Auburn nursing school
granted by legislature
By Barry Webne
News Editor
A nursing school for Auburn
University has been funded by the
Alabama State Legislature. The
funds were included in the $54
million of the state education
budget allotted to Auburn.
Auburn will use $500,000 of the
allocated funds for the new school.
Plans for the proposed school are
being developed by a committee to
be appointed today by Auburn
President Harry M. Philpott.
"We have to explore this situa­tion
before we give definite plans
about the school," Philpott said.
Philpott said the school will fall
into a category all its own. "It will
be called the School of Nursing,"
he said.
A building is now being planned
for the Auburn campus that will
house all health related sciences,
although "No site has been chosen
for the building," Philpott said,
"We will request funds for such a
building first priority."
The nursing school staff will also
be under discussion. Philpott said,
"We first need to seek a dean for
the school. We will take applica­tions
from over the entire nation
and then screen the ones we get.
The committee will select the
dean."
Philpott said he does not expect a
significant increase in student
population when the school opens.
"Some pre-med students will stay
rather than leave Auburn. I
couldn't be exact, but I think the
increase will be very small."
"We are going to have to find a
place for these students to live no
matter what the increase is,"
added Philpott. "We will look at
this problem close before we make
a decision."
Evaluations
Senate urges publication of results
By Donna Cook
Assistant Features Editor
After several past efforts to
compile adequate teacher evalua­tion
booklets which would aid
students in choosing teachers best
suited to their needs, the future
now looks promising according to
Jeff Elevins, chairman of the Aca­demic
Affairs Committee.
This action came after the
summer senate unanimously ap­proved
a resolution to publish the
booklet at the Aug. 1 meeting.
Belvins, said the booklets will
probably be compiled during the
fall, and will be ready for distribu­tion
winter quarter.
The booklet, which will be based
on results of student completed
evaluations, will provide "statisti­cal
and narrative information of
Auburn University courses and
teachers."
Also included will be an introduc­tion
urging students to be optimis­tic
and mature when using the
booklet, along with information on
the "enthusiasm, approachibility
and assessibility of each teacher."
Blevins said the main objective
of the booklet is to "help a student
find a teacher (and a course) who
uses teaching methods which help
him learn best."
He also said the success or
failure of the booklet would depend
on the student evaluations, and
urged students not to use the
evaluations as a "revenge tactic"
to strike back at a teacher who has
given him a bad grade.
He also said the evaluations will
stop a lot of unnecessary drop-and-add
students going through in
order to find the right teacher and
course for their needs.
Although the cost of the booklets
could not be estimated at this time,
Blevins said he feels the benefits
will greatly outweigh the cost if the
student handles the information
properly.
/The resolution will be presented
to the regular senate in the fall,
\ who will then assign a committee
U to study the benefits of the booklet.
^~ Dr. Taylor Littleton, vice presi­dent
of Academic Affairs, said he
feels the booklet now looks promis­ing,
and said he would "be glad to
support the effort."
! Littleton said the only problems
he anticipates is that some faculty
/members may feel compromised
^and choose not to participate.
He also said he has some doubt
as to the value of the booklet in
actually aiding students on proper
selection of professors and courses.
SGA President Jeff Stone said he
supports the evaluation booklet,
and feels both the students and the
teachers will benefit from the book.
' "The faculty will possibly benefit
the most because the booklet will
show them how students feel about
them," he said.

When fresmen arrive on campus this fall, they have
a strong show to follow. The 1077 freshmen class
surpassed national averages for ACT, SAT and high
school grade point averages. The freshmen scored an
average 22.0. on the ACT, compared to a national
average of 18.8 Their SAT average was 1015
compared to a national 880. Their high school grade
points were 3.24 on a 4.0 scale compared to a national
average of 2.87. The statistics were compiled by the
Office of Institutional Analysis.
Coors can legally quench thirst
By Danielle Murphy
Assistant News Editor
It was once illegal to drink, but if
you are in Birmingham today
order up a Coors and see if you
don't get exactly what you asked
for, and without the risk of hand­cuffs.
Tou can get Coors beer now
because of a favorable decision in
the case of Central Beverage Inc.
vs. Frank Potts, who is head of the
ABC board, which was heard by
U.S. District Judge J. Foy Guin
last Thursday.
Dudley Davis, of Dudley Davis
Ford in Alex City, Ala., and
founder of Central Beverage Com­pany
said "The judge held that we
could legally distribute Coors beer
and that the Alabama Beverage

Control Board (ABC) regulations
were not viable.
A clerk in Guin's office said that
the opinion had not been drawn up
yet. "The judge makes the decision
and Issues an opinion later. The
opinion is just the wording of the
decision."
He said the outcome of the case
was just to allow Coors to come into
the state of Alabama.

Everyone dances to the beat of a
different drummer, but if you were
in Auburn Friday or Saturday
night your chances of finding your
particular drummer was probably
a 100 percent sure thing.

.bands from 'SOs, '40s, '80s, and '60s swing into town
that they were in the Auburn
Knights Band.
"The Knights come here each
year," Bob Richardson of the
music department said. "They
form individual bands from each
decade that they were here, like
'30s, '40s and SOs bands and so on.
There are some members of the
Auburn Knights that have attained
national recognition: such artists
as Tonl Tennille of the Captain and
Tennille, as well as Dave Edwards,
who is with the Lawerence Welk
Show and Urbie Green—the famed
trombone player.
Richardson said these members
haven't been able to make it to the
past few reunions because they are
so busy "making money," and
establishing their careers.
"We do have a number of good
musicians. Tou can't get any
better than drummer Sonny Harris
or saxophonist Rick Bell,"
Richardson said. "Jim Taylor, who
plays the trumpet out of Atlanta is
great, too.
"I can't forget Gene Mullins,"
Richardson said. "Gene is the
number one trombone player in
Nashville, Tenn. That's where all
the recording is done. He is just a
good musician."
There are also many people who
want to play, and can do so, that
aren't in the business profession­ally.
"For instance Dr. Dick
Johnson, a physician from Atlanta,
Ga., never misses a year,"
Richardson said. "Then there's

Alums present plane
for athletic use
By Marilyn Kitchens
Plainsman Staff Writer
A new $781,000 Kingair plane was
purchased by the Auburn Univer­sity
alumni through the Greater
Auburn Fund, according to George
L. Bradberry, executive secretary
of the Auburn Alumni Association.
"Several thousand people donate
money to the GAF, Bradberry
said, "and the Athletic Department
and the Executive Committee of
the Auburn Alumni Association
made the decision to use the funds
for the purchase of the plane."
Different companies made bids
on the plane with the lowest bid
coming from Hanger One, a com­pany
operating out of Atlanta.
. Bradberry said that regular
athletic funds, which for the most
part come through the gate, could
have been used to purchase the
plane, but the Alumni Association
and the Athletic Department felt
that it would probably be more
practical to use the private funds
for the purchase.
"The alumni that give to this
private fund happen to be what
might be called keyed-up athletic
fans that are interested in being
competitive," Bradberry said.
"It's a matter a good buisness to be
competitive, because if you're not
competitive you're not going to sell
tickets, and if you don't sell tickets
you're not going to be able to
finance the rest of the program.
You've got to be competitive, it's
just that simple."
The plane, which holds seven or
eight passengers and two pilots will
arrive Aug. 23 and will be used not
only for the football program, but
also for other University related
trips.
"The entire athletic department
will have access to the plane, but
the football program will come
first since booster funds from
football bought the plane. Use of
the plane will not be denied to other
programs at Auburn University,
Bradberry said.
According to estimations by the
School of Aviation, which will be
handling the equipment, the plane
will be used 500 flying hours a year,
which is one hour 45 minutes a day
or 300 miles a day on the average.
The University already has two
planes, an Aztec, which is over 10
years old, and a Navaho, a 3-year-old
plane. Bradberry felt this third
plane was needed, if for no other
reason than the growth of the
University.
Bradberry stressed that the Uni­versity
could have taken $75,000
and bought a plane, but if this had
been done, it would have taken
money away for the academic;
program. nld

The tutoring program
at Lee Count Jail is a
worthwhile program ac­cording
to Debby Coggin,
one of five tutors involved
with this volunteer work.
In accordance with
Adult Basic Education,
the tutoring program had
its start in April of this

AU summer enrollment up
Summer enrollment for
the two campuses of Au­burn
University showed
an increase of 3.6 percent
over last summer for a
new record, according to
official figures released
this week by Dr. Wilbur
A. Tincher, dean of stu­dent
services.
The main campus has a
total of 7,758, compared
to 7,576 during 1977, up 2.4
percent. The total this
summer for AUM is 2,690,
up 7.1 percent over last
summer's 2,511. .
Total combined enroll­ment
for this summer is
10,448, compared to 10,087
for 1977.
Schools showing the
largest increase this
summer on the main
campus were Home Eco­nomics
with nearly 13
percent and Agriculture
and Engineering with
nearly 11 percent each.
Others showing some in­crease
were Architecture
and Fine Arts, and Busi­ness.
Veterinary Medi­cine
remained with Arts
and Sciences, Education
and Pharmacy dropping
3.3, 8.5 and 9.6 percent
respectively.
Increases were re­flected
at all levels from
sophomore through grad­uate
level, but the num­ber
of freshmen, unclas­sified
and special stu­dents
decreased, accor­ding
to Tincher.
Following a trend of
recent years, the number
of women increased at a
higher rate than men.
There are now 3,302
women registered and
4,456 men.
sheets on a junior high to
high school level.
The inmates mainly
are young males in their
early to mid twenties.
The tutoring is done on a
one-to-one basis in prepa­ration
for the G.E.D.
(high school equivalency
test).
The passing of this test
may help inmates find
work with the Civil Ser­vice
or large companies
who honor the G.E.D.
The program is under
the Friends of Lee County
Jail. Those interested
should ring Lucia Pen-land,
president, at
821-0107, Debby Coggin at
826-4360 or Gene Hunter
at 749-0738.
Although none of the
inmates have taken the

is in its formative
stage *and hopes to pro­gress
this fall.

Governor
Two seek • §
By Barry Webne
News Editor
This week The Plains­man
will round out its
gubernatorial candidate
stories with profiles on
two final candidates,
State Sen. Sid McDonald
and Charles Woods.
The basis for the
McDonald campaign is
based on taking money
out of the Special Educa­tion
Trust Fund and re­allocating
it to the Gen­eral
Fund.
If elected, McDonald
will take incompetent
teachers out of the state
education system. He be­lieves
by doing this he
can make education
better.
A McDonald represen­tative
said six out of
seven tax dollars go to
education. The represen­tative
said that if
McDonald is elected he
will not introduce new
taxes. Out of the $175
million in Alabama taxes,
the education budget is
set at $150 million.
McDonald believes that
the highway program is
in a sad state. His repre­sentative
said the high­way
fund is underfunded
and through re-allocation
of funds, more money will
be provided for this pro­gram.
Woods' campaign is
based on the idea of
putting a regressive tax
structure into effect.
Woods said, "The tax
structure at present is
hurting the businessman.
We need to shift the taxes
more towards big busi­ness,
so the businessman
will no longer suffer."
According to Woods,
there will be more busi­ness
if his plan is imple­mented.
He said that the
state of Alabama is low in
economic status. This
shift in taxation will
mean more money for the
state.
Woods said, "The
power rates in Alabama
are 20-25 percent higher
than in the surrounding
states. This is because
of the Public Commis­sion.
We need to lower
utility bills in Alabama.
"I'm a businessman,"
said Woods. "As gover­nor
I will help the
workers of the state. I
want to help my fellow
man."
Woods said that the
education situation in
Alabama was not in
severe shape. He said
that teachers should be
given more funding to
promote better educa­tion.

Buying power cards cause problem
By Barry Webne
News Editor
It has been approxi­mately
one year since the
Student Government at
Auburn University began
to distribute Student Buy­ing
Power Cards to stu­dents
on campus, and in
that year there have been
few problems.
According to Jeff
Stone, Auburn SGA Presi­dent,
"The main problem
I think was the fact that
students didn't get real
discounts from the cards,
they proved to be no real
help.
Stone said that former
SGA president John Bush
promoted the cards be­cause
they were of no cost
to the University. "He
went along with the
cards," said Stone.
The Student Buying Po­wer
Cards were intro­duced
last Fall quarter to
Auburn students. It en-

and Ramada Inn of Opeli-ka.
The L and B Marketing
Company brought the
card to Auburn. In the
production of this card
many students became
confused as to its use.
The card gives certain
rates of discounts at vari­ous
stores in the Auburn
area. L and B Marketing
misprinted the card and
this confused students as
well as store owners.
The card was under
much criticism during its
first appearance at Au­burn,
because of these
misprints.
Olin L. Hill said, "I

I don't have much to say
about it though."
A representative from
Herbert Music said,
"They printed up the
cards wrong at the begin­ning.
The discounts at our
store were only for musi­cal
instruments. Students
felt they were getting
taken because they
couldn't get discounts on
records."
Representatives from
Davids Den II said,
"There have been no
problems. L and B Manu­facturing
didn't advertise
the card that well. If they
would have done it right,
the card would help. A lot
of people use the card."
The manager of Rama­da
Inn of Opelika said,
"There have been no
problems, but not many
students use the card
here."
A representative of
Captain D's said, "We've
honored the cards with no
problems. We have at
least 20-25 people each
day use the card in our
restaurant."
While its long-range
impact is yet to be mea­sured,
the Minority Intro­duction
to Engineering
(MITE) Program was an
initial success in its first
summer of existence at
Auburn University.
Program MITE, as it
was called by partici­pants,
was a recent, two-week
seminar attended
by 20 high school stu­dents,
all minority-group
members. In the group
were 19 blacks and one
American Indian. Con­ducted
by the AU School
of Engineering, MITE
consisted of classroom
activity, laboratory ses­sions
and field trips to
industries. Everything
was intended to introduce
the specially selected stu­dents
to the possibilities
of an education and
career in engineering.
The students were
chosen from 80 applicants
submitted by high school
counselors. Every public
high school in the state
was invited to nominate
juniors, based on acade­mic
records and indivi­dual
qualities.
For MITE Co-Director
Dr. John S. Kennedy,
assistant professor of
aerospace engineering at
AU, the most rewarding
measure of success was
offered by the MITE
youths themselves.
Asked to complete an
objective critique of the
program on its final full
day, all participants
highly praised MITE and
said they would readily
recommend it to eligible
friends, he said. Several
stated they were inspired
by the exposure to college
life and to engineering in
particular, Kennedy also
noted.
"It was so beneficial,
it's hard to put into
words," commented one
student.
A suggestion that
cropped up repeatedly
was a plea for pillows.
"MITE organizers," said
Kennedy, chuckling,
"were unaware the Uni­versity
doesn't provide
pillows with its dormitory
rooms."
For 10 hours almost
every day, the students
were exposed to various
fields of engineering, in­cluding
aerospace, agri­cultural,
chemical, civil,
electrical, industrial,
mechanical and textile.
There was a lecture about
each field and a related,
hands-on lab.
the students a chance to
see practical application
of engineering training
and a chance to talk to
working engineers, said
Kennedy. They also spent
two hours each day learn­ing
basic computer pro­gramming
and engineer­ing
math.
"The participants were
treated as regular college
students and had access
to all of Auburn's student
facilities," said Kennedy,
adding that several ex­pressed
pleasant surprise
at the opportunity to ex­perience
college life first­hand.
Co-director with Ken­nedy
was Dr. James O.
Nichols, associate pro­fessor
of aerospace en­gineering.
Formal class­room
Instruction was
given daily by Dr. Rod
Jenkins, assistant profes­sor
of civil engineering,
and Dr. Thomas H.
Shumpert, assistant pro­fessor
of electrical engi­neering.
Based on this year's
results, Auburn will
attempt to conduct at
least one MITE session
during the summer of
1979, said Kennedy.

Fall housing looks "pretty tight"
By Terry Mays
Plainsman Staff Writer
Claude Layfield, pro­fessor
of industrial engi­neering
at Auburn Uni­versity,
is planning to
build a museum to com­memorate
Auburn Uni­versity
and the Auburn
area.
"The purpose is to give
us an opportunity
to showcase our fine uni­versity
and community,"
said Layfield.
Layfield would like to
have exhibits that show
the contributions of peo­ple
from Auburn. He
hopes to have one large
area where exhibits can
be changed every two
months.
Presently the museum
is a self-funded operation.
Layfield is accepting con­tributions
from any
source. "We have to rely
on donations and mem­berships,"
Layfield said.
One non-monetary con­tribution
received, a
large coin collection, was
from the Alabama Numa-ters
Sociey.

It won't be long now. Before the student body realizes it, Auburn athletics
will be in full swing as the 1978 football season begins. Because this is the last
opportunity to do so before the opening kickoff, we would like to wish all
Auburn athletics both the women and the men the best. We hope Auburn can
overcome any damper the NCAA probe places on War Eagle sports and we are
hoping that whether we win or lose on the filed, Tiger fans will reign number
one in their support. War Eagle!

about 2:00 a.m. Wednesday. I was a
little bit nervous as the night was very

outside.
Suddenly there was a knock at the
door. I froze as the door knob started
to turn.
"Is it Aubbie the Tiger, visiting me
as he did Brad Davis earlier this SSSm

Buildings on the Auburn campus revolt! It's about time that something was
done to the appearance of various bildings at Auburn. Physical Plant officials
should see the need for building improvements and get something done this
summer before 18,000 students come down for the fall. Since this fall nothing
probably will be done because everyone will be busy and the campus will be
crowded, something should be done now. University officials should see the
need for work on buildings and make sure something is done. Either tear the
buildings down or fix them. If they stay like they are now they will eventually
fall.

"Oh, pretty good," he said. "This
has really been a summer I'll look
back on with pleasure.
"Yea, I'll really be glad to get back
to writing sports where I belong," I
said. "But there is nothing that quite
matches the experience of being
editor of a newspaper. This will sure
look good on my resume."
"It's sad to put out this farewell
edition," I continued. "We (the
summer staff) have had a lot of fun
and learned quite a bit this quarter,
but Dick Parker has some big plans
and I think next year's paper has a
chance to be the best ever.''
Org scratched the open scar on his
forehead, "Yea, I have really enjoyed
affiliating with you guys. I hope I
have helped some of the students of
Auburn with their problems."
"I think so," I said with a smile.
' 'By the way what are you going to be
doing this fall?"
"I'm thinking about renting
myself out for fraternity parties," he
said. "Or maybe just hang out with
my friends at Dudley Hall. Whatever,
it will never overshadow my being
able to write for The Plainsman. Every
student ought to work on the student
newspaper for at least one quarter
while they are in school."
Suddenly, the clock struck 3 and
Org said that he had better be going.
"Bye, Org, it's been fun," I said.
Org left the office, and as he did he
wiped a small tear from the gross dark
circle under his left eye.
This is the last issue of the summer Plainsman. We return to begin the
1978-79 season with an edition out on Sept. 28, but we won't be returning en
masse.
Nine staffers aren't coming back. Both Danielle Murphy and Johnny Haslam
finish their stints at Auburn with an internship at The Auburn
Bulletin—Johnny in sports, Danielle in news. Three staffers graduate—Pat
O'Conner is off to University of Georgia Law School, the future Second
Lieutenant Karen Remppel heads to Indiana for Adjutant General Corps
Officer's Basic Course and Will Dickey, the famed Glomerata photographer
who took over summer photo editor reins, returns home to Chatnam to begin a
life in the darkroom.
Dianne Byington leaves for a permanent job as ad representative at The
Auburn Bulletin. Mike Sellers returns to normal student life, maybe even
taking a few courses. And, last, but not lease, both Ann Gracie and Beth Shaw
depart for marital bliss in Birmingham and Montevallo, respectively.
To these people, and all summer graduates, we wish the best the future
could possible hold.

Growing up with A U orange and blue isn 't easy
Growing up is never easy.. Home
towns are boring, life seems dull and
when the teenage years roll around,
most kids are ready to run screaming
to the closest college town for relief.
Most kids, but not all. Consider the
plight of those of us reared in those
college towns. Auburn, for instance.
From the moment we are first
bundled into orange and blue baby
blankets.we are branded asadifferent
species, as alien as anything from
outer space. In Auburn, a child learns
to say "War Eagle" before he can say
"Mama." He learns to revere Shug

Christmas.
Strangely enough, the vast majority
of us misfits undergo a drastic change
during, our high school years. We
The Auburn
Plainsman
suddenly become aware that football
players and cheerleaders arc mere
mortals, and begin to feel resentful
when local merchants give them
discounts and free merchandise. We
begin to develop an intense dislike for
anything that is orange and blue,
people included. We feel vast con­tempt
for Auburn businesses that
have football helmet light fixtures.
It's enough to drive a person mad.
This is not to say that we reject the
town itself. The city of Auburn is one
of the most beautiful and peaceful
places a person could live. Rather, it is
Auburn's value system that repels us,
a system that places too much
emphasis on sports. Auburn Univer­sity
is world-famous for its excellent
schools, and citizens should behave
accordingly.
Another tragic aspect of growing up
in Auburn is we lose the excitement of
going away to college. To students
who call most of the professors
"Uncle," having grown up with their
kids; to those of us who know the
halls of Haley Center from junior high
school field trips; and to those of us
living two blocks away from Dear Old
Mom, the "Auburn Experience" is as
bland as cottage cheese.
What is to become of us? Is there
life after Auburn? We don't know.
No one who grew up here ever
returned to tell.

He'd just reach out with his hand
and feel up the tree, pushing himself
away from it and guiding himself
around it, then shuffle on down the
street, without ever moving his head.
For the folks at the University of
Alabama sitting there saying, "Typi­cal
Auburn, typical Auburn," let me
be quick to point out that the
gentleman weren't no dummy. He
was a brilliant person who was asked
by the U.S. government to work on
top secret, atomic experiments they
were conducting then.
Of course, I realize that other
schools must have characters around
that make getting up in the morning
more worthwhile, but they can't
possibly have Auburn's proliferation
of zany individuals who even make
staying up all night worthwhile.
There's a chemistry professor who
enjoys astounding his class by walking
in with a jacket that he takes off and
"hangs" on an imaginery hook each
day. And every time it falls to the
floor and he goes on with class like he
never noticed. Except the last day.
Before his final class each quarter he
sneaks in and puts a thin nail in the
wall that no one can see.
When he walks in the class is
chattering, expecting the usual
routine, but lo and behold, when he
hangs his coat on the wall it stays.
Andpondemonium breaks out in the
classroom.
That same professor also perpe­trated
one of the most marvelous
classroom antics that I think anyone
will ever hear about. Someone in his
class raised his hand and asked him to
define infinity. "Infinity?" he
questioned the student back, "I'll
show you."
With that, he picked up a piece of
chalk, and began drawing a line across
the blackboard. But he didn't stop.
He kept going down the wall, out the
lot. Please refrain from parking it here
in the future. The A and P parking lot
manager." He and his wife sunk
down in their seats and waited for the
victim to return.
When the victim came out, he
picked up the note and read it with no
appeciable change of expression. The
practical joker was crushed as the
victim got in his car and drove off
without even a smirk.
The next Monday he met his quarry
in the hall, and before he could say
anything, the victim surprised him
with a vehement. "You know what
happened to me Friday?
"I went to A and P and when I
came out, there was a note on my car
telling me it was a hunk of junk and
not to park it thete anymore. I was
furious—my car is as good as anyone
else's."
The joker managed to control
himself and asked what he's done
about it. "I wrote the president of A
and P," the man said. "I mailed it
this morning." The joker lost his
cookies. The victim lost his cool when
he found out who'd done it. And I'd
love to know what the president of A
and P's secretary lost when she read
the letter.

door and down the hallway. And he
didn't come back that day.
The next day as the class settled in
and waited for the teacher, they heard
a scraping sound coming down the
hall. In walked the prof., still drawing
the line around the room. He stopped
when he got back to the blackboard,
turned and faced the class and said,
"Any questions?"
There weren't any, but if I'd been
there, I'd have asked him to please go
over that again.
Of course, there are students who
rival these entreprising professors for
attention-grabbing appeal, but few
have achieved such magnitude in
their undergraduate status. There is
one, though, who aimed at it while he
was working on the doctoral program.
Sitting in the parking lot of A and
P, with his wile (I guess he was
watching them load the truck on a
Friday night lacking anything better
in Auburn.) this graduate student
noticed a colleague he had just met
that day drive up and go in the store.
Being a practical joker, he decided the
time was perfect to initiate a new
victim.
He wrote a note on a brown paper
bag that said, ' 'Your car is a hunk of

This is the city, Washington, D.C,
the hustle, bustle and action of real
city life, it's great.
Getting out of bed at 6:30 on a
hot, muggy August morning.
Climbing into the shower after a
long night in Georgetown.
After the ritual of eating and
dressing, I'm ready to go downtown
to work and fight city life. The city
that is the center of our nation.
I leave my home in Bethesda, Md.,
about 7:30 a.m. and walk to the bus
stop on Massachusetts Avenue, about
half a mile up the road. Twenty other
people arc waiting for the same bus,
just my luck.
The first bus passed us by because it
was too crowded, but there is soon
another in sight. Maybe if I'm lucky
I'll get a scat for the 45-minute ride.
Packed in like sardines, sometimes
50-60 people on a bus. At times we
would make it downtown without
breaking down, and other times wc
wouldn't.
As we ramble down Massachusetts
Avenue, I'm so used to the ride that I
know the many landmarks along the
way. Passing the National Cathedral,
Embassy Row and the Vice Presi­dent's
house on the way.
Downtown at last, in 15 minutes.
Now a 30 minute ordeal to travel one
mile in traffic. I could take the
subway, but I couldn't guarantee that
I'd make it out alive, so I guess I'll
stay on the bus.
At 8:45 a.m. I'm to work at last.
The air is so heaw that it's hard to
breathe, humid, polluted and warm
air. It's only 85 this morning, I hope
it won't make it past 110 today.
Riding up the elevator to where I
work is the best part of the trip. Nice
clean, cool air, if the air-conditioner
hasn't broken down yet.
There's no time to waste when you
go to the District Cojrt Building, the
Library of Congress and the Senate
Office Building in an hour.
Lunch hour is here, the best part of
the day. Now it's time to find a nice
Barry
Webne
place to eat where you don't have to
wait in line for long. Chow down a
decent meal in less than half-an-hour.
It isn't easy, but it can be done.
Back to the same old thing at work,
errands, deadlines and more errands.
About this time I ask myself what I'm
doing in a place like this where there's
no time to relax.
Now the hardest part of the day
comes, trying to get back home after
work. Usually I get a ride, but
sometimes I have to take the bus.
Leaving at 5:30 p.m. with an hour
of driving ahead of us, good driving
ability is needed along with a cool
temper in the hot weather.
Bumper to bumper to bumper, for
eight miles, gets boring real quick.
Thousands of people, like rats, trying
to escape the city to their nice homes
in suburbia, no one gives anyone a
break. The farther we go down
Massachusetts Avenue, the lighter the
traffic gets.
It takes a good mind to know
which direction to head home after
work. The amount of traffic really
depends on the weather. Heat and
rain slows it down.
Well it happened again, the bus 3
miles ahead of us has stalled, blocking
traffic. Another 30 minutes added to
our trip.
Finally we get home, nerve shaken
but still alive. Now if I can only eat a
good meal before I go out on the
town, and before the entire cycle
begins again.
Life in the big citv. Life in the big,
dirty and busy city. It's remarkable
and crazy, but I love it.

Letters 'How can fifty billion/lies be wrong?
The Auburn Plainsman Thursday, August 10,1978
Editor, The Plainsman:
I once saw a slogan that said, ' 'Fifty

manure." Bob Rogers' letter to the
editor last week expressed a similiar
philosophy: "Auburn's crumbling
A-5 block: and chipped paint can't be
M B wrong, build Magnolia Plaza."
I don't believe it. Bob, you made
the right decision when you got out of
architecture, or maybe not. Perhaps
further education would have enabled
you to truly understand what you
advocated. You excuse an insensitive
new building on the basis of deteri­orated
existing buildings without
realizing the reasons for the deterio­ration
or the opportunities for the
new construction.

High educational institutions need to grow as Alabama progresses
I read Jeff Stone's suggestion to
limit enrollment at Auburn Univer­sity
with despair, but little surprise.
His key statement seemed to be that
"growth can be a negative factor in
terms of quality of life.'' This attitude
is and has been for many many years a
way of life for people of the deep
south. Our leaders have seldom
questioned the slow, easy pace of
southern living.
After all, isn't the South, a land
steeped in tradition, reluctantly,
slowly, giving way to the new and yet
clinging ever so tenderly to the old
way of life? This is something referred
to as ultra conservatism.
This aversion to growth might also
be linked to the fact that Alabama
and other southern states (notably
Mississippi) have for years ranked
lower in per capita income, industry,
literacy and public education than
any other state or geographic area in
the nation. Even the reasons for our
recent economic growth are somewhat
of an insult. Number one, the labor's
cheap, and two, the state is patheti­cally
underdeveloped. Both are lures
to industrial developers.
But the South is rising again. The
industry is pouring in. People are
experiencing a better way of life. The mm

Bunn sets Drake
letter straight
Editor, The Plainsman:
In response to the letter written by
Becky Baker in the Aug. 3 issue of
The Plainsman, I have a few cor­rections
for her. She is correct about
the time of occurence of the accident
involving my thumb. I wrote the
letter to The Plainsman immediately
after the incident, but they chose to
print the letter this late. I also named
the physician who treated me, in the
letter I wrote, but The Plainsman
chose to edit this out of my letter. I
wrote the letter to The Plainsman in
order that the doctor might read it
and also that the students might read
it. I had no idea that the letter would
be printed so late and that the
doctor's name would not be publish­ed
with it. As far as a second opinion
involving my diagnosis, I chose to get
that opinion elsewhere, since I do
.have "freedom of choice of physici­an."
I hope this will clear up a few
discrepancies for Ms. Baker.

feel that Betsy Butgereit. and the rest
of the newspaper staff did an excellent
job in their coverage of the events
preceding, during, and following the
drive.
I feel that, if credits are to be given
to participants in the 1978 Summer
Blood Drive, the participants should
be identified unmistakenly. Through
my telephone conversation with
Laurie Johnson, I failed to do that. I
take full responsibility for the incor­rect
identification of some of those
participants named in the aforemen­tioned
article. But, I would like to
recognize those groups in this letter.
The appropriate names should have
been: Kappa Epsilon (the pharmacy
fraternity for women), Roy Whaley's
local Explorer post (who did a
fantastic job at the Vet School as well
as at Haley Center), and the Lambda
Chi Alpha social fraternity. The
reason for my recognition of these
groups, as well as the others in the
Aug. 3 article, is that these groups
pledged a finite number of persons
per hour to the drive.
I would also like to thank Dr.
Wheatley's laboratory technology stu­dents
and Dr. Coker's pharmacy
students for their part in the drive.
In closing, I would like to assure the
student body that the drive would not
have been possible without the help
of each individual student, and that I
appreciate the willingness to work and
to donate blood of each student who
assisted in the drive. Thank you for
your support.

middle class is growing. Not only can"
more people afford higher education,
but there is a greater interest in our
"quality of life" and a greater desire
on the part of young people to go on
to college and be an integral part of
this growth.
Mr. Stone may not realize "this, but
the percentage of Alabama high
school graduates who go on to college
is far below the national average right
now. If we are to improve this
situation and give Alabama a higher
percentage of better educated young
men and women, Auburn and other
institutions in Alabama and across the
south must grow, and make room for
the people who want and deserve this
education.
Not only do we have Alabama's
citizens to consider, for Auburn has
gained a nationwide reputation and a
great deal of prestige in the process.
Right now graduate, transfer, and out
of state enrollment is increasing at a
faster rate than undergraduate enroll­ment.
People across the country much
admire Auburn for her engineers,
veterinarians, pharmacists, business
graduates and on and on. These
people who are attracted to Auburn
are in turn attracted to the south in
general. Many like it and stay. They
bring new ideas, new business, new
vitality.
Contrary to Mr. Stone's opinion,
growth does not inhibit the quality of
education. If that were so, then we'd
be better off with only Samford Hall
and 60 or 70 students. What limits
quality in education is limited funds.
Just this quarter I was researching an
article ana more than one University
i official explained Auburn's situation
in the following manner.
The University gets most of its
money from the state Legislature.
However, the Legislature has only a
limited source of revenue and is trying
to supply unlimited demands for the
entire state, encompassing everything
from highway construction to law
enforcement. Under this situation,
only critical demands are met with
first, the very critical.
Quite frankly, if Auburn's enroll­ment
stopped growing, or worse yet,
decreased, it would be quite awhile
till the Legislature saw that Auburn
badly needed a new engineering
building, or perhaps more office and
faculty space for the School of
Agriculture and the School of Home
Economics. Maybe they would feel we
didn't really need a new School of
Nursing, or a new physical plant
location.
Even now, the School of Architec­ture
and Fine Arts, the Vet School,
the School of Pharmacy and some
curricula in other schools limit enroll­ment
for lack of space, yet are
extremely grateful for the new build­ings
and space they have been
provided, because it would be unrea­sonable
to expect any thing more
from the Legislature. Contrary to Mr.
Stone's opinion, the heads of many of
the schools don't worry about quality
of education. After all, it's establish­ed
that Auburn is one of the best
academically. What they worry about
is all the young people who will be
turned away once the school hasn't
any more room, and whether or not
their faculty will have adequate
research facilities. Consequently,
schools tend to take whatever space
they can get and are grateful for it.
This year a national trend has
begun. There is now a rapidly rising
enrollment in the elementary schools.
By 1995 those children will be college
age. There will be a very large increase
in college enrollment. Perhaps my
children and yours will not be far
behind. I want all those children to
have the opportunity to have a higher
education, even if Auburn's enroll­ment
reaches 40,000 (which is highly
doubtful). No one should be denied
entrance because someone thought
that limiting enrollment would in­crease
the quality of education in an
institution which is already one of the
best in the country.

of rented rooms. Sound familiar?
What about the landlord? He could
maintain his building—if he was
willing to accept less to no return on
his investment or to raise the rent and
risk seeking new tenants, or if
downtown business improved and
income increased.
The latter option is the opportunity
present in the new mall. And as you
point out, Bob, a "simple, functional
building'' would do the job, if it were
truly functional on all of the many
levels involved in a mini-mall, multi-use
structure which will dominate one
of the most important blocks and
corners of downtown Auburn. These
levels include the aesthetic, about
which has already been written, the
Eragmatic, and the symbolic. But,
ow pragmatically functional is it:
—to provide 45 parking slots for 45
apartments when the building code
requires at least 60 slots
—to provide those 45 slots on
rented land which may easily become
too valuable to rent for parking if the
mall succeeds
—to count on all of those slots
being vacated daily by the tenants
during business hours so that cus­tomers
can use them, and their renters
cannot
—to provide access to the private
apartments through the shopper's
public elevator
—to service three floors of shops
and offices, 45 apartments, and a top
floor restaurant through one 10 foot
loading zone when the code calls for
three 15-fect loading zones.
How symbolically functional is it:
—to have a sixth floor restaurant in
Auburn's downtown (What will you
see, aging air conditioning units and
roof drains on the two-story buildings
below. Did anybody even bother to
check?)
—to build the biggest, most
dominate structure in downtown
Auburn out of context, paying little
attention to Auburn's vernacular
architecture and self definition
—to build a structure so out of scale
with the rest of the downtown that
nothing relates to it, not even the
church steeples?
Enough about Magnolia Plaza,
after all, it was only half of the article.
The other half snidely asked where
were the architecture students when
Dudley Hall was being designed.
Well, where were you, Bob?
You left architecture in the fall of
'76 and you said you had studied AR
for a ' 'few years'' which would place
you here as an architecture student by
at least '74 when the design was in
process. Where were you in '75 when
the design was completed, or '76 and
'77 when the budding was being
built? Probably, like the rest of us in
architecture at that time, you were
just starting to learn what the
building environment was all about
and very uninfluential within the
school.
The architecture students who took
an interest in the future of Auburn's
downtown cannot be responsible for
those who went before them- How­ever,
they can be responsible for
today. That is why so many of them
attended the public meetings con­cerning
Magnolia Plaza. So, let me
ask where were you when Auburn's
future was being debated, Bob, BSC,
Auburn, reader?
In the future when people seek to
responsibly guard their downtown's
character or guide changes within it so
that new buildings will be truly
functional on all levels, please, join
them. Share their concern. Care. Bob,
please pardon me for singling you
out; you just happened to be the
straw.

How to succeed with an English degree from Auburn University
As a senior majoring in English, I
have heard the following question at
least a hundred times: "Wh^ the
hell are you going to do with ah
English degree?" Well, to be honest,
I plan to put my degree on the
bottom of my bird cage where it will
serve a practical function.
But seriously, my questioners are
implying that an English degree is
worthless. It is their opinion that,
though it may be nice to study
language and literature, there are no
job prospects, no money in it. Because
after all, that is the reason we're all
here at college isn't it? We want to
learn a trade, get a job and make the
big money. And the prevailing
assumption is that English and other
art degrees don't afford this op­portunity.
Well, I want to lay that
assumption to rest. I didn't major in
English just to learn the difference
between Restoration and Romantic
literature or to recognize a split
infinitive when I see one. No, I
represent the new breed of English
major: cold, tough and pragmatic.
I'm in English because it's the major
that offers me the greatest chance at
making money.
Sure, I could have chosen engineer­ing
or business or something safe like
that. But what opportunity does it
afford? Most graduates in these
curriculums will immediately go to
work for a company or institution
where they are likely to stay for the
rest of their lives working at boring
jobs that offer small, gratuitous raises
every so often. Beside lowering one's
self-esteem and being a complete
drag, these jobs offer no chance at
guest

attaining the really big bucks and the
independence that goes with it.
Working for a corporation or an
institution is no better than being a
slave. The entrepreneurs who are
grabbing all the loot are only too
happy to see everybody else plodding
along at boring, unimaginative jobs.
They (the entrepreneurs) have learned
"the wisdom of the ages:" creativity
plus gall equals money.
English, on the other hand, teaches
one to couple imagination with free
enterprise. In my courses I have read
some of the world's great literature.
This background has exposed me to
many ingenious scams. For instance,
after reading Joseph Conrad, I know
all about smuggling and black-market
enterprise. By reading about the life of.
French poet, Arthur Rimbaud, I know
about the money that can be made
gun running, and with the world
political situation the way it is today,
this is a particularly lucrative field. I
could go on and on with other
examples, but the point is my literary
background is not merely fatuous, it
uas a practical basis. As I stated,
imaginative free enterprise is the key,
and isn't that what it's all about?
Actually, the area of most promise
for an English major is in the
entertainment industry or "turkey
farming" as it is popularly called in
New York and Los Angeles. Anyone
with a background in English should
be able to write a screenplay for a
movie that the public will gladly plop
down a few bucks to escape its
drudgery for a few hours. Or better
yet, there are all these new hip
magazines that crank out important,
"aware" articles. And there is always
novel writing. A keen ear for the
Eublic mood is the main requirement
eyond the possession of the basic
rudiments of writing. Again, English
fits the bill. Any type of creative
writing or phrasing field is wide open
these days.
An English degree is representative
of what a college education is all
about. It combines a background in
our cultural heritage with the knowl­edge
it takes to succeed in the
competitive, dog-eat-dog world
today. I hope I have disspelled any
myths there might be about the
English curriculum not preparing
students to face economic reality. Au
contraire, it prepares one only too well
with these ' facts" of life. I have no
regrets about my choice of majors.
English. It's worth it.
Indiaca invades Auburn
By Johnny Haslam
Sports Editor
If you go by the Student
Act Building on Monday
night you might see some
people running around
chasing something
looking like an unidenti­fied
flying object with
feathers on it. Imagine
what the UFO's must
have looked like in the
days when the Creek or
Apache Indians ruled the
land—a low flying cone-shaped
object with giant
feathers on top at the
point of the cone.
The object the people
are chasing isn't an Ind­ian
UFO, but It is a
Indiaca ball. It goes with
the Indiaca game, and
Indiaca is the new game
being incorporated into
the Co-Recreational In-tramurals
by Dr. Sheldon
Daniels of the Auburn
P.E. Department and
Claude Saia and Susan
Nunnelley of Auburn In-tramurals.
Indiaca game originat­ed
in Germany as a pas­sive,
back-yard type
leisure game. Daniels
and the Intramural De­partment
are trying to
develop the sport, which
is similar to badmitten
and volleyball, Into a
competitive and active
sport for the Auburn
faculty and students.
The game is played
with the ball, which is like
a large shuttle-cock that
is hit with either hand
back and fourth over a
net. Singles may be
played or team games,
according to preference
and availability of
players.
The rules differ with
each game, and Daniels,
with some help from co-rec
volleyball players
and P.E. graduate stu­dents,
Is still formulating
rules for each game.
"The German game
has virtually no set
rules," Daniels said. "We
are trying to put in a
scoring system to make
the game more competi­tive."
The game is relatively
easy to learn according to
Daniels and it's good for
players with lesser skills
to play instead of volley­ball
or other faster
games.
Intramurals Director
Claude Saia thinks the
game will catch on fast at
Auburn. "I'm very proud
to add this game to our
co-rec and faculty
leagues and I feel it will
go over real big with
students."
Both Nunnelley and
Saia believe the game
can be made adaptable to
the ladys' Intramural
leagues also.
Larry Wakefield, AU
graduate student and fre­quent
player of the game,
believes the girls will like
the passive, underhanded
hitting aspects of the
game, but he said it can
still be competitive by
using a lower net.
Daniels plays the sport
regularly and he said it is
good exercise and the
singles games can be
exerting as well as com­petitive.
Daniels said the game
would be beneficial to
developing muscle co­ordination
and physical
dexterity in junior high
school students. "It is a
good hand-eye coordina­tion
developer," he said.
Trying to develop the
spreading of the game,
Daniels has written arti-

^ A7 Thursday, August io, 1978 The Auburn Plainsman
By Danielle Murphy
Assistant Sports Editor
Will you write a column for me about being a woman
sports writer?
That was exactly what the summer sports editor
asked me. He didn't ask, will you write a column for
me about trying to be a woman sports writer. After
three and a half months of interviewing and writing
about people in sports, I don't know everything there
is to know, but at least my peers and the athletic
department are taking me seriously. Now, it's clear
that this isn't just a fly by night sort of thing.
How I got into writing sports was just a fluke. I had
one interview with the former assistant baseball
coach Dennis Womack on bat girls, but I don't equate
that story as my first delve into sports. It did get my
foot in the door and as the result I was able to get some
scoops that none of the other male sports writers could
get.
What I consider to be my first real sports interview
occured spring quarter when the Glomeratas were
being distributed. I steeped out The Plainsman door
on Wednesday afternoon to pick up my roommate's
Glom. Her name just happened to start with a P. Right
before my very eyes, low and behold, was Stan
Pietkiewicz. He was as big as life or maybe even
bigger.
A friend of mine, Sports Editor Johnny Haslam, had
been trying to get an interview with him all week. I
asked Stan if he could come into the office for a short
interview. Wouldn't you know, that when I walked
back into the office to tell Haslam to get his questions
ready, that he was out to lunch.
I ended up doing the interview. I don't know if he
knew I didn't know what I was doing or not.
The only thing that was changed or deleted were
three adjectives I used to describe him: good looking,
green eyed, blond. It was the truth, but Haslam
doesn't like me to put stuff like that in my stories. He
keeps telling me that I can't write like a man or like a
woman. "Be neuter," he says.
I thought Coach Womack thought I was just a "silly
girl'' because of that bat girl story. I had been going to
all the NCAA Regional baseball tournament games
and had learned how to keep a stat card. The last night
of the tournament, when Memphis lost to North
Carolina State, I was there with my pen and stat card.
(Of course Haslam and another sports writer and good
friend, David Housel, were coaching, just a little,
because I hadn't acquired any speed yet.)
Womack took my card and more or less quizzed me
on some of the plays. I passed the test and probably
changed his first impression of me. As it turned out,
Womack was usually the one I could go and shoot the
bull with or ask to explain things that I didn't
understand without appearing stupid. I have only one
regret when it comes to Womack. He has moved to
Virginia in order for his wife to go to law school. He
was a country-music lover like me and it's hard to find
someone that will admit liking Barbara Mandrell,
Helen Cornelis and Jim Ed Brown, Crystal Gayle,
Larry Gatlin and the like. Womack isn't an ordinary
kind of man, he's different, in the good sort of way. To
quote a phrase, "He's a good one."
In the beginning, none of the sports writers seemed
to care one way or the other that I was getting into
what I've come to know as scared ground to them.
Then it happened! I started getting scoops and they
just couldn't understand it. They had been cultivating
their sources for months and some for years even, and
here I was with just a week of sports writing under my
belt.
I heard and was told all sorts of things that other _
sports, writers were saying. I had people that wanted
me to tell them who I had been talking to and what
they were telling me. At times I felt like I was being
interrogated by the Gestapo. I've learned fast that it's
a man's world and if you are aggressive and at least
outwardly in control that you are going to be the
winner of "the most popular" or "most liked" award.
I remember one night, my birthday as a matter of
fact, I felt like I was in limbo. I knew that after Miller
time was over that I had to talk to someone. If it were 9
o'clock and you were in any other curriculum but
journalism, you'd just have to wait until the morning
to talk to a professor. I couldn't wait so I drove over to
the Fiji House to talk to The Plainsman Advisor David
Housel.
David was on his way to Torbett's with a crowd of
people, but he stayed and talked to me. David has a
unique way of expressing himself. He never really told
me what to do. He just said some things that made a
lot of sense and everything seemed to fall into place
after that.
Who's going to be the new basketball coach? It was
like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Everyone
had their own ideas and sources. I had mine and I
was doing what everyone else was doing. It helps if
your sister works for WSM in Nashville, Term, and if
the new coach just happens to be from East Tennessee
State in Johnson City, Term. She didn't know who the
new coach was going to be, but I got some names from
her. I made a few calls and did a little bit of digging
and got lucky.
I had talked to Sonny Smith on the phone Sunday.
Monday night I called and told him that he was going
to be the new coach. He was completely surprised. I
must have talked to everyone at East Tennessee State
about Smith. Players, coaches, directors, trainers,
you name them and I probably called them.
Then Phil Snow of WSFA-TV came out with the story
on his Monday night news cast, but the committee that
was picking the new coach wasn't meeting til
Tuesday. He had his own sources just like everyone
else. We came close to breaking the story the week
before. We all knew Sonny Smith was going to be the
new coach, but no one would go on the record. Those
are the breaks in this business. If you aren't first then
it's "old hat."
I was late to Smith's press conference Friday
morning. It was the first press conference I had been
to. I walked in the door and Smith was just finishing
up. First, all the photographers were shooting Smith.
(That's photography lingo for photographing). Then
the TV stations had to get personal interviews for their
stations. I didn't think I was going to get to meet this
man that sounded so wonderful on the phone and
turned out to look pretty good, too.
Then Mel Pulliam, assistant sports information
director whom I had never met, but I knew who he
was, introduced me to Smith in the middle of all the
TV tapings. I must have turned 50 shades of red. All
the press men were looking and probably wondering
who in the "hell' this chick was.
Herbie Green, the assistant basketball coach, came
up to me right after that and introduced himself. He
told that the first thing Smith asked when he got off the
plane was: "Who is Danielle Murphy?" That made
my day and Fourth of July Weekend.
I've only interviewed Smith once since then, but it
turned out just like I thought it would. He wanted to
know how I knew he was the new coach before
everyone. I couldn't tell him, but he understood.
To top things off Smith loves country-music. He
even listens to my sister's station in Nashville. He fits
right in the Auburn atmosphere and with all the people
down at the athletic department. People associated
with athletics are often stereotyped as cocky. But that
isn't how it is down there.
All the money I've spent buying the Post Hearld, the
Birmingham News, the Auburn Bulletin and the
Opelika-Auburn News and time I've spent reading and
clipping out sports stories that were good or that I
didn't understand has payed off. Sports was greek to
me three months ago, but its becoming second nature
to me now.
Fall quarter I will be doing my journalism
internship with the Auburn Bulletin. I've never
covered football, but I'm looking foward to giving it a
try. Before, it seemed I had an advantage over the
men, why I'm not quite sure, but now the shoe is on the
other foot. I guess I'll just have to use some ingenuity
to get some of the much talked about locker room
interviews.
Out in
Left Field
By Johnny Haslam
Sports Editor
Well so long. I'm stepping down, or up, depending on
how you look at it. For all the students who never read
anything except The Plainsman, I'll see you in that
great sports writing Hall of Fame in the sky. For those
who just happen to read a local paper that is published
twice a week, you'll be forced to read me for another
year. I'm taking a new job.
I've enjoyed my short stay at The Plainsman. It has
been exciting. It has been dull. But it has been a
learning experience for me and a chance for me to
meet some fantastic people. „ ... ., ..
Just day before yesterday, I had one of the best
times of my life as I played golf in the Southern Press
Open at Green Island Country Club in Columbus, Ga.
For a country boy like me, the superbly kept sight
for the Profession Southern Open was nearly too
much to comprehend. The pro-styled course ate up my
game and a lot of golf balls. It was beautiful, like a
work of art or a sculpture carved in the landscape.
The people were gracious and treated us media boys
like kings.
Of course, when you find yourself in the company of
the likes of Paul Cox and Perry Ballard (winner of the
golf tournament with a 65) of the Opelika-Auburn
News, and my good friends and colleagues David
Housel and Pat O'Conner, you can't help but have a
good time.
Along with the champ Ballard, Cox and myself won
dubious prizes for our fine play. Cox won a "Hacker's
Delight'' golf game for hitting a five-inch drive on the
fifth hole, and I won a bank for being the best grass
cutter in the tournament. Tournament Publicity
Director Phil Tomlinson said I hit more balls out of
the rough and in the process clipped more grass than
anyone.
The way I was playing or the way the course was
playing me, I was out of the money by the tenth hole.
The game turned into fun for me on the eleventh hole
as I hit two balls off the tee and across a road out of
bounds. My playing partners, O'Conner, and Jeff and
Jay Blankenship of Columbus got a good laugh when
my first ball nearly took the head off a boy riding his
bicycle down the road. I was about to yell, when I

noticed a jeep coming up the road in front of the boy on
the bicycle. The ball missed the jeep by about two feet.
After the laugh was over and I had hit another ball
across the road and one close to the green, the boy that
I almost hit found one of my balls, but he wouldn't give
it back to me unless I would give him a coke. I kept the
coke.
Getting to meet people is the name of the game. I am
grateful to all the people at the Athletic Department
who put up with me nosing around asking questions.
Guys like Herb Waldrop, Buddy Davidson, Sonny
Dragoin, Kenny Howard, Lee Hayley and Sonny Smith
make trips over there worth the effort.
The Intramural Dept. has been a big help to me this
summer. Coach Claude Saia is one of the classier guys
on this campus and his assistant, Susan Nunnelley is a
great lady too.
I'm glad I had a lot of good Softball to watch this
summer. One of the best catchers in the intramural
league has to be "Bunting" Butch Thomas. Butch is
the kind of guy who'll lay down a bunt his first time up
and then hit a grand slam his second time up. He
always keeps them guessing.
Another fine player I saw this summer is John
"Johnny Wad" Blackmon. With his speed, Blackmon
is one of the better defensive centerfielders in the
league.
I haven't gotten a letter this whole summer from
any student or faculty member. This means that
either everyone has been pleased with the sports page,
or that no one ever reads the thing. I hope it is the first
reason.
Knowing what to do helps out too.
I'm glad that guys like Jack Simms, Mickey Logue,
Paul Burnett, Gillis Morgan, Cain Campbell and Big
Dave Housel taught me how to do a job like this. After
being under their combined instruction, I feel like I
could Improve the New York Times.
Of course I can't end a career as sports editor
without thanking some of my biggest fans. And yes, I
do have some fans. Besides my family, there are a few
crazy folks out there who read some of my stuff. Paul
Jones and Kenny Bradford, two of my friends in
Sylacauga, Ala. never miss reading The Plainsman.
They always want to know what is happening down
here and they can always give a hundred ideas as to
what I need to cover.
Another guy that has helped me with my column and
has been a good golfing buddy this summer is Johnny
Caldwell. "Cogs," as we call him, thanks for all those
beers at Indian Pines.
But the guy that gave me the chance to take this job
this summer was Chuck Anshutz. When he decided to
be the editor it left the door in sports open for me.
He'll be the sports editor this fall. Take her away

McCarthy takes coaching post
by Danielle Murphy
Assistant Sports Editor
There is another desk, another chair, a new name
plate on the door and a new basketball coach to go
along with all this.
Mack McCarthy, formerly an assistant under
Auburn Head Basketball Coach Sonny Smith at East
Tennessee State University, is the newest and last
edition to the Auburn Basketball coaching staff.
McCarthy will be employed as a part-time assistant.
According to NCAA Rules each basketball program
may have two assistant coaches and one part-time
assistant.
McCarthy, 26, from Woodstock, Va., attended
Virginia Tech and graduated with a bachelors degree
in Health, Physical Education and Recreation in 1974.
He also received a master's degree from Virginia
Tech. After coaching two seasons there, McCarthy
accepted a job offer from Smith when he became head
coach at East Tennessee State in 1976.
McCarthy's new position may be a step up, but
because of another NCAA Rule he will be receiving the
same salary that a graduate assistant receives. He
wouldn't say how much that was. "I have to receive a
set salary because of the ruling," McCarthy said. "I'll
be employed elsewhere on campus. I'm not exactly
sure where that will be yet. I could end up In
admissions or someplace like that.
McCarthy said he had hoped he would be asked to
join the Auburn basketball program. "I had a pretty
good idea that I could go or stay on up here,"
McCarthy said.
McCarthy didn't officially joined the staff until Aug.
1. "Sonny and I had talked a long time about it,"
McCarthy said. "By mid-July I knew I'd be down, but

I had to finish up here first. I had some prior
commitments at East Tennessee State that took a
couple of weeks."
Smith is glad that the hiring is over, at least for now.
"Mack had been with me in other coaching situa­tions,"
Smith said. "He does a top-notched job. That's
why I offered him this p osition. His type of
enthusiasm rubs off on everybody he meets, and I
think he'll complement the staff well.
"Now that he has accepted the job here in Auburn,
we'll be able to complete the organizational phase of
the program and be ready to go full speed ahead from
now on," Smith said.
McCarthy has already gotten into the swing of
things down at the basketball office. This week he
attended a basketball camp in Georgia, along with
assistants Herbie Green and Herman Williams an
Smith.
Smith has divided up the job responsibilities of his
assistants. "I'll be in charge of scouting our opponents
and recruiting outside the state," McCarthy said.
"Such as in Atlanta, the East Coast and the Mid West.
We are watching the kids and evaluating everyone
now so that during the season we won't have to spend
time going to games."
McCarthy feels his. move to Auburn is a step up,
even though his job is only part-time. "I'm definitely
excited about it," he said. "It's a great opportunity for
me. When you coach you want to coach against the
very best and this is where it's a t ."

Captured Live
Holcombe plays 60's tunes
By Rebecca Jones
Plainsman Staff Writer
The spirit of the 60's
comes alive this Thurs­day
night as WEGL and
"Captured Live" present
Randy Holcombe in con­cert.
Holcombe is a multi-talented
artist, playing
12-string guitar for the
fun of it, playing violin
with the Univesity or­chestra
and still finding
time to be a part of the
Auburn University Eco­nomics
faculty.
Holcombe began play­ing
guitar in the 60's. In
fact, he claims to have
put himself through col­lege
by playing for small
clubs and fraternity par­ties.
When questioned
about his musical reper­toire,
Holcombe said, "I
play old songs...60's-type
music, like the Beatles
and Bob Dylan. I just
never got around to learn­ing
anything newer. I do
write some of my own
music, but I don't play it
for people."
He remembers that in
the 60's, he and his
friends liked to interact
with their audiences.
"We'd jump around and
get everybody involved.
Today, most musicians
just stand around and
play." He also recalls
wearing pajamas while
playing at some of the
fraternity parties, just to
blend in. Holcombe
denied rumors that he
will wear pajamas for the
"Captured Live" concert,
but said that he would
consider it if the audience
would wear them too.
The "Captured Live"
staff believes that Thurs­day's
concert will be un­usually
entertaining, and
urges everyone to attend.
The Aug. 17 concert will
feature Bosch, with Jabo
Daniel. Bosch, a Mont­gomery
based band, has
become increasingly pop­ular
with local progres­sive
rock fans. This will
be the first concert the
band has done in the area
for some time.
Influenced by such art­ists
as Jethro Tull, King
Crimson and Genesis,
Bosch performs mostly
original music. For
added interest, the group
makes use of several un­usual
instruments includ­ing
two synthesizers and
a mellatron.

THAT'S THE BREAKS
. John Kelsey packs his chute, but can't jump
Auburn skydivers jump from more than two miles high
By Pat O'Connor
Entertainment Editor
Ten thousand feet is a
long way, especially
when you are looking
down, say from an air­plane.
And things look very
small from that height.
Towns look like conglom­erations
of tiny pebbles
and roads look like little
ribbons running through
the green spaces where
trees are.
But there is a group of
adventuresome young
men and women at Au-who
like to look down
from that distance and
even step from their safe
berth upon a plane to
dive for the wide earth
with the tiny landmarks
below.
The Auburn Sport Par­achute
Club, with about
45 active members
during the regular school
year, has about 20
members who regularly
leap from 8,000 to 13,000
feet with the aid of high
performance parachutes.
Dirk Gordon is one of
the height men. He is also
president of the club and
an aerospace engineering
major at Auburn. "I'm
sort of at home up there.''
Dirk has made 88
jumps. Just last weekend
at the Callaway Airport
in LaGrange, Ga., he had
to cut away from his
main chute and use his
reserve to make it to the
ground safely.
Jumping with one of the
modern high-perfor­mance
chutes, a para-commander,
he had a
good opening, but the
canopy went into a spin
and Dirk decided to cut
away. "I could have
ridden it down, but I
would have risked a
broken bone, so I got rid
of it." His reserve
worked. Reserves always
work, according to exper­ienced
jumpers. If they
did not believe that they
would not be jumping.
Another of the height
men is John Kelsey, vice-president
of the club and
an army vet. Kelsey has a
lot of jumps, around 250,
but he is not making any
right now. His right leg is
in a cast.
Kelsey got his broken
leg in an embarrassing
way. He was giving a
skydiving demonstration
at Ft. Toulouse, just
north of Montgomery,
when he landed on some
rough terrain and failed
to make a proper para­chute
landing fall, which
takes the brunt of the
jumper's weight off his
leg bones.
"It's a bad thing to do
in a demonstration,"
Kelsey said.
Kelsey and Gordon
along with other Auburn
skydivers like Robert
Butler and Wesley Wingo
get their kicks by diving
from a large airplane
called a sky van.
About 25 people can
jump from one of them at
once, and once in the air
the jumpers do whay they
call "relative" work,
joining together to make
stars, wedges and circles.
Only experienced
jumpers do relative
work.
"The sky van is like a
big UPS truck in the air,"
said Kelsy. Kelsey did not
get to jump at last week­end's
skyvan boogie in La
Grange. His broken leg
kept him on the ground.
The excuse most of the
divers give for getting
into the sport is "I always
wanted to do it." Once in,
most of them get "the
fever" and end up
spending anywhere from
$500 to $1,000 or more on
high performance equip­ment.
The club even has its
own photographer, John
Bodiford, a daring young
man who attaches a
Super-8 movie camera to
his helmet prior to a
jump. His films are often
the center of one of the
club's parties following a
day of jumping. The
filmed view of an air­plane
jump that Bodi-ford's
films show gives a
good idea of the picture
one gets while falling.
It is quite a rigorous
hobby. To be a successful
skydiver you must keep
your mind on what you
are doing and have con-,
trol of your body.
Jumpers who have made
several hundred jumps
continously remind them­selves
of emergency pro­cedures
they learned
before their first jump.
The record shows that
most skydivers are suc­cessful.
The reason is
good: training is tough.
And unsuccessful sky-divers
have a lot to lose.

Classics featured
By Joanne Peterson
Plainsman staff writer
This week the UPC will
show a double feature
with two timeless comedy
movies, THE GOLD
RUSH and MONKEY
BUSINESS. The films
will be shown Friday
through Sunday at 8 p.m.
at Langdon Hall.
The 1925 movie, THE
GOLD RUSH provides a
view of Charlie Chaplin at
his best, and is consi­dered
by most to be his
finest effort. THE GOLD
RUSH is a story of the
Alaska gold rush and how
the lust for gold perverts
both love and friendship.
It develops around love
and greed, comedy and
tragedy. The brightest
moments in the film are
Cbttips
MIDWAY
PLAZA
Chaplin's classic "Dance
of the Dinner Rolls" and
the well-known scene in
which, in the beautiful
Chaplin tradition, he
makes a gourment meal
out of a boot.
MONKEY BUSINESS,
a 1931 Marx Brothers
film, is one of five that
included Harpo, Groucho,
Chico and Zeppo Marx. A
typical Marx Brothers
movie, full of both visual
and verbal insanities, it
includes the well-known
' 'Maurice Chevalier pass­port"
scene.
Both films are classics
in their own unique way,
and should not be missed
by any film lover.

SLEEPER CATCHER
Little River Band
The Little River Band's
latest album, SLEEPER
CATCHER, picks up
right where their previ­ous
album, DIAMAN-TTNA
COCKTAIL left off.
It's just the right com­bination
of rock, jazz and
instrumental music. The
Australian band demon­strates
its ability to com­bine
the right music with
appropriate lyrics and
good background vocals
to support the lead
singer.
The lyrics are easily
followed and the rhythm
of almost every song is
constant and flowing.
Glenn Shorrock is the
lead vocalist and has a
versatile voice quality.
He can sing soft calm
songs or more intense
rock 'n' roll type songs.
"Red Headed Wild
Flower" has received the
most air play of any cut
on the album. It's the
most jazzy cut on the
album and has a definite
beat and good rhythm
and harmony. The guitar
and drum beats are well
coordinated and mesh
together well, especially
at the end of the song. The
lead vocals are sung with
excitement and energy
yet the sound is not ir­ritating.
One of the best cuts on
the album that has re­cently
started to receive
some air play is "Light of
Day." It's a smooth
soothing tune with a re­laxing
almost sleep-in­ducing
-quality.- ;- The
lipcals are flowing and
easy and the percussion
and background vocals
add to make this one of
the group's best efforts.
The instrumental music
has a steady definite
beat. The flute used at the
end of the cut makes it
original. The orchestra­tion
of the instruments is
what really makes this
cut pleasant and demon­strates
the talents of all
the group memebers.
"Sanity's Side" com­bines
a steady beat with a
calm almost tranquiliz-ing
lead vocal and defi­nite
and relaxing piano
performance together
with acoustic and electirc
guitars. It has a haunting
quality that relaxes yet
stirs your memory. The
steady drum beat and
echoing quality of the
background vocals make
it easy listening and add
rhythm.
The horns and steady
drum beat on "So Many
Paths" make it an upbeat
peppy tune. The album
combines the talents of
all six members of the
band. It's not entirely
jazz or rock 'n' roll but an
excellent mixture of each
with well-arranged in-strumentals
that com­plete
each cut.
Some of the cuts such
as "One For the Road"
would be hard to dance to
but provide interesting
and enjoyable listening.
Overall, SLEEPER
CATCHER would be a
good addition to anyone's
record collection. The
Little River Band has a
fresh new sound that is
lacking in many of
today's popular groups. If
you liked their hit
"Happy Anniversary"
you're sure to enjoy the
sound of SLEEPER
CATCHER.
As explained on the
lyric sheet included in the
album, two-up is a form
of gambling which,
though illegal, has been a
favorite pastime in Aus­tralia.
The SLEEPER
CATCHER, an accepted
participant in the game,
collects beta left on the
floor by any tardy
backers. So explains the
unusual title of an excep­tional
album.

Pyramids have pre­viously
been associated
with Alan Parsons and
his cohort and executive
producer Eric Woolfson.
Parsons used his inven­tive
engineering on Pink
Floyd and Ambrosia al­bums
which had pictures
of pyramids on the
covers.
Woolfson says he is
interested in the fascinat­ing
and various aspects of
pyramids.
Together they have
produced and engineered
an album of considerable
musical invention and
power, PYRAMID.
Under the title The Alan
Parsons Project, they
build on the pyramid
theme with an album that
supposedly looks through
the eyes of today into
man's past.
The Project's last ac­complishment,
"I Ro­bot,"
was their look at
today through the eyes of
the future. Parsons
claims he has enough
material to fill 25 albums
and plans to continue
working on albums with
central themes like
PYRAMID. And he will
probably be successful.
Parsons has chosen
several vocalists for this
album: Colin Blunstone,
Dean Ford, David Paton,
Lenny Zakatek, Jack
Harris and John Miles.
He also has procured the
use of a choir, an orches­tra
and orchestra direc­tor
Andrew Powell. The
.orchestral sounds give
the music a flow remin­iscent
of some of Pink
Floyd's work.
The album was record­ed
in London's Abbey
Road studios, the same
place Parsons helped en­gineer
the Beatles's rec­ord
of the same title. It is
an appropriate location,
since Parsons began his
' career there.
PYRAMID is a total
experience, and most of
the cuts flow together
with no interlude. There
are individual bright
spots, however, such as
"What Goes Up...," on
which Ian Bairnson does
a bit of outstanding work
on the electric guitar.
Parsons' and Woolfson's,
lyrics are compelling
throughout the album.
This is no rock 'n' roll
album, though it will
probably be given that
classification by the radio
and disco set. It is a solid
English musical produc­tion
of magnitude, some­what
like Moody Blues or
Pink Floyd productions.
(Not that they sound alike
or say the same thing, but
they have the same
effect.)
Step two of Parsons'
project has been complet­ed,
and it is successful.
What has been called
"cinematic Tock" has
proven to be a valid ex­pression
of the medium.
With this album being
used as the basis for the
next step, it will be inter­esting
to see what Par­sons
will come up with.

HERMIT OF MINK
HOLLOW
Todd Rundgren
Todd Rundgren has
ended several years of
self-imposed exile as part
of Utopia with an album
that turns time back to
the era of "Something-
Anything."
This new album,
HERMIT OF MINK
HOLLOW, presents
Rundgren in the purest
form—as a solo artist.
Rundgren not only wrote
all the songs, but pro­duced
and arranged the
album, played all the in­struments
and did all the
vocal work (including
back-up vocals. Who else
could hit those high
notes?)
The 12 songs Included
on HERMIT OF MINK
HOLLOW are some of the
best to emerge from the
pop craft for a long time.
The album is divided into
"The Easy Side," which
includes a couple of con­ventional
love songs for
those of us who still get
misty-eyed over "I Saw
The Light" and "Hello
It's Me," and "The Diffi­cult
Side," where Rund­gren
gets a chance to live
up to his reputation as a
philosopher.
"Can We Still Be
Friends," "Hurting For
You" and "Fade Away"
are melodic and catchy,
and are helping the al­bum
to rise on the music
charts. "Bread" is a pro­test
song, and "Bag
Lady" is a chilling state­ment
about the neglected
and unwanted old people
of our country. It's not a
pleasant song, but it
demands attention and
serious thought.
HERMIT OF MINK
HOLLOW returns Todd
Rundgren to the people
who really love his music.
The "strange-music"
freaks will have to wait
for the next Utopia offer­ing.

It's summertime and the living is in the fall on Thursday, Sept. 21. And
easy, especially when it's on a long when they return, they'll have the
walk with a friend. Auburn students opportunity to make many more
will soon be saying good-bye to such friends, because registrars expect a
good friends until school begins again record enrollment of above 18,000.
The renovation of Har­gis
Hall—known formerly
as the Music Building—is
now under way, accor­ding
to Thomas E. Till­man,
assistant campus
architect who is coordi­nating
the project.
Low bidder for the ren­ovation
work is the Au­burn-
based construction
firm of Giddens & Huff,
which submitted a
$501,699 bid, Tillman
said.
Site preparation began
with the construction of a
fence and storage area at
the rear of the building,
and removal of adjacent
plant material.
The integrity of the
building's shell will be
retained, as the building
is included in the Nation­al
Register of Historic
Places, Tillman said. The
masonry will, however,
be repointed and some of
the brickwork repaired.
In addition, the build­ing's
windows will be re­placed
by white alumi­num
ones similar to those
installed recently in Sam-ford
Hall.
In order to keep the
building's tall, rounded
windows, high ceilings
will be retained.
"The outside appear­ance
of the building will
not change much, but it's
not going to be a restora­tion
in the true sense, but
rather an adaptive re­use

located at the Samford
Avenue Middle School.
University faculty and
staff members who plan
to be out of town the day
of the Sept. 5 primaries
may vote by absentee
ballot.
The procedure for vo­ting
an absentee ballot is
simple. A person must, or
course, be registered to
vote to use the absentee
ballot, which is obtained
by filling out an applica­tion
at the clerk of court's
office, also located on the
first floor of the court
house.
Persons may vote at
the clerks office as soon
as the application is filled
out, which will save the
trouble of having the
form notarized and
mailed.
Those who prefer may
take the form home.
After it is filled out, it
must be notarized or
signed in the presence of
an official authorized to
administer oath.
Since the ballot is used
for several districts, the
clerk of court will mark
out those candidates that
run in districts other than
the voter's home district.
The application for ab­sentee
ballot must be
picked up at least five
days before the election,
but does not need to be
turned in to the clerk's
office until the day of the
election.
Once an application has
been filled out to vote
absentee, a person cannot
vote at a local box for that
particular election, ac­cording
to Annette
Hardy, clerk of court and
circuit clerk.
The physically disabled
and handicapped may
also vote by absentee
ballot. Those persons
should have someone
pick up the application
form at the courthouse.

classrooms, the inside
will be remodeled into
office space.
"It's hard to say how
much work will be re­quired
inside," Tillman
pointed out. "The con­tractor
may pull up the
floorboards and find the
structure rotten—it's
hard to tell at this stage."
Included in the con­struction
plans will be
new heating, air condi­tioning
plans, plumbing
and wiring, including a
sprinkler and fire alarm
system wired directly to
the Auburn fire station.
In addition to meeting
modern fire code require­ments,
the renovated
building will also be in
compliance with HEW
barrier-free standards,
with the installation of a
chair-lift and elevator for
the handicapped, Tillman
said.
A key design element
in the restoration will be
a canted stairway in the
building's new foyer, Till­man
added. A conference
room on the first floor
will serve the offices to be
located in the building.
Making the move will
be the Graduate School,
which will occupy the
first floor, and the offices
of Cooperative Education
and the Water Research
Institute, which will use
the second floor.
This will free some
space in both Samford
and Martin Halls, where
those departments are
now located. Tillman said
construction is expected
to take approximately
eight months.
Before it was vacated,
the building was last used
for art and industrial de­sign
classes.
Built in 1888, the build­ing
originally housed the
chemistry and pharmacv
departments.
Following the completion
of Ross Hall it was used
by the department of mu­sic.
The building was re­named
for Dr. Estes Har­gis,
a 1917 graduate of
Auburn. Prior to his
death in 1966, Dr. Hargis
endowed professorships
in English with a gift of
$100,000.
Because of Mr. Hargis'
deep interest and devo­tion
to Auburn, Mrs. Har­gis
is contributing $100,000
to the renovation project.
