and players overwhelmingly ap-
plauded their three-season laborI
agreement.
Clearly, peace was at hand.
Player representatives from the
24 teams were scheduled to huddle
tomorrow in Miami for an in-depth
look at the agreement with Marvin
Miller, their lawyer and chief ne-
gotiator.
American and National league
offices were canvassing the owners
and hardly heard a discouraging
word. One source said it was a.
"sure thing" that the contract
would be approved.
Meanwhile, activity whirred at
training sites in Florida, Arizona
and California. Some teams had
been delayed as much as 13 days
in starting operations.
"It's a fine agreement," Miller
said. "I think there is a strong
chance for approval. The player
reps will make a recommendation
and then take copies for their team-
mates."
Salary arbitration was a power-
ful s e c t i o n, allowing major
leaguers with two or more years'

The silver 'Spoon...
outshines all others
By BOB McGINN
YOU CAN TAKE all your Jim Brewers, Ron Behagens, and
Henry Wilmores. The Big Ten's Most Valuable Player is
Nick Weatherspoon, and if he doesn't grab the Chicago Tribune's
trophy that goes with it, something is very wrong somewhere.
Consider this. Illinois was picked by all the experts to finish
eighth or ninth in the Big Ten. After last night's astonishing
victory over a "who gives a damn" Michigan team, the Illini
rest solidly in fourth place with a 7-4 record.
And when you consider the players Coach Harv Schmidt
has to work with, you realize just how phenomenal a job
this much-maligned man and his star have turned in this
season.
The tallest starter is a mere 6-6, and even though Nick
Conner is probably the best 6-6 center in the nation, his ability
to contain 6-10 Ken Brady last night was almost negligible. And
those two hatchet men who occupy the forward spot next to
Weatherspoon, Rick Schmidt and Jed Foster, could be the two
worst players among the first ten of any conference team except
Northwestern.
No, the Illini success this campaign has been directly at-
tributable to the sleek 6-6, 195 pound frame of their senior
captain from Canton, Ohio.
'Spoon Is the Big Ten's leading scorer (26.6) and the
loop's second top rebounder (12.2). As Schmidt puts it, "When
you take Weatherspoon away from us, it's like taking Jabbar
(Kareem Abdul) from Milwaukee."
But all of this glory and glitter hasn't always been heaped
on this frail, thoughtful man's shoulders. Sure, he's been a
starter for two seasons for Illinois, averaging highly respectable
marks of 16.5 and 20.8 points per game. But something was
always missing from his play. Some called his tendency to fire
up bad shots a basic trait, and others wrote him off as a
gunner, a man who couldn't play unless he had the ball.
That's what the sportswriters said. Assistant coach Dick
Campbellknows better. "It' was just a matter of Nick growing
up and finding out how to control his emotions," he said after-
ward in the delirious locker room. "For example, he used to
protest every call. Now, he's completely relaxed."
Schmidt said much the same thing. "He is using his
intensity to his advantage this year," the gawky, white-shoed
coach commented. "And he had developed the awareness
that he must give up the ball sometimes, too."
Although 'Spoon did turn in a couple flashy passes to
teammates for easy buckets, it was his play with the ball that
drew the almost unheard of partial standing ovation from the
staid Michigan fans last night.
He drilled nine jumpers in his incredible first half, many
with 6-7 Campy Russell, who showed he could play far better
defense than anyone gives him credit for, draped all over him.
He had 27 points at intermission, and Rudy Tomjanovich's
Crisler Arena scoring record of 48 seemed in peril.
Wetherspoon's bid for that record ended at the 10:40
mark, however, when he drew his fifth personal, and you
had to think even Jewel Jenkins, Michigan's most rabid fan,
felt cheated that he couldn't play any more.
"I've never seen a shooting display like that in my life,"
gushed Schmidt. "He's one of the five best players in the
country. And in September I figured he'd be lucky to go as
high as the third round in the pro draft."
Detroit Piston coach Ray Scott was in attendance last
night, and when he was asked to evaluate 'Spoon's play at half-
time, he was careful with his words. "Yes, I expected him to
be this good. He's one of the first five cornermen in the coun-
try, with Behagen (Ron); Brown (John, of Missouri), Bantom
(Mike, of St. Joseph's), and Green (Mike, of Louisiana Tech).
Weatherspoon is a definite first round pick."
In the Illini dressing room .Weatherspoon was the last man
out of the shower. He wasn't taking part in the horseplay with
his teammates. And he seemed to be a little hurt when he was
asked to comment on his first two seasons, which this reporter
described as "disappointing."
4I was young and emotional," he answered. "I knew I
wasn't playing up to my ability, but I was still pleased over-
all with my plhy. I have just gotten older, just like every-

LECTURE SCHEDULE-8 p.m. Wednesdays Room 2235 Angell Hull
MARCH 14-Cultural 'Dualism': Theory as Ideology or Critical Consciousness in
the Commodity Form Society.
The concept and role of the theory of cultural 'dualism'-and its related definitions of First/
Third World social/cultural pluralism-in commodity. form society which presents itself as
other than it really is, in which 'reality deceives the subject.'
MARCH 21-Nigger Minstrel/Nigger Monster, Noble Savage/Indio Bruto: Western
Humanism, Plantation America, and the Role of the Stereotype.
New World stereotypes of Blacks and Indians as intrinsic and necessary projections of Western
humanism; Plantation America as an area of EXPERIENCE which laid bare the relation of
exploitation underlying the fetishism of humanist freedom; and its insistence on the indivi-
dual person. Use of stereotypes to conceal, evade, make invisible.
MARCH 28-Elite Mass, Settler/Native: The Colonization of Consciousness in
Commodity Form Society.
The elite class in neocolonial 'third world' countries exist, more than most, elite, in a tension
caused by the difference between what is and what ought-to-be. Its "ideological" pretensions
are therefore in even sharper conflict with the economic reality of its base; its degree of mys-
tification is necessarily greater; and when the illusion breaks down the resort to force, to mil-
tory rule, is inherent in the situation. As an elite class that is really the 'manager' class for
an imposed economic and cultural system it enters a 'settler' relationship with the 'native'
mass and its consciousness becomes 'colon'-ized a it attemptsto colonize the consciousness
of the masses.
APRIL 4-Babylon Zion i Culture and Counter-culture in the Catacombs
of Marginality.
The reality of the lived experience of the marginal minorities of the First World and the ma-.
iority of the excluded masses of the Third World exists in direct antimony with and as a
negation of the norms, values and assumptions both of the dominant affluent of the First
World, and of the Third World elite who are the agents of these norms. These marginal
masses live-in their ghettoes, yards, barriadas, favelas, shanty towns-the contradiction be-
tween the infrastructure of the economic base and the superstructure of illusions which bol-
sters the unjust and irrational mechanism of a system of which they are the victims.
