Energy cuts to continue
Few students could help noticing
that the University has taken
strong measures to conserve
energy because of the coal short­age,
but according to Ben T.
Lanham, vice president for the
Administration, conservation
measures have been worth it and
will continue.
"I was surprised at how succes­sful
the program was," said
Lanham. "I expected to cut the
University's energy use to about 20
percent, but had no idea we would
be able to cut it back as far as we
did. Faculty and students really
pitched in to make it work."
Lanham sent out two memoran-das
requesting departments to
try and conserve energy and sug­gested
guidelines which they could
follow to do so.
A week after the first memoran­dum
had been sent out, Auburn's
electricity usage dropped 26 per­cent—
six percent more than the
State Public Service Commission
requested.
The next week after another
memorandum with further guide­lines
had been sent, the University
reduced electricity usage 38 per­cent.
There was a 60 percent
decrease, while students were on
quarter break.
Although the coal shortage prob­lem
appears to be over," sale"
Lanham, "we, will continue to cut
back on our original electricity use.
We are shooting to limit our
conservation to around 20 percent
and hold it there."
The University is currently re­moving
many of the voluntary
restrictions, which departments
enacted until the 20 percent cut­back
is achieved.
Currently night lighting is being
returned to the tennis courts, hand­ball
courts and swimming pool.
Lanham said further conservation
removals would depend upon what
department heads deemed ap­propriate.

Auburn world-record swimmer
Scott Spann has announced his
intentions to seek release from his
scholarship to transfer to the Uni­versity
of Texas, but the decision
will be left to new Auburn head
swim coach Richard Quick.
Spann went to Auburn Athletic
Director Lee Hayley Wednesday
and requested a release to transfer
from Auburn. Hayley denied the
release but told Spann the final
decision would be up to Quick.
Quick and Spann held a meeting
about the subject last night, but the
decision was unavailable at press
time.
Official NCAA rules state if a
student on athletic scholarship
wants to transfer out of the confer­ence,
he must be released from
his present school. If the release is
not obtained, there is no binding
contract to keep the student enroll­ed,
however, he will not be eligible
for financial aid for one year.
"I'm going to transfer whether I
get a release or not," said Spann.
' 'I have nothing against the athletic
program here at Auburn or against
Coach Quick, but I feel I will do
better in swimming if I follow
Coach Reese."
Spann gave several reasons for
wanting to leave Auburn. "The
facilities here are bad. Coach
Reese came here and raised Au­burn
to be a national swimming
power. A lot of swimmers, includ­ing
myself, came to Auburn be­cause
Reese was the coach. My
intentions will be to follow Reese to
Texas, or to transfer to Florida and
be coached by Reese's brother
Randy.
"Another reason why I want to
transfer to Texas," added Spann,
"is that they have a better athletic
program. Our pool is only 25
meters in length while the pool at
Texas is 50 meters long, which is
Olympic size.
"Almost every swimmer had to
spend $37.65 on swimming equip­ment
this season. The athletic
department wouldn't even pay for
our warm-ups. I know that many
swimmers feel the way I do about
transferring, and they will prob­ably
wait to see what happens with
the final decision. I regret
leaving Auburn, but I have to
follow Reese."
Another Auburn swimmer, Bill
Forrester, also held a meeting with
Hayley. "I went to Hayley as
honestly as possible*," Forrester
said. "I felt confident that the best
place for me In the future would
either be at the University of

Student charged
for forging check
An Auburn University student
charged with forging a stolen
check will be called before the Lee
County grand jury after it recon­venes
April 10, according to Securi­ty
Office Detective Joel Black.
However, the case has not yet
been placed on the jury's dockett.

Hayley says basketball coach to be named in two weeks
By Julie Spafford
Assistant News Editor
It has been more than two weeks
since head basketball coach Bob
Davis was fired, but his replace­ment
hasn't been named yet.
Reported names of possible can­didates
include Pat Foster, assis­tant
basketball coach at Arkansas;
Lee Rose, head coach at North
Carolina-Charlotte; Paul Lambert,
head coach at Southern Illinois;
Larry Chapman, head coach at
Auburn University-Montgomery;
and Herbert Greene, assistant
coach here at Auburn. Hayley said
it would be about two weeks before
a new coach is chosen.
President Harry Philpott, upon
the request of Athletic Director Lee
Hayley, formed a selection com­mittee
comprised of two Board of
Trustees members, two faculty
representatives, two student
representatives and two alumni
representatives. Hayley is chair­man
of the committee.
Speculation still remains regard­ing
the reason for Davis' dismissal.
Davis said he felt it was "a
culmination of the animosities that
have been gathering around the
football and basketball programs.''
Everyone seems to want Auburn on
top with good teams. He added,
however, "I don't know if we're
prepared to be at the top."
Philpott said the move for Davis'
dismissal "came as a recom­mendation
from Athletic Director
Hayley and was concurred then by
me." He said, "The issue was
discussed informally prior to the
meeting of the Board of Trustees
on Monday, March 13. A decision
was reached after the meeting as a
result of the discussion."
Philpott said, "Based on an
analysis of our record over the past
five years, we didn't make the kind
of progress we had hoped we would
make. We felt it was desirable to
make a coaching change. The
decision was based altogether on
the record."
Auburn ended the season with a
13-14 won-loss record but finished
fifth in the SEC, one notch above its
sixth place ranking one year ago.
"I still have a winning record,"
Davis said. "I have won nine more
than I have lost." Commenting
further on his won-loss record,
Davis said that he has a better
record than John Lotz of Florida
and Dale Brown of LSU. "We all
came in at the same time," Davis
said. Their contracts have been
extended, however.
Some rumors say that Davis was
fired because of the possibility of
an NCAA investigation. Davis said
this was "far-fetched." "Joe Hall
of Kentucky has been through an
investigation, and Kentucky didn't
fire him," he added.
Others feel that there was some
personal animosity against Davis
which caused him to be fired. "I'm
pretty outspoken," Davis said. "I
say things I feel have to be said.
This could have created some
animosity. But I think there's more
to it than that."
Many people have criticized the
timing of the announcement of his
dismissal. They feel it might have
ruined recruiting for next year.
Davis said that he felt the timing
was "terrible." "It very definitely
damaged this year's recruiting."
Hayley, however, said "When
the decision was reached, the two
most important things considered
were: 1) being completely fair with
outgoing staff members by telling
them as soon as possible and 2)
being totally honest with prospec­tive
students, letting them know
who the coach is going to be or at
least that there is going to be a
change."
Although he wouldn't mention
any specific names, Davis said he
has had several coaching positions
offered to him. "I'm not going to
rush into anything," he said.
Davis said he didn't feel his
dismissal would have any adverse
effect upon his career. He said, "I
think they'll look at my record. My
other 25 years of coaching will
count." Being fired is "not really a
problem," he added. "Some of the
top coaches in the country have
been fired." Davis said that "35
major jobs changed in coaching
this season alone...four in the SEC.
That means that 40 percent of the
conference will change coaches."
Davis said he had no hard
feelings about the situation. "The
students have been great. The
players have supported me 100
percent. I have a lot of friends. It's
been a good experience."
plained checks he mailed from the
dorm "failed to reach their desti­nation.
Black also said Holloway pos­sessed
seven sub-master keys,
which were obtained as the result
of a theft from the resident advisor.
He was released on bond.
Holloway resigned from Auburn
Jan. 18, but continued to live in the
dorm, and according to Black,
other charges against Holloway,
including board by fraud, burg­lary
and misdemeanor charges
relating to the stolen keys will be
presented to the Disciplinary Com­mittee
in the event he is enrolled in
school.
Holloway, who refused to com­ment,
is enrolled in school this
quarter, but Associate Dean of
Student Affairs Drew Ragan said
the University policy pertaining to
disciplinary action excludes re­leasing
names of those going
before the committee.
The case is still under Inves­tigation,
and Black said, "I'm not
sure at this time if federal authori­ties
will be getting into it."
Penalty for forgery hi Alabama
carries a prison sentence of two to
20 years.

Interviews will begin next week
to select a successor to Dean of
Student Affairs James E. Foy, who
will retire today after 28 years of
service to Auburn University.
Until a replacement for Foy is
announced, Dr. Drew Ragan will
be acting dean. Ragan said he will
perform the same duties as Foy
"all the way across the board," as
well as fulfill his own duties as
associate dean of student affairs.
In the past five years as associ­ate
dean, I have been working
closely with him so he's been
orienting me towards things I'm
not familiar with," Ragan said. "I
think that the staff involved will be
pleased when the final decision is
'made. It's a big job. I hope it's only
for a brief period, but I'm looking
forward to it."
The screening committee,
chaired by Dr. Wilbur Tincher,
dean of Student Services, has
narrowed the field of 144 applicants
to five candidates. The names of
the prospects will not be made
public, but President Harry M.
Philpott said there are people
"inside and outside" the Univer­sity
who are under consideration.
He said it was in the best interest of
the institutions and persons involv­ed
not to release the names.
Applications and nominations for
the position have been received
from throughout the nation, from
California to New York and from
North Dakota to Florida, Tincher
said.
According to Tincher, each inter­view
will last a day and a half, with
each nominee being brought to
campus seperately. The interviews
will begin Thursday, with the last
scheduled for April 21.
Although he does not know when
a successor will be chosen, Tincher
said the group will give its re­actions
to the president, who will
make the final selection.
"I'm sure it will be as soon as
possible, of course," Tincher said.
The screening committee was
appointed in January, although
Foy announced he would retire last
fall.
Philpott said, "Due to the fact
that there have been 144 applica­tions
and nominations for this
position, it has taken longer for the
committee to complete its search
than had been anticipated."
The interview committee will
consist of the screening committee
members and other groups within
the University, such as the staff of
Student Affairs, Tincher said.
Serving on the screening com­mittee
are Tincher, Dr. Bert Hitch­cock,
head of the English depart­ment;
Dr. Marylu McEwen, as­sistant
professor of counselor edu­cation;
and students Robblns Rich­ardson,
4GPG, and Al Thompson,
4PB. Also on the committee are
SGA President John Bush, SGA
vice president Jenelle Mims, OKD
President Bobby Lindsey, Motar
Board President, Ann McEwen,
IFC President, Pat Jones, and
Panhellenlc President Carol Allen.

Foy: the 'Wah Egul' has retired after 28 years
By John Carvalho
Editor
June 25, 1952, is not exactly a
date that is remembered and re­vered
by Auburn folk, but still
marks an important occasion in the
University's history.
It was on that day that then-
University President Ralph
Draughon announced that James
E. Foy would succeed T.C. Clark as
Dean of Student Affairs here.
The Plainsman that day praised
the appointment, labeling it "one of
the wisest, most progressive ap­pointments
ever made at API by
any president," an opinion many
students and alumni still share.
But today, a 28-year love affair
between Foy and Auburn Univers­ity
will come to an end. Today is
the day Foy announced would be
his last as Auburn's Dean of
Student Affairs.
J'He's tried not to think about it,"
says Foy's secretary, Sherrie
Conner Carlson. "He's been pack­ing
up things in his office, and gets
sentimental about some of the
things. It is unimaginable that he's
leaving."
Foy's person-to-person method
of dealing with students has made
him popular with students.' 'He has
a down-to-earth feeling with the
students," said Mrs. Carolyn
Draughon, widow of the former
University President. "But he can
be a strict disciplinarian, too."
Mrs. Draughon recalled one
handicap which Foy had to over­come
after arriving at Auburn:
Past connections with the Uni­versity
of Alabama.
Foy's family was certainly an
"Auburn family," with several
relatives having graduated here.
His father, a Sigma Nu, edited the
Orange and Blue, predecessor of
The Plainsman, In 1900 and was a
pitcher for the Tigers' champ­ionship
baseball team.
But most of his family lived in
Tuscaloosa, and when Foy's father
died, the rest of the family had to
pack up and move there, and Foy
attended the University of Ala­bama.
To pay for his education, Foy had
to work at four jobs. He worked for
NYA (a work-study program),
graded papers for a professor,
worked in a butcher shop Satur­days
and was a dealer for The
Saturday Evening Post, earning as
much as $3.75 in a single day.
"That was pretty good money in
those days," he recalled.
Of course, there's something
about the University of Alabama
that won't endear one to Auburn
students. Mrs. Draughon recalled,
"He didn't want the students to feel
he favored the University over
Auburn. Everyone teased him
about it, but he took it very well."
Foy has had his share of crises
during his tenure on the Plains, but
has managed to deal with them in
his own style. Take panty raids for
instance, those episodes of campus
unrest in the 1950s.
As Emmalou, Foy's wife re­called,
"It would go like this. A
beautiful, moonlit warm spring
night, and Jim would know the
phone would ring about ten or
eleven o'clock. 'Dean Foy, this is
Mag Dorm calling. The students
are gathering and headed over to
women's dorms.'

...Deans Cater and Foy tear the Auburn campus.
AUJMo
"Jim would call one or two pre­arranged
numbers and leave;
those called would call others and
all would gather on the campus
wherever the mob was headed.
Persons called included staff mem­bers
of his office and student
leaders, including the student body
president, but not any police.
"This trusted group would
gather with the mob, confront and
turn leaders, move them, direct
and after they dispersed, would
come home with a good time had be
all and no damage done."
Another controversial situation
Foy had to deal with was Inte­gration,
the most turbid campus
Issue In the South during the 1960s.
But, as Associate Dean of Stu­dent
Affairs Drew Ragan related,
the style was once again person-to-person.
"Dean Foy thought it was
advisable that we show Harold
Franklin (the first black enrolled
at Auburn) the way to the library,
where he was supposed to register. I
"We were stopped by a state
trooper who wouldn't let us into
Magnolia Dormitories, to cause the
student to walk by himself. Dean
Foy really became upset, because
as dean of student affairs he should
be able to walk in a University
dormitory."
But between panty raids and
integration, Foy has managed to
prevail to the point where this week
was proclaimed "War Eagle
Week" by the Auburn students,
complete with balloons and badges
honoring Foy.
The Student Affairs office also
had a special ceremony of its own,
as Foy presented the staff with his
"Last Will and Testament," which
included some strange inher­itances.
To Ragan, who was named act­ing
dean of student affairs until a
successor is named, Foy left his
messy deck and dying plants.
Auburn Union Director Lowell
Ledbetter was bequeathed with
Friday afternoon cheerleading re­sponsibilities,
in memory of some
fierce cheerleading contests be­tween
Mary Martin Hall (where
the Student Affairs Office is locat­ed)
and the Auburn Union on the
day before football games.
Organizations Director Charlotte
Davis was bequeathed "the ability
to discuss student affairs without
blushing."
The staff meeting ended with the
Student Affairs staff joining in a
rousing, final "Wah Egul," led by
Foy.

"HOW ABOUT A BIG «WAH EGUL?'"
...Foy leading cheers at pep rally—to become an established Auburn tradition.
mm*mmmmmmmmmmmmm
HOW TO BUY A DIAMOND
There are three approaches to
baying • flne diamond, or an
exceptional piece of dianeed
Jewelry!
1. There is the old fashioned
way of looking for a ring until you
find one you like. If it's in your
price range, buy It.. .enjoy it...
and never look back.
2. Buy from a discount opera­tion.
It's probably been priced
much more than its worth.. .but
then you can buy it for 50 per cent
off.
3. Learn something about dia­monds.
Learn about the cutting,
color, perfection and weight. Use
a microscope and know what to
look for. See a set of "Master
Color Stone"... and decide which
color will best fit your needs.
Select your unmounted diamond
and then select the exact ring for
the diamond.
At Wares we are more than
willing to take the time to explain
about diamonds., .yes, we be­lieve
#3 is best. If you do find the
subject of diamonds interesting
.. .and you would like to get the
best possible in a diamond, here
are a few facts which we present
as a service to you.
What color is a diamond?
Diamonds come in all colors...
pale blue, dark blue, yellow, pink,
green. The famous Hope diamond
is a dark blue. But these colois
are called "fancies" and are quite
rare and expensive.
The most prized diamonds to
many are the colorless, or pure
white diamonds. Most diamonds
have a very faint tinge of some
color...usually yellow. WHAT
COLOR SHOULD YOURS BE?
That's up to you. You may feel
you prefer the very finest color...
But it will cost more than a
diamond with a slight color in it.
We have a set of "certified"
diamonds.. .examples of each
color to assist you in understand­ing
this important point in
selecting a diamond. Once you
have seen all grades you will
better understand color grading
.. .and you will probably be able
to select the grade diamond that
you would prefer comparing
appearance and price.
What Shape is a Diamond?
Any shape. But there are six
shapes you see more of than
others: Brilliant, Marquise, Oval,
Emerald Cut, Pear and Heart
Shape. The Brilliant cut, as you
know, is also called a Round
diamond.
Marquise
<*al
Emerslc Cut
Pear Shape
Heart Shape
How Big is a Diamond?
A diamond's size is measured
by its weight — in carats. There
are 142 carats in an avoirdupois
ounce. Carats are divided into
points — 100 points to the carat.
So a 52 point diamond is just over
half a carat.
But:
a brilliant cut diamond of 1 carat
will appear to most people to be
bigger than an emerald cut
diamond of the same weight!
Oval and marquise cuts also tend
to seem a little larger per carat.
You might think that a 2-carat
stone would cost less per carat
than a I-carat diamond (because,
after all. a 2-pound loaf of bread
doesn't cost twice as much as a
I-pound loaf). But that is not the
case. Because size itself is a rarity
factor. There are far. far fewer
2-carat stones in existence than
1-carat stones — and they cost a
good deal more than tiwee as
much as I-carat stones of similar
quality in other respects.
DID SOMEBODY SAY
"FLAWLESS?"
The clarity of a diamond is
important. Almost all diamonds
contain tiny inclusions — minute
imperfedons included in them
when Jhey were formed • by
nature: To call a diamond "flaw­less/'
a diamond must have no
imperfections when viewed by an
expert under 10-power magnifica­tion
in good light!
Instead, each has its own
unique personality — a tiny
addition by nature which makes
one diamond unlike any other in
the world.
How Well Is It Cut?
Not all diamonds are cut to the
perfection of those shown in the
pictures. Fine diamonds, how­ever,
are. The cutting and
faceting is for the purpose of
making the most of the diamond's
ability to reflect and refract light
— to dazzle the beholder, as fine
diamonds have since time im­memorial.
.
Is that all there is to know about
Diamonds?
Not at all. What should a
guarantee cover when one pur­chases
a diamond. (Remember to
always get in writing the weight,
color, perfection, future trade in
value, and a chart to show
identification features in a dia­mond).
How about the mounting
. . . after selecting the diamond
it's now THE important pan. At
Wares we offer over 400 styles by
Orange Blossom, Artcarved. Ja-bel.
Advance and Diane.
When you have the lime...
come to Wares for a chat about
diamonds. We answer questions
honestly. We are proud of our 30
years in the American Gem
Society. We have the equipment
needed to properly grade dia­monds.
We always have the time
for you... Downtown or in Wares
at the Village Mall.
At Wares we recommend that
one never purchase a diamond
without having the opportunity to
first see the diamond under a
Diamond-scope. (The Diamond-scope
is a scientifically designed
instrument with back light and
bi-optical advantages never offer­ed
in a hand magnification. Ware
jewelers will be happy to show
you examples of all grades of
perfection.. using their dia-mondscope.

ISRAEL OFFERS NEW FORMULA FOR MID­EAST
PEACE—Israel proposed a new formula
for the Middle East peace talks which Deputy
Prime Minister Yigael Yadin called a "far-reaching
step" toward meeting Egypt's demand
for Palestinian self-determination. The formula
calls for "participation" of the West Bank and
Gaza Strip Palestinians in determining their own
future. Although Israel was reportedly consider­ing
sending Defense Minister Ezer Weizman to
Egypt to reopen negotiations on a possible
Israeli withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula, no
firm signs of an immediate breakthrough in
reviving the peace talks has been made.

CONSTRUCTION PICKETS DETER SOME
MINERS—Most coal miners returned to work
Monday despite picketing by construction work­ers
in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Penn­sylvania
and West Virginia. (These workers
build the tunnels and aboveground facilities at
the mine sites.) About 19,000 returning miners
refused to cross picket lines, costing them a $100
bonus for returning to work on the first day. The
coal miners' new contract, which gives them a 39
percent increase in wages and benefits, was
approved by 57 percent of the 160,000 striking
miners, thus ending the 111-day strme. Mean­while,
in Washington, bargainers were writing
final contract terms Monday for some 10,000
striking construction workers.
WALLENDA BURIED-Karl Wallenda, the 73-
year-old circus star who fell to his death a week
ago, was buried in Sarasota, Florida, Monday.
Wallenda fell ten stories from a high wire strung
between two hotels in San Juan, Puerto Rico. At
his wake in the Robarts Sports Arena, a 24 foot
balance pole hung over his bronze coffin in
memory of Wallenda's 58 years on the high wire.
During those years, Wallenda survived numer­ous
accidents, including his family's famous
7-man pyramid which toppled from the high wire
in 1962 killing two and paralyzing Wallenda's son
from the waist down. Wallenda was praised by
his peers as the greatest of the high wire
walkers.

GADSDEN CITY COMMISSION SAYS "NO" TO
SCLC ULTIMATUM-Gadsden City Commission
turned down a Southern Christian Leadership
Conference (SCLC) ultimatum demanding that
six law enforcement officers involved in the fatal
shooting of Collis Madden, Jr., on January 20, be
suspended without pay. Mayor Steve Means said
his administration "has never yielded to threats
or ultimatums and doesn't intend to now." The
Etowah County grand jury cleared the officers of
any blame, but Means said that if any indict­ments
are issued by a federal grand jury, the
proper action will be taken.

Athletes' rights
When an athlete signs a grant-in-aid with Auburn University, does he also
sign away his rights?
The difficulties swimmers Scott Spann and Billy Forrester have encountered
in their efforts to transfer to the University of Texas make us wonder.
We agree that it's a shame Eddie Resse got away. He's one of the top coaches
in the nation, and deserves most of the credit for developing Auburn into a
national swimming power.
And we feel somewhat sad that many of Auburn's finest swimmers will
probably follow Reese to Texas. It's always a shame when a school's
well-developed athletic program is hurt in such a way.
However, we consider it an outrage that the Auburn Athletic Department
actually has the power to keep Spann, Forrester and company off scholarship
for one year by refusing to release them from their scholarships.
Come on, folks. These young men deserve the right to transfer wherever they
please, without Auburn University getting in the way.
Loyalty is one thing. Selfish disregard for an individual's rights is another.
Final tribute
Well, the day has arrived.
Since September, people have anticipated March 31, 1978 with a certain
degree of dread, because it marks Dean of Student Affairs James Foy's last day
at his job.
The tributes have been many. "War Eagle Week," renaming the Student
Union Building for him...Dean Foy certainly deserves these honors.
He's been the students' best friend, always there when a student
organization has needed help. He's helped us at The Plainsman a lot, and
we're deeply grateful for it.
It'll be kind of different around Auburn without Dean Foy. He's said that
when he resigns, that'll be it, because he doesn't want to interfere with his
successor.
Today also marks the beginning of a new era for Auburn. We're not going to
dare imply that Auburn will be a better place because of Dean Toy's
retirement, but this new era certainly has a good foundation from which to
begin.
Foy has left an example for all University officials to follow. Auburn is lucky
to have had him here.
If a tree falls in the forest, but
nobody's around, does that tree still
make a noise?
Don't spend too much time con­templating
this overly weighty ques­tion;
consider this instead:
If the SGA doesn't make any noise,
even if people are around, should it
feel chagrined because it's ignored?
As you can see, our SGA is in much
the same dilemma as the solitary tree,
but, because the SGA is supposed to
represent us, the Auburn students, we
should be more concerned about its
predicament.
The problem is simple: our SGA
simply doesn't make enough noise.
No one knows they're there: neither
the administration nor, in some cases,
the students.
. I can recall past SGA administra­tions.
. .now there were some folks
who weren't afraid to speak out on
important issues.
SGA senators would submit guest
columns, accusing the administration
of rigging an opinion poll on
mandatory attendance, starting a mail
campaign to change the dormitory
visitation rules, and this was just last
year, under Buck Ruffin's administra­tion.
In fact, three out of the last four
SGA administrations have had their
share of officials who weren't afraid to
ruffle a few feathers up at Samford
Hall, if it meant getting someone to
listen.
Mistreatment
The recent dismissal of basketball coach Bob Davis was another example of
Auburn University's inept capability to handle difficult situations.
We don't necessarily question the right of the University to dismiss its
coaches, but the way it was handled was an affront to Davis and to the school.
Despite a declining record the past two years, Davis did a lot for Auburn
basketball. He deserved to be treated better than he was.
The timing of the dismissal was perhaps the.worst part. It was obviously done
with complete disregard for the Auburn basketball program. It came right in
the middle of the recruiting season, when Davis and his staff had lined up
several outstanding athletes to play for Auburn. School officials should have
either dismissed Davis immediately following the. last game, or should have
gotten a new coach lined up before making the dismissal.
Ten days before his dismissal he was given assurance he was on safe ground
by Dr. Harry Philpott. It's hard to believe things could have changed that
quickly. Davis had a job offer at the time and turned it down after Philpott's
assurance.
Davis was never given a chance to defend himself. Any employee deserves
the privilege to face his accusers. Davis wasn't given that, chance.
The way the situation was handled raises serious questions about Auburn's
desire to have a winning athletic program.
Sometimes coaching changes are necessary. However, they should be
handled in a way that helps the program, not hurt it, as was the case in the
Davis dismissal.
The Auburn
John
Carvalho
But this year's administration:
some of my -best friends, a great
bunch of folks, but definitely not
qualified to voice the students'
opinions.
Let's look at some pretty convincing
evidence: Have you read any guest
editorials or letters to the editor from
any SGA officers or senators?
There haven't been any guest
editorials, and I can recall only one
instance when a senator asked if he
could write one. His point was better
served by a letter to the editor, which
he wrote.
There have been a small number of
other letters written by SGA people,
but the most controversial letter
ripped The Plainsman for lack of SGA
coverage.
Other than that, well, our senators
have utilized few opportunities to
speak out on campus issues.
The only issue I recall the SGA
really getting behind concerned the
fall quarter Health Center contro­versy.
The Senate passed a resolution
condemning the administration,
University President Harry Philpott in
particular, for not implementing
University Health Committee
recommendations, and for using
"secret meetings." The Senate re­quested
that the letter be sent to all
state newspapers for publication.
That action was commend­able
: out Senate and SGA was giving
the impression that they weren't
going to take "nothing' offa
nobody," so to speak.
»
But that was an exception; it
should have been the rule. The SGA
got reamed on Ped Mall—the Univer­sity
Traffic and Parking Committee
voted down the proposal quite tidily
and quickly. And the SGA's re­sponse?
No one's contacted The
Plainsman about responding to the
University's action. The SGA went
down and stayed down.
Consider, too, the CIRUNA fund­ing
controversy. CIRUNA, an Auburn
organization then planning to go to
New York City for a National Model
United Nations conference, had asked
for a Student Activities Fees alloca­tion.
The Senate approveda $1000
allocation, which was then vetoed by
Philpott after Dean of Student Affairs
James Foy agreed that the request
should be turned down.
CIRUNA may or may not deserve
funding from Student Activities Fees,
but that is irrelevant. What matters is
that the administration vetoed a
recommendation the students had
made concerning student fees.
The SGA's response to this? Ap­parent
surrender. They took it on the
chin and accepted it. The administra­tion
was telling us how to spend our
money, and the SGA was letting
them do it.
Does the SGA care? Don't they
take their responsiblity for represent­ing
students seriously?
Despite this year's SGA's actions, I
still don't believe the SGA is just a
game, a vehicle to get someone into
professional school, although it cer­tainly
does help, as many of this year's
SGA members can attest.
But it's more than that. The SGA is
potentially the most powerful organ­ization
on campus. Viable, concerned
leadership can make it that way.
With elections coming up, we
should take a close look at the
candidates. The meek and mild
pre-professionals should be discarded
immediately. The bold, concerned
student who promises to make some
noise to get our views heard is the type
of candidate we should look for.
Let's hope that such people will be
elected (sorry, no endorsements in
this column). Maybe next year's SGA
will be more vocal than this past year's
group.
Think back to the beginning of this
column: If a tree falls in the forest,
but nobody's around, does the tree
still make a noise?
We've been watching the SGA-for
a year now, waiting for it to make a
noise. The crowd is dwindling and
becoming more disinterested.
SGA, it's your move now. . .but
then, it's always been that way.
Dreams of being
I wish I were a Dodger. I've wanted
to don the blue and white of L.A. ever
since I played for the pee wee league
Dodgers in my hometown.
I had it all planned out as a kid. I
figured Don Drysdale would be
retiring about the time I came up to,
take his place. And during the off
season I could make Vitalis commer­cials
just like the big leaguers.
I even had Drysdale's motion
perfected. He always showed the ball
to the batters from behind his back
right before he fired it home for a
strike.
I wanted to be a Dodger so badly I
dreamed about just meeting some of
the players.
I was in Heaven the day Beaver
Cleaver (you remember Leave it to
Beaver) and Whitey Whitney called
Don Drysdale on the phone. I had it
planned for me to do the same thing
until the operator told them the call
cost them $9-27.
That's the way all my fantasies of
spending springs in Dodgertown have
gone. Drysdale retired before I was
ready for the majors, and Vitalis went
the way of Burma Shave.
So here I am, a lonely ex-sports-writer
turned newswriter. I know I'll
never make it big, but I know
somebody who will.
I have a friend, Joe Beckwith, who
will be playing AAA ball for the
Dodgers this year. I subscribed to The
Sporting News last summer when Joe
was playing AA just so I could see his
name in the box scores.
Joe is the hometown hero I always
wanted to be, and even though he's
in the minors now, everybody here
knows he'll be in the big leagues in a
couple of years.
I saw Joe at the Dodgers' spring
camp in Vero Beach over spring
break. He wasn't pitching the day I
saw him. The Dodgers were playing
the Twins that day and Joe watched
from the stands. His turn to pitch
Dick
Parker
would come the next week against the
Braves.
I sat with Joe in the left-field stands
while his former Auburn teammate
Davis May threw for the Twins.
(I never wanted to be a Twin. Why
would anyone want to be a Twin
when he could be a Dodger?)
I could tell Joe was not entirely
satisfied with his status on the club.
He had only pitched one inning all
spring, and that was late in the game
against the scrubs.
But I called him early this week
after he had pitched three strong
middle innings against the Braves,
and he was a lot happier. The
Dodgers had assigned him to the
AAA team in Albequerque and he
seemed pleased.
Joe said there isn't much pressure
on anybody at spring training, except
for guys like him trying to
make the club. Most everybody is
relaxed and just out for a good time.
The game I went to was on Saint
Patrick's Day, and the Dodgers wore
green caps instead of blue. The bases
were green, too. It was almost a
carnival atmosphere.
I really liked the outfield fence—a
white line painted on the palm trees
that ringed the field. And it was neat
the way the kids could walk right
down into the bullpen between
innings to talk to the pitchers.
One day those kids will be begging
for Joe Beckwith's autograph the way
we begged for Don Drysdale's and
Sandy Koufax's in years gone by.
And there will be a man up in the
stands who will think I'm sitting
beside him. But in my heart I'll be
out there on the mound with Vitals
under my cap showing the batters the
ball from behind my'back right before
I fire it home for a strike.

The Auburn Plainsman is the student-edited newspaper of
Auburn University. Signed columns represent the opinion of
the writer, while unsigned editorials represent the opinion
of The Plainsman's Editorial Board.
"Come on ya'll. Get out there and
vote. It's your duty as students."
You've heard it before and you'll
hear it again now, because it's
election time again, and that means
everyone is going to start bombarding
you with the old "rah, rah get out
and vote" spiel. This year, why don't
you ignore it? .
Every year people running tor office
complain about how apathetic
Auburn voters are and how they must
get out and vote. I believe Auburn
voters have a right to be apathetic.
Why should they vote for candi­dates
they probably know nothing
about and whom they probably will
never hear from again if they elect?
This year get smart and don't
vote—unless you know who
running.
I don't just mean knowing the
candidate's name, or whether he is a
1 Fiji or a KA or an independent, or
even knowing what he is promising to
do. I mean knowing how hard he will
work and what he will do.
The task isn't all that easy. In some
elections it may be possible to
determine this from a candidate's
campaign, but this just isn't so in thr
Loveliest Village. .
At Auburn, instead of basing your
vote on issues, students are expected
is
Hick
Harmon
to base it on a well-posed poster, a
catchy slogan and a week of
door-knocking, hand-shaking and
impressive but meaningless flyers.
There is also the invaluable Plains­man
elections supplement, which
consists of platforms (statements
where the candidate offers to ex­change
a chicken in every pot for a
turkey in every office) and meaning­less
facts about the candidate such as
grade point, past positions and
honors. These facts are. meaningless
because it doesn't take brains or
popularity to get things done in the
SGA—just hard work.
So if a student cannot find out
about a candidate what is he supposed
to do? The answer, my friends, is not
to vote.
Just because there are slots on the
ballot doesn't mean you have to mark
them. There is no reason you have to
vote for a dozen off-campus senators
you don't know by picking out the
names that have a nice ring to it.
Leave it blank if there's no one worth
voting for.
This election just vote for the
people you know and that you think
will do a good job. Don't just vote for
a catchy slogan.
What's more, don't just not vote
for a candidate because you don't
know him. Call him up and say you
aren't going to vote for him unless
you get to know him.
Steele Holman, an ex-Plainsman
editor who is currently working with
the Associated Press, used to tell
students that this is turkey season:
one week out of the year, when*
students are given a license to take pot
shots at candidates "who have delu­sions
of adequacy."
Turkey shooting is not only fun but
productive. The way you go about it is
by first baiting the turkey- with your
vote or in this case the lack of it, and
then firing.
There are a lot of questions that you
can fire and the promises that most of
the candidates have made make pretty
large targets.
If the candidate has not served in
the SGA he is a prime target. You
might ask him how someone with his
inexperience can make the outlandish
promises he has almost certainly
made.
If he has served in the SGA, the
turkey is a sitting duck for certain
embarrassing questions about pedes­trian
mall, his representation of his
constituency, appointing instead of
electing a student liaison, etc.
The promises are normally easy
targets if students would only fire at
them. I still remember the girl who
ran for Miss Auburn on a platform
that she would widen Wire Roadr
without students ever bothering to ask
her how she planned to do it.
This year, don't vote unless there is
a candidate you believe will do a good
job. More importantly, try to find out
whether the candidate will or won't
do a good job by going turkey
hunting.
Not only is this the lone time when
you can rale potshots at turkeys and
have them do some good, but judging
from past experience, it mav be the
only time you will see the candidates.
So take advantage of the season,
and happy hunting!

'Closed-minded people
killed Pedestrian Mall'
Editor, The Plainsman:
I can't believe it! It couldn't be
true! I thought when I left the
University of North Alabama that f
would get away from the closed-minded
small college campus. In­stead,
I came to a large closed-minded
university with the same closed-minded
people controlling the wel­fare
of the student. I'm speaking of
the Traffic and Parking Committee in
particular.
How can the Traffic and Parking
Committee kill the Pedestrian Mall
within five minutes of its presentation
and declare there isn't enough evi­dence
for it to be feasible? Why don'r
these people on the committee open
their eyes and look around; they
might find a few reasons. How about
the congestion of cars and people
lined up outside Haley Center and'
Thach Hall? Trying to get through
there between classes is like threading
a needle.
If this committee is destined to
control the lives of the student body,
no to mention safety, then it's time to
speak up and make a change. For
convenience alone, it would be nice if
the students from Carolyn Draughon
Village had another option besides
cars and walking to get to class, but
that's another story in itself.
Jann Swaim, 3IND
For the first time in recent years,
only two candidates are seeking the
SGA Presidency. There has been talk
abou* the possibility of asking both to
debate the issues in a live broadcast to
be aired by WEGL. It is an idea that
deserves close consideration.
Normally, WEGL airs a question-and-
answer session with all major
candidates participating. While the
show has been well-produced and
informative in the past, an open
debate would challenge the candi­dates
to know the issues and help
bring an end to the assumption that
the SGA President is merely a resume
writer seeking personal glory.
Those not in favor of the debate
have a number of good arguments,
but it seems the possible advantages
outweigh the disadvantages.
First, the debate might generate
listener interest. A question-and-answer-
session doesn't sound nearly as
exciting. If properly monitored and
free of petty observations, then
remarks and insights could extend
over a broad range of topics.
Also, a debate to be heard by a
large number of voters would force
serious candidates to be well-educated
on every issue affecting the Auburn
Dewey
English
students. Enthusiasm and imagina­tion
demonstrated on the air might be
the same demonstrated in office.
Detractors of the idea say the
contenders would not be receptive to
a debate. Perhaps the assumed
favorite would decline the invitation
much as Richard Nixon refused to
debate Democratic presidential
nominee George McGovern in 1972.
Nixon had learned his lesson.
Ahead in the polls in the Presidential
race of I960, he agreed to debate the
youthful John F. Kennedy on national
television for three nights. While
Nixon seemed nervous and tense,
Kennedy exuded confidence and wit
and was generally declared the victor
by political experts.
Yet there is never really a clear cut
favorite or underdog in the SGA
Presidential race. A large block of
voters, the unsure, generally wait
until election day to decide how they
will cast their ballot. Many times this
group is swayed by snappy signs and
posters. A debate just might make a
candidate's proposals for student
government the most important issue,
while attention getters would take a
back seat.
Factors that a candidate might have
in his favor would certainly be
pointed out. A wealth of or lack of
experience, an integral understanding
of problems that confront the SGA or
simply leadership ability would be
discussed.
The idea of a debate is just that, an
idea. But it is a good one and this year
would be a good time to try it out.
The question-and-answer show is
practical for a giant group of jockey­ing
contenders, but a debate is
practical for only two office seekers.
Let them be heard and let them
exchange their views. The election
would mean more to the students
than the multicolored insanity of
election week. And it could mean
much more to the future of Auburn
University's student government.
'Landlord Tenant Advisory
Board can help students'
Speakin' of sports
'Either give minor sports full support, or admit you don't care'
Editor, The Plainsman:
"Nowhere else but Auburn" is
it easier for an athlete or team to
win a Southeastern Conference
title (or a high NCAA finish) than
to make the front page of the
sports section to his school news­paper.'
Perhaps Auburn students would
support "minor" sports if The
Plainsman gave better coverage
and tried to help the readers
understand these sports. For ex­ample,
last quarter Auburn hosted
the SEC swim meet and indoor
track meet. These were two of the
best athletic events in the South
this year, yet The Plainsman failed
to publish their time schedules. To
help generate student interest, The
Plainsman should give information
(i.e. athletes and teams to watch,
types of scoring, times, past re­sults,
etc.) about the meet.
In the token articles The Plains­man
carries, the subject is usually
James Walker, Harvey Glance,
Tony Easley, Willie Smith, Scott
Spann or Bill Forrester. These ath­letes
have* done more for their
school and sport than they could
ever be given credit for, but good
teams are made of other people
besides the superstars. A good
example of this is the Auburn
basketball team. Stan Pietkiewicz
and Mike Mitchell were two of the
best players around, but they were
not enough to make the team
good.
The Plainsman seems to believe
that as a team improves, more
people will be interested in the
team, and since moire people are
involved, the team should receive
more press coverage. However:
1) The "minor" sports at
Auburn are doing great, yet
'Don't show obvious favoritism toward one sport'
Editor, The Plainsman:
, I have always enjoyed reading
The Plainsman on Thursdays. I
think the paper is excellent and a
credit to this school. However, I
was very disappointed with the
sports sectionJlast week and cannot
hold my silence.
Everyone who follows Auburn
sports is well aware that our overall
program has been slipping in the
last few years. Last Saturday the
Auburn indoor track team did a lot
to restore our good name. The
Tiger tracksters crushed perennial
power Tennessee and archrival
Alabama to claim their second
straight indoor title in the SEC.
Our team boasts some of the best
athletes in the country and is
currently ranked second only to
Villanova nationally. More impor­tantly,
the tracksters did some­thing
Saturday that most Auburn
teams have failed to do: beat
Alabama.
Amazingly, all this information
was divulged on the third page of
the sports section. What was
viewed more important by the
Plainsman sports staff? Two,
front-page articles on Auburn's
inept basketball team, one of
which was Brad Davis' fourth or
fifth excuse article on why the
Tiger basketball team cannot win.
Do not get me wrong, I really
like Auburn basketball and I have
atended most of our games. But
let's stick to the facts: the basket­ball
team finished 8-10 in the SEC
and 13-14 overall with no chance
of a .500 season, while our track
team traveled to Detroit, and
finished second, having a solid
chance to win the NCAA title.
In the future let us give credit
where credit is due and not show
obvious favoritism to one sport.

student and Plainsman support
continues to be poor.
2) The University of Alabama's
newspaper, Crimson White, gives
its swim team excellent coverage.
As a result, the natatorium is
always filled, the cheerleaders and
the band atend sometimes, and
latecomers fail to get a seat. The
informed student body prides itself
with its nationally-ranked swim
program. (How many Auburn
students know that the 1978 swim
team and track team got second in
the NCAA?)
After three years at Auburn, I'm
not sure if The Plainsman really
cares about the "minor" sports. If
you (The Plainsman) don't care,
have the guts to admit it. But if
you do care, give these teams your
full support. The swimming staff is
leaving Auburn this year, and
when they leave, they won't have
to worry about missing Plainsman,
support.
Auburn is tied with LSU in
competition for the annual Bernie
Moor All-Sports Trophy, given to
the SEC school with the best
all-around athletic program. With
good school support this spring,
the "minor" sports could help win
a major award for Auburn.
Jim Dunaway, 3PM I
Editor. The Plainsman:
With the advent of spring quarter,
many students who are planning to
move will begin the hunt for new
places of residence for the summer
and fall quarters. It is during this time
, that students need to be particularity
cautions when looking for a new place
to live. By cautious I mean that the
student should make sure he knows
exactly what he or she is getting into,
to avoid future conflicts with the
landlord of the dwelling.
If a problem does arise where a
student feels his rights as a tenant
have been violated, the student is
encouraged to present a formal
complaint before the Landlord
Tenant Advisory Board. The board is
a forum composed of leaders of the
Universty as well as local realtors, who
listen to complaints filed and make
dicisions as to who is to be reconciled
in a particular case. The Landlord
Tenant Advisory Board is one defense
mechanism that the student has to
insure his rights as a tenant if and
when they are violated and should be
taken advantage of if a questionable
situation arises.

1 Administration priorities
not in students' interest'
Editor, The Plainsman:
I always thought Auburn University
kept the student's interests in mind
when appropriating funds for various
school projects. However, this doesn't
seem to have been the case in recent
months. The administration seems to
have their priorities in the wrong
order.
The administration was foolish to
approve $3.3 million to build ad­ditional
seating when the stadium has
yet to be filled to capacity. The
bubble to cover the football practice
field is another example of the current
mismanagement of funds. There is
absolutely no reasonalbe justification
for its purchase. If the football team is
going to have to play in the open,
whey practice under a dome? This
seems very illogical, but then this" is
Auburn. The weather has never
affected practice in the past. Few, if
any universities have a domed practice
field. Alabama doesn't have one, and
they seem to be doing just fine
without one. I am anot sure of Coach
Barfield's reasoning, but I doubt a
dome will improve Auburn's chances
of winning a game.
The campus housing shortage is
worsening each year. The cut-off
deadline for accepting campus
housing applications was Feb. 12.
This was two weeks earlier than last
year. Enrollment for fall quarter, 1978
is expected to increase by 8 percent
over last year's fall quarter enroll­ment.
I am sure the money being
spent on the expansion of the stadium
could have been put to better use
building facilities to help alleviate the
housing shortage.
Lastly, by refusing the SGA grant
to CIRUNA, Auburn has damaged its
reputation as a university concerned
with the advancement of academic
activities. The trip may have only
directly benefited a small group of
people, but the entire University
would have indirectly benefited from
it. Allocation of the money would,
have shown that Auburn is interested
id academics at well aSsborfs. As it
stand now, Auburn considers academ­ics
second to sports.
It is my hope that the adminis­tration
wdl rearrange its priorities
before it considers appropriating
money for any other projects. Many
more important issues are at hand
than new offices for Coach Barfield
and his staff, the renovation of Sewell
Hall and a new recruiting loungs.

Editor, The Plainsman:
I am writing regarding an incident
which occurred between the owner of
a fast food restaurant in Auburn and
myself, to avoid the unfortunate
situation from being repeated.
My position was morning waitress.
The owner quoted my wages as $2.50
per hour, which he apparently
thought was high since he told me he
had people working for him for $1.50
to $2 per hour. I explained to him I
was a student spouse and part-time
student, due to those circumstances
that salary was unacceptable. Later
that evening, he phoned me at home,
offering me the $2.50 per hour. After
discussing the situation, and since
there was a lack of other jobs, my
husband and I felt it best to take his
offer.
I worked one eight-hour shift and it
seemed the menu was being ex­panded
to include breakfast. But, the
next day he cut my hours, saying since
I was earning more than his other
employees and business was slow, he
deemed it necessary to do this. I
worked a few half-days and quit to
work two other more stable part-time
jobs.
I returned for my paycheck on
several occasions. Finally, I was told
he couldn't locate it, or my husband
had picked it up. After some coaxing,
he removed it from his back pocket.
The excuse for the previous lies was an
incorrect spelling of my name on the
check. He willingly cashed my check,
because he said it was his error. At
first the check looked short. He said,
"My bookkeeper handles my
checks."
I was correct: xlbs. pay rate on the
check was $2 per hour, not the $2.50
originally agreed upon. When I
phoned him regarding this, he was
quite rude to me and ended our
conversation by hanging up on me.
My husband and I went to his

Reader commends 'forgotten
'Anything Goes' lead dancers
Editor, The Plainsman:
In regard to Dave White's com­ments
on the University production of
"Anything Goes," I agree whole­heartedly
with him on the success of
the play and whould like to commend
the cast on an excellent performance.
However, Dave did leave an impor­tant
detail out of the article. He failed
to mention the two female lead
dancers, Dana Moore, 3SMU, and
Nancy Bleiler, 2TH, who were not
only as "classy and sharp" as Mike
Lee and Ronnie DcVane, but proved
to be more than adequate partners,
adding a flare of romance to the
mirror daoce, "All Through The
Night," which the four performed in
Act II.
I feel it was necessary to mention
these two who White failed to
comment on—by mistake I'm sure.

establishment that evening and again
were treated rudely. He lied, stating
$2.00 per hour were correct wages,
and he owed me nothing. His final
remark was that if we didn't like it to
take him to court.
We cannot afford to exercise our
legal rights, because as the cost for
flung suit is more than the money
involved ($8.75). In lieu of the small
amount of money involved and the
problem this man is willing to cause, I
doubt the validity of his contribution
to Auburn, considering all the fast
food establishments we now have.
Due to the many persons seeking
employment here, it is easy for
unscrupulous business owners to take
advantage of employees, especially
students. I can see how a business
owner can get out of paying mini­mum
wage, but cheating employees
out of their earned income is morally
unjust and illegal.
I've called Mr. Henderson (the
lawyer on campus), the Downtown
Merchants Association, County
Court, Better Business Bureau and the
Chamber of Commerce, all to no
avail. My only legal course of action is
to file with the small claims court,
costing $10. Recovery of the money is
unimportant if this letter can prevent
other services from falling prey to
people like this man.

Long-distance
now 'zero-plus'
By Joel Martin
Plainsman Staff Writer
A new long distance
dialing system will be
available to all Auburn
telephone customers be­ginning
Saturday, April 1.
The new system will
save time in making op­erator-
assisted calls, but
as far as saving money
goes, look for a reduction
in your phone bill of zero.
It is called zero-plus
dialing, and will be pro­vided
by a Traffic Service
Postition System (TSPS),
which uses computerized,
pushbutton operator con­soles,
instead of the tradi­tional
cord switchboards.
Everyone with 821, 826
and 887 numbers will be
affected. The same ser­vice
will be provided for
Opellka a year from now.
Joe Massinglll, South
Central Bell Group Man­ager,
said the reason for
the staggering Is econom­ical.
With zero-plus, you
first dial "0," then the
area code (if different
from your own), and the
number. The operator
comes on the line briefly
to determine the type of
call you are making.
It is advantageous to
use zero-plus only when
making operator-assisted
calls. One-plus dialing
(direct-dialed, station-to-station)
will be unaffect­ed.
TSPS will also make it
possible for persons to
place direct dial calls
from pay phones. Includ­ed
in the new system is
still another innovation
called Automated Coin
Toll Service (ACTS),
which will automatically
tell customers what they
owe. An automated voice
will tell them.

You know the old saying, "Water,

of the girls seems to be of similar mind.

Rec department offers
water safety course
The Auburn Recreation
Department will offer a
Water Safety Instruction
course from April 10
through May 17 on Mon­day
and Wednesday
nights from 7 to 9:30.
A $10 fee will be pay­able
to the instructor. For
more information contact
Parri Gross, 887-6020.
Enjoy the sun and the
music as WEGL presents
"Takin' it to the Con­course"
from 8 a.m. until
4 p.m.
In addition to the
music, albums and 45's
will be given away, and
spring quarter schedule
guides will be available.
"Listen to win an
album," said Music Di­rector
Jimmy Latham,
3BSC.
"The announcer will
broadcast the time to
win. Just be the correct
person to come to the
concourse and ask us for
the album."
Among the albums to
be given away are the
new Jefferson Starship
LP "Earth," and the Ave­rage
White Band's latest
release, "Warmer Com­munications."
Station Manager Dan
Griffin, said the purpose
of the event is "to get
WEGL more well-known
among the students and
to give them a chance to
talk to the staff.
"Members of the staff
will be available to
answer questions about
the station as well as
solicit comments about
programming. "We will
be discussing with listen­ers
how we can better
serve their public inter­est,"
Latham said.

Reese, or at Texas with
Coach Reese. Hayle"
talked to me like I was a
baby. He kept repeating
that I should be loyal to
Auburn. Several mem­bers
on the* swim team
have talked with Hayley
about releases and got
the same reaction. I'm
going to wait and see
what the final decision is
before I decide."
It is reported that sev­eral
other swimmers
wish to follow in the foot­steps
of Spann. However,
they have Indicated they
want to talk to Quick
before making a final
decision.
"I'm trying to persuade
them to stay in every way
I can," Hayley added.
"If they have their mind
set on transferring I
won't stand in their way.
"We have made great
strides in swimming here
at Auburn. Our facilities
are small, but we are In
the process of planning a
new swimming complex.
I've had meetings al­ready
on the subject with
President Philpott and
Alumni Committee Head
Buck Bradberry."
Hayley added, "I want­ed
to make myself clear
with Forrester and
Spann. I wasn't sure if
they knew what they
were doing, and I wanted
/ENTDNl fARMSOJORTU
them to think about it. I
am one of their greatest
fans, and if they decide to
leave, I will hate to see
them go."

Free comic film shown
' 'Harold and Maude,'' a
sentimental comedy, 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.
There is a good deal of
black humor in this film,
which Micheal Shedlin
writing in "Film Quarter­ly"
desceribed as, "a
ludicrous tear-jerker, a
grisly social satire."
"Harold and Maude" is
the work of director Hal
Ashby and screen writer
Colin Higgins. Higgins
had written the original
script as a master's
thesis project at U.C.L.A.
and had intended to
direct the film himself,
but Paramount brought
In Ashby, who is an ex­perienced
film editor.
The film tells the story
of a young man possessed
with an obsession on
death and an eighty-year-old
lady who is filled with
life.
The young man,
Harold, is played by Bud
Cort and the lady is
portrayed brilliantly by
Ruth Gordon.
Harold meets Maude
(Ruth Gordon) at a funer­al
and they develop a
strange relatonship as
she teaches him a great
deal about life by opening
his eyes to art, politics,
music, dance and drugs.
In a clever and outrage­ously
absurd way the film
makes a political state­ment
by launching a sar­castic
attack on certain
repressive forces in soci­ety.
Maude is developed by
Ruth Gordon into a truly
sympathetic character
who voices her pointed
attacks on oppressive
social elements with a
refreshingly libertarian
attitude.
Harold is liberated
from his obsessions by
Maude, who teaches him
to give up all the conven­tional
ideas of ownership,
status and authority.
Maude is able to replace
respect for obviously
oppressive laws with a
sense of allegiance to her
own mind.
Harold's mother, who
Is unable to understand
her son, is seen as the
principle symbol of the
superficial world which
Harold escapes when he
meets Maude.
By the end of the film
we realize that Maude
has taught Harold what
he needs to live as a sane
individual, in a world
which the director Ashby
has pointed out as being
unstable.
Harold's Uncle Victor
is another manifestation
of this unstable world.
Uncle Victor is an out­rageous
example of the
war hero who lives in the
past and tries to survive
on only his memories of
past glory.
Uncle Victor yearns for
another noble war like he
had fought in, so Harold
too could go off to lose a
limb for his country.
The bizarreness of this
film's situations are not
irreverently played upon
by the director, who could
have turned this
genuinely fine example of
black comedy into a
schmaltzy story of young
and old love.
Ashby has a much bet­ter
eye for quality than
that. I t 's to his credit that
he allowed Ms. Gordon to
grow Into the character of
Maude in the way that
she has.
One cannot escape the
sharp cutting edge of
social comment which
this film has.
In her dialogues,
Maude expresses most of
these comments, but it is
in a way so precise and so
decisively human that the
viewer hardly notices he
is being taught some very
important lessons.
The political nature of
this film cannot be ig­nored
or glossed over by
labeling it with such a
trite phrase as romantic
comedy. It is far too
important a movie for
that.

Over the years, you've
probably noticed how the sound of
your records seems to deteriorate.
The reason is friction. An inevitable
result of hard stylus tracking softer
vinyl grooves.
Now you can protect the
sound of your records with Sound Guard* record preservative. Sound Guard
preservative puts on a microscopically-thin, dry film to help the stylus track
smoothly in the grooves—instead of eroding them away.

According to Ellen
Maloy, assistant director
of the Auburn Union, no
free mini-concerts are
ready to announce either,
"...but we're a lot closer
to getting a free show
than a bigger show."
"Offerings are very
slim for groups touring
the South this quarter,"
said Maloy, "but we're
working with what they
have to offer."
Maloy said the number
of groups offered by tal­ent
agencies such as In­ternational
Creative
Management and Amer­ican
Talent International
"is almost nil."
She added that promot­ers
at Sound Seventy
"haven't offered any­thing
specific," and that
Concerts West, the other
major promoting agency
dealing with Auburn,
hasn't Informed her of
any concert offerings.
Maloy said that the
University of Southern
Mississippi and the Uni­versity
of Alabama have
the same concert situa­tion
as Auburn, and have
no major concerts
scheduled until June.

Trio proves reputation A-9 Friday, March si, 1978 The Auburn Plainsman
The Beaux Arts Trio
filled Peet Theatre with
the full beauty of their
music Monday night in a
concert sponsored by the
Auburn Chamber Music
Society.
The Trio demonstrated
why critics consider them
to be the world's greatest
chamber group with their
interpretations of trios by
Haydn, Ravel and Schu­bert.
Pianist Menahem Pres-sler
swapped leads and
harmony parts with vio­linist
Isidore Cohen and
cellist Bernard Green­house
throughout the
evening.
Following the pianist's
lead, the trio quickly lit
into the sprite, lively
melodies and surprising,
vigorous attacks of the
Haydn.
During the stately

THREE PLUS ONE
.Beaux Arts Trio and page turner performed Monday
trio displayed great
feeling in the sights and
sounds of their perfor­mance,
the body move­ments
and facial expres­sion
of the musicians re­inforcing
the emotional
message of the music.
Creating a rich,
floating sensation during
Ravel's tone poem-like
piece, the trio deftly
sketched the ebbs and
flows of Ravel's impres­sionism.
The sparse etchings of
masters and the furious
percussive attacks
launched throughout the
piece conveyed a com­pleteness
of expression
where any other voices or
instruments could only
intrude.
The Beaux Arts Trio
gave Auburn a concert
that added a fullness to
the technical excellence
of fall quarter's Eugene
Fodor concert. They
came dangerously close
to superhuman perfection
and to transforming
musical notes into pure
emotion.

Free weekend films set
The UPC Visual
Arts Committee has
announced its selection of
films which will be shown
as free movies during
Spring quarter. These
films are shown each
Thursday, Friday, Satur­day
and Sunday nights
during the quarter in
Langdon Hall. The films
are free of charge to
anyone possessing an
Auburn I.D.
Spring quarter's list of
films include a few films
by some famed directors
who have not been repre­sented
on the UPC selec­tions
in recent years. The
most prominent of these
is Fredrico Fellini, the
noted Italian director
who has earned a vast
reputation fdP'his work.
The Visual Art's Commit­tee
has chosen Fellini's
"Amarcord" as one of the
films for Spring quarter.
"Amarcord" is one of
Fellini's earlier films. It
is the biographical story
of Fellini's childhood in a
small Italian town.
Dino DeLaurentis, a di­rector
who is most famed
for his huge budgets, is
also represented on this
quarter's list with his
remake of the famous
film, "King Kong."
"King Kong" which was
originally made in 1933
has had several remakes
but none so lavish and
expensive as DeLauren­tis'
1976 version. The film
is the story of a giant ape
captured by man and put
on display as an oddity.
The DeLaurentis version
of this film was a huge
box office success the
year'it was released.
Among the other films
which Auburn students
Locust Fork band
at Blocked Punt
Locust Fork, a progres­sive
country band that is
releasing its first album
in a week will perform at
The Blocked Punt next
Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday.
They will play from
9-1:30 each night and the
cover charge will be
$1.50.
In the early days of the
band, they were know
primarily for their ex­tended
instrumental
jams of Allman Brothers
style.
The Tuscaloosa-based
band crosses a Texas
sound with a Georgia
sound and comes up with
its own Bluegrass-rock,
Alabama sound. As one
member puts it, "There
isn't really any one kind
of music we do. Some is
country, some is rock and
some is rhythm and
blues."

will have the chance of
viewing this quarter are
two very different classic
older films. These are the
. Marx Brother's zany
comedy, "Duck Soup"
and the classic drama of
a Southern childhood,
"To Kill ' Mockingbird."
The fine actor Gregory
Peck gave perhaps his
overall best performance
as the father in the film
"To Kill A Mockingbird".
The Visual Arts Com­mittee
has also chosen
several good modern
comedies as part of their
lineup for Spring quarter.
These films include "The
7 Percent Solution",
"Harold and Maude" and
"Murder .by Death."
"The 7 Percent Solution"
is a spoof of Arthur Conan
Doyle's famous Sherlock
Holmes character which
stars Alan Arkin and
Vanessa Redgrave.
"Murder by Death" is
another comic treatment
of a mystery theme which
was written by Neil
Simon as a spoof of sever­al
well-known characters
of detective fiction.
"Harold and Maude" is a
romantic comedy which
stars the always delight­ful
Ruth Gordon.
Clint Eastwood will
once again appear in the
UPC lineup this quarter
in his film "The Outlaw
Josey Wales". "Josey
Wales" is a typical re­vengeful,
violent, stone
cold film which only
Eastwood knows how to .
make.
The list for Spring
quarter is rounded out
with the two films "The
Fantastic Planet" and
"One on One." "The Fan­tastic
Planet" is a sci­ence
fiction movie which
uses animation to tell a
tale of an imaginary plan­et
which is inhabited by
two races of men. "One of
two races of men. "One
on One is a very recent
film which is mainly the
work of the young actor
Robby Benson. This film
is the story of a basket­ball
player's attempts to
make it in college sports.
Overall, this quarter's
selections appear to be
more varied than in the
recent past and it is
pleasantly obvious that
the Visual Arts Commit­tee
was willing to take a
few more risks by choos­ing
some less com­mercial
films this quar­ter.

In review Millington sisters The Outlaws Eddie Money
LADIES ON THE STAGE
The Millington Sisters
LADIES ON THE
STAGE, by the Millington
sisters, could have been
as accurately entitled
LADIES ON THE STAGE
OF UTTER BOREDOM.
June and Jean Milling­ton
were once the mauv_
stay of the all-female,
hard-rock band, Fanny.
But the sisters abandoned
their old band, and ap­parently
most of the rock,
to put out this album.
When the Millingtons
were with Fanny, they
were like root beer. They
did not appeal to every­one's
taste, but they were
different enough to build
a strong following.
Now the sisters have
gone disco in an effort to
attract a wider market,
and their sound has gone
flat. The ingredients may
be the same, but the fizz
is just not there.
The album is not bad.
But neither is it good.
Instead it is made pleas­antly
indistinct by lush
string arrangements,
perfectly tuned but
emotionless voices and
lyrics of well-rhymed
cliches.
If you're looking for an
album that you can study
without getting dis­tracted,
this may be your
disc. If, on the other
hand, you prefer music
that rocks, thinks or
boogies, hold on to your
money.
-Rick Harmon
BRING IT BACK ALIVE
The Outlaws
If guitar playing could
kill, The Outlaws would
be on every wanted pos­ter
in the country.
On BRING IT BACK
ALIVE, their new double
live LP, the Tampa based
"Florida Guitar Army"
comes at you with all
guitars blazing.
Although The Outlaws
have been largely ig­nored
by critics in the
past, many consider
them the logical succes­sor
to Lynyrd Skynyrd as
the leading Southern rock
band.
Like Skynyrd, to whom
this set is dedicated, the
Outlaws have shown a
decided ability to incorp­orate
the broader influ­ences
of hard rock into
- distinctly Southern
themes.
All of the songs on
BRING IT BACK ALIVE
have been previously re­corded,
but most of the
live versions contain
longer jams and an ex­citement
that can't be
found on the studio
tracks.
Following the unusual
introduction, the band
launches into "Stick
Around For Rock ' n
Roll", displaying their
triple barreled guitar at­tack
and unveiling the
double drum playing of
Monte Yoho and new
member David Dix.
"There Goes Another
Love Song", The Out­laws'
first big hit, is given
a new, faster treatment,
but the opinion here is
that the new version bites
the dust.
Two songs from their
second album, "Freeborn
Man" and "Prisoner",
are highlights of side two.
The former is an up­beat
southern boogie
number while the latter Is
a smooth, slow song
reminiscent of the All-man
Brothers.
Side three features cuts
from the group's third
studio album, the best of
which is "Holiday", due
mainly to Billy Jones' dis­tinctive
but appealing vo­cals
and some subtle spe­cial
effects guitar work.
The Outlaw's classic
"Green Grass and High
Tides" takes up all 20
minutes of side four. If
you liked the short (nine
minute) version on their
first album, you'll love
this.
In fact, this perform­ance
alone makes this
album a collector's Item
for any Southern rock
fan.
Overall, the only weak
spots In this set are a
generally poor sound
quality and the some­times
weak vocals.
Nevertheless, like most
live albums, BRING IT
BACK ALIVE shows the
Outlaws for what they
really are—a red hot
band..
- Scott Thurston and
FordRisley
coast Influence, just reek­ing
of searing-hot city,
soulful songs.
"Two Tickets To Para­dise"
opens side one and
maybe that's a good hint
of what's to come. It's
probably the best cut on
the album, showing off
Money's incredible voice
and style.
Side one also houses a
pretty good remake of
Smokey Robinson's
"You've Really Got A
Hold On Me," a little
slower perhaps than the
original release, with al­most
a reggae-type influ­ence.
Money's searing sound
is the dominant feature of
the album, what makes it
stand out in a sea of
newly released vinyl.
His appealing style is
constant throughout the
album, but the cut that
best says "Eddie Money"
is his current single
"Baby Hold On."
The album also fea­tures
some inspiring gui­tar
work bv Jimmy Lyon.
"Got To Get Another
Girl," written by Lyon,
Money and J. Nelson,'
shows off his expertise in
playing.
Money has produced a
debut album to be proud
of, no doubt about that.

EDDIE MONEY
Eddie Money
Pretty faces on tough
guys are a dime a dozen
in rock and roll. It's the
age-old quick-draw com­bination
that just about
everybody tries, and the
play doesn't work.
Just one catch though;
his debut album Is
answering, "This time
for sure," and it's right
and so is he.
Eddie Money and his
album of the same name
could very well be 1978's
answer to Bruce Spring­steen.
Money has the same
intense delivery and is
capable of packing a con­vincingly
emotional vo­cal
treatment to each of
his songs. He doesn't
have to scream "pain"
for you to know he's hurt.
Money is a New York
City kid. Even his last 10
years in San Francisco
haven't taken off the
tough edge. His album
definitely has an East

Movie to be shot in Opelika, stars Sally Field

Opelika will be the set­ting
for a new 20th

starring former
"Flying Nun" actress
Sally Field. Opelika

to applicants
Applications for a stu­dent
position on the Traf­fic
Appeals Board are
now being taken. Each
applicant must be
female, a junior and
have a 1.5 overall gpa.
The position is available
for spring and summer
quarter only. The job re­quires
three to five hours
of work per quarter, and
applicants should come
by the SGA office in the
Union Building as soon
as possible.
May 1. The film will be
one of the company's line­ups
for 1979.
Directing the film is
Martin Ritt who recently
completed "Casey's
Shadow.'' Other 20th Cen­tury-
Fcx productions di­rected
by Ritt include
"Hombre," "The Great
White Hope," "Sounder"
and "Conrack."
Opelika was chosen as
the film site after six
weeks of searching by
Ritt, his production man­ager
and the Alabama
Film Commission's Phil
Cole.
"I fell in love with
Opelika the moment I saw
it," Ritt said. "It's like a
Norman Rockwell cover
on the Saturday Evening
Post—typical Ameri­cana.
The people are
marvelous with that cer­tain
stamp of southern
pride on their faces. I
know it's going to offer
some of the most excit­ing
photography ever
captured on film."
Jack Terry, Rltt's top
production manager,
added that Opelika "has
everything that we could
hope for. The coopera­tion
we have received
from the people of Ope­lika
is fantastic." Terry
said that the film
company plans to use
many citizens as them­selves
in the film.
Chamber of Commerce
Manager Henry Stern af­firmed
that extras will be
used for the movie, add­ing
that the Chamber of
Commerce will have
briefings as filming pro­gresses.
"Opelika will get first
shot at information about
filming," Stern said.
"However, nothing will
happen until the first of
April. They're Just going

setting up now."
Construction has al­ready
begun on sets,
Stern explained, but the
location of the shooting
sites will not be an­nounced
until "they're
far enough along to con­trol
crowds.
"All of the movie will
be filmed In aneight-to
10-mile radius of Ope­lika,"
he added.
Opelika Itself will not
be identified In the film's
credits as the setting, but
instead be referred to as
a "southern textile town.
The film doesn't show the
beautiful parts of the
town. They're showing
what they want to show,
not the dogwoods or the
azalea trails," Stern said.
Miss Field will appear
in the title role as a textile
worker. According to
Williams, the film Is a
contemporary story of a
woman's attempts to
change the working con­ditions
at a southern mill.
Currently, Miss Field,
along with actor Burt
Reynolds, Is finishing
production on "Holly­wood
Stuntman," partial­ly
filmed in Tuscaloosa.
The two celebrities also
appeared In last year's
"Smokey and the
Bandit."
• Stern said he was sure
that the cast will make
public appearances be­fore
the shooting ends in
mid-July. "You just don't
keep something like this
quiet in a town the size of
Opelika," Stern added.
"In fact, there are rum­ors
that Burt Reynolds
has been here every night
for the past two weeks."
Ritt and Terry will be
in town soon to begin pre-production
work, accord­ing
to Williams. Miss
Field and the other cast
members will arrive late
in April in time for re­hearsals.

The Auburn Plainsman Friday, March si, lvn A-i«
April Fool's issue carries on Auburn tradition
By Jackie Romlne
Features Editor
Another Plainsman
April Fool's Day edition
rolled off the presses
again this week continu­ing
an Auburn tradition
which began almost a
half a century ago.
Ever since the nrst
edition in the late 19.20's,
Plainsman staffers have
kept the tradition alive as
a forum to "poke fun" at
administration, students,
and themselves.
This year it's the
Painsman, in 1932 it was
the Plainzmunn, in 1966,
The Alabama Polytech-nlcal
Institute Plow­man;
in 1967, The Au­burn
Plainboy; in 1968,
The Weekly Reeker; In
1971, The Auburn
Plainswoman, and in
1977, The Auburn In-spirer.
In 1931's edition head­lines
read "Cabinet says
'Beer must go!" Refer­ences
were numerous to
Ag Hollow and the For­estry
Plot (popular
necking places—nobody
had cars). A column
written by Konscious
Kletus read, "I know that
my opinion is not worth a
damn and I know that
nobody in Auburn gives a
damn what I say or
think."
Neil Davis, current
journalism professor and
1934-35 editor for The
Plainsman, said the three
member Administrative
Committee (which func­tioned
as chief executive
instead of a president)
were called "faith, hope
and charity." in his "La
Plainzmunn."
"We poked fun at the
administration. It made
them mad but they really
didn't do anything about
it. We had a good time at
their expense."
Davis said students
many years ago were
more playful. We were
more juvenile. The April
Fool's editions were a
chance to have fun."
Davis said his edition
made fun of most every­body,
especially the Uni­versity
of Alabama and
campus "wheels," who
took themselves too seri­ously.
Things haven't
changed much since
these early papers. The
administration, student
leaders and the Univer­sity
of Alabama continu­ed
to be targets, but were
in the center ring joined
by the Student Health
Center, students's rights,
and just about anything
else possible.
The administration has
been one of the hardest
hit since day-one of April
Fool editors. President
Harry M. Philpott has
been called Hari Filpot,
Harry Flushpott and
H.M. Smudgepot. He has
been accused of turning
to Hinduism and schedul­ed
for a streaking on the
Haley Center Concourse
in 1975 for a "Catch him
for a Comment on the
Concourse," where stu­dents
could get the "run-around
just the same as
always."
The Drake Student
Health Center has been
called the Auburn Uni­versity
Farcepital and in
1967 The Auburn Plain-boy
complained of War
Eagle pills frequently
prescribed by the
center's Dr. B.W.
Morgue.
Through the years, we
have had a "Miss Plow-girl"
and a "Miss Swine
of the Year." Back in the
days of the weekly
"Lovlest of the Plains"
feature picture of campus
coeds, the APO Plowman
ran a picture of a plump
pig in that spot.
April Fool's Day
editions are also fairly
famous impromto ads.
Last year's Crab Cola ad
(tastes like liquid crab
meat, only crunchy) still
adorns The Plainsman's
Coke machine. The 1968
edition featured profes­sional
riot services for
"No more amateur de­monstrations,"
and an ad
for the movie, "Campus
Cops — Violence is their
God."
The 1949 issue lead with
an ad for falsies asking
"Which Triplet has the
Phoney?" Another ad
asked, "Still sore about
that 102 grade? Even up
the score with a genuine
.30-calibre machine gun
from Trashy-Tight Hard­ware
Co."
. But even "an" open-minded
liberal university
won't sit still for continu­ed
lambasting year after
year. Auburn won't
either, and a few editors
have been called to
answer for some of this
off-the-collar wit.
Jack Simms, current
journalism department
head and 1948-49 Plains­man
editor, and Beverly
Bradford, editor, 1970-71,
are two who felt the ad­ministrations
disap­proval.
Simms, who lost his
editor's job along with his
managing editor, Mitch
Sharpe, soon after his
April Fool's day edition,
said his removal prob­ably
stemmed from
factors other than the
special edition.
After World War H,
when Simms was editor,
many students were ve­terans.
"These people
were more questioning.
We were very critical of
the administr
