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 "I don't know what happened to Beach State 77-67 Thursday nightl Minnesota," said Manhattan coach and now must stop- All-Americani Jack Powers.

The against Pittsburgh, one of the out- prop positions have been the most 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.

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.

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?
