Tonight's basketball game not-
withstanding, Michigan's Dave
Strack (0-4) and Michigan State's
John Benington (2-3) share a
common history.
Both of their basketball nu-
merals have been retired at their
respective universities.
Strack's "33" was enshrined in
1966 when Cazzie Russell gradu-
ated from Michigan, and Ben-
ington's "16" was laid to rest in
1955 when Bill Russell graduated
from San Francisco.
Both have won Big Ten cham-
pionships, Strack's latest in 1966
and Benington's in 1967.

Big Ten's best scoring team, av-
eraging 94.5 points, 20 ahead of
Wisconsin's 74.5 pace. The Buck-
eyes also are tops in rebounding
with 49.8 per game against Wis-
consin's 37.8.
Illinois, surprising many experts
after being rocked by last win-
ter's slush fund scandal, confronts
Iowa with the league's best defen-
sive record, an average yield of
only 59.0. Hawkeye star Sam Wil-
liams is third best conference
scorer with a 28.5 average.

this season's teams fall well be-
low past standards.
Tom (The Stick) Lick is typi-
cal of Benington's problem chil-
dren. Gangling, skinny, and rub-
bery, Lick nevertheless is the tall-
est man on the team.
In a pre-season press release,
Benington called Lick "the man
who's got to lead the team in re-
bounds." Lick doesn't. He doesn't
even play much anymore, sitting
out the entire 86-81 Michigan
State victory against Michigan
three weeks ago.
Heywood Edwards came off the
bench with less than 12 minutes
to go and with the Spartans
trailing to direct a comeback that
afternoon. Edwards has always
been a formidable nemesis for
Michigan.
But, according to Benington,
"he is physically unable to play
more than ten minutes a game."
Sophomore Set
Spelling Edwards will be either
Jim Gibbons or Lloyd Ward, two
sophomores who caught fire in
Michigan State's recent upset of
Northwestern.

Some politician in a more lucid moment made the state-

Tonight in East Lansing, it's time for the Michigan cagers to
pull up a chair.
I suppose it seems rather ludicrous to talk about tonight's
Michigan-Michigan State game as a pivotal clash, especially since
both teams are wallowing in the Big Ten depths. But tonight the
Wolverines can confirm or refute the oft-quoted statement, "We have
no place else to go but up."
It's easy to refer back to the so-called Cazzie Russell era when
every game took on national significance. Now, that period seems an-

is, traditionally Wolverine fans aren't anything. They nod quiet
assent in victory and get up and leave in defeat. But last Sat-
urday they showed emotion and a true understanding of basket-
ball, or, at least, of refereeing. And I'm sure they vowed to come
back.
Tonight the Wolverines must show whether losing is a habit.
There might be a better place for it, as the Spartans have been
practically invincible at Jennison Field House for the past three
seasons. Admittedly the game won't be for the Big Ten title and it's
rather doubtful that Michigan will be playing a game with that
much importance the rest of the season.
The game will be locally televised on Channel 9, so, basket-
ball fans, let's all pull up a chair before the tube and see where
we stand.

THE SPREAD-EAGLE OF TECHNOLOGY
AT GRUMMAN
Ranges from inner to outer space
Grumman has special interest for the graduating engineer and scientist seeking the widest spread of technology for his
skills. At Grumman, engineers are involved in deep ocean technology...engineers see their advanced aircraft designs
proven daily in the air over Vietnam, and soon... in outer space, the. Grumman LM (Lunar Module) will land the astro-
nauts on the lunar surface. Grumman, situated in Bethpage, L.I. (30 miles from N.Y.C.), is in the cultural center of
activity. Universities are close at hand for those who wish to continue their studies. C.C.N.Y., Manhattan College, New
York University, Pratt Institute, Columbia University, State University at Stony Brook, Polytechnic Institute of Brook-
lyn, Hofstra University and Adelphi College are all within easy distance. The surroundings are not hard to take. Five
beautiful public golf courses are in Bethpage-two minutes from the plant. White sand beaches stretch for miles along
the Atlantic (12 minutes drive); The famed sailing reaches of Long Island Sound are only eleven. miles away.
The informal atmosphere is.a Grumman tradition, matched by an equally hard-nosed one of turning out some of the

to land the astronauts

... if you are stimulated by the prospect
of undertaking truly significant
assignments in your field, working in
its most advanced regions.
... if you are attracted by the
opportunity to contribute directly and
importantly to the security of our nation.,
.. if you want to share optimum
facilities and equipment, including one
of the world's foremost computer/ EDP
installations, in your quest for a
stimulating and satisfying career.
The National Security Agency is
responsible for designing and
developing "secure" communications
systems and EDP devices to transmit,
receive and process vital information.
The mission encompasses many
aspects of communications, computer
(hardware and software) technology,
and information recording and storage
. .. and provides a wealth of career
opportunities to the graduate engineer
and mathematician.
ENGINEERS will find work which is
performed nowhere else ... devices
and systems are constantly being
developed which are in advance of any
outside the Agency. As an Agency
engineer, you will carry out research,
design, development, testing and
evaluation of sophisticated, large-scale
cryptocommunications and EDP
systems. You may also participate in
related studies of electromagnetic
propagation, upper atmosphere
phenomena, and solid state devices
using the latest equipment for
advanced research within NSA's fully
instrumented laboratories.
MATHEMATICIANS define,
formulate and solve complex
communications-related problems.
Statistical mathematics, matrix algebra,
and combinatorial analysis are but a
few of the tools applied by Agency
mathematicians. Opportunities for
contributions in computer sciences and
theoretical research are also offered.
Continuing your Education?
NSA's graduate study program may
permit you to pursue two semesters of
full-time graduate study at full salary.
Nearly all academic costs are borne by
NSA, whose proximity to seven
universities is an additional asset.
Salaries and Benefits
Starting salaries, depending on
education and experience, range from
$8,000 to $13,500, and increases
follow as you assume additional
responsibility. Policies relating to
vacations, insurance and retirement are
liberal, and you enjoy the advantages
of Federal employment without Civil
Service certification.
Another benefit is the NSA location,
between Washington and Baltimore,
which permits your choice of city,
suburban or country living and allows
easy access to the Chesapeake Bay,
ocean beaches, and other summer and
winter recreation areas.
