NCAA regionals
begin
By RAY O'HARA
While the unanticipated presence
of Michigan in 'the Mid-East Re-
gional threatens disaster for that
tourney's other participants this
week, the NCAA has been quietly
pursuing the grim task of selecting
final-round contestants in three
other unheralded regional tourna-
men.
Facing the Mid-East Regional
1 survivor in the semi-final round of
the' NCAA, tournament in Greens-
boro, N.C., on March 23 will be
the winner of the Mid-Western Re-
gional. Four contenders - Creigh-
ton, Oral Roberts, Kansas and
Louisville-will vie for the honor
this weekend on the Oral Roberts
campus in Tulsa. Kansas meets
Creighton and Oral Roberts hosts
Louisville.
Many observers feel that the
' Mid-West is the weakest of the
four regional play-off s since
none of the participating teams
are highly ranked nationally. Not
so, contends Louisville coach
Denny Crum, who explains that,
"Most of the publicity is center-
ed on the East and West coasts,
so naturally those teams get

more recognition and the polls
rate them higher."
Mid-West watchers expect a run-
ning match to develop between
Louisville and Oral Roberts, two
short-but-quick squads. The Kan-
sas-Creighton clash, pitting two:
higher-rated teams against one an-
other, should be more placid. Win-
ners of these preliminaries will;
collide on Saturday afternoon.
Providence College has the du-
bious distinction of being the first
team to challenge North Carolina
State in the Wolfpack's den in
Raleigh, N.C.
Despite the presence on his team1
of All-Americans Marvin Barnes
and ° Kevin Stacom, Providence
coach Dave Gavitt admits that his
Friars will have to play "near-
perfect basketball" to skin the
Wolf pack.
High-powered N.C. State, led
by two-timerAll-American fr-
ward David Thompson, will be
supported from tip-off to buzzer
by thousands of screaming Caro-
lina partisans who are itching itr
a rematch with UCLA, the cnly
team to defeat the Wolfpack this
season.
In the other Eastern regional
b r a c k e t, surprising Pittsburgh
takes on even more surprising
Furman in a game which only a
foolish few anticipated. Furman,

Out West, per en n ia1 kill-joy
UCLA will probably be up to its
old tricks in Tucson this weekend
with Dayton first on the Bruin
menu. UCLA mentor John Wooden
is a ny th i ng but overconfident,
though.
"Any team that makes it to
the regionals has a chance to
beat any other team," the canny
Purdue graduate claims. Wooden
added, "Dayton is capable of
beating anyone, including us."
Notre Dame found out what hap-
pens to teams who underestimate
Dayton when the Flyers knocked
off the Irish by 17 points recently.
Nevertheless, Wooden had a word
for the wise: "I think we're in
better condition now than at any
time since Walton got hurt (Jan
7). He is completely recovered
now."
New Mexico and San Francisco
collide in the other Western Re-
gional game. The sharp-shooting
New Mexico Lobos found them-
selves on top of the WAC with a
21-6 record after the regular sea-
son and expect trouble against an-
other Cinderella team. The Dons
won 11 of their last 12 outings, af-
ter starting the season with a gray
7-7 skein.
If Michigan makes it. past the
regionals, do any of these teams
have a chance of stopping the
Wolverine juggernaut? Realistical-
ly, yes, but it's interesting to note
that even John Wooden refuses to
predict victory for his Bruins,
should they clash with the Maize
and Blue.

The purpose of this course will be to explore what
happens as a classic story travels from region to re-
gion and from medium to medium. How do symbolic
forms evolve? How does a story keep its relevance
thrugh history? How does medium shape content?
Scholars from several fields-art, music, literature,
philosophy, linguistics, and history-have been ask-
ed to dicuss the great Sanskrit clasic, the Rama-
yana, giving special attention to these questions.
