The indomitable Bruins, under the divine tutelage of John Wooden have dominated college basketball in the last decade in a way that no one would have ever thought possible. UCLA has won eight of the last nine NCAA tournaments including the last six in succession. Currently riding a record 66 game winning streak, UCLA has been the team to beat for na- tional honors for so long that the formerly exciting national tour- ney has been dubbed tie "UCLA Invitational" by many writers and fans. This year's aggregation of Bruins, led by center Bill Wal- ton, Larry Hollyfield, and Keith Wilkes seems to have little block- ing its path to a seventh consec- utive title since second - ranked North Carolina State is ineligible for post-season play because of recuiting violations. N. C. State, like UCLA, breez- ed by 21 straight opponents in- cluding double victories over both North Carolina and Mary- land in Atlantic Coast Confer- ence play. Pacing the Wolfpack in scoring is sophomore leaper David Thompson with 25 points per game and 7-4 center Tommy Burleson. State Coach Norm Sloan tried to arrange a matchup between his team and the Bruins in Ra- leigh but Wooden refused to play anywhere but Los Angeles and Sloan, anywhere but Raleigh. The game naturally was never booked and won't be played any- where this year. nteed foe 0 in 'Tis nice to dream since the "eligible" competition seems to be especially thin this year.

All- American Ed Ratleff anchors the hopes of the 22-1 49ers but a Long Beach scoutreported to Tarkan- ian "I'd like to say we have a chance against UCLA, but I don't think so." Minnesota has the potential to give UCLA a battle but the Go- phers have been inconsistent in Big Ten and are presently be- hind Purdue in the standings although they are fourth in the nation. mne Gophers have the physical talent to contain Walton, et al with their outstanding defensive center, Jim Brewer, 6-10 forward Ron Behagen, and 6-6 Dave Win- field at the other corner spot. In the East, four conference winners will automatically qual- ify their champions for the tour- nament and three independents will be tabbed. Most of the con- ferences have settled- into one or two horse races as a basic pic- ture of the competition can be discerned. ATLANTIC C O A S T CON- FERENCE - North Carolina or Maryland, NCAA representative determined by post-season tour- nament. SOUTHERN CONFERENCE Davidson or Furman, NCAA rep- resentative determined by post- NCAA 's season tournament. IVY LEAGUE - Penn or Princeton. MIDDLE A T L A N T I C CONFERENCE - St. Joseph's (Pa.). The three independents will be chosen from among Provid- ence (18-3), Virginia Tech (15- 3), St. John's (18-3), Syracuse (18-4), and South Carolina (17-5). The Mid-East features just six teams with four conference champs and two independents. BIG TEN - closest race in country with Purdue, Minnesota, or Indiana the likely champion. SEC - Tennessee or Alabama. OHIO VALLEY - Austin. Peay. MAC - Miami (Ohio) The two independents - Mar- quette (20-2), Jacksonville (19-4). The traditionally weak Mid- west regional will be its usual weak self this year and three conference champs and three independents will compete. SOUTHWEST - Texas Tech. MISSOURI VALLEY - Mem- phis State. BIG EIGHT - Kansas State or Colorado. The three independents (Hous- ton (18-3), Oral Roberts (20-4), Oklahoma City (17-5), Southwest Louisiana (19-2). The Far West might be some- what competitive for UCLA with Long Beach State and New Mex- ico providing about the strongest opposition. PAC-8 - UCLA BIG SKY - Weber State WESTERN ATHLETIC - New Mexico or Brigham Young. WEST COAST AA - San Fran- cisco. PACIFIC COAST AA - Long Beach State. One independent - Utah State (14-8), Denver (15-7). v v THE BIGGEST and baddest Bruin, red-haired Bill Walton, leaps high into the atmosphere to stop Washington's Lars Hansen (40), during last weeks' action. Walton will lead his intimidating UCLA teammates into the upcoming NCAA tournament where the Bruins are heavy favorites to cop their sixth straight national crown.

By BOB McGINN Michigan never had much luck in basketball until a young man from Chicago Carver high school chose to come to Ann Arbor in the fall of 1962. His name was Cazzie Russell. After two brilliant seasons in which the teams of Bilf Buntin, Oliver Darden, Larry Tregoning, Bob Cantrell, and Cazzie swept' through the Big Ten and on into the Final Round of Four in the NCAA championships before fall- ing (once to Duke, once to UCLA), the 1965-66 season dawned with only two veterans still around, Russell and Darden. After, a shaky nonconference start in which the Maize and Blue lost four times, Coach Dave Strack's club caught fire. The Big Ten campaign began and the Wol- verines beat out archrival Michi- gan State by one game for their third straight league title, winning with an 11-3 record. So it was on to Iowa City for the NCAA Mid-East Regionals and a point. As the ball went up, one a: final chance for King Cassie at the most controversial calls it the big prize.

I. kOf 3 I THE SCANDAL OF SECRECY John Wn Gardner Chairman Common Cause Former Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare One of the weird and nonsensical facts about our government - at all levels - is that much of the pub- lic's business is done in the deepest, darkest secrecy. Citizens assume that only questions of national se- curity and some aspects of criminal justice are dealt with in secret. Little do they know! Most of the time our public officials act as though the way they con- duct our business is none of our business. In 1972 roughly one-third of the Senate Pul'ic Works Committee meetings were held in secret. The figure for the Senate Agriculture Committee was 59 percent, for the House Appropriations Committee over 90 percent. The House Ways and Means Com- mittee, which drafts the laws governing every federal tax dollar you and I pay, is notoriously secretive Se- curity is so tight that even the staff assistant of a Con- gressman who is on the Committee can't attend the closed meetings. What are they hiding? All sessions of congressional committees - and records of all votes taken at such sessions - should normally be open to the public: Committees should be allowed to close a meeting only for considerations of national security or invasion of personal privacy, and the procedure for closing it should be carefully pro- tected against abuse. In the Executive Branch, virtually everyone asso- ciated with national security acknowledges that the system of classifying documents to preserve secrecy has been badly abused - all too often for the pur- pose of concealing bureaucratic error. And the zeal for secrecy extends to every government agency un- der the control of the Executive Branch. Regulatory agencies often meet behind closed doors, omit public hearings, and suppress reports the public should see. Of course, the secrecy involved is only secret-from- the-public. The special interest lobbyists know very well what goes on in those hush-hush meetings. Quite often they're right in there with the decision makers. The only one who has splinters in his nose from bump- ing against closed doors is John 0. Public. Now there is a resolution before the Senate - sponsored by Senators Humphrey (D., Minn.) and Roth (R., Del.) (plus 11 other sponsors) which would open all Senate committee meetings. A bill (S 260) re- cently introduced in the Senate by Lawton Chiles of Florida and in the House (HR 4) by Dante Fascell, also of Florida, would open all Legislative and Executive Branch meetings oxcept those dealing with national security or involving personal privacy. Information is power, and secrecy is the most con- venient means of keeping that power out of the hands of the people. What the people don't know, they can't obiect to. If the Big Blue were guilty of and players' reaction as vocifer- looking over their shoulders just ous would be putting it very mil - a bit, you can hardly blame, them. ly.
