Assailant stabs student,demands money

Plainsman Staff Writer
No arrests have been made in connec­tion
with the Thursday stabbing and at­tempted
robbery of an Auburn student,
Monte Couch, 1GC, according to the Au­burn
Police Department.
Couch, who was in his Campus Inn
apartment watching television around 1
p.m., said an unidentified black man
plunged at him with a wooden-handled
razor blade, leaving shallow cuts on his
face, arms and chest.
The stabbings occurred after Couch in­sisted
that he had no money to give to the
man who entered his apartment.
"I kept telling him I didn't even have
my wallet on me and then I remembered
a jewelry box on my desk that I kept pen­nies
in," said Couch. "I grabbed this
and handed it to him and when he
saw that it was only pennies he got mad
and threw it on the floor," demanding
real money.
According to Couch, when he failed to
produce any money the man pulled out a
razor and . began to swing it about say­ing
that he knew Couch had "real"
money because he drove "a fancy sports-car."
Couch described the man as being
around 5 feet 11 and weighing 165
pounds. He was about 26 or 27 yearsold,
said Couch, and had a moustache and a
short Afro haircutl'He was pretty big and
he didn't look like a student. He was
wearing blue jeans, a blue shirt, grubby
tennis shoes and dirty work gloves, "
said Couch.
The Auburn Police Department said
they have several leads but so far no ar­rests
have been made.
" The incident took place within a mat­ter
of minutes" said Couch. "He started
coming at me with the blade and 1 kept
backing up trying to dodge it. I had my
shirt tail out, so the loose shirt helped a
lot."
"He nicked me a few times across the
face and chest but mainly cut my arms,"
said the student. Couch said he picked up

a chair and hit the man across the knees.
The assailant then ran for the window,
said Couch, throwing a two by four plac­ed
across the window at the student. The
board hit Couch in the chin, while the
man escaped through the window.
"By this time I couldn't see very well
because my face was covered with
blood," said Couch. "I ran outside and
got some friends to call the police to take
me to the infirmary."
Couch's neighbor was in his apart­ment
watching his television during the
struggle and said he did not hear any of
what was taking place.
Couch said the cuts weren't "bad" and
that the only after effect he had experi­enced
was a headache.
The student, who is a first quarter
j freshman, said the incident did not dis-
I turb him a lot. "I figure it doesn't happen
that much in Auburn, probably only once
in a guy's lifetime. It doesn't make me
think any less of Aubuqn," said Couch
adding that he "wouldn't have given
that guy any money" if he'd had any. "I
can't afford it"

Auburn University is presently
operating under a special educa­tion
budget issued by an executive
order of Governor George C.
Wallace. The budget remains in
effect at least until Nov. 3, when
w allace is expected to call a special
session of the Alabama legislature.
The governor's emergency order
came after the legislature failed to
pass an education budget in the
waning hours of its regular session
last Thursday.
The Emergency Appropriations
Bill, which Wallace introduced
early in May, included $38,320,000
for Auburn University's main
campus and $4,520,000 for AUM.
Appropriations for 1974-75 for the
main campus were $30,508,000 and
$1,391,000 for AUM.
"The governor's action will
enable the University to put a new
salary schedule into operation if
approved by the Budget Commit­tee
of the Board of Trustees at a
meeting later this mo nth, "Presi­dent
Harry M. Philpott said.
However, a freeze will remain on
new positions until the legislature
passes an appropriations bill.
Wallace said mat he hopes the
legislature can pass the bill in five
days after the session convenes.
This is the minimum time a bill can
be passed in the legislature.
Philpott said that the recent
restrictions placed on purchases
and travel were being lifted, but
asked that spending agencies
exercise restraint due to the
uncertainity of what would finally
be authorized by the legislature.
"Contrary to a local newspaper
report, the University did not lobby
against an amendment to the
appropriation bill calling for salary
increases for University personnel
to be effective on October 1.
Initially, our intention was to go for
an effective date of October 1. but
because of inaction by the
Legislature and because the
University gets only 35-40 per cent
of its budget funds from the state,
the effective date was delayed,"
Pkilpott said.
"Since many of our employes
receive their salaries from other
sources than state funds, it is
important that we be certain that
all raises are made at the same
time," Philpott said.
"At this point we cannot say
whether raises will be activated on
October 1 or later," he stated. "But
the Budget Committee will be
given the facts and will make that
decision when it meets."
"In putting a new salary
schedule into effect, some assur­ance
is needed that the legislature
will pass a bill giving Auburn
University at least the amount
provided in the governor's bill. We
do not want to authorize raises,
then have to take them back,"
stated Philpott.
In commenting on the legislative
session, Pres. Philpott indicated a
disappointment that the bill did not
pass. The University had been
successful inputting some amend­ments
on the bill which would have
increased the University's appro­priations
by several million
dollars, he said.
"It is our hope that when the
legislature reconvenes in a special
session on Nov. 3, it will take the
bill the governor has put into effect
and make some additions which
are badly needed," he said.
"We are particularly disap­pointed
that the $1.5 million added
to Auburn's budget in the Ways and
Means Committee for the Coop­erative
Extension Service and the
Agricultural Experiment Station is
not in the bill. We will ask the
legislature to re-insert this amount
so that these vital University
programs can receive the funding
which they must have in order to
operate efficiently," Philpott said.

Appointments by SGA President
Bert Young to fill three previously
vacant cabinet offices were
approved by the Student Senate
Monday night.
Karlene Hager, 3RSS, the new
Horizons director; Skip Bishop,
4SSC, the new director of major
entertainment and Mike Driscoll,
3PV, the new director of student
lobby were unanimously approved
after a minimum amount of
discussion.
Replacements became neces­sary
when Eric Ludgood, former
director of major entertainment,
and Waverly Johnson, former
Horizons director, resigned and
withdrew from school. Stuart
Hartford, former director of
student lobby, was killed in an
automobile accident July 12.
Commenting on the new Hori­zons
director, Young said, "Kar­lene
is an excellent organizer,
reliable and even headed a
Horizons committee last year.
Although most of the programs
have been scheduled, there is a
great deal of work involved in
organizing the presentations
which she will be able to handle."
Hager now serves as the first
woman Horizons director.
Concerning her outlook on her
position, Hager said she hopes to
improve the present workings
under the UPC, and believes "that
publicity needs a lot bf work
because the better the students
turn out, the better the speakers
can be. With this, they will have a
more reliable calling card.
"To develop Horizons we need a
weekly effort and more committee
organization. I'd like to hand out a
mimeographed sheet of speakers'
schedules to allow members to
become acquainted with them.
Through this, they could possibly
have the opportunity to meet with
classes, hold press conferences
and add the extras that make a
speaker feel welcomed," Hager
said.
In regard to the new director of
major entertainment, Young said,
"In our view, Skip Bishop has the
best concept of selling, musical
and promotional skills. He has
past experience in helping to
promote concerts, on the Auburn
campus."
Bishop, the morning disc-jockey
for WEGL radio station, said "It's
hard to say right now what
entertainment we can line up for
the rest of the year, because we
don't know who will be touring in
this area. That was the major
problem last year. By December,
we should have some definite
plans, and, hopefully, some top
entertainment lined up."
Driscoll, the senate-approved
director of student lobby, worked
closely with the late Stuart
Hartford. "In recent months,
Driscoll has been making personal
contacts' with numerous state
senators on his own,"said Young.
"The appointment only makes his
job official."
"We hope to work on the Land
Lord Tenant Bill, and possibly, on
the ABC Bill. It has already
passed the House and is now
before the Senate.
"Another possibility is the
beginning of an internship pro­gram
with state government for
all majors and not only for
political science majors," he said.
"This will be patterned after
Georgia's program, which is the
largest in the nation."

A victory; Auburn fans come from hiding
8:40 8:50 9:01
With rolls of toilet paper, firecrackers and a hefty portion of the
Auburn spirit they came...bringing with them the taste of victory
pulled from the grasp of Kentucky. Close to 5M students, children
and oldsters joined in one of Auburn's traditions—a Toomer's
Corner victory celebration. A hound dog paced back and forth
barking out his bewilderment to the sounds of "War Eagle!" and the
jostling of bodies as students rallied to join In cheers or throw a roll.
One student found an easy way to distribute his paper, just handing
it to the cars which drove by honking their horns. And when the
telephone wires were coated in white, a match was struck and
everyone backed up as the handiwork fell In fiery sheaves from the
sky—The paper was soon to be replaced...a victory too meaningful
to go up in smoke.

Andrei Sakharov, who helped produce the Soviet H-bomb
nearly two decades ago, but later became one of the
leading domestic critis of the Soviet system, became the
first Russian to win the Nobel Peace Prize last Thurs­day.
Sakharov won the prize for his efforts to bring hu­man
rights to the Soviet Union.
A bomb hidden in a bag exploded last Thursday after­noon
without advance warning at a downtown bus stop
in the West End section of London. Eleven persons were
injured, one seriously.
A major earthquake struck the New Hebrides Islands
last Saturday. The islands, located in the southwest Pa­cific
Ocean, are sparsely populated. The quake registered
7.8 on the Richter Scale. No damage or injuries were re­ported.
Notional
Cars, trucks and buses traveled 650 billion miles on
intercity roads and highways between January, 1974
and July, 1975, reports the Highway Users Federation,
which represents highway-related industries.
The federation also says that during the first 18'
months of the 55-m.p.h. national speed limit, drivers sav­ed
three billion gallons of gasoline, which is supposed to
be enough gas to drive all the cars in Indiana and Ark­ansas
for a whole year. The traffic fatality rate was de­creased
by 18 per cent. A total of 43,534 persons lost their
lives on the nation's roads last year, a decline of 9,550,
from 1973.
Senator Frank Church says he is "about 80 per cent
certain" that he will run for the Democratic presidential
nomination. The already-crowded field of candidates
has eight announced candidates and three un- '<
announced candidates, including Church. His press
secretary states that Church will not announce his possi­ble
candidacy for at least two months. No formal fund-raising
or organizational activities have been planned,
but wealthy financial backers have been informed of;
Church's intentions.
Realizing that every year
many students enter into
housing agreements in which
they are not fully informed,
the SGA is printing a hand­book
to be included in the Stu­dent
Housing Survey, accord­ing
to Dell Spry, assistant le­gal
aid director.
The purpose of the book is to
caution students in the legal
aspects of rental contracts.
The name of the publication is
"The Landlord-Tenant Hand­book,"
and it is the first to be
printed for Auburn students,
Spry said.
Researching and com­piling
information since the
birth of the idea in the fall
quarter of 1974, five students,
Lisa Harris, Dell Spry, Mark
McQuire, Janet McMillan,
and Kathy Rees, are present­ly
adding the finishing
touches before printing.
"It has taken a tremen­dous
amount of time and ef­fort,"
commented Spry. "We
feel that the subject is covered
rather extensively."
Seeking answers to com­monly
asked questions, the
team spent hours digging into
books and periodicals as well
as discussing cer­tain
subjects with various
lawyers.
"We try to cover the major
problems in the book," ex­plained
Spry. "Some of the
main points included are: (1) a
discussion of the security de­posit,
(2) how to change your
lease,(3) information on the
waiving of certain rights un­der
many contracts,(4) where,
when, and how to look for an
apartment ,(5) a check list of
things to notice, and fre­quently
overlooked and mis­understood
clauses, and final-ly,(
6) suggestions on where to
go for assistance in related
problems.
"A recent improvement in
this area," continued Spry,
"is the establishment of the
Housing Code by Auburn
Universuty." This code sets
the basic standard require­ments
for area apartments.
Through this service, sub­standard
housing may be
complained about and the
code enforcers will make an
inspection of the conditions.
The main problem that the
handbook editors have had to'
face was a financial one that
arose simultaneously with
the recent question of the bud­get,
Spry said. The difficulty
came because the book is a
student service and will be
distributed to Auburn stu­dents
without cost.
"We have been allot­ted,
the money, though,"
commented Director of Con­sumer
Protection Lisa
Harris, "and we hope to have
the handbooks finished and
out by Thanksgiving."
fore it belongs to the state and
is under Auburn University
control.
According to Robert Cria-ler,
a geologist with the Soil
Conservation Service, about
200 tons of soil per acre per
year are removed from the
area by erosion. The erosion
' problem is created by water
run-off from the adjacent run­way.
The water was not
i properly channeled away
' from the runway in its origi­nal
construction.
Several months ago, a
study of the area began with
the idea that unified effort of
the citizens, of the com­munity
could reclaim the land
with a minimal expenditure
of funds. The intent was to
create a model area showing
what cooperative effort can
do, and if successful, it would
lead to many more com­munity
cooperative conser­vation
projects (3-C Projects).
The proposal for the project
was presented to Dr. Harry M.
Philpott, president of Auburn
University, for approval.

Col. Lin wood Punchess, direc-jtor
of Buildings & Grounds,
Mr. Edward T. Williams, con­struction
engineer of Build­ings
& Grounds, and others
presented the proposal.
i Dr. Philpott gave his ap­proval
and the project was
presented to Ira Whissinger,
- probate judge, and the Com­missioners
of Lee County,
since the project would in­volve
part of the right-of-way
of the highway.
The commissioners agreed
to become involved with the
project and Forest Long, com­missioner
of the district in
which the area is located, of­fered
his assistance with the
other commissioners promis­ing
some equipment and
materials if needed. Long has
already provided a crossing
over a large gully to give ac­cess
to the area from the high­way.
The cities of Auburn and
Opelika have agreed to assist
with the stockpiling of straw,
leaves and wood chips at the
site to be used in stabilizing
the soil.WiUiams offered B &
G's assistance in the stockpil­ing
as well as providing some
old woven wire and other such
materials.
Representatives from the
Soil Conservation Service
have assisted with some pre­liminary
surveys and with
the planning and design of a
minimum number of water
control structures.
There will be some work
.done with heavy equipment
in diverting water drains and
shaping some areas. Some
masonry work and loose
stone placement will also be
done.
Volunteers from the local
area will be used to prepare,
fertilize, sod and mulch the
area in 10 feet by 10 feet
squares. Some of the steeper
areas will require staked
woven wire to hold the mulch.
Prizes will be awarded to
those individuals and groups
who establish the greatest
number of satisfactory
squares. A satisfactory
square is one well-esta­blished
with five or more
perennials. The squares lo­cated
on the steeper areas will
be credited three-to-one
against those on level ground..
Those individuals who can­not
work directly on a square
may participate with dona­tions
for fertilizers and other
materials as well as some
prize money. Businesses may
make donations of funds or
.provide an incentive prize to
the employe establishing the
greatest number of squares.
Clyde Kimbrough, the co­ordinator
and technical advi­ser
of the project, encourages
home yard-keepers to aid the
community effort.According
to Kimbrough, they should
keep their leaves and straw
piles free of foreign matter,
such as metal and glass, and
. provide old woven wire, chic-j
ken or hog, four feet or more
wide and scrap lumber for
stakes. 2" x 1" x 2'. All such
contributions should be tagg-
'ed for the project (3-C Pro­ject).
Any perennials that are no
longer wanted such as honey­suckle,
ivy, day-lilies, ber-muda
grass, bahia grass,
quack grass, border grass, nut
| grass, wild violets, wild dew­berry
crowns, and other
perennial root propagators
are also desired for project
use. All these plants can be
saved and used after thay
have become dormant.
A stockpile area on the site
will be identified where need­ed
material can be placed, but
Kimbrough urges that the
area not be used as a personal
dump. Inidviduals should
simply place the tagged
materials in front of their
home for city pick-up.
Work days will be set up for
those who volunteer to work
on squares and should begin
• sometime after the first of the
year.
Efforts will be made to
show the progress of the work
over the two year period us­ing
aerial photographs. Wil­liam
C. (Red) Sugg, a member
of the Auburn Beautification
Council, will assist Kim-
' brough in coordinating the
project.

Auburn ITV resumes production
page 3 TOurs., Oct. 16,1975 THE AlJUURN PuiNiM&N
With a remodeled studio and over a half million dollars worth
of new color equipment, the Educational Television Depart­ment
of Auburn University resumes production next month
after being closed for a year. In January, the station plans to a-gain
air programs, this time in full color.
A $453,750 grant from the Department of Health, Education
and Welfare, with matching funds from the University, made
possible the purchase of new state-of-the-art color equipment,
replacing the studio's black-and-white.
Already installed and debugged are three RCA color cameras,
three Ampex video tape recorders and a film chain which con­verts
slides and motion picture film to electronic signals for
broadcast or video taping. Most of the equipment is installed in
humidity-and temperature-controlled rooms.
The remodeled studio control room houses a new Ward-Beck j
audio console and a Grass Valley video switcher which has
been converted to color. This video board is connected to 12
black-and-white and two color monitors.
Wiring and installation is also complete on various system
subcomponents such as turntables and tape recorders.
When Auburn-produced programs return to the air in
January, it will mark the beginning of the station's third de­cade
of operation. Begun on Oct. 3,1955, Auburn TV was the se­cond
production facility in the nation's first state public tele­vision
network.
Public television programming for the 1976 season includes
"Dixie Digest," aimed at the rural population of the state,
"Waterways, " which covers water activities and water safety,
and "Harambee," the first statewide black-oriented program.
Premiering in February is a new series, "Alabama Town
Meeting," which concentrates on the future of Alabama and
the South as it relates to the rest of the nation. Set as a modern
town meeting, the program will explore topics such as what
kind of industry Alabama should seek and how, the quality of
education and the effectiveness of the legislature.
Representatives of Auburn TV say they are well aware of the
whims of audiences.
"An adult viewer is generally following a pattern, " Director
of ETV Edward Wegener said. "The pattern is to view selective­ly;
they just don't tune us in and watch. They say, "I'll watch
specifically what I want to watch.' "
According to Wegener, Auburn television cannot be called a
station. "We are not, strictly speaking, a 'station,' because we
don't have a license to broadcast freely," he said. "We feed into
the state network and the Commission (Alabama Educational
Television Commission) contracts with us for programs. We de­velop
the production or we tell the Commission, 'Look, we've got
a number of programs,'and the shows are accepted by the
Commission and built into their program."
Wood settlement not yet paid
By Lynnette Bishop
Plainsman Staff Writer
David Wood, 4PA, who
sued his landlord in Small
Claims Court for the re­turn
of his security de­posit,
said he has not re­ceived
the $145 settlement
awarded to him.
No action has been
taken yet to serve the exe-cution
for payment
against David Huffman,
owner of Hyatt House, ac­cording
to the Lee County
Sheriffs office.
Wood, who sued
Huffman in September be­cause
his 1974 room depo­sit
was withheld, ordered
the attachment of Huff­man's
Gran Prix after
Huffman refused to
acknowledge Judge Wil­liam
Sanford's September
17 decision in the Small
Claims Court.
The West Virginia
senior took action to im­pound
the car after
Huffman gave no indica­tion
of returning the $145
settlement.
"The main reason I did
it," said Wood, "was be­cause
I owed my two room-mates
their deposit
money."
Before the execution
order could be issued, ac­cording
to Kay Galliher,
referee of the Lee County
Small Claim's Court, a pre­cise
article had to be identi­fied
as the owner's, and
located; usually a car is
chosen because of its
value.
The "do it yourself
Small Claims Court re­quired
Wood, who acted as
his own lawyer and detec­tive,
to locate and identify
the car before the attach­ment
of property could be
processed.
Other former residents
of Hyatt House, who also
did not receive a deposit re­fund
said they were en­couraged
by Wood's case
to consider further action.
The case stems from an
additional notation of
other damages added by
the new management to
the clearance form certi­fied
by the former mana­ger,
Jo Plummer.
Plummer testified that
both she and Wood agreed
that the $145 should be
returned after she had
checked the room.
Huffman contests that
the only existing room in­spection
form was made at
the beginning of Wood's
lease. He holds that
Plummer cleared Wood
and other residents of any
damage responsibilities
disregarding that form.
The Sheriffs depart­ment
should serve Huff­man
with the execution or­der
within the next week,
according to members of
t h e department- If
Huffman refuses to pay
•the settlement the proce­dure
calls for impound­ment
of the car until it is
sold by the department.
The settlement money and
court costs would then be
returned to Wood. The
remaining money would
then be restored to Huff­man,
the car owner.

'I began to catch the problems'
Thurs.. Oct. 16.1976 page 4
Photo by Dave Brown Bring'em back
Last November, eight of Auburn University's 12 trustees held a
question and answer session which attracted about 250 interested
and well-prepared students.
The trustees left with a better understanding of the views of stu­dents
who are affected by their decisions. The students knew that
at least the trustees had been willing to listen to their side of the is­sues.
They knew they had been heard. j
Many issues were discussed, including over-crowded classes, the
Student Health Center, women's rules and opportunities, and other
issues related to a growing university. Some of the trustees seemed
oblivious to the students' viewpoints; not because they didn't care,
but because it was their first opportunity to hear student opinion
face-to-face.
To give the trustees the students' views again, we want them
back.
Pres. Harry M. Philpott announced earlier this quarter that the
trustees would have to decide on several recommendations made by
the Title IX study committees this summer.
The students naturally have a stake in what the trustees decide
on such issues as housing, athletics, and student activities. The
trustees, just as naturally, should have an interest in students'
viewpoints on the matters.
The Plainsman hopes that Dr. Philpott and the SGA will again
work with trustees like State Sen. Bob Harris to arrange another
such enlightening meeting between those who set policy and the
students governed by those policies.
We would also suggest that the meeting be held the Friday after­noon
before Homecoming, as a convenience to both trustees and
students.
Bring the trustees back to their campus, so that the governing
can keep touch with the governed.
Plainsman Correction
The institutional editorial entitled "The Inconvenient Club" on
page four of the Oct. 9 Plainsman contained two errors. It was
incorrectly stated that one of the Chefs Club plans costs $30,
consisting of $15 in a dormitory residence fee and $15 as deposit on
the meal card. The plan actually only requires the $15 dormitory
fee and no deposit to Food Services. The "$300" mentioned, a typo­graphical
error, was another referencd to the erroneous $30 meal
plan cost.
Despite the error, The Plainsman still believes that Food Services
misrepresented the available options to induce on-campus women
to choose the $192 deposit plan. This effectively prevented them
from choosing the less expensive option of which many were un­aware.
DOONESBURY
"The students are so sheltered," he
said, "because they have their daddy's
checkbooks.
"For instance, right now, license tags
are due. They can go home and Daddy
will have their tags ready for them. But
for a guy here making it on his own,
that's just another problem for him."
The man, in his mid-twenties, grad­uated
from Auburn in 1973. He and his
wife—they could have been any young
couple—sat in the Opelika apartment a-mid
stacks of newspapers and large
crates of plastic cookingware. Their two
•children, a girl aged 6 and a jboy 3,
ran back and forth from the bedroom,
laughing and squealing. '•
They were talking about how life had
been for them since they married in 1969,
when he was a sophomore in business.
"My first year in school, Daddy sup­plied
my money," the young father said,
"but then when we got married, I wanted
to make it on my own. Then I began to
catch all the problems."
"We thought life would be rosy after
that day he walked across the stage with
his diploma," the mother said. But it
hasn't.
•WE THOUGHT LIFE WOULD BE ROSY"
..But many grads And working life tough
Photo by Steele Holman
A daughter was born to them, and the
man got a job on a night shift with West
Point Pepperell which he held until a few
months ago.
"I had a gravy job there and could
sleep or study five of my eight hours. But
the rough shifts always seemed to hap­pen
on the night before a big test."
In addition to the mill job, he's been a
clerk in a convenience store, done con­struction
work, has worked with an in­sulation
company, and has delivered
newspapers morning and night.
She sells the plastic cookingware
that's stored in the den, but didn't start
the job until he got out of school. He
thought that "a mother shouldn't work."
Since he's around during the day now,
he can do baby-sitting for the family.
The one thing that hit them hardest, he
said, was the bills.
"Just running around costs from $50 to
$100 a month in gas that I used to could
charge. Rent is something students half­way
know is there, but it's the charge
cards many students used instead of pay­ing
bills that's the biggest change they'll
face."
Food, shelter, security...suddenly they
hit a person who's out on his own right
between the eyes. It's why some seniors
sound a bit fatalistic when they mention
the words "The Real World."
"One thing you'll find, too, is that no
matter what kind of increase you have in
a paycheck after you graduate, it will al­ways
be spent. You move out of dumps in­to
the nicer places. Then you start think­ing
about life insurance and hospital in­surance
to take care of your family," the
father said, and that kind of takes
care of the pay increases."
Another reality the off-and-running
couple faces is that providing a good roof,
especially for a family, can be a frustra­ting,
terribly expensive undertaking.
"Where did we live? It was a little dump
with mildew from one end to the other,"
the mother said. "Then they built a store
in front of it, put a trash can at our front
door, and upped the rent."
Since then, they've lived in two Ope­lika
apartment complexes, and now, af­ter
six years of marriage, they're pre­paring
to move^into their first home, a
rented one.
They live frugally, even though he said
he's making$ 850 to $1000 per month
with his newspaper delivery operation,
and that's "more than a business person
might get after his first three years in­cluding
raises. We really have more than
I the average couple."
He said he didn't get much out of his
first degree, probably because he spent so
much time holding down two jobs at
once. So he's going back to take a short
course in real estate to "sell a few
houses."
This fellow had two pieces of advice for
students, especially the ones who live as
though there's no tomorrow, thinking
that weekends at the beach and Sat­urday
night parties will always abound.
"Having a part-time job and trying to
make ends meet on that job would be the
best way for a student to get ready to
meet the world," he first offered.
"My problem was, and still is, that I
haven't found out what I want to do. The
only thing to say to really help the stu­dents,"
he said, "is that they find out
exactly what they want to do and stick
with it."
Quarter after quarter, December,
March, June and August, students face
their days of reckoning, shaking the
hand and crossing the stage to meet the
jabs and punches of young life.
The waiting world is not something
warm and fuzzy, offering an easy tran­sition
from college life to working life, but
it's something cold and prickly, crouch­ed
on a limb ready to pounce on the
butterflies as they leave the cocoon. Paul
Hemphill has written, life—that world
out there—isn't above kicking somebody
in the groin.
That could be a frightening thought.
Hudgins didn't love dorm, so she left it
Love it or leave it...I left.
I left the crowded rooms shared by
three people.
I left the nightwatchmen who were al­ways
late..and the ones that kept asking
me to warm them up as they went about
their rounds.
I left the validation fee behind as well
as the fee you have to pay if you don't buy
a meal plan.
I left the Auburn food services. Now, I
can even cook my meals in my room with­out
fear of punishment.
I left the noise and confusion and the
midnight fire drills and the compulsory
dorm meetings including the resulting
restrictions if you didn't attend.
I also left behind the concrete block
rooms and the bathrooms shared by four
to five persons.. .the all-night parties.. .the
interruptions...the sign in-out
system...the shower vs. toilet
battle...the sleepless nights listening to
the stereo five doors down...the rules
against male visitation...the whole
gamut of life in an Auburn women's
dormitory and more.
After two years I decided that an apart­ment
would provide the kind of life I
wanted...so far it has. It has met all my
expectations and more.
Leaving the dorm wasn't a matter of
personalities. I was close to most of the
girls. Even now I go back to the dorm to
visit with some of my friends.
My gripe is with the noise, rules and
physical conditions of the dorms. I pay a
small amount more to live in an apart­ment,
but the difference is made up in its
benefits.
When I come home exhausted late at
night from working on the paper, I don't
have to wait in the cold for someone to
open the door. I do it myself.
If I want to cook a meal, I turn on my
oven, whip something out of the re­frigerator
and set the table, without ever
worrying if the smell of the food is drift­ing
down the hall.
I don't make so many contributions to
Cameo anymore either. I always quest­ioned
whether the rule prohibiting cook­ing
in the dorm was a ruse to drum up
business for the cafeterias. If it was, I
was too lazy to play along. Instead of
running over to the cafeteria, I just went
downstairs, pulled a knob and popped a
candy bar into my mouth.
I do my cooking for the most part now,
eating much more balanced meals than I
ever purchased at the school cafe­terias—
a balanced meal there just costs
too much.
One of my major reasons for leaving
the dorm was a quest for a little peace
and quiet—no one busting into your
room when you're catching up on sleep
after an all-nighter...no one rolling riot­ously
down the hallway in a trash can
while you're trying to study.
I chose to move into a house instead of
a complex primarily because it would be
quieter. No longer do I have to shut my­self
in the maid's closet, hoping for a few
minutes of uninterrupted study.
It's nice to invite someone over for din­ner,
to have a chair for them to sit on and
a place tocookthe food. It's nice to have a
living room area and closets big enough
so that your clothes don't get wrink­led...
to have your own sink for washing
dishes...and a backyard complete with
squirrels, cats and dogs, pecans and pri­vacy.
I'm thankful that my parents allowed
me to move and I can sympathize with
other students whose parents are not so
open-minded.
I can even half-way understand those
students who seem to thrive on dorm
life—its hectic pace and constant noise.
To each his own. But I'm happy that
I've finally found my "own" place to call
home.

Have you ever noticed that when
you're walking down a sidewalk ap­proaching
an unfamiliar Auburn stu­dent,
if he doesn't smile, he'll invaribly
look down, to the side, straight ahead or
up in the air (at the birds I suppose).
Or how about familiar faces—the ones
that you've met somewhere before, but
just can't quite remember where. They
usually smile, maybe say "hi " and then,
once again look down, to the side,
straight ahead, or up (I sure hope those
birds don't decide it's potty time).
And then there are the ones that you
know have forgotten your name. You're
just a struttin' down the street, just a-smiling
away, ready to say hello and low
and behold, they also look to one of the
four corners of the earth. They realize
you're someone they should know, but
their minds melt and rather than suffer
the embarrassment of "nil-name
knowledge " they avoid you.
Of course, there a few of these souls
who'll look, smile, and enthusiastically
exclaim, "Hi, how you doing!"
Something tells you that you've been
forgotten. It may hurt just a little bit to be
forgotten, but if you're like me, you'll
sympathize with him wishing he knew
your name as much as he wishes he knew
it.
, Nine times out of 10 though, I've
forgotten his name too.
Oh boy, here's one of my pet peeves.
How about that guy or gal that you go out
of your way to give a great big smile and
a "Hello", and then—no response—I
mean zilch. They look at you like you're
some type of freak or something and keep
right on walking. You'd think they were
living in/an impersonal place like New
YorkCity or something.
This is Auburn, Ala., not New York
City—thank goodness. Things are pretty
bad when someone doesn't have enough
confidence and decency to return a fellow
student's greeting.
Granted, these people are far and few
between, but they do exist and I'm sure
that I'm not the only one who has en­countered
them.
Whew! Just thinking about some of
those snobs really makes me boil.
Enough about them.
Finally, there is the small group of peo­ple
that you know relatively well and on
a depend on to know you. Yep, those are
the ones that seem to make a school of
school of 17,000 seem a little bit smaller.
"Steve, you look great. How have you
been. It seems like ages since I last saw
you."
"Uh, uh, yea. Hi, how are ya!"

page S TTrnr.., Oct. 16,1975 THE AUBURN PUINSMIN
Who is the true American?
Editor, The Plainsman:
In response to Jan Keown's
"enlightening" commentary on the
destruction of the white "gentile" race, I
am sincerely amazed. The comment in
question primarily concerns itself with
the decrease in unity among white
"Christian" Americans, which has ulti­mately
led to an unfortunate control of
the U.S. Government by minorities; (and
if I understand correctly), primarily the
Semitic minority which indicidentally,
does not include Schlesinger or Simon.
As the article emphatically states, "the
first step in any attempt to destroy a
group of people is to divide them an pit
them against each other." Well, Jan con­tinues
to relate the plight of the North­ern
European to this statement. How­ever,
whether through ignorance or
negligence fails to recognize that by
segregating and identifying minorities
within American boundaries, mankind,
the greatest and most encompassing
"group of people," is indeed sub-divided
and "pitted" against one another.
In addition . the article mentions this
"great country" and questions the heri­tage
of those minorities who are now in
control of it, thus informing the reader of
a "European" lineage which is unrighte­ously
in control of the United States.
This information brilliantly leads the
reader to question himself as to where the
Americans, who righteously founded
this country are, and why they aren't in
control of the United States.
Well, my dear history student, please
define the origin of the true American. I
was personally under the impres­sion
that the "true American" has been
displaced by European immigration
(Northern and otherwise), and is now
struggling for existence in various
Indian reservations throughout this in­famous
"melting pot" of a country.
If Jan Keown's commentary was in­tended
to arouse response from the
Auburn University student body, I em­phatically
applaud, If this assumption is
incorrect, however, I strongly urge Jan
Keown to alter his course of study.
Debbie Kanner 2PL
...' "American" is a state of mind,9
Editor, The Plainsman:
This is in response to the letter in the
Oct. 9 issue concerning HEW guidelines
as a plot to destroy the white race.
It is true that dissension is the main
downfall of any civilization, whether it
be among the social classes, the sexes, or
the various creeds. However, I found this
letter very self-contradicttory. I was ap­palled
at the Hitler-like advocation of
white supremacy. Was it not this same
kind of warped thinking that led to the
eventual destruction of Germany?
"American" is a state of mind, a be­lief,
a philosopy; not a nationality or a
color or creed. Wasn't our nation given
the name "the great melting pot"? That
is our heritage. Nothing on this earth is
rightfully anybody's. Everything we
have is given to us and may be taken
away just as easily as it was given.
Our nation will never reach its full cap­acity
until black and white, men and
women, Protestant, Catholic and Jew all
learn to live and work together.
Frances Perry, 2NS
...'A member of the human race9
Editor, The Plainsman:
I'm not sure of the geographical origin
of Mr. Keown's name, but I do know that
German names such as Kissinger and
Schlesinger are from northern Europe.
While I'm a "bona fide" W.A.S.P., (I can't
cook pizza or dance very well) I hope this
doesn't require me to accept his contra­dictory
ideas. How can one abhor
divisiveness in one breath and advocate
racial and ethnic conflict in the next?
First and foremost, I prefer to think of
myself as a member of the human race. I
have no desire to isolate myself from
such southern European cultural vacu­ums
as Greece or Italy. Come on Mr.
Keown. Such ignorance from a graduate
student of history is amazing.
I've never written a public letter be­fore.
I think the reason I felt compelled to
do so was Mr. Keown's slap at the intel­lectual
integrity of The Plainsman's
readers. If he is really advocating the
coercion of others that he deems cultur­ally
inferior, let him do so without sub­terfuge.
Why would he want to hide
racism and anti-Semitism behind the
comparatively innocent cloak of
women's liberation?

Majorettes
'ambitious'
Editor, The Plainsman
I agree with LeahTJa vis (Oct. 9 letter to
the editor) that the Memphis State
'majorettes put on a fine show and that
their feature twirler was especially
talented. However (though please note I
am a male, and as such may be badly
biased), I think the Auburn majorettes
did an excellent job. And if we are going
to compare, I would say that they did a
better job than the Memphis State twirl-ers.
Of course, never having been a
majorette in high school, I reserve no
valid: credentials for judging these per­formances
as accurately as Ms. Davis
did. In fact after reading her letter, I felt
downright stupid. My stupidity surfaced
when I realized my failure to notice that,
"They (the Auburn majorettes) simply
have no ambition." They looked pretty
ambitious out there to me. But perhaps
when Ms. Davis was in high school she
was trained to perform in a style more a-kin
to that of Memphis State.
Bill Lee 4PS
Letters
Lib pushing too far?
Editor, The Plainsman:
After reading all the recent articles
about sex discrimination we feel girls
just don't realize how good they have it.
We don't like the idea of co-ed dorms or
24-hour male visitation not because we
don't like guys but because we feel it
interferes with our privacy. Any girls
who care about their impression
on guys would have to stay "present­able"
all of the time. There could be no
more running around in rollers, face
•goop, and your Dad's old T-shirt.
If we push this woman's equality issue
too far the "Southern Gentleman" will no
longer exist. No more opening of doors,
and no more treating for dinner or the
movies. Most guys like to wait on their
special girl and put her on a pedestal. Ad-
* mit it girls, you adore the attention.
We do agree that in the area of
women's and men's athletics things need
to be evened out and the men ought to
have equal housing. In general we feel
in order for women to have equal rights
they will have to lose some rights.

'Humane9 candidates needed
Editor: The Plainsman
Politically, what is currently needed is
J candidate who speaks for the better­ment
of American society, for the re-humanization
of mankind, and whose
crusade is based solely upon a profound
sense of moral integrity. The power in all
efforts in positive reform is faith in
humanity, in the conviction that there is
an infinite worthiness in everyone. A pri­mary
aim of life is the peaceful enjoy­ment
of liberty and equality, and the
reign of that eternal justice whose laws
are engraved, not on stone or marble, but
in the heart of every individual.

Editor, The Plainsman:
On September 29, 1975, we (Lynn
Walker and Jennifer Ingram) offered
ourselves as candidates for the office of
vice-president of Dorm J. Our contention
was th at for such a large dorm, two heads
would be better than one.
When we began our campaign for this
office the dorm president told us that we
could not run. She gave no reason. We
then made inquiry with an officer of
Associated Women Students. She in­formed
us that it was perfectly legal for
both of us to offer ourselves as co-candidates.
We were also informed by
other students that there was precedent
for this in that other offices had
beennserved by co-candidates in other
dorms on campus.
Our dorm mother was advised that we
could continue as co-candidates. In spite
of this, she not only disallowed our con­tinuing
for the office, but also advised
some students not to vote for us.
The frustration of the whole matter
was compounded when we called the
dorm office to learn how many votes we
received. We were promptly informed
that they would not give us this in­formation
because AWS rules did not per­mit
it. But as before, they were unable to
state to us the rule that they relied upon.
One final insult upon injury was that
the dorm officials refused to even count
the votes that were cast in our favor! The
end result of this is that not only were we
denied our rights, but all those who vo­ted
for us lost their opportunity to have a
voice in this election.
Our feeling is that we were dealt with
unfairly in this whole matter and were
denied our right under the AWS con-stitition
to participate in what should
surely be a free election.
standing way, respecting the interests of
others and infusing its behavior with a
high standard of decency and hones­ty
and humanity; or, it can show itself
petty, exacting, devious, and self-right­eous.
Ethics alone will bring some mea­sure
of redemption to even the most dis­astrous
undertaking. This country is be­ing
polluted by men who view public of­fice
as a distinction or a reward, and not
as a duty to serve society.
There must come a time when humans
rid themselves of prejudice and pre­possession,
and enlarge their views be­yond
the present day. Individual moral­ity
recognizes the distinct existence of
man in himself as an independent end,
not barely as a means to be merged in a
mass, and controlled as a thing by pub­lic
policy. Principled convictions and a
boundless capacity for improvement con­spire
with all the ethical teachings of his­tory
to make the doctrine of individual
rights the greatest of political truths.

Meal plan contradicts AU bulletin
Editor, The Plainsman:
Students who purchased the Seven-
Day Plan purchased this meal service
with the conditions outlined in the 1976
University Bulletin. One condition was
that the meal plan "may be used inter­changeably
at Terrell, Magnolia, and
Alumni Dining Halls."
This condition is not being observed by
Food Service. Alumni Dining Hall is
closed for renovations. Terrell Dining
Hall serves only Monday breakfast
through Friday lunch. These limita­tions
upon the meal plan are in direct
contradiction to the original conditions
as presented in the bulletin. While we
can excuse the situation with Alumni
Dining Hall due to renovations, the pre­dicament
with Terrell Dining Hall being
closed is a case of fraud. One is led to be­lieve
that a meal plan holder has a choice
of dining facilities for the entire quarter
when in fact he does not.
For six meals of the 20 there is only one
dining facility available to the meal plan
holders. Even at the time of purchase
this fraud was propagated by the
cashiers who sold the meal contracts ex­pressing
the exact same conditions as
found in the bulletin.
How such a practice can be main­tained
by a public institution is
inconceivable. This practice is in direct'
violation of at least one administrative
regulation of the Federal Trade Commis­sion
concerning bait advertising.
This swindle cannot be tolerated. We
demand restitution and correction by
opening Terrell Dining Hall for the full
contract period since this would be in
compliance with the original conditions
offered by this institution.

Alum grieved by Auburn fans
Editor, The Plainsman:
I sincerely hope that you can find room
to run this short letter in your paper. It is
the deep, heart felt concern of this for­mer
student to bring attention to a mat­ter
dear to many Auburn supporters.
As an Auburn alumnus who attended
during Auburn football's golden age, the
Sullivan-Beasley era, it was with much
disappointment that I witnessed the loss
to Virginia Tech. I'm sure all Auburn
fans felt much the same as I did, partic­ularly
in view of pre-season forecasts of
an 11-0 season.
However it was with greater sadness
that I witnessed an even more dis­appointing
loss; the loss, or at least de­terioration
of school spirit. Seemingly,
the only spirit shown came in those brief
periods when the team came to life. In the
doldrums of the game (admittedly most
of it) the fans couldn't bring themselves
to get behind the team and really try to
fire them up.
Moreover, the Auburn University
band, traditionally the backbone of Au­burn
Spirit, absolutely died. It is with
this group that I direct my main attack.
Surely the N.C.A.A. did not pass new re­gulation
restricting band participation.
Saturday one couldn't be sure.
In the game of one-up-manship, I've al­ways
felt a cut above the Average Ala­bama
fan, who is your basic fair-wea­ther
fan. I've taken pride in a student
body whose loyalty abounded, win, lose,
or tie.
Please Auburn, don't fall victim to the
Alabama syndrone. You are too good for
that, and your reputation along with a
coach who gave 24 years of his life to you,
deserves better.
Marshall Adams '73
But soph has praise
Editor: The Plainsman
In reference to Mike Jackson's article
of last week concerning the "fickle" Au­burn
fans, I would like to point out a few
discrepancies.
I have yet to hear an Auburn crowd boo
any Auburn team, even when losing bad­ly.
I have yet to see any turnout to match
the one of last Saturday in the pouring
rain and cold.
From where I sat, the only boos I heard
from the crowd came when a security
guard confiscated a bottle from a stu­dent
and emptied the contents.
I agree with Mr. Ray's article on Au­burn
fans. They are the greatest in the
world and they support the greatest
team in the world. For Jackson to call
them "fickle" clearly indicates that he is
eating a lot more than just "crow".

Greeks participate
for Derby prizes
By Nina Bagley
Plainsman Staff Writer
Sigma Chi fraternity's
"Derby Day" festivities will
take place this year from
Oct. 20-24. In the activities, all
sororities here at Auburn are
given the chance to earn
points for their chapter, and,
in the end, win one of the
trophies rewarded for first, se­cond,
and third place Derby
participation, and a single
trophy awarded for Derby
Day spirit.
According to Sigma Chi
member Dick Krysiak,3AM,
this year's "Derby Daddy" for
the fraternity, the entire week
is dedicated to the purpose of
giving all Auburn students a
chance to take part in good,
clean fun and school spirit, in­cluding
students who are not
members of sororities or frat­ernities.
The week of contests opens
Monday, Oct. 20with a match
between sororities entitled
"Mud Madness." In the com­petition,
two young women re­presenting
their chapter sit
on a log balanced over a mud
pit with their hands tied and
attempt to knock each other
off. The winner earns a set
number of points for her soro­rity.
Later that evening there
will be a serenade to the soror­ity
dorms in which the frater­nity
sings a number of their
chapter songs.
Tuesday's events include a
scavenger hunt that lasts
from 3-5p.m. For the hunt,
lists of approximately 50
items are handed out to the
sororities. This day also
marks the beginning of the
Derby Hunt, which lasts
through Thursday; one clue is
given out each day for a single
derby hat hidden on campus,
with the finder earning 20
points for her particular soro­rity.
On Wednesday, a sidewalk
painting is held on the
walkways of the Sigma Chi
house, with symbols and pic­tures
pertaining to the theme
of Derby Day.
A party will be held
on Thursday night at the
Jovonn Inn (formerly the All-
Americafrlnn); everyone is
invited to come and show
their spirit.
Friday, Oct. 24, members of
Sigma Chi will wear derbys to
all of their classes; points are
gained for correct answers of
sororities in response to the
riddles asked by the frater­nity.
Along with the extra
points, the answering soro­rity
member gains posses­sion
of the riddler's derby
until 2:30 that afternoon,
when the hats must be re­turned
for use in the parade.
Official "Derby Day" opens
at 3 Friday afternoon, with
the parade of Sigma Chi and a
majority of Auburn sorori­ties.
In the march from their
houses to the track field, each
pledge class of the sororities
wears a costume that follows
their adopted themes for the
day.
After the march to the field,
the actual Derby Day pomp
and circumstance begins to
roll. The competitions taking
place this year were chosen ae
favorites by the sororities
themselves from last year's
contests. These include a
"four-legged" race, water bal­loon
relay, tricycle race, musi­cal
icebuckets, an egg smash
and a final surprise event
which is known only by
"Derby Daddy."
In a contest entitled "dress
the pledge," each sorority
chooses a Sigma Chi pledge
and dresses him up in some
sort of costume, the winning
chapter obtaining points for
the outfit's originality.
After the follies, the Sigma
Chi "Sweetheart of the Year"
is chosen from the "little sis­ters"
of the fraternity, based
on looks, personality, and
general basis of friendship
among her "brothers." A
"Miss Derby Day" is also
chosen from all the partici­pating
sororities to reign over _
this year's festivities.
At the end of Derby Day
and its week of fun and com­petition,
a party will be held
at the Sigma Chi house with
the band "Zany Murphy."
All events during the week
of Derby Day are free, and
. everyone is invited to come
and share in the festivities.

On the door of the Nuclear.

When the demand occurs,
radioactive materials are

Whether the radioactive

pers' processes are good or
poor. If the shipment is
hazardous, it is cleaned up or
disposed, Bell said.
Paper towels and "expend­able
items" are buried at a
site near the Veterinary
School. The site was selected
because it was determined
that disposing of the radio­active
materials in that loca­tion
would not contaminate
the area's ground water.
According to Bell, one burial
was four years ago while the
other burial was six months
ago.
Such items as paper towels
would probably cause no pro­blem,
said Bell adding that he
likes this method of disposal
because the landfill near the
Veterinary School is more
controlled than the Auburn
landfills.
Higher activity radioactive
wastes are placed in a 55 gal­lon
drum, said Bell, and when
the drum is full it is sent to
MopreheaqV Ky, where it is
disposed of in concrete vaults.
The Office of Radiological
Safety keeps more thorough
records with regard to com­pleteness
and accuracy than
any other office of its kind in
the United States, said Bell. A
statement is sent to the ship­per
of the material to describe
whether delivery was satis­factory.
Bell said this state­ment
may make the shippers
more careful and conscient­ious.
Radioactive materials with
higher activity are usually
shipped by truck in a con­tainer
which poses no hazard
to the truck driver, Bell said.
Other materials are shipped
by air, truck and air mail.
The main user of the radio­active
materials, said Bell, is
the Veterinary School, which
uses primarily radioactive
gold and iodine for thera­peutic
reasons. Also used are
T-3 and T-4, iodinated hor­mones
(hormones combined
with iodine) in the blood
which contain three and four
atoms respectively.
Other main users include
the School of Pharmacy, the
Department of Animal and
Dairy Sciences. Zoology
and Entomology. Minor users
are the departments ofChem-istry
and Nutrition and
Fc ods.
In the Office of Radio­logical
Safety, experiments
using radioactive materials
are done in the teletherapy
room behind locked dou­ble
doors.

Milkman starts day early
By Deborah Wyatt
Plainsman Staff Writer
You'd get up early, because
that's when the day started.
Just as you got the coffee on
you'd hear the familiar chug­ging
of the milk truck.
"Mornin', ma'am," the
milkman would hail as he
handed you a quart container
of milk. The jar was always
sweating a bit and you'd hold
it around the mouth so it
wouldn't slop.
Sometimes you'd ask the
milkman to join you for morn­ing
coffee and a friendly vis­it.
There are no dairies in Au­burn
and only one in Opelika,
Meadow Gold Dairies.
The company has four
home delivery milk routes.
Three are in Auburn and one
is in Opelika.

milkman, said there used to

William T. Stephens,

attorney for the State Ethics

Dyke Helms, 4LPO, presi­dent
of the Pre-Law Society,
said he had also contacted
Morris Dees, Attorney Gener­al
Bill Baxley and the office of
Chief Justice Howare Heflin
as possible speakers.
Dees is associated with the
Poverty Law Center in Mont­gomery
and was one of the de­fense

be two routes in Opelika, but
because of a decrease in sales,
one had to be cut.
"People have quit home de­livery
for economic reasons,"
Pirkle said . "The cost of liv­ing
has gone up and home de­livery
means just one more
bill to pay at the end of the
month."
Pirkle said there are about
100 customers per route, but
compared to two or three
years ago, the total mumber
of customers has decreased by
about 100.
"Fall quarter we look for­ward
to, but summer quarter
we just about die," he la­mented.
According to Pirkle, the
Milk Control Board gives a
differential price spread.
Most chain stores use the min­imum
price and most con-vience
stores use the max­imum
price.
"The home delivery tries to
charge right down the mid­dle,"
explained Pirkle.
In the past, Meadow Gold
gave away calendars, but e-ven
that expense has become
too great, he remarked.
"Working hours haven't
really changed over the
years," the 49-year-old man
said. "Usually we put in 55
hours a week."
Pirkle, who has been with
the company for 19 years,
said, "Work starts around 2
a.m. and ends at noon or 1
p.m."
Deliveries are made on.
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday
and Friday.
Among the normal home
delivered products are five
types of milk, orange juice,
eggs, cottage cheese, butter
and laundry detergent.
Glass bottles are no longer
used. Instead, the milk is in
plastic covered cartons.
Theamountof milk to leave
at each house is prearranged.
If a customer changes his
mind all he has to do is leave a
note.
"We always ask each cus­tomer
where to place the de­livery,"
Pirkle commented.
Most of the time it is on the
porch, but sometimes we are
asked to put it in the house, he
said.
"People's friendliness is
one of the big things that
keeps me in the business," he
added. "Many times people
will say'Come on in and have
a cup of coffee.' "
Pirkle said he did extra
duties for customers. For ex­ample,
he will get the morn­ing
paper and place it with his
delivery.

A new branch of the
Alabama Geological Society
(AGS) has opened on the Au­burn
campus, according to
Dr. J.L. Settlemyre, Auburn
University project chief.
This branch was opened as
an attempt by the AGS to use
Auburn University scientists
to do the research on AGS
studies. The AGS will pro­vide
financial and technical
support while the University
provides manpower, Settle­myre
said.
Settlemyre is an aqueous
geochemist with interest in
the areas of distribution and
cycling of trace metals and
nutrients in surface and
ground water, and soil and
vegetation.
Settlemyre reports that the
office will be interviewing stu­dents
who are interested in
staff positions with the Ala­bama
Geology Survey.
The first project that stu­dents
would work on would be
in Mobile Bay. There will be
boating excursions into the
bay, where samples of rocks
will be collected. These
samples will be sent to Dol­phin
Island where lab tests
will be run.

allocation of $900 for equip­ment
and supplies, plus travel
to two major tournaments,
the Mardi Gras tournament
in New Orleans and the SEC
rugby tournament.
Gus Lott, chairman of the
committee, said he was wor­ried
that the money allocated
to the rugby team for travel
would encourage other sports
clubs to approach the com­mittee
with requests for tra­vel
funds.
However, Buck Ruffin
argued that they were not set­ting
a precedent, and that the
Rugby Club had shown that
they deserved the money.
The Rugby Club allocation
was approved by the Senate
by a vote of 19-7.
Gene Lee, director of com­munity
relations, presented
the proposal for the Bicenten­nial
Week celebration along
with a request for $2500.
Most of the money, $1800,
will be used for a major fire­works
display, along with
paying the men who handle
it. The remaining $700 would
be used for display booths at a |
planned country fair, parade j
costs, the building of a stage I
and publicity.
Lee said, "I feel that this
money is essential for the
total success of our celebra­tion;
and this is probably the
biggest thing that Auburn's
SGA has done or can do to
promote goodwill and good re­lations
with the community
and the state."
The committee also ap­proved
an allocation of $2320
to the Auburn Circle to in­crease
circulation from 4,000
to 6,000 copies per issue.
Lott explained that the cut
in the Circle's circulation was
one of the last the committee
had made, and they had
promised the Circle extra if it
became available.
The Public Relations De­partment
of the SGA made
two requests totaling $1360
for a bulletin board in Haley
Center Concourse and to pay
for the Will Geer-Mike Wilson
Program.
The committee approved
the request for $660 for the
bulletin board. SGA treasurer
Bruce Donnellan explained
that the money for the bulle­tin
board was approved last
year, but the order was not put
through due to some confu­sion
in the business office.
The committee delayed ap­proval
of the Public Rela­tions
Department's request
for $700 to pay for the Will
Geer-Mike Wilson presen­tation.
The committee ex­pressed
disapproval that Bert
Young, SGA, president, had
allocated the money himself
from the Public Relations
budget to pay for the pro­gram,
leaving approximately
$50 in their budget.
The committee also unani­mously
approved an increase
in the Tiger Cub's budget.
Assistant Dean of Student Af­fairs
Garth Jenkins ex­plained
that a cut in the num­ber
of pages in the Tiger Cub,
with a corresponding de­crease
in advertising, plus in­creased
engraving costs,
necessitated a $325 increase
in their budget.
All Budget and Finance
committee recommendations
were approved by the Senate.

Apartment space filled
AUfM4«AMHA»t
By Mala Paulk
Plainsman Staff Writer
In recent years, the pop­ularity
of off-campus living
has risen extensively among
Auburn students. But with
the great increase in student
enrollment this fall, many
complaintsof an off-campus
housing shortage have been
reported. Students' have
found it extremely difficult to
find a place to live, ... .
Far outnumbering
housetrailers, apartment liv­ing
has become the more
chosen mode for off-campus
living. Most often, several
people choose to rent a more,
expensive apartment and
share costs.
["V Many students applying for'
\ \ dorm assignments have been,
,<•£' forced to seek off-campus
residences due to limited on-campus
space, further com­plicating
the problem of the
housing shortage.
Magnolia Dorm, the only
on-campus dorm for men
other than Sewell Hall,
houses about 680 men. Rent
I for a non-air conditioned dou­ble
room is $80 per quarter,
while rent for an air con:
ditioned double room is $115.
Air conditioned and non-air
conditioned private rooms are
also available for an ad­ditional
cost. All of these
rooms have a community i
bath.
Benson-Evans, local
realtors, encounters little
problem finding tenants for
their luxury apartments. A
: two-bedroom apartment with
1 private bath rents for $225 per
month. Most of these are
reserved in May or in the ear­ly
weeks of summer, despite
obviously higher prices.
The Folmar-Curry Agency,
another real estate firm, finds
. Kingston and Windsor Apart­ment
houses popular with off-campus
students. Kingston,
furnished and air con-
, ditioned, rents for $110 per
month, while Windsor may be •
rented for $135 per month
with a $50 deposit. This
' deposit is doubled if there is
only a single tenant.. .

The Off-Campus Housing.
Office, having received some
complaints about the situa­tion,
has set out to make some
changes in this area. Some
15,000 questionnaires have
been distributed in an effort to
find students' residency i
preferences such as dor-'
mitory, fraternity and sorori­ty
houses, apartments or
trailers.
Sex discrimination - if more
or leas housing is given to one
sex • is also being in­vestigated.
"The office has a complaint
folder, but few people seem to'
take the time to write out a for-i
mal complaint," stated Liz
Cowart of the Off-Campus.
Housing Office.
Plans for a few new apart­ment
complexes have been
announced, some of which
should be ready for occupan-i
cy by winter quarter. These
i are in addition to several new
I groups recently built. It
i remains to be seen if these
new supplements will ease the
problem of the off-campus
housing shortage.
Gentle-senate seat
not assured-Eden
By Stephanie Wolfe
Plainsman Staff Writer
Anita Gentle, a student
senator who resigned her post
this quarter because of sick­ness,
will not be able to come
back winter quarter and auto­matically
regain her posi­tion,
according to Tommy
Eden, Student Senate presi­dent.
"It's not automatic at all,"
Eden said. "If a vacancy oc­curs
she could be a possible
candidate to that post, but in
any appointment to fill a va­cancy
in the senate a person
must meet all the district or
school requirements and the
1.0 grade point average be­fore
that person is even con­sidered
for the position."
The ruling came after Eden
turned the constitutional
question over to the Juris­prudence
Committee, because
the senate was unable to rule
on the matter.
Since there was no clause
specifically prohibiting any
person from filling a va­cancy,
it was the opinion of
the Jurisprudence Committee
that a senator vacating his
seat could be reappointed to
fill that same seat, according
to Eden.
The committee consisted of
Sen. Mike Moore, Sen. Kathy
Graves, Jurisprudence Clerk
John Mcintosh, SGA
Treasurer Bruce Donnellon,
AWS Secretary Paula Cox,
SGA Administrative
Vice President Cynthia Lee,
and Dr. William Allen, fa­culty
adviser.
Lee said, "The ruling was
not aimed at Gentle per­sonally,
but at whether or not
a student senator who has re­signed
without having the
specified conditions in Article
IV, Sec. 2 (7) occur, can later
be appointed to serve in the
senate in compliance with Ar­ticle
IV, Sec. 2 (8) of the Stu­dent
Government Con­stitution.
It must be under­stood
that she was not for­feiting
her membership; she
was resigning."
The conditions specified in
Article IV, Sec. 2 (7) read: "A
senator shall automatically
forfeit his membership in the
Student Senate if he ceases to
be enrolled in that school or to
be a resident of that district
which he represents; or if he is
absent from five regular meet­ings
of the Student Senate."
The vacancy will be filled
by an appointee of SGA Presi­dent
Bert Young with approv­al
of two-thirds of the senate.

Late-night deli

Student advocates TM
AWS amendment passed unanimously
By Marian Hollon
Asst. Features Editor
"Most people have a misconceived idea of transcendental
meditation," commented Liza Carraway, 4 GFL. "They think
it's concentrating on something or having something forced on
you."
Carraway, who has been practicing transcendental med-itation(
TM) since Feburary, said she believed TM isn't diff­icult..
"You just .sit there i n a comfortable chair,
or anything cushiony," said Carraway, and soon after the eyes
close, the meditator begins to silently repeat his mantra.
The mantra is "a soothing sound" that is unique with each
meditator, according to Carraway. An individual's tem­perament
and profession help to determine his mantra, which
he keeps for the rest of his life.
Meditators do not discuss their mantra among themselves,
not so much as to keep it a secret, but to keep it from being a-bused
by others, said Carraway.
During the TM ritual, which is performed twice a day for 20
minutes, the heartbeat and breathing slow down and blood
pressure also drops.
Relief of stress and strain, heightened awareness and deep
relaxation-these are just some of the results cited by Carra-waiy.
The student related the effects of her first TM session: "I felt
much better and was terribly, relaxed. I went in with a mi­graine
headache and left without it."
She said that not only are there immediate, short term ef­fects,
but that long term effects such as patience and thought-fulness
are also achieved. Carraway cited her father and bro­ther-
in-law as "having more gentle personalities" after TM
sessions.
Carraway didn't begin TM sessions primarily as a means of
getting rid of her migraine headaches. However, during the two
introductory sessions she attended, tension and migraine head­ache
relief were emphasized. Soon, Carraway said, she noticed
that meditation had been beneficial in lessening her head­aches.
"I had a release of tension and renewed strength. It was
like having a night's sleep every time."
Carraway spoke of one woman who was unable to sleep at
night, yet did not feel tired. It was discovered that after years of
practicing TM, "she had built up mental energy and didn't need
that extra sleep," according to Carraway.
Since beginning the practice of TM, Carraway has partici­pated
in sessions in Atlanta and in Connecticutt.
After two introductory sessions, which she described as be­ing
similar to class situations, Carraway attended sessions on a
individual basis. These sessions were basically concerned with
checking an individual's mantra and seeing if it was being used
properly. A group meditation constitutes the next series of the
sessions.
Fees must be paid after the introductory session and they
vary with the individual. Adults fees are $125 while college and
high school students pay $60 and $40 respectively. Children
from age 4. (the minimum age) to 10 are able to attend ses­sions
also.
Carraway explains that there are several levels of the mind,
of which only two per cent is used daily. "The more you practice
the deeper into the levels you get,"said the students. "This re­quires
letting your mind go and do what it needs to do."

Asst. News Editor
The Student Senate unani­mously
approved a constitu­tional
amendment intro­duced
last week altering the
SGA's recognition of Associa­ted
Women Students to con­form
with requirements of the
Title IX guidelines.
The Senate also passed
three resolutions, approved
three appointments to SGA
posts, and tabled a motion re­quiring
approval by Recrea­tional
Services of any private
instructors using University
recreational facilities main­tained
with student Activity
Funds.
The constitutional amend­ment
deletes Article III, Sec­tion
2, which read, "The Asso­ciated
Women Students shall
constitute an independent
executive department of this
government, and shall
govern social rules and
regulations pertaining to
women students."
Engineering Senator Gus
Lott, who introduced the
amendment, explained that
"We want the students to do it
themselves, instead of some
judge." The amendment ends
all reference to AWS in the
SGA constitution, making it
conform to the prohibition
against sex discriminiza-tional
charters.
The special Senate Com­mittee
on AWS supported the
amendment in its report to the
Senate, saying, "The SGA in
no way intends to eliminate
AWS as an organization" and
that the SGA "must protect
itself in the event that AWS
does not comply with the Tit­le
IX requirements by July 21,
1976."
The Student Jurisprudence
Committee added that AWS
"can continue to operate as a
separate and distinct organi­zation,
using student activity
funds, even following the
deletion of Article III, Section
2 of the Student Government
Constitution."
The committee supported
this judgement by pointing
out that AWS has been in
existence since 1922, and in
the SGA constitution since
1951, and that removal from
the SGA constitution would
just return AWS to its pre­vious
independent status.
It was also added that AWS
President Alison McClure
supported the amendment.
The amendment must be
approved by two-thirds of the
students voting in the Jiome- "
coming election to take effect, t
and by 25 percent of the stu­dent
body voting.
The Senate also passed a
resolution expressing disap­proval
of the practice of
triples, and of the $24 refund
given to women living in
triples on the Hill, which the
Senate considered to be too
low.
An amendment by Jenelle
Mims was also added that
said that students should be
notified in advance of a triple,
and of the amount of the re­fund.
Senate Pres. Tommy Eden
appointed a committee
headed by Mims to study the
problem. Other senators on
the committee include Donna
Fisher, Kathy Graves, Linda
Harper and Lynne Hawkins.
The safety hazards of Lang-don
Hall were the subject of
another resolution passed
unanimously by the Senate.
The Senate recommended
"additional lighting in fire
escape stairwells, visible exit
signs and emergency light­ing
in case of power failure."
The Senate approved a reso­lution
by Layne Carruth,
Brock Hill, Rick Abbott and
Lindy Harper which called
for a campus all-pedestrian
week.
Carruth pointed out that a
week was needed to study the
possibility of an all-pedestri­an
campus, instead of a day.
The resolution has no force
other than to approve the idea
of a campus all-pedestrian
week.
A proposal introduced by
Layne Carruth would add to
Chapter 1014 a section 1014.1,
which reads, "The use for pur­poses
of private instruction of
any Auburn University
recreational facility which de­rives
a portion of its operat­ing
funds from Students Acti­vity
Fees, must first be ap­proved
by the Director of
Recreational Services."
It would also put any such
instruction under the .juris­diction
of the Campus Con­cessions
Board, and the Cam­pus
Solicitation Laws, but it
was not made clear whether
or not instructors would have
to pay the 15 per cent conces­sions
fee.
The motion was tabled for
later consideration.
The senate also approved
the appointment of Layne
Carruth as chairman of the
Traffic and Parking Commit­tee
chairman, replacing Gor­don
Isbell.

Perkins lured by Cornell
By Biz Binnings
Plainsman Sportswriter
Coach Jim Perkins has re­signed
as head coach of the
women's swim team. He has
accepted a job as the
head swim coach for the
men's swimming team at Cor­nell
University.
"Cornell's team was third
in the Ivy League Dual Meets*
last year," commented Per­kins.
"They have some good
swimmers there and I am
looking forward to a chance to
work with them."
"We are at a disadvantage
because they haven't started
training yet. Cornell has been
looking for a coach for about a
month and a half. We also
are behind in recruiting," said
Perkins.
"I'm sorry to leave Auburn,
I've learned a lot here and
made a lot of friends. Coach­ing
the women's team taught
me a lot about the ad­ministrative
aspects of coach­ing
and my work with the
men's team really helped me
learn about training and con­ditioning,"
Perkins comment­ed.
About a week ago Perkins
first received word that he got
the job. Roy Alvarez, coach of
the men and women's diving
teams had called Cornell to
get the address of a recruit
and found out about the job.
Perkins coached the West
Point Academy team for two
years to fulfil his service obli­gation
when he was drafted.
He also coached age-group
swimming while he was
there.
What's new ?
A new coach has not been
named according to Sandra
Newkirk, head of Women's
Athletics.
Telhiard wins
headhunter
For the fourth time in five
games, Auburn senior de­fensive
tackle Rick Telhiard
came up with the most tack­les
against Kentucky to sweep
Headhunter honors for the Ti­gers.
Telhiard made a season
high 11 individuals and nine
assists for a two-year high to­tal
of 31 points. The Mobile
senior has now led the Tigers
in tackles in seven of the last
eight games, going back to
1974.
"Telhiard has been a super
tackle all season," says Head
Coach Ralph Jordan. "How­ever,
the overall play by our
team hasn't aroused a lot of
attention and Telhiard is get­ting
overlooked. Rick gives a
great effort on every play, and
When we get more people with
his confidence to get after it
we'll be on our way to being a
better team." Jordan added.
Runnerup to Telhiard was
sophomore linebacker Kim
Sellers of Montgomery. Sel­lers
had six individual tack­les
and eight assists for 20
points. Junior strong line­backer
Ricky Sanders of
Oneonta had 17 points and
the other inside linebacker,
Tony Long, was next with 15
points.
The most overall improve­ment
on defense came in the
front four. Combined the two
tackles who played and the
four defensive ends did not
have a missed tackle in the
game. In the first four games,
missed tackles had been the
main breakdown on defense.
In addition to leading the
Tigers in tackles, Telhiard al­so
graded highest of all the
front four and at the same
time had a personal high
grade of the season.

Untracking the impressive Georgia Tech wish­bone
attack Saturday will be Auburn's next chal­lenge
as they take on the Yellow Jackets who
broke a school rushing record last week amassing
555 yards in total offense.
Tech lost its season opener to South Carolina,
but boasts a four-game winning streak going into
Saturday's contest
The Tigers, who have thus far played their best
games on the road, hope to continue a winning
streak of their own after stopping Kentucky 15-9 in
Lexington for their first win in five starts.
"Tech's best defense is their offense," says Au­burn
receiver coach Tim Christian. "They keep the
ball away from the other team and you have to
have the football to win."
Last year's initial Tech wishbone offense sur­passed
the school rushing record by more than 500
yards and was ranked eighth in the nation in
that category. This season they are averaging
440 yards total offense per game, 390 of it rushing,
and average 31.2 points on the scoreboard.
The Yellow Jackets, running the wishbone for
their second season, have experienced personnel to
man the attack. Quarterback Danny Myers exe­cutes
the option well and also is an effective pass­er
when the need arises. He's completed 8 of 12
passes for 179 yards with no interceptions while
accumulating a 4.8 yard per carry rushing aver­age.
Left halfback David Sims leads the Tech of­fense
on the ground. He's racked up 483 yards in
five games with an amazing 8.3 yard per carry
average and six touchdowns. Sims gathered 148
yards and scored three TDs in Tech's 38-10 rout of
VMI last week. Last year Sims had 881 yards, the
best in Tech history.
"Sims is a big boy at 6-3,220," commented Au-
'burn linebacker Coach Frank Young. "And he has
'good speed to match his size. Fullback Tony Head
is a good, solid, Bound blocker as well as a good run­ner,"
he added.
"Head has • "impressive, outstanding statis­tics,"
said Young, "and Tech controls the ball well
with solid running, but they also make the long
runs."
. The Tech backfield runs behind an experienced
line. Leo Tierney is a standout at center and end
Steve Raible is.the leading receiver with 169 yards
and three scores.
"They have one heck of an offense," Youne
stated. "They are an experienced group running
the wishbone for the second year, and they know
what they'redoing.
"Pepper Rodgers has added an innovation of run­ning
seven or eight plays without a huddle,"
Young continued. "They can get a few more plays
off per ballgame." Rodgers also adds a flare by
shuffling whole offensive teams in and out to exe­cute
a single play."
Tech's ground-oriented offense is the basic
, wishbone according to Young but can present an
aerial danger, too. "Tech establishes the running
game first," he commented, "and then they throw
at the most unexpected times and are very effect­ive
at keeping the defense off guard. They've
thrown for several touchdowns where the receiv­ers
were wide open."
"These boys are aggressive and consistent,"
Christian pointed out. "The defense is much im­proved
over last year. We didn't feel like they were
a physical defense last year, but they are much
more aggressive and experienced now."
Christian feels that Auburn's main objective
will be to control the ball, without making errors
that have plagued Tiger scoring drives in the first
five contests.
"We've got to control the ball and keep it away
from Tech's offense, " he stated, "because
they are very effective in that area. We don't want
it to be like the Tennessee game where we had the
ball only three times the second half."
Lucius Sanford returns at outside linebacker af­ter
giving opposing quarterbacks fits in '74, lead­ing
Tech defenders in deflected passes. Bob Bo-wen,
middle linebacker, and Lawton Hydrick, al­so
a linebacker, are experienced returnees. Christ­ian
feels that this linebacking corps is the strength
of the Jacket defense.
Lettermen Rick Gibney and Red McDaniel are
the tackles and ends Tony Daykin and Reggie
Wilkes round out the front four.
"Tech's weakness, if they have one, is the
secondary," Christian revealed, "because they
have a couple of freshmen back there. They've had
trouble on alignments and coverage sometimes.
They do mix secondary coveraire." he added. "I
guess they're trying to put confusion in the quar­terback's
mind."
Opposing teams have averaged a meager 124.8
yards rushing per game against the Yellow Jack­ets
but have connected for 232.8 yards passing a
contest, attesting to the inexperience of the second­ary.
This does not necessarily mean that Auburn will
pass more in Atlanta Saturday. "It all depends on
'"game conditions,"said Christian.
'Tech's defense is a lot like the Tennessee de­fense,"
he concluded. "They are not a stunting de­fense
but play fairly straight. It's almost a pure
form of the 50 defense."
One of Tech's strong points is the kicking game.
Harper Brown, a freshman, who also plays in the
secondary, is the punter and is one of the best in
the nation with a 47.1 yard average. With the of­fense
being so successful, he's only had 14 at­tempts.
His longest was for 66 yards.
In the '74 confrontation, Tech came back from a
17-0 first quarter deficit to within nine points at 31-
22 behind Rudy Allen, the number two quarter­back
from Columbus.
Kickoff time is set for 1 p.m. at Grant Field in At­lanta.

Rah rah ree, kick 'em in the knee. Rah Rah rass, kick 'em in
the a...excuse me. I'm still suffering from post-game Toomer's
Corner syndrome.
It's absolutely amazing what a victory will do for a town.
Last week, everyone was walking around moaning and groan­ing,
offering suggestions to get the Tigers out of their losing .
skid. No one was smiling, least of all football players.
The whole town was full of criticism. Jordan-Hare was full of
boos. The already dreary season was looking worse and worse.
One week and a victory later, the "loveliest village" was its
old self. People were smiling instead of booing. Talk of Au­burn's
basketball season had diminished. And freshman fin­ally
knew what Auburn football and Toomer's Corner were all
about.
The football picture looks brighter now.
-Pepper visits students?
Tech's dynamic coach, Pepper Rogers, may put quite a shock
into many Auburn fans Saturday. Don't be surprised if you
see him in the student section talking before the game. He
makes it a ritual.
Rogers looks on the game as just that, a game. Talking to the
Auburn Touchdown Club Tuesday night, Rogers said, "I wish it
could be played like rugby where both teams and all the fans get
out in the center of the field after the game, open up a keg of
beer and sing the Georgia Tech fight song and the Auburn
fight song. But it's not like that. We don't let our players do that
and Auburn doesn't either. But if I had my druthers I'd like for it
to be that way."
When he was head coach at Kansas, Rogers led the team on
the field with cartwheels. It should be very interesting.
A member of the touchdown club asked Rogers to compare
football. "I've been beat all over the country," Rogers said. "I
missed southern football. It's great. There's no place on the
west coast to play football.
Rogers also rides a motorcycle to work, listnens to rock mu­sic
and has a mod hair cut. He's even appeared in a movie.'The'
Trial of Billy Jack'. He takes football seriously but he has fun do­ing
it.
Rogers said his players have been so small and skinny at
Tech over the past few years "all we've had to run Auburn
players over with is our Model T Ford."
Rogers said he expects Auburn to start their best thrower con­sidering
Tech's poor pass defense. "I don't know who their best
thrower is .. .but we don't care. We'll play the same defense if
they start.. .Pat Sullivan. We only have one defense."
After his speech, Rogers said that next to the Tech vs. Geor-1
gia game, Auburn is Tech's biggest rivalry-giant
awakens
This week is Wreck Tech Week. And of course it's the last time
Coach Jordan will have an opportunity to Wreck Tech.The
Tech game has always been dear to Jordan. It has provided
many classic college football confrontations in the past and no
doubt will this week.
Jordan's whole season rests around Tennessee, Georgia
Tech, Georgia and Alabama. This is one of the biggest games of
the season for Auburn. The students should come out in mass
(and pajamas) to rally the football, team to Wreck Tech one fi­nal
time.
Tech used to be Auburn's, biggest rivalry before the Bam a
game was renewed. It still is to Jordan.
Auburn's football team this season has been like a sleeping
giant. The giant was hibernating the first two weeks of the sea­son.
Against Tennessee, the giant briefly woke but was too
drowsy to knock off its enemy and fell back asleep. It took a hard (
kick in the rear from a midget, VPI, to stir the giant. Still, it
wasn't awake. The Kentucky Wildcats yapped at it's feet like
playful, but irritating animals for three quarters, stirring up the
frustration and agony the giant had been carrying around. And
suddenly, the giant had had enough. It reached out and in two
swift strokes squashed a tenacious foe into the bluegrass of
Commonwealth Stadium.
Now, if the giant doesn't have a relapse, Auburn may be on its
way to a "respectable" season, still not the great season many
had predicted early in the fall.
Auburn, or the giant, may have already been on its way to a
great season if it had been using its arm along with its two
powerful legs. The last two weeks have been painful indicators
of that fact.
A good passing attack would not have helped against Mem­phis
St. Nothing would have. But against Baylor and Tenn­essee,
a passing attack would have probably given the Tigers
two close wins instead of a close loss and a low-scoring tie.
Auburn's new life, its new passing game, was not discovered
until the VPI game. It had been sitting on the bench and rest­ing
in the injured shoulder of Jeff Gilligan and the waiting arm
of Clyde Baumgartner, lauded more for his punting than his
passing.
With its new passing game, Auburn may yet cause some trou- i
ble in the SEC. Without it, Auburn fans can-look for more of the
first four games. A balanced attack is the beet attack in foot­ball.
-The 'bomb' should play
The point of it all is that Clyde Baumgartner deserves a
chance to play and not only in do or die situations. He has
shown that he can lead the team and that he can throw the ball.
I'm not saying that Baumgartner should start. Phil Gargis is
still the best Tiger quarterback to run the veer. Nobody else exe­cutes
it as well.
But Baumgartner is too valuable to waste on the bench. He j
got a rude slap in the face against Kentucky after Auburn had
recovered Sonny Collins' fumble at the 22 and the coaching
staff chose to put Gargis back in the game. Baumgartner de-j
served to finish the game and he should have.
That's not to knock Gargis or his ability. But Baumgartner
ignited the team against VPI, almost pulling a miserable loss
out of the fire, and rallied the Tigers within striking distance of
Kentucky. I feel he would have done just as well as Gargis after
the fumble.
Coaches Jordan and Barfield indicated that Baumgartner
will indeed play more. I hope so.
I "
And speaking of Jeff Gilligan( what?). Wow! Auburn has not
seen as good a pair of hands since Terry Beasley 's No.88 got re­tired.
Gilligan's heroic feats have left Tiger fans everywhere
wondering how Auburn would have done against Tennessee
with him healthy. The possibility does make one think.

AU's dressing room;
a happy place at last
By Brad Davis
Plainsman Sportswriter
Auburn's dressing room
was something it had not
been all year after Saturday
night's game with Ken­tucky—
happy.
Among the faces was Au­burn
Head Football Coach
Ralph Jordan. As the players
sang "War Eagle" in the
background, a relieved Jor­dan
sat in the coaches' bath­room,
sipping a coke.
"It sure took a long time in
coming," said Jordan of the
Tigers' first victory of the sea­son.
"But I really have to ad­mire
this Auburn football
team for the way they have
come back. That takes char­acter.
"I think they showed a lot of
guts and determination to­night.
Rather than giving up,
they just hung in there and
proved that they really want
to win," added Jordan.
Jordan had a lot of praise
for everyone, as is usual after
a victory, but he especially
singled out the defense. "I
think our defense really grew
up tonight," said Jordan.
"They really made a great ef­fort.
They may have given up
nine points but none of those
were touchdowns. And that's
saying a lot when you're talk­ing
about an offense like
Kentucky's and Sonny
Collins."
The Auburn defense, which
opened the season with
new starters, did grow up Sat­urday
night. Going into the
U.K. game, the defense was
giving up an average of 315
yards per game. They held the
Cats to 268 yards and Ken­tucky's
202 yards rushing
was its lowest of the year.
Jordan was also liberal
with his praise of the offense,
especially Clyde Baum-gartner
and Jeff Gilligan.
When Jordan put Baum-gartner
in at the quarterback
spot, it proved to be the turn­ing
point of the game.
"It was obvious why I did
it," Jordan said. "We didn't
have anything to lose. I put
him in against Virginia Tech
and he sparked-a drive which
nearly got us a touchdown."
"He's been coming along,"
Jordan said of Baumgartner.
"He's a lot more than just a
punter and extra point hold­er."
Jordan also said that Jeff
Gilligan's catch of Baum-gartner's
pass was super. "It
was a tremendous catch,"
said Jordan. "From the side­lines,
it looked like a Ken­tucky
interception. But Jeff
made a hell of a catch and
took it from the defender who
actually had the advantage." |
The Auburn offense racked
up 267 yards against the Ken­tucky
defense, which was sec­ond
in the SEC in total de­fense,
.allowing only 205
yards per game. The Tigers al­so
had their best passing at­tack
of the year, gaining 127
yards in the air. The Wild­cat
defense, billed the "Dirty
Dozen" by Kentucky fans,
had previously led the con­ference
in passing defense,
giving up a measly 70.5 yards
per game.
"We've got a tough one com­ing
up next week," said
Jordan of next week's game
against Georgia Tech. "But
for now we're going to enjoy
this one. We haven't gotten to
do that all year."

Mark it down Auburn fans.
October 11, 1975—the night
the slumbering Tigers came
alive. It was a long time in
coming, but it finally hap­pened
in Lexington, Ky., on a
cool October evening.
It all happened in the last
seven minutes of what had
been a rather boring football
game.
The Tigers went into those
final seven minutes of the
game with a 9-0 deficit. The
Wildcats of Kentucky had
scored three field goals from
46,32 and 31 yards out and
practically all of the 56,696 in
attendance were relishing the
thought of a shutout, Kentuc­ky's
first since 1965.
But it was not to be. Rick
Neel returned the kickoff fol­lowing
U.K.'s third field goal
to the 28 yard line and Au­burn's
second string quarter­back,
Clyde Baumgartner,
trotted onto the field. The first
play produced an amazing 72-
yard touchdown pass from
Baumgartner to split end
Jeff Gilligan.
The pass, Auburn's first
touchdown pass this year, ig­nited
a remarkable comeback
victory for the Tigers. Neil
O'Donoghue's point after at­tempt
was good and sudden­ly
the Cat's held a slim 9-7
lead with 6:17 to play.
The good fortune wasn't
over for the Tigers.
O'Donoghue, the converted
soccer player from Ireland,
booted the kickoff to Kentuc­ky's
premier running back,
Sonny Collins. Collins
brought the ball back 22
yards before being hit by
Tommy Hicks. The ball
scooted out of his hands,
O'Donoghue pounced on it
and Auburn had the ball on
the U.K. 23 with 6:09 to play.
Three plays later, on a third
and four situation, Kenny
Burks zipped through the
middle for a 17-yard touch­down
run.
As 5,000 Auburn fans went
wild, the Auburn football
team piled on Burks in the end
zone.
Gargis then completed a
pass to Ed Butler for a 2 point
conversion and Auburn was
on top 15-9 with 4:47 to play.
Any hopes for a Kentucky
comeback were crushed when
O'Donoghue kicked to Ken­tucky's
Steve Campassi.
Campassi returned the ball to
the 22 .when lightning struck
again. Tiger freshman Rod
Bellamy cracked Campassi
and as Collins had done,
Campassi fumbled. The ball
was caught in mid-air by
Auburn'8 Terry Fuller, and
the War Eagles had the ball
inside the 20 again.
"By golly, I could have had
me a touchdown if I'd only
kept my feet and run with the
ball," said Fuller after the
game. "But I was concentrat­ing
mostly on catching it, and
my feet kind of caved in."
Kentucky fans, sensing
that sinking feeling of defeat
started somberly filing out of
Commonwealth Stadium.
• The Kentucky defense
stopped theTigers cold and an *
O'Donoghue 30 yard field
goal attempt was wide to the
left.
Kentucky took over on the
20 with 2:51 remaining and
three desperation passes fell
incomplete, forcing the Cats
to punt.
The Tigers then proceeded
to run the clock out, notch­ing
their first victory of the
1975 season.
The Tigers won the coin
toss and elected to receive the
football shortly after Anita
Bryant sang the national
anthem.

down before having to punt.
Kentucky took over on their
own 37 yard line and
engineered a 34 yard drive be­fore
being stopped at the Au­burn
29 with a fourth and
twenty-three situation.
Kentucky's John Pierce then
kicked a 46 yard field goal to
put U.K. on top 3-0 midway
through the first quarter.
Kentucky dominated the
first half, moving within field
goal distance two more times.
Pierce's attempts from 55 and •
48 yards were both no good.
Auburn's deepest penetra­tion
in the first half was to the
U.K. 20 yard line. There, with
a third and four count, Ken­tucky's
Ray Carr intercepted
a Gargis pass in the end zone
to kill the drive.
The Cats took the ball at the
20 and moved it to their own
47 before the horn sounded to
signal the end of the first half.
At the half, Sonny Collins
had gained 70 yards of Ken­tucky's
138 yards. The Au­burn
offense had managed
only 92 yards, Burks the lead­ing
rusher with 19 yards.
The start of the third quar­ter
brought little action as the
ball traded hands four times
before the Wildcats finally
engineered a drive. That drive
ended with a 32-yard field
goal, giving Kentucky a 6-0
lead with 5:03 left in the third
quarter.
When the quarter ended,
the teams had traded posses­sions
three more times with
Auburn in control of the ball
as the horn blew.
Th fourth quarter brought
an O'Donoghue field goal at­tempt
from 57 yards which
fell short of the uprights.
Kentucky then took the ball
on their own 20 and drove the
ball down to the Auburn 14 be­fore
they were stymied by the
Tiger defense. Pierce's field
goal from 31 yards gave Ken­tucky
a comfortable 9-0 lead
with 6:33 to play.
From there on out it was Au­burn
all the way as the Tigers
clawed out an amazing 15-9
comeback victory to set their
record at 1-3-1.
Statistically speaking, Ken­tucky
outgained Auburn by
one yard, the Cats picking up
268 total yards to Auburn's
267 yards. Collins took game
honors in rushing with 109
yards while Burks led the
Tigers with 55.
The Wildcats managed 18
first downs to only 8 for the
War Eagles. Both teams had 2
turnovers.
"It was a long time coming,
but winning, this first one*
should really help us the rest
of the way," said
Auburn coach Shug
Jordan."From the sideline,
Gilligan's catch looked like a
Kentucky interception, but
Jeff got it and that seemed to
ignite the whole team. That's
what we've lacked all
year—the big play, the great
play that gives the whole
team a spark."

For losses
Gargis is his own worst critic
By Rick Telhiard
Surprise, surprise, surprise. 17-16 revisited. It was a very nice
feeling. Defensively, Kentucky was probably the best team
we've played so far. Offensively they would rank only behind
Tennessee, but they hit harder than anybody we've played this
season.
Before the game, Kentucky did things that can fire an
opponent up. An offensive tackle (Warren Bryant) was quoted
as saying the Wildcat offense would gain 300 or 400 yards on
our defense.
Their defensive captain said our offense would only gain
about 100 yards. Kentucky gained 268 total yards while Au­burn
had 267 total yards.
Before the game, the defensive tackles and offensive linemen
do their warm-up drills in our end zone. Kentucky's band lined
up in formation on our end of the field. My coach, Joe Connal-ly,
was a little mad that they were there and told them they
should be on their side of the field.
I don't think their return remarks were exactly cordiaf. When
we were doing some drills they made remarks such as: "you
ain't shit, 91."
Mike Skelton told me they harrassed him and the other of­fensive
linemen on the other side of our end zone. Needless to
say their actions were irritating.
Steve Stanaland and I started tackling each other into their
ranks when we were going through our tackling drills. That
irritated them.
Clyde Baumgartner has a new nickname after his 72-yard
bomb to quick, sure-handed, Jeff Gilligan: "BombGartner."
Is the common attitude among the students what I over heard
Saturday night? One guy asked another, "Who won?" He re­plied,
"Auburn." The first guy laughed!
Later on, a guy was heard to tell others, "No matter what else
happens, we've won one."
By Gene Vandiver
Plainsman Sports writer
Phil Gargis doesn't mind
some of the things fans say a-bout
him after an Auburn
loss, mainly because he a-grees
with them.
"The quarterback is the
leader on offense," explained
Gargis, "So it's my job to get
the team up for the game. I
should get everybody fired up
and ready to play. And if I
don't, it's my fault if we lose."
That's the attitude Gargis
carries into every game. In 49
starts, Gargis has only lost 11
games, and up until the '75
football season, he never lost
two in a row.
"I didn't really know how to
take the beginning of the sea­son,"
said Gargis. "It didn't
cause me to have any less con­fidence,
but losing just does
something to you, especially
when you're expecting to win
so much."
Gargis continued,"We were
caught by surprise this year.
Against Memphis State we
weren't ready. At Baylor we
played a little better, but we
still didn't win. At Tennessee
we probably had our best of­fensive
game, but VPI was
our worst game of the entire
season."
Despite the scores in the
first five games, Gargis'
showings aren't really bad.
This year he has rushed for
241 yards, and one touch­down,
compared to 304 yards
and three TD's last year after
five games.
"Part of my trouble rush­ing
this year," said Gargis,
"is that people have caught
onto the veer
