A U beauties rated third
in nationwide competition

Quick camera glimpses of some pretty felt-hatted
coeds during the Auburn—Alabama game last year
were made at the discretion of the experienced "honey
shot" eye of Andy Sidaris, of the ABC network. It
seems that Sidaris' special assignment for college
football games televised by ABC is to find the rant­ing
and raving beauties, armed with their pom-poms,
frowns and smiles who will most appeal to his televi­sion
audience.
It's a hard j o b . . . and not always a pleasant one for
Sidaris. He holds definite opinions about where the
girls look best, according to a San Diego Union inter­view.
Where do Auburn females fall on Sidaris' nation­wide
rating list for fair fans? They're number three,
right after Alabama and Texas, and right before
UCLA. Tennessee, LSU and then Oklahoma fall into
the lovelies rating showing that Sidaris is attracted to
Scarlett O'Hara's old stomping ground, the South­west
and the much publicized California girls.
The Big 10 girls, except for Purdue, fall low on
Sidaris' list for goodlooking targets to capture with
the camera. According to Sidaris, it's a disaster area
at Wisconsin where girls "get their hairdo hints from
Field & Stream," at Minnesota, where "the style is
Early Lumberjack" and at Michigan, where "the girls
dress like old Joan Crawford movies."
In some regions Sidaris ignores the cheerleaders and
the overweight majorettes and concentrates on the
biceps of the linebacker. But in the south, Sidaris
zooms in on his favorite group of Alabama cheerlead­ers
and short-skirted Auburn fans and tries to forget
his session in Buffalo where "all the girls looked like
plant foremen."
Sidaris says beauty moves just like his camera.
Colorado, it seems, is beginning to sprout a few more
beautiful fans in its stands, since "they're getting a lot
of California girls," Sidaris said. There is a cut offline
for California beauties, however, around Bakers-field,
he said. Northern California girls just don't
have the appeal of Southern California girls. "Stan­ford
is no place for honey shots." Sidaris claimed. He
even throws the final insulting question "Is there a
shortage of hairbrushes at Stanford?"
Auburn's football season might not have been a
complete disaster since they rated third nationwide as
far asphctogenic females go. And Alabama can pull
out their too-hastily printed "We're number one"
stickers, If Andy Sidaris' veteran eye pulls any
weight.
He's watching, rating and waiting for theBig 10 to
really get on the field with the Southeastern Con­ference.
As far as beautiful female fans go, they're not
very tough competition.

Black athletes follow rules;
reinstated but on probation
By Frank Whatley
Assistant News Editor
"The end of the episode" is how head
football coach Ralph "Shug" Jordan des­cribed
the return of three football play­ers
to the varsity football team after a
dispute over a ban on facial hair.
Mitzi Jackson, running back; Tom
Gossom, wide receiver; and full back Sul­livan
Walker, were reinstated Saturday,
Sunday and Monday, respectively after
they complied with the grooming regula­tion,
Jordan said. The regulation forbids
moustaches, goatees, sideburns and
beards on football players.
The athletes will take part in the win­ter
exercise program and the request for
cancellation of the scholarships will be
withdrawn, Jordan noted.
The black players are on "probation,"
Jordan said, defining that as "continued
compliance" with the regulation. Several
white players were also in noncom­pliance
Thursday, he said, but they
agreed to shave.
Last Thursday Jackson and Walker
were moved out of the athletic dorm,
Sewell Hall, when they told Jordan they
would not comply with the regulation.
Gossom, who lives off campus, also re­fused
to comply. All three were notified
that their scholarships would be
terminated at the end of winter quarter.
After suspension of the three athletes,
11 other black athletes walked out in
sympathy with them.
These sympathizers were on the
basketball and track teams. Each
returned to their team by Saturday to
take part in the Auburn-Ole Miss basket­ball
game and in a track meet in Mont­gomery.
"(Basketball) Coach (Bob) Davis
called a conference and we discussed our
Editorial on this subject, page 6
problem," said basketball player Eddie
Johnson. Davis met with the basketball
players involved and said there was no­thing
he (Davis) could do about the reg­ulation,"
according to Johnson.
" I don't know anything about the other
athletes that quit, but my only concern is
that my players have come back," said
Davis at the game Saturday.
Johnson said after Saturday's game
that he had been misquoted by The Mont­gomery
Advertiser as saying black
athletes shouldn't come to Auburn.
Pointing to his own participation in
the game, Johnson said, "As you can see,
I don't feel this way." Johnson said last
week's controversy over grooming reg­ulations
was not racially motivated.
"It wasn't important," said Johnson
concerning the incident, "We just missed
practice."
Jordan commented Monday that
grooming "is part of discipline and part
of being a good football team." Citing
last year's football record as an indi­cation
of a lack of discipline, Jordan said
he hopes the enforcement of the groom­ing
policy will instill pride in the team.
"I am fairly lenient on hair," Jordan
said about other restrictions.
Commenting on athletic scholarships,
Jordan pointed to this reporter's
moustache and said, "I don't object to
your moustache, but if I paid your way
through school I would."
"It (facial hair) has nothing to do with
ability. It has to do with submitting to
discipline," Jordan said.
"I'm not in a position, like in the pros,
where I can fine someone for a breach of
discipline."
Jordan denied the players had no
choice, "They did have a choice they
could or couldn't comply."
Jordan said he feels the affair has been
"grossly exagerated."
"If it had been three white or black
players, it would have been minor. It was
when the basketball and track athletes
(became involved)," he said, that the is­sue
received widespread attention. ,
The football team wasn't motivated
last year, Jordan said. "Maybe we, as
coaches, haven't done as well," he said.
"Auburn football isn't that bad. We've
lost only nine games in the past three
years."
Jordan said he hoped the incident
would not hurt football recruiting. In an
Atlanta Constitution interview he said
that if a prospect felt he would not com­ply
"then we'll have to tell him he's better
off somewhere else."

IPC elects Hornsby, Hendrickson,
Devore, Ray to new officer posts
By Greg Lisby
Managing Editor
John Hornsby, 3CE, was elected pres­ident
of the Interfraternity Council over
Bill Stone, 3BT, at the IFC elections ban­quet
Sunday night.
Hornsby, who was elected IFC
administrative vice president last year,
assumed the duties of IFC president
following the death of IFC President
Danny Lowrey. Lowrey drowned while
scuba diving near Branford, FL, last
July.
Hornsby was elected by a three-to-one
margin over Stone, who served as secre­tary-
treasurer this year.
Rob Hendrickson, 4 AC, was elected ad­ministrative
vice president by a two-to-one
margin over Randy Pittman, 2PB, in
a runoff. Dudley Devore, 2GPO, won over
Steve Williamson, 3PL, for the post of
rush vice president and Ricky Ray, 3AC,
was elected secretary-treasurer over
Larry Copenhaver, 3PM.
Hornsby reiterated Lowrey's promise
at his election to work for more partici­pation
of individual fraternity pres­idents
in the IFC, "I want to get each of
them more involved in the work of the
IFC and in the decision-making pro­cess,"
Hornsby said.
Hornsby also said he hoped to get the
IFC more involved on campus. "We hope
to take advantage of more of the services
the University offers, such as the Com­puter
Center and Photographic Ser­vices,"
he said. "I want the IFC to work
more closely with the Panhellenic Coun­cil
and we are even looking into the pos­sibility
of combining our two newslet­ters."
The IFC Executive Cabinet plans to
visit each of the different fraternities for

dinner and hold a question and answer
period with the fraternity members after­wards.
"It'll be what you could call an
'interaction period'," Hornsby said.
IFC representatives are attending the
Southeastern Interfraternity Con­ference
in Atlanta beginning today and
lasting through Saturday. John
Thrower, 3LPO, former rush vice pres­ident,
is a candidate for president of the
conference.

PATRONS OF TERRELL DINING HALL DWINDLE IN NUMBER
Causing Terrell to realize an $11,000 deficit during January
II
1 Lack of use, losses may close Terrell
Two students arrested
in weekend drug raid
By Biz Binnings
Assistant Technical Editor
Terrell Dining Hall in the south
women's dormitories area is in
danger of being closed, according
to Gussie Calhoun, assistant dean'
of women. Calhoun said, "Unless
more girls start eating there, the
University will have to shut it
down."
The dining hall was changed to
a cafeteria format much like that
of the Union cafeteria at the be­ginning
of winter quarter. Coupon
books are good at both Terrell and
the Union cafeteria.
Dean of Women Catherine Cater
said, "The girls did not want a
seated dinner and the administra­tion
felt that thecafeteria would be
the answer, but the girls are not
responding to the new plan."
"It was hoped that the girls on
the Hill would eat breakfast and
dinner at Terrell and eat lunch at
the Union," said Rhett Riley, the
University business manager.
"An estimated 200 girls are eating
there each day," he said.
"We are working on some re­ports
of the financial condition of
Terrell," Riley said. "We do know
that for the month of January, the
income of Terrell was $11,275.43
and the expenditures were
$22,400.30. We are losing twice as
much as we are making."
"I am not sure about closing it
down, but I hope that it doesn't get
to that point," Riley said.
Catherine Rush, director of Food
Services, declined to comment
about the financial condition of
Terrell. "I feel it would be a real
shame if we had to close down the
dining hall," she said.
"There are a great number of
girls eating in their rooms," Cat'ir
said. "In a meeting of head resi­dents,
the problems of fire and
electrical blowouts were
discussed. The problem of nutri­tion
was also discussed. We are all
worried that the girls are not
eating properly. The piz>.a
business is thriving, I'm sure."
Cater said she feels "the main
reason that the girls aren't eating
at Terrell is that it is too expen-
"The only thing we can do is to
encourage more people to eat at
• Terrell. If things get worse, I'm a-fraid
it could get to the point that
cooking appliances will be forbid­den
in the rooms. This action
would come before we shut
down Terrell/' she said.
Two Auburn students were arrested by
deputies of the Lee County Sheriffs De­partment
Sunday afternoon following
the seizure of what Lee County Sheriff
Jim Pearson termed the largest single
quantity of suspected marijuana ever
confiscated by his department.
Sheriffs deputies, working in connec­tion
with detectives from the Auburn
Police Department, seized 18 and a half
pounds of suspected marijuana during
the raid, Pearson said.
This haul made a total of 28 and a half
pounds of suspected marijuana con­fiscated
during two weeks of drug raids
in Auburn.
Donald L. Moore, 4LPO, his wife,
Susan L. Moore, 4AC, and Samuel H.
Harrison, 21, 113 S. Dean Road, were ar­rested
and charged with possession of
marijuana and possession of marijuana
for sale. The raid took place at the Moore
residence at 717 E. Thach Avenue.
The three were later released on bail
and the evidence obtained from the raid
will be presented to the May session of
the Lee County Grand Jury for possible
indictments, Pearson said.
The suspected marijuana was found in
the two automobiles belonging to Moore
and Harrison, according to Pearson.
Both cars were impounded by sheriffs
deputies.
These three arrests brought the total
drug-related arrests to 19sincethebegin-ning
of January. The two raids last week
at Campus Inn and Widsor Hall resulted
in the arrest of 11 persons, 10 of which
were Auburn students.

"This is designed to help
the women on Auburn's cam­pus
become aware of the
activities and the possibil­ities
of the job market. Wo­men
can have a successful
career and yet play the
feminine role. With the rights
we have now, we can do a lot,"

April 11 date set
for SGA elections
Elections for Student
Government Association offi­cers
will be April 11, accord­ing
to Mike Smith, secretary
of political affairs.
Voting will be done in pri­vate
booths from 8 a.m. to 4
p.m. Students will vote on a
special scan sheet. Compu­ters
will compile the votes.
Declarations of intent,
available since Monday, must
be turned in by Feb. 22 to the
secretary of the SGA office.
Each candidate must have
his grade point validated by
his dean and must have been
an Auburn student for at least
two quarters. All candidates
must have a 1.00 overall or a
1.5 for the previous quarter.
All candidates must attend
a lecture concerning the fi­nancial
procedures of the Uni­versity
including budgets and
purchasing order Feb. 28 in
308 Commons.
On March 4, candidates
running for senator or an exe­cutive
office will be tested on
the financial lecture and all
candidates will be tested on
the SGA Constitution.
Restrictions for expenses
on campaigning will be as fol­lows:
SGA president, vice presi­dent
and treasurer $400; The
Plainsman and Glom editors,
$200; off-campus senators,
SLY ..STOGIE
; v D Ba, le-r
$125; school officers, school
senators and district sena­tors,
$67.
Adhesive-back campaign
material, or stick-ons, will not
be allowed this year. Cam­paigns
will begin April 3 at 6
p.m. and will end April 10 at
midnight.
The concept, called "phone-center,"
began in June when
South Central Bell installed a
phone jack in each of the 384
units at Caroline Draughon.
After the telephone is plug­ged
into the jack, service
usually starts within hours
that same day.
"Phonecenter" is quicker
and less expensive than the
present system because the
customer does what South
Central Bell servicemen
usually must do.
Under the present tele­phone
installation system a
customer must wait several
days to receive telephone ser­vice
and pay servicemen to in­stall
a telephone. The phone
company also saves time and
money with the new system,
according to a South Central
Bell spokesman.
"The concept is beautiful,"
said R. J. Massingill, Opelika
group manager. W. H. Jones,
office manager for South Cen­tral
Bell in Auburn, agreed
and said he would like to see
the "phonecenter" service ex­tended
throughout the cam­pus.
Jones said the service could
prove to be invaluable to
fraternity houses, dorm­itories
and apartment com­plexes
at Auburn.
"Phonecenter" cannot be
expanded, however, until
South Central Bell's main of­fice
in Birmingham approves
the expansion. The Birming­ham
office is now studying
the results of the Auburn ex­periment.

Panel knocks college training
The job that American uni­versities
are doing in prepar­ing
faculty members for ju­nior
college staffs is inade­quate,
according to Dr. Terry
O'Banion of the University of
Illinois.
O'Banion charged, during a
conference on faculty
development for Alabama's
junior colleges held recently
at Auburn, that universities
are missing the mark to the
point that junior college
administrators throughout
the United States are ques­tioning
dependence on uni­versities
to train the junior
college staffs.
O'Banion said there are rea­sons
for junior college disaf­fection
with university train­ing
of their staff members. Ju­nior
college people believe
that university professors in
charge of teaching future ju­nior
college teachers know no­thing
of the junior college
scene, he said. Second, uni­versities
are primarily
interested in preparing people
for the Ph.D. degree, and that
is proper, "but the lockstep
university curriculum leaves
little room for the professors
to focus on teaching teach­ers,"
he said.
O'Banion contended that
potential junior college
teachers are not receiving
subject matter competence
from their university classes
that they need. Furthermore,
he said he wondered whether
the universities in the heart of
elitism can ever prepare ju­nior
college teachers.
Coupled with that, junior
colleges today are the true
"peoples' colleges," he
claimed. The land grant col­leges
used to be "peoples' col-leges,"
he continued, "but the
land grant colleges, Auburn
included, have sought to form
themselves into the mold of
institutions such as Stan­ford."
A panel of Auburn deans,
Dr. Truman M. Pierce, Educa­tion;
Edward Hobbs, Arts and
Sciences, and George Horton
Jr., Business, answered ques­tions
from junior college
administrators.
O'Banion said the very sur­vival
of the universities may
force them to re-examine their
programs and re develop
many of them to better serve
junior college faculties.
Dean Jack Campbell of Cal­houn
State Junior College in
Decatur said he could agree
with O'Banion's remarks but
that in Alabama, at least, the
situation is somewhat dif­ferent.
"Junior colleges here,"
he said, "receive excellent co­operation
from Auburn
University, a primary source
of junior college faculty
development. We now need to
go further. »

Jails, juries and justice affect AU students
By Pat Fite
Plainsman Staff Writer
A blue light flashes in the rearview mirror. A nervous sen­sation
overcomes the student as he realizes that he may be ar­rested
for driving while intoxicated. He wonders if he can get
out of it and, if not, what will happen.
His thoughts are interrupted by the sharp words, "Get out of
the car." The policeman opens the door and asks the student
how many drinks he has had.
"A few," the student answers.
The policeman escorts him to the blue and gray police car as
garbled voices echo from the radio. The blue light flashes in
the darkness.
Within minutes, the student finds himself at the Lee County
jail, where he is given the balloon test which reveals that he
has had "a few."
The student finds himself in a small cell with one table, one
bench and a toilet against the wall. He wonders just how he
managed to end up in this situation, and if it is actually hap­pening.
This was an actual experience of an Auburn student who
was held at Lee County jail for nine hours until he "sobered
up." The police charged him simply with reckless driving,
rather than with drinking while driving, and held his license
in lieu of bond.
What happens to Auburn students who are arrested, and
what is the criminal justice system in Lee County like when it
applies to Auburn students?
Sgt. Robert Williams,'assistant to Auburn Police Chief Ed­ward
Blodgett, said student arrests for 1972 were, approxi­mately,
less than 10 percent of all arrests by Auburn police
that year.
James C. Pearson, sheriff for Lee County, estimated that
there are 175 students put in the Lee County jail yearly. This is
a small percentage in comparison to the more than 2,000 per­sons
put there each year, he said. Pearson said most student
arrests are attributed to the sale or possession of drugs.
Ron L. Meyers, district attorney for Lee County, stated,
"The criminal justice system in Lee county is the same for stu­dents
as anyone else."
In contrast, a University sophomore charged with selling
marijuana stated, "I thought a person was innocent until
proven guilty. I was treated as though I was guilty from the
time they gave me the warrant. I had believed in the Amer­ican
system of justice. After my trial, I had my doubts."
He explained that he was not at home when the police came
with a warrant for his arrest. When his parents told him of the
warrant, he went to the police station because he knew there
was a mistake, he said.
"They gave me the warrant, so I asked them to get the nar­cotics
agent to make a positive identification because I knew
it was a mistake. This guy came in and identified me."
According to the student, the man who identified him at the
police station was a witness at the trial, where he merely said
that another narcotics agent gave him the marijuana andtold
him that the student had sold it.

The resolution said that a
"substantial amount of busi­ness"
will not be taken away
from the Union snack bar by
returning the sandwich
machines to Haley lounge.
Another proposal which
Gibson said will "set prior­ities
for fraternity seating at
football games" was ap­proved
by the Senate. This
system "provides a better sys­tem
of distribution of the
available seats set aside for
blocks," the proposal reads,
than the present draw sys­tem.
This rotation system will
"assure that a fraternity does
have the best possible block
seating it could some time."
The new plan will not affect
the seating of independents,
according to Gibson.
Changes affecting the
Board of Elections also were
discussed in the Tuesday
night session. The Code of
Laws Committee presented a
list of six changes to Title IV
Elections Law, including the
addition of two members of
the student body at large to be
elected by the Senate.
A vote to rule on the
qualifications of any can­didates
will now require a
specified 5/7's vote of its
members. Before, no such per­centage
number was
stipulated.
Any decision concerning
the contesting of an election
must occur within two weeks
after the election and before
the installation of SGA of­ficers,
a time limit not
specified before.

phtograph at the trial as evidence against me to show I had
long hair and a T-shirt."
He said he was under arrest for two hours before he was
given his rights and then only after he asked for them.
"I was released on $5,000 bond that night," he said.
The student said that during the trial, his lawyer submitted
three motions: that he be tried in juvenile court since he was
17; that he be tried under the youthful offenders act; and that
he be tried in another court in another county.
"The judge was supposed to study them and make a deci­sion.
He read over them once and denied all three. He denied
one motion before it was read completely," the student said.
The student said the jury deliberated for five hours, which
he felt was a long time for a drug case in Lee County. He was
not given a fine and the judge set sentence at 15 years in the
state penitentiary.
His lawyer filed for an appeal, and the judge set appeal
bond at $50,000. Family friends helped post bond, the student
said.
"It was a traumatic experience. I try to put it out of my mind
and live life normally for now. It's just something I can't con­trol,"
said the 17-year-old.
This case is an example of one of the more serious crimes a
student can be charged with. Most student arrests are not for
"rimes this serious.
According to Glenn Dahlen, community relations supervi­sor
for the Auburn city police, Auburn police arrest most stu­dents
on misdemeanors, but there are also some felonies com­mitted
by students. In these cases the students are transfer­red
to Lee County jail.
Dahlen said persons arrested for drinking while driving
must spend a few hours in jail to "sober up."
"This is mainly for their own protection," Dahlen ex­plained.
Dahlen said when people are arrested for marijuana, often
they can be charged with a misdemeanor or a felony.
"The Auburn police department has adopted the policy of
bringing those persons arrested for possession of marijuana
to city court, where it is tried as a misdemeanor and usually
ends up in a suspended sentenceanda fine. This is a reflection
on the general feeling towards marijuana," he said.
Dahlen added that those arrested for selling marijuana are
tried in circuit court, where the penalty is one to 15 years.
The arresting officer files the charges, Dahlen said.
All persons that are arrested are advised of their rights,
Dahlen said. They get their own lawyer, or, if they can't af­ford
one, they can get the public defender, Ted Little, he said.
While awaiting trial, a person can post bond to be released
from jail, Dahlen said. He explained that there are three ways
to post bond, a student can submit a cash bond, a property
bond or call a bonding company.
Various misdemeanors carry various bonds, Dahlen said.
For such acts as trespassing, highway intoxication, va­grancy
and reckwess driving bond is set at $100.
For violation of the beveragecontrol act and improper use
of a drivers license, bond is set at $200. Driving without a li­cense
and possesion of marijuana require bonds of $300.

Auburn wrestlers continue
domination of SEIWA meet
By Larry Gierer
Sports Editor
The Auburn wrestling team
captured its 24th Southeast-em
Intercolligiate Wrestling
Tournament Saturday and
did it with ease.
The Tigers outclassed every
other team in the tournament
and it was obvious on Friday
that Auburn would sew up the
victory on Saturday. The Ti­gers
outscored runner up UT-Chattanooga
by a score of
147-98'/.!.
The Tigers had five indivi­dual
champions with two se­cond
place finishes and a
third place. "We didn't have a
poor performance in the en­tire
tournament," said coach
Virgil Milliron.
For Milliron, who took over
the coaching reins this year
from Arnold 'Swede' Um-bach,
the victory was his first
tournament victory. "Na­turally,
I'm real pleased, it's a
beginning for me, not an
end," said Milliron.
In the finals on Saturday
George Calloway won his
third SEIWA crown in the 190
lb. class. Auburn's other indi­vidual
winners were David
Cathey (his second crown), at
134 lb., Keith Cotronce at 126,
Bob Haun at 142, and Gary
Crews at 167.
A hairy problem
Last week 14 black athletes hastily walked out of the
athletic dorm saying that they might never return. The rea­son
behind this minor revolt was hair. Five days later all the
athletes were back and shaved. Now everything is back to
normal, right? Wrong.
The damage of the walkout has already been done. The
athletes helped give Auburn a bad name which will result in
some tougher recruiting of blacks in the future. Auburn
needs blacks to have a winning programjCoach Jordan needs
them to win, so does Bob Davis and Mel Rosen. Comments
made in haste such as Eddie Johnson's that he would never
"advise any black to come here" can influence a lot of people.
It hurts Auburn not only in the Southern regions but
throughout the entire country. The Associated Press labeled
the incident as one of its five top national stories Friday. NBC
even made repeated calls to the Plainsman office to find out
information.
The question we must ask is, is hair is all that important an
issue to cause that much trouble,and if it is why then did the
athletes come back after so short a time?
The hair rule that affects all the football players has been in
affect since 1951. Coach Jordan said that the suspensions
were made not for the sake of hair, but instead for the purpose
of establishing discipline. Jordan says that every team must
have rules and I can't argue that point.
However, I still don't see the connection between facial hair
and discipline. Look at many of the fine athletes in college
and pro sports and see if it affects them. Surely a mustache
cannot get in your eye.
One pro athlete commented that after the Oakland
Athletics and the Miami Dolphins won their titles, he thought
coaches would want their teams to grow hair. Anyone who
has watched Oklahoma or Notre Dame play football knows it
hasn't hurt them any.
Eddie Johnson has said that the walkout was not a racial
thing. Unfortunately, that is the way it must have looked for
the entire country, since no white felt obliged to participate.
Actually the basketball players walked out in support of the
football players whom they felt were being picked on. Some
did not really want to leave. One freshman caught up in the
whirlwind was Pepto Bolden. "I had to go along with the rest
of them," he said. "But after I thought about it awhile, I
decided I'd better get back down there. I knew I had to get back
because I want to go to school here and play basketball for Au­burn."
Another damage that has been done by the athletes, how­ever,
is to their own cause,. It seems that any chance of the
rule being changed was lost when the athletes gave in so
quick. When you plan a revolt to make change, first you must
have enough people. Then you must hold your ground. Ob­viously
the athletes realized that they had more to lose than
their hair.
The hair rule which started in 1951 will probably be around
for several more years now. Unfortunately when the rule
came in effect the crew cut was in style and the idea of a black
athlete at Auburn was scoffed at. Auburn will someday find
that as the times around us change, so must Auburn.
Cathey a defending SEC
champ whipped Dean Smith
of UT-Chattanooga 5-0, to
capture his second straight
crown. Keith Cotronce deci-sioned
John Poore of Mary-ville
10-3. Cotronce is also a
defending SEC champion.
Before a very slim crowd
Bob Haun came on strong
and decisioned Doug Cun­ningham
of Maryville 9-5 to
win his division.
Bob Crews took his title in a
hard fought battle with Kevin
Lenahan of Sewanee, Crews
is undefeated this year won
the match 7:4.
One of the second place win­ners
for Auburn was Pat
Moore in the 150 lb. division.
In the finals Moore was beat­en
by Laird Carmichael of
Georgia Tech 8-4.
In the heavy weight divi­sion
Dan Borst of Auburn was
pinned by Gerry Anthony of
Morehead. The pin came at
7:12 of the match. Due to in­juries
to his ribs this was only
the second time that Borst
had wrestled this season.
Kenn Butts the only black
Auburn wrestler finished
third in his division. To fi­nish
there, Butts whipped
Stuart Hunter of Morehead 6-
1.
The only two Auburn wrest­lers
who did not place, were
Chris Chaille in the 118 lb.
class and Jim Strain in the
177 lb. class.
Jim Strain had more than
his share of problems during
the tournament. "Against
Jim Morrison of Georgia
Tech, Morrison fell on
Strain's head and knocked
him silly," said Coach Milli­ron.
Milliron forfeited Strains
next match to Steve Wallace
of Eastern Kentucky to pro­tect
Strain. At the time Strain
was wrestling for a possible
third place.
Chaille drew a bye on Fri­day
but lost his first match to
Wade Judkins of UT-Martin
by a fall in 3:30.
Jack Love of Georgia Tech
was voted the outstanding
wrestler in the tournament.
He won three of his four
matches by pins and also won
the trophy that goes, to the
wrestler with the most pins in
the least amount of time.
The Tigers next match is
Saturday night against the
Crimson Tide of Alabama in
Tuscaloosa. The Tide has a
strong team that lost to Au­burn
by just three points ear­lier
in the season.
Alabama returns three SEC
champions in heavyweight
Bob Walker, George Landis at
158 and Mark Matkovich at
118. The Tide also has three
wrestlers that finished se­cond
in the conference. Ac­cording
to Alabama coach
Jim Tanara, "We've got more
quality people this year than
we've ever had.

Tigers on rampage;
whip Cats, Rebels
By Larry Gierer
Sports Editor
The Auburn Tigers are on a
rampage. The team that a few
weeks ago coach Davis said
"might not win another
game" turned giant killer this
weekend and knocked two
teams out of their title hopes,
by whipping Mississippi 85-
75 and Kentucky 99-97.
Saturday against Ole Miss
the Tigers finally put two
good halves together. They
jumped out to a quick lead
against the taller and more
experienced Rebels and led
45-41 at the half.
Although Auburn lost their
lead they regained it with
some great play and finally
regained the lead with about a
minute left and took the win.
The Tigers led by five with
18 seconds remaining, when
Ole Miss coach Robert Jarvis
was hit with three technical
fouls and was thrown out of
the game. Mike Christian hit
three of the foul technical
shots to sew up the victory.
The win gave Auburn re­venge
for a 93-65 loss they had
suffered to the Rebels in Ox­ford.
Leading Auburn to victory
was sophomore Gary Red­ding
with 22 points and 10 re­bounds.
Also aiding in the
winning cause were fresh­man
Eddie Johnson with 20
points and 8 rebounds, Mike
Christian with 10 points and
reserve Glenn Moon with 10.
As big as that win over Ole
Miss was, nothing could com­pare
with the win Monday
night over Kentucky. Auburn
had not beaten the Cats since
they did it by one point back
in 1968. Kentucky had won 12
in a row and have now won 34
of 40 in the series.
"This is the one I really
wanted," said a jubilant Bob
Davis. "They're the real
champions. The people in
Georgetown have been
wondering about what hap­pened
to the little guy who
went to Auburn."
This is the launching game.
Fron now on we are going to
be tough for anyone to beat,
said Davis.
It would be hard to con­vince
Kentucky that Auburn
was not already at that point
going into the game. One
player cannot be singled out
because the victory was truly
a team effort.
But things were not that
easy for Auburn either as it
took them five extra minutes
to finish off the Cats in over­time.
The Tigers jumped out
to an unbelievable 14-0 lead,
hitting eight shots in a row at
one point. Kentucky did not
score in the first four and a
half minutes of the contest as
Auburn's defense proved
stingy.
In the "second half the Ti­gers
saw their 42-32 halftime
lead disappear and fell be­hind
by three points. How­ever,
the Tigers never let the
Wildcats increase their lead.
Auburn kept fighting back
and with hot shooting by both
sides the lead changed sides
16 times.
At the end of regulation
time it was 89-89 and it was a
whole new ballgame. With 16
seconds to go Robert Osberry
hit the winning shot after a
beautiful pass from Mike
Christian.
With one second left Jerry
Hale of Kentucky missed a
one and one foul shot and the
victory was Auburn's.
Pepto Bolden who has been
averaging only 7 points a
game led the Tigers with 31
points and 18 rebounds. Other
high scorers were Eddie John­son
with 26 points, and Mike
Christian with 22. Eighteen
of Christian's points came in
the second half and may have
been the key to victory.
The Tigers cannot ride on
their laurels long for Satur­day
they travel to Gainesville
to meet the Florida Gators
and then return Monday to
host the nationally fifth-ranked
Vanderbilt Com­modores.
The Gators are coming off a
victory over Georgia and beat
Auburn here by ten points.
The Gators, with a 10-10 over­all
record, are led by 6-8 ju­nior
Chip Williamss averag­ing
21 points and 10 re­bounds
a game. Williams was
the most valuable player on
last year's Gator squad.
The Gators also have a
great shooter in sophomore
Gene Shy who is a future All
American hopeful. The
Gators are sixth in con­ference
scoring with a 74.1 per
game average. They are
eighth in defense with a 79.5
average.
When the Tigers return
home they will face the best
team in the conference, Van­derbilt.
The Commodores
have an 18-1 record including
two victories over Alabama.
They beat Auburn by a
humiliating 96-51 score
earlier this year.
Vandy is third in the con­ference,
scoring with 77.6 per
game average and is number
one in total defense allowing
only 65 points per game. They
are also the league, leader in
foul shooting and rank fourth
in rebounding.
The Commodores have few
individual stars but get tre­mendous
team efforts. Vandy
has four players averaging in
double figures and three more
that are averaging more than
eight a game.

Women cagers
host state meet
By Sandy Pierce
Plainsman Sports Writer
This Friday and Saturday,
February 15 and 16, Auburn
University will host the 1974
Alabama Women's Intercol­legiate
Sports Association
(AWISA) State Basketball
Tournament. Auburn's wo­men
cagers have a 9-0 sea­sonal
record in the state.
Tournament games will be
played at the Memorial Col­iseum
and Sports Arena.
This past weekend the A U
women were defeated by West
Georgia, 78-57; Mercer Uni­versity,
ranked 5th in the na­tion,
70-84; and Florida State
University, 53-52.
Coach Susan Nunnelly
commented on these losses,
"We learned an awful lot in
the Georgia tournament. We
hadn't had the type of com­petition
we would have liked.
We've had a few close games,
but most were won by a great
margin. Finally we were real­ly
tested against Mercer."
"In basketball Alabama
just hasn't made it yet. Public
schools don't have inter-scholastic
programs. Next
year we want more out-of-state
competition. It's awful
hard, though, to break into
their 20 game schedule."
Auburn is seeded number
one in the tournament. The
biggest threat for Auburn will
probably be Tuskegee In­stitute.
A U beat them in
overtime in the first game of
the season, and beat them 51-
50 at Tuskegee in the closing
seconds.
Other schools participat­ing
in the tournament are the
University of Alabama, Uni­versity
of Alabama at Bir­mingham,
University of
Montevallo, Samford Uni­versity,
Troy State Universi­ty,
Florence State Universi­ty,
Athens College, Judson
College, Talladega Jr. Col­lege,
Calhoun Jr. College, and
Jeff Davis Jr. College.
On Friday starting at 10
a.m. the schedule has Jeff
Davis vs. Troy St., Samford
vs. F.S.U., Alabama vs. Cal­houn,
and Athens vs. Jud­son.
Auburn, Tuskegee and
Montevallo received first
round byes and each will play
the winner of their bracket on
Friday evening starting at 6
p.m.
Championship semifinals
and consolation semifinals
will be played Saturday morn­ing
beginning at 9:30. Con­solation
finals will be played
at 2 p.m. Finals of the State
Championship will be played
at 4 p.m. Both finals will be
held in the Memorial Colise­um.
In regard to Auburn's
chances in the state tourna­ment
Coach Nunnelly states,
"We're looking forward to
winning it. The tournament
means an awful lot. The girls
have worked real hard and
given 100 per cent. They de­serve
to win the state cham­pionship,
and we feel that
they will."
A couple of injuries may in­hibit
the performance of the
Auburn cagers. Frances Jen-son
and Reita Clanton, who
has been on crutches for 10
days, were both hurt in the re­cent
tournament. Coach Nun­nelly
states, "Frances should
be back full strength, but
Reita may not be 100 per cent.
I think Reita will be ready to
play, but I'm not taking any
chances."
Auburn center Reita Clan-ton
commented on her injury,
"I feel pretty good; it's just my
ankle. Coach Waldrop has
been treating me, and he says
it's a pretty bad sprain. He
tells me to have patience. He's
helped me a lot. I probably
won't get to play much."
Speaking about the upcom­ing
tournament Reita said,
"We ought to run them to
death. We ran well against
Mercer, and the Coliseum is a
longer court. Last year we
were state champions but
that team can't compare to
this one. This team is the best
team we've had in a long
time."
If Auburn wins the state
championship, they will be
entitled to represent the Uni­versity
in the regional cham­pionship
at Rollins College in
Winter Park, FL on March 8
and 9.
Auburn tankers
swim in SIC meet
By Robert Johnston
Plainsman Sports Writer
Auburn swimmers begin
preparing for the S .E .C.
Swimming Meet this week­end
as they travel to Athens
GA to compete in the South­eastern
Intercollegiate
Championship Meet. The
meet will begin Thursday
Feb. 14 and continue through
Saturday.
Swimming Coach Eddie
Reese commented that this
meet could decide who will
represent Auburn at the
S.E.C. meet next month.
"This is a good proving
grounds for the conference
meet because both meets are
set up the same way,"
said.
Reese
In the Southeastern Inter­collegiate
Meet there is no
limit placed on the number of
swimmers and divers a team
can bring, but in the S.E.C.
meet only 18 men are allowed
to represent each school.
Coach Reese said that from
the Tigers' standpoint, this
weekend's meet would be a
great success if Auburn could
capture third place.
Three great swimming
teams, Southern Illinois,
Miami and Alabama , will be
represented along with many

/Marriage not a bad life
for basketballer Bob Bond
By Carolyn Roop
Plainsman Sports Writer
Winter is not the most lea-surely
time of the year for a
basketball player. Everyday
practices and out of town trips
leave very little free time to
the devoted basketballer. But
what if you're married? "It's
not that different," says Bob
Bond, sophomore forward for
the War Eagles.
"As far as studying I do bet­ter.
At Sewell there were al­ways
card games and stuff
and we were always messing
around. Of course my wife has
to be understanding about
practices and road games and
that I have to spend some
time with the guys if we really
want to be a team."
Basketball almost came be­tween
Bond and marriage in
the first place. He didn't know
about the team's trip to Israel
until a few days before they
left and was told that they
would be returning Septem­ber
12. "Coach, I've got a
problem," he told Davis, "I'm
getting married the 8th."
Coach Davis checked around
and found out that someone
had made a mistake and the
return date was the 7th. So
Bond was off to Israel and it
turned out that he returned
just one day before his wed­ding.
Bond came to Auburn while
Bill Lynn was coaching the
War Eagles. He was offered
scholarships to several other
big schools, but came to Au­burn
because the program
was in the rebuilding stage
and he might have a chance
to play as freshman. "I was
hoping that I could look back
one day and say that I had a
part in building up basket­ball
at Auburn. I could have
gone to other schools and just
played for four years, but
here I'd have a chance to help
build something."
You can't talk about basket­ball
without mentioning
Coach Davis. "He just seems
to radiate enthusiasm," says
Bond. "I didn't know it affect­ed
everybody but it sure does
the team."
He agrees that the support
of the students has been tre­mendous
this year. "The en­thusiasm
of the fans is one of
the best things about basket­ball.
It really helps a lot."
The philosophy of Coach
Davis and the team is that
while they may not be battl­ing
for the top ranking in the
conference, they still have
some control over who does
win it.
After victories over Ole
Miss and Kentucky they've
shown what they mean. "We
just want to get off the bot­tom
of the conference this
year, then next year we'll feel
like we're in the running."

With Saint Valentine
Looking in Auburn \ki
The other Saturday night as I was laying around
watching television, three knocks sounded on my
door and I opened it to find a tall bearded fellow wear­ing
a leather toga with little red hearts around the
hem.
"The graces of the Caesar save you, my good man,"
the fellow said. "I want to know what love is." He
wasn't making much sense.
"Who are you?" I asked, a little scared of him and
trying to humor him so that he wouldn't get violent.
"Do you not recognize me? I am Saint Valentine
and my day is this week. I want to know what love is
in Auburn, Alabama in 1974.1 want you to show me."
Oh, I thought. Another one of those dreams you get
when you order anchovies on your 10-inch pepperoni
pizza. Feeling sure this nut in the toga would go away
when morning came, I decided to humor him.
I offered him a chair and motioned toward the tele­vision.
"That's love."
The young lovers were meeting at the end of a boat
dock. They embraced, and because she had used
Certs, he kissed her again. "Be certain with Certs,"
the narrator's voice intoned through the tinny TV
speaker.
"You deceive me!" St. Valentine protested. "That is
not the love for which I died 17 centuries past. That is
just the device of a crafty merchant to sell his wares. I
want to see real love," he said.
"Oh, real love. Why didn't you say so?" I said, hand­ing
him some clothes. "Why don't you get out of your
toga and put these on? I'll show you real love."
Half an hour later, we were seated on the floor of
some freaky friends' apartment. Pungent smoke hung
about the room, veiling everything except the
phosphorescent glow of black-light poster designs.
I pointed to a couple in the corner after our eyes ad­justed
to the dark and the smoke. The were passing
something burning back and forth. "Now that's real
love," I said. "Love means always sharing your
dope."
St. Valentine was angered. "No that is not! Show
me some real love, or I shall leave."
Bill
Wood
"All right, all right," I said, leading him to the door
and out into the gravel driveway. "We'll go over to this
certain fraternity house."
The sounds of a party greeted us several hundred
yards from the scene of the Saturday night blowout. A
few voices talking and laughing stood out over the
throbbing bass and rauccus guitars of a second-rate
blues band.
St. Valentine and I slipped in the back door and I
pointed to a young couple, barely visible in the soft red
light, dancing very close and very slowly. "Now
there's love," I told him. "I know because they're
lavaliered."
"Lavaliered?" he asked.
"Yeah, that means she's wearing that little charm
around her neck. It means that they love each other.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be lavaliered."
"You deceive me yet again," St. Valentine said, sud­denly
sad. "Indeed they appear as did lovers in my
time. But he loves her as the rutting stag loves a doe.
And she loves him as the clinging vine loves a tree.
They use each other; they do not love."
"Well, just what is love?" I asked the saint.
"Love is really caring about someone—caring
where she goes, how she spends her time. . . looking
after her."
At last I knew what St. Valentine was looking for. I
took him to the desk in Dorm IX, where a bevy of fresh­man
girls were signing in on their in-out cards. A
matronly housemother looked over their shoulders.
Smiling broadly, the saint said, "Now that is love."

Our opinion
Hair rules dispute: settled?
Editorials • Commentary-
Page Six Thurs., Feb. 14, 1974
Sure disaster for the Auburn Athletic
Department was avoided this week when
14 black athletes ended their walkout
over hair regulations. Had the black
athletes stayed away, the damage to
black recruiting and the athletic pro­gram
in general would have been severe.
But now that the problem has ended,
temporarily at least, it's time for the
Athletic Department to take a long critic­al
look at the matter of hair regulation.
This has been a recurring problem, with
the last serious incident in 1972.
Why should campus cops carry guns at all?
About a month ago a campus police­man
was cleaning his gun, the story'
goes, and accidentally shot himself in
the foot, although the Campus Security
Office neither verified nor denied the in­cident.
Though the officer was not seriously
injured, I question the practice of having
campus security officers carry guns in
the first place. And not because the of­ficer
accidentally shot himself, but be­cause
there is no need for them at Au­burn.
What good is a gun to a campus police
officer?
Well, let's see. Suppose an officer pulls
a student over and the student attempts
to "leave the scene of the crime" in his
car. The officer drops his citation pad,
whips out his trusty .38 Special and puts
a nifty hole in the car's rear tire. The car
stops, of course, after hitting a tree.
Or maybe a policeman sees a student
attempting to steal a helmet off a motor­cycle
parked near Haley Center. He yells
for the thief to cease and desist, but the
student turns to run. He then puts a small
round hole in the student's back.
But things like this don't happen at
Auburn. So suppose we consider some
actual crimes where an officer might
have found it necessary to use his gun.
A while back there was an attempted
rape on campus. If a policeman had been
there the rapist could have wound up
with a bullet in him if he made any sud­den
moves; or worse, his victim could
have been shot.
Arrest, convict and put the rapist away
for a long time, but don't kill him. They're
sick, but they deserve a fair trial.
Suppose there was a robbery at the
Bursar's office or the check-cashing ser­vice.
Supposedly Auburn's city police,
not campus police, would work the
investigation. I can see that the city
police do need guns, but I'm still not con­vinced
that campus policemen need
them.
How practical would a gun be in stop­ping
a group of fraternity brothers try­ing
to roll an illegal keg of beer into their
fraternity house for a party?
If you have
an opinion
. . . on any of the viewpoints ex­pressed
on these pages of opinion,
why not share it with our readers?
Greg
Lisby
The presence of a policeman with a gun
only increases the chance of someone
getting hurt, or worse. And the Security
Office just doesn't investigate many
cases requiring the use or presence of
guns. It looks into bicycle thefts, trash
can thefts from classroom buildings,
gives parking tickets and that type
thing.
You'll just have to face it; Auburn is a
pretty quiet campus Policemen don't
need to carry guns here. Students don't
have any real violent hate for "pigs" and
cases involving assault, robbery,
reported rape, murder or grand larceny
are almost non-existant.
There is no reason for campus security
officers to carry guns, I'm even willing to
bet that if they didn't wear them for a
week, a month, or even indefinitely, there
wouldn't be a sudden or dramatic in­crease
in crime around here. We're just
not that type of school.
And if there's no need for a policeman
to carry a gun at Auburn, why should he
do it? Surely not to shoot himself in the
foot while cleaning it.
Campus policeman's gun: needed tool or invitation to disaster?

Tappa Kegga Brew
Jock honorary finds AU home
Recently much disappointment has
been expressed because Auburn Univer­sity
failed to receive a Phi Beta Kappa
honorary chapter. I'm surprised that lit­tle
mention has been made of something
far more important to Auburn students
and administration — the chartering of
Tappa Kegga Brew, the national jock
honor society.
As the news services might report it:
AUBURN (TC) — Tappa Kegga Brew, a
national jock honor society, recently ac­cepted
an Auburn University request for
a campus charter according to Mr. War
Eagle, dean of student affairs.
According to a letter from Tappa Keg­ga
Brew, Auburn was one of the few
schools in the nation to receive this dis­tinguished
appointment.
The honor society taps outstanding
jocks in the Sewell Hall area.
"Tappa Kegga Brew will give out­standing
jocks at Auburn the recogni­tion
they deserve and ought to have," he
said. "It will also help those jocks trying
to get a job in pro football or high school
coaching."
War Eagle said that Tappa Kegga
Brew has set up its own criteria for
evaluating institutions that wish to ap­ply
to this elite honor society.
One thing that the society "frowns
upon" according to War Eagle, is a large
number of academic scholarships and a
student government representative of
the majority of the student body, mainly
independents. Needless to say, Auburn
didn't get hung up on these two points.

A guest editorial
By Tom Cox
Wallace's handicap dampers criticism
I hate Arthur Bremer.
Apparently for the sake of becoming
famous, Bremer attempted to kill Gov.
George C. Wallace during the 1972 pres­idential
campaign.
Now Wallace sits in a wheelchair
paralyzed from the waist down. And be­cause
of that I can't say I think he's a rot­ten
governor. People get all edgy when
you attack cripples, so many news­papers
have "pulled their punches" in
political battles with "the Fightin' Little
Judge."
For instance, cartoonists on many
papers are not allowed to draw Wallace
sitting in a wheelchair — they are told to
draw him standing up. They, like me,
don't have the guts to say that the Wal­lace
administration is possibly riddled
with more corruption than Gordon Lid-dy
ever thought of.
Nobody would dare say that a para­lyzed
governor's brother is running the
State of Alabama; it just wouldn't be
right. And how could you call Gerald
Wallace a crook? His brother was shot by
a quack while standing up for Alabama
and now can only sit down.
Only a heartless sadist would dwell
upon the present highway department
scandal. And who was the degenerate
who called Alabama politics a zoo?
The only thing that bothers me about
giving mercy to Wallace is that I doubt
that Wallace himself approves of it. I've
always gotten the impression that the
man had guts. Although I haven't agreed
with anything he's ever done in his life
(except marrying Cornelia), I have al­ways
respected the man for wading in
against "intellectual snobbish" journal­ists
and coming out on top with his down-
Dentlis
Bailey
to-earth wit and charm.
I'm sure Wallace knew the perils of
campaigning for President just as he
knew that public officials are subject to
criticism by the press. If I'm right, he
abhors the "pussyfootin' " attitude of
the press and would probably prefer to
take them on with one hand tied to the
back of his wheelchair.
But even then, I wouldn't have the guts
to say anything bad about him.
War Eagle said that one of Auburn's
strong points was its honors program for
jocks. He stated that we received special
recognition for our Intermediate and Ad­vanced
Foosball and Air Hockey pro­grams.
According to War Eagle, Tappa Kegga
Brew is also interested in living accom­modations.
The society looks to make
sure each room has a telephone, the num­ber
of televisions in Sewell Hall, wall-to-wall
carpeting, etc.
Another significant point for accep­tance
by Tappa Kegga Brew is the pre­sent
number of jock scholarships. The so­ciety
is also interested in a low g.p.a. for
jocks, the financial resources of the athle­tic
department and coaches' salaries.
Tappa Kegga Brew would have given
Auburn a chapter three years ago but
those damn swimmers were having
study halls in the library, thus raising
the overall jock g.p.a. above 1.00, deny
ing Auburn a chapter in 1970.
Cox. 4GPO. is a member of Pi
Sigma Alpha political science
honorary and has worked with the
American Civil Liberties Union's
University chapter. •
At that time, several athletes were
threatened with having their scholar­ships
revoked if they did not get their
haircut to comply with regulations more
strict than ROTC hair regulations of that
time. The athletes gave in under the pres­sure.
The hair rules that have caused trouble
again and again must be thoroughly jus­tified.
We find such justification absent.
Two reasons usually given to justify
the hair rules are that they are necessary
in maintaining discipline and that the
University's athletes should present a
proper public image.
A proper image is, of course, desirable
for Auburn's athletic program — but the
most important factor in our teams' pub­lic
image is whether they win, conduct­ing
themselves as sportsmen. Until hair
gets so long as to interfere with play, its
length has no effect on whether the team
wins. Certainly hair length has no effect
on sportsmanship.
And the damage done to Auburn's
image by the athletes' walkout is greater
than any damage that could result from
athletes wearing their hair as most
young people do.
Enforcing hair rules as part of a dis­cipline
program is unsound, also. Dis­cipline
should be directed toward
developing the athlete, not toward mak­ing
him look like an "All American" boy.
Training rules are a perfect example of
rules that should be enforced strictly;
they lead to development of the athlete.
Hair rules do not.
Coach Ralph "Shug" Jordan's state­ment
that hair rules are being enforced
now as they were in 1951 is particularly
damning of the rules. The whole set of
values our society places on hair length
has changed in the intervening 23 years;
how could hair rules made then possibly
apply today?
The walkout over hair rules is now be­ing
classified as "non-racial," despite the
rumors of out-of-hand racial problems on
athletic teams that swept the campus the
day after the weekend. By the time the
Athletic Department ended its long
silence on the subject, the rumors were
widespread.
The Athletic Department had a chance
to stop these rumors before they spread
by thoroughly explaining the situation
when the walkout started. The depart­ment,
however, blew its opportunity and
suspicion will linger that the dispute was
racially grounded, no matter how strong
the denials are now.
The Athletic Department is still being
less than open about the incident and it's
likely that the truth about what really
happened this week will never be known
outside its Memorial Coliseum offices.
In the future, the Athletic Department
should apply more reasonable hair rules
and should be more open with the public.
This isn't a situation that can be swept
under the carpet simply/ because the dis­pute
was settled this time.
As the situation stands, hair disputes
will recur. And the Athletic Department
might not be so lucky next time.
A brand-nude fad
"Streaking" is a new fad spreading
through campuses across the country.
This activity consists of running across
campus nude, usually from one car to an­other
pick-up car. Although "streakers"
have yet to hit Auburn in any appreci­able
number, there have been scattered
reports in the past of students running
across campus in the buff according to
Campus Security Detective Mona Moore.
With final exams coming up "streak­ing"
may make its entrance to Auburn
campus life as students discover it is a
great way to relieve tension. Oi maybe
the "streakers" are waiting for the warm
spring weather to make their jaunts.
If this is the case, the streakers may
well join the rest of the student body and
invade Chewacla State Park. Imagine a
mass of "streakers" bouncing across the
rocks and bounding up the hillside, elud­ing
frustrated park rangers.
What will happen to the old Auburn
tradition of panty raids if "streaking"
catches on? "Streakers" may even make
an improvement on panty raid strategy
by diverting campus police while the reg­ular
raiders take the girls' dormitories by
storm.
The new fad could even go as far as
having "streakers" invade the annual
Omicron Delta Kappa Cake Race.
Imagine a Phantom "Streaker" with
only a hood similar to clothed phantoms
in previous ODK cake races. And as al­ways
the winner, who might happen to
be a "streaker," gets the victor's kiss
from Miss Auburn.
Stirs the imagination, doesn't it?
Dining halls and nutrition
A lack of customers at Terrell Dining
Hall may force the University to shut it
down, since the dining hall is now spend­ing
twice as much money as it's making.
The dining hall can be operated profit­ably
or on a break-even basis only if more
students eat there. Apparently, the din­ing
ball is losing out to eating places with
better prices or food, and to the increased
tendency of dorm residents to cook and
eat in their rooms.
Dean of Women Katharine Cater has
said that hot plates, popcorn poppers and
miniature skillets will be banned in
dormitory rooms if the situation at Ter­rell
does not improve.
This administrative move would prob­ably
lower the number of dorm res­idents,
instead of increasing use of the
dining hall. Both the dorms and the din­ing
facilities would suffer then. A far bet­ter
way to get the South Dorms' women
residents to eat there would be to improve
food quality and prices.
Many women, no doubt, are not get­ting
proper nutrition because the prices
of on-campus dining halls — at Terrell
and in the Union — are so high. The Uni­versity
has an obligation to insure that
women students who want to maintain a
proper diet have the chance to do so, at
reasonable prices.

Recent strike recalls

Truckin' down county road 17
I'm terrified . . . just terrified.
What little gas there seems to be isn't
getting to the stations and the cars be­cause
of the striking truckers. At times
large parts of North Alabama are out of
gas. Of course, I can see why truckers
would strike and picket . . . with rising
prices on diesel fuel and all.
One trucker complained that his pro­fits
had been cut back U>only a little more
than $400 a week. (That's only $21,000 a
year.) Gee, that is rough! But there's not
much gas and the truckers aren't deliv­ering
it. They're off the road.
Maybe that's not so bad after all.
Trains could start carrying the gas and
we could just leave thetrucksoff the road.
Traffic would move much faster and
smoother, drivers would be able to see a-head
and behind much better, there
would be less pollution . . . and truckers
could picket and shoot each other all they
want to.
Just what kind of persons are these
truckers?
Two friends and I got quite a shocking
answer about two years ago when we
were hitchhiking in the midwest.
The rain was pouring out of the night
when a big-rig trucker pulled to a stop
and picked us up. The thirtyish driver
was a talkative sort of fellow, and one
from which I learned a lot about truck
drivers.
We made introductions as he drove
along the curving wet two-laner. A car
pulled onto the road a bit ahead of us.
"Damn ignorant driver," he yelled, as
he hastened to tailgate the car. "Oh, you
guys don't worry none 'bout tailgating in
this rig. We could smash that !&?$)- to a
flitter and we wouldn't feel nothin'.
Maybe that'll learn 'em to pull out 'n'
fronta somebody."
My companions and I were new to the
world of trucks and had plenty of ques­tions
to ask.
We asked what the rig weighed. "Raht
now I'm 'bout 12,000 pounds over
weight." (Here we were, bearing down on
a 3,000-pound car on a wet curvy road.)
"I'll just take county road 17 and bypass
that weigh station ahead," he bragged at
his cleverness. "I can't afford to get fined
fur bein' that fur over weight."
We were "truckin' " along about 60
(truck limit was 50) so we asked if trucks
ever got tickets. He explained he had nev-
'SGA reaching out'
'Apathy9 should be obsolete
Some words are not acceptable in
polite society. The convention against
the use of these words is understood.
There are also words that have no place
in the area of representative govern­ment.
One such word is apathy. Un­fortunately,
convention against the use
of this word is not universal.
Students are often assailed for not
participating in campus organizations
and college activities. It is argued that
they don't even care about something as
important as their government. Student
Government Association elections
draw about 41 per cent of the student
population. Fewer still show interest in
the day to day functioning of the govern­ment.
Some claim this is apathy.
For those whose interests include cam­pus
politics or student activities, per­haps
many students do seem to be
apathetic. However, a question must be
asked. Does "the average student con­sider
himself apathetic? All of us have in­terests.
The spectrum of those interests is
broad. Who can say which is more im­portant?
And who is to say where apathy
begins?
The SGA is entrusted with the job of
representing the student population. A
certain amount of input is necessary but
there are periods when that input is not
forthcoming. At those times the tempta­tion
to talk of student apathy increases.
This does nothing to solve the problem.
It is not enough for those in govern-

I found the article concerning blacks

believe the only answer to the racial pro­blem
is love and understanding.
Why do we have such a hang-up about
color? To me, a person's heart is more im­portant
than his or her color. Brothers

beat a path to their door. A more realistic
approach is to have the government
reach out to its electorate.
Currently the SGA has several pro­grams
of that nature. Initially, "The
SGA Communique" is designed to keep
the government and its programs before
the college community. Other informa­tion
publications deal with specific areas
of interest.
Several vehicles to encourage student
ideas and opinions have been im­plemented.
The Ombudsman is avail­able

names and phone numbers of represen.-,;

regular basis.
All of these are steps in the right direc­tion.
The desirability of an open govern­ment
is unquestionable. An actively
soliciting government is even better; the
function of representation is advanced.

'AU women's protectors
keep them in Dark Ages9
Last week's column, "Women can't be
trusted," gave me hope that someone else
on this campus feels that Auburn wo­men
should not sit back on their ruffles
and let Mamma Cater run their lives.
When I came to college, I heard that it
would be an experience in freedom and
independence to be away at school.
But I came here only to find that I was
given "privileges" which I had when I
was 14 years old at home. So I came from
relative freedom, based on my parents'
judgment of my maturity, to almost total
restriction, based on the University's
judgment of my inability to cope with all
but the simplest situations.
We finally got voluntary sign-in-out
(with Mommy and Daddy's permission,
of course). But the permission form is
subtly sabotaged with the statement,
"Should any emergency arise, the Head
Resident may be unable to locate the stu­dent."
This statement is plenty of food for
thought to the parent who reads it, and
may well be enough to stop an otherwise
trusting parent from giving his daughter
her rightful privacy.
Two hypocrisies bother me about the
sign-in-out rule:
(1) Does this mean that emergencies
only arise concerning women, and that
men are exempt from such things?
(2) Since one is not required to sign out
until 8 p.m., does this mean that no emer­gencies
can arise before that time?
If Dean Cater and the University are
telling us that their rules are only for our
protection, then I must say that anyone
who believes this is unbelievably gul­lible
and blind, since I have just pointed
out two obvious discrepancies in the
reasoning behind these rules. It's time
our "protectors" started letting us con­tinue
our maturation and broadening of
our experiences rather than trying to
keep us back in the Dark Ages, from
whence these rules originated.

Out-of-state tuition rates
WILD WILUE'S .wit.
More walkouts?
Wild Willie heard a lot of basketball
fans moanin' and groanin' Friday when
those black folks on the team acted like
they might not play any more.
But on Saturday night, the whole team
was out there and we beat Ole Miss.
And on Monday night, they were all
out there and we beat Kentucky (yep,
Kentucky).
Maybe they should have walkouts
more often.
I don't know whether it is true or not,
but I heard out-of-state tuition is going up
again. It's all right to raise tuition if there
is a need, but how do we know when there
is one?
Nobody tells us where all this extra
money goes. I think it's a little unfair. If
Auburn University is going to raise their
rates, then they ought to tell us why.
Personally, I think out-of-state tuition
is unfair, anyway. The one and only rea­son
I came all the way down here from
New Jersey is because it was cheaper to
go to school, even with the out-of-state
tuition.
I don't know if any of this makes any
sense to you, but I would just like to let
you know how I feel. I imagine there are
plenty of other people with the same feel­ing.
Eric Bunn, 1IND
Dr. Floyd Vallery, assistant to the Uni­versity
President, said no increase in out-of-
state tuition is being considered now.
Currently being considered is financing
of the renovation of the Student Health
Center, which — if approved by students
in a referendum — would result in higher
quarterly fees.

Becoming more scared for our lives
each second, we decided to ask how he
learned to drive a truck. "Well, some guys
take a silly Kl' course in rig driving, but I
just larned on my own," he drawled.
"Oh, I got edication an' all. I went up to
six grade. I never liked school much,
though. I larned how to drive this baby in
a couple a days. Them courses don't
teach nothin' no how."
"How long have you been driving a
truck?"
"Oh 'bout three month now, I guess."
All our fears were confirmed. We got off
at the next town.
As we got off, he said, "Sure enjoyed y'
company. I don't pick up hitchers much..
especially them hippies I see all the
time. Nice to see some clean-cut boys for
a change."
But I'd like to see some "clean-cut"
truckers for a change . . . ones that don't
have shotguns in their cabs . . . that
aren't in picket lines. . . and that don't
shoot another trucker because he does
his job and goes through a picket line.

'Trailers need fire protection
Recently, a trailer burned to the
ground, if you will. Fortunately there
was no one at home. A pleading call was
given to the Auburn Fire Department.
The Auburn Fire Department refused to
come to the scene.
They legally didn't have to worry
about fires outside the city. Un­fortunately,
the city limits joined Gentil-ly
Trailer Park but did not include Gen-tilly
because this would cause the in­surance
rate to increase, or so I was told.
So, the Notasulga Fire Department, 20
to 30 miles away, came to the fire even
though they didn't have to. They did
what was reasonable and morally
expected of them. Is this too much?
It's funny how Gentilly and Mt.
Vernon have police protection provided
by the city but not fire protection. If you
will, let the music get a little loud out here

Penicillium is a fungus
This is to correct a mistake in an edi­torial
of The Plainsman of last week. The
editorial " . . . and water" is inaccurate
in the last paragraph. Specifically, "the
bacteria who are bothering us now are
members of the same family that
brought us penicillin." The mistake is
that penicillin is derived from Penicil­lium,
which is a fungus.
To be correct, Penicillium belongs to
the class of fungi called Fungi Imper-fecti.
Fungi are classified by their sexual
characteristics, Fungi Imperfecti do not
reproduce1 sexually- but asexually -orat
least the sexual states have not yet been
discovered.
Other members of this family, Penicil­lium
roquefortti and Penicillium
Camemberttii give the cheeses Roque­fort
and Camembert their flavor. This
was a simple mistake which could have
been avoided by checking any plant biol­ogy
text; (Biology of Plants—BI102).

place even though he or she lost his or her

the rescue but the Auburn police?
It seems that the Auburn student, most
of the time, winds up on the blunt end of
things. The City of Auburn must realize
that the livelihood of this little town has
been and always will be the Auburn stu­dent.
Where would the bread for all the
merchants and businessmen in Auburn
come from if it were not for the Auburn
student and the University?
I think the Auburn City Council should
take another look at their fire protection
laws which are leaving thousands un­protected
within the realm of the city and
add a little humanity and common sense
to them.
I am sure if it were necessary thatares-ident
in our situation would be more than
glad to pay a fee if the fire truck would
come when needed. Maybe this would cut
out the needless burning of homes within
the realm of the city.
Just think what if someone had been
asleep in that trailer that burned be­cause
the fire department refused to
come? From the looks of that trailer, I
don't think that he or she would be with
us any longer! How about it, City Coun­cil?

CARS THAT IMPRESSED GIRLS IN THE '50'S STILL WORK TODAY
. . . From left Leah Whatley, 4ID, and Charles Wiederhold, 4AR, date in 1957 "Chevy"
Emphasis on cars in dating
causes students to improvise
By Christy Hudgins
Asst. Features Editor
The 1950s-an age of chromed fenders,
flat-tops and bobby socks, when cars
were king and women their loyal sub­jects.
But whatever happened to the guys
without a "boss" set of wheels?
It's 1950, and like most guys in Au­burn
you don't have a car. Of course that
usually doesn't make much difference,
except tonight you have a date with a
super-classy chick. What do you do? Only
one guy in your fraternity has a car, and
he wants to impress his date by driving a
convertible. The only thing left to do is to
hop on down to Chiefs You Drive It and
split the $5 fee with your best friend.
One of your buddies, Lamar Ware, a
former Student Government Associa­tion
president, has another solution to
the dilemma.. Since his best friend's
father owns Bill Ham Cleaners, he has
easy access to the laundry truck. "You
know," he said, "there is a lot of room and
a mattress." Ware is still not sure
whether the truck's owner knew that he
is driving it.
Even though most men at Auburn now
have cars, the spirit of the '50s is still-very
much alive. Some girls are still im­pressed
by cars while others enjoy dat­ing
whether in a truck or a Cadillac.
The 1950s live on at least for Mary Put-man,
2GPG. She dates a boy who drives a
rebuilt '55 Chevrolet, which Putman's
friends affectionately call the snowmo­bile.
Putman stated that the car had no in­fluence
on their romance. "In fact," she
said, "we can't talk because it is so loud,
and I can't sit near him because his gear
shift is 10 feet tall. I have to sit next to the
door to hold on since there's a hole in the
floor." Putman laughingly agreed that
she dated him only for his car. When he
purchases a new one this summer she in­tends
to buy the "Chevy."
Putman stated that the car had two ad­vantages
which she particularly liked.
The loudness of the engine saves time
since her date doesn't have to phone her
room in the dorm. She hears him com­ing.
"Sometimes," she said, "this isn't an
advantage since everyone can hear me
coming home late at night." According to
Putman, the clutch provides a source of
exercise. "You should see the muscles it
has built in my date's left leg. I have to
use both feet to press it down."
The majority of Auburn women inter­viewed
were generally disinterested in
the kind of car their dates drove. Ann Al-
'American Grafitti' creates
memories of early '60's
By Diane Uthlaut
Plainsman Staff Writer
Many things evoke nostalgia—an old
picture album, a forgotten song, high
school yearbooks, or even the phrase,
"Do you remember? . . ." Old movies
bring back memories, but "American
Grafitti" is a new movie designed
expressly to cause nostalgia.
Set in 1962,.in an America still making
the transition from Rock 'n' Roll to Rock,
"American Grafitti" evokes that era so
effectively that one is filled with instant
nostalgia and a sometimes dire recog­nition
of those times.
Although rather subtle, the central
figure is Wolfman Jack, the local disc
jockey, whose comments to the music
that is played throughout binds the
divergent characters and events
together. Such oldies as "Barbara
Anne," "Teen Angel," "Love Potion No.
9," "At the Hop," and "Smoke Gets in
Your Eyes" bring audible recognition
from the audience and there are always a
few who can't resist singing
along—usually someone right behind
you-*if not you yourself.
The film takes a look at the interplay
between characters on just one night, but
it shows much more — their ambitions
and thoughts, and their whole life style
in reaction to the times. All of the char­acters
change as a result of the night;
they grow closer, older, or simply more
aware.
"American Grafitti" has been running
for three weeks and will run for another,
according to A.T. Vinson, manager of the
Plaza Theater. He said that there has
been a large crowd every night, "And
with all the people that have come to see
it, I haven't heard one say that he didn't
like it." Vinson added that, in fact, some
came back as many as four or five times.
When asked what drew the crowds,
Vinson replied, "Nostalgia brings a lot of
young adults who can remember the
early sixties and relate to'the atmos­phere
and music. But we've had a sur­prising
amoung of high school kids to
whom none of this is familiar. The music
on the album that's out is a drawing card,
but one of the main points of the movie's
attraction is its light, entertaining
quality that everyone enjoys."
There are varied reactions to
"American Grafitti" among Auburn stu­dents.
Some, not knowing what to expect,
thoroughly enjoyed it, but others who
had the movie built up for them by those
who had seen it were not as impressed.
Comments ranged from, "I'd heard so
much about ''American Grafitti," I
expected to be let down, but it was great!"
said Jo Ann Hayes, 3FM, to "Every­one
raved about it so much, I was
expecting something really special, but
although it was good, it wasn't that
good," commented Valli Todd, 1SED.
When asked if she had been to see the
show yet, Kaye Lancaster, 3EED,
replied, "No, but I'm dying to go—I've
heard so much about it—just as soon as I
can find time and somebody to go with!"
Many people have agreed that "Ameri­can
Grafitti" is a very apt portrayal of a
time still very much alive in memories
today, but it still has the ability to draw
those who have nothing in common with
the period with its music and excellent
characterizations.
Students bop to '50's tunes;
Rock'n'Roll parties bit campus
By Christy Hudgins
Asst. Features Editor
"Nostalgia," says Francis Donaldson,
3EED, "lets people be little again. It's
just an excuse to get dressed up and be a
kid." Recently, many of Auburn's parties
have proven to be a rollicksome source of
escape and entertainment.
Dressing up is an experience many stu­dents
won't forget—especially after
washing their hair 11 times to remove the
petroleum jelly. Girls become ecstatic
when their boyfriends let them wear
their high school letter sweaters and
rings. Ponytails are also popular, es­pecially
with plastic hairband "that
crunch around your head." Most men
wear flood-water jeans and T-shirts with
cigarettes rolled up in their sleeves. Sun­glasses
and slicked hair complete their
impressive image.
Finding suitable apparel could be diffi­cult,
but Alpha Tau Omega fraternity
found an easy solution to this dilemma at
the Goodwill Store. There they pur­chased
straight-legged pants and
baggies for their '50s party. Later, thev
showed off their duds while cruising in
their hopped up cars. (They had stuffed
their hoods with beer cans in order to ride
higher.)
According to Steve Hancock, 4PIR,
president, of ATO, the party was the best
party they had had in five years. He was
especially impressed by the skits and the
"Cadillacs," a '50s band which they
hired.
Girls, too, are experiencing the spirit of
the 1950s. Recently, Delta Zeta sorority
had a '50s party for its members—com­plete
with everything from hot dogs to
"treacherous" gangs.
lison, 4PM, said that sometimes fancy
cars scared her. "This one guy," she said,
"drove up in a Lincoln Continental that
was long and black with black leather
interior and swivel seats. I was so
suspicious that I told him to go home."

No ifs, ands, or butts about it, "streak­ing"
has replaced panty raids, telephone
booth cramming, gold fish swallowing,
and even dryer rides in the local laun-drymat
on most college campuses nowa­days.
Running across the campus in the '
nude, usually from one car to another
pick-up car, has spread like greased
lightening from the sunny California
coast to Maryland.
One Los Angeles radio station has
adopted "streaker alerts" to warn the
townspeople who don't crave the sight of
flashing flesh weaving between their
cars at noon hour to stay inside. Univer­sity
of Maryland officials suspended one
student from school, not for participat­ing
in a 125 body coeducational streak,
but for hitting a campus policeman who
had the audacity to ask that the youth
put on some clothes.
Boldness is not the only qualification
for "streaking." Quickness, physucally
and mentally, is a number one "asset."
"Streakers" run from a rest room with­out
their clothes, run across town or over
the campus and-then hop right into a get­away
car. Why? Just to see if it can be
done and watch, if time allows, the horri­fied
expressions on the faces of people
who happen to be on the risque route.
Auburn — maybe the students are just
waiting for spring to follow the fleshy fad
that's already made it to the sunny state
just below it. Lots of jokes, general know­ledge
of the new fad and even rumors
seem to hint that Auburn students might
eventually start streaking. "I heard that
one gijy streaked across the Haley Cen­ter
concourse to Commons," one Auburn
student remarked, admitting no further
knowledge of the incident.
THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN V
Just where Auburn streakers would
streak is questionable. Maybe they'd
choose a route over the Social Center
lawn, or one by the Campus Police Sta­tion,
through the quad dorms, or over
Pres. Harry M.'s lawn . . . but just where
the streakers would strike is still strictly
a bare issue.

Hair styles to change,
local barbers say
—David Brown
BUSINESS IS SLOW IN AUBURN BARBERSHOPS THESE DAYS
. . . Local barbers see increase as styles change
To ietter sweaters, argyie socks I
Area salesmen see '50's
By Christy Hudgins
Asst. Features Editor
Ahh, for the days of the flat top! It can
generally be agreed upon that being a
barber at Auburn University might be a
bit discouraging. Auburn's barbers, how­ever,
are hopeful that the fifties move­ment
will benefit their business.
Walter Hill of Bill's Barbershop
believes that men's hairstyles are des­tined
to change within the next few
years. Already styles are changing in
other parts of the country/According to
Hill, it usually takes around two years for
Alabama to accept such new trends.
Hill does not expect a drastic change in
hair styling. Presently, he believes that
most men still want longhair. "If you cut
most of their hair off," he said, "they'd
feel like their whole head was gone."
What he does expect is a cut somewhere
near the middle of the ear. After this sty le
is generally accepted, he envisions the
revival of the Ivy League cut. Such a cut
is short in back, yet it can be parted or
combed over in front.
Hill cites the pendulum movement of
styles as - reason for belief in style
changes. During his lifetime he has seen
hairstyles change drastically three
times. He stated that the flat top was at
a peak for approximately five years, and
that most hairstyles have a similar peak.
Presently, however, business is down
for the barbershops. During the past year
two shops in Auburn have gone out of
business entirely. Hill employed five bar­bers
during the fifties. Now there are
only two men. They still serve as many
customers as before, but the people come
less frequently. Hill estimated that 75 per
cent of the younger generation do not
even get their hair cut in a shop. "Most
haircuts," he said, "are done by friends,
since almost anyone can trim hair."
"It's kind of sad," said Kim Bryant,
3BI, "to walk oast the barbershops here,
and see the barbers just sitting in their
chairs watching people go by. Maybe
curls will become popular for guys and
then barbers would have more business."

It's time to dig through theold trunk in

Dad's letter sweater. According to Au­burn's

appeal to femininity.
While reminiscing over pictures oi
class beauties of the fifties, Charles A.

industry. He was especially impressed by
the revival of the dress as a vital part of
women's wardrobes. He stated that in
clothing shows at Dallas and Atlanta,
dress ensembles were heralded as
fashion's best feature this year.
The majority of clothing manufac­turers
are now lowering their prices on
dresses in order to take full advantage of
this trend. Most of these dresses are de­signed
with emphasis on simplicity and
the look of the fifties. DeBardeleben was
. pleased with the present success of the
dress in fashion. He attributed the large
demand for dresses to "women's love of
innovation and a new found identity
which many women discovered in a
dress."
DeBardeleben believes that "there is
definitely a revival back toward fashions
of the fifties — t>ack to chanel jackets,
knee-knockers and one-piece bathing
suits."
He has had the most success, how­ever,
with tops and halter dresses. This
spring will mark the return of a feminine
blouse trimmed with lace called a cami­sole.
"Footware is also becoming more
feminine with the return of the fifties,"
DeBardeleben said. Clogs are very
popular and flats are beginning to gain
appeal.
Colorful materials, belts and
scarves add the finishing touch to this
resurrection of the fifties. Lee Foster,
manager of the University Shop, spoke
of the influence of the fifties on men's
styles. Some distinctive features which
he mentioned were the return of loafers
and wingtip shoes and the popular pin­stripe
suit. V-necked sweaters arid but-tondown
collars along with country and
western shirts are also reminiscent of the
fifties.
Foster believes that all men's styles are
preceded by those of women. Because of
the recent trend toward stovepipe legs
and the elimination of cuffs on women's
pants, he believes a similar trend will oc­cur
in men's wear.
Cardigan sweaters with roll-over col­lars
and stitched jeans are some of Fos­ter's
best selling products. Argyie socks,
however, present* the greatest demand.
Foster is unable to keep these in stock.
Jewelry of the fifties has alsoreturned,
according to Lamar Ware of Ware's
Jewelry. Ware recalled the time when
every suit had a watchpocket, and al­most
every man had a pocketwatch. He
believes that the day of the pocketwatch
is back for both women and men. Wo­men
now wear the watches as necklaces
or on chatalines. Both chains and chata-lines
are distinctive of the jewelry of the
fifties, Ware said. Another popular piece
of jewelry is the ankle chain. These have
become so popular that Ware even sells
some with diamond settings.
Most of Auburn's clothing dealers be­lieve
that nostalgia is based on more

AU engineers schedule open house
A glimpse into the world of
engineering will be offered
later this month when the
University's School of Engi­neering
stages its annual E-Day.
The day-long open house is
scheduled for Feb. 22 and
"promises to have something
for everyone," according to
Dean VincentS. Haneman. E-Day
will highlight several
days of activity during Na­tional
Engineers Week, Feb.
17-23.
Alvah Barron, president of
Barron-ASE, Inc., engineers
and manufacturers, will
speak on the energy crisis at a
dinner for faculty, students
and guests.
Seven major laboratories
will be open at E-Day, spon­sored
by Auburn, Tuskegee
Institute, the Alabama So- .
ciety of Professional Engi­neers
and the National So­ciety
of Professional Engi­neers.
Faculty members and
students will beon hand to ex­plain
some of the tools of the
trade, and several industries
from the state and Southeast
have been invited to exhibit.
Special tours will be con­ducted
through the labs and
visitors can expect to see mo­dern
technology at work,
Haneman said.
The Department of Me­chanical
Engineering will
demonstrate lasers, electron
Angela Davis
speaks at UA
Black Week
As part of Black Heritage
Week, Angela Y. Davis will
speak tonight on the Univer­sity
of Alabama campus. The
subject of her talk will be "The
Role of Blacks in the Amer­ican
Political System."
Davis' scheduled ap­pearance
on campus has
raised some protest from stu­dents
and administrators on
the Alabama campus.
Black Heritage Week is be­ing
celebrated nationally and
is designed to highlight the
historical and cultural con­tributions
of black people.
microscopes and holo­graphy
(three-dimensional
photography). Wind tunnels
will be in operation in the
Department of Aerospace En­gineering.
Several new computer sys­tems,
utilized by the depart­ments
of Electrical and In­dustrial
Engineering, will be
manned. Both digital and
analog computers will be in
operation as well as one
which plays the Auburn fight
song.
A prototype "solar collec­tor,"
designed last quarter by
freshmen engineering stu­dents,
also will be on display.
The unit, which costs less
than $100 to build, was
created to provide a cheap
source of heating and cooling
for a family of four.
Such a collector would be
mounted on the roof of a
house and supply hot water.
During inclement weather, a
more conventional gas or elec­tric
system would
automatically take over.
Tours of the Auburn-Opeli-ka
Airport, operated by the
University, will be offered for
those interested in aviation
management.
Other sighis will include
the Department of Civil En­gineering's
water pollution
labs, the cracking towers in
the Chemical Engineering
labs and the massive looms
operating in Textile Engi­neering.
Other displays have
been prepared by student
honoraries within the school.
Haley Center egg drop
to end Engineer Week
The Auburn Student Engi­neers'
Council is going to give
. away $30 to three people just
to drop eggs from Haley Cen­ter.
There's only one catch,
though; the eggs can't break.
Sound crazy? Well, its not.
Its just part of the activities
planned for the campus in
connection with National En­gineers'
Week, Feb. 1 7 - 2 2 .
The egg drop, called the
"Impact Design" contest, is
planned for 3:30p.m., Feb. 22.
A variation of the old egg-throw
game where two play­ers
begin pitching an egg
stepping further apart, con­testants
will be allowed to
build a package for the egg to
safeguard its impact.
Packaging materials will be
available in kit form 30
minutes before the contest
and contestants will build
their containers at that time.
Each kit will contain ma­terials
such as foam rubber,
tape, rubber bands, wire,
cardboard and string.
At the end of the half hour,
the packaging entries, com­plete
with an egg as cargo,
will be dropped several feet to
the ground. The survivors of
the first impact will be drop­ped
from a still higher level
until only one entry remains.
The entry surviving the high­est
fall will receive a $15 first
place prize, the second high­est
a $10 prize and the third a
$5 prize,
Jim Olson, contest co­ordinator,
said, "The egg
must not be reinforced or
strengthened in any way and
must be accessible inside the
package for inspection by the
judges." Minor adjustments
to entries will be allowed dur­ing
the, contest, he said.
Another contest is set at 4
p.m. Thursday in 203 Auburn
Union which should tempt
many an engineer. This
"Structures" contest will of­fer
students a chance to ap­ply
their classroom know­ledge
in hopes of winning the
$15 first prize.
Pete Quintero, contest coor­dinator,
said one of the pri­mary
objectives of the con­test
is "to test the engineer­ing
ingenuity of the stu­dents."
Contestants will be asked to
construct a small cantilever
bean from a prepared kit of
materials. Their model will be
subjected to stress by attach­ing
weights to one end until it
bre'aks. The model enduring
the most stress will be pro­claimed
the winner. A $10 se­cond
prize and $5 third place
prize also will be given.
A "Paper Airplane" con­test
Wednesday will be the
first of the Engineers' Week
activities. Entries will be
judged on distance traveled
and the time in the air. A
special category judged only
on appearance also has been
included. Entry fees for this
contest to be held at 7 p.m. in
the Student Activities will be
25 cents. Prizes will be $5 for
first place, $3 for second and
$1 for third place in each
event.
Kits for the Structures con­test
are available for $1.25 at
the Dean's Office, School of
Engineering, Ramsay Hall.
Registration for the Impact
Design contest is in 304 Ram­say
Hall; a $1 entry fee is re­quired.
Need a lift?
—Brent Anderson
This forklift was sent to Langdon Hall
to help with some wire stringing but ran
into some problems of its own. Much to
the dismay of the personnel from Build­ings
and Grounds, the forklift itself
needed a lift when it sank intothedirt.lt
will take more than a shovel and crow­bar
to get this heavy bitof machinery out
of its predicament.
Opelika pregnant teacher rule revised
The Opelika School Board
revised its maternity leave
policy for teachers at its Mon­day
meeting, according to
Clyde M. Zeanah, superin­tendent
of Opelika schools.
The revision calls for each
case to be handled on an indi­vidual
basis in compliance
with a recent U.S. Supreme
Court ruling.
The former policy required
a teacher to take a leave of ab­sence
upon reaching ' the
seventh month of pregnancy,
he said. Pregnancy leave or
any other leave of absence
from the Opelika City School
System is still without pay
unless it is sick leave, he said.
If a case involved a parti­cular
teacher's health en-'
dangerment, a note from her
physician will be requested,
he noted.
The board. took action on
the leave policy following a
suit filed in a Montgomery

federal court Feb. 5 by Janet
Scott, a first grade teacher at
Carver Elementary School in
Opelika. Scott was the first to
challenge maternity leave po­licies
in Alabama school sys-texs
sunce the U.S. Supreme
court ruling in mid-January.
Scott is seeking to expand
the time she is allowed to
teach to beyond her seventh
month of pregnancy, she said.
She said she wanted to conti­nue
teaching through March
instead of quitting in mid-
February, as the old policy
would have required.
In the suit she said she
thought it would be in the best
interest of her students.
Zeanah said there were sev­eral
teachers in the school
system in this same situation
and he plans to meet with all
of them as soon as possible.
Scott said that she would
prefer to see the new policy in
writing before making a firm
commitment as to whether or
not to drop the suit, accord­ing

Amtrak puts luxury, class in train travel
By Jim Lester
Plainsman Staff Writer
"Tracks are Back" is the
slogan for Amtrak trains
these days, and the rising
price of gasoline and falling
speed limits are making it
easy to prove. I saw evidence
of the train's comeback last.
weekend when I took the
Floridian, Amtrak's Miami to
Chicago run, from Mont­gomery's
Union Station to
Louisville, KY.
Vet academy
seminar hosts
Cornell prof
"Small Animal Dermatolo­gy"
will be the theme of a Feb.
16-17 seminar sponsored by
Alabama Academy of Veter­inary
Practice and hosted by
the School of Veterinary
Medicine at the All-Amer-ican
Inn.
The seminar wilL include
sessions on all types of bac­terial
and parasitic diseases
and allergic conditions that
could prove harmful to small
animals.
Dr. Robert Kirk, professor
and chairman of the Depart­ment
of Small Animal Medi­cine
and Surgery at Cornell
University, will be guest
speaker at the two-day ses­sion.
Kirk is also the director of
the Small Animal Clinic at
the New York State Veteri­nary
College. He has author­ed
chapters in several books
and co-authored two books,
"Small Animal Dermatolo­gy"
and "Current Therapy."
Auburn spirit is:
Amtrak, the trade name of
the National Railway Pas­senger
Corporation, came
into existence by an Act of
Congress in 1971. After a
rough beginning it is rapidly
gathering public support and
more important, business.
Much of the business is a
result of the energy crisis and
fuel shortages which have
caused many people to aban­don
their cars and take to the
trains.
Since the train I was on
makes a complete trip from
Chicago to Miami and the re­turn
route, there were severed
families riding with me who
were either heading for a Flor­ida
vacation or returning sun­tanned.
Most of the families on the
train had traveled on Amtrak
as a means of escaping the
monotony of driving for three
days. As an added bonus to
these vacationing families,
Amtrak provided a car free of
charge at the point of their
destination. This is Amtrak's
Week of Wheels option avail­able
to any family of four or
three adults traveling to
specified vacation locations.
My trip from Montgomery
to Louisville took a pleasant
nine hours and cost $18 one
way or $36 for the 1,000 mile
round trip. Since my other al­ternative
had been to drive
my car and subject myself to
high priced, scarce gasoline
and 55 m.p.h. speed limits, the
Amtrak ride seemed a real
bargain.
The traveling passenger on
Amtrak has a variety of
coaches to sit in and talk with
other passengers, consume
his favorite beverage, read,
take a nap or just admire the
passing scenery.

The one-day passenger,
such as myself, has as one of
his choices the standard pas­senger
coach, which had been
completely remodeled with re­clining
seats and resembled
an airliner more than a train.
This coach reminded me of a
double decker Vista Cruiser
with a plexiglass dome and a
scenic view of the Southern
Countryside.
For overnight trips, private
sleeping compartments de­signed
for two are available.
The compartments, which
