AU fan dies
Auburn lost a great friend last Thursday when Dr.
Jesse Miller of Alex City died of a heart attack during
the Auburn-Birmingham Southern baseball game.
Miller was instrumental in obtaining new dugouts,
microphones and alumninum bleachers for the
baseball team. Attending almost all of Auburn's home
games, Miller was one of Auburn's staunchest
supporters. "The measure of Dr. Miller's worth to the
University could hardly be put into words," a
spokesman for the Athletic Department said. "He was
a great man and a great friend to the University."

Several Auburn property mana­gers
have sent a letter to the SGA
Election Board stating campaign
restrictions they plan to enforce in
future student elections.
The restrictions will abolish
door-to-door campaigning, leaflets
left on automobiles or apartment
doors and limit the placement of
large signs.
The letter says, "Because of the
large amount of trash the posters
and leaflets create and the large
amount of complaints the door-to-door
campaigning causes, we feel
we can no longer allow this sort of
campaigning to continue."
"We hope they understand that
this is not saying we hope they will
do it," said Bonny Miller, organ­izer
of the letter. "This is saving
this is it. They don't have a
choice."
Jeff Stone, SGA president, said
the letter was received Tuesday University left without budget

The regular session of the Ala­bama
Legislature ended April 24,
and at the stroke of midnight,
Auburn and other academic insti­tutions
across the state found
themselves without funding for the
next school year.
The $1.1 billion school appropria­tion
bill was passed and reported
out of the Senate at 11 p.m., leaving
only one hour for the House to
concur with the more than 40
amendments added to the bill.
With only minutes left in which to
study the bill, the House turned it
down.
Gov. George C. Wallace request­ed
over $52.7 million for AU's
operation and maintenance in the
education bill. In another measure,
a $200 million bond issue, Wallace
recommended that $8.5 million be
allotted to Auburn for capital im­provements,
but both died during
the legislative session.
Auburn has planned numerous
capital improvements for the com­ing
year including a nursing
school, a center for vocational
teacher education, energy re­search,
new engineering facilities
and relocation of the Physical
Plant to the outskirts of campus.
Dr. Ben Lanham, vice president
of administration said, "The fail­ure
to pass an appropriations bill
and failure to do anything about
capital improvements will serious­ly
affect us in our plans for next
year.
"In addition to affecting capital
improvements and planning bud­gets,
it will affect us in recruiting
new faculty and holding present
faculty members who may be
dissatisfied with the current situa­tion,"
he said.
Herb White, director of Uni­versity
Relations and Auburn's
Iobbiest at the Capitol, said the
proposed nursing school was the
capital improvement most ad­versely
affected by the bond issue's
rejection.
In order to establish a school of
nursing, a dean and staff must be
employed and develop a program a
year prior to accepting the first
nursing class. The University is
anticipating accepting the first
nursing class in 1979.
White also said the delay in
recruiting new faculty members
may force next year's classes to be
larger. An estimated enrollment of
18,300 is anticipated for the 1978-79
school year.
Lanham said the administration
has begun working on a tentative
operational budget which would
carry the existing programs
through "day by day, week by
week." The budget will be reported
in three weeks to a month, Lanham
said.
A tenative capital improvements
budget will also be drawn up,
Lanham said. It will omit expendi­ture
details concerning the engin­eering
and vocational facilities
because costly equipment prices
should not be estimated, he said.
"We will develop these plans so
we don't lose time once the money
comes in," he said.
White said it was "disgraceful"
for the Legislature to work since
January 10 and not approve the
school bills.
He attributed part of the stagna­tion
to the conflicts of interest
arising from the legislative session
being held during an election year.
The majority of the legislators are
running for re-election or seeking
higher office.
A special legislative session is
necessary if public schools are to
open this fall. The session, a
tremendous expense to taxpayers,
has not yet been scheduled. But
Monday, Wallace said he will draw
up his own education budget and
ask legislative leaders for some
indication of their support before
calling the lawmakers back into
session.
and meetings will be held early
next weekend to discuss it.
Stone said the letter didn't really
surprise the SGA, but "I was kind
of surprised by the force behind it,
and the number of apartments that
had signed it. It was most of the
major apartments in Auburn."
The signees were:
—Mrs. Huey, property manager
for DWH Enterprises which
handles Hyatt House Apartments;
—Ms. Drenda Hill, resident
manager for Tamarack Apart­ments;
—Mr. Charles Saliba, property
manager for Lowder Associates
which handles Plainsman Apart­ments,
Patio Apartments and
Cabana Apartments;
—Mrs. Vivian Garner, property
manager for Evans Realty which
handles LeMans Apartments,
Chateau Apartments, Arcadia
Apartments, H and A Apartments,
West Park Apartments, Carolyn
Apartments, Camelot Apartments
and Woodland Terrace Apart­ments.
Miller said she contacted other
realtors when she was organizing
the letter, but "they chose to deal
with it their own way."
Some restrictions listed in the
letter are no door-to-door cam­paigning,
no leaflets left on auto­mobiles
or on apartment doors, no
signs to be put on the sides of
buildings, and no post hole diggers
may be used to dig holes for sign
posts.
Signs which are 28" by 22"
(poster board size) and are on
small stakes may be put in the
ground around the complexes. This
is the ONLY type of sign which will
be permitted.
All signs must be removed in
accordance with SGA regula­tions—
and all fallen signs must be
removed from the grounds.
All signs which block walkways
or drives will be removed.
Miller, resident manager for
Plainsman Apartments, said the
letter grew out of student's com­plaints
during this year's cam­paigns.
Miller said she went outside the
day of the elections, and "the
parking lot was in a shambles,
leaflets were in the pool and the
place looked terrible."
She began calling other apart­ments
in the area and discovered
that many were as irate as she
was, so she began working on
combining all the complaints.
After she had compiled them, she
went out and asked some of her
tenants what they thought of the
restrictions.
"They all said, 'Great, keep on
going',"Miller said.
Miller said she was aware a
resolution was brought before last
year's Student Senate to restrict
campaign material to campus.
"I felt like if I had to wait for the
SGA to do something on their
own," Miller said, "it would never
happen."
Miller cited several specific
problems, including tempera paint
which runs onto the building when
it rains, signs being nailed into the
sides of buildings, large holes being
dug in lawns for signs and trash
being left around after the cam­paigning
was over.
Stone said the old and new
directors of political affairs and
elections would meet next week to
discuss it.
Welch, Palmer sign for concert
Bob Welch, formerly of Fleet
wood Mac and more recently
known for the album FRENCH
KISS, will appear in concert at the
Auburn Coliseum May 19 at 8 p.m.
The warm-up artist will be
Robert Palmer whose latest album
DOUBLE FUN is receiving a lot of
air play.
Tickets are $5.50 and $6.50 and
will go on sale at the Coliseum
ticket office May 8.
Stokes says racial gap is wider
The gap between the races is
wider than ever, according to Carl
Stokes, speaker at Auburn Ijtst
Thursday. "White liberals have
now turned their attention to envi­ronmental
concerns," Stokes said.
In many cases, he said, "such
concerns are contrary to the needs
of blacks because of the many jobs
that would be displaced."

BASEBALL ACTION -
The Auburn baseball team faces
Ole Miss in a three-game series
this weekend that will determine if
the Tigers will advance to the SEC
playoffs. (See page B-l.)
DOIJLARS AND SENSE
The Student Seriate began re­viewing
requests for student activi­ties
fees this week. (See page A-2.)
Stokes, the first black mayor of
Cleveland, and now a commentator
for NBC radio and television, says
blacks have lost two important
allies, the Jewish community and
organized labor.
He said affirmative action pro­grams
have estranged the Jews
because of their fear of quotas, and
that the "last hired, first fired"
concept is still enforced by labor.
Stokes, who appeared on campus
as a Horizons lecturer, holds Presi­dent
Jimmy Carter "personally
responsible, rather than the lack of
Congressional support, for not
asking for more programs design­ed
to assist cities.
"Instead of decreasing, he has
increased the defense budget, and
just this week 137 new positions
have been added to the White
House staff."
The problems of New York will
hit other industrial cities, including
Birmingham and Atlanta, Stokes
said, unless a regional system of
government is implemented.
"With the white flight into the
suburbs, the cities are left with
poor southern whites, blacks, his-panic
groups, Puerto Ricans and
old people.
There's not enough money to
take care of their needs because of
the loss in property and other
taxes. The multiplicity of the city-suburb
setup is a waste of tax­payer's
money and a waste in
service delivery," he said.
Stokes added the "cry that crime
was reaching the suburbs" is only
natural. "There's nothing left to
take in the cities," he said, "crimi­nals
have to go out into the suburbs
to get it." He added that what
affects the cities affects the sub­urbs.
Stokes said, "Carter has failed
blacks personally. None of us
commentators seems able to put a
finger on the real philosophy of the
man."
Welch's solo album FRENCH
KISS has found enormous success
on national charts with two hit
singles, "Sentimental Lady" and
"Ebony Eyes." The 12 cuts on the
album have been described as
"love songs rocked with a certain
edge."
Welch sees it as lighthearted
rock 'n' roll-"pop, but not In a
campy sense."
Welch, a 32-year-old Los Angeles
native, has been a musician for 13
years. He began playing guitar at
the age of eight "because my
clarinet broke, which I was glad of,
as about that time I began to notice
that playing clarinet wasn't too
cool."
As a young musician, Welch
drifted from one band to another
until he joined Fleetwood Mac in
1971. Welch was lead guitarist,
vocalist and songwriter over the
course of five albums—FUTURE
GAMES, BARE TREES,
PENGUIN, MYSTERY TO ME
AND HEROES ARE HARD TO
FIND.
After four years with Fleetwood
Mac, Welch left the group and
formed his own hard rock, heavy-metal
trio, Paris. The group re­leased
two albums which were
received, critically and com­mercially,
with mixed reactions.
When Welch decided to go solo
more than a year ago, Mick Fleet­wood
offered to manage him. His
first and only solo album,
FRENCH KISS, was released last
September.
Welch handled all the vocals,
guitar andbass parts on FRENCH
KISS with one exception—"Senti­mental
Lady." The tune was first
heard on Fleetwood Mac's BARE
TREES album. It was manager
Fleetwood's idea that Welch should
re-record It. Fleetwood played
drums on the re-cut version and
Lindsey Buckingham and Christine
McVie also had part in it.
Welch said he wanted the album
to sound like the kind of records he
used to get when he was 15 —
just radio songs. FRENCH KiSS
isn't Fleetwood Mac and it isn't
Paris. It is a combination of
Welch's "two distinct sides—crazy
and mellow at the same time."
Two Auburn women

The Student Senate
Budget and Finance
Committee began review­ing
budget requests for
Student Activity fees this
week and will recom­mend
many allocations to
the 11 campus projects
which have requested a
total of $596,287.93. How­ever,
the committee only
has $543,652.28 at its dis­posal,
so many of the
budget requests will have
to be cut.
The committee met
Monday night and will
review the budgets and
make its recommenda-,
tions throughout the rest
of the week. They will
present their recom­mendations
to the full
Student Senate Tuesday
night. Wednesday, the
recommendations will be
presented to President
Harry Philpott for final
approval.
Married Students As­sociation
and SVS are
submitting budget re­quests
for the first time.
The Married Students are
asking for $3,600 to print a
handbook for Auburn's
marrieds.
SVS, who is anticipa­ting
another $2,000 ap­propriation
from Presi­dent
Philpott, has re­quested
$2,764 from Stu­dent
Act fees.
The committee decided
to place both of these
proposals aside until the
other recommendations
had been made on budget
requests.
The committee voted
to recommend allocating
$3,553 to the Religous
Affairs Committee as
they requested as well as
the $5,000 requested by
the Lectures Committee.
After reviewing the
Glomerata's request the
first time, the committee
voted to cut back in seve­ral
areas including the
elimination of a $300 re­quest
for workshops and
the trimming of some of
the employee's salaries.
The SGA is asking for
an 18 percent increase in
its budget.
The Auburn Circle is
asking for a 72 percent
increase to accomodate a
circulation increase from
6,000 to 12,000 copies.
The committee
voted to recommend al­locating
money for 9,000
copies rather than 12,000.
The largest request
made for Student Act
Fees came from Recrea­tional
Services who is
asking for $162,308. The
committee is-going to cut
back in several areas,
allowing for increases
over last year but not
giving the full request in
areas of sports clubs,
maintenance and sala­ries.
The committee heard
the remaining requests
last night, those from The
Plainsman, WEGL-FM
and UPC. They will spend
Thursday, Sunday and
possibly Monday night
going over all the budget
requests again and
revoting until their final
recommendaions are
made.

War Eagle
Staring at the campus with a watchful eye, the War
Eagle has served as the protectorate and the symbol
of Auburn for many years. This stone eagle rests atop
the gate on College Street, near another Auburn
tradition, Toomer's Corner. New manager
resigns WEGL Keith Morgan, WEGL's
newly-appointed station
manager, resigned the
post Monday.
Morgan, who was to
enter graduate school
summer quarter, said he
had decided not to go to
graduate school and
therefore decided to
resign as station mana­ger.
Morgan graduated in
general business winter
quarter and was appoint­ed
station manager by
the Communications
Board last month.
Dan Griffin, station
manager, said applica­tions
for 1978-79 station
manager have been re­opened,
and the final de­cision
will be made by the
Communicaitons Board
May 18.
Morgan's resignation
has "put a hardship on
the station," Griffin said.
Griffin said he had
trained Morgan for the
job, and will now have to
train someone else for the
position. Griffin will also
have to appoint the man­agement
staff and pre­sent
WEGL's budget be­fore
the Senate Budget
and Finance Committee.
Both duties are tradition­ally
performed by the
new station manager.
Applications are now
available for next year's
WEGL-FM station
manager. The applica­tions
may be picked up in
the office of Student Af­fairs
in Mary Martin
Hall.
Applications must be
turned in by noon May 11.

Auburn will host the
National Intercollegiate
Rodeo Association
Championship Friday
and Saturday at 8 p.m.
and Sunday at 2 p.m.
across from the Veter­inary
School. *
' 'This event is to rodeo
like the NCAA Cham­pionships
are to basket­ball,"
said Rodeo Club
President Johnny Land,
40H. "There will be
some of the best college
athletes in the nation
participating here',
which should make a
great rodeo."
Twelve schools and
about 125 contestants
will participate in the
three day event. The 12
teams will come from
the Ozark Rodeo
Region, which makes up
much of the southeast.
Tickets will be avail­able
in advance at $2 for
adults and $1 for child­ren.
Gate prices will be
$2.50 for adults and $1.25
for children.
"This will be a more
professional rodeo than
the one put on by Alpha
Psi two weeks ago,"
said Land. "We hope to
have a big turnout to
help us pay for the
event."
The men's events In­clude
bare-back riding,
bull riding, steer wrest­ling,
calf roping, team
roping and saddle bronk
riding.
Girls events include
barrel racing, girl's
break-away (calf
roping) and girl's goat
tying.
In addition to the
rodeo events, spectators
will have the oppor­tunity
to participate. A
$50 bull chase will be set
up to give people the
chance to win money.
Spectators will be
given a chance to grab a
ribbon off the bull and
then cash it in for
money. Also a dance
will be held Sunday
night at Conway's Lake
after the rodeo. The
dance will feature a live
band and potent bever­ages.
Auburn has a 10 mem­ber
team entered in the
rodeo this year and ac­cording
to Land they
have a good chance of
walking off with the top
college honors. "I think
Auburn has a good
chance of winning the
event," he said. "We
are used to the stock,
and we have the home
advantage. I believe we
will just be psychologi­cally
better."
The Auburn team will
include bare-back rider
Eddie Adams, 4HY,
bull-rider Barry McCaf-ferty,
4VAG, Larry
Davis, 4ADS, in calf
roping and Johnny
Mills, 4VAG, in the bare
back riding competi­tion.
Karen Crenshaw,
1ED, will participate in
all of the girl's events.
Hugh Dunn and Hub
White are entered in the
bull riding competition.
Tim Watson is entered
Interviews taken

from last week
Harris here today
Auburn Trustee Bob
Harris, a candidate for
lieutenant governor, will
speak today at 4:15 p.m.
in Haley Center 2370.
Harris's appearance is
sponsored by the Hori­zons
lecture series which
is providing a forum for
all lieutenant governor
candidates. Forum credit
is offered for the speech.
Harris, who was in the
Alabama State Senate
from 1966 to 1974, now
serves on the Commis­sion
for Reorganization of
State Government and
Plainsmen, War Eagles
selections are named
the committee for re­vision
of the state code.
Gays speak
Monday night from 8
to 9, WEGL will feature
interviews with three
members of Auburn's
gay community on
"Community Forum."
Host Jim Teed, 4GSC,
will be talking with the
two males and one fe­male
about their life­styles
and the problems
homosexuals encounter
at Auburn.
Last week The Plains­man
reported that The
Auburn Circle had re­quested
$19,922 for its
1978-79 budget, "a 149
percent increase over
last year's budget."
The Circle was ap­propriated
$7,969 by the
Student Senate last year,
enough for two editions.
The Senate later, how­ever,
added $3,625 to the
Circle's budget, and with
it another edition of the
magazine.
Thus, total funding for
the Circle was $11,509.
The 1978-79 Circle request
thenr *S "«tuaUy a 72
percent increase over
last year's budget.
In a feature story last
week on the Tiger Sharks,
the Auburn Diving Club,
it was stated that the club
is sponsored by Ad­venture
Sports in Opelika
and that the club offers
classes through the Con­tinuing
Education pro­gram.
To correct the informa­tion,
the club is sponsored
by the University and the
club doesn't offer Contin­uing
Education courses,
but the Adventure Sports
Store does.
Also, John Goodner
was listed incorrectly as
faculty advisor. Faculty
advisors are Dr. Ed Clark
and Coach Bill Washing­ton.
The Plainsman regrets
the errors and is glad to
set the record straight.
The following students
have been chosen from a
group of about 500 appli­cants
to represent Au­burn
as the 1978-79
Plainsmen and War
Eagle Girls.
Plainsmen are David
Thorpe, 3PB, Rick Reyn­olds,
3AC, Hank Marsh-man,
2GC, David Hopper,
2GSC, Rueben Colliero, ,
Mack McClusky, 2PM,
Les Hayes, 3PB, David
Edge, 2GC and Jimmy
Caudle, 3AC.
War Eagle Girls are
Lisa McAllily, 2GSC,
Sally Jacobs, 2VAT,
Candy Floyd, 3PB, Sally
Driver, 3PB, Janet
Evans, 3HM, Lauren
Bartholemew, 2PRJ, Joy
Thomas, 3PB and Leslie
Loughran, 3RSB.
Plainsmen and War
Eagle Girls serve as
the University's official
hosts and hostesses on
campus as well as work­ing
with the Athletic Re­cruiting
Department, the
Alumni Association and
High School Relations.

Budget woes
The Alabama Legislature did Auburn a serious disservice last week when it
adjourned before taking any action on the education appropriations bill, which
provides for funding Auburn and other state colleges find universities.
The House of Representatives received a bill which had been amended 40
times, and was only given one hour in which to debate and pass the bill. It was
turned down.
However, we find the lack of an education appropriations bill inexcusable.
Think back with us to the beginning of the legislative session. Our
representatives seemed to have a lot of time back then. They wasted time
polling each other about who should be college football's National
Champions. They made headlines by missing Governor George Wallace's
"State of the State" speech.
It all seemed to be fun and,gamcs way back in January. But now it is May,
and Auburn officials are worried about the potential crisis which could be
caused by the lack of appropriations.
The 1978 Alabama Legislature is probably not going to go down in history as
a milestone of efficiency, but i^can serve as a learning model. Fun and games
and politicking is all fine, but the needs of the constituents, something which
was apparently ignored by this year's legislature, should always be foremost in
our representatives' minds.
University committees offer one of the better opportunities for Auburn
students to have input into important University decisions.
The committees, composed of students and faculty, are involved in such
diverse areas of student interest as parking and communications.
SGA President Jeff Stone has announced that tomorrow will be the deadline
for students who are interested in serving on University committees to contact
him.
We urge all students to get interested and get involved in serving on these
University committees, and we urge Stone to limit the practice of plurality, by
which SGA officials serve on two or three University committees, and appoint a
wider range of students to the committees.
Baseball team
This weekend will be a very important one for Auburn sports. Not only is it
A-Day, which gives us a chance to look at next year's football team, but also
time for a showdown in the race for the SEC Western Divison baseball crown.
The Ole Miss Rebels will be in town for a three-game series with the Tigers
which will definitely decide who will go to the playoffs.
This has been a landmark year for the so-called minor sports. The baseball
team has a chance to continue this upward trend, and enhance Auburn's
chances for the All-Sports Trophy. a
We encourage everyone to get out and support Auburn's baseball team. It's
at important times like this that the Tigers need our help the most. it
Skateboarding
Spring is here, and with it comes the various activities of the season: tennis,
golf, bicycling and other popular sports among students.
However, Auburn's skateboarders may find themselves in a different
situation. There have been complaints that skateboarders have been harassed
by Campus Security policemen and told not to skateboard on campus.
Security Chief Millard Dawson says skateboarding, though legal, is
dangerous on sidewalks and streets. Still, skateboarders should be allowed to
"do their thing," and should not be stopped by anyone if it is legal.
It's been a long, cold winter, and we're all eager to get out and enjoy this
spring. But we can't if Campus Security is constantly watching our every move,
legal or not.

Something right out of the good old days
It was a throwback to the good ol'
days, the days when the men of the
town would get together on Friday
nights to watch the local club boxing
card.
It's a little different this week at the
A-Club boxing championships. The
women are there, too, cheering just as
loudly as the men. The fighters are
just ardent competitors, not career
pugilists.
But the spirit is the same, I'm sure,
and it was just as much fun.
Assistant sports editor Chuck
Anschutz, photography editor Ford
Risley and myself were on hand
Tuesday night to catch the opening
rounds of action. We weren't dressed
in tuxedos ('a la Ken Norton and
Howard Cosell), but we were still
looking forward to the experience of
covering boxing matches.
For Chuck, though, the experience
brought back some bad memories. As
you may recall, Chuck fought in last
year's tournament, and when David
Barrow, who beat him, entered the
ring, Chuck was willing to reminisce
about his awful experience, had
Barrow not pounded April out of
Chuck's memory.
John
Carvalho
The crowd definitely was classified
as "rowdy." Whenever a boxer
started looking groggy, the crowd
went wild, urging his opponent to
move in for the kill. It was like ancient
Rome all over again.
However, it was all fun. The night
did have its gruesome moments. For
example, from where we were sitting,
we could see all the blood. When I
complained about it to Linda
Howard, one of the helpers there, she
said, "Oh, don't be surprised if they
bleed all over you, too."
And, sure enough, a well-placed
right by one of the competitors sent
little droplets of blood spattering on
our press table (Is this how Cosell got
his start?). Chuck and I were checking
our shirts the rest of the night.
During one match, it looked like
one boxer had his teeth knocked out,
a possibility which upset the weaker
members of the crowd, including
myself. But further investigation
revealed that it was just the poor guy's
protective mouthpiece.
But don't think the night was all
gruesome entertainment. There were
many close and exciting matches. For
example, defending 150-pound
champion Milton Finley, who is one
of the hardest punchers there, found
himself bounced out of the tourna­ment
in the first round, courtesy of
Garry Ard, in one of Tuesday's better
matches.
And let's face it; it takes a lot of
courage for those guys to get out in
the ring. One of the boxers, Mark
Bennett, 3FY, explained that it was
"that little thrill of getting your head
smashed in," a little sarcastically.
Bennett, one of Tuesday night's
winners, had his match last through
all three two-minute rounds. "Those
two minutes spaced out to an awfully
long time," he said. "Somebody just
suggested I enter it, and I said 'Why
not?' Once you commit, there's no
turning back."
The competitors, the crowd and the
atmosphere combined this year, the
same as last year, to make the A-Club
boxing championships a fun time.
You can only watch passive sports
like baseball, tennis and track for so
long until you want to see guys knock
the stew out of each other.
Check out the finals of the A-Club
championships tonight, if you have
the time. Think back to the good ol'
days of weekly club boxing. Yell 'til
you're hoarse.
You'll enjoy it.
'Nowhere else but Auburn;' think about it
Betsy
Butgereit
Nowhere else but Auburn.
Not a day goes by that a student
doesn't have cause to utter that phrase
at least once.
Nowhere else but Auburn can a
student amble out into the middle of
the street to cross and completely stop
traffic—without being run down.
Nowhere else but Auburn can you
be elected to an SGA position and
two weeks later, have all 18,000
students deny any knowledge of you
or your name.
Nowhere else but Auburn can you
go to school for four years and never
see a major concert, except maybe for
Opelika High School.
Nowhere else but Auburn can you
get a ticket for being sick since you
Earked in front of the infirmary
ecause you're too sick to walk.
Nowhere else but Auburn can you
have your books stolen in a bookstore.
Nowhere else but Auburn would
the school print a fall quarter schedule
with the first day of exams scheduled
for the day of THE Auburn-Alabama
game.
Nowhere else but Auburn would
the administration change the date as
soon as they realized it.
Nowhere else but Auburn would
some guy flash in the Social Center.
Nowhere else but Auburn can you
bring your dog with you to class.
Nowhere else but Auburn can you
trudge to class in Haley Center each
morning by beautiful foaming
fountains.
Nowhere else but Auburn would so
many bars open and close in one year.
Nowhere else but Auburn would
the Security Department register
2,000,000 vehicles for both parking
spaces on campus.
Nowhere else but Auburn would a
school whose colors are orange and
blue hand out chefs club cards that
are red and white.
Nowhere else but Auburn can you
be kept from graduating because you
can't pass a swimming test.
Nowhere else but Auburn can you
win a major title in sports and be
lucky if you get the story on the
classified page of your school paper.
Nowhere else but Auburn can you
break a University rule by visiting
your girlfriend in the dorm.
Nowhere else but Auburn can you
get back to nature by visiting the new
intramurals fields or playing on a hot
day at the University tennis courts.
Nowhere else but Auburn would
the administration adhere stringently
to an executive request that all but
prohibited air conditioning while the
rest of the state schools ignored the
order.
Nowhere else but Auburn would
the students call them idiots for doing
so.
And nowhere else but Auburn
would it nearly snow the day after the
air conditioning goes on.
Nowhere else but Auburn can you
order something different in the
school cafeterias every day and end up
with the same thing, I think.
And, apparently, anywhere else but
i Auburn can you crack a library joke.

Letters Counterpoint
Reducing Nazi march to Constitutional matter beclouds issue'
Thursday, May 4,1978 A-5
SGA vice president pushes
for student involvement
Editor, The Plainsman:
I appreciate The Plainsman giving
me this method of communicating
important messages to Auburn's stu­dents.
I hope that some increase in
student interest and involvement will
result from these occasional letters.
To the students, I want to express
my thanks one last time for your
support during the campaign and
especially in the period of transition
since the election. I now feel that we
are organized and ready to begin what
I hope will be a banner year for the
SGA in general, and the Student
Senate in particular.
To do this, student participation is
essential. That's why I want to tell you
about some specific things you can do
to carry your share of the load in the
SGA.
First, attend Senate meetings. We
will meet in the Foy Union every
Monday at 7 p.m. This Monday, May
8, is an especially important session
because the Budget and Finance
Committee will present its report on
Student Activities Fee allocations for
the next 15 months to the Senate for
adoption. If anything the Senate does
is important, this is it.
Also, I am looking for students to
serve as ex-officio'members on the
Senate's budget and Finace, Student
Relations, Traffic and Parking,
Student Welfare, Academic Affairs,
Organizations or Athletics and Recre­ation
Committees. If you have an
interest in one of these areas, please
stop by the SGA office and talk with
me.
I really believe that we are off to an
excellent start this year. With your
help, this progress will culminate in
the kind of SGA Auburn's students
really want—one that is responsive,
effective and hard working. I appreci­ate
your efforts.
Buddy Barfield, 3ACF
President, SGA Student Senate
John Carvalho's editorial treatment
of the controversy surrounding the
American Nazi Party's attempt to
march through the predominately
Jewish suburb of Skokie, 111., fails "to
adequately address the salient issues
involved in that unsettled and un­settling
situation. Distilling the
events now unfolding in Skokie down
to a matter of Constitutionality clouds
the key issue: are the ideological
offspring of those who devised and
opereated human mass murder mills
to be allowed to parade among the
survivors?
The assumption that the free
exchange of ideas, mediated by the
First Amendment, will expose the
Nazis for the hate-filled radicals they
are is naive and without historical
precedent. The founding fathers
never relied upon or intended to
create a system that would encourage
all ideas to be freely and equally
expressed. It was, in fact, because
their ability to organize and persevere
that they succeeded.
Had they depended upon winning
some sort of ideological competition
in the open market-place of ideas they
would have been soundly beaten
because fully one-half to two-thirds of
those in the Colonies at the time of
the Revolutinary War were either
Loyalists or neutral. The precedent
established then is still in effect. .
The free-exchangcrof-ideas prin­ciple,
with its cone am it ant emergence
of the just and demise of the profane,
is a myth. It is in fact a dangerous
myth so long as there are those who
subscribe to it, for in such a case there
will be individuals who will, perhaps
even to their surprise, find themselves
the defenders of and apologists for
groups that are otherwise intolerable.
Carvalho's blind interpretation of
the First Amendment puts him in just
such a position. And while the Skokie
incident cannot be compared to Nazi

Professor urges care in defining discrimination
Editor, The Plainsman:
Although this letter may be too
long for publication, I hope that it is
not too long for your consideration,
made in the same spirit in which it is
written.
In the April 20 Plainsman, a timely
editorial appeared under the heading
"Discrimination... Again". Being
sympathetic toward all things which
are mistreated, I suggest a brief look
at the word "discriminate."
Stopping for a red light and
proceeding when the light is green is
discrimination. Ordering a pizza
instead of turnip greens is discrimina­tion.
Becoming upset upon finding a
Chevrolet engine installed in your
new Oldsmobile is discrimination.
The word requires help if it is to be
used as a bad word.
The editor believes that, based on
some current laws and regulations,
"students are considered an undesir­able
element in the Auburn commun­ity."
This is as true as saying that
elementary school students would be
considered an undesirable element if
they wanted to live in the fraternity
houses. Can a slight difference in age,
interests and activities make a group
"undesirable?"
The editorial tells us that "The
image of the students as loud and
raucous still exists." I cannot explain
to you the reason for this image; time
shall.
Selection of campus hosts stirs complaints
Editor, The Plainsman:
In the recent selection of War Eagle
Girls and Plainsman, the opinion
once again prevails on Auburn's
campus that "it's not what you are,
but it's who you know."
This is very degrading to the
democratic atmosphere that sup­posedly
prevails at Auburn Univer­sity.
This is not the first time
something of this nature has occurred
(and probably not the last).
If you take a look at the eight
newly-selected War Eagle Girls, the
hard, cold facts will hit you in the face
as it has us, like a hot brick! Isn't it
ironic that exactly half of the girls
selected were at some time roommates
or "sweet"-mates with a member of
the interviewing board (not to men-
Afro-Americans warn 'racist'
about tearing down club sign
Editor, The Plainsman:
This letter is for the cloak and
dagger racist, (one of many here at
Auburn) who tore up the sign
announcing the Afro-American
Association Meeting last Wednesday.
We hope you feel better after your
little fit, but we think it is only fair to
tell you that, outside of destroying a
25 cent poster, you did little else.
The Afro-American Association
will continue to meet whether you
tear up our signs or not. What we are
wondering now is what steps you will
take now since destroying our first
sign didn't work. Perhaps you'll try
ripping our red, black and green
Afro-American Association shirts off
our backs, or blowing up our meeting
place (2116 Haley Center). Whatever
you decide to do, we think it's best
that you understand we are not afraid
of you nor will we be intimidated by
you. After all, black people have
DOONESBURY
come through much worse than this,
or have you forgotten the bombings
and beatings of the 1950's and
1960's. We assure you, we haven't.
So, do as you will, but remember one
thing: as one of our members said
before in a Plainsman letter—we look
forward to your harassment.

tion that they are sorority sisters)?
Enough said.
We hope that in the future,
objective selection of this and other
campus honors will not be conducted
in such an unfair manner.
Names withheld by request
Editor's note: This letter was
submitted by eight men and women
who tried out for selection as War
Eagle Girls and Plainsmen, official
hostesses and hosts of Auburn Univer­sity.

Former batgirl 'sets record straight'
Editor, The Plainsman:
I would like to set the record
straight about the batgirls. We did
present the idea to head baseball
Coach Paul Nix, but the insinuation
that we would not take "no" for an
answer is not fair. No one said "no,"
and no one begged. Everything was
approved by Athletic Director Lee
Hayley before we even knew we would
he batgirls.
Besides, Nix asked us not to tell
how we became batgirls, and I feel
like assistant Coach Dennis Womack
took a great liberty in doing so. Since
it was only a trial season, Nix could
not affort the time to create a
campus-wide contest for just four
girls.

The paragraph, "we feel the time
has come for townspeople to accept
us. A little reaching out by both sides
would help," is on the mark, I think.
If "both sides" means that only two
positions exist, "my side" or "their
side," then we have more of the
divide and destroy philosophy, so
fashionable for so many and so
profitable for so few.
It is tragic that some townspeople,
some students, people everywhere,
are obsessed with things which they
do not have and have no time for
appreciating and enjoying the things
which they do have. It is not a new
phenomenon. Many years ago did
someone say, "Who's that dude who
says that we may eat of every tree in
the garden except one? Who the hell
does he think he is? Don't we have
rights?"
Things change; people don't.
I am neither a townsperson nor a
student. I have no right to enter this
discussion. I have only the right to
wish and work for maximum unity
with minimum involuntary restric­tions.
It can work. It has been known
to work, although for relatively short
periods of history.

Letters to the editor should be
typed, double-spaced and submitted
to The Plainsman office by 5 p.m.
Monday. The total number of words
should not exceed 400 words. Letters
over the limit may be edited without
the writer's consent. Some type of ID
should be presented.
Germany, the type of. thinking
exhibited in the editorial is precisely
the type of thinkine which allowed
the Holocaust to happen. The murder
of 6 million Jews was, after all, legally
sanctioned. The men who pulled the
triggers, the men who gassed, the
children and the men who kicked
away the platforms so that the last
little bit of life could be strangled out
of some Jew who could work no longer
were all acting within their rights. .
The point is, rights do not exist in
an existential vacuum. Connected to
them are-behaviors and intentions.
Rights take on meaning only in the
context of the behaviors or expressed
intentions they allow. Otherwise, they
are meaningless. Consideration of the
behavior and intention related to
rights explains how freedom of
expression and legal sanctions against
yelling fire in a crowded theater can
co-exist.
Rights, as they function, are not
absolute. They are interpretable de­vices
created to protect or advance the
interests of members of a society.
They benefit those members only in
so far as each individual is aware of
them. By virtue of this awareness and
the flexibility of rights, the onus is
one each one of us to determine the
meanging we shall attribute to, in this
case, freedom of expression. . .
In exercising this responsibility in
the Skokie case, one must keep in
mind the reason the Nazis chose
Skokie as the cite of their march. In
the words of an American Nazi Party
member interviewed in the Atlanta
Constitution, "It's no coincidence
you find the most Jew-haters where
you find the most Jews."
The First Amendment's guarantee
of freedom of expression does not
absolve one from thinking and acting
responsible. By ignoring the implica­tions
of freedom of expression in this
case, Carvalho . is on safe ground
legally, but is, in fact, sanctioning a
type of moral perversity that should
have died long ago. That it has not,
has several implicaitons. One of which
is, the march will probably occur and
once more we will find.Nazis being
protected by armed police and legal
authority as they demonstrate against
Jews.
This situation demands a response,
especially at a time when, once again,
the integrity of the lews is lost
between the lines of some host
country's legal system one cannot be
still. Silence is acquiescence.
Soil judging champs complain
of lack of Plainsman support
Editor, The Plainsman:
The article The Plainsman carried
on the Auburn University soil judging
team was a disappointment to all
concerned. It seems that The Plains­man
missed the value of this article—
Auburn University has a National
Championship Title. It may not be in
Study time (page A-3) or Guy
watching (page A-3) but it at least
rates equal time.
Soil judging is a difficult and
competitive event, and it was a great
accomplishment for the Auburn Uni­versity
team to have won the national
title; the only disappointment was
the lack of support by The Plainsman
staff. When the sod judging team
won third place at Murray State
University in Kentucky, to qualify to
go on to the national competition, an
article was promised by The Plains­man.
There was no article.
Now, after winning the national
competition, The Plainsman omitted
a picture of the team members that
was submitted (while putting yet
another picture of the explosion
'Among the Ruins'), the names of the
team members and their coach, and
added a much subdued headline to
the article "AU Agronomy team
buries opponents." They won the
national championship—that's the
news to shout about. It seems
obvious that this hard-working team
deserves more than The Plainsman
offered. After all, when was the last
time Beau Bridges won a national
championship for Auburn University?

Powered by solar energy
Students build model house
Student architects and
engineers combined their
areas of specializations
recently and discovered a
unique approach to home
use of solar energy.
The students in these
fields teamed up for a
class project and con­structed
a small working
model solar home built to
one-twenty-fourth scale.
Conflicting design re­quirements
and .other
technicalities let the
three students gain a
better understanding of
their partner's field.
While architect stu­dents
Alan Bell, 6AR, and
Bruce Playle, 4AR, were
enjoying the "feel" of
spacious rooms in their
proposed design, their
mechanical engineering
partner, Allen Gunn,
4ME, was worrying about
where to put a massive
water storage tank in­cluded
in the active solar
system.
"They were forced to
learn each other's lang­uage
so they could com­municate
and work ef­fectively
within a fixed
time frame," said Dr.
John Goodling, associate
professor of mechanical
engineering.
"Their model house
had to be both aestheti­cally
pleasing and func­tional,"
he said.
The model has been
submitted to a conference
on passive solar design
and the team is seeking
funding from various
state agencies to carry
out their plans on a
larger, one-quarter scale
house built on campus.
The model design
centers on a massive
masonry wall dividing
the house in half and
forming an arched
passageway from one
side to the other. The wall
also serves as a storage
area for accumulated
heat.
Waste heat from the
fireplace and dutch oven
and refrigerator exhaust
goes into the wall and is
added to heat admitted
through louvres in the
roof.
The roof consists of
louvres, which form the
top half of the front roof.
Facing south, the louvres
let in the sun's heat and
ventilate the high celling
living area.
The lower half of the
roof is formed by solar
collectors. They are air
and water-tight, omitting
extra roofing materials,
thus saving the builder
money.
Windows, also placed
on the south side, reduce
the effects of cold winds
and use maximum a-mounts
of sunlight.
Natural lighting, con­trolled
by the louvres, is
also used with task lights
to avoid large, overhead
lights.
Second floor bedrooms
are warmed from heat
rising from the first floor
during the daytime.
"Passive solar energy
involves how the whole
house functions with the
environment. It becomes
a filter instead of just a
shell; not an inanimate
object but a part of
nature, changing with the
seasons," said Harry
Baxley, assistant pro­fessor
of architecture.
"Nature tends to regu­late
the climate with
trees for shade in
summer and leafless
trees letting in more sun­light
in winter. The same
is true with homes. In
winter, close them down.
Make them snug. In
summer, open them up,"
he said.
Everything in the house
could be mechanical and
would be controlled by a
computer that would
open and' close the
louvres according to the
sunlight and heat. The
computer would also
operate the water flow
through the solar panels
and switch the system
from active solar to con­ventional
fuel whenever
such a temperature is
indicated.

counselors and 4-H Club
extension workers.
Because of the large
number in attendance,
two opening sessions
were held. During the
sessions, slides of both
schools and an orienta­tion
of the day's events
were presented. High
school and Junior college
counselors were in­formed

entertainment.
This was followed by bus
tours around the solar-heated
poultry house, the
bull-testing unit and the
fisheries unit.
Bill Alberson, assistant
to Dean Rouse and the
main organizer of the
event, said he was "de­lighted"
by the turnout
and beautiful weather.

House guests - some­times
come at the most
unexpected times.
So do major concerts
such as this quarter's Bob
Welch-Robert Palmer
show.
"At the first of the
quarter, we couldn't find
many groups touring,"
said Sim Thomas, chair­man
of the UPC's major
entertainment com­mittee.
He soon found one, but
not until the first part of
April did Steve Greil, the
director of promoting
agency Sound Seventy,
call Auburn with the news
that Welch was a concert
possibility for Auburn.
Program director Ellen
Maloy said the concert
wasn't confirmed for sure
by Sound Seventy until
last Friday, though she
was sure enough before
then to reserve the coli­seum
April 21 for the
concert.
If Sound Seventy hadn't
called with good news
about Welch, would there
have been a major con­cert
this quarter?
Thomas thought so.
"We were working on
some other people for this
quarter...some smaller
acts," said the committee
chairman. "We're not
anymore."
Thomas wasn't sur­prised
that a concert date
popped up so unexpect­edly,
and noted that con­cert
cancellations and
last-minute bookings
"can happen just like
that."
Illustrating his point,
Thomas said that last
spring "we didn't have
anything at the first of the
quarter.
"Then Concerts West
(another promotion
agency) came in with
(Neil) Diamond and
Olivia (Newton-John).
Those concerts fell in our
lap."
But why did Sound
Seventy come to Auburn
this April with a concert
that fell into the UPC's
lap?
"I think it's a good
gamble," replied Maloy.
"Steve (Greil) knows
we'll do everything we
can in our power to make
sure this concert goes
over."
Maloy said the UPC
tries to encourage pro-

to perform at

Steve Jones, 3PB, will
sing and play guitar at
the Quad Kitchen Tues­day
at 8 p.m.
Jones played many laid
back numbers at the
Kitchen Jan. 31, in what
entertainment writer
Scott Thurston called a
"very relaxed, very self-assured"
performance.
The Hamilton, Ala.,
native has performed for
12 years, and performed
at the Bob Hope Talent
Contest fall quarter be­fore
his first Kitchen ap­pearance.
Jones played and sang
songs by Stephen Bishop,
Jim Croce, Boz Scaggs
and James Taylor last
quarter, along with
several original composi­tions.
'Nicholas and
Alexandra'
runs Monday
The movie epic "Nicho­las
and Alexandra" will
be shown Monday at 7:15
p.m. in Langdon Hall. An
Auburn I.D. is required
for admission.
The film is an elaborate
account of the last Ro­manov
czar and the fall of
imperial Russia in the
early 1900's.
Difected by Franklin J.
Schaffner, "Nicholas and
Alexandra" has been
described as "a long, long
film, expensively mount­ed"
in the tradition of
motion pictures like "Dr.
Zhivago."
The storyline of the
film traces the sad hist­ory
of Russia's last royal
family, with Nicholas
played by Michael
Jayston and Alexandra
portrayed by Jane Suz-man.
With their only son a
hemophiliac, and duped
by the fraudulent monk
Rasputin, the two mon-archs
ultimately fostered
their own destruction.
Critics of the film have
called it superficial and
bland, with the luxurious
costumes and sets ob­scuring
the essence of the
period.
moters to bring concerts
to Auburn, noting that
"we've got some very
good relations with pro­moters."
Doing everything in its
power, for the UPC,
means putting up posters
and giving promotional
materials to local papers
and radio stations.
Thomas said some of
his committee members
even chauffeur concert
artists around town and
pick up, in town, the odds
and ends purchased for
band members by pro­moters.
The IFC did the same
thing when Kris Kristof-ferson
got his Gatorade
and Rita Coolidge got
some roses backstage
just before last year's
Homecoming show.
This quarter's Bob
Welch concert is being
promoted by Sound
Seventy alone. It'll take
all the profits or losses,
and pay the Coliseum
$1,000 or 10 percent of the
ticket sales, after taxes,
whichever proves to be
the most money.
The major entertain­ment
committee gets 20
percent of what the Coli­seum
gets from a con­cert.
Over the years, ac­cording
to Thomas, the
committee's bank ac­count
has grown to about
$11,000. The committee
chairman said this
money may be used to
co-promote concerts.
The big diflerence for
the UPC in co-promoting
a concert, according to
Thomas, lies in taking
half the risk, or half the
net profit or loss from a
show.

Fall quarter, the UPC
took all the risk in pro­moting
the England Dan
and John Ford Coley con­cert,
the first concert
ever promoted solely by
the UPC.
Will the UPC promote
anymore major concerts
on its own next year?
"The chances are
slim," said Thomas, "be­cause
the business office
won't approve purchase
orders for...extra things
on the rider..."
Extra things on the
concert contract include
limousine service and
niceties for the stars like
the Gatorade and roses.
Maloy said that groups
often "go to the best
caterers," the promoters
that offer them the best
service and extras.
Commenting on pos­sible
UPC-sponsored con­certs
in the future, Maloy
said, "I would hope it
would be something we
could work out with the
purchasing office."
If the UPC does sponsor
more concerts like the
England Dan-John Ford
Coley show, Maloy feels
there'll be some room for
us to promote.
"But no matter what
our expertise, we'll have
some stiff competition."
Maloy also noted that
some larger rock groups
may not want a "house
promotion" and insist on
outside promotion or co-promotion.

watching Union troops
murder his family.
At the end of the war
Wales barely escapes
death at the hands of the
unforgiving enemy. He
refuses to surrender and
becomes a pursued out­law
who is hunted by both
his former friends and
enemies.
Wales, as a character,
goes through a decisive
change in this film that
has Eastwood's typical
noble revenge theme.
We have here a study of
the fearless outlaw who is
determined to revenge
himself, but utterly help­less
against the huge
forces mounted against
him.
Wales reverts from out­law
to simple farmer and
is comforted only with the
sweet feeling that he has
at least survived. In the
end there is no way Wales
can escape his own desire
for revenge, so he must
live with it.
In his attempts to avoid
his enemies, Wales at­tracts
a motley crew of
hangers-on who provide
some of the best scenes in
this dramatic story.
The people who join
Wales in a flight through
Texas to Mexico treat
him with the type of
respectful timidity which
is reserved for notorious
outlaws and famed
rogues.
Eastwood easily fills
the boots of this heroic
figure, who seems
haunted by his nagging
desire for revenge.
Wales' inability to
totally destroy his many
foes is brought out by his
encounters with the
minor characters, who
don't seem to understand
his obsession with death. :
Not to be punning, but
Chief Dan George is chief
among the minor charac­ters
in "The Outlaw
Josey Wales".
The aging American
Indian actor is consider­ably
convincing in the
role of the wise old
Indian, Lone Watie.
George is delightful when
he attempts a form of dry
humor that seems to fit
his character perfectly.
Eastwood the actor was
also Eastwood the direc­tor
in this film. The film
seems to have a cohesive-ness
that is not always
found in Eastwood's
other films.
There is the usual
amount of violence in
"The Outlaw Josey
Wales," that is usual for
an Eastwood film. One
can't help but feel that if
Eastwood were a painter
his brushes would be
weapons and blood would
be his paint.
Overall, "The Outlaw
Josey Wales" is one of
Eastwood's better films,
perhaps because he
wielded directorial con­trol,
and because of the
strength of the story.
Somehow this film has
succeeded with what Tom
Milne in the "Monthly
Film Bulletin" called "a
portrayal of the meta­morphosis
of a peaceful
farmer into a Byronic
hero."

Flying frisbees invade Auburn
^AcK^^
By Wanda Kenton
Plainsman Staff Writer
While walking to Haley
Center, keep your head
low, look both ways, and
proceed with caution. Be­ware
of flying frisbees!
Auburn frlsbee fanatics
can be found on campus,
at Chewacla, at any
apartment complex, and
virtually anywhere
there's space to throw.
To meet the growing
demand to learn the skill
of frlsbee throwing, the
UPC, in connection with
three Interested students,
started Wednesday night
frlsbee lessons.
Students interested in
improving their frlsbee
toss may attend the les­sons
every Wednesday at
6:30 p.m. In the Sports
Arena, next door to the
Student Activities
Building.
"The response to our
program has been excel­lent,"
said UPC Recrea­tion
Committee chair­man,
Jim Russ.
He said anywhere from
20 to 36 students have
showed up every Wednes­day
night to ask questions
In Review Jefferson Starship Les Dudek
EARTH
Jefferson Starship
With EARTH, Jef­ferson
Starship has pro­duced
an all too common
entity on the market
today - an album with two
or three songs that get all
the airplay and five or six
others that merely take
"up time.
You've heard the three
hits-"Love Too Good,"
"Count On Me" and
"Runaway" and they're
all good songs. But after
these three, the pickings
get pretty slim.
There're only two
rockers on the album,
"All Night Long" and
"Skateboard." The
former isn't too bad, but
"Skateboard," as one
might expect, comes as
close to being lyrically
idiotic as anything I've
ever heard.
Consider, for example,
the opening lines: "Whoa
whoa whoa mama, here I
go whoa again."
On "Take Your Time,"
a slower cut, Grace Slice
gives a typically en­gaging
vocal perform­ance
(I wish she sang all
of the songs). Even this
song is carried to the
depths of boredom, how­ever,
by a refrain that is
repeated no less than 10
times.
Slick give a particu­larly
inspired perfor­mance
on "Show Your­self,"
an anti-govern­ment
appeal sung to the
flag.
The sentiments are
nice- "There are children
dying for you. That
doesn't sound like free­dom
to me. You keep lyin'
about why they're dyin"
but in 1978, who cares?
Jefferson Starship may
be flying high, but they
prove on EARTH that
they haven't escaped the
gravitational pull of crea- / /
tivity's nemesis—comV,
mercial success. |

GHOST TOWN PARADE
Les Dudek
For those of you
wondering, "Les who?"
Les Dudek has been a
noted studio guitarist for
years. His credits include
appearances on The
Allman Bothers' classic,
BROTHERS AND
SISTERS, Steve Miller's
BOOK OF DREAMS and
Boz Scaggs' SILK
DEGREES.
GHOST TOWN
PARADE is Dudek's
third solo release and
marks a change in his
style. This album is not
nearlv as jazz inflected as
was SAY NO MORE, his
previous release, but is
every bit as funky.
Beyond that, Dudek's
music on GHOST TOWN
PARADE defies categori­zation.
It is neither heavy
metal nor pop-rock, but it
is also both.
Despite this conglom­eration
of influences,
Dudek's music is surpris­ingly
original, both lyri­cally
and musically.
Vocally, Dudek is not
much above average, but
with the help of a host of
background singers, his
singing is more than ade­quate.
But what really makes
this album go is Dudek's
guitar playing. From the
opening notes of "Central
Park" to the fade out of
"Ghost Town Parade,"
his guitar is rarely silent.
Whether playful or
vicious, Dudek's riffs are
always musical, and his
playing begs comparison
with Carlos Santana's,
though their styles are
quite different.
Variety is no problem
on GHOST TOWN
PARADE, as evidenced
by the first three cuts on
the album. "Central
Park" is a straight ahead
funk rocker propelled by
a solid, percussive back-beat.
"Bound To Be a
Change" is a Foghat-style
rocker, and features
Dudek's handiwork on.
slide guitar.
These two are followed
by "Gonna Move," a joy­ful,
melodic tune that
sounds almost like a
broadway production
number.
The common denomi­nator
for all of Dudek's
music, however, is the
enthusiasm with which it
is performed.
Les Dudek may not be a
household name yet, but

and practice throws,
tricks and stunts.
Lisa Baldwin, Tommy
Green and Brian Gilbert
are keenly interested in
the success of the pro­gram.
They have helped
coordinate the program
with the UPC and, as
Baldwin put it, "are there
to help and assist in any
way we can."
Baldwin began watch­ing
frlsbee competition
on the "Wide World of
Sports" during high
school.
"I noticed there
weren't many girls excel­ling
in the sport, so I
decided to give it a try,"
said Baldwin.
Since then, she has
mastered how to perform
tricks in throwing,
spinning and catching.
"Like any other sport,
you have to practice to be
good," said Baldwin. She
and Green practice two
hours dally, plus about 10
to 12 hours per weekend.
Green said he and the
other instructors are at­tempting
to form a frls­bee
team on campus.
"We've received offers
to play schools such as
Alabama, Kentucky,
Georgia Tech and Bir­mingham,
but we can't
unless we have more
interested and devoted
participants," he said.
"Frlsbee is a lot of fun,
but there's a whole lot
more to it then meets the
eye," said Green.
Baldwin agrees. "It's
all in the snap and spin of
the wrist — you've got to
know the techniques in
order to progress," she
said.
This Sunday, Baldwin,
Green and some other
frlsbee players are
traveling to Birmingham
to enter a frlsbee compe­tition
tournament.
Green expressed an
interest in the game of
ULTIMATE.
"It's like soccer in the
sense that there are two
opposing seven-man
teams and two goals," he
said.
"The object of the
game is to advance the
frlsbee over the goal line
without letting it drop to
the ground, via hand-passing.
"Games such as this
require team effort,"
said Green. "We're not
necessarily looking for
frisbee experts — just
anyone who wants to
have a great time and
participate.
"Frisbee-throwlng is
fun and you get exercise

noted Russ.
He said many of the

tournament.
The tournament will in­clude
categories such as
accuracy, skill and long
distance throwing. Ac­cording
to Russ, first
place trophies will be
presented to winning
participants.
Students may sign up

Dawson outlines
parking problems
Security Chief M.E.
Dawson has some tips for
students, faculty and
staff members who park
on the Auburn campus.
Dawson compiled the tips
in the form of questions
that have ben asked fre­quently
since the be­ginning
of the school
year.
"We will do everything
we can to help people at
Auburn understand what
proper parking is,"
Dawson said. "The cam­pus
is crowded, and we
all have to recognize that
controls are imperative.
Although the official
regulations are more de­tailed
than the following
list, an understanding of
these seven regulations is
basic to a person's ability
to park correctly on
campus.
What is legal park­ing?
Legal parking means
parking in a marked
parking space. You must
park your car legally 24
hours a day. Zoning regu­lations
are in effect from
7 a.m. until 4 p.m. each
day. All other parking
regulations are in effect
24 hours a day.
To be legally parked,
Dawson says, you may
not park on a yellow curb,
block a driveway, block a
fire hydrant or park over­time
in a time-restricted
area, such as in a 15-
minute zone.
You may not park in a
wheelchair space unless
you have received per­mission
from Chief Daw­son
to do so, obstruct a
sidewalk, obstruct an in­tersection
or park on the
grass.
Who can drive on
campus between 7 a.m.
and 4 p.m.?
Cars with A, B, and C
zone permits, bicycles,
and motorcycles may
drive on campus be­tween
7 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Cars with D and F zone
permits may not drive on
campus between 7 a.m.
and 4 p.m. After 4 p.m.,
they may drive on cam­pus
and they may park in
a legal parking space.
What happens to
parking regulations dur­ing
finals?
Parking and zoning
regulations are in effect
from 7 a.m. the first day
of registration until A
p.m. the day before grad­uation.
Regulations are
in effect during finals and
"dead day."
What do I do if my
car breaks down and I
borrow someone else's
car?
If your car is regist­ered,
you may apply to
the Security Office for a
temporary permit to put
on the borrowed car. A
temporary permit is good
for one week only.
What do I do if I need
to bring some things to
campus that are too
heavy or cumbersome to
walk across campus
with?
You may apply to the
Security Office for a load­ing
permit. To obtain a
loading permit, you must
have a car registered on
campus. You must ask
for the loading permit
before you do the loading
or unloading. A loading
permit is issued for a
very restricted length of
time to help you accomp­lish
a specific task.
Chief Dawson com­mented
that the parking
problem is caused by two
factors: the number of
cars belonging to Auburn
students, staff and fac­ulty
members and the
attitude toward use of
vehicles on campus.
"We can't do very
much about the number
of vehicles. There are
more than 20,000 in use on
campus and we all want
to have our cars. Ob­viously
we can't all have
our cars on campus at the
same time. What we can
change is our attitude
toward the use of cars on
campus."

The Lee County Red
Cross will be making its
spring bloodmobile visit
to the Wesley Foundation
Wednesday from noon
until 6 p.m.
The Arnold Air Society
and Angel Flight who
will be working as volun­teers,
are sponsoring the
drive. The group is
putting up posters and
calling former blood
donors encouraging them
to give again.
Phi Kappa Psi frater­nity
will also be helping
with the drive.
The goal for the drive
has been set at 250 pints.
"We feel that this
realistic goal because the
drive isn't being held on
campus and it Is only for
one day," said Virginia
H. Rogers, executive sec­retary
for the Lee County
Red Cross.
"We really can't
emphasize the impor­tance
of giving blood too
much. Sometimes it is
easier to give if you know
someone who needs the
blood.
"But, emergencies
happen everyday.
Leukemia patients need
15 units of platelets
several times a week.
The platelets come from
the blood that has been
donated. Someone under­going
heart surgery uses
eight to 15 pints of whole
blood," Rogers said.
"All of the 1,400 units of
blood that were donated
on February 14, the first
day of the big campus
drive, had gone out to
Alabama hospitals by
February 15.
"The need for blood is
so great," she said.

The Auburn Plainsman Thursday, May 4, 1978 B l
Baseball team
finishing strong
By Brad Davis
Sports Editor
"It's not how you start, it's how
you finish," has certainly proved
true for the Auburn baseball team
this year.
After winning only four of its first
nine Southeastern Conference
games this season and finding
itself in fourth place in the SEC
West Division, the War Eagles
have come alive. Auburn has won
nine of its last 12 league games and
is tied with Mississippi State for the
lead in their division.
This year is probably the closest
race in SEC history, with eight of
the 10 teams still scrambling for a
playoff position. Only Florida has
anything wrapped up—the East
Division title, which means they'll
host the league's double-elimina­tion
tournament. Three other
teams, Georgia, Vanderbilt and
Tennessee are . vying for that
second place. The top two teams
from each division advance to the
tournament next weekend.
In the West, the race is even
closer, with four teams fighting for
first. Auburn and Mississippi State
are tied for the top at 13-8, with Ole
Miss 12-9 and Alabama 10-11.
Auburn would have to be the
favorite now, as the Tigers host Ole
Miss in a three-game series at
Plainsman Park, while Mississippi
State hosts Alabama.
Winning two of the three games
will assure the War Eagles of a
playoff berth, while a three-game
sweep would insure Auburn of at
least a tie for first place. The
Tiger's chances of a three-game
sweep over Ole Miss appear
stronger than State's chances of
sweeping the Crimson Tide!
Crowd support will be vital to
Auburn's hopes of winning the
West title. With a doubleheader
scheduled for Saturday night, after
the A-Day football scrimmage, and
a single game Sunday afternoon,
the stands at Plainsman Park
should be packed.
This is a chance for the Auburn
crowd to be intimidating in base­ball,
and Auburn fans need to be
just that in cheering the Tigers on
to the playoffs this weekend.
-Basketball
Just when everyone was talking
about how LSU and Mississippi
State should dominate the South­eastern
Conference basketball
race next year, the Kentucky Wild­cats
pulled off one of the most
successful recruiting campaigns in
history.
Most observers agree Kentucky
has signed the best shooter, the
best rebounder and the best guard
in the country. All three are listed
in the top 10 in the country's prep
recruits. Chuck Verderber, a 6-
foot-6 forward from Lincoln 111., is
the best rebounder. The best
shooter is 6-foot-7 Clarence Tillman
from Philadelphia, while the best
guard, and perhaps the best high
school player this year, is 6-foot-3
guard Dwight Anderson from
Dayton, Ohio.
The Cats may not win the regu­lar-
season league title because of a
youth-factor, but by the time tour­nament
time rolls around, you
better look out for the defending
national champs.
Auburn has signed four recruits
this year, and the only one of note is
Auburn's own Lewis Card. Card is
listed as one of the top guards in the
South, and could fill in at the spot
the Tigers need help the most.
Auburn coaches have indicated
they will call a halt to this year's
recruiting and save the remaining
scholarships for next year. Au­burn's
recruiting year would have
to be rated in the middle of the

-All-Sports
Auburn is in a good position to
capture the SEC's prestigious All-
Sports trophy this year. The Tigers
were tied with LSU at the end of
winter quarter for the lead, with
Alabama a half-point behind. Au­burn
should finish in front of both
LSU and Alabama in baseball and
track for sure, and possibly tennis
and golf.
With all the grumbling that's
been going on this year, that seems
hard to believe.
Tigers and Rebs vie for playoffs
By Chuck Anschutz
Assistant Sports Editor
"It all boils down to this final
series."
Those words from Auburn Assis­tant
Baseball Coach Dennis
Womack say, in a nutshell, what
this weekend's three game home
stand against Ole Miss means to
War Eagle Baseball.
The Tigers, tied with Mississippi
State for the SEC's western divi­sion
lead (13-8), are only one game
up on the Rebels (12-9 in the
conference). With the top two
teams from each division going to
the play-offs, Auburn needs to win
two of three this weekend to insure
a play-off birth.
Should the State Bulldogs win at
least two of three against Alabama
this weekend and should Auburn
only manage one victory against
the Rebels, then the second play-off
spot would come down to — first,
the series record (which would
stand at 3-3) and then to most runs
scored in the over-all series
(Auburn scored one more run than
Ole Miss in winning two of three
games at Oxford).
"We're glad we are playing the
team we need to beat out in the
play-offs," Womack said. "I know
we can take them at home."
Womack said the players and
coaches have been very pleased
with the spirit and support of the
Auburn fans and said he expects as
good a crowd as ever this weekend.

"We'll be fired up for this
series," he said. "And we're
hoping the fans will be also."
The Bulldogs feature a good
hitting team with a steady staff
keyed by two plchers In particular.
The Tigers will probably see
lefty Jeff Calhoun (7-4, 3.52) and
righty Rick Zlbllch (6-4, 4.24) in
Saturday night's double-header.
And on Sunday Ole Miss will throw
one of three pitchers against the
War Eagles. Either Russ Davis
(5-3, 5.60), Johnny Adams (2-5,
6.30) or Randy Coleman (5-1, 4.27)
will get the nod for the final
contest. All three are righthanders.
Mississippi's hitting attack is
keyed by third baseman Mike
Pomeranz who has a team leading
.338 average. His 56 RBIs last
season led the conference and his
43 this season are not too far off
that pace.
Shortstop Marty McDermott
gives the Rebels a powerful lead-off
punch. McDermott is hitting a
sharp .320 and has pounded 10
home runs so far this year.
Catcher Gary Pickering is the
only other .300 hitter on the club at
.316. Rightfielder Mike Templeton
has already matched his team high
11 home runs as he is currently
leading this season's club in round-trippers.
Auburn first baseman Dom
Fuccl continues to lead a field full
of hot Auburn hitters with a blis­tering
.422 batting average. That
mark stands third in the SEC, just
two points ahead of teammate J.B.
Brown (.420). Fucci is one of the
top run scorers in the league (47)
and adds to these stats 12 doubles,
four triples, six homers, 28 RBIs
and 23 stolen bases (fourth in the
SEC).
Third baseman Steve Mont­gomery,
beside hitting .316 so far
this year, has connected for 10
home runs (tops on the squad). Pat
Keedy (.306) has nine homers and
leads the team in RBIs with 30.
Outfielders Gray Morrison and
Steve Renfroe are the only two
other Tigers hitting better than the
team average (.290) with averages
of .295 and .291 respectively.
Lynn Humphries picked up a win
against LSU to top the staff in
victories (6-3) while lefty Mark
Shiflett has chalked up a 5-2
record this season.
Saturday's double-header starts
at 6 p.m. while Sunday's single
game begins at 1:30 p.m.

Barfield doesn't know what to expect of scrimmage
By Barry Webne
Plainsman Sportswriter
With expectations high, Auburn
head football coach Doug Barfield
will lead his squad into Jordan-
Hare Stadium this Saturday at 1:30
p.m. for the annual A-Day football
game.
Barfield said, "I don't know what
to expect. We have been practicing
for 16 days now, and by the end of
this week we should know what
players can do what jobs.
"Our main problem right now is
that we are limited In the number
of players that we have. Up to now
we only have about 84 players, and
this will hurt us in depth.
Barfield added he was impressed
with spring training so far, and
that a number of players have
performed well. "We need to keep
up the good progress. The attitude
during the spring has been excel­lent.
Players show a lot of hustle
and determination, and that's
great."
Barfield also said if the A-Day
game turns out bad, it will give no
indication on what kind of season
the team will have. "I remember in
past years we've had great scrim­mages,
and then turned right
around to have a bad season," he
said.
The main purpose of this lntra-squad
scrimmage is to give the
coaches some kind of idea where
some players stand. Each player
will be evaluated on his per­formance
during the game.
"We will be looking for indi­vidual
progress and play," added
Barfield. "We need to look at the
players to see how we will put the
team together In the fall. We're
going to look for the right players
for the right positions. This will
give everyone a chance to play and
prove to us what they can do."
Barfield said there have been
quite a few impressive players so
far. "Our best positions look to be
the running backs on offense.
James Brooks and Joe Cribbs have
been working real hard. On
defense, Charles Wood, James
McKinney, Freddie Smith and
Alan Hardin have been consis­tently
improving."
The football team has played a
few scrimmages during their
spring workouts, and Barfield
terms them as being, "hot and
cold."
The same rules will govern the
scrimmage, but there will be some
controls. There will be no kick-offs,
and some other minor aspects will
be controlled.
"The game will eventually boil
down to an offensive and defensive
battle," said Barfield. "Every
player will get the chance to play,
and I expect that there will be a
fairly large turnout of interested
individuals."
The final day for spring football
practice will be on May 13. New
freshman recruits will report to
practice August 25.
identified, said the action will come
within the next several weeks.
' 'I don't know anything about it,''
Hayley said about the situation. "I
plan to be here for a long time."
Hayley has come under fire from
Auburn alumni the past year,
despite an improved overall ath­letic
program. The program is
apparently on its way to its highest
finish in the Southeastern Confer­ence
All-Sports race, and may .win
it.
However, Auburn's football and
basketball fortunes haven't fared
as well, which has raised the ire of
many alumni and fans.
Hayley came to Auburn in 1972
following the retirement of Jeff
Beard, who had served in that
capacity for more than 20 years. A
former Auburn assistant football
coach, Hayley came from the
coaching staff at the University of
North Carolina.
AU's Reese McCall
drafted in first round
Auburn tight end Reese McCall
was drafted by the Baltimore Colts
in the first round of the pro football
draft Tuesday. He is Auburn's first
player to go in the first round since
Terry Beasley went to San Fran­cisco
in 1972.
The 6-foot-7 tight end from Bir­mingham
said he was surprised
when Baltimore coach Ted Mar-chilbroda
called to tell him he was
the team's first choice.
"I was speechless," he said. "I
was impressed that the head coach
would call to tell me I had been,
drafted.
"I'm really happy I was drafted
by a championship contender and
look forward to talking to them."
McCall, the 25th player selected
in the draft, was the only Auburn
player to be drafted. Florida led
the Southeastern Conference in
number of players picked with six.

Auburn 'less than spectacular' at Drake, Florida State ...
The Tigers of Auburn
won their seventh
straight game Tuesday
night against Tuskegee,
18-8, as the War Eagle
bats continued to streak.
Auburn ran into trouble
early in the first game of
the LSU series when sur­prise
starter Tim Wil­liams
gave up a two-run
homer with nobody out in
the first inning. Southpaw
Mark Shifflet relieved
Williams, who picked up
the victory against Tus­kegee,
in the second
inning and cruised the
rest of the distance to
earn his fifth victory of
the season.
The War Eagle hitting
attack was at its best
over the weekend and
was keyed largely by
shortstop Pat Keedy and
first baseman Dom
Fucci. Keedy swatted
eight hits in nine official
at-bats including twc
doubles and nis eighth
home run of the season.
The sophomore also had
seven RPIs in the series.
Fucci was seven for ten
against LSU, including a
double, two triples and a
home run, and he batted
in five runs all in the
Sunday game.
J.B. Brown and Dan
Wiengarten each had a
four for ten series which
aided the 30-hit, three
game attack.
Lyriri Humphries (6-3)
picked up the win in the
second game of Satur­day's
double-header. The
tall righthander became
this year's winningest
Tiger by coming ln^

and pitching an inning
and a third of shutout
baseball.
With the sweep of the
Bayou Bengals, last
weekend and the victory
over Tuskegee, Auburn
upped its SEC record to
13-8 and it's overall mark
to 25-17. LSU dropped to
12-34 overall and 6-18 In
the conference.

By David Peeler
Plainsman Sportwritor
Maybe it was the calm
before the storm. Last
Saturday the Auburn
track team ran in its last
two meets before the SEC
championships and came
away with what were, in
general, less than spec­tacular
performances.
"We didn't slack off,"
Head Coach Mel Rosen
said, "but we didn't get
any sharper, like we have
been."
At the Florida State
Invitational, the Tigers
could manage only two
third places. Jon Fox ran
9:12.2 in the steeplechase
and Brian Burns ran to a
53.0 in the 400 meter
intermediate hurdles.
Burns, who lost by .5
second, had a chance to
win the event until he
stumbled on the last
hurdle.
The Auburn contingent
to the prestigious Drake
Relays fared somewhat
better, despite a couple of
injuries.
James Walker strained
a knee muscle in the
400-meter relay trials,
and had to scratch in the
finals. Freshman Steve
Strother stepped in and
helped the Tiger team of
Easley, Strother, Smith
and Glance to Auburn's
only first place of the
meet and a Drake Relays
record time of 39.31
seconds.
Willie Smith suffered
an injury similar to
Walker's in that race and
was unable to run the 400
meters. Again, Strother
picked up the slack and
finished fifth.
The injuries to half of
Auburn's Fantastic Four
are considered minor.
"The muscle strains were
enough to keep them
from full speed," Rosen
said, "but they'll be able
to get back into prac­tice."
Allan Peffer, Joe Toles
and John Tuttle helped
set two Auburn Univer­sity
records at Drake.
First, along with Theoldis
Abston, they ran a 7:23.4
in the two mile relay to
place third overall. Then,
teamed with Bob Hicks,
finish in the distance
medley with a 9:44.
"Hicks and Tuttle had
very fine performances
in the distance medley,"
they sped to a fifth place Rosen said.

Loneliest of the lonely
Thursday, May 4, 1978 The Auburn Plainsman
By Pat O'Connor
Plainsman Sportsriter
It has been said that kicker is the
loneliest position on a football
team. If that's true, Steve Nelson
must be one of the loneliest football
players in America.
Nelson is Auburn's backup
kicker. He has never kicked in a
game for Auburn, varsity or other­wise,
save two kickoffs he made in
theA-Day game last spring.
He practices right along with the
Tigers' record-setting Jorge
Portela every day, just as he has
ever since he and Portela walked
on the Auburn squad back in the
fall of 1976.
When Nelson came to Auburn
from Montgomery's Jeff Davis
High that fall, Neil O'Donoghue
was doing an excellent job of
kicking for Auburn, but he was a
senior and there was no obvious
replacement for the Irishman. Nel­son
thought he had a good chance
of becoming the starting kicker for
Auburn. He was wrong.
"About 12 kickers went out for
football that fall," Nelson ex­plained.
"By the time the JV
season got there, there were four
kickers left."
And the Tigers had four JV
games scheduled. Nelson said he
thought each kicker would get a
chance to kick in at least one game.
But fate sealed off that possibility.
In the first game against Florida,
Portela got the starting nod and
booted four field goals, winning the
game for Auburn.
That made it easy for the
coaches. Portela kicked the rest of
the JV season.
One of the other kickers quit and
around Christmas, Portela got a
scholarship for kicking the foot­ball.
When spring practice rolled
around in '77, three other kickers
Second string kicker refuses to give up
went out for the team, but Nelson
and Portela were the only two who
stuck it out until the A-Day game.
Portela kicked for both teams in
that game and so did Harris
Rabren, who was the starting nose
guard at the time. Nelson finally
got in to kick off with about four
minutes left in the game. Follow­ing
a score, he kicked off again that
day.
That was all the kicking he did
for Auburn that year. But Nelson
came back out the next fall. He
worked right along with Portela
and had his parents come from
Montgomery for the opening game
of the season against Arizona.
Nelson went to the Friday movie
wit
