$17,108 unappropriated from activity fund
By Steele Holman
Plainsman Staff Writer
No use for a $17,108.16 student activ­ity
fund surplus has been found yet, ac­cording
to Bill Alvis, chairman of the
Student Senate Budget and Finance
Committee.
The surplus arose in spring quarter
1972 when the Student Senate al­located
$312,926.61 of the $330,034.77
available for projects funded by Stu­dent
Activities fees.
The Budget and Finance Committee
has no immediate plans for spending
the money, Alvis said. Alvis had in­structed
the committee members to
think about possible uses for it during
the summer.
"We don't want to jump in and spend
it just because we've got it," he siid.
The committee said it is open to sug­gestions
from students on possible uses
for the money.
If the money is not spent before
spring, it will be combined with the stu­dent
activities fees and made available
for the 1974 allocations, as stated in the
Student Government Association Code
of Laws.
The surplus is presently in the Stu­dent
Activities Fund account, along
with a $15,000 reserve fund. The sur­plus
is not drawing interest.
"We don't invest this as a rule be­cause
it is liable to be allocated on short
notice," said Rhett Riley, University
business manager.
When asked why the surplus funds
were not allocated to campus organiza­tions,
Alvis replied, "It wasn't needed,
primarily. Simply because we have it is
no reason to spend it."
Despite the resulting $17,108 sur­plus,
several projects received cuts
intheir proposed allocations
The Associated Women Students re­quested
$8,875 for the 1973-74 fiscal
year; they were allocated $6,250. Alvis
said the reason for the AWS cut is that
they are paying freshman advisers in
the dorms.
This service is provided by the Uni­versity
to the men's dorms. The AWS
was advised by the committee to work
through the SGA to obtain University
funding for this project, Alvis said.
The AWS also had asked for funds
which would be set aside for projects,
but no projects were named, according
to Alvis.
The AWS was told if it came up with
specific projects, the budget committee
would consider funding it from the sur­plus,
he said. The $6,250 allocation was
a decrease of $162.50 from the previous
year's $6,412.50 AWS budget.
The men's recreation and intra­mural
sports association's allocation
request was reduced from $31,230.91 in
1972-73 to $31,000 for 1973-74. Several
campus organizations receive their
funding under this general heading.
The committee said it felt the associa­tion
was at its saturation point as far as

Health center to begin using new YD test
By Mike Kenopke
Assistant News Editor
Sept. 27, the Student Health Center
received the latest and most reliable
gonococcus (the bacteria that causes
gonorrhea) culture medium called the
Thayer Martin Medium, according to
Garth E. Jarvis, health center director.
Previously, the tests used by the
health center to detect venereal disease"
were not 100 per cent effective, Jarvis
said.
"With the new culture medium, the
sample is taken from the patient, it is
then cultured and the culture is sent to
the School of Veterinary Medicine to be
incubated," he said.
After the culture is incubated, it is
sent to the State Health Department to
be analyzed. The results then are
returned to the health center," Jarvis
explained.
Jarvis said he did not have any
statistics on the percentage of times the
old culture medium, called the Cho­colate
Auger Medium, failed to detect
venereal disease, but he estimated the
chances were fair to remote. "The
Chocolate Auger Medium was the
best available medium in its time," Jar­vis
said.
Jarvis also said there are new visit­ing
hours and a new student excuse
policy in effect at the health center.
Under the new visiting hours,
patients who are able to walk about
may have visitors in the lounge area
from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Visitors may visit
at the bedside from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. and
from 7 to 8 p.m.
The visitation hours apply to all
patients whether single or married.
The nurse in charge will be in author­ity
when a physician is not present.
Under the new student excuse policy,
the health center is discontinuing stu­dent
excuses for patients confined to
the health center and is sending a list of
all patients to the deans of each school,
Jarvis said.
Jarvis said all patients visiting the
health center must get an excuse slip
from the clerk at the time they register,
sign their name and have it stamped by
the clerk. He said students cannot
obtain excuses on a later date.
Philpott will meet with the concert
promoters later this quarter when they
will be in Auburn.
Plans are being considered to have a
a concert by the Grateful Dead on Dec.
5, according to James E. Foy, dean of
student affairs and a member of the
Social Life Committee. This will give
the promoters an idea of whether or not
the larger concert will be worth while,
he said.
Tentative plans for a spring quarter
concert by the two rock groups were ve­toed
by Philpott between quarters. The
Social Life Committee previously had
approved a stadium concert.
The committee unanimously passed
a proposal last Thursday requesting
that Philpott meet with Cornucopia's
promoters.
Members of the committee saw
several problems with a concert pro-cuction
in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
The main objection was sitting on
and crushing the grass, said Fred
Harris, entertainment director. The
promoter has agreed to re-sod the foot­ball
field, he said, and put down a
plastic tarp if necessary.
Another objection was the possibi­lity
of glass getting on the field. The
late afternoon concert would neces­sitate
ample drinking water to persons
on the field level.
Harris proposed that plastic milk
jugs be used for water as an answer to
this problem. Police could be at all the
gates leading to the field to check per­sons
for glass containers, he sug­gested.
Security for the bands was also a
matter of concern to those at the meet­ing.
The promoter will be in charge of all
security , Harris said. Guards would be
on the field, and on the stage.
Foy objected to the lack of a written
contract, specifying exactly what
would be done by the promoter and
exactly what the University's part
would be.
Dr. Glenn Eaves, committee mem­ber,
expressed a reluctance to repre-

funding is concerned.
The committee did not make item
reductions, or limit the funds for any
particular sport organization. Instead,
Alvis said, it made a reduction in the
lump allocation and allowed the as­sociation
to determine where the
money would go.
Three organizations which re­quested
individual funding were
turned down by the committee, Mag­nolia
Dorm, the Soccer Club and the
War Eagle Flying Team.
Magnolia Dorm's bid for $1,301 was
denied, Alvis said. "When they finally
went away, they were not mad," he con­tinued.
Magnolia receives concessions
funds from the vending machines.
The committee said it felt the Univer­sity
was already providing services
elsewhere which the dorm was request­ing.
The Soccer Club asked for $650 and
the War Eagle Flying Team wanted
$750. The Soccer Club said it should
receive separate funds because it re­presents
Auburn in intercollegiate
competition. Alvis' committee said if
that is the case, they should receive
funds through the athletic depart­ment.
Editorial on this subject,
page 10.
They already receive funding under
the general classification of men's re­creation
and intramural sports, as a
sports club. The flying team request
was turned down for the same reason.
Alvis said if these groups had been
funded, then all the special interest
clubs on campus also would have to be
funded.
"We didn't want to give the impres­sion
of 'we have a gob of money; let's
spend it on something' We had a deep­er
sense of obligation for the students'
money than that," Alvis said.
Alvis listed several suggestions the
committee hs received for spending the
surplus. One suggestion is that a cover
for the Coliseum floor be purchased.
Some form of student financial aid is
also a possible use.
The possibility of using the money to
level the drill field to improve it for
intramurals is remote, Alvis said.
"This is a case for Buildings and
Grounds, using University money."
Another suggested project, a concert
also was termed unlikely by Alvis. The
committee said it does not want to
spend the money for such a short-term
gain.
Plainsman awarded 15th
kAll-American' rating
Leash law in effect; enforcement begins Nov. 1
Dog owners have until Nov. 1 to ob­tain
a license for their dog under the
city's new Dog Control Ordinance that
went into effect Monday.
The ordinance, confirmed by Mayor
James K. Haygood, allows a 30-day
grace period for obtaining licenses.
Licenses are available at City Hall
from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday through
Friday at $2.50 each.
Haygood said enforcement officials
are being instructed not to seize and im­pound
dogs until Nov. 1, except when
the dogs pose a nuisance.
However, the city may not be able to
enforce the new ordinance on Nov. 1 be­cause
until the new dog pound is com­pleted,
boarding facilities will be
limited and dogs may have to wait their
turn to be picked up, Haygood said.
Although owners could be cited im­mediately
for failure to restrain dogs
(with or without a license), Haygood
said it would be less confusing for
everybody to start enforcement of all
aspects of the ordinance at the same
time.
He said the 30-day grace period will
be useful for people and pets to practice
the restraint provisions of the new or­dinance.
The ordinance requires that a dog be
inoculated against rabies within one
year before licensing by the city. The
inoculation certificate must be shown
to the license clerk before the city
license can be issued.
For the convenience of the owners of
those dogs who have not been ino­culated
during the past year, and with
the cooperation of local veterinarians,
city license clerks will team up with vet­erinarians
to issue city licenses im­mediately
after the rabies inoculation
is given.
The license clerks will be at the Small
Animal Clinic at the office of each
practicing veterinarian in Auburn dur­ing
October. The complete schedule
will be announced as soon as all ar­rangements
have been made.
This will enable a dog owner to take
his dog to his own veterinarian where
he can get his dog's license at the same
time, saving himself a trip to City Hall.
Copies of the Dog Control Ordinance
are available at City Hall, at the office
of each veterinarian in Auburn and at
the Small Animal Clinic. A copy also
will be given to each person obtaining a
dog license.
The Auburn Plainsman was
awarded its 15th consecutive "All-
American" rating for the second half of
the 1972-73 academic year, by the As­sociated
Collegiate Press (ACP).
ACP sponsors critical journalism
judging services at the University of
Minnesota, evaluating about 700
college newspapers throughout the
country twice yearly.
The "All-American" rating distinc­tion
is the highest rating awarded by
the ACP.
To earn the distinction, a newspaper
must be awarded Marks of Distinction
for superior achievement in at least
four of five categories—content and
coverage; writing and editing; edi­torial
leadership; physical ap­pearance;
and photography.
The Plainsman received Marks of
Distinction in each of the five
categories.
ACP judges wrote "The Plainsman
always does a good job and this
semester is outstanding. A wide scope
of news is covered, features are interest­ing
and editorials are strong and
vital."
Suggested improvements included
more coverage of alumni news, cur­riculum
developments, classroom work
and women's sports and intramurals.
Mayfield resigns
from Student Senate
to limited time factor
Mike Wilson, vice president of the
Student Government Association,
announced the resignation of Married
Students Sen. John Mayfield to theStu-dent
Senate in their preliminary ses­sion
of the year Monday.
In making the announcement, Wil­son
cited Mayfields reason as being a
lack of time to perform his duty as a
senator. The time taken for his night
labs in veterinary school demands a
great deal of his time, Wilson said.
Women in dorms triple-up because of overcrowding
Off—campus living presents its own problems
By Melanie Brooks
Plainsman Staff Writer
The women's housing situation at
Auburn has reached the point where 20
out of the 24 on-campus women's res­idence
halls have triple occupancy.
Dormitories one through 10 and A
through J are the halls where triple oc­cupancy
was assigned. However, not
all of the rooms in these dormitories are
"triples."
According to the Department of
Educational Services, 2,940 out of the
approximately 6,000 women students
enrolled at Auburn this year live in res­idence
halls. Of the 2,940, 198 live in
triples.
Opinions of the women studens liv­ing
in triple occupancy rooms varied.
Gina Garber, Dorm 6, Glenn Hall,
said "I like it so far because there's a lot
of togetherness and there's not much
chance to get lonesome. It's pretty neat
and you have someone to eat lunch
with."
Alzata Carr, Dorm 5, Dowdell Hall,
said she felt her room was a little
crowded and would probably work out
better with double occupancy instead
of triple. Sharon Jordan, Glenn Hall,
simply stated, "It hasn't bothered me
yet."
Women students are allowed to res­ide
off-campus if they are over 21 years
of age or have parental permission filed
in the office of the Dean of Women.
While the off-campus housing situa­tion
in Auburn has been termed "tight"
by several off-campus agencies, wo­men
students find it even more dif­ficult
than men to find apartments off-campus.
Although, there is less off-campus
housing available this year than in the
past several years, some housing
establishments that previously ac­cepted
only men have been made avail­able
to women.
Various factors determine the num­ber
of women students living on-cam­pus.
One such factor is the reluctance of
parents to allow women to live in places
other than the residence halls.
Another factor is the need for auto­mobile
transportation and the fact that
not all apartment buildings and board­ing
houses in Auburn accept women as
occupants.
All these factors combined make it
difficult for women students to live
anywhere but in the residence halls,
perhaps in a triple room.

A precedent was set this
fall when a new girls' dormi­tory,
owned and operated by
two students, was opened for
residence.
William Gregory Dorm,
named after the owners, Bill
Perkins, 4PIR, and Greg
Wood, 3BC, was converted
from an old mens' dorm last
spring and summer by the
owners, with a little help
from some friends and
fraternity brothers.
The whole project is going
without a real plan, "so we
are trying to work things out
as we go," Perkins said.
They are trying several in­novations
not found in older
dorms, including a
swimming pool, study rooms,
a television room with facili­ties
to cook and iron clothes
and a 22-year-old housemo­ther.
Karie Kueven, 2VM, said
her job as housemother has
been a real challenge to her.
"I have learned a lot of psy­chology
since the girls
started coming to me with
their problems," she said.
Kueven said her only prob­lem
has been the weekly
women's dorm house­mothers'
meetings Mondays
at 1 p.m., since she has a class
then. "But this is not much of
a problem," she said,
"because I usually talk to one
of the housemothers after the
meetings."
"Dean of Women
Katharine Cater has been
very helpful," Kueven said,
"and I think she wants this
thing to work out as much as
a lot of other people."
Kueven said parents have
been very receptive to her
despite her age.
"I didn't have as much pri­vacy
as I would living in the
trailer I had last year, but I
like living in the dorm," she
said.
Perkins said when they
took over thw swimming pool
was covered with slime, and
had three shopping carts and
a turtle in it. He said they had
to pump the water out
because it wouldn't go down
the drain and they had to use
muratic acid to clean the pool
bottom.
The girls have been asked
for suggestions to modify the
dorm for their benefit,
Perkins said. He said he
hopes to try out some more
new ideas this year,
including male visitation if
Cater approves.

The Greek system at
Auburn seems to be looking

Thrower, rush vice president
of the Interfraternity Coun­cil.
Formal rush began Sept. 23
as rushees visited fraternity
houses and ended Sept. 25
with a larger number pledg­ing
than last year. During
this period of formal rushing
each fraternity was "open for
inspection" to all interested.
Rushing included parties
each night at each fraternity
house, skiing in the after­noon,
skeet shooting and
going to apartments "just to
talk."
Thrower explained that, al­though
many students pledg­ed
fraternities during formal
rush, the number pledging
during the summer was unus­ually
good.
"We were very pleased with
rush this year. I would esti­mate
that we have a 15 to 20

number who pledged last
year," Thrower said.

Occupation tax pay reduction rejected
By David Barrett
Assistant Copy Editor
Auburn faculty and staff
voted a strong "no" to having
the city's occupational tax
taken out of their regular pay
checks in a campus-wide re­ferendum
Thursday.
If a majority of the votes
had been for the pay check de­duction,
the University
would have put the proce-payable

now the city of Auburn will
have to count on the faculty
to send in the money them­selves.
An unusually high 60 per
cent of the 3,810 employes
voted in the referendum,
according to Dr. Ben T.
Lanhmam, vice-president for
administration.
The final vote was 1,600
"no" and 921 "yes."

Auburn gas pumps, along
with gas pumps across the
country, are sporting a new
decal signifying the gaso­line's
octane rating.
As part of the Phase IV
economic program, the Cost
of Living Council has re­quired
all service stations to
post octane ratings on their
pumps.
Octane is the numerical
measure of the anti-knock
qualities of gasoline, accord­ing
to James Hart, executive
director of the Alabama
Petroleum Council. More
specifically it determines the
rate of combustion of gaso­line
in a one-cylinder test
engine.
A rating of 100 means the
gas burns at the same rate as
iso-octane, and a gas rating 0
burns at the same rate as n-heptane.
Hart said the octane
necessary for an engine to
run knock-free is affected by
altitude, humidity, the type of
driving and the timing of an j
engine. Usually, the higher
the octane rating, the greater
the price of the gas, Hart
added.
Hart said the U.S. Federal
Trade Commission has tried
to require octane ratings on
gas pumps but is currently
involved in a legal battle to
find a satisfactory rating
system.
The best known system for
rating octain is the "research
octane number," Hart said. A
more accurate system of
rating is the "motor octane
number," where testing is
done at higher temperature,
he continued. He added that
the number now on the gas
pumps is an average of both
systems.
Under this system the
familiar 100 octane premium
would carry the rating of 95.
Regular gasolines will be
around 89, but the same gas
rated 93 octane with a is
research octane number.

'Academic bankruptcy'
runs into extra problems
Plans to institute an
"academic bankruptcy" sys­tem
at Auburn are at a stand­still,
according to Mike Wil­son,
vice president of the Stu­dent
Government Associa­tion.
Wilson said in an inter­view
broadcast of WEGL-FM's
"Perspectives '73" pro­gram
Monday night that con­tinued
research into such a
system has turned up unex­pected
problems.
Under "academic bank­ruptcy"
plans in effect at
other universities, any stu­dent
may declare "bankrupt­cy"
for a school term, remov­ing
from his record that
term's grades. "Many of us
who supported this earlier
are having doubts about it
now," Wilson said. An aca­demic
bankruptcy system
would allow students to "goof
off' all quarter and then
write off bad grades, he said,
adding that it would be hard
to separate legitimate cases
from these kinds of cases.
Academic bankruptcy had
been a point of many can­didates'
platforms in the
spring elections, including
successful candidates for Stu­dent
Senate seats, SGA Vice
President and SGA Pres­ident.
SGA Pres. Ed Milton, also
interviewed on the program,
agreed with Wilson. Milton
said a Student Senate com­mittee
was studying the pro­posal
and he didn't want his
efforts to overlap with those
of the committee.
During the interview,
Milton again expressed dis­satisfaction
with Pres. Har­ry
M. Philpott's veto of a pro­posed
stadium rock concert
by the Grateful Dead and the
Allman Brothers.
"Quality entertainment
just can't be put on at Au­burn
without outsiders com­ing
in to hear the concerts,"
Milton said, replying to Phil­pott's
argument thaji the pro­posed
concert would be de­signed
to appeal to large
numbers of "outsiders with
no interest in Auburn Uni­versity."
Milton said crowd control
and law enforcement pro­blems
at such a concert seem
great since they're un­familiar
in Auburn. How­ever,
he said order could be
maintained bv proDer use of
security officers.
Milton said he hoped
"festival" seating can be ar­ranged
for the homecoming
concert by "America," with
the audience allowed to sit at
random on the arena floor in
the Coliseum. Objections by
fire officials have blocked the
plan so far, he said.
He added that Social Life
Committee has requested the
University to seek a court rul­ing
to allow festival seating.
The Committee supervises
presentation of popular
entertainment at Auburn.
Wilson also evaluated the
work of the Summer Student
Senate as "mediocre" during
the 30-minute interview. Wil­son
said some summer sen­ators
as well as himself could
be blamed.

"The older I get the younger I feel. The night before a game
I used to go to meet with the alumni, but now I like to go to the
movies with the players. I want to laugh with them and cry
with them. They're my boys, every one of them."
It is this type of attitude towards the young men that play
football for Auburn that has helped to make Ralph "Shug"
Jordan the highly successful and high respected coach that
he is.
Saturday at 1 the formal dedication ceremony changing
the name of the stadium from Cliff Hare Stadium to Jordan
Hare will take place. I can think of no one more deserving of
an honor like this than Coach Jordan, the man who saved Ti­ger
football.
When Jordan left his job as head basketball coach and as­sistant
football coach at the University of Georgia to comelo
Auburn, he found a team that had won only five games in the
last three years and had even revolted against the food be­ing
a served the athletes.
His first season here the tigers went five and five and six
years later were the national champions. His record stands
at 158 wins and 70 losses. He has won the SEC Coach of the
Year four times and is fourth among active coaches m total
wins. The last four years Auburn has won 34 regular season
games and lost only 6. .'t;'•'''•'
Lastyear Jordan had his greatest season when he toofc a
team of unknowns, picked to win only two games, and
coached them to 10-1 season and a number five national
ranking. :S-Things
have not been all roses for Jordan since he cameto
Auburn. "I remember we had a 4-5 record going into theAla-bama
game in 1966 and someone decided to call a meeting in
Birmingham about what they were going to do to me. pt
Philpott who was also invited to the meeting w a s t ry
protective of me and I am very thankful for that.
"Now I caught wind of the meeting long before it took
place and arranged for some of my friends to keep me in­formed.
So, prior to the game with Alabama, my managers
kept in touch with some peopl e at the meeting and kept me in­formed.
One minute a boy would run up to me and tell me
that I was 'in'; the next minute I would hear that I was 'out'.
Things got pretty hectic. Well as you know everything
worked out, but the main thing I was happy to learn about
was that the alumni were concerned enough to want a top
football program."
While other coaches like Bear Bryant and John McKay are
doing television shows and playing in golf tournaments
Coach Jordan likes to take an afternoon nap and enjoy the
simple life. While other coaches like Darrel Royal and Frank
Kush have stories written about how the mistreat players,
Coach Jordan's players write stories about his kindness an
what a great man he is.
Every man who plays for Coach Jordan comes to know his
seven D's of success. He believes that football would not be
worth the sacrifice if it did not teach lessons about life. His
seven D's are discipline, desire to excel, determination,
dedication, dependability, desperation, and damn it any­way.
Jordan's career proves these D's do work.
He was the first SEC head coach to win 100 games at his
alma mater and in the past 22 years, Jordan's tenure at Au­burn,
Ole Miss is the only SEC team to manage more vic­tories
than Auburn.
Jordan not only coached here but the Selma, Alabama, na­tive
was also a three sport star at Auburn from 1929 through
1932. In fact, he was Auburn's most outstanding athlete
his senior year by a vote of the lettermen.
The coach believes in discipline but not carrying it to ex-temes.
"The athletic situation here is not as regimented as
one might think," he says. "We can be flexible. We used to
have two full pages of training regulations, now we have
four lines. We just ask our players to pay the price necessary
to play good football. And, for the most part, there's no pro­blem."
Coach Jordan has often said "Auburn is my cup of tea." I
would like at this time to congratulate Coach Jordan and tell
him that he is Auburn's cup of tea.

Stadium dedication
set for Saturday
Coach Ralph 'Shug' Jordan
By Charlie Rhodes
Plainsman Sports Writer
The past and the present
will be joined together by two
great names in Auburn foot­ball
history Saturday when
Jordan-Hare stadium will be
officially dedicated. Brief pre-game
ceremonies will honor
Auburn's present head
coach, Ralph "Shug" Jor­dan,
for his contributions to
Auburn University.
Jordan is now in his 23rd
season as Auburn's head
coach, and he will try to lead
the Tigers to their 400th foot­ball
victory Saturday against
Ole Miss.
158 of those wins have
come under the direction of
the man who brought Au­burn
out of the football
depths starting with his ac­ceptance
of the head coach­ing
position in 1951.
Jordan will join another
great name in Auburn athle­tics
from an earlier era,
Clifford Leroy Hare, as both
names will be placed across
the front of the stadium. Hare
was a physics and physiolo­gical
chemistry teacher at
Auburn for fifty years, and
also made a great contribu­tion
in sports. Hare played on
Auburn's first football team
in 1892, headed the faculty
athletic commitee, and was
president of the Southern
Intercollegiate Athletic
Association.
In 1939 7,500 permanent
seats were built on the west
side ot the stadium. Those
stands were cornpleted just in
time for the Florida game
that ended in a 7-7 tie. The
next year 4,500 were added to
the east side at the total cost
of 10,000. The 1940 addition
was completed just before the
homecoming game with
^Clemson.
The stadium was officially
dedicated in 1949, following
the construction of 14,000
permanent seats on the east
side. That addition replaced
the 4,500 built in 1940.
It was another homecom­ing
game on November 5,
1950, against Mississippi
State, that saw the stadium
rededicated as Cliff Hare
stadium. The stadium's
seating capacity had then
been increased to 21,500.
The idea of rededicating
the stadium was brought up
this summer and approved
by the Board of Trustees and
then passed by the state le­gislature.
In 1955 the west stand seat­ing
capacity was raised to
14,000 and the Auburn press
box was built.
The.south end zone was en­closed
in 1960 with the addi­tion
of 14,000 seats. Then in
1970, 17,000 more seats were
added, raising the capacity to
61,000. The south end zone
wooden seats were replaced
in 1971, raising it to the pre­sent
capacity of 61,261.
Vaught brings fired-up Rebels
to test angry Auburn team
By Robin Stone
Plainsman Sports Writer
Johnny Vaught's return to
college football was almost
too dramatic to be believed.
Drama might be a poor
choice of words though.
Vaught's return could stand
on the verge of a fairy tale.
Picture this. A year and a
half ago. Vaught was forced
into retirement when he suf­fered
a heart attack. Enter
stage left Billy Kinard, who
was hired by his brother
Bruiser Kinard the Athletic
Director.
After his first season, the
Rebels had finished 9-2 and
everything was roses. The
next year though, things
weren't so happy for Kinard
as his popularity dropped
with each of the five games
his Rebs lost.
After his first season, the
Rebels had finished 9-2 and
everything was roses. The
next year though, things
weren't so happy for Kinard
as his popularity dropped
with each of the five games
his Rebs lost.
This season, Ole Miss
opened with a routine win
over Villanova, were then
crushed by Missouri and then
beaten the next week by
Memphis State.
Full page newspaper ad­vertisements
purchased by
irate alumni asked for
Kinard's removal. The cliche
about Will Rogers never
meeting a man he didn't like
was put to use to, in the form
of bumper stickers. One said;
"Will Rogers Never Met Billy
Kinard."
Enter stage right, Johnny
Vaught.
After only one week in his
old job, the Rebs responded
with a 41-0 shellacking of
Southern Mississippi.
The return of Vaught has
given the Rebs an emotional
high that has been lacking.
The troops have been there,
they just needed a general.
The thrill of Vaught's re­turn
coupled with a big win
will present quite a few pro­blems
to Coach Shug Jordan
and his Auburn Tigers in Jor­dan
Hare Stadium.
Lnngner
Auburn star sideback
David Langner suffered
a broken hand in prac­tice
Wednesday and will
be unable to play for
three or four weeks ac­cording
to head coach
Ralph "Shug" Jordan.
Langner's left sideback
position will probably be
filled by junior Jim
McKinney. Langner was
also the leading punt and
kickoff return man for
the Tigers.
The Tigers coming off a 21-
0 thrashing at the hands of
the Tennessee Vols have the
problems of forgetting about
Tennessee and concentrat­ing
on Ole Miss.
Kenny Lyons is the man
expected to lead the Rebel
charge. A starter two years
ago, Lyons was sidelined last
year by a knee injury. His
specialty is the sprint out and
against Tennessee last week.
The two signal callers have
been alternating starting
since the first game of the
season.
Sullivan Walker, who
made the Tigers only first
down by rushing last week,
will fill the starting tailback
slot, replacing Chris Linder-man.
Offensive guard Andy
Steele who injured his elbow
last week will be replaced by
Lee Gross, a 6-3 224 pounder
from Montgomery.
Chris Vacarella, the much
acclaimed quarterback from
Birmingham has been re­lieved
from all tailback duties
and will now only concen­trate
on his third team quar-terbacking
duties. Vacarella
is expected to see action
Saturday.
Vaught comes into the
game as one of the winning-est
coaches in the South­eastern
Conference, winning
186 games, losing 58 and ty­ing
12. He is beginning his
13th year as Rebel head
coach.
the passrun option.
Running backs are no pro­blem
for Ole Miss. Last week
fullback Gen Allen rushed for
over 100 yards. The Rebs also
have two outstanding tail­backs
in James Reed and
Dan Murff.
"Ole Miss has a very under­rated
offensive line," says
Jordan. "They are much big-ger
than we are and last week
they really moved off the ball
as a unit. They have three
starters returning in the mid­dle
of the line and they have
been very successful run­ning
straight ahead."
"Last year they came out
throwing againstus and their
first seven plays were pas­ses.
Rick Kimbrough is an
outstanding punt returner
and wide receiver. They also
like to get the ball to their big
tight end Butch Veazey, who
caught two touchdown pas­ses
against us last year," Jor­dan
said.
Fire and rain spell dismal
day for sluggish Tigers
IT WAS A SAD DAY FOR AUBURN FANS
. . .Expresions tell it all
By Larry Gierer
Plainsman Sports Editor
Last week was "Beat
Auburn Week" in the state of
Tennessee and that is exactly
what the Tennessee Vols did
by a score of 210. Friday
night the Vol fans had a pep
rally with over 5000 students
attending and they burned a
giant paper eagle. Saturday
the Vols football team burned
the Tigers of Auburn and
even a drenching rainstorm
could not put out the fire.
The Vols who had showed
a leaky defense in their first
two games against Army and
Duke stopped up all the holes
and shutdown a rather unen-thusiastic
Auburn offense,
which only managed a few
plays in big orange territory
all afternoon.
The Tennessee offense al­though
not too overpowering
itself, didn't have to be as the
Tiger offense repeatedly gave
them the ball in good field
position with mistakes and
poor punts.
The game started off in less
than grand fashion when
Chris Linderman fumbled on
the first play of the game.
"We'd heard all about their
defense and we wanted to
show them we had one too."
"We were expecting that play
since they started the
Chattanooga and Oregon
State games with it. Out plan
was to make them fumble,"
said Hank Walter, Vol line­backer.
And fumble they did, eight
times to be exact, probably
the most costly one, how­ever,
came in the third quar­ter
when freshman tailback
Sullivan Waller fumbled at
the Tennessee seven yard
line.
"If Walker had not fum­bled
on the seven and we
scored, the pressure would
have been on Tennessee. But
football is not a game of if s.
Out visions of grandeur
ended and them we handed
ttiem a final touchdown on a
platter." said Coach Ralph
Jordan.
Fumbles were not tne only
errors the Tigers made, they
alsb threw interceptions. The
first in the second quarter set
up a Conredge Holloway to
Emmon Love touchdown
pass covering seven yards.
The second came in the
fourth quarter when Tiger
quarterback Randy Walls
passed the ball straight into
the hands of Hank Walter
who raced untouched 38
yards for the icing on the
cake.
The fact that mistakes
played such an important
part in the game is reflected
by the rather close if not
overly impressive statistics.
TheTigers had 41 yards rush­ing
to 106 for Tennessee and
69 yards passing to 87 for the
Vols bringing a grand total of
110 total yards to 193 total
yards.
The game itself was a
sloppy one even before the
downpours began, but them
it became a farce. The two
teams combined for an
unusually high number of
punts, 24, which came about
as a result of Tennessee punt­ing
twice on first down and
Auburn punting several
times in the third down situa­tions.
There was also a total
of 14 penalties totaling 159
yards which also nullified
some fine plays for both
teams.
About the game Coach Jor­dan
said," I don't believe we
could have beat Tennessee
anywhere the way we played

MITCHELL GOES UP WITH TENNESSEE RECEIVER

1 HI AUBURN IYJUN6*UN Thun., Oct. 4,1^73 page e
Freshmen serve notice
after win over Florida
by Charlie Cox
Assistant Sports Editor
If you are searching the
Auburn ranks for some sort
of proof that an offense
exists, then one has to look no
farther than the Auburn
junior varsity.
In Monday afternoon's 18-
7 victory over the University
of Florida junior varsity, the
Auburn baby Tigers rolled up
395 yards of total offense, 306
of which were gained on the
ground. This was due mainly
to the efforts of four fresh­men,
quarterbacks Phillip
Gargis and Pat Padgett and
running backs Ricky San­ders
and Mike Henley.
From the opening kickoff,
the Tigers drove 67 yards in
10 plays for the initial score.
Highlighting the opening
drive were runs of14 yards by
Henley, 12 yards by Gargis,
and 17 yards by Sanders.
These runs were not only
indicative of the first few
minutes but also of the whole
game.
With 11 seconds remaining
in the first quarter, the Tigers
scored the second of three
touchdowns on a 12 yard
pass from Gargis to tight end
Mitch Downey. This drive
took Auburn from its own 36
yard line to pay-dirt in 11
plays with a 27 yard run by
Henley.
Auburn's final score came
late in the fourth quarter on a
12 yard run by Henley. This
drive covered 35 yards and
was set up by one of Auburn's
three interceptions for the
day.
On the whole, Auburn's
offense was reminiscent of
the times when Pat Sullivan,
Wallace Clark, Mickey Zof-ko,
and Terry Beasley made
up the offensive punch
Although the Tigers didn't
pass much, both Gargis and
Padgett showed great poise
and confidence in counter­ing
the running attack with
short passes.
The running attack, lead
by Henley and Sanders, was
typical of the Auburn style
with hard inside running by
Sanders and off-tackle and
end sweeps by Henley, who,
in Coach Barfield's words,
"showed determination and
ability." Looking at No. 23
running through the Florida
defense reminded you of ano­ther
Henley named Terry.
The Tiger defense was no
exception to the type of
defense that Auburn fans
are accustomed to. During
the course of the game,
Auburn's defense halted
Florida's offense to 235 yards
of total offense by way of
three pass interceptions and
three fumble recoveries. Once
again you saw the type of
tackling that makes so many
of Auburn's opponents get up
so slowly.
Even though under the
recent ruling of the NCAA
that allows freshmen to com­pete
on the varsity level, this
year's junior varsitv is com­posed
mostly of freshmen.
Along with thefreshmen that
are on the varsity, many feel
that this is the best crop of
freshmen that Auburn has
signed in a long time.
Some might have for­gotten
that already playing
in varsity competition are
such freshmen as Chris
Vacarella, one of the state's
top prospects last year, Sulli­van
Walker, and Sedrick
Mclntyre, who scored the
varsity's first touchdown this
year. Along with Gargis, who
was the MVP in the state
high school all-star game last
year, Henley, who has
already shown flashes of the
style that earned his brother
all SEC honors, and San­ders,
this year's freshmen
may hold the key to con­tinued
Auburn success.
In past years it may have
seemed that Auburn's
recruiting efforts were turned
toward the defense. This year
the Tigers have not only
come up with its usually fine
crop of defensive players, but
also an exciting group of
offensive players that could
help the varsity tremen­dously.

Nix sees high finish for Tigers
By Rich Donnell
Plainsman Sports Writer
College baseball teams
around the south have begun
their fall practice, and with
some playing experience, the
Auburn Tigers may rank as
one of the best bets in the
Southeastern Conference.
Coach Paul Nix has taken
Auburn through a readjust­ment
period and.now has the
players he desires to take
Auburn to the conference
championship.
Last year Auburn played to
20 wins and 19 losses. When
asked what positions the
Tigers finished in the S.E.C:
coach Nix replied, "If we
don't win I'm not interested
and don't take the time to
remember."
"A year of aggressive­ness
and competitiveness,
will be out style of play." The
coach went on in enthusi­astic
tones," We fell we will
definitely have a better club,
how they play together and
how bad they want it will tell
the story. The Auburn Tigers
have enough talent and
experience to win it all," said
Nix.
Perhaps the key reason to
the championship goals
could be the experienced
youth the Tigers possess.
Last season Auburn started
four freshmen, two sopho­mores,
one junior, and only
one senior. The youth of the
team showed in the early sea-soi,
but as the team played to­gether
they began to win, and
hit a hot streak in the mid-season.
Two key injuries to
pitchers cost Auburn of any
title hopes but th team played ;
with each other, and how
should be able to put it
together for the next few
season.
The Tigers will be looking
to sophomore Mickey
Miller, senior Vic Sharek,
and junior Mark Hatchett for
hitting support. Miller
showed great batsmanship
in hitting .331 as a fresyman
list season. He was second on
the team in homeruns and
runs-batted-in. If Auburn has
a superstar he could be the
one. Coach Nix called Miller,
"All-S.E.C. material."
"This third baseman is the
sole of our ball club. He is all
work and has a definite shot
at making the Southeastern
Conference first team."

last season. Coach Nix, said
that Hatchett will be as good
as he wants to be, he has
natural talent.
Auburn will also be count­ing
on Curt Cope, Gary
Dailey afd Tom Morton for
support in the field.
The keys to the pitching
staff might very well be; Bill
Lawrence, six wins and four
losses with an earned run-average

QUARTERBACK WALLS LOOKS FOR A HOLE
. . .Holes were hard to find that day
Tracksters fall in meet
By Don Willingham
Plainsman Sports Writer
Last Saturday the Auburn
cross country team was de­feated
by Tennessee and
Eastern Kentucky in the
Tiger's opening meet of 1973.
Tennessee, the defending
NCAA and SEC champions,
scored 22 points as Doug
Brown outdistanced a class
of 31 over the 5 mile course in
the time of 25:37.6. Eastern
Kentucky scored 35 points as
Auburn had 81. Placing for
Auburn were Pete Van Ingen,
11th, Frank Ogles, 16th, and
David McKannan, 17th.
Coach Rosen was real en­couraged
with the perfor­mance
of his team consid­ering
they have had only 2
weeks in training. He said
that the times were better in
this meet than in last year's
conference meet, in which the
Tigers placed 5th.
With several tracksters
still healing from injury and
with the return of Clayton
Nichols, Coach Rosen feels
that the ctober 8th battle with
Alabama has defeated
Auburn the past 4 years and
finished second in the con-rerence
last year. The meet
will start on the Wilbur Hut-sell
track at 4:00.

OFFENSE WAS DOWN ALL DAY
. . . Linderman had tough time
Newton given Headhunter Award
By Walter Richardson
Plainsman Sports Writer
It seems as inflation affects
everything. Now we have all
seen the beef, gas, and gold
shortage, just to mention a
few. I was in downtown Au­burn
last week and had an
interesting conversation
with W. E. Rollard of Eco­nomy
Auto. Our talk covered
everything from the price of
licenses to the gun shortage.
Nowfor those of you who
haven't heard about it, a gun
shortage may sound like a
farce. But for those in­terested
in purchasing a gun
or those who sell them, the
situation is a delicate one.
For years the Browning
has been the undisputed
champion of the American
hunting scene. My personal
slogan is you just can't beat a
Browning. The Browning un­doubtedly
can take more
punishment than any com-
1 |
parible gun.
That's quite enough about
the qualities of the modern
flintlock, so now back to the
shortage and inflation. Most
of you probably know that
Browning is produced
abroad, to be exact the indus­try
is located in Belgium. For
years the Rhineland location
has represented a high qual­ity
standard, but now it only
represents problems.
The largest headaches are
caused by the devaluation
has caused the price of a
Browning automatic shot­gun
to almost double in the
last few years.
Browning's main stay has
been the automatic shotgun,
with constant prices on all
guages with slightly higher
prices for ventilated rib. In re­cent
years the prices have
risen from below $200 to the
$300 dollar neighborhood. To
make matters worse, the Bel­gian
Arms Company is cur-rently
on strike^ This strike
makes Browning goods al­most
a consumer impossibil­ity.
No company can continue
to raise its prices and main­tain
its percentage of the
market. Currently com­petitors
are producing
similar weapons at much
more popular prices. The Re­mington
1100 is considered
by some a better shotgun
then the Browning series.
Whether you consider a com­petitor
as good or better $200
is better than $300.
Browning currently is
making moves to combat the
situation. With the afore
mentioned problems in mind
they have made a decision.
Production is rapidly being
shifted from Belgium to
Japan. At the present,
Japanese production plans
include: 22 calibre, lever ac­tion
rifles, and side by side
and over and under model
shotguns. This move will at
least hold some of their
models at competititve levels.
However it's unfortunate for
the consumer that the stand­ard
automatic will continue
to be affected by the
European situation.
Ceremony
The Auburn Athletic
department would like to
remind all Auburn stu
dents and faculty to come
to the stadium a little
early Saturday so that
they can be present for
the dedication cere­monies
of Jordan-Hare
Stadium beginning at 1
p.m.
Senior linebacker Bill New­ton
of Fayette, Alabama,
came up with six individual
tackles and eight assists to
take Auburn's Headhunter
honor against Tennessee.
Defensive coaches grade
the films and the award is
made strictly for the most
tackles in a game. Newton's
20 points, based on two for an
individual tackle and one for
an assist, are a season high.
Safety Mike Fuller and
linebacker Ken Bernich, both
juniors, tied for second with
16 points. Fuller had seven
individuals and two assists
and Bernich had six indi­viduals
and four assists.
Rusty Deen, the Headhunter
the last two weeks, finished
fourth this week with five
individuals and two assists
for 14 points.
Overall grades showed
that the defense played good
enough to win most games.
The Vols averaged just eight
yards per completion and
gained only 193 yards in total
offense.
Eighteen of Tennessee's 21
points came after turnovers.
Last year the Tigers had only
seven lost fumbles all year,
but in three games Auburn
has lost eight fumbles.
Auburn's defense has
given up just 50 yards per
game on the ground anf is
holding opponents to just a
1.5 yard average per carry
rushing. The Tigers remain
unscored on the ground after
three games.
Falcon owner wants Sullivan
Owner Rankin Smith of the Atlanta Fal­cons
has ordered Coach Norm Van Brock-lin
to take former Auburn quarterback Pat
Sullivan off the taxi squad and activate
him for the home opener this weekend
against the San Francisco 49'ers.
Sullivan the 1971 Heisman Trophy win­ner
was expected to be the number one quar­terback
for the Falcons this season after
last year's quarterback Bob Berry had been
traded away.
During the pre-season Sullivan lost the
job to veteran Dick Shiner and was mysteri­ously
put on the taxi squad, not even
dressing out for the games. The Falcons
won their opener big 62-7 but since they
have not scored a touchdown in eight
straight quarters and lost two key games.
Owner Smith obviously feels that Sulli­van
might be the answer. "You might as
well go with a young boy," he said.

burn this year," explained
Arendall.
Although 571 girls have
pledged sororities already,
rush is still open to anyone in­terested.
A "wildcat rush" was held
for three days after rush
week, in which various soro­rities
picked up 23 new
pledges.
"This is the second year
we've had the three-day rush
and we've found that it's
quite successful," com­mented
Arendall.
For those still interested in
joining a sorority, registra­tion
for open rush is present­ly
going on and will continue
through spring quarter.
To participate in open rush,
a girl must register at the So­cial
Center. If she did not par­ticipate
in rush week, a $2
registration fee is required.
During this time the soro­rities
which did not fill quota,
or pledge the maximum num­ber
of girls allowed - which
was 45 this year - can have as
many rush parties as desired.
"Open rush" applies to five
sororities, since nine of the 14
filled quota.
Rush week consisted of
seven days in which rushees
evaluated the sororities as
the sororities searched for the
girls they wished to call their
"sisters."
During the first two days of
"ice water teas," nervous
rushees hiked up and down
hills as they visited the 14
sororities on campus.
Each sorority president
gave a short explanation of
different aspects of Greek
life, including alumni rela­tions,
social functions and
Panhellenic.
However, at the end of
these two days, tired, con­fused,
and full of ice water,
the rushees had little idea of
what sorority life was all
about.
The next day, labeled
"Light 'n Lively," was just
that—carefree and relaxed.
Each sorority sang its own
songs as rushees met more
sisters. Some asked ques­tions
about sorority life,
while others just listened.
"Color Day" provided an
opportunity for Greeks to tell
rushees about the more
serious aspects of sorority
life. Skits were presented,
slides were shown and sis­ters
sang songs about Greek
life at Auburn, trying to sell
the rushees on their sorority.
On "Theme Day" parties
lasted one hour, giving the
sisters an opportunity to get
to know each rushee
individually while, telling
her more about the sorority
through skits, songs and re­freshments
to fit each
individual theme.
The crucial day was "Prefe­rential,"
when rushees went
to only two parties, where
they must decide which soro­rity
they would join.
Finally came "Squeal
Day," when girls were no
longer rushees but became
pledges. On this day, which is
quite appropriately named,
one observer watched in
amazement as girls came
running from the Student
Activities building where
they received their bids.

Fog and isolation
When the fog sets in and shrouds everything
with its gray stillness,
it's easy to feel as isolated as this lone tree.
Friends and acquaintances may be nearby,
but we have no idea they're present
when the fog is there, obscuring their images
and muffling their steps.
There's always that certainty, though,
that the fog will lift
and the isolation will end —
eventually.

The Woodstock factor
Why Philpott vetoed the open-air stadium concert
"It would be a miniature Woodstock,
right here in Auburn . . . Our own little
Watkins Glen — think of all the people.
. . A regular rock f e s t i v a l . . ."
These comments and others like
them circulated around campus recent­ly
as students learned of a proposed
stadium rock concert featuring the All-man
Brothers Band and the Grateful
Dead. And much harsher comments
Bill
Wood
followed as students learned that Pres.
Harry M. Philpott had vetoed the con­cert
plan.
In comparing the proposed concert to
Woodstock and Watkins Glen, how­ever,
students hit upon the real reason
Philpott would not approve the con­cert—
the "Woodstock factor," it could
be called. We could define the Wood­stock
factor as that set of overdrawn
images called up by the presence of
hordes of rock-music fans.
In analyzing the Woodstock factor, I
won't draw any conclusions as to
whether Philpott was "right." But I do
think the Woodstock factor explains
why Philpott's decision seems at the
same time so stupid to students and so
well-justified to administrators.
Think for a minute about the visions
that would be called up by hordes of
rock fans descending upon Auburn.
Suppose promotion of the concert was
successful, and 50,000 fans did show in
Auburn, ready to boogie along with
several thousand more Auburn stu­dents.
They'd have come from miles
around, so they'd be looking for places
to stay. Since few probably would be­long
to the Holiday-Inn set and ac­comodations
would be scarce, many of
them would be camping in the fields
and woods around Auburn.
Most of them probably would be
colorful and freaky — "hippies," so to
speak.
Such a large crowd of rock fans
couldn't get together without an ample
supply of cheap wine and marijuana. If
they didn't bring their own, there
would be enough dealers around to
meet their needs.
Compound with all this the wide
news coverage such an event would re­ceive,
and add a little fear and mis­understanding
of the youth culture.
There you have it: the Woodstock fac­tor.
Thinking under the influence of the
Woodstock factor, Philpott vetoed the
concert plan. The objections to the con­cert
he raised—"outsiders' " presence,
damage, crowd control and law en­forcement
problems—are persuasive
only to others under the influence of the
Woodstock factor. The problems just
aren't as big as he draws them.
To see the importance of the Wood­stock
factor, let's suppose for a minute
that there were a mass concert without
this factor. (It takes a little imagina­tion.)
But suppose that next Tuesday's Van
Cliburn concert could be presented to
an audience of 60,000 and that the New
York Philharmonic had agreed to fol­low
the. noted pianist on the program.
Even if this concert had to be handled
by a promoter, do you think it would be
vetoed?
In this admittedly hypothetical case,
bringing in thousands of outsiders
would result in an outstanding
"serious"-music concert for Auburn
students and faculty. Philpott could
veto it only at great risk of giving Au­burn
an "anti-cultural" reputation.
Of course, that's not the issue.
There's no way for 60,000 to attend a
serious-music concert at one time;
serious-music fans aren't nearly the
flockers that rock music fans are; and
no proposal for such a "blockbuster"
classical concert has been advanced.
The fact remains, however, that a
plan has been proposed to offer Au­burn
students outstanding rock enter­tainment
by taking advantage of "out­siders"
who would pay to see the con­cert.
And certainly a contract can be
worked out with the promoter so that
Auburn University takes no financial
risk in renting its facilities.
In the absence of the Woodstock fac­tor,
Philpott's position is untenable. In
the presence of the Woodstock factor,
however, Philpott will do nothing else
than veto the concert.

Our opinion
Senate sits on surplus; students being cheated
This year's students are being
cheated out of benefits they're paying
for and should be receiving.
That's the only conclusion we can
draw from the Student Senate's
maintenance of a large surplus in the
Student Activity Fund. More than
$17,000 of the money students are pay­ing
into that fund has not been al­located.
This is in addition to a $15,000
reserve fund—enough to take care of
emergencies that might arise.
And there seems to be little serious
consideration of places to put this tidy
sum, only idle talk.
Several obvious places to spend the
money presented themselves during
the spring budget hearings. Several
student organizations—such as As­sociated
Women Students and Mens
Intramurals—took sizeable cuts in
their budgets. The money could have
been spent there, but wasn't.
Some student activities, such as the
soccer team and Magnolia Dorms, ap­plied
for their first separate student
activities funding in the spring. The
money could have been spent there, but
wasn't.
Instead of spending the money in
these places, or in any place, the Se­nate
chose to sit on the laree surplus.
The excess funds, if unspent, will be
carried over to next year and students
who aren't in school then won't have
received any benefit from their money.
Student senators presented valid
reasons for not funding organizations
that had never before received funds.
These organizations appealed to small
Tennessee takes top slot — for lousy fans
The Crimson Tide is number two. Yep, formerly-ranked
- number-one Alabama slipped a notch in the
ratings as Tennessee convincingly captured the top
slot with an unsurpassable performance against Au­burn
Saturday.
No, I'm not talking about AP's, UPI's or anybody's
football poll; I'm talking about my hate-list.
As I said, I'm not talking about football polls and
I'm_not_even talking about football teams.
Tennessee's 11 played inspired, if not excellent,
football. Their opponents from Auburn, however,
played as i f . . . well, I'll leave that story to the sports
analysts. Me? I'm a fan analyst. And when it comes
to fans, Tennessee has the worst I've ever seen.
For the record, I'm not against school spirit; to be
against school spirit at Auburn is like being
anti-Semitic in Tel Aviv. Also, I don't like to think of
myself as a sore loser—a bit stiff, maybe, but not sore.
Speaking of sore losers, though, the most sore Au-burnite
I know was one who was punched in the
mouth for hollering "War Eagle" on a Knoxville
street-corner.
The problem with the University of Tennessee's
fans that I saw was that they weren't ready to play a
football game with Auburn; they were ready to go to
war.
I detected the first inkling of the hostile Knoxville
atmosphere while trekking to Neyland Stadium on
the UT campus, when UT students lined up along the
upper balcony of.an apartment complex and hurled
unprovoked jeers at us in our blue cowbov hats.
"War Eagle!" we good-naturedly bantered, looking
up- at the instigators. The return remarks, however,
triggered a renewed tirade of personal insults from
above, the tamest of which was "Cow college, cow col­lege!"
We exchanged astonished looks and hurried
around the corner, followed by the shouts.
I was fortunate (?) enough to have an excellent van­tage
point for viewing Saturday's debacle. I was
situated on the 50-yard line where the Tennessee and
Auburn seating sections came together. Across the
aisle was the enemy.
As the Auburn Tigers poured from their dressing
room minutes before kickoff, the Tennessee cheer­ing
section booed the white-clad players. I admit that
Jimmy
Johnson
it is an Auburn tradition to chant "Tiger meat" as an
opponent enters, but there is a difference. "Tiger
meat" is a cheer which says in effect "Our team is
gonna eat you alive," and that is, at least partially,
praise for Auburn; it is not as derogatory or rude as a
blatant boo, an expression of scorn.
Nothing up to the kickoff, however, was as bad as
the behavior that ensued.. That was when the UT
fans around me seemed to turn animal.
The first kickoff, was to Auburn and the receiver
caught it on one knee, choosing not to run the well-kicked
ball out of the end zone. The fans next to my
section went wild as if the winning touchdown had
been scored which was okay, except most of them
turned to address their Auburn guests directly with
taunts like "why didn't he run that one out?" "What's
the matter with ya, huh?" "Your man chicken?"
These "cheers" were not aimed at the field but at the
visitors sitting not a dozen feet away.
It was on the first play from scrimmage that Chris
Linderman fumbled the football to Tennessee. This
drove the UT fans across the aisle into a belligerent
frenzy.
Some of them even jumped across the aisle to sneer
into the face of an Auburn alumnus who had been so
arrogant as to cheer for Auburn, "How 'bout it now,
buddy, huh? How 'bout it now?"
So it went for the rest of the contest as UT students
chose not to cheer encouragement to their team but,
instead, to run down the opposition in a vulgar man­ner.
I came away feeling not like a welcomed, honor­able
rival but like the follower of an unworthy team
which had miraculously hit the big time in past years
at the expense of the Tennessee Vols.
There was one bright incident, however, that saved
one iota of my respect for UT. I was sitting helpless,
exposed to the torrential half-time rain, when I felt a
tapping on my shoulder. I looked around to see a grin­ning
UT student proffering a black umbrella which I
readily accepted, surprised at the offer.
But overall their behavior, from my experience was
pretty bad, and next year, when the Vols come to Jor­dan-
Hare Stadium for the first time ever, I think we
should give them a lesson in hospitality by leaving
them alone and cheering wild, loud encouragement to
our Auburn Tigers while they stomp the frailing hell
out of those SOB's.
minorities of students, and allocating
them money would establish the
precedent of funding activities that
appeal to small minorities.
Senators' objections to fully funding
existing projects are on much less solid
ground. Budget cuts were made, sup­posedly
to trim the fat and see that stu­dents
would get their money's worth
from these activities.
That's a good theory. But how are
students getting their money's worth
now, with over $17,000 of it sitting idle?
There are at least two immediate
answers to this problem. The Senate
could ask for funding requests from
projects again, and allocate the sur­plus.
Or it could come up with a special
project to absorb the extra money.
The Senate has a rare opportunity
here. It has a nice chunk of money to
put into a special project. Many pro­jects
can't be undertaken because of a
lack of money. Well, here's a chunk of
money just waiting to be spent on al­most
any project designed to benefit
the student body, say, a tarp for the Col­iseum
floor for concerts.
Student senators claim to be "very
concerned" about public relations this
year, and they showed their concern by
setting up a committee that worked all
summer, formulating several good
ideas. But the entire public relations
program wouldn't be as valuable to the
Senate's image as the returning of the
$17,000 surplus to students in the form
of benefits.
We urge the Senate to act on this as
soon as possible. Otherwise, students
will, in a few months, be writing winter
quarter tuition checks—and a sig­nificant
part of the $6.50 they're pay­ing
into the Student Activity Fund will
be canned.
Will courts free our women?
The matter of women students' rules,
long a subject of attention and debate
at Auburn, could become a national
issue in the coming months. A lawsuit
charging that Eastern Kentucky
University discriminates against
women may be considered by the
Supreme Court in its present session.
If the court were to hear the case and
decide that to establish two sets of regu­lations—
one for men and one for
women—is unconstitutional, schools
practicing the double standard, as is
Auburn, would have to adopt new,
uniform codes of conduct for its stu­dents.
We hope that the Supreme Court does
decide to study the case, and we hope
that if they do, they will rule in favor of
Ruth Robinson, the EK student who is
the plaintiff in the case.
Perhaps the Supreme Court can push
Auburn and its Board of Trustees into
the latter half of the 20th century. With­out
the push, it seems that Auburn will
never admit that college women are as
adult as college men and should live
without restrictions as do men. They
may never realize on their own that
women are free to determinelheir own
moral standards.
Obviously, the administration of
Auburn thinks "its" women are too
weak-minded to do that.

Out-of-state tuition taxes
some of us twice: Why?
Tliurs., Oct. 4,1973 page 11 THE AUBURN PUINSMMj
The Auburn Board of Trustees took a
progressive step this summer, revising
the University's residency policy to the
benefit of some Auburn students.
Under the new ruling, a woman stu­dent
now may retain her residency sta­tus
when she marries an Auburn stu­dent
from another state.
Formerly, the policy had followed the
traditional common law theory of a
Jim
Lester
wife's legal residency being that of her
husband.
The board's decision was astep in the
right direction. But more could be done,
if the entire concept of out-of-state tui­tion
were re-examined.
Out-of-state tuition traditionally has
been justified on the basis that the
University is supported by the tax­payers
of the state. Therefore, the argu­ment
goes, those who have not contri­buted
to the school via taxes should pay
a higher tuition. But students paying
out-of-state tuition at Auburn still are
supporting their own state schools, at
which Alabamians pay out-of-state tui­tion.
This fact has been ignored.
If, for example, Alabama, Missis­sippi
and Georgia all are supporting
higher education approximately
equally, why can't a policy of recipro­cal
tuition be put into effect? The con­cept
of reciprocal agreements between
states is as old as the U .S. Constitu­tion.
It is applied widely in transporta­tion,
commerce and licensing.
Under an effective reciprocal tuition
policy, the cost to each state would be
equalized by each state sending and
receiving an approximately equal num­ber
of students. Since so many varied
factors influence students' college
choices, it is highly unlikely that any
one' state would bear a dispropor-.
tionate part of the total cost.
Besides increasing the variety of
selection for the college-bound, a reci­procal
tuition program would divide
the cost of education equally among all
taxpayers. Residents of any. state who
attend out-of-state schools are being
taxed twice since they are supporting
schools they don't use and also must
pay out-of-state tuition schools they at­tend.
The initiation of a reciprocal tuition
program would undoubtedly cause fees
in general to rise because of the loss of
revenue from the "double taxing" out-of-
state fees. However, the benefits of
equal taxation and improved variety of
college selection would surely out­weigh
the nominal increases in tuition.
Indoctrination
Teachers push liberalism
in the name of education
Most of the freshmen entering Au­burn
this quarter will graduate in four
years as "liberals," to their teachers'
delight. All too many teachers at Au­burn
will attempt to interject their
viewpoints into students' overall way
of thinking, in the name of higher
education.
College students all across the na­tion
can usually be identified with
liberal positions. Could it be that only

Assuming this is not the case, some­thing
must happen to students in col­lege
to make them lean to the left. Most
educators will say the higher level of
education is associated with the high­er
degree of liberalism, because intel­lectual
people are more conducive to
change.

Return to Peep's brings rude surprise to grad student
"Ah memories. . . memories," I
thought to myself as I opened the
brown door of Peep's, a small beer-pub
on the Opelika highway. "Many good
times in this place."
It had been many months since I had
last been to Peep's and as I entered, my
mind flashed back to the summer and
fall of 1972, and the vision of many
friends moving around talking and
dancing— the rhythmic vibrations of
"Wolf and "Zany Murphy"filling the
air around them.
But not this night, almost a year
later. People were sitting in clusters of
readers'
OPINIONS
was a bit calmer. "You've got to sit
down with that beer. The Auburn police
have begun enforcing a sit-down law;
you have to leave your beer on a table if
you move around.
"What? Since when?" I asked.
"Starting tonight," he said. "I've
been arrested twice already. So sit
down, OK?"
"Yeah, right." Feeling helpless, I
walked over to a bench and sat down
beside Marc McElhaney, former head
of the Auburn ACLU (American Civil
Liberties Union), who was sitting with
his beer, grumbling badly. But he was
no help at all, so I carefully
moved—hopping from one table to an­other
with my beer—to an end table to
talk to Joel again.
"I can't understand it," he told me.
"We've always tried to cooperate with
the police. Jesus, they've been in here a
lot and they've never even mentioned a
sit-down law. But this time Rothwein
and Sims just came right in and ar­rested
me—without a warning or any­thing.
That's an old law . . I just
didn't know."
The law itself—Title 29, Section 44 of
the state code—was passed in the 30's
sometime, amid the fervor of the pro­hibition
debate—kicked along, no
doubt, by the spirit of Queen Victoria.
And its rigid enforcement in the Au­burn
area now, in 1973, comes down
heaviest on. those bars that have a very
easy and nonformal environment, like
Peep's. . . and who don't serve tables,
seek tips and charge outlandish prices
for beer.
I left Peep's a bit depressed that night
and somewhat later I managed to get in
touch with Auburn Chief of Police Ed­ward
Blodgett. When I suggested that
twos and threes talking lowly, and only
a few were dancing. A slow night, I
figured.
I wandered over to the bar, ordered
up a beer, and started to walk across
the room toward the foosball tables in
the corner.
"Hey! Hey you!" A voice suddenly
screamed. "You can't do that!" Just as I
looked up, two hands grabbed me from
behind.
"Oh hello," I thought. "What kind of
nightmare trouble have I blundered
into this time?"
But the hands only belonged to Joel
Klein, half-owner of Peep's, who was
looking very nervous and shaky.
"Look," he said, and this time his voice
Philpott showing 'paranoia'
about outsiders, reader says
the whole thing looked like a hassle on
the casual bars, he said that nothing
could be further from the truth.
"But we've received numerous com­plaints
about places like Peep's and the
officers must use their discretion to
keep order," he said.
Which is true. There are so many out­dated
old laws on the books, if they
didn't we would all visit the jail for do­ing
things which are now socially ac­ceptable.
But the kind of discretion that came
down on Peep's is disturbingly re­miniscent
of the kind responsible for
the mace squirtdown I received at the
Republican National Convention in
Miami last year, simply because I was
standing on a street corner and my hair
was a little long.
And it must have been some sort of
responsible discretion that ordered
road blocks on every road leading to the
recent Graham Mountain Music
Festival in Randolph County, AL—but
none, as I recall, on the roads leading to
the bourbon-infested football game in
Birmingham that same weekend.
The police action against Peep's and
some of the other more casual bars
leaves a lot of room for wonder. . .and
it seems to boil dowrt very closely to the
same sort of cultural bias that got me
repeatedly pulled over by the Tennes­see
State Police a few weeks ago prior to
an aborted rock festial in Poke County,
TN.
"If you come through here again,
we'll put you in jail," one trooper told
me.
"For what?" I protested. "I'm doing
nothing.wrong."
"Well," he said, smiling up at my
white van. "We'll think of something."
Jim Redfield, 8CED
tion is only a higher level of liberal in­doctrination?
I think so.
A cerebral void can be found within
most freshmen, even though they have
graduated from our fantastic mind-developing
high schools. Most fresh­men,
living away from home for the
first time, have only their teachers to
look to for intellectual guidance.
At this time of life they are passing
through formative years and are sub­ject
to the influences and biases of each
professor.
Peer group pressure is another
important influence during students'
college careers. However, this influence
only tends to support the teachers'
liberal persuasion, because the peer
groups are subject to the same indoc­trination.
Therefore, liberal attitudes
and actions are always thought to be
the "in" thing on a college campus.
College professors always claim to be
proponents of academic freedom. How­ever,
most instructors seem to think the
route to nonconformity and academic
freedom is in conformity to the view­points
of their intellectual clique, in
which liberalism is dominant. The
average student not only thinks what
the professor wants him to think, but
the student is convinced his position
was reached by his own independent
intellectual action.
"National Review" supports the idea
that teachers are actually indoc­trinating
their students. For example:
"Does your economics teacher refer
impartially—or in any other way—to
the works of Friedrich Hayek, Ludwig
von Mises, Lionel Robbihs, Frank
Knight, Orval Watts, Wilhelm Roepke,
or to those of any other economist of the
non-Keynesian school?
"Does he take a position on right-to-work
legislation? Does your teacher of
sociology urge a particular interpreta­tion

If freshmen will ask questions such
as these at Auburn and elsewhere,
maybe they will not accept everything
the instructor says. The probability of
not becoming an indoctrinated liberal
is very low, however, as can be
evidenced by talking to most upper-classmen.

That concert
Wild Willie's glad that President
Philpott vetoed that stadium concert.
Why, just think of all the outsiders it'd
bring in.
They'd be makin' trouble, singin',
dancin', drinkin'— and think of the
kind of gals that would come . ..
On second thought, maybe that con­cert's
not such a bad idea.
It has been said that Auburn Univer­sity
is behind the times but it is slowly
moving forward. People who hold this
opinion evidently have not had the
pleasure of speaking with Pres. Harry
M. Philpott, head of the University and
protector of our morals.
Specifically, I am referring to a
phone conversation I had with him
concerning the Grateful Dead-Allman
Brothers concert he vetoed. To those of
you who don't know, Cornucopia
Productions would have handled the
booking, tickets, and security, and paid
for any damages to the stadium, and in
return the students would get one of the
finest concerts available and the
University would get money.
Fortunately, Pres. Harry M. Philpott
saw the danger in too many people en­joying
themselves, and vetoed the con­cert,
because, in his own words, "We
don't want none of them outsiders
coming in." If you talk with Dr. Phil­pott
long enough, you find that those
outsiders include Cornucopia Produc­tions,
the Grateful Dead, the Allman
Brothers, and the entire audience,
which is ridiculous.
Pres. Philpott is to be commended for
not letting the thought that students
might want the concert interfere with
his paranoia. It is apparent that Phil­pott
does not care about what the stu­dents
want, and does not want any­thing
on campus that does not reflect
his Southern Baptist backgound.
The only way to get Pres. Philpott to
respond to student opinion, is to give
him so much of it that he can't take any
more. If you want the concert or if you
don't believe that the president of a
university noted for Southern hospi­tality
would cancel a concert because of
a paranoid fear of outsiders, give ole
Harry a call.
You might suggest that we close
down the campus before the football
games to keep all those drunken out­siders
out.
By the way, the other team is com­posed
completely of outsiders. We don't
want them outsiders on our football
field. 1

Recent grad looks
to 1990 and what
would happen • . •
If the football schedule were vetoed
AUBURN UNIVERSITY, Sept 1, 1990—The proposed
football schedule for the coming fall was vetoed today by
University Pres. Cosmic Charlie (formerly' of the Fabulous
Freak Bros.) The schedule was to include five home games on
campus this fall.
The promoters of the games, including the Alumni As­sociation,
Student Government Association, the football
team and coaches, had offered to handle all situations that
would arise as a result of the crowds attending the games
such as traffic control, highway expansion and develop­ment,
restitution to inconvenienced and harassed Auburn
residents, supervision of disorderly drunks, etc.
/' ,?
The promoters assured the administratipn'there would be
no cost to the University and it would receive a profit from
ticket sales. Coz would hear none of i t ,'
"The reason we don't want this kind of activity on the cam­pus
is simply that it is no more than a violent waste of time
and it always manages to draw thousands of drunk red­necks
from all over Alabama. They always manage to clut­ter
the town and then leave it littered. It is impossible to get
anything done because the ingrates are everywhere, gawk­ing
at students on street corners, screaming 'War Eagle' at
the top of their voices and disturbing the peace in general.
We don't need these pigs with their money popping up in Au­burn
five weekends during the fall, trashing the place and
then splitting."
Auburn with its calm, peace and quiet doesn't need a mob
of half-crazed rednecks spoiling otherwise pleasant
weekends during the fall, according to Coz.
Promoters of the games said that they had been approved
by every other concerned interest in Auburn.
Coz insisted that every other concerned interest in Au­burn
simply did not have a proper grasp of the situation as
he did and that, "Fifty to sixty thousand drunk rednecks is
not what Auburn wants."
"We are not willing to allow what the Auburn student
wants in respect to these football games. The Ku Klux Klan
could show up in full dress for a game and possibly set that
crowd off into beating every freak on this campus to a pulp."
The schedule for this fall will again be discussed at a meet­ing
tonight by the football team, the band and a number of
alumni. The captain of the football team believes the sched­ule
will again be approved.
"This University will be run completely by me," con­tinued
Coz. He concluded by saving, "I hope we can keep that
bunch of rednecks out of Auburn permanently."

AU, 73 dogs to get
$9 million horn will
The dogs and Auburn will
finally receive $9 million
from the will of the late Ele­anor
Ritchey, Quaker State
Refining Corporation
heiress.
When Miss Ritchey died in
1968, her will provided that
her 150 dogs, mostly strays
she had accumulated at her
ranch near Ft. Lauderdale,
FL, would receive her entire
estate, at that time worth $4.5
million. When the dogs die,
the Auburn School of Vet­erinary
Medicine will receive
what was left of the estate.
However, there is a pos­sibility
Auburn can go ahead
and use the earnings from the
share of the estate the dogs
hold which is being held in
trust. The University plans to
ask the court for that author­ity.
After Mrs. Ritchey died,
two half-sisters and a half-brother
challenged the will in
court.
Seventy-seven of the dogs
have died in the last five
years and the value of the
estate, mostly Quaker State
stock, has grown to more
than $11 million.
Broward County, FL,
Judge Leroy Moe ended the
long legal arguments by giv­ing
$9 million to the trust
fund for the dogs and $2 mil­lion
to be divided among the
half-sisters and half-brother.
Funeral held for former

Mag-nificent changes within an old dwelling
By Rheta Grimsley
Features Editor
A new image for Mag dorm—impos­sible?
Dr. Charles Schroeder, director
of the only male dormitory on Au­burn's
campus, doesn't think so.
Four new television rooms, im­proved
recreational facilities, freedom
to paint and decorate rooms to your
own liking and future plans for a short
order cafeteria, sauna bath and weight
room are part of the things helping to
make Mag a more desirable place to
live.
"What we're trying to do is create a
positive image and promote a spirit of
belonging," explained Schroeder who
came to Auburn in July. "Of course the
attitude has been that only fools would
live here. But this year we are full to
capacity, and this summer we even had
55 on a waiting list."
Schroeder seems pleased to show the
improvements that he and his "crew"
have accomplished, but as he leads the
way through the sprawling maze of
hallways he gives credit to another.
"Dr. Harold Grant with Student Ser­vices
really took Mag as sort of his pet
project. I've just followed up on a lot of
his ideas." The joint effort has had an
appreciable effect on the image and ap­pearance
of the dorm. The bright car­nival
colors of the front hall are proof of
this.
A "tour" of the changing Mag proves
that Schroeder and his somewhat in­novative
projects are welcomed by the
residents. "Our pool tables and foos-ball
machines will pay for new carpet
for the se rooms," explained Schroeder
as he pointed toward five pool tables,
two foosball machines and several
ping-pong tables. "We're just about
self-sufficient," he claimed.
A new study lounge for all residents
of Mag Dorm will be completed by the
end of this month, according to
Schroeder. The room was redone with
money made by selling old furniture.
"We just sold some old furniture this
past summer. It was just in excess and
in the way. Instead of asking for a bid
as they've done in the past, we asked
like $10 for each bed, and made $1,200
as compared to the $200 we would have
made accepting a single bid."
Three floors of Mag Dorm are now
filled entirely by Engineering stu­dents.
If this joint effort by the En­gineering
Department and Mag in "liv­ing
and studying" is successful,
Schroeder hopes to establish the same
type situation for other schools. He ex­pects
the project to show that a cluster
of students in the same field benefit
from living together.
"We just don't assign rooms at ran­dom
here, but we base the assignments
on personality tests," commented
Schroeder. "In the past you answered
questions like 'Do you smoke?' and 'Do
you like the window left open?' and if
your answers matched someone else's
you were their roommate. Of course
roommate requests are honored, if
made."
Some of the halls Schroeder leads his
visitors down are the target of paint­ing
contests now being held by Mag
residents. Each floor or division de­signs
and paints the hall walls as a
joint project, and the result is a varied
and unique look for each section of
Mag. The first place prize in $150 cash
for the best decorated hallway, with the
only stipulation being that the win­ners
must spend their prize as a group.
Second prize is $100, and the best
decorated double room receives $100.
Several more far-ranging plans have
been considered by Schroeder and his
staff. A six man sauna bath and weight
room are part of his improvements
hopefully scheduled for winter quar­ter.
"We would let people join for about
$3 to $5 a quarter," Schroeder ex­plained.
"For this amount they would
receive the advice of a weight trainer if
they wanted it. The weight room would
be complete, just like they have in the
coliseum."
A short-order snack-bar, "not de­signed
to compete with the universi­ty's
cafeteria services," is another
"Schroeder plan" for Mag. "I want to
use more of this wasted space to install
a place where people could get some­thing
to eat if they didn't want some­thing
from the Cameo machines."
A washeteria, that Schroeder claims
"has been needed for a long time," will
be set up in an old, unused study room.
"We lease space to Maytag for washers
and dryers. That way they have to pay
us for the space, and they're res­ponsible
for the maintenance," Schroe­der
said.
Other unused
