All Crisis Center
to advise, counsel
By Carmel Parsons
Plainsman Staff Writer
The Auburn Crisis Center, volunteer assistance and coun­seling
service, begins operation tonight at 6 for a straight
48-hour session, with hopes of helping individuals adjust to
problems resultant of the cultural revolution.
The Center will be a 24-hour
weekend telephone referral ser­vice
staffed by trained personnel
from Auburn and lotal communi­ties.
The purpose of the Crisis Cen­ter
will be to refer troubled in­dividuals
to sources of immediate
assistance and counseling. Phy­sicians,
psychologists, minis­ters,
lawyers, and agencies of
local governments in Auburn,
Opelika, and Lee County have
helped in the establishment of
the Center, whose purpose is to'
create a service that will aid
members of the entire community
as well as students of the Uni­versity.
Training of personnel for the
Center began April 3. The first
group of volunteers having been

WEGL, Auburn's new campus
radio station, has once again
postponed broadcasting because
of a delay in processing its
license papers by the Federal
Communications Commission in
Washington D.C., Station Man­ager
Rene Brinsfield stated
Wednesday.
The station which was sched­uled
to go on the air Wednesday
at 3 p.m. will probably begin
broadcasting Sunday at noon
during an open house at the
station's studios in Haley Center.
screened, tested, and given a 40-
hour training program will begin
work this weekend on a four-hour
shift basis. The next training
session will begin in May. Any
interested individual may call
826-4744 anytime or the Crisis
Center number 821-8600, on
weekends.
Financing of the Center has
been through donations from the
All-Campus Fund Drive, the Re­ligious
Affairs Committee, and
memorial gifts and pledges from
various individuals and civic
groups. Plans are being made to
extend the Center to a seven-day,
24-hour service when funds
are available.
Problems directed to the Cen­ter
will be on a telephone basis
only. All calls will be kept con­fidential
and callers may remain
anonymous, asmembers feel suc­cess
can only come through keep­ing
confidence with those
seeking assistance.
Judging from the experience of
similar centers already in opera­tion,
the board members antici­pate
that the most common prob­lems
will stem from the use of
drugs, stress and depression,
and unwanted pregnancies. The
Crisis Center, however, iswilling
to assist in any problem regard­less
of how inconsequential it
may appear on the surface.
Verbal commitments of support
for the activities of the Crisis
Center have been received from
the mayor of Auburn, the chief of
police of Auburn, the sheriff of
Lee County, Lee County Hospi­tal,
and the Lee County Mental
Health Center.
For further information on the
Crisis Center or to volunteer,
call 826-4360 or 826-4234.

p.m. on Thursday.
"Women's liberation is men's
liberation, too," says Miss
Steinem, a New York journalist-
"Free of 19th-century roles,
we can share a better life that
goes far beyond the kitchen
and the bedroom."
Miss Steinem and Mrs. Pitman
will held a lecture* program and
conduct several panel discussion
encounter groups, for men and
women.
Horizons Symposium, sponsor­ing
the event, plans to involve
the two advocates of the move­ment
in campus activities related
to the Auburn coed. Each have
been sent a copy of "Co-etiquet­te,"
the official handbook of
Associated Women's Students
rules for Auburn coeds, as well
as several Plainsman articles
pertaining to campus issues to
review, so they may be acquaint­ed
with and oriented to the
Auburn campus and the effects
of the movement here.
Miss Steinem, one of the
country's New Journalists and
known for her presentation of
ideas, has t written for such
magazines as'McCall's," "Gla­mour,"
"Life," "Look." "Es­quire,"
and "The New York
Times." She is also . a,
regular contributing editor for
"New York" magazine, in which

Movement.
Mrs. Pitman is a member of
the Day Care Task Force ap­pointed
by New York's mayor
John Lindsay and was asked
by the New York State Legis­lature
to help write new day

After moving to New York for
work as a domestic following
her graduation from high school
in Lumpkin, Ga., Mrs. Pitman's
varied range of life experiences
included running a laundry from
her own kitchen, singing and
running a night club, and orga­nizing
for the National Congress
of Racial Equality (CORE).
A working mother faced with
the care of two small daughters,
she founded and directs a com­munity-
controlled day care
center, which has a more educa­tional
and less custodial func­tion
as its goal. She is also
involved in the direction of a
community-controlled public
school as well.
In case of rain, the lecture

The purpose of AUMUN is to
provide a learning experience
for students so they may become
familiar with the workings and
importance of the United Nations.
Gabriel, also known as the
"Diplomat's Commentator,"
came to his present post as
chief of the UN Bureau of the
Transradio News Agency with
the founding of the United Na­tions
in 1945. He has covered
several major world conferences
of historic importance.
Approximately 150 students,
including 30 students from eight
universities within the state and
a group of military officers from
Ft. Benning, Ga., are particip­ating
in the program which be­gan
Thursday and ends Saturday.
Some 60 nations are represent­ed,
and each delegation is
composed of four members. Sev­eral
delegations were organized
among Auburn's international
students who represent their
own countries.
Delegates have had two weeks
to familiarize themselves with
the policies of the countries
which they represent.
Delegations submitted resolu­tions
of major international
interest to be reviewed and voted
on by the committees in either
the Security Council or General
Assembly.

will be held at the SGA of- ,
fice during April 26-29 and
May 3-4. A listing of the
positions available will be
found in the "Tiger Cub"
under the SGA section.
All interested students
whether having served on
SGA committees or not, are
urged to go by or call the
SGA office (826-4240) to
arrange a convenient time to
meet with SGA President
Jimmy Tucker.
Tucker speech vows
constructive change
"We will work with the ad­ministration
in all areas and
at all times," said newly-elected
Student Government
Association President Jimmy
Tucker, "but we will not be
awed or stifled by tneir seem­ing
omnipotence."
Speaking at the annual SGA
Officers' Installation Banquet
Wednesday night, Tucker said
that the task of his administra­tion
will be to "adequately con­tribute
to the well-being of the
students," which we represent.
"At all times we in student
government must be cognizant of
the needs, desires, and objec­tives
or our fellow students," he
continued, and "in order to im­plement
constructive change, we
must join the fissure that some­times
separates student govern­ment
and the administration, as
well as that gap between students
themselves."
Also speaking at the banquet,.
Jimmy Tucker, 3ME, was
elected president of the Stu­dent
Government Associa­tion
by a margin of 94 votes
in a runoff election last
Friday. Of the 3250 votes
cast, Tucker received 54 per
cent, or 1672 votes to de­feat
his opponent Bill Ste-gall,
3ME, who received
1578 votes.
where all newly-elected student
senators and SGA executives
were administered the oath of
office by Pres. Harry M. Philpott,
outgoing SGA President Jimmy
Brennan described what he
thought had been learned by the
SGA officers during the last year.
"First, we learned that, con­trary
to popular opinion, most
University administrators will
'tell it to you straight' and are
working as we are, for the better­ment
of Auburn," he said.
"Under no circumstances will
Auburn change . overnight,"
Brennan continued, "or for that
matter change dramatically over
one year. The real payoff in
student government must be the
yearly contribution towards a
dramatic, if not revolutionary
change in our university's struc­ture
and attitudes."
Among the major accomplish­ments
of this year's SGA listed
by Brennan were the "completely
new and workable football ticket
distribution system, off-campus
association, a sweeping
radical proposal for discipline
revision, the formation of a po­tentially
beneficial student-faculty
relationships committee,
and finally the opening of a
campus radio station."
"We are proud of our ac­complishments
this past year,"
Brennan concluded, but "we
hope for continued progress and
even better results from student
government in 1972.
Newly elected members
SW0m III of the Student Senate
were sworn in by Pres.
Harry M. Philpott Wednesday at the SGA Instal­lation
Banquet which was held at the Holiday
Inn East in Opelika. President Philpott ex­pressed
confidence in the senators and con­gratulated
outgoing SGA officers for a job well
done.
Teacher Evaluation booklets
available during registration
Three thousand new Student
Government A s s o c i a t i on
Teacher-Course Evaluation
booklets will go on sale dur­ing
registration early next
week for 25 cents.
The purpose of the booklet
is to give students in the Schools
of Agriculture, Arts and Sciences,
Business, Education, Engi­neering
and Home Economics
a statistical picture of their
teachers and courses prior to
registration.
Bert Rice, director of the
Teacher-Course Evaluation com­mittee,
stated that, "of the
24,000 questionnaires sent out
10,000 were returned. Compared
[JJIjf'L J°s n McDowell, who calls himself a rev-
'^J^mM olutionary, spoke to standing room only

afternoon. His appearances are sponsored by the Campus Cru­sade
for Christ. For more details see page 3, col. 1.
to last year's results (1,400 were
returned out of 13,500) you can
see the difference."
A major reason for the improved
returns, Rice said, is due to a
change in the method of dis­tributing
the questionnaires to
students. Last year, question­naires
were distributed in The
Plainsman. This year, however,
separate questionnaires for every
student were given to each
teacher, who was asked to have
his students fill out the forms
in class.
"This year's booklet contains
several times as much informa­tion
as last year's, for one-third
the price." he added. "We have
had tremendous cooperation with
the administration, especially
the Teaching Effectiveness Com­mittee,
and with the students
who worked organizing the
material."
Each question on various
aspects of the course and class
was answerable numerically
with a choice ranging from 1-poor
to 5-outstanding. The booklet
contains an average of all res­ponses
to each question Aver­ages
were compiled by the Uni­versity's
computer.
Also included are answers
from each teacher on course
evaluation. Questions were:
Give a brief summary of (1) the
content of the course, (2) outside
class work, (3) suggested back­ground
other than prerequisites,
(4) computation of final grade,
(5) attendance policy and (6)
comments.
Only courses of the 200, 300
and 400 level with 10 or more
students enrolled were included
in the survey.

Poisoning affects 40 dogs
Forty cases of dog poison­ings
in the city have been
treated by Auburn veterinar­ians
since Christmas.
The most common poison
encountered is strychnine,
which was a popular rat poi­son
but can no longer be pur­chased
"over the counter."
However, Dr. R.D. Home,
professor of small animal
surgery and medicine at the
Auburn Small Animal Clinic,
said "Strychnine lasts a
long time; some bought years
ago would still be effective
today."
Home said he knew the
Small Animal Clinic had
treated between 15 and 20
dogs for poisoning since
Christmas, and Dr. J.E. Said-la,
a local veterinarian, said
he has treated at least 25
cases from Auburn and the
surrounding community in the
same period.
Dr. Home expressed the
following opinion: "There's
really no way to tell for sure
whether or not these cases,
or even some of these cases,
are accidental or malicious,
that is, intentionally done.
Very few cases have been
proven."
"But," he continued, "I
know of one dog that was
brought to us three times in
two weeks to be treated for
poisoning. Dogs eat poison
left in uncovered containers."
Dr. Home explained thai,
every year during late> win­ter
and spring, there is an
upsurge in the number of
poison cases he handles. He
hinted at a possible connec­tion
between the poisoning of
dogs and people dusting a-round
their homes with chlor-dane
to control ants, water
bugs and other insects.
Dr. Saidla described the
effect of strychnine as: "It
starts in the lips and pro­ceeds
through the body. The
dog's legs stiffen, yet there
is increased hyperactivity-culminating
in a convulsion.
After that he is completely
relaxed, but any sudden mo­tion
can send him into an­other
convulsion. Without
treatment, most dogs will
die."

A i r-conditioning service
for the general campus will
begin on May 1. Until then,
only buildings with excep­tional
needs will be air-con­ditioned.
Dr. H. F. V a l l e r y,
assistant to the president,
said that the move is an
economy measure. "We will
save thousands of dollars
by having w a i t e d a few
weeks longer to turn on the
air-conditioning units," he
"stated.
Vallery also reported that
some buildings, such as
Funchess Hall, Duns t an
Hall, the Home Economics
Building, and dorms whose
occupants are paying for air-conditioning
are already re­ceiving
the service.
"In Funchess and the
Home Ec Building, experi­ments
are under way that re-q
u i r e controlled tempera­tures.
Engineering equipment
in Dunstan showed signs of
malfunctioning due to the
temperature, and those stu­dents
who have paid for air-conditioning
are going to
get it. That's why some
buildings are air-conditioned'
and others not," he said.
"We are tightening our
b e l t s , so to s p e a k , and
everyone has been coopera­tive,
so far, realizing the
utility of this measure," he
added. Air-conditioning was
originally scheduled to be­gin
around April 1.

Due to problems con­cerning
drugs and alcohol,
no "rock festival" concerts
will be held using Univer­sity
facilities in the near
future.
In a letter addressed to
Katharine Carter, dean of
women and chairman of the
Social Life Committee,
Pres. Harry M. Philpott asked
that a study be made by
the Social Life Committee
on the problems involved
when such concerts are
sponsored.
Dean of Student Affairs
James E. Foy said that
four concerts had been held
this year in Graves Amphi­theatre,
two in the Student
Activities Building and
two in the Union Building.
The concerts have been open
and free to the public, with
a variety of musical groups
performing.
Dean Foy said that Uni­versity
officials requested
that the concerts be moved
from Graves to the Student
Activities Building or the
Auburn Union in hope that
state, national, and Uni­versity
laws regarding use
of alcohol and drugs could
be enforced.
Chief Millard Dawson of
the University Police told
Foy, however, that the size
of the crowds at the con­certs
made it difficult for
police to prevent violations
of drug and alcohol laws,
even when the concerts
were held indoors.
Foy said that other pro­blems
had been present at
the concerts. At times,
groups performing ' 'never
wanted to leave" even after
the concert was scheduled
to end. Attendance of high
school students and other
non - University students,
according to Foy, had also
caused some difficulties.
The Social Life Commit­tee
will meet Tuesday to
begin study on the problems
involved with the concerts.
Until the committee reports,
no concerts will be held.

Theologian's speech
draws packed house
a After an extensive
promotional cam­paign,
the Campus Crusade
for Christ presented "Josh"
to a packed house in the
Union Ballroom Wednesday
night. Blackboards in class­rooms
around the campus
served all week as part of
the promotion: "Josh is
coming!" read one; another
said, "Are you man enough
to hear Josh talk about
sex?"
Josh McDowell did not
speak about sex Wednesday
night, however; his topic
was "Resurrection-Fact or
Fallacy." For about an hour,
McDowell, a young theolo­gian
and a "magna cum
laude" graduate of Talbott
Theological Seminary, dis­cussed
the "fantastic claim"
of the resurrection of Christ.
According to McDowell,
the validity of Christianity
is based on three creden­tials:
the impact of Christi­anity
on history, the fulfill­ment

Point by point, McDowell
examined the details of the

the size of the rock covering
Christ's tomb, the Roman
custodians and the nature of
the embalming compounds.
McDowell said that proof of
the event was rooted in
"historical evidence."
Applying his conclusions
to his personal convictions,
McDowell exclaimed that
"Jesus is alive!" He said
three questions are greatly
associated with his convic­tion:
"Who am I," "Why am
I here," and "Where am I
going"?
McDowell said that lie
was personally challenged
by some of his professors
in college to make a rational
examination of the evidence
of Christ's validity. The
conclusions he drew were
among the factors leading to
his conviction.
Claiming that his life was
"totally changed," McDow­ell
saidhe learned to "love"
his father whom he had hated
all of his life. The conver­sion
of his father, "the town
drunk," was the next logi­cal
step in his Christian ex­perience.
Emphasizing that "Chris­tianity
is not something you
force down someone's
throat," McDowell invited
Christians to "share" their
faith. After the speech, the
audience was asked to com­ment
on "Josh" on blank
cards passed out for that
purpose. McDowell spoke
Thursday on "Sex and the
Singleton."

Thousands will march
WASHINGTON, D.C.-Thousands of students, vet­erans,
and others from across the country are here
preparing for tomorrow's march on the U.S. capitol
in this spring's first anti-war offensive sponsored by
. the national Student Mobilization Committee. Washing­ton
police are beefing up their forces in preparation
for the march as politicians and inhabitants of the
area brace for what is planned to be a peaceful pro­test.
Students from the two major universities in Alabama
will be at the demonstration. Several carloads of Mo­bilization,
members and others left Auburn Thursday
and today, and a busload of persons are making the
trip from the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
Earlier in the week, tables were set up on the campuses
as sign-up locations for transportation to the march,
return of the nickel pay phone in Alabama, as symbolic
of directives to his spokesmen and legislative rep­resentatives
to fight for current bills that would restrict
the power of utilities. Apparently angry at the rate
hike request by South Central Bell Telephone Co.,
Wallace, said, "I have already directed my representa­tives
to oppose (the measure). My representatives have
MONTGOMERY, Ala.-Gov. George Wallace, pro­testing
requests for rate increases, has proposed a
already intervened in opposition to the applications
of Alabama Power Co. and Alabama Gas Co. with the
Public Service Commission seeking substantial in­creases
in gas and electric rates in Alabama. ••
Referring to utility bills that have recently passed
the House and are soon to face the Senate, Wallace
also remarked, "These bills will be the first legisla­tive
step in 50 years to provide more effective utility
regulation."
ASHVILLE, Ala.-Following the second poisoning
of some of their animals in 13 months, the Black
Muslims are moving cattle from their controversial
farm in St. Clair Co. to a second farm in Greene Co.
Officials toured the farm and confirmed 22 dead cattle,
apparently poisoned by a white substance mixed with
grain and left in a secluded corner of the farm. Just
several weeks ago, farm manager John Davis purchased
90 head of cattle and put them on the farm.
The Muslim owned and operated farm has been the
object of much controversy and violence since the
purchase of the land in 1969 by the black cult. To
date, a house and a barn have been burned and
several animals shot or poisoned. In March of last
year, the remnants of the herd first poisoned were
transferred to the Muslim farm in Greene Co.

Crisis Center
In spite of the unfortunate provi­sion
that you may flip out as long as
you do it within the 48-hour period
beginning at 6 p.m. Friday, the open­ing
of the Crisis Center is very pos­sibly
the best thing that has happened
to Auburn this year.
A number of persons have worked
long and hard to make the Crisis Cen­ter
a reality. They are not the kind
who would want their names men­tioned,
but they know who they are,
and to the quiet satisfaction we know
they feel after a job well done, we
would like to add our accolades.
The Crisis Center grew from a
heartening dual effort by the com­munity
and the University. High
school students, college students,
faculty members, administrators, and
community leaders all pitched in.
Their spirit of agape-unselfish
brotherly love-will accomplish un­told
good when it is extended to the
individuals with emotional and per­sonal
problems who will call the
Crisis Center.
We urge campus and community or­ganizations
to support the Crisis
Center with money and manpower.
Here is a chance for a little to do a
great deal for a great many.
Let's open the Crisis Center 24
hours a day.
Presidents
We were impressed by the sincerity
and maturity of outlook which marked
the addresses of outgoing SGA Pres­ident
Jimmy Brennan and incoming
President Jimmy Tucker at Wednes­day's
inaugural banquet.
Among the things which Brennan
said his administration had learned
during the year was the danger of
"power coupled with a little know­ledge,"
which he said had been
misused during the year by student
leaders, Plainsman writers, and ad­ministrators.
We sensed-and we hope it was not
just our imagination-a feeling of
respect among those at the banquet;
new and old student leaders, Plains­man
writers, and the administrators
who each year watch them come and
go.
The respect we sensed may be the
result of a year of struggle toward the
betterment of Auburn U n i v e r s i t y;
struggle which because "betterment"
has varying definitions, has at times
been reduced to catfighting among
those three groups; administrators,
students, journalists.
We have learned from one another.
It is our hope that the new leaders
will use our experiences to guide
them in a c o n s t r u c t i v e year of
change at Auburn.
Tne integrity, experience, and de­termination
which characterize Tuck­er,
SGA Vice-president Anthony Cope-land,
and Treasurer Geoff Ketcham
fill us with confidence in our new
SGA.
Tucker said nis administration will
"walk a tightrope between servility
and confrontation" with the admin­istration.
We wish him success in that effort;
we will ourselves be walking the
tightrope of objectivity between sup­portive
and destructive observation.
We look for a fine new year.
Sizzle
Whew!
It may not be evident after we are
in print, but as we write, lay out, and
paste up this week's paper, we are
sizzling. It's not because this week's
news is particularly hot, but because
Buildings and Grounds has not yet
turned on our air-conditioning.
Elsewhere on campus, others sizzle
also. The heat and humidity in Haley
Center make c o n c e n t r a t i o n and
thought nearly impossible. And the
temperature in an engineering lab is
said to have hit 100 degrees this
week.
Meanwhile, in Mary Martin Hall and
Social Center, everything is "kool."
The belt ..tightening of which
we are all so thoroughly cognizant
apparently has called for air-condi­tioning
delays only in the academic
buildings.
We're all for saving money, but if
we must do it by delaying the air-con­ditioning,
let's delay it everywhere,
so we can all swelter together.
Unsung hero
Unsung heroes are common within
the structure of the Student Govern­ment
Association, where praise is
generally bestowed only upon those
who have been duly elected to an of­fice.
And this week marked the end of
three years of selfless devotion to
duty by one of SGA's most unsung,
yet most worthy, workers.
She is Carol Craze, who as Sec­retary
of Political Affairs, has been
responsible for the efficiency with
which elections have been conducted.
We thank Carol for her long service
to Auburn.

For Gloria Steinem to
speak at Auburn University
on the topic of women's lib­eration-
given its distasteful
local image-seems a little
like William F. Buckley Jr.
speaking at a cub scout den
meeting on the topic of U.S.
foreign policy.
That comparison notwith­standing,
Steinem will speak
here Thursday, together with
Dorothy Pitman, under the
sponsorship of Horizons Sym­posium.
The two have made
a great many friends for
women's liberation because
they have not abandoned
their femininity while de­fending
their philosophy.
And every Auburn student,
male or female, should listen
to what Steinem and Pitman
will have to say.
Because college is a time
when lifetime roles and goals
are adopted, it is important
for college students to give
heavy consideration to the
women's liberation philoso­phy.
Too frequently, bright wom­en
students drop out of col­lege
to marry, trading in­dividuality
and complete
personal development for a
false security which all too
quickly fades into boredom
and loss of identity. And few
women who do finish college
enter fields which would
fully challenge their intel­lectual
abilities; such as law,
medicine, engineering, arch­itecture,
or political science.
Why? Because it is con­sidered
unfeminine to be in­telligent,
and most men are
frightened by a woman who
in any way threatens his
masculine superiority.
Yet the man too is vic­timized
by the drop-out-and-marry
syndrome. In a few
years he may find himself
Student-Initiated courses needed to bring reform
One of the key issues in
last Week's SGA campaigns
was that of academic change
and how best to bring it
about. Nearly all major
candidates declared the need
for reform, and most included
in their platforms ways of
reorganizing the structure
of the SGA to provide more
administrative bases of
academic innovation and
interaction with the faculty
and University administra­tion.
They assumed that
although students can and
should initiate academic
change, only the faculty
and administration can imple­ment
these changes.
Only one group, the Trout
movement, seemed aware of
the record of reform move­ments,
and they pointed out
that for all practical purposes,
the formal structure of the
SGA and the University would
be unable to provide the
reforms promised by other
candidates. Their contention
was that radical educational
reform, if it is to come to
Auburn, must take place
outside of the formal Uni­versity
structure and then
must subvert the formal
structure by virtue of its
proven success. The Trout
candidates saw their job as
that of promoting the kinds
of attitude changes that
would foster such a reform
movement.
This line of thinking is
consistent with the more
successful reform movements
across the country and
agrees with what educators
promoting radical reform are
saying. Harold Taylor, former
president of Sarah Lawrence
College, writes, ". . .Those
of us who argue for radical
reform as a necessity for
saving the colleges and
universities have to face the
fact that except in the special
case of the experimental
colleges . . . radical reform
of American higher education
on a system-wide basis is
impossible by present methods
other than those of militant
student activism."
Taylor calls for student-initiated
programs to take
radical reform directly to
the classroom, by-passing the
administrative inertia that
resists change. Here students,
along with interested faculty
members, would design and
present their own courses,
and would draw more stu­dents
and teachers into the
program by making it relevant,
interesting, and worthwhile,
which many existing Univer­sity
courses definitely are
not. The primary link with
the existing structure would
be an effort to have such
courses recognized by the
University and accredited,
after they have been setup
and proven successful..
This is not a new idea.
Leon Botstein included the
idea as one of his major
proposals for academic
change when he spoke here
last month. Free univer­sities
andcenters of participa­tory
learning have been in
operation on many campuses
for several years. Some, such
as the Free University
established at Auburn two
years ago, have not suc­ceeded.
But the idea has merit.
Even if Auburn's program
folded before, it is still needed
and should be promoted
vigorously. Student interest
is on the rise, and the tight
money situation that faces
Auburn may make such a
program the only means for
students to get some of the
courses they need and should
have.
If the new SGA officers
are sincere in their promises
to promote reform, they
should begin by formulating
such a program. The fact
that student-initiated courses
have been the center of
successful reform movements
elsewhere should make the
creation of an action commit­tee
to set up such courses
a high priority item for the
new SGA administration.
Kevin Kilpatrick
Students achieve change through involvement
During the past election
campaigns, I heard a group
discussion among Dean of
Student Affairs James E. Foy
and several students concern­ing
rules governing campaign
elections. The open air de­bate
attracted many other stu­dents
who stood around lis­tening;
agreeing or disagree­ing
occasionally.
However, one student: soon
became very outspoken in ex­pressing
his opinions of the
University administration and
its effectiveness. In his effort
to dominate thediscussion, he
openly and loudly cursed
Pres. Harry M. Philpotti Dean
Foy, and members of the Stu­dent
Government Association
(SGA) in language that would
have embarrassed a drill ser­geant.
The student's left-wing
rhetoric would have made
Jerry Rubin proud.
The student was criticizing
the administration's policies
governing student campaign
p r a c t i c e s . The two main
thrusts of his argument were
that the administration had
done very little to relinquish
its authority over students,
and that students had done
very little to change the
situation.
But the dissenting student
failed to list his qualifica­tions
for having all the facts
behind the problems of this
University. He apparently had
never worked with any organi­zations
on campus such as
the SGA. the Human Rights
Forum (HRF), The American
Civil Liberties Union(ACLU).
or the Student Senate.
Yet this student went on
and on listing all that is
wrong, finding nothing right.
According to him, there wasn't
much hope of any change with­in
the present systembecause
of apathy within the Auburn
student body.
There is some truth in the
student's argument that the
administration is reluctant to
release its authority over stu­dents.
The disgruntled stu­dent
was just about right .in
stating that Auburn students
still have only a small voice
in determining University
policy which directly affects
them.
However, I must disagree
with the student's contention
that students here are unable
to work for reform because,
obviously, students have done
soi They have brought about
the removal of compulsory
ROTC. A past SGA adminis­tration
won virtual control
over student activity fee al­location.
There has been pro­gressing
liberalization of
women's social rules.
A student may wonder how
to bring needed change to the
system. He does not do it by
snouting out obnoxious lan­guage
and boring rhetoric, of­fering
no practical solutions.
He does not do it by throwing
firebombs into the ROTC
building. Nor does the oppo­site
extreme, apathy, produce
change.
Students can achieve
change by getting involved
with those organizations
which are working for change.
These include the SGA, the
HRF, the ACLU, Associated
Women Students, Praxis, and
the Student Senate.
These student organiza­tions
desperately need the
support in the form of man­power.
To function, they need
students who are willing to
put in a few hours a week to
help with the dull tedious jobs
that are essential for each to
operate.
Through the few hours a
week, the student learns what
the rules are and how to work
within the system for reform.
maried to a childlike non-person
who, in the words of
Steinem, has "never been
told she is responsible for
her own life."
According to Betty Friedan,
founder of the National Organ­ization
for Women (NOW),
"today most girls do not let
their education 'take'; they
stop themselves before get­ting
this close to identity."
For a coed, marriage is fre­quently
an easy way to avoid
the painful growth process
which precedes full identity.
Interest in men becomes a de­fense
against intellectual
development.
This is not to imply that
the maturation process is
halted in any woman who
drops out of college to mar­ry.
But it is true that an
alarming number of coeds are
so entranced with visions of
diamond rings, china patterns,
and wedding gowns, that they
do not look beyond the cere­mony
to the reality thafrmakes
up the institution of marriage.
As Friedan points out,
those coeds who do apply
themselves to their college
work lose their desperate
need for security through mar­riage.
They finish college,
work, date mature men, and
marry on a quite different, ba­sis
from the girl who moves
directly from the security of
the college environment into
the security of marriage.
It is important that coeds
come to the realization that
by dwelling on the importance
of marriage over graduation
they are, as Friedan says,
choosing the traditional wo­man's
role over the painful
growth to full identity, never
achieving the hard core of
self that comes not from the
misleading romantic fantasy
of love and marriage but from
mastering reality.
And she adds that such
women are doomed to suffer
a bored, diffuse feeling of
purposelessness, non-exis­tence,
and non-involvement
with the world.
* * *
If you are a man, listen to
Steinem and Pitman so that
you may guard against enter­ing
a relationship in which
you will protect your male ego
at the expense of serving in
your marriage as a father
figure to a childlike woman
whose mental development
halted somewhere in high
school.
If you are a woman, listen
to Steinem and Pitman so that
you may guard against copping
out on yourself by choosing
marriage before you really
consider the alternative of
life as a person who is not
limited to, but neither denied,
the roles of wife and mother.
To understand women's
liberation, one must halt to
think about those patterns
that we have always accepted
simply because they are.
Questioning our beliefs
will lead us to their re-exam­ination.
We then can reject
those that are false and place
new faith in those that are
true.
Where sexual roles are con­cerned,
that process can lead
not only to women's libera­tion,
but also to men's libera­tion.
Trout movement will continue to stimulate thought
By Pat Curtis
Trout was a success. With the
election over and the newly-elected
officers ready to take their places,
I feel a great deal of satisfaction.
Trout was not solely a campaign
for the election of a slate of can­didates,
but was the offering of
a movement. This movement embodied
a mature and responsible philosophy
on student determination. Because
of its nature, it was impossible for
us (Trout) to lose. Although all
but one of the "Troutsters" were
defeated, almost 20 per cent of the
voters evaluated and accepted the
Trout ideas. Indeed, Trout was
ahead of its time at Auburn, but
we did succeed in gaining the sup­port
of 1000 voters, offering new
ideas to many others, and, we hope,
stimulating thought-an element which
is often lacking on election day.
Trout's influence can be visibly
seen in the fact that last week an
AWS rule (which we sarcastically
quoted in our campaign literature)
concerning sunbathing was rescinded
with perhaps just a little embar-,
rassment.
In another instance, an AWS re­solution
demanding that the air
conditioners be aimed on in the
girl's dorms followed a public
statement of mine concerning the
air conditioners and the strength of
combined student voices.
In a more subjective nature, Trout
insured that the campaign was one
of issues, at least until the pres­idential
runoff when it once again
became a Greek machine contest.
Trout's shadow will linger on to
remind the new officers that these
issues are real and must be faced.
We presented our voters with a choice
of definite change and progress.
I congratulate those voters.
Those who placed their hopes in
Trout must not be despondent. Trout
will continue to exist as a loosely-organized
structure. Its influence
and personnel are recognized and
respected by the new student admin­istration.
This influence will be
exerted where it will be heard and
the organization will continue to
exist as long as it feels it can serve
some purpose.
Trout will exist in spirit as long
as there are mature and responsible
students who are aware of their
rightful position as adults in higher
education systems all over the world.
To the newly-elected officers, I
offer my congratulations and best
wishes. At the same time, I strongly v
remind them of their campaign
promises and of their obligation
to us, the student body who elected,
them. It is the responsibility of
the student body to maintain constant
surveillance of these new leaders
and see to it that they do not too
soon become lazy and comfortable
in their positions. We must insist
that they take action on our demands
which we express as decision­making
adults.

'SGA elections result in littering campaign9
Editor, The Plainsman:
Congratulations to Bill Stegall,
Jimmy Tucker, Jim Spivey, Pat
Curtis, Frank Bondurant, Anthony
Cop el and, Ed Gibbs, APEX.
Trout and scores of other Au­burn
students who ran for var­ious
and sundry offices in the
recent SGA elections.
These people have unleashed,
what appears to me, an unpre­cedented
avalanche of campaign
l i t e r a t u r e , ranging from utter
drivel to a sometimes erudite
presentation of student-oriented
problems and possible solutions.
(Too bad it wasn't all of the
latter.)
What makes it so bad is that
the overwhelming majority of
the handouts, posters, stick-ons,
etc., wound up in the streets, on
sidewalks, lawns, tacked upon
bulletin boards, on the side of
highways, underpasses, in mail­boxes,
under windshield wipers.
In short, they were everywhere
but inside the trash cans.
Notice, I said the overwhelming
majority. On only one I saw,
"Pass this on to a friend, please
don't litter." It seems a rather
sad indictment that our sup­posedly
"aware and involved"
student body can rationalize
this tremendous littering cam­paign
because of an SGA elec­tion,
which seems to have left
many dissatisfied with the re­sults.
Rumors are flying concerning
the fact that this fraternity
spent some $3,000 and that so­rority
spent 81,200 on the cam­paign.
People grumble about
not being able to confront the
prospective officers with their
own problems and criticisms. I
have yet to see or hear of any­one
(including myself) going
back to pick up and dispose of
all the campaign literature so
liberally sprinkled far and wide.
The only conclusion left for
me to draw is that despite the
vehement protestations to the
contrary, most Auburn students
are aware and involved only
enough to say it, not enough to
act it.
Tragic! But we're all 'in'be­cause
we say we are part Of the
Now (maybe Pepsi is a better
word) Generation.
Another point I would like to
make concerns election cam­paign
procedures. Why not re­quire
of every candidate a list
of campaign expenditures and
publish them in The Plainsman?
This would go far towards spik­ing
post-election rumors and any
attendant misconceptions. If
coupled with a maximum expendi­ture
law, the result might be
more equality for all candidates.
Another suggestion involves
some kind of public debate or
question and answer sessions.
When covered by campus media
or aired over radio stations,
many more students would have
the opportunity to confront can­didates
with their own view­points.
Here's hoping that the
near future will see some evi­dence
of an active search for
improvement of the problems that
now exist, not only those that
are manifest, but those that are
not.

'Changes show
in Plainsman'
Editor, The Plainsman:
I have always enjoyed read­ing
issues of The Plainsman,
but never have I enjoyed them
as much as I have in the past
six months.
I am a Naval Reservist on
active duty aboard the U.S.S.
Dehaven now deployed off the
Vietnam coast. My father, a fac­ulty
member, has been sending
me each issue. Mail calls are
very irregular, but I always look
forward to learning of Auburn's
activities.
Judging from the various fea­tures,
editorials and responses
to e d i t o r i a l s , it seems The
Plainsman has been experiencing
definite progress in the direction,
of problems and events on the
national and state level as well
as the local level.
It is comforting to realize that
Auburn students take an interest
in and many times an a c t i ve
part in the national affairs. This
fact is most easily recognized
by the different speakers and
conferences brought to the stu­dents'
attention to expose prob­lems
and opportunities of the
present and future.
I have to admit I have learned
a good bit about the national
scene from your features, and
so have many of my shipmates
who have found The Plainsman
an informative source of reading.
It has also convinced those from
other parts of the country that
the Southern students are con­cerned
about something other
than living it up at college.
Once again I would like to ex­press
my appreciation for the work
done by the staff and to let you
know your work is capable of in­forming
people in Hong Kong as
well as in Auburn.,,
I am looking forward to return­ing
to school and receiving more
issues of The Plainsman, no
matter how shredded or soggy I
may get them.

Letters policy
ACLU suggests review, revision
of grounds for disciplinary action
The Auburn Chapter of the
American Civil Liberties Union
has recommended in a resolution
passed April 3 that the admin­istrators
of the University com­pletely
review and revise "the
existing grounds for disciplinary
action as stated in the "Tiger
Cub" and the "Feminine Ap­proach."
Proposing extensive
changes, ACLU's resolution
charges that some of the pro­cedures
and practices of the
disciplinary committees have
"abridged the rights of the
students concerned."
Copies of the resolution have
been sent to University officials
and student leaders including
Bruce Gilliland, current chair­man
of the Student Senate's
Discipline Revision Committee.
The committee has been studying
the discipline problem by con­ducting
hearings and interviews,
and will release a lengthy, well-documented
report early in the
summer, Gilliland said.
The ACLU resolution urges
that a new University discip­line
code ' 'be exclusively con­cerned
with purely academic in­fractions
and physical abuse to
the University as defined in a
revised University discipline
code, and that the University
discipline code not include areas
of personal morality or discip­line
students on non-University
related civil or criminal of­fenses."
Emphasizing that discipline
procedures should not abridge
the legal rights that students
would enjoy in state or federal
court, the resolution recommends
that a student be appointed as
a court watcher by the president
of the Student Government As­sociation
to "observe the meet­ings
of the disciplinary com­mittee
and see that the legal,
extra-legal, and civil rights of
students concerned are not
violated by the disciplinary
committee or administration."
The resolution also states
that University disciplinary com­mittees
should not bring charges
against a student before the
student is tried in civil or crim­inal
court, if the offense in­volved
is also a breach of state
or federal law.
ACLU favors the formation of
one disciplinary committee to
replace the three presently
operating. Recommending that
the committee be composed of
a student majority, ACLU feels
that the decision of the discip­linary
committee should not be
subject to the University presi­dent's
approval.
John Saxon, 2GCL, chairman
of the campus ACLU, said that
the organization would continue
studying discipline cases at
Auburn and other colleges to
"give teeth" to the resolution.

current five game winning streak. Today and tomorrow,

Mitchell, Hilyer
talk of new spots
Remember the Georgia game last year? A regional tele­vision
audience was watching, major bowl hopes were on
the line, and Auburn bit the dust, because of injuries that
completely crippled the Tiger defense.
Coach Jordan remembers that game and as a consequence,
he has announced that this spring will be spent on thefun-damentals,
and in particular on the defense. And a part
of that stress on defense is noted by the switch in coaching
positions of Sam Mitchell and Jim Hilyer.
When Bill Oliver left to coach at Alabama after last
season, a big shift came about in the positions of Mitchell
and Hilyer. Mitchell went from varsity defensive end coach
to the secondary, while Hilyer moved from the freshman
squad to Mitchell's old post. Both Mitchell and Hilyer have
some definite opinions about the handling of their new
post.
"We're going to have a capable secondary this fall," said
Mitchell in the plush surroundings of Memorial Coliseum
offices. "We may not be as tall or as fast as other teams,

Speaking of Sports

but we have a lot of "football finesse" in our defensive
backfield. Dave Beck, Johnny Simmons, and Philip Gilchrist
all have experience, but they are going to be pushed by
some new people this year, which makes for a healthy
situation."
Mitchell has had a wealth of football experience. He was
an excellent three sport man at Coffee High School in
Florence, and came to Auburn with some bright prospects.
However, once here, he suffered the injury jinx that often
accompanies sure fire starters, and spent most of the time
watching. He was a tough, hard-nosed competitor, as well
as a smart football man. A lot of time that he was injured
was spent in learning about coaching.
This learning paid off, as was evidenced by his success
as head football coach at Columbus, Ga. In 1964, Mitchell
was named Coach of the Year in Georgia as he sent his
team to the semi-finals of the state meet, only to be defeated
by the eventual state champs. The next year, he joined the
Auburn staff as an assistant.
The main problem . • .
"The main problem with the defenses today is speciali­zation,"
Mitchell said, leaning back in his chair. "Pas­sers
and receivers are able to work together so much, that
they have a decided edge over the defense. And since
players are going only one way these days, the coaches in
college are putting the best players on offense."
"To counteract that, the best players are going to be put
on defense in the next few years. I hate to compare college
ball with the pros, but the situation in college today is much

Tigers, Gators in two-game set
Riding on the crest of a five-game win
streak and averaging over 10 runs a game
in their last seven outings, the Auburn
baseball squad meets the Florida Gators
in single games in Plainsman Park today
and tomorrow. Both games begin at 2:00.
Both Auburn and Florida are tied for
second place in the SEC's Eastern Di­vision
with their 5-4 conference slates.
They trail Vanderbilt for the top spot by
a game and a half, since the Commodores
have been able to come up with a 6-2 rec­ord.
Earlier in the season, the Auburn and
Florida split a pair of games in Gaines­ville,
as Florida won the first 10-5 and
the Tigers won the second, 5-3.
Auburn will start Earl Nance in the en­counter
today, with either Jack Van Yperen
or Rick Eisenacher going tomorrow.
The four games played by the Tigers in
Plainsman Park in the last week were
dreams come true to the base runners and
to Ken Dempsey, who hit two home runs
and five doubles in the four games.
The Tigers slammed Georgia 13-7 Friday
and then squeaked by the next day 8-7.
Monday, against Mercer; the baseballers
won 5-4, and then outslugged Alabama 12-8
in a game Tuesday.
The first of the Georgia games was a
wild affair, as Auburn had home runs by
Jack Baker and Andy Merchant. Dempsey
hit four doubles, and the baserunners had
field day as they swiped a team record of
12 bases in the game.
The big inning in the game for Auburn
was the six-run sixth, which featured two
doubles, two singles, two walks, six stolen
bases, and one Georgia error. Georgia had
gone ahead in the previous inning 6-4 on
the strength of a Glen Griffith home run.
In the next game, Auburn jumped to a
7-1 lead early in the contest, but the Bull­dogs
kept pecking away and were able to
tie the game in the ninth. Dempsey then
rapped the fifth of his doubles in the bot­tom
of the inning to drive in the winning
run. The sweep of Georgia was the first
time that Auburn had swept a series from
an SEC foe this season.
Mercer followed Georgia as a team visit­ing
from that state and gave Auburn quite
a challenge, before meeting up with Demp­sey.
Once again, the visitors were able to
tie the game in the top of the last inning,
and once again it was Dempsey who was
the hero. This time, on a three-two pitch,
he blasted one down the right field line
with a man on base to give the Tigers the
final 6-4 margin.
The Crimson Tide was the victim of the
hitting onslaught next, as Alabama pitchers
gave up 14 hits, including another Demp­sey
homer. Auburn was also able to run on
the Tide, as they swiped 11 bases in this
game.
The rammage of offense that the Tigers
have gone on in the current stretch of the
season has seen several team and confer­ence
marks become jeopardized. The 27
bases that were stolen in the last four
games are part of a season total of 66,
one more than the old team record of 65
set in 1969.
Joey Martin's 43 hits are only six less
than the record number gotten by both Scot-ty
Long and George Simmons in 1967. With
14 games left on the schedule for this
year, Martin is an almost sure bet to sur­pass
this mark. Also, if Martin were able
to retain his present .430 average, he would
break the record of the .423 set back in
1954.
Dempsey's five doubles of last week­end
game him a total of 11 for the year,
which ties the SEC record. There is a good
chance that he will break this mark, pos­sibly
today or tomorrow against the Gators.

Linebackers are the key
in Tigers9 spring drills
By Richard Little
Plainsman Intramurals Editor
After the first week of
spring drills, the biggest
question facing Auburn
football head defensive
coach Paul Davis is the
replacing 0 f All-South­eastern
Conference line­backer
Bobby Strickland.
Though Strickland is the
only s t a r t i n g linebacker
graduating, the loss is still
a big one. Strickland was
the strong linebacker, which
gets the most action in Au­burn's
defense.
" I t ' s a little early to say
much about a replacement,'
Davis said, "But the real
problem here is inexperience.
We have no one with much
playing time.
"Right now, we're looking
hard at two sophomores,
Steve Milano and Mike
Flynn," Davis added. Flynn
played strong linebacker on
the 1971 freshman team.
Adding to the problem,
Morrell Jerkins, who replaced
the injured Strickland for
the Georgia and Alabama
games, also graduated.
Returning are starters
Mike Neel, at rover, and
John Hayworth and Rick
Chastain, at middle line­backer.

Auburn/Bam a clash
in dual meet here
By Jerry Hester
Assistant Sports Editor
The Auburn track team faces a big challenge tomorrow on
Wilbur Hutsell Field when they meet the Alabama Crimson
Tide in their annual dual track meet. Field events will
start at 1:30, with the first running, the 440 relay, set for
2:0"0T. he only way to des­cribe
the Alabama meet
this week is fast and close,"
Auburn's Mel Rosen said.
He noted that Alabama has
a decided edge in the 880,
three mile, mile .shot put and
440 relay.
Auburn should be able to
take the mile relay, 440 hurd­les
, high jump, triple jump
and long jump. The sprints,
pole vault, and the javelin
have been rated a toss-up.
Coach Rosen pointed out
that the mile relay had
decided the dual meet for
the last few years except
for last year's.
Last week, Auburn turned
in its best performances
of the year in ten events ,
and yet was able to do no
better than fourth in a five
way meet held in Tuscaloosa.
Alvin Bresler turned in his
best time of the season to
set a new meet record of
51.4 in the 440 intermediate
hurdles. His brother, Milton,
also broke the record with
his second place time of
51.6.
Tommy Newdome also was
a record setter in the long
jump as he leaped 24 ft. 2Vz
in., while David Parrish
captured second. .
Other Aubum scorers were
Bobby Baker, second in
the 100 and 220, Steve
Richards, second in the
high hurdles, and Milton
Bresler third in the high
hurdles.

Sophomores Melvin Gay,
who "has a lot of possibili­ty,"
Bobby Davis, Rip
Bailey, and Jon LaFrance
are very much in the line-backing
picture, and could
break in as starters.
"So far, the returning line­backers
are so much more
advanced, so i t ' s going to be
hard for the others to gain a
starting berth," said Davis.
Injuries took away much of
the defenses' effectiveness
last season and Auburn
started 10 different line­backers
during the season.
For that reason, Davis plans
to make sure all the line­backers
get plenty of scrim­mage
time this spring.
"I'm satisfied with the
progress so far," said Davis,,
"But we have had so little
work. We've got to replace
a great linebacker in Strick­land
and everybody's All-
American in Larry Willing-ham,
and that's a big job."
Defense is a major con­cern
of the Auburn coaching
staff this spring. It was
somewhat porous last sea­son,
allowing 87 points in
the last three games.
On the other hand, the of­fense
will be a major con­cern
for Auburn's opponents
next year, as the starting
passing combination of Pat
Sullivan to Terry Beasley
returns to complement an of­fense
that averaged almost
36 points a game last year.

game type scrimmage
will be tomorrow afternoon.

Mason, Tigers shine in matdi
By Ray Wheeler
Assistant Sports Editor
The Auburn golf team, led
by newly elected captain
Tom Cox, made a strong
showing in last weeks action
as they fired a 777 to take
second place to Georgia in
a field of ten in the first
annual Junior-Senior College
Tournament at Willow Point
Country Club, then went on
to defeat the University of
South Alabama 369-394 on
Monday.
Tying for first place in
last weekend's tournament
was Auburn's James Mason
who solidly established him­self
as a threat for the top
spot in the SEC tournament
to be held at Calloway Gar­dens
May 13-15.
A sophomore from Duluth,
Ga., Mason has played con­sistently
better golf than
anyone on the Auburn squad
so far this year according
to his coach Sonny Dragoin.
"James is a well rounded
golfer," said Dragoin. "He
played well for us last
year as a freshman and has
to be considered among the
top golfers in the conference
this year."
Masoh tied for medalist
with Lynn Lott of Georgia
who shot 74 and 75 in the
weekend tournament. Mason
shot a 72 in the opening
round and fired a 77 in the
final contest.
Lott and Mason finished
three strokes ahead of last
year's SEC medalist, Tommy
Valentine from Georgia who
tied for third with Auburn
team captain Cox.
In addition to Mason,
Seniors Billy McDonald and
Cox had scores of 78-76 and
74-77 respectively in the two
rounds of 18 hole competition.
In Mondays action Cox
fired an even par 72 while
Tom Mish, Mason and Mc
Donald each had 74's and
freshman Bill Johnston fired
a 75. Commenting on the
USA match, McDonald stated
"This is the best we have
done on the whole as a
team."

Tennis team drops fourth
Speaking of Sports
By Ray Wheeler
Assistant Sports Editor
The Samford University
tennis team, led by Charles
Owens, the second ranked
player in the South, re­tained
its undefeated sta­tus
as it handed Auburn
its fourth defeat in six
outings 5-6 here Tuesday.
Turning in the best perfor­mances
on the Tiger squad
was second man Jerry Maples
as he downed his opponent
Joel Bailey 6-2, 6-3, and
fifth man Ed Larson as he
took David Harris 6-2, 6-1.
Coach Luther Young believed
the Tigers could pull it
out even after a split score
of 1-1 was recorded.
The match was decided in
the final doubles game with
both teams going into it
with four wins to their credit.
The Samford team of Bob
Greene and Harris put down
Chris Brown and Larson
6-2, 3-6 and 5-7 in a match
under the lights.
The Tigers play a limited
schedule in relation to other
Southeastern Conference
schools. In past action, for
example, the squad faced
Kentucky and Vanderbilt,
both veterans of 17 matches,
while the Auburn team has
played only two. The Tigers
lost 8-1 to both schools.
The tennis program is
lacking at Auburn in relation
to other sports. No scholar­ships
are given and recruit­ing
is done on a voluntary
basis by the players them­selves.
Women's team in tourney
By Debbie Wilson
Plainsman Sports Writer
The Auburn women's tennis team travels to Columbus,
Mississippi tomorrow to participate in the 13th annual
Southern Collegiate Invitational at Mississippi State College
for Women along with 16 other colleges all over the South.
Eight Auburn coeds will Carol Gfroerer of M.S.C.W.
make the trip to Columbus, won the singles title in the
along with their coach Nan-ellen
Lane, who said that
she felt the team has a very
good chance of finishing
near to the top in the very
tough competition that will
be in the tournament.
The ladies were able to
capture third place in the
War Eagle Invitational held
here last week-end, after a
6-1 match win over Murray
State of Kentucky the pre­vious
Wednesday.
War Eagle tournament, and
later teamed with Betsy Sam­ford,
to take the doubles
championship over the Uni­versity
of Florida. Auburn
finished behind these two
teams in the toumey.
In the Murray State match,
Janet Fox and Cathy Coggins
were among the singles win­ners
for Auburn as they won
all but one doubles match,
which was itself very closely
contested.
Continued from page 6
like it was there a few years ago. They had scores like 49-
26, 37-36 and such then, whereas last year they played a
lot more defensive football. They have just started putting
the fastest men on defense."
Jim Hilyer, like Mitchell, had a career in football before
becoming a coach for the Tigers. He played his high school
football in Sylacauga, went to a junior college in Mississippi
for two years, and finished his playing at Stetson College
in Florida, all as a guard-linebacker. Once out of college,'
he went to coach at Mainland High School in Daytona, Fla.,
then into the college ranks under Paul Davis, when he was
head coach of Mississippi State.
Hilyer came to Auburn in 1968 and until the recent shift
had been working with the freshman team. His value has
been not only as a coach, but also as a recruiter. The out­standing
job that Auburn did in Florida in getting prospects
was in great part due to Hilyer's efforts.
"The main problem with the defensive ends is getting the
right men in the right spot," Hilyer said in determining his
new situation. "My job is to evaluate the personnel as best
I can, and make sure they are doing what they do best."
Snug a master
"No, I really don't look on my new position as a move
up," Hilyer said when asked what he thought of his new
spot. "Coach Jordan is a master of making you feel impor­tant
no matter where you are working on the staff. I enjoyed
my work with the freshman teams, and I feel that that work
is equal to work in another position."
The effectiveness of the 1971 Auburn football defense
is yet to be determined, but it is nice to know that two
knowledgeable and personable men like Mitchell and Hilyer
are doing their best to make it its best.
You can afford it while
you're still young enough to enjoy it.
Having the want is one thing. Having the
wherewithal is another. The trouble with being
young is that all too often you have the one
without the other.
But the 1971 MG Midget is something else again.

THE AUBURN PUINCMIN Friday, April 23. 1971 ROTC programs attempt interest, relevance
By John Creel and Jim Patterson
Plainsman Staff Writers
Nov. 7, 1969, the Board of Trustees approved a recom­mendation
by Pres. Harry M. Philpott to create an all-voluntary
Reserve Officers Training Corps. (ROTC) pro­gram.
The recommendation was endorsed by the Special ROTC
Study Committee, the University Curriculum Committee
and the University Senate. Impetus for change was con­tinued
protest and a Human Rights Forum sponsored peti­tion
containing 1,000 signatures in the fall of 1968.
The recommendation said that academic credit would be
given, and it reaffirmed the University support of the ROTC
program. Auburn has required ROTC since institutionalized
as a land grant college in 1872.
The immediate effect of an all-voluntary program was
an over 50 per cent decrease in the Army and Air Force
programs. The AFROTC enrollment dropped from 1,444 to*
570. The Army program lost 962 cadets, dropping from
1,553 to 591. There has been no significant change in the
Navy program.
Women's AfROK is growing...
There is, however, one ROTC program that is growing.
Women's Air Force ROTC currently has 34 enrolled.
Six hours of either Army, Navy or Air Force ROTC
were required of male students in the past. Which of the
three programs a student entered was basically his choice.
NROTC differs from Army and Air Force ROTC in that the
Navy selects competitively its midshipmen from the appli­cants.
Since becoming voluntary the Army and Air Force ROTC
programs have been shifting in emphasis. In efforts to at­tract
students, the ROTC departments have tried to make
their programs more interesting and relevant to the needs
of students.
Naval ROTC, on the other hand, remains much the same
as in the days of compulsory ROTC. NROTC midshipmen
were and still are usually admitted on scholarship while
still in high school.
Instructors indicate that the students* attitudes and en­thusiasm
have improved since the voluntary ROTC program
was instituted. A typical comment was made by Col.
Andrew W. Lamar Jr., professor of military science.
'...change to voluntary program goon*../
He said, "The overall effect of changing to a voluntary
program has been good. We have had a drop in enrollment,
but this allows us to do more things than we could with
the larger group we had before. The cadets have a better
attitude because everyone in the program is there because
he wants to be."
The Army's basic, freshman and sophomore, program
has undergone the most change of the three. Tuesday and
Thursday afternoon drill periods have been replaced to a
large extent by weekly, hour long labs in which the cadets
learn basic militaify and combat skills such as a method of
getting down from high places quickly and safely known
as rapelling, first aid procedures, hand to hand combat and
field communication.
While the academic portion of the basic course covers
the same subjects such as military history and organiza­tion,
that it did before, textbooks and other classroom
materials have been updated in order to reflect recent
events and policies.
The Army's advanced, junior and senior, program has
also been altered. Junior cadets now work together in or­der
to learn leadership and management skills, while
senior cadets serve as leaders and instructors for the ba­sic
cadets.
Also, advanced cadets participate in activities such as
the race relations seminar now being held with cadets
from Tuskegee Institute, in which cadets from both schools
and race relations instructors from Fort Benning discuss
problems arising from racial differences, and how to re­solve
and prevent them.
The Air Force ROTC program has not been severely
altered. The basic AFROTC academic program has, in the
past, not been so closely oriented to exclusively military
topics as those of the Army and Navy, but have instead
concentrated on topics such as international relations,
comparative systems of government as well as history and
organization of the armed forces.
Advanced Air Force cadets serve as officers for the
cadet wing in order to learn military leadership and manage­ment
techniques to supplement their classroom training in
these subjects.
Cadets in AFROTC may receive a one- to four-year
scholarship based on grades, physical condition, results
of the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test (AFOQT) and an
agreement to fulfill a four-year service commitment. Those
who receive pilot training commit themselves to a total of
six years of service.
kit Force offers genera/ mifitary tonne...
The Air Force also offers a general military course
open to any student during his or her freshman or sopho­more
years. If at a later time the student decides to con­tinue,
he may apply for status as an advanced cadet.
Acceptance for flight training hinges on certain physi­cal
requirements and passing the pilot-navigator portion
of the AFOQT.
The Air Force also has the distinction of having the
only Women's Air Force program on Campus. Women enrolled

Draft counseling researches legal alternatives
By Martha Evans
Plainsman Features Editor
The founding father of the
draft counseling program
at Auburn University is
political science Instructor
Gary Campbell.
"Word got around that I
knew something about law
so people started coming to
me for advice about the
draft," said Campbell, who
graduated from Yale Law
School in June, 1969, and
came to Auburn that fall.
"It got to be such a heavy
load, I decided to train
students to do the counseling
since nobody seemed to have
any real knowledge about
the draft laws," he ex­plained.
Campbell, 26, first set
up shop in the Westminister
House. This year the draft
counseling operation was
moved to Haley Center, Room
2320, where counselors are
available from 2-4 p.m.
Monday. Wednesday and
Friday and Thursday from
7-9 p.m.
The Student Government
Association allocated $500
for draft counseling, but
according to Campbell, only
about $200 has been spent
for supplies and the sponsor­ship
of a draft counseling
expert for a weekend train­ing
session fall quarter.
A nucleus of about six
students keep the counsel­ing
service in operation,
said Campbell. He has been
trying to wean them of his
assistance since he plans
to leave Auburn in the near
future.
One of the counselors,
Betsy Walker, 4GPO, ex­pressed
some concern about
the future of the draft
counseling program.
"If we don't get some
more counselors," she said,
"I don't know if the program
will last since a lot of the
more experienced counselors
are graduating."
Campbell's plan is for
each counselor to take one
or two trainees and work
with them during the regular
counseling sessions so that
the trainees can learn by-watching
advisors in action.
The draft law, Selective
Service regulations based
on the law and additional
information provided by
sources like the Central
Committee for Conscientious
Objectors provide back­ground
data for the draft
counselors.
The Selective Service
also publishes interpretive
material about the basic
draft regulations.
Said Campbell, "The
Selective Service used to
treat the interpretive material
like an inter-office memo.
They didn't like people to
find out about it. Now, in
keeping with their new image,
the material is easier to
obtain.
' 'Even with a new image,
the Selective Service can't
get away from the fact that
the draft is an evil. What
they're trying to do is make
it a palatable evil."
According to Miss Walker,
students as different as
cheerleaders and ' 'hippie
types" have sought draft
counseling. Students with
draft numbers from one to
100 are most likely to drop
by Room 2320.
The weekly average is six
students, ranging from none
to three in slack periods
(usually at the first of the
quarter) to 15 in busier
periods near the end of the
quarter when students are
about to graduate or lose
deferments.
The counselors try to
find a legitimate way for
students to avoid the draft.
"I don't consider delib­erately
shooting an arm off
legitimate," said Campbell •
"It is legitimate, I think
to advise a student to fatten
up or skinny down. The
military doesn't want you
if you're too fat-you wouldn't
fit in a foxhole very well."
Incompetance at the local
draft board level is often
responsible for students'
draft problems, said Camp­bell.
'
"Draft board members
aren't paid. They're volunteer
workers who don't have a
great deal of knowledge
about the law. In many
cases, the city clerk is the
only one who understands
the law. So the draft board
relies on the clerk, who
influences the board to do
things it isn't supposed
to do," he said.
In a case like this, the
draft counselor will advise
the draftee to write the state
and national selective
service headquarters asking
for an investigation.
The result is often a
cancelled induction notice,
said Campbell.
The local board most-often
errs in deciding who
is, oris not, a conscientious
objector deserving of exemp­tion,
in not granting defer­ments
or exemptions for valid
Army codefs oof in the field on maneuvers
reasons other than consci­entious
objection and in not
allowing enough time for
appeal before issuing the
final induction notice, said
Campbell.
A draftee is supposed to
have 30 days after receiving
his first induction notice to
request a personal appear­ance
before the local board.
If the local board turns
down his request for draft
exemption, the draftee has
an additional 30 days to
take his case to the state
appeals board.
The state board reviews
the case without a personal
appearance by the draftee.
If the board decides unan­imously
against the draftee,
he cannot appeal the case
any higher on the adminis­trative
ladder. However, if
one of the members of the
state board rules in his favor
(there are usually three
members), the draftee can
make a presidential appeal,
which means his case will
be reviewed in Washington,
though not by the President.
If this step fails, the
only thing the draftee can
do is refuse induction. He
will be tried as a criminal
and may use as his defense
invalid induction.
Only several thousand i
draft cases are actually
carried to court each year,
although the number is in­creasing
yearly, said Camp­bell.
Public opinion about
conscientious objectors,
CO's, has changed some­what
according to Campbell.
"Of course, in the 'bo-onies'
if you are a CO, you
are also automatically a
commie and a queer. Among
young people, the stigma
is not quite as strong,"
he said.
Although, according to
Campbell, the grounds on
which a draftee can obtain
CO status have broadened
and the number of people
opposed to the Vietnam war
has increased, several stu-meet
the same requirements as male cadets and take the
same courses.
Mrs. Jayne Farr Holley, who graduated last quarter, was
the first woman to receive an AFROTC commission.
Army cadets are under basically the same system as Air
Force cadets. They have a choice of one- to four-year
scholarships, providing they meet academic requirements,
pass a physical examination and are willing to serve a
four-year commitment.
The Army also offers flight training during which a stu­dent
may obtain his private pilot's license.
Naval ROTC has not been affected by the change from
compulsory to voluntary ROTC participation to the extent
that the other programs have because most NROTC cadets
are admitted into the program on scholarships while they
are still in high school. In effect the NROTC program here
has always been more elective and selective.
The size of the NROTC body at Auburn has remained
between 250 and 300 since the program was instituted at
Auburn.
Two hundred twenty-nine students are currently enrolled
in NROTC programs.
NROTC remains much me some...
The academic program has not been changed. The first
two years cover naval history and organization. During
their junior and senior years, midshipmen may take courses
leading to a commission in the Navy, or to commission in
the Marine Corps.
Midshipmen who want naval commissions take courses
in naval warfare, while those taking the Marine option
study amphibious warfare.
Captain D. A. Barksdale, professor of naval science,
said that he did not anticipate any major changes in the
NROTC program other than the fact that there might be an
increase in the number of scholarships available to NROTC
students.
As a high school student the future collegiate may
apply for a four-year scholarship if he meets certain aca­demic
and physical requirements. He must also be willing
to serve a minimum of six years in the Navy. This program
is called the NROTC College Scholarship Program, is
filled on a quota system and culminates in a regular
Navy commission.
The Navy also offers the NROTC College Program, pre­viously
called the NROTC "Contract Program," which
yields a reserve commission. There is no quota system in
effect for this program, nor is selection competitive. The
requirements for this program are the same as those for the
scholarship program with the exception of a relaxed vision
requirement.
Active military personnel, many of whom are ROTC
graduates, return to work on advanced degrees. The rule
of thumb is that for every year of college that they attend
paid at the military's expense, their service commitment
is extended by one year. The Army currently has 50 "Boot­strap"
students and the Air Force has 40.
m
While emphasis shifts in the Army
and Air Force ROTC programs,
attitudes on grooming have not
changed much. As Air Force cadet Ed Ward, 1GPG,
knows, spit and polish are still part of the military.
SfrirVpoflsft
dents who could probably
have obtained CO ranking
refused to do so.
"They wouldn't ask for
CO status because of pres­sures
from various sources:
parents, a girlfriend or
prospective employers."
he said.

f g f f ffflflf Force Reserve Officers Training Corps program march under
/ " the direction of an advanced AFROTC cadet. Women cadets
meet the same program requirements as men cadets. Women's AFROTC is the only
ROTC program that has a growing enrollment. Opinions varied
on ROTCprogram
By Jerry Hester
Plainsman Staff Writer
Low draft lottery num­bers,
scholarships and sub­sistence
pay, and career
plans seem to be the main
reasons why students enroll
in the Reserve Officers
Training Corps (ROTC).
Until November, 1969,
basic ROTC was required
for graduation. Now students
may decide whether or not
they wish to join basic and
advanced ROTC.
One of the strongest in­fluences
on a student's
choice about whether or not
to enroll in the ROTC pro­gram
is his draft lottery num­ber.
Unless a student with
a high lottery number is
military-oriented, chances
are he will not bother with
ROTC.
For many students with
low draft numbers, ROTC is
one way to serve their mil­itary
commit ment. Jeff
Clarey, 3VED, said, "I de­cided
since I had an ob­ligation,
ROTC would be
the most interesting and
worthwhile alternative."
Jim Barton, 1PN, a basic
army cadet, indicated the
position of many freshman
cadets when he said, "I
don't have my lottery num­ber
yet, so I'm putting my­self
in a position where
I can get into advanced
ROTC if I decide I want or
need to."
The ROTC Pay and schol­arships
are also important
factors in student's deci­sions
about ROTC.
Similar to many of the
other 52 army scholarship
cadets, Harry Spear, 2BA,
indicated that his scholar­ship
played an important
role in his decision to go
into ROTC.
He said, "My scholar­ship
is paying for my school­ing
now. After I serve my
time in the Army, I can go
to school on the G.I. bill."
Other cadets indicate that
the ROTC program fits in
to their career plans. Dav­id
Parrish, 3HPR, said, "I
am planning on getting into
the Flight Program which
will be a real asset to my
plans to become a commer­cial
pilot."
Ken Perrigan, 4INM, an
Air Force advanced cadet
pointed out, "I enjoy ROTC
and with the job situation
as bad as it presently is,
several years, or even a
career, in the Air Force
is very enticing."
Many ROTC cadets, though
not a large percentage, plan
to pursue military careers.
ROTC enables these stu­dents
to begin their career
while getting a college ed­ucation.
Jeff Grant, 4PG,
said of his plans, "I enjoy
army life, what I've seen of
it so far. I plan to make it
a career, so I'm actually
training for my job through
ROTC as much as with my
schooling."
Other ROTC students
enrolled because of parental
pressures or to continue a
family military tradition.
Some cadets consider ROTC
as part of their campus act­ivities.
One such example is
Clint Pomeroy, 1PN, who
said, "I like being in basic
Air Force ROTC, and es­pecially
being a member of
the Pershing Rifle drill
team. I'm almost sold on
going into the advanced pro­gram."
The thirty-four girls en­listed
in the basic Air Force
program mostly want to see
what the military is like.
Sharon Binnings, 1PB,
said, "I joined mostly out
of curiosity and I have really
enjoyed it so far.''
Paula Jordan, 1GMH,
added, "I also joined to
learn about the military. It's
much more interesting than
regular classes, and there
is a good chance that I will
go advanced."
For 85 per cent or more
Auburn students, ROTC has
little or no appeal. • Some
anti-ROTC views are held
similar to those of Jim
Mengel, 4GPA. He said,
"I object to the militaristic
atmosphere which surrounds
ROTC and feel it teaches
anti-human attitudes. I feel
it should be made extra­curricular
since the cadets
are paid."
A common attitude is held
by Wendell Pate, 3INM, "I
have no objection to ROTC.
If others want it, fine, but
I have a high draft number
so I'm not interested in it."
Fred Hudson, 4HY, said,
*'I think that basic ROTC is
overrated. It was not worth
my time. Now it's voluntary,
so I don't worry about it."
Another objection to ROTC
is that only one hour of
credit is given for three to
five hours of work each
week. Long-haired students
are especially offended by
the ROTC haircut require­ments.
Even students who have
military obligations have
no interest in ROTC. Often
these students feel that
ROTC limits their freedom
and decide to wait until they
graduate to worry about it.
This view was expressed
by Larry Carter, 3PM, "I'm
simply not interested in
ROTC, and it does not fit
into my career plans."

Friday, April 23, 1971 9- THE AUBURN PUINMUN
Sinclair new campus minister
Rod Sinclair, the new
minister at the Chapel of St.
Duns tan of Canterbury, makes
his newness an admirable
quality. He has shiny-new
curiosity about who runs
the campus and how, what
the students think and do
and. . .as yet, his enthu­siasm
is unscuffed.
Dismissing the squeaky
formality of newness with a
disarming, "Call me Rod,
ok?" Sinclair steps with
seeming confidence into
the parish "shoes" vacated
by Chaplain Carl Jones.
"I've been asked to
participate in the Clergy
Consultation Service. I think
it's a legitimate area to
spend some time in-unwanted
pregnancy is a critical issue
in a girl's and boy's life,"
says Sinclair.
He also plans to concern
himself with other facets
of student campus life.
"I don't think it is prying
into the University's domain
when a campus minister
concerns himself with stu­dent
policy that has a bear­ing
on students' lives," the
40-year-old minister said.
Sinclair graduated from the
University of Virginia law
school at Charlottesville in
1958 and practiced law for
five years. In 1963, he
entered the Virginia Theo­logical
Seminary at Alexan­dria,
Va., coming to Auburn
from a position as campus
minister at St. Paul's
Episcopal Church in Charlot­tesville.
According to Sinclair, his
background as a lawyer has
proved beneficial to him as
a minister in counseling
and in tackling social
issues.
The lawyer, said Sinclair,
learns to analyze any situa­tion.
For example, if two
neighbors have a dispute,
the lawyer has the clear
diagnostic task of determin­ing
whose rights have been
violated and what remedy
to recommend.
This same diagnostic ap­proach
carries over into
counseling when combined
with an understanding of the
interworkings of the human
Plainsman photo by Roger Wentowski
Rod Sinclair
mind, he explained.
His experience as a law­yer
also keeps him from
using his position to "naively
champion the cause of the
underdog."
"The underdog is just
like you and me. He has his
good points and his bad
points. I think the liberal
tends to turn him into a
saint. I'm a liberal-I'm
talking about myself," he
said.
Sinclair said he also wants
to avoid making simplistic
statements about the Vietnam
war.
"It's not much nowadays
to say you're against the
war. I just think the citizens
have to keep the pressure
on or the President may go
slow in his withdrawal
plans," he said. "I'm
pleased at the number of
people who are considering
being conscientious objec­tors.
Several years ago,
there was such a stigma
attached, people couldn't
objectively look at it as
an alternative. Nowadays,
they can."
Sinclair was a member of
Phi Kappa Sigma social
fraternity at the University
of Virginia.
"I liked it for a while
but it became a drag, a
frantic effort to live it up
just one more time.
"The principal way we
related to each other was
with sarcasm," he con­tinued.
"In the final anal­ysis,
it wasn't too gratify­ing;
you were afraid to
share anything of importance
to you for fear someone
would put his verbal golf
shoes on and run all over it.
' 'Today, there seems to
be much more concern among
students about intrapersonal
relationships. If you like
someone, you can telFem
so—you're not ashamed."

THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN -jg Friday, April 23, 1971
Educated vagabond
hitchhikes southward
By Martha Evans
Plainsman Features Editor
Jim Guest walked into
The Plainsman office early
Monday morning.
"Mind if I use a type­writer?
he asked. That
wasn't so unusual. Lots of
people wander in to use the
typewriters. He was the
first to come in wearing a
bright red knapsack harnes­sed
to his back.
Jim is a wanderer, an
educated vagabond. Pointing
at a rip in his bluejeans,
he explained how he'd torn
them the night before climb­ing
a fence. He'd slept in
the pole vaulting pit.
He unzipped one of the
compartments in the knap­sack
and pulled out some
yellow paper, settling down
at the typewriter.
"It is kind of difficult to
barge in, but I hate being
lonely. I don't like being
alone at all," he admitted.
The staff had approached him
like kittens cautiously in­vestigating
their first bowl
of milk. Then, curiosity
satisfied, they left him alone.
Jim is 30, a graduate of
Amherst College in Amherst,
Mass., and the Harvard Law
School. He quit his job in
Washington, D.C.in January
to hitchhike around the
country.
"I like not being tied
down. The surprises and un­certainty
which some people
would consider drawbacks
to this kind of life are at­tractions
to me," he ex­plained.
"Plus, I get to meet
people I would never meet
if I stayed in Washington."
So Jim packed his knap­sack
with a sleeping bag,
socks, underwear, a dictat­ing
machine to record his
thoughts and experiences and
three books (a history of
the United States, a poetry
anthology and Steinbeck's
"Travels with Charley")
and took off.
To get from Washington to
Charleston, S.C., he de­livered
a car, with the owners
footing the gas bill.
From Charleston,he hitch­hiked
to Florida, spending a
few days at Ft. Lauderdale
helping a retired tree farmer
who had given him a lift
plant trees in "his personal
little forest."
None of the people who
have given him rides or a
place to stay have been par­ticularly
grotesque or dif­ferent,
said Jim. They were
just ordinary people with
their own ordinary (but im­portant
to them) story to tell.
'' Everybody' s got some­thing
he wants to talk about.
I like to bring this out," he
Plainsman photo by Roger Wentowski
Jim Guest
said.
He told about the truck
driver, on the road for 15
hours, who hoped that since
Jim had long hair (his hair
is shorter now) he would
a l s o have some "ups"
stashed away in the knap­sack.
Another truck driver
was a homosexual. A man in
Coconut Grove, Fla., let
him sleep in a tree hut, and
one talkative man admitted
he pushed hash.
In Coconut Grove, Jim met
a long-haired, mustachioed
drummer in a small night
spot.
"That guy used to be a
doorman at the Senate. He
said he was never going
back," Jim recalled.
The young vagabond also
spent several days in a yoga
commune. "I tried, but I
couldn't do all the limbering
up exercises they did," he
grinned.
Nor could he subsist on
their vegetable diet: "I got
a few hotdogs to keep me
going."
He comments on people:
"I don't exclude or withdraw
from any people I might meet,
and I think I've become more
tolerant toward them. Every­body
eventually has to adopt
some world or another, doing
what makes them happy,
whether it's materialism,
drugs or yoga.
"Because someone avoids
ulcers by relaxing at the
country club doesn't mean
he's a terrible person. Just
because that's not the an­swer
for me doesn't mean it
shouldn't be for somebody
else."
His openness to people
doesn't mean he trusts them
completely, although he has
made a vow of sorts not to
worry about his distrust
enough to stay off the hitch­hiker's
trail.
The odds of something
happening to him during
his travels are great, Jim
admits. He told about camp­ing
out in the Florida Keys
with a student from the Uni­versity
of Minnesota who
had given him a ride.
"We were out in the mid­dle
of nowhere. At first I
was uneasy, but I told my­self
that if he were going
to rob me or whatever, he'd
wait until I went to sleep
to do it, so I might as well
go to sleep.
"We camped out for about
four days and a couple of
days later, he told me he
stayed awake half that
first night for fear I'd stab
him or something," Jim
laughed.
From Auburn, Jim, who
had never been in the South,
was headed for Tuskegee,
then Selma and Birmingham
and across to Atlanta.
"So far, nobody seems as
belligerently conservative
as I expected," he com­mented.
"Maybe rednecks
just don't give hitchers
rides."
He happened to get one
ride on a private plane when
a "hitch" ended at an air­port.
"Maybe I'll just get on
a plane to San Francisco,
if I happen to be at an air­port
at the right time with
my knapsack," he mused.
He has also considered
settling down for a while
in Australia.
"The thing is, the more
I travel, the more I want to
stay and-I know this sounds
corny-do what needs to be
done for this country," he
said.
Jim plans to write about
his travels and, hopefully,
to publish what he writes.
' 'The writing is not neces­sary
to justify it though.
If I were to bum around with­out
writing a thing, it would
still be perfectly all right,"
he said.
Wednesday morning, Jim
got up early, ate a ham and
eggs breakfast with a stu­dent
who'd offered him a
place to sleep and washed
the dishes. By 9 a.m. he
was gone.
French art film
set for Monday
Les Liaisons Dangereous-es
(The Dangerous Liaisons),
directed by Roger Vadim, is
the next fine art film offer­ing.
Starring Jeanne Moreau
and Gerard Philipe will be
shown Monday at 7 and 9
p.m. in Langdon Hall.
For two years the film
was withheld from export by
the French government as
".detrimental to the French
character."
It outlines in detail the
tactical maneuvers in a game
of musical beds practiced
energetically by Mm. and
Messr. de Merteuil.
This happily married
couple make a hobby of se­duction
, each with the other's
full consent, and often with
the other's assistance in
planning.
