Queens and bands
Homecoming traditions live on
By Mike Kenopke
Assistant News Editor
Traditions such as the balloting to­day
for homecoming queen, tonight's
homecoming concert, alumni reunions
and a Friday-night pep rally will be
again honored this year as Auburn
celebrates its 61st homecoming.
Saturday's alumni activities will be­gin
with a coffee at 9 a.m. in the South
Reading Room of Draughon Library;
guests are asked to use the College
Street entrance.
A picture taking session for the class
of 1923 is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Sat­urday,
followed by an Auburn Alumni
Association business meeting and elec­tion
of officers at 10 a.m. A new pres­ident
and three new members of the
Executive Board will be elected.
An alumni and VIP luncheon will
take place at 11:30 a.m. Saturday in
Terrell Dining Hall and a 50th reunion
dinner for the class of 1923 will be held
at the Heart of Auburn Saturday fol­lowing
the game.
The band will begin its pre-game per­formance
at 1 p.m. The performance
will feature a patriotic theme.
A big War-r-r-r Eagle and the kickoff
for the game between Auburn and the
undefeated Houston Cougars is sched­uled
for 1:30 p.m.
Miss Homecoming will be crowned at
halftime by Gov. George C. Wallace
and she and her court will be presented
during halftime festivities.
Elections for homecoming queen will
be conducted today between 8 a.m. and
4 p.m. Balloting will take place at all
major campus buildings and iden­tification
cards will be required to vote.
Votes will be tabulated at the Com­puter
Center by key punch, and results
will be announced at the pep rally Fri­day
night.
Miss Homecoming candidates are:
Deborah Leigh Whatley, 4SED, a 5
feet 8V-> brown-eyed blonde from Ox­ford.
She is a member of Alpha Delta Pi
sorority.
Margaret "Peggy Elise Kniskern,
2FA, is a 5 feet 3 blonde from Miami.
She is a member of Chi Omeea sorority.
Elizabeth "Libby" Ann Lively, 2MK,
is a 5 feet 5V-2 brown-eyed brownette
from Huntsville. She is a member of
Kappa Delta sorority.
Loventrice "Love" Scales, 2HY, is
from Wedowee and is 5 feet 2 with
brown hair and brown eyes.
Mary Deborah "Debbie" Hartwell,
4FCD. is a 5 feet 8 green-eyed blonde
from Mobile. She is B. member of Chi
Omega sorority.
Running as a write-in candidate is
Doug Hill, 1PPY. Charles Bush, 2PM,
campaign manager for Hill, said Hill is
being sponsored by a group from Mag­nolia
Dorm who want "to protest the
idea of a Homecoming." He said they
believe that homecoming "serves no
useful purpose."
Also on the ballot this year will be a
five question referendum to poll stu­dent
opinion. The questionnaire, which
was drawn up by the Student Govern­ment
Association, concerns local is­sues
except for a question asking
whether or not students favor the im­peachment
of President Nixon.
The other questions on the referen­dum
are:
Have you read an SGA "Com­munique"?
Would you favor elimination of the
one mile radius rule on the sale of al­coholic
beverages in Auburn?
Do you favor a power increase (from
10 to 250 watts) for WEGL-FM?
Does WEGL-FM adequately cover
campus events? Auburn's 1932 Head Cheerleader Bill Ham comes home in style -curti* Mauidin

Alarm not connected to fire station
By Mike Kenopke
Assistant News Editor
A smoke detection system in Sam-ford
Hall has still not been connected to
alarm equipment in the Auburn Fire
Station because the alarm was con­nected
in the University Information
Office, in the basement of Samford
Hall according to Buildings and
Grounds Director Linwood E. Fun-chess.
University Pres. Harry M. Philpott
said last April that the alarm would be
connected to the fire station soon.
Funchess said the detection system
was connected in Samford instead of
the fire station because a telephone
operator is in the information office 24
hours a day, seven days a week who
would hear the alarm and notify the
fire department if necessary. He said
this has prevented many false alarms.
Smoke detection sensors are located
throughout Samford, Funchess said,
and are connected to an alarm board in
the information office. The board is
divided into 8 or 10 zones for different
areas of the building and the alarm
lights up and buzzes in the zone de-
Concert
The Interf raternity Council-sponsored
homecoming concert,
featuring America, will begin to­night
at 8 p.m.; Coliseum doors
open at 7 p.m.
Tickets will be on sale at the
Coliseum box office until inter­mission.
As of late Wednesday,
$3, $4 and $5 tickets were avail­able.
Related story, page 14.
All $5 ticket holders are to en­ter
the Coliseum from the ground
level, east side of the Coliseum.
All other ticket holders will enter
from the main entrance.
Ian Matthews is scheduled to
start the homecoming festivities
at 8 p.m. America will follow the
intermission between set
changes.
signated for that area of the building
when a fire starts.
Funchess said the operator is under
instructions to call the office of the area
of the fire when the building is oc­cupied
and try to locate the fire. He said
if the fire cannot be located in two min­utes,
the operator is to call the fire de­partment.
When the building is not oc­cupied,
which is approximately three-fourths
of the time, the operator is to
call the fire department immediately.
"There have been numerous false
alarms since the system was instal­led,"
Funchess said, "but since all but
one have been caused by employe activ­ity
during office hours, the fire depart­ment
has only been called once." A
false alarm was set off once in the at­tic
during a bad electrical storm when
only the operator was there and the fire
department was called.
Fire Chief Ellis Mitchell said that the
present system is not as efficient as
connecting the detector system at Sam­ford
with the alarm that is already in­stalled
in the fire station.
"With the materials and design used
during the time Samford and some of
the other buildings on the older part of
campus such as Broun and Langdon
Halls were built, if a fire gets any head­way,
Samford will probably burn to the
ground," Mitchell said. "The time it
takes for the operator at Samford to
locate the fire could be the time it takes
for the fire to begin to spread."
"Samford is definitely not fire­proof,"
Funchess admitted. He said
when the building was renovated in
1970, it was discovered that the frame
consisted of several large wooden joists
and other wooden construction that
"could create quite a fire."
"We felt we got the maximum protec­tion
for the money," Funchess said.
"Samford has some vital records in it
and it is sort of a tradition, so Pres.
Philpott decided to go ahead and re­model
the building and put in the best
fire alarm system instead of building a
new building.
"It cost almost as much money to
renovate Samford as it would to have
built a new building."
"A sprinkling system would have
been the most desirable system to have
installed," Mitchell said. "Samford is
the landmark of the campus and it
seems like the administration would
use the best protection possible."
Funchess said a sprinkler system
was considered "but after weighing all
the possibilities, we thought the smoke
detection system would be the best. A
sprinkler creates a great deal of water
damage and is not near as sensitive as
a smoke detection system. A sprinkler
nozzle could be right above the start of
a fire and the fire would spread before
the system would be set off and the noz­zle
starts spraying.
prior to the March meeting is res­ponsible
for the Board's inaction on the
issue, Pres. Harry M. Philpott said.
The Board is meeting Friday and
"hopefully, the transmitter request will
be on the meeting's agenda," Dave
Gamble, WEGL station manager, said.
However, James E. Foy, chairman of
the Communications Board, said the
request is being re-examined by the
Board and will be presented again with
new arguments to the Board of
Trustees in a few months.
With the present range of five to six
miles, WEGL cannot reach many stu­dents
living in Opelika, Gamble said.
"The station's goal is to reach all of Lee
County. A 250-watt transmitter would
increase the range 20 miles and pro­vide
the power for a possible stereo link­up,"
Gamble said. The transmitter
would cost about $6,000.
Elmer Salter, owner of WAUD, op­poses
the new transmitter asserting
that the new unit would be unneces­sary.
"I think WEGL is doing a fine job
with their present transmitter and ful­filling
their function, which is to serve
as a campus news medium," he said.
Salter was on the committee ap­pointed
by Philpott to study the need
for a campus station before the plans
for WEGL were drawn up. "At that
time I offered the use of my facilities at
WAUD for student needs to save Au­burn
an unnecessary expense," he
said.
"I believe that the $16,000 being
spent for WEGL now could be used in a
better way," he said, "such as building
handball courts or leveling Max
Morris Field or maybe even bringing a
concert or other entertainment to Au­burn."
WAOA and WFRI-Stere% whjch are
under the same ownership, are alsbTri
opposition to the new transmitter, ac­cording
to Glenn Buxton, general man­ager
of both stations. He declined to
comment further.
Jack Smollen, general manager of
WJHO, said he does not oppose the 250-
watt transmitter, but would welcome
the competition that a more powerful
transmitter reaching more people
would bring to the Auburn Market.
"The more competition, the better we
(WJHO) would get," he said.
Dr. Hal Drake, WEGL faculty ad­viser,
said that WEGL would probably
have to change its present format of
"music to study by" to more educa­tional
presentations before the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
would grant any request for a more
powerful transmitter.
"I am not sure the Auburn student
body is sophisticated enough to accept
WEGL's becoming a truly educational
station," Drake said. "Besides, WEGL
is an educational station and is not on
the air to compete with commercial
broadcast stations."
Coliseum ticket purchases
now only on cash basis
By Peter Zurales
Plainsman Staff Writer
Beginning with sales for the Ameri­ca
concert, Coliseum ticket purchases
will be on a cash basis only, according
to Assistant Coliseum Manager Tom
Sparrow. He said entertainment offi­cials
were having "too much trouble
with improper checks."
"We've just had too many checks not
signed, filled out wrong, or returned
with insufficient funds," Sparrow said.
He added that an average of three to
five improper checks were received
daily during the Elton John ticket
sales, losing about $50 a day.
Receipts from sales must be given
to the bursar's office each day, he ex­plained,
and a balance must be reach­ed
between the amount sold and the
amount taken in. A balance must also
be reached before each new concert.
Sparrow said he spent an hour or two
daily trying to locate passers of bad
checks. Although there haven't been
any substantial financial losses, there
have been losses in both time and ef­ficiency,
said Sparrow.
The Athletic Department also has
been forced for similiar reasons not to
accept checks for football tickets, he
said.
Mail orders must be purchased by
money order and not by checks. Any
losses are absorbed by the student body
and not by the Coliseum, Sparrow said.
Sparrow said he could see no de­crease
in the price of tickets because of
the large sums that bands must be
guaranteed before they will sign. The
Coliseum receives nothing from stu­dent
activities fees.
Floor seats are limited to two per
person with two ID's and block seat
purchases are limited to tier level seats.
This is to guarantee all Auburn stu­dents
an equal chance to obtain tickets,
Sparrow said.
Sparrow said the problem in obtain­ing
the "America" contract was caused
by the promoter's offices. The Coli­seum
had contacted the New York Of­fices
who said the contracts would be
mailed to Auburn by their California
offices.
A tracer was sent out and the cont­ract
was received Monday afternoon.
"The delay in getting the contract will
hurt the overall ticket sales, said
Sparrow, "because tickets are on sale
for four days rather than the usual two
weeks." A contract must be received be­fore
tickets can be sold.

ACTION
Representatives to recruit next week
By Marietta Caldwell
Plainsman Staff Writer
The Peace Crops and
VISTA, now merged into one
organization called AC­TION,
will have three re­presentatives
at Auburn
Monday, Tuesday and Wed­nesday
to talk with students
about joining their organiza­tion.
They will be located in 1231
Haley Center from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m. On Tuesday they also
Hardison to
lecture Monday
Dr. O.B. Hardison Jr.,
director of the Folger Shakes­peare
Library in
Washington, D.C., will speak
here at 4 p. m. Monday in 2370
Haley Center.
Hardison will lecture on
"Attempting the Impossible
and Accomplishing the Un­believable:
Thought on Two
American Revolutions,"
inaugurating the 1973-74
Franklin Lectures in Science
and Humanities.
Hardison was educated at
the University of North Caro­lina
and at the University of
Wisconsin and has held
teaching positions at several
major universities.
wih oe available for personal
interviews in Mary Martin
Hall.
ACTION is interested in
persons of all majors but es­pecially
those in agriculture,
business, engineering, phy­sical
education and home eco­nomics,
according to George
Senigsohn, one of the repre­sentatives.
The Peace Corps offers the
opportunity to do two years of
service overseas helping
underdeveloped nations.
Volunteers in Service to
America (VISTA) offers a
year of service in America
working in such areas as
poverty and city planning.
Approximately 90 per cent
of all ACTION workers are
either college graduates or
are highly skilled, Senigsohn
said. The minimum age is 18,
the average age is 26; there is
no maximum age. Most im­portant
is what an indivi­dual"
can offer ACTION —
knowledge through educa­tion,
hobbies, interests and
community work, Senigsohn
said.
An application does not
commit the volunteer in any
way. He is notified of his
acceptance or non-accep­tance
about two months af­ter
he applies. Getting into
the field takes about three
more months. "There are no
contracts — a volunteer is
only required to pledge al­legiance
to the United
States," Senigsohn empha­sized.
Senigsohn said the only ob­ligation
to remain on the job
is a moral one, and if it is
necessary to return to the
United States at any time the
way is paid by ACTION.
An ACTION volunteer re­ceives
free medical care, life
insurance, paid vacation, a
small but comfortable living
allowance and each month
$75 is put into a U.S. bank.
"So at the end of a year
with VISTA the volunteer re­ceives
$900, or after two years
with the Peace Corps he re­ceives
$1,800 in get-adjusted
money which might be used
for going to grad school or to
buy a car or whatever,"
Senigsohn said.
A check cashing service was established
this summer for students wishing to cash
checks of $5, $10 or $15. The checks can be
cashed at the Auburn Union Desk, which is
temporarily located in the Haley Center
Lounge, from 10 a.m. to noon and 5-9 p.m.
Check cashing
Monday-Friday, 4. p.m. to 7 p.m. Satur­days,
and 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sundays. There is
a 10 cents service charge for each check
cashed and a student identification card or
driver's license is required for identifica­tion.
The check cashing service was ini-
—Scott Curry
tiated by the Interfraternity Council in con­junction
with the Student Government
Association and the Auburn Union. The ser­vice
was devised for the convenience of stu­dents
at times when they experience diffi­culty
cashing checks.
Two dining halls closing winter
The Women's Main Dining
Hall and Alumni Dining Hall
will be closed winter quarter
and women students will
have a chance to eat under a
new meal system at the War
Eagle Cafeteria in the Union
Building.
The new system, the
"scramble plan," will allow
women a better opportunity
to choose their meals each
day, according to Dr. Ben
Lanham, vice president of
the administration council.
The plan eliminates a long
line and provides a separate
area for each type of food, he
said. There will be a variety
of meats in one area, a
variety of vegetables in
another area and so on.
The women can pay each
time they have a meal or they
AU Bookstore may handle used books
By Melanie Brooks
Plainsman Staff Writer
One of the most prevalent problems
among college students is the high cost
of textbooks, according to L. E. Prater,
manager of the University Bookstore.
The University Bookstore in Haley
Center is designed to cater to the stu­dent's
needs. At this time, the Univer­sity
Bookstore is in .the process-of •
establishing a Book Bepartmejiti^fr••
fice and is attempting'to have al-Teiex---
Machine installed. A Telex Machine
would provide a direct hook-up with all
major and some minor publishing com­panies
and other college stores from
which used textbooks could be ob­tained,
Prater explained.
"Although University Bookstore has
not attempted to get very many used
books in the past," Prater said, "there
are now being plans made for a system
of handling used books and for the con­struction
of a counter."
In buying used books from students,
the standard procedure is to pay the
student 5Q,per cent of the actual retail
price of a new book. Then, in reselling
the book back to the students, the book­store
charges 75 per cent of the book's
retail price.
Prater said money could be saved by
students and the bookstores who buy
and resell used books. He also said it
was important for students to be care­ful
when reselling books to the book­stores
and to ask for the individual
prices of books instead of reselling
them for a one lump sum.
Just because a. book isn't bought
back by the store during one certain
quarter, doesn't mean the book isn't
wanted. Ifyou keep the book for a quar­ter
or even several quarters until it is
needed, you get more money for it
Prater said.
Panhellenic Council donates
$900 for area projects
The Panhellenic Council
has made contributions to­taling
$900 from its benevo­lence
fund, according to Deb
Lowe, Panhellenic presi­dent.
The Council voted to con­tribute
$150 to the Auburn
City School Emergency Fund
and $375 each to the Lee
County Council for De­pendent
and Neglected
Children and to the Alpha
Phi Omega Eagle Cage pro­ject.
The funds given to the
Emergency City School Fund
will be used to help provide
health services to indigent
children. The fund to the Lee
County Council will be used
to provide recreation equip­ment
for less fortunate child­ren.
The contribution to the
campus project of the Alpha
Phi Omega service frater­nity
is to help them meet a
goal of $10,000 needed to com­plete
the environmental
habitat for the University's
mascot, War Eagle IV.
The Panhellenic Council
Benevolence Fund is formed
through the contribution of
50 cents per member and
pledge of the 14 sororities on
campus. The fund was
created so that the sororities
collectively might offer
financial aid to the campus
and community where need­ed.

Free message service
transmits nation-wide
By Frank Whatley
Plainsman Staff Writer
With the widespread dis­content
arising from an in­crease
in telephone installa­tion
fees, only 10-15 Auburn
students per quarter have
made use of a way to send
short messages anywhere in
the world free.
A student using the
Military Affiliate Radio Sys­tem
(MARS) can have a mes­sage
of 25 words or less
transmitted anywhere in the
country by means of a net­work
of MARS stations
operating on specific military
frequencies.
Auburn has two stations.
One, sponsored by Naval
ROTC, is located in 104
Broun Hall; the other, run by
Army ROTC, operates out of
the Military Hangar.
Anyone interested in send­ing
a message may drop a
note containing the message
by either of the radio rooms
anytime the buildings are
open, said Richard Woerner,
2PB, chief radio operator of
Auburn's NROTC MARS.
Each MARS station bas
regular hours of operation,
ranging from only a few
hours a week to several hours
each night depending on
available manpower and the
number of message requests,
Woerner said.
When message requests are
taken, the MARS station
transmits the message at the
time the receiving town is
open.
The message is then either
telephoned to the home of the
addressee or delivered in per­son
by the MARS station in
that town.
MARS stations are located
throughout the country,
Woerner said, "and there is
no problem transmitting a
message to any area."
The NROTC MARS station
in Auburn can broadcast into
Tennessee, Georgia, Florida
and Mississippi. By stations
relaying message, Woerner
explained, "MARS can cover
the world."
But because MARS is af­filiated
with the military, all
messages to foreign coun­tries
must be cleared through
the Pentagon.
has recently acquired from
the federal government a
Heathkit 101 transceiver
(transmitter-receiver). "The
new equipment will not in­crease
the range," Woerner
said, "but will make the
station more dependable dur­ing
abnormal atmospheric
conditions."

Dorms set open-visitation

Women's residence halls
on campus will have open-visitation

they wish to have it at all,

said.
He said that, although
there was, theoretically, a
great deal of expensive equip­ment
given to NROTC
MARS, until the recent
acquisition, much of it was
virtually worthless because it
would not work.
The Heathkit 101 is cur­rently
being adjusted to the
correct frequency and is ex­pected
to be in operation this
week, Woerner said.
In an effort to make MARS
more available to the stu­dents,
Woerner said drop-boxes
for message requests
are being considered.
"In order to insure that ho
mistakes in the message
transmission occur, MARS
sends the verbatim message
by mail that will arrive at the
destination a few days later,"
he said.

Student credit union plan
stymied by lack of money
New debate team coach
plans for AU prowess
By David Nordness
Plainsman Staff Writer
Plans for a student credit union, as
proposed by the Student Government
Association, have come to a standstill.
The establishment of a student credit
union would provide students with a
place to save money and to obtain low
interest loans.
The formation of a credit union was
first proposed last year when Jerry
Batts was SGA president. The primary
obstacle encountered in establishing
the credit union was raising the initial
capital required.
The Student Senate committee in
charge of the project decided last
spring the best way to set up a credit
union for studentswould be to allow
them to join the already established
employe credit union on campus, Stu­dent
Senator Bill Al vis said. A proposal
was prepared and submitted to the cre­dit
union's board of directors summer
quarter.
The proposal would have allowed
students to participate as non-voting
members of the credit union. Dr. Paul
Budenstein, chairman of the board of
directors of the employe credit union,
said the proposal failed to meet the
board's approval.
Budenstein said the credit union's
federal charter would not permit a se­parate
status for students and admit­ting
students to the credit union on an
equal basis would be handing over con­trol
to the students.
Other problems would involve re­quiring
all students under 21 to have a
co-signer, which would allow even
more non-university employes into the
credit union.
Budenstein said, "A credit union for
students would necessarily be a high
risk venture because so few students
have a steady income and because they
are so transient."
Budenstein also said he was advised
of the serious difficulties encountered
with students defaulting upon loans,
especially small loans, by Darrel
Haskew, a federal credit union exam­iner
who recently studied the Universi­ty
of Florida student credit union.
Recent figures released by the De­partment
of Education show Alabama
to be sixth in the nation in student loan
defaults. During fiscal 1973 alone, col­lege
students in Alabama defaulted on
$1,896,414 in federal loans.
California, Texas, Colorado, Mary­land
and Minnesota are the only states
that have worse default ratings. Cali­fornia
leads with $24.4 million and
Texas is next with $8.9 million. Nation­ally
students defaulted on approxi­mately
$50,000,000 in loans last year.
Jimmie Bounds, coordinator of loans
and receipts in the student financial
aid office, attributed the high number
of defaults to the extremely large num­ber
of student loans made in Alabama
and the lower repayment scales often
found in the South.
Budenstein said, "The cost of collec­tion
of these defaulted payments would
drive the interest rates for borrowing
up and could conceivably threaten the
safety of the savings deposited." This
is presently the case at the University
of Florida and its federal charter is on
probation.
There are several alternatives to the
student credit union available to those
who qualify for financial aid. First is
the National Direct Federal Loan. This
allows the student a maximum of
$1,200 each school year with no repay­ments
while in school, a nine-month
grace period upon graduation and only
a three per cent interest charge.
The second type of loan is the Fed­eral
Insured Student Loan, in which
the university recommends the stu­dent
for a loan and the money is lent
through a bank, savings and loan or
credit union. This loan allows the stu­dent
a maximum of $2,500 each aca­demic
year with no repayments while
in school, a 12 month grace period and
seven per cent interest.
Budenstein said any student who re­ceives
a paycheck of any kind from Au­burn
is presently eligible to be a mem­ber
of the employe credit union. A stu­dent
Auburn employe can apply for a
loan the same as any other member.

publish the quality newspaper Auburn deserves. We
need help.
The Plainsman is the largest weekly newspaper in
Alabama and has won 15 consecutive Ail-American
ratings, the highest awarded by the Associated Col­legiate
Press. And we want to keep it that way.
We're looking for reporters, assistants to The

processed only on the basis of the person's ability,
males need not apply for this job), photographers,
copy desk and layout personnel and entertainment,
feature and sports writers—anyone willing to work.
And don't sweat it; you don't have to have any pre­vious
experience at all. We'll be more than happy to
train you. (The Plainsman, of course, i s an equal op­portunity
employer.) .
If you're interested, contact Managing Editor Jim­my
Johnson or Associate Editor Greg Lisby; both can

Auburn's new debate team
coach, Dr. John Stone, said
he has little hope of es­tablishing
Auburn as a de­bate
power this year, but said
his debating program is cal­culated
to produce long-term
results.
"I hope to lay the founda­tion
this year to establish
Auburn as a very reputable
debate team," Stone said.
The building of a debate
team is but one of the ele­ments
of Stone's debating
foundation. He said, "We
need to have a debating pro­gram
that does things
besides have a debate team.
I'd like to see a summer work­shop
held here for high
school debaters, tourna­ments
hosted by Auburn and
a recruiting program."
"Auburn s debate team
has everything going for it,"
Stone said. "Auburn sup­ports
the team by providing a
good budget and a professor
with whom debate is basic
and Auburn is already on the
roll of Delta Sigma Rho-Tau
Kappa Alpha national de­bate
honorary society."
"I've breathed, eaten and
slept debate ever since I
came to Auburn," Stone said.
When Stone arrived at
Auburn, only two debate
team members returned from
last year.
Stone comes from the Mid­west
where he was one of the
first to teach debate to third
graders. Holding the highest
degree conferred on a coach
by the National Forensics
League for his tutoring of
high school and college de­bate
teams, Stone began
work in the few weeks before
school started. Interested stu­dents
were recruited and re­search
was done on the topic
chosen to be debated this
year.
Though interested
students are still needed, a
dozen debaters busily are
weighing the pros and cons of
the contemporary to­pic—"
Should the federal
government own and utilize
the energy supply in this
country?" In fact, they have
just returned from their first
debate agianst the Univer­sity
of Kentucky at Lex­ington
Oct. 12.
Stone said his goal for this
year is having 12 debaters
who will return next year.
Stone is urging others who
are interested in debating to
join the team. "There are aca­demic
and social advantages
to participating in debate,"
he said. "Academically, not
only do you learn about the
particular topic you are de­bating,
but more important­ly,
you learn how to analyze,
how to support what you are
saying and how to think criti­cally.
"You become an architect
of argument. And of course,
there are the benefits of learn­ing
to speak on your toes in
front of an audience."'

Army, Navy and Air Force welcome women into ROTC programs
Some male Reserve Offi­cers
Training Corps stu­dents
may have been a bit
surprised this fall when wo­men
students sat beside them
in Army and Naval Science
courses.
For the first time on a na­tional
level, both Army
ROTC and Navy ROTC are
accepting women students in
their college and scholarship
programs. Air Force ROTC
has been accepting women in
the program on a regular
basis since 1970.
Following a trial program
conducted at 10 universities
throughout the country, Au­burn
Army ROTC was al-loted
a maximum quota of 20
women to enroll in military
science courses. None of the
positions were filled on open­ing
class day.
After a similar trial pro­gram,
NROTC was granted
three openings for women
students and by the end of the
first week of classes, had
their quota filled.
On a national level, the
Army this year offered 1,000
four-year scholarships with
20 specifically designated for
women. The Navy offered 16
four-year scholarships for
women.
Authorization for women
to enter the Army and Navy
ROTC programs was granted
by the respective Pentagon
departments in late summer,
leaving little time for ad-
Flying team begins
competition Nov. 4
The War Eagle Flying
Team is preparing for an­other
year of intercollegiate
competition as its competi­tion
begins Nov. 4 this quar­ter
with a meet with Georgia
Tech at Pine Mountain, GA.
"The team has a few pro­blems
though," according to
Eric Stroberg, 4AM.
He said that the only funds
going into the team come
from the members them­selves.
Alpha Eta Rho, Greek let­ters
which stand for AIR,
serves as an extracurricular
activity for students study­ing
or who are interested in
aviatin"
Strc^cig said that the
fraternity cannot furnish all
the money that is needed by
the War Eagle Flying Team.
Last year the team held the
Southeastern regional meet
here in Auburn at the Au-burn-
Opelika Airport.
The Southeastern regional
meet, Nov. 9, 10 and 11, is be­ing
hosted in Clearwater, FL
by St. Petersburg Junior Col­lege.
'Since we do not receive
money from the University
budget as other student
organizations do, we had to
go out and solicit funds from
local merchants to pay for the'
regional meet," Stroberg
said.
One of the captains of the
War Eagle Flying Team,
Gerald Grady, 3AM, ex­plained
that the team mem­bers
run a shuttle service to
and from the Auburn-
Opelika Airport during home
football game weekends. He
said the donations from the
service go into the expenses
for competition.
Grady explained that even
though the War Eagle Fly­ing
Team came in first in the
Southeastern region last year
in the name of Auburn, "We
didn't get any financial back­ing
from the University."
He explained that every
time the team goes to com­petition
or just practices,
there is a certain sum of
money involved.
When the team goes to the
regional competition in Flor­ida
in November they will
have to pay for most of the
cost out of their own pockets.
They will have to pay for
their transportation to and
from the meet, pay for the use
of airplanes during practice,
for the use of planes during
eliminations, for their room
and board, and pay for the
use of aircraft during com­petition.
Events during the intercol­legiate
meets include various
precision flying and flying
techniques.
Stroberg said that anyone
who is interested in flying or
skilled in flying may join the
team.
Co-op jobs available
in industrial areas
The Co-operative Educa­tion
Office has a large num­ber
of excellent job openings
available for freshmen,
sophomores and juniors,
according to Frank Vande-grift,
director. A large num­ber
of jobs begin winter quar­ter,
allowing the students to
be on campus fall and spring
quarters.
Presently, industry de­mand
for co-op students ex­ceeds
the supply in many
fields, and interested stu­dents
can choose from sev­eral
companies and loca­tions,
Vandegrift said.
Some of the curricula are
Building Construction, Avia­tion
Management, Aero­space
Engineering, Civil
Engineering, Business
Administration, Mathe­matics,
Chemical Engi­neering,
Pharmacy, Indus­trial
Engineering and Tex­tile
Management.
Co-oping allows students
to gain work experience in an
area closely related to their
academic studies.
Vandegrift pointed out
that co-ops are given
meaningful positions and
responsibility from the begin­ning.
Salaries are up and stu­dents'
earnings can help pay
for school expenses, he
added.
Aerospace engineering stu­dents
can choose jobs with
Eglin Air Force Base, Mar­shall
Space Flight Center,
Lockheed and others. Avia­tion
management majors can
select from Delta Airlines,
Montgomery Aviation and
Texas International Air­lines.
Business and accounting
majors are wanted by Flor­ida
Power and Light, Foster
Gran t.Marshall Space Flight
Center and East Alabama
Parts Distribution Com­pany.
Eglin and Patrick Air
Force bases want math
majors.
Civil engineering students
can go with.Alcoa, Chicago
Bridge, Conners Steel,
Daniels Construction, Har-bert
Construction, Rust En­gineering
and others.
Pharmacy majors can
work with Mobile Infirmary,
Walker Drugs, Inc., and Eas­tern
State Psychiatric Hospi­tal
in Tennessee. Textile
majors are wanted by West
Point Pepperell, Avondale
Mills, Evans and Black Car­pets.
Mechanical Engineering
students can co-op with
Southern Services, Dupont,
Pratt & Whitney and U.S.
Pipe.
Industry aids
All engineering
renovation effort
Three industrial firms
have made substantial
material gifts to Auburn to be
used in the renovation of a
structural testing laboratory
in the Department of Civil
Engineering.
Gifts valued at near
$13,000 have been provided
through the Chicago Bridge
and Iron Company, the U.S.
Pipe and Foundry Company
in Birmingham, and the Ala­bama
Engineering and Sup­ply
Company of Mont­gomery.
The gifts include a new
load-frame, piping and struc­tural
steel. These will be used
to modify the present
hydraulics lab and to install
an overhead monorail sys­tem,
according to Dr. Rex K.
Rainer, Department of Civil
Engineering head.
vance announcement of the
availability of ROTC to
women.
According to Lt. L. J.
McLain, assistant professor
of naval science and coordi­nator
of recruiting for the
NROTC college program, all
recruiting for the new Navy
program was handled on a lo­cal
level.
"We got the word out as
fast and as heavy as we
could," McLain said.
"We personally called
freshman girls living in Au­burn
to advise them of the
program and sent letters to
our Navy Sweethearts ask­ing
them to contact in­coming
freshman girls in
their hometowns and offer in­formation
on the NROTC
program for women," he
added.
Posters announcing the
opening of the NROTC pro­gram
to women students
were printed on campus and
distributed to all women's
dormitories.
"We went as extensively as
we could without any addi­tional
funds," he said.
Col. George G. Tucker Jr.,
commanding officer for
Army ROTC, said only mini­mal
advance publicity on the
women's Army ROTC
program was released by the
Department of the Army.
"We had a number of in­quiries
from women about
such a program last year,"
Tucker said. "But how much
interest is generated this year
remains to be seen."
Auburn was one of four ma­jor
universities in the nation
selected to participate in an
experimental women's Air
Force ROTC program in
1969—East Carolina, Drake
and Ohio State universities
being the others —and gra­duated
the first woman stu­dent
in the nation from the
AFROTC program in March
1970.
"On the basis of that trial
program," said Col.
Clements B. Merritt, com­manding
officer for
AFROTC, "women were
accepted into the Air Force
ROTC program at all of our
college detachments around
the country."
On the opening day for fall
classes at Auburn, women
students enrolled in
AFROTC numbered nine
freshmen, four juniors and
one senior.
The only senior, Sharon
Binnings, 4INM- is on a four-year
AFROTC scholarship
and will graduate in June
with a degree in industrial
management.
"We find that a lot of young
ladies come into the program
just to see what it's like, then
leave it," Merritt said.

Pansy-fied
Life's just too easy
for Auburn students
"Pansy-fied, that's what Auburn is
now. You've just got it too easy." He
slapped his hand on the table to em­phasize
his point and then broke out
laughing.
The occasion was a long, rambling

rare moods when the recent graduate
sees just what is wrong with his alma
mater.
Together, we came to the conclusion
that life at Auburn is too convenient
now. Auburn's getting pansy-fied.
There just aren't enough little trials
left in student life to form tough charac­ters
and the skills to survive. Even a
pansy can survive now.
Take football-ticket ordering, for
example. Before the days of pre-order-ing,
there were only two ways to buy
student football tickets: stand in line
and stand in line. Usually you had to do
both.
Students stood in lines that stretched
from ticket windows to the street and
around. They stood for hours in driv­ing
rain and blazing sun for the
privilege of seeing Auburn football.
Nowadays, a few marks on a card
and a few minutes in the fall is all
that's needed for upperclassmen to get
tickets; only freshmen must stand in
line, and these lines aren't very long.
Convenient? Yes. But character-building?
No. Auburn's getting pansy-
Red.
The construction of Haley Center
opened up a whole new era in pansy-fication.
Thousands of students now
have all their classes under Haley's one
roof, and seldom get to walk long dis­tances
in chilling rain.
Giving the English Department a lot
of space in Haley Center ended another
one of the trials that used to make Au­burn
students tough—classes in the
Shop Buildings.
The ill-designed classrooms were
stuffy, beat-up and poorly lighted. The
class many students had there was
freshman comp., a character-builder in
itself.
Nowadays, only the teaching is a
trial, with Haley Center's environ­ment
generally bearable and, at any
rate, far preferable to that of the old
shop buildings.
Even washing clothes isn't much of a
character-builder any more, with the
advent of well-built air-conditioned
and heated laundromats. As recently
as 1970, going to the laundromat meant
freezing in the winter and fighting off
mosquitoes in the summer in most of
Auburn.
Just think of all the Auburn students
who:
—never took a genuine "War Eagle"
pill from the infirmary, instead of the
varied medicines they have now.
—never went to a basketball game in
the old crowded "Barn," instead of
spacious Memorial Coliseum.
—never heard their life being
gambled with during a draft lottery.
Mass pansy-fication, that's what it
is.
My brother even thinks it's too easy
for the campus Casanovas: "There are
so many more girls around—what,
with late curfews, and ID permission,
and the breakdown of morals, and the
Pill, ya' just got it too easy. . ."
There is, however, one remaining
personal trial that may keep Auburn
from turning into a weak, completely
pansy-fied campus—the parking and
traffic problem.
Judging from the speed of the Uni­versity's
machinery to deal with the
problems, it's likely that we will be
dodging one another in cars, on bi­cycles
and on foot for a long time to
come. Many of us will be racking up the
miles we walk, too, going to classes
from the cars we park halfway to
Lochapoka.
Maybe there's hope yet.

• Our opinion
WEGL power increase slowed for shady reasons
WEGL-FM's request for permission
to increase its transmitter's power is
apparently lost for the time being in the
University bureaucracy. And we think
the reason it is lost is a sad one.
Several local radio station owners
apparently have pulled enough in­fluence
on the University Board of
Trustees to stall the measure for the
time being.
fhere are of course, several difficul­ties
with the power increase, which
would increase WEGL's range by
roughly 20 miles. To increase its range,
WEGL would have to revise its pro­gramming
to get the approval of the
Federal Communications Commision
(FCC).
The FCC has shown a reluctance to
allow non- commercial stations such as
WEGL to compete directly with com­mercial
radio stations, which have the
handicap of not being subsidized.
Only when the non-commercial sta­tion
can offer public services to the
community that would not otherwise
be offered is the FCC likely to approve
an expansion in its operation. For
WEGL, offering these public services
would greatly alter programming con­tent.
The campus station would have to air
more educational material, diluting its
heavily musical programming with a
considerable amount of lectures, inter­views
and cultural material. This
would unquestionably damage
WEGL's present popularity among Au­burn
students.
Dr. Hal Drake, WEGL faculty ad­viser,
has a valid point: "I am not sure
the Auburn student body is sophis­ticated
enough to accept WEGL's be­coming
a truly educational station." If
a power increase means less music,
then most students will not approve,
and WEGL's influence will be
weakened, not strengthened.
There are other problems with the
power boost, such as the high cost per
student of reaching those who live in
outlying areas. However, the money to
increase the power is available from
concessions profits.
None of the openly discussed objec­tions
are as important as the real rea­son
the request for increased power is
being stalled. There is evidence that
outside presure was applied to mem­bers
of the Board of Trustees forcing
them to ignore the issue. Reliable
sources indicate that political strings
were pulled by an area station to block
passage of the request.
We appreciate the attitude of John
Smollon, WJHO station manager.
Smollon said he welcomed a power
change, because the competition would
improve his own station.
WAUD station manager Elmer
Salter opposes the power increase, say­ing
he feels the money could be better
spent at Auburn. He has in the past
offered his own radio station's facili­ties
as training grounds for Auburn
students, and he has praise for the job
WEGL currently is doing.
Glenn Buxton, general manager of
WAOA and WFRI-FM in Opelika also
has voiced displeasure over the in­crease
but refuses to give his reasons.
Of all area stations, WFRI has a for­mat
most similar to WEGL.
We fear that whoever is opposing the
WEGL increase has slowed its pro­gress
with under-the-table manipula­tion
and that they are considering only
their private, personal gain.
Rethinking the alumni myth
"Think what the alumni would say"
is a common reaction of University ad­ministrators
when they're looking for
reasons to turn down progressive
changes for Auburn. All alumni, ap­parently,
are opposed to change—or so
the administration would have us be­lieve.
Unfortunately, this argument often

— but welcome
Presidents Nixon's decision to turn
over the Watergate tapes comes as a big
relief. The crisis that was averted
would undoubtedly have torn further
an already divided nation.
A question that has not yet been ade­quately
answered,however, is the ques­tion
of why Nixonwaited so long to turn
them over. Had he acted correctly in the
first place, the long struggle over the
tapes could have been avoided and at
least three much-needed public ser­vants
would still be on the job in
Washington.
Hopefully, the tapes will allow a
speedy disposition to the rest of the
Watergate case and, as Nixon would
say, allow us to get on with "the busi­ness
of the people."
goes unopposed. All too many students
think of alumni only as those nice old
men who come back to Auburn at
Homecoming to walk around the cam­pus
and marvel at the changes.
In putting together this week's
Homecoming section, however, it oc­curred
to us that alumni are a remark­ably
diverse group. Too, many
thousands of alumni who have grad­uated
in the past few years probably
have more understanding for the stu­dent
position of issues than the ad­ministration's
position.
Most of the alumni that have grad­uated
since 1965, for example, are
under 30. What would these alumni
think about the proposed open-air sta­dium
concert or the liberalization of wo­men's
rules?
We feel their views would be greatly
different from the strict conservative
yiews often attributed to all alumni by
University administrators.
Even the older alumni are a diverse
enough group that it is presumptuous
for University administrators to auto­matically
assume they're opposed to
change.
The next time alumni opposition to
University reforms is offered as an
argument against changes, we intend
to challenge the myth that all alumni
are opposed to them. And we're con­fident
thousands of open-minded Au­burn
alumni will back us up.

'Bama deserves support
until Dec 1, that is
THE AUBURN PUINSEUM
Any football fan at Auburn who bold­ly
states, "I hope Alabama wins," is im­mediately
subject to being called a trai­tor,
even though he adds "except when
they play Auburn."
Last Saturday, there may have been
more people pulling for Tennessee
than Alabama in their televised
game. Even at that, the feeling against
Alabama was not as high as in past
games, because many students still
wince when they hear the number 21
and are reminded of Tennessee's vic­tory
over Auburn this year.
Yet another
nickel is lost
I have a few observations to share
with all those students and faculty who
patronize vending machines on cam­pus.
Today I was short-changed a nickel
by a vending machine on campus; nor­mally
I would write the loss off to bad
luck, or to modern machinery in gen­eral.
But later in the day I observed
another student being short-changed a
nickel — by a coin-changer, no less!
Nickels do not mean much to most
people, but to vending machine owners,
Another more vivid example was the
University of Alabama-University of
California game. How could anyone
pull for California, unless they knew

a thousand such nickels in a day add
$20 of unexpected, or perhaps ex­pected,
profits to their accounts.
At the very least, vending machines
should be equipped with a means of re­porting
over-charges, in the expec­tation
of receiving a prompt refund.
Telephone companies do not hesi­tate
to refund a lost dime, even when it
costs them eight cents for the postage
stamp.
Going further, I would like to see a
system of quality control instituted for
all vending machines, independent of
the owners. Otherwise, we will all con­tinue
to take our chances on losing
"just a nickel."
Roger Elmore, 6BA
someone that went there, or actually
liked the state or school? Most proba­bly,
unsportsmanlike Auburn people
were not "for" California, they were
just "against" Alabama.
I cannot understand why so many
students like to see the University of
Alabama football team lose. To these
students, it does not really matter
whom Alabama plays, just so long as
'Bama's opponent wins. The Auburn-
Alabama football game spirit is car­ried
a little too far when it turns into a
12-month rivalry.
The University of Alabama repre­sents
the state of Alabama when they
pi ay any one except us. Shouldn't we, as
citizens of Alabama, support them
against teams from other states?
Many people at Auburn say no, be­cause
they are afraid that their
"friends" from the University of
Alabama will brag about their great
victories. So what? Auburn students do
just that. Auburnites have been boast­ing
of their 17-16 win over Alabama for
11 months now.
Isn't it time for a change? Support
the University of Alabama now that
they have a chance to be number one in
the nation. It sure would mean a lot to
the state. Throw away yur pagan self­ish
pride and until Dec. 1 — "Yea Ala­bama."

'Search and destroy9
Reader protests stadium security
At the Auburn-LSU game, my wife was refused
admission to the game if she did not let the security
guard search her purse.
She told him that the purse was private property
and that he could not legally search it. He stated,
"The stadium is private property also, and I have the
right to search anyone I choose."
As it turned out, rather than miss the game she let
him look into the purse, where she had "concealed"
three cans of diet cola (for medical reasons she can­not
drink the cokes at the game.) The topper of all top­pers
was when he told her she could not enter the sta­dium
with them in her possession, stating no reason
for his hasty decision.
Not wanting to miss the game, she threw them on
the ground, only to have them hastily picked up by
the "all-powerful" security guard who kept them.
Since this incident I've talked with Coach Lee Hay-ley
about the security guards that are hired by the
Athletic Department. He said that the guards were
supposed to be "diplomatic" about the searching of
anyone at the games, but they could not refuse admis­sion
to anyone because of a refusal to be searched.
I know they are trying to cut down on the booze con­sumption
at the games, but who has the right to tell
anyone they can't bring in an unopened can of diet
cola that the doctor prescribed?
Why such a hassle over something like this when
the visitors and alumni sit outside the stadium before
the game and get drunk as hell or bring their booze in
with them, with no "search and destroy" tactics be­ing
used by the guards? Talk about a double stand­ard!
The students at Auburn get hassled at concerts and
football games and we are damned tired of it. The stu­dents
of Auburn University are Auburn University.
We're not going to destroy Auburn's lily-white
image of being a conservative school, we're here to get
an education, but also have a good time while we do it.
I hardly think that three cans of diet cola could
intoxicate anyone. The security guards have a job to
do, but refusing admittance because of something
like this is not one of them.

Concert-goers
claim 'ripoff
in ticket sales
This is a letter from a group of stu­dents
that were involved in a very bad
"rip-off the Thursday night of the El­ton
John concert.
After a big hassle at the concert with
the Coliseum manager, a group on the
front row decided that other students
needed to be informed of the frequent
mix-ups in the seating arrangements
so they won't be surprised at future con­certs.
. The day Elton John tickets went on
sale, a group of four went to the box of­fice
to wait for sales to begin at 1 p.m.
The group arrived at 3:30 a.m. and
actually camped out.
The next person to help form the line
arrived at 6:30 a.m. and from then on,
the line began to grow continuously.
About 9:30 a.m. the entertainment
director came out and after a short con­versation
we were told we could have
front row center seats if we wanted
them.
Then 1 p.m. arrived and sales began.
The head ticket salesman explained in
explicit detail the order in which the
seats were to be numbered the night of
the concert and after the confirmation
of three other employes we purchased
center stage seats.
However, the night of the concert
when we went for our seats, they were
in front of the speaker and not center
stage. There were at least two couples
on the front row that no one remem­bered
standing in line the day of the
sales.
It seemed strange that they should
sit center stage when they did not even
stand in line. The numbers on the first
four rows on the floor were completely
opposite those as previously stated and
sold.
The Coliseum manager was very
rude and unsympathetic about the
situation his staff had brought about.
It seems he should have made arrange­ments
instead of making threats to
have us escorted out because we paid
for seats we did not receive.
The concert was very good and prob­ably
the best Auburn has seen in years.
We just feel that seating should be set­tled
the day of the sales, not the day of
the concerts.

1971 'confrontation'
Graduate objects to use of picture
I was recently reading the Oct. 4 is­sue
of The Auburn Plainsman when, to
my dismay, I saw a 1971 picture run
with what was purported to be a news
article concerning the Open Air Forum.
Having had little to do (how little will
be apparent later) with the Open Air
Forum, I anxiously read the article to
see what possible congruence the pic­ture
had with the topic. I found it had as
little to do with it as I had with its re­ferent,
though in a different way.
Let me digress momentarily to
ponder with you the situation as it pre­sents
itself. This is the second time I
have seen my picture in the paper since
I graduated.
The first time was in a literary sec­tion
while my good friend Thorn Bots-ford
was Editor. At that time he ap-pologized
to me profusely for what
could have been an unhappy situation
for the newspaper.
This second use again occurs in such
a situation. Let us see why.
It is my understanding that in gen­eral,
a picture is to be used only in such
instances as its use is newsworthy.
This is particularly true with regard to
the use of names with such pictures.
In this case, a picture of five males
standing or sitting, one behind a
rostrum (notably not at the Open Air
Forum) without a single word or
gesture being exchanged, labeled a
"confrontation," and taken in 1971; we
can hardly find newsworthy content.
In fact if it were not for the mis­representation
of facts accompanying
the picture (loosely termed in this letter
'article') there would be no connection
to the tonic at all.
Let us analyze some of the article's
faults. "The forum was constructed
after confrontation (sic) between 200
students and then President of the SGA
Jimmy Tucker on May 5, 1971." This
sentence is true but only if 'after' is de­fined
in its purest temporal sense.
Unfortunately we are led to define it
in a causal sense by what follows. We
have a statement that I was speaking
at 11 a.m., that the speech ran over into
class time, and that there was a heated
argument with Tucker (presumably be­tween
Tucker and myself but from the
context it is not clear).
Although not convinced-of the truth
of these claims, we can assume them as
true for the sake of argument and look
at the phrase following that concern­ing
the argument, "but soon 200 stu­dents
staged a short sit-in at SGA of­fices
in the Union Building."
This again is true if read in the log­ical
connective sense of 'but'; however,
if read as a causal connection it is false.
In point of fact, the sit-in occurred after
some discussion of a speech concern­ing
Auburn's discipline code which
many thought violated student's civil
rights.
The discussion during the sit-in
mainly concerned the interest expres­sed
by the Student Body in getting
something done about discipline. It
was held in the Union Building be­cause
Student Government re­presented
the "proper channels."
ACLU 'not left-wing9 group
As members of the Auburn Universi­ty
Chapter of the American Civil Liber­ties
Union (ACLU), we feel an obliga­tion
toward the students of Auburn
University. Why? Because ACLU is a
chartered campus organization and
can provide many services for Auburn
students which have, in the past, been
"swept under the rug." Thus, the main
purpose of this letter is to inform stu­dents
of the ACLU services which are
available on request.
In the past, ACLU has un­fortunately
been labeled a "left-wing"
organization. No doubt, many stu­dents
and administrators harbor the
misconception that ACLU members
are "radicals" seeking to undermine
the activities of Auburn University's
programs and policies.
This is a misleading image and one
which we, as responsible students, are
hoping to dissolve. We wish to help any
student whose civil rights have been
violated, despite the magnitude of his
problem.
In three years of service to Auburn,
ACLU has centered its activities
around student concerns: problems
arising from dealings with women's
and university's discipline commit­tees,
voter registration in Lee County,
Auburn city election date change to al­low
students more voice in city govern­ment,
promotion of the Equal Rights
Amendment for Auburn women, and
finally, revision of in-state registra­tion
requirements.
Students who wish to contact ACLU
about any violation of civil liberties
should call 826-4060, 826^6813 or 821-
1391. We hope you will take advantage
of the ACLU services available to you
upon request.
Members of ACLU
Beth Patton, chairwoman
After the appropriate amount of ad­ministrative
back-peddling, Tucker
agreed to hold an open discussion con­cerning
discipline that night. The sit-in
then ended.
So where's the Open Air Forum come
in? Okay, here it come (sic). The article
states that President Philpott "ap­pointed
a committee to study a
proposed forum to be centrally located
but far enough from classcooms(sic) so
as not to disturb classes."
Unfortunately, the article doesn't
say when. At any rate, I attended a
meeting where Dean Hobbs presented
his plan, at the written invitation of the
•committee. To tell the truth, I don't
know why they bothered to hold the
meeting except in pretense of being
liberal.
Every objection, including one to the
effect that the Open Air Forum would
not be used in the proposed area, ef­fected
(sic) Hobbs like the proverbial
water on a duck's back. So it came to
pass, objections and all, just like the
pretty drawings Hobbs had projected it.
That was my first and last contact with
the Open Air Forum.
If you really want to write an article
about the history of the Open Air
Forum, I have a hint for you. Ask the
administration about those doors the
people in the Art Department put to­gether
at some expense and
administrative consternation, never to
be used.
As Managing Editor of a respected
philosophical journal, I know that you
want to maintain high journalism
standards and retain the All-Amer-ican
rating. In that light, I strongly
suggest that you use only pictures
which are both current and news­worthy.
If you are hard up for pictures of
"long-hair-hippie-types" just tell your
photographers to keep clicking their
SLRs. They're bound to get somebody
in focus who is not in cahoots with the
ROTC-barber coalition.
Remember as long as they are in
focus you can use any part of any pic­ture
for any purpose —your practice in
the past proves it!
James E. Mengel
Class of '71
The picture at issue was run to illus­trate
the historical context of the Open
Air Forum, in conjunction with the
historical tone of the story. The
Plainsman will continue to provide
background on current-stories in this
manner and makes no apology in this
case.

Philpott appoints Stuart
new research associate
Nina L. Stuart has been ap­pointed
research associate in
the Department of Agricul­tural
Economics and Rural
Sociology, according to Pres.
Harry M. Philpott.
Stuart earned her B.S. and
M.S. degrees in sociology
from Mississippi State Uni-versity.
Prior to her appointment at
Auburn, she served as a grad­uate
assistant and research
assistant at Mississippi State
University. She formerly was
employed as a legal
secretary- in the Panama
Canal Zone.
Men's Intramurals asked
for $300 for electrical scoring
equipment for the Fencing
Club and listed other
increased needs at $3,400.
This figure is in addition to
$31,000 allocated last spring.
The committee heard a
request from Glomerata Edi­tor
Larry Parker who asked
for $2,374.94 to cover
unexpected expenses. The
Glomerata's current budget
is $46,740.
The additional money
would be spent for the dark
room, photo supplies and
photo equipment. Other
equipment that would be pur­chased
would be to replace a
stolen electric typewriter and
three drafting tables, Parker
said.
The War Eagle Girls and
Plainsmen requested $500 to
cover the "unexpected" cost
of getting uniforms for the
official hosts and hostesses
of Auburn, Miss Auburn, and
Mrs. Auburn. The group was
budgeted $900 last spring.
The National Aeronautics and Space
Administration's recently completed Skylab
II mission was a technological milestone in
man's conquest of outer space and an
Auburn co-operative education student
played a part in that achievement.
David C. Allen, 4GMH, has worked with
the Skylab project since June, 1971, at the
Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville.
Allen.drum major of the Auburn marching
band, worked in Huntsville during summer
and winter quarters and returned to his stu­dies
and band activities on campus during
the fall and spring terms.
The co-operative education program at Au­burn
allows students like Allen to alternate a
quarter of major- related work with a quar­ter
of academic studies throughout their
college careers.
Allen spent his first summer at the
Marshall Center in the simulation branch of
the Computation Laboratory patching in
computer circuits and working with the hard­ware
on projects related to a multiple dock­ing
adapter being developed by NASA.
During his other work quarters, Allen dealt
with the designing of programs and comput­er
circuitry for the Skylab project.
One of the most fascinating aspects of his
work last summer was watching the closed
circuit television pictures of the astronauts
aboard the Skylab, Allen said.
"We saw a lot of things commercial tele­vision
did not see," he said. "We saw the pro­cess
of the astronauts taking a shower in a
bag—just letting the water bounce around
and hit them and we even saw the spiders
spinning their webs."
Allen said he felt his work at the Marshall
Center was so beneficial, he asked for an ex­tension
of an additional work quarter so that
his training might be utilized.
Toilet poper
disappearance
causes rationing
The disappearance of large
quantities of toilet paper at
the men's dormitories at
Samford University has
forced the University to
begin toilet paper rationing.
Last week, Charles Taylor,
director of men's housing at
Samford, said the high price
of toilet paper and the
mysterious disappearance of
large quantities has forced a
change in distribution pro­cedure.
Taylor said the total loss
has been more than 400 rolls
at a cost of more than
$100. "This is a loss that the
residence halls cannot conti­nue
to absorb because the
price of toilet paper is going
up more than $4 a case," he
said.
The new rationing pro­cedure
requires that the toi­let
paper will be placed in
each dorm room on the same
day each week as needed for
the two residents, according
to a letter released by Taylor.

LINDERMAN LEAVES A TRAIL OF YELLOW JACKETS BEHIND
Tiger running back returned to lineup against Tech

Thurs., Oct. 25, 1973 Section Two

The big test
This week the Auburn Tigers take on the Cougars from the
University of Houston. It is a big game, no question about it.
The Cougars are undefeated and it is the Tigers big chance to
make a move in the ratings. -
The game is a big one for another reason too. It will be the
first time since the late forties that Auburn will start a fresh­man
at quarterback. That quarterback is Chris Vacarella.
Vacarella a 6'3" 190 pounder was an Ail-American quar­terback
last year at Ramsey High in Birmingham where he
ran for more than 800 yards and also passed for another
1000. He also played defensive back and punted for a 41 yard
average.
Vacarella was offered scholarships to many places in­cluding
Notre Dame, and every school in the Southeastern
Conference. His reason for picking Auburn was two fold.
"I chose Auburn over the others because I liked the people
and spirit and also because I thought Auburn needed me the
most."
Before he came to Auburn, Vacarella said, "I would like to
play quarterback since I have played it since the fourth
grade, but I'll play wherever they need me."
Auburn started the season with several healthy quarter­backs
but after the Oregon State opener the tailback posi­tion
was in doubt, so Chris played tailback in the games
while practicing at both positions.
It was after the Mississippi game that Coach Jordan
decided to play Chris strictly at quarterback. "He's young
but if he can do the job we won't hold him back," said Jor­dan.
Well, it was near the end of the LSU nightmare that
Vacarella made his first appearance for Auburn at quarter­back
and with the team trailing 20-6 the fans rose to their feet
expecting the next "Pat Sullivan" to save the Tigers.
But instead he looked just like what he was, a freshman.
He blew a snap and then had two passes slapped violently
back in his face. It was a very auspious beginning for the
young quarterback to say the least.
The next week though against Georgia Tech Chris got a
better chance to show what he could do. After Wade Whatley
injured his shoulder Chris came in and although keeping the
ball on the ground led the Tigers to ten points and preserved
the lead.
The big play however, that showed the kind of hustle and
desire that makes Vacarella a winner came on the first play
of the fourth quarter. After handing off the ball to Chris Lin-derman
the tailback fumbled the ball into the end zone.
There was Vacarella 18 yards downfield blocking for his tail­back
as he pounced on the ball for a touchdown.
Compared to Sullivan
Offensive coach Gene Lorendo compares Vacarella to Sul­livan
in several ways. "He and Pat have a lot of the sameat-tributes,
pressure doesn't bother Chris and he likes to get in
the game."
Lorendo added, "He has a lot of confidence and he's liked
by all the players. He compliments the players and keeps
them fired up."
This week is a tough week for any quarterback to start
expecially a freshman, since Houston will be a heavy fa­vorite
based on a powerful offense quaranteed to score points
and a strong fast defense that likes to chew up quarterbacks.
It will not only be the big test for Vacarella but also several
other fine freshman and sophomores players. It is ironic that
Coach Jordan who once talked out so much against letting
freshmen play now must depend on them to save the Au­burn
season.
Other freshmen that will be starting include Bill Evans
and Dave Ostrowski on the offensive line. Add to that soph­omores
Chuck Fletcher, Rick Neel and Steve Stanaland and
things look great for the future, but what about Saturday?

See Mitzi drop the football.
See Mitzi pick up the football
and run for 25 yards. It was
that kind of day. See Chris
drop the football. See another
Chris fall on it for a touch­down.
It was that kind of day
too. In short, Saturday was a
day when nothing could go
wrong for the Tigers, as they
wrecked Georgia Tech 24-10.
It was a day when every­thing
seemed to go Auburn's
way. For example, early in
the game Auburn got called
for roughing the kicker, but
Tech was also penalized for
spiking the football. Later,
however, Tech roughed Au­burn's
punter which kept an
Auburn drive alive.
It was a day that saw a re­surgence
of the Auburn of-'
fense and if not for several
fumbles, the score might
have been more. Wade
Whatley who starttJ the
game at quarterback hit 5 of 7
passes for 103 yards, 43 of
which came on a touchdown
pass in the second quarter to
Rob Spivey.
Tech who had already
scored on a 36 yard field goal
by Cam Bonifay came right
back and scored on a 22 yard
paws from Jim Stevens to
Jim Robinson, making the
score 10-7.
However this was a dif­ferent
Auburn offense from
the one of past weeks and
after a Tech punt they drove
35 yards in four plays, to take
the lead at halftime.
It was on this drive that
weird things began to hap­pen.
Mitzi Jackson, playing
his first game since Oregon
State, picked up an errant
Whatley pitchout on a se­cond
down and 19 yards to go,
reversed his field and raced
25 yards to the Tech two yard
line picking up a first down,
and setting the stage for his
own touchdown plunge.
Jackson who rushed for 86
yards in 17 carries was not
the only runner returning to
the Auburn lineup after an
absence, number 29 Chris
Linderman who had a big
day similar to those he
thrilled Tiger fans with last
season on, rushing for 73
yards in just 15 carries.
Probably the biggest play
of the game for the Tigers in­volved
Linderman although
he would probably like to for­get
it. On the first play of the
fourth quarter Linderman
went off tackle and after rac­ing
to the Tech five yard line
he fumbled into the end zone
and the race for the ball was
on. Coming up with the ball
and the touchdown unbeliev­ably
was quarterback Chris
Vacarella who was down-field
blocking for his tail­back.
Although the offense
looked great picking up 321
yards th Tiger defense had
their problems. Although,
they too came up with the big
play.
Tech who was averaging
153 yards per game passing
hit the Tigers for 249 yards
through the air. They also
picked up an additional 106
yards on the ground for a
total offense of 355 yards.
The defense,, however, did
make several big plays. In
the second quarter with Tech
driving and less than a
minute to play, defensive end
Liston Eddins recovered a
Cleo Johnson fumble at the
Auburn 8 yard line.
Later in the game line­backer
Ken Bernich made a
diving interception to halt
another Tech Drive and in
the closing moments of the
game when a touchdown
would have put Tech back in >
the contest, linebacker Ken- \
ny Burks intercepted a Rudy
Allen pass in the end zone.
"It goes without saying that
we moved the ball better to­day
than we have all year.
Needless to say we are
happy to get back in the win
column," said coach Jordan.
Jordan has got plenty of.
With the University of Hous­ton
coming to help the Tigers
celebrate homecoming festi­vities
the best thing for Au-
Auburn supporters would
be for Oral Roberts to pass
through town. Jordan's 20-2
homecoming record is on the
line. .
"This is the worst season
we've had as far as i injuries
are concerned snce I've been
at Auburn," Jordan said.
"However, we learned a long
time ago that injuries are
par of the game and you have
to regroup and continue on."
Taking a look down the
ward, we see that five Tigers
who started last week in the
24-10 win against Georgia
Tech will (or could) miss
Saturday's game.
For starters, Wade What­ley
who was showing confi­dence
that earned him the
Most Valuable Player tro­phy
in last year's Gator Bowl,
is expected to miss at least
the next two games. Whatley
left the Tech game midway
through the third quarter,
handing the reins over to
freshman Chris Vacarella
but not before he completed
five of. seven passes for 103
yards and one touchdown, a
43 yard bomb to tight end
Rob Spivey. Spivey himself
was playing with eight
stitches in his foot.
Rusty Fuller saw action in
only 11 plays before he re­tired
for the day with a pulled
hamstring muscle and his
status is "very doubtful".
Roverback Mike Flynn is
expected to be out of action at
least four weeks with a knee
injury, paving the way for
back was already playing
with a broken hand. Now he
has a shoulder injury to ac­company
it. His availability
is questionable.
One ray of hope last week
was the return of tailback
Mitzi J>ackson,who ran the
ball 17 times for 86 yards and
one touchdown. That per­formance
was his first since
the opening tilt of the sea­son.
Also Jordan hopes that
freshman sensation Sedrick
Mclntyre will be ready for
action Saturday. He too has
been idle since the frst of the
season.
If having a crippled team is
not enough, Houston's
currently ranked 12th in the
nation and is coming direct­ly
from a big 30-7 win over
Miami whic' upset Texas in
their first gt me of the year
and nearly repeated with a
win over Oklahoma.
"Auburn has a great in­centive
tradition and we ex­pect
60 minutes of tough foot­ball.
We've had good effort
this year so far and we'll
have to have it again for Au­burn
or we"ll lose," Cougar
coach Bill Yeoman said by
phone from his Houston
office.
"They (Auburn) got some
of their offense back when
Jackson returned. Our defen­sive
unit and kicking game
looked sharp against Miami,
I hope it holds up," Yeoman
added.
Houston is a new member
of the Southwest Con­ference,
(added in '71) but will
not be able to play for the
championship until 1976 be­cause
college schedules are
set up far in advance.
The Cougars have finished
in the top 20 team in the na­tion
six out the last seven
years, not counting this sea­son.
They have beaten Rice,
South Carolina, Mississippi
State, San Diego State, Vir­ginia
Tech and Miami in that
order and have played four of
their last five games on the
road, so traveling doesn't
hurt the Cougars.
Houston is famous for its
Veer-T offense, a variation of
the Wishbone triple option,
developed by Darrel Royal of
Texas. Royal installed the
Wishbone for specific use
against Houston and stuck
with it.
One of the halfbacks of the
Wishbone is a flanker in the
Veer offense, leaving only
two setbacks. Unlike the
Wishbone quarterback, D . C.
Nobles (Cougar quarter­back)
never knows what op­tion
he will take until he
reaches the line of
scrimmage.
"We know Houston is
blessed with a lot of speed afd
talent at the skilled posi­tions.
They are a home run
type team that can kill their
opponents with the big plays.
We've just got to get more
players ready for Saturday,"
Jordan said.
Jordan surprised many by
starting a pair of freshman to
add spark to the offensive
line. Dave Ostrowski, whose
father was a star at Notre
Dame and Bill Evans, a high
school AU-Ameriican out of
Montgomery responded with
fine performances. Lynn
Johnson, another freshman
played about a half and
graded well also.
Vacarella is expected to get
the starting nod at quarter­back
for Saturday's game
which kicks off at 1:30.
Tickets are still plentiful for
the game.

Junior Varsity falls to Georgia
By Don Willingham
Plainsman Sports Writer
Although the sun shined
bright in Athens, it was a
cloudy day for Auburn. An
awesome Georgia running at­tack
amassed over 300 yards
in handing the Tiger Cubs
their first defeat of the year,
27-12, Monday. A sputtering
offense and a big play de­fense,
very reminiscent ofthe
varsity team, was not enough
to hold back the Bulldog as­sault.-
The game began with Geor­gia
running at will through
the Auburn defense. Two
long drives, 80 yards and 76
yards, climaxed by Rayfield
Williams' 10 and 5 yard runs,
quickly made a 14-0 score just
moments into the second
quarter.
But Auburn refused to sur­render,
and with the follow­ing
kickoff marched 87 yards
in 13 plays to score. Thedrive
included two 15 yard set­backs
from clipping penal­ties.
Tailback Mike Henley
gained most of the yardage
• and also scored the points on
a fourth down, one yard
plunge. The kick was wide
and with 3:55 remaining in
the half, the score stood 14-6
in favor of Georgia.
The Bullpups wasted little
time in an attempt to score
more points. A 21 yard carry
followed by a 15 yard dash
moved the ball to the Auburn
28. But a second down pass
with just seconds left on the
clock was broken up by Dan­ny
Arnold at the Auburn 12,
forcing Georgia into a field
goal attempt. The kick was
blocked by Harry Hopkins as
the first half came to a close
with the Tigers trailing 14-6.
The second half started out
like a replay ofthe first. Geor­gia
took the kickoff and
traveled 63 yards in nine
plays. On a third down and
four situation, Al Poward
broke loose for 30 yards and
later scored from the one. The
extra point was good and
Georgia now led 21-6.
On the opening play fol­lowing
an Auburn punt, a
Georgia fumble was re­covered
by Danny Arnold at
the Bullpup 23. Henley then
gained 11 yards down to the
12 yard line for a Tiger first
down. Three plays could
manage only six yards, and
on fourth down and four from
the six, Auburn quarterback
Phil Gargis bootlegged if for
the score. A Two point con­version
attempt failed as a
Gargis pass was incomplete.
The Tigers held and Geor­gia
did likewise, then a 61
yard punt by Auburn's Steve
Trucks put the Bulldogs in
the hole. The Auburn de­fense
then rose to the occa­sion
and forced another punt.
What was nearly the fourth
Georgia kick of the game to
be blocked, traveled only 27
yards giving the Baby Ti­gers
the ball at the Bulldog 42
as the fourth quarter had just
begun.
The outlook and momen­tum
ofthe game has changed
and it appeared that Auburn
would score and be backgjjn
the contest. Gargis nit
Mitch :h Downey for 14 yard,
then Maze for six. On a third
and two situation, a pitchout
went astray and Georgia re­covered
at the 22 with 9:53
left in the game.
The Auburn defense held
again and another Georgia
punt gave the Tigers the ball.
After movine to the 45, Gar­gis
was hit for a nine yard
loss, and on the next play was
intercepted at midfield and
returned to the Auburn 40.
Georgia quarterback Ray
Golf then ran 23 yards to the
16, 12 more to the four, and
finally handed off the
Poward who scored with 37
seconds remaining in the
game. The point after touch­down
was missed and Geor­gia
settled for a 27-12 victory.
Although the Tiger Cubs
blocked two field goals and a
punt, the statistics were
dominated by Georgia. They
had 301 yards rushing as
compared with 168 for Au­burn.
Georgia was four for
eight for 38 yards and one
interception in passing while
Auburn could manage only
three completions and 28
yards in 11 attempts.
The Georgia Frosh re now
2-0 as the Baby Tigers drop­ped
to 1-1.
Rugby
The Auburn Rugby team coming off a loss to Pen-sacola
beat a highly regarded Atlanta team 18 to 14.
Scoring the trys for Auburn were Greg Muro, Art
Dyas, and Slugger Livingston. John Ireland scored
all three extra point conversions.
This was the first time Auburn has beaten Atlanta
in Atlanta. Aggressive scrum play by Cabell Phil-pott,
Jim Andrews and Rick Northam sparked the
last minute Auburn victory. The Auburn record now
stands at one win and one loss.

Deen moves from play
maker to play breaker
Rv Charlie Cox • *^
By Charlie Cox
Assistant Sports Editor
Rusty Deen is what we, in
the big business of sports,
call a dedicated player.
The Thomaston, Ga., na­tive
started out as quarter­back
and has ended up as one
of Auburn's starting defen­sive
ends.
After graduating from
Robert E. Lee high school in
Thomaston, the 218 pound
junior was a highly sought
after quarterback in Ala­bama.
He was recruited and
came to Auburn as a quarter­back.
During his freshman year
he injured his shoulder to
such an extent that playing
quarterback was no longer
feasible. After recovering
from his shoulder injury,
Deen then broke his wrist be­tween
his freshman and
sophomore years. Getting off
to such a good start, Deen ex­plained,
"I was going to
switch to tight end but the
coach Auburn had at that
time left, so Coach Hilyer got
hold of me and switched me
to defensive end."
Making the transition from
a top rated quarterback to a
starting defensive end is
merely a matter of gaining a
bunch of weight and for­getting
everything that you
have been taught through
high school. Then he must
learn completely different
skills in a short period of
time.
Rusty Deen has made the
transition and has made it a
good one. He is a dedicated
football player. Last year he
played behind AU-SEC
Danny Sanspree, but already
this year he has distin-quished
himself. In Au­burn's
first six games, Deen
has won the Headhunter
Award two times.
Is he glad about being
switched to defensive end?
"I'm not disappointed in the
least. Now I think I like de­fense
better than offense. I'm
not sorry I didn't get to play
quarterback."
Auburn opponents have
passed an average of just
due to the efforts of the de­fense
against the rush, a
trademark of Tiger defenses.
"I think perhaps that we are
a little stronger- against the
rush, blit at the same time,
teams have just been pass­ing
an awful lot against us,"
explained Deen.
As a defensive end, Deen's
responsibilities are some of
the most important on the
field. "My job is to stop all off
tackle plays and to contain
the outside runs from the out­side
towards the inside." In
addition. Deen is constantly
irushing the quarterback and
causing panic in the op­ponent's
backfield.
Saturday, the Tigers will
face the University of Hous­ton
for Homecoming. Au­burn
will see a different kind
of offense called the "Hous­ton
option." "Houston runs a
type of offense that is geared
to the outside, that is, they
run a lot of outside running
plays around the ends. They
only pass for an average of
over 30 times a game.This is about 10 times a game, so
that will make our job that
much tougher," said Deen.
Injury wise, the Tigers
didn't fare so well after last
week's game. Hurt are such
players as KenBernich, Mike
Flynn, Wade Whatley. Ken
Calleja, and Mike Fuller.
Whether or not all or any of
these players will play
against Houston is not
known.
However, the team itself
may not be as concerned as
some of the spectators and
fans might be. "It always
hurts to have starters and top
players injured, but I think
we have the depth to fill the
positions with players that
have proven that they can
play," comnented Deen.
At this point, Auburn is 4-2
overall with the only 2 losses
coming at the hands of ionce
beaten Tennessee and unde­feated
LSU. Deen stated,
"LSU is definitely the best
team we've fated, but Ole
Miss has been the most
aggressive. Tennessee was
good but just not as good as
they were last year."

about insurance
now.

Basketball team needs big
player, and more experience
By David Storey
Plainsman Sports Writer
For a versatile, young run­ning
back less than a year out
of high school stardom, the
transition from prep com­petition
to varsity duty at Au­burn
this season has been
what Sullivan Walker terms
as "a great experience."
And if the freshman from
Montgomery continues to
show as much potential in
the next three years as he has
already displayed this sea­son,
Auburn football will
stand to benefit greatly from
Walker's "experiences."
The 5' 11", 189 pound Walk­er
has already been of great
worth to the Auburn football
program this season in both
starting and backup roles in
two different positions, tail­back
and fullback.
In the season opener
against Oregon State, Walk­er
played briefly in the full­back
slot giving regular Au­burn
fullback Rusty Fuller a
brief rest. But after an im­pressive
performance the
next week as a tailback
against UT-Chattanooga,
Walker remained in his old
high school position for the
Tigers' next two games
against Tennessee and Ole
Miss.
In fact, it was against Ole
Miss that saw him become
selves elevated to varsity
status the first of fall prac­tice
in late August. Of the
five, three have started at
least one game for the Ti­gers,
Walker, Bill Evans, and
Dave Ostrowski, while two
others, Chris Vacarella and
Secdrick Mclntyre, have seen
a considerable amount of
playing time for Auburn this
season. Of the five, Walker
has logged more playing time
than any other.

Walker was one of five long jump and triple jump
freshmen who found th em-champion
in track, and it is a
decision that Walker has
never second guessed.
But Sullivan still recalls
the big jump from high
school football to college var­sity
competition.
"Yes, I was glad to get a
chance to play on the varsity
at Auburn, but I knew I had a
lot to learn and a big adjust­ment
to make," recalled
Walker after practice Mon­day.
"It's been a great ex­perience
so far this season,
but it hasn't been easy. I've
still got a lot to learn but I
hope to get better and I'm
looking forward to playing
for three more years and do­ing
as much as I can.
And it seems there are q uite
a few Auburn fans who are
looking forward to seeing
Walker do as much as he can
for Auburn football in the
next three seasons.

Plainsman Sports Writer
Take a lack of experience,
the absence of a big man, and
throw in a demanding sched­ule,
and you find the situa­tion
that new Auburn head
basketball coach Bob Davis
faces.
" If we could win half of our
games this year we would
nave to consider it a fan­tastic
year," commented the
former Georgetown coach.
The biggest problem fac­ing
the Tigers is the lack of a
big man. Ernie Magri, Albert
Johnson, and Ralph Smith,
all who spent time at the pi­vot
position for Auburn last
year, have been lost through
graduation.
The position is wide open
now with four young players
hoping to claim the job. Soph­omore,
Glen Moon, is still
recovering from knee sur­gery
and will not start prac­tice
until next week. Other
candidates for the position
include 6'10" sophomore,
Mike Roach, and two 6'8"
freshmen, Emmet Thomas
and Roger Jorgensen.
Senior guard Mike Chris­tian
and sophomore forward
Gary Redding are the only
starters back from last year's
team. According to Davis,
"We'll be counting on Chris­tian
and Redding for leader­ship.
It's usually-the juniors
and seniors that stabilize a
ball team, but Christian is
the only starting senior we
have back and we don't even
have a junior on our squad."
Senior Bob Osberry saw a
lot of action at forward last
season and should fight for a
starting position. Other re­turners
with experience in­clude
sophomores Bob Bond
at forward and Bob Mandula
at guard.
Two freshmen guards
could work their way into the
starting lineup after getting a
little experience behind them.
Bill Wallace from Tuskegee
was voted the outstanding
basketball player in class 3-A
basketball last year and then
captured the Most Valuable
Player award in the high
school all-star game.
The other outstanding
freshman guard is Eddie
Johnson . from , Weirsvilhv
Florida. Johnson was one of
the most highly recruited
players in Florida last year
and Davis claims "he's as
quick as a cat." The Florida
native averaged 32.1 points a
game his senior year off high
school.
Auburn will move to a fast
break offense this year and
Davis hopes that the team
can average 85 points a game
this year. "Our offense will
utilize the fast break with
more shooting by the guards.
Auburn started practice
October 15 and the team
works about three hours a
day six days a week. So far
the practices have concen­trated
on conditioning and
the basics.
There is some hope from
Auburn's new coach though
as he commented, "There is
really no way to overcome our
inexperience but the boys
seem to have a lot of en­thusiasm
and are putting for­ward
a great deal of effort,
and I have seen those two
things carry a team a long
way."
Davis sees the SEC race.as
shaping up into two divi­sions.
Kentucky, Tennessee,
Vanderbilt, Alabama, and
LSU should be the top squads
in the conference, with Au­burn
fighting with the other
four schools for the sixth
SDOt.
Tracksters place third
Gierer
From page 9
sophomore in Mitzi Jackson.
Things look grim for Auburn this weekend as they face the
number ten ranked team with a bunch of freshmen. There
are a couple of things going for Auburn though. One of these
is that it is Homecoming and Auburn has only lost two in the
last 22 years, so you can be sure that Coach Jordan will have
the team ready.
• Another important factor could be the Auburn spirit. The
players that Auburn put out there Saturday may be young
but they are talented and with a strong crowd behind them
anything is possible. I have heard that many people are sell­ing
their homecoming tickets, but if I were them I would not
give up on the Tigers yet. I'll be there cheering them on and I
hope others are there too to make it another great Homecom­ing.

KA edges SN 19-18
All the exciting college
football played at Auburn is
not in Jordan Hare Stadium.
Competition found in the in-tramurals
program is enough
to arouse the interest of even
the most skeptical football
enthusiast. A game rivaling
many of Auburn's cliff-hangers
was the contest be­tween
Beta Theta Pi and
Theta Chi.
With less than five se­conds
left BTP quarterback
Stanley Holley pitched back
to Bill Strubbe. Strubbe then
tossed to Paul Schrantz
whose goaline snag proved to
be the difference in the Betas
31 to 25 victory.
The extra points were the
deciding factor in the Sigma
Nu-Kappa Alpha game last
week. Each team engineered

BSU continued their domi­nance
of independent foot­ball
league play by walking
away with an easy win over
ACJC 36 to 0. The Chinese
Bandits alsb won easily last
week by a score of 33 to 0 over
Delta Sigma Phi. In one of
the most defensive games of
the season Division N O

me a couple of hundred birds
to play with until we com­bine

season.
Tuesday was going to be
the big day, but I checked the
field Sunday afternoon and
someone had done the honors
for me. Now to many, this
may seem funny, but if
you've ever had it happen
personally, I think you can
see my point.
So that gets the situation
down to facts. I think every­body
at one time or another
has wanted to step across a
fence line or help somebody
control their fish population.
If you do it you aren't a fault
unless the land is posted.
Fences as such, are not pro-hibitors.
But when we talk about
posting signs, we are talking
about a pretty big job and
often times a nice sized bill.
The signs I'm accustomed to
are either metal, plastic or
cardboard. The metal ones
are usually florescent and
make wonderful targets.
Everybody seems to enjoy
zeroing their weapons on the
various letters. If a person
has a lot of land, at least 50
cents a poster is too expen­sive.
Cardboard posters are pret­ty
effective and a good deal
cheaper. Of course people will
tear them down and the
weather will make them fade,
but you can often get several
years out of them.

are entirely too many leaves
on the trees for real success­ful
hunting. Remember if you
