A U- Georgia decides bowl bids, championship
By Randy Donaldson
Sports Editor
If a major bowl berth, a possible SEC championship, and
high national ranking did not depend on the outcome of the
Auburn-Georgia game in Athens Saturday, then the game
would not be that important.
But they do, and it is.
It's so important that ticket scalpers are demanding as
high as $150 per pair of tickets, and amazingly getting that
price for $14 worth of ducats.
In fact, the Georgia Athletic Department has announced
that it will sell 400 tickets to the general public for rights to
stand on a train trestle at one end of Sanford Stadium, and
400 tickets to a cross-walk at the other end.
And students here in Auburn have nothing on their minds
but the Georgia game. Typical statements were as follows.
"How did you do on your quiz?"
"Bad. Have you got any Georgia tickets?"
Sports writers from all over the nation have been calling
Auburn and Georgia wanting quotes from the coaches, and
complimentary tickets on the side.
But they, like thousands of other fans, will have to wish
that they were there.
"This game is the biggest Auburn's been associated with
since I've been here," Coach Ralph Jordan said. "There
hasn't been a buildup for a game like this one that I can re­member.
"And they're right. This is a big one. A lot's at stake for
both of us. I don't have to go into that. That's why I haven't
said anything to our team about the game, and I'm sure
Vince (Dooley) hasn't either.
"Why should we? The players can read, and listen. They
know the importance of the game, and players respond to si­tuations
like this."
What's the word out of Athens?
"I guess you would say that this is the biggest game we've
ever prepared for here at Georgia," Dooley, Georgia's coach
said. "This one has everything at stake. It means a lot.
"This is the week. This is the test."
This is indeed the test, not only for Georgia, but for
Auburn, too. Georgia is third in the nation in scoring de­fense,
and first in the SEC in scoring offense.
Auburn, on the other hand, is eleventh in the nation in
scoring defense, and second in the conference in scoring
offense, just a fraction of a point per game behind the
Bulldogs in the latter category.
Auburn is ranked sixth in the nation in the AP poll, while
Georgia is seventh. Both are undefeated.
Georgia defeated Kentucky 34-0, Auburn won 38-6.
Georgia ran over Mississippi State 35-7, while Auburn won
30-21. Clemson was Georgia's victim 28-0, and Auburn's 35-
14. And Florida was trounced by both teams, 49-7 to Geor­gia,
and 40-7 to Auburn.
"I know that Georgia runs better than we do, because they
work on it, and that we pass better because that's what we
work on," Jordan said.
"What may be a factor is their physical strength and
depth," he went on. "I hear that Vince can't decide between
Andy Johnson and James Ray.
"But we're preparing for both of them. They're the same
type quarterbacks. They can both run and they can both
throw. Georgia runs from the same offensive sets, so there's
no difference."
Meanwhile, Dooley has some comments about Auburn's
quarterback.
"Sullivan is an amazing athlete," he said. "I repeat what I
said last year—Sullivan gets my vote for the Heisman
Trophy. Together, Sullivan and Beasley are the best pass­ing
combination I have ever seen. And they prove it every
week.
"Beasley is great, and they have some more. Dick
Schmalz, for one, has had a fine year.

WEGL request cut $500
WEGL Manager Rene Brinsfield
said he was "concerned and upset"
about the way the Student Senate Bud­get
and Finance Committee handled
WEGL's request for $4,415.80 to com­plete
the production facilities of the sta­tion.
The committee originally voted to al­locate
$3,200 to WEGL, but revised the
figure to $3,915.80 after Brinsfield ap­peared
before the committee. The point
of disagreement was the committee's
use of an estimate prepared in July of
the cost of finishing the production
room.
Off-campus Senator Rob Lofton, a
member of the committee, said that he
had received information from Brins­field
over the summer that indicated
the station would need $3,195 to finish
the production room. This informa­tion—
a letter from station adviser
John Lopiccolo and another from
radio-television supervisor John Mat­thews—
was originally intended for
presentation to the Concessions Board,
a fund distributing committee which
gathers proceeds from campus vend­ing
machines and concession sales.
When SGA officials learned of an ap­proximate
$35,000 in surplus funds
early this quarter, the WEGL request
was handled by the Budget and
Finance Committee instead of the Con­cessions
Board. When Brinsfield
formally presented a request that
stated $4,415.80 was needed, commit­tee
members wondered why the station
manager had requested a lower figure
in the summer.
According to Brinsfield, the July
estimate, $3,195, was prepared before
he found out how expensive support­ing
equipment and accessories for the
production room would be.
"This estimate was just a
preliminary figure we arrived at by ad-

Karen/ Richard Carpenter
to entertain Auburn Tuesday
By Mary Ann Cundiff
Plainsman Staff Writer
The Grammy award winners Karen
and Richard Carpenter will appear in
concert at the Coliseum Tuesday at 7:30
p.m.
The singing duo has a musical fol­lowing
which, according to press re­leases,
includes everyone from hard-rock
afficionados to easy-listening
fans. Critics have described their
sound as, "soft, melodic and
wholesome."
Press releases contend that the Car­penters'
sound reflects the influence of
the "4B's," whose music they admire:
the Beatles, the Beach Boys, the Bee
Gees and Burt Bacharach.
In 1965, the Carpenters' career began
to rise when they won the Hollywood
Bowl Battle of the Bands. As a result,
Herb Alpert of A & M records signed
them to a recording contract.
The Carpenters' initial success was
achieved with the release of "Close to
You" and "We've Only Just Begun,"
both gold singles. Their recording of
"For All We Know," the Oscar-win­ning
theme from the movie "Lovers
and Other Strangers," brought them
their third gold single; "Rainy Days
and Mondays" gave them their fourth
gold single.
The Carpenters are last year's reci­pients
of the two top awards in the re­cording
industry—the 1970 Grammies
for Best Vocal Duo and Best New
Group.
There has been mixed reaction
among Auburn students about the up­coming
Carpenters' Concert. Martha
George, 1GC, commented, "I'm not too
crazy about their stage appearance, but
I like their music, and I've heard they
put on a good show."
Another student, Bill White, 4GB,
said, "It's a pleasure to see two people
who are personally close and able to
maintain their individual styles. They
are able to blend both vocal and instru­mental
talents to produce their sound."
Another student, Rootsie Sue Self,
1PL, commented, "I like their music, I
just don't think they are good enter­tainers."
Tickets for the Carpenters' Concert
are now on sale weekdays in the Coli­seum
Box Office from 1-5 p.m. and 7 -9
p.m. Tickets are available for $3, $4 and
$5.

Wallace to open special session
by presenting budget proposals
By Keith Bedwell
Plainsman News Editor
Gov. George C. Wallace will open the
special session of the Alabama State
Legislature Monday night with an
address presenting his proposals for
funding the state's general fund, edu­cation
and mental health budgets, for
the coming two fiscal years.
The legislature adjourned last Sep­tember
after failing to agree on appro­priation
bills to fund these budgets.
In calling for the special session on
Nov. 4, Wallace noted that the state will
not be able to meet welfare payments as
of Nov. 23 and medicaid payments as of
Nov. 25.
The state has been able to meet its ob­ligations
until this time with the help
of interest-free loans from various state
banks.
Dr. Wilford Bailey, vice-president of
academic affairs, said that Wallace
had given no indication of how much
money he will recommend to be appro­priated
to Auburn.
Bailey said that it would be "most in­appropriate"
to speculate on how much
money the University would receive.
The governor has announced that he
will propose a total education budget of
$818,000,000, but he has given no indi­cation
of how this money will be broken
down.
As a result of the failure of the educa­tion
budget to gain approval, Auburn
has been forced to operate on student
fees, federal funds and carryover from
last year's budget since the fiscal year
began on Oct. 1.
The resulting financial squeeze has
pushed University finances to a criti­cal
point.
To avoid the proration of salaries the
University has been forced to do some
emergency cutting. Unfilled positions
have been frozen, travel funds have
been restricted, lights have been turned
off earlier and heat has been shut off in
many buildings on weekends.
The most visible effect of the finan-

Student Senate approves
allocations of $11,240.80
A total of $11,240^80 in recom­mended
allocations from the recently
discovered $35,000 in Student Activity
Fee funds was announced by Ken
Farmer, chairman of the Student
Senate Budget and Finance Commit­tee,
in a meeting of the senate Monday
night.
The Senate approved the Budget and
Finance Committee's recommenda­tions
which now must be approved by
Pres. Harry M. Philpott.
Radio station WEGL received a
recommendation for $3,915.80 out of
the $4,415.80 requested. (See related
story on this page.)
The "Glomerata!' the student year­book,
received a recommendation for
$2,325 out of $4,740 requested. This
money will be used for extra pages,
color photos and typewriters.
The Lectures Committee, which
sponsors lectures on campus, received
The Carpenters
a recommendation for $5,000; $1,000
more than requested. The committee
received the extra funds due to the fact
that programs related to a number of
student organizations can be booked
through the committee.
The Religious Affairs Committee
received no allocations but was advised
to seek funds for lectures through the
Lectures Committee.
Allocations are usually made in the
spring, but the extra $35,000 dis­covered
early this quarter gave the
Budget and Finance Committee a
chance to allocate some money to or­ganizations
that did not receive
enough funds last year.
In other business at the meeting,
Dean of Student Affairs James E. Foy
told the Senate that a state law
prevented the Senate from using school
funds to join the Auburn Chamber of
Commerce. To solve this problem, Stu­dent
Services, Inc., and the Off-Cam­pus
Association will donate the $50
needed to get a representative on the

President Philpott
to rap with students
Wednesday in Park
Pres. Harry M. Philpott will "rap"
with interested students next Wednes­day
from 1 to 4 p.m. in Samford Park,
weather permitting.
Sponsored by Omicron Delta Kappa
honorary, the rap session was planned
after President Philpott had "expres­sed
a personal interest in having one,"
according to Bobby Keen, president of
the fraternity.
If the weather is bad, the rap session
will be held in Bradley Lounge in the
Union Building.
Wednesday's affair will be the fourth
Philpott rap session held in recent
years. The first was held in May, 1970,
after student discontent emerged in a
"Strike Day" demonstration over rules
for women students.
Last May, President Philpott rapped
with students on a variety of topics
such as discipline revision, drunks at
football games and curfews for wo­men.

Many Auburn students xeat too much of the wrong things'
By Linda Cornett
Plainsman Features Editor
"Do I have a well-balanced
diet? Well, that depends on
what you think of sand­wiches."
Although a majority of
Auburn students eat in
dining halls, boarding
houses or fraternity houses,
and theoretically eat nutri­tionally
adequate meals,
many are also guilty of being
hamburger freaks, nibblers,
potato pushers, and meal
skippers.
"Students like to eat things
that taste good not the things
that are good for them," said
Edwin J. Bengtson of the
Health, Physical Education,
and Recreation Department.
"That's one of the dif­ferences
between man and
animals. Our eating is emo­tional.
What and how much
we eat is determined by the
way we feel. A good example
of this is the crowds that flock
to the all-night diners during
finals."
"The problem most
students have is not in
getting too little to eat," said
Dr. William Turk, director of
Drake Infirmary, "They eat
too much of the wrong
things."
"I have one kind of ham­burger
for lunch and another
kind of hamburger for
supper."
"Oatmeal. I eat oatmeal
every day."
Just for o change- -
"I eat hamburgers and
French fries. When I don't eat
hamburgers and French
fries, I eat a hamburger steak
and French fries."
Dr. Betty Whittle of the
Home Economics Depart­ment
said, "Every time a
person restricts his food
intake to a limited number of
foods, he will greatly in­crease
the probability of his
not getting an adequate
diet."
"When someone receives a
diet deficient in some vita­mins,
of course the effects
depend on what he is defi­cient
in," said Dr. Turk.
"Generally, persons with a
poor diet are tired all the time,
not very hungry, they can't
concentrate, and are suscep­tible
to disease.
"It is possible, if the poor
diet is continued for a long
period of time, for more
severe long range symptoms
to develop. Again, the type of
symptom depends on the
area of deficiency. A pro­longed
need for vitamin B, for
instance, can result in heart
complications," he said.
In addition to "in-a-rut"
eaters ("My roommate has
four cheese sandwiches every
day, two for lunch and two for
supper.") are those who don't
have the time, money or in­clination
to fix meals, and so
settle for whatever food
presents itself, if anything.
"So far today I've had a

Vegetable/fruit—green ve­getables,

"Sometimes I get a TV

don't eat the vegetables.
They're too green or some­thing."
"Vienna sausages and
crackers. It fills you up, and
doesn't take long to fix. With
a beer on the side."
"Many students don't
really know what to eat, what
a good diet is," said Bengt­son.
"Often, even if a student
knows what he should be eat­ing,
it is hard for him to get it.
That's one reason students
are glad to get home; they
know they can sit down to
some really satisfying
meals."
"The basic four food groups
is a limited guide to good nu­trition;
its effectiveness
depends upon how well the
person selects what he will
eat from each group," said
Dr. Whittle. "It does, how­ever,
give a basic idea of the
sort of food everyone should
have."

were held Nov. 6, for the
recently completed Veter­inary
Complex on Wire Road.
The complex represents more
than 15 years of planning
and construction.
The large Animal Clinic
with its auxiliary buildings
and the nearby Animal
Health Research Laboratory
were completed in 1959. The
completion in 1971 of the
Basic Science Building and

Pres. Harry M. Philpott
presided over the dedication
ceremonies. President Phil­pott
said he believes the new
facilities "represent Auburn
University's continuing com­mitment
toward providing
the very best facilities for its
students. They will provide a
setting for a superior veter­inary
medical education for
our students in the coming
years," said Philpott.
Dr. M.R. Clarkson, execu­tive

cyclists and motorists for ex­treme
caution and for strict
observance of laws pertain­ing
to the operation of bicy­cles.
Chief Hammock stated
that although the greater
number of bicycles in use will
alleviate somewhat the auto­mobile
traffic and parking
problem, it h a s increased the
danger of accidents and in­juries
to individuals.
Referring to the fact that
bicycles are prohibited on t he
sidewalks of the business dis­tricts
of the city, Chief
Hammock said that cyclists
are subject to the same traffic
rules as the driver of a car,
and motorists must grant
right-of-way to bicycles, the
same as to other automo­biles.
Hammock said that many
bicycle riders may not be
aware of the state laws go­verning
the operation of bi­cycles
on public streets, and
of the fact that Auburn has
adopted these same laws for
the city. Specifically he men­tioned
the following:
Cyclists must ride as near
to the right side of the street
as practical.
Cyclists must obey traffic
signals and other regula­tions
pertaining to automo­biles.
Bicycles operated at night
(from one-half hour after
sunset to one-half hour before
sunrise) must be equipped
with a white headlight on
front and with a red light or
reflector on the rear. The
headlight must be bright
enough to be seen from a dis­tance
of 500 feet, and t he rear
light must be visible from 300
feet in the headlights of an
approaching car.
The chief also said that
strict compliance with the
law is necessary to insure the
safety of all bicycle riders,
and he stated that members
of the Police Department
have been instructed to cite
all violators.
All Spanish majors in

He was appointed to his pre­sent
post in 1967.
Gov. George C. Wallace
was scheduled to dedicate the
new complex, but was un­able
to attend. Henry B.
Steagall, a member of the
Board of Trustees, acted on
behalf of the governor.
Veterinary medicine was
added to the curriculum at
Auburn in 1892—the same
year football came to the
campus and the year the
i n s t i t u t i o n became co­educational.
In 1907, Dr. C.A. Cary, a
graduate of Iowa State
University received permis­sion
to establish a school of
veterinary medicine, and
subsequently became the
first dean of the school.
Throughout its early years,
Auburn's School of Veter­inary
Medicine was housed
in a white frame building
near the back of the campus.
It lacked space and facilities
for research and surgery. But
research went on in what­ever
space was available. Dr.
Cary and his assistant, Dr.
I.S. McAdory, performed the
surgery outside underneath a
chinaberry tree.
Upon Dr. Cary's death in
1935, Dr. McAdory became
dean. Dr. McAdory returned
to teaching full time in 1940,
and was succeeded by Dr.
Redding S. Sugg who served
until his death in 1958. These
first three deans also served
as state veterinarian.
Dr. Sugg was succeeded by
the present dean, Dr. James
E. Greene, under whose as-ministration
this new School
of Veterinary Medicine has
been developed.
AUM to formally open
Ceremonies will be held
Sunday Nov. 21 to dedicate
the formal opening of
facilities at Auburn Univer­sity
at Montgomery, (AUM).
The ceremony will begin
with a tour of the new
facilities from 1-2:15 p.m. At
2:30 p.m. Auburn Pres. Har­ry
M. Philpott will deliver an
address entitled "Auburn
U n i v e r s i t y at Mont­gomery—
History and
Future."
Later Gov. George C. Wal­lace
will give the dedicatory
address. The topic of Wal­lace's
speech h a s not been an­nounced.
At approximately 3:15
p.m., tours of the facilities
will resume and cont inue
until 5 p.m.
At present, the two build­ings
are complete on the
AUM campus which is
located between Interstate 85
and U.S. Highway 80. These
are the administrative build­ing
and a building which
houses classroom and library
facilities.
The student center is now
60-70 per cent complete and is
scheduled to be occupied in
February.
The campus located just
southeast of Montgomery
covers 500 acres and cur­rently
has an enrollment of
1850 students.

Melba Till Allen, Alabama
State Auditor, spoke to a
meeting of the Auburn
Student Accounting Asso­ciation
Tuesday.
Mrs. Allen talked about t he
duties of the s t a te auditor and
also mentioned some of the
problems that exist in ac­counting
for the state's
money.
"We do not have enough
help," said Mrs. Allen. This
problem exists because of a
lack of funds, and account­ing
departments are not al­lowed
to expand at the same
rate as other departments."
"Government spending
must slow down," continued
Mrs. Allen. "The number of
government employees is
rising faster t h a n the number
in private enterprise. This
cannot continue over a very
long period. The tail is about
to wag the dog."
Mrs. Allen told the ac­counting
students that the
most effective way for them
to voice their opinion is to
contact their senators and re­presentatives.

to handle your tax money a
little better t h a n we have in
the past," she said. "We need

Special session
John Stanford
Youth's exercising of voting right for from useless
Gov. George C. Wallace has finally
called the State Legislature into
special session to alleviate the finan­cial
crisis that erupted when the
group adjourned Sept. 22, without
passing either a general fund or an
educational appropriations bill.
The governor's action is long over­due.
At Auburn, things have been
running fairly smoothly on federal
funds, student fees and the normal
carryover in our budget from last
year.
But students have already felt the
pinch caused by the lack of appro­priations.
The early closing hours for
the Library are but one example.
And there is no telling how much
time and energy has been spent by
Pres. Harry M. Philpott and his ad­ministration
in attempting to cope
with financial problems which need
not exist.
Governor Wallace has, no doubt,
gained political ground by delaying
the special session and valiantly
saving the state with last minute an­nouncements
of interest-free loans.
He has made it look like the Legisla­ture
caused all of the problems and
that he has found all of the solutions.
Wallace and those who support him
have conveniently forgotten that the
problems arose when he attempted to
dip into the Educational Trust Fund
to pay for his programs that have
nothing to do with education—like his
mental health program.
When the Legislature balked at
Wallace's proposals and he refused to
change his mind, a stalemate came
about which caused all of the
problems. Wallace, a good politician,
refused to admit t h a t the programs he
promised in his last campaign are im­possible
without any direct tax in­creases
or without ignoring the
present financial commitments of the
state such as education.
Wallace has, so far, given no indi­cation
of what budget recommenda­tions
he will try when the Legislature
reconvenes but it is expected t h a t he
will be as stubborn as ever in his re­fusal
to face reality.
We hope he'll change his mind. And
if he doesn't, we hope there are some
rational legislators t h a t will stand up
for education in the state.
If Wallace is allowed to do what he
wants with our state's money, higher
education in the state hardly has a
prayer.
Last week's elections across
the nation indicated, contrary
to many predictions, that the
18-year-old vote will probably
not have any dramatic effect
on national politics.
In the vast majority of elec­tions,
students either voted as
their parents usually do or else
didn't bother to vote at all. In
many towns where large
numbers of them are regis­tered,
students swelled the
voter turnout but were not
crucial in determining the out­come
of the election.
In Bloomington, Ind., for ex­ample,
Indiana University
students gave mayoral candi­date
Francis McCloskey a
landslide victory over incum­bent
Mayor John H. Hoopoper
Jr. But the figures indicate
that McCloskey would have
won without the student vote
with his margin of victory
being much smaller because of
fewer voters. Only half of the
8,000 registered students
voted.
More often than not last
week, students didn't vote at
all. In College Park, Md., for
example, less than 300 of the
10,000 eligible University of
Maryland students were regis­tered
to vote.
In Athens, Ga., where an at­torney
general's ruling this
summer made it legal for
students to register to vote,
very few registered and even
fewer voted. Only 3,859 votes
were cast in the whole city.
Two isolated incidents oc­curred
in the elections last
week though, that are worthy
of noting—not because they in­dicate
any trend, but rather
they show what is possible.
In East Lansing, Mich., 10-
year incumbent Mayor Gordon
L. Thomas, considered a shoe-in
for reelection by local politi­cal
sages, finished a poor
fourth behind candidates that
shrewdly took advantage of
the potential votes from Michi­gan
State University students
that make up more than half of
the city's 47,500 population. In
one district near the campus,
Wilbur Brookover, who won
the election, had a plurality of
more than 3,000 votes.
The reason for the massive
turnout of students from MSU
was a registration drive this
fall headed by an organiza­tion
named VOTER (Various
Organizations To Expand Re­gistration).
Registration
tables were set up on campus
and free bus service was given
from the campus to City Hall
on registration days. By the
end of the drive, more than
8,600 students had been newly
registered.
In Columbus, Ohio, where
student groups also had a re­gistration
drive, the Ohio State
student vote propelled Repub­lican
Tom Moody into the
mayor's office ousting incum­bent
M. E. Sensenbrenner.
Moody won by a margin of
1,013 votes gaining his plura­lity
in a ward near the campus
where he received 2,617 votes
to his opponent's 886.
Neither of these examples
can be considered indicative of
any identifiable trend among
young voters. Indeed the coun­try
was not, as some feared,
taken over by long-haired ra­dicals
when the 26th Amern-ment
was ratified. Even when
they do vote, it appears that
most students reflect the same
of similar opinions on candi­dates
and issues as those held
by their parents.
But these examples do indi­cate
quite clearly that for
young voters, exercising the
right to vote is far from use­less.
In some cases, the student
vote can and will have drama­tic
effects on elections in the
future.
Give a Utile
Last Thursday the Auburn United
Fund kicked off its annual drive with
a goal this year of $44,000.
Boy Scouts and other youthful
volunteers canvassed the city knock­ing
on doors for donations.
Many student organizations are
active in the campaign including
Circle K, Cwens and Gamma Sigma
Sigma.
But more student help is needed. "It
looks like we'll have to drive very hard
to reach our goal," Chairman Howard
Carr said this week.
The United Fund, because of the
wide range of organizations it sup­ports,
is one of the most valid and
worthwhile charities t h a t we know of.
Agencies that will be helped this
year by the fund include such things
as the Auburn Inter-Agency Day Care
Center, the Crisis Center, the Amer­ican
Red Cross, the Muscular
Dystrophy and Mental Health funds
and 14 other worthwhile and needed
organizations.
If every Auburn student would
donate the cost of one six-pack to the
fund, it would be well past the half­way
mark toward its $44,000 goal.
Give a little. Someone needs you.

ZPG moving forward at Auburn
JUST LOPPED OFF A FEW R0U3H E W K *
From those first few months
of pulling up to a barely stand­ing
position, through that
period of experimenting with
moving about on its own two
feet, the Auburn chapter of
Zero Population Growth
(ZPG), has finally progressed
to its present stage of moving
forward with a seemingly end­less
supply of ideas, hopes,
promises and yes, even ac­complishments.
According to Charles Otto,
ZPG co-president, there also
seems to be some misconcep­tion
on the students' part con­cerning
the club's purpose.
ZPG is a non-profit volunteer
organization which exists to
control population growth. On
the national level, ZPG is a
political action group working
through the support and
strength of the local units.
This local unit carries out the
projects necessary in obtain­ing
and supplying informa­tion
on population control,
birth control and abortion
referral. Any questions con­cerning
this information may be
obtained through Charles Ot­to
at 821-7994 or Ann Philippi
at 826-6645.
ZPG is currently sponsoring
radio spots on WEGL which
they hope will subtly impress
the importance of population
control on the student body.
One such spot which the rea­der
might have heard is "If you
like children, have three or
four, if you really like children,
have five or six, but if you love
children, have only two."
Among ZPG's other activ­ities
is the sponsoring of a
speaker bureau composed of
students, professors, and
clergy. Lists of these speakers
are sent to area school boards,
PTA's, student councils and
civic groups with the hope of
educating every conceivable
group on population control.
On Nov. 22, a survey deal­ing
mainly with the Auburn
student's opinion on such
ideas as birth control, popula­tion
problems, abortion, etc.,
will be distributed among the
student body. This survey is in
conjuction with the SGA who
will be in charge of processing
the results and having these
results made known to the
public.
ZPG is presently working on
the tentative plan of
establishing a free birth con­trol
clinic along with VISTA
volunteers and Head Start
workers. Also in the planning
stages is a three day popula­tion
and birth control sym­posium
which will be held
through the help of the AWS. If
all goes as intended, this AWS
symposium will be held
winter quarter.
The Auburn chapter of ZPG
has by no means ac­complished
all that it intends
to but progress has been made.
With continued support and a
steady supply of workers, ZPG
may yet reach its goal of
population control in the
United States and finally
throughout the world.
• It's No time
We've watched it for years in our
parents but have never been able to
really understand that curious
phenomenon known as nostalgia.
They pull out old Tommy Dorsey
and Glenn Miller big band records.
They attend musicals like "No, No,
Nannette." They drag out musty rac­coon
coats to wear back to college
reunions.
But our generation, without a
nostalgia to call our own, has never
really gotten into it.
Suddenly it's here. We can now
relive those Saturday mornings when
nothing could stop us from perching
in front of the TV set to groove with
Howdy Doody, Buffalo Bob, Clarabel,
Phineas T. Bluster and Dilly Dally.
Buffalo Bob is coming to Auburn to
present a two-hour show which is
highlighted by a film of the tenth an­niversary
Howdy Doody Show.
Now we have our own nostalgia. We
can go back to those innocent days
when we drank Ovaltine, ate Wonder
Bread, and split our Oreos in half to
lick the white filling before we ate
them.
Buffalo Bob and freckled Howdy
will appear Nov. 19, a t 7:30 p.m. in the
Student Activities Building. We
wouldn't miss it.

Satchmo wanted people happy with his music
We told you so
We hate to say we told you so—but
we did.
We told the staff of WEGL t h a t they
had a lot of nerve challenging The
Plainsman to a game of football.
Now that the game is over, we don't
hold any hard feelings. As a matter of
fact we feel rather sorry for those poor
WEGL staffers.
Not only did they lose the game by
24 points, but we fear that some of
their frail team members might have
caught cold out in the winter weather
last Sunday.
We hope they recover in time to
come out for our next game which, by
the way, will be against that motley,
unorganized crew from the "Glo-merata"
if they have the nerve to
accept our challenge.
THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN
Everyone was saddened by
the death of Louis Armstrong
this summer. To some, he was
a warm and comical
entertainer who amused us all
with novelties like "Hello Dol­ly."
To others—those with a
knowledge of twentieth cen­tury
music—he was a genius.
To me, he is the "Man of the
Century," despite SirWinston
Churchill who currently holds
the title.
Nearly 71 when he died,
"Satchmo" contributed much
more to rhythmic music than
most of the rock generation
could ever imagine.
Unfortunately, the Louis;
Armstrong this generation
saw and heard was only a
warm fragment of the orphan
who blew his first great notes
on a battered horn that is now
in Preservation Hall in New
Orleans. Back in the 1920's,
the hottest thing around was
the music "Satchmo" and
some early black pioneers were
playing. In the shady, back-street
clubs (speakeasy joints),
Louis and his friends were
engaging in a creative process
that set the pace for the major
musical form of this cen­tury—"
jazz"—or modern
rhythmic music which has
developed into innumerable
idioms, all of which feature the
combination of black and
white influences.
One of "Satchmo's" big mo­ments
occurred in 1923, when
he was playing second trumpet
with King Oliver's band. One
day, Satch decided to add a few
extra notes to a tune, shocking
his colleagues as he went
along. One of those present
remembers, "As he started
playing, I dropped my
cigarette and gulped my drink.
Bix (the other trumpet player)
was on his feet, his eyes pop-poing.
. .Louis was taking it
fast. Every note that Louis hit
was perfection." (from "The
Story of Jazz," by Marshall
Stearns)
Louis has been astonishing
the musical world like that for
a long time. Eventually, he
was taken for granted; other
musicians picked up his con­tributions,
embellished upon
them, and continued the
revolution.
Today "Satchmo's" con­tributions
may seem old to
some. Back in the twenties and
thirties, however, Louis was
responsible for cementing the
innovation of playing around
and between the beat in a
highly syncopated fashion.
Today this is common, but
historically, this practice was
the point of departure from
corny two beat music to swing
jazz. The effect was like taking
a Sousa march rhythm and
putting some soul in it.
"Satchmo"also sang, and, as
some quickly point out, not
very well. Certainly he had no
extraordinary tone or range,
but again he was singing
around and between the beat
and the melody, an important
innovation. Dig the ad lib: "da-ba-
da-bop-deraahhh, bop-ba-da-
diss-do-wah." He wasn't
just clowning; he was having a
damn good time with the
music.
But there is another more
important contribution—the
personality of Louis
Armstrong. He just made you
feel good. Originally a poor,
black boy from an orphanage,
Louis smiled all of his life and
with that indescribable voice
told, everybody, to "love, baby,
love."
This gesture was no put-on.
"Satchmo" was not a bleeding
heart altruist or, as some
vicious critics have charged,
an "Uncle Tom." He was proud
of his contributions, and right­fully
took full credit for his in­novations.
So what if he grin­ned
a lot?
Louis' obsession was a
desire to see people happy with
his music. He wore himself out
playing and singing, day in
and day out, in small clubs, on
street corners, in shopping
centers, and on radio and
television. In the early sixties,
"Satchmo" became "an
ambassador" and poured out
his music to international
audiences including an
enthusiastic throng in the
Congo. There, the natives
painted themselves purple in
appreciation and paraded
"Satchmo" through the streets
of Leopoldville.
In his later years, when his
lip was too weak to play,
"Satchmo" would just sing,
and everybody would dig it.
For the kids, he recorded an
album of Walt Disney music.
Don't laugh—its beautiful.
One of the last records
"Satchmo" cut was a vocal ef­fort
that featured one of his
favorite songs, "What a
Wonderful World." The song is
preceded by a moving
monologue.
For its social value, it is
worth repeating: "Some of you
young folks been saying to me,
'what you mean what a
wonderful world'? How 'bout
all them wars all over the
place; you call them wonder­ful?
And how 'bout hunger and
pollution? They ain't so won­derful
either. But how 'bout
listening to old Satch for a
minute. Seems to me it ain't the
world that's so bad but what
we're doing to it. And all I'm
saying is see what a wonderful
world it would be if we would
only give it a chance. Love,
baby, love. That's the secret.
Yeah. If lots more people loved
each other, we would solve lots
more problems, and, man, this
world would be a gasser."

By Dr. William E. Hug
Head, Department of
Educational Media
The preoccupation of Amer­icans
with material progress is
being replaced by a realiza­tion
that the most threatening
problems are organizational.
It is the organization that
leads to a feeling of alienation.
It is the organization that is
blocking equal opportunities
for all. It is the organization
that obstructs the schools from
obtaining adequate financing,
from developing tech­nological
responsibility, and
from striving toward
maximum efficiency.
Although most people are
arguing that technology is the
vehicle that will transform the
schools, I would express some
serious doubts. I would argue
that the technology is here.
The way we become organized
to accomplish our tasks will
produce a different but more
conspicuous kind of change
and will be the kind of change
that will distinguish the future
from the technological revolu­tion
of the past.
That an establishment-spawned
effort to reorganize
the schools will initiate reform
is doubtful. More hope comes
from the impact of grass roots
movements than from all of
the political maneuvering that
seems to be continually crush­ing
us all.
The kind of change most
hopeful comes from incidents
such as the recent ruling of the
California Supreme Court. The
Court ruled by a margin of six
to one that the California sys­tem
for funding schools
through local property taxes
violated the equal-protection
clause of the 14th Amend­ment.
Every informed citizen is
aware that affluent districts
can provide better educational
opportunities than inner city
districts in moststates.Hawaii
has provided one alternative
by establishing a statewide
system which taxes, property
uniformly and distributes pro­ceeds
equally throughout the
state.
For years, the cities have
witnessed the move of the
great middle class from the
cities to the suburbs where bet­ter
educational opportunities
are available. The schools
were better because the the pro­perty
taxes produced more
taxes. Even though law
makers have been aware of the
disparity among school dis­tricts,
they have not shown
great enthusiasm toward
generating or supporting the
kinds of reform needed. The
California decision may mean
that law makers have no alter­native
but to change to a more
equitable system.
The way we are organized to
finance our schools is only one
of many structures that must
be changed if schools are to
serve society effectively and ef­ficiently.
The modernization of
state tax and finance
structures can provide the
means by which other
important changes can occur.
Providing money does not in it­self
insure quality educational
programs. We also need to
change the way money is be­ing
spent.
The critical problem of how
schools should be organized to
best serve society is the chal­lenge
of the future. The
California decision provides
evidence that the opportunity
for organizational change
exists. Regardless of the way
organizational change. is
initiated, changes must occur.
The organizational struc­tures
under which school dis­tricts
are currently function­ing
not only block changes
that are long overdue, but can
also undermine the very
foundation that maintains the
status quo.

WEGL manager 'concerned, upset' over senate committee allocations
ding up the cost of proposed equip­ment—
an audio console, tape
machines as well as $195 for other
equipment. It wasn't a complete or ac­curate
estimate, and we didn't submit it
to the Student Senate or anyone else,"
Brinsfield commented.
Ken Farmer, chairman of the budget
and finance committee, pointed out
that the $3,915.80 allocation finally
granted WEGL was only $500 short of
the station's request. Farmer said,
"The $500 that was cut was for a piece
of equipment to be used in the news
room." He added, "The money recom­mended
for allocation is to be used to
complete the production room at the
radio station." WEGL was one of the
few activities that received an in­creased
budget for 1971-72, Farmer also
noted.
Brinsfield said he was concerned
that the committee had the impression
that the WEGL fund request was
related to the station increasing power
to 1000 watts. "We need the production
room for the station now with our 10-
watt transmitter, and the request we
submitted was only for production
equipment, not a 1000-watt transmit­ter,"
he stated.
WEGL faculty adviser John Lopic-colo
added, "Increasing the power of

Funeral services were held Tuesday

Services were conducted at Union Ce­metery

Two years ago Dr. Strong left for a

that of assistant dean of engineering

the station is still a long way off. We
would have to get the approval of the
University president and a construc­tion
permit from the FCC before we
could go to 1000 watts." These steps
alone could take up to a year.
The meetings of the budget and
finance committee were closed after
WEGL audio reporters attended the
Oct. 20 meeting of the committee and
were asked to leave when it began

Ombudsman
Q) Can a student who lacks only
one quarter's work to graduate
take the courses required at an­other
college and still graduate
from Auburn?
A) Yes. A student wishing to do this
must get a permit from his dean allow­ing
him to take the courses off campus.
He must register clearing with the gra­duation
office and pay a $20 fee.
Q) If you receive a grade of " F " in
a course, can you take it over again
and have your second grade
replace the "F"?
A) No, the " F " will always remain on
your permanent record. If you take the
course, again, it will be counted
towards your graduation require­ments.
Both grades would be used in ta­bulating
your over-all grade point
average.
Q) Can student tickets be vali­dated
to the Auburn-Alabama
game?
A) No, the Student Senate recom­mended
this policy when the new ticket
ordering procedure was drawn up. Be­cause
there are not enough student
tickets available for all Auburn
students applying, it would be unfair
for a person to validate a ticket to be
used by a non-student. Also, a ticket
could be validated and then scalped as
a guest ticket.
Q) Can a student apply for
Student Health Insurance at the
beginning of any quarter?
A) Yes, the premiums are prorated so
you won't have to pay a full year's pre­mium
for only part of a year's coverage.
Q) If a person is self-supporting,
must his parents fill out the forms
necessary to be on the work-study
program?
A) If a student has not lived with his
parents for the past year, hasn't re­ceived
over $200 from his parents in the
last year or in the coming year, and
wasn't claimed as a dependent on the
last year's tax return, the student may
fill out his own form. Otherwise, his
parents will have to complete the
forms.
Editor, The Plainsman:
With all the concern that is on col­lege
campuses today in relation to pol­lution
and ecology, it seems almost un­thinkable
that Auburn students could
actually befoul a beautiful lake in the
name of practical joke.
Sometime during the night of
November the 5th several gallons of
motor oil were dumped into the SAE
lake and set on fire, resulting in many
unsightly, black streaks extending the
entire length of the lake. To some, this
incident might have appeared to be a
harmless prank rather than an
absurdity. To the brothers of SAE, it
was an insult that someone would feel
so much active hostility towards us
that they would actually dissipate an
enrichment of nature.
If anymore animosities exist, per­haps
we should all reach for a more
ethical solution than defacing private
property. ^
Visitor chides
student spirit
Editor, The Plainsman:
Having visited the Auburn campus
quite frequently this fall, I have been
impressed by many things—the friend­liness
of the students, the beauty of the
campus and the greatness of the foot­ball
team. I am so pleased with Auburn
University that I have decided to
further my education here next year.
A few weeks ago, however, I wit­nessed
a very depressing action by
many of the students and so-called sup­porters
of the football team. After a fan­tastic
concert by Ike and Tina Turner, a
pep rally for the "Tigers" began, yet
people flowed from the Coliseum as
though nothing were happening on the
stage. As Pat Sullivan, a great quarter­back
and an outstanding leader, spoke
of the team's appreciation for the
support they were receiving, the crowd
continued to diminish in great
numbers.
Were they trying to avoid the traffic
jam outside? Is 15 minutes in traffic too
big a price to pay for a team's satisfac­tion
in knowing that they have total
support, all of the time?

Pastor cites
church efforts
Editor, The Plainsman:
Thank you for calling the attention
of the Auburn "town and gown" com­munity
to the horrible presence of stark
poverty in this loveliest community of
the plains.
May I enter a supplementary report?
After having been interviewed by one
of your reporters via telephone I had
hoped to see some slight mention of the
work of "my" church in some attempts
to alleviate poverty and its penalties.
Since there was apparently not room
for it in your regular articles perhaps
there will be in your "letters to the edi­tor"
column?
Annually this congregation invests
a minimum of $5,500 in direct ministry
to economically deprived persons.
$2500 is paid for support of the Auburn
city schools dental clinic with an addi­tional
$3,000 being made available for
food, clothing and other medical needs.
These funds are, in general, dis­pensed
on request of the school health
staff, social workers from Vista, Head-start,
etc. Through our Social Concerns
Commission, of which Dr. John McKib-ben
is currently chairman, we have
aided in the work of East Alabama Co­operative
Housing both with direct
grants and with a loan for survey
purposes.
A number of other and smaller
efforts are made through various agen­cies
of this congregation annually.
None of it is ever enough. That we
readily recognize. But may we have
just a "wee bit of credit" for making a
beginning?

Reader asks
about quote
Editor, The Plainsman:
Under the heading "Priest is Hu­manist"
you published (Oct. 15, p. 12)
the following statement:
"We are now on the brink of a whole
new radical world of life. In the midst of
rather catastrophic times, a new era is
breaking through and we're thrown
back to asking who and where we are,
with nothing to support us. Christian
churches are irrelevant. I must be a hu­manist.
What else makes sense?"
On Oct. 21, in "Letters to the Editor,"
Fr. August H. Englert, to whom the
statement had been attributed, dis­claimed
it as his own, and appropriate
apology was made to Fr. Englert in
your editorial of that date, along with
the notation that the statements had
been made by another minister.
May I ask, please, what priest did
make the statement?

Retailers expect shoplifting increase
By Alvin Peinhardt
Plainsman Staff Writer
With Christmas less than
two months away, mer­chants
in Auburn and
Opelika anticipate the
seasonal increase of shoplift­ing
that comes with the rush
of Christmas shoppers.
One Opelika business,
Howard Brothers, has al­ready
felt an increase in
shoplifting despite efforts to
curb it, so the company has
adopted a new policy of
prosecuting all shoplifters.
According to Melvin Kern,
manager, "We are going to
prosecute every shoplifter
whether it's 10 cents or $10.
Kern said that he didn't
want to criticize students but
that he only wanted to make
everyone aware of the pro­blem;
pointing out that if
caught it would follow the
person the rest of his life.
John Thrower, one of the
two detectives at Howard
Brothers, estimated that
$1,000 to $1,100 worth of
merchandise had been stolen
during September and
October and said that he
expected shoplifting to be two
to three times higher the next
two months.
Thrower went on to say
that the store catches an
average of eight or nine shop­lifters
a week, of which three
or four are usually students.
Auburn Police Chief Fred
Hammock said that some
merchants will hire off-dutv
policemen during the next
two months and that some
will be in plainclothes.
"Shoplifting," he said,"will
follow the offender to the
graveyard."
Shoplifting under $25 is
petty larceny which is a mis­demeanor
and carries a fine
up to $100 plus court costs
and up to six months in jail.
Shoplifting over $25 is
grand larceny which is a
felony with not less than one
year and a day and not more
than 10 years in jail.
A first offender of petty
larceny usually receives a
fine of $100 plus court costs
with no jail sentence. Second
and third offenders usually
receive a jail sentence.
IK sets rush date
Student presidents
call for delegates
Over 100 student body pres­idents
from colleges and uni­versities
across America
joined with the Association
of Student Governments
(ASG) this week in calling for
an Emergency Conference
for New Voters to organize
students as voting delegates
to the national party
nominating conventions in
1972. The Emergency Con­ference
is slated for Dec. 3, 4
and 5 at Loyola University in
Chicago.
"The events of the past
month clearly indicate that
neither of the two major
political parties welcome the
young, left-leaning voters as
fully-enfranchised par­ticipants
in the parties," said
Duane Draper, president of
ASG and chairman of the
steering committee for the
Emergency Conference.
"These events create a
crisis situation for the mil­lions
of young people who
wish to effect constructive
change through existing
institutions. Unless we be­gin
the task immediately of
organizing students within
the party processes, we will
find ourselves totally ex­cluded
from the delegate
selections and the Pres­idential
nominating pro­cedures,
thus effectively dis­enfranchised
despite the 26th
amendment," he said.
The events Draper referred
to were the Democratic Com­mittee's
selection of Patricia
Harris as temporary' chair­man
of the credentials com­mittee
over liberal Senator
Harold Hughes (D-Iowa),
who had been viewed by
many as the key to enforce­ment
of the McGovern Com­mission
reforms at the
Democratic convention in
Miami.
Sen. George McGovern
(D .S .D.) an announced Pres­idential
contender for the
Democratic Nomination,
conducted a study commis­sion
in 1969 to institute re­forms
in the nominating
procedure.
Draper feels that Chair­man
Harris will not enforce
the McGovern reforms,
which were intended to
provide more representation
to blacks, women and the
young.
On the Republican side,
rumored pressure from high­er
echelon Republican of­ficials
to thwart Con. Pete
McCloskey's (R-Cal.) chal­lenge
to President Nixon in
the primaries has caused
serious financial problems
for McCloskey's campaign,
and could . essentially
eliminate him as an
alternative Republican can­didate.
"It is imperative that the
25,000,000 18 to 24-year-olds
in this country are aware of
the mockery that both
Democratic and Republican
party officials are making of
the reform movements in the
parties," continued Draper.

Fraternity winter rush will
be held Jan. 6-7 according to
a motion passed by the Inter-fraternity
council at its meet­ing
Monday night. The rush
will be informal with no
specific rules imposed on the
fraternities.
Fall fraternity rush foi
next year will be held Sept.
17-19 which is the Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday before
classes on Wednesday.
Fall rush will be different
from this year in that it will
be during drop and add and a
greater number of rushes and
active brothers are expected
to participate. Also Magnolia
Dormitory, which houses a
good number of potential
rushess, will be open unlike
this year.
Other business of IFC
meeting included:
Mike Carroll, 4DA, editor
of IFC news letter, reported a
profit of $10,290.46 off the Ike
and Tina Turner concert
which grossed over $30,000.
Plans are now being made for
allocation of the profit.

Dean Cater discusses
grievances with coeds
By Debbie Outlaw
Plainsman Staff Writer
Dean of Women Katharine
Cater met with independent
coeds in Dorm I Nov. 3, to
discuss grievances concern­ing
the establishment of a
new sorority on campus.
Delta Gamma will make its
appearance sometime during
winter quarter and plans
were made to have new
members ready to move into
Dorm I by spring quarter.
Coeds presently living in
the dorm, however, rejected
the sorority because they
were under the impression
that the sorority would take
away their rooms, and be­cause
they think it is wrong
that there is no established
upperclass independent
dorm in the quad.
Dean Cater explained that
no girls would be moved out
as a result of the sorority. As
vacancies occur, the sorority
girls will be moved in. It was
estimated to take until fall
quarter of 1972 to give the so­rority
a complete floor.
Concerning the second
grievance of the coeds—no
upperclass independent
dorm in the quad—Dean
Cater said, "Nobody told you
this was an independent
dorm; you must have decided
this for yourself."
Many of the girls were,
living in Dorm 5 last year;
when they were moved out to
make way for freshmen. Now
that they are established in
Dorm I, they feel it should re­main
independent and they
should not be moved again.
Dean Cater said that if the
girls considered the estab­lishment
of an upperclass in­dependent
dorm a good idea
and would like to have one,
she would look into it.
She also added that the
Dorm I group would be given
top priority in the case that
Dorm 5 would become an in­dependent
upperclass dorm
again. Everyone agreed that
this step would alleviate one
of the coeds' major grie-.
vances.

Meckes reported on the
Model Pledge Program. The
program is a guideline for all
fraternities and involves a re­treat
to be held soon after
rush for new pledges to be­come
orientated to their
fraternities.
The lesson portion of the
program is eight weeks and
consists of history and
general information a pledge
should know about his frater­nity
business, case studies
ranging from problems of the
fraternity treasury to drugs
in the fraternity, and outside
interests such as the draft.
During the fifth week, a
board of four appointed
brothers will review the
pledges and approach pro­blem
pledges from a positive
point of view.
Tom Jones, IFC president,
reported that visitation rules
of girls in fraternities were
not being observed in the
strictest sense of the word.
Jones said the fraternities
will be informed again of the
rules concerning women
visitation and if they are
violated the offender will be
brought before the IFC court.
The violating fraternity will
have an option of fine,
removal of privileges, social
probation or exclusion from
participation in intramural
sports.
Fire burns
men's store
A fire of undetermined ori­gin
started in the attic of the
Village Men's Shop on North
College Street last Thursday
around 7 p.m., resulting in ex­tensive
damage to the attic of
the men's dress shop and mo­derate
smoke damage to the
Tiger Theater area and
Curly. Locks Beauty Salon.
No physical injuries oc­curred
to anyone involved
with the fire.
The alarm was received at
6:27 p.m. by Capt. James A.
Weldon of the Auburn Fire
Department. Upon arrival of
the fire crew, the blaze had
extended to the entire attic
over the Village Men's Shop
and the store's clothes rack
on the main floor.
Seibold to have new trial
Edward Albert Seibold, an
Auburn dropout twice sen­tenced
to death for killing two
young girls and accused of
slaying a third, won the right
to a new trial last Thursday,
but one death penalty still
stands.
His conviction was re­versed
after the review of a
hearing ordered by the high
court to determine if prospec­tive
jurors had been excused
because of their statements
on capital punishment.
The court said it could not
say "with reasonable satis­faction"
what the position of
the prospective jurors had
been, and that it had no
choice but to reverse the deci­sion
and return the case to
the trial court for further
action.
In its decision, the court
noted that the trial judge was
no longer a state judge and
that the court reporter was
also no longer a court repor­ter
and, in fact, that his
whereabouts were not
known.

They call the disease eyeball strain.
For some reason, there's an epidemic of it every year, on
January 2.
No doubt, the reason is the marathon TV session of the day
before when the football addicts of the nation watch. . .and
watch. . .and watch as the cream of the nation's college foot­ball
team crop bang heads in the cream of the nation's post­season
bowl crop.
Never once, though, do the bug-eyed fanatics think what it
took to get those two teams out there on the field.
Take the Cotton Bowl, for instance.
In early September, the approximately 120-man Cotton
Bowl Athletic Association begins organizing its various com­mittees
in preparation for the game more than three months
away.
October 15th . . .
Then, when October 15th rolls around, the 15 men that
make up the team-selection committee begin making their
forays out into the world of the college football elite.
One member of that committees is Bill Crisler, an executive
vice-president of the Monarch Paper Co. of Dallas, and a
football fan on the side.
He was in Auburn to watch the Auburn-Mississippi State
game last week-end, his third straight week of watching the
Tigers.
"The Cotton Bowl Association is a group • asinessmen
that are interested in football in genera' ..id promoting the
Cotton Bowl in particular," he said.
"Our sole purpose is making the Cotton Bowl a first-class
show every year, both on and off the field."
With 120 men.working, the division of jobs gets down to the
smallestdetails.There is, for instance, the greeting committee,
the housing committee, the President's committee,the student
participation committee, as well as the most-heard of commit­tee,
the team selection committee.
"This is my first year on the team-selection committee,"
Crisler said, "and I've really enjoyed the traveling around
that goes along with it.
rfce main p u r p o s e . ..
_ "The main purpose of the team-selection committee,
naturally is to find an opponent for the Southwest Con­ference
Champion, who is automatically in the Bowl.
"But when we travel around to the various schools, all we
are really doing is showing that school that we are in­terested
in having them come to the Cotton Bowl, and
perhaps pick up some of their feelings about us."
It wasn't surprising to hear Crisler talk of the criteria in­volved
in the selection of a team.
"Well, certainly, we'd like to have the national champion­ship
game being played in the Cotton Bowl," he said. "But
that's not always possible."
"We travel all over the country, not limiting ourselves to one
area, looking at the best teams, We've had many South­eastern
Conference teams in the past, but then again, we had
Notre Dame playing the last two years.
Three teams
"Right now, there are three teams in the South that we
would be happy to have in the Cotton Bowl, and they are all
within 200 miles of each other, Alabama, Georgia, and Au­burn.
"Since the Alabama-Auburn game is on the 27th of Novem­ber,
that game is not going to enter into our selection. We have
already stated that we are going to extend an invitation on the
20th. Who it will be to is up to the committee, and the decisions
it makes."
While most attention is focused on the selection committee,
there are many other committees that are as large a part of the
overall Cotton Bowl celebration as that committee. One that
Crisler is involved with is the student participation commit­tee.
"What that committee does is to take five student leaders
from each of the nine Southwest Conference schools and five

leap

The time is drawing nigh.
After Nov. 20, no more
Heisman ballots of the more
than 1,000 distributed,
around the nation will be ac­cepted
in the final tally by the
Downtwon Athletic Club of
New York.
. So, conjecture is spreading
like wildfire.
From the east to west
coasts, each of the
individuals blessed with a
ballot has been deciding on
his own personal favorite.
People like Ed Marinaro,
Greg Pruitt, Johnny Musso,
Walt Patulski, and Pat Sul­livan
are being prominently
mentioned for the honor.
Since sports writers have
the final say, what did they
think about the upcoming
award?
WILL GRIMSLEY (AP, New
York) - "I really don't know
who is going to win the
award. Marinaro is certainly
the favorite right now, I
would say. Sullivan needs to
have a good game against
Georgia. I'd say that, for him,
it depends on that game. It's
really a tough one to decide."
HERSCHEL NEISSESEN
(AP, New York) - "First let me
say that Grimsley doesn't
know the first thingaboutfoot-ball.
Secondly, I think the
fact thatbothMusso and Sul­livan
are in the same region
will hurt Sullivan. We're
pushing Marinaro big in this
area, despite the fact that he
plays in the Ivy League. He
would be good no matter
wh'—e he plays.
"My ballot will have
Marinaro in first, and after
that-well I would have to
decide between Musso,
Pruitt, Sullivan and Patulski
of Notre Dame. Patulski, des­pite
the fact that he is a de­fensive
lineman, could well
be the best college football
player in the nation."
J A C K GALLAGHER
(Houston Post) - "Sullivan is
out in front in my opinion. He
, got a bigger pre-season build­up
than Marinaro. Sul­livan's
No. 1 competition
certainly is Marinaro. I think
that Pat will be helped by the
fact that the ballots have to
be in before the Alabama
game.
"I would vote for Pruitt
first, Sullivan second, and
Marinaro third. Pat sold me
two years ago when I got to
see the game he played
against Alabama and won
49-26."
MELVIN DURSLAG (Los
Angeles Examiner) - "I would
say that Sullivan is a co-favorite
along with
Marinaro. Here in the west,
there just aren't any home
town favorites. I haven't
talked to a single person that
is going to vote for a western
player.
"When you talk about
someone's chances of win­ning
the Heisman Trophy,
you have to decide on the way
the votes are distributed, and
who the hell is where. I don't
know how the votes are dis­tributed.
"I've found over the years
that this thing has been
voted on in a king of i tongue -"
in-cheek manner. People tend
to vote for a guy just to show
that they aren't prejudiced.
"That's why Marinaro
may get a lot of votes. People
will be thinking that they are
showing lack of prejudice
against the Ivy League, even
if it is a bush league.
"Or maybe they will vote
for Sullivan because they
want to show that they aren't
prejudiced against the South.
Who knows?
"By this prejudice thing,
I'm thinking back a few years
ago. They gave it to a couple
of blacks to show that they
weren't prejudiced then.
Now it is somebody else's
turn."
FRED RUSSELL (Nashville
Banner) - "I followed Pat
closely as the Banner's Play­er
of the Year in the South
last year.. I certainly can't
think of a worthier prospect
for the award.
"I hope that the excellence
of both Sullivan and Musso
won't hurt the chances ol
either one in the Heisman.
But it may be that two out­standing
candidates from the
same region will hurt,
though."
BILL LUMPKIN (Birming­ham
Post-Herald) - "I think
that Pat's chances are slim.
He's the No. 1 man in this
area, but Marinaro is the
man to bet.
"One thing that could be in
Pat's favor, though, is that
the second place vote is usual­ly
the deciding factor. If the
area's, like the east and
south, balance each other
out, tben it will be the second
place votes around the rest of
the nation that will win it."
The first assumption that
comes from all these various
opinions is that sports
writers, like all football fans,
have absolutely no idea what
they are talking about. It's all
a bunch of guessing.
There was one other opi­nion
on the Heisman offered
in Time Magazine of this
week
ED MARINARO (Cornell
University) - "I won't be dis­appointed
if I don't win the
Heisman, I feel that I'm the
best now, but all I can do is
put those yardage figures in
front of the men that vote."
Unbeatens vie
"We have a good team,"
Dooley concluded, "that's for
sure. But just how good will,
be decided Saturday."
Jordan was more definite'
about his feelings about the
Georgia team.
"Everything considered,
this probably has to be the
best Georgia football team of
all time," he said. "When we
line up in Athens Saturday,
you can be assured you'll be
looking at one of the best
teams that Georgia ever had
and one of the best teams that
Auburn has had."
Auburn players, too, are
aware of what the game
means and what they have to
do.
"We've got to control the
football because that is what
they are going to try to do,"
Tommy Yearout said. "I
don't think that it makes
much difference which one of
their quarterbacks play. Both
of them move the ball real
well.
"I don't think that the way
they beat us last year will
have an effect on our atti­tude,"
he went on. "I don't
think that you should take a
revengeful attitude. That's
the least of the reasons why
we should want to win."
Pat Sullivan knows what it
means to face the Georgia de­fense.
In two years against
the Bulldogs, he has thrown
only one touchdown pass and
had four intercepted. Oddly
enough, in one of those
games he had only 185 yards
of total offense and Auburn
won the game, while in the
other, he had 335 yards of­fense
but the Tigers lost.
"They (Georgia) do a tre­mendous
job of rushing the
passer," Sullivan said. "And
their defensive backs are
among the best.
"I don't think anybody on
the team needs a pep talk to
'get ready for this game.
"The key to the game,"
Jordan concluded, "could
well be who takes advantage
of the early mistakes of the
other. It always seems to
come out that way in games
of this type."

' Benny Sivley has been named Auburn's Headhunter
for his defensive performance against the Mississippi
State Bulldogs last week.
The Blountsville, Ala. native, a 221-pound tackle,
made 11 individual tackles and five assists for a total of
27 points, the first time this year that he has won the
award.
Two linebackers—Bill Luka and John Hay-worth—
tied for second in the Headhunter honors with
26 points apiece. Hayworth had 11 individual tackles
and four assists, while Luka contributed nir"> indi­viduals
and four assists. Luka had won the .*ard for
the two weeks previous.
Linebacker Mike Flynn had 12 points in the final
tally, while Tommy Yearout had 10.

meled the visiting Bulldogs
with an awesome offensive
attack, netting 220 yards
rushing and 186 through the
air.
Playing their final game in
Cliff Hare Stadium, Pat Sul­livan,
Terry Beasley and the
rest of the Auburn seniors
exited with a flourish. Not
until the waning minutes of
the game did the Tiger
defense allow the Bulldogs to
score, and by that time it was
a luxury which could be af­forded.
Sullivan, Beasley and
their mates had spurred
Auburn to a 30-0 lead with
three minutes remaining.
At that time, perhaps re­membering
the broken leg
suffered by Bobby Stickland
last year when Auburn was
leading State 42-0 and the
epidemic of injuries that fol­lowed,
Auburn Head Coach
Ralph Jordan began to sub­stitute
freely.
"Yeah, we were playing
just about anybody who was
able to play in that last
quarter," Jordan admitted
later. "We were not trying to
save Sullivan or anybody for
Georgia, because we never
play with the idea of getting
anybody hurt.
"We simply wanted to see
what some of our other people
can do . . . and we found out.
"But I really must take my
hat off to State," Jordan went
on. "They hung in there and
I'm glad it's over with. Ob­viously,
we were looking
ahead to the Georgia game."
And look ahead they
might. Both teams enter the
game with undefeated slates,
Georgia at 9-0 and Auburn at
8-0. At stake are a possible
conference championship, a
major bowl bid, and a pos­sible
undefeated season.
Jordan, however, re-turrned
to the subject of the
Bulldogs.
"You must give State credit
for taking advantage of their
opportunities late in the
game. They did a good job of
blocking, especially in the
second balf. I have to say
they took over the game
pretty well after the first
eight minutes of the second
half."
The upset-minded Bull­dogs
began the game in a sur­prising
fashion, utilizing a
wishbone-T offense for the
first time this season.
"The wishbone was a sur­prise
to us," Jordan com­mented.
"They had not used
it all year and we had to
adjust on the field. I thought
we contained them fairly well
considering we didn't expect
them to play it."
Auburn opened the scor­ing
with 8:24 left in the first
quarter on a 42 yard field goal
by Gardner Jett.
Near the end of the first
quarter, Tommy Yearout re
covered an errant pitchout on
the State 23 to set up the first
Tiger touchdown. Terry
Henley carried twice for eight
yards. Then, on the second
play of the second quarter,
Pat Sullivan passed to Terry
Beasley for the final 15, and
Auburn led 9-0. Jett kicked i t '
to 10-0.
Auburn mounted another
drive about three minutes
later, but this time they were
stalled when Henley fumbled

WEGL, making its move as the picking season draws
to a close, regained sole posession of first place in Out on

while David Weber fell to second with a 7-3 mark.
WEGL now has a seasan record of 55-15, one game
ahead of Weber, is 54-16, and two ahead of Randy
Donaldson, whose 7-3 record dropped him to a 53-17 sea­son
total.
Armand DeKeyser kept his stranglehold on fourth
place with a 7-3 week, which gives him a season mark of
51-19. The guest hung in close with an identical weekly
record and season mark also.
John Samford climbed out of the cellar with a 7-3
week, which gives him a season total of 48-22. The Old

with a 6-4 record and a seasonal mark of 47-23.
The Muhlenberg Mules travel to Lancaster, Pa., to
take on the always dangerous Franklin and Marshall
Diplomats. The Mules have roared to a 5-2 season, and

Men's Intramurals
Playoff berths to be decided
By Armand DeKeyser
Intramurals Editor
With but one more day of
regulation play, several divi­sion
gridiron titles are still in
doubt.
Tuesday, ATO clinched
their division crown with a
stunning victory over the
SN's, 19-6.
ATO was unable to move
the ball on the rough SN's
until the last minute of play
in the first half when Danny
Michael completed a long
pass to the SN three yard
line. They scored and made
the extra point.
On the other hand, the
SN's marched down the field
to score and take the early
lead in the game.
The second half was a dif­ferent
story. SN was stymied
by the hard-rushing ATO's
and generated very little of­fense.
ATO found the range
and moved the ball almost at
will on the passing and
scrambling of Michael. He
threw two more touchdown
strikes in the last half.
A Jimmy Lowrey to Jerry
Crowder touchdown bomb in
the fourth quarter gave FIJI
a win over KA, 12-6. The win
left the FIJI's in contention
for second place in their divi­sion.
A last period seven points
by PKA pushed them to vic­tory
over the TZ's, 20-13.
TC garnered their second
win of the season over AP.
The game was tied at the end
of regulation play, 0-0. TC
squeaked by in the overtime,
10 yards to 7 yards.
In other "sudden death"
games last week TC out-gained
TZ and BTP whipped
AGR for BTP's first conquest
of the year.
LCA lost their second game
in a row as they were de­feated
by PKP, 20-0.
DC ensured a tie for the
Div. 1 League B title after a
convincing win over SP, 18-7.

SAE spotted AP six points
in the first quarter but came
back to win, 10-6. SAE's two

in the last three
minutes snatched victory
from the AP's.
OTS won two games last
week, defeating PKA, 18-6,
and SC, who was previously
undefeated, 32-19. A victory
over AP today will clinch the
division crown for OTS.
TKE was shoved into a tie
for the division lead after
their loss to PKT, 6-0.
Westminister copped their
first game of the year as they
smashed APO, 12-0.
After two season-opening
losses, the Showboats ex­tended
their winning streak
to three games as they
whomped WF, 19-0 and
slipped by Dayhouse, 7-0.
Windsor remained unde­feated
as they ripped the Blue

MMF scored 13 points in
the second half to shut out the
Saints, 13-0.
The BSU took two vic­tories
this past week. They
put 12 points on the score­board
in the last half to
defeat Daddy Wags, 18-12.
BSU also whipped Will's
Raiders 19-0 by scoring in the
second, third and fourth
quarters.
PMA tallied six points in
the first period, but were un­able
to hold their lead as the
Molds scored in the last
quarter to slip by the PMA's
7-6.
NG and Hustler were
locked in a scoreless tie
which was broken in over­time
as NG came out on top.
The Candies licked Air
Force, 41-0.
To bring the current vol­leyball
season up to date,
LCA and ATO are tied for
first place in Div. 1 of League
A. In Div. 2, SC and OTS are
knotted up with identical
records of 5-0.
League B has DC leading
Div. 1 with a perfect slate of 4-

swimming, tied for the
League A championship with
56 points, DC, with 61 points
nudged BTP, 42 points, for
first place in League B.
SC had the overall best
score in the fraternity golf
tournament, so, naturally
won their division. Also, in
League A, LCA won Div. 2.

on the State 12.
After forcing the Bulldogs
to punt, the Tigers again got
the ball. This time they drove
62 yards in six plays, the
final eight coming on a Sulli-van-
to-Dick Schmalz pass
with 7:35 left in the quarter.
Jett's point after made it 17-0.
Danny Sanspree's re­covery
of a fumble on the
State 27 gave the Auburn of­fense
possession once again.
Harry Unger carried for three
yards, then took a screen
pass for 16. Sullivan again
connected with Beasley for
the touchdown, and the
Tigers headed to the dress­ing
room at halftime with a
24-0 bulge.
Early in the third quarter
Tommy Lowry capped a 43
yards drive with a 28 yard
burst for Auburn's final tally.
The extra point effort failed.
Mississippi State did not
score until Jordan played his'
reserves witnout reserve.
Bulldog quarterback hit for
three touchdown passes in
the final three minutes, two
to Jay Hughes and one to Bill
Buckley.
Sullivan's three touch­down
passes give him 49 for
his career, just one short of
Babe Parilli's SEC record of
50 set 20 years ago at Ken­tucky.
In addition to his two
touchdown receptions,
Beasley caught two other
passes. In his career he has
caught 129 passes for 2276
yards, establishing a new
SEC standard. David Smith
of Mississippi State was
former No. 1 at 2,168 yards.
Sullivan is also nearing the
national mark for touch­down
responsibility. Sulli­van's
total of 68 is three short
of the record set by Steve
Ramsay of North Texas
State.
Annual ODK Cake Race
to be run for 43rd time
By Jim Dailey
Plainsman Sports Writer
On Wednesday, at 3:30
p.m., the Wilbur Hutsell-Omi-j
cron Delta Kappa cake race
will be run for the 43rd conse­cutive
year.
On that day, freshmen
males will gather in front of
the old field house, Petrie
Hall, and cover a distance of
2.8 miles on and around the
campus, winding up on the
west side of Cliff Hare Stadi­um.
The winner will receive the
traditional kiss from Miss
Auburn while the first twen­ty-
five finishers will be
awarded a cake.
The cake race was ini­tiated
in 1929 by track coach
emeritus Wilbut Hutsell.
Coach Hutsell had come from
a school in Missouri where it
had been run and was also in
need of some long-winded
talent for his cross country
team since at the time there
were no track scholarships
given.
That first cake race was
featured in Look Magazine
and for a long time the cross
country squad was com­posed
entirely of cake race
runners.
Through the years, many
famous athletes have taken
part in the annual event.
Among those celebrated par-ticinants
have been Olympic
^ runner WhiteyOverton, SEC
two mile record holder Em-mitt
McQueen, his brother,
Southeastern AAU cham­pion
Ross McQueen, and
high jumper, broad jumper,
and hurdler Bill Yard who
guided the Tigers to their first
SEC championship in 1954.
In 1968, Coach Hutsell
started his last cake race. "I
thought I would handle the
first forty years and let
Coach Mel Rosen handle the
second forty," said Hutsell.
Now the official starter, track
coach Rosen is optimistic
about the turn-out.
"Last year, we had around
220 persons but I am hopeful
that four or five hundred will
show up this year," Rosen
said.
Who knows, maybe coach
Rosen will find himself an­other

from the visiting team, and put them up in a Dallas hotel for
three days.
"We have the editor of the campus newspaper, the student
body president, the head cheerleader and the like and we put
all 50 of them together, in meetings, champagne parties, and
on the fifty-yard line.
"It's always a great experience for me to see what these 20 and
21-year old people learn from each other in discussing their
own individual situations. I wouldn't take anything for my ex­periences
with that group of young people.
Crisler got involved with the Cotton Bowl simply because
someone asked him to.
"One of my business acquaintances asked me if I would like
to help, and so here I am, ten years later, in Auburn watching
a football game.
"It's a changing thing," he went on. "Now I am asking peo­ple
to be on the Cotton Bowl committees, and other people are
dropping out.
"But to change the subject, I want to say a couple of things
about Auburn.
"First, when I, and all the other bowl scouts for that matter,
come to Auburn, we immediately go in to see Buddy David­son,
your Sports Information Director. And there just isn't a
better guy anywh ere.
"And there is the whole town itself. I've never been treated
as nicely as I have in my trips to Auburn. The best thing that
Auburn has going for it is the people. They're just the nicest
ever."
hour Sunday afternoon and
the result was disastrous.
Their "football team" (as it
was called) lost to The
Plainsman 24-0.
WEGL coach Jim "Vince"
Bradley was at a loss for
words. "I just don't under­stand
it," he said, after his
team had given up four touch­down
passes in the Auburn
University Communications
championship game. "We
had practiced all week. We
had a heckuva team. All our
boys had good mammas and
pappas, and they all ate chips
and soft drinks—no beer, but
we just didn't have it in the
clutch.
An elated David Weber, as­sistant
sports editor of The
Plainsman, and the winning
coach said, "I was real proud
of the way our boys hung in
there and won this so called
'Blood-bath.' It was a blood
bath, but it was WEGL's
blood. We expected them to be
more powerful than they
were, but they just didn't
have it. Our pass rush was
superb. I did a good job my­self,
and so did Donaldson,
my boss."
Immediately following the
game, representatives of the
"Toil-at-it Bowl" extended a
bid to the victorious
Plainsman team, but it was
rejected by Editor John Sam-ford.
"We appreciate the
thought of this fine bowl," he
said, "but we can't accept.
We've got more work to do.
We've got a paper to put out."
Samford denied that his
refusal was influenced by the
fact that he played only one
play in the contest.
The Plainsman earned its
thwarted bowl bid with two
touchdowns in each of the
first two qurters, both coming
on zinging passes from Jim­my
"Ringer" Lowrey. Low-rey's
first scoring pass went
to Maury Stead, and the
second went to Dave
Scheirer.
At the half, The Plains­man
utilized its secret
weapon to insure the victory.
Despite the strict secrecy
around the speech, "The
Plainsman Papers" revealed
that the secret weapon was a
rousing victory speech by
David Housel. It was Housel,
known as "Shugar Bare"
who coached The Plainsman
to a 6-0 victory over the
Glomerata in 1967. He is
undefeated as a football
coach.

THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN 10 Thursday. November 11. 1971
New student activism
centers on univers ity
By Bill Wood and Tandy Culpepper
"There was a major change in the student movement this
year when they (students) realized that the university
administration can do a lot more about changing the cur­riculum
than ending the war," said Robert Maranell of the
University of Kansas in 1967.
According to Maranell, a professor of sociology, and
other observers, the student movement became more self-centered
after 1967, with students making academic
demands on their own behalf. Student demands, often ac­companied
by violent demonstrations, included revision of
grading systems, student participation in faculty selec­tion,
and creation of new courses in black history, environ­mental
studies, and feminist studies.
Here at Auburn, academic rights "have received less at­tention
than they deserve" according to Bruce Gilliland,
secretary of academic affairs for the Student Government
Association.
But "the academic aspect" of University life is one of the
major concerns of the SGA this year according to Gil­liland.
The "free university" is one academic innovation started
by students..Starting with the Peoples' Free University of
Berkeley, the free university idea spread rapidly to college
campuses across the nation. Most free universities offer a
wide variety of non-credit courses, with volunteers teach­ing
the classes, which operate with few restrictions.
Next quarter, Auburn will have a program similar to the
free university, in the Extracurricular Studies Program.
(ESP).
ESP is similar to the free university concept in that it
will offer non-credit courses of interest to students on an
informal level. An attempt was made to establish a free uni­versity
program at Auburn three years ago but the project
failed due to lack of student participation.
SGA officials feel that ESP will be more popular in that
courses are chosen according to student interest and will
teach more practical subjects than the free university of­fered.
Registration for ESP will be held November 10-12. In­terested
students should contact the SGA office.
Evaluation of teachers is another area in which student
activists have concentrated. At Yale, for example, an
underground teacher-evaluation booklet was printed, with
each teacher evaluated on his teaching ability and
practices. Here at Auburn, the SGA sponsors "Teacher-
Course Evaluation," a program which produces booklets
evaluating teachers and their courses on several numerical
scales.
Teacher-course evaluation, directed by Dave Thorn-berry,
is becoming a more successful method for evaluating
courses and instructors, Gilliland said. He added that this
service provides the student with much information which
he normally would not have.
Gilliland said that questionnaires for sophomore-level
courses and above would be distributed shortly before
Thanksgiving. For the first time, optical scan sheets will be
used in order to expedite the process of tabulating the
information.
This computerization will allow the booklets, which will
be sold to students at a nominal price, to be available prior
to registration for spring quarter.
One problem which the SGA has encountered in the
teacher-course evaluation, according to Gilliland, is the at­titudes
taken by some teachers and students. In the past,
there have been professors who would not allow the
questionnaires to be distributed in their rooms.
In order to minimize this problem, SGA office will stand
outside classroom doors if necessary to reach all students.
Gilliland also noted that even these efforts do not always
insure complete accuracy since there are some students
who are too apathetic to take time to answer the question­naires.
Another project that was initiated by the SGA was the
change in Auburn's class attendance policy. In the past,
students were forced to attend classes under a threat of
lowered grades for absences. The number of "cuts" allowed
to students was determined by the individual instructor.
A resolution passed last year by the Student Senate
culminated in the change to a voluntary attendance sys­tem
this fall. Figures indicate that students have taken full
advantage of the new policy so far this year. Surveys show
that class attendance for this quarter is at an all-time low.
Gilliland said that the student overall grade-point
average for this quarter will be compared to other past
quarters to make some evaluations of the new attendance
policy.
Most universities have some group that concerns itself
with student-faculty relations. Here the University Senate
has two such groups, the Teaching Effectiveness Commit­tee
and the Student-Faculty Relations Committee.
At Columbia University in 1968, student demonstrators
occupied an administration building, demanding a voice in
the choosing of the president, faculty, and administrators.
Under a compromise plan, Columbia students can now
initiate proceedings to dismiss certain classes of faculty
members and administrators, although final authority is
still with the University.
At Auburn, students have some representation in the
administration through the newly-created student seat on
the Board of Trustees. The SGA President will represent
the student body in the position, which was created by
executive order of Gov. Wallace.
Nation-wide, students have played a part in many
academic changes. At Auburn, says academic affairs
secretary Bruce Gilliland, "The bigger problem has been a
lack of student support. However, this is probably due to a
I assimistic attitude that 'Nothing can be done, so why com­plain.'
New and present methods of protecting student
rights can be effective."

The Student Senate contains two
active committees concerned with aca­demic
affairs.
The Student Welfare Committee,
headed by Jimmy Blake, Senator of
Arts and Sciences, is concerned with
anything that may affect students
whether it be in the college life or in
community, which includes the impor­tant
role of academics. Blake said that
his committee was a flexbile one that
overlapped many others but it has been
the leader in getting the new class at­tendance
policy accepted. At the
present time this committee is trying to
work out any misunderstandings that
have occurred between faculty and
students as a result of the new policy.
When asked about complaints con­cerning
this new policy, Blake replied,
"There have been very few major ones;
the professors have been on the whole
very cooperative. However, there have
been some Complaints from professors
who will lower grades if people don't
come to class." However, Blake feels
that in time and with cooperation from
both students and faculty that these si­tuations
can be alleviated.
The committee is also studying pos­sibilities
for further change concern­ing
this new attendance policy. Blake's
opinion was that the FA is contradic­tory
to the new policy where there can
be no failing as a result of absences.
Therefore, after a careful study the
Student Welfare Committee may be in
a position to recommend that the FA be
changed or dropped completely from
the rules. Another conflict under study
is the fact that if a student misses the
day before or the day after a school holi­day,
his grade is lowered five per cent.
This, too, will have to undergo careful
study before a recommendation can be
made.
The only action taken on this new po­licy
at the present time is limited to
helping individuals who have been pe­nalized
by professors because of the
new policy. They are instructed on how
to handle the matter, and Dean Little­ton,
dean of undergraduate studies, has
instructed department heads to clarify
the new policy to their teachers.
The six members of the Student Wel­fare
committee are Blake, Rob Lofton
(off-campus), Louis Adams (Vet. Med.),
Suzette Lauber (Education), Don
Haistin (Pharmacy) and Lisa Lett
(Arts and Sciences).
When asked how the students could
become involved in the studies of
Student Welfare, Blake answered, "Our
committee encourages people with any
kind of complaints to come to us
whether they think we can help them or
not because if we can't, we can find
someone who can."
The Grade Appeals Committee,
headed by Ken Farmer, off-campus se­nator,
is more of a study committee in
the range of academics. Farmer said
that his committee has no real power to
do anything directly about grades; they
can only study the situation and come
up with recommendations concerning
grade appeals. Their main objective is
to let the students know how to go
about getting his grade appealed.
Farmer said, "What we are mainly in­terested
in is defining what grade ap­peals
is—most students don't
know—and setting up a system where
everybody will know what's going on."
Farmer added that now if a student
wants to appeal his grade, he has se­veral
possibilities. First, he appeals the
grade to the professor. If no action is
taken, he can go to the department
head, then the dean and finally to Dean
Littleton. The main idea is to appeal to
the proper channels.
The committee, consisting of
Farmer, Louis Adams (Vet. Med.),
Suzette Lauber (Education), Bill An­derson
(Business) and Bruce Gilliland,
secretary of academic affairs, is now
studying two alternative solutions for
the process of appealing the grades.
First, a grievance committee could be
set up having broad powers. This could
either be university-wide or one for
each school. Second, a grade appeals
board could be instituted which could
also be university-wide or school-ori­ented.
A study made be Gilliland re­vealed
that a majority of professors en­dorsed
the set-up of this board. How­ever,
questions such as would the com­mittee
have the actual power to change
a grade and would the board handle all
of the complaints must be answered. As
yet, no recommendations have been
made. The work has to be carefully
done because the faculty would con­sider
this recommendation a major
one, Farmer said.
Now the committee is looking for
help and support. "Our committee
would welcome suggestions,
comments, complaints and whatever
from students, faculty and adminis­trators
because we really don't know
what we will come up with. All we want
to do is define a structure by which a
student that has a legitimate gripe
about a grade will know what to do,"
Farmer said.
T
Grades Midquarter blues strike

Student Senate is to inform concerned students about ways
f '
to appeal grades and to study grade appeals. Students with
problems or complaints concerning grades can appeal them
to the teacher, then to the dean of the school and finally to
Dean Littleton, dean of academic affairs. Plainsman photo

Senate reviews teacher quality
By Mary Anne Hall
Plainsman Staff Writer
"The recognition of effective
teaching is difficult. How do you judge
if a professor is good? Popularity can­not
always be equated with effective­ness,"
Dr. Frank Davis, chairman of
the Teaching Effectiveness Commit­tee
of the University Senate said.
There is difficulty in recognizing and
documenting effective teaching. The
Teaching Effectiveness Committee at­tempts
to do more than the normal
"tendency to give lip service to ef­fective
teaching," Dr. Davis said.
TheTeacher-CourseEvaluation Book
published by the SGA is "one step, al­though
incomplete, in that direction,"
Dr. Davis said. "Sometimes a profes­sor's
publishing list is apt to be more
is commented.
Students work with faculty mem­bers
on University Senate committees.
Just as the Student Senate serves as a
channel of student opinion, the 75
member University Senate acts as the
voice of the faculty to advise President
Philpott and to make recommenda­tions
concerning general academic
policy.
In addition to the Teaching Ef­fectiveness
Committee, the Student
Faculty Relations Committee studies
particular areas of academic affairs.
The Student-Faculty Relations com­mittee,
with five student and five
faculty members, is concerned with the
interrelationship of student and
faculty views toward
