New bicycle lanes
to be ready by fall
By Annette Norris
Plainsman Staff Writer
Pres. Harry M. Philpott re­cently
approved the recom­mendation
of the University
Traffic and Parking Commit­tee
calling for the construction
of bicycle lanes on the Auburn
campus.
Philpott said the recommen­dation
was approved the last
of May in the same form in
which it was submitted.
According to Col. Linwood
Funchess, head of Buildings
and Grounds, the eight-foot
wide lanes will be in three
major segments connecting
parts of the campus.
The first lane will run from
College Street, accross the li-inside

brary lawn, to the driveway
immediately south of the li­brary,
Funchess said. Cross­ing
Mell Street, the lane will
continue through the parking
lot north of dorm five to join
the extended east-west mall at
Halen Center, north of dorms
seven and nine.
A second lane, according to
Funchess, will connect Roose­velt
Drive to the mall with a
lane across the lawn of the
quad," in front of dorms seven
and eight.
A third lane will be created
on existing road surfaces by
the removal of parking from
the west side of Duncan Drive,
Funchess said. This plan will
necessitate the removal of 29
parking spaces to accomo­date
the bike lane from Mag­nolia
to Roosevelt.
Construction on the lanes is
scheduled to begin soon after
July 4, Funchess said, with
completion in time for the be­ginning
of fall quarter.
According to Funchess, the
ground crews of his depart­ment
will be in charge of con­structing
the lanes, with the
cost set a $406.'!
According to Campus
Security Chief Millard
Dawson, some 3,693 bicycles
have been registered with the
Campus Security Department
since bicycle registration
began last fall, and Dawson
expects the number of cyclists
to increase this fall.
Freshmen
Auburn really is a friendly place
By Don Morgan
Managing Editor
Maybe there is some truth to the legend of
friendliness on the Auburn campus. At least
there is if the opinion of several incoming
freshmen holds true.
This week The Plainsman quizzed 15 in­coming
freshmen on their likes and dislikes
concerning Auburn. Their opinions varied on
many subjects, but they were almost unani­mous
in mentioning the friendliness of Au­burn
students.
'The poeple are really friendly," said
Brenda Andrews, 1SED. "They all try to help
you." Rebecca Beaty, 1MH, said "It's a real
friendly campus. I was going to Alabama, but
they were such snobs."
The new frosh also place great emphasis on
the Auburn spirit. "Everybody's got the spirit
of Auburn," said Jim Goldsmith, 1AR. Diane
Engel, 1FL, said that she chose Auburn be­cause
"I've just heard so much about 'War
Eagle.'" .
The main complaint of freshman women
seems to be having to walk so far to classes. Se­veral
of the women questioned showed a pre­ference
for some type of campus transporta­tion
system. The men object mainly to the lack
of campus parking facilities.
Freshman women also object to social re­strictions
placed on dorm residents. "We're in
college now. We're old enough to take care of
ourselves. At least I hope we are," commented
Donna Nelson, 1HPR But as for moving off
campus, the women seem to prefer dorms.
"You meet so many people," said Marty Kart-nedy,
1EED.
The freshmen on campus this quarter
number about 300; roughly 150 women and
150 men. They hail from all parts of the United
States, and from Brazil, Panama and Taiwan.

Trial male visitation 1 ''*
vetoed by administration
By Sam Lowther
Plainsman Staff Writer
A formal request that would
have allowed limited male
visitation in women's
dormitory rooms on a trial
basis for summer quarter has
been disapproved by Pres.
Harry M. Philpott. The visita­tion
plan, sponsored by As­sociated
Women Students, had
been presented to Dean of Wo­men
Katherine Cater during
spring quarter.
In a June 12 memorandum
to Cater, Philpott stated that
he had considered the request
at length before making his
decision to deny it. He feels
that a trial program during
summer quarter would not be
useful since summer social life
is so different from that of
other quarters. Philpott also
said that he does not feel that
there is a strong desire for such
a program among women stu­dents
and that the idea does
not meet the favor of most
parents.
The feeling that there was a
lack of support for the plan by
dorm residents was echoed by
Cater. She said that petitions
were placed in the dormitories
during spring quarter to be
signed by those resident at­tending
summer quarter, but
"few were signed."
Minna Roth, president of
AWS, agreed. "We ran three
surveys last year and fewer
than 900 questionnaires were
returned," she said. Other
than apathy among women
students, she felt the major im­pediment
to the adoption of a
trial program was widespread
disfavor by University
trustees and administrators.
When asked whether she had
encountered any University
official in favor of the
proposal, she replied that she
had not.
A spot survey of dormitory
residents conducted by The
Plainsman indicated that few
were familiar with the
proposal or even knew of its
existence at all. However,
when informed of the details of
the plan, there was un­animous
approval.
Carol Smith, 1EED, when
given the specifics of the plan,
said that she would have no ob­jections
to male visitors in the
dormitory rooms "if they con­ducted
themselves properly."
The few who were familiar
with the proposal expressed
strong approval. "A girl who is
eighteen can vote and should
be responsible," said Cheryl
Wilson, 3CT. "They have no
right to regulate the lives of
adults. The plan would give us
some freedom without moving
off-campus. This would
probably stop some of the girls
from moving out of the
dorms."
The request called for a
maximum of three hours of
male visitation in dormitory
rooms each Friday, Saturday
and Sunday. Each dorm would
vote on the hours of visitation
and whether the three hours

Trustees raise meal ticket rates
By David Williams
Plainsman News Editor
"I would rather live in a
nation where no one trusts the
government and no one trusts
the presidency; or everyone
trusts persons in positions of
authority," William Kunstler,
defense attorney for the Chi­cago
Seven, Black Panther
Party and Roman Catholic
peace militants, told an Au­burn
audience May 23.
Kunstler was not shocked at
the fact that a Watergate oc
cured, but rather he spoke of
the "moral decay" he feels this
country is going through be­cause
"government pro­cesses"
were used as a cover-up
for the Watergate incident.
Under the guise of a rising
crime rate, he said, we now
have preventive detention, no-knock
search warrants, eaves­dropping
and wiretapping,
"all the hallmarks of a grow­ing
totalitarian state."
Kunstler said he found it
amusing that the same people,

The University Board of
Trustees at a meeting between
spring and summer quarters''
approved increases on the
price of board rates for dining
hall meals effective fall quar­ter,
1973. Reasons for the in­crease
were cited as being the
continual rises in food prices,
wages and the impossibilty to
operate' the Food Service for
students at the present rates.
A proposal to construct ad­ditional
facilities to Sewell
Hall unanimously passed the
board at the same meeting.
Cost of the project is presently
estimated at $365,700. The Au­burn
Trustees authorized Pres.
Philpott to employ an architect
to prepare plans and specifica­tions
for the Sewell extension.
The Board of Trustee
unanimously accepted the ap­pointment
of Rhett E. Riley as
Business Manager and
Treasurer of Auburn Univer­sity,
effective July 1, 1973.
Riley will replace W. T. In­gram
who is retiring June 30.
A $100,000 increase in the
cost of constructing handball
courts which passed the board
on October 27, 1972, at an
original cost of $200,000 was
approved by the board with
two dissenting votes. Reasons
for the increase were given as
an unanticipated finalization
of plans and specifications
and the rising cost of construc­tion.
The following changes were
made in meal ticket prices:
TheFive Day per Week Plan
(14 meals) will increase from
$157 to $172 for women stu­dents
and $167 to $183 for men
students.
The Seven Day per Week
Plan (20 meals) will rise from
$187 to $205 for women stu­dents
and the men students
will pay $216 instead of the old
rate of $197.
The Nine Meal per WeekPlan
has risen from $144 to $158 for
women students and $154 to
$169 for men students.

Kunstler, who has defended
Black Panther Party
Members, said that the Black
Panthers are becoming "com­munity
oriented." He said the
Black people are laying down
their arms because of the need
for survival. Survival due to
the fact that the nations police
forces had declared "open
season" on militant panthers,
according to Kunstler.
"I think that the threat of
violence is the only way to
achieve social progress. Vio­lence
has been the only way in
the history of our country,"
Kunstler said.
During a question and
anwer period Kunstler was
asked what he though of our
country's law system and
replied by saying that he used
"the law as a device to keep
people on the streets so that
those people can change the
world some day."
Kunstler said that he was
not a "crusader" but used the
law to destroy certain con­cepts
of it.
According to Kunstler, there
is an over abundance of
lawyers in this country and
that it would be better off if it
would get rid of "98 per cent"
of them.

Professor retires after 47 years
By Earle Holland
University News Bureau
There was a time at Auburn
University when classes were
so small that students would
huddle around an old pot-bel­lied
stove to feel its warmth
and listen as words flowed
from their instructors who sat
shivering right next to them.
Auburn University just after
the Civil War? Well maybe.
sion," he elaborated, "but you
do get to bask in the glory of
your students, their work and
their successes."
And bask he does, remem­bering
the hundreds and hun­dreds
of students who filled his
classes over the years and then
became successful pharma­cists
on their own.
And with his casual appeal,
he's endeared himself and his
profession ever since he first
came here.
PROF. GEORGE HARGREAVES TO RETIRE
. . . Has served Auburn for nearly half a century
But this was also the Auburn
of 1926 when Prof. George W.
Hargreaves joined the then
two-member faculty of the col­lege's
School of Pharmacy.
Now, after 47 years of teach­ing
young pharmacists on the
Auburn University campus,
the wiry, gray-haired, 70-year-old
instructor is going to call it
quits at the end of next month.
And looking back on that al­most
half-century here, Prof.
Hargreaves says he can see a
lot of wonderful memories and
many good friends.
"You don't make a lot of
money in the teaching profes-
But, he says, the University
itself, then labeled the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute,
has changed, grown by leaps
and bounds during that time.
In fact, almost three-fourth of
the facilities on campus were
built while he was teaching
here.
Things were different then
everywhere. Hargreaves said.
Buildings and Grounds con­sisted
of one supervisor and
two plumbers to care for the
campus. All janitorial work in
the buildings was done by stu­dents.
The original pharmacy
building, an old three-story
brick structure, stood behind
the old music building, which
was then the Chemistry Build­ing.
There was no central heat­ing
in this old building and the
fires started early in the old
pot-bellied stoves by the
janitors were often burned out
before an 8 o'clock class.
With the great increase in
enrollment following World
War II, pharmacy outgrew the
quarters in Ross and a large
frame, temporary building
was erected near Ross at a site
now occupied by the Union
ball room. This provided a
laboratory, class room stock­room
and office and was
designated T.B.-4. .
In retrospect, Hargreaves
said that the federal projects
begun under the administra­tion
of former President
Franklin D. Roosevelt allowed
Auburn to begin an expansion
which has not stopped since.
And other things have
changed about the school. This
quarter's upcoming gradua­tion
ceremonies are huge com­pared
to the professor s first
graduation here at Auburn.
Then the University's entire
faculty sat on the stage of
Langdon Hall for commence­ment.
, ,
"There were only arouna
1600 students on campus
then," he said. "We had a good
student-faculty ratio working
for us. There were 46 students
enrolled in pharmacy and we
three instructors." .
Prof. Hargreaves was quicK

to say that today's students
are far better prepared today.
At the same time, he labeled
the students who returned to
college after World War II as
the best students, with mar­ried
students in general run­ning
a close second.
While here at Auburn, Har­greaves
became associated
with the State Department of
Toxicology and began assit-ing
them with autopsies dur­ing
the early World War II
years. Later on, he served as a
consultant for that depart­ment
for 22 years while still
teaching pharmacy courses at
Auburn.

Ironic awards
There is irony to be found in the recent awarding of the
Hornbostel Memorial Awards for architecture students.
It was good to see that the top five places in the national
design competition were taken by Auburn students, but it
was amusing, also, when one considers what the design
problem was.
Entrants were to design temporary facilities which
would accomodate an extended, outdoor rock festival of
approximately 50,000 persons. It is strange that Auburn
has students which are capable.of organizing such an af­fair,
yet the Student Government Association and the
administration cannot satisfactorily work out the de­tails
of an indoor, one-artist concert.
No step forward
Much to the disappointment of those who were hoping
to see Auburn take another step toward becoming a pro­gressive
institution concerned solely with education and
not regimentation, Pres. Harry M. Philpott recently re­jected
a proposed trial plan for male visitation in
women's dormitories.
One of the reasons Philpott cited upon rejecting the
plan which was submitted to his office last spring was a
lack of desire for such a policy among Auburn women.
Yet in an interview with Associated Women Students
President Minna Roth which appeared last March in The
Plainsman, Ms. Roth told of survey results which indi­cated
the extreme opposite. Ms. Roth said that in the first
survey taken on the subject, 904 women were in favor of a
plan of male visitation while 50 were opposed. If opinion
runs almost 20 to one in favor of visitation but still it is
not enough to constitute a "strong desire" for the
program, it makes one wonder just how much of a ma­jority
is needed.
Philpott also indicated that social life in the summer
was so different from other quarters that the program of
male visitation would be of little value as an experiment.
Well, during the regular academic year from September
to May, Auburn students occupy their time by going to
movies, visiting friends, attending parties and going out
for beer and food. However, in the summer students
occupy their time by going to movies, visiting friends, at­tending
parties, going out for beer and food, and swim­ming.
Yessir, that's quite a change in social life.
Also, Philpott indicated that few parents were in favor
of male visitation in the women's dormitories. Philpott
should consider, however, that the parents of 18-year-olds
do not tell their offspring how to vote; they do not go
to jail for the 18-year-old if he commits a felony; and they
cannot prevent him from enlisting in the armed forces or
otherwise conducting his life. Eighteen-year-olds, as
most freshman women are, are regarded by the world as.
adults capable of their own decisions, but if any person
that age is not capable of running his own life without
parental control (not advice but control) then that
persons is not mature enough to even be away at college.
Auburn University is apparently afraid that if it
relaxes its controls on its female students, it will be ac­cused
of officially sanctioning orgies. Women of Auburn
should be incensed by this degrading treatment and
should demand that all University regulations that take
the governing of their adult lives out of their own hands
be removed. Implimentation of male visitation would be
a step in that direction.

The Auburn Plainsman is the student newspaper of Auburn Univer­sity.
Editorial opinions are those of the editor and columnists and are
not necessarily the opinions of the Board of Trustees, administration,
faculty or students of Auburn University.
The university president sat
back in his big padded chair as
the dean of women handed
him an official-looking piece of
paper.
"Here's the proposal that
those immoral trouble-makers
have been clamoring for," she
said when he picked up his
glasses to read the contents of
the paper.
"We've studied on it, com­promised,
and pulled rank
enough so that it's really
rather harmless now. Can you
imagine the original demand?
An unlimited policy of male
visitation in girl's dormi­tories!
The very idea; why, that
would make the girl's rules just
as liberal as the boy's rules. I
just cannot imagine an un­regulated
female student
body."
"Well," answered the uni­versity
president, "I don't
think we should be too hasty.
We can't just consider the girls,
you know. After all, their
parents may not approve (the
girls are just barely over the le­gal
age of consent), the Board
of Trustees will definitely not
approve, the state legislature
won't approve; the Southern
Baptist Convention won't like
it; Billy Graham won't like it,
not to mention the people of

Don Morgan
Watergate mess is rapidly
becoming a sequel to the hear­ings
of the 1950's. In the '50's
everyone was a communist;
now it seems that everyone in
the White House and all Rep­ublicans
in general are some­way
involved in the Water­gate
burglary.
Thanks to the news media,
the public hasn't missed a
single scene in the entire
sordid fiasco. The worst part of
the performance is that the
audience just can't wait to see
what's going to happen next.
I'm not saying that the
media should be criticized for
exposing the Watergate mess.
If it were not for the efforts of
several good reporters, none of
us would have ever been the
wiser.
It's this every-morning
broadcast of the hearings and
the tremendous amount of
newspaper coverage of the is­sue
that I abhor. What started
as public service has now be­come
public nuisance.
The media is not only becom­ing
a nuisance but is offering
a blatant disservice to the pub­lic.
We are able to see everyone
implicated point his finger
at someone else, but the media
does not point out clearly
enough that these are only al-truth
and justice. The media is
at, fault here for giving every
Sam, John, and Maurice the
opportunity to cry "wolf."
The real wolf is the media it­self.
It sits basking in the sun­light
enjoying every savory
morsel of the flesh of sensa­tionalism.
This wolf seems to
be forgetting that guilt or in­nocence
must ultimately be
decided in a court of law. At
least we used to do it that way.
I am not advocating that
everything about Watergate be
squelched. I only question the
media's judgement in making
a vast expose of every
picayunish detail. If the media
was looking for justice, it
should have given less
coverage to Watergate.
Because the media has over­exposed
Watergate, almost
everyone has seme opinion on
the subject. I predict that al­most
every trial arising from
the Watergate mess will result
in a mistrial due to the lack of
an impartial jury.
It seems that everyone will
get something out of the whole
fiasco though. The Senate will
get its glory, the media will
have a / field day, the
conspirators will go free, and
the public, as usual, will get the
shaft.

"Yes, I know what you
mean, but some of those girls
are so persistent that we had to
do something to pacify them,
and that's it," the dean said
pointing to the proposal in the
president's hand.
"But thank goodness there
are some level-headed, girls
left. Four girls, who I'm sure re­present
a large silent major­ity,
have even formed a com­mittee
to fight this thing. They
meet whenever the members
this?"
"Oh, no. We've finally got
them to see that Auburn is a
wonderful place for a nice girl
to go to school and that a girl
should not bother her pretty lit­tle
head over nasty old things
like rules reform. No, this is an
unorganized bunch of mal-con-tents."
The president dropped the
paper on his desk finally and

Electric toothbrush good invention
If you have any ques­tions
concerning drugs and
related topics, write "The
Pill Box" care of Phi Delta
Chi Pharmacy Fraternity,
School of Pharmacy, Au­burn
University. You need
not include your name. We
will attempt to answer all
questions in our column.
Question: Is the electric
toothbrush better than the
manual way of brushing
teeth?
Answer: The electric
toothbrush came at a bad time
when other less usuable "gim­micks"
were coming out. For
the most part the electric tooth­brush
is not a "gimmick" but a
useful, efficient cleaning tool
effective in periodental care
(care around the tooth). The
major advantage is that it will
clean the teeth in only a few
minutes. Most people will not
brush their teeth the time re­quired
for a thorough clean­sing
the manual way. It does
not only save time and do a
better job than doing it
manually, but it is not as
abrasive as brushing by hand.
Other obvious advantages are
ease of use for the physically
handicapped and as an in­teresting
device which en­courages
children to brush.
The General Electric Reci­procating
electric toothbrush
and the Broxident electric
toothbrush are recognized as
the best. The General Electric
Reciprocating toothbrush has
a back and forth action while
the Broxident has an up and
down movement.
Question: What is acne,
why does it always affect
younger people, and how can it
be cured?
Answer: The underlying
cause of acne is an increase in
the activity of the sebaceous
glands. As the individual ap­proaches
puberty there is an
increase in hormones that
induce a greater activity on the
sebaceous glands. These
sebaceous glands pour out
more sebrum (oils and fats)
resulting in an increase of oili-ness
of the skin. At the same
time there appears to be an in­creased
amount of a substance
called keratim, an insoluble
protein at the opening in the
skin surface. The increased
amount of keratim plus a
larger amount of selium may
cause an occulsion at the open­ing
of the skin surface and
form a plug. This plug will re­sult
in a whitehead and, by
oxidation of incorporated
materials, may become a
blackhead.
These physiological events
usually occur in people from
13-23 years old. The age of
highest incidence is 17 for girls
and 18 for boys. Acne cannot
be cured and sometimes a per­son
will have trouble with acne
for ten years. The primary
measures to control acne are to
remove the excess selium from
the skin by washing the face
thoroughly three times a day
and scrubbing gently with a
wash cloth to remove selium,
dead skin, and bacteria. The
washing of the face should be
carried on for several minutes.
The best soap to use contains
sulfur and resorcinol or
salycylic acid.
It is of primary importance
not to pick or squeeze an infec­ted
whitehead or blackhead.
This will leave permanent
scars of may develop into cysts
or stenll abscesses as the
sebaceous gland is entirely cut
off form the surface.

Grad infuriated by Watergate
Editor, The Plainsman:
When the Watergate break-in
first occurred, the Columbia
Broadcasting System tried in
several news reports to link the
seven men who were arrested
to the Nixon administration
and the Committee to Re-elect
the President. In those re­ports,
articles from the
"Washington Post" were free­ly
quoted.
At that time I tended to dis­count
everything that was said
by 'The Washington Post"
and CBS, although I could not
deny either that the break-in
had occurred or that it con­stituted
a criminal act. I dis­counted
what was said be­cause
I knew how bitterly
antagonistic the mass media
and certain elements of the na­tion
's press are to President Ni­xon
and Vice-President
Agnew. I knew that they were
rabidly pro-McGovern and
would like nothing better than
to see Nixon and Agnew de­feated
in their bid for re-elec­tion.
The media and the liberal
press insist that there is a "cre­dibility
gap" between the
Nixon administration and the
American people. In my opi­nion
there is a greater credibil­ity
gap between the media and
the liberal press and the rest of
the American public who must
depend upon them to a great
extent for information. This
credibility gap was not created
by Vice-President Agnew, as
Eric Severied charges. Agnew
was merely articulating what
the majority of the American
people already felt. He was cer­tainly
articulating what I my­self
felt; hence my reluctance
to accept at face value any­thing
put out by "The
Washington Post" and CBS.
But it now turns out that
'The Washington Post" and
CBS were really on to some­thing.
Through their per­sistence
and determination
they have successfully linked
the Watergate break-in to cer­tain
members of the White
House staff and the Commit­tee
to Re-elect the President.
They are to be commended for
that, although their per­sistence
was probably in­spired
more by their anta­gonism
to the administration
than by their desire to serve
the public.
Throughout the public furor
being raised over the Water­gate
incident and the sub­sequent
attempt to cover it up,
I have felt that something was
being left unsaid. The De­mocrats,
including their sup­porters
in the media and the
liberal press, weren't saying it
because they instinctively
realized that it was manifestly
absurd. And although they
chose to believe it and wanted
the American people as a
whole to believe it, they
wanted the idea to arise quiet­ly
and unobstrusively. The Re­publicans
weren't saying it be­cause
it involved an attack on
the media and the liberal
press, and the very real guilt of
certain members of the White
House staff and the Commit­tee
to Re-elect the President left
them in an embarrassed and
defenseless posture. Anything
they might have said would
have been construed as a fur­ther
attempt to "cover up"
something.
But then an idiot in the
ranks of the Democratic Party
finally gave voice to the idea.
On CBS television he charged:
"It is obvious that the 1972
election was stolen by the
Republicans." And suddenly
the underlying current of
though rose to the surface in
the question: Did McGovern
lose, and Nixon win, by such
an overwhelming majority in
the 1972 election because (1)
George McGovern was too far
to the left of the political spec­trum,
expousing views an sup­porting
policies that were
totally unaceptable to the
majority of the American
people or (2) the Democratic
Party was somehow "sabo­taged"
and "assassinated" by
the dirty underhanded deal­ings
of the Nixon administra­tion
and the Committee to Re­elect
the President?
of this country." What is also
involved is the intelligence of
the American electorate. We
are being told, in effect, that
the American people were
duped and didn't know what
they were doing when they
selected Richard Nixon over
his opponent George McGo­vern.
For it is not being
maintained that there were
election irregularities involv­ing
the theft of votes.
The Democrats are poor
letters
to the editor
It is amazing how anyone
could think that the Water­gate
break-in and similar
related activities had any ef­fect
on the outcome of the na­tional
election. The Repub­licans
responsible for the
break-in may have been look­ing
for evidence to link McGo­vern
with Castro of Cuba. But
they were stupid, as everyone
agrees. If they had discovered
such evidence and publicized
it, I could then see how the Re­publicans
"sabotaged" the
Democratic Party—and under
those circumstances I would
have been in favor of the sabo­tage.
But the fact remains that
they discovered and publicized
nothing.
True, George McGovern was
cast in the role of a left-winger
and ultra-liberal who was "soft
on Communism." But he very
forcibly cast himself in that
role, and we can't blame the
Republicans for making the
most of it.
More is involved in this
argument than President
Nixon's reputation and the tar­nishing
of what Nixon him­self
agreed was "one of the
greatest, if not the greatest,
political victory in the history
losers. Unlike Barry Gold-water
and the Republicans,
who lost gracefully by a land­slide
in 1964, the Democrats
(including their supporters in
the media and the liberal
press) are trying to find ex­cuses
for their defeat. Carry­ing
only one or two states is
something the Republicans
have been known to do, but it is
inconceivable to diehard
liberals that the Democrats,
too, can fall so far out of favor
with the people in the main­stream
of America.
It must be admitted that il­legal
activities such as the
Watergate break-in cannot be
condoned in American
politics. But nobody but the
perpetrators of the act are try­ing
to justify it. And even if
President Nixon himself were
directly involved in it—which I
do not believe, and will not be­lieve
without some mighty con­crete
evidence— I still would
have more confidence in the
ability of the Nixon-Agnew
team to govern the country
properly than I would have in
the McGovern-Shriver team.
I voted for the Nixon-Agnew
team. I did not vote for McGo­vern-
Shriver. Nor did I vote for
The Washington Post." Nor
for the Columbia Broadcast­ing
System. Andl resent the ef-
* forts of intractible liberals in
the media and the press to top­ple
the Nixon administration
and install in its place an ad­ministration
like the one I
voted against. We are facing a
greater crisis in this country
than that of political
espionage; we must ask our­selves
whether we are going to
be governed by the moderate-conservatives
whom we
elected or by television net­works
and certain liberal
newspapers who seem to think
that they ought to be allowed
to run the country.
Like Vice-President Agnew
did a few years ago, I want to
anticipate the reaction of those
I am criticizing by declaring
that I am not in favor of cen­sorship.
If we had had cen­sorship
in this country, the
Watergate affair would not
have come to light, and cer­tain
heads that needed to roll
would never have rolled. More-
' over, if the president himself is
guilty of wrongdoing, it needs
to be brought to light. If he is
not guilty of wrongdoing, he
has only been made stronger
by being forced to rid himself
of those who are guilty and
who were making him vulner­able
to his enemies.
In my opinion, however, the
Watergate affair is about half
what it is and half what dis­gruntled
Democrats and their
colleagues in the media and
the liberal press are tying to
make it out to be. And I predict
that the Watergate fanfare will
eventually backfire on those
who are now pursuing it with
such apoplectic glee. That is, if
the president himself is not
directly guilty of any wrong­doing.
In which case nothing
under the sun can save him
from the howling wolves of
hate.

Bicycle industry
continues to grow
By J a c k James
Features Editor
Concern for the environ­ment
and the rising cost of liv­ing
may cause financial loss in
some industries, but in the bi­cycle
industry, there is
speculation that these two fac­tors
have greatly increased
profits.
Car manufacturers are
somewhat stymied in solving
the problem of cleaning up car
engines, fuel cost are rising
higher, making motorized
transportation more expen­sive,
and thousands of "well-fed"
Americans are constant­ly
searching for a way to lose
extra pounds, enjoyably.
Many have decided that
there exists no hope of solving
any or all of these problems.
But thousands of others are
putting their faith and money
into modern versions of an old
invention which is boldly
emerging from its almost
insignificant role in transpor­tation
to become a mechanical
knight in shining armor—the
bicycle.
The bicycle probably won't
save us from all of our so­ciety's
ills but various sales­man,
national and local,
indicate there are three basic
problems in America which ac­count
for the fact that the num­ber
of bikes sold in America in
1972 outnumbered the number
of automobiles sold. The three
problems are pollution, in­flation
and physical fitness.
Still others say that the big in­crease
is because more people
have discovered just how
much fun bicycling is.
According to Alexander
Petri, President of National
Bike Dealers Association, 14
million bicycles were sold in
1972 and predictions are for an
even greater volume in 1973."
It has become quite ap­parent
over the past couple of
years that Auburn, Alabama
is not immune to this national
trend and this is witnessed not
only by the growing number of
bikes on campus, but also by
the number of bike shops open­ing
up and the amount of busi­ness
they are doing in the Au­burn
area.
George Peacock, part-owner
of The Bike Shop in Auburn
says he made the transition
from motorcycle repair to bi­cycle
repair in November of
1969. At first he was only re­pairing
bikes, but then he be­gan
selling them in April of
this year. Over an 11-month
period his total sales and ser­vice
has increased from $300 in
June 1972 to $1,400 in May of
1973.
Peacock said that he sells on
the average about ten bicycles
a month and that he prefers to
stick mainly to his repair work.
"I'd rather repair 100 than to
sell ten" says Peacock as he ex­plains
that he doesn't like to
sell or pressure people. It seems
as if repair jobs are enough
business alone for The Bike
Shop because now they are two
weeks behind in repair. "I
wanted to take a week's vaca­tion,"
said Peacock, "but busi­ness
just hasn't let up."
"It's more than just a fad,"
Peacock said of the current
bike boom. "There has been a
steady profit increase of about
two or three per cent a month
instead of one big jump,
indicating that the market is
growing steadily."
Speaking of underlying
causes for this steady in­crease,
Peacock said, "I think
American society has gotten
too dependent on cars and
motorization and now they
want to be more independent.
The young in America are
beginning to believe increas­ingly
in the simple things of

BICYCLES COMPETE WITH AUTO'S ON CAMPUS
. . .Provide 'practical' transportation for students
'Dandy horse' marks beginning of bicycle
By Debbie Price
Plainsman Staff Writer
"It is safe to say that few
articles ever used by man have
created so great a revolution in
social conditions as the bi­cycle."
This statement was
made by a 1900 census report
about the first American bi­cycle
boom, and the truths of it
are being revived as today's bi­cycle
craze surpasses that of
the 1880's.
Bicycles have a 183—year
history that began with the
"dandy horse" or "walk-along,"
a wooden scooter-like
vehicle invented in 1790 by
Comte Mede de Sivrac of
France. This unlikely looking
contraption was the first bi­cycle.
It had no pedals or
chain, and was pushed along
by the rider's feet like a kiddie
car. Later in 1816, an im­proved
model called the
"draisine" was invented
which had a steering bar. In
1839, foot pedals were added.
The first bicycle that closely
resembled the bikes of today
was leveloped by a French car­riage
maker in the 1860's.
Although its frame was still
wooden, the form was much
like modern bikes and it was
pedal-powered. After this came
the high-wheeler with its huge
front wheel, small rear wheel,
and an all-metal frame. The
"high-wheeler" was very
popular in the late 1800's, but it
wasn't very safe. It was a com­mon
thing to see a rider somer­saulting
over the handlebars
after running over a stone.
To cope with this problem of
being thrown the velocipede
bike was invented. It had a
large rear drive wheel and a
smaller front wheel used for
steering.
An improved 'safety bi­cycle"
arrived on the scene of
the American market in 1885,
and was the beginning of the
first real bicycle boom that
lasted until the early 1900's.
This bike was almost like the
modern bike of today, minus
some of the improvements.
The front and rear wheels were
the same size, the rear wheel
being driven by means of
pedals, a chain, and sprockets.
Air-filled rubber tires were ad­ded
in 1890. The coaster brake
and adjustable handlebars
were other improvements, and
the first gear shift for bicycles
was developed in 1900 by a
French bicycle shop owner.
The bicycle boom of the late
1800's and the early 1900's
brought a variety of social
changes.
Everyone who could afford a
bicycle bought one. Not only
was the bike a quick means of
transportation, but it became a
recreational pastime for
leisurely Sunday afternoons.
The bicycle also gave women a
means of freedom from the
age-old restrictions of home
life.
The bicycle started a move­ment
for the construction of
better roads. One group of
bikers, the League of Amer­ican
Wheelmen, kicked off a
nation-wide campaign for the
improvement of highways.
The bicycle was also instru­mental
in paving the way for
the motor car by putting
thousands of people on the
roads, and in the introduction
of several mechanisms such as
differentail gearing an the
pneumatic tire.
The sport of bicycle racing
appeared in 1883 in Mas­sachusetts.
In the beginning of
the spoit. the races were held
outdoors, and as the sport
gained popularity promoters,
built areas with saucerlike
tracks. The popularity of bi­cycle
racing, or cycling, spread
to Europe, and it was made an
official Olympic Games sport
in 1896.
After the early 1900's the
popularity of the bicycle de­clined
in the U.S. as the auto­mobile
became more pre­valent.
Since then bicycles
were considered to be mainly
for children. Bicycle riding for
adults increased once for a
short time during WWII be­cause
of the shortage of gas,
tires, and cars.
Presently America is ex­periencing
a second bicycle
boom. Interest in bikes as a
means of transportation and
recreation is growing bv
bounds.
The bike boom of the '7()'s
has caused mechanical
changes of its own. Some bikes
are now made to fold-up and fit
in small places. A popular
magazine recently offered in­structions
on how to connect
car batteries and motors to
operate one's bike electrically.
Bikeways are being created
in some places to accom­modate
the increasinu num­ber
of bikers. Special bike
routes are being installed by
parks for people who want to
tour and camp out. Clubs for
bicycle touring are becoming
more common.
Cycling is gaining interest
again as a sport. The U.S.
Grand Prix (held April 1972)
was the first international bi­cycle
race to be held in the
United States. Bicycle polo is
also becoming increasingly
popular in certain parts of the
country.
Bicycles have come a long
way from the first awkward
wooden "walk-along," and
speculation is that the bicycle
industry will advance further,
but at any rate, bikes are
already standard equipment
for many Auburn students.

DOCKSIDERS
Grab a pair of Sebago Docksiders when you're fitting
out this Spring. The construction is rugged. The design
is sound. Sebago, with years of experience making
boating moccasins, engineered a combination of the
finest materials into a super deck shoe. Then tested
it in the 1970 Bermuda Cup Race. Results: remark­able
performance.
Examine the elk tanned cowhide upper. Built to resist
salt, perspiration, mildew. Test the white rubber, sure-grip,
non-slip sole. Either ashore or afloat, this sole
tread refuses to pick up sand or pebbles. Won't
scratch brightwork or canvas deck. Lay hold of the
rawhide lacings. Size up the salt-resistant, nylon and
dacron stitching throughout.
Docksiders mean quality. Quality that's handsewn by
Yankee craftsmen. Others try to imitate. Docksiders
are built to refute imitation --- and they cost less.

Bike Invasion' causes concern
By Heleni Pedersoli
Plainsman Staff Writer
Red bikes. Yellow bikes.
Three-speeders, ten-speeders,
even three-wheeled bikes. It
seems as if everyone owns a bi­cycle,
for they have invaded
the campus and the city by the
hundreds. Economical, easy to
park and versatile, a bicycle
can carry a rider to school, to
the shopping center and even
to a pleasant picnic or camp­ing
site, but they can also be
deadly if improperly used.
Three thousand four
hundred bicycles have been
registered by the Campus
Police since last fall, and still
more are unregistered. With
the big influx of these vehicles,
some situations have arisen
which have prompted the Se­curity
Office to make special
rules and enforce the laws of
bicycle safety. These rules are
printed on a leaflet which is
given to each person who reg­isters
a bicycle and are also
posted on bulletin boards in
the dorms or are available at
the Security Office on request.
This "University Bicycle
Code" is based on Title 36, Ala­bama
State Law and is, there­fore,
applicable to the city as
well as the campus.
According to Chief Millard
Dawson, head of Campus
Security, one of the most im­portant
safety rules to observe
is to keep the bicycle in good
riding condition. The "bicycle
code" lists some equipment re­quired
by law. This includes:
a) brakes on the rear wheel,
which will enable the operator
to stop on dry, clean, level
pavement;
b) a white light in front,
which should be visible from a
distance of at least 500 feet, at
night and at the rear, a red
reflector, at least two inches in
diameter.
Dawson also cited these
rules as being important to bi­cycle
safety:
1. Observe all traffic sign­als
on roadways.
2. Bicycles must be ope­rated
in the direction of traffic
flow and as near to the right of
the roadway as possible.
3. Stay off sidewalks,
especially in congested areas.
4. Yield the right of way to
pedestrians.
5.
5. Do not carry objects that
obstruct your view, or hinder
movements of your hands and
feet.
6. Do not carry more pas­sengers
than the number for
which the bicycle is designed.
7. Never cling to a moving
vehicle.
8. Give hand signals when
turning left or right; stay off
median.
9. Bicycles shouldn't be
operated more than two
abreast when riding together.
10. Park only on designat­ed
areas; do not park on side­walks
and entrances to build­ings.
If a rack is not provided,
park on a grassy area. Do not
park a bicycle under stair­cases,
or where it would block
exits to apartment houses and
dorms.
Register your bicycle. Un­registered
bicycles, bicycles
improperly parked and aban­doned
bikes will be im­pounded
by campus police.
If a bicycle is impounded dor
any of the above reasons, the
owner may go by the Security
Office, identify the bicycle, pay
any penalty withstanding ($10
for failing to register, plus any
penalty for parking viola­tions)
and he will regain the bi­cycle.
It costs one dollar to reg­ister
a bicycle within the re­quired
period between quar­ters
and before classwork be­gins.
The Security Office will, in
case of impoundment, contact
the owner (if the bicycle is reg­istered)
within three days, or
attempt to do so if the bicycle is
unregistered. If all efforts fail
to locate the owner, the bicycle
will be considered abandoned
property and assigned to the
Auburn Union for sale.
"Having the bicycles reg­istered,"
commented Chief
Dawson, "has made auto-,
mobiles drivers more aware of
the rights of bicycle riders."
Furthermore, it is easy for the
Security Office to find a stolen
bicvcle, if it has been reg­istered
and if the owner has
managed to keep up with the
bicycle's serial number, Daw­son
said.
The best protection against
robbery is to have a good chain
and' lock, but Mona Moore,
who is in charge of impounded
or stolen bicycles at Campus
Security, stresses that know­ing
the serial number could
help a great deal in recovering
the stolen bicycle. Moore said
that more than one hundred bi­cycles
have been stolen from
campus, and of these about 90
per cent have been found. In
cases where the stolen bike
was not found the owner didn't
know the serial number of his
bicycle, she said. Moore also
warns students about buying
bicycles that seem to cheap.
Before buying, check with the
Security Office to be sure the
bicycle hasn't been stolen, she
suggested.
Officer Ronnie Hay, of cam­pus
security says that onlv.
BICYCLES CREATE NEED FOR RULES

three bicycle accidents have
occurred on campus in the last
nine months, and none of
them have been serious.. He
said causes of these accidents
were carelessness on the part

THE AURURN PUlNiMlN Thurs., June 21, 1973 Bike buying no longer simple
By Jimmy Johnson
Plainsman Editor
For most college students,
purchasing a bicycle is just not
what it used to be. Probably
the last bicycle that the aver­age
student owned was one
that he had selected from the
Sears Catalogue as a 10-year-old
and found under the
Christmas tree two months
later.
More often than not,it was
red with chrome fenders,
sported dual headlights and
was so heavy that daddy had
to carry the thing out into the
yard because the proud owner
could not lift it.
Now, for the first time since
those pre-teen days, many stu­dents
are in the market for a
new bicycle, whether it be for
strictly transportation or for
recreational purposes, and
with fond memories of simple,
old "Big Red" in the backs of
their mind, they might be con­fused
by the myriad of adult
models available to them.
To begin simplifying the
process of purchasing a new
bike, the shopper should con­sider
why he wants the bi­cycle.
If it is solely for short,
gas-saving hops around town
to class and the supermarket,
an old, balloon-tired one-speed
similar to Big Red would be
sufficient and inexpensive. A
new one-speed can be pur­chased
for a price in the neigh­borhood
of $50, and a good
used one can be found even
cheaper. Three speed bicycles,
trim, moderate-weight bikes
upon which the rider general- V/
ly sits upright, are also excel- ML
lent for the person who ex­pects
to do a lot of local riding
but not much over a great dis­tance.
Good three-speeds can
be found in the nieghborhood
of $80 and less.
Then there is the over­whelmingly
popular ten-speed.
Cheaper ten-speeds can be pur­chased
for between $65 and
$100, approximately. Ten-speeds
in this price range are
good for cruising about one's
local business and for short,
one-day or less recreational ex­cursions.
For the all-out bike freak
who expects to cover hundreds
of miles per outing, a better
quality bicycle is in order.
High quality craftsmanship
can be found in ten-speeds
priced between $100 and $300.
These types of bicycles are nice
to have, because it is currently
cool to own one. However, for a
person not expecting to do
much extended voyaging, they
are not the Droper investment.
the $1000 mark can be pur­chased
from European crafts­men.
But these are not general­ly
used by their owners for a
run to the bookstore and back.
The first thing to consider
when purchasing any bicycle
is the frame.
Of course there is something
for the lunatic fringe also.
Anyone willing and able to
pay the price can purchase ten-speeds
from $300 on up. Hand­made
models which run over

life like good food, good exer­cise
and clean air, and bi­cycling
is one of these simple
pleasures.
"There is also an awareness
of pollution and inflation,
especially in fuel prices, that
has caused a big demand for
bicycles.
"Overall, society is looking
for a change; people are look­ing
for new forms of expres­sion.
Although the bike has
been around for a long time
many are finding it a good
form of personal expression
while at the same time keep­ing
fit."
"We've been in business two
months," said Doug Wor-mack,
manager of The Free-wheeler,
as he looked up from
the half assembled bicycle he
was working on. "I came to Au­burn
to run a bike shop after a
professor in the math depart­ment,
who was unable to find
what he wanted, called me in
Atlanta and talked to me about
opening one up."
The Freewheeler specializes
in foreign bikes which are
more costly than American-made
bikes and which, ac­cording
to Wormack, are much
superior in quality. His 10-
speed bikes range in price from
$100 to $465.
Wormack cites the main rea­son
for increases in the de­mand
for bicycles is the pro­blem
of staying physically fit.
"A few years ago everyone was
jogging to stay in shape, but
now people want to do some­thing
more pleasant that jog­ging
so they take up bicycling.
Some people ride to help the
ecology, but most do it because
it's fun."
Business at the Freewheler
is indicative of the growing de­mand
for bicycles in Auburn.
"Compared with the first nine
days of May, sales for the first
nine days in June increased by
18 per cent," Wormack said.
Max Duer, manager of the
Western Auto store in Auburn
has had to hustle in past
months to keep bikes in sup-because
of strikes in two major
bike companies. "We just
couldn't get enough bikes,"
Duer said, "our companies
were striking and foreign bike
companies were not yet geared
to export bikes to the U.S. "We
sold every bike we could get our
hands on. We got 20 10-speeds
in one order last June and in
two weeks they were all gone."
The week before school
started last fall, Duer drove a
U-Haul truck to Mississippi to
pick up 80 bicycles, and the
week after school began he re­ceived
80 more. "In two
months time about 150 bikes
had been sold," Duer said.
He said that it used to take
up to eight or ten months to get
orders filled for bicycles and
that the bicycle in largest de­mand
now was the 10-sneed.
Duer summed up his opi­nion
of what he thinks has
caused the bike boom: "The bi­cycle
is a challenge to a lot of
lazy Americans who are look-
SHOPPING FOR A BICYCLE
Customers should know what to look for
A most important thing to
keep in mind while inspecting
the frame is its size. The top
bar of the proper size frame
should come within an inch of
the rider's crotch when he is
standing flat-footed astride it.
Frames of all bikes should be
in line and not bent or warped.
To check this, squat in front of
the machine and sight down
the front tube which is between
the handlebars and the fork.
All the other tubes, the seat
tube and the top and down
tubes which form the diamond
shape, should line up behind
this front tube. If they don't,
ing for a way to exercise. This
factor has had more pull than
the ecology and pollution pro­blems
we're facing. For col­lege
students the bicycle has
more practical value than any­thing
else."
It's difficult to predict just
when the bicyle boom will end
or if it ever will, and leaders of
major bike distributors have
varying opinions about the
future of the bicycle market.
Some think that we are only
experiencing an upswing in de­mand
comparable to other
peak periods, while others con­tend
that the bicycle is here to
stay to fulfill serious needs.
John Auerbach, executive
director of Bicycle Institute
Inc. says "the most predict
able gains will be with the 10-
speed bikes, and the younger
group of fitness and ecology-oriented
moderns will be buy­ing
up the more modestly
priced models."
pass the bike by; the frame is
warped.
There are different types of
frames to consider, also, which
are distinguished by the
method used to weld them.
One-speeds, most three-speeds
and cheaper ten-speeds have
frames which are arc-welded
and have smooth joints, the
points where the tubes come to­gether.
Arc-welding employs
a very high-temperature
process which, because of the
I temperature, weakens the
metal at the joint. To compen­sate
for this, a thicker tubing is
used. This makes for a heavier
bicycle, and anyone who is
planning lengthy trips would
want to avoid this type of
frame altogether. However, for
around-town riding, it will not
make that much difference,
and bikes with such frames are
usually cheaper which makes
them attaractive to the casual
cyclist.
Better quality bike frames
are assembled by a process
which involves lugs and braz­ing,
a low-temperature weld­ing.
Lugs are small sleeves of
metal which connect the tubes
at the joints; they add strength
so that the builders do not have
to use such a strong weld as the
arc-weld. This allows the use of
thinner, thus lighter tubing
which, in addition to being less
dead weight, is springier,
thereby absorbing shocks
better and thus reducing
fatigue on long trips.

A tune-up'll help that old bicycle
By Susan Hodges
Plainsman Staff Writer
Many people on the Auburn
campus find great pleasure in
bike riding, but there are those
who fall short of getting their
fair share of pleasure simply
because their bicycle is in need
of a "tune-up."
Pulling the bike out of
storage or riding it after it has
been allowed to sit out in the
weather for a long period of
time, some bicyclists may find
that the brakes are "mushy"
and slow to respond, the pedals
impossible to crank and the
gears difficult to shift.
Proceeding to ride such an ill-kept
piece of machinery, the
cyclist may meet with "bad
luck" on down the road,
wobbling, rattling and shak­ing
all the way.
James Trouse, owner of the
Bike Shop in Auburn says,
"Don'tneglect tightening any­thing
that's loose—like if the
bike feels wobbly or un­stable."
As for the brakes if
they feel mushy and don't
respond quickly and smoothly
when you squeeze them, then
they need adjusting.
This adjustment procedure
for sidepull and centerpull
caliper brakes is not very com­plicated.
The correct adjust­ment
of your brakes is ac­complished
when a minimum
of movement of the brake lever
brings the brake block into
contact with the rim. To do
this, you loosen the lock nut
connecting the brake cable to
the braking mechanism, and
then turn the adjuster until the
brake blocks are just clear of
the rim. Then you retighten the
lock nut. If your brake blocks
are uneven distances away
from the rim, loosen and cen­ter
the entire brake body. Then
tighten the nuts on the brake
block so that the blocks meet
the rim squarely. Replace at
once any worn blocks or frayed
brake cables. If this adjust­ment
procedure is too com­plicated
for you, or if adjust­ing
it doesn't do the trick, then,
let someone who knows what
they are doing either help you
do it, or do it for you. Brakes
need to be in top working order
at all times to insure a safe
stop.
Mike Blacker, owner of
Mike's Bikes on Vaughn Road
in Montgomery, says that be­fore
you do anything, you
should find out what kind of
bike you have, not by brand
name, but by nuts and bolts.
Ask someone who knows
whether your nuts and bolts
are SAE, Metric or Whitworth.
These are sizes, and you'll need
to know sizes when buying the
toots you need in caring for
your bike.
The tools you need are very
few and uncomplicated, and,
in most cases, inexpensive.
Both Trouse and Blacker re­commend
the following: A six-inch
crescent wrench (that is
where you need to know the
size or type of your nuts and
bolts), one large and one small
standard screwdriver; a Phil­lips
screwdriver; a tire patch
.kit; five-inch mini vice-grip
pliers (Useful when you don't
know the size of your nuts and
bolts); a can of good grade
lightweight lubricating oil
(household oil will do if you
need to oil a rusty bike for the
first time in a long time, be­cause
it is penetrating, after
that, use a heavier weight oil,
like 20 or 30 weight). Tell the
dealer why you are buying the
oil and be sure that it is used to
oil bikes you will also need
plenty of clean rags and
polish.
Certain places on your bike
need to be oiled to prolong the
life an to prevent rust. Oil with
a light touch, don't drown the
parts with it. Try to oil your
bike at most once a week or at
least once every month or two,
especially if you ride it a lot, or
after a wet and rainy spell.
With oil can in hand, a good
place to start is at the headset,
or handlebars,particulary the
handlebar stem and the
handlebar fork. The stem and
fork move anytime your are
not riding in a straight line,
so, oil is needed there for easy
handling.
Now, move down to the front
wheel bearings (or hub) and
put some oil there. Then, oil the
crank (pedals) and the crank
bearings. While you are in this
area, oil the chain by pedal­ling
until the length of the
chain has been lubricated. No
matter how light a touch you
used in oiling the chain, wipe it
clean, because it picks up lots
of grime while you are riding
your bike. If you have a 10-
speed, there will be two chain
sprockets here that will need
some oil.
Now, move to the rear wheel
and oil the rear wheel bear­ings,
including the five
sprockets of a 10-speed, if you
have one. If you have a three-speed,
there will be a tiny hole
in the rear wheel hub where
you are to put the oiL Never oil
the gear shift levers, because
they work on friction.
Brake and gear cables need
oil wherever they are not
covered by the protective hous­ing,
such as where they come
out at the handles. This will
prevent rusty cables. It is also
a good idea to put some oil on
the pedals so that they spin
freely, and on the kickstand so
that it will move up and down
easily, (not swing freely!)
Correct tire pressure is im­portant
for ease and safety in
riding. The correct tire pres­sure
for your tires should be
written on the side of the tires.
If it is not, then inflate them
enough to prevent their flat­tening
out when you sit on the
bike. Too little tire pressure
can cause bumps to dent the
rims and injure the tubes.
Overinflation can cause a
blowout, or, in cold weather, it
can cause tires made brittle by
the cold to pop when exposed to
the heat of the sun. Both
Blacker and Trouse warn
against jumping curbs with
your bicycle. "Leave that for
your horse," says Blacker. It
will save rims, tubes and tires
and keep nuts, bolts and
screws tight.
Trouse recommended watch­ing
for cracks and bulges
on the tires, and to be sure that
there is no cord showing
through. Mike Blacker says,
"Do not use the air pumps and
gauges in filling stations be­cause
they are notoriously in­accurate."
He suggests buy­ing
a tire pump that has its
own gauge.
Unless you really know
what you are doing, leave the
gear arrangements of five and
ten-speed bicycles alone.
A flat tire, on the other hand,
is a repair that every rider
needs to know. You can't let a
flat tire "wait" because riding
on a flat tire is a terrible "no-no."
Doin^socar^uintires,
tubes and rims. A flat may
happen to you miles from any
help, so, knowing how to do it
yourself could save you some
time and shoe leather.
Find out whether the manu­facturer
of your bike suggests
removing the wheel with the
flat before trying to fix it. Fol­low
his instructions for this.
Never use sharp tools when re­moving
the tire from the rim,
as it can cause further damage
to the tube. Use either blunt
tire irons or your hands. In fix­ing
the flat, follow the instruc­tions
on the tire patching kit.
Trouse gave some hints on
the use of safety accessories. If
your bike has safety levers on
the brakes, be sure that they
don't take away from the full
action of the brakes; be sure
that you can apply the brakes
as safely with them as without
them, and if not, they should
be removed;

College future may be bad-UA president
The face of the future in
higher education, as pres­cribed
by the Carnegie Report
and hosts of others, is not
necessarily good, University
of Alabama President David
Mathews told an Auburn Uni­versity
audience Tuesday
evening.
Mathews, on campus to ad­dress
the banquet honoring
initiates of Phi Kappa Phi, of­fered
rebutal to six notions
that he feels are currently
popular among those attempt­ing
to prescribe the future.
In brief, those notions are
that the universities of the
future will be: 1) automated, 2)
more practical and more voca­tional,
3) more moral and per­sonal,
4) the home of the new
"socio-technical science-arts,"
5) for special people, and 6)
bureaucratic services rather
than an institutional ex­perience.
Noting that these prescrip­tions
are not necessarily cohe­sive,
he suggested that this
could be anticipated. "Pres­criptions
for the future are sel­dom
cohesive," he pointed out.
"As a matter of fact, their
ambiguity, rather than being a
liability, is often a success be­cause
most of the things ac­cepted
by society are charac­terized
by their ambiguity."
"We're in some period of
transition and our notions of
universities are a composite of
things—in part, Thomas Alva
Edison (electricity in video cas­settes
make for better living),
one part Thomas Jefferson
(education is properly a life­time
experience), and one part
Andrew Jackson (priviledge is
for everybody).
'The critical thing, though,
is to decide how you and I come
out in relationship to these six
prescriptions for the future,"
he said.
Relating to the first pre­scription
of more automation,
Mathews said he suspects this
is true. "But my position here
is: technology, yes; but
impersonalization, no. That is
to say—education is primarily
what happens between two
people in the pursuit of an
idea."
Questioning whether uni­versities
will become more
practical and more vocational
Mathews said, "I think that
it's very true that direct ex­perience
in the field is really
far better than that experience
artificially simulated within
the university. But while I
would accept that, I think I'm
still at heart, a theoretician in
the classical sense."
"So if you're a theoretician
at heart, you cannot believe
that education can be equated
with experience," Mathews
said, adding, "Besides, if
education is equitable with di­rect
experience, we're all wast­ing
a lot of the public's
money."
On the third point regard­ing
more moral and more per­sonal
universities in the
future, Mathews suggested
that the public is confused into
thinking that they are not so
now because the force of moral­ity
is different.
"I think, in some ways, that
moral philosophy at the feet of
the president hs been replaced
Sdiool of Business dean pi&ed
by counseling in a group sen­sitivity
session."
"It is proper that universi­ties
return to a very historic
tradition of being responsible,
not only for the intelligence of
man, but for the use of that in­telligence,"
Dr. Mathews said.
Are universities to become
the home of the new sociotech-nical
science-arts? The youth­ful
University president ad­mitted
coining that term and
said if they don't, they'll miss a
"great phrase."
But in a more serious vein,,
he declared that "anybody
who's been around a universi­ty
more than a month knows
that interdisciplinary work is
the 'biggest graveyard' in
academe."
"We're all painfully aware
that to have one historian and
one sociologist and one
political scientist, each teach­ing
three weeks of a nine-week
course does not make for
togetherness in an academic
sense," he stated, adding, "I
think we're all poor at talking
to one another.
"But," he conceded, "I still
think that the most exciting
things that I know of right now
are going on at that cross-point
of pollination
ciplines."

Dr. George R. Horton has
been appointed dean of the
School of Business, Pres.
Harry M. Philpott announced
this week. The appointment is
effective July 1. He will
succeed Dr. O. D. Turner who
has resigned to head a private
business consulting firm.
Horton was selected with the
help of a search committee
headed by Dr. Clarence C.
Miley of the Department of Ac­counting
and Finance.
"After a nationwide search
involving the investigation of
almost 150 possibilities, we
have decided that the indivi­dual
best able to lead the
School of Business forward is
our own Dr. George Horton,"
Philpott said.
"He has demonstrated as
head of the Department of
Marketing and Transporta­tion
his ability to build a
strong academic program in
the short term of five years he
has been a member of our
faculty.
"With the appointment of
Dr. Horton, we renew our com­mitment
to attain a fully ac­credited
School of Business
and enlarge the contributions
of Auburn University to the
business communities of our|
state and region," Philpott
said.
Horton, a native of Macon,
Ga., was appointed professor
and head of the Department of
Marketing and Transporta
tion at Auburn in 1970. He has
been a member of the faculty in
that department since 1968
and this year was elected by
the students as the Outstand
ing Professor in the School '• of
Business.
Prior to his first appoint­ment
at Auburn, Horton
taught at the University of
Georgia at Athens and at the
University of Virginia. He also
has broad experience in indus­trial
supervision and business
consulting, and is widely
George R. Horton
known in the business com­munity.
He has published a large
number of papers based prin­cipally
upon his research and
studies in the field of transpor­tation.
He holds the Bachelor of
Science and Master of Science
degrees from Auburn and the
Ph.D. from the University of
Virginia.

Concerning the view, held
by many that universities; are
for special people, Mathews
said he thinks it is inevitable
in the social and political pro­cesses
of this country that
higher education will be for all
the people. The answer, how­ever,
does not lie in such things
as open admissions, he added.
"I don't think that
democracy is made rich by
lowering the standards so that
people can reach them. I think
it's made rich by enriching the
people to the point that they
can reach the standards."
The presciption that univer- -
sities are to become bureau­cratic
services rather than an
institutional experience comes
at a time when institutions are
not very popular, Mathews
pointed out.
"If you destroy the institu­tions
in higher education,
where will we look for the kind
of pluralism that makes us a
strong country? And where
will we look for the kind of
creative difference that makes
this an interesting institu­tion?"

Student work
to be shown
in embassies
Auburn University's Art De­partment
has been selected
along with 12 other leading
university printmaking de­partments
to contribute 60
prints which will be bought
and exhibited by some 50 to
100 embassies over the world.
Four graduate students have
been chosen by the depart­ment
to take partin the project.
They are Bill Baggett of Nash­ville,
Tenn., Calvin Foster of
Memphis, Tenn., John Massey
of Birmingham, and Phillip
Fitzpatrick of Auburn.
The U.S. Information
Agency in Washington, D. C.
which has contacted embas­sies
abroad, reports "they have
expressed their enthusiasm
about receiving original
American works of arts. The
embassies are also in great
need of small and easily por­table
exhibitions of American
arts."
A spokesman for the
Agency, Robert P. Ebersole,
said, "The prints will be used
to publicize the excellent work
being done in art departments
throughout the United
States. Some of the most
creative work being done
today can be found in these de­partments,
particularly
among printmakers at the gra­duate
level."
After the prints arrive in
Washington, the Information
Agency will ngotiate for care­fully
selected prints. The selec­tion
process will take into ac­count
the varying political,
religious and cultural back­grounds
of the countries since
the Agency does not want to
risk offending host govern­ment
sensibilities in these
areas.
The Agency officials will
then package the prints in
exhibitions of 30 and ship
them to the posts along with
publicity materials on the
artists and their respective
universities.
The student may suggest the
size and color of the mats for
his prints which will help
insure that they are presented
in a manner which the artist
would approve.
The prints from Auburn will
be grouped with prints from
other selected universities, and
will go to such places as
Europe, South America, Afri­ca,
the Far East and the Near
East.
They will be bought by the
embassies and the Agency will
pay Auburn's Art Guild, a stu­dent
organization, that will in
turn pay the students.
Charles Hiers, head of the
Art Department, is very
pleased with the award. "This
is quite an honor for our de­partment
and it's due to the
students and faculty."
The completed prints will be
sent to Washington in late
May and the exhibitions will
be sent to the embassies by mid
to late June.

Miami leads way
in women's athletics
There were many interesting characters in the women's
sports world gathered at last week's United States Lawn Ten­nis
Association's Women's Collegiate Championships in Au­burn
last week. One of those was Ms. Isabel Hutchinson, the
Women's Athletic Director and the head of the In tramurals pro­gram
at the University of Miami.
Miami has come into national recognition recently for its
progressive action in awarding athletic scholarships to wo­men.
A recent decision made by Miami's Athletic Board and the
Board of Trustees put women on an equal basis athletically
with the men at Miami.
Other schools have also offered scholarships to women but
never on as large as scale as Miami has done. Fifteen full
scholarships have been given outor will have been given out by
the end of the summer. This may not seem like many scholar­ships
when compared to the men's athletic program but it be­comes
more significant when you consider that the scholar­ships
are concentrated in tennis,, golf and swimming. Varsity
women's sports programs are also offered in basketball and vol­leyball
but the scholarships are not being handed out much yet
in these sports.
How did such an innovation come about at a major universi­ty?
At a student rap session with the Vice President of Student
Affairs a girl tennis team member at Miami, Kitty Van Allen
from Rochester, New York, asked why women athletes that
worked as hard as the men could not earn scholarships. Dr. Wil­liam
Butler, the Vice President of Student Affairs, felt that the
young lady had raised a valid question. The issue was soon pas­sed
on to the Athletic Board and it agreed that the time had
come for scholarships for women at Miami. The Board of
Trustees also favored the program and suddenly Miami was the
leading university in the nation in euqalizing varsity athletics.
Miami had already built a good woman's sports program
from a strong intramurals program. Last year Miami had the
number one program in the nation in golf, fifth in tennis and
19th in swimming. With the offer of 15 scholarships every year
to draw in some of the top women athletes in the nation,
Miami's program can only rise to the top.
How do the men feel about women receiving scholarships?
According to tennis player Kitty Van Allen of Miami, one of the
girls scheduled to receive a scholarship, "I haven't seen any
resentment at all from the men. In fact there has been nothing
but cooperation from everyone concerned with the new pro­gram."
Ms. Hutchinson has similar feelings about the scholarships,
"We were really surprised that the board passed the resolution
for the scholarships, but we have had nothing butsupport from
everyone connected with the program. Our men and women
teams have both given each other much support. I think that
you will see more of this equalization throughout the country."
Auburn University has always been a football school, and an
emphasis should be placed on the sport that pays the way for
most of the other athletic teams, but there is room for a better all
around program here. Recently Auburn has seen more concern
given to the "minor" sports, perhaps it's time now to also con­sider
women's athletics seriously at Auburn.

METCALF REPEATS AS CHAMPION
. . . Tennis star wins Women's Collegiate Championship
Metcalf wins second collegiate cup
By Charlie Rhodes
Plainsman Sports Editor
One hundred fifteen girls
came from over the nation to
take on the champ. Last year
Janice Metcalf had taken on
the field at Auburn in the
National Collegiate Women's
Tennis Championships, and
she walked away the winner.
Now she was back to defend
her championship.
She started her task on Mon­day,
May 11, and she made her
job look easy. The tall red
haired junior from University
of Redlands in California
rolled over her first opponent,
Valerie Franta of Trinity 6-0,6-
0. Nancy Eigenaver from Long
Beach State had the misfor­tune
of meeting Ms. Metcalf
next. Result 6-0, 6-0.
The word began to spread
among the tennis fans around
Auburn, "You've got to see
Janice Metcalf play. She's un­believable."
The word didn't
spread among the players,
they already knew about the
girl that had played against
such tennis greats as Mar­garet
Court and Evonne Gool-aeone.
At the same time that Met­calf
was breezing through her
bracket, the 11th seeded girl
from California State Univer­sity,
Tina Watanabe was pull­ing
several upsets to gain the
not too desirable task of fac­ing
Janice Metcalf in the
finals. The stage was set last
Saturday with a large crowd
filling the stands and Ala­bama
Educational Television
covering the singles and
doubles finals.

Mason at NCAA golf meet
By Charlie Rhodes
Plainsman Sports Editor
When James Mason tees off
today in the NCAA national
golf tournament, he will be­come
the first representative
from Auburn University since
Bill Lovell and Bucky Ayers
were selected to play in the na­tional
championship in 1968.

AU thinclads
fail to qualify
in NCAA final
By Gordon Cone
Plainsmaf Staff Writer
Finishing out the 1973
season, Auburn Head Coach
Mel Rosen carried three of his
top performers, Bret Dull, Jim
Carson, and Tim Curry, to
Baton Rouge to compete
among the best of the nation's
track and field athletes in the
NCAA championships, held
June 7, 8 and 9.
Jim Carson turned in an out­standing
performance in the
high hurdles, although his 14.0
clocking failed to get him into
the finals, which were won by
Olympian Rod Milburn in
record-setting time of 13.1.
Carson's time, an improve­ment
of almost seven tenths of
a second over his previous
best, moved him into second
place on Auburn's all-time list.
Discus thrower Bret Dull
was disappointed with his 160'
effort in the discus, after reach­ing
a new personal record in
the USTFF Meet, held the pre­vious
week in Wichita,
Kansas.
Dull, also second on Au­burn's
all-time list, trails one­time
Olympic performer Jim
Dillion's record by only two
feet. Dillion's record of 180'6"
has stood at Auburn for 18
years.
Looking back on the 1973
season, Coach Rosen stated he
was very proud of the people
who reached the NCAA meet,
and expressed satisfaction
with the season.
"We placed higher this year
in the conference than in the
previous four years," Rosen
said, "and with this year's crop
of recruits, we expect to move
UD even hipber." ^^^
spring, will have his work cut
out for him at the Stillwater
Golf and Country Club in
Oklahoma as he competes
against the best college golfers
in America. Such golfing
greats as Ben Crenshaw, two
time defending national cham­pion
from the University of
Texas, Gary Koch, the current
SEC champion, and Danny
Edwards, nationally famous
amateur golfer from Okla­homa
State, are representa­tive
of the caliber golfer that
will be found at the tourna­ment.
Mason was selected by a Dis­trict
3 committee that con­sisted
of coaches from Wake
Forest, Florida, and East Ten­nessee
State. The committee
based their selections on a
player's performance during
his career at a University.
Mason has been a consistent
performer for the Tiger golfers
for four years, and was the low
scorer for Auburn this year.
Auburn golf coach Anthony
Dragoin was pleased with the
selection, "James has been a
leader for our team all year. We
were a young team and a
senior such as James realy
helped our squad. I feel like
James has made a valuable
contribution during his entire
four years at Auburn and I cer­tainly
hope he plays well in the
tournament."
Mason will have to play well
just to make the 36 hole cut
Friday. The field will be cut to
the top 15 teams and any other
individual players within 10
shots of the leader.
The SEC will be well repre­sented
at the collegiate tour­nament.
The top four finishers
from the SEC tournament will
participate at Stillwater. Flori­da,
Alabama, Georgia, and
LSU all made the trip.

COACH JORDAN AWAITS ALL-STAR GAME
. . . Nationally televised game to be seen Saturday
Jordan coaches East team
in College All-Star Game
By David Storey
Plainsman Staff Writer
Auburn Coach Ralph
"Shug" Jordan, runnerup for
National Coach of the Year
honors this past season, will
head coach an East squad of
College All-Stars in the 13th
annual Coaches All-Ameri­can
Football Game Saturday
in Lubbock, Texas.
The nationally televised at­traction,
to be played in Texas
Tech's Jones Stadium, has in­creasingly
taken on an Au­burn
flavor in recent weeks.
Jordan's own top aide at Au­burn,
Paul Davis, will work
with both the East's offense
and defense, while three stand­outs
from last year's 10-1 Au­burn
season, Dave Beck, Jay
Casey, and Danny Sanspree
are expected to start for the
East.
Jordan's selection as head
coach of the East was based on
balloting in the National
Coach of the Year poll, in
which he finished second to
Southern California's John
McKay. McKay will serve as
head coach of the talented
West squad which features
such names as Rich Glover,
Greg Pruitt, and McKay's own
Sam Cunningham.
Jordan can call upon two
capable quarterbacks to guide
the East's offense. Terry Davis
of Alabama, primarily a
runner, and Don Strock of Vir­ginia
Tech, an exceptional
passer who led the nation in
throwing, will operate from the
Houston, v e e r offense, which
will utilize the talents of both
signal callers, Running backs
for the East include Otis Arm­strong
of Purdue, Chuck Fore­man
of Miami, Charles Davis
of Alcorn A & M and Ron Bell
of Illinois State.
In addition to Davis, Jordan
will be assisted by Lew Holtz of
North Carolina State and
Tubby Raymond of Delaware,
last season's NCAA small
college division National
Coach of the Year.
Saturday s game marks
Jordan's first appearance in a
major All-Star game of this
sort.
Monday, June 24, will begin
another quarter of intramural
action at Auburn University.
Intramural athletes will head
to the fields and courts to par­ticipate
in basketball, volley­ball,
and soft-ball.
Last quarter saw another
successful year come to an end
for LCA fraternity as they
claimed the All-Sports Trophy.
PKT took some of the glory
away from the LCA win with a
victory over LCA in the finals
of the softball action spring
quarter. LCA jumped to an
early lead but PKT rallied to
take a 4-2 lead into the seventh
inning. LCA led off the inning
with a home run to pull within
one run and had a runner on
third with two outs. The LCA
batter then singled up the mid­dle
apparently tying the game.
However the runner on third
was called out by the umpire
who said the runner had left
third before the ball left the pit­cher's
hand, thus giving PKT
the game.
For those who find little to do
in Auburn in the summer they
can always turn to sports
activities. The Memorial Col­iseum
Swimming Pool will be a
popular gathering place for
students this summer. The
pool will be open from 3 p.m.
until 5 p.m. Monday through
Friday afternoons, and from 7
p.m. until 10 p.m. Monday
through Friday nights. The
pool will be open each Satur­day
and Sunday from 2 p.m.
until 5 p.m. The pool will be
open for all students, faculty
and staff.
The Auxiliary Gym and
Weight Room of the Memorial
Coliseum will be available
daily after 3 p.m. for Informal
Recreation. The Sports Arena
and the Student Activities will
also be open from 2 p.m. until 6

THE AUBURN PuwfMiN TOWS.. June 21,1973 page is
Extension given vet grant
to study dog heart problems
Thousands of people in the
United States might be dead
today without the help of some
of their four-footed friends
some years ago.
There was a time when these
people were virtually doomed,
living on borrowed time. They
had "bad hearts," cursed with
birth defects, faulty valves, or
cardiac muscles that beat out
of rhythm.
But research performed on
small animals with the same
or similar problems led the
way to overcoming these
obstacles. Today, external
pacemakers and replacement
heart valves, while not com­monplace,
can extend the lives
of these people. These are just a
few of the benefits brought to
man through the work of doc­tors
of veterinary medicine,
and those at Auburn Universi­ty's
School of Veterinary
Medicine are no exception.
Dr. B.T. Robertson, Dr. S.D.
Beckett and research as­sociate
Charles Branch are
three of the many working
with animals in hopes of solv­ing
the diseases and maladies
of man as well as best.
Robertson, associate profes­sor
of Physiology and Phar­macology
at the School, ex­plained
that they have recent­ly
received an extension to a
three-year grant to study cer­tain
cardiac problems in dogs.
The grant, awarded by the
National Heart and Lung In­stitute
(NHLI) and now ex­tended
for an additional three
years, calls for a study of the
autonomic nervous system
and the heart's conduction sys­tem,
the network of special­ized
muscle cells that passes
the message to the heart tell­ing
it when to beat.
Robertson explained that a
breakdown or a defect in this
system could cause the heart to
skip several beats occasional­ly
or even stop beating
altogether. "A few skipped
beats would cause a halt in the
flow of blood to the brain and
the dog would faint."
' 'If we can find the reason for
this in dogs, then it will shed
some light on the same pro­blem
with man."
The study involves 30 to 40
dogs retained by the School
which have shown these de­fects.
"We're not sure if the pro­blem
is hereditary or not,"
Robertson said. "Hopefully we
will be able to use this as an
animal model to study for a
solution to similar cases in
man."
An animal model is an ani­mal
or group of animals which
has similar medical problems
to those of humans.
Robertson said that the pro­blem
appears to lie in the dog's
heart conduction system or the
autonomic nervous system,
with the signals stimulating
the heart to beat either dis­rupted
or stopped. He said that
there are two "nodes," (one of
which is the natural pace­maker),
that receive signals
from the brain and control the
pumping. If the first of these
fails to operate, he said, then
the second can "kick in" and
restart the heart action. But if
there is a break in the conduc­tion
system, then the heart
muscles won't get the message
to pump and the patient may
die.
This research has spurred
conjecture that similar factors
may aftect an unexplained kil­ler
in humans called the "Sud­den
Infant Death Syndrome"
(SIDS). This is the largest kil­ler
of infants beween the ages
of one to six months old.
Robertson said that these dogs
have several signs that are
similar to SIDS. However, he
cautioned that there are many
other possible explanations for
SIDS. "Hopefully, the animals
in the NHLI study can serve as
animal models for research on
the Syndrome."
But some coronary pro­blems
in dogs are not the same
as they are in humans. "Man's
major heart problem is
'corononary thrombosis,' a
blockage of blood vessels lead­ing
to certain portions of the
heart. In man, this results in
the death of a large portion of
the tissue of the heart," he ex­plained.
"One or two attacks of
this type can kill a human."
"But this is rare in dogs. They
suffer what we call 'micro-in­farctions'
which affect only a
minute portion of the heart tis­sue."
Dogs and other animals
have shown their value in
many areas of research con­cerning
heart porblems. Ex­ternal
pacemakers were first
used on dogs to replace the
natural pacemaker which be­came
defective. New synthetic
valves were surgically im­planted
in smaller animals
long before the first man re­ceived
his. Small animals were
also the first to receive organ
transplants, cardiac drugs and
defibrillation, an electric
shock to restart the heart.
Retiring Bowman given certificate
Joseph R. Bowman, who re­cently
retired after more than
27 years service with Auburn
University, was presented
with a certificate of apprecia­tion
by Pres. Harry M. Phil-pott
and an engraved tray and
gift by members of the Build­ings
and Grounds Depart­ment
and friends this week.
During World War II
Bowman was superintendent
of construction with the U.S
Engineers engaged in mili­tary
construction at Maxwell
Field and other military bases.
He came to Auburn in Decem­ber
of 1945 as Construction En­gineer
with the Buildings and
Grounds Department.
Bowman was again a key
figure in planning and the con­struction
of Auburn's more
modern buildings to meet the
"War Babies" surge, begin­ning
with the first permanent
Married Student Apartments
in 1959 and all buildings, large
and small, that have been com­pleted
since.
"His knowledge of construc­tion,
devotion to duty and abi­lity
to maintain highest
respect from associates, B & G
employes, and architects and
contractors throughout the
state has been outstanding. He
has truly been a dedicated
figure in the growth of Auburn
University," said Col. L. E.
Funchess, director of Build­ings
and Grounds.
Just before his retirement,
Bowman suffered a severe
stroke and was hospitalized
for two months. He is now a
patient at the Opelika Nurs­ing
Home where he is visited
regularly by his wife, Mrs.
Elizabeth C. Bowman and his
son, Joe Jr.

Philpott elected to
vice chairmanship
Pres. Harry M. Philpott has
been elected vice chairman of
the Southern Regional Educa­tion
Board (SREB). He suc­ceeds
Dr. David W. Mullins,
former vice president of Au­burn
and now presidem of the
University of Arkansas.
Gov. John C. West of South
Carolina was elected chair­man,
to succeed Gov. Lin wood
Holton of Virginia. Sen. Fre­derick
L. Eagan of Louisiana
was elected secretary-trea­surer.
The new officers, who serve
for a period of one year, were
elected unanimously by the
Board at the annual meeting of
SREB held recently in Hot
Springs, Va.
In other action, the Board
approved a plan for an "aca­demic
common market" for the
South, an interstate pact
aimed at providing graduate
education at a lower cost to
both the students and the
states.
The plan, to become effec­tive,
must be ratified by at
least five member states since
the SREB is an advisory
educational unit, without pf-ficial
powers to bind member
states.
States which could ultimate­ly
join in the pact are Texas,
Arkansas, Louisiana, Missis­sippi,
Alabama, Florida, Geor­gia,
South Carolina, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Ken­tucky,
Virginia, West Vir­ginia,
and Maryland.
The plan would permit grad­uate
students from the pact
states to attend state-sup­ported
universities of any
other pact state, paying only
in-state tuition rates. This
would eliminate the need for
costly duplication of many
graduate programs.
Philpott said that the "com­mon
market" approach to
education in the South will
conserve regional resources by
reducing costly empire build­ing
at the increasingly expen­sive
graduate school level.
The share-the-educational
wealth approach would allow
states which did not offer cer-

Students take 5 national awards
Judges in a national stu­dent
architectural design com­petition
in Boston, Mass., re­cently
made their selections,
unmasked the identifications
of the students preparing the
entries, and did a double-take.
Auburn University stu­dents
had made a clean sweep
of the top five prizes in the
Hornbostel Memorial Award
Competition sponsored
periodically by The National
Institute for Architectural
Education (NIAE).
According to the students'
advisor, Alumni Assistant
Professor John Bryant of Au­burn's
Architecture Depart­ment,
this is the first time one
school has swept all five
honors in the event during his
15 years of association with it.
The winners, all pre-fifth
year students in architecture
are: Richard H. Fox of Annis-ton,
first place, $800; Jack T.
Plaxco of Birmingham, second
place, $200; James L. McGre­gor
of Mobile, third-place, $100;
Edward M. Brummal Jr. of
Hampton, Va., first mention,
$50; and Robert J. Farrow of
Auburn, second mention, $25.
Other honorable mentions
went to students from Georgia
Tech, Oklahoma University,
University of Illinois, and Vir­ginia
Polytechnic Institute.
In all, 61 entries were sub­mitted
from 12 schools. In ad­dition
to the above, these in­cluded:
Ball State University
in Indiana; Cooper Union and
Pratt Institute, New York;
Harvard, University of Hous­ton;
University of New Mexico,
and Notre Dame.
The NIAE, made up of a

Associate professor
heads tourist survey
Trapping tourists isn't
exactly new, but it is new for
the Auburn School of Busi­ness.
Dr. James Adams, associate
professor of marketing and
transportation is "setting the
traps" for May-to-September
travelers through the state.
The traps are questionnaires
located at seven different sur­vey
points established on high­ways
serving as major traffic
lanes for interstate traffic.
The entire plan is an effort to
find out more about the
tourist—his age, his income,
the size of his family, purpose
of the trip, amount spent in
Alabama and how it is al­located.
Although some statis­tics
already exist, more in­formation
on the tourist's
origin, destination and de­sires
is expected to offer new in­sight.
Such a profile is ex­pected
to help in the develop­ment
of future attractions or
the expansion of existing facil­ities
for fun and games in the
state.
The project is being sup­ported
by the Alabama Bureau
of Publicity and Information
(ABPI). They've allocated
$3,000 for the study since they
need all the information they
can get to help promote Ala­bama.
Tourism is big business in
any state, and Alabama is no
exception. According to recent
figures, it ranks number two as
an industry, which counts in
the motel and restaurant busi­ness.
But according to the
tourism folks, Alabama is still
only a passing-through state,
with the majority of visitors on
their way to Floria, New Or­leans
or to the Southwest.
"If we could keep every
tourist that visited Alabama
last year for just one addi­tional
night and one addi­tional
day," said Colleen Pip­pin,
assistant director of ABPI
at the Auburn-based Alabama
Growth Conference last
month, "this would produce an
additional $250 million in re­venue
for Alabama."
In addition to the question­naires,
there will be personal
interviews and automobile
counts, according to Adams.
Alabama has no welcome cen­ters
as yet, so Stuckey's is co­operating
as survey point loca­tions.
Posters and question­naires
are already in use.
Adams received the doctor of
business administration, the
master of business education
and the bachelor of business
administration at Georgia
State University. He has been
on the Auburn faculty since
1969.
The study will allow him to
provide a brief for determin­ing
the economic impact of
tourists coming into the state,
he says, and possibly a con­tinuing
center will be set up to
provide continual informa­tion
of all kinds on tourists.
tects from across the country,
has sponsored student compe­titions
for more than 70 years,
according to Bryant. The
Hornbostel Award is given
every four or five years.
This year's designs centered
on structures for music fes­tivals.
Students were asked to
design prefabricated, portable
buildings, which might be
used for outdoor festivals such
as Woodstock or for classical
events.
According to Bryant, these
had to be easily erectable,
light, and transportable. The
designs had to include units to
provide stage, dressing rooms,
food, first aid, sewage, gar­bage
and toilet facilities for
crowds of up to 50,000 persons.
The students had three
weeks in which to prepare their
entries, each including two
drawings on a single board.
Bryant, who did a year of work
researching portable units for
Navy hospitals, worked with a
total of 13 architectural de­sign
students who did their en­tire
research and work on the
Auburn campus.
From the 13 students, eight
designs were selected for the
national competition. Win­ners
were not identifiable by
name or school until after the
judges had completed their
selections.
The winning designs are
now on exhibit in the Boston
Architectural Center and will
be returned to Auburn during
the summer.

When purchasing a bike
with a lugged frame, check to
see if the weld is neat. If it is
rough and bubbly it is a sign of
poor craftsmanship; there
could be other less obvious
defects.
Almost everyone upon first
encountering a ten-speed with
its skinny seat and back-bend­ing
handlebars thinks that it
must be incredibly uncomfor­table.
On the contrary, the
design is scientific and as­sures
more pedalling effe-ciency,
less loss of energy and
less fatigue. But again, for
local use, an upright bike is
just as good.
And those horrible-looking
seats are not actually bad at
all, for they fit the position of
the crotch when the rider as­sumes
the bent position. Used
on a bike with upright handle­bars,
however, the seat would
indeed be murderous. The
saddle of more expensive bikes
is leather which, in time, will
mold to the rider's personal
contours. -
The element most important
next to the frame would pro­bably
be the brakes on the bi­cycle.
All one-speeds, with few
exceptions, have coaster
brakes which engage when the
rider presses backwards on the
pedals. They are simple to
operate and maintain.
Most three-speeds and all
ten-speeds have caliper brakes
which are operated by a lever
on the handlebars that, when
squeezed, causes two brake
shoes on either side of the
wheel to close on the wheel
binding it. There are two types
of caliper brakes, side-pull
brakes and center-pull brakes.
Both work effectively, but the
center-pull variety exerts a
more even pressure and is
found on all better bicycles.
The brake lever when de­pressed
should move about two
inches inward before engag­ing
the brake clamps; if it
moves further the brakes are
out of adjustment, but this
should not disqualify a bicycle
from consideration for it is a
simple procedure to adjust
them.
Another factor to consider
when inspecting new bicycles
is the wheels. Less expensive
bicycles have small hubs
which are barely visible
behind the axle nuts that hold
the front wheel in place; better
bicycles have wide hubs which
are about three inches in dia­meter.
The spokes on cheaper bi­cycles
are seldom intertwined
but simply lay over one an­other.
Spokes of better bikes
will intertwine where they
cross; this helps absorb road
shock.
Another major thing which
some potential cyclists erro­neously
might pass off as ir­relevant
is the color of the new
bike; it should be pleasing even
if it means taking a bike of a
slightly less quality than
others on the display floor. A
bicycle which is attractive to
its owner will be better cared
for even after the newness
wears off.
These are just a few of the ob­vious
distinguishing points
among bicycles and are not all
there are by any means. But if
they are all taken into con­sideration,
a student purchas­ing
his first new bike since
childhood should come away
pleased with his purchase.
