Tucker, Stegall runoff today after 47% vote
Thursday's spring elections
saw a record turnout of voters
sweep the first black candidate
in Auburn's history into the Student
Government Association
(SGA) vice-presidency, but voters
were stumped over which of an
unprecedented five candidates
should serve as SGA president.
Anthony Copeland, 3BA, won
79 per cent of the vote to defeat
Ed Gibbs, 4INM, for vice-president.
A run-off election today
will decide the contest between
Jimmy Tucker, 3ME, and Bill
Stegall, 3ME, for president.
Geoff Ketchum, 3BA, won
3,221 votes to defeat Mike Culpepper
who won 2,426 votes for
SGA treasurer. Ketchum's percentage
was 58; Culpepper's
was 42 per cent.
Forty-seven per cent of the
student body-5649-voted, giving
this election the largest turnout
in Auburn history.
Tucker led the field of five
candidates in the presidential
race, receiving 1,932 votes for
34.6 per cent of the votes cast.
Stegall was a close second with
1,782 votes for 32 per cent.
Tucker
According to the SGA constitution,
a presidential candidate
must receive 40 per cent
of the votes-2,259-cast to win.
Pat Curtis, 3ED, received
1069 votes for 19 per cent, Jim
Spivey, 3LOP, received 673
votes for 12 per cent, and Frank
Bondurant, 4CN, received 131
votes for 1 per cent.
Sfegafl Copeland
Copeland won in every box, receiving
4,190 votes to 1,457 for
Gibbs.
Ketchum defeated Culpepper
by a vote of 3,221 to 2,426, or
58 per cent to 42 per cent.
The polls will be open for the
run-off from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m.
There will be eight voting machines
on the Haley Center patio,
one in Thach, one in Miller, one
in the lobby of the new Veterinary
Medicine Building, two in
Commons, one in Comer, one in
the Home Economics Building,
one in Smith, one in Biggin, and
two in the Ramsay Archway.
Tucker attributed the large
turnout for the election to the
number of candidates and to the
fact that this year's campaign
was one of issues. He said that
the most important issue was
"relevancy." He also emphasized
that there was an increasing
interest in the SGA and that
his greatest concern will be to
represent the students more
closely.
He said that one of the main
fokkm
duties of the president should
be to work with the administration
but not to back down from
it.
Stegall felt that this year, for
the first time, the students had
a choice of candidates. He felt
that one of the basic issues in
the campaign was what he called
a "students' bill of rights."
Usually, he said, candidates
talk about general things. This
year they have been more concerned
with specifics such as
women's rights and how the University
rules relate to students.
Both Stegall and Tucker felt
that next year's campaign should
be more limited in the amount of
money spent. This, they felt,
would allow students without a
great deal of financial backing
to have a chance to run for executive
office.
As vice-president, Copeland
says he will make the senate
more responsive to student
opinion and attempt to make it
an action organization. He said
he wants the senate to reach
out for student opinion.
Ketchum said that the large
voter turnout is a sign that the
SGA is becoming more relevant
and more student-oriented. He
plans to organize the executive
cabinet, to coordinate more with
the senate and AWS, to encourage
student membership on the
curriculum committee and expand
the Student Emergency Loan
Fund.

Meal tickets, curfews
major gripes of coeds
By Carmel Parsons
Plainsman Staff Writer
Dissatisfaction with the present Associated Women Students
(AWS), dorm and University rules was expressed at an open
rules workshop held by AWS Tuesday night.
Abolishment of all curfews,
infractions and restrictions and
the establishment of a non-compulsory
meal ticket plan proved
to be the foremost topics of the
meeting.
Anita Page, newly-elected
president of AWS, received the
suggestion for the replacement
of the present meal ticket plan
with a coupon program. This
program would allow any student,
male or female, to purchase
only the number of coupons they
desired and use them for any
meal served in the dining halls.
Miss Page said she believes
that this would be an effective
program because it would save
students from paying for meals
not eaten due to conflicting
classes during regular dining
hall hours.
Opening dining halls to men
students, she said, would also
help the program because it
would counteract the probable

THE AUBURN PUINSMXN -2 April 16, 1971' Lack of funds for ETV
forces layoff of twenty
By Kevin Kilpatrick
Plainsman Staff Writer
Twenty student employees
were laid off by the Auburn
Educational Television station
(ETV) because of an
unexpected lack of funds
Ed. Wegener, director of ETV,
said.
Wegener stated that he
was told by Pres. Harry M.
Philpott on March 26 that
nearly $10,000 allocated to
ETV by the state would not
be available as promised.
To cover the deficit,
Wegener released all student
employees on the production
crews as well as several
other students on April 1.
The television station
normally hires students each
year to help with production,
according to Wegener, but
the 20 full-time staff members
will now handle all work at
the station.

Sponsored by the Campus

will also speak
Thursday at 9 p.m. in the

a discussion of the issue of

A graduate of Wheaton
College with a degree in
economic theory and a magna
cum laude graduate of
Talbott Theological Seminary,
McDowell has spoken
on more than 400 campuses
in 35 countries during the
last five years.
He returned last spring
from an extensive tour of
Latin America and in the
past three months, has spoken
to more than 100,000
college students throughout
the United States.
Banquet
The annual International
Banquet will be
held Saturday at 6:30 p.m.
at the Wesley Foundation.
The public is invited.
Admission is $2 for adults
and $1 for children.
Other economy measures
* have been taken by the station
to compensate for the
lack of funds. Several scheduled
specials have been
canceled and the mobile
unit will not be used as extensively
as in the past to
cover events such as the
Horizons Symposium.
One of the students, Jerry
Ray, 4GSP, stated, "I will
get through this quarter, but
will be hurting next quarter.''
Ray worked on production

'to stimulate

Four thousand copies of
Praxis, a new eight-page,
tabloid newspaper were
circulated on campus Wednesday
due to the efforts of
a large staff under the direction
of Mike Wazlavek, 3GJM-Jim
Mengel, 4GPA, spokesman
for Praxis, said the
main purpose, of the paper
"is to stimulate interest
and creativity on campus and
in the city" and that "the
first issue will be of interest
to students only."
The staff ran into several
problems in publishing its
first issue. Major difficulties
included finding a printer
and advertisers. Local printers
had all the work they
could handle so the paper
was taken to Atlanta on Tuesday
for publication.

but that others Were in far
worse shape than he.
According to Wegener,
ETV has been experiencing
other financial problems
prior to this. Some of the
cameras, for example, date
back to the mid-fifties and
have been completely rebuilt
by the staff. Several other
are in far worse condition
for the lack of spare parts.
The problem, Wegener said,
is not one of age, but rather
that the cameras are technologically
obsolete. In order
to keep up with the television
media, he said new color
cameras are needed.
Presently, in order to do
a color presentation for
national broadcasting, the
station must first film in
color and then send it out to
be processed.
Davis Barron, 4TH, who
still works at the station in
a non-paying capacity, said
that a changing to color
would involve a major expense
due to the necessary
rebuilding of the
entire control room, and purchasing
of expensive color
cameras.

April took edition

Criticism and defense of
the April Fool's edition of
The Plainsman were heard
last Friday by the Board of
Student'Communication s.
Many of the complaints,
brought by three students,
an administrator, a dormitory
housemother, and an alumnus,
were aimed at an article
which spoofed the University's
policy on dean's excuses
by stating that none
would be issued for a scheduled
appearance by "J. C.
Superstar."
In support of the April
Fool's issue, several SGA
officials stated that they
accepted their lampooning
as a joke and were not offended.
Wayne Creel, 3VM, said
the issue "went beyond
good taste." (Creel is the
author of a letter to the editor
on page five of this issue.)
Patricia Edmondson,
4SED, said the issue was
a bad reflection on the administration
and faculty of
Auburn.
In support of the issue,
former SGA Pres. Bob Douglas
and Horizons Symposium
Chairman Anthony Copeland
said though they were mentioned
frequently in the is-|
sue, they were not offended. '
The Board tabled the matter
and will discuss it again
at a meeting next week.

'Movie orgy'
to highlight
1950's flicks
A seven-hour collection
of films from the 1950's will
be shown April 23 at the
soccerfield from 8 p.m.
to 3 a.m.
Entitled, "The All-Night-
0 n c e -in-a-Lifetime-Atomic-
Movie-Orgy," the flicks are
being brought to Auburn
under the auspices of the
Horizons Symposium and are
sponsored by the Joseph
Schlitz Brewing Company.
Film clips from "The
Lone Ranger," "Hoppalong
Cassidy." "Mighty Mouse,"
"The Happy Tooth," "Howdy
Doody," "Jungle Jim,"
"The Millionaire," and
"Midnight the Wonder Horse"
will be among the thousands
of old flicks spliced together
to form the "orgy."
Promoters for the event
say that the films are "especially
geared for the
television and film addict
of the fifties" and will include
"not only spectacular
film successes, but also
some of the biggest flops."
Calling the collection a
"mind-boggling barrage of
celluloid hysteria," the promoters
warn that "the audience
will not be spared
from segments of some of
those fantastic mysteries,
science-fiction stories, and
horror flicks so prevalent
a decade or so ago." Admission
to this-"A 2001
Splice Odyssey "-will be
free to Auburn students.

April 16, 1971 THE AUBURN PUINSMMI
Wildlife artist to speak
The Alabama Conservancy
will present Ray Harm, Southern
wildlife artist, May 5 at
8 p.m. in Haley Center 2370,
who will speak on conservation.
His appearance will be co-sponsored
by the Department
of Fine Arts and the Auburn
Chamber of Commerce. Admission
is free.
Prof. Charles Hiers, chairman
of the Department of Fine
Arts, said, "This is a special
honor for Auburn. Ray
Harm is one of our finest,
living, wildlife artists. We
are delighted that his speaking
tour, on behalf of Alabama
conservationists, coincides
with Auburn's Fine
Arts Festival."
Hiers added that students
in the art department are arranging
a showing of Harm's
work for the night of his appearance.
Harm's speaking tour is
part of an effort to increase
membership in the Alabama
Conservancy, an organization
which works to protect
Alabama's natural environment.
Harm is donating a limited
edition of prints on a first-come,
first-serve basis to
new members and present
members who renew their
memberships.
Those interested may contact
Dr. Keith Causey, assistant
professor of zoology-entomology
at 826-4850.
"Harm is the son of a
mountaineer herb doctor.
Brought up in the remote
West Virginia mountain country,
forced to quit school in
the sixth grade, he now holds
three honorary, doctoral degrees
, invitations to the White
House, and an international
reputation for his excellent
paintings, which are highly
valued by collectors," said
Causey.
. Steve Woodley, manager of
the Chamber of Commerce,
pointed out that Auburn is
the smallest of five Alabama
towns Harm included on his
tour.
Causey, president of the
50-member Auburn chapter
of the Conservancy, composed
mostly of students,
points out that Harm is also
famous for his dedication to
conservation.
"But," he said, "we can
be proud that Auburn students
and citizens have contributed
a very large share of brain-work
and leg-work behind efforts
to protect Alabama's
environment."
Causey said that Harm has
traveled and explored the
Sierras, the Rockies, the Appalachians,
the plains and
the deserts of the United
States. Harm has been a rodeo
cowboy, an eastern mountaineer,
a radio operator and
a professional guitar player-magician.
Campus policemen Bennie J. Gross and Arnold E. Henry
Studfed have r e c e n t^y returned from the Alabama Police Academy.
The state-sponsored academy, designed for local law enforcement
agencies, trains policemen in all phases of general police work. Henry
was elect'ed president of the eight-week academy held in Montgomery.
Wednesday debut planned
for campus radio station
After numerous setbacks,
WEGL, campus radio station,
is scheduled to begin broadcasting
Wednesday at3 p.m.,
according to Station Manager
Rene Brinsfield.
Brinsfield stated that frequency
checks were completed
and that the license
application was mailed to
the Federal Communication
Commission office last Monday.
He said the station
should receive the go-ahead
within 10 days. WEGL is expected
to have a range approximately
equal to that of
WAUD.
An official opening ceremony
will be held April 25,
from 3 to 5 p.m.
The reason for the delays,
said Brinsfield, was the decision
to run an extensive
performance check instead
of a simple final equipment
run-through.
AU Circ/e K receives
awards for projects
Eighteen members of the
Auburn chapter of Circle K
attended the Circle K state
convention held in Birmingham
April 2-4, and received
several awards for their work
on service projects during
the past year.
The first place award for
overall achievement went
to Auburn. The group also
won recognition for the most
outstanding single service
for their work with the
children of Plainview Elementary
School. Circle K
took several disadvantaged
children from the school on
various field trips during
the year, to such places as
the state capitol in Montgomery,
the Birmingham Zoo,
Six Flags over Georgia,
and the circus in Birmingham.
The convention, which
included chapters from 23
Alabama colleges and universities,
also honored three
individual members from
Auburn. Paul Johnston, 4BA,
was elected state treasurer
for the group. Dennis Park-hurst,
4BA, was given the
Walker Curry Outstanding
Member Award and Butch
McKay, 4SED, was the winner
in the oratorical contest
held during the convention.
The chapter was also
given an award for attendance
at the convention for having
the largest number of members
travel the longest distance
to attend the meeting.

SGA Sections
Thursday's SGA elections made
exciting history at Auburn.
Interest was at an unprecedented
high as five competed for SGA president,
and the first black student to
seek office was swept to victory by
79 per cent of the largest voter turnout
ever recorded.
Those forward strides were offset
somewhat when the refreshingly spirited
Trout party's major candidates
were swept downstream in defeat,
Trout's time apparently not having
come. It appears that student government
next year will swim, as usual,
with the current of big Greek power
and acceptability.
But the new SGA will be strong
and decisive. With almost half of a
typically apathetic student body voting,
the administration cannot put
student government down as not being
representative.
We are happy that political interest
is so high; that political costs were
also high we are not so happy about.
But exorbitant campaign expenditures
may have been unavoidable in the
highly competitive race for SGA president.
We congratulate the winners whose
races were decided Thursday, and
we urge the losers to seek another
way to serve Auburn next year.
And let's keep this spirit up; get
out and vote today in the run-off!
Changes
Practicality and progressive thinking
have long been absent from the
image of Associated Women Students
(AWS) and its leaders. Thus, it has
been with incredulity that we have
observed Anita Page in her duties
since she was installed as AWS
president last quarter.
Her no-nonsense approach to the
problems of AWS is encouraging, and
we are hopeful that in the coming year,
her common sense will typify AWS
programs.
As a body for making and enforcing
rules which apply only to women,
when no comparable body exists to
make and enforce. rules over men,
AWS's days are numbered. The clamor
for equality of the sexes will not
permit unfair, if traditional, discrimination
against women forever.
The ways in which women students
are shown discrimination here are
many; some would argue that such
discrimiTratron,--iifee that involved in
present draft laws, serves to benefit
women. But in our view, any such
benefits are overwhelmingly countervailed
by the need for equality.
Living-learning centers which
would require coeducational dormitory
residency of freshmen seem to us
the only solution to meet student
needs while utilizing effectively the
facilities of the University. According
to President Philpott, however, funds
for such a program are not available.
Until such a program can be worked
out, it is vital that the administration
quickly eliminate inequitable and
unnecessarily protective rules for
coeds. These include compulsory
dormitory residency and dining hall
patronage, curfews, signing out upon
leaving the dormitory, strict study
hours, lack of open visitation, and
the compound disciplinary system by
which AWS and University rules are
enforced.
Currently, there are three University
committees-Joint Discipline,
Men's Discipline, and Women's Dis-cipline-
which hear various cases.
In addition, women are under the
discipline of their dormitory house
councils and AWS Judiciary Council.
The need for these two bodies would
be outmoded with the elimination of
unnecessary rules, and one autonomous
body could consider all disciplinary
matters for the University.
One student pointed out at a recent
student leaders' meeting that AWS
has in the past been used by the University
to control the campus through
control of men through control of
women. In practicing this method,
the University places heavy consideration
on the wishes of the parents
of the coeds; a consideration which
is becoming increasingly irrelevant
within a growing university.
College students are young adults.
They should be capable of working
out with their parents the guidelines
by^iclithey-will live whHetttrcoi---
lege. Certainly, the University cannot
effectively continue to set and
and enforce such guidelines.
The University makes no attempt
to regulate the personal lives of men
students. And its attempts at regulating
the personal lives of women
students frequently fails, in effect
encouraging women to employ devious
ways to protect the privacy of their
own lives.
President Philpott has not yet
acted on a recent recommendation by
AWS that curfews for sophomores be
abolished. We are hopeful that in his
decision on that matter, and on the
proposals that will result from the
workshop of our newly relevant AWS,
he will exercise some of Anita Page's
practicality about women's rules.
Rules which provide for the security
of some at the expense of freedom
for all are wrong. A better system
of rules would be one which allowed
each coed the amount of individual
freedom she needs.

Trapdoor minds label rather than think
This week, I dedicate my
column to all those persons
who make daily life a little
more miserable for us all;
those persons who have trapdoor
minds. (I borrow the term
from the spider.)
People with trapdoor minds
don't do much thinking, because
they operate under a
labeling system by which
everything and everyone is
instantly classified, i.e.
good or bad, conservative or
liberal, moral or immoral, Republican
or Democrat, Establishment
or Hippie, etc.
Once a label is applied,
the mind, as the term implies,
slams closed on any further
consideration which might
gradate the classification.
Trapdoor minds know only
absolutes.
Most of us are trapdoor-minded
about a few things;
usually more than a few. A
trapdoor mind would be likely
to make the following classifications-
Anyone with short hair
guzzles beer and watches
TV every Saturday afternoon,
admires Gov. Wallace, is a
freewill Baptist, or all three;
or, anyone with long hair is
a left-wing political activist,
a foul-mouthed rock star, a
heroin addict, or all three.
A trapdoor mind would reject
any implication that all
SGA officials are not neces-sarily
egomaniacs, or that
student body members who
are not involved in student
government are not hopelessly
apathetic.
A trapdoor mind either
classifies everything that
President Philpott does as
right, or everything that he
does as wrong.
Trapdoor minds are likely
to consider the racial question
as hopeless for one of
these reasons-
Black people will never
catch up with white people
because they are not as intelligent,
or white people
will never understand how it
feels to be black because
they are not black.
Trapdoor minds classify
all education majors as dumb
girls, all business administration
majors as dumb guys,
and all art majors as weird or
flipped out.
Teachers with trapdoor
minds-and they are quite
common-are not interested
in the ideas of students because
of just that-they are
the ideas of students.
Students with trapdoor
minds-they too are quite
common-see teachers as individuals
who are beholden
to students for their likelihood;
and are therefore responsible
for prying open
students' trapdoor minds to
inject information.
To some trapdoor minds;
people who go to College
Life are foolish, insecure,
and gullible. To the other
trapdoor minds, anyone who
does not go to College Life
is lost, misdirected, and
pitiable.
You have a trapdoor mind
if you think that because you
made Who's Who you're better
than your friends who didn't;
also if you think that because
you didn't make Who's Who,
you have missed something
very vital to the college experience.
You have a trapdoor mind
if you fit into either of the
above categories after substituting
the name of your
favorite sorority or fraternity
for "Who's Who."
If you play football and
live in Sewell Hall, and if
you think as a result that
you and your gorgeous bod
are the admiration of all the
girls and the envy of all the
guys, you have either a trapdoor
mind or no mind at all.
Also, if you consider athletics
to be a waste of the
University's money, even
though you know athletics
brings in most of the money
it wastes, you have a trapdoor
mind.
Members of either the Human
Rights Forum or the Auburn
Veteran Association
who consider the views of
the other group to be completely
worthless have trapdoor
minds.
This could continue endlessly.
But the important
thing, in listing trapdoor
minds, is to figure out where
you fit in-you are sure to
fit in somewhere-and try to
determine if your trapdoor
mind's attitudes are justified.
Insert the wedge of reason
at the hinge of your trapdoor
mind. Consider whether you
slam shut on an idea because
it is really a bad idea, or just
because you are afraid of it
or do not understand it.
You don't have to have a
trapdoor mind if you don't
want to. But to change, you
must discard all the labels
you know: political, moral,
character, and all other labels.
Then you have to think up
a new, unique label for every
single situation and person
you encounter. That's the
opposite of trapdoor mind.
It's called-open mind.

Asparagus, people are solitary
John Samford
It's just another day. A
springtime day, but still just
another day in Auburn. People
will crowd up and down
the steps of Haley Center all
day long, forced into slow
shoulder-to-shoulder movement.
Solitary as asparagus, I
will move with them, trying
not to inhale the pollution
of overly strong perfume
drifting from the girl in front
of me.
Solitary as asparagus. It's
a phrase I found in a footnote
to "Don Quixote" as the
translation for the Spanish
"Solocomo.el esparrago"
(Asparagus stalks, I understand,
each grow separately
instead of being attached to
a single base like stalks of
celery.)
Solitary. Like ^he middle-aged
man who sat in front
of me at the Fifth Dimension
concert. He did not smile
at the puppet's antics nor
did he applaud the performers
a single time. He did get
grudgingly to his feet for
the final ovation which has
become the standard conclusion
for any big-name performance
on the Auburn campus.
I guess his wife made him
come. She sat next to him,
her hair beauty-parlor perfect,
and applauded politely
after each number. Two asparagus
stalks, side by
side, but solitary.
Solitary as asparagus, the
black students continue to
sit in their one corner of
the Haley Center lounge.
And I wonder-did I adequately
transmit their solitude in
the Color Section on black
students last quarter?
At -dusk on Easter Sunday
I climbed the stairs to the top
of Haley Center. The sky,
the clear frosty pink of a
cherry popsicle, darkened
as the sun disappeared. A
boy, oblivious to me and a
couple in the opposite corner,
stared over the side. He was
still staring when I left.
In the laundromat, two
boys clumsily folded underwear
and towels. One was
angry, the other sympathetic.
The angry one was upset
because his girlfriend had
informed him she was pregnant.
"I guess I won't get a
damn bit of studying done
tonight," he said. Somewhere
on campus or off, there was
a girl quite as solitary as
asparagus.
Sometimes when I think I
can't stand another day of
tramping up and down the
Haley Center stairs, something
good will happen.
Like two asparagus stalks
blown together by the wind,
someone reaches me: the
foreign student who first
glances at my bare feet, then
smiles as if he understands
why I'm barefooted in spring;
or the girl I don't know who
passes me in Ross Square
and says, "I think it's finally
spring!"
Maybe today won't be just
another day after all. But
if it is, at least I can go
barefooted-it's spring.
Selling of President absurd situation; limitations needed
It has actually been exciting
to watch the election
campaigns of students
during the past week as they
vied for the student government
offices which are up
for grabs each spring.
The campaigns last year,
outside of a particularly tough
battle fa the SGA vice presidency,
were, at best, a
rather dull exercise in the
mechanics of the democratic
system. Practically every
major student office had
unopposed candidates. Outside
of the masses of posters
and a few interruptions by
candidates during meals, life
on campus went on at its
usual unfrantic pace.
This year things were different.
The campaigns were
"big time." But they clearly
pointed out one major problem
which is not new to the electoral
process.
The problem is that of
campaign spending*
Radio time became a major
factor in campaign advertising
this year and printed material
was no longer limited to
posters. Candidates bought
signs and billboards on every
major road in Auburn and
practically buried students
with reams of posters and
leaflets which were distributed
daily in front of
Haley Center.
It's staggering to imagine
the hundreds of dollars that
went into the presidential
campaigns alone.
Just because candidates
in state and national elections
go to ridiculous extremes
in campaign spending,
there is no reason that campus
politics should follow their
absurd example.
There is no doubt that
campaigns are worthwhile
activities. Student government
can be a tremendously rewarding
experience for anyone
who takes the time to
get involved. And those who
do take the time have the
opportunity to make very real
contributions to Auburn University.
The problem is that students
who either aren't extremely
wealthy themselves,
or who don't have wealthy
friends to support them, have
little chance of being elected.
The actual worth of winning
a campus election is
really up to each individual
candidate. If someone feels
that he can and should invest
hundreds of dollars in a
campaign, then perhaps that
should be his privilege'
wmmm
But the average candidate
usually cannot afford such
a race and many well-qualified
students have probably
decided not to run on the"
basis of the cost of campaigning
•
Student government officers
should be chosen on the basis
of their merits, their goals,
their experience, and perhaps,
most of all their positions on
various campus issues.
Although students probably
try to judge candidates on
this basis during the campaign,
the quality and quantity
of a candidate'spublicity
usually determines his success
or failure at the polls.
In the interest of fairness
to those students who aren't
financially independent,
reasonable limits should be
placed on campaign spending.
The rightful origin of such
limits should be the Student
Senate.
The new student government
officers who enter office next
week would hardly argue
against a law which, had it
been in effect this year,
might have saved some of
them the outrageous expense
of being elected. One presidential
candidate stated Wednesday
that he wished such
a law had been passed prior
to this year, but that under
the present system, he had to
spend an outrageous amount
on his campaign just to keep
up with his opponents.
If such a law were passed
perhaps the situation at
Auburn could be different from
the national situation which
has been described as "The
Selling of a President."
'Abortion violates unborn child's right to life'
Ed Note: The following statement
was adopted by the Parish Council
of St. Michael's Catholic Church.
The 22 voting members of the Council
represent the entire parish.
The abortion debate has become
. so charged with emotion that polemics,
name-calling and misrepresentation
have obscured the importance
of the principle involved. Legal
changes in the workings or interpretations
of civil law do not alter
or justify the intrinsic immorality
of certain actions. Abortion is just
such an act.
To deliberately injure or destroy
a human life has always, in the
Judeo-Christian world, been regarded
as a crime. It is a crime because
it violates the law of God and is
contrary to the essential human precepts
known as the natural law.
Indeed, to injure or destroy an innocent
human life is contrary to
the whole tradition of the civilized
world.
We are aware that there are some
who do not share our conviction
that human life is present in the
womb. Modern medical findings,
however, tend to support the view
that the unborn child is a human
being in all essential respects from
a very early point in the period of
gestation. In any event, it is incumbent
upon those who seek the right
to destroy a fetus to prove beyond
a doubt that the life they seek to
destroy is not human. There is no evidence
to support such a conclusion.
We recognize that there are genuine
problems which lead women to
consider abortion. We also recognize
that many proponents of abortion law
repeal are seeking to solve sociological,
psychological and economic
problems that are real and serious.
We are sensitive to those needs.
It is the choice of means that we must
reject. If the unborn child loses
its right to life, society will, through
its loss of self-respect, inherit
new social and ethical problems with
far greater consequences. Society
must look to other means of solution
for these social problems, and the
Church must take a positive and
active role in that search.
Therefore, we,the members of the
Parish Council of St. Michael's
Catholic Church, Auburn, Alabama,
feel compelled, not only to regret
and to protest this nation's and the
world's growing acceptance of
abortion, but to urge all who will
listen to do all in their power to
awaken themselves and others to
a clearer vision of right and wrong.
letters to the Editor Letter criticized for 'lack of it jectivity'
Editor, The Plainsman:
In a recent television interview,
Dr. Benjamin Spock called
our attention to the impossibility
of being simultaneously emotional
and rational. The letter
from Joseph Sanders in "Speaking
Out," in the April 9 Plainsman,
seems a case in point. Sanders
would do well to apply the lessons
offered on the same page
by Phillip Godfrey, who criticizes
John Creel and by Kenneth Grant
as he scolds Ralph Nader.
Sanders appears in print as an
emotional, but irrational young
man; guilty of many of the sins
assigned to Creel and Nader by
their critics. He should not compare
Calley and Manson using
sarcasm instead of sense. Calley
was not convicted of "murdering
102 innocent civilians."
Who says (besides Sanders)
that "we" do not disapprove?
The comment about the Medal of
Honor is tasteless, immature, ignorant
and unworthy-certainly a
gross exaggeration of the facts.
There are other traces of the
triumph of subjectivity over objectivity
in that letter. The judgment
that our nation "seeks to
exalt what Calley did, just because
he was in uniform" is assumptive
on two counts.
The public response to Calley's
conviction has indeed been ex- .
treme, but there have been prompt
warnings from all parts of society
against making Calley a hero. To
ask for clemency or even for forgiveness
is not "to exalt." And,
the idea that being "in uniform"
has made Calley holy, worth
saving, estimable or whatever
else was implied by Sanders,
runs counter to all other available
evidence.
The uniformed services seem
to receive more criticism than exaltation
from "the people of the
United States."
Calley is not a hero. He is a
convicted murderer. The uproar
of "ifs" penned by Sanders, a
self-confessed "sickened citizen
of our "blood-smeared United
States," is unnecessary.
He seems to be using the Calley
clamor as an excuse to air
his own views against our national
policies in Vietnam.
Perhaps, he is angry and disillusioned
because he senses
that he has been out-shouted by
the heretofore "silent majority."
There is another lesson for Sanders
in that same issue, same
page and on the same subject.
Mrs. Elizabeth Gardner, political
science instructor (and sister to
Sanders!), has said it ail-concisely
and clearly.
Verbiage, no matter how sincerely
written, is still "garbage"
on an editorial page.
William S. Fiske, 6PO
'My Lai could
revitalize unity'
Editor, The Plainsman:
In regard to the two opposing
contentions concerning William
Calley-his conviction or his
release: I, one of many, have
listened to each contention.
Whether or not I see right or
wrong in such action, I do see
a common plea among all
Americans to end the war and
cease with all such incidents
as My Lai. I am hoping that
this is, in some way, a revital-ization
of the American unity
that has been so long lost.
Ann Phillippi, 1BI
'Calley made
poor
Editor, The Plainsman:
The widespread outcry of injustice
for Lieutenant Calley
surprises many of us in Vietnam.
The nation feels guilt for sending
us here so she must protect us
like an old sow to ease her conscience.
War atrocities are attributed to
forces of evil-a child America
is unwilling to acknowledge. Calley
claimed he only performed
the job for which he was trained
by the Army.
"If I've committed a crime it
was because I valued my troops'
lives more than enemy troops."
William Calley was tried by a
group of men that were, at some
time, trained for his job, and were
familiar with the pressures and
frustrations created by war. For
more than four months, the jury
heard testimony from the defense
as well as the prosecution. More
than anyone else, besides those
involved, they could best judge
the merits of the case.
Would they convict one of their
own for only doing his job? I
think not. To have been convicted,
Calley must have grossly
violated his training and failed
to exercise the good judgment required
of all leaders.

'Archaic rules
need revision'
Editor, The Plainsman:
It would seem that under the
University's present discipline
code, you and your writers would
now be on trial for use,, of
profanity-a charge specified in
the "Tiger Cub."
I don't advocate this action;
instead, I advocate reform of the
University's archaic grounds for
disciplinary action. It is past
time for the University to get out
of the area of students' morality
and private lives.
We don't want babysitters for
an administration.
John L.Saxon, 2GC
'Plainsman not
representative'
Editor, The Plainsman:
The April 1 edition of The
Plainsman was a shame and a
disgrace to Auburn University.
I resent my student activity fees
being spent for such junk. The
lead article on Jesus Christ was
sacrilege and should never have
been printed.
Someone must be pretty desperate
for something to write
to go into the area of religion
to poke fun.
Much of the rest of the paper
was in bad taste and was not
representative of what many
students think is funny. A lot
of your writing this year has
been of very poor quality, but
this time it has gone beyond
the point of just throwing it in
the nearest trash can.
Not only have you shown that
you can't write good satire, but
you have also shown that you
have no more regard for God
than you do garbage. You can
feel that way, but don't print
your ideas as being representative
of the student body.
Some of us regard God as
the supreme ruler of this universe
and perhaps you should
think about "what if He is. . ..
Richard M. Bowie, 4PY
'Superstar story
lacks integrity'
Editor, The Plainsman:
Being Auburn students for
more than two years had conditioned
us to anticipate another
e x c e l l e n t April Fool's Day
Plainsman. We were sadly disappointed.
You are seemingly unaware
that several thousand Auburn
students worship Jesus Christ,
claim him as their savior, and
attempt to pattern their lives
after his example.
Your front-page article concerning
"J. C. Superstar" did
not reflect the integrity which
has been previously associated
with The Plainsman. We trust
that such a desecration will not
be reiterated in future editions.

taste in pseudo-professional
journalism.
I, personally, found nothing
in the paper funny or humorous
even if it was supposed to be
on the lighter side.
However, I did find numerous
things that "turned my stomach"
to coin an old phrase. Such features
as "Order of the Rigid
Digit" and "Superstar" appearing
on bill with Calley lacked
much to be desired.
I feel that the minds of individuals
that gave birth to these
articles have yet to reach the
prenatal stage. If this is true,
I feel that they should be removed
from their ill-fitting positions.
Once removed from office,
they should be pastured some
place, preferably in an environment
compatible with their stage
of development.

'Cater absent
from workshop'
Editor, The Plainsman:
Last Tuesday night we attended
the AWS Open Forum
which was conducted quite capably
by Anita Page.
Such controversial topics as
the abolishment of sophomore
curfews, in-and out-cards , compulsory
meal tickets, and restrictions
on coeds were freely
and intelligently discussed.
However, we were surprised
to find that the Dean of Women
Speaking Out'
was unable to attend. We were
told that since she had planned
to attend the organ recital of her
secretary, she was unable to be
present at this meeting.
Are we not correct in assuming
that Dean Cater's job is to be
informed on the questions and
problems of the Auburn woman
and to keep abreast of popular
opinion (i.e., to "preserve the
image of the Southern lady")?
Granted, an organ recital is an
important cultural event, but isn't
an open discussion of women's
grievances equally important?
Many touchy and heretofore
"unmentionable" problems were
brought forward. Ideas and suggestions
were made for possible
revision of present rules. It's a
shame our dean couldn't have
been there!

Teachers determine Me patterns'
Many problems of varying scale are presented
and discussed within the news media. Unlike
many of these issues, there is one in particular
that is going to eventually affect each and every
one of us. It is concerned with the field of education;
more specifically, the role of the teacher
within this system.
Of the some 80 instructors I have scheduled and
endured since kindergarten until now, perhaps
five or six have presented a soundly-respectable
course.
Pardon the accusation, professors, for this is
not entirely your own fault.
The foundation of this problem goes far beyond
the incompetence or ability of the individual instructors.
It is a matter of misplaced priorities.
No other profession could possibly be so important
as that of a teacher, From nursery school level
and up, teachers are seriously involved in the determination
of our life patterns, possibly even more
so than our parents. This fact alone could offer
the solution to many of the other ridiculous problems
which have arisen within our society.
Anyone unconvinced of this crisis should return
to an elementary school classroom (or any
other educational attempt), and witness the facilities
and instructions presented. Or, better than
that, attend a few education courses here at Auburn,
and survey the quality of our future teachers.
The incompetence of the subject matter, instructors,
and the students will fairly scream at you.
Imagine your reaction if this same group of students
were potential doctors, who would in the
future handle your family's medical needs. The
job of the teacher is, in every aspect, as important
and vital to our lives, and yet we continue to
train teachers far below the minimal requirements
necessary.
The curriculum that an education student follows
should not be destroyed. The courses required
are necessary, but not adequate. An additional
requirement should be that a very strong
background in the behavioral sciences (psychology
and sociology in particular) be completed.
It is crucially important for a teacher to be
able to relate and understand the behavior of the
student. A mere presentation of the subject matter
to be memorized and later forgotten is no longer
sufficient.
To the professors and instructors who have
managed to become qualified in their fields, in
spite of the restrictions, I offer my congratulations
and appreciation. To the other larger majority
no blame is implied; for it simply is not your
fault. It is the years of neglect and disregard of
a very serious problem.

Breslers' goals
are set high
When Milton and Alvin Bresler tied in the 440-yard intermediate
hurdles last Saturday, it was not something that occurred
to them as they tore through the last few strides.
Two weeks previous to that dual meet with Georgia, they
had met in a similar situation in the Florida Relays. On that
occasion, Milton ripped through the intermediates in 51.8
seconds qualifying himself for the NCAA nationals and defeating
Alvin in the process. One week later, in the Carolina
Relays, Alvin reversed the situation, also running a
51.8, and whipping Milton.
So, last Saturday, after they cleared the last hurdle, Alvin
reached out and grabbed Milton's hand as they crossed the
finish line, indicating to the judges that they wanted the
race to be called a tie.
"We had seen two guys hold hands at their finish in the
three mile run in the Florida Relays, and that's where we
got the idea," Alvin said when asked why they held hands.
A good idea . . .
"I thought it was a good idea until Alvin reached out anc
jerked me out of my lane," Milton said grinning. "I was almost
disqualified because of getting in the other lane when
he grabbed me."
The situation of facing each other in head-on confrontation
is a strange feeling to the brothers from Birmingham.
This is the first time that they have ever been placed
against each other, because they attended different class
schools in their high school days.
Speaking of Sports
Sports Editor
Randy Donaldson
" I t ' s definitely a funny feeling," Milton stated. "We're
brothers, and yet, we're both competitors and we want to
win very badly. I'll say this, if Alvin beats me, he's going
to have to go to do i t ."
Alvin agreed that it was a strange sensation.
"In the Florida Relays, I had an outside lane, so I didn't
see Milton until he passed me. When he did, I didn't know
whether to laugh or what."
Alvin at Shades Valley, and Milton at Birmingham University
School, were terrors in their high school track competition.
Alvin was on state record-holding relay teams for his
4A school, while Milton held the state individual 1A record
in the 220, 440, 880, and the mile. In addition, Milton was a.
winner in the 440-yard intermediate hurdles in theMaccabiahi
Olympics in Tel Aviv, Israel in the summer of 1969.
Needless to say, track coach Mel Rosen is not toocon--
cerned over the problem that racing the brothers against
each other creates.
Two of the best. . •
"They are two of the best in the country at that race,"
Rosen commented, "and they are ideally suited for it.They
are both good hurdlers and they are strong quarter milers."
"Coach Hutsell worked with them a lot on their hurdling,
and I've been working with them on other events, too.We
hope to get them in more events this spring, so that wecan
get better use of their talents."
"About their little stunt last week," the coach said'with
a big grin on his face, "I.ve seen a lot of guys hold hands
before, but they were always in the lane right next to each
other. Alvin and Milton had to hold hands across a lane, and
it almost got Milton disqualified."
With both Breslers having run the race in 51.8, they are
tied at the top of the conference for the fastest that the
hurdles have been run this spring. Even with their fine time,
they are 1.3 seconds behind the best time recorded in the.
nation this year. And the national record is an even more
distant goal at 48.7 seconds. Consequently, bothAlvin and
Milton have set some lofty goals for themselves in their,
track careers.
"Well, of course, someone running trackal ways has as his
goal the Olympics," Milton said. "A more realisticgoal,
though, is SEC champion, andto place in the NCAAnationals
this year."
Goals are a big part of Alvin's life, too. "Of course,the
biggest goal that a football player can achieve is toplay
professional football," Alvin noted, "and as Milton said, the
Olympics are a trackman's high point." Alvin, asmostpeople
know, was drafted by the San Francisco49'ers of the National
Football League. But most people don't know that he also'

to the judges that they wanted the race to be called a draw.

Tigers face Bulldogs
in crucial SEC games
Jockeying for position
in the SEC's Eastern Division,
Auburn and Georgia
collide in a crucial two
game series in Plainsman
Park today and tomorrow.
Auburn trails the Vander-bilt
Commodores by a game
and a half in the Eastern
Division of the SEC, and
must sweep both games if
they are to have any chance
of winning the division title.
Georgia trails Vandy by
only a half game, so the
series is equally important
to them in their chase of the
flag. The Bulldogs lost their
first two conference games,
but since have won four of
five games against Eastern
Division foes.
Auburn is faced with the
must series as a result of
the two games that they dropped
to the Kentucky Wildcats
last week. In a double-header
last Friday, Auburn
came back to win the second
game of the pair 2-0, after
the Wildcats had squeaked
by in the first one, 6-5.Then,
a slugfest the next day ended
in a Kentucky victory 14-13
despite an eight run inning
by the Tigers.
The first game of the
doubleheader also featured
a big inning by the Tigers,
as they scored four runs
in the bottom of the last inning
including two on a Joe
Haefner home run, his fifth
of the year. The loss went
to Earl Nance, his first of
the year.
In the second game of the
twin bill the Tigers could
squeeze out only two hits,
both of them in the sixth
inning, but were able to hold
the Wildcats scoreless,
thanks to the fine pitching
of starter Jack Van Ypren and
reliever RickEisenacher.
In the single game of the
next day, Kentucky overtook
a 2-0 Auburn lead by scoring
three and four runs in two
consecutive innings. The
Tigers cut it to 7-5, but in
the fifth inning Kentucky
erupted for seven runs of
their own and it looked impossible
for Auburn to get
back in the game. However,
the Tigers batsmen did make
it close with an eight run
inning of their own and had
Joey Martin at the plate with
the bases loaded and two
out, but Martin grounded out
to end the Auburn threat.

last year's NCAA
baseball runnerups, furnished

for Auburn in games Monday
night and Tuesday. Auburn
bats were still hot in the two
game set, but so were the
Florida State hitters, and
as a consequence, the Tigers
came away with an 11-8 win
and a 13-8' loss.
The game today is the
first of six straight games
to be played in plainsman
Park. Monday, Mercer invades
Auburn, followed by
the Crimson Tide of Alabama
on Tuesday. Florida will,
come for a two game set
next week-end.
Harriers
smash
Georgia
Competition will be very
tough for the Auburn harriers
tomorrow as they compete in a
five-way meet in Tuscaloosa
against the powers of Florida,
Florida State, Alabama and
Miss. St.
FSU was the winner in the
Carolina Relays, while Florida
is rated as the second best
team in the SEC. Alabama is
also very strong this year, and
Miss. St., too, has some outstanding
performers.
Coach Mel Rosen said,"This
meet should show some real
fine performances. We need several
first places, plus lots of
2nds and 3rds to win. It will
be a real challenge -to our
boys."
Auburn won twelve events
Saturday to defeat Georgia 97-
48 in the first track meet ever
held at Wilbur Hutsell Field.
Included in Auburn's victory
over Georgia, were sweeps in
two normally weak events, the
javelin and the pole vault.
Darryl Peebles, who. was
injured all of last year, returned
to lead the javelin sweep with
a throw of 176 ft., while Vaughn
Lewis headed Auburn's grout
of placers with a 14 ft. group
in the pole vault.
Five other first places were
captured by Kit Brendle (4:17.1)
in the mile, Bobby Scott (48.5)
in the 440 yd. dash, Greg Hamm
(1:55.2) in the 880 "yd. run,
John McDonald (133'-10") in
the discus, and Steve Bear

Defense is Shug's big concern
April 16. 1971 7- THE AUBURN PUINMUN
By Richard Litt
'lainsman Intramurals Editor
Defense will be Auburn
Tiger head coach Ralph
(Shug) Jordan's primary
•concern as the Tigers
lead into spring practice
|Tuesday.
The practice will end on
fay 22 with the annual A-J>
ay game, which pits two
leparate squads of Auburn
|layers against each other.
'We have to bring the de-snse
around so they can
Itop people," said Jordan,
I'We've lost some fine play-
Irs, including All-American
larry Willingham, and, an
k.11-American in my opinion,
^obby Strickland."
Sideback Willingham, who
Jed the Tigers in interceptions
in 1970, made every
\ll-American team named
last season. Strickland, a
linebacker who missed two
games last year due to a
broken leg,, returned to play
a fine game in the Gator
Bowl, and make All-Southeastern
Conference.
"After some key injuries,
we couldn't stop Georgia,
and we had to just plain out-score
Alabama and Ole
Miss," said Jordan, "We
have also lost our two starting
defensive tackles, Don
Bristow and Keith Green,
and a fine end in Neal Dett-mering."
In all, the Tigers have
lost 11 starters, with five
missing from the defense,
and six from the offense.
Despite this, Jordan will
have 33 lettermen from 1970
on hand, including the Ail-
American passing combination
of Pat Sullivan and
Terry Beasley.
"We're rated high for
next year, because of Pat
and Terry. But we're not
going to be a physically
strong team, like Georgia or
LSU," added Jordan, "so
we are going to work on_
finesse."
The offense, which set
12 NCAA and SEC team and
individual records in 1970,
lost tight end captain Ronnie
Ross, tackle Hal Hamrick,
guard Jimmy Speigner, and
the entire backfield, besides
Sullivan, including wing-back
Alvin Bresler and running
backs Wallace Clark
and Mickey Zofko.
In a major position change,
James Owens, a junior
next year, was moved from
sideback to tailback. Owens
is a multi-talented athlete
who returned a punt 89 yards
for a touchdown against
Florida last year.
He is also "a fine receiver,
with good hands,"
said Jordan, but will miss
the first part of the practice
due to a pulled muscle.
"This is a bad time for
James to miss, because of
the change he has to make,
but we're counting on him,"
added Jordan.
Starters returning to the
offense include quarterback

The Eastern Regional
District Meet of Alabama's
State Special Olympics will
be held at Auburn University
beginning tomorrow at
9:30 a.m. with a parade from
the dressing rooms to the new
Wilbur Hutsell track.
It is "special" because
its competitors are mentally
retarded, falling into two
classifications; trainable
and educable. The State
Games will be held at Sam-ford
University May 8. The
National Games will be
held in California.
The Special Olympics is
expected to draw 392 young
people from eight to 19
years and older from
schools, representing
systems in this area.
Standard events will include
the standing long or
broad jump; 50-yard dash;
softball throw; high jump;
300-yard run; 880-yard run;
and swimming. Each contestant
may participate in
two activities, either track

both of his highest goals, Alvin would have to make avery
surprising decision regarding pro football.
Tomorrow, Alvin and Milton will once again meet each
other in a five-way meet in Tuscaloosa against severalof
the conference powerhouses. Whether or not they will, oncei
again hold hands as they cross the finish line isnotcertain.
If they do, Coach Hutsell might have to enforce athreathe
made about not letting them run in the same race again. He.
said that holding hands once was all right, but if they, did it
again, he was afraid that it might lead to hugging andthei;

than ever before. Most of the damage can
be repaired easily, in many cases just with

THE AUBURN PUINSMMI April 16,1971
Cold noses and warm
hearts in the spring
By Linda Cornett
Plainsman Staff Writer : ji
"Oo, such a pretty, pretty baby. Does him want some
lousy foods from a crummy dinin' hall?"
"Hey, wait a minute. Get away from my car! Go find
yourself a phone pole."
"Sure he's friendly, but good grief, what happened to
his other leg?"
As spring moves on Auburn students are becoming more
and more aware of the furry, four- (sometimes three-) legged
vagabonds who have taken up residence on the campus.
They can be seen roaming about in delegations of three or
four, ferreting out the best squirrel trees, coolest shady
places and most skillful head scratchers.
They accost coeds emerging from dining halls, slip
quietly into lectures searching. . .for knowledge, perhaps
(they seldom seem to find much satisfaction), and they do
traffic duty, pulling over speeders on bicycles. But mostly
they stretch themselves out on the sunny grass in front of
Haley Center, blissfully ignoring the resentful glances of
students making the trek to classes.
No one is really sure of the canine population. City Hall
reports issuing 310 licenses for last year, but the ordinance
has been revised and Auburn city tags are no longer required.
This ends the only census-taking means other
than estimation, which is noticably varied.
There is general agreement that almost all of the dogs
room with students, accompany them to class, while away
the days, and return home with them at night.
This situation has caused problems for George Moss, 3
VM, who works part-time for the city oi Auburn in the position
of animal caretaker (vulgarly known as dog catcher).
Almost all of the complaints he receives are concerning
residents of dorms and married students' housing who have
opened their hearts and doors, and broken a rule in the process.
Moss has the unpopular task of breaking up the relationship,
and taking the would-be pet to the Auburn pound.
There he is faced with another problem; he has an over-supply
of prospective owners for the number of animals he
brings in.
This points up the general popularity of dogs with what
appears to be a majority of the student body. Both Moss
and Chief Dawson of the Campus Police agree that it is
extremely rare for a student to call in a complaint.
The Small Animal Clinic reports- that almost all of the
stray dogs that students find hurt and bring to them for
treatment are adopted by these students, who foot the bill
for the care given.
One important thing to remember for those who do decide
to take up company with a dog: he must have a rabies vaccination
tag about his shaggy neck. Once this requirement
is met, and if he behaves in a (relatively) civil manner,
the campus is his kingdom.

•The-Week in Review-
School of Pharmacy
to remain at Auburn
MONTGOMERY, Ala.-Auburn University's request to move its
School of Pharmacy was denied by the Alabama House of Representatives
Wednesday by a vote 85-9 that overrode the decision
of the Board of Trustees to relocate it at the Montgomery Branch.
Originated by Auburn's Rep. Pete Turnham, the amendment
prohibited transferral of the Pharmacy School, but did not cut
off funds, which will be used by the school at its present location
on the main campus. The $4 million Pharmacy School proposal
was included in a $35 million request for medical education
which was part of an overall $50 million bond issue. The
other $15 million is designated for construction of mental health
facilities throughout the state.
MONTGOMERY, Ala.-Gerald C. Wallace, Gov. George Wallace's
brother, is reportedly the central figure in federal grand jury
piobings here of associates, appointees, and political backers of
l the governor. According to a story in the Birmingham News, wit-
| •;; sses from all over the United States are being subpoenaed in
I the investigation. Many have been testifying throughout the week.
Reportedly, one question of issue is that of substantial political
contributions by corporations that may have flowed through
advertising agency and were allegedly claimed as business
• uses on income tax returns. According to the News, the in-i
gation possibly dates back as far as the 1966 campaign in
which Wallace placed his first wife, Lurleen, in the governor's
chair.

drop of female students eating
in the dining halls so that there
would be little rise in prices.
In a recent survey made by
AWS.results showed that of the
girls polled, many preferred
buying meal tickets rather than
not buying meal tickets and paying
higher prices for their food.
A resolution concerning the
suggestion of non-compulsory
meal tickets has been sent to
Pres. Harry M. Philpott by
AWS and is expected to be reviewed
some time within the
near future.
As to the abolishment of in
and out cards, Miss Page stated
that AWS is trying to put them
on an optional basis. By this
method a girl would sign out
only if she wishes to unless
she is staying out overnight.
This proposal must pass AWS
legislation before it is referred
to the administration and Miss
Page was unable to say what
the chances were of it being
passed by President Philpott.
Many girls asked about the
chances of being able to live
off campus with parental permission.
Miss Mary Bradley,
assistant dean of women, said
the only way a girl can live off
campus now is if she obtains
a doctor excuse stating that
dorm life would be detrimental
to her health. She did say however
that the matter would be
brought up in the office of the
dean of women and that perhaps
in cases of extreme financial
difficulty, exceptions might be
made.
The legislative committee
will meet next week to discuss
all suggestions made Tuesday
night. The meeting will be
open to all interested persons
and AWS urges anyone to feel
free to come even though they
are not a voting member of the
committee.
