ment is. How much a P lanner or Grace or a # Stanford-Keenan detracts from the a tm o s -© phere o f the campus is perhaps w o r th # considering. But the lack o f im petus is a ^ , de fin ite consideration.

The clim ax o f Father Sorin’s im a g in a -# tion , the grande entrance, is now s o m e -# what lost behind a guard house, a busa& station, the M orris Inn, the Post O ffice. An^®

blandness and lack o f response to any external c riteria , save for the functiona lity o f the automobile. The abberation of O ’Shaughnessy H a ll is an even greater addition to this m ysterious and sudden fa ilure o f p lanning. Even the m inor details, such as the countless silver w ire poles which augment the natural aesthetic expression o f the “ v illa g e " green detract from the attractiveness o f the campus.

The cold and sterile new “ crossroads area" was obviously designed fo r the sum m ertim e, although most ND students attend school du ring the w in ter. This contradiction is fu rthe r continued by the statement "T h e trees w ill eventually grow and hide the surrounding bu ild in gs ” . I f the build ings were in teresting to begin w ith , such a need would not arise. Again historical precedent (fo r example, Place du Vosges in Paris) should have been heeded.

Future plans only extend the modern failures, and fu rthe r the delocalization,

atmosphere which earlier planning concepts idealiz- I ■ I—,ed. The result is anomic - there is no clear sense X P -----of direction or dramatic relief.

sterilization and insens itiv ity o f functiona l­ism which has stagnated and destroyed envigorating atmosphere upon which the un ive rs ity ’ s foundations exist. Insens itiv i­ty to and overutilization o f m aterials, lack o f crea tiv ity in design, pseudo-m orphologi­cal form response, and ignoranc eor denial o f u rban /h is to rica l precedent are arch itec­tural abberations which contribu te to urban problems in the design o f th is campus.

Future considerations should keep these concepts at hand. As the un ivers ity expands. Functionalism is not a glass-en­closed shelter from the cold or heat; architectural c rea tiv ity is not a plastic flow er bed on e ither side o f an entrance to a hotel lobby; and certa in ly a huge mural attached to the main facade o f a bu ild ing , is not an aesthetic response much beyond naive.

Once these de fin itions are mastered, then perhaps responses to more human needs m ight evolve, naturally.

Go AskBy David O ’KeefeAlice In WonderlandDirected by Bud Townsend S tarring K ris tin e de Belle

A lice, in the real world, is a v irg in lib ra rian who refuses to go out w ith Tom because he likes “ tha t kind o f g ir l , ” whereas A lice is saving herself for m ar­riage. She sings about wanting to grow up again a ll over when all o f sudden the W hite Rabbit appears and leads her through the looking glass in to W onderland.

W onderland is something else again. I t ’ s a forest infested w ith all sorts o f neurotic erotics. The M ad H atter is an exh ib ition is t. H um pty Dum pty fe ll o ff the wall and has been rendered im potent. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum are a charm ing young couple that fro lic in the glade wearing nothing but goofy litt le beanies. The Queen o f Hearts is a Nazi-nympho-Amazon-lesbian type, and the K ing is a black stud.

A lice gets a lesson in sex from each character she meets, stopping on occasion to sing a song. (Exam ple: She encounters a young maiden and a kn igh t copulating in a meadow and belts out, “ W hat's a nice g ir l like you doing on a kn igh t like th is?” ) And in the end, she is liberated. She returns to the real world relieved o f all her archaic notions about sex and is able to enjoy making love w ith Tom and rid ing horses w h ile topless, all w ith a to ta lly clear conscience.

W ell, th a t’ s all very we ll, I im agine. But in the end, Alice In Wonderland is like w atching Henny Youngm an deliver one-

It's not a ll th a t©liners w ith his pants down, funny and hardly sexy. #

Producer B ill Osco seems to h a v e ^ assigned h im se lf a d iff ic u lt task in life . H e™ appears to be dedicated to making a m o v ie © that successfully combines sex and c o m e -# dy. A fte r Flesh Gordon and now Alice, t h e ^ search very de fin ite ly has not been™ completed. W hether or not it can be d o n e # is doub tfu l. Laughter and lust seem to b e # inherently irreconcilable in such great ̂ degree, although they worked to g e th e r# ra ther nicely on a less intense level in m o r e # than one film (Lovers and Other Strangers # and Play It Again, Sam are good e x a m -^ pies). #

The sex in Alice is as bad as the p u n s # and one-liners. A fte r H um pty D u m p ty ^ suffers his calam ity, A lice takes p ity on _ h im and perform s a charitable service tha t # restores his manhood. A ll the w h ile h e # lam ents tha t he has been reduced to “ a # shell o f a m an” and insists that people# always said o f h im , “ H e’s a good egg.” © H is costume, and all the others, look l i k e # M rs. Osco sewed them in her spare tim e, a One b rig h t spot is the music, which i s ” surp ris ing ly good and gives a live ly pace t o © the whole th ing . #

The X -ra ting isn ’ t as serious as it ^ sounds. O m itting some o f the unnecessar- # ily lewd scenes probably would h a v e © earned it an innocent R. In any event, # Alice In Wonderland is only a m ild ly a offensive diversion and enterta in ing in its ™ own way.

PLAINS, Ga. AP - President-elect C arte r's kid brother. B illy , lost the Plains m ayoral election to the tow n 's barber Monday by a 90-71 m arg in.

'I th ink 1 cost him the election, " said the more successful po litic ian in the fam ily.

“ I 'm sorry you lo s t," the Presi­dent-elect to ld his 39-year-old- b rot her at a w in-or-lose celebration in B illy C arte r's service station next door to the city hall.

“ People in Plains p ro b a b ly they've got enough Carters w in ­ning elections.

Bills Carter lost to A .L. Blanton, \\ ho is also an air tra ffic contro ller. He won a second two-year term in the S50-a-month job.

I th ink it 's tough w ith a bro ther who's P res iden t," the President-elect said. “ I th ink I cost him the election. He would have made a great m ayo r."

When the two men firs t faced each other in a mayoral election two years ago. Carter lost by six votes, although he has sometimes claimed he lost by only four.

B illy Carter had expected day­long rains to boost his chances, te lling reporters that the weather would not deter beeAdrinkers from v is iting the polls. B illv Carter's service station, next door to city hall, is one o f only three establish­ments in Plains that sell beer.

The younger Carter, who cam­paigned on a p la tform o f preserv­ing this c ity o f 683 much as it was before his bro ther was elected, began dispensing free beer to his friends and supporters at the service station as soon as the polls closed.

B illy Carter's campaign mana­ger. Leon Johnson, a local contrac­tor. took the defeat stoically, saying “ We fouled up. '

But B illy Carter h im se lf was not especially gracious.

"I see Plains going s tra igh t to h e ll. " he said before television cameras.

“ Is it took late to save the tow n?" someone asked.

"I th ink it is probably too la te ," B illy Carter replained. “ I f the peoplcwant it to go to hell. I ' l l back out and let it g o ."

“ Do you th ink your bro ther did all he could tohelp? ' the younger Carter was asked. He rep lied w ith one word: “ N o ."

Earlier in the day, however, he acknowledged that the only vote he was counting on for sure was that o f J im m y Carter.

B illv Carter has campaigned on a

p la tfo rm o f a v o id in g d ra s tic changes in his home town, invaded by tourists, real estate operators and entrepreneurs since his bro­ther was elected President.

W alking from the Carter peanut warehouse to city ha ll, Carter engaged in a sp irited exchange w ith reporters:Q. Do you have aspirations for h igher office?

A. Yes. I 'm going to bu ild an office upstairs. C ity ha ll has one floor so I can live a litt le higher.Q. Are the Carters looking to bu ild a p o lit ic a l e m p ire lik e the Kenncdys?A. No, we are not.Q. You don’ t plan to use th is as a stepping stone?A. I imagine it w ill be stepping down, i f anything.

Q. Do you plan to maintain the culture o f your city?A . I 'm not sure Plains has any culture.Q. W ill you seek federal funds?A . You always seek federal funds.

Q. W ill you hold regular press conferences?

A . A t least one every two or three years anyway.Q. W hat about appointing some of the good old boys for some o f the posts you 're going to have?A. I ' l l only appoint friends and supporters. I w ill not appoint the best man for the job.

Bethlehem has busy post office

Olga Korbut dazzled the ACC audience last night with her gymnastic prowess, (photo by Dominick Yocius].

B E T H LE H E M * Conn. A P -Jean Majauskas and three part-tim e clerks are working overtim e in the tiny post offfice. They w ill mail 150,000 cards and letters--200,000 i f the weather stays good-during th is busy tim e o f year in the litt le town o f Bethlehem.

“ We do as much in three weeks as the rest o f the y e a r," said Majauskas, Beth lehem ’s postm is­tress.

Thousands o f persons v is it th is sm all town in werstern Connecticut du ring the three weeks before Christm as to mail the ir holiday greetings w ith the Bethlehem post­mark and something extra- sea­sonal sketches stamped on each envelope. Others send boxes of cards for m ailing from Bethlehem.

“ We also get quite a few requests for the Dec. 25 postmark for collectors. They send self-ad­

dressed envelopes," said M ajaus­kas.

Bethlehem, Conn., is a Christ- mas-card scene th is tim e o f year w ith its oak and maple trees, three churches and snow covered land­scape.

Earl Johnson was postmaster in 1938 when extra service, the rub- berstapped Christm as scenes, was begun, Johnson, now 72, said he wanted som ething extra fo r his own Christm as cards. W ord got out and requests began pouring in.

Today, the postmark and 32 tw o - in c h - b y - tw o - in c h ru b b e r stamps are laid out on a table in the lobby o f the post office for people to im p rin t the ir own cards. A rtists and others have donated designs that include the tow n 's three churches, Santa Claus, the V irg in M arv w ith the Christ ch ild and

Christm as bells.For years, Johnson paid $150 for

the stamps, but two years ago the Postal Service began picking up the b ill to prom ote goodw ill.

“ I live here in to w n ," said Jean Sm ith, as she stamped designs of her church, the F irst Church o f Bethlehem , on le tte rs she was m ailing abroad. "T h is is our c h u rc h ," she said, po in ting to the im p rin t she had ju s t made on a card she was sending to Greece.

Stuart W ilson Jr. and his wife, Carolyn, drove 25 m iles from the ir home in Southburv to stamp and m ail a packet o f cards.

"W e 'v e been making the trip since 1965." said W ilson. "Peopoc usually w rite us a le tte r com m ent­ing on how pleased they arc with the stamped envelope w ith Bethle­hem on it.

Doar, who was counsel for the House Judiciary Com m itte when it voted to recommend the House impeach, form er President Richard M . Nixon, has been reported under consideration to the U.S. attorney general.

Bergland, a close po litica l asso da te o f Vice President-elect W alter F. M ondale, is reported ly being considered for secretary o f agricu l­ture.

On another subject, Carter said he planned to meet la ter w ith Charles K irbo, the A tlan ta attorney and close personal friend who is researching the form o f the pardon Carter has promised to issue to V ictnam -cra dra ft evaders.

Carter said he has not decided whether to expand the pardon to other categories o f violators.

Kentucky down

LOS ANGELES AP - Com­m issioner Bowie Kuhn warned on M onday that baseball could be in trouble i f the trend o f the recent re-entry dra ft continues and affects

Notre Dame winsby W in PalmerSports W rite r

Notre Dame wom en's basketball team topled the women from St. M ary 's by a score o f 56-35 Saturday afternoon at the A .C .C Last year St. M ary 's edged Notre Dame twice in exciting contests, but Saturday it was all the Irish women as they forced SMC in to many turnovers.

SMC scored firs t as Suzanne Davis hit a short jum per. Both teams appeared nervous at this point as they were playing in front o f a fa ir ly large crowd, many of whom had remained from the e a r lie r N o tre D a m e -V a lp ra is o game, but the teams soon settled down. M artha K e lly , an early substitu tion fo r St. M ary 's , h it a couple o f jum pers early in the game to deadlock the game at eight. Notre Dame then roared ahead as Carola Cum m ing and M argaret M cM lnam in each h it three buc­kets. It was a lead that Notre Dame was never to lose as they led 20-13 at ha lftim e.

Both teams came out fired up in the second half. St. M a ry ’s was led by the shooting o f Kathy Cullen, nancy Norwalk and m arth K e lly who was the high scorere fo r SMC for the game w ith 10 points. Notre Dame, however, taking fu ll advan­tage o f the ir height advantage outscored SMC by a score o f 36-22 in the second half. Pat M eyer and Carol La lly, who were high scorers for the Irish w ith 16 and 13 points respectively were outstanding in the second ha lf as the Irish b u ilt a com m anding lead to w in the firs t game o f th e ir season.

the com petitive balance o f the game.

“ Some o f the clubs, the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox specifica lly, got s tronger,” Kuhn told delegates to the 75th annual convention. " I t is fa ir to say that some harm was done to the com petitive balance.

“ E ight o f the top free agents were signed by sun belt teams. This also could cause trouble, affecting the com petitive ba lance."

He failed to blame the teams but obviously was re ferring to the Californ ia Angels, who spent more than $4 m illion s igning Don Baylor,

Joe Rudi and Bobby Grich; San Diego, which picked up Gene Tenace and Rollie F ingers from the Oakland A ’s; Texas, which got Bert Campaneris and Doyle Alexander, and A tlan ta, which wound up w ith outfie lder Gary M atthews.

"T h e cost was higher than expected ," the commissioner said, re ferring to the more than $20 m illion paid fo r 14 o f the leading free agents. “ This is certain to bring about pressures fo r cost- cu tting and increasing revenues."

He said he did not expect a dram atic change in ticket prices although there certa in ly would be some hikes - a few having already occurred. He said the average ticket price in 1976 was $3.40.

K uhn said it may be several years before anyone can draw a defin ite conclusion over the impact o f the re-entry dra ft but he added op tim istica lly : "O v e r all we have reason for exh ilaration and we have reason fo r concern, bu t we have lived w ith concerns fo r 107 years. I remain bu llish on baseball. I remain bu llish on baseball’ s fu ­tu re .”

The com m issioner stated that more people watched baseball du r­ing the past year - 44,437,000 in the majors and m inors - than ever before.

B L O O M IN G T O N , In d . AP- Guards Jay Shidler and Larry Johnson scored 20 points apiece Monday n igh t and f if th ranked Kentucky, bursting to a 21-point f irs t ha lf lead, rolled to a 66-51 college victory over No. 4 Indiana.

It was the firs t home loss fo r the defending NCAA champions in three years and marked the firs t tim e in four years they have lost two games in a row. Kentucky is now 3-0, w h ile Indiana, coming o ff a 59-57 loss to Toledo, dropped to 1 - 2 .

The Hoosiers, h ittin g just 32 percent o f the ir shots in the firs t half, were outplayed by the quick­er, more experienced W ildcats from the outset.

A fte r an early basket by 6-foot-

11, A ll-A m erican center Kent Ben­son, Indiana went nearly seven m inutes w ithou t another fie ld goal, and errors hurt the Hoosiers throughout the game.

Even w ith Kentucky's big men, Rick Robey and M ike Phillips, both 6-10, on the bench in foul trouble, the W ildcats s till dominated the Indiana team o f mostly freshmen and sophomores.

Kentucky never tra iled in the game and bolted from a 2-2 tie to a 36-15 advantage late in the firs t period. Indiana could get no closer than 13 points several times in the second half.

Benson led the Hoosiers w ith 21 points, w h ile Jack Givens added 18 fo r the W ildcats.

Former-Celtic empathizes wN EW YORK AP - B ill Russell,

who led the Boston Celtics to 11 cham pionships in the late 1950’s and 1960’s, says he can empathize w ith Dave Cowens, the all-star center who packed his bags and left the National Basketball Association champions earlie r this year.

"W h a t he did m ight have a very sim ple explanation - the man is tired o f playing and he m ight not enjoy it an ym ore ," said Russell, now coach and general manager of the Seattle Supersonics.

" I t happens," Russell added. " I t d id n 't happen to me because I enjoyed the game too much. But 1 can 't blame him . I did fina lly leave and go to C aliforn ia . Only it took me a lot lo n g e r."

It took Russell 13 seasons before he le ft the Celtics, whom he served as both an a ll-p ro center and coach.

D uring that tim e he earned a reputation as an independent man, one who preferred to th ink th ings through fo r h im se lf ra ther than go along w ith the crowd.

“ I am not nice to people ju s t to be n ice ,” he said in describ ing his s ingu lar personality. " I don’ t sm ile ju s t to sm ile. I don’ t cooperate ju s t to cooperate. I owe nothing to anybody - except myself.I must be my own m an .”

That no-obligation philosophy is reflected in Russell’ s a ttitude to ­wards Cowen s departure from the Celtics. He feels i t ’ s im portant to note that since leaving the team on Nov. 10, Cowens has not been draw ing his reported $280,000-a- year salary.

“ It would have been wrong of

him to leave i f he was s till getting pa id ,” said Russell, whose Sonics were beaten by the New York Knicks 103-96 at Madison Square Garden Saturday night. “ But he isn 't. Does he owe something to the Celtics? Only i f they pay h im ."

Cowens did not give specific reasons fo r taking his unprecedent­ed leave o f absence, but the 6-foot-9 star did say he had lost his enthusiasm fo r the game and fe lt he could no longer give 100 percent. A ll the outside pressures had drained o ff too much o f the fire and determ ination which were his tradem ark.

That, too, struck a fam ilia r note to Russell, who refused to sign autographs because he fe lt that the ritua l was too impersonal, but who now spends much tim e in the o ff-sea son spe ak ing to you th groups.

“ Dave plays the game w ith great in tensity , and I guess he fe lt there were too many th ings tak ing away from that in tensity , d ra in ing it o f f , ” Russell said. “ 1 can under­stand tha t fee ling. I d idn ’ t leave because I liked playing too much. B ut I can’ t blame him for doing what he d id .”

ND looks for fourth against Wildcatsby Paul Stevenson

Sports W rite r

There 's no one superstar on the Notre Dame basketball team this year, jus t a well balanced attack. The players seem to alternate scoring honors, w ith a d iffe rent ind iv idua l pacing the Irish in each contest. The cagers’ record stands at 3-0 as they prepare to host Northwestern ton igh t.

Tex W in te r and his Northwcsi- tcrn squad come to South Bend w ith a 2-2 season mark. Last Wednesday in Evanston, the W ild ­cats were downed by eighteenth ranked DePaul 75-73 in overtim e. Northwestern rebounded from that loss last Saturday as they edged Ohio U n iversity 73-71.

B ill M cK inney, a six foot guard, v. ill be s tarting his fourth year for the W ildcats. He was the leading scorer on last year's squad w ith 19.8 p .p .g . and also became N o rth ­western 's a ll-tim e leading scorer w ith 1384 total points.

M c K i n n e y , N o r t h w e s t e r n ’ s sparkplug, scored 37 points against the Irish two years ago. In that contest, Notre Dame emerged v ic ­torious 100-84. "N orthw este rn is a very young team w ith a balanced scoring a tta ck ." Head Coach " b ig ­

g e r" Phelps commented. "M c K in ney is one o f the finest guards we w ill face all yea r.”

Jo in ing M cK inney in the back- court is senior BobH ildebrand. The combo lends age to the otherwise young Northwestern squad and w ill hope to ign ite the W ildcat attack.

Pete Boesen, a 6-8 forward and M ike Cambell, a 6-10 freshman center add to the youth o f the W ildcat team. Boesen has been a steady perform er thus far this season, w h ile Cambell is coming on strong as a freshm an. In the overtim e loss to DePaul, Campbell responded w ith two o f the four Northwestern fie ld goals in the overtim e period. His youth does not seem to deter him from perform ing in clutch situations.

This W ildcat squad is young and talented and could catch Notre Dame off-guard i f the Irish happen to be looking ahead to Saturday’s clash w ith UCLA in Paulie Pavilion.The Irish cannot afford to glance

ahead; the W ildcats came close to dealing a strong DePaul team a loss and could give Notre Dame the same scare i f the Irish are already feeling the w arm th and sunshine of Los Angeles.

Last Saturday’ s contest w ith Valparaiso found Bruce Flowers tu rn ing in his best performance o f

the young season. Flowers led the Irish in rebounds w ith 12 and was th ird in scoring w ith 14 points.

Freshman Rich Branning direc­ted the Notre Dame attack w ith 18 points and five assists. Branning has added to the Irish trad ition , being ju s t another o f the many cagers called upon to perform in the ir freshman year.

Toby K n igh t was the second highest scorer fo r the cagers against Valpo last Saturday. The "super-sub" was called on to start

in that game, replacing Dave Batton who was sidelined w ith the flu . K n igh t is averaging 14 p.p .g ., second only to Duck W illiam s (16.7 p .p .g .), and is heading the squad in caroms w ith 28.

W illiam s has logged the most playing tim e fo r the Irish and has h it 48 percent from the fie ld to lead the Irish in total points w ith 50. W illiam s added ten points in the Notre Dame victory over Valparai­so. being the fourth person to break into double figures inthe contest.

Notre Dame leads the series against Northwestern w ith a 59-21- 1 advantage in the riva lry . The Irish w ill hope to increase the ir w ins in the series to 60 while im proving the ir season standing to 4-0 before trave lling to Los Angeles to battle the Bruins.

Freshm an Rich Brann play as the Ir ish meet

ing w ill be try in g to con tinue his exce llent N o rthw este rn ton igh t in the ACC.
