City to have nine-man council;
could result in first black member

Plainsman Features Editor
Auburn will have a new form of the
nine man council government begin­ning
in October which could very like­ly
result in the election of the city's first
black council member.
This system was assured Tuesday

Downtown building
target of arson
during past week
By Larry Gierer
Plainsman Staff Writer
A building in downtown Auburn was
the target of two arson attacks last
week and police report they are expect­ing
still another possible attempt.
The Auburn Fire Department was
called upon to fight the second fire in
two nights at the Good Day Coffee
house on Gay Street at 12:59 last Thurs­day
morning.
Fire Chief Ellis Mitchell declared
that both fires had been purposely
started. "The fire was definitely start­ed
by a combustible liquid but we were
able to bring it under control before it
got out of hand," Mitchell added.
One Auburn student said he saw five
or six persons leaving from the rear of
the building shortly before the fire was
discovered. The only identification the
student could give was that the per­sons
had "long hair."
The first fire was started in the south
end of the building against a front wall
on the first floor. The second fire start­ed
on the second floor but this time on
the north end of the building. Smoke
and water damage was extensive.
According to police and fire depart-
(See page 5, col. 1)
elected at large, failed to receive the six
votes required for passage.
Since the city exceeded 20,000
population in the last census, state law
required that eight of the council mem­bers
could no longer beelected from
wards at large. The five member pro­posal
was an alternative method en­dorsed
by Council President Dan Hol-lis.
The city's first black candidate for
local office, Mrs. Frankie King, nar­rowly
missed winning a seat on the
council in the 1968 election while run­ning
at large.
With eight council members to be
elected by the voters of their own
wards in the Aug. 8 election, many ob­servers
feel that a black will have an
even better chance of being elected.
When the vote was taken, the neces­sary
six members did not support the
size reduction. Councilmen Tom Ed­wards,
Duncan Wright, Harvey Johns­ton,
W. H. Weidenbach and Dan Hollis
voted in favor of the proposal. Council-men
Hugh Reagan, Joe Hood, Wayne
Mitcham, and Paul Conner voted
against.
. In the 1968 election, Mrs. King led
incumbent councilman Duncan Wright
by 21 votes in the regular election, but
lost in a runoff, 1,034 to 831. Wright
won the seat from Ward 1, Place 2.
Wright led Mrs. King in the six boxes in
Wards 2, 3 and 4, but trailed in two
Ward 1 boxes.
At the Tuesday meeting, Mrs. King
said, "The ward system would give peo­ple
who have no representatives on the
council a chance to elect at least two
councilmen. We're talking about 35 per
cent of the people who have no repre­sentation
on the council at all."
In answer to her comment, Hollis
said, "I believe that this council has
tried as hard as it can to represent all of
this city."
Mrs. Bemice Jackson said, "I'm not
disagreeing that you have tried, but I'd
like to see some black people on the
council representing some white peo-
Mrs. Charles V. Lair, 687 Scotts-wood
Dr., read a statement from the
Auburn League of Women Voters. "In
our opinion a five man council elected
at large is not in the best interests of the
city. We stand for an informed voter
and for active participation in govern­ment
by all voters. We believe that this
can best be accomplished with the cur­rent
nine man city council with repre­sentatives
elected to represent each
ward," she said.
- Ian R: Hardin, Old Mill Road, said,
"A five man council would be a step
backward. There are different in­terests
in different areas of the town."
Mrs. Richard E. Amacher, 515 Au­burn

council. "I hope that when we vote for

MEMORANDUM:
FROM: Katharine Cater, Dean of Women and Social
Director
RE: Coed Visitation in the dormitory sections of fra­ternity
houses.
"Housemothers or appropriate chaperone substitutes
must be present in the fraternity house during the open
hours of visitation." Jan. 6,1972.
' If Dean Cater is trying the destroy the fraternity system,
she's going about it in the right way," an irate Auburn fra­ternity
brother bluntly stated when he read the memoran­dum.
But she's not. No such rule can be found in the AWS hand -
book. That ruling was sent to her from the Committee on Fra­ternities
by way of the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs for
Fraternities, E. Garth Jenkins.
The rule that "Young women students are permitted to vi­sit
in fraternity houses which have housemothers and which
have been approved: by the Committee on Fraternities..."
("Tiger Cub," p. 108) refers to the commons areas of the fra­ternity
houses only. The phrase, "which have housemoth­ers,"
had already been made into a regulation by the Com­mittee
on Fraternities before the above rule was enacted by
the Social Life Committee.
In the past several months, the fraternity system has been
evaluating its need for housemothers following complaints
by some of Auburn's fraternities. The dissident groups com­plained
that they could not afford to maintain a housemoth­er
with their limited funds and that their housemothers were
not performing the functions of a housemother as they
should.
Thus, the IFC Council of Presidents passed a resolution on
Jan. 25, 1972, stating, "that the employment of a house­mother
be optional with each fraternity and be the decision
of the student chapter and their alumni corporation or simi­lar
body."
At this time, nine fraternities do not have housemothers,
Alpha Epsilon Pi, Chi Phi, Kappa Alpha, Kappa Sigma, Phi
Delta Theta, Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Kappa Tau, Pi Kappa
Alpha and Tau Kappa Epsilon.
However, the resolution of the IFC Council ox Presidents
has not been adopted by the Committee on Fraternities and
has not been approved by President Philpott;
Auburn fraternities still must have housemothers and the
above mentioned nine fraternities are in definite violation
of this regulation.„
So, the housemother "edict," as some call it, is a fraternity
rule.not a women's rule.
In an interview with Dean Cater, she said, "My only pur­pose
in sending them(the two memoranda from the Dean of
Women's Office dated Jan. 6,1972) out is to inform young wo­men
of the situation to avoid getting themselves and the fra­ternities
into difficulty."
Dean Cater went on to say that she personally feels tnat
housemothers are one of the strengths of the fraternity sys­tem.
An Auburn coed said that fraternities without house­mothers
"just don't have the concern and pride they used to
have."
Many students are wondering why there are regulations
on girls visiting fraternity dorms and none on girls visiting
apartments or trailers.
In an interview, Tom Jones, IFC President, commented
that the main difference between the two is that of commu­nal
living. Auburn fraternity brothers are a lot closer than
the average Auburn male is to the guy who lives in the next
trailer or apartment.
An Auburn fraternity brother summarized the situation
this way: "In order to be judged as mature and allowed to
have coed visitation you must have a housemother. She
doesn't have to be there but you must have one hired. If you
haven't got one hired, you're immature and your coed visita­tion
privileges are taken away."
As for making sure that coeds don't visit fraternities with­out
housemothers, enforcement will have to be up to the fra­ternities
themselves. The office of women isn't large enough
to enforce the rule.
Auburn fraternities can enforce it, break it or change it.
Bennett's speech to highlight MUN
By Linda Parham
Lively Arts Editor
An address by Ambassador William
Tapley Bennett Jr. will highlight the
second annual Auburn Model United
Nations (AUMUN) which begins to­day.
Ambassador Bennett, Deputy Re-
Smith to retire
from dean's post
Dr. E. V. Smith, dean of the School of
Agriculture and director of the Agri­cultural
Experiment Station at Au­burn,
has announced that he will retire
June 30 after more than 40 years of
academic and administrative service
at Auburn.
Dean Smith made the announce­ment
at a special meeting of his faculty
in Comer Hall on Wednesday.
Auburn Pres. Harry M. Philpott, who
also attended the meeting, praised Dr.
Smith for his dedication to the develop­ment
of agricultural programs in teach­ing
and research over the years.
"Dean Smith, through his genuine
concern for those involved in agricul­tural
and related industries, has con­tributed
greatly to the economy of this
entire region. With his remarkable vi­sion,
he was able to keep step with the
times, involving his people in a variety
of research programs which have
gained national and international ac­claim.
"While Dean Smith has served some
two years beyond the point of eligibility
for full retirement, we deeply regret his
decision to end his outstanding career
at Auburn which has covered a span of
nearly 41 years. Few Auburn alumni
have given so much to their Alma
Mater and for this we are deeply grate­ful
to him," Dr. Philpott said.
Dr. Philpott said a six-man search
(See page 5, col. 2)
presentstive of the United States in the
United Nations Security Council, will
discuss "The United Nations: A Time
of Challenge" Friday at 2 p.m. in the
Auburn Union Ballroom. Bennett said
Tuesday that he will focus on the im­portance
of new problems, such as po­pulation,
drug control and environ­ment
on the V.N.
All interested students are invited to
hear Bennett speak on how the U.N.
has changed in procedure and struc­ture
over its 26-year history.
Bennett served as ambassador to the
Dominican Republic when American
troops intervened in 1965 and averted a
Communist coup. He then served as
U.S. ambassador to Portugal and last
year as State Department Ambassa­dor
to Air University in Montgomery.
The Georgia native is now chief as­sistant
to Ambassador George Bush,
U.S. representative to the United Na­tions.
At his U.N. post Bennett often
speaks for the United States in the Se­curity
Council.
Bennett will temporarily chair the
Model United Nations Secrity Council
after his address.
Assistant AUMUN Secretary-Gene­ral
Susan R. Owens, 3LPO, said, "Ben­nett's
speech and presiding over the Se­curity
Council sliould be one of the
most exciting events of the session."
About 200 students will debate inter­national
issues during the three-day
AUMUN. In addition to Auburn stu­dents
delegates will include 22 teams
representing 14 universities in Alaba­ma,
Georgia, and Florida.
Foreign students from almost every
Latin American country,P.akistan, In­dia
and the Philippines will take part in
the AUMUN. Soma of these students

Symphony to appear Tuesday at Auburn
By Linda Parham
Lively Arts Editor
The National Orchestra of Belgium,
one of Europe's reigning musical orga­nizations,
will bring a varied reper­toire
to Auburn Tuesday on its first tour
of the United States.
The Orchestra will be presented by
the Auburn University Concert Com­mittee
at 8:15 p.m. in Memorial Coli­seum.
Since its debut in 1936, under the pa­tronage
of Queen Elizabeth of Bel­gium,
the symphony has emerged in
the front ranks of Europe's musical
scene.
Under the direction of Michael Gie-len,
the Orchestra will perform "Nacht-musik"
by Laporte, suite from "The Mi­raculous
Mandarin" by Bartok, and
Stravinsky's "Le Sacre du Printemps"
(Pictures of Pagan Russia).
Maestro Gielen made his debut in the
United States as guest conductor with
the New York Philharmonic in 1971.
Before he was appointed Director of
the National Orchestra of Belgium in
1969, Gielen served as conductor of Bue­nos
Aires' Teatro Colon and Stock­holm's
Royal Opera House.
Gielen has attracted international
attention with his stunning interpreta­tions
and has become a much sought-after
guest conductor of opera and sym­phony
all over Europe and South
America.
"Nachtmusik,?1 according to its com­poser,
is based on the conflict between
two different concepts of night. He us­es
two types of opposing composition to
translate the concept of night as a cos­mic
event in the "time" dimension in
one place and also as a subjective
"human" phenomenon.
"The Miraculous Mandarin" was
written as a pantomine in one act. The
ballet had few successful revivals after
it was first performed in 1925 because of
its lurid story of three tramps who force
a girl to lure prospective victims from
the street.
The concert version of the ballet,
which omits two episodes and the fi­nale
of the original score, is an orches­tral
tour de force which calls for a large
and highly virtuosic ensemble.
"Le Sacre du Printemps" is an epic
masterpiece which relies on the direct­ness
of its highly descriptive music for
transition between its two separate sec­tions,
'The Adoration of the Earth"
and "The Sacrifice."
"Le Sacre," basically a series of pri­mitive,
ritual dances, caused a near riot
when first performed in Paris in 1913.
The National Orchestra of Belgium,
which gives 120 concerts a year in Bel­gium,
arid conducts concert tours" ac­ross
the continent, has received ac­claim
for their recordings. The Orches­tra
has developed a vast and varied re­pertoire
which ranges from Beethov­en,
Haydn and Brahms to Ravel,
Strauss and Debussy to Stravinsky,
Milhaud and Hindemith.
Auburn students will be.admitted
free to the concert on presentation of
their student I.D. cards.
General admission for faculty, staff
and townspeople will be $2.50. Tickets
are on sale in room 306 of the Auburn
Union and will be on sale at the door
the night of performance. Hotioiiol Orchestra of Bel§ium

Religion decision
expected this month
A decision about the forma­tion
of a Department of Reli­gion
at Auburn is expected
sometime this month from
President Harry M. Philpott.
In making his decision, Dr.
Philpott is considering such
factors as the University bud­get,
student support for a de­partment
and opposition
from the Department of Phi­losophy.
A resolution calling for the
establishment of a Depart­ment
of Religion was passed
by the Student Senate fall
quarter and a study commit­tee
was formed. The commit­tee
conducted a student opin­ion
poll which indicated that
72 per cent of the students are
in favor of having a depart­ment
of religion, 57 per cent
are interested in taking Reli­gion
courses and 24 per cent
have already taken some
courses.
Further encouragement for
the department has come
from various student organi­zations,
according to Jerry
Batts, chairman of the study
committee. The IFC, Panhel-lenic
Council, AWS and ODK
have all passed resolutions
calling for the establishment
of a department. Also, 1500
names have been gathered on
petitions.
The Department of Philo­sophy
does not advise form­ing
a separate Department of
Religion at Auburn. Dr. Ro­bert
V. Andelson, associate
professor of Philosophy, has
said "Strengthening a curri­culum
of religion can do
much to elevate the moral
and spiritual tone of a uni­versity,
and with that objec­tive
I am in full accord."
However, he does not see
the likelihood of a Depart­ment
of Religion becoming
strong here, for various rea­sons.
One is that the Ameri­can
Association of Theologi­cal
Schools encourages pre-seminarians
to major in phi­losophy,
history, psychology
and sociology instead of reli­gion.
Therefore, he does not
see why Auburn should offer
an undergraduate major in
religion.
If, in spite of this, such a
major is deemed desirable, it
could be offered through an
interdepartmental pro­gram,"
Andelson said, "as is
done at Stanford, Michigan,
Indiana and elsewhere."
Interdepartmentalization
would lessen the possibility
that a program of religion
studies would become domi­nated
by any one school of
thought or theological orien­tation,
Andelson believes.
Under such an arrange­ment,
Biblical literature and
religion in literature would be
taught in the English De­partment,
sociology of reli­gion
in the Sociology Depart­ment,
and philosophy of reli­gion,
comparative religions,
history of Christian thought
and Christian ethics in the
Philosophy Department.
Also, Andelson points out
the fact that other schools in
the Southeast have strong
Departments of Religion al­ready,
which would further li­mit
the effectiveness for a se­parate
department here.
Such schools include Miss.
State, the University of Vir­ginia,
the University of Flo­rida,
Florida State Universi­ty,
the University of Tennes­see
at Knoxville, UAT and
the University of Georgia.
Presently at Auburn, four
courses in Religion are offer­ed,
and attendance in these
courses has not been so great
that it could not be handled
by the staff according to An­delson.
Three of the courses
are in the Department of Phi­losophy;
the other is in Socio-

Pat Paulson entertains audience
with movies, satirical humor
By Royce Harrison
Plainsman Staff Writer
Republican, (yes, Republi­can)
Presidential Candidate
Pat Paulsen squeezed in 10
minutes of homemade
movies along with a full
range of views on the major
issues of the day in his 80-
minute show on campus
Tuesday night. . j .
His humor was at times
spontaneous, and was al­ways
funny and satirical. His
antics and play on words
kept a crowd of about 5,000 in
constant uproar.
"America has produced a
generation of young stu­dents
who are revolting," he
said.
"But are today's college-age
students really alienated
from their pigs...uh,
parents."
"I spent the day talking to
some of you students and
found out that 48 per cent dis­like
the President and 47 per
cent dislike the Democrats,
and the rest of you aren't very
fond of Dean Cater. I don't
know, he's probably a nice
guy!
"Why punish the 'Chica­go
Seven' and turn around
and reward the Indianapolis
500."
Recurrently, Paulsen's jok­ing
drifted back to politics.
Despite the impression he
might have given during his
show or in other appearanc­es,
Paulsen insists that he is
serious about his candidacy
for the White House. He is on
the Republican ballot in the
New Hampshire primary, he
says, and is pushing a cam­paign
of honesty.
"If you line up the Republi­cans
and the Democrats, and
look underneath, they look
pretty much the same.
"In our system there are
checks and balances. They
give you the vote, then give
you candidates like Hubert
Humphrey. If that's the case,
I say they should have lower­ed
the drinking age instead."
As a candidate for the
White House, Paulsen has a
three-part platform. The first
part is to halt the Vietnam
War with settlement agree­able
to both sides. "It won't
be easy," he grins.
Second, he would abolish
the income tax and substi­tute
a tax on sex. "In other
words, you pay for play. Of
course, some people will be
willing to pay until it hurts.
"Third, I'll give you what­ever
you want. If you want
promises, I'll give you pro­mises.
If you want results, I'll
give you promises."
Beneath his raven rhetor­ic,
however, is a man with se­rious
feelings against hypo­crisy,
current foreign policy,
drugs and war.
A short movie he showed
criticized the prohibition of
marijuana while alcohol and
tobacco, two equally dange­rous
drugs in terms of scien-tific
proof, are legal. How-

ever, the film was no en­dorsement
of marijuana, but
a "broad statement on hypo­crisy."
The star of the movie
was Pat.
When asked to give his
stand on drugs during a rap
session in Eagle's Nest after
the show, Paulsen said he is
against drugs. About grass,
he said, "I can get a lot more
enjoyment out of walking
through a field of wild flow­ers
than by smoking them."
"As far as foreign aid goes,
I would like to see the aid here
for a change. Money for the
space program could also be
spent on our most pressing
problems."
On war, Paulsen asks
"Why do men have to grow
up, fight and die for their
country." War should stop, he
feels, and would stop if there
was a strong United Nations
with a worldwide peace-keep­ing
force.
Back to a lighter vein, he
said he is also running his
campaign on personal ex­penses.
"In fact, I might just
be the best candidate be­cause
I was able to make
money off my '68 satirical
campaign."
Commenting on the new
morality, Paulsen said he is
glad that scientists have fi­nally
disproved the theory of
the stork. "I'll bet you didn't
know that in 1955, a scientist
proved that it would take a
stork with a 18-foot wing span
to deliver a six-pound baby."
But remember, in the clev­er
words of that unique
statesman, Pat Paulsen, "For
centuries to come, years will
pass."

Hearing registers complaints
on medical facilities
The Student Senate held a
public hearing Monday on
the present medical facilities
at Drake infirmary. From the
20 students present there
were many complaints in
connection with the infirma­ry
and its staff.
One married student re­ported
that she went to the in­firmary
complaining of sto­mach
pains which were diag­nosed
as gas. When the pain
did not subside she was tak­en
to Lee County Hospital
where it was diagnosed as a
gall bladder infection. She
was rushed into surgery there
a few hours later.
Rudeness was also among
the most frequent of com­plaints
along with incompe­tent
diagnoses.
Speaking for the Senate
was Don Haisten, senator
from the School of Pharma­cy.
Haisten said that he had
made a comparative study of
medical services available at
over 60 universities of a simi­lar
size to Auburn. He said
that the results of his study
indicated that the medical si­tuation
at Auburn is much in­ferior
to other universities its
size.
Haisten added that the Se­nate
was attempting to im­prove
the situation. Last
week resolutions were pas­sed
asking that the Universi­ty
invite the American Col­lege
Health Association to
evaluate the infirmary, pro­posing
the establishment of a
student-operated dispensary
to be run by the School of
Pharmacy and urging that
President Philpott increase
the amount of study being
conducted on the infirmary.
The medical situation at
Auburn was unfavorably
contrasted by Haisten with
the one existing at the Uni­versity
of Alabama. The staff
at Alabama includes six spe­cialists,
two general practi­tioners,
and one administra­tor
who is also a doctor. They
are budgeted at $500,000 per
year as compared with
$325,00 per year at Auburn.
The question was raised as
to whether the student body
would be willing to pay addi­tional
money required for an
increased infirmary budget.
One student in the audience
suggested that the money
coming from the I.D.'s of stu­dent
wives could be used for
this purpose. Approximately
24 per cent of the student bo­dy
is married.
Students with specific com­plaints
about the Infirmary
should contact the Ombus-man
or get in touch with their
senator.

Village Mall opens'73
Construction is scheduled
to begin in August on a new
$5-million regional shopping
center to be located within
the Auburn city limits at the
old Dairyland Farm site on
Ppelika Road.
" With 22 of the 38 store spac-fes
already definitely leased,
the mall-type center is plan­ned
to begin operations in
August of 1973.
To be named Village Mall,
the center will be built and
^operated by Colonial Proper­ties,
Inc., whose president
'predicted that the first year's
business will amount to some
$15 million. Physical capabi­lities
will permit gross busi-neJl
in excess of $50 million
annually, he added.
Official announcement of
the center, to consist of
288,313 square feet of gross
leasable area was made last
week before a luncheon of 160
ptofye in the Union Ball­room.
The center will be located
on the Dairyland Farms pro­perty
north of the Opelika
road, diagonally across from
the Auburn-Opelika Drive-in.
Access to the mall will be
from the Opelika road by a
section of Auburn's loop road
that has yet to be completed.
The two largest spaces will
be occupied by Gayfer's
Montgomery Fair and by
Sears, Roebuck and Co.
which will cover 90,000 and
70,000 square feet respective­ly.
Three Auburn firms have
also signed leases; They are
Polly-Tek, Ware Jewelers and
Sons and Harwell, Ltd.
What the Village Mall will
mean to Auburn, economi­cally,
is contained in these fi­gures.
Colonial Properties
will invest $5 million in con­struction
and scores of work­men
will be employed in the
building stage. The stores oc­cupying
space in the center
will create new jobs employ­ing
upwards of 300 people.
The sales from the mall are
expected to produce $150,000
in sales tax revenue annual­ly.
The city will receive
another $23,000 from its
share of the ad valorem tax­es,
with a major portion go­ing
to local education.
Another $5,000 or more is ex­pected
to be collected through
the occupation tax.

Dr. William Davis --'outspoken on many issues'
By Larry Gierer
Plainsman Staff Writer
If appearances are as de­ceiving
as they are reputed to
be, one could be easily fooled
by Dr. William Davis, profes­sor
of philosophy.
He is a man of relatively
small frame, with wire rim­med
glasses, bow tie, compa­ratively
short hair and dres­sed
in clothes that suggest
the early 60's.
Davis himself says that
when he began teaching he
was often mistaken for a
freshman. He added , how­ever,
that things have im­proved
since then and that
now most people think he is a
sophomore.
But as a teacher of philoso­phy,
as faculty adviser to the
student chapter of the Ameri­can
Civil Liberties Union
and as instructor in the Ex­tracurricular
Studies Pro­gram,
Davis is outspoken on
many issues.
"Auburn and other schools
like it will never be first rate
universities until proper em­phasis
is put on Arts and Sci­ences."
Davis also said that there
has been a lot of confusion in
educational circles recently
concerning whether univer­sities
should emphasize
training for a vocation or em­phasize
the "transmission of
culture" to the student.
"Schools should educate in
a broader sense and job train­ing
should be left up to the bu­sinesses
and industries.
When a person finds a job,
the company usually teaches
him all he needs to know in a
few weeks anyway."
Davis graduated with ho­nors
from Abilene Christian
College and later received his
doctorate in Philosophy from
Rice University. He has been
teaching at Auburn since
Sept., 1969.
He felt that everyone
should take a philosophy
course because the subject
"enriches the spirit and giv­es
people perspective.
Everyone should have a
chance to be exposed to the
ideas of Western civilization.
Philosophy is potentially the
most broadening subject the
school teaches."
Davis said that in some
schools today students are
not even required to take a
course if they can pass a test
AWS makes changes in Judiciary set-up
The Judiciary Study Com­mittee
of Associated Women
Students (AWS) is currently
establishing changes in
many of the basic concepts
underlying the workings of
the newly renamed Disci­pline
Council.
Changes which have thus
far been passed concerning
membership on the body read
as follows:
The council shall be com­posed
of nine voting memb­ers;
these will include two re­presentatives
from each class
and the Chairman of Judici­ary.
Freshman members will
be appointed winter quarter
instead of spring quarter as
previously stated.
The vice-president and the
secretary of AWS shall serve
as voting, ex-officio memb­ers.
The AWS secretary shall be
responsible for keeping re­cords
of the cases and deci­sions
of the council. She
should give written notice of
the penalty to the student
and to the student's head re­sident.
New members must attend
a training session before
serving on the council.
A member of the council
shall maintain at least a 1.0
overall scholastic average
while serving on the council.
All members of the council
are required to attend the
AWS workshop.
The council will conduct a
rules review at the beginning
of each fall quarter.
Concerning the office of
chairman of Judiciary, the
following changes have been
initiated:
A chairman and assistant
chairman shall be elected by
the members of the old coun­cil,
including anyone who
has ever served on judiciary
and the chairman shall be a
member who has served at
least two quarters on the
council.
The chairman shall be a
voting member of the AWS
Legislative Council. The ori­ginal
recommendation that
she be a non-voting member
was defeated.
The chairman shall pre­side
over all the council meet­ings.
The assistant chairman
shall meet the qualifications
of the chairman and shall
preside over council meet­ings
in the absence of the
chairman.
The chairman shall be res­ponsible
for collecting rules
violations reports and noti­fying
the student at least 20
hours in advance of the time
and place of the proceedings.
The chairman shall inform
her in writing of her rights re­garding
the proceedings.
Failure to fulfill any of the
prescribed responsibilities as
chairman or as a member of
the council shall make her
subject to removal from the
council according to removal
procedures.
and prove that they know the
material. "Just sheer compe­tence
in math could get a stu­dent
through certain courses
here at Auburn."
When asked about the le­vel
of teaching in America
Davis replied, "teaching as it
is done today in this country
is at the witch doctoring le­vel."
He added that he does
not know the solution to the
problem, but that the field of
teaching has every room for
improvement.
On the matter of voter re­gistration
the instructor was
eager to give his opinion.
"When people try to make it
difficult for students to vote,
they are in fact betraying de­mocracy."
Beside his regular teaching
duties, Davis is also the
group leader in the ESP
course, "Appreciation of
Country Music."
The course is concerned
with "folky type music," par­ticularly
fiddle, banjo and
blue grass. He emphasized
that "no 'Nashville Sound' is
discussed because all Nash­ville
stuff is pure crud, musi­cally
speaking."
He said that his main qua­lification
for teaching the
course is that he has a large
collection of records. "Most of
the course is just listening
and enjoying with very little
lecture."
Talking about his own per­sonal
philosophy of life, the
professor said that he is a dis­ciple
of Thomas Traherne a
seventeenth century Christ­ian
writer who felt that if you
looked at the world properly
you could be in paradise, the
secret being in the proper ap­prehension
of things.
Davis said that the best
thing about teaching philo­sophy
is that it is recreation
for him. "I would read philo­sophy
even if I worked in a
supermarket."

Consumer Relations
Establishment of communication beneficial
Lawyer Ted Little was hired by t he
University last year to help counsel
students with legal problems. Since
coming to Auburn, Little h a s been a
busy man. He h a s received hundreds
of complaints and questions from
students who feel that their legal
rights have been violated in some
way. *
The problems students have in this
area are numerous. One student
reported recently t h a t $20 was deduc­ted
from his deposit when he moved
out of an apartment because of one
broken window pane which he could
have replaced himself for ap­proximately
65 cents.
Another student took his car to a
garage in Auburn and left if for an
estimate on repairs. When he re­turned,
the garage had done $120
worth of work on the car. When he re­fused
to pay, t he garage refused to re­turn
his car.
To help solve some of these pro­blems,
the Student Government As­sociation
h a s come up with a n idea for
a "Consumer Relations Board." The
board would be divided into three
major branches—a research board,
and arbitration board and a commit­tee
to hear and investigate com­plaints.
The research branch would check
i n t o problems that students
constantly complain about such as
high prices and housing difficulties.
SGA Pres. Jimmy Tucker says this
branch might do such things as make
price comparisons on clothes, apart­ments
and food. The results of these
studies would be made available to
students.
The grievances board would be
made up of three or four students who
would meet periodically to hear com­plaints
from students and would then
attempt to investigate the problem
and negotiate its settlement.
Any problems that couldn't be
solved through negotiation would be
referred to an arbitration board con­sisting
of three students, three local
businessmen and one faculty mem­ber.
Tucker hopes t h a t a n arrangement
can be made with the Auburn Cham­ber
of Commerce so t h a t the decision
of this arbitration board would be
binding on both parties in a dispute.
He feels that the chamber will co­operate
and like the idea because it
would help clear the names of those
businessmen that really are doing
an honest and fair job. I t would also
help eliminate unfair business prac­tices
in the area which would benefit
fair merchants.
We strongly support the formation
of such a board and hope the Cham­ber
of Commerce will see t he benefits
and support the plan.
Health Services
Twenty students turned out Mon­day
afternoon for the Student Se­nate's
public hearing on health ser­vices
and there were a number of va­lid
complaints.
One married student, for example,
said that she once visited the infirma­ry
to complain of stomach pains
which were diagnosed as gas. Later,
when the pains continued, she went to
the Lee County Hospital where she
was rushed into surgery for a gall
bladder infection. There were several
other complaints of incorrect diag­noses.
The staff at Drake Infirmary is not
incompetent. The doctors and nurses
there are well qualified for their jobs
and no doubt do the best they can with
a limited staff and limited facilities.
For every student that has a com­plaint
about the infirmary, there are
several others who are perfectly sa­tisfied
with treatment they have re­ceived
there.
Nevertheless, with this number of
complaints there must be a problem.
And indeed there is. The problem is
that Drake Infirmary is just what its
name implies—an infirmary. And
with a growing University such as
Auburn, what is needed is a complete
health center.
The administration recognizes this
need but a t present claims t h a t funds
are not available to expand the infir­mary
to such a health center.
We feel t h a t if the University admi­nistration
were to conduct a tho­rough
study of health needs and faci­lities
a t Auburn, they would see the ur­gent
need for expansion and would be
able to find funds for the job.
Two resolutions adopted by t he Stu­dent
Senate at its last meeting con­cerning
health services could be parti­cularly
beneficial if approved by Pre­sident
Philpott.
The Senate in one recommendation
asked the administration to institute
any new action which could bring to
rapid completion any studies pre­sently
being conducted concerning
health services a n d to implement a ny
recommendations resulting from
these studies. A thorough look at
health services is definitely in order.
The other recommendation con­cerned
a specific step t h a t could be
taken immediately to broaden health
services. The Senate recommended
that the School of Pharmacy set up a
pharmaceutical dispensary to be ope­rated
jointly with the school's educa­tional
program as^a laboratory expe­rience.
The reasons for such a recommen­dation
t h a t were noted by the Senate
include the facts t h a t good health ser­vices
include good pharmaceutical
services and t h a t such a dispensary
operated by students would benefit
the instructional program of the
School of Pharmacy.
Last year the University received
$4 million from the State Legislature
to fund new facilities for t he School of
Pharmacy. The $4 million was re­quested
to cover the cost of moving
the school to the Montgomery cam­pus
but t he Legislature ordered t h a t it
remain on the main campus.
Thus we received a good bit of mon­ey
t h a t wasn't really requested if the
school is to remain on this campus.
A thorough study of health servic­es
and the immediate step of setting
up a dispensary in t he School of Phar­macy
are two significant things t h at
need to be done to meet the growing
demand for health services at Au­burn.
Ground Hog Day
Wednesday was Ground Hog Day
and with gloomy skies overhead in
Auburn, there is little doubt t h a t our
friend had a hard time finding his
shadow. According to the legend,
, spring should now be on the way.
Those of us who place a lot of stock
in such legends and superstitions are
having a particularly hard time fal­ling
for it this year. The weather in
Auburn has been somewhat out of
character lately with temperatures
rapidly rising and falling and cool
clear days turning into rainy cold aft­ernoons.
Government meteorologists said
last week that unusual antics of the
jet stream are responsible for t h e er­ratic
weather this winter. They say
the stream, a 300-mile-an-hour river of
air high above the earth, is north of its
normal position as i t passes over the
Southeastern portions of the nation..
The results of all this have been
such oddities as circus elephants suf­fering
frostbitten ears and feet in a
major October snowstorm in Wyo­ming
and t he sudden blooming of Ja­panese
cherry trees during the Christ­mas
season in Washington.
We hope the gruund hog supersti­tion
is correct, though. Because the
cold and the rain and tne changing
weather have left many of us with
wicked colds and touches of fever.
We'll welcome some spring weath­er
when bicycles and frisbees can be
pulled out of hibernation and cold
capsules can be stored away for
another year.
THE AUBURN PUIN*MM
We kid him all the time about
having "sold out to the esta­blishment."
He was a student leader at
Auburn a few years ago and
was a part of that era when the
administration was consider­ed
the avowed enemy of pro­gress
and change. President
Philpott was probably glad to
see him graduate. He worked
more or less "within the sys­tem"
while at Auburn but was
loud enough to shake that sys­tem
up a good bit before he left.
When he graduated, he slid
into a career which he himself
would have criticized six
months earlier. He took one of
those middle management
trainee positions with one of
those giant international cor­porations
that make up what
he once called "the establish­ment."
Psychologists tell us that
adults usually interpret cur­rent
issues on the basis of their
experiences during the "for­mative
years" of the late teens
and early twenties. If this is
the case, one wonders how our
former campus radical can
possibly fit into his present po­sition
in life.
The truth is, he cannot. He
said last week that he is think­ing
seriously of quitting his
present job to come back to
school. He says he simply
doesn't fit in.
He might be right. It might
be that nothing could ever
make him fit the job.
It is more probable, though,
that the problem is one of com­munication.
He went through
college at a time when stu­dents
were questioning the va­lues
of our business-oriented
society. His employers are the
type that are gung-ho for the
company.
This former campus radical
is not an example of a commu­nication
problem that exists
simply between young and old
or right and left as many
would have us believe. To at­tempt
to divide society into two
groups is too simple.
The truth is that our society
is fragmented into an almost
infinite number of groups and
individuals whose experienc­es
during their formative years
were so different that commu­nication
among them is al­most
impossible.
This lack of communication
is certainly not a new pro­blem.
It is one that has pla­gued
mankind throughout his­tory.
But today the problem is
more serious than ever before
and threatens to destroy us.
Many have enough confi­dence
in the American system
and its political process to
think that we will not be des­troyed
by our inability to com­municate.
These optimists, I
think, are ignoring such
events in recent history as the
killing of four students at Kent
State or the assasination of
John F. Kennedy. These
events ignoring all other evi­dence,,
suggest to me that our
society has reached a point
where we must make a con­scientious
effort to under­stand
and therefore to commu­nicate.
Our society today, with its
incredible mobility and in­stant
transfer of information
through the media, has gotten
to the point where everyone
, knows immediately what is go­ing
on all over the world.
Ironically, this ability to ra­pidly
move people and infor­mation
has hindered rather
than strengthened communi­cation.
The college student who is
against the war in Vietnam
can turn on his television at
night and learn what happen­ed
in the fighting that day and
learn also that an anti-war ral­ly
has been planned for the fol­lowing
weekend in Washing­ton.
Armed with his youth-fare
card, he can quickly make his
'WHAT A HORRI&LE WEAPON/"
A quest editorial
way to Washington along with
thousands of others who hap­pen
to agree with him.
The rapid flow of informa­tion
and easy mobility can be a
good thing for any society. It
can, for example, let our
government know what the
people think and want. But the
kind of information one can
gain from reading a newspap­er
or watching the news is
hardly enough to give anyone
a thorough understanding of
the people that make the news
and why they act as they do.
If we are to avoid destroying
ourselves, we must somehow
solve the problem of communi­cation
gaps that have always
plagued mankind.
The problem is not a simple
one and there is no easy solu­tion.
There is though, a step
which each of us could take to
help break down some of the
barriers of communication.
If people would constantly
make an effort to understand
groups or individuals that they
disagree with, communica­tion
would be a lot easier.
If, for example, our former
campus radical that is now a
member of the establishment
was to study the people for
whom he works and try to find
out what really makes them
tick, he would have a lot easier
time communicating with
them.
The leaders of his corpora­tion,
on the other hand, must
make a similar effort to under­stand
his frame of orientation
so that they might communi­cate
better with him.
I am not by any means at­tempting
to say that because
they could communicate, these
particular parties could or
should ' ever come to agree­ment.
Understanding is not in­compatible
with disagreeing.
But perhaps if both parties
could come to understand one
another, the lines of communi­cation
would at least be open.
If communication was esta­blished,
it could have a tre­mendous
beneficial effect.
Real communication, first and
foremost, eliminates the emo­tional
aspects of differences of
opinion. It enables both sides
in an argument to look at the
problem rationally.
When problems are looked
at rationally by two parties, it
is amazing how often they will
come to the same or similar
conclusions. And even if they
can't agree, they can often
compromise on many things
without either party having to
give in on basic principles.
Thorn Botsford
Music quarrel
We received a letter this
week from three students be­moaning
the fact that our
music poll, which so far has at­tracted
little interest, did not
include categories for "serious
music," Broadway show
music, "true" folk music and
easy-listening (elevator)
music. The readers also
criticized radio station WEGL
for not programming "a wide
selection of music."
True, the music poll ballot
which appeared in the Jan. 20
issue did not include cate­gories
that would directly in­duce
participation by the
"serious" music buff. That
omission was simply an over­sight
which needs to be cor­rected
if the poll is conducted
next year. Nevertheless, no­thing
should prevent these
readers from casting a vote,
say, for Glenn Gould in the
piano category, the late Igor
Stravinsky in the composer
category, or Walter Carlos, the
synthesizer genius, in the mis­cellaneous
instrument cate­gory.
The letter is especially
valuable for the questions it
provokes concerning radio
time for a variety of music.
Should campus station WEGL
play on] y what is most popular
among the majority of stu­dents?
Should the station play
"a wide selection of music"
even when some music will
alienate more listeners than it
entertains? Should the sta­tion,
which does not depend
upon advertising, recognize
what some believe to be a
"cultural obligation" and
broadcast music considered
"superior" in the eyes of
prominent music critics?
There are no easy answers to
those questions. "Good
music," if we are honest, is a
very arbitrary thing. Jazz
pianist Thelonious Monk puts
this fact in perspective: "What­ever
is pleasing to the ear is
good music. If it sounds right
to you, it's good." That's a fact
of life for everyone, although
some, through perseverance,
make themselves listen to "dif­ficult"
(i.e. initially un­pleasant)
music, learning to
appreciate the sounds in ques­tion.
For the most part, WEGL
management plays only what
it believes is "good music" to
the majority of its audience.
Naturally, the station has a
desire to maintain a constant
level of student support, an
important factor in the
procuring of future fina'tic'lal
bonuses from the Student
Senate Budget and Finance
Committee.
WEGL probably ignores,
however, a sizable minority oi
people with specialized tastes.
To serve these listeners, the
station could devote hour-long
programs every week to
"serious" music, jazz, blues,
country and folk music. Al­though
the majority would pro­bably
prefer full time popular
music, intelligent and enter­taining
formats could perhaps
induce some of the mass to lis­ten
to something different.
But WEGL, like The Plains­man,
should have no "cultural
obligation" to meet. That at­titude,
quite simply, is not
practical and, in the long run,
implies an arrogance of
sorts—"our music is better
than your music because we
say it is."
WEGL, then, should at-1
tempt to satisfy the wide
variety of tastes on campus,
but certainly it should not play
polkas, for example, solely be­cause
some critic contends
they are an integral part of
German culture.

and unemployment levels. The
relationship has historically
been an inverse one, and stu­dies
have shown, except for
limited departures therefrom,
that an optimum solution
might be to accept limited in­flation
with limited amounts
of unemployment.
In the current economy,
however, the nation is faced
with the condition that infla­tion
and unemployment are
both significant problems, and
that upward price movements
have not, as expected, been ac­companied
by decreases in un­employment.
The explana­tions
of this phenomenon are
varied, but preliminary reflec­tions
on these conditions re­sult
in no surprise in view of
the manner in which policies
have been used to influence the
level of economic activity.
Seemingly, the monetary
weapons available have been
used increasingly to promote
growth and stability in the
economy. The principal
monetary weapon used has
been increases in money
supply which, acceptably hy­pothesized,
should favorably
influence growth and sta­bility.
However, such results are
not inevitable, and condi­tions
can exist in an economy
such that these ends would not
be accomplished, but instead
movement in the price level
would result. For increases in
the quantity of money, the re­sult
can be increases in
prices—a relationship that has
been recognized for centuries.
These increases in prices in
turn can have a deterrent im­pact
on productivity in the
economy. Increases in costs
and resultant expectations as
to profitability can be major
deterrent to production. De­creases
in productivity result
in declines in employment
requirements and the real in­come
that is produced in the I
economy.
The advent of technological
change also requires con­sideration.
While inflationary
movements may bring about
reduction in the real wage
(wages reflecting purchasing
power), it does not mean that
unemployment will decrease
because of the institutional
forces. Too, the notion of
substituting capital for labor is
ever present. A prime example
of the latter is the changes in
agriculture where capital in
the form of mechanization has
replaced masses of labor in the
production process.
Our policies to influence the
level of prosperity in the
economy have been a mixture
of monetary and fiscal ones
and, inherently, we have to
have some type of policy for
each of these. As monetary
policies (money supply
changes, for example) are used
in the economy, consideration
must also be given to other
important variables including
the level of government ex­penditures
and taxation.
The impact of these policies
needs to be considered in terms
of their impact on the level of
effective demand in the
economy. What is happening
to businessmen, to house­holds,
and to federal, state and
local government as a result of
current movements in the
economy?
The impact of continued in­flation
and unemployment on
consumption, investment and
government expenditures need
to be explored in terms of real
world conditions.
Different viewpoints among
professionals in a field create
problems of appreciation
among the general public. This
is especially true for
economics. The type view­points
reflected in public dis­cussions
tend to magnify the
differences. Most economists
have read essentially the same
economic works, have had
similar exposure in methodo­logy
and statistical analysis,
and in general, have tended to
stay abreast of th major deve­lopments
in current literature
in the field. In areas that per­tain
to man, exactness is less
attainable, but the results are
nevertheless meaningful in
their benefits to society.
On tne otner side of the coin,
there have been some succes­ses
during the past three
decades. Our nation has been
characterized by a high
standard o? living for the mas­ses
and the environment has
been characterized by high de­grees
of freedom of enterprise,
labor and markets. While dis­tribution
of income is acknow­ledged
to be still a problem, all
Americans need to recognize
that there has been a great up­ward
income movement of the
poor in this country during the
past three decades. This move­ment
has been from concern in
many cases for the basic neces­sities
of food, clothing and
shelter to that of a com­fortable
middle income status.
Many success factors can be
identified in the American
economy. These successes can
be traced in large part to what
is known in economics and the
use of that which is know. Dif­ferences
ami ng the profes­sionals
in a field can be desir­able.
Perhaps other than being
concerned about the exag­gerated
differences in public
statements by the economist in
a pseudopolitical role (or vice
versa), the concern may well be
directed to the disparity that
exists between that which is
known in economics and the
economics known and ac­cepted
by the general public.

" planning for good water and good air."
George L. Bradberry, Associate Sec­retary
of the Auburn University Alum­ni
Association, said, "Even on a board
where we have black and white repre­sentatives,
from my side of town I can­not
represent black members as well as
they can themselves." He said that
' Mrs. King almost won in the last elec­tion,
and that the ward elections would
show that the community can accept
every member, including students.
Victor E. Vance, 2546 E. Glenn Ave.
said, "A nine man council would gua­rantee
equal representation. It is im­possible
to represent an area that you
may not even be in for a week or a
month."
Councilman Reagan listed his rea­sons
favoring a nine man council.
"There is safety in numbers. It is very
difficult for any man to say he has five
votes and deliver them, but on a five
man council three men could easily
dominate the council.
Hood said that the nine man council
, is just as democratic as five and is best
for the city.
Weidenbach said, "This is my third
time on the council, and I'd like to be
elected by all the people."
Johnston said that he felt the best re­presentative
ofthe community will be
elected under any form of government.
"The idea keeps coming up that five
people could be elected from one street,
but I can't conceive that the people will
elect anyone who will not represent the
entire community," he said.

Editor, The Plainsman:
I just want to respond to your re­cent
challenge to the pious among us
to "crank up a giant campaign to
fight poverty in the Auburn area...;"
What you have sensed is the con­stant
threat to Christianity: how to
keep in balance our piety, our revel­ing
in the exotic and "sweetly spiri­tual"
aspects of our faith, together
with our responsibility toward the
community in which we live. Your
Socratic gadfly role in reminding us
of this is important.
In my own "branch" of main­stream
Christianity we have what
are known as "The General Rules."
They are simple, threefold, and (to
me) impressive in the order in which
our founder listed them: Do all the
good you can, first to the bodies of
men; second, to the souls of men;
third, attend upon all the ordinances
of God.
When Mr. Wesley founded his first
free school for British miners' child­ren
he took as a watchword, "Now to
unite the two so long-divided, know­ledge
and vital piety." The church of
today must keep in tandem its vital
piety and its social concerns. "Faith
without works is dead" and works
without faith may be little more than
sterile human engineering. Person­ally,
I remain entranced with the
words of a great Scotch Presbyterian
of our time: "The way to God passes
through my relation to my neigh­bour,
and the way to m/ neighbour
passes through my relation to God."
(John Baillie)
Charles R. Britt, Pastor
Auburn United Methodist Church
AU discriminates
against coeds
Editor, The Plainsman:
I noted with considerable amuse­ment
the edict sent out by Dean Cater
ordering all coeds not to visit the eight
or nine fraternity houses not having
housemothers. She must be pulling our
Greek leg.
Under the current laws, any female
of age 18 or over can marry without pa­rental
consent if she so desires. Since
most coeds are at least 18, it then ap­pears
ludicrous to this writer to forbid
them to visit in any fraternity house.
Anyone old enough to marry should be
allowed tqjchoose his or her company!:
I can only add my support to the
movement to abolish this frankly dis­criminatory
rule. The reason behind its
formation will, in all probability, re­main
hidden in the fog surrounding the
Social Center. ^
Don Hutchison, 3EE
Christian energy
not being wasted
Editor, The Plainsman:
In regard to your article, "Football
and Religion" on the editorial page of
last week's Plainsman, I have a few
comments.
It is probably true that football and
religion are the main subjects that Au­burn
students get excited about and I
certainly fall into that category.
However, your implication that the
energies of the Christians should be
somehow put to constructive use other
than getting people interested in a man
named Josh McDowell is a little near­sighted.
-
By getting people interested in Josh,
these Christians have done more for
this University than you can imagine.
Josh is just a man, who through
constant hours of research, has found
"the" answer of fighting poverty in
the Auburn area or the other crucial
problems facing our society today, and
Josh gave these students "the" ans­wer—
Jesus Christ.
Josh is not a fever-pitched emotional­ist,
in fact, everyone will tell you that he
seems very sure of himself. His selfas-suredness
is not from emotional out­breaks
or what is laughingly called
"the blind faith" but through facts
upon facts about the man, Jesus Christ
and the world around us. Christians
aren't satisfied with just helping the
poverty in the Auburn area but are on a
worldwide campaign.
Man has failed time and time again
to solve these problems and yet you
expect a handful of Christians (by the
way, they are in the minority) to do the
work. The Christians know that they
can't, but that the Lord can. So their
energy is certainly not being wasted as
your article stated.
If you had done a little research in
Auburn before writing your article, you
would have found that these same
Christians are the same ones who do
volunteer service in the VA hospital,
Day-Care Centers, with Headstart and
other organizations. Plus collecting for
various needs like UNICEF, March of
Dimes, etc. These same Christians are
the ones who take underprivileged
children to places like "Six Flags,"
"Callaway Gardens" and on other ex­cursions.
Believe me, I wonder where
they find the energy, time and convic­tion.
I am a new Christian and through
God's help I hope to gain these same at­tributes.
By the way, from your article,
I tended to doubt, you heard Josh
speak? He may have changed your life
too.

Josh appearance
second coming
Editor, The Plainsman:
After they stopped harassing me
with their yellow booklet, "The Four
Spiritual Laws," I thought and hoped
that the Campus Crusaders would fade
quietly from view. This, in light of re­cent
events, has not been true.
I do not object to the Campus Cru­saders
believing as they do, for they
and anyone else are perfectly free to fol­low
their hearts and minds. But my ob­jections
are mainly to their resistance
to let well enough alone. I have to ad­mit
that this group of people is the most
smugly pious, intolerant, childish
group that I have ever come across.
Early in my first quarter here I was
coerced into a discussion with a Cru­sader.
I was told that people who were
not convinced of the existence of a Su­preme
Being would burn in eternal fire.
I was told that my doubts and objec­tive
thinking about religion (and my
own, personal beliefs) were false. It is
this rigid, strident intolerance of oth­ers
which is objectionable.
The height has been the appearance ~
of this "Josh" person, the arrival of
whom was treated, ironically enough,
like the second coming. Please Cam­pus
Crusade, leave us alone. To para­phrase
a cliche, I may not agree with
your beliefs, but I'll fight to the death to
keep you from forcing them on me.

'serious' music
Editor, The Plainsman: .
In the Jan. 20 issue you announced
the taking of a music poll, and includ­ed
a pre-arranged categorization of en­tries.
Unfortunately, neither the poll nor
the campus radio station takes into
account the fact that there are some
. people on this campus who would like
to listen to "serious " music (vulgarly
known as "Classical")^ as well as
Broadway show music, true folk music
(Leadbelly, Paul Clayton, Pete Seeger
and so forth) and perhaps even on oc­casion,
the easy listening of a Monto-vani.
You may be aware of the fact that
most colleges and universities worthy
of national recognition have radio sta­tions
whose programming includes a
wide selection of music. The atmos­phere
of a university is based on the
idea that people from all walks of life,
and with many varying interests, will
attend. Without such a cross-section of
students, many would agree that a uni­versity
might easily stagnate, and at
any rate, the student's individual expe­rience
would not amount to much. The
same with our music. Any university
whose only radio voice prides itself on
a steady diet of hard rock is certainly
not putting its best foot forward, espe­cially
in the eys of other schools.

Students promote
Josh's message
Editor, The Plainsman:
I enjoyed your coverage of the ap­pearance
of Josh McDowell on campus.
I would like to comment on the editorial
"Football and Religion" which ap­peared
in last week's Plainsman. The
editor suggested that the students who
had involved themselves in promoting
Josh should have channeled their
energies and their enthusiasms toward
more constructive use such as the fight
against poverty. I would like to point
out that perhaps a more Crucial pro­blem
exists in the poverty ofthe hearts
of students. Suicide is the number two
killer of college students today—just
one evidence of the fact that students
are still trying to answer the age-old
questions of "Who am I," "Why am I
here," and "Where am I going."
Perhaps in all the enthusiasm shown
that week we missed the point that it
was not so much Josh McDowell that
these students wished to promote as the
message that he was proclaiming. As
Josh was quoted in The Plainsman, "A
change in the social and economic sys­tem
of society is not enough to bring
about peace. What we need is a power
that can change man's basic nature."
It is McDowell's conviction that the one
person capable of effecting this change
is Jesus Christ. It seems to me that this
message offers a definite solution to the
needs of students and is welj worthy of
being a main issue on the college cam­pus.

Six flags to fill 500 summer positions
Students who are looking
for a job for next summer
may find that a fruitful place ,
to look for one is at Atlanta's
Six Flags Over Georgia.
Over 500 host and hostess
positions must be filled for
the Six Flags 1972 season
which begins in April.
Explaining what a host or
hostess can expect to do at
Jimmy Tucker
Tucker enjoys work in SGA
By C a r m e l P a r s o ns
Assistant News Editor
You don't talk to Jimmy
Tucker, you listen. He's the
kind of guy who enjoys being
a student body president and
has a lot to say about it.
Looking like the boy next
door, he sits casually in his
chair, a large toother on his
face, chewing incessantly on
the top of his pen. "I don't like
to type myself as conserva­tive
or liberal," he says. "I
don't consider this a political
office, and I can't see why it
should be run like one. An­thony
(Copeland) and I are
both here for the benefit of all
the Auburn students, so I
can't type myself with any
labels."
When it comes to the SGA,
Jimmy is proud of it's suc­cess
this year. "We've accom­plished
some things which
were begun several years
ago," he says. "In academic
affairs we've brought about
the non-compulsory class at­tendance
policy, which is
something a lot of SGA ad­ministrations
have tried to
do, and also we've abolished
the five percent decrease in
grades for missing before and
after holidays."
The Extra-curricular Stu­dies
Program (ESP), formal­ly
called Free University,
was another accomplish­ment
of the SGA this year.
Jimmy had a few ideas of his
own about courses for the up­coming
quarter. "We might
try offering some courses
that the students can really
enjoy," he says, "like frisbee
throwing or kite flying. Of
course we'll continue the well-received
courses, and delete
the ones which had little res­ponse,"
he added.
Under Student Services,
the SGA has renewed Draft
Counseling. "We take two
options on this," Jimmy
says.' 'We show people how to
get out of the service, and
how to get in if they want to,
through work with campus
ROTC. Hopefully, though,
this will be something that
will work itself out of a job."
Jimmy considers the
SGA's work with Legal Aid
one of its most important pro­jects.
University lawyer Ted
Little, was hired to offer leg­al
counseling under this pro­gram.
"He counseled over 200
people fall quarter alone,"
Jimmy says. "Of course he's
not allowed to go to court for
the students, but he will sug­gest
a lawyer if you need
one."
When asked about his new
job as Student Representa­tive
to the Board of Trustees,
Jimmy's opinion was some­what
clouded. "I don't see
where my position on the
Board is going to make much
difference to Trustees, but I
think it's good for the stu­dents
to have a representa­tive
there," he said. "And
too," he added, "they only
meet four times a year, the
next meeting being in March,
and I go out of office in April,
so I'll only get to attend one
meeting."
What about his relation­ship
with President Phil-pott?
"I feel all Auburn stu­dents
have had a good rela­tionship
with him for two rea­sons:
one, he's more willing to
talk to students, and two,
we're more willing to talk to
him."
Scholarships
Eleven $300 scholar­ships
are available to
graduating seniors who
are members of Phi Eta
Sigma Freshmen Honor
Society and plan to work
for graduate degrees. The
scholarships are award­ed
each year by the Na­tional
Phi Eta Sigma
Fraternity to eligible stu­dents
on the basis of
scholastic record, evi­dence
of creative ability,
evidence of financial
need, promise of success
in chosen field and char­acter.
Interested stu­dents
should contact Lo­well
Ledbetter, faculty
adviser to Phi Eta
Sigma, in 304 Maty Mar­tin
Hall. Deadline for ap­plications
is Feb. 16.
Six Flags, personnel man­ager
Beene said, "There are a
wide variety of jobs avail­able
such as piloting a river-boat,
serving as a conductor
on a train, ushering guests in­to
the puppet or Crystal Pis­tol
shows, keeping relations
between guests and animals
in Petsville friendly, serving'
as a cook or as a ride
operator."
It was further pointed out
by Beene that applicants
should not assume that all
jobs are filled immediately.
Although a majority of the
hosts and hostesses remain
for the entire Six Flags' sea­son,
jobs are continually
becoming available. Hosts
and hostesses who remain
through the summer are
eligible for a bonus and
twenty $500 scholarships are
awarded to outstanding
hosts and hostesses each
year.

Review
National Players captivate AU
William Shakespeare's dia­logue
performed by players in
hot pants, flared jeans, and
motorcycle helmets may
sound like a sinful slaughter­ing
of the playvright's work.
However, such , a presenta­tion
of the "Taming of the
Shrew" presented by the Na­tional
Players last week on-the
Auburn campus capti­vated
an audience composed
primarily of students.
Evaluation books
not available
until spring
The Student Government
Association (SGA) Teacher-
Course Evaluation Book will
not be available for spring
quarter pre-registration as
originally planned, due to
several unavoidable delays,
according to Dave Thorn-bury,
director of teacher-course
evaluation.
The book contains
information of courses and
student evaluations of the in­structors
for those courses
and is designed to aid stu­dents
in their selection of
courses during registration.
It had been hoped that the
Tfooks would be ready for dis­tribution
by last Monday, but
interrelated problems de­layed
the final printing, said
Thornbury.
"The scan sheets filled out
by students last quarter were
a week late in arriving which
delayed the compiling of the
data into final exams period..
Because no one was avail­able
to supervise the pro­gram
during the Christmas
holidays, the computerized
printouts were not available
until this week," he said. Be­cause
of this the duplicating
service did not have enough
time to print the book.
Thornbury said, the
Evaluation Book will be
available in time to allow stu­dents
to use it before next
quarter's registration. Last
year, the books were not
ready until the day registra­tion
began.
"We want to inform stu­dents
about the book so that
they will use it. This year's
book will be more complete
than it has been in the past,"
he said. He added that the
book will be distributed free
to students.
Margaret Webster, ai
Shakespearean director,
said: "Who cares at what pe­riod
of history a shrew is
tamed, provided she lives
happily ever after?" Actual­ly
Shakespeare based his
"shrew" in the England and
Italy of his day by updating
versions of the story that
scholars say went back to the
time of Noah.
The National Players con­temporary
Italian setting
was created through clothes
which are currently fashion­able
and through the music
used between scenes. For in­stance,
the first scene began
with an Italian vocal track of
"Aquarius" playing in the
background. Dialogue, how­ever,
for the presentation was
not modernized. The beauty
as well as the humor of the
lines fit beautifully with the
1972 staging.
The "shrew" of the play is
Katharina, a young girl of
such violent temper and
whims it seems unlikely she
will ever find a husband. Her
father, Baptista, refuses to al­low
her lovable younger sist­er
Bianca to marry any of her
numerous suitors until Ka­tharina
is off his hands. Fi­nally,
Petruchio appears,
marries Katharina because
of her generous dowry, and
by his own highhandedness
"tames" her to the amaze­ment
of her father and of
Bianca's suitors. .
A subplot develops when
Lucentio, a rich university
student, falls in love with
Bianca on first seeing her. In
order to be near her, he dis­guises
himself as a lowly tu­tor
and enters her father's
home as her instructor.
Meanwhile Lucentio has
commissioned his servant
Tranio to assume his. identi­ty
and by impressing Bian­ca's
father with Lucentio's
wealth obtain permission for
him to marry her.
Complications occur, of
course, when the real Lucen­tio
does marry Bianca while
the alias Lucentio (Tranio),
whom Baptista thought
would be his son, tries to cla­rify
the situation.
The National Players was
founded in 1949 by the Rev.
Gilbert V. Hartke, O.P., head
of the speech and drama de­partment
of the Catholic Uni­versity
of America in Wash­ington.
The group was origi­nated
to provide experience
in touring productions for
graduating seniors.

Italian documentary
"Mondo Cane," an Italian
documentary of the bizarre
practices of man around the
world, is Monday's Fine Arts
film.
Ironic commentary and
music accompany the foot­age.
The practices include an­nual
bullfights in the streets
of Portugal, gourmets who
select and prepare live young
puppies in a Formosan res­taurant,
and a Pasadena
animal cemetery with flo­wers
and luxurious caskets
for pet dogs, cats and rats.
The film closes with
natives in Australia who
believe that large cargo
planes are birds sent from
heaven. They maintain a 24-
hour vigil, hoping to lure the
planes onto their primitive
airstrips.
The film is written and
directed by journalist
Gualtiero Jacopetti.
"Mondo Cane" will be'
shown Monday at 7 and 9
p.m. in Langdon Hall.
• r Disorientation-only
5 enroll
In spite of the overall suc­cess
of the Extra-curricular
Studies Program (ESP), the
disorientation course is be­ing
discontinued due to a lack
of student response, accord­ing
to Miriam Scarsbrook,
ESP director.
The course was stopped
after three sessions because
"the small number of stu­dents
attending did not
justify the time put in by the
class leader and the guest
speakers," Miss Scarsbrook
said.
Although 25 students en­rolled
for the course last quar­ter,
the average attendance
was fewer than five stu­dents,
according to Bruce Gil-liland,
SGA secretary of
academic affairs. "Because
we were reaching so few stu­dents,
we could not meet the
purposes of the course which'
were to point out some of the
problems students face and
to provide them with
information about solving
those problems," he said.
The course was aimed
primarily at freshmen and
was designed to complement
the University's regular pre-college
counseling program
for new students. "The idea is
good in theory," said Gilli-land,
"but students don't seek
out this information until
they already have a problem.
We may consider developing
a booklet containing the
information which the course
would have provided and dis­tribute
the booklets to in­coming
freshmen."
Navigators
present trek
"The Ultimate Ad­venture,"
a film of a five-man
trek across the Sahara De­sert
on motorcycle, will be
presented by the Navigators
of Auburn tonight.
The story of this trans-
Sahara quest was produced
by the Moody Institute of
Science. It deals with ques­tions
of "what makes a man
want to cross the Sahara
Desert, and what an
adventurer wants to prove
when he sets out on an ad­venture
of daring." Even
more important, the ex­plorers
discover the power of
prayer and a God who cares
on their adventure.
Of the five men who set out
in Jan. 1969, to cross the 3500
.mile desert, only three
reached their goal. Their ex­periences
in three "life and
death" crises and often1
miraculous deliveries led the
adventurers to a saving
knowledge of God and re­newed
lives with a greater sa­tisfaction.
The 30-minute film will be
shown at the following loca­tions
and times: Dorm K at 3
p.m.; Magnolia Dorm lounge
at 6 p.m.; Haley Center 1203
at 7 and 9 p.m.

ESP offers
new solutions
for ecology
Ecology now! Save the en­vironment!
Recycle every­thing!
Shut down the pollu­ters!!
These phrases have been
i heard a lot in recent years as
people have become more
aware of what serious da­mage
man is doing to his en­vironment.
If you are interested, the
Extracurricular Studies Pro­gram
(ESP) class on ecology
has a few ideas.
Instead of using a lot of
paper napkins and towels,
use a washable cloth. When
you shop for just a couple of
small items you can carry,
don't accept a bag. For more
and larger items, bring your
own bag and reuse it.
According to the ESP class
there are many things you
can do personally to cut down
on unnecessary waste. It may
be hard to imagine how a few
paper bags will make any dif­ference
but the group empha­sizes
that the only way the
earth can be saved is by a
change in the values and at­titudes
of every individual.
an interior decorator's
sample showroom? No, you
are in a room in Mag Dorm.
MAG DORM?
Yes, Magnolia Dorm­itories
is changing its image.
Innovations such as relaxed
dormitory rules throughout
the campus and a new pro­gram
for the upperclass Res­ident
Advisers (RA's) have"
given the residents of Mag­nolia
Dormitories incentive
to improve their surround­ings,
according, to Harvey
La Reau, president of the
complex, and Paul Johns­ton,
graduate aide in charge
of advisers.
"Residents have always
had the option to paint their
rooms at the dorm's ex­pense,"
said LaReau, a
senior math major from
Huntsville. "Lately, a lot
more are taking advantage of
it."
"Division A even got
together and redecorated
their entire hall," added
Johnston, a graduate stu­dent
majoring in counselor
education. "The men are
taking more pride in the dorm
and treating it as a home. We
also don't have near the pro­blem
with damages we used
to."
A new program for Res­ident
Advisers has also in­creased
the desirability of
Magnolia Dorms. Resident
Advisers,. are carefully
chosen j unior or senior under­graduates
who are each in
. charge of a division.
"Two years ago, the RA's
were nothing but police­men,"
explained Johnston.
"They maintained quiet, en­forced
the rules and inspected
the rooms once a week."
"Last year," he continued,
"Mr. Jerry Cook, the director
of the dorm, hired two full-time
aides who had com­pleted
their masters! in
guidance and counseling and
were working toward their
Ph.D's. They initiated a
'listening ear' program in
which the RA's have more
training."
According to Johnston,
who acts as a counselor to the
counselors, the RA's receive
their training in four meet­ings
in the Spring, a tree-day
session just prior to 1 falj quar­ter
and in-service sessions
throughout the year. The
RA's hear lectures by the Stu­dent
Development Services
staff, who are on campus to
help students with problems.
They also have group discus­sions,
sensitivity training
and group problem-solving.
Dr. Richard D. Hark, former
director of the Student
Development Services, has
compiled an 80-page hand­book
specifically for this pro­gram.
The counselors meet to­gether
every other week,
though Johnston tries to see
each RA once every week. "Of
course, they can drop in on
me any time," Johnston ad­ded.
"Here at Magnolia, we are
more concerned with the indi­vidual
and his problems than
at any off-campus housing,"
said LaReau. "For example,
if a man commits an offense,
we try to find out why he felt
the need to do so. An off-cam­pus
landlord, however, might
be quick to throw him out.
The concern of the off-cam­pus
landlord is business, ours
is the individual."
Brannon Woodham, Res­ident
Adviser for the newly-redecorated
Division A,
remarked that many of his
men had lived in Magnolia
for over a year, and they had
no plans of leaving prior to
graduation. "They have had
a great time painting the hall
and their rooms," said the
senior from Warner Robbins,
'Ga.,i "now with the new
dating rules, a realistic ap­proach
to the RA program
and a good dining hall, why
leave?"
New course to study
modern technology
A new university course,
"Our Man-Made World" (U
310), will be offered at Au­burn
spring quarter.
The course will deal with
engineering and technology
from the non-technical point
of view and is for students
majoring in engineering or
physical sciences.
It will attempt to show how
the techniques and theories
of modern technology are ap­plied
to the problems of so­ciety.
Applications will be
studied in such diverse areas
as urban design, memory,
traffic control and human
respiration.
The importance of value
judgments and their effect on
technological decision
should help the students to
understand the interaction of
technology with social, poli­tical
and economic systems.
The course may serve to sa­tisfy
in part the science re­quirement
for students not
majoring in engineering or
physical sciences.
Professors will be Dr. Leo
Hirth and Dr. Donald Vives.
It will be held daily at 11 a.m.
and will carry five credits."
' The new course brings to
seven the number of experi­mental,
interdisciplinary
courses designed to enable
the student to understand
more fully the dominant
ideas and concepts confront­ing
him in the modern world.
University courses are open
to students in all curricula.
Interested students should
check with their advisers or
department heads during
preregistration,Jan. 31-Feb.
10, about scheduling the
course.
Other University Courses
include "The Meaning of En­vironmental
Quality" (U 301);
"Psychological Study of the
Community" (U 400): "Intro­duction
to Planning" (U 401);
"Natural Philosophy" (U
422); "Frontiers of Beha­vior"
(U-200) and "Interper­sonal
Relations" (U 275).

Frontiers of Behavior (U200),
designed to deal with these
aspects of human behavior
not usually considered in
other curriculums. It is one of
seven such innovative
courses under the heading of
"University Courses," not as­cribed
to any department of
school.
Taught by Dr. Delwin
Cahoon, alumni associate
professor, Department of
Psychology, there are six
topics for class discussion,
selected through class ballot­ing.
In order of interest, dis­cussion
began this quarter
with witchcraft and demonol-ogy.
Until this quarter, the
social and psychological im­plications
of drug usage was
the most popular subject for
discussion.
Other aspects of behavior
include the social, psychol­ogical,
and artistic implica­tions
of rock music, cultural
revolutionary forces, social
changes as reflected in comic
books and "change" as a cul­tural
force, with "nostalgia"
as a reaction to this force.
Each subject is looked at
objectively and in general
the approach is quite critical,
according to Cahoon. Stu­dents
are graded on par­ticipation
and obligated to ar­range
some sort of "ex­perience"
for the rest of the
class.
Cahoon cited several
reasons for the interest in the
supernatural. "It could be a
fad," says Cahoon. "How­ever,
it is probably because of
the feeling that we have lost
control of the environment or
are disillusioned with tech­nological
progress. Things
just aren't working out the
way they are supposed to.
The same kind of helpless­ness
is also exhibited in in­terest
in the Eastern reli­gions,
in revised Christian
religious groups and in the
nostalgia craze.
People are looking for tem­porary
solutions to the kinds
of problems rapid change has
brought about. Cahoon
believes this may be a tran­sitional
period in the lives of
students, if not society as a
whole. "While activism
seems to be dying, we may be
on the way to somewhere."

Study reveals illegal letter
By Hank Cobleigh
Plainsman Staff Writer
In recent weeks a unique
chain letter has been circu­lating
the Auburn Campus.
The letter is unique in that it
appears to be legal, although
careful legal research re­veals
that it is not.
Local authorities are well
aware of the letter's exis­tence.
On Jan. 11, 85 sepa­rate
$5 money orders were
purchased in Auburn. The
post office keeps a record of
every money order sold, and
the postal inspector in Opeli-ka
has been notified about
this unusual rash of money
order purchases.
This chain letter is sold for
$10 and contains a $5
money order and a list of 10
names. The money order is
Security Force uses
Auburn students
Two Auburn students are
the latest additions to the Au­burn
Campus Security Force.
Mona Moore, 4LE, and Ar­nold
Henry, 1GC, will serve
as special investigators. Both
are taking courses in the Law
Enforcement Curricu-lum,
with Miss Moore sche­duled
to graduate in that area
in August.
In their roles as investiga­tors,
they will deal mainly
with theft complaints. These
include personal theft, Uni­versity
theft and thefts from
autos parked on campus.
They will also be involved
in other areas, such as cases
involving drug abuse, ac­cording
to Millard E.
Dawson, Campus Security
Chief.
The majority of cases are
considered only problems,
and do not end in arrest,
Dawson said. Many of the
cases wind up before the Stu­dent
Discipline Committee.
They may also be referred to
counseling or other services
available in the community,
and to courts.
How did the two get their
jobs?
Miss Moore was majoring
in English, writing short sto­ries
and poetry. "I realized
there wasn't much future in
it," she said. "I didn't know
where I'd find a job."
Then the Law Enforce­ment
Curriculum began at
Auburn and her interest in
the courses offered led her to
transfer. She is now working
full time for the Security Of­fice,
fulfilling the one course
requirement now necessary
for her graduation.
Henry began work at Au­burn
in 1969 as a Campus pa­trolman.
He, too, is taking
courses in Law Enforce­ment.
Both are enthusiastic
about the human relations
and psychology involved,
even in their most routine as­signments.
"You work with
people on an individual and
personal basis," according to
Miss Moore.
made out to the first name on
the list. The buyer of the let­ter
mails the money order to
the person to whom the mon­ey
order is made out and
strikes the first name off the
list. The buyer then purchas­es
two more $5 money orders
made out to the person whose
name was originally second
on the list. He makes two cop­ies
of the letter and places his
name tenth on the list and
then sells these letters to two
other people.
Without careful considera­tion,
this letter may appear to
be nearly flawless. But, as in
all chain letters, the only peo­ple
who will he assured of
making money are the let­ter's
originators. Ideally,
anyone who participates in
the chain letter cannot lose
money if he sells his two cop­ies
of the letter. But, there is
no guarantee that these cop­ies
can be sold.
Also, if a person does sell
his letters, someone may lat­er
strike his name from the
list before he is sent the mon­ey
orders that the circulation
of the letter should have pro­duced.
In short, the origina­tors
of the letter have alrea­dy
made more than their
share of the money and later
buyers of the letter may find
themselves simply paying for
another's profits.
By legal definition, a chain
letter is a lottery. A lottery is
defined to contain three ele­ments-
it has an element of
risk involved, it is based on a
consideration (wager), and it
involves a prize. The reason
for illegality of such a lottery
is that many people must
lose money to pay for the
profit of a few and such a lot­tery
often defrauds the go­vernment
of taxes.
By the popular concep­tion,
chain letters are not ille­gal
if the letter does not trav­el
through the mail. Howev­er,
Federal law strictly prohi­bits
the chain letter in ques­tion
here. Even the mailing of
the money order as a prize is
prohibited by the United
States Code, Title 18, Section
1302.
It defines as a chain let­ter
—"Any letter, package,
postal card, or circular con­cerning
any lottery, gift en­terprise,
or similar scheme of­fering
prizes dependent in
whole or in part upon lot or
chance...Any check, draft,
bill, money, postal note, or
money order, for the pur­chase
of any ticket or part
thereof, or of any share or
chance in any such lottery,
gift enterprise, or scheme."
Anyone involved in any,
part of the process may be fin­ed
not more than $1,000 or im­prisoned
not more than two
years or both.

Auburn fans-you're
lousy
Few people realize it, but Auburn played a part in the
brawl recently between Ohio State and Minnesota that end­ed
with two Buckeyes hospitalized and two Gophers sus­pended
for the rest of the season.
Bobby Nix, a guard on the same freshman team with Jim
Retseck, Gary England, Dan Kirkland, and Ralph Smith,
here, was in the lineup for Minnesota when the tension be­gan
mounting.
It was Nix whomLuke Witte, the Ohio State center, acciden­tally
"made contact with" as the first half was ending. Al­though
little was made of the incident then, it was cited as
what eventually led to the bloody violence that left Witte and
another State player in the hospital.
It could happen in the SEC. When Tennessee played Ken­tucky
a couple of weeks ago, the Kentucky fans littered the
court with oranges. And at Vanderbilt, a place that seldom
has less than a capacity crowd, crowds have many times
come dangerously close to getting out of hand.
You hope and pray that nothing that stupid will ever hap­pen
at Auburn.
No worry..
But then there is really no need to worry about it.
But not for the right reasons.
It won't be because Auburn fans are always sane, intelli­gent,
and rational that it won't happen.
It'll be because there won't be enough fans there to start
trouble.
Auburn, in other words, is a lousy place for a guy to play
basketball if he wants any kind of support from the stu­dents.
Take what will probably happen Saturday night.
After coming off a road trip in which they played in front
of over 12,000 in Tuscaloosa and over 13,000 in Nashville,
the basketball team will return home to play the SEC's se­cond
place team, Tennessee.
Big deal.
If it's a normal night, there will be maybe 4,000 fans wat­ching
the game. If it's an especially good one, 6,000 might
show.
Memorial Coliseum holds close to 13,000.
The crowd was so slim for one game that a dry-witted joke-ster
sitting at the scorer's table slipped this into the conver­sation^.
"You know," he said with a smirk on his face, "if we need­ed
to save time tonight, we could just introduce the crowd in­stead
of the starting line-up."
It was funny, but pitiful, too.
Only twice .
Only twice has the $6,500,000 Coliseum been pressed to
hold the crowd, and both times it was because of the floppy-haired
guy that went on to make hair spray commercials,
Maravich was his name.
Since Pete, Auburn has gone through a season with a star
of its own, John Mengelt, but failed to near a capacity crowd.
This year has been horrendous. The best crowd to this
point was against Georgia. A measley 4,510.
And despite what some think, the crowds make a diffe­rence.
One obvious proof that can be pointed to is the record of
home teams against road teams. Thirty times the home team
has won games, and only seven has it lost in the SEC this
season.
The players tell you that the crowd makes a difference, too.
Gary England said, "When you're on the road, you feel like
everyone in the place is against you, and it really makes it
harder to play."
Imagine Mike Edwards and Larry Robinson dribbling
down the court for Tennessee Saturday night. Edwards
looks up into the seats and says, "Hey Larry, I wonder if
those two guys over there in Section 28 are against us?"
"I don't know," Robinson answers, " but if they are that's
tv/o more than in Section 29."
Silly, but sad
Silly, but sadly a possibility.
Obviously, the question of why appears. Why won't Au­burn
s'udents go to basketball games?
One student retorted, "I don't want to go and watch those
guys lose."
He must not want to go watch them win either, because he
hasn't seen a game yet.
Apathy reigns.
There are still those loyal, vocal few and they are to be com­mended.
But a few is not enough.
Maybe if the Athletic Department could appropriate a
fund of some sort, it would pay all those students that at­tended
a game, instead of forcing them to flash their I.D.'s
before walking in.
And maybe the four-year old Coliseum could be renovat­ed,
with all the seats made into reclining vibrators, each with
its own individual instant-replay device.
Or maybe Auburn could come up with something better
than lousy fans.

When the best part of a
basketball road trip is a visit
to the Grand Ole Opry, the
trip must not have been that
rewarding.
It wasn't. The cagers lost to
Vanderbilt, 85-77.
And to make it worse, the
Auburn basketball Tigers
must now face the awesome
one-two punch of Tennessee
and Kentucuy Saturday and
Monday night. But, merci­fully,
the two games are in
the friendly surroundings of
Memorial Coliseum.
The Vols and Wildcats are
No.'s 2 and 1, respectively, in
the conference, but both have
two losses. Wins by Auburn
over both would put the Ti­gers
right back into the thick
of the muddled SEC race.
To take the games from
both would be a reversal of
form for the cagers, who have
now lost three straight con­ference
road games. The con­test
against Vanderbilt was
typical of the play in the
losing string.
"We just beat ourselves,"
Bill Lynn said: "We made
seven or eight mistakes in the
first half on fast breaks,
things like throwing the ball
out of bounds or traveling,
when we should have had
easy baskets. You just can't
win when you're doing
things like that."
Although Auburn trailed
by only two points at half-time,
it would have been a
surprise for them to pull the
game out in the second half.
Jim Retseck had picked up
three fouls in the first ten
minutes of the first half, and
had to play carefully, and the
rest of the team, with the ex­ception
of Al Leapheart, and
been doing little but stand­ing
around.
"This is the third straight
good game for Albert" Lynn
said of the lanky 6-10 Leap-heart.
"He is the only one
that is playing for us now."
Leapheart had 17 points
and 12 rebounds against the
Commodores, and raised his
field goal percentage to 60 for
the season.
But that isn't the point at
hand now.
'These are two big games,
there's no use in saying,"
Lynn said. "And the con­ference
"race isn't over yet.
But I don't want to even think
about that.
"It seems like every time we
start to think about that, we
tense up and don't play
basketball like
