Organizations
request share
of student fees
E i g h t e e n organizations
ranging from War Eagle Girls
to the American Civil Liberties
Union have requested a total
of $363,360.20 from the Stu­dent
Activities Fund for
various activities next year.
Each year the Student Senate
is responsible for allocating the
total revenue collected from the
Student Activity Fee, an assess­ment
of $5.50 per student. The
amount of money that will be
available next year will not be
determined until a student en­rollment
prediction is made later
this quarter.
For four consecutive nights
this week, 30 new senators
listened to requests for funds
from organizations ranging from
the War Eagle Girls to the Amer­ican
Civil Liberties Union.
Ken Farmer, off-campus senator
and chairman of the Budget and
Finance Committee, said that
organizations requesting funds
would appear before his com­mittee
for the next two weeks to
complete the allocation hearing
process. After the committee
finishes a study of the requests,
a final recommendation for the
allocation of next year's Stu­dent
Acitivity Fees will be pre­sented
to the senate.
Organizations requesting funds
were required to file reports in
the Student Government Associa­tion
office. Information concern­ing
money the organizations spent
this year and desire to spend
next year, and an outline of
specific expenditures was includ­ed
in the reports.

Gabriel claims UN
way to disarmament
"Each generation has a par­ticular
challenge or duty. Our
generation must bring disarma­ment,
and there is but one or­ganization
in the world that can
do it. No l e g i s l a t u r e , no

Human Rights Forum
plans war discussion
The Haley Center mall will be the center of political and
social commentaiy Wednesday when the Human Rights Forum
(HRF) sponsors a day of discussion on the war in Southeast
Asia and other topics of interest to Auburn students.
Harlan Stafford, 2GSP, HRF
president, said the discussion
would be similar to last year's
"Strike Day," but no "strike"
on classroom activities has been
planned.
Speakers scheduled for the
event include Rev. George Tel-fad,
pastor of the First Presby­terian
Church of Auburn, who will
discuss the war in Southeast
Asia; Dean of Student Affairs
James Foy who will speak on
"the total university student";
and Millard Grimes, editor of the
Opelika-Auburn Daily News, who
will speak on "the right to dis­sent."
Beverly Bradford, editor of
The Plainsman, and Anita Page,
president of Associated Women
Students, will jointly discuss co­ed
involvement at Auburn. John
Saxon, chairman of the campus
American Civil Liberties Union,
will talk on student rights, and
Jim Mengel, co-editor of Praxis,
will speak on the Kent State
incident. Wednesday is the an­niversary
of the deaths of four
students killed in an antiwar
demonstration at Kent State last
year.
Stafford said that other speak­ers
are being contacted for the
event.
wide disarmament."
So spoKe Alexander Gabriel,
dean of the UN Press Corps in
a keynote address last Friday
during Auburn's model UN. Ga-brieL
is the founder and chief of
the UN Bureau of the Trans-radio
News Agency, which transmits
commentary on the UN to 40
foreign governments. Often called
the "Diplomat's Commentator,"
he is remembered for commentary
series such as "The Atomic Age
This Week." "Confidentially
Yours," and "Between the
Lines." He has been described
by UN Secretary-General U Thant
as the outstanding lecturer of
the Press Corps.
"Only two generations in the
history of mankind have carried
the burden of the c r o s s of
peace," he said. "The first
lived 20 centuries ago when Je­sus
began defining the principles
of peace. We are the second gen­eration."
"In all past generations when
people went to war, if they de­stroyed
a village, the village
was rebuilt. If an empire
crumbled, another arose. Now
man has the potential to wipe
out the human race forever. Each
day that passes makes peace
more imperative. It is the duty
of this generation to bring about
disarmament."
"Without the UN, the big pow­ers
would have to make peace,"
he continued, but acknowledged
the failure of each of the five
major powers to sustain peace.
For example, "America has the
power to destroy the whole world
fifteen times over, but it can't
effectuate a pacification in Viet­nam."
"Some people have asked why,
in 25 years, the UN hasn't per­formed
the miracles it set out to
perform." His answer is that the
UN is the sixth big power, and
challenges the other five for
sovereignty. "When sovereign
human bodies get together to form
alliances, a gulf develops that
separates the wish from fulfill­ment."
The question of whether the
UN is successful or not is an
artificial issue, Gabriel declares.
"The UN should be judged in
terms of its achievements. When
the big powers talk about how
much it hasn't accomplished,
they're like the sinner who says
the church won't work, knowing
he's on his way to sin again."
"In less than 25 years the UN
has crystallized human rights in­to
an ideology. In 30 years, it
will have extended some degree
of independence to every colony
in the world," he said.

Auburn's first Model UN
described as 'great success >
3y Royce Harrison
Plainsman Staff Writer
Dr. Dan Nelson, professor
of political science, termed
Auburn's first model United
Nations " . . .a greater suc­cess
than we had planned."
Awards for top delegations
in AUMUN were given in two
divisions. The delegation
representing the United Arab
Republic won first place in
the General Assembly, and
first place in the Security
Council went to the Russian
delegation.
Both first place winners
were from Auburn. Amr Rizk,
chairman for the Egyptians,
said "Perhaps we had an
edge on everyone else. All
four members of our delega­tion
were from Egypt.''
Other winners in the
General Assembly included:
second place, India; dis­tinguished
honorable men­tion,
Albania and South
Africa; and honorable men­tion,
Israel and Ghana. Each
of these delegations were
from Auburn.
In the Security Council,
second place went to Sierra

prospects of population in­crease
at its present rate.
Charles Otto, co-pres­ident
of ZPG, said the main
idea being promoted was
that "people must realize
that bigger is not neces­sarily
better." Otto also
stated that the theme of the
Earth Day observance was
the "quality of life" con­cept,
which states that the
quality of life decreases as
population increases.
To combat population in­crease
and stabilize the
population ZPG proposes
limiting family size to two
children, legalizing abortion,
using birth control devices
and revising tax structure
to favor fewer children.

tinguished honorable men­tion
was shared by the United
Kingdom, from the University
of Alabama and the United
States , from Auburn.
First and second place
winners received trophies;
other winners received
engraved certificates.
Criteria for the judging
was based on general grasp
of foreign policy of the coun­try
represented, effective­ness
of presentation and
strategy used to win influ­ence.
Delegations attended from
the University of Alabama,
Alex City State Junior Col­lege,
Lurleen Wallace State
Junior College and the Uni­versity
of South Alabama, as
well as Auburn. Over 50
countries were represented.
"The enthusiasm of every­one
involved was great,"
Nelson said. "We had a very
hard time choosing the best
delegations because there
were so many outstanding
ones. To say the least, the
success of this first model
UN encourages us to plan
an* even better one next
year." - •
The purpose of AUMUN,
according to Nelson, was
to demonstrate to the stu­dents
the role of the UN in
international affairs through
debates on crucial disputes
in international relations.
The delegations spent two
weeks prior to the model UN
researching the foreign pol­icy
of the country they re­presented.
Points were sub­tracted
from its total if a
delegation was ruled "out of
character."

I would like to talk with you about your plans for buying a diamond. Regardless
of whether you plan to spend $100.00 or $1,000.00 you want to be able to give her
the most beautiful diamond possible for the money you plan to invest. You want
the best buy possible in size and quality for every dollar you spend. We have a
proven system to SAVE YOU REAL MONEY on your diamond purchase.
May I explain Ware's Diamond System to you?
We sell "loose diamonds" . . . diamonds that we may check the weight, color
and perfection grade. Diamond prices vary greatly depending upon each individual
stone. You cannot get full diamond dollar without proper diamond grading.
We have many diamonds . . . many grades and prices . . . so that we can fill
your needs regardless of size or quality desired.
We are Auburn's dealer for Orange Blossom, Art Carved, Jabel and Gomez.
First we explain diamond grading step by step and assist you in selecting the
size and grade best fitted to your individual needs. Next we assist you in select­ing
the mounting. From our "loose Diamond "stock we can select just the stone . .
. . . just the mounting . . . and put the two together for savings that you won't
believe possible.
AH we ask is a chance to prove to you that "WARE'S LOOSE DIAMOND SYS­TEM"
can mean a larger, finer diamond than you ever dreamed possible.

Over fifty Auburn students
journeyed to Washington

crowd of approximately
250,000 people gathered for
a massive peace rally.
The rally, estimated by
some to be the largest peace
demonstration in recent
years, was staged to protest
President Nixon's Indochina
policy and to advocate
"peace now" in the form of
an early, publicized with­drawal
date.

the children to the circus.
Tickets for the performance
were provided by WSFA radio

The trip was one of many
provided for the children of
Plainview this year by Cir­cle

the school.
Earl McNeal, president of
the organization, said that
the trip was an exciting ex­perience
for the children.
"Most of them have never
traveled outside the county
and none of them have seen
a circus," he continued.

those attending the rally from
Auburn. "The demonstration
was a serious thing; I was
there because I am concerned
over America's role in In­dochina,"
said Miss Lett.
"Although some people might
think we were there for a
lark, I feel that my participa­tion
was important and would
have remained in Washington
all week for other rallies
if I had had the money,"
she added.
Housewives with children,
union workers, elderly peo­ple,
and service veterans
joined students in rally
activities that included a
march from Ellipse park
across the street from the
White House to the Capitol
Building.
Senator Vance Hartke of
Indiana, David Dellinger,
Coretta King, and John Kerry
chairman of the Vietnam
Veterans for Peace, were
among the speakers that
addressed the marchers at
the Capitol. Entertainers
Peter, Paul and Mary, Pete
Seegar, ,and Country Joe and
the Fish performed between
speeches.
Jim Mengel, 4GPA, said
that many of the young vet­erans
present were not
anticipating any response
from Nixon as a result of
the rally. "They wanted to
do something more dramatic,
like take over a building,"
said Mengel.
Betsy Walker, 4GPO, said
the rally was "a fantastic
thing." "All kinds of people
were there-even middle aged
couples and families with
babies," said Miss Walker.
Mengel said the march was
like a page out of "The
Canterbury Tales." "Mer­chants
were everywhere try­ing
to sell something to
everybody," said Mengel.
The organized veteran's
group was dressed in fatigues
and carried toy machine
guns. "Some of them looked
like Mexican revolution­aries,"
said Lett.

Students football ticket sales have been going well under
the new system devised by the Student Senate an Athletic
Department spokesman said.
Bob Wilson, former student senator and a member of the
Football Ticket Committee, stated Wednesday that several
questions have been asked repeatedly by students.
Those questions most often asked and their answers
include:
Q. Are guest tickets which aren't in the student section
on sale?
A. Tickets for all games except Alabama are on sale now
at the Athletic Department. The Alabama game is already
sold out of guest tickets.
Q. If I get my order in quickly, will I get better seats?
A. No. The deadline for student orders this quarter is
May 27. All orders received prior to that date will be
processed at the same time.
Q. Will non-student husbands of female students be able
to order tickets in the same manner as wives?
A. No. As yet, the question of tickets for student's hus­bands
is still being negotiated. The best bet in this case
is for the wife to order tickets with another student who
will not be buying tickets. An additional guest ticket should
be purchased. The husband can then get into the stadium and
walk around to the vacant seat next to his wife.
Q. If I take a date to order tickets now, does she have to
be here in the fall, or can I pick up my tickets with any
date?
A. In order to pick up tickets in the fall, the same date
with whom you ordered tickets must accompany you and must
be in school. To insure that you get your tickets, you must
find a date who will definitely be here fall quarter.
Q. Why can't I purchase tickets on the priority of the
classification I will have in the fall?
A. All students are purchasing tickets according to the
classification which they have this quarter. If you were
allowed to use the classification which you will have next
year, then all students would move up one notch and your
tickets would be in the exact same place.
Q. What about tickets for dates who don't attend Auburn?
A. Here again, no decision has yet been made so the best
bet is to purchase a guest ticket as well as a student
ticket next to your own seat so that a date can get in the
stadium and sit in the seat with you. There is a possibility
that dates with guest tickets will be allowed to enter the
stadium through the student gates.
Q. I am sitting in a group block. What priority will my
group have compared to other blocks?
A. A raffle will be conducted by the Student Government
Association during June to determine the priorities of group
blocks.
Q. I'm a non-student wife. Do I have to purchase a 1970-71
student wife I.O. this late in the year just to purchase
tickets for next year?
A. No. If you are a non-student wife now or will be one
in the fall, you may order tickets now without an I.D. It
will be necessary to have a non-student wife I.D. next fall
to pick up your tickets.
The Athletic Department has urged students to carefully
read the instructions which accompany ticket order blanks.
The blanks are being given out in each department when
students pick up registration materials this week and next
week.
Anyone having questions concerning the ordering of
tickets should call the SGA Ombudsman Line at 826-4216.

The bright warm beauty of Auburn
in spring does not lend itself to
visions of the horrors of the Vietnam
war, nor to serious thought of an
explanation and solution for U. S.
involvement there.
And even without distracting warm
weather activities, students have
quizzes, dates and summer jobs to
worry about.
Meanwhile, in Vietnam, people are
dying.
Imagine it. In Vietnam, the persons
in the age group with American col­lege
student have never known life
without war. There, death is as cons-,
tant as classroom tedium is here.
The StudentMobilizationCommittee;
(To End the War in Southeast Asia)
has called for a national student
moratorium on Wednesday "to demand
an end to the war and in commemora­tion
of the deaths of students at Kent
and Jackson State Universities.';'
The SMC asks that the moratorium
be carried out on "the most essential
level: from person to person," with
discussions not only of the war, but
of "the poverty and hunger and re­pression
that continue to be ignored
in America."
The SMC asks everyone committed
to doing something to end the war to
stop "business as usual," that com­fortable
daily routine which has dul­led
our senses to the agony and sense­lessness
of the war effort in Vietnam.
We support the SMC's moratorium
on business as usual. On this campus,
the Human Rights Forum is sponsor­ing
a day of discussion on Wednesday.
On that day, why not allow the war
to penetrate your usual thoughts. . .
discuss it with everyone you can.
Either defend it or oppose it.
But ignore it no longer.
As citizens of a great country
which is reeling from the political,
social, economic and technological
strain of our Vietnam involvement,
we cannot afford to ignore it.
WEGL
W E G L. . .91 on your FM dial. . .
Auburn University.
At last, it's a reality. We have a
campus radio station.
For most Auburn students. WEGL
has added a new dimension to col­lege
life. We have a real voice. We
have a constant companion. We can
listen to the kind of music we like
to hear without annoying interruptions.
We are better informed because of
WEGL's spot announcements publi­cizing
campus events and its cover­age
of national, state, and local
news.
WEGL's existence will alter the
role of The Plainsman, bringing
change we welcome with the hope
of improving overall communication
on campus and increasing the aware­ness
of the average^student.
The station destroys our monoply
as the single news source on campus.
Since our weekly publication date
cannot compete with continuous
electronic broadcast, we can't scoop
WEGL, no matter how hard we might
try. But we will make a greater ef­fort
to explain the stories behind the
news which you will quite probably
hear first on WEGL.
With these points in mind, we are
this week discontinuing our "Week
in Review" feature, which we began
last quarter upon the recommendation
of a group of students who had stu­died
the effectiveness of The Plains­man,
and found coverage of state and
national news to be needed.
With WEGL to inform, Praxis to
complain, and The Plainsman to
explain, the look of communication
on campus is immensely brightened.
We look forward to our role in com­plementing
the efforts of other stu­dent
journalists and broadcasters.
We congratulate Rene Brinsfield,
WEGL manager, and his staff for
their successful first week of broad­cast,
and for patiently weathering
the numerous delays, which .have,
plagued them throughout the year.
We applaud Chris Youtz, past SGA
treasurer, • who two years ago was
appointed by then SGAPresident David
Hill to head up a task force to push
for the radio station. It is due to
Youtz's relentless prodding that
WEGL is now on the air.
WEGL is a very significant ad­dition
to the Auburn campus, and we
welcome it warmly.
HMP Raps
We are pleased each time Pres.
Harry M. Philpott takes time to talk
with students. Even though the novel­ty
may be a bit worn, we were no less
pleased to learn that he will, for the
third time, rap with students in Sam-ford
Park Thursday from 1 to 4:30 p.m.
Despite the strain it must be on
President Philpott, each rap session
is a heartening display of adminis­trative
interest in communication, an
important but sometimes neglected
aspect of life at Auburn.
Last May at the first rap session
one student told President Philpott,
"It's kind of nice to know you really
exist."
We urge all students on Thursday
to take advantage of this opportunity
to make that same reassuring dis­covery.

'WE m FOR THIS HKHWAY ANO WEVt 60TA WHTTD ENJOY IT/
The conversation had a
tone of righteous indignation
and self-pity which ill fitted
the two bright, well-educated
young women whom it en­gaged.
They were discussing the
regrettable lack of communi­cation
between themselves
and their parents.
The immediate cause of the
feeling of resentment held by
one girl was the failure of
her parents to offer her suffi­cient
praise for her accom­plishments.
The immediate cause of the
feeling of resentment held by
the other girl was an unfor­tunate
misunderstanding
which had occurred when she
was home for the Christmas
holidays. The girl-who is 21-
had explicitly set out what
she wanted to be given for
Christmas, and her mother
had not followed the list.
Both young women were
Good living spoils youth
feeling mistreated, downtrod­den,
and unloved.
Like many others in their
generation, the real cause of
their unhappiness may have
been the absence of any hard­ship
to which they could ap­ply
their ample, supple minds
and their boundless energy
and enthusiasm.
They are two members of a
generation of spoiled, soft
young people who are floun­dering
in the excesses of good
living.
It isn't their fault.
It is the natural result of
the struggle by their parents
to save them from the agonies
and trials of life in a severe
depression or a world war.
The younger generation has
had little to worry about. Food,
clothes, cars, and spending
money were taken for granted.
Their parents, 60 per cent of
whom are not college educa­ted,
have provided them with
college educational oppor­tunities
so they could more
easily obtain the comforts of
life.
The young, haughtily and
pompously, have rejected the
morals, patriotism, materi­alism,
religion, and fre­quently
the love which
provide the meaning for
their parents' existence.
The young can afford to re­ject
those things because
they have always had the
benefits they produce.
Then, however, they feel
lost, aimless, and disillu­sioned,
when life has hardly
begun.
In the best of times in per­haps
the greatest civilization
in the history of the world, a
generation of spoiled Ameri­can
brats pouts because they
think this country has nothing
more to offer them.
John Samford
Churches must 'change with the times', not live in the past
I had occasion last Sun­day
to talk with the minister
of music in one of Birming­ham's
larger churches.
"What can I do for you?"
he asked, as my fiance and
I entered his office.
"We'd like to discuss the
music for our wedding," I
replied, as he motioned us
to sit down on the sofa which
faced his desk.
"Here's a copy of our of­ficial
church policy relating
to wedding music," he said.
"This should answer most
of your questions."
We were prepared for the
worst. We had already seen
the church policy and had
laughed about it thinking
it had to be a joke.
It wasn't.
The policy stated, among
other things, that the use
of the traditional wedding
march was discouraged. It
seems that "Here Comes
the Bride" was originally
written for an opera in which
"murder, infidelity and sep­aration
formed the central
theme."
The music minister re­luctantly
told us that the
final decision concerning
the Use of this terrible tune
was left to us.
What really threw him,
though, was our intention
of having a friend sing a
few popular songs, such as
"We've Only Just Begun"
by The Carpenter, while
guests were being seated
before the ceremony.
"Is the wedding going to
be held in the chapel or in
the sanctuary?" he asked.
"In the sanctuary," I
answered. "The chapel is
too small."
"In that case," he said,
"I would really discourage
the use of secular tunes."
When I dared to question
why, he said, "Because the
sanctuary is kind of the
holiest of the-holy."
At this point, though I was
ready to throw up, I con­tained
myself long enough
to convince him that we
hadn't planned a "far out"
ceremony or .a rock wedding.
We simply wished to use a
few songs which we both
liked and which we thought
were very appropriate for
the occasion.
Realizing that we might
have the wedding elsewhere
and not wanting to "rock the
boat," he again reluctantly
admitted that the final de­cision
was ours.
If I had not had the priv­ilege
of meeting some of the
more progressive men of the
cloth, such as those here
in Auburn working to solve
Thorn Botsford
some of the tremendous prob­lems
which face our society,
my experience with the mu­sic
minister would have com­pletely
damned the whole
of organized religion in my
eyes.
With all reverence to the
principles of Christianity,
which I heartily endorse, I
could find no practical rea­son
for a church which claims
to lead the community in
matters spiritual, to over­burden
itself with concern
about the music in my wed­ding.
Many young people today,
myself included, have prob­ably
felt guilty on occasion
for not having high attendance
records in church.
I no longer feel guilty.
Organized religion has the
greatest capacity for good
of any institution in American
society. But to work toward
helping people with their'
problems, churches must
"change with the times."
It's encouraging to see
that many churches and min­isters
are changing. But just
as many are remaining as
they have been in the past.
America's young people
today are more socially a-ware
and concerned than any
previous generation of A-mericans.
They are looking
at things carefully and re­fusing
to accept ideas and
institutions simply because
they have always been ac­cepted.
If my expereince with the
music minister is any indi­cation
of the way organized
religion is responding to the
challenge being offered-.,by
youth today, the future ;of
the church looks extremely
dim.
War trials, peace rallies prevent justification of Vietnam
It's spring and the people
are upset. The massive
"peace" rally in Washington
last weekend may be just the
beginning of another season
of turmoil in the streets and
in the consciences of a signi*
ficant segment of the Ameri­can
people. Indeed, bands of
discontented students and
veterans have disturbed Wash­ington's
bureaucracies all
week, and there is more, may­be
much more, to come. May
5, 6 and 7 have been set a-side
by students in many uni­versities
as memorial days
for the students killed in anti­war
activities last year at
Kent State and Jackson State.
Even this campus has plans
for a rally.
Behind the organized drive
for a publicized withdrawal
from Southeast Asia are the
horror stories straight from the
Asian jungles that some Amer­icans
cannot justify in terms
of a "just" war. I can still
remember a certain conversa­tion
with a Vietnam veteran
named Cat who related one
such horror story to me over
a cup of coffee in a local
restaurant one night:
"I had to shoot her. Orders.
It ain't fun to shoot a woman,
but the big man stood by me
and told me to," said Cat.
Although Cat proceeded to re­late
all of the gory details,
he didn't sound like a VFW
glory man telling favorite war
stories. Cat hated what he had
done-and the war-with a so­bering
passion.
Cat's story evokes thoughts
of My Lai, Calley, and the
mass confusion and hysteria
that has swept the country in
regard to the dilemma of the
combat soldier. Some defen­ders
of this country's role in
Vietnam have joined in the
outcry against Calley's con­viction
but, at the same time,
have been quick to empha.-
size that My Lai was an "iso­lated'
' incident. The very na-ture
of our presence in
Southeast Asia, however, has
dictated the realities of the
situation: atrocity is a major
aspect of the war; women,
children, and priests have
been tortured and shot, by
some of our own forces, who
are probably unable to psy­chologically
withstand such
a cruel and unnecessary war.
It should be emphasized
that the U.S. Armed porces
are not composed of blood­thirsty
maniacs delighting in
atrocity. Only a very, very
few, want to kill. Sometimes
however, a serviceman has
no choice but to shoot a wo­man
or child who might be
harboring a live grenade.
There is a fine line, some­times
indistinguishable, be­tween
cold-blooded atrocity
and shooting for self preser­vation.
Nevertheless, Philip Bal-boni,
writing in the "New Re­public,"
has documented a
few more atrocities in an ar­ticle
called "What Every
Vietnam Veteran Knows." A
shocking example of hysteria,
according to Balboni, involved
a Marine commander known as
the "ear collector." The
commander insisted that his
men always cut the ears off
enemy casualties; it seems
that the men kept the dried
ears under the elastic bands
in their helmets, and made
sort of a game out of collect­ing
them as souvenirs.
The "ear collector" kept a
blackboard in his tent known
•mmm&
as the "earboard," where an
accurate count of ears was
maintained. One time, when a
man and a woman were killed
as they walked down a trail,
the soldier who shot them had
no knife to cut off their ears.
When the commander heard
about this, he raged and
sent a special dispatch to
get the ears.
Another incident occurred
in a helicopter flying 16 pri­soners
to Saigon. When the
helicopter arrived, only four
prisoners were left. Obvious­ly,
some Vietnamese soldiers,
in thepresenceof a U.S. Army
captain, shoved 12 prisoners
out of the helicopter. To
those who wouldn't believe
the story, a soldier said,
"Take a look at the flesh
that's left on the doorjamb of
the helicopters and look, at
the fingers and flesh that's
left from being belted out."
An incredible incident oc­curred
in a small village in
Vietnam. When GI's moved in­to
the village, a few dirty,
unarmed civilians shouted
curses at them, enraging the
haggard soldiers who shot a
group of 12 civilian s-mostly
old men, women, and children,
killing them all. The young
girls in the village were the
last to be eliminated; they
were raped first.
No one should attempt to
place full blame for these
atrocities on the few service­men
who commit them; they
are victims of a strange, cru­el
war, waged, as some of
our hyper-patriots used to
tell us, "to stop Communist
aggression."
Even President Nixon now
sees the ridiculous logic in­volved
in the Communist ag­gression
theory. But the
President's "honorable with­drawal"
is just as agonizing
to those who oppose the war
as the old line espoused by
LBJ. Nixon could have set a
withdrawal date and negoti­ated
a peace; instead he has
invaded Cambodia and Laos,
tried to adopt the war to
"Vietnamization," and in­sisted
on continually drafting
young men for combat duty.
Thus, the war goes on-and
on-and on.
'Eating in D.H. means having to say you're sorry'
By Lynn Harrison, 4CT
Stephanie Johns, 4GHY
Cindi Shuford, 1FM
What can you say about an Auburn coed that
died? That she had heartburn? Ptomaine poison­ing?
Or eternal diarrhea? That she loved Maryland
fried turkey, mystery meat, and me-she never said
in which order.
We met in the dining hall in our senior year.
Every night we stood side by side as she served
the mushy mashed potatoes, and I served the
greasy gravy. We wanted to marry, but the obsta­cles
seemed unsurmountable. You see, her mother
was the head dietician, and my father was the
head of the county board of health.
Late one night after the kitchen cleanup, we
decided to run away to Opelika and get married.
We had a small untraditional wedding. We each re­cited
our favorite menus to each other-mine was
Savoy meatballs or chuck wagon steak; hers was
a Swiss steak or veal salad.
We spent a blissful two months together.
Then, one day the county board of health was
giving us our routine physical when they wanted
her to repeat her cholesterol count test. It was no
mistake. I was going to lose her. The disease was
incurable, because she had a compulsory meal
ticket.
We tried to keep up our daily routine, but one
night as we were standing side by side, her spoon
dropped out of her hand into my gravy. With chin
quivering, she looked up at me and said bravely,
"Don't.let the gravy congeal."
I thought I was going to cry, but I didn't want
to flavor the gravy. I held her with one arm as I
ladled the gravy with one hand and served pota­toes
with the other. She whispered weakly, "Good
job; keep the line moving."
Those were her last words.
As I left work on my way to our place, Jack's,
I ran into my father who was coming to condemn
the dining hall, but it was too late.
"I'm sorry, son, " he said.
"It's about time," I gagged, "Eatingin the dining
hall means always having to say you're sorry."

'Administration's justice discriminatory, hypocritical'
Editor, The Plainsman:
Although rather typical of the
narrowminded discrimination per­petrated
on the people by those
in positions of authority in Au­burn,
recent events have finally
prompted me to write this letter.
The most disgusting of these
incidents are the administra­tion's
refusal to allow Univer­sity
facilities to be used for
future free rock concerts, mainly
due to "problems concerning
drugs and alcohol," and the
arrest of a "disorderly bicycle
rider."
If the administration is so con­cerned
with violations of the
law then why aren't our future
football games canceled until
Dean Cater and her Social Life
Committee come up with a solu­tion
to the problems created by
thousands of drunken, obnoxious,
law-breaking football fans who
crowd into Cliff Hare Stadium and
throw up, fall all over each
other, start fights and generally
make things miserable for every­one
concerned?
I can honestly say that those
attending the rock concerts
were much more well-behaved
and proportionally broke fewer
laws than any football crowd
I've ever seen.
I am sure also that our de­voted
local police officers have
ignored many obviously drunken
students and alumni as they
leave the games and endanger
their own lives as well as count­less
others as they attempt to
drive home.
Perhaps searching and ar­resting
a cyclist on a sidewalk
is the latest technique in on-the-
job training as our ardent
police force seeks to improve
its efficiency in protecting the
public from hazardous and
dangerous drivers.
"Another good place to begin
a real crack-down on law-breakers
would be the fraternity houses.
Why doesn't our administra­tion
cancel all leases to on-campus
fraternities due to the
obvious contribution they make
in violation of state alcohol
control laws?
Surely no one can ride down
fraternity row on a football week­end
without being witness to
many flagrant violations of
ordinances against public drunk­enness,
underage possession
of alcohol, etc.
I am reasonably sure that this
letter, if printed, will not cause
a sudden demand that these
and other injustices be stopped.
After all, Auburn students are
famous for their apathetic, non­thinking
attitudes.
Hopefully, however, a few
people will become more aware
of and concerned about the dis­criminatory,
hypocritical and
arbitrary way justice is meted
out by the officials and admin­istrators
who would have us
believe that they are working
in our best interest.

'Bureaucracy
evident at AU'
Editor, The Plainsman:
I sincerely appreciate the
Board of Student Communications
allowing me to air my feelings
concerning your April Fool edi­tion
of the newspaper.
I have profited more than you
will ever realize from this ordeal.
It gave me firsthand experience-as
a witness and a participant—
in the workings of a bureaucratic
hierarchy within the confines of
Auburn University. By your own
admission, many of you did not
know what was in the newspaper.
This strikes me as most interest­ing.
I am at a loss to understand
the functions or purposes of this
board and wonder if many of the
members know.
In my opinion, the justification,
and rationalization presented by
some of the board members and
newspaper staff for the feature
articles in the April Fool edition
of the newspaper exemplified Dr.
Peter and Mr. Hull's book, "The
Peter Principle."

'Funds needed
for cancer cure'
Editor, The Plainsman:
I recently read an article that
literally raised me out of my
chair. I am sure that when I re­veal
these facts to you, your re­action
will be quite similar.
Did you know that more Ameri­cans
died of cancer in one year
(1969), than were killed in four
years of World War II? Also, did
you know that of the 200 million
Americans alive today (not count­ing
babies that will be born), 50
million (that's one-fourth) will
develop cancer! It is also a fact
that cancer claims the lives of
more children under 15 years of
age than any other illness.
If America is so great as to put
footprints on the moon, why can't
it find a cure for cancer? I'll tell
you why. America has never
launched a national campaign, a
united effort, against this killer.
Isn't it of national importance?
I'll say it is! Any disease that
will claim one out of every four
people in this country is of very
grave importance. Personally, I
had no idea that cancer had grown
to this massive proportion.
Another reason is, as usual,
an inadequate and dried up source
of funds. There is relatively no
money being spent on cancer re­search.:
instead, the money is
going to defense. The following
statistics prove my statement:
In 1969 alone, for every man,
woman and child in this country,
our government spent $125 on the
war in Vietnam, $19 on the
space program, $19 on foreign
aid, and 89 cents on cancer re­search.
Very soon a bill will be before
the US Senate which provides
for a National Cancer Authority.
This organization would be
similar to NASA which put men
on the moon. This bill "demands
that the highest priority be given
to devise better methods of pre­vention,
diagnosis, and cure of
cancer at the earliest possible
date." '
Now you have a chance to be a
vital part of the "mightiest of­fensive
against a single disease
in the history of the United
States." If enough citizens let
their senators know that they
want BILL S-34 passed, it will
pass. I urge you to write today!
Remember, one out of every
four people will be struck with
cancer. Think of your children
and loved ones if no one else.
I urge you to take 45 seconds and
two stamps, and write your two
senators, Jim Allen and John
Sparkman, Senate Office Building,
Washington. D.C., 20510.

'Patriotic resent
radio sign off
Editor, The Plainsman:
We do not feel that it is fitting
for the campus radio station,
WEGL, to sign off at night by
playing the Jimi Hendrix ver­sion
of our National Anthem.
This type of music has its
place during normal programming,
but not as a sign-off. When I
asked the station to play an
unaltered version of the National
Anthem, they replied that they
didn't think that they even had
a copy of it.
We don't feel that there is any
cause for playing a bastardized
version of the National Anthem
without at least playing the
original after it. Some of us
are still patriotic enough to
feel that certain traditions of
this country should not be
mocked.

'Easy pace is
AU attraction'
Editor, The Plainsman:
Why choose Auburn University
for at least four years of your
young life? What has a Univer­sity
in a "hick-town" got to of­fer?
Why not go to the Univer­sity
of Alabama, where money
talks.
My residence is Birmingham
for school purposes, but my dri­ver's
license says my hometown,
Chula Vista, Calif. I lived in
Los Angeles and San Diego for
two "great years." I spent my
freshman year at Auburn before
getting a "wild hair" and head­ing
West.
But why? Why come back to
"Wallace Country" and Auburn?
I had UCLA and USC-you can't
get better-bull! Let me tell all
of Auburn-at UCLA and USC-you're
a number, not a person.
Yes, the kids are cool, but you're
a face in the crowd, a peon
Everybody is on the move, all
the time. Now I'm not not cutting
the schools, anywhere in Cali­fornia
the pace is fast.
Here at Auburn, everything is
"nice and easy." People are not
in a hurry and here, you're a
"people." I thought I would
miss the fast pace, but Auburn
changed my mind. I like it nice
and easy. Now, they can talk
about how great UCLA and USC
are but here is one guy who
knows and is proud to be a tiger-
Auburn style.

'Care at Drake
impressive'
Editor, The Plainsman:
Several weeks ago a favorable
letter was written about Drake
Infirmary.
It was refreshing to read some­thing
so positive in tone. Plus,
I happen to agree. The care, at­tention
and service I received
there for three days last month
were unbelievably good.
I am very grateful and im­pressed.

Speaking Out
By O. N. King, 4PA
Pollution is an extremely popular topic; and
every two-bit super patriot who jumps on the
ecological bandwagon immediately becomes
an extremely popular fellow. But should one choose
to criticize, should any individual offer intel­ligible
arguments against the ballast of our self-appointed
saviors, he is branded as a hater of
mankind. His ideas need not be considered-the
answer is already known: more controls.
No, I do not defend pollution. Smog and filth
are not good for men, but even if the problem were
as extensive as our would-be saviors contend,
the solution can be found only technologically,
not politically. Now note the "solutions" offered
by the ecologistsand assorted crusaders: cutbacks
on "luxuries," elimination of the "products of
affluence," etc. Many seek a zero GNP growth..
Note also that it is industry which takes the beat­ing
while our saviors run to government (probably
the greatest single polluter in the world) for more
controls. It is not solutions these crusaders want,
it is power; not control over the hostile elements
of nature like floods and disease, but control over
men.
But an advanced society does not stand still; it
either progresses or it stagnates. How glorious
will our "return to nature" be? How long will you
last when you have to plow your field with a
stick, hunt your meat with a club, and return to the
cave for shelter? Every good that makes your life
more comfortable is a product of these polluters.
What will be the "quality of life" without them,
and how will you enjoy that "quality of life" when
every moment you live is spent in backbreaking
labor and exhaustion? Pretty farfetched? Don't
bet on it!
Enforcement of laws protecting the lives and
property of everyone-including industry-is the
only solution to these problems, and may be
rightfully demanded. But it is not solutions that
the leftists are seeking, it is controls.
If you really believe that organizations like
"zero GNP growth" are doing you a favor, check
your premises.

Freak enjoys
baseball fun
I'm a freak, A sports freak, that is. I've been one for a
long time now, and it's just a hopeless case. I bore people
to tears talking about baseball, I dominate the TV watching
sports, and I don't study if there is something to play,
watch, or listen to that has to do with sports. And the prob­lem,
is, I don't know why I'm a freak.
To borrow a phrase from ABC, maybe it's the "thrill of
victory, or the agony of defeat" that makes me the way I
am. Perhaps I have just told myself that I like sports and
I think I do while I really don't. The real reason could be
that there is so much that is funny in sports.
Take last Saturday's baseball games, for instance. It
was a doubleheader, important conference battles against
Florida, and the weather was just perfect. Auburn jumped
ahead in the first game, so there was not too much to worry
about, and things were enjoyable.
Coaching for the Gators at third was a little old man,
skinny as a rail, with a raspy voice that he used often to
shout his disapproval of the plate umpire's calls.
Today and tomorrow
could very well decide
the champion of the SEC's
Eastern Division, as Au­burn's
red-hot Tigers meet
the Commodores of Vander­bilt
in three games in
Nashville.
Vanderbilt is one-half
game ahead of Auburn with
its 7-3 conference mark as
compared with Auburn's 7-4
record. Auburn must win two
of the games to have any
chance of winning the divi­sion,
and a sweep of the
games would put them in
the driver's seat since they
have only two conference
games remaining after this
weekend. Vandy has a
three game series with
Florida in Nashville in two
, weeks.
Auburn will be without the
services of Joey Martin, the
SEC's leading hitter, be­cause
of a shoulder he
injured in the previous week.
He will be out for at least
another week.
Starting pitchers for the
Tigers will be Jack Van
Yperen and Earl Nance to­day,
followed by Rick
Eisenacher tomorrow.
Auburn has averaged nine
runs a game in their current
seven game win streak, and
a great part of that success
has been as a result of ag­gressiveness
on the base
paths. They have stolen 37
bases in those games, giv­ing
them 73 for the year,
only five short of the SEC
record set by Mississippi
in 1960.
The last two wins of this
streak were against the
Florida Gators, 5-2 and 8-2
here last week. Van Yperen
and Nance limited the Gators
to 11 hits and only three
earned runs in the two
games, and Andy Merchant
and Ken Dempsey each hit
three run homers to push
the Tigers to their sweep.
Auburn had a slim one run
lead in the opening game of
a doubleheader when Mer­chant
hit his third four-bagger
of the season. From
that point Florida was able
to score two runs, while
the Tigers were able to
get one more run across.
In the second game, with
Nance on the mound, Auburn
jumped to a one run lead in
the second inning, but Flo­rida
came back to tie it up
in the third on an unearned
run. Then Dempsey unloaded
his sixth homer of the sea­son,
and his third in one
week. This mark ties him
for the team leadership in
homers with Jack Baker,
both being followed by Joe
Haefiler's five.

That umpire, by contrast, was a rotund man, that reminded
me a great deal of Baby Huey. He lumbered around the field,
hollering "Naaaaaaah" meaning ball, and "Tee-rite" mean­ing
strike, but eventually he could take no more of the little
man harping at him about his calls.
"Get out of here" he bellowed, "you're out of the game."
The little old man looked puzzled an d amazed to think
that he could be thrown out of the game. He asked the um­pire
a couple of questions, then shuffled off the field, on
over to the concession stand, where he wasasked what he
did.
"Oh, that damn umpire has got the Dunlap disease," he
grumbled.
"What's that?
"His stomach has dun lapped over his belt, and he can't
see the difference between ball and strikes," the little old
man grinned and shuffled back to the dugout. However, he
didn't stay long, because the umpire told him that he couldn't
even stay iu the park. And so with a fond farewell wave to
the crowd, the little old man headed for the Florida bus,
waiting for the second game of the day to begin.
The crowd helps
The crowd helps to make funny things happen, too,
especially when they start to harrass the opposing team
members. A new trick that they have started is to wait for
the opposition's pitcher to begin his warm-up prior to each
inning. With his first pitch, they let out a loud and high-pitched
"whooooooop" and then with the catcher's return
throw comes a ' 'wheewwwwww.'' A grin that appears on the
pitchers face is quickly suppressed, but as soon as he
releases his next toss, there comes another whoooooop,
followed by another wheewwwwwwww and he grins again.
The Gators have a smart catcher, though. After the last
warm-up throw, he walked from behind the plate and handed
the ball to the pitcher, rather than hear another of those
awful wheewwwww's. That made no difference to the fans
though, who are very conscientious about their ragging of
opposing teams. In that instant, when the ball left the catch­er's
hand and entered the pitcher's glove, there came one
of the shortest, but loudest "wheewwwww's that Auburn
has ever heard.
In addition, there was one member of the crowd that
was above and beyond the average heckler. She whined at
everyone. Umpires, opposing team members, Auburn coaches,
players and even the official scorekeepers were the targets
were the targets of her blasts.
"Hey, umpire, the strike zone doesn't go up to the bat­ter's
eyes.
"That's the way to hang on to the ball,catch," she
gloated as the Gator chased a pitch he missed.
"Hey, put the balls and strikes up there right, score-keeper,"
she said in her nasal gripe.
But then from elsewhere in the crowd.
"Aw, shut up!" It is an angel of mercy, disguised as
a guy in the crowd. He obviously knew the lady, because
he turned around and gave her a big grin, but he had said
what all the targets of her barbs had been wanting to say
since the game began. She remained quiet for a while, at
least until someone else made a mistake that she could give
them a hard time about.
So, I'm a freak. A hopeless case. But for some reason,
I really don't want to reform.
By Richard Little
Plainsman Sports Writer
Auburn assistant foot­ball
coach Claude Saia
has the responsibility of
finding replacements for
the graduating starting
backs Wallace Clark and
Mickey Zofko, and a
talented field of eleven
possibilities may make
the job a pleasant one.
Clark was the Tiger's lead­ing
ru&her in 1970, carrying
the ball 86 times for an
average of 4.9 yards a carry,
while Zofko was the team's
second leading rusher and
pass receiver, averaging over
seven yards every time he
touched the ball.
Six players - Terry Page,
Harry Unger, Rusty Fuller ,
David Shelby, Harry Ward
and Dave Ferguson - are
presently competing for the
fullback spot vacated by
Clark, and five - James
Owens, Terry Henley, Miles
Jones, Jerry Middleton and
Mike Masengill - are fight-'
ing for Zofko's tailback spot.
"Right now if we had to
open tomorrow, Henley would
be at tailback, and Page
would be our number one
fullback," said Saia. "But
both positions are still very
open."
"We are looking for three
things in our tailbacks; first,
how well they run; second,
their ability as pass receiv­ers;
and third, their block­ing.
'At fullback, it's dif­ferent.
We look at blocking
first, because no matter
what formation we set up in,
the fullback will line up at
the blocking position. It is
their main responsibility. We
look at their running second,
and their pass receiving last
because we pass very little
to our fullbacks," continued
Saia.
"In last Saturday's scrim­mage,
our best runners were
Henley and Middleton. Both
did some good open-field
running - they read with
their eyes well, that is, they
looked to see how to use
their blocking to the best
advantage. Our best block­ers
were Page and Fuller,"
said Saia.
Henley, Zofko's backup
man in 1970, is one of the
more experienced backs. He
carried the ball 40 times last
year, gaining 268 yards, and
ended up as the Tiger's
fourth leading rusher. Mid­dleton
is a 5-11, 185-pound
prospect from the freshman
team.
Page saw little action in.
1970, carrying the ball only
eight times, but his size 6-2,
222-pounds, is a great asset.
Fuller, a freshman from
Berry High School in Bir­mingham,
has drawn a lot of
praise from Saia.
"I am very impressed with
Rusty, and I feel like he can
get that important third-down-and-
two yardage when we
need it. His main problem
is inexperience. He has a
long way to go," said Saia.
The injury situation has
complicated Saia's job so
far, with three possible
starters, Owens, Unger and
Jones out of action 'till next
week. Also, freshman Harry
Ward underwent knee sur­gery
Wednesday morning.
Many of the backs may
play two positions, said
Saia.
"We started Unger our at
tailback this Spring, though
he backed up Clark at full­back
last year. Also, we
have David Shelby, who may
be the best utilityman back
in the country," said Saia.
"In general, I feel like
we have more quickness
and speed in the backfield
than we had last year,"
said Sais. "But the big
thing is experience. We
will miss Clark and Zofko.
They might have not been
the fastest or the quickest
backs in the country, but
they had a lot of experience
under their belt.
"Both Henley and Unger
played some last year, but
none of our backs have
known the feeling of starting
off with 70 thousand fans
yelling all around. All of
them have the ability, the
quickness, the size, and
the speed, but we have got
to find out which ones can
cut the mustard, or, as we
couches say, have the guts."
said Saia.

Auburn hosts LSU
in dual meet here
By Jerry Hester
Assistant Sports Editor
Tomorrow Auburn will host LSU in the first dual track
meet ever held between these two schools, after losing
last week to Alabama ,led by Pat Weaver, who scored thir­teen
points, by a score of 92-53.
* * * * * . * * . : * * * ? .
Alabama's Weaver, who
has been injured, surprised
Auburn with wins in the
long jump, high jump and
placed second in the triple
jump. Alabama also won
several close races, in­cluding
the 440 relay by .1
second and the mile relay
by .2 second.
LSU will bring a strong
team to Auburn headed by
Al Coffee the number one
ranked sprinter in the SEC.
Other top SEC performers
on the LSU team include
John Stewart, mile and 3
mile, Wayne Vondenstein,
long jump, triple jump, and
high hurdles, Gerald Mat­thews
in shot putt, discus,
and javelin, Ted Heriman,
high jump and long jump,
Jim Etts, 880 yd run, and
Lloyd Wills 440 yd dash.
LSU also has two fine re­lay
teams.
Auburn was led by Dar-rell
Peebles, who threw a
career best of 189 ft. to win
the javelin. Other first
place performances for Au­burn
were turned in by Steve
Richards in the high hurdles,

2965 poll culminates in 1971 radio station
Plainsman photo by Roger Wentowski
u Surrounded by appointment calendar, telephone number file
mOIIOQCIi and directories, Station Manager Rene Brinsfield works on his
correspondence. Some of Brinsfield's more recent correspon­dence
was with the Federal Communications Commission in Washington, D.C.,
about the delay in issuing the final permit for station operation.
By John. Samford
Plainsman Managing Editor
A special student opinion
poll taken during fall quarter
registration in 1965 by Au­burn's
student government,
then known as the Student
Body, showed that only 146
of the 2329 students polled
were against the idea of hav­ing
a campus radio station.
Two weeks later, the Stu­dent
S e n a t e unanimously
passed a r e s o l u t i o n en­dorsing
the idea and propos­ing
a one dollar per quarter
increase in Student Activi­ties
Fees to finance the sta­tion.
In fall elections, 62 per
cent of the student body
v o t e d "yes" for the pro­posal.
In April of 1971, the ef­forts
to establish a campus
radio station have finally be­come
a reality with WEGL of­ficially
going on the air.
Between 1965, and 1969,
very little action was taken
on the idea of a station. A
committee appointed by Pres.
Harry M. Philpott in Novem­ber
of 1965 took no action
on the students' proposal to
increase activity fees by
one dollar and the Board of
Trustees, which must ap­prove
all such c h a n g e s,
never even received the pro­posal.
One student group became
interested in the idea in the
fall of 1967, but they were
told by administrators that
the station would probably
be located in Haley Center
if Auburn was to have a sta­tion.
At that time Haley Cen­ter
was uncompleted.
A possible breakthrough
came in February 1969 when
several interested members
of the Speech Department
were told by the administra­tion
that a station was very
possible if a reasonable pro­posal
were submitted.
The problem of financing
q u i c k l y killed (he idea
though. The Allocation s
Board, which controlled the
Student Activities Fee at
that time, s t a t e d that no
funds were available for the
station and the Speech De­partment
could not support
the station.
Further serious efforts to
establish a station were a-bandoned
for the remainder
of the 1968-69 a c a d e m ic
year.
The initiative which re­sulted
in WEGL going on the
air this week came from
Chris Youtz who headed a
Presidential Task Force un­der
1969-70 Student Govern­ment
Association Pres. Da­vid
Hill.
After extensive study of
all possibilities, he presen­ted
a comprehensive report
to the administration during
the spring quarter which in­cluded
four alternative meth­ods
for setting up an F.M.
educational campus radio
station.
, Pres. Harry M. Philpott,
before making a decision on
the proposal, appointed a
special committee to "study
and make recommendations
concerning a campus radio
station." The committee ap­proved
Youtz's plan on April
28, 1970 and the proposal
went to the Board of Trustees
which approved the idea at
their regular May meeting.
Since the approval by the
Board, Youtz says that get­ting
the station on the air
has been a long series of
unexpected delays.
The initial step which had
to be taken was acquiring a
Building Permit from the
FCC which would allow the
station to begin purchasing
and building the equipment
for the station.
"We thought that it would
only take a month or two to
apply for the building per­mit,"
said Youtz, "but the
information required by the
FCC was so detailed, that
it was late October of this
year when we finally got the
applic ation sent in."
The information required
by the FCC included, among
other things, the exact lati­tude
and longitude of the pro­posed
site of the station, de­tails
about the background of
each member of A u b u r n 's
Board of Trustees, the offi­cial
owners of the station,
and detailed technical speci­fications.
It was not until Dec. 28,
two months after the Build­ing
Permit request was sub­mitted,
that the FCC granted
the station a permit.
The major delay between
December and last week was
that involved in getting the
equipment.
"We had to have all of
our equipment put together
and checked out before we
could apply for a test broad­cast
permit," said Youtz.
Most of the equipment came
in immediately, but a few
things, such as the antenna,
took well over a month for
delivery.
Finally, after an extensive
equipment checkout, WEGL
requested its Test Broadcast
permit two weeks ago and re­ceived
it F r i d a y of last
week.
WEGL is now on the air.
The final step of acquiring
an actual license is only a
formality according to Youtz.
"Officially WEGL is only
testing at the moment," said
Youtz, "but the license will
be granted in the near future.' *

Station Advisor Lopiccolo accustomed to setbacks
I'm more relieved
than elated of mis
stage of me gome/
said Lopiccoh, who
knew the station
was a natty.
By Thorn Botsford
Plainsman News Editor
It was Tuesday atternoon,
and WEGL was scheduled to
begin broadcasting the fol­lowing
day. There was one
problem however-the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) had not sent in the
traditional, final;'go ahead."
John Lopiccolo, speech
instructor and Project Direc­tor
for the new station, did
not seem disillusioned about
the new setback, which,
incidentally, postponed the
opening to Sunday. "Just
one of those things," was
the expression on his face.
Lopiccolo is accustomed
to 'setbacks. For five years
he has been working. „Jo
establish a radio station on
campus, and this was sim­ply
the last of a series of
postponements that had
plagued the station since
early winter quarter. "I'm
more relieved .than elated at
this stage of the game, said
Lopiccolo, who knew that
the station was finally a
reality.
Lopiccolo will serve as
an advisor to the station
manager of WEGL. Noting
that the administrative struc­ture
of the station is similar
to that of the Plainsman,
Lopiccolo emphasized that
he did not have the power to
censor programs. "I'm here
to help the station manager,
who is a student, but the
manager, not I , is respon­sible
for what finally goes
on the air," said Lopicollo.
The FCC sets certain
standards that the station
must follow. Since the station
is not licensed to advertise,
money from outside sources
can be accepted only in the
form of grants which may be
acknowledged on the air as
such. The station also has
to follow many technical
regulations and well-enforced
regulations concerning obs­cenity
and "equal time" to
different candidates during
elections.
"The manager has a dif­ficult
task," said Lopiccolo;
"He sometimes must de­termine,
in a short period of
time what is acceptable to
the FCC and what is not."
Lopiccolo said that live
interviews and "on the air"
telephone calls, which are
delayed only seconds, would
be especially difficult to
handle.
When asked if the station
would serve any educational
purposes, Lopiccolo said that
the station was primarily for
the entertainment of Auburn
students, but that the train­ing
received by those stu­dents
working with the
station would be valuable.
Students studying speech,
broadcasting, drama, busi­ness
management, political
science, and journalism might
be able to find extracurricula
work with the station that is
related to their fields of
study.
Jofca lopkcofo Plainsman photo by Roger Wentowski
"We have a training
program for volunteer workers
administered by the staff,"
said Lopiccolo. Most work
with the station will be extra-curricula
and not immediately
co-ordinated with the study
of any particular class in
speech or broadcasting. "It
would be unfair to the staff
to saddle them with people
who have assignments in
radio work and don't parti­cularly
want to work with the
to work with the station,"
Lopiccolo noted.
As far as educational
programming is concerned,
Lopiccolo said that various
speeches and interviews on
the air might be considered
educational. He emphasized
again, however, that the
station was oriented toward
the demands of the students.
Programs of classical
music and drama would be
broadcast, but Lopiccolo said
that there were not definite
plans for such programs.
There will be experimental
programming, however, on
the weekends that will allow
students working with the
station to utilize resources
that are educational in
nature. "The challenge of
co-ordinating special week­end
programs and the recep­tion
that they receive will
be interesting to observe,"
said Lopiccolo.
Lopiccolo said one of the
problems in broadcasting
classical music is the lack
of a good record library.
Record companies send free
promotional copies of rock,
popular, and jazz records
but do not send classical
records, he said. The
station ' cannot afford a
good classical library on
its present budget, said
Lopiccolo.
Lopiccolo's duties include
the supervision of financial
matters such as the signing
of purchase orders. The basic
staff of the station is paid,
but, for the time being, disc
jockeys are not. Lopiccolo
said thet unpaid disc jockeys
would put WEGL at a de­finite
disadvantage since
they are paid at other local
radio stations.
"Next year we hope to
be able to pay disc jockeys
if our allocations are in­creased,"
said Lopiccolo
The station plans to ask
for additional money to
pay five announcers $520 a
year.
Lopiccolo said the sta­tion's
relationship with the
University is good. The Unir
versity administrators sim­ply
want the station to fol­low
FCC regulations and the
"good practice" procedures
advocated by the National
Association of Broadcasters,
he said.
Although the station is on
the FM instead of the AM
dial, Lopiccolo did not
think this factor would cut
down on the station's
audience. "Many students
have FM radios because of
the various FM stations in
the area," said Lopiccolo
"Perhaps students who do
not own FM radios will buy
them because of the new
station," he added.
Lopiccolo is a speech
instructor currently working
on his Ph.D. in mass com­munications.

AU's 1922 station begins
2 years after nation's first
By Becky Arrington
Plainsman Staff Writer
Almost fifty years after
Auburn pioneered the broad­casting
industry with its
1922 station, a campus radio
station is again reality,
WEGL is Auburn's new
student-operated FM radio
station located on the first
floor, second quadrant of'
Haley Center. But WEGL
with its spacious new broad­casting
studios is decidedly
different from its 1922 pre­decessor.
WMAV ("We Make A
Voice"), Auburn's first
broadcasting station, began
transmitting only two years
after Pittsburg's KDKA
became the first licenced
station in the nation. Man­ager
of the station was P. 0 .
Davis, a public relations
man with the Agricultural
Extension Service. With
only a homemade 15 00-watt
transmitter, WMAV began
operating in November, 1922
from Broun Hall. The trans­mitter
was never operated
at full power because there
Was never enough money to
get six operable 250-watt
output tubes together at
one time.
Later to increase the
range, engineering students
cut a 40-foot pine tree,
stripped off the limbs, and
erected WMAV's new anten­na.
Despite the updated
facilities the station receiv­ed
in 1925, WMAV began
to lose pace during the
"radio boom". Only stations
with strong financial back­ing
were able to survive, so
Davis got permission from
the Board of Trustees to
buy new equipment and
include WMAV in the Exten­sion
Service funds.
The studio was moved to
Comer Hall, with a new
Western Electric transmitter
and twin 200-foot towers
located near the present
site of Dorm A.
Early in 1926 the Com­merce
Department granted
a licence to the new 1000-
watt station. The name was
changed to WAPI, for Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute.
Programs broadcast over
WAPI were quite different
from those of WEGL. Weekly
reports of egg-laying con­tests,
book reviews, and
live concerts were typical.
One program featured "Uncle
Timothy" Gowder, the win­ner
of the Agriculture Club's
Champion Hog Caller. A
Columbus, Ga. listener tes­tified
as to the power of
Uncle Tim. "My radio set
was near the kitchen win­dow,"
he said, and "when
the contest began, my
neighbor's hogs broke loose
and trampled my garden."
In contrast, programs on
WEGL are commercial free
featuring music from easy
listening to hard rock. Time­ly
news programs are sched­uled.
The station subs­cribes
to one of the major
news wire services.
During the early '20's,
Auburn had programs com­parable
to any station in.
the U.S., but toward the
end of the decade the res­ponse
began to die.
To save WAPI, it was
decided to move the station
to Birmingham, Alabama's
population and talent center.
The new 5000-watt station
went on the air December
-31, 1928. "with a big
splash,'' according to Davis.
Studios were atop the
Birmingham Protective life
Building with a transmitter
seven miles outside the
city.
As WAPI became more
successful, the University
of Alabama became interest­ed
in establishing its own
station. Instead, Davis pro­posed
that the two schools
operate jointly. A legisla­tive
act allocated revenue
to the schools on a percent­age
formula with Davis
retaining active manage­ment.
As a' result of the Depres­sion
, WAPI was leased to a
private company from July
1932 until 1961. It is now
owned by the Birmingham
News Company.
An FM radio affiliate was
added in 1946 and a televi­sion
station, WAFM, began
broadcasting in 1948, The
three now comprise WAPI-AM-
FM-TV.

Auburn's new campus
radio station WEGL may be
small in comparison to com­mercial
stations, but accord­ing
to consulting engineer.
Bob Ware, "it will by no'
means be lacking in adequate
equipment or facilities."
Ware, engineer for Auburn's
Educational Television Sta­tion
and WAUD radio station,
has been involved with WEGL
since it's initial beginnings
last spring.
Ware said, "the station
will be using new equipment
of excellent quality when
it goes into operation." The
audio console is by Gateway
with a Spotmaster cartridge
tape deck an d a Crown reel
to reel tape recorder, as well
as a QRK turntable.
The station's transmitter is
and RCA model BTNC.
"There were two specific
reasons fa choosing this
particular transmitter,''
stated Ware. "It can be used
if the station wishes to
broadcast in stereo and should
a power increase ever become
possible, this transmitter
would serve as the first stage
of a more powerful transmis­sion
unit."
WEGL and i t 's equipment
is located in the base­ment
of Haley Center while
the station's 18-feet tall
Gates FM 22 antenna is
located on the roof.
The station has a frequen­cy
of 91.1 megahertz and
an output of 17.5 watts of
effective radiating power
with a range of approximate­ly
10 miles.
Ware said, "if the right
procedures are followed in
establishing this station in
accordance with Federal
Communications Commission
regulations., along with the
equipment and facilities
available, a sound founda­tion
will have been set fa
an effective radio station
which should prove to be
an asset to the University."

art exhibit
An exhibit of studies for
screened prints by Austin
Lowrey is running weekdays
through May 15, 8 a.m. to 5
in Smith Gallery. Lowrey
teaches graphic design-visual
communication at the
University of Georgia.
The studies are torn or
cut paper collages overlaid
with a black and white con­tinuous
tone positive. Also
included are cut and folded
paper collages.
Lowrey is a native of Fort
Payne and received his BFA
and MFA degrees from Au­burn.
Before going to the
University of Georgia in 1965,
he was an advertising agency
art director and studio
designer in Birmingham and
New York City for six years.
His work is in the Atlanta
C & S Bank and Coca-Cola
USA collections as well as
the Addison Gallery of Amer­ican
Art in Andover, Mass.
He has been invited to
teach a silkscreen graphics
workshop at Penland School
of Crafts, Penland, N.C.,
this summer.
Tod Browning was often
referred to as the Edgar
Allen Poe of the cinema.
Among his other famous
films are "The Unholy
Three," "Dracula," "Mark
of the Vampire," "The Iron
Man" and "The Devil Doll."
Before entering motion
pictures, Browning was with
the circus and in vaudeville,
and many of his films reflect
this interest in those fields.
Prior to World War n nearly
every carnival and circus
had its collection of human
monsters, or freaks-persons
deformed in birth or horribly
maimed-who were proudly
exhibited to the public for
a price.
Browning assembled the
most famous of these per­formers
from all parts of the
world, and employed them
in a story of circus intrigue.
The film, perhaps reflect­ing
Browning's own early
associations, does not use
the freaks as side-show
exhibits. They are an integral
part of the daily life of the
circus and are shown as
human beings with human
emotions and reactions.
In Europe "Freaks" has
always been considered a
sensation and was highly
praised by critics. Its
American release though,
was confined to grind-run
exploitation theatres. At
the 1962 Cannes Film Fes­tival
Repertory, "Freaks"
was selected to represent
the horror film category.

speak on conservation.
His appearance is also
sponsored by the Department
of Fine Arts and the Au­burn
Chamber of Commerce.
Admission is free.
Prof. Charles Hie'rs, "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 prints will be dis­played
in Haley Center 2370.
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

The hour-long reading

Rose Marie Glyde, violin­ist

will be presented in
a violin-piano duo concert
Thursday, at 8:15 p.m. in
Langdon Hall.
The daughter of Prof,
and Mrs. Edgar Glyde, Miss
Glyde, has earned the rep­utation
of being one of the
top young soloists in her
field. She has not appeared
in concert in Auburn since
1966, when she was a mem­ber
of the Glyde String
Quintet.
A graduate of the Man­hattan
School of Music in
New York, Miss Glyde be­gan
her studies at the age
of five with her father. She
continued her studies with
Raphael Bronstein.
A reception in Bradley
Lounge will follow the
concert.
This event is being spon­sored
by the Fine Arts Com­mittee
of the Auburn Union.
tance, Dr. Robert Overstreet
of the speech department
said, is the effect achieved
when the spectator of a per­formance
is not so involved
in what he is watching that
it destroys the aesthetic
qualities of the performance.
Dr. Whitaker obtained her
masters and doctorate de­grees
at Louisiana State
University. She has been
teaching oral interpretation
of literature at the Univer­sity
of Texas for four years.
Dr. Overstreet added that,
"She is probably the nation's
leading authority on the
principle of aesthetic dis­tance
in performance. She
is also an excellent literary
critic and oral reader.''
Theodore Roethke, con­temporary
writer James
Dickey said, is "the finest
American poet." Dr. Whitaker
will build her reading pro­gram
on May 3 around Roeth­ke's
poetry, but she will also
include biographical data and
views of various critics.
There is a certain point
to which a spectator can get
involved emotionally and
still experience aesthetic
values of the performance.
This is the theme that Dr.
Whitaker* s lecture will con­cern
on May 4.
The Auburn Union is mak­ing
it financially possible
for the Speech Department
to ask Dr. Whitaker to come.
"We're inviting her to come
because we're interested in
expanding interpretation as
an area of study in the speech
department," Dr. Overstreet
said.

Historian named
Hudson Professor
Dr. W. David Lewis of the
State University of New
York at Buffalo has been ap­pointed
Hudson Professor
of History and Engineering
at Auburn, effective Sept. 1,
Pres. Harry M. Philpott an­nounced
this week.
The new chair is the sec­ond
established at Auburn
by an endowment provided
by the Callaway Foundation.

WEGL head
The Board of Student
Communications Monday
named Rene Brinsfield to
serve as manager of WEGL,
the campus radio station,
for the coming year. Brins­field,
who has served since
January as temporary man­ager,
was selected from three
applicants.
The Board defeated, by a
five to two vote, a resolu­tion
calling for an official
reprimand of Plainsman ed­itor
Beverly Bradford for
the April Fool's edition of
the paper.
In other action, the Board
appointed a committee to
establish a memorial award
in the name of Winton W.
Watkins IE, who served last
year as Plainsman business
manager. Watkins was killed
last month in an automobile
accident in Nashville, Tenn,
ly appointed Hudson Profes­sor
of Chemistry to work
principally with freshmen.
"We are very fortunate to
have in Dr. Lewis an his­torian
whose research in­terests
have spanned the de­velopments
of many of our
technological sciences. In
this age it is more important
than ever to understand the
interaction of technology with
our culture and Dr. Lewis is
highly qualified to provide
this liaision between engin­eering
and liberal arts at Au­burn,"
Dr. Philpott said.
Dr. Lewis will teach a new
three-quarter alternate to the
World History sequence now
required in the foundation
year program.
The new sequence will be
entitled, "Technology and
Civilization" and will in­volve
the historical study of
the interaction between tech­nology
and other aspects of
human culture.
Other courses to be taught
by Dr. Lewis will include
"Technology, Society and
the Environment."
Dr. Lewis will be a mem­ber
of the faculty within the
Department of History. How­ever,
engineering Dean J.
Grady Cox stated that he
hopes Dr. Lewis will be able
to offer assistance to the
School of Engineering in de­signing
new curriculums and
by advising the various com­mittees
in that school. "I feel
this is an honest and sincere
effort to open up a new per­spective
for students and fa­culty
in both engineering and
the liberal arts," he said.
