THE AUBURN PUINSFYUN today Editorials Letters • • Sports Campus Color • Week in Review- VOLUME 98 AUBURN UNIVERSITY AUBURN., ALABAMA FRIDAY, APRIL 23 , 1971 10 PAGES NUMBER 22 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 delay changes radio opening to Sun. 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. Newly elected SGA Pres. Jimmy Tucker Tuck&F shakes hands with Pres. Harry M.

"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 she has a column, "The City Politic," that deals with politics and urban problems.

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 care laws. 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 will be held in the Student Activities Building. mitted only as space allows. 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. The Auburn United Nations. Affairs chapter is sponsored by the Student Government Association, in cooperation with the local Council on International Relations and the Department of Political Science. Faculty adviser is Dr. Daniel Nelson, political science instructor. Ed Rudd, 2PL, is chairman of the program. SGA toteiwws ^ I j Interviews for Student Government Association I committee chairmen andl executive cabinet positions -. 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 ^ crowds Wednesday night and Thursday 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. THE AUBURN PUINSMXN -2 Friday, April 23, 1971 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." All campus buildings air-conditioned May 1 Tne new Panhellenic officers Pnnflo/fAflir installed early this quarter from ruiiiiciicmi top left are> Behnda Ausleyj president and Betsy Taylor, Greek Forum chairman; from bottom left, Missy Ellingson, treasurer and Dee- Dee Slynn, secretary. ___^_ 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.

Dawson, chief of campus security. The accused 17-year old Foster was riding on a tricycle, not a bicycle, down the sidewalk near the east entrance of the coliseum according to two witnesses. The arresting officer, Sergeant Louis, called the accused over to his police car and proceeded to search the suspect, including inside the youth's pockets and cigarette pack, according to both Marshall Crouch, 1AR, and Ray Donnelly, 2BI. Crouch, Robert Williams, 1PN , and Mike Henry, 1AR. tried to post the $100 bond on Monday night but were refused "for lack of proper identification," for the accused, stated Crouch.

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 of Biblical prophecy and the resurrection of Christ. McDowell chose to discuss the Resurrection in • terms of " circumstantial evidence.'' Reward One hundred dollars is being offered for information leading to the arrest 1 and conviction, of the I individual poisoning dogs | in the Auburn community. I Call 821-1015 if you have 1 any information concern- § ing the identity of this individual. Point by point, McDowell examined the details of the Resurrection scene including' 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." PLAINSMAN APARTMENTS 306 E.

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.

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.

Beverly Bradford Marriage halts maturation ABOUT Rusfy THESIZEOFAPMS-rmsSAU. Eubanks 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. Ed.

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. Bill Mackinnon, 4PG '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. BTFN Everett Lyle Aboard the U.S.S. Dehaven 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.

Andy Merchant runs down his counterpart on the Alabama team, Glenn Woodruff. Auburn bombed the Tide, 12-8 in the fifth win of their current five game winning streak. Today and tomorrow, the Tigers meet Florida in single games in important Eastern Division play. 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 Sports I f for toady Oomkfm 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.

Afternoon 12-9 p.m KEN MACKEY ELECTRONICS GENTRY VILLAGE X+1 821-3378 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.

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. Battling for a starting job will be lettermeu 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. YAHAHA 175 ENDURO CT1-C COMPETITION PROVEN!

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. The T i g e r s ' first controlled game type scrimmage will be tomorrow afternoon. Auburn will continue to work every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday until the A-Day game on Saturday, May 22. fm?/ /797r- THEATRE SEVEN BIG DAYS!

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."

TUESDM \ D E E B O DrV Cleaning 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 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 Star burst The Navy drill team pauses in midformation. The 26-mem-ber team won the Best Marching Unit Award in the 1969 Armistice Day Parade in Birmingham. The midshipman practice three hours a week and participated in this year's Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans. 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. •pirgireniwirpirircnm Plainsman photos by John Creel and Copt William BrinMey, USA Plainsman photo by John Creel Ten of the thirty-four.coeds enrolled in the Women's Air 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." PERMANENT WAVE WITH LANOLIN only iifi.OO.

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.

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 delay changes radio opening to Sun. 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. Newly elected SGA Pres. Jimmy Tucker Tuck&F shakes hands with Pres. Harry M.

"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 she has a column, "The City Politic," that deals with politics and urban problems. A magna cum laude graduate Dorothy Pitman Gloria Stomm in government of Smith College Miss Steinem was awarded the Chester Bowles Asian Fellowship for a year's study in India. She w a s o n e of the organizers of Writers and Editors Against the War in Vietnam, and has been active in the political campaigns of Adlai Stevenson, John and Robert Kennedy, Eugene McCarthy, and George McGovern. Miss Steinem serves on the Democratic National Committee • She is also preparing an anthology of current and historical readings on the Women's Liberation 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 care laws. 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 will be held in the Student Activities Building. mitted only as space allows. 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. The Auburn United Nations. Affairs chapter is sponsored by the Student Government Association, in cooperation with the local Council on International Relations and the Department of Political Science. Faculty adviser is Dr. Daniel Nelson, political science instructor. Ed Rudd, 2PL, is chairman of the program. SGA toteiwws ^ I j Interviews for Student Government Association I committee chairmen andl executive cabinet positions -. 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 ^ crowds Wednesday night and Thursday 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. THE AUBURN PUINSMXN -2 Friday, April 23, 1971 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."

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.

Dawson, chief of campus security. The accused 17-year old Foster was riding on a tricycle, not a bicycle, down the sidewalk near the east entrance of the coliseum according to two witnesses. The arresting officer, Sergeant Louis, called the accused over to his police car and proceeded to search the suspect, including inside the youth's pockets and cigarette pack, according to both Marshall Crouch, 1AR, and Ray Donnelly, 2BI. Crouch, Robert Williams, 1PN , and Mike Henry, 1AR. tried to post the $100 bond on Monday night but were refused "for lack of proper identification," for the accused, stated Crouch.

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 of Biblical prophecy and the resurrection of Christ. McDowell chose to discuss the Resurrection in • terms of " circumstantial evidence.'' Reward One hundred dollars is being offered for information leading to the arrest 1 and conviction, of the I individual poisoning dogs | in the Auburn community. I Call 821-1015 if you have 1 any information concern- § ing the identity of this individual. Point by point, McDowell examined the details of the Resurrection scene including' 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." PLAINSMAN APARTMENTS 306 E.

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.

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.

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.

Beverly Bradford Marriage halts maturation ABOUT Rusfy THESIZEOFAPMS-rmsSAU. Eubanks 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. Ed.

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. Bill Mackinnon, 4PG '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. BTFN Everett Lyle Aboard the U.S.S. Dehaven 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.

Today and tomorrow, the Tigers meet Florida in single games in important Eastern Division play. 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 Sports I f for toady Oomkfm 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 See page 7, col. 7 SALE All 8-Track Tapes $4.50 Every Wed. Afternoon 12-9 p.m KEN MACKEY ELECTRONICS GENTRY VILLAGE X+1 821-3378 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.

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. Battling for a starting job will be lettermeu 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. YAHAHA 175 ENDURO CT1-C COMPETITION PROVEN!

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. The T i g e r s ' first controlled game type scrimmage will be tomorrow afternoon. Auburn will continue to work every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday until the A-Day game on Saturday, May 22. fm?/ /797r- THEATRE SEVEN BIG DAYS!

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."

Also in independent action, Wesley Foundation blasted the Saints 28-12, behind Donnie Gartman and Rickey Oliver, who had 4 hits each. In the fraternities, the PKT's whalloped Chi Phi 19-2, OTS bombed DSP 13-1, the ATO's skunked the Delta Chis 17-6, and the Kappa Sigs beat SPE 9-4. Other scores: University Apt. 11, Division A 4; Etc. 16, Division U 1; Navy, 14, Air Force 12; and University Apt. Two 22. Division D7. Most of other action was dominated by forfeits, especially the make-up games played on April 16, when only three teams showed up. Teams should note that two forfeits will eliminate them from competition. The Intramural track organization meeting will be held Monday at 7 p.m in room 2040 of the Memorial Coliseum. The track meet is scheduled to take place May 3-4. Also, due to a lack of response there will be a second registration for the free swimming lessons held 9-12 on Saturday mornings.

TUESDM \ D E E B O DrV Cleaning 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 Star burst The Navy drill team pauses in midformation. The 26-mem-ber team won the Best Marching Unit Award in the 1969 Armistice Day Parade in Birmingham.

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. •pirgireniwirpirircnm Plainsman photos by John Creel and Copt William BrinMey, USA Plainsman photo by John Creel Ten of the thirty-four.coeds enrolled in the Women's Air 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." PERMANENT WAVE WITH LANOLIN only iifi.OO.

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.
