It's time for a change!" -Thomas E. Dewey, campaign speech, San Francisco Sept. 21, 1944 In the recorded history of mankind there are numerous in- stances of seemingly impregnable empires brought to a sudden end. Scholars are fond of discovering exact causes for these declines, often citing economic collapse, internal dissension, and ill-equipped lead- ership as prime suspects. But the real and inevitable leveler is nothing other than time.

Heller, a former trombone player from New City, New York, laughed in his inimitable manner at his appointment last night and chortled "I knew it all the time." This fivesome represents what has been called by some the "new wave" in journalism. Their combined style is one showing the wide- spread influence of baroque, romantic, and Dada writing. Heavy on the Dada. It promises to be an exciting year under the grip of these tal- ented young editors. They will no doubt garner their fair share of muck-raking, grid picks, and controversy in the coming year. They will take over completely and gradually erase the memory and influence of Norton and His Friends. But next February the Mallet will descend once more. Dust to Dust. Howard Kohn Notre Dame Wins; Now NIT Bound NEW YORK (A) - Notre Dame was named to the National Invi- tation Tournament last night aft- er its 70-67 victory over New York University. Three other teams have been named to the tournament which opens in Madison Square Garden March 14. Fordham, Army and! Oklahoma City. This will be Notre Dame's first appearance in the tournament. The team has a 16-8 record. SCORES College Basketball Duke 50, Wake Forest 41 Miami, O. 55, Xaxier 52 Manhattan 72, ona.

Next, Huber took over and in concurrent matches captured both -esidential hall division titles. Bill Harris and Gerry Dutcher paced the "A" team to a 67-42 swamp- ing of Winchell hitting for 26 and 24 points respectively. Meanwhile, the "B" was dump- ing Allen-Rumsey 63-58, Robert White topping the scoring with 22 points. Beta Theta Pi gave Sigma Al- pha Epsilon a rough time in the Fraternity "A" division, building up a 10-point half time lead. SAE pulled out the victory, though, 38-36, as Tom Curtis and Bob Miller combined for 20 points in the second half. SAE Triumphs Agaiin Al Erskine accounted for 21 points in the SAE 42-35 tromping of Sigma Phi Epsilon for the "B" championship. Over in the pool, SAE rewrote two records on their way to a first in the fraternity swimming finals. The medlay relay team cut one second off the old mark, posting a 1:49.7 and Craig Dever hit :23.9 in the 50 yard freestyle. Bartlett-Douglas placed in ev- ery event to walk away with the quaddie championship. Winchell and Taylor houses, who tied for second, put their names in the record book at least. The former's 200 yard freestyle relay set a new mark of 1:42.2 and the latter accounted for the fastest times in the 100 and 200 yard freestyles - :53.0 and 2:07.2 respectively. T1lE VANDALS AND THE BROKENIH EADS . .. Doug Heller .Death of. a Column Head See that column headline up there? (That's the box that says "The Vandals and the Brokenheads"). It's ugly, isn't it? And you don't know what it means. Well, nobody else does either. Today, hopefully, is the last time anybody will see it. It was chosen by this past year junior staff members as a com- mon headline to last one year. A few guys thought it was "cool" and the greatest in-joke of all time. And nobody could cynically react to the humor involved, because they wouldn't get it. The thing about college students is that they're more cynical than anybody else and they don't give a damn about much more than themselves and their superiority complexes. That's the prob- lem about trying to publicize anything. The suspicion is that people would treat a normal plug about the upcoming Big Ten Swimming Championship like they react to an advertisement on television-ie., the quaddies try to outshout each other with mock shreaks and Bronx cheers, and the seniors go out and get another beer. So all you're gonna get is pictures of four divers, all of whom will be in Ann Arbor over spring break, competing in the Big Tens. They could be the best in the world. Nobody can say now whether these will even be the top four divers at the- meet. After all, Ohio State has Chuck Knorr and Wisconsin has Julian Krug. The reason these four in particular are shown is that three go to Indiana and Fred Brown goes to Michigan. They represent the chances of their respective teams to win the meet. The feeling here is that Indiana has a 75 per cent chance, Michigan has a 25 per cent chance, and nobody else has any. In a day or two, the times and cost of the three-day meet will be announced. Talk about cynics. 4 Doug Heller Bob Lees Bill Levis THE NEW DAILY SENIOR SPORTS EDITORS take the defen sive with a 1-1-3 alignment.
