Honor • it
Students, faculty reach impasse
By Jane Parry
Plainsman Staff Writer
The Academic Standards Com­mittee
and the Committee on
Academic Affairs have reached a
stalemate in trying to develop an
honor code suitable to both stu­dents
and faculty. The Student
Senate rejected the faculty version
at its meeting Monday night.
The main points on which the
committees disagree are: the
statement "An Auburn student
will not cheat nor tolerate those
who do" which heads the faculty's
version, a provision to hold stu­dents
accountable for turning in
those who cheat, the composition
of an honor council and the
question of using the same paper
for more than one class.
Dr. Edward Williamson, chair­man
of the Academic Standards
Committee, says, "An honor code
must provide for student responsi­bility
including holding those ac­countable
who do cheat and
preventing them from cheating."
He says that if students want to
act as judges in punishing mat­ters
of cheating, they must take
the responsibility of turning in
people breaking the code.
Steve Boucher, ex-chairman of
the Committee on Academic Af­fairs,
believes that students should
not have to act as "bloodhounds"
for other students who may be
cheating.
The faculty version provides for
three members of a 12-member
honor council to investigate the
seriousness of the offense and
Polygraph test asked
in city controversy
By Susan Counts
Assistant News Editor
Auburn Mayor Donald Hayhurst
said yesterday he would take a
polygraph test in order to discre­dit
accusations of contriving a
rumored fire department strike.
The accusations were made by
Councilman H.C. Morgan at the
May 17 Auburn City Council
meeting.
Morgan accused Hayhurst and
William H. Allen, president of the
Auburn City Council, of releasing
information about a possible strike
to the Auburn Bulletin.
"I am also willing to answer
other allegations by use of the
polygraph," Hayhurst said. "I do
this with no strings attached. I am
not asking anyone else to join me,
not at this time."
According to Allen, he heard a
rumor of such a strike and
approached Hayhurst with it. They
then went together to discuss the
situation with the fire chief.
"The fire chief said he thought
he could handle it so we left it in
his hands," Allen said.
Both Hayhurst and Allen denied
they released any information to
the Auburn Bulletin about the
issue.
Allen said Paul Davis, Auburn
Bulletin publisher, had even con­firmed
their denials.
A letter requesting the retrac­tion
of charges made at the
meeting has been sent to Morgan,
according to Allen. He said his
letter also expressed a willingness
to get together with Morgan and
resolve any problems he felt
existed in the council.
The letter concerned Morgan's
attack on Allen, Hayhurst and
Davis.
No response to the letter has
been received because Morgan
just returned from out of town.
"The whole thing is very unfor­tunate,"
said Allen. "It was
unexpected and uncalled for."
Morgan's statement charged Al­len
and Hayhurst of being involved
in a game of "political football"
and attempting to disrupt the city
government by trying to obtain
personal gain.
He also accused the Bulletin of
being "the lowest form of so-called
journalism" in connection with
their coverage of the government,
specifically the article which indi­cated
the Auburn Fire Department
was planning to strike.
Allen said Morgan had never
confronted him with his com­plaints
prior to the statement a£
the Council meeting.
"He's blown his top at commit­tee
meetings (about various is­sues)
but never in a Council
meeting," Allen said.
One of Morgan's charges was
that Allen and Hayhurst had
joined together in an attack to
remove the police chief, the city
attorney and the city manager
from their positions.
Allen confirmed his desire for
new leadership in the police force.
"I think we need a new police
chief. I like the present chief. He's
a nice fellow. It's nothing per­sonal.
I just don't think he has

suggest a penalty. The student
version provides for a seven-mem­ber
council with a non-voting
chairman who will call witnesses
to testify before the council which
will then decide by a 5-6 vote
whether the accused is giiilty.
Penalties for both version in­cluded
expulsion and suspension
for extreme cases. An F in the
course with a notation for the
cheating violation is also a penalty
but the notation can be removed
by appeal upon graduation.
Concerning using the same
paper for more than one class,
Williamson said that since the
purpose of the papers was to
further the student's education, to
use a term paper for more than
one class defeats the whole pur­pose
of the project. The faculty
version says the same paper
cannot be used if the instructors
involve indicate that they will not
accept papers written originally
for another class.
Boucher says that since a
student has done the work himself
that it cannot be considered
cheating to use a paper more than
once.
The Academic Standards Com­mittee
was asked by the Uni­versity
Senate to review the
current Honor Code in October
1976. Williamson said, "Buck
Ruffin agreed that the Senate
would support the recommenda­tions
of the committee. That the
sturien&s weie going tt*'4tt\xe rip,

surprise to me." Climate drew professor to South

It was mass confusion in the
office of Dr. Robin F.A. Fabel,
assistant history professor at Au­burn
University. Pools of water
covered Haley Center's seventh
floor, mops were everywhere and
a cleaning machine roared down
the hall.
The fortyish, about 5-foot-9 his­torian,
looking thoroughly disgust­ed,
was picking his way across the
puddles to his now almost barren
Bugliosi analyzes Manson
office. A water pipe had broken
and water poured through his
ceiling.
"If you had gotten here earlier,"
he said to one of his students, "you
could have seen Niagara Falls in
operation."
This reserved but humorous
comment of Fabel's is typical of
his British character. He
was trying to make the best of a
situation where, by his estimation,
about 50 valuable books were
ruined. One of the books, a bound
copy of 1778 Universal Magazine,
was irreplaceable.
To a colleague, he said, "My
sins have caught up with me."
From the looks of the room,
maybe they had. Nevertheless,
sins or not, Fabel handled the
confusion as easily as if it were a
normal occurrence. He borrowed
another office, had his books
removed to another room and
gave his student her makeup test
while keeping a calm, even temper
the whole time.
Perhaps this reaction is an
inborn characteristic of Fabel,
perhaps it grew from British
environment or perhaps it deve­loped
in the army.
The son of a British army officer
and later one himself, Fabel has
lived in Sydney, Australia; Dur­ban,
South Africa; Hong Kong;
Egypt; and Cyprus. How, one
might ask, does a man living in the
center of such exciting places,
where violence could break out at
any moment, decide to settle in
Auburn, Ala., as a history profes­sor?
"Seeing so many historic sights
made me more aware that history
interested me," Fabel said. Then
he chose Cyprus as an example
and explained that it was the
product of combined Egyptian,
Greek, Roman, Venetian, Turkish
and British cultures.
'A catalyst for murder'

"A MAN OF A THOUSAND FACES"
.Bugliosi called Charles Manson an "evil genius"
By Lisa Rigsby
Plainsman Staff Writer
"He is an evil genius—a man of
a thousand faces, a comedian who
always changes to fit the occasion
of the person to whom he is
talking, and a man with an
extraordinary ability to detect and
exploit weaknesses and fears in
people."
That is how Vincent Bugliosi,
prosecutor for the trial that put
Charles Manson and four co-de­fendants
in the Tate-LaBianca
slayings in prison, described
Charles Mills (Willis) Manson.
Bugliosi is one of the outstanding
prosecutors in the Los Angeles
criminal courts. He had compiled
a record of 105 criminal convic­tions
out of 106 felony jury trials
before becoming involved with the
Manson case.
The Manson case, until 1972, was
the longest murder trial, lasting
nine and a-half months. It was the
most expensive criminal case,
costing one million dollars for the
first trial and a quarter of a
million for the second, and con­sists
of 28, 348 pages of transcript.
Manson was born in 1933 to a
mother who claimed she loved him
but "treated him as excess bag­gage,"
Bugliosi said. Manson's
mother served three years for
armed robbery, during which time
she tried to send him to foster
homes. Manson grew up for a
time with his aunt and uncle hi
Welling, W. Va., but they were
strict and religious and he ran
away countless times.
At age 12, Manson burglarized a
grocery store and at 13 he
committed armed robbery. In
March of 1967 Manson was re­leased
from Terminal Island,
though he begged authorities not
to release him. Bugliosi quoted
Manson as saying, "I do not want
to be released. The prison is my
home. I like it here. It is the only
home I have ever really had. I do
not want to go back on the
streets."
Bugliosi said he was sure that if
the authorities had not set Manson
free, 35 people would not now be in
their graves.
"These murders would have
never taken place had it not been
for Charles Manson," said Bugli­osi,
"even though I feel the ones
that actually killed had a pre-ex­isting
deep-seated hostility toward
society and even their parents,
and Manson was like a catalyst
that transmitted this pre-existing
hostility into violence and mur­der."
According to Bugliosi, "The
three most distinguishing charact­eristics
of the Manson murders
were: 1) Most of the killers were
young girls from fairly good
backgrounds, 2) Manson himself
did not participate in the murders,
he only ordered them, and 3) some
would not kill for him, they
stopped just short of murder."
"How did this little guy, Charles
Manson, 5 feet 2 inches tall, have
control over these people to
commit murders at his command,
even though he himself would not
step on a flower, genuinely loved
animals, and got angry at mem­bers
of the family if they killed a
rattlesnake," Bugliosi said.
Bugliosi described this control
as an ability to dominate human
beings very similar to Hitler's
control. (Manson called Hitler a
'tuned-in guy.')
"Manson had the raw material
to work with. He was looking for
followers and young people were
looking for a leader. "
His tutor at St. Johns College,
Oxford, was a veteran of World
War I. He advised Fabel, "Take
your commission before coming to
us."
Fabel did just that, becoming a
second lieutenant in the Royal
Artillery. He received his bache­lor's
and master's degrees from
Oxford. Then he taught in England
but was dissatisfied with English
texts on American history. So he
took an associate professorship at
Arkansas College for one year to
acquire enough perspective to
write his own text, an idea he has
not abandoned, especially for the
contemporary era.
While in Arkansas, he became
acquainted with Dr. Caine Camp­bell,
present dean of Auburn's
School of Arts and Sciences.
When Campbell, former dean of
Arkansas College's Social Sci­ences,
took his position at Auburn,
he invited Fabel to visit the
Auburn campus.
"I like the southern United
States," Fabel said in his very
British accent. "The people are
friendly and the sun shines a lot."
Then he explained that one day he
had left the snow and ice of an
English airfield and landed in the
sunshine of Egypt. He decided that
day he preferred a warm climate.
He came to Auburn in 1969 and
became a U.S. citizen. He received
his doctorate in 1974 and now
teaches contemporary and colo-

GUNMEN HOLD HOSTAGES - South Moluccan
militants with machine guns hold 105 children
and six teachers hostage in a village school in
riorthern Holland, while a second band of gun­men
hold about 50 persons on a train about 10
miles from the school. They have demanded the
release of 21 prisoners who have been held in
Holland as a result of the campaign for Inde­pendence

Moluccas—formerly the Spice Islands.
VORSTER PLEDGES INSURANCE - South Af­rican
Prime Minister John Vorster has pledged

Smith complies with any American-British plan
for setting up black rule in Rhodesia. The an­nouncement
came after two days of talks with
Vice President Walter F. Mondale on problems
in southern Africa.

MIL LIKELY-Former Nixon assistants H.R.
Haldeman and John Mitchell are nearing the
end of their rope in avoiding time in jail as the
U.S. Supreme Court refused to review their con­vections
for involvement in the Watergate affair
and the subsequent cover-up. John Erlichman, a
third conspirator, has already begun to serve
his term of 30 months to eight years although
appeals are still pending.
POT HAUL-The largest seizure of marijuana
ever in the United States has been made as
Federal agents, acting on a tip, discovered
smugglers unloading the haul in the Florida
Keys. The estimated 50 tons of weed has a street
value of $50 million.
LAETRILE TESTS UNDERWAY-The Nation­al
Cancer Institute is considering using Laetrile
in tests on humans to determine whether the
controversial drug is an effective cancer treat­ment.
Resulting from the legislative decisions in
fiVe states to legalize the drug made from apri­cot
seeds the FDA is reassessing its previous
opposition to volunteer testing.
GENERAL REMOVED-President Carter re­moved
Maj. Gen. John K. Singlaub as the U.S.

BANKRUPT COURTS?-Alabama Chief Jus­tice
C.C. Torbert has warned that the court sys­tem
in Alabama will be in serious financial
trouble within the next few weeks if the Legisla­ture
does not allocate more funds to the ailing
system. Presently the courts must operate on
revenue produced by the system along with
money allocated by the state but Torbert said it
is: not enough. He is asking the legislature to
remove the restriction so shutdown can be
avoided.
RATE HIKES-The energy cost adjustment for
the Alabama Power Company will be the big­gest
ever in June. Associate Public Service
Commissioner Jim Zeigler said customers will
pay a 24 per cent higher energy cost adjustment
than they did in May. Usage is expected to be up
37 per cent and a cost increase of 33 per cent for
all usage over 1,000 kwh will be imposed on
summer rates.
UTILITY FILIBUSTER-Just as leaders in the
Senate were directing Gov. George Wallace's
utility package toward passage, Sen. Oscar
Peden of Florence suddenly filibustered and Lt.
Gov. Jere Beasley banged an adjournment

firm to study the Alabama Power Company's
financial status and its justification for rate in­creases.

what it takes to do what
needs to be done here
and now."
Allen added that the
mayor and he had both
tried to get new leader­ship
in the police depart­ment.
On the similar charge
regarding the city at­torney,
Allen was less
forceful in his opinion.
He said Auburn At­torney
Arnold Umbach
was more competent that
the leadership in the po­lice
department, but that
he was still not satisfied
with his ability.
"I'd like to see a new
city attorney, but there is
nowhere near the weak­ness
there as in the case
of the police chief.
Allen, however, said he
knew of no action being
taken to remove City
Manager Earl Tisdale
from his position.
Allen also refuted Mor­gan's
claims that outside
forces and money had
been involved in any de­cisions.
Fabel

nial history, among
others. He particularly
likes contemporary his­tory
because it is con­stantly
changing and
challenging.
"He's a hard teacher,"
that student said. "I
liked him till his tests. I
found him very picky."
Yet another student,
majoring in political sci­ence,
said, "He has good
rapport with the stu­dents.
He definitely
knows his material. He
knows so much, but most
of what he knows is from
experience."
With intelligent eyes
hiding behind wire-framed
glasses, and usu­ally
dressed in a coat,
shirt, tie, solid pants and
smartly shined shoes,
Fabel does appear con­servative.
However, the
day after it snowed, he
was puffing on a knobby
Italian pipe and sitting
there in plaid pants with
a brown knit sweater
covering the collar of his
light blue shirt. He
presented a slightly dif­ferent
character from
the dedicated professor.
One of Fabel's favorite
pastimes is pipe smok­ing.
Once, when he was
11 or 12 years old, his
teenage brother was
growing tobacco in the
backyard. Fabel sneaked
into the yard "when he
wasn't around," took a
clay pipe and decided to
experiment. But the
tobacco wasn't cured, so
the flavor was extremely
strong. According to
Fabel, "I was thoroughly
sick."
That incident delayed
Fabel's love of pipes for
several years. Now,
however, he has pipes
from Denmark, Tanzania
and Holland. He meticu­lously
alternates his
pipes once every six
weeks so the flavor won't
go stale.
Another favorite of Fa­bel'
s is cricket, and he
enjoys watching his two
sons, ages 12 and 13, play
baseball. Yet he never
fails to note historical
significance. While
speaking of cricket, he
mentioned that it was
originally English and
became a permanent leg­acy
of colonization in the
West Indies, Pakistan
and India. Indeed, his
major interest is history,
in which his wife, a
nurse by profession, en­courages
and supports
him.
Fabel is constantly re­searching,
reading and
forming theories con­cerning
not only the past,
but the relevance of the
past upon the future. He
draws from his own wide
experiences and the ex­periences
of those before
him. These theories he
passes on to his students
and, he hopes, the future.
"I don't know what he
meant by outside
forces," Allen said. "If
he meant that we repre­sented
the people who
voted for us, I think that
is what we are supposed
to do.
"We don't get paid for
doing this, so I don't
know what money he was
referring to."
He said although the
mayor was supposed to
receive a salary, he had
rejected it so it could be
given back to the city
and to charities.
"If there has been
any money involved, I'd
like to know about it,"
Allen said.
He explained the prob­able
reason people linked
Hayhurst with himself so
often was because they
were good friends.
"We participate in a lot
of things together. I think
that is good."
Allen did not include
secret meetings as one of
these activities and said
he had never attended a
secret meeting.
Although he admitted
discussing what should
be done about Morgan's
statement with Hayhurst
and Davis, he did not
consider the event a se­cret
meeting.
"I consider it as just a
conversation between the
accused people," Allen
said. "I think a secret
meeting is where you are
trying to cover up or hide
something. We weren't."
Allen said he thought
Morgan had been encour­aged
and helped with his
statement by Council­man
James Earl Kenna-mer.
"Kennamer has been
antagonistic ever since
the election," said Allen.
Allen admitted that dif­ferences
of opinions had
existed between him and
the two councilmen about
various issues.
"Morgan is a stickler
for the letter of the law
as he understands it," he
said. "But he doesn't
understand it much of
the time. He's not a law­yer."
He said both Morgan
and Kennamer were too
concerned about setting
a precedent through one
decision that will have to
be adhered to in similar
cases that follow.
"A council doesn't
really have to follow a
precedent," said Allen.
"We are a Congress, not
a court."
Allen said he did not
think Morgan's state­ment
had lessened the
effectiveness of the coun­cil.
Hayhurst, however,
felt the accusations con­cerning
the rumored fire
strike had "kicked the
cooperation which was
growing between the
Mayor and the council
squarely in the teeth."
Allen said he could un­questionably
win a
slander suit concerning
the accusations, but he
had not yet decided
whether he would take
such action.
Concerning his plans,
Hayhurst said, "I am
aware that another
mayor recently took the
polygraph test, passed,
then quit. I will take the
test, pass, and not quit.
There is too much work
that needs to be accom­plished
in Auburn. I want
to get on with the busi­ness
at hand."

Thursday, May 26,1977 A-4
Cheaters
Everyone knows what cheating is—or do they? It seems the Student and
University Senates are having a difficult time concurring on certain issues
concerning a new honor code.
One discrepancy involves the inclusion of the phrase, "An Auburn student
shall not cheat nor tolerate those who do." Such an obvious rip-off from the
West Point honor code should be reworded if included. However, we feel
that it should be left out altogether, since it seems to imply a general mistrust
of the typical Auburn student that such a principle should be explicitly stated
rather than understood.
A second issue, which requires Auburn students to turn in their classmates
who are cheating, is almost asking for the impossible. Too much burden is
put on the student. Also, a perfectly honest student would be, at the least,
reluctant to "rat" on a friend or fellow student, and this is understandable.
The third point in question is that of prohibiting a student from
submitting a paper or work to more than one class without special permission
from the instructor. On this issue, we're going to change sides and agree with
the teacher's view, that any college student should be capable of doing the
required work in a course if he expects to receive a good grade or the benefit
of having taken the course.
Special permission from the instructor, even if obtained, should be
considered a cop-out. If this practice is used, no new knowledge is gained
and other students, who lack a suitable paper, would be doing an unfair load
of work.
Decisions on these points do not seem to be so complex or difficult to
deserve the excess time and conflicting attention they have received. Let's get
working on a compromise, so the honor code will be approved.
Our turn
The Plainsman apparently started a minor controversy last week with a
front-page story on an alleged cover-up within the city government of the
arrest of an Auburn professor. Mayor Donald Hayhurst, who according to the
story told police to keep the arrest quiet, called the story "Incredible" in a
front-page article in Sunday's Opelika-Auburn News. He denied the
allegation that he attempted to cover the story up from local news media, and
denied having said, "I don't want any more of my friends arrested," as he
was reported as saying in The Plainsman story.
We stand behind our story; so do the sources of the information used in
the article. The Opelika-Auburn News story quoted a radio dispatcher as
saying he was told not to release the information, though he said the mayor
had not told him so. However, other sources within the police department
contacted this week confirmed the facts in the story and are standing behind
their statements.
We have also been accused of embarrassing the professor involved. As we
explained last week, we think Dr. Glen Eaves was more a victim of over-eager
friends than anything else. If there had not been an attempt at covering the
incident up, most local media may have decided voluntarily not to print the
story. But a cover-up within the police department and city hall is news, and
we had an obligation to print it, or we would also have been guilty of
covering up. The incident itself was not really important, but its
consequences were. And we could not call ourselves a newspaper without
printing the news when we find it. It is not stubborn pride that motivates us
to print this kind of story or to stand behind it. It is from a sincere desire to
print the truth.
Farewell
The last Plainsman of the year is always a bittersweet occasion for the staff.
It's a relief to have completed this year's volume of The Plainsman, but we
also must say goodbye to our friends on the staff who will be graduating.
Christy Hudgins, this year's editor and a four-year veteran on the
newspaper, will be heading to Washington, D.C., to intern at the
Washington Post. Dan Doughtie, associate editor and another four-year vet,
is taking his camera and photographic experience to Norfolk, Va., to
internship. He'll be back at the end of the summer to graduate, along with
two other Plainsman old-timers, Susan Harrison and Gene Vandiver. Susan,
features editor who put together the "year in review" will be an intern in
Greenville, Ala., while "Gene-o" our sports editor, has dedicated himself to
the proposition of graduating this summer.
We'll miss these four staff members more than words can convey. They
joke about how badly they want to leave, and we joke about good riddance,
but the truth is that we'll hate to see them leave.
Starting June 23 will be the summer edition of The Plainsman, with Dick
Parker at the helm. Until then, good luck on your finals, and have a nice
summer, whether you spend it at home or on the Plains.

ACP-named best college weekly
God grant me the courage to change the
things I can change, the serenity to accept
those I cannot change, and the wisdom to
know the difference. But God, grant me
the courage not to give up on what I
think is right even though I think it is
hopeless. Chester Nimitz
There are a lot of needed changes at
Auburn which seem hopeless. Will
Auburn continue to be governed by a
Wallace-appointed Board of Trustees?
Will the Health Center continue to
neglect the gynecological needs of
women? How long will Auburn women
continue to receive abortions instead of
taking the Pill? And how long can a
University fail to face the reality of the
situation?
Will duburn always be more con­cerned
with the need to hush up any­thing
which may tarnish the Auburn
image? Will there ever be anyone in au­thority
concerned for the people of Au­burn—
for the needs of students and
faculty instead of preserving an image
that doesn't hold water now and probab­ly
never did?
I want to know the answer to what
former SGA President Buck Ruffin
asked: When will we have some
leadership? When will the University pay
Christy
Hudgins
more attention to its needs instead of
those alumni with a dollar or two in their
hands?
Auburn is static. Enrollment may be
climbing, but creative thought and
freedom of expression for professors and
students is stifled. It may not be a
matter, as it once was, of being fired for
saying something against the University.
But for anyone taking a controversial
stand there is always the possibility of
losing that next pay raise or finding that
tenure has been denied.
Some of Auburn's best professors and
administrators are talking about leaving,
and that's a shame, because they are
needed most. But maybe the problem
isn't Auburn's alone. Young people
with intelligence and talent are leaving
the state in ever-increasing numbers,
because Alabama has no place for people
like them—for people with a touch of
idealism, for people not afraid to speak
their minds, for those who won't cater to
the corruption and ineffectiveness associ­ated
with the State's administration.
It's hard to stand up for what you
believe in; it's damn hard. You can
expect criticism, even hatred from others.
You can expect something more,
tho"ugh. There is a certain satisfaction
which comes with being. *rae to
self—with saying those things you believe
need to be said.
And now that the year is coming to a
close I'm thanking God for granting me
the courage not to give up on what I
thought was right, though at times I
thought it was hopeless. There is so
much, so very much, at Auburn which
needs to be changed. Here's a prayer that
those students taking on the reigns for
next year will be more effective.
It's going to be difficult for me to
leave Auburn. There's so many things
left undone—like writing those columns
on people like David Housel, Dan
Nelson, Darlene Hunter, Charles Schroe-der,
Katharine Cater and others who have
done so much for Auburn. I suppose it's
. true that hindsight is 20-20 vision.
I loved Auburn too much though to let
the year go by without a healthy dose of
criticism. No, I do not believe George
{> \IVT /S WOT A DIPLOMA... |T$ -[He HELP WANTED APS /
Wallace is rotten to the core. But I do
not believe he should be our governor or
senator.
The health center has many wonderful
people employed—people who have
nursed me back to health when I almos
didn't make it throught the night. But I
do believe a gynecologist should be
added to the staff. I do believe birth
control should be prescribed. I do
believe better business practices there
could save the students money. And I do
believe one or two of the doctors are
incompetent.
As for President Harry Philpott, I
admire the man for his intelligence. I ad
mire his dedication in spite of his health
which appears to be taking its toll. More
often than not, we disagree, but I do not
believe there is any animosity between
us.
I've learned a lot from Auburn—both
good andbad. I've learned how admini­strators
will lie to keep their jobs, and
I've learned the meaning of ethics from
people such as Journalism Professor
Mickey Logue.
Auburn, I'm leaving but not as
cynic. I'm leaving with a belief in the
University, in its people, that there will
always be those not content with the sta­tus
quo...that there will always be those
with the gumption to improve Auburn
because they realize what a good place it
is.
We're takin' over!
As is tradition, this week's Plainsman
was put out by members of next year's
staff, as a way of giving them and you a
taste of what next year will be like.
Editorial board members for the
1977-78 Plainsman include John Carval­ho,
editor; Lisa Harris, managing editor;
Betsy Butgereit, associate editor; Lauren
Steele, news editor; Jackie Romine,
features editor and Brad Davis, sports
editor.
Other staff members include Rick
Harmon, entertainment editor; Margaret
Fuller, copy editor; Dewey English,
technical editor; Gordon Bugg, photo­graphic
editor and Hank Marshman,
assistant to the editor.
Business manager Burrell Wilson and
his advertising staff are responsible for
the ads in this week's paper. We hope
you like this preview of next year.
Attempting to set the record straight
Misconceptions, miscalculations, fal­lacies,
misunderstandings, false interpre­tations—
all of these abound today. So
do efforts to clarify or correct them.
Take, for example, former President
Richard M. Nixon. He has spent a good
deal of time trying to "set the record
straight" about Watergate through his
talks with David Frost.
At the risk of being ridiculed for my
always not-so-serious columns, here is my
attempt to set the record straight. I hope
it is more productive than his attempts
have been, and I hope I can leave more
gracefully than he did. We'll soon see.
First of all, it would not be a
misconjecture to say that I was graduating
as a "Miss." But, I prefer "Ms."
because as I heard one irrate female
pronounce, "I don't feel that I've
'Missed' anything." What brings on this
tirade? Well, many people (friends?)
have taken time lately to tell me that I
was graduating without my Mrs. degree,
as if I didn't know that.
I came for a B.A., not a Mrs. Al­though
for many years, I thought the two
necessarily went together, I see it's not
true, and I anticipate no nervous
Susan
Harrison
breakdowns. Maybe a few cold winter
nights, but no nervous breakdowns.
As for religion, I would like the record
to show that I don't think it necessitates
seclusion from the world or unquestion­ing
belief. One of my journalism
professors always reminds his classes: "If
your mother says she loves you, check it
out." You have the right, opportunity
and probably the ability to check these
things out. You're only cheating yourself
if you fail to do so.
Concerning school, there may be some
credence to the statement: "These are
the best years of your life." But, I also
believe a person determines, to a large
extent, just how good his life is. It takes
guts to be optimistic in a world darkened
by its unemployment rate, crime,
corruption and sometimes general confu­sion.
But you won't get in the history
books being gutless; you might not even
make it in the phone book.
I hope the record will show that the
majestic idea of having four seasons was a
landmark decision. I can't, and don't
want to, imagine 12 months of "football
season," or rain or hot weather or Spring
fever. The latter two together would be
my death. I already feel faint.
Just for the record, all Greeks don't
wear togas. Some wear Bobby Brooks,
m.a.l.e and johnathan logan. Others
wear garments from Sears, J.C. Penney
and Harriette's Hand-Me-Downs. My
point? Stereotypes provide just one mote
way of building walls instead of bridges.
If you're a Greek, it might profit you to
give an Independent a chance to come
across as a person. The opposite holds
true. In either case, both parries should
benefit.
My worldly experience has taught me
that there are some things people just
can't forgive you for. Certain ones come
to mind: not turning in a friend's
Forum card...breaking a date...resetting
someone's typewrittr margins...getting a
friend (?) a blind datc.decapiting your
roommate's plants with the Venetian
blinds...telling the truth.
Personal relationships require much
work, tact, honesty and concern. But I
don't advocate being a noncommittal,
always compromising person. Of course,
many people will love you this way; you
won't threaten them. But you will, or
should, hate yourself for it. Don't
exploit your right to be you; but,
likewise, don't deny yourself of it.
For future reference, a senior citizen
isn't hatched. He is an older you. Of
course, there's plenty of time to order
your false teeth. Speaking of time, most
. senior citizens have an abundance of it.
So what's that to you? Probably nothing,
and that's pretty sad. You may think so
too, one day.
Records certainly need to be straight­ened
out periodically, and here's my
attempt. For those of you who have
identified with nothing mentioned, I
have also learned that, despite popular
rumor, the plant Wandering Jew can be
killed...yogurt won't eat your insides (nor
will it improve your sex life)...being in
love can result in a loss of appetite...
Southern Belles are alive and very well.
So, here it is: everything you always
wanted to know about life, but were
afraid to ask or question. Eat your heart
out, Richard Nixon.
'After four years, I can write my farewell column'
One thing I have looked forward to for
four years was writing my farewell
column.
You know, telling about all the
famous people I've met over the years
like Bob Hope, Jack Anderson, Gene
Rodenberry, Leonard Nimoy, etc.
Or telling about the time the Tennes­see
football team trampled me into the
turf of Jordan-Hard Stadium on its way
to the locker room.
Or the time I happened to hurt my
shoulder in weight training and left early
for the infirmary. On the way I captured
the first streaker on film, a shot I consider
my most famous.
But I can't bring myself to bask in my
past hurrahs and defeats like I had
wanted to. The old stories are beginning
to fade. Working for four years on this
old rag can bring a lot of recognition
along with dreams of leaving a lasting
mark so people will remember you.
But when you finally leave, it dawns
on you that you are being replaced and
your name becomes a byline or a photo
credit turning yellow with age on a
rumpled Plainsman.
I had originally come to Auburn to
work on the Glom hoping to learn all
there was to color photography and por­traits.
But with great hindsight, I sat on
my glasses during drop-and-add and was
unable to focus a camera. The Glom told
TIC to come back later when my glasses
were fixed but suggested I try The
Plainsman.
I have been working every week since
then. I fit in quickly. I didn't see the
little clique that everyone had told me of.
Now I realize in my last days that the
Plainsman is a clique. But anyone can
join this little elite group. You just have
to fulfill a few requirements, like (1) skip
every other class to cover assignments,
Dan
Doughtie
catch up on missed sleep from the night
before or help meet deadline that week;
(2) give up taking dates to football
games, basketball games, concerts,
movies, etc., because of assignment con­flicts;
(3) watch the sunrise at 6 a.m.
(depending on the time of the year)
when you are walking home from an
all-nighter; (4) go to away sporting
events at your own expense because the
SGA won't allot you any money for travel
of Photographic Services complains to the
business office that you're doing their
job; (5) listen to the weekly threats of the
Rugby Club, debate team, women's
sports teams and every other group or
club you neglected that week; (6) fork
out $150 a quarter out of your own
pocket to buy things you need within the
hour but would take a month of purchase
orders and red tape to get; (7) get so tied
up that you don't call the girl you said
you would call who stayed in just to re­ceive
that call and now doesn't want to
see your face; (8) have a term paper due,
have four tests to take, take four photo
assignments, one story, stay up all night
Tuesday and come down with the flu all
in one week. You miss a photo assign­ment
and you are told you're not doing
your job.
There are a dozen more but my mind
can't think of any more because I am
suffering from requirements number 1
and 3.
It's been a long four years. It's been
four fun ones, four hard ones. I've been
pushed to the limit of my endurance and
back. One of the hardest times to cope
with was the loss of my father. During
that time I found who I could really turn
to in rimes of need. If if hadn't been for
David Housel and his guiding help I
might have given up.
I'll miss Housel. I'll miss him dressing
up every year as Santa Claus to pose for
his Christmas cards, him telling about
painting the railroad trestle in Gordo and
just sitting in his office shooting the
breeze over a cigar.
Well, it's rime to go. Gordon has
started to take down the stickers I had
placed on the darkroom door. My only
mark left in the Plainsman office is the
hole in the wall Steele Holman and I put
there last year while wrestling. I know
B&G will never fix it.
Goodbye, darkroom. I've spent the last
four years sitting in you, developing and
printing my Friday and Saturday nights
away when I could have been out doing
things students normally do. I had always
imagined my dream girl to come walking
through the revolving door. It never
turned.
Only one more weekend to go. I'
probably be down there staring at the
walls reminiscing one last time.
I didn't leave my mark. My name will
be nothing but symbols on magnetic tape
in a computer.
But 100 years from now when Samford
Tower is being replaced or rebuilt, a brick
mason will look up on the back of one
clock face and sec "Dan Doughtie, Photo

Election change needs action, not 'study'
^Letters Thurs., May 26, 1977 A-5
f Artwork deserves respect
hs an opportunity to learn'
pditor, The Plainsman:
In regard to the letter form Jack Early
vho was appalled at the recent display,
Lnd to the art students who replied with
"don't blame me" attitude; I would
like to say that the blame is on ignorance.
The topic of conflict seemed to be
vhat was referred to as a "running
tence." I personally interpreted that
Itructure as a very exciting sculptural
form. I believe that what the viewer was
| o see in the piece is not visible to the
laked eye. Whether it was painted or not
Is beside the point. It is not possible to
papture an idea and cover it with pigment
jfor all to see. There are, however, count­less
forms of expression all of which de­serves
respect if not understanding.
The fact that the structure caused such
conflict is my main concern. We are here
to learn, and only through expression of
pome sort can we share our ideas and
learn from one another. Of course, if ther
form of expression is not appreciated the
concept and the opportunity to learn are
lost.

I still think I have not Seen the campus

"It needs more study."
Sound familiar? That phrase has been
used many times by those who feel
threatened by the inevitable, and wish to
put it off. More recently, it has been
used by the Auburn City Council.
The issue which council members are
trying to put off is changing the voting
date of city elections. Currently, Auburn
residents vote for their city officials in
August, a time when most students and
many faculty members are not in town.
Dan Haygood, student liaison member
of the City Council, wants to change this
date to a time when more students will
be here. His response from the Council?
"It needs more study."
Maybe I'm not ' a political science
expert, but I fail to see that many
complexities behind changing the voting
date. It does not simply involve a City
Council Resolution, but on the other
hand it's not like a restructuring of city
government.
So, here is the study which has been
requested, with all the implications
involved included.
1. Why change the voting date?
Simple. Students are being disfranchised
by the August voting date. This
constitutes discrimination, and it is a
John
Carvalho
»
shame our City Council has not taken
prior action.
Students form a large part of the
Auburn population. It can be said
without exaggeration that we are the very
reason for this city's existence. Without
us, there would be no Auburn.
And it only seems logical that we
would be allowed to vote, right? Wrong.
With an August voting date, many
students can't vote. So, the students, the
industry of Auburn, are not allowed to
vote. It sounds almost absurd...it is.
2. What would be involved in getting
the election date changed? As far as I
can see, two steps would be necessary.
First, a city council resolution would be
passed. Second, the date change would
be brought before the state legislature for
approval.
While a City Council resolution is not
necessary, it is doubtful the state
legislature would approve the voting date
change without Council approval.
The next city elections are scheduled
for August of 1980, and if the City
Council were to send a resolution to next
year's legislative session, the change
could be enacted in plenty of time to let
people adjust, if indeed they have to at
all.
3. What would have to be done if the
voting date change was passed by the
legislature? This question may seem
complex, but like the others, the answer
is simple.
Voting dates, registration deadlines
and other relevant dates set up by the
county probate judge's office could
simply focus on the new voting date. I
foresee no difficulties in setting up city
elections in May as compared to August,
which leads to another question:
4. .What should the voting date be
changed to? Any date before June 1 and
after Sept. 30 would be fine with
students, but I feel that spring, particu­larly
May, would be a good time. The
University will have recovered from cam­pus
elections, the junk will be thrown
and it would be a prime time for a
city-wide campaign.
5. What would be the effects of
changing the voting date? The answer to
this question also explains the City
Council's reluctance to change the voting
date. The obvious result will be that
one, possibly two students will be elected
to the City Council.
Two students to represent a total of
17,000 students, with six other council-men
representing little more than half
that amount, and the Council is worried?
By rights they should be outraged, but
they're not.
So there you have it, Council: a study
of the effects of changing the voting
date. About the only unanswered
question is why you haven't acted on the
proposal yet. That, more than anything
else, "needs more study."

the case of the missing Kappas
Editor, The Plainsman:
This past week Glomeratas were distri­buted
to the student body and it is evi­dent
that this publication is the product
of a hard working staff. I am aware of the
time and effort that goes into the making
of such a publication, but I feel that a
closer inspection of its contents could
have and should have been made. Minor
typographical errors and such are to be
expected, but not misinformation, and
even worse, no information.
By this I am referring to the omission
of the pictures of 33 members from the
composite section of Kappa Kappa
Gamma sorority. This was quite a disap­pointment
to all individuals who were
excluded, from the section, not to men­tion
to the sorority as a whole. A reliable
source revealed to me that this was the
fault of the composite company because
they did not send the remaining pictures
before the required deadline.
Even so, I feel it was the responsibility
of the Glom staff to get in touch with the
company, or the sorority itself, and find
out the reason for delay. If nothing more,
the sorority may have been able to pro­vide
pictures for those missing.
As with all other organizations, sorori­ties
pay to be represented in the Glom.
Again, I was disappointed as only two
captions out of seven correctly identified
sisters in the candid shots. Being a ' 'pay­ing
customer" one would expect better
and more accurate coverage.
Nothing can be done about past mis­takes
and this letter was not intended to
criticize individual staff members. How­ever,
I do hope that in the future the
Glom staff as a whole will be more aware
of the need for accurate proofreading.

i
Are you doing what you want to do ?
I decided a few days ago to make a list
of everything I wanted to accomplish in
life. When I finished I noticed not a
single item had anything to do with
journalism. And I discovered the career
for which I've been training three years is
not what I want to be doing.
It's not that I don't like journalism.
It's exciting, sometimes frustrating,
sometimes rewarding, always interesting.
I just don't want to spend the rest of my
life doing it. It's not what gives me the
most fulfillment.
A problem with a lot of people is they
decide their careers on the basis of what
the job market is like or what their parent
wants. Their own desires, their inner
drives, have no bearing on their decision.
Others listen to people who say, "You
can't do what you want, you just have to
do what you can and try to survive."
It's this kind of attitude that leads to
alcoholism, ulcers and early suicides.
People lock themselves into unrewarding
jobs or careers that pay well and offer no
personal fulfillment. They become miser­ably
unhappy and forget, or never learn,
what joy there can be in life. They be­come
automatons, living only so they can
die a peaceful death and hope their chil­dren
will do better.
Of course, there are all sorts of variants
this theme, some extreme, some
noderate. But there are so many people
vho are simply not happy, they get stuck
in a rut in college, and never have the
courage to climb out.

People laugh at me when I tell them I
want to be a photographer but it doesn't
really bother me. People who get their
pleasure from laughing at other people's
dreams are really not worth listening to.
Dreaming is what it finally comes
down to. Those who are not afraid to
dream, who are not afraid to decide what
they want and to go after it, without
reservation, those are the ones who will
live rich and full lives and who will leave
their marks on the world.
I'm a dreamer, and sometimes it's
more frustrating than satisfying. But it is
the only way to be happy.
Editor, The Plainsman:
With the increasing traffic problems in
Auburn leading to congested streets and
shortages in parking facilities, the
automobile situation is at best gloomy.
Couple this with increased energy costs
and shortages in the years to come, and it
is needless to say the time has come for
residents of this community to consider
other forms of transportation.
Fortunately, however, the solution to
this problem is not as difficult as it may
seem. Being a unviversity town, with the
majority of the population living within a
few miles of campus, the encouragement
of bicycling would be a practical means of
transportation with overwhelming ad­vantages.
At the present time, bicycling is too
often neither safe nor an enjoyable
activity because of the total lack of
facilities for safe bicycle flow. The Wire
Road situation is a prime example. An
attempted bicycle ride down the road
quickly turns into a savage adventure of
College is really a bad place to decide
on a career. Students are very insulated;
often their only contact with the "real"
world is a job in town. They go to classes,
go out on weekends and live out the
entire educational process in an insulated
world, with no idea of what will happen
to them when they finish.
Universities make little effort to edu­cate
students in choosing compatible
careers and with coping with reality. In
some technical fields a student must in­tern
before graduating, but in many
liberal arts curricula a student gets a de­gree
without ever really getting any ex­perience.
And if later he decides that be­coming
an economist was a mistake,
often he can't, or won't, change.
It takes a lot of courage to change your
mind. Today, people are laughed at or
discouraged if they decide to change. The
housewife who goes back to school, the
executive who decides to become a
farmer, the new graduate who accepts a
low-paying job because he wants to—
they are looked on as some sort of eccen­tric,
as if there were something vaguely
wrong with wanting to be happy.
Not 'playing house'
'Home Ec education not limited to one area'
'Mr. Birdsong, look at all the facts'
Editor, The Plainsman:
I want to make explicit corrections to
Philip Birdsong's letter to the editor in
he May 19 Plainsman. Mr. Birdsong
jrges the readers to examine the facts
about nuclear power. Mr. Birdsong
xiticizes Plainsman columnist, Steve
smith of twisting the information of
David D. Comey's report on the
>robability of nuclear accidents.
Mr. Birdsong states in his letter that
his report in no way mentions any
atastrophic loss of life; merely a loss of
oolant. However, a careful reading of
he report reveals that Comey indicates a
atastrophic loss of life ranging from
900 deaths to 6,900 deaths, would
esult from a loss of coolant accident,
dr. Birdsong, I suggest you read the
port before you make further
omments.
Birdsong says that in order for terrorists
o make a bomb with nuclear fuel, it
would have to be processed and refined.
Birdsong writes, "If he (Smith) knows of
any terrorists with facilities, manpower,
and money to perform such refinements,
I wish he would tell me." Very well
then, I am telling you terrorists do not
need to refine the nuclear fuel them­selves.
All they need to do is steal it once
it has been processed and refined.
For instance, the Kerr-McGee nuclear
enrichment facility has already lost two
thousand pounds of processed and
refined bomb-grade nuclear material. It
is widely suspected that this is the work
of an international black market smug­gling
ring that is making and selling
crude atomic bombs.
Unfortunately, it is very easy to see
only the facts one wishes to see. I urge
you, Mr. Birdsong, to look at all the
facts.

in regard to "Home Ec students play

'Home management
course taught on sound
academic principles'
Editor, The Plainsman:
In regard to the article, "Home Ec
Students Play House," by Debbie White
in last week's Plainsman, I offer the
following comments and corrections.
Students who live in the Home
Management House do not "play
house." They integrate knowledge and
skills while operating in a controlled
environment. They coordinate theory
and practice in working their way
through problematic situations, both
planned and incidental.
The field of Home Management is a
theoretically structured disripline that is
taught nation-wide in schools of Home
Economics and is based on sound
academic principles.
The University does not return money
for weekend meals, but a portion of the
fees paid is returned to the students
because they perform their own services.

"pot-hole" dodging and near misses by
motorists traveling at speeds well in
excess of the unenforced speed limits.
How long before a serious accident occurs
is anyone's guess. With a little foresight
these conditions could easily be corrected.
The proposed widening of Wire Road
is welcomed improvement long overdue.
However, in widening this road the
future must not be ignored. Without the
addition of bicycle lanes, the traffic
problem will continue to grow to
paramount proportions in a relatively
short time. The inclusion of a bicycle
lane in conjunction with the widening of
Wire Road will be a giant step in
eliminating this problem and could serve
as a model for future construction of
bicycle lanes throughout the community.
The present safety hazard which exists
not only along Wire Road but also
throughout the campus and the city of
Auburn, is an issue which has provoked
both the interest of the bicyclist as well as
the scorn of the motorist. This is not an
issue which is willing to yield to the
argument of engineering problems or the
old standard "lack of funds."
Growing concern for the transportation
problem in Auburn was demonstrated by
a petition with more than 700 names
which was presented to the mayor during
the city council meeting on May 16th.
This appeal for bicycle lanes in
conjunction with the widening of Wire
Road received a favorable response.
Failure to alleviate this problem at the
present time would only demonstrate
irresponsibility on the part of our city
officials, campus administrators and both
residents and transients of the Aubijrn
area and their lack of foresight to the
difficulties this problem will present • in
the future. '•

Cohabitation a fad?
'Love relationship should not fall short of commitment -
Thursday, May 26,1977 A-6
'Lack of commitments
open floodgates to pain'
Editor, The Plainsman:
The article "Shaking up-Cohabitation
isn't a fad" struck an acrid cord when 1
read it. The article illustrated an example
of a lack of sincere and consistent com­mitment
in relationship today.
Commitments involve a two-way
street—where one receives, and more im­portantly,
where one gives. It is in the
receiving "What can I get out of this?"
attitude that is overwhelmingly empha­sized
in living together without being
married.
Without a defined and set under­standing
of the commitment involved,
and what it actually means to be living
together, the floodgates to being hurt are
opened wide, many times to a deep de­gree.
Ask the girl who said she
"wouldn'r live with anybody again with­out
being married" or the girl whose
boyfriend is planning on working over­seas
while she stays here.
From another point of view, when liv­ing
together is accepted, marriage is de­graded
because it basically becomes no
more than a piece of paper and possibly a
pretty ceremony. Nothing new has really
been added to what was there before. To
place marriage on this level is terrible,
especially in light of what God has in­tended
it to be.
We all have the tendency to want to
take the rights that are associated with
relationships, particularly in the case of
living together, but to leave behind the
responsibilities that have to be associated
with these rights. One without the other
produces chaos, a horrible picture of how
God intended relationships to be lived.
The reason for this tendency is that we
stand as sinful and rebellious creatures
before a pure and just God. The only way
to reverse this tendency is to turn back to
God through faith in Jesus Christ by ac­knowledging
our sin and placing our
trust and dependence on Him. If you
want to have really satisfying relation­ships,
they have to begin with a satisfying
relationship with Jesus Christ.
John M. Henderson III, 4AR
Editor, The Plainsman:
It depresses me very much to know
that I im not a member of the group,
that I'm not with it. However I would
like to make one "public outcry" to the
article on cohabitation which appeared
last week in The Plainsman.
This article seems to indicate that mar­riage
is second best, that two people
marry only when they are willing to give
up their freedom and individuality. I
have difficulty realizing what freedom
and individuality I have lost as a married
person. Is it freedom to go out drinking
with the boys? Is it freedom of sexual
communication? Freedom from responsi­bility?
Is the individuality lost—that of
making decisions without regard to the
effect on others?
I maintain that some of these freedoms
may be limited in any close relationship
one enters, and others may be continued
in even the deepest of relationships, such
as marriage.
'Assurance of salvation
comes from obedience'
Letters to the editor must be
received by 5 p.m. Monday at
The Plainsman office in the
Auburn Union basement.
Please type and double space,

Some form of identification

Editor, The Plainsman:
After surveying more than 600 stu­dents
here at Auburn and discovering
that more than 45 per cent are Baptists,
your article confirmed a suspicion I have
recently had. We may be in the Bible
Belt but the Bible condemns the very
lives of most of the population here.
Nearly half of the students here at
Auburn at one time in their lives have
prayed a prayer confessing their sins and
acknowledging their faith in Jesus,
thinking that by doing so they will go to
heaven.
However, Jesus says, "Not every one
that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall
enter into the kingdom of heaven; And
then will I profess unto them, I never
knew you: depart from me, ye that work
iniquity." (Matthew 7:21, 23) A man
may look religious but if he is not
obedient to Christ he cannot go to
heaven.
Ephesians 5: 3-5 clearly says that
adulterers and fornicators will not go to
heaven and I John 3:8 says, "He that
practices sin is of the devil;" and verse 9
says, "Whosoever is born of God doth
not practice sin."
How then can a man be assured of
salvation? Only by living a life of
obedience to Christ's commands! It is not
obedience that saves me but if a man is
truly saved he will obey. In Hebrews 8:10
it says, "I will put my laws into their
mind, and write them in their hearts,"
and Philippians 2:13 says, "For it is God
which worketh in you both to will and to
do of his good pleasure."
Jesus invades a man's life and gives
him a new nature; "Therefore if any
man be in Christ, he is a new creature;
old things are passed away: behold, all
things are become new." (II Corinthians
5:17) The new creature God makes has
new desires—desires to obey God. When
Jesus comes into your life He changes you
and gives you a new lifestyle.
If you do not have these new desires
but seek only to follow the lust of your
own flesh then "Examine yourselves, to
see if you are in the faith." (II
Corinthians 13:5) Search your life and
your lifestyle and give your life totally to
Jesus Christ, or else stop calling yourself a
Christian because the Bible does not
place any claim on you.
Gary Leath
The Navigator Representative
I obviously have not made an exhaus­tive
investigation of cohabitation. How­ever,
it seems to me that persons do not
have to live together to understand each
other's ideas about money, in-laws and
spiritual beliefs. These four areas of con­cern
normally account for most of the
disenchantment of a telationship, and
when the couple is married, may lead to
divorce.
If persons are too, immature to discuss
these areas with each other before making
a deep relationship, then the relationship
is made for the excitement and novelty it
may afford, and is almost destined to
fail. I believe the freedom most fre­quently
stated as not being attainable in
a mere dating relationship is the freedom
to sexually relate to one's partner without
being responsible to God, society, and
most important, to one's partner.
I believe that having sexual relations ii
too much of a loving, beautiful and
spiritual experience to be done on a trial
basis. The sex act cannot be fully experi­enced
if there is no commitment or sense
of responsibility to each other.
Thus, I believe that the major problem
associated with cohabitation is not that
stated by Poole and Parry, but is rather,
incompletely experiencing each other
fully. Being responsible to each other and
to God, in the sexual relationship and all
other areas of the couple's experience,
completes the relationship and anything
short of that is truly taking second best.
To me, cohabitation is not an accepta­ble
life-style. I wish everyone would dare
to hope for something more, for a com­plete
relationship with one they love.
Without proclaiming their commitment
to each other, a couple really never know
if their relationship would have worke
out. A love relationship should not b
rushed into, but neither should it fa
short of complete fulfillment.

Reader disputes acceptability
of cohabitation relationship
Editor, The Plainsman:
Penny Pool and Jane Parry's article on
cohabitation in the May 19 issue of The
Plainsman was informative in the sense
that it presented some views of those
people who prefer to live together for one
reason or another. However, the last
paragraph of the article is contradictory to
my views and to the views of other
people. The example given says that if
the "President-elect of the United States
and his wife appear on the same program
with a well-known singer...with her live-in
boyfriend without public outcry,"
then we can conclude that cohabitation is
a relatively acceptable lifestyle. This
example has nothing to do with the
acceptability of cohabitation since mos
people do not equate the moral values o
public figures simply because they appea
on the same program.
Cohabitation has never been and is no
now an acceptable lifesryle if a persoi
believes in the institution of marriag
and that a marriage is sacred and exist
for a lifetime. Society is certain!
becoming a loser and more open system
but a limit has to be put on the mora
decay of the nation, and cohabitation i
not a legal or moral way to solve th
problems of people who are seeking ai
answer to their indecisiveness abou
marriage.

Had Juan Ponce de Leon landed in Florida on a
spring day in 1977, some 450 years later than he did,
he may have found his fountain of youth just south of
St. Augustine, in the form of beer, buffalo (a form of
liquor and punch) and sex.
Daytona Beach overflows with an estimated 500,000
young people during the seven-week spring-break
period. These tourists, largely consisting of college
students, travel from as far north as Canada and as
far west as California for their holiday.
Why do they do it? What is the charisma that draws
this annual migration south?
Some feel it is the sun, the beer or the fun of
meeting people. With schoolbooks, restrictions, jobs
and other obligations behind, the youths saturate the
beach.
Wall-to-wall hotels on the ocean front boast
beachside bars, rock bands and evenings of
enchanted entertainment. Their pools are jammed
with bikini-clad coeds, tanned with tropical oils from
the numerous poolside vendors.
But Daytona Beach also appeals to the young at
heart. One elderly couple from Michigan said they
haven't missed a spring break in nine years. Their
reason?
"We just love the kids! The atmosphere here is so
refreshing and invigorating. It makes us feel young
again."

A survey questioning
Auburn Students' opin­ions
regarding priori­ties
of certain SGA pro­jects
will be conducted
by the SGA next week.
'' Student government
is the students' and they
should be the deciding
factor," said Gene Os­walt,
administrative vice
president of the SGA.
"How can we know what
they want, except by a
listing of priorities?"
Surveyed students will
indicate their priorities
in each of the five SGA
departments: Academic
Policies, Student Rights,
Student Welfare, Politi­cal
Affairs and Public
Relations.
This procedure will
allow a student to rate
specific areas of a de­partment
such as the
library system, the four-point
grading system and
other educational mat­ters
under the Academic
Policies Department.
Oswalt hopes this sur­vey
will alleviate some
criticisms of the SGA.
"Using this survey will
be a valid tool for policy
direction and improve­ment
of the SGA," he
said. "We're trying to
give students a hand —
give them direction as to
what to do and give them
a chance to speak their
mind."
Oswalt and Director of
Student Opinion Surveys
Hugh Wood expect to
have the completed re­sults
of the survey by the
beginning of summer
quarter.
Whatever the reason for the widespread attraction
to this beach area, these young people do shed their
inhibitions and apparently play a mating "dating"
game.
As one 20-year-old Minnesota woman put it,
"You're in Daytona Beach. You can act like an
animal. You'll never see any of these guys again."
To further prove the mass anonymity, several
young women entertained the rambunctious and
appreciative male audience at the International Hotel
one afternoon by giving a strip show from their third
floor balcony. The women flashed their bathrobes
open and closed until the cheering crowd encouraged
them to take it all off.
The popularity of balconies continues. One hotel
pool manager said several Canadian coeds used
glasses of buffalo punch to bribe a friend to dive from
their fourth story balcony into the pool. The young
man made his spectacular dive with an added
attraction; he was bottomless and promptly arrested
by city police after his performance.
"To meet people, you do things you would normally
not do," said a 19-year-old Auburn coed. "You get
attention from so many guys. It's all an ego trip."
Two University of Georgia men said that they were
looking for a nice woman interested in sharing their
company for an evening — or several days.
One muscular man from Toleda, Ohio, claimed he
was a New York Jet football player to attract the
attention of some women at the Riveria Hotel. After
several days of signing numerous autographs and
posing for pictures, an informer squealed that this
young man in actuality played basketball for a small
junior college in Ohio.
An added attraction is Daytona Beach's 23-mile
long strip of white sand open to automobile traffic.
Cruising up and down the beach is as popular as the
frisbee, football and volleyball games being played
on it.
Rock music blares from privately-owned stereos,
car radios and outdoor bands, almost drowning the
sounds of the Atlantic's crashing waves.
Hotel managers frantically try to keep stringent
rules concerning their hotel guest policies. Most
college students sleep from two to 20 people in a room
in order to cut expanses.
During the spring break, hundreds of men are
recruited to aid the Daytona Beach Police Depart­ment
in their desperate attempt to control these
fun-loving youths. City law now states that any
person who steps off private property onto the street
or beach with an alcoholic beverage will be arrested
and held in jail until paying a $32 fine. Many students
get arrested, a sobering experience to some but to
others merely another exciting tale to take back
home.
"At least I'll never forget this spring break," said a
21-year-old University of Georgia male after
spending 24 hours in jail. His companion, a
sandy-haired coed, then grinned. "You know, it was
the only decent night's sleep I had."
Thus the young get happy and the old feel young . . .
for a while anyway. Ponce de Leon might have been
ecstatic to find Daytona Beach in the springtime.

WORTH THE WAIT...

"The Duchess and the
Dirtwater Fox," a comic
western, is this week's
UPC free movie.
The film will be shown
Thursday at 8 p.m. and
Friday, Saturday and
Sunday at 7 and 9:15 p.m.
in Langdon Hall. An
Auburn I.D. is required
for admission.
"The Duchess and the
Dirtwater Fox" was pro­duced,
directed and par­tially
written by Melvin
Frank. It is his 33rd
film.
The movie stars
George Segal as the Dirt­water
Fox, a clumsy
card sharp, and Goldie
Hawn as a somewhat
reformed hooker.
The plot involves Se­gal's
numerous attempts
to escape a gang of
desperado ruffians he
has cheated of loot pro­cured
in a bank robbery.
Segal becomes in­volved
with Hawn when
he uses her to transport
the loot unknowingly.
Hawn, who is not above a
little larceny herself,
tries to separate a rich
Mormon from a portion
of his fortune, while
Segal goes through sev­eral
misadventures,
mostly at card tables.
The pair of lovable
crooks are separated and
reunited and form a close
bond, brought on by their
near escapes from death.
Jack Kroll, writing in
"Newsweek," described
George Segal's portrayal
of the Dirtwater Fox as
"a garishly tailored mix­ture
of con man and
klutz." He went on to
say that, "Goldie Hawn
is a natural comedienne,
she splendidly updates
the mythic figure of the
dizzy blonde."
Jay Cocks, writing in
"Time" magazine, de­scribed
the plot of "The
Duchess and the Dirt­water
Fox" as "enervat­ing
to recount and excru­ciating
to sit through."
Cocks seemed to feel
this type of film, where
Hollywood has taken the
liberty to write gags intc
an Old West setting, has
been driven into the
ground by the films of
Burt reynolds, whose
plots this movie re­sembles.
"The Duchess and the
Dirtwater Fox" was co-written
by Barry Sandler
and Jack Rose. The film
contains several chase
scenes which are played
thoroughly for their
comic value.
Goldie Hawn handles
herself extremely well in
scenes where she has to
sing and dance. Despite
the flaws which Cocks of
"Time" pointed out, the
film is worth seeing if
only for Ms. Hawn's
shapely legs.

Pete Nice, 2GJM, and
Anthony Crawford, a vi­siting
musician from Bir­mingham,
closed this
quarter's entertainment
in the Kitchen Tuesday
night.
The guitar-playing duo
mixed a selection of
popular songs by Jimmy
Buffet, the Eagles, John
Denver and others with a
nice selection of original
material.
According to Nice, they
include a lot of their own
songs in the act because
"that's really the only
way you're going to get
known."
He knew they might be
taking a risk doing that
Tuesday night, but it was
a risk which seemed to
satisfy the audience's ap­petite
for well-written
and performed music.
From a crowd that's
usually pretty tough to
please, Nice and Craw­ford
received an unpre­cedented
standing ova­tion.

Glomerata is 'way yearbook supposed to be'
The Glomerata was a
week late this year, but
the result seems to have
been worth the wait.
There are plenty of
compliments I could give
the 1977 yearbook, but
probably the biggest one
is that this year for the
first time ever, I bought
a plastic cover for it.
Gone are the dusty,
scratched pictures which
marred the annuals of
three or four years ago.
The photography has
grown more perfection-istic
each year and this
year the content has even
improved.
Though I still detest
having that many beauty
pictures in the book, I
have to admit that the
ones taken this year in an
ad style format were the
best I have ever seen in
the Glomerata or any
other yearbook.
I also liked the way the
Greek section got away
from the Group shots
which crammed so many
people into one picture
that everyone looked like
Vets operate Dogpatch '77,
bluegrass festival Saturday
Omega Tau Sigma, the
veterinary fraternity,
will be presenting their
annual Dogpatch 77
Bluegrass Festival Sat­urday
from 10 a.m. to 10
p.m.
The festival will be
held off Wire Road
across from the Veterin­ary
School. Admission
will be $3 per person with
children under 12 admit­ted
free.
Music will be provided
by six well-known
southern Bluegrass
bands: The Grossman
Brothers and Buck
Creek, two local groups;
The Rainbow Band from
Tallahassee, Fla.; Touch
of Blue Grass from Mont­gomery
; Marshgrass
and Leather Britches,
both Atlanta bands.
Also on the agenda will
be a "clogging" contest
and a skydiving exhibi­tion.
Barbecue dinners
will be available through­out
the day and a show­ing
of local arts and
crafts will be presented.
indistinguishable pin-heads.
This year the
Glomerata scrapped
these and substituted
shots of activities the
fraternities and sorori­ties
carried on.
The copy was also
greatly improved over
last year.
Another marked im­provement
over last
year's book was the
graphics. I was told the
Glomerata staff bor­rowed
a special device to
mix the colors the exact
shade they wanted them.
Whatever they did it
worked. The graphics in
this year's book added
immensely to its overall
beauty, and helped make
this the best Glomerata I
have seen.
It is true I have seen
errors in this book, and I
have seen self-appointed
copy editors sadly shak­ing
their heads as they
turned the pages. Most of
the mistakes I have seen
in the book have been
shown to me by the Glom
staff.
There are mistakes in
this book, as in any other
Glomerata you have
seen, or any other year
book of its size. There
even were one or two bad
pictures, but none of this
really matters.
Because, as my plastic
cover testifies, this years
Glomerata is a book
worth keeping: a book
that you can pull out
when you are older and
laugh and cry and re­member.
That's what a
yearbook is supposed to
be.

'Chords of Fame' preserves Och's idealism
If you were raised in
the B.D. era (before
disco) and are idealistic
enough to believe an
album's lyrics should be
intelligible and maybe
even meaningful, PHIL
OCHS: CHORDS OF
FAME is the album for
you.
Phil Ochs was a leader
of the protest movement
in the '60s and a contem­porary
of Bob Dylan, but
unlike Dylan, Ochs be­lieved
in the protest song
long after its fad, like
popularity, had faded.
All this is somewhat
interesting, but hardly
impressive.
Och's two record set is
impressive. Unlike some
carefully textured al­bums,
where the artist
sees how many electrical
gizmos he can fit into
each track while the
listener tries to distin­guish
the artists from the
gizmos, on Ochs' album
you can hear actual feel­ing
and emotion.
You can hear a young
man trying to change
society with beautiful
and sometimes hilarious­ly
satirical verses point­ing
out its problems.
You can hear an idealist
who continued to sing
about problems even
though he knew people
had quit listening. You
can hear a disillusioned
rebel who finally killed
himself when he realized
he could not correct soci­ety's
wrongs.
- Ochs' album is any­thing
but carefully tex­tured.
Like Dylan, Ochs
is not exactly a Segovia
on the guitar, and the first
album of the set also
suffers from some rough
production.
But it doesn't matter.
If anything, the poor pro­duction
may even help.
For the Ochs that should
be remembered is the
man with a guitar stand­ing
on a street corner
singing what he felt, not
a studio musician.
The first songs of the
album give us the man
singing protests on the
corner. The songs are
from the '60s: songs of
protest, when songs of
protest were the popular
thing to sing.
The songs are about
Vietnam and range from
the angry protest of "I
Ain't Gonna March Any
More," to the humor of
"Draft Dodger Rag."
The former has lines
like "Always the old who
lead us to the war,
Always the young to fall,
Look at all we've won
with a sabre and a gun,
Tell me is it worth it
all."
"Draft Dodger Rag" a
song supposedly sung by
a draftee to the draft
board is hilarious with
lyrics like "I'm only 18,
I've got a ruptured
spleen, I always carry a
purse. I've got eyes like
a bat, my feet are flat
and my asthma's get­ting
worse."
Although the songs are
good, the cuts from the
later stages of Ochs'
career are the ones that
give us insight into the
performer. By 1968 Ochs
had realized that the
youth rebellion was over,
as evidenced by his song
"Outside of a Small
Circle of Friends."
The song is hilarious,
yet saddening for its
truthfulness. In a time
when any statement
about apathy almost
seems to be a cliche, it is
strange that Ochs could
write a song about it
that's both amusing and
moving.
The song is sung to a
rinky-tink piano, which
tends to accentuate the
smoothness of Ochs'
voice. One of the verses
goes "Smoking mari­juana
is more fun than
drinking beers, but a
friend of ours was capt-tured
and they gave him
30 years, maybe we
should raise our voices
ask somebody why, but
demonstrations are a
drag, besides I'm much
too high." As verses
about rapes, ghettos,
etc., are sung, each is
followed by the biting
refrain, "But I'm sure it
wouldn't interest any­body
outside of a small
circle of friends."
Although Ochs knew
everyone had quit pro­testing,
he refused to quit
and continued to write
songs like "Here's to the
State of Richard Nixon."
In 1974 his satire is just
as sharp as ever.
On one of the verses he
sings "Here's to the laws
of Richard Nixon where
wars are fought in
secret, Pearl Harbor
everyday. He punishes
with income tax that he
don't have to pay and
he's taping his own
brother just to hear what
he would say; Oh,
corruption can be classic
in the Richard Nixon
way."
The final song of the
album is entitled aptly
enough "No More
Songs." The title is apt
not only because it de­scribes
the last song of
the album, but more
importantly because it
describes the end of
Ochs' career.
The song tells how
Ochs gradually lost his
idealism and his faith
that society could be
changed. Until finally he
could not believe in the
songs that he wrote.
The song opens with
Ochs apologizing for los­ing
his rebellion • to the
protestors, who had de­serted
him. "Hello, hel­lo,
is anybody home, I
only called to say I was
sorry." With this said he
goes on to explain his
disillusionment.

Recently there was a

praise. No matter what
they said, no more suit­able

flattering than the songs
that Ochs himself wrote

Addiction to table sugar begins in infancy
By Keith Jung
Plainsman Staff Writer
Addiction to C12H22011
(table sugar) begins as
early as infancy and
continues for a lifetime
until a habit of about 85
pounds a year is estab­lished.
From baby food
to dipped crackers and
breakfast cereal to mid­night
snacks, sugar is t he
largest ingredient in the
America diet.
An independent re­search
group, World-watch
Institute, con­cluded
in a study that
"health problems other
than tooth decay have
apparently grown along
with the worltTs sweet
tooth. High sugar intake
is linked by many to
diabetes and other dis -
e a s e s ."
•
The study points out
that the affluent diet,
characterized by a high­er
intake of fats and
sugar and a lower con­sumption
of starch, bulky
foods and fiber has
spread in direct propor­tion
to previously uncom­mon
diseases: heart

According to Dr. Pi-

says that upon diges­tion,
starches break
down uniformly into glu­cose
molecules so rapid

and fructose which is

Into the bloodstream.

These unrefined starches
compared with table su­gar
demand less of the
digestive system. Sugar
lacks vitamins, minerals
or fiber and the body
therefore depletes its
own reserve of minerals
and enzymes in order to
properly metabolize the
substance. This is the
reason sugar is referred
to a s "empty calories."
Sugar and salt behave
similarly when placed on
a wound; there is pain
due to the osmosis which
takes place. The inner
lining of a stomach re­acts
in a similar fashion.
An interesting trend
has been noticed in the
increase of high fat de­posits
in the a r t e r i e s of
soldiers killed in Korea
and Vietnam. This cor­responds
to the 50 per
cent increase in world­wide
sugar consumption
in the last 30 years.
Dr. Alan C. Levin of
New York Institute for
Child Development has
approached the problem
of hyperactive children
with a glucose tolerance
test. Quick to point out
that sugar is not the sole
cause of irritability, hy­peractivity,
shouting and
fighting, he said out of
300 children, 80 p e r cent
toned down after being
placed on low sugar and
high-protein diets.
A few tips to follow if
you a r e concerned about
your sugar consumption
a r e : 1) Eliminate the
obvious (bakery items,
candies, sweet drinks);
2) Eat fresh fruit for
snacks instead of candy
bars—fruits are not only
a source of sugar, but
also bulk; 3) Read
package labels.

STRUTTING THEIR STUFF
.AU Singers will present their show in Europe this summer
Staff Photo <
uburn Singers to tour Europe
\s part of cultural exchange
By Dave White
Asst. Entertainment
Editor
Small talk fills the
leeting room. Soon, an
L2-piece back-up band
starts up an infectious
phythni.
Suddenly, 32 students
blad in bright blue and
orange outfits burst out
^miling and heartily
greeting their audience,
ley pour down the
lisles, hop up on plat­forms,
start singing and
lother fast-paced Sing­ers
show begins.
The Auburn University
Singers, Auburn's show
thoir, blends band, dance
ind choral work together
yhile performing show
tunes, spirituals, rag-
Lime, country and pop
pongs.
The Singers perform
aften for groups on cam­pus
and social and mus­ical
events around Ala-sama
and Georgia, serv-lg
as a public relations
jnit from Auburn Uni­versity.
This summer, the Sing­ers
will jet to Poland and
the Soviet Union on a
three-week performing
lour, sponsored by
friendship Ambassa­dors,
a non-profit organ­ization
promoting cultur­al
exchange between
lerica and eastern Eu-jpe.
Whether in Moscow or
kuburn, though, the Sing-srs
radiate the same
lpbeat musical message.
"As performers, we
/ant to entertain our
ludience," said Dr.
Thomas R. Smith, Sing-
|ers director and director
if choral activities at
lAuburn.
'We choose pieces that
ippeal to as many types
jf people as possible,"
|said Smith. "Most of our
programs would appeal
Ito a junior high student
|as well as an adult."
Songs like "Mr. Bo-
Ijangles," "Oh, Susan-
|na " and "Color My
/orld" complement and
contrast with each other
in the Singers' program.
Smith and Dale Farmer,
6SMU, assistant director
of the Singers, develop
the song order.
According to Smith,
most of the group's ar­rangements
are fairly
simple, allowing the
Singers to concentrate on
motions and dancing.
About half are stock-published
arrangements
and half are written by
Smith and others in the
group.
"We can pretty well
sight read all the songs
we do," said Smith, "and
then work on polishing
and memorizing them."
About half the Singers
are music majors. Most
are past or present mem­bers
of the Concert
Choir.
In Singers auditions,
Smith said he looked for
confidence, a good voice
projecting quality and an
ability to "facially sell a
song," not necessarily
great solo ability.
He said a Singer has to
have coordination too, to
cope with the group's
choreography, the dance
routines, body motions
and positions that "com­plement
the musical as­pects"
of each show.
Occassionally Smith or
his wife Gayle work on
the choreography, but at
times students get to­gether
to work out the
routines.
"It's gotten easier over
the years," said Smith, a
smile spreading over his
face. "The first year, it
took all quarter to chore­ograph
two pieces. Now,
we can get most anything
down in three or four
rehearsals."
Smith is proud of the
'76-'77 Singers. "I think
this is probably the best
group we've had," he
said, "not just with
music and choreography,
but with the type of
relationship we have in
the group—a feeling of
unity, of working for a
common goal.
The Singers will leave
on one of their common
on one of their common
goals, the Poland-Soviet
Union trip, on June 9 and
return June 30.
Leaving from Colum­bus
to New York to
Warsaw, the Singers will
spend three or four days
in Poland before visiting
Moscow, Leningrad,
Tskov and other Russian
cities for 10 days. They'll
return to Poland for four
days and then return to
the United States.
The Singers were invit­ed
to tour by Friendship
Ambassadors partly be­cause
of the success of
the Singers' tour of Ro­mania
in August, 1974.
"Concert halls were
completely filled, with
people standing in the
aisles. They were so
appr e ciative," said
Smith. "They'd continue
the European applause
and wouldn't let us con­tinue
till we did a num­ber
again."
The Singers will pre­sent
the European show
Saturday at 8 p.m. and
Sunday at 3 p.m. in
Telfair Peet Theatre.
Tickets for the benefit
concerts are $2 and are
available from Singers
members and the Good­win
Music Building.

Mentor
Faculty helps freshmen adjust to campus
The new Mentor Pro­gram,
started last fall for
helping freshmen adapt
to their educational sur­roundings,
has been
termed successful by fac­ulty
leaders in the pro­gram
and is expected to
be repeated.
Rollin S. Armour, head
of the committee which
selects the faculty and
the guidelines for the
program, said he be­lieves
the program is
very important in "pro­viding
support for fresh­man
by helping them
adjust to their new envi­ronment."
The formal evaluation
of the program is now
being conducted and
should be released dur­ing
spring quarter. This
evaluation, according to
Armour, will determine
its exact success and how
it can be improved.
Armour said the Uni­versity
did not need a
"mentor" program
many years ago because
it was small enough to
keep in touch with the
students. "But with
17,000 students it is im­possible
to keep the stu­dent
on a personal
basis."
The program involves
five hours of academic
credit for three quarters
of study. In the fall, one
faculty member and 12
students meet once a
week and discuss such
subjects as study habits
and ways of finding re­sources
in the Uni­versity.
In addition to the one
hour credit given for the
meetings, the students
are able to get a better
personal relationship
with the teacher and
other students.
John Cook, 1PL, said
"it is the only class
where I've gotten to
know someone on a per­sonal
basis. It is not like
your typically over­crowded
freshman class.
It only has 12 people in it
which makes it more
convenient."
The official title is
Mentor Interdisciplinary
Program, and it deals
only with freshmen.
About 175 persons were
selected at random for
the program last fall and
150 were accepted.
During winter quarter
the program consists of
interdisciplinary sem­inars
and carries three
hours credit. In spring,
the fall meeting plan is
followed and one hour
credit is received.
The new program is
directed by Marllin Si­mon,
assistant professor
of physics.
The committee headed
by Armour, the Commit­tee
on Institutional Re­newal
through the Im­provement
of Teaching,
selected 12 teachers or
mentors from the six
schools at Auburn.
In addition to the class­room
lectures there are
other activities such as
an outside lecture on
social activities.
The seminars are de­signed
on a letter grade
basis and the Mentor pro­grams
are graded pass-fail.
One extra benefit of the
program is the faculty of
the different schools can
work closer together
much the same way as
students.
Armour said he has
received positive feed­back
on the program and
requests from the Board
of Regents of the State of
Florida for information
on the program and to
delive a paper on the
program for the Associa­tion
of Higher Education.
One example of the
classes being taught is
"Sexuality and Human
Values," which is a sem­inar
taught by Armour
and Mary Lou McEwen,
of the counselor educa­tion
department.
He specifically pointed
out one such project
currently being devel­oped
which should be
ready by next year. The
project is based on the
"Bronowshi Series"
which involves science,
history and other aspects
of human culture.
The course will consist
of the film series, "As­cent
of Man" and other
class readings.
Armour said, the pro­ject
is still undergoing
changes and corrections
and the final completion
date is not known.

Freshmen show desire
for engineer in g co urses
Nearly half of this
year's freshman class
plan to enter fields in
engineering, business or
the health professions.
These choices corres­pond
closely with the
fields the students ex­pected
to enter when
polled as high school
seniors, Dr. Gerald Lei-schuck,
director of Insti­tutional
