5th Dimension concert
expected to attract
sellout crowd tonight
A sellout crowd is expected
to see the Fifth Dimension
tonight at 8 p.m. in Memorial
Coliseum. The concert is
sponsored by the Coliseum
with proceeds going to the
Student Government Associa­tion
entertainment fund.
According to Wilbur Murphy,
manager of the Coliseum, the
Services held

Funeral services were held
Wednesday at the First Pres­byterian
Church of Eufala
for 68 year old Sim A. Thomas
Jr., an Auburn alumnus and
eight'-year member of the
Board of Trustees, who died
Monday of a heart attack in
St. Margaret's Hospital in
Montgomery.
Thomas, who graduated from
Auburn in 1928,with a Bachelor
of Science degree in Pharmacy,
also served Auburn for several
years as a member of the Alumni
Advisory Council of the School
of Pharmacy. He was appointed
by Gov. George C. Wallace in
1983, to serve a 12-year term
on the Board of Trustees.
Thomas was a representative
from Barbour County in the State
Legislature for five terms where
he was chairman of the State

concert is expected to gross
around $55,000 with 60 percent
going to the Fifth Dimension.
Tickets for the concert have
been selling ' 'tremendously
well" according to Murphy.
By Tuesday, almost all four
and five dollar tickets had been
sold. Those remaining were only
singles.
The group's initial
success was accomplished by
the release of "Up, Up and A-way"
their first .recording.
The record earned four Grammy
Awards including "Best Per­formance
by a Vocal Group"
and "Record of the Year."
Later, "Age of Aquarius"
and "Let the Sun Shine In"
came up for five Grammy nomin­ations,
winning the group the
Grammy Award for "Best Rec­ord
of the Year."
The Fifth Dimension is com­prised
of Marilyn McCoo, Billy
Davis Jr., Florence La Rue
Gordon, Ron Townson and La-monte
McLemore. All performed
with other groups before coming
together in 1967.
The three men and two women
who make up the vocal group
began their singing career to­gether
under the group name of
"The Versatiles" until intro­duced
to Johnny Rivers, founder
of Soul City Records. It was
Ron Townson who thought of
"The Fifth Dimension" as a
new name for the group.
The Fifth Dimension have
played at the' White House for
President Nixon and the gover­nors
of 50 states, and were the
only celebrity guests asked to
perform on the NBC-TV special,
"They Said It Couldn't Be
Done."
The group has had its own
TV special and received an early
bid to perform at the 1970 Expo
in Tokyo.
Townson, McLemore and Davis
grew up together in St. Louis,
gravitating one by one to Los
Angeles. In successive years,
both Marilyn McCoo and Florence
La Rue Gordon won the "Miss
Bronze Grand Talent" contest
in 1963, and 1964, respectfully.
Both women were photographed
by McLemore and asked to join
the group that he was forming.
The success of their records
and the popularity of their perso­nal
appearances keeps them
booked as long as eight months
in advance.

Nader urges public to find
new meaning of patriotism
Ralph Nader, the reknowned
"raider," speaking here Tues­day,
advised Americans to
put aside their beer cans,
climb out of their soft chairs,
turn off their televisions, and
instead spend a portion of
their leisure time to seek a
new meaning for patriotism.
Nader, the second speaker to
be presented by Horizons Sym­posium,
told how students in
Oregon organized an "action
army" which employed lawyers
to protect students' consumer
interests. '
In less than 15 weeks, said
Nader, 70,000 signatures were
gathered in support of a request-later
granted-to the state's edu­cation
board that students be
charged S3 each to organize the
army.
"Nothing gets done unless
people do it," said Nader. The
public must insist on quality to
countervail the effect of special
interest groups which influence
Ralph Nader
governmental officials so heavily
that they actually become pro­tective
of the industries they are
charged to regulate.
The economy is controlled by
firms which appeal through tri­vial
promotion which becomes a
"packaging" competition at the
expense of product quality, Nader
charged.
The natural detection agencies
of the consumer-his smell and
taste-are easily deceived, said
Nader, when water is added to
meats and orange juice to in­crease
their bulk."
Nader cited as exemplary the
average hot dog, which he said
is composed of 30 per cent fat,
10 to 12 per cent water, and a
low content of coloring, season­ing,
and "miscellaneous debris."
The remainder, said Nader, is
substandard meat. "Never have
water and fat sold for such out­rageous
prices," he said.
In the questions session after
the speech, that statement was
challenged by Dr. Dale Huffman,
associate professor of animal
and dairy sciences, who invited
Nader to tour the meat packing
plant here, claiming that condi­tions
in "much of the industry"
were not as Nader described
them.
Citing his "theory of accounta­bility,"
Nader said some groups
are more accountable than others
for consumer problems and that
those groups which are respon­sible,
should be identified and
combatted with effective stra­tegy.
He cited the practice by which
the auto industry compensates
for poor body design with "after-sale"
equipment.
Cars are the cause of 35 per
cent, by tonnage, of the country's
air pollution, according to Nader,
yet the auto industry refuses to
abandon the internal combustion
engine because it has so much
capital invested in extra parts
for which it faces no external
competition.
Last year, saidNader, corpora­tions
spent less than one per
cent of their profits on purchasing
and installation of pollution con­trol
devices. He pointed out that
"very few corporate presidents
establish homes "3ar their be­loved
plants."
Pollution growth exceeds both
economic and population growth,
said Nader. The public must be
convinced that "to stop pollution
will not throw corporations into
economic convulsion.''

AU graduate
killed March 21
in car wreck
Winton W. Watkins III, former
business manager of The Plains­man,
was killed March 21 in an
automobile accident outside
Nashville.
Watkins, who graduated from
Auburn last year, was a member
of SAE fraternity and was listed
in the 1969-70 edition of "Who's
Who Among Students in American
Colleges and Universities."
The accident occurred on Inter­state
40 at about 2:50 a.m. when
Watkins apparently lost control
of the vehicle and left the road.
He was reported dead on arrival
at a Nashville hospital.
Watkins was living in Nash­ville
where he was in business
with his father. Funeral services
were held Sunday at the Glen
Leven Pre sbyterian C hurc h there.

Spring has apparently
sprung at Auburn as

Julian Bond slated
to speak Thursday
Julian Bond, controversial
Georgia legislator, will, de­liver
a speech entitled
"What's next" at 7 p.m.
Thursday in the Student Acti­vities
Building as the third
program in this year's Hori­zons
Symposium.
Bond, who has been called a
"militant activist, but not a
revolutionary," by Time Maga­zine,
was one of eight blacks
to be elected to the Georgia
State Legislature in 1965, but
was refused a seat by the mem­bers
of the Legislature because
of his statements against the
war in Vietnam.
After winning two other elect­ions
for the seat, Bond was
finally seated in January ,1967,
when the United States Supreme
Court ruled that the Legislature
had no right to deny him a seat.
Bond won a second election
in February, 1966, held to fill
his vacant seat, but a special
House committee again voted
to bar him from membership in
the Legislature. In November,
1966, he won a third election
for the seat and was finally
admitted to the House in Jan­uary,
1967, after the United
States Supreme Court ruled that
the Georgia House had wrongly

Plainsman gets
All- American
for fall quarter
The Auburn Plainsman was
awarded the "All-American"
rating for fall quarter, 1970,
by the Associated Collegiate
Press (ACP) critical service
at the University of Minnesota,
which evaluates approximate­ly
650 college newspapers
throughout the United States
twice-yearly.
The All-American distinction
is the highest rating awarded by
ACP. Other ratings, awarded on
the basis of numerical score, . are
first class (excellent), second
class (very good), and third class
(good).
To earn All-American distinc­tion,
a newspaper must be award­ed
Marks of Distinction for su­perior
achievement in four of five
c a t e g o r i e s . ' The Plainsman
received Marks of Distinction for
coverage and content, writing and
editing, editorial leadership, and
photography; but not in physical
appearance.
Judge's comments on The
Plainsman included these: for
coverage and content, "a tho­roughly
good job of coverage,
creative effort, and sound journa­lism,"
for writing and editing,
' 'professional;" for editorial
leadership, "extra credit;" and
for photography, "there is 'art'
here.''
In the physical appearance ca­tegory,
The Plainsman drew cri­ticism
for insufficient variation
of headline sizes, stacked head­lines,
and use of trite verbs in
headlines.
Papers for the second semes­ter
of 1969-70, are now being
evaluated after a delay in proce­dure.
In its category, weekly papers
at universities with enrollment
over 4,000, The Plainsman com­petes
with some 30 other news­papers.
Ferrante and Teicher
to close concert series
Ferrante & Teicher, two-piano team, will present the last
concert in the University Concert Series Monday, at 8:15 p.m.
in Memorial Coliseum.
Julian Bond
One of the most sought-after
musical combinations in show
business, the two have appeared
on every major television net­work
program from Ed Sullivan
and Dean Martin, to the Holly­wood
Palace and Bell Telephone
Hour.
Tickets will be available at
the door with single admissions
$2.50. Auburn University stu­dents
and wives of AU students
will be admitted free upon pre­sentation
of ID cards. There
are no reserved seats.
Just a few short years ago,
Ferrante & Teicher were one of
a near dozen two-piano teams
on the concert circuit. They had
been concertizing and recording
as a team for 12 years, but it
was not until their recording of
the "Theme From the Apart­ment"
in 1960 that they were
lifted from relative obscurity to
the first plateau of their populari­ty
as performing artists.
The two met at Julliard School
of Music when they were six
years old. They worked together
with the same teachers studying
theory, composition, orchestra­tion,
conducting and piano en­semble.
After graduating from Julliard
as piano majors under the late
renowned Carl Friedberg, both
accepted professorships to teach
theory and composition at this
famed music institute. While
both enjoyed such instruction and
the subsequent honor of being
the youngest members ever ap­pointed
to Julliard's faculty,
their real desire was to appear
before the public.
An appearance as soloists
with the Toledo Symphony Or­chestra
proved so successful
that they arranged a tour for them­selves.
Today they perform 100
or more dates each season all
over the United States, Canada,
and in Europe. They offer a high-'
ly professional show, employing
their own lighting director, audio
experts, wardrobe manager, and
even a comedy writer.

THE AUBURN PUINSMIN -2 Friday, April 2,1971
Senate approves ticket proposal
By Thorn Botsford
Plainsman Staff Writer
The extensive plan for
distributing football tickets,
proposed March 1 by the
Senate special ticket com­mittee
was passed with one
amendment in the last Senate
meeting of winter quarter.
The section of the pro­posal
which recommended
that non-student wives of
Auburn students be able to
purchase tickets at student
rates was amended to recom­mend
that non-student hus­bands
of Auburn coeds be
able to do the same.
The proposal must now
be approved by University
officials.
In other action, the Senate
passed an Elections Law
which will require all
candidates running for Stu­dent
Government Associa­tion
office to take a test
covering the history and
procedure of the Student
Activity Fee allocation
process.
The SGA is to conduct
seminars on the tested top­ics,
and all candidates
must make 90 percent
or better on the exam. If
a candidate does not score
90 percent on the exam,
he will be allowed to take
the test again.
Candidates must also
take a test covering the
SGA Constitution and By-
Laws. To qualify for e-lection,
a candidate must
score 90 percent or better
on this test.
The Senate granted pro­bationary
charters to the
Junior Civitan Club and the
Civil Liberties Union of
Auburn University, an af­filiate
of the American
Civil Liberties Union. Both
organizations were approved
unanimously.
The present apportionment
of Senate districts was re-approved
for the upcoming
SGA election. According
to the apportionment, fif­teen
senators will be e-lected
from residential dis­tricts
and fifteen will be
elected from the various
schools.
Jimmy Brennan, formerly
vice-president of the Stu­dent
Government Associa­tion,
is now president of the
SGA succeeding Bob Doug­las
who graduated last quar­ter.
Brennan will serve
as president until the new
president, who will be e-lected
April 15, is inaugu­rated.
Chris Youtz, formerly
treasurer of the SGA, grad­uated
last quarter leaving
that office vacant. Brennan
will appoint an interim
treasurer next Monday at
the Student Senate meeting.
The appointment must be
ratified by the Senate.
Methodist official
to speak April 4-7
Amos speech stresses
women's involvement
By Merry Schafer
Plainsman Staff Writer
The increasing involve­ment
of women in political
affairs and the fight for
equal rights were stressed
by Mable Amos, Alabama
secretary of state, who
spoke on "Women in Govern­ment,"
March 30, in the
Home Economics Auditorium.
"Women's activities, due
to their increasing independ­ence,
education, and spare
time, should not, however,
lead to rivalry between the
sexes," she said, "but
should, rather, strengthen
our institutions."
Mrs. Amos, a native Al-abamian,
served as recording
secretary in the Governor's
office from 1939 to 1967,
prior to her election as
secretary of state in 1966.'
She was re-elected for an-,
other term which began in
January, 1971.
The lecture was sponsored
by the Professional Affairs
Committee of Pi Chapter,
Delta Kappa Gamma.
According to committee
chairman Marion Spidle,
dean-emeritus, School, of
Home Economics, Mrs.
Amos used a working draft
of a proposed bill to demon­strate
how a bill becomes
a law.
Mrs. Amos served on the
Governor's Commission for
the Status of Women when
it was organized in 1963.
Last year, she was elected
first vice-president of the
National Association of
the Commissions on the
Status of Women.
Educated at Alabama
College and Peabody Col­lege,
Mrs. Amos is a mem­ber
of the National Federa­tion'dr
BMfflesfe and'Pfo-'
. fessional Women's Club and .
the American "Legion Aux­iliary.
Dr. Earnest A. Smith, As­sociate
General Secretary
of the General Board of
Christian Social Concerns,
the United Methodist Church,
will talk on "The Cross
and the Contemporary
Scene" nightly at 7 p.m.
April 4th through 7th at the
Wesley Foundation.
Reverend Smith, who
serves as head of the Di­vision
of Human Relations
on the Board of Christian
Social Concerns, came to
the Board in 1966.
Prior to his present po­sition,
he spent almost ten
years as president of Rust
College, Holly Springs,
Mississippi. Reverend Smith
was born in Georgia, but
grew up in Birmingham. He
studied at Rust College,
Oberlin, Ohio, and the Hart­ford
Seminary Foundation
in Connecticut.
He has an honorary doc­torate
from Gammon Theo­logical
Seminary in At­lanta.
Dr. Smith has had a long
career in educational and
religious endeavors. He
has taught school on all
levels from junior high
school through college and
has served as principal to
two high schools.
He has been pastor of
three churches, and execu­tive
secretary of Christian
Education for two confer­ences.

Lt. Galley
Upon learning of the verdict in
the Calley trial, we were reminded
of remarks Lt. Calley made earlier
this year. In an interview in the
February issue of "Esquire" maga­zine,
Calley said he did not know
why he was in Vietnam or why he
was fighting.
"I had once known at O.C.S. what
was going on, but maybe someone
had tricked me: I didn't know now,"
he said. "I didn't know why . . .we
were there in Vietnam. Who did I know
who could tell me? Captain Medina?
Medina didn't know it. Colonel Bark­er?
General Koster? President John­son?"
Elsewhere in the interview, Cal­ley
described a Vietnamese village
where "people had been shooting
Sen. Home's proposal
State Sen. Don Home has recently
provided a classic example of fal­lacious
reasoning by proposing that
a new state university be started in
Montgomery to save the people of
Alabama the estimated $4 million
requested to move the School of
Pharmacy to our Montgomery campus.
The new University of Montgomery
which Home proposes would assume
control of Auburn's campus there with
a separate board of trustees. Senator
Home stated in a news release re­cently
that he feels the proposed re­location
of Auburn's Pharmacy School
would set "a dangerous precedent
which will surely open the door to
the relocation of other Auburn pro­grams."
His proposal is designed to "give
the people of the Montgomery area
the new University they desire. . .
and. . .to encourage Auburn Univer-s
ity, to create^ ,ne w schoolj^j>ujch j ^ .
nursing^ law," and college-credit
night courses, instead of spending
money to move existing schools from
one location to another."
The three other state legislators
from Lee County, while notendorsing
Senator Home's proposal, have all
taken stands against the proposed
move.
The cost of creating an entire
new university in Montgomery would
far exceed that of relocating Au­burn's
School of Pharmacy and
would certainly be a waste of the
limited resources presently avail­able
to education in the state. Pres­ident
Philpott has stated that the
proposal is in conflict with the plan­ning
of the administration and the
Board of Trustees. Legislation pas­sed
in 1967 specifically assigned
the responsibility for operation of
the Montgomery campus to the Au­burn
Board of Trustees.
We support President Philpott in
his contention that the relocation
of the Pharmacy School would be in
the best interests of education in
the state. We see no threat that the
move could result in the relocation
of otner schools at the Montgomery
campus as it has been clearly stated
by President Philpott that no other
such moves are being considered.
_ Our- drily reservation- is that "the
relocation of the school may be a
sound idea whose time has not yet
come. It is disappointing to us that
the administration apparently values
the Pharmacy School move more than
other crying needs of the Auburn
campus-including construction of
an adequate student health facility-in
a year of a so-called "belt tight­ening."
Deaths
We were deeply saddened to learn
of the deaths of Sim A. Thomas Jr.,
and Winton W. Watkins, III, two Auburn
graduates who gave generously of
themselves to the University.
[AT. Thomas, who served for eight
years as a member of the Board of
Trustees, has made an inestimable
contribution to the value of our edu­cational
experience here... an achieve­ment
which will live on.
And Winton, or "Triple W," as we
called him, was an efficient and ag­gressive
Plainsman business manager.
More importantly, his unwavering lo­yalty
and irrepressible sense of humor
endeared him to the staff.
We extend to the families of these
two men our sympathy.

Movie gives subtle lesson in women's lib
at us with mortar shells even; but
as usual, when we got there every­one
was an old mamasan, an old
papasan, or a child saying 'We love
the G.I.'s.'
"Everybody there was friendly
until we started turning up V. C.
flags. I realized then, we were being
taunted only. We were being made
a mockery of," said Calley.
The absence of any strong justifi­cation
for American involvement in
Southeast Asia, together with the
apparent ambivalence of the Viet­namese
people toward the Americans,
have contributed to the tragedy that
is the Vietnam war.
But Lieutenant Calley is certainly
not to blame for it.
He is but one soldier in the U.S.
Army.
Among the weighty themes
tossed about in the action
of "Five Easy Pieces," there
is a subtle lesson in the
philosophy of women's liber­ation
which in its understate­ment
is easily grasped, even
by the unsuspecting.
The film centers around
an emotionally immature
pianist from a wealthy upper
class family who escapes
himself through existence as
a worker in an oil field.
From a theater seat one
can view him in each of his
dual identities, an opportunity
not afforded to the two women
in his life.
Bobby, as he is called by
Rayette; or Robert, as he
is called by Katherine, is a
man who might have found
happiness had the film been
set in the future, after the
currently unfavorable image
of the women's liberation
philosophy has been counter­acted
by its basically sound
reasoning. Instead, the dis­honesty
of the three in play­ing
their sexual roles pre­vents
any of them from at­taining
happiness.
When Bobby is introduced,
he is embroiled in a rela­tionship
with Rayette, a wait-tress
who has a good body,
a heavily made-up face, and
an obsessive fondness for
Tammy Wynette's music.
Rayette has for Bobby the
same plaintive love sickness
which is the theme of her
favorite songs; "D*I*-
V*0*R*C*E," "Stand By
Your Man" and "Don't Touch
Me If You Don't Love Me."
In spite of his manly, man­ner,
Bobby is victimized by
the various "teddy bear
tricks" employed by Rayette
in her all-out attempt to win
his love. These tricks include
her petulant pout, seeming
helplessness, easily-pro­duced
tears, little-girl voice,
and puppy dog look.
To the exclusion of all
else, Rayette wants Bobby
to be her man, and she is
extremely unhappy through­out
the film because Bobby
stubbornly resists her ef­forts
to gain control of his
emotions, thoughts, and life.
Then Bobby becomes Rob­ert
when he must return to
his home to see his ill father.
We learn that his family is
quite refined, culturally, and
that Robert, his brother, and
his sister have been raised
to be accomplished musicians.
Only Robert has failed,
apparently leaving home years
earlier in the search for him­self
and neglecting his
piano playing since.
Katherine is a music stu­dent
of Robert's brother; a
woman who is smooth, in­dependent,
and self-suf­ficient.
In emotional maturity,
she is light years ahead of
Rayette. The contrast be­tween
the two is ludicrous.
Robert falls for Katherine.
But the masterful he-man
approach which turned Ray-ette's
knees to jelly fails
miserably on Katherine. In
a meaningful scene, Robert
plays the piano at the request
of Katherine, who is moved
nearly to tears.
Seeing her reaction, Ro­bert
laughs bitterly, claiming
the Chopin was merely an
"easy piece" he played bet­ter
when he was eight. Kath­erine
is astounded at his
claim that he had absolutely
no "inner feeling" as he
played.
Later, Katherine rejects
Robert on the grounds that
a man who has no respect
for himself, his family, or
friends cannot ask for love.
In a scene with his mental­ly
and physically incapaci­tated
father, Robert reveals
that he does indeed have
inner feeling with deeply
entangled roots. Before his
unseeing, unhearing father,
Robert-a virile, aggressive,
bull moose of a man—weeps
over the failure of their
father-son relationship. But
he does not dare, even then,
to display his sensitivity to
Katherine.
Katherine leaves Robert;
Bobby leaves Rayette. The
movie is over, having ef­fectively
indicted the re­spective
roles of men and
women within our society.
As serious women's liber-ationists
have pointed out,
men seek out women like
Rayette in whom there is a
heavy imbalance between the
expenditure of emotional and
rational expression, the form­er
at times completely re­placing
the latter.
The man needs such a wom­an
's emotional dependence
because it makes him feel
big and strong. The woman
likes to think the man is big
and strong because she then
feels secure.
Lost in such a relationship
are".'.
The full humanization of
the .woman to include self
expression in ways other
than her smothering love
for the man.
The man's human right to
expression of inner feelings
without jeopardizing his self
image and his "masculinity."
The self-fulfillment which
they would find in a rela­tionship
in which each is a
complete individual who
serves to complement, rather
than sap, the strengths of
the other.
Poor Rayette. Poor Bobby.
Poor us.
But perhaps there is hope.
The women's liberation phi­losophy
is trying to teach
men and women to be honest
with each other.
If it is successful, there
will be no more men like
Bobby, who must hide behind
their "masculinity," and
there will be no more women
like Rayette who think their
only purpose in life is to
find a man.
not to blame for United States mistakes in Vietnam
Few events in American
history have aroused such in­stantaneous
and unanimous
public outrage as the results
of the military court-martial
,r<otlA. William Calley,....
ft is an enormous and shat­tering
experience to observe
the systematic destruction of
a human being, William Cal­ley,
by a government built u-pon
principles which Ameri­cans
have honored, treasured
and even died for during the
last two centuries.
The American public is
enraged.
Several members of local
draft boards in Georgia have
resigned, stating that they
"don't have the stomach" to
induct men so they can' 'come
home to be hanged." United
States Sen. Herman E. Tal-madge
characterized the re­action
of the public as ex­pressed
in calls, telegrams
and letters as "the most in­tense
expression of outrage"
he has ever seen in his 14
years in the Senate. Sheriff
L. W. Johnson of Baker Coun­ty,
Ga., has urged soldiers
to run away, saying that he
will help them hide in his
county. . <
Tri6ugh~"the fact's in the
Calley case are, at best, un­clear
and vague, it seems
generally safe to say that
several innocent civilian men,
women and children were mur­dered
three years ago in the
village of My Lai. It also
seems safe to say that Cal­ley
played a major role in
in this senseless and, to
most observers, unimagin­able
massacre. Beyond these
statements, it is safe to say
nothing.
It is cruel and, indeed, un­fair
to assign the blame for
an incident such as My Lai
to any individual, particular­ly
one in the position of
Lieutenant Calley.
After being trained to kill,
after being placed in a posi­tion
where he was responsi­ble
for the lives of his men-lives
which were constantly
threatened by an enemy which
could neither be seen nor
heard-and after being greet­ed
almost daily by the spec­tacle
of seeing his friends
and comrades being murdered,
how could Lieutenant Calley
conceivably be blamed for
what was, in his opinion, an
effective method of carrying
out his orders?
"If I have committed a
crime," Calley told the six-man
military jury Tuesday,
"the only crime I have com­mitted
is in judgment of my
values. Apparently, I valued
my troops' lives more than I
did those of the enemy."
From statements published
in periodicals since the be­ginning
of the investigation
of the incident at My Lai, it
seems that this particular in­cident
was not the only one
of its type in Vietnam.
One former soldier drove
past the military courtroom at
Ft. Benning Tuesday.
Scrawled on the windshield
of his car were the words, "I
killed in V.N. Hang me too!!
FREE CALLEY."
Other former soldiers have
admitted to witnessing or
taking part in incidents simi­lar
to My Lai while they were
in the Army but these men
cannot be touched by mili­tary
justice since they are
civilians.
It seems rediculous to pro­secute
Calley and others in­volved
in the My Lai incident
while completely ignoring
other reported war crimes in
Vietnam.
For a nation that systema­tically
murdered, in cold
blood, over one quarter mil­lion
residents of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki in August,
1945, to convict Lt. William
Calley of murdering 22 civ­ilians
in 1968 would seem an
outrageous show of hypocri­sy.
Calley is a scapegoat for a
government which refuses to
admit its own mistakes. It has
been made clear in the past
four days that the American
people will not stand fa such
absurdity. Even Gov. George
C. Wallace has proposed sus­pending
the draft in Alabama
to protest Calley's treat­ment.
President Nixon, yesterday,
made a slight concession by
ordering the joint chiefs of
staff to release Calley during
the automatic appeal proce­dure
which could last as long
as four or five years.
A far greater contribution
to the cause of justice could
be made if the president would
grant Calley an official presi­dential
pardon. It is an op­portunity
to show that he is
capable of performing his
duty by representing the
people.
In the interest of fairness,
let's hope he takes that op­portunity.
Change within institutions: impossible?
By Dr. Hyung-chan Kim
Assistant Professor,
Foundations of Education
For nearly a decade, campus poli­tics
in American colleges and univer­sities
has shown an almost convul­sive
polarization of the three major*
pressure groups: administrators, fa­culty
members, and students.
Students, in their political pursuit
of goals based on idealism, romanti­cism
and radicalism, brought about an
end to the effective functioning of
democracy by making their "non-negotiable
demands."
College administrators in their
political pursuit of practical goals,
deeply rooted in the conservative
soil of the American educational prac­tices,
have frequently demonstrated
their inflexible willingness to con­front
campus political issues head
on. Faculty members, caught between
the idealistic goals of students and
the pragmatic goals of money-bound
and legislature-directed college ad­ministrations-
particularly in the
case of state-supported institutions-have
shown their ineffectiveness,
as a catalyst to a resolution of the
conflict.
in the past, American college stu­dents
have made remarkable attempts
to bring about changes to the system
within the system. Frequently, their
over-zealousness and impatience
with the snail-like progress made by
confrontations which weredysfunc-college
administrators erupted into
tional to their objectives.
Probably, "academic backlash"
has just begun in America due to
the student unrest evidenced during
the 1960's. And there are some clear
signs indicating that it will continue
until reason and common sense pre­vail.
The restoration of reason is
absolutely essential in higher edu­cation
that is founded on rationality.
There are those who maintain that
significant changes within existing
institutions are almost impossible as
there are too many institutional for­ces
resisting changes; therefore, ac­cording
to them, a new institution
should be established to accommodate
new ideas and programs. But insti­tutions,
like all living beings, grow
old with time and age, and unless
they are constantly renewed, they
meet their slow death. There is a
great need in American colleges and
universities for a systematic inno­vation
for their self-renewal.
The politics of the pressure groups
within a university could contribute
to its self-renewal or self-destruc­tion.
On the one hand, the conflicts
among the pressure groups could be
created of such a magnitude that no
conflict resolution could be achieved.
On the other hand, these pressure
groups could cooperate* with each
other to develop a program of action
to inject a new life into the insti­tution.
A systematic change involves, at
least, the following four principal
factors; the development of a blue­print
for those goals to be achieved;
the means of communication to in­formation
concerning the proposed
goals and procedures; the organiza­tion
to coordinate activities that are
related to the total task of achieving
those goals; the successful adapta­tion
of the achieved goals to the ex­isting
institutional structure.
More frequently than not, college
administrators, by nature of their
responsibilities and not by their
deliberate attempts, become remote
from the first-hand experiences of
the students. The larger the institu­tion,
the higher their positions, the
more remote they become from the
center of the first-hand experiences
of those whom they administer.
Consequently, administrators tend
to operate on the "law of average"
acquired through the process of
screening, sampling, compiling, and
coding. Decisions reached on Ithe
basis of this method affecting the
lives of individual students and of
institution oftentimes do not corres­pond
with actual realities of aca-demia.
There is a need for an active par­ticipation
of students, and faculty
members, not as mere ceremonial ob­servers
but as pressure groups in a
political sense, to influence, in a
peaceful, constructive and cooper­ating
spirit, the decision to be made
by the college administrators.
Secondly, once certain decisions
have been reached with cooperation
of all pressure groups, there de­velops
a need to disseminate infor­mation
concerning such decisions
among the people in the academic
community. This is essential in
gaining maximum support and cooper­ation
from the people whose lives
are affected by the decisions.
Thirdly, there is a need for a per­manent
self-study committee in the
university which would be structured
to critically examine new ideas.
Such an organization should invite
as wide a participation of faculty
members and students as possible.
And finally, there is the task of
adaptation of goals achieved to the
institutional structure for their suc­cessful
implementation and infusion
into the broad institutional phil­osophy.
Once a successful adaptation has
been made, an institutional trans­formation
or self-renewal would fol­low.
letters fo the Editor Friday, April 2,1971 5- THE AUBURN PUINSMIN
President Nixon 'put on trial' for Vietnam conflict
President, The United States:
You have been brought before
this court by the American public
and placed on trial for the preme­ditated,
cold-blooded, first-de­gree
murder of thousands of in­nocent
human beings. And, after
much deliberation, we,the Ame-
Contfmied from page ?
rican public, find you guilty as
charged. We base our opinion on
the following facts:
1. By definition, any war that
continues for an extended period
of time becomes pre-planned and
thus premeditated murder.
2. After becoming President,
Bond to speak
refused to seat him.
In 1968, Bond became the
first black to be nominated for
the vice-presidency of the United
States at a national party con­vention.
He was nominated at
the Democratic National Con­vention
in Chicago but with­drew
because he was too young
to qualify.
In the April interview with
Time correspondent Wallace
Terry, Bond presented a four-point
plan for achieving black
goals in the next 10 years.
Termination of the Vietnam war
topped the list.
Bond was "pessimistic" in
his forecast for the next decade,
predicting an even greater gap
between white and black levels
of income and "incidents of
terror from the black commun­ity."
Slum housing may disappear,
Bond noted, making poverty
"easier to ignore because it
won't be an eyesore."
The descendant of an emanci­pated
slave and her former
owner, Bond is a native of Nash­ville,
Tennessee. He entered
Morehouse College in Atlanta
in 1957 and was a founder of
the Committee on Appeal for
Human Rights (COAHR) the At­lanta
University Center student
organization which co-ordinated
student anti-segregation protests
in Atlanta for three years.
In January, 1961, Bond left
Morehouse to join the Student
Nonviolent Co-ordinating Com­mittee
(SNCC)as communications
director, a position he held
until 1966.
Trustee
Administration Committee,,
a member of the House Ways
and Means Committee and the
State Health Committee.
He was also a member and
president of the Board of Edu­cation
in his home town of
Eufala for two terms.
Thomas has owned and man­aged
the Thomas Drug Company
in Eufala since 1931. He was
a member of the Board of Dea­cons
and an Elder of the First
Presbyterian Church of Eufala.
Nader
He said that the honest man
"doesn't have a chance" in
business, where unethical busi­ness
operation actually becomes
an advantage because it is so
widespread. The American enter­prise
system is not free but con­trolled,
Nader charged, and the
market place is not open but
closed.
Nader urged "full time activity
in citizenship to improve justice,
reclaim the environment, protect
our resources, improve medical
treatment, and make the legal
system useful.
Nader asked that any student
i n t e r e s t e d in organizing an
"action army" contact his repre­sentative:
Donald Ross, 1025
15th St., N. W., Washington. D. C
you did willfully continue the
Vietnam (declared or undeclared)
War without bringing a swift halt
to the bombing and fighting.
You continued unnecessary
acts of aggression, such as the
Cambodian invasion, against an
enemy that we fail to see mate­rialize
as a threat to American
sovereignty.
3. You also willingly sup­pressed
freedom of the press in
order to cover up for continued
cold-blooded, mass murders of
innocent civilians.
We also consider American
support of the Laos operation
a direct violation of the Con­gress
of the United States,
jumping bail to be exact, and
for that you will forfeit your
bail fund, as well as complete
control of all military actions
not directly connected with the
immediate withdrawal of all
troops from the Republic of
South Vietnam.
Having proven, beyond a shad­ow
of a doubt, your guilt, there
remains but one : 'matter to
attend to-sentencing!
War, by definition, can never
be humane and for the above
crimes, you have been found
guilty as charged.
Punishment shall consist
of life imprisonment. You will,
from this moment forward, fol­low
all directives issued by
the Congress of the United
States. This is the will of the
people, the 30th day of March
in the 1971st year of our Lord.
John Creel, 1GJM
'Change comes
through action'
Editor, The Plainsman:
In the final issue of last quar­ter,
two Plainsman staffers wrote
their farewell columns. Rather
than the somewhat cheery good­byes
of the past, the writers
chose to take a more dishearten­ing
look at the situation.
The attitude of both was that
they were glad to leave and that
little had changed for the better
since they had been here. One of
them said, "I am tired of being
stagnant, I don't think Auburn
was made for change."
I have worked with both staff
members and I have a great deal
of respect for their journalistic
abilities. However, I must dis­agree
with some of their state­ments.
Vickie Davis said, "Student
activism has been raging on cam­puses
across the nation. Auburn,
too, has had its token involve­ment,
protesting littleand accom­plishing
less." She should re­member
that the protests and
demonstrations at many schools
such as Columbia, Stanford, Kent
state, and San Francisco State
brought to an end many of the
outstanding, innovative programs
which Auburn students seek.
These students lost. They did
not gain anything.
Ann Zewen asks, "But what
has Auburn, the University, done
to help me in my growing?" Mrs.
Davis says, "I came to grow
and change. Instead, I feel that
I have accomplished nothing."
The question might be re­versed.
What have these two
people contributed to changing
Auburn? The development and
growth of a person's total being
requires output as well as input.
If a person does not put into
practice and action the ideas he
has developed, certainly, little
change can occur within the
person and his environment.
Students who say that Auburn
cannot be changed should ask
themselves what they, indivi­dually
and collectively, have
attempted in initiating change.
I am not sure that these two
realized that while they said
nothing had changed, they cited
examples of change within them­selves
and the University.
It is possible that these
changes did not live up to their
expectations, but very little in
life meets one's expectations. I
agree that Auburn has not
changed nearly as much as I
would like it to have changed.
However, one should not use the
slowness of change as an excuse
to discontinue working for
change.
As young people, we often in­sist
on rapid change. We fail to
remember that in institutions
such as Auburn, a great deal of
inertia exists which must be
overcome. For that reason, a
student might have to work his
entire college career to bring
about some change. If that change
is brought about, then something
has been gained for the student
and the University.
If students want changes made
on this campus, they must dedi­cate
themselves to working for
these changes and not quit the
first time they fail.
Bruce Gilliland, 4INM
Alumnus urges
more hospitality
Editor, The Plainsman:
The answer to the complete
lack of Southern hospitality ex­hibited
when the NCAA wrestling
people came down here is proba­bly
due to the fact that this Uni­versity
does not have a public
relations director for sports. This
is, indeed, most unfortunate
since most universities do.
Some of the coaches told me
that they weren't sure they had
the right town (no banners of wel­come-
howdy or go elsewhere),
and accommodations were catch-as-
catch-can.
Of course, the usual letter was
sent out stating that those who
so desired could stay at a dorm.
Many of the coaches, wives and
wrestlers accepted.
I guess that Magnolia Dorm
was not too bad, particularly if
guests had been told to bring
their own sheets, pillows and
pillow-cases,but they were not.
Frankly, as both an alumnus
and a graduate student at this
University, I am disgusted,
ashamed and embarrassed by
this lack of attention paid to the
first national anything we have
ever had here.
Again, I can only reiterate, we
should have, as other universi­ties
do-a public relations direc­tor
for sports.
Then, if we are ever chosen as
the site of a national exhibition
again, (which is optimistic) we
might replace the bitter taste of
Auburn with the sweet taste of
Southern hospitality that is the
potential of a great Southern uni­versity.

Faculty earns
senior's praise
Editor, The Plainsman*
I would like the whole world
to know how some Auburn Uni­versity
folk have gone out of
their way to help me.
After my freshman year at Au­burn,
I got the urge to wander. I
went to Los Angeles where I
was literally scared into the Air
Force. After three years and an
unfortunate accident, I was re­tired.
Being a tiger at heart, I ven­tured
to Auburn where I met
James A. Nolan, assistant to the
dean, School of Business. He
added to my confidence and gave
me the initial kick to get me
started.
Summer quarter, 1970, I had
George M. Horn, assistant pro­fessor
of management. He was
"Yankee" and I knew he would
be rough. To my surprise, he
was typically Auburn, right on!
He made it just rough enough on
me to make me put forth a little
extra. Now, I really appreciate
it.
As a result of my accident in
the Air Force I must take speech
therapy. The people at the
Speech and Hearing Clinic in
Haley Center have been great-particularly
Sara Hamilton and
Cathy Bearden. There people
changed my way of thinking
from "I think I can" to "I know
I can."
As I chose finance for my
major, I met Dr. Leonard A.
Robinson, Department of Ac­counting
and Finance. This guy
is cool. He can make you laugh
while teaching you a lesson.
His efforts combined with
Nolan's are going to make De­cember,
1971, a fine time for
me-my graduation from the best
-— (censored) school anywhere-
Auburn.
Let me also thank William R.
Myles, associate professor of
management and Edward Alban,
instructor in economics and ge­ography
for their help and under­standing.
Also, anyone I might have
overlooked, thank you too.
As graduation gets nearer I
think, "Damn, it's great to be a
tiger-Auburn style!"
R. E. Berger, !4FI
Student says
teacher unfair
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am a student and I am angry.
I won't start fires and I won't
plant bombs but I will give my
opinion. It is my right and that is
why I am writing.
I am writing in reference to the
actions taken by a particular ins­tructor
during an examination on
Feb. 25. In my opinion, a grade,
regardless of the preparation on
the part of the student, should
be held in the strictest confi­dence
between the student and
the instructor.
The instructor during this par­ticular
exam, by holding my paper
before the class, made clear the
fact that my grade was one of the
less desirable.
Being a college-level instruc­tor,
this person should be a type­setter
, a leader, and should set
an example. Given this responsi­bility,
this person did not have
the privilege to exploit my right
to discretion. She exceeded not
only her privileges as an ins­tructor,
but her rights as an in­dividual,
as a result of her ac­tions.
It was not only her ac­tions
that made me angry, but
their connotations.
This person should consider
exactly what her rights and pri­vileges
are, as an instructor, in
relation to those around her. Only
after this consideration should
this person act.

THE AUBURN PUINSMAN -6 Friday, April 2, 1971

m i Last week, the campus was covered with posters announcing

Ralph Nader. However, the mangled Chevrolet that appeared
on the grass in front of Haley Center was Nader's best advertisement. Both Nader
and the car were presented by Horizons Symposium.
'Boredom, size and ideology cited
main causes of campus unrest
The real reason for stu­dent
unrest and conflict is
not found in outward politi­cal
events, Russell Kirk
said here in a recent address.
Vietnam is only a "pre­text,"
he said, recommending
the reading of the Ford
Foundation Report released
by the government this week
which cites the underlying
causes for disruptive activi­ties
on the nation's campuses.
Boredom, size and ideolo­gy,
the nationally syndicated
columnist and author said,
are responsible. Solutions to
the problems are suggested
by the causes.
Higher learning is deca­dent,
he continued. "There
is a loss of objective; no
aim. The real reason for
education is the acquiring of
wisdom and virtue."
But "rigorous intellectual
stimulation" is only sought
by a minority, with those who
go to college for a "general
education" comprising an­other
small percent. Voca­tional
opportunities and job
certification are other tan­gible
reasons, leaving 51 per­cent
of today's college stu­dents
in school to "get out
of the draft or because their
parents or society expect
them to go to college."
Kirk suggested that the

SSI relocates office
Student Services Incor­porated
(SSI), the non-profit
organization which operates
refrigerator rentals and the
Off-Campus Association, has
moved from the Student Gov­ernment
Association offices
in the Union Building to an
office in Auburn Hardware
store.
Chester Harvey, SSI sec­retary,
stated that the move
was made because of a
clause included in Article
III, Section 3, of the original
incorporation papers for SSI
which said that one purpose
of the corporation would be
' 'to set up an office off cam­pus
in which a part-time
secretary will be employed.''
The move was also made
because SSI was told by the
administration early last
quarter that they would not
be permitted to use Univer­sity
facilities for their opera­tions,
since they were not a
chartered student organiza­tion.
"The services which we
are now offering to students
include membership in the
Off-C am p u s Association,
which eliminates the need to
pay costly utility deposits,
and rental of a truck for any
type of moving jobs at a price
of $1 per hour," said Har­vey.
"There are no more re­frigerators
available for
spring quarter," he added.

Friday, April 2, 1971 7- THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN
Benedictine sister teaches classes, works on masters
THE YOUNG WOMAN
draws open stares as she
moves through the crowds
of students on campus. No­ticing
her walking to classes
in Haley Center, one
may well react: "That's anun!
What is a nun doing at Au­burn?"
Sister Marian, who left
Dublin, Ireland after finish­ing
high school to come to
America, is a Benedictine
sister studying toward her
master's degree here in
English. A graduate of St.
Bernard College near Cul­lman,
she is the first sister
of her community to attend
graduate school at Auburn.
As a graduate student,
she teaches two English
courses as well as attend­ing
classes herself. The
sister began her studies at
Auburn last summer and
hopes to finish by summer
quarter of 1971.
Although Sister Marian,
who is exactly five feet tall,
has taught in several Al­abama
grade schools and
spent last year at John Car­roll
High School in Birming­ham,
her classes at Auburn
have been her first experi­ence
in college teaching.
"The first day I was kind
of scared," she said. "When
I walked into my first class,
there was this loud collec­tive
gasp. I realized then
that I might be scared, but
those kids were petrified.
It was their first class in
college and they didn't know
what to expect-and then
their teacher turns out to be
a nun. But after that it work­ed
out."
Now she finds her stu­dents
"very pleasant and
responsive."
A member of the Sacred
Heart Convent in Cullman,
Sister Marian decided to
try the life of a nun after
she finished Goldenbridge
National School in Dublin.
She wanted to become a
Benedictine sister but knew
that nuns of this order in
Europe are cloistered and
rarely go out into the world.

Although she has returned
to Dublin twice to visit her
family, Sister Marian intends
to stay in Alabama. "I feel
settled here. Someday I may
even become a citizen.''
Sister Marian lists some
of the difficulties of living
outside a convent as finding
a place to live, grocery shop­ping,
budgeting, cooking for
herself (I'm not very good
yet") and the largest head­ache-
tax forms. While in
Auburn, she is staying with
Mrs. Marion Spidle, former
dean of the school of Home
Economics.
In teaching her classes,
she tries to avoid discus­sions
on religion. "I'm not
here to crusade. My purpose
is not evangelistic."
Sister Marian
On the street, attention
focuses on her black knee-length
skirt, white blouse
topped by a black jacket
and shoulder-length black
veil. Meeting open stares
around campus is discon­certing,
she said, "but I
don't notice it so much any­more.
Maybe I'm getting
used to i t ."
Sister Marian feels that
"it is more honest for me
to wear a habit."
She has found that most
people in Auburn don't real­ly
know how to address her.
"Although Sister Marian is
correct, I've been called
Sister Marian Davis, Miss
Davis, Sister Marian, Sister
Davis," she smiled. "I told
my classes they can call
me Miss Davis if it makes
them feel more comfortable,
but I think most of the stu­dents
refer to me as 'Sister
Marian' when talking with
someone. Usuallv talking to
me they just use'ma'am'."
Sister Marian said she
finds most of the people of
the South "exceptionally
friendly. "
"Southernersare more like
the Irish than Northerners.
There is a slower pace of
living here as in Ireland,
the people are not as rush­ed

The Mental Health Service
at Auburn is sponsoring a
Study Partners Program for
students in need of help in
the fields of history, bio­logy
or mathematics.
The program, in operation
since October, is designed
on a student-to-student ba­sis
with three outstanding
students in each field avail­able
for tutoring services.
Martha Parks, 3GPO, Bill
Cox, 3BI, and Bill Pugh,
4GMH, will be in rooms 1206,
1208 and 1222 of Haley Cen­ter,
respectively, from 7
until 10:30 p.m. week nights
to answer questions con­cerning
homework, exams or
problems of study habits or
vocation.
Students in need of ad­vice
can find help through
these tutors or the coun­selors
of the Mental Health
Service.
Dr. Richard Hark, Auburn
faculty member and director
of the program, plans to add
more tutors in the future if
the need arises and hopes
all students will take ad­vantage
of the free service
offered and become familiar
with other services of the
Mental Health Department.

MfeeJr in review Review
Calley's conviction
sparks protests
FT. BENNING,Ga..-Lt. William L. Calley was sen­tenced
to life imprisonment. Wednesday, after being
convicted Monday on charges of killing Vietnamese ci­vilians
at My Lai hamlet, slightly more than three
years ago. This weekend, Calley will either be trans­ferred
to the Army's disciplinary barracks at Ft. Lea­venworth
or released pending appeal,
years ago. Calley has been released, on President
Nixon's orders, during automatic appeal procedures
that may last several years
Calley's conviction has aroused much controversy
around the nation. Mass marches and: "free-Calley,'
demonstrations have been staged at many places,
including Ft. Benning, nearby Columbus, and Washing­ton,
D.C. Both Calley and his lawyers have received
hundreds of telegrams of support.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. -Gov. George Wallace has
ordered the state selective service director to deter­mine
if he can lawfully suspend the draft in Alabama
until President Nixon pardons Lt. William Calley.
Wallace has also said that he will travel to Columbus
this weekend for a meeting with concerned citizens.
Speaking in Tuscaloosa, Wednesday night, Sen.
Edward M. Kennedy said that perhaps "thoughtful con­templation"
by Americans may be the one good thing
to come out of the Calley court martial. He said the
nation's attention has been turned to the "morality of
the war."
"This was a tragedy for Calley, a tragedy for the
people killed over there and a tragedy for the Army,"
said Kennedy.
NEW ORLEANS, L.a.-The U.S. Fifth Circuit Court
of Appeals upheld, Wednesday, the dismissal of two
Alabama State University instructors who claimed they
were fired because of opposition to school policies.
A federal judge in Birmingham ruled earlier that the
Montgomery college had the right to decide against
renewing the contracts of Willie Fluker and Richard
Parsons since both did not have tenure. The pair lost
their jobs last year.
MONTGOMERY, Ala.-The gavel rapped this
spring's special session of the Alabama Legislature
to order Wednesday evening, and the legislators, after
hearing Gov. George Wallace's opening address calling
for millions of dollars in additional state operating
funds, are in committee hearings deliberating over the
$256 million, in bond issues, requested to keep state
programs, from building roads to Medicare, afloat until
budget-writing later this spring.
If approved, the bonds will push the state's debts
past the $1 billion mark for the first time in Ala­bama's
history.

Dr. Brittin publishes
new college textbook
Dr. Norman A. Brittin,
Hollifield Professor of Eng­lish
and Literature here, has
just published his third col­lege
textbook, "A Reading
Apprenticeship," to be used
as a companion book to "A
Writing Apprenticeship,"
first published in 1963 and
revised in 1968.
The new text, for use in
freshman English classes,
was published by Holt, Rine-hart
and Winston, Inc., and
carries 20 short stories, one
full-length play, two short
plays and nearly 100 poems.
Although some traditional
"good example" stories are
used, much of the fiction in­cluded
has not appeared in
other anthologies. A new
writer, Joyce Carol Oates,
for example, who won the
National Book Award last
year with "Them," is in­cluded.
There is also a story by
Paul Brodeur published re­cently
in the New Yorker.
Arthur Miller's tragedy, "A
View from the Bridge," is
the full-length play.
The poetry has a "baker's
dozen" arrangement by sub­ject
matter, formal concerns
and themes and contains
contemporary writers.
Brittin has been on the
Auburn English faculty since
1948. In 1962 he became a
lecturer at the University
of Puerto Rico, returning to
Auburn in 1966. He was a
Fulbright Lecturer in Spain
in 1968-69, and he taught at
the University of La Laguna
in the Canary Islands.

Friday, April 2,1971 9- THE AUBURN PUINSMXN
These ten men were the na-
ChflinpiOflS tional champions in the ten
weight divisions at the na­tional
wrestling tournament held here last week.
Kneeling, from left to right are Rober Welget, Dar^
Why are southern
grapplers behind?
As the NCAA national wrestling championships ap­proached
last week, I looked forward to the successes that
would certainly come to the four Auburn entrants and the
other wrestlers representing the SEC. I had heard that
wrestling in SEC was not even in the same class as that
in the Big Eight Conference, but just how much difference
can there be in two guys that weigh 118 pounds and have
been working out for several months?
The Tigers had qualified four men, Eddie Rew, Jim Voss,
Mike Roberts, and Al Thompson, along with Alabama's
rell Keller, Geoff Baum, Yoshira Fujita, and Greg
Wojciechowshi, Ben Peterson, Carl Adams, An­drew
Matter and Steve Dziedzie. The three national
champs for Oklahoma allowed the Cowboys to win
the team title.
Speaking of Sporfs
Sports Editor
Randy Donaldson
Thompson wasn't trying, because he obviously was, but
something just didn't seem right.
A real surprise . . .
Then Krapf s match was a real surprise. Krapf had been
undefeated in his college wrestling except for a loss to
his teammate at Alabama, John Hannah, and his matches
against Thompson had been very impressive. So, in his
first (and as it turned out for him, last) round match he
was punished by 260 pound Geary Murdock of Iowa State
by the score of 14-1 and spent most of that eight minutes
on his back, trying to avoid a pin.
What is the difference? With that question in mind, I ap­proached
a man that would definitely qualify as an expert
on the matter. Harold Nichols has been coach at Iowa State
for 18 years, has won three national wrestling titles in the
last 7 years, and in 1965 was named amateur wrestling's
man of the year. Iowa State has had 28 national title
holders over the years and finished second in this year's
tourney.
Steve Dildine and Jim Krapf, and LSU's Jules Plaisance
all coming from the SEC by getting through the regional
tournament. Roberts was tabbed by some coaches at these
regional as the best wrestler there, and Thompson was good,
too, even though Krapf had beaten him three times because
everyone could see that Krapf was the best around.
What happened? . . .
So what happened? Of the ten matches that these wrest­lers
participated in, they won two, one by Roberts in the
first round and another by Plaisance in the consolations
after he had been beaten in his first match. Rew was pin­ned
by someone that made it to the quarter finals, Voss was
decisioned by someone that was defeated in his next match,
and both Thompson and Krapf bit the dust in the first
round.
The matches of these two heavyweights were the ones
that finally got me to believe that there was something to
the idea of a difference in quality of the wrestling in the
South. Thompson was decisioned 9-6, and it was really
closer than that. His opponent, Jim Hagen, of Oregon State,
got one of his points for riding time and two more on a
takedown in the last few seconds of the match.
What was shocking about the match was that Hagen gave
up about 50 pounds to Thompson. True, this made him a
good deal quicker, but the difference in size was so great
that it appeared that Thompson should be able to pick
Hagen up if he wanted to. This is not to suggest that
Very simple answer.
"Well, I think it is very simple why the Big Eight schools
dominate wrestling," said Nichols. "Wrestling has been a
big time sport in my section of the country since the early
twenties, when the first collegiate tournaments were held,
along with the beginning of high school competition."
"Consequently, we became known through the years as
the teams that were of the best caliber and were able to
recruit the best wrestlers from all over the nation. In es­sence,
we had a 20 year head start on the South and the
rest of the nation."
"Of course, here at Auburn, there has always been a
good program under Coach Umbach. When I coached at
Arkansas State before going to Iowa State, we always had
a tough time when we wrestled Auburn."
"Probably the main difference, however, is that we can
have as many as 24 wrestling scholarships operating at the
same time," Nichols continued, "and that is even fewer
than Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. That is almost three
or four times more than schools down here give."
"I think that the tournament here compares with the best
of those that have been put on in my years at Iowa State.
Coach Umbach has really put on a good show."
Coach Nichols was not a completely satisfied man after
the tournament ended, however, because his charges, who
had been favored to repeat their national championship of
last year, finished a distant second to Oklahoma State.
Nichols had an answer to the reason for this downfall.
See page 10, Col. 7
Okla. St. tops NCAA
with Keller, friends
The defeat of a man that
had defeated a legend, a
definite lack of SEC com­petition,
and Oklahoma
State's 28th national title
all were featured at the
impressively staged NC­AA
national wrestling
tournament held here last
week.
The Cowboys from Okla­homa
State soundly defeated
the Iowa State Hawkeyes, the
team favored to win the cham­pionship,
by the scores of
94-66, with Michigan State,
Penn State, Oregon State
finishing in the next three
spots.
While these teams were
battling it out for the top
spots, SEC representatives
were bowing to their compe­tition,
with the exception of
Mike Roberts of Auburn and
Jules Plaisance of LSU,wh<
each won one match.
The three days of wres­tling,
with over 400 matches
involved, ended with a small
crowd of 5981 attending the
finals, in which the national
champion in the ten different
weight classes was deter­mined.
The champions, pictured
elsewhere on this page, were
Greg Johnson, Michigan
State, 118 lbs., Yoshira Fu­jita,
Oklahoma State, 126
lbs., Roger Weigel, Oregon
State, 134 lbs., Darrell Kel­ler,
142 lbs., Steve Dziedzie,
Slippery Rock, 150 lbs., Carl
Adams, Iowa State, 158 lbs.
Andrew Matter, Penn State,
167 lbs., Geoff Baum, Okla­homa
State, 177 lbs., Ben
Peterson, Iowa State, 190
lbs., and Greg Wojciechowski
of Toledo, heavyweight.
The two most exciting
matches of the evening in­volved
the twins from Okla­homa
State, Dwayne and
Darrell Keller in the 134 and
142 lbs. weight classes. In
Dwayne's case, it was his

Face Gators today
By Ray Wheeler
Assistant Sports Editor
The Auburn Tigers baseball squad meets the always
tough Florida Gators in Gainesville today and tomorrow
after having played doubleheaders in each of their last
seven outings.
The two game set against
the Gators is a crucial test
for the Tigers, for it seems
that the eastern division
title of the SEC race usually
boils down to the results of
the head-on confrontations
of these two teams.
Going into the two game
set, the Tigers have com­piled
a 9-6 season mark,
after being 5-1 at one point
of the Dolphin Classic held
in Jacksonville, Fla., during
spring break. They won their
first game, swept a double-header,
split two consecu­tive
doubleheaders, and then
lost a doubleheader in the
last day of the Classic.
The scores of these games
were a 6-4 win over Navy,
an 11-4 victory over Jack­sonville,
a 17-4 smashing of
Cincinnati, a split of four
games against Miami of Ohio,
7-1. 6-4, 1-5, and 4-13, and
two losses to Western Michi­gan,
7-6, and 11-9.
The baseballers returned
home to meet Tennessee in
an important series and split
that doubleheader, winning
the first game of the day 4-3,
before losing the second
6-5. The first game's win­ning
run came on a bases
loaded walk issued to Joey
Martin.
Prospects looked bright
for a sweep, too, as the Ti­gers
jumped to a 4-0 lead in
the early innings of the sec­ond
game. But Tennessee
was able to tie the score at
5-5, and went on to win it
in extra innings on a home-run.
Auburn was able to sweep
another in the series of twin
bills the next day against
West Georgia as they pounded
the Georgians for 16 runs in
the two games, 10-4 and 6-0.
In their last games, the
Tigers traveled to Mobile to
meet the Jaguars of South
Alabama, under the direction
of ex-major league star Eddie
Stanky. Stanky has gathered
a fine club this season, as
his team has compiled a 15-
2 mark before the twin bill
with the Tigers.
Senior Earl Nance led the
Tigers to a 3-2 win oyer
South Alabama in the first
game, but according to Coach
Paul Nix, Auburn was "em­barrassed"
in the second
game as the Jaguars romped,
9-2. Part of the problem was
the fact that Rick Eisen-acher,
who had been sche­duled
to pitch the second
game, was not able to be­cause
of arm trouble.
The next home encounter
for the Tigers is a three
game series against Ken­tucky
April 9 and 10. Below
is the remainder of the base­ball
schedule

against Owings was 181-0-0,
but Owings defeated him.
This made Owings the
most feared wrestler to com­pete
in the tournament this
year. Keller was not impres­sed,
though, because he im­mediately
took a four point
lead over Owings, and went
on to defeat him 16-12.
For his remarkable effort,
Darrell Keller was named
the most outstanding wres­tler
of the tournament, ahead
of teammate Fujita and
Weigel. Larry Laush, of Okla­homa,
won the award for most
falls in the least time.
A pro? John Mengelt guards the all-time
LSU great Pete Maravich. With
Mengelt's drafting by Cincin-natti
of the NBA this week, this scene could be re­peated
again next year, as both Maravich and Mengelt
would be in the same division. Mengelt is not committed
to the NBA club, however, since he was also drafted
by Indiana of the ABA.
Mengelt is NBA's
21st draft choice
3y Richard Little
Plainsman Intramurals Editor
Cincinnati Royal coach Bob Cousey, a one-time all-star
guard in his own right, seemed elated with pick of Auburn's
John Mengelt in the second round of the National Basket­ball
Association's draft Monday.
Mengelt was also chosen
earlier in the third round of
the American Basketball
Association's draft by the
Indiana Pacers.
Both Cincinnati and Indi­anapolis,
the home of the
Pacers, are near Mengelt's
home in Elwood, Indiana,
and it is uncertain who he
will sign with. He may re­ceive
as much as $100,000
for signing, according to re­ports.
In New York City for an
all-star game, Mengelt was
reported as "real happy with
Cincinatti. I like the way
Bob Cousey coaches. But,
we're going to sit down and
talk to both and see which
is the best offer. I have no
league preference."
"I had heard that Los An­geles
was going to pick me
in the first round," continued
Mengelt, "But I don't know
what happened. I think the
trade for Robinson had some­thing
to do with it, but I
don.t know."
Auburn coach Bill Lynn,
hearing about the draft, re­marked,
"I think he will
play. I had no doubt fromthet
start that he would be picked
high. They got a good one-a
hard worker."
"I talked to Cousey, and
his assistant, and both were
high on John. I feel sure he
will start, especially after
the trade of Robinson,"
Lynn said.
Mengelt was the first
guard to be picked in the
ABA draft, ahead of Can-arid
Marquette's DeanMemin-ger.
He was also the first
player from the SEC to be
picked ahead of such stars
as Jimmy England of Ten­nessee,
Thorpe Weber of
Vanderbilt, Larry Steele of
Kentucky, and Don Johnson
of Tennessee.
He was also chosen, in
the NBA draft, ahead of
Rich Yunkus of Georgia
Tech, Greg Northington of
Alabama State, Jim McDan-iels
of Western Kentucky,
and Dave Robisch of Kansas.
In the middle of all the
praise, Mengelt seems to
have a great chance to be
the first Auburn basketball
player to make it big in the
pros. His best chance seems
to be with Cincinnatti, which
finished third in their divi­sion,
out of the playoffs,
while the Pacers won their
division title for the second
straight year.
Assuming all this, the
$100,000 plateau does not
seem unreal for Mengelt.
And, if he goes to Cincin­natti,
it might be interesting
to watch his duals with
another guard in the Royals
division, Atlanta's Pete
Maravich.
Cousey also seemed quite
surprised at having a chance
at Mengelt. "We were real
high on John. I hadn't seen
him play, but my assistant
had, and he really liked
him," said cousey.
"In fact," added Cousey,
"John was the guard we
most wanted, except for
Austin Carr." Carr was the
number one pick in the NBA
draft.
The chances for Mengelt's
success were enhanced by
the Royals trading of start­ing
guard Flynn Robinson,
for a third round draft pick.
THE AUBURN PUINSMM -10 Friday, April 2, 1971
Tigers to meef Tide,
Tennessee on tube
The annual battle between Auburn and Alabama will be
televised nationally Nov. 27 according to the fall schedule
of football games announced by ABC..
The ggaammee will take the braska loss in the '63 Orange
place of the Southern Cal-ifornia-
Notre Dame game as
part of a double header of
college football that after­noon,
as earlier in the day
Army and Navy will play.
Also, the Tigers will play
the Tennessee Vols in a con­test
that will be televised
regionally Sept. 25.
While it is always nice to
watch the Tigers play games
rather than have to listen to
them only, the coaches prob­ably
cringe some at the idea
of playing on the tube.
Since 1962, Auburn has
played in 11 games that were
televised, and have been able
to come away with only three
victories, OleMiss last Jan­uary,
Arizona St. in the '68
Sun Bowl and Florida in '65.
All the rest have been los­ses,
starting with the Ne-
Bowl and ending with the
loss to Georgia last fall. In
between were the disasters
to Tennessee in *69 and
Houston in the Bluebonnet
Bowl in '69, as well as the
squaekers to LSU in '69 and
. squeakers i '64.
Many people have attri­buted
Jim Plunkett's win­ning
of the Heisman Trophy
to the great show he put on
in Stanford's nationally tele­vised
game against Arkansas.
However, the game against
'Bama, jf it is to be tele­vised
will have no bearing
on the Heisman Trophy bal­loting
of 1971, because the
votes for it have to be sent
in before the date of the
game.
Auburn linksmen
in tourney today
Coach Sonny Dragoin and the Auburn Golf team compete
in the Major College Invitational in Knoxville today and to­morrow
after having beaten both Notre Dame and Kentucky
earlier this season.
Speaking of Sports Continued from page 9.
"We lost four national champions from last year's team,
and it is very difficult to replace men of that caliber. But,
every man that competed in this meet will return next year
and with two champs this year, we should be very tough
next season."
The South may rise again, but it will most likely not
happen next year in wrestling competition.

"We're in fine shape for
this season," Cox said.
"We have two more tourna­ments
in our schedule than
last year and they will help
us sharpen our skills by
challenging the squad more."

Bresler cops first
in Florida Relays
By Jerry Hester
Assistant Sports Editor
Milton Bresler captured first place in the 440-year Inter­mediate
hurdles at the Florida relays, Auburn's first meet
of the outdoor season.
This week, Auburn will
compete with other SEC
and ACC teams in the Caro­lina
Relays at Charleston,
South Carolina.
Bresler's win was Au­burn's
first in the Relays
since 1967. His time of
51.8 tied the meet record,
while his brother Alvin got
third place with a time of
52.3.
The mile relay team, made
up of the Breslers, Bobby
Scott, and Greg Hamm fin­ished
second. Although no
other Auburn men scored
in the meet, there were
some good individual per­formances
turned in.
In the Carolina Relays,
'Atfburn should place' in
most'of the events. Along
with the mile relay and the
440 yd. hurdles, Auburn
will enter a two-mile re­lay
team of Greg Hamm,
Kit Brendle, Jim Pratt, and
Dick Saunders and a sprint
medley team of Ernie Cope,
Bobby Baker, Charlie Fra-zier
and Kit Brendle.

S/iop aids creativity
By Martha Evans
Plainsman Features Editor
The sign on the door was
scrawled, sloppily "This is
an arts and crafts shop. It
is a nonprofit shop whose
purpose is to help local
artists and craftsmen, stu­dent
and non-student, dis­play
and sell their work as
well as to stimulate interest
and provide an added cultural
experience for the city of
Auburn."
The shop, the shape of a
shoe box, occupied a building
on College Street until April
1 when demolition (if U pro­ceeded
as scheduled when
the Plainsman went to press)
claimed the site.
At any rate, its founder,
John Horzempa, must find a
new home for the crafts shop,
and he's having problems.
"I think it's my hair," he
confessed, twining one
lengthy strand around his
finger as he told how one
landlord had turned down
his request to rent a room
for the shop.
Opened during the break
between winter and spring
quarter, the shop's financial
outlook, though still not
bright, improved considerably
from a late Saturday after­noon
total of about S2 to a
Monday (the first day of
classes) total of some S18.
Horzempa explained that
each contributor sets the
price at which his art or
other handwork will be sold.
If the object sells, the shop
gets 30 percent to cover ex­penses.
If the shop relocates
successfully and begins to
operate in the black, all
profits over expenses will"
go either to the bail fund or
the crisis center, organ­ized
after the death of John
Eric Johnson in February.
Just inside the door at the
College Street site, a woven
straw horn of plenty, serving
as a collection plate for
donations to the bail fund,
sat on a low table. The horn
held 45 cents.
Also on the table was a
book with blank white pages
with these instructions on
the first page: "If you of
Auburn would care to donate
a few moments of time to
spread your best poetry to
those who might later read
this book, it would make
those lives a little more
rich..."
The instructions ended
with a final request for "just
a poem and your name."
1 NOW THRU SATURDAY j
According to Horzempa,
the poetry book is another
device for getting both stu­dents
and Auburn residents
involved in a creative act.
"A lot of times someone
will come in and look at the
book. I'll ask him, 'Do you
write?' Often, he'll say,
'Well, no I don't.' Then I
say, 'Well, why don't you?*
That at least starts him
thinking about i t ," Horzempa
explained.
One short comic poem is
titled "TheMirrow": "When
you sit/on top/of the com­mode/
It sees/you."
Another begins: "Helter
Skelter Brandy-Wine/It s time
to write a poem/Sitting here
alone./Looked i n s i d e my
mind./Playing with a pencil/
To see what I might find...'.'
The poem then develops
as a conversation with a
toad.
Topics for more lyric ex­amples
ranged from love to
loneliness.
Besides the table at the
entrance, another low table
holds a variety of pottery-odd-
shaped cups, intricate
candleholders and more
traditionally shaped bowls
and vases.
The "chairs" along the
walls are sections of two
trees which were recently
cut down in front of the
store.
Dated March 17, an essay
beginning "This is one of
Auburn's worst days..." and
a s e r i e s of pen-and-ink
sketches drawn by Horzempa
in the poetry book catalogue
the felling of the two trees.
" I t ' s cold and it's 6:24
in the morning," the essay
continues. And at6:36 a.m.:
"One is cut and out of the
way."
Paintings line the walls,
a very blue eye s t a r i ng
constantly from one. Three
loaves of f r e s h l y baked
bread, still hot, sit invit­ingly
in one of a series of
cardboard boxes fastened
together and suspended from
the ceiling to make shelves.
Paper flowers made by
two 10-year-old girls clash
with a plaid cloth covering
the table the flowers sit on.
At the back of the store,
beautiful shawls made by
"an older lady, not a stu­dent"
are laid c a r e f u l ly
across a rack.
Obviously pleased, Hor­zempa
pointed around the
room: "See, we have the
basics, shawls to keep peo­ple
warm, poetry to keep
their heads together..."

wars, the t w e n t i e s , the
thirties and the now genera­tion.
Among the dances being

varsity drag, Charleston and
trucking.

Opera set
for Apr. 3
The Down Home Opera
Company will present a one-hour
program Saturday at 8
p.m. at the Auburn Univer­sity
Theatre. Admission is
free with no reserved seats.
Co-directed by Sam Tim-berlake
and Miss Mary Joe
Howard, the program will
feature seven student per­formers.
According to Timberlake,
three numbers are scheduled:
a duet from ''Hansel and
Gretel" by "the real" En-gelbert
Humperdinck, a nine­teenth
century German com­poser;
another duet, "II
Campanello" ("The Night
Bell") by D o n i z e t t i and
"Empressario" by Mozart.
The duet from "Hansel
and Gretel" is sung by Re­becca
Miller, 1MU, and
Brenda Sue Knapp, 4SED.
In "IICampanello," Philip
Preston, 3MU, as Enrio ("a
dashing young man-about-town
in the nineteenth cen­tury")
discovers that his be­loved
Serafina (Connie May,
1MU) has married an elderly
nobleman for security.
In the confrontation which
follows, Serafino accuses
Enrio of having been unfaith­ful
to her before her marriage
with two different girls. En­rio
denies the accusation,
explaining the correct num­ber
is three.
The Mozart piece is a
satire on artistic preten­sions.
Lemone Yielding, 1SED,
as the Empressario, Linda
Tucker, 4SED, as Madame
Goldentrill and Evonne Dea-son,
3MU, as Mademoiselle
Silverpeal form the cast,
with Preston reappearing in
a minor role.
The operatic plot involves
the Empressario's efforts to
hire two prima donna sopra­no
F for a summer engage­ment
at his opera house. The
two, both peacock-vain, re­fuse
to appear together in
the Empressario's planned
production of "Suicide."
