              Trustees reject housing plan; appove new athletic program
By Steele Holman
Editor
The Auburn University Boa-i of
Trustees rejected by a 6-2 vote Friday a
proposal by President Harry M. Philpott
to allow dorm residents to choose their
own degree of security and to allow men
to rent higher-priced dorm rooms.
The trustees did, however, approve
Philpott's proposals to change the
Athletic Department by adding a posi­tion
of assistant athletic director for
women's programs, who would then
help select a women's athletic staff.
Both of the proposals were made to br­ing
the University into compliance with
the guidelines set up by the Department
of Health, Education, and Welfare to im­plement
Title IX of the Educational
Amendment of 1972. Title IX prohibits
discrimination by sex in colleges which
receive federal aid.
The housing proposal, based on
recommendations made last summer by
a student-faculty committee, would have
given each dormitory the right to choose
what level of security it desires, within
University-set limits. They could set up
their own policies about visitation,
curfews, and other internal rules.
However, Philpott's proposal made it
clear that at least some dorms would
have full-security regulations, much like
' the present ones, and the residents there
could not vote to remove the security
measures.
The proposal would also have given
men access to the full quality range of
University housing, meaning that men
conceivably could occupy a dorm on the
Hill or in the Quad. Men would not oc­cupy
the same buildings as women, the
proposal stated.
The recommendation also called for a
uniform housing brochure and contract,
and a new rate structure for housing
was devised.
Trustee Jack Tatum moved that the
proposals be rejected. Trustees Harris,
Walston Hester, Smith, Bamberg,
Tatum, and Henry Steagall voted to re­ject
them, while new trustees Sue
Fincher and Supt. of Education Wayne
Teague, Jr. voted against rejection.
Walston Hester had earlier asked
Philpott what would happen if the
recommendations were voted down. In
reply, Philpott said, "if we hold to our
present system as it is established, we
would be in noncompliance with the
guidelines. Conceivably, we would lose
federal funds."
"It strikes me that this is just coming
in the back door to an open dorm policy
in the University," Harris said, adding
that the proposal would bring about
what "seems like a long-range un­wholesome
arrangement."
"We fully support the goal of equal op­portunity
for women and men in educa­tion
and employment and intend to do
all in our power to uphold it," Harris
said. "However, our first responsibility
is to the students of this University and
to the people of this state.
"We are not at liberty to pursue
policies that threaten to destroy the
teachings of high moral principles,
which are the essential foundations to
any learning experience.
"We do not intend to do any course for
the simple purpose of the defiance of
lawful authority. Similarly, however,
we will not blindly follow a dictated
policy that offers no good and threatens
much disturbance to the primary
responsibility to this institution,"
Harris continued, reading a hand­written
statement on the back of an
envelope.
SGA President Bert Young told the
trustees that "there will be a choice
between a secure dorm and a nonsecure
dorm, and that choice will be ably made
by students before they start the year.
"Dr. Philpott has said that once a set
of rules are arrived at for a dorm, those
rules will apply until next year, within
University parameters. In my opinion,
these proposals should be adopted,"
Young said.
"We could end up with one or 10 un-secure
dorms. If so, it would happen that
way because of the choice of the
students. Priority would be given to
those wanting security," Philpott said.
Harris told the group he thought that
pressure from other students might force
students to choose (insecure housing

Louis Anderson, 2PB, said he felt the
Board of Trustees "was more concerned
with Title IX" than his. complaint of be­ing
refused treatment* at the Student
Health Center in a Saturday morning
trustee-student meeting.
The charge arose from a situation
which occurred during final exams fall
quarter, when a night duty nurse refus­ed
to call a doctor to examine Anderson
after he complained of abdominal pains.
The pains turned out to be appen­dicitis,
according to Dr. Richard Harris
of Montgomery, Anderson's family
physician.
Anderson explained that he went
before the Board of Trustees "to let them
know what happened." He added that
he has not yet talked to University
President Harry M. Philpott.
Trustee Charles M. Smith III of
Montgomery said in reply to Anderson's
comments that he considered the Health
Center to be a "glorified first-aid sta­tion."
Questions?
Anderson agreed. "Right now, that's
all it is," he said. "If you put down
money at all, you should get
something," he said referring to the $15
allocated to the Health Center from
Auburn tuition.
Trustee Robert Harris of Decatur said,
"There is no magic formula to solve
this."
After Anderson presented his com­plaint
to the Board, Harris asked him if
he had any suggestions concerning
policy changes to prevent something
like what happened to Anderson from
happening again.
Anderson suggested that if a person
calls twice requesting a doctor the physi­cian
should be notified.
Anderson said he felt his complaint
"was better presented to the trustees as
a whole," rather than in meetings with
individual trustees as was done last
year.
He said he thought it would also "give
the other students a chance to tell of any
complaints they may have."

Estimated $15 dormitory increase voted for fall
By Steele Holman
Editor
On-Campus students face a 12 per cent
increase in their room and board fees be­ginning
summer quarter because of in­creased
salaries and food costs. The in­crease
was approved at Friday's Board of
Trustees meeting.
The increase will be about $15 per-per-son
for almost all dormitories. The in­crease
for a single room with a telephone
in Magnolia Hall will be $22, and the in­crease
in Dorm 12 will be $14. The food
price increase will also be 12 per cent.
The increase was necessary because of
"recent salary increases for dormitory
and Food Service employes and the con­tinuing
increase in the cost of materials
and supplies," the resolution stated.
University Bursar Ernest Phillips said
Wednesday that the $15 charge assessed
to on-campus students who don't buy cer­tain
meal plans would remain in effect.
The extra charge is used for debt retire­ment
for bonds which financed the dorm­itories
and cafeterias.
The Board also agreed to lease five
acres of land adjacent to the Mont­gomery
campus to the State Department
of Public Health for 30 years for the con­struction
of a public health laboratory.
Philpott was given the Board's per­mission
to make discretionary decisions
regarding the purchase of University ve­hicles.
A mistake in the wording of a
University loan to Alpha Tau Omega
fraternity for $32,000, approved at the
last trustee meeting, was corrected by the
Board.
The Board heard a debate between
Academic Vice President Taylor Little­ton
and SGA President Bert Young on
the merits of changing the academic cal­endar.
Trustee Bob Harris, saying that
he had heard requests that the calendar
be changed, asked that written argu­ments
for and against changing the cal­endar
be sent to the trustees.
New calendar considered by Board
Board explains votes to students
By Christy Hudgins
Managing Editor
Speaking to students in Saturday's trustee question sess­ion,
six members of the Auburn Board of Trustees explained
why they voted as they did on the guidelines recommended to
them by President Harry Philpott.
The guidelines, while rejecting the concept of coed dormi­tories,
called essentially for the development of a secure vs.
non-secure dorm system. Students under this system would be
able to select whether they wished to live in an unlocked dorm
with visitation by members of the opposite sex(non-secure) or
a locked dorm without visitation (secure).
Four of the six trustees present at the meeting (four did not
attend) voted against Philpott's resolution. Charles M. Smith
HI said he was speaking for the Board when he said that he
was not rejecting the Title IX guidelines but only waiting un­til
the matter could be given more study and some changes
made in the proposal.
Trustee Walston Hester said, however, that he was "hop­ing
for a test case to come up on this."
Several rsasons were given for the rejection of Philpott's
recommendations by the trustees. Hester said the reason he
voted against it was "because I had a daughter here who told
me, 'Daddy, we might not have on anything but our panties
and bras and we couldn't walk across the hall.'"
State Rep. Robert H. Harris said he was "perfectly willing to
try to design a program which would preserve the quality of
good we have here at present," while trying to meet HEW
specifications. He later added that he felt it was the Board's
"duty to consider the impact of the recommendations on the
student."
"I'm not fully convinced there are not reasons of security
and administration which must be considered," said Harris.
"I'm not happy with the security and nonsecurity dorms.
They're fraught with potential problems. It should be poss­ible
to develop a standard for all our dormitories," Harris
continued.
A student making reference to the continued mention of the
word "morality" in the Friday trustee meeting in which the
recommendations were rejected, said Auburn already had se­cure
and nonsecure adjacent dorms with Magnolia.
Hester replied saying, "I think you ladies need more protec­tion
than the men...You have protection in a ladies' dorm."
A former director of a women's dorm at the University of
Alabama said she opposed male visitation on the grounds
that girls at Alabama were "being imposed on. Guys usually
have somewhere else to go. When a girl brings a guy in her
room you don't want to impose on them." She opposed the un­locked
door policy saying that there was no way to keep intru­ders
out, leading to rapes and stabbings.
When the trustees were questioned about why they referred
to students as kids and girls and boys, Harris replied that
"When you think of a student body you've got both age ex­tremes.
It's hard to make one single category."
Trustee Sue Fincher, who along with Trustee Wayne
Teague voted for the acceptance of the recommendations sub­mitted
by Philpott, said "kids is an unfortunate word. We all
use it."
Trustees voting against the Title IX recommendations said
they could not comment on the changes they would like to see
on the Philpott proposal.
Smith said he couia hot say anything until he heard from
the committees. Answering a student's question, he added
that he was not aware that there was a Title IX guidelines stu­dent
committee. (Philpott derived his recommendations to the
Board from the studies of nine faculty-student committees.)
Trustee Henry B.Steagall also said he could not state his
position on changes he would like to see in Philpott's
recommendations.
In questioning the decision to reject the proposals, students
probed possible reasons including moral implications and
political ramifications for such a decision.
Board members stoutly defended their "responsiveness to
the entire University."
In reply to a student pointing out the fact that this is an elec­tion
year and Board members are political appointees.Stea-gall
said he found the Board to be responsive and democratic.
"This is not a political thing." emphasized Smith.
Hester joined in the discussion saying "I assure you there's
going to be a big change in this country in November. If
there's not we're going to be in big trouble."
Harris who has consistently opposed male visitation on the
grounds that Auburn is a state university and should there­fore
be responsive to the state and the people of the state,
when asked why male visitation was allowed at the Univer­sity
of Alabama said that he was not sure "that parents
hadn't objected to the University of Alabama rules."

A majority of the Board members
present at a student-trustee meeting
Saturday generally favored changing
the academic calendar so fall quarter
would end two weeks earlier. However,
they said they would like to study the
change before approving it.
Tommy Eden, SGA Vice President,
said one student brought up the subject
at the student-trustee meeting in order to
inform the Board that the University
Senate had not been presented with the
proposed change when it approved the
1976-77 calendar.
Eden said he felt Dr. Harry M, Philpott
had led the Board to believe that the Un­iversity
Senate had been given alter­natives,
when actually, he said, they
had been given no other choice.
Trustee Charles M. Smith III said,
"I'm in favor of the calendar change,
and will do what I can to promote it. But
right now it needs more study."
Trustee Henry Steagall was booedloud-ly
when he said he would "prefer the
semester system."
TrusteeWalstonHester Said he felt the
calendar change would cause a
hardship for working students. "In the
SGA survey, 700 students voted against
the calendar change. These were
probably the working students," he said.
Trustee Robert H. Harris said he ap­proved
the change, but he felt "the
schedule must serve academic needs
first before concentrating on con-venience."
Trustee Sue Fincher strongly opposed
the change.
"I can see why students would like it
but I don't go along with it," she said. "I
feel going back one week early is
ridiculous. Also, the University break
coincides with the public school vaca­tion,
so I can have all my children at
home at the same time."
While the Board has voiced support,
Philpott and Dr. Taylor D. Littleton,
vice president for academic affairs said
they are opposed to the plan, and say the
faculty "clearly opposes it."
The University cannot afford to have
such a long inactive period, Littleton
said.
No student basketball charge planned
By Mark Dyer and Jody Welker
Plainsman Staff Writers
The Auburn basketball program will
lose $150,000 in 1976 even with revenue
from the student activities fee, accord­ing
to Bill Beckwith, athletic business
manager.
If 6,000 students paid $1 for 10 home
games, it would add $60,000 in revenue
for the basketball budget, he added.

However there will be no charge this
year, according to Dennis Womack,
administrative assistant with the Au­burn
Athletic Ticket office.
Womack said there are no plans for
any future admission charges. Such a
' charge would have to be approved by Lee
Hayley, Auburn University athletic
director, the athletic committee, and Uni­versity
President Harry M. Philpott be­fore
it would go into effect.
Beckwith and Womack agreed that a
$1 charge for tickets might prevent the
casual basketball fan from attending a
game because it was free, and would al­low
the avid fan to get a ticket.
Beckwith pointed out that many stu­dents
got tickets to the Auburn-Mississ­ippi
State game because they were being
handed out along with the Alabama tic­kets.
Only five of 6000 people who were
given Alabama tickets refused tickets to
the Mississippi State game, according to
Beckwith.
Womack and Beckwith listed several
plans to control the large crowds attend­ing
basketball games. One possibility is
to issue different colored tickets for each
game, and to give only one ticket per per­son.
Another plan is to issue season tic­kets
along the same system.
By another system tickets could be
given out alphabetically, perhaps with
last names beginning with A-L going to
one game, and M-Z going to the other.
Beckwith pointed out that Auburn has
, one of the best situations for students in
the Southeastern Conference, when com­pared
to Kentucky, where only 3,400 stu­dents
get tickets to the game.

Appointments shift Senate jobs
By John Carvalho
Assistant News Editor
The appointments of John
Bush, 2PL,to replace Gordon
Isbell as Arts and Sciences
Senator and Anita Gentle,
4AC, to replace Al Thompson
as Business Senator were ap­proved
by the Senate at its
meeting Tuesday.
In other action, the Senate
added two students to the
University Discipline Com­mittee,
passed a change in the
Code of Laws, defeated reso­lutions
concerning basket­ball
ticket distribution and
the Board of Trustees, and
passed a resolution com­mending
former football
coach Ralph "Shug" Jordan.
Bush was appointed to the
Senate by SGA President Bert
Young to replace Isbell, who
resigned from the Senate be­cause
he was leaving Auburn
to enter dental school.
Gentle was forced to resign
from the Senate fall quarter
due to illness. Thompson was
appointed to her post for fall
quarter, after Senate Presi­dent
Tommy Eden ruled that
she could return to the Senate
winter quarter.
Cathy Raymond, Senate
clerk, was appointed to the
University Descipline Com­mittee
to replace Alison
McClure, who resigned. Ray­mond
had been an alternate
to the committee. Bob Burle­son
was approved as an alter­nate,
replacing Raymond.
The Code of Laws change,
which was sponsored by
Kathy Graves, would allow
The World
This Week
banners to be hung from the
balcony overlooking War
Eagle Dining Hall.
Graves explained that there
is no such provision in the
Campus Advertising Law,
and the Union Building staff
had asked that such a provi­sion
be made.
The phrase, "and desig­nated
areas in the Auburn
Union," was added to the sec­tion
dealing with allowed
locations of signs and pos­ters.
The resolution concerning
the Board of Trustees, which
read "the Student Senate ex­presses
its deep sorrow that
the Board of Trustees ques­tions
the moral character and
integrity of the men and
women of Auburn Univer­sity,"
was defeated after
much debate.
Lindy Harper spoke
against the resolution saying,
"It sounds sarcastic. It's the
wrong way of doing it." .
Nanc i McCray, also speak­ing
against the resolution,
said the resolution was "play­ing
politics," and was use­less.
An ad-hoc committee, made
up of senators Randy Pitt-man,
Jenelle Mims, McCray,
and Carl Rush were ap­pointed
to work on a resolu­tion
similar to the one de­feated
by the Senate.
The resolution concerning
basketball ticket distribution
was sponsored by Suzanne
Westbrook, Steve Boucher,
and Steve Monk. It recom­mended
that tickets be dis­tributed
from 5 p.m. until 9
p.m., that distribution be
moved indoors, and that a
committee be formed to figure
out a better distribution poli­cy
for next year.
Gus Lott said that there will
be no change this quarter,.
since $400 has been spent for .
posters to publicize the pre­sent
distribution policy, so
such a resolution would have
no effect.
The resolution commend­ing
Coach Jordan was spon­sored
by outgoing Senator Al
Thompson. It was passed un­animously.

Angry Nigerian demonstrators protesting United
States policy towards Angola broke into the grounds of
the U.S. embassy, plastering slogans on windows and
throwing sticks and stones at the building. There were
no injuries. The attack was the culmination of a protest
demonstration in which some 2,000 Nigerians marched
four miles from Yaba on the Nigerian mainland to the
embassy on Lagos Island. The attack followed two simi­lar
ones elsewhere in Nigeria.
Spain's worst labor strife in years idled 75,000 workers
across the country and closed five large plants in the
Madrid area alone. Police in the capital routed hundreds
of demonstrators demanding higher pay, but no injuries
occured. On the political front, Barcelonia police ar­rested
13 rightists on charges of assaulting Basque sym­pathizers
in retaliation for the recent killing of 30 police-men
in Basque areas of the country.

Dean sees 'discontent'
Growing discontent with
public education is symp­tomatic
of our times, accor­ding
to Auburn University's
new Dean of Education Dr.
Jack Blackburn, who took up
the reins in his new position
Jan. 1.
Discontent is not reserved
for the educational process,
he points out. "Throughout
the public segment there is
discontent with most every
kind of institution we have. I
think that there ought to
always be questions about
schools. We ought to change
as the needs demand that we
change, based upon our best
a v a i l a b l e information."
Blackburn states.
Noting, that schools are
being called to more accoun­tability,
Blackburn suggests
that, more importantly, the
issue is "accountability for
what?".
"Somebody says 'I want
my child to be able to do this
by a certain time' and that
could be very desirable. But
that child may not be able to
do that, and it may not be
the teacher's fault.
"I do think we should hold
teachers accountable for cer­tain
kinds of professional ex­pertise,
and I think univer­sities
should be held accoun­table
for helping them ac­quire
the expertise.
"One of the things we tend
not to hold people accoun­table
for enough is the whole
idea of designing curricula
and instruction in schools,"
Blackburn says.
Blackburn says he feels
that schools are not faced
with one particular kind of
problem but a multiplicity of
them. One of the most dif­ficult
is that relating to a
philosophy of education.
"I prefer to distinguish
between 'schooling' and
'education'," he remarked.
"Education is a lifelong
process. Schooling, when a
p e r s o n is in grades
kindergarten through 12, or
even graduate school, is just
a part of the process of educa­tion.
"I think a lot of the school­ing
going on was designed
for previous times. One of the
greatest problems of some
schooling today is that it
hasn't caught up with the
times."
An example, Blackburn
notes, is the tendency to lump
all students together, expec­ting
them to do the same
thing.
"I don't think we do
enough to work individually
with students," he says.
Individualized instruction
would not necessarily mean
that more teachers would be
needed, but it would require
more hands, Blackburn ex­plained,
such as non­professional
aides.
"I think that communities
have to assume more respon­sibility
for the education of
its students. That might be
t h r o u g h finding more
avenues of financing, but
communities can help in
other ways through parental
help in making the school
more community oriented, in­volving
parents and even
other students, as instruc­tional
aides," he points out.
Blackburn, former chair­man
of the division of
curriculum and instruction at
the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill, cited
a model program in Colum­bia,
S. C, where this ap­proach
has proved
successful.
"The greater rewards
appeared to be in the spin-off,
like in the reduction of van-d
a l i s m , disciplinary
problems and absenteeism.
There was also more pride
and fewer complaints from
parents," he says.

Blackburn is committed to
cooperative efforts between
the university, public schools
the state department of
education and professional
organizations in the educa­tion
of university students.
Referring to the Educational
Professional Development
Program in which Auburn
participated on a pilot basis
for two years, he expressed
hope that the program will be
refunded.
"One of the things I'm
most interested in is trying to
combine to devise some ways
in which the energies of the
university can best be used.
In the past, I think most
educational preparation
programs have tried to use a
shot-gun approach in which
we tried to be everything to
everybody. There's a great
merit to that, but I'm not sure
that that, in itself, helps im­prove
schooling for young
people as much as some other
approaches that might be
used," Blackburn states.
One approach might be to
develop a model community
program involving several
schools or school systems
concentrating efforts on
developing various com­petencies,
he suggested.
Although he is a newcomer
to Alabama, Blackburn
recalls that he has known of
the high rating of Auburn
University from his school
days in Panama City.
"I think an institution with
the reputation and resources
such as Auburn, a major in­stitution,
can try to continue
to find some ways to improve
t h e preparation of
educational personnel. The
one we've talked about is, I
think, a very viable ap­proach,
and this school has
an outstanding reputation
for leadership in teacher
preparation.
"But also, I think that the
question well worth discuss­ing
is what the role of such
an institution should be," he
added, noting that a lot of
places in each state have
primary roles in the prepara­tion
of teachers.
"The question is whether a
major institution should be
doing the same thing that
other colleges are doing, or,
as a leader in higher educa­tion,
try to come up with
some new ways of doing
things and set some new
priorities.
"The question ought to be
raised and aired, even if the
answer is not 'yes'.
Full house
There's more than.one way to pass the time while
waiting to get into the coliseum, a s shown by these four
Auburn students who were hoping for a good seat at
Saturday's Bama game. Rather than spend several
hours standing in the winter winds, a deck of cards was
produced, a game started, and all thoughts of standing
in line were forgotten, for the moment, at least. Per­haps
one of the students was hoping for a full house, or
at least hoping to be a part of one later in the day.

The meetings: a worthy path
The Real Issue
During Friday's Board of Trustees meeting, the trustees rejected
President Harry M. Philpott's recommendations to change Univer-sitv
housinar Dolicies so that thev would comply with the Title IX
guidelines of the 1972 Educational Amendments. After the re­jection,
a committee was formed to study the matter further.
That committee, consisting of Trustees Bob Harris, Henry
Steagall, and Dr. Ralph Teague, was supposed to meet in Mont­gomery
Wednesday to discuss the guidelines with SGA president
Bert Young and Dr. Harold T. Grant, secretary of the Title IX co­ordinating
committee.
We hope that the committee and the whole Board, in its further
deliberations, will act on .the real issue at hand, whether students
will have the right to make their own choices, instead of acting on
the false issue of whether it is morally sound to allow unsecured
dorms.
We would also ask the Board to give weight to those views ex­pressed
by the students who attended the student-trustee meeting
Saturday morning.
The Calendar
With more than 82 per cent of Auburn students responding favor­ably
to the idea of a calendar change to end exams before Thanks­giving,
we are hopeful that in its Tuesday meeting the University
Senate will give the proposal fair consideration.
Such a calendar change would of course involve some diffi­culties—
a shortened period for maintenance during the summer,
a lot of paperwork, even curtailment of much of the Christ­mas
business for local merchants.
One big advantage of a change is that the students will have the
jump on the Christmas part-time job market. Starting fall quarter
two weeks earlier, however, would not place most summer workers
at a disadvantage, because most summer student jobs end in the
last part of August, to accommodate the return of students to
schools on the semester system.
One argument against ending fall quarter earlier is that we'd
have to start winter quarter before Christmas, and that's not aca­demically
sound. If it is so unsound academically to break winter
quarter, then it cannot be good to break fall quarter, either. Al­though
the class days following Thanksgiving are supposedly used
for review, new material is covered in almost every course.
The calendar change also seems more 'desirable • from a research
standpoint, giving faculty members five unbroken weeks for
research as opposed to three weeks in September and three and a
half weeks in December.
A change of this type is not an easy undertaking and would re­quire
careful planning by all departments of the University.
Students whose homes are a great distance from Auburn seldom
get to go home for Thanksgiving because of the expense involved in
going, then coming back, then going again for the Christmas holi­days.
It's a situation avoidable by changing the calendar.
We think these academic and non-academic reasons for moving
the calendar have some validity, and we hope the University Se­nate
will give them due consideration.

J
The student-trustee meeting Saturday
disappointed many of the 150 or so
students who came at that early hour.
But probably some of the trustees were
disappointed, too.
There are several reasons for this dis­appointment,
none of which is reason
enough to discontinue these important
meetings.
Most of the students' disappointment
comes from the fact that trustee think­ing
just doesn't jive with student think­ing.
Perhaps the students expected the trus­tees
to hear their grievances and ques­tions
about University policy, immedi­ately
agree with them, and pass resolu­tions
right there on the spot that would
set everything right with Auburn.
Another thing that disappointed the
students is the trustees' apparent lack of
knowledge of what's going on here. The
istudents' questions were met by blank
stares because the trustees didn't know
what the students were talking about.
Being a good trustee requires more time
than some of them seem to be giving the
job.
Most of these trustees have a frame of
reference wholly different from most of
Auburn's involved students. They're old­er
and more conservative. They have
other inputs to consider, not the least of
which are their consciences and what
they feel Alabama citizens desire in a
university.
This difference in frames of references
made many of the trustees' answers and
reasoning seem ridiculous to the stu­dents.
The trustees also had grounds for be­ing
disappointed. When SGA President
Bert Young requested a student-trustee
meeting at the fall Board meeting, one
trustee asked the student leaders to
please provide a crowd with a more di­verse
perspective than last year's group,
because it seemed hostile to them.
TRUSTEES, STUDENTS DIDN'T SEE EYE TO EYE
...But the meetings have great potential
Few students would enjoy sitting be­fore
an audience so hostile as the one
which met for the first student-trustee
meeting in fall quarter 1974. It's
generally not human nature to enjoy
antagonism. Trustee Bob Harris said
that Saturday's student group was at
least less antagonistic than the first had
been.
There's another side of the coin of stu­dent
disappointment that the Board did
not act immediately to solve Auburn's
problems as the students see them. It's
that the Board didn't feel prepared to act
because in many cases it simply did not
understand situations. This unpre­pared
ness caused the frequent state-'
ment of "it needs further study."
So the meeting disapointed us. The stu­dents
think the trustees are a bunch of
dull, close-minded rednecks who pur-posedly
ignore student input. The trus­tees
see the students who went to the
meeting as either children or radicals
who don't understand the situation. Yet
thereareconcrete benefits to the meeting.
The students gave the trustees an ear­ful
of what they think needs doing, and
that's something the trustees have
lacked in the past, except for talks with
student friends or children. Insofar as
it's important for the decision-makers to
know what their subjects want, the meet­ings
are extremely valuable.
That statement is easy to mouth, but
many of the riots and demonstrations on
non-Southern campuses were done for
the very right to have a say in univer­sity
matters. And these meetings we are
having may be a peaceful way to achieve
what others have gone to the streets to
gain.
The students who care about what hap­pens
here can be gratified that they are
having an input into the decision-mak­ing
process, and with care, that input can i
grow in importance.
There are some very desirable im­provements
that can be made on these
first two meetings.
The first is that they become regularly
scheduled events, and more than one
meeting per school year should be sche­duled.
They should occur before, not af­ter,
Board meetings that will affect stu­dent
life.
Next, some way to change the atmos­phere
of the meetings should be devised.
It shouldn't always be an adversary
situation, students against trustees.
There should be the attitude of "Come, let
us reason together" to work out knotty
problems, More diverse students view­points
are desirable.
This may be wishful thinking, but
more students would attend these meet­ings.
It may be wishful thinking because
the vast majority of the students are wil­ling
to let things flow along, either obli­vious
to what's going on .or content to
curse at the administration without do­ing
anything else.
There were complaints that only six
trustees attended Saturday's meeting.
But six out of 10 is a far better ratio than
150 students out of a student body of
more than 16,000. What a wonderful
problem it would be if too many students
showed up to contain them in Haley
Center 2370.
For the trustee's part, they should
come to the meetings willing to give stu­dent
opinions some weight when they
vote on school policies. They should stop
thinking of us as children, and they
should realize that those students who
attend the meetings aren't necessarily
radicals who represent a minority view-point,
but concerned students trying to
reflect what they feel is general student
opinion.
The trustees should be well ac­quainted
with student problem's before
they attend these meetings. Instead of
evading questions or saying "It needs
further study," they should develop defi­nite
opinions andpresent in a straight­forward
manner to the students.
If the student can be expected to be less
antagonistic toward the trustees, then
the trustees can treat us like adults, inex­perienced
though we may be.
Whatever the superficial results of
Saturday's meeting may be, it was a good
second step down a path well worth
following, toward free and reasonable
communication between the students
and the policymakers.
Misunderstanding causes Title IX fears
Health, Education and Welfare Title
IX guidelines—what are they?
One thing they are not is Title "X" as
one Auburn Trustee Board member mis­takenly
believes. Nor were they put out
by HUD as another expressed.
And although at least one dorm mo­ther
implied that if President Philpott's
guidelines were approved it might mean
coed dormitories in the fall, this, too, is
part of the legend which has grown up
around Title IX.
The onslaught of ideas surrounding
the HEW ruling are sparked by
fear—fear of changing the status quo
and fear of the unknown. Since the ma­jority
of students do not understand Ti­tle
IX and a correspondingly large num­ber
have not bothered to investigate its
implications, rumors are rampant and
their inaccuracy frightening.
For example, a number of women sub­mitted
a petition to the Board ofTrustees
voicing their opposition to coed dorms. In
his recommendations, Philpott stated
clearly that dormitories would besep-arate.
The students' action appears to have
been done at the urging of their house­mother,
who told the women that the
meeting had been called for them to voice
their opinions on coed dorms.
Other women have expressed fear of
being forced into a dorm situation with
male visitation and no locks on the
doors—the "unsecure" dorm referred to
in Philpott's recommendations. What
they have failed to realize is that under
the recommendations, both women and
men would be able to make the choice of
whether they wanted to live in a secure
dorm (with locks on the doors and no
male visitation) or an unsecure dorm.
The idea of letting the student choose
what type of dorm he would like to live in
has considerable merit. It guarantees
rights to persons on both sides of the is­sue.
The plan also calls for parental ap­proval
on dorm selection for those stu­dents
who are minors, which should help
relieve the fears of those students who be­lieve
freshman women "would go wild."

January 17, 1969, was a cloudy, over­cast
and freezing day in Prague, Czecho­slovakia.
I was with a group of other
American students, and we had just
placed a wreath at the foot of the major
statue in Wenceslas Square in memory of
the Czechs who had died resisting the
Russian invasion of their country in Au­gust,
1968.
We faced the national museum, whose
exterior had been shredded by tank fire
and machine-gun bullets; the faces of the
people in the trolleys coming* into the
square reflected the pensive sorrow of de­feat,
the bitterness of once again having
lost their freedom to a foreign invader. It
was shortly past noon.
Suddenly, in the midst of a crowd di­rectly
behind us, and no more than 10
feet away, a huge flame burst forth.
With instant expressions of horror fro­zen
on our faces, we witnessed the self-immolation
of a young Czech student,
literally dying in behalf of his country.
There was no screaming, no blood. The
intense heat from the gasoline which he

had poured over himself made it virtual­ly
impossible for anyone to get near
enough to help. Chunks of burning cloth
flew in all directions; eventually, in what
seemed like an eternity, some people of­fered
their frantic and futile aid to a pal­pable
shape of a human being who was
by now beyond all recognition.
To read about politically protesting
death is one matter; to witness it, and
have the image and seed forever planted
in one's mind is quite another thing. Jan
Palach, a 21-year-old philosophy major
at Charles University in Prague, died in
the name of, and for the cause of, human
freedom.
And so it is that seven years after his
death, in the 200th anniversary of our
country, I pa'ise a moment to reflect both
on the past yeai 's significance and on the
hopeful possibilities within 1976 of a-chieving
a greater degree of human
freedom for people around the world and
within the United States.
Arnold Toynbee, himself a believer in
orderly historical patterns, once remark­ed
that some historians hold the view
that history "is just one damned thing af­ter
another." Support for what he called
the "antinomian" view, or "freedom
from law" view seemed to come in 1975.
One damned thing after another, in­deed;
also one tragic, surprising and per­plexing
thing after another. The alarms,
the assassinations, the political! re­versals
and the extremist cries werequite
overwhelming. The common reaction "
"What a year!" followed quickly by
"What next?"
Abroad, the rush of action seemed
headlong and haphazard. There was
continued violence in Northern Ireland,
upheaval and high ranking death on the
Iberian Peninsula, kidnapping and vio­lence
in Italy and Germany, and con­tinued
tension and conflict in both the
Middle East and Indo-China. That's not
all. A new internal war in Africa has car­ried
over into this year, involving many
outside powers, including this country.
Around the world, inspired by mass
communications, tutored by the pioneer­ing,
millions of people, want more of the
good life. They feel more frustrated when
affluence, equality and education are too
slowly achieved.
In this heated situation, old insti­tutions
are too often archaic and unre­sponsive
to change.
Instead of plunging forward with his­tory,
the Kremlin continues its fear of the
"disease" of freedom;, one need look no
further than the continuance of the de­generate
symbol of mankind, the Berlin
Wall. The Vatican continues its ban of
the pill, a stance which brings many con­cerned
and religious people into conflict
with their consciences on issues involv­ing
social affairs.
Until recently, our own people had a
boundless faith in steady progress, a
growing sense of social justice, a belief
that federal cash would solve the na­tion's
remaining problems. Yet, this de­cade
which began with a quest for moral
grandeur, has bogged down in the effort
to keep society from exploding.
Gone is the idea that a big power can
safely fight a limited war against a small
power. Our vast New Dealish programs
have failed to cure poverty; civil rights
legislation has left all minorities more
frustrated than ever.
For all the American faith in uni­versal
higher education, many of the na­tion's
brightest youths have rebelled
against mass schooling that seems to ig­nore
their burning questions: What is the
good life, the nature of justice, the re­medy
for society's evils?
Whatever the issue or nation, some­thing
loosely called the "establishment"
resists aspiration and innovation. The
global result is growing impatience with
old political processes; a desire for direct
action is inflaming minds and causing
almost daily clashes that defy law and lo­gic.
Witness the violence of the PLO, the
IRA or our own SLA.
In the United States, 1975 found a
seeming national trend toward conser­vatism.
The solutions for social justice
are no nearer. Today's blaring headlines
convey a warning for 1976: the big news
is what isn't being done in a thousand lit­tle
ways.
For example, there is no longer any ex­cuse
for the intolerable living conditions
of some of our citizens, and it is incom­prehensible
how the courts' justice can be
applied with a whim depending on an
individual's financial status.
The mass of people fail to realize both
that the ability to change events lies in
their non-violent actions, and that their
inaction only perpetuates the existing
evils of society.
Non-violent action would include di­rect
participation in political and social
concerns, such as community work, vol­unteer
summer aid to the underpriv­ileged,
and a keen sense of responsibility
for voting in all elections at every level,
federal, state and local.
This year, like every year, should be
one of constant activity in the name of
justice, morality and human decency. In
the United States, women, blacks, In­dians,
students and all other minorities
should come to recognize that their
plight is interwoven.
Instead of harping on devisive second­ary
characteristics of sex, race, ethnic
background, etc., these groups should
unite in a common plea for benefits for
themselves, solely because they are in­dividuals,
equal with all others by the ve­ry
fact of their existence.
Freedom is the right of every individ­ual
to exercise his faculties as he will; its
rule is justice, its limits are the rights of
others, its source is nature, and its guar­antee
is the law of morality. The hope of
moral reformation in the name of hu­man
freedom therefore lies in the people,
whose sovereignty is one and indivi­sible,
and inalienable.
There are various ways of looking at
history: as fate, as chance, as an op­ponent
to be outwitted or a force from
which to hide. Americans treat it, at least
in part, as a problem to be mastered.
The words come back to haunt: "Amer­ican,
where are you now, don't you care
about your sons and daughters? Don't
you know we need you now?" Call it pride
or pragmatism, on this fundamental be­lief
the United States was founded and
still stands—that people, as Jan Palach
was on one fateful day, need not be vic­tims.
For those other students, who are of le­gal
age, it seems wrong to deny their
right to decide which type dorm they
would like to live in. Even within an
"unsecure" dorm there would be par­ameters
limiting the hours of visitation.
Visitation would not mean all night male
or female visitors, unless, as it is some-.
times seen now in Auburn's "secure"
dorms, a man is in the room illegally and
a roommate fails to protest.
One provision of Philpott's recom­mendations
called for women in a sec­ure
dorm to make their own rules aside
from changing the dorm to an unsecure
one. This would mean no visitation or
unlocked doors.
Some other ideas held by many is that
the guidelines will abolish fraternities
and sororities and that men and women
will have to share the same bathroom.
Fraternities and sororities were speci­fically
exempted under Title IX, meaning
they will not be changed or forced to inte­grate.
As for sharing a bathroom with a
member of the opposite sex, those per­sons
suggesting such an idea must de­light
in the scare it gives others. Such a
measure was never the intent of Title IX.
In reply to a letter received by The
Plainsman following a large section on
the HEW guidelines in the fall, I do not
believe I am alone in saying that the
HEW guidelines are not a plot to destroy
the white race either.
If there is widespread opposition to Ti­tle
IX, it should be aimed more toward
areas such as the forced integration of
male and female organizations designed
specifically for members of one sex.
Title IX should have the greatest im­pact
on the school system since the be­ginning
of desegregation. And despite
the absurdities told about it, the mis­understanding
of it and the probable fail­ure
of those making the decisions re­garding
Title IX to even read the guide­lines
thoroughly, it still has its merits.
In blocking Philpott's recommend­ations,
the Board was rejecting a
considerable amount of work and study
by Philpott's legal advisors and others.
Much like Wallace once stood blocking
the door at Tuscaloosa, Wallace's Board
of Trustees is blocking the door at Au­burn.
Unless the Board acts within the
next six months and its' action is ap­proved
by HEW, Auburn University is
liable to lose federal funding. Trustee
Walston Hester and possible others, how­ever,
would prefer going through the
courts rather than changing University
policy.
At the trustee-student meeting Satur­day
it appeared that many of the view­points
of the trustees stemmed from a
lack of information and research on their
part. But their lack of knowledge is not is­olated.
Most students at the trustee meet­ing
aside from members of the SGA,
came to listen only.
In a journalism class with students
who are supposed to express the most in­terest
in current issues, only three per­sons
even had a vague idea of what Title
IX pertained to.
We are a university of students, fac­ulty
and yes, even trustees, unfamiliar
with the problems which face us, telling
jokes and evading questions or question­ing.
If we do not improve, our plight will
be a sorry one.

Don't giveBama fans our seats
Editor, The Plainsman:
Since when do we turn Auburn stu­dents
away from a home basketball
game to let an Alabama fan sit in the Au­burn
student section? Isn't it bad enough
that a certain number of our students
cannot go to the game because of the
limited-seating policy? Do some A.U. stu­dents
have to make the problem worse by
furnishing their friends from the other
schools the precious student tickets,
making even more A.U. students sit at
home and listen to the game on the ra­dio?
I say if they want to see the game
they can sit in the guest section like they
are supposed to.
It really did upset me that there were so
many Alabama students in our student
section. I could have croaked !!! I know
not having them there probably wouldn't
have changed the score, but it would
have let some of my friends that had to
sit at home come and watch.
Sure the NCAA tells us to be court­eous
to the visiting fans, treating them as
our guests; but where does it say giving
them our tickets constitutes courtesy? I
pay a student activity fee so that I can
have my ticket and I'll be damned if I
want to give it up to someone from
another school.
When Alabama students or students
from any other school start paying stu­dent
activity fees, then we can let them
have our tickets . Until then, I say, let
them pay and sit in the guest section
where the guests are supposed to sit; or
better yet, next to the radio like lots of Au­burn
students!
Name Withheld By Request
Fans want more student tickets
Editor, The Plainsman:
We would like to register a complaint
about the new student basketball ticket
system. Why does the student body only
get 6000 tickets when we were the very
ones that cheered the team to their good
home record? There are a few of us that
stuck with Auburn during their bad
years and now it is nearly impossible to
get tickets for all the "instant fans" that
always seem to appear with a winning
team.
Classes and labs make it hard to get
tickets under the new system. A new
.system needs to be developed or better
yet, go back to the old system. Why
was the new system developed? The 6000
tickets is less than half of the Coliseum's
capacity. More tickets need to be dele­gated
to the students.
We have talked with many students
who feel the same as we do and we don't
think Coach Davis wants the student to
turn turn sour toward the team just be­cause
they can't attend the games. Some­thing
needs to be done!

Ticket leaks should be closed
Editor, The Plainsman:
In a column about basketball tickets
written by Bill Lumpkin of the Birming­ham
Post-Herald, Sports Information Di­rector
Buddy Davidson states that, "If
you don't have a ticket, don't come down,
as we are already sold out."
What Mr. Davidson should have said
was if you don't have a ticket, go to the
[Vulcan Ticket Office at 3rd Av. and 20th
St. North in Birmingham, Ala., and you
can get all you want at $4.00 apiece.
Fantastic? It's true—that's what I did
last week. I walked into the ticket office
and asked if I could get two-tickets to the
Alabama-Auburn game. The agent told
me that I could get two or two hundred
and two, how many did I want? I settled
for six at $4.00 apiece (as you know, $1 ov­er
regular price). These ticket numbers
start at Portal 11, Section 23, Seat no. 3.
Well, enough of my rambling. Tell
Coach Hayley, Mr. Davidson, Mr. Beck-with,
and other members of the Athletic
Department to close the ticket leaks and
we won't have to go to private organi­zations
to get tickets at inflated prices.

Wants fans
to behave
Editor, The Plainsman:
As an Auburn student and an avid
basketball fan, I resented the reactions of
'several spectators to certain calls made
by the referees during the Alabama game
last Saturday. Naturally, there were
some bad calls, but that does not justify
throwing objects onto the court. I'm all
for verbal disapproval, but I can't see
what throwing ice and paper on the floor
will accomplish.
Perhaps the guilty party wanted a
player or referee to slip on the ice.
Maybe they enjoyed making Jimmy
Ray Loyless or Eddie Johnson clean up
the court.
This type of reaction serves no pur­pose
other than obstructing the progress
of the game. Therefore, we should let our
indignation be heard, not seen on the
floor of Memorial Coliseum.

Haley Center
Phantom has
struck again
Editor, The Plainsman
Last fall quarter, a funny thing hap­pened
to me. While studying for finals in
one of the classrooms in Haley Center, I-decided
to go downstairs for some can­dy.
I was perfectly unaware of what was
taking place upstairs while I was gone.
You can imagine my dismay upon find­ing,
as I returned to my room, that the
lights had been turned out, and the door
locked.
There I was, my face pressed to the
window, candy in hand and finals im­pending.
After thirty minutes of franti­cally
zigzagging through the corridors,
appealing to each nearby maintenance
engineer but failing to impress any, I re­turned
too tired to kick the door in.
I was mad. Now thoroughly desperate,
I appealed more urgently. No use, it
seemed no-man's quadrant. But
eureka!—there were my books, pens, and
lecture notes balanced carefully atop the
ashtray beside the door. I left Haley Cen­ter
mystified with these questions on my
mind: who is this elusive door-locking
phantom? Who sent him, and why? Do
not go into Haley Center after dark. The
halls are well lighted, but the rooms are
not.

Letters
Defends the language
Editor, The Plainsman:
I don't know why I'm answering the
"no more Spanish" letter in last week's
Plainsman: "Name Withheld" sounds
more like a bad student than anyone
with a legitimate complaint. But, unfor­tunately,
"Withheld" is not the only Au­burn
student who feels this way, and as a
Journalism-Spanish major, I feel com­pelled
to reply.
(1) Anyone who waits until the "last
few weeks" of the quarter to start study­ing
any subject is either a genius or a
fool. I tend toward the latter view. Per­haps
if the writer had started studying at
the beginning of the quarter he would not
have had so much trouble.
(2) In five quarters at Auburn, I have
never had classes better organized or pre­sented
with more concern for the stu­dents'
abilities than in Spanish. Per­haps
the writer merely learned hap­hazardly.
(3) If "Withheld" tried to order a taco in
a Spanish restaurant he would be laugh­ed
out of the country. Tacos are strictly
Latin American. Perhaps if the writer
had paid attention in class he would
have learned the difference.(4) Anyone
who has been to three different colleges,
taken Spanish classes in all of them, and
is stilll having difficulty in basic-level
courses, deserves whatever he gets.
(5) Foreign language teaches more
about English than any advanced En­glish
class ever could. You not only
have to learn the rules of grammar, but
also how to apply them and how to make
their correct use natural. As one
whose career will depend on my com­mand
of the English language, I can say
that all the journalism and composition
classes I've taken haven't helped as
much as studying Spanish.'
In conclusion, "Withheld" sounds to
me like a frustrated student who is fail­ing
at foreign language through his or
her own efforts, or lack of same. College
is a place for learning, it a person is un­willing
to apply himself to learning, he
has no business taking up valuable
space. And he should not be so blind as to
blame other people for his own failures.

Students blamed for burglaries
Editor, The Plainsman:
Mr. Steele's article in last week's
Plainsman concerning the Christmas
burglaries was excellent. The problem
presented is a large one. I would like to
express my feelings on the matter. The
people who returned from Christmas
break to find their possessions stolen
have no reason to complain...since they
contributed to the crime.
Last winter quarter (1975), I sent let­ters
to every fraternity and sorority pres­ident,
every dorm mother, and had art­icles
published in the paper concerning a
way to at least partially solve the pro­blem.
The War Eagle Crime Watch, a
joint project involving the Auburn
Police, Campus Police, and the LAE
Criminal Justice Fraternity, was offered
free of charge to the Auburn community.
The project was two-fold: (1) items of
value would be marked with a special
identification number that would be re­corded
and filed for later identification of
stolen property, and (2) the updating of
security measures, i.e. how to burglar-proof
your residence.
The letters went unanswered. Every­one
wanted to complain but few wanted
to act. Student apathy was almost un­believable,
and this very apathy and lax
attitude is what encourages people to
commit crime. (In one instance, the bur­glars
walked in and out the front door of
a frat house in broad daylight with some
residents still inside. Pretty daring until
you realize how easy it is.)
One person interviewed even went so
far as to shift the responsibility to the Au­burn
Police. Had the person himself tak­en
certain precautions, his property
might never have been stolen. Instead, he
suggests the Auburn Police are not do­ing
their job. Pity! If he knew the Auburn
Police as I did, he would realize that they
are a dedicated group of individuals who
strive to do their best, often under ad­verse
circumstances.
I would like to reiterate here to this per-.
son, the students at Auburn, and re­sidents
everywhere, the ultimate res­ponsibility
for the protection of your pro­perty
lies with you.
I conclude with this question—"Will
you act now to prevent this from hap­pening
again ?"

Cissy likes doing her part
'I WANTA PLAY LIKE THAT'
... Cissy decided she wanted to play trombone when she was eight years old.
Photo by Dyke Helms
By Sue Steele
Plainsman Staff Writer
There are some unusual
sights on the Auburn cam­pus.
Cissy, Grooms is one
in particular. With trombone
in hand she travels barefoot
to the baseball field daily for
band practice.
Cissy is the only female in
the 32 member trombone sec­tion
of the Auburn Univer­sity
Marching Band. The last
girl to play trombone for Au­burn
left ten years ago.
Cissy never thought fe­male
trombone players were
unusual until she was in the
tenth grade and a visiting
high school band came to her
hometown, Owen's Cross­roads,
Ala., without a single
female trombonist.
Throughout elementary
and high school, Cissy had al­ways
held the prestigious first
chair position in an all fe­male
trombone section.
Why did Cissy start play­ing
trombone? She doesn't
know exactly but it's always
been her dream. Her sister,
Pam Grooms, remembers
when 8-year-old Cissy, after
an impressive trombone solo,
exclaimed, "I wanta play like
that."
Bishop works spinning discs
By Mary McCord
Plainsman Staff Writer
Some students wake up to a-larm
clocks ringing in their
ears. Others awaken to the
poking and grumbling of a
roommate. And some wakeMp
to music and Skip Bishop, the
early morning disc jockey of
radio station WEGL.
"This is Skip Bishop, your
song and dance man, remind­ing
you it's Thursday, Jan. 15','
said the six-foot, slender
blond into the microphone
during his six to eight a.m.
show.
Bishop, a native of Vir­ginia
who calls Gulf Shores
home, said he usually spends
three hours a day at the
station preparing his shows.
His salary is min­imal—
sometimes averaging
only $1 an hour.
He also has a Monday
through Friday nightly news
program called "Night Stor­ies."
This is an off-beat news
show featuring unusual news
of today.
He swivels in his chair from
the panel covered with knobs
and buttons to change the re­cords
on the two turntables at
the side.
"After a while you aren't
concerned with the mech­anics
and become more con­cerned
with the artistic qual­ity
of blending the music,"
said Bishop. He said he at­tempts
to make selections
that seem to go together be­cause
he wants each song to
flow into the next.
Bishop said he tries to keep
his individual personality
separate from his radio
personality (hiring a pro­gram.
"If I didii't do this, then
it would be just two hours of
me rather than good music
and entertainment," which is
what he wants to provide.
A light flashes, indicating a
phone call, and Bishop ans­wers
the phone.
'"Oh, Lonesome Me'. Sit
tight. It's coming up soon,"
said the blue-jeaned, 22-year-old
Bishop into the receiver.
Bishop explained that the
station receives a large num­ber
of calls. Many are from
people requesting particular
songs.
He said disc jockies really
want people to call in because
they want to know what the
listeners would like to hear.
He said they sometimes re­ceive
calls which are highly
critical and these are wel­come
as well.
"I'm still new at this," he
said, although he has worked
at the station for more than a
year. He said he likes to keep
in mind his audience and the
time of day when selecting
music.
Bishop,4GSC, commented
that he wants to work in some
phase of broadcasting and is
also interested in education.
"I don't want to work really
hard at a job I don't like," he

said. "But if I like it and I'm
interested in it, then I don't
mind working hard."
Bishop's face is framed by
shoulder-length, curly—just
short of being frizzy—hair.
"I wear my hair long be­cause
I think it looks best on
me this way," he said. "I cut it
sometimes but I always let it
grow back out."
Bishop said his full name is
Curtis Vance Bishop III. He
described Skip as being a
shortened variation of the
nickname "Skipper" hung on
him during childhood.
"It's eight minutes until
news and I don't see a news­man,"
Bishop said, the tone of
his voice changing slightly.
Several minutes passed. "I
may have to be the newsman
this morning," he added, rais­ing
his eyebrows up to the rim
of his glasses.
He left the room, practical­ly
at a run, and returned a mi­nute
later with copy torn from
the teletype. He read it hur­riedly
and then went on the
air.
He faltered over a couple of
words, but it was hardly not­iceable
as he strengthened his
voice and continued.
"I have Monday mouth," he
later said. "It's a disease in
this business."
The newsman came in dur­ing
the newscast. When
Bishop finished, he went into
the next room and, in a boxer
stance, good-naturedly faked
punches at the tardy news­man.
A coed came in to prepare
for a short recipe show, bring­ing
with her a book of riddles.
"Ah..." Bishop sighed.
"Colonel Knowledge knows
all. Ask me anything," he
said to the woman, widening
his gray-blue eyes.
"What's the best way to
catch a fish?" she asked.
"Have someone throw it to
you," he answered correctly.
Skip was consistently correct
in answering the standard,
corny riddles and the two de­cide
to read some on the air.
"When I introduce you, be
sure and call me 'the in­famous
Colonel Knowledge"'
he instructed her several
times.
"Wait a minute," he said,
peering over her shoulder at
the book. "I want to be sure
and get this one right."
"If I blow this," Bishop
said, "don't put it in your art­icle.
I don't want to be cited
as a loser," he chuckled.
A loser? Colonel Know­ledge?
Never!

The next year Cissy joined
the beginner's elementary
band. Measured side by side,
her trombone used to hit her
just above eyebrow level.
"I was one of the shortest
girls in my class when I first
began playing and my trom­bone
swallowed me."
Coming to Auburn was a
big step for Cissy. One of her
goals in life since fifth grade
was to play trombone in the
Auburn Marching Band. "I
had always come to football
games with my dad each fall
hoping to catch a glimpse of
the halftime show rather than
the game."
Cissy began at Auburn dur­ing
summer quarter to get a
head start before band .au­ditions.
She realized her
chances were slim for the nine
trombone spaces sought by 17
tryouts.
"I didn't sleep for two weeks
before tryouts," she said said.
"I was so scared to auditon
that I was afraid I'd forget my
name."
But Cissy got the job and
Dr. Billy Walls, band director
and a trombonist himself,
says that talent was the sole
reason for her selection.
Her first days as a "fresh­men
band rat" were unforget-able.
Freshmen were tra­ditionally
initiated into the
band by the harrassment of
upper classmen. One time
while the band was being
filmed by a Birmingham tele­vision
station, "Doc" Walls
and the trombonists played a
joke on Cissy.
She said, "One guy hap­pened
to be talking to me
while he was resting on one
knee. Before I knew it, 'Doc'
had made all 31 players kneel
and face me saying in un­ison,
'Cissy, you are the most
beautiful girl we've ever seen.'
I was so embarrassed, es­pecially
when I discovered
that the cameraman was film­ing
the whole thing."
"Doc," , as his band fam­ily
named him, calls Cissy the
moral builder of the horn sec­tion.
During her first year, she
was singled out right away as
the little sister of the brass in­struments
requiring her skills
from cake decorating to dutch
treat dating. She began dat­ing
the section leader; now
she says "we're all just bud­dies."
Cissy considered all the sac­rifices
before she tried out
for the band.
"I realized that I'd be date­less,
melting in a wool uni­form
with my hair hidden un­der
my hat, while other girls
would be sitting with all the
great looking guys in the
stands," she said.
But, she said, the prestige
and thrill of playing before
more audiences than any
other Southeastern Con­ference
member band out­weighed
the disadvantages.
Cissy Grooms could easily
be mistaken for a majorette
instead of a ' horn player.
Without the disquise of her
uniform, she is a shapely 5'4"
with light brown hair and
eyes to match. Within her
masculine enviroment , she
retains her feminine identity.
She loves to surrprise "the
guys" by coming to band
practice prepared to march in
a dress.
Cissy's favorite expres­sion,
"golly gee," will often
slip out in her country drawl.
She loves to listen to good
music, eat any and all foods,
and play softball. Her favor­ite
evening consists of watch­ing
any kind of sports event.
Although she gives up dates
to football games, she makes
up for it by dating some of the
players themselves after­wards.
Cissy said she plans to com­plete
a degree in Occupation­al
Therapy and work with
handicapped people. She said
her relationship with God
through Jesus Christ is the
most important aspect of her
life., When she's close to him,
she said, everything turns
out alright; but when she's
not, She'll remind herself,
"guess who moved."
Now that the thrill of her
initiation into the horn sec­tion
has passed, she is a bona
fide member of the "Band
Family."
"Doc" can't scold the trom­bone
section for playing like
"sissies" anymore now that a
new Cissy has been added to
the group. Although the horn
section may ha^-a felt
threatened by her presence
at first, they now seem to
agree with trombonist Dan
Pitts. "You know, when Cis­sy
came, I really didn't like
the idea of having a girl in the
trombone section," he said,
"But now I'm glad she's
here."

Little Theatre to become chapel
AUBURN LITTLE THEATRE CHANGES APPEARANCE AND CHARACTER
...Renovations will be from theatrical to religious
Photo by Dan Doughtie
By Margaret Brown
Plainsman Staff Writer
The small structure on the
corner of Thach Avenue and
College Street commonly
known to students as the Au­burn
Little Theatre is now
undergoing renovations
which will change its charac­ter
from theatrical to religi­ous,
with the remodeling ex­pected
to be completed during
spring quarter.
When completed, the build­ing
will be used as a non-de­nominational
chapel avail­able
to students for religious
services, including wed­dings.
Storage areas will be
a v ailable so that articles used
in different religious services
may be stored on the pre­mises.
The work on the building is
not meant to modernize it but
to keep it in its original state.
Using slave labor of planta­tion
owner Edwin Reese, the
original building was com­pleted
in 1851. The structure
is the oldest public building in
Auburn, and once housed the
Auburn Presbyterian
Church.
Although equipped with
such modern conveniences as
air conditioning, heating and
carpeting, the chapel will
retain its rustic character.
The exterior will feature a
completely walled garden
with brick paved walks.
Benches, planters and a
bricked patio for outside acti­vities
will decorate the gar­den.
Seclusion from more mo­dern
structures will be helped
by the walls and by shutters
on the chapel windows.
Lighting and landscaping
for the chapel will be in keep­ing
with the old-fashioned set­ting.
John Robinson of the
Horticulture Department will
supervise the landscaping
plans.
A full steeple, a replica of
the original, will accent the
building. A post card pictur­ing
the original steeple was
found among the heirlooms of
the Reese family and served
as the model. A concrete base
will stabilize the steeple
against high winds.
The interior will feature an
open roof exposing the old
wooden framework. The off-center
aisle will lead to a
draped altar which can be
closed when not in use. A lec­tern
for sermons, a balcony
for a choir or extra seating,
and an organ recess for a pipe
organ are also included in the
plans.
Professor Nick Davis of the
School of Architecture and
Fine Arts did the preliminary
planning. The overall- reno­vation
is being handled by a
firm from Montgomery.
If completed by the end of
spring quarter, a dedication
service will be held at that
time. No definite date for com­pletion
has been set.
Petition opposes co-ed dorms
By Jackie Romine
Plainsman Staff Writer
A petition opposing coed
dormitories, as a result of
Title IX, was presented to the
Auburn University Board of
Trustees Saturday by Pam
Neidert, 1VA, president of
Dorm 6.
The idea for the petition
evolvedafter a dorm meeting,
according to Neidert. Wynell
McLain, house mother for
Dorm 6, urged the women to
go to the Board meeting to
express their opinions.
The future possibilities
mentioned by McLain,
including nonsecurity dorms
and men living in separate
dorms on the Hill or the Quad,
motivated concern among the
women.
McLain said she specifi­cally
did not mention coed
dormitories at the dorm
meeting.
According to Neidert, "Lot
of the Board members, I
think.have the opinion that
the girls want coed dorms."

AND SOMEONE TO
TALK TO:
The Board thinks, Neidert
added, "The guys want coed
dorms; they want non-security;
they want' complete
freedom."
"It's just because the others
are the ones speaking up, so
we decided we were going to
say our piece, too,"Neidert
said.
Most of the women who
signed the petition were
freshmen, according to
Neidert.
"That's another reason
why the girls are really
interested in what's hap­pening,
because they are
freshmen. They're going to be
here four more years,"
Neidert said.
"It's not so much what
they're proposing to do this
coming year, it is what is
going to happen in two years
and in three years,"Nei(Jert
said.
"We've chosen this school,
Auburn, because it's set up
this way and we don't want it
changed," Neidert concluded.

Little change
seen over
100 years
By Betsy Butgereit
Plainsman Staff Writer
One might imagine that 100
years ago the public would
have different concerns than
it does now. However, 100
years ago, in 1876 the topics
most on people's minds were
women's rights, China, the
upcoming national Centen­nial
and the economy.
In New York, a woman
donned a pair of pants to look
for her husband. She found
her husband all right, but the
police found her pants to be
all wrong. She was fined $10
for wearing pants in public.
Britain was carrying on de'
icate negotiations with Ch>
na concerning foreign policj
On Oct. 18, 1875, China if
sued a public edict declaring
that foreigners had the right
to travel in its interior. This
was a major change in their
policy.
Meanwhile, the United
States still forbade Chinese
women to immigrate.
Here in the United States
people were preparing for the
Centennial. The huge Cen­tennial
exhibition, held at
Philadelphia, required much
preparation.
Mammoth sections of Cal­ifornia
redwoods were ship­ped
across the nation. Art
pieces from across the coun­try
were collected by a special
committee in Philadelphia.
Many public figures visited
the projected exhibition site
and commented favorably on
the work that was being done.
The biggest news a century
ago was the Ohio gubernato­rial
race between Republican'
Rutherford B. Hayes and De­mocratic
incumbant William
Allen. Stories concerning the
race appeared in every news­paper
in the country.
The campaign was a fierce
one, centered around the econ­omy.
Hayes advocated
streamlined finances while
Allen was accused of being an
inflationist.
Much to the shock of the
Democratic party, the "rad­ical"
Hayes won the elec­tion.
The New York Times
termed it "the triumph of hon­esty
over a base attempt to
break the public faith and sul­ly-
the-national honor."

even though they don't desire
it. "I think we are fooling our­selves
if we think we can in­definitely
sustain a dual-type
system."
Philpott's reply was that
"there are still plenty of
people who want the secure
dormitories and regulations
that we have had."
"My own prediction is that
subsequently, at least for a
couple of years, I don't antici­pate
much change from our
present situation. I still think
that most of the mommas and
papas are going to prefer to
have secure housing for their
daughters," Philpott said.
Board chairman Bamberg
ended the discussion by say­ing,
"I don't think we ought to
experiment with the boys and
girls who come to this in­stitution."
Trustee Steagall suggested
that further efforts be made to '
modify Philpott's proposals.
"We will not stop," Philpott
said. "We will have to con­tinue
this. . .the issue has
not been laid to rest. It will in­evitably
come back to be dealt
with. This represents the best
thing we were able to work
out, but we'll get back to work
and try to find something
else."
Bamberg later appointed a
committee of Trustees Stea­gall,
Harris, and Teague to
work with the University on a
new set of proposals. Thecom-mittee
met after Plainsman
deadline Wednesday with
SGA President Bert Young
and Dr. Harold Grant, secre­tary
of the University's Title
IX guidelines coordinating
committee.
The proposal on athletics
passed unanimously after
Steagall asked that a trustee
be placed on the committee
which will nominate can­didates
for the new assistant
athletic director post.
The athletic proposals al­low
the new assistant ath­letic
director to assemble can­didates
for positons in coach­ing,
publicity, training, equip­ment
management, and cler­ical
assistance for the wo­men's
athletic program. The
staff is scheduled to be em­ployed
by the opening of fall
quarter, 1976.
A woman student will be
appointed to the University
Athletic committee, and of­fice
space and training facil­ities
will be provided for wo­men
in the Coliseum.
The proposals did not call
for action about grants-in-aid
for women student athletes,
because the NCAA conven­tion
now in progress is con­sidering
grants-in-aid pro­posals
for men's athletics,
and their decisions could af­fect
the awarding of scholar­ships
to female athletes.
The deadline for com­pliance
in athletics is July 21,
1976.

film is a collection of some of the most humorous mis­takes

The program and the concept have met with favorable

topics for videotape presentation are movies, lectures

Prospective teachers face jobless future
The U.S. Department of
Labor expects prospective
teachers in elementary and
secondary education to face
tough competition through
the mid 1980s, while employ­ment
opportunities for engi­neering
graduates continue to
bo favorable.
. The supply of teachers will
greatly exceed the number of
available positions if pat­terns
of entry and re-entry
into the teaching profession
continue in line with past
trends, according to the re­port.
Enrollment in schools is the
basic factor that determines
the need for teachers. Accord­ing
to the U.S. Office of
Education, the current down­ward
enrollment trend will
probably level off in 1977,
then rise again by 1985. The
increase in enrollment will
then create additional teach­ing
positions.
Until 1985, most teaching
positions will only be avail­able
to replace deceased and
retired teachers or those who
have left the profession for
other reasons.
While demand for teachers
is leveling off, the number of
qualified graduates will grow
rapidly, and some teachers
may want to re-enter the pro­fession.
So, a large propor­tion
of prospective teachers
will have to consider other
professions.
Even though the teacher
job market is highly competi­tive,
a recent survey found
continuing teacher shortages
in mathematics, industrial
arts, special education, and
some vocational-technical
subjects.
Associate Agriculture
Dean Charles F. Simmons is
resigning his duties as chair­man
of the athletic commit­tee,
according to Auburn Pres­ident
Harry M. Philpott.
Philpott announced that
Dr. Wilfdrd S. Bailey of theDe-
Delta Nu Alpha
hosts speakers
on transportation
Delta Nu Alpha, the or­ganization
which promotes
an awareness in the trans­portation
industry, will host
two speakers on transpor­tation.
William Coleman, re­presentative
of the Interstate
Commerce Commission of the
Birmingham Office, will
speak on "Deregulation in
Transportation." And
Frank Atkins, Department
of Transportation-Birming­ham
Office, will speak on
"Field Functions of Depart­ment
of Transportation."
The speeches will be pre­sented
on Jan. 20,7p.m. at 203
Auburn Union.
The presentation is open to
the general public.
partment of Pathology and
Parasitology will succeed Dr.
Simmons as athletic commit­tee
chairman. Bailey accom­panied
Philpott, athletic dir­ector
Lee Hayley, head foot­ball
coach Doug Barfield and
the assistant coaches to the
NCAA winter meeting in St.
Louis this week.
Simmons served as the fifth
faculty athletic committee
chairman in the history of Au-.
burn sports. The first was
Dean Cliff Hare, who served
in 1919-23 and 1930-40.
"Dean Simmons has
served as chairman of the
athletic committee for the
past eight years, and has
made significant contribu­tions
to the committee's work
since his appointment to the
committee in 1950," said
Philp\>tt. "Working closely
with AU's presidents and ath­letic
directors, Dean Sim­mons
has been a key person in
advancing the University's
athletic fortunes.
"We are going to miss Dean
Simmons' guidance and wis­dom
on the athletic commit­tee,"
continued Philpott. "At
the same time, I know from
previous association with Dr.
Bailey that he will serve Au­burn
well as athletic commit­tee
chairman."
"1776" will be presented
Jan. 27 by the Columbia.

Student grant deadline
Today is the last day un­dergraduate,
students can ap­ply
for grants under the Ala­bama
Student Assistance
Program, according to Fi­nancial
Aid Director Charles
B. Roberts, chairman of the
statewide program.
A bill enacted during the re­cent
special session of the
legislature established the
program which, with federal
matching funds, will provide
$600,000 in grants to stu­dents
who are Alabama resi­dents
and attending Ala­bama
colleges and univer­sities,
according to Roberts.
Grants for the last half of
the academic year will be
$150, Roberts stated, with
full-time students receiving
first prioity and half-time stu­dents
to be considered on a
funds-available basis.
"Students attending Au­burn
University should send
their applications to me so our
office can attach a copy of
needs analysis to forward to
the commission in Mont­gomery,"
Roberts said.
"Others may apply through
their respective financial aid
offices."
Applicants must be
registered in an under­graduate
degree or certificate
program, Roberts pointed out.

Hopes, fans, cheers and bands
WACTION
if Mitchell wants to go, he'll go. I hope they don't. 1 hope they
stay long enough to build Auburn to national contention. The
Tigers are not far away. All Davis needs is a strong, tall pivot
man and another guard in Johnson's class.
- Cops ore stupid
By Mike Jackson
Sports Editor
Auburn seniors' hope, the basketball team. "I live and die
with that basketball team," I heard a girl say in class the other
day. "I hope they don't fail me." "Why do you like basketball so
much," a girl sitting next to her said. "After what the football
team did...'Oh, I understand ."
A lot of hopes rest on the Auburn basketball team. Many
people envision a conference championship, a bid to either the
NCAA or NIT tournament, an Ail-American guard and a
Coach of the Year.
Lofty expectations for any team, especially a young team, to
uphold. But Auburn has survived. They haven't received any
national recognition. They are in neither the AP or UPI top 20,
but they have battled Duke, North Carolina State and Ala­bama.
The only bad performance of the season has come
against Duke; Auburn has played well in every other game.
Toss out the North Carolina St. game and the Alabama game,
both called "chokes" by a lot of people. State was helped im­measurably
by the referees. I didn't go; I have no first hand
knowledge, but reports from very objective writers and an­nouncers
indicate that the Tigers did in indeed receive the pro­verbial
shaft.
The Alabama game was probably lost in the first 10 minutes
of the second half. Still The Alabama game was probably
lost in the first 10 minutes of the second half but Auburn lost its
11 point lead against Alabama when it shifted into a sagging
zone defense around Leon Douglas. The zone enabled Rickey
Jones and Reginald King to take eight to 10 foot chip shots.
And Auburn caught up when Davis switched defenses again;
but making up 10 points in 10 minutes against a good team is
too much to ask.
Regardless of the Alabama game, Auburn is a good basket­ball
team. They can stay on the court with any team in the nat­ion,
barring none.
True, they almost blew their last game against Mississippi
State but State is no slouch team. They are very rough and ag­gressive
on the boards and they have a fine freshman, Gary
Hooker. Hooker may be another Mike Mitchell or Bernard King
with some development. State already beat Kentucky in Stark-ville
and they will beat others. I can't blame Bob Davis for say­ing
he doesn't look forward to going to State. Auburn may very
well get beat by State.
But Auburn is improved. They will not get blown off the court
like they did last year at Lexington, Ky., losing to the Wildcats
by 44 points. Eddie Johnson is more of a team player than ever
before and he recognizes when he should pass and when he
should shoot. Still, Johnson is learning. The whole team is
learning. Davis's offense is very complicated. Prior to the sea­son,
he commented that Mitchell, Bracy and Pietkiewicz had
just learned the basic offensive patterns and were just ready to
begin learning the rest of his offense and defense.
Defensively is where the Tigers need the most improvement.
Most of them play good individual defense; Wayne Bracy plays
great defense. But they still need to learn to play team defense.
No one questions Auburn's offense prowess; just as no one re­cognizes
the Tigers as being a great defensive team. Mike Mit­chell
admitted his need to concentrate on his defense. "My of­fensive
game is set; I really --need to get to work playing de­fense,
"he said.
Turning away from the basketball team and to the crowd, Au­burn's
basketball fans are great. They get excited; they are
vocal; they give at least 10 points of encouragement to the team.
But they are also stupid. Cups on the floor may be cute to
some people but they are dangerous for both teams. The ob­jects
are directed at the referees but if a player hit one of the cups
or a piece of ice going full or even half speed, he would slip and
his natural reflex action would be to instantly correct his fall­ing
rather than just relaxing. That could cause torn ligaments,
sprained ankles and knees and hip pointers. The danger ia not
slight. The basketball court is not that small and the- players
cover every inch of it during a game. Referees get the message
from fans questioning their heritage. Don't endanger the play­ers
by trying to hit the refs.
The cheerleaders are much better than they were last year.
I'm glad to see that they are moving away fr om the slow foot­ball
cheers and going to more jazzy, quick cheers more suited to
basketball.
-We wanna pep band
The band should take a lesson. The music the band plays is
great...for football but is is not suited to basketball. I'm not ob-jectionate
of having a band. It just needs to be smaller in the 10-
20 category and liv elier.like the pep bands you had in high
school, remember? Go to the Atlantic Coast Conference or to
the West Coast or to the Northeast where people live on basket­ball
and all you'll find are pep bands.
I remember last season when Tennessee came to Auburn and
a handful of Tennessee fans and a pep band came. The pep
band was great, playing Rocky Top and When the Saints Go
Marching In and other jazzy tunes. A pep band could play on
the floor, providing 100 more tickets for students or visitors.
We need a band, but we don't need 150 members rattling ova
eardrums. Fifteen people would put out enough volume and
surely someone in the group or in the music department could
come up with arrangements for some snazzy songs, rather than
the slow moving footbal songs the humongous band now plays.
Remember, football ended fall quarter. This is BASKET­BALL.
It's faster and more exciting and it should be treated
differently.
Dorsey, King,Grunf eld await Tigers
By Mike Jackson
Sports Editor
Auburn hits the road after a brief home
stay and runs straight into a handful of
the SEC's best basketball players. First
the Tigers travel to Athens, GA., to face
Georgia's Bulldogs and last year's AU-SEC
sensation Jacky Dorsey ; then the
Tigers travel to Knox ville, Tenn.,
where they '11 face the Vols' Ernie Grun-feld
and Bernard King.
All three of the above mentioned play­ers
made last season's All-SEC selec­tions.
Dorsey, now a 6-7 sophomore, aver­aged
25.8 points per game, second in the
league and was one of the nation's top
point producers. Dorsey was topped by
only King who popped 26.4 per game. Au­burn
fans couldn't see King last year as
Auburn beat the Vols in Auburn. King
was detected of having a substandard
grade transcript in junior high school be­fore
the Auburn game and Athletic Di­rector
Bob Woodruff ordered King bench­ed
until the trouble was cleared up.
Dorsey isn't the only player the Bull­dogs
have. Coach John Guthrie found
himself without a big pibot last year and
went out after 6-10 Lucius Foster, Foster
has responded well pouring in about 14
points per game from his center position.
He is also the best free throw shooter of
the starting five.
Guthrie also gets a lot of time out of his
guards, Walter Daniels, also a fresh­man,
and Tony Flanagan. Both Flan­agan
and Daniels have over 35 assists.
Daniels averages 15 points a game, com­pared
to Flanagan's 10.
Georgia, 0-3 in the conference and 5-7
overall, has another Dorsey, Charlie, to
complement Jacky Dorsey at forward.
The former's specialty is crashing the
boards for rebounds. Charlie has aver­aged
around eight rebounds a game in
limited action. Both he and Tony Flan­agan
have been sidelined temporarily for
academic problems.
But Jack Dorsey is what makes the
Bulldogs go. A tremendous one-on-one
player, Dorsey is the key to the Bulldogs
offense. The guards deliberately try to
get the ball to Dorsey, who is currently
averaging a steady 20 points per game
with close to nine rebounds a game.
On the other hand, no one player is the
key to Tennessee's 10-2 team(2-l in the
SEC). If a team tries to shut off King,
Grunfeld cranks up and takes up the
slack; and on the other shoe, if teams go
after Grunfeld, Coach Ray Mears in­structs
his guards to go to King. And
Mears has the guards to work with.
Senior Doug Ashworth averaged on­ly
nine points per game last year but
headed the league in assists, and is near
the top again this season. The other
guard, Mike Jackson, a 6-3 junior, pro­duces
more points, around 13 per game,
but is just as capable of feeding Tenn­essee's
big forwards, called by some pub­lications
as the two best in the country.
That's pretty elite company when one
thinks of UCLA, who has twobonafide
Ail-American forwards in Richard
Washington and Marques Johnson.
Still, King and Grunfeld prove that
they deserve the billing. Rarely do either
of them have a bad game and both re­bound
as well as anyone in the SEC.
Rounding out Tennessee's top five is
freshman Irv Chatman, a 6-9 freshman,
who plays the pivot as well as any in the
league, according to Mears.
Chatman averaged 19 points per game
in high school and fought his way into
the top five after the first couple of games
of the regular season. No one has moved
him since.
Most Auburn players think they're rea­dy
for the road trip.
"Saturday's game is looking pretty
big," Coach Bob Davis said. "Georgia
has some fine people and of course Dor-.
sey is their key."
Dorsey figures to be matched up with
Auburn's super soph Mike Mitchell, but
Mitchell sees nothing special about the
game. "We'll just take them one at a time.
The season is long." As far as Dorsey is
concerned, "We both just play ball. It's
another game. I look forward to playing
all the time. It ought to be good."
The Tigers also recognize that they
can't look to Knoxville too soon. "We've
got to play Georgia first; we can't think
about Tennessee until after the game,"
Mitchell said.
"We ought to be ready now. We've ex­perienced
a big loss and we've played on
the road. It's just like home now," Mit­chell
added.
"We've got it together, now," guard
Wayne Bracy said. "We better have it to­gether
going to Georgia and Knoxville."
FRESHMAN CEDRICK HORDGES GRABS REBOUND

Freshman help in field events
Auburn to shine in most events at invitational
"kMUb will shine
Mitchell has yet to face any real competition. He'll see some
this weekend with Jacky Dorsey and either Bernard King or
Ernie Grunfeld. It will be interesting to see how Mitch reacts to
the competition. I think he'll hold his own or win. He is one of
the best one-on-one forwards I've seen in a long time. He has,
moves to be in the pros and he will certainly go, as will Cedrick
Hordges.
Hordges is only a freshman but you can recognize the great­ness.
There was big press build-up comparing Alabama's Regi­nald
King (from Birmingham) and Hordges (from Montgo­mery)
during last year's recruiting season. The majority of the
papers indicated that King wsa the better player. After seeing
both in action, I don't see how anyone can compare the two.
Hordges is far superior in every aspect. He's got better moves, a
better touch; he's far stronger and most importantly, he is a
smart basketball player. He thinks before he does anything. I
would be surprised to see Hordges at Auburn more than two
years. I don't know how Davis will keep the pros from waving
big money in front of him. If Hordges wants to go, he'll go. And

The Auburn track team will
host an invitational match
this Saturday in Memorial
Coliseum, and surrounding
high school and Jr. College
teams, along with the Univer­sity
of Georgia, will partici­pate.
This invitational meet
gives Alabama's high school
athletes an opportunity to Bee
Auburn's track team and the
chance to compete against
college atletes on Auburn's in­door
track, according to Mel
Rosen, Auburn's head track
coach-
Rosen expects 30 schools to
send athletes to the meet.
At the beginning of the 1976
indoor track season, Auburn
appears perfectly balanced in
every aspect of track and .
field. But, after the competi­tion
begins at the senior Bowl
and the Auburn Invitational,
a clearer picture will emerge.
Rosen feels that Auburn
will shine in every event ex­cept
in the 880, 10000 and 2
mile relay running events.
Auburn, weak in field com­petition
last year, has added
depth in the field events with
freshman recruits Harvey
Glance, Tony Easley, Ross
Schaffstall and Rob Will.
Easley and Schaffstall both
came to Auburn from Reston
High School, Reston , VA.
Easley runs the 50 yd. dash
and the triple jump, and
Schaffstall competes with
Will in the shot put.
Easley, who was widely
sought, said he chose Auburn
because of the coaches and
the atmosphere here. In com­paring
high school with col­lege
track, "college competi­tion
is what I have been long
awaiting," Easley said.
Glance of nearby Phenix
City is the Alabama high
school champ in the 50 yd.
dash. Glance will compete in
the 50 yd. dash and the long
jump.
James Walker, also a fresh­man,
is the Georgia state high
school champ in the 60 yd.
high hurdles. Walker will
compete in the 50 yds. high
hurdles and the mile relay •
In the distance running .
events Auburn will be re­presented
largely by ex­perienced
runners. Cross­country
veterns Bob Mont­gomery,
David McKannan,
Neil Murphy, Rick Musick,
Mark Jordan. Terry Baker
and Jon Fox will compete in
the long distance events.
McKannan, who placed
fifth in the indoor SEC two-mile
and second in the out­door
SEC six-mile in 1974 re­turns
to competition after an
injury, to his Achilles Ten­don.
"I am not completely over
my injury, and I don't expect
to be able to run at my best.
But it's great to at least be
able to run and compete
again," said McKannan.
Clifford Outlin, who proved
to be a tremendous asset to
Auburn's 1974 and 1975 track
teams, will not be able to run
for Auburn because his eligi­bility
has expired. But, Au­burn
is fortunate to have
Willie Smith returning.
Tiger swimmers dike Green Wave;
Crimson Tide to invade AU pool
By Robert Johnston
Plainsman Sportswriter
The Auburn University
swim team meets Alabama in
a dual meet at the Memorial
Coliseum pool Friday, Jan.
16, at 4 p.m. following a win
over Tulane Wednesday and a
second place finish in the
Tennessee Relays at Knox­ville
last week.
The Tigers convincingly
beat Tulane as several Au­burn
swimmers swam out of
their events (i.e. a long-dis­tance
man swimming back­stroke).
At press time the
swimming events were
through and Auburn held an
overwhelming 66-32 lead
going into the diving compe­tition.
David Harbach led Au­burn
as he won several events
and "left everyone behind,"
according to a bystander.
"It was a really good meet
and we found out everything
we wanted to know," Coach
Eddie Reese said at poolside.
Alabama has all of its
swimmers returning from last
year's team, which finished
fifth in the nation and second
in the Southeastern Con­ference.
The Tide has conquered
Coach Eddie Reese's troops in
dual meets in each of his three
years at Auburn, and both Au­burn's
and Alabama's swim­ming
programs have made
astounding improvements.
Tide Coach Don Gambril will
be coaching the U.S. Olympic
swimming team for the third
time this summer.
"The biggest difference be­tween
us and Alabama is that
they have people that have
gone real fast and we have
people that are trying to go
fast," Reese said.
"They can afford to rest a
little before the meet but we
have to continue to work hard
so we'll be ready for the con­ference
meet," he added.
Three Alabama swimmers
won gold medals in the Pan
American games, and Mike
Currington, only a sopho­more,
won three.
Auburn also plays host to
the Canadian All Stars Sat­urday
at 7 p.m. in the Coli­seum
pool. The Canadian
team is composed of the best
swimmers in the eastern sec­tions
of Canada.
Tennessee won the Tenn­essee
Relays last Saturday,
completing with swimmers
from South Carolina, Cal­ifornia,
Miami of Ohio and
Eastern Kentucky, along
with Auburn.
"We looked good, but they
looked great," Reese said of
Tennessee. "Tennessee is al­ways
tough to beat in the mid­dle
of the year."
Results of the event were
lost on the plane back from
Knoxville, but Reese singled
out freshmen Paul Asmuth
and Clay Parnell and juniors
David Harbach and Rick
Hartmen for fine performan­ces.
The Tigers won most of
the distance relays plus the
400-yard individual medley
relay.
