The Titans, besides playing without their superstar Haywood, were minus their 6-7 center Larry More who watched the game from the sidelines with the flu. The visitors could neither mus­ ter up any offensive scoring punch nor any thwarting defense and only a 20 point performance by guard Dwight Dunlap saved Detroit from a total washout by the in­ spired Muskies. It was an even contest for the first seven minutes until a tip in by Big Lu at the 13 minutemarkgave X a 12-11 lead and one they kept throughout the remainder of the rout. With Zeides, Schlager and Hall dropping goals left and right, the next five minutes saw Xavier out-. score Detroit 21-8. Detroit called a time-out to set up some sort of pre­ ventive defense to stop the red hot Musketeers and to try to ignite an offense among themselves. But it was to no avail as the Xavier defense remained intact and rattled the Titans to poorshotsanq costly turnovers while the offense kept firing away. In the next three minute stretch, Hall canned five of six XU buckets, three coming on fast breaks result­ ing from steals and Rackley stuffed three tries. It seemed everything that went up went In for Xavier as the hot­ handed Muskies hit 593 from the floor and went in at halftime en­ joying a comfortable and surpris­ ing 56-38 lead. With the crowd still murmuring over the Muskies remarkable first half display of precision, XU came out and with Tom Rohling bag­ ging the first seven points of the aecond half Indicated It would be a repeat of the first twenty minutes. As the second half rolled on, Xavier moved rapidly toward the century mark building up an un­ surmountable lead which at one time totaled 41 points. Coach Krajack cleared his en­ tire bench in the second half and the reserves romped to a 533 shooting. ·At 2: 11 Terry Sillies dropped two foul shots pushing Xavier over the 100 mark much to the fans delight. Whatever you call it, phe­ nomenal, spectacular or even un­ believable, the Xavier victory was a performance of teamwork ( 33 assists) and accuracy ( 56% ). If it was the Mardi Gras atmos­ phere that "psyched" the XU team into such a victory, then maybe we ought to celebrate Mardi Gras more often. · P111 Six .

Join the It aJI depends on what each of us defines as "a good man for the j oli." And ultin)ately on how the · man who chooses hhn defines that. :But even more disturbing, in Enjoyeti theoretical· tenns the idea is faulty. It seeks to replace a committee with an individual. Unless the indivi­ dual possesses unusual insightand capabilities, a committee is far more representative of the total community. It provides for a di­ versity of opinions and for real dialogue on the decision-making level. It enables the decision­ maker (namely, the committee) to better speak for the entire com­ munity and both to understand and express the mind of the com­ munity on any issue. So consider­ ing the quality of representation inherent in decision-making sys­ tems, our present Committee is much more representative than an individual Coordinator. This is twice important for us. We are an academic community, which insists specially on freedom of expression and dialogue. It is particularly urgent to us all that we participate in, or at least be represented in, the making of all major decisions. What's more, we are supposedly a religious com­ munity and are certainly here con­ cerning ourselves with religious matters. Our Church is moving away from the highly centralized decision-making of its past and toward a greater participation by the entire Christian Community ln the direction and ministry of the Body. So both as an academic and as a religious community, we would be contradicting other firmly held convictions ln appointing a eolHary Religious Coordinator. In addMlon, there are several touches of irony. Earlier this year, the Xavier community labored ln the throes of a decision concerning compulsory masses.
