Students eligible to participate
in food commodities program
Poor students, like other
poor people, may apply for
government issued surplus
food at reduced rates.
A number of legal and eco­nomic
factors determine eli­gibility
for the commodities
food program in Lee County.
A student wishing to apply for
eligibility should contact the
Commodities Food Warehouse,
745-6787, 1214 Monroe Ave.,
Opelika. A household is de­fined
as persons who live to­gether
and share a common ta­ble
and stove.
The money per month a per­son
has is also a consideration
for eligibility. One person liv­ing
alone may make no more
than $135 per month. Two per­sons
living together may make
no more than $220; three no
more than $285; four no more
than $330; five no more than
$370; and six no more than
$410.
For more than six persons,
$35 is added for each person
over 10 years old per month.
Money spent for tuition is
prorated over the quarter and
computed in the allowable month­ly
income.
Students who think they may
qualify for the program can
apply Jan. 18 through Jan. 22
at the Food Commodities Ware­house.
Food is distributed at
the warehouse the month after
qualification.
Presently there are approxi­mately
40 students on the rolls
fa discount food.
Some have praised the in­clusion
of college students in
the commodities food program,
while others have disagreed .One
school of thought runs that stu­dents
will one day be produc­tive
members of society and the
investment will yield high re­turns.
The negative side is ex­pressed
by Gwen Bole, VISTA
worker, "By the standards Of
the poor, college is a luxury.
Although commodity foods may
be of assistance to many strug­gling
students, I cannot imagine
that they would ever be a neces­sity
for students. Even a stu­dent
with heavy financial dif­ficulties
can get a university
loan, or even drop out for a
quarter and work. There are
many people in Lee County who
rely on commodies for thier sole
food supply.
''Because the resourses and
staff of the food commodities
system are limited, overloading
the roles will damage those
most in need of the program,"
she said.
"Assuredly many students
need assistance, but not at
the expense of the truly poor.
It becomes a matter of priori­ties,"
she said.
The new campus radio sta­tion
will begin broadcasting
in February, according to Re­ne
Brinsfield, 2PL, temporary
manager.
A definite, opening date has
not been set because the sta­tion
staff is not sure how long
the installation of broadcasting
equipment will take, said Brins­field.
The Federal Communica­tions
Commission issued a con­struction
permit to the station
Dec. 30. Call letters WEGL have
been requested.
The station will be a nonr
commercial FM station, 91.1 on
the dial. Programming will con­sist
of music, news, sports and
special programs. The station
will sign on at 6:30 a.m. and
will feature contemporary easy
listening music until 9 a.m.,
when it will sign off. It will re­sume
broadcasting at 3 p.m.,
featuring "Top 40" music in
the afternoon and progressive
rock later in the night. Sign off
time is midnight.
"Over fifty per cent of the
music will come from albums in­stead
of the usual 45 rpm sing­les,"
said Jimmy Carter, 1GSP,
temporary program director. On
the weekends, the station will
play "oldies" along with con­temporary
hits. Each week a
talk show called Point-Counter­point
will feature interviews with
various people of interest to the
University community. Listeners
will be able to ask questions by
telephone to the person being
interviewed.
Special programs scheduled
include "The History of Rock
and Roll;" a "rockumentary;"
"The Shadow," an old radio
serial; and "Power Line," a
syndicated "top 40" program.
The station will accept requests
for music but will not mention
over the air the names-of those
who request the music.
The temporary organizational
staff for the station consists of
Brinsfield; Carter; Rob Rainey,
2GSP, news director; John Mc-
Giboney, 2SED, public affairs
director; and Jeff Comer, 2GB,
chief engineer. John Lopiccolo,
a speech instructor, will serve
as faculty adviser.
Other than the elimination of
commercials, operation" of tn<i
campus station will be similar
to other stations. The station is
classified as educational, and,
besides regular programming, it

Civil rights worker to discuss
Angela Davis Tuesday night
By Linda Parham
Plainsman Staff Writer
"A Fair Trial for Angela
Davis" will be discussed by
Ella Baker, a former officer
of several civil rights organ­izations,
who will speak in
Haley Center room 2370 Tues­day
night.
Her appearance on campus,
sponsored by the Human Rights
Forum and the Black Students
Union, was announced this week
at an HRF meeting.
The Forum also announced
that the student YWCA of Talla­dega
College will sponsor a
workshop this weekend on "Ra-cism-
the One Imperative."
An assistant field secretary
of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo­ple
in the 1940's, Miss Baker
later became national director
of NAACP branches. As presi­dent
of the New York branch,
she helped initiate community
action against de facto segrega­tion
in public schools following
the 1954 Supreme Court deci­sion.
Miss Baker coordinated the
first South-wide project of the
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference and traveled to At­lanta
to set up an SCLC office.
In 1960 she organized and coor­dinated
a conference of sit-in
leaders where the Student Non­violent
Coordinating Committee
was formed.
Also, Miss Baker helped found
the Mississippi Freedom Demo­cratic
Party which challenged
the National Democratic Party in
Atlantic City in 1964. She now
serves as consultant for a num­ber
of human rights groups.
Miss Baker was born in Nor­folk,
Va., grew up in North Car­olina
and was graduated from
Shaw University in Raleigh.
The YWCA workshop in Talla­dega
offers general and group
discussion on "Racism-the One
Imperative" and movies titled
"Black History-Lost, Strayed
or Stolen" and "Conversation
with Bobby Seale in Prison."
On Sunday, Miss Baker will
speak on "A Fair Trial for An­gela
Davis."
A registration fee of $6.50
covers four meals and overnight
lodging for the workshop. Addi­tional
information can be ob­tained
from Fred van Hartes-veldt,
president of the Human
Rights Forum.

A U gets its first Ford fellow
James W. Sheldrew, 29,
is Auburn's first Ford Foun­dation
fellow. A graduate
assistant in the history de­partment,
he was one of
87 Ph.D. candidates in the
nation to be awarded a Ford
Foundation fellowship in
the field of ethnic studies.
The Ford Foundation ini­tiated
the awards for ethnic
studies this year to help
develop scholars know-ledgable
about the history
and culture of America's
ethnic minorities and to
complement the Foundation's
support over the past two
years of Afro-American
studies as a new field of
scholarly inquiry.
The new program awarded
S288.052 to the 87 students
chosen from 153 applicants
to receive Ford fellowships.
Sheldrew's doctoral dis­sertation
is entitled "The
Black Cinema and 'The
Birth of a Nation:' the
Chameleon Color of the
Celluloid Negro, 1916-1926."
According to Sheldrew,
the 1916 film "The Birth
of a Nation" by David
Griffith allegedly told the
"true story" of the South,
including such controversial
topics as Radical Recon­struction,
the Negro in
southern politics, Negro
sexuality and miscegena­tion.
Although Griffith re­presented
his degrading
picture of the Negro charac­ter
as the latest in his­torical
and anthropological
scholarship, Negroes re­sented
the stereotypes in
"Birth of a Nation" Shel­drew
explained.
More than 140 film cor­porations
were created by
Negroes made prosperous
by a war-time economy to
rebut Griffith's stereotypes.
The films produced by these
corporations also reinforced
the Horatio Alger dreams of

Students to organize
ACLU diopter here
By Thorn Botsford
Plainsman Staff Writer
A group of students at­tempting
to establish a chap­ter
of the American Civil
Liberties Union on campus
will hold an organizational
meeting Tuesday at 7 p.m.
in Commons 254.
The meeting will con­cern
the election of tem­porary
officers and adoption
of a constitution. All in­terested
students are in­vited
to attend.
ACLU is a nationwide,
nonpartisan, legal organi­zation
concerned with the
protection of civil liberties.
"The organization has been
active in court cases in­volving
the abuse of civil
liberties," said John Saxon,
2GC, an ACLU member who
is among those organizing
the group.
The ACLU has participated
in legal actions concerning
prayer in schools, academic
freedom and discrimination
in public facilities. Locally,
the ACLU obtained an in­junction
in 1969 which al­lowed
the Rev. William Slone
Coffin to speak on campus.
"There is a local ACLU
Chapter in Auburn, but this
organization is primarily
composed of citizens of the
Auburn community. We would
like to organize a chapter
which would involve the ef­forts
of students concerned
with affairs of the Univer­sity,"
said Saxon.
Before the group can be­come
a campus organization,
the Student Senate must ap­prove
its constitution. The
organization must also go
through a probationary pe­riod.
black communities whose
aspirations and values
were "completely middle
class," Sheldrew said.
His dissertation is to be
an in-depth analysis of
some of these films with
the Ford Foundation grant
to cover the cost of travel
expenses incurred in an
attempt to locate several
key films or film scripts.
"I know the names of the
producers, the actors and
where several of the key
films were shown, but I'm
not sure where the films
are," said Sheldrew. "I
have several leads to trace,
and, if I can get the scripts,
they will be sufficient."
A fairly typical plot was
that of a black film, "The
Burden of Race," produced
in 1918, said Sheldrew. In
the film, a Negro boy grad­uates
from Harvard and re­turns
to his hometown in
Tennessee. There he meets
and falls in love with "the
prettiest white girl in town."
The plot revolves around
the boy's indecision as to
whether to marry the girl,
knowing that if he does, he
is doomed to "certain fail­ure"
for the rest of his
life.
Another concern of black
producers was to show the
patriotic contribution of
blacks to America, accord­ing
to Sheldrew.
"The Slacker," produced
by the Peter P. Jones Film
Company in 1917, showed
Negro soldiers in the Span­ish
American War taking
San Juan Hill. A two-reel
film, "Our Colored Fight­ers,"
produced by the Down­ing
Film Corporation of
New York showed the im­portance
of Negro troops in
World War I.
"Blacks vicariously par­ticipated
in the films. They
were an inspiration to the
blacks and a lesson to
whites, although I doubt if
a significant number of
whites ever saw the films,"
said Sheldrew.
A native of Portland, Ore.,
Sheldrew received a B.A.
in history at the University
of Oregon. He became in­terested
in southern history
while studying there under
a southern historian, Wen­dell
Holmes Stephenson.
Sheldrew said this interest
deepened while he was
studying with Dr. Malcom
McMillan and Dr. Allen
Jones at Auburn.
He received the Master's
at Auburn in radio and tele­vision.
Television is po­tentially
a very effective
means of teaching history,
said Sheldrew, explaining
that he did his Master's
study in radio and televi­sion
to familiarize himself
with the two mediums.
Selective Service enacts
18 youth r
By Dick Reiher
Plainsman Staff Writer
Eighteen major recommen­dations
of the Selective Ser­vice
System's Youth Advi­sory
Committees have or are
being implemented as a re­sult
of Draft Director Curtis
Tarr's modernization of the
Selective Service System.
The Youth Advisory Com­mittees
submitted 36 recom­mendations
of which only
two have been disapproved.
Ten were beyond the juris­diction
of the Selective Ser­vice
System and were re­ferred
to the Executive
Branch or Congress for con­sideration.
The other six
are being studied further.
Of the 18 recommenda­tions
adopted, some of the
more significant include:
increasing the quality and
quantity of draft information
for registrants, schools and
counselors; making draft
boards more representative
of today's young registrants;
broadening the conscientious
objector work program; com­puterizing
and updating op­erations
and data collection;
improving rules to minimize
draft deferments; and provid­ing
closer supervision of lo­cal
board actions.
A complete list of changes
may be obtained on request
from the Public Information
Office of Selective Service
National Headquarters, Room
101,1724 F St., Washington,
D. C. 20435.
According to Gary Camp­bell,
political science in­structor
and head of the
Draft Counseling Service,
these changes will have
little effect on the coun­seling
of approximately 95
per cent of those who use
the Service.
Campbell said that the
changes only affect the way
the Selective Service Sys­tem
operates internally and
that the System itself will
remain essentially the same.
There are two other chan­ges
of major importance
which are not included on
the list but were implemen­ted
earlier. Both of these
deal specifically with draft
deferments.
The first was brought
about by a Supreme Court
ruling for the primary test
for conscientious objectors.
The term "religious train­ing
and belief" as used in
the draft law may include
"solely ethical and moral
beliefs" as long as these
are sincerely held. This is
in addition to religious be­liefs.
The second change is the
loss of certain deferments.
As of April 23. 1970, no fu­ture
deferments will be
granted for occupations, ag­riculture
or paternity unless
such deferment was reques­ted
before that date. This
does not mean that persons
having these deferments will
lose them, but only that no
new ones will be issued.

President Philpott approves
3 new master's programs
Three new master's pro­grams
have been approved
at Auburn, effective Jan. 1,
by Pres. Harry M. Philpott.
The three programs are
the Master of Music and the
Master of Industrial Design,
to be conducted by the De­partment
of Music and the
Department of Architecture
respectively in the School
of Architecture and Fine
Arts, and the Master of Elec­trical
Engineering by the De­partment

As is true of all other
graduate programs at Auburn,
these are to be administered
by the Graduate School.

28 years a resident of Co­lumbia,

Tuskegee Nov. 27 following
her death on Nov. 24.
the Master of Fine Arts de­gree
in the Department of
Art.
The Department of Elec­trical
Engineering already
offers the Master of Science
degree. The new graduate
program is on a non-thesis
basis and is the only such
professional degree now of­fered
by the School of En­gineering.
According to Dr. Wilford
S. Bailey, vice-president
for academic and administra­tive
affairs, it will be nec­essary
to limit the enrol­ment
in these programs be­cause
of the limited re­sources
and facilities a-vailable
for them at this
time.
The Student Government
Association's third Student
Opinion Survey has shown
Chicago, The Fifth Dimen­sion
and Blood, Sweat and
Tears to be the groups most
preferred as entertainment
by Auburn students. The
poll also verified the valid­ity
of the three SGA sur­veys
taken last quarter.
Questions asking stu­dents
to rate 38 popular
entertainers and groups gave
Chicago, who will appear
in Auburn Jan. 22, the top
spot with 62 per cent of
those polled listing the
group as one of their three
favorites.
Other top groups and
their percentages were: The
Fifth Dimension, 58 per
cent; Blood, Sweat and
Tears, 57 per cent; Neil
Diamond, 55 per cent; Cros­by,
Stills, Nash and Young,
The Lettermen and The
Supremes, 48 per cent each;
The Carpenters, 47 per
cent; and Burt Bacharach
and Grand Funk, 46 per
cent each. Joe Cocker and
The Association also rated
well in being picked num­ber
one.
Three questions asked
previously and used to de­termine
the survey's valid­ity
showed that the three
surveys taken have had
consistent results. Analy­sis
showed the three polls
to be accurate to within a
range of plus or minus 3.1
'per cent.
Questions concerning ac­ademic
advisors revealed
that 75 per cent of those
polled have specific advi­sors
in their curriculum to
whom they may go with aca­demic
and administrative
problems. Of these, 55 per
cent thought the program
successful, with 33 per
cent unsure. Of those with­out
advisors, 53 per cent
thought it would benefit
them to have such a pro­gram,
and 65 per cent said
it would benefit freshmen.
Students polled thought
an intercultural dorm would
tend to integrate foreign
students into the Univer­sity
community but showed
a general aversion for par­ticipating
in such a project
themselves. Sixty-five per
cent felt it would help for­eign
students but 59 per
cent said they would not
participate and another 14
per cent were unsure. Com­ments
received were about
half for and half against the
idea.
The poll showed a general
interest in the Campus Col­or
section added to The
Plainsman last quarter.
Thirty-nine per cent said
they read the feature oc­casionally
and 47 per cent

The vote and the nation's youth
It's like being given the keys to
the car for the first time but forbid­den
to drive in your own neighborhood
because you might hit one of your
neighbors.
Last month, the U. S. Supreme
Court upheld a Congressional mea­sure
for enfranchisement of 18-year-olds
in national elections, but re­served
for the states the decision of
whether the young should vote in lo­cal
and state elections.
The added voter strength of 11,-
500,000 young people is sure to alter
the cast of national politics. And
now that we have become hot politi­cal
property, we await, somewhat
smugly, the attempts by the national
political parties to win our fealties.
But the federal vote is but an inch
and we want a mile.
On Feb. 6, the Governor's Student
Leadership Commission, made up of
student body presidents from Alabama
colleges, will announce plans for a
drive to register young voters and to
win the right to vote in state and lo­cal
elections. Jim Zeigler, SGA presi­dent
at the University of Alabama, is
pushing the effort.
We urge Auburn students to regis­ter
now to vote in federal elections,
and to join in the effort to win state
approval of the 18-year-old vote.
We are convinced that our ideas
about choosing leaders are as valid
as anyone else's. A dose of youthful
idealism can serve to revive the na­tion's
government.
Horizons Symposium
In the Color section this week, we
feature Horizons Symposium, which
this year will replace the Auburn
Conference On International Affairs
(ACOIA) to provide "extra-curricu­lar
academics" by bringing outstand­ing
lecturers to campus.
After its inception in 1958, ACOIA
gradually departed from its original
purpose. (See story, p. 8, and Per­spective,
this page.) Though it made
admirable attempts, ACOIA simply
could not overcome the stubborn in­difference
of Auburn students towards
international affairs.
To increase attendance by students
at lectures the Conference in re­cent
years has strayed from interna­tional
topics to national politics.
Last year, ACOIA attempted to
solve its scheduling problems by
abandoning the "conference" format;
speakers were presented over a two-week
period.
Horizons Symposium is designed
to avoid the problems which were in­herent
in the structure of ACOIA.
There is no central topic; the speak­ers
represent diverse areas of con­temporary
life; the Symposium is
spread over a four-month period.
ACOIA provided a penetrating look
at one topic; Horizons will look to
the future.
But Horizons, like ACOIA, must
also cambat student apathy. With
weapons like Ralph Nader, Julian
Bond, and Gloria Steinem, however,
the battle will be easier.
Like Anthony Copeland, Horizon's
quietly aggressive chairman, we are
hopeful that students will want to
attend the Horizons events.
We'll be on the front row.
Intentional hurt
The incident between Alpha Phi
Omega and Elks Lodge No. 1834
distresses us.
Apparently, the Lodge manager,
J. D. Bankston, who is not himself
an Elk, agreed on the Elks' behalf to
rent the Lodge ballroom to A Phi O
for its annual Sweetheart Ball, as
the group was sponsored by a Lodge
member.
That was before Bankston learned
that A Phi O has two Negro mem­bers.
When A Phi O member Robert Gard­ner
heard that the Elk's Lodge does
not admit Negroes, he became con­cerned
and contacted Bankston to
tell him about A Phi O's Negro mem­bers.
Bankston consulted the Elks
Lodge Exalted Leader, James Irvin.
Irvin said A Phi O could use the
ballroom only if the two Negro mem­bers
did iiOi attend the Ball.
In this instance, two Elks Lodge
policies clashed-one admitting the
guests of Elks members and one pro­hibiting
Negroes.
The latter policy is a sharp remin­der
that racial prejudice is still very
much alive.
We regret the Elks' treatment of
two Auburn students.
Yay, team!
As much as we hate to brag, wt
just can't let this football season go
without notice.
Our number-10-in-the-nation foot­ball
team and its noble coach have
made us very proud.
We are proud, too, of our band,
which like Doc Severinson just
stands there calmly and pours out
great music.
It's nice to be an Auburn fan.

I'M TRYING TO MAKE £N0U6H MONEY TO GET AWAV FROM ALL THIS.*
Martha Evans
Located in the basement
of a children's shoe store in
Birmingham is a small, dark,
smoke-filled establishment
where you can buy beer in
big pitchers.
(The combination of beer
and children's shoes doesn't
seem so odd in Birmingham
where there are many other
incongruities: graceful piney
mountains and foul polluting
steel mills; a huge impressive
Baptist church run by a
group of earnest Christians
who don't allow black peo­ple
to be members of their
congregation. Birmingham
has turned out a do-gooding
president of Girls' Nation
and a black Communist who
was one of the few women
to make the FBI's list of
the ten most wanted crimi­nals.)
Most of the people who
sit under the children's shoe
store and drink beer are
students from nearby col­leges.
They were drinking there
the night before Christmas
Eve as jovially, if not more
so, as any other night. The
owner -jolly, snow-headed,
and overly-cute-was glad-handing
all the establish­ment's
regular customers,
their mutual recognition
apparently instilling mutual
feelings of self-importance.
Broad, sloppy grins were
on most of their faces, with
the exception of some of the
girls who wore demure
smirks. A pair of exceptional­ly
unexceptional guitarists/
singers were entertaining
by strumming repetitiously
and singing unimaginatively
with a diminished country
twang.
Then one of them drawled

Freshmen, take heart- sun shines through rains
The Monday before the start
of winter quarter was gray
and rainy. I sat at a desk in
the corner of the Plainsman
office trying to come up with
an idea for a column. Finally
I decided to go to the Grille
for a cup of coffee, hoping the
walk and/or the coffee would
inspire me.
On the way back to the of­fice,
I watched a girl cross
the street at Toomer's Cor­ner.
Dodging a mud puddle,
she splashed water on her
new shoes. She looked con­fused
and unhappy. Probably
a new student, I thought.
Then I started thinking
about my first winter quarter
at Auburn and decided to
write a things-are-darkest-before
- the - dawn - don't - give
up-the-ship sermonette for
new s t u d e n t s ' especially
those in Auburn Hall.
It was raining the day I ar­rived,
a freshman transfer
student from Valdosta State
College in Valdosta, Ga. My
sister helped me carry all
my paraphernalia into Au­burn
Hall and bought me a
chocolate milk shake at
Jack's. Then she left-I al­most
cried.
My room was incredibly
ugly. Because of the way
some architectural fool de­signed
the building, all I
could see out my window was
the window opposite mine in
the other wing of the dorm.
Or, looking down, I could
see trash cans and a narrow
strip of grass. I felt like the
lonely occupant of a big city
tenement.
Once the other girls on the
hall returned-I came early for
"orientation "-their noisy
cheerfulness and bright pos-

ters, bedspreads and bulletin
boards obscured the drabness
somewhat. But I was the new
girl on the hall. Fall quarter
had cemented friendships and
animosities among the resi-dents
of second floor. I
couldn't think of anything to
say to anybody. I wanted to
cry.
A girl named Judy rescued
me. She was giggly and every­body
liked her. She managed
to make me smile and soon
I felt at home.
The next day it was still
raining as I set out in my
brand new saddle oxfords to
find Commons and register.
Registration was hell. I wan­dered
around trying to find
the right rooms and the right
course cards. I didn't know
what I was doing. Again I
wanted to cry.
It rained a lot more that
,'ifoI'-'I i»M!tiui^ 3ni^d 9x6
quarter. I had a lot of blind
dates with people I didn't
like. I lost my umbrella. I had
a seven o'clock class. I
gained weight. I took a lot of
cold showers because the hot
water supply at Auburn Hall
is very limited.
That was 1968. I think win­ter
quarter of 1971 will be
better. My first class is at
nine. And, thank heavens, I
didn't have to drop or add.
I rent a room on Wrights
Mill Road with a big double
bed, a rug on the floor and
windows on two sides.
Judy has graduated and
married so I don't get to see
her very often. But I have
plenty of friends, including a
couple of professors, that I'll
miss after I graduate.
Anyway, things do get bet­ter
and . . . sometimes the
sun shines.
going to get Melvin up there
and everyone got happier.
After considerable urging
from the people at the ta­bles,
Melvin got up there.
He was tall, kind-looking,
a little too fat, and at least
slightly uncomfortable in
his surroundings. He was
black.
He sang a couple of songs-his
voice wasn't unpleasant,
but like the other two guys,
you would have just as soon
put a quarter in a juke box
and paid 50$ instead of 75$
for a beer.
Melvin finished his songs
and everyone clapped and
shouted, in a manner befit­ting
the establishment. Then,
because the audience was
so insistent, Melvin started
another number.
He was featured in a
"hambone" routine-playing
his knee, stomach, and
cheek with his hands to pro­duce
a variety of sounds-and
a comical appearance
as he slapped his hands on
the correct body parts while
maintaining the rhythm which
the two beaming bystanding
guitarists had established.
During the performance,
everyone in the place in­dicated
his immense en-,
joyment of Melvin shouting
"Go. Melvin," or "Get it,
hambone," or "All Right!" :
Melvin continued for an
incredibly long time-maybe
15 or 20 minutes-but that's
a long time to make music
with only your body for
equipment. Finally, he quit
and everyone clapped very
loudly while he shuffled
down from the stage.
Melvin was a little bit
clumsy as he walked to the
bar. He was the only cus­tomer
of his color in the
place. He leaned there after
ordering a beer. The happy
drinking people, after clap­ping
him off, turned back to
their friends.
Everyone, except maybe
Melvin and the black waiter,
seemed to be caught up in
the hilarity. It was almost
Christmas.

University Senate should seriously consider student opinion
The resolution passed re­cently
by the Student Senate
which calls for voluntary
class attendance and the es­tablishment
of a uniform ten-point
grade scale will proba­bly
accomplish absolutely
nothing.
The University Senate, to
which this recommendation
was made, officially doesn't
even have to consider the
idea. And even if the resolu­tion
is considered, defeat
is almost certain.
A resolution is simply an
expression of the sentiments
of the Student Senate, but it
should be remembered that
such a resolution represents
the feelings of the entire
student body.
The matter of class atten­dance
seems fairly simple.
"College students have
enough initiative to attend
classes on their own," says
the resolution, "and if not,
they will be the ones to suf­fer
the consequences."
The resolution is correct.
It is absurd to require adults,
and college students are
adults, to attend classes for
which they are paying. If stu­dents
don't care enough to be
conscientious, required at­tendance
is certainly not go­ing
to help them anyway.
It is understandable how
an instructor can desire at­tendance
every day by all of
his students. He feels, and
rightly so, that he has an im­portant
duty to perform and
that his job can't be done ef­fectively
if students do not
attend class.
But faculty members can
rest assured that if their
classes are interesting and
important, the students will
be there.
If, on the other hand, their
classes are dull and unimpor­tant,
why should the student
come anyway?
The University Senate, in
the interests of academic
freedom, should move quick­ly
to abolish mandatory class
attendance.
The matter of grade scales
is not quite as simple.
The practice of assigning
letter grades to students is
basically ridiculous because
it can never be done object­ively.
But grades are neces­sary.
Ideally, every instructor,
even those with high grade
scales, should feel that his
system is fair and that the
letter grade he assigns is a
reasonably accurate reflec­tion
of a student's accom­plishments.
It is therefore impossible
for every instructor to con­sider
one grade scale fair,
just as it is impossible for
an instructor to grade in a
manner which everyone con­siders
fair.
If an instructor is told
that everyone whose average
is above 90 should receive an
"A," and he feels this isn't
fair, he can simply make his
tests more difficult.
A rule then, such as the
one advocated by the Student
Senate, would probably be
largely ineffective, but would
at least standardize the
scale.
But the Student Senate, in
passing this resolution, has
expressed the opinion of
many students who rightly
feel that some instructors
have scales that are far too
high.
In some courses, for ex­ample,
an "A" requires an
average of 95 or better.
Certainly an "A" average
should indicate that a stu­dent
has done outstanding
work in a course, but this
goes a little too far when it
puts an "A" completely out
of reach.
No one can tell an instruc­tor
how to grade, but those
faculty members with high
scales should seriously con­sider
the opinion of the stu­dents
as represented by the
Student Senate.
Horizons Symposium portrays society in iii
By Anthony Copeland
Chairman, Horizons Symposium
The Auburn Conference on In­ternational
Affairs is DEAD! In the
place of the out-dated and inef­fective
ACOIA, we are introducing
a new concept in extracurricular
academics called Horizons Sym­posium.
During the past several years,
student participation in ACOIA was
consistently declining even though
the quality of speakers participating
was becoming better each year. In
my opinion this was due to several
factors, among them was the fact
that the program was becoming a
political forum rather than a means
to enlighten the student body in
regard to new ideas, and the placing
of topics outside of the interest
range of the average Auburn student.
Horizons Symposium does not con­tain
an overdose of political rhe­toric,
but rather consists of a base
for constructive intellectual thought.
Instead of having one topic which
may not appeal to the majority of
students, this year we have one
theme that is sub-divided into se­veral
topics. This central theme is
simply "Horizons." This "Hori­zons"
theme is then sub-divided
into areas covering entertainment,
politics, education, consumer af­fairs,
ecology, science, and wo­men's
rights.
Even though each topic may not
appeal to everyone, even the most
apathetic student will find at least
one topic he is interested in due to
Horizons Symposium's diversifica­tion.
It is the goal of Horizons Sym­posium
to present a picture of so­ciety
in the year 2000, by having
various speakers tell what is on the
"Horizon" in their respective fields.
We have obtained the finest speak­ers
available to cover these topics.
Each of the speakers is not only
an authority in his area, but also
has a tremendous amount of "stu­dent
appeal."
In the entertainment area, a film
presentation, Genesis II, will be
shown. These are student-made
films on contemporary subjects. In
the area of education, Dr. Leon
Botstein will speak on "The Future
of the American Education Sys­tem."
This should be interesting
because at the age of 23, Dr. Bot­stein
is the nation's youngest col­lege
president.
Julian Bond is the speaker chosen
to cover the political area. The
topic of his speech will be "What's
Next?" Dr. Arthur C. Clarke, who
co-authored "2001: A Space Odys­sey,"
will cover the science area
by lecturing on "Life in the Year
2001."
Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pit­man,
two noted and gifted women
authors, will have a presentation
on "The Future of the American
Woman" to cover the area of wo-mens'
rights. The highlight of the
series will be Ralph Nader's lec­ture
on "Environmental Hazards:
Man Made, Man Remedied." We feel
that Mr. Nader's lecture and dis­cussion
will amply cover our areas
of ecology and consumer affairs.
This year we are attempting to
take the speakers off the pedestal
on which they are usually presented
and 'get them into as much personal
contact with students as possible.
This will be done by allocating the
speakers' time among several stu­dent
groups which may have special
interest in the speaker and his
area. We also hope to get the speak­ers
into several classrooms for in­formal
discussions.
Horizons Symposium is a student
project for students. By utilizing
Student Opinion Surveys, we ,feel
this year's Symposium will be more
representative of student attitudes
and interests, and therefore will
mean a greater amount of student
participation.

Dining hoik I letters to the editor
Station to go on air in February
will serve as a laboratory for
students in broadcasting.
Chris Youtz, who headed a
Student Government Association
drive for a campus station, said
an educational FM station was
selected because it is easier to
get a license from the FCC for
such a station.
He als'o said there would be
fewer regulations and "red tape"
after a license is obtained and
the station could operate on
lower power. An SGA survey
revealed that 83 per cent of the
1300 Auburn students respond­ing
to the poll owned FM radios,
according to Youtz.
The radio station studio will
be located in the second quad­rant
of the first floor of Haley
Center. An 18-foot antenna will
jut from atop Haley Center reach­ing
138 feet above surrounding
terrain.
The radio station features
spacious facilities, including
two control rooms, one pro­duction
studio, two other rooms
that can be used for production,
an announcer's booth, a tele­type
room and a large storage
room.
Students will be able to visit
the station at anytime.
According to Youtz, the radio
station has been allotted $15,-
000 by Auburn's concession
board to cover initial costs. He
said the estimated 810,000 for
each year's operating costs will
come from student activity fees.
The proposed radio station
will not be Auburn's first. The
station which is now WAPI in
Birmingham was located on the
Auburn campus in the 1920's.
An SGA committee headed by
Youtz began work early this
year in an effort to establish a
radio station on the Auburn cam­pus.
The iniative by the SGA
led Pres. Harry M. Philpott to
appoint a committee to "study
and make recommendations"
concerning a campus radio sta­tion.
In April, this committee, con­sisting
of students, faculty, staff
and a local radio station owner,
voted in favor of a campus radio
station. President Philpott then
recommended to Auburn's Board
of Trustees that a 10-watt FM
radio station be established.
This recommendation was ap­proved
by the Trustees at their
June 1 meeting.
Chicago

with some extraordinary vital
statistics?"
Kath laughed, "Inever thought
ot it like that. What in fact it
refers to is the time. It's just
that it was 25 or 26 minutes to
four in the morning when that
particular song was written.
The story line is just about a
guy trying to write a song and
lacking some kind of inspiration
and in frustration he glances at
his wrist watch." .
Despite the fact that the se­cond
album, entitled "Chicago,"
didn't receive anything like the
kind of acclaim the first "Chica­go
Transit Authority" album got,
Kath revealed that it sold more
copies. "The first was loose,"
he said, "a kind of jam thing
while the second was laid to­gether
more tightly. The third
will be a combination of both
but a lot more freer."

of the Elks Lodge, J. D. Banks-ton.
(Bankston is employed by the
Elks Lodge but is not a mem­ber.)
Gardner said that when a
friend informed him that Elks
do not admit Negroes, he con­sulted
Bankston, who confirmed
the information.
Gardner said he informed
Bankston that A Phi O has two
Negro members, and Bankston
replied, "You've got problems."
Gardner said he asked Banks-ton
if there was "any way" A
Phi O could still use the ball­room,
as the group had contracted
a band for that date.
According to Gardner, Banks-ton
agreed to call James Irvin,
Elks Lodge Exalted Leader.
(Gardner said Bankston refused
to tell him Irvin's name or tele­phone
number-The Plainsman
later obtained the information.)
Irvin's response was that A
Phi O could use the ballroom
only "on the assurance that no
Negroes would be present, ac­cording
to Gardner.
Bankston then told Gardner it
would require unanimous approv­al
from the 625 Elks members for
the Negroes to be admitted.
Bankston was unavailable for
comment, but Irvin told the
Plainsman that no agreement was
made "by any Elk" for A Phi O
to use the ballroom.
He added that Negroes are not
admitted to the Elks Lodge under
any circumstances. Only Elks
and their guests may be admit­ted,
he said.
According to Gardner, under
the original agreement A Phi O
would be sponsored by Dr. Ray­mond
Ritland, the group's advi­ser
and a member of the Elk's
Lodge.
A Phi O has made other plans
to hold its formal in Montgom­ery.

Student condemns
lack of attendance
at Cossack concert
Editor, The Plainsman:
Recently I attended a fantas­tic
display of thrilling songs
and spectacular dancing at Au­burn.
This show was The Cos­sack
Choir and Dancers, put on
at the Memorial Coliseum. Al­though
the production was excel­lent,
I found the audience nau-seating-
justly so because there
was no audience.
The thought of having a grand
group such as the Cossacks,
which has performed before
crowds of many thousands
throughout the world, attracting
only about 100 students out of
some 15,000 is revolting to say
the least. I found this same stu­dent
"interest" when I attended
a fine Beethoven program at
Langdon Hall the week before.
These two instances have
greatly intensified my beliefs
about Auburn, which are: Au
burn's students have failed
by displaying an absurd lack of
intellectual and cultural fulfill
ment due a university, and the
general student population oi
this University is too busy with
it's i nterwoven society of Greek
and hell-raisers to realize it
own deficiencies and degenerate
lack of individualism.
I honestly believe the ultra-conservative,
apathetic children
are well overdue for a change.
Jeff Eaby, 1P1N
Mason concerned
over comment
lacking accuracy
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am constantly concerned
over the problem of persons edi­torializing
in areas in which
they have little or no real back­ground.
In the Nov. 13 issue of The
Plainsman, an editorial pointed
out that "if population levels
off in the near future, it would
result in the greatest portion
being over 50 years of age."
Now let's stop and think about
this for just a minute. If the
average life expectancy is near
70, how in the world could the
median age be 50?
Demographers tell us that
stable population in the Unite
States would result in the estab
lishment of a median age of ap
proximately 37; that is, if the
average life expectancy does not
drasitcally change.
Control of human population
will become generally recognized
as the greatest threat to overall
human welfare within the next
few years. Let's get our facts
straight.

All-Conference players were
in abundance this fall as
the year of the Tiger re­turned
to the Plains.
Five Auburn Tigers were
selected to national or local
All-Star teams after the Ti­gers
finished an outstanding
9-2 season, which includes
a victory over the Ole Miss
Rebels in the Gator Bowl
in Jacksonville, Fl.
Making almost every All-
America team selected this
year was Larry Willingham,
AU defensive halfback. Op­posing
quarterbacks threw
to his side of the field only
29 times and four of those
were picked off by the
speedy senior from Birming­ham.
Willingham also re­turned
two punts for touch­downs,
one in the Tennessee
game and one in the Gator
Bowl, both being turning
points in the games.
Willingham was selected

teams; Look Magazine, Ko­dak,

Pat Sullivan, using the
Gator Bowl as a national
showcase, took a giant
step forward in search of
the 1971 Heisman Trophy,
as he passed and ran the
Auburn Tigers to a 35-28
victory over the Ole Miss
Rebels last Saturday.
Helping Sullivan to amass"
386 yards total offense in
the game were wide, re­ceivers
Terry Beasley and
Alvin Bresler, as both out-battled
defenders for clutch,
grabs. Wallace Clark had
one of his best running
games ever as he ran for
108 yards in 14 carries.
Protecting Sullivan as
he passed and opening wide
holes in the Ole Miss de­fense
for Clark and com­pany,
the offensive line
showed how valuable they
really are in the Tiger's
offensive show.
The return of Bobby Strick­land
to the Auburn defen­sive
corps was noticeable
as he made numerous tac­kles
and caused a fumble
in his day of work. Larry
Willingham, though having
an off day on defense, scored
the winning touchdown on
his record-breaking 55-yard
punt return.
The main cog in the Ole
Miss offensive machinery
was all-star Archie Man­ning.
He was 19 of 28 pas­sing
and also had 95 yards
rushing. It was his twist-
Football picture looks
good for 1971 Tigers
"Wait tillnext year!"
Sound familiar? It should, it is what every Auburn foot­ball
follower is chanting. A few years ago this phrase was
only a consolation to those who had just suffered another
defeat at the hands of the Crimson Tide. Today, though,
this is not a cheer for those who will have to suffer till
we get another shot at Bama, but one of anticipation as
we wait for the 1971 football season.
Coming off an outstanding season in 1970 the Tigers are
marked for greatness next year as they have many first
teamers coming back and an ample supply of able bodies
to move into the places vacated because of graduation.

The Tigers compiled a fabulous 9-2 record this year in­cluding
a Gator Bowl trip and victory over Ole Miss. The
only two blots on the Tiger record were losses to LSU and
and Gerogia and both were on overcast days that made
playing conditions somewhat less than good.
Not taking anything away from the teams that beat us,
LSU and Georgia were fired up football powers that came
to play a agme not to play dead and they beat a very good
Auburn team.
Tennessee, now ranked no. 4 in the nation had a 10-1
season, the one loss being to the Auburn Tigers in Legion
Field on Sept. 26, as the Tigers scrambled from a 10-0
deficit in the first quarter to defeat the Vols, 36-23.
Another indident that bears out the never-say-die spirit
of the Tiger football team is the Bama game and how the
Tigers roared back from 17 behind to defeat the Tiders in
a real cliff hanger.
Although some may feel it a little early to be looking to
next year's season, I cannot help but have optimistic vi­sions
of the team that will have returning, the best pass­ing
dub in the nation as well as a host of juniors and soph­omores
that started or played a good bit during the regular
season.
From the starting 22 in the Gator Bowl the Tigers will
return 13 for the '71 season and a schedule that will fea­ture
six of ten games at friendly Cliff Hare Stadium and
one in Birmingham.
With all this and a little luck one cannot help but play
with the thoughts of an undefeated season and one of the
greatest football years in Auburn history.
Wait till next year? I can't!
Cogers, hot ffcen cold .
Rolling around to the season at hand the roundballers of
AU seem to have a very able team except that they are hot
and cold and haven't managed to get a real surge going
yet, winning one and losing one to compile a 5-6 year so
far.
Tomorrow night the cagers of the Plains face the Ben­gals
of LSU on their home court and even without the ser­vices
of the "Pistol," who has temporarily rented his hands
to the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA, LSU still looks to be a
real test for the Tigers. The Bengals have lost only three
of nine games thus far and have only one conference loss
to marr their SEC chart.
Pacing the Tigers through the beginning has been out-

ing, rambling runs that got
the Rebels on the come­back
trail after being down
21-0 early in the contest.
One of the most exciting
of all the bowls, the game
started as though it would
be a runaway for the Tigers.
Auburn led 21-0 with only
one minute .gone in the
second, but from that point
on it was strickly a bat­tle.
Auburn took the opening
kickoff and moved promptly
to a score with Sullivan
hitting Beasley with a 13-
yard touchdown pass. Gard­ner
Jett.kicked the extra
point to make the score
7-0.
The , Tigers also moved
trie ball well on their se­cond
possession, but this
one ended in controversy
when Sullivan ran around
end from the two yard line
and was stopped short of
the goal, much to the dis­belief
of Auburn players and
fans.
After taking the ball a-way
from the Rebels again,
Auburn marched to a second
score' with 1:06 left' in the
period. Passes to Bresler
and then to Beasley set up
the scoring play, a seven-yard
bullet from Sullivan to
Bresler.
After recovering a fumble,
the Tigers moved to their
21-0 lead. It came in one
big play with Sullivan run­ning
the quarterback draw
to perfection for 37 yards
standing guard John Mengelt, who is 10th in the nation in
scoring and leading the Tigers in that department, having
been the leading or co-leading scorer in all Auburn games
except one.
Leading the Tigers in rebounds is sophomore forward
Jim Retseck of Michigan City, Ind. Not far behind is Al
Leapheart.
Defensively the Tigers have one of the best in Henry
Harris who will, by the way, be around next year as will
Retseck and Leapheart.
Pre-season All-America Mengelt, averaging 29.1 points
per game, seems to be the most valid candidate the Tigers
have had in a long time for the pretigious honor, although
it will be nothing new to the senior guard who was picked
as a high school All-America while in Elwood, Ind.
Also, I dare not forget the NCAA Wrestling Champion­ships
that will be held here in March. This is only the se­cond
NCAA tournament ever to be held in the South, Ten­nessee
having been the other host, catering to the NCAA
Track Meet a few years ago. With the brilliant wrestling
program that Coach Arnold "Swede" Umbach has put to­gether
it wouldn't be surprising to see some of our home­town
matmen in those finals come March.
Last but certainly not least, get well wishes go out to
Coach Ralph "Snug" Jordan who is now home from the hos­pital
and is doing better after his bout with an apendicitis
attack. No doubt last Saturday's game helped him somewhat
on the road to recovery.
and the score. Jettconverted
the extra point.
Archie Manning, Missis­sippi's
great quarterback,
got the Rebels rolling as
he engineered a 10-play,
79-yard drive, scoring him­self
with a one-yard dive.
Jim Poole's conversion made
it 21*7.
The Tigers missed an­other
scoring opportunity
when Clark fumbled (out
of the end zone from the
goal line) for a touchback.
From the 20, Manning made'
the game close as he moved
the Rebels 80 yards with
the score coming on a 34-
yard strike to Franks.
Poole's conversion made
it 21-14 at the half.
The Tigers started the
second half explosively also
as a Sullivan-to-Beasley
bomb of 42 yards was fol­lowed
shortly by Mickey
Zofko's six-yard spurt up the
middle for the fourth Tigqr
touchdown. Jett's conver­sion
made it 28-14.
Manning came right back,
however, in a beautiful 42-
yard gallop, leading the Reb­els
to the Tiger 23-yard
line. Here he was replaced
by Shug Chumbler, who
proved to be no slouch," as
he promptly passed those 23
yards to Jim Poole to make
the score 28-21.
Auburn's final score came
with just seconds left in
the third quarter. Willingham
gathered in an Ole Miss punt
at his 45, weaved his way
through the initial front line,
and dove into the end zone
for the final Tiger score.
Ole Miss mostly used
Chumbler on its final scor­ing
drive. He passed twice
to end Vernon Studdard,
then sneaked over from the
one to give the Rebels their
last score.
The victory marked the
end of the TV jinx for the
Tigers. It was their first
win on the tube since the
Sun Bowl in 1968 with four
consecutive losses in be­tween.
The win was Auburn's
ninth of the season against
two losses, placing the Ti­gers
10th on the final AP
poll.

The Auburn Tigers face the Tigers of LSU in basketball

their third conference game and stop the sloppy play that has
plagued them thus far this season.

DAVIS ACCEPTS GATOR BOWL TROPHY.
Jordan's stand-in proved worthy.
Auburn comes into the.
game fresh from a 79-58
thrashing of the Georgia
Bulldogs last Monday night,
when All-American John
Mengelt tossed in a game
high 40 points.
LSU comes to Auburn af­ter
suffering their first con­ference
defeat of the sea­son
against Alabama last
Monday. Previously, the
Bengal Tigers had won six
and lost two.
LSU is led by forward Al
"Apple" Sanders and center
Bill Newton. These two
make the Tigers a big test
for Auburn, despite the fact
that Pete Maravich is no
longer at LSU.
Auburn's iseason to this
point has been a bit of a
disappointment as they have
won only five of their 11
contests. The Tigers have
scored wins over Louisiana
Tech, North Carolina State,
Mississippi State, Xavier of
Ohio and Georgia. Losses
have been suffered at the
hands of South Carolina, the
nation's number two team,
Mississippi, Georgia Tech,
Houston, Old Dominion and
Florida.
Two of the most pleasant
aspects of the season have
been the performances of
Mengelt and sophomore for­ward
Jim Retseck. Mengelt
is ninth in the nation in
scoring with his 29.1 points-per-
game average. Retseck
is the team's second lead­ing
scorer at 13.8 points
per game and is the best re-bounder,
grabbing 11.9 car­oms
in each contest.
Another spot that has
drawn the praise of Coach
Bill Lynn has been the bril­liant
playing of guard-forward
Henry Harris. Harris has
held three of his opponents
scoreless this season while
limiting five others to less
than ten. This has been in
addition to his 12.8 points
per game.
Other starters tomorrow
night are center Al "Leaper"
Leapheart and guard Jimmy
Walker, the captain of the
team. Leapheart is averag­ing
9.9 points a game and
Walker is contributing three
per contest.
Prior to their victory over
the Bulldogs, the Tigers
had faced three conference
foes. The first of these was
the Ole Miss t i c ^ . . led by
the new scoring sensation of
the SEC, Johnny Neuman.
Neuman had only ten in the
first half against Auburn,
but poured in 29 in the sec­ond
half as the Rebs went on
to defeat the Tigers 108-96.
The second conference op­ponent
was Mississippi State
ponent was Mississippi
State. In that game, Mengelt
was held to his lowest pro­duction
of the year but Ret­seck
took up the slack with
23 points and the Tigers
went on to win 73-70.
Probably the most disap­pointing
game of the year for
the roundballers was the
Florida game played in
Gainesville. The Gators had
won only two games and
were not considered to be
as good a team as Auburn.
But a tight Gator defense
coupled with some timely
foul shooting ended in a
66-60 Gator win.
After the game with LSU
tomorrow night,' the Tigers
will face Alabama Monday,
night. Both contests start
at 8 p.m., with the freshman
games starting at 5:45.
"The best backup quarter­back
in the SEC "-Auburn's
Tommy Traylor doesn't ex­actly
relish that title, but,
"if I've got to be a backup
man, I want to backup the
best, and that's Pat Sul­livan."
Sullivan, of course, is
Auburn's All-America quar­terback.
A lesser quarter­back
than Traylor might
have become lost in Sulli­van's
shadow, but not Tray­lor.
When Traylor goes in
for Sullivan, Auburn's high
powered offense just chang­es
gear and goes right on.
Rather than Sullivan's dead­ly
drop back passing, Tray­lor
utilized wide sweeps
and options.
Traylor has the statistics
to prove he is one of the
SEC's best quarterbacks.
The 5 ft. 11 in. 180 lb. Mont­gomery
native scored five
touchdowns rushing in 1969
and completed 10 or 18 pas­ses
with none intercepted.
Besides Archie Manning of
Ole Miss and Sullivan, Tray­lor
was the only other SEC
quarterback to rush for more
than than 200 yards.
Auburn will- probably
best remember Traylor for
his tie-breaking touchdown
in the 1968 Sun Bowl Game.
Auburn's offense had bogged
down and the score was
tied, 10-10. Traylor entered
the game and proceeded to
gain 20 of the 27 yards on a
TD drive that put Auburn
ahead to stay 17-10. The
Tigers beat Arizona, 34-10.
On his first collegiate
passing attempt, Traylor
served notice that he was
no ordinary quarterback. ;He
completed that first attempt
from Auburn's end zone for
35 yards, and the Tigers
drove on to a touchdown.
Pat Sullivan is one of
Traylor's biggest support­ers.
"Tommy's always been
a great help to me. When I
was a sophomore and run­ning
behind him, Tommy was
always giving me tips and
pointing out things I need­ed
to know. He's always
giving his best for the team,
and that's the kind of at­titude
we have on this foot­ball
team."

AU reaps bumper crop
of hiah school seniors
Roaming from one end of
the South to the other, the
Auburn football scouts seem
to have recruited one of the
best crops of new athletes
in AU grid history.
Dan Nugent, a 6-5 245
pound tight end from Pom-pano
Beach, Florida and
one of seven "blue chip"
athletes to come out of the
state of Florida, is the most
recent addition to an all-star
cast that includes ten
linemen over the POO pound
mark. Nugent was an out­standing
tight end at Pora-pano
Beach Senior wiHigh
School and made the AP
first team All-State team
in Florida. This is the
only team of its nature
announced so far in Flori­da.
Pat Jones from Jackson,
Tennessee, an outstanding
linebacker, made both the
All-State and All-Mid-South
teams in that area. He was
also chosen the outstanding
tackier on the All-Mid-South
team. In addition to being
a prime football prospect
Jones is also the Tennessee
Golden Gloves light heavy­weight
champion, as he has
been for the past two years.
Another of the "blue
chip" players from Florida
Joe Bruner, a quarterback
from Ft. Walton Beach, is
rated one of the top college
prospects in that state.
Moving into Alabama, Au­burn
has recruited a bumper
crop of athletes including
one of the most sought after
quarterbacks in the state,
Butch Moore of Minor. Moore
carried his team to the fi­nals
in the state 4A play­offs.
Lee Gross of Robert E.

Comeback was the name
of the game as the Auburn
Tigers struck again and a-gain
to pull victory from the
grasp of Alabama.
Trailing 17-0 at the end
of the first quarter, the Ti­gers
struck again and again
gers managed to pull to with­in
seven points at the break.
Keith Green intercepted
one Bama pass at the 44
yard line and Sullivan push­ed
the Tigers to a score
with passes to Harry Unger
and Dick Schmalz and Wal­lace
Clark and Mickey Zof-ko
contributed short runs.
Sullivan scored from the
one.
After a Ronnie Ross inter­ception
stopped a Tide
drive at the Tiger five yard
line, Beasley, just coming
back from a first quarter
injury that forced him to
have to be carried from the
field, teamed up with Sul­livan
on passes of 11, 17,
11, and 12 yards and Bres-ler
ran once for 23 yards
to set up a 26 yard Gardner
Jett field goal.
The Tigers tied it by the
end of the third quarter at
17-17 and this set the stage
for one of the biggest fourth
quarter "shoot outs" in
Auburn-Alabama history.
The last round was not one
for the weak hearts as the
lead changed hands four
times in 15 minutes.
The Tiders from Tusca­loosa
pulled out front with
a field goal by Richard Cim-ney,
only to be tied again
as Gardner Jett hit on a 37
yarder of his own to keep
Auburn hopes alive.
The Tigers went ahead
for the first time in the
game in the last half of the
fourth quarter as Sullivan
hit Robby Robinett for the
score and Gardener Jett
moved the Tigers out by
seven.
Not being one to be out­done,
Scott Hunter pushed
the Bama boys to a score.
Sneering at a tie the Crim­son
Tide lined up for two
and when the dust had clear­ed
David Bailey had it for
the go ahead points.
But the Tigers had come
too far to be roughed up by
just one point. Sullivan
came back to steal all the
glory as he moved the Ti­gers
61 yards in pnly four
plays as he connected on
two passes to Alvin Bres-ler
and Mickey Zofko to
move the "Big Blue Ma­chine"
in for the final and
winning score.
The two point conversion
failed but it didn't matter
because the Tigers had all
they needed. Two inter­ceptions
by Dave Beck and
Johnny Simmons halted later
Bama drives and preserved
the Tiger win.
The Tiger team set re­cords
that would take two
pages to list, but two that
were the most significant
are Sullivan's total offense
record of 285.6 yards per
game and his record for
most yards per play, 8.9.
Finishing the regular sea­son
with an 8-2 record, the
Tigers accepted a Gator

Miss Rebels.

A fired up Beta Theta Pi
squad charged to a quick
6-0 lead on a Ronnie Cas-pers
touchdown and rode the
battling Theta Chis to a
20-6 victory and the fratern­ity
football championship to
climax the fallintramurals.
The smooth Betas handily
whipped Lambda Chi in the
first playoff game 14-6 and
gained a shot at the cham­pionship
with a 20-6 win
over ATO.
Theta Chi gained their
final bid after an exciting
19-13 game with OTS and a
close 6-0 battle over a quick
TKE team.
Probably the most excit­ing
play of the BTP-TC game
was a fake punt in the sec­ond
half, when Lloyd Brooks
startled the defensive sec­ondary
with a beautiful 50-
yard aerial to Skip Caldwell
for the second Beta score.
Theta Chi managed their
lone score in the second
half minutes before Caldwell
scored once more on a div­ing
pass into the end zone.
Beta's win assured them
a third place position in the
all -sports trophy race .
The leader for the trophy
is LCA with 365 points, fol­lowed
closely by ATO with
350 points.
Others in the top 10 fra-t

Tiger mat men in NC meet
After road trips to Baton
Rouge and Miami, Coach Ar­nold
Umbach's wrestling
Tigers are headed to Blacks-burg,
Va., for a four-way
match tomorrow against VPI,
Harvard and North Carolina
State.
Umbach's wrestlers ac­cumulated
a 1-1 record at
the end of fall quarter with
a perfect wrestling score
of 50-0 over Southwestern
Louisiana, and dropped a
close one the next night to
defending SEC champion,
LSU, 10-17.
In tomorrow's meet in
Blacksburg, the Tigers have
a slight advantage over
VPI and NC State, beating
NC State two years ago in
Blacksburg and taking a
25-11 victory over the Gob­blers
last year in Auburn.
However, Auburn has never
beaten the Gobblers in
Blacksburg.
This will be the first
meeting of Auburn and Har­vard.
Jeff Bainbridge, in the
158 pound class and Larry
Horrell, at 190 will be the
strongest competitors on the
VPI squad, although they
will be facing Tom Holliday
and George Calloway, two
pf the best from Auburn.
I
Co-captain Holliday has
not appeared on the mat for
Auburn so far this year due
to an ankle injury suffered
last season but he is slat­ed

BOB HAUN
134 lb. class
on this weekend's trip.
Calloway is a freshman
with a remarkable high
school record of 60 straight
wins and three Alabama
state championships back­ing
him. So far Calloway
is 2-0 in dual meet compe­tition
at Auburn.
As the football Tigers
were leaving for Florida
and the Gator Bowl last
week, the wrestlers were
returning from Miami with a
fourth place finish in the
Sunshine National Open
Tournament which featured
21 colleges and three na­tions.
An outstanding freshman,
Bob Haun, placed second
in the 134 class, one of the
best finishes by any south­ern
wrestler in the tourney.
By progressing to the
finals, Haun had the op­portunity
to wrestle in the
main dining room of the
Viking Restuarant in Hol­lywood,
Florida before a
capacity crowd of dining
wrestling fans.
Another outstanding fresh­man
is Al Thompson from
Orange, California, who
finished third in the classic
and extended his Auburn
record to 9-1. His victories
include a first place finish
at the Georgia Tech Invi­tational
Tournament before
Christmas and a 2-0 record
in dual meet competition.
In the Tech Invitational,
Mike Roberts showed signs
of* improvement over a re­markable
1970 season, de­feating
two old rivals who
beat him consistently last
year. Jim. Bodie, of LSU,
who beat Roberts twice last
year, fell to the 167 pound
Tiger 13-2 in the semi-fi­nals
while Steve Dildine
suffered a 8-1 defeat from
Roberts in the finals.
Haun placed second in the
TOM HOLLIDAY
158 lb. class
Tech Tournament, as did
Steve Brown, Auburn's only
returning SEC Champion.
Joe Russo, a powerful fresh­man
in the 150 pound class
finished third in the tourna­ment
along with Co-cap­tain
Luther Killian.
Other placers in the Sun­shine
tournament were Greg
West at 118 and Thompson
with third places, and Jim
Voss at 126, Roberts, and
Brown taking fourths.

ACOIA ends after 12 years-new Horizons loom
Since the first annual Auburn Conference On Interna­tional
Affairs (ACOIA) was held in 1958, Auburn student
government has struggled against a seeming multiplicity
of problems in the attempt to bring outstanding lecturers
to campus to speak about world affairs.
The Auburn student body, however, has shown that it
has very little interest in attending lectures about world
affairs.
FOCUS SHIFTS
As a result, Anthony Copeland has announced the death
of ACOIA and is introducing Horizons Symposium. (See
Plainsman Perspective, p. 3.) By shifting the focus of
Horizons from world affairs to contemporary national
topics and by scheduling Horizons events over a period
of four months rather than a few days, Copeland hopes to
overcome student disinterest.
In addition to lack of student interest, ACOIA has had
other problems: in acquiring adequate funds, in forming
long-range plans, and in preventing ambitious campus
politicians from using their Conference activities to fur­ther
their political careers.
However, since its inception ACOIA has drawn consis­tent
praise. As the Conference summation speaker said
in 1966, "The. unique feature of this Conference, I be­lieve,
is that it is the only one in my experience which
is organized and staged entirely by student leaders."
ACOIA was founded in the 1957-58 school year by two
Auburn students who were impressed with a Student Con­ference
on National Affairs held by Texas A and M.
The Student Senate took on the project "to arouse stu­dent
interest in international affairs and to urge student
awareness of the present and future roles which the U.S.
will assume as a vital leader of the world."
Later, an SGA committee was formed to handle the Con­ference.
Until 1966, delegates from other colleges in the south­east
were invited to attend the Conference. The practice'
was discontinued because of poor response.
The first ACOIA was held March 27-28. 1958. Three
speakers, including Sen. John Sparkman spoke on world
problems-there was no Conference theme.
The next year, the Conference was built on the theme
"Western Europe-Key to Foreign Policy?" and featured
four speakers.
In 1960, the conference was lengthened to three days,
and there were five lecturers on Asian nationalism.
The 1961 ACOIA, about Mexico and the Caribbean, fea­tured
five lecturers, representing journalists, professors
and governmental officials, and was attended by dele­gates
from other colleges and Auburn students-this was
the ACOIA tradition as it had evolved after four years.
The 1961 Conference was declared a success, as it had
been each year, but beyond the usual commendations re­cognizing
the hard-working ACOIA committee, the ex­cellence
of the lecturers, and the appropriateness of the
topic, something was wrong.
LACK OF INTEREST
Just before the 1962 ACOIA opened, a Plainsman writer
speculated on its potential for success.. Of the previous
conferences, he said, "ACOIA, the brainchild of the Stu­dent
Senate, has failed to arouse any considerable in­terest
among students and faculty in these five years,
partially because of a lack of outstanding speakers. At

COPELAND PLANS NEW MOVE
Horizons chairman hopes to increase student interest
Consumer protector Ralph M
tackles variety of issues
i i 'J
RALPH NADER, THE
crusading protector of the
American consumer, is the
"U.S.'s toughest customer,"
according to Time Maga­zine.
The outspoken advocate of
auto safety legislation and
consumer protection first
made headlines in 1965 when
his book "Unsafe at Any
Speed" was published. The
book censored Detroit for
producing unsafe vehicles.
"We've had the technolo­gical
and economic capa­bilities
to build safer cars
for decades which have not
been used anywhere near
their potential," says Na­der.
Since the publication of
his book, he has taken on
the issues of unsafe cars,
unsafe trucks, faulty meat
inspection practices, over-fatted
hot dogs, and the
impurities in some food ad­ditives.
Nader has been respon­sible
for at least six major
federal consumer ^protection
laws, the elimination of
monosodium glutamate from
baby foods, the cessation of
production of General Mo­tors'
Corvair, and for other
advances in the areas of
safety, sanitation, pollu­tion
control and advertising
credibility.
He was graduated Phi
Beta Kappa from Princeton
University in 1955 and re­ceived
his law degree from
Harvard in 1958.
The 36-year-old attorney,
whose parents came to the
United States from Lebanon,
first became interested in
automotive safety while an
undergraduate, and wrote
several articles for the
Harvard Law School news­paper,
one of which was
later expanded to form the
basis of his book.
Believing that "pollution
of the environment reaches
the most contemptous depths
of industrial depravity,"
Nader is also concerned
with' environmental hazards.
*'*£*Ihaitt^i8 -something -
fundamentally wrong when
the same government that
allocated $200 million to
subsidize supersonic flights
metes out only $46 million
to protect the health of the'
nation," he says. "It is
a great folly not to allocate
resources and money to
combat pollution of air,
water and soil."
Unmarried, living in an
$80-a-month flat and owning
no car, Nader says he works
in his one-room Washington
for up to sixteen to twenty
hours a day. He has spear­headed
detailed reports on
such agencies as the Fede­ral
Trade Commission and
the Interstate Commerce
Commission, plus studies
of the National Air Pollu­tion
Control Administration
and the role of corporate
responsibility in American
society.

Black 6a. legislator to speak
HORACE JULIAN BOND
is, according to an article
in the April 6, 1970, issue
of Time magazine, "a mili­tant
activist, but not a re­volutionary"
representing
"those blacks seeking to
influence the nation through
the existing governmental
system."
Bond, 30, was one of eight
blacks to be elected to the
Georgia House of Represen­tatives
in 1965. They were
the first since Reconstruc­tion
to serve. Members of
the legislature voted. 184 to
12 not to seat Bond because
they objected to his state­ments
against the Vietnam
war.
Bond won a second elec­tion
in February, 1966, held
to fill his vacant seat, but
a special House committee
again voted to bar him from
membership in the legisla­ture.
In November, 1966, he
won a third election for the
seat and was finally admit­ted
to the House in January,
1967, after the United States
Supreme Court ruled that
the Georgia House had
wrongly refused to seat him.
In 1968, Bond became the
first black to be nominated
for the vice-presidency of
the United States at a na­tional
party convention. He
was nominated at the De­mocratic
National Conven­tion
in Chicago but with­drew
because he was too
young to qualify.
In the April interview with
Time correspondent Wallace
Terry, Bond presented a four-point
plan for achieving
black goals in the next 10
years. Termination of the
Vietnam war topped the list.
Bond was "pessimistic"
in his forecast for. the next
decade, predicting an even
greater gap between white
and black levels of income
and "incidents of terror
from the black community."
Slum housing may disap­pear,
Bond noted, making:
poverty "easier to ignore
because it won't be an eye­sore."
The descendant of an
emancipated slave and her
former owner, Bond is a
native of Nashville, Ten­nessee.
He entered More­house
College in Atlanta
in 1957 and was a founder
of the Committee on Appeal
for Human Rights (COAHR),
the Atlanta University Cen­ter
student organization
which co-ordinated student
anti-segregation protests in
Atlanta for three years.
In January, 1961, Bond
left Morehouse to join the
Student Nonviolent Co-or­dinating
Committee (SNCC)
as communications director,
a position he held until
1966.

THE DECLINE OF Holly­wood
filmmaking has created
a new hope among amateur
filmmakers that discovery
and artistic acceptance are
alive and well without the
help of big budgets and big
stars.
"Genesis II," a feature
of the Horizons Symposium,
is an anthology of works by
just such filmmakers, all
students. The 15 films are
released by Genesis Films,
Ltd., a subsidiary of Film-ways,
which provides both
exposure and financial help
for young filmmakers.
the program is a culling
of campus productions rang-from
quick single-gag animat­ed
cartoons like "Bambi
Meets Godzilla" by Marvin
Newland and "Herman" by
Vic Grady to sensitively
photographed one-man dramas
like Peter Jensen's "Eat­ing
Cake," a compassionate
look at the lonely rituals
Of an old man as he mixes,
,- bakes, and eats a cake.
The collection begins
with "Introduction," by
Burton Gerthfield, Patrick
O'Neill, Bruce Lane and
Neon Park. The two-and-a-
half minute short uses
"optical phrasing, hand-wrought
animation, Persian
travelling mattes, Bob
Beck's analogue computer
images, and electronically
irrigated music." The group
is also responsible for the
final feature, "Conclusion."
"Neither fiction nor doc­umentary,
Free Gratis Bas­tard
is a kind of personal
ethnography . . . an assess­ment/
interpretation of a
'lifeway.' This is a moral
picture, exposing the veri­ties
of the western heart."
So John Gunderson des­cribes
his film, a portrait
of a Nevadan truckdriver/
cowboy which moves freely
across time and place, try­ing
to capture the emotional
structure of a man's life
rather than t he physical.

TEN YEARS AGO, Ar­thur
C. Clarke made a bet
that the first man to land
on the, moon would do so
by June 1969.
He won the bet, and the
actual landing was, for
Clarke, the fulfillment, of a
lifetime of dreaming and
prophesying.
Inventor of the communi­cations
satellite and co­author
of the book and film
"2001: A Spaoe Odyssey,"
Arthur Clarke is one of the
truly prophetic figures of
the space age.
Born in England in 1917,
Clarke has distinguished
himself in the area of science
as well as science fiction.
He is the author of 40 books
both fiction and non fic­tion,
10 million copies of
which have been printed in
some 30 languages.
His articles have been
published widely including
such periodicals as Read­er's
Digest, Holiday, Play­boy,
Look, and The New
York Times Magazine. His
latest book is "The Promise
of Space" written in 1968.
He is now writing the pre­face
and epilogue to the
astronauts' own book of the
Apollo mission.
A graduate of King's Col­lege,
London, with First
Class Honors in Physics
and Mathematics, Clarke is
past chairman of the British
Interplanetary Society and a
member of the Academy of
^Astronautics and the Royal
Astronomical Society.
He. was awarded the
Franklin Institute's Gold
Medal in 1963 for having
originated the communica­tions
satellite in a techni­cal
paper published in 1945
and was awarded the
UNESCO Kalinga Prize for
science writing.
He also won two Aviation/
Space Writers Association
awards in 1965 for his Life
article on the history and
future of communications
satellites, and shared an
Oscar nomination with Stan­ley
Kubrick in 1969 for the
screen-play of "2001: A
Space Odyssey."
In addition to "2001:,"
which was inspired by one
of his short stories "The
Sentinel," Clark also wrote,
with the editors of Life,
"Man andSpace" in 1964.
His non-fiction works
began to be published in the
early 1950's, and revised
editions have appeared with
regularity. The titles of
these books include: "In­terplanetary
Flight," "The
Exploration of Space,"
"Going Into Space," "The
Making of a Moon," "The
Challenge of the Space­ship,"
"The Challenge of
Arthur Clarke
the Sea," "Profiles of the
Future," and "Voices from
the Sky."
He has also written several
successful science fiction
books.
The mysteries of the
sea, however, fascinate
Clarke as much as those
of outer space. Since the
early 1950's he has been
exploring the deeps of Aus­tralia
and Ceylon with his
partner in skin diving, Mike
Wilson, a film producer and
underwater photographer.
An underwater expedition
by Clarke and Wilson to the
Great Barrier Reef of Aus­tralia
in 1954 and 1955 was
chronicled by Clarke in "The
Coast of Coral," with pho­tographs
by Wilson.
Underwater adventure
around"Oeyir3!Hvas the sub­ject
of "The Reefs of Ta-probane."
His interest in
the sea was also reflected
in "Voice Across the Sea."
With Mike Wilson, Clarke
wrote "The Treasure of the
Great Reef" about the suc­cessful
'expedition under­taken
in 1963 by Clarke,
Wilson, and others in search
of a sunkeh, ship in the
Great Basses Reef of Cey­lon,
where they discovered
a ton of silver coins.
Other collaborations be­tween
Clarke and Wilson
were the juvenile nonfiction
books "The First Five Fa­thoms,"
"Boy Beneath the
Sea," "Indial Ocean Ad­venture"
and "Indian Ocean
Treasure."
animation to create a cartoon
centering on a hero and
heroine against a villian
and his monstrous sidekick.
Another film, "Project I,"
which according to film­maker
David Lourie, "pre­sents
moods and emotional
associations surrounding
the Oedipus Theme," uses
tinted negatives, slow mo­tion,
double exposures, skip-frame
cutting of nudes and
flowing hair to baroque and
rock music.
"E Pluribus Unum" is
an abstracted nightmare of
institutions, a lovely girl,
sex and an escape into the
desert which the maker, Alan
Jacobson, says is about "the
emasculation of man by
modern woman."
"Demonstration Movie
I," in which someone shows
how to cope with a folding
chair, is a spoof on the
excesses of training films.
Equally in excess, its crea­tor
Ron Finne promises that
"when sincerely followed,
this film will bring un­dreamed-
of success in
sexual relationships and
occupational careers."
"The Tempest," shot in
East Washington and con­structed
in Seattle by Ro­bert
Brown and Frank Gi­vey,
uses optically printed
color, multiple printing, and
overlap picture, and attempts
to structure visual imagery
to a musical notation, a-chieving
a flowing, plastic
form.
Brown and Olvey use the
movements of horses as their
subject and drench the
the screen in gradations and
contrasts of color.
Colin Higgins' "Retreat"
is an introverted movie in
which a young Vietnam ve­teran,
wandering through a
Lake Tahoe wood, tries to
come to terms with himself
and his own capacity for
violence and destruction.
"Tomo," from UCLA's
Alvin Tokunow, is built
around slow motion and high
contrast. The film achieves
a dreamlike quality with the
polarization of black-and-white
film as the camera
follows Tomo, a pre-teenage
boy, through the choreogra­phy
of movement displayed
in a judo class.
"Vicious Cycles," a
stop-motion animation of
live action by David Brian,
Len Jackson and Chuck Men-ville,
involves a story of
confrontation between two-wheel
cults and centers
around a girl hitchhiker.
In addition to providing
exposure and finances to
young filmmakers, Genesis
representatives say they
are anxious to meet new
filmmakers and screen new
films. The group encourages
students wherever the Gen­esis
programs are screened
to contact them if they would
like to contribute to future
productions.
Genesis stresses the ex­hibition
of these films as
a creative ait form, rather
than as pure entertainment.

ACOIA
(continued from page 1)
the conception of the program, the faculty was enthusias­tic
about the success of the venture. Because of a lack
of funds and the small degree of student interest, how­ever,
this enthusiasm has rapidly diminished."
To help remedy the situation, Jeff Beard, of the Auburn
Athletic Department, granted ACOIA use of the funds
from sale of tickets to the Auburn-Alabama freshman foot­ball
game-some $2,000.
GROWING PAINS
ACOIA was maturing, but it still manifested growing
pains. (In 1962, activities of the Faculty Square Dance
Club conflicted directly with one of the major speeches.)
In 1963, ACOIA was cancelled by the Student Senate
because of "inadequate financial support."
But it was back in 1964 with a budget of $4,300, five
nationally known lecturers, and an ambitious topic, "Fo­reign
Aid." Drew Pearson, nationally syndicated colum­nist,
drew the first overflow: crowd ACOIA had known-
1700 persons-at the Union Ballroom.
ATTENDANCE PROBLEM
But attendance was still a problem. The Plainsman
commented, "Conference attendance was good. It did
not, however, meet the standards one might expect from
a program of such high calibre. We feel that next year's
committee should make every effort to constantly urge
students and faculty to attend."
The 1965 ACOIA continued the trend to nationally
known speakers-the Catholic doctor who helped develop
the birth control pill spoke under the conference topic
"Poverty and the Population Explosion."
OVERFLOW CROWDS
In 1966, overflow crowds at the eighth ACOIA-"Sub-version
in the Sixties"-prompted the decision in 1967 to
move the Conference to the Student Activities Building,
when Admiral Thomas Moorer and U.S. Rep. Armistead
Seldon talked in 1967 about "The U.S. and its World Al­liances."
But what in the Union Ballroom had been an overflow
crowd was swallowed in the Student Act. Only 200 per­sons
attended the final speech by Dr. Richard Gardner,
an advisor to U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Ar­thur
Goldberg.
STUDY DAY ADDED
The next year, 1968, brought the addition of Study Day
before the Conference which featured local speakers in an
attempt to familiarize students with the topic, "The In­ternational
Year for Human Rights."
In 1969, ACOIA was held during spring quarter,
aggravating the attendance problem. Though the topic was
national, not international, the speakers were well known
(Connecticut Senator Abraham Ribicoff and journalists
Robert Goralski and James J. Kilpatrick were included)
and dean's excuses were available, students were lured
from lectures on "The Urban Crisis" into the bright
sunshine.
FINAL ACOIA
Last year, the twelfth and final ACOIA scattered the
speakers over a two-week period from Feb. 20 to March 6.
(The conference was moved back to winter quarter.) Big-name
speakers included Robert Finch, then Secretary of
Health, Education and Welfare; Allard Lowenstein, New
York Congressman; Arthur Schlesinger, former adviser to
President Kennedy; and Dr. Charles Hamilton, urban stud­ies
professor at Columbia University.
The topic, "Communications" was a wide one, but
there were few references to international problems.
With a new format, Horizons Symposium hopes to solve
the problems which were inherent in ACOIA-poor atten­dance
will be countered with speakers who have more
"student appeal;" only one session will conflict with
classes while the rest will be held in the evening; events
will be spread over a period of four months so that sched­uling
problems will be minimized.
Will Horizons succeed where ACOIA failed?
Dean of Student Affairs James E. Foy said the basic
problem of ACOIA-getting students to attend extracur­ricular
lectures-will be carried over to Horizons.
Horizons Chairman Copeland wants to bring the Sym­posium
topics closer to the interests of students. A bud­get
of $13000 is invested in his attempt. Only Auburn stu­dents
can make it pay off.
Young college pres. to discuss future of education
By Scott Greenhill
Plainsman News Editor
"IT'S VERY DIFFICULT to be on the
other side of the fence-and there always
is a fence. My goal is to make the fence
lower."
So says Leon Botstein, 24-year-old presi­dent
of Franconia College, a small, experi­mental
college in the White Mountains of
New Hampshire.
Botstein passed without intermission
from college student to college president,
coming straight from graduate school at
Harvard.
Anthony Copeland, Symposium chairman
said, "We want to get the speakers on the
same level as the students. We wanted to
give people an idea of what it's going to be
like when they send their kids to school 20
years from now. That's why we chose Bot­stein."
He will speak on the future of the edu­cational
system.
Botstein's first contact with Franconia
College, which has given its students a
major voice in charting their studies ever
since it opened in 1963, was last April. His
brother-in-law was a drama student
there, and Botstein and his wife went to
him perform.
Botstein found himself engrossed in con­versation
with college officials. A few
weeks later a letter arrived suggesting he
apply for the $16,000-a-year post of presi­dent.
Botstein was chosen from a field of 16
other candidates. A search committee of
students, faculty and trustees interviewed
him and recommended his appointment,
which the board approved.
"Certainly, there will be no generation
gap," Botstein said after his appointment
was announced June 25. "With only 250
students in the college, I should get to
know each one personally."
Franconia is not fully accredited and is
financially in the red. Students freely trans­fer
in and out of the college. Although the
school was changed from a junior college
to a four-year institution in 1965, it has
still granted only 25 bachelor's degrees.
Since scholarship funds are limited, the
annual cost of $3,800 discourages all but
the well-to-do.
In addition to these problems, Botstein
must overcome the difficulties of his age.
He is younger than most of his faculty and
some of his students as well.
Botstein's plans for the future include a
more structured but still innovative ap­proach
to Franconia. "Franconia will oper­ate
on the principle that learning means
finding out for one's self, discovering one's
own abilities and potential, developing
one's own sense of relationship to and re­sponsibility
for society," said Botstein
shortly after his appointment.
Botstein graduated from the High School
of Music and Art in 1963, and then received
his B.A. with special honors in history at
the University of Chicago in 1967. He was.
granted a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship and a
Danforth Foundation Fellowship for gradu­ate
study leading to college teaching.
He did his graduate work in social his­tory
at Harvard, received the M.A. from Har­vard
in 1968 and in 1969 completed his
oral examinations for the Ph.D.
Botstein was a teaching fellow at Har­vard
in 1968-1969 and a lecturer at Boston
University.
In September of 1969 Botstein became
special assistant to the president of the
Board of Education under a New York City
Urban Fellowship sponsored by the Sloan
Foundation.
Botstein is a trained musician. He has
studied the violin and viola, played viola
at the Berkshire Music Festival and was
concert master of the University of Chicago
Orchestra-
He has also served as assistant con­ductor
of the University of Chicago Orches­tra
andtheHarvard-Radcliffe Orchestra, and
he founded and conducted the University
Chamber Orchestra in Chicago and the
Boston Medical Chamber Orchestra.

and Dorothy Pitman, foun­der
of a nationally recog­nized
community day care
center in New York City,
will discuss the movement
"in light of women's many
roles in history."
Although, according to
Miss Steinem, "black re­porters
are supposed to
write about black people,
and women to write about
women," she now writes a
column, "The City Politic," •
for New York magazine,
dealing primarily with poli­tics
and urban affairs.
Her articles on politics,
urban problems, current life

20th century sociology have
appeared in such magazines
as McCall's, Glamour, Life,

ASCAP to recruit
new writing talent
The American Society of
Composers, Authors and Pub­lishers
(ASCAP) has set up
a new class of Associate
Membership as part of its
mounting drive to recruit
new writing talent.
ASCAP, the nation's only
performing rights organiza­tion
which is controlled
by creators and their pub­lishers,
is already the home
of such major contemporary
music figures as Bob Dy­lan,
Jim Webb, Burt Bacha-rach
and The Doors.
The Associate Member­ship
which the Society is
now offering is available
to the author or composer of
a copyrighted song, even
though the song has not yet
been commercially recorded
or published.
An associate member will
pay no dues to the Society,
but after one work has been
commercially recorded or
published he can switch to
full membership in ASCAP
and will then pay dues of
$10 a year.
Music writers in all fields-rock,
pop, soul, symphony,
theatre, TV, folk, jazz,
country, gospel, opera, film-may
obtain application forms
and full information on the
Society by writing to the
ASCAP Membership Depart­ment
in New York (575 Madi­son
Avenue,New York, N.Y.
10022), Nashville (700 17th
Avenue South, Nashville,
Tennessee 37203) or Los
Angeles (6430 Sunset Boule­vard,

A magna cum laude gradu­ate
of Smith College, Miss
Steinem was awarded a
Chester Bowles Asian Fel­lowship
for a year's study
in India.
She is now preparing an
anthology of current and
historical readings on the
women's liberation move­ment.
"The important thing to
remember," she says, "is
that women's liberation is
men's liberation, too. Free
of 19th-century roles, we
can share a better life that
goes far beyond the kitchen
and the bedroom."
Mrs. Pitman is presently
serving on the bay Care
Task Force appointed by
Mayor John Lindsay and was
asked by the legislature of
New York State to help
write new laws concerning
day care.
After her graduation from
high school in the rural
south Georgia town of Lump­kin,
Mrs. Pitman came to
New York where she found
work as a domestic.
Eight years later, her job
experiences included running
a laundry out of her own
kitchen, singing, running a
night club, organizing for
CORE (the National Con­gress
of Racial Equality),
fund-raising for Tent City
in Mississippi and working
for the Gallup poll.
In 1966, Mrs. Pitman, a
working mother herself, con­fronted
neighborhood women
with the idea of a day care
center. Working with both
black welfare mothers and
middle-class office workers,
she founded the West 80th
Street Community Day Care
Center, unique in its efforts:
to be less "custodial" and
more educational. Gloria Steinem -. Joti

Exercise class keeps fit
Look and feel better in
ten days or your thirty min­utes
back!
Such is the guarantee of
P.E. Anonymous, a group
dynamics experience in phy­sical
'exertion' every Monday
through Friday, from 5:15
p.m. to 5:45 p.m., in the
Wrestling Room of Auburn's
Memorial Coliseum.
P.E. Anonymous is a het­erogenous
group of from 30-
100 housewives, secretaries,
busy executives, staff and
faculty-old,' young, male,
female, fat, skinny, short,
tall, some are muscle bound,
some not so.
But for 30 minutes, they
have one thing in common:
the symetrical development
of their bodies accompanied
by music. And, more impor­tantly,
the improvement of
cardio vascular fitness.
Costumed appropriately,
names are a rarity. There's
no breath for conversation.
But there are testimonials:
"I thought I could do it
by myself, but I can't."
"I want to tell others about
it, but they look at me as
if I were a kook.''
"It gives me a feeling of
security,"
"I feel terrific! Man, I
feel just terrific," says Al
Martincic, following his
hundredth push-up. He has
just finished 100 sit-ups,
his Durante-like voice en­couraging
others to keep
up with him.
P.E. Anonymous, directed
by "Coach" Martincic, is
for exercise buffs. There are
no electric machines or belts
or gadgets to do the work.
It is not a reducing class,
although several women,
combining the exercise with
diet, have lost as much as
40 pounds, and from five to
10 inches where it flatters.
Sticking with it for a pe­riod
of six weeks is all it
takes to get hooked-and the
day is incomplete without
it.
The unique "class"began
in the old Alumni Gym in
1964. Martincic had been
bugged for months to "let

men who admired his condi­tioned
good health and good
spirits.
"But it just didn't work
out," he says. "I get up at
5 a.m., run two miles and
then do 125 push-ups. Not
many guys wanted to do it
at that time."
They still don't, Martin­cic
still does, and the 5:15
p.m. class is now an institu­tion
with the possibility of
organizing a morning group.
The present series is pie
ceded or followed by a
mile's job-acceptable routes
prescribed by Martincic. The
routine does not vary and is
the same for men and women,
with the exception of a
"half" push-up for women.
To a lightly worn recoru
which includes "Pomp and
Circumstance" and "Waltz­ing
Matilda", participants
in P.E. Anonymous begin by
jumping and stretching for
approximately five minutes.
If someone is late, the warm-up
begins again, despite
groans.
Participants jump together,
sit-up together, bicycle to-gather
and "curl" together-a
difficult, isometric-orient­ed
exercise near enough to
the end to please the clock
watchers. As the last exer­cise
begins, so does the
"Stars and Stripes", and a
beaming Martincic assures
his followers, "Isn't that
great?" Then, VI feel
terrific!"
;" People get the iaea uiey
should slow down when they
reach 40," Martincic says.
"I've seen, persons do that
and by the time they're 50,
they're walking around like
old men and women. Losing
physical vitality seems to
make a person lose all zest
for life."

WHERE THE NEW
. . TEXTBOOK DOLLAR GOES
College Students
and Others
have been spending more
than $3 million a year for
textbooks. This is not a
very large amount of
money when compared to
other American industries
where this annual amount
is realized every week or
month!
Textbooks, the tools of education, seldom account for more than
two or three per cent of the total education bill. It is an
unusual text that is priced at more than two or three cents a page.
Figures from the American Educational Publishers Institute
and the National Association of College Stores have been used to illustrate
most of the costs involved in the production and sale of a textbook.

Good luck charm-
AU's War Eagle
War Eagle IV, Auburn's mascot and "good luck charm,"
has earned himself a new home by helping inspire the
35-28 Gator Bowl win-just as the first War Eagle earned
a home 40 years ago when he helped break a four year
losing streak at his first football game.
Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity and the Auburn Ju­nior
Chamber of Commerce are planning to raise funds for
a new cage for War Eagle IV at the first War Eagle Bowl
to be held Jan. 23 in Cliff Hare stadium.
Perhaps you wonder just how the golden eagle "dy­nasty"
began at Auburn.
First came the "Warrrr Eagle" battle cry. Some say
that it originated after an eagle was found on a southern
battlefield during the Civil War, but no one seems to be
sure of this.
The first "War Eagle" became entangled in amass of
peavines when he darted down to feast on a number of
turkeys foraging in a pea patch near Auburn. The gib
bird, with a six-foot, four-inch wingspan, was hopelessly
trapped.
Unusually strong winds the previous week were blamed
for having brought him into this area. The species other­wise
has rarely been seen east of the Mississippi River.
The rescuer of the predator sold him for $10 to a group
of students and citizens. He was then presented to the
"A" Club before Auburn's Thanksgiving football game
with South Carolina, the final game of the season.
Auburn, without a victory in their Southern Conference
for more than four years, must have gotten a shot in the
arm. Rookie Coach Chet Wynne's Tigers, including junior
Ralph "Lefty" Jordan, defeated the heavily-favored Game­cocks
25-7.
From that time until the present, the American golden
eagle has been the symbol of Auburn pride and spirit.
Today's War Eagle IV, nicknamed "Tiger," was pre­sented
to Auburn by the Birmingham Downtown Action
Committee in October, 1964, following the death of War
Eagle III. Tiger was acquired from a zoo in Jackson,
Miss.
His predecessor, War Eagle m, was found shot to death
in Birmingham after he escaped from a cage there before
the Auburn-Tennessee football game Sept. 26, 1964. Later,
charges against the accused assailant were dropped be­cause
of insufficient evidence. (Eagles are protected by
federal law.)
War Eagle IV's wingspan is six feet, two inches. He
has razor-sharp talons and a large, curved upper beak
framed by golden eyes. Light brown feathers on the back
ml his head and shoulders, thickened for the winter, give
Jiis species the name "golden" eagle.
Tiger, "War Eagle," is truly a "rare bird." He has
Uhe distinction of being born in captivity, which is un-
Ssual for eagles, as they mate in the air. He is also gent­ler
than his predecessors, having never known complete
freedom. L. t„ „
v^Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity cares for the eagle,
Reding him three times per week a special diet for birds
H prey* Tig«r'yh«rtft»r, tfitniFarris, 3INM* occasionally
gives the winged predator a live chicken. "This maintains
-his killer instinct so, should he escape, he will be able
j|b provide for himself," Farris explains.
ff "Although fairly tame, Tiger sometimes clamps down
on a hand during feeding or training, resulting in a nasty
cut," says fo
