              Final recount confirms Milton President
By Ricky Sellers
Plainsman Staff Writer
A final recount of votes in last week's SGA
election was made Monday, confirming Ed
Milton as President of the Student Government
Association. The recount was made on request
of defeated candidate Chip Stilwell.
Difficulties that led to the protest started last
Thursday night when 1689 ballots were re­corded
on faulty tape that was consequently re­jected
by the computer, according to Ralph
Teague, programmer in charge of special proj­ects.
Teague explained that the tape either had
been overused or was in such bad condition that
the computer could not pick up the information
on it.
"We had to make another tape with the same
1689 ballots on it. It took one hour to re-run the
1689 ballots onto another tape, Teague said.
'The scan sheets that the students voted on
were run through the optical, scanner for the
second time that evening to make that tape. The
optical scanner transferred the information
from the scan sheets to a magnetic tape so that
it could be processed through the computer,"
said Teague.
Referring to rumors that only one candi­date's
representatives were present, Teague
said, "Members of both SGA Presidential cam­paigns
and members of the Election Board were
present during the entire time," said Teague.
"It was approximately 7:30 p.m. when we en­countered
the second problem of the evening,"
said Teague. "Improperly marked ballots were
the reason for this problem. Some students had
left blank spaes on the scan sheet concerning
their student number.
"The computer was not programmed to
handle this situation, therefore it stopped,"
Teague said.
"It took approximately 30 minutes to solve
this problem," said Teague. "We changed the
computer program to accept blank student
numbers as well as incorrectly recorded
numbers. Both types were later thrown out as
the ballot counting was done."
"Those were the only two problems that we
encountered that night," said Teague. "After we
solved those, the results were properly tabu­lated."
Teague said there are many safeguards in the
system to prevent illegal voting.
"One of the safeguards is that no student
could vote more than once. A list of all the
students registered for spring quarter was con­tained
within the computer," Teague said.
"This list of registered students was com­pared
with the student number on the scan
sheet. If any number appeared more than once,
both ballots were not counted," Teague added.
Fourteen duplicate ballots were not counted
by the computer in Thursday's election,, ad-dording
to Teague.
Another safeguard; according to Teague, was
that no student could vote out of the district or
school in which he was registered. "If a student
attempted to vote in another district or school,
the vote for that particular race was trans­ferred
to the corresponding ballot number in his
proper school or district. The entire ballot was
not cast out," Teague said.
The same type of safeguard', was used to ;
prevent voting in another district, Teague said.
"Lists were submitted by the Election Board
containing residents of four of the five school
districts," he said.
' "If a student attempted to vote for more than
the authorized amount of candidates, that par­ticular
race was blanked out but not the entire
ballot. For example, an Off-Campus student
could not vote for more than nine candidates,"
Teague said.
Of 5332 ballots that were fed through the com­puter,
178 were rejected, according to Teague.
Fourteen of these were duplicate ballots; 164 of
the ballots were rejected for other reasons.
Teague said one of the reasons for rejection was
that students improperly marked the ballots by
leaving out or mismarking a portion of their stu­dent
number. "The remainder of the numbers
were rejected because they were not numbers of
students registered for spring quarter," said
Teague.
Teague said scan sheets that are marked in
ink are not always picked up by the scanner, but
sometimes are recorded.
Mike Smith, secretary of Political Affairs,
said, "The method used this year to tabulate the
votes was the best possible. The only improve­ment
I can think of would be to provide special
scan sheets so that balloting would be easier."
Some students voting in the election objected
to the format of the ballot, which recorded each
student's identity—through his student
number—along with his choices. "I don't call
that a secret ballot, even if it is going to be fed
into a computer," one student said.
Dean James E. Foy of Student Affairs said,
"This past election was the most efficient, effec­tive,
and honest we've ever had."
"Actually, some of the returns were available
earlier than ever before. Last year counting on
some of the Senate races extended into the early
morning. We had all totals at 11 p.m. this year,"
Foy said.
Smith said that this year's system was su­perior
to others used in the past, because it pre­vented
students from voting in schools other
than the one in which they were enrolled and be­cause
it was about $1000 cheaper than renting
standard voting machines. It also prevented
former students not presently enrolled at
Auburn frrom voting, Smith said

'Quiet reason' to be watchword
of new Milton administration
Setting the theme of the new Student
Government Association administra­tion
as one of "quiet reason rather than
blazing rhetoric," Ed Milton was in­stalled
as 1973-74 SGA president Tues­day
night.
Milton called on the Student Senate
to stimulate interest in SGA and its
activities in the brief speech to the in­stallation
banquet. He noted that the
SGA is a small minority of the student
body and added that it must work hard
to maintain student interest.
"We will not make change through
rhetoric. We will make change through
reason," Milton said.
Former President Jerry Batts told
the new officers "You're not going to
get anything accomplished unless you
can talk to each other." Batts told the
senators before they took the oath of of­fice,
"No individual is indispensible.

Mike Wilson, and President Ed Milton.
In his farewell address, Batts said to
the winners of last Thursday's elec­tions,
"I am envious of you but I
wouldn't trade places with you for any­thing."
Summing up his year as pres­ident,
Batts quoted Charles Dickens:
"It was the best of times, it was the
worst of times. . ."
After the banquet, the new Senate
met and elected a President Pro Tem
and other officers (Related story, this

In leaving office, Batts said his
future would be guided by the creed,
'There are doers and talkers. I hope to
be in the first category—there's less
competition there.
Thrasher elected
President Pro Tem
School of Business Senator Bill
Thrasher was elected President Pro
Tem of the 1973-74 Student Senate in
the body's first meeting Tuesday night
after the Student Government Asso­ciation
installation banquet.
Thrasher won over Off-Campus
Senator Mike Zeigler in secret ballot­ing.
An objection raised to Zeigler's
serving in the position was that he will
not be in Auburn during the summer.
Zeigler explained that he would be on
a Naval ROTC training cruise this
summer and could not be in Auburn to
serve as President Pro Tem. The Presi­dent
Pro Tem is expected to preside
over the Summer Student Senate this
year, since Senate President Mike
Wilson has said he probably will not be
enrolled this summer. Thrasher said he
would be enrolled this summer.
In other action, the new Senate
elected Home Economics Senator Ann
Hoffman clerk, and Arts and Sciences ,
Senator Dave Dyson and Off-Campus
Senator Bill Alvis to the Rules commit­tee.
Baby "possum rinds a quiet plate fo stay in on oW tor cos*
Auburn goddesses swarm sun decks
By Rheta Grimsley
Plainsman Features Editor
Yearly, Auburn women, their
greased hands pressing pillows and
baby oil bottles against white bodies,
dash to the nearest "sun deck" as soon
as the first spring tanning rays ap­pear.
Here, wooden platforms support a
capacity load of near-nude females who
lie with their bodies exposed to the sun
and to the ingenious viewing tech­niques
of undaunted girl-watchers.
"I was out there just two weeks after
it snowed," declared one enthusiastic
sun goddess. "Sometimes it was so cool
that I covered up with my beach towel
and just got sun on my face."
Now that it's warmer, more and more
girls spend hours lying in the sun, since
a "good tan" seems a requirement for
all girls on campus. "That's the reason
I decided to come to Auburn in the first
place," admitted one female student
from Wisconsin. "I knew I could get a
good tan without having to take week­end
trips to Florida when I couldn't af­ford
it."
By ten o'clock on every cloudless
Saturday morning the deck, an en­closed
flat area of gravelled roof on the
top floor of the women's dorms, is filled
with radios, clocks, books, soda cups,
miscellaneous bathing suit parts, and
sprawling bodies of all size and des­cription.
The "solar queens" are
covered by bathing suits of wild print,
underwear or sometimes just tanning
butter. Jars and bottles are propped
near the platforms, and these tanning
concoctions become the subject of
much discussion by girls who are de­termined
to make the most of the Ala­bama
sun.
Baby oil mixed "half and half' with
iodine is a favorite mixture that is "sure
to blister." "It's not good to use if you
have real dry skin," explained one coed
who swears by the potion. "But it will
give you a pretty colored tan, and it's a
lot quicker acting than any other
method."
Other more ingenious sun-worship­pers
annoint themselves with luke­warm
beer ("it tans because of the
alcohol in it"), strong tea or coconut oil
from Hawaii before sacrificing their
bodies to the sun.
The sleeping, gossiping or studying
girls are usually oblivious to the sur­rounding
world while encased in their
protective brick walls, but the boys on
campus do all they can to intrude into
the "business" of sunbathing. "Sure,
you can see the girls on the sundeck of
Dorm 9 from the top of Haley Center,"
said one boy who enjoys his ten
minutes between classes. 'The view's
not real good, but it's the idea that
counts.
"I've even known boys that rent air­planes
in the spring and fly low with bi­noculars
to inspect the top of the
dorms," he continued.
Lots of girls complain about the in­creased
number of "men on the hall"
during spring. "It seems like they final­ly
get around to replacing the light
bulbs, repairing the screens and work­ing
with the plumbing on the third floor
at this time of the year," said one girl,
frowning. "Sometimes they even have
the nerve to clean off the deck when
there are girls up there."
Despite these accusations, of "too
many repairmen "some of thedecks are
in dire need of repair. The platforms are
rotting, nails are coming out of the
boards and rain water and garbage
usually cover the area. In several in­stances
girls have visited the In­firmary
for removal of splinters ac­quired
during their sun-bathing ses­sions—
not to mention the coeds that
have remained for a day or so to get
over third degree burns.
"Seven hours is my record time,"
commented one endurance expert.
Admitting that "it gets old and hot" to
stay in one place for so long she said,
"It was worth it, though. I had the best
tan in the dorm that spring!"
Doctors are not as excited by the far-reaching
craze in a section of the coun­try
that used to value lily-white skin.
"Of course there's always the danger of
skin cancer caused from constant ex­posure
to the sun," stated Dr. A.V.
Spade, dermatologist. "Excess sun also
causes skin to age faster, wrinkles to
come earlier in life, susceptibility to
fungus infection and spreading and
dry patches on the skin and scalp."

Ministers lead drive against hunger
Claiming that rising food prices and
cutbacks in federal assistance pro­grams
have caused a "hunger crisis"
among Lee County's poor, 11 campus
ministers are appealing to students to
donate canned foods for emergency dis­tribution
to hungry families.
The ministers representing nine dif­ferent
denominations will lead a ten-day
drive beginning Monday to en­courage
students and townspeople to
contribute. Local Pensions and
Securities and Headstart-VISTA of­fices
have agreed to distribute the col­lected
food only to persons who have no
food available and not as a part of any
regular daily programs.
"We hope to involve fraternities,
sororities, service fraternities and Au­burn
churches as participating
organizations. All groups are asked to
designate one person to be responsible
for motivation and collection within
that organization," said Walter Porter,
minister at the Baptist Student Union.
Individuals wishing to contribute
during the 10-day period will find col­lection
boxes in all dormitories and in
the churches of participating
ministers.
Along with Porter, the participating
ministers are Paul Cates, Auburn
Christian Foundation; Bob Crabtree,
Campus Crusade for Christ; Glenn
Edgerton, First Presbyterian Church;
Bud Engbert, St. Michaels Catholic
Church; Carl Herndon, Wesley
(Methodist) Foundation; Joel Kettner,
Trinity Lutheran Church; Sister Mary
Richard, St. Michaels; Jerry Ridling,
Village Christian Church; Rod Sin­clair,
Episcopal College Center; Oxford
Smith, Baptist Student Union.
In a statement issued last week, the
ministers said, "There is a hunger
crisis right here in Lee County, and
your help is needed now. Have you felt
the pinch of soaring food prices at the
grocery store? If so, consider the pro­blems
of families on welfare who must
feed their children and pay all other liv­ing
expenses on approximately $80 a
month.
The statement added, "Another
cause for the present great need is the
recent cutback in federal programs to
aid the poor. The Office of Economic
Opportunity is being phased out as a
whole, but even more serious for the
poor in Lee County has been the
elimination of the Emergency Food
and Medical Program.
"In the Auburn-Opelike area, 17.9 per
cent of the people survive below the
poverty level. Last year, 8,800 people re­ceived
commodity foods, but still over
4,000 of the poor were not even enrol­led.
Furthermore, hundreds of families
with up to 15 children run out of com­modity
foods and must go hungry at
the end of each month."

Smith says WEGL was unfair
By Ricky Sellers
Plainsman Staff Writer
Mike Smith, Student Go­vernment
Association secre­tary
of political affairs, has
charged that, "WEGL was
not completely fair in its co­verage
of the SGA presiden­tial
elections."
One point that Smith made
was that WEGL-FM an­nounced
a fund-raising
concert to be held for candi­date
Chip Stilwell. Smith
said, "The radio station tfid
not mention Stilwell's name,
but they still promoted the
concert."
Joel Snider, the announcer
who promoted the concert,
said, "I did not know that the
concert was a Stilwell pro­motion.

there was going to be a
concert Sunday afternoon, so
Archaeologist digs out Indian remains
By George Brooks
Plainsman Staff Writer
"The most difficult part of my job is
keeping the people from stealing the
bones," lamented the gray-haired,
elderly-looking man. Upon first im­pression
this small-statured person
appears to be just another grandfather
lingering on memories of the past.
Yes, he does spend a large portion of
his time delving into the past, but his
efforts are not wasted. And his small
stature in no way impairs the very big
job he performs every day. His name is
Harold Husher, professor of Archaeo­logy
at the University of Georgia. His
job is burial salvaging.
Professor Husher came to Auburn
last Thursday, April 12, to hold an ar­chaeological
workshop with members
of the East Alabama Chapter of the
Alabama Archaeological Society.
There he spoke about his latest efforts
to uncover the past and brought the
skeletal remains of an Indian child for
exhibit..
The archaeologist is presently en­gaged
in salvaging all that he can from
some ancient burial grounds located
near LaGrange, Georgia. 'The burial
grounds," said Husher, "were used by
the Indians for almost a thousand
years immediately preceding trade
contact with the Spaniards in the 16th
century."
A great deal of information can be
gained from the excavations near the
Chattahoochee River. Until now the
Chattahoochee River Basin has been
almost untouched by the pick and
spade of an archaelogist. From his
work Prof. Husher hopes that others
will be able "to better construct the
past" by using all the new information
he will have obtained.
The 500 year old child that Husher
displayed as' a sample of his work in
LaGrange was brought "en bloc" to the
Auburn workshop. There Professor
David Chase of Auburn methodically
washed away all of the dirt that
encased the skeleton, revealing what
was left of the Indian child.
Professor Husher began his excava­tion
at LaGrange upon receipt of a
$20,000 grant from the Calloway
Memorial Fund. He was commis­sioned
to begin his "diggings" near the
site where Interstate 85 will even­tually
leave LaGrange towards At­lanta.
Though there is no question that he
enjoys his profession, Husher did voice
a few complaints about the work.
Before any archaeological work can be
started, the money must be obtained.
And, according to Husher, it is not
easy. Even though the $20,000 grant
sounds impressive, Husher says that it
will not be enough. The LaGrange site
covers 40 acres and a thorough job will
be time-consuming.
Often the problem is finding money
to begin the excavations. According to
Husher, the National Parks Fund that
is supposed to support archaeology is
often plagued by insufficient funds. He
feels that if he had the money they
could "follow all of the bulldozers in the
area and really come up with some find­ings."
Once the funds are secured, the pro­fessor
faces the challenge of nature in
two ways. Many times the bones are
destroyed by acid in the ground before
they can be uncovered. "The southern
soil," said Husher "is full of acid which
eats away the bones."
Even if the bones are not dissolved
nature deters his progress by raining
on the profiles, "All too often we must
stop at night only to find the next morn­ing
that'the rain has destroyed the pro­files
we have not yet removed." Husher
remarked that only a limited number of
profiles can be covered at night be­cause
they don't have enough covers
for forty acres.
'Open rush' working after dismal beginning
By Steele Holman
Plainsman Staff Writer
An "open rush" system is
now working for Auburn fra­ternities
after a dismal be­ginning
in 1970, according to
John Thrower, Interfrater-nity
Council rush vice-presi­dent.
The idea behind open rush
is to stimulate fraternities to
recruit their pledges at any
time of the year instead of ex­clusively
during forma] rush
immediately preceding fall
quarter. The formal rush,
though de-emphasized, still
exists for late registrants and
others who have not been
contacted by individual fra­ternities.
In formal rush, 1970, 575
men pledged fraternities. For
the rest of the year, under
open rush, 310 men pledged.
In 1971 there was a pro­nounced
drop in formal rush
pledges when only 485 men
pledged. The open rush
gained 322 pledges more that
year. Five hundred men
pledged in the 1972 formal
rush, and so far 192 men have
pledged through winter
quarter, 1973.
Under the ""open' rush
system, fraternities can no;
longer expect prospects to be
brought to their doorsteps,
said Thrower. The IFC's res­ponsibility
now is finding
men interested in joining a
fraternity and submitting
their names to each of the 27
fraternities. The fraternities
then hold independent rush
functions of their own, he
said.
The IFC also works to
foster interest in the Greek
system by presenting
programs during summer
pre-college counseling, ac­cording
to Thrower.
Spring and summer are in­creasingly
important times
for rushing because prospe -
tive pledges are first con­tacted
during this time.
,i, Thrower said^Ahimni are en­couraged
to* recommend
prospects during the spring
so that they can be reached
during the summer, and the
IFC begins its mailing
program to new students
during the summer, he said.
While spring and summer
are important, Thrower em­phasized
that open rush is a
year-round business for fra­ternities.
Interested students
of any class standing may
contact fraternities through
the IFC office at any time of
the year, he said. Some men
who would like to pledge
think that they have to wait
until fall before contacting a
fraternity, Thrower added.
Some fraternities are be­ginning
to gear for the. open
rush by spreading rush par­ties
throughout the year in­stead
of concentrating them
all during the football
season, thus helping the fra­ternities
reach more prospec­tive
pledges, he said.

The case on trial was of the

The Echo were stopped
at the Durham, N.C. school,
because the editorial policy
was rascist and failed to "re­present
fairly the full spec­trum
of views," said Whiting.
NCCU, a 63-year-old institu­tion,
"is not a 'black univer­sity'
and does not intend to
become one," said Whiting.
However, the Fourth
Circuit Court said The Echo

Members of the University
Senate passed a resolution
Tuesday to appoint a repre­sentative
to the University
Board of Trustees. The
resolution was passed in res­ponse
to the invitation of
Pres. Harry M. Philpott. Pre­viously,
although Auburn
students have had a delegate
on the Board, the faculty has
not been represented.
The resolution was intro­duced
by Dr. Ed Williamson,
professor of History. William­son
expressed some concern
that the resolution will give
the faculty only one repre­sentative
on the Board, but
stated that he felt passing the
resolution would be in the
best interest of the faculty.
In other business, Dr. Glen
Eaves, head of the Teaching
Effectiveness Committee, an­nounced
that the Teacher
Course Evaluation Booklet,
normally published an­nually
by the Student Go­vernment
Association, will
not be published this year.
Nancy Watkins, who is in
charge of the publication,
said that the $2000 allocated
by the SGA for this year's
booklet was simply not
enough to cover expenses, ac­cording
to Eaves.
Also reporting to the
Senate was Dr. Alan Jones,
head of the Library Commit­tee.
Jones announced plans
to open the library facilities

The chain letter begins
with two money orders and a
- list of various names and ad-
<"dresses.~This list is sold to a
customer for $10, and he re­ceives
the list and a $5 money
order for his $10. He then
mails the $5 money order to
the person whose name is
first on the list.
He removes the first name
from the list before mailing it
and adds his own to the
bottom. He then purchases
two $5 money orders, at­taches
them to two new
copies of the letter and fsells
the list to two other persons.
The objective is to receive a
mailbox full of money orders
as the person's name reaches
the top of the list.
Shatzel pointed out that, in
addition to being illegal, the
originators of the letters
often get the profit, while
other participants lose their
investments.
Shatzel urged anyone re­ceiving
such a letter to notify
their local postal inspector or
the office of the postal in­spector
in charge in Chatta­nooga,
Tennessee, 37401.

$700-budget board
hears only 5 cases
By Burr Ingram
Plainsman taff Writer
The Student Government
Association's Consumer Re­lations
Board, -which con­sists
of three committees, in­volves
17 persons and re­ceived
$700 in student acti­vity
fees, has heard only five
cases in the last year.
"There is just not a lot of
ripping-off by the merchants
in Auburn," said Denson
Lipscomb, director of the
Consumer Relations Board,
when questioned about the
activities of the board.
Lipscomb, who has served
as director of the board for
the past year, stressed that
the board's lack of work has
resulted from little interest
shown by the consuming
student. "We're not overflow­ing
with complaints," he re­marked.
With such a small case
load, Lipscomb said the
board's work could be
handled more easily and ef­fectively
by one or two people.
He said the ineffectiveness of
the board is increased be­cause
it is^only a pressure
special
REPORT
group, and "there is too little
responsibility for too many
people."
The SGA created the board
in 1971 with the dual purpose
of educating the consumer, as
well as helping him solve con­sumer
grievances. The board
supposedly handles com­plaints
from students, facul­ty,
administration, and their
immediate family. Three
major committees make up
the Consumer Relations
Board. These are the Board of
Arbitrations, the Grievance
Committee, and the Re­search
Committee.
The Board of Arbitrations
is a seven-member group
which handles cases referred
ijo them by the Grievance
Committee. Members of the
Board of Arbitrations are the
director of the Ombudsman,
the director of the Consumer
Relations Board, the chair­man
of the Student Welfare
Committee of the student
senate, three businessmen
appointed by the Auburn
Chamber of Commerce, and
one faculty member nomi­nated
by the SGA president
and approved by the Cham­ber
of Commerce. The faculty
seat is presently unfilled.
The Grievance Committee
consists of four student
members appointed by the
director. This committee is
the first to handle a consu­mer
dispute. If it is unable to
solve the problem, the case
goes to the arbitrations
board.
The Research Committee
provides information on
topics and laws that are of in­terest
to the consumer. The
committee is made of six
student members appointed
by the director.
The procedure for the
settlement of a consumer
complaint begins with the
submission of the complaint
to the Grievance Committee
through the Ombudsman.
The Grievance Committee
evaluates the complaint and,
if it is considered legal and
valid, attempts to settle the
dispute.
If this committee fails to re­solve
thejifjmSscfiie .case is
considereSo&y the- Board of
Arbitrations. If settlement is
not forthcoming, then letters
are sent to the Better Busi­ness
Bureau of Columbus
and to the Auburn Chamber
of Commerce. The county at­torney
and, if need be, the at­torney
general are notified if
there are not results from the
previous actions.
Lipscomb criticized the
procedure saying, "there is
too much red tape involved."
He added that many people
do not file their complaint be­cause
they would rather talk
to a person than the Om­budsman
tape.
Last spring two com­plaints
were filed with the
Consumer Relations Board.
Once concerned a refund on a
motorcycle cover and the
other auto repairs by a local
service station. Nothing
came of either case because
the complaints were not valid
in the eye of the Grievance
Committee. During the fall
the board was able to get
apartment deposits returned
to two students. Only one
complaint has reached the
board since that time. One
person clained a clothes
cleaners damaged his shirt
and demanded that he be
paid for the shirt. However,
after his initial complaint the
board was unable to get in
touch with him again. Thus,
nothing was done.
The $700 budgeted to the
Consumer Relations Board
by the SGA has remained
unspent, however, Lipscomb
said they were "planning to
publish a yellow page type
guidebook for new fresh­men."
The book will contain
information about local busi­nesses
that will be helpful to
new students.

Souvenirs
These papers are just part of 14,300
extra copies of last week's election
issue that were dumped outside The
Plainsman's offices last Friday morn­ing.
A printer's error caused the usual
run of 14,300 copies to be repeated,
doubling the number of papers nor­mally
printed. Student election candi­dates
who would like souvenir copies of
last week's election issue are invited to
pick up their copies at 109 Langdon
Hall. Copies will be given out on a first-come,
first-served basis; there is a li­mited
number of papers (14,100).

Council asked for voting date stand

Representatives of the Au­burn

(ACLU) asked the Auburn
Doug Meckes
wins presidency
of Vet School
A run-off was held Friday
for president of the School of
Veterinary Medicine, but it
was not needed. In last
Thursday's election, Bob
Shuler, 4VM, received 71
votes as did Doug Meckes,
4VM, which necessitated a
run-off Friday. In Friday's
run-off election Meckes won
by a substantial amount.
When the ballots were re­counted
by the computer
Monday, however, Doug
Meckes had 73 votes and Bob
Schuler had 69 votes.
City Council Tuesday to take
a definite stand on the ques­tion
of changing the voting
date in city elections from
summer to spring so more
students and University per­sonnel
would be able to vote.
John Saxon, spokesman
for the group, said he would
like to see the proposed
change introduced as local
legislation at the upcoming
session of the Alabama
Legislature.
Since the date of city elec­tions
is set by state law, any
changes must be passed
through the legislature.
Mayor James Haygood
foresaw two problems which
would arise if the date were
changed. He said if elections
were held in the spring, a
"lame duck" council would be
created with more than six
months left to serve before a
new council took office on
Oct. 1, the start of the new
fiscal year.
Haygood said that the pos­sibility
of a "lame duck"
council could be eliminated if
the beginning of the term of
office for councilmen and the
start of the next fiscal year
were changed.
Saxon acknowledged the
difficulty involved in the
changes but said it would be
easier to get the proposals
through the legislature than
to ease the problems con­fronting
voters when apply­ing
for absentee ballots.
Council President Eugene
Stanaland asked if it would
be possible to start the school
year earlier—about the be­ginning
of August—so the
University would be in
session when city elections
are held.
Interviews will begin
Monday, in the Student
Government Association
offices in Bullard Hall, for ap­pointments
within next
year's SGA, according to
SGA President Ed Milton.
The interviews will be con­ducted
from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
each day for two weeks.

Secretary of Academic
Affairs, Secretary of Student
Affairs, Secretary of Politi­cal
Affairs, Secretary of
Public Relations, Secretary
of Student Welfare, and
Chairman of Horizons Sym­posium.
Other positions available
are assistant administrative

the treasurer, coordinator of
teacher-course evaluation
projects, head of faculty rela­tions,
head of the extracurri­cular
studies program, and
director of the draft counsel­ing

Milton said that some of
the positions may be deleted
to. improve efficiency in the
future but encouraged
students to apply for any of
the above positions that par­ticularly
interest them.
He also stressed that in­terested
parties should apply

To feed the hungry
In the Auburn-Opelika area
17.9 per cent of the people survive
below the poverty level.
That grim figure comes from the
latest United States census, taken
in 1970. It indicates that ap­proximately
13,000 people in our
area fall below minimum stand­ards
of living—a set of totals vary­ing
according to the environments
of the disadvantaged, family size,
and consumer prices.
But the overall figure is ac­curate,
according to the local Head-start-
VISTA office. "And likely to
grow worse unless we do some­thing,"
according to Walter Porter,
minister at the Baptist Student
Union.
Porter, along with 10 other cam­pus
ministers, claims that many of
the poor in Lee County are not able
to cope with soaring food prices
and cutbacks in emergency food
and medical programs. "Have you
felt the pinch of rising food prices
at the grocery store? IF so, consider
the problems of families on welfare
who must feed their children and
pay all other living expenses on ap­proximately
$80 a month," the
ministers charge in a recent press
release.
Nearly 9000 of the local poor re­ceived
commodity foods last year
but sometimes "ran out" and had to
count on emergency supplies from
the federally sponsored Emer­gency
Food and Medical Program,
says Owen Boles at Headstart-
VISTA. But the emergency pro-fram
is virtually being eliminated
y the Nixon administration, say
the campus ministers, and there is
no other agency in the area that
will be able to supply so many with
a crucial need.
So the ministers, who represent
nine different religious groups, are
appealing to students to donate
canned food for emergency dis­tribution
to the poor. They fear that
many might suffer from malnutri­tion
in the near future and
speculate that a sizable number of
these would be women and chil­dren
incapable of working or earn­ing
sufficient wages.
We don't think a group of
ministers spanning the local de­nominational
and interdenomina­tional
spectrum would deceive us.
Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian,
Episcopal, Catholic, Church of
Christ, Lutheran, Disciples of
Christ, Campus Crusade. . .they
all contendthat a "hunger crisis" in
Lee County already exists. And
they don't quibble theologically
about whether or not Christians
should attempt to tackle the crisis
head on. "Concern for and feeding
of the hungry is concern for and
love for Jesus Christ," is thier
Easter message.
Of course, most of the churches
have long supported programs de­signed
to help the poor. The fact
that 11 ministers are now collec­tively
appealing to the public for
assistance may be an indication
that thei** mHiNriHnal programs are
severely inadequatefor the job.
The food drive starts Monday.
Students in fraternities, sororities,
service clubs and' 'local churches
will be collecting ctumeu goods
from members in their organiza­tions.
Individuals who wish to con­tribute
will find collection boxes for
donations in all dormitories,
churches, and religious student
centers.
Remembering to purchase and
donate an extra can of fruit or
vegetables next week may seem
bothersome or insignificant to
some. "Of what value is one can of
food? is so often the subconscious
attitude of the relatively affluent.
But if students will visualize the
contents of a can of food satisfying
the nutritional needs of a hungry
child, the "bother" r%; participat­ing
is suddenly extremely im­portant.
Bike registration
It won't be long before students
have to register to breathe.
That's what we thought last
week when Campus Police Chief
Millard Dawson and members of
his force cut the chains of unregis­tered
bikes on campus and im­pounded
them.
Of course, Dawson is not mali­cious.
He's only doing his job, en­forcing
a regulation set last spring
by the Traffic and Parking Com­mittee.
That regulation requires
students who ride bikes on campus
to pay a $1 registration fee. The
Campus Security Office, thus, has
a record of them in case they are
stolen.
At first, we didn't like the regula­tion.
It simply seemed like another
useless bureaucratic device. If a
bike is stolen, we thought, a thief
will certainly remove a registra­tion
sticker and perhaps disguise
the bike so that it cannot be identi­fied.
Surely, registration would not
aid policemen too much in locat­ing
stolen bikes.
But there is a better reason for re­gistration.
Dawson says that much
of the collected fee money goes for
purchasing bike racks. Without the
racks, cyclists would park any­where,
thereby cluttering the
campus and sometimes obstruc­ting
passageways and commons
areas. Also, the risk of theft is
greater if a bike is not parked in a
rack. Police can more effectively
watch for real thieves cutting bike
chains if most bikes are centrally
parked.
Dawson says he has in storage
about 75 bicycles impounded over
the past few months. For a dollar,
the owners can register these bikes
and take them home.
Bikes contribute to traffic and
parking congestion as well a s auto­mobiles.
The registration fee is a
means to provide places for the
hundreds of bikes on campus.
Since the fee is not a monstrous
sum to pay and since the need for
bike racks is obvious, the matter is
not worth griping about.

Going to Atlanta with stars in their eyes
An hour before dusk set in on a fine
spring day, the cool tree greens
sparkled.in a stream of gentle sun­light,
and the air carried the light scent
of an anonymous flower. The echoes of
Thorn
Botsford
distant voices mocked me, an. indoors
man, for my sheltered foolery. "Some­thing
strange and wonderful is just
around the bend and over the hill,"
they seemed to say.
Such days make you feel ageless.
Nothing should worry you when na­ture
is so kind.
Then I remembered an errand I had
neglected for days. That's what had
brought me out of my smoky den in the
first place.
As soon as I had settled into my
Chevrolet, I noticed my problem was
sitting in the seat next to me. Con­founded
thing, determined to ruin a
spring day, it had followed me out­doors.
"Great day, isn't it? Bet you could en­joy
it if you knew what you'll be doing
when you graduate. You know, that's
not too far off. Better decide quick.
Wonder if you'll be settled enough to en­joy
a spring day next year."
I shook my head. When a problem
grows cocky enough to talk, it's time to
find a solution.
A good twenty yards before I
knocked on my friend's door, I knew he
and a bundle of others were oblivious to
spring, too. Seeping through the walls,
rock music and the shrill laughs of a
couple of teen-aged girls made me fear
for the safety of my phonograph re­cords,
the objects of my errand.
I was greeted with a belch, a cloud of
cigarette smoke, and the smell of gin.
"Come in," said Jessebelle, "we're
celebrating."
My friend has "scored" a job in
Atlanta and was saying good-bye to
the neighborhood. A triumphant smile
smeared on his face, he told Jessebelle
and the others to "cut the chatter" so he
could explain his good fortunes to me.
"Yup. Atlanta," he announced. "Got
a job doing lab work. They won't letme
work in the main office yet, but I'll get
there soon. The boss is a great guy, a
great success. If I play it right, I'll get a
raise soon and eventually break into it
socially."
"Break into it socially?" I asked. This
was the same friend who had often lam­pooned
the middle-class for their bland,
"social climbing" pastimes.
"Sure, to live in the city—to really
live—you gotta get somewhere. Play
their game. First it's a civic club, then a
country club. Then another raise. Got­ta
have a night life too and a decent
place to go after the clubs close for the
night. I'm fired up—I'll have a pent­house
eventually," he exclaimed.
"What kind of man reads'Playboy?"
gushed Jessebelle, lighting a slender
cigarette.
Something about this arrangement
puzzled me. I hoped my friend would
get what he wanted, of course, but two
days before he had been living the life
of a Bohemian without a thought of
night clubs and penthouses. Now he
had a job not even remotely related to
his former study of philosophy.
And naturally he was going to
Atlanta, Southern mecca. Lately,
several of my friends had deserted Au­burn
upon graduation to work in that
city or to look for suitable employment.
Friends and relatives told me of
others—scores of college graduates in
the liberal arts as well as "drop­outs"—
who thought Atlanta had solu­tions
to all their problems.
The story is as old as civilization. Un­wanted
young people from town and
country have always flocked to the
cities—Alexandria, Babylon, Rome,
London, Boston, New York.
I recalled my experiences in Atlanta
where I had worked as an "intern"
newspaper reporter last summer. The
gig was great, but the city—well—had
its problems. In addition to a "night
life" and a fair job market, Atlanta, like
any city, was also a conglomerate of
ruthless traffic, high prices, crime in
broad daylight, air pollution, reckless
land development, crowds
and—ironically enough—lonely peo­ple,
usually "singles," who had tired of
urban fare.
No, my friend didn't have a career;
rather, he was temporarily pre-oc-cupied
with sparkling lights and slick
living. For if he fails to move in the cir­cles
of his dreams, he'll return toy the,
country or the small town^pr elsjfj wgl"
low unhappily in concrete for tfl'e r#sjLo£
his life. That is, unless he opts to
wander, becoming a living travelogue
feasting on the fast joys of a transient
existence.
As long as people know what they're
getting into, there's nothing wrong
with a transient lifestyle. Many are try­ing
it out. A recent story over the As­sociated
Press says that thousands are
"stopping out" of school to wander
from place to place in search of
romantic rewards.
Yet, the romantics should be pre­pared
for the knocks in case the re­wards
are scarce. Sure enough, when
things are bad, feelings of insecurity
will set in. And sooner or later, a
chronic transient has to ask himself: is
this what I want?, how much time have
I wasted? will I ever be satisfied with a
place, any place? After a while, the
road signs, billboards, and apartment
buildings look the same everywhere.
I wished my friend well on his "ad­venture"
and drank to his health. By
the time I left his apartment, the spring
day was a perfumed night and my pro­blem
was waiting impatiently for me in
the automobile. It amused me. I re­called
the advice of a travelling musi­cian:
"When it's time to jump into some
other bag, jump. But don't leap before
you've finished with what's happen­ing
now."
. "I have four more months here," I
told my problem, "and then I guess I'll
go to Atlanta."
Police just following rules;
not trying to moke money
Margie Pillat, WEGL disc jockey, is a
student clerk in the Campus Security
Office. There, she has seen "the other
side" to the parking ticket and bicycle
chain controversies. Below, she
bravely socks it to you.
—Editor's note
Campus Police—for some strange
reason, those two words evoke a spec­trum
of reactions ranging from mild in­difference
to violent hatred. Unfor­tunately,
it seems the present trend is
toward the latter of the two extremes.
This sentiment has probably been
caused by the campus parking problem
in general, the cutting of bicycle chains
by police, the impounding of unregis­tered
bicycles, and the (quote) "excess"
of tickets that have been given recent-ly.
Lately, letters
to the editor have
criticized the cam­pus
police for
their actions, but
none have men­tioned
the "other
side" of the story.
To be fair, we need to give the cops
rebuttal time.
You people with D-zone stickers
really have it bad, don't you? There are
never enough places to park, are there?
Well, I hate to break up the delusion,
but there aren't enough parking spaces
for any of the zones. How does one
solve tbe problem? I've read several cri­ticisms
of the ideas proposed to
date—campus parking decks, shuttle
buses, etc. Indeed, Plainsman colum­nist
Jimmy Johnson submitted "walk­ing"
as the answer. Can any of the
critics come up with something better
since nothing has met their approval so
far?
Another item that has gotten under
the skin of many students is the im­pounding
of unregistered bicycles. In
order to register the bikes of delinquent
students, the police have had to in­fringe
on students' rights by cutting
chains on some of the bikes. Believe it
or not, there is a reason behind trying
to get all to register their bikes. By
paying the $1 a year fee, a student puts
his bike on record so tbat if it is ever
stolen, it might be a little easier to find.
The money pays for the extra time de­voted
to solving bicycle thefts. There's
no guarantee that the police will find a
stolen bike, of course, but I don't think
it would be fair to expect one.
Finally, we come to the volume of
complaints—parking tickets. The one
thing that students can never get
straight is how the regulations read.
Here they are in a nutshell: the ONLY
rule that ceases to be effective after 4
p.m. is zone parking. Students can
park anywhere they please after this
hour as long as it is a legal parking
place (one specifically marked off for
the purpose.) Most tickets are given to
students who park in the wrong zone
during the day, for D-zone driving on
campus during the day, and for illegal
parking—i.e., parking on the Haley
Center mall, on the grass, or in a drive­way.
Quite a bit of the money that
students are now paying to the Univer­sity
through tickets could be avoided if
they would just park legally.
My job at the Security Office hap­pened
purely through the generosity of
the work-study program. So I don't
think I can be called a "cop lover" or
"super-straight." I have had the oppor­tunity
to see both sides of the conflict
through what I hope is a fairly un­biased
eye. I know what it is like to get a
ticket, but I also know what it is like to
confront a student storming into the
Margie
Pillat
office, screaming that we're trying to
take his or her last dime just because
one lousy rule was violated.
The campus police are just following
the rules set up by theTraffic and Park­ing
Committee and are not trying to
make a bundle of money. If you have
complaints about the way things are,
take them to the committee. The
members, some of whom are students,
are the ones who recommend adoption
of traffic regulations (President Phil-pott,
of course, has the final say), and
they need your suggestions. For a
change, send your comments that way. •fKAtfC? MAN OF THE CBTUW? WHO »t> HE EVtt TOMT

It's a "classic." It's situated in the
middle of four surrounding apart­ments.
Each has its own little door into
the bathroom, which makes you
Lisby
wonder if it has any walls. It does.
The one above the sink has a color­ful
picture of some poorjschmuck peer­ing
out of a cardboard (?) box.
Cigarette butts periodically litter the
floor—along with other assorted
papers—and mildew grows on the
walls of the shower.
But the bathroom itself is not really
special. It's just an ordinary, run-of-the-
mill bathroom. It's what happens
there that's special.
It was a football weekend and I had a
girl over at the apartment—nothing
unusual about that. I can't remember
what made me decide to step into that
hallowed chamber, but I did. There,
sprawled outon the floor—facedown in
front of the commode—was something
or some body.
As it later turned out I actually knew
the guy, but at the time, I took one look
at him lying on the floor and my first
thought was,-"He's, dead." Fortunate­ly
for him, he wasn't. He was, however,
bombed out of his mind with booze.
A "suite-mate" told me that the guy
was running around drunk looking for
a place to throw up so he let him use our
bathroom—and he didn't even know
the guy. The guy got sick on the floor
and passed out. Fortunately for him,
we run a friendly bathroom.
Another time, I was getting ready for
bed; I think I was brushing my teeth or
something and sometbing fuzzy
started crawling up the inside of my
pants leg. I grabbed at it through my
pants and it bit me. The thing had
teeth.
I grabbed it from the inside and
found that it was a hamster belonging
to a "suite-mate." The hamster had es­caped
from its covered aquarium cage
and was running rampant across tbe
bathroom floor. When I got him back in
the aquarium, the "suite-mate" walked
in accompanied by a rather large white
dog—I think. (I don't see fantastically
without my glasses.) The dog ran
through my room, came back into the
bathroom and lay down.
I get the distinct impression that
we're running a zoo.
One afternoon I had just finished my
11 a.m. class and was coming back to
my apartment to get some lunch. I went
into the bathroom to wash up and saw
the shower was going. "Obviously, one
of my 'suite-mates' getting up late," I
thought. But that wasn't all it was.
Just as I cleared the mist off the
mirror, I heard this giggling sound
coming from the shower. I looked at the
shower reflected in the mirror and a girl
stepped out. She paused about a split
second and immediately stepped back
in. It took me a couple of seconds to
figure out what had happened. I fixed
my lunch and left.
My "suite-mate" had company. And
talk about a friendly bathroom.
Then there was the time I was trying
to comb my hair in front of one of our
two 9 x 1 4 mirrors. The light fixture (a
glass bowl-type thing) suddenly fell, hit
me on top of the head and shattered.
The glass fell - all over the sink and
bathroom floor. For at least three
weeks afterward, you didn't go into the
bathroom without shoes.
That's about all I remember about
that one. I'm still working on it.
One day it was pouring rain while I
was in class and I'd forgotten my um­brella.
When I got back to my place, I
went into the bathroom to grab and
towel and dry off. I had taken my
glasses off, but I know for a fact that
there was a nude girl standing there
brushing her teeth. I was totally unpre­pared
for that one. I stood there.
What do you say? Well, I started off
with, "Hi."
"Is it raining hard outside?" she
asked.
"It's pouring," I said, while making a
futile attempt to look like I was drying
my hair.
• "Well, I'll see you later," I said, leav­ing—
with the towel.
"Bye."
And then there is the ventilation fan
(which sounds like a hoard of B-52
fighter-bombers attacking) which is
only turned on by a "suite-mate" to get
a curious odor out of his room; the
"Milton for SGA President" stickers on
the ceiling; the "NO DUMPING" sign
on top of tbe commode . . .
We sure run a friendly bathroom.

Wild Willie bit into a hot dog the
other day, and do you know what he

One whole end of the hot dog was

Hmmm. . .
That just goes to show, with food

make both ends meat.
page 5 Thurs., April 19, 1973 THE AUBURN PUINSMAN
Friday 13: bad day for unlucky man
When the results of last week's SGA
elections were announced a few
minutes before Friday the 13th set in,
SGA Secretary of Political Affairs
Mike Smith must have thought he was
Jack
James
jinxed. As official referee' of campus
elections, he had taken elaborate pains
all week to insure that all candidates
were treated fairly and that the final
ballot count was free of fraud.
Yet, immediately after the results
were in, presidential contender Chip
Stilwell was "protesting" the returns
and his campaign assistants were
speculating on "something irregular"
in the count. Stilwell had lost by nearly
2000 votes.
For Smith, that was the last straw.
He threw up his hands and paused a
moment to reflect on his job—one that
former SGA President Jerry Batts had
offered him after Rick Connor vacated
the post last quarter. What a hassle it
had been all week!
Before and during election week, it
seemed that every picky detail of "mis­conduct"
reached Smith. One can­didate
changed that WEGL was giving
his opponent special treatment. Smith
had to talk to the station about "equal
time"—a difficult thing to determine to
begin with. A few days earlier, he had
to deal with the Apexx Party con­troversy—
a case where a member of
last year's Apex Party (without the
extra "x" ) had displeased other old
Apex members, some of whom were
supporting the Zenith Party, by using
the base of the old party's name. The
old Apex members had agreed to ditch
the "Apex" label since two different
groups of off-campus senator aspirants
both wanted to run under the Apex ban­ner.
When old Apex affiliate Tony Dees
decided to slip around the agreement
simply by adding an "x" to the old
party name, other old Apex members
complained to Smith. Dees had slipped
by with a technicality, and there
wasn't much that could be done about
it.
Then there were the usual hassles
over misplaced signs and ballots and
the typical political rumours and gos­sip
to refute. Smith lived through these
irritating episodes and others like
them. His main concern was to insure a
fair, efficient system for counting the
votes.
A hint of what was to plague Smith
occurred bright and early—10 a.m.—on
election day. At that time, the first
bunch of ballots was openly collected
by Batts and SGA Vice-President Tom­my
Phillips. They then transferred the
ballots to a locked box. Well, one stu­dent
watched the procedure and
thought Batts and Phillips were "stuf­fing
ballots." He called Dean of Stu­dent
Affairs James Foy to inform him
of the "foul deed" that had taken
place. . .
A few minutes later the 1,684 ballots
were programmed through the com­puter
and put back into a locked box
just in case they would have to be used
again. Sure enough, upon inspection at
6:30 that night, the programmed tape
of this first bunch had not registered
with the computer properly. It would
take 45 minutes to reprogram the 1,684
ballots.
That turned out to be the story of the
night. One time, a mispunched card
threw out a program; another time,
"the people in the computer room left
out the input" (whatever that is) and
' .W that: turned out was a format"
(k^M^whatever that is). Other prob­lems
popped up and therefore the re­sults
were not available until shortly
after 11 p.m.
After each problem surfaced.Smith
called up the presidential candidates
and gave them the details of what had
happened. About the third time they
were called, one was a little "distres­sed,"
according to Smith, and the other
seemed to take it in stride, saving he
didn't mind the delay.
Finally, the returns were reported
and immediately Stilwell called Smith
and said he was going to protest the re­turns.
Ironically, this candidate had
told Smith earlier that "he under­stood"
the delays. Now he said "the
time delays caused the elections to lose
any credibility that they ever had."
If anything, the returns had credibil­ity.
Dean of Student Affairs James
Foy, who observed the counting pro­cedure,
said the method made for the
fairest election he had seen at Auburn.
He pointed out a number of "safe­guards"
that this system instituted
into vote counting. Because student
numbers were included on each ballot,
the computer's memory bank could dis­card
the votes of those who tried to vote
for candidates out of their living dis­tricts
or schools. Because each ballot
has a unique number, there was no
overlapping from polling place to poll­ing
place. Furthermore, persons from
each presidential camp were present in
the computer room when the ballots
were being counted. There was virtual­ly
no way a "scandal" couldhave taken
place in the computer room without
someone from either camp knowing
about it.
Smith had wanted it that way.
Earlier in the week he had explained to
each presidential candidate the vote
counting system. Both were satisfied at
that time.
But the static was not over. Aftei he
returns came in, Ed Rudd, campaign
aide to Stilwell, walked into the com­puter
center and demanded that Smith
and his assistants give him copies of
the computer programs. Though it was
against the computer center's policy,
Rudd was granted special permission
to look at them. At one point he turned
to Batts, who was present in the room,
and said, "Congratulations, Jerry, if it
was fair."
By now, most of the static has blown
over. Smith has survived the charges of
"unfair" although they hurt him deep­ly.
One might wonder why he put up
with all the nonsense—and especially
the insults to his integrity.
I guess he's one of those rare,
dedicated individuals who wanted to
serve Auburn in some capacity. We
were lucky to have him around.
Heep cancellation
could be local fault,
students suggesting
Editor, The Plainsman:
After all the elaborate advertising
posted by the Auburn Entertainment
committee (up to a month in advance)
of the once upcoming Uriah Heep
concert, I, along with many other
students, am rather distressed over
their cancellation. At first, I did find it
rather hard to believe that such a re­nown
group, as Uriah Heep, would
appear at Auburn.
Any one can understand that an ill­ness
could occur, even to the lead voca­list
of a major group. One thing still
puzzles me though, how Uriah Heep
cannot appear at Auburn on April 19,
and how they are able to perform on
April 21, in a 12-hour concert in Char­lotte,
North Carolina.
Let's hear it, once again, for the en­tertainment
committee!!

Stilwell explains
election protest,
criticizes Phillips
Editor, The Plainsman:
Some people have commented that
my sportsmanship is lacking due to my
protesting of the recent SGA elections.
If this was true, I would continue to
protest until no longer possible. This is
not the case. My reasons for protest and
for requiring a recount are twofold:
first, due to the length of time between
predicted election returns and the 11:05
results as well as numerous false
alarms. I asked for the recount to insure
or, at least, to increase the credibility of
the returns. Secondly, I asked for a re­count
to assure the next set of candi­dates
that the system was already tried
and true. I must admit that I still am
not thoroughly satisfied with the ballot
counting procedure and the computer
program.
I would like to commend the Election
Board for its objectivity during the
whole campaign with one exception.

Torturing prisoners of war
practiced by America also
Letters
to the editor
Editor, The Plainsman:
In recent weeks, Americans have
become very upset with the treatment
of the Americans who were prisoners of
the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong.
They have been appalled at the tales of
beatings, of starvation and of death
these men have brought home.
Americans have seemed to have for­gotten
what we have been seeing for
the past nine years. In the name of
democracy, infants, children, old men
and women have been killed. Men cap­tured
by American troops have been
tortured and killed during interroga­tion.
The prisoners of the South Viet­namese
were fed substandard food and
were kept for months in holes in the
ground known as "tiger cages." Sus­pected
communists who had not had a
trial were executed in the streets.
I ask the Auburn students how much
they value life? The insanities of the
war were committed by North Vietna­mese,
the Viet Cong, the South Vietna­mese
and the Americans. Let us not say
that the lives of human beings from one
of these groups is more sacred than any
of the others.

coming and, in my opinion, degraded
the office of Vice-President of the SGA.
Mr. Phillips' campaigning and solici­ting
votes seemed to me unethical,
vulgar, coarse, gross. The other
members kept their distance from the
campaigns. Phillips' questionable be­havior
hopefully will not leave the new
Vice-President in a disadvantageous
position in the future.
May I, at this time, thank all my
friends and supporters. Maybe next
year.

"How so you rate the SGA?
Do you believe that final
exams serve a useful purpose
in the education process? Do
you read The Plainsman? Do
you like the way cheerlead­ers

are from the student
opinion survey taken recent­ly.

showed over 95 per cent
of the students would favor a
system of optional finals for
students who are satisfied
with their course grades.
More than 60 per cent said
World History should not be
required; however, 66 per cent
felt Freshman English
should be required. Seventy
four per cent did not believe
final exams serve a usef

A new policy for handling
staff complaints has been ap­proved
by Pres. Harry M.
Philpott and was put into ef­fect

A new grievance system is
one of several points being re­quested
by the Laborer's
International Union (LIU) in
its unofficial negotiations
with the University in past
weeks, according to Herbert
White, director of University
Relations. However, White
said, the new grievance
policy was "not a response to
LIU requests but an indepen­dent
university project."
Copies of the new pro­cedure
are to be made avail­able
to all staff employes
within the next few weeks ac­cording
to a memorandum to

heads from Ben T. Lart-ham,
vice-president for ad­ministration.
Included with the
memorandum was a copy of
the new grievance procedure
which follows:
Grievance Definition: A
grievance is an allegation by
an employe that there has
been a violation, misinter­pretation,
misapplication,
discriminatory application
or unreasonable application
of a University policy, pro­cedure,
rule, or regulation
regarding the employe's em­ployment
conditions.
It is the policy of the Uni­versity
that employes be as­sured
that they have a right
to file what they feel to be
legitimate grievances and to
follow the formal procedure
through the appeal process, if
necessary, without fear of
censure or reprisal.
When an employee has a
question, complaint, or any
difficulty in his job or work­ing'
relationship, he or she
should immediately:
(a) Discuss the problem
with his or her immediate
supervisor or, if this is not
possible discuss it with an ad­visor
in the Personnel Office.
If a mutually satisfactory ad­justment
is not reached with­in
three working days the em­ploye
may:
(b) Submit a formal grie­vance
in writing to the em­ploye's
immediate super­visor.
The employe may re­quest
a regular full-time em­ploye
or any other individual
of his choosing to assist him
in the preparation and
presentation of his grie­vance
at this or any higher
appeals levels.
The written grievance
must be submitted no later
than six working days fol­lowing
the oral discussion
with the supervisor. It must
state all of the pertinent facts
on which it is based, where

Shell—Toomer Parkway
freed of gravel trucks
By Dale Crail
Plainsman Staff Writer
Construction on the resur­facing
and widening of a por­tion
of Lee County Road 26
has been completed, allow­ing
trucks of the Southern
Stone Co. to use the road in­stead
of the Shell-Toomer
Parkway leading to Chew-acla
State Park as they had
previously been doing.
The section of road,
between the quarry access
road and Highway 29, was re­built
through an agreement
reached by state, county, and
Southern Stone Co. officials
following an investigation by
State Attorney General Bill
Baxley's office.
Stone for the construction
work was supplied by the
quarry company, and the
State Highway Department
furnished equipment, labor,
and other materials. Accord­ing
to State Representative
Pete Turnham, Lee County
officials agreed to improve
the access road leading from
the quarry to Road 26.
Southern Stone Co. also
had agreed to keep their
trucks off Shell-Toomer Park­way
and to begin using Road
26 as soon as the resurfacing
and widening was com­pleted.
The action by the attorney
general's office was taken
after Southern Stone Co., a
division of Southern Indus­tries,
Inc., was accused last
fall by the Auburn chapter of
the Alabama Conservancy of
illegally using a state park
road for private profit. The
company was using the park-was
for hauling stone from
the quarry located near
Chewacla Park to Highway
29.
Ruben McCullers, 4BI,
chairman of the Chewacla
Park Committee of the Au­burn
chapter of the Conser­vancy,
said the chapter was
satisfied to "get what we
got." McCullers added that
the chapter had closed the
case against the stone com­pany
unless violations of the
agreement occurred.
Turnham said legal action
could be taken against the
company if their trucks used
Shell-Toomer Parkway after
construction on road 26 was
completed.

Cain sees ecosystem needs
Environmental problems
must be approached with
multipurpose rather than in­dividual
thinking if the
human ecosystem is to be
maintained, a noted ecolo-gist
told students during a
discussion session this week.
Dr. Stanley A. Cain, chair­man
of College VIII, Univer­sity
of California at Santa
Cruz, visited Auburn as the
W. Kelly Mosley Environ­mental
Lecturer.
Cain described the human
ecosystem as man's work and
application of capital
through institutions to uti­lize
the natural resources of
the land in obtaining goods
and services.
"We are now learning that
from this, we're getting dis­services
such as air and'
water pollution and contami­nated
foods," Cain stated.
To maintain the human
ecosystem, goods and ser­vices
must flow back to keep
the labor going, Cain pointed
out. "If we keep the system
going, we can't contaminate
the product."
The key lies in education,
but not the kind that pro-^
duces specialists of limited
vision, Cain suggests. "The
study of the environment is
so hard. It can't be a depart­ment,
it must be interdepart-mentalized
structurally. The
faculty must have a means of
not doing a disservice to the
student," he said.
"When education is in com­partments,
it creates all
kinds of problems. We pass
on evils we produce to some­one
else," he added.
A major difficulty, accor­ding
to Cain, lies in the fact
that we are raised to think
about simple single goals. "A
mill, for instance, thinks only
about it's operation. But so
does everybody else, includ­ing
the government."
Cain expressed personal
doubts that the Congress
knew what it was doing when
it enacted laws^leading to the
creation of the Environmen­tal
Protection Agency. "What
they asked people to do,
people are not prepared to do
by knowledge and skill."

ERA to be discussed Monday
The "real and symbolic sig­nificance"
of the Equal
Rights Amendment will be
the topic for discussion
Monday in Haley 2370 at 8
p.m.
Dr. Ellen Kimmel, director
of University Studies, Uni­versity
of South Florida,
Tampa, will speak, spon­sored
by Associated Women
Students and Mortar Board.
It is hoped the timely
subject will be of as much in-.
terest to men as it is to
women, AWS member
Sherryl Chaney said. "There
are many misunderstand­ings
involved, not only in in­terpreting
the amendment
but interpreting our status as
women. We owe it to our­selves,
as individuals, to be
informed of facts and issues."
Ms. Kimmel, mother of four
daughters, and an associate
professor of educational psy­chology,
is a member of the
Status of Women Commis­sion.
She recently chaired the
Commission on the Status of
Women for the Southeastern
Psychological Association,
and is an active speaker in
the southeast on the status of
women in the universities.
Ms. Kimmel received the
B.A. in psychology from the
University of Tennessee. She
was awarded the M.A. and
Ph.D. in experimental psy­chology
from the University
of Florida at Gainsville.
Her research involves the

By Carl Poteat
Plainsman Copy Editor
It was a calm, peaceful night, and
business was slow at the Zippy Mart on
the corner of North College St. and
Bragg Ave. The lone night employe,
Mark Howard, 2PG, had just rung up a
purchase when he turned and faced a
nickel-plated, 38-caliber pistol leveled
at his belly-button. Conjecturing the
customer wanted more than just a 31
cent can of pineapples.Howard guessed,
"This is a stickup, right?"
Howard is one of a few Auburn stu­dents
who, to help pay their way
through college, hold part-time jobs
operating quick-service food stores at
night and on weekends. These jobs, as
in Howard's case, can prove to be
hazardous, not necessarily because
they involve handling of money and
merchandise, but because the employe
works alone and at late hours when
hardly anyone is around. These condi­tions
have proven to attract potential
hold-up men. But do these student
storekeepers, who would be at the ques­tionable
mercy of a gun-toting robber,
really consider what they are doing
dangerous?
Howard admits that he does con­sider
it dangerous after being held up at
gunpoint that night, March 28. "It all
happened so very fast that you really
didn't have time to think," said
Howard.
"I was at the counter copying some
notes for a class when a male black
came in and went back to the canned
goods. He had been in several times
before, and I waved at him when he
walked in the door. It was about 8:30 at
night and I was the only one in the
store."
Howard went on to say that he didn't
notice anything unusual about the
man and that he must have waited
among the canned goods for five
minutes before making his move. "He
put a can of pineppple on top of my
notes and was very clam. I turned to
ring up the 31-cent purchase on the re­gister,
and when I turned back around I
was staring at a nickel-plated, 38-cali­ber
pistol.
"I said 'this is a stickup, right?' and
he became aggravated and told me to
empty the register. I said I guess you
want this in a bag, and he became real
angry. He grabbed the money, counted
it, about $70 , and walked calmly out
the door leaving the pineapples."
Howard revealed that since the inci­dent
happened so fast, he was not very
scared, but now realizing that he might
have been killed, Howard admits that
he does not know how he "kept his
cool."
Rick Hollingsworth, 4BA, a night
manager of Mr. Quick on the corner of
Dean Road and West Glenn Avenue,
has not been robbed since he has been
working at the store. The Mr. Quick,
however, was the scene of a murder last
fall in which the night manager was
fatally shot while attempting to pre­vent
two robbers from leaving the
store. ib i
Hollingsworth believes that hSS^JBft"
not a risk and that he is in no danger as
long as he cooperates with a robber.
"Basically, I'm a trusting soul and do
not work in fear of being robbed or hurt
in a robbery. However, I'm aware it
could happen," said Hollingsworth.
David Marcrum, 3SY, is the night
manager from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. at the
Zippy Mart on Thach Avenue.
Marcrum, a Vietnam veteran, ad­mitted
that he does get uneasy during
the early hours when he worics. He also
considers it a risk but claims it's a job,
and he needed the money. If ever ap­proached
by a robber, Marcrum said he
would cooperate instead of risking life
or limb.
The incidence of robberies is greater
in stores which are located away from
busy traffic areas, said Larry Wedge-worth,
manager of the Zippy Mart
where Howard was robbed and a
former Auburn student.
Hollingsworth agreed with Wedge-worth
saying his store wouldn't be as
likely to be robbed being located on
Dean Road which has more traffic than
Wedgeworth's store.
All four Zippy Marts in Auburn are
supposedly under the protection of a
company-hired protective agency as
well as the Auburn City Police. On the
front door of all the stores is a sign
which states the name of the agency
and also reveals that the store has a
two-compartment safe which the em­ploye
does not have a key to. All stores
are under a company rule which re­quires
the employe to never have over a
certain amount in the register at any
one time.
Wedgeworth said even though the
sign says they have an agency protec­ting
them, he has never seen any of the
agents. However, he figures that they
may come in the store in plain clothes
and never reveal their identity.
The Mr. Quick stores have several
burglary preventive devices and also
^require a certain amount in the regis­ter
to never be exceeded.
Even though most of the quick-ser­vice
food store managers interviewed
believed they had adequate precau­tions
against theft, they all agreed that
a robbery was not impossible. Most
managers, realizing the theft possibi­lity,
agreed that they put it out of their
minds when they working.
However, Howard summer up his
feelings on the matter after being
threatened at gunpoint by the robber:
"Ever since the robbery, I have been
jumpy when in charge of the store at
night; I hear footsteps when no one be­sides
me is in the store. I am looking for
another job!"
Crisis Center handles any type problem
By J e n n i e Poole
Plainsman Staff Writer
Got a problem? Lonely?
Dating troubles? Worried
about grades? Can't find a
place to live? Need advice
about birth control, fi­nances,
marriage or drugs?
These and similar
problems are handled every
day by the Lee County Crisis
Center.
The Center, which is a tele­phone
counseling and refer­ral
service opeiated.byuioIun.-~
teers, will celebrate its second
anniversary Monday.
Glenn Dahlen, Crisis
Center publicity chairman,
said the Center operates from
2 p.m. to 2 a.m. seven days a
week and handles about 25
calls each day.
Crisis Center volunteers re­ceive
intensive training in
crisis intervention tech­niques
and the use of profes­sional
resources available in
the Auburn vicinity.
"The Crisis Center deals
with problems such as po­tential
suicide, drugs, loneli­ness,
depression, sexual and
social tensions, alcoholism,
pregnancy, parent-child
problems, and marital
problems."
The majority of calls are
from people who need factual
information or who want
someone to discuss their per­sonal
problems with. Dahleo.
said. *<P
"Often," Dahlen said , "a
caller will say he is lonely
and after a few minutes of
conversation he will get
down to what the problem
really is."
"The techniques used by
Crisis Center volunteers are
very simple," Dahlen said. |
"The volunteer's main
function is that of a sym­pathetic
ear. He listens, helps
the caller identify his
problem and then suggests
and explores possible "solu­tions."
Dahlen emphasized that
volunteers never give advice.
When medical or psychologi­cal
advice is needed, the
center has access to more
than 100 references includ­ing
doctors and clergymen.
"We're there, and we care"
is the theme of the Crisis
Center. "Any problem that is
"important to'"a"callerwls ifri-*
portant to Crisis Center
workers," Dahlen said. "All
calls received by the Center
are kept in strictest confi­dence.
The Center does not
ask for any identifying infor­mation.
The first and only
concern is the welfare of the
caller and how he can best be
helped with his 'crisis'."
Dahlen said that less than
two per cent of the Center's
calls deal with serious
problems such as drug addic­tion
or potential suicide.
"Many students call about
school difficulties or about
dating problems," he said.
"Freshmen who are lonely
and want to meet people are
frequent callers. The volun­teer
tries to discover the
caller's interests and then
'suggests related campus or-'
ganizations he might join."
The Center is funded
through the Auburn Univer­sity
All-Campus Fund Drive
and other student donations,
the Auburn United Fund, pri­vate
donations and memo­rial
contributions.

Snakes make great pets, according to boa owner
By David Barrett
Plainsman Staff Writer
"Snakes are great pets, for
students," according to
David Ford, 2PN, who recentr
ly bought an 11 foot Boa Con­strictor.
"There's no odor or
mess and I only have to feed
her once every three weeks,"
he said.
Ford said most people "are
really scared when they first
see her until they realize she's
harmless.'' Other tenants in
Ford's apartment complex re­called
when Ford walked
around the yard with the rep­tile
wrapped around his neck.
"I was scared to death for a
while, but it didn't do any­thing
so I recovered my facul­ties."
Others didn't recover so
readily and Ford might be
looking for a new home for
himself and his pet.
""Some ' people com­plained
to the apartment
owners, and now I'm either
going to have to move or get
rid of her," Ford said. "If they
just knew how harmless she
was they wouldn't com­plain."
The boa was enclosed in a
glass cage with a door on the
side. "I've left the door open
for 12 hours before, and she
wouldn't even come out. I
really have to fight to get her
out," Ford claimed. He grab­bed
the snake's neck and tug­ged
while the 40-pound snake
effortlessly held to a log in
the cage and didn't budge.
Three scholarships awarded
to study abroad this summer
A Fulbright grant, a Schil­ler
Scholarship and an invi­tation
to join with a group of
students to study Russian at
Leningrad will take three
students abroad to continue
their studies in foreign lan­guages.
Kim Mallett of .Mont-,
Montgomery, is the only
student in the nation se­lected
by Schiller College in
Boenningheim, Germany, to
study there this summer.
Selection is made from both
high j school ^.seniors and
college students.

AU STUDENTS WIN LANGUAGE AWARDS
. . . (L-R) Mallet, Berrey and Harrison
gomerv is the first student of
foreign languages and the
first campus-wide in several
years at Auburn to receive
the Fulbright. She will study
in Germany at a university to
be designated by the Ful­bright
Committee, begin­ning
in October.
Jo Ann Berrey, also of
mingham was selected
through Georgetown Uni­versity
to participate in an
eight-week study of the
Russian Language in Russia
beginning in June.
Ms.. Mallett is a senior
majoring in German. She is
an honor student and will
, graduate in August.
The Fulbright awards are
made possible by the Ful-bright-
Hays Act passed by
Congress shortly after World
War II to promote the inter­national
exchange of stu­dents
and scholars. Prelimi­nary
screening of applicants
is by the Committee on Inter­national
Exchange of
Persons in Washington, D.C.,
and host countries make the
final acceptances of appli­cants.
Last summer, Ms. Mallett
attended a Goethe Institute
near Munich in southern Ger­many
for eight weeks of
study. She hopes to complete
her master's and to teach at
the college level.
Ms. Berrey was selected for
the Schiller Scholarship
through application to the
National Federation of
Students of German.
Ms. Berrey, also an honor
student, is president of the
Alabama Federation of
Students of German and is
also president of the Student
National Education Asso­ciation.
Her dual option of.
study at Auburn will lead to
the B.A. in foreign lan­guages
and a teaching certi­ficate.
She hopes to teach at
the high school level.
"I'm still cautious, but I'm
not afraid anymore."
Kent Williams, manager of
Neptune's Corner Pet Shop
said, "Sometimes old ladies
will see them in the store,
jump back and run out the
door. But Boas are usually
good natured unless they're
sick."
Once every three weeks
Ford puts a live rat, rabbit or
other rodent in his boa's cage.
"She won't eat anything,
that's already dead. Some­times
she'll even let a rat
stand on her and she won't do
anything. Then when the
animal isn't looking she'll at­tack
it," Ford said.
"The snake will first strike
the animal and grab it with
his mouth and then wrap his
body around it," Williams
said. "It gets tighter and
tighter until the animal can't
breathe and dies," he ex­plained.
Besides food, "snakes real­ly
only need warmth, water
and things to climb on," Wil­liams
said. "They need to be
kept out of a draft because
sometimes they catch
pneumonia. Other times they
get 'mouth rot' when their
teeth fall out," he continued.

and Renee Lorendo of Au­burn,
wife of offensive tackle
and captain Mac Lorendo.
Two of the wives are stu­dents
as well as wives and
mothers. Peggy Beverly, a ju­nior
in family and child de­velopment,
hurries home
each day to a 17-month old
son, David Edward III. Peg­gy
and David refer to him as
a "third generation Tiger" al­though
he is a -bit young to
follow in the footsteps of his
father and grandfather as a
student.
Mary Jean Satfispree, wile
of defensive end Danny
Sanspree, is blessed with
Christopher Eugene and
Michael Clark, twin sons.
They were no surprise. Doc­tors
had alerted them. But
born prematurely, they re­quired
special care before
they came home. And does
Danny help? "Yes, he does,"
says Mary Jean. "I'm al­ways
messing up, and he's
cleaning up."
Mary Jean is a junior in
speech pathology, but has no
professional plans at the mo­ment.
"I plan to take care of
my babies," she says.
Janie Sue, a graduate of
Patricia Stevens Career Col­lege,
holds the title as Mrs.
Auburn, selected last August
from among 43 student wives
who either work or attend
school.
There are times, they agree,
when it is very exciting to be
married to a football placer.
The wives travel to the out-of­-
town games and develop a
sense of unity.
The highlight during the
past season was the Gator
Bowl. In addition to the flight
down, there were the awards
banquet and dog races. Then
they rode up and down the St.
Eagle cage's
siie changed
The site for the proposed
eagle cage to be built to house
War Eagle IV has been
changed, according to Alpha
Phi Omega Service Frater­nity
which is responsible for
the bird.
Originally the cage was to
be built at the intersection of
Roosevelt Drive and Duncan
Drive. The new cage is to be
located, now, between Keller
Hall and Duncan Drive. The
new cage will encompass se­veral
trees which are adja­cent
to the parking lot there.
Alpha Phi Omega decided
to make the move after it was
suggested by visiting eagle
authority Jim Fowler; he sug­gested
the bird would have a
more natural habitat in the
new location.

In retrospect, the Tiger
%wives have a lot of pleasant
mempries of the past season,
what life at home was like,
and the fun they had at out of
town games.
They can discuss what it's
like to be married to a foot­ball
player. "You don't have
weekends free," quips «one
wife. "When he comes home
after a long afternoon on the
practice field, football is just
about the least talked-about
subject," recalls another.
The players have a lot
of other hobbies. Rusty Deen
is taking a correspondence
course in taxidermy, and
says his wife, Sallie, "Every
time I open the freezer there's
this fish eye looking at me."
Gail Ward has a similar
problem. Her husband, Har­ry,
stores birds in her freezer.
"He uses the feathers from
the birds to train his bird
dogs for hunting," she ex­plained.
Or they can talk about their
work or studies. Sallie Deen
works at Drake Student
Health Center, Gail Ward is
secretary to the revenue of­ficer
for the City of Auburn,
Janie Sue Calleja is em­ployed
by the campus Photo­graphic
Services, Gail Car­penter
works for a local
pharmacy, and Lillian
Rogers at a supermarket.
Renee Lorendo is teaching
Spanish while working for
her master's degree. Jackie
Sivley is a sophomore in
home management, Nita

MOTHER AND CHILD TAKE A 'VIEW FROM THE TOP'
. . . Pointing out different buildings on Auburn's campus
—R. C. Dennis
Top of Haley offers view, solitude

By J a c k James
Assistant Features Editor
A tourist in New York City who wants to see the city from
above without taking to the air would probably visit the top
of the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty. But
where does that same tourist, arriving in Auburn, Alabama,
go for a similar view of the Auburn University campus?
The top of Haley Center is the answer that most Auburn
people would give, and most students probably know how to
get there. However, someone going to the top level for the
first time might not ever make it if he was narrow-minded
enough to insist on riding the elevator to the tenth floor, sim­ply
because the elevator goes only to the ninth.
After getting off the elevator on the ninth floor there are 16
steps to climb before reaching the highest floor level in the
city of Auburn, 120 feet above the ground.
On top there are two rooms with glass walls; one is used for
studying purposes during the day until 9 p.m., and the other,
commonly referred to as the Eagle's Nest, is used for a meet­ing
site by various student and civic organizations. Sur­rounding
this enclosed part is an open walkway that offers a
view of the campus, or a place to do whatever else there is to
do on an open structure 120 feet above the ground.
Groups such as Head Start, Cub Scouts and children from
the Day Care Center frequently take field trips to the top of
Award winning
teacher to talk
on Madison
Dr. Harold W. Chase, pro­fessor
of political science at
the University of Minnesota,
will lecture on Friday, April
27, on "The Madisonian
Model: Is It Still Viable."
The lecture will be in Haley
2370 at 11 a.m. and the public
is invited. The event is desig­nated
for credit for students
enrolled in Forum.
Chase is the author, co­author
or co-editor of seven
books and numerous articles
in the field of public and
especially constitutional law.
His latest work, which came
out in 1972, is entitled "Fed­eral
Judges: The Appointing
Process."
Chase is the research
project director for the project
on federal judges of the
Brookings Institute, politi­cal
science advisery editor to
Charles Scribner's Sons, and
has been a visiting lecturer at
Columbia University, the
University of Chicago, Hue'
University in the Republic of
Vietnam, and the National
War College.
His ability as a platform
performer is evidenced by the
fact that he won the first
annual Distinguished Teach­ing
Award of the University
of Minnesota.
LILIES Of THE
FIELD WE ARE HOT.
Remember the lilies of the bible?
They toiled not. Neither did they
spin. As Dominican Sisters of the
Sick Poor we toil for the young
as well as the old, for the acute
as well as the chronically ill and
we care not for their race or re­ligion
for all are of the kingdom
of God. Our feet carry us along
busy streets, up and down tene­ment
stairs, in and out of homes
where illness, ignorance, discour­agement
and despair are some­times
permanent guests. Nursing,
counseling, helping to keep fam­ilies
together in their homes as
one loving unit. The Dominican
Sisters of the Sick Poor achiev­ing
the impossible every day of
the year.

Haley Center to look off the sides and see what they can see.
Those who are just barely tall enough to see over the wall
stand on their tiptoes and stick their heads through the rail­ing
to get a peek at what's below. Many times the short ones
will get a generous lift from their taller, stronger friends and
then they*can see the world, or at least they can see Auburn
University.
Looking to the southwest one can gaze down on Cliff Hare
Stadium and by using, a little imagination can see it packed
to capacity crowd and two teams clashing head-on near the
south end zone. But watching "the real thing" take place in
Cliff Hare would require an even bigger imagination, be­cause
the south end zone is practically all you can see.
Beyond the stadium and the Coliseum one can see the
barns, silos and cow pastures which are key ingredients in
Auburn jokes- "So that's the place where those Alabama peo­ple
get all their jokes about Auburn," commented one Bir­mingham
visitor.
On just about any spring afternoon up until the A-Day
game one can make a pretty good guess that the group of lit­tle
white dots scrambling about in the field behind the Col­iseum
is the pride of Auburn, the football team, going
through the annual ritual of spring practice.
Almost directly below is a center of attraction for people
who like to look down on other people, literally. During the
morning hours and in the early afternoon Auburn students
can be seen congregating and socializing on the Haley Cen­ter
concourse. Some are leaning on walls "shooting the bull,"
some are laying in the grass playing with dogs and others
are walking to class seemingly unaware of overhead sur-veilance.
Still others are darting through the masses skillful­ly
on their ten speed bicycles.
Not everybody goes up to the top of Haley Center to get a
good view of what's below; some go out on the deck, stare out
at the horizon and just think. "It's a good place to think,"
said Dennis Heald, 2PV. "It's different from a room because
there you are closed in; up here it's easier for me to think
about things."
"You're isolated here more than at any other place on cam­pus,"
said Henry (Bumpy) Barwood, 4GL. He explained that
he and his girlfriend used to come up every other day, and
that on windy days they would throw airplanes and frisbees
off the top "just to see how far they would go." Hisgirlfriend
Lynda Powers? 3SED, has a fondness for mountains and
said, "I like high places and if there was a place higher than
this in Auburn, I'd go there."
"I only go up when there are no clouds in the sky. It's real­ly
a beautiful sight to see the red sun as it fades below the Col­iseum
and the white, glistening moon as it rises above Sam-ford
Tower," said Jim Dailey, 4GJM.
