CENTRAL MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY, FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1966
NUMBER 20
Conference Begins Today
Central
80-60, in first round District 23
playoffs. CMU plays its final
regular season game tonight
at University of Wisconsin —
Milwaukee. Saturday, the
Chips travel to Kansas City,
Mo., to await word ©n how
they will be paired in next
week's NAIA national finals.
The Finals will be played in
Kansas City's 10,000-seat Memorial Arena.
Finals from all 32 NAIA districts in the nation were held
this week with the winners
traveling to Kansas City. The
single-elimination tourney begins Monday and continues
through Saturday. Sixteen of
the teams will be seeded and
the others filled in the remaining brackets according to
NAIA judges.
"The seeding is based on two
things," commented CMU head
cage coach Ted Kjolhede.
"First is how the teams were
rated by the NAIA, and second
on the win-loss record. We
were not rated in the top 20,
so I doubt if we will be seated."
Northern  Ranked  Nationally
Northern, ranked number
one two weeks before suffering
a Saturday loss to the Air
Force Academy, 97-94, were
second to Carson-Newman College (Tenn.) after the final
polls taken Friday. Usually the
two top rated teams are paired on opposite brackets, and
the next ten filled inbetween,
according to who the winners
are.
"Although   it   is   generally
good to get seeded, it may not
be the best in this tourney ac-
cording  to  circumstances,"
stated Kjolhede. "The Kansas
City   competition   is   mighty
tough and it could be better to
be an underdog. The worst part
is that we have already played five games in eight days
(not counting the UWM contest), and the NAIA tourney
requires  a maximum of five
games (to be won) in a week."
NAIA officials will do the
drawings for the pairings today. Official announcement of
pairings and times are expected tonight.

the second  annual  Govenor's
Conference.
The  Governor   has   invited
every  Michigan   college   and
teers from up to 50 Michigan
schools are expected to participate in the conference in an
effort to get volunteer organizations on every campus. Various local women's clubs in the
community will also be present.
Workshops and Displays
The two day conference will
feature a number of workshops
dealing with various aspects of
the student volunteer movement. Displays will be set up
in the Derrick Room and in the
halls of the University Center.

The volunteer programs are
initiated by the students themselves. They work without pay
in hospitals and orphanages,
tutor children and work with
senior citizens.
The university volunteer
program is a major effort of
the Division on Volunteer
Services of the State Human
Resources Council. Robert C.
Benedict is director.
According to Benedict, :iThis
is one of our fastest moving
programs. There are between
* 000 and 4,000 student volunteers in Michigan and between
35 and 45 schools have volunteer programs in a variety 01
stages of development."
The first conference was
held last year at Eastern Mich-
fgan University. The 1966 conference Benedict said, "will
allow us to develop a greater
degree of sophistication m individual programs and will be
an opportunity to develop new
efforts."
Interest and Concern
Benedict added, "The conference has resulted from the
Governor's sincere interest and
concern that citizens become
Solved in solving problems
of tie state and the communities Governor Romney will
support  any  effort, of  citizen
groups in this line.'
8 Benedict said that the
r-nvprnor has set up a tasK
force headed by Dr. William

Msn's Union Concert
DeSayed Until March 28
     __     1-4.    ..„     lrnnm    +Via+     tVlfVV
Men's Union representative,
Dick Hansen, has announced
that the Louis Armstrong concert, which was cancelled Monday night, has been re-scheduled for March 28.
The concert will be coupled
with Ian and Sylvia and the
final two Pop Concert programs will be back-to-back on
March 28 and 29.
The fourth in the five concert series was called off when
Armstrong and his All-Stars
failed to appear by 8:40 for
Monday's 8 p.m. concert.
Bill Hubert, former winner
of the Men's Union Talent
show, filled in for the Armstrong group for forty-five
minutes until Master of Ceremonies Hansen cancelled the
program.
The All-Stars did arrive a
half-hour after the crowd was
dispersed. Hansen said that "A
telephone call from the man
ager to let us know that they
were still coming was all that
was necessary.
"But there was no way to
know how close the group was.
Telephone calls to airports
from Chicago to Detroit failed
to give any indication if they
(All-Stars) were even in the
state."
Although re-scheduling had
to be made through a New
York agent the following
morning, Armstrong said that
he would try to work in another concert this spring. He
felt bad that so many people
had to be disappointed. It was
the first time in forty-three
years  that  he  had  missed  a
show.
For this reason and the fact
that this will be his final tour,
he promised Hansen that he
would guarantee a "great
show" for the students on the
28th.
