February 12, 1973 The Retriever Page 11 UMBC could win PIC championship UMBC stands a great chance So win a basketball cham­ pionship. The Retrievers could win the Potomac Intercollegiate Conference in their first year of competition in it. Now the PIC isn't the NCAA, nor is it even ACC, but a cham­ pionship in any league is a championship. It requires something extra to attain. As of Friday, UMBC stood second in the PIC with a 5-3 record, Copping State and George Mason are tied for first at 6-2 and St. Mary's trails with an even rocord of 4-4. The Retrievers, still have games with Coppin and GM, and after losing the first time to these teams by a total of 12 points (on their courts) The Retrievers should use their home court ad­ vantage to beat both of them. Put this together with the fact that Coppin and GM still have to play each other and if they win the rest of their confernce games, the final standings would put UMBC in second place, behind one qnd in front of the other. In other words, if Coppin beats GM and UMBC beats both of RANDOLPH MACON them, and nobody else can, the result would be this: Coppin 9-3 ... triumphs, 61-51 (75.0%) UMBC 7-3 (70.0%) and GM 8-4 (66.6%). And that's how they would enter the playoffs. The two very games, though, are UMBC VS. GM and Coppin. These crucial games come in the middle of a four game home Retrievers beaten 61 51 finale.

There's a possibility that the Lowe emphasized that the bill "is an attempt to get the legislature together' and reassert the legislatures role in fiscal research. "People can get to the legislature but not to University officials." He asserted, however, that the legislature should not meddle in the University's Academic affairs. The legislature "should have no say in the hiring of professors or selection of courses." Dr. Louis L. Kaplan, chairman of the university Board of Regents, downplayed the purchase of Dv.· Bishops house and the sale of land to the Potomac Electric Power Company citing that the President of Coppin State College also has been given a house. He added that he saw no point to the bill because the Uni versity does not have unlimited authority. "It's so called autonomy. There is very little we can do without state agencies," said Kaplan. "Everything is accounted for by the auditor," emphasized the chairman. "They (the legislature) have every right to demand and ask how the money is spent. Kaplan expressed the hope that "there are enough people in the Legislature who feel that the University should not be tampered with."
