Thesemy rli Pq il fn tisMihianteam By The Associated Press Baseball's ceasefire ended yes- terday at spring training camps while major league club owTierg 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' experience to take their money disputes to a third party for settle- ment.

Player salaries may not be sliced by more than 20 per cent after poor performances, compared to 25 in the past. They may only be cut 30 per cent over a two-year period, instead of 44. If a player is released during spring training he will receive a month's pay. Previously, he got nothing.

"Brady did a good job but we didn't get it in there full court PRESS~ 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.

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.

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.
