Advisory committee
prepares proposal
for handball courts
By Larry Gierer
Assistant News Editor
A proposal to construct 10 four-wall
(indoor) handball courts and six new
tennis courts was formally prepared
Tuesday by the Recreational Services
Advisory Committee.
The proposal will soon be sent to
Pres. Harry M. Philpott for considera­tion.
Members of the committee hope that
both the handball courts and the ten­nis
courts can be constructed. How­ever,
if obstacles prevent complete im­plementation,
the handball courts are
billed as "first priority."
The plan calls for a structure of
10,000 square feet containing the hand­ball
courts which would be comparable
to those recently completed at Tennes­see
(16 courts), Texas (28 courts), and
Memphis State (15 courts).
"Auburn is the only school in the
Southeastern Conference except the
University of Florida that does not
have four-wall handball courts," said
Louis Adams, senator from the School
of Veterinary Medicine and vice-chair­man
of the committee. "We must push
for handball courts now if we ever want
to get them. We cannot afford to wait
any longer," he added.
According to Adams, students and
faculty members have voiced a "very
strong preference" that the courts be
built.
Although the proposed indoor courts,
which would be built under specifica­tions
of the United States Handball As­sociation
would cost 50 per cent more
than outdoor courts, "students and
faculty members would probably use
indoor facilities much more often than
outdoor facilities," said Adams.

Philpott makes f rats employ
housemother or substitute
By Greg Lisby
Assistant News Editor
Pres. Harry M. Philpott has vetoed
the Committee on Fraternities' propo­sals
to make the employment of house­mothers
by Auburn fraternities op­tional
and has now required all frater­nities
to have either a housemother or a
graduate-in-residence in the fraternity
house.
Philpott clarified the ruling, how­ever,
by saying that fraternities can
"petition the committee for a waiver of
the requirement to have a house­mother
or graduate(s)-in-residence
and, under justifiable circumstances,"
the committee is empowered to grant
such a waiver "for a specified period of
time."
In the memorandum to the commit­tee,
Philpott noted that the ruling will
not affect most fraternities still em­ploying
housemothers.
The revised social policies for frater­nities
state that "Auburn University
considers the presence of a qualified
housemother or graduate(s)-in-res-idence
to be a positive force in the total
development of the individual fraterni­ty
man, a stabilizing influence and a
force for continuity within the house
organization."
"The desirability of this has been a
matter of general agreement," Phil­pott
commented.
"It is my conviction that, during the
coming year, we can continue to em­phasize,
on the part of the University,
our firm belief that competent house­mothers
or graduate(s)-in-residence ful­fill
a most desirable role in the fraterni­ty
program," he contended.
The committee is now in the process
of considering the criteria to be used in
deciding whether or not to grant
waivers to fraternities without house-
Mrs. Jeff Beard

Mrs. Maiben Beard, wife of Athletic
Director G. W. "Jeff Beard, died Mon­day
in the Lee County Hospital after an
extended illness.
Graveside services were held Tues­day
at Auburn Memorial Park.
Notable persons attending the
funeral included Coach Paul "Bear"
Bryant of the University of Alabama
and Coach Vince Dooley of the Univer­sity
of Georgia.
Mrs. Beard, 61, is survived by her
husband, three children and several
grandchildren.

mothers or graduate(s)-in-residence.
If a fraternity desires such a waiver,
it should submit its request and rea­sons
for the request to the committee.
Then, through the office of the As­sistant
Dean for Fraternities, waiver
requests will be evaluated and recom­mendations
given to the committee.
Visitation hours for women in frater­nities
are still 11 a.m. to midnight Sun­day
through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 2
a.m. Friday and Saturday.
The new policies supercede all exist­ing
statements in the Tiger Cub hand­book
and women's visitation reg­ulations
set forth by the Social Life
Committee.
At the end of the memorandum, Phil­pott
remarked, "May I express to each
member of the committee my apprecia­tion
for all the consideration they have
given this matter. I am particularly
grateful for the understanding that all
of us have been working to provide the
best possible future for the fraternity
system at Auburn."
Job market
down greatly
By J a n Boyd
Plainsman Staff Writer
Remember the good old days when a
college degree was almost a sure
guarantee for finding a job after
graduation? Well, if you do, you can
kiss those days good-bye, because a
new trend has taken over on college
campuses today.
Scott Farley, head of the Auburn
Placement Service, which handles all
campus recruiting and interviews for
job-hunting graduates, said. "I'll be
honest with you. The job opportunity
situation has gone down tremendously
in the past three years since the peak
year of 1968. The job market all over the
country is off."
Farley attributed the decrease in job
opportunities to the fact that the total
economy of thecountry is down. "When
a business firm isn't making as much
money, it just can't hire as much. We
have had the total number of
companies that recruit on campus
down 40 per cent from peak years."
Despite the discouraging figures,
Farley said he saw no reason for any
great alarm. Although job op­portunities
are down tremendously
from the peak years, he said that the
placement service has noted some pick­up
in job requests since the previous
year.
According to the 1970-71 Auburn
Placement Report, "Job offers as
reported by the (national) College
Placement Council, reached the lowest
level since salary and offer informa­tion
first became available in 1961. Of­fers
reported by the College Placement
Council were down 61 per cent from the
preceeding year at the bachelor's level,
12 per cent at the master's level, and 78
per cent at the doctoral level."
The report indicated that govern­ment
requirements continued to de­cline
because of money shortage
prohibiting many agencies from hiring
college graduates. Many contractors
were affected by defense orders being
cancelled and electronic and aero­space
industries practically quit
making job offers. Teaching vacancies
also continued to decline from the pre­vious
year as a result of budgetary pro­blems.
Auburn graduates, just like college
graduates all over the country, have
felt the slacking off of demand for their
services upon graduation. During the
1970-71 school year a total of 7,325 stu­dents
were interviewed by 392 com­panies
and government agencies
which came on campus to conduct their
interviews. This was a decrease of 191
companies from the previous year and
77 companies canceled their visits
after the recruiting year began.
Besides the fact that there were few­er
companies interviewing on campus,
those who did interview had more res­tricted
schedules than in the past when
almost anyone wishing an interview
was taken care of.
The figures look even more glum
when compared to the peak years'
statistics. "During the peak years a
half a dozen jobs were offered per per­son,"
said Farley.
The placement report indicated that
although Auburn graduates faced a
very discouraging employment mar­ket,
they "cooperated and tried harder
to sell themselves to the business re­cruiters"
with some students accept­ing
employment in areas they had
never considered before.
The report said, "This year brought
frustration to many who were entering
an environment very different from
what they had been led to expect. An
air of pessimism was detectable in
many company representatives and a
few openly admitted they were on cam-

John Galbraith criticizes
Nixon's Vietnamization policy
By Alice Murray
Plainsman News Editor
"American foreign policy
will be declared by his­torians
as the prime disaster
area of the 1960's," eco­nomist
John Kenneth Gal­braith
said in Auburn last
week.
Galbraith called Nixon's
Vietnamization policy an
enormous fraud which will be
exposed once the Americans
are withdrawn.
The President's greatest
economic error has been
military expenditures, Gal­braith
went on to say. . "Be­cause
the military received
everything they asked for in
previous years, it has
developed enormous habits
of extravagance." The mis­takes
in foreign policy have
been made mostly in the
underdeveloped nations, Gal­braith
said. "There we
developed a 'Marshall plan
syndrome,' but it didn't work
there as it had in Europe be­cause
of the administrative
and technological vacuum in
the underdeveloped coun­tries."
Galbraith also criticized
the inefficiency and self-per­petuating
nature of overseas
bureaucracy. "An overseas
bureaucracy tends to de­velop
a world of its own in
which few people, even in
Washington, know what is
happening." A bureaucracy
answers to its own needs,
Galbraith said, rather than
the needs of the country. Be­cause
of this, the momentum
continues after all rational
purpose has dissolved. The
best example of this is in Viet­nam,
Galbraith said.
As one answer to the pro­blems
in the underdeveloped
nations Galbraith suggested
that we learn from the lesson
of the past 10 years and at­tempt
to assist the eco­nomic
development of the
countries and inform them of
what the U.S. is like, but not
to wage an all out pro­paganda
war against Com­munism.
In a news conference prior
to the speech, Galbraith cal­led
Nixon "pretty vulner­able"
and said that the
management of the economy
over the past two or three
years has hardly been a suc­cess.
"There is no doubt that
the economic record of the
Nixon administration has
been a very dismal one. We've
had high and increasing un­employment
for most of the
time; we've had high and
increasing prices, and enor­mous
increase in our balance
of payments deficit, and a
general shift of income from
the poor to the well-to do and
the rich. Anybody who piles
up a record of that sort can­not
take any great credit for
good economic manage­ment,"
he said.
Galbraith praised the with­drawal
from Vietnam but
said, "Unfortunately for the
President, the bombing and
increasing of tension in Viet­nam
has completely under­mined
that reputation that he
had achieved.
"I think people were very
tired of the cold war and of
the Vietnam war, and I think
up until these last few weeks
he has gotten a great deal of
credit for the easing of ten­sion
with China and through
his prospective trip to Rus­sia,
and he deserved it."
Galbraith is a delegate to
the Democratic National
Convention pledged to
McGovern. Concerning his
choice of a Presidential can­didate,
Galbraith said, "I
would rather have someone
who was right on the Viet­nam
War before the fact
rather than right after the
fact.
George Wallace, Galbraith
said, has "struck an im­portant
nerve. He has sensed,
as many of the establish­ment
candidates have not,
how great is the resentment
in this country over the
burden of war and over taxes.
It would be a mistake to as­sume
that all of the Wallace
support came from people
who sympathize with his
position on busing, for exam­ple.
"The present system of
taxation is like a Swiss
cheese; it is so full of holes,
and the holes are all in­habited
by the rich," Gal­braith
said as he called taxes
"one of the major issuesofthe
Presidential campaign. We
need a very thorough going
tax reform. The time has
come when we should have a
tax system in which a dollar
is a dollar. However you are
enriched during the course of
the year, whether it comes
from earned income, capital
gain, state and local bonds or
inheritance, you should pay
the same progressive tax."
President Nixon's price
controls, Galbraith said,
"have seemed to me to be
merely authorizing what­ever
price increases that
would have occurred. Price
control is not a formula for
popularity," the economist
expert said, "but I don't think
the administration has been
nearly stern enough in en­forcing
their policies."
Galbraith has long been a
supporter of an all volunteer
army. He called the present
system "outrageous" and
said that the only reason we
can't afford any other sys­tem
is because we don't want *
to pay taxes for it. "The aged,
and affluent pass the cost of
serving down on the young
and vulnerable," he said.

City fires policemen
The recent dismissals of
two Auburn policemen—Sgt.
Robert Lacey and Lt. Dale
Howard— indicate that the
Auburn police department
maybe undergoing a "shake-up"
that .began this summer
with the short-lived dismis­sal
of Lt. Frank deGraffen-ried
and surfaced again last
March with the promotion of
former Chief Fred Hammock
to a newly-created public re­lations
post.
Sgt. Lacey was suspended
and dismissed from the force
April 21 for "derogatory"
statements supposedly made
by Lacey to junior police offi­cers
about the new police
chief, Thomas Kernen.
Lacey was given 24 hours
to appeal his dismissal to
Auburn City Manager D.
Kent Leichliter, but since he
received the notification of
his dismissal on a Friday,
City Hall was closed during
the time period. Lacey, who
• had been with the depart­ment
six years, received a
letter from Leichliter concur­ring
with Kernen's dismissal
of Lacey.
When questioned on the
matter, Lacey stated, "All of
my rights, both civilandCon-stitutional,
have been denied
me be the city of Auburn."
Police Lt. Dale Howard
was fired April 24 for reasons
yet unexplained.
mosely speaks
The Vietnam Veterans
against the War (VVATW)
are sponsoring a speaking
appearance of Vietnam
, veteran Don Mosely next
Tuesday.
Mosely, a Georgia native
will speak on, "The
Automated Air War In Viet­nam."
The discussion and
showing of slides will take
place in HC 3195 at 2,4 and 6
p.m.
Howard, a 15 year veteran
with the force, remarked that
he was given the opportunity
to appeal his dismissal.
Mayor Jim Haygood and
Leichliter have informed The
Plainsman that the affair is
an internal matter of the city
and refused to comment.
When asked to affirm or deny
the dismissals, Kernen said,
"I have no information on the
matter. What are you trying
to get at anyway?"
Last weekend one of Auburn's so­rorities
went down to Panama Ci­ty
to have a good time. Unfortuante-ly
they decided to leave an unsightly reminder of their visit.

We've invented the small sensible solid
American car all over again.
175 N. Gay Free Parking
When people shop for a sma 11 car, they look for some very si mple
basic values. Dependability. Economy of money and style. Good mileage
and long life.
Those basics are our birthplace. The Model T, the Model A, the
first mass produced station wagon — name a basic idea, and chances are
Ford built it.
Now to Ford Pinto.
Pinto is as simple and solid a small car as there is in the world.
And it's priced lower than the three leading imports,- lower than its major
U.S. competitor. Yet it has every basic modern necessity.
A gutsy little engine that gets the same economical kind of gas
mileage as the little imports.
A solid-as-o-rock four speed transmission. Sports car steering.
A welded steel body with six coats of paint.
Ball-joint front suspension, and a wide stable stance on the road.
Pinto is one small car that doesn't have to fear a superhighway.
And finally: Pinto gives you comfortable interior leg and shoul­der

Auburn Debate Team
closes year successfully
At the Debate and Extra
Events Tournament which
was held at Georgia Southern
College in Statesborough,
April 27-29, the Auburn
Debate Team closed their
year successfully.
Debaters, George Brooks,
1PL, and John McClellan,
1PB, won three trophies at
the last tournament of the
year.
A total of 19 colleges and
universities from the South­east
were entered in the tour­nament.
The debate team placed
second in debating and
second also in won-lost
record.
The freshmen declined to
enter the freshmen debate
category and instead entered
the varsity debating cate­gory.
McClellan was voted best
speaker in the tournament
and Brooks was voted second
best speaker.
McClellan also placed
second out of 26 in news read­ing,
one of the extra events in
the tournament.
Some members of .the
Auburn Debate Club are
planning to attend the
Debate Workshop in Omaha,
Neb. from Aug. 5-12.
Dear Bugle:
''Something strange has hap­pened.
An unusual recording by
a relatively unknown artist has
made it big on Top 40 radio. I am
referring to "American Pie" by
Don McLean.
Now that's not really the
strange part. What is strange is
that many supposedly aware
people have condemned the
record as being top 40 shit!
I object!
I would ask these dilletantes.
some of whom have indignantly
and pedantically complained to a
WZMF morning jockey about his
playing the record, to listen with
awareness and sensitivity to the
whole recording.
Let McLean speak of the day
"Music" died. The "Music" of
another age. An age when it was
so very good and easy not to have
to think too deeply. Yesterday,
when your troubles seemed far
away. Allow McLean to outline
for you as no history teacher ever
has, the events that brought us
where we are today, the demise
of Elvis, the incredible influence
of the Beatles, the assasination of
President Kennedy, the Demo­cratic
convention of 1968, the
passing of Janis Joplin and all
that meant, the inauguration of
President Nixon, and the moon
flights... to mention just a few.
BUGLE AMERICAN Milwaukee, Wis.
After that first big step, listen
to McLean's "American Pic"
album! McLean shows himself to
be not only a wonderful musician
but an intensely beautiful poet.
One cut, "Vincent!" says all
there is to know about the genius
that was Vincent Van Gogh. Mind
you. Don McLean does not write
song lyrics but poetry. McLean's
story'of Van Gogh's struggle with
himself and with an audience'
which was not yet ready to even
tolerate him fills the listener with
rage and pity.
I find very, very little of any
real value in the wide world of
art. Don McLean is an exception.
In the midst of a thousand heroic
attempts, McLean has made it.
Not since Dylan have 1 been so
excited about a poet-musician.
Please listen to him!"

If you think Kodak is just
pretty pictures, you ought to have
your chest examined.
When a chest x-ray shows that you have a potential
killer like TB or cancer, it's not a pretty picture. But it's an
important picture because it can help the doctor detect and
catch the killer in time.
When doctors are out to catch these potential killers,
they want the sharpest, clearest x-ray films they can get. And
that's why people at Kodak spend so many hours creating
new and better x-ray film equipment. Already, the results in­clude
convenience for the patient, economy for the hospital,
an even more useful tool for the radiologist and, most impor­tant,
reduced radiation exposure.
Researching and creating better x-ray films is good
for our business, which is why we went into them in the first
place. But it does our society good, too- which isn't a bad
feeling. After all, our business depends on our society so we
care what happens to it.
More than a business.

John Stanford
McGovern not really a radical
There is probably no individual on
campus this week more tired or frus­trated
or disappointed t h a n outgoing
Student Government Association
Pres. Jimmy Tucker.
When Tucker took office last year,
Auburn's discipline system was be­ing
studied and Tucker had high
hopes of seeing some drastic changes
during his administration.
Another project that the SGA took
on this year was an attempt to ex­pand
the recreational services avail­able
to Auburn students through the
building of new handball and tennis
courts.
Tucker also had hopes of seeing
substantial changes in Auburn's
antiquated women's rules.
These are but a few of the many
areas that have been worked on long
and hard by this year's SGA with no
final results to show for their efforts
so far.
The job is a tiring and a frustrating
one. A year is really a very short
amount of time in which to see
constructive changes in a large and
slow-moving institution like Auburn.
We feel though, that the outgoing
SGA officers have made substantial
contributions to Auburn during the
past year. We hope their feelings of
frustration will not overshadow the
fact that tangible results have been
achieved in many areas. And in
others, the results will become ob­vious
in the months and years to
come.
This year's SGA has revived the
free-university of two years ago in t he
dynamic and popular Extra-cur­ricular
Studies Program (ESP).
Horizons Symposium has once again
had an excellent year bringing a full
slate of well-known and interesting
speakers to the campus.
Discipline revision is in its final
stages and with any luck at all we
should have a new and radically dif­ferent
discipline system by next fall.
Entertainment has once again been
successful bringing such stars as
Stephen Stills, Rod Stewart, The
Beach Boys and Ike and Tina Turner
to campus.
A new summer job placement pro­gram
for students h a s been initiated
and promises to be highly successful.
Also in the area of services to stu­dents,
SGA has set up a Consumer
Relations Board which will probably
be a tremendous help in regulating re­lations
between students and local
merchants in the future.
Legal aid is presently available to
students through a lawyer hired by
the University last summer in re­sponse
to requests from the SGA. In
response to t he demands of black stu­dents
and the insistence of t he SGA, a
black recruiter and counselor is now
employed by the University.
In addition to these concrete re­sults,
this year's SGA h a s also done
an excellent job of keeping up with the
day-to-day activities such as serving
on various University committees
and boards. Student representatives
on such things as the Communica­tions
Board, the University self-study
committees and even the Board of
Trustees have been active and in­fluential.
Certainly there are numerous areas
where the SGA has failed to do the
job. Teacher-course evaluations have
never appeared and if they ever do,
registration is already over.
The idea of a grade appeals board or
academic grievance committee has
never been really pushed and might
never materialize.
Student opinion surveys have not
been handled nearly as well this year
as they were one year ago.
But considering the handicaps
faced by the SGA with its highly
limited powers and short term of of­fice,
we feel t h a t the achievements of
this year's SGA administration have
far outweighed the disappointments.
We feel that the SGA officers who
stepped down last night can look back
proudly at their year with a sense of
accomplishment.
Their efforts have not been wasted.

Our reporters are beginning to get
very frustrated.
Features Editor Bill Wood yester­day
joined the growing club of report­ers
who have been refused admit­tance
to important committee meet­ings
simply because Pres. Harry M.
Philpott doesn't want them there.
When Bill attempted to attend the
meeting yesterday between Pres­ident
Philpott and the Discipline
Revision Study Committee, he was in­formed
by the president's secretary
that no reporters would be permitted
to attend.
President Philpott apparently took
the same stand yesterday t h a t he did
last week when he was meeting with
the Committee on Fraternities to dis­cuss
the issue of mandatory house­mothers.
By taking such a stand, President
Philpott is casting serious doubt on
his own credibility with the student
body. One cannot help but get the im­pression
that he has something to
hide in these meetings if he won't al­low
reporters to attend.
By refusing to admit reporters,
President Philpott is also making it
extremely difficult for The Plains­man
to report on these events. If our
reporters are forced to rely on second­hand
information about what goes on
in such meetings, there is no way for
them to judge the validity of indi­vidual
statements by those who at­tended
the meetings.
President Philpott h a s made it clear
to us t h a t he will be glad to spend time
briefing reporters on his points of
view in these issues. While we have lit­tle
reason to mistrust the president,
we question why he wishes to be so
open when talking to our reporters but
still refuses to allow them to enter
meetings on important campus is­sues.
Our state government h a s laws per­taining
to such policies. Executive or
secret sessions are illegal in all com­mittees,
boards, councils and com­missions
in state government that
concern legislation or finances ex­cept
in cases where the character of
an individual is being discussed.
I t ' s a shame we don't have such
rules here at Auburn. But since this
University is run by one man rather
t h a n by t he democratic system, there
is little chance of such a rule ever go­ing
into effect.
Apparently we are doomed to
abiding by the whims of President
Philpott who doesn't seem to agree
with us on the idea of the student's
right to know.

Those of us who thought we were
picking a long shot a few weeks ago
by supporting George McGovern for
President have been pleasantly
amazed that our idealistic hopes have
actually been coming true.
McGovern is now the clear front-runner
for the Democratic nomina­tion
for President and there has been
a lot of speculation that if nominated,
McGovern might offer real hope to the
Democrats of recovering control of
the White House.
A deeper look at McGovern though,
shows that it is not at all strange for
such a man to be popular among
voters. Indeed, it shows that while he
does have the support of the cam­puses
and of the so-called "eastern in­tellectual
establishment," McGovern
is really not at all anything radical to
the American voter.
First and foremost, McGovern
comes across to the voters as a sincere
and honest candidate. When he an­nounced
his candidacy almost one
and one half years ago, he declared
quite simply that "People no longer
believe what their leaders tell them,"
and he set out to bring people back
into government.
So far, he seems to be doing a good
job. More that half of the people asked
in a recent Harris poll said that
McGovern "has the courage to say
what he thinks, even if it is unpopu­lar."
Secondly, McGovern is a humani­tarian.
He is concerned for the welfare
and the civil rights of the blacks and
the poor and the unemployed. But
A guest editorial
unlike some liberal candidates who
have been rejected by the middle
class, McGovern wants to raise the
standards of living for the lower class
at the expense of the rich—not the
middle class.
He favors tax reforms that would
eliminate the loopholes of the very
rich, such as tax-free foundations, by
setting a minimum tax for each speci­fic
income bracket that could not be
violated. He favored stabilization of
wages and prices a long time before
President Nixon would consider the
idea and then criticized Nixon's dras­tic
economic measures because they
are "loaded in favor of big business
and against the interests of people
who depend on wages for their liveli­hood."
He is in favor of actively recruiting
blacks for federal jobs including
policy-making positions and has in­dicated
that he will fill the first
Supreme Court vacancy during his
term of office with a woman.
While he supports improvement of
education for blacks and for the poor,
McGovern has said that to bring their
education up to the level of the middle
class is not enough. He wants to
improve education for all which
brings him support from almost every
class of citizen.
On the economy, McGovern feels
that our inflationary problems
cannot be separated from our in­volvement
in Vietnam which he feels
is the principal source of inflation.
He advocates immediate with­drawal
from Vietnam and an imme­diate
cut of $32 billion from military
spending. This money, McGovern
says, can be put to use in our own eco-mony
to stimulate jobs and to up­grade
welfare and social security.
McGovern might be called a radi­cal
in one way. He wants to radically
reverse the trend in recent years
toward taking government away
from the people.
He has somehow been able to forge
that elusive, almost impossible al­liance
between groups like students,
laborers, blacks, poor and Yale pro­fessors.
McGovern is no longer a long shot.
He has a better chance than anyone
else at the moment of winning the
Democratic nomination for the Presi­dency.
And of the major contenders
for the nomination, he is perhaps the
only one who can gather up the
popular support to defeat President
Nixon.
SCHOOL l a v
We're in a mess
By J im Lockwood, Pastor
Alexander City Baptist
Tabernacle
In 1937 Hollywood shocked the
world when in "Gone With The
Wind," Clark Gable used the words
"hell" and "damn." It was about that
same time that Norman Thomas, the
perennial candidate for President on
the Socialist ticket, was advocating
Social Security, medical care for the
aged, and federal aid to education.
And we all called him a Communist
for advocating such socialistic
programs. If there was ever a country
in a mess today, it is ours. The facts
speak for themselves. > .
We are in a mess militarily. We in­volved
ourselves in a war in South­east
Asia that we refuse to win. For
the first time in history a nation
refuses to use its full arsenal of
weapons in a war and just allows its
young men to shed their blood week
after week with no intention of
winning what we started out to do.
And while 50,000 boys pay the su­preme
sacrifice in Vietnam, Senator
Edward Kennedy is holding Senate
committee hearings to see if we ought
to give amnesty to the draft dodgers
and deserters.
And while our fathers and sons get
shot up on the front lines, we can't get
our local school administration to
lead our children in the pledge of alle­giance
to our great flag except at an
occasional assembly program. Is it
any wonder our younger generation is
showing a lack of respect for our flag
and country?
We are in a mess legislatively when
we see men like New York Sen. Jacob
Javits say he is going to introduce a
bill this year to legalize marijuana
consumption. But why should that
shock us? Many states already have
laws legalizing sodomy and homo­sexual
acts between consenting
adults.
Two Sunday nights ago from a
Montgomery television studio a man
was interviewed for thirty minutes
telling young and old alike all about
his gay bar for homosexuals. He said
Montgomery has two gay motels for
these degenerates.
Nevada already has legalized pros­titution.
John Lindsay said New York City
hospitals performed 180,000 abor­tions
last year and are shooting for
250,000 this year.
I have been advised by John Smith,
ALCAP director, that shortly now a
bill will be introduced in the House of
Representatives that will make it
legal to manufacture candy to sell to
children that will have 8Vi per cent al­cohol
content.
We are in a mess judicially. Our
Supreme Court opens its session with
prayer and then takes prayer and
Bible reading out of our schools.
Congress in both Houses opens each
session with prayer but won't let
prayer come back into our schools.
And while they outlaw prayer and
Bible reading in our public schools,
they legalize the Communist Party in
the United States.
Oh how excited we were a few years
ago when Cuba went communistic
just 90 miles of our shores; but right
here, ten years later, the Communist
Party has 6,000 signatures in hand in
order to get a spot on the ballot here in
Alabama and nobody gets excited.
A man can beat up an old lady on
the street and be out on bond before
they get her to the hospital. He won't
serve time because someone will
forget to tell him of his rights.
Last week in our own city a young
man was on trial for selling drugs to a
youngster but agreed to plead guilty
to a lesser charge of possessing drugs
and got off scott-free on probation. Is
it any wonder crime is increasing 17
times faster than the population? If
the criminal does not get out of it
through some loophole made avail­able
by our Supreme Court, the judge
will often give the defendant another
chance.
We are in a mess educationally in
our country. Genevieve Pointer, a
Chicago educator, stated, "We should
begin supervised sex activities at the
nursery school level."
At the last Senior Class Day as­sembly
program the local high school
was entertained by a rock band by the
name of "The Soul Corrupters." The

By Dr. Don E. Hayhurst
Professor, Political Science
Super comic Johnny Carson re­cently
quipped that Senator Edmund
Muskie closely resembles Abraham
Lincoln, and Abe Lincoln has been
dead for 100 years! In this spring of
unseasonal weather and seasonal
politics, figuratively speaking, it is
unusually difficult for expert and lay­man
alike to distinguish the live
politicians from those who are dead.
At one moment, fate will appear to
have decreed that the first shall be
last and last shall be first, only to re­verse
itself in the next state primary.
And candidate contribution to pollu­tion
of sight and sound, and some­times
smell, rolls onward at a pace
which exceeds even inflation. It is the
era of disarray!
Little wonder, then, Toffler's future
shock is already upon us. The ac­celerating
change is societies control­led
by science and technology and the
rising and erupting expectations in
underdeveloped areas of the world are
all but dwarfed by the clamor to be­come
President. Bombardment has
produced public shock.
Everywhere, attention is in
constant demand. In order to present
our astronauts' most recent walk on
the moon, it was necessary for T.V. to
disrupt the halftime ceremonies of an
NBA playoff! Just about the only cer­tainty
one can count on this season is
Congress' foremost concern to make
this world safe for reelection.
True, minority Republicans have
troubles enough, but the Democrats
face dissolution. While each party has
at least a smattering of support from
every group, class or strata in the
United States, the once powerful
coalition of Democrats fashioned by
FDR's New Deal is no more. Blue col­lar
workers, blacks and white South­erners
have wrecked upon the issue of
race. Traditional economic appeals
can no longer overshadow this di­visive
issue and leadership which
might reconcile these groups has
failed to emerge. The opportunity, per­haps
once present, for political
integration no longer exists. The Wal­lace
vote in 1968, strongest in words
bordering on words which were black,
symbolizes dissolution of the old
coalition.
The President's strategy is
reasonably clear: speak of together­ness
while pursuing division.
Continuing dissolution of the major­ity
Democratic coalition is essential
to his electoral success. In his effort,
it would appear his greatest asset is
his opposition. They are their own
worst enemies. Once reelected, should
that be his fate, the President may
proceed to solidify a coalition of his
own and pursue the togetherness
which has been promised.
Meanwhile, political uncertainty
grows, fired by each new state
primary. In addition to the President
who gains most from Democratic pri­maries,
the next winners are those
hopefuls who do not enter. While vic­tors
in Presidential primaries have
seldom been nominated, the fates of
contestants this year appear even
worse. Of greater peril for the Demo­cratic
Party, however, is the lack of
any indication whatsoever that any
contestant has the capacity to unite
divided elements of the party and re­establish
a semblance of the coalition
of old. Hapless Hubert Humphrey,
whose native brilliance seems ex­pended,
and humorless George
McGovern, who resembles nothing so
much as a Polident ad, are part-time
idols of divergent elements of their
party. Indeed, the party is seriously
split between "traditional" Demo­crats
of Humphrey and Muskie and
the "revolutionist" Democrats of
McGovern and Wallace who sym­bolize
protest from both left and right.
Should these four hopefuls weather
the primaries and make it as far as
Miami, the inevitable collision would
pale Chicago by comparison. In that
event, Ted Kennedy who launched his
non-campaign campaign many
months ago will be waiting. Delegates
would be faced with the stark admis­sion
that costly primaries were a bad
joke and a facade. And this might be
too much for tattered remnants of the
shakey coalition to endure.
Nevertheless, it's a long, long way
from May to Miami, and this period
can be as tricky as price and wage
controls. And Miami to November
can seem an eternity to inflation wat­chers,
anti-war groups and party
nominees. While Vietnam is unlikely
to decide the Presidency a second
time, economic discontent and depth
of the tax revolt are much less predic­table.
Should governing public anti­pathy
for taxes foster widespread
understanding of how heavily the tax
system favors the haves against the
have note, election 1972 would be­come
wholly unpredictable. While
some writers refer to "iceberg" issues
because only the points show, the is­sue
of taxes may become a real
glacier. Should this develop, Con­gress
might be expected to enact at
: least token tax reform, along with the
customary social security benefits in­crease,
prior to November.
Meanwhile, weather and politics
will become predictably warmer, and
others will have to divide their time
between baseball, "All In The
Family," and ubiquitous politics.
Who's on first? It's probably too early
in the season to know!
precious soul that is made in the
image and likeness of God. There isn't
a church in Alabama that would have
such a band play rock music on its
property. Why then must we have
such goings on in our educational in­stitutions?
Many high school bands play
music from the rock opera, "Jesus
Christ, Superstar." This opera and its
music blasphemes God, but who
cares?
While school officials deny there is
drinking at their school dances, just
ask some of the kids. Who doesfo'jt
know that drinking is a prom night
activity as well as at most other high
school dances? Youngsters caught
drinking at these activities may get a
three-day suspension from school.
The kids got a petition up the other
day for longer hair. Guess who g aw
in? I'll give you a hint. It wasn't the
kids. You can be sure it won't be the
last petition either. I tell you we are in
a mess.
We are in a mess morally in our
country. The Supreme Court is vague
on pornography, so anything goes.
You can go into a movie theater in Bir­mingham
and see on the screen men
and women having sexual inter­course
with all the private parts in full
view. You may go to an adult book
store and buy the same.
Our federal government released a
statement last month that said there
are 9,000,000 known alcoholics in
America and 2,500,000 problem
drinkers. Cigarettes take seven to ten
years off the average life. Now do you
think we can get our legislators to
outlaw these? Not a chance. So-called
Christian America long ago sold out
to the devil.
You think not? Well, look at the
mess we are in spiritually. It is no
longer the Methodists, Presbyterians
and Episcopalians that have gone a-whoring
after other gods. The
Southern Baptists are right behind
them. Ten million Southern Baptists
see nothing wrong in paying salaries
to men like Dr. William E. Hull, dean
of theology at Southern Seminary,
and thousands more like him that
teach the Bible is not the infallible
word of God.
The new Southern Baptist Broad-man
Commentary soon to be com­pleted
has been written by a dozen dif­ferent
writers, but not one writer of
this commentary believes the Bible to
be the inerrant word of God.
Southern Baptist Richmond Uni­versity
recently voted to allow
students to drink their booze in the
dormitories. But who cares? I tell you
we are in a mess.
We have come a long way since Hol­lywood
shocked the world in 1937 by
using the words "hell" and "damn" in
a motion picture. The world has
changed a lot, but I'll tell you one
thing, God has not changed. His holy
laws are still the same as they were
when He gave them to Moses.
A holy God must punish sin. A just
God cannot show mercy to tbesinner
except through Jesus Christ.
"The time has come that judge­ment
must begin at the house of God
and if it first begin with us what sball
the end be of them that obey not the
gospel of God? And if the righteous
scarcely be saved where shall the un­godly
and sinners appear?" (I Peter
5:17-18).
"Be not deceived, God is not mocked.
Whatsoever a nation soweth that
shall it also reap." (Galatians 5:7).
Yes, we have come a long way. All
we can do now is each seek God in our
own way as we wait the judgement.

Booklets ready in 2 weeks Continued from page ?
Job placement
By Amelia Bolton
Plainsman Staff Writer
Teacher-Course Evaluation book­lets
were not ready in time for the pre-registration
for fall quarter, but should
be ready within two weeks, Bruce Gilli-land,
Student Government Associa­tion
secretary of Academic Affairs,
said.
Work began on the booklets during
fall quarter and plans were for them to
be distributed before the middle of this
Horizons fo present films
Experimental films by John Lennon
and Yoko Ono will be presented May 8
and 9 at HC 2370 at 7 and 9 p.m. for an
admission charge of $1.
John and Yoko are more than musi­cians.
They have recently entered the
world of film producing and a collec­tion
of their work is a part of this quar­ter's
Horizons Symposium presenta­tions.
According to the Movie Journal by
John Mekas in the "Village Voice"
they are "neither fiction, nor documen­taries,
nor poems. They are film ob­jects,
film things. Their enjoyment will
depend on a number of unpredictable
reasons and circumstances."
Here are brief summaries of some of
the films:
"Rape II" is a 40 minute film where
the cameramen follow a German girl
on her visit to London. She doesn't
speak English. They don't answer any
of her questions, they don't talk to her,
they follow close to her heels through
the streets, and into her room. The girl
was chosen by chance, in the street and
never told what was going on. They
swindled the key to her apartment. .
!her sister and. . .so it goes, a perfect
camera rape. . . The girl gradually
becoming more and more frantic about
the unclear situation.
"Fly" is a 20 minute film showing a
fly crawling or sitting on a nude female
body. As the film goes, with Yoko Ono's
singing and John Lennon's guitar, it
gradually becomes a film opera. To­ward
the end of the film more flies join
in the crawling trip and the film begins
to take a grim foreboding aspect.
"Apotheosis" begins with a close-up
of John and Yoko, but then it im­mediately
opens on an air view of a
small medieval-looking old village. The
camera (in a balloon) slowly floats up,
we hear the sounds of the village dogs
barking, voices (actually recorded from
the balloon).
"Erection" is a 20 minute film con­ceived
by John Lennon and photo­graphed
by Iain MacMillan. Produced
over an 18-month period it is essential­ly
a "stills film" of the slow changes as
a hotel is built and it follows through
the entire construction process. Each
frame was individually shot and the
transparency then transferred to the
movie film.
Coed dies Friday
from gun wound
Connie Jean Mayfield, 4HPR, died
early Friday morning outside the resi­dence
of Bob Fucci at 373 Singleton
Street in Auburn.
The police report stated that death
was caused by a self-inflicted gun-shot
wound in the right side of the head.
Auburn City Police Chief Thomas
Kernen said, "We received a call at 1:38
a.m. Friday reporting Ms. Mayfield's
death."
Police found the girl wearing a full-length
yellow dress, lying near the
den window of Fucci's house.
A note believed written by the girl
was found beside the body along with a
22 caliber Luger automatic pistol,
which police said belonged to Fucci.
Police have not disclosed the contents
of the note.
Police have released the body to the
Alabama state toxicologist to investi­gate
the possibility of foul play.
Ms. Mayfield, 23, a resident of Dorm
H, was the daughter of Paul E. May-field
of Birmingham.
Fucci is the owner of Fucci's Steer
and Stein in Auburn.

who had done the computer program­ming
in the past graduated fall and did
not leave enough information to com­plete

had to start from scratch."
Gilliland blames no one for the late­ness

that they "do a serious re-evaluation
before next year."
The booklets will be available to stu­dents

WEGL off ail-due
to problem
Because of transmitter difficulties,
radio station WEGL was forced off the
air Tuesday.
"The main trouble was a coil burn­ing
out in the oscillator," said Paul El­len,
news director at the station.
"The delay in getting back on the air
occurred because the parts had to be
ordered from a plant in New Jersey," he
added.
Because of the trouble last week the
"Insights" program scheduled for
Tuesday night, which was to feature
student phone in questions for Pres.
Harry M. Philpott, was postponed and
has been rescheduled for broadcast on
May 15.
This Monday at 9 p.m. "Insights"

Campus Crusade
sponsors ballgame
to finance Dallas trip
Campus Crusade for Christ is spon­soring
a basketball game that could
last 60 hours—the "Explo '72 Basket­ball
Marathon." Beginning noon May

in the Sports Arena.
Funds from the game will be used for
scholarships to help finance students
to travel to Dallas for this summer's
"Explo '72." Three hundred Auburn
students are expected to join 100,000
Christians who will receive evangelis­tic
training during the week-long semi­nar.
Rev. Billy Graham and Bill Bright,
the founder of the Crusade, top the list
of more than 130 noted Christian
scholars who will be addressing mass
meetings in the Cotton Bowl each even­ing.
Scholarship money will be raised
through tax-deductible contributions
solicited by Christian students at the
game and on campus this week. The
contributions will be in the form of
pledges of money for each hour the bas­ketball
game lasts.
pus to keep the company name before
the students."
Individual placement by schools
went as follows:
Agriculture—Agricultural firms
were little affected by the economic
situation with employment op­portunities
for graduates at all degree
levels remaining good.
Architecture and the Fine
Arts—Few architecture graduates
utilize the placement service's assis­tance
since most of them accept jobs
with companies which employed them
as students.
Arts and Sciences—Recruiting for
science majors was slow but some pick­up
was noted late in the season. While
sales job offers were open to liberal arts
majors, management and administra­tive
training programs were cut back.
Business—There was a lack of de­mand
in the field of accounting, but
sales jobs remained open for business
and marketing majors although most
of the jobs offered involved travel.
Engineering—Most graduates
were offered jobs, but not always with
the industry or in the area of their
choice.
Pharmacy—No pharmacy grad­uates
requested assistance of the place­ment
service since most of them make
job committments long before grad­uation.
Letter fo the editor
Home Economics—Retailing op­portunities
remained good, but there
were few requests in the field of home
management and home demonstra­tion.
There were several openings
noted in the field of food preparation
and service.
Veterinary Medicine—Most of
these graduates went into private prac­tice
although there were other opportu­nities
available.
Education—Though placement of
teachers is not handled through the
University placement service, teach­ing
vacancies were reported to have
declined.
Handball courts
"Auburn is most pressed for recrea­tional
facilities during winter quarter
and other times when bad weather
rules out outdoor activities," he added.
Taylor Boyd, a member of the com­mittee,
said that Auburn would have a
"large gap" without another winter
facility.
The new courts could be used for
various intramurals and physical
education classes.
Entertainment out of students' hands
Editor, The Plainsman:
As entertainment director of the Stu­dent
Government Association, I have
watched the popular entertainment
program at Auburn be taken almost
completely out of the hands of the stu­dents
and taken control of by the Coli­seum
management, with the Social
Life Committee as its rubber stamp.
This situation is not very disconcert­ing
at first glance, but a deeper look re­veals
a lack of any student body direc­tion
or coordination, which in fact
should be the very basis on which
entertainment is built. We, the stu­dents,
are the financial support of these
concerts. We are being closed off from
the Coliseum management because of
no provided office space and because of
this, we have primarily lost the direct
choice of groups that appear at Au­burn.
Having paid for Coliseum manage­ment
office equipment, we asked for of­fice
space and were told "I don't want
anybody in the Coliseum because
they'll only be in my hair." The Colise­um
management handles all decisions
of when and where tickts are sold with
no voice from the students. We are gi­ven
no choice in complimentary tickets
to concerts or in permitting other uni­versities',
student leaders free admis­sion
to our concerts when they have
done the same for us. The Coliseum
management is concerned with
various other activities, primarily
athletics, which prevents our being
able to contact them when the need
arises concerning entertainment. The
security system of the concerts has no
student government control and has, at
times, favored athletic organizations
over service organizations in their
employment.
In my opinion, the students of Au­burn
should have a solid voice in
deciding all policy procedures such as
when and where tickets should be put
on sale, the exact groups that should
appear, and, in essence, the overall
direction of our own entertainment.
The University of Alabama entertain­ment
direction is handled solely by stu­dents
with little faculty supervision
and they seem to be able to handle their
entertainment quite well.
At the present, there is no need for a
student entertainment director at Au­burn
because of the lack of the student
voice. Even in the Social Life Commit­tee
in which we have a student major­ity
but not control, our proposals are
passed off as being irrelevant concern­ing
entertainment programming.
•'• * Uritil-We are recognized as the vital
element upon which these concerts are
built, it is my opinion that we, as stu­dents,
should assert our voice in any
manner necessary. I would even in­clude
in these steps boycotting the A-Day
concert, in which we students had
very little if no voice at all.
Entertainment is for the students,
let's keep it that way.

Rugby forerunner of football
By Peter Zurales
Plainsman Staff Writer
v Rugby, one of the non-var­sity
sports at Auburn, is a
forerunner of American foot­ball
and, according to some
sports writers, is a much
"tougher" sport.
Although similar to foot­ball
(it includes running,
tackling and kicking) rugby,
in contrast, uses no forward
passes, blocking or protec­tive
equipment.
The Auburn Rugby Club
has posted a 2-2 record so far
this quarter. In the past three
contests, the team has out-scored
its opponents 94-21, in­cluding
shutouts against Bir­mingham
(33-0) and Hunts-ville
(46-0).
This year's team is led by
captain Wayne Wolfe, 2LPO,
co-captain Greg Muro, 2INM,
finance and equipment
manager, Art Dyas, 3FS, and
Steve Ehinger, 2LE, who
schedules the games. Dr.
Shires, a doctor of veterinary
medicine, coaches the team.
Home games are played on
the fields across from War
Eagle's cage. The field, how­ever,
is uneven and patched
with gravel and has caused
"problems."
Muro charged that "the
field is the worst we have had
to play on in two years and it
accounts for most of the
team's injuries. Because
Buildings and Grounds
allows football fans to park
on the field,it should be their
responsibility to repair any
damage, since both the rugby
and soccer teams use the
field."
Muro also stated that the
Auburn team receives the
smallest amount of financial
aid among Southeastern
clubs. Over the past two
years the University has
alotted $132 to ruebv.
The team, however, has
spent over $1,000 during the
last two years, the remain­ing
money coming from the
players. The money is used
for jerseys, equipment and
transportation.
Education commission approves
sociology master's program
A master's degree pro­gram
in sociology at Auburn
has been approved by the
Alabama Commission on
Higher Education.
Enrollment will be limited
to 10, according to Dr. Griess-man,
and applications are
now being accepted by the
Graduate School for the
summer quartet. S
Students may elect to pur­sue
the Master of Arts or
Master of Science degrees in
sociology or the Master of
Arts in college teaching.
"We have formally agreed
to emphasize applied areas of
study in this program, rather
than social theory or
methodology," Dr. Griess-man
said. Students may cen­ter
their interests in a num­ber
of areas, such as regional
development, planned
change, programs of interna­tional
development, race rela­tions,
rural sociology, voca­tional
and occupational
education or correction and
criminology. "Programs in
ecology and environment are
also being considered," Dr.
Griessman added.
Graduate-level courses in
sociology have been offered
at Auburn in the past, but
have been provided pri­marily
as a service to such
areas of study as home
economics and education.
Dr. Griessman feels that
there is a great need for per­sons
specialized in all areas
of sociology and expects ap­plicants
for the master's pro­gram
from various areas of
undergraduate fields, as well
as sociology majors.
By Carl Poteat
Plainsman Staff Writer
How many students have
felt that they have received
an unfair grade at least once
during their college career?
How many of these have de­sired
to appeal such an "in­justice?"
Apparently, many
students would like to be able
to do something about unfair
grades and other classroom
grievances. According to the
results of an SGA Student
Opinion Survey, 408 out of
427 students indicated that
they would favor the estab­lishment
of a grade appeals
board (GAB) on campus. A
majority of the faculty, 53 per
cent, have also expressed a
desire for such a board.
The student and faculty
surveys were part of the data
used by the Academics Affair
Committee (AAC) in draw­ing
up a report on the possi­bility
of establishing a grade
appeals board at Auburn.
Within the AAC report,
which is soon to be sub­mitted
to Pres. Harry M. Phil-pott,
is a recommendation ad­vocating
the adoption of a
Student Grievance Code. The
code outlines'the structure of
Auburn's pro-posed GAB. It
is actually a copy of San
Diego State's grievance code
with certain revisions made
by the AAC. The San Diego
State model was suggested to
the AAC by James Foy, dean
of Student Affairs.
Auburn s proposed GAB
(which would be called the
Student Grievance Commit­tee)
would have nine voting
members, four students,
three faculty members and
two administrators.
Six voting members would
constitute a quorum. A
chairman would vote only in
case of a tie.
In commenting on the pro­posed
GAB, Bruce Gilliland,
chairman of the AAC, said
the purpose of the board
"would not only be to hear
disputes regarding grades
but other grievances as well."
He listed areas of student
grievances, some of which
are:
Errors in calculations on
quizzes or other grades;
Consistently lower class
averages in comparison with
other sections of the same
course taught by other in­structors;
Failure to follow Univer­sity
policies in the conduc­ting
of classes or examina­tions;
Failure to recognize pro­perly
authorized excuses for
absence.
Gilliland said that a
student would have to prove a
bad grade was given as a
result of some "unjust"
action of the professor. He
said a professor would also be
albe to appear in front ot the
board to protest the actions of
another professor "who may
have a slack policy on grades,
Dean refutes rumor about teacher
Ms. Kay Mims, former in­structor
in basic design and
art courses in the School of
Architecture and the Fine
Arts, has found herself the
subject .of a lengthy petition
and false rumors. It is
rumored that Ms. Mims has
been mysteriously fired from
her teaching position and a
petition, bearing some 200
names, has been submitted
calling for her reinstate­ment.
Ms. Mims was hired on a
one-year temporary basis
with no obligation on the part
of the administration to re­new
her contract or to inform
her of the reasons behind her
lack of reappointment.
Dean McPheeter of the
Architecture and the Fine
Arts Department explained
that Ms. Mims was hired on
"a temporary basis to fill tem­porary
needs." He com­mented
that "long term plans
often turn out to be different
than previously expected:
this is the case with Ms.
Mims."
Dean McPheeter said that
he applauded the students'
interest as well as their ef­forts
to let the administra­tion
know how they feel. He.
added that he is sure that the
students have operated under
the best of motives and he is
sorry that the situation has
been exaggerated because of
misunderstandings.
Ms. Mims services were'
deeply appreciated by the
department, he said.
etc."
The present system of ap­pealing
grades is to follow the
available administrative
hierarchy: appeal first to the
professor; appeal to the head
of the department, appeal to
the dean of the school; and
appeal to the dean of under­graduate
studies.
Gilliland cited several
"faults" of this system.
"Generally a student is at a
disadvantage in a one-to-one
confrontation with the in­structor.
It is difficult to tell
an instructor he has been
unjust even if the student has
sufficient evidence."
About appealing to a de-partment
head or dean, Gilli­land
said, "Often the profes­sor
is a personal friend of his
administrative superiors
which would result in a
biased decision." Gilliland
also commented, "Support of
a student's complaint might
be seen as an admission that
the department head or dean
was not maintaining accep­table
academic standards."
Gilliland stressed that
"One of the main concepts of
the grievance system is to try
to solve the problems at the
lower level and I am sure
that many of the problems
could best be handled within
the school."

Poll indicates most students wish to remain in U. S.
By David Bradford
Plainsman Staff Writer
According to The New
York Times, a poll conducted
for the John D. Rockerfeller
III Fund (JDR poll) revealed
that 30 per cent of collegians
say that they would rather
live in some country other
tnan the United States. In an
informal symposium at Au­burn
22 per cent of 138 stu­dents
said they would, if the
means were available, leave
the U.S.
Of the 138 questioned in
Auburn about two-thirdswere
polled in a classroom situa­tion.
The others were ap­proached
individually.
The large majority of stu­dents,
107, said they would
not leave the United States.
"The United States has its.
problems and faults," said a
21 year old ore-law student ,
"but I just don't think any
other country offers the free­doms
that we enjoy."
According to the JDR poll,
conducted by Daniej
Yankelovich Incorporated,
Canada or Western Europe
reflects an increasing belief
among students that Amer­ican
society is 'a sick society.
Among the Auburn stu­dents
who expressed a
desire to leave the U.S.,
however, the large per­centage
did not wish to
leave to escape American
society. The most predo­minant
motive was a
desire for privacy, and es­cape
from over-crowding
and pollution.
"I would like to live in a
cleaner, freer environment
than the U.S. can offer," saick
a 22 year old education
major, "somewhere I can
walk barefooted without step­ping
on broken glass."
A coed, a senior majoring
in Spanish, said "I have
traveled Western Europe,
and I certainly wouldn't
want to live there. I found
myself continually having to
defend the U.S. to members of
a society that was much
worse than ours."
"I feel all our problems can
and will be solved. There is
just no place better," said a 21
year old engineering stu­dent.
As one coed, a junior in
English said, "I don't feel like
I can do anything. Nobody
can. It has all gone too far to
stop." The American bureau­cracy,
she feels, has alienated
the citizen.
Of the 31 students who said
they would leave the U.S.
most indicated Canada
would be their choice for a
new homeland
Dr. Jan Vanlandingham of
the Auburn Sociology
Department was surprised
that privacy was the most
common motive. "But, after
all," she commented, "Au­burn
University students are
basically a very
homogenious group. Most
come from affluent families
where they have enjoyed a
certain amount of privacy,
and the college community
limits that privacy." Man's
need for territory is limited by
the relatively crowded and
public life college imposes.
"Many young people do not
want to function in a highly
bureaucratized society," said
Dr. Vanlandingham. "Un­fortunately,
they will find the
same system in all coun­tries."
If a national poll has
shown that 30 per cent of col­lege
students would prefer to
leave the U.S. for another
country, why don't they? The
college community consits
mainly of the relatively af­fluent,
and , according to an
article by Richard Flacks in
"The New American Revolu­tion,"
the "most actively dis­affected
youth" are, in his
words, from "over­whelmingly
affluent back-grounds-
particularly from
professional rather than
managerial families."
Why, then, have we seen no
mass emmigration of youth
from the U.S.?
Dr. Vanlandingham
replied, "Many youth, and
Americans in general,do not
have the ability to make deci­sions.
We suffer from what
has been termed 'decision
phobia.' "
What is decision phobia? It
is the fear and inability to
make a decision and carry it
through. "That is why," she
added, "it is so hard for many
students to decide on a
major." In our highly-specialized
world the effects
of a wrong decision can be
dire.
The question is admittedly
highly hypothetical. There is
a great distance between the
answer and the act. In most
cases the decision is easily
revokable! A simple letter to
home and the wanderer has
the funds to return.
"Many youth want to leave
the U.S. to escape the highly
competitive environment.
What are your chances of in­venting
something truly
earth-shaking?" Dr. Van­landingham
went on to say.
"There is more chance for
success elsewhere. Many try
to escape the success ethic al­together."
The JDR poll said, "Only a
handful (of students) believe
our national policies will lead
to peace or economic well-be-ing.'
The majority of Auburn
students, however, were
optimistic about the future of
the U.S. Most felt that Amer­ica's
problems were by no
means insolvable.
NRA forms chapter
on Auburn campus
The National Rehabilita­tion
Association has recent­ly
formed a chapter at Au­burn.
It is one of five student
chapters on university cam­puses
across the country.
"The general purpose of the
organization is to further the
understanding of and
involvement in rehabilita­tion
of handicapped per­sons,"
Bill Summer, pres­ident
of the graduate divi­sion
of the organization, said.
"The club hopes to offer
programs and speakers
emphasizing important
facets of rehabilitation pro­grams
to remedy any pro­blems
faced by students at
Auburn who are handicap­ped
and to support legisla­tion
providing improve­ments
in rehabilitation,"
Summer said.
Numbering about 25, the
membership consists mostly
of graduate students in re­habilitation
counseling.
In addition to the graduate
student club, there is also a
club for undergraduates, the
Auburn Rehabilitation Club.
An informal affiliation exists
between the two new chap­ters.
Don Parsons, 4VED, is
president of the undergrad­uate
club.
Anyone wishing further
information should contact
the Counselor Education Of­fice
at 826-5160.

Arts fair to be held
The first Village Arts and
Crafts Fair will be held at
Auburn's Gentry Village
Mall Saturday, May 27, from
9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
All artists and craftsmen of
any media from surrounding
areas are eligible to enter
their works for display, sale
and competition. The regis­tration
fee is $2 per person re­gardless
of the number of
entries. An area six feet
square will be provided for
each person entering, with
every contestant responsible
for setting up his own dis­play
props.
"Auburn needs its own a r t
association because of the
many talented artists and
craftsmen here," said a
spokesman for the fair. The
Arts and Crafts Fair is con­sidered
the first step in at­taining
an organization in
support of t he a r t s.
Those interested in form­ing
an Auburn arts associa­tion
should call Tom Immler,
Villager Frame Shop, 821-
8174. To register for the fair,
call Mrs. Carl Funderburk.
Recreation Committee to feature
billiard trick shot artist
Monday in Union Ballroom
On Monday Jack White,
billiard trick shot artist, will
be presented at 3 and 8 p.m. in
the Union Ballroom by the
Recreation Committee of t he
Auburn Union.
White's performance
usually begins with an invi­tation
to t he audience to chal­lenge
him in a game of*eight
ball. Claiming 25 years of
practice behind some tricks,
the pool shark is able to sink
six balls with one shot and
bank the cue ball off eight
rails before it knocks an­other
ball into the corner
pocket.
An entertainer as well as a
billiard exhibitionist, White
astounds the audience with
facts about pool from
"Ripley's Believe It or Not."
For example: " . . . a lady can
easily take a full inch and a
half off her waist line if she
played pool five days a week
for two hours a shot, for two
months."
White's purpose is to intro­duce
t he art and science of bil­liards
to the nation. He
proves that a pool hall is not
just "a place where a man
hides from his wife, and the
spot a truant officer checks
first on his daily rounds."
There is no admission
charge.

"He don't mind
hitting folks"
When James Owens came to Auburn little did he he realize
that by the time his senior year rolled around, he would have
played no less than five different positions.
Owens was one of the most sought after running backs in
the state following his senior season at Fairfield High
School in Birmingham. Tiger grid enthusiasts looked for­ward
to the day when Owens would rip through opposing
linemen with an authority not witnessed on the plains since
the days of Jimmy Sidle and Tucker Fredrickson
His freshman year gave advance notice that he would not
disappoint anyone. But an overabundance of running backs
and a lack of depth in the secondary saw James switched to
cornerback his sophomore year.
And that was only the beginning. His junior season might
have caused a few problems even for the likes of Jim Thorpe.
Owens started the year at tailback but also saw duty at tight
end, split end and linebacker.
This spring Owens was informed by Tiger coaches he
would be a fullback and he might as well give up anv ideas
about he had about crashing through the defense. With the
ball, no. Without the ball, yes.
Pretty tough . . .
The transition to a blocking fullback hasn't been easy.
After all, when you pick up over a thousand yards in high
school and when you spend your first three seasons at al­most
every position except quarterback, you just don't have
time for a whole lot of blocking.
"It's been rough," Owens said frankly. "Going out and
blocking every day on almost every play is pretty tough. But
with time I'll become more accustomed to it. I really haven't
experienced any great problems so far except my neck seems
to stay sore.
"Our linebackers have been giving me a little trouble
though. They're moving all the time, jumping behind the
tackle a lot, and it's sort of hard sometimes to nail 'em."
When Owens takes off and looks for his man he's been as­signed
to block, he doesn't fool around. "When I come at him,
I just try to stick my helmet right in his numbers," he said.
"Of course, knowing the count gives me a jump on the de­fense
and makes my blocking a bit easier."
With James being the fullback in the Tigers Wing-I forma­tion,
he won't be carrying the ball but four or five times a
game. There probably doesn't exist such a thing as a selfish
fullback and Owens certainly isn't.
T" I ' v e just got to have the attitude that I'm going to block
every play and then do it," he said. "Blocking is my job and
I'm going to be satisfied in doing my job. I just want to play."
Has the took . . .
Offensive backfield coach Claude Saia thinks that Owens
c |n develop into a great blocker. "James has a fantastic at­titude
toward whatever he's doing and he knows his first job
is to block," Saia commented. "But most importantly, James
don't mind hitting folks and 80 per cent of blocking is want­ing
to hit somebody."
Coach Saia has been pleased with Owen's development
this spring. "He's been doing right well and if he continues to
do what he's done the first two weeks of spring he's going to
be a real fine fullback," Saia said. "He's quick and strong
and he has all the tools he needs.
"James has also been showing us some great leadership
this spring and this is mighty important. And in last Satur­day's
scrimmage he showed us he hasn't forgotten how to
run. He carried the ball seven times and graded 100 per cent
on those seven carries. He's graded a winning percentage
every scrimmage this spring."
Of all the various positions that James has been called on
to play, linebacker was the hardest. He was converted into a
linebacker for the Alabama game his sophomore year and he
vividly recalls his experience.
"I felt like I was lost," he smiled. "I didn'thaveany idea of
what to expect. I had to guess what was coming off most of
the time and I reckon I guessed wrong 99 per cent of the time.
Alabama was sending a tackle or end to block me on every
play and they were doing a pretty good of it."
Pride and attitude . . .
Owens believes this spring has been a good one for both
himself and the team. "I've enjoyed this spring more than
any of the others because I realize this is my last one," he
said. "I've had some pretty good days and and some not so
good ones but overall I think I've done pretty well."
Owens feels the team has accomplished a lot and will sur­prise
more than a few people when fall rolls around. "We've
been playing together a lot more this spring than in the past
because we all know Pat and Terry aren't going to be around
to come up with the big play and bail us out," he explained.
"Everybody's really working hard.
"We're going to surprise a lot of people this fall," he con­tinued.
"We'll be the underdog in most of our games and this
will be an added incentive to the team.
"We've got the pride and attitude to win."
And if hitting folks is what it takes to win, then you'd bet­ter
take James Owens' word.

Mitchell's midgets lead defense
By Jim Dailey
Sports Editor
Most people thought they
were too small, They drew a
few laughs at first and they
were dubbed with an
amusing nickname. But as
the season progressed the
jeers stopped. The nickname
has stuck.
David Beck, 5'9',' 170,
DavidLangner,5'9", 168, and
Johnny Simmons, 5'10", 170,
return for their second year
together to once again ter­rorize
opponents.
Better known as Mitchell's
midgets, these three will form
the nucleus of the Tigers de­fense
for the coming season.
Secondary coach Sam Mit­chell
realizes there may have
been some criticism for play­ing
such a small secondary in
a game dominated by big
men, but he feels his crew
have proven themselves.
"A lot of people may
wonder how they could stay
withreceiverswrho were a half-foot
taller and outweighed
them by 50 pounds, but I feel
they have done a good job,"
Mitchell said.
"They have to rely on speed
and quickness to get the job
done," he continued. "In fact,
all can touch the crossbars."
Beck has been bothered by
a sore shoulder thus far and
has been limited somewhat
while freshmen backups Rick
Neel and Lee Carpenter are
both injured. Simmons, of
course, is playing baseball
and hasn't seen any grid
action.
However, the absence of
his regulars has given Coach
Mitchell and opportunity to
work with and develop some
younger players, par­ticularly
Roger Mitchell and
Bruce Evans.
Junior Mitchell has been
occupying Simmons safety
slot and has been impres­sive.
Mitchell is best remem­bered
by Tiger fans as the
player ; who blocked the~
crucial extra point in last sea­son's
Georgia contest.
"If some of our younger
deep backs continue to
develop, they could offer
some stiff competition to our
starters," Mitchell explained
and "whenever you have
competition it makes for a
better ball player."
Coach Mitchell doesn't
believe the layoff will affect
Simmons. "A lot of people
may worry about Johnny but
I don't think he will have any
problems," Mitchell said.
"His reaction and reading
may be off a little bit but
there's no substitute for ex­perience.
"Johnny had a great year
last season. I don't think he
missed but four tackles the
entire year •
Playing together for a sea­son
is a definite advantage
for Beck, Langner and Sim­mons.
"It's a great help when
your cornerback knows
exactly what his safety will
do in a given situation," Mit­chell
related.
Coach Mitchell explained
that the three deep secondary
that the Tigers employ has
some disadvantages. "The
biggest problem with a three
deep secondary is range," he
said. "When you get a team
that splits out two wide peo­ple,
the distance is so great
that it's awful difficult for
three men to cover them.
"But we think the three
deep is sound. It prevents the
long run and now that teams
are returning to the ground
game, it should be even more
effective." __
Tigers host 'Dogs
By Jerry Coombes
Plainsman Sports Writer
After dropping two games
of a three-game set with Van-derbilt,
the Auburn diamond-men
were eliminated from
the SEC pennant race and
will now focus their atten­tion
on breaking a three way
tie for second by sweeping a
series from Georgia, Friday
and Saturday at Plainsman
Park.
With the Commodores
having wrapped up the West­ern
Division crown, Auburn,
Tennessee and Florida (each
sporting 6-5 slates) begin a
duel for the second spot. A
sweep of the Bulldog games,
the final league contests of
the season, is a must if the Ti­gers
hope to finish second.
The Plainsmen had their
title hopes dashed in the first
Vandy clash, last Friday at
Plainsman Park. The Com­modores
scored four runs in
the late innings to break a tie
and pin the loss on Jack Van
Yperen, 5-1.
The Tigers came back to
win the second half of Fri­day's
twinbill,.7-3, but lost
again on Saturday, 6-2. Bill
Lawrence and George
Wheeler picked up the win
and loss, respectively.
In recent games, the Ti­gers'
defense has overcome
an early plague of in­consistency
and has been
shored up by the addition of
Tim Hulsey at shortstop. The
senior has finally earned a
starting berth after riding the
bench for three and a half
seasons.
A series of injuries have
plagued Tim's career in a Ti­ger
uniform, but the Bir­mingham
native stuck with it
and now anchors the right
side"of the infield.
"I just thank the Lord that
I had an opportunity to
play," commented Tim.
"When I got busted up earlier
this year (an injured ankle), I
just about gave up any hopes
of playing college ball.

Rosen's thin dads
to confront Clemson
By Bruce Lee
Plainsman Sports Writer
After two consecutive
losses to Georgia, 82-63, and
Alabama, 101^44, Auburn
hopes to bounce back this
weekend against Clemson on
the Carolinians' home track.
Auburn coach Mel Rosen
noted that the loss to Ala­bama
was expected as they
are a superior team: "probab­ly
the best or second best in
the conference. We were just
outmatched."
Auburn athletes did turn in
some good performances
though. David Blake had a
mark of 15' 2" in the pole
vault, yet only placed third.
Frank Ogles had his best per­formance
of the year in the
880 but failed to place. Kit
Brendle had his best perfor­mance
in the mile for the year
and didn't place while Milton
Bresler's performance in the
440 was only good enough for
second place.
An amazing performance
for the Auburn team came in
the javelin event. Jimmy
Wunderlich had a throw of
202' 11" which is the third
longest in Auburn track his­tory.
Coach Rosen noted that
here was a boy who had never
thrown the javelin, until
coming to Auburn and now
he is a conference contender.
"I wish more boys from off-campus
who liked to throw
things would try out."
In commenting on this
week's meet with Clemson,
Coach Rosen said that
Auburn could probably
expect a strong showing in
several events. Steve
Richards and Jim Carson
should place in the high
hurdles, Milton Bresler and
Tim Curry should do well in
the 440, while Kit Brendle
should place in the mile run.
David Blake in the pole vault,
Paul Comarato in the shot
put and discus, and Jim Wun­derlich
in the javelin are also
expected to place high in the
meet.
•• Coach Rosen said that al­though
the Tigers should do
well, it might be hard for the
team to get up for the meet
since most team members
will be concentrating on the
conference meet next week.
But even with the upcoming
conference meet he expects
that his harriers will win at
Clemson.
In the conference meet,
Auburn has chances in
several events and could pos­sibly
come home with some
first place victories. Tom
Newdome and Bobby Scott,
who have been sidelined with
injuries, should also be ready
in time for the conference
meet. Coach Rosen also
expects that Milton Bresler
will go to the NCAA meet this
year.

High score or low score, it
didn't make any difference
this week. With the softball
season half gone, most of the
games were' running close
in fraternity action.
The men from PKA just
slipped by the LC's by a score
of 11 to 9 and the ATO's
edged the SAE's in a tight
one 8-7.
Meanwhile on other
fields.PKT nosed out the
diamond men from TKE in a
thriller 7-6. The TZ's just did
escape the clutches of KS
winning it 10-9 and in a real
slugging battle DSP came out
on top of CP by a score of 19-
18.
All the games were not
close, however, as SPE
slaughtered FH by a blister­ing
Score of 25-10 and DC
stomped BTP in their game
H-I6n. ind,e pendent action, the
Bradley Bombers remained
winless but they are getting
closer to that win as they lost
to KM A by a 22 to 10 score.
The Hombres shot down
the Daddy Wags 14-11 and
the Dexter Dodgers whipped
the University Apts. in a
shutout 3-0 ETC demolished
NESEP, 26-9.
The Navy Blues lunked the
Deans List and the grade was
not good at 10-5 while at the
same time the BSU struck
down the Behrman Bees 27-
12.
In other action the Day-trippers
ripped the WRs 17-8,
the Satellites flew by the men
of APO 10-5, and the Clippers
beat the Wesley Foundation'
12-8.
Due to the lack of con­testants
brought on by the
usual Auburn student
apathy, the Intramurals
department had to cancel the
open wrestling tournament
that was scheduled for April
26 and 27. It's a shame be­cause
this could have been a
great event at Auburn.
A little reminder that the
intramurals track meet will
be on May 15 and 17.1 hope
this will get better support
than the wrestling did.

Golfers return to Callaway
course after taking Cup
By John Duncan
Assistant Sports Editor
The Aii burn linksmen re­turn
to the Callaway Garden
golf course in Pine Mountain,
Ga. this weekend to try and
extend their 9-3-1 record
against Tennessee, Georgia
Tech, and West Florida.
This match will give the Ti­gers
their second op­portunity
to play the chal­lenging
Callaway course be­fore
the Southeastern Con­ference
championship on
Mav 11.
Auburn's record against
the Volunteers this season is
1-1. The Tigers downed the
Knoxville natives 4 strokes in
the Senior Bowl tournament
in January, but Tennessee
gained revenge on its home
course during the Major Col­lege
Invitational in early
April by 23 shots.
In competition against the
Yellow Jackets, the Plains­men
hold a 2-1 edge. The Ti­gers
have defeated Tech in a
three way match and in the
Junior-Senior Invitational in
Alexander City by 17 and 20
strokes, respectively, while
Georgia Tech beat Auburn
five strokes in a contest in
Atlanta.
Auburn and West Florida
are tied at 1-1 going in to
Netters meet Tide
By John Duncan
Assistant Sports Editor
The AU tennis team
travels to Tuscaloosa Friday
for a match against highly
ranked Alabama in an
attempt to end their losing
season with an upset victory.
The Tigers' recoid thus far
this season is 4-8.
Auburn almost pulled an
upset the last time these two
teams met in mid April, but
the Crimson Tide managed to
edge out a 5-4 decision.
The Alabama team will
feature hardhitting Mike
Cahill at their number one
slot. Descrobed as a "fi­nished
tennis player," Cahill
is currently considered to be
one of the top two singles
players in the conference.
The other players respon­sible
for the Tide's success
this year include John Anto-nas,
Mike Voyles, Don
Dillard, and Chuck Bibee.
Last week, Auburn split a
pair of matches with South
Alabama, winning 7-2 here
but falhngtc^heJaguars^4
in Mobile.
Tiger winners in the first
match included Jay Pease,
Ed Larsen, Bill Ward, and
Mark Lane in the singles and
the doubles teams of Pease
and Tommy Mike, Larsen
and Ward, and Lane and
Breck Bartmess were all vic-torio"
s.
"Our players have done the
best that they could have pos­sibly
done this season,"
Coach Luther Young ex­plained.
"With the exception
of our loss to South Ala­bama,
we've won the
matches that we anticipated
while losing the ones we ex­pected."
"Jay Pease, our most con­sistent
singles player this
year, has won five out of his
last six matches. With the
return of Pease, Larsen, and
Ward, in addition to some
good incoming help which we
might receive, we should be a
much improved squad next
year."
Saturday's match. West Fl
