Each dorm to have kitchen; hot plates to be banned in fail
By Greg Lisby
Managing Editor
Pres. Harry M. Philpott approved a seven-point
food services plan Wednesday which in­cludes:
—Installation of kitchen facilities in each
dormitory and prohibiting the "use and stor­age"
of cooking appliances in dorm rooms.
—Increasing of room rents $ 15 per q uarter for
students not purchasing meal tickets, and
—Reopening Alumni Dining Hall fall
quarter.
The plan, which was submitted by the Ad
Hoc Committee to Study Food Service Pro­blems,
recommended that the University in­stall
apartment unit kitchen facilities in all
dormitories which do not have such facilities to
eliminate "the health and safety hazards
created by cooking in the rooms."
"There are serious problems with cooking in
the dorm rooms," Philpott said. "The electrical
systems of the dorms are overloaded, creating
fire hazards. There are sanitation problems in
the disposal of cooked foods."
Philpott said that while refrigerators will still
be allowed, all electrical cooking appliances,
including popcorn poppers, will be prohibited.
"The cooking problem didn't arise until op­tional
meal tickets were instituted," he said.
In order to allow cooking in dorm rooms, all
dorms on campus would have to be rewired at a
cost of about $40,000 each to increase their
capacity to handle the overload, Philpott said.
"The kitchen facilities should be ready by fall
quarter and can be scheduled for use by dorm
residents or used on a first-come-first-served
basis," Philpott said. "Auburn dormitories
were just not built to be cooked in."
Room rents in all University dormitories,
excluding the married students' apartments,
will be increased $ 15 per quarter effective fall in
order to meet debt service requirements on the
dormitories and cafeterias. All dorm and
dining halls were built with borrowed money
and debt service funds go to repay building
loans.
The rents of students purchasing meal ticket
plans will not be increased because the debt ser­vice
requirement is already figured into the
meal ticket cost. If a student lives on campus
and purchases a meal plan, his rent will not
increase, but if he lives on campus and does not
purchase a meal ticket plan, his rent will
increase to cover the debt service requirement,
Philpott said.
The only other option avaliable was an
across-the-board increase in student fees, Phil­pott
said. "The Board of Trustees is pledged to
meet the debt service and We thought this would
be the best way to avoid reinstating the com­pulsory
meal plan."
A recent Associated Women Students survey
of 1,282 women students indicated that 48 per
cent preferred an increase in room rent rather
than a compulsory meal plan. Twenty-two per
cent of those answering the survey preferred a
compulsory meal plan and 24 per cent preferred
neither.
Fifty-eight per cent preferred that a la carte
meals be served in campus dining halls, while
37 per cent preferred a meal ticket plan and five
per cent had no opinion.
"The AWS survey of all women students
showed us that they did not want compulsory
meal plans and from the past year's experience
it is obvious that debt service requirements can­not
be met without a change," Philpott said.
"And even with the $15 increase in room rent,
University dormitories are still competitive
with off-campus housing." •
The highest rent a student could pay living
on campus is $160 a quarter and this includes
$30 for a private telephone in the room.
"Auburn dormitories were built with the idea
of compulsory meals," Philpott said, "and we're
having to make some adjustments to avoid hav­ing
to reinstate them."
Alumni Dining Hall will be reopened fall
quarter because "the students that would be
served by that cafeteria are presently not being
served by any other University dining facili­ty,"
according to the committee's report.
The committee also cited results of the AWS
survey indicating that, if reopened, "Alumni
Hall cafeteria should be able to operate success­fully."
Of 113 women students living in Auburn
and Alumni Halls who answered the survey, 81
per cent said they would eat in Alumni Dining
Hall if it were reopened. Sixteen per cent said
they would not and three per cent had no
opinion. One hundred eighty-three women stu­dents
live in the two dormitories.
Philpott also announced that the University
will continue to operate Food Services rather
than contracting with a private operator. "It is
our feeling that a private operator would
have to deal with the same problems and that
the same requirements to solve those problems
could be met as well by the University," Phil­pott
said. "Even with a private operator, the
University would still be faced with some
responsibilities, particularly with respect to
long-time University employes, but with less
options to exercise them."
"We found that universities who had con­tracted
with private food service operators had
many problems and are now moving back to
operating food services themselves," Harold
Grant, chairman of the committee to study food
service policies, said.
Philpott revealed that Food Services Direc­tor
Kathryn Rush will retire around Oct. 1,
1974, and that a new director will be employed
as soon as possible so Rush can help train the
new person for the job.
"It was her decision; there was no dissatis­faction
with her on our part at all," Philpott
said. "She has been with us more than 20 years
and has done a great job."
The space in the quadrangle dining hall will
not be designated for other used until a study is
made by the new food services director to deter­mine
if the facility could be reopened and opera­ted
successfully without interfering with the
operation of the War Eagle Cafeteria, accord­ing
to the report. "If the food services director's
report indicates that the War Eagle Cafeteria
and the quad dining hall can both be operated
successfully, the quad dining hall might be re­opened,"
Philpott said.
Of the students living in the quad dorms
answering the survey, 50 per cent indicated
they would eat in the quad dining hall if it were
reopened. Forty-six per cent said they would not
and four per cent did not answer the question.
Four hundred ninety-nine women living in the
quad dorms answered the survey.
Philpott approved that students be given the
option of purchasing seven-day, five-day,
nine-meal food plans or a $150 coupon book.
"We would consider it desirable that as much
flexibility as possible be allowed in types of
meal plans available and in the use of these
plans," Philpott said.
"Since this committee cannot determine the
amount of flexibility that would be feasible, we
must depend on the food service management
to determine this in detail," the committee
stated in its report. "We feel this flexibility
would increase the student use of the food ser-
The committee was appointed by Philpott
April 3 to make recommendations concerning
policies relating to the operation of food ser­vices
and met on April 11,24 and 30 for a total of
seven hours, according to the report.
Committee members include Harold Grant,
chairman, director of student development;
Debbie Bowles, 3LT; Katherine Cater, dean of
women; Doug Davis, 2PB; Glenda Earwood,
president of AWS; James Foy, dean of student
affairs; and Rhett Riley, business manager.

20 out on bail
5 still in jail after drug raids
Twenty persons have been released on
bail while five still remain in Lee County
jail in connection with a recent series of
drug raids, according to the Lee County
Sheriffs office.
Twenty-five persons were arrested in
19 raids at about 6:30 a.m. April 30 as
part of a four-month investigation,
Sheriff Jim Pearson said.
The Lee County grand jury began its
May session Monday and is expected to

week, according to the Lee Countv Cir­cuit
Court clerk's office. If the persons are
indicted by the grand jury, their cases
would be on the docket for the week of
May 27. Exact dates for the trials would
then be determined, the clerk's office
said.
More than 200 cases are expected to be
placed on the docket in the circuit court
during the last week of May.
Three other arrest warrants have been
issued in connection with the investiga­tion,
but the persons are still at large, the
sheriffs office said.
Arrested in the raids but not listed by
the sheriffs office as out on bail as of
Tuesday are: Goeffrey Webster, 2VA,
charged with sale and possession of
marijuana; Otis Lockhart, Lot 5, Hard-away
Trailer Park, Opeiika, charged

Three AU students die
in Florida car wreck
Three Auburn students were killed
Sunday in a two-car head-on collision in
Wewahitchka, FL as they were return­ing
from a weekend in Panama City. Two
other persons were seriously injured in
the accident.
Jack James, 2PN, John S. Hiam, 1GC,
and Kathy A. Ray, 1GC, all from
Birmingham, were killed when their 1973
Dodge Colt hit a 1971 Chevrolet driven by
John Daniels, 28, a resident of
Wewahitchka. Daniels is listed in serious
condition.
Jackie Sue Willis, 18, a student from
Woodlawn High School in Birmingham,
was the only survivor in the students'
car. She was listed in critical condition
Tuesday in Bay Memorial Hospital in
Panama City.
Tommy Willis, her brother, said the
doctor told him Tuesday morning she
"has a pretty good chance of living." The
doctor said herpul.se was holding steady
and all her broken bones had been set,
Willis said. He said the doctors are
mainly worried about brain damage
now.
Daniels has been charged with driv­ing
while intoxicated, Wewahitchka
Police Chief Johnathan H . Glass said
Wednesday. Glass said no other charges
have been filed as of Wednesday but said
he expects manslaughter charges to be
filed later.
Glass said the DWI charge was filed
just to hold Daniels until other charges
are filed. "I have been in touch with the
state attorney's office to make sure every­thing
is done legally before any other
charges are made. Glass said the DWI
charge would be dropped if
manslaughter charges are filed.
Glass said the accident occurred on the
out-skirts of Wewahitchka, about 25
miles west of Panama City, at about 12:50
p.m. Sunday. He said Daniels was
attempting to pass another car when his
vehicle, traveling at an estimated 65
miles-per-hour-plus, hit the students' car,
traveling at an estimated 30-35 m.p.h.
The students' car was upside down
when police arrived and police said they
could not positively determine who was
driving.
Funerals for Hiam and Ray were held
Tuesday in Birmingham. James' funeral
was held Wednesday afternoon in
Birmingham.
Byard, 221 W. Glenn Ave., was released
on $10,000 bail after being charged with
sale of marijuana and THC, a mari­juana
derivative.
Ron Murray, 2GC, who posted bail
totaling $16,500, is charged with sale of
amphetamines and two counts of sale of
marijuana and possession of marijuana.
Mike Anderson, 1004 Dukes Circle, is out
on $8,000 bail charged with selling mari­juana
and possession of marijuana and
paraphernalia.
James "Red" Charity, 4SED, is out on
$1,500 bail after being charged with pos­session
of marijuana. Jimmy Askew,
4PB, posted $6,500 bail after being
charged with possession and sale of
marijuana.
Donald J. Williams Jr., 1021-B Sam-ford
Court, is out on $5,000 bond, after be­ing
charged with sale of marijuana. John
T. Fikes, 403 Orchard St., Opeiika, also
posted $5,000 on a charge of selling mari­juana.
William L. Strickland, Lot 32, Harda-way
Trailer Park, Opeiika, was released
after posting $3,000 bail on charges of
possession of marijuana and parapher­nalia.
Mike Dickenson 1208 Opeiika
Road, Lot 84, posted $4,500 bail on
charges of possession of barbituates,
hashish and marijuana.
Benjamin Knowles, 3PG, posted
$16,000 bail on a charge of selling co­caine
and barbiturates and possession of
Demerol, paraphernalia, amphetamines
and marijuana.
Kenneth Roberts, N. Gay Street,
posted $16,000 bail and is charged with
two counts of selling marijuana and pos­session
of amphetamines, Demerol,
paraphernalia and marijuana.
James W. Parhan, 2406 Spring Hill
Court, is out on $10,000 bail on the charge
of selling marijuana and THC. Andy
Cross, 309 N. Ross St., posted $1,500 on a
charge of possession of marijuana.
Robert S. Sheppard, 4AC, posted
$8,000 bail on charges of sale and pos­session
of marijuana and possession of
paraphernalia. James Johnson, 229
Chateau Apts. posted $5,500 bail after be­ing
charged with possession of para­phernalia
and marijuana. He.is charged
with possession of chlorohydrate which
carries a $2,500 bail.
Vance Mitchell III, 4AC, posted $9,500
bail on charges of selling hashish and
possession of paraphernalia, hashish
and marijuana. Dwayne Keith, 631
Frazier St., is out on $3,000 bail charged
with possession of marijuana and drug
paraphernalia.
Pearson said some suspected mari­juana
plants were also seized in the
raids. He said the investigation was part
of a two-year drug education program in
local schools.
said only that his office provided cam­pus
phone directories to Ted Little and
iRobert Wilder, the two candidates for the
21st district state senate seat.
The Wallace form letters were alleged­ly
distributed to secretaries for addres­sing
in late April but were taken up later
that day and given to one typist, because
too many people were seeing them the
source said. White was told that the
activities might be considered inap­propriate,
the source said, while White
denied that he was told of the activities or
that the activities even occurred.
The informed source said the "address
lists" provided Little and Wilder were not
directories but computer print out sheets
of University personnel. Secretaries
went through the lists last week remov­ing
names of those who did not live in Au­burn
and therefore did not vote in the
21st district.
White said his office has been a clear­inghouse
for information on how to get in
touch with political candidates. He said
that the Wallace campaign was not the
only one about which contribution in­formation
was given.
Addresses were also given for the head­quarters
of Melba Till Allen and Mabel
Amos, candidates for state treasurer;
Jere Beasley and Richard Dominick,
Editorial on this subject, page 14
candidates for lieutenant governor; and
Barbara Cornelius, candidate for state
auditor, White said.
"Reports have been greatly exag­gerated
and overblown," White said
about accusations of administration
solicitation of funds for Gov. George
Wallace's campaign. He described them
as "rumors" and "questionable journal­ism."
The April 30 edition of the Birming­ham
Post-Herald also said that Auburn
Extension employes were asked to con­tribute
to the Beasley campaign. Pres­ident
Harry M. Philpott said Tuesday the
extension case is under investigation.
Fred Robertson, vice president for ex­tension,
said there is "no evidence" so
far, of solicitation among extension
workers but that his office "is giving an
opportunity for everyone who has in­formation
to come forward."
The identity of anyone giving informa­tion
will be kept confidential, Robertson
said. He said that there have always
been accusations of political activity in
the extension service "for all the 15 years
I've been here at Auburn."
Robertson said it was "inevitable to get
accusations" and that extension person­nel
have been warned every election
against soliciting for a candidate on the
job. He also said he distributed Universi­ty
rules concerning partisan political
activity April 30 to extension personnel.
Reports of solicitation for the Wallace
campaign appeared in the Friday edi­tion
of The Montgomery Advertiser.
The incident started when Taylor Lit­tleton,
vice president for academic af­fairs,
asked several deans to inform their
faculty members "of their right and op­portunity
to contribute" to the Wallace
campaign, according to The Advertiser.
Leslie Campbell, associate dean of the
School of Arts and Sciences, said he was
asked and agreed to solicit contributions
for the campaign. Campbell said he
asked faculty members who he thought
would like to support Wallace to con­tribute
and asked them to ask others who
might have been interested in contribut­ing.
The Executive Committee of the Au­burn
chapter of the American Associa­tion
of University Professors (AAUP)
condemned the action in a Monday meet­ing
as being "partisan politics."
"We cannot agree that it is within the
spirit or the letter of University regula­tions
that the administration serve as a
clearinghouse to inform university per­sonnel
where they might contribute to
anyone's political campaign," the com­mittee's
statement read.
"We do not believe that such personnel
are so incompetent or unintelligent that
they cannot ascertain this information
for themselves," the committee said.
The committee said it "commends
those administrators who protested" the
alledged solicitation.
"AU Report," a faculty and staff pub­lication,
printed in the April 29 issue the
policy of the Auburn Board of Trustees
concerning political activity of Univer­sity
employes.
The seven-point policy states that no
one may speak for the University on
behalf of any Candidate, that employes of
the University are exempted from any
compulsion to support any candidate
when the support is urged by any other
employe and that any political activity
by any division of the University is con­trary
to the express prohibition of the
Board of Trustees.
Dr. Wesley Newton, Chairman of the
executive committee of the Auburn chap­ter
of the AAUP, stated that the AAUP
views "any attempt to bring pressure
from an institutional standpoint on any
member of the faculty as a grave viola­tion
of academic freedom."
"There was not any intention to seem
to be coercing people," said Campbell.
Campbell also said that no money was
collected.
"The contribution information was
dispensed but misunderstood," said Phil­pott,
"so the dispensation of information
was stopped."
Philpott said that he knew about the
contribution information being dis­tributed.
"I guess it must have been be­fore"
the cfm'tfiftutions were solicited, he
said.
"We either have to give it for every can­didate
or none," said Philpott.
Edward Hobbs, dean of the School of
Arts and Sciences, said that "after a day
or two I decided it was inappropriate to
provide even this kind of information."
He described the affair as a "dead is­sue."
Contributions to the Beasley cam­paign
were also solicited on campus by
persons selling barbeque tickets. The
fund-raising barbeque never took place
even though the tickets were sold. A
former University employe also solicited
contributions for the Wallace campaign.
Beasley had no comment on reports that
pressure was applied to the extension
personnel.
"We can only conclude he (Beasley) did
have something to do with the scheme."
said Dominick. "The only question I see
is 'are the charges true' ?"
Littleton told The Advertiser that the
only campaign for which contribution
information was disseminated was that
of Wallace. He also said that he did not
discuss the matter with Philpott. '
Littleton told The Plainsman. "It's
time to drop the issue. It's been blown out
of proportion." He had no further com­ment
on the matter.

Auburn has in its
possession a collection of
paintings done in the 1930s
and 40s by modernists of that
period, including such artists
as John Merin and Georgia
O'Keefe. The paintings are
collectively called the State
Department Exhibition and
are valued at between $50 mil­lion
to $75 million, said Vern
Swanson, assistant profes­sor
of art. Swanson said that
the collection toured Europe
after World War II and
included in its tour many
Communist countries which
created a furor from Ameri­can
citizens, resulting in its
being recalled to the United
States.
Upon its return the collec­tion
was dispersed among dif­ferent
universities, with
Auburn getting "the lion's
share," Swanson said. The
University of Oklahoma got
the second largest share, he
said.
"The paintings have fallen
into disrepair and are now in
poor condition," Swanson
said. He has begun a cam­paign
to salvage them and
recently made a trip to
Washington, DC, to appeal
for a grant of $10,000 for the
restoration of the paintings.
The Museum Division of
the National Endowment for
the Arts agreed to the alloca­tion
on three conditions,
Swanson said. The paintings
must be restored to their ori­ginal
condition; they must be
placed in a proper storage or
gallery area; and they must
be insured. "Another stipula­tion
was that the grant be a
matching grant, dollar for
dollar," Swanson said.
"The University has been
reticent because of theexhor-bitant
insurance rates to pro­vide
money to insure the
paintings," Swanson said.
"However, they will be most
willing to cooperate when a
proper storage area is found,
which should drive the insur­ance
rates down."
Other artists included in
the University collection are
Ben Shahn and Kuniyoshi,
Swanson said.

in farm mishaps
Farming is one of the most
dangerous occupations in
America. Nearly 2,300 per­sons
are killed annually and
every 50 seconds a farm res­ident
or worker in this coun­try
is injured in a farm-work
accident. About one-third of
these accidents involves a
farm tractor and more than
half the tractor accidents are
the result of overturns.
' According to Elmo Renoll,
professor of agricultural en­gineering,
two things can be
done to reduce tractor ac­cidents
and the resulting fatal
injuries.
One way is to give each
farm equipment operator
safety training. Hopefully,
this will enable him to operate
a tractor in a safe manner,
while at the same time re­cognizing
potentially dan­gerous
situations before they
become- problems, Renoll
said.
Another way to help reduce
tractor injuries and deaths is
to install protective cabs or
frames and safety belts oh
tractors, he said. The cabs
and frames offer a protective
zone around the operator in
the event of an overturned
tractor. They also tend to pre­vent
the tractor from turning
completely upside down by
limiting the overturn to 90 de­grees,
Renoll said.
Fellows attend' fall and
spring seminars in St. Louis
and' Washington during the
nine-month internship.

Everyone knows that you have to leave Auburn on weekends to find adventure. But it's only as
far as Opelika. We feel that students need a break from the HUM-Drum of school life and the
same old weekend drag. If you want something besides parties, movies or sun-bathing on
weekends try a canoe trip down a winding stream. Take a sailboat to the lake or beach. How
about a bunch of friends on a raft trip for a lifetime of adventure, try Adventure Sports.

Students have complained
about dating problems in
Auburn, but for years the
faculty has solved socia­lizing
problems through the
Singles Club, a club open to
faculty, staff and graduate
students.
Originally formed as an
extension of the Faculty Club,
the Singles Club meets every
other Friday night. Members
alternate using their homes
for the parties. The host fur­nishes
hors d'oeuvres or dips
and each guest pays for his or
her drinks.
"We're not really a formal
club with elected officers,
dues and such," said A. C.
Garr, assistant professor of
foreign language who acts as
coordinator of the group.
"We're sort of sponsored by
the University Club but the
finances are our own. This
offers single, "widowed or
divorced people a place to
meet and mingle with each
other."
In past years the Singles
Club, also known as Swin­gles,
was made up of single
members of the Faculty Club
who participated in Faculty
Club functions and met about
once a month. The activities
included cook-outs, progres­sive
dinners .and song fests.
From time to time under­graduates
have not been
included because they had so
many parties of their own and
the Singles Club wanted to
break away from couple-oriented
parties, Garr said.
Today, computer print-out
notices are sent out to single
persons. Invitations to join
are placed in a local news­paper
and the Faculty Bulle­tin.
"The bi-weekly parties last
about two hours and dancing
is encouraged," Garr said. "It
depends on the mood of the
crowd. People even go out
together as a group after the
meetings. The attendance
fluctuates anywhere from 15
to 30 people at a meeting."
"One of the nice things
about it is that you meet
people from different depart­ments,
people you normally
wouldn't have any contact
with. It sort of stimulates
inter-campus acquain­tances,"
said Thomas War-bington,
assistant professor
of foreign language.

Paint a Bod
These new art forms took over the Auburn campus
for a few hours Friday as contestants and spectators
gathered for the Paint-A-Bpd contest. An annual
event of Fine Arts Week, thte body-painting contest
brings out the creativity and imagination in those
who wield the brush. For the "body" it's enough of a
challenge to keep still, ignore the stares of the crowd
and suppress the laughter that's inevitable as the
tickling brush passes over the skin.
Seven entrants put their talents on the line in the
contest and transformed the bodies of their partner
into gaily colored designs ranging from butterflies to
a painted Uncle Sam. After an hour and a half these
creations of tempera and flesh were modeled for the
judges and prizes were awarded. The paint and
brushes were furnished by local merchants.

A motion to remove the re­quirement
that faculty guest
speakers be approved by de­partment
heads failed 22-25
during heated controversy at
the University Senate meet­ing
Tuesday afternoon.
Proponents of the motion
argued that the requirement
represented censorship,
'infringed upon instructor's
I academic freedom and re­presented
a distrust of faculty
responsibility.
Opponents of the motion
argued that faculty cannjot be
assumed to be responsible at
all times, that the require­ment
protected student in­terests
and tht it would avoid
"embarrassing" the Univer­sity.
A motion that the require­ment
be printed in the Tiger
Cub passed. One instructor
said it "reports nationwide
that Auburn Univejrsity
faculty are irresponsible!."
In a committee report,
f Library Committee Chair­man
Allen W. Jones [com­pared
the library's status
iwith 24 Southeastern univer­sities.
Jones reported that
while Auburn ranked 12 th in
I enrollment, it ranked 18th in
; volumes, 22nd in volumes per
j student, 22nd in expen­ditures
per student and 23rd
in total expenditures.
Jones said inflation was the
main problem of library ex­penditures.
Expenditures for
1968-69 were $414,000 while
those for 1972-73 were
$411,000 at a time of great in­flation,
he explained. Jones
said the 1974-75 budget would
probably be about $500,000
but said that it would not be
sufficient.

Two Auburn NROTC
Marine Option Students, Bob
Munisteri, 1PNM, and Butch
Copeland, 1PM, competed
against a field of 2,000 run­ners
in the 1974 Boston
Marathon on April 15.
All competitors in this
year's 25 mile, 380 yard, Bos­ton
Marathon were required
to have run at least one 26
mile marathon in less than
three and a half hours since
January 1, 1973.
Munisteri, a fourth class
midshipman, completed the
Boston Marathon in 3 hours,
15 minutes. Marathon
running is not new to Muni­steri,
as he has competed in
marathons in Houston, Flor­ida
and Atlanta. In Atlanta's
Stone Mountain Marathon,
he finished the mountain
course in 3:45:12, fast enough
to capture fourth place.
"I run . . . 15 to 20 miles a
day. When I run, I usually just
think about what has hap­pened
during the day or look
at the scenery. Of course, it's
nice when the scenery in­cludes
a pretty girl. I usually
put out a little harder,"
Munisteri said.
Besides running, Muni­steri
enjoys flying and he also
has developed an interest in
skydiving.
Copeland is on active duty
in the Navy, assigned to
Auburn via the NESEP pro­gram.
Before coming to
Auburn, he was assigned to
the Navy's Nuclear Power
Program. He is relatively new
at distance running, having
only run in Florida and
Atlanta before competing in
Boston.
In the Stone Mountain
Marathon in Atlanta, Cope­land
finished in second place
with an impressive time of
3:11. In Boston, he finished
with a time of 3:03, despite the
fact that he pulled a muscle in
his leg after the tenth mile.
Copeland said he enjoys
running with his wife when
she feels especially energetic.
He also, enjoys lettering and
painting, having been a pro­fessional
sign painter before
enlisting in naval service.

D. Kent Leichliter, who has
been Auburn City Manager
through two city administra­tions
has resigned effective
June 7..
Leichliter said Tuesday he
will be accepting a position
with the Atlanta Regional
Commission where he will be
in charge of the technical
assistance division of the
Governmental Services De­partment.
The Commission is a seven-county
: regional planning
agency similar in organiza­tion
to the Lee County
Council of Governments.
Leichliter enformed the City
Council Monday of his resig­nation
in a letter ; presented
at a committee meeting of
council members at City Hall.
In his letter Leichliter said,
"I have never been able to se­cure
several council mem­bers'
confidence in either my­self
or some members of the
city's staff which has and
would continue to serve as a
detriment to the ongoing
progress of the community.
"This lack of confidence
coupled with personal rea­sons
has prompted me to sub­mit
this resignation."
Leichliter has been city
manager since March 15,1969,
more than twice as long as the
average city manager hold
the same job. Leichliter said
city managers nationally
hold a job an average of two
years because of political and
other conflicts.
City Council Pres. Eugene
Stanaland said Tuesday
much the same procedure
used in recruiting Auburn
Police Chief Edward Blodgett
will be used in finding a new

Philpott rejects women's intercollegiate athletics funding
A request for more than
$31,000 from the University's
general fund to support wo­men's
intercollegiate
athletics has been turned
down by Pres. Harry M. Phil­pott,
forcing the women's pro­gram
to turn to Student Activ­ities
Fund for their alloca­tion.
The request for funding was
submitted to Philpott by
Sandra Newkirk, assistant
professor of health, physical
education and recreation and
director of the women's pro­grams.
Philpott said he was
surprised when the recom­mendation
was submitted,
since he hadn't been meeting
with Newkirk.
In a statement submitted
with an earlier $4,215 request
for the women's intramurals
program, Newkirk said Phil­pott
had promised to "take
care of the intercollegiate
budget this year if the Stu­dent
Government Associa­tion
would fund it in 1973-74,
this fiscal year. The Senate
did fund it this year.
Only the intramurals bud­get
was originally scheduled
to be heard by the Student
Senate, but with Philpott's
funding denial the intercol­legiate
budget will be con­sidered
by the Senate also.
Appearing before the Stu­dent
Senate's Budget and Fi­nance
Committee Monday, a
representative for Philpott
said University support could
only take the forms of re­leased
time for University-paid
coaches and main­tenance
of some equipment.
Dr. Taylor Littleton, re­presenting
Philpott, said
Philpott views women's
sports mainly as a club activ­ity.
Littleton said Philpott
made no committment to fund
women's intercollegiate
sports this year, but expected
funding for the program to
come again from the Student
Activity Fund allocated by
the Senate.
Newkirk said Wednesday
that she "doesn't care" where
funding for the women's
intercollegiate program
comes from, if the money
granted is adequate. "For
what we've done for Auburn,
we think we deserve enough
money to run a good pro­gram,"
Newkirk said.
Newkirk said she is
Author-prof Gunn to speak
on future here Wednesday
investigating the ways in
which women's athletic pro­grams
are funded at other
member schools of the South­eastern
Conference in an ef­fort
to formulate a future
funding plan for women's
sports at Auburn.
The Budget and Finance
Committee has been meeting
this week to study the bud­gets
of student projects, and
will report its recommenda­tions
later this month to the
Student Senate for approval
and submission to Philpott.
In other business, the com­mittee
unanimously decided
to recommend cutting WEGL-FM's
budget by about $375,
leaving the station about
$18,200, with the final
amount to be determined
later. The recommended cut
was taken from the amount
asked for to cover the ban­quet
at the end of the year.
The Auburn Circle's bud­get
was recommended to in­crease
to cover a salary for the
post of associate editor. The
original request was
$9,666.50.
The Religious Affairs bud­get
was recommended for a
cut of $3,000 Tuesday from
the money asked for speak­ers.
Dyson said the speakers
could be secured through the
University Lectures Commit­tee.
The total could be ab­sorbed
by the committee, Lit­tleton
said. The money al­located
was $902.50 out of a
$5,022.50 request.
The $1,500 Associated Wo­men
Students request for pro­grams
was discussed as pos­sibly
being channeled into the
Lectures committee. The
question was not settled Tues­day
and another meeting has
been set for Wednesday night,
after press time. Lipscomb
said that while seven per cent
of the money allocated to
SGA went to officers salaries,
23.17 per cent of AWS's mo­ney
went to the same thing.
Ulenda Earwood, pres­ident
of AWS, said the sal­aries
were determined by how
hard the officers work. She
said the AWS has no full time
secretary as does the SGA
and this is where most of the
work is done.
The Budget and Finance
Committee passed a motion
requesting an AWS vote dis­closure
to determine the need
for the elections pamphlet.
School of Engineering Sen­ator
Gus Lott later said if the
disclosure is not made, the
I M H
SGA should turn down the
budget request.
John Decker, Senate pres­ident,
said it seemed odd that
the original budget of AWS
was $1,500 before the Senate
questioned it and after they
re-did the budget it was still
$1,500. Decker said, "Instead
of eliminating money needed
for projects that the Senate
questioned, they made their
needs conform to the money."
The Plainsman budget was
recommended cut $50 to
$29,421.56 after David
Housel, adviser to The Plains­man,
admitted to padding the
budget for photography.
The budget submitted by
the Auburn Students Re­habilitation
Association was
not approved. Dyson said "If
we fund them, we will have set
precedent in funding
organizations of that kind.
There are so many of them
that we couldn't handle the
load." He said the SGA would
be willing to help them in any
other way.
In the Glomerata budget re­quest,
sales of space were
estimated to drop $345 be­cause
there are fewer
organizations on campus.
The Glomerata is asking
$1,016.50 to buy photo­graphic
equipment so the
Glomerata can have their
own camera and lens. This is
$816.50 increase over last
year's appropriation for
camera equipment.

Jail ministry works for county prisoners
Foul ball —Dan Doughtie
The baseball fans oohed when a foul-ball
hit by a Georgia team member struck
the windshield of this car parked in a lot
near the field Saturday. It was a shock to
William E. Adkison, 3AN, too, when he
went to drive his car home—and he didn't
even get to keep the ball that did the
damage.
By Steele Holman
Plainsman Staff Writer
The deputy took the two
men up the stairs, unlocked a
steel door and led them into
the corridor of cells. But
instead of locking them in a
cell, he left them to them­selves.
The men were not pris­oners,
but ministers who
come to the Lee County Jail to
share faith, concern and help
with the .inmates.
This particular visit to the
jail in Opelika was made by
Rev. Rod Sinclair of the Epis­copal
Student Center and
Rev. Glenn Edgerton of First
Presbyterian Church of Au­burn.
It was part of an Au­burn
and Opelika Ministerial
Associations' program to aid
the inmates by improving
visiting policies, providing
more recreation and starting
some sort of counseling or re­habilitation
plan, Sinclair
said.
The program was first plan­ned
during the fall when
Sheriff James Pearson met
with the associations to ex­plain
the needs and jail con­ditions.
The first stage of the
plan, to have two ministers
visit each Thursday, was be­gun
on March 15.
Besides sharing the Chris­tian
message and talking
with the men, the ministers
gather data about jail condi­tions
and needs as the pris­oners
see them.
"The principal difficulty, as
we see it, is the physical con­ditions
under which we will
be visiting. Conferences with
the men in the two bull pens
are extremely difficult as we
must speak through the small
opening in the metal door. It
lacks privacy, personable-ness
and any atmosphere con­ducive
to pastoral minis-tery,"
said a report to the
ministerial -association.
The bull pens referred to are
recreation rooms for reading,
card playing and exercising.
In specific cases, ministers
are allowed to speak private­ly
with individual prisoners
in a downstairs room. "Not
withstanding the difficulty
which we know we will en­counter,
we are in agreement
that we must press ahead
with jail visitation," the re­port
said.
Some needs of the prison­ers
which are immediately at­tainable
are magazines and
other reading matter, board
games and fresh fruit. The
county budget allots the jail
$1.25 per day for each prison­er's
food, Sinclair noted. Reg­ulations
prohibit visitors
from bringing more fruit to a
prisoner than he can con­sume
in one day.
The ministers bought three
televisions for the jail, one for
each men's bull pen upstairs
and one for the women's bull
pen downstairs. The jail is
waiting for an antenna be­fore
the televisions are instal­led,
Pearson said.
The second stage of the
plan is to institute a more
complete ministry and to
make recommendations for a
new jail or for the present jail.
Auburn student records guarded by rules, regulations
By Sue Ann Miller
Plainsman Staff Writer
Many Auburn students do
not realize that their
confidential records which
are on file at the Registrar's
Office or their dean's office
are protected by certain
University regulations. Mark
Strickland, assistant regis­trar
in charge of records said
there are several rules that
strickly govern the registrar
and the dean concerning out­going
information about a
student.
Any person is allowed to in­quire
about general infor­mation
concerning a student,

"No further information,

Two of the recommendations
are improved visiting regula­tions
and an outdoor recrea­tion
program.
The current visiting hours
are 1:30 p.m. on Sundays
only. Immediate family, legal
counsel and now the min­isters
are the only persons al­lowed
to visit the inmates.
The ministerial associa­tion
would like longer visit­ing
hours, more visiting days,
and provisions whereby
friends can visit prisoners,
Sinclair said.
But these suggestions
would be subject to the de­sires
of the prisoners, he ad­ded.
There is presently no out­door
recreation at the jail and
a fenced-in area used to im­pound
cars would be the only
possible place, Sinclair said.
He said the ministers feel that
the inmates need outdoor re­creation.
"This might mean
taking them over to the city
jail compound, but this would
require extra supervision."
The ministers also would
like to have the plywood
sheets removed from the jail
windows. The windows were
covered about 18 months ago
after prisoners threw things
such as shoes through the
glass panes, Sinclair said.
"We are exploring ways in
which persons other than
ministers can help," Sinclair
said, and suggested that
sororities and fraternities
might bring their old
magazines by the jail for the
prisoners.
A complete jail ministry
would mean full counseling
service for financial troubles
and personal problems and
some sort of literacy training.
The jail ministry might
eventually call upon re­sources
within the Universi­ty
for help, Sinclair said.
He also said the inmates
seemed interested in what the
ministers had to say, and
about the efforts to bring im­provements.
Said one pris-_
oner, "I'm just pleased that
someone outside cares for us."

Tigers split pair with Dogs;
will end with FSU and Tech
VIC SHAREK SMASHES
. . . Sharek is leading
ANOTHER ONE
hitter in SEC
-Dan Doughtie
By Mark Murphy
Plainsman Sports Writer
After splitting a two-game
SEC set with the Georgia
Bulldogs Auburn will go into
its final week of 1974 base­ball
with a 28-13 record.
The Tigers will close out
their home slate with Florida
State in single games Mon­day
and Tuesday.
Wednesday night Auburn
will wrap up the season in
Americus, GA, against Geor­gia
Tech.
Auburn split two games
with FSU in Tallahassee
dropping the opener 11-1 and
bouncing back for a 6-3 win.
Wednesday's contest is the
only AU-Tech meeting on a
baseball diamond this year.
With SEC competition com­pleted
coach Paul Nix's squad
took second place in the Eas­tern
Conference with an 11-6
league mark.
Terry Leach continues to
pace the Tiger pitching staff
with an 8-0 mark. The right­hander
has allowed only 18
hits in 46 inning Leach has
a 1.55 ERA.
Junior Davis May also
owns eight victories but has
three setbacks. May has a
2.81 ERA and leads the team
in innings pitched with 86.
Freshman Joe Beckwith
has pitched 63 innings and
has a 5-3 mark. He has
allowed just 36 hits and is one
of the SEC's leading hurlers
with a 1.70 ERA.
Vic Sharek, who was flirt­ing
with the .400 mark before
hitting a slight slump, is
leading the team with a .368
batting average. The senior
third baseman is hitting .387
against SEC pitching.
Designated hitter Dave
Duffner, who also sees action
at second base, is the only
other .300 hitter with his .313
mark. The sophomore from
Birmingham leads the squad
in RBI's with 27, one more
.than Sharek's total.
Other Tiger regulars
include Gary Dailey at .287,
Steve Rea .276, Mark Hatch-ennis
time
This week the Auburn Tennis team takes off north for the
Southeastern Conference championships in Athens, GA. The
Tigers will not win it.
"We are pushing up to get toward the middle of the con­ference."
said coach Luther Young." The SEC is the strong­est
tennis conference in the country. This year any one of six
teams might win the title."
"The best choice would probably be the University of Geor-
;,r'a since they have won it three years in a row and they are
;)|flying on their home courts. However, Tennessee, Florida;
aftd Alabama are very strong. LSU and Kentucky are not far
behind."
The coach of over 20 Tiger years knows his team cannot win
u, hut he does feel that Auburn could have a say in just who
Last year the Tigers scored only once as Georgia won the
nipping Alabama by two points and Florida by only
Hoes
title,
lure.
Coach Young is far from dissatisfied with this year's Tiger
squad. "I feel we did just what we expected to do and that we
improved over last year. We could have done a lot better but
we are satisfied with what we did."
For the record the Tigers finished the season with a 9-7 over­all
record and 2-6 in the conference, not quite as bad as many
people probably thought.
Asa matter of fact, the Tigers are playing someof their best
tennis of the year as they won their last three matches claim­ing
wins over Vanderbilt, Columbus College, and Ole Miss.
The Tigers beat Vanderbilt 9-0 and whipped the Rebs frorn.^
Mississippi 7-2.
The Tigers this year are a young lot and things look bright {
'or the future with the entire team returning. The team con­sisted
of three freshmen, three sophomores and two juniors.
The number one player for the second year in a row was i
Drew Evert; If the name sounds familiar it is because he has a
sister named Chris who also plays some tennis. Evert, how­ever,
is a fine performer and besides being the leading singles
player teams up with leftie Jackie Bushman to form the num­ber
one doubles team.
. "The number one doubles team is the real strength of this
team and should be seeded in the top four at the tournament,
possi bly as high as number two," said coach Young. The num­ber
one doubles team have won 13 games this year and suf­fered
only two losses.
Another strong point of this year's squad has been junior
Tom McLemore who was the only Tiger to score in last year's
conference meet.
One might look at the record of Auburn tennis over the
years and notice that they have never finished very high.
The i e is another reason for this besides the tough caliber of
Southeastern play and that is the lack of scholarships and
emphasis put on the sport by the Athletic Department. But the
times are changing there, too.
Three years ago the Athletic Department started to give
scholarships to the tennis players. "Some people put too much
emphasis on scholarships," said coach Young. "You havegot
to build a reputation as putting emphasis on a sport to get the
prospects interested; just offering scholarships is not
enough."
"Theschool must begin to see the value ofa particular sport.
Auburn is now putting emphasis on all sports, trying to form
the best all-around sports program it can."
As the Auburn sports program grows, so must the facilities.
Auburn is presently in the process of doing just that by build­ing
new tennis courts for the varsity tennis team. "The new
courts will help tremendously. They will probably be more
Help than scholarships."
Coach Young, who has seen tennis grow in the Southeast,
feels that the game is better than ever. "In the last three years
especially the game of tennis has really boomed world wide.
In fact, if you want really good equipment you have to order
way in advance."
Young added, "As the game starts to attract more players,
of course the caliber of play will also improve."
Like it was said earlier in the Column, Auburn will not win
the SEC tennis title this year. I doubt if they will win it within
the next five years. But the important thing to me and prob­ably
most Auburn tennis fans is that after long years of idle­ness
Auburn is making an honest effort to improve and seems
'•" doing a good job of it.
Hurler loses self-doubt
By Mark Murphy
Plainsman Sports Writer
Freshman Joe Beckwith
has lost all of his self-doubt
about being good enough to
pitch SEC baseball.
The lanky 6-3 180 pound
righthander from Auburn
High has a chance to earn a
spot on AU's all-time best
earned run average list.
Carrying a 5-3 record with a.
sparkling 1.70 ERA, Beck­with
needs only one more
good mound performance to
lower his ERA below 1.69
which would rank him in the
top eight.
Beckwith has been ex­tremely
stingy in giving up
hits allowing just 36 in 63 and
one-third innings.
"I am very surprised and
really happy about my pitch­ing,"
he said. "I thought it
was going to be twice as hard
as high school."
After a brillant high school
The hurler who had a 1.53
high school career ERA and
an average of almost two
strikeouts per inning was
named MVP in the Alabama
East-West All-Star game last
year.
Beckwith spent last sum­mer
as a pitcher on a Bir­mingham
amateur team that
finished second in the na­tional
tournament. At the na­tionals
in Johnstown, PA.
Beckwith won a 5-3 decision
over national champion
Baltimore. It was Balti­more's
first loss in two years.
After growing up in Au­burn,
Joe is well versed in AU
athletic tradition. His father,
Bill, is business manager of
the athletic department and a
former Tiger sports informa­tion
director.
Commenting on the main
differences between high
school and college pitching,
Joe said, "In college you have
doubted that Beckwith had
the stuff to pitch in the SEC
even if Beckwith himself
wondered.
The rubber-arm righthand­er
was the ace of Auburn
High's team that was runner-up
for the state champion­ship
last year.
To put his team into the
state semi-finals Beckwith
put on a two day ironman per­formance.
He pitched 18
scoreless innings allowing
only three hits and no walks
while fanning eight. He
pitched 13 innings the first
day and five more the next un­til
his teammates finally
pushed home a run.

"I was really fired up for
that game. After we came
back from Florida, coach Wo-mack
told me that it would be
the most important game of
my career."
"I was really letdown when
we lost the first game to
Vandy, but it wasn't the end
of the world. I still had my
best fastball of the year that
day."

"In high school you only
have to worry about two or
three of the hitters but in col­lege
all nine are tough."
Beckwith got his first ac­tion
as a reliever early in the
season and he didn't expect to
be a starter this year. How­ever,
the freshman was too
impressive to keep out of the
starting rotation.
Joe rates a two-hitter
against Georgia in Athens as
his best performance of the
season.
He hurled a three hit vic-son
Beckwith will be counted
on heavily in next year's title
chase.
His freshman year is even
more impressive when tak­ing
into consideration he
started the season with his
knee bandaged after an
operation.
Over the Thanksgiving
holidays cartilage and bone
chips were removed from his
knee necessitating five weeks
on crutches and in a cast.
"The doctor says I am still not
fully recovered," he said. Pity
the batters if Beckwith can
pitch better when healthy.

Dennis Bailey .252, Curt Cope
.245, Tommy Morton .210 and
Kim Shugart .206.
Rea leads the team in home-runs
with five.
Cope has 24 stolen bases.
He clipped the old record of 21
set last year by Hatchett by
stealing 22 consecutive bases
before being thrown out.
Friday at Plainsman Park
Auburn edged Georgia 3-2
behind the mound perfor­mance
of Beckwith who scat­tered
seven hits.
Rea's sacrifice fly im;the
fifth inning broke a 2-2 dead­lock
scoring Miller.
The Bulldogs had taken a 2-
0 edge in the second on a
Charles Winslette homer.
Bulldog leftfielder Steve
Carp was generous to
Auburn. In the second inning
he let a single get by, allow­ing
Duffner to take second
base. Rea singled home the
run cutting the deficit to 2-1.
In the fourth Bailey singled
to left and went to second
when Carp couldn't handle
the ball. Bailey moved to third
on a Morton single then tied
the game on a Russ Dean
single to right.
After a 13 hit attack Friday
the Tigers could only manage
five in a 7-5 Saturday loss.
Winslette homered again
and his three run blast was
the difference.
May was rocked for ten hits
in four innings and seven
earned runs. Matt Waller and
Leach combined to pitch
scoreless relief the final five
frames allowing two hits but
the Tigers couldn't catch up.
Georgia held a 4-1 edge
after two innings and got,

Auburn added a single run in

B remain undefeated going
into the fifth week of competi­tion.
In division two of League A
the Alpha Tau Omega nine
reign supreme after posting
wins over Omega Tau Sigma,
Lambda Chi Alpha, Sigma
Chi and Theta Xi. The TZ
game was an uphill battle for
ATO after TZ came up with
seven runs in the first two in­nings
to grab what looked for
a long time like a winning
lead. ATO, however, behind
the hitting of shortstop Jack
Hooks rallied in the sixth and
seventh innings to score 10
runs and claim the victory.
Second place Sigma Nu fell
to Lambda Chi Alpha in a
close contest 9 to 8. The Sigma
Nu team is now 3 and 1, the
loss being their first of the
softball season.

Sigma Pi 17 to 16. David
Adair was 4 for 4 at the plate
for the Raiders.

Georgia won its third
straight dual track meet from
Auburn here Saturday after­noon,
turning back the
Tigers, 75-69, as Auburn's
third man on the mile relay
team pulled up with a leg in­jury.
Georgia went into the mile
relay with a 70-69 lead on the
Tigers. Auburn's John Lew-ter
was just behind his oppo­nent
when he pulled a ham­string
that allowed the Bull­dogs
to win uncontested on
the final leg.
Auburn's Clifford Outlin
breezed the 100 yard dash in
:09.3 seconds, winning by six
yards. Outlin's time ties the
all-time Auburn record set by
Gary Ray in the SEC meet in
1963.
Auburn's Bret Dull set a
new Wilbur Hutsell record in
the discus with a season best
toss of 178-2'/i. Dull went into
today's competition with an
SEC leading throw of 178-1.
Georgia swept the long
jump with Phillip Tucker win­ning
with a leap of 23-11'/i
Georgia's Rick Ludwig edged
Auburn's Jerry Wooden by a

Women golfers sixth
By Lucia Jones
Plainsman Sports Writer
The Auburn Women's Var­sity
Golf Team placed sixth in
the highly competitive Uni­versity
of Georgia Invita­tional
Golf Tournament last
week. First place winner on
the challenging Georgia
course was Furman Univer­sity,
followed by the Univer­sity
of Florida, Rollins, Flor­ida
State, and the University
of North Carolina at
Greensboro. Among a field of
13 teams, Auburn tied with
Appalachian State Universi­ty
for sixth place berth.
Auburn freshman Nancy
Schlich and sophomore Sue
Dempsey both recorded a 17,'i
for the 36-hole total. Other
team members and their
scores include sophomore
Rene Wolfe at 176 and junior
Jan Jehle with a 192.
Medalist for the two day
tournament was University
of Florida's Suzanne Jack­son,
firing a 76-72. Her se­cond
day, one under par,
round of 72 was the lowest
score ever recorded at the
Georgia Golf Course in wo­men's
tournament play.
The novelty event of driv­ing
closest to the pin was won
by Auburn's Melinda Bucka-lew,
who drove within inches
of the cup on a par three hole.
Team Coach Dr. Mary Lou
Morgan commented, "Al­though
we didn't placeon top,
the tournament did provide
good experience for the girls.
The low four will still fly to the
Intercollegiate at San Diego,
California, in June."

CHRIS VACARELLA SETTING TO PASS
. . Freshman making bid for quarterback job
Quarterback race
still undecided
By Sandy Pierce
Plainsman Sports Writer
"We're starting all over,"
said Coach Doug Barfield
referring to this year's Tiger
Offense. Barfield is in his first
season as offensive co­ordinator
which includes be­ing
in charge of quarterbacks
and running backs.
A big question concerning
Auburn football for this com­ing
season is, who will quar­terback
the team? "Right now
we have five people working
at the quarterback position,"
said Barfield. Those being
considered for this top posi­tion
are Randy Walls, Clyde
Baumgartner, Chris Vacarel-la,
Phil Gargis, and Glenn
Ward.
Senior Randy Walls who
hails from Brundidge, Ala­bama
is coming off a knee
injury. "Experience is very
important, and Walls has had
the most. He led the team in
1972, but missed most of this
past season due to his in­jury,"
said Barfield/
jClyde Baugartner, a red-shirted
sophomore from
Berry High School in Bir­mingham,
is not only vying
for the quarterbacking posi­tion
but is also up for punter.
When asked why he was red-shirted
for a year, Coach Bar-field
states, "We didn't want
him to waste a year of elig­ibility,
and this gave him time
to mature, develop, and come
along."
"Glenn Ward has been con­verted
from defensive back to
quarterback because of his
quickness and running," com­ments
Barfield. Ward is from
Fayetteville, Georgia and is
also a red-shirted sophomore.
Last year's two super fresh­men
competing again for the
title of quarterback are Chris
Vacarella from Ramsey High
School in Birmingham and
Phil Gargis from Sheffield,
Alabama. WadeWhatley who
had been red-shirted a year
and still had another year of,
eligibility chose to graduate
and not come back.
Commenting on the qual­ity
of the boys' performance
Coach Barfield said, "Some
are more gifted as passers
like Walls and Baumgartner,
the bigger boys; Ward is
extremely quick; and Vaca­rella
and Gargis are more a
blend of the two."
When asked who was ahead
of the race at the moment,
Barfield explains, "During
the first scrimmage every-!
thing was going well for

Since the era of Sullivan
and Beasley, Auburn's of­fense
has not been quite' as
spectacular. "People have a
tendency to compare Au­burn's
quarterbacks with Pat
Sullivan. The year after Pat
left, the team went 10-1. It was
a great team effort. Last year
we did have quarterbacking
problems due to injuries and
inexperience, but we'll de­finitely
be better at this posi­tion
this year," said Barfield.
Coach Barfield has many
great expectations for Au­burn's
football team this com­ing
season. "We should have
a real good offense and young
faces on the defense. The
quarterback is the key posi­tion
as far as the offense is
concerned. When the offense
doesn't do well, it puts a bur­den
on the defense. This year
we're going to try to score a lit­tle
more. We will pass more,
but not near as much as Sul-.
livan did. Auburn's had a
great defense in past years as
they will in coming years," he
explains.

But what happens after you graduate? j
Then, as a health care officer in the military j
branch: of your choice you enter a professional |
environment that is challenging, stimulating and
satisfying.
An environment which keeps you in contact with
practically all medical specialties. Which gives you |
the time to observe and learn before you decide on
your specialty. Which may present the opportunity
to train in that specialty. And to practice it. [

Students' favorite park charmed for lovers
By Kathy Suhorsky
Associate Editor
The area known as Chewacla State Park has
been a haunt of Auburn students and local res­idents
for generations. Noted for its rustic beauty,
the area originally was a wilderness belonging to a
Creek tribe.
John J. Harper, one of the original founders of
Auburn, received the original grant to the
Chewacla Park area from an Indian named No
Kas Fixico or Heartless Bear.
The land passed through many hands after that
and around 1875 a mill was built on the spot where
the dam presently stands. The mill, operated by
William Wilmot Wright, handled local wheat and
corn. For many years before the area became a
state park, the recreation spot was popular with
picnickers who knew it simply as Wright's Mill.
The wooded area was a favorite of Auburn stu­dents
even then, and a cycle path was constructed
from Auburn to the Old Mill.
In the 1930s the state forester chose Wright's
Mill for development as a state park arid gave it the
name of Chewacla because the stream that ran
through it had been so called by the Indians.
There are several interesting legends about the
young Indian brave Chewacla. According to one
story Chewacla, a nephew of Chief Red Jacket,
was in love with his cousin the beautiful Luwenda.
Tribal custom prohibited their marriage so
together' they jumped off a high cliff into the flow­ing
waters below. The creek that bore their bodies
away was ever afterwards called Chewacla.
According to a legend printed in the first issue of
the Glomerata in 1897, Chewacla and his : beloved
Kiattina were separated by a tribal feud and a
huge mountain which grew up between them. One
day the lovers were miraculously reunited only to
be trapped on all sides by pursuers from their
tribes and the wall of rock. They prepared to die
together but suddenly the great mountain split
and the lovers fled westward into the hospitable
land of Alabama, all pursuit impossible.
When a Creek medicine man heard the story of
the lovers he caused streams to flow in their path to
perpetuate the memory of their devotion. To make
the spot sacred for lovers forever, he cast a charm
upon it so that all who pledged their love there
would have their greatest dreams realized.
In 193.'5 the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC),
under supervision of the National Park Service, co­operated
with the Bureau of Parks and Recreation
to develop the Chewacla area into a park.
The CCC was developed by Franklin Roosevelt
during the depression to employ young men in
work that would benefit the nation. It gave them a
chance to earn a living and helped protect, develop
and perpetuate existing forests.
The CCC camp set up at Wright's Mill was
similar to many others organized throughout the
country. According to Hugh S. Branyon, manager
of Chewacla Park, many of the boys in the camp
came from northern Florida.
The area which now serves as a Boy Scouts and
group camping area used to be the site of the bar­racks,
chapel and mess hall used by the corps of
young men. Each worker received $1 per day for
his labors and was allowed to keep $5 of this each
month; the rest was sent home to his family. They
were furnished room, board and clothing.
All the facilities at the park today, with the ex­ception
of a few wooden buildings, are the work of
the CCC. The 50-foot dam built near the location of
the old mill, was built to form the lake now enjoyed
by many tourists. The dam was constructed from
boulders brought from Loachapoka on flat plat­forms
pulled by mules. It took three or four days for
a single boulder to reach the construction site.
Branyon said during the 1930s the CCC cal­culated
the total cost of building a cabin, includ­ing
labor and materials as between $300 and $400.
The state recently built similar cabins at Cheaha
Park, Branyon said, and they cost $45,000 each.
When the CCC finished their work in 1939 the fed­eral
government turned the park over to the state
Forestry Commission.
A walk around Chewacla is proof enough of the
excellent job done by the CCC. All the original
buildings are still standing arid a limestone pit
operated by the Auburn Stone Co. is the only intra*
sion on an otherwise peaceful scene.
Today the park, run by the Alabama Depart­ment
of Conservation and Natural Resources, of­fers
877 acres for hiking, picnicking, camping,
boating, swimming and fishing. Branyon said the
park is trying to get a camping area and addi­tional
picnic and recreation facilities. He said the
park was going to try to furnish horseshoes, bad­minton
and volleyball equipment which could be
obtained free with a small deposit. "It's some­thing
that hasn't been tried yet," he said. "We'd
like to have, more for people to do once they're in­side."
Auburn students will make up approximately 60
per cent of the visitors who come to the park this
spring, Branyon said. These students and the lov­ers
among them continue to be drawn to the park
by its recreational facilities and perhaps also by
the medicine man's charm.

Transitional home project
Students help mental patients readjust WANT ADS
By Vickie Fildes
Plainsman Staff Writer
Five Auburn students, working through a pro-am
set up by the Baptist Student Union are
elping to bring mental rehabilitation down to the
immunity level.
Betty Jean Bullington, 6EED, Brenda Butler,
JGPG, Jerry Coryell, SEED, Debbie Fortner,
GJM, and Sally Meadows, 3SED, work with
latients during weekly sessions at the Transi-ional
Home at 401 Railroad Ave. in Opelika.
The home is under the direction of the East Ala-iama
Mental Health Center and serves as an
djustment period for patients from Bryce Hospi-al
in Tuscaloosa before they return to life in soci­ety.
The main purpose of the program is to motivate
he patients to take some initiative. "The main pro-lem
is that these people are so unambitious," said
tullington, who was elected in March to head the
Transitional Home mission for next year. "They
would be just as content to stay in their rooms and
leep all day. We are trying to get them keyed-up to
lo things. And most of all we are trying to show
hem that someone does care and love them."
Eight Transitional Homes are in operation
hroughout the state for both men and women. At
he home in Opelika, the patients live together on
he first floor of the house, two patients sharing a
iedroom and the entire group eating together as a
amily.
Throughout the week, the patients assume
ousehold duties such as cooking, sweeping, wash-ng
dishes, washing clothes and general house­keeping.
Each patient receives $10 monthly
rom the state and they also can receive personal
naintenance money in amounts based on the level
)f adjustment they have achieved.
Patients remain at the home until the staff feels
hey are ready to live on their own. Dan Abrams,
PG, who serves as a full-time director, lives at the
mmein a downstairs apartment with his wifeSyl-anai.
Another Auburn student, Jerry Matthews,
PG, and his wife Alice, also work and live at the
iome.
While in the home the patients are observed to
ee if progress is being made in adjusting to their
ew surroundings. Dr. Charles Lair, a consulting
sychologist, and Dr. James Walter , director of
le East Alabama Mental Health Center, decide
th Abrams whether a patient will remain at the
home or return to Bryce Hospital.
Abrams said he feels the patients already are
:apable of taking care of themselves before they
some to the Transitional Home. "There are people
in Bryce who should not be there because they are
out of contact with reality. It if weren't for the
Transitional. Homes they would have to stay in
Bryce, possibly for the rest of their lives.
"When working with these patients, you are fac­ing
years and years of conditioned apathy,"
Abrams explained. "Some of our patients have
been in a hospital for up to 17 years. Thev have sat
by themselves in a hospital room and didn't both­er
anyone so they wouldn't get in trouble. A social
institution is a deprived environment, and after
so many years it is not easy to change this environ­ment.
But that's what we're trying to do at the
Transitional Home," he said.
Through a recreational program, the Auburn
BSU students help the patients learn to interact
with each other before going into the broader rela­tionships
in society. The program has included
bingo, singing and the patients' favorite, bowling.
Ping pong, badminton and croquet facilities are
available when the patients feel motivated to use
them.
The week before Valentine's Day the patients
made decorations for the party they had the next
week. They have also made crepe-paper flowers to
decorate their rooms, and a picnic and other out­ings
are planned during spring quarter.
Besides the weekly two-hour sessions with the
students, the patients attend classes at a Day Care
Center in Opelika where they learn such skills as
ceramics, sewing and woodwork. Some of the
patients also attend classes at the Opelika
Achievement Center where they obtain voca­tional
training and individual . counseling.
One 27-year-old patient is learning to be a switch­board
operator.
The Transitional Home in Opelika was started
in June, 1973. Since then about 21 people have
gone through the home. Ten female patients from
Lee, Chambers, Russell and Tallapoosa counties
live there at one time. The home in Huntsville
houses both men and women, but Abrams said the
Opelika home will never be mixed. He said because
the number of women who can come to the home is
being exhausted, it is possible that in six months
the ODelika home will be converted to a men's
home.
The BSU program was begun in January and
the students report that a great deal of progress al­ready
is visible. Jerry Coryell described it as "very
fulfijling."
The first time the group went, one patient would
not come out of her room or even get out of bed. At
the time, it was all the students could do because
the patients are not forced to attend the sessions.
The next week the woman would talk to the stu­dents,
but would still not leave her bed. The third
week, after they had made the paper flowers the
week before, the students brought potted plants.
The woman was more receptive to this, but still
wouldn't openly communicate or participate.
At the end of a month, the students had to offer
no encouragement. When asked if she would like to
help make decorations for the Valentine's party
she replied, "I'd love to!" "It was as simple as
that," Bullington said.
If the home's staff decides the patients are ready
to take the next step before going back into society,
the home has set up a program where patients can
live on their own in a downstairs apartment.
Though still under supervision, they are free to
come and go within Opelika as they please and are
given money to buy food and clothing. After this
final adjustment period, they are released from the
state's care and are free to live anywhere.
The BSU program seeks to create opportunities
for communication and friendship with the
patients while at the same time teaching. The stu­dents
maintain a policy that if a student wants'to
help, he must do so on a regular basis so the
patients will learn to know and trust him. Stu­dents
and patients are on a first-name basis, and
Abrams suggests that the students call during the
week just to talk to the patients, go for a walk or
take them shopping.
Abrams said that at one time there were as many
as 10 different groups coming to visitthehome. He
said the college students seem to be most effective
because they are more enthusiastic and perhaps
more dedicated to come back week after week.
"Sometimes the patients and students develop
attachments and sometimes they don't. It just
takes more of an effort to develop a relationship
and the students are more willing to put forth that
effort," he said. / '
The ideal situation would be to have an equal
number of students and patients, Abrams added.
This would provide a one-to-one basis for
communication and would help the patients to
open up to the students and eventually to more out­siders.
"It's hard for me sometimes to work with
any one particular patient because the other pa­tients
are soanxiousto talk to somebody. I feel so
helpless when somany of them want attention that
I really wish more students would get involved,"
Butler said.
The group meets at the Baptist Student Center
on College Street each Thursday at 6 p.m. before
going to Opelika. The program is open to all stu­dents.

. Auburn has received a
$21,200 increase in funds to
strengthen its research pro­gram
on coccidiosis in cattle
and sheep, said Arthur W.
Cooper, deputy administra­tor
of the Department of Agri­culture's
Agricultural
Research Service (ARS).
Auburn is one of 18 loca­tions
in the Southern Region,
which includes 13 states plus
Puerto Rico and the Virgin Is­lands,
sharing in added ap­propriations
totaling a net in­crease
of $1,062,544 for the
current fiscal year. Cooper
said.
"This increased ARS
research support in theSouth-ern
Region has been made
in recognition of the need for
expanded effort in several
areas of vital importance to
agriculture, consumers, and
to a continuation of the na­tion's
expert market capabil­ity,''
Cooper said.
He said a major part of the
additional -funds are being
used to support research of
efficiency in production and
management of livestock,
including methods for pre­vention
and control of ani­mal
diseases; soybean breed­ing
and production; grass and
forage production; improved
methods for protecting and
measuring sugar quantity;
improved efficiency in stor­age
and handling of agricul­tural

Marketing 'prophet' sees 10-15 year stability
Contradicting many of the
contemporary prophets of
American society, the chair­man
of a national committee

predicted great stability for

In a speech to business stu­dents
last week in Auburn,
Dr. William Lazer discounted
far-reaching effects of youth
rebellion, the women's move­ment
and communal living
predicted by others.

can Marketing Association
and internationally recog­nized
authority on business
administration, was on cam­pus
for a two-day visit. He
shared the findings of the
committee in a variety of
areas, and particularly in
reference to marketing.
"There is a great stability in
American society," he stated,
maintaining that young
people tend to "adopt the
basic core values when they
are 30 or responsible for their
own families."
He predicted that the 25-34
age group would have the
biggest impact on economics
"from here to tl e end of the
century."
In forecasting life in the
United States foV the next 15
years, Lazer said, "Educa­tion
plays a major role. It is
society's best in"estment.
"If you look a; agriculture,
you can see th|e impact of
education. We halve developed
the best technology and the
university is responsible. No
other country does as well."
He continued, "In the Uni­ted
States, universities have
become the laboratories of
society. When society has pro­blems,
the universities try to
solve them."
Lazer said further research
and development is needed
now to increase productivity.
"In the 1980s, a great propor­tion
of the work force will be
over 65 and social security
and life standards will have
to be supported. Greater pro­ductivity
is the answer."
Lazer predicted an increase
in graduate school enroll­ment
and more interdisci­plinary
courses between
schools of business and peo­ple
in engineering, physics
and other areas where "a man
working in a laboratory is
elevated to a managerial
position and it's a whole new
ball game."
He also predicted two-chil­dren
families, with more
money to spend on each child,
and "less fettered socially
and economically to bring
about a great demand for ser-
People will marry at a later
age, he said, "become swing­ing
grandparents early,
divorce and re-marry." The
family may change, he said,
but it will not disintegrate.
Minority groups and
women will become better
educated, with "the biggest
change in the working class
and among women who were
formerly beasts of burden,"
he said. Business will have to
become acclimated to the
working wife, Lazer said, sug­gesting
that even more ser­vices
will become necessary
as the home becomes more a
"factory" operation.
By 1985, real income will
have increased as much as in
the last 50-year period, Lazer
said. What the top three per
cent could afford in 1947, over
half the population will be
able to afford, he added.
There will still be poor
people, he said, and 20 per
cent of the population will
have less than one-half of the
median income.
Lazer said his committee
does not see a major nuclear
war in the next decade, but
said he feels skirmishes will
continue, "particularly the
tribal wars in Africa." Lazer
said, "That is the country to
watch."
Lazer did not predict any
change in underdeveloped
countries. "Their biggest pro­blem
is not in developing tech­nology,
but in limiting
population." He said he feels
major powers, including the
United States, will be more
concerned with their own
countries.

Camp Auburn:
By Kathy Suhorsky
Associate Editor
Camp Auburn isn't a recreation area
for nature lovers; it isn't even a camping
ground for Boy Scouts. Camp Auburn,
located off Highway 28 near a Universi­ty
forestry tract, is a former convict labor
camp.
One of the least known spots near the
campus, Camp Auburn was closed April
27, 1967. All the prisoners are gone but
the buildings remain — a grim reminder
of the days when they housed convicts
from all over Alabama. Today the build­ings
are used for storing state highway
department equipment.
Camp Auburn is one of many prison
camps built during the 1930s to house the
convict laborers who did road work for •
the Highway Department. The prison­ers
were rented by the Highway Depart­ment
which paid a certain amount per
prisoner to the Prison Department.
The Highway Department furnished
supervision and housing while the
Prison Department supplied food and
clothing. At one time, as many as 2,200
prisoners were at work on the highways.
The Auburn camp, like all road camps
built since 1934, was constructed accord­ing
to a uniform housing plan. The build­ings
were made of wood with an office for
the warden and a small dormitory and
mess hall for the guards.
There were two convict dormitories.
each designed to hold 40 prisoners sleep­ing
in bunk beds. Today these rooms are
empty, only the screened windows and
the metal locked gates give any indica­tion
of their former use.
The mess hall consisted of rows of 800-
pound cement tables built into the floor.
O. C. Burgess, a clerk at the state High­way
Department who remembers the
' days when there were prisoners at Camp
Auburn, said the tables were con­structed
of cement so the prisoners
couldn't pick them up and possibly hurt
one of the guards.
The convicts were served cafeteria-style
from a kitchen with a big stove and
a walk-in freezer. For every 10 prisoners
the Highway Department rented they
were given one man called a "flunkie,"
Burgess recalled. The department did not
have to pay the flunkie who worked
around the camp, cleaning and cooking.
A few medical supplies and cots were
available in a small infirmary wing. The
prisoners could gather around a stove in
the recreation room and play cards,
watch TV or listen to the radio.
Constructed at a cost of about $11,000
to $12,000, the camp had hot and cold
running water and inside toilet facil­ities.
It was entirely surrounded by a 10-
foot barbed wire stockade about 300 feet
square.
Burgess said the prisoners, who were
in for crimes ranging from murder on
down, came from all over Alabama but
A guard's view of the camp, looking over the exercise oreo
not many were fromthe area north of Bir­mingham.
The 50-60 prisoners who were likely to'
be at the camp at one time were divided
into eight different crews when they
went to work on the highways. The pris­oners
cut right of ways and grass, picked
up trash and dug ditches, he explained.
The prisoners were moved from Camp
Auburn when a warden came in who pre­ferred
to use free labor, said Burgess.
They were transferred to Childersburg,
Alex City and Heflin.
Today there are about 500-600 prison­ers
working on the highways. They are
checked out of Draper Prison and housed
in one of the nine road camps still in
operation.
Now there are no prisoners at Camp
Auburn. Two or three men look after the
buildings and the equipment, unlike the
force of eight who used to supervise the
prisoners. The buildings remain, wood­en
shells filled with dust and old high­way
signs.
Abandoned cars now occupy the area
where the prisoners once exercised and
the barbed wire fence has come down in
many places. There are no guards in the
towers, only a family of wasps. Camp Au­burn,
and the memory of the prisoners
detained there, is dying.

Doobie Brothers tonight
ends A U concert year
DOOBIE BROTHERS TO PERFORM TONIGHT IN COLISEUM
. . . Last big concert of the year begins at 8:30
By David Nordness
Entertainment Editor
The Doobie Brothers,
whose songs are in nearly
every rock groups' program
and topping every chart, are
in concert tonite at 8:30 in the
I Coliseum. Also appearing is
Henry Gross, former member
of Sha Na Na.
The concert is the final
major Coliseum entertain­ment
of the year according to
Fred Harris, Student Govern­ment
Entertainment Chair­man.
Present ticket sales and
an expected heavy sales
today should make ' the
concert another success.
The consistent quality of
the vocals and constant
rythym in their music has
made all three of the Doobie
Brothers' albums a success
and kept their singles high on
the charts.
One of the groups' earliest
successes was a recording of
"Jesus is just alright" on their
"Toulouse Street" album.
Real recognition came with
"Long Train Runnin,"
"China Grove," and "Cap­tain
and Me" off the album of
the same name.
Their most recent- album
has been "What were once
Vices are now Habits" with
one cut "Another park,
Another Sunday" already
high on the record polls.
The group itself of Tom
Johnston, on guitar and vo­cals;
"Little John" Hartman,
on drums and congas; Pat
Simmons, on guitar and vo­cals;
Tiran Proter, on bass
and vocals; and the newest
addition to the group, drum­mer
Keith Knudsen. None are
brothers.
Seating at the Concert will
be general admission and all
tickets will be $5.

Auburn Knights swing
in Tuesday*'s concert
By Annette Norris
Plainsman Staff Writer
Whether you prefer the
smooth, easy swinging sound
of Glenn Miller's "In the
Mood," the fifties chords of
rock and roll, or the driving
rhythms of Chicago, you'll
hear something you like at an
Auburn Knight's perfor­mance
Tuesday night at 8 in
Langdon Hall.
The ensemble has been an
important musical organiza­tion
on the Auburn campus
for more than four decades.
The orchestra, has become a
veritable institution at
Auburn since their organiza­tion
in 1928.
In the 1930's, the Knights
played summer engagements
at resort ballrooms, hotels,
and casinos along the east­ern
seaboard. On some of
these early engagements,
Auburn University musi­cians
had the opportunity to
meet and jam with big name
bands and stars of the big
band era, including Tommy
Dorsey, Frank Sinatra,
Buddy Rich, and Ziggy
Elman.
For a brief period of two or
three semesters during World
War II, the Knights suspen­ded
their musical activities,
emerging with a new band in
1946. The Knights have con­tinued
strong to the present
day.
The band has produced
some excellent musicians,
some of whom have gone on to
careers as professional musi­cians
after graduation. These
ranks include clarinetist
Gerald Yelverton, 1938, who
played with Glenn Miller and
other name bands and was
ranked with Benny Good­man,
and Urbie Green, a free
lance trombonist in New
York, performing and read­ing
with many of the music
greats of the last few years.
Today, over 300 ex-knights
belong to the Auburn Knights
Alumni Association. The
Knights hold an annual re­union
each summer, drawing
former Auburn musicians
from over the Southeast, with
occasional performances by
• some of the more . illustrious
alumni.
As in the past, the Auburn
Knights Orchestra is a collec­tive
band, owned by the stu­dents
who play in it. The pre­sent
Auburn Knights, includ­ing
16 players and one
vocalist, plays for ban- nets,
conventions, dances, and con­certs.
Their large repetoire
covering almost a half a cen­tury
of musical tastes can
entertain almost any age
group.
One of the brightest, most
outrageous comedians of re­cent
years, David Steinberg
will perform in the Student
Activities Building Tuesday
night at 8 as part of the Hori­zons
IV speaker program.
Steinberg has limited his
performance to 1,500 people,
said Horizons Chairman
James Hood. Doors will be
closed as soon as the seats are
filled. Steinberg will do a
comedy routine instead of
speaking formally.
