Students overwhelmingly elected
Jerry Batts to the presidency of the Student
Government Association yesterday
and for the first time in recent history
chose an independent to the post of
Miss Auburn.
Because of a balloting error, results
of the straw poll on U.S. Senators from
Alabama and on the U. S. Presidency
were inconclusive.
In the SGA presidency race, Batts
polled 3,397 votes to Jimmy Blake's
1,635. Batts took close to 68 per cent of
the 5,032 votes.
Reesa Lumpkin won the Miss
Auburn post 2,657 votes or 53 per cent
of the total. Her closest competitor was
Beth Chapman who polled 897 votes or
18 per cent.
The voter turnout was slightly less
that last year's when 5,649 turned out.
In the straw poll designed to show
student opinion on races for the U.S.
President and Senate, half of the
ballots had wrong numbers beside candidates'
names resulting in inconclusive
results for the poll.
In one of the most hotly contested
school campaigns, Mike Murray and
Mary Ann Cundiff won the two senate
posts in the School of Arts and
Sciences, out polling their closest rival
by more than 100 votes. Of the six candidates,
Murray received 632 or 29.34
per cent of the votes cast and Ms. Cundiff
polled 447 or 20.70 per cent of the
votes cast.
Jim Futral gained the Arts and
Sciences presidency receiving 410
votes or 35.22 per cent of the vote in a
field of four candidates. The vice-presidency
of the largest school on campus
went to Dave Dyson who received 545:
or 46.86 per cent of the votes.
Joe Braden polled 46.18 per cent ot
the vote to win the post of president of
the School of Business. Lindsey Boney
ran second with 38.81 per cent of the
vote in a three-man race. In the three-man
race for the vice-presidency of the
school, Kenny Rogers narrowly defeated
Mark Hart by a vote of 267 to
255. Jimmy Wright ran a close third
polling 225 votes.
Bill Thrasher won one of the senate
postsin the School of Business by a margin
of more than 200 votes. Thrasher received
510 or 35.46 per cent of the vote
cast in the five candidate race. Patti
Palmer won the other senate post with
273 or 19.55 per cent of the vote. Present
off-campus senator Jim Lester
SSoff
A runoff will be held today to
determine the next vice-president
of the School of Pharmacy.
Allen Almquist, 4PY, and Robert
M. Rosser, 5PY, tied for the position
in yesterday's election, with
both candidates receiving 70
votes.
One voting machine, in Miller
Hall, will be open today for the
balloting from 9 until 4. At press
time, however, Ed Rudd, SGA secretary
of Political Affairs, had
not ruled out the possibility of a
recount breaking the tie.
was defeated by a margin of 59 votes.
Bill Wilhelm came in third receiving
262 or 18.76 per cent of the vote, ahead
of Lester by 48 votes.
Lester received 214 or 15.25 per cent
of the votes.
John R. Bass is the new senator for
on-campus married students' housing.
He was unopposed in yesterday's election.
With 80 per cent of the vote tallied,
Chris Bledsoe won the race for senator
of on-campus men's residence halls.

Earth Week in progress,
to climax with speech
Earth Week started slow, but the best
is yet to come.
Earth Day is Saturday and activities
will climax with a speech by
Frank Graham Jr. at 3 p.m. in the Open
Air Forum. Graham, an environmental
author, is field editor of the Audubon
Society Magazine.
George Gardner has been rescheduled
to speak today at 11 a.m. in
Langdon Hall. Gardner is a graduate
student in the Economics department
and will speak on "The Economics of
Zero Population Growth."
After a bicycle ride to Chewacla,
which begins at 10 a.m. in front of Commons
there are tentative plans for a
concert to be held in Graves' Amphitheater.
As of press time, this has not
been confirmed.
Ed Cater, Zero Population Growth's
new co-president, commented on the
small student participation in Earth
Week by noting that it "came at a bad
time and will probably pick up after
student government elections."
WRBL television, Columbus,
reported poor participation in Earth
Week around the South except for one
active high school in Columbus.
Cater said that "Earth Week will
have served its purpose if it simply
paves the way for large-scale participation
in future Earth Week celebrations."
Rod Stewart
to appear Tues.
Rod Stewart and "Faces" will appear
in the Memorial Coliseum Tuesday
at 7:30 p.m. The rock group "Free"
will also appear.
"Faces," a progressive rock group,
has had several albums released, the
latest being "A Nod Is As Good As A
Wink To .\ ) Jlind Horse" featuring Rod
Stewart.
Stewart's big album this past year
was "Every Picture Tells a Story."
"Free," an English group, is here on
their first U.S. tour since regrouping.
Tickets to the "Rock & Roll Circus"
cost $4, $5 and $6.
Blast-off
After a week-long
series of
mechanical problems
that threatened to abort the
Apollo 16 flight, Commander John
Young and Lunar Module Pilot Charles
Duke successfully landed their lunar
module some five hours late in the
moon's central highlands area at 8:24
CST last night. All three astronauts
were described as "elated" at the successful
landing after the series of difficulties.
The command module which
is in orbit while the two astronauts are
on the moon is being piloted by Auburn
graduate Thomas K. Mattingly.
Plainsman Photographer John Cato
captured this shot of the Apollo 16 liftoff
from three miles away at Cape Kennedy
last Sunday.

Final hour - Batts, Blake
By Larry Gierer
With the Batts Campaign
It's a good thing that winner Jerry
Batts is not superstitious or election
day would have made him a nervous
wreck.
Earlier in the week an event happened
that would shake even the most
staid of candidates; Jerry's campaign
manager, Bobby Keen got the flu and
was in bed most of election week.
On election morning Jerry's uncle
had car trouble and Batts had to go to
his aid. Later in the afternoon he
learned that his new truck had been the
target of a reckless parker. Of course,
he had to investigate.
Upon returning home Jerry discovered
that the voting machines at the
Veterinary Medicine and Agriculture
schools had been delayed opening that
morning; perhaps discouraging some
students from voting at polls where Jerry
had expected his largest support.
Through all this adversity
Jerry—dressed in white slacks and a
red sport shirt—appeared cool.
At one point someone asked Jerry
what he would do if there was a tie. He
laughed and with a slight quiver in his
throat replied, "If it's a tie I don't know
what I'd do—probably get a shotgun."
He continued, "The best part of the
election is the friendship that one
makes. That's what counts, not the
winning or losing."
The time came for a journey to the
Lambda Chi Alpha house where many
of the candidates were gathered, along
with the broadcasting team from
WAUD radio.
A few minutes after his arrival, he
was led up a long stairway to an upstairs
room where he was to wait for the
all-important phone call. "This is
probably the longest walk of my life,"
he said.

Meal tickets
optional In fall
By Lucy Harrison
Plainsman Staff Writer
A non-compulsory meal ticket
program for women students will go
into effect fall quarter, Dean of Women
Katharine Cater announced Monday.
Dean Cater said that the decision to
allow students to chose whether or not
they will buy a meal ticket was made
last week, but many of the details have
not yet been decided.
The present five-day, seven-day and
nine meals per week plans will be offered,
as in the past, Dean Cater said.
The change allows women an additional
option of buying no meal
ticket what soever.
Dean Cater said she hopes that most
of the girls will continue to buy the
meal tickets. She feels that utilizing
meal tickets would be more economical
for the women, as well as better for
their physical health.
Associated Women Students President
Mary Anne Hall was pleased with
the decision. "This is something that
AWS has worked for for several years.
This finally gives women a choice as to
whether or not they will eat in the
dining hall," Ms. Ha 11 said.
like waiting for the announcement of
the Heisman Trophy," he said. Sullivan
had helped Jerry campaign in the
dorms during the week.
The phone rang and Jerry leaped out
of the black leather chair and received
the results. The winner then turned
around with a solemn look and the
grin broke as he let out a scream of joy.

With the Blake Campaign
Candidates are almost impossible to
keep up with before election results are
in and Jimmy Blake, 3PM, was no exception.
I first met Jimmy yesterday afternoon
at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity
house and his greeting was very cordial.
The entire atmosphere was.
I explained to him what I was doing;
that is, staying around the house
watching personal reactions as election
results came in over WEGL. He
told me that if I wanted anything just
to let him know.
He then informed me that his aunt
had been involved in a fatal collision. A
bus had pulled out in front of her car.
He stepped outside for a moment and
brought back in two Cokes, gave me
one and invited me upstairs to his
"headquarters," where he chatted with
a group of his supporters for a while.
Then he went home to be with his
mother and family because of his
aunt's death.
After he left, one brother commented
that it was "about time to get tense."
"I'm scared," one of the girls said.
(See page 5, col. 2) A BUST:
from arrest to court
By Steve Spear
Plainsman Staff Writer
The sky was clear and the sun felt
pleasant that Friday in Auburn. It was
mid-afternoon andv as usual, about half
of the student residents of the apart-m--
nt-complex had already shed
Auburn for brighter horizons. The
other half were lazily milling about the
apartments, going about their own
business.
Suddenly, the quiet routine of the afternoon
was shattered by the abrupt arrival
of two unmarked cars moving in
unison. Car doors flew open while the
autos were still maneuvering down the
driveway. Both cars quickly halted and
five men streamed out of each, racing
towards two apartments.
These people were Auburn police, detectives,
and men from the Public
Safety Narcotics Squad, the State Toxicology
lab and the State Department.
Some of the men carried solutions in
test tubes, eyedroppers, empty test
tubes and other analytical equipment.
Others carried sheaves of clear plastic
"evidence" bags under their arms. One
man, though, raced ahead of theothers
holding only a piece of folded white
paper up high over his head. He loudly
announced himself to be Detective Lt.
Frank de Graffenried of the Auburn
Police Department and that he had a
search warrant issued for the two
apartments. It was the beginning of another
drug raid in Auburn.
The drug raid has become a more and
more frequent occurence in Lee County
over recent years, for the nationwide
spread of drugs has not skipped over
this typically isolated community.
Since the beginning of 1971 alone, 88
cases dealing with illegal drugs have
been acted on by the Auburn Police Department,
or an average of one and a
third cases per week.
The fairness of laws against marijuana
and other drugs is currently a
subject of hot debate in our society.
However, the fact remains that any
person using an illegal drug is liable for
a bust. Few people, though, know how
it feels to be busted.
Tom, which is a fictitious name being
used to protect his real identity, has
consented to tell his story. He knows of
these matters only too well. This
Auburn student was busted on charges
of possession of marijuana and possession
of paraphernalia after a raid was
conducted on the apartment he once
lived in.
An informer was used in the case
against Tom. This man, an Alabama
State Trooper specially trained for
drug-related undercover work, was
brought over to the apartment one
night by a girl who knew one of Tom's
roommates. There, Tom said, they
smoked some marijuana and the informer
bought a small quantity of
marijuana from the girl.
Tom isn't sure whether his apartment
was already under surveillance
then or not. The usual procedure the
detective division of the Auburn Police
Department follows after an informer
reports a buy is to carry out further investigation
of the residence and residents
involved. If this investigation
seems to verify their suspicions, application
is made before a judge for a
search warrant. In this case, the judge
issued the search warrant.

to 400 AU students
Approximately 400 students ware
issued voting certificates on the spot
Monday by the Lee County Board of
Registrars, said Student Government
Association Secretary of Political Affairs
Ed Rudd.
A new registrar, Mrs. H. W. Kemp of
Auburn, helped process the applications
along with board veteran, Mrs.
Buck Norris, and 20-year-old registrar
Dickson Norman. Although Mrs.
Kemp was not sworn in until Tuesday,
she had been notified of her appointment

Bob Scott . ran second
with 56 votes and a close
battle for third occured between
John McClellan, 27
votes, and J im Manship, 25
votes.
Barbie Doyle, the first woman
student to be elected off-campus
senator at Auburn,
was among nine apparent
winners of the off-campus
posts, according to the latest
returns available last night.
Ms. Doyle had 1343 votes, ac-cording
to an unofficial
count.
The Apex party fared well
in the election, seating all six
of t h e candidates it fielded in
the off-campus senate race.
Election returns were
delayed for the off-campus
posts and the district senate
seats because of the paper-ballot
system used in the
voting.
The "favorite professor"
category spotlights an interesting
result—unofficially,
Professor Robert Samuel-son,
recently arrested for possession
of marijuana, tied
with Bob Faust for the title.
Kay Johnson narrowly
won the vice-presidency of
the School of Education in
yesterday's election, defeating
Donna Bolt by 12 votes.
Ms. Johnson polled 479 votes,
against 467 votes for Ms.
Bolt.
Ms. Johnson's margin of
victory was only one per cent
of the vote cast in education;
she received 50.5 Der cent of
the vote, while Ms. Bolt received
49.5 per cent.
Renee Hutchinson was
elected president of the
School of Education, after
write-in opposition to her

School officers' job responsibilities vary

By D a n Burt
P l a i n s m a n Staff Writer
New school officers have
now been elected to fill positions
of responsibility that
vary considerably among the
various schools on campus.
Beginning their new term
of office they can mirror their
predecessors or they can take
the initiative to alter their
role.
Statements made by some
of the out-going officers
reveal differing opinions on
the worthiness of the school
officer position. In some
schools the officers seemed to
fulfill a demanding but
thankless job; in other
schools the officers had little
or no respons ibility, serving
merely as figureheads.
This past year, out-going
president of the School of Engineering,
Ken Moseley, 3IE,
served as chairman of the Engineering
Council "which

said Tim'Finley, 3PB,
an 'angry young man.'
The reason Finley fumed:
Wednesday night he was in
charge of delivering and
s e t t i n g up the voting
machines when two unidentified
campus police ordered
him and his crew to remove
their truck from the Haley
Center Mall. Thus the crew
had to carry over 100 voting
machines, weighing over 80
pounds each, to the building
from the parking lot.

graduates and the
year's outstanding engineering

also "sponsored the spring

he said. As an indication of
the council's activity,
Moseley said it met every two
weeks.
Blanche Agee, 3FCD, who
served as president of the
School of Home Economics
the past four weeks, indicated
dissatisfaction with
lack of power exercised by the
office. "Officers have so little
power, do so little," she said.

A Review
By Jimmy Weldon
Lively Arts Editor
Stephen Stills, ex-member
of Crosby, Stills, Nash and
Young, and his recently
formed group, "Manassas,"
appeared before a large and
enthusiastic audience in
Memorial Coliseum Friday
night.
The show was a unique departure
from most concerts
because of the versatility of
the performers and the structure
of the presentation. Stills
and "Manassas" played together
for the first 30
minutes of the show, but,
after that, all eight members
were never again on stage at
the same time until late in the
concert. During the opening
numbers, Stills made himself
inconspicuous and allowed
the group to range through
intricate and lengthy instrumental
tunes.
"Manassas" came through
best on "hard blues" songs
with Stills playing a lead
over the others. During the
Tull to appear
in Tuscaloosa
"Jethro Tull," known as
one of the most important
groups in rock history, will
appear in concert in Memorial
Coliseum in Tuscaloosa.
Appearing with "Tull" will
be ex-"Tull" member Glen
Cornick's group "Wild
Turkey." Tickets are 4, 5 and
6 dollars t and the concert
begins at 8 p.m.

opening numbers "Manassas"
established itself as a
tight, powerful and innovative
group that could play
well with or without Stephen
Stills. As the show progressed,
Stills displayed his
ability not only as a singer
but also as an accomplished
guitar player.
Beginning the "blues set",
was a duo: the rhythm
player and Stills. The Conga
drummer entered the act on
"Love the One You're With"
and within the next few
numbers, almost everyone
had joined the show again.
After several downbeat (but
not necessarily "bluesy"
numbers), the band went into
a few country tunes and the
audience got a taste of some
excellent steel guitar work.
An up-tempo version of "For
What It's Worth" preceded
the playing of the entire first
side of tine group's new
album, "Manassas." Here
the show reached its limits
and its effectiveness as far as
the majority of the audience
was concerned.
Friday night, Stephen
Stills presented his music in a
professional and eloquent
way. "Manassas" proved
itself to be a distinctive group
exploring new musical fields.
Although Stills' "new" brand
of music will probably take
some effort to appreciate, one
might find it rewarding to
follow Stills' advice and
"listen harder."

Doesn't General Electric
realize the days of enormous
corporate profits are over?
There was a time, fifty or sixty
years ago, when a major corporation
in America might expect profits of
twenty or even twenty-five cents on
the sales dollar.
Those days are over. But not
everybody realizes it.
What would you call enormous?
In 1970, Fortune's Top 500 industrial
corporations realized an average
profit of about 4 cents on
the dollar.
General Electric fared
slightly better than
average. Last year,
our profits amounted
to about 5 cents
on the dollar.
We are occasion-
1 ally attacked, along
with business in
1 general, as being
"too profit-oriented."
People argue that if social progress
is to be made, business must make it.
And that profits stand in the way of
social progress.
We would argue quite the opposite.
The business of business is not just
business.
The purpose of a business,
as we see it, is to pro-duce
and distribute
necessary goods and services
to the profit of society
... and the business itself.
A business must reflect
society's needs. Economic,
political, legal
and moral, as well as
social. It must change as
society changes and, to
some extent, influence
those changes.
But if society profits and the business
does not, the business will fold in
the short run. It will have no operating
funds.
How much
profit is enough to
keep a business
operating? How
much is too much?
It's hard to say.
However, the
companies making
only marginal
profit are not thej
companies providing
new employment, creating new
products or adding to man's scientific
and technical knowledge.
Marginal companies are not the
ones making the important social contributions
today. For a simple reason.
They can't afford to.
No responsible company wants a
return to the days of the robber barons.
No responsible company wants
"enormous" profits. But no company
can survive without the profit system.
Why are we running this ad?
General Electric is a big, technological
company, with the capabilities
to do a great deal of problem solving
in this country.
We think profits have a direct
effect on our ability to solve
problems. But we realize the issue
of profits is one with two
sides. By telling you our side,
we hope we've moved you to
think about your side. Perhaps
even write us about it.
We'd like to hear what you
have to say. Please write to

York, N.Y. 10021.

Congratulations
After one of the most hard-fought
and exciting campus campaigns in
recent years, Jerry Batts has been
elected president of our Student Government
Association.
Jerry may be tired right now, but
getting elected is only a preliminary
to the job he h a s ahead of him.
First, he has the job of trying to
mend the wounds from the campaign.
To accomplish anything at all
next year, students must bind themselves
together as a group and
show their strength. Political feuds
left over from the election have no
place in the SGA offices.
Second, he faces the immediate
tasks of preparing a budget and
making cabinet and committee appointments.
The budget must be prepared
with care to reflect the goals of
the SGA and all appointments must
be carefully chosen to make use of the
most qualified students on campus.
But even these overwhelming tasks
are not the most important. What
counts is the day to day operations of
the SGA after the new men take office.
The job is rigorous and demanding
and discouraging.
But the fact remains t h a t with a lot
of effort, our SGA can be a n effective
tool for representing the Auburn
student and working for the betterment
of the University.
Our congratulations to J e r ry BattS'
and all other newly elected officers
and senators.
You've got a big job ahead.
Well never know
What will Pres. Harry M. Philpott
say when he meets with the Committee
on Fraternities next week to discuss
the issue of whether fraternities
should be required to have
housemothers?
Nobody knows. And possibly no
one will ever know.
Because Philpott stated yesterday
that he will not allow a Plainsman
reporter to attend the meeting.
Plainsman reporter Greg Lisby
who has been following the story
since the committee first discussed it,
called committee Chairman Garth
Jenkins this week to confirm the time
of the meeting and ask permission to
attend. Jenkins stated t h a t he had no
objections but recommended that Lisby
check with other members of the
committee and with the president before
attending.
Philpott told Lisby that "If we allow
students to attend the meeting of
the Committee on Fraternities then
we would have to let them attend
meetings of all the committees at Auburn."
That seems like a logical statement.
But it certainly isn't a legitimate
reason. We see nothing wrong
with letting students, particularly if
they represent campus news media,
attend committee meetings.
PhilpOtt argued further t h a t the presence
of a reporter at the meeting
would restrict the committee members
in what they could say.
The implication is t h a t Philpott has
something to say to the committee
that he wouldn't say in public.
Very well. If Philpott wishes to hide
his thoughts and his actions from the
students whom those actions affect,
there is very little anyone can do
about it.
We are all rapidly becoming accustomed
to being denied our right to
know.
(I i ... Really cool
With a giant whoosh', air conditioners
across the campus roared to life
Wednesday bringing welcome relief
to students, faculty and administrators.
To cut down on the massive costs
for operating the cooling systems,
plans had been made to wait until
May 1, to turn them on.
But Col. L. E. Funchess, director of
Buildings and Grounds, said that
temperatures in many buildings had
reached 85 degrees so the systems
were turned on this week.
We're certainly glad. Several buildings
on campus such as Haley Center,
Commons and the Library were
never designed to be used without air
conditioning. Windows in such buildings
can only be opened with a special
tool so the temperatures had become
almost unbearable.
Now it will be a little easier to stay
awake in classes and get work done in
the library and offices on campus.
Thank you Col. Funchess.
What a mess
It may be entirely coincidental that
Earth Week began as election campaigns
ended this week, But it
couldn't have been planned any better.
Elections each year result in massive
amounts of printed material being
strewn about the campus.
Certainly the candidates themselves
are not entirely responsible.
None of them toss their own campaign
material carelessly aside to litter
the area.
But Auburn students are responsible.
When handed campaign brochures,
too many students don't seem
to mind tossing them aside.
The only good t h a t comes from all
the litter is inside Haley Center where
it serves to add a little color to the
otherwise sterile atmosphere.
The campus chapter of Zero Population
Growth which is sponsoring
Earth Week h a s its job cut out for it.
The purpose of the event is to create
environmental awareness among Auburn
students.
Such awareness is desperately
needed.

John frimforrf
Nixon has simply failed
•THE ma WHITE FATHER K mm.'
It's been almost three weeks
now since the latest Communist
offensive started in Vietnam,
i
And the general reaction
among the public could best be
described as a lengthy yawn
followed by calmly moving on
to the next item in the news.
A nationwide survey conducted
by The National Observer
just after the offensive
began, indicated that Americans
are remarkably disinterested
in the latest developments.
Indeed, few are really
informed about what has happened
in Vietnam because
most have simply grown tired
of reading and hearing war
news.
One businessman from Portland,
Ore. is quoted by the
newspaper as saying,
"They've cried wolf about that
war for so long, who really
cares about what happens
there any more?"
The story even quotes a
student from Auburn's Montgomery
campus, William L.
Jones. Jones told The Observer,
"I've never been a
peacenik or anything like that,
but I don't understand remaining
in a country that far
away from us. I believe it's
meaningless to lose lives over
something so small, so insignificant.
And besides, it
doesn't interest me any more."
Such a reaction is easily understood.
The war has grown
old. And Americans who once
were actively concerned are
now either frustrated or just
plain tired of the whole thing.
As one Minneapolis woman
said, "There's nothing one
person can do about it."
Perhaps because of this
nation wide feeling, there has
been little anti-war activity or
reaction to the renewed bombing.
Most Americans apparently
don't realize the
deadly seriousness of what has
happened in Southeast Asia
during the last three weeks.
What has happened should
have been a somewhat stunning
reminder of the fact that
President Richard Nixon is not
committed to follow the wishes
of the American people.
In response to the Communist
offensive, Nixon has ordered
massive and reckless
bombing of North Vietnam.
Since February and the first
indications that an offensive
was being planned, theU. S. B-
52 force in Thailand and Guam
has more than doubled from 50
to 130 planes. Two hundred
fighter-bombers have been
added to the 400-plane force at
sea and land bases in South
Vietnam and Thailand.
Hundreds of U. S. planes
have been in the air daily
bombing not only enemy lines,
but major population centers
and industrial and supply
areas in the North.
This massive increase in the
air war has been excused by
Nixon spokesmen as necessary
to protect American
troops still in South Vietnam.
Actually it is necessary to
support South Vietnamese
forces who, without U.S. air
support, would offer vivid
proof of the failure of Viet-namization.
Nixon's Vietnamization
plan has cleverly covered up
his unwillingness to admit
that the U.S. made an incredible
mistake by entering Vietnam
in the first place and can
only rectify that mistake by
getting out now.

Deposit litter
Did you know that Auburn
spends $18 to $20 thousand
per year just to pick up and
dispose of litter? Three full
time University employees
spend all of their time picking
up litter that is scattered
across the campus, costing
the University $12,480 per
year in salaries alone.
With the advent of Eartn
Week, it seems as if people
would begin to think about
the litter. Everybody is all for
cleaning up the air and water
pollution, but how about the
little things that pile up along
the streets and highways and
in the parks?
At Chewacla, rusting beer
cans dot the edge of Town
Creek.At Callaway Gardens
Saturday it took three people
working full time just to pick
up the mess that thoughtless
people left along the roads
and in the picnic areas. Early
Monday morning the streets
of downtown Auburn looked
like a pack of dogs had just finished
ravaging several
garbage cans. The Buildings
and Grounds staff can
almost always be seen
around the campus picking
up trash after wayward
students.
The litter that unthinking
people strew is inexcusable.
It must either be left as an
eyesore or others must come
along and pick it up. Very few
people are too busy or too
feeble to hold on to a beer can
or a candy wrapper until a
trash can is available.
Buildings and Grounds
does an outstanding job of
being everyone's maid in the
parks and on the streets, but
it seems if the students were
more conscious of where they
throw things away, the
money could be spent in other
places where it is desperately
needed. Maid service for the
population is something this
country can't afford. Fighting
poverty is one thing, but
there should be a better way
to increase employment.
The problem of litter is not
limited to Auburn students.
The problem is universal, but
that doesn't mean it is hopeless.
Millions of people are
concerned about the environment
and are especially conscious
of pollution this week.
Thanks to the efforts of many
people, a start is being made
to clean up the world.
As individuals we can't
clean up all the industrial
wastes and solve the problem
of automobile exhaust overnight,
but we can walk a few
feet extra to throw away a
Coke cup.
There is no excuse for
throwing trash out to spoil
someone else's picnic and our
own environment.
covens continue to proliferate,
the Church of Satan centered
in San Francisco is said to be
thriving, bookstores are selling
more books on occult subjects
than ever before and novelty
shops sell Tarot cards,
crystal balls, and "I Ching"
books in record numbers.
In addition to its variety the
"mystic revolution" is truly
amazing in its magnitude. A
few years ago only a few newspapers
in the United States
had a regular column devoted
to astrology. Today approximately
1200 dailies present astrological
predictions for at
least 40 million interested followers.
In Great Britain as
many as 20,000 persons are reported
to consider themselves
witches, while the movie
"Rosemary's Baby" has grossed
$40 million. Recently the
purchase of Ouija boards exceeded
the sale of Monopoly
sets for the first time since the
depression. Obviously something
is going on. What is it?
It is tempting to dismiss the
current interest in occultism as
a passing fancy which will run
its course and disappear. Marathon
dancing, flag-pole sitting,
gold-fish swallowing and
telephone booth stuffing, have
all left the scene after enjoying
intensive fad status for relatively
short periods of time.
Perhaps occultism will follow
this precedent and be replaced
tomorrow by something even
more interesting and exciting.
There is some reason to believe,
however, that it may be
an error to classify present day
mysticism with short-lived cultural
rages. For one thing,
while gold-fish swallowing, for
example, was restricted largely
to college campuses in the
United States in 1939, heightened
interest in the occult has
recurred repeatedly for several
thousand years. Further,
mysticism has seemed to flourish
in times rather similar to
those in which we now find
ourselves-times characterized
by confusion, doubt and a
growing lack of faith in established
institutions. For
example, witchcraft and astrology
were major forces during
the decline of the Babylonian
and Roman empires and
witchcraft during the Middle
Ages was a threat to the existing
social order. The ravages
of the Black Plague in 17th
century Europe led to a revival
of sorcery »f massive proportions
and a minor resurgence
in occult interests accompanied
both world wars. And now,
once again, mysticism is back
and flourishing to an extent
unknown for hundreds of
years.
What contributes to the recurrence
of such strange belief
systems at this time? According
to one interpretation occultism
is most likely to be
found whenever people are
troubled by massive uncertainties
and when religious beliefs
are mord traditional
What contributes to the recurrence
of such strange belief
systems at this time? According
to one interpretation occultism
is most likely to be
found whenever people are
troubled by massive uncertainties
and when religious beliefs
of more traditional sorts
have broken down.
There is little question that
such influences are at work in
the United States. A Gallup
poll conducted in 1967 revealed
the majority of Americans
(57 per cent) believe that religion
is losing its influence as a
social force in this nation. Ten
years earlier a similar Doll indicated
that only 14 per cent of
those surveyed held similar beliefs.
This striking shift in the
assessed relevance ot religion
is dramatically correlated with
the emergence of mysticism
and interest in occult phenomena.
As people become more
concerned about their relationship
with the universe the
need for spiritual guidance
and reassurance becomes ever
stronger. It seems likely that
traditional religion has fallen
short in aiding us with respect
to our interface with an increasingly
troubled and troubling
world.
Contributing to this problem
is the apparent failure of
technological progress to solve
many of the difficulties that
plague our existence. PQIIHI,
tion, overpopulation, drug
abuse, increasing alienation of
the young from their elders, all
combine to create a society filled
with concern and worry.
Traditionally science has provided
means of coping w^qn
such difficulties. Currently it
would appear that technology
has failed to solve many of our
major problems and has, in
fact, endangered the environment
as a by-product of progress.
The benevolent giant
turns abruptly and threatens
our lives.
Truly the four horsemen of
the Apocalypse seem to stalk
the land while organized religion
and science fail to provide
comfort, reassurance and
solutions. Meanwhile the "I
Ching" may advise us: "Be positive.
Your attitude and sincerity
will bring help from allies.
Victory will come and a new
and better future with it. Relax
and rejoice." Many are desperate
and the temptation to
believe is strong.
A Quest editorial
Humphrey objectionable when close to executive power
Editor's Note: The following
is t h e last in a series
of evaluations of Presidential
candidates. The articles
were released by an
organization known as
SANE in Washington, D,C.
SANE evaluated each of the
major candidates in terms
of how he stands in dealing
with the institutions of
power in the path of peace,
particularly the military-industrial
complex and the
war-making powers of the
President.
The Plainsman recognizes
that the issues discussed
here are only a
small p a r t of the 1972 P r e s idential
campaign. Our
hope is that these articles
will stimulate thought and
discussion about the issues
and the candidates.
Alone among the Democratic
candidates, Hubert Humphrey
can be judged by his pre-formance
in the executive
branch as well as in the
Congress. He was a U.S. senator
for 16 years andvice-presi-dent
for four years before his
defeat by Richard Nixon in
1968 and subsequent reelection
to the Senate in 1970. His
long public career has been a
curious mixture of early
courage and recent weakness
in the field of foreign and military
policy.
Humphrey's greatest contribution
came during the 1950's
and early 1960's when, as
chairman of the Senate Subcommittee
on Disarmament,
his was virtually the only voice
consistently raised in the Congress
on behalf of world disarmament.
During that period
disarmament was an unpopular
issue and Senator
Humphrey did much to make it
politically respectable. He
labored vigorously for the first
major post-war agreement, the
Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of
1963.
His tenure as vice-president,
however, coincided with the
escalation of the war in Vietnam
and Humphrey became
the super-salesman of President
Johnson's policies. His
rhetoric during this period exceeded
the needs of the
Administration's policies,
which were unacceptable to begin
with. For example, it was
Vice-President Humphrey who
likened Robert Kennedy's suggestion
of bringing the
National Liberation Front into
the political processes of South
Vietnam to putting "the fox in
the chicken coop" (1966). It
was Humphrey who, as early
as 1965, responded to the protests
of radical students with
denunciations which further
alienated these young people
from middle-ground and middle
aged citizens.
As a candidate for the Presidency
in 1968, Humphrey
clumsily tried to paper over his
real differences with the positions
of Kennedy when, two
months after the latter's assassination,
the vice-president
stated they held
"remarkably similar views on
Vietnam" because of their
agreement that a coalition
government should not be
."forced" on Saigon before
negotiations. This statement
was refuted by four of Kennedy's
former aides, Richard
Goodwin, Frank Mankiewicz,
rthur Schlesinger Jr. and
dam Walinsky.
Humphrey struggled during
the 1968 campaign to show
himself as a candidate independent
of Lyndon Johnson.
After weeks of internal debate
among his staff and hints
that he would break with
administration policies on
Vietnam, Humphrey finally
delivered his long-awaited
major policy address in Salt
Lake City on September 30. A
partial bombing halt had already
begun over North Vietnam
following President Johnson's
surprise announcement
that he would retire and the
peace forces at the Democratic
Convention had called for an
unconditional bombing halt.
Humphrey said:
"As President, I would be
willing to stop the bombing of
North Vietnam as an acceptable
risk for peace, because I
believe that it could lead to success
in the negotiations and a
shorter war. This would be the
best protection for our troops.
"In weighing that risk—and
before taking action—I would
place key importance on
evidence, direct or indirect, by
deed or word, of Communist
willingness to restore the
Demilitarized Zone between
North and South Vietnam.
"If the government of North
Vietnam were to show bad
faith, I would reserve the right
to resume the bombing."
The statement was very conditional,
and fell short of the
clean break McCarthy called
for, although it helped boost
Humphrey's campaign.
In retrospect, Humphrey
shows a shallow understanding
of the reasons for the war
''and a desire nottomakejudge-ments
about it. In a letter to
The Minneapolis Star on July
10, 1971, he wrote: "I supported
the President's policies
•because I sincerely believed,
and still do, that his objective
is fully documented in the
Pentagon Papers. He sought to
achieve that objective by the
limited application of power to
resist the military actions of
fche North Vietnamese and the
Viet Cong and, on the other
hand, a constant search for
negotiations through every
possible diplomatic channel
plus a determined effort to
strengthen the social and
economic fabric of South Vietnam.
Regrettably, this
formula did not succeed even
though it was widely supported
and embraced by people
in and out of government."
Humphrey is most objectionable
when closest to the
sources of executive power.
Disappointing record upon return
to the Senate, especially
in refusal to support unilateral
initiatives by the U.S. to
reduce military programs and
the power of the military-industrial
complex. Continuing
support for arms control
measures does not offset slowness
in shaking off some old,
outworn attitudes.
American Civil Liberties Union to begin
campaign to change date of city elections
Friday. April 21, 1972 THE AUBURN PUIN&VUH
» i
The campus chapter of the American
Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has
begun a campaign to change the date of
city elections, held every four years in
August, to a time when more students
and faculty members can participate.
The election falls during summer
quarter when many registered students
are not in schpol and some faculty
members are on vacation.
"With the University comprising a
major part of the Auburn community,
the ACLU believes that students and
faculty members should be allowed
greater participation in local government,"
said Marc McElhaney, newly-elected
chairman of the campus ACLU.
He added that the August date "discriminates"
against students and
faculty members.
McElhaney said the ACLU plans to
pass a resolution petitioning for the desired
change. "We would like to see a
city election sometime in the fall—or
anytime that would not discriminate
against registered students and faculty
members," he said.
By state law, a change in election
dates must be recommended by the
City Council to the local legislative
delegation—in this case, Auburn's legislators
in Montgomery. Special legislation
advocating the change must
then pass the legislature with the sanction
of the local delegation.
Assisting McElhaney with reform
plans are the other new officers: John
Saxon, secretary, 3GPO, and Beth
Patton, treasurer, 2EED.
Students give 2,773 pints
Auburn students ended their three
day blood drive last Thursday with a
total donation of 2,773 pints of blood.
The students donated 600 more pints
than they did last year but the figure
was short of their world record of 4,812
University Senate passes resolution
to drop senior privilege exam
By L a r r y G i e r er
A s s i s t a n t News E d i t or
A resolution to drop the senior privilege
examination was passed at the
last meeting of the University Senate.
The proposal came from the Academic
Standards Committee. In order to
become University policy, the drop
must be approved by Pres. Harry M.
Philpott.
The two reasons given for dropping
the privilege were: the privilege h a d no
academic merit; and the policy of the
University requires t h a t the grade in a
course reflect the quality of the
student's performance in the course.
In other senate business a proposal
to increase the size of the Curriculum
Committee from six to eight members
was defeated. The proposal was to add
representatives from the schools of
Home Ecomonics and Business to the
committee and also to change the terms
of members from two to three years.
A proposal to establish a grade of
FN, failure due to gross neglect was
also defeated. This grade was proposed
so that "the University could
reduce failure rates without diluting
academic standards." In the senate's
opinion it would just be another grade
with which to bother.

She replaces Mrs. A.C. Newman Sr.
who resigned late last week for "personal
reasons."
Last week Mrs. Kemp had commented
that she was inclined to go
along with the previous policy of the
Board: students should state t h a t they
plan to become permanent Lee County
residents. Nevertheless, she and Mrs.
Norris, who also had favored the old
policy, went along with the student registration.
Earlier Mrs. Norris and Mrs. New-rri&

Students collectfunds
for arrested professor
A group of students and local citizens
are collecting donations for the
defense of Architecture professor
Robert E. Samuelson who was arrested
and charged with illegal possession
of marijuana.
The students from Architecture and
other schools have set $2000 a s the goal
needed to cover the legal fees.
The group headed by James C.
Bagley, 3AR, is collecting the money in
several ways. They are selling several
of Samuelson's publications: "Guide to
New York City, Houston and New
Orleans, Louis Kahn Architect" and
"Urban Planning." These books are
selling for three dollars apiece.
The group of over 80 people is also circulating
"donation slips" around
campus to collect funds and help keep
a record in case the court should question
whether or not money was collected
by legal means.
Bagley said they will also accept
anonymous donations which can be
given to people displaying a "Friends"
sign on the rear of their cars.
"Don't give your donation to anyone
without a slip to sign," he added. All
the donations are being kept in a supervised
b a n k account. After the expenses
have all been paid any money remaining
in the account will be prorated and
returned to recorded donors.

Getting busted- cont'd from page 1
The apartment was raided
between quarters while all
the occupants were away.
Tom first learned of the
search from a letter sent to
him by one of his roommates.
"Not even the landlord
knew of the raid," Tom
said. During the search the
police found a small quantity
of marijuana and some
paraphernalia. "They got my
favorite pipe, too." Based on
this evidence, warrants of
arrest were readied to be
served to the students involved
when they returned
for the next school quarter.
When the first student, who
didn't yet know of the search,
returned to the apartment, he
thought it had been vandalized
and called the police.
He soon learned otherwise.
"The place was a total
wreck," Tom said, remembering
his first look at it.
"The curtains were torn
down and dismantled, many
posters were ripped off the
walls, panels and lights had
been taken down from the
ceiling. Everything had been
gone through." He also described
a large, messy pile in
the center of the kitchen floor
where "sugar, flour, ketchup
and other stuff "had been
emptied."
The next day was the first
day of classes. He hadn't
been seated long in his auditorium
class in Haley Center
when the teacher called his
name and asked him to come
forward. After Tom walked
up onto the stage, the teacher
said, "These two gentlemen
wish to see you," and pointed
to one side of the stage. There
Tom saw Det. Lt. Frank de
Graffenried of the Auburn
Police Department and Sgt.
Arnold Henry of the University
Police.
Calmly resigning himself
to his fate, Tom walked over
to them and offered no resistance
to the process that
followed. He learned that he
was accused of possession of
marijuana and paraphernalia
and would be tried under a
misdemeanor charge. They
then informed him of his
rights, briskly frisked him for
weapons and promptly escorted
him through the
middle of the class to a
waiting car, each with an
arm tucked abound one of
Tom's elbows. They drove
Tom to the Auburn police
station, where he was fingerprinted
and once again
searched. After that, Tom
was escorted back to the car
and later found himself at the
Lee County jail in Opelika..
Given a chance to make a
phone call, Tom called the
girl he was supposed to have
a date with that night. After
telling her he wouldn't exactly
be able to make the date
and why, he instructed her to
get in touch with friends of
his family. Tom decided not
to call his mother (his father
is deceased) and still hasn't
told her what happened to
him. "Telling her will only
cause anger and heartbreak,
so I'm sparing us both the
trouble it would cause until
later. Besides, I felt I could
handle the situation on my
own."
Tom was then issued
prison overalls and locked
into a cell with his former
roommates, also in on drug
charges. Tom described the
night he spent in jail as being
"cold and monotonous." He
felt the jail trustees were
gruff and callous. "It was
freezing, so I kept asking for
blankets, but they never
would bring them."
Forced to stay awake by
the cold and the noise from
other cells, Tom helped
himself pass the time by talking
with the inmates in other
cells.
Finally, after a "metallic-tasting"
breakfast, Tom was
set free under $3000 bail bond
arranged by a family friend.
Tom said he was not told
when to appear in court, however.
In order to keep from
losing the bond, he was
forced to call the courthouse
frequently to find out if he
was supposed to be in court
that day.
Tom now found himself
thrust into a legal system he
knew little about. He first
made arrangements for free
public counsel for his
defense. He found the lawyer
provided for him, though, to
be far from enthusiastic. "He
even advised me to hire a
lawyer for my own good,
since he said he would only
work half as hard as a hired
lawyer, Tom said.
When Tom's counsel
couldn't find anything wrong
with the search warrant or
other police procedures, Tom
decided to "cop a plea." In exchange
for his agreeing to
plead guilty to possession of
marijuana and waiving a
trial by jury, the prosecution
agreed to drop the paraphernalia
charge and to limit
Tom's punishment to a $500
fine, plus court fees, and a six
month sentence suspended
for a year. Tom, under a misdemeanor
charge, could have
received as much as a $1000
fine and/or a year in jail.
Tom's case had been scheduled
for arraignment a few
days beforehand but had
been delayed by the backlog
of cases facing the court.
After arranging the deal
through his counsel, Tom
found himself suddenly
before the judge within a few
hours. He remembers the
judge berating an earlier de-r

fendant, a long-haired youth,
with the mocking question,
"Are you a girl or a boy?"
Tom, who normally sports
long hair, wore a short hair
wig when he went before the
judge. The judge complimented
him on how "neat
and dignified"'he looked and
Tom got the sentence previously
arranged for.
Tom paid the fine and was
relieved to be free of "all the
legal muddle." Tom, who
believes marijuana should be
legalized, is more upset by the
short-term affects of what he
went through rather than the
long-term affects. Although
he admits to bringing the
consequences on himself and
is thankful he got off as lightly
as he did, he feels he was in
general treated unfairly by
the legal system of Lee
County and resents the disruption
of his schoolwork
and the loss of his time and
money "for such a petty offense."
He considers his life as
being back to normal now
with no real changes due to
his conviction, "except for a
few of my former friends
shying away from me, but
who needs that type of
friend?" As for the long-range
affects on his life, he
sees the general public's attitude
toward marijuana as
changing in the future and
"making my conviction less
of a blot on my record."

ZPG unhappy with litter
By Pat Malone
Plainsman Staff Writer
"No matter who wins or
loses, it all ends up in the
trash," said Ed Cater, 1PB,
newly-elected co-president of
Zero Population Growth, who
is not the only Auburn student
unhappy with the
amount of campaign literature
being strewn over Auburn's
campus.
It seems unlikely that all
the paper can be retrieved by
the candidates after elections
as required. The part
that will be gathered up will
probably end up in the trash
to be dumped or burned.
Last year ZPG reused campaign
posters to advertise
meetings. This usage accomodates
only a small percentage
of the campaign litter,
however. Perhaps such
waste will be greatly reduced
in the future when the ESP
Ecology class' project for this
quarter is established. They
plan to begin a paper recycling
program for Auburn.
One person who has set a
good example for future candidates
is Richard Rush, candidate
for the position of
delegate to the Democratic
Natiopal Convention. He has
used 100 per cent recyclable
paper for his campaign leaflets.
Cater admits that ZPG cannot
complain too loudly because
of the many Earth
Week programs they have
•distributed.
Charles Otto, former ZPG
co-president, doesn't believe
that a wasteful number of
programs has been distributed;
"they all contain
useful information," he said.

These three young men just made the
discovery of a lifetime.The oldest is 34.
Remember when a young man could get ahead in business
simply by growing old? It was a good system for
those with a little talent and a lot of patience, but today's
technology moves too fast to wait for seniority.
At Kodak, our extensive involvement in basic research
has made the need for fresh, young thinking more pressing
than ever. So we hire the best new talent we possibly
can. Then we do both of us a favor by turning them loose
on real problems, and giving them the freedom and responsibility
they need to solve them.
That's how three Kodak scientists in their early thirties
just made a breakthrough in liquid lasers, developing
an organic dye laser with a continuous beam. Their
discovery means more than just a new kind of laser. It
means a whole range of new laser applications, in fields
from medicine to communications.
It was the kind of discovery most men work a lifetime
for. Yet these young men still have most of their lifetimes
ahead of them.
Why do we give young men so much freedom and responsibility?
Because it's good business, and we're in
business to make a profit. But in furthering our own business
interests, we also further society's interests. And
that's good.
After all, our business depends on society. So we care
what happens to it.
More than a business.

"The rally is not a race. Our
bicycle rally is similar to a
sports car rally with checkpoints
and staggered starts
at three minute intervals
from the Coliseum parking
lot. The course winds over the
streets of Auburn, ending at
the Delta Sigma Phi house.
All traffic regulations must
be obeyed with violators being
disqualified."
There will be two classes,
men's and women's. The
men's course will take approximately
45 minutes to
cover while the women's
course should take around 20
minutes. Checkpoints
throughout the course will
provide directions for each
leg of the rally.
To add interest and serve
as an equalizer, the rider will
be required to answer a question
pertaining to cycling or
ecology at each checkpoint.
Wrong answers mean
penalty time for the cyclist.
Winners will be determined
from the lowest of total time
and additional penalty times.
A 25<P entrance fee is
charged to cover the 20
awards. Anyone interested in
participating should register
at WEGL or call 821-2205 and
select a starting time.
Many people view the bicycle
as a sporting vehicle to
be used for short trips. Outside
of being a nonpollutant
means of transportation and
a great way to exercise, cycling
brings the rider closer to
his environment. The difference
in the time it takes to
make a trip by automobile
and on bicycle is not as much
as you would think. The
Chattahoochee Valley Bicycle
Co-operative hopes to
demonstrate this in their trip
from Columbus to Auburn on
Saturday.
Many people are uninformed
concerning the traffic
and safety regulations
pertaining to cycling. On the
roadways a bicycle rider is
controlled by the same traffic
regulations as an automobile.
As can be seen by
their actions on campus,
many students do not follow
these regulations.
"By participating in our
rally, we feel that you are
demonstrating for the safety
of bicycling and a cleaner
environment," said Howell.

Four Saturn V rockets were
launched at Cape Kennedy
last Sunday.
One rocket carried Apollo
XVI and three other cardboard,
solid fuel model
rockets, which had been built
by Auburn engineering students,
were launched.
With special clearance
from the National Aeronautics
and Space Association
(NASA), Ronnie Baldwin,
2CE, Andy Foster, 3AE,
and Jack Gentle, 2EE,
launched their miniature
rockets in full view of the

The annual Alpha Psi
Roundup galloped to a
"carousing success" last
Saturday as 14 sororities, 20
fraternities, and four male
independent teams gathered
at the Block and Bridle Arena
to test their skills in 10 different
rodeo events.
Chosen as Queen of the
Roundup was Sharon Crum,
Kappa Delta. A panel of
veterinarian professors made
the selection from a field of 13
candidates from 13 sororities.
Two events—horse riding
and cow riding—collectively
left 42 male contestants rolling
in the dirt. In each case
only three individuals managed
to ride the bucking
animals long enough to be
evaluated for the trophies.
Galen Grace of Alpha Gamma
Rho was the winning
bronco rider and Dave Mann,
also of Alpha Gamma Rho,
won the cow riding event.
A farmer's joke confused
some of the contestants in the
goat milking competition. Instructed
to obtain any
amount of milk from a group
of goats, some of the contestants
found that four of
the animals would give no
milk; they were billy goats.
Despite the confusion, Ken
Keen and Don Bryant of
Omega Tau Sigma were the
"fastest milkers" and won
the event.
Jim Gillan of the "Wild
Bunch," an independent
group, won the greased-pig
chase. Contestants here were
told to catch a 30-pound pig,
greased with fat; the first
contestant to grab the slippery
animal and return it to
the referee won the event.
The wild cow saddling
induced two male teams to attempt
to subdue 10 "wild"
cows. Clifton McKnight and
Ernie Tate of Sigma Pi successfully
went through the
motions. They caught the
most cows, saddled them,
and rode them across the
finish line.
For the women, a goat dressing
contest provided an opportunity
for creativity. The
girls brought various garments
and decorated the
goats—the "best looking"
goat won, but his dressers took
the honors: Cheryl Chaney
and Deedee Melochich of Delta
Gamma.
Patsy Haggle, Kappa Kappa
Gamma, won the calf
scramble contest. Assisted by
"one of the guys," Ms. Haggle
was the first to catch a goat
and take a ribbon off its tail.
Other spectacles: Martha
Dawn and Muff Self of Phi'
Mu were the first to catch a
goat and tie three of its legs
together. Like men, women
tried their luck in a greased
pig chase and 2 goat milking
contest. Kay Langford and
Denise Winghiemer of Delta
Gamma won the greased-pig
honors and Carol Mace and
Margaret Gibson of Alpha
Omicron Pi were the best
goat milkers. The overall
trophy for the men's events
went to Alpha Gamma Rho
with the "Wild Bunch" and
Omega Tau Sigma tying for
second.
The overall first place ,
trophy went to Delta Gam- .
ma. second was Phi Mu and
third place was a tie between
Alpha Gamma Delta and
Alpha Omicron Pi.
Entertainment between
the eventswas provided by a
bull, 1BU, and two clowns,
David Cain, 2VM and John
Crews, 2VM.

If you plan to buy a diamond this summer this is addressed to you. Regardless of whether you
plan to spend $100.00 or $1,000.00 you want to be able to give her the most beautiful diamond
possible for the money you plan to invest. You want the best buy possible both in size and quality
for every dollar you spend. We have a proven system to save you money on your diamond purchase.
We call it WARES LOOSE DIAMOND SYSTEM .
What is this system? Because one does not buy diamonds often, this is a subject that we feel
many customers welcome us devoting the time necessary to explain the factors affecting both
the beauty and value of a diamond. This is a step one in WARES LOOSE DIAMOND SYSTEM.
There are national standards today that can be very helpful in letting you understand diamond
grading. We not only take the time to explain grading, but using diamonds of different grades,
let you see examples.
Step two is the selection of that exact grade that will best satisfy each customer. Once you have
selected the grade diamond and size that will fit a given price range you are ready for step three.
Step three is the selection of a mounting. WARES LOOSE DIAMOND SYSTEM permits an
endless selection of mountings... or... because we make our own rings in our own shop... you
may design your own ring.
Last you should buy where you can find the best buy in a diamond. Right? With an understanding
of grading you can compare where is your best buy. Right? We say to you that we believe
WARES LOOSE DIAMOND SYSTEM can mean a larger finer diamond than you ever thought
possible. We ask for the opportunity to quote our price... on a given grade... a given size... and
your personalized mounting. We believe you will be impressed. Students from 141 cities in 18
states used WARES LOOSE DIAMOND SYSTEM in 1971. We sold 73 diamond rings to customers
using Birmingham addresses. Why? We think they tried our system and liked it. What
have you got to lose . . . a little time? It may be the best hour you ever spent.

Course results in'AY
By Paul Till
University News Bureau
An experimental biology
course instructing students
mechanically at Auburn has
resulted in almost doubling
the number of "A's" and
"B's" among students taking
the course, William H.
Mason, coordinator of
general biology, said.
! The students listen to taped
! lectures, do their lab work
1 and watch slides in one of the
;30 carrels designed for this
'-. purpose. They attend the
; class at their leisure. It's possible
to do a week's work at
one sitting, but the total time
required is about equal to
that of the conventional
course, according to Mason.
A faculty member is present
in the audio-tutorial laboratory
during much of the
time. Instructors are also
available for individual consultation
during certain office
hours and by appointment.
About 225 students are participating
this quarter. The
number of "A's" and "B's"
among these students is 55
per cent compared to 35 per
cent among students taking
the corresponding conventional
course. The number of
"D's" and "F's" remains
about the same, according to
studies conducted by the
department. The studies also
showed that about 85 per cent
of the students enrolled in the
audio-tutorial program
preferred the new method to
conventional instruction.
Even though students have
the opportunity for faculty
contact, most students don't
consult instructors. "Since
most students don't desire
consultation, probably because
grades are good, we
have cut the number of faculty
office hours from 24 to
eight per week," the assistant
professor said.
Mason said the course has
the advantages of reinforcing
the learning process
through the combining of lecture,
lab and visual
materials, allowing the student
to choose his own work
at his own speed and developing
a good relationship between
staff and students. The
method also helps develop
good study habits and self
discipline in many students.
"Allowing the student to
work at his own speed is
probably a contributing factor
to better grades," Mason
said. Another important factor
is that students can
replay any of the lectures
when he feels that certain
concepts have not been well
learned.
Personnel director adjusts to routine

The man sits coolly behind
his desk in the basement of
Langdon Hall, surrounded
by tons of paperwork, secretaries
dashing in and out of
his office and a phone that
never stops ringing. He has a

a smile upon his face.
The man, William R.
Myles, Auburn's new dir
rector of Personnel, d^es not

The annual Kappa Alpha
Old South Parade and Ball
will begin today at 4 p.m.
The fraternity members
and their dates, dressed in
traditional old South attire,
will parade by carriage and
on horseback down College
Street to Toomer's Corner
where the "articles of secession"
will be read. Then the
parade will return to "Fort
Kappa Alpha" for more secession
speeches and spring
formal activities.
Dr. Oversfreef,

Students from throughout
the Southeast will be judged
for the quality of their readings
during the three day festival,
Dr. Overstreet said.
Kathy Flanigan, 2GSC,
Marsha Folmar, 2GSC, and
Mike Merrill, 3GSC, will perform
solo for critics and will
be judged by Dr. Beverly
Whitaker of the University of
Texas. Together the three
will present an arrangement
of "When Lilacs last at the
Door Yard Bloomed" by Walt
Whitman.
Archibald MacLeish will
be a featured speaker at the
festival.
The readings that the students
perform this weekend

"I miss my freedom,
though. As a teacher I could
plan my own schedule. If I
wanted to work at home or in
my office it was up to me, but
now I find myself having to
be here every afternoon,"
Myles said.
He added that "lately we
have had some unexpected
work and we have had to
work from eight in the
morning until 12 at night."
Myles taught personnel
management here since 1949.
He came to Auburn after receiving
his master's degree in
industry from the University
of Pittsburgh. He took over
his new job at the beginning
of this quarter.
Although " he praised the
personnel department for the
"fine job" they hive done,
Myles is not planning to sit
back on the department's
laurels.
"I hope to have badly
needed training programs for
supervisors and for secretarial
and clerical work."
"Another project we are
currently working on is a personnel
policy and procedures
manual. This type of manual
would benefit everyone; for
instance, if a person wanted
to know what the rules on termination
are he could look
them up," he said.
"We have just received a
grant to help us with on-the-job
training," Myles continued.
"Through this
National Defense Training
program, disadvantaged
people can get a chance to
improve their working skills
by working in one of the departments
for five months."
The director also said that
women are just now starting
to get paid at the same rate as
men and that the University
has put forth a concerned
effort towards this cause.

Dr. Joseph Fletcher
speaks on ethics
Friday April 21. 1972 Tm AumiBN PUINSMMI
All Ten Commandments
expressed in the Bible should
be amended with the qualifier
"ordinarily," Dr. Joseph
Fletcher, author of "Situation
Ethics" said here this
week.
Dr. Fletcher, currently a
visiting professor of medical
ethics at the University of
Virginia, discussed ethics in
society with Dr. H. P. Hooks
of the Dallas Theological
Seminary, and Dr. Robert V.
Andelson, associate professor
of philosophy at Auburn.
"We have only one certain,
clear-cut commandment
which is an expression of
God's will and that is to love
God and our neighbors as
ourselves," Fletcher said.
"I am convinced that we
must love people and use
things," Dr. Fletcher said.
"Immorality is to love things
and use people. Our business
is to live by love and not by
law."
Dr. Hooks said that turning
around man's self-interest
would affect morality
in general. He said the degree
of morality is affected by
what love will or will not do,
or by the question of "will I be
caught?';
Dr. Andelson contended
that without principles to
guide it, love becomes irresponsible
sentimentality. He
said that universal principles
will not be banished
from society by society; that
universal principles will
always come back. He said
that Dr. Fletcher's book "Situation
Ethics" contains "devastating
inconsistencies
and is fraught with contradictions."

Mayor sets Mental Health Week
Auburn's Collegiate Civir

university function
aimed at "Public Awareness"
in mental health. The
mayor and Pres. Harry M.
Philpott, in support of this
effort, have declared next
week Auburn Collegiate Ci-vitan
Mental Health Week.
Projects for this week include
a speech and film by Representative
Pete Turnham,
president of the State Mental
Health Association, in HC
2370 Monday at8:15p.m.
"Mental Retardation is a
condition, not a disease,"
Dennis M. Corrigan, Mental
Health Project chairman,
said. "There is no cure because
a method of repairing
and replacing brain cells has
not been found. Indifference
to one's fellow beings is a condition
that can be cured, however,"
Corrigan said. "The
solution is concern, and that
is what the Mental Health
Week is about."

There are more job offers in
the co-op program than there
are qualified applicants.
"Each quarter, and
particularly last quarter, we
have many co-op jobs that go
unfilled," Dan Holsenbeck,
assistant director of the program,
said.
While the program is open
to students in all schools,
most of the openings are in
engineering. "Within reason
we can place any engineer
who wants to work," said
Holsenbeck.
The qualifications are not
difficult to meet. A student
must have spent at least two
quarters on campus and have
at least a 1.2 overall. Some
companies require a higher
average.
At the end of his second or
third quarter here, the co-op
student ' will begin
alternating between a quarter
of work and a quarter of
schooling. The alternating
schedule continues thirteen
quarters until the senior year,
which is spent on campus.
The schedule for pharmacy
and architecture students is
somewhat different. One
drawback to the program is
that co-op students take one
extra year to graduate.
According to Holsenbeck,
the most important part of
the program is actually working
in one's chosen major
while still in school. The student
is able to determine if he
actually enjoys the type of
work he is doing. If not, he
can change majors and continue
in the program.
Money is another nice part
of co-oping. The average
beginning salary for a co-op
student is about $450 per
month. Upon graduation co-
I"
op students often receive a
higher beginning salary
than their non-co-oping
counterparts.
Over 170- companies use
Auburn co-op students and in
some cases there are no;
enough qualified applicants
to fill requests. As an example,
the program has a request
from an Anniston
company for a textile major
that cannot be filled now,
Holsenbeck said.
The program is open to
both males and females of all
races. Information and pamphlets
can be obtained from

It's a lot of sports car for a little price.
These days you don't have to look
veryfartofind asmall, economical car
But to find one that's economical
and a pure-bred, SCCA-winning
sports car—well, that leaves you a
choice of about one.
MG Midget.
Just the right size for you, your
friend and enough gear to see you
through a weekend.
You'll discover that the real
meaning of "sports motoring" has
nothing to do with Vi-mile strips at
abandoned airports.
It has to do with roads that take
to the hills where the scenery and
fresh air are. Roads that turn and twist
and meander down the other side,
faithful to the contours of nature.
That's where terms like rack-and-pinion
steering, front disc brakes,
race-seasoned suspension and a
close-ratio 4-speed gearbox, start
making sense to the uninitiated.
And you'll wonder how you
ever drove without full sports car
instrumentation: an electric tachometer,
separate gauges for oil pressure,
water temperature and fuel level.
There's even a trip odometer.
MG Midget sports other standards
like a 1275 c.c. overhead valve
engine, mag-style wheels, radial-ply
tires, leather steering wheel cover,
reclining bucket seats, full carpeting
and three-blade windshield wipers.
What do you pay for this small
economical sports car? Of all the
proven winners now in national SCCA
sports car racing, it's the one with
the lowest price tag.
A little for a lot of sports car.

David House/ -
The Peoples Choice
David Housel is no ordinary person. To begin with he is in
charge of handling ticket distribution for his old alma mater.
Anybody knows that no sane person would dare venture into
a line of work where few friends are made and even
enemies are lost.
Housel has had to confront enraged students, alumni and
blood thirsty fans screaming for tickets for the past two
years. His memories are fond ones oddly enough, even
though his first year on the job is one which he might like to
forget.
"The first year nearly killed me," Housel moaned. "There
was a lot of cain- raising going on and I just couldn't sleep at
. night. A lot of people told me I didn't have tough enough
skin."
One particular encounter stands out in Housel's mind.
"This guy called me on the phone and boy was he mad. He
told me he wanted some Alabama tickets and I told him we
were out and didn't have any. He started cussing me out and
told me he was fixing to drive from Montgomery, which is
where he was talking from, and get those tickets from me.
John Wayne
"Sure enough about an hour later, I heard somebody outside
my office yelling that he wanted to see Mr. Housel. He
came into my office and looked up at me and sort of quieted
down when he saw how big I am (David is definitely not on
the Ayds candy diet)."
"However, I can honestly say, these two years have been
most enjoyable."
As you can plainly see a ticket managersjobdemandsan
unusual person. David Housel fills the bill nicely. His hobbies,
if you can call them that, are certainly not commonplace.
David is familiar with every John Wayne flick made and
his office is decorated with a scowling blow up Wayne's
gnarled and aged face. A poster of Wayne also sits on the
floor, with the saddle sore veteran promoting his Rio Lobo
movie. Books of Mark Twain on his right and William Faulkner
on his left consume spare time. .
Softball coach . . .
He's a part time softball coach too. In the center of his desk
sits a gold plated (make that gold sprayed) avtfard presented
to Housel by the Downtown Athletic Club of Auburn—Th&
People's Choice. It consists of a sawed-off bat with the handle
situated between a battered glove which sits atop the
remainder of the bat. The finishing touch is provided by a ten
pound gold colored dumbell into which the bat is stuck at a
slightly tilted angle.
"The award was given to me by my softball club, The Peo-
9 pie's Choice, at our Christmas banquett held at the Auburn
\ Grille," Housel quipped. "We made it to the playoffs in only
':" our first year of existence.
"I'm proud to be their coach but I'm running into some con-
I tract difficulty this year. I was offered a one figure contract
'• last year but I'm asking for a 50 per cent raise this year. I
'. don't think $1.50 is asking too much."
His John Wayne posters hold a deeper meaning. "I don't
know why I have them," Housel answered in a wondering
J voice. "He's not really a great actor. People say things don't
happen the way they do in real life as they happen in movies.
"But you know, every kid has a hero when they're young
and I guess John Wayne was mine. To me he was a big, tough
guy who stood up for a principle and symbolized courage and
3 strength."
Playboy bunny . . .
His Wayne posters almost caused David a very
embarrassing moment. I'd had that picture of his face up on
the back of my door for two or three weeks and really hadn't
noticed it for a while," Housel recalled. "Two ladies had just
walked out of my office one day and an athlete came in a few
moments later and started staring at my door.
"I looked over and there below my poster was a bunny
; from Playboy plastered right under it. You can imagine what
; those ladies' reaction would have been if they had seen
> it." Housel is also a big George Patton fan. "I went to see
• Patton nine times," he paid. "In fact, our publicity director,
• Buddy Davidson, calls me George instead of David."
Housel will leave his ticket manager's job as of June 1st
to become advisor to the Plainsman newspaper. He feels his
mainre&ponsiblility has been to leave the public with a good
image and feeling of the department.
"My job is really to serve the public," he pointed out.
"After all they're spending these money on tickets and they

Tigers' pennant hopes
riding on Florida tilts
By J im Dailey
Sports Editor
If the Tigers faint SEC pennant
hopes are to remain
alive, a sweep against the
Florida Gators in Gainesville
this weekend is a must.
Even though coach Nix
has made it clear that he is
concentrating more on getting
his own team to play well
than concerning himself
with the pennant chase, an
Auburn sweep would put the
Plainsmen right back into
the thick of things.
The Tigers are currently
tied for third in the Eastern
Division standings with Tennessee,
both exhibiting 3-3
slates. Vanderbilt is perched
atop the division with a 6-1 record
while Florida is close on
their heels with a 4-2 mark.
Two victories against the
Gators would vault the Tigers
into a share of the second
spot (depending on how
Tennessee does) and would
set up a head on confrontation
with the Commodores in
Auburn next Friday and
Saturday in a three game series.
The Tigers overall slate
dropped to the .500 mark
again as they split a two
game series against Georgia
and came out on the short end
of the score against nationally
ranked Jacksonville
(Fla.) to even their record at
10-10.
The two Bulldog contest
marked the seventh time this
season that the Tigers have
split a twin-bill. Jack Van
%f /
Yperen absorbed his third
loss of the season in the first
game as Auburn lost 7-6.
The Tigers turned things
around in the second contest
however, with Bill Lawrence
picking up his third victory of
the year in a 10-6 triumph.
Eleventh ranked Jacksonville
proved to be too much for
Auburn as the Dolphins took
two single games from the Tigers
6-2 and 5-2.
The Tigers committed six
errors in the first contest to
give the Dolphins 4 unearned
runs and the game.
Hurler George Wheeler,
coming off a sore arm which
has kept him out for most of
the season, pitched seven
strong innings but still was
tagged with first defeat of the
year.
Auburn centerfielder, Joe
Haefner, upped his home run
total to seven as he blasted
two inside the park four baggers
against the Bulldogs.
The output matches his
homerun production for all of
last year.
"I didn't really think I'd
have this many at this point
during the season," Haefner
said. "I guess luck has had a
little to do with it but I've
been able to get the ball deep
and hit it solid."
Haefner has no doubts that
the Tigers still have a chance
to capture the Eastern
Division flag. "No doubt
about it, we definitely can do
it," he said in no uncertain
terms.
"We just need to play some
defense. Defense is the key.

Tigers to stress
running attack
By J im Dailey
Sports Editor
For the past three years offensive
coordinater Gene
Lorendo's job of masterminding
the Tiger offense
was made a little easier with
the likes of Pat Sullivan and
Terry Beasley spearheading
the Tigers prolific scoring
machine
Now that Pat and Terry are
gone and with five inexperienced
quarterbacks to execute
his game plans, coach
Lorendo anticipates a new
style of Tiger offense.
"We don't anticipate being
the wide open style of team
we were last few years,"
Lorendo said. "We feel that
right now we don't have the
quarterbacks with enough
experience to succesfully
execute that kind of ball."
"Before, we had Pat and
Terry and when we figured
out something good to do
they went in and did it."
Lorendo continued. "Now we
may think of something good
to put in but we don't have the
experienced players to do it."
The Tigers will be running
from the Wing-I formation.
"With the Auburn Wing-I the
quarterback and the tailback
do most of the ball-carrying
and the fullback
blocks," coach Lorendo explained.
"It's a diversified attack
but it's not fancy."
Two schools of thought
dominate offensive theory.
One is that the passing game
will make the running attack
go and the other is that a
solid ground game makes the
airways open.
Coach Lorendo agrees with
the latter train of thought.
"Things may change, but
we're going into spring
practice with the idea of
developing and establishing
our running attack," Lorendo
pointed out. "We believe that
this in turn will set up the
passing game."
"Don't get the idea it's going
to be the old three yards
and a cloud of dust offense,
because it's not," he continued.
"We still going to
throw but we're not going out
there and throw 60 and 70 per
cent of the time and run the
rest. We've got some big
strong backs and we're planning
on using them."
"You can't live on the pass
alone, nor the run alone."
The lack of experience at
the signal caller's position
dictates a fundamental offensive
approach during
spring practice. "Since we are
inexperienced at quarterback,
there won't be any
fancy stuff on offense,"
Lorendo said.
"We must first be sound.
Before you try to win, you
must first try not to lose."
With the added emphasis
on the ground game, Tiger offensive
linemen will have
their work cut out for them
this spring. "Our linemen
will be drilled a lot more on
straight ahead blocking this
spring," Lorendo said.
"When we needed to run last
year, we couldn't. That will
change."
Lorendo believes a revived
running attack will cause opposing
teams to change their
thinking on Auburn. "We
haven't had the reputation in
the past few years of being
tough," he explained. "We
were noted for our high scor-ng
offense, but we never
really hurt anybody.
"When you rely on your
passing too much, you're not
as tough or aggressive as you
need to be," Lorendo con-tinued'.'
We're going to try and
control the ball more this
year and I feel this is the type
of offense we're best suited
for."
Auburn's scheduled Nov.
11 game against Mississippi
State has been moved to Sept.
9. The contest will still be
played in Starkville but
under the lights. The switch
was made to give the Tigers
the same amount of fall practice
days as Tennessee who
will open against Georgia
Tech on Sept. 9 also.
With this being the earliest
opener in Auburn history, Tiger
gridders will report back
for fall practice around the
middle of August. This
means there will be only
about a two and a half
months layoff following the
A-day game May 20. Coach
Jordan feels the players will
benefit in conditioning from
the short respite and will retain
more of what they
learned in spring practice.
Harriers host tough
Bulldogs Saturday
By Jerr3 Coombes
Plainsman Sports Writer
With Georgia coming to
town, Auburn track coach
Mel Rosen had a worried look
on his face. "On paper it does
not look very good for us...
but then that is why we run it
on the track," he commented
with a smile.
"Coach Hutsell and I both
agree that this looks like the
best Georgia team since 1939
when they won the conference.
They have several
standout athletes who rank
high in the SEC and they also
have depth.
"We have beat them
indoors this season, but now
we are adding two sprint
events and the discus and
javelin. They are strong in
the sprints and discus so
these added events should
give them an advantage.
The squads will compete
Saturday on the Wilbur
Hutsell Track, with field
events beginning at 1:30 and
the first running event at
2:00.
Pondering the 'Dogs'
strengths, Rosen noted
"Their best athletes give
them 11 possible first places,
that does not give us a very
good chance,does it? Where
we are hoping we might get
them is in our depth.
"If we can get seven first
places and some strong
second and third places, we
will win it. But it will be close
and very competitive and the
seconds and thirds will determine
the meet."
Rosen listed the Bulldogs'
standouts as Ray Hamilton
in the century (9.5), Joe
Shearouse in the 220 and the
quarter mile, Danny Williams
in the high jump (6'
4"), and Glenn Griffin in the
shot put (55').
Also, Ken Dumbleton in
the discus (151'), Ken Rosse
in the pole valult (15'4"),
Dave Settle in the triple jump
(48'5"), Philip Tucker in the
long jump (24' IO'/i") and the
quarter mile relay team
(41.0).
Rosen plans to do some
shuffling of his lineup
against the 'Dogs. The
Tigers' premier intermediate
hurdler, Milton Bresler, will
move to the 440 to counterbalance
Georgia's Shearouse.
Rosen hopes his second and
