AWS off-campus housing,
curfew changes approved
By John Samford
Plainsman Editor-elect
Two of three recommenda­tions
recently submitted by
Associated Women Students
were approved Tuesday by
Pres. Harry M. Philpott giving
sophomore women with pa­rental
permission the no-curfew
privilege and juniors
with permission the freedom
to live off campus beginning
fall quarter.
In a meeting with AWS Pres.
Anita Page, President Philpott
said that the third recommenda­tion,
which would allow women
living in dormitories the option
of eating in dining halls or not
purchasing meal tickets, could
not be approved at the present
time because of "a number of
serious complications."
"Such a recommendation,"
said President Philpott, "will
be taken into consideration as a
part of a thorough examination
of our food service operation
which we will undertake this
summer and fall.
"The full implications of this
change will require greater
investigation than has been
made, including such matters
as the fiscal soundness of our
program, the type of service to
be offered and the continued
operation of the present facili­ties,"
he said.
Miss Page stated that she was
"extremely pleased"with Pres­ident
Philpott's announcement.

University budget
requests $ 78 million
By Brenda Maynor
Plainsman Staff Writer
"There was not an air of
optimism for increased sup­port
in the near future," stated
Director of University Rela­tions
Herbert White, when the
Auburn budget was presented
before the Joint BudgetCom-mittee
of the Alabama Legis­lature
by Pres. Hairy M. Phil­pott
on March 4.
Auburn's request received
this cool reception in the com­mittee
hearing because this
amount will be hard to finance
unless state tax revenues show
sufficient normal growth due to
economic prosperity.
At this point information is at
a minimum until May 25, when
Governor Wallace will present
his overall state budget to the
legislature, he said.
Auburn's budget requested $78
million for operating expenses
for the two-year period ending
Sept. 30. 1973. During the fis­cal
year 1971-72, $36.8 million
has been allocated representing
a $15 million increase over the
appropriation for 1970-71. For
1972-73, the allocation of $40.9
million includes an additional
increase of $4.1 million for rising
operational expenses.
The University has also re­quested
$24.8 million for major
building and capitalimprovements
to the main campus and the cam-

dies in wreck
Wednesday
Thelma Faye Keith, 6GEH,
was killed Wednesday night
in a two-car collision on the
intersection of Drake Avenue
and Sanders Street at approxi­mately
9:45 p.m.
Mrs. Keith, a graduate stu­dent
here, is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Guy ton of
Auburn. She was married March
14 to Windell Ray Keith, a fifth-year
student in the School of
Architecture and Fine Arts.
Mrs. Keith was a passenger
in a Volkswagon van driven by
her husband. A car driven by
Frank McAlister, 362 W. Mag­nolia
Ave., struck the van on
the right-hand side, and the im­pact
threw Mrs. Keith to the
street. She was pinned beneath
the wreck and police released
her. She was pronounced dead on
arrival at Lee County Hospital.
Police reported that appar­ently
the Keith car was traveling
west on Drake and the McAlister
vehicle was moving south on
Sanders St. when the accident
occured.
pus at Montgomery.
The governor will ink a de­ciding
decision oh the Auburn
budget and to other public school
budgets throughout Alabama when
he and his fiscal advisers decide
on the amount which can be in­corporated
into the state budget
for public education.
After the governor's budget is
presented to the legislature, fur­ther
revisions may take place in
the Joint Committee-composed
of members of the Senate Finance
and T a x a t i o n Committee, the
Ho.ise Ways and Means Committee,
the lieutenant governor and the
speaker of the house.

The budget, presented under
four main divisions, includes
$52.8 million for the Instructional
Division of the main campus,
$4.8 million for the operation
of the Montgomery campus and
$10.1 million each for the Re­search
and the Extension Di­visions.
The Instruction Division is
responsible for the operation,
maintenance, and support of the
main campus and the Montgomery
branch. The Research Division
operates agricultural and engine­ering

$10.1 million request in this area
includes an increase of $1.1 mil­lion

mendation was submitted to
President Philpott asking for
self-regulated hours for sopho­mores,
juniors and seniors.
Seniors were granted self-regulated
hours beginning fall
quarter of this year under a key
system. Under the system, a
coed with no-curfew permission
signs "key" on her in-and-out
card if she plans to return to the
dormitory before 10 a.m. the
following morning and checks
out a key to the front door of
the building which allows her to
enter the dormitory at any time
during the night.
The AWS Legislative Council
voted last September to resub­mit
their original proposal since
the privileges they requested
had only been granted to
seniors.
President Philpott extended
no-curfew privileges to juniors
with parental permission in
November, effective winter
quarter.
The key system has worked
"quite well" for juniors and
seniors according to President
Philpott, and will be continued
for the time being.
Permission forms for sopho­mores
will be available in the
dormitories before the end of
this quarter.
Several otner minor rule
changes recently recommended
to Dean of Women Katharine
Cater were also approved this
week.
According to the new rules,
freshman coeds will no longer
be required to pass a test on
women's rules as they have
been in the past and with the
exception of freshman convoca­tion
attendance will not be
required at any AWS convoca­tions.
'71 Glomerate
distribution
begins Tuesday
The 1971 issue of the Glom-erata
will be distributed Tues­day
through Friday in the basement
of the Auburn Union from 8 a.m.
until noon and from 1 to 5 p.m.
The Glom, which is paid for
from Student Activity Fees, is
free upon presentation of ID
cards to students who have been
enrolled at Auburn for any three
of the last four school quarters.
Students who have not been
enrolled for the necessary time
may obtain theirs by paying
$1.50 for each quarter of the
three they have not been in
school.
Strong winds accom-r/
flfsbcr-r-r panied heavy rains this
week as spring thunder­storms
cleared the sundecks. Several large

in the area.
Student Financial Aid programs
suffer from cutback of funds
Two student financial as­sistance
programs for stu­dents
at Auburn have been
critically affected for the sum­mer
quarter due to cutbacks
in federal funds, Charles S.
Roberts, director of Student
Financial Aid, has announced.
Roberts stated that the Work-
Study Program by which students
with financial need are employed
part-time on campus has been
cancelled for the summer quar­ter.
The program receives 80
per cent funding from the De­partment
of Health, Education
and Welfare.
"We had expected around
$150,000 for the six-month pe­riod
of July 1 to December 31.
We actually received $47,000,or
29 per cent of the amount we
had anticipated," Roberts said.
Roberts noted that the Work
Study Program in previous sum­mers
at Auburn has cost approxi­mately
$70,000. "There is no
possible way to run a Work Study
Program this summer in view of
this
The Office of Financial Aid
had already approved 150 stu­dents
for part-time Work Study
assistance and 50 for full-time
for the summer of 1971. These
are being cancelled, according
to Roberts.
In addition, the National De­fense
Student Loan program
will be limited only to those
students who are graduating
in August, Roberts stated.
This will amount to a re­duction
of approximately 75 per
cent in the number of students
who will receive NDSL assist­ance,
Roberts stated.
' 'We felt that we had to can­cel
NDSL because, although
these funds were not cut as
severely, in order to have a
program for the beginning of the
regular academic year in the
fall, we would have to carry over
the money we would have spent
for the summer period." heex-plained.
"A crucial matter arising
from this cutback is the effect
this will have on all students
in Alabama who are graduating
from high school this year and
will need financial assistance.
Auburn has received approxi­mately
6,000 applications for
financial aid for the next year,
according to Roberts. "If fund­ing
cuts remain in effect, we
will not be able to serve more
than 1,500 of them."
Pres. Philpott defends
transfer of athletic hinds
Pres. Harry M. Philpott has
issued a statement saying
that the implication in recent
reports that "any impropriety
was involved" in the transfer
of $30,544 from the Athletic
Department to the Alumni
Association," was erroneous
and most regrettable."
A report in The Birmingham
Post-Herald said Tuesday that
University Business Manager W.
T. Ingram had returned the
funds to the Athletic Department
after being notified by state
examiners that such a transfer
of funds was illegal. The state
examiners claimed that the
Alumni Association is a private
organization and is not subject
to state audit and control.
President Philpott, in explain­ing
the problem, stated that
the Athletic Department has
transferred a portion of its
profits from concessions sales
to the Alumni Association for
the past 16 years. These funds,
he said, are used to cover
expenses for the numerous
expenses incurred by the as­sociation
while performing
services for the Athletic Depart­ment.
The Athletic Department
handles all mail-order tickets
for alumni and maintains many
of the records for the department.
Although the Alumni As­sociation
is not technically a
department of the University, it
works closely with the Athletic
Department and its accounts
are subject to University
control and audit.
Until a final decision is
reached in the matter, no more
payments will be made to the
Alumni Association.
The office of the tehief exam­iner
of public accounts in
Montgomery said that it could
not comment on the matter at
this time.
Officials want laws to protect bike riders
Bicycles are becoming a big problem in
BiCVCleS Auburn as more and more students resort
* to a pollution-free, inexpensive method
of travel. Those shown above are parked on the sidewalk and
have inadequate lights and reflectors for nighttime use.
By Royce Harrison
Plainsman Staff Writer
An increase in the number of bicycles in
Auburn is causing concern among campus
security officials and city councilmen, wha
suggest that laws are needed to protect the
bicyclists.
Campus Police Chief M. E. Dawson esti­mated.'
that there are between 300 and 400
bicycles operated by University students-an
increase of 50 per cent over last year-and
the number is growing. There have been
no serious accidents recently, he said, but
commented, "We need a basic set of rules
for the protection of the bicyclists so there
will be no accidents. We've just been lucky
so far."
"What are most needed are lights and re­flectors
on bicycles ridden at night. It would
also help if c y c l i s t s would wear light-colored
clothing," he said.
State law requires every bicycle in use at
nighttime to be equipped with a headlamp
visible at 500 feet, and a red reflector on
the rear of the bike.
Dr. Hugh Reagan, chairman of the city's
Public Safety Committee, said he had re­ceived
complaints from a number of drivers
who almost hit bicyclists riding down the
street at night without lights. "Make no
mistake," he said, "although it's not law
here, you're supposed to ride your bike in
the street and not on the sidewalk, and it's
a dangerous thing to ride at night without
proper lighting."
Reagan said his committee will study the
bicycle situation next month with the idea
of implementing laws to protect cyclists.
He said he doesn't know what the com­mittee
will come up with, but feels sure it
won't be in the form of restrictions against
bicycles or against riding them on sidewalks,
except in the downtown area.
Another problem caused by the increased
number of bicycles is where to park them.
Chief Dawson said, "If a bicycle has a
kickstand, it should be used so as not to
block sidewalks or damage shrubbery. We
may have to see about designating certain
areas for parking bicycles, and place racks
there, too."
He also said that the same traffic laws
that apply to automobile drivers, apply to
bicyclists. "Things like p a s s i n g on the
right, running red lights and stop signs, and
not using turn signals occur all the time, but
they are against the law."
Title 36, section 58 (20-26) of the Alabama
Code lists state laws pertaining to bicycles.
Among them are the following: bicycles must
be equipped with a d e q u a t e brakes, they
must be operated on bike paths adjacent to
roadways if such paths are provided, and
when ridden on public roadways, must be
ridden on the right side.

New physician recruited
for Drake Infirmary staff
By Carmel Parsons
Plainsman Staff Writer
Dr. Paul J. Kalla, a native
of Fairview Park, Ohio, and
a graduate of St. Louis Uni­versity,
is a new doctor at
Drake Infirmary, joining Dr.
William Turk and Dr. Byron
Knapp.
Having lived in the North
all of his life, this is Dr.
Kalla's first exposure tothe>
South and Southern people.
"Hike the South," he ex­plained.
"Things move at a
much slower pace here. That
is one of the reasons I chose
to come to Auburn. I wanted
to move away from the North­ern
climate."
Dr. Kalla visited Auburn
last February in answer to an
advertisement published by
Dr. Turk, director of the In­firmary.
He was impressed
with the charm of a small
community and decided to
give up his private practice
to work here.
"Of course coming here,"
he said, "is a deviation from
private practice, but it is a
deviation I find interesting
and enjoyable." The infir­mary
is adequate in many
ways but inadequate from a
professional point of view.
We have three doctors here
now but really five would
give the students the type
of care they deserve."
Doctor Kalla believes the
creation of free student ser­vices
is a very good idea.
"I can see where the trend
toward socialized medicine
is rising," he said. "It's
very good for college cam­puses
because it saves the
student from a financial point
of view, but whether it will
become a practice of the en­tire
United States is hard to
answer."
The inclination to become
a doctor was very strong in
Doctor Kalla's childhood. It
subsided until he was in­jured
while serving in the in­fantry
in World War Two. "I
was lying in the hospital
surrounded by doctors giving
treatment to the other in­jured,"
he said. "It was
then I knew I was to become
a doctor."
Kalla feels himself old-fashioned
in many respects.
When asked if he thought free
distribution of birth control
pills will ever come to the
Auburn campus he replied,
"I can't see where thatday
will ever come." Birth con­trol
pills are not harmless.
They can be hazardous,
more so than the pregnancy
itself. Birth control should
be a personal thing between,
patient and physician and
not expanded into a group
thing where pills are freely
given out.
"I understand too that it is
against the University's
policy to prescribe birth con­trol
pills. That is the way
it should be. The University
should not be held respon­sible
for the effects of birth
control pills, no matter how
badly a girl needs them."
On the subject of abor- •
tions Kalla said, "Being a
physician, I am convinced
that no matter how theycolbr
it, abortion is taking a life
and is a crime. The defini­tion
of life is possessing
movement; life does not start
when a baby is born, and for
that reason I don't condone
abortion."

Evangelist holds
revival May 9-15
By Jim Weldon
Plainsman Staff Writer
Bill Sauer, 25-year old
evangelist, brought his six-day
"Crusade for Christ"
to Auburn last Sunday night.
Described by his promoters
in the need for a "spiritual
reawakening" he urged the
congregation to "share the
faith" with others.
At the close of the ser­vice,
he requested that those
who had "accepted Christ"
Central Baptist Church. State
Representative Pete Turnham
of Auburn is serving as head
of the finance committee for
the Crusade. The Crusade,
described as a "transdenomin-ational
effort," is being sup-as
"one of the most dynamic^ome^efore the congregation ported by 40different churches
young evangelists to appear
dn the American, scene in the"
past decade," Sauer was
sponsored by the East Al­abama
Crusade for Christ,
a group of 40 churches in
the East Alabama area.
The revival, which is being
held this week in Duck Sam-ford
Park, began with an open­ing
message from Auburn
Mayor James Haygood, who
extended official greetings
from the cities of Opelika
and Auburn to the audience.
Bill Sauer was then intro­duced
as the "young evange­list
with that Billy Graham
vitality/' Sauer recently
completed a two-year tour
of duty with the Army and
became a "full-time evange­list."
He graduated from the
University of Tulsa prior to
his military service.
"God's Solution to the
World-Spiritual Awakening"
was the sermon presented to
the crowd of approximately
3,000. Throughout the sermon,
Sauer stressed the "rele­vancy
of God's teachings in
everyday life."
Telling the crowd that
"most people give God only
lip service." Sauer said that
the only way back to God is
through prayer and humility,
and the only hope for this
country is God."
He emphasized that apathy
is the greatest sin afflicting
man. After stressing a belief
to make a public affirmation
of -fait*. About 75" people
accepted this invitation.
General chairman for the
Crusade for Christ is Bill
Dixon, pastor of Opelika's
in Lee and surrounding coun­ties.
Mike Kolen, former Auburn
All-America linebacker,
was scheduled to speak Mon­day
night.
Committee to present
budget studies Tuesday
The Student Senate Bud­get
and Finance Committee
will present a formal recom­mendation
of Student Acti­vity
Fund allocations at a
regular senate meeting Tues­day.
The ten-member com­mittee
has been studying re­quests
for funds from campus
organizations for the past
two weeks.
Each year the Student
Senate is responsible foral-locating
revenue collected
from the Student Activity
Fee, an assessment of $5.50
per student. This year, the
senate can allocate approxi-mately,
$259,000, about
$31,000 less than last year.
Ken Farmer, chairman of
the committee, said that most
requests were cut "consi­derably"
because of lack of
funds. Farmer said that he
"regretted" having to curtail
so many requests, but the
committee had "no alterna­tive."
Jimmy Blake, senator from
the School of Arts and Sci­ences,
said that "the most
popular activities were cut
the least." "We tried to de­termine
what activities were
of the most value to the
majority of students," said
Blake.
Although there was a
"great deal of lobbying,"
Farmer said the committee
started economizing by ap­proving
no salary increases.
The committee's report
Tuesday will include expla­nations
concerning the allo­cation
of funds. Members of
the Budget and Finance Com­mittee
are: Farmer, Blake,
Suzette Lauber, education;
Jody McClinton, off-campus;
Rob Loftin, off-campus;
Bobby Keen, graduate school;
Gail Cook, south women's
dorms; Doug Sittason, en­gineering;
Louis Adams,
veterinary medicine and
Jeannette Milton, lower wo­men's
dorms.

It's horse show time again
at Auburn.
Members of the Block and
Bridle Club are making last
minute arrangements for their
11th annual Quarter Horse
show, scheduled for Saturday,
at the new Wire Road Arena.
Something different this year
will be night performance
events, according to show
chairman Galen Grace , 3PH ,
with installation of arena
lights being completed in time
for the show.
The students are keeping
an eye on the weather as
they work toward surpassing
last year's 187 entries that
qualified the show for Class
"B" rating by the American
Quarter Horse Association.
Good weather could help the
group on their efforts to
push into the "A" clas­sification,
commented chair­man
Grace and Club president
Frank McEwen, 3AH.
Making the show particular­ly
attractive to the many out-of-
state participants is the
opportunity for two shows in
two days. The Bartlett Show
in Montgomery is scheduled
for Sunday, following the
Auburn Show. Both are
recognized by the American
Quarter Horse Association.
Judging of halter classes
at 1 p.m. Saturday kicks off
the Auburn event. There are
classes for different age
stallions, mares, and geld­ings,
as well as get-of-sire
and produce-of-dam.
Traditional performance
events that are crowd
pleasers include roping,
reining, barrell racings,
western pleasure, cutting,
and pole bending. These
begin at 6:30 p.m.
Judging both halter and
performance competition will
be Dr. Frederick Harper, of
Rutgers University, New
Brunswick, N.J. Judge of the
Montgomery show will be Dr.
James K. Kiser, Iowa State
University, Ames.
Auburn Postmaster J. G.
Hitchcock said today vending
machines and self-service
postal units in Auburn are
being adjusted to dispense
the new stamps required
under the new postal rate in­crease,
effective Sunday. •
The new rates have been
placed into effect temporarily,
pending completed action on
a permanent rate increase
proposal being considered by
M the Postal Rate Commission.
Temporary rate increases are
< authorized under the Postal
Reorganization Act of 1970.
Hitchcock said the Postal
Service intends to make the
transition to the new rates in
an orderly fashion, with a
minimum of inconvenience to
the public.
Under the new rate in­crease,
the price of a first-class
stamp will be eight
cents. The air mail stamp
goes to 11 cents. Thus, the
six-cent, first-class and 10-
cent air mail stamps will be
discontinued.
In addition to eight and 11-
cent stamps, many vending
machines will dispense one-cent
stamps.

A.H. Swope is caretaker of the huge clock in Samford Hall.
He and the clock are jointly responsible for keeping students
and townspeople on time. Swope" is shown adjusting thewood
hands on the clock which his grandfather installed in 1889.
Stories recall Samford clock history
The old clock in Samford tower is now only responsible
for bonging out the hour and keeping faithful time on its
four huge, white faces.
It wasn't always that way, and the present caretaker of
the 82-year-old timepiece, A. H. Swope, 63, recalls the
stories that make up the history of the clock housed in
Samford's tower.
Chapel attendance was compulsory until the 1930's and
the bell rang out the hour for daily church services. Stu­dents
lined up outside the chapel, now Langdon Hall, for
roll call and then marched in for services.
The bell was rung by hand to awaken the Student ^rmy
Training Corps located on the campus during World War I,
Swope says, recalling the stories told him by the former
clock caretaker. A frayed and rotting remnant is all that
is left of the heavy bell rope that once was pulled from
several stories below to ring out reveille for soldiers and
chapel hours for students.
Until electric bells were installed in class buildings,
the tower bell punctuated class periods each hour. Now,
when faulty electric bells allow class hours to run over,
Samford's clock still bongs out trusty reference to the
hour, cutting short the long-winded instructor.
The climb into the tower winds through the attic of
Samford and up rickety stairs into the lofts of the tower.
The huge solid brass bell, now green-black after weathering
in the open tower, weighs 4,200 pounds.
"My grandfather, John F. Heard, installed the clock and
the bell in the tower in 1889," Swope said. "He used a
portable steam engine to hoist the bell up the six stories
to the tower."
Swope, who began working with the Building and Grounds
Department 26 years ago, took over maintenance of the clock
after it had been electrified. "But before I came, the clock
had to be wound by hand, and the weights that pulled the
works of the clock hung two stories."
The works of the clock are housed on their own platform,
Local boards limited
to draff number 725
directly below the bell loft. The wheels of the clock mec­hanism
shine a brassy golden-green, set in a dark green
metal frame standing almost four feet high. Since the clock
was electrified in 1941, it is operated by a synchronous
electric motor, looking absurdly small in a metal box not
more than five inches square.
"All the parts are the original, except, of course, for
the motor," Swope pointed out. Although the weights are
no longer used, the tall wooden sheaths which housed them
are still standing.
Inside the clock loft, looking at the back sides of the
faces, the size of the actual clock faces is impressive.
The "XII" figures on each face lift out and leave a space
just large enough to reach out and touch the wooden hands,
a stool must be used to look out the small opening, since
the faces are exactly six feet high.
The bell tower stands above the leafy canopy of trees in
Samford park like a tree-house. Long, screened windows
set in the handmade bricks make a sunshiny, wind-swept
home for the bell and clock. "My grandfather built the sup­ports
to hold the bell," Swope said. "The wood is several
inches thick and as strong as the day it was installed in
1889."
The beams which hold the bell are carved with the in­itials
of young lovers and the catchy names of students
from many years ago, when the tower was open to visitors.
The bell is inscribed with the bell's birthdate, 1889, and
engraved with Alabama Polytechnic Institute, the University's
former name, on the opposite side.

Students polled approve of WE6L
By Alice Murray
Plainsman Staff Writer
"It's great" is a common
reaction of many students
when asked about WEGL,
the new campus radio sta­tion.
Among 25 students
interviewed this week,
most stated an overwhelming
approval of WEGL.
Every student questioned
thought the station was doing
a good job except one who
said, "I don't know,I don't
have an FM radio."
The student-operated sta­tion.,
located at 91.1 on the

All Civitans Club
promotes citizenship
By Alice Murray
Plainsman Staff Writer
The Auburn Collegiate
Civitans Club is working
to live up to its motto of
"Builders of Good Citi­zenship"
Debbie Estes,
1PB, president of the newly-chartered
organization stated.
Since receiving its char­ter
April 7, the club has
been sponsoring a tutoring
program, is planning a work
party tomorrow at an ele­mentary
school, and a picnic
on May 23 for underprivil­eged
children.
The tutoring program in­volves
helping members of
the community and students
who need instruction in
fields such as math and
English.
Tomorrow's work party at
Boykin Street Elementary
School will see club members
cutting grass, painting, and
' 'odd-jobbing'' what Principal
Eldon Johnson has planned
for them.
There are 30 members in
the Auburn Club. It is a part
of the newly-organized Al­abama-
Central District that
includes nine other clubs
at various colleges, totaling
172 members.
Boyd Scebra, assistant
to the dean of education
and Jerry Cook, director of
Magnolia Dormitories, are
the Senior Civitan Club ad­visers.
There will be a rush party
for freshmen fall quarter
and those who were active
in Junior Civitan in high
schools will be contacted
by letter, Miss Estes said.
The dates for scheduled
meetings fall quarter will
be announced in September.
Circular encourages
boycott of theater
A circular encouraging
students to boycott the
showing of "2001: A Space
Odyssey" at the Village
Theater was distributed
Wednesday on campus.
Entitled "Don't Be Taken
In," the circular claimed
that "the Village Theater
has acquired the rights to
show the film, thus elim­inating
it as a free Union
movie 1"
Don Stone, manager of the
Village Theater, said that
the contents of the circular
were "prettycrummy." Stone
said the Village had "no
connection whatsoever" with
the scheduling or cancella­tions
of free Union movies.
Don Cosper, chairman of
the Union Entertainment
Committee, said that "2001"
had been scheduled for last
weekend, but was cancelled
by the firm that supplies
movies for campus use.
"The promoters must have
felt that the film was still
good for commercial show­ing,"
said Cosper.
Cosper said that the Union
had received letters from
local theaters complaining
that the Union was "taking
away some of their busi­ness."
"We ignored the let­ters,"
said Cosper.
"2001" will play through
Saturday a; the Village.

One student said she was
"surprised, almost shocked
about how professional the
station is. It doesn't insult
your intelligence and it
seems to be on a higher
plane than anything else,"
she said.
All students questioned
were pleased with the lack
of commercials. "Having
no commercials makes the
station more enjoyable to
listen to, there are no cormy
advertisements to break
into the music and news,"
another student commented.
"The news reported per­tains
more to students and
things they are interested
in, such as the coverage of
the recent demonstrations
in Washington," another
student stated.
There was also a general
agreement that WEGL plays
a good variety of music.
Students in the survey felt
that there are enough kinds
of music played to reach
most people on campus.
Both praise and criticism
was heard for the hard rock
music played at night. Oro:
girl likes the station bust
at night when a great deal of
hard rock music is played.
Another disagreed. She felt
there is too much hard rock
at night, that it should be
mixed with other types of
music and not played
continously.
Four students specifically
questioned voiced their ap­proval
of the station's use
of Jimi Hendrix's version
of the National Anthem for
a sign-off.
All students commenting
about the station were
pleased with the overall
effectiveness and profes­sional
work of the station.

Straggle
The announcement by Pres. Harry
M. Philpott that sophomore women
with parental permission may have
self-regulated hours adds a little
more, but still not enough,strength
to the effort to, push this University
into 20th century society.
That this and other changes were
not greeted with any great enthusiasm
by students is no surprise. It is not
that changes are unwelcome or
unnecessary. Women's rules have
long been the major student grievance
here, and fall quarter is not a minute
too soon for a reasonable policy to
go into effect.
But two factors have squashed any
enthusiasm which might have ac­companied
the changes. First, they
have taken too long to happen.
Students have had to accept a
needlessly slow and tedious process
of change.
Secondly and more importantly,
it is impossible to ignore the ridicu­lously
simple fact that the struggle
for liberalization of women's rules,
in the proper perspective, is totally
irrelevant.
Why? Because there is no reason
whatsoever for women students to
be governed by any social rules which
do not also govern men students.
We congratulate the Associated
Women Students officers who have so
patiently sought changes which will
give Auburn women the chance to
walk rather than crawl.
Someday, perhaps they will run in
the pace of the times.
Pinch
The Student Senate's Budget and
Finance Committee is playing any­thing
but merry benefactor this week
in recommending allocations for the
Student Activities Fee.'
Times are hard. The projected
University enrollment and the amount
in project carry-over funds have
both dropped, probably as the in­direct
result of a tight economy.
Inevitably, there has been a $31,000
reduction in the total amount avail­able
to student activity projects.
Requests from student activity
projects this year exceed the amount
available to them by 29 per cent.
Last year, the difference was only
20 per cent.
For two weeks, the Budget and
Finance Committee has been meeting
almost nightly to grapple with the
unpleasant task of forcing ends to
meet. Decisions of where to slash,
where to cut, and where merely to
trim have not been quick or simple
ones, and we commend committee
members for their diligence and
patience.
The contributions which activity
projects will make to the college
experience at Auburn rests with the
wisdom of the members of the com-,
mittee.
We are among those projects which
are feeling the pinch. But we have
found two sources of hope for positive
improvement which could result from
the budget squeeze.
First, much of the padding which
has long been hidden in the budgets
of some projects is being stripped
away. Excessive travel allowances
and the traditional spring banquets
are two that no one will miss very
much.
Secondly, the students involved in
the allocations procedure are gaining
invaluable experience from feeling
the weight of responsibility which
accompanies the freedom of self-government.
And that's what it's all about.

Outlook Is Bleak
'
The news that two important
financial aid programs have been
severely cut. back is a stringent
reminder that the college education
we have been taking for granted may
be resuming its former status as a
luxury.
This summer, 200 students who
had relied on Work-Study jobs will
have to make other arrangements for
funds for summer school. And since
National Defense Student Loans will
be granted only to those students who
plan to graduate in August, more
students will undoubtedly have to
exclude summer school from their
plans.
The outlook for summer employment,
and for summer school, looks bleak for
many. But we can do little except
hope for a general economic upturn.
Glomerata Time
May is one of our favorite months
each year, not only because the end
of another school year comes into
sight, but because the Glomerata is
distributed.
This year's Glom, which will be
distributed beginning Tuesday, has a
new feature known as the "student
opinion" section. Geoff Ketcham,
editor, said that he has tried to "bring
together" the various groups on cam­pus
in this year's book.
"This year's is one in which all
students should find something to
identify with," he added.
We congratulate Ketcham and his
staff, as well as Business Manager
Burt Williams, for what promises to
be an excellent reflection of Auburn,
and we look forward to picking up our
copies next week-even if we have to
stand in line.

Philpott makes All happy
C-kt*.*%~ J«w-fi^ie-t J
VIETNAMIZATION
John Samford
Many Auburn students gain
their first personal contact
with President Philpott when
he hands them their diplomas
during the graduation cere­mony.
That is perhaps the greatest
disadvantage of attending a
university of Auburn's size.
Too many students are denied
the privilege of personally
knowing the man who is dri­ven
by a deep, sincere, abid­ing
interest in their welfare
and happiness.
President Philpott has said
it is a source of regret for
him that the demands of his
office leave so little time for
contact with students. Some
students find that hard to be­lieve,
and charge him with
purposely avoiding accessi­bility
to them.
Nothing could be more
wrong.
Upon his inauguration five
years ago, President Phil­pott
told The Plainsman
"there appears to be no gap
between students and ad­ministrators
here, no feeling
that students have one in­terest
and administrators
another, but rather a sense
that we are united in a co­operative
effort."
Last week, he said he
feels he could make that
same statement now, after
nearly six years in office.
For in spite of continuing
expressions of student dis­satisfaction
with various
University policies, there
have been no lasting schisms
within the University com­munity
during the Philpott
administration.
Overall, students and ad­ministrators
have worked to­ward
their respective goals
while maintaining a basic re­spect
for the opinions of
one another. And, as in the
area of women's rules, ef­fective
compromise has been
the frequent result.
Five years ago yesterday,
Governor Wallace presented
Dr. Philpott with the presi­dential
medallion of Auburn
University. One week ago
yesterday, SGA President
Jimmy Tucker presented Dr.
Philpott with a birthday cake
during one of his rap ses­sions
with students.
Haley Center notwith­standing,
that cake may mark
the most significant achieve­ment
of the Philpott adminis-tration-
the preservation of
Auburn as what the President
feels is "a very happy
place."
Because Auburn students
are not in the habit of pre­senting
birthday cakes in­discriminately,
they by that
gesture last Thursday in­dicated
that President Phil­pott
has helped make Auburn
a happy place for them, too.
Objective evaluations could solve misconceptions about South
Anyone who lives in the
South and has spent any
amount of time in other parts
of the country, can probably
testify to the misconceptions
about our area which run ram­pant
in the minds of those
who have never really seen
the South.
I spent the last two years
of my high school career at a
small prep school in a beauti­ful
section of New England
outside of Hartford, Connec­ticut.
The school was a center
for training would-be members
of the eastern intellectual
establishment. But I found it
difficult to classify many of
the students or faculty mem­bers
as intellectuals after
they revealed their complete
ignorance of the South through
some of the absurd questions
they asked.
When I arrived at the school
in September of 1966, I was
immediately a source of won­der
and amusement for many
of the students.
"Talk," many of them
would demand.
"What do you mean?" I
would ask.
"We want to hear your ac­cent."
"Haven't you ever heard a
Southern accent?" I would
ask.
"I've never heard anyone
talk like you."
It was fun for a few days.
And I made a lot of good
friends. But it wore off
quickly.
One day, after I had been
there just over a week, I was
sitting in a friend's room
listening to records when he
suddenly said, "What's it
really like down there?"
"Down where?"
"In Alabama-where you
live."
"What do you mean what's
it really like? What's it really
like here?"
"No-I mean about the
Negroes," he said, "What do
they do to them down there?"
"Nothing," I said. "What
do they do to them here?"
"You know what I mean,"
he said. "Tell me about the
Klan. Is your father a mem­ber?"
"Of course he is," I re­plied
calmly. "How could
anyone ever get anywhere if
he didn't belong to the Klan?
As soon as I get to be 21, I
can be initiated too."
The jerk fell for it. And he
never doubted me once as I
went on to tell him about our
plantation and about the 35
"darkies" that served us.
"Of course we don't pay
them," I said, "except for
room and board in our ser­vants'
quarters and a small
spending allowance. Negroes
don't expect to be paid. They
like to serve us and be taken
care of."
The poor guy was extremely
upset to find out over a week
later that I had really been
kidding. By that time he had
spread stories all over the
school about what Alabama
was "really like."
I got quite a kick out of
the joke. But the complete
ignorance of this particular
student and many others like
him never ceased to amaze
me.
Certainly the South is no
paradise where human rights
are concerned. But neither is
Hartford, where prejudice is
exemplified in incredible
ghettos, separate and very un­equal
educational facilities,
and a city government which
is fought for in every election
by warring ethnic camps.
Perhaps it's time that
those who live outside the
South should take a hard look
at what the South is really
like. Plantations and mint,
juleps are no more a part of
the modern South than they
are of any other section of the
country.
Evaluations of southern
institutions such as the one
found in this week's Perspec­tive
(this page). are not in
any way indicative of what
things are really like.
Anyone willing to make an
objective and open-minded
evaluation of the South, will
probably find that we aren't
as far behind as they may
have thought.

People talk too much, even about the 'renaissance of wonder'
Every once in a while, I
experience what Lawrence
Ferlinghetti calls a "renais­sance
of wonder."
It happens unexpectedly,
rarely.
I can be riding along in
my car when it will hit me:
This is America. I am in
America. And for a minute
I will see whatever place I
happen to be as though
through the eyes of a for­eigner.
Gas stations, cows, trees ,
the inevitable "Jesus saves"
signs (Or, worse, "Don't go
to hell to weep and wail
forever Jesus saves now),
shacks on a red clay road,
a four-lane highway lined
with billboards. . .this is
America.
Last week, an issue of
of National Geographic trig­gered
this renaissance of
wonder. (Wonder isn't always
a good feeling, I should add.)
A professor had recommended
the issue to me as a good
source of information about
pollution.
One picture showed a
traffic policeman in Japan
taking a whiff of pure oxygen
before returning to his beat.
Outside the oxygen station,
the air was grayish, unbear­able
even on the slick page
of a magazine.
The policeman was lucky,
according to the article.
He got his oxygen free.
Ordinary citizens must buy
oxygen from vending ma­chines.
I don't know whether my
occasional wonder at some
things is childish (derogatory)
or childlike (not derogatory).
At any rate, I feel Fer-linghetti-
like stirrings of
wonder at sunsets; wonder
that nature marks time in
such an eloquent way com­pared
to man's utilitarian
clocks and calenders.
(My own tickingtime
conscious brain often recoils
at the concept of time. . .
801, 8:07, 8:50. Does any­one
not have a clock, I
wonder?)
And wonder when, while
I am spooning enough cereal
into my stomach so it won't
growl during my eight o'clock
class, I discover two new
leaves, on the zebra plant
which shares my kitchen
table with the typewriter and
whatever dirty dishes I've
neglected to wash.
Sometimes this renais­sance
of wonder involves
people: wonder that someone
I like exists, that that person
likesme too.
Then there is the wonder
that I exist, that I am me,
that my hair grows, that I
talk, see, hear and think,
usually followed by a sudden
realization that I must cease
to exist.
The beauty of certain words
is wonderful-say kaleido­scope,
serendipity or renais­sance
out loud-but the
words themselves do not
cause a renaissance of won­der.
It is the fact that
people use words to com­municate,
that an animal
with four long legs and a
skinny neck is a giraffe in
English, a "twiga" in
Swahili and something else
in Russian or French.
Sometimes I wonder that
I cannot communicate with
words even to those people
who, like me, call a giraffe
a giraffe. That's when I want
to say, "Alright, go listen
to such and such a song. That
says what I mean. Or go read
what so and so wrote. He
writes better than I can
talk."
Or., I pull at my pigtails
and say nothing. People talk
too much anyway, even about
wonder.
'Auburn haven for ignorant, reactionary, racist'
This week's Perspective is re­printed
from the second edition of
the "Insider's Guide to the Col­leges,"
written and published by
the staff of the Yale Daily News,
Yale University.
Auburn is a very pleasant place to
go to school if you are ignorant, re­actionary
and racist. Located in Ala­bama,
in the heart of America's
Hatred Belt, Auburn is populated by
students from Alabama, Georgia, and
Tennessee, all of them rife with the
prejudices of the area in which they
live. Social change is coming to Au­burn,
to be sure, and some day the
school may even step into the nine­teenth
century, But for the moment,
Auburn is a haven for future members
of the Ku Klux Klan.
Part of Auburn's problem is that it
is a state school. As such, it is run
by the state legislature, and the state
legislature, starting in November, will
be run once again by the ubiquitous
George Corley Wallace. Hence the
school's president, who has given
vague hints of progressivism but who
has had to kowtow to racists in the'
l e g i s l a t u r e to win funds for the
school, will have to yield even fur­ther.
But one suspects that even as a
private institution, Auburn would be
no hotbed of moderation, let alone
liberalism. The school's political
atmosphere is so smug that virtually
the only (demonstrations in memorable
history have been panty raids. Au­burn
is, moreover, the sort of place
where in loco parentis is not only
official, but popular.
Socially, Auburn is dominated by
fraternities and football-an old story.
When Auburn lost its football eligi­bility
a few years back, for flagrant
recruiting violations, the entire cam­pus
deemed it a major disaster. Foot­ball
players, after all, still areBMOC,
especially among women, and the
academic reputation of the school
itself is dependent on a winning sea­son.
Fraternities, however, do provide
some social outlet for nonfootball
types and a mere, 80 percent of Auburn/
men belong. The interfraternity coun­cil
is trying to update its methods
and madnesses a little, but a, small
and growing cadre is bypassing fra­ternity
life nonetheless, in response
to the bumbling, boring, beer-belting
frat system itself, and the cruel rush
program. Sororities are similarly un­lovely,
but save for 10 or so hard­core
women's lib types, no woman
dare denounce sororities, and most
join them.
Social life at Auburn is backward,
and perhaps even depraved, at least
by the standards of Northern liberals..
Women must live in dormitories until
they are 21, observing strict curfews,
signing in and out, and enduring
similar indignities. Most don't com­plain,
and quite a few actually.like
the system. But then, most of thefAu-burn
women are submissive, sick
Southern sweeties, just delighted
because they are at a college that
has the most important possible at­tribute,
a male population which is
twice the size of the female con­tingent.
Political activism on campus is
almost unheard of. The major.furor
came two years ago, when the uni­versity
denied Yale Chaplain William
iSloane Coffin the right to speak; the
the decision was overturned in.federal
court, despite Auburn's objection to
Coffin as a convicted federal criminal
(Coffin's conspiracy conviction in a
draft case was later overturned).
Academics are not exactly a major
consideration at Auburn, but a couple
of departments are good nonetheless.
The school was established as a
technical institute, and offers fine
programs in engineering, aerospace
mechanics, aviation management, and
(secondarily) architecture. Science
faculty are conservative even by Au­burn
standards, while liberal arts
t e a c h e r s are more liberal, albeit
generally mediocre in their fields
(English and history, as at all weak
schools, are the best of the liberal
arts lot.) In additio^Auburnmaintains
an education department, which is
rinky dink, and which attracts more
than 90 per cent of Auburn's women.
Despite the deficiencies, bothaca-demic
and social, Auburn students
say they are happy. Women cite the
marriage opportunities, men claim a
good social life and a friendly at­mosphere
(true, unless you are black
or have long hair). But then, the hap­py
racism of Auburn is only typical
of the area. If you're looking for
humanity, or even comprehension,
don't go to Alabama. When Auburn
showed its first initial sign ofaware-ness-
a tiny, tentative Kent State
demonstration-the countryside was
clogged with rumors of 2,000 Black
Panthers poised in the woods, waiting
until the key moment in the demon­stration
to conduct a mass assault
on Southern womanhood. If that's the
way you think, too, then and only
then will you find Auburn to your
liking.
Clarice sees future
as scientific reality
Hearty, sizzling steaks from petroleum? Several thousand
television channels to choose from? Compulsory education to
age 120?
Most people like to peek
into the future. In comparing
past predictions of inventors
and science fiction writers with
the technological realities of
today, Arthur C. Clarke:, who
spoke at Auburn this week, did
not appear so much to be gazing
into his crystal ball as waiting
for time to lift the cloudiness.
Clarke addressed an audience
of about 300 in the Student
Activities Building on May 6.
Co-author of "2001: A Space
Odyssey," Clarke was spon­sored

year. In the Extension Division,
the University's total requests
call for $4.8 million in 1971-
72 and $5.2 million in 1972-73.
This year's appropriations has
totaled $3.4 million.
The major items listed in the
request for capital improvements
are $5.3 million for the School
of Engineering, $6.6 million for
continued development of the
Fine Arts Center, $3.4 million
for a Plant and Biological Sci­ences
Building at the main cam­pus
and $2 million for a general
classroom building for the Auburn
campus in Montgomery. In other
areas, $1 million was requested
for the student infirmary.
"Our budget request once more
provides funds for bringing facul­ty
salaries to the national average
and reducing teacher loads,"
President Philpott stated. If Au­burn's
teaching loads were
brought to the national average
for institutions of its type, 219
faculty positions would be cre­ated.
Should the University budget
be markedly cut either by the
governor or by further action in
the legislature, an appropriation
amendment bill could be attempted
upon a decision by President
Philpott.
lecture series.
An authority on space travel,
Clarke is credited with orig­inating
the communications
satellite in a technical paper
published in 1945. But he
developed far more serious
considerations than self-contained
foundationless mobile
homes which could "fly" north
or south for perfect weather
conditions.
Within two years, he said,
NASA is expected to have, on
an experimental basis, televi­sion
sets in every village in
India to help solve the problems
of that country through mass
education, beginning with
family planning and agricultural
techniques.
Within the not too distant
future he sees home television
sets able to contact existing
communications satellites at
an expense of under $200.
Most importantly, he sees a
"real communications revolution
about to burst" with hundreds
of communications satellites
opening the entire world to all
on earth. There will be no need
for newspapers-thus conserving
our forests-and one can dial
in a Pravda editorial as well
as the society page of Podunk.
At the same time, everything
written or said will be available
to all.
"This is why I get so mad
at people who don't want to
spend money on space re­search,"
Clarke said. Hurricane
Camille, he pointed out, would
have taken 50,000 more lives
"had it not been that we are
already living in the satellite
age."
All-American Rating
The critical service of the
Associated Collegiate Press
has awarded The Plainsman
its tenth consecutive All-
American rating, the highest
a college paper can recieve.
The award was presented
for the papers from the period
January to May 1970, under
the editorship of Bruce Gil-liland.
Due to The Plains­man's
delay in submitting
the papers for considera­tion,
notification of the award
was also delayed by several
months.
The Plainsman won marks
of distinction in each of five
areas for that period: cover­age
and content, writing and
editing, editorial leadership,
physical appearance, and
photography.
On The Plainsman's
writing and editing, he com­mented,
"Writers show talent
and training. Copy is objec­tive
and features are well-handled."
Of Gilliland's editorial
leadership, the judge com­mented,
"You attack prob­lems
head-on; local, national,
et al. Your writing is sensi­tive
and sensible."

University to handle
entertainment staging
Graff fees
Graduation fees of $10
should be paid at the Cash­ier's
Office by May 25 by
all students expecting to
graduate in June. A $5 late
fee will be charged after
May 25.
The new plan for handling
large scale entertainment at
Auburn has been approved by the
SGA Social Life Committee,
Under this plan, entertainment
will still be chosen by the Stu­dent
Entertainment Committee
with the help of student opinion
surveys, but the University will
control all technical aspects of
staging presentations.
Wayne Murphy, Memorial Coli­seum
manager, will be in charge
of the concerts for the University
according to the proposal. The
new system would allow Murphy
to become familiar with booking
and staging concerts.
Jimmy Tucker, Student Govern­ment
Association president said,
that "this year's concerts at the
Coliseum have been very success­ful
because attendance and pro­fits
have been good. The only
negative comments I have heard
are that there haven't been enough
concerts this year, and some
students would like to see some
heavier groups."
The three main entertainment
features of this year were "Three
Dog Night," "Chicago," and the
"Fifth Dimension."
Also under the new system,
the University will serve as the
booking agent, therefore elimi­nating
the middle man,/enabling,
more profits to be made. The Uni­versity
will also be able to dis­pense
with purchases of equip­ment
for each concert because
the promotional agent can be in­formed
of what equipment is
available. Profits will then be
used for setting up an entertain­ment
fund that will possibly be
employed in lowering ticket
prices on future concerts.
The new . setup will be
a lot more work for us but we are
happy because it cuts out the
nuisance of dealing with so many
people," Murphy said.
The new system was employed
at the "Fifth Dimension" con­cert.
Some difficulties developed,
however, because the Coliseum
expense account did not allow
for equipment purchases for con­certs.
The equipment was pur­chased
though and charged to the
Student Entertainment Fund. The
profits of the concert covered
the cost of the equipment, but
the money used should have gone
into the Student Entertainment
Fund,according to SGA officials.

THE AUBURN PUINSMMI -6 Friday, May 14,1971 Many-talented Owens will
compete at tailback spot

Pat Sullivan shows his number one in the nation form in a
Rllllfit practice session recently. Sullivan has not had any great
days throwing this spring, but the same could be said of last
year's spring training. The culmination of the spring season will be May 22 when

By Richard Little
Plainsman Sports Writer
If you were an Auburn
football coach, what would
you do with a player that
played fullback in high
school, five different posi­tions
as a freshman, and
in his sophomore year
played defensive side-back
and linebacker, be­sides
returning a punt for
89 yards?
If the player is James
Owens, you would place him
at offensive tailback.
But what if Owens misses
the first two weeks of spring
practice, a period which
coach Shug Jordan termed
"most critical" for him to
make the position switch?
You just put him in the
day he returns to practice,
and watch him run 31 yards
on his first carry from scrim­mage.
And then you go get drunk
in total exhilaration, because
Owens is only your number
two tailback.
James Owens is, besides
the above, a six-foot, two-inch,
two-hundred pounder
from Fairfield in Birmingham,
who covered kick-offs last
year, is working on returning
kick-offs this year, and also
was a top player on the intra­mural
championship basket­ball
team.
Don't be surprised if you
see Owens selling Cokes
during halftime next fall.
How does the multi-tal­ented
athlete feel about mak­ing
all these changes?
"Well, coming back to tail­back
isn't that hard," he
said, "because I had played
that position some as a fresh-'
man. You don't have to remem­ber
as much as you do oh
defense, running just comes
natural to me, I guess.
"My biggest problem now
is experience. I'm behind
Terry Henley, who played
some last year, and he def­initely
knows more than I do,"
he continued.
"There is not a lot of dif­ference
between Owens and
Henley right now," said back-field
coach Claude Saia.
"I'd start Owens and be
satisfied.
"He's got everything you
could want in a back-speed,
quickness; he can run inside
or outside, is a real good
receiver, and a good blocker."
Practice like a
three ring circus
Spending a warm, muggy, May afternoon on the practice:
field of the Auburn Tigers is a lot like spending an evening
at a three ring circus-there's too much going on to see
it all and although it seems that there is something
important occurring, really all that's happening is hard work.
Before the hard work begins this afternoon,though, there
Speaking of Sports
Randy Donaldson
Sports id'rtor
is a picture taking session going on around the artificial
turf. Pat Sullivan, Tommy Yearout, Terry Beasley and
Dick Schmalz, all dressed in their blue uniforms, are posing
for a photographer from The Birmingham News.
"All right, Pat, let's have you hold the ball at chest
level and come running through here," the photographer
suggests.
Sullivan gets a sheepish grin on his face , knowing that
he was going to catch some harrassment from his teammates
who sit there in front of him.
"Let's just run through it for practice one time, Pat,"
requested the picture taker.
Sullivan did as he was asked, and then the barbs began
to fly at him.
"Why are you breathing so hard, Pat?"
"Hey, Sullivan, don't trip over the grass."
Yearout then joins Sullivan for a shot of the two captains
together.
"Move in a little closer to him, Tommy, and move your
shoulder back behind Pat's."
All this moving around results in Yearout's chin resting
directly above Sullivan's shoulder pads.
"Boy, both of you sure do look cute." All that Sullivan
and Yearout can do is grin and keep staring at the camera­man.
"O.K., let's have both of you sort of looking up , while
I get down here and shoot up at you," the photographer
ordered.
"Ah, these are the shots that I like, the kind that look
up at you," Yearout says jokingly.
And then, in his loudest mutter, Sullivan says, "Yeah,
but they look up your nose that way." '
In the meantime, Beasley is talking of his plans for the
summer and making predictions for the fall season.
"Yeah, I'm only taking six hours this summer, so that
I can work out a little every day. So, when the season starts ,
I'm going to be faster than I've ever been." To the layman
observer of Beasley, though, there is just no way that he
can get faster. It he does , Sullivan is going to have to

title hopes with sweep
"In tact, witn a little work,
he could be a great blocker."
"It's a pleasure to coach
James," continued Saia.
"He's real coachable. He
likes to get out there and
stick it-to-them; that is, he
likes to hit folks.
"His only weakness right
now might be his ability to
pick holes. We are running
a lot out of the I formation
(where both backs line up
directly behind the quarter­back),
and an important play
from that formation is the
slant play.
"On a slant, the quarter­back
hands off deep in the
backfield to the tailback, who
then has the option to go
straight ahead, or go inside
or outside, depending on
where the hole is. James
has to learn to find that hole.
He has the size and desire
to make a hole though," said
Saia, "if it comes down to
that."
Owens is perhaps best re­membered
for his long punt
return in the Florida game,
which resulted in a touch­down.
"That, at the time, seemed
like my biggest thrill of my
life, scoring my first touch­down
and all," Owens said.
"I hope to say later though,
that I have had some bigger
thrills.
"I guess I'm happiest
where I am now." Owens
said, "I like to get out there
and run, and knock people
down. My pulled muscle,
which kept me from practicing
for a while, doesn't bother
me now, and I'm out there to
give 100 per cent."
And if 100 per cent isn't
enough, tip number 42 when
he sells you a Coke next
fall. He deserves it.
It was a make it or break
it series in Georgia last
week, and thus the Auburn
baseball team has spent an
off week trying to pick up the
pieces of their Eastern Divi­sion
championship dreams.
Georgia swept those two
games, 8-6 the first day and
4-2 the next, and when
coupled with Vanderbilt's
three game sweep of its series
with Florida, the Tigers
finished two games behind
the Commodores in the Divi­sion
race.
As has been the case in a
great many of Auburn's losses
this year, leaky defense and
fatilty pitching were the down­fall
of the Tiger hopes. In the
first of the Georgia games,
Auburn jumped to a two run
lead in the firs tinning, thanks
to three consecutive singles
by Andy Merchant, Joey Mar­tin,
and Jack Baker following
a Georgia error.
But, in the bottom of the
inning, an Auburn error, two
singles, and a triple gave
the Bulldogs a 3-2 lead. Yet
another miscue by the Tigers
started the Georgia second
inning resulting in another
two run rally by Georgia.
The Bulldogs kept pecking
away to get their eight runs,
while Auburn did the same;
to get their six, but the ini­tial
deficit was too much to
overcome.
The second game was
played, under the pressure of
a must win by Auburn. Vandy
had swept their two games
with the Gators the day be­fore,
meaning that they must
lose: while Auburn was win­ning
in order for there to be
a tie in the final standings.
The Tigers got off on the
right foot in that second con­test,,
as Ken Dempsey singled
and Martin drove him in with
a double following a stolen
base. The second inning saw
the Tigers up their margin
when Pete Rancont tripled
and Wayne Hall got him in
with a sacrifice bunt.
The bottom of the third,
however, was a little of a
nightmare for Jack Van
Yperen, Auburn's starting
pitcher. He gave up three
singles, two walks, and had
three balls on the next hitter
when it began to rain. After
an hour's delay, Van Yperen
came back and walked that
man, giving Georgia three
runs in the inning.
Auburn bats were stifled
after that while the Bulldogs
were able to come up with
another tally later in the
game. The two losses gave
the Tigers a 9-6 conference
record, giving them second
place behind Vandy's 11-5
mark.
Monday and Tuesday, Au­burn
will entertain the always
powerful FloridaState
Seminoles in single games,
followed by contests Friday
and Saturday with an equally
tough South Alabama team.
That Saturday game will be­gin
at 10:00 a.m.

SC takes TKE in
pitching duel 4-3
By Richard Little
Plainsman Intramurals Editor
The Sigma Chi's broke up
a pitching duel between
their own Pat Moore and the
TKE's Sam Monary with four
runs in the bottom of the
sixth inning , enabling them
to cap a 4-3 victory last
week.
Both pitchers had one-hitters
going into the top
of the fifth, when the TKE's
scored three runs on a single
by Bill Nixon, a walk, a
double by Jim MacDonald,
and a single by Larry Davis.
The Sigma Chi's roared
right back in the sixth with
three walks, a hit batter, a
single by Mike Fosdick, and
a clutch double by Moore, to
aid his own cause.
Another fine pitching
performance was turned in
last week by the Sigma Nu's
Brad Hale, who shut out
the Pi Kappa Alphas. Hale

learn how to throw the ball farther.
A board about ten feet long is situated at one end of
the field and there is where the linemen congregate. Two
of the big men meet head on in the.middle of the board,
with the object of the confrontation being to drive the
other man to the end. It's a shouting, growling match a
good deal of the time, as one coach implores his protege to
drive, while another coach does the same for the opposition.
When one man ends past the end of the board, one of the
coaches jumps up, pats his man on the back, and pleads
with his next representative to win also. The other coach
groans, grimaces, and then begins to tell the defeated man
what he did wrong.
It's a grueling session in the sultry, oppressive after­noon,
but the players, coaches, and managers keep at it
for the better part of two hours. Coach Jordan calls it a
beneficial session, but his charges will be out there doing
the same things again. Spring training does not seem too
important, but if it develops 9-2 seasons, who is there to
criticize it?
According to Coach Rosen,
"We are all healthy right
now and we think in pretty
good shape. The team has
not jelled so far like we ihad
hoped for, so maybe tthis
will be the week we get it
all together."
The scoring has been
changed this year to in­clude
six places with the
point range going 10,8,6,4,

Philpott raps about the Pill, parking, drunks...
By Royce Harrison
Plainsman Staff Writer
Pres. Harry M. Philpott spent the after­noon
of his birthday in Samford Park May
6, "rapping" with a small and constantly
shifting group of students about University
policies concerning campus issues such as
discipline, parking areas, outdoor loud­speakers,
and dispensation of birth control
pills.
It was the third such session in a year;
the first was held last May after student
discontent emerged in a "Strike Day"
demonstration and march.
During the latest session, Jimmy Tucker,
newly-elected SGA president, presented a
birthday cake to President Philpott on be­half
of the student body.
Dean of Women Katharine Cater, who was
there at the request of AWS officers, fielded
questions from a handful of coeds, and
helped slice the birthday cake for distribu­tion
to the crowd.
President Philpott's dialogue with stu­dents
included these remarks:
" I t ' s not the function of Auburn Uni­versity
to provide the Pill, or birth control
information, or the tests necessary for a
prescription for the Pill. The medical
profession advises us not t o ."
A coed protested, "If two or three girls
go to the infirmary each week pregnant, it
seems Auburn has problem. Why can't the
Pill be provided?"
He replied, "The University encourages
premarital continence. In the eyes of many
people, providing the Pill shows advocation
of premarital sex."
The coed then ventured, "You're stopping
a girl's education by saying she has to drop
out of school when she becomes pregnant.''
"I'm not responsible for her getting preg­nant,"
President Philpott said.
She said, "It's not your responsibility
to teach morals; parents should have done
that long ago."
Philpott s a i d , " I do have a responsibil­ity
to teach morals. Auburn is not just a
'think factory'.Moral decisions are societal
decisions, and one of the purposes of the
university is to prepare its students for
the future."
ON DISCIPLINE:
"Since I've been at Auburn, not one
student has been found guilty who hasn't
agreed that he was guilty. There have been
no protests about guilt or innocence; but
there are protests about punishment being
too harsh," President Philpott said.
"Courts have said there is no double
jeopardy involved in dismissing a student
before his case is tried in court. The reason
is that a student at a university has
obligations above those of other citizens,
and he can lose the privilege of attending
college if he breaks its regulations."
ON CURFEWS:
Dean Cater said that the AWS proposal
exempting juniors from living in dorms will
probably be approved.
A coed asked "Why, if girls can marry
at 18, are they unable to live off-campus?"
President Philpott replied "There is
a combination of reasons for requiring coeds
to live in the dorms." He elaborated
on one reason: "I'm required by law to meet
the payments on the $12 million bond issue,
that built the dorms. Therefore I must keep
myself in a position to meet those pay­ments."
The coed averred that the school would
"not collapse with a liberalization of
rules."
Citing the University of Iowa as an
example of a school that instigated a
non-compulsory dorm policy, and lost
money, Philpott said, "I know no two
schools are alike; but I must be reasonably
certain of the outcome before I change
the policy."
"Besides, I believe the majority of the
parents prefer curfews."
ON THE PARKING SITUATION. . .
There are no plans for additional D-zone
parking areas to replace those where the
Fisheries Building and the Drama complex
are being constructed, because the Coliseum
lot is not filled.
"When the contractors finish, some park­ing
spaces will be restored on the hill and
we will tear down the old Fisheries Building,
but no new permanent lot is planned,"
President Philpott commented.
ON ROCK CONCERTS:

world.
Jeanne Philpott has the
large limpid eyes and the soft
tawny hair of a doe. And she
has, in addition to those at­tributes,
her mother's grace,
her father's sense of humor,
and her own natural ebul­lience.
Attending Auburn as the
daughter of Pres. Harry M.
Philpott has beeif at times
difficult for Jeanne. [ Her
dates dislike calling for her
at the big front door of the
P h i l p o t t mansion; her
teachers sometimes press
her for a reaction on some
campus issue; her father
teases her about being in by
nine when she leaves with a
date at 8:30.
But living at home is not
atrial for Jeanne,as it would
be for many young women at
22. When she speaks of her
parents, she speaks warmly,
and it is evident that their
relationship is an excep­tionally
close one.
"We always d i s c u ss
things," she said. "I feel
that as long as they are
supporting me, I should lis­ten
to what they say."
"My parents don't pressure
me about grades," she said.
" I t ' s mj education. And
they would prefer that I be
well-rounded. So they don't
get upset over C's."
Jeanne said she has never
had a set curfew, nor do her
parents wait up for her when
she is out late. She has
never lived in a dormitory
while at Auburn, though
she said her parents would,
be glad to allow her to live,
in a dorm or an apartment if
she so desired.
There are, says Jeanne,
times when she disagrees
with her father^^ut when
she does, they talk it out.
He listens to her Viewpoint,
and she to hisv*3Rfcfen, she
said, their talks expose hid­den
aspects to problems
which explain her father's
position; such as legal or
financial considerations.
Jeanne, who transferred to
Auburn after two years at
Randolph Macon College in
Virginia, is majoring in math
education. After she gradu­ates
summer quarter, she will
begin work as a teacher in
Birmingham. She is excited
about her position; she will
be team teaching in a math
laboratory.
Jeanne is concerned about
current campus aad national
issues, f " ""

and nationally, she said,
"I'm glad to see students

U.S. involvement in the Viet­nam
war, a topic about which
she said her feeling "gets
stronger every day." The
United States, said Jeanne,

Campus demonstrators at
Auburn, in her opinion, are
not well enough informed
about what has been proposed.
"Their timing is off," she
said.
On women's rules, she said
she can see no need for them
beyond the first year of col­lege.
Freshmen, said Jeanne,
need rules because many of
them come from homes where
they have been "told when to
breathe."
Jeanne, the daughter of an
ordained Baptist minister,
said she is "not really hap­py
with churches as they
are."I think God should come
first in the church," she
said.
Jeanne said her parents
encouraged her to attend
churches of many different
denominations to develop her
own religious views.
Though she belongs to the
Baptist church, she loves to
attend summer services at
the Chapel in the Pines on
Lake Martin at Kowaliga,
where she said people are
"closer to nature and to
God."
Jeanne, a member of Delta
Delta Delta, said she feels
sororities will have to change
to survive. They should not,
she feels, limit members to
friendships within the group.

theat re that were banned due to violations
of state alcohol and drug laws, have
resumed under a i new policy that requires
all organizations to sponsor concerts through
either the University or the SGA, and to
organize supervision of the event.
ON FOOTBALL DRUNKS:
A student, irritated he said by drunks in
Cliff Hare Stadium, alleged "More alcohol
is consumed at one football game than could
ever be drunk in Graves. Why aren't, football
games banned?"
President Philpott answered, "The
Pinkerton detectives collect innumerable
bottles. We.re making every effort to
enforce every law we can; but to hire
additional men for the concerts would mean
using state appropriations, which are just
as well unavailable. So we have a new
policy-let's see how it works."
ON LOUDSPEAKERS:
"It seems that everyone who speaks
outdoors wants to speak at Haley, in the
midst of the crowd; but the sound interferes
with the Nursery School. Therefore, the SGA
is planning an Open-Air Forum between
Haley and Commons."
TENNIS COURTS:
"As soon as we receive the title to
the property surrounding the USDA Lab,
we'll move in and make plans for tennis
courts and outdoor handball courts. I
think we can find the money when it's
needed.''
JOBS FORGRADS:

The first lady of Auburn
University, Mrs. Harry M.
Philpott, walked from the
entry hall into a large sit­ting
room furnished in
traditional mahagany. She
was followed by "Tiger,"
a yellow Persian cat.
As Auburn's first lady,
Mrs. Philpott must host
numerous social events,
including the annual outdoor
dinner for the entire fresh­man
class and a tea for
graduating seniors.
Besides the countless
undergraduates, Mrs.
Philpott has entertained
celebrities from the realms
of politics, entertainment
and academia.
Her guest book of famous
personages is a tablecloth.
"I have each guest auto­graph
a tablecloth which I
later embroider. This gives
me a permanent record of
their signatures," she
explained.
Although University em­ployes
are responsible for
keeping the extensive lawn
groomed, Mrs. Philpott's
own green thumb prompts
orchids and other tropical
plants to thrive in a green­house
located on the back
sun porch.
There is Mrs. Philpott,
housewife-hostess, and Mrs.
Ph ilpott, gardener. There' s
also Mrs. Philpott, the
"involved" citizen.
"I hate to try to list all
the organizations I belong,
teaching jobs. I have a surplus of faculty
applications. This is unheard of."
"There's nothing that can be done until
the economy takes an upswing, President
Philpott said. "We're having to dismiss
some professors because of lessening stu­dent
demands in areas like aeronautical
engineering, which is a depressed industry.
It is down 50 per cent of what it was a
few years ago."
A student asked if there were plans
for a new infirmary here.
President Philpott replied, "We have
plans for expanding the waiting room and
operating room, but not for enlarging the
bed capacity at Drake Infirmary."
"The issue is how much health care
the University should provide. We believe
that our $7-per-quarter, first aid service
meets the needs of most of the students.
Complete health care would cost $20 or $30
per quarter per student."
"We're concerned with keeping costs
at a .minimum in order to keep Auburn a
people's college instead of an elite
institution, and to make it as easy as we
can for those who are working their way
through college."
"Our -most serious problem is meeting
the cost of living increases. For instance,
the electric bill for Haley is $100,000 per
year. The nine per cent rate hike by Ala­bama
Power Company will up that bill
$9,000.
"Other schools," he said, "are caught
in the same squeeze. Florida State admin­istrators
say they won't turn on the air
conditioners at all this summer, in order
to save money. And by the way, my air
conditioner isn't on yet."
to—I might omit one," she
smiled, Dr. and Mrs. Philpott
are both active members of
the FirstBaptist Church here
and she serves on the
Baptist Student Union's
student advisory committee.
Mrs. Philpott attended
high school in Switzerland
and finished at Fairmont
Preparatory School and
Junior College in Washing­ton,
D.C. At Cornell, she
majored in sociology. At
Yale, she got a Masters
degree in religion and higher
education. It was also at
Yale she met Dr. Philpott,
himself a graduate student.
From her vantage point
on the other side of the
generation gap, Mrs.
Philpott favorably compared
today's students to those
of her own generation.
"You are far ahead of
many people in my gener­ation,"
she commented.
"You seem to have a freer
perspective, with less
hang-ups than some people
who have been around
longer."
Although delighted that
young people today seek
change, Mrs. Philpott
faulted them for not thinking
through suggestions and not
basing criticisms on facts.
"I am concerned and
saddened that student unrest
should ever take the form
of violence and destruc­tion,"
she said.
Students should make
"positive commitments" to
work for "positive
changes," she concluded.
Five years reflect
growth, expansion
Five years and one day
have passed since Gov.
George C. Wallace, in
another term, presented the
presidential medallion of
Auburn University to Harry
Melvin Philpott in a Friday
the thirteenth inaugural
ceremony here.
But the bad luck usually
associated with that date
never materialized. Instead,
the Philpott administration
has seen Auburn University
through a period of major
growth and expansion.
Enrollment has grown from
11,903 in September of 1965,
when President Philpott
actually took office, to a
high mark of 14,525 in
September of 1969.
Construction of Memorial
Coliseum, Haley Center, two
veterinary medicine build­ings,
and two women's
dormitories has been com­pleted.
Cliff Hare Stadium
and the Forestry Building
have been expanded. A fine
arts center is under con­struction
and plans are being
made for an addition to the
Auburn Union.
Auburn University at
Montgomery was born, and a
library and classroom com­plex
are under construction
there. A student center is
also planned.
Other changes on this
campus during the Philpott
administration have included
voluntary ROTC, computer
registration, a gradual easing
of women's rules, and a new
curriculum for freshmen. A
centrex telephone system
was installed, as were
private telephones in girls'
dorms.
In addition, the cost of
attending Auburn has doubled
during President Philpott's
term. That, together with the
high selectivity of admis­sions,
eats at President
Philpott, and he worries that
Auburn is moving away from
its role as "a people's in­stitution."
President Philpott says
he views student activism
Plainsman photo by Roger Wentowski
Mrs. Many M. Philpott
as symbolic of the search
for a new national purpose.
Of campus activism here,
he said the "total approach
of students is different."
Auburn students, he said,
are in general conservative,
and they maintain the posi­tions
they come here with.
Though their concern is
great, isaid President Phil­pott,
it is exceeded by the
drive for professional suc­cess.
In the future, President
Philpott said he hopes to
lead Auburn to "meet the
needs of the state and the
nation."
"I am not concerned with
Auburn's overall status or
national ranking as much as
I am concerned with educat­ing
individuals who can
contribute to society," he,
said.
President Philpott views
his role in the presidency
as "planting trees under the
shade of which I will never
sit." Though there are, he
admits, many day-to-day
frustrations is his position,
he named three sources of
"continuing satisfaction."
Those include the recruit­ment
and retention of a
good faculty and the con­tinuing
improvement of
Auburn's physical facilities.
But the greatest satisfac­tion
of his job, said Pres­ident
Philpott, comes from
the knowledge of the dif­ference
Auburn University
has made in the lives of the
more than 16,000 students
to whom he has awarded
degrees.
President Philpott, a
native of Bassett, Va., was
raised in Lexington, N.C.
He received his bachelor of
arts degree from Washington
and Lee University, where
he was awarded the Algernon
Sydney Sullivan award upon
his graduation in 1938.
He earned the doctor of
philosophy degree from Yale
University in 1947. His
major was religion in edu­cation.
In 1960, President
Philpott was awarded an
honorary doctor of divinity
degree at Stetson University.
Professionally, President
Philpott has experience as
director of religious activ­ities
at Washington and Lee
University, as a chaplain
in the U.S. Naval Reserve,
and as associate professor
of religion at the Universi­ty
of Florida.
He was Dean of Religious
Life and head of the Depart­ment
of Religion and Philos­ophy
at Stephens College.
Prior to his appointment to
the presidency here,he was
vice-president of the Uni­versity
of Florida.

'Lion' is family play
"The Lion in Winter" is a
family play: the story of a
twelfth century royal clan
painfully caught up in the
game of succession as the
three sons of Henry II and
Eleanor of Aquitaine compete
for the throne of England.
The play, under the direc­tion
of R. C. Torri, assistant
professor of Theatre, will run
through May 22.
Torri demonstrated bril­liance
in his casting of char­acters.
Each of the actors
fills his role physically as
well as dramatically with the
build and coloring of each
contributing to the overall
effectiveness of the play.

Eleanor graces the perfor­mance
with her precise, de­termined
actions. Mrs. Farr
gives Eleanor real depth of
character as the queen moves
from haughty aloofness to
utter despair in the course of
the play.
Henry II, portrayed by G. J.
Koellsted, instructor of
Theatre, can best be de­scribed
as strong. He has
fought to build a kingdom,
and as he sees himself grow­ing
old, he is determined
not to let his kingdom be torn
apart after his death.
Koellsted, as Henry, vir­tually
rules the stage. His
character is so strong and
vital that the audience knows
he would have been a great
leader in any century.
Each of Henry's three sons
bickers and schemes for the
crown, but the most memorable
is John, the youngest.
Played by Jim Calhoun, 3
GPO, John is the spoiled,
pock-marked favorite of his
father. John is the tragically
comic reminder of the overly
indulged child.
Where John is spoiled and
stupid, Geoffrey, the middle
son, played by Dave Ward,
1PN, is cunning. He is bril­liantly
portrayed as the most
intelligent of the three sons.
He has been overlooked as a
future king by both his
parents, but nevertheless he

Fellini effort Monday film
For the second time this
quarter the fine art film
series presents a film by
Italian film maker Federico
Fellini. "The White Shiek"
will be shown Monday in
Langdon Hall at 7 and 9
p.m.
"The White Shiek" is
Fellini's 1952 debut as a
solo director. It is a satire
on the fumetti, romantic
and adventuresome serial­ized
publications of low
literary standards.
Fellini's eye for the ridic­ulous
becomes apparent as
newly-wed young bride
sneaks out on her husband
to meet her comic strip hero,
the White Shiek, who is
making a movie nearby.
The Shiek makes love
to her until his own wife
arrives. All the while the
deserted husband is trying
to find his run-away bride
and explain her absence to
his respectable relatives.
The satire is touched with
pathos.
Archer Winsten in the New
York Post said of the film,
"How is it possible for a
picture as delightful as 'The
White Shiek' to be ignored
for four years while some
pretty ripe film cheeses
made the trip across from
Italy? Here is a film that
reminds you of Chaplin and
Preston Sturges; not a major
comic work, but clearly the
effort of a genius. . ."

will dominate whoever holds
the throne.
Richard Lionheart, played
by John Melcher Heavey, 1
GC, is Eleanor's chosen son.
She has loved him and made
him into the complex person
that he is. He is an excellent
military leader and would
seem to be the best candidate-for
the throne.
However,his true nature is
shown in the moving scene
between Henry and Philip,
newly crowned King of
France.
Philip is masterfully por­trayed
by William F. Dunlap,
1TH.
Philip's sister, Alais Ca­pet
is a beautiful French
princess played by Anita
Vines, 1TH . She is the mis­tress
of Henry and the un­happy
pawn in the game of
succession.
The set, designed by Philip
Fitzpatric, instructor of .'Art,,
and the costumes, designed
by Nancy Fitzpatrick, cos­tume
mistress, give the play
the color and beauty neces­sary
to complete the spell of
mystery which transforms
the old theat re into a Norman
Castle.

IN TWO WEEKS!
Famous U.S. Women Ski Team Diet
During the non-snow off season
the U.S. Women's Alpine Ski Team
members go on the "Ski Team" diet
to lose 20 pounds in two weeks.
That's right - 20 pounds in 14 days!
The basis of the diet is chemical food
action and was devised by a famous
Colorado physician especially for the
U.S. Ski Team. Normal energy is
maintained (very important!) while
reducing. You keep "full" - no
starvation - because the diet is de­signed
that way! It's a diet that is
easy to follow whether you work,
travel or stay at home.
This is, honestly, a fantastically
successful diet. If it weren't, the U.S.
Women's Ski Team wouldn't be per­mitted
to use it! Right? So, give
yourself the same break the U.S. Ski
Team gets. Lose weight the scientific,
proven way. Even if you've tried all
the other diets, you owe it to your­self
to try the U.S. Women's Ski
Team Diet. That is, if you really do
want to lose 20 pounds in two weeks.
Order today. Tear this out as a
reminder.
Send only $1.00 ($1.25 for Rush
Service) - cash is O.K. - to: Ski
Team Diet, P.O.Box 15493, Dept.
ST, San Diego, Calif. 92115
Don't order unless you expect to lose
20 pounds in two weeks! Because
that's what the Ski Team Diet win do!
It's big.
But it doesn't eat much.
It gets about 25 miles on a gallon of regular gas.
Takes oil by the pint. Not the quart.
Needs no anti-freeze. (There's no radiator.)
And since our Station Wagon is only 15"
longer than our bug, it doesn't eat up much
parking space either.

Tucker -- Horizons, legal aid program boost projected budget
Editor's Note: The following is an interview with Student
Government Association Pres. Jimmy Tucker on his first
three weeks in office. Tucker talks on his plans for the
coming year as well as programs already initiated.
Plainsman: Student Government is requesting approximate­ly
$73,000 from the Student Senate this year. This is an
increase of about S2C.000 over last year's budget. What
are the major areas of increase and why are these increases
needed?
Tucker; There are slight increases in almost every area ,
but the major increase is in our Horizons Symposium
program which spent $13,000 last year and is asking for
$19,000 this year.
The reason for this increase is the tremendous success
which Horizons has had this year and hopefully we'll
be able to bring even more speakers in for this program the,
next year.
Another area which involves a large portion of our
budget is that of Legal Services. We're asking for $6,000
in the hopes that we can pay a lawyer a retainer fee for
the aid of students. The type of services this lawyer
would provide would be such things as landlord-tenant
relations or any other questions students have that are
legal in nature. We've had over 400 calls in the past
year for students asking fa legal advice.
Plainsman: You mentioned Horizons Symposium. Will this
program be continued as it was this year?
Tucker: We will observe the same basic format which Ho­rizons
used this year. As you know ACOIA was changed
to Horizons this year, and the program brought speakers
in all types of subjects over a wide time period. We've
found this type program to be tremendously successful.
We've had a total attendance of over 12,000 for the two
lectures and two movies we've sponsored this year. Next
year we hope to expand the symposium to cover new areas
such as medicine and sports.
Plainsman: In your speech at the SGA Officers Installation
Banquet you spoke quite a bit about relations betweenthe
SGA and the University administration. During the first
two weeks that you've been in office, how haveyouri re­lations
with the administration been and how do you se&
them developing for the coming year?
Tucker: Basically we've been getting along pretty well
with the administration. I've already spoken with Pres.
Philpott and several other administrators to begin getting
to know them better and to let them get to know me. I had.
already had contact with most of them in the past, but our
relations have taken a new perspective in my new position.
So far our conversations have been extremely encour­aging,
and we seem to have gotten off to a good start
working with them. I don't believe we can ever accomplish I
too much without their cooperation, if not their support.
In the past few years, relations:betweenstudentsand the:s
administration have often been strained. I am hopeful that
student government this year can walk the tightrope, to
which I referred in my installation speech, between ser­vility
and confrontation.
Plainsman: During the past few months, several questions
have arisen concerning popular entertainment on campus.
During the coming year, what role do you see student
government playing in this area?
Tucker: I've just returned from a meeting of the Social
Life Committee, made up of both students and administra­tors,
in charge of the whole area of popular entertainment
at Auburn. During the meeting we took up the subject of
control of entertainment.
Entertainment has changed tremendously during the past
two years at Auburn. The opening of Memorial Coliseum
has changed entertainment from what used to be a small­time
thing to what is now going into such entertainment
as we had last year with Chicago, Three Dog Night, The
Rolling Stones and the Fifth Dimension.
Expensive groups and also groups that attract large
audiences are now coming to Auburn. Along with this
increased quality and magnitude of entertainment, we've
acquired quite a few problems.
To deal with these problems during the past few years,
various methods have been tried for handling entertain­ment,
from complete student control all the way to being

taken completely out of student control and being handled
by a person who is on contract with the University to
handle entertainment.
At this meeting and previous ones, we developed a plan
which hopefully will combine the better elements of both
a full time person and complete student control. The plan
will have the Coliseum Director, Wayne Murphy be in
charge of entertainment and will work along with a student
director of entertainment.
This provides a full time person who can meet with
promoters from such areas as New York and Los Angeles.
These promoters will have someone full time within the
University administration that they can go to directly,
and at all times it will provide a greater continuity for
all our programs.
At the same time we can use students to determine
what groups we want at Auburn. I hope this will combine
the better elements of both plans, and we'll have a good
system for this year.
Also we want to increase the number of groups we have
this year. In talking with students, many were happy with
the groups we had this year but they wanted more enter­tainment.
Next year we hope we can get this.
Plainsman: What were the major promises of your cam­paign
and what steps have been taken to implement any
of these ideas?
Tucker: Since we've just come into office, we're just
getting rolling in many areas.
One thing which I discussed during the campaign was
the area of communications. Communications between stu­dents
so that student government can meet the needs of
the students rather than meet the needs of anyone else.
We've already begun in this area. In the past year,
public relations was a very small area of student govern­ment.
Next year we're reorganizing the executive branch
of student government so that public relations will be a
major part of our organization.
One person will be in charge of a daily five.minute
program on WEGL to tell what's going on in the SGA and
how it operates.
Also under public relations, we will include departments
for community relations, faculty relations, and inter-school
and high school relations so this is really going to
be a big organization.
Another thing promised during campaigns was going
around to the different organizations on campus to talk

with them. We started this off by having a group of ten
people go around to each fraternity and sorority to explain
the Students Senate's new football ticket system.
Another thing which we promised to work for is a more
realistic class attendance policy. This idea is presently
being discussed by the University Senate. I hope they
will present a more realistic system.
