AU absorbed into University of Alabama
By Gregg Lovelace
Tidesman Staff Writer
Auburn University and its extension,
Auburn University at
Montgomery (AUM), have been
made branches of the University
of Alabama, Gov. George C. Wallace
announced at a faculty meeting
here Friday.
Auburn's name has been
changed to the University of Alabama
at Auburn (UAA), Wallace
said. The University of Alabama
system formerly consisted
only of universities located at Birmingham
(UAB), Huntsville
(UAH), and Tuscaloosa.
"This move has been in the planning
stage for some time now,"
Wallace said, adding that he
hoped the consolidation wouldn't
hamper the traditional football
rivalry between Auburn and Tus-
Unknowns
abscond with
Tidesman ed
By Rhonda Greaser
Tidesman Staff Writer
Bill Wood, editor of The Tides-man,
was abducted early Sunday
from his home in Neil House
Manor by three unknown men.
The kidnappers contacted Managing
Editor Greg Lisby at the office
later that night, Lisby said.
No demands have been made by
the three men, but Lisby believes
that the kidnapping was planned
by area theatre owners who objected
to Wood's columns on X-rated
movies. "He had had several
threats in the past few weeks from
the group," Lisby said. "They felt
his columns made their late shows
unpopular with the intellectua
crowd, and that Bill inferred they
were only for rednecks."
Rumors say that Wood will be released
only if the staff relinquishes
their "streaking fund,"
approximately $15,000 they have
raised to hire streakers for the
campus. "We have talked it over,
and we just don't think it would be
worth our streaking fund to have
him back," Lisby said. "He was a
good editor in his time, but I really
don't mind taking over his duties."
The Communications Board
has named Lisby editor for the
remainder of the school year.
The kidnappers left a note at
Wood's home saying that they
would call the office and ask to
place a classified ad in the paper.
"We've been trying to answer all
those crank calls ourselves," Lisby
said. "But trying to put out a paper
comes first. Bill would agree I'm
sure."
When last seen, Wood was wearing
a dinner jacket, white ruffled
shirt and his tennis shoes, authorities
have determined.
caloosa. "However, the eagle will
have to be phased out as Auburn's
mascot," Wallace said. "We are
having an elephant shipped from
Rhodesia to take War Eagle IV's
place but ya'll can name him 'War
Eagle,' if you like."
Auburn's colors will remain
orange and azure but the name of
the football, basketball, baseball,
track and the other teams-will be
changed to The Azure Tide. The
Auburn Plainsman has been renamed
The Auburn Tidesman and
will be published daily in a tabloid
format emulating the campus
newspaper at UA, The Crimson:
White.
Pres. Harry M. Philpott announced
at the meeting that with
the consolidation, he was stepping
down as president of the University
and informed the audience
that Dr. H. Floyd Vallery, assistant
to the president, would take
up the presidential reins.
"We thought about this and discussed
it for a long time and we feel
that Vallery is the best qualified
person for the position due to his
excellent work as University
Ombudsman during the past
year," Philpott said.
Wallace said Vallery's duties
ODK sponsored
would be assumed by Philpott until
his projected retirement or divorce,
whichever comes first.
"Mind you, this can in no way be
considered a demotion," Wallace
said. "This is the way Harry wants
it and we are obliged to comply
with his wishes."
It is rumored that Philpott will
accept the presidency of Oral Roberts
University when he retires,
but aides near the president,
specifically Ben T. Lanham,
vice president for administration,
and J. Herb White, director of University
Relations, deny knowledge
of any such plans.
Coach Ralph E. Jordan has been
promoted to assistant to UA football
coach and athletics director,
Paul "Bear" Bryant. In Tuscaloosa,
Bryant said, "I'm very
pleased to have Jordan join my
coaching staff. He is a man with
many brilliant, progressive ideas,
regarding hair rules particularly,
of which I plan to make valuable
Jordan will serve as Bryant's
assistant in charge of discipline.
"I believe the change will be very
beneficial to Auburn, er, UAA,"
SGA PRES. ED MILTON REACTS
. . . To Philpott's announcement
James Foy, dean of stud affairs,
said after the meeting. "Nothing's
really changed. This is the same
great school it's always been." Foy
then left and went to Toomer's Corner
and practiced a few
"RooooolllllllllI Tide!!!!!!'s".
The only person who voiced
overt opposition to the consolidation
was Dr. Henry Dawson,
father of the Sand Hill Primitive
Baptist Church.
"It's immoral, you s.o.g.," he
cried in an exclusive interview
with The Tidesman. "I believe the
consolidation can only make a bad
situation worse. More vile smut
will flow into Auburn because of
the merger and I will be forced to
take my case to the national press
and the president of the U.S. of A."
Smudgepot streaks to revealing chats

SMUDGEPOT STREAKS
. . . To meet students
By Ruth Grinch
Tidesman Staff Writer
Tyke Wrong, president of ODK,
announced today that this quarter's
"Meet the President in the
Park" would be replaced this
spring with a "Catch him for a
Comment on the Concourse,"
featuring Harry M. Smudgepot
streaking every hour on the hour.
Students who can catch him and
make him stop long enough to
answer a question will be given the
run-around, just the same as always,
Wrong said.
"I always tried to find the most
obscure place to hide, I mean stay,
during those meet the student
things," Smudgepot said. "But
somehow the little creeps always
found me. I just want to see one of
the smartalecky questioners catch
me."
Smudgepot has reportedly prepared
for the administrative
streak by running every night
around his back yard. "I even
bought some track shoes this
morning," he said. "I plan to have
one limousine driven by an ODK
member to drop me off at Commons
and another pick me up on
the other side. It'll be easier to
prepare for the run than for those
picky questions students usually
ask."
Dean of Women Doggie Mater
will be scheduled for the "Catch
'em for a Comment" series later in
the quarter, Wrong said. "It's just
not the appropriate thing to do to
leave the administration open to
attack the way the thing has been
in the past," Mater said. "This will
be a lot fairer. If anyone will catch
me, and I sure hope they try to, I'll
be glad, more than glad to answer
any questions. Just so they don't
try to trip me up, with their questions
that is."
Smudgepot and Mater were
asked to streak for ODK together,
but Mater objected saying, "If I'm
to do this thing, I want the spotlight
on me, and no one else."
Senate backs ERA;
measure ratified
By Ruth Gutslaw
Tidesman Staff Writer
"We owe the passage of the
.Equal Rights Amendment to the
Auburn Student Senate," a spokesman
for the Alabama state legislature
said early Sunday when the
amendment was ratified unanimously
in a special session.
Letters sent to the Alabama
legislators from Auburn's Senate
reportedly "convinced" many of
the members of the House and
Senate to vote in favor of the
amendment.
"The voice of the Auburn
woman has long had a ruling
hand," Gov. George C. Wallace
said, "In fact, the student senates
around the state are beginning to
have more and more real political
power. What they suggest. . . we
usually do."
Jane Black, off-base senator
who first presented the resolution
stating that "the Senate hereby
supports the ERA and recognizes
the need for its passage and existence,
whereas the Senate recognizes
the worth of women, where- '
as there are iseveral' women senators
to placate with this resolution,
whereas one of them knows
what the ERA is," made the following
statement: "It is important
that we have equal or better than
equal rights. I'm trying to get into
law school . . . you see the problems
that might arise. Over two
per cent of the students that voted
me into office know what the ERA
is . . . of those I'm almost certain a
third would favor it. I knew if the
Student Senate came out in support
of the amendment it would
soon pass.
"There are only a couple of us
women radicals on the Auburn
campus," Black continued. "And
I'm getting married soon... we had
to do something to insure that
women's rights would still be protected
after I'm busy with a home
and family."

Buxom coed wins Chewacla title
By Kate Smith
Tidesman Staff Writer
"This is the happiest moment of
my life," pretty blue-eyed Pamela
Lavaliere said when she was
crowned Miss Chewacla Park near
Auburn Saturday. "All my life I've
been preparing for this day,'' the
voluptuous Auburn coed
said, "and finally my dream has
come true." _
Pamela, who hails from Pine
Level, AL, was the lucky girl
chosen from among 500 luscious
lovelies competing for the title of
Miss Chewacle Park 1974. After
walking on a runway of picnic
benches, Pamela told the judges
that she planned to give all of her
prize money to charity. "I'm going
to keep the crown, though," she
said, "just to remind me of this
glorious moment."
Pam said her life's ambition is to
do commercials for Ultra-Brite.
"That's why I feel my education
here at Auburn is :_so valuable,"
she said.
Drill field to be poved
with concrete by 1978
By Henrico Frisbey
Tidesman Staff Writer
Max Morris drill field is going to
be paved over with concrete,
announced Pres. Harry M. Phil-pott
at an informal press conference
last night. Bids for the project
have been let, he said, with the
scheduled completion date for the
project set for spring 1978.
"There's been such a hassle over
it we've decided to go ahead and do
the job right," Philpott said. He
cited several reasons for the paving
of the field: "Using the field as
a parking lot will continually
thwart any attempt to merely
level it out. The injuries caused by
chuck holes are entirely
unnecessary."
"As far as the ROTC department
goes, they all favor the idea
except for the Ranger Cadets, who
will have to look for a new vacant
lot to dig up with their bare hands
whenever they get the urge," Philpott
said.
"Paving will also curb
streakers," he said. "In addition
to concrete, we plan to string piano
wire all over the field at ankle
height. Then if any streaker is able
to make his way through, I'll personally
give him a War Eagle ascot,"
Philpott promised.
"Yes, anyone who runs naked
across the drill field deserves to get
his ascot," he commented.
The mixture to be used in the
concrete will contain .30 per cent
left-over mashed potatoes from
Terrell Dining Hall as a filler.
Other specifications will include
25 per cent gold to be added to the
mixture to insure a cost overrun,
said Director of Buildings and
Grounds Linwood E. Funchess.
Paving also will reduce injuries,
said Dr. Grant Jarvis, director of
the Student Health Center. "We
prefer working with gashes
instead of broken bones and
sprains," he said. "We find we get
fewer on-the-spot complaints
about treatment when the patient
is screaming in pain."
DOOHER'S DRUGS
Due to the prosperous business
in selling drugs, any drug will
be given free to any person
for any illness. As our motto
j. says: Doom will prevail with
I drugs at your avail.
The runner-up, Miss Susan
Greek, was presented a bouquet of
dandelions. Commenting on
Pam's victory Susan said, "I'm
going to tell everyone on campus
that her whole sorority, Alpha
Delta Pi, wears falsies."
The daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
David Lavaliere of Pine Level,
Pam is majoring in elementary
education. When asked about her
daughter's success, Mrs. Lavaliere
said, "I'm just so glad I gave
up that new winter coat 10 years
ago so we could put braces on
Pam's teeth."
Awards also were presented to
Miss Talent Chewacla Park and
Miss Congeniality Chewacla
Park. Miss Tammy Toothface was
the unanimous choice of the judges
in the talent competition. She
bedazzled the entire panel by licking
15,000 S & H Green Stamps
and pasting them in a green,
stamps book in 30 seconds flat.
Miss Sally Sorority was chosen
as Miss Congeniality Chewacla
Park. "I owe all my success to 10
years of sorority life," Sally said.
The distinguished panel of
judges, all experts in the field of
coed beauty, included Milton,
Robert Meyer Representing Mag
Dorm, Gloria Steinham who cast
her vote in abscentia, head track
coach Mel Rosen, former "wrestling
coach Swede Umbach,
Miss Auburn 1918 Fredrick Filler.
New 24-minute teller service
started by Last National Bank
By Enrico Frisbey
Tidesmaf Staff Writer
The round-the-clock, 24-hour
check-cashing service has been
modified to a 24-minute service,
announced Vice President for
Administration Ben T. Lanham at
Friday's meeting of the Last
National ' Bank's Board of Directors.
"This is being done in the best
interest of the students," Lanham
said, "and at Last National you
can get four and three-quarter per
cent. That's the best in town."
The minutes the service would
be open for business would be from
1 to 1:24 a.m., Lanham noted.
"The big question is whether or
not we canafford to keep such a service
at all," Lanham told the other
directors. "No one seems to know
that the regular banks in the area
are offering enticing come-ons for
student business."
"Why even now, Last National
is accepting deposits on savings
accounts with no service charge,"
he said.
Asked how the University
would handlebad checks, Lanham
said he "had ways of getting
money from even the most
uncooperative of clients."
"The students must think of the
long term," he commented, "and
not be so concerned about where
he or she is going to get tomorrow's
money. The students ought
to learn how to wait in line during
the bank's busuness hours."
Lanham said one of the major
criteria for cashing checks and
making loans to students was to
see who passed out in line. The
checks of those still standing were
cashed, he said. "The Union teller
would spoil all that for the merchants,"
he said.
The only entertainment at the
bank is to make bets on which way
the kids will fall when they pass
out. Besides, we divvy up the loose
chahge that falls out of their
pockets when they hit the floor."
"But, alas, one must bend with
the tide . . . er . . . flow with the
breeze . . . whatever, anyway, I
figure just a few months of this
Union teller and the students will
yearn for the good old days with
-he Last National Bank,"Lanham
speculated.

In honor of White Heritage
Week, the City of Auburn has
decreed that all White citizens will
be reserved special seats in the
front of municipal buses. Municipal
buses will be brought in from
Montgomery for the occasion
since the city does not own
any.
"The week will end with the historic
recreation of the burning of a
cross," Bibbernathy said, "as well
as the Black church that's under
it."
Happy Anniversary
Dean Cater (Mrs. Ray Ritland) surprised the Auburn community
Sunday by breaking years of silence about her love life.
The occasion? Her 50th wedding anniversary. Shown here with
her two granddaughters, Mary Lou and Becky Sue, Cater commented,
"There's no use pretending anymore."
Agnew to hold tax seminar
By Dareyou Bearit
Tidesman Staff Writer
Former Vice President Spiro T.
Agnew will give a seminar for
Auburn students on "how to .
actually make money from your
income taxes," according to Spectra
Program Chairman Fred
Eisenhower.
"It's certainly a hell of an honor
to have such a highly-esteemed tax
consultant in Auburn," Eisenhower
said. "I just pulled a few
strings with Dickie to get him out
of jail on bond and down here for
the seminar."
The former Maryland governor,
who resigned his vice post last
year, will give the seminar the
week before income tax returns are
due April 15.
In a telephone interview with
The Tidesman, Agnew said while
in jail he had been working on his
book "How I Made a Million Off
My Income Taxes." He said he
planned to set up a stand at the
seminar to sell the books. "II!!! '"•
happy to autograph my b<"V"..i

Business study
reveals students
pay through nose
The average Auburn student
pays three times more income tax
than the President of the United
States, according to a study recently
released by the School of
Business.
The research team, headed by
Charles R. Snow, ass. prof, of
mngmnt., said that although Auburn
students actually pay less
than the President to the IRS,
proportionately they pay 33 per
cent more than the commander in
chief.
"I'm telling you folks that this is
the way the figures add up," Snow
said. "I thought about this for a
long time in my Republican soul
before I showed them to anybody,"
he said, "but I feel that if
it's down here in black and white
someone will find out sooner or
later anyway."

spasmodically in the Tidesman.
The female women also were
charged with sponsoring
Communist-backed leadership
conferences that promoted a perverted
outlook as to the subservient
rple of women in American
society, according to city police.
After her release on $10,000
bond, Beth Rodd, Mortar Board
president, held a press conference,
which only WEGL News
Director John Gillespie attended
with a tape recorder, and blamed
The Plainsman (now The Tides-man)
for originally starting the
"Teachers in Perspective/
series. "If Mortar Board was
arrested them The Tidesman staff
should be arrested also as accessories
" Todd claimed. "The editor
and managing editor of The
Tidesman even attended and
actively participated in our leadership
conference."
"Man, you're not gonna get me
to say a damn thing," Editor Bill
Wood said. Managing Editor Greg
Lisby's comments were unprintable,
but, in so many words, he
suggested that Todd see him personally
about the matter.
According to police, if Mortar
Board members, who are chosen
on the basis of leadership, scholarship
and service, cannot link The
Tidesman more closely with the alleged
crime, "then they'll be up the
proverbial creek without the
proverbial paddle."
Cater brings sex
to dormitory life
By Loretta Schnitzel
Tidesman Staff Writer
The evils of coed dormitories
could become commonplace at the
University of Alabama at Auburn
soon with the advent of the first coed
dorm on campus, Dean of Women
Katherine Cater said Tuesday.
Arrangements now are being
made to combine Magnolia Hall
and Noble Hall by building the
Katherine Cater Wing connecting
the formerly male and female
dorms. There are also plans to
make Dorms J and K coed.
"Mind you, girls will still have
girl roommates and suitemates,"
Cater said. "Only the dorms will be
coed; the floors will still be segregated
by sex."
A four-foot thick cement wall
will be built down the middle of the

A four-foot thick cement wall
will be built down the middle of the
Cater Wing of Mag Noble Hall and
"girls will live on one side of the
wall and boys on the other and
never the twain shall meet," Cater
said.
In Dorms J and K, the first three
floors will be occupied by girls and
the top three by boys. Elevators
will serve the first three floors
only. Access to the boys section
will be by stairway. "Armed

beginning today. "We especially
need people experienced in lay-out

sure no non-females use them,"
Cater said.
Conversion construction of the
four dorms is scheduled to take
place within the week and "will
probably be completed soon after
Cater's demise so the Cater wing in
Mag Noble Hall will be a memorial
to a fine, upstanding woman who
worked like hell for Auburn," according
to Pres. H. Floyd Vallery.
Cater said she had encountered
one small problem already in connection
with the coed dorms. "I've
been having an absolutely ungodly
time finding dorm parents that
fit University specifications," she
said.
Regulations state that dorm
parents must be married (no common
law one-nighters allowed) for
at least 40 years and must have
had three legitimate and no illegitimate
children during that
time who also must be married
now. Neither dorm parent must
smoke, drink, use tabacco or tell
dirty Polish jokes on Jewish holidays.
Each must be certified by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation in
the use of firearms, explosives and
fingerprinting. Lastly, each must
have suDDorted Gov. George C.
Wallace in the 1972 presidential
race and they must sleep in single
beds.
"I think the regulations are very
fair," Cater said, "I'm just having
a few problems finding dorm
parents who are demolition experts.
We do, however, have a
couple who are ex-Green Beret sergeants
whom we are interviewing
now."
Each coed dorm also will have a
VD emergency treatment station
which will be equipped for emergency
sterilizations, just in case.
"I hope to inspire Auburn males
to be more gentlemanly," Cater
said, "but we will be prepared in
case something unexpected happens.
I feel we're being very open-minded
about the entire matter."
Greeks grin and bare it

Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority
and Delta Chi fraternity here have
been challenged by Kappa Kappa
Gamma and Kappa Alpha fraternity
at University of Alabama to
compete to see who can raise the
most money in a cancer streak
April 6.
The runners will be collecting
from industries, businesses,
alumni and from the general
public door to door. According to a
UA news release, "The streakers
will pick their victim and then
streak back and forth in front of
him until he becomes so repulsed
that he voluntarily contributes of
himself and helps wipe out cancer
in his lifetime."
The goal of the nude runathon is
$10,000,000 which a spokeswoman
for Kappa Kappa Gamma
said was not much "considering
the bodies of some of the sisters we
plan to run. The males can repulse
their victims if they like; we plan to
seduce ours into giving."

laid down new stringent hair rules
for all Auburn athletes.
The new hair rule Bryant explained,
is to give the athlete
"more discipline, a uniformed look
and make them look nifty."
Not only will the athletes have a
new look on their heads, but they
will also be required to wear
leashes anytime they go more than
300 yards from Sewall Hall.
Langner sues the trainer
for two million dollars
By lam Lost
Tidesman Sportswriter
Auburn athletic trainer Kenny
Howard is being sued for two
million dollars by former Auburn
football hero David Langner.
Langner who filed the malpractice
suit in local court yesterday
said the payment would be for
damages that occurred last season
when Howard did work on
Langner's broken hand.
"The hand might still be fixed,"
said Langner, "but my wrist will
he limn forever. At this time all my
fingers are curled except for the
middle one." Langner's lawyers
stated that the injury will
probably ruin a very promising
fighting career for the Tiger great.
Howard said he was shocked
when he first heard the news
because he had been on the best of
terms with Langner. "I can't believe
David would want to do this
to me. I treated the hand the best I
could. I just don't know what could
have gone wrong, although
complications are not unusual in
cases like this.
When coach Ralph Jordan a
close friend of Howard heard
the news, he said, "Kenny Howard
is one of the finest trainers and
people that I know. I also know
that the many Auburn athletic
supporters that knew and respect
Kenny will aid him in his time of
need."
"This is just another one of our
new Progressive discipline policies
that coach Jordan suggested
to me and I fully agree with. If we
want to have good teams we just
oan't let our boys wander around
shiftlessly by themselves."
Seeing that there are so many
athletes to watch, Bryant said he
would ask service organizations
such as Alpha Phi Omega to show
their school sqirit by helping as
guards.
The new hair style requires no
hair on the forehead or the neck,
and it must end four inches above
the ear. "Definitely no sideburns
will be tolerated," said Bryant.
No facial hair will be allowed and
players will be required to shave
twice a day. "I wish we had
thought of these rules a few years
ago in Tuscaloosa, we might have
produced some better football
teams," Bryant remarked.
Several athletes were angered
when they heard the ndw rules.
All-star linebacker Ken Bernich
found while hanging from his
dorm Ibalcony said, "I think it's a
disgrace that we should be treated
like animals; after all we're almost
human."
Another football player Tom
Gossom said, "This is definitely an
attack aimed at the styles of the
black athletes. The only reason
they made it uniform is to disguise
their true intent."
Other coaches however were
elated with the news. Coach
Luther Young said that with the
new hair rules "we will become
more effective on the tennis courts.
Discipline has, of course, been our
whole problem."
Coach Bryant also sees the new
hair rules as a money-making
source. "With the clean look,
alumni will shower us with donations
and also • bring larger
crowds in the sports events. No one
will pay good money to see a hairy
athlete."
When asked if the coaching staff
will adopt this hair style to set an
example, coach Bryant commented,
"No, we can't do that.
Besides we're individuals."
Boseballers show
The Auburn Tiger baseball team will sponsor a fashion show for
the All Campus Fund Drive on April 4. "It was the idea of the
players and I think it shows what kind of great kids they are," said
Coach Paul Nix.
The team will fashion their new powder blue and powder orange
uniforms that can be wom in several attractive combinations.
"Due to the merging of the schools we also have a cute light red
outfit also," said Nix.

New paper
Wilson forms Committee
By Ruthless Grappler
Tidesman Staff Writer
Mike Wilson, former vice president
of the Student Government
Association, announced Thursday
the beginnings of a new underground
newspaper to be distributed
in Auburn. The Committee
will be a "viable indication of
student input," Wilson said as he
described his new 12-page tabloid.
"The Tidesman has served a
useful purpose in the past," Wilson
said, "but they have sidestepped
a lot of issues that the students
need to know about. I was
especially disappointed that they
didn't play the streaker deal a lot
bigger. That was sponsored by my
fraternity, you know."
Wilson's paper will not be
"another public relations organ,"
Wilson said. He accused The Tides-man
of trying to make the SGA
look better than it actually is, adding
that a "muckraking renewal"
is what the campus needs.
Campus police hit bottom;
require stomper stickers
Chief Millard E. Lawman of
Campus Security, announced
early today that all feet must be
registered beginning summer
quarter before students can walk
on the campus. "They just have to
come by the Campus Security office
and let us put a sticker on their
shoe," Dawson said.
All seniors, faculty members
and administration will receive an
A sticker, Lawman explained, that
entitles them to walk on any urea
of the campus at any time of day.
Juniors and sophomores will have
the soles of their shoes stamped
with B stickers, designating walking
privileges within three feet of
Haley Center during the hours of 8
a.m. until 4 p.m. Freshmen may
walk on bricks painted blue on the
Haley Center Concourse between
the hours of 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., if
they have C stickers.
Campus security officers will be
checking for proper sticker identification
throughout the day,
beginning July 1, Lawman said.
"We'll just ask the students to raise
their foot (the right one will bear
the sticker) and we'll make sure
that it's properly marked. Any improperly
marked feet will be impounded,
the shoes that is."
All impounded shoes will be kept
at the Security Office and can be
picked up at any time during the
quarter. There will be an auction of
all impounded shoes at the end of
the quarter open to all students,
Lawman said. Students will be
notified of the auction date
through an advertisement in The
Tidesman. "We never pay the
paper for this service," Lawman
said, "so it won't increase costs."
Lovers Phamous Photos
Auburn University is embark
ing on a program to mark off additional
car lanes on present bicycle
lanes throughout campus, Campus
Security Chief Millard Lawman
announced Wednesday.
"Of course the lanes will have to
be marked off at the expense of
some bicycle parking spaces on ca-pus,
but it should help relii'Ve some
of the traffic on campus," Lawman
said.
Many students have started riding
cars to classes because of the
The Committee will be printed
on yellow paper, Wilson said, to
differentiate between his paper
and the gold Communique, the official
SGA publication. "I'm trying
to get as far away from the
SGA image as I can. I've been a
journalist at heart all along, and
finally I get the chance to show my
true way with words. At this I'm
very, very good."
Bill Alvis, senator from way-off,
will be the business manager for
The Committee. He got the job,
Wilson said, "because he needed
the money due to lack of interest in
Invitations this year . . . and because
he's my friend . . . and because
he's a Spade. He met all of
the qualifications."
Managing Editor of The Committee
will be former SGA president
Ed Milton.

Chambers replaced by pigeon
By Beuluh Baker
Tidesman Staff Writer.
Student Government Association
Pres. Ed Milton announced
Wednesday that Press Secretary
Don Chambers will be replaced by
a carrier pigeon.
"The carrier pigeon > has been
found to be 75 per cent more efficient
as far as notifying the press
of upcoming events," Milton said.
"Chambers is well-known for loosing
media notification cards and
for forgeting to tell The Tidesman
about a change in time or place for
meeting."
The SGA cabinet report also
found that a carrier- pigeon would
not make enemies as fast as Chambers.
The study reported one
incident at WEGL-FM when Max
-Harbuck, program director, threw
his earphones on the ground and
ran after Chambers with a microphone
cord, trying to choke him.
Milton alluded to the fact that
SGA is primarily pleased with the
upcoming replacement because
pigeons can't talk. "We have had
some trouble with Chambers putting
both feet in his mouth and
answering the telephone and then
hanging up in the middle of a conversation,"
Milton said.
Chambers will reportedly challenge
the replacement before the
Communications Board at its
meeting Friday.
Commenting on the replacement
and the informal survey,
Robert Reynolds, SGA secretary of
public relations, said, "Well, the
pigeon does have a smaller
mouth."
MM
SGA President Red Jilton was awarded the "Lovers' Longevity
Award" by the IFC in coordination with the AH Campus
Fund Drive. TTie award is given each year to the frat man who
shows the most "President and determined efforts to get along
with the opposite sex." Milton in the earliest stages of his
cassanova role. This picture and testimonies by members of a
group called the "Milton Harem" won the award for Milton.
Cor lanes on campus set
to relieve bike traffic jam
present congested bicycle traffic,
Lawman said. "They find it is
healthier to ride cars to class and
are often faster because they can
avoid many traffic regulations. If
they continue to violate the laws,
we will have to start enforcing traffic
laws on cars," Lawman said.
Lawman said appropriations for
the car lanes came after considerable
pressure from a small
group of car riders who insisted
that "cars have as much right to
use of the roads as bicycles."

The results of the most recent
SGA survey were announced
today by SGA President Red Jil-ton.
The survey questioning "the
effectiveness of SGA surveys" was
placed around campus in conspicuous
spots to "try and gauge student
interest," Jilton said.
Twelve people rated the surveys
as effective, two said they were not
effective and there were three students
with no opinion, Jilton said.
"The overwhelming majority felt
that the surveys do serve a useful
purpose in obtaining student input,"
Jilton said.
"The surveys are clear, concise,
never rambling, relevant, inter-line:

I will not cheat,
Question: I was sitting in my VW in the Coliseum parking lot minding
my own business when out of the blue a Student Services, Inc. van
ran into me and bashed the hell out of my car. Then police charged me
with wreckless driving. I consider this a ripoff and demand something
be done about it. Well? —Smashed and parking
Answer: So what else is new? The SSI has been ripping off students
and townspeople alike for as long as anyone can remember. You're no
different from anyone else, buster. However, if you are serious in your
endeavor, we suggest you first consult the telephone listings for The
Family in the Auburn-Opelika area. You need to have the Mafia on your
side before you go after one of its branches.
Question: I am a first quarter freshman coed at Auburn and have just
been asked out on my first date. Since I'm new here and am not yet fully
acquainted with Auburn's do's and don't's, how far should we go on our
first date? (While I'm not a prude, I'm not known as being loose, either).
Thank you. —Embarrassed rushee
Answer: We would recommend that you not go any further than
Columbus or Montgomery or possibly Atlanta if you need an emergency
abortion.
Question: I have a. complaint. I bought a prescription from a downtown
drugstore and almost died after they gave me the wrong type drug.
What can I do? —Down on drugs
Answer: For best results, you should: first, call the Ombudsman
(which you have obviously already done because that is what this is);
second, call the SGA director of consumer relations; third, call the state
of Alabama's office of consumer affairs; and lastly, call the Consumer
Protection Office toll-free (1-800-392-5658). On second thought, you
would be better off if you follow those steps in the reverse order.
Question: I am pregnant and unmarried. Where can I go for help? —I
should have danced all night
Answer: Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity is offering a new type of
assistance to unwed mothers. As part of its new pledge initiation,
neophytes are required to marry an unwed mother. So take heart, all is
not lost.
Question: I received a parking ticket I didn't deserve. How do I get it
taken care of? Need a fix
Answer: Since Campus Police Chief Millard Dawson assured us that
absolutely no one receives a parking ticket unless they deserve it, we
suggest you pay it and don't make waves.
Inaction Line was to have been a weekly service of your (yes,
your!) SGA in The Tidesman, but the turkeys that were putting it
together only could get up the effort to do it once.

Terrible Terrell's
has Hill hot dogs
A recent lack of student business
at Terrell Dining Hall has
prompted University officials to
set up a hot dog stand in the back
corner of the dining hall. Kather-ine
Hurry, head dietician of the
dinning hall said, "I really hope
that this will cause a pick up in the
business at Terrell. Though girls
cannot get their required nutrition
here it will help the rest of the dining
hall."
The hot dog stand has been
given the name of Terrible
Terrell's Hurry said. Sally Sweet,
2EED, commented on the variety
of the stand, "They really have
horrible food but the number of
choices is great, they have 14 different
types of hot dogs and 33 different
kinds of shakes."
"I really hope the girls start eating
at Terrell again," stated Flora
Marksdale, assistant head resident
of Dorm K. "Dean Kitty told
us that they would outlaw hotplates,
and then I would have to
give mine up."
The University hopes to make
up the lost profit by operating the
stand.
By Mitch Kannope
Tidesman Staff Writer
An answer to the energy
shortage that has been plaguing
the United States in recent months
may have been discovered due to
the far-sighted research of an
Auburn research team.
Research team head Reginald I.
Vachon, professor of mechanical
engineering, announced Thursday
that the Auburn School of
Engineering, with the aid of the
Agricultural Extension Service
and the Department of Buildings
and Grounds has developed a
method for generating electricity
by burning dried cow dung in campus
generators.
"Of course the generators will
need a few modifications," Lin-wood
E. Funchess, director of
Buildings and Grounds, said, "but
once the conversion is made, the
generators will burn anything
from No. 2 fuel oil to Red Dagger
Wine."
New requirements
made for women
cheerleader fryouts
New requirements have been set
up for girls wishing to tryout for
cheerleader. "They must have a
'homecoming queen smile' glued to
their flawless face, weigh under
115 lbs., belong to one of the major
sororities, and be able to sweet-talk
their way into or out of anything,"
Jerry Van Mosley, co-head cheerleader
announced.
Funchess said the conversion to
cow dung will provide a cheap,
relatively pollution-free fuel that is
in abundant supply in the Auburn
area. "The smell of the burning
cow dung should not present much
of a problem," Funchess said.
"The stench will be nothing like
the high-sulphur coal we are burn;
ing now."
Vachon alsb said dung has
many advantages over other fuels
presently being used. "With the
fossil fuels presently being used,
once they are burned they are gone
forever. Dried cow dung, on the
other hand, is a renewable resource.
We have even worked out a
recycling program with
Buildings and Grounds, Action
Ecology and the Agricultural
Extension Service," Vachon said.
Vachon said the burned up cow
dung would be emptied from the
furnaces and the ashes would be
bagged and sold as fertilizer. "The
fertilizer would be sold very
cheaply since it would bethrown
away otherwise, and would provide
a completely organic fertilizer,"
he said.
Extension Service Director
Ralph R. Jones said the research
was aided by a grant from the Alabama
Cattlemen and Dairymen's
Associations "who felt that the
increased demand for cow dung
would provide a new market for
cattlemen and end a messy problem."
Wet Windsor uses balloons;
given Tidy Tiger award
"I want to thank all the people
who made sacrifices so that we
could receive this," Rhett Anderson,
4CS, stated as he accepted the
Tidy Tiger for Windsor Hall. The
awards was presented to Windsor
by the Auburn Flower Club for
keeping the premises "exceptionally
clean" during the past
month.
Anderson said he was glad that
someone appreciated the efforts of
the Windsor residents. "It is not
often that you get that many guys
to go out and help when you are
cleaning up the parking lot and the
building."
Clara Clean, president of the Auburn
Flower Club cited the people
that helped make Windsor a cleaner
place to live. She also said she
was pleased that so many of the
residents participated.
When questioned about the
methods that were used to accomplish
this feat he said, "I was out
there one night with my water balloons
trying to clear the building
and the parking lot and some of
the other guys saw me and decided
to help. It turned out to be a mass
effort."

"We hope to raise a bare minimum
to at least cover expenses,"
said Glenda Earwax. president, of
AWS. She said the money from the
dance will be donated to the Salvation
Army to buy clothing for
impoverished school children.
Dance contests will be held

awarded for .several events. Some
of the dances will be "The Stroll,"
"The Bunny Hop," "Polka,"
"Hitchhike," "The Swim," and the
"locomotion."
The Skins will play a series of
songs featuring oldies but nudies.
Their favorite number is "Running
Bare." Their songs will be
geared to provide for the best
streaking at Auburn in months.

When asked if the group would
still perform at Auburn, a
Brothers' spokesman said it was
one of the most far out things he
had ever heard of and they would
be proud to play for a dude like
Harry.
The second group to perform, the
Grateful Dead, said they too,
would perform but it sounded like
Philpott had been around that

The Beatles are back. The most
popular foursome in history will
begin a series of charity concerts
this Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Memorial
Coliseum.
In a transoceanic telephone
interview, Paul McCartney said
the group was getting back together
on an errand of mercy much
like George Harrison's Benga-ladesh
Concert in Madison Square
Garden.
"The tour will direct itself
toward human suffering all over
the world but it was the stories of
the inadequate health care at your
Drake Infirmary that got us back
together and so it had to be our
first stop," said McCartney.
John Lennon was obviously
very moved with the plight of a
major university without any decent
medical facilities. He was
heard shouting in the background,
"No wonder everybody
gives to the blood drive; they want
the Red Cross to get it before the infirmary
does!"
Along with the Beatles will be
Ravi Shankar and Bob Dylan,
who were at the previous mercy
concert, and several acts from both
Bengaladesh and Biafra who had
been moved by the plight.
David Crosby and Graham
Nash as well as America have
asked to take part in the super concert,
"Just to see if anybody will
show up this time."
McCartney said the group will
consist of the four original members;
John, Paul, George, and
Ringo, as well as wives Linda
McCartney and Yoko Ono Lennon.
The group has written a lot of
new material and will tape a
special double album while here in
Auburn. The album will be called
"Please, Mr. Philpott."
The^Beatles explained they had
a little difficulty getting the approval
of the Social Life Committee.
It seems that since Elvis came
last quarter they felt that one
legendary rock concert was
enough for any campus in one
year.
Tickets for the the concert will
cost $30, $40, $50 and will go on
sale in the lobby of the Health Center.
Passes to go within a quarter
mile of the Coliseum will be available
for $10 each. All funds will be
handled by the student representative
on the Health Board, Mike
Wright-All-along.
Mike announced that the infirmary
will sponsor a special contest
for the Beatles concert. The
object of the contest is to take the
most "War Eagle Pills" without
any affect at all. The record is now
237 pills in one day and held by one
of the nurses. Reports indicate the
algae in the glasses of water she
drank with all the pills caused her
to turn green.
Auburn's self appointed conscience,
Henry Dawson, has voiced
great displeasure at having a concert
on the Sabbath but said there
was very little he would do since he
did not believe in picketing on Sunday.
EATER Starts FRIDAY!
Twirlers no longer
show false front
In conjunction with the current
popularity of streaking around the
nation and on campus, Alabama
University at Auburn Band Director
Dr. Billy Wand announced this
week that this year's majorette try-outs
will be held in the nude.
"We arrived at the decision,"
Wand said, "after careful deliberation.
In the past, we have
often observed that the clothes
worn during the tryouts created
false illusions about the candidates,"
Wand explained.
"So to make sure that all the
girls this year get a fair shake," he
continued, "we decided to hold the
auditions without the delusions
created by clothing and other
deceptive devices."
"We had contemplated numerous
plans to get around the problem,"
added Johnnie Vision, ass.
director, "but streaking was
the inspiration behind Doc's
stroke of genius. We considered fig
leaves, hut this plan provides for
even greater differentiation."

Bias
Prejudice
"" Page 10 April 1, 1974
Hello, Joe Blow . . . I'm Bill
Wood, just an ordinary fellow like
you are, except a little smarter. I'm
condescending verbally to appeal
to the mass readership (that's
you), and I want you to remember
that I'm not one of those pseudo-intellectual
types; I'll prove that by
my column subject matter.
Actually I was in the Engineering
curriculum, but it didn't satisfy
my creative yearnings so I
switched to something I could do, I
mean something I'd like to do.
It all happened on the way to the
bathroom. Those rednecks next to
me, or maybe it was the rednecks
above me, or maybe the ones under
me, or maybe even my roommate,
were banging on the walls. (Somehow
I always live in the midst of
rednecks — not that I consider myself
an intellectual or a thinker
mind you, but I'm just not as red as
the average Auburn student.) I
sighed and kept walking.
The noise was awful above, or
below. (Any preposition will do
. . .just so I can prove to those English
major snobs that you can
write column sentences any way
you want to including ending them
with prepositions.) I decided, of
course, to go to see a late show —
there weren't any dirty movies on
TV.
Just remember, Joe . . . I'm the
champion of the little man. Draft
beer, late shows, dirty television
movies, blue jeans and love — I defend
them all for you. That's what
I want to be remembered for — not
my 2.97 g.p.a., though of course
you must realize by my smooth
and splendid journalistic column
style that I am a genius.
Excuse the un-businesslike
digression, but even the best of us
machines break down occassion-ally.
(Maybe I should have said oc-cassionally
break down to irritate
the English scholars a bit more.)
Well, finally I was outside in
line, waiting for the movie to begin.
Just thejj some coed, probably
from Dorm five, said "Hey,
Farmer Jones, go milk a cow." She
was referring to my cute little red
and white shirt and overalls.
She must not have known that
I'm editor of The Plainsman (now
The Tidesman), not a member of
the elite only because I choose not
Our bias
to be a member of the elite. What a
sassy little wench (or maybe I
should say woman, in keeping
with my progressive and non-chauvinistic
concept of womankind.)
Like the big person I am, I just
went over and introduced myself,
engaging in an intriguing onesided
conversation about income
tax and the past meat boycott. I
even invited her to join The Tides-man's
staff, with the fair warning
that if she ever decided to leave
she'd have to suffer a daily verbal
beating by me. After all, how could
anyone quit and expect to achieve
perfection?
I'm not a liberal, or an intellectual
stud or any of those awful
things that editors have been in
the past. I'm unlike them in another
way too. I can write. None of
them could.
I'm just a champion of the small
people; fair play is my motto, and
I've enjoyed coming down to your
level to make sure my editorial
page is the most widely read ever.
That figures, since I've added editorial
photography, an Editorial
Board, Bodoni headlines and my
own personal touch of perfection.
I'll burn the SGA for you, fight
the Communications Board so
that you can see Streaker pictures,
date the girls in Auburn Hall and
even wash my clothes at Thach
Hut. Just remember that. I'm just
like you, except I'm perfect.
Preoccupied with sex? Really, us?
Though it may be hard to believe,
we of The Tidesman's Editorial
Board are sensitive to criticism
— especially the unfounded
criticisms that we are promoting
immorality by our editorial preoccupation
with sex, nudity and
bodily functions.
Why, as Kathy was saying to
Rheta as we were all walking into
the Tiger Theatre late show the
other night, "Cripe, I hope they
show more skin in this one than
they did last week."
There! See, Kathy, like everybody
else on the Editorial Board,
was concerned not with sex or nudity
but the aesthetics of the movie.
So were Greg and Mike and Bill.
(See how cleverly I wrote that? I
didn't use the word "I" — so you
don't know who wrote this, or any
other of our editorials that we of
the Editorial Board write! Nyah,
nyah, nyah!)
Just the other day, as we were
We were wrong on AWS
taking pictures of toilets and trying
to round up anotherstreakerto
run through Rev. Britt's Sunday
sermon, a student wife came up to
us and started cussing us out.
"Why, you sons of a **!?!#, why
don't you clean up your **!?!#
newspaper," she said. "While
you're pushing all this nudity and
**!?!#, you're becoming a disgrace
to the University and Auburn."
Now, we don't mind criticism
that is justified, but this is too
much. To suggest that we're occupied
with sex and nudity, well
. . . just ask those SGA turkeys
what they seen on the editorial
page. They don't see the sex and
At last
nudity, but put in a three-inch
blast at one of them, and they burn
the barn about it.
Besides, how can anyone say
we're preoccupied with all that
stuff, especially when we end our
editorials with such profound
statements. You'll see, just keep
reading.
Sex! Nudity! Bodily functions!
Impeachment of the President!
An end to the energy crisis! Burn
the Senate! Sex! Nudity! Sex! More
nudity!
And though it remains to be
seen, the most likely and by far the
most grave outcome is that for cen-i
turies to come, time will pass.
Well! I thought we'd never get
that Bill Wood out of the newsroom.
But now that he's kidnaped,
and Greg Lisby is running the
show, I must take this opportunity
to protest what Wood did to my
articles.
You'd think I was a monosyllabic
idiot to read my articles after
Wood edited them; the sentences
were so short and the language so
inane.
Perhaps I now have a chance to
display in greater measure my
literary ability. I shall now proceed
to outline, in about a thousand
words, my views on the future of
strategic arms limitation . . . that
is, unless Lisby decides to cut
Well, folks, we were wrong about
this hassle with Student Government
and the Associated Women
Students. A solution proposed this
week seems most reasonable: to incorporate
SGA as a committee of
AWS.
Although others may take credit
for the idea, we know whose
idea it v as. It was the brainchild of
Minna Roth, former AWS president.
We commend her for her enlightened
thinking.
SGA with its massive bureaucracy
will be greatly streamlined
under the new proposal, with the
SGA president serving as head of
the AWS committee on students.
Those nasty old politicos should
shape up as soon as they find out
how to give a good tea, how to hold
secret elections and how to avoid
getting raped.
We fully endorse the proposal,
and we feel it is a credit to Minna.
As one observer put it, "There are
many fish in the sea, but there's
only one Minna."
Dog-dating could solve problems
Bill Wood, Editor in absentia (Kidnapped)
Jud Landrum, Business Manager
in partial absentia (He's not all here)
The Auburn Tidesman may well be the student-edited newspaper of
the University of Alabama at Auburn (UAA), but then, we're not real
sure ourselves. Signed columns represent only the opinion of the writer,
while unsigned editorials labeled "Our bias "airi 't thoseof nobody in
particular.
Now that Auburn is making
some progress toward breaking
down racial barriers — with more
interracial dating — the time has
come to move on. It is time for more
Auburn students to date animals.
Some hostility obviously exists
between people and animals here
at Auburn. Son-of-a-gun! You can
see dogs barking at people, cats
meowing at coeds and coeds
meowing back.
The only way to overcome this
tension is through inter-genusdat-ing.
As a start, I propose that we
date dogs.
This would be easy enough to do.
Son-of-a-gun! I know some guys
that date some girls from thcQuad
that are pretty close already. As
one of them said to me the other
day as I attempted to knock her off
her bicycle in my tan Camaro,
"Bow, wow!"
I would have asked her out, but
she just straightened her tail up,
shook her ears, and took off on all
fours toward Sewell Hall to drive
around with other coeds attempting
to get a glimpse of a jock. Son-of-
a-gun!
I would give you some other reasons
for inter-genus dating but my
letter got tied up in the U.S. Postal
Service, which keeps raising the
hell out of postal rates and cuts
back on services. Son-of-a-gun!
Just think what people dating
dogs would do for Auburn. No
more long lines at the movies, no
more problems with curfews, and
no more problems buying dates expensive
food, since Jim Dandy
Chunx are so cheap!
And look at what it could do
for the Campus Police. With so
many dogs out late at night, the
campus would be secure. Would-be
robbers and would-be-attackers
would face the threat of being bitten
and scratched no matter where
they went. Son-of-a-gun!
The Campus Police wouldn't
have to carry guns — not that they
have to now. Let's face it, Auburn
is a pretty quiet place. All they'd
need would be bottles of "Doggie-
Don't" dog repellent.
Of course, the question comes
up, would I date a dog if I had the
chance? Son-of-a-gun!
Sure I would — and why not, if
the dog had a good pedigree, ha*d
no fleas and didn't mind coming in
at 10 p.m. so I could go to sleep on
time.

Bootlicker explains
April Fool opposition
A few weeks ago, I voted against
the campus newspaper having an
April Fool's edition, in my position
on the Board of Student Communications.
Let me here explain
why.
My reasons were not, as some
have suggested, that I am nervous
about what that radical bunch of
pseudo-liberals at The Auburn
Tidesman might put in an April
Fool's edition, especially since
state elections are coming up this
year. It is not the purpose of a campus
newspaper to lick the boots of
state officials; that is my job.
(And, I might add, since I have
thrown my hat into lobbying — revealing
my shining dome — all the
boots of state officials have been
thoroughly licked. Thoroughly.
Why, we licked State Finance
Director Taylor Hardin's boots so
thoroughly that the leather started
rotting!)
Rather, my reason for opposing
the April Fool's edition is that I
didn't have one when I was editor
back in 1955. Yes, The Tidesman
(then The Plainsman) did exist
back then.
Now, my volume of The Plainsman
was the best one ever put out.
Therefore, anything done differently
has to be poorer.
Let me say that there is no truth
to the rumors that we had an April
Fool's edition, but destroyed all
copies of it. That is inoperative, as
my respected colleague Ron
Zeigler would say.
Auburn would be a lot better off
if The Tidesman would quit printing
all that nasty stuff about our
administration and state officials.
It would make my job a
heckuva lot easier, too.
It is for this reason that Harry
and I are ordering you not to print
an April Fool's edition. You will
print no such edition until you receive
the approval of
Mr. Whitewash's letter had to be
cut here. The rest of the text of the
letter is a list of 319 organizations,
including the Auburn Board of
Trustees, the Keep Opelika Beautiful
Club and Dean Cater's Sewing
Circle.
—Editor's note
J. Herbert Whitewash
Harry's Press Secretary
Cover pharmacy, dammit!
After careful consideration and
review we, the undersigned, have
decided that The Tidesman is
totally lacking in any sense of
news judgment or priority placement.
On the front page of last week's
issue The Tidesman spent considerable
time, space and money to
inform Auburn readers that Nixon
had been impeached, Haley Center
had burned down, Pres. Phil-pott
had been arrested by the IRS,
and graduation requirements had
been reduced to 85 credit
hours—yet the paper ignored the
annual pharmacy picnic which
was held at Chewacla Saturday.
Where is your sense of importance?
Don't you realize that
the picnic was attended by nearly
40 people? We would have reached
our goal of 50 participants if The
Tidesman had not thwarted our
publicity efforts.
We sincerely hope that The
Tidesman will take all possible
steps to remedy this oversight. We
are looking forward to seeing the
pharmacy school on the front page
for the rest of the quarter.

What excuse
for naivete?
The female scholars of Auburn
University are almost totally unacquainted
with the sexual
aspects of male-female relationships
when they arrive in Auburn,
or such is the contention that has
reached my ears in the few months
I have been here.
But what excuse, I wonder, can
be given for most of them leaving
this institution in precisely the
same condition?
T. J. Bowl HI
Department of^Philosophy
Why can't
Bowl mature?
I, for one (and I daresay many of
my colleagues share my view) find
Mr. Bowl's naive assertion that nothing
much happens to women in
the four years they spend at Auburn
to be merely that — an unfounded
statement.
Indeed, as those of us who have
spent more years in amorous pursuits
than Mr. Bowl has lived well
know, measures of females'
experience are all but evanescent.
Further, one may not rely upon
male accounts of their exploits
with Auburn women to any degree
(although their statements would
no doubt counter Mr. Bowl's unfounded
assertion).
In any event, to counter what
Mr. Bowl finds the incredible
naivete of Auburn women, the procedure
is simple. The male simply
evaluates those females he knows
on an objective scale (much like
my Chemistry 103 grading scale),
chooses the proper female, and uh
. . . well, one can read in "Playboy,"
"Penthouse," or a similar
learned journal what to do from
there.
Anyone (including Bowl) can
very easily point a finger of derision;
to do so takes little talent,
only the experience of being
thwarted in amorous pursuits by a
sweet little be-home-by-curfew
sorority girl. I suggest Mr. Bowl
show a little more professionalism
in his approach so that he
might score once in a while, lest
those outside Auburn draw ill-formed
conclusions about the state
of the men of the Auburn faculty.
Jay Old
Professor of Chemistry
Why can't
Jay reason?
I trust Professor Old is more
competent at teaching chemistry
than he is, as indicated by his letter
responding to mine on the
naivete of Auburn women. I hope
so, for the letter itself is a melange
of factual distortion and argument
ad hominem.
(1) Professor Old suggests that I
said nothing much happens to women
in the four years they spend at
Auburn. Nothing could be further
from the truth as this observer perceives
it. Auburn women are
wined, dined, held, coddled, encouraged
and persuaded by every
male who has social contact with
them. Indeed, this experience
alone must have some effect on
them.
That effect, I submit, is hardened
determination to resist the advances
of the even the more proficient
lovers in our midst.
(2) The implication that I have
not scored frequently has nothing
to do with my argument, and
further has no relevance since it is
utterly without foundation. If the
men of the Auburn faculty all did
as well for themselves as do I, outsiders
could only conclude that our
fair East Alabama village is, shall
we say, a breeding ground for the
finest lovers anywhere.

Dean foy awarded promotion as new school mascot
t^BSJMmLUfm) fTTf*l 1 ^S
By Catrina Hugger
Tidesman Staff Writer
In an effort to Tide-dye Auburn
University after its incorporation,
into the University of Alabama,
University officials have named
James Foy, former dean of student
affairs, as the new War Eagle
V. His position, however, is temporary
until the War Elephant
ordered for a low, low price from
Rhodesia is delivered.
The War Elephant's arrival has
been delayed indefinitely since the
elephant became involved in a
major scrape with the law. Noticing
the unsteadyness of the elephant's
step while crossing the
state line, an astute Alabama state
patrolman suspected that the elephant
had a snoot full.
Further inspection revealed a
concealed fifth in the elephant's
trunk. The elephant isn
Further inspection revealed a
concealed fifth in the elephant's
trunk. The elephant is now serving
a ten-year stretch at Atmore
State Pen.
When asked how he felt about
the delay, Foy replied that he was
looking forward to his reign as
War Eagle V. Of course being
school mascot will mean many
changes in Foy's lifestyle. Foy,
however, gracefully accepted.
Alpha Phi Omega's offer of the
new aviary for his home.
While packing, Foy discussed
some of the similarities between
his old.lifestyle and the upcoming
one. "There will be little change in
diet," quipped Foy, "I've always
lived off of birdseed, and being up
a tree is not an unfamiliar situation.
I'm pleased to soar with the
finest. . . up, up, and away, I'm an
eagle today." With that closing remark
Foy flew the coop.
In a later interview, Foy,
perched atop a tree, seemed chirpy
as he spoke of his new life. He had
completely shorn his locks in order
to better fill his role as a bald
eagle. As he spoke, tears came to
his eyes.
"As much as I'd like these to be
tears of emotion, they aren't" he
said. "I truly love my new station
in live. AHH CHOO! But, AHH
CHOO! the reason I'm crying is because
I'm allergic to these feathers
that I have glued all over me. But,
one should endure a little for the
good 'ol Auburn spirit. That's
what makes Auburn Auburn."
When questioned about his continuing
relations with human beings
Foy said, "A War Eagle in the
hand is worth two in the bush. So,
I'll continue to be handy. I will,
however, have to terminate my
relationship with Kitty Cater . . .
a bird that plays with a cat ws
asking for trouble.
Foy has been slightly apprehensive
concerning the new plan to
mate him with the War Elephant
when she arrives. He has reconciled
himself to the fact, however,
that it will be in the best interest of
Auburn. "After all," said Foy,
"everyone at Auburn has a few
bad blind dates. I should be no exception.
Just so she doesn't get
underfoot or vice versa. At least
she won't be like some women I
know — she can live off peanuts!"
Women win out
in political coup
By Katchka Slovic
Tidesman Staff Writer
"This is one giant step for
womankind," former AWS president
Minna Roth said when the
Associated Women Students voted
unanimously to make the SGA a
cabinet committee of AWS. The
plan which had been proposed at
an AWS meeting earlier was passed
largely through the efforts of
newly elected AWS President
Glenda Earwood.
"I'm really not too clear on the
exact details of the plan," Roth
said. "You'd have to talk to Glenda
about that."
Earwood said, "I am so glad
Minna gave me this chance to
serve the women students at Auburn.
I've been dying to be their
voice on campus and now that
SGA will be subservient and
inferior to AWS I feel we can really
make some progress."
Earwood said she felt AWS
would have no problem getting the
administration to aprove the
incorporation of SGA. "I'll have
Kitty lapping milk out of my hand
by the time this is all over," she
said.
SGA President Ed Milton said
he did not see how the men at Auburn
could be adequately represented
if the SGA were made a
committee of AWS! "We've been
unable to give the women a voice
in student government," he said,
"what makes those broads think
they can cover us adequately?"
Roth said the results of the AWS
voting would not be made public.
"All you can quote me on is that all
12 members were present and the

Philpott and two former Auburn
students, Jerry Batts and Louis
Adams, were accused Tuesday by
Maurice Stans of making an illegal

Auburn University student activity
funds.
The three men were implicated
along with officials from seven
other Southern universities during
Stans' testimony in hearings
related to an alleged illegal
$100,017.09 contribution made by
Howard Hughes through Charles
"BEBE" Rebozo, millionaire Florida
financier.
Only the Auburn contribution
appears to have consisted of student
activity funds.
Batts, SGA president in 1972,
and Adams, SGA Budget and
Finance Committee chairman,
and Philpott allegedly created the
surplus by denying funds to certain
campus organizations, then
pooled the funds with money from
other universities.
After resting in a saving account
at a Cocoa Beach, FL bank
from Sept. 27, 1972 until Nov. 31,
1972, the funds were channeled
through Charles "BEBE" Rebozo
into the Nixon campaign. Rebozo
is an intimate friend of Philpott's.
