Blood drive
sets record
for summer
By TERESA SMITH
Auburn's blood drive Tuesday netted more blood than
any other drive in Alabama this summer, said Park Mc-
Gehee, chairman of the Blood Drive Committee.
During the one-day blood drive, 425 pints of blood
were donated, falling short quarter. The purpose behind

of the 650-pint goal. However,
the results were highly
favorable considering
that only 43 per cent of the
usual school population is
enrolled in summer school.
The event brought a great
deal of support from the student
body. At least 500 students,
including donors and
volunteer workers, participated
in the blood drive, beside
those who attempted to give
blood, but were rejected.
The high demand for blood
during the summer and the
low blood supply were the
reasons for the summer blood
drive.
According to McGehee, from
now on, Auburn will have
three one-day blood drives
instead of the single three-day
drive usually held spring
Bob Hope
to appear
October 17
Bob Hope, "the modem
King of Comedy," is scheduled
to appear in Memorial
Coliseum at Auburn University
for a performance
on Oct. 17, the same day
the Auburn University football
team will play Georgia
Tech at Auburn for the first
time.
The performance is be-is
being sponsored by the
Social Life committee at the
University.
Ed Joiner Productions, Atlanta,
is bringing the world-famous
comedian to the area.
Tickets for the show will
be limited and will go on
sale Sept. 1 at the SGA office
at the Union Building.
On Friday, Sept. 23, "Three
Dog Night" is scheduled to
give a concert at the Coliseum,
also sponsored by the
Social Life Committee and
Ed Joiner Productions.
this is to keep a continuous
supply of blood coming in to
the Alabama region of the
Red Cross instead of having
it all come in at once.
During the spring drive,
3,244 pints of blood were received
from Auburn students
in addition to that obtained
from other sources. Since the
blood is only good for twenty-six
days, the surplus had to
be broken down into its component
parts and much of its
usefulness was lost.
Auburn is also participating
in a card system that has
been set up for people who
have rare blood types. If the
Red Cross needs a rare type
of blood, they can call Auburn
University which has a
card file on its students. If a
student with the rare type is
found here, he is called to
give a pint of blood.
In the event that the rare
blood type is not available
in Auburn, the Red Cross
will then call Birmingham.
If these two sources fail,
the Inter-Regional System in
Dallas, Tex., is called. When
a person with the specific
blood type is found, a policeman
is sent to pick him up
and take him to a hospital

Putting their heads together recently to
work on Auburn University's Horizons Program
were Bob Douglas, SGA president (left);
David B. Hill, former SGA president; and Sen.
John Sparkman. Douglas and Hill asked
Sparkman to help them line up speakers for
the 1970-71 Horizons Program. Sparkman arranged
appointments with Vice President
Spiro T. Agnew's office for Douglas and Hill.
Graduates to find
job hunting difficult
By BILL TWINER
Auburn graduates, especially
those with business
degrees, will have
a hard time finding jobs
due to a government cutback
in defense spending
and a general economic
recession.
A report issued by the
University Placement Service
shows that there has
heen a 25 to 40 per cent decrease
in the job demands
of the Auburn graduates.
Commenting on the decrease
in job demands, Scott Farley,
head of University Placement,
said, "We are hopeful that
the bottom of the economic
scale has been reached and
the coming year will show an
improvement.''
As of March, 1970, job offers
nationally were down 16
per cent for those with a
bachelors degree, 26 per cent
for masters and 14 per cent
for Ph.D.s, according to the
June 8 issue of The National
Observer.
Specific areas hardest hit
due to a cutback in research
at the corporation level were
aerospace, electronics, electrical
machinery and automotive
industries.
Following the national
trend, job offers for graduates
with a doctorate degree have
decreased 45 per cent, bach-
Survey rates heal restaurants
A small, out-of-the-way
place, Barnes' Restaurant,
was indicated the best eating
establishment in the
Auburn-Opelika area, according
to a survey taken
on campus by a student
discussion group to determine
the local restaurants
and snack shops favored
most by students here.
The group, part of a
class in group discussion
headed by Dr. James S. Taylor,
assistant professor of
speech, distributed about 800
survey forms that listed 41
local establishments and one-write-
in space. About 500
forms were returned. The form
had five categories for rat-'
ing each restaurant according
to quality, variety, expense,
service and overall' atmosphere
on a scale of one
(poorest) to five (best) for
each category.
The points for each restaurant
in each category were
added to give a total ranging
from five to twenty-five. The
total points on every form for
each establishment were then
added and divided by the total
number of responses to
render an average of from
five to twenty-five. The top
three and the bottom two restaurants
were then determined
and broken down by
categories.
Barnes', which received34
responses, was rated at a
20.2 average and was given
a 4.1 in quality, 4.2 in variety,
3.6 in expense, 4.2 in
service and 4.2 overall.
The Tavern, located at
Midway Plaza, was the second
most favored establishment
with an average total of
17.9 points from 84 responses.
In quality, it was rated
4.0; variety, 3.1; expense,
2.8; service, 3.4; and overall
3.6.

Auburn expects to register
15,000 on the main campus
Sept. 16-18 for fall
quarter which will begin
Monday, Sept. 21. Another
700 are expected to enroll
at Auburn University at'
Montgomery.
Several activities are
scheduled for new freshmen
and transfer students. These
include a general convocation
on Sept. 16 for transfers and
freshmen who did not attend
pre-college counseling, a
religious convocation and
picnic supper at the home of
Pres. Harry M. Philpott on
Sept. 17, and the president's
convocation on Sept. 18.
The convocations are scheduled
for Graves Amphitheatre
and will be moved to the Student
Activities Building in
the event of rain.
Rush week for sororities
is scheduled for Sept. 11-18,
the move of the Small Animal
Clinic to its new location by
the opening of the fall tern
However, the main scienc
building to house the academi i
departments is not expected
to be ready before winter quarter.
The School of Business is
now permanently located in
the newly-renovated Thach'
and Tichenor Halls.
Forestry students will attend
classes and laboratories
in the newly-completed addition
to the forestry building
while the other part of the
building is undergoing renovations.
Several new department
heads are among newcomers
to Auburn since spring quarter.
They are: Dr. A Cleveland
Harrison, Theatre; Dr.
Benjamin E. Griessman, Sociology;
Dr. Carl Hale, Economics
and Geography; and
Dr. Ruth L. Galbraith, Consumer
Affairs. Also new at
the administrative level is
Dr. Ben Barnes, director,
Computer Center.
Among new faculty beginning
this fall is Dr. Jay Young,
Auburn's first J.D. Hudson
Professor. The position was

Students who are returning
from summer holidays will
find a number of changes at
Auburn. The one most likely
to delight students and alumni
alike is the 16,500-seat expansion
of Cliff Hare Stadium
which will be ready for the
opener Sept. 19 with Southern
Mississippi.
The Stadium, with the oval
completed, can now accommodate
61,000. Parking has
also been expanded in the
area of Haley Center which
adjoins the stadium.
The new Wilbur Hutsell
Track will also be completed
for the fall quarter.
The new buildings which
will complete the School of
Veterinary Medicine on Wire
Road are nearing completion.
Officials expect to complete
Auburn studying
mercury problem
cerned with standardization
and analytical techniques
for the determination
of mercury in water, fish and
river bottom muds.
Current information and
standards on mercury are
widely scattered and in many
cases unreliable. Many times,
information is being used
that comes from foreign countries
and has not been tested
in the United States. When
this research at Auburn • is
completed, a set of reliable
standards for the detection
of mercury in Alabama waters
will be known, Lawrence
said.
The problem of mercury
pollution in the streams and
rivers of Alabama has become
acute. In many areas,
warnings are out not to eat
the fish caught in rivers
because of mercury contamination.
Many of the commercial
fishermen and owners
of fish camps are suffering
financially as a result of the
mercury pollution.
Curently in the United
States, there is no safe tolerance
level set on the a-mount
of mercury that may
be in the water. There is
little known as to what the
safe mercury level of water
should be. But the safe to-

have been suggested for

absorbed by the fish. Among
these sources are industrial

Another Service of Your SGA
Q: Can a student, upon losing a 2-S deferment due to lack
of hours for an academic year; receive a medical deferment
for a stomach ulcer. Also will he be required to report to his
pre-induction physical with medical verification of this?
A: He must notify his draft board of his condition along
with a statement by a certified M.D. His board may decide
to grant him a deferment at that time or they may require the
student to go through with his pre-induction physical.
If called for a physical exam he must go if not notified
prior to his examination date of his deferment due to medical
condition. It would also be a good idea to take the doctor's
statement with you when you go for your physical.
* * * * * *
Q: What is the status of a graduating senior if his lottery
number has already been passed?
A: Upon graduation the former student receives a 1-A classification
and is immediately available for induction if no
new deferment is acquired. Upon notification of his new
classification he has 30 days to file an appeal and request
another deferment.
Q: Can a student acquire a WP (withdrew passing) this late
in the quarter?
A: WP's are usually not issued after mid-quarter except
under "unusual circumstances". The student would have to
get special permission from his dean to drop the course and
verification from the instructor that he is passing the course.
Q: Is there any draft counseling available to students this
summer?
A: No, the draft counseling program has been discontinued
during the summer months and will not be resumed until mid
September. However, if you are in need of some immediate
help you might call the Wesley Foundation. They are not running
an organized counseling program this summer but someone
there may be able to help you.

Q: What are the houses around the circle behind Graves
Amphitheater used for and are they available for renting?
A: They have been leased from B&G by the Athletic Department
to accomodate the overflow of the athletic dorm.
I am almost positive that they will be full this fall but if
you are still interested in renting one you should get in touch
with the Athletic Department.

Editorial Page
Public fails to recognize
of Rights,
Declaration of Independence
There is currently a trend making its way across college
campuses that is somewhat startling in its results.
Students, in small groups, are circulating petitions
that are actually mimeographed copies of the United
States Constitution, particularly the Bill of Rights, and
the Declaration of Independence, but lack the titles and
the form of the original documents.
Setting up tables, these students try to attract signers,
not telling them the true nature of the petition, asking
them to read and sign the papers on their own worth.
However, it is unfortunate to note that the documents
are attracting few supporters to even take the time to
completely read the papers, let alone sign them. Many
say that they haven't the time, and others simply do
not trust the petitioners.
Of those who have read the documents, few recognized
them. Some, who did read the petitions accused the petitioners
of being revolutionists and communists; rather
sad to hear, he must say.
Unfortunately, even few of those who signed the documents
recognized them, an even sadder fact.
Considering the traditional apathy of the Aubum student,
we were tempted to try a similar experiment here.
But this is Auburn, home of patriotic men and women,
isn't it. It couldn't happen here.
Or could it?

Festival scene vanishes
By Bill Twiner
The era of the giant pop festival is probably gone forever.
Promoters of recent festivals all over the country have failed
miserably in their attempts to recapture the magic of last
summer's Woodstock, which meant so much to so many. In
fact, Woodstock has become an event that can never happen
again-it is now only a legend.
There are many opinions as to why the festival promoters
have failed to bring people Many of these "weekend-closer
together through the ers" end up in the O.D. tent,
where persons are treated
for drug overdoses and/or
bad trips. For these people
the pop festival is a medical
disaster.
A final blow to the pop
festival has come from local
citizens. Fearing pollution,
both moral and ecological,
they have filed injunctions,
banning many of
the recent festivals before
and even after they have been
set up.
But as the incident at Powder
Ridge last month proved,
a court order will not stop
the young from gathering
at a festival site. Some of
the people came anyway
since they had already paid
for their tickets.
Looking back, the locals
may have created a greater
social disaster by not letting
the festival go on as
originally scheduled.
It is really a shame that
such a beautiful thing as
a music festival can be a-dultrated
into the financial,
medical, and social mistake
that the pop festival has
become.
Perhaps we need to return
to a simpler approachlike
small, free concerts on
a Sunday afternoon in the
park.
After all why should a
feeling such as music have
a price tag?
common medium of music.
Some contend that the promoters
have been too preoccupied
with the dollar sign
and have made the festival
a financial disaster. Because
many Of the music lovers refuse
to pay the 14 to 20 dollar
admission prices, virtually
all of this year's festivals
have lost money.
It is this financial uncertainty
of recent festivals
that has caused potential
backers to lose confidence
in the whole idea of the massive
pop festival. Due to the
enormous expense in staging
a musical happening as big
as Woodstock and other festivals,
there must be an even
more enormous intake of
greenbacks.
A festival has become an
enormous risk for the businessman
and few are willing
to stick their necks out anymore.
Another factor contributing
to the dying festival scene
is that they usually attract
touristsand other "straights"
who want to see all those
"dirty hippies" do their
thing.
These sightseers, looking
for kicks, sometimes sample
the fruits of the drug tree,
usually with little or no
knowledge of. what they are
taking or what the effect
might be.
service age congregate these
days.
As I listened to the stream
of talk, which started with
one person's tale of eluding
the draft, I sat in silence
while the conservation drifted
to tricks and legitimate ways
to beat the draft. I had heard
them before, and they hardly
bothered me then; I paid
little attention this time,
pausing only to think that
we do have an inequitable
draft system, but that change
is forthcoming.
However, when the talk
started centering around the
abolishment of the draft .system
in its entirety, my attention
suddenly snapped
into focus on the group.
Someone had put forth the
idea that we should initiate
a professional armed services,
composed entirely of
volunteers, another in the
group had offered a counterproposal
of establishing-not
a professional standing army
but an army composed of
volunteers serving on a rotating
basis as in the national
guard or reserve units.
Seeing the fallacies of the
ideas. I tried to describe
them to the group; a volunteer
army would be too susceptible
to the whims of
overly militaristic leaders
and would lack a certain
amount of civilian control.
An armed service system composed
of part-time soldiers
would lack the proper degree
of professionalism necessary
to assure smooth, efficient
operation.
The group, on considering
my views, generally agre^J;
we do need a standing army
but a more equitable
method of selecting young
men for service, and possibly
alternative methods of
service, such as the Peace
Corps or VISTA, for "those
who objected to military service.
But there was one in the
group who dissented entirely
from any of the views offered.
He advocated a disbanding
of the military, and a concentrated
effort at world disarmament.
It was up to us,
he said, to take the first
step to peace.
The discussion, with his
proposal, began to escalate
into a heated argument, finally
culminating in silence
and a change of subject.
With tempers still slightly
warm, we proceded to slowly
feel our way into new topics.
Half-listening, half-daydreaming,
my attention was
caught once more by some
very active talk.
The same person whohad
protested so violently against
our ideas for a more effective,
yet reasonable, defense
force was vividly describing
how well he once had fought.

women regard freedom as a
privilege, that they wouldn't
know what to do with if they
had it, yet, he objects strenuously
when a girl freely refuses
a late date or decides
not to remain on campus on
weekends. Mr. Twiner apparently
wants the girl to
remain on campus all weekend,
in case he should decide
to favor one of them with
a date.
From an eminent position
as a first quarter sophomore,
Mr. Twiner makes the judgement
that most women come
to Auburn to "get a man".
Has it occured to him that
the main reason that women
observe the curfew regulation
is because they are interested
in study and wish
to make the most of their
college years? It is regrettable
that Mr. Twiner has
not encountered any of these
women but considering his
expressed opinion and lack
of respect for the Auburn
coed, it's not surprising.
It is an interesting fact,
observed by many that the
crusaders against women's
curfew regulations are the
Auburn males. Mr. Twiner
mentions morals several times
in his article and seems to
object to the fact that the
girls seem to value morals.
Many Auburn coeds would
be interested to know what
Mr. Twiner considers "morals
and attitudes of the
twentieth century way of
life" for future reference.
In conclusion we (the Auburn
coeds) would like to
share a little secret with Mr.
Twiner. The women's liberation
movement has come to
Auburn; girls are expressing
their freedom to date whom
they please, to study, to
curtail a date, and to go
home oh weekends when they
wish to do so. Mr. Twiner
just isn't alert enough to
have noticed, apparently.

Reader agrees
with columnist
Editor, The Plainsman:
It was my great privilege
and honor to read some of
the letters written to Mr. Bill
Twiner on his article about
the TAC (typical Auburn
coed) which was in the last
issue of the Plainsman.
My heart aches for these
poor, vehement and wounded
young women! It was incredi-

ble how many of us poor dears
took the article as a personal
affront and lashed out at
not the issue at hand and the
opinions of Mr. Twiner, but
at Mr. Twiner himself. Could
it be that they couldn't put
up a logical argumant against
his "accusations" or that
the emotions of these wounded
females took the helm?
After reading a particularly
inane letter which solely
attacked Mr. Twiner instead
of, ho-hum, as previously
said, debating the issue intelligently,
the U.B. info,
service was called, and much
to my complete amazement,
the young woman was a graduate
student. I can't believe
that the Auburn women are
so sensitive to criticism that
would, in a lot of cases, be
helpful. Did any one of the
wounded young ladies take
into consideration that the
article may have been so
heavy-handed so as to shock
a few females into looking'
at themselves? From what
has been done on this campus
so far about the status
of women, it would take something
a bit on the heavy side
to stir up any kind of action.
There is a great deal to
be said for giving a young
woman a free hand and letting
her run her own life.
Like the marvelous letter
from the Emory coed in the
Plainsman (don't jemember
what issue)that said, "Wouldn't
it be better to have a
balance of knowledge and
experience and not try to
separate "book learning
and everyday living?" In
other words, why not allow
outselves a sense of responsibility
and a free hand in
our lives instead of depending
on the University to tell
us what time to come home
from the boy-girl relationship
and all the rest of that stuff
rules cover?
Bill, I agree with you. 1
just hope some people won't
turn up their noses in scorn
and they will put an honest
effort into being real.

Auburn to host tourney
NCAA should boost southern wrestling
The kind of wrestling that people do not usually see on
television will attract record crowds in Memorial Coliseum
next year as the top collegiate wrestlers of the nation vie for
the coveted NCAA Wrestling titles March 25-27, 1971.
Auburn's wrestling coach, Arnold (Swede) Umbach, considers
the national tournament as being "a tremendous boost
to Southern wrestling and a great help in advertising the sport
which is gaining widespread popularity across the nation."
The location of the tournament was announced last Jan.
12 by NCAA president, Harry Cross, in Washington D.C, at
the 64th convention of the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

date before the 1969 season,
Nash played two quarters of
the Athens-Burney Harris season
opener and broke his leg,
which put him out of action
for six weeks. He returned in
time to help Athens tie powerful
Valdosta for the state
title, 29-29.
Most colleges overlooked
the 6 ft., 2 in., 220-pounder
because of his injury.
Earlier in the summer another
baseball signee, Price
Thomas, chose to sell his
pitching talents to the Milwaukee
Brewers for a reported
$50,000 price tag.

"A tournament of this type will definitely result in more
junior high wrestling teams in the state," said Umbach.
"There are a few schools in the state now with teams for
younger boys."
The NCAA meet will be covered by the ABC television
network and featured on the "Wide World of Sports" program.
' 'A lot of people will attend the tournament out of curiosity,"
said Umbach, and quite a few people will probably watch
the television coverage for the reason that it is being held
in Auburn."
The tournament will be held on the first days of spring
quarter, with classes starting on the Friday of the 26th. The
finals will be held Saturday night and will probably attract
a sell-out crowd.
According to Umbach, the tournament carries a following
of about 2000 wrestling fans from across the nation, and to
see the enthusiasm of these dedicated fans will be worth the
price of admission.

Grand
Finale
The South has never been a national power in collegiate
wrestling as in other sports such as football, baseball or
swimming, and a tournament of such popularity being held
in Auburn will definitely create interest among young athletes
in this area.
Many people still think of the sport of wrestling as two
big lugs wearing capes and masks grappling in a rope trimmed
ring, with a referee continuously topping hair pulling and the
use of brass knuckles.
However, the true sport matches athletes of equal weights
in a test of overcoming the opponent by a series of moves and
counter moves.
Wrestling is very popular in the north and west, with grammar
school tournaments being almost as popular as little
league football and baseball in many areas.
When athletes begin a sport in grammar school, it is a good
chance that they will be quite skilled at the sport by the time
they reach high school, and almost masters by the time they
enter college.
Since universities recruit a great deal in their local areas,
it makes sense that some interest in wrestling among the
youth in this area would be very beneficial to Auburn, as
well as to other universities in the South.
Another signee reneges
TheAuburn Athletic Department seems to be having a
hard time holding athletes who have signed grant-in-aid
scholarships for 1970-71.
Only last week, Steve Waterbury chose a baseball contract
with the Saint Louis Considered a top college
Cardinals rather than an prospect and all-star candi-
Auburn basketball uniform,
and now football signee
Mike Nash has refused his
room in Sewell Hall for a
dormitory in Athens, Ga.
Because of an agreement
by all the SEC and .Atlantic
Coast Conference schools not
to tamper with signees of
other schools, Nash will not
be eligible to play football
for the Bulldogs for two
years.
One report said Nash, a
native of Athens, will not
play even after his two-year
ineligibility period is over. .

SEC opponents Friday, August 14,1970 7- THE AUBURN PUlNtkUN
Alabama Crimson Tide Tigers begin mlh So. Ittis.
Ed. Note: The following is the last in a series of pre-sea-son
reports on Auburn's 1970 SEC football opponents.
LAST SEASON'S RECORD: 6-5, including a 47-33 loss to
Colorado in the Liberty Bowl; the most losses ever by a "Bear"
Bryant coached Tide team.
LETTERMEN RETURNING: 30, including safety Tommy
Wade who lettered in 1968.
LETTERMEN LOST: 22, 11 on offense, 11 on defense.
TOP RUSHING PROSPECT: Johnny Musso, who led (he
team last year in rushing and scoring as a sophomore, as well
as being the second leading pass receiver.
TOP RECEIVING PROSPECT: David Bailey, who caught
56 passes last year to break the old Bama record of 54 in one
season.
TOP DEFENSIVE PROSPECT: Tommy Wade, a two-year
starter as a sophomore and junior, who made All-America
Honorable Mention last year, although he was injured and did
not play a down.
OUTSTANDING SOPHOMORES: Tight end Randy Moore,
SEC wrestling champion John Hanna at tackle, and running
backs Joe LaBue and Ellis Beck were all starters at the end
of spring training.
Defensive backs Lanny Norris and Dave Knapp, were also
starters at the end of training on defense.
OUTSTANDING TRANSFER PROSPECTS: Fullback Dave
Brungard comes to Capstone from Ohio State. The 210-pound
transfer blazes a 4.5 second speed on the 40-yard sprint.
Offensive tackle Don Cokely and Linebacker Tom Surlas
are promising junior college graduates.
STRENGTHS: The Bama passing game appears intact with
the return of Scott Hunter, holder of nearly all the individual
game, season and career records previously held by such people
as Joe Namath, Steve Sloan, Ken Stabler and Harry Gilmer.
Hunter's job is made easier with such receivers as David
Bailey, George Ranager, and Johnny Musso. Musso also anchors
a rugged running game.
Bama's defensive secondary should be the strongest in
years as well as tremendous weight on both the defensive and
offensive.
WEAKNESSES: The Crimson Tide faces one of the toughest
scheduled in the nation, starting the 1970 season against
Southern Cal. and hitting Houston later in the year. The team
is depending heavily on the performances of up-coming sophomores
and transfer students to improve last season's weak
play.
COACH: Paul (Bear) Bryant.
LAST YEAR'S AUBURN-ALABAMA SCORE: Auburn 49,
Bama, 26.
THIS YEAR'S GAME: Nov. 28, in Birmingham's Legion
Field.
By BARRY KYRKLUND
The last time Coach
Ralph "Snug" Jordan's
Tigers faced Southern Mississippi
was in 1965, and
the Southerners walked
away with a 3-0 victory.
On Sept. 19, Jordan will
have a chance to avenge the
outcome of that embarrassing
game and start the 1970 edition
of the Auburn Tigers off
with a victory.
With 28 of his lettermen returning
from last year, Coach
P. W. (Bear) Underwood will
be attempting to improve
Southern's 1969 5-5 record.
Larry Moulton is the leading
rusher returning for the
Southerners, after gaining
604 yards and five touchdowns,
in 1969.
The team's leading receiver
and scorer returning is
Billy Mikel, who caught 47
passes last year for 774 yards
and nine touchdowns.
Line backers Bill Davis
and- Dickey Surac'e should be
tough this year after outstanding
performances last year
along with wing back Wayne
Hatcher and Center Joe Tug-gle.
Up from the freshman team
are safety Ray Guy, quarterback
Buddy Palazzo, offensive
tackle Bob Flanders
and flanker Doug Parker.
The Auburn squad lost a
large part of a fantastic defense
through the graduation
of such people as Buddy Mc-
Clinton and Mike Kolen, but
found talent in sophomores
Johnny Simmons, Steve Owens
and others during spring training.
Auburn's returning force on
offense will be a threst to
score a lot of points against
the Southerners with the return
of quarterback Pat Sullivan,
backs Mickey Zofko,
Wallace Clark and Tommy
Lowrey, ends Terry Beasley
and Ronnie Ross and linemen
John McDonald, Bill
McManus, and Jimmy and

catcher signs
B a s e b a l l Coach Paul
Nix has recently acquired
another catcher for his 1971
squad with the signing of
Ricky Davidson, an all-around
athlete from Lee
High School in Huntsville.
A f o o t b a l l , basketball
and baseball letterman, Davidson
received the Dr. Frank
Berg Award given to the outstanding
scholar-athlete at
Lee.
In the recent East-West
football game in Birmingham
Davidson was selected as
one of the three most valuable
players.
In his junior year at Lee,
Davidson's team boasted a
perfect 20-0 record, and in
his senior season, the team
finished with a 19-1 record
as Davidson's bat racked up
a .452 batting average.
Davidson will be competing
against All-SEC Catcher
Andy Merchant for playing
time at Auburn.

Jobs scarce for graduates
Although the student body
has increased by 3,000 over
last year, the number of student
interviews declined from
10,879 to 10,694 with 583
companies and government
agencies scheduling interviews,
a decrease of 95.
The University Placement
Service reports that the number
of persons seeking placement
has increased 48 per
cent at the bachelors level,
changed slightly at the masters
level and doubled at the
doctorate level.
Agricultural graduates are
not as hard hit as most according
to Dr. E. V. Smith,
dean of the School of Agriculture.
"Agriculture students
are in a more favorable position
because of the alternatives
offered," he commented.
"Several agencies are anxious
to recruit new people
into these agencies. Agricultural
agencies are recruiting,
too.
Dr. J. Grady Cox, dean of
the School of Engineering,
says that the job market for
engineering graduates "is
still good but there are not
as many offers from the defense
and space related industries.
The students are
accepting a higher percentage
of offers from companies
based on the operational
economy of the country."
According to Dr. E. Keith
McPheeters, dean of the
School of Architecture and the
Fine Arts, "There is no lack
of jabs for graduates in architecture
and building technology.
Interior and industrial
design students are
having more trouble finding
jobs because of government
cutbacks in defense contracts.
However, this is " a
temporary problem and the
situation is not critical."
Dr. C. L. Adam, head of
the Department of Textile
Engineering, says that "all
graduates have acceptable
job offers. There are less offers,
but starting salaries
are up approximately $50 a
month.
Dr. Truman M. Pierce,
dean of the School of Education,
reports that "we encountered
no placement problems
for our graduates since
the economic regression hasn't
struck Auburn University
V6t.
Dr. R. G. Pitts, head of
the Department of Aerospace
Engineering, attributes the
decrease in job opportunities
for aerospace engineering
graduates to "less activity
from defense."
"Job offers are down to
one or two per graduate,"
says Pitts, "however, more
aerospace engineers are being
used in these fields instead
of people from other
fields of engineering because
of a greater turn out of aerospace
engineers."

Law and order not always compatable - Shields
By BILL TWINER
Mr. Alan J. Shields, associate
professor of sociology,
believes that law
and order are not always
compatible s i n c e order,
which is the easiest to establish,
protects the status
quo while laws protect
deviancy.
According to Shields,
societies have always maintained
order through law enforcement
agencies which
represent the values held by
the people. In fact, people
usually react to law enforcement
and not the actual laws.
In Shields opinion, law enforcement
agencies today face
a problem of relevancy due to
Secretaries

The first in a series of
monthly programs sponsored
by the Auburn chapter of
the National Secretaries
Association will be held

assistant professor of elementary
education, will give

The public is invited, with
a special invitation extended

their structure-they were originally
established to maintain
the status quo and not
justice.
In fact, the general public
was reluctant to establish
agencies such as the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, which
was to be only for investigation,
because they wanted to
keep the government out of
individual affairs as much as
possible.
The Bill of Rights, which
was written to help protect
deviancy, is viewed by Shields
as an attempt to maintain our
two-party system, which
thrives on differences of opinion.
Shields believes that it
is the deviants in a society
who move it forward or even
backward and that "today we
are attacking deviancy instead
of protecting it."
These attacks against deviancy
are evidenced in the
increasing number of scapegoat
groups, says Shields,
which have different opinions
than the establishment.
"Society will react violently
to any form of extreme
deviancy, whether it is in the
form of a Hitler or a Christ.
In fact, both meet with the
same fate."
Our society was the first
to pass treason laws to control
extremedeviancy^but,
according to Shields, few people
have ever been convicted
of the act.
Shields believes that some
changes in the interpretation
of our laws will result because
of the shift in our country
from a rural-oriented to an
urban-oriented society.
Shields points to the fact
that when our country was
predominantly rural, people
were brought up in an environment
that tolerated little
deviancy from the norm. But
the local laws only applied
to the immediate area since
very few people moved far
from the extended family.
But now with the increased
mobility and urbanization of
today's society, people are
more likely to live in many
different places. Many of the
laws made under our rural
system still exist, but, according
to Shields, do not apply
to the urban way of life.
"Freedom is frightening
and with freedom comes a responsibility,"
Shields feels.
"We need to instill respect
for the law instead of fear."
Shields believes that our
laws need to be more relevant
to our changing society but
adds that "it is easy, of
course, for a college professor
to maintain an idealistic
attitude."

College presidents resign
By Bill Twiner
The annual turnover in college presidents has jumped almost
80 per cent in the last three years according to figures
released by the American Council on Education. These figures
also show that the average tenure of the college president
has fallen from about 11 years to six years and is declining
steadily.
Presidents have resigned at Harvard, Stanford, Arizona
State, Texas at Austin, Texas A. and M., the State University
of New York, Oklahoma, Southern Connecticut State College,
Illinois State University, University of South Florida, Virginia
State College and Pennsylvania State University, just
to name a few. Presidents have announced they are leaving
in the next year at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey,
and the Universities of Arizona, New Hampshire, Illinois,
North Dakota, and Purdue.
According to the August 3 issue of U.S. News and World
Report, of the 274 institutions in the State College Association,
about 10 per cent are now without presidents.
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA
The special committee to select a president has received
about 50 recommendations from which it will select six persons
who will then run in a general campus wide election,
Commenting on the qualifications of the future presidents, one
of the committee members, Ed Deaton, 4SOC, said, "The USF
president doesn't necessarily need a Ph.D. or its equivalent.
However, the person should have academic-not only business-qualifications.
''
FRANCONIA COLLEGE
This seven-year-old experimental college, which has done
away with such academic traditions as required programs and
and courses for its students has a new president-23-year-old
Leon Botstein, a Harvard graduate. Botstein says that he will
be "academic president" and will devote his time to "instilling
common sense and legitimacy."
According to the new president, "Franconia can serve as
an educational laboratory for developing tools and techniques
suitable for colleges with far greater resources than ours. We
want to involve students in every aspect of college life." As
one 1970 graduate puts it, "Botstein is an experiment, perhaps
the most interesting of this decade."

THE AUBURN PlJUNiMXN - B Friday, August 14,1970
to chambers County
s>d AU students investigate mysterious rocks
ByKATHYRICE
Forty-eight mysterious
piles of rock are scattered
throughout a 15-acre section
of Chambers County. Are
they monuments or burial
mounds built by early southeast
Indians? Or are they
a legacy left by later European
settlers?
A group of Auburn students,
under the direction of
Mrs. Frances . French, assistant
professor of sociology,
are attempting to answer
these and other questions
concerning the heaps
of loosely assembled rocks-some
weighing as much as
1,000 pounds.
Although the Auburn excavators
have been digging
through the rock piles, or
cairns, since their discovery
two years ago, mystery still
surrounds the piles. Searching
for artifacts-material
indicating the work of man-the
student anthropologists
have uncovered eight pieces
of unornamented pottery and
some broken animal bones.
But none of the items gives
a clue to the date or purpose
of the mounds.
According to Mrs. French,
it is hoped that continued
work will establish when
the monuments were built,
their function and whether
or not they were constructed
by American Indians. Such
evidence could help to indicate
that other stone sites,
previously attributed to European
settlers, might be
traced to the Indians,
Natural hardships inhibit
work, which the expedition,
usually composed of eight
members, can attempt only
on Saturdays. A parachute
has to be put up to shield
the excavators from the sun,
while the heat and rain sometimes
keep them away altogether.
If it starts to rain
during the long 9 to 5 day
they must leave immediately
to avoid being stranded when
the logging road floods.
When weather does permit,
the group proceeds diligently
in the strenoustask
of excavation. As a group
they move the rocks composing
a cairn's structure
to expose the earth beneath.
Partial remains of the
first cairn excavated indicate
that it might have been
at one time as much as seven
feet tall, though in it's deteriorated
state it measured
only two and a half feet in
height, according to Mrs.
French.
One rock in the first cairn
weighed so much it had to
left in place with excavation
continuing around it.
Scanning for ant if acts,
members of the group fill
buckets with soil from beneath
the dismantled construction.
The soil from each
bucket is then put through a
screen to obtain any small
objects such as broken pottery'pieces,
which might have
been overlooked.
The opportunity to get
involved with the project
is still open to any Auburn
student regardless of curriculum,
Mrs. French said. No
specific skill is required to
join the group since processes
like screening the soil
can be learned quickly. However,
a photographer would
be especially beneficial to
the excavation work, she
said.
Two cairns have already
been excavated and work
is being done now on a stone
wall. If nothing else of importance
is found around the
wall, the project will be
discontinued after the excavation
of one other wall.
Mrs. French, who studied
anthropology at Louisiana
State University and Pennsylvania
State University,
was notified by the owners
of the property after they
discovered one of the cairns.
The University then granted
aid to support the project because
of its research value.
3y contacting the Sociology
Department this fall,
one can gain a first hand
anthropological experience
as over 100 other students
have done already. Before
going to the site the student
must promise not to reveal
the location to outsiders or
go to the site without permission.
Also the novice
excavator must sign a waiver
stating the University will
not be held responsible for
anything that happens at the
site.
Regardless of what the
antifacts reveal of the monu-men's
origin, Mrs. French
said the student excavator
will develop appreciation for
the time-consuming and tedious
effort required for historical
research.
Excavation is a long, slow
proces^^requiring^patien^^
determination, Mrs. French
said, but the hope of discovery
spurs the anthropologists
on.
