Horizons Symposium
books speakers for series
Four speakers have been booked for
the 1971-72 Horizons Symposium and
several others are being considered,
Sonny Strange, director of the lecture
series, said Friday.
Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, chief of
Naval Operations, is scheduled to
speak January 13 and Betty Friedan,
women's liberation advocate, is under
contract to appear on campus February
10.
Dr. David Sriver, director of Urban
Fire This faulty refrigerator
on'
the second floor
of the pharmacy building caused overheated
chemicals to explode September
15. The blast in Miller Hall
knocked out windows, damaged the upstairs
laboratory and other areas of the
building, and erupted in fire. The heat
burst containers of chlorine gas, forcing
Auburn firemen to wear masks as
they fought the blaze.
Policy Studies at North Carolina State
University and William Peck, associate
professor of Religion at the University
of North Carolina, are
scheduled to speak jointly on "Existing
Life Styles in Modern Society,"
March 6 or 7.
Almost definite is author George
Plimpton; Strange said that Plimpton
would probably entertain late in
February.
Strange said that Vernon Jordan,
executive director designate of the
National Urban League, is tentatively
booked to speak April 24. Jordan will
replace the late Whitney Young as
director of the black organization in
January.
The only Horizons sponsored event
with a definite date this fall will be a
"Movie Orgy" from 6:30 p.m. to 1:30
a.m. on Oct. 1. This year's "movie orgy"
will be similar to last year's festival of
old films.
Strange also commented that
Horizons might schedule Democratic
candidate George McGovern (D-S.D.)
for a lunchtime speech November 4.
Mrs. Friedan, scheduled to speak during
winter quarter, has been described
as "the mother of women's lib in
America." She is also the author of
"The Feminine Mystique" and president
of NOW (National Organization
for Women).
Also appearing during winter
quarter will be Admiral Zumwalt, who
has been described as one of the most
liberal and outspoken men in the Pentagon.
Admiral Zumwalt was largely
responsible for the recent liberalization
of the Navy's dress code and conduct
regulations.
Strange and Jimmy Tucker, president
of Student Government Association,
were in Washington D.C., July 28-
30 contacting speakers to fill the Horizons
Symposium schedule.
Tucker and Strange spoke to
Senators Fulbright, Mansfield, and
Jackson, and Congressmen McClosky
and Mills about possible speaking
engagements at Auburn. "Although no
date has been set Representative
McClosky (R-Calif.) is coming to Auburn,"
Strange said.
Since the Washington trip, Strange
said that Jackson, Mills and Mansfield
still sound interested in speaking
in Auburn.

Alabama legislature
to determine outcome
of University budget
By Keith Bedwell
Plainsman News Editor
Auburn students began classes, and
the Alabama state legislature went
into its last day yesterday with the fate
of the University budget still to be decided.
Last spring, during a special legislative
session, Auburn requested budgets
of $36,848,278 and $40,988,284, for the
next two fiscal years. However, Gov.
George C. Wallace's budget recommendation
provided only $22,322,706 for
each year. Wallace's budget passed the
house intact but when it reached the
Senate Finance and Taxation Committee,
the bill was amended to reduce
the amount even more.
The committee voted to cut the
budgets of both Auburn and the University
of Alabama by $350,000 each
for each of the next .two fiscal years.
Yesterday, representatives of
Auburn and Alabama were still lobbying
to have the money restored. A final
vote was expected sometime late in the
day.
Pres. Harry M. Philpott said Tuesday
that he was feeling "much better"
about the budget than he was one week
ago. But he expressed concern over the
extreme delay in getting some sort of
budget. "This is the latest it has ever
been in my experience. We usually have
a budget before the end of May."
The chairman of the Finance and
Taxation Committee is • Sen. Bob
Wilson, an administration floor leader.
When questioned earlier on why the reduction
was made, Wilson would only
say, "Dr. Philpott and Dr. Mathews
know why the cutback was made."
When Rep. Pete Turnham was asked
whether he thought Wallace was sponsoring
the cut he said. "We have to
Oil October II
assume that the administration was involved."
Turnham added that he was
working hard to get the governor to
"change his mind." Turnham
introduced a bill earlier this session
which would have provided some $3.5
million to Auburn for construction of
new buildings. But he said his bill
failed to pass when money to fund it
was not located.
Herb White, director of University
Relations at Auburn, said that after
meeting with thegovernor last Friday
he was "fairly optimistic that all of the
money or a heavy percentage of it will
be restored."
Also present at the meeting were
Sens. James Clark and Bob Harris,
Richard Thigpen, executive assistant
to Dr. Mathews, and State Finance Director
Taylor Hardin. White said that
Wallace indicated at this meeting that
he would support a further amendment
to the bill restoring most of the
money when it came up for a vote on the
Senate floor.
White has been actively lobbying for

Auburn firemen bottle
Pharmacy building blaze
By Carniel Parsons
Assistant News Editor
Fire and explosions ripped through
Auburn's pharmacy building September
15 when chemicals contained
within a faulty refrigerator overheated
and exploded.
Windows on the second floor of Miller
Hall, which houses the pharmacy
facilities and classrooms, were blasted
out by the explosion, and extensive
damage occurred to the upstairs
laboratory and other parts of the building.
Auburn firemen had to wear masks
to contend with chlorine gas that
erupted from containers when heat
from the fire caused them to burst.
Nitrogen, hydrogen, soda, ether and
numerous chemicals were also in the
lab.
In the upstairs lab, a refrigerator was
twisted by the intense heat of the
flames.
In order to reach the upstairs, firemen
had to fight the blaze from the outside
on ladders until a heavy wooden
door at the back of the building could be
chopped through.
Heavy smoke damage was reported
in the immediate vicinity of the fire but
water damage was not termed serious.
The fire was discovered by an Auburn
night watchman who heard the
initial explosion and notified University
police officers. Auburn city firemen
arrived at 10:56 p.m. and had the
fire under control about 10 minutes
later.
Entertainment includes 'Superstar'
After a legal dispute concerning how
the show would be billed, it is now definite
that the American Rock Opera
Company will present "Superstar" at
8:15 p.m., October 21.
The official billing will be " the
American Rock Opera Company Presents
in Person, 'Superstar.'"
"Superstar" will share the spotlight
with the rock-jazz group "Blood, Sweat,
and Tears" (BS&T) which is
scheduled to appear at 7:30 p.m.
October 8. Both groups will appear at
the Memorial Coliseum.
Recently an injunction was filed by
the authors of the original "Jesus
Christ Superstar" against companies
performing the opera other than the
original cast. At one time, there was a
possibility the show might not appear
but the opera will still be performed
even though under a different name.
"Blood, Sweat, and Tears" was
scheduled to appear once before at Auburn
in the fall of 1969, but they cancelled
the engagement when they did
not receive a signed contract from the
University on time.
Other groups such as "Ike and Tina
Turner" and the "Carpenters" are
now having their contracts finalized
and definite announcements should be
upcoming within a few weeks.
According to promotional material
"Superstar" is a twentieth century look
at Jesus during the last seven days of
his life. The musical production centers
on the aspect of Judas and his
betrayal of Jesus. In the opera Jesus is
very definitely a "human." His head
does ache, his legs do get tired he does
grow weary, and he finally does die, but
Blood, Sweat, and lean
as a man who loves his fellow man. The
music is not exactly "rock" but it is
modern in harmony and rhythm.
The production has been called "very
successful" in Atlanta, and has also appeared
in Denver, Col. The show is
produced by Brother Hailey and Tommy
Timberlake. The directors are John
Harris and John Ivey.
"Down Beat" magazine has characterized
BS&T as a group that
"combines rock rhythm and blues, jazz,
and a refreshingly small amount of pretentiousness."
Bobby Colomby, the
band's drummer said, "the band has,
nine guys in it. Each one is an
individual. We all have our own backgrounds
completely different from the
next person. As a result, all of the music
that you hear is a combination of the
nine parts."
BS&T's first album, "The Child is
Father to the Man;" was well received
by critics but had a poor sales record.
However, their second album, "Blood,
Sweat, and Tears" contained such best
selling singles as "You've Made Me So
Very Happy," "Spinning Wheel" and
"And When I Die." The band is currently
represented on the national
charts by "Go Down Gamblin."
Tickets to "Superstar" are free for
students with the presentation of an ID
card on the day of the performance.
BS&T tickets are available daily at the
Coliseum for $3, $4, and$5.

Auburn University hires lawyer
to serve as free legal adviser
The University has hired
Attorney Ted. D. Little
through the Office of Student
Development to serve as
a free legal adviser to Auburn
students.
Little will give legal advice
to any student, but he will not
personally take any case to
court. He said, "I will assess
their legal position and then {
advise them whether to go
ahead or whether to pull back
and punt." However Little
added that if the student had
a case and wanted to take it to
court, he would be glad to
refer him to another lawyer.
Little also said that he
would be available to counsel
students who had
grievances against the University.
"I will neither encourage
nor discourage the
student to take his case to
court; I will do nothing more
than advise him as to the law
and whether he has a case
that will stand up in court."
Little's offices are located
in Room 309, Mary Martin
Hall. He will be available five
days a week from 10 a.m. to
five p.m.
Little graduated from the
University of Alabama in
1964 with a bachelor of
science degree in industrial
management. He received his
law degree in 1967 from the
University of Alabama and
was admitted to the Alabama
Bar Association in the
same year. Little has been
employed by the school of
Business as an instructor
and will continue to teach a
course in business law.
Last spring the Student
Senate set up a committee to
contract a lawyer and appropriated
$3250 for that
purpose. However Pres.
Harry M. Philpott together
with Jimmy Tucker, president
of the Student Government
Association, decided
that the program would be
more effective if it was run by
the Office of Student Development.
Tucker said that one advantage
of this system is that

the student senate.
AU appoints
first blacks
Dee C. Madison III of Tus-kegee
Institute has been appointed
to fill two positions
relating to the recruiting and
counseling of black students.
He will serve part-time as an
admissions counselor in the
office of high school and
junior college relations and
part-time as specialist in student
development services.
Madison is the first black to
fill a central administration
position at Auburn.
Late last spring, black
students lobbied to gain a
black recruiter on campus.
President Philpott said that
Madison will serve as a
liaison between black students
and the University administration.
Madison was born in New
York City and attended
public schools in Alabama
and California. He received
the B.S. degree in industrial
education at Tuskegee Institute
in 1970 and will receive
the Master of Education in
student personnel guidance
and counseling at Tuskegee
Institute in August.
While attending Tuskegee,
Madison served as a student
counselor and as head dormitory
counselor.
Auburn has also hired two
black faculty members—
Mrs. Josetta B. Matthews
and Dr. Joe L. Boyer.
Mrs. Matthews is Auburn's
first black history instructor,
and is beginning
teaching this fall, teaching
HY 202. She hopes to teach a
black history course this
winter; the history department
has offered the course
for the last three years. Mrs.
Matthews has a bachelors
degree from Indiana University
and a masters from Auburn,
and is also working on
her doctoral degree in education
here at Auburn.
Dr. Boyer has been appointed
associate professor
in the education program at
the Auburn Montgomery extension.
Dr. Boyer earned his
Ph.D. at Ohio State University.
Dr. Wilford S. Bailey, vice-president
for Academic and
Administrative Affairs, said
that the University had contracted
a position as an assistant
professor in counselor
education in September
for a black completing his
doctorate at Ohio State, but
Bailey stated that the prospective
professor called in
June and said that he would
be unable to carry out his
plans here.

Pres. Philpott
issues welcome
It is a very real personal pleasure to welcome both new and
returning students to Auburn University as we begin the fall
quarter. While in a sense the year-round program of the University
is such that we never completely pause in our variety
of activities, there is with the opening of fall quarter a resurgence
of new life and activity. The more than 3500
graduates of the past year are replaced by even more freshmen
and transfer students, bringing with them a new dimension
for the University.
Despite financial difficulties and other problems, last year
in every respect was a fine year. I have every confidence that
with the various constituencies of the University working
together through reason and mutual dedication, we will
experience an even better year in 1971-72.
It is good to see you back and a hearty "War Eagle" to each
and every one.
Harry M. Philpott
President
SGA president
notes changes
If you are coming to Auburn for the first year or for the
eighth oreveti the tenth year, I welcome you.
Each fall Auburn is a little different than the year before.
You that are former students have changed and those entering
Auburn for the first time often hold views and ideas
which are in variance with their predecessors.
The physical plant of Auburn offers something new as
well. A new Fisheries Building and Theatre Building are
well into construction. New asphalt covers many of the
streets and for those of you driving on campus, turn lanes are
easier to see because of the freshly painted direction signs.
Over the summer, also, the Student Government has been
working for you. There is now a new class attendance policy,
a lawyer to help you in times of need, and quality entertainment
on its way.
This year as usual some of us will still have trouble making
our grades, some of us will still get lost in Haley Center, and
of course, all of us will get wet this winter. I do feel sure however,
that those of us that work in the Student Government
Association will be working for and with you. If you have
any suggestions, complaints, or gripes about anything in:
Auburn, let us know. We are here to help. Best wishes for a
successful' and enjoyable year.

Court issues order to ACES
United States District
Judge Frank M. Johnson
issued a court order September
2, calling for an end to racial
discrimination in the
Alabama Cooperative Extension
Service (ACES).
Court action was prompted
by a suit filed by black employees
at the Extension service
who claimed they were
discriminated against in job
opportunities and Negro farmers
who complained that
services rendered by the Extension
service were discriminatory.
The Extension program is
designed to enable the University
to provide a variety of
educational services to
farms, homes, industries,
communities, and municipalities
throughout Alabama.
The Extension service programs
are organized broadly
around agriculture, marketing,
home economics, youth
activities, community improvement,
and resource development.
As a result of the passage of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
and the possibility of losing
federal funds, the Auburn
University Board of Trustees
adopted a resolution June 7,
1965, eliminating the ACES
Negro branch and merging
its personnel into the main
branch.
Johnson said in his court'
order, the court "specifically
finds that the purported merger
of the ACES dual systems
in 1965 has thoroughly and
effectively perpetuated and
to a substantial degree aggravated
the racial discrimination
which existed previously."
"Under such circumstances
as exist in this case,"
he said, "the courts have the
authority and the duty not
only to order an end to discri-minority
practices, but also
to correct and eliminate the
present effects of past discrimination."
To that end, he issued a detailed
decree directingthe appropriate
Auburn officials
and all county commissions
in Alabama to take the
following action:
All former Negro county
agents and home demonstration
agents still employed by
the ACES shall be given first
priority for consideration for
all future promotions.
If a person other than the
Negro agent is assigned to a
vacancy, the ACES is required
to justify such action
"with compelling reasons."
The ACES shall offer
proper positions to certain
named Negro employees or
former employees.
Salary schedules for Negroes
and whites must be
equalized.
County governing bodies
shall pay all county contributions
to the director of
ACES at Auburn instead of
to the ACES county staff.
The ACES shall divide the
total of all county contribu
tions equitably betweeil
white and black employees. I
The ACES shall find ancf
hire qualified black for ap
proximately 50 per cent of th^
vacancies until the per
centage of blacks on th^
county staff is substantially
equal to the percentage o\
blacksin the total populatior
of the state, which is 30 pei|
cent.
The same ruling as to staff]
members shall apply to se\
cretaries.
Wallace nominates alums
Two Auburn graduates
have been nominated by Gov.
George C. Wallace to fill
places on the Auburn Board
of Trustees.
Charles Milton Smith II of
Montgomery is Wallace's
choice to replace John Overton,
a Montgomery insurance
executive whose
term expired last January.
Smith's term will expire
January, 1983.
Henry Steagall of Ozark
was nominated to fill the unexpired
term of the late Sim
A. Thomas of Eufaula, one of
the two trustees from the
third district. Steagall's term
will expire in January, 1975.
The two nominations were
expected to be confirmed by
the State Senate during the
legislative session.
One of the trustees now
serving was renominated
and Wallace has taken no
action on another member
whose term has expired.
R. C. Bamberg of Union-town
was nominated for an
additional 12-year term. The
Eighth District seat held by
Redus Collier of Decatur expired
in January. By law,
Collier retains his seat until
reappointed or replaced.
A spokesman in the governor's
office said that Wallace
was not prepared to make a
nomination for Collier's seat
when he submitted the other
names on August 26.

Auburn begins fall quarter
I with AWS rule changes
Thursday, September 23, 1971 THE AUBURN PUINCMMI
Auburn begins its first full
year under the new Associated
Women Students rules
this fall with modifications
for nearly all coeds.
The self-regulation system
has been expanded and now
includes graduate students,
students 21 years of age or
older, seniors, and with parental
permission, juniors
and sophomores.
Under the self-regulation
system, a girl with no-curfew
permission signs "key" on
her "in-and-out" card if she
plans to return to the dormitory
by 10 a.m. the nextmorn-ing.
She checks out a key to
the dormitory and must return
it by 10 a.m. A lost key
costs the coed $50 to cover replacement.
If she does not plan to return
to the dormitory at all,
she signs "overnight" on her
card and does not take a key.
Juniors last year had 2 a.m.
permission, and the permission
is the same this year.
This year, however, sophomores
have been placed on
the key system.
Sophomores gained one-half
hour, from 1:30 a.m. to 2
a.m. Seniors, juniors and
sophomores must have
parental permission to use
the keys however, unless they
are age 21 or over. •
Freshmen were allowed to
stay out one-half hour extra,
from 12:30 to 1 a.m. on weekends.
Anita Page, president of
AWS, said that later hours
had been submitted for freshmen
but hadn't been approved.
Miss Page, when asked
about the self-regulation
system, said that she and
others had been studying
several plans in order to re-
Fraternities instigate
new system of rush
By Debbie Outlaw
Plainsman Staff Writer
A new system of rush was
introduced this year by the
Interfraternity Council E.
Garth Jenkins, assistant
dean of Student Affairs for
Fraternities announced. This
system enables each rushee
to visit only those fraternities
in which he is interested.
Dean Jenkins stressed that
in talking with several
rushees he noticed a definite
preference for this new
system.
Approximately 758 men
during the spring and
summer expressed an interest
in formal fraternity
rush, Dean Jenkins said.
Under the new system, each
rushee returned an interest
card sent out by the IFC this
summer.
There was no set registration,
so there was no way of
knowing exactly how many
men were really interested.
Formal rush was held on September
15, 16 and 17. The
figures on how many went
through formal rush and how
many pledged a fraternity
were not available at press
time.
Dean Jenkins believes that
fraternity rush could have
been more successful had it
not been for a few problems.
The biggest problem was that
Magnolia Dormitories, the
only men's dorm on campus,
was not open until last
Friday. This lack of housing
decreased the number participating
considerably. *"
However, this problem will
be resolved next year by cooperation
between the IFC
and dormitory owners. Another
problem centered upon
the fraternities not having a
strict schedule to follow.
They did not know what to
plan for but did adjust well to
the new system Jenkins
added. The IFC could not locate
many of the men locally
C/fy police
stage raid
Five suspects were taken
into custody on suspicion of
drug abuse Saturday morning
when Auburn police
staged a raid at the Rutland
House, 351 E. Thach Avenue.
Four of the suspects were
later released and only one
was formally charged with
possession of marijuana, according
to Lt. Det. Frank De-
Graffenried of the Auburn
police.
Robert Maurice Orr, 19, a
resident of the Rutland
House, admitted ownership
of seven bags of marijuana
which were seized in his
apartment along with some
other suspected drugs that
were turned over to the toxi-cologist
for analysis.
Participating in the raid
with DeGraffenried were Sgt.
Det. Ted Murphy and Officer
Arnold Henry of the Campus
Police aided by a member of
the toxicology department.
The raid climaxed a
month's "stake out" on the
house.
this year because no local addresses
were obtained. This
was an oversight and will be
corrected next year atpre-col-lege
counseling.
Because of the housing
problem there will be an emphasis
on open rush the
entire year. Dean Jenkins
said that the figures on pledging
would probably be lower
than last year but after a few
weeks of open rush they
would probably go higher
than last year's total. The
IPC's new system emphasizes
and encourages continuing
open rush the whole
year.
place the key system.
The best one, she said, was
a guard system with a night
watchman making rounds of
the dorms at appointed
hours, thus eliminating the
key system entirely. Coeds
would be admitted to their
dorms on presentation of
their ID's.
An idea that has been submitted
to President Philpott,
and turned down, is a non-compulsory
meal ticket plan
for all dormitory dining
halls. The proposed system
would operate much the same
as Magnolia Dorm Dining
Hall, where residents of Magnolia
Hall are not required to
purchase meal tickets and
non-residents are allowed to>
eat there.
According to Miss Page,
the submission was turned
down because it was too
rushed. She added, however,
that President Philpott, in a
meeting last Monday, indicated
that the subject was not
closed.
She also commented on the
fact that the plan was a possibility
for this winter quarter,
and she was hoping that

obstacle to the plan, she
said, was financial, and that
solutions to the problem were

Rushees get bids
484 coeds accept sorority bids
By Mary Ann Hall
Plainsman Staff Writer
The acceptance of bids by
484 coeds last Friday and
formal pledging Sunday
marked the end of the fall
formal rush period of
Auburn's 13 national sororities.
Belinda Auxley, Pan-hellenic
Council president,
said that this year's rush was
different in that sororities
tended to emphasize individuality
more than in previous
years.
Rush week began on September
11 with two days of rotational
open house when the
more than 700 girls participating
visited each : sorority

victim
One of the 10 hostages
slain in the four day prison
revolt in Attica, New York,
was the father of Auburn professor,
Dr. Wayne E. Werner.
Upon learning of his
father's death, Dr. Werner,
an assistant professor in
counselor education, left for
New York to be with his
mother and other members of
his family. Funeral services
were held Friday.
New York sources reported
Elon F. Werner, a senior accountant
at the prison, was
among the victims of the
prison revolt.
A native of Attica, Dr.
Werner, residing at 345

Plainsman Staff Writer
A new draft-extension bill
was passed by the Senate
Tuesday which will extend
for two years the draft that
expired June 30. According to
Col. Rex H. McKissick of the
Alabama Selective Board in
Montgomery, the new bill
contains only one major alteration
which could possibly
affect male students at
Auburn. The change, requested
by President Nixon,
concerns the presidential authority
to suspend educational
deferments.
"Under this new law," said
McKissick, "the President
has the authority to suspend
deferments should he feel the
need for such action. However,
there is no indication
that the President intends to
exercise that power in the
near future."
The new Selective Service
Extension bill last week sus-vived
a motion to table it in
the Senate by a vote of 47-36.
It passed Tuesday 55 to 30
without the Mansfield "end-the-
war amendment" which
called for a withdrawal of all
American forces from Indochina.
Under the new law, educational
deferments will be
granted to incoming freshmen
as before. Those wishing
to apply for a deferment can
contact representatives of the
Registrar's Office who will be
in the Haley Center Lounge
Monday through Friday.
This is to request that notification
of their present
status is sent to their respective
local boards. This
includes those wishing to
apply for the first time and
those who received a deferment
for 1971-72. Verification
of attendance will not be
sent without the student's request.
The major provisions of the
new law are as follows:
The President's authority
to induct young men into the
military is extended until
June 30, 1973.
The President has the
power to establish or cancel
student deferments, however
he cannot cancel deferments
issued under the previous Selective
Service Act.
Only divinity students who
move directly into the ministry
will retain a deferment
beyond their seminary
training.
The present law for conscientious
objectors was retained
after both houses of
Congress failed to devise a
new requirement.
Only 130,000 men can be
called during the first year of
the extension.
The legislation will provide
a $2.4 billion pay raise
for service men and women.
The bill will also provide a
basic minimum pay for enlisted
men and draftees of approximately
$5,000 annually.
The increase will not be effective
until the end of the
President's 90-day price-wage
freeze.
The nation has been without
a draft since the termination
of the old Selective Service
Act on June 30 of this
year. No one has been inducted
during this period, although
those having deferments
under the old law are
eligible for induction upon
the expiration of their deferment.
On the following days the
girls attended invitational
parties where they were entertained
with skits and
songs, and became better acquainted
with the various
sororities.
Not only was rush one day
shorter, but "Colors Day,"
which has been another "fun
and games" day in the past,
was designated as the day to
show rushees the more
serious aspects of Greek life.
Through techniques such as
slides and movies the sororities
tried to tell the girls about
their group, their purpose,
philanthropies, and other advantages
of membership.
During rush week the girls
lived in the dormitories with
rush advisers who gave
special help and advice to the
rushees. The advisers were
selected from their respective
sororities and relinquished
all official ties with
their club throughout the
summer and formal rush
period.
During the week rushees
were not allowed to make or
receive phone calls except in
emergencies. They were also
not permitted to date or talk
to boys.
While formal rush ended
when the coeds crowded
around Social Center on
"Squeal" to receive their bids,
open rush began Thursday
and will continue through
spring quarter. During this
period a sorority may offer
bids bui thereare no series of
parties as with formal fall
rush. Each sorority is permitted
to have one open rush
party a quarter.
Athletic Dept. issues
date ticket procedure
This year students wishing
to sit with their out-of-town
dates may do so by
taking someone who is not
going to the games with them
as they buy their tickets. In
this way, two tickets may be
purchased together. Regular
student football tickets may
be picked up or purchased in
conjunction with the issuing
of 1971-72 ID cards.
Tickets purchased in the
spring must be picked up
before the date of October 9.
After that time they will become
the property of the Athletic
Department.
Tickets to the Tennessee
game Saturday "should be
purchased immediately from
the athletic ticket office" according
to a memo issued by
G. W. Beard, athletic director.
Tennessee tickets are not
included in season books.
Ticket distribution will
begin at 9 a.m., Monday, and
will continue until 4 p.m., October
1, prior to the Kentucky
game. Season ticket sales will
begin at 1 p.m. Monday and
will continue through 4 p.m.,
October 1. Pick-up windows
will be open from 10 a.m.
until 4:30 p.m. each day
except Wednesday and
Thursday when all windows
will remain open until 10 p.m.
This is the first year that
season tickets to home football
games have been offered
to students. Sale windows
will be located on the right,
front side of the Coliseum.
Pick-up windows arranged
alphabetically, will be located
on the left, front side of
the Coliseum. Each student
may present four ID's for
ticket pick-up. All ID's must
be presented to the correct alphabetical
window.

Union to undergo
complete renovation
The Auburn Union will
soon undergo a complete renovation
according to Union
Director Clarence Cook.
Plans for the revamping of
offices, air conditioning, and
more food facilities will share
the spotlight with additional
recreation space. "We will
completely turn the Union
around," Cook said. "We
want to draw the student
back into involvement with
the Union and its program,
and we feel that the new facilities
will help a great deal.".
The Union Building was
originally planned to serve
t5,000 students but when completed
there were already
8,000 on campus. Now the
figure is over 15,000 and the
Union must rise to meet the
demand.
By approval of the Department
of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD), the $2.5
million federal interest subsidy
loan once'.headed toward
women's dorms, is now
going to the Union for the restoration.
The gradual relaxation of
dorm regulations which once
required all women students
to live on campus, is the real
reason behind the shifting of
these funds. President Philpott
has indicated that there
will be no more dorms built
for women.
Construction should be finished
by fall, 1973. The
plans for the expansion are
being prepared by the original
architects —Pearson,
Tidle & Narrows.

Our fraternity system
John Samfori
Wallace willing to sacrifice quality education
Even the most casual observer of
Auburn's fraternity system will
notice t h a t the Greeks are in the midst
of what we like to call a collective
identity crisis.
"Become more relevant." Meet the
demands of a growing and changing
University." These are the cries of observers
of the fraternity system.
What the Greeks and those who
support them are saying is that the
time has come to either change with
the times or die out as an institution.
The real question is HOW.
Many chapters feel that they have
found the answer to this question and
are rapidly moving to change many
facets of fraternity life. The hazing involved
in traditional "hell week," for
example, is being replaced by more responsible
pledge programs in many
chapters.
But the problem that fraternities
face goes far deeper than pledge
programs. The time has come for fraternities
to sit down and question the
very reason for their own existence.
We feel that fraternities have a
valid reason for existing if their
purpose is purely social. Fraternities,
country clubs, bridge clubs and other
social groups satisfy one of man's
basic needs for friendship and brotherhood.
Too often though, fraternities are
looked upon as much more than a
social organization. It is quite
common for fraternity men to devote
their entire college careers to their
chapter.
Such devotion, we feel, is almost as
worthwhile as devoting one's life to
the Elk's Club.
The basic reason that fraternities
should not be more than a social club
is the fact tha t such groups, quite naturally,
gather people t h a t are alike in
many ways. Making the fraternity a
way of life forces the student to live,
eat, drink and talk only with people
exactly like himself. Under the
present system, it is not unusual for a
fraternity man to finish college as
exactly the same person he was when
he graduated from high school.
Placing such value on fraternity life
deprives many a fraternity man of
what is quite possibly the single most
important benefit to be gained from
the college experience—the growth,
maturity and wisdom t h a t comes with
exposure to new and different people
and ideas.
Across the country, several fraternities
are moving toward eliminating
dormitories in fraternity houses and
using the house as a lodge. While such
a step would not be economically feasible
at Auburn, something needs to
be done to play down the fraternity as
a way of life.
Fraternity men need to get out on
the campus and do new things with
new people. In this way, when they do
get together for social functions as
indeed they should, they might have
something more exciting to talk about
than what brand of liquor they are
drinking.
As Auburn students began
classes yesterday, the University
still had no word from the
state legislature as to what
budget Auburn is operating on
for this fiscal year.
Auburn's request for
$36,848,278 was sent to the legislature
last spring and, as
Pres. Harry M. Philpott said
Tuesday, the University
usually has an appropriation
by the end of May.
As The Plainsman went to
press Wednesday afternoon,
University officials were in
Montgomery hoping to get an
appropriation of less than two-thirds
of their original request.
And it was quite likely
that some more cuts might be
made.
The problem stems from the
fact that during the last gubernatorial
campaign, Wallace
promised the people of Alabama
more four-year colleges,
more junior colleges, more medical
schools, improved
mental health programs,
highway improvements and
(this one's the real clincher)
NO DIRECT TAX INCREASES.
Governor Wallace might be
called a political genius to promise
all of these things and get
elected. But the problem is that
neither he nor anyone else
canpossibly carry out all of
these programs while still adequately
meeting the financial
obligations our state already
has.
One of these obligations—
perhaps the most important
one our state has, is
that of adequately supporting
our state universities including
Auburn.
The result of this problem
has been a summer-long political
struglgle on the part of
Auburn and the University of
Alabama to get appropriations
that are at least adequate
to continue operations
on the same level as last year
Women's rules
It is indeed difficult to say that no
progress has been made in the area of
women's rules in the past few years.
All women students except freshman
now have the privilege of unrestricted
hours and the right to live
off campus with parental permission.
Only two years ago all of these
privileges were granted only to
seniors and women over the age of 21.
But the fact still remains t h a t there
are rules for women which don't apply
equally to men. We find it difficult
to understand why such discrimination
should continue to exist.
We hope that this year, like the last
few, will be a year of change in the
area of women's rules. Step by step
progress is always welcomed.
But we hope that this year's steps
will be considerably larger t h an those
in the past and that with leadership
provided by Associated Women Students
and the University administration,
Auburn will finally move away
from discrimination on the basis of
sex.
**££ up rfie fcmiif /
without improvements or e
pansion.
Who stands to lose from all
of this political chaos? The
average student.
In a joint statement released
last week, President
Philpott and Alabama Pres.
David Mathews said that any
more reductions in budgets
would "do particular harm" to
graduate studies at both institutions.
At Auburn, some
$200,000 that was slated to go
to improving graduate studies
programs might be cut and
Philpott said that another
$150,000 might have to be removed
from the general operation
and maintenance budget.
The presidents also said that
because of "inflation, federal
cutbacks, increasing cost of
operation and rising enrollments,
both institutions were
forced to draw upon reserve
funds during the past year."
To the student at Auburn or
Alabama, such statements
mean that courses might be a
little harder to find because of
a shortage of faculty positions.
The quality of education
available in Alabama, even
though it is already rated
rather poorly, will be just a
little worse.
No one can argue with the
fact that Wallace has done
some outstanding things for
education in the state in the
past. During his last administration,
teacher salaries took a
tremendous jump for the
better.
But funding for education in
our state, unfortuantaley, will
always be a political matter.
And it is apparent that
Wallace is quite willing to
sacrifice quality education for
political expediency.
For the first time in history
this year though, students
have the political power necessary
to solve political
problems.
Through the vote, students
can in the next election, eliminate
a governor and those legislators
who follow-him in refusing
to work toward improving
education in the state.
Thorn pofsfanf
American Civil Liberties Union not 'left wing'
Talking to unhappy alumni is an
everyday thing for Pres. Harry M.
Philpott—especially in the early fall
when football tickets are mailed out.
But it is not exactly every day that
an unhappy alumnus—after talking
with President Philpott, is suddenly
so happy that he donates enough
money to the University to build an
entire building.
Yet, that is exactly what happened
two weeks ago. President Philpott
talked with James W. Goodwin of Birmingham
to explain why football
tickets were so bad and ended up collecting
a $300,000 gift from Mr. and
Mrs. Goodwin for the construction of
a new building for Auburn's marching
band.
Mr. Goodwin, who graduated from
Auburn in 1927, reportedly told President
Philpott, "I've never played in
the band—but I've always enjoyed
listening to them. Why don't we just
build them this new building."
The Goodwin building will be
located in the fine arts complex, part
of which is already under construction
near Graves Amphitheatre.
Plans call for the facility to be ready
by next fall.
At a time when money seems
extremely scarce for education in Alabama,
the generous contribution from
the Goodwins is appreciated by everyone
at Auburn. But we're sure t h a t the
members of the band themselves will
appreciate the .<dft more than anyone
else.
MmSMSWiSmatSm spring orfeTatherHMHft
formed history professor told a
class to contact their student
senators and discourage dispensation
of Student Activity
Fee funds to the newly-formed
campus chapter of the American
Civil Liberties Union
The present band room, which is
only large enough for half the band, is
located in the 84-year-old Music Building.
As President Philpott noted when
he announced the donation, it is not at
all unusual to see band members
perched in windows of the room during
practices because of lack of space.
Practice session involving the entire
band are now held in the Student
Activities Building since only smaller
groups can fit into the band room.
A new facility for the band is not
simply something .that band members
would like—it is a necessity. Our
band is one of the finest in the nation
and it is indeed a tribute to its members
that they have been able to maintain
a high degree of quality despite
their present cramped quarters.
We're not sure what happened
about Mr. Goodwin's football tickets.
But if President Philpott hasn't already
sent him some better ones we
certainly think he deserves them.
(ACLU). His reason: ACLU is
a "left wing" organization.
That hurt because it's a
common misconception about
America's foremost defender
of civil liberties. The basic liberties
outlined in the Bill of
Rights along with their numerous
interpretations are not
a matter of left or right, but a
matter of freedom for all American
citizens.
Some people just don't understand.
Conservatives have
been angry with the Union for
defending obnoxious leftists,
Communists, and Black Panthers.
The left doesn't understand
why the Union has
taken up for segregationist governors
and the Ku Klux Klan.
T<rtheUniony the-issue is the
same: civil liberties have been
denied.
And now there is a small,
active ACLU chapter on
campus, struggling for credibility
and a workable, effective
organization. Why? Is
anyone really being denied his
basic civil liberties here at
Auburn?
The answer to that question
depends on your definition of
civil liberties. To the campus
ACLU, civil liberties cover a
broad spectrum of rights including
the right to a fair trial,
the right to vote, and the right
of women to be treated as first
class citizens.
Frankly there are daily violations
of basic civil liberties
on campus and around town.
For example, one would
expect the University to
respect the right to a fair trial
for a student. But a certain
legal interpretation, which the
ACLU considers to be archaic,
allows the University to discipline
students before they
have seen the inside of a courtroom.
If a student is arrested
for possession of marijuana,
he can be thrown out of school
before a court of law has
proven him guilty or innocent.
This is not double jeopardy,
but simply the University looking
after its own welfare without
consideration of future welfare
of the accused student. Although
University administrators
claim (and probably
with sincerity) that they are
concerned with the welfare of
accused students, the present
disciplinary system does not
guarantee enough civil liberties
to insure that welfare.
Another case will illustrate
my point about University discipline,
and, in the eyes of
ACLU, the right not to be tried
more than once for the same offense.
Recently a woman
student was refused- readmit-tance
to Auburn because she
was convicted for possession
of marijuana two years ago.
Actually her conviction was
overturned, and her legal
record is clear. It was suggested
that she appear before
the Women's Disciplinary
Committee so her case could be
considered. This coed is legally
innocent, yet the University
will not accept this fact without
another trial and very probably,
another emotional
trauma.
The right to vote is another
area of concern to ACLU. So
what is to be done with the Lee
County Board of Registrars
which not only feels that a
student must own property
before he can vote, but, according
to some students, has been
rude and uncooperative to
some who have tried to register.
The property qualification
is the Board's own little interpretation
of "establishment of
residency" and may be
challenged by the town
chapter of ACLU in court.
And what about the student
who is gypped by his landlord?
Or the coed who is told
that she must spend a week of
evenings in the dorm because
she was late checking in one
evening?
Face it, civil liberties—and a
definition would be a matter of
interpretation—are important
to students. The campus
ACLU is, at present, very
limited in its powers. There's
just no money. But other
student organizations like the
SGA are beginning to fight for
a wide range of rights.
As for that history professor,
if anyone ever told him he
had no right to speak out
against ACLU, the 50-year-old
Union would probably be the
first organization to offer help,
or, at least, to sympathize.

By Dr. Charlotte R. Ward
Assistant Professor of Physics
Today when "rights" is a catch word and everybody
has to fight for his, whether he knows what
they are or not, academicians might as well get into
the act, too.
What does a university student have a right to expect
of his professors? Whatmay a professor reasonably
expect of sudents? And does it not all apply to
the higb schools and elementary schools as well?
A university is a community of scholars existing
for sharing academic endeavors, with both students'
and professors' rights defined in that context.
Other rights or other arei. t of endeavor are not
the educational institutions' primary concerns.
What may a student—def\ned as one whose
primary reason for being such is to learn from those
who have more knowledge, insight, understanding
and experience than he, and together with others of
like purpose—expect from faculty?
In general, he may expect that the professor is a
person of knowledge, insight, understanding and
experience. He also has the right to expect that the
professor be a competent scholar in his own field
with a general knowledge of the basic principles of
his subject, whether it be physics or English literature.
The professor should be conversant with the
scholarly techniques and research methods, in a
general way, of all the main areas of his field, not
just his specialty. He should have contributed, and
hopefully still be contributing, to the knowledge and
understanding of his own specialty whether by research
that breaks new ground or by the rethinking
of long established ideas to give new insights or
clearer understanding.
He should be able to talk about what he knows
and loves enough to make his life work in a manner
that generates interest and enthusiasm in his hearers,
explaining things in clear and simple terms by
use of examples and analogies, even when his field
is one of extreme complexity.
He should be able to see the relation of his own
field to the general world of scholarship—to see how
physics has influenced literature, for example, or
how the attitudes of the literary world affect
physics.
The student has a right to expect that each member
of the teaching faculty be concerned about the
quality of his teaching to the extent that he is
constantly trying to improve it, seeing his role as
teacher as one of critical importance. What he has to
say in class or show in the laboratory should make
the time well spent, both on his part and that of the
student.
As a teacher, he considers hissubjectinteresting,
important, relevant and useful in making his student
a more fully educated person. He is prepared,
selecting those ideas and facts that are important
and arranging them in a logical sequence any
student can follow. He continually seeka fresh illustrations
and approaches that will enable him to
"get through" to the student.
He plans his work ahead so that he can present to
the student within the first few days, reading and
project assignments and their due dates, with
examination dates that will need to be changed only
in rare cases. He is considerate, does not demand a
volume of work consuming time out of proportion to
credit given. He does not gjye last minute assignments
nor set mi I'ongnnnhle,deadlines. *
He is fair, judging all students by the same
standards with the same requirements for all, and
does not play favorites. The grades he gives represent
his best impartial judgement of the degree to
which the student has met his clearly defined
requirements. He is available to give extra help during
normal working hours and clearly specifies the
times and places where he may be found. He keeps
his appointments. He is courteous in his dealings
with everyone—colleagues, students, office personnel
and administrators.
A student may not expect the professor to change
a schedule to suit his convenience to the disadvantage
of the rest of the class. He may not expect
the teacher to be on call every hour of the day or
night. He may not expect the professor to be his
"buddy." He may not expect a passing grade on any
basis other than performance of passing quality.
If the professor,lives up to the student's expectation,
it seems reasonable for the teacher to expect
definite kinds of attitudes and behavior on the part
of the student.
He may expect regular, prompt attendance and
courteous attention and participation in class. He
may expect that the student allot a fair proportion of
his time to the preparation of assignments on
schedule. He may expect that the student show some
interest in his course or at least an open minded-ness
and willingness to be convinced of its values.
He may expect an honest effort to learn on the
part of the student. He may expect honesty and integrity
in the preparation of assignments and the
taking of examinations.
If these expectations are met on both sides, then
both parties nay expect to shake hands as equal
participants in the scholarly community when the
terminal degree is awarded.

Budget
President Philpott greets coeds of annual welcoming party
the University's legislation during this
year's session.
When the committee's cut was first
announced, Pres. David Mathews of
the University of Alabama and President
Philpott issued a joint statement
saying, "We made our plans with the
confidence that the two Universities
would receive at least the amount recommended
by Governor Wallace in
his original budget. Any cuts just as the
schools are ready to start would cause
serious problems and major reductions
in programs at both institutions."
The committee also reduced the
budget of the Auburn branch at Montgomery
by $250,000. But White said
that he was not "pushing" thisbecause
that money was not in the original
budget, but was added to the bill on the
floor of the House. White said that he
thought AUM was "getting about as
much money as it could expect."
Spokesmen for both Universities
said that the proposed cutbacks would
do "particular harm" to the graduate
study programs. Some $200,000 of the
originally proposed increase was
slated for improvements in graduate
study including the hiring of additional
faculty.
In their statement the presidents also
said that because of "inflation, federal
cutbacks, increasing cost of operation,
and rising enrollment, both institutions
were forced to draw upon reserve
funds during the past year."
CAN YOU BE INDIFFERENT?

Letter to the Editor
1FC deals potential death blow'
Editor, The Plainsman:
This fall, Auburn's Board
of Men's Intramurals will
initiate a new method for
determining fraternity intramural
leagues. The fraternities
will be ranked according
to number of members last
winter quarter, and a division
will be formed after
every seven fraternities.
Regular season intramural
competition will then
be conducted only within the
divisions, that is, you play
the same six fraternities the
entire year, no matter what
the sport. Prior to this year,
leagues for every sport were
drawn at random.
At a time when inter-fraternal
interaction is a
necessity for the very survival
of the system, the Inter-fraternity
Council has dealt
itself a potential "deathblow"
with this measure.
Having served my fraternity
as sports chairman, I have
seen the tremendous spirit
generated by facing all fraternities,
regardless of size; it
is, in my estimation, one of
the most marked strengths of
the Greek system.
Now, however, by restricting
each fraternity's opponents
to the same six,
cliques or bitter rivalries will
invariably result, both detrimental
to the system.
I am told that the main reason
for the change is "to give
the little fraternities a
chance." For pete's sake, the
football championship was
won last year by the fraternity
which was twenty-first
in size at the time. Of the 11
sports sponsored by the
Board of Men's Intramurals,
more than half require a
roster of five men or less; in
fact, four sports require the
talents of but a pair of
men—two people!
What fraternity cannot
muster up two better than
average men, and challenge
any other fraternity on
campus? Crying about one's
size is an excuse for lack of
desire, motivation, pride and
hustle.
I believe this letter will
have served its purpose if it
causes someone to respond
with the other side of the
story, because I just can't see
it.

The baby seal in the photo was one of 50,000 killed in the
Gulf cf St. Lawrence, one of over half a million seals
clubueJ, speared, shot, gaffed during the 1970 Canadian-
Norwegian slaughter in the Atlantic.
Don't believe furriers who would persuade you that
Friends of Animals has been "misleading" you, that any
slaughter anywhere is done for the benefit of the seals.
Alice Herrington, testify that on March 21, 1970-the
second day of the Canadian season on seals—I saw the
same brutal massacre against which Friends of Animals,
of which I am president, has been protesting for years.
As the bubble-domed helicopter flew low over the first day's
ikill, I saw mother seals nuzzling the skinless corpses of
their babies. Standing ten feet away from the killers on the
ice floes, twenty miles out in the Gulf, I saw baby seals,
clubbed twice, raise their heads as they were sliced open.
Other babies were battered as many as fourteen times
while the mothers watched in terror and stress.

Disagreement arises over discipline study
Two major points of disagreement
have arisen between
Pres. Harry M. Phil-pott
and members of the Discipline
Revision Committee
concerning the adoption of
recommendations to overhaul
the present disciplinary
system.
Three members of the Discipline
Revision Committee
met with President Philpott
early last August and agreed
on all major points but
geographical jurisdiction
and over whether the Disciplinary
Committee or the
president should have final
jurisdiction concerning discipline
violations.
Gilliland expanded on the
disagreement with Philpott:
"On the matter of University
jurisdiction, President Philpott
regards discipline as a
part of education. I agree that
education is more than class-work,
but I think it's something
the individual chooses,
not something forced upon
him as in discipline. Also, I
feel that any educational
value derived from punishment
by civil authorities cannot
be added to by any
additional actions of the Discipline
Committee."
"In other words, we're assuming
what a student has
done off campus has little
relation to him being a student
at Auburn University.
Controversy
All summer long campus figures commented on and
debated over the lengthy report on University discipline.
The following excerpts from The Plainsman this
summer illustrate the controversy.
Concerning the matter of geographical jurisdiction
for campus discipline:
"/ have a very difficult problem, personally, in saying'for
example, if somebody in Gay Manor steals a student's
notes the night before an examination and
utilizes them. The student finds out and gets the goods
on him. This has no monetary value, so its not going to
be an offense chargeable in court for which a person
would be fined $50 and sent to jail. But, to me, it is a disciplinary
action that the University oughttostepinand
do something about. If it occurred over there, we
wouldn 't. (if the Discipline Revision Committee's recommendations
were adopted.)
—Pres. Harry M. Philpott
Concerning th? nature of the report:
"The report is extremely thorough and in line with
most court decisions concerning discipline on college
campuses. The committee considered the views of reform
groups, students in general, and administrators in
preparing the report."
—SGA President Jimmy Tucker
Concerning a compromise that might be made in
adopting the report recommendations:
'No compromises should be made with the University
administration on the discipline recommendations.
If the administration balks, ACLUwill put up a fight; I
would hope that every student would insist that the committee's
proposals be accepted by President Philpott in
their entirety."
—John Saxon, Chairman, Auburn ACLU
Concerning the University's philosophy on disciplinary
matters:
"The philosophy held by University administrators
will be a major obstacle to a change in the system. The
administrators deny that they apply the 'in loco
parentis' (in place of parents) philosphy but they do
apply it. If a basic philosophy is outmoded, impractical
and irrelevant, then the operation of even a revised system
would encounter many problems."
—Gary Campbell, instructor in political science
(Campbell, a lawyer, left his position here to work as an
assistant to a judge in San Francisco)
ALLMAN BROTHERS LIVE,
ON GARRARD CHANGERS,
THROUGH AR SPEAKERS,
BY HERBERT MUSIC.
Of course anyone who could
be considered a menace to the
safety of Auburn students is
an exception, but, for example,
I personally don't think a
person arrested for possession
of marijuana is a threat
to Auburn University."
Jimmy Tucker, president of
the SGA and a member of the
committee, commented on
the jurisdiction disagreement:
"We, the committee,
feel that the University discipline
system should apply
only to actions that occur on
campus. Two main exceptions
would be fraternity
property and University-related
trips. We feel that
actions off campus are more
the individual's and the community's
responsibilities
than the University's. President
Philpott feels University
discipline should apply
off campus as well as on."
Presently final jurisdiction
in disciplinary matters
rests with President Philpott.
"We feel that the disciplinary
committee should
pass final judgment in all
cases brought before it
instead of simply recommending
actions to the president
as it does presently,"
said Tucker. "President Philpott
feels that since he is
ultimately responsible, he
cannot give up this
authority," he said.
Former Student Senator
Bruce Gilliland, primary
composer of the report's
initial draft, said that he
would discuss the report with
the Student Senate next Monday
night. If the recommendations
get senate approval,
the committee members
will again negotiate
with President Philpott.
Committee members may
make some small corrections
in the recommendations. One
clause, a recommended violation,
says that students
would be within disciplinary
jurisdiction if they committed
"lewd, indecent, or
obscene conduct or public
profanity" on campus or on
campus affiliated areas. Gilliland
said that the wording
might be changed because of
the ambiguity of "lewd" or
"obscene."
Gilliland did express pleasure
in the fact that Dr. Philpott
did have so few
objections to the report. All
three committee members
expressed hope that the
report would be approved in
its entirety.
Jimmy Blake also a committee
member, told the
Plainsman that one possible
compromise was mentioned;
that the Discipline Committee's
jurisdiction include only
the Auburn community as opposed
to wherever a student
might be.
A 104-page report containing
recommendations to
overhaul the University disciplinary
system was published
last August by the Discipline
Revision Committee,
a subcommittee of last year's
Student Senate.
The report has already
stirred debate around
campus. Pushing for its adoption
are the authors and committee
members: Bruce Gilliland,
chairman and SGA Secretary
of Academic Affairs;
Jimmy Tucker, SGA President;
Student Senators
Jimmy Blake and Linda
Zuber; and former senator
(now graduated) Doug Davis.
Pres. Harry M. Philpott,
who received a copy of the
report over the summer, has
complimented the committee:
"It's a very fine report. A
lot of hard work went into it,•'
and you've got to give the people
involved full credit forit."
President Philpott, however,
has some reservations about
the report (see related story
on this page) and his approval
is neededJor its adoption.
The report recommends
that the University adopt a
"jurisdiction" in disciplinary
matters that focuses on
specifically listed violations
that occur on or within University
owned property, fraternity
property, during University
sponsored activities
and by University chartered
organizations.
A student charged with the
commission of felony (or
when there is strong or convincing
evidence that a
student has committed a
felony) of such a nature that
his continued presence at the
University is potentially dangerous
to the health and
safety of the University community
would be within jurisdiction
of University discipline.
Presently, a student is
subject to disciplinary action
before he is tried for a felony.
Restricted jurisdiction as recommended
by the committee
does not exist.
A specific list of violations
that would serve as a basis
for disciplinary action within
the recommended jurisdiction
is included in the report.
The basis for disciplinary
procedures at present is outlined
in the "Tiger Cub"
which, according to the committee,
contains clauses that
are too "controversial and
Introducing stationery
for people who think
saving a tree is important.
Earthnotes is 100% recycled quality stationery. It's made entirely
from waste material. Trash.
Using recycled paper saves trees, reduces pollution, and cuts
down on waste.
But recycling only works when there is a demand for waste material.
And this demand is created only when people buy recycled products.
By buying Earthnotes, and other recycled paper products, you create
a market for recycled paper. And help to save more trees.
Each box contains 50 Monarch size sheets, 30 matching
envelopes and 30 "Save- a-Tree"
stickers so you can spread the
recycling message. It's available
in white or pastel "earth colors".

confusing."
The recommended list of
violations includes the following:
knowingly publishing
or circulating false information;
furnishing false information
to the University
with the intent to deceive; forgery,
alteration, or misuse of
University documents,
records, or identification
cards, threatening and/or
committing physical
violence against another
person
Unauthorized entry into offices,
dormitories, or other
University facilities; vandalism,
malicious destruction,
damage, or misuse of public
or private property, including
library materials; theft,
larceny, embezzlement, or
the temporary taking and
using of the property of another
person, in the University,
or associated units; intentionally
issuing bad
checks to the University; Intentional
disruption of
University academic
activities.
Disorderly conduct,
including rioting,inciting to
riot, assembling to riot, raiding,
and inciting to raid; participation
in hazing; lewd, indecent,
or obscene conduct or
public profanity; illegal possession
of firearms, ammunition,
explosives, fireworks, or
dangerous weapons; failing
to meet financial obligations
to the University for which
satisfactory arrangements
have not been made.
Illegal manufacture, sale,
possession, or use of narcotics,
barbituates, central
nervous system stimulants,
marijuana, sedatives, tranquillizers,
hallucinogens,
and /or similar known drugs
and/or chemicals; public
drunken behavior, or illegal
possession of alcoholic
beverages or liquors; male
students participating with
women students in breaking
AWS regulations relating to
dormitory curfews.
The committee recommends
that one disciplinary
committee, instead of the
three presently employed,
handle disciplinary matters.
The committee would consist
of two students and three
faculty members with one of
the faculty members serving
as a chairman who would
vote only in the case of a tie.
Associated Women Students
rule violations would
be handled exclusively by the
AWS Judiciary Council.
Presently, the AWS Council
and the Women's Disciplinary
Committee handle disciplinary
matters in overlapping
jurisdictions not clearly
defined. More severe infractions
are generally handled
by Women's Disciplinary
and lesser infractions by
AWS Judiciary Council. The
Women's Disciplinary Committee,
according to the committee,
should be abolished.
The report proposes that
final authority in disciplinary
matters be vested with
the University Discipline
Committee, not with the
president of the University as
in the present. Student
appeals, however, could be
made to the president.
The attendance of spectators
at disciplinary hearings
would be allowed, with restrictions,
if the accused
student desires that the
hearing be public. Presently,
hearings are not open to the
public.
The committee also outlines
proposed punishments
for guilty students as follows:
formal reprimand —a
written expression ot disapproval
sent to the parents or
guardians of guilty students;
probation—a stated time
period when a guilty student
must sacrifice certain privileges
and report periodically
to the dean of student affairs
or the dean of women; suspension—
a tin.e period when
a guilty student is not
allowed to attend school but
may re-apply at a later date;
expulsion—a guilty student
is not allowed to attend Auburn
University; restitution—
a guilty student is required
to make compensation
to an injured party for
damaged, lost or destroyed
property.
The committee recommends
procedure in additional
areas of campus discipline
as follows: action when
students subject to discipline
withdraw from school; policies
regarding disciplinary
action and student records;
student responsibility to civil
laws; rules of evidence; witnesses
for hearings; multiple
hearings; notification of accused
students prior to hearings;
temporary suspensions,
and counsel for accused
students.

Open Air Forum
Thursday, September 23, 1971 THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN
By Royce Harrison
Plainsman Staff Writer
An Open Air Forum has
been established, and regulations
regarding its use and
the use of Graves Amphitheatre
have been written.
A battleship-gray platform
within a hundred feet of the
east entrance to Dorm 10 is
the focal point of the area
designated as an Open Air
Forum by a special committee
appointed by Pres. Harry
M. Philpott this summer. The
Forum is bordered by Commons,
Haley Center. Dorms 9
and 10, and Haley Center
parking lot two.
The committee that worked
on Open Air Forum recommendations
was headed by
Dean Edward Hobbs of the
School of Arts and Sciences
who said that the committee's
main effort was to provide
a centrally located site
that did not interfere with
classes. The walkway between
Commons and Haley
Center accommodates more
traffic than any other walk
on the campus, according to
Hobbs.
"We think it's a good location
and it will allow everyone
to discuss important issues,
while at the same time
providing protection for
those who do not want to
listen," said Hobbs.
Regulations require sponsors
to reserve the Forum
with Dr. Fdward Taylor in
the Student Affairs Office in
Mary Martin Hall. University
faculty, students, staff,
and administrators are
eligible to use the Forum. Off-campus
organizations and
individuals are also eligible
to use the Forum provided
they are officially sponsored
bv a chartered student
organization or by other recognized
University agencies
or organizations.
The Forum will be the only
place on campus that a loudspeaker
can be used, unless
other authorization is given
by the office of the president.
Also, special authorization
must also come from the president's
office for the use of
other areas on campus for
open air speeches and
debates.
The Department of Buildings
and Grounds is furnishing
a "sound truck" on call
for the Forum. No other
public address system or
electronic device may be
used. The "sound truck" will
carry a $5 fee.
There are time regulations
concerning the use of the
Forum. It will be available
between the hours of 9 a.m.
and 10 p.m. Monday through
Saturday, and between 1 and
10 p.m. on Sunday. Operation
of the public address system
is restricted to 10 a.m. to 4
p.m. Monday through Saturday
and 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
Other regulations concerning
the use of the Forum
include the following:
Sponsors are responsible
for removing or having removed
all debris and litter
banners and other advertisements;
sponsors are
financially responsible for
any damages done to the
Forum and equipment as a result
of its use; and sponsors
are responsible for crowd control
and for keeping adjacent
walkways and streets clear.
New regulations concerning
Graves Amphitheatre
have also been drawn up.
They are as follows:
No amplified sound will be
permitted except between 5
and 9 p.m. Monday through
Thursday, 5 and 10 p.m. on
Friday, 1 and 11 p.m. on
Saturday, and 1 and 9 p.m. on
Sunday.
The sponsoring organization
will be responsible for a
reasonable level for
amplified sound, cleaning
the area and turning
electricity on and off.
Sponsoring agents must
schedule the use of Graves
with the Office of Student Affairs.
Infirmary
adds doctor
The infirmary has announced
the addition of a
new member to its staff—Dr.
Robert E. Walsh.
A graduate of Duke University,
Dr. Walsh attended
medical school at the same
time President Nixon was in
law school. Although he only
knew him casually as a
fellow student, he later met
Mr. Nixon as Vice President.
Because of the shortage of
doctors during World War II,
he joined the Navy. He was
chief of anesthesiology at six
naval hospitals and on the
Navy hospital ship
"Repose." Later he became
Eighth Naval Medical Officer.
Dr. Walsh retired June 1 in
New Orleans. He and his
wife, Mrs. Waverly Gray
Walsh of Norfolk. Virginia,
moved here after 30 years of
marriage.
Wanting to get away trom
big city life, Dr. Walsh is
happy here at Auburn. He
adds, "I did get away from
the big city, but the traffic?"
AU to offer non-credit courses
Among the 23 non-credit
short courses being offered
this quarter, several such as
folk guitar, investments,
slide _ rule operations and
'photography may be of interest
to students. Typing,
shorthand and office
machines, which have been
popular with student wives,
will also be offered.
Registration will be held in
Annexation
should pass
There is optimism that the
Alabama state legislature
will pass the bill containing
the annexation of three
pieces of land into the city
limits of Auburn according to
City Manager I). Kent I-oicli-liter.
Leichliter said the bill has
been introduced in the House
of Representatives but not in
the Senate and added that
the bill will probably not he
introduced in the Senate
during this session as Senator
Don Home opposes the
measure.
Home represents the area
including Lee, Chambers,
and Randolph counties.
If the bill is to pass it must
have his approval and Leichliter
said that Senator Home
had made it known during
the year that he did not want
this annexation.
Martin Hall, Room 300,
through tomorrow. Anyone
with the interest and ability
to benefit from any course is
eligible to enroll. No
educational prerequisites are
necessary for enrollment and
no University credit is given.

rehearsals. Instead only sections of
the band use the room. By next fall, a new band room is scheduled
to be completed. See story, page 16.
A major medical insurance
plan is available this
fall to students for the first
time. This plan will be offered
as part of the Student
Accident and Sickness Insurance
Plan that has been
available for the past several
years.
The new plan will provide
without dollar limit, up to 70
days hospitalization in a
semi-private room, additional
miscellaneous hospital expenses
and outpatient
hospital care. Also, up to $500
for surgical expenses and $6
per day for doctor visits is included.
This plan is $50
deductible and benefits are
paid in addition to any other
insurance in force.
Emory M. Underwood,
chairman of the Student
Insurance Committee, said
information and applications
for the insurance program
would be in the
Coliseum while students are
obtaining their ID cards
Monday through Thursday.
For family coverage to include
children the annual
premium will be $81. Also,
optional maternity benefits
up to $150 will be available
for an extra $40 premium.
A general insurance plan
similar to past student insurance
programs will be offered
at an annual premium
of $12. This plan pays a
maximum of $500 in sickness
and accident benefits.
The cost of the. major
medical plan will be $27 a
year per student. For
husband and wife the cost
will be $54.

All four of the seniors took part in putting
Auburn ahead 34-7 at halfftime before they
retired to the sideline to watch the rest of the
team pile up the total 60 points.
By David Weber
Assistant Sports Editor
"A crucial game. . .a must
win." These are the words
that college football coaches
love to use each week before
meeting the upcoming foe on
a Saturday afternoon.
Saturday these words become
a reality for the teams
that collide in Knoxville's
Neyland Stadium as the Tennessee
Volunteers host the
Auburn Tigers in what is already
being billed as the key
game in the race for the SEC
championship.
Tennessee, still sweltering
from a 36-23 loss suffered at
the hands of the Tigers last
year, will be seeking revenge
against the team which
spoiled their undefeated sea-
Tennessee has a defense
which is agressive, quick,,
and experienced at every
position. Last year they
finished second in the nation
in defensing their opponents'
running game,
while leading the nation in
pass interceptions.
Eight of the eleven defensive
starters from last
year's 11-1-0 team return,
with all but Bill Emendorfer
again on the defensive unit.
Emendorfer, an All-SEC
sophomore at defensive
tackle last year, has been
switched to offensive guard.
The heart of the defense is
the ltnebacking corps, consisting
of Jackie Walker,
Jamie Rotella, and Ray Nettles
and regarded by many as
the best in the country. Walker
was a consensus All-
America last year as a junior,
while Rotella was an Associated
Press all-sophomore
All-America choice.
The defensive backfield is
just about as good, anchored
by safety Bobby Majors. Also
a consensus All-America,
Tennessee will operate
defensively using a four or
five man front, depending on
As it stands right now, the
game is rated a toss-up. The
team with the least number of
turnovers and the most big
plays should emerge
victorious.
'A game of breaks9 say
scouts Cafego, Stewart
i -
George Cafego and Clifton Stewart were busy in Cliff
Hare's press box last Saturday.
"I'll be happy to talk to you after the game, son," Cafego
muttered as he turned his attention to the field. "But right
now, I've got to watch Auburn."
So he, along with Stewart, stared at Auburn for 60 minutes,
plus warmups, and kept scribbling furiously in their notebooks
as the 60-7 rout took place before their eyes.
Speaking of Sports
By Randy Donaldson
Sports Editor
And knowledgeable eyes they are. Cafego has been the
University of Tennessee's No. 1 scout for several years, while
Stewart is considered one of the best young men around. And
they were both in Auburn to watch a fairly meaningless game
with Chattanooga
"You couldn't really learn any new things about Auburn
from watching this game today," Cafego said when his notebook
was closed. "About all they had to do today was get out
there and play.
"I think Auburn has an underrated running game," Stewart
said. "James Owens has really impressed me today, and I
heard that hewas hurt. If he can run like he has today and be
hurt, what's he going to be like when he's well?"
As far as Stewart is concerned, Auburn has no weaknesses.
Not even the small defensive backfield, which is listed at 5-8,
5-9, 5-10, could come in for any doubt in his mind.
"Height won't be a key," Stewart continued. "It's just a matter
of who plays the kicking game the best and who gets the
breaks. It will definitely be a game of breaks."
The games of the last two years point to the accuracy of
breaks meaning the game. In 1969, Auburn threw interceptions
all day and Tennessee won. In 1970, Auburn had an
intercepted pass returned for a touchdown, recovered a fumble
in the end zone for a touchdown, and went on to win the game.
Cafego agreed with the idea of breaks making the difference.
"The winner of the game is the team that is lucky. I just hope
it's us."
What kind of game does Cafego think that it will be?
"I'd have to say that it's going to be a hell of a game."
No kidding.
Curt Watson, FB
Majors led the nation in pass
interceptions in 1970 with
ten, but he may not be at full
speed against Auburn after
suffering an injury last week
in the closing minutes of the
Vols' 48-6 win over the University
of California at Santa
Barbara.
• p .
the number of linebackers,
and a four deep secondary.
On offense, the Volunteers
can be expected to run, run,
and run some more. Fullback
Curt Watson has twice
been selected All-SEC, and he
is returning for his senior
year. He will be complemented
by sophomore
sensation Haskel Stanback.
Should the Vols be forced to
pass, however, they may find
themselves in trouble. Last
week none of three quarterbacks
that Tennessee
employed was able to move
the team through the air,
managing only three completions
in sixteen attempts.
It will be interesting to see
if Auburn can break the
television jinx that has
plagued teams of the recent
past. The Tigers have not
won a televised regular season
game since 1965.
In retrospect, tomorrow's
game shapes up as a classic
confrontation between the
potent, proven offense and
the solid, stingy defense, Pat
Sullivan and Terry Beasley
clashing with Jackie Walker
and Bobby Majors.

While Pat Sullivan watches from
the ground where he was tackled,
Sandy Cannon and an official await
the ball. Although this pass eluded Cannon, he returned to
make two fine catches later in the game.

ngers romp over
Read minds . . .
"But I'll tell you this, that Sullivan and Beasley are so good,
it's really something else. Beasley can break a pattern, and
Sullivan will still be able to get the ball to him. It's just like
they were able to read each others minds."*
Stewart was more inclined to talk about Saturday's game
pitting No. 7 Auburn against No. 8 Tennessee.
We know that if we are going to win the SEC championship,"
he said, "that we have to win this game Saturday. It's
just a simple as that.
And since Auburn is one of the strongest teams in the conference,
and since winning the SEC is our main goal, this
game is probably the most important of the year."
Only blemish .
Ffyim named Headhunter
Mike Flynn, a sophomore starting his first game for
the Auburn defense, was awarded the Headhunter
trophy for his play in Auburn's romp over Chattanooga
last week.
Flynn had five individual tackles and three assists for
a total of 13 points, allowing two points for each individual
and one for each assist.
Second to Flynn was Bruce Bylsma who had five individual
tackles also, but only one assist for a total of 11
points.
There was a three-way tie for third in the Headhunter
balloting between linebackers John Hayworth and Bill
Newton and sideback Dave Beck. All had nine points,
Newton on the basis of four individuals and one assist,
Beck with three individuals and three assists, and Hay-worth
with two individuals and five assists.
Put yourself in David
Beverly's shoes.
You practice for months at
your punting, and when the
game finally comes, almost
all you do is watch as your
team scores. . . and scores. .
and scores.
That's what Beverly did as
the Pat Sullivan precision
practice demolished and out-manned
Chattanooga team
60-7 in the opening game of
the 1971 season last Saturday.
Sullivan was all but perfect
as he hit 13 of 16 passes
(two were dropped) for 132
yards and two touchdowns.
He was so good that he
played less than one half,
and as a consequence, had
the second lowest total offense
for one game in his varsity
career.
But Sullivan had all sorts
of help in the victory. Nine
different people scored, including
sophomore defensive
back David Langner,
who scampered 88 yards
with an interception, the
third longest interception return
in Auburn history.
Terry Beasley also scored,
the first score of the game, on
a three-yard pass from Sullivan.
The score tied Beasley
with Dennis Homan for
career touchdown receptions
at 18, a Southeastern Conference
record.
The running backs piled up
180 yards on the ground, led
by Harry Unger and Terry
Henley who totaled 41 yards
apiece In all, nine backs carried
the ball as the bench was
cleared later in the game.
The scoring parade began
after Chattanooga was
forced to punt. Sullivan hit
four passes in a row in the
drive, including one to
Unger, Dick Schmalz, and
two to Beasley. Gardner Jett
kicked the PAT, the first of
seven he was to kick.
The second Auburn score
came on a Tommy Lowry
charge up the middle after an
80-yard drive that included
four more Sullivan completions
before one was missed.
The snap from center on
the point after was bobbled.
The third Tiger tally came
as a result of a fine defensive
play by Bob Brown, Auburn
defensive end. He slapped an
attempted Chattanooga
pitchout all the way from the
20 to the four before Mike
Flynn, sophomore linebacker
fell on it. The touchdown
came on a brilliant
pitchout from Sullivan to
Henley, who darted in from
the five for the six points. Jett
converted.
The fourth score came on
another Sullivan aerial to
Schmalz from 11 yards out,
one of five catches that the
flanker caught on the day.
Jett kicked true.
Ralph Brock began his
tenure at the quarterback
spot late in the second period
with an 11-yard bullet to Rett
Davis for yet another score.
Jett kicked again.
The only excitement on the
Chattanooga bench came
with only seconds to go in the
first half. Micky Brokas hit
Seepage 11, col. 5
3> u l ' t T i
The only blemish on Tennessee's record last year was a 36-
23 loss to Auburn. How much of a revenge motive is there in
the Tennessee's players'minds, then?
"No, there isn't anv revenge involved," Stewart said grinning
as though he might have stretched the truth a little" The
only reason we're gonna be fired up for the game is that it's so
important in SEC." Sure, coach.
Auburn's last taste of Neyland Stadium turf was a bitter
one. Tennessee romped45-19, as Sullivan threw five interceptions.
But Stewart sees nothing of the sort happening in Saturday's
game.
"I think you can attribute that to inexperience," he said.
"We got ahead early, and they had to play catch-up for the rest
of the game. That probably won't happen again.'".
But Stewart and Cafego aren't planning for a repeat of last
year's game, either. The Vols are determined to stick with
what got them ahead 10-0 in last year's game, but this time,
keep doing it.
"We're not going to make a lot of changes from last year,"
Stewart said. "Our biggest problem is coming through with a
quarterback, a position that we're not as strong at as last
year." In their opening game, Tennessee showed Stewart to be
right by experimenting with three different quarterbacks,
despite winning 45-6.
JpPMf
One way.
"There's only one way to beat Auburn," Stewart said, "And
that's by controlling the ball. If you control it, you keep it
away from Sullivan and Beasley, you use up time, and the
longer you keep it, the better the chance you have of scoring.
"And when Auburn does have the ball, you've got to stop the
bomb. They've been able to get the bomb on us the past couple
of years, and we've got to stop that from happening.
"Last year, we were ahead by ten points, but then Sullivan
hits Beasley to get them started, and before you know it we're
behind."
Stewart didn't let the opportunity to praise Auburn's running
game get by, either. With all the concentration on Sullivan
and Beasley, the running backs have been little heard
from.

Frosb could be best ever
By Mike Merrill
Plainsman Spoils Writer
The 1971-72 edition of Auburn
University freshman
football looms as one of the
finest Baby Tiger squads in
recent years, according to
coach Tom Jones.
"Overall, this team has
more talent than anyone I've
ever been associated with,"
Jones said. "We not only
have a lot of big people, we
feel that we have a lot of
talented big people."
A look at the roster of the
freshmen brings home Jones'
point about size. Twenty-three
of the 30 freshmen
signees for this fall are at
least ft feet tall and weigh 190
pounds. The interior line
avarages 228 lbs. per man,
with Richard Mann the
largest a t 280.
"The addition of Frank
Young (from Tulane) to our
freshmen staff has helped us
considerably ." Jones continued.
"Coach Young is
head of our defense, and does
a fine job in that position.
And he also treats the players
like they want to be treated,
and they all respect him for
it."
The quarterback spot has
seen a fierce battle waged
between two lanky throwers.
Joe Bruner is 6-5, 190, while
Randy Walls is shorter at ft-.'},
190, but still taller than most
quarterbacks.
"Both boys have been
working really hard," Jones
noted, "and neither is really
ahead of the other. However,
all things remaining the
same, if we should play tomorrow,
we'd start Bruner,
and then give Walls the same
chance the following game."
The line is not without its
potential stars, though. One
that has particularly impressed
Jones is Lee Gross.
"Not since Bill McManus has
Auburn had a center like Lee
Gross," Jones said. A high
school All-America at Lee
High in Montgomery, Gross
(K-3, 220) has, as Jones said,
"all the tools to become a
great football player."
Other lineman that came
in for special praise by Jones
were strong guard Andy
Steele, rated by Jones as "our
best offensive lineman,"
strong tackle Dan Nugent,
tight end Rob Spivey, and
quick tackle H. L. Caldwell,
one of a set of twins.
The speed of the freshman
team is supplied partly by
Mike "Pistol" Fuller, fastest
man on the squad. Fuller has
been moved from split end
spot to tailback on the freshman
team because, according
to Jones, "We feel that
moving Mike to tailback will
give us an outside running
threat as well as a capable receiver.
Mike is much like
Micky Zofko in his ability to
run with and catch the
football."
Two other outside receivers
have impressed in the
early season workouts. Mac
Phillippi (6-4, 205) and Sherman
Moon (6-2, 185) have
caught attention, Phillippi
for his "great hands," and
Moon for his speed, which is
second only to Fuller's on the
team.
The defensive unit of the
freshman received a big blow
when Rick Calkins (6-3,235)
tore ankle ligaments in the
first full scrimmage of the fall
against the varsity. One of
the most sought-after linemen
in the south last year, he
had undergone surgery and
will be lost until spring practice
next year.
Linebacking and defensive
backfield are both
solid positions, with the linebackers
having good agility
and quickness. David
Williams, Carl Hubbard,
Kenneth Bernich, Rolfe Harper,
and Pat Jones are in the
fore at linebacker, while Rick
Neel (brother of varsity rover
Mike Neel) Scott Umstead,
Bruce Evans, and Jim
McKinney are the leaders in
the secondary.
The freshmen open their
season against the Florida
Gators in Cliff Hare Oct. 4,
and then travel to Georgia
Oct. 18, away to Miss. St. on
Oct. 25, and end the season
with home games against
Mississippi Nov. 1, and Alabama
Nov. 20.

The pre-season forecasters
have probably paid more attention
to the Auburn Tigers
and its Heisman Trophy candidates
Pat Sullivan and Terry
Beasley this season than
since the days of the highly-heralded
1964 team. Herewith
are some of their predictions:
Playboy
Perhaps the most highly-read
preseason predictor of
all time is Anson Mount,
Playboy's psychic. Mount got
his start in the forecasting
business with the aid of
Scoop Hudgins, now the
Southeastern Conference
publicity director, and apparently
he has forgotten the
favor.
More Playboy Ail-
Americans have come out of
the SEC than any other conference,
and this year is no
exception. Naturally enough,
Mount picked Sullivan and
Beasley to lead his All-
America offensive unit.
Auburn is Mount's choice
for the ninth spot in the top
twenty teams. Georgia, who
was picked to finish fifth in
the nation, was the choice to
come out on top in the SEC.
Sports Illustrated
Perhaps the second most
widely read forecast is that of
Sports Illustrated, which
would be first if they have
provocative covers.
SI picked the Tigers to
finish out of the top ten in the
nation, but not by much. The
Tigers were picked to finish
eleventh, but again their was
much publicity in store for
Sullivan and Beasley in the
write-up. There was also a
feature-picture stories on the
old master coaches of the
game, and naturally enough,
a picture of Shug Jordan was
included.
Gridiron
Gridiron, which bills itself
as "the Bible of football,"
much in the same manner
that Sporting News is to
baseball, features Pat Sullivan
on the cover of their
Sept. 12 issue. Also, they
leave no doubt that Sullivan
is the Heisman Trophy candidate
to beat in a story called
"Can Pat Sullivan Lose the
Heisman Trophy?" There is
also a story by former Plainsman
staffer on Sullivan the
person.
The future for Auburn, as
Gridiron sees it? Nine and
two 5-1 in the SEC, and a
bowl trip.
College Football Guide
Cord Sportfacts' College
Football Guide also features
a story on Sullivan, entitled
"A Pat Hand for the Heisman."
Within, he discusses
his merits, and pays a lot of
attention on the upcoming
Tennessee game. The Guide
echoes the similar feeling of
Gridiron, that the televised
Tennessee game will either
greatly enhance or hurt Sullivan's
chances for the Heisman.
Another important fact is
pointed out: the Alabama
game is played after the Heisman
ballots are in. There is
another chance for the voters
to view Sullivan, however, if,
in the regional wild card
game for Nov. 13, the telecas-ters
go with the Auburn-
Georgia game.
The Plainsman is a
student newspaper, and
the sports section
desperately needs those
students to help write
about the Auburn Tigers.
If you want to help inform
the public about Auburn's
athletic prowess,
come to the basement of
Langdon Hall or call 826-
4130 and you'll be put to
work.
Sportscene
Chris Schenkel's Sport-scene,
one of the first to hit
the stands, is the only
fortunetelling magazine to
openly predict the Heisman
winner. The sports announcer,
who along with his,
colleague Bud Wilkinson will
be covering the televised
game with Tennessee, passed
over Sullivan and chose
instead Ed Marinaro as
player of the year and choice
for the honored Heisman.
But, Schenkel chose Sullivan
and his batterymate
Beasley to man his All-
America teams. But he
ignored Auburn when
venturing to pick the top ten.

Their is some discrepancy
here, however, as their man

SEC, and executive sports editor
in Virginia, picks Auburn
to finish second also in
the SEC. And who they finish
behind, in each case, is not
the same team.
Try. Try hard.

Once again, The Plainsman prognosticators return to
ply their trade as the owners of the crystal balls in the
world of college football. Last season, the forecasters
were right in over 67 per cent of their picks and this
year's guessers have vowed to better that mark.
The pickers this year are Randy Donaldson, sports editor,
David Weber, assistant sport editor, Armand
DeKeyser, intramurals editor, John Samford, editor, the
sports department of WEGL-FM, and the Old Pro, who
returns for his 10th consecutive year as the mystery
picker, with his identityknown only to Plainsman sports
editors.
This week's guest picker is the immortal coach of the
Mississippi Rebels, Johnny Vaught, who turned Ole
Miss into a football power and was the dean of SEC
coaches until health forced his retirement last year.
And again, The Plainsman has adopted the
Muhelnberg Mules of Allentown, Pa., as its favorite
small-time. The Mules rose from the depths last year and
developed into a 7-2 team.
AU thinclads get Smith as new coach
Jerry Smith, track coach at
Livingston for the past six
seasons, has been named assistant
track coach at Auburn,
according to an announcement
by Athletic
Director Jeff Beard.
Smith's primary duties will
be working with sprinters
and middle distance runners
and recruiting. Track coach
Mel Rosen was highly
pleased with the addition of
Smith to the staff.
"Jerry was an outstanding
leader and competitor while
he was at Auburn. He has
done a tremendous job putting
in a track program at
Livingston and developing
such outstanding trackmen
as Charlie Thompson and
Clayton Nichols."
Thompson finished second
in the NAIA triple jump in
1970 and was Livingston's
first Ail-American athlete in
any sport. Nichols won the

this past year, defeating the
finest runners from Auburn
and Alabama in the process.
Smith set the Alabama
State High School 440 record
with a :49.9 as a senior at
Woodlawn in Birmingham.
He then came to Auburn and
won the SEC 440 title as a
sophmore. He was injured as
a junior but still finished
third and was second his
senior year. He ran on Auburn's
two-mile relay team
that still holds the school
record.
In the NCAA Indoor
Regionals at Louisville in
1964 he ran a 1: 10.1 in the
600 and that time is still
listed as one of the 15 best all-time
American performances.
Smith enrolled at Livingston
in the fall of 1964, after
receiving his BS from Auburn,
and earned his MS in
secondary education in 196;").
He continued to compete on
his own that year and turned
in his career best effort in the
indoor 500 at Louisville. His
:57.6 was second in the world
that year and remains on the
list of the top ten all-time best
American performances.
Jerry was then named Director
of Auxiliary Services
and Head Track Coach at
Livingston in 1965. In 1968
he went full time with the
Physical Education Department
as an assistant professor
and remained as track
coach.
