'Letters to North Vietnam9
"I don't think solitary con­finement,
not being allowed
to sleep or eat, having finger­nails
removed, having an in­fected
arm which was almost
lost, being dragged along the
ground with a broken leg are
humane ways to treat a pris­oner
of war."
But this is the way Lt. Robert
Frishman, (U.S. Navy) said he
was treated while he was held
prisoner by the North Vietnamese
Government for 3 years. He was
Rene Brinsfield chosen
WiGL station manager
Rene Brinsfield, 3GSP, has been chosen as station manager of the
campus radio station by the Board of Student Communications.
Brinsfield was chosen over
two other candidates who had
met the qualification require­ments
which had been set by
the board. The candidates had
applied for the position by sub­mitting
an application to James
E. Foy, dean of student affairs,
who is also chairman of the
communications board, and were
interviewed by the board prior
to the selection.
Brinsfield had been serving
as temporary manager of the sta­tion
since fall quarter. He ex­pects
the station to begin broad­casting
either in late February
or early March. It will take un­til
then to install the heavy
equipment which has not yet
arrived, he said.
"We will have a better idea
when we can begin broadcasting
when all the equipment comes
in," said Brinsfield.
The non-commercial station
has been allotted $15,000 by Au­burn's
concession board to co­ver
initial costs and the sta­tion
will operate on an annual
budget of just over $10,000.
The annual budget allots $900
for office expenses, $3,000 for
programming, $1,000for engineer­ing,
$390 for miscellaneous ex­penses
and $4,900 for salaries,
for a total of $10,190.
Salaried personnel will in­clude
a half-time secretary, a
program director, an engineer­ing
director, a news and public
affairs director, a music director
and a sports director, in ad­dition
to Brinsfield, who will
receive an annual salary of $660.
Brinsfield plans to announce
next Wednesday the persons
he has selected to fill these
positions on his permanent staff.
In addition to the basic staff,
there will be a need for many
volunteers to help make the sta­tion
a success, but Brunsfield
anticipates no problems in this
area.
"We have already had many
students volunteer their help,
and some of the volunteers have
been very qualified. I believe
we have enough qualified stu­dents
to make the station a
tremendous success," he said.
In other action by the Board
of Student Communications, Dean
Foy announced that he will
appoint a committee to study
current production facilities of
The Plainsman and the ques­tion
of whether it should include
national news in its coverage
in the future.
released in 1969..
In an article from U.S. News
& World Report Lieutenant Frish­man
said he was speaking out
not only for himself "but for
my buddies back in the prison
camp.''
From Jan. 22 to Feb. 5, mem­bers
of Scabbard and Blade will
be sponsoring a drive, "Letters
to North Vietnam" to encourage
students to write North Vietnam
and voice their disapproval of
the treatment POW's are receiv­ing.
"North Vietnam is sensitive
to world opinion!" Jim McCool,
3EE, drive chairman said. "Let
your opinion be known. The suc­cess
of this drive depends on
the cooperation of every stu­dent."
The military honor society
will present a gold palque to the
group or organization which col­lects
the largest number of let­ters
during the drive. However,
all students are urged to par­ticipate,
even if not connected
with any group in competition.
Each student is requested to
write as many letters as he
wishes.
Letters should be limited to
one hand written page and in­clude
a 25 cent air mail stamp.
"You should not be abusive
but simply state in your own
words you concern for Ameri­can
prisoners held in North
Vietnam and by the Viet Cong,"
McCool said. "You should also
request in your letter that the
terms of the Geneva Conven­tion
be honored."
The unsealed letters, ad­dressed
to President of North
Vietnam, Ton Due Thang, Of­fice
of the President, Democra­tic
Republic of Vietnam, Hanoi,
North Vietnam, are to be turned
in at the Union Building lobby
from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday
through Friday of the drive.
Deadline is 5 p.m., Feb.-5.
In order for letters to be count­ed
in competition, they must
be stamped and properly ad­dressed.
The terms of the Geneva Con­vention
which North Vietnam
endorsed in 1957, but has since
refused to honor are:
"Q.) Names of all prisoners
of war be published." Over 400
men are believed to be pri­soners,
approximately 1,200 are
in a missing category.
"(2) Repatriation of sick and
wounded prisoners." The first
American pilot was shot down
and captured in August, 1964. In
that period of time, nine men
have been returned to the Uni­ted
States with no regard given
to the sick and wounded.
"(3) Regular impartial in-i
spections of prisoner of war
facilities be permitted."
"(4) All prisoners receive
proper medical care and ade­quate
food." Recent testimony
of released prisoners attest to
the inhumane treatment of our
men.
"(5) Free flow of mail be­tween
prisoners and their fami­lies
be allowed." Letters have
been received by approximately
one hundred families out of more
than 1,600 men who are in a
missing prisoner category.
Anonymous call reveals
site of stolen paintings
Two of the five paintings which were stolen from Smith Hall
during Christmas vacation have been recovered, according to
Cnief Millard E. Dawson of Campus Security.
STATION MANAGER RENE BRINSFIELD
The paintings, which were
part of a Master's thesis re­quirement,
belong to Mary B.
Teatley, 6 FA.
An anonymous phone call to
Campus Security this week led
to the recovery of the paintings,
according to Chief Dawson. The
caller stated that "the paintings
you're looking for are at the
Comminity Center on Opelika
Road."
Five paintings were found at
the site, according to Chief
Dawson. One of these belonged
to an art student who hadn't re­ported
it missing. Two belonged
to Miss Teatley and the other
two are unidentified.
Campus, local and state au­thorities
are still searching for
the other three paintings, ac­cording
to Chief Dawson. The
most valuable painting is still
missing.
The paintings were all fin­ished
works on canvas in oil
and enamel.
"We are not concerned as
much about the monetary value
of the works,",said Chief Daw­son,
"as the fact that these
paintings were in connection
with her graduate work."
Wallace segregation cry
changed to people power
In 1968 his cry was "se­gregation
forever." Last Mon­day
as George C. Wallace a-gain
became governor of Ala­bama
he raised a new stan-dard-"
people power."
In his inaugural address Wal­lace
said, ". . .the place to get
the desired change is within the
law and not by destruction of
the system. The street is not a
proper place to change America,
but the ballot box through 'peo­ple
power' . . ."
"Every American can partici­pate
in government by voicing
his or her thoughts within the
law at every level of govern­ment."
The week in review ,
Prime Inttrast rata drops... J
NEW YORK-In a move to bolster the economy, banks around the
nation, including the First National City Bank of New York, began
striking their prime interest rates to an average of six and one-quar­ter
per cent during the past week. First National, the second largest
bank in the country, dropped its interest rates one-quarter point last
week. Other banks, including Chase Manhattan, Hanover Trust Co.
and Morgan Guaranty Trust Co., immediately followed suit. The rate
cuts have been followed by many smaller banks throughout the coun­try.
Stock market analysts declared Wednesday that the rate cuts af­fected
the market very little and that the Dow Jones average climbed
1.65 points, indicating that the rate cuts had been anticipated.
If. Cof/ey trial recesses...
FT. BENNING, Ga.-The Army has declared a one-month recess in
the court-martial of Lt. William Calley Jr., charged with the murder of|
102 Vietnamese civilians at My Lai hamlet in 1969. The recess has
been ordered to let Lieutenant Calley undergo a series of tests at
Walter Reed Army hospital in Washington, D. C, to determine if he
was mentally competent enough to analyze a complex decision on the
legality or illegality of orders that allegedly said to destroy the vil­lage.
At Ft. McPherson, Ga., one of Calley's men, Sgt. Charles E. Hut-to,
was acquitted earlier on charges of criminal action in the incident
at My Lai. The military jury felt that Sergeant Hutto should not be
punished for obeying orders, citing that his background left him in­capable
of determining the legality of Calley's orders.
Cross-f lorida Canal haltad...
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The long-disputed-Cross Florida Barge Can­al,
which was to have connected the city of Mayport on the Sunshine
State's Atlantic coast with Yankeetown on the Gulf of Mexico side,
has been halted by presidential order. Pres. Richard M. Nixon, hop­ing
to save a vast wilderness area, ordered the U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers to abandon the project Tuesday, four days after a federal
judge granted a preliminary injunction suspending construction.
Action was originally brought against the Corps of Engineers by a
group of Florida conservationists known as the Environmental De­fense
Fund, claiming that natural sources of fresh water for several
Florida cities were endangered by the canal, of which 26 miles was
already under development.
New York patrolman and strika...
NEW YORK-Union delegates for New York City patrolmen over­rode
member opposition Tuesday and voted to end a six-day wildcat
strike. However, the basic issues that led to the strike, more pay and
fewer hours, remain to be resolved. Also pending solution is the
question of penalties mandated against the 20,000 striking patrolmen
by New York State's Taylor Law, which forbids public employees to

Some 250 Auburn students
missed classes Monday to par­ticipate
in the inauguration par­ade
in Montgomery. Jeannie Cob­ble,
Miss Auburn, the University
band and four military units
participated in the five-hour
parade, which was one of the
most elaborate and the most ex­pensive
inaugural parade Ala­bama
has ever seen.
Wallace said that the people
of the South and those who think
like the South make up the ma­jority
viewpoint, but that they
are not organized and do not
speak with a loud voice.

It seemed a week to honor Au­burn.
First, Pres. Harry M. Phil-pott
and Coach Ralph "Shug"
Jordan were named to the Ala­bama
Academy of Honor. Then
Wednesday night the Auburn
Chamber of Commerce honored
Jordan and Athletic Director
Jeff Beard at a banquet.
Three hundred from the Uni­versity
and town listened while
Carl Stephens, sportscaster for
WSFA-TV in Montgomery, re­viewed
the highlights of the
Jordan-Beard record. He spoke
highly of their achievements.
President Philpott and Jordan
were among five persons named
to the Academy.
President Philpott was cited
for presiding over Auburn dur­ing
"crucial years in the evolu­tion
of the University."
Coach Jordan was praised
"for building the University's
athletic program and producing
an outstanding number of foot­ball
teams, professional play­ers
and coaches."
Coach Jordan said he received
notification of the selection

It's a start
War Eagle IV receives a $10 check, the first donation
toward his cage. The hand is that of Dean of Student Af­fairs
James E. Foy. If War Eagle does not look pleased
now, perhaps he will later in his new cage. For now Dean
Foy's personal check will have to do.
Counterfeit twenties
circulated in Auburn
Six counterfeit $20 bills
have been passed in the Au­burn
area during the past
two weeks, according to
Auburn Police Detective Ted
Murphy.
Bank tellers have found
the bogus bills in the re­ceipts
of five Auburn stores,
Murphy said.
"Other than the serial
number," he stated, "the
average person would never
know that the bills are not
legitimate. They are nearly
perfect," he continued, "and
we recommend that anyone
who finds a bill about which
there is any question take
it to his bank for verifica­tion."
The bogus $20 bills are
faked from the 1963 series
and have the serial numbers
U 3 1 3 9 9 8 9 3 A and
G31399893A.

Peace Corps positions
open to Auburn grads
Peace Corps Dir. Joseph
H. Blatchford has announced
new opportunities for gradu­ating
Auburn students to
serve overseas with the
Peace Corps.
"Auburn alumni have made
a tremendous contribution
over the past decade to
Peace Corps programs
throughout the world," said
the director, noting that a to­tal
of 31 Auburn graduates
have already served abroad
as Peace Corps volunteers
since 1961. "We look for­ward
to continued support
from Auburn in the 1970's."
According to Blatchford,
who himself has spent much
of his adult life in volunteer
social service, applications
for two-year tours are cur­rently
being accepted to
staff new programs in vir­tually
every one of the 61
countries in Africa, Asia
and Latin America where
the Peace Corps operates.
The Peace Corps require-1
ments of today, Blatchford
pointed out, are somewhat
different from those of the
1960's when the Peace
Corps consisted primarily
of generalists involved in
community planning or teach­ing
English. Now, the de­velopment
needs of the host
countries are becoming more
specific andthe Peace Corps
is responding with more di­verse
and specialized pro­grams
than in its early days.
To staff these programs,
the Peace Corps is seeking
people with a wide variety
of backgrounds. The call
today continues to be for
the liberal arts generalists-especially
for those with
summer job experience in
such skills as farming, con­struction,
business or nur-sing-
but also for students
who are majoring in the sci­ences,
engineering, educa­tion,
agriculture or business.
Knowledge of a second lang­uage,
especially French or
Spanish, continues to be
most helpful.
"Our applications this
year are dramatically up,"
Blatchford explained, "but
so are our requests from
overseas. Right now, we are
filling positions that cover
more than 360 separate job
categories. Regardless of
what your background or in­terest
may be, the chances
are that you could put it to
good use with the Peace
Corps."
Blatchford stressed that
potential applicants need
not possess or be expert in
their skills or fluent in a
second language. But they
must be willing to learn.
After acceptance and ten­tative
assignment to coun­try
and job, Peace Corps
volunteers receive intensive
professional, language and.
orientation training at cen­ters
in Hawaii, Puerto Rico
or in the country of assign­ment.
The Peace Corps now
teaches some 180 different
languages and dialects, as
well as countless skills and
specializations.
After completion of train­ing,
Peace Corps volunteers
serve abroad for a period of
two years, during which they
live in the style of the host
country. Their housing, food,
transportation and other out-
Vera Home delivers
t g •
conservation address
"1 am here to beg for re-
' education of industry, man,
students," to help face the
problems of environment,
said Mrs. Vera Home of
the Alabama Conservancy
Wednesday night.
Mrs. Home, whose ad­dress
was sponsored by the
School of Business Faculty
Seminar, directed her appeal
to approximately 30 faculty
members and students.
In discussing the dangers
of environmental "poisons"
such as DDT and radiation,
Mrs. Home said, "We are
very quickly losing control
of our bodies because of
the changes forced on them."
She directed an appeal to
industry to "at least study
the problem" and said that
she is "not adverse to con­frontation
if no other me­thod
works" to solve the
ecological problems of to­day.
During a question and an­swer
period following her
speech, Mrs. Home em­phasized
that universities,
especially landgrant col­leges,
should be the driving
force behind the efforts to
combat environmental prob­lems.
Mrs. Home has studied
and/or researched at Utah
State University at Logan,
the University of Minnesota
and Tulane University. She
has taught at Utah State
University, in the public
and private schools of Ala­bama,
at the University of
Alabama at Mobile, the Uni­versity
of South Alabama
and Spring Hill College. She
is the chairman of the en­vironmental
quality com­mittee
of the State League
of Women Voters, and is
involved in many other ac­tivities
for the public in­terest.

headed by the dean of the
School of Business, 0. D.
Turner, commented on ques­tions
and statements pre­sented
by Mrs. Home.

Student
enrollment
decreases
By Kevin Kilpatrick
Plainsman Staff Writer
Student enrollment at Au­burn
has dropped from 13,847
fall quarter to a projected
enrollment of 13,247, ac­cording
to Wilbur A. Tin­cher,
director of Educa­tional
Services.
Tincher cited several
reasons for the drop. He
said 655 students were gra­duated,
207 were suspended
and 122 are on field lab
service (student teaching).
He also said several stu­dents
had left Auburn be­cause
of the draft, finan­cial
or medical reasons.
A further break-down of
student enrollment as to
national and state origin
and as to race and creed
is not available at this
time. Tincher attributed
the delay to the 15-day class
adjustment period and a
"slow" computer system.
Last year, the winter
quarter enrollment was 14,229,
almost 1,000 higher than
this year. A similar drop of
enrollment was seen be­tween
fall, 1969 and fall,
1970.
President Philpott at­tributed
the drop to the
"tight money" situation in
the country which makes it
difficult for students to ob­tain
loans, to the decrease
from the draft which might
cause several males to work
instead of coming to school,
and to the fact that Auburn
is lowering its credits for
graduation, which makes
several students graduate
ahead of schedule.

We goofed
As journalists-to-be, we are acutely
aware that the printed word carries
an impact which far exceeds that of
its oral equivalent.
One of the everyday pressures of
newspaper work is writing with de­licacy
so as not to distort the truth.
But in spite of our best efforts, we
often fall short.
Last week, in our Color section,
we attempted to untangle the con­fusion
which surrounds the status of
popular entertainment at Auburn.
We were unintentionally unfair in our
coverage to Ed Joiner, of Ed Joiner
Productions, Inc., and to Dean of
Women Katharine Cater.
In discussing the cancellation of
a contract between Joiner and the
University, we listed grievances of
SGA and the University without list­ing
Joiner's equally justifiable grie­vances.
We regret our implication that the
contract was terminated by the Uni­versity
when in fact it was ended
by mutual agreement between Joiner
and the University.
We wrote that Dean Cater is head
of the Social Life Committee, yet
does not know Chicago from Opeli-ka.
While Dean Cater herself would
probably admit that is true, it does
not counteract her effectiveness, as
we implied.
We failed to point out that Dean
Cater does not have a vote on the
Committee, which merely votes on
suggestions from an entertainment
committee made up of three SGA re­presentatives
and one administra­tor.
We apologize to Dean Cater and
to Mr. Joiner.
Governor Wallace
You don't have to like Gov. George
Wallace to admire his political savvy
and his charisma. The man is a poli­tician,
and he's polished at his cho­sen
art.
There were some detectable signs
in Wallace's inaugural speech of a
turn away from the ranting racism
which has proven so successful for
him in the past.
He talked of taxes and people pow­er,
both of which are fairly safe to­pics
since they hold some signifi­cance
for everyone.
We hope the Governor won't find
it necessary to rely on racism for
his fire in the future; indeed we are
sure he'realizes attitudes toward that
issue are changing.
And we shall observe with interest
his method for providing us with the
increased services he has promised
without raising taxes "not voted by
the people."
WEGL
We congratulate Rene Brinsfield
on his selection by the Board of
Student Communications to .serve as:
the first manager pf the campus ra­dio
station, WEGL.
Already, Brinsfield has put in long
hours of work on the station in his
role as temporary manager.
We wish the station and its stu­dent,
workers much success, and we
-eagerly await the first broadcast.
The station will be invaluable as
a means for fuller student expression
and speedier, more effective com­munication
on the campus.
Letters policy
As we've said before, The Plains­man
is the student newspaper and we
want it to reflect the full spectrum
of student views. We offer our edi­torials
and columns as singular ooin-ions
of no greater or less significance
than the singular opinions of our
readers.
Letters must not exceed 250 words
in length and they must be typewrit­ten
with double spacing."
Letters must contain the signature
and telephone number of the writer
for verification. If the content of the
letter would be embarrassing to the
writer, we will withhold the name
upon request.
Letters are subject to Plainsman
editing procedures and are printed
on a "space available" basis, as is
all Plainsman material.
In-depth comment which exceeds
the limitations of a letter may be sub­mitted
to the editor for consideration
as a "rebuttal" column. Length
should not exceed two double-spaced
typewritten pages.
Items of this nature will be printed
according to space available and at
the discretion of the editor, as are
Plainsman columns.
We welcome your comments; they
add interest to The Plainsman.

It was a bad week from
the beginning. Quizzes hit,
the. bitter cold arrived, and
Wallace was inaugurated.
We made at least three big
goofs in last week's Plains­man,
and I was encountering
even more than the usual
amount of outspoken criticism
from those who can tell us
just what we're doing wrong,
but can't find the time to
come help us do better.
I was struggling against
a powerful urge to toss my
guitar, records, and dog (he
always loves me no matter
what) into the back seat of
my VW and drive to a place
where no one had ever heard
of me, the Plainsman or
Auburn.
It was the worst possible
time for a freshman to ap­proach
me to say he wanted
to write for the paper.
I had to admire his nerve.
When I was a freshman, I
was afraid of upperclass-men,
particularly those with
scowls on their faces. I ne­ver,
ever would have been
so bold as to offer my ser­vices
to one of them. I knew
that, for all practical pur­poses,
I was worthless.
But the changing times
have erased such class stra­tification.
And so this bold
young man stood there and
stated that he wanted to
write for the paper.
"Write about what?" I
snarled.
"Oh, you know. Ecology.
Pollution," he replied.
"What about ecology and
pollution? What kind? Air?
Land? Water? People?
"Where? In Auburn? Lee
County? Alabama? The coun­try?
The world?" I asked,
rapid-fire.
Not the past or future- live for miracle of now
I was in a bookstore a few
days ago trying to find a book
for a class I had been to only
four times this quarter. I was
planning to catch up on all
my reading this weekend.
It was raining outside. And
cold. Everyone in the store
looked tired and grumpy.
While I was in the checkout
line I noticed the rows of
bumper stickers on the wall.
"Peanut butter is better than
pot," I reac. "Beautify Amer­ica—
shoot a redneck." And
"Enjoy the miracle of now."
I looked around. No one
looked as if they were enjoy­ing
anything. I left the book­store
and put up my umbrella.
I was cold and my feet were
wet. I wished I were some­place
else, any place but
Auburn in the wintertime.
Then I remembered the
sign again. "Enjoy the mir­acle
of now." It seemed to
make a kind of sense. I had
been in much pleasanter
situations before, but I was
here, and it was now, and I
could do nothing but try to
make the best of it.
The more I thought, the
more it seemed to me that
people spend a large part of
their lives either storing up
memories and living in the
past, or projecting into the
future-they have no time to
notice what's happening a-round
them now.
I have one friend who takes
pictures all the time-not for
the sake of "art" or because
she likes photography, but
so she will have something
by which to remember a par­ticular
situation.
Whenever she goes any­where,
her Brownie Instamatic
goes with her. Half her time
is spent creating contrived
situations, posing people
with artificial smiles, and
snapping them into perma­nence.
And the other half of her
time is spent poring over
the pictures, showing them
to whoever will look and
saying, "This is what hap­pened
when . . . "
But what she doesn't rea­lize
is that while she is
creating these situations she
is missing what is really
happening. One can capture
a physical setting, but the
essense of an experience is
forever elusive unless it is
imprinted on the mind.
"We had the experience
but missed the meaning,"
says one modern poet, and
this seems to be happening
to many people today.
Others may not live in
the past, but the present is
just a time to get through as
gracefully as possible until
something better comes a-long.
Lonely girls sit around
their dorms dreaming of "Mr.
Right," and doing nothing
to go about meeting him.
Some people brag about
all they will accomplish
next week, or next month, or
next year. "I have plenty
of time to worry about that,"
they say. "I'll do it later."
The past and the future
are not unimportant-both
shape the way that the pre­sent
appears. But if one
lives in the past or the fu­ture,
he misses the biggest
part of his life-the part that
is happening now.
Life may not always be
pleasant, and it can often be
boring. But if a person can't
find anything in the present
to enjoy, there is really no
reason for him to be alive.
Enjoy the miracle of now.
I may even go to class
tomorrow.
John Samford
Conflict: men think and machines follow orders
The Nuremberg and Tokyo
trials following World War
II firmly established the
principle, later adopted by
the United Nations, that
individual soldiers are re­sponsible
for their own ac­tions
at all times.
Obedience to orders was
completely ruled out as an
acceptable defense for com­mitting
a war crime.
Since World War II, the
principles invoked at Nurem­berg
have commonly been
accepted as international
law. But the American armed
forces have apparently com­pletely
ignored this fact in
all of their training programs.
The widespread belief
among GI's that orders are
never to be questioned has
become increasingly evident
in the court-martial proceed-ings
concerning the alleged
My Lai massacre of 1968.
Most American soldiers,
it seems, firmly believe that
failure to obey an order, es­pecially
in a combat situation,,
will result in severe punish­ment.
Last week Paul Meadlo,
a former member of Charlie
Company, testified in the
Lt. William Calley court-martial
that he (Meadlo) had
participated in two mass
executions of men, women,
and children at My Lai. Both
times, he swore that Lieute-nent
Calley had ordered him
to open up and had done
much of the shooting him­self.
Why did Meadlo obey such
orders? Because, he said,
all his training since he
had been drafted emphasized
what happened to wise-guys
who didn't obey orders.
"During a combat situa­tion,"
he told the court at
Fort Benning, "any time you
disobey an order you're lia­ble
to be shot on the spot,
or face a court martial."
And it isn't just the sold­iers
on trial who hold this
belief. One lieutenant colonel
was accepted for the jury
of Sgt. Charles E. Hutto's
trial, despite his contention
that a soldier is a "tool"
and an "unreasoning agent"
of his commander.
It's shattering to think
that the military establish­ment
has found it necessary
to its efficiency to reduce
human beings to unthinking
machines which blindly fol­low
orders.
But it is even more in­credible
that after brain­washing
soldiers into mere
"tools," military leaders
are actually court-martialing
several of these men for
doing exactly what they were
trained and told to do.
It is about time that those
infamous drill sergeants
spent a little more time
training soldiers to be human
beings with a responsible
attitude instead of machines
which do nothing more, no­thing
less, than what they
are told.
The fact that such a change
would place our armed for­ces
in compliance with in­ternational
law is a mean­ingful
consideration.
And more importantly such
a change would make the re­cruiting
statement true when
it claims "The Marine Corps
builds men."
University professors take fairness stand
From the
Anniston Star
The prestigious American Associa­tion
of University Professors, which
has a way of being heard when it takes
a stand, has taken a position on ac­tivism
displayed by faculty members.
Expression of dissent and efforts
at change, said the AAUP Council,
must not "injure individuals or damage
institutional facilities or disrupt the
classes of one's teachers or colleagues.
Futhermore, the AAUP Council cau­tioned
against barring students from
classrooms because of the students'
beliefs or how they might use the know­ledge
gained. They must base grades
and course credit on students' "aca­demic
performance professionally
judged" rather than "personality, race,
religion, degree of political activism
or personal beliefs.
The American Association of Uni­versity
Professors has a long and well-established
history of going into the
affray on behalf of academic freedom.
Its advice to faculty members is con­sistent
and admirable. Dissent on cam­pus,
in case after case, has peaked in
disruption of classes, harrassment of
students and professors and a break­down
in the freedom of both students
and professors to pursue their acade­mic
goals.
And at another point the council
warned against forcing a student to
make "particular personal choices as
to political action or his owh part of
society.''
There will be those among faculty
members who feel that they should
be free and unfettered souls, allowed
to take an ax to the academic system
if they feel so inclined. 'They may be
covered in the part of the AAUP state­ment
which says:
Whenever a faculty member's "at­tention
to his obligation as a citizen
and moral agent precludes the fulfill­ment
of substantial academic obliga­tions"
he should "either request a
leave of absence or resign."

The Plainsman Perspective is a
weekly guest column devoted to issues
and viewpoints relative to Auburn Uni­versity
and its environment. This
week's Perspective is reprinted from
the editorial page of the Anniston
Star.
"I don't know . . . what
about legalizing marijuana?"
he said.
I tried to explain to him
about the various types of
material which are suitable
for use in The Plainsman-news,
features, sports, and
editorials. I explained how
most Plainsman writers be­come
Plainsman writers . . .
they start out writing dull
news stories. They accumu­late*
experience, skill, and
seniority until one day they
become editors, just like on
a real newspaper.
He wouldn't buy it. He
wasn't interested in writing
any news articles, even though
I had pointed out that it was
a good way for freshman to
learn about the campus.
He wanted to write about
what he wanted to write a-bout.
"Isn't this a student
newsDaDer?" he demanded.
"Yes," I said. "It's a stu­dent
newspaper. All of us who
work are students. But we
try to maintain certain jour­nalistic
standards."
Undaunted, he tried for
shock effect. "What would
you say if I told you that
someone is going to start
another newspaper . . .one
that would write about the
things that count?"
I responded with the same
answer I have given to se­veral
other versions of that
same threat. "Fine. Good
luck."
I could tell he was giving
up on me. so I urged him to
write a letter to the editor,
or a "rebuttal" column which
The Plainsman would be
delighted to print, express­ing
his views. And if he ever
wanted to write, that is
work, for us, he would be
welcomed, I added.
He seemed satisfied, and
left.
I've wondered since if his
dominant impression was that
one apparently held by some
other students-that The
Plainsman does not encourage
freedom of expression by
students not on the staff.
Early last quarter, we urged
our readers to write letters
to the editor if they wanted
to question, comment, or
complain about a campus is­sue
or a Plainsman Story or
editorial. To those who want­ed
to comment in depth, we
suggested that they submit
"rebuttal" columns.
We got a few letters, but
no one took us up on the
column.
One avid Plainsman cri­tic
told me that the only peo­ple
who write letters to the
editor are people who have
ego hang-ups. I disagree.
I think people who write
letters to the editor have
something to say, like the
guy last quarter who thought
War Eagle needed a new cage.
He wrote a letter to the edi­tor,
it was printed, and now
War Eagle is going to get a
new cage.
Since we don't get that
many letters, I just assume
that no one has much to say-which
is why I can't under­stand
it when people com­plain
about The Plainsman,
and grumble about starting
underground newspapers.
The channels to the Plains­man
are open, but they are
full of cobwebs because they
are never used.
Just like the freshman
said, The Plainsman is a
student newspaper. As such,
it should reflect the students
it serves.
We are hopelessly idealis­tic
about our role. We are
devoted to the ideals of
fair play and freedom of ex­pression.
We are students. We make
lots of mistakes, and we
die inside each time.
We often wish our critics,
who are also students, would
join us in our efforts, instead
of just griping. "Put up or
shut up," as we used to say
in the third grade.
Oh well, what's the use?
Now it's the end of the
week and I'd still like to
pack up and leave. But I've
decided not to, at least not
until it's warmer.
I'm needed here by about
75 birds who live near me and
have grown dependent on the
bird feeder I operate, on the
side, during cold weather.
Besides, I'd like to be
here if that freshman should
decide to come back.

Commedian Grady Nutt will be appearing Jan. 30, at the Bap­tist
Student Union's Skit Night. The 7:30 p.m. show is free of

minute skits. The BSU is located at 135 N. College St.
Editor, The Plainsman:
In a letter to the editor print­ed
in the January 15 issue of
The Plainsman, concern was
expressed over the frequency
allocation of Auburn's campus
radio station. The letter also
implied that there was little or
no consideration given to the
choice of the frequency applied
for. Nothing could be farther
from the truth.
The Federal Communications
Commission reviews the fre­quency
request of each appli­cant
for a construction permit
to assure that an overlap of
signal will not occur. This fact
was well known prior to the
filing of Auburn's application.
Though there were a number
of frequencies available, 91.1
was chosen due to the fact that
at the time of filing our request,
there was a used, 10-watt trans­mitter
available at a consider­able
saving over the cost of pur­chasing
a new one. This trans­mitter
had been broadcasting
at 91.1 MHz, thus the choice
for filing for that frequency.
In preparing to submit our

that exist in America today!"
Wallace said.
He called for an end to illegal
drug traffic and promised, "We
will not long endure, nor will
a government that offers no re­dress
from exhorbitant and un­justly
apportioned taxation," he
said, adding that "people power"
the ballot box is the avenue of
change.
His address closed with words
of the New England poet Robert
Frost: "But I have promises to
keep, And miles to go before I
sleep, And miles to go before
I sleep."

Review
After delegates of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association voted
229 to 112 to return to work, New York City Police Com. Patrick
V. Murphy ordered the suspension of any man who failed to perform
his duties after 4 p.m., Tuesday. No suspensions were reported.
George Mfaloce inaugurated. . .
MONTGOMERY-In the midst of a large and awesomely quiet crowd,
George C. Wallace became Alabama's 52nd governor as he took his
second oath of office during inauguration ceremonies Monday.
Standing on the spot where Confederate Pres. Jefferson Davis
stood 110 years ago, with his left hand on the Bible used to swear
Davis in, Wallace once again pledged himself to the people, the
State of Alabama and the U. S. Constitution. Afterwards, in his in­augural
address, he attacked the federal government on grounds and
with words long familiar to Wallace, his followers and his enemies.
Since the inauguration, Wallace has been busy reorganizing opera­tions
on Capitol Hill, stressing his administration's priorities in pol­icies
and personnel. Emphasizing his intentions to keep his promise
of no new taxes, he advised his legislature to look for other means
of financing programs and suggested that the lawmakers look into
Medicaid, highway problems, insurance and utility rates.
from former Gov. John Patter­son,

Jordan said he was quite sur­prised
and highly honored to be
recognized in such a way by his
fellow Alabamians.
The academy was created by
the State Legislature in 1968 to
honor living Alabamians for
their accomplishments. Presi­dent
Philpott said it automati­cally
: included as members
all living governors and former
governors. He said the first se­lections
were made last year by
a special committee appointed
by the governor. Now members
are selected by current members
on the basis of a 75 per cent
vote.
Each year as many as 10 memr
bers may be elected by the aca­demy

reached 100. Then vacancies
will be filled to maintain the
membership of the academy at

frequency request, the fact was
brought out that WREK-FM,
the educational station of Geor­gia
Tech, was broadcasting on
that same channel.
Bob Ware, chief engineer at
Educational Television and the
person appointed to deal with
the FCC on the station's be­half,
investigated this and found
that WREK was well over 100
air miles from Auburn and even
with the power of 40,000 watts
would cause no overlap problems
with our proposed coverage
radius of five to eight miles at
10-watts output.
It was also known that if
there was a chance for the two
stations to overlap that the
FCC would reject our applica­tion
for construction and we
would be forced to amend the
request to another frequency.
Thus a double check of "over­lap"
fears was in effect. First,
Bob Ware's research and pro­fessional
opinion and secondly,
the FCC's approval of the 91.1
MHz request.
Our application for a con­struction
permit was approved
on Dec. 30, 1970, for a 10-watt
station broadcasting on channel
216 (91.1 MHz) as was request­ed.
We consider this approval
valid proof that the operation
of our station will not be af­fected
by WREK's broadcast.

Editor, The Plainsman:
On your column "Everybody, I
love you," in the Jan. 15 Plains­man,
I commend you.
I am also an avid follower of
our own contemporary "art"-that
art which progressed from early
gutsy "rock and roll.''"
Being intensely interested in
the lyrics, I have found Simon and
Garfunkel and Bob Dylan to be*
my favorite contemporary mes-sangers.
I would think that you and I
are just two of a growing multi­tude
who can claim our own me­dium
to communicate. I found my
roommate, one who has ribbed me
on my lyrical interests, recently
listening to my "Bridge Over
Troubled Water" album by Simon
and Garfunkel. He was paying
particular attention to the title
song while following the words
closely on the cover. He was ina
depressed mood at the time.
I believe that we have advanced
some distance from several years
ago when Paul Simon cried out in
"Sounds of Silence," "People
talking without speaking, People
hearing without listening, People
writing songs that voices never
share, No one dared disturb the
sounds of silence."

Residency law
silences voice
of students
Editor, The Plainsman:
When Lt. Gov. Jere Beasley
and various state legislators
promised several student govern­ment
presidents from Alabama's
major colleges that they would
give students a voice by lower­ing
the voting age to 18, they
only told half the story.
A 1958 Alabama law makes
it very difficult, if not impossi­ble,
for students to establish
residency and vote for local of­ficials
in the city and county
in which they attend school.
This effectively silences stu­dent
voters (whether they are
18 or 21) in having a voice in
local affairs.
The Lee County Board of
Registrars has a file of re­quirements
applicable only to
students and is very reluctant
to register students for federal
or state elections.
The law is clearly discrimina­tory
in that a student who wish­es
to establish voting residency
in a county other than where his
parents live must either own
property there or pay a state in­come
tax. Furthermore, he must
swear to remain a resident of
this county after graduation.
Why are students the only ones
subjected to these requirements?
There are, however, loopholes
in every law.
All of this means nothing un­less
Auburn students want to
have a voice in the community.

are inseparable from and depen­dent

present date for the start of
spring quarter. Little, if any­thing,
is ever accomplished on
the first day of classes that could
not be combined with the first
day of lecture.
Having classes begin on Mon­day,
March 29, rather than Fri­day,
March 26, would also give
ns three extra days to spend
with family and friends. Also,
some of us live up to 500 miles
away and returning on that Fri­day
will really cut a lot from our
break.
Therefore, we do not think
this an unreasonable complaint.

The Student Senate last week reconsidered the
revised campus advertising law. The law has been
vetoed twice by Pres. Harry M. Philpott. The
Senate has invited President Philpott to its Mon­day
meeting to discuss the controversial bill.

THE AUBURN PUINSMMI -6 Friday, January 22,1971 Mat men open in Coliseum
with 'Bama and brothers
All takes Tech, Gators
In years when other teams
were having lean seasons,
Auburn's wrestling Tigers
provided a winning record,
and with a 7-1 showing so
far, this year appears to be
no exception.
Coach Arnold Umbach col­lected
his 210th and 211th
career wins last weekend,
downing Georgia Tech in
Atlanta 23-12 and Florida
in Gainsville 24-13.
In 25 years of coaching
the Auburn matmen, Umbach'
has only seen his squad
defeated 25 times.
Tech tried hard to hand
Umbach his 26th loss last
Friday night, leading 12-9
going into the 167-pound
class, but Mike Roberts
started a Tiger comeback
with a decision that tied
the score 12-12.
Assured of a team win
with an 18-12 team score
going into his match, heavy-
Puzzled parents
look for draw
Some say that family fights are always the roughest. If
this is the case, the Auburn-Alabama wrestling match to­morrow
evening in Memorial Coliseum will be a real "knock
down-drag out."
Facing each other will be two sets of brothers, Eddie
Rew and Steve Brown for Auburn and their respective bro­thers,
Richard and Steve, for Alabama. There will no doubt
be a little more than school pride and honor at stake as the
two pairings start.
Also here tomorrow night with some problems of their
own will be two sets of parents faced with the problem of
cheering for someone even though they have sons on both
sides of the mats.
"I will do my best to keep myself contained through it
all," said Mr. S. C. Brown of Huntsville. "I can't afford to
be partisan about the match and I hope that it is a draw.
"Steve and Greg have never even been on the same team
before, much less on opposite teams," Mr. Brown continued.
"When Steve was on the high school wrestling team Greg
was playing football. During his senior year Greg got a
concussion and was not able to play football so he tried
wrestling and was a very good competitor in the 185 lb.
class." Steve had graduated the previous year.
"Over the Christmas break the boys worked out together
and came along well.
"I'm sure it will be a very exciting and very close match
between the two teams as a whole, not only the boys. I am
looking forward to being there."

About wrestling against his brother Steve said, "I don't
know if I'll be able to pin him or not, but I'm going to give
it a try. It should be very interesting. I just don't know."
Commenting on their sons wrestling on opposing teams,
Mr. E. L. Rew of Birmingham is looking forward to the
match, and Mrs. Rew says she will be here but may not
watch.
"I have been very nervous about this possibility," com­mented
Mrs. Rew. "I haven't slept for the past two nights
and I think this may have something to do with it."
Mr. Rew said, "I'm sure it will be a good match and a
close one, but it will surely be hard for an Auburn alumni
to go to an Auburn-Alabama contest and show impartiality,
though I'll try my best."
Eddie and Richard both went to Berry High School in
Birmingham. Eddie was the first to wrestle, starting in the
95-lb. class and moving up the next year to make room for
his brother.
Another brother . . .
Following in Eddie and Richard's footsteps is a younger
brother Jimmy who is presently a wrestler at Berry. Thus
far this season he has won all his dual meets with pins
and came in second in one quadrangle meet.
Mrs. Rew said Eddie and Richard were both big Auburn
fans, but Richard chose Alabama because be would have a
better chance to wrestle. Also, it was Bama who offered
him the scholarship.
"The Aubum-Alabama rivalry is really not as bad as one
would expect it to be," Mrs. Rew continued. "The boys get
along very well and are very close. Only once did it almost
flare up and then there really wasn't any worry. After the
Auburn-Alabama game, Eddie only said one thing to Rich­ard:
"War Eagle!"
Commenting on the situation on the mats, Mr. Rew said,
"Richard knows he has to do it, though I'm sure neither is
really overjoyed about having to face the other. Eddie is
very close to his brother but when he steps out on the mat
he will be out to win it. <
"The boys work together all the time and it should be
very exciting to watch them wrestle, each knowing the
other's moves so well," he further stated. "I'm sure it will
be quite a match and I wouldn't miss it for anything."
"The match promises to be one of the toughest of the sea­son
for the Tigers," commented Assistant Coach Dariel
Daniels.
(See page 7 Col. 4)
weight Al Thompson put
the finishing touch on Tech
as well as his opponent
with a 43-second pin.
Greg West, 118-pounder
for the Tigers had won the
only match of the evening
until Roberts' match.
The Florida facing was
less dramatic with the Ti­gers
losing only three of the
ten matches. Auburn hand­ed
Florida five charity
points by forfeit in the 134
pound contest.
Geroge Calloway, 190-
pound er, registered the only
pin of the evening, downing
his opponent in the first
period.
Coming home after a
road trip that saw the Ti­ger
wrestlers take on five
opponents on foreign soil,
the Auburn grapplers face
their cross-state rivals,
the Alabama Crimson Tide.
The Tide will be seeking
revenge for their first loss
of the season last year at
the hands of the Tigers. Au­burn
bested the Tiders in
Memorial Coliseum last year
as well as taking the Bama
boys on their home mats.
The Tigers also handed Ala­bama
their worst loss of the
season to the tune of 28-8
in Auburn.
There will be a pairing
of two sets of brothres in
the matches, Eddie Rew and
Steve Brown of Auburn face
their brothers, Richard and
Greg respectively from Ala­bama.
Another long awaited
match will feature probably
two of the best heavyweights
ever to wrestle in the South,
Alabama's Jim Krapf and
Auburn's Al Thompson.
EDDIE REW
1L8 lb.
Dominating the heavy­weight
class in the South
last year, Krapf's only out­standing
competition came
from teammate John Hannah,
with the two sporting a 25-1-1
combined record. Hannah tne s h o w d°wn this Saturday
who handed Kraph the one ni§h t c o u l d be one of the
defeat in the Tech Invitation- most exciting matches of the
al tournament last year will vear> in Southern wrestling.
Promising to be a close
match all the way, the Au­burn-
Alabama facing offers
still another thriller at 167,
with once beaten Steve Dil-dine
of Bama meeting the
man who issued that defeat
in the Georgia Tech Invita­tional,
Mike Roberts.
A relatively young wrest­ling
team, Alabama is com­peting
in only its third sea­son,
and Coach Jim Tanara
has lost but five matches
in those years. Handing
Bama two of the five losses,
Auburn destroyed a 16 match
string of Bama victories in
the first meeting of the two
teams last year with a 28-8
home victory, and later de­feated
the Tide in Tusca­loosa
22-14.
Coach Arnold Umbach of
the Tigers is anxious to
meet the Tide, and to wrestle
before a home crowd for the
first time this year. The
Wrestling Tigers have faced
eight opponents on the road
and have attended tourna­ments
in Atlanta and Miami.
The Tigers have lost only
one match this season, bow­ing
to LSU 19-17 in the sea­son's
second match, With a
shift in personnel in the mid­dle
weights and the return
of Co-Captain Tom Holliday,
a stronger Tiger team will
face the Tide than met the
close defeat in Baton Rouge.

BILL LYNN PLOTS STRATEGY WITH TIGERS
Coach faces trying season with Tigers now 6-9
Plainsman photo by Glenn Brady
CagerCubsat 5-5
By Randy Donaldson
Assistant Sports Editor
One of the most forgotten
members of the Auburn ath­letic
family is the fresh­man
basketball squad, the
training ground for the Ti­gers
who carry the Blue and
Orange to the courts across
the South. They should not
be overlooked.
This year's edition of the
freshman team has compiled
a 5-5 overall record and a
3-3 tally in the conference.
The leader of the Tigers
has been guard Mike Chris­tian.
He is averaging 26.8
points per game, hitting on
48 per cent of his field
goals and 71 per cent of his
free throws. The 6 ft. 1 in.
sharpshooter is from Dan­ville,
111., and was named
the Outstanding Player in
Eastern Illinois by sports
writers after his senior
year.
The second leading scorer
for the freshmen this sea­son
is 6 ft. 3 in. Tim Bea­vers,
who is playing forward,
FRESHMAN BILLY SMITH PULLS DOWN A REBOUND
Future Tiger stars have compiled a 5-5 mark
Plainsman photo by Glenn Brady
though he was a guard at
Mitchell High School in
Mitchell, Ind., where he was
a three-year starter scoring
a total of 1,101 points. As a
Tiger freshman, he is scor­ing
at a 15-point clip and
hitting on 47 per cent of his
shots.
Billy Smith from Ider is
another of the five scholar­ship
athletes on the fresh­man
team. The 6 ft. 4 in.
forward is averaging 13.6
points per game as well as
grabbing off 10.5 rebounds a
contest. In high school, he
was a two-time all-stater
with his aggressive, hard-nosed
style reminiscent of
former Auburn star Wally
Tinker.
The leading rebounder
for the Tigers this year has
been the tallest man on the
team, 6 ft. 5 in. Brent Sut­ton.
He has assumed the
main share of the rebounding
load by grabbing off 12.1 re­bounds
a game in addition to
11.1 points per game. Sut­ton
hails from Springfield,
Ohio, where his high school
play was good enough to get
him 50 scholarship offers
from across the nation.
The final scholarship play­er
on the team is Charlie
Christmas, a 6 ft. 3 in.
guard from Mt. Brook High
Schoolin Birmingham. A fine
ball-handler, Christmas is
scoring a 9.2-point average,
in high school, he had high
games of 39 and 38 points,
as he led his team with a
20-point average. He and
Smith played together in the
Alabama All-Star Game after
their high school days.
In addition to these stal­warts,
there are six other
players contributing to the
Tiger effort on the courts.
They are guards Donald
Moore from Minooka, 111.,
and Norman Hemberg from
Mobile; forwards Jimmy El­liot
from Childersburg, Dan­iel
Gilchrist from Mobile and
Fred Alford of Opp; and cen­ter
Glenn Simmons of Nat­chez,
Miss.
Tiger cagers lose two,
record falls to 6-9
By Randy Donaldson
Assistant Sports Editor
The Auburn T i g e rs
travel to Nashville tomor­row
night to face the Van-derbilt
Commodores in the
first leg of a tough road
trip in which they will
face the three teams tied
for the conference lead.
Vandy's 4-1 conference
mark has them tied at the
top with Tennessee and
Kentucky. The Commodores
have been led by forward
Thorpe Weber and guard Tom
Arnholt both averaging in
double figures.
The prospect for the trip
was made even more dismal
following the loss of the
Tigers to the lowly Georgia
Bulldogs Monday night. Au­burn
shot a miserable per­centage
from the field while
Georgia converted on several
clutch free throws and went
on to win the contest 77-76.
Under Coach Ken Rose-mond
the Bulldogs had only
one win against ten losses
prior to the game. Sopho­more
Gino Gianfrancesco
led the team with 23 points,
hitting an amazing eight of
ten from the floor and seven
of eight from the free throw
line.
For the Tigers, Jim Ret-seck
led the way with 25
points, followed by Henry
Harris at 20. John Mengelt
was held to his lowest to­tal
since his sophomore
year, scoring only 11 points,
17 below his average.
The loss was especially
bitter for Auburn, this being
the third year in a row that
the Tigers have fallen to the
Bulldogs on their home
court. Also, it spotlighted
the erratic play that has been
characteristic of Auburn this
season.
Coach Bill Lynn has ex­perimented
with several com­binations
of players this
season and the set that
works one night is a flop
the next. The Tigers seem
to play well enough to make
it close against a good team
and poorly enough to be up­set
by a bad team.
With the upcoming games
in Nashville, Knoxville and
Lexington, Coach Lynn is
faced with the task of find­ing
the right combination and
molding it into the fine squad
that it is capable of being.
The Tigers hit a cool 38
per cent from the floor while
Georgia threw in 52.9 per
cent of their attempts. This
wide margin, coupled with
the slow-down tactics em­ployed
by Coach Rosemond,
told the final story of the
Auburn defeat.
In contrast to this outing,
the previous Thursday even­ing
the Tigers made a very
good effort, despite the fact
that they dropped the con­test
90-81 to the Georgia
Tech Yellow Jackets in
Atlanta.
After trailing 45-37 at the
half, , Auburn passed the
Tech 77-76 with only a little
more than five minutes left
RETSECK GOES BASE LINE FOR TWO
Sophomore forward led the Tigers with 25 vs. Georgia
Plainsman photo by Glenn Brady
to go in the contest. But
Tech scored 10 istraight
points, opening the lead to
a margin which the Tigers
were not able to overtake.
Rick Yunkus, 6 ft. 9 in.
Tech center led his team
' to victory as he poured in
39 points. Most of these
came on shots from just out­side
the free throw line as
Yunkus again proved that
he is one of the best-shoot­ing
big men in college bas­ketball.
Mengelt's 20 points paced
the Tigers, with Al Leap-heart
and Retseck close be­hind
at 18.
This was the second vic­tory
for Tech over Auburn
and their eleventh of the
season.
Auburn 'gets
in the swim'
For the second season in
28 years, Auburn will have
an intercollegiate swim­ming
team. Until last year,
the last time the Tigers
competed in the South­eastern
Conference Cham­pionships
was in 1942.
Unlike last season when
he had to recruit members
from the student body, Coach
Bill Washington expects a
more experienced and better
conditioned team for 1971.
With a layoff of three de­cades
hindering his team's
performance, Coach Wash­ington's
Tigers will not be
as competitive as they would
like to be. Each team they
face will hold an edge in
both experience and con­ditioning.
Auburn competed well
with its 1940-42 intercol­legiate
swimming team and
can be expected to return
to their former status in
the very near future. In the
1940 SEC meet, the Tigers
tied Tennessee for fifth and
in the 1942 meet placed
fourth. Now the Auburn swim­mers
are once again on their
way up.
The team's schedule is:
Friday, Jan. 22, Tennes­see.
Saturday, Jan. 23, Dekalb
Junior College.
Tuesday, Jan. 26, Georgia
Tech and Emory.
Thursday, Jan. 28, South
Carolina.
Friday, Feb. 5, Georgia.
Tuesday, Feb. 9, Dekalb
Junior College.
Friday, Feb. 12, Tulane
and University of the South.
Saturday, Feb. 13, LSU
and Rice.
Saturday, Feb. 20, Al­abama.

Auburn opens indoor
season against Tech
By Jerry Hester
Plainsman Sports Writer
The Auburn track team
will play host to Georgia
Tech tomorrow at 1:30 p.m.
in Memorial Coliseum.
This will be the first in­door
meet of the season for
the Tigers. In their first
indoor season last year, the
Tigers compiled a perfect
3-0 record.
According to Coach Mel
Rosen, Auburn's first place
hopes lie in Steve Richards,
high hurdles; Kit Brendle,
1,000-yard run; Paul Comor-ata,
shot putt; Tommy New-dome,
long jump; David Par-rish,
triple jump; Bob Ba­ker,
60-yard dash; and Mil­ton
Bresler, 600-yard run.
Coach Rosen said, "We
are figuring on a close meet
with the pole vault a toss
up. Second and third places
will be a deciding factor in
the outcome."
Georgia Tech favorites
are John Walton, the mile;
Joe Majors, the two-mile;
Ken Nash, the 440; Art Huff­man,
the long jump; and
Terry Muirheid, the high
jump and the mile relay.
Out due to injuries are
Jerry Wooden, Alvin Bres­ler
and Terry Beasley.
Auburn's next meet will
be with Georgia and Clem-son
in Memorial Coliseum.

This week marks the be­ginning
of women's intra­mural
basketball games and
also the beginning of what
may be a new intramural
sports system for Auburn
coeds.
Women's Intramural As­sociation
has begun work
on a new point system which
will place emphasis on par­ticipation
as well as group
skill in a particular sport.
In this way, it is hoped that
more girls will take an ac­tive
interest in intramural
sports even though they may
not be especially good at
any one sport. A participa­tion
trophy as well as a
championship trophy will
be given for competition.
Bowling and badminton
competition will begin Tues­day.
Co-recreational bowling
teams of two girls and two
boys are being formed.
The annual women's track
and field meet is scheduled
for Monday and Tuesday at
7p.m. in Memorial Coliseum.

Last Thursday marked the
end of the first week of bas­ketball
intramurals. In the
four fraternity leagues, nine
teams have a chance to
take home all the marbles.
In league 1, ThetaChi and
OTS are the top contenders
for league championship.
BASKETBALL GOING STRONG AFTER FIRST WEEK

The front runners in league
2 are Beta Theta Pi and Sig­ma
Nu. The Betas are lead­ing
the all-sports race and a
win in basketball could as­sure
them the crown.
Supposedly the weakest
fraternity league, league 3,
is dominated by AGR and
SPE. TheSPEs bombed PDT
81-23 last week, as they
turned the game into a re­bounding
circus. AGR pulled
out a tough one over the Kap-;
pa Sigs 57-50.
League 4 appears to be
the strongest. LCA is again
the team to beat this year,
but they can expect stiff
competition from Sigma Chi
and ATO. LCA smashed DTD
108-39. Parlser was the
leading scorer for Lambda
Chi with 23 points.
SC overran SAE 58-30
with some fine shooting by
Wilker, who made 16 points.
ATO crushed DSP 65-45 with
both Michaels and Shepard
scoring in the double fig­ures.
PKP won over AEP by
forfeit.

The Auburn-Alabama rivalry is there no matter what sport
and it will be a very close and exciting match. There should
be a sizable crowd out to view the Tiger grapplers as they
place their perfect record against the Tiders on the line.
The Tigers handed the Tide its first loss last season in
Memorial Coliseum 28-8 and also handled them in Tusca­loosa
to the tune of 22-14.
Through the past 25 years, Auburn has lost only 24
matches and has a perfect dual meet record in the SEC.

WALLACE SPEAKS TO THE MASSES WHILE WIFE STANDS BY SMILING TRI-SERVICE COLOR GUARD FEMALE MILITARY UNIT, MARCHES, BUT OUT OF STEP
Former Klansman and now Ku Klux Klan victim to talk about love
By Martha Evans
Plainsman Features Editor
G. T. MILLER, a 70-year-old business­man
from Luverne, Ala., is coming to Au­burn
Sunday night "to talk about love."
And even if he's not as poetic as a Carl
Sandburg or as mushy as a Rod McKuen,
Miller is bound to have something interest­ing
to say in his 7 p.m. talk at the West­minister
House sponsored by the First
Presbyterian Church and the Alabama
Council on Human Relations.
Miller's life story reads like the plot of
a Horatio Alger novel-from barefooted
farm boy plowing with a one-eyed ox to
millionare businessman-but with a white-hooded
villain, the Ku Klux Klan, added
to the tale.
He quit school after the third grade to
help out on his father's farm. A one-horse
farm, might produce a $50 profit at the end
of the year and a two-horse farm, $100, said
Miller. With eight children in the family,
the profit didn't go far.
After he married, Miller and his wife
saved every penny they could. Then each
summer for four years, they took a six-week
trip. The purpose of these trips,
said Miller, was to find out how people in
other parts of the United States lived,
what their natural resources were and how
they used them.
"We couldn't afford motels. We cooked
and slept on the side of the road, or some­times
in people's bams," he recalled.
After excursions to the North, South,
East and West, the young couple decided
to remain in Alabama.
"Alabama's got everything, and more
of it. All we've got to do is develop it,
get it growing," Miller explained.
Miller worked hard, and even learned
the barbering trade for the extra cash it
provided. (He charged 10 cents for a shave
and 15 cents for a haircut.) But he also
got mixed up in a moonshining venture and
ended up in an Atlanta penitentiary.
Eight months later, Miller was out on
good behavior. A favorite uncle persuaded
him to join the Church of Christ-("My
mother and father were hardshell Bap­tists!")
and the Ku Klux Klan.
"I thought they were good Christian
people," he said. It wasn't long before a
disillusioned Miller quit the Klan when he
realized the Klan "really worked on poor
people although they never bothered the
wealthy."
. Angry Klansmen gave Miller, then in his
mid-30's, a "dressing"-a severe beating
with a four-inch wide leather strap with
holes cut in it.
Despite several brushes with the Klan,
Miller managed to avoid serious trouble
until four years ago. By then, he had built
a $25-a-week business into a combined
feed mill-cotton gin-farm store in Luverne
which grossed some $800,000 annually.
The son of one of his employees was
the first to integrate a formerly all-white
junior high school. Klansmen visited^Mil­ler
and demanded that he fire the father
immediately. When Miller refused, the
Klan threatened both Miller and the father.
According to Miller, the Klan organized
a statewide boycott against him that took
away 65 per cent of his feed mill business
and 75 per cent of business at the cotton
gin.
Miller had little cash reserves on hand
to withstand the boycott: profits either
went back into the business or into such
projects as buying 34 farm wagons (cost:
$17,000) for the use of area farmers or help­ing
his employees finance their own homes.
Although 17 farmers have returned,
shamefaced, to do business with Miller,
the boycott still threatens to destroy Mil­ler's
dream of helping people in Crenshaw
County rise above a poverty-level exis­tence.
For several years before the boycott,
Miller had been planning the organization
of SHARES (for Self Help and Rural Eco­nomic
Support), a corporation that Would
take over complete operation of his busi­ness
enterprise.
Members of the corporation were to in­clude
small farmers in parts of Crenshaw,
Butler, Coffee, Covington, Lowndes, Mont­gomery
and Pike counties. The idea behind
the corporation, Miller explained, is to
give small farmers enough income and as­sistance
to stop them from migrating to
big city slums.
His present financial straits have tem­porarily
dimmed the once-bright prospects
for SHARES. But Miller isn't about to give
up.
"If I get discouraged," he coughed to
hide a catch in h i s voice, "I say my
prayers." And he hastily stopped the prog­ress
of several big tears with a wrinkled
white handkerchief.
Peep s--a new gathering place for students
Friday, January 22,1971 9- THE AUBURN PUINSVU*
By Martha Evans
Plainsman Features Editor
The dimly lit room was
almost empty except for
two or three customers sit­ting
on stools at the coun­ter.
A little boy careened
around tables and chairs, a
blue balloon clutched pos­sessively
in one fist.
"Warner opened this
place so he could make e-nough
money to buy a Cadil­lac
and a castle in England,"
a friend drawled, rocking
his straight-backed chair
up and back in time to the
music, loud in the deserted
room.
"I'd settle for one in
Germany," Warner Britton,
20-year-old proprietor of
Peeps, countered.
"We're doing this to get|
through school," Britton's
wife, Donna, 1 GHY, ex-

BANDS JAM WHILE STUDENTS SIT ON THE FLOOR AT PEEP'S
plained in a more down-to-earth
voice. She bounced
their son, two-year-old Paul,
on her lap for a minute but
soon he impatiently wiggled
to the floor.
The name Peeps is a
shortened version of Paul's
nickname, Peepers.
"We used to call him
Peepers because he has
such big eyes," Donna, 20,
said.
At night, Paul goes home
to bed and Peeps, located'
on the Opelika Highway, be­gins
to fill with people-freaks,
straights and a
sprinkling of professors and
townspeople.
Soon the people outnum­ber
the chairs, but the cus­tomers
don't seem to mind
the lack of conventional
seating.
They sit in a semicircle
around the band on an ade­quate,
but unsoft, red rug,
listening contentedly while
the band plays and striking
up conversations when the
band goes on break.
The Beggar's Opera, a
band which features Brit­ton,
3GPG , as lead singer,
performs frequently at Peeps,
and sometimes other bands
come in and volunteer to
perform without pay.
Conceit Choir to present season debut
THE SEASON DEBUT of the Auburn University Concert
Choir, under the direction of Dr. Terrance A. Anderson, will
be Wednesday at 8:15 p.m. in the Union Ballroom. Admission
is free and open to the public.
The 89-voice Concert Choir is comprised of students from
every major department of the University and is open to all
students through auditions.
The first half of the program will be dedicated to works
of Benjamin Britten. His "A Ceremony of Carols," Opus
28 pays homage to the holy birth. The language of the poe­try
is Old English that has been somewhat modified in per­formance
to facilitate a clearer understanding of the dic­tion.
Rebecca Miller and Connie May will be the featured so­pranos
with Carolyn Brown, Catherine Newman, and Mar-jorie
Tyre, a member of the music department faculty, as
'rt vo
harpists.
The Chamber Choir, a smaller group drawn from the per­sonnel
of the Concert Choir, will then .perform Claude De­bussy's
"Trois Chansons De Charles D'Orleans" with
Dorothy Darmer, featured mezzo-soprano, and "Psalm 67"
by Charles Ives.
"Magnificat" by Halsey Stevens will feature John White
on trumpet and Joel Williams on piano. "Magnificat" was
commissioned by the national scholastic honorary music fra­ternity,
Pi Kappa Lambda, for the North Texas State Univer­sity
Choir in 1963. Its musical style reflects a blending of
lyrical romanticism with the somewhat "clashing" sounds
of unresolved dissonances and irregular metric patterns.
The program will conclude with three American folk song
sketches by Gail Kubik and two Negro spirituals by William
Dawson. William Wilbourne, baritone, will be soloist in one
of the spirituals, "Every Time I Feel the Spirit."

"Individual kids get up
and play too, usually guitar
or harmonica. The audience
has been real nice-they
seem to appreciate the mu­sic,"
Britton said.
Britton found out in mid-
September that the site where
Peeps is now located was
available for rent.
A friend, Ted Kloss, 4ID,
helped plan the interior of
Peeps and donated an old-fashioned
hanging light
fixture.
One of Kloss' ideas was
to tear down the ceiling so
that the beams would be
exposed.
"The ceiling was low
with very dirty white plas­ter
and bare fluorescent
bulbs," Britton pointed
upward at the beams. "We
tore it down and I rented a
paint sprayer."
His mother and other
friends donated chairs.
The lack of a health per­mit
created a minor disaster
when Peeps first opened
a month and a half ago. Ex­pecting
to get the license
with no trouble, the Brittons
bought and cooked a large
quantity of barbecue to sell
to their first customers.
Unexpectedly denied the
permit because the kitchen
floor was cracked in places-they
have since installed
a new floor-they couldn't
sell the food, so they gave
it away to surprised cus­tomers.
When they do get the per­mit,
the plan is to serve

different kinds of sand­wiches
at first, eventually
progressing to one-dish
meals such as spaghetti.
Peeps now offers beer,
soft drinks and potato chips
for sale, with Joe Perry,
3GSY, operating the coun­ter
since neither Britton nor
Donna are old enough to
sell beer.
Britton expects the food
to lure more people into
Peeps in the early after­noon,
now a slack time in
the Monday through Saturday
schedule of opening at 2
p.m. and closing "when
everybody goes home."

'I got the BEST deal

TIGER COMES OUT FIRST AGAIN!
Last week we told you about the Edgar B.
Jackson family and how they discovered
that Tiger Motor's deal couldn't be topped
anywhere they shopped. Thomas J. Tallon
Jr. had the same experience. He and his
wife made the rounds of car dealers in
Lee County, in Columbus, Ga., and in St.
Petersburg, Fla.—their hometown. "Tiger
Motor Co. offered us the best deal," Mr.
Tallon said. "We especially liked the at­tractive
financing and the trade-in dif­ference."
In the photo, Mr. Tallon, who will gradu­ate
in veterinary medicine at Auburn Uni­versity
in June, receives the keys to his
1971 Mercury Marquis Colony Park station
wagon from Tiger Motor salesman Gene
Ma La in. His wife, Correen Gail, holds their
2Mi-month-old son. Mrs. Tallon had a hand
in her husband's education as a Uniroyal
employee until last August. She's excited
about the new car—and mighty pleased with
Tiger's money-saving deal!

Monday's arts film to star Orson Welles
THE FINE ART FILM to
be shown in Langdon Hall
Monday at 8 p.m. is "The
Immortal Story." Admission
is free.
Orson Welles co-produced,
directed, wrote and stars in
this adaptation of an Isak
Dine sen story. Welles plays
a pompous and wealthy Eu­ropean
businessman living
in Macao; a man whose idea
of relaxation is to have his
account books read to him.
To satisfy his vain belief
in his own power, the man
decides to make an old sea
tale come true. It's a tale
told by many sailors in many
ports: that one night a rich
old man who has no children
approaches the sailor and
offers to pay him well for
spending the night with the
man's young wife so he will
have an heir.
Welles, who has no wife,
instructs his bookeeper (Ro­ger
Coggio) to find a woman
willing to play the role, and
the clerk convinces a not-so
young lady of uncertain vir­tue
(Jeanne Moreau) to take
the part.
Welles locates a hand­some
sailor in town, brings
him to the estate and per-

The action involves the

suades him to make love to
Moreau. The next morning,
pleased with his success,
Welles relates the legend
to the sailor and bids him
to tell the tale to others, for
he is the only one who can
tell it in truth.
But the young seafarer,
genuinely moved by the ex­perience,
replies he will not
repeat the story since no
one would believe it any­how.
This film does not present
Welles in his grand old
style, but in a pensive and
older-than-God mood. It is
a story-telling film about
story-telling. The eternal
conflict is between the sto­ryteller
and reality, and
Welles has used it to make
an intriguing picture.
Ratcliff Dance Theatre to show
how dance communicates
THE CARL RATCLIFF
Dance Theater will perform
in the Union Ballroom Tues­day
at 8:15 p.m. Admission
is free and open at the pub­lic.
The Dance Theater demon­strates
how various sources
of movement are explored,
showing how movement be­comes
dance and how dance
communicates.
Carl Ratcliff, associate
director of the Atlanta Bal­let,
formed the Dance Thea­ter
because he felt the need
for dance to speak out in a
more personal, human way.
By selecting intimate forms
of dance, the dancers use
movement to communicate.
They feel free to explore
any subject that provokes
a need for comment.
The dance company, con­sisting
of only four dancers,
is the recipient of a 1970-71
grant from the National En-downment
for Arts in Wash­ington,
D. C.
Carl Ratcliff's successes
in every major dance media
speak for themselves-mo-vies,
television, clubs and
stage. Ratcliff concentrates,
his experience and artistic
abilities as a dancer, cho­reographer
and designer on
modern works which have re­ceived
national recognition
and have added a new di­mension
to the repertoire
of The Atlanta Ballet.
The other members of
the Dance Theater-Teena
Mohr, Virginia Barnett and
Donna Rizzo-are all dis­tinguished
members of the
Atlanta Ballet.
The performance of the
Carl Ratcliff Dance Theater
is being sponsored by the
Fine Arts Committee of the
Auburn Union.

in 100 hours a week, seven
days a week, has it made."
