While most. attention centers on
the UCLA Invitational, the Na-
tional Invitational Tournament is
ready to swing into action tonight.
The NIT, the nation's oldest past-
season classic, this year features
the inevitable St. Patrick's day
appearance of Notre Dame, and
Southern California, a n d t w o
teams, North Carolina and Minne-
sota, that would probably prefer
to be elsewhere.
This afternoon, Notre D a m e
meets the Pac 8's first NIT con-
testant in the opening game of the
tourney. The Irish used victories
over Marquette, (ending that
team's home court winning streak)
and St. John's to win an invita-
tion despite a mediocre 14-10 win-
loss record.
The Trojans have featured fine
teams in the past that could not
solve the problem of UCLA. This
year's version is not as strong as
those past teams, but thanks to
the Pac 8's change of heart, they
are in a post season tourney, which
1 something their predecessors
never experienced. The second
game of the afternoon doublehead-
er features Kermit Washington
and his American University team-
mates battling Louisville.
Tonight, in the second double-
header of the day, Massachusetts
takes on Big Eight disappointment
Missouri, while the Titans of Oral
Roberts University battle North
Carolina.
Oral Roberts' faith will be sore-
ly tested by North Carolina, one of
the tournament favorites. The Tar-
heels were rated a good chance to
take the ACC tournament until
Wake Forest disposed of them.
ORU coach Ken T r i c k e y
moans, "PLaying North Caro-
lina in the first round is like go-
ing somewhere to get your head
chopped off. We like to play the
best, and if Richie Fuqua comes
to play, I think we will give the
Tarheels a battle." The Titans
have had trouble beating teams
of any ability, and will probab-
ly need heavenly assistance toI
top the Tarheels.
Two NCAA playoff games will
be telecast on channel 4 this
afternoon. At 2:00 p.m., Provi-
dence tackles Maryland, and
immediately following, at 4:00
p.m., Kansas State plays Mem-
phis State.
Tomorrow afternoon features
New Mexico versus Virginia Tech,
and Fairfield versus Marshall. Vir-
ginia Tech insists that they are
an underrated team. Commenting
on their 18-5 record, coach Don
DeVoe said, "Some people say
that wve are too small, too white,
and too Virginian to win many
games. We showed them."
Sunday night features the
NIT debut of Big Ten runner-up
Minnesota. The Gophers nearly
had the Big Ten sewed up but
were upset by Iowa and man-
aged to lose, to Northwestern, a
feat previously thought impos-
sible. As punishment, they were
sent to New York, a cruel, but
just fate. in beating third - ranked Long

standing squads in the Eastern heavily contested for, with five
players - Tom Giordano, John
McMannus, Bob Havern, Fred
Chichocki, and Gary Anderson -
each making a strong bid in prac-
tice.
The hooker position is up for
grabs between Larry Lucarelli and
Hank Lukaski. Second row stand-
outs include Quentin Lawson and
veteran Jacque Passino with Den-
nis Mercer and Bruce Kingsbury
in reserve.
The number eight post is a toss-
up between Holloway and new
club president Gordon Carruth.
The two wing forward positions
will be shared by Vern Plato, Tom
Raboine, and Chuck Drukis.
In an attempt to shore up the er-
ratic backfield, forwards Chris
Penoyar and George Surgent are
going to be moved into the back-
line.
Michigan will have two fine
scrum halves with Child and Todd
Peterson. John Bohlke, Penoyar,
Chuck Holt, and Rory O'Conner
will probably make up the, middle
of the three quarter line while
Brad Whitmore, Doug Rzepecki,
Bob Huizenga, and John Franklin
will compete for the wing posi-
tions. John Braun, who gained val-
uable experience last fall at full-
back, will anchor the backfield
from that post again this spring.

Remember when young people could get ahead in busi-
ness simply by growing old? It was a good system for
those with a little talent and a lot of patience, but t oday's
technology moves too fast to wait for seniority.
At Kodak,our extensive invol ement in basic research
has made the need for fresh, young thinking more press-
ing than ever. So we hire the best new talent we possibly
can. Then we do both of us a favor by turning them loose
on real problems, and giving them the freedom and re-
discovery means more than just a new kind of laser. It
means a whole range of new laser applications, in fields
from medicine to communications.
It was the kind of discovery most men and women
work a lifetime for. Yet these young men still have most
of their lifetimes ahead of them.
Why do we give young men and women so much free-
dom and responsibility? Because it's good business, and
we're in business to make a profit. But in furthering our
