[Unexpected'
Foy will retire
By John Carvalho
Editor
Auburn University Dean of
•Student Affairs Dr. James E. Foy,
[citing a desire to "step aside and
•let someone else take over,"
•announced he will retire March 31,
|l978 after 28 years at Auburn.
Foy said he made up his mind to
Iretire spring quarter and let
•Associate Dean Drew Ragan and
[Assistant Dean Garth Jenkins
[handle freshman orientation this
[past summer, because "I wanted
[freshmen to get to know people
|who would be here for four years."
Auburn President Dr. Harry M.
I Philpott, labeling Foy's announce­ment
"unexpected," said no deci­sion
has been made on who
Auburn's next dean of student
affairs will be.
"Dean Foy has not discussed it
with me yet," Philpott said. "We
plan to do some consideration and
some looking. In a situation like,
this, we'll look both within Auburn
and outside of it."
Philpott said the search for
Foy's successor will probably
begin within the next week to 10
days.
Foy informed his staff at the
Office of Student Affairs Monday
of his intention to retire. However,
official release of the news was
postponed until today.
Relaxing in the office he has
worked in since 1952, when he was
named Dean of Student Affairs by
'the late Ralph Brown Draughon,
Foy said, "I feel like I've
completed what contributions I
can make. It's been a really fun
job and satisfying.
"Unless a guy's got an insatiable
ego, he's got to give it up
eventually. All of us are replace­able,
and a student body like we
have at Auburn will make whoever
my successor is into a good man."
Although well-known for his
shouting "War Eagle!" at athletic
events and pep rallies, Foy
actually graduated from the Uni­versity
of Alabama. His father,
who edited "The Orange and
Blue," The Plainsman's predeces­sor,
died while Foy was in high
school, and his family had to move
to Tuscaloosa.
Foy got his B.A. and M.A. at
Alabama, and was assistant dean
of men and assistant dean o)
students before coming to Auburn
in 1950' as assistant dean of student
affairs. He was promoted to his
present position two years later.
During his tenure at Auburn, /
Foy has been awarded Scott
Goodnight Award, the highest

Sparkplug, was visited by two of bis many children,

department's mascot since 1968, hit it off well with
his two offspring. Dalmatians have been associated
with fire stations since the 1850s when the muscular
breed would lead horse-drawn fire trucks to fires.
Although Sparkplug has given up bis active role as
firefighter, he still amazes firemen and community

SGA President John Bush asked
Gene Oswalt late Wednesday to
rejoin the Health Committee to
replace resigning student member
John Davis.
Jarvis expected to resign
By Lauren Steele
And Dick Parker
Plainsman Staff Writers
At a closed meeting Tuesday after­noon,
Dr. Harold Grant told University
Health Committee members he expect­ed
Health Center Director Garth L.
Jarvis to resign, a committee source
revealed early Thursday morning.
"Dr. Grant said he (Jarvis) would
resign (as director), but stay on as a
member of the medical staff," the
source said.
At the Board of Trustees meeting at
the beginning of fall quarter, President
Harry M. Philpott told the trustees,
Jarvis would resign as director, but stay
on as a staff physician, a person present
at the meeting said.
Contacted late Wednesday, Grant
refused to deny Jarvis had not resigned.

"At this time, I cannot accurately say
he hasn't resigned," Grant said.
"However, I cannot accurately say he
has."
Grant did say Jarvis is willing to
resign, if his resignation is in the best
interests of the Health Center.
"We don't have everything worked
out," Grant said. "We will have a
complete statement (next) Wednesday
afternoon. Things are still in process."
"We are working to get conditions
over there (at the Health Center)
stable," Grant continued.
Grant said a premature announce­ment
of resignation discussions might
hinder the proceedings.
"We will have it all worked out next
Wednesday," Grant said.
Grant said he had not had time to talk
with Health Center personnel about
possible changes.
Contacted late Wednesday, Jarvis
refused to comment.
"As I've said time and time again,"
Jarvis said, "any statements coming
from the Health Center must come from
University Relations."
University Relations Director J. Her­bert
White denied any knowledge of a
Jarvis resignation.
At press time, both Philpott and
committee head Dr. Patricia Teer could
not be reached for comment.
Contacted Wednesday, faculty com­mittee
member Dr. David Newton said
the committee had agreed to let
chairman Teer release the statement.
The University Health Committee
recommended to Philpott in August that
Jarvis's resignation be accepted.
"Due to the subject of the
recommendations being discussed,
I feel that John is at a definite
disadvantage in these delibera­tions,"
Bush said.
Oswalt resigned Sept. 28 citing
the "secrecy" of the committee as
his primary reason for leaving.
"The students have a right, not
just a privilege, to know about the
conclusions to which our commit­tee
came," Oswalt said.
Bush, who served as summer
replacement for Al Thompson on
the committee, said, "I whole­heartedly
agree with the position
taken by Gene last week in
response to the open meeting and
secrecy issue.
"I will submit Gene Oswalt's
name to the Student Senate for
reappointment to the Health Com­mittee.
Gene has been very
instrumental in the decisions of
the committee and has great
knowledge of all areas of this
report," Bush said.
Thompson and Davis attended a
Health Committee meeting Tues­day,
but neither would comment
on the proceedings.
"I told the committee," Thomp­son
said, "that I would keep
everything in confidence. We
agreed to have one spokesman for
the whole committee.
"I didn't realize the importance
of the issue when I made the
agreement, Thompson said. "I
wish I could tell you what
happened, but I gave my word I
wouldn't talk, so I can't, now."
Thompson said his status on the
committee will be significantly
different at future meetings.
"I think everything should be
public," Thompson said, "as is in
the law.
"Anything which has to do with
the welfare of students or Univer­sity
policy and doesn't deal with
the confidentially of another per­son
should be open," Thompson
said.
"If I had realized the magnitude
of the decisions being made, I
would not have agreed to keep
quiet," he added.
The Student Senate passed a
resolution Tuesday night con­demning
the secrecy of the Health
committee.
"The Student Senate vehemently
opposes the closed meetings of the
University Health Committee,"
the Senate wrote, "and urges that

Court plans session
in Auburn Friday
Claims special interests control Alabama legislature
By Lauren C. Steele
NewsEditor
Atty. Gen. Bill Baxley told
several hundred students and
faculty members here Wednesday
the number one problem facing
the state is special interest group
domination of the Alabama Legis­lature.
Although he said most legisla­tors
begin their terms as honest
and sincere elected officials, the
unannounced candidate for gover­nor
said many fall into a trap laid
by lobbyists.
Baxley was on the Auburn
campus as the first speaker in a
series of lectures by five guberna­torial
candidates. The late after­noon
speech drew an overflow
crowd to the Pharmacy Building
auditorium.
Baxley said if he is elected
governor he will head off special
interest group efforts to influence
legislators.
The attorney general, scheduled
to speak on the Alabama court
system, gave no formal talk, but
answered audience questions.
Several persons asked Baxley
about his office's recent opinions
concerning closed meetings. He
said his rulings do not carry the
weight of law, but are simply
advisory opinions.
Baxley reiterated his objections
to closed meetings and said
Auburn University's Board of
Trustees is definitely prohibited
from holding secret sessions.
Baxley said if he is elected
governor, he will press for
strengthening the state's Sunshine
Law.
Baxley used his Auburn appear­ance
to comment on Lt. Gov. Jere
Beasley's recent attacks on higher
education. He accused Beaaley,

.says AU Trustees can't legally hold closed meetings
By Lauren C. Steele

The Alabama State Supreme
Court will convene on the Auburn
campus Friday to hear three
cases in the Union Ballroom.
Deputy Court Clerk Dorothy
Norwood said the high court is
meeting in various cities around
the state so the people can see
the court system in action and
more fully understand the appel­late
court process.
The first case will begin at 9
a.m. No one will be allowed to
enter or exit the ballroom during
the proceedings.
The hearing will last 50 min­utes,
with both state and defense
attorneys given 25 minutes to
present their cases.
Subsequent cases will be heard
at 10:10 and 11:10 a.m.
Perry Mason type courtroom
drama is not an accurate descrip­tion
of the formal Supreme Court
proceedings. For one thing, the
impressionable jury will be ab­sent,
and defendants do not testi­fy-
Both attorneys file written
briefs and argue the merits of the
case before the panel of justices.
The first case is a review of an
appellate court decision affirming
the conviction of Jerry Burkes of
assault with intent to ravish. The
case is being reviewed on a writ
of certiorari.
At his original trial, Burkes had
been charged with rape, but was
convicted of the lesser charge. He
is now claiming the Marshall
County Circuit Judge erred in
instructing the jury that he could
be convicted of the lesser offense.
The second case is being consi­dered
by the court on a petition
by the state.
The Circuit Court of Appeals
reversed the conviction of Thom­as
H. Caylor of charges stem­ming
from a barroom shooting in

Fearless f iredog rides truck, even skis
By Lauren C. Steele
News Editor
"He's seen everything, been
everywhere and done every­thing."
That's a bold description for
anyone — but fireman Paul
Reeves wasn't referring to an
ordinary man, but to Auburn's
resident firedog and canine-about-town,
the renowned Sparkplug.
Sparkplug, a pure-bred Dalma­tian,
belongs to the Auburn Fire
Department. The firemen, proud
of their mascot, have some wild
tales about the muscular, nine-year-
old, black-and-white dog.
According to firemen Reeves,
Steve Tucker and Allen McCord,
Clark Kent's Superdog "ain't got
nothin' on Plug."
His athletic prowess includes
riding motorcycles, McCord said,
and sitting comfortably on the
seat with his paws grasping the
gas tank.
He also water skis — a feat too
complicated to explain fully.
Sparkplug dives, and not from
such ho-hum heights as ordinary
diving boards. Reeves said the
fearless firedog once leapt from
Chimney Rock on Lake Martin —
a drop of more than 25 feet.
Plug is also well educated,
having attended classes at Haley
Center for a number of years.
Although Sparkplug may not
have ever put out a fire, he's
seen plenty of them.
"Plug" used to sleep on the old
American-La France truck and
answer calls with us," McCord
said.
"He'd just jump up on the
truck and ride to the fire with us,
but he can't get up on the new
trucks."
Speeding through crowded
streets on a screaming hook-and-ladder
truck is any little boy's
dream, but Plug has first-hand
knowledge of the dangers in- c l a t e Dalmatians with firemen
volved. and fire stations.
The Auburn Plainsman
Once, en route to a fire, the
bright red truck took a sharp
turn at Toomer's Corner and
Plug, along for the ride, ended up
sprawled out on the sidewalk.
The Fire Department got its
mascot in 1968, when the fire­fighters
took up a collection to
buy Sparkplug. He's been one of
the boys ever since.
The tradition of Dalmatians
hanging around firehouses goes
back to the 1800s. Known also as
coach dogs, the fleet-footed Dal­matian
used to run between the
wheels of horse-drawn firetrucks.
Sometimes the dogs would lead
the horses to a fire.
Although horse-drawn fire
trucks have gone the way of
clean politics, people still asso-
Plug makes his home at the
station, but that doesn't mean he
sits around all day — the whole
town is his territory.
"He covers the city limits,"
Tucker said. "He'll leave in the
morning and be gone all day; but
he'll be back by dark."
Sparkplug is quite a Romeo
away from the station. Reeves
said the handsome Dalmatian has
fathered well over 100 firedogs in
East Alabama, and his services
are in constant demand.
"There is one guy who uses
Plug to breed a lot," Reeves said,
"and when he drives up behind
the station, Plug starts to grin­ning."
Reeves said Sparkplug jumped
in the man's open car window
downtown one day because he
recognized his Rambler.
"Everybody in town knows
him," Reeves said. "People even
tie notes on him for us."
The messages vary from "wash
your dog" to "saw Plug today" to
"Merry Christmas."
The mascot is a favorite for
school tours of the fire station.
"All the kids ask for him,"
Tucker said, "and they're really
disappointed if he isn't here."
And people don't forget Plug at
Christmas. When community resi­dents
bring the firefighters cook­ies
and cakes, they often bring a
nicely wrapped box of dog bis­cuits
for the popular Plug.
Sparkplug has an even disposi­tion,
playing gently with both
children and adults, but he was
once quite a terror to other dogs.
"He used to like to fight a lot,"
one of his masters said. "He'd
tackle any dog that came up the
street. This was his territory."
"But Plug is getting older," he
continued, "and now he pretty
much relies on bluff."
And perhaps his rough-and-tough
reputation.
Plug usually gets his way
around the station house, and if
he wants in after a long day of
traveling, he has a common sense
way of expressing his desires: he
knocks on the door.
Plug is an unusually shaped
Dalmatian, with bulging neck and
chest muscles and a short, broad
head. And he's a prizewinner,
having captured several trophies
in local dog shows, for friendliest
dog of course and dog with
the most spots.

OPIE SMITH MAKES A POINT
...clarifies himself on amendment
By Dick Parker
Asst. News Editor
The Student Senate overwhelm­ingly
approved a resolution Tues­day
night which said it "'vehe­mently
opposes the closed meet­ings
of the University Health
Committee and...stands united in
its wish for swift adoption of the
University Health Committee's
recommendation verbatum —
without amendments."
With only Senator Linda John­son
opposing the resolution au­thored
by Rusty Parker, Rick
Abbott, Opie Smith and Tavia
Copenhaver, the Senate further
resolved "that all citizens of this
state join in condemnation of the
apparent administration secre­cy."
Johnson voted nay because she
said she didn't fully understand
the recommendations. Johnson
said she couldn't vote for some­thing
she hadn't read carefully.

Senate also approved an acade­mic

President Harry M. Philpott's
Alcohol Control further questions miniature bottles
By Becki Thomas
Plainsman Staff Writer
Auburn students toasting a War
Eagle victory in their favorite pub
may be drinking alcohol from
large, free-pour bottles instead of
from miniatures that are now in
Alabama's bars, restaurants and
hotels.
That's now in the hands of the
Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC)
Board, Gov. George C. Wallace
and perhaps the legislature.
Two years ago, the three-mem-.
ber governor-appointed board de­cided
to abolish the little bottles.
But the new rule has never gone
into effect because of court suits
filed by the cities of Huntsville and
Montgomery.
Wallace has asked the Board to
reconvene as soon as possible, and
also to keep the miniatures.
In 1975, W.A. Roberts of Bir­mingham
was one of two board
members who voted to abolish the
miniatures. His term has since
expired, and he is serving until a
successor can be appointed.
ABC Board Chairman Frank
Potts of Florence voted to keep the
small bottles, and a third member,
John FM. Harbert of Birmingham,
also opposes the change. Both are
still serving on the board.
According to ABC Board As­sistant
Administrator Bobby Jett,
a board meeting scheduled Mon­day
was canceled, and the next
meeting will be the third week of
this month. He said it is "more
than likely" that the miniature
bottle conflict will be brought up
then.
Although three Auburn area
men connected with retail liquor
sales, two bar-restaurant owners
and a bargender said the small
bottles should be phased out, Jett
said mail received by the ABC
Board is running 80 percent in
favor of keeping the miniatures.
The mayor of Huntsville has
sent a telegram "encouraging the
governor to intervene in the
controversy" and keep the minia­tures,
Jett said.
Jett felt the 1.6 ounce shots
would stay, but said he couldn't
speak for the board.
"I believe a compromise could
come about by allowing hotels and
motels to pour out of large bottles
at conventions," he said.
If the decision to change to the
larger bottles is passed, it will
take from six to eight months to
phase out the miniatures, Jett
said.
Should the board ignore Wal­lace's
wishes, he continued, he has
several courses of action. He could
fire the board,or Wallace can wait
for the next legislative term and
introduce a bill to keep the small
liquor bottles. He can also over­ride
the legislature's decision.
From the correspondence re­ceived
by Jett's office, those
advocating the banning of large
bottles said the miniatures made it
easier for a propreitor to take
inventory. If the change-over
occurs, the majority said they
would lower the quantity of alcohol
in each drink-
With the small bottles, he said,
"The consumer is guaranteed to
get Jack Daniels and 1.6 ounces."

role in investigation of any viola­tion
of the honor code.
It was decided Philpott should
have the power to approve or
disapprove the committee's re­commendation.
Should Philpott
disapprove the recommendation,
the case would return to the
committee for further study.
The adoption of a traffic ap­peals
board was approved unani­mously
by the Senate. The board
will hear appeals by students who
have received traffic citations on
campus.
John Bush is now receiving
applications from students who
wish to serve on the traffic
appeals board.
Other action saw a resolution
urging the Physical Plant Divi­sion
(PPD), formerly B&G, to
repair "serious soil erosion" near
the southeastern corner of Mag­nolia
Dormitory.
The erosion, it was stated in
the resolution, makes walking to
the main center of campus "un­safe
and hazardous."
Rick Abbott, who introduced
the resolution, said PPD Director
Paul Kearney assured him the
erosion would soon be repaired. Saniflush
Long standing ice cream parlor freezed out by Health Department?
By Martha Tamblyn
Plainsman Staff Writer
The Sani-Freeze Dairy
Bar, a perennial favorite
with Auburn students
and townspeople, may
be forced to close its
doors if Lee County
Health Department stan­dards
are not m e t by
February.
Melvin Pede, manager
of Sani-Freeze, Berime's
Ice Cream Parlor and
Dipper Dan, said the
Sani-Freeze is presently
operating under a tem­porary
health license
granted by the City of
Auburn health inspector
at the end of August.
The license expires in.
February.
In February 1977, offi­cials
of the Lee County
Health Department told
former manager Bennie
Hunt that a thorough
cleaning of the Sani-
Freeze building would
satisfy current health
standards, Pede said.
In March, however,
when Pede and his wife
assumed management of
Sani-Freeze, Durham,
also of the Lee County
Health Department, ex­amined
the building and
revised the list of im­provements
to be made.
..y-VOU........
Pede said Durham's
revisions included put­ting
in a new floor or
stripping the existing
floor to expose the con­crete
foundation, build­ing
new walls and re­placing
the ceiling. Pede
said Durham offered no
explanation for the addi­tional
required improve­ments.
Pede planned to do the
remodeling between the
summer and fall quar­ters,
and Mrs. Pede said
that the owner of the
building, C.R. Meagher
Jr. of Atlanta, seemed
to agree with the
changes.
THE FLUSH IN 19S9
.was opened by Red Meagher, (seated) and family
In August, before any
renovations had been
started, Pede said he
was contacted again by
the Lee County Health
Department. Dillard, the
t health inspector, ex-
. amined the building and
cited the plumbing and
wiring in violation of
health standards. Pede
said that Dillard also
offered no explanation
for the discrepancies be­tween
formerly- and
newly-cited violations.
"Dillard said I had to
get an occupancy license
to meet the city code,"
said Pede, and Dillard
issued him the six-month
health permit to
continue operations until
the Sani-Freeze building
can be improved to sat­isfy
health require­ments.
There is a question,
however, about whether
or not the present build­ing
will receive the
Health Department's
approval. "It's all up In
the air," said Mrs.
Pede.
Pede said he is nego­tiating
about the future
of the building with the
local real estate agency
that handles the proper­ty
for Meagher. Accord­ing
to Pede, "the costs
of redoing the place and
building another are
about the same. The
decision lies with Meag­her."
Meagher said If
Health Department stan­dards
can be met, the
lease for the Sani-Freeze
will continue. "If stan­dards
can't be met for
the present building,
we'll see about a new
building for the same
business." No decision
has been made.
Former manager
Hunt, who has run the
business since 1962, said
he stayed on at the
Pedes' request to help
reassure customers that
the Sani-Freeze will not
change under the new
management.
"I don't know if it's
possible not to change,
but we want to do every­thing
exactly the same,"
said Mrs. Pede. "We're
doing the cooking the
same way because it's
special to students. It's
an Institution in Au­burn."
The Flush, as it is
affectionately called by
students, is indeed an
Auburn institution and
has been since its open­ing
as the Doll House In
1939.
C.R. "Red" Meagher
of Auburn began build­ing
the Doll House in the
summer of 1938. Meag­her
said he hired a man
for 15 cents an hour to
help him construct the
place, and together they
built the building that
stands today.
"I got a $1,500 loan
from Emil Wright at the
Bank of Auburn — Emil
and I used to go black­berry
picking together
- and I built the Doll
House next door to my
aunt's house. That was
during the Depression,
and nobody thought I
could do it on just
$1,500. But I did, and I
had a handful of pennies
left.
"I picked up flintrock
out at Prather's Lake
and made a floor for the
place, and we built ta­bles
and booths so you
could sit down in that
front part."
Although Meagher
managed the Doll House
for little more than a
year, he still remembers
the Auburn University
students, one in particu­lar,
who ate there.
"Shug Jordan owes
me a dime from when
he was here in college.
He came down here for
some cheese crackers
and a coca-cola one
time, and he still owes
me a dime for 'em."
In 1939 Meagher sold
hamburgers and milk­shakes
for 10 cents
apiece. After almost for­ty
years of rising food
prices, the Sani-Freeze
continues to offer low
prices to its patrons.
"You get more for your
money at Sani-Freeze,"
said one student.
Many students take
advantage of the Sani-
Freeze values at least
once a week during
study breaks at night. "I
go to get away from
studying. Usually I just
go there for the best
milkshakes in town.
Sometimes I get a chill-dog
or an upside-down
banana split," said one
student.
When asked to com­ment
about the reasons
he eats at the Sani-
Freeze, one student
said, "the atmosphere
draws me there. I like it
the way it is."

From page A-2
In Alabama, everyone must buy
alcohol from a state-owned store,
and licensed dealers must pay a
liquor tax, which goes toward
education, which in turn redwces
property taxes. In Auburn, the
license-bearer pays a 20 percent
tax on the liquor invoice monthlly,
and the license costs $1,000 a year.
There's also a "51-49" law, which
says an establishment's profits
must be 51 percent from food sales
and 49 percent from liquor in order
to retain the liquor license.
An owner of a restaurant and
bar on the Opelika Highway, Chris
Crocker, favors abolishing minia­tures
and said the state wants to
keep the little bottles since "we
are assuring the customer of a 1.6
ounce drink, and they know they
can get tax off every drink poured
in Alabama."
Crocker will decrease the alco­hol
content in his drinks if the
board votes to abolish the minia­tured,
and doesn't seem worried
about proprietors "watering
down" drinks, because he said, "If
you go into a reputable bar, you
will get the standard 1.4 ounce
drink.
"No person needs a 1.6 ounce
drink."
When the United States converts
to the metric system, that 1.6
ounce shot of liquor will become
1.7 ounces.
The price of liquor to his
customers will not decrease if the
large-bottle proposal carries, but
it will "stabilize prices for a lot
longer time," he said.
"We're not trying to rip the
students off" he said, noting that
students stealing glasses from his
establishment was one reason
prices wouldn't decrease.
"Students must be responsible if
they want prices to go down."
According to Crocker, the switch
would "save a lot of time all the
way around," since it would allow
customers to get drinks faster.
Small bottles cause storage prob­lems,
since he must buy a case at
a time from the State Store in
downtown Opelika.
Crocker felt the state could
make more money by phasing out
the miniature bottles, since people
in the area travel across the state
line to Georgia and buy their
liquor from a privately-owned
business.
While Crocker realized the ABC
Board was trying to look out for
consumer interests, he said the
state-owned agency eliminates
competition.
The management of a bar res­taurant
disco in downtown Au­burn,
which also advocates the
switch, said it would have "no
effect on the business, but it will
be better cost-wise" for the
consumer, and said prices "pos­sibly"
could go down.
Bigger bottles are "easier to
control," would cut down on theft
of the ministures by employees
and would be a welcome relief at
inventory time, since he "wouldn't
have to count all those little
bottles."
Unlike Crocker, most of his
profit comes from liquor sales.
Although he believes "in pri­vately
owned businesses," he felt
the ABC Board does have its
function, which is controlling
places and making "them stick to
the rules."
Richard Anderson, another ad­vocate
of the crusade to change to
large, free-pour bottles, is a
bartender at a hotel. restaurant.
bar disco complex on South
College Street. He said large
bottles would "give us a lot more
latitude in mixing."
He thought prices would go
down, and "overall, business
should be better."
However, small bottles are used
to protect the customer, since "he
will get the amount he's paying
for," Anderson said.

'Little' error
clarified
by Plainsman
In a front page story
last week, The Plains­man
reported that an
attorney general's ruling
against closed meetings
at Auburn University
came at the request of
The Plainsman.
Although this is true, it
is not technically correct.
Alabama state law dic­tates
that only state
agencies and elected offi­cials
may seek a written
attorney general's opi­nion.
The Plainsman con­tacted
State Sen. T.D.
Little during the summer
and asked the Auburn
senator to seek the rul­ing.
Little complied with
the paper's request and
sought the ruling.
The Plainsman is sorry
if the reporting of the
events leading up to the
ruling was misleading.
Any discrepancy was
i purely an oversight, and
not intentional.

Thursday, October 6, 1977 A-4
Health Center
The University Health Committee found a cancer growing in the Student
Health Center, one which has spread for years and which threatened to
completely smother the center when four doctors resigned this summer.
But the committee has proposed a remedy, the cure used most on
malignant cancer patients: complete removal of the affected area.
The committee has recommended that resignations be accepted from
Director Garth Jarvis and Director of Nurses Janice Pyle, in hopes that a clean
sweep and a fresh start will be best for all concerned.
The committee presented its proposals to President Harry M. Philpott more
than eight weeks ago. Philpott says he must consider all possibilities before
making a final decision.
We can understand Philpott's concern, but the Health Committee has
supposedly considered all possibilities already. Is Philpott now saying the
Health Committee has not done its job adequately?
Time is now of the essence. As the committee wrote in its opeining
paragraph, "...the delay has made this committee's task more difficult for all
concerned."
Every day Philpott delays in acting on the Health Committee's proposals,
opposing personnel at the Health Center become more and more polarized.
For the sake, and the health, of Auburn students, we must ask Philpott to
enact the proposals of the Health Committee immediately and in full.
Foy's tribute
Auburn University without Dean of Student Affairs Dr. James E. Foy is sort
of like "Wan" without "Egul": hard to imagine. But that's what will
happen March 31, 1978, when Foy steps down after a distinguished career
with Auburn University.
Through his service to Auburn, Foy has set a model for what we believe a
University official should be like: his first and major concern was the welfare
of the students. We benefitted from his presence, and appreciate it.
Recognizing Foy's 28 years of service to the University, especially to its
students, we would like to take this opportunity to thank him for the work
he's done as the students' best friend in the administration.
We realize that he'll still be here working for another six months, and he'll
remain in Auburn after his retirement. However, it's times like this that you
can reflect in gratitude and appreciation the work of a man who has served as
well as Dean Foy.
Auto-Ban
The SGA had a good idea last year with its Pedmall—a plan which
removed cars from the core of the campus.
The idea worked, and even those
initially opposed to it came to, if not
love it, tolerate the solitude the
pedestrian campus had to offer..
Also, the earless campus was safe.
Often students have their minds on
classes or weekend parties when
stepping across busy Thach Avenue.
Countless students have narrowly
escaped serious injury without Ped­mall
as autos screeched to a halt in
the nick of time.
We would like to see the SGA reinstitute the earless campus—an Autoban
of sorts.
Supreme Court
In an effort to bring the court system closer to the people, the Alabama
Supreme Court recently began holding sessions at various locations around
the state. Tomorrow, it will hold a session at Auburn.
Beginning at 9 a.m. in the Union Ballroom, students will have a chance
to see first-hand how the Supreme Court works. It's something that no
American Government class can explain fully. Only by experiencing the
judicial process can you really understand it.
It's not every day that Auburn students are given the opportunity to see
their government in action. We hope professors will let students attend the
sessions, and encourage every student to be there. It's a oncc-in-a-lifetime
chance to understand part of the institutions that govern our lives.
The Auburn
Plainsman
We should eliminate all forms of bias
Reverse discrimination has been
called "the civil rights issue of the
1970s." And the case of The
University of California at Davis vs.
Allan Bakke is considered the most
important question by far to come
before the Supreme Court this term.
Bakke applied for admission to the
UC-Davis medical school, but his
application was rejected. After
discovering that UC-Davis reserved
16 positions for "disadvantaged"
applicants, Bakke decided he had
been turned down because he was
white, and sued.
The California Supreme Court
apparently agrees with Bakke. By a
6-1 vote they decided in favor of him
and ordered UC-Davis to admit
Bakke and not reserve positions in its
medical school on the basis of race.
UC-Davis appealed the case to the
Supreme Court.
Bakke has a strong case. His
grade-point average was 3.5 on a
four-point scale, while other appli­cants
admitted ahead of him had
grade-point averages as low as 2.1.
This controversy has attracted the
nation's attention as the most
important test of reverse discrimina­tion's
constitutionality.
White Auburn students applying
for professional schools in the near
future may find themselves confront­ing
reverse discrimination as its
victims. Should they just shrug their
shoulders and accept it?
No. Any kind of discrimination is
wrong, whether it is based on race,
sex or any other arbitrary data. As
former Supreme Court Justice Wil­liam
Douglas said, "So far as race is
concerned, any state-sponsored pref­erence
to one race over another is
violative of the Equal Protective
Clause of the Fourteenth Amend­ment."
And this conservative opin­ion
comes from one of the more
liberal members of the Supreme
Court.
Minorities such as blacks, women
and Hispanics have suffered from
past discrimination; there is no
doubt about that. But how can you
justify excluding a young white male
John
Carvalh
from law school because earlier
generations practiced discrimination?
Deuteronomy 24:16 says, "The
fathers shall not be put to death for
the children; neither shall the
children be put to death for the
fathers; every man shall be responsi­ble
for his own sins." Written
thousands of years ago, the principle
holds true today.
Reverse discrimination occurs in
many different situations, too, not
just in admission to professional
schools. Consider the fireman and
(>rison guard in Berkeley or the
ibrarian in Los Angeles. All three
have sued because they were passed
up for promotion in favor of minority
group members who scored lower on
promotional exams. Some of those
who sued won; others lost—hence,
the importance of the upcoming
Supreme Court's decision:*
I can see the value of minority
ipoup members as doctors and
awyers, serving as encouraging role
models. But should we do that by
endorsing prejudice, the disease our
country is trying to eliminate?
It is sad that some minority group
members who have suffered from
discrimination are now defending it
because they are benefiting from it.
Nathaniel Jones, legal counsel for the
National Association for the Ad­vancement
of Colored People, said,
"If the Supreme Court agrees wtih
Bakke, we will have to start all over
again with segregation."
I don't agree. And Jones'
comment is indicative of the mistrust
which discrimination breeds, since he
apparently thinks businesses and
colleges are just looking for excuses to
discriminate. This is not true in every
case.
But mistrust, frustration, a feeling
of helplessness and rage all contribut­ed
to the race riots of the 1960s.
Detroit, Los Angeles, Philadelphia
and other major American cities
burned as a dissatisfied black
population exploded against injus­tice.
What effect would reverse discrim­ination
have on race relations? It
certainly can't help. Victims of
reverse discrimination would feel the
same frustrations and resentments if
they don't feel that way already.
There's no predicting what eventual­ly
could happen.
Racial quotas are reminiscent of
George Orwell's famous observation
in his book "Animal Farm": All
men are created equal, but some are
more equal than others.
True equality has always seemed to
be such a distant, yet desirous goal.
We should take steps to bring it a
little closer, instead of ignoring it as
naive idealism.

The Auburn Plainsman is the student-edited newspaper of
Auburn University. Signed columns represent the opinion of
the writer, while unsigned editorials represent the opinion
of The Plainsman's Editorial Board.
The South.
According to industrialists, corpo­rate
giants and businessmen nation­wide,
it's the place to be these
days, and for good reasons: clean
air, plenty of room, tax breaks, vast
mineral resources and perhaps most
important, the lack of organized
labor.
Alabama is even more lucrative
than other places because it is dnc
of only a handful of states with a
"right-to-work" law, a law which
must be desperately retained if the
tremendous rate of industrial
growth is to continue.
The right-to-work law or Section
14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act of
1947 is fairly simple. It states that
"'Nothing in this Act shall be
construed as ...requiring member­ship
in a labor organization in any
state or territory in which such
execution or application is prohi­bited
by state or territorial law."
The basic idea is that no person can
be denied employment because of
non-membership in a labor union.
The Alabama Legislature adopted
such a law in 1953. Few have
followed.
Now there is pressure from all
sides to repeal the right-to-work
statutes. Organized labor in Ala­bama
is growing more powerful
each year, especially among dock
workers in Mobile, factory workers
in Birmingham and even physical
plant employees here at Auburn
University. Politicians needing the
union vote to remain in office are
cautiously but clearly calling for the
law's repeal.
These union-oriented politicos
have a convincing argument. Over
100,000 coal miners have died on
the job in this country and, without
the United Mine Workers and their
crusade for mine safety standards,
thousands more might have died.
Dewey
English
But a close examination of the
position against right-to-work laws
shows it has little substance. The
rhetoric is always the same; talk of
oppression, corporate greed and
fulfillment of the American Dream.
However, there is a glaring omission
of talk about civil liberties.
If industrial America can be
accused of worshipping the almighty
dollar, so can the billion dollar
business of unionized America.
Scandals and corruption have
become commonplace in big labor.
Mafia domination of the largest
such organization, the Teamsters
Union, is a horrible reality. It is
time that organized labor reexa­mined
its commitments to its own
members instead of attempting to
deny Constitutional guarantees to
individuals who chose not to join
them.
Consider the case of Peggy Ann
King, a black employee at Ft.
Monroe near Norfolk, Va. She was
fired because she didn't want to
join a union. Given a choice of a
regular job or "termination," she
chose to stand up for her basic
rights. She refused to join and was
fired.
But King appealed to The Na­tional
Right-To-Work Legal Defense
Foundation which filed suit in her
behalf. Virginia has right-to-work
laws: however, Fort Monroe is a
federal installation and state law
does not apply there. The case will
surely come before the Supreme
Court.
Peggy Ann King and others like
her are fighting for what should be
a minor question with an obvious
answer. But organized labor has
chosen to make this a giant issue
and has spent millions of dollars
trying to win.
The end of right-to-work provi­sions
was supposed to be a part of
big labor's congressional triumph
for 1977. It has turned into a
disastrous defeat at every levels
Members of Congress are listening
to the electorate, and the electorate
has shouted a thunderous "No!" to
labor's "reform legislation."
Certainly there will always be a
place for unions in this country.
When given the choice, well over
90 percent of all employees decide
to join a union. The other 10
percent should not have to do the
same thing.
Has labor lost sight of its original
goals? It has been a century-long
light to end the firing of a union
worker. There is no reason for
unions to start a century-long fight
to begin the firing of a non-union
worker.
The impending death of individualism
A teenager's parents file suit
against a school system because their
son graduated form high school
unable to read. A women's confer­ence
makes federally-supported day
care one of its primary goals. At a
nameless university in East Alabama,
the big problems are high utilities
and crooked landlords. There's a lot
of talk about how "somebody should
do something.''
All the situations have one thing
in common. They reflect what seems
to be the New American Way: ' 'Let
somebody else solve the problems."
Sometimes I wonder whatever

self-sufficiency. In the first case, I
wonder why the aforementioned
parents didn't go to their son's
school and find out why he was
illiterate before they filed a suit. And
in the second, alternative means of
caring for children of working
mothers that would need no
government programs aren't men­tioned.
It's happening all over. Rather
than seeking constructive solutions to
problems, we are increasingly asking
the government or courts to do our
work for us. The obvious solution of
individual effort to solve individual
problems doesn't seem to occur to
many people any more.
Auburn hasn't escaped the trend.
Every day students complain about
geting ripped off by landlords or
businesses, not being able to get a
parking space, having poor health
care or any of a dozen problems.
That's all they do, though—com­plain.
It seems that Auburn students,
like many other Americans, except
someone else, the SGA, the city
council or their Senator, to solve their
problems. They seldom decide to get
involved. They'd rather do a lot of
talking.
There are many possible reasons
for the trend toward government and
judkial dependence. One is that
people are no longer content with
just solving a problem. They would
rather fix the blame, preferably on
someone else, and make a point at
the same time.
The main problem, though, is that
many people have become as
impersonal as the institutions and
organizations they have come to
depend on. It's just too easy to shift
responsibility for solutions to some­one
else; to avoid the personal
contact that individual solutions
require.
People are finding it perhaps less
an emotional strain to tell the
government to educate their children
or censor the media rather than
helping teach or turning off the
television.
The change in attitude is not just
an unpleasant trend. It's frightening,
because when we start asking the
government to take over responsibil­ities,
we are asking for trouble.
Big government has already crept
into most facets of everyday life. It
will continue to do so unless we
decide to stop depending on it.
It's time we stopped asking the
government or other groups to do for
us and started doing for ourselves.
We can't go on praising individual­ism
on one hand and asking
institutions to do everything for us
on the other.
Sooner or later, something's got to
give. And when Big Brother starts
watching, it will be because we asked
him to.
Letters Executive insiders violate public trust
Thmgjtoy, October 6, 1977 A-5
Life insurance not needed
by unmarried students'
ditor, The Plainsman:
Each year The Plainsman pub-shes
letters and-or articles citing
indents involving "misunderstand-
Egs" between students and local
e insurance salesmen. Not limited
a Auburn, such incidents occur
mong students of many universities
rhere certain life insurance compa­res
provide a well-prepared sales
arce to prey on the financially
igenious student.
Don't kid yourselves: the insur-nce
salesman who depends on a
ollegiate clientele is trained in
actics specific to convincing the
tudent of the latter's insurance
'needs." These tactics may be
escribed as perfidious.
Various consumer publications
_iave correctly reported that NO
JNMARRIED PERSON WITHOUT
DEPENDENTS NEEDS LIFE IN­SURANCE.
And any compulsion to
purchase such a policy while single
should be suppressed until one's
earnings become large enough to
make insurance payments painless.
Remember (in spite of what
you're told by an insurance sales­man)
a life insurance policy is a
poor way to save money. Higher
interest rates are available from
various forms of saving institutions.
Life insurance, purchased wisely,
can insure the financial security of
your dependents.
But owning a life insurance policy
while a single student is a potential
financial strain as well as a waste of
money.

The men who have served in the
inner councils of American presi­dents
form a special fraternity. They
may depart from Washington, but
they never quite leave the White
House. Their lives are forever
influenced by their interlude with
power and flavored by their remi­niscences.
In the midst of the recent Bert
Lance affair, it was Jody Powell who
circulated malicious stories and
plain "garbage" about Sen. Charles
Percy, R-Ill., one of Lance's chief
critics. There may have been times
over these past 200 years when a
president has had dark thoughts —
and perhaps questionable conversa­tions
— about how to counter his
opponents and to life himself and
his friends out of crises.
Recent bipartisan opinion among
the men around former chief
executives concerning the disgrace of
Richard Nixon was that the presi­dency
had never before experienced
such a sordid episode. Powell's
conduct, however, stings smartly of
another continuation in the viola­tion
of the public trust.
President Jimmy Carter hung
tenaciously to his defense of Bert
Lance. Earlier presidents have acted
quickly to end the roles of erring
aides and friends. Truman got rid
of Attorney General J. Howard
Guest
Columnist
Rick
Halperin
McGrath when he failed to clean up
the Department of Justice. Eisen­hower
ended the influence of
Sherman Adams. Lyndon Johnson
usually sought legal opinion to be
sure his domestic actions were all
right.
It was primarily with the emer­gence
of evidence concerning
Watergate that the public finally
witnessed the debasement of trust
and decency, and saw the triumph
of immorality, corruption, deceit
and the abuse of power. It was
almost inconceivable that a presi­dent
of the United States would
lead discussions in the Oval Office
about breaking the law, destroying
his own men and corrupting the
Government's agencies.
There was supposed to have been
a restoration of morality with the
victory of Jimmy Carter. In some
fields, this has been true. Unfortu­nately,
they all seem to concern
foreign affairs and the internal
human rights of peoples far beyond
the aid of the United States.
The time has come for a
President to implement the call for
morality among his own advisors. In
the White House last week they
were most worried that Jody Po­well's
cheap antics would upset
many Americans who thought Car­ter
was above such action.
That concern is really almost
meaningless in the current context.
What produces despair is that men
giving so much for this nation
would spend so much time and
energy contemplating the violation
of that public trust.

Auburn football means plenty of hassles'
ditor, The Plainsman:
Auburn University football means
lending an afternoon waiting in
ne for the football tickets you
rdered spring quarter. Why
ouldn't these tickets have been
nailed along with the schedules
nd other registration forms?
Auburn University football means
/aiting in line for an additional
lour for your I.D. card to be
-tamped to get into the Ole Miss
ame. Why this additional, yet not
urprising bit of red tape?
Auburn University football means
inally getting to your seat and
inding it occupied by a fraternity
nember's date. If you are lucky
enough to get your seat back, don't
think you are now free to relax and
enjoy the game. Your frustration
has just begun.
Those "gentlemen" who proudly
claim themselves to be the finest
examples of Auburn's male popu­lace
will dedicate the rest of the
afternoon to making fools of them­selves,
each other and their dates.
You'll miss a good portion of the
game while they stand, turning the
aisles into their own personal
cocktail lounges. Meanwhile, your
date will be subjected to language
that would make a sailor blush.
One member of the Kappa Sigma
fraternity felt himself quite justified
in cursing out a soft drink vendor
and resorting to such racially discri­minatory
remarks as "yard ape."
Why? Because the vendor didn't
have change for a five-dollar bill.
The Kappa Sigs showed their
disrespect not only for the people
around them but for this school's
alma .mater and the American flag
as well.
Luckily, the excellent playing on
the football field kept the cameras
off the stands. I would have hated
for members of the Kappa Sigma
fraternity to be shown on national
television or anywhere as representa­tives
of Auburn University.

Though the structure was built
more than 60 years ago and times
have definitely changed, I believe
the United States should hold on to
one of its last strongholds. I am not
a traditionalist in the respect that
"we should preserve the past at any
cost." I worry that we are becoming
a nation so involved in the issue of
human rights, that we are sacrific­ing
these rights instead of contribu­ting
to them.
The United States will be making
the same mistake with the Canal
Zone treaty that was made in Far
Eastern countries. Five years ago
more than 5,000 U.S. servicemen
held base in the country of Taiwan,
neighbor to Red China. When
troop withdrawal occurred, the
country's economy suffeted a great
loss, but more importantly, we lost
a tremendously effective anti-Com­munist
post in that part of the
world.
Now Congress proposes the same
action in South Korea. While U.S.
intelligence agents in Seoul oppose
this abandonment, the U.S. sees
the opportunity to aid "human
rights" for South Koreans, or a
"way to peace." And, undoubt­edly,
it will mean less funding by
the American public.
Realistically, the people of these
Far Eastern countries look to the
United States with admiration be­cause
of one element in our society
which we take for granted...free­dom.
Though I risk sounding a bit
trite, we don't seem to appreciate
this gift as much as other nations
who have never completely pos­sessed
it and yearn for it.
Imagine what would happen if
Great Britain decided to give up its
session on mainland China. Al­though
Communist infiltration ex­ists,
Hong Kong is still observed as
a "free colony."
Shifting to the other side of the
world, the same idea is relevant.
Panamanians and Americans pro­tested
the signatures on that treaty.
What a blow to a country who still
needs our aid. But, what is more
important, we still need their aid.
It's not a question of U.S. control
in a foreign country. I view the
circumstances as a continuing part­nership.
Central and South Ameri­can
countries are readily being
invaded by Communist influences.
We say, "We can work with
Panamians in the Canal Zone."
Weli, what are we doing now?
Okay, let's stand alone; not
involve ourselves with any political
problems except our own-and watch
the world strength we have long
held deteriorate. Emotionally, I
could care less... Strategically, I see
the United States as an important
element in the continuing partner­ship
with Panama and the "insigni­ficant"
world passageway we call
the canal. Stephanie Wolfe

'...Don H turn control over to a dictatorship government'
Editor, The Plainsman:
For the past two years I have
suffered through reading in The
Plainsman some of the most ig­norant
and biased editorials ever
written, and I have remained silent.
This last one, "U.S. Doesn't
Need the Panama Canal," written
by Lisa Harris, proved to be too
much.
Harris's reasons for her view were
unfounded and the facts she pre­sented
were nothing more than
false. It is just as informed Panama
chronicler David McCullough re­cently
stated: "People for change
in Panama are generally less in­formed
than those against it." This
statement obviously applies to Har­ris.
Her attitude of "times have
changed" prevents her from re­membering
just what was involved
in our effort.
Just as the U.S. government
forgot the thousands of fives lost in
Vietnam when giving it up, should
we forget the 500 Americans who
died for every mile in building the
canal? Along with these men, the
money and equipment used
amounted to some $640 million,
equivalent of about $6 billion in
1977.
Should this be forgotten because
"times have changed?" Indeed not!
Our government already gives
countless billions to countries the
world over and it's time it stopped.
Harris seems to believe that the
canal is of no real use any more.
Nothing could be further from the
truth. Transits are increasing stead­ily
and by the year 2000 are
expected to rise more than 50
percent over the 12,000 ships now
served each year.
Aircraft carriers are the only ships
which can't fit through the locks,
but our destroyers and 70 percent
of the strategic material used in
Vietnam went through. More im­portantly,
so does our Alaskan oil.
The U.S. uses and needs the
Panama Canal and should in no
way relinquish control over it to a
dictatorship government who has
already reportedly had numerous
meetings with the Soviets. Since
when should we be partners with a
government such as Panama's?
Times do change but for every good
decision our government makes
there is at least one bad one. Let's
hope and pray our leaders make the
only right one in dealing with the
Canal.
We do need the Canal, but we
don't need the attitude of people
like Lisa Harris who are uninformed
and want change just for the reason
that "times change." Irrational
decisions such as those which Harris
advocates will prove to be the
downfall of our nation.

'High-volume fraternity parties
keep area neighbors awake5
Editor, The Plainsman:
Another quarter begins at Au­burn.
With the beginning of the
new quarter, the fraternities have
started their rush parties and other
festivities.
Unfortunately, the fraternities on
North College Street don't restrict
their partying to themselves and
their guests. They insist upon
making their presence felt by the
entire city, amplifying their party
music so loud it can be heard two
miles away.
This noise makes it impossible for
non-fraternity neighbors to study,
work or get some sleep for those
who have to work early Sunday
morning.
A polite request to lower the
volume of their music should be
sufficient for the residents of
Auburn to retain their regard for
their fraternity neighbors. I would
appreciate other opinions on this
problem.

Cow college? Let's get ready
for a rousing 'War Bovine!5
Editor, The Plainsman:
In response to your photograph
of "Cow College" in last weekjs
Plainsman, we suggest Auburn's
battle cry be changed to "War
Bovine!" Our hearts would be filled
with pride singing "War Bovine,
trot down the field..." Imagine

proclaiming "Stampede State!"
"Gore Georgia!" or "Mirk Ole
Miss!"

Homecoming Queen
Contest, sponsored by
Agree creme rinse and

to the Orange

The music, tne mo­tions,
the crowd and the
paint — all rolled into
one, they compose the
entertainment and artis­try
provided by impres­sionist
artist Ron Ed­wards,
who visited Au­burn's
campus this week.
Edwards, who was
brought to campus by the
UPC, was the center of
attention in War Eagle
Cafeteria as students
gathered to watch him
create his "Ron Art" to
the sound of a wide
variety of music. As an
impressionist artist, he
exhibits a style unlike
most artists, using a
large work-type paint
brush and a pallet knife
to produce colorful
scenes, all of which
contain three birds.
Edwards said he likes
his style because "it is so
free, so simple, like
painting a house or a
board." Edwards ex­plained
the three birds as
representing the "trinity
of life."
Edward's work itself is
not the only attraction,
however. His bright
paint-speckled coveralls
and floor cover and
growing mounds of diff­erent
colored paintbrush
drippings decorate his
stand in an eye-catching
fashion. It brings the
atention of passers-by to
the tall man dipping his
brush into large buckets
of paint and stroking it
on canvas in time with
the taped music he plays
on his four-speakered
stereo system. Each
movement seems a dra­matic
gesture until two

minutes pass and the
completed painting is
shown to the awed spec­tators.
When displaying his
finished product, Ed­wards
holds the canvas
up and slowly turns to all
who watch in a conti­nuous
and almost robot­like
fashion, nodding in
time with the music.
Music is important to
Edwards' style. He says
that as he begins to
understand and feel the
music, it realizes itself in
his painting. The compo­sition
of his work
changes with the music.
"Very busy music pro­duces
very busy compo­sition,"
he explained.
Edwards noted that
songs like Neil Dia­mond's
' 'Jonathan''
create colore for him.
A house painter by
trade, Edwards dev­eloped
his "Ron Art"
about four years ago.
One day he signed up for
an art show to be held on
the Boardwalk in Atlan­tic
City, New Jersey. The
only problem was that he
had nothing to exhibit.
At 2 a.m. on the day of
the show, Edwards be­gan
experimenting in his
room. He took the paint
brush he used at work
and suddenly "Ron Art"
was born.
Edwards remembers
that he had music play­ing
at the time. He said
his painting did not have
a shape as it does now,
but he sold his first one
on the Boardwalk for
$7.60 anyway.
Edwards stopped using
music while he painted
for about a year and a
half. Instead he picked
up on the "vibes" of the
people watching him,
and he listened to their
comments. Eventually
he returned to the music.
When asked his age,
Edwards simply replies,
"I'm ageless."
Book thieves face punishment
from reprimands to expulsion
By Connie Scott
Plainsman Staff Writer
Book thieves beware.
You may not get off as
lightly as you think if
caught stealing text­books,
according to T.
Drew Ragan, associate
dean of student affairs.
"Penalties for students
convicted of book theft
may range from a writen
reprimand for a first
offense to temporary sus­pension
or expulsion for
a repeated offender,"
said Ragan.
"A student could be
charged with petty lar­ceny,"
said Mona Over-street,
campus security
officer in charge of pub­lic
relations and crime
prevention. "It could go
to grand larceny if the
cost of the books stolen
totaled more than $26.
"When a student rea­lizes
his book has been
stolen and reports It to
us, he fills out a theft
report and a copy of it is
sent to the Disciplinary
Committee. This com­mittee
is a university
board composed of three
faculty members and
three students. The com­mittee
then decides what
further action to take."
According to Ragan,
chairman of the Discipli­nary
Committee. This
committee is a university
board composed of three
faculty members and
three students. The com­mittee
then decides what
further action to take."
According to Ragan,
chairman of the Discipli­nary
Committee, a stu­dent
accused of book
theft is charged with a
University violation of
the code of student disci­pline,
printed in the
student handbook, Tiger
Cub.
"This charge is diffe­rent
from a civil of­fense,"
said Ragan, "but
the action that takes
place next is similar to
court proceedings. The
student is allowed to
have a lawyer present if
he wishes.
"All the meetings with
the committee are consi­dered
private and confi­dential.
The public never
knows the outcome un­less
the student tells
somebody."

Construction of Auburn's buildings
long process, says campus planner
By BUI Gibson
Plainsman Staff Writer
There's more to build­ing
a building than bricks
and concrete. Before con­struction
can even begin,
there is a long procedure
involving funding, archi­tectural
plans and con­struction
bids.
The first step involved
is an expression of ac­ademic
needs for a new
faclity by some school
within the University,
said William H. Guerin,
University planner and
architect.
Next, said Guerin, a
"rough estimate" of the
school's needs is made,
and the administration
takes the request for a
new facility to the Board
of Trustees for approval.
The request made in­cludes
a future request to
the state legislature for
funding of the facility,
said Guerin.
Once the funds have
been made available to

the University, the school
involved, the Universtiy
architect and a building
comittee named by Pres­ident
Harry M. Philpott
work together to make
basic decisions about the
facility, said Guerin.
Next, an architectural
firm is hired, and plans
and specification for the
builidng are made, said
Guerin.
These plans and speci­fications
must then be
approved by seven dif­ferent
University of­ficials
or committees,
said Guerin. Among
them are Philpott, the
University architect and
the Project Building
Committee.
In addition, the plans
must be approved by
three different state of­fices
and by the appro­priate
Federal agency if
Federal monies are in­volved,
said Guerin.
Once all approvals
have been obtained, the
University is required by
state law to advertise for
competitive bids in the
local paper, said Guerin.
The ad must appear once
a week for three con­secutive
weeks.
The ad for bids "de­scribes
the nature of the
project, when, where and
by whom the bids are to
be received," said Guer­in.
Gurein also said it is
"customary, but not a
requirement, for the Uni­versity
to notify those
general contractors who
customarily bid on our
work of any projects
about to be bid, and there
are other building trade
reports circulated among
builders that alert them
to upcoming projects."
Contractors are usual­ly
given from three to
four weeks to prepare
their bids, said Guerin,
and all contractors who
bid must be licensed by
the state.
Guerin said at the
scheduled time and
place, the bids are
opened by the director of
purchasing on behalf of
the president and the
Board of Trustees, and
read aloud.
After the bids have
been received, the con­tractors
are advised by
the University that their
bids will be taken under
consideration, said Guer­in.
Guerin said next, the
"Campus Planning Com­mittee
reviews and eval­uates
the bids, and in
consideration of the low
bid and the budget,
makes a recommendaton
to the president whether
to award a construction
contract."
Once the decision is
made to award a con­tract,
the contractor is
given a "notice to pro­ceed"
said Guerin, and
has 10 days to make
preparations "before
there must be evidence
on the site that he has
commenced work."

Oswalt says his posi­tion
on the matter of

Baxley also said Beas-ley

Senate.He acknowledged
that Gov. George Wall­ace

Baxley said Alabama's
1901 constitution is so

Baxley said he "very

"necessary evil in an evil

Baxley said he sup­ports
the Equal Rights

didn't stand "a ghost of a

Auburn's coveted Alger­non

honor from the American
Red Cross for donating a
total of six gallons of
blood in Auburn's annual
blood drives.
Foy also has other
plans for retirement. His
list includes "visiting the
sick, teaching Sunday
school, backpacking, now
skiing, sailing, cruising
around the world, play­ing
golf and tennis and
gardening."
He also plans to write a
book about Auburn since
1950. "Maybe I have
some insights that other
people don't have," he
said. "For example, I
was one of three people
in charge of handling
Auburn's integration in
1963."
Writing a book on the
dynamics of student per­sonnel
is also part of
Foy's plans, though he
admits this novel will
probably reach a more
limited readership.
"I also plan to fully
participate in all the e-vents
here," he said,
adding he plans to attend
more concerts, lectures,
Auburn theatre plays and
athletic events.
"However, I don't plan
to meddle," he quickly
added. "I hope when I
walk out of the door that
I have enough sense to
say 'That is all.' That's
something a man ought
to do."
He had praise for the
Auburn students he has
worked with through
three decades. "I've en­joyed
the friendliness
and the affection of -
Auburn University," he
said. "Auburn is a unique
place. We have a lot of
things other colleges
don't have, thanks to our
tradition and heritage.
"We've got to keep the
best form the past and
work to improve it. Au­burn's

Lee hospital

Lee County Hospital
will be changing its
phone number on Mon.,
Oct. 10 at 8 a.m. The
new number will be
749-3411.
According to Mr. H.T.
Turner, hospital presi­dent,
the change is
being made in order to
establish more lines so
incoming calls will not
be met with frequent
busy signals.
Turner stated, "We
feel this change will
offer the citizens of our
hospital service area
more effective and fast­er

Wolf pack
N.C. State invades Jordan-Hare Saturday 1 "M
By Chuck Anschutz
Assistant Sports Editor
North Carolina State Head Foot­ball
Coach Bo Rein said before the
season the Wolfpack certainly left
themselves a lot of room for
improvement following a dismal
3-7-1 season in 1976.
And so far, they have indeed
improved. N.C. State has won four
games in a row, including a 24-20
upset win over nationally-ranked
Maryland last weekend. The Wolf-pack
now stands 4-1, with the only
loss a 28-23 setback at the hands of
East Carolina the first game of the
season.
Auburn Head Coach Doug Bar-field
is concerned with the Wolf-pack's
"explosive" offense, which
averages 438 yards a game and
includes three running backs
averaging more than 5.5 yards a
carry.
"They do everything well,"
Barfield said. "They're excellent
in the skill positions, and they can
score from anywhere on the field."
The key man in the offense is
quarterback Johnny Evans, a
senior. Evans totalled 1,459 yards
in tandem offense last year and is
best known as a runner. And don't
look for Evans to run off the field
on fourth and long. He is also
considered one of the better punter
in the country.
The key man in the offense is
quarterback Johnny Evans, a
senior. Evans totalled 1,459 yards
in tandem offense last year and is
best known as a runner. And don't
look for Evans to run off the field
on fourth and long. He is also
considered one of the better
punters in the country.
Evans directs a backfield that
would be the most explosive the
Tigers will see this year. Ted
Brown is in his third year as a
starter, and he already has rolled
up over 2,000 yards on the ground.
He has a rushing average of 5.9
per carry and, to add to these
stats, he has scored 24 touchdowns
in his career as a member of the
Wolfpack.
Brown is definitely the man to
stop if the Tigers are to keep the
game under control.
' 'Another man to watch out for is
(split end) Elijah Marshall," said
Barfield. "He has been hurting
teams on deep patterns all year.
We'll have to be able to stop him
on long yardage plays."
When Rein talks about who he
worries about on Auburn's team,
the first name out of his mouth is
Freddie Smith.
"I don't think I've seen a better
linebacker than Freddie," he said.
"I'm extremely impressed with
the way he goes after folks.
Usually a team and its fans center
around a quarterback or running
back, but not Auburn."
But Rein doesn't overlook the
rest of the Auburn defense.
"I think Auburn has two of the
best safetys around in Rick
Freeman and James McKinney.
They both do a great job in making
the defense one of the best in the
SEC against both the run and the
pass."
Offensively Rein worries about
running backs Brooks (freshman),
Joe Cribbs (sophomore) and Wil­liam
Andrews (sophomore).
"They've got fine speed in their
running backs, and their quarter­back
(John Crane) throws the ball
pretty well."
Unfortunately for Tiger fans,
three of Rein's biggest worries
may not be ready to play this
Saturday. Barfield has called the
condition of Brooks, Freeman and
Cribbs questionable.
All three suffered bumps and
bruises from last week's Ole Miss
game and have missed several
days' practice.
Rein is only in his second year
as State's head coach and he is
desperately out to prove that last
year's record wasn't his best
effort.
Rein's defense has been good but
not great.There are eight regulars
returned from last year and they'll
show Auburn a lot of different
fronts and rely mainly on quick­ness.
Ralph Stringer, out all last
season with an injury, is the key to
the State secondary. Stringer was
All-ACC two years ago. Joining
Stringer is defensive back Richard
Carer. Carter is a senior and gives
the secondary an air of exper­ience.
Some say the game of football is
won in the trenches and defensive­ly
for State is a huge tackier,
Bubba Green. Green is 6-foot-5,
weighs 272 pounds, and is con­sidered
one of the best rushers in
the ACC.
Another big tackle, Simon Gup-ton
(6-foot-2, 244 pounds) on the
other side of the line, and
aggressive noseguard A.W. Jen­kins
adds extra quickness to the
defensive line.
The linebackers and defensive
ends are the less experienced
positions on the squad, so Auburn
might be out to test them.
Senior kicker Jay Sherrill got 41
points last year proving that the
Wolfpack isn't weak in that area of
the game.
Both coaches are expecting a
good game Saturday.
"The game is real important to
us," said Barfield. "We feel we
can gain a lot of respect if we can
win this game. But it's going to be
tough. They'll be wanting to win
this one badly too. They're real
cocky up there."
"Auburn is very young and
hungry for wins," said Rein. "And
the Auburn fans really support
their team. It's going to be a good
game."
"One thing we'll get a good look
at is the option," said Barfield.
"They run it very well and will
give it to us often. Evans is the
best triple-threat quarterback
we'll see in Auburn this year."
Rein said that he's a little wary
about the heat down in Alabama,
but pointed out that he'll be ready
no matter what the weather.
"One thing is fur sure," Rein
said. "Both teams will be hungry
for a win."
Defense celebrates Photography: Ford Risley
It's not often you find Auburn's defense celebrating
in the end zone, since they don't get many
opportunities to score. But when Freddie Smith (31)
ran an interception 45 yards for a touchdown, the
defenders had their moment, and took advantage of
it.
Auburn fans mourn the demise of Aubie
By Brad Davis
Sports Editor
Noticed anything different about
this year's edition of Auburn
Football Ilustrated, Auburn's of­ficial
game program?
You only get 10 seconds, now.
You're right—the "Aubie Tiger"
cartoons no longer adorn the cover
of each program.
Back in 1959, Auburn's sports
publicity director Bill Beckwith,
who is now the athletic business
manager, approached Birming­ham
artist Phil Neel with the idea
of a unique cartoon for program
covers. Neel agreed to take on the
task and came up with "Aubie."
The first cartoon appeared on
the program for the- Hardin-Sim-mons
game in Cliff Hare Stadium
Oct. 3,1959. It featured an Auburn
Tiger pouncing on a cowboy, the
nickname for Hardin-Simmons.
Over the next 18 years, Auburn's
game programs were unique—un­like
any other college programs in
the country. But apparently, all
that's changed. Aubie no longer is
on the front cover of Auburn
Football Illustrated. An Auburn
tradition has disappeared.
"I guess it has happened over
the last several years," Neel said
from his Birmingham Post-Herald
office, where he works as that
paper's staff artist. "With Coach
Jordan's last year coming up, they
wanted to do a couple of special
covers with a picture of him,
which was fine with me.
"But then it got to where they
just wanted me to do just one here
and there. But I felt that for the
cartoon to be effective, it needed
to be a regular thing. When they
called me this year, they just
asked me to do one or two covers,
but I turned them down. I would
rather it be a regular feature."
Last year, Aubie was on two
program covers—the Florida State
and Georgia Tech games.
"Evidently, they have just de­cided
to get away from the
cartoon-type covers and go with
the pictures," Neel said. "But I'll
AUBURN,
Football Illustrated'
•T^r^^^Sf
admit I miss doing them. I
certainly wouldn't mind doing
them again, as long as I could do
them all year, and not as a
once-a-year thing."
Neel, father of two sons who
played football for Auburn, Mike
and Rick, said he had his
favorites, just like all the people
who saw them.
"Probably my two favorites
were the 'Cousin Clem' covers
when we played Clemson, and the
1969 Alabama cover, which fea­tured
Aubie blasting the 'High
Tide,'" Neel said.
One of the favorites of many
Auburn fans is the 1973 Alabama
cover, which showed Aubie with a
birthday cake with the inscription
17-16 on it. It was the first
"birthday" of Auburn's fabled
AUBURN
Football Illustrated
Mb.,' m h
THE LAST OF AUBIE?
"Punt-Bama-Punt" victory over
the Red Elephants in 1972.
Over the years, Aubie de-sting-ered
many a Georgia Tech Yellow
Jacket, squeezed many a Big
Orange from Tennessee and put
many a Bulldog (Georgia or
Mississippi State) in its doghouse.
It's hard to believe Aubie's gone.
And to make it worse, he's been
replaced by some ho-hum pictures
on the front cover.
Aubie's almost as much Auburn
as Shug Jordan. A long-time
University of Kentucky fan told
me this summer the main thing he
remembers about his visits to the
Plains for the Auburn-Kentucky
games is the program cover. He
couldn't remember the coach's
name or any of the Auburn
players, but he remembered
Aubie.
It would be nice if Aubie were
brought back by popular demand.
If enough fans let the athletic
department know they want Aubie
back, chances are he'll probably
be back in his place next year.
One thing's for sure. Aubie will
make at least one more ap­pearance
on the Auburn campus.
Neel has agreed to do a full-color
Aubie cartoon of the front sports
page in the Homecoming edition
of The Plainsman Nov. 3.
Every Auburn Football Illus­trated
cover this year will serve as
a reminder of what should be in its
place.
Aubie the Tiger. Born Oct. 3,
1959. Died Oct. 23, 1976.
Don't let that happen.
Injured Tigers look forward to next season
By Chuck Anschutz
Asst. Sports Editor
Any coach or fan, especially in
football, will admit injuries are
part of the game. But for three
Auburn linemen, that part of the
game is hard to shrug off lightly.
Two weeks before Auburn was to
open its season against Arizona,
sophomore guard George Stephen­son,
from Hartselle, Ala., was hit
on his left knee during a scrim­mage.
The result was a torn''
cartilage and torn ligaments;
Stephenson's season was over.
On the last day of practice in
pads before the Arizona game,
sophomore tackle Jim Skuthan,
from Leesburg, Fla., was hit from
the side. The ligaments in his left
knee were torn, so he was lost for
the season.
Finally, in the Arizona game,
early in the second quarter, junior
noseguard Harris Rabren, of
Andalusia, Ala., was double-teamed
by the center and a guard.
He limped off the field and soon
learned that torn ligaments had
ended his 1977 season.
All three men were starting for
the first time at Auburn and their
coaches expected them to be key
players in the Tiger's hopes for an
improved season. But a year of
hard work and some luck now
stands between them and their
starting jobs.
RABREN (L), STEPHENSON AND SKUTHAN (R) RELAX
Photography: Font Malay
"It's very hard to be on the
sidelines and watch my team­mates
play," said Stephenson. "I
really miss playing. I still get
butterflies before the games."
"It really is hard to watch them
in a game," said Rabren. "Espe­cially
when they win. It makes me
want to be a part of it again."
Watching lots of TV may be a
forced hobby of the three, but
griping over why this happened to
them is not.
All three expected the worst
immediately after they were
hit. They had teammates who had
the same thing happen.
But as Skuthan said, "If it
happens, it happens. There's no
use crying over spilt milk."
"Knees aren't made for foot­ball,"
said Rabren. "So when I got
hit, I realized it probably meant
the year. I was hoping that I
wouldn't need an operation, and I
still find it hard to believe that I'm
hurt."
"We don't really worry about
being able to play again," said
Skuthan. ' 'A lot of guys have been
in worse shape than us, and
they're playing today."
Lynn Johnson is one example
Skuthan pointed out. Johnson, a
big starting guard for the Tigers,
had a severe and complicated
knee operation, but has recovered
almost fully.
"Another reason for our opti­mism,"
said Stephenson, "is our
doctor, Dr. Jack Hughston. He is
well known and respected all over
the country as one of the best
orthopedic surgeons."
"I have complete confidence in
Dr. Hughston," said Skuthan.
"Dr. Hughston handles most of
the cases like ours from the
football team," Rabren said. "And
as far as I can tell, he's the best."
While knee injuries are probably
the most common career damag­ing
injury in football, according to
the three cast-bound Tigers, it's
not overly painful.
"It's like a twisted ankle at first,
and right after the operation it
hurts, but now I can't feel any pain
at all," said Stephenson.
"When I first injured mine,"
said Skuthan, "it didn't really hurt
that much. I tore ligaments that
helped movement of my knee, so
when it happened, I just couldn't
move my lower leg."
All three said they feel they
could play right now.
"Of course, we realize we're not
ready to work out yet," said
Skuthan. "But it feels as though
the only thing that's wrong with
me is the cast on my leg."
The cast obviously presents
some problems to the three.
"Taking showers is always
tough," Stephenson said.
"And trying to get from class to
class is real tough," said Rabren.
"Crutches are our only means of
transportation, and by the time I
get to class, I'm sweating pretty
badly," Rabren said. "And I know
how bad it is to be sitting next to
someone who's all sweaty."
All the little irritations that go
with casts make the recovery time
pass slowly. All three will be out of
their casts within three weeks, but
that's where the real comebacks
begin.
"I honestly think that when I
come back next year, I'll be a
better player because of this
setback," said Stephenson. "I've
matured a lot having to sit out this
year."
"You don't realize how much
you enjoy practices and working
out with the team until something
.like thi» happen»," aald Skut
The injured Tigers desperately
want to get back into action, and
the coaches are pulling for them.
But they're going to have to be
patient.
The Tigers have been lucky so
far in filling in the spots left by
Stephenson, Rabren and Skuthan.
Donnie Givens has been more than
adequate at nosequard replacing
Rabren, and several linemen are
doing a better than expected job in
holding down the offensive line.
"That doesn't bother us a bit,"
said Skuthan. "We're all rooting
for them, and we're proud when
they do well."
Rabren, Skuthan and Stephen­son
pointed out that working back
into shape is a slow process and
that even when spring practice
rolls around, they will be behind.
"We'll be put back to second or
third string in the spring, and will
have to prove that we deserve to
be back on top," said Skuthan.
"And that's the way it should
be," said Rabren.
All three will be red-shirted this
year, so they'll get their lost
season back. But until then, they'll
have to put up with kidding from
fellow students while they're on
crutches and long hours in the
weight room trying to build back
their leg strength.
If anything good can come out of
this situation, it has to be three
stronger characters. Rabren, Ste­phenson
and Skuthan are still in
good spirits, and they feel their
mishaps have been good for them.
"One important thing I think
we've all learned from this is
appreciation for the good health
we normally have," said Stephen­son.
"In a while we'll be able to
play football again, but there are a
lot of people who will be on
rest of their 1

Defense shines
Jayvees drop opener
By Chuck Anschutz
Assistant Sports Editor
A fluke play on a Florida field
goal attempt gave the Auburn
junior varsity football team a
2-0 loss in its first game of the
season on Monday.
The Tigers blocked the field
goal attempt with five seconds
left in the first half only to have
the ball bounce off several
Auburn players and into the
hands of the Tigers' safety,
Billy Triplet.
Triplett was tackled in the
endzone after trying to run the
ball out.
"Those kind of things just
shouldn't happen," said Head
JV Coach Jim Hilyer about the
safety. "It was just bad coach­ing
on my part."
Hilyer also had some bad
things to say about Auburn's
offense. The Tigers rushed for
only seven yards the entire
game on 37 carries, while four
JV quarterbacks completed
only four of 17 passes for 61
yards and two interceptions.
"The offense was totally
inept," Hilyer said. "We just
had a poor performance out of
them."
Hilyer did have some good
things to say about the squad
though.
"In my opinion," he said,
"the defense couldn't have
played better. We held them
when we needed to."
Auburn Co-Captain Dennis
Rogers, a linebacker, was the
game's defensive standout with
10 solo tackles and two assists.
Rogers and the Tigers rose to
the occasion several times when
Florida threatened to score, but
the defense still gave up 237
yards (171 rushing and 66 in the
air).
Florida quarterback James
McClellan was the leading
rusher in the game with 75
yards in 23 carries. Florida
fullback Bo Smith was second
with eight carries for 40 yeard
and Auburn's fullback, Ed
Dubose, was third with 34
yeards in nine carries.
McClellan also was the
game's leading passer, com­pleting
three of five passes for
all of Florida's 66 yards in the
air.
"I think we've got a good
team," Hilyer said. "We're
playing a lot of walk-ons and
have been playing the varsity in
most of our practices. That
made getting ready for the
game a little hard."
The Florida contest was the
only game Auburn's Jayvees
will play in Jordan-Hare this
year. The Tigers will play
Georgia on Oct. 17 in Athens
and Georgia Tech on Nov. 7 in
Atlanta.
Auburn squares off with
Alabama for a charity game in
Birmingham on Nov. 19.
"As far as our next opponents
are concerned," said Hilyer,
"there's little that we know
about them. JV teams are hard
to scout because there is pretty
much a new team every year.
"Florida was a good team
and I thought our defense did a
tremendous job in stopping
them."
Besides the defense there was
other good news from the game.
No serious injuries resulted
from the game for the Tigers
despite the rough play.

Smith, a sophomore,
also made five individual
tackles and assisted on
eight others. Rhodes, a
junior, was the Tigers*
leading tackier with nine
individuals and six
assists.
Barfield was less im­pressed
with the offense.
"I'm really surprised
we were able to win with
the mistakes we made
offensively," he said.
"We're going to empha­size
improvement this
week in that area."
Fumbles were a notice­able
low point of the
Auburn offense. The
Tigers lost three of them
in the second half and any
of them could have
spelled a loss for Auburn.
"Fumbles are just one of
those things that can't be
worked out with drills,"
Barfield said. "You have
to improve that aspect of
the game with positive
coaching. You have to
instill a little confidence
in the ball carrier.
One possible reason we
had those fumbles is that
our running backs were
playing hurt. I admire
them for going back in,
but the fumbles could
have really hurt us,"
Barfield said.

rough," Barfield contin­ued.
"We suffered quite a
bit as far as bruises go.
Brooks, Freeman and
Cribbs all missed valu­able
practice time this
week because of minor
injuries."
Mississippi's offense
was as balanced as the
Tigers have seen this
year, and they saw two
good quarterbacks in
Ellis and Bobby Garner.
"Their option plays
hurt us also," said
Barfield.
To prove Barfield's
point, Ole Miss rushed for
126 yards and Ellis and
Garner picked up 65 of
those yards, mostly on
options.
"We played two good
football teams these last
two weeks," said Bar-field.
"And they were
two very tough games.
We have to take one game
at a time when we play
games like those."

fane wants Sugar to end senior year
By Barry Webne
Plainsman Sportswrlter
"Some men see things as they
I are and say why. I dream things
that never were and say why not."
These words, by the late Robert
Kennedy, reflect in them the
patience, determination and in­spiration
of Auburn's senior quar­terback
John Crane.
Head Coach Doug Barfield says,
"I admire John Crane. He kept his
good attitude even though in his
first three years he hardly got to
J
&
play football. He waited for his
opportunity and this year he got it.
He's improving every game and is
a fine example of leadership and
determination.''
Crane came to Auburn after
attending Martin County High

iger defense helps clinch win
By Jim Patton
Plainsman Sportswriter
DEFENSE. John Crane summed up last Saturday's
^ame better than anyone when he said, "Thank the
3rd for defense and for Freddie Smith." The defense
id a great job. Bob Rhodes was all over the field;
Jonnie Givens played will despite a bad back;
larles Wood made sure there would be some Rebels
flaying with bad backs next week; and Alan Hardin
landled punts like a pro.
Hicks, Bellamy, Jones, J. Smith, Allen, McQuaig,
jJhaw, Hubbard, Hardy, Fuller, Freeman, McKinney,
Arnold, etc., etc.; they all contributed. Skip Johnston
Reserves a lot of credit, too.
And of course Freddie Smith. What can be said
kbout him that hasn't already been said? With all the
parly season talk about the Heisman trophy, it would
pe nice to see a linebacker's name given
ponsideration for the award.
Only one team has been able to stop Auburn's
jrffense and that is Auburn. We've been stopping
ourselves with fumbles and penalties. The offensive
scheme is the most innovative and sound I've been
Associated with since I've been at Abuurn.
In each game we've been close to an outstanding
Offensive performance, and then we stop ourselves.
lose isn't good enough and we're working each day
obtain our goal of zero defects. The work will pay
bff, and the offense will return a favor and bail the
defense out of a game.
Offensive linemen don't get their names in print
[rery much, and they probably deserve publicity more
anyone. So here are the well-known nicknames
bf our four, senior offensive linemen—Mike "Iron
Ian" Skelton, Rick "Stab" Chenault, Marvin
|'Kool-Aid" Trott and Lynn "Bull Dozer" Johnson.
Rick got his name because he stabs folks when he
slocks them; Mike because he's as hard and tough as
Lynn because he clears the way like bull dozer;
id Marvin...well Marvin is a little different story.
larvin's head is as big as the animated character
'Goofy Grape" who does certain soft drink
Commercials.
At the first practice session of this season, Coach
3arfield assured our team we wouldn't have to worry
kbout another team being in better condition than
purs. He wasted little time in proving his point. At the
of practice, he supervised a gruelling period of
.inning that many players, including myself, were
fiot able to finish.
At the end of each day we had this conditioning
period. Each time we dreaded it a little more, but
bach time more peopl£ were able to complete it and
pach time we gained a little more confidence that we •
/ere working harder than the teams we would play.
The fourth quarter is when conditioning pays off
le most. This year we have outscored our opponents
to 64. However, in the fourth quarter we have
putscored them 25 to 3, and not a single opponent has
putscored us in the final stanza. (Knock on wood.)
Friday night the team went to see a movie together
/hlch has been a tradition at Auburn for a long time.
)n this particular night we went to see "Star Wars"
id it was kind of weird that so many of the
;rs on the screen resembled Auburn ball
jlayers.

All those little, spunky guys in the black hoods
looked like our secondary. And then that hairy fellow
named Chewy, who hollered so much when he was
playing chess, was a dead ringer for Mike Locklear.
Lock is a threat to pull someone's arm off when he
starts losing, too.
The big dude dressed in black named Darth Vader,
who breathed so loud and acted so mean, was a
perfect resemblance of Rodney Bellamy when he
served as the executioner at a Sewell Hall-sponsored
kangaroo court. "Robot" Bob Butler definitely
learned how to walk from the same teacher as the
shiny droid, SEE-THREEPIO. The Kim Seller's band
was knocking out a good sound at the bar scene.
Rusty Byrd could pass for the twin of the guy who
followed Obe Juan Kenobe and company out of the
bar. So as not to get Rusty mad, I'm not going to
mention that the guy had a long nose.
Back to being serious, N.C. State is next, and they
are tough. They have a fine quarterback, Johnny
Evans, who is an excellent punter. Their offense has
been powerful all year long and has been able to keep
their defense off the field. Thus, their defense has
gained confidence and no one has been able to score
many points.
The Wolf pack, just had an impressive victory over
ACC-power and nationally-ranked Maryland. State
hasn't lost since their opening game.
I worked out with Mr. Evans for a week when we
were both attending an FCA conference this summer.
He mentioned that NC State had never played before
a crowd as large as the one they expected at Auburn.
So bring a little extra spirit and wind-power to
Jordan-Hare Saturday; and with the help of y'all
screaming, crazy, fantastic Auburn fans, we'll win
number four at the expense of the Wolf pack!

School in Stuart, Fla., where he
played quarterback.
"It's hard coming out of high
school being the 'big gun' and
going to college where you are
practically nothing," said Crane.
In his sophomore year at
Auburn, Crane was third string
quarterback. As a junior, he
became second string, and today
he is finally receiving all the fame
and glory that goes with being a
genuine leader.
"In the past three years I
couldn't say for sure what I was
thinking about," said Crane. I
always went Into spring practice
with a positive attitude. When fall
came I hardly ever got a chance to
play. I did play nine out of twelve
games last season, but each time
was only for about two minutes."
Barfield said, "We always plan­ned
to play John more last season,
but the games were too tight. He's
one of the hardest workers and one
of the most dedicated athletes I've
seen. He is always ready when we
need him physically as well as In
the mental sense."
"My ambition before the season
Is over is to win the Southeastern
Conference Championship and ad­vance
to the Sugar Bowl," Crane
said. "I think we have a heck of a
shot at it if we stay healthy. The
last four games on our schedule
are all tough.
"I get many letters from pro
scouts. I think if I were given the
opportunity to play pro football, I
would. I'm shooting to obtain my
best this year and go on to pro's.
Most people think that the only
games we play are during the
regular season. They don't think I
have the experience to become
pro, but in the off-season we play
one scrimmage about every two
weeks, the only difference with
this is there are no fans. I
think that from these scrimmages
I am obtaining the experience I
need.
"I like football and the feeling I
get after playing for 60 minutes
and coming off of the field a
winner and knowing I gave 100 per.
cent of my mind and body.
"If I don't go to pro football, my
career is over; I have no future in
it."
Barfield said, "John's future is
right now, looking ahead and
concentrating on the following
games and coming out of them a
winner."
"I don't have any spare time to
have a hobby or anything such as
that. Football takes up about 90
percent of my time, and the rest is
spent doing homework," Crane
said.
For most athletes it is the skill
and speed that they possess. For
John Crane, it is a lot more than
that. He possesses a frame of mind
that is unusual among people of
his stature and that consists of
determination, dedication and de­sire.

Rogers: 'College football
a big learning experience'
By Paul South
Plainsman Sportswriter
Dennis Rogers says his
first three months df
major college football
has been a "tremendous
learning experience" and
if he has anything to do
with it that experience
will include a national
championship.
' 'I strongly believe that
we can win it," Rogers
said after leading the
junior varsity Tigers in
tackles with 10 sqlos arid
two assists in a losing
effort against Florida
Monday. We've got the
people to do it. We just
need to keep improving."
Rogers, who prepped
at Birmingham's Wood-lawn
High, has yet to
dress out for a varsity
game but says when he
came to Auburn, he
didn't expect to move up
to the varsity. However,
as a linebacker on the
scout team, he feels he
can make a contribution.
"It doesn't bother me,"
he said. "Just as long as
I can help the team I'll
be happy. But if the time
ever comes, I'll be ready
to give it my best shot."
"Team" is a very
important work in
Roger's vocabulary.
I'm not concerned with

ROGERS RELAXES
..Leading junior v a r s i t y tackier
what I do on the field. It
takes 11 to play football,
so I think of things in a
team concept not as an
individual."
Rogers, who began his
high school career as a
fullback, says playing
running back has helped
him as a defensive play­er.
"When you're In the
backfield you're cau­tious,
and sometimes you
tend to look to the hole
before the play ever
starts. The defensive
man has an advantage.
Florida did that a lot
today."
Rogers used the Flor­ida
backs to his advan­tage,
getting 10 tackles
and two assists plus a
fumble recovery In Au­burn's
junior varsity.
Rogers is also a team
leader. Playing most of
the second half with
severe leg cramps one of
his teammates said, "He
just makes you want to
go out and work that
much harder." Auburn's
junior varsity defense led
by Rogers' performance
shut down the Florida
wishbone attack includ­ing
a goal line stand in
the second half after the
Gators had first and goal
at the 4-yard line.
Rogers says college
football has changed his
life. "When you're a-round
these older guys
you grow up pretty fast.
And if I don't keep
growing up in my per­sonal
and athletic life,
I'll get left behind."
If Monday's perfor­mance
is any indication,
Rogers won't get left
behind, and maybe, just
maybe, he'll get that
national title.
