Sen. Sparkman co-sponsoring legislation
opposing cutback affecting All funding
By Greg Lisby
Assistant News Editor
Reacting to the Nixon administra­tion's
impoundment and proposed bud­get
cuts for next year which could cost
Auburn University more than $3.3 mil­lion,
Alabama Sen. John Sparkman
told The Plainsman Wednesday that
Auburn's financial situation would
hopefully be alleviated by Congres­sional
action.
Sparkman said he is co-sponsoring a
bill which would restrict executive
power to impound funds appropriated
by Congress. He said he is also a
plaintiff in a lawsuit, which originated
in Missouri, questioning the Pres­ident's
impounding right.
Sparkman said he can't guess where
Auburn will be able to get other fund­ing
if the University loses the pro­grams
the Nixon administration has
reduced or eliminated by impound­ment
or budget cuts.
"Except in an emergency, the Pres­ident
should not have the authority to
impound funds appropriated by the
Congress," Sparkman asserted.
Sparkman noted that the question of
impoundment will ultimately be
decided in the courts, but that Con­gress
is hoping to require the President
to file notice as to what funds he plans
to impound and why, subject to Con­gressional
approval.
The impounded funds include com­pensation
for money already spent
here on campus.

Pizza at home —R.C. Dennis
There's no need to get all "dolled
up" to go out and get a pizza any
more, as J a n Chaffin, 2 HEQ,
shows. Two new pizza shops have
opened in Auburn recently and
both (here's the magic word)
"deliver." Don't go to them; let
them come to you, they say. The
two new establishments both re­port
that business is good.
Roth new AWS president;
other races set Tuesday
By Mary Going
Plainsman Staff Writer
Although the contested positions of
secretary, treasurer vice-president of
the Auburn Associated Women Stu­dents
will be decided Tuesday, Minna
Roth, 3EED, is the new AWS presi­dent.
Ms. Roth, who is running unop
posed, will succeed Mary Anne Hall,
4GJM.
All undergraduate women students
will be voting on the three contested of-'
fices and the acceptance of an AWS
constitutional revision in the elections
next week.
Debbie Cunningham, 2HEQ, and
Cindy Reich, 2PGP, are the two candi­dates
for AWS vice-president. The
office of secretary has only one candi­date,
Pat Heath, 2FCD.
Running for Treasurer are Jill
Jordan, 3VED, Katherine Latvala,
2MH, Me41e Drennen, 2HPR, and
Donna McCauley, 1GMH. Candidates
for Social Chairman are Gladys
Stephens, 1HPR, and Linda Morris,
1GFL. Unopposed for town-girl repre­sentative
is Ruth Stevenson, 2MU, and
unopposed for Intercollegiate Asso­ciated
Women Students secretary is
Cheryl Chaney, 2CT.
Also on the ballot will be a question
regarding the adopting of a revised
constitution, which would, according
to AWS President Mary Anne Hall, pro­vide
more fully for the increasing
number of off-campus AWS members.
The vote necessary for its passage is
two-thirds of the number of students
who voted in the last AWS election.
Election hours will be from 8 a.m.
until 5 p.m. Women residing in the
south dorms can vote at the south ad-ministrationbuilding;
coeds living in
the dorms of the quadrangle can cast
their ballots at the women's dining
hall; residents of Alumni Hall, Auburn
Hall, Noble Hall, commuters and off-campus
residents may vote in Haley
Center. No student I.D.'s are neces­sary.
According to election chairman
Vicki Walker, 4MPG, campaigning will
consist of posters, door-to-door can­vassing,
discussions at sorority fellow­ship
meetings, but will not include the
distribution of any literature other
than an AWS-sponsored pamphlet
which will provide campaign space for
each candidate.
The campaign will culminate at 7
p.m. Monday in Haley Center 2370,
where a convocation of all AWS mem­bers
will be held; at this meeting, each
candidate will speak for approximate­ly
three minutes.

A measure changing the voting date
in Auburn from August to a time when
more students and faculty are in the
city, would apparently meet opposi­tion
before such a bill could be pre­sented
to the state legislature. Yet the
Student Senate favors, the change of
voting dates in city ejections to a time
more convenient to students.
"To move the voting date would
mean changing state law," said Mayor
James Haygood.
In order to change the present elec
tion laws for Auburn the City Council
would first have to approve the change
in date then make their recommenda­tion
to the state legislature, he said.
City Manager D. Kent Leichliter said
it would be possible for the legislature
to make an approval for Auburn to
change the voting date by providing
that cities which fit a description in size
of city and county common only to Au­burn
could hold elections at another
specified time. Leichliter said he felt
that if the matter was fully considered
and presented to the legislature with
the strong recommendation from the
Auburn City Council, it would seem
quite possible for the voting date in Au­burn
to be changed.
By changing the present voting date
students and faculty who may be away
from the city during August would be
able to vote.
Of the 28,300 voters registered in Lee
County, 5,500 are students. Student
Government Association President
Jerry Batts said changing the voting
date would be "promoting active
citizenship. I don't know why anyone
should be opposed to that." He believes
the reason more hasn't been done in the
way of changing the date is because
"we just haven't pursued it."
However, Haygood says, "I'm not too
sure I agree with the concept of chang­ing
the voting date for the convenience
of a part of the population. I realize," he
said, "Iniaynot be viewing this objec­tively,
but to me, citizenship is a 12
month proposition."
Haygood explained that elections are
held in August in order to allow enough
time for a run-off in September before
officials take office the first Monday in
October.
Councilman Raymond Askew, said
he would not be opposed to the chance if
in practicality it could be done. Askew
realizes, however, to move the voting
date to allow the students to vote would
mean only one week would be left for a
run-off election between September
and the first Monday in October for in­stallation.
To move the election date back to the
previous April or May would present
Coliseum too hot
the possibility of lame duck officials in
office.
"That is what happened to us with
the last Council. The new Council was
elected but not active.and the old Coun­cil
going out was not active, either,"
said Askew.
Askew commented that he did not
want to pose a negative attitude and if
it were possible to get the date when the
new officials take office changed, he
would offer support.
Leichliter said it would be possible to
change the installation date of elected
officials through another act of the
state legislature, "but," he said, "that
would also mean changing the fiscal
year which now begins in October
when the new officials take office."
John Watkins of the Alabama
League of Municipalities said it is pos­sible
for the date of elections and date
of installation to be changed, but, it
would be almost impossible for the leg­islature
to create a description which
would apply only to Auburn, for there
are several cities throughout the state
which fit Auburn's description.
ham, members of Alabama's congres­sional
delegation have been advised
that funds appropriated for formula-based
programs could not legally be im­pounded
by executive order because of
past rulings by federal legal advisers.
Funds for Auburn were appro­priated
by Congress in October, but
have since been impounded by the
Nixon administration.
To recover from the proposed federal
fund cutback and executive impound­ment
of allocated funds, Auburn could
resort to either an increase in student
fees or an amendment to increase the
biennial budget request from the state
legislature.
Since student fees have already been
increased, effective June, 1973, and
since hearings have already been held
on Auburn's budget request with the
Alabama Commission on Higher Edit
cation (ACHE), Lanham said, neither
alternative is practical at this time.
"It may be too late for the University
to seek state support or to find any
other sources of funding," Lanham
said.
Auburn's budget request for the next
biennium ending Sept. 30, 1975,
was submitted to the State Budget Of­ficer
and the ACHE on Dec. 29, 1972.
The budget was developed without-any
knowledge of the proposed Nixon
cutback for the next year, Lanham re­marked.
• :
A new Basic Opportunity Grants pro­gram
will be available to replace the
Educational Opportunity Grants
(EOG) and National Direct Student
Loans (NDSL) but requires 50-50
matching with funds which the Uni­versity
does not have, Lanham said.
Currently the EOG and NDSL provide
$810,000 in student aid at Auburn.
The most serious effects of the reduc­tions
for next year will be in Auburn's
instructional area. Total reductions

Jethro Tull concert unlikely in spring
By J im Bailey
Entertainment Assistant
Unless Auburn Memorial Coliseum management can gua­rantee
that the temperature on the stage during a concert
will remain at or below 72 degrees, Jethro Tull will not per­form
at Auburn.
That was the message from Tull's promoter after he visited
here to check facilities for the tentatively scheduled ap­pearance
of Tull. Prospects Tull's appearance seemed good
last week when the Social Life Committee gave its go-ahead
for the group. Now, however, the chances of an appearance
by Tull are slight.
Air conditioning for the Coliseum was planned whpn con­struction
began, but a shortage of funds forced air-condi­tioning
to be dropped. According to Tull's promoter, unless
the temperature was 72 degrees or under, the piano and gui--
tar strings could not be tuned properly for the performance.
Even an offer by Coach Wayne Murphy, Coliseum Man­ager,
to bring in fans for the concert was refused.
The temperature was not the only requirement Tull's pro­moter
listed; he also said the stage the group would play on
must be five feet high. At present the stage used is only four
feet high, but Murphy agreed to raise the stage another foot.
Also the stage was supposed to have a special cut in the
front, but this matter was also agreed upon. Coach Murphy
even went as far as to promise that a black canopy cover the
rear of the stage so that no one could see the group enter or
exit. However, Murphy was unable to promise a specific tem­perature.
Rusk discusses future peace and politics...
By Dale Crail
Plainsman Staff Writer
Former Secretary of State Dean Rusk
stated in an Auburn speech Monday,
that there were only two things defi­nite
about the Vietnam truce—all
American forces will be withdrawn,
and most of our prisoners of war will be
returned. In his talk on "Prospects for
Peace in the Seventies," Rusk pointed
out that in every armed conflict, it is
difficult to account for all lost men.
"We still have a good deal of unfi-

nished business ahead of us in South­east
Asia," he said. 'There are prob­lems
of political settlement, and the al­ways
present problem of compliance
with the agreements."
Rusk gave his approach to the peace
settlement problems: "We should meti­culously
comply with the agreements
made," he said. "And we should give
these agreements a chance to work."
Rusk also foresees similar problems
facing the Middle East. "I do not un­derestimate
the diffuculty of reaching a
peace agreement in the Middle East,"
he said.
There cannot be an agreement in the
Middle East until the Arab side is pre
pared to accept Israel as an indepen­dent
state with the full rights and pri­vileges
of a state, and Israel with­draws
its forces from the territory it
seized in 1967," he contended.
A peace agreement will not come
from outside countries, he added.
"Only those people who live there can
make this agreement."
Rusk, now a professor of interna­tional
law at the University of Geor­gia,
gave his analysis on present and
future war and peace situations in the
world.
Since 1963, the U.S. has been en­gaged
in a probe with the Soviet Union
to seek mutual points of agreement.
The Test Ban Treaty of 1963 can be con­sidered
the beginning of this probe
said Rusk.
This probe has led to meetings such
as the current Strategic Arms Limita­tions
talks. "I'm concerned that we get
on with the SALT talks," Rusk said.
These talks have resulted in an in­terim
agreement of five years banning
the use and development of certain
types of offensive missiles, and limi­ting
to 200 the number of anti-ballistic
missiles the U.S. and the Soviet Union
can maintain.
"But this is like building a dam one
fourth of the way across a river," said
Rusk. There have been no agreements
limiting the number of warheads each
missile might carry, megatonnage,
mobile missiles, missiles launched
from sea positions, qualitative im­provements,
or on money spent for
developing these elaborate systems, he
explained.
"Both sides can literally destroy the
other, regardless of who fires first," he
said. "And it is in the interest of both
sides to put a ceiling on these nuclear
developments."
Talks concerning world population
and rights to ocean beds have also
evolved from this period of interna­tional
probing. The year 1974 has been
designated by the U.N. as "U.N. Popu­lation
Year," said Rusk.
One of the questions Rusk raises
from the population explosion is—Can
volunteerism by parents in regulating
family size be relied upon, or is coer­cion
by law required to limit the popu­lation
growth? Rusk also sees religious
views on birth control adjusting to the
views of the people as it has in the past.
Directly linked with the expanding
population is the food and natural re­sources
supply. "The problem of di­minishing
resources, unless rationally
resolved, could lead to armed conflict
as history shows," said Rusk.
Rusk also predicts that "we will see
some striking changes in the policies
concerning ocean waters." Current
problems being discussed are: the
width of territorial waters, the exten­sion
of these waters, international fish­ing
grounds, pollution of the oceans,
and the exploitation of deep-ocean
beds.
There is a high risk that we will open
up international competition for sea-beds
that could be comparable to the
competition for land when Europe was
exploding forth in its colonization at­tempts,
added Rusk.
Rusk also views weather and cli­mate
control as a possible interna­tional
problem that deserves the atten­tion
of international powers. "I per­sonally
do not believe that it is too early
to draw boundaries on weather con­trol,"
he said.
These international talks may also
lead to talks involving other nations.
Nixon's visit to Peking has raised the
possibility that we might engage in a
probe with China to find mutual points
of agreement, he continued.
Rusk's appearance was sponsored by
the University Lectures Committee:
Alpha Lambda Delta, freshman
women's honorary, and Phi Eta Sigma,
freshman men's honorary.

FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE DEAN RUSK
. . .Speaks on prospects for peace here
..and tells students to find stars
"I hear young people asking—'For
what should I prepare myself?' My
answer —for whatever comes," said
former Secretary of State Dean Rusk as
he addressed the Phi Eta Sigma and
Alpha Lambda Delta initiation ban­quet
Monday night, which concluded
his visit to.Auburn.
"There is no way we can describe
what life will be like in the year 2,000,"
added the Georgia educator.
Rusk urged young people to develop
the habit and reputation for excellence
in their field. He pointed out that his as­sociates
who seek younger personnel
are looking for the quality of an
individual on which excellence can be
built.
He reflected on a comment of his
friend General Omar N. Bradley who
said, "Now is the time to chart our
course by the stars." Student years are
the best years to find those stars, stated
Rusk.
He emphasized the need for people to
act together as a whole to resolve pro­blems.
"I hear young people in discus­sion
groups around the country say­ing:
T must find myself. I must reach
my identity. I must do my thing.' What
a boring thing living would be unless
we reach out and embrace the fraterni­ty
of man," he said.
"We came out of World War II with
unimaginable power. We had tens of
millions of arms in our conventional
forces. We had a monopoly on nuclear
weapons, and we were physically un-scarred
by the war itself," Rusk ex­plained.
"This is a story which has had its
mistakes. It has been filled with disen­chantment,
and it has been costly." But
we laid down out arms and sought to
help the defeated nations as well as our
allies rebuild, he added. "This is not a
story of which we need to be ashamed:"
"I personally hope that, you will take
a piece of the action and not take light­ly
what one person can do, for it can be
multiplied across the nation," he said.
In closing, Rusk urged young people
to "bring to bear imagination; strike off
in new directions. In life, you'll never f
find a dull moment."

Trustees
to consider
transmitter
By Frank Whatley
Plainsman Staff Writer
A request for a more power­ful
transmitter for WEGL-FM
will be forwarded to the
Board of Trustees by the pres­ident's
office according to
Acting Pres. Ben T. Lan-ham.
The request will be con­sidered
by the board at its
March 14 meeting, he said.
If the request is approved
by the Board of Trustees it
will be sent to the Federal
Communications Commis­sion
with WEGL's request for
license renewal. If the re­quests
are approved by the
FCC, the Concessions Board
would be asked to ap­propriate
$5,950 for the new
equipment from the earn­ings
of the vending machines
on campus.
Lanham isn't sure of the
response the trustees will
give the request, but, he said,
since the trustees approved
the original transmitter, this
indicates a friendly attitude
toward WEGL.
Concern by the Conces­sions
Board over why a new
transmitter was wanted "so
soon after getting the pre­sent
one" has been satisfied,
says Paul C. Brandt, Conces­sions
Board member. Brandt
said the board was told, when
the request was unofficially
presented to the board earlier
this quarter, that WKGL had
proven itself popular and suc­cessful
and that the old
equipment would not be
wasted but would be kept for
stand-by use.
The Concessions Board
will officially hear the re­quest
for funds after the FCC
hears WEGL's case. The out­look
is good that the money
will be appropriated says
Brandt.
If the increase in power is
granted, WEGL will change
frequency so as not to inter­fere
with Georgia Tech's sta­tion
WREK, also on the 91.1
frequency.

By Greg Lisby
Assistant News Editor
Edward R. Blodgett, director of Law
Enforcement and Security at an
Astoria, Oregon, Job Corps Center,
was approved as the new police chief
for the City of Auburn by the City
Council Tuesday.
Blodgett will begin work in Auburn
March 5, 1973, at a salary of $14,400 a
year, an increase of $2,800 over the
salary Thomas Kernen was receiving
when he resigned as police chief Sept. 1,
1972.
Kernen resigned for "personal rea­sons"
following two court suits filed
and won by former policemen ques­tioning
the reasons for their dismis­sals
by Kernen.
It was also revealed that Kernen had
been receiving two salaries while Au­burn
police chief. One was from the
City of Auburn and the other was from
the U.S. Army. The Army salary was
for his training period as police chief,
while he was specifically forbidden by
Armv regulations to receive any other
income except his Army pay. Kernen
returned the money paid him by the
city.
The resolution recommending Blod­gett
for the job was made by Public
Safety Committee Chairman Clyde
Prather and seconded by Councilman
Bruce Herring. Without any discus­sion,
all councilmen voted for the ap­pointment
withthe exception of Walter
Giddens who abstained.
The appointment climaxed a four
and a half month search by the Public
Safety Committee which considered
160 applications for the position.
Blodgett was the only applicant of­fered
the job by the committee.
At the last Council meeting, Prather
announced that the earliest the com­mittee
would be able to report would be
in March.
Prather said Blodgett's strongest at­tributes
were in the field of personnel
management, the development of good
departmental morale and investiga­tion.
A native of New York, Blodgett has
been in police work for 17years and, ac­cording
to Council President Eugene
Stanaland, "visited Auburn in
January and was impressed with Au­burn
and the potential here."
Credit union receives award
for promoting thrift by saving
For encouraging thrift
through saving, the Auburn
University Federal Credit
Union has been presented the
1972 Thrift Honor Award
from the National Credit
Union Administration.
Dr. Paul Budenstein, presi­dent
of the credit union, made
the announcement in a Board
of Directors meeting held this
week.
At the same time he re­ported
a change in the
growth pattern of the 12-year-old
University organization.
"Total assets increased by
33.8 per cent," he said, "par­tially
due to the unfavorable
business conditions na­tionally
and the attractive­ness
of the 5'/i per cent divi­dend
of the Auburn Univer­sity
Credit Union.
"Loans increased 21 per
cent last year," he continued,
"and while about 70 per cent
of the shares was out on loan,
over $500,000 was invested
by the credit union in highly
secured certificates of de­posit,
bonds, and similar
quality investments.
"Income from these invest­ments
accounted for 17 per
cent of total income, with dis­tributed
earning to share
holders amounting to
$761,713."
The credit union moved to
more spacious quarters in
Tichenor Hall last year and is
scheduled for another move
to a new building to be shared
with Campus Security this
year.
Continued growth has re­quired
the upgrading of re­cord-
keeping machinery and
an NCR 399 computerized
system has been purchased,
capable of performing statis­tical
analyses as well as
simple record keeping.
Budenstein was re-elected
president of Auburn Uni­versity
Federal Credit Union.
Other members of the board
include Dr. T. Ben Hagler,
new vice president; Dr. Helen
Douty, membership officer;
Charles W. Brunson, educa­tion
committee; Robert G.
Pitts, investment officer; Dr.
Donald Hartford, education
officer; Jack Worthington,
Auburn University at Mont­gomery;
Dr. George Horton,
new security officer; and Dr.
Clarke Holloway, new direc­tor.

One of the major aspects of
the tuberculosis program in
Alabama today is case pre­vention.
Case prevention
means identifying indi­viduals
who are at risk of de­veloping
active tuberculosis
and providing them with pre­ventive
treatment. Provid­ing
persons with preventive
treatment reduces their
chances significantly of ever
having a problem with the di­sease
tuberculosis.
How is a program of tuber­culosis
prevention carried
out? First of all, persons are
given t h e tuberculin skin test.
Two days later the results of
these skin tests are read by a
qualified person. If the skin
test is negative, this means
that no tuberculosis germs
are present in the body. If the
test is positive, this means
that living TB germs are pre­sent
in the body. It does not
mean, however, that a per­son
h a s an active case of TB.
Active and contagious tuber­culosis
can only be dis­covered
through additional
examinations such as x-ray
and laboratory studies of a
patient's sputum.
Most of the persons who
have positive tuberculin skin
tests do not have active tuber­culosis,
but they are at some
risk of developing the di­sease
throughout the course
of their lives. This risk of
developing active TB can be
reduced by taking pills (INH)
for a period of one year. Since
1965 in Alabama, in excess of
67,000 persons have taken
INH preventive treatment
which has possibly helped
them to prevent serious ill­ness
and the development of
active tuberculosis.
ROTC available
to soph mores
Sophomores (and juniors
or seniors who plan to attend
graduate school) can join the
Army ROTC program in
their junior year even if they
have no prior Military
Science instruction, accord­ing
to Col. George G. Tucker.
Those interested may apply
to Tucker in the ROTC De­partment.
If accepted, they
would attend a six-week basic
camp during the summer
between their sophomore and
junior years. If they success­fully
complete the camp, they
join the ROTC Advanced
Course as juniors.
Interested persons may
contact the Professor of Mili­tary
Science at Auburn for
further information.
By Frank Whatley
Plainsman Staff Writer
Auburn University has been ac­cused
of discriminating against whites
in a complaint filed with the Depart­ment
of Health, Education, and Wel­fare
by six Jewish organizations.
The complaint against the Universi­ty
was part of a group complaint in­cluding
15 other colleges and univer­sities
across the United States filed by
the six organizations, among them the
Anti-Defamation League of B'nai
B'rith.
Quoted in the complaint was an ad­vertisement
purchased by Auburn Uni­versity
in the employment brochure of
the December, 1971, issue of the Amer­ican
Historical Association. The ad
stated Auburn had no positions open
except for a black Ph.D.
Samuel Solomon, ombudsman of the
HEW Office for Civil Rights, in­vestigated
the 16 complaints filed last
Aug. 8, and has concluded the abuses
were unintentional and resulted from
"misunderstanding what equal op­portunity
means."
Referring to Auburn, Solomon said,
"Auburn didn't understand there is a
right way and a wrong way to adver­tise.
When a vacancy opens there
should be an effort to attract as many
qualified people as possible." Solomon
stated that since "Auburn is in a state
that has a history of exclusion of
blacks, Auburn has the responsibility
to recruit but not to set aside jobs for
blacks."
Dr. Taylor Littleton, vice-president
for Academic Affairs, said the ad was
misphrased. He said it meant to con­vey
that Auburn was taking a "positive
stance" on employing blacks.
There was no response to the ad, ac­cording
to Littleton.
The complaint was filed by the six
Jewish organizations and not on be­half
of any particular individuals. How
the organizations were informed about
the ads is not known, says Solomon,
"unless they saw it in a professional
journal."
None of the complaining groups
spoke to Auburn University before fil­ing
the complaint, says Littleton.
An attack on alledged abuses in
equal opportunity programs is being
led by a number of intellectuals such as
Sidney Hook, New York University
philosopher. Says Hook, "The effect of
the ultimatum to universities to hire
blacks and women. . .is to compel
them to hire unqualified Negroes and
women and to discriminate against
qualified non-blacks and men. Intel­ligent,
self-respecting Negroes and wo­men
would scorn such preferential
treatment."
Critics of the program acknowledge
that women and minorities have been
discriminated against, and that some
sort of effort is needed to increase their
representation on college faculties.
But, they argue, the affirmative action
program by a policy of "numerical
goals" is forcing what it calls an
abandonment of "merit hiring," penal­izing
well-qualified white males and
lowering educational standards.
The Office for Civil Rights of HEW
points to guide lines issued in October
prohibiting reverse discrimination.
Solomon and Littleton agree that
"affirmative action" is difficult to put
into effect.
Says Littleton, the program is com­plex
and Auburn is "doing its best" not
to give the impression of being closed to
blacks. Littleton revealed the phrasing
of the ads have been changed "so that
no one is eliminated from considera­tion
because of the way the ad was
worded."
Commenting on HEW's duties, So­lomon
said, "We have to be very care­ful.
We don't want to go to a school and
say 'stop.' We want to say, 'You're do­ing
a good job, but be careful that you
don't discriminate against somebody
else while you make up for past dis­crimination
against women and minor­ities."
Referring to charges that a qualified
white male must be a "superwhite" to
be considered for a position, Littleton
said, "That attitude is due to the clos­ing
of the job market and an over-sup­ply
of candidates, though I suspect it
may be true in some cases."
The Anti-Defamation League filed 19
more complaints with HEW, Dec. 20.
Auburn was not named in t h a t group of
complaints.
Business course designed for Yet students
A new course specifically designed
for seniors in the Veterinary Medicine
has been added to the Department of
Accounting and Finance, School of
Business.
The course will provide minimal ex­posure
to record keeping systems and
reporting required by law for veter­inary
practitioners. Comparative busi­ness
forms will be examined to provide
a basis for choice by the veterinarian
when he establishes his practice.
The workshop-seminar type presen­tations
will also discuss legal liability
in connection with professional and
business practices, and the student will
be apprised of his tax responsibility
with respect to licensing, property and
income reporting.
In general, according to Dr. O.D.
Turner, dean of the School of Business,
the course seeks to develop an under­standing,
not an expertise, in the eco­nomic,
financial and institutional
framework in which the future veter­inarian
will live and function.
Assisting in the development of the
new course were Dr. Greg Boring of
Veterinary Medicine and Dr. Robert
Criss and Mike Dalton of the Account­ing
and Finance Department, School of
Business.
The course will be taught beginning
summer quarter and will be an elective
for all students in veterinary medicine.
It is a one-quarter, three credit hour
course.

A stab in the back
The Nixon administration's sud­den
impoundment of Congress-ionally
appropriated funds for
higher education constitutes a
stab-in-the-back tactic to many uni­versities
including Auburn which
will lose $3.3 million in operating
revenue next year if t h e policy is up­held.
Auburn, as a land grant univer­sity,
has received federal funds
under the Morrill-Nelson Act for
over 100 years. But this year, Presi­dent
Nixon is withholding some
such funds appropriated by Con­gress
as well a s funds for a number
of other domestic programs. That
includes funds for money already
spent on certain University
programs here and, also, is a near-definite
indication that Auburn
will lose next year's $3.3 million
which has beenearmarkedfor stu­dent
loans and grants, work-study
programs, scholarships in phar­macy
and veterinary medicine,
public service programs, research
(especially in engineering and tech­nological
areas), and—most
seriously—instruction.
Of course, impoundment and cur­tailment
of funds is billed a s an im­portant
anti-inflationary move by
the Nixon administration. No one
likes inflation and no one likes to
lose federal funding. So, to put it
crudely, we realize t h a t the Nixon
administration is saying: "you
can't have your cake and eat it too."
But even if such a policy will keep
future inflation in check (and there
are doubts), we also must realize
what we are sacrificing in terms of
domestic benefits. "The New Re­public"
comments: "In Mr. Nixon's
words, it 'gets government off our
backs and out of our pockets.' But
what is to come out of our lives?"
Primarily, we are not challeng­ing
the Nixon administration's
solution to "bureaucratic waste"
and inflation. That's a matter for a
lengthy debate. Rather, our gripe
concerns the abrupt nature of the
President's action—i,e., his failure
to give specific and adequate warn­ing
to the institutions like Auburn
that will suffer. It is this incon­siderate
and disrupting manner of
impounding funds—not the cut­backs
themselves—that can right­fully
be called a stab-in-the-back.
Auburn officials were surprised,
to say the least, when they learned
of the President's action. In fact,
Acting University President Ben T.
Lanham said that the cutback
comes at a time which may be too
late for the University to seek s t a te
support or to find other sources of
funding. Auburn's budget request
for the next two years h a s already
been submitted to state agencies
and was developed without know­ledge
of the Nixon cutback. If a
warning on the impoundment
and curtailment had come from
Washington a few months ago,
University officials could have
planned for the crisis.
The stab-in-the-back is particu­larly
damaging to Auburn's in­structional
area. The probable loss
of approximately $1.2 million (of
the $3.3) earmarked for grants in
vet medicine, pharmacy, library
programs, law enforcement train­ing,
undergraduate teaching equip­ment
and education is a severe jolt.
Ironically, University officials
have lately been talking of the s t a te
legislature's responsibility to in­crease
salaries for faculty. Now
that $1.2million for instuctionmay
be on its way out, will t h e impetus
to acquire needed salary increases
be stifled by a scramble to replace
lost funding?
It hurts. Dr. Lanham told the
Alabama Commission on Higher
Education earlier this month that
salaries for Auburn faculty mem­bers
have fallen $2000 below the
national average during the past
five years. "This condition is being
reflected on thecampus today in the
continuing loss at an increasing
rate of Auburn's, best a n d most pro­mising
faculty members," he said.
Depressing.
We appreciate t h e efforts of Sena­tor
John Sparkman who has cor
sponsored a bill to restrict execu­tive
impoundment. Other members
of the Alabama Congressional
Delegation should be looking for
ways to assist Auburn University
during these hard times. And we
know University officials will be
doing all they can within t h e next
few months to heal the wound so
callously inflicted by the Nixon ad­ministration.
Academic grievances
Last month we reported that an
ad hoc committee of faculty mem­bers
and students had designed an
academic grievance code with an
accompanying academic grie­vance
board for adoption by the
University (faculty) Senate a n d the
administration. If implemented,
the code would provide students
with a more effective system for re­dress
of certain academic grie­vances,
primarily those concerned
with the unethical practices of a
very few faculty members.
The details on the proposal and
various opinions on whether or not
it should be adopted appear in a
series of related articles on pages 10
and 11.
As we stated editorially last
month, the code should be ap­proved
by the University Senate as
soon as possible.
The Student Senate, the execu­tive
officers of the'SGA, and Omi-cron
Delta Kappa leadership hono­rary
have all endorsed the propo­sal.
Also, respected administrators
such as Dr. Ruth Galbraith, dean of
the School of Home Economics and
chairperson of the ad hoc commit­tee,
have recommended its adop­tion.
No proposal, however, is ideal.
Thus, Plainsman News Editor
Jimmy Johnson h a s recorded some
doubts about the proposal in a n edi­torial
column this week. Even
though he thinks the concept
faulty, he concludes that the re­commendation
is the "only alter­native"
a t present. Such will be the
reasoning of many . skeptics, no
doubt, who reluctantly admit that
the University h a s grown so large
that abuses in teaching procedure
are tolerated by an insensitive aca­demic
environment. As far as the
workability of t h e grievance board
mechanism is concerned, skeptics
should remember that the board
and code would be implemented ini­tially
on a one-year trial basis. If
the proposed system offers no im­provement,
it can easily be aban­doned
next year.
At present, the entire matter is at
the mercy of the University Senate.
Conerned students should, care­fully
monitor the comments and
actions of the faculty senators.
We'll keep you posted.

The Auburn Plainsman is the student newspaper of Auburn University, Editorial opi­nions
are those of the editor and columnists and are not necessarily the opinions of the
Board of Trustees, administration, faculty, or student body of Auburn University.
Two unrelated incidents concerning
unexplained "phenomenons" have in­trigued
me for the past year. At the risk
of becoming an object of mockery by
those who have an explanation for
everything, I share them with you:
* A group of college-educated, upper
middle-class women in a small town
gather together to pray to the Lord and
speak in "strange tongues" while en­meshed
in a spiritual trance. So claim a
group of credible townspeople who
ponder over what they "know" to be
true.
* A "straight" student noted by his
friends for his academic achievements
ia suddenly overwhelmed by some in­tangible
force while driving his date
and another couple to a party. He
reacts violently, jerks himself away
from the steering wheel, and attacks
his friend in the back seat. Seconds
later, he passes out. Meanwhile, some­one
gains control of the car and carries
him to a friend's house. There he re­ceives
first aid, and, upon revival,
claims to have been visited by a de­monic
spirit. His friends quickly dis­miss
the consumption of one-half a beer
as a cause. They know, too, that he has
never experimented with illegal drugs.
Oddly enough, he has no history of as­sociation
with the activities of devil
worshippers, seance buffs, or mystics
of any kind.
We have witnessed a revival in mys­tical
and superstitious fads during the
past few years. That's how some would
explain the above incidents. The indi­viduals
involved simply were taken in
by the mum bo-jumbo of books and
broadcasts on the black arts, astro­logy,
parapsychology, and the charis­matic
Jesus movement, they would
say.
Others would attribute the incidents
to a peculiar weakness of humanity.

Ejections Tuesday
AWS working for constructive change
One of the major issues which
women students will be voting on in the
AWS elections Tuesday is the adoption
of a revised constitution. The constitu­tion,
unanimously passed by the AWS
Mary Anne
Hall
Legislative council, requires approval
of two-thirds of those voting in the
general election to be adopted.
Essentially, the revisions can be di­vided
into three basic areas: a revised
executive board, the formation of an
executive cabinet, and a revised AWS
Legislative council to be called the
Council of Dormitory Presidents.
First, the Executive Board would in­clude
the president, a first-vice pres­ident,
secretary, treasurer and the ad­dition
of a second vice-president. The
duties of these officers would basically
remain the same with a few altera­tions.
The first vice-president would re­tain
the duties of the present vice-pres­ident.
In addition she would preside
over the Council of Dormitory Pres­idents.
The second vice president,
which is added under the new plan,
would assume the duties formerly held
by the Intercollegiate AWS con­tact—
communicating with AWS
organizations on other campuses. In
addition she would serve as co­ordinator
of the Executive Cabinet.
The Executive Cabinet would be in
charge of the projects and programs
which AWS should chose to sponsor.
Any interested woman student would
be eligible for the cabinet positions
(such as public relations, high school-freshman
relations, etc.) and the com­mittees
working under them.
The third major revision concerns
the AWS Legislative Council. Present­ly
the council consists of three per­sons—
president, vice-president, and
AWS representative—from each of the
26 women's dormitories. The proposal
creates a Council of Dormitory Pres­idents.
The AWS representative would
be eliminated. There would still be a
dormitory vice-president but she would
not be required to attend the council
meeting. The structure of the indi­vidual
Dormitory House Councils
would remain unchanged.
The purpose of reducing member­ship
to dorm presidents is designed to
strengthen this part of AWS, and
develop a more cohesive body since
overall interest in this area is waning.
The council would still be involved in
matters affecting the dormitories.
Why had AWS chosen to revise its
constitution? Auburn is changing.
Slowly, perhaps, but changing none­theless.
An increasing number of
women are moving off-campus. If AWS
is to become a viable part of campus life
than it must be structured to meet the
needs and interests of the women stu­dents
of today and the future.
However, the present structure is
geared overwhelmingly toward the dor­mitories.
In fact, the primary way to be­come
involved in AWS is through a
dorm office. I do not mean to imply that
our dorm link is unimportant. Since a
large portion of the women students
live on campus, it is very important to
strengthen our communication with
the wishes and concerns of dorm resi­dents
through the President's Council.
In addition it is essential to open up
AWS for wider participation of all
women students. The revisions pro­vide
for all women students—on and
off campus—to run for executive office
and participate in the project and
program area through channels in
addition to dorm office.
For the past few years AWS has been
concerned with a changing role and
image on campus. Most AWS organiza­tions
across the country are no longer
rule making and rule enforcing groups.
Either special regulations for women
(such as curfews) are non-existent or
AWS has chosen no longer to par­ticipate
in rule enforcement. The gen­eral
trend among AWS organizations
has been in a more positive direction,
such as service. For instance, AWS
organizations have become involved
with women's rights and discrimina­tion
on campus, day care, vocational
guidance information, birth control in­formation
and various other speaker
programs and seminars.
Here at Auburn AWS is straddling
both roles. AWS has been demanding,
verbally at least, that discriminatory
dorm policies be changed. We have
been saying that the University apply
the same policies to all students rather
than maintain a separate set of poli­cies
for women and for men living on
campus. While we have proposed an
end to such policies, we find ourselves
in the position of still enforcing them.
AWS will continue in this function
until the time eventually comes that
special policies for women are nr
longer a part of campus life or until tht
women students no longer feel com­pelled
to enforce these policies on
each other.
AWS has begun to expand in the ser­vice
area. We have worked with SGA,
ZPG, the Interagency Day Care Cen­ter
and sponsored various speakers
and a Career Day for Women. The re­vised
constitution is ' designed to
establish a firmer base on which this
area of potential for AWS can develop.
During the past few years AWS has
been working for constructive change.
There is still much to be done and a
large field of possibilities in which
AWS can serve the interest of Au­burn's
women students. A well-or­ganized
structure is crucial to the func­tioning
of an organization. For this
reason it is most important that women
students vote on Tuesday in favor of
the revisions.
They would point to segments of popu­lations,
past and present, which have
succombed to superstition as a way of
life. Famous novelist and objectivist
Ayn Rand, for example, mocks the
"witch doctors" of all civilizations and
includes the most contemporary reli­gious
dogmas as objects of her blister­ing
denunciations. Naturally, she calls
upon mankind to focus on reason and
logic while relegating imagination to
the limited spheres of functional sim­plicity
and "improvements over
nature."
Yes, it's all very easy to explain
away. Babbling prophets who dare to
make too much of bizarre experiences
are better off in an asylum or under psy-
(See BOTSFORD, page 6)
Day care necessity, not luxury
Dick Chenoweth, student sena­t
o r from the Graduate School, has
studied the problems surrounding
the lack of day care facilities and
funding in the area. Presently, he
is chairman of the Student Senate
Day Care Study Committee. He
was asked to speculate on where
funds for quality day care may be
found.
—Editor's note
Should Auburn University provide
day care facilities for its students? This
question has come to light in recent
years for several reasons. The in­creased
number of married students at­tending
colleges and universities, the
women's rights movement for equal
educational and job opportunities, and
the promotion of good away-from-home
experiences for children have created a
greater demand for more quality day
care.
._,,Since approximately, one-fourth of
Auburn's student bqdy is.married, a,de-
,mand or, potential, demand.exists for
quality day care. "Day care" is a
general term referring to the many
types of child care facilities. These
range from the "nanny" caring for chil­dren
in a home, through the day nur­sery
schools, to the sophisticated day
care centers *uch as the Auburn Inter­agency
Day Care Center. There is a de­finite
shortage of day care facilities in
the community. One parent in a mov­ing
personal letter to President Phil-pott
wrote, "I had to wait two months,
after applying for an opening..." while
another expressed his concern for the
". ..lack of sufficient good child care in
Auburn." This shortage forces many
student parents to drop out of school or
give up a job to care for their children. A
student wife working in a local doc­tor's
office grievously expressed she
had put her child ". . . in an unfit nur­sery
in Opelika because I couldn't af­ford
anything else . . . when I only get
paid $1.30 per hour and work part
time."
Most of the student parents are can­didates
for master's and doctorate
degrees. If the benefits of graduate
work hadn't outweighed the costs of
giving up a steady job, these students
wouldn't have pursued that advanced
degree. However, one of the parents
usually must obtain a job to help
supplement their income. Since a stu­dent's
stay in Auburn is transient in
nature, employers, realizing the high
turnover rate of students, hesitate to
give a high paying job to these parents.
This low income and the cost of plac­ing
their children in adequate day care
facilities are a strain on their budgets.
One student expressed that the cost of
day care facilities "makes it unprofit­able
to work." The parents want the
best possible care and supervision for
their children, but the cost of quality
day care makes this almost unfeasible
for students.
Many concerned citizens of Auburn
realized the immediate need for quality
day care and established the non-pro­fit
low cost Auburn Interagency Day
Care Center for Auburn University stu­dents.
It has succeeded in providing a
benefit to the University, to a few stu­dent
parents, and to their pre-school
children. To provide the highest
quality available, the Center is staffed
with personnel holding advanced
degrees in the related child develop­ment
fields. However, the center has
not been without its problems. In try­ing
to realize the goal of providing the
highest quality of day care, the Au­burn
Interagency Day Care Center has
been hindered by insufficient funds. In
its limited facilities, the Center can
only enroll 32 children. While finances
for the center are provided by the fees
parents pay, the Center is also depen­dent
on outside donations from in­terested
groups. Permanent .-sources of
funds have been sought with little suc­cess,
and, if not for a generous gift of
$5000, the Interagency Day Care
Center may have been forced to shut its
doors this quarter.
Where should funds for an extended
program of quality day care come
from? One possible source is the Stu-
Dick
Chenoweth
dent Activity Fee, a portion of'each stu­dent's
tuition. However, the issue of
non-married students paying for the
child care of married students can
hardly be justified. Then one looks to
the University for funds. There again,
the issue is the same except on a higher
level. Should the taxpayers of Ala­bama
support the child care of other
citizens? Perhaps the University could
go part of the way by providing space
for the expanded facilities of Auburn
Interagency Day Care in, say, Carolyn
DraughonVillage and, through econo­mies
of scale, could reduce the neces­sary
outside funding. This savings
could be realized when the Center
served 100 children instead of the 32
presently served.
The last possible area of funding is
the federal government. Many groups
have criticized President Nixon for
planning cut­backs
in domes­tic
programs.
Such is the case
with many day
care advocates.
These feel that
the federal go-vernment
should provide funds for day
care as it does for public education.
That doesn't sound unreasonable
given today's values of a greater public
role for women. Where a definite need
exists—as does here in Auburn—funds
should be provided.
The problem of shortages in quality
day care has been stated. But whose
role is it td provide for this quality day
car*? The answerseemsto lie with the
federal government. Day care is no
longer a luxury, but a necessity. The
time to act is now.
University shouldn't need
academic grievance board
Auburn University should not need
the academic grievance board pro­posed
by the University Senate Ad Hoc
Committee on Student Grievances. The
many problems that would accost such
a board make its success doubtful and
its need regrettable.
One problem that overshadows the
possibility of an effective grievance
council is the inevitable promotion by
the board of student-instructor rival­ries
which would create a hostile at­mosphere
detrimental to an educa­tional
classroom relationship. Too, the
board might be, from its inception, a
bureaucratic monster constantly
bogged down in a mire of complaints
which must be individually studied to
some extent, and a grievance commit­tee
might soon become primarily a
sounding board for every student with
a complaint so petty that no other
agency would bother to consider it.
Auburn University should not need
such a disorienting, vaguely-promis­ing
program. But it does.
There are unfortunate cases where
faculty and staff have instituted un­fair
policies, and the victim is often left
with no avenue of reprisal.
James E. Foy, Dean of Student Af­fairs
and a proponent of a grievance
committee, compiled several such cases
for the Ad Hoc Committee on Student
Grievances.
One of these cases concerns a profes­sor
who announces at the first class
meeting that most of the students will
fail his course; another is a student who
works part-time for Campus Security
and feels that his psychology instruc­tor
failed him because he wore his uni­form
to class. A graduate student
teaching the class alledgedly re­marked
to a cohort that she "got even"
with the student because of a personal
prejudice against policemen. There are
other cases—professors who give only
one exam and professors who never
return quizzes once they are graded,
etc.
Certainly teaching contracts aren't
signed in Heaven, and if the education
profession is without its bad apples, it
; s the only profession to enjoy that dis­tinction
on this green earth. These,
truths are almost ludicrous in their sim­plicity
and cannot be seriously denied.
Yet the University ignores tbem, and
this is, finally, the core of the grie­vance
problem.
The student grievance system as it
presently exists is based on a depart­mental
level. All complaints should go
first to the instructor involved and
then, if the student is not satisfied, to
the departmental authorities. How­ever,
veteran Auburn students know
and new ones quickly learn that an Au­burn
University department head or
Jimmy
Johnson
A ,
administrator would rather burn in
eternal flames than to dispute or re­verse
the decision of a subordinate! The
students realize, too, that any com­plaints
guided through present chan­nels
will probably be pooh-poohed
away, and the instructor's original
grade or policy will be upheld in the end
without ever being seriously chal­lenged.
Auburn has blind faith in its in­structors,
but how can blind faith in
hundreds of employes be 100 per cent
justified?
Friends of the new grievance board
system claim that all student gripes
will be brought through the existing
network and will come before the board
only after all stops along the way have
been exhausted. They claim that this
method will put new pressure on de­partment
heads to give a full ear to all
grievances. But what could conceiv­ably
happen is that the complaints will
be passed from administrator to ad­ministrator
until all wind up in the clut­tered
lap of the grievance board. The of­ficials
may reason that any unfavor­able
decision rendered by them will be
appealed anyway.
The best answer is not a grievance
board. Complaints should be handled
fairly at the department level without
need of pressure. There the adminis­trators
are familiar with the persons,
courses and requirements involved.
There they are best equipped to make
an intelligent decision. An omni-judi-cial
committee could never review a
case with the insight of the depart­ment
concerned. Unbiased review of all
complaints concerning its students
and instructors by the department is
the best answer. It is what Auburn
should have.
Such a system is impossible, how­ever,
unless the administration
changes its concept of infallibility in
instructors. Considering Auburn's past
record on change, a grievance board,
though not the best answer, is the only
alternative.

War:
page 5 Thurs., Feb. 22, 1973 THE AUBURN PUINMUN
In memory of its latest victims
The following is a transcription
of a sermon delivered by Rev.
Roderick Sinclair on Feb. 4,1973.
—Editor's note
By Rev. Roderick Sinclair
Chaplain, Episcopal Student
Center
Today's worship service is particu­larly
designed as a commemoration
service for all the persons—the sol­diers,
sailors , airmen of our armed
forces, the men and women of the
armed forces of South Vietnam, those
of the National Liberation Front and
the Republic of North Vietnam, and all
the civilians—who were killed in this,
our longest war.
All commemoration services fail
miserably; all are inadequate rituals to
express the depth of tragedy. But we do
what we can do. There is no way to
create an adequate memorial to 55,000
dead Americans, 162,000 dead South
Vietnamese, 900,000 dead Viet Cong
and North Vietnamese and hundreds
of thousands of dead civilians. So we
pick the Scripture readings from our
burial office and we share in the bread
and the wine of Jesus' Last Supper, for
he, like they, was a victim of man's vio­lence.
But to avoid a posture of perpetual
handwringing, we can (as we have
after every war) stop to take stock and
decide where we are, how we got here,
and what comes next—all for the pur­pose
of building into our national life
safeguard systems—lifeguard sys­tems—
that curb our easy access to the
use of military might. This morning I
would like to share my views on where
we are, how we got here and what
comes next—recognizing (as I know
you recognize) my obvious limitations,
yet recognizing also my feeling of res­ponsibility
to place the question of war
under Biblical judgement and, in this
way, commemorate those who gave
their lives.
How did we get where we are today?
What are the assumptions that we
operate under that led us into the war
and led us to pursue the war? What is
our thinking as a nation that is respon­sible
for our military involvement? I
see several assumptions operating. For
example, we as a nation have assumed
that warfare is a proper and feasible
way for this nation to solve its dis­agreements
with other nations. We
have created an army, navy, an air
force at collossal expense; we have en­listed
and trained our sons, sent them
off into danger, all on the unques­tioned
assumption that war is a fea­sible
and appropriate way to resolve in­ternational
conflict. Keen insight to the
contrary is disregarded. General Curtis
LeMay once said: "No one can win a
modern war." Yet our national and ir­rational
assumption is that war is okay
as a process. We admit to many conse­quences
but we finally conclude that
war as a mechanism to resolve inter­national
conflict is okay.
A second assumption supporting war
is the concept of national sovereignty
as having priority over some kind of
brotherhood of nations. Our vital in­terests
can be pursued at the expense of
and then we document our picture of
their sub-human cruelty with atrocity
stories. Both sides do this and then
proceed to act toward each other in
ways to confirm each other's image of
the other. The assumptions that the
enemy is inhuman, that warfare is a
proper way to solve international con­flict,
and that the concept of national
sovereignty is ahead of world brother­hood
facilitate our decision to go to war.
And so do other assumptions that we
make—which I won't list—but which
all seem to support the overriding con­clusion
that we as a nation have a cer-dropped
on England during the entire­ty
of World War II. We as a nation
cannot so conduct our external life
without major injury to our internal
life. And this injury, I believe, is injury
to our moral and spiritual fiber. We
have acute doubts about our integrity.
We h ave sought' 'peace with honor" but
both peace and honor appear to elude
us, even in the presence of the cease­fire.
Where are we now as a nation?
Morally and spiritually distressed.
What does the future hold for us as a
nation? What do we do now? Or, we
should ask, what can we be now? We
"But to avoid a posture of perpetual hand-wringing,
we can stop to take stock and decide
where we are, how we got here, and what comes
tain okay attitude about war. Let's face
it: we of middle-class America have not
campaigned against war like we have
campaigned, for example, against sex.
Sex has been a taboo subject; war never
has. "Don't get involved in sex till after
you're married," many parents preach.
War? Not a word. Certainly war is more
harmful that sex, but it is sex educa­tion
in the schools that has caused all
the furor. I don't know anyone who has
even proposed war education in the
schools. It's killing that should carry
the taboo, not sex.
That's partly how we got where we
REV. SINCLAIR
. . . Notes on war
are, operating under a number of as­sumptions
that made it so very easy to
go to war.
Now, where are we? We are officially
out of the war. Our troops are coming
home; our prisoners of war are coming
home. This country certainly appears
to be the principal beneficiary of the
cease-fire agreement. We may be pain­fully
apprehensive about what will
happen after we leave, but we are leav­ing.
But we are not leaving scot-free.
We are leaving carrying our dead with

another nation's vital interests, be­cause
they are ours; the priority in the
value system has been this nation, not
the world, p u r concept of national
sovereignty has put national interest
ahead of international interest and led
us into war. '
Related to this is a third assumption,
namely, that our enemies are inhu­man.
This is an enabling assumption,
a myth we create to enable us to go to
war. We call them "gooks" to remove
them from the category of the human
us; we are leaving many dead behind
us. What will our returning soldiers
find as they return to this country?
They will find, I believe, a nation suf­fering.
Not overtly suffering. Business
goes on as usual—you can count on
that. But beneath is an emptiness of
Spirit and a half-dead soul. I believe
this nation is painfully embar­rassed—
mortified—by our violence
toward North Vietnam. We dropped as
many tons of bombs in the two weeks at
Christmas as the German air force
can be—we must be (if we are to sur­vive)—
the people our heritage tells us
we are. Our national heritage tells us
we are "One nation under God." Our
Biblical heritage tells us we are minis­ters
of reconciliation, chosen people,
ambassador's of Christ, a new crea­tion,
a royal priesthood, His own dis­ciples,
a faithful remnant. I would like
to think that those of us within the
Christian Church would have the
greatest capacity to interpret national
life and see the answer to our guilt and
anguish in the Gospel of Christ. For, if
we have read and studied our Bible, we
know and participate in the merciful
forgiveness of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We know His power to restore; we know
His power to pick up the fallen; we
know His power to comfort the broken­hearted;
we know His power to care
everlastingly for those who have died
in war. We know that the broken
soul and broken spirit of this country
can only be revived by the Holy Spirit
of God Himself. It is God Himself who
will be our Restorer and our Redeemer.
Our prayer must be: "Restore us Lord,
starting with me."
We must, if we are to survive, recom­mit
our lives to our Lord Jesus Christ.
We must rededicate ourselves as His
disciples, ambassadors of peace, build­ers
of destroyed cities, healers of
wounds, comforters of the suffering.
We must radically overhaul our priori­ties:
if we are not being trained for a job
directly related to helping the common
good, we must re-tool so we can be
helpers, healers, builders, advocates,
prophets, workers, spokesmen—all for
the common good, all carrying forth
the restoring spirit of our Lord. We
must radically realign the assump­tions
of this country and attack the
norm that says war is moral, that says
war is proper and feasible. We must ra­dically
realign the assumptions of this
country and attack the norm that links
violence with courage and bravery and
rediscover the courage and bravery of
the nonviolent responses of moral
force, of soul-force, of purity of spirit, of
gentleness of mind. We must redis­cover
the deep widsom in the action of
"turning the other cheek" and instill in
ourselves and in this nation a pacifism
that will make future war impos­sible—
make future war against our na­ture—
make future war taboo. This
must be, above all else, the mission of
the Christian folk of this nation—for
this is how we commemorate our dead.
We commemorate our dead by build­ing
assurances that they shall be the
last. We commemorate our dead by a
commitment among the living to con­vert
this nation into a land where the
Spirit of God abides. We commemorate
the dead by our commitment to restore
God's Spirit to a spiritless land, that
our nation's soul may be revived and
we its people enjoy the fruits of bro­therhood
and peace. Amen.

Student denounces
SGA membership
Editor, The Plainsman
My purpose in this letter is
to attack the Constitution of
the Student Government As­sociation.
I shall offer no
"constructive" criticism be­cause
I desire no construc­tion,
only destruction—the
destruction and abolition of
the SGA and its $$55,000 bud­get.
Article II, Section One of
the SGA Constitution reads
as follows:
"All registered students of
Auburn University at Au­burn,
Alabama are, upon
payment of the Student
Activities Fee, members of
this organization (i.e., the
SGA), such membership to be
subject to all rules and
regulations as may be herein
and hereafter enacted by this
organization."
As Section One is written, a
student must meet two re­quirements
for SGA mem­bership.
He must be a reg­istered
student, and he must
pay his Student Activities
Fee. As we all know, to be a
student one must pay $150
tuition. In that $150 is the
Student Activities Fee. Sec­tion
One implies that a stu­dent
may be registered and
not have paid the Student Ac­tivities
Fee. Everyone knows
this to be false (If you don't
think so, subtract the Stu­dent
Activities Fee from your
tuition for next quarter and
see how fast the good ladies
in the Coliseum concourse re­turn
your check.)
In order to be direct and
honest, Section One should
read, "all registered students
of Auburn University at Au­burn,
Alabama are members
of this organization." I do not
know the reason for Section
One being so wordy. Perhaps
it serves to dilute an other­wise
un-stomachable dose of
information. We are told in a
most circuitous manner that
to attend Auburn Universi­ty,
we must submit to mem­bership
in the SGA. This type
of coercion is well-known in
communist nations, as the
following empiricism:
"In order to hold a govern­ment
office, it is necessary to
be a member of the Com­munist
Party."
(I envision all the modula­ted
campus liberals shudder­ing
at such a ghastly ana­logy.)
I oppose and abhor this im­pressment.
I denounce my
membership in the SGA, and
I surrender all the rights
(none exist) granted me by
the SGA Constitution. I shall
take my chances with the
rights given me by the laws
and constitutions of the
United States and the State
of Alabama. I find them suf­ficient.
Since I am no longer a
member of the SGA, I res­pectfully
demand that the
portion of my Student Activ­ities
Fee that goes to the SGA
be taken from it, and used for
the education of Auburn stu­dents
(suggestion: give it to
the library), or returned to me
(make the check payable to
David Holt, freeman). I ex­pect
this procedure to be fol­lowed
for my remaining quar­ters
at Auburn. Having no
doubt that the SGA and
administration of Auburn
University are composed of
honorable men, I am con­fident
that my rightful de­mand
will be met with
courtesv and dispatch.

STUDENT STUDIES UNDER FAN
. . .Reader claims library atmosphere 'muggy'
library hot, humid'
Editor, The Plainsman:
Words like muggy, humid and stifling are usually used to
describe a sub-tropic or tropic environment. Auburn Univer­sity
Jias this condition year-round in the Ralph Brown
Draughon Library. There is an immediate awareness of the
extreme humidity and stuffy climate of this building the mo­ment
one enters the library. The library is supposed to be a
place of study, concentration and research and should be
reasonably comfortable; even Haley Center is not as stuffy
and humid as the library.
In winter, spring, summer and fall the high humidity and
heat cause very poor study conditions to say the least. Of
course the environment of the library cannot please every­one
but as it is now it pleases no one. We are hopeful some­thing
will be done about this situation to cut down on the
heat, humidity and stifling conditions that prevail in the
library.

'Editor confuses love and lust'
Editor, The Plainsman:
After reading the editorial, "Solomon's
Lust: An Underground Sunday School Les­son,"
I feel compelled to express an opinion.
Let me preface my remarks by saying that
the author's obvious interest in church at­tendance
and Bible study is surely to be com­mended.
However, I feel the conclusions he
reached are somewhat off base.
First, concerning the authorship of the
Song of Solomon, it is believed that the book
was written at a later time than Solomon's,
as was pointed out by Mr. Botsford. But the
opening remarks, "The Song of Songs, which
is Solomon's," is not to be taken as proof
against Biblical inspiration and truth. To
designate it as Solomon's can mean in the •
Hebrew that Solomon is the author or the
patron to whom the book is dedicated. The
latter is obviously the correct view. The same
principle can be seen in some of the Psalms
attributed to David. Many of these were not
written until after David's death. These
psalms are to be understood as dedicated to
David, rather than written by him.
Secondly, it should be recognized that the
Bible does not commend Solomon for his
many wives and sexual attitudes at all. The
Bible is a truthful work that honestly shows
the flaws in many of its characters. These
things are recorded for two reasons: that we
might realize there is grace and forgiveness
for our faults (Isaiah 1:18, John 6:37), and
that we might profit from the mistakes of
others (I Corinthians 10:11).
Thirdly, I feel that Mr. Botsford is confus­ing
the words "love" and "lust." While the
Bible warns of the destructiveness of lust, it
also tells of the delights of love. Nowhere
does the Bible condemn sexual love as it is
used within God's plan and purpose. God is
the author of sex, and commands that-it be
used within the marriage relationship:
Hebrews 13:4 says "Let marriage be held in
honor among all, and let the marriage bed be
'undefiled; for God will judge the immoral and
adulterous."
Only when God's gifts are taken, per­verted
and cheapened, are they bad. So let us
not take God's truth out of context to justify
our sin.

chiatric care, according to the scienti­fic
norm.
Therefore, the second experience des­cribed
above is a fly in the institu­tionalized
ointment of sensibility. (The
first is also troubling but society will
often excuse excesses of traditional re­ligious
enthusiasm.) Oh, what an em­barrassment!
Here we have a reason­able
individual—a young man who has
been spoonfed the gospel of science
since childhood—claiming he has been
visited by a demonic force.
A devout cultist once commented to
me: "The logical world comprehends
very little. A person who claims know­ledge
of the bizarre or the incredible
benefits by putting alleged unreality in
its public place—with dreams and fan­tasies.
Never should he provide psy­chological
specimens for the labora­tory
hacks. He should cover it up—call
it 'vivid imagination.' He should tell
them anything but the truth as per­ceived."
I have not fallen victim to devils or
spoken in the tongues of angels. But I
don't belittle the cultist's "truth as per­ceived."
Too many times I have ob­served
how the mind can wander, rede­fining
sensory perceptions that seem to
come from more than the five senses.
No drugs, no meditation courses, no
religious traumas are required—only a
mind that can wander.
I suppose I'm speaking of a very ill-defined
kind of loosely controlled ima­gination.
Some people obviously lose
control—like the student who claimed
to have experienced a demonic force.
But what causes loss of control? I hope
I never find out.
"The twilight zone"—an expression
from the realm of Rod Serling—is just
beyond the everyday frame of mental
reference. It's there, but try telling that
to the modern world at large.
Is Peace Corps
a way to
Consciousness III?
as suggested by Charles Reich
in "The Greening of America"
Empathetic. Individually expressive.
One-to-one. Non-organizational. . . .
These are some of the characteristics
of Consciousness III which Mr. Reich
ascribes to a growing number of to­day's
younger generation. Joining
the Peace Corps, according to him,
is one of the ways of breaking out of
the mold of the more conventional
Consciousness I and Consciousness II.
It will no doubt remain for history to
judge the validity of Mr. Reich's the­sis.
In our view, the Peace Corps'
potential for personal development
necessarily depends on the individual.
We can make no promises about the
ways to Consciousness III.
But what we can promise to every

Editor, The Plainsman:
In all the great works of
-literature I have read, there
has been one requirement of
the reader when he has
desired to benefit intel­lectually
from the book: he
must try to imagine what the
author is trying to put across
through his manipulation of
characters, images, meta­phors,
etc. In Freshman
English this is not the case:
the reader of a composition is
considered to have no ability
to comprehend what a writer
says metaphorically, ana­logically,
or allegorically. In­deed
we only learn how to
construct a precise-unified-complete
collection of "speci­fic
evidence" and examples
on a limited subject.
In my opinion, this prac­tice
could ruin an aspiring
writer. During the three quar­ters
of, "you must adjust to
writing the thesis essay," a
young writer could lose all his
metaphorical and allegoric­al
powers, not to mention his
creativity.
A specific example comes,
to mind (Please excuse the in­congruity
of the time shift):
William Shakespeare, aged
15, comes to Auburn Univer­sity
to become a writer.
Young Will, having made a
low score on his ACT test and
only fair grades in high
school because he was al­ways
daydreaming, is placed
in EH 101.
On his first theme, "Blue
Laws," Will writes a beauti­ful
poem about forces that go­vern
why he feels sad. He
mercial activities on Sun­day—
not the reasons why
you feel sad. For not adher­ing
to the assigned topic, and
for not having a clear thesis,
you receive an "F'. "
Young Shakespeare, being
an impressionable and
idealistic youth, says to
himself:
"Has all been a dream;
chariots of poetry carry not
with them wreaths of vic­tory,
but agonies of defeat. I
shall burn this vehicle, then,
and summon the thesis essay
to my aide."
Shakespeare then writes
an essay on, "Why we don't
need Blue Laws," full of a
clear thesis, specific evi­dence,
and even a contrast
and comparison between
Alabama and Georgia's blue
laws.v
Shakespeare finally grad­uates.
. .in business.
Billy Myles, 1GEH
turns it in with a great feel­ing
that his teacher must
really be smart to have
thought of such a beautiful
subject.
When Will gets his poem
back it has on it the follow­ing
comments:
"This is not a poetry
course, but a composition
course. Also, you lack an
understanding of the sub­ject—
tht: subject was blue
laws, or laws governing com-

We'll meet with college seniors
and graduate students on some 67
campuses this spring.
We're listening. To what new
engineers and computer science
graduates have to say. About their
goals. About their professional
responsibility to Spaceship Earth.
We're also talking. About the
opportunities at Boeing this year.
And the years that follow.
Frankly, we want the brightest
graduates in the country to be
inspired by our work and the
Boeing environment. To feel a
compatibility. And to rank Boeing
as No. 1 job choice.
Before we get together, you
should know a little about us.
Naturally, much of our business
is related to the airline industry.
Jetliner orders have come faster
than we ever predicted. Orders
from the 727-200 have passed the
1000 mark. We've sold ten 707s to
China. The 747 continues to be
queen of the sky. And we're
looking into a brand new jetliner
now labeled the 7X7.
Boeing is involved in a number
of defense programs, space
projects, development of a short
takeoff and landing (STOL)
aircraft, and missile and helicopter
production.
Boeing Computer Services, Inc.,
is concerned with general business
and financial systems, medical
systems, automated manufacturing
techniques, inventory management,
scientific and engineering problem
solving techniques and
computer operating systems.
We have also started programs
on: 1) people movers to help
unclog traffic problems in cities;
2) hydrofoils to move people and
freight over water faster;
3) reduction of aircraft noise; and
4) pollution control processes that
have application in desalination
and as treatment of industrial
waste. We are also at work on
programs that can lead to better
understanding of this planet's
natural resources.
If this sounds like the kind of
equal opportunity employer you're
looking for, let's get together at
the Placement Office.
Our interviewer will be on
campus next week interviewing
AE, EE and ME graduates.

love Story' author to speak
ERICH SEGAL
. H o r i z o n s III lecturer i s 4Love Story' author
Erich Segal, author of "Love Story,"
will lecture Tuesday, at 8 p.m., in the
Student Activities Building.
Segal, who is professor of com­parative
literature at Yale University,
also wrote the film script for "Yellow
Submarine," and other films. "Love
Story" received an Academy Award,
nomination, a Writer's Guild nomina­tion
and the Golden Glove Award for
the best screenplay of 1970.
In 1972, Segal covered the Munich
Olympics for ABC Television and
wrote and narrated "The Ancient
Games," a special re-creation of the
classic Greek pentathlon. He is ex­pected
to talk about the Olympics in his
Auburn appearance.
Segal received the A.B. and Ph.D. de­grees
from Harvard University, and in
1958 was chosen both Class Poet and
Latin Salutatorian, the only time one
man h a s received both honors.
Since his appointment of the Yale
faculty in 1964, Segal has lectured at
universities throughout the United
States, Europe and Japan, and
delivered papers before the American
Philological Association and the Amer­ican
Comparative Literature Associa­tion.
His publications include
"Roman Laughter" (Harvard Univer­sity
Press), a collection of essays on
Euripides; a translation of Plautus,
"The Death of Comedy," a study of the
comic tradition from Aristophanes to
Beckett, will appear this year.
He has published many articles and
reviews in academic journals and in
recognition of his scholarly work has
been awarded the Guggenheim Fel­lowship
and the Humboldt-Stiftung
(West Germany).
In 1971, Segal served as a juror in the
Arts and Letters Division of the
National Book Award. He was also a
juror at the Cannes Film Festival, the
first American to occupy the "writer's
chair."
President Nixon appointed Segal to
the National Advisory Council of the
Peace Corps in 1970, and later to its
Executive Committee. Last year he re­ceived
special Presidential commenda­tion
for his service.
Segal has also enjoyed a conspi­cuous
if undistinguished athletic
career. He has run numerous 26-mile
marathon races, including the Boston
Marathon which he has completed 16
times. He still trains when time allows,
with a "good day" meaning a 10-mile
run.
Segal's appearance at Auburn is
sponsored by Horizons III. The public
is invited to attend the lecture.

THE AUBURN PIAIN*MMI Thurs., Feb. 22, 1973 Page 8
by John Duncan
sports editor
DUNCAN
He lost his pants
What could be more embarrasing than to have someone
jerk your pants off while playing basketball in front of a
large crowd?
Auburn football coach Gene Lorendo once experienced
this weak feeling during a high school game in his home
state of Minnesota.
"That was the first time that my school had made it to the
regional tournament in some 13 years, and the gym was
packed," explained the Tiger offensive coordinator.
"In those days, we wore pants held up
by big buckles, which prevented you from
bending over and were always getting in
your way. So I kept mine unbuckled.
"Sometime during the game, I went up
for a rebound, and at the same time this
guy came up behind me and grabbed my
pants just as I went up to get the ball. Well
as things turned, he ended up dragging
my pants down to my ankles, but the im­portant
thing is that I got the ball,"
beamed the big man.
"I threw the ball to a teammate, pulled my pants up
and kept playing," continued the unphased athlete. Jane
(Mrs. Lorendo) still gives me a hard time about that."
After high school, it was on to the University of Georgia
with a football scholarship for the man who was destined to
become very respected figure among the Auburn people.
"I went to Athens in the "summer of '42," continued the
father of three. But the war came on and that kept me busy
for four years.
Lorendo later returned to Georgia. In addition to going
through four grueling hours on the gridiron in the autumn of
his freshman year under Coach Wally Butts, he also tried his
hand at playing college basketball at night under a gen­tleman
by the name of Ralph Jordan.
"Coach Jordan was as calm and collected on the basket­ball
court as he is now coaching football," explained
Lorendo. "He only had three scholarships to give out, and
under those circumstances he was doing quite a job with a
minimum of talent."
Hell of a competitor
Coach Jordan had some equally complimentary things to
say about his assistant coach as a basketball player. "Gene
was a hell of a competitor. He was quite an aggressive play­er
whose style of play brought about fights or near-fights.
But don't get me wrong, he was a pleasure to coach.
"He had a good outside shot, and he was also good on the
boards. The best way to describe him would be to call him a
good all around player."
The big man from "the land of 10,000 Jakes" had two
dreams he wanted to fulfill before he graduated from his
alma mater. One was to play football in a bowl game, which
he did three times as a first-string end. The other was to play
basketball in New York's Madison Square Garden.
"During my first year at Georgia, Coach Jordan took us up
to play St. Johns in the Garden. They had two All-Amer-icans,
one of which was Frank Maguire (former Philadel­phia
76er coach who now heads up the basketball program at
the University of South Carolina).
"They literally blew us out that night, but it's still quite a
memory."
The Bulldogs returned home to play in their own con­ference
which in those days, as is now, was usually
dominated by the Kentucky Wildcats and "the man in the
brown suit," Coach Adolph Rupp.
"Kentucky's five starters were so much better than anyone
else in the league that during my freshman year they had six
Ail-Americans, and the first squad of that year's All-SEC
team was the starting five for the Wildcats."
After his graduation a couple of years later, Lorendo went
on to coach Presbyterian College to an impressive 21-9 re­cord.
One of Lorendo's starting guards was Roy Skinner, who is
beat known for making an annual cage power out of the Van-derbilt
Commodores.
In March following his ulta-successful first season coach­ing
basketball, Lorendo received a call from his old basket­ball
coach to accompany him to Auburn as an assistant
football coach.
"I told him that it would be suicide to go down there be­cause
they had lost 10 games the year before," commented
the offensive coach.
"But he told me that the only way we could do any worse
would be to schedule 11 games and lose all of them."
Next fall, the Auburn Tigers take on 11 opponents, but
odds are that it probably won't be suicide. Lorendo doesn't
seem to think so anyway.

Undefeated grapplers
seeking SEC crown
By Bruce Lee
Assistant Sports Editor
After beating fine Florida
and Alabama teams by iden­tical
29-5 scores, Coach
Arnold "Swede" Umbach's
grapplers travel to Baton
Rouge Friday to participate
in the Southeastern Con­ference
Wrestling Tour­nament.
,
"It's unusual for a wres­tling
team to go undefeated,"
Coach Umbach said. "Even
Iowa State, the team that's
been beating everybody
around the country, got beat
last week by Oklahoma
State. I'm really proud of our
boys.
"In the SEC tournament, I
think any boy on the team
can finish in first place," the
"Swede" continued. "Of
course, that sort of thing
never happens. But then, it
could. I feel all of our boys
will place."
Because of its undefeated
record and the individual re­cords
of Auburn's wrestlers,
the Tigers should all be
seated in the first, second, or
third seats in the tourna­ment.
"We shouldn't have any
boys seated any lower than
the third spot," Coach Um­bach
commented. "I don'tsee
how the other coaches can
choose any other way.
"The seating is important
because it helps decide who
wrestles who and in what
order," Coach Umbach ad­ded.
Against Florida and Ala­bama
this past weekend,
there were several surprises,
both to Auburn fans and
Coach Umbach.
"I really didn't think we
would beat Florida and Ala­bama
by scores that big," the
Swede said. "After our earlier
performances, scores Hke
these came as a big welcome.
.In the SEC Tournament,
Auburn will be returning
three defending champions.
Trent Miller in the 142 lb.
class, Mike Roberts in the 167
lb. class, and George Callo­way
in the 190 lb. class will
again wrestle for honors
along with the other Auburn
grapplers. The other defend­ing
SEC champ i from Au­burn,
Bob Haun, is out with
an injured shoulder.
"I have high hopes for my
team again this year," Um­bach
emphasized. "I feel
we've got the balance needed
to win the conference crown
again this year.
"And the leadership, I be­lieve
it's superb. Mike Ro­berts,
the team captain, is in
my opinion, the outstanding
wrestler in the Southeast."
Lynn rumors denied
Rumors to the effect that the contract of Auburn
head basketball coach Bill Lynn would not be re­newed,
as reported by the Atlanta Constitution and a
host of other newspapers were denied by Auburn
athletic director Lee Hayley.
"There's nothing to the rumors," Hayley stated em­phatically.
"At the end of the year; we will sit down
with Coach Lynn and Dr. (Harry) Philpott (Auburn
president) and evaluate our basketball program. We
want to see what we can do to help.
"Since I came to Auburn from the University of
North Carolina, folks have been trying to put two and
two together," the Auburn athletic director continued.
"I have done no contacting with other coaches so far."

AUBURN'S STEVE BROWN REVERSES BAMA FOE
. . . Wrestler contributed in Tiger win
By J o h n Duncan
Sports Editor
Trying to figure out the
best way to spend his re­maining
two years of colle­giate
basketball eligibility
appears to be the foremost
concern for suspended Au­burn
forward Sylvester
Davenport.
"I haven't talked with any­one
about it," explained the
6'7" sophomore from his
home in Soddy Daisy, Tenn.
"But I'm going to see if Jack­sonville
(Fla.) University is
interested in me, and if they
are I'll try and enroll spring
quarter.
"If that doesn't work out,"
continued Davenport, "I'll
consider the possibility of
playing for Middle Tennes­see
(in Murfreesboro) or at
UTC (the University of Ten­nessee
at Chattanooga)."
Davenport then discusses
the secretive happenings of
last week that resulted in his
being ejected from the Au­burn
basketball team by
Tiger coach Bill Lynn.
"I just broke training rules,
and I guess they (referring to
the Auburn athletic officials)
felt like they were doing the
best thing.
"It happened all .df a
sudden and put me in an awk­ward
situation," continued
the special education major.

Freshmen players gain
maturity and experience
page 9 Thurs., Feb. 22, 1973
By Charlie Cox
Plainsman Sports Writer
With the introduction of
the freshman eligibility rule,
several freshmen have be­come
important parts of var­sity
teams. Maturity and ex­perience
have had to come
quickly for these few new­comers.
Bob Mandula, a 6'3" guard
from Gary, Indiana, and Bob
Bond, a 6'8" forward from
Bean Blossom, Indiana, have
found themselves in just such
a role. Along with highly ta­lented
Gary Redding, they re­present
the first three fresh­men
to play varsity basket­ball
at Auburn in quite a few
years.
Although Redding was ex­pected
to step into a varsity
role, Bond and Mandula have
accomplished what every in­coming
freshman athlete
hopes to do.
"I had, of course, hoped to
make the varsity, but I never
really expected to," -com­mented
Mandula, while Bond
said, "1 hadn't expected to
play varsity either, but after
the first couple of seeks of
practice, I realized that I
would get my chance."
In fact, if one does not
read from the basketball
program that both Mandula
and Bond are freshmen, then
it would most likely go unno­ticed.
Stepping from the high
school court directly onto the
major college basketball
court is a terrific change, a
change not on ly physical, but
to a large extent mental.
Bond reflected, "The pres­sure
is there because you are
a freshman playing against
guys older and more ex­perienced
than you." On the
other hand, Mandula said, "I
try not to think about any
pressures or disadvantages,
but only about playing my
best all the time."
Certainly for a freshman,
playing varsity ball presents
different problems than play­ing
high school ball. The
freshman year used to be the
year of transition from the
high school type of basket­ball
to the college system.
However, now these talented
freshmen are not afforded
such a luxury.
"In high school, you are
playing against one or
maybe two real good players,
while in college, you play
against five real good ones,"
remarked Mandula.
"Another problem," con­tinued
Bond, "is that the
older and more seasoned
players in the league know
more what to expect in cer­tain
situations and know
more of the ends and outs of
the league."
When asked how they felt
freshmen would affect the
league, Bond said that al­though
the majority of fresh­men
would not step right into
varsity competition, there
was no doubt that the out­standing
freshmen would
bolster the league.
Mandula agreed with
Bond, but also pointed out
that letting freshmen play
"would insure a stronger
league for one more year by
letting players play with
each other four years instead
of three."

FRESHMAN BOB MANDULA DRIVES ON FLORIDA
. . . Young guard h a s seen extensive duty
Intramurals
By Larry Gierer
Associate Sports Editor
After two more setbacks,
the Auburn Tigers will try to
get back on the winning path
against Vanderbilt Satur­day
night in Nashville and
then return home to face
Georgia Tech on Monday.
The Tigers lost last Satur­day
night to Alabama 87-75
in a game which saw the
Tigers fall behind the Tide by
22 points but with a great
exhibition of hustle pull the
game to within three points
before finally succumbing.
In that game, Coach Bill
Lynn played all 11 players he
took with him on the trip. The
Tigers were led by reserve
guard Tim Beavers with 15
points, 13 of those coming in
the second half. Gary Redd­ing
followed with 14 points
while Bob Bond had 12.
Last Monday night, the
Tigers saw a 44-41 halftime
lead disappear in a matter of
moments as they fell the Bull­dogs
of Mississippi State 94-
87. The game lead changed
hands several times, but
flawless foul shooting by the
'Dogs was the difference.
Rich Knarr, freshman sensa­tion
for State, hit 16 straight
free throws.
In a losing effort theTigers
were led by senior guard
Gary England having his
best night ever in an Auburn
uniform hitting 32 points.
Behind England was Gary
Redding with 18 and Albert
Johnson with 14.
The last time the Tigers
played Vanderbilt, they
pulled a major upset by beat­ing
the highly ranked Com­modores.
"We played 40 minutes of
good basketball the last time
we played them, and we'll
have to do it again if we have
any hope of winning," said
Coach Lynn.
Lynn commented, "This
Vandy team is a top conten­der,
and playing in Nash­ville
(they'll be extra tough.
The boys will have to play a
better game than they have
been playing to stay in the
game."
Auburn will be seeking re­venge
for a 90-83 loss in the
season opener when they
start a four game home stand
against Georgia Tech on
Monday.
Five teams still remain
unbeaten after six weeks
By J im Webster
Intramurals Editor
Intramural sports is cur­rently
in its sixth week of
competition, and in frater­nity
basketball five teams
still remain undefeated. They
include: League A, Div. 1,
LCA, 3-0; Div. 2, KA, 4-0.
League B, Div. 1, a tie
between PKT, 5-0, and DTD,
4-0. Division 2 is lead by TC
which is 4-0.
PKT kept its undefeated
status intact by beating stub­born
SP 56-51. Despite a poor
record of only 1-4, SP kept the
game close by utilizing its
height advantage. It looked
like an upset in the making
when SP took a 12-7 lead at
the quarter. But PKT came
storming back to take a 28-26
Girls win title
state tournament
By Charlie Rhodes
Plainsman Sports Writer
Auburn University's girls'
basketball team ran away
with the championship of the
first women's state tourna­ment,
and it wasn't even
close.
Although Auburn had lost
earlier in the season to a
couple of teams entered in the
state tournament at the Uni­versity
of Montevallo, they
were obviously in a class by
themselves this past week­end.
The closest game played
by the girls was in the semifi­nals
when they beat Monte­vallo
by 10 points. Monte­vallo
was one of the two
teams to beat the girls earlier
this season.
Auburn played Monte­vallo
again in the finals of
the 12 team double elimina­tion
tournament, this time
winning by 20 points.
Auburn's girls were led by
all tournament selection Rita
Clanton, a junior from Ope-lika,
but according to Coach
Aletha Bond, "We should
have had at least two more
girls make the seven-girl
team. Sandy Schaeberg
lead at halftime. White led
PKT in scoring with 18
points. He was followed by
Cams with 14 points. How­ever,
SP's Denis was the high
man in the game with 22
points.
In a closer game SAE kept
its League A, Div. 1 title
hopes alive with a 59-57
win over tough PKP. Had it
not been for SAE's height ad­vantage
PKP would have
probably won the game.
PKP was able to go out
ahead at the half 28-22. From
there it looked like any­body's
game, but SAE came
back to dominate the second
half and win. Perkins led the
SAE's with 21 points, fol­lowed
by Sarver with 14.
PKP's Phillipi was the high
man on his team with 19
points.
KA, 4-0 in League A, Div. 2,
defeated KS, 71-58, and ap­pears
headed for a show­down
with Div. 1 leader LCA.
Green tossed in 20 points.
Irwin scored 24. and Farmer
ended up with 14 points for
KA.
In a game between two
League B, Div. 2 powers, SPE
outscored undefeated OPP,
58-47, to lock up a tie with
OPP in Div. 2 at 3-1 all.
SPE's Jones had 22 points,
followed by Guy with 16, and
Edgar with 10. OPP was led
by Doctrie with 17 points, fol­lowed
by Cihie with 15.
DTD down ed PDT, 55-41, to
maintain a tie with PKT in
League B, Div. 1. DTD and
PKT appear headed for a
showdown.
In independent games last
week, the Hombres, unde­feated,
beat-the Mad Dogs 71-
61. The Mad Dogs record now
had dropped to 4-1. The
Hombres were paced by Jack­son
with 20 points, Hart 19
and Prince with 13 points.
In other action, DTD 55.

One aspect of the tourna­ment

Bond was the large margin of
victories in the games which
