Most organizations
take cut in funds;
some receive none
By Thorn Botsford
Plainsman News Editor
Eleven out of 13 major campus organizations were allocated
less operating money this year than last year, and five campus
organizations requesting money for the first time were not.
allocated any funds by the Student Senate Tuesday night in a
to those activities directly bene­fitting
the greatest number of
students." Members of the com­mittee
expressed regret that more
money could not be allocated to
organizations.
The report said that although
the committee was "in sympathy
with the projects" of the Afro-
American Association and the
American Civil Liberties Union,
these organizations could work
through Auburn Union Activities
for l e c t u r e p r o j e c t s and the
newly-established Student Gov­ernment
Association legal ser­vices
program for legal aid.
Sports clubs were not funded
this year because they generally
"benefitted only a few." The
committee "decided it would be
best for sports clubs allocated
to recreational services to be
distributed by them in light of
committee recommendations."
Organizations receiving funds
were encouraged to cut funding
for social activities (teas and
banquets, etc.) and travel. No
new salary increases were re­commended,
and, in some cases,
organizations were encouraged
to use the "SGA mailout" for
postage instead of a l l o c a t ed
funds.

regular senate meeting.
Ken Farmer, chairman of the
Budget and Finance Committee,
said that the cuts in allocated
funds were due to an expected
decrease in revenue from Stu­dent
Activity Fees. Each year
the senate is responsible for al­locating
money collected from
the Student Activity Fee, an an­nual
assessment of $5.50 per
student.
The senate approved an allo­cation
plan recommended by the
Budget and Finance Committee
which distributed 8254,223.50to
13 o r g a n i z a t i o n s and left
$4906.71 for a r e s e r v e fund
which is established in case
next year's revenue is less than
expected. Last year, the senate
allocated $282,437 to organiza­tions
and left $10,000 in the re­serve
fund.
The allocations will not offi­cially
be approved until Pres..
Harry M. Philpott confirms them.
The Afro-American S o c i e t y,
Alpha Eta Rho Aviation Frater­nity,
the American Civil Liber­ties
Union, the Livestock Judg­ing
Team, the Rugby Club and
the Sport Parachute Team did not
receive requested money.

Senate approves
Tucker appointments
Student Government Association Pres. Jimmy Tucker pre­sented
nis recommended appointments to the 1971-72 SGA
executive cabinet and University committees in a meeting of
the Student Senate Tuesday. The senate approved the appoint­ments
unanimously.

Coeds stage sleep-out
to protest regulations
Auburn's second sleep-out
in protest of women's r u l e s -
364 days after the first a-bortive
attempt-was planned
last night as The Plainsman
went to press.
Impetus for the sleep-out came
Monday night after women's
liberation spokesman Gloria
Steinem and child day care
pioneer Dorothy Pitman spoke as
part of Horizons Symposium.
Approximately 90 students
moved to the Social Center from
Graves Amphitheatre after the
Delegates to discuss
financial aid cutbacks
In an effort to secure badly-needed funds for student finan­cial
assistance programs, Charles S. Roberts, director of
Student Financial Aid, hasfiown to Washington D.C., to meet
witn officials concerning the problem.
Roberts, heading a 12-man
delegation, will confer with the
Commissioner of Education and
with Alabama congressmen re­garding
the recent state-wide
cutback of federal funds for the
assistance programs. Roberts
and the other delegates were
chosen by the Alabama As­sociation
of Student Financial
Assistance Administrators to
represent the entire state in their
request for a larger appropria­tion.
Auburn has had to cancel for
the summer the Work Study Pro­gram,
by which students with
financial need are employed on
campus, and the National De­fense
Student Loan program.
Alabama was one of only four
or five states which received
severe cutbacks, according to
Charles Griffin, assistant di­rector
of Student Financial Aid.
Griffin said the delegates were
sent to Washington to find out
why the appropriation for the
six-month period of July 1 to
December 31 was so much smal­ler
than the past six-month pe­riod.
The SFA office had based
their budget on receiving 60 per
cent of the funds requested but
received only 29 per cent. Grif­fin
felt that there was no chance
of receiving funds for the sum­mer,
but hoped that Alabama's
delegation could obtain an in­creased
appropriation for the
January through June period, with
some of the money "earmarked"
for use in the fall.
Griffin explained that the
Work Study Program had to be
cancelled this summer so that
it could be offered for the coming
fall, winter and spring.
Although the University will be
able to maintain most of the stu­dents
already participating in
the Work Study Program, accept­ance
of new applicants will be
very limited, according to Grif­fin.
He stressed emphatically the
importance of the work-study
students to the University, which
pays only 20 per cent of the
salary of each student. Without
this program, the University
must hire full-time employees
and pay all of the salaries.
"This cutback," Griffin stated,
"not only affects the individual
student, but it also affects the
agencies where they (the work-study
students) work and the
over-all community."
speeches and informal talk ses­sions
with the pair. Ten stu­dents
sat in the living room with
Mrs. Pitman, her infant daughter
Angela and her sister Mary
Cummingham.
Eighty other students gathered
on the front porch to talk with
Miss Steinem. Discussion cen­tered
on the University dis­cipline
system, and women's
rules. Some called for a sleep-out
that night.
An issue was women's rules,
said Miss Steinem, but she
pointed to a larger issue of adult
freedoms.
She was careful to emphasize
that any demostration would be
by the students themselves.
"I'm behind you all the way,
but you've got to do this thing
for yourselves. I can't lead you,"
she said.
Suzanne Wise, 2GSY, emerged
as the organizer for the sleep-out
because she was among the
14 girls who slept on Pres. Harry
M. Philpott's lawn last spring.
S t u d e n t s were split over
whether to sleep out that night
or to postpone the demonstration
to organize.
The group broke up to go from
dormitory to dormitory gathering
other coeds. By 10:40 p.m.' the
group, now approximately 200,
reassembled on the rear porch of
the Social Center.
When Miss Wise asked how
many would stay out Thursday
night, 60 coeds responded*
The next day 94 students met
in Graves Amphitheatre and or­ganized

Algae causes
odor, taste
in city water
Algae is responsible for
the city's current problems
with bad-tasting, smelly wa­ter,
according to Auburn water
works board Manager James
Gilbert.
Gilbert said the water is still
safe for human consumption.
The problem recurs every
spring when heavy rains wash
water-soluble fertilizer contain­ing
large quantities of phosphate
and nitrogen from farmlands into
Lake Ogletree, the city's source
of water. The fertilizer stim­ulates
the growth of algae, ex­plained
Gilbert.
There are two ways to^get
rid of the taste and odor created
when the algae is killed at the
water treatment plant. A carbon
solution added to the water

Convicts relense
coeds unharmed
3y Alice Murray
Plainsman Staff Writer
Two Auburn students, Kim
Davis, 2GHY, and Laura Ran­dolph,
2CT, were released
unharmed Wednesday after
being held hostage for nearly
two hours by two inmates at
Draper Prison near Wetumpka.
The two convicts were Ira
Moore, 23, and David Hall, 25.
Moore was serving a 10-year
sentence for robbery and Hall
for 18 months on an escape
charge. Prison records do not
show the original offense for
which Hall was sentenced ac­cording
to reports by United
Press International.
The coeds were among a social
problems class touring the prison
facilities.
The convicts seized the girls
as they were inspecting the
prison's kitchen facilities, and
reportedly held them at knife­point,
demanding a car for their
attempted escape.
In describing her abduction ,
Miss Davis said, "We went
through the kitchen and all of a
sudden this guy grabbed me. I
started laughing at first, then
he brought a knife up to my throat.
Another guy had gotten another
girl, Laura Randolph, the cap­tain
of the guard was called ,and
we were taken out to the back
gate," Miss Davis said.
The prisoners and hostages
stood out in the sun for nearly
two hours while prison officials
tried to talk the convicts into
releasing the girls.
The convicts promised to
release the girls if they were
given a car.
"Both convicts," Miss Davis
said, "were Vietnam veterans,
and were very bitter about
Vietnam."
Finally, a car was brought
around, Miss Davis said, and
the guards told the convicts to
either release the girls, or they
would shoot them. The convict
holding Mrs.; Randolph dropped
his knife , Miss Davis said, and
three other convicts overpowered
the convict holding her.
VM/ss A-Doy'f awards
highlight Saturday game
A-Day festivities this Saturday will include the crowning
of "Miss A-Day" and presenting special awards to outstanding
Auburn athletes.
The A Club, an organization
consisting of varsity Auburn
athletes, is sponsor of the
event which features a football
game between two selected
teams on the Auburn squad.
"Miss A -Day" will be an­nounced
during half time. Mary
Lou Biddle, 3FCD; Judy Bran-nan,
1EED; Debbie Brown, 3SED;
Karen Harter, 1FM; and Becky
Wilkes, 3FCD, are candidates
for the title.
Members of the A Club select
the winner.
Special events of the after­noon
will include Pres. Harry
M. Philpott presenting the Cliff
Hare Award to Alvin Bresler,
Auburn football and track star.
Each year the award is pre­sented
to the outstanding senior
athlete.
Mac Davis, president of the
A-Club, said that Pat Sullivan,
Auburn football star, and John
Mengelt, Auburn basketball
star, will receive special "pre­sentations"
during halftime.
Alpha Omicron Pi sorority will
present an award to the "most
outstanding fraternity" and new
cheerleaders for the 1971-72
school year will also be an­nounced.
Other activities will include
introducing, before the game,
new Auburn football scholar­ship
winners.
Proceeds from the event go
to the A-Club and the Band
Scholarship Fund, a donation
to the University Marching Band.
Dick Gregory closes Horizons
By Keith Bedwell
Plainsman Staff Writer
Dick Gregory, black come­dian,
civil rights activist, and
former presidential candidate,
will speak Monday at 9 p.m.
in the Student ' Activities
Building.
Gregory will be the last in
this year's series of speakers
sponsored by the Horizons Sym­posium.
Gregory first achieved national
prominence as a comedian. How­ever
in the mid-sixties he de­cided
to give up the entertain­ment
business so that he could
devote himself to the problem
of civil rights.
Presently he spends his time
giving speeches at college cam­puses
and writing books. His
most successful book yet is his
autobiography, '' Nigger.''
Gregory has also been in­volved
in politics. In 1967, he
waged an unsuccessful write-in
campaign for mayor of Chicago
against Richard Daley. In 1968,
without any organization or
professional backing, he .ran
for president.
Gregory is highly critical of
the hypocrisy he sees present
in American society. "Law and
order means to me shooting to
kill all looters," he has stated.
"I, myself, could endorse that
plank in my platform as long as
we made it retroactive to the
1600's and gave the guns to
the Indians."
Gregory has also said,
"The white man says the nig­ger
smells. That's like Hitler
visiting the concentration camps
and saying how the Jews smelled.
I say, it wasn't the Jews he
was smelling; it was Nazism.
I say it's not the greasy, dirty,
filthy, niggers that's smelling;
it's democracy. In Los Angeles
they've got 35 garbage trucks
hauling off the garbage, 27 of
them in that sweet-smelling
Beverly Hills and only seven
in all of Watts. No wonder the
niggers stink. I say, if you don't
share your garbage trucks with
us, one day we're going to share
our garbage with you."
While Gregory was in the mid­dle
of his presidential campaign,
he was asked why he was making
the effort when it was obvious
that he had no chance of being
elected. He replied, "Baby, I'm
going to change the world."

Three area banks provide
student checking services
By Bill Butler
Plainsman Staff Writer
When an Auburn student
needs cash where does he
go with his blank check?
There are three banks, each
with approximately the same
requirements, to chose from:
the First National Bank of
Auburn, the Auburn National
Bank and the Auburn Branch
of the Opelika National
Bank.
The Plainsman recently
conducted a survey of local
banks concerning their check
cashing and other policies
as related to students.
All three require a student
ID or other proof of enrol­lment
in the University be­fore
cashing a check. The
Auburn Branch of the Ope­lika
National Bank is the
only one which sets a speci­fic
limit on checks. Student
checks over $25 are not
cashed. Neither the First
National Bank or Auburn Nat­ional
sets any particular
limit, although checks for over
S50 at First National or $100
at Auburn National must
usually be approved by an
executive. This policy, how­ever,
applies to all checks,
not just to those of students.
The banks do not generally
cash checks of non-residents.
Joe Bailey, assistant cashier
at Auburn National, said "the
students are getting a break.
Our policy is that we don't
cash someone's check un­less
they have an account
here."
However, at First Nat­ional
and Auburn National,
the students pay ten cents
per check cashed for this
"break," The branch of Ope­lika
does not charge for cash­ing
checks.
All claimed that bad checks
on students were an extremely
minor problem. Cashiers at
Opelika National said that
the proportion of bad checks
written by students was be­low
the average.
Many new additions
in 1970-1971 Glom
Students picking up their
1970-1971 Glomeratas this
week at the Auburn Union
discovered several new ad­ditions.
For the first time campus
entertainment was recalled
in a separate section, and
opinions of student leaders
were also featured.
The entertainment section
consists of pictures of
performers who visited the
campus during the past
year^ Bob Hope, the Detroit
Symphony', andr Andre Kole
share the section with
Chicago, Three Dog Night,
and Steppenwolf.
The new "leadership"
portion of the Glom features
the divergent views of cam­pus
leaders on various rele­vant
questions.
"We tried to show a cross-section
of the Auburn student
body, with their common
aspects. Each segment feels
that it is right and they're
all searching for happiness,"
said Geoff Ketcham, the
1970-1971 Glom editor.
The Glom also has more
color photographs in the
beauty section, Ketcham
said, because this year
we had enough student
photographers with good
equipment, and the exper­ience
to make such fine
pictures. The photographs
„of... the. administration and
tlie""aea'ns'•,were -also* taken
so that they would look
like people, and not just
faces."
Ketcham added that the
Glom burn did not have much
influence on this year's
Dook, and that he was
in no way censored. "The
main reason that last year's
Glom didn't turn out as well,
is that they didn't have
enough help."
5GA makes attempt
to update club file
An attempt to update the
Student Government Associ­ation's
file on campus or­ganizations
was initiated
Tuesday night with a meet­ing
of 45 club presidents
and representatives.
Ken Horton, chairman of
the Board of Student Organ­izations,
an SGA committee
concerned with information
on campus organizations,
said that the number of stu­dent
organizations is un­known
because of incomplete
information in the file.
Horton said that organiza­tion
presidents who did not
attend the meeting Tuesday
should contact personnel in
the Student Affairs Office,
304 Mary Martin Hall, by
next week.

Horton said that
the board needed the infor­mation
in order to dispense
information to interested stu­dents.

noon. Forms may be ob- §
tained at the Office of ||

tin Hall. I
The three banks' checking
account policies also dif­fered
slightly. None have a
service charge for a balance
over $200. If the balance is
under $200, Auburn National
and First National charge a
base rate of 85 cents per
month plus five cents per
check.
Opelika National is slightly
lower, charging 75 cents per
month plus five cents for'
each check. Auburn National
and First National both offer
a special checking account-one
may purchase checks for
ten cents each and pay no
other charge.
Student savings accounts
are not as numerous as check­ing
accounts. First National
Bank discourages student
savings accounts because,
as a bank executive put it,
"Most students try to make
checking accounts out of
them."
All pay the same interest
on savings accounts-41/2 per
cent compounded semi-an­nually.
First National also
has a continuously-com­pounded
savings plan which
pays approximately 5.1 per
cent.
The banks will make stu­dent
loans but not for school
expenses. A government pro­gram
is available for students
needing money to finish
school. At this time, the
legal age for loans is 21.
Students often have difficulty
obtaining a loan since most
do not have a source of in­come
or property to use as
collateral.
Theologians
to appear
at seminar
A battery of ministers and
theologians will appear in
a seminar at Auburn Monday
on the subject of "The
Christian and War." The time
will be 7 p.m. in Haley Cen­ter
2370.
Seminar participants in­clude
Dr. Frank Stagg,
professor of New Testament
at the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary in
Louisville, Ky., Dr. Robert
Strong, minister of the
Trinity Presbyterian Church
in Montgomery, Dr. John S.
Bray, assistant professor of
history at Wayne State Col­lege
in Nebraska and Lt.
Col. Martin W. Heinicke,
chaplain with the U.S. Army
Infantry School at Ft. Ben-ning,
Ga.
The participants will
focus their discussion on
the war in Southeast Asia.
Dr. Glenn Eaves, assistant
professor of history and
chairman of the Religious
Affairs Committee , said that
"Stagg is an extreme pacifist
while the others are mode­rates.
This seminar should
provide some very interest­ing
discussion on the war in
Southeast Asia."
The Religious Affairs
Committee is sponsor of the
seminar.

Council.
Drug Conference
features discussion
"To open the university
to the masses of people is
the purpose of the Non-
Credit Short Courses pro­gram
,'' commented the
Conference Director Dr. Ed
White, who heads the pro­gram.
Offered for the first time
spring quarter, the program
met with such success that
over 300 persons had to be
put on waiting lists when the
267 pupil allotment was ful­filled.
Expansion of the
program is planned for fall.
Anyone with interest and
ability to benefit from a
course is eligible to enroll.
There are no educational
prerequisites such as high
school transcripts or col­lege
entrance exams. No
university credit is given
for participation though.
The evening classes for
summer quarter will begin
June 21 for a period of 8
weeks, ending the week
of August 9.
Classes include "account­ing
for the non-accountant,"
"mastering good English,"
"intermediate typewriting,"
"intermediate shorthand,"
"beginning typewriting,"
"basic drawing," "home-flower
arranging," "swim­ming,"
"golf for women"
and "business law."
Registration for any of
the 10 courses is now open ,
with early application
advised as applications are
in the order they are received.
Persons on the spring quat-er
waiting list should re­apply
, if still interested.
Applications are obtained
from and submitted to Con­ference
Director, Room 300,
Mary Martin Hall, Auburn
University, Auburn, Ala­bama,
36830. Checks should
be made payable to the
Auburn University Con­ference
Office. No registra­tion,
either by mail or in
person, will be accepted
after June 18.
Facts about heroin, mor­phine,
codeine, methadone,
cocaine, LSD, marijuana,
barbiturates, amphetimines,
DMT and mescaline will be
discussed "in a scientific
sense" Wednesday during
the fourth annual Drug Educa­tion
Conference sponsored
by the School of Pharmacy in
cooperation with five student
organizations and two com­munity
groups.
Dr. Harry M. Williams of
the Emory University Medi­cal
School will discuss the
nature of many "abusive"
drugs excluding marijuana at
2 p.m. in Haley Center 3195.
Dr. Williams was the first
person to observe the effects
of LSD on humans in a re­search
experiment and has
debated with Timothy Leary
on national television.
Dr. Glen Kiplinger of the
Indiana University Medical
Center will lecture on mari­juana,
also at 2 p.m., in
Haley Center 1203. Promo­tional
material describes Dr.
Kiplinger as "a foremost
authority on marijuana."
A panel discussion on
problems related to drug
abuse is scheduled for 7:30
p.m. in Haley Center 2370.
Along with Dr. Williams and
Dr. Kiplinger the panel con­sists
of Carlos Rabron of
the Alabama Toxicology
Laboratory, and the Rev.
Jerry Ridling, pastor of the
Village Christian Church.
Joseph Manno, assistant
professor of pharmacy, said
the conference "would pro­vide
one of the few oppor­tunities
for students to hear
actual researchers discuss
facts related to drug usage.
Often, speakers on the sub­ject
draw their information
from books and other second­hand
sources."

education and benefit of the
campus and the community.
In conjunction with the
conference, Gov. George
Wallace proclaimed the week
of May 23 to 29 as "Drug
Education Week." The pro­clamation
reads: "Whereas
the greatest asset we enjoy
in the great state of Alabama
is our young people and their
potential for the future; and
whereas the health, welfare
and future of our young peo­ple
are being threatened in­creasingly
by the menace of
narcotics and dangerous
drugs; and whereas we seek
the advice and assistance of
student leaders from through­out
our state in combating
this problem- and in helping
us • to" educate their fellow
students; now, therefore, I,
George C. Wallace, governor
of the state of Alabama, do
hereby proclaim the week of

Steinem and Pitman discuss women's lib, racism
Women's liberation spokes­man
Gloria Steinem Monday
night presented "the path­ology
of the original second
class group:" women.
Miss Steinem launched her
three-pronged explanation of
the women's liberation move­ment;
historical context of
women and their roles, ex­plosion
of "scientifically
proven" myths concerning
women and benefits of wo­men's
liberation to society.
Addressing filled Graves
Amphitheater as "friends,
neighbors and sisters," she
said. "As a member of the
press, I've been depressed
by their systematic ridicule
of women's liberation."
During pre-history women
were worshipped for the
childbearing act, said Miss
Steinem. with the rise of
the state came the recogni­tion
that women were the
means of production of work­ers
and soldiers.
As such, Miss Steinem
said, women became the pro­perty
of the state and were
subordinated so that the
state's control could be
maintained.
Women then were relegated
to performance of tasks men
did not relish and marked as
cheap labor. "It costs a wo­man
$3,000 a year in salary
to have her cigarette lit,"
she quipped.
"We have myths in our
heads," Miss Steinem said.
The myths which define what
is feminine and masculine
are cultural, not biological.
"Penis envy is the greatest
male chauvinist notion of all
time. It has no basis in fact,
only in society."
Noting that "there are only
two professions that a penis
or a vagina are required,"
she suggested that a whole
generation of women should
refuse to learn to type.
T.'iiss Steinem pointed to
the church as "the greatest
myth-maker of all." Early
attitudes that sex and women
were evil gave the church a
greater hold over men, who
held money and power. Even
though the picture is chang­ing,
she continued, the stig­ma
persists.
"Woman's lib is for
humanism," she proclaimed.
Miss Steinem sees the libera­tion
of women from traditional
roles as resulting in men
who are no longer dehuman­ized
and restricted to
definite, masculine-defined
roles.
"Most men are so ac­customed
to submission that
they don't know what co­operation
can be like. There
is no such thing as love
between unequals," she
said. "It is time to start
to look for real and human
potential."
"All your life you have
been tricked to believeyou
are one half a person. Mar­riage
is designed for a
person and a half; not two
whole, loving, equal per­sons/'
s"ne declared.
That marriage is the only
life changing mechanism
open to a woman, Miss
Steinem said, is ridiculous.
A woman should know from
birth that she is free to do
as she wishes , she said.
"You live in a Jockocracy,
you know," she said. The
same amount of money should
be given to women students
that funds man's athletics.
"If women want to get on a
bus and travel around to
other schools visiting, they
should be able to," she
said.
Unequal admissions stan­dards
for woman and the
process of tracking women
into certain femine-defined
studies is clearly wrong,
she said. Any professor who
tries to track a woman stu­dent
"should be fired. He
rapes her mind, her hopes,
her desires."
She warned that federal
funds will be withheld from
a university that is proven
to be discriminatory in its
admissions or promotion
policies.
Miss Steinem called six
tenths of one per cent in
black enrollment "an enor­mous
disgrace." It is the
white students, she said,
who are being ghettoized
because they do not know
black America. She sug­gested
black studies as a
solution. Steinem and Pitman
Change suggested
in classroom rules
By Royce Harrison
Plainsman Staff Writer
As part of a. developing
deliberation over student
rights in the classroom
which may culminate in a
new class attendance pol­icy,
the University Senate
has passed a resolution that
recommends "necessary ac­tion"
be taken to correct
violations of University
grading and attendance reg­ulations.
The resolution cites four
unreasonable practices: (1)
Instructors who lock their
door as class begins, and
give "F" grades for any
absence or tardiness;
(2) Instructors who permit
only one class absence with
no allowance for illness or
other reasons and reduce
the final grade for each
additional absence.
(3) Instructors who lecture
or make assignments on
certain topics and cover
different topics on quizzes.
(4) Instructors who meet
class and administer quizzes
other than the officially
designated time.
Dr. Wiley Johnson, chair­man
of the Academic Stan­dards
Committee which
proposed the resolution, had
no ready definition of
"necessary action," He did
say that it involved identify­ing
the instructors and warn­ing
them to correct them­selves.
"
There is nothing in Uni­versity
rules that says pro­fessors
may lower grades
because of absences.
The resolution grew out
of these three resolutions
passed by the Student Senate
last November:
(1) No instructor shall
have a class cut policy (col­lege
students have enough
initiative to attend classes
on their own, and if not,
they will be the ones to suf­fer
the consequences).
(2) All instructors shall
follow a grading policy not
higher than 90-100, 80-90,
etc.
(3) All graduating seniors
shall have the privilege of
optional finals.
Dr. Paul Latimer, member
of the Academic Standards
Committee, explained that
the Student Senate decisions
could not be adopted as
proposed because they
weren't in the best interest
of the students.
"Wecouldn't, for instance,
approve of the cut policy
since it would apply to clas­ses
like labs where "in
class performance" is a ma­jor
factor in determining the
grade."
"We drew up a new pro­posal,
different from the
Student Senate resolutions,
which we feel will clean-up
the situation within the
framework of existing regula­tions.
There will be more
discussion and examination
of the rules, because many
faculty member.' feel new
laws are needed," he said.
AUM students
Any main campus stu­dent
who is planning to
enroll at Auburn Univer­sity
in Montgomery (AUM)
for the summer quarter
should secure a transient
admission form from the
Registrar's Office before
leaving the campus this
spring.
'*No' student will be per­mitted
to enroll at AUM
from the main campus
without a valid transient
admission application.
A schedule of courses
available at AUM for sum­mer
quarter may be ob­tained
at the Registrar's
Office, 100 Martin Hall,
Questions concerning
subject matter accept­ability
must be referred
to the appropriate main
campus dean.
"There is very little
education going on in state
universities and a lot of
purchasing degrees going
on," declared free, universal
day care pioneer Dorothy
Pitman Monday night.
"Any student who finds
him in an all-white class on
this campus should wonder...
Any student in a class • with
one or two blacks having
an all-white subject, should
tell the instructor it is not
relevant to everyone," she
said later.
Mrs. Pitman called for
black studies because black
students know more about
white America than white
students know about black
America.
She reminded the 500
persons present that the
world's minority is white
people. "South African con­trol
can not last forever.
Consider what will happen
to your children .*'
"You can see by the
number of black people on
this campus, six tenths of
a per cent, that we can't
beat you up. We can only do
things together that are
relevant to humanity," she
told the group.
"I saw two black students
the whole time I was in the
women's dining hall. .. . and
it's so sad," and she con­tinued,
that very few white
people in the South really
want to talk about it. "Young
people here are still asking
(their parents) what they
can do," she said.
"There is no way for me
to say 'sister' unless you
see the oppression. Young
people just don't know when
they are caught up in a
racist act," Mrs. Pitman
had said earlier.
"I feel and I see arijup-tightness
in this whole
group. . .1 have observed a
feeling that what she (Gloria
Steinem) discussed is not
relevant. It almost feels like
a social club.
She referred to Miss
Steinem's statement that
the average housewife works
99.6 hours a week for nc
salary and "must chisel it
off the household budget."
"Maybe you don't think
you will really have to work
99.6 hours a week. . .that
someone will do it for you,"
Mrs. Pitman said. She said
she left her hometown of
Lumpkin, Ga., to escape
racism and sexism.
"Women fought for the
vote-they were not given
it," but, she said, when
women fought for the vote
they forgot about racism and
sexism.
"I would like to stand
before you at one time and
say 'Hello sisters and bro­thers'.
. .until then I guess
you'll have to not like, but
respect me.
"I will say what I feel
like saying-not what you
want to hear." As Mrs.
Pitman finished, she re­ceived
a standing ovation
from over 75 per cent of the
audience.

in the Derby throughout the
campus.
Donnell said that one of
the events, "Derby Snatch,"
has been outlawed by the
University as too dangerous,
and that several of the other
events were outdated and
in' need of replacement.
Several new ideas are being
researched, with emphasis
on making the Derby more
beneficial to the community.
Jack Crew, 2PB, 1971
Derby Daddy, has sent let­ters
to Sigma Chi chapters
throughout the U.S., seeking
new ideas for the events.
Letters have also been
sent to the local sororities,
asking for suggestions.
The immediate employ­ment
of a director of recrea­tional
services to lead a
comprehensive recreation
program on campus was rec­ommended
recently by the
ad hoc committee on rec­reational
services.
The committee also rec­ommended
the appointment
of a standing Committee on
Recreational Services by
the president of the Univer­sity,
the immediate and se­rious
attention to the con­struction
of an indoor hand­ball
facility and the con­struction
of additional tennis

The Concessions Board
last week granted $3,000
for lighting the present ten­nis
courts.
"Auburn is in dire need
of a comprehensive plan of
recreational services both
for the present and, especial­ly
for the future," the com­mittee
stated.
"The first task of the

will be to ascertain needs

Don Cosper, chairman of
the Union Entertainment
Committee, was quoted as
saying that the Auburn Union
had received letters from
local theaters complaining
that the Union was "taking
away some of their busi­ness."
^
The Plainsman was con­tacted
by the manager of
the Villiage Theater and
informed that he nor any­one
else in town had sent
any complaints to the Union
as such.
One of the secretaries at
the Union said, "We have

Cosper was not available

Draper Prison
Tuesday's incident at Draper Pri­son
was interpreted by many as a
dramatic example of the potential
danger involved in the field trips of
this sort which have been going on
for 15 years at Auburn.
Certainly the incident was danger­ous,
and both girls (who were held as
hostages for two hours) are lucky to
have escaped unharmed.
In the future, it would be wise to
take safety precautions which might
prevent such incidents. But we feel
that it would be overreacting to dis­continue
the trips.
In addition to the fact that field-trips
to prisons, mental hospitals,
and homes for juvenile delinquents
have been made for 15 years without
incident, we feel that these trips have
a very desirable educational purpose.
The entire prison system in this
country is hopelessly inadequate and
misdirected.
Our only hope for ever straighten­ing
out the system-for seeing that
those who need help don't receive
punishment instead, is to show the
public what our prison system is like.
A discussion with the two girls
involved in the attempted escape at
Draper, indicates that they too feel
that the trips are worthwhile.
"I don't see those people as my
enemy," said Kim Davis only a few
short hours after the incident.
"We both feel that they needed
help rather than punishment," said
Laura Randolph.
Both girls stated that throughout
the incident they were told repeatedly
that "You won't be hurt-we simply
don't like it here."
We can't think of any better way to.
begin letting the public know what
our prison system is like than taking
groups to visit prisons where they
can view the conditions first hand.
Good Luck
As we go to press this week, im­petus
is gathering behind the cam­pus's
first organized protest against
women's rules. We are hopeful that
this effort will succeed where others
have failed; in reaching the larger
student body to shake students from
their apathy.
We've said it before and we'll say
it again: Women's social rules, parti­cularly
in view of the fact that there
are no social rules for men, are in­equitable
and irrelevant.
Women students have the same
faculties available for use in govern­ing
their personal lives that men stu­dents
do. The existence of women's
rules implies that is not true and
thereby insults the intelligence of
the women they govern.
Strength
Several students responded to last
week's Perspective column in wnich
we reprinted an evaluation of Au­burn
wnich was written by the staff
of the Yale Daily News. The;article
described Auburn as a "very pleas ant
place to go to school if you are
ignorant, reactionary and racist."
This week our Perspective column
features another evaluation of Auburn
Students-this one published by the
Department of University Relations
here at Auburn.
Last week's Perspective exag­gerated
the worst about Auburn and
ignored the best.
This week's Perspective, we feel,
has equally, but in a different way
,^i,ss.e4„J.he, mark as an. objective
evaluation of Auburn.
We regard the task of describing
a "typical" Auburn student as being
next to impossible. Auburn students
can only be described as a diverse
group. And perhaps that is one of
our greatest strengths.
Expectations
After interviewing more than 100
interested students, SGA Pres. Jimmy
Tucker.this week appointed the mem­bers
of his Executive Cabinet.
Also this week, the SGA was allo­cated
more than $50,000 in Student
Activities Fees to carry out its pro­grams
during the coming year.
We offer our congratulations to
those students who were chosen to
run our student government-but at
the same time we remind them of what
1967-68 SGA Pres. Charles Bentley
said in a recent Plainsman interview.
"The most frustrating thing about
being SGA president is the fact that
one year is hardly enough time to
really accomplish anything," he said.
With an Executive Cabinet that ap­pears
to be both capable and devoted,
and with the largest budget of any
student activity on campus, our SGA
officials should be able to accomplish
quite a bit during the short year that
they are in office.
We're confident that they can. We
wish them luck and we hope to be
able to point to some tangible re­sults
of their efforts one year from
now.

If liberation is, as Gloria
Steinem put it, a "change in
consciousness,'' then perhaps
a few Auburn students shared
a step toward liberation
Monday night.
The speeches of Miss
Steinem and Dorothy Pitman
were notable, not so much for
the emotions they aroused in
their audience, but rather
for the feelings that they
could not elicit. As Miss
Steinem, carefully tried to put
the current struggle for wom­en's
rights into historical and
social perspective, you could
almost feel the uptightness
of the group as coeds in
pseudo-freak bell bottoms
and hot pants from Polly-Tek
shifted uneasily in their
seats, while Dean of Women
Katharine Cater listened
politely with the usual
"ain't - college - kids -cute-little-
boogers" smile.
But when Dorothy Pitman
Dean Cater doesn't cast spells
"You have a date with Dean
Cater-pick her up around
7:30, won't you, T-Bot?"
The words of my good
friend, the fraternity social
chairman, shook me up a great
deal.
"What the heck do you
mean?" I retorted.
"It's simple," he replied.
"We sent her an invitation to
the banquet, and she accepted.
Someone must escort her, and
you weren't here when we
doled out the assignments.
Your job is to accompany Miss
Cater and make her feel at
home."
The occasion was another
one of those stuffy banquets
in honor of a very deserving
chapter adviser. There was no
use arguing about my assign­ment;
everyone, to my chagrin,
thought I would be the perfect
match for Miss Cater.
I began to worry. What is
Dean Cater really like? Does,
she really live in the eigh­teenth
century? Has she
memorized Amy Vanderbilt and
Emily Post? Will my lacking
social graces offend her?
One of my friends prepared
me for my date: "This is your
big chance, T-Bot. You can
put in a good word for abolish­ing
the repressive women's
rules on campus. Tell her that
even All American boys like
yourself think she distributes
chastity belts to naughty co­eds."
Groan. I resorted to calling
my mother. "Why, that's won­derful,"
she said when she
heard about the occasion.
"Some of my good friends
know Dean Cater and think
she is a fine, charming lady-be
sure to cut your hair, shine
your shoes, and wash your
car."
Since all of this advice was
beginning to turn my stomach,
I decided to devote a night of
meditation to developing psy­chological
strategy for the big
occasion. Such deliberation
yielded one good suggestion:
drink a pint of scotch before
picking up the distinguished
dean of women..
The big moment finally
came. I walked the wide ex­panse
between-the*street and
the imposing Social Center,
discussions on the food, the
flower arrangements, Eleanor
Roosevelt, and the social
history of Auburn University.
No talk about women'srules-
I didn't have the guts.
The problem was Dean
Cater; she was no Priscilla
Goodbody. She didn't spit fire
or cast spells. If anything,
she was friendly, polite, and
socially agreeable. Even
some of her harsh critics pre­sent
at the banquet enjoyed
her company that night.
I am strongly opposed to the
present "rules" system that
Auburn coedp: must tolerate.
Indeed, the system is re­pressive,
even with the recent
modifications belatedly
granted by President Phil-pott.
My social affair with Dean
Cater illustrates, however,
the distinction between peo­ple
(in this case Dean Cater),
practicing my opening words:—and their opinions and poli-
Dean Cater, how are you to- cies. Responsible and humane
night-indeed, you look so nice
in that elegant dress. Pardon
me, but I think you repress
women students on campus."
I didn't have a chance to
utter those words; Dean Cater
immediately "turned on" her
conversational grace, and the
night was wasted away with
dissent should be directed
toward the "repressive"
policy or the "inaccurate"
opinion, not the age, appear­ance,
or personality of a cer­tain
administrator. Dean Cater
is (pardon the adjective) .a
nice person; she deserves
responsible dissent.
rose and gave a poignant ac­count
of her reasons for leav­ing
school and the South and
her feelings on returning to
the racist climate against
which she has fought, the
change in mood could be ft.it
by both the speaker and her
audience. Auburn being what
it is, this was the first op­portunity
for many to hear the
philosophy of the black
revolution from one who is
living it, but for most it was
simply a breach of a tradi­tional
barrier-you just do
not talk about racism at
Auburn unless you discuss
it in abstract or in its large
social context. Mrs. Pitman
made the unforgivable social
blunder of talking about
racism and liberation in terms
of herself, a person, and
other human beings. The
subject suddenly was made
to invade the consciousness
of each individual, and the
discomfort of the audience
was unmistakable.
The reaction of the crowd
made as much of an impres­sion
on me as Mrs.Pitman's
statements. People were
nervously looking at each
other to see whether or not to
laugh at her humor or applaud
her logic. She mentioned
that she felt as if she were
addressing a country club
of some kind. When it was
over, a pseudo-liberal stand­ing
ovation began sporadical­ly,
then drew in the uptight
fringe to end in rousing
applause.
A sickening feeling came
over me. I realized first of
all that she was right-that
racism, no matter how subtle
or casual, is still a major
component of Southern life.
Not that this is something
we do not all know; but it
is the kind of thing we manage
to comfortably avoid thinking
about. Like dying, or the
bomb, something inside us
acts to protect our conscious
selves from the anxiety of
knowing the truth.
But even more disquieting
was the realization that even
though I consider myself a
liberal, especially where
race is concerned, I have
done nothing personally to
try and change the racism
around me. Even in the mat­ter
of trying to convey my
own sincere concern to black
students I have done little.
The net effect of my liberal
attitudes has been the same
as if I were a reactionary
racist who has also done
nothing.
It has been easy in the
past to do nothing. It is al­ways
easy not to act for fear
of rejection of overtures of
friendship and concern for
others. But when a black
Auburn student stood up to
express his own rejection
and frustration at the attitude
of white Auburn students
toward the recent Black Art
Festival, I was confronted
by the realization that racism
on this campus is cutting
through human beings just
like myself-people who feel
the same emotional pains
as I.
It was an experience in
consciousness, and I believe
a few others present must
have experienced the same
feelings. But the question
now is "Where do we go from
here?" Talking with black
students after the speeches,
I found the same kind of dis­comforting
aversion to break­ing
the racial communication
barrier in them. Much of it
seemed a reaction against
what, if you are black, seems
an overtly racist atmosphere.
On the other hand, we seemed
to share a common component
or fear and mistrust common
to all people but amplified
between the races in our
society.
We simply must bridge this
barrier at Auburn. If we are
ever to move into an age in
which each of us may become
truly liberated within the
span of our individual po­tentials,
we must begin by
experiencing a consciousness
of the humanness that is
within everyone. We must
start with the reaching out
of individuals to individuals,
but we must continue by
organizing to focus on more
communication among blacks
and whites, a more equitable
enrollment of minority groups,
and curricula that reflect
the entire spectrum of human
effort and thought that com­prise
this country's past
and future. Perhaps someday
soon, black and white stu­dents
will sit together in
the Haley lounge and share
the dream of liberation for
us all.
AU students keep change orderly and pertinent
This week's Perspective is re­printed
from a pamphlet entitled
"This is Auburn," which is pub­lished
monthly by the Department of
University ReIations.lt is, according
to the title, an attempt to assess
and evaluate the Auburn student.
Is the Auburn Student typical of
college students throughout the na­tion?
In general, yes. Today's col­lege
student is well prepared
academically and is keenly aware
of the world around him due to
television and the mobility of the
family.
A more affluent society has given
him unlimited opportunities and
altered his sense of values-at least
on the surface. There is, however,
little evidence to support the theory
that young people are dedicating
themselves to altruistic causes for
very long periods of time.
Rather, it is a period of explora­tion,
reflections and decision mak­ing.
Much of this "rebellion" may
even be due to the challenges un­available
to him-either because of
society or of parents who have
refused to let him face hardship,
pain or failure.
Today's college student is one of
the "futureless" generation. To him
the present economic situation only
compounds the threat of nuclear
annihilation and over population.
Technological trends have destroyed
many employment opportunities.
Students change curricula often,
some frequently drop out for a period
to work; many do so in an effort to
find a more meaningful an d profitable
need for higher education. Some have
even discovered they just don't need
it.
The emphasis on change, difficult
at best for adults, casts an even
darker shadow over the college-age
person. Fortunately, the majority
of Auburn students are proud of and
committed to Alabama and view their
state as one with unparalleled op­portunities
in an area still relatively
unpolluted and fairly free of urban
congestion.
Through well-rounded higher
educational experiences they are
already looking for and carving new
niches in areas without tradition
which will not only benefit the state
but which may set examples for the
nation.
It is unfair to call every student
with long hair and a beard a '' hip­pie"
or "radical." Some men of all
ages and persuasions have adopted
the style, most of whom are well-groomed.
Unkempt appearance is
distasteful, but it is probably due
to personal habits and is found as
frequently in the less "mod" styles.
The generation gap between
parents and teenagers evidently does
exist but on the college scene it has
narrowed to a gap between seniors
and freshmen. It appears that by the
time the Auburn student is ready to
receive his diploma, he is ostensibly
more tolerant of the so-called Esta­blishment,
both in his appearance
and attitude.
Throughout the nation the per­centage
of young people who actively
participate in destructive demons­trations
is small. At Auburn no such
demonstrations have occurred.
A peaceful moratorium, involving
scheduled speakers on both sides of
the Vietnam question, brought the
students together for dialogue. Be­fore
the day was over, however, the
issue switched to more liberal
rules for women, and a camp-out on
the President's lawn was staffed by
more men than women.
Approximately 50 persons partici­pated
in a "funeral" for free speech
after William Sloan Coffin's ap­pearance
on campus was cancelled
because he was under indictment for
anti-war activities. At the same time,
court proceedings had been instigated
by some students, and an eventual
ruling was handed down to settle
the matter on a statewide level.
Students protested mandatory
ROTC in group discussions and
letters to The Plainsman. There was
no organized activity, and the Board
of Trustees, in accord with the
national trend, voted to make ROTC
voluntary.
There have been no campus riots;
no occupying of buildings, laborato­ries
or offices. Military recruiters
have visited the campus without
incident. Property has not been
damaged, and there has been no boy­cott
of classes.
A Molotov cocktail, thrown into
Broun Hall several months ago, was
established as the work of a
prankster since ROTC was already
voluntary.
The constructive contributions of
Auburn students are numerous. One
such accomplishment is the esta­blishment
of a Crisis Center, a tele­phone
referral service, employing
volunteer professionals along with
trained students to help individuals
in trouble.
Auburn students have staged a
'' Sit-in-For-Santa,'' drawing national
publicity when, in cooperation with
the Auburn Chamber of Commerce the
current phrase was turned into pos­itive
action. Town and Gown co­operated
to collect toys and canned
goods for the poor in Lee County.
In the giving of blood, Aubum
students have contributed 33,044
pints, holding the world's record for
total pints contributed in any number
of days.
The All-Campus Fund Drive, which
collected over $7,000 last year, uses
its money to help the impoverished
in Lee County.
An increase in membership in
Greek letter organizations has been
noted at Auburn while showing a
decline nationally. Greeks volunteer
time and money to improve the lot of
the poor in the community. Other
service agencies have been instru­mental
in this respect, including
work with the physically and mental­ly
handicapped. Four scholarships
are awarded each year by the Pan-
Hellenic Council.
Credit for the peaceful, legal and
orderly means of accomplishing
change on the Auburn campus should
be given to responsible student
leadership and to the dialogue ;and
and communication between faculty,
administration and students. Pres­ident
Philpott has "rapped" on
Samford lawn three times, once for
over six hours, sharing mutual
problems with the students.
Other such sessions are planned.
And The Plainsman, award winning
student newspaper, serves to venti­late
gripes through its guest edito­rials
and letters to the editors. The
addition of a campus radio station
has further established communica­tion
and discussion.
For many years, Auburn students
have held membership on University
committees and councils. These
students, with farsighted faculty and
administration, will help keep the
process of change orderly and
pertinent to the advantage not only
of the University but to the state
of Alabama.

'Bigotry not just in Sooth' Organizations lose funds
Editor, The Plainsman:
We, here in the South, owe
a debt of gratitude to the Yale
Daily News writers for so aptly
demonstrating to the world that
bigotry and ignorance is not
solely a Southern institution.
Robert G. Robel, 6EH'
'Yale editorial
lacks research'
Editor, The Plainsman:
I read on your editorial page
of May 14 (Perspective) the
reprint of the "Insider's Guide
to Colleges" by the Yale Daily
News, and I would like to make
some comments on it, hoping
you are kind enough to publish
them.
Before going any further, I
want to make clear that I'm
neither from the South nor the
North, that I'm not even a citizen
of this country (I was raise d in
a land where racial prejudice
does not exist-Mexico City,
Mexico), and that, although I am
white, I hold nothing against
brown, yellow or black people.
I have lived in both the North
and the South with American
people and visited 12 of your
states. So as an outsider, I think
I have some background to make
this comment worthy.
I have visited many Northern
schools and even studied at one
of them (Kent State as a matter
of fact). I got involved in their
atmosphere of false liberalism
in many ways (participating
actively in the Residence Halls
Government, the varsity soccer
team and on-campus employment),
and I got sick of it.
Except for some honorable
exceptions, I met students who
didn't study, wore long stinky
hair, smoked pot and talked a lot
about sex (like grade school boys)
and girls who had sloppy jeans
and stringy hair-no bras, of
course.
The Administration was scared
of students and the faculty had
to condescend to them and their
poor work. If they say they don't
have discrimination, ask black
foreign students, who are scared,
not of white, but black Americans!
So I transferred to Auburn.
I don't know Alabama too well,
for I have only been to Mont­gomery
and Mobile, but I will
speak for Auburn. It's harder and
better than most Northern uni­versities,
the administration is
steady,- the teachers are heard
by the students, it's cleaner,
people are friendlier and girls. . .
look;like girls.
I don't know Yale, all I know
is that it has a great name. But
I am sure that it wasn't built
by hippies, pot, demonstrations
or women's lib.
Nor was this country.
The idiot who wrote about the
"haven for the ignorant" should
come and make some up-to-date
living research; his report seems
written by a farmer rather than a
brilliant. Yale student.

Gilliland, we have never pre­sented

But now we are made out to

Editor, The Plainsman:
I must thank John Samford
for his efficient and accurate
report of our presentation of a
discipline recommendation at
the Senate's open forum after
moratorium activities. However,
on page one of the same article
he says that the ACLU resolu­tion
in question "called for im­mediate
changes in the Univer­sity
discipline code." This
small error presents to every
student who read the article an
adverse image of what ACLU
really is.
The resolution, sent to ad­ministrators

for immediate action or demand­ing
changes unconditionally.

Black Art Festival attendance
The Black Art Festival,
held on campus May 14
through 16, disappointed its
sponsors, the Afro-American
Association, because of
the lack of attendance
and interest on the part of
students.
Frances Maddox, co-presi­dent
of the group, said that
the Association considered
the festival a success from
an "artisticviewpoint.""We
acheived what we wanted
to achieve," said Miss Mad­dox.
The Afro-American As­sociation,
a black student
organization, opened the
festival Friday night by
sponsoring a rock concert
featuring the Reflections
and Rare Earth rock groups.
The festival continued
Saturday morning with an
art exhibit in the Auburn
Union, featuring artwork,
jewelry, artifacts from Africa,
Johnny Hudson's pop art
and a display of posters and
paintings by area school
children.
There was a "battle of
the bands" contest Saturday
afternoon. Five bands com­peted
for the $100 cash
prize, which was won by
the "Chosen Few" of Op-elika.
A Black Ball was held
in the evening in the Student
Activities Building. "The
Costells" of Alexander
City provided the entertain­ment.
Sunday, a forum rap ses­sion
featuring four speakers
was presented. Dr. John
Cashin, former candidate
for governor, Fred Gray
of the Alabama House of
Representatives, Dr. Pres­ley
of the VA Hospital in
Tuskegee, and the Rev.
Rod Sinclair of St. Dunstan's
Chapel discussed drugs,
abortion, the Vietnam war,
lowering the voting age to
18 and other current issues.
The festival was keyed
mainly to area high school
students in order to attract
prospective students to the
campus to boost low black
enrollments.
Miss Maddox said that
"only six white students"
attended any of the events
other than the Rare Earth
concert. "When you give
someone the opportunity to
understand what they do
not understand, and they do
not take, it is a black mark
against them," she said.
"We have attempted to lift
the veil of ignorance. The
fact that there was such a
small response shows a great
degree of narrow-minded­ness
and ignorance." she
added.

that part-time em­ployment
for interested stu­dents
is no problem despite
the difficulty in finding jobs
on the national scene.
An average of 700students
per quarter at Auburn alternate
academic quarters with on-the-
job-education quarters in
a five-year program, according
to Tom Padget, assistant
director of the program.

Most say the experience
they receive in the business
world is essential to their
education, and the savings
they keep from their wages
help to finance v their total
education.
Locations of jobs may run
from the Ascension Islands,
off South Africa, to the edge
of campus in the city of Au­burn.
The accepted curri­culum,
once limited to engine­ering,
has mushroomed to
include 30 academic fields.
The School of Engineering,
however, providing 75 per cent
of the co-op students, is still
the base of the program.

Education majors, a total
of 12 during the spring quar­ter,
are co-oping in school
systems as teacher aides or

alternate quarters in an
Auburn high school and act
as teacher of a physical ed­ucation

At the Birmingham Munici­pal
Airport, two aviation
management students make
up the staff of the airport
manager. The Cooperative
Education office reports that
their aviation graduates have
found permanent jobs even
when aviation graduates find
a tight job market.
Married students often
find that co-oping will not
"work out" for them.butsome
do manage workable arrange­ments.
Eugene and Sarah
Metzger, both of Huntsville,
alternate quarters between
Auburn for academic study
and Huntsville for co-op ex­perience.
Both hold space-related
jobs with different
organizations.
The co-op office soon hopes
to place radio and television
majors in co-op positionswith
radio stations. Sociology,
psychology, speech therapy
and rehabilitation majors
have been proposed to work
with state mental health
facilities.
At least one state vocation­al
school has an opening for
a family and child develop­ment
major and a computer­ized

is seeking a chemical engine­ering
student as a co-op.

Predictions made
by would-be seer
Tomorrow is Disappointment Day, 1971. Invariably, it
seems, the contest between two teams of Auburn Tigers
is a dull, boring, disappointing game. Usually, spectators
come away from the game complaining not only about the
awful game that was played but also the heat, the officiat­ing,
and the people that sat next to them. It is just a non-interesting
game, usually.
One reason for this is that the game is not for the specta­tors
so much as it is for the benefit of the coaches. They
get to see what new, inexperienced players do in the near­est
thing to an actual game, and to see if any of their coach­ing
innovations are helpful.
The offense never shows much in a spring game because
the defense has faced the same thing every day of practice,
and they can almost predict what the next play will be.
Speaking of Sports
Randy Donaldson
Sports Editor
Consequently, you can often see defensive backs running
to where the ball is going to be thrown, linebackers going
in motion before the backs do, and fans going home to air-conditioning.
However, this year, following the Pat Sullivan-Tommy
Yearout selection of team members, a different story may
be in store. Sullivan and speedsters Terry Beasley and
Sandy Cannon are on the same squad, while none of the
defensive backfield of their opponents has ever played in
a varsity game.
Yearout's team does have the advantage in the running
backs with Terry Henley and Terry Page, but the lines of
the two teams are about even. The final story of this game
boils down to Sullivan-Beasley versus a bunch of sopho­more
defensive backs-and that is why the game could be of
a different type this A-Day.
A few predictions. . .
Digressing from tomorrow's game, though, I would like to
do something that I have longed to do since the days of
learning to love both football and the prediction sections
of the sports pages. Realizing that it is four months before
the football season begins, I would still like to issue the
first annual spring predictions of the fall football season.
The SEC champ will be Auburn, followed by Tennessee
and LSU, but the title will not be won without a mighty
struggle. The key of the whole conference championship
will occur in the second game of the season in Knoxville.
If Auburn wins, which I predict it will, then the Tigers will
be the kings of the SEC mountain. If the Vols win, though,
they will end up on top.
Auburn will probably lose one game somewhere along the
line, however. Competition is too evenly matched in this
era of football for one team to go unscathed. Georgia has
taken delight in ruining great seasons for Auburn in the
past, and they are a possible suspect to do so in the fall.

While fans watch Pat
Sullivan and Terry Beas­ley
at tomorrow's A-Day
game, some new defensive
faces might cause more
excitement on the bench.
The coaches have empha­sized
defense all through
the spring training sessions,
hoping to avoid a repeat of
the 1970 season, when late
season injuries resulted in
Auburn's opponents averag­ing
29 points in the last
three games.
"Without question, our de­fense
has made tremendous
progress this spring," said
Head Coach Snug Jordan,
"We've had some boys
come through in key posi­tions.
"You expect some people,
like Tommy Yearout, Mike
Neel, and Johnny Simmons,
to get out there and do a
good job, but it's always
nice to see some "freshman
like Mike Flynn and Jim
Sirmans working hard.
"This type of game is not
a real test of what we can
do," continued Jordan, "be­cause
the splitting of the
team cuts down on the ef­ficiency
of the unit, and
leads to less perfection."
"It should be an interest­ing
and entertaining game,
though. Of course, we 'Will
have Sullivan and Beasley
out there, although we don't
expect them to do much.
They haven't worked much
this spring, b e c a u s e we
wanted to look hard at the
back-up men. We know what
Pat and Terry can do.''
Sullivan and his co-cap­tain
Tommy Yearout picked
the two teams, with Sullivan
winning the coin toss to
make the first pick. He chose
Beasley, giving the fans the
extra treat of watching that
famous passing combination.
On the blue team offense,
Yearout went with the start­ing
backs Terry Page and
Terry Henley, at fullback
and tailback respectively.

chose to have James Owens
at tailback and Rusty Fuller
at fullback for his squad.
Also, the blue team has
Ralph Brock and Wade What­ley,
who are competing for
the number two quarterback
spot, Dick Schmalz, the
probable starting wingba^ck
in the fall, Robby Robinett,
the likely tight end in 1971,
and returning starter Larry
Hill at right guard.
They also have freshmen
Steve Taylor and Glenn Gor­don
at c e n t e r and r i g ht
taG)teter»* respectively, left
tackle Jere Colley and lef
guard Jay Casey, and split
end Rett Davis, to complete
the offense .
On the white squad,Sulli­van
chose Mac Lorendo,who
started the . Alabama and
Gator Bowl games last year
at left tackle, Tres Rodgers
at left guard, Bill McManus,
who is fighting with the in­jured
Spence McCracken for
the center spot, Donnie Tid­well
at right guard, Larry
Thompson at right tackle,
Sandy Cannon at wingback,
and B. T. Law, a big (217
pound) redshirt at tight end.
On the defense, the Sulli­van
has Dave Beck at left
sideback, and Johnny Sim­mons
at safety. Both are re­peat
performers, intercepting
nine passes between them
in 1970.
The whites might also
have the probable 1971 start­ing
l i n e b a c k e r s on their
squad in Sirmans at strong
side linebacker, Joe Moon,
who Coach Jordan said "has
made his move to be one of
the inside linebackers next
fall," Rick Chastain some­time
starter last year, and
Mike Neel, a repeating first
team right linebacker.
On the other hand, the blue
d e f e n s i v e might be con­s
i d e r e d sparse, in exper­ience.
Only one 1970 per­former
(right linebacker Gene
Walker) returns to start for
the blue, although John Hay-worth,
who intercepted three
passes in 1970, is backing
up Bill Newton at middle
linebacker.
Newton has been a real
surprise for the Tigers this
spring. A non-scholarship
player, and a twin brother of
Bob Newton (a right defen­sive
tackle on the whites),
Newton came out on his own
this spring, and worked his
Way up to a starting spot.
Completing the blue de­fense
is Flynn, Bill Luka
at middle guard, right guard
Bob Brown, a sure starter
with a long injury record that
has kept him out of action
most of the last two years,
Yearout at right tackle, Ben-my
Sivley at left tackle, Ed­die
Welch at left end, Roger
Mitchell at left sideback,
Dave Lyon at safety, and
David Langner at right side-back.
Langner, a hard-hitting,
small (5* 11", 180-pounds)
freshman, might provide the
most excitement of the after­noon,
in his matchup with
Beasley. He is an exciting
player who "keeps the re­ceivers
looking over their
shoulder for him," accord­ing
to Jordan.
"In all, we will be looking
for individual performances
tomorrow, since the unit ef­ficiency
will be reduced,"
said Jordan. "We've had a
real good spring. I've been
tremendously pleased with
the boys this year. They've
gotten out there every day
and shown some spirit, which
is hard to do in the hot
weather. I think they realize
how important this has been.
Being number one is no
accident for Janet Fox
By Debbie Wilson
Plainsman Sports Writer
Tennis anyone? Chances
are, if you wander up to the
tennis courts on any after­noon
this week, you'll find
one of the courts occupied
by a certain coed who has
tennis "on the brain." The
lady's name is Janet Fox,
and her interest in tennis
is more than that of just
an avid fan.
Janet is currently holding
the number one spot on
Auburn's extramural women's
tennis team. She came out
number one in the coed tour­nament
in Carrollton, Ga.,
three weeks ago and is work­ing
on doing it again in
her next match with Florida
State University tomorrow.
This love affair with ten­nis
began for Janet in the
ninth grade at her junior
high school in Copus Chris-ti,
Texas and is still going
on today. Coached by
Maureen Connally, Janet
kept plugging away at ten­nis
in a strong program at
Ray High School in Corpus
Christi, and was seeded num­ber
one in her age group
for the city. Janet went on
to capture the number two
spot in the 18-year-old
division for the state of
Texas.

Buddy Staggers (42) cnarges for the "pit" in a scrimmage
session. Staggers will be one of the running backs for the
blue squad in the annual A-Day game tomorrow, along with
Terry Henley and Terry Page. They are ail playing for Co-captain Tommy Yearout
while Pat Sullivan's white team has Terry Beasley and Sandy Cannon.
Hand-off
going on the tennis circuit
in her summer leisure time,
Janet joined with a teamate
to gain the number one title
in doubles in a state tour­nament.
This began a tradi­tion
as Janet entered the Uni­versity
of Texas and also
cinched the number one
collegiate doubles title with
another teamate her fresh­man
year.
Janet transferred to Auburn
her sophomore year and
under the coaching of Miss
Nanellen Lane, Janet has
continued to excell in ten­nis.
Playing number one,
she has won more matches
than any Auburn coed to date
in both singles and doubles.
With such a record, it is
easy to see how the current
misconception of Janet's
being a physical education
major got started. Actually,
however, she will be quick
to tell you that she is a
senior majoring in biology
Education and has a Spanish
minor. What she is more
reluctant in revealing is that
she has a 2.79 ove rail.
She is currently president
of Women's Intramural As­sociation
and is also vice-president
of the Spanish
honorary. Yet, with these
activities, Janet can find
to be an equally outstanding
volleyball player. She has
made all-star in thelast three
volleyball extramural tour­naments
in which she has
participated.
If you've caught your
breath and are still interested
in wandering up to the tennis
courts, look for Janet. She's
bound to be there, and she's
definitely a person worth
watching.

Tigers to play in
year's finale
The end of the 1971 base­ball
season for the Auburn
Tigers comes today and to­morrow
morning as the South
Alabama Jaguars and their
coach, former major league
manager, Eddie^tanky,' in­vade
for a two game series.
South Alabama, under
Stanky's leadership the past
few seasons, has developed
into one of the powerhouses
of all c o l l e g e baseball,
despite the small size of the
school. This year, the Jag­uars
have been rated in the
top twenty teams of the na­tion
for almost the entire
season.
If the outcome of the two
games against South Alabama
is a n y t h i n g like it was
against another n a t i o n al
power, though, then Auburn
would rather not play the
games. Monday and Tuesday,
it was the explosive bats of
the Florida State Seminoles
that sent Auburn to their
third and fourth s t r a i g ht
losses, 9-4 in the first game
and 6-5 in the second.
More than a week of in­activity
obviously hurt Au­burn's
Earl Nance, who was
bombed out of the first game
in the first inning, but came
back as a relief pitcher in
the second and threw more
than four innings ot score­less
ball. His horrendous
start in the first game, which
included three hits, three
walks, and a hit batsman,
allowed the Seminoles to
score five runs, a deficit
from which Auburn could
never recover.
Jack Van Yperen, the Ti­gers,
starter in the second
game, also got off to a poor
start as he allowed a three-run
homer. The Tigers were
not without fire power of their
own, though, as both Andy
Merchant and Jack Baker
slugged roundtrippers iwith a
man aboard in the first to
give Auburn a one run lead.
But, another FSU home run
in the second frame tied the
score, while yet another in
the fifth gave the Seminoles
a lead that they never relin­quished
.
Storting fine
Tomorrow's baseball
game against South Al­abama
will begin at 10
a,m. instead of the usual
2 p.m. in order to avoid
interference with the A-Day
game.

THE AUBURN PUINSMJW - 8 Friday, May 21,1971,
Four gropplers sign
athletic grants
Auburn wrestling coach Arnold Umbach has gone to two
of the strongest wrestling states in the nation for four
recruits in an attempt to improve last year's second place
finish in the SEC.
Trent Miller and brothers
Don and Davis Cathey, all
from Classen High School
in Oklahoma City, and Dan
Borst of Cedar Rapids, Iowa
have signed grants-in-aid
with Auburn and will be
eligible for competition next
year.
A former University of
Oklahoma student, Miller
served his year of ineligi­bility
at Auburn last year.
David Cathey is a graduate
of Oscar Rose Jr. College
and will be eligible next
year.
Miller and David Cathey
could fill the 134 and 126
spots vacated by seniors Del
Alley and Jim Voss while
Dan Cathey will be battling
Eddie Rew and Greg West
for a starting spot at 118.
Bast, who normally
weighs 205, is a 190 pound­er
during the season and
Umbach feels that the ad­dition
of Borst at that weight
could enable 190 pound SEC
champion George Calloway
to drop to the pound
to drop to the 177 pound
class where Calloway thinks
he is strongest.
"I am pleased with the
boys that we have recruited."
said Umbach. "Trent- is
very skilled and could be
one of our best wrestlers
next year. "Don Cathey will
be in a tough weight class
at 118 but his brother David,
should be a starter at 126."
Umbach is impressed with
the mostrecentsignee , Borst
who has only been wrestling
for two years.
"Dan is a tall boy, about
6'4" and normally weighs
about 205, but wrestles 190,"
said Umbach. "He played
basketball for two years in
high school but decided to
try wrestling in his junior
year, and only lost one of
his matches."
Of the 23 wins that Borst
accumulated in his two years
at Marrior High School, 19
were by falls.
Judo
tournament
held here
Sunday, the First Annual
Auburn Invitational Judo
Tournament with competition
to begin at 12 p.m. will be
held in the Memorial Coli­seum.
At present, nearly 50
clubs and college teams of
the Southeast are expected
to appear for the engagement.
Those school teams in­clude
Alabama, Florida State
and Georgia. Teams from At­lanta
and New Orleans are
also expected. After the for­mal
competition, however,
there may be an additional
team match between Atlanta
and FSU.
"Some of the best com­petition
of the Southeast will
be on hand as either com­petitors
or as judges." said
Steve Rosenblum, 4BC, a
black-belt and player-coach
of the Auburn Judo Team,
The tournament is tree to

PlCK-Off Florida State tries to pick him off. Auburn lost two games
to the Seminoles, and now must face another fine baseball
team in the South Alabama Jaguars today and tomorrow. Tomorrow's game begins
at 10 a.m.
Merchant ^Martin
named to A ll-SEC
For the second year in a
row, Auburn's Andy Mer­chant
has been named the
SEC's number one catcher,
and this season he has been
joined by the conference's
leading hitter, Joey Martin,
on the league's all-star
squad.
Merchant, as a result of
his .313 batting average and
sparkling defensive play,
was selected over some
other outstanding catchers
in the SEC, including Flor­ida's
Will Harmon. Merchant
was also named to the East­ern
Division team for the
third year in a row.
Joey Martin, who played
left field, third base, and
catcher at some time or an­other
during the season,
was named to the star team
for the first time in his four
year career at Auburn.
His .441 average through
the regular conference sche­dule
was by far the lead-ung
mark in the conference.
He has also stolen 12 bases
this season, in addition to
his fine hitting and great
usefulness as a multi-posi­tion
man. Martin was also
named ta the Eastern Di­vision
team.
And for the second year
in a row, Pete Rancont
has been named the Eastern
Division's best shortstop.
Rancont has hit at over the
.300 mark for both of these
seasons.

Men's Intramurals
dominates
PKT,PGD,KS win
By Richard Little
Plainsman Intramurals Editor
The arm dominated the bat
last Thursday as three fine
pitching performances were
turned in by the fraternities.
Ronnie Dye's shutout of
the SPEs highlighted the
action, and allowed thePhi
Kappa Tau's to come away
with a 15-1 slaughter. Dye
gave up only three hits and
two salks, while striking out
one and aiding his own cause
with a home run.
The Phi Gamma Delta's
Bill Glasscock turned in
three hit performances in
coasting to a 10-1 victory
over the Alpha Psi's Glass­cock
struck out four of the
Alpha Psi's, while walking
only three.
The Kappa Sigs walked
away with a 15-1 victory
over the Chi Phi's behind
the two-hit pitching of Sam
Hunter, who also struck out
eight.
Seven of the games rained
out on April 29 will be re­played
today at 4:15. These
games, all vital to the stand­ings,
are as follows: KS-AP;
LCA-DE; PKP-ATO; TC-OTS;
Cherokee Indians-
Pranksters; Daddy Wags-Ar­nold
Air Society; and Wills
Raiders-Wesley Foundation.
The Beta Theta Pi's cap­tured
the badminton champi­onship
last Thursday night
by defeating the Kappa Al­pha's.

out to stop any chances of a four-year sweep by Sullivan
and Beasley. Any team, though, could catch Auburn at a
bad time and come away with a win. Remember Ole Miss-
Southern Mississippi last fall.
On the national level, Auburn will probably be picked as
the top team in the nation by some polls, but the important
ones, AP and UPI, will have the Tigers fifth or sixth behind
Nebraska, Notre Dame, Texas, and Arkansas. Auburn wlll
finally get to go to the Sugar Bowl after dreams of going
for the past few years. There they will meet Nebraska in
a game that could very well decide the mythical national
championship.
Pat Sullivan will be the heavy pre-season choice to win
the Heisman Trophy and will be challenged for that honor
by Tom Gatewood of Notre Dame and Sonny Sixkiller of
Washington. Sullivan has an advantage over both of these
though, because Gatewood is a lineman, and they have a
hard time winning the award, and Sixkiller is a junior, a
group that has an even harder time of grabbing the trophy.
I will not predict the winner of the trophy, however, because
no one can say what sports writers are going to do.
My last prediction is that if even one of my predictions
comes true, I will retire from college, jet to the mountains
of India, and take my rightful place beside the Maharishi
Mahesh Yogi. Anyone that smart or Lucky has no business
being sports editor of a newspaper.

Harriers finish sixth in SEC,
Breskr brothers sweep 440
By Jerry Hester
Assistant Sports Editor
Auburn finished a disap­pointing
sixth place in the
outdoor meet of the SEC
behind powerhouses Ten­nessee
and Florida, as well
as behind Kentucky, Alabama
and LSU.
The only bright spot for
the Tigers in the meet was
the spectacular performance
of Alvin and Milton Bresler,
who finished first and sec­ond
in the 440 yd. inter­mediate
hurdles.
Other than that fine show­ing,
Auburn could do no
better than fifth and sixth
places. Dennis Berry, who
finished in sixth place in
the pole vault, and Tim
Curry, sixth in the 440 inter­mediates
were pleasant sur­prises.
Other scorers for the Ti­gers
were Steve Bear, sixth
in the high jump, and Tommy
Newdome, also sixth in the
high jump. Finishing in
fifth place were both the
440 and mile relay teams.
Alvin Bresler's winning
time in the hurdles was
51.6 and Milton's was 52.0.
These times qualify both
of them for the national
meet to be held JR Seattle,
Washington later trus momn. Alvin would be ranicea about
Rated with times recorded fifth and Milton would be
around the nation this spring, ninth.

Auburn: 'Home' for Mohamed, Zahir, Byung, Manouchehr. . .
The menu was tuna fish sandwiches. The background
music filtering through the speakers of the stereo was
hard rock American-style. A long-haired blonde perched
dantily on the arm of a chair while a young man rough-housed
with a large black dog. Three other young men
lounged around the room munching on sandwiches and
trading good-natured insults. The atmosphere was celebra­tory:
Mohamed had passed his orals.
The four young men were Egyptians: brothers Youssef
and Mohamed Mansour and their cousins, Sherif Maghraby
and Amr Rizk. They are among 132 foreign students here
who have, with varying degrees of success and happiness,
established themselves for a time in an American univer­sity.
"Honestly, I've had people ask me, 'Do you have a
camel?'" Mohamed, 6BA, laughed.
He admits to misconceptions about Americans too: "I
thought every American was a millionare."
Youssef, 6BA, recalled how nis father, who came to
the United States on business trips, would tell his sons
about the skyscrapers and swimming pools at every house.
New York City matched his father's description, but
Youssef told about his amazement as he approached
Raleigh , R.C.: "I saw signs, Raleigh five miles, then
Raleigh three miles and then Raleigh city limits. And I
saw nothing but small houses!''
Youssef came to the United States 10 years ago at the
age of 16. He got two B.S. degrees, one in textile tech­nology
and one in textile chemistry, at North Carolina
State in Raleigh. In September, 1969, he came to Auburn
to get a Masters in business administration.
He visited Egypt for three months this past summer.
"For the first two months I didn't feel at ease. When
I didn't feel like talking, I didn't," he said, explaining
that in Egypt his behavior was considered a serious
lapse of etiquette. Or, as Mohamed puts it, "If your
mother died today and company were to come, you'd
have to smile."
Mohamed has been in the United States for nine years.
He got a B.S. in textile technology at N.C. State and
enrolled at Auburn with Youssef.
Maghraby, 3ME, has been here two-and-a-half years,
and Rizk, 4GB, since October. (He attended the Univer­sity
of Alexandria in Egypt before coming here.)
The four relatives converse in either English, Arabic
or French.
Zahir Rawajifih, 9AY, is a native of Jordan, although
he came to the U.S. from Lebanon where he did both his
undergraduate and Masters study at the, American Univer­sity
of Beirut.
Since he started learning English in the fifth grade
and used it regularly in Beirut, he has not had the problems
with language many foreign students encounter.
"Stack' at fnagnok...
According to Rawajifih, his biggest letdown on coming
to Auburn involved housing. He arrived from Beirut on the
last day of registration and did not have a place to live.

first in the Model United Nations general assembly
competition recently. Second place went to Indian
delegates Murli Kalro, 6BA, and Naval Modani, 6IE.
"I asked to stay in Magnolia Dormitory for a few days
until I could find a place to stay since I had to register
and didn't have time to look for a place to live too," he
said.
The University refused his request so he had to sign a
contract to live in the dormitory for three quarters.
' 'I was stuck there for three quarters and all I wanted
to do was stay a few days," he commented.
Byung Hong Chung, 6ADS, is from Seoul, the capital
city of Korea. Seoul has a population of almost four mil­lion,
according to Chung.
He comments about small-town Auburn with a wry smile,
"Auburn is a good place to study." To get the Oriential
foods they usually eat, the Chungs must go to speciality
food shops in Columbus, Ga.
Although Chung noted that his wife does "get a lot
homesick" and that he doesn't know his next-door neigh­bors
at Caroline Draughon Apartments, he and his wife do
enjoy the companionship of an American couple here.
Southern accent...
Chung came to Auburn last year as a .graduate student.
He has studied English, but says he still has trouble
understanding some of his professors, especially if they
have a marked Southern accent.
"But if I don't understand the lecture, I read the book
and get what I need from it," he said.
Two students, OopathanPawaputanon, 6FM, and Charoen
Phanil, 6FM, came to Auburn from Thailand on scholarships
from the Agency of International Development which is
financed by the UJS. government.
"Auburn's fisheries are said to be the best. That is why
we came here," said Pawaputanon.
Since neither Pawaputanon or Phanil have a car, they
said one of their main gripes is having to pay exorbitant
rent for housing close to campus because the less expen­sive
housing further away is inaccessible to them and many
other foreign students without cars.
Taiwanese Jimmy Yang, 6SP, came here to study mass
media techniques since he hopes to be an actor and movie
producer. He worked part-time while in school in Taiwan
to finance his education here.
Yang's parents are Buddhists, but he has no religious
restrictions on his diet since he is a Protestant. He shares
Americans' liking for steak, fried chicken, pie and ice
cream.
"Hamburgers I just don't like," he admits.
According to Yang, many young Chinese are Christians
although most of the young Chinese students here do not
attend church because they feel like a "somewhat lonely"
minority.
He blames a communication-or language- gap for the
problem, noting that Chinese students have started their
own Bible study groups so that they can worship in Chinese.
Attitudes on marriage •••
Dating poses some problems here, said Yang, since
Southern society objects to American girls dating, and
possibly marrying, a Chinese.
In his own country. Yang said the older more conserva­tive
generation's attitudes toward such marriages are
changing: "Americans are so greatly admired by the Chinese
that many no longer object to their sons and daughters
marrying Americans."
Manouchehr Barzegar, 6EE, came to the United States
from Iran in 1960, and to Auburn in September, 1969.
"You hear so much about the country and the people. I
wanted to fiid out about the way of life here, to see how
the people live," he said.
Barzegar believes the United States is going through
a crucial period of "rapid evolution, almost revolution.
This may not be particularly bad. The young people are
asking for more responsibility and talking about things their
parents never thought of."
Many people in this country are ignorant about other
religions in the world," he commented.
"I have had some good discussions about religion, but
I have also met many people who wanted only to convert
me from my own religion (Mohammedanism)," he said.
He and his American wife, whom he met at the Indiana
Institute of Technology, will return to Iran this summer.
Thanos Prakouras, 9ME, first came to Auburn from
Greece in 1961. He got a B.S. in mechanical engineering
in 1963 and then got his Masters in 1966 at the University
of Utah, returning to Auburn this fall to work on his
doctorate.
By now Prakouras feels at ease in an American class­room.
But that hasn't always been the case. He recalls his
first day of class in Samford Hall: the professor walked in
and immediately Prakouras, who was sitting at the front
of the room, stood up at attention. This is the customary
procedure in his native country. Prakouras explained,
although his classmates were startled by his action.
Prakouras said he prefers the American educational
system because in Greece students were not allowed to
ask professors questions and classes extended over an
entire school year with only one exam scheduled.
Here for insects-
Sawarng Charoenying, 6ZY, is from Thailand. He came
to Auburn because of the insects.
Insects in this section of jthe South are similar to \ the
ones in Thailand, Charoenying explained. He got his
Masters degree at Michigan State, but the climate there
was too cold,to study insects so he came here.
Another plus factor for Auburn according to Charoenying,
is that people here are friendlier than those in Michigan.

foreign children let their mothers worry about "adjustment.'
Language, adjustment difficulties
tackled in informal classes
"How are you?" The re­ply
comes: "Oh, fair to mid­dling
I guess." Puzzled, a
foreign student wonders si­lently
at the response.
Idioms are a constant
source of confusion for
foreign students or their
wives, according to Mrs.
Ernest Allgood, a retired
teacher who conducts an in­formal
class in conversa­tional
English for the wives
of foreign students here.
About 20 wives partici­pate
in the class which meets
every Thursday night at 7:30
at some member's home.
"Wetry to keep the lesson
flexible to meet their needs,"
said Mrs. Allgood.
Besides idioms, many of
the people have trouble with
the pronunciation of conso­nants
such as "th," "v" or
"w" which don't exist in
some foreign languages.
Homonyms such as "blew"
and "blue" are also con­fusing,
Mrs. Allgood com­mented.
The language students
help each other, and if some­one
needs special help, Mrs.
Allgood will give individual
assistance.
Another group organized
to help foreign wives adjust
to life in the United States
is led by Mrs. Grace Poli-doro.
Some 50 people parti­cipate
in this group which
meets every Tuesday morn­ing,
also on a .rotational

The emphasis is on prac­tical
information: wives

she will be taken to the Lee

does meet for those members
wishing to attend.
English proficiency is one
of the most important factors
in determining whether or
not to admit a foreign stu­dent
to Auburn Univeristy,
according to Tommy R.
Elliot, assistant director of
admissions for undergraduate
students.
All students must score a
minimum 500 points on an
800-point scale on the Test
of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL) before
they can be considered for
admission, said Elliot.
Students must also take
the Scholastic Aptitude Test
(SAT) which is available in
foreign languages. Although
foreign students may have
studied in school systems
set up quite differently from
those in the United States,
the SAT provides an accurate
index of the students'educa­tional
background and ability
to compete with American
students in an American
school, Elliot said.
The foreign students must
have a minimum score of
850, the same minimum
score required of American
students, on the SAT.
As with American students,
official transcripts of secon­dary
school grades are re­quired
and transfer students
from colleges in other coun­tries
or from colleges in the
U.S. must also provide
transcripts of their college
grades.

A fourth requirement is
that students provide a state­ment

person or organization.

In many cases, a student
will apply for admission as
a graduate student who has
graduated from a college re­quiring
only three years for
completion of undergraduate
study, said Elliot.
The student will be ad­mitted
as an undergraduate.
It is then up to whatever de­partment
the student enrolls
in here to decide how many

required to complete the

in that curriculum here.

At the present time, 32 for­eign
students are enrolled at
the undergraduate level.
The graduate school has
the largest percentage of
foreign students with 100
now enrolled.
To get into graduate'
school, foreign students
must also meet the 500-point
minimum requirement on the
TOEFL, according to gradu­ate
school registrar Mrs. Re-
'becca Roden.
They must score at least
500 on the quantitative part
of the Graduate Record Exam
(GRE) or have a combined
quantitative-verbal score of
800. Some departments re­quire
scores higher than the
minimum ones for the GRE,
Mrs. Roden said.
Foreign students are ire-quired
to have a B average
on their undergraduate work,
although some departments
require an A average.
Applicants to the grad­uate
school must also pro-'
vide a statement of finan­cial
sufficiency signed by
a sponsor and, in addition,
the sponsor must provide
certified evidence (possibly
from a bank) of his ability
to fulfill the sponsorship.
Although scholarships, fel­lowships,
assistantships,
grants-in-aid and loans are
generally not available to
foreign students during their
first year here, according
to a statement at the bottom
of the official financial
statement mailed to all ap-licants,
any such assist­ance
is credited toward a
sponsorship, said Mrs. Ro­den.
Foreign student advisor gives help with unique problems

One American member of
the group, Mrs. John Jeffers,
explained that although the
group was originally started
by the First Baptist Church,
no special emphasis is
placed on religion. However,
a special Sunday school
For security, Linus has

have Lowell Ledbetter.
"Because foreign students
are so far from home, any
problems they have are in­tensified
by distance" says
foreign student advisor Led­better.
"For instance, if a
foreign student has financial
difficulties, he can't just
call home and say, 'Look, I
need some more money.' "
A foreign student can also
have problems with the
language, housing or an un-forseen
emergency like an
operation which costs more
than an insurance policy
covers).
Ledbetter's job is to help
foreign students work around
these problems or, where
possible, prevent other prob­lems
from occurring.
Foreign students are not
recruited, said Ledbetter,
although brochures about Au­burn
are distributed by the
State Department and such
organizations as the Insti­tute
of International Educa­tion
and Friends of the Mid­dle
East.

by the University.
Foreign students are sent
special brochures which give
such information as average
temperature here and the
range of available housing.
The University will not
arrange housing for a foreign
student because too many
problems could iresult if he
were dissatisfied, said Led­better.
A -special orientation is
scheduled in September for
incoming foreign students.
Immigration regulations are
explained and the students
get a tour of the campus.
Finances...
Finances cause recurring
problems among foreign stu­dents,
said Ledbetter, al­though
he e s t i m a t e s the
"more frugal" foreign stu­dents
cut their expenses (be­sides
tuition) to half what an
average American student
spends.
Undergraduate foreign stu­dents
have the added burden
of paying double the tuition

students do not have .to

Two years ago, a portion
of the money in the Emer­gency

aside just for foreign stu­dents.
They can borrow up
