Tonight's the night Cornell comes to town, and just about every body has something to say as the Harvard men's basketball team hones in on its first Ivy League title.

Administrators. Deans, Professors Even dear of mom.

Okay, who's paying attention to this potentially historic weekend.'

"Oh, I'm paying attention," says Dean of Freshmen Henry C. Moses. "It's extremely important to me I was once a graduate student at Cornell so I'd like to see Cornell get blown away. You see, graduate students have an inverted loyalty. We'd like to see the greatest amount of possible damage done to the institution from which we got our upper education degrees."

"I'm so excited. I hate to even talk about it I just get so excited," says Dolores Plutnicki, mother of cager Ken. "I think we've missed only two games this season. We've been following the team since Kenneth's freshman year. I'm just so excited."

"I think it's a great thing whenever a Harvard team does well." Dean of the College John B. Fox Jr. '59 says. "It adds a lot of vitality when a team prospers in this way."

Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education Sidney Verba '53, how do you feel about the current success of the basketball team?

"It sounds terrific," Verba says. "I'm extremely enthusiastic about it, now that you tell me about it."

What? Haven't you been following the cagers throughout the season?

"Maybe. Maybe not," Verba answers. "I refuse to comment on that subject. I might have known about the whole thing. But I won't admit or deny whether I had had knowledge of the record of the Harvard basketball team...but I'm still delighted about the team."

"I can't say that I know much about the whole thing," admits Gurney Professor of English Literature Jerome H. Buckley. I haven't been following them. I've been busy with other things lately. Oh please, don't hold that against me."

"Me? No, I haven't been following them. But I've been making a lot of box lunches for them," puts in Assistant Manager of the Union Ronny Cockroft.

Okay, there are a few people around here who aren't up to date on the squad. But, who's going to win?

"If you pardon me," Verba says, "I think I've said far too much already."

"I have a prediction," Moses offers. "Arne Duncan will score 30. I think he's ready for it. Joe Carrabino has gotten all the in. It's time for Duncan."
