dies in accident
near apartment
Plainsman News Editor Keith
Bed well died at the Lee County Hospi­tal
Friday night after an apparent ac­cident
outside a West Glenn Avenue
Apartment.
A sophomore journalism major, Bed-well
worked on The Plainsman staff
last year as a reporter and had served
as news editor for the last two quarters.
He was found by friends shortly after
8 p.m. Friday lying unconscious
outside the apartment. It was reported
by friends that he stepped outside for
fresh air. Investigating officers believe
that he fell from the second floor land­ing,
fracturing his skull.
Friends called an ambulance from
Drake Infirmary and Bedwell was
rushed to the Lee County Hospital fol­lowing
a brief examination at the In­firmary.
He died shortly after his arri­val
at the hospital.
Bedwell was the only child of Mr. and
Mrs. Robert R. Bedwell of Mont­gomery.
He was a member of Chi Phi
fraternity and was a dean's list
student.
Funeral services were held Sunday in
Montgomery. Keith Bedwell

Nine Ala. Senate candidates
to speak at Auburn Tuesday
By Alice Murray
Plainsman Features Editor
Tuesday is the day for Alabama poli­tics
in Auburn. Nine of the state's 11
candidates for U . S . Senate will be
speaking at 7 p.m. in the Student
Activities building.
For the first time, candidates from
both parties will be speaking on the
same stage and will answer audience
questions about their • platforms, Ed
Rudd, secretary of political affairs an­nounced.
Democratic senatorial candidates
Robert Edington, Charles Sullins,
Melba Till Allen, Lambert Mims and
incumbent Senator John Sparkman
will join Republican candidates
Winton (Red) Blount, Bert Nettles,
Jim Martin and Doris Callahan in
what Rudd calls "Auburn's first Sena­torial
Forum."
Each candidate will be allowed five
minutes to speak and then candidates
will answer questions from the au­dience,
Rudd said.
The Senatorial Forum is sponsored
jointly by Horizons II and the Office of
Political Affairs. The purpose of the
forum, Rudd said, is to stimulate
student interest in the political scene in
the state of Alabama and hopefully to
tie this in with the voter registration
drive which the SGA is sponsoring this
month.
"We also hope that the candidates'
appearance here will serve to point r '£
to the candidate the issues that \ k
student is interested in," Rudd said / Sparkman
University Senate drops grade of XFA'
By Greg Lisby
Plainsman Staff Writer
The grade of "FA" has been dropped
by the University Senate and with ap­proval
of President Philpott will
become University policy.
In a yote last Tuesday afternoon, the
Senate passed the resolution of the
Student-Faculty Relations Committee
with fewer than five members dissent­ing.
The following is an excerpt from the
Student-Faculty Relations Commit­tee's
report on the FA grade.
"Since compulsory class attendance
is no longer a policy at Auburn, reten­tion
of the 'FA' grade is misleading.
There is confusion as to whether the
grade means 'Failure due to Absences,'
or 'Failure due to incomplete Assign­ments.'
Thus, it is the considered opin­ion
of the Student-Faculty Relations
Committee that the present atten­dance
policy with the 'FA' grade does
not promote good student-faculty rela­tions.
"On basis of the above comments,
the Student-Faculty Relations Com­mittee
recommends the following
changes in the class attendance policy
as recorded in the 1971 Tiger Cub and
the Auburn University Bulletin! 1971-
72: 1) Deletion of the last sentence and
subsequent footnote under Class At­tendance,
item 2, page 101, in the 1971
Tiger Cub; 2) Change the title of'Mid-quarter
Deficiencies' under Examina
tions on page 50 of the Auburn Univer­sity
Bulletin 1971-72 to read 'Defi­ciencies;
3) Add a second sentence to
the one presently contained under
"Mid-Quarter Deficiencies' to read—In­structors
are encouraged to give notice
to all students of unfavorable acade­mic
standing prior to the end of the
quarter."
After presenting the report to the
Senate, committee chairman, Dr.
Howard Clonts Jr., Assistant Profes­sor
of Agricultural Economics re­marked
that the lack of use indicates
that maybe the FA grade is really not
needed. "The Student-Faculty Rela­tions
Committee recommends that the
grade of'FA' be deleted and changed as
suggested in our report."
In response to Dr. Clonts'comments,
Dennis Hale, associate professor of Ac­counting
and Finance, retorted,
"Students should at least earn their ' F '
by attending class at least once or
twice."

SGA plans voter registration drive
Attorney General may
file against registrars
By John Samford
Plainsman Editor
The Alabama attorney general's
office has promised to bring suit
against the Lee County Board of Re­gistrars
if they do not comply with the
recent ruling that students may regis­ter
to vote in college towns.
A spokesman from the attorney
general's office said this week that As­sistant
Attorney General Hank
Caddell will be in Opelika Wednesday
when the registrars are meeting to get
information from students attempting
to register to vote. If the students are
not permitted to register, the attorney
general will file suit to have the names
placed on voter lists and to force the re­gistrars
to comply with the ruling.
Attorney General Bill Baxley an­nounced
the ruling on March 8, at a
luncheon for student government
leaders and student editors from all
universities in the state.
The ruling, which was designed to
stop a controversy which has arisen in
almost every college town in the state,
was officially requested by Mrs. Reed
Proctor, a member of the Birmingham
City Council.
"If citizens under 21 years are prohi­bited
from establishing a residence of
their own for voting purposes," the
ruling said, "then, in a very real sense
voting rights are being denied to those
under 21 on account of their age. The
clear language of the amendment, to­gether
with its legislative history, indi­cates
that this result would violate the
letter and spirit of the amendment."
In announcing the ruling, Baxley ad­mitted
that there would probably be op­position
from several groups but stated
that if the final answer had to be
worked out in court, he felt sure the
ruling would be similar to his.
Baxley prefaced his 13-page opinion
by pointing out "some very recent
developments in the law which have in
large part determined the direction of
this opinion.
"A survey was recently conducted by
the National Association of Attorneys
General to determine how the state at­torneys
general had ruled upon the
Pres. Philpott
approves
housemothers
By Greg Lisby
lainsman Staff* Writer
President Harry M. Philpott indi­cated
earlier this week that he disap­proves
of the adoption of "optional
housemothers" for campus fraterni­ties.
The recommendation came to him in
a report from the Committee on Frater­nities.
Philpott re turned the report to
the committee for further study.
He did, however, approve longer
visitation hours for coeds in both public
areas and dormitory sections of frater­nity
houses.
The new hours are from 11 a.m. to 2
a.m. seven days a week.
At the end of last quarter, the com­mittee
on Fraternities sent a recom­mendation
to Dr. Philpott suggesting
that the employment of a housemother
by a fraternity be non-cumpulsory.
"It is the conclusion of our commit­tee...
that the mere presence of a house­mother
does not guarantee the positive
influence desired on the fraternity. It is
for this reason that our committee re­commends
that the employment of a
housemother be optional with each
fraternity."
The committee went on to say that
"we f e e l . . . Auburn University should
retain final responsibility regarding
the decision of a fraternity whether or
not to employ advisery persons in resi­dence."
President Philpott did indicate that a
"graduate-in-residence" might pos­sibly
be an acceptable substitute for a
housemother.
The committee's report recom­mended
the involvement of a cam-patible
and skilled... graduate-in-resi­dence
as a substitute for a house­mother
in a fraternity, if house­mothers
were required.
The report defined a graduate-in-resi­dence
as "a member of the faculty or ad­ministrative
staff, or a student en­rolled
in graduate studies, either at the
master's or doctorate level, who has de­monstrated
maturity and responsibi-
(See page 5, col. 6)
question of students voting in their uni­versity
communities.
"Of the 34 state attorneys general
who responded to the survev. 25 had
ruled that the 26th amendment to the
United States Constitution requires
that college students be allowed to vote
in the university communities with no
special restrictions. The remaining
nine of the 34 attorneys general had
ruled that a strong presumption op­erates
in favor of students voting only
in the communities where their parents
reside.
"In three of the states where attor­neys
general ruled that such a pre­sumption
exists, the opinions were sub­sequently
overruled by state and
federal courts. This occurred with at­torney
general's opinions in Cali­fornia,
in Michigan and in Kentucky.
In the Michigan and Kentucky cases,
statutes identical to Title 17, Section 17
of the^labamaCode were held uncon­stitutional
by the courts.
Basically, the three questions asked
by Mrs. Proctor in her request for a
ruling and the attorney general's
answers were:
1) May a citizen between the ages of
18 and 21 establish a residence for the
purposes of voting registration in a
locale different from that of his or her
parents?
Yes. Under the 26th Amendment,
citizens between the ages of 18 and 21
are given the right to vote and if they
are not allowed to establish a residence
of their own for voting purposes then
they are being denied their constitu­tional
rights.
2) May a student of a college or uni­versity
be allowed to register to vote in
his or her university community?
Yes. "To restrict the right of this age
group to elect the government to which
they are subject would violate the equal
protection clause of the 14th Amend­ment."

University trustee
dies March 16
Redus Collier, University trustee and
president of Mutual Savings Life
Insurance Co.,diedMarch 16, atage66. „
On March 6, Collier was hospital-'
ized in Decatur after a heart attack
from which he never fully recovered.
Collier served as an Auburn trusteee
for 25 years. He graduated from Au­burn
in 1927 and later was appointed
as a trustee in 1947 by Gov. James Fol-som.
President Philpott said, "During the
25 years he served as a member of the
trustee board he rendered devoted,
intelligent and constructive service to
the advancement of all phases of the
Auburn program. As a member and'
chairman of the building committee his
knowledge of finance was particuarly
helpful."
Collier is survived by his widow, a
son Cris and two grandchildren, all of
Decatur.
Beach Boys to begin
spring entertainment
A concert by the Beach Boyp tomor­row
night in the Coliseum will lead off a
series of concerts that includes Stephen
Stills on April 14, Rod Stewart on April
25 and Melanie and Lighthouse on
May 19.
Tickets for the Beach Boys concert
cost $3, $4 and $5 and are on sale at the
Coliseum box office from 1 to 5 this
afternoon and 7 to 9 tonight. Tickets
will be sold from 1 to showtime at 7:30
on Friday.
The Beach Boys first became popular
as the originators of the "surfing
sound," but in the late 60's they ex­panded
their sound to other areas
under group leader Brian Wilson. Se­cond
only to the Beatles in worldwide
record sales, the Beach Boys have sold
over 65 million records.
Last Tuesday night, the Beach Boys
performed at the University of Mary­land
before a sell-out crowd. At the end
of the concert, after seven encores, the
audience stormed the stage.
SGA entertaiment director Bill
Bright stressed the importance of
taking care of the Coliseum floor,
recently damaged by cigarette butts,
during concerts. Bright noted that it
costs $7,500 to refinish the surface.
Officials may purchase a new cover
for the arena floor at a cost of $4,500,
but Bright said that the cover could
also be ruined by cigarette butts. The
University administration has asked
the help of students in taking care of
the Coliseum to ensure that concerts
can be held in the future.
Students expressed interest in book­ing
Joe Cocker for an Auburn concert,
Bright said, but the only dates Cocker
was available were too close to the
Stephen Stills concert.
The University of Alabama will pre­sent
Joe Cocker on April 9 and Bright
urged students who want to see Cocker
to go to that concert.
Through a cooperative ticket sales
agreement, tickets for the Joe Cocker
concert will be sold at the Auburn Col­iseum
and tickets for Auburn's Stephen
Stills concert will be sold at the Univer­sity
of Alabama Coliseum. Times and
dates of the sales will be announced
later.

ESP spring courses
offer 'fun learning'
Take your pick—for free:
instructions for a cheap tour
of "strange lands," revolu­tion
and the new left; jazz and
related cool music; emergen­cy
first aid; radical educa­tional
change; nutrition;
home-made belt crafts (ma-crame);
professional films
"for social change;" contem­porary
religious ideas;... and
"General Bull!"
This sampler of "fun learn­ing"
is available for every­body,
free of charge, courtesy
of the Extra-Curricula
Studies Program (ESP), the
student-operated "free
university" which, in its in­fancy,
instructed and enter­tained
nearly 300 students
last quarter.
Today, on the Haley Center
Mall, ESP Director Miriam
Scarsbrook and her' staff
members will be registering
interested persons for the
courses. So far about 350
people have signed up for the
17 courses being offered.
Those interested may also
register by calling the SGA
office (826-4240) or the
Ombudsman (826-4216).
In addition to the courses
listed above, some of "last
quarter's favorites" are avail­able:
photography, simple
auto mechanics, apprecia­tion
of country music, objec­tivism—
according to Ayn
Rand, women's lib and "ac­tion
ecology."
Operating expenses for
ESP this quarter are
minimal. "The Interfrater-nity
Council gave us $200
this quarter, and we're using
that gift for necessary minor
expenses. Other than that we
have no dependable income
source," said Ms. Scars-brook.
One ESP course that has
attracted considerable
curiosity is "Encounter
Marathon," a 24-hour sen­sitivity
session that allows
"you to get in deeper touch
with your feelings." Rod Sin­clair,
chaplain of St.
Dunstan's Episcopal Stu­dent
Center, will lead the
group.
More people have re­quested
"Marathon" than
can be handled at present,
but another class may be
scheduled if more sign up for
the course. Ms. Scarsbrook
emphasized that the
"Marathon" organizational
meeting (April 11, 7:30 p.m.,
HC 2370) is a "must" for all
who are registered for the
course.
The director was pleased
with the response to some of
the new courses (For exam­ple,
"General Bull," a class in
"frisbee throwing, creek-banking,
etc.," has attracted
over 80 people) but also listed
the following classes that
"deserve more interest:"
"Films for Social Change"
will feature some
provocative, contemporary
films on black power, Viet­nam,
the ecological crisis and
other controversial issues.
Debate coach Eric Bruggink
will conduct the discussions
which are "bound to be
stimulating."
"Emergency First Aid"
will offer practical informa­tion
on how to save lives in
emergency situations. The
course will be taught by ex­perts,
members of the Red
Cross.
"Radical Educational
Change" will evaluate
"what's wrong with Amer­ican
universities to­day—
specifically Auburn
University." Ms. Scarsbrook
said that the class would be
"extremely valuable to those
who wonder if the lecture
method is the only way to
teach."
"Contemporary Religious
Thought" will explore,
among other topics, "what's
happening to the established
churches" and "what the
Jesus Movement is all
about." Jerry Ridling, pastor
of the Village Christian
Church, will be the leader.

The ITT case is "all fishy"
and "smells with an aroma of
a special corporate interest
corrupting the public in­terest,"
Sen.John V. Tunney
of California said Tuesday
night.
Sen. Tunney, a Democra­tic
member of the Judiciary
Committee, has been in­volved
in hearings on the ITT
case this month. Tunney ac­cused
ITT officials of "trying
to rewrite recent history" to
cover up conflict of interest in
the Justice Department's
antitrust settlement with
ITT.
Tunney's speech was part
of the continuing Horizons II
Symposium.
The ITT case is just one
example of the control money
interests have in American
government, Tunney said.
"The American people are
justified in their skepticism
about politics and govern­ment,"
he added, using the
ITT case as an example.
Tunney listed three factors
that have made the public
skeptical of government;
"polipoop," or phony pol­itical
language, "poliprom,"
the making of wild cam­paign
promises and "poli-truth,"
the practice of a man
saying one thing on the plat­form
and doing the opposite
thing in government.
Of these three tactors, Tun­ney
said that the "insidious
pattern of promises," or "poli-didates
on large contribu­tions.
"We should have
publicly financed cam­paigns
for presidential can-didates,
senatorial candidates
and on down the line," he
said. ...
Taking campaigns out of
the hands of the money in­terests
would help keep
public officials free from
special interests, Tunney
contended.
Tunney defended his sup­port
of Sen Edmund Muskie's
presidential candidacy in res­ponse
to a question from the
floor during the question and
answer period. "I have served
with him in my committee
work, and I know he's a man
of intelligence, wisdom and
courage."
Tunney added, "He's also
the candidate with the best
chance to defeat Richard
Nixon—and I consider that a
desirable goal."

Pictures talk.
Some little boys don't.
Some inner-city ghettos have special schools. For little
boys who don't talk.
Not mute little boys. But children so withdrawn, so afraid
of failure, they cannot make the slightest attempt to do any­thing
at which they might fail.
Some don't talk. Some don't listen. Most don't behave. And
all of them don't learn.
One day someone asked us to help.
Through Kodak, cameras and film were distributed to
teachers. The teachers gave the cameras to the kids and told
them to take pictures.
And then the miracle. Little boys who had never said any­thing,
looked at the pictures and beganto talk. They said
"This is my house." "This is my dog." "This is where I like
to hide." They began to explain, to describe, to communicate.
And once the channels of communication had been opened,
they began to learn.
We're helping the children of the inner-city. And we're
also helping the adults. We're involved in inner-city job pro­grams.
To train unskilled people in useful jobs.
What does Kodak stand to gain from this? Well, we're
showing how our products can help a teacher—and maybe
creating a whole new market. And we're also cultivating
young customers who will someday buy their own cameras
and film. But more than that, we're cultivating alert, edu­cated
citizens. Who will someday be responsible for our society.
After all, our business depends on our society. So we care
what happens to it.
More than a business.

Keith Bedwell
BO^n, ,^B^Ff lffw
A conversation with Mrs. Buck Norris
The fact that our close friend and
associate Keith Bedwell is dead is a
fact that is almost impossible to ac­cept.
In his own quiet and unassuming
way, Keith has made a major contri­bution
to all of our lives. As we strove
to put out a paper this week without
his competent help, we all realized
that it was his friendship and his love
that we all missed rather t h a n simply
his work.
Keith was a member of The Plains­man
family. The long hours t h a t all of
us have spent working with him
created an unspoken bond of love. His
loss is to us like the loss of a brother.
Keith could often be found behind
his desk on Wednesday night when
the paper had gone to press and the
staff had headed for home, already
working on the next week's issue. He
wasn't what you'd call a hard-nosed
editor. Rather, he seemed to under­stand
people's shortcomings. When a
reporter didn't quite meet deadline or
turned in a story t h a t wasn't up to par,
Keith could always be counted on to
fix things up.
When, at the last minute we dis­covered
there weren't enough stories,
Keith could round up some more copy.
His death, to us, brings the
frightening thought that all we are
doing is trivial—that only life and
death are important.
But deeper thought tells us that
Keith wouldn't want it t h a t way. He
wouldn't want us to mourn. He
wouldn't want a long eulogy.
Keith would want us to continue to
seek, as he did, the trivial but beauti­ful.
He would want us to smile quietly
as he did when confronted with over­whelming
tasks. He would want life to
go on.
Get out the vote
Auburn students wishing to see a
clear example of irrational resistance
to change should go over to the Lee
County courthouse next Wednesday
to talk to the Lee County Board of Re­gistrars.
Despite a ruling by Alabama Attor­ney
General Bill Baxley t h a t students
may register to vote in college com­munities,
Mrs. Buck Norris, chair­man
of the local board has indicated
that she will continue to resist stu­dent
efforts to act as responsible citi­zens
by exercizing their right to vote.
The attorney general will have a re­presentative
at the courthouse who
will take down information from
then sue the Lee County Registrats if
they do not allow the students to vote.
The attorney general deserves re­cognition
for his courageous stand in
a somewhat controversial issue. The
fact that 25 other states have already
realized that students cannot be dis­criminated
against makes his deci­sion
a sound one.
After taking such a stand, the at­torney
general should have the
support of the students he h a s stood
up for. If no one registers to vote then
Baxley's work will have all been for
nothing.
We hope the Student Government
Association is successful in renting
buses to transport students to Ope-lika
Wednesday. To give students
some incentive, we hope the SGA will
start some competition such as that
used in campus blood drives.
Fraternities, sororities a n d other or­ganizations
should strive for 100 per
cent registration and should be recog­nized
if they are successful.
It is clear from Mrs. Norris' state­ments
this week t h a t registration cer­tainly
won't be made easy for
students. The registrars for example,
will not come to the campus to solicit
voters.
But students who really want to re­gister
will eventually be allowed to do
so—if not by Mrs. Norris then cer­tainly
by the courts.
Let's get out and vote. Make it the
"in" thing to do this quarter.
Who knows? We might just get
something accomplished.
Surf's up
Former SGA Pres. David Hill called
us this week to report on the ap­parently
phenomenal success of a
concert by the Beach Boys at the
University of Maryland Tuesday.
"They were fantastic," he said. Ac­cording
to Hill, a sellout crowd of
more than 8,000 packed the auditor­ium
and "went wild" during the
concert. He said the group was called
back for no less than seven encores
and tbat at the end of the concert, the
fans had broken down barriers and
pushed past campus police to crowd
the stage.
We hope the crowd won't get out of
hand at Auburn this weekend. But we
do hope there is a crowd. The Beach
Boys were at their peak when most of
us were in junior high school and their
concerts today include most of the old
surfing favorites t h a t we grooved to at
sock hops after the basketball games.
Friday night's concert should be a
good one. We'll see you there.
Redus Collier
Redus Collier has served on the Au­burn
Board of Trustees for the past 26
years and his death on March 16, is a
tremendous loss for the University as
well as for his family and friends.
To Auburn students, Collier has al­ways
been a special man. When he
was interviewed by The Plainsman in
1969 he said, "Any board member
who is concientious will make it a
point to know what the students feel
about issues."
To President Philpott, Collier was
also something special. "He rendered
devoted, intelligent and constructive
service to the advancement of all
phases of the Auburn program," Phil­pott
said. "As a member and chair­man
of the building committee his
knowledge of finance was
particularly helpful."
To Redus Collier's family and
friends we extend our sincere sym­pathy.

incident which could never be
adequately retold or explained
to someone who wasn't there.
In the process of gathering
information for this week's
lead story on the recent attor­ney
general's decision to allow
students to vote in their college
towns, I had one of those con­versations
that you simply
had to hear to really appre­ciate.
When I called Mrs. Buck
Norris, chairman of the Lee
County Board of Registrars,
she flatly refused to give a
straight answer to any of my
questions.
Because the conversation
reveals so much, I think, about
the attitude of the Lee County
Registrars, I have reprinted it
in full.
Draw your own conclusions.
Samford; We would like to
find out your opinion of the
recent attorney general's
ruling which says that
students should be allowed to
register to vote in their college
towns.
Mrs. Norris: I don't have any.
Samford: Will students now
be permitted to register to vote
in Lee County?
Mrs. Norris: We always have
allowed students to register in
Opelika.
Samford: Those whose
parents live out of town?
Mrs. Norris: Anybody that
wants to register in Opelika
has always been able to regis­ter
in Opelika.
Samford: A lot of students
have been turned down in the
past because their parents did
not live in Auburn or Opelika.
Mrs. Norris: Every student...
We're going exactly by what
we've always done—register­ing
every student like we
always have and that's the
only opinion I have.
Samford: Weren't a lot of
students not allowed to regis­ter
this fall and winter?
Mrs. Norris: I don't know
anything about it. Everybody
that came in that office filled
out a form if they wanted to.
Samford: But then a lot of
them were told that they
weren't allowed to register if
their parents didn't live in
Auburn or Opelika. Isn't that
correct?
Mrs. Norris: If they did not
pass the opinion of the board
then they were rejected and
that's all I have to say.
Samford: The opinion of the
board on whether or not they
were residents?
Mrs. Norris: On.. .just t h e . ..
they all filled out these forms.
You filled out one.
: Samford: Yes ma'am.
Mrs. Norris: O .K. So you . ..
When you filled out your form
you know what you had to do
so that's what all of 'em have
to do. And that's all I have to
say and I have an urgent tele­phone
call to make.
Samford: Just one other ques­tion.
Weren't several students
turned down when they tried to
register in Lee County?
Mrs. Norris: I've never re­fused
a student to register to
vote since I've been on that
board. They've all been given
forms to fill out.
Samford: No, I mean after
they filled them out?
Mrs. Norris: Well, that part..
. I have no comment. They
were all allowed to register . ..
a h . . . fill out a form when they
came in.
Samford: Fill out a form yes,
But weren't a lot of them not
ever actually put on the rolls of
registered voters.
Mrs. Norris: I don't know
how many.
Samford: Has anything
changed because of the attor­ney
general's ruling?
Mrs. Norris: Not that I know
of.
Samford: One other thing.
The StudentlGovernment Asso­ciation
here at Auburn
was planning on, I think,
asking the registrars if they
would perhaps come over to
Auburn to register students
one day.
Mrs. Norris: We've used all of
our time.
Samford: So this wouldn't be
a possibility?
Mrs. Norris: No.
Samford: I see . . .
Mrs. Norris: If you don't
mind I have this phone call I
have to make please.
Samford: All right. Thank
you very much Mrs. Norris.
Mrs. Norris: You're welcome.

National primary needed
'MAY&E THEY'RE RWHT, BUT I CAN'T 4IVE IT Uf?
4 quest editorial
It's not necessary to go to the
big top to see a circus, accord­ing
to Senate Democratic
Leader Mike Mansfield. The
senator from Montana says
that presidential primaries are
a "traveling circus," and it's
hard to disagree with him,
especially after the circus cam­paign
in Florida earlier this
month.
Voters were treated to the
sight of the Democratic can­didates
trying to out-Wallace
Gov. Wallace on busing.
Added to this funny enough
scene were shots of Sen. Mus-kie
taking batting practice,
Sen. Jackson riding a bicycle
in a "look mom, no hands!"
pose, and "Hee Haw's" Grand­pa
Jones playing to a packed
house of Wallace supporters.
The circus atmosphere has
been moderated in other
primaries, but still all the
public can expect is more
hoopla and inconclusive re­sults.
Primary results are incon­clusive
because each can­didate's
supporters try to inter­pret
the returns in the way that
shows their candidate most
favorably. Interpretation of
the results becomes a numbers
game in which a candidate
with 18 per cent of the vote can
claim a victory, as Hubert
Humphrey did in Florida.
Primary results in different
states mean different things.
adding further to the confu­sion
in interpreting them. In
Illinois, the "presidential pre­ference
primary" is only a
popularity contest; in other
states the primary returns are
actually binding on conven­tion
delegates to some degree.
State presidential primaries
are unsound politically, tiring
to the candidates and boring to
the public. Most of these
deficiencies can be attributed
to the patchwork manner in
which primaries sprung up in
the absence of constitution­ally
specified nominating pro­cedures.
Specifying these procedures
in a constitutional amend­ment
is the solution proposed
by Senators Mansfield and
George D. Aiken of Vermont.
The amendment would re­place
the series of 24 state-by-state
primaries with a single
national primary in early Au­gust.
This national primary
would remove many of the dis­advantages-
of the present sys­tem.
Opponents of the plan say
that it would raise new pro­blems,
such as extra expense,
less frank discussion of issues
and a breakdown in the party
system.
A national primary would be
expensive, but hardly more
than the present 24-state
"traveling circus." Also.plans
to regulate campaign spend­ing
could be applied more
easily to a single primary cam­paign
period than to the far-flung
and extended primary
circuit we have now.
Charges that a national pri­mary
would reduce frank dis­cussion
of issues seem ill-founded.
Frank discussion of
issues is not characteristic of
state primaries now and there
is little reason to assume that
setting up a national primary
would have any effect on the
amount of discussion of is­sues.
A national primary would
eliminate the major function of
the party conventions and this
could weaken the party sys­tem.
But, at the same time,
placing the nomination of
presidential candidates on a
basis other than the power
plays and deals of the party
convention would be good for
the party system. Involving
voters directly in the nomina­tion
process could strenghten
the party system and
generate confidence in it.
The national primary is not
the only solution to the pro­blem
of nominating can­didates
for the presidency.
Other plans have been pro­posed
and they deserve coh-sideration.
The problem is
obvious: it's time to put the
"traveling circus" back under
the big top and out of govern­ment.
Nixon resists wishes of American people
Editor's Note: The following is
the fourth in a series of 12 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 a r e only
a small part of the 1972 Presi­dential
campaign. Our hope is
that these articles will stimulate
thought and discussion about the
issues and the candidates.
In his first three years in office,
President Nixon's most constructive
contribution has been to begin the
normalization of relations with
China. He has also removed some of
the barriers to East-West trade and
eliminated a good deal of cold-war
rhetoric. But these posititive con­tributions
are far outweighed on the
negative side by the President's
policies on a host of national security
issues.
President Nixon has stressed com­mon
interests and deemphasized bel­ligerent
rhetoric when discussing the
Soviet Union and China. However, he
is curiously inconsistent when he
calls the North Vietnamese "interna­tional
outlaws" and refuses contacts
with Cuba.
In two major areas of negotiation
with the Soviet Union, the strategic
arms limitation talks (SALT) and
Germany, the Administration has
been businesslike but lacking in vi­sion.
The SALT negotiations, which
would have begun under the Johnson
Administration except for the Soviet
intervention in Czechoslovakia, may
produce an agreementto limit ABM's.
But SALT has been an exercise in
missed opportunities. Had either side
proposed a freeze on MIRV's, a
meaningful agreement might have
resulted. In the absence of such an
initiative, the arms' race is moving to
a new level of potential danger. On
the question of Germany, the
Administration has supported (or at
least not obstructed) Chancellor Willy
Brandt's efforts to regularize the
situation of Berlin and establish bet­ter
relations with his eastern neigh­bors.
President Nixon's "secret plan" to
end the war is still secret. His policy
appears to consist of propping up the
Thieu regime. While many American
troops have been withdrawn, there
were still 170,000 in South Vietnam or
on ships in adjacent waters at the end
of 1971. The war on the ground was
extended into Cambodia and Laos as
it diminished in South Vietnam, and
the air war was intensified, especial­ly
over Laos, Cambodia and North
Vietnam, as American ground troops
withdrew. The Nixon Administra­tion
dropped more tons of bombs on
Indo-China from 1969-71 than did the
Johnson Administration from 1966-
68. This three-year total exceeds the
U.S. bombing effort in World War II
and Korea combined. The massive
use of air power appears to be a
gamble by President Nixon to get
most American troops out and keep
his client from collapsing, at least be­fore
November. The price: continued
low levels of U.S. casualties (although
more POW's) and thousands of Indo-
Chinese killed or made into refugees.
The Administration has avoided
opportunities to negotiate a deadline
for withdrawal in return for the re­lease
of POW's and the safe exit of its
remaining armed forces, while claim­ing
that the other side has rejected
such an accord. Judging from his res­ponses
to Dan Rather in the CBS
interview of January 2, 1972, Pres­ident
Nixon may still intend to seek
this kind of agreement, but not before
mid-1972.
The Nixon Administration is as
guilty as its predecessor of mislead­ing
the public about Indo-China. The
Administration said it was sending
troops into Cambodia in 1970 be­cause
of a threatened invasion of
South Vietnam. Later it said the "in­cursion"
was caused by a threat to the
Cambodian government. The
Administration said its resumption of
bombing over North Vietnam at the
end of 1971 was meant to safeguard
departing U.S. troops in South Viet­nam.
Later it blamed the resumption
on a minor shelling of Saigon, North
Vietnamese activity in Laos, and
Hanoi's refusal to abide by "under­standings"
in 1968 which Hanoi has
never acknowledged."
Despite rhetorical flourishes about
"a generation of peace" and "transi­tion
from war to peace," the Adminis­tration
has pressed forward with new
weapons systems and high levels of
military expenditures, a military
draft continued for two more years
and the largest underground nuclear
tests yet held by the U.S. Once
MIRV's are deployed, the number of
U.S.jiuclear warheads will jump from
the 1971 level of 4,600 to an estimated
11,000 by the mid-1970's.
Only a strong effort by the Senate
Appropriations Committee suc­ceeded
in reducing military outlays to
$76 billion in fiscal 1972, and Sec­retary
Laird is reported readying a re­quest
for a substantial increase in
fiscal 1973. In trying to maintain a
high military budget, the Adminis­tration
has played on the fear of job
loss by workers in defense industry
while failing to plan for the orderly
transfer of skills and resources to civi-lain
pursuits. Moreover, it has bailed
out Lockheed, one of the most inef­ficient
and rigid of the giant defense
firms.
The President's foreign policy is a
return toward a conventional bal-ance-
of-power approach without the
messianic features of the cold war,
backed by an unprecedented nuclear
strike force and increased military as­sistance
to allies, who are expected to
provide the primary manpower for
their own defense. In the Pacific area,
this is the essence of the Nixon Doc­trine.
To date, Cambodia is the best exam­ple
of the Nixon Doctrine at work.
With U.S. military aid, the Lon Nol re­gime
has survived. But in October,
1971, Lon Nol dissolved the legis­lature
and instituted an undisguised
military dictatorship. The North Viet­namese
and Viet Cong, aided by
growing numbers of Cambodians,
control much of the country. Because
of their poverty, Lon Nol's troops
travel with their families. "With his
amulet in his mouth, dressed in bits
and pieces, with his children to see
him fall, the Khmer soldier goes to
war for the same wages as the driver
of a cycle-rickshaw" ("Le Monde,"
December 5-6, 1971).
President Nixon has opposed all of
the congressional efforts to restrict
the presidential war-making powers,
whether directed toward short-term
situations such as the U.S. interven­tion
in Cambodia or longer-term
situations to follow the end of the war.
Moreover, the President openly defied
the will of Congress by asserting that
he would not be bound by the policy
statement of the Mansfield Amend­ment.
When U.S. citizens have publicly
opposed the Nixon Administration's
foreign policies, they have often
found themselves subjected to govern­mental
surveillance or intimidation.
It was only under the pressure
generated by public exposure'that the
Army was ordered in 1971 to halt the
surveillance of civilian organiza­tions,
including SANE, a practice in­herited
from the Johnson
Administration. However, there is no
certainty that the computerized files
on these civilians have been ef­fectively
destroyed.
The Administration also became
the first to seek a court order to stop a
newspaper from publishing clas­sified
government documents, in the
case of the Pentagon Papers, while
the vice-president singled out specific
newsmen and news media for public
castigation. One of the Administra­tion's
most devious practices in the
naming of' co-conspirators" who are
identified but not indicted. While en­gaged
in these activities to stifle op­position,
the Administration failed to
take any action against the Ohio
Guardsmen who shot and killed four
students at Kent State.
President Nixon has failed to
exercise moral leadership which
could bring out the best in the Amer­ican
people. This failure has been
evident not only in the examples cited
above, but also in his responses to the
tragedies in Biafra, Bangladesh and
My Lai.
Nixon has made one important con­tribution
in the case of China, some
movement toward easing the cold
war; but no ability to end a hot war,
and a complete refusal to diminish the
executive war-making powers and the
mementum of the military-industrial
complex. The rhetoric has changed
somewhat, but this Administration
remains resistant to the basic wishes
of most Americans on matters of war
and peace.

3) What guidelines should registrars
follow in determining whether a
student is eligible to vote in his or her
college or university community?
Students from out-of-state must meet
the Alabama requirement of one year
residency in the state to vote in state
and local elections. There'is no resi­dency
requirement for voting in federal
elections. If a student is absent from
the university or college community for
a period of time- such as summer vaca­tion,
he may still count this period of
time as a resident of the state. Thus, for
example, if a student from Georgia
entersAuburnasafreshmanin Septem­ber
of a given year, he has fulfulled the
one-year residency requirement to vote
in state and local elections the follow­ing
September regardless of where he
spends his summer vacation.
Baxley's ruling clearly provides that
the burden of proof in cases where there
is doubt whether a student meets resi­dency
requirements, lies entirely with
the local Board of Registrars or any­one
else who challenges the student's
belief that he should be permitted to re­gister.
To be denied the right to vote in a
college town, someone must prove that
the student does not meet the regular
residency requirements. The student
does not have to prove his residency.
The ruling also made clear the two
additional points that 17-year-olds
must be registered to vote if they will
become 18 before the next opportunity
to vote and that establishing a resi­dence
in a college town for voting
purposes will not relieve an out-of-state
student from paying out-of-state
tuition charges at the college or univer­sity.
.
Reaction to the ruling in the Auburn
area has ranged from jubilation to
disgust.

receptive to students
Editor, The Plainsman:
In regard to a news short in the
March 2, 1972 issue of The Plainsman,
we, the members of Student National
Education Association, feel that you
did an injustice in cutting the article
concerning SNEA without informing
*us of the change. The short version of
the article did not convey the meaning
intended. We feel that articles should
not be drastically cut .and then printed
without consulting the writer or or­ganization.
A group of interested education stu­dents
have been working with depart-,
ment heads .and Dean Pierce to let the
School of Education know how the
students feel. Moreover, in these dis­cussions
we leam what changes are
being made as a result of our discus­sions.
The FEd department is very recep­tive
to student suggestions. Dr. Robi-son
welcomes all students to talk to him
.at any time about the FEd program.
Changes are being made to give conti­nuity
of material covered in FEd
courses. A manual will be published
fall quarter to give the objectives of
FEd courses. In addition, students will
continue to be involved in the evalua­tion
of all FEd courses.
4 All interested education students are
|r\irged to attend the SNEA-sponsored
s_tudent-faculty meeting Tuesday at
4:00 in HC 1403.

Editor, The Plainsman*
In a recent editorial you endorsed the
candidacy of Senator George
McGovern for President. The main
point raised by your editorial was the
honesty of Senator McGovern, but I
think that it is important to see what
Senator McGovern is honest about.
One point that he advocates is no in­come
tax on incomes of $12,000 or less
and complete expropriation by the
government on all incomes above
$12,000. Several other ideas of Senator
McGovern were recently commented
on by Stewart AIsop in "Newsweek"
magazine last Monday as follows:
"McGovern's nomination would
mean a revolutionary transformation
of this country's majority party. It
would mean the capture of the
traditionally internationalist
Democratic Party by isolationists, and
by what in Europe would certainly bei
called socialists. To cite one example,
McGovern proposes a cutoff in all in­herited
fortunes at $500,000. This
would in time leave no capitalists
worthy of the name, and a capitalist
system can hardly operate without
capitalists. There is no evidence at all
that McGovern has enough popular
support to fuel a revolution. "
There have been many men in
history who have honestly advocated
various means of destroying our
economic system and burying us. In
my opinion, the virtue of honesty does
not complete the circle of the necessary
requirements for President.
John V. Denson
Writer speaks
for Thunder Bird
Editor, The Plainsman:
There is someone at Auburn who has
beencruelly treated and I write this to
speak for him since he cannot.
I speak for the eagle, the bird chosen
for the symbol of the United States be­cause
he flies free through the highest
reaches of the sky; because he is swift
and cunning in predation; and because
his graceful and beautiful body hints at
the nobility of spirit within. He is the
cherished Thunder Bird whom the In­dians
held sacred and would never kill.
And what has been done to him by
members of the University? He has
been caged, robbed of his ability to fly
and catch his own prey; deprived of his
native habitat and that way of life
which gave him meaning. Now all he
can do is sit unmoving on a dirty perch,
his color gone, his beauty all but des­troyed,
his spirit broken.
Is this the symbol of the spirit of your
football team? Or is this the symbol of
the crime human beings are capable of
committing against other living be­ings?
To hold them captive so they can
be played with; sojthey must bow to the
rule of their owners, like slaves;so they
can be used as status symbols and
mascots.
It is this attitude which has des­troyed
the balance of nature in Amer­ica;
which has polluted exploited and
murdered so that buildings, cement,
plastic, asphalt and dams could exist.
So that now we face extinction.
I do not accuse; I do not say "guilty."
I say that we have been inadequately
educated.
We cannot change the mistakes
made in the past. We must instead look
ahead. Let us therefore dispose of
dangerously antiquated ideas and
learn the correct and healthy ways.
It is probably too late for this eagle's
freedom. Returned to his native wilder­ness
land, he would perhaps never re-learn
how to hunt and survive wild. I
say that when he dies, let his body be
sent to a taxidermist, to be forever
frozen in mid-flight. Let him then be
carried to the stadiums as your mas­cot,
now a beautiful symbol instead of a
living being struggling to be free of the
leash your ego has tied.
And never again deprive a creature
of its freedom, of its very life and soul ,
to be enslaved as your toy.
Since we share life with him, our own
life erodes away when we deprive him
of his.

Organization
City Council said, "I'm not surprised at
all at Mr. Baxley's ruling. If he is
running for governor, I think it is a poli­tical
move."
Probate Judge Ira Weissinger, chair­man
of the Lee County Commission
said ,'This is going to upset the apple
cart. I personally feel that a student
should vote in his home county where
he has more of an interest in local go­vernment.
Weissinger admitted that if
Baxley hadn't ruled as he did that the
federal courts would have probably
ruled the same way. "It's just the lesser
of two evils." he said.
SGA Pres. Jimmy Tucker praised the
attorney general for his ruling. Thev
• SGA has been working all year to get a"
clarification of the law and now plans a
voter registration drive on the two re-,
maining dates that the registrars will
meet before the primary on May 2.
Ed Rudd, SGA secretary of political
affairs said that buses will probably be
available to transport students from
the Union Building to the Lee County
Courthouse Wednesday and on March
17.
He said that SGA officials will visit
fraternity houses and sorority dormi­tories
to publicize the registration
drive. Rudd also said that the SGA is
planning several incentive programs
to make students register. No more de­finite
plans have been announced.
Rudd said that the registrars have in­dicated
that they will not obey the
ruling and for this reason the assistant
attorney general will be present Wed­nesday.
However, when The
Plainsman contacted Mrs. Buck
Norris, chairman of the Board of Re­gistrars
she would give no definite
comment.
When asked if the Baxley ruling
would change any policies of the regis­trars,
Mrs. Norris replied "Not that. T
know of." (For Mrs. Norris' complete
remarks see John Samford's column on
page 4.)
Most persons asked saw little chance
of a "student takeover" of government
in the Auburn area.
Tucker noted that local elections
usually occur in August when most
students are out of town- He also ex­pressed
confidence in students to vote
wisely and maturely in local elections.
Baxley himself stated that those who
are worried about such a takeover are
out of line. "In this regard it is my
fervent desire that student participa­tion
in the affairs of local, municipal
and county government will have a
beneficial effect," he said. "In this
matter, as in all other things which are
new and untried,' there will be skeptics
and prophets of doom. Recognizing a^
basis for honest differences of opinion
in this area, I would desire to be
recorded as having confidence in the
ability of the established community
and the newly registered student voters
to blend their voices and their ideas for
the common good."
Dr. Gerald Johnson, assistant pro­fessor
of political science, also saw
little chance of students having too
much effect on local government. "I
don't think many students will partici­pate
in the local election unless it is an
issue," he said. "Other than an issue
pertaining to students or a group
forming to attempt to put a student on
the city council, I don't see many
students turning out.

to inform parents why the student

• To /ounch on attack on drags
Hew police thief sets goats
By Larry Gierer
P l a i n s m a n Staff Writer
A hard crackdown on
drugs, a n expansion of police
Chief Kernel!
facilities and improving com­munity
relations are the
major goals of Auburn's new
Police Chief Thomas A.
Kernen.
Kernen was named the new
chief by the Auburn City
Council on March 9. He is re­placing
Fred Hammock,
police chief here since 1961.
Hammock retired to become
Community Relations Offi­cer
for the city.
Kernen, an Army MP for 20
years, has completed a law
enforcement program at
Louisiana and a criminology
course at the Institute of Cri­minology
in Lawton, Okla­homa.
The chief, a small dark
complexioned man who
reminds one of Dragnet's
Jack Webb, became in­terested
in police work at age
six.
"Probably the first time I
saw a policeman in uniform I
knew what I wanted to be."
Besides, both my parents
were detectives and their
stories made quite an im­pression
on me. Police work
just kind of runs in my
blood," said Kernen.
Discussing the switch from
the military to civilian life
the Akron, Ohio native said,
"The difference is like day
and night. There is more free­dom
of movement here. In the
army, there are so many no­tifications
and appeals to
higher authority. Now that
I'm here I am ready and
willing to work."
The drug traffic will be a
main point of attack now by
the Auburn police. "We will
try to catch the person before
he is forced to commit a
Summer job program
to help place students
Students will have a better
chance of securing summer
jobs if the newly-launched
War Eagle Summer Employ­ment
Program is successful.
Sponsored and funded by
the SGA, the Auburn Alum­ni
Association and the Office
of Financial Aid, the
program is designed to
g a t h e r information on
summer job opportunities
and to interview students for
available positions.
To obtain job information,
the Alumni Association has
sent letters asking for assis­tance
to all University
alumni and SGA workers
have contacted city officials
in Auburn and Opelika for
lists of all licensed local busi­nesses.
SGA Secretary of
Student Services Mike
Wilson said, however, t h a t he
doesn't expect much* infor­mation
to be available until
"about two or three weeks
from now."
Meanwhile, setting up
office this week in 109 Mary
M a r t i n Hall are the
program's co-directors, Jim
Cotton, 6SED, and Dave
McCracken, 6 SED. When the
job information does become
a v a i l a b l e , Cotton and
McCracken will interview in­terested
students and screen
them according to specifica­tions
for the positions. Office
hours are 10:30-11:30 a.m.
and 1-4 p.m., Monday
through Friday.
Wilson pointed out that a
successful summer job place­ment
service exists at the
University of Tennessee
where program coordinators

1100 summer job posi­tions
in the first year of
operation.
crime. I plan a hard crack­down
on pushers and users of
all narcotics," the chief said.
He also mentioned the pro­bable
use of trained dogs to
sniff out marijuana. "Let's
just say that I know where I
can get some dogs if I want
them. I have great faith in
dogs."
Another major goal is to
expand the department. "As
the city expands the police
force must expand. We've got
to grow with the city," he
said. "All this includes a
wider range of patrol en­forcement,"
he added.
He added that one of his
main problems is a lack of
manpower. "It seems t h a t no
one today wants the re­sponsibility
of protecting life
and property." Kernen also
mentioned that he hopes the
police department will soon
have a building of its own
instead of the small space
presently occupied.
The new officer hopes to
produce better community re­lations
by demonstrating to
the people t h a t the police are
doing a good job.
He said that many times
"just the sight of a police car
has a psychological effect on
a would-be crook and
prevents him from commit­ting
a crime."
Kernen added that, consid­ering
the rising crime r a t e in
America and the large com­munity
here, he was amazed
at "the low crime rate" in
Auburn. "The people of
Auburn can feel proud of the
way they live."

To Frances
The Sigma Tau Delta English honorary announced Feb.
24 the winner of its poetry contest, which was conducted
winter quarter.
Winner of the Rugh Faulk award for poetry was Ms. Rena
Mount, 3GEH. The poem entitled "To Francis "follows:
Step down high, the pier splinters.
Where boards have groaned toward the water
Rusty nails protrude in crazy lines,
Holding a fewwhite grains on their heads.
We are almost there. Look
the knots in these old boards wink, squint,
leer, depending on which sort of scrap
lay handy for hammering on step
further into nowhere.
You see it. I would never warn you;
gouged at our bare feet: CARLOS.
He was here was where?
Who existed, knelt here
Only to blister his name
from the wind?
In straight arches birds fly home,
soldiers march away. Carlos flashing
through days and tears
is quanta only,
blinking their stiff maneuvers.
So we stand in the sun forgetting,
And play with words
to cheat the defenseless dead,
lest autumn wrap quiet as pearl around us,
shell of the year, fracturing roars from
somewhere far, somewhere hot and grinning.
Fall could layer drowsiness. We prayed to
crabs and all protected crawlers: eat
your dead, rap scuttling down with us,
the sand pours through,
the salt beats on our backs!
But should we nod or feel, so deep
inside our slick-grained solitude,
or dream of the indifferent winter?

Book wins acceptance
By Lucy Harrison
Plainsman Staff Writer
Dr. Gabriel Angel de los
Reyes, assistant professor of
Spanish at Auburn, has
recently been notified of the
acceptance of his book
"Vocabulario de Los
Lucidarios Espanoles" for
publication by the Royal
Spanish Academy. This is an
honor never previously won
by a resident professor at any
American university.
The book contains defini­tions
and origins of 3,476
Spanish terms. These words
range in origin from Hebrew
to Persian, Greek, French
and Latin.
Research for the book took
Dr. de los Reyes ap­proximately
two years. "Los
Lucidarios Espanoles," a
Spanish book which poses
philosophical questions,
written in 1293, serves as the
basis for Dr. de los Reyes'
"Vocabulario." He inves­tigated
each term in the
Spanish book individually,
determining their respective
origins and definition
changes.
Dr. de los Reyes'
"Vocabulario de Los-
Lucidarios Espanoles" has
been hailed as a far-reaching
and intellectually useful re­search
product It has been
predicted that the book will
become a standard reference
volume for all major
libraries. At present there is
no other such book available
in Spain or Latin America.
A native of Havana, Cuba,
Dr. de los Reyes was a lawyer
for thirteen years before
coming to the United States.
He has received numerous
awards and has been in
many honor societies, both in
the U.S. and Cuba*.
Dr. de los Reyes attended
Havana University, Lou­isiana
State University and
the University of Kentucky.
Before coming to Auburn, he
served as assistant professor
of Spanish at Eastern Ken­tucky
University.
At this time Dr. de los
Reyes is working on a
magazine article. It will soon
appear in the "Southern
Humanities Review" and
deals with "Miguel A.
Asturios" by Richard Collau.

in the program. One
ciety and author of "Since
Silent Spring" and "Disaster
by Default." Another speaker
will be Wayne Davis, popula­tion
ecologist from the Uni­versity
of Kentucky.
Several industrialists will
also speak.
Saturday morning, April
22, Auburn students will join
the Columbus Bicycle Club in
bicycling to Chewacla.
A multi-media show on the
theme of Earth Week will
include many exhibits in the
Haley Center lounge by
national and local associa­tions.
The Sierra Club, for
example, will present a
nationally-used display on
strip-mining. Auburn's ESP
Ecology class will also have a
display.
Prizes will be awarded to
elementary and high school
students for the best draw­ings
representing the theme
of Earth Day.
The next ZPG meeting will
be Tuesday night at 7 p.m. in
Funchess 336. Meetings are
held every first and third
Tuesday.E lections for new of­ficers
will take place at the
next meeting.
By Alice Murray
Features Editor
A young man with long
brown hair and blue jeans
walked into Haley Center
2213 last quarter and intro­duced
himself as Mark
LaFountain.
"You can call me anything
you like, but I prefer Mark,"
the 25-year-old teacher told
the 120 students in his first
sociology class at Auburn.
LaFountain has com­pleted
his first quarter as an
instructor of sociology and is
currently teaching introduc­tory
sociology and social
problems
Conservation and pollu­tion
are two of LaFountain's
major concerns. "I think part
of the pollution picture is
changing some priorities for
space spending. If we would
use some money for mass
transit and low-polluting
engines that we now are
spending on the SST or the
space shuttle, we could
improve many of our en­vironmental
problems," he
said.
Concerning the educa­tional
process at Auburn,
LaFountain said, "The auto­nomy
of departments here is
amazingly restrictive com­pared
to other schools.
And the way departments
maintain boundaries seems
as if each department is ter­ribly
worried about someone
infringing on their territory.
This is a very myopic,
narrow, view of education
and it cheats the person who
is interested in getting a
rounded view."
"The extremely small
number of black students
here disturbs me," he said.
"I'm certain that there are
black students that are quali­fied,
just as they are quali­fied
to go anywhere else. I
don't know the reason, but I
would assume that there are
more who would want to
come if they were recruited."
"They say they're educat­ing
young adults, but the
women students are treated
like little girls. The curfews
are ridiculous," he said.
As for politics',^ Fountain!
is an independent."Iwouldn't
support Wallace orNixon''he
said. "I'm reading now and
listening to what all the
candidates have to say," he
said.
"Wallace says what he
thinks and places an empha­sis
on the little man, but
there are some of his stands
that I just can't agree with. I
agree with him on his stand
on busing, but he has stated
no commitments on major
social issues. Unfor-tunatly,
many of the people
of Alabama don't care about
foreign policy, for them
busing is the big thing. But
there is more to being Presi­dent
than being able to solve
the busing issue," he said.
LaFountain is a native of
Bridgehampton, Long Island
and a graduate of Holy Cross
College in Worcester, Massa­chusetts.
He completed his
masters at the University of
Tennessee and was working
on his dissertation in
Knoxville when the teaching
position here was offered
him.

Students distribute
POW-MIA bracelets
Bracelets honoring Amer­ican
prisonersof war in Viet­nam
and soldiers missing in
action (P.O.W. — M.I.A.'s)
are being distributed by stu­dents
at Auburn and nation­wide.
Each bracelet bears the
name of a particular P.O.W.
or M .1 .A. and worn with a
vow that it will not be re­moved
until families are
assured of the status of their
P .0 .W. loved one and
assured that he receives
humane treatment, accord­ing
to Steve Harris of the
Arnold Air Society, a mili­tary
group sponsoring the
drive at Auburn.
The vow is apparently
taken with conviction. "I
wear mine constantly and
don't even remove it when I
shower," Harris said. "When
we distribute the bracelets,
we make it clear that a person
accepting one must wear it
with conviction ," he added.
The drive, which has been
emphasized this week, is
sponsored nationally by a
student group headquar­tered
in California called
Voices in Vital America
(VIVA).
Donations for the bracelets
go toward the cause of the
P .0 .W.—M .1 .A .'s, mainly
for making the public aware
and conscious of the Vietnam
prisoner of war situation,
Harris said.

Johnny Simmons -
Safety and shortstop
After Oklahoma's thrashing of Auburn in the Sugar Bowl,
there were very few players who had performances worth
shouting about or even writing about for that matter.
But Sooner quarterback, Jack Mildren, reserved some
special words of praise for safety Johnny Simmons. The
Childersburg native drew this assessment from the Texan.
"Simmons is the best safety I've ever seen put on a pair of
shoulder pads," he said after the game. However, if the
shaggy haired signal caller happened to be passing through
the loveliest village this time of the year, he would probably do
a double take upon seeing Simmons decked out in baseball
duds and resting a bat on his unpadded shoulders.
No, Simmons isn't giving up football. He is just taking time
out to play a sport that once offered him $50,000.
At Childersburg high school, Simmons was a three sport
man. He played football, basketball, and was a shortstop en
the baseball squad. It was in the latter sport where Simmons
drew the most attention.
Immediately after his senior year in baseball, he was ex­tended
an offer of $50,000 to ink with the Kansas City Royals.
Luckiest person . . .
"A lot of people told me I was the luckiest person around,
being only 17 years old and having a chance to make so much
money," Simmons recalled. "The first two or three days were
pretty nice," he smiled. "I just kind of sat around and enjoyed
myself and it really felt good to know I had been fortunate to
be drafted."
But that feeling soon changed "When the people from
Kansas City came down and otarted talking money along
with some other things, it sort of upset me," Simmons
commented. "I knew that if I signed a pro contract with the
Royals, it would mean I wouldn't be able to play football at
Auburn who had offered me a scholarship."
Playing at Auburn had been in Simmons' mind for a long
time. "Ever since I can remember I had been going to watch
them play football," Simmons said. "My father was a big
Auburn fan and I also had two sisters who had graduated
from Auburn."
His parents advised him but left the decision completely up
to him and after many hours of debate he decided tot urn down
the glittering figure and come to Auburn. "Right oefore I
signed, one of the coaches asked me if I was going to play pro
kail and I told him no," Simmons said.
Baseball Not easy •
As is common knowledge now, Simmons established
himself as a starter in his sophomore year and performed like
• veteran. But baseball was still in the back of his mind.
| When I arrived at Auburn, coach Jordan told me I could play
baseball in my sophomore year but our defensive back coach,
Bill Oliver, left for Alabama so I went through spring practice
to learn what our new coach, Sam Mitchell, had to teach," the
compactly built Simmons said.
So, with another season under his belt and a year under
coach Mitchell's tutelage, Simmons talked to coach Mitchell,
coach "Shug" Jordan, and baseball coach Paul Nix about the
possibility of playing this season and all heartily gave their
consent .
However, it hasn't been easy rounding back into the form he
once possessed. Three years of idelness in an sport if bound
to make even the best a bit rusty.
"Hittingis probably the part of my game I need to work on
most," said Simmons. "Getting the rhythm back in my swing
will take a little time. I'm also having a bit of trouble moving,
laterally and making the pivot at second."
Confidence plays a major role in any athlete's life and
Johnny thinks he may have lost some of this important ingre­dient.
"I do believe I have lost some confidence, mostly
because I haven't played enough college caliber competi­tion,"
Simmons remarked.
But probably the biggest problem confronting Simmons is
that his reflexes aren't as sharp as they once were. "Instead of

Harriers to compete
in Carolina Relays
By Jerry Coombes
P l a i n s m a n Sports Writer
Despite several strong
individual performances, the
Auburn track squad finished
a distant seventh in last
weekend's LSU Invitational.
However, the Tiger thin-clads
will be looking for an
improvement when they
travel to Columbia, South
Carolina for Saturday's
Carolina Relays.
In the Relays, team scores
will not be computed and
competition will be strictly on
an individual basis. This will
be the second year Auburn
has participated and the
thinclads will face competi­tion
from Florida, Florida
State, Georgia, Duke, South
Carolina and North Carolina
Central.
Reflecting on Auburn's
chances this weekend, track
coach Mel Rosen com­mented,
"this will be a very
competitive meet, but I think
we have several good
chances to place." Milton
Bresler in the intermediate
hurdles, Steve Richards in
the high hurdles, Bobby
Baker in the 100, Tommy
Newdome in the long jump,
Jerry Wooden and David Par-rish
in the triple jump, and
the mile, two mile and sprint
relay teams all stand a real
good chance of doing well."
Members of the mile relay
team will be Greg Hamm,
Bobby Scott, Bresler and Tim
Curry while Hamm, Frank
Ogles, Randy Brown and
Dick Saunders will run the
two mile relay and Scott, Bob­by
Baker, James Bailey and
Kit Brendle will run the
sprint relay.
North Carolina Central, a
team which won four events
in the Florida Relays earlier
this year, is considered by
Rosen as the team to beat.
Central is paced by Larry
Black, last season's NCAA
champion in the 220, Melvin
Bassett, last season's NCAA
runner-up in the 440 inter­mediate
hurdles, and two dis­tance
runners from Kenya's
Olympic team.
One of the highlights of the
meet will be the matchup bet­ween
Auburn's Bresler and
Central's Bassett in the inter­mediate
hurdles. Both are
national contenders and
Bresler is coming off a win in
the LSU Invitational in
which he set a meet record of
51.7.
Bresler's victory was the
only win the Tigers captured
in the Invitational, however,
several of Rosen's men ran
personal record times. Host
LSU won the meet with 6C/2
points and was followed by
Louisiana Tech 51, North
Texas State 43, University of
Southern Louisiana 36V2,
Minnesota 28, Drake 25, Au­burn
20, Houston 3 and
Tulane 3.
"We ran awfully well,"
noted Rosen, "but we did not
score as well as I had hoped
because the competition was
rough. To give you a couple
of examples, Bobby Baker
ran a 9.7 but did not qualify
for th6 finals because three
boys ran 9.6. Also, our three
milers (Larry Noda and Ken
Kline) moved up to number
two and three on the all time
Auburn list but they also did
not place.
After this weekend's Re­lays,
the thinclads return to
Auburn for the first of three
home meets, a tri-meet
against South Carolina and
Georgia Tech on April 8.

The Auburn baseball team
will confront its first SEC op­ponent
when they tangle
with the Florida Gators Fri­day
at 3 p.m. and Saturday at
1:30 p.m.
The Tigers enter into the
Gator contest sporting a 4-4
slate compiled over the
spring break and having a
major portion of their
schedule wiped out due to the
wims of Mother Nature.
Five games were cancelled
due to wet grounds, including
three scheduled engage­ments
againft Tennessee
Monday and Tuesday. The
second game of a
doubleheader against Eddie
Stanky's South Alabama
Jaguars was rained out as
was a contest against Jack­sonville
State.
Coach Paul Nix's Tigers
opened the season with bar­rels
blazing as they pounded
out 17 hits in a 16-5 romp over
Austin-Peay in the first game
of a twin-bill, but cooled off
in the second game, losing 13-
4. Center fielder Joe Haefner,
catcher Andy Merchant, and
third baseman Vic Sharek
drilled their first homers of
the season against the
Governors in the first game
as Haefner went 5 for 5 and
"Big Red" rapped four hits in
as many attempts.
The Tigers lost the ser­vices
of Shareck for six weeks
as he broke a bone in his foot
after being stepped on in the
second game. J
The Plainsman dropped -
their second game of th» sea- •
son against South Alabama,
1-0, with Jaguar southpaw
Mark Hoffman stopping the
Tigers on one hit. Auburn
hurler, Jack Van Yperen
pitched an excellent game
but allowed the only run of
the day in with an error as he
attempted to cover first base.
The Tigers split two games
against West Georgia and
Jacksonville State in their
next engagements belting
West Georgia 8-2 and falling
victim to the Gamecocks 4-0.

win for the Plainsman.

Two All-State running
backs from Illinois, a two
time most valuable player in
the Alabama State Class A
Basketball Tournament, and
two outstanding cagers from
Memphis Tenn. and Miami,
Fla. were all inked to grant-in-
aids over the holidays by
Auburn recruiters.
The signing of Rich
Koehler and Jack Verucchi,
teammates at St. Bede
Academy in Peru, Illinois,
brought to 38 the total num­ber
of Auburn football
signees.
Koehler and Verucchi had
received more than 50 offers
including all big ten and big
eight schools and had nar­rowed
their choices down to
Oklahoma and Auburn be­fore
deciding to sign with the
Tigers.
Koehler picked up 1,021
yards on 149 carries in his
senior year for a 7.3 average.
The 6-1, 202 pound All Stater
covers the 40 yard dash in 4.6
seconds and scored 136
points this past season, in­cluding
16 touchdowns on the
ground, 4 touchdowns via the
airways, and eight two-point
conversion attempts.
The versatile Koehler was
also a linebacker and was the
third leading tackier on the
team although playing only
about half the time on de­fense.
Verucchi, 5-11, 180, is also
multi-talented athlete. He
gained 1,146 on 142 carries
for 7.8 yards per carry and
also racked up 16 touch
downs. In addition to his role
as a running back, Verucchi
returned punts and kickoffs
with a 26.2 average on 12
punt returns and a 100 yard
kickoff return to hiscredit.
Verucchi amassed 138 points
during the past season.
Both Verucchi and Koehler
were named to the Chicago
Daily News first team All-
State.
Basketball coach Bill Lynn
ranged from Miami to Mem­phis
to enlist some cage
talent but it was close to
home where he grabbed off
the top prize. Richard Gort-ney
of Millerville, selected as
the MVP in Class A State
Tournament in 1970 and
1972, signed with the Tigers.
The 6-5 Gortney averaged
25.1 points per game during
his four career as he led Bibb
Graves High School to the
state Class A title in 1970 and
1972.
During those four years,
Bibb Graves won 115 games
while losing just 13. Gortney
averaged 26.0 points per
game and 19 rebounds his
senior season and was

named to the State Class A
All-State team for three
straight years. Coach Lynn
described Gortney as "a real
solid player who can play in­side
or out."
Two other All-Staters, Bill
Turner of Memphis, Tenn.
and Gene Swindle of Miami,
Fla., where also landed by
Lynn. Turner, a 6-3 guard,
averaged 20.6 points per
game for Treadwell High
School in Memphis and
finished second to Bill Cook,
a prep All-America, as the
most outstanding player in
the memphis school system.
Swindle, a 6-7,215 poun for­ward
for Southwest High in
Miami, popped the nets for 22
points a game and picked off
18 caroms a contest.
"Swindle is a fabulous
athlete," remarked Lynn.
"He's green and un­developed
and he has a lot of
talent that hasn't been tap­ped."
Of course, as everybody is
aware of by< how, Rick
Christian, an ambidextrous
All-America quarterback
from Danville Illinois has
cast his lot with the Tigers.
Rick was picked as the best
high school quarterback in
the country this season by
the same national magazine
that selected Pat Sullivan to
the same position prior to
Pat's senior year at John Car­roll.
The 6-0, 195 pound
Christian passed for 1,100
yards and 14 touchdowns
and rushed for 652 yards and
12 more touchdowns his
senior year as he guided Dan­ville
High School to identical
9-0 records and a big 12 con­ference
championships the
past two seasons.
A truly outstanding
athlete, Christian earned All-
State honors in both football
and basketball in 1970-71.

Coach Luther Young's
squad travels to Huntingdon
College in Montgomery
today to begin "definitely a
rebuilding year" for Auburn
tennis.
Although the tennis coach
terms this year's team "as
hard a working group" as he
has had in his 27 years with
Tiger tennis, he is quick to
caution that his netters may
be overpowered this season
by the forces of strong com­petition
and limited by a lack
of experience. Young also
pointed out that the team also
suffered a severe blow when
two of its top three players
from last year's team were
lost because of academic and
disciplinary reasons.
Tommy Mike, four year let-terman
from LaGrange, Ga.,
will return to his number one
slot. The senior is described
by his coach as "as real com­petitor"
who relies on hustle
to compete with some of the
top collegiate players in the
country. He is not playing up
to his usual par due to winter
quarter academic schedule
which unfortunately left very
little time for tennis.
The number two man will
either be Ed Larsen or Jay
Pease. Larsen, an army
veteran from Camp Hill, can
also be classified as a hard
worker. The sophomore has
been slowed by a weight
problem, but he has managed
to shed a few pounds to puck
up speed and is expected to
get into top shape as the
season progresses.
Surprisingly freshman
Pease has probably had more
experience in competitive
tennis than any other
member on the squad.
According to Coach Young,
the Columbus, Ga., native
shows a lot of promise and
should help the AU tennis
program tremendously.
The remaining three spots
of the starting six will come
either from veterans Larry
Sandefer of Gainesville, Fla.
and Chris Brown of Bir­mingham
or newcomers
James LaFavour of Atlanta,
Ga; Bill Ward of Tuscaloosa;
Charles Strickland i of Fort
Walton Beach, Fla.; and
Breck Bartmess of Kennett,
Mo. All have been battling
hard for starting berths.
Auburn's first home match
on Monday at 1:30 p.m.
which will be against

"probably the best team

Charlie Owens as well as the

"HAY MISTY FOR MI
By Larry Gierer
Intramural Editor
In last quarter's action the
SCs showed everyone why
they are the champs as they
roared to a first place finish
over the DCs in the cham­pionship
game 54 to 44.
The SCs tenacious defense
held the DCs to a mere 4
points in the first quarter and
never fell behind the rest of
the game. The leading scorer
for the champs was Richard
Wilker with 15 points while
the DCs were led by Butch
Dismukes with 22.
The final bowling results
showed PKP winning the
League A competition and
BTF winning in League B"
But that was last quarter.
This quarter the Men's Intra­mural
ports Program will
consist of softball, tennis,
badminton, horseshoes, and
track. League play will begin
on April 3.
In addition to these the In­tramurals
departmentwill be
sponsoring an open wrest­ling
tournament all weight
divisions included.
Dailey
(Continued from page 9)
said. "But I'm sure everything will come around as the season
progresses.
"I certainly feel much better now than I did before the
season began," Simmons continued. "I've played in eleven
games now and game experience has helped me tremen­dously."
Even with a three year layoff, Simmons' natural
talent is easily witnessed on the diamond. Against Eddie
Stanky's South Alabama Jaguars, Simmons was the only
Auburn player who could manage a hit off of Jaguar south­paw
Mark Hoffman. His arm, from deep in the hole, is as good
as you will see and his glove work is excellent.
As in high school, Simmons is still under the close scrutiny'
of professional scouts who flock to the college ball parks to
pick out talent for their respective clubs. And one thing is for
sure, they haven't forgotten him. You just don't forget some­body
who is worth $50,000.
April 19 and 20 and the entry
deadline for the tournament
will be on Wednesday April
12. Due to a lack of facilities
each weight division will be
limited to 16 entries. The first
16 in each division to enter
will be in the tournament.
Another announcement
from the department
concerns the new informal re­creations
hours, he hours for
the pool and the auxilliary
gym will be Mon.-Fri. from 4
to 6 p.m. and from 7 to 10 p.m.
On Sat. and Sun. they will be
open from 2 to 5 p.m.
At the student activities
building, equipment check
out and in-formal recreation
will be Mon.-Fri. from 2 to 6
p.m. Tennis courts can be re-seved
by calling the Student
activites building between 3
and 6 p.m. the day before the
court is desired.
The weight room will be
open Mon.-Fri. from 3 to 6
p.m. and from 7 to 10 p.m. On
Sat. and Sun. it will be open
only from 2 to 5 p.m.
In another major contest
the scribes from The Plains­man
stifled the voices of
WEGL in the annual radio
vs. press basketball game.
The final score was 57-31 but
the game was really not that
close.
