Male visitation proposal denied;
parents voice their disapproval
Parents of women students have
indicated opinions four-to-one against
allowing male visitation in the rooms
of their daughters in campus dormi­tories,
according to H. F. Vallery, assis­tant
to the president.
Their opposition to more liberalized
rules was registered in answer to a sur­vey
mailed from the office of Pres.
Harry M. Philpott at the request of the
Board of Trustees.
The Associated Women Students
(AWS) asked last spring that male
visitation be permitted on weekends.
After considering the request during
the June 3 meeting, the Board decided
to get the opinions of parents before
making a decisuon.
The proposed change in rules would
have given women residents on each
dorm floor the right to decide whether
to allow men to visit on Fridays, Satur­days,
and between 5 p.m. and mid-ncght
on Sunday.
Of the 3,084 questionnaires mailed,
2,439 (79 per cent) were returned, a ratio
termed by the office of Institutional
Analysis as "very, very high" for a
mailed survey.
Of those responding, 81.9 per cent
favored adhering to the present rule
which allows only limited visitation on
home football game weekends to
accomodate relatives and out-of-town
visitors. •_.;.
Others indicated they would not ob­ject
to some form of liberalized rules,
either the week-end visitation plan for
all dorms or the designation of certain
dorms allowing male visitation and
where the residents might live by
choice.
Officials noted this survey indicates
a slight moderation in parnetal atti­tudes
over the past four years. In 1970 a
mailed survey asked essentially the
same question regarding male visita­tion
and 95 Der cent were opposed.
More opposition to the rule change"
came from Alabama parents (83.9 per
cent) than from those innother states
(78.5 per cent). Opposition was higher
among parents of freshmen (89.4 per
cent). Least opposed were the parents
of junior lever women students (79.4 per
cent).
Parents were asked to add their com­ments.
Interestingly, only 17 responses
came from parents of freshmen, while
186 parents of entering freshmen, 179
sophomores, 124 juniors and 84 sen­iors
expressed their views.
Most letters were signed by both par­ents,
some by only one parent, many
were unsigned. Some included the
daughter's view which usually
coincided with their own. Most of the
latter indicated the response followed a
family conference on the subject which
sometimes included other students,
both men and women, they knew.
Those opposed to the change stated a
variety of reasons. There was the fear
that such privileges would lead to
moral erosion, that it would infringe on
the privacy and study atmosphere for
many.
Several followed the theme, "If one
occupant of the room has a date and the
other doesn't, where is the dateless one
to go?"
Frequently the restrictions Auburn
still places over its women students
were mentioned as among the reasons
parents or their daughters chose
Auburn over more liberal universities.
A letter which summarized most of
the major objections read: "We were
pleased when our daughter chose
Auburn because you did not permit the
open dorms and you still had a curfew
on female students living in the dorms.
We strongly favor continuation of this
policy to reduce the peer pressure of
which we hear at other schools, lead­ing
to sexual permissiveness which:
Keep Off The Grass
The Auburn parking situation is less complicated
this summer with the decrease of students on campus.
But the heat is on.
This, however, poses a difficult problem because
most parking lots are black asphalt and afford little
might not otherwise occur.
"We feel the transition from the
supervision of the home to complete
freedom should be more gradual and
tn from the supervision of the home to
complete freedom should be more grad­ual
and supervision of the dorms tends
to temper this transition," the letter
stated.
The mother of an entering freshman
wrote: "We did not know there was a
college left in the world with rules like
Auburn and we were delighted. Other
parents we talked with at orientation
had selected Auburn for just this rea-sbn.
"We will not be horrified if you
change your rules to more liberal ones,
but we will be disappointed. There are
lots of other schools to attend where the
rules are less strict, but it will diminish
Auburn's unique stand if its rules are
changed.

Dorms to get
their kitchens
by this fall
A contract to install kitchens in stu­dent
dormitories which do not already
have such facilities has been awarded
to the J. A. Lett Construction Co. The
work is scheduled for completion by
Sept. 10.
According to Ben T. Lanham, vice
president for administration, the total
cost of the project will be $4,156 for
equipment and $79,660 for electrical,
plumbing, carpentry, and other
construction costs.
The units will include the usual facili­ties
for kitchen: electric range,
refrigerator, sink, and storage cabi­nets.
Col. L. E. Funchess, director of Build­ings
and Grounds, said the unites will
be installed in Droms I, II, IV, 7, 8, 9
and 10, Alumni Hall, Auburn Hall,
Magnolia Hall, and Bullard Hall. The
remaining dormitories already have
such units.
Pres. Harry M. Philpott approved a
plan submitted last May by the Ad Hoc
Committee to Study Food Service

installation of kitchens in all dormi­tories

Student senators concerned about maintenance
By Ned Browning
Plainsman Staff Writer
Student senators expressed
concern Monday night over
expenses for damages blamed
to Winter quarter streaking
incidents.
A complete cost breakdown
from Buildings and Ground (B
& G) was requested after the
Senate reviewed a basic repair
report from the Office of Stu­dent
Affairs. The report
indicated that 20 window
War Eagle and Terrell
to use coupon books
Coupon books will be used in
War Eagle Cafeteria and
Terrell Dining Hall this fall,
according to Rhett Riley, Uni­versity
business manager.
This is a change from the
previously announced plan in
which only War Eagle would
use coupon books. Magnolia,
Alumni, and Terrell dining
halls would have been on the
meal ticket plan.
The decision to change meal
plans at Terrell was influenced
by discussions with various
student and faculty repre­sentatives
and the Associated
Women Students (AWS).
"Girls living in the south
dorms are inconvenienced dur­ing
bad weather because they
may not be able to return to
Terrell for meals between
classes," Riley said. "This was
a major consideration in
changing the meal plan."
screens and one glass door had
to be replaced at a cost of
$576.87. The door cost $52.62,
leaving $524.25 expenses for
the screens.
Mike Waller, off-campus
senator, said this averages
$25.00 per screen. The highest
retail cost for a screen is $15, he
said. "It's incongruent that we
had to pay so much per
screen."
Repairs, made by B and G,
were charged to the Univer­sity's
contingency fund when
no individual blame could be
determined.
However, John Hornsby,
senator from engineering,
pointed out the fact that many
of the damaged screens were
on windows, three or four
stories high. He asked that an
effort be made to determine
individual responsibility and a
possible refund made to the
contingency fund.
George Comer, Building and
Grounds Committee chair­man,
reported that the
committee is preparing a sur­vey
of campus maintenance
efficiency for Fall quarter.
A recent national rating
study shows that Auburn Uni­versity
is 17 of 24 schools in the
Southeast in maintenance effi­ciency,
according to Comer.
The survey is based, among
other things, on the amount of
money spent per square foot of
area ser-viced.
The year's first Teacher -
Course Evaluation survey is
planned for the end of summer
quarter, according to Bruce
Donnellan, secretary of aca­demic
affairs for the Student
Government Association
(SGA). He asked the senators
to poll their constituents to see
which courses and teachers
should be evaluated. Three sur­veys
will be taken this year.

Fiftith state
The State of Alabama was admitted
to the union as the twenty-second state.
In area it is twenty-ninth. It is listed
twenty-first in population.
This state with its motto of "We Dare
Defend Our Rights" ranks fifith in the
country in the amount of dollars
appropriated for education.
The most recent allocation of funds
for education Was the highest in the
state's history. And the Wallace
administration is quick to boast about
it.
This so called large appropriation is
still the lowest in the nation. Where
does Wallace and this state put its
importance? On the present or the fu­ture?
The future of the people lies in educa­tion.
There should not be any short
change given to it. Let's stand up and
be counted along with the rest of the
country and prepare our children for
tomorrow, the best way possible.

OPINION
In 1964 Auburn University offered a
journalism major for the first time. For
decades prior to that time journalism
courses were taught by part time
instructors.
Paul C. Burnett came to Auburn in
1948 and became the first full time
journalism instructor. Jack Simms re­cently
returned to his alma mater to be­come
the first head of the newly formed
Journalism Department at Auburn.
For many it was a long awaited step.
We have thought it was way overdue.
Many people have been surprised to
learn that Auburn did not have a
department before now.
Many of the journalists that have left
this institution have become highly
respected and well known not only in
the State of Alabama but in the South­east
arid the nation.
The journalism program past and
present is the result of the undying ef­forts
and countless hours of work of one
man. That man, who is well known to
all journalism students, is Paul C.Bur-nett.
When Mr. Burnett arrived at Auburn,
there was no academic program in
journalism. He set up a program and it
is still being used today. He was the
instructor to all of the members of the
journalism faculty, Mickey Logue,
Simms and David Housel.
Auburn is one of the last remaining
strongholds in true journalism in the
country, according to Curtis D. Mac-
Dougall, professor emeritus of
journalism at Northwestern Univer­sity
and a well known educator in that
field. Auburn teaches the practical
application of journalism where as
many other schools concentrate on
theory instead of practice.
Auburn and its journalism graduates
are indebted' to Mr. Burnett for being
the "Father of Journalism at Auburn
University."

The Auburn Plainsman is the student newspaper of Auburn University. Edi­torial
opinions are those of the editor and columnists and are not necessarily tin-opinions
of the Hoardof Trustees, administration, faculty or students ofAuburn.
Is it the purpose of this institution or
any institution to legislate social
mores? Is it the purpose of this or any
institution of higher learning to legis­late
what its students can and cannot
do?
A university is for the benefit of its
students and in turn society. It is the
student who determines the course that
he or she will take while in school and
in life.
The Board of Trustees and parents do
not determine when, where and what
its students and their children will or
will not do in the pursuance of their
education and entrance into society.
They may set the stage and provide gui­dance
but no more.
If a parent is afraid of what his or her
child will do away from home, they
should not have let him or her leave
home or even to have conceived him or
her.
The trip away from home is an educa­tion
in itself. The rearing that a child
received at home before leaving should
have been proper enough to enable the
child to determine what he or she
should and should not do.
A college age person is and should be
considered an adult. By being an adult,
he or she should be able to determine
what is right and wrong and be able to
conduct himself or herself in such a
manner.
When a person leaves home to get an
education, he or she should be given the
opportunity to get any and every educa­tional
experience that he can. This
should include what can be learned out­side
the classroom as well as in it.
Everything that one learns is not
from a book. Life is the best teacher
that anyone can have.
An adult, whether he or she is in
school or not, should be free to deter­mine
what he or she should or should
not do or be exposed to.
The Board of Trustees and parents
should not determine it for them.
The purposes of Auburn University
as stated in the Auburn University
Bulletin are:
"Auburn's responsibility as a Uni­versity
is to maintain an environment
of learning in which the individual ind
Curtis A.
Mauldin
society are enriched by the "preserva­tion,
transmission, and creation of
knowledge. This obligation embraces
Auburn's continuing commitment to
its land-grant tradition as well as its
consciousness of evolvement into a
dynamic and complex institution
whose programs of instruction,
research and extension must be ever
pertinent to the needs of a changing
social order.
"Auburn University, therefore, is
dedicated to these purposes:
"Providing for its students, within
the resources of the institution, educa­tional
opportunities of a liberal charac­ter
as well as those of a specialized
nature;
"Developing graduates whose
knowledge, intellectual discipline, and
awareness of the morality of indi­vidual
action will be manifest in ser­vice
to their fellow man and to the state
and nation."
With that purpose in mind, the Uni­versity
and the Board of Trustees
should not determine the habits and
customs that the students should bow
to. It is our life; let us live it.
Male Visitation page 5 Thurs., Aug. 1, 1974 THE AUBURN PUlNftUN
Will morality be resolved by its defeat ?
Male visitation, a topic of contro­versy
among students at Auburn for
several years, has recently caused quite
a stir among parents whose daughters
live in University dormitories.
It was revealed in the questionnaire
on visitation sent to all parents whose
daughters plan to live in a dorm this
fall that many parents feel that male
visitation is a moral issue. Perhaps my
own naivete has never led me to con­sider
male visitation in that manner be­fore.
Upon considering male visitation in
that perspective I ask one question:
Will the question of sexual morality be
resolved by defeating any proposal
allowing male visitation?
Several parents commented that
they did not allow men to visit their
daughters in their bedrooms at home. A
woman's dorm room at Auburn is not
only her bedroom, but also her living
room, her den, her study, and until this
fall, her kitchen.
If moral behavior is the question,
why should that behavior be any dif­ferent
in a dorm room than anywhere
else the Auburn woman may go.
Many parents claimed that their
readers'
OPINIONS
daughters were also against male visi­tation
and further suggested that those
"few liberal" girls who wanted male
visitation should move off campus. Per­haps
the 67 per cent of women students
who voted that they wanted male
visitation in the spring Associated Wo­men
Students (AWS) survey should
move off campus.
But then some of those girls are
probably the ones whose parents
"chose Auburn for their daughter be­cause
it was a conservative school."
Several parents even threatened to
withdraw their daughter if a change to
allow male visitation went into effect.
Another parental view called for a
halt to women visiting in men's dormi­tories.
If the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare (HEW) guide­lines
do call for equalization of all dorm
rules for men and women, it is my opin­ion
that rather than allow visitation in

ANOTHER RULING FRDW THE SUPREME COURT.... *
Players concerned Plainsman Park
We, as Auburn baseball players,
would like to express our opinion con­cerning
Plainsman Park being used as
a "drill field" for the Auburn Univer­sity
Marching Band.
For the past few years, the Auburn
band has marked off the outfield to
simulate a football field. We, as
players, would like to make it known to
the public the damages that they have
brought about to the outfield of Plains­man
Park.
Every year they cut yard lines and
mark off an "80-yard" field across our
outfield, and this year, according to
surveyors, they plan to mark off a 100-
yard field.
The lime that is used eats away the
grass, and the continuous marching of
hundreds of feet packs the ground like
concrete, and kills the remainder of the
grass. Because of this, an outfielder can
never expect a "true hop" of the ball to
come his way, thus resulting in a possi­ble
loss of a ball game.
Auburn has many open areas: the
drill field, soccer and softball fields,
football "practice" fields, etc. Why is it
then, that the band must practice on
the baseball field and continue to ruin
it?
We, as players, feel that something
must be done in order to save the out­field
for the oncoming season. It is here
that we feel that the Athletic Depart­ment
should put a stop to it.
Baseball, as we see it at Auburn Uni­versity,
has been neglected for many
years. This past season Auburn won 31
games, the second best record in
Auburn baseball history . Many stu­dents
could not attend the games due to
the lack of bleachers and stands. Who
is going to attend a baseball game with
no place to sit down.
To further complicate this even the
centerfield bleachers were removed last
season for "typical Auburn security
reasons."
Auburn has a 25-year-old scoreboard
which is a dangerous hazard to out­fielders.
Each inning, an Auburn
player must run out across the field and
post the score. This is something you
find in "Little League" competition.
Some fans have commented about
the dugouts resembling "train depots."
There isn't even enough room for the
whole team to sit down. Much more
could be said.
Although the playing field is our
main concern, we would like to see
these other aspects of Plainsman Park
improved, because it is these that
attract more fans to the games.
If it is the "Auburn spirit" that helps
win Auburn football games, we, as
Auburn baseball players, would like
some of that spirit to come our way!

the women's dorms, visitation will be
abolished at Magnolia Hall.
An attitude that frequently showed
up was one of praise for the Auburn
administration who has the backbone
to say no while other colleges have
bowed to student demands. Many
times students criticize the administra­tion
for holding back when actually
they are only reflecting the views of
parents.
However, many parents expressed
concern for the violation of privacy and
poor study atmosphere that male
visitation might cause for the resi­dents.
While these objections have
some validity, I feel that most of the
parents missed the real point of the
AWS proposal to establish male visita­tion.
The point was not to force male
visitation on all women residents,
but to give them the opportunity to de­cide
for themselves whether or not the
advantages of male visitation out­weighed
the disadvantages. It is highly
unlikely they will get the chance now.

Professors
too affected
with trivia
I think the following piece may well
justify some space in your reader's
opinion columns as it bears substan­tially
on what a college is all about.
In going here and yonder on the
Auburn campus, one runs across, much
too often for my personal liking, mem­bers
of the teaching occupation trudg­ing
along a corridor or a walkway to
their next lecture clutching in all their
arms and hands (normally not more
than two of each) literally piles and
hundredweights of notes, notebooks,
loose pieces of papyrus and hefty
mouldering reference tomes.
When I run across such a specimen, I
mutter (being a polite type) inaudibly,
"There goes a peddler of trivia."
I cannot help but feel that anyone
who must lug all this paper material
around to shore up the lecture con­tents,
must be either awfully short in
the memory line or equally short in
ability to select the substance and the
trivia.
In either case, it would appear to me
that a job as an archivist, for sorm
organization that operates arounc
Goat Hill of Montgomery, for example
should be the proper occupation, rathe:
than one of the staff of a teaching
institution.
If the tiny bits of this and that mus
be refreshed in the lecture 's (or indeet
reader's) mind by the minute, how long
can that person expect the students to
retain such trivia after the lecture hour
ends? Surely one must live in a Nir­vana
to believe that all these micro­scopic
added-on particles will remain
in use and be of any worth a year or two
later.
Naturally the same goes for students
obliged to lug 20-30 pounds of books to
the lecture courses!! What dismissal of
logic at its base???!!!

A U group longs for home living
"I miss hamburgers." "I
wish r~had some trench fries
with lots of ketchup."
These were some of the com­ments
made by a group of
Auburn students who are
studying in Spain this sum­mer.
They are part of a sum­mer
academic program in
Spain, Alabama-Auburn-
Abroad.
There are 21 students from
Auburn, seven from the Uni­versity
of Alabama and 15
from other schools in the
country who are studying in
Madrid. Their classes started
on July 2 and will end on Aug.
10.
Being in a strange country,
even though one may be able to
speak the native language, is
quite an experience.
One student commented
that "Spain is different."
Two members of the group
were dining in the University
of Madrid cafeteria when a
crew from Spain's televi­sion
network arrived. Kay
Thompson, 1GFLS, and Bill
Braswell of Alabama were
interviewed and will be seen
throughout Spain later this
month.
Some of the experiences of
the group were not so plea­sant.
After asking directions to a
nearby Air Force base,
Dr. Bailey
to return
to Auburn
Wilford S. Bailey will return
to Auburn July 29 as professor
of parasitology in the School of
Veterinary Medicine, Pres.
Harry M. Philpott announced
this week.
Bailey is tfiie former vice
president for academic and
administrative affairs at
Auburn. For the past two years
he has served as chief of the
parasitology and medical
entymology branch of the Na­tional
Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases in
Bethesda, Md. _
Bailey holds the D.V.M.
and M. S degrees from Auburn
and the D. Sc. from Johns Hop­kins
University. As a grad­uate
-student at Auburn, he
joined the faculty in the de­partment
of pathology and
parasitogogy and became
head of the department in 1950.
In 1962, Bailey was named
associate dean of the graduate
school and coordinator of re­search.
He also served as act­ing
director of the Water Re­sources
Institute during the
first two years of its existence
at Auburn. He was named vice
president in 1966 and served in
that capacity until he accept­ed
the appointment to NIH in
September, 1972.
Minerva Trujillo, a graduate
teaching assistant in Span­ish;
Pat Grace, 6FL; Karen
Billingslea, 2GSC; Katie Cleg-horn,
2GHY; and Wanda
Thomas of Auburn found
themselves in the middle of
nowhere at the end of a bus
route. They attempted to get
directions from a local man
when they spotted two Ameri­cans
in uniforms. The men
appeared to look like Marines
to the women students and
they felt that the Marines had
arrived to save the day.
They were rescued, but not
by Marines. The men were air­men
from the Air Force base
they were trying to find.
Shortly after their arrival,
Joseph Joaquin from Law­rence,
MA decided to
familiarize himself with the
downtown area of Madrid. He
boarded a bus labeled
"circular." He circled the city
three times before he could
orientate himself.
The students are in Spain to
study as part of their academic
requirements for their degrees
on the undergraduate and
graduate levels. They are
studying Spanish conversa­tion,
composition, civilization
and literature of Spain and
Spanish America.
A part of most student's lives
are spent in a library. Two of
the American students in
Spain for the summer found
that Spanish libraries are not
quite as modern as those in
this country.
They spent about 12 hours in
the library at the University of
Madrid and a couple of others
and were not able to find the
information they needed.
"They did learn how to soothe
swollen feet, tired bodies and
minor sunstrokes," according
to Catherine Perricone,
academic director of the study
trip.
The Spanish program is the
sister program to Alabama-
Auburn-Abroad Academic
Summer Program in France.
Both study programs are
sponsored each year by the
University of Alabama and
Auburn University.
There are 29 students
involved in the French pro­gram.
Robert Cargo, professor
of Romance Languages at Ala­bama,
is the program director.
The two study periods are dur­ing
the same dates.
The summer programs are a
joint venture by the two uni­versities.
Each school is in
charge of one language on an
alternating basis each year.
The objectives of the pro­gram
are to provide selected
students and secondary school
teachers an opportunity for
concentrated study of a lan­guage
in order to broaden their
competence in it.
Before returning to the U. S.
the students will have an
opportunity to travel in the
country in which they are

Jackrabbit's ready
Coach Jordan said that Auburn quarterbacks were well
suited to the Veer offense and the A-Day game
showed that they were gaining in confidence and ability in
their new attack. And while Phil Gargis and Chris Vacarella
were bantering back and forth for the number one spot, there
was someone else working at the position that didn't receive so
much publicity.
Glen Ward, a redshirted sophomore, was moved to quarter­back
in the spring and finished number 3 when Randy Walls
was moved to defensive back and Clyde Baumgartner was out
injured.
*
With injuries as prominent as they were last year, Auburn
found out that you can't have too many players ready. But Glen
is also capable of handling defensive backfield duties, where he
started every game of his freshman year in '72, and that posi­tion
is also lacking depth. In fact, Danny Arnold finished no. 2
behind all three starters Mike Fuller, Jim McKinney, and Bruce
Evans.
And so in the middle we have Glen Ward. He's talked with
Coach Barfield, in charge of offense, about the switch and feels
that wherever he's needed, that's where he'll go.
Glen made his debut as quarterback while sitting out of
competition last year—on the scout team which runs oppo­nents'
offensive systems against the Tiger defense—and
showed quickness enough to stay there this spring.
He's quite at home with the Veer offense which he ran while
quarterbacking in high school. In fact, his quickness could be
quite a bit of competition to Gargis and Vacarella with one
improvement—developing his passing skill.
"I just didn't have my arm built up to be an effective passer,"
said Glen, "but I'm working on it now." "Working on it" means
throwing a couple hundred times a day and having friends like
Mike Fuller run pass patterns for practice.
Glen has a refreshing enthusiasm for the coming season, al­most
like it was the first one all over again. And he has opti­mism,
too. "I can't wait until the season starts," he said. "I feel
that if my arm is building like I want it to I have a shot at
quarterback."
During spring practice, Glen earned the nickname
"Jackrabbit" from Coach Paul Davis because of his quickness.

A one-hitter was pitched by

with 12 runs in the first inning
helped the victors to overcome
their opponents. Continuing
the game by gaining 11 more

insured a win for People's

one hit and scored 23 runs. St.

Pope's Team played a close
game against Horny Toads
last Monday. Pope's led the
game with 2 runs in the first
and 1 in the third, but the
Toads came back with three
runs in the fourth to tie things
in a real knot. No runs were
scored by either team in the
fifth inning but the Toads had
a three-run rally in the sixth to
put pressure on Pope's. With
Pope's having the last inning,
they had a chance to win. Get­ting
3 runs across the plate to
tie the game seemed almost as
hard as getting the fourth for
the victory, but they did and
the seven-inning game went
to Pope's team as they defeat­ed
Horny Toads 7 to 6.
George Thaxton, Physics
professor, pitched a three-hit­ter
for the Slow Pokes as they
allowed only one run in their

inning, but couldn't stop the 15
run rally in the fifth.

Defensive end, Rusty Deen, says that if you were adjusted to
Gargis or Vacarella and Glen came in unnoticed, he and his
excellent quickness could slip right by. "I don't know if he's the
fastest quarterback," said Deen, "but he's the quickest from
center to end."
' Coming back as a quarterback involves developing some­thing
else, too—leadership qualities—something he hadn't
needed in such capacity since high school.
"At first I felt inferior and was shy about calling out plays in
the huddle," said Glen, "It takes a while to get used to being a
real leader that the quarterback has to be."
But the most important change that Glen had to make, not
just for quarterbacking but for football itself, was in his atti­tude,
and he's made that change totally.
"I think one reason I was redshirted was because of my atti­tude—
I just didn't have the right one. I was around someone a
lot who had a 'don't care' attitude and was just intent on get­ting
the other guy out of the game."
Sitting out a year and involvement with the Fellowship of
Christian Athletes has helped change his attitude and this is
all-important to him.
"Most college athletes have talent," said Glen, "So I'd say
attitude counts about 90 per cent in making a good player."
In that case, Glen Ward is at least 90 per cent ready for 1974
football.
like no other team has. Both
teams played a real.fired-up
game, but as Clark Carnes
sank 10 baskets for 20 major
points for the Raiders, the
game was pretty well decided.
As a good game ended, the
Raiders over-strengthened the
Mormons 57 to 44.

Fall Preview
Gator defense led by linebacker Ortega;
Seminoles rebuild after 0-11 season
florirfo
The Florida Gators were
predicted to be a Cinderella
team in 1973 and were even
picked to win the SEC title by
one poll. But things didn't get
clicking for the Gators until
midseason. This year they
have been picked to finish
third in the conference, just
ahead of Auburn and
Tennessee.
About midseason last year
Doug Dickey found himself a
quarterback who promptly lost
his first start. Then came the
Auburn game and a 12-8 vic­tory
for Florida. They follow­ed
with wins over Georgia,
Kentucky, Miami, and Florida
State.
The quarterback was Don
Gaffney who Dickey describes
as a winner with many of the
skills of Condredge Holloway
of Tennessee. Gaffney was a
running threat at quarterback
and provided the one essential
thing that Florida needed to
win-leadership. He'll start at
the beginning this season and
that should be a plus for the
Gators.
The running backs who in­tend
to make Florida's Veer
work are James Richards,
Jimmy Dubose and Larry
Brinson. Sophomore Brinson
lettered as a freshman and
should be the most promising.
These backs have their work
cut out for them as they replace
Gator mainstays Vince Ken-drick
and Nat Moore.
Moore.
At the receiving end, Gaff­ney
will have Lee McGriff, the
SEC's leading returning
receiver with 38 receptions for
703 yards and 5 TD's in '73.
The backfield is relatively
unproven but up front the
Gators have standouts Paul
Parker and Burton Lawless.
While Florida was last in
rushing defense last season
they were first in total defense.
One of the main reasons
was Ralph Ortega;'73 All-SEC
linebacker and potential All-
America. He's joined by Glenn
Cameron. Florida defensive
coordinator Doug Knotts
says he's as good a football
player as Ortega.
Preston Kendrick, younger
brother of Vince, holds down
one of the defensive end posi­tions.
In his sophomore sea­son
he sacked the quarterback
six times in Florida's confron­tation
with Ole Miss.
The defensive backfield is
paced by Tyson Sever, who is
also the Gator's leading punt
returner. Robby Ball, Alvin
Butler, and Randy Tolbot add
a lot of experience there.
The biggest need of improve­ment
was in the placekicking
department. The Gators made
only 5 out of 16 field goal
attempts last year and hope
that Berj Yepremian, younger
brother of the Miami Dolphins'
Garo Yepremian, will help
them there.
Florida St
Two years ago the Florida
St. Seminoles came to Auburn
for Homecoming and left with
a 27-14 defeat that was tele­vised.
They return to Auburn
again for that same occasion
this year.
Last year the Seminoles
went 0-11. Needless to say, new
Coach Darrell Mudra is
rebuilding.
Mudra has several quarter­back
contenders. Mark
Orlando, the no. 2 man last
year is probably the leader, but
still has competition from
transfer Ron Coppess and
Billy Prescott.
The Seminoles have joined
the Veer trend and have run­ning
backs Fred Miller, Rudy
Thomas, Larry Key, and Mike
Davison. Thomas was the
most promising in the spring
and holds down the fullback-ing
duties. After missing a
year because of injury, Miller
returns with speed at tailback.
Receivers are led by Mike
Allen. Mike Shumann caught
21 as a freshman last year for
380 yards and 2 TD's. Ed Beck-man
has experience at tight
end.
Joe Camps and Phil Cahoon
are the safeties and Earl
Humes and Chris Griffin are
at the cornerback positions.
Camps is a promising new­comer
while Cahoon and
Humes have both seen action.
Bert Cooper should be a
leader on defense at the end
position with fellow flanker
Rudy Maloy adding tough­ness.
Tony Falvo, another
transfer, made a solid bid for
middle guard and stayed there.
Greg Johnson and Phil Jones
are the tackles.
Kickers are still intact from
last year. Joe Downey punted
81 times for a 38.2 average in
'73. Soccer-style placekicker
Ahmet Askin was the leading
scorer on the team with 20
points. Fla. St. scored 98 points
last season.
"To take Florida State tough to come off an 0-11 year set for Oct. 26 in Jordan-Hare
lightly would be a mistake for but we had some good recruit- Stadium with the Auburn
our opponents," said Mudra. "I ing and we had some kids who Tigers traveling to Gaines-think
we'll be in the thick of will help us immediately." ville the following weekend for
things this fall. I know it is The Homecoming contest is the Florida game.

Draughon library to
recieve computer
By Lindley Paxton
Plainsman Staff Writer
As a result of grants
awarded to the Southeastern
Library Network (SOLINET),
the Draughon Library will be
able to extend facilities bene­ficial
to students.
Processing cataloged
materials and getting books
back on the shelves faster will
make more books available
more often.
The library will also be given
the use of a new computerized
library network for order work.
Because the process will be
faster, it will be possible to eli­minate
backlogged materials.
SOLINET is affiliated with
and based at the Southern Re­gional
Education Board
(SREB) in Atlanta, and has a
membership of 99 academic
and public libraries in 10
southern states. It is the lar­gest
such network organiza­tion
in the nation.
The network received grants
of $600,000 from the Andrew
W. Mellon Foundation, $10,000
from the Council on Library
Resources and $268,891 contri­buted
by member institutions
to help underwrite the esta­blishment
of the computerized
linking of libraries in the
south.
The library joined the net­work
in cooperation with the
Ohio College for Library Con­sortium,
(OCLC), at Ohio State
University in Columbus, OH,
for the establishment of an
inter-library network in the;
southeast.
The library will also be given
the use of a new computer
which will be used to print
catalog cards from a data base
of over 800,000 entries.
It contains almost every­thing
published in the Eng­lish
language since 1965,
according to William C. High-fill,
director of libraries at
Auburn. The OCLC system
also has access to books in
foreign languages.
The computer system will
allow more efficient cata­loging
of books and will pre­sent
librarians from catalog­ing
books needlessly," High-fill
said.

Former University employe dies
Wendell W. Johnson, a for­mer
University employe, was
found dead with his son,
Bruce, 17, and his wife, Bar­bara,
48, in their home on
Moore's Mill Road Sunday.
Johnson apparently hanged
himself after beating and stab­bing
his son and wife to death
sometime Saturday night,
according to police.
Bruce Johnson was para­lyzed
from the neck down
following an illness in May.
Doctors believed that the
affliction was temporary. He
was a 1974 Graduate of
Auburn High School.
Johnson, who had moved
his family from Colorado in
1963, had been employed by
the University's educational
television station until 1969.
He had most recently worked
at Tuskegee Institute. John­son
was a cinematographer in
both cases.
A typewritten suicide note
was found at the time police
discovered the bodies Sunday,
according to police. Police said
that the note appeared to be an
amendment to Johnson's will.
Funeral services for the
three family members were on
Tuesday at the Auburn Trin­ity
Lutheran Church.
Family members have
requested all donations be
made to the Bruce Johnson

"Arsenic and Old Lace" will
be the second production of the
Auburn University Theatre's
summer workshop. It will be
performed nightly at 8 on Aug.
8, 9,10 and 15,16 and 17 in the
Peet Theatre.
This famous farce-comedy
by Joseph Kesselring is one of
the hits of all time. It involves
a genteel, homicidal family
who live in Brooklyn in the
early 1940s.
Drama critic Mortimer
Brewster discovers that his
two maiden aunts not only dis­pense
toys to poor children but
elderberry wine laced with
arsenic to lonely male lodgers.
His older lunatic brother,
believing himself to be Teddy
Roosevelt, pleasantly stashes
the remains in the basement.
When his other homicidal
brother arrives with another
victim, and a doctor, Mortimer
decides enough is enough.
THEATRE
in review
Merriment surrounds the
family as Mortimer works him­self
and his zany family out of
their murderous predicament.
Tickets for the production go
on sale today. They may be
purchased at the theatre box
office or reservations may be
made by calling 826-4154 24

ENTERTAINMENT
Kenton recieves three encores
Jazz at its best was what
Stan Kenton offered to the
Auburn crowd Tuesday night.
Whether the listener prefered
Blood, Sweat and Tears or
Duke Ellington, Kenton had
something to appeal to every­one.
Stan Kenton's brand of jazz
is not for the timid or weak-hearted.
It's raw, earthy, and
uninhibited.
It comes at you point blank,
with both feet, forcing you to
join in its frenzied, magnetic
rhythms.
The crowd gathered early for
the concert. When Kenton
sounded the first chords of
Michel Legrand's "What are
you doing the rest of your life,"
the full house crowd responded
warmly, so warmly in fact that
they wanted more, even after
the third encore.
The twenty-piece Kenton
orchestra specialized in
progressive jazz, not the pla­cid
sound of Glenn Miller, but
not the blatant sound of
unrestricted rock.
Kenton's music reflected the
successful combination of jazz,
rock, and blues elements.
The instrumentation in the
"Butterflies
are Free"
at Auburn
"Butterflies Are Free" will
be the Spectra movie of the
week. It will be shown on Fri­day
and Sunday at 7 and 9 p.m.
in Langdon Hall and at 8 p.m.
on Saturday on the lawn of
Carolyn Draughon Village.
The film stars Goldie Hawn,
Eileen Heckart, and Edward
Albert. It is directed by Milton
Katselas.
Kenton band was not stand­ard.
Kenton employed more
than the usual number of bass
instruments by way of an addi­tional
baritone saxophone
and, at times, a concert tuba,
and a string bass.
The effect was posutive, and
the band had a balanced over­all
sound.
Band leader Kenton, a
sixty-two year-old veteran of
the big band era, himself an
interesting personality at the
microphone, as well as play­ing
the piano for the group.
The orchestra featured a
number of outstanding musi­cians,
with excellent lead men
on the alto and ban saxes,
trombones, and trumpet.
The trombone sound was
too often covered, owing
probably to the stage arrange­ment
of the band and the loud
center mike. _
The Kenton Orchestra
finished the evening with
Duke Ellington's "Take the 'A'
Train," leaving the audience
on its feet, still wanting more.

Oncoming freshmen treated as All students
. Approximately 2,200 incom­ing
freshmen attended pre-college
counseling sessions
held on campus during June
and July, according to the
office of pre-college counsel­ing.
The purpose of the program
was to acquaint incoming
freshmen with the campus and
the workings of campus life.
During each two day session,
the new students met with Uni­versity
officials, academic
deans in their curricula, and
leaders of student organiza­tions,
according to Clark
Hungerford, student assistant
to Robert B. Strong, director of
high school and junior college
relations.
This year the program
emphasis was on treating the
incoming students as if they
were already a part of the
University, Hungerford said.
This was accomplished
through the cooperation of stu­dent
orientation leaders, who
acted as guides to the new stu­dents,
and through "Bad
Brad's Bash," a joint enter­tainment
program sponsored
by Spectra and the Student
Government Association
(SGA). The program consisted
of a movie orgy and a series of
concerts by "Bitterblu," a
local band.
Student leaders were able to
give the new students the
"benefit of their years at AU,"
Hungerford said. The enter­tainment
"gave the freshmen
a chance to be with other stu­dents."
"I thought the program was
effective and successful for the
students," he said.
Journalism is now seperate dept.
in school of arts and sciences
By Gordon Cone
Managing Editor
Auburn's new Department
of Journalism opened it's
doors to students on July 1, in
spite of the fact that the school
has been offering journalism
in it's curriculum and turning
out journalism graduates for
many years.
Journalism courses were
first offered in 1919, and in
1934 a combination English-
Journalism major was offer­ed.
In 1964 a full major was
offered. Up until the present
time, the journalism
curriculum was a part of the
English Department.
Jack Simms, former deputy
sports editor for the Associated
Press in New York, and a 1949
graduate of Auburn, is the
head of the Department.
Simms was raised in Auburn,
and served as editor of The
Plainsman while in school.
While Auburn's program
was as good as anywhere,
he felt that there is room for
change in some areas, Simms
said.
"Auburn's program is good
now, and has a great record,"
Simms said. "I would be crazy
to come in and start making
big changes."
"However, there are some
areas where there may be room
for improvement, and I
certainly- plan to look into
those."
Simms said Auburn's
graduates in the past would be
good sources for ideas about
keeping the department up to
date.
"I would like to contact for­mer
students that are now in
the newspaper business and
ask them what they needed
that they perhaps didn't get
here," he said. Then we can
look at the program and make
additions where they are need­ed.';
Simms said he believes most
journalism students weren't in
journalism for the salary, but
because the work was interest­ing
and challenging.
"I know of people who are
making a good living, but are
bored with their job," he said.
"In the newspaper business, a
person has to be willing to
make some sacrifices at first,
but if he has the ability and
will work in journalism, he will
make a good living."

Wild dog problems WANT ADS
under study here
Very few modern Ameri­cans
living in small towns or
cities ever think much about
packs of wild or feral dogs. But
recently, landowners and
game managers have become
increasingly concerned over
the effects of feral dogs on live­stock
and wildlife species.
A study, conducted through
the Alabama Agricultural
Experiment Station, is
researching the problem of
feral dogs in Alabama. The
study will investigate their
interaction with wildlife,
disease carrying potential,
and various population fac­tors
in the feral dog packs.
According to Keith Causey,
associate professor of zoology
and project leader for the
study, feral: dogs are those
dogs receiving no protection or
care from man. Some were
born in the wild, while others
were domesticated and revert­ed
to the wild.
Wild dog studies have been
made in the Saugahatcb.ee re­search
area near Auburn, at
the Childersburg research
area in Talladega County, and
special studies with white-tail­ed
deer and wild dogs at the Ft.
Rucker Military Reservation
in Dale and Coffee counties.
In order to study the ani­mals,
dogs are captured using
live traps. The animals are
then outfitted with special
radiotransmitters before being
freed. The complete transmit­ting
assembly is embedded
into a collar, which has no
apparent physical or
behavioral effects on the dogs.
While in the traps, wild dogs
are distinguished from others
by aggressive behavior, such
as barking, attempting to bite,
and growling, while tame dogs
usually are friendly and re­sponsive
to humans. After
tracking the dogs through the
radio signals transmitted from
their collars, those dogs found
to frequent homes are
classified as free-ranging
dogs.
Through the use of radio
tracking, researchers can lo­cate
the wild dogs and observe
them to determine pack
composition, habitat utiliza­tion,
and predatory habits.
The wild dog role as a
scavenger or predator is being
studied by determining some
of their food gathering habits
and observing their associa­tion
with other species,
especially the white-tailed
deer. Harrassment and
predation of the deer is investi­gated
by observing deer
chased, recording any kills,
and by searching loafing areas
used immediately following
deer chases for further evi­dence
or predation.
At the time of capturing and
instrumenting the dogs, blood,
fecal, and urine samples are
also taken for analysis by the
School of Veterinary Medicine
for occurrence of disease.
Parasitic samples are also
taken for analysis.
- Through the. results of the
wild dog studies, researchers-are
hoping to be able to help
control economic losses to.
livestock, determine the
disease carrying potential of
the wild dogs, and observe the
relationship of the dogs to the
other species of wildlife.

A State Department Exhibi­tion
of fine paintings will soon
be stored in Biggin Hall,
according to Vern Swanson,
assistant professor of art.
The collection must be
repaired and stored in a suit­able
vault as a requirement of
the National Endowment for
Arts, which may provide a
$10,000 grant for painting
restoration, and insurance
companies, which charge more
for protection when no storage
area is available.
For this reason the Univer­sity
collection of paintings
have been uninsured in the
past.
The vault at Biggin was ori­ginally
designated for use by
the art department and was
used for the collection for
several years. The architec­tural
school has used the safe
until recently when it was
returned to use by the art
department.
The vault is currently being
readied to house the Univer­sity
art collection. The paint­ings
are presently being stored
in Smith Hall.
There will be three phases in
the restoration of the paint­ings.
The vault must first be
prepared and then the paint­ings
cataloged. The final step
wil be the actual restoration of
the paintings which will be
done by the Palmeranz Com­pany
in Evanston, IL.
The paintings will be placed
on exhibit in the Union Build­ing,
Smith Hall, Biggin Hall
Library and the future Fine
Arts Complex Museum and
Gallery.

philosopher in all of us. At times, lounging under a shady

the most devoted student away from the rigors of the
academic world.
Skills kits now for
self improvement
By Carol Williams
Plainsman Staff Writer
Have you ever walked out of
class with cramped fingers, a
whirling head and illegible
notes? Have you ever finished
a lengthy reading assignment
with no idea of what you just
read?
Most people experience one
or the other predicament at
least once a week, unless they
long ago gave up taking notes
or reading assignments. For
those who do try, but feel
they're fighting a losing battle,
there is help.
Learning skills kits are
available at Student Develop­ment
Services in Moll Hall.
According to Bonnie Burrows,
psychometrist at Student
Development Services, the self
improvement kits consist of
listening to cassettes, record­ing
responses and evaluating
personal progress. The .kits are
Effective Reading, Effective
Notetaking, Bricfhand, and
Effective Listening.
Each of the four courses
offered may be taken
individually or in groups.
While it helps to call for an
appointment, Burrows said, it
is not necessary. There is no
charge for the service.
The four programs are
designed to improve communi­cation
skills. They help stu-
.dents develop better study
habits and learning techni­ques.
Effective Reading is
designed to double or itripte
present reading speed while
improving comprehension. It
is an eight hour program, and
helps you overcome problems
that cause most people to read
slowly and ineffectively.
The intention of Effective
Notetaking is to teach you
to take accurate notes. A five
and one half hour series, it
demonstrates how to recog­nize
and record main points
and supporting details. These
notes are easy to read and
review, Burrows said.
Briefhand is a six hour
course intended to double
natural writing speed. It is a
systematic approach to
shortening words and phrases,
based on standard abbrevia­tions.
This program helps you
take good notes at a fast pace.
Another program, Effective
Listening, seeks to double re­tention
of spoken informa­tion.
The three hour course
provides instruction on how to
condense lengthy instruc­tions;
conversations and lec­tures
into major points,
Burrows said. .
Next time you wander out of
class with no notion of what
you just wrote, read or heard,
consider the {.earning Skills
Program.

VISITATION
"Any compromise of this
sort will tend to make Auburn
like everywhere else, and to us
that would be a shame," the
mother stated.
Some parents said they
would withdraw their
daughters from Auburn if the
rules are relaxed and enroll
them within commuting dis­tance
of home. Others said
they would move their
daughters into apartments.
Parents favoring a change
in policy on male visitation
from page one
often offered suggestions for a
workable plan, such as allow­ing
the women to vote on the
policy each quarter, or impos­ing
some restriction, such as
during the final examination
period.
Some who voiced reasons for
their approval, however, were
more reflective of current
trends of society, for example,
"For Auburn University to
continue to provide a well-rounded
educational
experience, it is necessary to
amend some of the rules to
mesh with today's society,"
one parent stated.
Another said, "women are
not children, it's time we start­ed
treating them like adults."
According to Vallery, no
definite decision will be made
concerning male visitation
until the Board of Trustees
meets in late August.
"I felt it was a fair survey,"
said Glenda Earwood, presi­dent
of AWS.

Dropped curbs to
help handicapped
Various renovation projects
are planned especially to help'
handicapped students get
around better on campus,
according to Pat McPheeters,
head of the renovation project.
Approximately 120 curbs
will be dropped in order for
wheel chairs to safely and
easily cross streets. A system
of ramps in various places
about the campus are also
being built.
McPheeters said that cer­tain
doors at Haley Center, the
Library, and the new Phar­macy
building will be elec­trically
wired so that handi­capped
students will be able to
open the doors by remote con­trol.
Each student needing
remote control switches will be
issued one each quarter.
Two rooms in Little Hall and
two in Billiard Hall are being

Bridge (her Troubled Wafers
Knights Alumni Band
to play at reunion
These students seem to have found a
bridge to span the gap created by their
problems. It's a well-worn bridge, built
sometimes out of love, sometimes trust,
honesty, or understanding. It has been
and will continue to be a comfort to many
people.
For those who find a solution to their
problems, life as a student is made easier.
For those who don't, it will be found: ano­ther
time, another place.
Alumni of the Auburn
Knights orchestra will meet
Friday and Saturday at the
Ail-American Inn. Former
members of the band will come
from Japan, Hawaii and prac­tically
every other state in the
country.
The newly formed Auburn
Knights Alumni Band will be
conducted by Dick Johnson of
Atlanta. The band will give a
one hour performance of
yesteryear tunes and arrange­ments
on Saturday.
A 30 minute concert given by
the original 1937 band will
consist of music of their year
and will be directed by Jim
Vance, a bank vice president
from Birmingham.

Remember war bonds and
Harry James? Nelson Eddy
and sugar rationing? Padded
shoulders and the Andrews
Sisters? Our boys over there
and the USO?

sentimental journey back to
the 1940s as Spectra Pro­gramming
of the Auburn
Union presents the annual
Mrs. AuburnPageant.
This year, forty-two girls
will compete for the title of
Mrs. Auburn. The honor
entitles her to be an official
hostess for the Auburn Union
and for the University. The
Pageant will be in the ball­room
of the Auburn Union on
Tuesday at 7:30 p,m.
Music will be provided by
"Le Hot Ritz" of Auburn.
