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.

Southern Illinois dominated competition throughout, turning in first or second place finished in every event except floor exer- cise, where they took a third. Michigan started fast, but ran into difficulty on the sidehorse, high bar, and parallel bars, and as a result were deprived of a second- place finish. The Wolverines got off to a fan- tastic start in floor exercise, where Dave Jacobs came up with his finest performance of the season. earning a 9.35.

The high bar, usually one of the Wolverines strongest events, turned into a nightmare as Mike Sasich missed his routine and Scott Paris and Chris Vanden- Broek turned in sub-par perform- ances. Michigan gained some solice on the trampoline where ever-consistent Jacobs sparkled again with a 9.5 effort, earning him first-place. Wayne Miller and Vic Conant backed up Jacobs by' placing sixth sand seventh respec- tively, to give Michiganthe top spot in team tramp competition. Although Michigan faltered on the parallel bars, and had trouble in vaulting, they remained tied with Iowa going into the final event.

The defeat marred the acting coaching debut of Red Wing great G ordie Howe, who ran the club while regular Coach Sid Abel watched from the press box. Howe, was sidelined by a sore shoulder. the NHL's all-time scoring champ, Martin, a former Red Wing, snapped a 3-3 tie at 11:03 of the final period when he whipped his own rebound past Detroit goalie Roger Crozier. Then Goldsworthy,, a rockie, gave the Bruins a cushion goal at 11:43, beating Crozier from close in. * * * Canadians Whip N.Y.

The defeat stretched the slump- ing Rangers' winless string to nine games and dropped them into a second place tie with Toronto, just one point ahead of the Cana- diens. Ted Harrie set up the tying and winning goals for Montreal with blue line, slap shots which Balon and Richard deflected past New York goalie Ed Giacomin. Richard tied the score at 2-2 with his goal at 12:48 and Balon's goal put Montreal in front to stay at 13:22.

Dave Keon and Red Kelly scored two goals apiece for the Leafs, who blew a 3-0 first period lead before breaking loose. The victory moved the Leafs into a tie for second place with New York which lost to Montreal. PAUL CAME LET TAILOR ALTERATIONS FOR MEN AND WOMEN 1103 S. University 663-4381 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. *r Line Scores CHAPMAN COL. 001 101 002-5 11 1 MICHIGAN 100 000 420-7 9 1 Sohegian, Richards (6) and Cam- mel; Kerr, Reakiewiez (8), Zepp (9) and Nelson.

Paul Lawrence defeated Jim Swift, 21-4 and 21-15 to win the singles title. Both men are Mich- igan students. In doubles play, Associate Intra- iural Director Rod Grambeau and his teammate Harry Detwiler defeated defending state title- holders Lynn Beekman and Bill Altinhof from East Lansing. The Michigan pair spotted the defend- ing champs a 21-12 victory in the first game, but roared back to gain 21-14 and 21-11 wins in the second and third matches respectively to capture the title. All players are now awaiting the national tournament to be held at Bloomington, Indiana, on April 14-15. p 4 KEITH SPICER NHL Standings W L T Pts.

YESTERDAY'S RESULTS Montreal 4, New York2 Toronto 9, Chicago 5 Boston 5, Detroit 3 TODAY'S GAMES Montreal at Chicago Chicago at Toronto Boston at New York 1 I- U 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.
