              Abortion liberalized; little effect in Auburn foreseen
By Greg Lisby
Assistant News Editor
A 7-2 Supreme Court ruling handed down
Monday that liberalizes abortion laws could af­fect
46 state statutes—but it will have little im­mediate
effect in Auburn, according to local
health officials.
The decision forbade state law interference
with women wishing to have abortions during
the first six months of pregnancy.
A spokesman for Lee County Hospital said
that, although the hospital is equipped to
handle abortions "just like all other emergen­cies,"
it will have to study the ruling first before
determining what policy changes to make.
Dr. Paul Kalla, assistant director of Drake
Student Health Center, said he didn't think the
ruling would significantly affect the operation
of the health service.
"There won't be any kind of immediate
change regarding the administration's policy
towards the health center," Kalla said.
Justice Harry Blackmun, author of the
Court's majority opinion, said that during the
first three months of a pregnancy, a woman
does not have "an absolute right to an abor­tion"
on demand, but states can't interfere with
the judgment of the woman and her doctor dur­ing
this period.
In the second three months, the state can only
regulate abortions in ways "reasonably related
to maternal health." In the last three months,
the state can prevent all abortions except when
the life or health of the expectant mother is
risked, the opinion continued.
The ruling specifically struck down the Geor­gia
abortion law which allows medical abor­tions
only to residents of the state and requires
two additional doctors to concur with the opi­nion
of the woman and her doctor to end a preg­nancy
except "for the purpose of saving the life
of the mother."
Justices Byron White and William Rehnquist
dissented in the decision.
"The court apparently values the con­venience,
to the pregnant mother more than the
continued existence and development of the life
or potential life she carries," White said.
Rod Sinclair, chaplain of the Auburn Epis­copal
Student Center and pregnancy counselor
said that as abortion becomes more accessible,
it will "become less expensive and a little less
taboo" in agreeing with the court's opinion.
"Fewer women may possibly seek help from
the Problem Pregnancy Counseling Service,"
he said, "but I would encourage them to talk
with us anyway, even though they know they
want an abortion." The Problem Pregnancy
Counseling Service is a counseling program in­volving
several Auburn ministers.
The ruling has a capacity to be misused, he
noted. "But what else is new? Every law is this
way," Sinclair added.
Sinclair admitted he was surprised that "a
conservative court has taken such a liberal
stand."
One area physician, who wished to remain
anonymous, said, "I will not personally inter­rupt
a pregnancy where a woman's life isn't
endangered. I have certain responsilities to the
fetus, too."
A local Catholic priest asserted that the court
"denied the part of the Almighty" in the deci­sion-
making process of birth. "This is more
than a decision between a woman and her doc­tor,"
he said. "This is a question of murder."
Walter Turner of the Alabama attorney gen­eral's
office explained that Attorney General
BUI Baxley cannot determine the validity of
Alabama's abortion law until his office re­ceives
the text of the Court decision later this
week.
The Alabama law currently states that abor­tions
cannot be performed unless the life or
health of the expectant mother is endangered
by a continued pregnancy.
Blackmun said that the basis for the ruling
was found by considering the harm which could
be caused a pregnant woman by forcing a preg-nat
woman to bear an unwanted child. "Mental
and physical health may be taxed by child
care," Blackmun said.
He also noted that the maternal mortality
rate following abortions is lower than the
maternal mortality rate during normal child­birth.
,
There was no comment in Blackmun's opi­nion
concerning the issue of the fetus legally be­ing
an individual before birth and therefore en­titled
to the same protection to which any other
person is entitled.

Despite worries
Band Hall acoustics adequate
Despite an earlier scare that the new
band hall would be too acoustically un­sound
to use, the Auburn Band held its
first rehearsal there Tuesday after­noon,
and all is almost well according
to Band Director Billy Walls.
Music Department officials told
band members last week that the
acoustics in the structure were entirely
inadequate. Apparently, this is not the
case after all, said Walls. There is only
a slight problem, Walls said.
The "problem" is that the new build­ing
is a little too "live" which means
there is an excessive amount of echo in
the building, according to Walls. "This
is not at all unusual," he said. "Most
new band rehearsal rooms need some
adjusting, and it is nothing to be over­ly
concerned about," he said.
Walls used the construction of Lin­coln
Center for the Performing Arts in
New York to illustrate the point. The
concert hall was built to the acoustical

AU officials to meet Friday
with LIU representatives
A meeting between University re­presentatives
and spokesmen for the
Laborer's International Union of
North America (LIU) to discuss labor
complaints has been arranged for Fri­day
at an undisclosed location, accord­ing
to Thomas D. Samford III, Univer­sity
attorney.
The LIU is currently attempting to be
recognized by the University as the of­ficial
bargaining agent for the Univer­sity's
non-academic, non-budgeted em­ployes;
this includes Memorial Colise­um
workers, Buildings and Grounds
personnel and Food Services workers.
Rather than grant the official recog­nition
sought by the union, which the
University claims it cannot legally do,
the administration last week proposed
informal negotiations among ad­ministration
officials, LIU represen­tatives
and representatives of the em­ployes
concerned.
Samford explained though, that the
meeting Friday does not actually con­stitute
"negotiations."
"I have been asked to render a legal
opinion on the requests of the union,
and this meeting is simply for us to
learn what the requests are," he said.
LIU representative Albert Hazel
answered "no comment" to all ques­tions
asked about developments in the
situation.
Samford said that he had been con­tacted
by the LIU asking him to ar­range
a convenient date to talk, and he
chose Friday.
Acting Pres. Ben T. Lanham em­phasized
that the University is in no
hurry to begin serious negotiation.
"The more time we have to think
about this thing, then the more easily it
will be settled," he said.

Health services probing
V.D. 'epidemic' rumors
By Mike Kenopke
Plainsman Staff Writer
Amid rumors that an "epidemic" of
venereal disease exists at Auburn, Dr.
Paul J. Kalla, assistant director of Au­burn
Student Health Services, said this
week that he is investigating the ex­tent
of the infection among students.
Kalla said there has been an alarm­ing
increase in the number of cases of
gonorrhea reported among Auburn stu­dents
during the last two years, par­ticularly
in the last two quarters.
He said that a great deal of the pro­blem
results from student apathy and a
lack of understanding and awareness
of venereal disease. He proposed an ad­vertising
campaign to inform the stu­dentsof
symptoms, methods of praven-.
tion and cures for venereal disease.
"There has been a steady increase in
the number of venereal disease cases
on campus since I have been at Au­burn,"
Kalla noted. "But the increase
has been particularly noticeable in the
summer and fall quarters of this past
year." He said the number of cases so
far this quarter has not been large, but
he attributed this to the large number
of influenza cases.
"People are too sick with the flu to
worry if they might have V.D.," he
said. "But we expect another large in­crease
spring quarter."
Concerning the type of V.D. aware­ness
campaign he has in mind, Kalla
said, "We need a dynamic, no-non­sense
campaign to inform the students
of ' the symptons and cures for
venereal disease." Kalla asked that all
students who have any reason to be­lieve
that they might have venereal di­sease—
whether they already have
symptoms or because of their recent
sexual activities—come to Drake
Health Center and have a culture test
taken for V.D.
He emphasized that all records of
these tests are kept confidential and
Santona concert
set March 31
for Coliseum
The noted Latin rock group Santana
has been signed for an appearance at
Memorial Coliseum on March 31, ac­cording
to Dave Scheirer, Student
Government Association entertain­ment
director.
Scheirer said Monday night on
WEGL's 'Terspectives 73" program
that contract negotiations with the
group are nearly complete.
Commenting on the lack of concerts
at Auburn for January and February,
Scheirer said a feared strike by Colise­um
workers eliminated chances of
booking groups. At present the
Laborer's International Union (LIU) of
North America and Auburn Universi­ty
are negotiating the formation of a
union of non-academic, non-budgeted
employees of the University. If these
talks failed, a strike would be probable.
Because most rock-group members be­long
to unions, they could be expected
to honor any strike by the Coliseum
workers.
The Santana group set to appear in
March is not the original Santana
After a dispute over royalty rights to
songs, the original group broke up.
Now with his new group, lead
guitarist Carlos Santana is again per­forming
after a brief absence from the
concert circuit. With the "old" San­tana
group, Santana made popular a
brand of Latin rock music, emphasiz­ing
Spanish-American rhythms under
hard rock leads.
that students should not stay away out
of fear. He said treatment for venereal
disease is simple if the disease is
detected in its early stages.
Kalla proposed the use of condoms to
prevent the spread of V.D. He said the
devices, when used by the male, pre­vent
the spread of V.D. to the female if
the male is infected, and prevent the
male from contracting the disease if the
female is infected.
When questioned about the pos­sibility
of the Health Center making
condoms available to students by dis­tribution
or sale, Kalla said, "Even if
the administration is not opposed to it,
we do not have a large number of con­doms
available from the public health
officials, so it would have to be done on
a private basis."
"The Health Services could, buy a
large number of condoms from a pri­vate
concern at a discount and then sell
them to the students at that same dis­count,"
he said. "If the administration
is opposed to this, I would advise the
students to make the purchase through
some student organization and dis­tribute
them at some location frequent­ly
visited by the male student popula­tion."
Kalla said, whatever the reaction of
the city of Auburn to the plan, the stu­dents'
attention needs to be focused on
the problem. "As any advertising man
will tell you, you can't get the full
audience's attention with a passive ap­proach.
V.D. is a serious problem
around here and people need to know
about it."
Dr. Floyd Vallery, assistant to the
University President, had a different
view of the situation. "I favor a more
passive approach to the problem be­cause
I feel that students here are

AU, UAB to provide
health information
Auburn and the Universi­ty
of Alabama in Birming­ham
formally agreed over the
holidays to join forces in a
statewide educational pro­gram
that could provide
badly needed health informa­tion
to the people of Ala­bama.
The UAB Medical Center is
to provide the technical "and
medical expertise while Au­burn's
cooperative extension
service is to apply its educa­tional
skills and manpower
to the project through its dis­trict
and county staff
members.
The project is the first in
the nation to combine the re­sources
of a university medi­cal
center and a Co-operative
Extension Service in a state­wide
health education pro­gram,
and officials of both
universities say the Ala­bama
project could become a
model for other states.
The formal agreement
evolved from a pilot project
conducted jointly by the two
institutions for the past year
in Clay County.

Students with extra time
on their hands this quarter
can volunteer for a variety of
useful jobs through the Stu­dent
Volunteer Services.
(SVS).
According to Duke Wood­son,
6CE, coordinator of
SVSA, there is a need for vol­unteers
willing to counsel,
tutor, provide transportation,
do manual labor, or just offer
companionship to the lonely.
Woodson says the purpose
of SVS is to get students in­volved
in the community or
social work while meeting the
needs of both the area and the
volunteer.
There is a wide variety of
opportunities for the student
interested in volunteer work,
says Woodson. The Emer­gency
School Assistance Pro­gram
in Auburn needs tutors
for junior-high students in
basic subjects, mainly read­ing
and math. No specific
major is required and the
only qualifications are an
interest in working with teen­agers
and a firm commit­ment
to the program, claims
Woodson.
For those interested in out­door
or construction work,
the East Alabama Coopera­tive
Housing Association
needs workers on most after­noons
and Saturdays to help
provide housing for the
impoverished.
Volunteers are needed for
other programs such as the
Auburn Community Thrift
Shop, prisoner visitation,
working with parolees, and
providing companionship at
the Opelika Nursing Home.
Some elementary schools in
Auburn also use volunteers
for janitorial work, grounds
upkeep and book-sorting.
Churches in the Auburn
area need maintenance work­ers,
nursery helpers and
other volunteers.
Woodson encourages
sororities and fraternities to
use these opportunities as
their service projects. Educa­tion
and speech majors are
especially needed, but he tries
to find a suitable service for
any student.
The SVS is funded by the
Danforth Foundation of St.
Louis, Missouri.
SVS received a $1,000
grant last fall to be used until
June. This money covers the
coordinator's salary and any
publicity for the SVS.
Woodson serves as a con­nection
between interested
students and the various
agencies. He became co­ordinator
in mid-December
after the resignation of David
Hill, former student govern­ment
association president.
Although there were not
many volunteers during fall
quarter, Woodson has
already recruited 34 students
this quarter.
Interested students may
call Student Volunteer Ser­vices
at 821-1917.

up of the five major world powers (The
United States, Britain, Russia, China,
France and 10 smaller alternating na­tions)
will consider the most important
resolutions. These committee meet­ings
all go on simultaneously and give
rise to a great deal of bargaining, note
swapping and politicing.
Rogers said there is a great feeling of
authenticity throughout the entire
time. "There is the same backstab-bing,
dealing and conniving to get your
country in the best position before the
general assembly. There is nothing
fakelike involved; you become so in­volved
that I doubt, for example, if
you'll see the Irish delegation talking to
the English delegation. The delegates
will be making deals until minutes
before the general assembly is called to
order."
Some of the delegates are foreign stu­dents
and represent their native coun­tries.
Feelings get so electric that last
year the native representatives of
Pakistan and India almost had a fight
on the general assembly floor, said
Rogers.

as possible.
Awards are presented to the country
with the best and most accurate repre­sentation
in both the general assembly
and in the Security Council.
Before the model UN. convenes,
each "country" sends in resolutions, as
is done in the U.N., to the secretary
general who decides which resolutions
will go to the committees first.
Friday night there is a diplomatic
party where a great deal of planning,
scheming and conniving will take
place according to Rogers. Deals are
made and broken and support is given
and dejected. Saturday morning

throughout the committee meetings,

in their support as they believed.

The reason is we're not just your average

Banks in Georgia. And we're booming. We're
working in everything from corporate finance

And that's where you come in. You see, a
bank that's doing so many different things
needs many different skills. So it's not a
traditional image we're looking for, it's that
certain motivation that marks the leader.
Good grades.. .yes, they're important, too.
But we're also interested in the extra­curricular
minded person-the kind who gets
into things and makes things happen.
If that's you, there's a chance you can make
it big in a bank that's making it big: C&S.
We're number one in Georgia, and in the top
forty nationally. Our assets just topped the

Tax course
accepting
students
For those who thought
they'd be too busy figuring in­come
taxes to enroll in a
night course this quarter,
there's still time to sign
up—for "Income Tax Pre­paration
for Individual Tax­payers."
While other courses of­fered
this quarter are al­ready
under way, this one be­gins
Feb. 6. And there's room
for several more students, ac­cording
to Ed White, con­ference
director.
The course will include
eight sessions, meeting Tues­days
and Thursdays through
March 1. In the final two ses­sions,
participants will
actually prepare a federal
and Alabama tax return.
Dr. Robert R. Criss, as­sociate
professor in Busi­ness,
will teach the course.
Dr. Criss is a Certified Public
Accountant and has taught
income tax accounting at Au­burn
for the past six years.
The course not only pre-'
sents the rational and funda­mental
procedure of federal
and state tax return prepara­tion,
but trains participants
to recognize areas of tax­ation
where professional ad­vice
may be needed.
Registration fee for the

PRESENT RATE FOR XEROX COPY IS TEN CENTS
. . .SGA, IFC propose half price-copies
Nickel Xerox copies proposed
By Anthony Murphy
Plainsman Staff Writer
The Student Government
Association and the Inter-fraternity
Council are pre­paring
to propose the leasing
of Xerox copying machines
that will operate at the rate of
five cents per copy. The SGA
and the IFC would like to
locate the new machines in
the Union Building after its
completion this fall.
Jerry Batts, president of
the SGA, said that the plans
had not yet been presented to
the administration, because
they wanted to gather
enough facts for a strong case
favoring the new rates.
A Xerox representative has
told proponents of the new
machines that a nickel rate is
feasible and that the operat­ing
rate per copy for govern­ment
institutions is 3.35
cents, said Batts.
At present, there are
various types of copying
machines about the campus,
each controlled by the de­partment
that it is located in.
The Xerox copiers reproduce
originals at the rate of ten
cents per copy.
According to Acting Pres.
Ben T. Lanham, the
machines operate on a non­profit
basis at a rate which
covers operating costs.
The matter was presented
to the University once in the
past by others but was re­jected,
according to Doug
Meckes, president of IFC.
Enrollment up
Preliminary figures on •
enrollment at the two cam­puses
of Auburn University
for the winter quarter show
the combined number of stu­dents
registered is 15,862 for
a 4.4 per cent increase over
the same period last year.
Dr. Wilbur A. Tincher,
director of Educational Ser­vices,
said 13,909 have reg­istered
at the main campus
for a 2.2 per cent increase
over last winter's 13,607.
'Forum' gives credit for lectures, plays
By Mary Going
Plainsman Staff Writer
A student picks up and fills out a
computer card, enjoys a play, a lecture,
or maybe a movie, and all the while is
earning credit. Since when?
University course 201, "Forum," is a
new, experimental course in which stu-dents
receive"aT;a'demisc"cY«lit'fc(f at-"'
tending at least Seven of 15 to 20 desig­nated
public affairs Events oil campus.
This class, presently composed of 50
students from various fields, never
meets, and there are no tests or reports;
it is graded on the Satisfactory-Un­satisfactory
option—an "S" demands
only that the student attend seven of
the events—and is available to any­one.
Dr. Leslie Campbell, assistant dean
of Arts, and Sciences and initiator of
U201, sees its purpose as two-fold. He
feels that the educational possibilities
of lectures, concerts and many other ex­tra-
curricular programs are unlimited
and that students taking the initiative
to participate in these should receive
academic recognition.
Another anticipated advantage of
"Forum" is due partly to the recent
development and improvement of Au­burn's
public lecture program. Since
many of the events offered are only
lightly attended, "Forum" would en­courage
better participation, particu­larly
if the program is continued and
expanded to several hundred students.
Ms. Frances Lyons, who is handling
the program, feels that it is going well
and should be continued. She con­siders
it an opportunity for students to
experience a significant part of educa­tion
not always provided by curricu-lums,
newspapers or magazines.
Ms. Lyons thinks that the computer
cards, distributed and collected by her
at a designated entrance to each event,
will prove to be an effective method of
computing attendance. The entrances
are well-marked and there are usually
no waiting lines.
The first two designated events of
the quarter, a discussion of "The Con­temporary
Irish Question" by Michael
Hurst and a lecture by Nicos Devleto-glou,
each drew slightly less than 50
per cent of the total "Forum" class as
expected, according to Ms. Lyons.
Brenda Finlayson, 4HPR, a U201
student, feels that the course is a good
idea in that Auburn students are sel­dom
well-informed about lectures of­fered
on campus. She considers the one
credit to be an effective incentive for
students to make a point of finding out
about these lectures and to get more out
of the events they do choose to attend.
Future events are varied and will be
posted on the Arts and Sciences office
bulletin board. These include a lecture
on "The United Nations ufthe 1970's"
by John Stoessinger, and Vittorio de
Sica's film "Umberto D," on January
26th and 29th, respectively.
Other speakers scheduled for the
quarter are: Robert W. Racine, film
critic; David A. Baylinson, Rabbi of the
Beth-or Jewish Temple in Mont­gomery;
Dean Rusk, professor of inter­national
law at the University of Geor­gia
and former secretary of state;
Richard I. Evans, professor of psy­chology
at the University of Houston;
and Harold Koontz, Mead Johnson
Professor at UCLA.
Other possibilities for credit are
concerts of the Auburn University
Orchestra and of the Choral Union (in
March), and a Readers' Theatre inter­pretation
of "American Prose at
Random."
"Forum," Ms. Lyons said, is a collec­tion
of offerings from many different
sources rather than a separate "lecture
series" of its own.
Becuase of its experimental nature,
U201 was limi ted to 50 students its first
quarter and was advertised only by no­tices
to faculty advisers. It is hoped
that, if approved by the curriculum
committee and continued, it will be
open to> more students spring quarter.
Although "Forum" will not appear in
the" spring quarter course schedule
booklet, class cards may be picked up at
the philosophy pick-up station.

The latest Student Govern­ment
Association student
opinion survey, taken during
fall quarter '72, showed an in­crease
in student concern
over population growth as
compared to those polled in
the fall of 7 1 .
More Auburn students now
favor adopting children in­stead
of having their own.
The number of students not
wishing to have any chil­dren
at all doubled from 7 per
cent in '71 to 14 per cent in '72.
The number of students de­siring
to have two children,
no more, fell six percentage
points from 72 per cent in '71
to 56 per cent in '72, while
adoption as a means of con­trolling
the population in­creased
in popularity from 55
per cent in favor of adoption
in '71 to 58 per cent in favor ot
it in '72. Those totally op­posed
to adoption fell by 4 per
cent.
In the area of birth control
and what can be done for the
student by the University,
there were considerable in­creases
among those in favor
of supplying birth control de­vices,
and abortion referrals.
Nineteen per cent of the stu­dents
polled fall felt that the
University should supply
some kind of birth control
device at the expense of the
University while only 12 per
cent felt this way in '71. The j
number of those who felt that J
birth control devices should I
be supplied at student costs!
fell by 4 per cent over the!
same time period. An abor­tion
referral service provided
by the University gained
favor slightly going from 74
per cent to 76 per cent.
The legalization of abor­tions
continued to be an issue
of much controversy. On the
point of abortion the number
of students surveyed who felt
that abortions should be ille­gal
rose from 2 per cent in '71
to 5 per cent in '72. However,
the number of those in favor
of abortion upon request
climbed from 18 per cent to 22
per cent.
Fifty-six per cent of the stu­dents
surveyed plan to use or
presently use birth control
pills. 11 per cent are using or
plan to use the rythm method
and 11 per cent are planning
on using no means of birth
control, which in effect is say­ing
that 22 per cent favor
using no mechanical means
of birth control.
There are some major gaps
when it comes to opinions
concerning effective means
of population control among
the students surveyed. Seven­ty-
two per cent feel that
public education programs
concerning sex and contra­ception
would be effective in
population control while 27
per cent of the students go in
for reversible sterilization
after two children. Forty-two
per cent of those polled feel
chat tax penalties would be
effective for people with more
than two children.
The survey was conducted
before the recent news that
the United States population
is stable and may be already
moving toward a zero popu­lation
growth rate.
The students surveyed
were distributed propor­tionately
by class with a ma­jority
of students being in the
schools of Arts and Sciences
and Education. In the survey
of fall quarter '71,48 per cent
of the students polled were
males, while 53 per cent were
males in the '72 survey. This
may have some effect on the
nature of the answers.

Page Four Thurs., Jan. 25, 1973
LBJ "This is the tree I expect to be
buried under. When my grandchil­dren
see this tree, I want them to
think of me as the man who saved
Asia and Vietnam, and who did
something for the Negroes of this
country."
Lyndon Baines Johnson spoke
those words six years ago while
conducting an intimate tour of his
ranch. Much of thepuhlic, if it even
took notice of the words, was in no
mood to listen to a politician's soul.
At that time, the new liberals, the
Eastern intellectuals, and the
young idealists were beginning to
see tragedy and folly written all
over his build-up of forces in Viet­nam.
Many Southerners had
thought him a turncoat before the
ink on the 1964 Civil Rights Bill
was dry. And, of course, the hard
core Republicans never thought
much of a man who vowed to wipe
out poverty.
These unrelated political forces
drained the idealistic sap out of a
man who "had conquered poverty,
Texas, and the United States Sen­ate,
made his way to the White
House, outscored FDR in a pres­idential
election, gentled Con­gress,
and straddled Asia," says a
major historian of the period, Eric
F. Goldman.
That's a hard fall for a proud
man who believed he was
absolutely right in his executive
decisions. But, as damning an in­fluence
as Johnson's hungry ego
and stubborn pride proved to be,
those same characteristics drove
him to push for tons of needed
social reform for the blacks, for the
poor, and for the aged. Middle
Americans, by the way, ex­perienced
a prosperity during the
LBJ years that comes close to rank­ing
the highest in history.
Johnson pushed for his reforms,
displaying a dazzling mastery over
Congress. Appropriately called a
"wheeler-dealer," he didn't talk
pretty like John Kennedy, but he
knew and used the language of
power.
Perhaps that's a deeper reason
why many voters sent him word
via the polls that they didn't trust
him. In retrospect, we have a hard
time finding a total lack of scruples
in a man who commented upon
signing an education appropria­tion:
"Not enough, not nearly
enough. But I'm proud, damn
proud to have got it started. Educa­tion—
that's what's needed and
that's what every kid ought to get,
as much of it as he can take, right
up to his neck." That kind of plain,
determined talk—not "Good
evenin' mah fella Uhmer-icans"—
was the eloquence of Lyn­don
Johnson.
Johnson seemed to enjoy his last
days in Texas. Occasionally the
press would find him at some pub­lic
gathering and the resulting
photographs must have shocked
the conservative public. Lyndon
Johnson had grown his hair out
and the breeze blew it around in
Bobby Kennedy fashion. We
wonder what was on his mind.
Try grappling with a spirit called
"Southern culture." Try to define it, to
restrict it to an academic discussion, to
write comprehensively about it. It's like
attempting to trap a ghost in a display
window. You sense its presence but you
can't understand it.
I knew the topic would come up when
I visited a rare Southern gentleman
late last November. While the miser­able
winter rain and wind chilled the
outer planks of his modest, old-fashioned
home, we sat comfortably in­side
with our bourbon and water and
talked of the South.
I had feared the visit. More than one
antique Southern gentleman had
damned me for my columns on Wal­lace,
race relations, and Southern
politics. No one likes to be accused of
disloyalty to a sacred ideal.
But Dr. Ward Allen, Elizabethan
scholar and proud son of the South, for­gave
me for my upstart liberalism at
least for an afternoon. We drifted ever
so gently from one topic to another:
agrarianism, the Scriptures, the mood
of the young, the dignity of the teach­ing
profession, the music of the blacks,
the destruction of nature. But the to­pics
of conversation meant less to me
than the tone of the conversation it­self.
And that tone—that mood—was of
Southern inspiration. The elusive spirit
had once again entranced and per­plexed
me.
For days following the chat with Dr.
Allen, thoughts of "Southern culture"
haunted me as surely as the lonely
sound of the night train rattling
through town at a quarter till eleven
haunted me during childhood. Was
something mysteriously beauti­ful—
like the night train—departing for
good into the dark past? I tried to ex­press
my fear in academic language:
would all of the changes I had been ad­vocating—
changes in the social struc­ture
that seem so necessary for the sur-
Potomac seagulls
Peace
Perhaps the most comforting of
all public voices in America is that
of Henry Kissinger who, in his
quaint Germanic English, calmly
discussed plans Wednesday morn­ing
to stabilize war torn Indo­china.
Call it what you like—"peace
with honor" or "peace achieved dis­honorably."
It's, still billed as
peace. Let's hope it lasts.
So much could upset the latest
diplomatic success. Will our
prisoners of war really be re­turned?
Will malcontented guer­rillas
on either "side" initiate
small-scale bloodbaths that could
blossom into war again? What will
be the real role of President Thieu?
Can we trust him?
Leaders in Congress of both par­ties
agree that the United States
should profit by the Vietnamese ex­perience
by cautiously avoiding an­other
cold war trap. This is a good
time to recall some advice of George
Kennan, cold war expert and
author of American foreign
strategy during the late forties. Al­though
some international critics
have blame Kennan for designing
f. policy which eventually led to ex-esses
in Vietnam, his outline of
V.D.
conditions for U.S. military aid to
Greece in 1947 is not a bad test for
future dilemmas.
According to Kennan, we should
intervene if the problem at hand is
one within our economic, tech­nical,
and financial capabilities.
(Vietnam was a considerable |
strain on our resources.) Another
consideration would be what might
happen if we don't intervene.
Would the result of our non-inter­ference
be "very decidedly to the
advantage" of our political adver­saries?
(Paradoxically, Vietnam
backfired. The Communists had a
field day in terms of world opi­nion.)
Kennan's third condition
would be to speculate what the long
range results of a proposed inter­vention
would be. He asks: Would
the favorable consequences carry
far beyond the provincial pro­blems
of the country in auestion?
The last qualification should be
interpreted in the context of 1973
rather than 1947. Any interven­tion
that severely strains this coun­try's
capabilities to solve the pro­blems
of world environmental de­cay,
overpopulation,^and nuclear
threat could not be said to produce
' .'avorable consequences."
Rumors and reports of a rise of
venereal disease cases treated by
doctors in the campus student
health center are disturbing to say
the least.
Too often, people register moral
outrage about any mention of a.di­sease
related to sex or, even worse,
joke about the causes and nature of
sex afflictions. We hope students
and administrators here don't
react immaturely to the present
situation. Such attitudes dis­courage
those who may be suffer­ing
with a deadly disease from
seeking medical help.
We admire the spunk of Dr. Paul
Kalla, assistant director of the
health center, for speaking frankly
about the problem. He is currently
trying to estimate how widespread
venereal disease infections may be
on campus. His advice to students
is to learn the symptoms of gonor­rhea
and syphilis (see our front
page story), to seek medical atten­tion
if there is any reason to be­lieve
the disease is present, and to
take preventive measures such as
utilizing condoms.
That's good advice. Take it
seriously for venereal disease, if
not detected and treated while in
early stages, can be extremely dan­gerous.

Impressions of the Inauguration
The focus was on Washington, D.C.,
Saturday—to observe, to protest, or to
cheer. However, for the resident sea
gulls that frequent the Tidal Basin, the
course of historic human events
shaping around them was incidental.
The Basin is a small inlet off the
Potomac River that brushes close to the
base of the Jefferson Memorial
grounds. It is a familiar postcard
scene—the pearl white memorial,
spring green, pink cherry blossoms
spreading along the outline of the
basin.
Today, January 20, the twisted
trunks and bare branches bowed close
to the ice sheet sealing a large portion
of the water. The wind blowing through
the empty branches made the early
morning even colder as my companion
and I hiked toward the nearby Lincln
Memorial. We stopped for a moment,
perhaps somewhat enviously, to watch
the gulls; undisturbed by our intru­sion,
they continued about their busi­ness.
There were dozens of those grey-white
birds on the ice.
Pairs of webbed feet moved §afely
across the slippery floor. Some pecked
at the scattered bits of discarded
branches and driftwood that had sur­faced
when the ice formed. One spread
his wings and joined the gulls sailing
and soaring in the sky overhead. The
others, heeding his example, would lift
into the air. Our favorite gull dipped
downward for the ice. As his feet
touched, he glided a few inches before
being able to stop on the slippery sur­face.
"Are you kids here for the inaugura­tion
or the demonstration?" asked
another intruder, a rather elderly man
with patches of white hair showing
beneath his cap. He was spreading a
piece ofnewspaper across a portion of a
weathered wooden bench a few feet
ahead of us. Guiding himself with one
hand, he Bank into the bench and be­gan
to watch the gulls..
"Both, sort of," I replied, "or neither,
depending on how you look at it. We
just wanted to see what it would be like
around here on Inauguration Day."
"They're all the same after a while,"
he replied, brushing the lapel of his
grey wool coat and then shoving the
morning paper under his left arm.
"Fancy speeches. A lot of glitter. I
remember back in 1960. John Ken­nedy.
We had a bigsnowstorm.They
called the army in to shovel the
streets."
He pulled his cap down snugly over
his ears.
"Now they call them in. But not to
shovel any snow." The old man shook
his head. "No," he said, "I've just stop­ped
to watch the gulls."
We left him there and continued
toward the Lincoln Memorial.
There were still a few hours before
both the anti-war rally and the
Inauguration would begin, but the
crowds were beginning to form. The
loudspeakers issued instructions to the
hundreds of protestors gathering on
the Memorial steps. Home made
posters were as numerous as printed
ones: "MAKE NIXON SIGN," "OUT
NOW," "SIGN THE TREATY." A mid­dle
age man in suit and top coat firmly
grasped a hand painted sign reading,
"NIXON'S PEACE PLAN KILLED
MY SON."
One girl standing with a megaphone
in one hand and brushing her blonde
bangs from her eyes with the other led a
group chanting with cheerleader vigor,
"Make Nixon sign/On the dotted line."
A young man in jeans and army
jacket stood stoicly at the front of the
Memorial holding an upside-down
American flag. Others moved through
the crowd selling the official blue and
white demonstration buttons.
We moved up the steps and into the
memorial, passing students, clergy and
the solemn faces of people gathered
from across the country. Beneath the
watchful eyes of the stone Abe Lin­coln,
the people sat—reading, talking,
silent. They wandered, pausing to read
Lincoln's second inaugural address in-graved
upon one wall:
". . .Neither party expected
for the war the magnitude or the
duration which it has already at­tained.
. .Let us strive on to finish
the work we are in, to bind up the
nations wounds. . . To do all which
may achieve and cherish a just and
lasting peace. . ."
We weaved toward the outside. The
Washington Monument rose in the dis­tance
a few hundred yards before us.
Directly behind it, a few more miles
away, stood the Capitol where hun­dreds
of other Americans were await­ing
the Presidential motorcade and the
Inaugural Parade.
The American flag was flying at half
staff above the Capitol. Security was
tight. The outlines of guards and radio
antenna could be discerned atop every
building along Pennsylvania and Con­stitution
Avenues. Those who had pur­chased
tickets for the Inaugural parade
were filling the white wooden benches
constructed along Pennsylvania
Avenue.
The finishing touches were being ap­plied
to the Michigan float which in­cluded
an early model Ford. All of the
floats extended the Inaugural theme of
the Spirit of '76. We passed the covered
wagon of California, the antebellum
float of Alabama. On the corners stu­dents
from the Washington Bible Col­lege
distributed leaflets. An old man
sold plastic American flag pins, to raise
money for the disabled veterans. It was
reminiscent of an old Fourth of July
celebration—except for the cool
weather and obvious presence of
security forces.
We heard the presidential motorcade
approaching the Capitol. Encased in a
bulletproof limousine, the President
smiled and waved at the onlookers lin­ing
Pennsylvania Ave. at the edge of
the Capitol grounds. One by one the
fleet of black limousines disappeared
from sight. We left President Nixon at
the Capitol and began retracing our
path homeward.
The ice was melting on the tidal
basin as we stopped for one last
glimpse. A patch of pure blue was forc­ing
its way through the gray clouds.
Sunlight poured out in two long
columns between the dome of the Jef­ferson
Memorial and the empty bench
where earlier we had left the old man
watching the gulls. The Presidential
limousine was sailing triumphantly
somewhere along Pennsylvania Ave.
toward the White House. The increas­ing
tide of protestors were converging
upon the monument grounds. And the
sea gulls soared, dipped and landed as
their icy runway drifted slowly toward
the Potomac.
human laws and codes, is at heart a
hymn to human dignity.
Excuse me. I cannot translate an
aesthetic feeling into a political and
sociological argument. Therefore my
comments may read like a collection of
romantic mush. But, along with fight­ing
for equal opportunities, civil
liberties, and environmental sanity, I
would like to preserve and protect a few
remnants ofanendangered spirit:
The Southern accent. Some people
call it a drawl. Yet so many employ it to
a musical advantage. True, there are
the plastic antebellums who seem to al­ways
end up on television as "repre­sentatives"
of the South. But, Gomer
Pyle to the contrary, the "accent" is a
flexible, expressive, comfortable,
and—most of all—warm way of speak­ing.
Contrast it with a Michigan honk
or a Connecticut snap. No Boston
native—not even a Kennedy—can
bend and stretch the basic vocal tones
to achieve any of the thousand fine
variables of speech available to the
resonant Southerner.
Southern mannerisms. I speak not so
much of "yes suh's" as of seemingly ex­cessive
chit-chat and small affec­tionate
gestures. "Good man­ners"—
opening doors for others, res­pectfully
addressing elders, dreaming
up "something nice" and perhaps ir­relevant
to say to those we dislike or
misunderstand—are rituals of
establishing a more sensitive rapport
with personalities. "Manners—they
make life easier," one relative once lec­tured
me.
Southern pace of life. Observe South­erners
collectively and individually.
The movements of life—labeled slug­gish
by our critics—seem close to the
rhythms of the earth. A classic scene is
the collection of folk who gather
around Southern courthouses on Satur­day.
Although vigorously involved in
passing idle moments, they seem to
take their time to laugh, to barter, to
swap drunken jokes on life. Only a few
artists have come close to describing
the unique meaning of such a scene.
Listen to the sultry spirituals that were
first heard in fields near Southern
forests. That's about the closest avail­able
impression of these vibrations.
Remnants of Southern rhythms,
moods, and colors—they are diffusing
into the American melting pot of the
latter half of the twentieth cen­tury—
the century of 1984. Will
remnants of the Southern spirit sur­vive
the stew? That's a good question
for Dr. Ward Allen.
Press in a 'pickle' now
because of past abuses
Reporters in jail for protecting news
sources and newspapers in all parts of
the country are bewailing the "new
threat" to freedom of the press.
They moan and groan about how the
Bill
Wood
Supreme Court's "-Caldwell" decision,
by denying reporters the right to pro­tect
their sources, has stripped them of
their newsgathering capacity. It does
look pratty bad for the press, but it's go­ing
to get a lot worse if the media don't
shape up.
Some of the big Eastern newspapers
are displaying an arrogance about the
issue that will certainly hurt the press
nationwide. Editorials published with­in
a week of each other in "The New
York Times" and "The Washington
Post" have advocated virtually un­limited
press freedom on the grounds
that the media somehow "deserve"
protection.
Such an attitude will almost cer­tainly
turn the public against the
media in their drive for protection of
confidential news sources. Protection
for sources is needed not for the con­venience
of newsmen, but because the
public has a right to know information
that only a protected source can give.
To protect sources, many journalists
are advocating a national "shield
law"—that is a law that would allow a
reporter to keep confidential the source
of information he reveals in testimony.
Such a law is needed, but the track re­cord
of journalists in their use of con­fidential
sources is certainly hamper­ing
the efforts to have such a law pas­sed
now.
The confidential source has been
used in the past to cover up deficiencies
in reporting, to promote one-sidedness
in news coverage and to, in effect, ac­cuse
a person publicly without letting
him confront his accusers.
Printing a story and attributing it to
"informed sources" is often the mark of
poor reporting. For a competent report­er,
the anonymous "tip" is just the
beginning of the story.
A good newsman will act res­ponsibly
and investigate the story
thoroughly before going into print. He
won't let fear of being scooped by the
other media deter him either.
Too often, newspapers haven't acted
responsiblv in these cases. Thev wero
first with the story, all right, but often
they were wrong.
Then, there is the danger of partisan­ship
in using confidential informa­tion.
All too often in the past, a one
sided story has resulted from some "in­formed
source" blowing off his mouth
and being quoted prominently on page
1 without any mention of that side of
the story that the source overlooked.
It's hard enough for a person to
answer accusations in the press, even
when the accuser is identified. When
the accuser is "a source close to the
President," the accused has almost no
chance to defend himself, even though
he may be totally in the right.
All these abuses have resulted from
press misuse of the confidentiality of
sources. It's a small wonder that the
courts are ruling to restrict that
privilege now.
At this critical point, the press must
do two things. First, it must lobby
actively for an effective shield
law—not because the press deserves
special privileges, but because only
with protected sources can it
adequately inform the public.
More importantly, the press should
work hard to use confidential sources
more responsibly. Then, the next time
confidentiality is threatened, news­papers
can point to the positive good
done by responsible use of protected
sources. And they won't have to stand
on a record of irresponsibility and an
amateurish desire to be "the first into
print" with everything.
Auburn basketball status
considered to be inferior
page 5 Thurs., Jan. 25, 1973 THE AUBURN PUINMUN
Editor, The Plainsman:
The Auburn-Alabama basketball
game last Saturday night provided
both students and alumni with an op­portunity
to observe two opposing
philosophies of the game of basket­ball.
Not only the final score, but also
the conduct of the game illustrates the
inferior status of the current Auburn
Philosophy.
Auburn's roster is the first major
area of difference. While Auburn re­cruiters
were combing the upper
Midwest, Alabama's men were
investigating in such far-off places as
Birmingham, Montgomery, and
^here's that Douglas fellow from?
>nly three local men grace the Auburn
oster while not fewer than seven play
or Alabama.
Next among the differences may be
the style of play. While we have been
told that Auburn has opened up its
style of play from the deliberate to the
run-and-shoot, no evidence of the
change showed itself on Saturday.
Even when the players were able to
establish a resemblance of the running •
game, one mistake netted a player the
bench and a scolding from the coach.
Alabama's offense, essentially a fast-break
type, is know as a high-risk of­fense,
but when a player was forced
into a turnover, the Alabama coaches
did not immediately yank him from the
game, rather, they recognized the
potential for error in their style of play
and did not seek to punish a player for
an error made while hustling.
It seems totally foreign to Auburn
sport that a player should be afraid to
hustle lest he commit an error for which
he will spend half the game on the
bench.
Worthy of mention is the difference
between the conduct of the coaches of
the two respective teams. At least once
in each of the home games Auburn has
played this year, play has been stop­ped
so that a warning or a penalty
could be administered to the Auburn
coaches. This conduct is outrageous to
both the fans and the players.
Why should the players of a team be
punished because the coach or his as­sistant
cannot exercise self-control?
What kind of judgement must a coach
or assistant have if he is unable to con­trol
his emotions during a game?
Dedication and desire to win are one
thing, but grandstanding and "hot-dogging"
are something else.
Finally, the area of player develop­ment
provided an' excellent contrast in
Saturday night's game. Alabamahas a
£ TO freshmari on Its starting squad.
Auburn has 6-6 freshman on its start­ing
sound.
Alabama has other players on its
starting squad who are of less spec­tacular
dimensions, but Auburn can
afford to have a man seven feet tall on
the bench. Ernie Magri is not the only
player that Coach Lynn has failed to
develop, and he is certainlv not to be
the last.'
A brief canvass of the "stars" at Au­burn
in the last few seasons will reveal
that all of them have been stars in spite
of Coach Lynn, and that they were well
developed ball players when they ar­rived
(as is the case with Redding) at
Auburn.
What all of this seems to say is that
the Auburn University students are
paying for a basketball coaching staff
that is inferior in every way to that at
the University of Alabama. It seems
intolerable that we be willing to send
our athletes to do battle with teams
that are superior to them in prepared­ness.
It is no reflection on the players that
their coaches are second-rate, on the
contrary, they are to be applauded for
their persistence in the face, of incom­petence,
but it is a reflection on this uni­versity
that the coaches cannot con­duct
themselves as gentlemen even if
they cannot pretend to be competent.
What all fans of the basketball team
must do is call for the resignations of
the entire coaching staff at the end of
this year. There is no reason why Au­burn
cannot have a basketball team
with a respectable record when the only
impediment to that record is an in­competent
coaching staff.

'Entertainment needs variety'
Editor, The Plainsman:
I believe that Auburn's entertain­ment
has a good record even after
listening to last Monday's WEGL inter­view
with Dave Scheirer.
Auburn University is our school and
I do not want to trade any of its idiosyn-cracies
for those of any other school.
Lets stop comparing ourselves (Au­burn)
to other schools and just apply
their proven techniques to acquire
good groups.
Auburn has had some great enter­tainment
in the past five and one-half
years that I have been here. Sure some
of the groups which have come have
not appealed to everyone; but let's not
let one group, Rod Stewart and the
Faces, cause us to select only straight
groups like the 5th Dimension and The
Temptations. We have got to have
variety to keep student interest.
The past successes of Steppenwolf,
Bob Hope, 5th Dimension, Jesus Christ
Superstar, Neil Diamond, Isaac Hayes,
Rolling Stones, 3 Dog Night, Ferrante
and Teicher, and .Stephen Stills are
enough to convince anyone that Au­burn
is a place where top entertain­ment
will play. The Auburn students
will support new groups I feel, and if a
particular group is not well known we
have WEGL which is an excellent pub­licity
source. Also what other place in
the south has a coliseum with facilities
for entertainment like ours?
Let's plan in the future to get groups
like Jethro Tull, Uriah Heep, Cat
Stevens, Traffic, Carly Simon, and Neil
Young and have confidence that the
Auburn student body will support
them.
Doug Riddle, 4EE

It comes to Wild Willie up here in the
cave that Monday's Student Senate
meeting was called off because "The
Senate didn't have anything to do."
That's funny.
They never let that stop them from
meeting before.

Reliving the days when Auburn students painted t r a i n s orange and

Veer should be allowed on campus
Editor, The Plainsman:
For once we agree on an issue: ac­ceptance
of liquor advertisements.
However, I would like to make a small
request. Could the subject "liquor" be
expanded to include beer, wine and
hard liquor as well as the locale in
which it may be sold?
I have been told that liquor is not to
be sold within one mile of the campus,
and I'll assume it is true because of the
absence of any taverns. You also men­tioned
in your article the Opelika-Au-burn
highway and the dangers as­sociated
with driving on it regardless of
conditions or "the condition." My ques­tion
is, why submit a student body, the
overwhelming majority of whom are
voting adults and of whom at least one
fourth are 2} years qld or better, to the
necessity of driving one mile to get a
drink and then returning "home"
under the influence of any amount of
alcohol regardless of what prompts
them? And what of the coeds being
driven "home" Friday and Saturday
evening from said establishments, fra­ternities,
apartments and houses by
people who have, in all probability, had
some form of depressant or stimulant?
It seems that other universities have
managed to survive with beer on cam-the
Rathsheller, the My-O-My, and
Teddi's from which I walked home.
Each of these advertised in the (Penn
State) Daily Collegian at $5 a shot, five
times a week throughout the year. And
that revenue plus your other "sinful"
advertisements could perhaps go to
pus. (For football fans—Penn State,
Ohio State, University of Texas, and
UT at Knoxville. For scholars—Penn,
Harvard, Yale, and Cornell) The Stu­dents
on these campuses—with and
without "in loco parentis"—have sur­vived
and graduated. I know. . .1 was
one, and, I might add, some of my most
pleasurable evenings (and Friday
afternoons) were spent in places like
your paper which could come out daily
or register some general improvement.
Any way, the public "image" of your
newspaper would be very unstable in­deed
if it were to suffer from liquor ad­vertisements.
I don't believe it has af­fected
the circulation of The New York
Times, Time magazine, or Playboy.
Brian E. Dunloy, 4AM
mature enough to accept the problem
without having to use such loud scare
tactics," he said.
He said a conspicuous campaign
would create a bad image for Auburn
and would upset parents.
Vallery proposed that Auburn offer
classes on subjects such as V.D. and
contraception at the Health Center.
V.D. has a variety of symptoms. The
first symptoms for gonorrhea in males
are painful urination and pus dis­charge.
Untreated, the gonococcus
organism spreads up the urinal tract
and can possibly cause extreme pain.
In females, gonorrhea has very few
noticeable symptoms. Many females
never experience any symptoms until
the disease reaches its larter stages.
In spite of this, Kalla said, an in­creasing
number of women students
are coming to the Health Center for
V.D. tests.
The organism will spread up the fe-_
male's vaginal tract into her lower ab­domen
and cause pelvic inflamation.
After this occurs, the disease'is very dif­ficult
to cure and will cause infrequent
periods of extreme lower abdominal
pain. The disease can close the fal­lopian
tubes, resulting in sterility.
Syphilis symptoms in both males
and females are red, inflamed, open
sores known as "chancres." The con­traction
of syphilis generally results in
death.
At first, these sores are found on the
male's genitals and in the female on the
external vaginal area. The main pro­blem
with syphilis symptoms is that
they are not always present.
If chancres are present and remain
untreated, they will spread to other
areas of the body. In its advanced
stages, syphilis affects the central ner­vous
system and invades the aorta of
the heart, causing heart disturbances.
Syphilis damages the brain message
pathways along the spinal column,
which causes loss of coordination and
can lead to insanity.

specifications of the architect, yet final
corrections were not made until after
actual rehearsal was held, he said.
"And it is better that a building be too
'li ve' than too 'dead,' because it is much
easier to correct.
"Actually, the acoustics are better
than we expected. Besides, in the old
band' hall there were nd acoustics,"
said Walls.
The adjustment will consist of ex­perimenting—
listening to the band as
it rehearses—to determine what will be
done, he said.

A coach's frustration
With a record of three wins against 11 losses in a year that
was to suppose to have been " a real exciting year for Auburn
basketball'kccording to an earlier interview with Coach Bill
Lynn, things just haven't turned out as well as anticipated
for Lynn's young cagers.
It's really amazing how many mends a coach can win or
lose in a year simply because of his team's* record.
Right now, football Coach "Shug" Jordan is enjoying the
success of a 10-1 season, and rightly so. But don't kid your­self,
things weren't always so good. Take 1966 and a 4-6 re­cord.
That was a year in which the good coach could easily
see where his friends in the alumni were.
He could determine this by a simple process of elimina­tion,
and the crowd that wasn't hollering vigorously for his
job had to be considered allies.
This seems to be the case this year as far as Coach Lynn is
concerned. A number of Auburn people, obviously dis­enchanted
with the way things have been going, have made
this year another in the series of the "Armchair Coach."
Somehow you can't really argue with this feeling because
they have a point.
Auburn, a university known for her great spirit and
competiveness, is losing big in basketball. Their question is
"why?"
Amazingly high
DUNCAN
Better athletes
If all of these boys had been able to play, would we have
been able to have a shot at the conference crown?
"We've never had the kind of people recently that it takes
to win a conference," Lynn continued. "Right now, we have
better athletes than we've ever had.
"And the encouraging thing is that they're ambitious stu­dents
(Gary Redding in pre-med and Bob Bond in pre-vet.)
"I think that if this club can get two more good boys in the
next two or three years, they'll be a contender for the con­ference.
I don't care who's coaching them."
In the shooting percentage department, another of the Ti­gers'
weak points this year, Auburn is in the cellar of the SEC
with an average of 41 per cent.
When asked about his reaction to the heckling in the
stands during the game, Lynn appeared unmoved.
"I don't hear what goes on in the stands during a game,"
the coach remarked, "I'm concentrating on the game. Later
on after we play, my wife will tell me what went on, but that
doesn't bother me.

Tigers attempt comeback
against tough Vanderbilt
—Glenn Bradv
DAVENPORT (35) AND ENGLAND (22) CLOSE IN ON GEORGIA'S
GIANFRANCESCO
. . .Another in a series of possible victories which have escaped the Tigers
By Larry Gierer
Associate Sports Editor
The Auburn Tigers will attempt a come­back
against the 17th ranked Vanderbilt
Commodores this Saturday night closing out
a disappointing homestand.
"I saw Vandy play against Alabama, and
they're a team which plays 40 minutes of
good basketball," Auburn Coach Bill Lynn
remarked. "We'll have to play extremely well
if we hope to beat them."
Vanderbilt is currently third in the
conference after edging Kentucky by one
point on Monday night in Nashville. They
are led by 7'4" center Steve Turner who is
regarded as being much more agressive than
last season.
The leading scorer on the Vandy squad is
forward Terry Compton who is averaging 16
points a game. At the guard positions are Joe
Ford and Jan Van Breda Kolff.
Van Breda Kolff the son of former NBA
coach Bill Van Breda Kolff.
"The Commodores will have the definite
edge in experience," Lynn said. "They have
everybody back who played last year."
A definite edge in experience is an under­statement.
In Auburn's 68-64 loss against
Georgia, Lynn played his team freely and at
one time had four freshmen on the court at
the same time.
"These freshmen are good kids, but they
still make the mistakes that go with youth.
This club has gotten a lot better though since
the beginning season," said Lynn.
Freshman star Gary Redding was injured
slightly in Monday night's contest when his
knee collided with an opponent and was re­moved
from the game for a short time. How­ever,
the sensational player from Atlanta
should be back in top form Saturday.
The Georgia game was a hard fought con­test
with the score being tied several times in
the game. In the first half the Tigers were led
by Redding who kept the game close with his
ten points and five rebounds. At halftime the
score was 30-29 with the Bulldogs holding
the edge.
In the second half the Tigers' shooting
hand got cold and if not for a gallant 15 point
effort by guard Mike Christian, the game
could have gotten completely out of hand.
Georgia was spaiked by the red hot shooting
of Ronnie Hogue who ripped the nets for 27
big points. Tim Bassett, the big center who
practically beat Auburn by himself in
Athens earlier this year, hurt the Tigers
again with his great rebounding pulling
down 17 rebounds off the boards.
A great believer in equal time, I think it's time to hear the
thoughts Coach Lynn has on this subject.
"I hate to make excuses, Lynn commented. "I just don't be­lieve
in them. It's tough coaching and losing. Our boys have
been working hard, doing everything that it takes to win, but
we don't.
"We're off to a much slower pace than
we thought we would be at this point in the
season. But I can safely say one
thing—this club has come over a hundred
miles since we played Georgia Tech in late
November."
"The amazing thing about the whole
situation is that as a whole, the morale on
this club is amazingly high."
Lynn pointed out that three things had
hurt this club: injuries, loss of top
returnees and shooting percentage.
"Nineteen sixty-nine was suppose to be a great year tor re­cruiting
for the team in the fact we recruited Gary England,
Ralph Smith, Dan Kirkland, Jim Retseck and a boy by the
name of Jim Simmons."
Of all of these boys acquired that year, England is the only
-starter on tins year's team. Smith has.'been slowed by a knee
^•problemMt stall is used a great deal in reskvefKh-Klahdlias"
been the victim of two operations on his left knee and has
been redshirted this year while his knee is recuperating; and
Retseck and Simmons, a 6'6" player who had the potential
for a great future, were victims of the books.

• . .177 pounder is a very scrappy performer
The 'Swede' means more
than winning to Auburn
By Bruce Lee
Assistant Sports Editor
Coach Arnold "Swede"
Umbach, Auburn's re­nowned
wrestling coach, has
contributed greatly to the
sports world partly because
of his outstanding record, but
primarily because of his sin­cere
interest in working with
young men.
Umbach's career started
when he was an eighth
grader in Weatherford, Okla­homa.
In those days, col­leges
also operated prep
schools.
"After the eighth grade, I
received a vocational agri­culture
scholarship to Okla­homa
State prep school,"
Umbach stated. "I went to
our home school the next year
and then entered pre-school
at Oklahoma State.
K"I wasi14years old and got
interested in wrestling and
just hung around the gym,"
Coach Umbach continued.
"The wrestling coach was Ed
Gallagher, probably the
greatest coach in college
wrestling history. He asked
me if I would like to go out,
and I jumped at the chance.
"Then my two-year scho­larship
ran out, and so I fi­nished
high school at Wea­therford
High School," the
"Swede" stated. "Since there
was no high school wrest­ling,
I played football, and
basketball. I wanted to play
baseball too, but our school
didn't have a team."
After high school, Um­bach
decided to go to school
at Southwestern Oklahoma
State College-: At South­western
he won all-con­ference
honors in both wrest­ling
and football.
"Carl Voyles was the new
head football coach at South­western.
He had just gra­duated
from Oklahoma
State, and I knew him there
when he was on the football
and wrestling teams. He had
a lot to do with my decision to
go to Southwestern.
"While I was at Southwest­ern,
I was on the first wrest­ling
team," Coach Umbach
continued. "Later I became
captain of both the football
and wrestling teams."
After the coach graduated
from college, he became a
high school coach in both
football and wrestling. In
these tasks, he quickly estab­lished
winning records.
After several years coach­ing
sports in high school, he
signed on as an assistant
coach at William and Mary
where he met his friend and
one-time coach, Carl Boyles.
Together they came to Au­burn
in 1944.
T signed on as an end
coach," Umbach said. "After
I had been here two years, I
was offered the job as the
head of the P.E. Department.
I didn't want to continue
coaching football, but I did
want to start a wrestling
team."
Although Umbach has
become the undisputed
master coach of Southern
wrestling, he has had to do
much of it with theaid of non-
Southern wrestlers.
"When I started the wrest­ling
program at Auburn, I
was fortunate that most
other schools were just start­ing,"
explains Coach Um­bach.
"All our wrestlers were
previously untrained.
"But now, 1 recruit mostly
from the Oklahoma-Iowa
areas. I've also got several
from New York and Califor­nia.
But the only native.
Southerner to win an indivi­dual
title in the SEC last year
was George Calloway."
Since Umbach began
wrestling, many things have
changed in wrestling.
"In my day, we could
punish our opponents," Um­bach
remarked. "You could
put the scissors on a guy, but
that's been changed. The
scoring system has also
changed, along with much of
the equipment.
"Ropes surrounded rings
and often a wrestler would
get tangled in them, and one
could sometimes even use the
ropes to his advantage..
"The mats have changed
too," Umbach continued.
"I've still got some scars from
my wrestling days. The mats
were like sandpaper. You
would get burns and cuts and
they would get infected and
cause rashes and boils."
"In my day, there were ho
athletic scholarships," the
coach remembers. "I worked
at a soda fountain 35 hours a
week and still participated in
sports and school."
Umbach is also known as
the man who brought Little
League Baseball to Ala­bama.
"It happened in a funny
way," recalled the wrestling
mentor. "I was in Boston at
the Statler Hotel for the Na­tional
Convention. I was go­ing
to breakfast and noticed a
sign on a door announcing a
film showing on Little
League Baseball and'- I
decided to see it.
"1 saw the film and en­joyed
it so I asked if I could
borrow it. I brought it to Au­burn
and showed it to the four
civic clubs. They liked it,
people offered to buy uni­forms
and that was that."
The most recent bright
spots for the "Swede" was a
victory over Georgia and last
week's win over Alabama.
With a lifetime record of 240
wins against 28 losses and
very few ties, it's pretty ob­vious
that winning is what
the "Swede" does best.

Fishin' with Old John
By Walter Richardson
Plainsman Sports Writer
Yes sir they sho is down
there, and on good warm
days they wallow like a mess
o hawgs."
The old gentleman was
very insistent as he tried to
Convince me that the woods I
had been squirrel and duck
hunting for years was a
bass haven.
He'd stretch his wrinkled
old arms about three feet
apart as he inquired "how da
look."
Well old John kept on pes­tering
me about getting him a
mess of fish, so one day we
just took off.
We made an agreement he
was to point them out, and I
was to use all my fancy equip­ment
and get his family some
fisy to fry. We proceeded as I
saw nothing, but the usual
trees, no water much less any
fish.
Shortly we came across a
creek, and I smiled to myself
as I figged my ultralight 308
But before I could tie a swivel
on my 8-lb. test line Old John
had me stop.
"We aren't going to fish in
the creek, waters too swift."
All I could do was smile and
agree, after all he was the
expert.
We kept going farther into
the woods always following
the original creek bed. We'd
been walking for almost 45
minutes before John gave the
wod "bait up." By this time I
was hot tired and bitten. It
was early October and steam­ing
musquitos and mocasons
were formost on my mind, I
didn't want to seea fish.
I still hadn't seen a drop of
water until we walked
through one final cain-break.
But there it was like a paint­ing.
A seemingly untouched,
unfinished pond.
The beaver pond looked
like it might have a million
years ago. Hugh leafless
trees bloted the setting sun.
The water was dark and
murky due to the sedimented
leaves and ancient roots.
I couldn't choose a plug
fast enough. Since I didn't
know the pond, I went with
the old standbv "rapalla." I
was so (excited, my first cast
caught a giant oak. But John
reassured me, "be steady
they ain't going nowhere."
I tossed a couple more
times with no success. I was
just beginning to think that it
was a wasted trip when my
plug was mauled with a thun­derous
surface stike. But with
the shock of a clean miss.
John grunted with disgust
I had blown a good wish. An­other
30 minutes and still no
luck. I could barly see as I pre­pared
tor the final cast.
The rapalla bounced off of
a oak and fell twisted beside a
stump. I was doing my best to
count to 10 when it stuck.
It sounded like the 4th of
July as he bullied the plug.
My line was screaming as it
twisted from stump to stump.
I knew he'd be free as he
jumped for the second time,
but my hook hedl.
With that last jump John
was in the water. He was
grabing for all he was worth
it was so dark I could only
hear John and that lunker
talking.
Then there was silence,
but I could see two rows of
white teeth and I knew I had
a nice one, and John had
supper.
Though he only weighed a
little over seven pounds, the
bass was a real fighter.
On some nice warm day,
you might try some beaver
pond that you are familiar
with—you might be sur­prised.

Swimmers post impressive
win over Georgia Tech
By Karen Koch
Plainsman Sports Writer,.
Just to show they're out to
be number one, the Auburn
swim team won two dual
meets last weekend.
The team defeated Georgia
Tech in Atlanta Friday
night, 68 to 42, and followed it
with a 67 to 45 victory over
Clemson Saturday.
Logan Pierson, a fresh­man
from Boca Raton, Fla.,
won the 1000 freestyle, break­ing
the varsity record for Au­burn
in that event.
Duncan Report
From page 6
"I'm only worried about winning games."
Lynn isn't down on his players for the team's disappoint­ing
season.
"You can't get, down on this bunch, tfyeyhustie, And they
never gripe because they work as a unit..
"By now our players should have enough poise to play col­legiate
ball. But it's still a question of experience. Everytime
we walk into a gym, we are still the younger team.
"Anyone who knows basketball, can tell that our boys are
players. And they also have the attitude that it takes to play
together and win."
Lynn continued to praise his players.
"I feel that this club will continue to get better because of
their hard work and determination."
The question of "trial year" obviously surprised the coach,
but somehow that does not seem to be his major concern.
He wants to win.
Yet it's still frustrating for all.
Carter Whitmire of Orlan­do,
Fla. who came in second
in the 1000 freestyle also
broke a varsity record.
The swimmers will have
another opportunity to show
how much progress they've
made when they swim
against Georgia Southern at
Statesboro Saturday at 2
p.m. and again next Tuesday
at Auburn.
"We've really improved,
not just since last-year, but
since the beginning of this
season, too," explained
Coach Eddie Reese.
"We've worked hard, and
we have financial support
now. What we really need
now is the backing of the Au­burn
students.

ignorant of other countries?
Shahabi: I can't say the students here don't like foreign stu­dents,
but they don't know how to talk to them. They ask
some odd questions like "do you have snow, sun shining
there?" . . .this sort of question. They never know about
foreign countries so it's not hard to answer that and just say
yes.
To me, there are pretty good students here at Auburn. I get
along with them most of the time.
Baruah: When I've told undergraduates I'm from India,
some ask me if I get to go home on weekends and that sort of
thing. But, beyond that, as far as I am concerned, all my
teachers in the physics department are really wonderful.
When they talk to me, they behave very well.
I teach three labs. The boys are real nice. I think they are
very smart as far as their studies are concerned and are very
serious about it. They treat me very well, in spite of the fact
I'm a female teaching them.
Of course the students ask some real crazy things. Li \e be­ing
a girl, they ask why I don't wear earrings and that sort of
Ojeda: To come to Auburn has been a blessing to me. I
didn't know what to expect except that I was going to do my
best. I was told that in the south, the people are
prejudiced, but J never have seen anything.
My teachers were real nice, they understood me. I get along
with everybody. I haven't had the slightest prejudice com­ing
as a foreigner, as a Mexican, nothing.
Plainsman: What do you think about football?
Ojeda: The first day I was here, we had to go to Langdon
Hall and I sat in the back. We were introduced to Dean Foy,
(Student Affairs) and he was saying "War Eagle," he made
me laugh.
When we had the football games, and when I heard for the
ARADHANA BARUAH
. . .From India, physics graduate student
first time, we say the cheer "War Damn Eagle," I said,
"Damn I know is a bad word. My gooHrieSs what are we say­ing?"
The lady close to me, she said, "War Damn Eagle." I
said well I guess it's okay, so I will say it too.
I didn't know anything about football. I understand foot­ball
now.
Lau: I don't understand still.
Shahabi: When I came here, I saw the people just gather­ing
together talking and then throwing and running the
ball. But I got into it, and now I understand it pretty good
and I like it. I had played soccer a long time but I never knew
about the football here. . .which is great I guess.
It's one of the greatest games that ever existed in the
world. When you know what they're doing, you enjoy every
minute you're watching. Of course sometimes you get very
nervous but it's very enjoyable.
They never pronounce

And that makes it
Plainsman: How close are you to the student body?
Lau: I have been here less than a month, but I have found
the people I have met are quite nice.
Shahabi: Yes, I think they are very friendly. I've been in
over 20 states but I like Alabama better than any of the other
places.
Plainsman: Do any of you have language problems, try­ing
to understand or be understood?
Lau: I have some difficulty in listening to some of the peo­ple
who speak fast, as well as with the heavy Southern ac­cent
sometimes. That's why I have to tell them to repeat and
maybe go slower.
Shahabi: I was going to school in Washington D.C. at the
English Language Center. After four months, I was ready to
go to college. I knew how much I could speak and how much I
could read to pass the courses. I came to Auburn and I stop-

ped to ask an address and a guy started talking to me and I
couldn't understand a word he said. It was very discourag­ing,
going back and staying three, four, five months more
and learning some more.
Ojeda: Undoubtedly I guess that all the foreign students
find that English is one of the hardest languages.
Shahabi: It is. Over here they use a lot of slang. I was in
London before I was over here and I could understand them
very well because of the accent and they pronounce correct­ly.
They say "center," they don't say "cen-er." They never
pronounce "t" here. And that makes it worse to understand
it.
When I heard for the first time "War Damn Eagle,"
I said, " 'Damn'I know is a bad word. My goodness,
what are we saying?"
Plainsman: Do you think there is a drug problem at Au­burn?
Ojeda: I am completely against drugs. In Yucatan, we don't
have the problem with drugs you have here I think people
can find happiness and have a good time. without_drugs.
Shahabi: I guess that's the worst thing that's happening
in Auburn. I have heard oT lots of students smoking joints.
Most students think it's like going to different world, dif­ferent
personality. They think it helps them to study. They
think they can concentrate more on a book when they smoke
grass. And it gets worse and worse every day here.
Ojeda: I never saw marijuana until I saw it last year in
Florida at a lecture on drugs. So it was a surprise when they
tell me it comes from Mexico. I never saw any of my friends
smoking marijuana. I never saw it. But here, I know there is
smoked a lot ot it. I think we should do something about
it. The law should be enforced
Shahabi: The government is doing its best I guess. But, in
Atlanta many times, they capture a guy who is smoking that
thing and he yells, "This is my body and I can do anything I
want to with my body."But this is not right because you be­long
to society. The place you live is not all yours.
Ojeda: Perhaps part of the problem is because there is not
much family closeness. Back home, I am from a large family
but we are concerned about everybody. Anybody's problem
is everybody's problem. We do care for each other. It seems to
me that here in the states, they don't do it to the extent we do
it.
Plainsman: How does Mexico's government differ from
the United States?
Ojeda: In America, until now, you have the chance to do
whatever you want. But is it going to be in the future? I hope
so. But some college students are even shaking the
Viet Cong flag. They are communist.
I am against communism because I don't believe that com­munism
is the answer to our problems. I like capitalism. I
don't want someone to tell me you do this or this. Mexico is
one of the nations going higher because we are becoming a
little more capitalist.
If some people want to be communist, for example, China,
let China be communist. I think there is a little difference in
Oriental people from the western world. I think in the
eastern world, we are more concerned about technology.
Baruah: No. What is Japan doing right now?
Ojeda: Well, Japan was downed. America helped Japan
from the Marshall Plan.
.Baruah:. But even if I help someone he has to be willing to
s£ake the help. You say Orient Is'nbtvtechnbl6gy-6ri'erited,
which is not correct. It's just that their population has been
growing too much ana they have a hard time coping
But it does not mean thev are not technology-oriented.
Our economy is not as strong as the United States'. For
example if I was back in India in graduate school, I couldn't
have had as many instruments at my disposal. It's just that
the money is here and so they are encouraging people.
Whereas our government is free too, but it doesn't have the
money.
Ojeda: It is the same thing we have in Mexico. Because our
economy is not so high as the United States' but we have the
people to do it. We don't have the chance to learn as we do
here in the states.
Baruah: I was just saying that it is not that we are not tech­nology
oriented, it is just that we do not have the chances
there
"I think you have the wrong idea of this women liberation"
which, in a way, I think,is a bunch of crap. And I say it be­cause,
if you are going to work to be something and you do
the job well, I think you should get paid the same way for it.
You don't have to be for women's liberation. Everyone wants
to be treated nice, except those with masochistic tendencies.
Baruah: I think the American men treat the women very
well here. I have been out with American boys and they treat
me so well. They make you really feel special. The men be­have
very well. And many times the boys in Commons hold
the door open for me.
Plainsman: What is courtship like in your country?
Baruah: In my country we have arranged marriages, like,
suppose I am about to finish my education. A boy's parents

a lady, we treat her the best we can to be a gentleman to that
lady. If we are going to walk through a door, we open the door
for the lady, and let her pass first.
So once I opened the door for this lady and then she said, "I
have been for women's liberation." Of course I laughed. "So
you are for women's liberation" "Aren't you a lady?" I

would look for a girl among relatives, close friends and
similar background. They would introduce us and then we
would go out and make up our minds.
In old days you didn 't see the bride before the wedding day.
Now things are changing. My parents can't make me marry
someone I don't like.
Plainsman: Do you date before you're ready to get mar­ried?
I see the efficiency and the hard work that students
and professors are subjected to. I have never seen
such hard work- .
Baruah: Not as much as they do here. But girls do_a lot of
things with their girlfriends and boys do a lot of things with
their boyfriends there. You don't necessarily have to have a
date to go somewhere like you have to have sometimes here.
Ojeda: In Mexico it is almost the same. A bunch of girls, a
bunch of boys go to see this, and also a bunch of boys go to­gether
looking for a bunch of girls together.
Shahabi: In Persia, if you want to date a girl under 18 you
have to go to her house and just sit there and talk until you
get tired and go home. But if she were 18 or over, it would be
all right to go out anywhere.
Ojeda: Alex, do you say back home like we do back home,
"All women are good but some are better?" They're intel­ligent
too, women are.
Baruah: I believe in equal grades and everything else. I be­lieve
anyone who wants to do anything can always do it,
whether male or female, it doesn't matter.
Shahabi: Not everything.
Baruah: I didn't mean the physical things. But as far as
brains are concerned, I think they have the same capacity
and everything.
Shahabi: No, not the same capacity. I disagree with that
point. They don't have the same capacity. You can find some
intelligent women in their own way, but houseworking just
belongs to the lady. I never can do that. I hate washing
dishes.
It just seems that when you get married and the hus­band's
working and the wife's working they're both work­ing,
and that makes it terrible. Back home in my country,
they don't let the girls work. I'm so jealous of my wife out
talking to other men. I don't like that personally because I
like for her to stay home. Or if she's out for a walk, I'd take
her personally. I think there is some obligation.

But in United States, it is getting worse every year be­cause
they don't care as much as they used to.
Ojeda: Referring to foreign students having trouble get­ting
dates at Auburn, I don't think any foreign student has a
problem getting a date.
Shahabi: Lot of foreign students have a problem getting a
date. There are always at least 20 Chinese or Japanese stu­dents
on the third or fourth floor of the library every time I go
there.
Lau: They have their own circle.
Baruah: They do as much as any of the other foreign stu­dents
do. The Chinese have parties every Friday or Satur­day
together. They do it among themselves, even though we
may not see.
Plainsman: Do you think Americans waste money, have
too much to spend?

quite a bit of money because of pollution. They throw
away the paper cups, dishes. And sometimes I think that's a
waste of money.

and now it's 80 cents. Which is double after a year. Over
here it is very expensive.
Lau: I think the cost of living over here is not too high. Over
in Hong Kong we have the average monthly salary of a per­son
comparing with how he has to take care of himself and
it's comDaratively low here in Auburn.
1 think you have the wrong idea of this women
liberation which, in a way, I think is a bunch of crap.
Plainsman: What do you miss most from your country or
what from your country do you wish was part of Amer­ican
life?
Ojeda: Serenades! When I was in Yucatan, we used to
serenade the girls.
Shahabi: In my country, the families are pretty close to
each other. At least they go to visit each other once a week.
Lau: Really; so often?
Shahabi: They feel like they have some responsibility to go
see each other and they are happy. But over here, people
forget who their cousin is. A lot of the reason is that they are
too far apart.
Plainsman: How have you benefitted from being at Au­burn?
What have you learned?
Shahabi: I have learned lots of things. When I came here it
was a chance to learn many, many things. I am a completely
different person from three or four years ago.
Ojeda: I had studied something about Japan, India,
China, Persia, Hong Kong, but I had never talked with peo­ple
from those countries. But I came to Auburn and I know
some Chinese, some Taiwanese, Indians, Hong Kong and
Persians and we talk about "how is your home" and all this
stuff. It's a good experience to share those things with peo­ple
from other countries. We can't understand each other in
Spanish so we use English.
One of the different things we get here undoubtedly
is the schools. If we compare the schools back home to the
schools we have here, most of the schools in the states have
almost everything you need. Experimentation—you have
everything for that. Back home we don't. We have to match
theory, but practice—we just can't.

Baruah: I see the efficiency that I have not seen before in
my whole life. . .the efficiency and the hard work which the
students, as well as the professors are subjected to. I have
never seen such hard work.
I know the harder I work, the better off I get. And I know it,
I can feel it, I can see it. Whereas, back home, even if I had
worked as hard, I couldn't have seen the results as fast. I
have learned how to divide your time efficiently.
Plainsman: Did you learn that or did you have to do it to
survive?
Baruah: I had to do it to survive in the beginning, but now I
am enjoying it. It's a way of life. If you want to survive, you
learn to be efficient because you know that is the best way.
This is good because the world is getting so complex that, un­less
you are efficient, you get nowhere.

States, I will be more independent. And I hope to get some of

which I think is a good quality.
J hope to get some of the good philosophy of the
Americans. They have something which I think is a
good quality.
Plainsman: What do you think of the morals of Auburn?
Baruah: I think maybe because I move in a different circle,
I don't get exposed to much of it. We don't have that much
time even during quarter break because graduates have to
finish research. Undergraduates are much, much younger
than we are and they have less responsibilities so they can
do what they want to. Even if we wanted to, there's no time.
They treat me real good, especially the department people.
They are the only people I've had any contact with so far.
Plainsman: What do you plan to do with your education?
Are you going back to your native country?
Shahabi: That's a good question. I am applying to grad­uate
school After I get my masters I will probably go back, if
I don't get involved. My main point is just going back home
because you hardly see any place like home. I know it's a big
world, but it's not that big now that we have air craft jets go­ing
everywhere. Course, I am not a citizen here. So after I
finish school, I have to go back.
Baruah: I want to get my degree and go back home.
You can find some women intelligent in their own
way, but houseworking just belongs to the lady.
Lau: I will most probably go back. I am in the school of pre-pharmacy
to be a pharmacist. Back in Hong Kong, we don't
have a school of pharmacy, so I had to come to United States
or to Canada.
Plainsman: How did you choose Auburn?
Lau: Because my brother is here. Not all the states had a
school of pharmacy, so I chose Auburn.
Shahabi: Everybody asks me this question. Why did I go to
Alabama? Well, I have a couple friends here. When I wasgo-

ing to the English Language Center, two of them were work­ing
for American company and they said to come to Auburn.
And I came several times to the campus and I did like it so I
decided to transfer here. Also the city is 90 per cent young
people here so you just feel you're at home.
Baruah: When you're so far away, you don't have any idea
of the difference between Auburn and University of Geor­gia
Reason I came is very silly, but I still came. This school
didn't require GRE scores. And since I said the sooner I
start my studies the better, I came. 1 didn't have any idea
what Auburn was like, I didn't know a single soul here at
that time. But I love it.

"Umberto D.'
views life anew
Vittorio De Sica's "Um-berto
D." is this week's Free
Spectra Fine Arts Film to be
shown Monday at 7 p.m. in
Langdon Hall.
"Umberto D." was the last
great film of the post-war film
renaissance in Italy. Out of
the chaotic economic and
social conditions in that de­feated
nation, there emerged
a new spirit of enquiry, a new
way of looking at life, which
came to be called "neo-real-ism."
This 1952 film is director
De Sica's greatest effort. He
says, " 'Umberto D.' is the
film that I prefer among all
those I have made."
'Thee, Alabama'
tryoets slated
Tryouts for roles in 'Thee,
Alabama," an original bal­let,

are ballet roles for five men
dancers and "on point" roles
for seven women dancers. In
addition, five women will be
cast for the corps de ballet.
All dancers should be pre­pared
to perform a routine il­lustrative
of their talent. All
women should prepare a
short routine on demi-point to
their own recorded music.
Those auditioning for "on
point" roles will be expected
to repeat the same routine or
a similar one "on point."
Those interested in danc­ing
in the jazz idiom should

LOSE 20 POUNDS
IN TWO WEEKS!
Famous U.S. Women Ski Team Diet
During the non-snow off season
the U.S. Women's Alpine Ski Team
members go on the "Ski Team" diet
to lose 20 pounds in two weeks.
That's right — 20 pounds in 14 days!
The basis of the diet is chemical food
action and was devised by a famous
Colorado physician especially for the
U.S. Ski Team. Normal energy is
maintained (very important!) while
reducing. You keep "full" — no
starvation —-. because the diet is de­signed
that way! It's a diet that is
easy to follow whether you work,
travel or stay at home.
This is, honestly, a fantastically
successful diet. If it weren't, the U.S.
Women's Ski Team wouldn't be per­mitted
to use it! Right? So, give
yourself the same break the U.S. Ski
Team gets. Lose weight the scientific,
proven way. Even it you've tried all
the other diets, you owe it to your­self
to try the U.S. Women's Ski
Team Diet. That is, if you really do
want to lose 20 pounds in two weeks.
Order today. Tear this out as a
reminder.
Send only $2.00 (S2.2S for Rush
Service) — cash is O.K. — to Infor­mation
Sources Co., P.O. Box 982,
Dept. ST, Carpinteria, Calif 93013.
Don't order unless you expect to lose
20 pounds in two weeks! Because
that's what the Ski Team Diet will do!
