WHEATON, ILL.-They called

Not to take anything away from
Green Bay, but if there ever was
a title town U.S.A., it has to be
Carbondale, Illinois.
Carbondale today rests in the
sports limelight after Southern
Illinois captured two significant
sports championships. SIU, which
is rapidly becoming a sports pow-
erhouse, stunned the basketball
world yesterday by winning the
NIT basketball tournament in New
York, and yesterday afternoon, the
Salukis gave more than sufficient
indication that they are the class
of college gymnasts.
Southern Illinois easily won the
mideast regional at Wheaton, Il-
linois yesterday, piling up an im-
pressive 189.0 points. The regional
victory taps SIU as the overwhelm-
ing favorite to capture their sec-
ond consecutive NCAA champion-
ship two weeks hense.
The top three finishers in the
regional earned the right to travel
to the NCAA finals, held this year
in Carbondale. Iowa, who de- received scores of better than nine

Michigan started fast, but ran into
difficulty on the sidehorse, high

result were deprived of a second-

again with a 9.5 effort, earning

Fast Start
The Wolverines, in their first
inning of play of the '67 season,
tallied on a double to left by Sy-
ger and a run-producing single
by Les Tanona.
Chapman scored one each in
the third, fourth and sixth to
take the lead before Syger's blast
sealed things up for the Wolver-
ines. Michigan added a cushion in
the eighth when reliever David
Reakiewicz chased Fisher home
with a single.
Syger also collected a triple to
give him three-for-four in the
contest.
The first end of the double-
header produced one other me-
morable moment, this in a lighter
vein.
Chapman's Gary Vanammaned
clubbed one all the way to the
fence in straightaway center.
When he tried to stretch it into an
inside-the-park homer, he was
gunned down at the plate, amid
the cries of protest by the Chap-
man bench.
Over the bellowing of Chap-
man's coach Paul Deese, came a
booming voice saying: "Good call'
ump. I could have made it from
here."
The voice belonged to veteran
American League umpire John
Rice, who was calling the Cleve-
land Indians-Chicago Cubs (B)
game on an adjacent field.
Later.. .
Some two-anl-a-half hours lat-
er, the Wolverines started the sec-
ond half of their doubleheader
against highly - regarded Santa
Clara.
Behind the three-hit pitching
of Geoff Zahn, Michigan made it
a happy opening day by shutting
out the Californians, 7-0.
In the abbreviated seven inning
contest, Zahn gave up two first-
stanza singles to twins Alvin and
Albert Strane, getting off the
game. He worked out of that jam
by striking out the next batter,
and by getting Rod Austin to
ground into a double play.
From then on he breezed, not
allowing a hit until the final in-
ning.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE CLASS OF 1968
Outside of their responsibility to arrange for the class gift, the senior class officers
are, during their senior year, functionally defunct. Because of this, the elections for class
officers become popularity contests of "who is more well-liked" or "who knows more people."
While popularity reflects on some of a candidate's qualifications for an executive office, it
seems to me that unless there can be some meaning or function attached to these positions,
a rational justification for electing three officers in each college is tenuous. The problem is,
then, what can the-officers do? When it is realized that the University has more alumni than
any other school, located in various graduate and professional schools and occupations, a
possible answer to thel above question may lie in the senior class's relations with the various
alumni groups.
Graduating seniors, in applying to graduate schools and for positions in firms, often
find themselves at a disadvantage, not only in receiving strong faculty recommendations, but
especially in finding faculty members who, as in small schools, will work to present and
support a student's qualifications to an admissions committee or a personnel manager. While
personal recommendations cannot compensate for scholastic achievements, they can often
represent a crucial difference between an acceptance and a rejection.
Having spoken to representatives of the Alumni Association, I feet that there is a
strong possibility that by estabilishing better relations with alumni groups and giving them
information to understand a senior's qualifications, the alumni may be able to wield influence
and give the Michigan senior the personal advantage that the student from the small school
enjoys in strong faculty recommendations.
This proposal is, of course, of an experimental nature with may details tobe worked
out. There is, moreover, no inherent guarantee of success. At worst, though, an attempt leaves
the senior class no worse off than before. At best, it can significantly offset a disadvantage
inherent in a large school.
