Seven competing
for Ward 3 posts
by Mamie Owens
Plainsman Staff Writer
[This is part three of The Plains­man's
four-part coverage of Auburn's
city elections. Next Thursday the
candidates running in Ward 4 will be
interviewed.]
Seven candidates are running for
two Ward 3 posts. For place 1, incum- .
bent Dewey V. Northcutt, realtor-land
lord, has drawn opposition from two
women, Frances Hale, assistant
professor of Vocational and Adult Edu­cation;
and Rebecca Paulk, graduate
assistant in Political Science.
In place 2, the candidates are: Victor
Vance, owner of Brightwell Shoes;
Hoyt M. Warren, retired assistant
director of AU Extension Service; A.J.
Wright, graduate student in English;
and Wiley Hartzog, assistant professor
of Vocational and Adult Education.
Northcutt, 709 Green St., says he is
running for reelection because he feels
he has something to offer to make
Auburn a better place. He feels the
council has several programs under­way
he would like to see completed. In
speaking of his platform, Northcutt
says he wants "to continue to function
as a progressive, conservative
councilman.
He contends that he can represent
the students of Auburn because they
are his livelihood. "My business is
student rentals, he stated. Northcutt
says that he feels the students of
Auburn should be represented while
they are here, adding that they have a
legal and moral right to serve the city,
not only on the city council, but in all
phases of city government.
Hale, 335 S. Brookwood Dr., says
that she is running for the council post
because she has lived in Auburn for 20
years, and wants to serve the city. She
gives no platform as such, stating: "I
am offering good judgement and a little
intelligence, and plan to be informed
when the issues do arise."
Hale wants to represent all the
people of Auburn including students,
adding that "the students are half the
population of Auburn and should be
very well represented."
Paulk could not be reached for a
statement.
Vance, 631 Florence Dr., who has
been a resident of Auburn for twelve
years, wants to see "a planned growth
pattern for Auburn, a government
responsible to the needs of the citizens
and continued industrial growth for the
city".
He feels that he will be able, to
represent the student body of Auburn
because his "day-to-day dealings are
primarily with students on a one-to-one
basis." He sees student participation in
government as being very important,
but added that he is "not sure a student
who has been here six months or a year
would be able to adequately assess
some community problems."
Warren, 884 Terrace Acres, says
that if elected, he will "make a careful
study of the situations as they exist,
and take careful consideration of
expressed feelings."
Warren feels he can identify with the
student population as he had two
children recently graduate from the
University.
Regarding student participation in
city government Warren stated: "If
they are qualified to vote, they would
vote; if they are elected, they should
serve."
Wright, 241 Payne street, is running
"to add a voice of youthful enthusiasm
to city government." His goals for
Auburn include: downtown renovation,
changing the date of city elections,
public city council meetings, and
greater fiscal responsibility.
Wright, 24, is a graduate student in
English. He feels that this position will
enable him to be a representative of
students as well as townspeople.
Although he agrees that students need
to have representation on the council,
he added that because of their
transient nature, they should not be
over represented.
Hartzog, 505 Green Street, seeks a
council post because he feels someone
is needed on the council who has not
been "tainted by previous contact with
city government." He says he stands
for sensible, responsive government, a
thorough examination of the city
revenue structure, and an equitable
relationship between the city and the
University. He also advocates the
installment of a permanent ambulance
service in Auburn.
Hartzog feels that he can comply
with the students wishes on certain
issues, and will know their needs as he
is an undergraduate advisor and
sponsor of the Auburn Industrial Arts
Club. He added that he hopes that
sometime in the near future Auburn
will change to two-year council terms
to facilitate student candidacy.
Blood drive
The Count Dracula Society and Mushroom Observatory
is seen here taking blood from Mood Drive Chairman
Richard Dennis. The CDS/MO, working in conjunction
with the American Red Cross, hopes to receive at least one
thousand pints of the precious liquid between the hours of
12 and 6 p.m. today in the Haley Center student lounge.
Students, faculty, staff and residents of the community are
invited to help reach our goal. With Auburn University's
past record in blood drives and that famous "War Eagle"
spirit, we are confident that the Auburn student body will
again rise to the occasion and "give of themselves."

The rain drips down on the blonde,
tanned girl balancing an umbrella and
notepad as she writes tickets for
parking violations. It's all in a rainy
day's work for Barbara Jean Weston, a
Campus Security employee.
"I usually get soaked in the rain, in
spite of having a raincoat and
umbrella," said B. J. "I've worked it out
so that I can hold the umbrella and
write at the same time. "But if it's
pouring I won't be out there. I wait
until the rain lets up to give tickets."
B.J. likes working outside and
having a full time job. The last two
summers she was a waitress, but she
didn't like it.
"I was paid $1 an hour to do all the
dirty work," she said. "This job pays
$2.30 an hour and the hours are good. I
get to meet a lot of interesting people,
including guests here in Auburn for the
first time.
"In fact, I write a lot of tickets for the
poor visitors, but I have no way of
knowing that they're visitors. They're
supposed to get those little stickers.
But they don't have to pay the fine."
B.J. graduated with a 3.00 in
Sociology last March, and will work for
Campus Security until she and her
fiance, Scott Briles, are' married this
summer.
This fall B.J. will have a fellowship at
the University of Alabama while Scott
will be in law school there.
Scott is working on a Buildings and
Grounds Crew this summer, and he and
B.J. eat lunch together every day.
"Most people are pretty nice to me,"
B.J. said. "When they park in a wrong
zone they almost expect a ticket and
they're not too surprised to get one.
"They're a lot more surprised when I
don't give them a ticket. I don't give a
ticket when the person is getting ready
to leave—I don't see the point in it.
"They'll see me standing at their car,
and they'll hold out a hand for the
ticket. The usual reaction is a
dumbfounded "Ah-ah" when I don't
give them a ticket."
About once every hour, from 7:30
a.m.-4 p.m., B.J. covers her beat of
Haley Center, the Quad dorms, Mell
Street, the Social Center and behind
the Library.
"I write most tickets at Haley
Center's A zone and for 15-minute
violations," B.J. said. "And I don't
work on commission, or have a quota. I
just turn in my stubs at noon and at 4
p.m. with the time the ticket was*
given.
"Most of these are A and B zones,"
she explained. "The graduate students
and faculty seem to appreciate me
protecting their parking spaces."
Although B.J. says there are a few
"hard core violators who never learn,"
she has decided the experience has
given her a better understanding of
people and how to work with them.
"This is something we all must learn
before we even begin to create our new
lives, once we're out of college," she
said.
Candidates night
Auburn Candidates Night will be
held Wednesday, Aug. 4, at 7:30 p.m.
at the Baptist Student Union, 135 N.
College St.
This event, jointly sponsored by
League of Women Voters and
American Association of University
Women will provide Auburn voters an
opportunity to listen to and ask
questions of candidates for all city
posts. After candidates for mayor and
president of the city council have been
presented the group will divide into
groups according to wards where
residents from each ward may interact
with their candidates. Refreshments
will be served during this transition.

Ever wondered how much money is collected by Campus
Police each quarter from parking tickets.?
"Lots," said Col. Linwood E. Funchess, director of
Buildings and Grounds. "Lots, lots, lots. It shouldn't be
that much," he said. "The students just keep violating the
parking regulations."
B&G statistics show that during winter quarter 1976,
20,232 parking tickets were issued and $30,849 was col­lected.
Although this figure represents an all-time high, it is
only slightly higher than the average. Fall quarter $24,559
was collected and during spring quarter $27,913 was paid
to the Campus Police.
There has been a dramatic increase in parking violations
since B&G began keeping records. During the entire
1957-58 school year only 7,021 tickets were issued, with
$4,411 collected.
For three quarters this school year, 56,514 tickets have
graced the windshields of students' cars. That adds up to
$83,321.
An additional $45,561 from parking registration fees
brings the three-quarter total to $128,882.
What is being done with this money? Funchess said the
entire amount is turned back into the B&G budget for
operating and maintaining parking lots, replacing traffic
signs and paying some salaries.
No money from Auburn's general fund is used to main­tain
parking lots, Funchess said. The money collected from
parking violations and registration fees is the only source
of revenue used to support Auburn's 6,290 parking spaces.
Funchess attributes the increase in violations to more
thorough checking by Campus Police. He cited complaints
rom faculty members as a major factor for the police
'Lots' of money collected

force's more aggressive approach toward the parkin;
problem.
In 1967, 10,470 cars were registered for 5,495 parking
spaces. In 1976, 14,165 cars compete for 6,290 spaces.
Campus Police issued 2,186 A-Zone stickers this year to
fill 1,110 faculty parking spaces. B-Zone stickers number
2,778 this year, with 851 available spaces.
Senior students are alloted 920 spaces, with 3,162
stickers issued. The largest group, 4723 D-Zone cars have
been provided 2,535 spaces.
A major problem Funchess cited is the large number of
students who do not pay the fines willingly. "We mail a
notice to the students telling them they owe money for a
violation, but we still have a problem collecting the
money."
Records show that 1,054 delinquent multiple offenders
were reported to the bursar's office at the end of spring
quarter. This number represents 6.6 percent of the tickets
issued.
After notification, the bursar's office pulls the student's
schedule and the student cannot receive grades or reregis­ter
until the debt is settled.
"We don't want all this fine money," Funchess said. "We
just want to see some respect for the parking regulations."
Funchess said some students accumulate a large number of
tickets. "It isn't right for some students to get 17 or 23 tic­kets,
when most students obey the regulations." Records
showed that several students still owe $60 $70 from spring
quarter.
Not surprisingly, more tickets are issued on rainy days,
than on sunny ones. "That is when the faculty really com­plains,"
Funchess said.
Funchess sees only one solution to the problem: students
should stop violating existing parking regulations. As for
an all-pedestrian campus, Funchess felt it not practical and
unlikely. A

Cary-Pick home
A proud past
by Sue Steele
Plainsman Staff Writer
Tucked inconspicuously
behind giant magnolia trees
three blocks from Auburn
University, stands a histori­cal
reminder of the antebel-lem
South. Located be­tween
Gay and North Col­lege
Streets, this is one of
Alabama's historical land­marks.
The Halliday-Cary-Pick
home, easily identified as
the "big white house with
flood lights," has a proud
past and an equally proud
owner, Mrs. Alice Cary Pick
Gibson. She has lived in this
home ever since her birth
over 70 years ago.
Mrs. Gibson, a widow now
with seemingly inexhausti­ble
energy, pursued a dream
which is unfolding before
her eyes. As the president of
the Auburn Heritage Asso­ciation,
she accepted the
1975 Award of Honor from
the Alabama Historical
Commission for the restora­tion
of homes in the Auburn
area.
The Halliday-Cary-Pick
home is featured on the
Heritage Tour in Auburn
and is registered in the Li­brary
of Congress as part of
the Historical American
Buildings Survey.
Mrs. Gibson's father, Dr.
Charles Cary, came to Au­burn
in 1893 to teach agri­culture
and pre-med. "My
father bought this home and
surrounding property at an
auction in 1897 for only
$3,500," she said.
In the early years, Cary
boarded Auburn students in
his attic. Mrs. Gibson
recalls, "Finally, he decided
to build a dormitory on pro­perty
next to our house.
The students called it 'Cary
Castle' because it was lux­ury
living in those days.
There were 12 individual
rooms, each with its own
fireplace. In the backyard
each student had his own
private woodshed." Today
Cary Castle has been made
into a duplex apartment
with winding staircase en­trance.
Mrs. Gibson married
Lewis A. Pick in 1925, who
later gained fame as a Lt.
General. Before his death in
1956, they restored the then
105-year-old home.
Built in 1848 by James W.
Kidd, the house is a simple
Greek' Revival structure of
handmade brick. The gray
tile roof extends over the
porch or gallery. Supported
by four heavy square
columns in front, it is typical
of early Southern architec­ture.
"Originally columns
were also in the back be­fore
we added the sun
porch," she recalls. "And an
avenue of cedars led to the
street behind our house."
A simple banistered
wooden gallery spans the
upper level in front, which is
reached by wide sloping
steps. The centered entry is
composed of two paneled
doors with lamps.
The house remains in its
original form with the ex­ception
of the addition of a
garden porch in 1916 en­closed
by large picture win­dows.
There were seven
fireplaces in all, one located
outside for cooking. Now
the kitchen is built in the
room where another- fire­place
warmed the food be­fore
serving. The hearth is
framed with a border of
Early American plates and
trinkets.
A unique feature of the
home is the circular
mahogany stairway in the
center of the upstairs hall.
Architects are perplexed by
its construction since it has
no visible means of support.
The timbers in the house
are hand-hewn and put to­gether
with wooden pegs.
Floors are made of six-inch-wide
virgin heart of pine
planks. The ceilings are
14 feet high with three-tiered,
floor length windows
of hand-blown glass.
The woodwork through­out
is simple and blends well
with the elegant furnishings.
Shuttered windows mixed
with simple mantles and
fireplaces are a fitting back­ground
for a Chinese Chip-dale
motif.
Many Chinese rugs,
screen prints, and furnish­ings
are relics of Gen. Pick's
military travels in the East.
The Chinese chop plates
measuring a yard in diame­ter
were a gift from Gen.
Douglas MacArthur.
Some antiques have been
found buried in the yard.
Mrs. Gibson recalls, "One
day our yardman dug up
some silver teapots and a
roll of U.S. currency while
trying to replant a China-berry
tree. Before we could
unroll the bills, they crum­bled
in our hands."
Used briefly as a hospital
for Union troops during the
Civil War, the Halliday-
Cary-Pick home is now used
for receptions of every kind,
club meetings, and family
reunions.
Grandson Charles, age
nine, thinks the house is
great. Mrs. Gibson says,
"He's crazy about playing
hide and go seek and loves to
slide down the staircase.
He's the Halliday-Cary-
Pick home's favorite fan!"

tremendous learning ex­perience
for me because I
have been thrust into
learning all the issues," she
commented.
Hudgins'job has brought
her into contact with
prominent Washington fi­gures
at times, including a
reception at which she met
Henry Kissinger and the
Nelson Rockefellers.
"The people here are
much more personable than
you'd think." Hudgins said.
"I never imagined important
people would walk down the
hall and actually say 'hi' but
they do." she added.
Hudgins will assume the
position of editor of The
Plainsman when she returns
to Auburn in the fall. She
has also been awarded a
scholarship from the Society
of Professional Journalism,
Sigma Delta Chi.
Hudgins is one of four
Auburn students interning
in political jobs in Washing­ton
this summer. Sandy
Gunther is working with the
department of HEW and
Brian Hester is working for
the Government Printing
Office. Co-op student
Michael DeCarlo is also
working in Sen. Sparkman's
office.
Speaking generally, Dr.
Bruce Joyce castigated
in-service education for
teachers during the annual
1 school administrators con­ference
at Auburn
Joyce, a member of the
Teachers Corps Project at
Stanford University, de­scribed
in-service education
as expanding the teacher's
capacity to be more effective
to more students. And, he
said a good teacher is a
person whose children learn
more.
"In-service education is a
disaster," he declared. "It
has not really matured in
any of the 50 states. In
California there are 150
legislative bills dealing with
in-service education, but
only 50 pieces of legislation
really apply, and no one
knows what all of them do."
Joyce said there are
250,000 educators, in addi­tion
to teachers who "do for
themselves," responsible of
in-service education in the
nation. "Nationally, we have
a huge investment in
in-service education. Some
thing is wrong when this
investment is not paying!
off." Ways have to be found
to help teachers better
improve themselves.
Also discussed at the
conference was a process
called "shadow learning"
which educators say may be
one of the keys to producing
effective in-service educa­tion
for teachers.
The process consists of
young teachers being given
the time to intern with more
experienced teachers, of
teachers shadowing a stu­dent
with the latter's
consent, and of experienced
teachers having the op­portunity
to shadow a top
administrator.
Advancing the idea oi
shadow learning was Shiela
Wilson of Mt. Prospect, 111.,
who agreed with an earlier
speaker, Dean Jack Gant of
the Florida State University
College of Education, that
teachers need better in-service
education and are
demanding it to keep
abreast of the changing
education scene. They also
agreed while the teachers
seek self-improvement, the
ultimate beneficiaries will be
the school children of
America.
Wilson suggests involving
educators within a given
school system in in-service
education, pointing out this
is just as effective, and far
less expensive, than inviting
consultants from afar.
Citizens in the school
system's community can also
be involved in the plan for
teaching improvement, she
noted.
Dean Gant stressed the
roles that state departments
of education, central offices
and school administrations
can play in encouraging in-service
education.

usan Says So
by Susan DeShazo
Entertainment Editor
Frankly, folks, I'm tired of
I the general caliber of songs
being marketed in America
I today.
Now, before you all get
I your eyebrows up over that
last statement, let me
| explain my position. I did
not say that I'm tired of the
caliber of music being
marketed in America.
There's plenty of great
music around (and some
that's not so great), but I am
concerned here with songs.
A song is a three-part
thing, by which (1) music
and (2) lyrics are bound
together in (3) an arrange­ment.
If you throw out the
arrangement, the music and
the lyrics should be able to
stand alone as separate art
forms.
This brings us to the basic
problem with much of the
music we are subjected to
each day. When you strip
them down to the lyrics,
they fall apart.
Take some of the current
popular songs—your favo­rites
and mine. Surprisingly
many of them are real lyrical
dillies. The worst of the lot
are the flourishing tunes of
the disco movement, but T
assume that you already
realize it's only 'disposable
art' with planned obsoles­cence,
so I won't go in to it.
(boggie, boogie, boogie,
bomp, bomp, bomo.)
itut there are people out
there who should know
better about these things
who are getting by with as
little as possible. Peter
Frampton, for instance, has
a song out whose chorus
reads, "Don't hesitate/
cause your love won't wait/
Oh, baby I love your way,/
wanna be with you night and
day, everyday." Sounds
kind of ridiculous. There are
no visual images that can be
properly attached to such
lyrics, and nothing that is
fresh or original. We've all
heard that story, and we've
heard it told better than
that.
Fleetwood Mac and
Buckingham Nicks got by'
with a good one too, when
several of their more sterile;
tunes hit the charts. "Have
mercy baby, on a poor girl
like me/ I'm falling', fallin,
fallin at your feet./ Tm
tingling from my head right
to my toes/...," need I go on?
I'm not intentionally
singling out these people to
pick on. There are too many
examples to name that can
be sighted of the same kind
of empty compositions
hidden behind modern-day
popular music; but just start
paying attention to your
friendly- radio and the rest
will make itself evident.
Even some of the real
old-timers of rock and roll
are losing their grip on
excellence. Grace Slick, a
long-time strong fist of
riteousness and bawdiness,
has developed a soft spot for
unintellectual pieces of
sentimentality that sound
good but say little. Paul
McCartney has become a
master of teeny-bopper
emotion. Elton John, whose
earlier albums were sensi­tive,
relevant productions,
has progressed to the point
that he communicates with
all the intelligence of pea
soup.
And the stories keep
sounding alike, ooooweee,
somebody stepped on me.
Broke my heart and kept the
key; my baby walked on me.
The sheer sameness of it
blows my mind.
Where have all the poets
gone? As I write this, I am
listening to a song I never
heard before called "The
First Girl I Ever Loved," by
the Incredible String band.
All I can say is that it's
incredibly trite. Oh, well.
You know how unrequited
love goes.
Maybe 111 go into the
songwriting business. The
way it's going these days,
I'm convinced that any
shallow fool with pen in hand
can make a fortune at it.

Beck's 'Wired' Ip sizzles
by A.J. Wright
Plainsman Music Critic
With the release of his
latest album WIRED (Epic),
the resurrection of guitarist
Jeff Beck is complete. Not
since his rave-up days with
the Yardbirds (the group
that practically invented
rocK group jamming) in the
mid-sixties has Beck found a
musical context so closely
equalling his talents as he
has on this Ip and the previ­ous
one, BLOW BY BLOW.
For almost a decade prior
to BLOW BY BLOW, Beck's
career had been an erratic
journey through a succes­sion
of blues-based rock
groups. His 1968 album
TRUTH, with vocalist Rod
Stewart, set the standard
for those recordings, which
progressively began to stif­le
Beck's abilities. Yet on
BLOW BY BLOW, freed
from an upstaging vocalist
and de blooze, Beck's dis­tinctive
guitar style reached
its finest expression.
WIRED continues and
broadens Beck's current
jazz-based roots. In place of
BLOW BY BLOW's liquid,
relaxed guitar work, Beck
has substituted the sizzling
lines of WIRED's eight cuts.
Pushed by the rhythm sec­tion
of bassist Wilbur Bas-comb
and drummers Michael
Walden and Richard Bailey,
Beck burns and smokes,
especially in the duets with
keyboardist Jan Hammer.
"Led Boots" is the ener­getic
opening cut, with
Beck's moans and spits
matched by Hammer's syn­thesizer
lmes. The first of
several rhythm-and-blues-in­fluenced
numbers, "Come
Dancing" follows. Here
Bascomb's popping bass
lines lay the groundwork for
Beck's growling guitar.
One of the album's finest
moments is the recording of
Charlie Mingus'i "Goodbye
Pork Pie Hat." Beck's
foliating guitar lines vacil­late
between clearly-defined
and distorted. The song
becomes a survey of the
different kinds of tension
Beck can coax from an
electric guitar.
Another highpoint is
"Blue Wind," a searing duet
with Beck on lead and
rhythm guitars and Hammer
playing drums and synthe­sizer.
The song is six solid
minutes of blazing energy.
The album's closing cut is
a short but strikingly
beautiful coda, "Love is
Green." The song features
Beck on acoustic (!) and
electric guitars and Michael
Walden on acoustic piano.
Bascomb's bass fills out the
song, a gentle, calming close
to the lp.
WIRED will probably not
impress people in the same
way as BLOW BY BLOW;
Beck's change of musical
direction is now history.
However, the album defi­nitely
signals Beck's break
from the shackles of his past,
and on it he continues to
cultivate fresh, jazz-based
ground.
On BLOW BY BLOW and
WIRED Beek has wisely
abandoned repetitive blues-based
rock and surrounded
himself with a talented
producer (George Martin)
and musicians whose imagi­native
playing equals his
own. Both albums also
exhibit thoughtful and
challenging choices of ma­terial.

Although Grossman would
probably flinch at being
called the "leader" in a
democracy like the Gross­man
Brothers, he never­theless
serves as a focal
point, an energy that w,orks
to bring this myriad
collection of talent to the
reality of live bluegrass
music.
The four man Auburn-based
band consists of Eric
Searcy, banjo; Jim Leach,
accoustic and electric bass;
Tom Bivis, dobro and
Grossman on guitar.
Maintaining a hectic week­end
pace is not unusual, as
the band plays throughout
the southeast. Last
February, the band ap­peared
on Ralph Emory's
local television show out of
Nashville and enjoyed
"hanging out in Lester
Flatt's dressing room," at
the Grand Ole Opry. They
are hoping to record an
album in Nashville by the
end of the summer.
Individually, the members
have been playing music for
over a , decade, with no
formal training, just hard
work and an all encom­passing
devotion to their
medium. Influenced by such
bluegrass greats as Doc
Watson, Don Crary and
Norman Blake, the roots of
their influence lie deeply.
entrenched in personal
experiences at bluegrass
festivals. "I've learned more
bluegrass standing around a
campfire, than anywhere
else," confides Grossman.
The band prides itself on
its sensitive, but spirited
interpretations of traditional
bluegrass tunes and ballads.
And though Vet school
leaves little spare time, also
they compose some of their
own pickin'. The Grossman
Brothers' music is personal,
unpretentious and largely
spontaneous. "We start
with the base and then
break for individual spots;
whoever has the lead does
what he wants," Searcy
pointed out. "Spontaneity is
the soul of bluegrass music,"
adds Grossman. "You want
to convey the recognition of
the artist's style, while at
the same time creating your
own interpretation of the
song."
The band admitted that
they play relatively few gigs
in the local area, but
expressed concern over the
lack of diverse entertain­ment
here. Immediately
that age-old question which
has haunted AU students,
past and present, arose:
"What do people do, in
Auburn?" The band
strongly agreed that there is
a need for a nice club here
which provides an outlet for
local musicians, "to let it
happen."
The Grossman Brothers
have found an escape from
Auburn's "musical vacuum:"
packing their van and taking
their "good-time" pickin'
elsewhere, but what about
those of us left in Auburn?
Unquestionably, there is a
market for the "Top Forty
and Easy-Listening" music
which is found in most every
club in the area, otherwise
there would be no reason for
bringing in these kinds of
bands, from all over the
nation.
Ultimately, this is of no
concern to the progressive
music listener (from blue-grass
to jazz) who must re­peatedly
travel to Atlanta,
Birmingham or Tuscaloosa
to find music with "heart
and soul," and not merely a
"Top Forty" rating.

The Auburn University
Summer Theatre Workshop
will present Phillip Barry's
"The Philadelphia Story"
August 5-7 and August 12-14
in Telfair Peet Theatre.
Directed by Rater Webb,
"The Philadelphia Story" is
a romantic comedy in three
acts. It first opened at the
Shubert Theatre in New
York in 1939, and the
original cast included Van
Heflin, Joseph Cotton, and
Katharine Hepburn.
The play is centered
around Tracy Lord (played
by Celia Barrett), a young
Philadelphia socialite en­gaged
to George Kittredge.
Kittredge (played by Mark
Cole) is a former coal miner
who has worked his way to
the top of his industry. The
play is set on the day before
their wedding;.
Unknown to Tracy, her
brother Seth (Tommy
Canary) has invited reporter
Liz Imbrie, and photogra­pher
Mike Connor (Randy
Corbin) to do a story on
Philadelphia society. To
complicate matters further,
Tracy's former husband,
C.K. Dexter Haven (Bill
Crowe) appears to try and
dissuade Tracy from
marrying a man he feels is
beneath her level. Things
really come to a boil at a
party held in honor of
George and Tracy that
night.
Tracy proceeds to get a
little tight and has "two
kisses and a late night swim'
with Connor. George then
refuses to marry her. And
then...?
Show time for all
performances is 8 p.m.
Tickets are $2.00 general
admission, $1.50 for faculty,
and $1.00 for students. For
reservations or further
information, contact the box

What others are saying
Auburn University has never been considered a haven of activism. While
other campuses were breeding rebellious students keen on having an active
voice in all matters, Auburn students were content to show up at football
games and yell "War Eagle."
But those days—for right or wrong—appear to be ending. A student
activist group is now becoming volatile. An alternate campus newspaper is
being published. Students are asking for a voice in matters that affect them.
It may have begun when the Title DC program caused drastic changes in
visitation rules at male dormitories. It may have been when local officials
took away a popular playground to build a new city hall. Or it could be
simply a feeling that students should have a voice in directing their own
education.
Whatever the reason, the city of Auburn must be aware of the force the
students may someday have on local politics.
An Auburn student last week petitioned the city council to change its
election from August 10 to November so that more students would be in
town to vote. His attempt failed, because it came so late.
The action was proper, but it should be a sign that students at Auburn
intend to have a voice in deciding affairs of the local government. And with
a student body of around 18,000 students in a town of only 29,000 people,
that could be a loud voice.
Other college communities have seen the results of a massive takeover of
the local government by students, many of them members of radical groups.
These attempts have been drastic failures for both sides.
Auburn can help itself and help the students it if will lay the groundwork
for future changes in its city government so that students will have a voice in
the decision-making process. Not radical voices, but sane, interested voices
which would add the sound-of youth to the staid government.
This attempt to change the election date was only a warning sign that
Auburn students want to be heard. The next time, their cry may be louder.
It would be to the city's advantage to make the next move.

Give yourself today
You can say it a thousand ways, but the idea remains the same: blood is
the essence of life. Your donation may give someone else a better chance at
life.
There's nothing new that can be said about the blood drive; the needs are
the same every quarter and every day. There is the need of others for
life-giving blood, and the need for Auburn to respond with its customary
generosity.
Go on down to Haley Center Lounge some time between noon and 6 p.m.
today,.and give a little.
You'll be giving life and love when you do.
/ was an S- U option
took to select poems and readings that
would pertain to his lecture. He was
trying to give us insight into the human
element of a rather dry subject, and we
only saw it as a respite from taking
notes.
Dr. Pierce taught a tough course,
and a good one. He really challenged
me to more than merely memorize for
tests. I learned how to think a little
more deeply in his class.
But geology was soon buried under
an avalanche of journalism courses that
trained me to put my thoughts in a
logical, coherent and above all,
readable form.
Poets were forgotten as I began
preparing practically for my entry into
the cold, cruel world.
Then last quarter I encountered a
crusty, old-style professor who was
thoroughly delightful in an introduc­tory
philosophy course. Of course that
wouldn't mean much to Dr. McKown; I
was an S-U option," as he would say,
shaking his head in disbelief.
After the first day's warning that we
should be "restfully alert," I considered
dropping deductive logic altogether.
As a people-watcher I just couldn't
deprive myself of having a class with
McKown, though, so I changed to
pass-fail status.
Because I didn't worry about a
grade, I was able to be restfully alert
and enjoy the challenge he delivered in
every class.
If I hadn't been "only an S-U option"
I might have been intimidated by
McKown's ability to paralyze all
thinking processes with a piercing gaze
and probing question.
"Sister, whatever are you trying to
say?" he would demand, effectively
erasing the hapless sister's thought. In
sudden moments of ire at our vague
language and muddy thinking, he
would rant as he paced the room,
pausing to glare at selected individuals.
"You must learn to THINK!" he told
us. "Now start again, brother, and
clearly state what you're trying
emphatically to tell us—if indeed you
know, yourself."
If his final had not been so
challenging as to leave me virtually
speechless, I would have liked to thank
Dr. McKown for the most demanding
and rewarding non-journalism course
I've had.
I just wish there were more classes
like his—classes that absolutely force
you to develop neglected reasoning
processes. Even if the mysteries of
syllogisms and Venn diagrams escape
you, McKown makes sure that you
realize the need to express yourself
accurately and concisely.
In fact, he's probably tearing up the
logic and form of this column right now.
And I wouldn't have it, or him, any
other way.
In high school I was repeatedly
warned that college professors don't
"spoonfeed" their students; you get it
or you don't, and either way it's of little
concern in the vast cosmos ofacademia
Well, I was extremely relieved to
find this wasn't the case in many
courses I took. College was for fun and
I was thankful for professors who
challenged me even less than some of
my high school teachers. It wasn't
until the middle of my second year at
Auburn that I had a class with an
instructor who resembled my stereo­type
of a professor.
You know the kind I mean—the
brusque scholars who give you fits by
pouring out information that is beyond
your realm of comprehension. Their
classes are almost humiliating, because,
they teach you just how little you
know.
And it's not until you escape from,
their horrible classes that you realize
how much they challenged you, and
how much you did learn. As much as
learning the subject, you learned to
think more clearly.
I took two geology courses as an
escape from chemistry and physics,
having no delusions about my aptitude
in the latter areas.
Historical geology was a hard course
for me, requiring a lot of outside study
and speedy note-taking. But
somewhere in the middle of hassling
about those excruciatingly difficult
tests, I realized the course was being
taught by a poet.
A "Diamond-in-the-rough" of the
first order, Robert Pierce gives little
indication, besides a barely discernible
twinkle, of his perception and winsome
humor.
Too often I was so busily racing my
pen across the page I failed to
recognize the signs of an instructor
who truly loves his subject, and
sincerely cares for his students.
So many days I sat in that class
wishing I were somewhere, anywhere
else. I didn't care what happened in
the Precambrian period, and I didn't
care how many times the Appalachians
shifted, as long as they didn't shift
while I was in the area.
It wasn't until I was gratefully
resting my wrist and fingers while Dr.
Pierce read us a poem that I finally
realized how much time and effort he
I thought she was the worst bitch to
ever hit the Plains...till I met her.
I wouldn't work at the Plainsman
because of her...till I met her.
I perceived her as a bra-burning,
radical degenerate...till I met her.
I knew Auburn would be better off
after her "reign." Now I know bet­ter—
now I know her.
The "her" is 1974-75 Plainsman edi­tor,
Rheta Grimsley.
Rheta and I met in a speech class. I
considered dropping the course when I
saw her walk in the first day. I had
recognized her from her picture in the
weekly column in the newspaper.
Immediately the professor told us
the class members would be paired up
to introduce each other to the rest of
the group.
"Douglass and Grimsley" was one
such pairing he called out. I thought I
would die—forced to interview "her."
Of course the situation was no easier
for Rheta. Her three principle dislikes
at Auburn were SGA people, Greeks,
and journalism majors who didn't work
on the Plainsman. I qualified with fly­ing
colors for all three categories.
But during the interview something
clicked. We talked and laughed, ques­tioned
and answered. We've been close
friends ever since.
Rheta, to me, is what newspaper
work is all about. The freedom of the
press and the people's inherent right to"
know were fundamental in her mind.
And the Plainsman's freedom from
outside pressure was paramount.
Editorially, she would always take a
firm stand on the issues, though many
times she risked being unpopular;not
because it was fun (because it isn't) but
because she believed she was right.
Some felt Rheta thrived on being
controversial. I disagree. I could see
how the criticism stabbed at her even
though she attempted not to "let them
get to her."
She loves the Plainsman, Housel,
beer and pizza, Jimmy, Thursdays,
Buster, and a plaque that stayed on her
door (as a similar one does on mine)
which said "Dlegitimi non Carborun­dum."
Given to her by Beverly Brad­ford,
also a former editor, the quote is
Latin for "Don't let the bastards grind
you down." As Rheta so aptly put it,
"Oh, how that's helped."
I am very close to Rheta when I sit in
my office at the Plainsman, even
though I feel only a small part of the
pressure she was under.
The point of exhaustion she spoke of,
when you think you can't go on but
realize you haven't got a choice.
But as Rheta always said, the sheer
exuberation of having a paper out
made it worthwhile.
Her reign was agony for
everyone—for her staffers, who were
expected to give their all, because she"
gave 110%; for the people or policies
she hit with no less than both barrels,
blazing; and for herself..
The Plainsman was at its height of
readership during Rheta's editorship,
with her editorial page dominant.
Regardless of how readers felt about _
the Plainsman's policies, they read and
discussed the issues. Many times two
pages were needed for letters to the
Editor. It was fiesty and provocative.
Now living in Monroeville, Ala.,
Rheta and her husband Jimmy work
on a paper that was recently
recognized as one of the best in the
state by the Alabama Press
Association.
I miss her.
Her last column ended with the
words, "Roll the presses, Rheta
Grimsley is hanging up her guns.'
Auburn's power echelon sighed with
relief.
Yes, 1975—the end of a progressive
era, the end of a great reign. Can't dance; too wet to plough

The story~you are about to read is
true. The names are the same because
nobody's innocent. Last Friday two
exceptionally intelligent law school
candidates left Auburn for Mobile,
where they were to take the LSAT
(Law School Admissions Test). This is
their story in their own words:
"It can't be that hard," Lauren said
as he aimed his silver Vega southbound
on 1-85. "After all, Dyke made a 677 on
it."
"No sweat. It's gonna be a breeze," a
confident Tony said as he glanced over

to do is get a good night's sleep, keep a
positive attitude and well dance right

school candidates are hard at work
preparing themselves for the Saturday
test.
"Hey boy—If you splash water on me
again I'm gonna hurt ya. You're gonna
wash all my suntan oil off, turkey."
"Hey, some of this stuff in the sample
test looks pretty rough."
"That's just to scare you. They don't
put anything hard like that on the real

Auburn missed the point
of the HEW guidelines
The end of this month marks the'
deadline for Auburn to comply with the
Title IX guidelines set down by the
department of HEW.
Last fall the HEW reviewed the case
of Auburn University and ruled that
changes had to be made. Under the
law, Auburn was practicing discrimi­natory
policies in areas ranging from
the administration make up to
dormitory regulations.
A year later, the Board of Trustees
at Auburn has managed to comply with
law while largely overlooking its intent
and purpose. In Auburn's interpella­tion
of the guidelines we have managed
to take a giant step. Backwards.
Auburn's dormitory policies were
discriminatory because women's
housing was restricted and men's was
not. So, the board voted to restrict the
men.
Auburn University had two
deans—one for men, one for women.
This was discrimination under law, so
the university now has four deans
instead of the obvious solution to con­solidate
under one. One of these new
deans replied that the only
disadvantage he saw to the new system
was having to "reorient to work with
both men and women."
The administration seems to have
missed the point. The Title IX
guidelines were intended to be a pro­gressive
move, an attempt to deal with
the reality that men and women are
equal, a chance to get Auburn's
mentality out of the early sixties into
the present.
A full 500 men will not return to live
in Mag dorm this fall because of the
newly imposed dorm restrictions.
Approximately 3100 women will
continue to live under regulations that
exist on only a handful of campuses
across the country. Auburn University
is depriving these men of on-campus
housing and these women of a
chance to function as responsible
adults.
Is this in the best interest of the
students?
I don't think so. It seems almost a
personal affront of the administration
against the HEW for their inter­ference.
Board members have made it
clear they have not appreciated HEW
telling them how to run their campus.'
Granted, some progressive action
has resulted from the guidelines.
Auburn now offers athletic scholar­ships
to women and the athletic
program for women is expanding. All
honarary societies are now open to
both sexes and AWS has been
abolished, consolidating all student
government under the SGA.
However, I wonder if these
compliances were made simply because
there was no way for the
administration to avoid them...or to
re-interpret them.
Auburn's function as a university is
to educate. Ideally, this should extend
into all areas of a students life. Now
that women have been afforded the
same opportunities as men, we are
expected to assume the same responsi­bilities.
The Title IX guidelines of the
HEW were designed to aid women on
college campuses in preparing them to
face these responsibilities. Auburn
University's interpretation of the
guidelines was not.
I went up to Bobby's old apartment
the other night and stood there looking
at the fading brown paint on the door
and the rutted place in the gravel
where he used to keep the bike he
never rode. I knocked on the door
then, banging on it with my fist the
way I used to four or five times a day.
But no one answered. I knew no one
would, but I knocked again anyway,
half expecting and half hoping the door
would open. It didn't, and finally I
went away. No one was home.
I called Susan the other night just to
hear the sound of her voice again and
we laughed together the way we used
to and she told me what she is doing
now and I told her all my problems and
she listened quietly the way she always
does and then gave me advice about
what she thought I should do. I don't
know how, but she always knows
exactly what to say. It must be nice to
be like that.
I wrote Danny the other day and
filled two sheets of paper with assorted
ramblings about what's happening in
Auburn and questions about what's
going on in Tuscaloosa. I kidded him a
little bit about the girl he's dating now
because it wouldn't be right without
that, and I knew that I'd get kidded
back the next time he saw me. I didn't
know when that would be, though; it
seems like it's really hard for us to get
together these days...
You spend your whole life with peo­ple:
talking with them, going places
and doing things with them, eating
with them and sleeping with them.
Some people you don't like, but most
you do, and some you really love.
It's the last kind that really hurt you,
especially if they never know how
much you love them. There's nothing
worse than finding out too late how
much someone actually means to you.
Then they're gone and you can only sit
in your room thinking of all the things
you should have said.
Bobby and I went to high school
together and then went to college
together. We read the same books and
laughed at the same jokes and dated
the same girls. We drove back from
Florida last fall, crossing Georgia at
midnight in a convertible with the top
down and the cold wind whipping our
faces. The sky was clear that night,
and the stars were hard, bright points
as we rode along and told each other
secret things.
Bobby's not at Auburn anymore, so I
don't see him as much as I used to. I
wish I had told him before he left how
much I was going to miss him.
I met Susan because she was dating
3 friend of mine. We enjoyed talking to
each other and our friendship
developed over the phone. She didn't
have much patience with me one night
when I got depressed. She said it was
always better to go out and take your
mind off your problems than to sit at
home and worry about them. I tried it
and found she was right.
Susan will graduate in December
and I think the campus will be a little
less cheerful without her.
Danny and I both played the
trombone in our high school band. He
helped me get my car out of the ditch I
backed it into one night on the way to a
parade the band was marching in. We
got there just in time; the band was
already starting to move down the
street and we had to finish putting our
instruments together as we marched
along.
Danny's at the University of Ala­bama
now and we try to write to each
other some. But it's not the same.
The value of a person's life can only
be measured in terms of how it affects
other people. I think it's a shame peo­ple
let walls stand between them. If
you love somebody, tell them. Don't
wait until it's too late: instead of happy
memories, that only leaves you
regrets

"Sexual behavior" and
"psychology of women".
Interested? The Auburn
University Psychology De­partment
thinks many are,
as it now offers these two
relatively new courses that
began Spring quarter 1975.
The courses are "Psycholo­gical
Aspects of Sexual
Behavior ," taught by Dr.
Charles Rogers, and "Spe­cial
Problems in the
Psychology of Women,"
taught by Dr. Georgia
VaJlery.
The courses have no pre­requisites
and are mostly
lecture and discussion
classes. "The courses are
not really academic," said
VaJlery, acting head of the
Psychology Department.
"Their object is to examine
ideas and awareness of
students."
Outside reading and the
sharing of ideas and feelings
within the class are a big
part of the courses. Dr.
Rogers' students keep a
diary throughout the course
to examine the changes in
their attitudes at the end of
the course. The course also
tries to offer outside
lectures from lawyers,
prostitutes, homosexuals
and gynecologists.
"Psychology of Women"
deals with the stereo-types
of women in society.
Lectures are offered about
various aspects of intelect
and non-sexist child rearing.
"Each class had both men
and women in it," said
VsJlery. "The students
loved the class and had a
terrific time. Many of them
wanted to continue meeting
even after the course was
over."
Vallery has had many
years experience in social
work and psychology and
has been working with
various women's causes for
20 years.
Rogers acquired a docto­rate
from Yale and studied
under a well known and
respected researcher in the
area of comparative sexual
behaviors. Rogers has had
20 years of experience in
teaching and research.!

The Auburn City Council
agreed to meet with stu­dents
Tuesday night to dis­cuss
the possibility of
changing the August 10 city
elections. The action was
taken as a result of a com­plaint
filed by two Auburn
students who are protesting
the elections on the grounds
of "being contrary to due
process of law."
The local chapter of the
American Civil Liberties
Union has sent a proposal to
the state chapter to be re­viewed
by the Executive
Committee of the state
chapter. The proposal asked
the state organization to
"look into immediately the
urgent problem of the
inaccessibility and inability
of. students to vote" in Au­burn.
The state organization of
the ACLU wul not meet
again until August 8, two
days prior to the Auburn
city elections.
At the city council meet­ing
July 20,Rick Halperin,
president of the student
ACLU and Lesa Crocker,
SGA senator, petitioned
council to review the
situation of Auburn students
and their participation in
city government. Council
agreed to meet with stu­dents
interested in the
problem at the council
meeting August 2.

Harvey
Glance is down, but not out
by Randy Cox
Assistant Sports Editor
Harvey still a winner
There is a certain nineteen year old track star, who
happens to be in Montreal Canada at this time, who now
realizes that it takes more than courage and dreams to win a
gold medal in the Olympics. Harvey Glance, an Olympic
favorite from Auburn, finished a disappointing fourth in the
100 meter dash. However, Harvey will return home with
something that may prove more valuable than a gold medal.
He should now have realized that you can't have all your
dreams no matter how hard you wish you could and he1
should also realize that it takes experience as well as skill to
win.
Although Harvey didn't win, you can't call him a loser. He
went further than most of the athletes who competed in the
trials at Eugene, Oregon. He also won the first three
qualifying heals going into the final race and was one of the
favorites to win. But, Fate was against Harvey and he just
didn't vin, however, there could be another try. If Harvey
wants to win—if it's in his blood, then there will be another
Olympics and another try in 1980.
Trouble in the Olympics
Surrounding Harvey and his Olympic adventures are the
controversial dealings of the nations involved in the sup­posedly
peaceful games. '.
There are hundreds of young athletes who will never
receive any reward for their long hours of training through
each day of the last four years. They will never have the
chance to see if they were among the best athletes in the
world. Thirty nations, who were originally planned to par­ticipate
in the Summer Olympics, have withdrawn from
competition because of a political controversy involving New
Zealand and an African nation. There was also a major ar­gument
concerning which flag the small island of Taiwan
would be allowed to fly. Are the Olympics to be a battlefield
for opposing nations to fight the cold war on?
Competition between countries in sporting events is
something good, but using the events as political blackmail is
a crime against the very nature of the Olympic Games. I
thought the Games were to inspire mankind toward the im­portance
of physical fitness, and to promote worldwide
sportsmanship. But the Games have turned intoa battle to
show which country is more powerful.
I realize that having patriotism for your home nation is good
and necessary to a certain extent, but you should not show
contempt against an opposing nation, win or lose.
If you have been keeping up with the Olympics you should
spot the biased attitude of all countries concerned. Although
it won't come true in my lifetime the Olympics should be the
one place where the competitors are able to forget political
pressures from their respective countries and compete for
the joy and the sake of competition.
However, the war proes on. You may never see its guns
but they are deadly; you may never see someone get killed,
but the world suffers in the end. It is up to the leaders of
every nation to have the intelligence to see that the Olympic
Games continue in the tradition they were founded upon,
and to work for a world that is a little more peaceful toward
its neighboring countries.
Gardner back in competition
Auburn's number one golfer, Buddy Gardner, is trying to
make a comeback after a freak accident which has kept him
out of tournament play. The accident occured right after the
tiger golf team had won their first SEC Golf Tournament
and the day before Buddy and his teammates were to leave
for Albequerque, New Mexico for the NCAA tournament.
The accident also ruined all chances of Buddy becoming an
All-American, and it added to the bad showing Auburn had
in the tournament. The accident happened while Buddy was
watching a professional basketball game on television.
"I hadn't been cheering at all. Just watching the game,"
GarHner commented. "Then, just before the second over­time
was over, some player made a long shot that sent the
game into another overtime."
"At that, I leaped in the air shattering the glass covering
of a light fixture with my right hand. As the glass fell I
slapped it with my left hand and got a really bad cut on my
index finger."
"They rushed me to the hospital and I didn't find out who
won the ball game until the next day," he said. "To tell the
truth, I didn't care by that time."
Gardner's first tournament play since the accident was in
the 70th Southern Amateur Golf Tournament at Colonial
Country Club, in Memphis, Tenn. Had he won Gardner
would have been the only golfer to do so three times in the
history of the tournament. But, after shooting a fantastic
first round of 66 to take the lead the first day, things went
down hill.
Gardner's second round was a 74 which dropped him to
second. When the tournament was over, he had finished far
from the top. But at least Buddy is back in tournament play,
although still a little rusty from lack of practice.
by Brad Davis
Sports Editor
Harvey Glance may be down, but he's not out.
"Sure, coming in fourth in the 100-meter finals kind of got
me down, but at least I've got something to look forward to
in the 400-meter relay," the Auburn track star said from
Montreal, Canada, where he is competing in the 1976
Olympics.
Glance won all three of his qualifying heats for the
100-meter dash with the three best times in the heats, but
was edged out of a bronze medal in the finals by Russia's
Valeriy Borzov, defending 100-meter dash winner in the
1972 Olympic Games. Borzov had a 10.14 time to Glance's
10.19.
Hasely Crawford of Trinidad won the event with a 10.06
time, with Don Quarrie of Jamaica coming in second with a
10.08 timing.
Glance admitted he was "uptight" going into the finals
because of a device in the starting blocks to detect false
starts.
"The first time I had started out of the starting blocks like
that was the day before the first heat," said Glance. "Some
of the guys had been used to them, but I wasn't.
I thought about it a lot, but I don't think it was my start
that was my problem," continued Glance. "I started out a
little behind, but I think where I made my mistake was
trying to catch up in the middle of the race. That sort of
messed up my stride, which is very important to maintain."
Glance said that although he tried not to think about it,
there was an added pressure on him since highly heralded
American sprinters Houston McTear and Steve Williams
were not in Montreal.
"I tried not to think about it, but it did affect me," said
Glance. "It seemed that everyone was laying the United
States' hopes in the race on my shoulders. But I just tried to
run my best."
This year was the first time since 1928 that an American
did not receive a medal in the 100-meter dash.
But Glance will get another chance for an Olympic medal
this weekend, as he is a member of the United States
400-meter relay team. The Americans are favored to win
the event and Glance has been chosen to run the first lap
because of his excellent starting ability.
Fellow 100-meter dash men Steve Riddick and Johnny
Jones, along with 200-meter sprinter Millard Hampton, will
join Glance in the relay.
Glance said he is physically, as well as mentally, in good
shape for the event. *
"I've been working out with the team all week and feel
pretty good about our chances," said Glance. "I stayed with
my parents and Coach Rosen (Auburn track coach) in the
motel for a few nights to get away from the Olympic Village,
so I've had enough time to rest up."
Although he is naturally disappointed in his showing in
the 100-meter dash, he isn't looking back.
"I still have a whole future ahead of me," commented
Glance. "There's no sense in looking back on one thing.
"I still have the goal of winning a gold medal,"
commented Glance. "And I think our chances are very good.
"There's nothing like the Olympics as far as competition
and excitement go," he continued. "And I would like nothing
better than to be Auburn's first Olympic gold medal
winner."

Seminoles are Homecoming foe
by Randy Cox
Assistant Sports Editor
FLORIDA STATE
Florida State University
is to play the Auburn Tigers
in there seventh game of the
season. This particular
game also happens to be
Auburn's Homecoming
game.
The Seminoles head coach
is Bobby Bowden; this is
Bowden's first season with
Florida State after replacing
Darrell Mudra. Bowden
made Seminole fans only one
. promise going into the new
season. He said his club
"would play with enthusi­asm"
and this was exempli­fied
during spring practice.
"We found out who the
players were this spring and
now it is a question of trying
to mold these players into a
football team," commented
Bowden.
On offense the Seminoles
have always been a passing
team and will probably stay
this way. Their top two
quarterbacks from last year,
junior Clyde Walker and
senior Steve Mathieson, are
both ' returning for this
season. However, senior
Jimmy Black made a strong
bid for the starting QB job
during spring drills and he
will certainly be an asset
during the season.
Mathieson was the starting
quarterback in the Semi­noles'
'74 football season but
lost the job to Walker last
season. Last season Walker
completed 57.6 Vi of his
passes for 1,619 yards and 10
touchdowns.
Florida State has more
than their share of impres­sive
running backs including
seniors Rudy Thomas and
Jeff Leggett. Also on the
running back list are juniors
Leon Bright and Larry Key
who were the top two
rushers for State last
season. Bright gained a
total of 713 yards last season
in 162 attempts which gives
him a 4.2 yards per carry
average.
Key gained 557 yards in
119 carries which gave him a
4.4 yards per carry average
for last season.
The Seminoles will have
to work on their receivers
this season. There are only
two wide receivers who
have any varsity game
experience—juniors Roger
Overby and Mike Barnes.
Between them they caught
only six passes for 73 yards
in '75. A hopeful for tight
end is sophomore Lloyd
Kelley who was switched
from wide receiver to TE
during spring drills and
showed real promise.
Bowden commented that
the thing that concerned him
most were the offensive and
defensive lines of scrim­mage.
"That's where games
are won and lost," he said.
Bowden made several
moves on the team to find a
suitable offensive line. He
moved Nat Henderson from
defense to offensive tackle
and . he. also moved Billy
McPhillips, who was just
moved to defense in the '74
season, back to the offensive
line.
The Seminoles' defense is
a little more solid than the
offense this season. Only
one man is missing from the
defensive backfield which
was the nation's second
leading defenders against
the forward pass in 1975.
Returning from the sec­ondary
are seniors Joe
Camps and Gary Woolford
along with junior Bobby
Jackson. This trio, along
with the graduated Lee
Nelson, allowed enemy airial
attacks only 63.5 yards per
contest in 1975.
One of the most
impressive defensive
players during the spring
was redshirt tackle Gary
Rose. He carries 245 pounds
on a 6-4 frame and is one of
the best hitters on the
squad.

Batters up!
After four weeks of action, intramural softball standings
are taking shape. With several weeks of play remaining,
Deadbeats, Pi Kappa Alpha, BSU, Miller High Life, Sigma
Nu, and Poison lead their respective divisions and are vying
for playoff positions. photQ by Gus fat
By Hal Brendle
Intramural Sportswriter
After three weeks of play,
intramural action shows all
leagues in close contention
for their respective titles.
The play in volleyball,
basketball and softball is
beginning to become more
serious as teams swing into
the second round of the
season. Below the league
standings and a prediction of
the teams to watch are
listed.
In volleyball, the first
round games show all the
leagues shaping up. In
League 1, Theta Xi and Phi
Kappa Tau are the only
undefeated teams remaining
and a showdown seems
certain in the coming weeks.
In League 2, East Glenn and
Sigma Nu are victorious and
sparkling play by both
teams assures this league of
a flashy finish. League 3
play shows the Bloody Bulls
without a loss and the Bulls
seem a sure bet to win their
division.
To predict an overall
winner in Volleyball at this-time
would be almost
impossible. However, Phi
Kappa Tau and Sigma Nu
seem to be the most likely
teams to end up in the finals.
Basketball play in all
leagues has been fast and
furious as court action shows
many teams with high
powered offenses. League 1
boasts of two such teams.
Bernard led by Wink
Chapman have shown them­selves
to be strong conten­ders
as they have rolled to
three consecutive victories.
Rh Factor, the other
undefeated team, is being
led by sharp shooter Lewis
Figh. Figh, who is
averaging 25 points a game,
has been virtually a one man
team. He is leading all
scoreres in his league and
his defensive play has been
outstanding.
In League 2, two teams
have shown their caliber
play is way above that of the
rest of the league. The Low
Riders led by Mitch
Downing and Jeff Gilligan,
have won every game by at
least 20 points and seem to
be headed for a play-off
berth. The only team
capable of stopping them is
the Ross St. Raiders. The
Raiders also have a
high-powered offense and
are averaging 74 points a
game.
League 3 play shows BSU"
with a perfect record of 3
wins and no losses. They
could easily be the winners
of that league if they get by
the Hustlers who have won
their two games. The
League 4 championship is
seemingly up for grabs.
Panama Red is currently on
top but there are many
teams which have a chance
to win the title in that league
and it should prove to be an
interesting battle. League 5
shows Kappa Alpha Psi and
the Sheetrockers on top
with plenty of exciting play
left for the summer. Sigma
Nu looks like the League 6
winner as they have rolled
to three victories. However,
the C's are also undefeated
and determined to stop the
Sigma Nu's when the two
teams meet.
The summer basketball
program is one of the.
strongest in years and the
playoffs as well as the rest of
the season will be packed
with some exciting play. An
overall champion would be
hard to pick as there are a
number of teams who could
possibly take home the_
trophy.
After three weeks of
softball the leagues are
beginning to shape up.
League 1 shows the
Deadbeats on top with three
wins and no losses. Pitcher
Gunter Guy has been a
major factor for the
Deadbeats three wins, but a
solid defense has also
Gators are title contenders
[Continued from pg. 6]
Another player who was
impressive was Jimmy
Heggins, who has earned
two varsity letters as a
running back, but was
moved to nose guard during
the spring and reacted
favorably. His outstanding
speed helps at that position
outstandingly.
Bowden said that "There
are weak spots on the team
in some positions, but
hopefully a group of talented
freshman signees will be
able to step in and get their
feet wet early."
FLORIDA .
The University of Florida
is to be Auburn's eighth
opponent this season and
could be a serious problem
for Auburn's new head coach
Doug Barfield. The Gators
have defeated the Tigers the
last three times they have
met.
The Gators are led by
head coach Doug Dickey.
Dickey graduated from The
University of Florida in 1954
and returned to his alma
mater as Head Football
Coach on December 30,
1969.
"Florida football is on a
steady course. The Gators
have reached the point
where they can play near
the top of the Southeastern
Conference and compete
seriously for the title each
year." said Dickey. This
statement shows the confi­dence
which Dickey has in
his team this season, and not
without some reason. The
Gators have won 24 games
in the past three seasons, 17
in the past two, and Dickey
believes that this years
Gator team will be of the
same caliber as the past few
Gator teams.
During spring practice
Dickey's main job was to
replace quarterback Don
Gaffney and fullback Jimmy
DuBose. This pair combined
for 203 yards of total offense
per game last season.
Dickey believes he has found
very capable replacements.
There are two talented
players for the quarterback
spot, Jimmy Fisher and Bill
Kynes. Fisher was hindered
by injuries in spring practice
but had some sharp days
when he was healthy.
Kynes is in the second squad
at this time but according to
Dickey he is "A tough,:
reckless runner and an
excellent ball-handler. He is
very much in the scrap for
the starting job."
In the fullback spot the
number one man is Robert
Morgan, who Dickey de­scribes
as "a quick and tough
inside runner with great
blocking ability."
Possible all-star candi­dates
on offense are center
Robbie Moore and split end
Wes Chandler.«
"We will still be very
much a Wishbone team on
offense," commented
Dickey, "There is no doubt
the key to our season in 1975
offensively, was this style of
offense. How well we
execute it in 1976 will
determine the success of our
season." •< .
On defense the , Gators
look pretty solid. In the
defensive end spot junior
Jeff Kanter had an excellent
spring and has without a
doubt won a first-string job.
He is described by Dickey as
having good quickness,
exceptional speed and ba­lance.
There will be two all star
canmdatesinthe outside
linebacker position, juniors
Charlie Williams and Kevin
Logan.
There will be few
problems on the line with
Darrell Carpenter, a strong
contender for all-star ho­nors,
at tackle, and middle
guards Melvin Flournoy and
Scott Hutchinson.
"The schedule is difficult
with the major change being
the addition of a road game
against Tennessee in place
of a home game against
Vanderbilt," commented
Dickey, "We do feel good,
however, about 9 of the 11
games being in the state of
Florida."

helped. The Deadbeats have
a solid hitting team but the
loss of their best hitter Don
Willingham due to a
shoulder injury may silence
the Deadbeats bats. If this
should happen, Sonny Mc-
Graw's undefeated Auburn
Brothers could find them­selves
right on top.
Pi Kappa Alpha has taken
over sole position of League
2 with three wins and no
losses. Phil Clements, who
pitched the third game
instead of the PKA's injured
Stan Cook, proved to be all
the PKA's needed as they
are averaging 14 runs a
game and look like the
league champs. The
Mercanaries also are un­defeated
in League 2 and
could prove to be a strong
test for the PKA's.
League 3 team BSU has a
2 win and no loss record, but
the season is just underway
and the league title is still up
in the air. Miller High Life is
undefeated in League 4 and
looks like they may be the
champs if they continue
winning. League 5 looks to
be the most interesting at
the moment. Three teams,
Sigma Nu, Poison, and
Wyoming, all have perfect
records of 3-0 and the season
should prove to be one full of
action. The advantage goes
to Sigma Nu with pitcher
Podey Easterwood who led
the Sigma Nu team to the
Fraternity Playoffs spring
quarter.
The softball leagues are
too strong to pick an overall
winner just yet. Some of the
teams to watch will be the
Deadbeats, the PKA's, and
Sigma Nu as they will
certainly provide plenty of
action in their bids for their
respective league titles.

Atlantic to Pacific
AU students'biking it'
by David K. Williamson
Plainsman Staff Writer
When most people think
of bicycling, they think of a
leisurely ride in the country
or beating the parking ticket
syndrome by riding to class.
But three Auburn students
had something else in mind
this summer.
Larry Gynther, 2PM,
Louis Abney, 2EE and
Tommy Vaughan, 3BI, left
this week on an excursion,
marathon style.
Dipping their front wheels
in the Atlantic Ocean at
Neptune Beach near Jack­sonville,
Fla., they em­barked
on a cross country
ride. If everything goes as
planned, the trio will be
dipping their wheels in the
water again in September,
this time in the Pacific at
Cape Disappointment, near
Tacoma, Wash.
The three Auburn natives
left Auburn July 16 and
headed to Jacksonville by
bus. After reassembling

ART FILM
A film that should be of
much interest to all liberal
arts students will be shown
Tuesday, August 3, at 7:30
p.m. in Room 91 of Biggin

"Painters Painting" and ac:
cording to one source in the
Art Department is "one of
the best films to be shown on
the Auburn campus in the
past twenty years."
The film, produced by
Emil deAntonio, features in­terviews
with such well
known artists as Andy War­hol
and Willem DeKooning.
The artists will have their
works displayed in color
during this two hour fjlm
classic. Many more artists
will be interviewed and have
their works displayed along
with the above mentioned
painters.

their bikes, they headed
eastward on July 18. They
had a little trouble leaving
Jacksonville when a toll
bridge attendant refused to
let them pedal across the St.
John's River. Undaunted,
they flagged down a pickup
truck and piled their bikes in
the back.
Traveling between 95-100
miles a day, it took them
four days to reach Auburn,
where they splurged and
took a full day to rest. The
first night they camped-out
near Folkston, Ga, before
heading for nicer lodgings in
Tifton, Ga. the next night.
The air conditioned dorm at
a Tifton junior college was a
welcome relief, Gynther
said, after riding in blazing
103 degree Georgia heat.
They joined the throng of
newsmen and sightseers in
Plains, Ga. the next night,
taking in all the scenes and
hullabalu which surrounds
Democratic nominee Jimmy
Carter and his campaign.
Riding 16-17 hours and
resting only 2-3 hours a day
the cyclists ended the first
leg of their trip Wednesday
as they wheeled into
Auburn. The short four
days had already taken its.
toll; Gynther had lost seven
pounds.
What would make
someone want to ride all the
way across the country?
Gynther has an answer to
that: It's a cheap way to see
the country.
Carrying everything they
will need for two months in
packs on their backs, they
are somewhat limited in
what they could take. They
will be buying their food at
stores along the way. They
plan to eat lots of fruit and
juices, especially bananas
and orange juices.
Bicycle touring is not new
to any of them. Gynther and
Vaughn had a practice run at
Christmas, riding through
near zero weather to St.
Louis, Mo. Abney accom­panied
another enthusiast
several years ago on a bike
trip to Vermont.
As the boys reach the
west coast, they plan a short
side-trip, a pedal to the top
of Mt. Hood in Oregon. By
press time the riders were
riding into the sunset in
Missouri! •
