Fifty coeds sleep out
in protest of rules
I v< ~n
OQ May 20, approximately
50 Auburn coeds packed up
their sleepingbags and spent
,the night on the front Social
Center lawn to protest
women's rules, which the
group claimed are unconsti­tutional.
The women, along with at least
that many men, spent the night
listening to music and partici­pating
in discussion groups on
women's rules. The groups were
led by Student Government Asso­ciation
Pres. Jimmy Tucker, and
Anita Page, president of the As­sociated
Women Students.
The "sleep out" began at 10
that night and ended at about six
the next morning. At 10:40, a
hand count showed that 101 girls
were present, but in keeping with
the demonstration's intent to
stay within University rules, the
girls who had to be in before cur­few
left togo back to their dorms.
By 12:30, no more than half of
the original number of girls re­mained.
When asked her opinion of the
demonstration one coed said,
"Most of these people are plas­tic
freaks. If they were really
sincere in wanting change they
would have broken the curfew."
Another said, "It's good in
getting the people together, but
there won't be any changes. Peo­ple
here simply don't want any
change, most are satisfied with
things as they are."
One male student said, "It
was perfectly respectable, per­fectly
legal and completely use­less."
Originally, the demonstration
was planned to challenge the
rules by breaking the curfew, but
it was decided that more girls
would participate if the demon­stration
were made legal.
At eight that night Anita
Page spoke to a small crowd at
Graves Amphitheatre on various
women's liberation groups around
the country in support of the
equal rights amendment currently
before Congress.
She said, "Women are not los­ing
their femininity, it's a matter
of simple justice."
Taylor Boyd, 3TM, spoke brief­ly
for the Interfraternity Council
and said that men were involved
since women's rules affected
them indirectly. He also said

that he was glad that the women
were working through established
channels.
The meeting ended with the
sleep out leaders telling the
crowd to go back to their dorms
and bring their friends to the
sleep out.

Young have big job,
not much time-Gregory
"You youngsters got a big job," comedian Dick Gregory
said repeatedly Monday night.
Gregory, who was the final
speaker in this year's Horizons
Symposium, spoke for over two
hours to an audience of ap­proximately
1,000, in the Stu­dent
Activities Building„
"You young people in America
are probably the most morally
honest, ethical .dedicated, com­mitted
group of young people
that's ever lived in the history
of this country-bar none," he
said.
Gregory went on to describe
what he said were the problems
facing the younger generation
and what could be done about
them.
He opened his speech with
the remark, "I can't really
stand here in all honesty and say
it's a pleasure to be in Auburn
tonight." With that the audience
began laughing and continued
throughout the evening.
On a more serious note,
Gregory said, "That was a hell
of a day," about the recent
anti-war demonstrations in
Washington, D.C.
"Seven thousand students
were arrested in one day. Why
did they go to jail? For pushing
dope, embezzling, pimping?
"No," he said. "Seven thou­sand
people went to jail because
they wanted to stop killing.
That's a hell of a reason to go
to jail isn't it?
"A lot of you young kids
have never met some of your
uncles and cousins and fathers

and things that you would have

dent Philpott for more than two
hours, it was agreed that the
group will meet with the presi­dent
and the Council of Deans
Monday for further negotiating.
"We will present a list of de­mands
at our meeting Monday and
will demand a definite answer
on each point at that time," said
Don Williams, president of the
Association.
"If the reaction is negative,
we will decide at that time what
further action we will take," he
said.
The list of demands included:
a Black Studies program at Au­burn
by next fall i n c l u d i ng
courses in Black History and
Black Rhetoric to be taught by a
black instructor; more black fa­culty
members; the hiring of a
black to act as recruiter to get
more black students at Auburn;
office space for the Association
to function as a Black Student
Government; and immediate re­jection
of a recent committee re­commendation
that all entertain­ment
presented at Auburn be
handled through one person or
committee.
The meeting Monday will be
held at 3 p.m. in the president's
office.
Nine Auburn students face
charges of possesion of il­legal
drugs at the Lee County
Circuit Court in Opelika. The
dates of their trials are not
definite due to the* large num­ber
of cases on the docket.
The students charged are:
Clyde DeVore, 4GSY; Richard
Rieher, 2GB; Fredrick Crispen,
3GB; Jack Clark, 3CE; Michael
Harris, 3IE; JohnHorzempa, 1GB;
Ottis Stephenson, OTH; George
Newman, 4TH; and DavidCerul-lo,
1PN.
Their cases were originally
scheduled for last Monday but
Judge L.J. Tyner said that a
large number of murder and rob­bery
cases forced the postpone­ment.
Ten other men also face
charges for possession of illegal
drugs. The charges include pos­session
of marijuana, barbitu­rates,
amphetamines and LSD.
Open air forum recommendations
submitted to President Philpott
"1 am favorably inclined
toward approving this recom­mendation
but I am anxious
to hear the opinions of any
interested parties before
taking any action," stated
Pres. Harry M. Philpott
concerning a report suggest­ing
a new location and new
operating policy for the Open
Air Forum.
The report submitted by Dean
Edward Hobbs:, chairman of the
special ad hoc committee to
recommend policies on open air
speakers, was an outgrowth of
the committee's May 20 meeting
at which Dr. Thomas Carrington ,
Dr. Malcolm McMillan .Alexander
Posniak and Dr. Frank Davis,
Haley Center-based department
heads, stated that the loud
speakers and crowds so close
to Haley Center did constitute
a distrubance and disruption
of business in classrooms and
offices.
The need for the review of
the operating policy became ap­parent
on a recent moratorium
day sponsored by the Human
Rights Forum when controversy
arose over the use of the system.
The recommended new location
for the Forum is on the sidewalk
connecting the Commons and
Haley Center. This location was
tested in a public address system
experiment conducted on a
regular class day between 10:10
a.m. and 10:30 a.m. at the Com­mons.
The experiment did not
disturb classes or offices in
building according to Dr. Howard
Carr and Dr. Leonard Burton.
While the noise was audible
in Dorms nine and 10, no one
protested.
This new location will also
be more centrally located when
the Fine Arts Center and Fish­eries
Buildings are complete.
The policy statement con­cerning
the use and management
of the Open Air Form states the
purpose is "To present and to
debate public issues." The
policy further states that indi­viduals
and groups who are
not members of the campus will
be prohibited to use the Forum
for commercial or political
activities.
Other provisions of the sug­gested
operating policy are:
Auburn University faculty.,
students , staff and admin­istrators
are eligible to use the
Open Air Forum for its stated
purposes. Off-campus organiza­tions
and individuals may also
use the facilities of the Open
Air Forum provided that they are
officially sponsored by a
chartered student organization
or by other recognized Univer­sity
agencies or organizations
and are appropriately scheduled.

organizations wishing to use
or sponsor the use of the Open

THE AUBURN PUINSMVN -2 Friday, May 28, 1971
Philpott approves date ticket provision
A provision of the new
football ticket distribution
system enabling students to
purchase a special "non-student
date" ticket has been
approved by Pres. Harry M.
Philpott. The date ticket
provision lias been the sub­ject
of controversy between
the Student Senate football
ticket committee and the
Athletic Department as well
as the presently unapproved
provision that would allow
non-student husbands of stu­dent
wives to purchase stu­dent
tickets.
Students who wish to bring
"non-student dates" to foot­ball
games may have their
tickets validated, enabling
them to sit in the student
section. The new ticket dis­tribution
system has been in
effect this spring permitting
s t u d e n t s to order season
ticket seats by mail.
The question of whether
non-student husbands could
buy student tickets may be
reconsidered next year. Stu­dent
Government Association
Pres. Jimmy Tucker said
that the number of students
able to buy tickets next year
could be reduced by requiring
student buyers to be enrolled
with at least 10 hours of
course work, thus allowing
non-student husbands to pur­chase
the lag in the ticket
supply.
The "non-student date"
ticket and non-student hus­band
status provisions were
brought before the Faculty
Athletic Committee last
Thursday before President
Philpott had made a decision.
The committee, acting only
as an adviser to Philpott,
listened to Tucker discuss
the two points of controversy.
Earlier, those senators
favoring the two controversial
provisions, such as Bob
Wilson and Jimmy Blake of

the Jeffrey Frazier Stein Award, also presented each year by ODK to the outstand­ing
sophomore student on campus.
the student ticket committee,
listed their reasons for sup­port:
not approving the non-student
husband provision
would amount to discrimina­tion
against student wives
since student husbands may
bring their non-student wives
to games with a student tick­et;
second.with the availabi­lity
of date tickets, scalp­ing
and other ticket abuses
would be reduced.
Athletic Director G. W.
Beard and Director of Ticket
Sales Bill Beckwith opposed
the provisions. Beard com­mented
that the policy of
non-student wives being al­lowed
to purchase tickets

Editor speaks
at banquet
Duard Le Grand, editor
of the Birmingham Post-
Herald, will speak Friday
night at the annual Plains­man
banquet in the Auburn
. Union Ballroom.
The Mary Whitley Award,
annually presented to the
outstanding junior in journal­ism,
will be awarded at the
banquet. The award is in
honor of Miss Whitley, 1966
editor of The Plainsman,
who was killed in an auto­mobile
accident.
A new award, the William
Winton Watkins Award, will
be presented to the staff
member who has "demon­strated
a remarkable degree
of cheerfulness, selfless­ness
and friendship." The
award is in honor of Wat-kins,
business manager of
the 1969-70 Plainsman.
was first enacted after World
War II as a favor to veterans.
He based his opposition on
the point that the husband,
not the wife, is the bread
earner. Fearing the possible
misuse of the proposed pri­vilege.
Beard said, "It is
not a matter of student rights,
but of student privileges."
Beckwith feared that the
two proposals would lead to
scalping and difficulty in
handling procedures. "No
one should sit in the student
or faculty section unless he
is a student or faculty mem­ber
at Auburn," said Beck­with.
Concerning date
tickets, he proposed setting
up a date section in the end
zones with all tickets costing
one dollar.
Bob Wilson, chairman of
the senate ticket committee,
commented, "At no time has
the athletic department had a
closed door. They are willing
to talk and a lot has been
done, except on these two
points. There has just not
been enough talking."
Tucker said , "the
Athletic Department seems
more unwilling to carry out
these two proposals than un­able.
The ticket office has
not given a valid reason for
not incorporating the new
plan and that is why we
brought it before the Athletic
Committee."

Insurance offers variety
Two different accident and
sickness insurance plans
will be offered to students
next fall through the Student
Insurance Program Com­mittee
.
Students will be able to
purchase a "low-pre.nium"
policy with benefits similar
to last year's insurance plan
and/or a "high-premium"
policy with extra benefits.
Dr. Edward Taylor, ad­ministrator
of the student
insurance program, said that
the policies to be offered
next year are "a bargain for
students," and feature a
"relatively low premium"
compared to programs at
other schools.
The "low premium" policy
will be available for $12 per
single student; $24 for a
student- and his wife and
children. The benefits in­clude
basic hospital costs
as defined by the policy.
The "high premium" plan
extends benefits covered in
the "low premium" policy.
For example, the "low" plan
pays a $20 a day limit on
hospital costs while the
"high" plan covers all costs
incurred. Optional maternity
benefits in the "high"plan
pay $150 for a $40 extra pre­mium.
Premium rates for the
"high" plan are $27 per sin­gle
student, $54 for a student
and his wife and $81 for a
student, his wife, and chil­dren.
The Student Insurance Pro­gram
Committee, an operation
of the Student Government
Association, selected the
plans from a pool of bids
from different insurance com­panies.
Applications for poli­cies
will be mailed to stu­dents
over the summer and
distributed during registra­tion
next fall.
Dr. Taylor said that the
service from the student in­surance
program this year
has been "good with only a
couple of complaints." Ap­proximately
2500 students
purchased policies this year.
The Continental Insurance
Company will be underwriting
the p o l i c i e s through the
Montgomery branch of Hig-ham,
Neilson, Whitridge and
Reid Insurance Agency. Poli­cies
will become effective
in mid September.
Members of the Student In­surance

SSI donates funds to seven groups
Student Services, Inc.
has donated $1,330 to seven
campus and student related
organizations.
The private, non-profit or­ganization
operated by five
former Student Government
Association officials gave
$600 to the Student Emer­gency
Loan Fund, $250 to
the problem pregnancy coun­seling
service, $190 to the
draft counseling service,
$100 to Campus Crusade for
Christ, $100 to WEGL, $50
to the Crisis Center and $40
to the Student Discipline
Revision Committee.
The Student Emergency
Loan Fund before SSI's dona­tion
had no funds. A student
may now borrow up to $50 for
a short-term, interest-free
loan.
The Problem Pregnancy
counseling service is oper­ated
by four local ministers
to counsel pregnant women
who may be considering abor­tion.
WEGL plans to buy'a press,
box banner with the $100 do­nated
by SSI.
The Crisis Center is pre­sently
operating on weekends
because of lack of funds.
Any person with a problem
may call 821-8600 to talk
about his problem and find
out where to go for help.
The money given to the
Discipline Revision Com­mittee
will cover costs in­volved
in compiling the com­mittee
report, such as sec­retaries'
fees and paper,
said Chester Harvey, an SSI
director.
Harvey said that SSI plans

Recent cutback of federal funds
may holder high school seniors
A possible 10,000 Ala­bama
high school seniors
wishing to attend college in
fall will be hindered by the
recent cutback of federal
funds for student financial
assistance, according to
Charles Roberts, director
of Student Financial Aid.
Although three times as
many students than a year
ago have requested financial
assistance, the state of
Alabama received only $4.2
million, 60 per cent less
than was requested in funds.
Last week, Roberts
headed a state delegation
in Washington, D„C. to
determine the reason for
the cutback. The group met
with the president of the
Commission of Education
and the congressmen from
Alabama. Roberts said that
Alabama was the first of the
five states receiving severe
cutbacks to lodge a protest,
valuable because it informed
Alabama's congressmen of
"the importance of the fi­nancial
assistance programs
to students and the overall
Although the delegation
did not obtain an increased
allocation for the state,
Roberts felt that the trip was
educational system."
The delegation requested
to see the figures used to
calculate Alabama's pro­portion
of the national allot­ment
and, if the figures
proved correct, wanted a
supplement to the money
already received. Roberts
stated that even if an
increased allocation had
been granted it could not
have been utilized this
summer.
The funding allocations
process for each state is
determined by three factors-the
number of persons under
18 who come from families
with a yearly income of
under $3,200.

Reasoning together
When 25 members of the Afro-Amer­ican
Association confronted President
Philpott with a list of "immediate
demands" Wednesday, our thoughts
went back to the biblical quote which
President Philpott uses so often in
his speeches: "Come, let us reason
together."
Black students at Auburn definitely
have some valid complaints which de­serve
immediate attention.
Black students make up less than
one per cent of Auburn's student body
and most of Auburn's white students
still seem to be living in the past by
refusing to accept the simple fact
that blacks should be accepted and
trusted on an equal basis with whites.
But we feel very strongly that con­frontation
and demands for immediate
change are not the best way to accom­plish
anything.
We sympathize with the feelingsof
the Afro-American Association and
feel that most of their demands should
be met if possible.
But we also sympathize with the
problems which our administration
faces. Realistically, nothing can
change overnight at Auburn.
We hope that the administration and
the Afro-American Association can
"reason together" and work toward
solving the problems which face our
University in the area of human
rights.

The journalistic symbol for "the
end" is "30," and this week we sign
it below our editorial column, rele­gating
Volume 98 of The Auburn
Plainsman to be bound and shelved
with the dusty volumes from other for­gotten
years.
Volume 98 has recorded a number
of significant developments at Auburn,
developments which we hope will ul­timately
materialize in long overdue
changes.
The increase in black students' ac­tivism,
for example, we would like to
see culminate in a redoubling of the
University's efforts to repair a cen­tury
of neglect to the needs of blacks
in the state. We want not tokenism but
a meaningful effort on the part of ad­ministrators,
faculty, and students to
meet blacks as much more than half­way
as is necessary to draw them
fully into the University community.
The same need exists for attention to
the other neglected minority on cam­pus,
foreign students.
We urge Pies. Harry M. Philpott to
cling to his dream of living-learning
centers for all freshmen, with which
Auburn could in one step provide a
more relevant and more individualized
education lor underclassmen, decrease
emphasis on Greek membership and
emphasize instead growth through con­tact
with many different kinds of stu­dents,
and utilize dormitories for a
better purpose than caging coeds.
Though we are hoarse from repeat­ing
it, let us say one more time that
women's rules must go. They are in­equitable
and unnecessary. Without
them, there could be more effective
utilization within the University of
the time and talents of the dean of
women and her staff (viva the belt
tightening).
Also, Associated Women Students
could then practically and effectively
be incorporated under the auspices of
the Student Government Association.
After that move, perhaps women at
Auburn would be treated like people
instead of ornaments, and perhaps
they would be encouraged to seek full
intellectual as well as social develop­ment.
We hope for the continuing expan­sion
of Horizons Symposium, which
was a smashing success this year
and which is quite probably the most
worthwhile student endeavor in terms
of extracurricular education at Auburn.
The freedom of students to select the
slate of speakers is of course theim-perative
element in Horizons' suc­cess
and must be preserved.
We congratulate Dr. William Turk
for the improvements he has made
thus far in the service offered by
Drake Infirmary. But we urge the Uni­versity
to abandon its "hands off be­cause"
it's naughty" attitude toward
providing birth control information and
contraceptives to students when that
need is so apparent, and so natural
in a college community.
We hope for the expansion of the
services of the Crisis Center, the
only positive result of a year of fric­tion
between pro and anti drug forces.
We urge students not to yield to the
temptation to turn off on society be­cause
of the inequity of drug laws,
but to search for meaningful methods
to change those laws.
We urge, too, continued supportof
the effort to revamp the discipline
system at Auburn until it recognizes
students as adults who are respon­sible
to society for their own actions.
The University cannot play parent
figure there, or elsewhere, to 13,250
students, and its attempts along that
line should be abandoned as out­moded.
Students should have a voice on
the Board of Trustees. Students should
swing a little weight in the University
Senate'. (At present, any weight at all
would be more than students carry.)
Perhaps the answer lies in combining
the StudentSenatewith the University
Senate.
We encourage Student Services,
Inc. (SSI) in its altruism through
philanthropy (story, page 3 ) and en­dorse
its effort to support worthy com­munity
projects. Operated autonomous­ly
from student government, SSI can
develop into a valuable asset.
Statewide, we are hopeful that 18-
year-olds will continue to seek their
voice in state and local elections. If
they win it, perhaps students can use
it to alter the relationship which
equates Alabama students with chil­dren
and the Alabama legislature with
Santa Claus where funds for educa­tion
are concerned. That relationship
is hopelessly inappropriate.
We hope for these changes and
many more.
But overall, we hope for a posi­tive,
reasonable, rational approach to
our many problems. We plead for open
minds and limitless tolerance.
If you'll forgive our simplistic
idealism, which miraculously has
survived through our editorial tirades,
we dream of a day when Auburn will
be a place of peace, or of happiness-the
terms are synonymous-for every­one.

The Choice
Scoff Greenhffl
Plainsman photo by John Creel
The light from the campfire
had died so that the lines of
his face were no longer dis­tinguishable
in the black of
the coming night.
They had come to this place
in need of the peace it always
offered. They sat within en­circling
pines and waited as
the night deepened. The only
sounds were a whippoorwill
just above them, and, far away,
the honking of geese.
The stars were brilliant and
thick against the deep navy
sky. From where they sat, the
stars through the pines looked
like twinkle lights in Christ­mas
trees, with lightning bugs
the flashers.
He was almost never seri­ous.
But now it had been quite
some time since the goofy
lopsided grin had crossed
his face. He used the grin to
conceal his softness; with­out
it, he was vulnerable.
"It's funny, isn't it," he
said, ' 'that choosing your oc­cupation
has to mean choos­ing
what you will do and
where you will be and who
you will be with for the rest
of your life."
It was no funnier than the
other things they had talked
about; the transience of youth
and the meaninglessness of
what had mattered so urgently
before.
Nor was it any funnier than
all of what had gone unsaid.
The Choice.
Because of what it would
mean, he had refused to make
it, though he was as much a
man as anyone ever is. She
was pulling for him, knowing
he could not hold out much
longer .
Words would be superfluous,
so they listened to the whip­poorwill
and the hush. Only a
few coals glowed dimly in the
firebed.
There was a distant rumble
and then the rhythmic roar of
a night train, its whistle in­finitely
sad.
The whippoorwill lamented
the train's intrusion as though
to question the need for rush­ing
anywhere, for whatever
reason. Surely no destination
city no matter how bustling
could be more splendid than
the silent pines.
The two of them were like
trains. Each was hurtling down
a track, reluctant but driven.
The two tracks led to different
destinations, neither one
necessarily preferable, or
any more clearly the right
one.
There would be other times,
but of course they would never
be quite the same; times
never are.
Thinking of it, they were
tempted to sadness. But they
did not yield because the oc­casion
of their touching one
another, however briefly, was
one for deep quiet joy.
The train had pierced the
peace with reality, and it was
too cold to stay longer.
They walked away haltingly
through the utter darkness,
unable to see at all.
Bubbles are something AU student knows quite a lot about
The bubble-top umbrella
is the latest innovation in
raingear. Rain is something
the Auburn student knows
quite a bit about. Winter's
bone chilling rains and mot­tled,
grey skys are behind
us, but summer's electric
thunderstorms and dense
air await.
Bubbles, too,are something
the Auburn student knows
quite a bit about. And as
bubbles go, a few went.
When women's liberation-ist
Gloria Steinem spoke
last week she popped a bub­ble
long held by many. It
seems that a good looking
woman can and does say
John Samford
words that I can't print.
And in mixed company to
boot.
When a student was ar­rested
in a University dormi­tory
on possession of illegal
drugs, i.e., growing mari­juana,
another very sacred
bubble went the way of all
bubbles.
For the first time this year
a warrant was issued for a
single room in a multiple
housing unit. (Beware, fra­ternity
houses and other Uni­versity
dormitories.)
The AU version of The
Revolution as envisioned by
some campus activists and
associated bubble heads was
in for some bubble bursting.
The let's-wait-and-plan group
defeated the tonight's-the-night
- while - the - momen­tum's
- high group.
Last Thursday's sleep out
was a good indication of
just where Anita Page's con­stituency
really is-safe in
their dorm rooms, snug in
their beds.
So long as the bubble was
intact, the notion was that
Auburn coeds wanted adult
freedoms badly enough to
legally spend the night on
Dean Cater's lawn.
Exception: The last three
weeks of lethargic response
by students to activism have
left the rethoric bubble largely
intact. Frenzied cries of "We
are the people!" are still
expected any day now (after
finals, maybe next fall) to
move the student body to mass
action.
On the senior scene, the
coed who graduates with the
MRS as well as her BA finds
that she may have to work
after all.
When the country's econo­mic
bubble machine clogged
last year, it started a whole
series of related bubble pop­ping,
especially for seniors.
Suddenly education, i.e., the
college diploma, could no
longer command a "position,"
much less a "job" for the
graduate. If she is lucky
enough to get work in her
field, the MRS graduate real­ly
needs it. Her engineer
husband more than likely is
having a tough time getting
hired.
As the year ends, even
freshmen seem to be coming
out of their wide-eyed, wild-eyed
wow-I'm-at-college bub­ble.
All of this just goes to
say that a bubble is a fragile
thing.
College, graduation, job opportunities - we have been misled
Graduation is traditionally
a time of happiness and chal­lenge
for most seniors as
they are simultaneously re­warded
for their work in col­lege
and thrust out into the
world to "prove" themselves.
If I were graduating this
quarter, I don't believe I
would be feeling too happy-nor
would I feel challenged.
I honestly think that more
than anything else, I would
feel shafted.
Although college is not
my idea of an ideal place
to spend the rest of my life,
I'm glad to be hanging a-round
for a little while longer.
The way things are going,
it's very difficult to imagine
what the average college
graduate will do after he
leaves college.
The main problem is the
lack of job opportunities
available at the moment.
On the national level,
it's been estimated that 75
per cent of this year's col­lege
graduates will not be
able to find jobs on a level
equivalent to their training.
Practically every college
student today has, like my­self,
always been fed a
steady diet of information
encouraging him to finish
college. "You'll never get
anywhere if you drop out,"
we've always been told.
Now we're beginning to
see that we might finish
graduate school and still
never get anywhere.
Here at Auburn, 40 per
cent fewer companies active­ly
recruited for jobs this
year than did two years ago.
And among those companies,
only half as many jobs were
open.
Things don't look too good.
The dean of a very prominent
Women's awareness infiltrates AU
By Anita Page
Associated Women Students President
For those who participated in the
"legal" demonstration last week, it
was no doubt an educational experience
and a psychologist's and sociologist's
field day in the study of crowd move­ments.
What was originally designed to
be a serious demonstration against
discriminatory rules on the basis of
sex turned out to be an open-air party
with a predominantly male attendance.
But such is the beginning of any new
movement on the Auburn campus.
Whether the recent "legal" demonstra­tion
was a success in terms of numbers
is immaterial, and whether everyone
who was there knew what they were
there for is relatively unimportant, also.
What is important, though, is that a
significant number of people have be­come
aware of a situation on the Auburn
campus in which coeds are being
discriminated against in terms of housing
and, possibly, job opportunities and
enrollment policies. Even more important
is that this significant number of
people are becoming involved in the
process of alleviating these discrimina­tory
policies.
Sex discrimination, however, does
not begin or end on the Auburn campus.
Presently, a nationwide women's
movement is evolving in which women's
groups are using the courts and other
legal means to abolish many of tile
present law codes which are discrim­inatory
in terms of sex.
For instance, the Equal Rights
Amendment, a proposal to add the
word "sex" to the 14th Amendment and
thus clarify the status of women, will
soon be introduced on the floor of
Congress. The resolution has previous­ly
been defeated twice, and is presently
snagged in the House Judiciary Com­mittee,
pending introduction on the
floor. Its defeat would be deleterious
to the women's movement and to any
woman who seeks advancement beyond
the roles traditionally provided for her.
The Women's Equity Action League
out of Columbus, Ohio, works closely
with the Department of Health, Educa­tion
and Welfare in bringing court suits
against firms and universities in which
eyidences of discrimination are found.
This foundation has handled numerous
cases and has recently conducted a
revealing investigation of Colorado
State University and its surrounding
community.
Numerous national organizations
are springing up all over the United
States, Some such as SCUM (Society
to Cut Up Men), are more radical in
their approach to the problem, while
others, such as NOW (National Orga­nization
for Women) , use lobbying
and other pressure tactics in the
courts and legislatures to demonstrate
their beliefs.
It is interesting to note that according
to the President's Task Force on
Women's Rights, most of the support
for Women's Liberation groups is in
the southern United States. The im­plications
are interesting and perhaps
worth pursuing.
Slowly but surely, the impact of this
national surge of women's awareness
is infiltrating the Auburn campus, as
evidenced by the "equality" demon­stration
lastweek.lt is a welcome trend
and a positive indication that the
age-old stereotype of the passive,
submissive, inferior female at Auburn
is giving way to a more realistic 20th-century
concept in which women are
expected to participate in economic
and political, as well as social mat­ters
and stand beside man in running a
world which has enough problems
already, without trifling with the man
made concept of the inequality of the
sexes.
eastern law school remarked
recently that "As far as I
can tell, over half of this
year's graduates from law
school will be out driving
taxis in New York this sum­mer."
For many of those lucky
students who can't find jobs,
one traditional happy activity
for a few years could be
be serving in the armed
forces. That possibility how­ever,
doesn't look too prom­ising
this year either.
Although there isn't any
problem getting jobs in this
area, the nature of the work
is what is discouraging.
The job would probably
involve going to Vietnam
where our country continues
to wage a war which most
of us simply cannot under­stand.
The chances are good
that a soldier might be killed
or seriously injured in Viet­nam.
Fifty-five thousand
Americans have already died
in this senseless game we
seem to be playing in South­east
Asia.
And a new combat danger
was pointed out recently
when figures were released
e stimating that anywhere
from 30,000 to 40,000 Ameri­can
soldiers have become
addicted to heroin while
stationed in Vietnam. This
threat is, to many, more
serious than death. Most
of these men will never a-gain
lead normal lives in
American society.
There's no doubting the
fact that we are lucky to
have the opportunity to at­tend
college. But somewhere
along the way it looks as
if weVe been mislead.
College graduation this
year will be, for many, an
occasion which doesn't
deserve celebrating.

'Demonstrations just imitate9 Continued from page I
Editor, The Plainsman:
It's obvious spring is official­ly
here-the fair-weather re­volutionaries
of Auburn are
out in full dress, led by Jim
Mengel.
The comical behavior they
exhibited on moratorium day is
typical however of the true sen­timents
of students here at
Auburn. These Auburn students ,
it seems, are pleading for a
cause for which they may
demonstrate, talk about and
protest. These same students
however are not willing to try to
work for changes here at Auburn;
it's much easier to talk about
them.
It seems obvious that these
demonstrations are not a result
of a genuine desire for change
as it is to show that Auburn,
despite its conservatism, can
have demonstrations like other
colleges. It seems that less time
could be spent trying to imitate
other universities and more time
spent trying to bring about
actual changes, for despite
many students' unwillingness to
work-for these needed reforms,
they're no doubt what we all
desire.
Name withheld by request
'SGA needs
prodding, help'
Editor, The Plainsman:
The Auburn Plainsman reached
a new level of misinformation
and contradictory opinion on
the part of its editor.
Miss Bradford's article, "Pro­test,
Trees hide forest," is
based upon the false presup­position
that the Human Rights
(HRF) moratorium was set up
along the guidelines of the Stu­dent
Mobilization Committee
(SMC) "to carry out the mora­torium
on a person-to-person
level by engaging others in
discussions of the war." While
this possibility was discussed
by HRF members, it was rejected
for a more inclusive demonstra­tion.
The killings at Kent State
took place on a campus where,
according to the Scranton Com­mission
report, "most students
were either conservative or a-political,"
a situation not so
different from that of Auburn.
The deaths of those Kent
State students reflect much more
than just the problems of a na­tion
involved in an unpopular
war; they reflect what can hap­pen
when law and order are held
in higher esteem than human
life.
At the time of the violation
of the advertising law at Auburn,
it appeared to those who sup­ported
its violation not only that
it was of doubtful legality, but
further, that its implementation
at that same time made the mora­torium
an utter travesty.
It may be significant to note
that Miss Bradford, without a
clear understanding of the pur­pose
of the moratorium, agreed
to speak on "coed involvement
at Auburn," a topic clearly not
in the spirit of SMC. Thus, in
order to be consistent with the
moratorium she had to be both
factually incorrect and incon­sistent
with her own views.
Miss Bradford's description
of the march was also incorrect.
She stated that the demonstrators
demanded of Col. Andy Lamar
"that he halt the war." This
simplistic view is totally in­consistent
with both the letter
and spirit of what Harlan
Stafford, HRF president, re­quested.
That is, first, "that Colonel
Lamar notify his immediate
superior and Pres. Richard M.
Nixon that this group favored
the setting of an immediate
withdrawal date for all American
forces in Southeast Asia" and
secondly, "that President
Philpott do what he could to see
that the war was ended. It was
not demanded of both that they
alone halt the war.
More significantly, a more
important statement by President
Philpott that he did not feel
that students should be allowed
to register and vote in Auburn.
"if their roots were elsewhere"
was not reported but which, it
seems, should be vigorously
protested by responsible stu­dents
and faculty alike.
Miss Bradford also chose not
to comment on the result of the
demonstrators" rushing off to
sail paper airplanes down the
hall outside the SGA office,"
that is, the open forum held
Wednesday night where at least
some of our SGA officers learned
there were some students who
were concerned with repressive
rules at Auburn and with what
their SGA is doing about it.
The lesson to be learned by
all from this forum should be
that with planning and improved
communications (i.e. the use of
public address systems in the
area of Haley Center) the SGA
can rally support for itself and
recommendations presented to
the administration after long
diligent committee work, and
with this support get something
accomplished.
Perhaps, judging from her
statement at the forum, Miss
Bradford feels the communica­tions
at Auburn are sufficient
with The Plainsman, WEGL and
Praxis. However, in light of the
uninformed student body and
the dichotomous nature of com­munications
(transmitter and
receiver) it is doubtful that the
past forms of "communications"
have communicated at all.
With one statement I cannot
disagree-Miss Bradford could
not conceal her cynicism. Per­haps
some of us, including
graduating seniors, are some­what
less cynical.
We believe that both with some
prodding and with some help the
SGA can effect change-but the
prodding must be there as well
as the help.
The SGA should come to the
student body, inform them, and
ask them for their help. I present
our Plainsman editor a modified
version of a familiar anti-war
slogan, "what if the SGA,
through the prodding of some
campus activists, asked for
help and everybody came?"

Editor, The Plainsman:
From time to time I have
heard critical comments con­cerning
the medical care provided
at Drake Infirmary.
Not knowing the circumstances,
I can't judge the validity of
these comments; however, I
recently had an opportunity to
form my own opinions first hand.
I was burned on the hands and
face by a flash fire while work­ing
in a University research j ab.
A friend drove me to Drake, and
within minutes a doctor and
nurses were treating my burns.
Believe me, it was mighty com­forting
to be in trained andjskill-ful
hands so soon after being
hurt.
During the 12 days I remained
in the infirmary , the doctor and
nurses spent hours, literally,
tending my burns, and I received
similarly excellent care from the
entire staff. I couldn't have
asked for better.
Cost may be secondary when
it comes to one's health, but I
can't help thinking about the
bill for 12 days in a private
room (which I had at the infirma­ry)
in a public hospital. Even
without including doctors' bills
it would be staggering. As stu­dents,
we have access to com­parable
or better care at Drake
Infirmary for S7 a quarter.
I suspect that critical com­ments
regarding Drake come
mostly from students who had
very minor ailments. Anyone with
a genuine need for care will not
find the infirmary wanting.

'Plainsman did
excellent job'
Editor, The Plainsman:
It goes without saying that
a newspaper can never com­pletely
satisfy its readers.
During the past year I have
personally disagreed with a few
editorials in The Plainsman.
However, in my estimation,
varied viewpoints and accurate
reporting are "what it's all
about." Along these lines I
believe you have done an excel­lent
job.
Congratulations on a great
year.

Unusual events
highlight season
It is the end of the year in Auburn University sports,
and, for some reason, it is always a year-ending tradition to
discuss the events gone by in that season.
Well, what happened? The football team was 8-2, the bas­ketball
team was 10-15, and the baseball team was 23-16.
The track team, and the golf team finished sixth in the con­ference,
while the tennis team showed up at its meets. It
was really not that much different from the year previous to
it. But, somehow, it seemed to be a year distinct from all
others, a year to remember as particular and peculiar in the
annals of Auburn athletics.
Pat Sullivan and Terry Beasley. If you've heard it once,
you've heard it a million times, it seems. People that aren't
football fans could get sick of hearing it. And the two men

who bear those names" will be quick to tell you that part of
the credit for their success goes to the unknowns that do
the blocking in front of them. But they are marked as great,
as stars of the time. A driving rain, injuries, and determined
and tough opposition kept them from being part of a perfect
season in 1970, but they established records of such impor­tance
that they were singled out to national acclaim. To a
treat degree, they were responsible for 1970 being different
fnm other years.
On the basketball team, as opposed tothe usual collection
of fairly good players, there was a wealth of very special
men on the team in 1970-72. One of them was All-America
and a pro prospect. But, the basketball team had its worst
record in the last 21 years, and there were a lot of dis­gruntled
students wondering why. No one really knows what
happened,but it was definitely a different basketball season
from the ones before it.
The baseball team was a good one but they didn't win the
important games. The track team's success was dominated
by the Bresler brothers, Alvin and Milton, who both achieved
top ranking in the country as intermediate hurdlers.
So, an unusual year in Auburn sports. And, consequently,
there are some unusual thank you's that I would like to ex­tend.
The first, and possibly most important, is to the people
in the Sports Information office. Buddy Davidson, Joe Cook,
Mike Merrill, and Nancy French are invaluable to all sports
writers in Alabama, and without them, a lot of Auburn sports
would never be heard of.
And, secondly, the co-workers in The Plainsman office
deserve a thank you for being considerate of a rookie in the
writing business. They are some of the nicest people around.
And, finally, the Auburn athletes get a thank you for being
talented, persevering, and, for the most part, winning units
that make it very easy to write about.
Auburn ploys host
to invitational meet
Most of the outstanding
track talent in the South will
be in Auburn Saturday for the
Wilbur Hutsell Track dedica­tion
meet. Preliminaries in
the sprints and finals in long
jump and javelin will start
at 10 a„m. The afternoon
schedule begins at 1:15.
Eleven teams have entered
the meet, which will be
scored on a 6-4-3-2-1 basis.
Ten nessee will have a strong
entry, along with Georgia
Tech, FSU, Alabama, and
Florida. Auburn plans to
enter a full team.
Every event should be
highly contested, and most
of the new track records set
in three dual meets on the
Plains this year should fall.
The dedication ceremonies
will be held between the 440
relay and the mile run, with
Auburn President Dr. Harry
M. Philpott making the
dedicatory remarks. All of
Coach Hutsell's former
athletes are invited to attend
the meet and the reception
ih the Athletic Department
lobby immediately following
the meet.

Hold on!
By Richard Little .
Plainsman Sports Writer
One of the more interested
observers of Saturday's A-Day
game was Bill Battle,
and the .Tennessee head
coach walked away quite
impressed.
"Well, what could you say
about the game?" said
Battle as he walked down
the steps from the press box.
Sullivan was great, Beasley
was great, and that Beverly-wow,
Auburn could win a
game on their kicking alone,
and Sullivan and Beasley,"
"There was no weakness
in Auburn that I could find,"
continued the Volunteer
head mentor, "I had hoped
not to see any good running
backs, but it looks like
Sullivan, Beasley-led Whites
annihilate the Blues 27-0
By Richard Little
Plainsman Sports Writer
Pat Sullivan and Terry
Beasley will not be in
shape for the A-Day game,
Coach Ralph 'Snug' Jor­dan
warned last week. Do
not expect them to do
much, he continued.
Ignoring such warnings,
a record crowd of 22,000
turned out to watch the Sul­livan
and Beasley-led Whites
annihilate the Blues, 27-0.
All the famous duo of Pat
to Terry did was to combine
for four passes, totaling
91 yards and three touch­downs.
Out of shape or not, Sul­livan
and Beasley gave the
fans their money's worth
Saturday afternoon. Sullivan
hit l?-of-22passes for a total
of 222yards, and threetouch-downs,
and was awarded
the game's outstanding of­fensive
player.
"What can I say about
Sullivan?" asked Jordan
after the game.
"What can I say about
Beasley? It's all been said
before," he continued.
After an early exchange
of fumbles, Sullivan and
Beasley initiated the scor­ing
with a 17 yard pass
with ten minutes gone in
the first quarter. Beasley
caught the ball on the six,
then eluded three tacklers,
falling into the end zone
for the score. The play cap­ped
off an 80 yard drive.
After the Blues punted,
the Whites came roaring
back, driving 29 yards to
the Blue 49. Next came the
most unusual play of the
game. Sullivan hit reserve
back David Shelby for a
short pass, but after being
hit hard, Shelby fumbled
the ball forward. Beasley

BUTTERWORTH'S
scooped the ball up, field­ing
like a shortstop, and
out-raced all defenders 35
yards for the score.
The Blues then came back
after an exchange of punts,
driving 78 yards, only to
be stopped on the White
two yard line. White line­backer
Jim Sirmans made
the decisive play, dumping
Blue Quarterback Ralph
Brock for no gain on a fourth
down end sweep.
After the half, Syllivan
and Beasley combined a-gain,
with Beasley coming
in for his only play of the
half, beating sophomore de­fensive
back David Langner
to catch a 24 yard scoring
pass from Sullivan.
The Blues, led by the
running of Buddy Staggers,
came bapk at .the start of
the fourth quarter, driving
58 yards, only to lose the
ball again on the White two,
this time because of a fum­ble
by Terry Henley.
With Sullivan and Beas­ley
gone, the Whites were
still able to amass a late
score with an 80 yard drive.
A touchdown pass from Ted
Smith to Doug Brasse cap­ped
off the drive.
Though the Blues were
unable to score, they still
gained a total of 284 yards,
208 of those coming on the
ground, while the Whites
amassed 351 total yards,
273 in the air.
The runners then were
on the Blue team in the
persons of Henley, and Stag­gers.
Henley carried the ball
23 times for 95 yards, but
made two critical fumbles,
while Staggers ran 13 times
for 66.
Coach Jordan wanted to
run the ball more, but as
he admitted, "It's tough
to keep the boys from doing
what they do best."
Sullivan and his reserve
Smith (who completed four
of six passes himself) rid­dled
the inexperienced Blue
secondary all afternoon.
The outmanned Blue defen­sive
backfield was hurt by
the incapacity of Langner,
who was slowed by a knee
injury the previous Wednes­day.
Langner's play was a
highlight of the spring prac­tice,
and Jordan warned his
play Saturday was not an
indication of what he could
do.
"Obviously, the knee in­jury
hurt him," Jordan said,
"But we still expect a lot
out of that boy."
Though the defense did
show some warning signs,
there were still rays of
hope. Sophomore Larry Tay­lor,
a6'-2",237 pound tackle
was voted the games out­standing
defensive player.
Jordan also praised the
play of Bob and Bill Newton,
twins from Fayette, Ala.
Bob is fighting Taylor for
the other tackle position,
beside team co-captain
Tommy Yearout.
Bill, unlike his brother, is
a non-scholarship athlete.
Besides making numerous
tackles Saturday, he recov­ered
the crucial Sullivan
fumble in the first quarter,
to eliminate a possible
scoring threat.
Another- bright spot for
the Tigers was the punting
of David Beverly. Punting
for both sides, he averaged
48 yards on 10 kicks, in­cluding
a 60-yarder.
"Beverley's punting was
quite impressive," Jordan
said, "I don't guess we
can expect too many more
22-y arder s anymore. He's

going to kick them out of
the stadium now."
Jordan was referring to
the Tennessee game last
year, when instead of going
for a 24 yard field goal, he
ordered a punt. Beverley
responded by booting the
ball out on the Tennessee
two, which eventually led
to a Tiger safety.
"I think the kicking is
definitely set for next year,
after seeing David's punting
today, and with Gardner Jett
doing the place kicking."
Jett, if anybody needs to
be reminded, broke one South­eastern
Conference record
and four Auburn records in
1970, including most points
scored byi kicking, and most
consecutive points after
touchdown. Originally a
non-scholarship player, the
small Jett missed one 29
yard field goal attempt, and
one point after attempt Sat­urday,
but then connected
fa three straight PATs.
Jordan was also high on
Sandy Cannon, a redshirted
junior who transferred from
Marion Institute last year.
Cannon, who wore Cliff
Hare recipient Alvin Bres­ler's
old number (44), showed
Bresler's speed (9.7 in the
100 yard dash, and ability
(four receptions for 60 yards)
Saturday.
Jordan seemed pieaseu
with the spring game and
practice.
" I t ' s hard for the boys to
get out there in the hot wea­ther,"
he said, "But they
really put out this spring.
I want to pay tribute to them,
they deserve i t ."
coach Jordan has come up
with three or four that could
play in our league.
' 'The lines, both offensive
and defensive, look quicker
and stronger than last
year," added the young head
coach," but that Sullivan is
great enough to make the
big play without a good line
in front of him. There's not
much else you could say
about him."
"Not only does Auburn
have Beasley, but they've
come up with what looks
like another good one, in
Sandy Cannon. He reminds
me a lot of Beasley."
' T also saw one linebacker
that should be singled out
from the rest-Bill Newton.
He's a leader, on his actions
alone."
This is rare praise for
Newton, a non-scholarship
athlete, and twin brother of
defensive tackle Bob
Newton, who owns a schol­arship.
Perhaps the biggest play
by Bill Newton came with
less than a minute gone in
the game, when he recovered
a Pat Sullivan fumble on the
blue 36 yard line, eliminat­ing
a scoring chance for the
whites.
When Coach Battle fin­ished
evaluating the Tigers,
he turned to his own team.
"Well, we do have an All-
American linebacker (Jackie
Walker) returning .along
with a fine running back in
Curt Watson, but our problem
is at quarterback," said
Battle. The Volunteers lost
Bobby Scott, a strong
passer who holds the Ten­nessee
career total offense
record to graduation.
The Tigers are scheduled
to invade Knoxville next
September 18 for a game
with the Volunteers, and
the result, if current trends
prevail, could be disastarous
for Aubum.
Last year's game ended
in a 36-23 victory for The
Plainsman, the Volunteers'
only lost last season. The
year before, the Tigers had
gone to Neyland Stadium in
Knoxville, also after hand­ing
the Vols their only
regular season loss the year
before, and were trounced
45-19 by the revenge-minded
Tennessee squad. The
Tigers had six passes
intercepted, lost three fum­bles,
and mishandled four
punts in that horrendous
afternoon.
Battle only smiled when
revenge was mentioned.
"Ithink Auburn has a
definite advantage with an
experienced quarterback,
especially so early in the
season," said Battle,
walking out of the stadium,
"I'd rather be playing them
in Knoxville than in Bir­mingham
or here."
But then, he remarked
painfully:, "That game will
come soon enough."

Tomorrow, Wilbur Hut-sell
Track is officially
dedicated as part of the
Auburn Invitationals. It
is in honor of a man that
has given 50 years of his
life as a devotee to Auburn
track in particular, and
Auburn University in gen­eral.
In 1921, Coach Hutsell be­came
head track coach of
Auburn and until 1963, he
was in that role. Under his
tutelage, Auburn was the
home for SEC, AAU, NCAA,
and even Olympic champions.
In '63, at the age of 70, he
retired from active coaching,
but yet, has rarely missed a
day of practice since. It was
at one of those sessions
that Coach Hutsell was be­ing
posed for pictures to be
used prior to his dedication
ceremony.
As the coach approached
the track where the pictures
were to be taken, he talked
of the honor of having a track
hamed after him.
"Well, I just wish they
had done it 40 years ago,"
he said with a grin on his
face. "There have been a
Near-miss nine ends year
For the ninth straight
season, Paul Nix led the
Auburn baseball team to a
winning season, but probab­ly
none was as disappointing
as the 1971 year, despite
record setting performances
by both the team and in­dividuals.
All it took was two wins
over the Georgia Bulldogs
to have a tie for the division
title, but the Tigers were
not able to do that on the
road. However, there were
some definite bright spots
in the season.
Joey Martin's best year
ever as a Tiger showed the
promise that he had displayed
in high school after three
mediocre seasons in Auburn.
He was able to lead the con­ference
in batting average,
as well as be named to the
SEC's all conference team.
His 55 hits surpassed the
old ie cord of 49 set in 1967
by both Scotty Long and
George Simmons, and his
.417 average was the third
best in Auburn history.
The team was able to de­feat
the old marks of runs,
doubles, and stolen bases,
showing the speed that this
edition of the Tigers had.
In addition, their team bat­ting
average of .302 tied
the second place mark of
all time.
In the 10-4 season-ending
loss to the South Alabama
Jaguars played here, six
Tigers played in their col­legiate
games. Earl Nance,
Larry Kain, Rick Eisenacher,
Martin, Pete Rancont, and
Don Donaldson all com­pleted
their eligibility as an
Auburn baseball player.
In the loss to South Al­abama,
a grand slam homer
by Jerry Devins and a four
of five day by Glen Borgmann
were the chief reasons for
the defeat. Borgmann showed
why he is expected to go
as one of the first two or
three choices in the major
league draft in the two game
series. He was six for nine
in the two games, drove in
two runs, and threw out the
only runner to attempt a
steal on him.
Two misplays by Jaguar
outfielders in the ninth in­ning
of the first game of the
series gave Auburn a 6-5
win: Wayne Hall's pop fly
down the left field line fell;
under a diving effort by the
South Alabama fielder after
he had misjudged it initial­ly,
allowing Hall to go to
second base with a double.
Then, with two outs,
pitcher Eisenacher lifted a
high fly into short right field
for what looked like the
final out of the inning. How­ever,
the second baseman of
the Jaguars and the right
fielder played Alphonse and
Gaston and let the ball fall
between them while Hall
raced around the bases with
the winning run.
Credit for the win went
to Eisenacher for his 20th
career victory. The loss of
Eisenacher, Nance and
Kain will probably pose the
largest problem for Nix in
preparation for next season.

lot of times when I would
try to find a bucket or any­thing,
put a hole in the bot­tom,
and then chalk thelanes
off myself. Now, there's this
beautiful place."
This day is one of Coach
H u t s e l l ' s normal days-friendly,
quick-witted, and
ever smiling. The photo­grapher
got the coach posed
to his liking, and then held
a tiny light meter before the
coach's face. The coach
looked at the instrument, a
befuddled look on his face,
and then with a grin, slyly
announced to everyone stand­ing
around, "My hat size is
six and seven-eighths."
A little later.the photogra­pher
implored the track men
standing around in the back-ground
to move around a
little, and give the picture
some activity in the back­ground.
They did as they
were told, and one of them
began singing "Whistle While
You Work."
The photographer really
enjoyed this, and laughing,
yelled at the a t h l e t e s,
"That's the spirit, boys!"
And Coach Hutsell, turn­ing
to the guy standing next
to him, said, "What they've
really got is the spirits."
A day later, in the plush
offices of the athletic de­partment,
Coach H u t s e ll
talked some more about the
honor.
"I really have no specail
t h o u g h t s on the subject,
other than being indebted tc
those people that had any­thing
to do with the naming
of the track after me. I really
appreciate it very much.
"I really think that this
track will be remembered in
years to come for being a
truly good track, rather than
for who it's named after."
"Iremember the first track
we had here when I came to
Auburn in 1921," Hutsell re­calls.
"Actually, it was not
even a track. We had tracks
in the mud where there should
have been a track, maybe, but
there wasn't one with cin­ders.
"When we finally had a
track installed, there was
never a meet rained out for
the next 19 y e a r s . That
doesn't mean that we had a
drought, it just rained ion
convenient days."
At that time a telephone
rang, interrupting the con­versation.
It was for the
coach, and a huge grin came
across his face when he
learned that it was Fred Car--
ley, former SEC champion in
the mile run for Auburn, and
now a resident of Fort Wal­ton
Beach, Fla.
"Well, hello, moley-o, how
are you? Well, it't real hot
up here. No, if it rains Satur­day,
it won't affect the track,
but it might make a difference
to the 4,000 or so fans we
expect. But we're planning on
having all-weather fans as
well as an all-weather
track."
After completing the phone
talk, the coach continued
saying, "Yes, a number of
my old friends will be here
Saturday. I'm, really looking
forward to this day."
And who can ever doubt
that Wilbur Hutsell deserved
his day and his track?

Emory professor speaks
at fourth Drua Conference
When Sherlock Holmes ex­claims
"Quick, Watson, the
needle!" did you know that
he is s h o o t i n g cocaine?
That's the size of it, claims
Dr. Harry M. Williams, asso­ciate
dean of the Emory Uni­versity
medical school, who
spoke at Auburn's fourth an­nual
Drug Education Con­ference.
He also said that drug
abuse is not a new problem,
because most of the drugs
used today were used in pre­historic
times.
Dr. Williams is a professor
of pharmacology at Emory,
and was one of the first
doctors to experiment with
LSD. He has given more than
1,000 doses to human sub­jects,
but admittedly has
never tried it himself.
He stated that drug abuse
was evident throughout his­tory,
so the problem probably
existed before people started
writing their c h r o n i c l e s.
Williams then outlined five
classifications of drugs as
follows.
(1) Central nervous system
depressants. Alcohol tops
the list of "downers" be­cause
there are between eight
and nine m i l l i o n hard al­c
o h o l i c s in the United
States.
Other "downers" include
sleeping pills, tranquilizers,
glue, and barbiturates like
g o o f b a l l s , nembutol, and
yellow jackets. All produce
a state of intoxication.
In. small doses they in­duce
drowsiness; larger
doses produce drunkeness-slurred
speech and staggered
gait, and large doses cause
death.
(2) Central nervous system
stimulants. "Uppers" in­clude
caffeine, cocaine, and
amphetamines: study aids,
diet pills, pep pills, dexo-drine,
benzodrine.and metho-drine-
speed.
There relieve fatigue and
anxiety, and give a false
sense of security.
"Here's the danger:" he
said, "sequentially the abu­ser
becomes irritable, has
hallucinations, and may be­come
m e n t a l l y ill. Also,
there is presently a 'necretiz-ing
arterialitis syndrome' on
the west coast which affects
a high percentage of amphe­tamine
users. Their arteries
'fall apart.' "
(3) Hallucinogens. Heading
this l i s t is LSD, which
Williams predicted in 1960,
"it won't become an abused
drug." Other hallucinogens
are mescaline, STP, and
DOM.
With LSD comes a distor­tion
of perception: chairs
become bears and right angles
become acute or obtuse, but
there are no hallucinations.
"In an hallucination, thei
subject sees something that
isn't there. He may reach for
a fly that doesn't exist, and
he sees e x t r a o r d i n a ry
colors," he explained.
The user may feel that he
is no longer in his body, or
that his body is dead. At
any rate, creativity is not in­creased
as has been claimed.
Some dangers. stemming
from the use of hallucinogens
may follow. There could be
physical injury if the user
tries to fly or walk on water.
There is the possibility of
flashback, and the definite
risk, though small, of mental
illness.
Two other d a n g e r s are
highly suspected, but that
haven't been satisfactorily
proven, are broken chromo­somes
and fetal abnormali­ties,
he added.
(4) O p i a t e s . Paregoric,
opium, morphine, heroine, co­deine,
demerol, and metha­done
are opiates. They stop
anger, hunger, fear, pain,
anxiety and sex drives. In
short, they turn a person off
to the world, because nothing
in life is important except
getting the next fix.
"Although people do die
of overdoses, the big problem
is not so much what opiates
do to the body, but what they
do to the mind. They have a
tremendous hold on the ad­dict,"
Williams said.
Dr. Glenn K i p l i n g e r , a
clinical pharmacologist from
Indiana University Medical
Center, took over the dis­cussion
with a presentation
of his research on marijuana.
The drug falls into its
own special category, not
being a hard narcotic, he
said. The plant originated
probably on the steppes of
Russia and has no one spe­cies,
as its growth pattern
is not yet stabilized.
Its growth was formerly en-c
our a g e d in the United
States for its valuable hemp.
But marijuana was outlawed
as a result of a prohibition
campaign which partially
blamed the drug for an in-.
crease in crime during the
Great Depression.
A change in the Campus
Advertising Law, approved
Tuesday night by the Student
Senate, will allow students
to display banners on dormi­tories
"to promote Auburn
Spirit" if approved by Pres.
Harry M. Philpott.
The a d v e r t i s i n g law,
passed by last year's senate,
reads "No posters, signs,
or notices shall be permitted
on trees, light poles, build­ings
or other structures on
campus." Jimmy Blake,
chairman of the senate com­mittee
on Student Welfare,
said that the change would
"put the law back where it
was originally." Last year's
senate reportedly revised the
original advertising proposal
to restrict all advertising
displays on buildings be­cause
President Philpott
would not allow certain
forms of advertising on cam­pus
buildings.
"We can't do anything
about most of the provisions
in the advertising law," said
one senator, "but we can
probably win President Phil-pott's
approval on the matter
of spirit banners."
Anthony Copeland, vice-president
of the SGA and
president of the senate, said
that P r e s i d e n t Philpott
would deliver a report Mon­day
night at the next senate
meeting on the submitted al­location
plan of Student
Activity Fees. The senate
approved the recommended
allocation plan of the Bud­get
and Finance Committee
last week. President Phil-pott's
approval is required
before the allocation money
is distributed.
Copeland mentioned that
Philpott was "looking into
the legality" of the legal
aid provision of the alloca­tion
recommendation. $3000
was recommended by the
senate to go into a legal aid
fund to aid students with
legal problems.
In other action, the senate
selected five students to
serve on the 1971-72 Board
of. Student Cpminunicatie^,
a body which governs The
Plainsman, WEGL, the Ti­ger
Cub, and the Glomerata.
Ken Farmer, 3PM; Bruce
Henderson, 3AH; Geoff Ket-cham,
3GHY; Jane Sinback,
3HMEand Bill Stegall, 3ME,
were selected from a list of
10 students submitted by
the faculty members of the
Communications Board and
Jimmy Tucker, president of
the SGA. Tommy Lowder, 3
BA, was selected as an al­ternate.
The senate also approved
presidential recommenda­tions
for members' of four
SGA University committees.
Emory Underwood, 3MH, and
Susan Owens, 3GMH, will
serve on the Insurance Com-
AU student aid fund
authorized by akmrni
A University Student Aid
Fund, financed by alumni
contributions, has been
authorized by the Alumni
Executive Committee.
The fund, in the amount
of $100,000, will be estab­lished
effective for the fall
quarter, 1971'
James E. Brown, Birming­ham,
Auburn Alumni pres­ident,
said, "This will
establish a meaningful loan,
program from alumni con­tributions
and gives an im­portant
new dimension to
our Annual Giving Fund
program."
The AGF, established six
years ago, has provided a
number of alumni professor­ships.
Twenty-two are now
in effect.
"A new need which has
suddenly become quite acute
is for student financial aid
in the form of additional
loans,'' said Brown.
In expressing his ap­preciation
to the alumni for
their "wonderful loyalty and
support," Pres. Harry M.
Philpott said, "We would
hope to supplement as much
of this amount as possible
with federal loan funds which
require some matching funds
provided by the University."
While the Student Aid Fund
will not go into effect until
the fall quarter., a portion
of the principal will be
used to allow the University
to restore money for loans
made in the summer, Pres­ident
Philpott stated.
Charles B. Roberts,
director, Student Financial
Aid, said, "This assistance
comes at a time of critical
need when the number of
students requesting financial
assistance is increasing
and funds from federal
sources are decreasing."
"Our applications for fi­nancial
aid this spring are
three times greater than
they were one year ago,""
Roberts stated.

The senate approved an

event fa various
charities. The total amount
collected , $2,194.94, was
distributed as follows:

Jody McClinton, chairman
of the Code of Laws Com­mittee,
presented a revision
of the Executive Cabinet Law
to the senate. The law,
which outlines the adminis­trative
structure of SGA, was
revised to provide for a
slight reorganization of the
executive cabinet. The
"new" post of administra­tive
vice president now held
by Bill Stegall, 3ME , was
included in the approved
revision.

Four male Auburn youths
have been charged with the
assault and rape of a 27-
year-old University em­ployee.
The unidentified woman
was assaulted in a wooded
area on the 100 block of
East Drake around 10 p.m.
on May 19.
James Foster, 17, and
Jimmy Lee Logan, 16, are"
awaiting transfer to the
Lee County Jail and two
other youths, aged 14 and
15, were turned over to
county juvenile authorities.
The arrests were the result
of an investigation begun
by Auburn detectives Frank
de Graffenried and Ted
Murphy shortly after the
incident occurred.
The young woman told
police she had walked to
downtown Auburn, window-shopping
along the way,
and was returning home about
10 p.m. She said the four
youths who sexually as­saulted
her followed her up
North Gay St., grabbed her
from behind when she turned
onto West Drake, and drag­ged
her into a nearby wooded
area.

'Jesus Christ Superstar'
first fall Union concert
By Alice Murray
Plainsman Staff Writer
"Jesus Christ Superstar,"
popular rock opera, will
open the 1971-72 Union
Concert Series next October.
Clarence Cook, director of
the concert series, said that
the exact time and date
would be announced at a
later date.
Also coming to Auburn as
a part of the concert series
will be the Belgian National
Symphony, the National
Players productions of "The
Trial" and "The Taming of
the Shrew" and the Jose Mo­lina
Flamenco Dance Com­pany,
Cook said.
"Jesus Christ Superstar,"
was first released in London
in 1969, by Andrew Lloyd
Webber and Tim Rice.
Mrs. David Herbert
proprietor of Herbert Music
and Electric in Auburn, said,
"The recording of Jesus
Christ Superstar has been
selling extremely well. It
has been popular and seems
to be a recording that will
continue to be popular. Most
of my customers are col­lege
students, but I have
had several adults buy it,
especially following its
television production last
fall."
The rock opera is the
story of the days preceding
the crucifixion of Christ.

A year for music, marijuana, levity, liberation • • •
HAP GWALTNEY
^ F CAMPUS SENATOR l i n d a Q^
S7 '/FTTim
It was a year for mourning, misery, music and marijuana.
A year for belt-tightening and birthday cake, relevance
and racism. For liberation (women's), laissez faire, levity
and love. . .
Like the willow trees the year before, students and
townspeople mourned briefly for the trees chopped down
on College Street in front of Ware's Jewelry Store.
Male students mourned the deletion of the "Loveliest
of the Plains" from The Plainsman.
The death of Jon Eric Johnson, a 19-year-old Auburn
youth who jumped in front of a truck on 1-85 soon after
police served a warrant at his home charging drug viola­tions,
focused attention on the need for "miserable"
people to get immediate help when needed. And so, the
Crisis Center was begun. Trained counselors man the
Crisis Center phone (821-8600) every weekend.
Attention has also focused on a specific misery: un­wanted
pregnancy.
Started by Episcopal minister James P. Woodson, the
Problem Pregnancy Counseling Service has been expanded
into the Clergy Consultation Service. By dialing 887-7182,
a girl can obtain the telephone numbers of member clergy­men
in Auburn and eight other Alabama cities.
Musical groups like the Fifth Dimension, Three Dog
Night, Iron Butterfly, Rare Earth and Chicago performed
in Auburn. And under Baloney Brothers sponsorship, free
rock concerts were initiated at Graves Amphitheatre.
Newest and most constant source of music for students
is campus radio station WEGL. ("WEGL says a lot . . .
for Auburn.") The commercial-free station has won stu­dent
approval, though arousing the ire of some by its
use of the Jimi Hendrix version of the "Star Spangled
Banner" for a signoff.
The first issue of The Plainsman in September carried
a front page story about the arrest of two students charged
with possession of marijuana. Numerous such arrests were
recorded as the year progressed.
President Philpott issued his belt-tightening ultimatum.
Andwhile students might not have understood all the why's
and wherefore's of the University's financial straits, after
sweltering through a class or two in almost windowless
Haley Center, they were expert on the practical applica­tions
of belt-tightening.
New SGA president Jimmy Tucker presented Pres. Phil­pott
with a birthday cake during a "rap" session with stu­dents
in Samford Park. A minor milestone for Philpott:
this is his sixth year as president of Auburn University.
Fall quarter the University's first Relevance, Awareness
and Peace (RAP) Day was sponsored by the Human Rights
Forum. Another HRF-sponsored moratorium against the
Vietnam war ended in a confrontation between the SGA
and HRF supporters. (The HRF protested a rule which
prohibits use of a speaker system except during the 10
minute break between classes and from noon to 1 p.m.)
The laissez faire of students this year was shown in
poor attendance at both events. This same attitude car­ried
over into more traditional campus events: The blood
drive netted only 2,100 pints of blood compared to 3,244
pints last year and the All-Campus Fund Drive brought in
only 83,000 compared to a $5,958 total the previous year.
Even pep rallies suffered drastically from lack of stu­dent
participation. And War Eagle IV never got his new
cage.
Exception to the general laissez faire was student re­sponse
to Horizons Symposium. Record crowds attended
Horizons-sponsored appearances by Ralph Nader, Arthur
Clarke, Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman, Leon Botstein
and Dick Gregory.
Earth Day was generally ignored here .another symptom
of laissez faire. The Zero Population Growth did set up
a display booth and showed a film on the effects of
overpopulation.
The first Black Art Festival was also largely ignored.
No victim of laissez faire the Auburn chapter of the
Alabama Conservancy continues to plug away in an effort
to promote conservation and prevent pollution.
Bicycles have multiplied on campus as students
concerned about pollution from automobile exhausts, or
just for the fun of it .trade four power-propelled wheels for
two self-propelled ones.
Racism showed itself most blatantly in the refusal of
the local Elks lodge to allow the Alpha Phi Omega .ser­vice
fraternity to use its ballroom for a sweetheart ball
because two black students belong to the fraternity.
Anthony Copeland, director of the Horizons Symposium
became the first black to win a major campus office with
his election to the SGA vice presidency.
Anita Page took office as president of Associated
Women Students, promising new relevancy for AWS.
Winter quarter junior women with parental permission
were given the no-curfew privilege. Beginning fall quarter,
juniors with permission will be allowed to live off-campus
and sophomores with permission will get the no-curfew
privilege.
Following the appearance of women's liberation ad­vocates
Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman, coeds staged
a sleep-out on Social Center lawn. This year sophomores
without the no-curfew privilege who did have overnight
permission in Auburn were allowed to sign out for Social
Center lawn.
Last year disciplinary action was taken against coeds
who violated their curfew to spend the night on President
Philpott's lawn.
Three of the coeds filed suit against the University
although the suit was later dropped because the coeds'
attorney said the University had shown "good faith" in
liberalizing women's rules since the motion was filed.
Next fall junior and senior women living on-campus
will not have to purchase meal tickets.
With less laissez faire and more levity ,Dick Chambliss ,
better known as Tube, campaigned for Homecoming queen.
Becky Lilly, 2SED, got the crown .but Tube got the votes:
2,329 to 1,052 for Miss Lilly.
Construction is underway on a new fisheries building.
and funds have been allocated for construction of a
theatre building, part of a proposed fine arts complex.
Cliff Hare Stadium was expanded to a 61,000-seat capacity
and Samford Hall is undergoing extensive renovation.
Funds are yet to be found for construction of a badly
needed Music Building. And antiquated Drake Infirmary
still makes provision of adquate student health services
difficult for new student health director Dr. William B.
Turk.
After much debate, the Alabama legislature decided
not to move the School of Pharmacy to the Montgomery
campus.
Two of the bigger-and uglier-front page stories this
year were the fire-bombing of the Naval ROTC office
and the holding of two coeds as hostages by two inmates
at Draper Prison near Wetumpka. The fire-bombing culprit
was never apprehended. The two coeds were released,
unharmed after two hours.
New additions to the orange and blue kaleidoscope
that is Auburn are Praxis , an independent student news­paper
and a chapter of the American Civil Liberties
Union.
There were the usual gripes about procedures for
selling football tickets. The Student Senate has approved
a revised ticket sale format.
Auburn beat Bama. Enrollment in the voluntary ROTC
program dropped more than 50 per cent. It rained a lot.
Wallace got elected. Seniors paid Sio to graduate. Nobody
burned a Glomerata.
And love is still " a plant that tended well succeeds,"
although the original paint-scrawled version is crumbling.

Water bed like huge jef/o cube
By Linda Cornett
Plainsman Staff Writer
You approach it cautious­ly,
pat experimentally; it
quivers like a huge cube of
jello. Pushing aside mis­givings
(what if it pops. . .)
you glance around to see if
anyone is watching and ease
onto a corner.
It doesn't pop—as a mat­ter
of fact it feels pretty
solid. Now you stretch out;
your elbow sinks in and there
are slight waves. The waves
increase as you shift. More
confident now, you sit up
then fall back and lie still
while the undulations die
down.
You lie there, getting
colder, and finally someone
steps up and asks, "Can we
sell you a water bed?"
There's a lot of informa­tion
to be looked into before
you answer the question.
Basically a water bed is
a big water-filled baggie.
Specifically, it could be
anywhere from crib to king
to family size; it may be
rectangular, square or round.
Prices range from an average
of $40 for the mattress
alone, to $3,000 for a deluxe
model with television, stereo
and heating unit built in.
The beds do have several
advantages to offer.
They were originally used
in hospitals to provide
relief for burn victims and
patients with back problems ,
and are recommended by
manufacturers for back-ache,
sore muscles and rheumatism,
according to a water bed
salesman.
The manufacturers, small
companies such as Water
Beds South, Aquarius Water
Bed Company, and Wet Dream
Inc., have banded to form
an informal quality control
board to insure "that water
beds do not develop a bad
name."
As a result, most water
beds on the market are of a
good grade (20 guage)
plastic, with heat sealed,
rather than glued seams.
Guarantees on the seams
average one to five years.
They really will not pop,
but should a puncture
develop a patch kit similar
to a bike repair kit, is
included for easy repairs.
There are difficulties to
be dealt with, however,
CAMPUS
DRUGS
We want to congratulate all graduates
of the quarter and wish everyone
a very pleasant summer vacation.
which are not as simple to
solve as a puncture.
As another salesman
points out, filled water bed
can weigh up to one and a
half tons, which can pre­sent
trouble with an up­stairs
bedroom. The upper
floors in many homes are
not designed to withstand
this much pressure, and the
result may be structural
damage or even 3,000 pounds
of water and vinyl plummeting
through the ceiling.
It also makes movement
rather awkward; if you want
to rearrange your furniture,
the bed must be drained.
However, this will be the
only occasion to drain the
bed, if you add a cup of
clorox when it is first filled
to prevent the growth of
algae, as directed in a
manufacturer's instruction
sheet.
Manufacturers further
recommend that a liner and
frame accompany the mat­tress.
The frame can be
just four boards of the
appropriate length and about
one foot across nailed
together, with care being
taken to keep the nails from
protruding—into the mattress.
The frame serves to keep
the shape of the mattress,
and prevent the vinyl from
stretching.
The liner (most of them
cost about $10) is placed
under the mattress in the
frame to catch water from a
leak, puncture, or if the valve
is accidentally opened.
Also recommended is a pad
of some sort to cover the
bed. Since it is filled with
cool water to prevent stretch­ing,
the bed can be uncom­fortably
cold. The pad also
protects the mattress from
the assaults of dogs, cats ,
children and sharp objects.
As far as owners are
concerned, "It's the best
bed I've ever had. I can get
the equivalent of eight hours
sleep in six hours."
" I t ' s a great baby-sitter.
Kids will have a ball on it
for hours, and there's no
danger of them getting hurt,
either."
"I haven't tried this yet,
but I can imagine it would
be good for sunbathing on.
Whenever you get hot on one
side, just turn over and cool
off for a while."
"I put mine in the living
room. It's something you want
to share with your friends.
We've had a lot of fun with
i t ."

THE AUBURN PUINSMXN -B Friday, May 28, 1971
Wallace discusses education, profanity
Editor's Note: The Auburn Plainsman
recently interviewed Gov. George C. Wal­lace,
chairman of the Board of Trustees,
about matters of campus interest. The inter­view
is presented in quest ion-and-answer
format to preserve the conversational tone
in which it was conducted.
Plainsman: As you know, Auburn is in a
very tight financial strait right now. How do
you view our chances for receiving our full
budget request for this year?
Wallace: The budget requests, of all the
schools are way beyond that which the state
has coming in in existing revenues, and al­though
you are looking at a governor who
feels that the solution to many of our prob­lems,
or most of them, is through education,
we find that there is not enough money to
meet all of the requests of the colleges.
We voted in November on a statewide tax
for schools that would have gone to colleges
and other schools, too, and it was defeated
by a margin of six to one, and every county
in Alabama that has voted on a tax for
schools has voted it down.
The people in Alabama are simply turned
off as far as more money for education
because of HEW and federal court rulings
that bus little children across counties and
cities, and that arbitrarily close schools.
You young people who live in the clinical
atmosphere of the college campus who talk
about all these things being so good-well,
if they're so good, then why have they pro­duced
polarization, why have they produced
strife, why have they produced disorder? As
a consequence, the average man who is the
voter and citizen just says, "I'm tired of
paying any more of my money to a school
system in which my child has to go all the
way across town and go to school in a
gymnasium.''
You are just facing a situation in which
there is a tax revolt. A general tax on the
people will not be tolerated. They'll take a
special interest tax, a corporate franchise
tax, but that raises just so much. They'll
take an increased tax on trucks, or highway
building, which is a necessity and which we
must do.
Plainsman: Do you place highway building
in a higher priority than higher education?
Wallace: No, not in a higher priority. But,
now, you see, you ask a question that when
you give an answer to it, gets you involved.
Highway building should be of top priority,
and I'll tell you why. In the first place, the
money that goes to run your school, and my
school, of Auburn, comes from commerce and
business. And it you don't build adequate
highway systems, you don't get commerce and
business. And every time you build a four-lane
highway someplace, it fills up with
businesses. And every time you build a four-lane
highway someplace a plant will locate
there that transports by truck because the
transportation costs are less.
So highways and schools run related be­cause
if you didn't build any highways, and
say we'd spent the revenue that came in on
gas tax on just schools and didn't build any
highways, in fact, probably y'all wouldn't
even be here in the first place, you'd be
dead.
Because with the high speeds in auto­mobiles
and 1920 roads, all you young
folks'd probably be dead, you'd already have
been killed, if you didn't have the Interstate
from here to Auburn. With you coming back­wards
and forwards, the chances of your
living fall off.
And when you've got so many people in
college, now, and all of them have auto­mobiles,
if you don't four-lane all these high­ways
between the major centers that they
Governor George Wallace
have to drive them on, you endanger their
lives every week-end. It's a life proposition.
So there's no placing any higher priority,
but it just so happens that the government
has a program of federal funds that we have
to match to get them to build highways,
whereas in most instances you've got grant
programs in education. So, no, not any higher
priority. But the only way you can get money
for colleges is to have industry and to have
income.
Plainsman: You just said that one reason
we didn't have as much money for higher
education was because of a tax revolt. That's
a different source from commerce and busi­ness.
Wallace: I say that one reason we won't
have any big additional amounts of money
is because of the tax revolt in the air. But
honestly, if you want to know the truth,
people are for education in this state. You
can't say they aren't for education because
the state provides a bigger percentage of its
dollar for education than any other state in
the union . . . we're number one. The local
effort has been very small.
The point is . . . the tax revolt. If you put
a tax to vote on highways, you would come
nearer getting it passed-and I don't know
whether you'd get that passed or not-than
you would one for schools. What HEW and
the federal courts have done to the public
school system in this state is the reason.
The average citizen, who works hard
every day, and inflation's got him and there's
unemployment; he's not for paying any more
taxes for schools. Because he looks in the
paper every day, and he sees where one
group of students are chanting on the campus,
and he sees up at the University of Alabama,
a group there shouting obscenities over the
microphone when people march by; he picks
up the Crimson-White and he sees a four
letter word on the front of it, and those few
people themselves have gotten the average
man in the state in the attitude of there are
more on the campus like that than there are,
which of course I know represents a small
viewpoint.
All I can say is that Auburn will keep
going on and on and on, and if it doesn't
get all the money it asks for, it will go on
and on, and it will be there next year, and
the year after next, and it will grant degrees.
Auburn nor any other school will get all
the money it's asked for because it's not
here, and the legislature and the people are
not going to vote any more taxes for schools.
And it's not that they're anti-education, it's
that they're just overloaded and overbur­dened
with taxes.
Plainsman: How concerned are you about
Alabama's being 49th in per capita expendi­tures
for higher education?
Wallace: Sometimes you folks put too much
emphasis on how much per capita we spend
on the students. Let me tell you something
you've never considered. A professor who
owns a $20,000 house in California would
have to pay $1,000 ad valorem tax. In Ala­bama
he will pay about $55. The professor
at Auburn, living in the same size home as
a professor at Berkeley, can make $1,000
less in salary, and still be even with him.
Plainsman: May I ask you something on
another topic? You mentioned the four-letter
word that had been used in the Crimson-
White; is that why you made the statement
about having your pornography board • . .
Wallace (interrupting): No, that was just
something that I was just talking to them
about the other day, and I didn't ask them to
look into that. Do you allow that in your
paper?
Plainsman: No sir, not in the regular is­sues.
Wallace: Well, I'm not any prude, but that
doesn't help any paper. It shows that you
can't describe, you must be nondescriptive,
you can't express yourself. You'd be sur­prised
at the mail I get from students' paren.cs
at the University when the four-letter words
come out, and just say "I'm taking mine out,
we're at the bottom of the barrel."
I'm not any old person; I'm a young per­son.
I've got young ideas. I got the biggest
support for the presidency among young peo­ple.
All young folks aren't on the college
campuses, many of them are working in in­dustry,
and getting married out of high
school.
The general public is just tired of folks
standing on the Capitol steps naked, like
you saw on television the other night. They're
just tired of that.
"So if you want more money
for Auburn, quit printing
four-letter words'
Plainsman: But that's a far cry from using
a four-letter word in a student newspaper in
Alabama. What I'd like to get at is whether
you consider it to be wrong for a student
newspaper to print a word which is very
much accepted as part of the students' rhe­toric
now.
Wallace: What word are you talking about?
Plainsman: Well, say, the word "bull­shit."
Wallace: I think that there's no excuse
to print such a word as that. I don't care if
it's accepted. I think it's inexcusable. I
think it's irresponsible, and I think that when
you do it, when you're over here asking to
help education, you are not helping educa­tion,
because it so happens that the average
man in Alabama who is the mass of voters
does not have the attitude of the person
like you who is in the clinical atmosphere
of the college.
Honey, you may be for bussing of school
students across town, but when you move to
Birmingham and have your first child, and
it gets up to be six years old and they put
it on a bus on one side of town, and gonna
bus it 20 miles across to the other part of
town to a school, that's when you're gonna be
against bussing.
Plainsman: But I'm talking about a student
newspaper that is financed by students' fees
which many of them work to pay themselves.
Wallace: Those student fees wouldn't be
collected if it were not for the taxpayers
having built an institution where the stu­dents
could go. And those student fees are
collected at an institution that they wouldn't
be collected at if it were not for taxpayers.
