Senate asks to serve
as ticket committee
Chances are that the Student
Senate will be the next ticket
sales and football seating com­mittee.
Student protest came to
a head after many waited in line
to purchase tickets as long as
three and four hours.
Another often heard com­plaint
is that students are un­able
to purchase guest tickets
adjacent to their own student
seats.
The committee has not yet
been appointed, but Pres. Har­ry
M. Philpott had this to say
Tuesday, "I would be glad for
the ticket and seating situation
to be re-examined. The Student
Senate may work on this problem..
so long as they work in con­junction
with the Athletic De­partment.

SGA Vice-President Jimmy
Brennan said that although he
has not received the official
go-ahead from the administra­tion,
he and the Senate are
making plans to look into the
ticket controversy. Jimmy Blake,
off-campus senator, introduced
a resolution to the Senate Mon­day
night which requests " . . .
the responsibility of determin­ing
a priority system for student
football tickets. . ."

The Auburn Conference on In­ternational

over the summer and is
now known as Horizons Confer­ence.
This year's conference will

system.
He said, "I've had 30 years

We do, however, reserve the

"I hope a committee is ap­pointed,"
said William H. Beck-with,
manager of ticket sales.
"I think the idea of the Student
Senate being the governing body
on this thing is a good idea.
Then when students have pom-plaints

H R F schedules 'RAP Day' Oct. 15
By Carmel Parsons
Plainsman Staff Writer
On Oct. 15, anniversary of the
1969 moratorium, Auburn \will
have its first "RAP Day". RAP
- Relevance, Awareness and
Peace - will be sponsored by
Auburn's Human Rights Forum.
Fred Van Hartsvelt, president
of the Forum, hopes all Auburn
students will take all or some
part of that day away from their
normal routine to think, read, and
talk about the situation in South­east
Asia, and other pressing
problems of both the country and
the University.
The creation of "RAP Day"
sprang from the dismissal of the
court case charging Auburn with
discrimination against 11 coeds,
and a s t r i k e planned for that
Thursday by National StrikeiFor,
Peace, a group based in New
York.
'RAP Day" will give students
a chance to discuss problems at
Auburn, such as the war in Viet­nam,
educational relevance and
the Women's Lib movement.
The most important factor
to be discussed is what stu­dents
can do to make the ad­ministration
aware of ideas and
problems at Auburn.
Various programs, debates,
discussion groups and speak­ers
will be available to any in­terested
person presently dis­satisfied
with administration
policy or rules. The Forum
hopes Pres. Philpott will be on
hand to join in on these dis­cussions.
For some time there has been
an air of discontent at Auburn,
and now students will have a
chance to "rap" back at the
administration.
Last spring women students
staged a "sleep-in" on Presi­dent
Philpott's lawn and nume­rous
protests were made against
food in the dining halls and
women's curfews.
Many students said they
thought this made no mark on
the administration. Many have
said they thought Dean of Wom­en
Katharine Cater has been
all too slow in approving a mo­tion
made by the Associated
Women Students to drop cur­fews
for junior and sophomore
women.
The Human Rights Forum
asks anyone interested in par­ticipating
to contact them and
and hope all Auburn students
will get involved in a problem
they think has been too long
overlooked.
A site for the discussions
and a schedule of events will
be made at a later date.
Senate suggests three-day limit
for Miss Homecoming campaigns
By Ann Silvernail
Plainsman Staff Writer
Student football ticket sales
and distribution should be hand­led
by the Student Senate and
and campaigns for Miss Home­coming
should be limited to
three days, according to reso­lutions
passed by the Student
Senate.
In its regular meeting Monday
night, the Senate amended a
resolution introduced by Patti
Kime, Senator for the South
Women's Dormitories, to abolish
Miss Homecoming campaigns,
limiting it to a three day cam­paign
and passed Off Campus
Senator Jimmy Blake's measure
to place the priority system for
football tickets in the hands
of the Senate.
The resolution on football
tickets requests that the Senate
be given the responsibility,
along with the Athletic De­partment
in determining a priority
system for student football tic­kets.
It was also resolved that
the Student Senate's appointed
representatives begin discus­sions
with Auburn Athletic De­partment
officials toward alle­viating
the time consuming pro­cess
of ordering and securing
student football tickets.
The resolution further re­quests
of Pres. Harry M. Phil­pott
and the University faculty
that a non-voting (because of
NCAA rules) student represen­tative
be appointed to the Ath­letic
Committee. The Senate
then proposed among its mem­bers
to organize a committee
to research the problem and re­port
to the Senate later on more
solutions.
The three days of Homecoming
campaign would be carried out
as usual with posters and door-to-
door campaigning. Through
additional amendment the five
finalists would be presented at
a rally, where they would give
a two minute speech followed
be a reception at Bradley Lounge.
Miss Kime's original resolu­tion
called for no campaigning
or campaign materials outside
of posters for the election of
Miss Homecoming. Debate against
abolishment of campaigning cited
Homecoming spirit generated by
the election, campus wide par­ticipation
and response to elec­tion
issues as reasons to retain
some form of active campaign­ing.
A recommsndation to the Board
of Elections that write-in ballots
be accepted was also passed.
Minor Code of Laws revisions
were made, and two members
to serve on the Board of Elec­tions
were elected. Bruce Gil-liland,
business senator, and
Jim Stevenson, off campus sen­ator,
will fill these posts on
recommendation by Carol Cruze,
secretary of political affairs.
Election dates for Miss Home­coming
were approved. The top
20 semi-finalists will be select­ed
Oct. 7. The top five finalists
will be named Oct. 8, and elec­tion
day will be Oct. 22 from
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Ballot boxes
will be used because of the
unavailability of voting ma­chines
due to the state elec­tions.
Additional business included
appointments to the Men and
Women's Disciplinary Commit­tees.
Elected as regulars to the
Men's Disciplinary Committee
were Doug Davis, 4AM ; and
Reed Edwards, 4CE; with Bruce
Gilliland, 4INM, as alternate.
Women's Disciplinary Com­mittee
Regulars are Kitty Law­rence,
4EED; and Rissa Spears,
3FCD; with Carol Cruze, 4SED,
as alternate.
These members were elected
from lists of students nominated
by President Philpott, Bob Doug­las
and Lucy McCord.
A request by the Human Rights
Forum for Senate vote on forum
constitutional amendments was
referred to the Organizations
Committee of the senate to be
considered at a later date. Auburn hit by inflation-recession phenomenon
The inflation-recession phenome­non
has affected Auburn, according
to Charles Roberts, new director of
Student Financial Aid, and it may be
the reason for the drop in student
enrollment-325 short of last fall.
This week an additional $72,000
was awarded by National Defense
Student Loans to the Office of Stu­dent
Financial Aid to give Auburn a
lending ability of $400,000-850,000
short of the reguest.
Of the 1,000 persons who applied
for the money, 350 had to be denied.
An effort will be made to take care
of these students, although many
whose needs were great are not en­rolled
this quarter.
Fifteen per cent of Auburn's stu­dent
population seeks financial help,
with 10 per cent receiving minimum
aid of $100 to maximum aid of $2,500
per school year. This does not in­clude
students who find part-time
work on their own, or married cou­ples
where the wife is supporting
the husband.
During the past year, school costs
alone rose approximately $300 so that
it now takes at least $2,000 to at­tend
Auburn each year. This includes
tuition, books, and room and board,
with approximately $500 for spending
money. It does not include clothing.
Available through the Office of
Student Financial Aid are the NDS
loans, educational opportunity grants,
institutional loans and scholarships,
and funds available for special cur­ricula.
Bank loans, Robert says, are
almost non-existent now because the
principal stays out too long. There
is one non-profit, non-sectarian,
independent educational lending firm
in the area.
NDSL is the original of the current
federal financial aid programs. Per­sons
have assumed there was a cut­back
this year, but Congress ap­propriated
even more funds, over the
President's veto. There are simply
more applications than ever before,
and college costs are higher.
NDS loans are not due until nine
months after the student has graduat­ed
from college, and then at three iper
cent interest. Up to 50 per cent can
be forgiven if the student enters the
teaching profession and stays in it
for five years.
Under the College Work-Study pro­gram,
students work 15 hours a week
for a particular department or non­profit
agency. The government pays
80 per cent of the salary, the organi­zation
or department pays 20 per cent.
This summer Roberts had 50 stu­dents
employed for 40-hour weeks un-*
der this arrangement-in their own
home towns. Non-profit employers
such as hospitals, town officials,
civic and governmental agencies
should contact Roberts immediately
if such opportunities are available
in their communities next summer,
he said.
Currently, in Auburn, such employ­ers
include Head Start, Vista and the
local schools, where students are
employed as clerical and teaching
aides.
Roberts' goal for the Work-Study
program is to put the student in a
position related to his field of study
as well as to give financial aid. "It
should be a part of the educational
experience if possible," he says.
A program which began on a trail
basis this summer will take academical­ly
weak students with potential and
let them work 40-hour weeks in the
departments where they contemplate
study.
Educational opportunity grants,
under the Department of Health, Ed­ucation
and Welfare, are restricted
to those families whose gorss in­comes
do not exceed $6,000. Roberts
would like to see high school coun­selors
begin now to identify such
students while they are in the ninth,
10th and 11th grades, encouraging
them to make good grades because
financial help is available.
"But this should be done on a state­wide
basis rather than an institu­tional
one," Roberts says. A member
of the Alabama Association of Fi­nancial
Administrators, he is now
working to implement a program which
would allow students to go to the
college in the state best suited to
their needs. There is no payback on
these grants.
Also available, although small com­pared
to the other programs, are in­stitutional
loans and scholarships
comprised of monies given by various
companies and individuals.
Funds for veterinary medicine are
closed out for 1970-71, but are availa­ble
in pharmacy and law enforcement.
The veterinary medicine and phar­macy
loans must be paid back begin­ning
nine months after graduation at
three per cent interest. The law en­forcement
loans are forgiven if the
graduate is employed in law enforce­ment
for four years.
To be eligible for scholarship
funds, loans or financial aid, a stu­dent
must be able to justify the need,
and have a B-plus average in high
school, with a score of 25 or better
on the ACT. Scholarship recipients
must maintain a B-plus average. Other
students accepted for funding are
eligible for such funding as long as
they are students in good standing.
"We will work with a student as
long as the University does," Ro­berts
says. "Lack of money some­times
contributes to poor grades;
we don't insist that he maintain an
A or Baverageto collect his money."
Young people have been led to
believe that lack of maney should
not hamper their plans for college.
This is no longer true. Funds are
available, but not enough.
The major problem, according to
Roberts, is that students do not
think far enough ahead. Financial
aid funds are committed a year in
advance. Students should make ap­plication
early in the senior year of
high school. If already in college,
students should not expect any help
until after they have been in school
for at least one quarter.
Roberts hopes eventually to have
all student employment funneled
through his office so that he will have
some emergency means available to
him, and so that student jobs can
be identified and classified.
In the meantime, any student with
financial problems is encouraged to
visit the Office of Student Finan­cial
Aid, as soon as possible.

Committee named
to investigate
Glom complaints
By Rusty Eubanks
Plainsman Staff Writer
The Board of Student
Publications has appointed
a committee to explore pro­duction
procedures for the
Glomerata and to make rec­ommendations
for change.
The action came at the
Board's first meeting of the
quarter on Oct. 1 and was a
result of complaints last
spring that material in the
1970 yearbook was not re­presentative
of the student
body and that the quality
of workmanship in general
was poor.
The committee, recom­mended
by James E. Foy,
dean of student affairs, in­cludes
A s s i s t a n t Dean
Charles S. Bentley, chair­man;
Geoff Ketchum, edi­tor
of the Glomerata; Jean-nie
Cobble, the current
Miss Auburn; Herb White,
director of University Rela­tions;
Scott Uthlaut, presi­dent
of Magnolia Dormitor­ies;
Charles Hiers, head of
the Department of Art; Paul
C. Burnett, professor of
journalism, Chester Harvey,
S„GA secretary #C services;
and Doug Jonas, president*
of the School of Business.
In other business the
Board approved the summer
quarter financial report for
the Plainsman presented by
Business Manager John Bu-senlener.
Although the sum­mer
Plainsman usually op­erates
at a loss due to smal­ler
circulation, the report
showed the past summer's
edition had an operational
gain of $1,208.
Memphis, Tenn. Bowles
is currently treasurer of the
American Pharmaceutical
Association.
Bowies' speech was spon­sored
in observance of Na­tional
Pharmaceutical Week,
which is October 4-10.
The topic of the speech
was "Current T r e n d s in
Pharmacy.'' Bowles pointed
out that, in the increasingly
complex medical world, phar­macists
must be totally com­mitted
to finding better and
more efficient ways of do­ing
things.
Pharmacy, Bowles said,
"must revolve around the
whole health care team. It is
no longer enough for a phar­macist
simply to dispense a
drug that a physician has
ordered. He must have an in
depth knowledge of drug ac­tion
and interaction, and
must work to find ways to
organize h e a l t h care in a
manner t h a t is most effi­cient."
Even though the U.S. is
considered to be one of the
most progressive nations in
the world, Bowles said, "it
ranks seventh among the in­dustrial
nations of the world
in mothers who die in child-;
birth. It ranks 13th among in­dustrial
n a t i o n s in infant
death r a t e s , 18th in male
life expectancy, I lth in fe­male
life expectancy, and
16th in death rates among
males in their middle years."
Among the major medical
problems, Bowles said, is
the maldistribution of facil­ities
and inefficient usage.
"Health care facilities are
generally available," said
Bowles, "but often the pub­lic
does not know how to use
them, especially the poor
public."
There is, Bowles said, a
new b r e e d of pharmacists
who are young, aggressive,
articulate, highly motivated,
and who place a high prior­ity
on new knowledge rather
than years of experience, c
The future for pharmacy,
according to Bowles, looks
bright. He said there will be
a lot of changes within the
profession, but that it is es­sential
to work with the
changes and help make them
happen.
Bowles said pharmacists
will begin to take more re­sponsibility
and g r e a t e r,
r o l e s of leadership in the
health care of the nation.

Students and a canine friend wait in
amorphus lines to buy football tickets.
After word spread of long lines and some­time
three hour waits, many students
said they felt a ticket distribution over­haul
was in order. Folding chairs, com­fortable
shoes and picnic lunches were
stop-gap measures for the long waits.
Utility deposits eliminated
By Harlan Stafford
Plainsman Staff Writer
Auburn's Off-Campus As­sociation
(OCA) started its
first year this quarter with
only limited success. A de­lay
in contract procedings
at South Central Bell could
be the reason, according to
OCA Chairman, Jim Steven­son.
Stevenson1 stated that the
Alabama ^Rower."Company,.
Alabama Gas Company and
South Central Bell were most
cooperative in an effort to
get the OCA under way this
quarter. However, a delay in
the contract procedings at
South Central Bell's main
office caused some confusion
among prospective members
on whether or not the OCA
would cover the deposit re­quired
for service at South
Central Bell. The OCA is
presently in agreement with
South Central Bell to cover
deposits until the contract
is finalized.
The CCA offers each stu­dent
the opportunity to avoid
deposits with the major util­ities
in Auburn. Cost for ini­tial
membership is three dol­lars
plus one dollar for an­nual
dues.
The three,^dollar member­ship
fee stay's' in a contin­gency
fund to cover any pos­sible
unpaid bills to utilities
and the one dollar in dues
is used to cover secretarial
costs. The OCA is also cov­ered
for up to $2000 in loses
by a private bonding com­pany.
Membership in the OCA
presently stands at approxi­m
a t e l y ^ . Stevenson stated
that the future for the OCA
looks good but that more stu­dent
support is needed to
make it a success.
The CCA is a non-profit
branch of the Student Gov­ernment
Association.
The new blades vs. Norelco.
In an independent test, some indepen­dent
men shaved one side of their face
with a platinum or chromium blade.
They shaved the other side with our
Tripleheader 35T shaver.
When they finished shaving, we had
them feel their faces.
7 out of 10 said our Tripleheader
shaved them as close or closer than
either the platinum or chromium blade.
Some of the men were surprised.
But, frankly, we weren't.
Because the Norelco Tripleheader is a
totally different kind of electric shaver.
It has three shaving heads that float,
to follow the curves of your face.
Our blades are rotary. So they shave
in every direction. (Because your beard
grows in every direction.)
And we make our shaving heads
ultra-thin. So it's, possible to get a
really close shave. And practically im­possible
to nick or cut yourself.

Council opposes
new beer license
By Debbie Wilson
Plainsman Staff Writer
A check with members of
the Auburn City Council
shows that the chances for
passage of a beer license
request for Butterworth's
Restaurant are very slim.
Even though the establish­ment
meets all requirements
according to its owner, E.
L. Butterworth, the issuance
of a beer license is still
being denied.
The Council's rejection
of the beer license applica­tion
by a vote of 5-4 has
prompted the re-submission
of Butterworth's proposal at
Tuesday's meeting of the
Council. A poll among the
councilmen, however, shows
that, with the possible ex­ception
of one member, all
councilmen are going to
vote the same way.
Dan W. Hollis, president
of the Council, stated that
he had voted against all
alcohol licenses in the past
and would continue to do
so in the future as a matter
of personal conviction. Al­derman
Joseph Hood also
stated that he would vote
negatively on all alcohol
licenses with no excep­tions
due to the fact that
he was opposed to any new
establishments serving al­coholic
beverages.
Councilman W. H. Wei-denback,
however, voted
affirmatively and will vote
in the same manner again.
According to Weidenbach,
"The issue is still a toss-up,
and on the basis of my
judgment, the decision may
probably go the same way
at the next meeting."
The only exception to
the line of decided council-men
is Wayne Mitcham. Vo­ting
for the issuance of a
beer license to a pizza res­taurant
only last July, Mit­cham
has revealed that if
he becomes sufficiently
familiar with the establish­ment,
he may conceivably
change his vote.
Since all the require­ments
have been met for
issuing of the license, But­terworth
has said he will
continue to re-submit his
application until the Coun-

which is clear of the one-mile
radius for establish­ments

beverages set up as the
rule for land-grant univer­sities.

explained.
The requirements, ac­cording

Agent Pete McAllis­ter,
are simply that an ap­plicant's
character is above

Mr. McAllister is optimistic
that Butterworth will ob­tain
his license since his
establishment record speaks
well of his character so
far, and since the Supreme
Court of Alabama has ruled
that no applicant for an al­coholic
beverage license
can be arbitrarily turned
down when there is another
establishment with similar
record operating in the vi­cinity
under a beer license.
Tuesday night Butter­worth
was again denied a
beer license on a vote of
three to four. Two council-men
who normally vote yes
were not present, and • the
names were not available at

Mitchem changed his vote
from no to yes, bringing
Butterworth closer to vic­tory.

Farley said the center con­tacts
some 1500 businesses

showing the number of grad­uates
in each curriculum.
They deal with al 1 of the ma­jor

Pep rally attendance down, spirit said dying
By Becky Amiro
Plainsman Staff Writer
The famed Auburn spirit
seems to be dying.
Cheerleaders report that
attendance is down at the
pep rallies. According to
students, people don't yell
at games as they once did.
An administrator asked,
"Are we being spoiled by
winning so often?"
A student, reminiscing,
said, "I remember one year
when we played Georgia
Tech. We had more fans
than they did at the game.
We lost the game, but we
were screaming War Eagle
anyway. One Tech fan asked
what were we yelling about,
and we said that we may
have lost the game, but we
still have the Auburn spi­rit!"
The Spirit Committee has
been working very hard to
get the Auburn spirit back
up. They have carefully
planned the pep rallies for
before each game
At 3:30 p.m., Oct. 16, the
annual Wreck Tech parade
will be held, followed by a
pep rally with Coach Ralph
"Snug" Jordan as the guest
speaker. At the Homecoming
pep rally, to be held after
the Three Dog Night con­cert,
Gov. Albert Brewer

will speak.
Oct. 28, the pep rally for
the Florida game will be
held in Ross Square with
a street dance afterwards.
Dean of Student Affairs
James Foy is the scheduled
speaker.
At the Mississippi State
pep rally on Nov. 5, Dennis
Calhoon, a former Auburn
cheerleader, will be the
guest speaker. Nov. 13, there
will be a Burn the Bulldog
Bonfire, and Coach Paul
Davis will speak at the
pep rally.
Several speakers will be
at the Beat Bama rally, and
the Spirit Committee is work­ing
on something special
for before the game, ac­cording
to Jim Davis, di­rector
of spirit, who is also
known as the official "Spi­rit
Keeper."
Davis said, "In years
past Auburn and Alabama
had a parade in Birmingham
before the game, but Ala­bama
stopped the parades
because the last time they
had it, Bama had only about
three or four cars, while
Auburn had a tremendous
number."
"The Spirit Committee
is trying to get a permit
to have a parade to be end­ed
at the stadium with a pep
rally before the game," said
Davis. "We want to show
that the Auburn spirit is as
strong as ever."
He said, "We also have
a live tiger at the Birming­ham
Zoo, and we want to
take it to the Auburn-Ala­bama
game."
The Spirit Committee has
also looked into getting a
Tiger Sports Coupe and has
several possibilities. They
have also discussed having
small rag-time type bands
to go all over campus to
lead people to the pep ral­lies.

Auburn and birth control
In this week's Color section, The
Plainsman presents a series of ar­ticles
about birth control at Auburn.
Our staff members have talked to
students, administrators, doctorsand
clergymen to learn their attitudes
about birth control and, by inference,
premarital sex.
The articles are intended to be
informative and analytical. We have
tried to present an overview of a sit­uation
which affects many Auburn
students.
We hope our efforts will not be
interpreted as an attempt to con­done
or condemn the practice of pre*
marital sex or any form of birth con­trol.
We merely wish to acknowledge the
existence of what we have found to
be substantial interest in birth con­trol
on campus. We hope our efforts
will stimulate further discussion,
investigation and any appropriate
action where it is indicated.
Yes, sex is a personal matter.
But we don't consider it naughty to
be informed about it.
Go ahead, blast us
The Plainsman is the student
newspaper and we want it to reflect
the full spectrum of student views.
We offer our editorials and columns
as singular opinions of no greater or
less significance than the singular
opinions of our readers.
We welcome your comment. There
are three ways to reach us, and oth­ers,
with your opinion.
The Student Government Associa­tion's
Ombudsman line accepts in­quiries
about the Plainsman and
registers complaints ranging from
editorial content to distribution of
papers.
To question, comment or complain
about a campus issue or a Plainsman
story or column, write a letter to the
editor. Letters must not exceed 250
words in length and they must be
typewritten with double spacing.
Letters must contain the signature
and telephone number of the author
for verification. If the content of the
letter would be embarrassing to its
author, we will withhold the name
upon request.
Letters are subject to the same
editing procedures which are applied
to all Plainsman material. We print
them on a "space-available" basis.
In-depth comment which exceeds
the limitations of a letter may be
submitted to the editor for considera­tion
as a "Rebuttal" column. Length
should not exceed two double-spaced
typewritten pages. Items of this na­ture
will be printed according to
space available and at the discre­tion
of the editor.
Let us hear from you.
imi and Janis
More powerfully than peace and
love, today's music has bonded to­day's
youth. Since Woodstock, the
rock festival has become a social
institution.
Janis Joplin, 27, died Sunday. Two
weeks and five days earlier, Jimi
Hendrix, 24, died. Both were vivid
Woodstock personalities.
The similarity of their deaths is
dramatic and, to the new young who
cherished their music, sobering.
The lives led by Joplin and Hen­drix
were fast, hard and brief. Janis
once said, "Man, I'd rather have 10
years of superhypermost than live to
be 70 sitting in some goddam chair
watching TV."
We are appreciative of what they
gave us. Though we will miss them,
the sorrow we feel at their deaths is
not piteous.
Can RAP match ticket interest?
The furor over football ticket
sales is over for another year. We
are hopeful that a more orderly pro­cedure
for next year's ticket sales
will emerge from the confusion.
But amid all the bitter complain­ing,
there was one beneficial effect
of the widespread displeasure which
surrounded ticket sales-Auburn stu­dents
were aroused about an issue.
On Thursday, the Human Rights
Forum will sponsor "RAP Day."
We hope students will show the
same interest in our social, cultural,
political and ecological problems
that they showed in our football
ticket problems.

Cold tablets, band-aids, are Infirmary specialties
Dean Katharine Cater said
she agrees with one of the
speakers at last year's AWS-sponsored
seminar on birth
control-that abstinence is
the most effective method.
Because of the secrecy
which surrounds the subject
of premarital sex, no one
can be sure how many Au­burn
coeds practice what
Miss Cater preaches.
Yet just about every coed
at Auburn knows at least
one other coed who does
not use abstinence as a me­thod
of birth control.
One thing is certain-though
abstinence is the
method employed by many
coeds, quite a few others-including
married coeds-do
not abstain from sex for
the duration of their college
years.
* * *
These coeds pay seven
dollars per quarter for health
services provided by Drake
Infirmary, as do all Auburn
students.
According to a nurse at the
Infirmary, about 80 per cent
of the students who are treat­ed
there have upper respira­tory
ailments . . . usually
colds. The nurse said most
of the others have scrapes
and abrasions . . . usually
skinned knees.
According to President
Philpott, the role of the in­firmary
is to serve "fund­amentally
as a first-aid
station," and it is not e-quipped
for anything else.
For about two dollars, a
student could buy enough
cold tablets and band-aids
to last for at least one
quarter. Then he could
treat his own colds and
skinned knees, and he would­n't
have to bother the peo­ple
at the Infirmary at all.
* * *
But there is a growing
trend of thought that ad­vising
about, and adminis­tering,
birth control devices
is one function for which a
college health service is
well suited.
President Philpott says
that if Auburn had a policy
which permitted the Infirmary
to administer birth control
pills, it would probably be
interpreted as University
approval of premarital sex.
Extension of that logic
would indicate that the Uni­versity
approves of students
having colds.
By dispensing cold tab­lets
(to which the Infirmary
admits), the University ap­parently
acknowledges the
fact that some students have
colds, just as by dispensing
birth control pills the Uni­versity
would apparently
acknowledge the fact that
some students practice mari­tal
and premarital sex.
According to President
Philpott's logic, as he ap­plies
it to sex, acknowledge­ment
indicates University
approval, and we assume
this is also true of colds.
* *• *
Miss Cater insists that
Auburn simply does not have
a problem with its coeds get­ting
pregnant, though over
the years, she admits, there
have been a few such cases.
It seems odd that in such
cases those services os­tensibly
designed to help
the Auburn coed are so ef­fective
in driving her away.
When a coed is frightened
because she thinks she might
be pregnant, and she is un­sure
what might have made
her pregnant, and she doesn't
know how to go about find­ing
out whether or not she
is pregnant, the three last
places she will go for help
are her junior counselor (if
she is a freshman), the in­firmary,
and the Dean of
Women's office.
She is more likely to seek
the advice of an equally
uninformed girlfriend. De­pending
on her circumstances,
she may go on from there to
a hasty marriage or an il­legal
abortion.
But that only happens to
a few Auburn coeds each
quarter. And the ones who
have colds or skinned knees
are quite well protected.

Europe on $5 a day now possible

It wasn't too many years
ago that a trip to Europe
was an expensive pleasure
reserved for a chosen few.
College students who
traveled abroad were indeed
the exception rather than the
rule. They were always the
sons and daughters of those
rare Americans who really
didn't have to worry too much
about money.
In the last two years things
have changed drastically.
1 During the past summer
in fact, Europe was literally
packed with kids. They were
driving, walking, hitch-hiking
and bicycling their way
through the most historic
and beautiful countries in
the world. And they weren't
rich.
The reason for the big
change in recent years is
easily seen if you examine
that thick paperbook that all
the tourists were carrying
around like Bibles last sum­mer:
Arthur Frommer's "Eu­rope
on $5 a Day."
At first glance it may seem
a little outrageous to even
imagine living at home all
summer for five dollars a
day-much less traveling in
Europe for such a low cost.
But a short inspection of
this miraculous book proves
its title to be completely
correct.
Not only is the book's con­tention
true in theory, but
it actually works. And thou­sands
of kids proved it could
be done this summer by go­ing
to Europe with little
more than the clothes they
wore and five dollars a day.
The book concentrates on
the major cities of Europe
with an exhaustive study
HC should be kept open for after hours study
It's 10:45 Tuesday night.
You're finally getting down
to studying for that big quiz
coming up in a few days. No
distractions to muddle your
mind. You have a blackboard,
a big desk, a great place to
study.
Knock, knock, knock."Hey,
buddy, place closes in fif­teen
minutes." Turn off the
light and shut the door when
you leave Haley Center.
Oh, well, it was good while
it lasted. Now back to the
room where you're afraid to
turn on the light because
you'll wake up your roommate;
where the guy (or gal) next
door has his stereo blasting
full volume; where the rack
looks so inviting; where, in
short, it's hard to get much
studying done.
Haley Center is a great
place to study; a lot of peo­ple
use it and it provides
plenty of room, except dur­ing
finals when even there
you can't find a vacant room..
But it surely is disgusting
to be run out just as the
studying is going good.
Upon investigating the
matter, we found that on July
17, the Haley Council met
while the only two student
members were not in school.
Rather than answer the stu­dent
request and need for
longer hours, the council pro­posed
more rigid standards
than are in current use. Cur­rently,
and since Haley Cen­ter
opened last year, it has
been open until 11 p.m. with
free access through all doors.
The new proposal reads:
"That except for the mid­dle
entrance door facing the
parking lot in the south of
the building, the building be
locked at 5 p.m. every day
and on weekends, and that
an employee be on duty from
5 to 11 p.m., when all doors
to the building are locked,
to check and .log the names
of those entering the build­ing
after hours along with
their reason therefore."
Most of the complaints to
the council have concerned
children playing in the build­ing.
Recently steps were ta­ken
to alleviate this problem,
and we hope they meet with
success. But children are
not students at Auburn Uni­versity
and they are not
usually playing in the build­ing
after 11 p.m., so this is
not a valid reason for locking
all doors at that time.
A few lights would burn
during the wee morning hours,
but this small addition to the
light bill is a small price ito
pay for the advantages of­fered.
After all, the Univer­sity
is here to afford stu­dents
an education-and that's
what Haley Center was built
for-so let's use these fac­ilities
"after hours."
Despite such negative ar­guments
as custodial and
management problems, we
feel that the need for a place
to study is a desperate one,
and that it far outweighs
other arguments. We hope
that primary consideration
will be given to the needs of
the students.
of each. It lists hundreds
of hotels, restaurants, night­clubs,
campsites, and youth
hostels in the larger cities
and devotes several shorter
chapters to some of the more
'' out-of-the-way'' place s.
The thing that is so hard
for an average American to
understand when reading the
book is that no comparison
can be drawn between Ameri­can
and European hotels and
restaurants.
It is not at all uncommon
to find a very nice hotel in
one of Europe's major cities
which charges about six
dollars a night for a double
room which includes break­fast
in bed.
Such a hotel might be far
from elegant in American
terms. It might look more like
a hotel room. The bathroom
might be down the hall.
But the room would pro­bably
be immaculately clean
and the management so friend­ly
that it's like leaving home
forever when you check out.
The restaurants are also
very different. There aren't
any hamburger stands. As a
matter of fact it's almost
impossible to eat a meal in
less than an hour. That's
simply the way it's done in
Europe.
You can buy a coke almost
anywhere in Europe, but for
the same amount of money,
about 50 cents, you can pur­chase
a whole bottle of one
of the world's finest wines.
The secret to traveling in
Europe for five dollars a
day is to do things the way
the Europeans do them. The
restaurants and hotels which
are expensive are those built
for Americans. They're de­signed
to make the average
tourist feel at home while
he misses the purpose of his
whole trip-to see what Eu­rope
and its people are like.

Environment question and contradiction
The question and contradiction of
environmental quality is not new.
What is new, however, is that to­day
time races; issues are instantly
exposed to the brilliant spotlight
of public opinion. Fancies, ideas,
and theories develop from specula­tion
to tentative concept to fash­ionable
acceptance almost over­night,
often faster than society can
evaluate them. And it is society
that eventually must determine the
direction of our actions.
Many new conditions-some ex­tremely
complex, others only vaguely
defined-have focused our attention
upon our relation to the environ­ment.
Industrially, the State of Ala­bama
is not advanced, although ex­pansion
is proceeding at a steady
rate. With less than two per cent of
the total area and approximately the
same percentage of the population,
Alabama is blessed with one of the
great river systems of the nation
providing us with surface water
resources nearly four times great­er
than the national average.
It is ironic that, with low popu­lation
and industrial density coupled
with vast quantities of water, seri­ous
pollution problems have arisen
in the past two decades. Fish kills
in certain rivers and estuaries have
been reported at- record levels, the
profitable shellfish industry is en­dangered,
recreational use of the
waters is threatened and, of course,
the recent evidence of large-scale
mercury contamination has brought
about the closing' of thousands of
acres of river and lake waters to
commercial and sport fishing, with
its attendant uncounted economic
loss. It is too early for a full as­sessment
of the effects of long-lived
insecticides on fish, fowl,
and humans, but the evidence to
date strongly suggests that the po­tential
may be great.
Air pollution has not yet become
a significant statewide iproblem,
but even now certain areas of our
state rank among the nation's lead­ers
in terms of particulate count.
Other areas of the state are perio­dically
blanketed by noxious smogs.
Land pollution, whether by poor
land management, solid-waste dis­posal,
or simply ill-conceived or
non-existent zoning laws, is in­creasing
at an accelerating rate
throughout the state. Automobile
graveyards and littered rights-of-way
offend and insult the esthetic
senses.
Contrary to the apparent belief
of some of our thoughtful citizens,
these proliferating threats to the
environmental quality in Alabama
had not gone unnoticed and, along
with the rising tide of national con­cern,
a number of individuals and
organizations, both within and with­out
government, have for many years
been expressing anxiety over the
burgeoning malaise.
The Alabama Department of Pub­lic
Health, and more recently the
Water Improvement Commission, for
20 years has fought a tedious and
dogged battle with limited funds and
personnel against water pollution
and, hopefully, will have largely
won the battle by the year 1975.
Other instruments of government
have been similarly committed. The
resolution of air pollution problems
has only begun but, because of
rising public and private concern,
there is every expectation that abate­ment
will proceed at a far greater
pace than was the case in the early
years of water pollution control.
It is imperative that the environ­mental
question be put in perspec­tive
if a concerted, rational course
of action toward a solution is to
be determined. Requisites of a
perspective are an understanding
of our history, culture and life­styles;
an appreciation of the re­search,
development, and imple­mentation
of environmental activi­ties;
a definition of our objective
which will measure what we are
willing to sacrifice.
One central fact is beginning to
surface-there is no way to avoid
the costs of pollution. Either we
tolerate the more and more costly
consequences of pollution, or we
must accept the costs of pollution
control and prevention. There is
no other choice.

Copeland wants to start at the
top where the speakers are con­cerned.
Contracted for April ses­sions
are Gloria Sleinem and
Dorothy Pitman, both organizers
and leaders in the National Wo­men's
Liberation Movement. Oth­er
speakers are being sought
out by Copeland and his com­mittee,
who are negotiating more
contracts.
Speakers will concentrate on
in-depth discussion of the is­sues
in which they are involved.
There will be a wide range of
speakers, according to Cope­land,
with the time of appearance
being spaced out.
The conference, as planned by
Copeland, will not be slanted
particularly liberal, conserva­tive,
right wing or left wing in
emphasis but will embody di­versified
views on the topics
covered.
The sessions will not be lim­ited
to speeches exclusively.
Film presentations and exhibits
are; hoped to be included. The
idea is to make the program more
appealing to the student by mak­ing
it easy to attend and having
the program designed so that
the average student can find a
subject with which he can iden­tify.
Copeland requests that sug­gestions
for topics and speakers
be called into the Ombudsman
(826-4216) or voiced to him at
the Union Building.

SEX AND BEER FOR FREE
The free university is a current trend on campuses
across the nation and was created to explore subject mat­ters
too new or radical to be included in regular university
curricula. At -Washington State University, the free univer­sity
goes even further.
The WSU free university offers courses in contemporary
sexuality, existentialism, mountain climbing, world prob­lems,
and women's liberation, as well as brewing.
The sex courses are taught by a staff of five professors.
Topics for weekly lectures include human sexual response,
pre-marital and non-marital sexual behavior and emerging
styles of marriage caused by sexual freedom and pornogra­phy.
The brewing class has proven to be a very popular course
in past semesters and is being offered again. Mountain
climbing will also be offered with weekend expeditions.

by the chronological shackles
with which Auburn coeds must
live.
For comparison, I consulted
with several coworkers who had
attended various institutions,
namely; Purdue, Penn State,
Southern Illinois, Central Michi­gan,
Central Michigan, Maryland,
and Appalachian State. In each
case all coeds with sophomore
standing or above are allowed
to reside in apartments provided
they maintain passing grades.
At SIU, Maryland, and Purdue,
there are no curfews for upper-c
l a s s women even during the
week. Central Michigan permits
visitation in women's dorms un­til
11:30 p.m. six nights a week.
Among this group, Penn State
features coed dormitories. A more
extensive survey would no doubt
reveal more of the same.
I would venture to state that
the same parents who advocate
strict curfews for their daughters
would be justifiable insulted if
told their offspring were less ma­ture
and responsible than girls
of the same age from Illinois or
Maryland.
The existing regulations seem
to have two objectives in mind:
enforced chastity and study by
coercoin, both of which are
closely akin to making the horse
drink the proverbial water. Ac­tually,
they serve to compromise
the integrity of many women by
forcing them to seek means of
circumventing the cumbersome
regulations.

Students ask,
'Where's Fred?'
Editor, The Plainsman:
Many people have been re­freshing
our memories with the
events of spring quarter, but one
event that splashed across the
headlines of the illustrious
Plainsman last spring that has
hitherto gone unmentioned is the
speaker ban controversy in the
Education Department. So for
all of you-administration and
students alike-I'd like to bring
it up again.
My main reason for this action
is that there are still repercus­sions.
For one thing, where is
Fred Schug? If you will recall,
he is one of the gentlemen whose
job was threatened if he didn't
stop the FED speaker series.
He was a little more coura­geous
than the rest in that he
was not afraid to adroit that the
loss of his job was implicated.
But all of this is in the past;
where is Fred now?
We were assured at the end of
the quarter that everything had
been settled, no one's job was
at stake, and everything could
be worked out between the ad­ministration
and students through
the "proper channels."
Well, here it is fall and no
Fred. I've been told that he
wasn't fired, but that there are
other ways a university (and
I use the term loosely) can let
a person know he is not want­ed.
Okay, he left on his own
accord, but why did he feel he
had to go.?
Why is this "institution of
higher learning" so afraid that
we are going to learn something
from someone? What is wrong
with an administration that is
afraid of an instructor who wears
wire-frames and has a beard, of
an instructor who wants his
students to learn just for learn­ing's
sake, and of an instructor
who will not lie to his students
for any reason.
If the administration continues
to be just a "little" dishonest
and underhanded with the stu­dents,
how can they expect trust
and cooperation from the stu­dent
body?

Graduate scholarship
deadlines draw near
Now is the time for all prospective grad­uate
students to submit applications to
various foundations which provide finan­cial
support for graduate study in this
country and abroad.
Woodrow Wilson, Danforth and National
Science Foundation fellowships are avail­able,
as well as Rhodes and Fulbright
Scholarships. The deadline for applica­tions
for National Science Foundation
fellowships is Nov. 30, and for regular
postdoctoral fellowships, Dec. 7.
The deadline for Rhodes Scholarships
is Oct. 31. For Fulbright scholarships, the
deadline is Dec. 1.
The Woodrow Wilson and Danforth
fellowships are limited to students who be­gin
graduate study in preparation for a
career in college teaching. Both grants
stress the humanities and social sciences,
but some awards are made to students pur­suing
graduate studies in mathematics
and science. Approximately 250 Woodrow
Wilson and 120 Danforth awards are made
each year to men and women.
For women whose education has been
postponed or interrupted for at least three
years, special fellowships are awarded by
the Danforth Foundation. The same founda­tion
also has added Postgraduate Black
Studies Fellowships.
The amount of the Danforth grants var­ies
according to circumstances. At mini­mum,
it provides a stipend for living ex­penses
and pays full tuition and fees.
Woodrow Wilson awards average $3,000,
plus allowances for dependent children.
Graduate study may be undertaken at any
recognized American university, but pref­erably
not the same university or college
which awarded the undergraduate degree.
The Rhodes Scholarship and the Ful­bright
grants are for study abroad. Thirty-two
Rhodes awards for $3,300 are made
annually to unmarried male students be­tween
the ages of 18 and 24 to study .at;
Oxford University in England. The selec­tion
committee stresses character and con­tribution
to the community, as well as in­tellect.
Fulbright scholarships and grants awar­ded
by various foreign governments enable
hundreds of Americans to study in univer­sities
in Europe, Latin America, Africa
and Asia. Fulbright grants cover tuition,
living expenses and travel. The awards
made by the foreign states vary.
For National Science Foundation Fellow­ships
applications may be made by col­lege
seniors, graduate students working
in a degree program and individuals wish­ing
to do post doctoral work. All appli­cants
must be citizens of the United States
and will be judged solely on the basis of
ability. Selection will be made by outstand­ing
scientists and awards announced on
March 15.
Postdoctoral and graduate fellowships
will be awarded for study in the mathe­matical,
physical, medical, biological,
engineering, and certain social sciences,
and in the history and/or philosophy of
science. Awards will not be made in clin­ical,
education or business fields, nor in
history or social work, nor for work toward
medical or law degrees.
In the postdoctoral program only, fellow­ships
will be offered for applied and em­pirical
studies in the field of law which
employ the methodology of the social
sciences or which interrelate with research
in the natural or social sciences.
Also in the postdoctoral program, a
limited number of awards will be made in
interdisciplinary areas. Persons holding
a doctorate in one field and wishing to
undertake high-level work in another area
of study supported by the National Sci­ence
Foundation may apply in this compe­tition.
Applicants for the graduate awards will
be required to take the Graduate Record
Examinations designed to test scientific
aptitude and achievement. The examina­tions,
administered by the Educational
Testing Service, will be given on Dec.
12 at designated centers throughout the
United States and in certain foreign coun­tries.
The annual stipends for Graduate Fel­lows
are as follows: $2,400 for the first-year
level; $2,600 for the intermediate
level; and $2,800 for the terminal-year
level. The basic annual stipend for Post­doctoral
Fellows is $6,500. Dependency
allowances and allowances for tuition,
fees and limited travel will also be pro­vided
in both programs.
Further information and application ma­terials
may be obtained from the Fellow­ship
Office, National Research Council,
2101 Constitution Ave., N. W., Washington,
D. C. 20418.
Students who are interested in Wilson
or Danforth Fellowships or Rhodes or Ful­bright
Scholarships are urged to contact

Birth control-
A need at Auburn?
Friday, October 9, 1970 7- THE AUBURN PUINSMAN
Abstinence from sexual
intercourse in considered by
many to be the most ef­fective
way of preventing
unwanted pregnancies among
single women. But it is
generally recognized that
this form of birth control is
not universally practiced.
Here at Auburn, unwanted
and/or illegitimate preg­nancies
do occur, though
their precise incidence is
impossible to determine.
Aside from girls who be­come
pregnant, many others
practice pre-marital sex at
Auburn. Again, no statistics
are available, but according
to a survey taken last spring
of girls in Gene Ida Hall,
the off-campus experimental
dorm for junior and senior
women, 55 per cent of the
girls living in the dorm were
not virgins.
This does not mean that
55 per cent of all girls on
campus practice pre-mari­tal
sex, but it does illustrate
that some girls do.
The need for birth con­trol
at Auburn is not agreed
upon by all students." I don't
really think there is a need,"
said one junior coed. "Most
of my friends don't need it,
I may be awfully naive about
it," she added.
Another girl disagreed.
"I think anyone who thinks
they need birth control should
have It; not just at Auburn,
but everywhere," the senior
said.
"There is a need for birth
control at Auburn, even
though everyone may not
practice pre-marital sex,"
she continued.
The coed added that she
had several friends who used
birth control pills.
Other girls said that even
though they may not practice
pre-marital sex themselves,
they thought there was a
stack them on the shelves.
According to Dr. Nell Pot­ter
at Florida, the policy
was tightened about two
years ago after the appea­rance
of an article on birth
control in the student news­paper.
Before the article, said
Dr. Potter, any student could
get a prescription for the
pills, but since the adminis­tration
disapproved of the
article informing the stu­dents
of what was availa­ble,
it got stricter and de­manded
a letter from the
parents if a girl was under
21 years of age.
"It was widely known by
the student population that
they were available, but
if you bring it to a con­frontation
you're in trouble,"
she said.
At the University of Geor­gia,
prescriptions are given
at the student health ser­vice
to any girl who is over
21, or to younger girls if
they are living away from
home and supporting them­selves.
According to doctors at
the health service, girls
under 21 and under the fi­nancial
control of their pa­rents
are required to have
parental permission. An
examination is required.
At the University of Ala­bama,
the prescribing of birth
control pills is again a mat*
ter between the doctor and
the student, but they are
prescribed at the student)
health service. Doctors at
Alabama said they give
prescriptions to unmarried
coeds who plan on getting
married or with "the consent
of everyone concerned."
It depends on age and cir­cumstances,
the doctors
said.
having an illegitimate child
far outweighs any moral in­hibitions
I might have about
giving out the pill," he
stated. He felt that the Uni­versity
ought to prescribe
the pills for this same rea­son.
According to this doctor,
many unmarried girls asked
him for the pills, and he
usually gave an examination
before prescribing them. Most
of the girls said they were
getting married, he said.
DOCTORS DISAGREE
A second doctor, also a
general practitioner, .does
not prescribe pills to anyone
but married women. "I guess
the idea has filtered back
to girls at the University,"
he said, because they no
longer come to me for them."
A gynecologist in the area
said he prescribed birth
control pills to a girl "if
she appeared to be emo­tionally
mature."
"You can usually tell in
the first 10 minutes what the
girl wants the pills for and
why she buys them," he
said. He added that most
of the girls who came to
him appeared to be pretty
mature.
Many of his pills were
prescribed to unmarried
girls who had menstrual
disorders, he said.
He did not believe that
it was the place of the Uni­versity
to teach birth con­trol,
and he did not think
the University should take
it upon itself to prescribe
the pills to anyone who
wanted them. "They need
to be prescribed, and girls
need to be seen at regular
intervals," he said. "This
is one reason why they
should not be given out at
the University indiscriminate-need
for birth control and
information concerning the
subject at Auburn.
One might wonder, con­sidering
the number of stu­dents
who practice pre­marital
sex, along with mar­ried
students, if contracep­tive
devices are readily a-vailable
at Auburn.
Foams, jellies, and vari­ous
other marketable pro­ducts
are on the shelves of
any drugstore, but their
effectiveness is somewhat
dubious. Birth control pills
are recognized by medical
authorities to, be the most
efficient means of birth
control. Can the pills be
obtained in Auburn?
AUBURN POLICY
Auburn has a written poli­cy
on birth control. "It is
the policy of Auburn Uni­versity
not to prescribe or
dispense devices, drugs, or
medication for contracep­tive
purpose," says a state
ment signed Sept. 2, 1966,
by Pres. Harry M. P'-'ipott.
This statement precludes
the dispensing of birth con­trol
items at the Auburn in­firmary.
"The only people we give
birth control pills to are
married students under spe­cial
circumstances," said
Dr. William Turk, head of
Drake Infirmary. He cited
examples of married students
who had lost their pres­criptions
or run out of pills.
"We give them just enough
to hold them over until they
can get their prescription
back from their regular doc­tor,"
he said.
OTHER SCHOOLS
In comparison with other
schools, the University of
Florida has been giving
prescriptions for birth con­trol
pills to students for
five years. Single girls are
given prescriptions after
appropriate examinations
at the student health ser­vice,
and they have to buy
the pills downtown because
there is not enough room to
TURK'S OPINION
"If I had a daughter some­where
at another school
and she went to the infirm­ary
and they prescribed
the pill for her, I'd sure do
a lot of hollering," said
Auburn's Dr. Turk. "That
might just be an old-fash­ioned
idea," he added.
Dr. Turk said his personal
opinion is that giving out
the pill would only encourage
girls to practice pre-marital
sex.
"The only reason I would
see giving them to unmarried
students," he said, "would
be if they has some men­strual
disturbance that re­quired
the pill." He said
he would also require a com­plete
physical examination.
"Authorities on birth
control recommend that be­fore
you put someone on the
pill, they should have a com­plete
physical," said Dr.
Turk. "We just don't have
the facilities."
Birth control pills can be
procured from some doctors
in Auburn, but different doc­tors
have different policies.
One general practitioner
prescribes the pills for any
unmarried girl.
"The tragedy of anyone
ly. If the University is going
to prescribe them, it should
be done by a regular health
officer."
PHYSICIAN IS LIABLE
According to another doc­tor,
"The physician is legal­ly
liable for damages if he
treats a patient under 21
without parental consent.
For this reason, I don't give
birth control pills to unmar­ried
minors unless they have
parental permission or are
planning to get married."
He said that most of the
girls who asked for the pills
said they were planning on
getting married.
Girls do not need an ex­amination
because most of
the pills were the same, he
said.
This doctor's answer to
the population problem was
to withhold drugs from
gonorrhea patients. When
therapeutic drugs are with­held
from a person with
gonnorrhea, he becomes
sterile, the doctor said.
"This would get rid of
the segment of the popula­tion
who doesn't want to
go by the rules," he said,
"since gonorrhea is in­separable
from immorality."
Administrators
Methods of contraception
vary in effectiveness
METHODS AND DEVICES
for preventing conception
have been in evidence al­most
since the beginning
of time, but since about
1960, oral contraceptives,
more frequently known as
"the pill," have moved to
the top of the list of con­traceptive
methods.
According to studies by
authorities, there are more
than 20 oral contraceptive
preparations on the market
today, and 8.5 million women
take the pill each month.
The pill, which acts by
inhibiting ovulation, is al­most
100 per cent effective
if taken regularly. In reports
compiled since 1962, the
rate of pregnancies for wo­men
taking the pill is only
0.1 per 100 women per year.
This figure does not include
pregnancies resulting from
from the omission of the
tablets.
Fear of breast cancer or
blood clots has frightened
many women recently. Ac­cording
to Dr. Charles E.
Flowers Jr., professor and
chairman of the Department
of Obstetrics and Gynecology
at the University of Alabama
School of Medicine, there
is a slight chance that
blood clots might develop
from use of the pill, more
often occurring with people
who have high blood pres­sure.
Incidence of thrombo­embolic
disease is three
times higher in women taking
the oral contraceptive, a
survey of women of repro­ductive
age showed.
Statistics show that more
people die from the birth
of children each year than
from taking the pill. In the
United Kingdom, mortality
attributed to use of the oral
contraceptive is three per
100,000 per year. The risk
of maternal life is 25 per
100,000 pregnancies, and
this does not include illegal
abortions. Comparable rates
in the United States are
slightly higher proportionate­ly.
For those who shy away
from the birth control pill,
Drugstore tkpby
Contraceptive preparations such as these are available
on any drugstore shelf, although their effectiveness is
sometimes questioned by medical authorities.
the intrauterine device (IUD)
is almost as effective. There
are only two or three preg­nancies
per year per 100
resulting from use of the
IUD.
The device comes in
several shapes and sizes,
and must be inserted by a
doctor. One problem as­sociated
with the IUD is
internal bleeding. The IUD
is best used by a woman
who has already been preg­nant.
The diaphragm, which
should be used along with
spermicidal jelly, is also
considered fairly effective.
About three or four women
out of every 100 become
pregnant each year using
this method. Failures may
result from dislocation of
the diaphragm or improper
placement in the vagina.
When men do the prevent­ing
rather than women, the
condom, which appeared
early in the 18th century but
did not come into common
use until the late 19th cen-turv,
is generally used.
By 1960 annual U.S. re­tail
sales of condoms was
estimated at about $150
million. The condom proves
ineffective about 15 per cent
of the time.
Vasectomy, a relatively
simple operation, can be
performed on men without
impairing their sexual abi­lities.
The operation in­volves
the surgical cutting
of the male vas deferens to
induce permanent sterility.
Withdrawal before ejuacu-lation
is also sometimes used
as a contraceptive measure,
but is considered to be very
unreliable since some sperm
are released before ejacula­tion.
The general consensus
is that the rhythm method, in
which people practice sexual
abstinence during certain
periods in the menstrual
cycle, is not reliable. Forty
out of every 100 women who
use the rhythm method be­come
pregnant each year.
Vaginal foams and jel­lies,
which act by killing
make sperm, are also on the
market and can be bought
without prescription.
contraceptives
What do various members of Auburn's administration
think of the possibility of making contraceptives available
to unmarried female students at Auburn for the purpose of
preventing pregnancies?
The Plainsman talked with University representatives,
including Dean of Women Katharine Cater; James E. Foy,
dean of student affairs; Dr. Floyd Vallery, assistant to the
president; Miss Mary Bradley, assistant to the dean of wo­men;
Dean of the School of Home Economics Norma Comp-ton;
and two housemothers, to find out how they felt about
the possibility.
Most of the seven administrators questioned emphasized
that the view they expressed was strictly their personal
opinions and did not reflect an official administration
view. Five of those surveyed did not know that an official
policy about distributing contraceptives exists.
The statement signed by Pres. Harry M. Philpott on
Sept. 2, 1966 says: "It is the policy of Auburn University
not to prescribe or dispense devices, drugs or medications
for contraceptive purposes."
ALL SAY 'NO'
Although five had no knowledge of the statement, all
seven agreed that contraceptives should not be made avail­able
to the unmarried coed through the University.
"I agree with the University's policy, both as an admin­istrator
and in my own personal convictions," said Dr. Val­lery.
Dean Cater would make no comment beyond answering
no to all questions.
"It's a private matter between patient and doctor," was
heard from almost every one of the University representa­tives.
Such an extremely personal matter must be decided
between the individual and her physician, they felt. The
University has no place in the decision; it is for this rea­son
the administrators think that contraceptives are not
available through the University.
"There are deep moral convictions connected with such a
matter," said Miss Bradley. "I would hope that this would
have something to do with such a decision.
"Any kind of educational institution has to bring out
the best in people," she added and concluded that dispen­sing
birth control devices to unmarried girls would not do
so.
Is there a need for contraceptives to be easily available
here at Auburn? Here opinion divided, with most of those
interviewed concluding that there is not. One housemother
said she does not think there is such a need but that "she
doesn't really know." Another said the need here is "the
same as any other place because men and women are hu­man
beings."
AFFECTS MORALS
Do administrators think that easy access to contracep­tives
would make a difference in the morals of the girls?
Dean Foy feels that "availability can't help but make a
difference. It would be removing one of the age-old deter­rents-
fear of pregnancy."
Miss Bradley said that she fears easy access might
sway the young who are away from home for the first time.
One of the housemothers "doesn't really think so" and
feels that "it depends on the individual."
"I think it might (make a difference) if the only reason a
girl holds to her morals is fear," said Dean Compton.
All of the University officials felt that University dis­tribution
of contraceptives would be interpreted as a Uni­versity
sanction of sexual promiscuity.
SAFETY OF PILLS
In discussing contraceptives, both Miss Bradley and
Dean Compton mentioned the questions raised about the
safety of birth control pills as a contracpetive and its ef­fects
on women. Dean Compton cited the need of a pa­tient's
doctor to judge whether that patient can safely use
the pill. Aside from the ethical aspect, her reservations on
wholesale distribution are based on the feeling that the pill
should first be proven medically sound before indiscrimi-nant
distribution of any kind.
All of the administrators, in dealing with the questions
of birth control for the unwed coed, expressed deep con­cern
for the well-being of the girls. It seemed impossible
to separate their attitudes on contraceptives from views on
morality and what is best for each girl on a long-term ba­sis.
While several expressed the belief that Auburn students
are among the finest in the nation, they also cited in­stances
of nameless girls whose lives were changed be­cause
of unwanted pregnancies, early unplanned marri­ages
or indiscriminate "sleeping around."
It is because of these examples that most could not
answer the questions without explaining their concern
about the effects of pre-marital sex on both the women
and men of Auburn.
Students disagree on University involvement concerning birth control pill
Unwanted children can,
like forest fires, be pre­vented.
Should, then, the Univer­sity
assume a Smokey Bear
role by providing women
students, regardless of their
marital status, with the
pill?
"Yes," said Mrs. Fred
Van Hartesveldt, a recent
Auburn graduate and an
active supporter of the Ze­ro
Population Growth move­ment.
"I dpnt' think any­body
is going to refrain
from sex because of fear of
pregnancy."
"Society should try to
make contraceptives avail­able
to anyone who wants
them to avoid overpopula­tion
and the personal trag­edy
of an unwanted preg­nancy,"
she continued.
CONSERVATIVE VIEW
For AWS President Lucy
McCord, 4EED, the answer
was no.
"I'm a conservative per­son.
I still believe in the
traditional viewpoint that
birth control should be the
concern of those who are
married," she said.
"This is a matter a girl
should talk over with her
own doctor. I don't think
the infirmary would have
the time," she commented.
"I think somebody should
provide girls with the pill,
but I don't think it's the
University's place," said
one senior male. "It'd be
too much of a hassle."
He suggested Lee Coun­ty
Hospital as one alterna­tive
to the University as a
dispensary for the pill.
Drake Infirmary should
dispense the pill, accord­ing
to a sophomore male.
' 'All hospitals should
provide the pill if we are
to control population," he
said. "Since the University
infirmary is our hospital, it
should furnish girls with
the pill. They are in the
custody of the infirmary
while they're away from
home just like they're un­der
their family doctor at
home."
NOT ASPIRIN
One junior elementary
education major stated her
objection to University in­volvement
in the birth con­trol
issue with four words:
"It's not like aspirin."
"Use of the pill is not a
majority way of life and the
University serves the major­ity.
It shouldn't take money
away from the majority to
serve the minority," said
another girl, a senior edu­cation
major.
She once had a suite-mate,
said the girl, who
continued to refill a birth
control prescription origin­ally
prescribed for the cor­rection
of menstrual prob­lems.
"She's the only one I
know of who uses the pill,"
she added.
"I know a lot of people
around campus who do use
the pill and a lot more who
would if they weren't afraid
of going to a strange doc­tor
and being embarrassed
about it," commented a
senior coed.
A junior male was equal­ly
emphatic in his support
of infirmary dispensation of
the pill: "I don't think it's
anyone's business to legis­late
morality."
"I guess girls should
have to pay for the pills if
they got them at the infirm­ary
just like they would
any other prescription," he
said.
Sara Lynn Arendall,4SED,
who heads the Panhellenic
Council, said she wouldn't
say the University'' should''
provide birth control pills,
but that it "could."
The University should
not dispense the pill with­out
providing a counselor
and a knowledgable doctor
with enough time to ade­quately
advise girls about
the use and any possible
side effects of the pill,
she explained.
THE AUBURN PUINSMMI Friday, October 9, 1970
Student
Editor's note: The following
is a letter to the Plainsman.
It was not solicited by the
Plainsman, but seemed to
fit in well with the subject
matter of the "Campus Col­or"
section, which is why
it is not being printed on the
"letters" page.
Editor, The Plainsman:
During the course of its
past service, the Auburn in­firmary
has been mercilessly
criticized and berated for
services which it does not
provide. Today Auburn Uni­versity's
own discriminatory
policy handcuffs the staff so
that they cannot increase the
number of services which
they are presently capable
of providing.
Auburn is notorious for its
discrimination against wo­men,
but in the particular in­cident
cited, the discrimina­tion
divides women students
into groups comprised of sin­gle
women students and mar­ried
women students.
On a recent visit to the in­firmary,
I questioned one of
the doctors in reference to
Auburn's policy on prescrib­ing
birth control pills. When
I informed the doctor that my
intent was directed toward
procurement of the pill by
single girls, the doctor re­plied,
' We have special in­structions
from President
Philpott not to prescribe the
pill for single women."
What kind of lunatic would
give such instructions? Pres­ident
Philpott would be a
fool to think that single wo­men
do not have the same
rights and needs in regard
to birth control.
Our infirmary could pro­vide
physical examinations
and prescriptions for birth
control at much lower cost
than a private doctor, and
it is truly tragic when these£
additional services are de­nied
the students for whom
the infirmary was built.
Auburn has long been
known for its conservatism
and outdated regulations,
but now is the time to make
a progressive move toward
alleviating the problems of
overpopulation and unwanted
pregnancy. Now is the time
for Philpott to consider the
needs of the students on a
realistic basis and cease
his attempts at pacifying the
parents and Auburn alumni
at the expense of the stu­dents.
Make the pill avail­able
to all.

By Lyn Babb
Lively Arts Editor
FIFTY YEARS OF hap­py
marriage are hymned in
"I Do! I Do!" at the Auburn
University Theatre, and
while the contents of the
musical, an adaptation by
Tom Jones of Jan de Har-tog's
"The Fourposter,"
aren't very
substan­t
i a l , the
play has
emerged as
a polished
product ion
in which
Maureen
Brown and
R. C.Torri,
the only
actors in view, disport
themselves most appealing-iy.
As Director Leo Comeau
has realized, every bit 6f
added motion-is essential,
since the plot is mired in a
clicheland where the jour­ney
through life is so pre­dictable
that it almost
seems like going nowhere.
It begins with the Wed­ding-
Night Jitters. Yes, the
groom is frightened back in­to
his pants; but Morning-
After Bliss finds the couple
beamish and breaking into a
delightful soft-shoe in their
bare feet. Comes the nine-month
dawn, or Counting
the Contractions.
"This has been going on
for millions and millions of
y e a r s , " coos Maureen
Brown reassuringly. Torri,
looking as if he were in
protracted labor pains of
his own, replies ruefully:
"How did the men ever live
through it?"
And so it goes from The
First Spat to Son's Wild
Oats-some thing involving a
bottle of bourbon. Suddenly
it is time for daughter to
leave the nest, and Fond
Father Waxes Wroth: "My
daughter is marrying an
idiot."
Autumn leaves begin dap­pling
the script, and with
their brood gone from them,
the bewigged old couple bid
farewell to a house that has
grown too big for them.
"I Do! I Do!" is slickly
packaged Broadway senti­mentality,
but under the dir­ection
of Leo Comeau, Mrs.
Brown and Torri make it
all an unexpectedly pleas­ant,
affair, and they comple­ment
each other skillfully
not only in their songs and
dances but also in the 'de­velopment
of the characters
they portray.
But the book and lyrics
remain the stumbling block,
and even Mrs. Brown, who1
handles the difficult music
well, can't make much of a
line about a child she is
soon to bear that runs,
roughly, "He kicks me
gently! with his feet."

mini-pop festival Oct. 18
in Graves Amphitheatre.
Three groups, "Oligopoly"
of Auburn, "Buddy, Larry

and "Promise" of Colum­bus,
will entertain.
Beginning at 2 p.m., the
groups will play free to all

Ticket sales for Bob Hope
going dower than expected
STUDENT TICKETS FOR
the Oct. 17 Bob Hope Show
are going slower than ex­pected,
according to SGA
director of entertainment.
David Hill.
The show is a production
of the SGA and will be pre­sented
at 8:15 p.m. Saturday
in the Memorial Coliseum.
Five thousand of the 13,000
seats available were reserved
for students. However only
2,000 of the student seats
have been sold, said Hill.
Student tickets are general
admission and cost $3. Re­served
seats are on sale for
$10, $7, $6, and 84. Most of
the $10 and 8 7 tickets have
already been sold.
Students tickets not sold
by today will be available to
the general public for $4.
There will be no more stu­dent
tickets available after
today. The $4 tickets how­ever,
may be purchased until
the night of the performance.
T i c k e t s are on sale in
room 311 of the Union Build­ing

in March.
Whelchel plays bass gui­tar,
string bass and key­boards,
and does vocals for
the group.
Aiken, a native of Colum­bus,
plays keyboards and
bass and also sings for the
group.
Lambert plays guitar,
bass, organ, clarinet, and
also sings.
Many Auburn students
were present at a concert
"Promise" gave in Pine

"The standing ovation we
got made us feel really
great," said Swenson.
The group say they are

to coming to Auburn. They
will be playing from 5 to

Plainsman Staff Writer
"Either people are going to
have to get smaller
Or the world's going to have
to get bigger
Or there's a couple other
possibilities
I'll leave it to you to lig-ger."
One solution which Pete
Seeger might consider as
the other possibilities in
his ballad "We'll All Be
A-Doubling" is the Zero
Population Growth Club.
Founded by Dr. Paul Er-lich,
author of "The Popu­lation
Bomb," the nation­wide
ZPG Club is taking
root in Auburn.
I n s t i g a t e d primarily
through the initiative of
Mrs. Mary Van Hartesveldt,
student wife and alumna,
interested individuals met
recently to form the Auburn
chapter of the Zero Popula­tion
Club.
The goal of ZPG is "to
stop the increase in the
population of the United
States by 1980, primarily
through public education
and political means," Mrs.
Van Hartesveldt, a member
of the national organiza­tion,
said.
ZPG chapters try to keep
the public aware of the
problem through such means
as distributing literature,
providing speakers and
showing films. Through
political channels, ZPG is
achieving the goal of popu­lation
stability primarily
through work for birth con­trol,
abortion reform and
changes in the tax struc­ture
which would discour­age
rather than encourage
large families.
Members lobby for legis­lation
to ease the popula­tion
explosion, write repre­sentatives
and campaign for
candidates supporting pop­ulation
and environmental
controls.
Seeing how people could
be inspired to work for en­vironment,
Mrs. VanHartes-veldt
said she began con­sidering
the formation of a
ZPG chapter during prepar­ations
for Earth Day acti­vities
last spring.
"Population is the basic
underlying problem in the
pollution crises," she said.
Pollution, crowding, crime,
and fuel shortages are all
issues linked to the popula­tion
explosion, she added.
During the organizational
meeting, committees formed
to draw up a constitution
and handle membership,
publicity and activities.
One of the major questions
under consideration by the
group is the possibility of
obtaining a charter from
SGA. As a student organi­zation,
ZPG would enjoy
the right to use University
facilities, but only students
.would be eligible for mem­bership.
Another possibility being
studied is the formation of
both a student chapter char­tered
by the SGA and a
community chapter which
would conduct joint meet­ings.
Organizing two chap­ters
would enable more peo­ple
to join.
To become part of the na­tional
ZPG, the chapter
must be formed by 10 mem­bers,
a constitution must
be drafted and half of the
dues must be contributed to
the national organization.
Annual dues total $10 per
member; student dues are
set at $4 per year. Members
receive a copy of "ZPG Na­tional
Reporter," a monthly
digest of articles and in­formation
concerning popu­lation.
A second meeting is sche­duled
for Tuesday at 7:30
p.m. in Haley Center 1234.

IN A TELEPHONE sur­vey

the possibility of Drake i In­firmary

drew reactions varying from
strong opposition to grudging*
approval.
Birth control, according to
Rev. John H. Jeffers, pastor
of the First Baptist Church,
is a matter for a family phy­sician
and not a University
physician.
"A University physician

Jeffers explained.

elude the idea of family plan­ning.
The Rev. Carl E. Jones,
pastor of the Chapel of St.
Dunstan of Canterbury, ex­pressed
strong opposition to
University involvement in a
birth control program.
"'Birth control should be
something a girl works out
with her p a r e n t s , " isaid
Jones. The University should
not be forced into the role
of a c t i n g parents, making
value judgments for a large
body of young people, he
added.
The Rev. Charles R. Britt,
pastor of the Auburn :United
Methodist Church, said he
would have "no personal
quarrel", with a University
physician if he prescribed
birth control pills to an un­married
coed because the
physician would have made
a medical decision based on
physician-patient relation­ship.
"if the same girl came to
me for counseling, it might
be a different situation," he
explained.
Many girls want and need
both religious and psycho­logical
counseling as well
as medical advice, he noted.
The associate pastor of
the First P r e s b y t e r i an
Church, the Rev. Glenn
Edgerton, favored University
dispensation of the pill.
"T think it's more immoral
to bring an unwanted child
into the world or to have an
unwanted pregnancy that
might result in abortion. I'm
not against abortion in all
cases,'but I think birth con­trol
is much better," he said.

"in a sense, it's the les­ser
of two evils. I would not
be for: using birth control for
sexual promiscuity," he con­tinued.
A g^irl should nor feel
guilty "just because she was
taking the pill," he said, but
only if she engaged in "irre­sponsible
sexual behavior''.
' 'I do not believe the ad­vent
of the pill changes the
standards of Christian re­sponsibility
in the area of
sex," he concluded.
The Rev. Paul Loeffler of
St. Michael's Catholic Church
also opposed University in­volvement
in a birth control
program.
Terming the decision to
use some form of birth control
"a question of conscience,'
Loeffler said, "I think this
is too personal a thing to
have the University make the
final decision."

Auburn Knights return for summer reunion
By MARTHA EVANS
Features Editor
THE SAXOPHONE PLAYER on the front row wore gold-rimmed
glasses and his sideburns crept below his ear
lobes. On the back row, an almost bald trumpet player in
a business suit with a "Hello! My Name Is . . . . What's
Yours?" tag on his lapel, grinned somewhat sheepishly
at his wife as he sat down to play.
The old, the young and the middle-aged gathered in Au­burn
this summer for a reunion of the Auburn Knights, a
dance band organized in 1928. Some 40 years later, the
band still books jobs, performing under the direction of
front man Milton Welch, 4SED, with Nat Michelson, 4SED,
as .business manager.
Typical of the Knights who returned for the weekend
event was Bill Hill, a piano player with the Knights from
1939-42.
He had flown from California to attend the reunion of
a group once billed as the nation's number one college
band during the height of the big band era.
"I had a helluva time at those summer gigs . . . I fell
in love once a week," the middle-aged lawyer grinned.
One tale rambled into another between bites of a steak
dinner.
Summertime, 1941. The Knights were booked for the
summer in Virginia Beach, Va.
Frank Sinatra was just another singer, according to
Hill, and he sometimes performed with the Knights when
his own group had a break.
Hill recalled a fight between drummer Buddy Rich and
Sinatra that summer.
"Rich was wearing that silly beach hat and he kept
needling Sinatra while he was singing, saying 'Yeah,
Frank, yeah.' Sinatra blacked his eye. He was a little
guy but he really knew how to fight," Hill said.
"We made 12 bucks a man-it was a pretty good dollar
in those days," the lawyer said.
Frank Speight, a mustachioed chemical engineer from
Connecticut, played trombone with the Knights from 1936-
38.
"We played twice a day at the College Inn on the bal­cony
over the restaurant for free meals. Usually there was
standing room only," he said.
The Knights were the center of campus social activity,
usually performing once a week for student dances.
The Plainsman gossip column often concentrated on
members of the Knights, including this description of
Speight: "A camera fiend, a runt, with a Casanova reputa-<
tion (a mild one). How about it, Emily Hixon?"
"I was going to Georgia Tech but I came here because
the Knights invited me to play with them and I thought it
was a privilege," he explained.
And he displayed a crumpled telegram in a scrapbook
under the title "How I Happened to Join the Knights".
It read: "Can Offer You Fifteen Dollars Week and Hotel
Room and Band For Rest Of Summer Good Fourteen Piece
Band With All Specials Join Us At Dempsey Hotel Macon
Georgia Immediately Or Before Fifteenth Job Is In Gulf port
Answer Immediately."
While Speight was on the band, an offer came from the
Music Corporation of America for a summer tour beginning
in Memphis and ending up on the west coast. The Knights
were to be billed as big-name performer Billy Shaw's
band.
The Knights accepted and the Plainsman ran a senti­mental
editorial, concluding, "Mr. and Mrs. America we
give YOU our Auburn Knights."
"I usually made enough during the summer playing with
the Knights to pay my tuition. We were all members of a
union even though we were students," he said.
"I was on the Knights during the depression. It was a
wonderful time to be in college because you couldn't get
anything working. Of course, I might have done better
academically if I hadn't been on the Knights," he said.
Johnny Hearn, now an airplane pilot in Hawaii, played
trombone with the Knights from 1940-43.
"I lived at 115 Toomer St. My room cost $9 a month and
board (three meals a day) was $22 a month.
Tuition was $32 to $35 a quarter," he said.
"The highest pay I remember the Knights getting is
$300 for a 3-hour dance at the Piedmont Driving Club in
Atlanta," he added.
"We were the best college band in the southeast. We
owned our own bus ('Bessie'). It was fairly dependable
except for the time we were going from Birmingham to
Atlanta. We got halfway there when the rear axle broke and
the right wheel assembly came off. We hitchhiked and
made our job on time," Hearn said.
"The vocalist Helen Johnson, described under a scrap-book
photograph as 'The primpin'est solidest gal of all',
always got the option on the back seat because it was
longer."
The Knights' vocabulary was always peppered with then-current
slang, according to Hearn.
"The term 'square' developed in this period and 'hun­gry'
too. For example, 'That hungry cat, what's the mat­ter
with him?' "
"And if someone requested a song like the 'Missouri
Waltz, when we were all warmed up and ready to play a
jump tune, we'd say, 'Throw that guy a biscuit!' He was
a super hungry square," he continued.
"If a guy requested something ridiculous for our sound,
the front man would turn around and pull one eyelid down.
He didn't have to say anything."
When World War II began, so many of the Knights had,
to leave school that the group disbanded.
"Mr. Toomer-his son, Shelton, was in the band-let
us put all the equipment in his basement," Hearn said.
"The band reorganized in 1946 and has been going ever
since."
Bob Wynn, once Hearn's roommate and a baritone saxa-ptione
player for the Knights, came from Tokyo to Auburn
for the summer reunion.
"It's still the big band era in Japan," he sounded grate­ful.
"Progress is progress though."
"We were just a bunch of country kids who had never
been anywhere or done anything," said Bill Hill's brother,
Bobby, who was an arranger for the Knights. "Our lives
would have been entirely different if it hadn't been for
the Auburn Knights.
"I came here in the fall of 1939 with $5.20 in my pocket
to go to school on, he said.
"We rehearsed one night a week. We had a problem get­ting
a place to practice. Students would mob the place.
We had to lock it, even for rehearsals," he grinned.
"It was like kids sneaking in a Saturday afternoon
matinee at the movies. Somebody would try to hide behind
the curtains and sneak out and open the door. The stu­dents
would pour in," Hearn added.
'We were just a bunch
of country kids who had
never been anywhere or
done anything. Our lives
would have been entirely
different if it hadn't been
for the Aubum Knights."
ffnghfs sra perform
Auburn Knights still carry on the tradi­tion
at Auburn. Milton Welch, left, and
Nat Michelson, members of the Knights,
practice with the group.
Being on the Knights meant excitement, travel, pres­tige.
Why then didn't more of the Knights continue as
professional musicians?
"Playing is not a part of family life-let's put it that
way," said Bobby Hill. "It was a means to an end, a
rough way of life really. Now it's just a real pleasant
part of the past."
But for one weekend at Auburn this summer, the present
and the past seemed to merge.
The front man would call up a number and as the pre­sent
Knights hunted for the right dog-earred sheet of
music. Wanting to play became contagious among the old-timers.
"Hey, get your ax, man!" they hollered back and forth.
"Groovy."
"Too much."
Or, as they used to say, "Solid, man, solid."

There are 12 of them at our tricky up-down-dale 2.52-mile road course. Like the old
saying goes... one good turn deserves another, and we just kept going until we had created
the mind-blowingest circuit this side of the Nurburgring.
A bit of heresy here in stock car racing country perhaps. But our inaugural Can-Am
race on September 13 proved that more turns turn on more people!
So now we're going to turn loose some 300 Porsches, MGs, Alfas, Sprites, Camaros,
Datsuns, Corvettes etc. for some fender-to-fender feuding in the country's final 1970 Sports
Car Club of America national championship points race on OCTOBER 10-11.
(Make it a big weekend by doing the game Saturday and the races Sunday!)
See the best sports car jocks going get it together in a prelude to the big American
Road Race of Champions at Road Atlanta Thanksgiving week.
You'll never be turned on by just four turns again.
Tickets: $3.00 Saturday/$5.00 Sunday (Advance tale tickets $5.00-good for both days. Paddock tag-$10.00 additional.
Racing starts at 1:15 p.m. both days. Weekend camping $2.00 per vehicle.

Clark's trot has taming effect on Wildcats
RONNIE ROSS (80) AND MICKEY ZOFKO (15) CLEAR THE WAY AS WALLACE CLARK (25) CRANKS UP FOR A 84-YARD TOUCHDOWN RETURN WITH THIRD QUARTER KICKOFF
Center, Clark beats the last Kentucky defender and, right, trots into end zone with go-ahead TD
Errors must cease
Auburn is going to score before Clemson tomorrow, I'm
sure of it, because we have an image to live up to being
ranked ninth in the nation.
I supposed it was not too bad to let the Southerners of
Southern Mississippi jump off to a 7-0 lead in the season
opener, because a good team will always show some rough
edges in the first game.
I can see how the fired up Vols got off to a 10-0 lead in
second game with the roughness still showing its presence.
And I can see how John Ray got his Kentucky team fired
up for a quick six points before the Tigers managed a field
goal to change the lights on the visitor's score board.
But I'm not going to be able to understand it if the most
powerful team in the South lets Clemson even score at all,
much less score first!
Auburn gets good scare

Cook's Corner
JOB Cook Sports Uhor
Major papers in other parts of the nation are already con­cerned
at Auburn's difficulty in overcoming Kentucky last
week.
In last Sunday's Cincinnati Inquirer, Sports Reporter
David Fuselier said, "It will probably be noted on Laugh
In next week that the Tigers in the first half out-offensed
Kentucky 237 yards to 56 and out-firstdowned it 12-2, yet
trailed 12-9 on the scoreboard."
He also described the Auburn Tigers by beginning his
article with "Eleventh-ranked Auburn looked something like
green whipped cream Saturday at Kentucky's Stoll Field.
You knew it might be good but somehow it didn't look it."
Fuselier got carried away with his humor and began to
exaggerate about how bad the mistakes had been with his
treatment of Pat Sullivan's 73-yd. bomb to Terry Beasley.
He wrote, "Auburn accidentally scored its first TD early
in the second period when end Terry Beasley took a pass
from Sullivan and ran it 73 yards past a variety of Wild­cat
defenders who neglected to attempt to tackle him."
Fuselier might not realize that when blazing hell has a
15-yard lead on you, it is very difficult to appear to be
pursuing it.

k were behind only 12-9 at
the half and weren't in
too much trouble. They
were only 3 points behind
lowly Kentucky. Then as
the third period opened
and Kentucky kicker Bob
Jones hit a school record
46-yard field goal, things
began to look as if the
Wildcats were going to
score another upset of a
nationally-ranked team.
But as the Kentucky kick-off
came down after that
field goal so did the' cur­tains.
As Wallace Clark
streaked up field for an 84
yard touchdown return all
hope for a Kentucky victory
went up in the cloud of dust
that Clark left behind.
The TD made it 15-15 and
Gardner Jett's extra point
was all the scoring that
Auburn would have needed,
although as it turned our the
Tigers went on to tack 17
more points on the board„ahd
the Tiger domination of the
Wildcats was preserved for
at least one more year.
The Tigers once again
came up with the big play
as they have done in the
past two games and also
came up with the turnovers
as they have done in the
previous games.
This time the Tigers
served the ball to the op­ponents
a total of six times
and still bettered the Wild­cats
score by 18 points. The
domination of the game de­spite
errors shows signs of
a truly great team.
For the second week in a
row the Tigers have given
up the ball on mistakes so
many times that had it been
a lesser team the outcome
would have no doubt been
reversed. Fourteen turn­overs
in the past two games
would probably have ruined
any chances of winning that
an average team would have
had.
Carrying the rushing game
for the Tigers on his should­ers
was fullback Wallace
Clark who gained 167
