Waller, Wiley meet in presidential runoff today
By Mike Kenopke
Features Editor
A runoff for Student Government
Association president will be held today
between Mike Waller, 3GPG, and John
Wiley, 3GPG. Neither candidate received
the required 40 per cent of the 5,645
ballots cast for SGA president Thurs­day.
Polls for the runoff will be open from 9
a.m. to 3 p.m. This differs from the 8 a.m.
to 4 p.m. polling times in Thursday's elec­tion.
All polling locations in Thursday's
elections will be open today except the
Forestry Building and the Shop Build­ing.
Wiley was the leader in the presiden­tial
balloting with 1,598 votes compared
to Waller's second place total of 1,439
votes. Other presidential candidates'
totals were Ric Sellers with 1,331 votes,
John Davis with 717 votes, and Jap
Black with 560 votes. Waller said Thurs­day
night, "We know what we have got to
do and we are going to do it. We are going
to win."
Wiley said, "We are proud of the voter
turnout. We polled more than we
expected and we are really proud that
everyone turned out. I'm glad everyone
realized we weren't wheeler dealers, just
regular people."
Sellers, the third place candidate,
called for a recount Thursday night.
Sellers said, "If the recount does not
come in my favor, I am supporting Wiley
over Waller." Mike Smith, secretary of
political affairs, said a recount was being
held Thursday night, buthedoubted that
it would change any of the results.
The recount continued early this morn­ing
with Sellers and representatives of
WALLER
the other presidential candidates pre­sent.
The scan sheets were taken to the
computer center about 11 p.m. for a re­count
of the presidential vote totals.
Black said, "I am supporting John
Wiley. I am very honored to be in a posi­tion
for SGA candidacy. I have enjoyed
serving in the Student Senate. I feel like
Wiley is on our level. I've worked with
John and I feel he has done the most for
Auburn."
Davis said he was supporting no candi­date.
He said he ran on a "few obvious
issues, the most important of which is the
election procedure. My followers were
interested in the wastefulness of the cam­paign
. procedure. They voted for the
issues, not me."
Both candidates summarized their
stands on the issues in statements to The
Plainsman submitted before cam­paigns.
Waller stated, "The office of president
of the student body should have as its
WILEY
first responsibility that of being a recep­tive
and responsive servant to all
Auburn students. With student support
on the spring referendum, I will work
first towards completing this major pro­ject
which will expand the present
Health Center facilities and improve
health care. Emphasis will also be placed
upon the SGA public relations efforts
through localized encounter sessions
both to give information and to gain bet­ter
insight into student problems.
"Entertainment. Although Auburn
entertainment is much improved, I hope
to work towards better scheduling of con­certs
and to place a special emphasis on
having more free street dances and free
Sunday afterhoonconcerts.
''In the area of Student Welfare, more
efficient means of maintenance of on-campus
dorms is essential.. Lowering
food prices in the Union Building cafe­teria
will be explored as well as pro­viding
a five-cent Xerox service within
the confines of the Union. I plan to make
a special' lobbying effort against
raising utilities' deposits and installa­tion
fees. Finally, I will encourage the
administration to channel University
Bookstore profits back into such pro­grams
as recreational services."
Wiley stated, "Every year the same
problems continue to affect Auburn stu­dents.
Although some progress has been
made toward finding some solution, if I
am elected I will set to work at once to put
these recurring problems to rest.
"Women's rules have been discussed
long enough. It is time to find a solution
acceptable to all concerned; and a solu­tion
can be found.
1 The Health Center must be expanded
and improved to serve the needs of a stu­dent
population of nearly 15,000; if at all
possible without a rise in student fees.
"There is still no convenient way for
students to cash checks on weekends; a
service which I believe the University
could provide. We still have a parking
problem..
"Entertainment still needs to be
improved as does the overall program of
Student Activities.
"As competition for jobs increases, the
SGA should use its influence to ever push
for higher academic standards for
Auburn University.
"And above all, the SGA should move
back into touch .with the Auburn student
in order to better serve its function as the
voice of the student body."
Waller stated his qualifications as
administrative vice .president of the
SGA, Omicron Delta Kappa honorary
fraternity, f All-Campus Fund Drive
chairman, jurisprudence committee
member, and special SGA committee on
women's rights member.
Wiley stated his qualifications as SGA
1973-74 secretary of academic affairs,
Student Welfare and Consumer Rela­tions
Committee, University Academic
Honesty Committee member, Plains-maf—
official hosts of Auburn Univer­sity,
and Student Health Center Health
Committee member.
John Decker, 3LEH, running unop­posed
for SGA vice president, polled
4,528- votes.
In his statement Decker said: "The pri­mary
function of vice presudent is to
direct senate committees to study and
resolve campus problems."
Bill Abernathy, ME, running unop­posed
for SGA treasurer, polled 4,670
votes.
"In keeping with student awareness, I
intend to inform as many of you as possi­ble,
during campaigns, about the refer­endum
concerning the Student Health
Center and the proposed constitutional
changes, both of which may drastically
affect your life here at Auburn," Aber­nathy
said before campaigns.
Both presidential candidates had
stressed increasing student involve­ment
in student government at a Mon­day
meeting of Omicron Delta Kappa
honorary.
Waller said it would be unrealistic to
expect the entire student body to get
involved with SGA, since some students
have different priorities. He said if
elected he would .appoint a person in the.
Executive Cabinet to orient volunteer
workers. i
Wiley said SGA would have to change
its attitude to promote involvement. He
said the SGA couldn't be an elite group
and would have to become "the shep­herd,
not the coolest sheep in the flock."

Overwhelmingly
Fee increase voted for Health Center
By Rheta Grimsley
News Editor
An overwhelming majority of 73.1 per
cent of the voters elected to improve the
present level of services provided at
Drake Student Health Center by in­creasing
the student health fee to $15 per
quarter, thus increasing tuition by $7.75
a quarter if approved by the administra­tion.
Voters to improve services totaled
3,113; voters to maintain the present
level of services by increasing the health
fee to $10 per quarter or a $2.75 fee in­crease,
totaled 698; and 653 students
voted to leave the health fee the same,
thus decreasing the services offered now.
"I'm very pleasantly surprised," said
Garth L. Jarvis, .director of the Health
Center." I guess President Philpott ought
to see that as pretty conclusive of how
students feel about it. I think I was the
only one that was pessimistic about it. I
just didn't think that we'd had time to get
out and push it. . . but that's really good
news."
Mike Wright, member of the Student
Health Committee, said, "I'm very
pleased. It was the only logical choice
that could have been made?
A Board of Trustees meeting March 15
had passed a resolution approving the in­crease
in tuition if the students voted the
same in the referendum. The proposed
tuition increase must be officially sub­mitted
to the Board for approval by Pres.
Harry M. Philpott, but Philpott has said
earlier that if the referendum passed he
would approve the increase.
By a vote of 4.0Q3 to 721 students ap
proved a change in the constitution clari­fying
that a candidate may not use
grades earned at another institution for
the purpose of qualifying to run for of­fice.
The amendment stemmed from a dis­puted
senate seat last year. In that
dispute Reed Lannom, the apparent win­ner
of the men's on-campus seat,
contended that his grades from Miami-
Dade Junior College should count
toward his qualification. Without his ju­nior
college grades Lannom would not
have had the required 1.00 overall aver­age
to run for senator.
The Student Senate later ruled that
Lannom should be seated because he had
been told by the Elections Board that he
was qualified to run and had cam­paigned
in good faith.
A woman9s touch
How does it feel to be the only woman
off-campus senator?
Leigh Ann Stegall, who was elected, to
the post in Thursday's elections, says it
won't bother her.
"I feel I can adequately represent
women off campus, because I am willing
to listen to women," she said. "Being a
woman, however I mieht be able to
understand the women's problems more
easily."
She also made it clear, however, that
she was not representing just women, but
that she wanted to help all students. i i i i i i i i i i i i i n i i i r

local ministers rate controversial movie
By Joyce Harrison
Plainsman Staff Writer
A group of local minsters and Paul Crouch,
coordinator of Student Development Services,
were permited to preview "The Exorcist" by Ti­ger
Theatre Manager George Folsom after a re­quest
by the group so they might be better
prepared to counter possible emotional pro­blems
resulting from the film.
Walter Porter, director of the Baptist Student
Union, who first called the meeting of the min­isters,
said his conscience was raised to the fact
that the movie was coming. "In the sense that
people should have the freedom to choose what
they want to see, 'The Exorcist' should be
shown," he said.
"While it might be offensive or cause psychol­ogical
problems for some people, any attempt to
prohibit people from seeing it would have the
opposite effect and encourage them to go," Por­ter
said.
The Rev. Henry Dawson, pastor of the Sand
Hill Baptist Church, who did not attend the pre­view,
did not distribute literature opposing the
movie in front of the theatre Friday as he had
said he would in a recent Plainsman interview.
When asked about it, Dawson replied, "No
comment. I didn't say anything like that. (I)
Don't have any further comments to make.
Thank you."
However, in an April 5 letter to the editor of
The Opelika-Auburn News, Dawson wrote, "I
would like to warn everyone in this area to stay
away from the movie, 'The Exorcist.'
"Many people might laugh and claim there
are no such things as demons and devils but let
me assure you that Satan and his demon forces
are very much alive and they run this world
right now.
"People who begin to look into this evil will
open themselves up to demon possession.
"People have committed suicide after seeing
this evil film; many physical disorders, depres­sion,
despondency and other effects also have
resulted from seeing this movie.
"Missionaries have had to fight demons in
Africa for centuries, but they now report the
demons are leaving Africa for the United States
and the evidence proves this to be true.
"This Satan does not come always as a hor­rible
looking demon. He can be the nicest,
sweetest person you ever saw and he can even
be in the pulpit of churches. The only sure way
to protect yourself from this powerful force, the
Devil, is to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and
Saviour, and let the Bible (the King James ver­sion)
be the final authority in all matters.
"So if you fear God and want to stay away
from demons and devils, stay away from this
Satan-led movie, 'The Exorcist'."
Several persons did report receiving litera­ture
from Dawson the day before the movie
premiered in Auburn.
Crouch and several counselors from stu­dent
personnel went to the preview. When
asked if the movie could be harmful to a person
Movie review, page 16
with little or no religious background, Crouch
replied, "The movie could be a catalyst to some­one
who has a poor concept of reality to start
with."
Crouch remarked that a person could make
himself upset with the movie and that some
people go with the mental attitude that they
will be upset, making a self-fulfilling prophecy.
"We have already had a few people out of town
upset by the movie," Crouch said, "but I don't
think we'll have too much of that problem here
(at Auburn)."
Father August H. Englert of Saint Michael's
Church in Auburn, who read "The Exorcist,"
has refused to see the movie he said, because
"there are enough difficult things in a person's
life to deal with — to sort out — than by adding
another two and a half hours worth of terribly
difficult data."
"A bigger reason for not viewing the movie
was that the movie is giving notoriety to the
view that Satan could be a great 'cop-out,'" he
said. "It's like saying, 'the devil made me do it,'
and that's a lot of nonsense. I'm not denying
that Satan is a real force in the world, but it's
too easy to put our own responsibility on
Satan's shoulders."
Englert added that events portrayed in "The
Exorcist" are going on all the time, where
families (like Regan's) are destroyed and "we're
responsible for it, not the Devil."
When asked if good triumphed over evil in the
movie, Englert replied, "Yes, I thought it did.
One man (Father Damien Karras) said, 'I'll
take on the burdens (demons) of Regan' and it
cost him his life. Itcould be parallelled to.Christ
taking on the burdens of humanity and dying
also."
A contrasting view of the ending of the story
was given by the Rev. Felix Montgomery of
Lakeview Baptist Church. "The movie 'The Ex­orcist'
fails the Biblical accuracy test in that it
portrays the ultimate triumph of evil," he said.
"The film also fails to portray the original story
upon which it is based.
"Obviously it cannot be consistent with the
Scriptures or the original story and cannot be
dramatic or sensational enough to be popular.
"Therefore one who sees the movie should not
accept its content as truthful or authoritative.
Rather one needs to realize that Hollywood has
exploited the current fad for an emotional high
and has played upon the fear of the unknown in
order to make money."
Several "good points" of '"The Exorcist"
were cited by the Rev. Bob Baggett of Opelika's
First Baptist Church. "The dominate actor,
Father Karras, reflected an openness and
honesty — his human side spoke to me," Bag­gett
said. '"The Exorcist' showed that a sharp
guy has his weaknesses (the devil got to him
through his mother) and that a person's guilt
can be a tool that the devil can take advantage
of."
Asked if good triumphed over evil, Baggett re­plied,
"Yes, in the sense that Father Karras sa­crificed
his life so the girl (Regan) would be
OK."
Baggett said he thought the movie could be
compared to a horror movie, but the manifesta­tions
of the demons were too far-fetched to be
believable. "It just wasn't as good as I ex­pected,"
he said.

AWS abolition fails
to get two-thirds vote
By David Nordness
Entertainment Editor
A constitutional change in the Stu­dent
Government Association to abolish
Associated Women Students as an in­dependent
organization failed Thurs­day
when itdid not receive thetwo-thirds
majority needed by seven per cent of the
votes cast.
A related constitutional change to
grant the SGA the power to "legislate so­cial
rules and regulations" passed by a 71
per cent majority.
The two constitutional changes were
put on the ballot as part of a plan to
phase out the existing AWS organiza­tion.
The proposal was divided into two
changes: first to give the SGA roughly
the same powers assumed by the exist­ing
AWS, second to delete the paragragh
establishing the AWS as a separate
organization in the SGA Constitution.
While 59 per cent of the 4,700 voting on
the changes voted to eliminate the AWS
it did not receive the two-thirds voteto
abolish it.
The official count was 3,336 for and
1,372 against SGA assuming power over
social rules and 2,849 for and 1,960
against the abolition of the AWS.
The constitutional changes now go to
Pres. Harry M. Philpot. Philpott said
that he would make no comment until the
situation could be given a great deal of
study and thought.
AWS President Glenda Earwood said
she felt there was a great deal of confu­sion
in the way the issues were presented
on the ballot sheets.
Confusion arose when the four issues
were not numbered correctly when
printed. An uncorrected ballot would reg­ister
a vote on the Health Center as a vote
on the constitutional change on AWS.
Earwood said she had also heard reports,
of ballots that had the constitutional
changes in reverse order.
"I do not feel discouraged because of
the vote and will continue to work for the
AWS," she said. The AWS officers will
meet with Philpott Monday at 3:30 p.m. •
to discuss the results of the vote.
"It should be interesting to see how
President Philpott will treat the proposal
since it was presented by the SGA as a
package deal and the students obviously
did not buy it that way." Earwood said
she was not entirely opposed to a merg­ing
of AWS and SGA but the present plan
was "a very poor one."
Katherine Latvala, chairwoman of the
A WS-SG A Relations Committee said she
was "very pleased with the results" and
thought that women students showed
they understood the issues and support
AWS.
Both Earwood and Latvala stressed
that a breakdown of the votes to deter­mine
how women, especially on-campus
women, voted on the two proposed
changes would be very important.in
making any decision.
"The AWS is now in the process of ex­panding
its role," said Earwood, "and
the AWS, which has been in existance
since 1924, is moving to improve wo­man's
rights and urge greater par­ticipation
for women."

Alcoholics Anonymous group meets
weekly to compare experiences
By Steve Grenade
Plainsman Staff Writer
Thev seemed so nice. Thev ant thoro u
It was 7:30 on a Thursday night. My stomach was in knots
and I just knew I didn't belong here. The Alcoholics Anony­mous
(AA) house at 407 S. Eighth St. in Opelika . was dark
and ominous.
I sat slumped down in the seat of my car and waited. I
wasn't an alcoholic so what was I doing here invading the pri­vacy
of others? The meeting was an open meeting and Mr. T.
had said they would be glad to have me, but I just didn't feel
secure.
Mr. T. was an alcoholic.
At a quarter to eight the house was still dark and there
wasn't anyone in sight. I knew this was the right time and
place. The only other meetings they have are on Monday
nights, but that was for alcoholics only . . . not just for any­one
who wanted to come, especially a reporter.
I reached to turn on my ignition, but heard voices. Someone
mentioned alcohol then three persons passed my car and
walked up to the front porch of the house.
I quietly opened the car door, got out and made my way to
the house.-Two men smiled at me when I asked for Mr. T.; I
knew they thought I was an alcoholic.
Mr. T. had already made it into the old house. I passed
through the door going from a living room to a room half filled
with 'a couple dozen wooden wicket chairs. The other half of
the room contained a desk with one of those portable pulpits
on top. Bookcases were on both sides of the desk.
But none of these things caught my attention as much as a
small plaque on the wall that read: "Who you see here; What
you hear here; Please let it stay here."
Mr. T. was in the kitchen. I introduced myself and was in
turn introduced to his wife and some other folks.
We returned to the meeting room where I took a seat—in the
back.
Mr. S. was introduced to me, but immediately upon finding
out who I was, turned stone cold. He ambled over to the plaque
and casually remarked, "You saw this didn't you?" I nodded.
I looked at the people around me. These people couldn't be
alcoholics — they looked so normal. Alcoholics are supposed
to look rugged, mean, monstrous. That's how they always
looked on television.
They seemed so nice. They sat there talking about the
weather and how awful the water in Auburn tasted. Mr. S.
made a remark about how he had been bootlegging Opelika
water to Auburn because it tasted better. Everyone laughed.
I just smiled, not understanding why this man was making
jokes about something that they were supposed to be getting
away from.
Mr. S. asked if anyone cared for a Coke or some coffee. I pas­sed.
The meeting started with Mr. S. presiding. They said a pray­er
and Mr. S. read an excerpt from a book entitled "Alcoholics
Anonymous." Then Mr. S. asked some people to discuss their
lives as alcoholics.
Mr. W. told of how he had recently "unconsciously" taken a
bottle from under the sink, but by some "power of God," never
took that drink. It had been five years since he had had a
drink.
Mr. C. told about how he loved beer and how hard it was go­ing
to stay away from it with hot weather on the way.
"Nothing like a good cold beer," he said.
We all laughed, even me. I was beginning to feel more at
ease. These people were really nice. They knew that alcohol
was bad for them and that they had to stay away from "the
stuff."
They talked openly about how alcohol had really gotten to
them and they knew that if they took one drink they would be
right back where they were before.
I was coming to respect these people. They had courage to
admit that alcohol could and would control their lives if they
let it.
The meeting closed with'The Lord's Prayer, but no one
rushed off. They all stood around and conversed about a con­stant
threat — alcohol.
I walked over to Mr. S. who turned out not to be such a bad
fellow after all. He told me that the most important thing was
for people to be "honest" — to admit to themselves that they
were getting hooked. "The biggest problem is that people
aren't honest," he said.

Radio gift never used by infirmary
By Pat Fite
Plainsman Staff Writer
Dickson Norman, WJHO
radio announcer, and Jack
Tatum, Auburn trustee, do­nated
a used, realigned tube
radio for the student infir­mary
ambulance on behalf of
the Heart Fund in December,
1973, but according to Garth
L. Jarvis, director of Drake
Student Health Center, the
radio was "not needed and
never used."
Jarvis said he was ori­ginally
not going to take the
radio, but did not explain
why he finally decided to
accept it.
Jarvis confirmed the fact
that during December, 1973,
the infirmary had ordered a
new mobile, solid-state radio,
which is smaller and will last
longer than the tube radio do­nated.
The contribution of the
radio was publicized in a local
Auburn newspaper with a pic­ture
of Tatum and Norman
presenting the radio in be­half
of the Heart Fund.
Tatum said he did not have
anything to do with the Heart
Fund. "I was in the picture
because I coordinated the
effort with Norman," he said.
Norman, Heart Fund chair­man,
said he went to Jack
Tatum instead of directly to
the informary so he could
have a "channel to give the
radio to them."
Tatum said Norman could
have gone to the infirmary,
but he knew "I was
interested."
Norman said he did not
know that the radio was not
wanted and explained, "It's
probably a typical Univer­sity
situation. It's easier to
buy something than go
through the red tape of
having it contributed."
Norman said many stu­dents
had helped raise money
for the Heart Fund, so he
decided to donate the tube
radio to the school. Norman
said Floyd H. Vallery, assis­tant
to the president, played
an important part in the con­tribution.
Vallery said he sim­ply
brought the infirmary and
Norman together to see if the
contribution were applicable.
According to Vallery, J. H.
White, director of University
Relations, contacted him
about the donation. White
said he did not remember if it
were Tatum or Norman who
first contacted him, but ba
knew the radio was probably
needed.
White said that it was an
arbitrary judgment to take it
on behalf of the infirmary in
case it could be used there. "I
don't believe anyone forced
Jarvis^ \ accept it," he said.
White s^i/ he contacted Val­lery
so Vallery could contact
the informary about the
contribution.
White said the radio was
sent to the Department of
Engineering for evaluation to
make sure it could be used.
James L. Lowry, professor
of electrical engineering, has
had the radio since December
and said it is not being used.
"I was under the impres­sion
that it was going to be
used by the infirmary,"
Lowry said.
"There must be a mis­understanding
along the line
somewhere," Tatum said.

OPEN LETTER TO ALL FUTURE DIAMOND BUYERS FROM WARE'S
JEWELRY
I would like to talk with you about your plans for buying a dia­mond.
Regardless of whether you plan to spend $100.00 or
$f ,000.00 you want to be able to give her the most beautiful dia­mond
possible for the money you plan to invest. You want the best
buy possible in size and quality for every dollar you spend. We
have a proven system to SAVE YOU REAL MONEY on your diamond
purchase. May. I explain Ware's Loose Diamond System to you?
1) Twenty three years ago we introduced "Ware's Loose Diamond
System"... a system to sell a diamond and mounting individually.
The advantages are many. A loose diamond selected permits one to
check the weight, color and perfection grade of each stone
separately. You cannot get your full diamond value without proper
diamond grading.
2) We have many diamonds... Many grades and prices... so that
we can fill your needs regardless of size or quality desired.
3) We represent many of the nation's finest design houses for the

Olympics give participants a special feeling
—Gary Hudgins
PARADE OF ATHLETES
Special Olympics participants circle track field
By Debbie Price
Plainsman Staff Writer
The parade of athletes, their advisers and
coaches circled the track field. The excitement
mounted in the participants and observers during
the opening ceremony with the presentation of
colors, the raising of the flags, the invocation and
the lighting of the official torch. When the torch
was brought in, the games began.
All of this sounds very much like the Olympic
games, but the athletes in these games are mental­ly
retarded children. These children from special
education classes come every year to participate in
the Special Olympic games in their district.
For four of the past five years the Auburn dis­trict
Special Olympics have been held at the Uni­versity.
Saturday, 431 children participated in
various events to determine who will compete in
the state games in Troy, May 10 and 11.
"The Special Olympics were started through the
Kennedy Foundation on a national basis for chil­dren
in special education classes," said Barbara
Walls, the special education representative for this
year's district meet. "The main aim is the learning
of competition and sportsmanship and the
developing of cooperation between the teachers
and children." / '• .,
District Coordinator, Judy Tomhn, said, These
games are a big motivator that often carries over
into the classroom, situation and moves tUe chil­dren
to work harder there."
Any child in a special education class can com­pete
in the district games. Teachers from different
school systems time and measure their students'
efforts in the 50-yard dash, the 220-yard run, the
440-yard run, the Softball throw and the broad
jump. This year there were also two swimming
events — the 25-yard free style and the 25-yard
back stroke.
The times and measurements were sent in to the
district coordinators to be run through a com­puter.
The computer divides the children accord­ing
to age groups and ability. This insures that the
children will be competing with others of similar
ability and gives as many children as possible the
chance to win.
The schedule and organization of the Special
Olympic games is modeled very closely after the
Olympic games — only on a smaller scale.
The athletes and their teachers or coaches reg­istered
before the parade Saturday at 9 a.m. The
parade moved from the Coliseum to the Wilbur
Hutsell Track field where the groups circled the
track and held the opening ceremonies.
The games ran until lunch, which this year was
provided by the local Jaycees. Before and after
lunch clinics including basketball, trampoline,
weight lifting, wrestling, judo, baton twirling and
football were offered.
Basketball was taught by former Auburn
basketball player Herbert Greene. Trampoline
was taught by Charlene Gillespie, 3HPR, and
Lynn Peters, 3HPR. Auburn wrestler Eddie Rew
conducted the wrestling clinic while Auburn foot­ball
player Randy Walls taught football.
The children really seemed to enjoy the Special
Olympics. They sometimes get so excited about the
games that they start working for them in ad­vance.
Jerry Barnes, a third place winner in the 50-
yard dash from Valley Haven School, said, "I like
it. I ran around the block two times yesterday
practicing."
Sharon Dowdell, a first place winner in the 50-
yard dash said she had been a little "scared" but
"it was a lot of fun." Even though she was a first
place runner, she lost out in the Softball throw to
her twin sister who "threw the ball 179 feet be­cause
she had a strong arm."
The Special Olympics at Auburn were co­ordinated
this year by Judy Tomlin, 13SED, and
Arnold Umbach, former wrestling coach.
The Health, Physical Education and Recreation
department, the Auburn Special Education De­partment,
the Auburn band, the Jaycees and
many students also participated.

HOW FAR WILL IT GO?
. Young athlete tries his skill at the softball throw
A grant of $3,789 from the
National Endowment for he
Arts has been received by
Auburn's Department of
Architecture to extend the
research of an environ­mental
education program
completed at Auburn last
year.
The film, "Catfish and
Neon Signs," was produced to
show how many kinds of
pollution have destroyed ur­ban
and surburban areas and
how small towns and com­munities
in southeast Ala­bama
can circumvent such
destruction.
"Planting trees, shrubs and
flowers in the downtown
areas of the communities is
one solution," said Dr. Stef-fen
Doerstling, associate pro­fessor
of architecture.
"We can move the cars to
the rear of stores or to sate­llite
areas," he said, "creat­ing
shopping malls and of­fice
parks rather than a park­ing
lot surrounded by build­ings
and crossed by frigh­tened
pedestrians."
Doerstling said wires and
utility poles which are "more
visually disturbing than most
of us realize" can be hidden in
underground networks as
they need replacement.
Footage for the 16mm color
and sound film was taken in
Auburn, Roanoke, Lafayette,

Montgomery.

Eight plans are considered
to ease dining hall deficit
By Edith Hovator
Plainsman Staff Writer
"We do not want to go back
to compulsory meal tickets
but this is one of several alter­natives
if more people do not
start eating in the dining
halls," said Dr. Ben T. Lan-ham,
vice president of
administration.
He said that no final deci­sion
had been made by the
Board of Trustees, but Terrell
Dining Hall is losing money
and something will have to be
done.
Auburn went to the 10 per
cent reduction in food prices
at Union Cafeteria to try to
generate enough business to
make up for the losses taken
at. Terrell Dining Hall, Lan-ham
said.
The University will not be
losing money from lower
prices because hopefully more
people will eat there, he said.
Magnolia Dining Hall is
breaking even. It is hoped this
will work .so the University
won't have to go back to com­pulsory
meal tickets, Lan-ham
said.
There are other alterna­tives,
Lanham said.
The University could elimi­nate
the 10 per cent reduc­tion,
go back to where we were
and increase prices, he said.
Lanham added that they do
not want this because then
the dining hall would not be
competitive.
Auburn could contract an
outside firm to take over all
dining halls. The University
would have no control over
prices or the quality of food
served, Lanham noted.
Auburn could go back to the
compulsory meal plan where
every woman would have to
buy at least a nine-meal plan.
The idea behind this is that
meal tickets are profitable be­cause
a lot of women won't eat
even though they have to buy
tickets, he said. If the Univer­sity
should go back to com­pulsory
meal tickets the wo­men's
dining hall would pos­sibly
be reopened, Lanham
said.
Dorm rent also could be in­creased
to cover debts in din­ing
halls, he said.
The University could close
down all dining facilities, as
another solution to the pro­blem,
Lanhad said.
He said the problem exists
now because it was predicted
two years ago that at least
half of the women would con­tinue
to buy meal tickets even
if it were non-compulsory.
The number of people buy­ing
meal tickets continues to
decline each quarter. Last fall
in Magnolia Dining Hall 634
men bought tickets while this
spring 333 men bought
tickets.
In Noble Hall 119 women
bought tickets last fall, while
14 bought tickets this spring.
At Terrell Dining Hall 745 of
1,200 women bought tickets
last fall, while this spring 330
women bought tickets, Lan­ham
said.
"If all three dining halls
combined can break even,
neither compulsory meal
tickets nor any of the other
alternatives will be needed.
We'll just have to wait and see
what happens this quarter
with the 10 per cent reduction
in prices," he said.
County Probate Office

Auburn students' regis­tered

in danger of being removed
from the poll lists if they do
not write or call the Probate
Office so new voting pre­cincts
can be established.

the name, address and birth-date
of each voter.

Correction
A statement in the April 4 edition of The Plainsman
attributed to presidential candidate Ric Sellers was not
said by Sellers but by Mike Waller.
The statement reads:
As far as AWS goes, the situation has been brought
up time and time again over the years here at Auburn,
not just since this past year. This past year it was
brought up and brought to the students.
After serving on this committee this past year to pro­pose
this plan, draw up this plan, the committee felt
that the maun motivation for drawing up this plan was
to present it to the students and let them get a final say-so
because it's been brought up time and time again in
the Senate and they haven't really been able to do
anything with it. Nothing's been changed and stu­dents
have been talking about it year after year and the
committee's motivation was to bring this in front of the
students.
I by no means think that this is the extremely per­fected
plan. However, I do believe it's a sound, func­tioning,
functionally sound plan and that — of course,
you know I was on the committee to draw it up so I
would have to stand for the merger if I were to vote. But
I'll be casting my vote just like everybody else. My
stand on the issue will be just like — I'll have the same
magnitude as far as anyone else, in other words, my
stand will be the same as anyone else's of the students,
and I'll voice my opinion in the voting booth just the
same as I hope they will.
mobile home dwellers and
Auburn students may not
have been notified.
A complete list of regis­tered
voters must be pub­lished
by the Probate Office
by Monday.

"My daddy promised 50
cents a mile or $20 dollars if I
didn't walk," commented one
of the 705 registered
participants in Saturday's
March of Dimes Walkathon.
Pledges for the first annual'
trek are $22,371, according to
Chairman George Edie.
Walkathon worker Buzz
Howard said the first to cross
the finish line were Bill Gates,
worker at the state employ­ment
office, and Butch Cope-land,
1PN. with a time
about three hours.
First of about 550
participants to complete the
course, Gates said he ran the
18-mile course as a workout.
He said he ran nine addition­al
miles later that day.
A "poop wagon" furnished
by Auburn Army ROTC
patroled the route and picked
up persons unable to complete
the march.
Trophies will be awarded
April 19 to the .fraternity,
sorority and group which has
accumulated the most
pledges, Edie said.
The individual collecting
the most money will be
awarded a 10 speecT bicycle.
The lone serious casualty of
the Walkathon was a possible
broken toe suffered by Kay
Belser, daughter of history
professor Thomas Belser. The
injury occurred when a full
soft drink can was dropped on
her foot.
When asked why she
participated, one walker said
it was to raise the money. She
said she would do it again
next year if she had the
chance.

An anonymous letter on love'
"Hey, there's gonna be a big bust this
weekend."
"Well, I am a University adminis­trator
and I view 'streaking' with the be­mused
attitude of 'Ain't it grand?'"
"Yes, that's right — she has a member­ship
at the Figure Salon. Aren't you go­ing
to print that?"
The Plainsman gets a lot of anony­mous
calls and letters, many like those
above. A lot of them are useless and some
are incoherent or obscene. But this week,
an anonymous letter in the mail helped
me clarify attitudes in my mind toward
this outlandish social ritual we call "dat­ing."
The letter was written on lightly
scented cream-colored stationery with a
nice flower pattern embossed into the
texture. I dreaded opening it at first,
since it was addressed to "the man it may
concern,'.' the usual greeting on a hate let­ter.
The opening paragraph set me at ease.
The precise handwriting apologized in
advance for the sentimentality of the let­ter;
then the writer related how she had
felt particularly emotional recently. She
had cried even while watching decent
movies, and had to steer clear from cer­tain
sentimental ones like "Camelot"
and "South Pacific."
Then she got down to business. She
described the intricate play-acting that
takes place on a "typical" Auburn date
and then burst out, "/ AM TIRED OF
ALL THESE GAMES!"
The words jumped off the paper at me:
"I'm tired of throwing kisses away that
mean nothing — that are not outward
signs of inner- love. I'm tired of blind
dates and dating a person for their social
status instead of for the person. I'm sick
of playing in love . . ."
That was it! There, in a few sentences,
were the weaknesses of "dating" as it
exists in our society now.
We're expected to throw those kisses
away, just like the people our age in the
movies and on TV. It's expected; it's
something you do, and may or may not
be an "outward sign of inner love." More
than likely, it's a concession to the social
forces that make us conform.
The "blind date" — that's another one
of those weaknesses of the system. On
the "blind date," you're supposed to act

Shorty Price he'd have been born with

—Anonymous
I had been sent to cover an informal
press conference for The Plainsman and
to get some solid quotes from the
gubernatorial candidates, or so I
thought. That's an easy enough assign­ment
considering politicians weigh each
syllable and so speak slowlv.
I stood in the lounge and sized up each
candidate as he walked in, trying to com­pose
an intelligent question for each.
From out of nowhere came Shorty Price,
the Motor-Mouth of the South. He open­ed
up at close range and his fire was
devastating.
Never have I heard anyone talk so fast.
As I listened, I grappled for a statement
that I could understand in its entirety so
that I could use.it.in the story. No soap.
His weather-beaten hands darted
about gesturing, but he seemed always
on the alert to grab me by the lapelsif I
strayed too far. His forehead furrowed
with each ill he listed with machinegun
rapidity.
I could see my young career a s - a"
journalist meeting an inglorious end as I
tried to ask a question, just for the sake of
form.
It didn't make any difference. Shorty
apparently has been through so many
"interviews" that he has the script down
pat.
This reporter, not being just any­body's
idiot, decided to go for option two:
just take down everything he said. About
30 seconds passed and option three was
implemented: Grab a few quotes and get
the hell out of there.
Price's gimmick was "Wallace-gate,"
that collection of misfortunes during the
Wallace administrations such as the
state docks in Mobile, Seymore Tram-just
like this person you've never seen is
an old buddy. You're supposed to act
naturally and let things happen by them­selves.
More than likely, it'll be a ten­sion-
filled evening of game-playing. It's
OK for visiting friends on big weekends,
but other than that. . .
Then there's "dating a person for their
social status," which is just another part
of the root evil of dating as we know it:
"playing in love."
I don't know why we do it, why we
"play in love." Maybe it's because our
peers expect us to, maybe it's because the
movies and TV have drilled false ex­pectations
into us: I don't know.
Whatever the reason, it seems that dat­ing
as a method of mate selection is in­creasingly
failing. More than one of
every four marriages today ends in di­vorce
and more than that are probably
unsatisfactory but are held together by
imething, such as "the kids," or fi-
. mcial dependency.
It's easy to blame the failure of dating
on "game-playing" but imagine those
times you've tried not to play the games.
Pretty awkward, wasn't it?
Apparently the game-playing is al­most
insurmountable, or so a sociology
freak and friend of mine says. He says
that successful couples generally start
off by playing the games but then
develop the relationship to the point that
they can drop the game-playing or most
of it.
This may be the answer, but I don't
know and neither did the writer of the
anonymous letter.
The letter-writer closed by expressing
her hope that someday she will find the
man she's been looking for. Until then,
she said, she just wouldn't be complete.
Signing a false name, she explained:
"Revealing one's identity is hard to do
for fear of another not understanding or
caring — or even worse — making fun of
what or how that person truly feels."
"Let's just say that I am a naive girl
student at Auburn who is chasing a
dream she believes will someday come
true," she concluded.
And I hope it will too.

He seemed determined to bring George

He was merciful however, by abreviat-ing
his tirade with a reference to his book

Our opinion
There's a better way to choose editors
This year's race for editor of The
Plainsman is the first contested race for
the position since 1968. This has caused
much discussion during the campaign
about whether the editors of student
publications should be elected by the
general student body as presently done
or by some other means.
publications— Plainsman and
Glomerata— races have stated that they
favor electing publications editors some
way other than by a general election.
We feel they have a valid point.
Many students fail to become
adequately informed on the candidates
and the issues involved in the campaign

the flashiest campaign rather than who
they feel is the most qualified, who has
done the most work in the past and who
is the most responsible and capable
for the post.Realizing that they are not
adequately informed to make a re­sponsible
decision, many students have
been asking staff members how to vote.
Auburn is oneof the few schools wheYe'
this problem occurs. Most other
universities select publications editors
by methods other than general student
elections.
We suggest that the publication staffs
play a more important part in the select­ion
process since they have worked
closely with the candidates and are more
able to make an informed decision on
who is the best person for the job.
We feel the results of staff voting on the
candidates should be presented "to the
Board of Communications which would
have final say in the appointment. The
Communications Board would then be in
a better position to choose the best person
for editor because the Board publishes
The Plainsman and the Glomerata and
is ultimately responsible for what each
publication prints.
•The board is composed of a non-voting
chairman, two administration represen­tatives,
two faculty members, the student
government president and five seniors
chosen by the Student Senate. Since
students control the balance of power on
the board, they can still have a voice in
the selection of publications editors.
This may not be the only feasible
answer but it is much better than leaving
editor selections on ta political battle­ground.
Classroom coaches
Profs must help students overcome 'defense'
Elections as a beginning
One way for a basketball coach to win basketball
games is to lead his players to the gymnasium, toss
the ball to them, point to the basket and say, "Throw
the ball through the hoop just as many times as you
can, and if you throw the ball through the hoop more
times than the other team you will win the ball game."
When the basketball game begins, the responsibility
of this coach ends and the players will win the game if
outside.
A guest editorial
By Dr. Ernest Justice
they indeed do have the competency to throw the ball
through the hoop more times than the opposing team,,
for they are following the advice of their coach.
If the players cannot throw the ball through the
basket enough to win the game, other players can be
put into the game. This coach will appear to be effec­tive
as long as the players win ball games.
However, the opposing players may be coached dif­ferently.
They use different types of defense; a man-for-
man defense, a one-three-one zone defense, or any
variation that their coach can devise for them which
might prohibit our team throwing the ball through
the hoop.
It now clearly becomes the responsibility of our
coach to devise and to "teach" our players ways of get­ting
clear, sure, easy, close shots at the basket. If he
can do this job then the competency and skill of our
players can win more games.
What I am trying to point out is this. The coach who
merely points out the objective and says, "O.K. boys,
there it is. Go to it," is not helping his players gain
their objective, to throw the ball through the basket.
He must devise a new game plan to overcome the op­position
so that his players can gain their objective.
The objective of the coach must be realized in the suc-cessftikfloor-
play of his players. The objective of the
players is not realized when the coach points toward
the basket.
The coach's expertise must be the introduction of
new strategies to get the players in a position for an
easy lay-up. Because the opposition is constantly ap­pearing
in new forms, the coach must be alert and in­novate
new game-plans. Basketball players possess
the skill to put the ball through the hoop and they
know where it is. However, they expect the coach to in­novate
ways to overcome the opposition.
The 15,000 students who are on the Auburn Univer­sity
campus know that their objective is to have a de­gree
conferred upon them. The objective is clearly be­fore
them and their teachers, the professorial staff of
the various schools on the campus. Their success de­pends
upon the game-plans which the professorial
staff devises for them.
If the instructor of any course merely points out the
data and facts that are the objectives of the course and
then watches the students attack the objective, he will
be shirking his responsibility just as surely as the
basketball coach who merely points toward the
basket and says, "Go to it, boys!"
Many students face an opposition many times more
subtle than any man-for-man or one-three-one zone
defense which an opposing basketball coach can de­vise,
and it is an opposition which many professors ig­nore.
By refusing to recognize this opposition and
responsibility for helping their students overcome it,
these professors are either saying such opposition
does not exist, which is an ostrich-like mentality, or
an admission that they are not concerned if students
do or do not successfully attain their objectives. Other
students will take their places and learn the facts,
data, skills, or procedures required for a successful
completion of the course.
The opposition which students must overcome to
reach their objective is a formidable list of built-in
abilities and prejudices that all students have when
they arrive on the campus. Basketball players either
can or cannot throw a ball through a hoop and the
ability of the coach is evaluated by the number of
games which the players win. That is, he is known by
the innovative game-plans he devises to overcome the
opposition, not by merely pointing toward the goal.
Academic students either can or cannot gain their
objective, a degree; therefore, it must follow that the
ability of the professors must be evaluated by thesuc-cess
of the students, not by merely outlining the ob­jectives
of a course. The professor must devise in-
If the instructor of any course

facts . . .he will be shirking his

says, "Go to it, boys!"
novative learning strategies so that students can as-simulate
the facts, data, skills and procedures ap­propriate
for a given class. He must construct learn­ing
strategies that make it possible for students to
utilize the abilities, prejudices and knowledge they al­ready
possess, not to construct objectives that seem to
be irrelevant and impossible to attain.
The academic professor must recognize that op­position
which his students face and which they must
overcome. If he is to develop a winning learning
strategy for his students, the professor must consider
the man-for-man opposition that is offered by the
physical developmental patterns which describe his
students as individuals. He must recognize the varia­tions
of zone-defense which characterize the beha­vioral
patterns of his students.
The extent to which a professor departs from the
narrow limits of a goal-oriented objective to a game-plan
which is the synthesis of the problems that his
students must overcome, enables that professor to
lose the paranoia of the "There it is, boy! Go to it!"
individual who stands aloof while the students strive
to reach his goals and objectives. He has done more
than say, "It's your problem. You solve it!"
Dr. Justice, associate professor in Secondary
Education, has been on the faculty at Auburn
since I960 and currently advises music educa­tion
majors.
Now that the campaigning and cajol­ing,
poster-posting and door-knocking
are over, Auburn has a set of elected
student officers to work for the better­ment
of the University and student life
It's a lot quieter now, with campaigns
over. But the enthusiasm of campaigns
shouldn't end with elections. The cam­paign
brought forth many constructive
ideas which need implementation.
Winners of the races should consider not
only their own ideas but those worthy
ones brought up by their opponents.
Presidential candidates, for example,
have proposed frequent student
questionnaires, lower campaign
spending limits, and positive programs
to enable the Student Government
Association to reach out to students. All
these ideas deserve a careful look, even
though some were proposed by defeated
candidates.
More important than that, the
enthusiasm of campaign workers and
candidates should continue, now that
officers have been elected and a new start
can be made on new goals. And most
important of all, students should main­tain
the interest they showed during
campaigns. They should watch their
officers' performance and demand the
best. Only then can SGA become a year-round
force instead of a yearly
conversation topic.
Happy Easter to our readers
Today is Good Friday — the beginning
of the Easter weekend — and it's good for
a lot of reasons.
For some religious denominations, it
means the beginning of one of their
church's more meaningful occasion's.
Many students will be going to their
homes this weekend to observe the
holiday at their home churches.
For the children, Easter means a visit
from the Easter Bunny and hunting for
brightly dyed eggs.
For everybody, it's a real sign that the
winter is at last over, since flowers and
dogwoods can be seen blooming along all
the roads and trails in this part of the
country. Easter is a time when the re­birth
of nature after the winter can be
seen all around.
To all our readers, we wish a meaning­ful
and happy Easter — and don't eat too
many chocolate bunnies.

PRACTICES 'AU women athletes
deserve better funding9
We are writing this to inform the
Auburn student body about women's
intercollegiate sports on our campus. The
funds we are given are grossly low for a
school of any size, much less one with
15,000 students. It is frustrating to see
schools such as the University of Ala­bama
and Florida State University pro­vide
their girls with the best; yet we re­ceive
so little.
Approximately one half of the stu­dents
on this campus are women.
Women, however, receive only 1 per cent
of each student's activity fee, while the
men receive 10 per cent. If we are to
equally represent this University; our
funds must increase.
Would you believe that the women
have had to sell stationery in order to get
uniforms? Do you think a football player
would sell a dozen boxes of stationery to
get a uniform and use this same uniform
year after year? For three years now the
Blank pages

women's tennis, volleyball, and basket­ball
teams have had to share the same
warm-ups. Women's teams representing
Auburn University deserve better!
Many times we have been forced to ask
schools to accommodate us in vacant
dorm rooms, because we could not afford
the cheapest motel room. We must travel
in cars provided by the coaches and stu­dents.
We must also pay for our food
while on these trips. Why should an
athlete or coach representing this Uni­versity
be so inconvenienced?
Our coaches are not paid and must
volunteer their time, .services, and
money to help us, while scheduling their
time around all else. Is this fair?
Many people are beginning to make a
stand against discrimination of women
in competitive sports. Dr. Joe Elrod, an
assistant professor at Auburn Univer­sity
at Montgomery has said, "Girls
should be provided with as many oppor­tunities
to participate in varsity athletic
competition between schools as boys."
James Bergene, a principal of C. M.
Russell High School in Great Falls,
Montana, has said, "If athletics have a
place in education then they are as
important for girls as for boys. If they
have no general educational value, if
they are just something for boys and to
entertain the townspeople and alumni,
then we should get rid of them. Any prin­cipal
who is willing to support a strong
boys' athletic program and is content to
have a weak girls' program has no
business calling himself an educator."
Most men coaches will tell you that
athletics build a healthy body and strong
character in a boy. Why shouldn't a
woman receive the same opportunity to
acquire these and other benefits?
The Auburn Women's Athletic pro­gram
needs money badly. We hope that
the Student Government Assoccation
will see clear to grant us more money
than they are presently providing. We
.are not asking for a greatamount. just for
what we need and deserve, so that we
may develop a strong athletic program
for our women.

It is becoming quite a problem for the
Glomerata to cover major entertainment
on this campus. We feel that the students
have a desire and a right to view these
performers in this publication. These
events are a major part of this year and
adequate coverage is a necessity for the
success of the Glomerata.
The major recent event which
prompted me to write this is the "Elvis
Concert." I received a letter from the Coli­seum
Manager saying that no press
passes would be accepted and therefore
we should buy tickets.
Two points:
(1) $10 for a photographer to spend is a
lot, especially if he doesn't wish to see the
concert. (No money is allotted in the bud­get
for such expenditures.)
(2) If this event is on the Auburncam-pus,
the campus press should be en­couraged
to attend and be admitted
freely.
I went to the Coliseum Manager's
office and was assured that if we pur­chased
tickets they would be on or very
near the front row so that good photos
could be obtained. The ticket was on the
8th row.
A few days before the concert I called
the manager and he apologized but said
it was too late to do anything about these
seats. To add to this, on arrival at the
concert I was told that I would not be
allowed to leave my seat!
Pages in the Glom have been allotted
for this concert, and our printer has ex­tended
our final deadline so that we can
include this concert in our Features Sec­tion.
What to do? Settle for shots which
are taken from a distance, which causes
them to lose any dynamic appeal or fill
these allotted pages with a $2 posterof El­vis?
(His promoters who include these
stipulations of no-photos would agree
with the latter solution, I imagine.)
I'm not saying Coliseum management
is at fault because I realize. that this con­cert
was handled primarily by outside
interests, but the "Elvis Concert" is not
the only instance this year.
Marcel Marceau had similar restric­tions
concerning photos. We do not use
flash and a small inaudible click is the
only difference we make.
Why not use press release photos?
Because they are not an accurate record
of that person's performance at Auburn.
He or she should be depicted in Auburn
surroundings as the crowd remembers
and viewed them.
I realize that the "No Photo" regula­tions
are intended to keep the aisles clear,
avoid confusion and increase sales of
souvenir materials, but the major press,
should be allowed some consideration
regarding the coverage of concerts and
related events. Meanwhile, someone
write and tell me what to do with the two
pages intended for the Elvis concert or
Marcel Marceau.

The Plainsman's Editorial Board joins
Parker in requesting that consideration
be given regarding photographic cover­age
of concerts and related events.
'Streaking: real issue?9
—Editor's note
Thanks to The Plainsman's staff for
again keeping the Auburn student body
aware. Why, less than a month ago the
average Auburn student was still con­cerned
with such issues as political
corruption, women's rights, state elec­tions,
and the energy crisis.
He did not realize what an important
issue "streaking" had become. Thank
goodness we have The Auburn' Plains­man
to inform the students of the real
issues at hand.
For what could be more important
than "making University officials
uneasy and shocking old ladies?"
Having students run naked across the
campus has surely made Auburn a better
school. After all, everyone else is doing
it.

Why not
ban Bible?
In an article which appeared in the March 7 edition
of The Auburn Plainsman, an explanation for the
University Bookstore ban on Playboy and Pent­house
was given. This ban was the result of one stu­dent,
one faculty member and a local clergyman.
I must first say that the ban is another shining
example of the Administration's (Lord Harry and
Queen Katherine) maniacal quest to reestablish the
antiquated mores, which existed more than 100 years
ago.
Secondly, I would like U> know when One Student,
One Faculty member, and a clergyman who is not
even a member of this academic community have
enough influence to inflict their belief upon an in­stitute
comprised of over l.'?,000 individuals. I have
nothing to say to the student or faculty member in
that their convictions weren't strong enough to jus­tify
their names put in print, but to Dr. Dawson I have
a question.
Dr. Dawson stated that "students should not be al­lowed
to choose what they want to read from an open
selection." There was another statement strikingly
similar to Dawson's, which was made by a man inter­nationally
known.
The statement read "The state must act as a
guardian of a millenial future in the face of which the
wishes and selfishness of individuals must appear as
nothing and submit." The question I ask Dawson is
this, "Are you going to burn those students who re­fuse
to submit to your idiotic view?" This was the solu­tion
Adolf Hitler found to his statement.
In closing I propose a resolution to the University
Bookstore. If you continue your ban on "vile, pro-nographic
smut" then remove the most vile of all. The
book to which I refer, consistently describes prostitu­tion,
anarchy, mass murder and delves into the inner
most sexual being of man. This book is the Bible.

'Unacceptable excuse9
Most of us are aware that in any society there are
usually those persons who feel it their moral obliga­tion
and spiritual duty to look after the welfare of
everyone else in that society. Otherwise we wouldn't
have hospitals or doctors or services like the Red
Cross and things of that type.
Useful services can be an acceptable excuse for
such behavior.
Censorship and moral policing — which do no­thing
but produce narrow minds and restricted view­points
when wide-ranging, integrative thinking is
both necessary and morally imperative — cannot be
condoned under any circumstances.
God must have thought nudity pleasing (at least by
one account) when he created Adam and Eve in that
blissful state.

'Remove the temptation9 Editorial photography
—Dan Ihiughtiv
Reader applauds pornography removal
I wholeheartedly concur with the ban of the sale of
lewd magazines (such as Playboy) in the University
Bookstore. Admittedly, this action may seem futile in
that it will not deter anyone who wishes to purchase
the same from obtaining them at private bookstores.
Yet I support this action not as a matter of incon­veniencing
those who wish to purchase such porno­graphy,
but as a matter of providing a choice to those
who wish to avoid the same.
To no avail I have spoken to the manager of one pri­vate
bookstore about the flagrant display of lasci­vious
magazines on the check-out counters of his store
which make it all but impossible for one to avoid look­ing
at the indecently garbed women portrayed on the
covers. It is most distressing to me to he confronted
with such pictures every time I make a purchase at a
bookstore.
I might add as an aside that it seems to ine that
Playboy and such magazines are diametrically op­posed
to the worthy concept that has been most
recently expressed by certain liberals (I have in mind
the Women's Lib movement) to the effect that women
should he considered as individuals with.intellectual
and moral competency rather than as playthings for
the lusts of men.
But I do not feel any need to defend my morals
which compel me to reject Playboy as a worthwhile
publication not do I feel any need to criticize the
morals of those who think otherwise. The purpose ol
this letter is not to judge anyone, hut to plead with
those students who will no doubt offer strenuous ob­jections
to this ban. which — as they sincerely feel —
deprives them of their right of choice.
My plea is this: Please consider the right of one
who is offended by these lewd magazines to have the
opportunity to do business in a bookstore where these
objectionable pictures are not blatantly displayed as
they are now in the private bookstores. Perhaps with
the continuation of its ban. the University liookstoro
can serve in this capacity to such people as myself
who feel this way.

Student protests 'outsider's' influence on AU
I am writing this in reaction to the story on the front
page of the March 7 issue of The Plainsman. The
article to which I am referring is the one concerning
the removal of Playboy and Penthouse from the Uni­versity
Bookstore. The article stated that there had
been "three" complaints on the sale of these
magazines.
My first objection is that Rev. Dawson, an "out­sider,"
should be permitted to determine what should
and should not be made available to the student body
of this University. We, the students, are the ones who
pay tuition and daily attend classes on this campus.
What gives a person not even related to the Univer­sity
the gall to force his morals on the members of this
University? Suppose Rev. Dawson next decides that
we, the students, don't pay enough tuition? Upon his
request, will the administration raise tuition to please
this "outsider?"
Or what if Rev. Dawson next convinces the
administration that the only way to prevent the
"moral decay" of the student body is through man­datory
attendance of his Sand Hill Baptist Church?
Also slated in the article was that o/ic faculty mem­ber
and one student had also complained. This is
ridiculous. Why should one faculty member out of
hundreds or one student out of 15;000 be permitted to
dictate what is morally acceptable for everyone else
on campus?
There are apparently many more people who favor
the sale of these publications. (L E. Prater stated they
were the fastest selling magazines in the bookstore.)
Furthermore, these magazines are not forced on
anyone. People who do not favor these magazines do
not have to buy them or look at them. I believe the stu­dents
of Auburn University are both old enough
(legally) and mature enough to be capable of select­ing
how they want to spend their own money.
In closing, may I speculate that the reasons for
these three complaints is not based on moral
integrity, but instead on fear'.' For people who have
true moral integrity can not only choose what is right
for themselves hut also have the maturity to grant
this natural right to others, even though it nmy not
agree with their own.
On the other band, it is a person who is so unsure of
his own moral integrity that he would be afraid that
he couldn't resist temptation. Thus he must request
others to remove the temptation from his presence.

P.S. I hope President Philpott does not mind my us­ing
his terminology; i.e. "outsider."

Miss Auburnhopeful Debbie Ward,

The airplane evidently won some at­tention

Six register complaints
after ballot misprint
Six persons registered complaints
about the election ballot to the Elections
Board, according to the Director of Elec­tions
Pat Battles. "It was a question of
simple misprint. The numbering on the
referendum questions was wrong on the
ballots and we just didn't catch it last
night when we did the proofreading and
stapling." Only three of four questions
were numbered on the ballots.
Battles said that the poll workers were
notified of the mistake approximately 30
minutes after the polls opened, and "only
about 100 voters at most would have been
affected." Polls opened at about 8:15 a.m.
Another complaint concerned the dele­tion
of the letter "Z" on the ballot after
Zenith party members running for off-campus
senators. "We discovered that
mistake at about 10 p.m. last night, and
we told the poll workers to write it in on
their ballots this morning before the
polls opened," she said.
Several poll workers claimed that there
was considerable confusion about the
referendum questions. "We told all the
students that voted here to look on the
back for the Health Centerqu'estions and
that there were four questions on the
referendum," one poll worker said.
"Most of them didn't know what was
going on, though, and I don't think all
the poll workers told the voters what to
do." The Student Health Center ques­tion
was the only part of the referendum
that was printed on the back of the
mimeographed sheets.
"This was simply because of paper
cost," Battles explained. "We just
thought college students would have the
sense to read at the bottom of the page
that they were supposed to turn the
page."
The large vote to improve services at
the Student Health Center has cancelled
the idea of a revote on the referendum,
Battles said after totals were given. A
candidate for president of the School of
Agriculture was left off the original
ballot, but the whole page of the ballot
was retyped Wednesday night, accord­ing
to Battles.

The Drake Student Health Center does
not have enough efficient personnel and
also is working under a deficit budget,
according to Garth L. Jarvis, director of
the center.
Jarvis said that the salaries for physi­cians
there are not competitive enough to
get more good doctors. He also expressed
a need for better equipment and more
operating expenses for the Health
Center.
Jarvis said he feels that the Health
Center will be helped by the vote to
increase the amount of money for the
Health Center per student. The Health
Center has been getting $7.25 per stu­dent
from tuition fees. The increase will
mean an extra $7.75 per student making
the total amount $15 per student, if
approved by the administration.
Jarvis said the Health Center could be
renovated and it might be possible for
nine physicians, including the director,
to work there.
He explained that he was not sure how
long these plans would take, but
assumed about two and a half years.
Most other employes questioned about
the Health Center's needs due to a recent
memorandum given to them by Jarvis
which said in part, "Violation of
releasing confidential and detrimental
information may lead not only to your
becoming a defendant at your own ex­pense
in a court suit, but also: to the
termination of your employment."
One employe, who preferred to remain
anonymous, said that while Jarvis was
trying to control present infirmary ex-enses,
he purchased the most expensive
gynecological equipment, wbich is
rarely used.
According to Jarvis, he has had his
gynecology license since August 3,1973.
Jarvis said he sees gynecology patients
only on referral from other doctors in the
Health Center.
The employe said that for the first few
months of fall quarter, Jarvis did not see
the many women students who came to
see the gynecologist.
According to another employe, Jarvis
arranged for Charles Bohman, the busi­ness
manager for the Health Center, to
make the menues for a few months in
the fall rather than the Health Center's
trained dieticians because Bohman
could set up low-cost meals.
Jarvis denied this but refused to show
any of the menus made in November or
December, 1973. Instead, Jarvis showed
a menu from last January, saying, "This
gives a better idea of what we serve here
now."
Both employes said that Jarvis made a
rule that after 6:30 p.m., patients were
not to be given any food to cut down on
costs.
Jarvis said, "It is not our responsi­bility
to feed them (the patients) • after
6:30 because the cooks go home. We give
them their regular three meals per day."
When asked if a nurse might cook some
food for a patient after the set time, Jar­vis
said, "It's too dangerous. A nurse
may start a fire if she is called away on
an emergency."
According to the employe, it was once
necessary for one of them to go to a gro­cery
store and buy food for a patient after
6:30 p.m. because there was no one who
wanted to take the responsibility to get
food from the Health Center pantry.
Zenith Party wins 4 senate seats
For the second straight year, the
Zenith campus political party succeeded
in getting all its candidates elected in the
Off-Campus Student Senate district.
Elected on the Zenith ticket were Eddie
Holland with 2,675 votes, Leigh Ann Ste-gall
with 2,670 votes, Denson Lipscomb
with 2,078 votes and Ricky Ray with
1,943 votes.
Holland and Stegall pulled the top two
vote totals in the 10-person race for nine
seats.
"It feels great," Holland said after
hearing the returns." I couldn't believe it.
When they called my name first in the
off-campus race, I thought they were
going to say 'Eddie Holland was the only
candidate not elected.' "
Holland said the party was not quite as
strong this year as it had been last year,
when Zenith members were elected to
seven of the nine off-campus seats.
"What I'd really like to see," Holland
said, "is more than one party in the race,
Grimsley to edit Plainsman;
Langley wins top Glom post
Rheta Grimsley, 3GJM, was elected
editor of The Plainsman and Doug
Langley, 3GSY, was elected editor of the
Glomerata Thursday.
Grimsley received 2,876 votes defeat­ing
her two other opponents Dennis
Bailey, who received 1,279. and Mike
Kenopke, who received 849. She char­acterized
The Plainsman as "a mirror
reflecting the world in which every
Auburn student lives.
"I want to continue to improve the
paper by taking an in-depth look at some
of the problems and phenomena fami­liar
to students," she said.
Langley defeated R. C. Dennis by a
vote of 3,433 to 1,543. Said Langley about
the Glomerata, "Large changes sound
good but are not feasible due to finan­cial
reasons and prearranged require­ments.
Concentration on detail makes
the difference between a good book and a
bad one."
"The small details I mentioned include
more careful attention to the happen­ings
in Auburn on the Auburn campus so
as to include coverage of anything that
has made the year a memorable one."
44 per cent voter turnout
largest since 1971 election
Forty-four per cent of Auburn students
turned out at the polls yesterday, the lar­gest
percentage since the student govern­ment
election in 1971 when 47 per cent
voted.
Some 6,105 students cast their votes as
compared to 5,332, or 39 per cent, who
voted last year.
Election results were announced at
6:30 p.m. by the Student Government
Association Elections Committee. Last
year the results were not available until
11:05 p.m. although they were expected
at 7 p.m.
Wednesday, Secretary of Political Af­fairs
Mike Smith said if everything went
perfectly with the vote tabulation the re­sults
would be released at 5:30 p.m.
Smith said the system used for voting
this year was basically the same as last
year's with some improvements. This
year the SGA had its own special scan
sheet and rewrote parts of the computer
program to correct previous systems'
mistakes, he said.
Smith said student mistakes on the
scan sheet caused some of the four-hour
delay last year.
if enough people run. I'd like to Fee a two-party
system."
Ray said the Zenith party has had too
much of a reputation of being an "elec­tion
party" and not acting as a party in
the Student Senate. Ray said he would
try to change this image during the
coming Senate term.
After the 1973 election , Off-Campus
Senator and Zenith member Jap Black
said the party would be meeting every
two weeks. The meetings, however, were
not conducted.
No other party was formed in the stu­dent
elections this year. Several Senate
candidates attributed this to the early
February filing deadline for office-seekers.
Spending
Candidates submitted a list of
their campaign expenditures with
the Board of Elections Wednesday.
Expenditures for presidential can­didates
were reported as: John
Davis, $15.23; Jap Black, $365.70;
John Wiley, $387.49; Ric Sellers,
$217.00; and Mike Waller, $384.53.
John Decker, candidate for vice
president, filed his expenditures as
$89.51.
Bill Abernathy, candidate for
treasurer, filed no expenses.
Candidates for editor of the
Glomerata listed their expenses
with the Elections Board as: R . C .
Dennis, $132.14; and Doug
Langley, $118.39.
Candidates for Plainsman
editor listed their expenses as:
Rheta Grimsley, $58.50; Mike
Kenopke filed no expenses; and
Dennis Bailey filed no expenses.
Miss Auburn candidates listed
their expenses as: Debbie Ward,
$188.06; Sarah Howard, $156.48;
Cecily Hornick, $176.62; and
Virginia Martin, $195.60.
The spending limit for student
government executive positions is
$400 and the limit for publications
posts and Miss Auburn is $200.
Two other Health Center employes
said they would like to say what goes on
in the Health Center but felt they had
better not.
JDr. Oswald Burkart, a physician at
the Health Center, explained the need for
confidentiality saying, "A staff cannot
function openly withoufr strain or stress.
There is a great4eaLpfpressure involved
when a staff is constantly under public
scrutiny." Burkart said that if anyone
has a legitimate complaint, he feels Jar­vis
is willing to discuss it with them.
Jarvis explained the need for employe
confidentiality. "It's largely because
they don't know what they're talking
about."
Jarvis discussed his position as direc­tor
and said it involved mostly adminis­trative
work. He said, however, that the
director needs to be a medical doctor to
oversee the total situation.
Burkart said he feels that Jarvis has
enough to do in dealing with the
administration and, therefore, Jarvis
has less time for actual medical duties.
Jarvis said, furthermore, that Dr.
Robert E. Walsh is resigning, which
leaves three doctors and Jarvis to take
care of the needs of about 15,000 stu­dents.
According to Mike Wright, member of
the Student Health Committee, there
have been few complaints about the
Health Center this year except about ser­vice.
Rhett E. Riley, business manager and
treasurer for the University, said an
increase in tuition might be necessary
because the money from the present tui­tion
is already committed in the Univer­sity
budget.
Riley said $150 of the $175 in-state-tuition
is used for maintenance of Uni­versity
facilities and for faculty salaries.
The other $25 is for student-related acti­vities,
including the athletic fee, the stu­dent
activity fee, student union acti­vities
and $7.25 for health services.
Riley would not give a more detailed
account of where tuition money goes
because, "We just do not make a habit of
giving out certain figures. They may be
misused and misinterpreted."

Search for depth starts
as spring training begins
-Glen Brady
TIGERS GET READY FOR ANOTHER SEASON
. . . Spring training s t a r t s Monday
By Carolyn Roop
Assistant Sports Editor
The 24th annual spring
football practice for. the
Auburn Tigers will get under
way on Monday, April 15.
Among the prime considera­tions
will be replacemenos for
such outstanding seniors as
Bill Luka, Bob and Bill New­ton,
Steve Taylor, Benny Siv-ley,
Roger Mitchell, Roger
Pruett, Rusty Fuller, and
David Langner.
According to head football
coach "Shug" Jordan, "We
accomplished a great deal
during our winterized part of
the program.. Wayne Mur­phy,
our coliseum manager,
worked with our boys, in
essence, teaching them how
to run. We did weight lifting to
develop strength, distance
running for endurance, and
sprints. Right now the boys
are running in the afternoons
to build up for spring prac­tice."
The practices will actually
begin on April 16 and con­tinue
for four days a week cul­minating
in the traditional A-Day
game on May 18.
18.
Perhaps the biggest con­test
will be that for quarter­back
with Clyde Baumgart-ner,
Phil Gargis, Randy
Walls, and Chris Vacarella
vying for the piloting posi­tion.
"In the last few minutes
of the Alabama game and in
the Sun Bowl, Gargis had
some good moments and gave
us hope. So does Clyde Baum-gartner.
We tried to keep from
using Clyde last year to allow
him to develop and mature
and we feel he's ready to play
this year,' stated Jordan.
Then, of course, there's
Randy Walls, who's back
with sheer determination to
be the Randy Walls of 72, and
Chris Vacarella who gave
some fine performances
during the season."
One of the most important
losses will be that of Roger
Pruett, punter for the War
Eagles, and Jordan will be
looking at five prime con­tenders
for the position. Clyde
Baumgartner and Chris
Vacarella punted in high
school and Randy Walls has
been worked as a back-up
punter since coming to
Auburn. Steve Trucks, who
was injured last season, has a
fine reputation as a punter at
Marion Institute. Safety Mike
Fuller will alsb be given a
chance to see what he can do.
Chris Wilson, who has been
kick-off man for two seasons,
will probably replace Pruett'
as the place-kicker.
Another thing the Tigers
will be concentrating on is
depth, especially in the defen­sive
secondary and running
backs. Safety Mike Fuller will
be back and Jordan con­siders
him "one of the best at
that position." Others having
experience in the secondary
are Jim McKinney, who
started last season, and Bruce
Evans.
Rusty Fuller is the only run­ning
back being lost to gra­duation.
Returning will be
Sedrick Mclntyre, Sullivan
Walker, Harry Ward, Mitzi
Jackson, and Rick Harbuck.
Injuries, which hampered
several key players during the
'73 season, have carried over
to spring practice. Mike
Flynn, senior linebacker, is
recovering from knee surgery
as is running back Mitzi Jack­son
and sophomore rover
Raymond Phagan. Tight end
Rob Spivey suffered a broken
leg in the Sun Bowl and Billy
Bruce, another tight end, had
post-season arm surgery and
will be doing limited work.
The '74 spring practice will
alsb see several position
changes. Steve Stanaland,
who started most of the '73
season at offensive tackle,
will move to 'defensive tackle.
Linebacker Kenny Burks will
try running back. Senior tight
end Mike Gates will start
spring at wingback and Dan
Nugent who divided his time
between fullback and tight
end last year will also be a
tight end this spring.
Defensively, Holley Cald­well
has been moved from end
to tackle. Carlos Hart, who
has played at offensive guard
and defensive end, will move
to linebacker. Bill Evans, who
started six games at offen­sive
guard as a freshman last
season will start out a defen­sive
tackle this spring.
Several sophomores will see
see two-way actipn. Some of
these are: Danny Arnold RB-DB,
David Elder WB-DB, Jim
Patton SE-DB, Glen Ward
QB-DB, Joe Yeaman OC-DE,
Arnold Abreu OT-DT, and
Lee Hanson RB-LB. Junior
letterman Rick Neel will also
go two ways at running back
and in the defensive secon­dary.
"We're going to work with
the Veer-T offense because we
think we have the personnel
for it," Jordan says. "We have
some running harks with
quickness, .although there is
not a lot of depth there. Our
quarterbacks are suited for
this type offense and our
young line of last year should
adapt to it well."
"Of course, the Veer is a
high risk offense and we are
going to try and eliminate
turnovers'and bad plays. In
Gargis, Walls, Vacarella, and
Baumgartner, we think we
have the quarterbacks who
can read the defense, run well
and throw well," said Jordan.
"I have good feelings about
our football team this fall,"
Jordan continued. "It may be
presumptuous to say. that
before spring practice has
begun but it is based on the
dedication and fine morale of
the players. They didn't like
losing those five games
during the season."
"I think I can speak for the
coaching staff in saying that
we're all ready to get back on
the right road—not that we
were far off the road. We're
just hoping for good weather
to develop continuity," Jor­dan
concluded.

Pitchers show promise as Tigers win games
Spring thoughts
Last year about this time the Auburn Tiger football team
was facing a spring training after one of the most satisfying
seasons in their history. This year, however, they are faced
with rebuilding a mediocre 6-6 team that started off slow and
then completely fell apart at the end of the season.
Last year around this time coach Jordan and his crew faced
the problem of finding a strong offensive line and replacing
the kicking game hurt by the losses of standouts Gardner Jett
and David Beverly.
Neither the offensive line nor the kicking game was any­thing
to brag about last year and what little there was is now
gone, so it seems the Tiger coaches are now faced with the
same problem as last year. They did have some talent on the
line in young Bill Evans and Steve Stanaland but they are
being tried at defense this spring.
Last year Auburn ended the spring with what the coaches
felt was one of the best running back situations ever. They
had talented runners in Secdrick Mclntyre, Mitzi Jackson,
and Chris Linderman. But as they will, injuries came and
came quick and the Tigers were so short of depth that they
had to rely on a back-up quarterback and a defensive back to
provide the ground yardage. This spring the Tigers hope to
find that much-needed depth.
Last year Auburn came up with one of its most unproduc­tive
offenses ever, a main reason being they never knew who
the quarterback was. The position was plagued with injuries
but it also seemed that no one really wanted to take charge
and do the job.
This year the Tigers have several good candidates in Phil
Gargis, Chris Vacarella and redshirt Clyde Baumgartner.
There is also Randy Walls and although I feel he is an under­rated
quarterback I can't see him getting the call over the
others.
Of course, a new situation his Auburn last season and that
was a less than impressive defense. The Auburn defense gave
up over 100 points in the last three games (including theSun
Bowl). That too will have to be changed. It will be tough since
they are losing players such as Bill Luka, David Langner and
the Newtons, Bill and Bob.
There are a few bright spots to look forward to. One of these
is the return of Mike Fuller who was the nation's leading punt
returner and is a preseason Ail-American candidate at defen­sive
back. There is also Ken Bernich, one of the most under­rated
yet one of the best linebackers in the country.
The Tigers have the same coaching staff although most of
them are in new positions. Auburn has always had a good
coaching staff but I still expect to see the changes bring about
some good changes.
The Tigers are going to stay with the veer offense this year
and it's a good one. Houston and Georgia already use it and
LSU is switching to it this season. With more work and a
stronger passing game I expect to see a more exciting and pro­ductive
offense.
The Tigers are picked to finish near the bottom of the con­ference
this year but I don't think they will. First of all, there is
plenty of talent returning and a lot of good athletes from the
freshman team. It is just a matter of putting it all together.
Then there is coach Jordan and he always seems to come up
with his best teams when no one is expecting them. Finally,
another reason I think they will be better is because of morale.
A lot of emphasis, was put last year on the Tigers not having
the team leaders. I think this year some will emerge.
By Robert Johnston
Plainsman Sports Writer
The Auburn pitching staff
was perhaps the best it's been
all season last week as the Ti­ger
baseball team swept a
three game series with Mem­phis
St. and took two of three
games from Kentucky in
Lexington.
Memphis St. was no match
for the Tigers in Plainsman
Park. The only time that State
held a lead in the series was in
the first game which they
eventually lost 5-3.
Shaky defense and poor
starting pitching gave Mem­phis
St. a 2-0 lead before three
innings had been completed.
Howeveri in the top of the
third inning Coach Nix called
on relief pitcher Matt Waller
who pitched the rest of the
game without allowing an
earned run and collected his
first victory of the season.
Waller's no-run perfor­mance
was' followed by back
to back combined shutouts.
David May received help from
David Sullivan in shutting
out State 3-0 in the second
game, and Joe Beckwith and
David O'Hare held them
scoreless in the final contest
of the series.
The Memphis State series
was unimportant to the Ti­gers
where conference stand­ings
are concerned but the se­cond
game of the series was
most important to Auburn's
chances of winning the SEC.
Mark Hatchett, the Plains­men's
leading hitter in 1973,
returned to the lineup in that
game.
Last week Hatchett showed
no signs of his previous leg in-jury
as he drove in four runs
and collected key hits includ­ing
a game winning homerun
against Kentucky.
Auburn went to Lexington
last weekend needing a sweep
of the three "game series with
the Wildcats to remain in first
place in the Eastern Division
of the SEC.
The Tigers almost got it, but
in the opening game of the
double header last Friday, the
Plainsmen were without good
pitching for the first and only
time of the week and they lost
7-6.
Due to extreme cold and wet
weather the second game of
the doubleheader only lasted
five innings but it was enough
for Tiger batsmen to clobber
the Wildcats' pitching. It was*
also enough for Jim HancUey
to pick up his first victory of
the year 12-2.
The final game of the Ken­tucky
series belonged to
Davis May, the ace of the Au­burn
pitching staff. May
picked up his fifth victory of

the year against no defeats as
he allowed the Cats only one
earned run in nine innings.
As May's earned run
average dropped to a low 2.12
last week another Auburn
average was soaring upward
r>- the batting average of Ti­ger
first .baseman Gary
Dailey. "Gary's play lately is
one of the most pleasant sur­prises
we've had this sea-sbn,"
Coach Nix said. Dauley,
who usually bats eighth in the
Tiger batting order, collected
eight hits and six RBI's in the
last 6 games with Kentucky
afd Memphis St. and his bat­ting
average went from .259 to
.306 during that period."
"Our entire club's hitting
has really come around in the
past two weeks," Nix ob- •
served. "We've been playing
pretty good defense by avoid­ing
foolish mistakes. If our
Ditching becomes more con­sistent
we'll have just as good
a shot at the championship as
anyone," he predicted.
The Tigers are now five and
three in the SEC putting them
in a tie with Tennessee for se­cond
place. Vandy leads the
Eastern Division with
cord of five and two.

This is your key to unprecedented calculating
capacity. Only Hewlett-Packard offers it
It lets you "speak" to your calculator with total consistency, because
it lets you load data into a 4-Register Stack. This means: (1) you always
enter and process your data the same way, no matter what your problem;
(2) you don't have to re-enter data; (3) you can see all intermediate data
anytime.
Our HP-45 is one of two pre-programmed scientific pocket-sized
computer calculators with thjs key. That's one reason it's the most pow­erful
pre-programmed pocket-sized scientific computer calculator. Here
are three of many others:
1. It's pre-programmed to handle 44 arithmetic, trigonometric and
logarithmic functions and data manipulation operations beyond the
basic four ( + , - , x, -s-).
2. It lets you store nine constants in its nine Addressable Memory
Registers, and it gives you a "Last X" Register for error correction or
multiple operations on the same number.
3. It displays up to 10 significant digits in either fixed-decimal or
scientific notation and automatically positions the decimal point through­out
its 200-decade range.
Our HP-35 is the other. It handles 22 functions, has one Addressable
Memory Register and also displays up to 10 digits in either fixed-decimal
or scientific notation. It's the second most powerful pre-programmed
pocket-sized scientific computer calculator.
Both of these exceptional instruments are on display now. If you're
looking for unprecedented calculating capacity for your money, by all
means see and test them.

Three prep All-Americans
choose War pagle careers
By Larry Gierer
Sports Editor
Head coach Bob Davis once
said the key to a successful
basketball program at
Auburn is recruiting. If this is
the case, Auburn's opponents
had better watch out, because
Davis has just signed no less
than three All-American
basketball players over the
last two weeks.
The three players are
Wayne Bracy from Birming­ham,
Mike Mitchell from At­lanta
and Myles Patrick from
Macon, GA.
Bracy, a 6'2 guard from
Hayes High in Birmingham,
was rated, the number one
player in the state of Ala­bama.
He narrowed his
choices down to Southern
California, Alabama, and
South Carolina before choos­ing
Auburn.
Bracy led his team to the
state championship of Ala­bama
and was chosen the
most valuable player in the
state tournament. In the
championship game Bracy
hit 12 of 13 shots from the
field. His senior year he aver­aged
25 points and 9 assists a
game.
Bracy's coach Willie Scrog-gins
calls him "the best high
school basketball player I

Rifle team
captures title
By Phillip Gentry
Plainsman Sports Writer
The Auburn Rifle team
finished their season March
9th as champions of the
Southeern Division of the
Alabama Collegiate Rifle As­sociation.
The rifle team
finished the season with a 9-4
overall record, 5-1 in the
A.C.R.A., and tied with Geor­gia
for 4th in the SEC with a 4-
3 Conference record.
Auburn went undefeated in
the A.C.R.A. against teams
from the University of South
Alabama, Marion Institute,
Spri.nghill College, and
Tuskegee Institute before los­ing
to Alabama in a shoot-off
to decide the All-Alabama
Championship. The team had
beaten Alabama once before
in SEC action and ranked
above 6th place Bama in the
final SEC standings.
rently has the best • confer­ence
throw this season (172)
could manage only a 168-VA
effort. In the 40 inter­mediate
hurdles, Auburn's
Danny Smith posted a win
over teammate Charles
Frazier. Smith's time was
53.2, while Frazier was
clocked in 54.4. The triple
jump was the only other event
that the Tigers could manage
a one-two finish. Team
captain Jerry Wooden jumped
47-'/2 to edge out teammate
Jeff Jeff Sellers at 46-ll'/i.
The Tiger's mile relay team,
made up of Ed Heitner, Phil
Maddox, Charlie Frazier, and
Randy Brown, won the event
in 3:18.7. Tennessee was
second in 3:19.2. While
Auburn's thinclads made
short work of Miami,
Tennessee utilized their great
depth to completely dominate
most events. The 3,000 meter
steeplechase, the mile run,
and the 100 yard dash were
swept by the Tennessee com­petitors,
with the first three
placers going to the Vols in
those three events. The
Tiger squad will be split this
weekend, with some mem­bers
journeying west to
Austin, Texas for the Texas
relays, while other members
of the squad will compete in
the Troy State Relays in Troy.
Auburn returns home to
Wilbur Hutsell Track on the
20th of April to meet Florida
head on in a dual meet begin­ning
at 1:30. The following
weekend, Auburn will travel
to the much-heralded Penn
Relays at Franklin Field in
Philadelphia, PA, one of the
country's oldest and most
respected relay meets.

have ever seen. Wayne is a
take-charge guy who does
everything without any appa­rent
effort."
"We are very fortunate to
get a player of Wayne's cali­ber
to join our program. We
feel he's the best player in
Alabama this year and he will
be a tremendous asset to our
team."
"Wayne is a complete
player," coach Davis said.
"He's a floor leader and does
whatever it takes to win. He
simply gets the job done. He
has a fine outside shot but he
can also take the ball to the
basket with the best of them.
Bracy has been named to
the all-tournament team in
every tournament since he
became a starter in the ninth
grade. He is expected to make
a strong bid for the starting
guard spot across from Eddie
Johnson.
Myles Patrick from Macon,
who was recently selected as
one of the top 30 high school
players in the nation by
Parade magazine, has also
sighed with the Tigers,
i
Patrick, rated as the num­ber
two player in the state of
Georgia by The Atlanta Jour­nal
and the Louisville Cour­ier,
led Southwest High
School to a 74-8 record during
his three-year career there.
The 6'7 215 pound center
averaged 22 points and 20 re­bounds
a game and was heav­ily
recruited by such teams as
Clemson, Maryland, South
Carolina, and every team in
the Southeastern Confer­ence.
'
"Myles has enough talent
that any school in the coun­try
would be glad to have
him," said coach Davis. "Pat­rick
wanted to stay close to
home and liked Auburn. He is
super-strong and is the big
rebounder we've been look­ing
for to play underneath.
His best asset is that he hand­les
himself well inside and
plays a tough game around
the basket."
Patrick's high school coach
Don Richardson calls Pat­rick
"an athlete who always
seems to get the key rebound,
the key basket. The tougher
the game gets, the tougher he
gets. Myles has attributes to
enhance anybody's pro­gram."
Perhaps, however, the best
of the lot is Mike Mitchell
from Price High in Atlanta.
Mitchell is the second Price
High star to come to Auburn,
the first being Gary Redding.
Mitchell has made every
prep all-america team in the
country including Basketball
Weekly's first unit. Parade
magazine rated him as the
best forward in the country
although he played mostly
center for Price High. Mitch­ell
averaged 28 points and 24
rebounds a game.
Mitchell, 6'8, 215 pounds
and described by his coach as
still a "growing boy," was
rated by the Atlanta news­papers
as the number one
player in the state of Georgia.
"I guess everyone in Ameri­ca
that had a recruiting list
talked to Mike," said Davis.
"He's one of the most highly
sought after players Auburn
has ever signed. I think
Auburn is extremely for­tunate
to get a person of his
caliber. Mike has had an
excellent background and
should really help our pro­gram."
Mitchell's high school
coach Bob Pritchett said
about Mitchell," He hasn't
even reached his potential
yet. He's only been playing
basketball about three years
but he's a hard worker and
has come a long way"
The Auburn basketball
recruiting is off to a good start
and with three scholarships
left Davis is still going strong,
after more top players includ­ing
a seven-footer from Chi­cago.
Swimming class
Swimming lessons for beginners, advanced begin­ners
and intermediates will be offered this quarter by
