              Plainsman election closest ever
Stone wins Presidential election
Johnny Haslam
Plainsman Staff Writer
Jeff Stone, 3ME, was elected
Student Government Association
president Thursday, beating David
Hopper, 3GSC,-3,020 votes to 2,491
votes.
"I'm really excited about the
opportunity to serve the Auburn
students," Stone said. "I see this as
a great challenge to me and to the
newly elected members of the SGA
to better serve the students.
"We plan to work for a more
effective and a more efficient SGA
than we've had in the past. We hope
to have close working relationships
with the administration, the
alumni, the students and all other
groups that make up Auburn."
Hopper only described himself as
"too hurt to laugh and too old to
cry."
Buddy Barfield, an SGA new-jomer,
defeated Engineering
Senator Alan Little, winning 2,153
votes to 1,751 votes Craig Dowdy
finished third with 1,365 votes.
"I just really can't believe it,"
said Barfield. "I was sweating it
out. It was such a close race, and
I'm just thankful and grateful for
the people who supported me. I'm
really looking forward to working
with and for the students."
Little said he plans to apply for
student liaison to the City Council.
"I feel that since I have been
serving in this position for two
quarters, that I can benefit the
Auburn students best there."
Dowdy said, "I want to wish
Buddy good luck, and I hope the
students give him and the SGA all
the support that they need."
Bob Burton, 2LEC, was elected
SGA treasurer, with 2,271 votes,
defeating Jimmy Holliman with
1,380 votes and Buddy Fuller, 3FI,
with 1,371 votes.
"I'm really happy to win," said .
Burton, "And would like to thank
all the people that helped me,
especially Tavia Copenhaver and
Brooke Nichols."
Possibly the most exciting race
and certainly the most competitive
was Plainsman editor. Dick
Parker, 3PO, edged Dewey
English, 4GJM, by eight votes.
This election was the closest
contest this year and probably the
closest ever for the Plainsman
Editor.
News Editor Parker
defeated Production Manager
English by a scant eight
votes, 2,369 to 2,361.
"It's going to be really tough to
replace all the super people that we
have leaving this year," a happy,
but tired Parker said.
"I just hope that we can work
with all the newly elected SGA
officers, the administration and
everybody else at Auburn to carry
on the tradition of a great, great
newspaper."
A disappointed English said, "A
lot of people say that it hurts to
loose an election, but when you
come this close and fall short, it's
hard to really be hurt. Maybe
disappointed is a better word.
"Eight votes are eight votes, and
you have to feel proud of yourself
when you come that far."

While students clamor for air
conditioning, Auburn University
officials continue to say they can't
turn it on.
"The major obstacle," said Dr.
Ben Lanham, vice president for the
administration, "is the governor's
executive request for energy con­servation."
However, the air conditioning is
on at the University of Alabama,
the University of Alabama at Bir­mingham,
the University of Ala­bama
at Huntsville and the Univer­sity
of South Alabama, and has
been on at these schools since April
3.
Officials at these other schools

•In't know the rules."
.ne Board ruled Tuesday night
,at Dowdy must remove cam-
*.gn material from on-campus
sites Wednesday, but allowed
t-shirts to be employed as on-campus
advertising.
At first Dowdy and his workers
objected to the ruling Taylor said,
until they found out one of their
campaign workers had indeed vio­lated
the rules.
"Then there wasn't much they
could say about it," Taylor said.
•Buddy Barfield, 3CF, also a vice
presidential candidate, was found
in violation of posting campaign
materials on telephone poles. Al­though
the rule is not included in
the 1977-78 Tiger Cub, the Student
Senate passed a rule earlier this
year prohibiting the fixation of
campaign material on telephone
poles. All candidates were given a
complete list of rules prior to the
start of campaigns, Taylor said.
Two of Dowdy's campaign
materials were found posted on
telephone poles, and Taylor said,
"We have reports of more."
No stringent action was taken
against Barfield, Taylor said, since
the Elections Board "didn't have
as hard evidence as we did in
Craig's case." Tuesday night, Bar-field
was notified he must remove
all campaign materials with the
exception of large signs and
banners off-campus.
Bernie Kent, 1PN, an off-campus
senatorial candidate, was also
found in violation of campaign laws
by the Board and required to
remove some of his campaign
materials.
"We found more than one piece
of material on different bulletin
boards Monday night. He had to

which would keep them from turn­ing
on the air conditioning.
One University of Alabama at
Birmingham official said if there
was an order affecting air condi­tioning,
"I'm not aware of it."
Students who are demanding
dorm air conditioning on the basis
that it is guaranteed in their
contracts are in for a jolt.
The contract, headed "Universi­ty
Housing Agreement," says abso­lutely
nothing about air condition­ing.
It states the rules a student is
expected to follow here.
Henry Henderson, student legal
advisor, said, "There is a differ­ence
of opinion as to whether the
students have a legal contract or
not. I think you can get good
lawyers to argue on both sides of
the issue."
Auburn University is conserving
the requested 20 percent of its
normal energy use. But Rhett
Riley, University business mana­ger,
says switching on the air
conditioning would prevent the
University from continuing to save
the 20 percent.
The governor's request followed
the Alabama Public Service Com­mission's
(PSC) request in March
for a voluntary cutback of energy
use. This came during the national
coal strike, Alabama Power's
stockpiles became dangerously
low.
The coal strike has since been
settled, and the power company
requested that the PSC's request
be lifted. The PSC was expected to
vote to rescind its request this
week, but no action had been taken
as of Thursday night.
"If they would clear up the
energy problem," Lanham said,

Lance warns students of economic woes
By Barry Webne
Plainsman Staff Writer
Speaking before a capacity
crowd at Auburn Monday night,
Bert Lance told students that the
American people don't consider the
government to be their servant
anymore.
Lance was the former Office of
Management and Budget Director.
Lance resigned from his post to
avoid embarrassing the Carter
administration after the Senate
investigated his business debts
from several national banks.
When speaking to the Auburn
crowd, Lance was very optimistic
about the Carter Administration.
He stated that the two main prob­lems
in the United States were in
the economy and in press cove­rage.
"The government must have a
mission," said Lance. "The United
States has the greatest economy
and gpvernment known to man.
The system should work as a
whole, and that is what is lacking
now.
"The government has too much
red tape, and this is a main reason
why the American people are
losing faith in it. The only thing we
can do right now to clear the
bureaucracy is to decrease its
activities to the nitty gritty,"
Lance said.
Lance focused the majority of his
speech on the American economy
and its problems.
"The dollar is going to continue
to corrode until we do something
about it. In order to help inflation,
we must do two things. We must
increase productivity and stop
fiscal irresponsibility. These two
aspects make up the major prob­lems
which our economy is facing.
"We must get a balanced budget
within two or three years," said
Lance.
"If we don't do something
quickly to the inflation problem,

An Auburn University student
was refused damages last week in
a suit he filed against another
student for an interservice football
game injury.
Bruce Hanson, 4BSC, an Air
Force ROTC cadet, was seeking
$500 damages from J.D. White,
10VOAG, an Army ROTC cadet, for
"either negligently or intentionally
causing bodily injury" during a
football game on Nov. 29, 1977.
The case was tried April 5 in the
Small Claims Court at Lee County
Courthouse.
Judge Noel Baker said in his
decision last Friday "that the
parties assumed the risk of the
game or contest."
He also said, "...from the evi­dence
...it is common knowledge
that touch football is a rough game
and one in which the participants
might be injured."
Hanson's front four teeth were
knocked out during the game,
costing him $970. He was seeking
about half the cost of his injuries.
After the decision was an­nounced,
Hanson said, "The reason
I went to court was that all I had to
. invest was $10 and I had a chance
to win $500. It was just like a
jackpot."
Hanson said he did not plan to
appeal Judge Baker's decision.
White said he was "just glad it's
over. I just want to let it die."

ISRAELI SOLDIERS MOVE OUT - More than
5,000 Lebanese refugees returned home Tuesday
as Israeli troops turned over a small sector of
southeastern Lebanon to United Nations
soldiers. About 220.000 fled when Israelis
invaded Lebanon March 15. As several hundred
Israeli soldiers left for their new position one
mile to the southwest, 40 lightly armed Nor­wegians
of the UN peacekeeping force moved
into the town. A second partial withdrawal is
planned for today, but after that Israel will still
control about 400 of the 500 square miles it
occupied.

CARTER URGES VOLUNTARY INFLATION
CONTROLS - President Carter called on
government, industry and labor to join in a
coordinated effort against inflation Tuesday, but
ruled out the use of mandatory wage and price
controls except in case of "all-out war." Using
the federal government as an example, Carter
imposed a 5.5 percent lid on federal pay raises
this year, froze the salaries of top federal
executives and said he would veto any bill he
considers unduly inflationary. He also asked
labor and industry to keep price and salary
increases below the average rate of the past two
years. "I am asking American workers to follow
the example of federal workers and accept a
lower rate of wage increases," said Carter in a
speech before the American Society of News­paper
Editors at the Washington Hilton.

Political apathy reached an all-time Auburn high
last week right before this year's campaign began. A
practical joker placed a personal waste disposal
device on the concourse in front of Haley Center with a
message to all the members of the SGA.
By Becki Thomas
Assistant News Editor
The Student Senate
granted an allocation of
$3,242 to the SGA at its
final meeting of the year
Monday night.'
The funds will be used
to replace the all-campus
fund drive monies spent
during the 1976-77 year.
There was not a separate
account for the all-campus
fund drive that
year, and those funds
were paid from the gen­eral
SGA budget.
Budget and Finance
Chairman Tavia Copen-haver
said the previous
administration, headed
by Buck Ruffin, "spent it
down to the penny...this is
why the money is being
allocated."
A separate account has
been established and all-campus
fund drive pro­ceeds
for this year have
been placed in il.
The Senate also ap­proved
a $7,326 allocation
to the 1978-79 Tiger Cub
and an additional alloca­tion
of $750 to the lectures
committee for the re­mainder
of this fiscal
year.
Senator Rick Abbott, in
favor of the additional
funding said, "We owe
them added allocations,"
since the lectures com­mittee
budget was cut
significantly as com­pared
to other organiza­tions'
budgets last year.
In their action, Sigma
Nu was granted permis­sion
to hold its annual
all-campus fund drive
"Casino," April 21. How­ever,
objections were
raised since the event will
be held on the same date
as the previously ap­proved
DZ/FIJI "A
Night in Hollywood."
Jimmy Bennett, co-director
of the campus
activities said, "We can't
keep them from having it
on that night."
The fraternity had al­ready
planned and
printed tee-shirts for the
event prior to Senate ap­proval,
he said.
Senator Charlie Payne
said he thought the ob­jective
of senate ap­proving
campus events
was to prevent such con­flicts,
but the motion
passed, 13-to-9. Last
week, three of the five
all-campus fund drives
approved were scheduled
on consecutive nights.
The senate also passed
a resolution initiated by
Senators Cindy Hinds and
Charlie Payne recom­mending
"immediate
attention" be given to
expansion of the library.

FIRES END AS RAIN FALLS OVER STATE -
During a 13 day period ending April 10, 125,000
acres in Alabama were destroyed by forest fires.
But, rains fell across the state Tuesday tempo­rarily
ending the threat of widespread fires. The
statewide ban on outdoor burning was also lifted
Tuesday, but State Forester C.W. Moody said the
ban would be reinstated should the danger of.
forest fires recur. More than 2,100 fires were
recorded around the state from March 29
through April 10, destroying approximately $4.3
million worth of timber. More than 20 homes
were destroyed and four fire-related deaths were
recorded.

she was $1,229,090 in debt to 36 Alabama banks.

From page A-1
' 'we could clear up the air
conditioning."
The only problem, the
PSC could have en­countered
was the lack of
rain, which lowered the
level of reservoirs across
the state. The Power
Company reservoirs are
used to generate power
during heavy summer
consumption, so the PSC
could conceivably vote to
uphold their request.
However, recent rainfall
should have helped the
situation considerably.
If the PSC does vote to
rescind its request and
the governor's request is
also lifted, Lanham said
the next consideration
would be the current and
long-range weather.
In a memo prepared for
the President's office on
Monday, Lanham said
that included: "Current
and long-range projected
weather reports relating
to both day and night
temperatures; rainfall
and humidity levels; ex­tended
periods of excess
or shortages of high
temperatures; rainfall
and many other facors
generally related to cur­rent
and projected
weather conditions."
Lanham said the final
decision to turn on the air
conditioning, if the execu­tive
request is lifted,
would come from Physi­cal
Plant.
Paul Kearney, Physi­cal
Plant director, said he
was "just waiting for the
order."
Lanham said in the
President's memo that
the air conditioning
would be cut on "when
spring temperatures rise
to a level where use of air
conditioning is both need­ed
and justified."
Kearney said there was
not a certain temperature
at which the air condi­tioning
would be turned
on. "The temperature
can be deceiving," Kear­ney
said, "If we have
high humidity and a low
air temperature, you are
more uncomfortable,
than if we have a low
humidity and a high air
temperature."
Kearney said most of
the air conditioning units
are ready to go, but with
Auburn's decentralized
system, it will take one
and one-half to two days
to turn on all the units.
The only buildings on
campus which are cur­rently
being air condi­tioned
are those which
house experimental ani­mals
and special equip­ment.
"Some students do not
understand this," Kear­ney
said. "But there are
years of research behind
these animals and sev­eral
generations are
housed here. Years of
research could go down
the drain if these animals
die."
The special equipment
he referred to could be
ruined by extreme heat
and humidity.
Kearney said he was
asked to find the records
stating when air condi­tioning
was turned on In
recent years, but he could
not find them. Kearney
has only been director of
Physical Plant since last
Spring.
"You can bet I'll have
the date marked in red
when we turn it on this
year," said Kearney.
Auburn students had a lot of help
making their selections Thursday, in
the form of wall-to-wall posters and
banners which decorated the Auburn-
Decisions Opelika area for the past week. How­ever,
less than 6,000 students decided to
take advantage of the "free informa­tion"
and voted in the SOA elections.

the chances will continue
to grow that the United
States will face serious
economic dangers."
Lance reported that the
Carter Administration
gave the American
economy a good year last
year, and the U.S. budget
is continually heading
toward a zero base.
The press in America
has not been accurate,
according to Lance.
"When I was being
criticized by the press, I
thought it was unfair. I
don't think that the press
is out to get me, and I
didn't complain when
they publicized my prob­lems,"
Lance said.
Lance also said the
press must become more
accurate. He said by
investigation it was found
that his publicized prac­tice
turned out to be
"commonplace."
Before anything can be
done in any of these
fields, Lance said that the
government must stop
infringing and intruding
on the American public.
This means that all
regulations and rules
without importance
should be done away
with, and the system of
government should be
made as simple as
possible.
Lance said that the
government is so wound
up in its regulations and
rules that it cannot plan
for the future, and this in
turn is hurting our
government.
On the subject of
foreign investments and
trade, Lance said he en­couraged
foreign invest­ment
to a certain degree.
"We need foreign
investment in land and
products. There should be
no real limit as to how
much is invested, but if it
becomes too dampening,
we will sooner or later
have to put restrictions
on investments.
"I think for every
foreign car that comes to
the United States from
Japan, we should send
them something which
they need in return. We

Nursing school for AU?
By Martha Tamblyn
Plainsman Staff Writer
Auburn University will
receive $500,000 in ear­marked
funds for estab­lishing
a school of nursing
if the Alabama ' Senate
approves the 1978 Educa­tion
Budget Bill submitt­ed
by Gov. George C.
Wallace.
The Senate Finance
and Taxation Committee
reported the bill out of
committee Tuesday, sub­stituting
its version for
House Bill 245, the Educa­tion
Budget Bill, as
amended. The House ap­proved
the bill in March.
The budget submitted
by Wallace earmarked
$500,000 from the Special
Education Trust Fund to
be used for staff and
maintenance expenses.
Auburn University would
be responsible for provid­ing
building space for the
nursing school and fund­ing
for new facilities if
they are required.
Although Wallace in­cluded
nursing school
funds in the proposed
state budget, funding for
additional nursing
schools within Alabama
was excluded from the
state education budget
recommended by the Ala­bama
Commission on
Higher Education
(ACHE).
ACHE, which ruled
against additional nurs­ing
schools in the past,
postponed action on the
proposed nursing school
at Auburn University,
Auburn University at
Montgomery and Troy
State University at Mont­gomery
at its meeting
Dec. 9.
Kitty Collier, ACHE
staff assistant, said the
Commission was con­ducting
an extensive
nursing study in conjunc­tion
with the Advisory
Commissin on Nursing
Education before ruling
on the proposed schools.
Collier said that ACHE
is investigating nursing
within Alabama "in
terms of supply and de­mand,"
and that the in­vestigation
would prob­ably
not be concluded for
a year.
According to Lee
County Hospital Director
Thurman Turner, there is
a shortage of nurses in
Tallapossa, Russel,
Macon, Randolph,
Chambers and Lee coun­ties.
"It's been our experi­ence
that unless there's a
reason for a nurse to
move to this area, they
don't move," said Turn­er.

Individual instances of
vandalism were report­ed,
but it was not wide­spread,
and Taylor said it
consisted "mostly of
tearing down large signs
off-campus."
Although the Elections
Board has an idea of the
vandal(s) identity, it
could not be confirmed.
"It's just a guess,
there's no proof," Taylor
said.

Remembering a trail of broken watches and boring speeches
Air conditioning
The University has no right to continue withholding air conditioning from
on-campus dormitory residents. But as the students swelter, in the. heat, the
University continues to hedge on its decision to turn on the air conditioning in
the dorms. ...
Officials claim that Auburn University is under an executive order from the
governor to curb energy use and that they are waiting for that order to be lifted.
However, officials at four other Alabama universities say they have not heard of
such an order. The air conditioning is on at the University of Alabama,
University of Alabama at Birmingham, University of Alabama at Huntsville
and the University of South Alabama and has been on at these universities since
April 3.
Dr. Ben Lanham, University vice president for administration, says the
contract which dormitory residents signed does not specifically state that the
resident will receive air conditioning. Only the housing application contains
any references to it. It is true that air conditioning is not specifically guaranteed
. in the dorm contract. But students are definitely misled to believe that it will
be provided when the weather calls for it. And the extra fees for air
conditioning are indeed collected each quarter. Lanham also says the fees
collected for air conditioning are spread over fall, winter and spring quarters,
while the air conditioning is mostly on during summer quarter, when most
students are not in school and do not live in the dormitories.
The University apparently has no qualms admitting that the students pay for
the air conditioning which they are not receiving. It is a little hard for us to
believe the officials who apologize for the "inconvenience" they are causing
students, when those same officials can relax at night in air-conditioned homes.
Campaigns. Wow, what a blast...
This column v»as written earlier this
week. Campaigns were still going, full
steam, rhetoric was flowing. more
freely than bourbon at the 'Bama
game, and I took the time to reflect
on another fool's campaign.
My own.
In order to be editor of this
newspaper, you .have to run.. And
believe me, to take part in any kind of
campus political campaign, you have
to want it bad. Real bad.
Generally, I look back at last year's
three-ring circus fondly, for several
reasons. I did get to meet a lot of
people, I found out there is life
outside of The Plainsman office, and
most importantly, I won.
Still, I contrast my own campaign
with those of this year (Remember,
this column was written before the
results were known). This year's
campaigns seem so frenetic. The
posters, pamphlets and speeches, all
crammed into one week, make these
seven days seem kind of hyper.
But in last year's race, we ran what
was known as a "low-key" campaign.
That's a nice way of saying that J
didn't have very many people work­ing
for me.
As a candidate, I was less than a
model politician. It was the first time
I had ever participated in anything so
large in scope, and I wasn't willing to
comply with some of the demands my
campaign manager made.
For example, it's considered a good
idea if you get up at 6 a.m. and eat
breakfast at one of the on-campus
dining halls, getting in a little
campaigning. But I'm the kind of
person who gets up. at 7:30 a.m. to
John
Carvalho
get to my 8 o'clock classes on time.
Anyway, I ate breakfast at Mag Dorm
for a year, and the eggs look too much
like vanilla pudding for my taste.
Another tip for all you would-be
politicoes: Did you know you're
supposed to stand up in class on the
first day of campaigns, and announce
that you're a candidate and would
love their support, etc, ad nauseum?
Though long overdue, the University Senate Academic Standards
Committee recommended to the Senate that the faculty be polled concerning
its preference of grading scales. The opinion also stated that the present scale be
converted to a 4.0 system or to include grades assigned with plus's, if the
faculty prefers such a system.
The options the faculty will consider are the present three-point system; the
three-point system with plus's assigned; a four-point system and a four-point
system with plus's.
The Senate had previously considered the four-point system and the
plus-minus system, but sent both to the Academic Standards Committee for a
recommendation.
We feel a four-point grading scale is the best option, for several reasons. It is
a modern approach, employed by the majority of colleges in the United States.
Also, converting transfer students' grades from an institution with a four-point
system causes more work. When an Auburn student asks for a recommendation
to another school, officials must clarify that Auburn is on a three-point system.
It's a confusing dilemma which is easily alleviated.
The plus system should not be adopted in any form by the Academic
Standards Committee. The danger of' 'grade inflation,'' and its consequential
harm to Auburn' academic reputation, are too great to merit such a change.
We've waited a long time for progress toward a new and beneficial grading
scale. We've watched other issues bite the dust or fade away. We hope .the
faculty is ready for change. We are.
Nursing school
The Alabama Senate has before it a bill which, if passed, will earmark
$500,000 to be used toward establishing a School of Nursing at Auburn.
Such a bill addresses the two most important factors in the discussion
concerning establishing a new nursing school in eastern Alabama.
First, there is a shortage of nurses in eastern Alabama, especially the counties
surrounding the Auburn area. Establishing a nursing school in this area is a
positive step toward solving this problem.
The Alabama Commission on Higher Education has not decided whether the
school should be established at Auburn University, Auburn University at
Montgomery or Troy State University.
We feel the School of Nursing should be established here, not just for selfish
reasons. The counties most affected by the nursing shortage are in the area
immediately surrounding Auburn, so it seems logical to locate the school where
it would do the most good. Send nursing students to Troy or Montgomery
couldn't ensure that these nurses, after graduating, would return to where
they are needed most: eastern Alabama.
But I had a 500-student class in 2370
Haley Center, and I wasn't about to
get up and deliver a dissertation in the
middle of class.. .even if I went to class
that week.
As for 10 assistants, one in charge
of signs, one in charge of scheduling,
one in charge of getting the candidate
up in the morning...well, like I said,
there weren't that many of us.
Consequently, Gary, my campaign
manager, and I did most of it
ourselves, with a lot of help of course.
But it had its foulups. No one knew
what anyone else was doing, no one
knew IF anyone else was doing
anything, and mishaps like the person
who volunteered to paint banners,
then forgot, were frequently the rule
rather than the exception.
Campaigning could be dangerous,
too. "Wild" Windsor Hall resembled
Midway Island during campaigns,
with bottle rockets, firecrackers and
even shotgun blasts there to greet any
candidates.
Speaking at fraternity houses also
proved hazardous. Before entering
one specific house, which shall remain
anonymous, the person walking with
me said, "Speak quick, or the guys'U
start throwing their food at you.
That warning, plus the way the
candidate who preceded me made the
brothers impatient by speaking for
five minutes, set the stage, you may
suspect, but the speech passed with­out
incident.
And when the news came through
Thursday night, I was in David
Housel's office, about to go crazy. I
had sat on my watch and broken it.
David, by the way, is our advisor, and
I can think of no other place I would
rather have been for such an occasion.
He's a good man.
Why am I writing this column,
rambling on about a campaign of
nearly a year ago? Perhaps_this is just
my way of letting the candidates from
this year, win or lose, know that
there's someone out there who's
walked the trail, too, and knows what
it's like to sit there on Thursday,
almost too tired to care.
Was it worth it?
No comment.
The Circle has changed, deserves funding
Last quarter, Circle Editor Mark
Winne wrote a fiery editorial concern­ing,
the, Student Senate Budget and
Finance Committee's refusal to in­crease
the Circle's funds.
At first glance, I can under­stand
the committee's point ot view.
After all, how many Auburn students
read or care about The Circle? How
many even know what it is? Until this
year, I'd say many students didn't
know Auburn hr.d a student maga­zine.
Prior to this year, The Circle was
more or less a conglomeration of so-so
poems, few-but-rar-between interest­ing
ankles and short stories, occas­sional
eye-catching art work and
scattered creative photographs. Per­haps
some English majors made a -
little effort to obtain an issue so they
could check out their competition,
but for the most part, The Circle
wasn't something people anticipated.
The Senate Budget and Finance
Committee probably had this in mind
when it decided not to allocate more
funds to The Circle.
But as the old saying goes, ' "Things
change," and The Circle is no
exception.
In fact, The Circle received a first-place
award from the Society of
Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta
Chi, for being the most outstanding
college magazine in the southeastern
region encompassing Florida, Ala­bama,
Georgia, South Carolina and
part of Tennessee. To me, that award
is a symbol of excellence.
I'll admit The Circle is not perfect.
Like all publicatons, it has its share of
problems. We receive a favorable
portion of poetry, but we're always
looking for more fiction and short

stories. Our layout is better, but
there's always room for improvement.
The biggest problem is lack of
funding and Winne's crusade has had
little effect on the committee's
decision.
Under Winne's direction, The
Circle has made a 180-degree turn­about.
The previous run-of-the-mill
magazine now receives top-notch
contributions and conducts in-depth
interviews with well-known personali­ties.
For example, in the fall edition,
The Circle contained five well-written
interviews with all Alabama guberna­torial
candidates. It's not easy to get
interviews with people like Albert
Brewer or Lt. Governor Jere Beasley.
They don't have time for interviews
with college magazines. However,
persistence won out, and the article
came through.
Mala Paulk, a fellow editorial board
member, interviewed Scottie Fitzger­ald,
the only daughter of famous
A lot of controversy arose this past week concerning a campaign
pamphlet produced by Plainsman editor candidate Dick Parker, an
eight-page mini-tabloid with "The Auburn Plainsman" on the front
page-
Several readers have contacted The Plainsman office to ask if the
newspaper itself was actually supporting Parker, and had produced the
tabloid to emphasize this support.
Individual staff members on The Plainsman each have their personal
preferences for editor candidates. However, The Auburn Plainsman, as a
newspaper, supports no candidates for any position.
This is not intended to discredit Parker. Many pe'ople, both staff and
non-staff, have commented on how the "Mini-Plainsman" was a catchy
idea, and an effective campaign pamphlet.
We agree with the SGA Election Board's decision that the pamphlet
did not violate campaign rules. It should also be emphasized that
nothing in the pamphlet was illegal.
The Plainsman, throughout its history, has never come out in support
of one candidate, and has always remained apolitical, with no intentions
of changing this policy in the near future.
We thought the mini-tabloid's political nature, coupled with The
Plainsman's non-partisan reputation, would be enough to dissociate The
Plainsman from the pamphlet. Since this is apparently not the case, we
would like to print this statement, to remove any doubts concerning it.
author F. Scott Fitzgerald. Gerald
Pouncey, a first-time contributor,
interviewed Bruce Je^nncr, gold-medal
winner and decathlon champ.
Winter quarter's Circle proved even
better. A section of country music
kicked off the issue and included
interviews with the Charlie Daniels
Band and with singer James Talley.
Jackie Romine and Ruth Dunn
traveled to Poarch, Ala., to interview
prominent Creek Indian leaders.
Lauren Steele reviewed the Alabama
Constitution—quite a task. Several
Plainsman photographers and other
campus shutter-bugs made their
debut in The Circle and contributed
excellent photographs.
Surprising as it may seem, more
than 150 poetry entries were con­tributed
for publication. Unfortun­ately,
space was limited and many
fine poems were excluded.
The Circle has become a winner, a
first-place winner at that.
Much of the Circle's success can be
attributed to the Auburn students
who have contributed their literary
and artistic talents. Many art majors
have shown an interest in contribut­ing,
and their work has added to the
overall look of The Circle. For many,
this is the first opportunity to have
work published.
With an estimated 18,000 students
at Auburn, it seems unreasonable that
only 6,000 issues are circulated,
representing only one-third of the
student body. If The Circle was a low
quality magazine, I would agree with
the Budget and Finance Committee's
decision. However, The Circle no
longer deserves to be scoffed at or
ignored. I'd like to see more first-place
awards and an increase in circu­lation.
Auburn students pay for The
Circle. Money from the Student
Activities Fee helps pay for campus
publications, including the Glomer-ata
and The Plainsman. There are
plenty of Plainsmans and Gloms. The
Circle deserves equal treatment.
Auburn students should have not
only the right, but also the privilege
to read and enjoy the abundant
literary and artistic contributions
published in The Circle.
Elections are here, and a new
Budget and Finance Committee will
soon be appointed. In all probability,
the question of increased circulation
will continue and the committee will
once again be forced to make a
decision. Perhaps they'll realize the
demand for increased circulation and
act accordingly.
Until then, look out for our spring
issue. Just make sure to get to classes
early at the end of the quarter so
you'll be able to obtain a copy of The
Circle, your student magazine.

member of The Circle's editorial
board.

'No air conditioning
makes women suffer
Editor, The Plainsman:
Although, according to one with
apparent great wisdom, "Auburn
women don't get pregnant" —
Auburn women do get hot!
I am a dorm resident in the Quad.
With this heat, which has come upon
us and doesn't appear to be letting up
any, it has become difficult if not at
times impossible to relax, sleep or
study in our accomodations. I will
agree that with fans it makes it a little
better, but I feel that I paid $160 with
the understanding that I would be
getting an air-conditioned room, and
I do not feel I should be expected to
purchase a fan to supplement this
agreement.
I have been told that May 1 is the
day that we are all sweating for ; are
the campus residents suffering alone?
Are the ones that are allowed to make
the decision finding themselves in our
same predicament?
I don't feel that we are demanding
too much — no more than we 're
paying for.

Architecture student says
Broun Hall is 'neglected'
Editor, The Plainsman:
The recent attention given to
Broun Hall is a good point for
students to reflect on the importance
of heritage preservation and the
historical perspective on campus.
As an architecture student, I spent
a grueling year of classes in Broun
Hall, and there are few places I like to
go to less. Broun has always been
destitute as a school building, but
while I was aware of its problems,
none seemed to stem from it being a
bad or old building. Neglect was its
biggest problem.
It one took a moment to look at it,
Broun is really a remarkable place,
offering unlimited possibilities tor
restoration and remodeling. The "ex­treme
structural changes" and
oddities in its design only add to
Broun's potential as a delightful place
in which to learn and work. Broun is a
more human place, and functions
better as an architectural lab than the
Architecture Department's current
edifice, Dudlev Hall.
Had Broun been remodeled as a
new architecture building, it could
have far better, served the purpose at
less cost for trenovation than the
construction of Dudley Hall. Remod­eled,
Broun would have been a more
viable working facility for the Archi­tecture
Department, since we are hard
on buildings and Broun was tough
enough to take it, something Dudley
has not done well.
Perhaps ROTC could move into
Dudley. Its design makes it look like
a military facility, and the army could
periodically storm it; it looks so much
like a fort.
The Langdon Shop may be old and
not too exciting, but look at their
construction detailing and scale, and
understand what a remarkable small
facility they are. They, too, can be
remodeled, and the University would
be richer for the preservation.
If Mr. Guerin is the campus
planner he claims to be, he learned
little if he can make a statement like,
"I didn't see where it deserved
historic classification." Such zeal for
new construction is to be applauded if
the demolished buildings are replaced
by better ones. But if Auburn's
current construction trends continue
at their present course, I would like
to remain in the old facilities. We
must remember we are a nation which
was slow to preserve its heritage. That
which is left should therefore be all
the more precious.
If the move toward newer buildings
continues, there may be a lack of
historical perspective for Auburn, and
as Mr. Floyd, an Auburn graduate
and architect, said/'Buildings tell as
much about Alabama as books do."
Let's keep Broun Hall open.

complaints
Afro-American Association president says black students 'will be heard'
Editor, The Plainsman:
Well Auburn, you've done it
again. For the third time in a row
you have proven that Auburn
University is not willing to make
progress in improving race rela­tions.
This is the third year in a row
that Richie Haley, a black student
here has gone out for cheerleader.
This year, as well as in the past
two, Richie made it all the way to
the final interview, just to be cut at
the end.
Oh, you might well say that
Richie didn't really lose out be­cause
he was selected as an
alternate, but every black student
here knows that this was only a
pacifying gesture used to try to
quiet our complaints. But I can tell
you right now—it didn't work.
We have no intention of letting
this matter slide by. This type of
prejudice must and will be ended.
In this year of 1978, there is no
excuse tor having all these black
athletes playing their hearts out for
Auburn University and not even
being represented on the cheer-leading
squad. This situation
wouldn't be so ludicrous if Richie
Haley hadn't been excellent at the
cheerleader tryouts, but that fact is
that he was just that-excellent.
So OK Auburn, you've won this
time. But understand that as black
students here at Auburn Univers­ity,
this situation has only served to
strengthen our determination to be
regarded as an active, visible body
at this university. We will be
heard. Gerrilyn V. Grant, 3LHY
President Afro-American Associ­ation
'Selecting a black cheerleader would have little adverse effect on Auburn '
Editor, The Plainsman:
Once again Auburn University
has proven that latent prejudice
exists on the "friendliest campus
in the South." In the past seven
years, blacks have tried out for
Auburn University cheerleader,
never to be chosen as an active
member of the squad. Being
remiss in my duty as a concerned
student, I had not attended cheer­leader
tryouts up until this time,
therefore I cannot comment on the
capabilities of those blacks as
compared to the field. From April
3-5, 1978 I was a spectator at the
Auburn University cheerleader try­outs.
Some of the people trying
out were good, some were incom­petent,
but among the top com­petitors
was one young black man.
Having observed Auburn cheer­leaders
at various athletic events for
almost five years, I became aware
that this particular young man had
all the style, form and athletic
ability of any male cheerleader that
was on the University squad from
1973 to the present date.
Richard Haley's performance at
all the tryout sessions was so
outstanding that there was no
doubt in my mind that he was a
frontrunner for a checrleading
position. After witnessing near
perfect demonstrations of cheer-leading
skills on the part of Haley,
it was a distinct shock to learn at
Toomer's Corner that he had been
selected as an alternate cheerlead­er.
Naturally I congratulate Mr.
Hayley on his achievement, but
has he really achieved his goal?
To me alternate means second
best, and Haley certainly cannot be
placed in that category, especially
when compared to the men who
supposedly surpassed him in skill
resulting in their being chosen as
regular members of the squad.
Race should not be a factor in
selecting cheerleaders but appar-
- ently it was. If Richard Haley was
judged on his abilities without any
consideration of race, color or
creed, he would surely be an
Auburn cheerleader today rather
than an alternate. When Auburn
University finally realizes that the
selection of a black cheerleader will
have little or no adverse effects on
Auburn alumni, the Auburn stu­dent
body and interested Auburn
supporters, a large step will have
been taken towards the elimina­tion
of prejudice leading to com­plete
equality of all Auburn
students.

'White supremacy ideal perpetuated at Auburn'
Editor, The Plainsman:
I just don't believe it! A
contemporary, multi-million dol­lar
educational facility like Auburn
University still adheres to out­dated
social policies. What am I
talking about? I am speaking of
Auburn's refusal to accept the
black student as a contributing,
viable force in the function of the
University.
Once again Richie Haley, a black
student tried out for cheerleader
and wasn't chosen for the squad.
He was selected as an alternate, but
come now Auburn, we all know
that Richie deserved better. In your
solid refusal to even give Richie a
chance, you have proven once
again that "Old South" ideal of
white supremacy is perpetuated
here at Auburn University.
Is it a matter of mental inca­pacity?
Or are you just too blind to
see? It is no mystery why the black
student enrollment is only I
percent. When blacks come to
Auburn University, you don't offer
us anything but the varied forms of
institutionalized racism which
seem to be your specialty.
This episode wirh Richie Haley
has been most dis asteful and will
eventually prove detrimental to the
reputation of the University. It is
my hope that racially-stemmed acts
such as this and others won't be
repeated. Because after all, did
God plan for it to be this way?
Carolyn L. Ivey, 4GSC
'Trying out for AU cheerleader well worth the effort'
Editor, The Plainsman:
During cheerleading tryouts the
first two weeks of this quarter, I found
out what being an Auburn Cheer­leader
is all about.
Though I did not make it, the
experience was well worth the time
and effort. Every student should have
the experience of trying out, but since
not everybody is cut out for being a
cheerleader, I will try to relate this
experience.
A clinic was held March 27-30 to
learn the cheers, jumps and routines.
Tryouts were the following week.
Although the cheers look simple to
perform, learning them is something
'Butgereit column an embarrassment'
Editor, The Plainsman:
It is sad that such an outstanding
college newsapaper printed the juve­nile
article by Betsy Butgereit in the
last issue or the Plainsman. Such
journalism detracts from the quality
of your paper and should be an
embarrassment to you and the De­partment
of Journalism.
As a faculty member and former
member of the Library Committee, I
would like to respond to Butgereit's
comments about the library and what
I feel to be a short-sighted attitude by
Butgereit.
Butgereit's initial assumption, that
Lisa Harris had checked out the book,
was erroneous. In fact, the student
who checked out the book paid
replacement charges before the end of
last quarter. Had Butgereit discovered
that, she would have had no basis for
her story.
I worry more, however, about
Butgereit's underlying attitude to­ward
the library than about the
shortcomings of her reporting tech­niques.
Butgereit seems to express
/»lec at having beaten the system. The
citizens of this state pay taxes to
support this university and our lib­rary;
you, Butgereit and your parents
pay taxes and fees fot attending
Auburn. It isn't hard to "rip off' the
establishment. It does take, however,
more effort and more tenacity to
build than to tear down or to "rip
off." Butgereit, I hope that you read
the fine letter from Mark Dyer on the
opposite page from your article. Why
don't you get concerned about the
abuse of our library? These things
would make much better news stories
than what you have to offer.
By keeping the book which you
indicate you will not return, But­gereit,
whom are you hurting most—
library staff, administration, faculty?
I would suggest you arc probably
hurting the poor student who needs
that book for a foreign language
course this quarter but cannot get it
because the replacement copy has not
yet arrived or because the book is out
of print.
The library staff is like most of the
rest of us: they are sometimes curt;
they sometimes make mistakes. I do
not condone bad library service or
being discourteous. I know most of
the library staff, and they do a good
job with the resources they have at
their disposal. The University Library
Committee has worked to obtain
more book money for the library and
President Philpott has responded
favorably to our requests. Who has
benefited from the books that the
money has bought? The students and
faculty. Butgereit, your selfish,
"beat-the-system" attitude has no
place at Auburn.
If you think that students are free
from all fines after they graduate,
check with the Registrar's Office.
They will not furnish you with a copy
of your transcript if you owe the
University money.
Butgereit, the faculty, the students
and the library staff would like to
thank you for celebrating National
Library Week (last week) in such a
"positive" and "up-beat" way!
Allen W.Jones
Professor of History and Archivist and
Chairman of Library Committee,

Editor's note: Three members of The
Plainsman staff were listening when
Butgereit called and identified herself
as Harris. She was told the book was
checked out to Harris and that Harris
owed the library $10.
else. Positions have to be done crisply
and exactly right.
Many hours during and outside the
clinic are spent perfecting these
awkward motions. Learning the
jumps was also difficult. For those
with no experience, this meant a week
of sore legs and stomach muscles.
The last two days of clinic were
spent learning double stunts. The
girls must have jumped on my back,
legs or I picked them up more than a
hundred times. This had to be
learned in one week, which added
more pressure to those trying out. To
go along with this, a grueling
interview was held the last day to test
personalities.
One of the most gratifying aspects
of tryouts was meeting everyone
involved in going out and meeting
the old cheerleaders. The people I
met were some of the friendliest and
classiest I have encountered at Au­burn.
Without tryouts, I never would
have gotten the chance to know these
people as well as I know them now.
Everyone worked and helped each
other, no matter what the circum­stances.
The Auburn cheerleaders we have
deserve credit and thanks for the
services they give. I would especially
like to thank the graduating cheer­leaders
for giving their time to help
with the clinic and keep the Auburn
cheerleading squad one of the best in
DOONESBURY
the nation. Through games, alumni
parties and other events, they have to
keep their personalities top-notch, to
represent Auburn in a high-class way.
They are leaders in every sense of
the word. I hope in the upcoming
year, the student body will give the
newly-chosen cheerleaders the back­ing
they deserve. I know they will
receive my full support.

Formosa Club President says
Taiwan is not an open society
Editor, The Plainsman
The smuggling of a letter, which
was mailed to President Carter, from
Taiwan by Stephani Wolfe (Oct. 3,
1977) stirred up some Chinese stu­dents,
and they made their comments
in The Plainsman (Nov. 3, 1977). I
would like to expose some facts to
support the viewpoints made by
Wolfe.
1. Taiwan is not an open society.
Under the 30-year-old martial law,
the civil rights have been restricted.
There is neither free speech nor free
press. It is true "open opposition to
government policies is not tolerated in
Taiwan" as indicated by Wolfe.
Actually, Taiwan is controlled by a
single party — Kuomingtom (KMT).
2. The KMT still adopts the
colonial concepts in making policy.
All the promotion in government will
depend on whether you are affiliated
to KMT. Although, 85 percent of the
17,000,000 population is native Tai­wanese,
they only have 5 percent of
representatives in the high level of
government.
3. In the past two years, there were
some cases concerning Taiwanese
students spied by students with KMT
membership just because of their
criticism over the government of
Taiwan. It happened on the campus
of MIT, Universities of Minnesota,
Washington and Florida. It is well
known that KMT students keep
watching the activities of Taiwanese
students on various campuses.
It will be a long story to tell the
miserable situation in Taiwan, but the
desire for freedom will motivate the
Taiwanese people to pursue their goal
for reaching an independent demo­cratic
state. Thank you Plainsman for
giving me the opportunity to clear up
the smoke on your campus.

Editor, The Plainsman:
In a March 7 memorandum, Dr.
Ben Lanham stressed the need for
Auburn University to reduce energy
consumption by 20 percent because of
the coal shortage this country faced at
that time. Emergency conservation
measures were enacted so the Univer­sity
could reduce energy consumption
by 20 percent. Included in these
measures were the early closings of
Dudley, Biggin and similar "after
hours'' areas on campus.
Because it was late in the quarter,
Dudley and Biggin were not closed, so
students could finish portfolios and
final projects due at the end of that
week. Even so, most students volun­tarily
kept lighting at a minimum in
these buildings. Shortly after Dr.
Lanham's memorandum, UMW
settled its lengthy strike with the
nation's coal producers, alleviating
the necessity for drastic measures.
During the first week energy
conservation measures were imposed,
a 38 percent drop in energy usage was
noted. Consider that Dudley and
Biggin Halls were never closed at this
time.) The second week these
measures were in effect, University-wide
consumption was down- to some
50 percent, much greater than the
original target of 20 percent.
In Dr. Lanham's second memo­randum,
dated March 27, he ex­pressed
the desirability to continue
the emergency conservation measures.
The second memo specifically stated,
"All conservation measures in effect
during the past three weeks be
continued during this week and until
further notice by the President's
Office."
Campus Security was then in­structed
to begin closing Biggin Hall,
threatening to arrest students who
refused to leave, but specifically was
directed to keep "hands o f f Dudley,
allowing that building to remain opep
24 houts a day. This problem was
eventually settled after countless
hassles and administrative red-tape.
Many art and industrial design stu­dents
were inconvenienced and
angered by the administration's dis­regard
for those of us who remain in
Biggin Hall.
We would especially like to thank
Charles J. Hiers and William Bullock
(of the Art and Industrial Design
Departments, respectively) for their
cttorts in correcting this situation.
We regret the show ot favoritism
toward those who occupy Dudley
Hall. We feel the rules, however
unfair, should be applied equally.
We also regret the administration's
insensitivity to the needs of Auburn
students. It seems that some admini­strators
are more interested in com­piling
impressive statistics than edu­cating
students. Even in the noble
cause of convening energy, what
extremes can a university afford
before the nobler purpose of edu­cating
its students suffers?
Gary Campbell, 4VAT
Editor's note: The.letter was also
signed by 15 other industrial design
and art students. Anyone wishing to,
see this list should contact Gary
Campbell.

A-7 Friday, April 14.1978 TheAuburn Plainsman
Man charged with attempted rape of two coeds
By Travis Copk
Plainsman Staff Writer
A 20-year-old Auburn
man has been charged
with three counts of burg­lary
and assault with at­tempt
to rape following
four separate incidents
occurring within a 56-
minute period late Friday
night and early Saturday
morning.
Two of the rape at­tempt
victims were Au­burn
coeds, and the other
was a former coed
visiting here for the
weekend.
Auburn Police De­partment
detectives
arrested Robert Louis
Oliver of 366 Railroad
Ave. Saturday after he
was identified in a line-up
held for the victims.
Whether it was one or all
three of the victims who
made the positive identi­fication
was not disclosed
by the APD.
Oliver had previously
been brought in for
questioning, but police
would not reveal what led
them to Oliver.
Between 11:35 p. m. Fri­day
and 12:31 a.m. Satur­day,
officers answered
four similar calls saying
that a man entered apart­ments
all within a six-block
area of Auburn. In
three of the cases, the
callers told police a man
had attempted to rape
young women sleeping
there.
According to a police
source, the first alleged
burglary took place at a
Cedarcrest Circle
address where a coed was
spending the night with a
friend. The woman said
the man awakened her,
turned off the lights, and
attempted to molest her.
The man reportedly
fled the apartment after
the two coeds sleeping in
the room screamed,
awaking two other
women sleeping in
another room, causing a
dog to bark.
The second complaint
came from a caller at a
Burton Street apartment
who said a man had
walked into the apart­ment
while he and his
date were watching tele­vision.
The man asked
what time it was and left
after being told to leave.
The third call to APD
radio dispatchers was
made at 12:10 a.m. from
an East Glenn Avenue
apartment.
According to a police
source, at that residence
a former Auburn coed
was asleep and two other
occupants of the apart­ment
were asleep in
another room when a
man entered the apart­ment.
The woman told police
officers she was awak­ened
by the man trying to
uncover her and when she
tried to scream he put his
hand over her mouth.
The victim did manage
to scream moments later,
awakening the other
people in the apartment
causing the m'an to flee.
The last complaint to
the police came at 12:31
a.m. from an Auburn stu­dent
who, according to
police, returned to his
Genelda Avenue apart­ment
and discovered a
man standing over his
sleeping girlfriend,
trying to unbutton her
clothing.
Police said the student
left his date in his un­locked
apartment to go to
a nearby apartment to
see his brother.
The student met a man
as he left his apartment
who asked him what time
it was and for a ride
home. The student refus­ed
to give the man a ride
and told him to leave.
After he talked briefly
to a friend on his way to
,his brother's apartment
he noticed the lights had
been turned off in his
apartment and became
alarmed.
He returned to his
apartment and report­edly
struck the intruder,
knocking him down. The
alleged assailant fled and
ran into the student's
friend.
The man was chased by
the students for three
blocks, loosing him on
West Glenn Avenue.
Oliver was apprehend­ed
just before noon on the
basis of descriptions
given by witnesses and
the victims.
He was detained for
questioning and officially
charged at 3:52 p.m.
Philpott to appoint new dean
By Danielle Murphy
Plainsman Staff Writer
After April 21, one of
five men now being inter­viewed
for dean of stu­dent
affairs, a position
held for 26 years by the
now - retired James E.
Foy, will be appointed by
President Harry Philpott.
Drew Ragan, assistant
to the dean of student
affairs, has temporarily
taken over the position of
dean, and also continues
with his job as assistant.
Ragan said taking over
the dean's position has
"put a heavy load on our
office at the present time.
We are having to do two
jobs."
Ragan said he is
serving in every capacity
that the dean of student
affairs would.
Being an advisor to the
SGA officers, serving on
the Administrative
Council, the University
Senate and the Academic
Administrative Council
and as Chairman of both
the Auburn Union and
Student Communications
are just some of the jobs
Ragan inherited.
Neither Ragan nor Dr.
Wilbur Tincher, dean of
student services, would
confirm the rumor that
Ragan is one of the five
being considered for the
position. Tincher did say,
"There is one campus
offical being consider­ed."
Tincher said the presi­dent
had asked the of­ficial's
name not be re­leased.
"President Philpott
will make the final de­cision,"
Ragan said.
' 'I will be glad when the
final decision is made. I
certainly hope the po­sition
is filled by the
middle of May."
Ragan said if the con­ditions
were favorable he
would be interested in
accepting the position.
Ragan said 144 ap­plications
were sent in for
consideration for the po­sition.
The field was nar­rowed
to five by the re­search
staff, a group of
student leaders and the
SGA president and vice
president. Tincher said
Philpott would make a
decision based on the rec­ommendations
by the in­terview
committee.
"All five seemed happy
that I called to let them
know they had been
chosen for considera­tion,"
Tincher said.
How soon Foy's suc­cessor
would take over
will "depend on whether
he comes from within or
from outside the Univer­sity.
All the people we are
talking with are in a job,"
Tincher said.

State District Engineer
Miles Ward said this
week.
Aluminun

on Fridays
Have any aluminum
cans you want to get rid
of? Reynolds Aluminum
Co. will have a truck in
front of the ROTC hangar
today and every other
Friday from 12:30 till 2
p.m. Any type of alumi­num
is acceptable if it is
of manageable size. No
steel or tin cans will be
accepted. The current
price for aluminum is 14
cents per pound.
The Auburn Sierra Club
in cooperation with the
Auburn Beautification
Council has a truck
trailer parked in the far
east corner of the Village
Mall parking lot (by
(Gayfer's) for paper re­cycling.
Any type of
paper is accepted.
Ward and County Road
Engineer Harry Ennis
traveled over the cracked
and pothole-filled road
last Monday making final
plans before starting the
project.
Work will be done from
Wire Road to Samford
Avenue to Cox Road.
"Everything has been
approved and we're
anxious to get through
with the job," Ward said.
The long-awaited
project of repairing and
widening the two-mile
stretch includes the in­stallation
of raised reflec­tive
markers in an at­tempt
to further promote
driving safety on the
heavily-traveled road­way.
Ward said the resurfac­ing
will take about three
days to complete.
Painting the center
stripes and installing re­flective
markers will then
be done a few days later
and will take about four
hours to complete.
According to Ward the
job was previously
scheduled to begin
Wednesday but deadline
on another project forced
Wire Road to be post­poned
until Monday.

of 4.0 grading
By Martha Tamblyn
Plainsman Staff Writer
The Faculty Senate ap­proved
a recommenda­tion
from the Academic
Standards Committee to
poll the faculty for its
preference of grading
scale systems at its meet­ing
Tuesday afternoon.
The Senate will recom-ment
to the Administra­tion
that the present 3-
point grading scale be
converted to a 4-point
grading scale to include
plusses If the faculty poll
"indicates a strong
preference for such a
system."
The grading scale al­ternatives
to be consid­ered
by the faculty are
the present 3-point
system, the 3-point
system with plusses
assigned, a 4-point
system and a 4-point
system with plusses
assigned.
The original recom­mendation
submitted by
the Committee provided
for tenured faculty mem­bers
only to be polled, but
was amended by the Sen­ate
to include all faculty
members from instructor
to professorial status.

a sports competition. "It

A committee of Carolyn
Draughon Village resi­dents
and fraternities
formed winter quarter to
reduce problems affect­ing
the two groups has
"definitely improved"
relations, Jerry Cook,
director of married stu­dent
housing said.
"The biggest problem
we've had to deal with is
the parking. The parking
for the frats and married
students is limited. When
we would have parties,
some of our members
would park at the Vil­lage,"
said Jim Mc-
Glnnes, Kappa Sigma
president.
"Now we tell them
when we are having
parties," he said.
Serving on the commit­tee
are Cook; Daniel Hay-good,
temporary dean of
student affairs; Mc-
Ginnes; Sigma Pi and
Sigma Phi Epsilon presi­dents
and representa­tives
from the housing
complex. Different
Draughon Village resi­dents
attend each
meeting.
According to Cook,
"This allows for an ex­change
of different opin­ions."
"There is a lot more
understanding, now that
we have a channel to air
our opinions," McGinnis
said.
"The fraternities and
married students are
planning a joint street
dance for May. That's a
sure sign that things are
improving between the
two groups," said Cook.
Vets host open house
By Julie Spafford
Assistant News Editor
The Auburn Student
Chapter of the American
Veterinary Medical
Association (SCAVMA) is
sponsoring the first an­nual
Open House at the
School of Veterinary
Medicine, Saturday,
9 a.m. till 4 p.m.
The public is invited to
attend. Mike Newman,
2VM, pubUc relations
director of J the Open
House, said^'We really
are expecting a large
turnout."
Newman cited several
reasons for the project.
He said Auburn's Vet
School is one of the top
ranked schools in the
country, and a great deal
of the credit goes to the
people of Alabama who
have supported it.
Newman said, "We
want to show these people
our appreciation by show­ing
them what we've done
with their support."
The Open House is also
to be a type of career-day
to allow students in bio­logical
sciences to see
what Veterinary medi­cine
"is all about and
what it has to offer
them," Newman said.
According to Newman,
"The Open House will
hopefully provide the
public with a better
undestanding as to how
veterinary medicine af­fects
our everyday life."
The six basic depart­ments
at the Vet School
will have exhibits and
programs set up on the
Wire Road campus, and
members of SCAVMA
will be on hand to answer
questions

Police chief Harding impressed with Auburn By Julie Johnson
Plainsman Staff Writer
Marion (Barney) Hard­ing,
an optimistic and
easy-going law officer
from Scottsboro, was
named Auburn's new
chief of police last week.
He will begin work May 1,
and from first impres­sions,
he'll find himself at
home in "The Loveliest
Village of the Plains."
"I'm impressed by the
friendliness of Auburn,"
said Harding.
"The first day I was
here for an interview, I
asked a student for direc­tions
to a store. He told
me to hop in. Not only did
he take me down theire,
but he also brought me
back. This speaks well of
the students in general,
and is indicative of the
friendliness of Auburn."
Harding foresees no
difficulties in being poll ce
chief of a college town.
"I'm sure It present*) a
unique situation, but I
don't see any problems.
We (the Auburn police)
won't be on campus with­out
the cooperation and
request of the Chief," he
said.
Harding anticipates
and accepts challenges as
quickly as others back
away from them. Born
and raised in Scottsboro,
Harding became a police­man
in Huntsville in 1958,
and four years later was
named a captain of the
force. In 1971, Harding
became Scottsboro's
chief of police. He was
warden of Atmore prison
from 1973-75, and has
worked with the Law En­forcement
Planning
Agency In Montgomery.
He is leaving the Mini-

f
mum Standards Training
Commission in Mont­gomery
to work in
Auburn. The commission
is responsible for the
selection and training of
police officers all over the
state.
Harding Is a dedicated
cop. "I've been exposed
to almost the entire spec­trum
of criminal justice.
The system still has its
problems, but it's the best
system In the world."
The lack of communi­cation
between various
components and willing-
W
ness to sit down and solve
problems" are two areas
Harding cited In which
the system needs to Im­prove.
When Harding takes of­fice,
he first Intends to get
acquainted with police
personnel. Harding feels
the police chief should
provide leadership within
the police department.
The main duty of the
Auburn police under
Harding will be to protect
the lives and property of
citizens in the commun­ity.
W
Harding has enloved a
high success rate in his
past police work. "Every
place I've gone, I've left
in a position such that I
could have gone back,"
said the new police chief.
Harding's new job as
chief of police at Auburn
will be a lot more de­manding
than the job he
is leaving.
"I really like it," Hard­ing
said. "I'm about
ready to settle down. Who
knows what the future
holds?"

The Auburn Plainsman Friday, APm 1*, IOTS A-12
Church remodeled into
social center for city
By Lonnie Adamson
Plainsman Staff Writer
The Auburn Heritage
Association has begun re­furbishing
one of the
city's oldest buildings,
the Ebenezer Baptist
Church, to transform it
Into a social center for the
Auburn community.
Louie James, president
of the Auburn Heritage
Association, said re-roof-
Jng the structure with
wooden shingles has been
completed.
"We hope to put in new
windows, lights and bath­room
facilities and paint
the exterior of the build­ing,"
he said.
The Alabama History
Commission is paying
half the cost of the re­pairs,
with the remainder
funded by the associa­tion,
which gets its funds
from private contribu­tions,
James said.
He said a requirement
to receive Alabama His­tory
Commission funds
was the use of wooden
shingles on the roof.
When completed, the
building, east of Ross
Street on Thach Avenue,
will be open for use by
organizations for a small
maintenance fee. It will
also be used by Project
Evergreen, a local senior
citizens group, for. a few
hours five days a week.
At all other times, the
building will be available
to other organizations,
James said.
Church Clerk James
Roberts said Ebenezer
Baptist was formed in
early 1866 and later the
church was moved from
the old building to its '.
present location on Pitts
in 1968 because the
church was in such a con­dition
that "the cost of
repairs was prohibitive.'*
Also, Roberts said,
parking space was limit­ed
at the old location and
the church needed to be
closer to the community
of its congregation.

Dr. Dorothy DiOrio, head of the
department of Foreign Language
and a French professor, was of­ficially
named to the rank of
Chevalier in the French Order of
Academic Palms by Monsieur Gil­bert
Brochet, French Consul Gene­ral
from New Orleans.
L'ordre des Palms Academiques
is an honor given to University
professors and educators who
"ceaselessly foster the French
language, literature and culture
through their devotion to France,
their teaching and their academic
achievement."
DiOrio, who lived and taught in
Europe for 12 years, was awarded
the decoration in August 1977, but

was not notified about it until
December 1977.
"The most exciting thing about
the Order of the Palms is that it's
such a rarity," said Dr. DiOrio. "I
was overjoyed about meriting it."
However, DiOrio has received
other honors. She was named
Castonoli, professor in the depart­ment
of foreign languages at Au-
University and an unendowed fel­lowship
has been named in her
honor by the American Association
of University Women.
The purpose of the Castonoli
Chair of Italic Languages is to
further the teaching of Italian and
Italianate culture at Auburn.
DiOrio has the responsibility of
' carrying out this program.
DiOrio, who has been at Auburn
for six years, is the author of
several articles which have been
published in professional journals
and of one book, "Leconte de Lisle:
One Hundred and Twenty Years of
Criticism."
Although DiOrio said teaching
and administrative duties take up
about three-fourths of her time, she
has many other interests. Besides
being an accomplished violinist,
she enjoys snow skiing, scuba
diving, horseback riding, tennis
and mountain climbing, including
a climb of the Matterhorn.
"My greatest problem is that I
have invested in so many things
that I haven't had the opportunity
to keep up the training in just one
area," said Dr. DiOrio.
"You just can't profit from the
investments of all the things you
do," she said. 9 1977 Br.w.d by Mitltr Brewing Co.. MlhvauhM. Wis.. U.S.A.

Sporting

Dear Coach:
Coach Paul Lambert
Basketball Coach
Memorial Coliseum
Campus
Dear Coach Lambert:
Welcome to Auburn and con­gratulations
on being selected as
Auburn's new head basketball
coach.
Having been closely involved
with the Auburn basketball pro­gram
the past five years, I'll give
you some helpful hints and friendly
advice.
Actually you're off to a pretty
good start. At your press confer­ence
last Saturday, you remained
non-comittal. You didn't make any
promises and you heaped praise on
your superiors. That's probably the
best way to survive at Auburn
University. Even if you're optimis­tic
going into next season, don't sav
so in public. It gets the fans' hopes
up and the worse thing they like is
to be let down.
Hint number two: One of Au­burn's
favorite sayings is "don't
muddy the waters." That is, even if
a terrible injustice is being com­mitted
against your program, don't
complain about it. Some people
around here don't like to think
there's anything wrong with Au­burn.
But of course, this rule
depends on whether you want to
last a long time or build a basket­ball
program. Unfortunately,
basketball is still in a position that
someone is going to have to stand
up for it. Of course, the key is
winning, and if you want to stand
up, you'll have to win.
Be careful who you trust. There
are some Auburn fans who will
befriend you in a hurry and then
"abandon ship" if the going gets
though. Fortunately, there aren't
many of them, but watch out.
You said at your press confer­ence,
"I feel I have the com­mitment
of the adminstration,
Coach Hayley and Coach Jordan to
have a fine basketball program."
Please don't feel too let down when
you find out how strong that
commitment actually is.
For heaven's sake, don't fly re­cruits
into Columbus and bring
them the "back way" to Auburn.
They begin to wonder where in the
world they're going. Unfortu­nately,
the Auburn-Opelika metro
isn't blessed with a big airport
facility. Consequently, the only
airlines small enough to land here
is something like Southeastern
Commuter.
But don't get discouraged. While
there are many obstacles to over­come
and probably many battles to
fight, Auburn has a lot more going
for it than against it.
One of the biggest assets is the
Auburn student body. Having
travelled for three years to every
school in the conference, I can
honestly say the Auburn student
body is the most vocal. There're a
hard-core group who are tremen­dous
and knowledgeable basketball
fans. They'll be there every game
win or lose and as you win, that
group grows larger. On almost any
given night, the student section by
far outnumbers the reserved
section.
One of the things that makes the
crowd so loud is Memorial Coli­seum
itself. While it may not be the
most beautiful arena in the confer­ence,
it rates as one of the loudest
and is capable of giving Auburn a
tremendous home-court advan­tage.
Probably the biggest recruiting
advantage for Auburn is Auburn
itself. Many have said Auburn is
probably the friendliest campus in
the South—and with reason. More
than one recruit has made Auburn
his choice after meeting a few of
the people here. So once you get a
recruit on campus, try not to
surround him only with the athletes
and coaches. Let him have a
chance to walk around the campus
and get a first-hand look at the
Auburn spirit. Contrary to some
rumors, it's still very much alive,
in closing, you said in your press
conference, "Our only goal is to
improve with every game." You
know as well as I do that's not
enough. Auburn fans are like fans
everywhere else. They want to win.
Effort and improvement is fine—as
long as you win.
You've got a big task in front of
you. Fortunately, the Auburn
basketball program is in much
better shape than it was six years
ago, but it still has a way to go. The
road will be tough, but if you
succeed, the rewards will be many.
Best of luck, and War Eagle!

Tiger tracksters
meet Alabama
Quit pinching, ump Photography: Fort Rlttoy
No, the umpire wasn't really pinching the Alabama
catcher. The Crimson Tider probably just had his
fingers crossed that Auburn's Steve Renfroe wouldn't
hit the ball as the Tigers had been doing all afternoon.
Auburn got a case of hot bats last weekend and took a
three-game sweep over cross-state rival Alabama.
The sweep put the War Eagles solidly in second place
in the SEC West. Auburn takes on non-conference foes,
starting with South Alabama this weekend, until April
22 when the Tigers travel to Starkville to meet
league-leading Mississippi State.
By Pat O'Connor
Plainsman Sportswriter
Auburn's tracksters line up Sat­urday
against rival Alabama for
what head coach Mel Rosen says
could be " the closest meet we've
had with Alabama since 1969." The
Tigers and Tide tied that year.
Auburn goes to the Tuscaloosa
meet with some strong perfor­mances
under its belt so far this
year including a 84-59 win over
Iowa in its only other dual meet so
far this season.
Alabama has produced some of
the best performances in the SEC
this spring. "They're strong in the
javelin, discus, pole vault and they
have the strongest high jumper in
the Conference (Jeff Woodard),"
Rosen said.
"They also have an NCAA
runner-up in the 600 (Joe
Coombs), who will be running the
400 meters," Rosen continued.
"Coombs against Willie Smith in
the 400 may be the best race of the
day."
Coombs has posted a better time
in the 400 this spring than Smith,
but the difference is slight. Coombs
New coach
best time has been a hand-clocked
45.70, while Smith's best has been
an electronically timed 46.12.
Rosen said the final score probably
would be no more than a five-point
difference either way. The Tiger
coach also said he expected third
place points to play a big part in the
meet.
Auburn will be relying heavily on
juniors Harvey Glance and James
Walker. Walker will have a busy
day, competing in the high hurdles,
the intermediate hurdles, the long
jump, the 440 relay and the mile
relay.
Glance will run in the 100 meters,
the 200 meters, the long jump and
the 440 relay. Glance has gotten
over an injured ankle that slowed
him in the indoor finals last month.
He said the ankle doesn't bother
him now when he runs, but he says
he experiences some pain when he
jumps.
Rosen shuffled some athletes last
weekend against a not-too-strong
field at the Wilbur Hutsell Track in
Auburn, but the Tiger coach says
he won't be doing that this Satur­day.
"They have a good track so we
should run well," Rosen said.
"We're shooting for an undefeated
dual meet season, and then we'll
think about the SEC meet."
Auburn has the fastest four times
Paul Lambert takes over as new Auburn basketball coach ^ « S £ 5 ^ £By Barry Webne for the Tigers this weekend. John
Plainsman Sportswriter
Paul Lambert has been named
as Auburn's new head basketball
coach after the dismissal of former
head coach Bob Davis.
Lambert comes to Auburn after
being head coach at Southern
Illinois University. After posting
an eight-season record of 127-84 at
SIU, Lambert is optimistic about
the Auburn program.
"Auburn has a great tradition,"
Lambert said. "We need to im­prove
our present program, and to
do this, we need to become team
oriented. Great players not playing
together as a unit don't make a
good team.
"I have a number of objectives
Aere at Auburn," Lambert com­mented.
"To start with, I'm going
to get acquainted with our return­ing
players. Secondly I want to get
a hold of recruits who have signed
the SEC letter of intent to come to
Auburn, and thirdly, I would like to
get new recruits interested in
Auburn again, the same players
which the previous staff was work­ing
on.
"We have outstanding potential
here at Aubrn because we are
young. The University has made a
committment to have a winning
basketball program, and I hope to
be part of it."
Lambert commented that it
wouldn't be a long time before
Auburn has a winning program. He
said it would even be possible next
season, but that he would like to see
improvement in each game the
Tigers play.
When asked what he thought of
the Southeastern Conference,
Lambert said, "I know enough
about the SEC to respect it. It's one
of the most well-balanced confer­ences
in the nation, and Kentucky
is the paramount team in the
nation."
Lambert announced that Herb
Greene, an assistant to Davis, will
remain on the Auburn staff. "Herb
has a great reputation and he's
done an excellent job," said Lam­bert.
"I hope to prepare him
someday to take over as head
coach."
Lambert has not decided on the
rest of his staff, but is considering
Auburn's other assistant coach,
Bob Pritchett, and two assistants
at Southern Illinois, George Iubelt
and Herman Williams.
Before coaching at Southern
Illinois, Lambert coached at
Hardin-Simmons University for
four years, where he posted a 57-47
record. Before that, Lambert
coached at Pittsburg State in
Kansas for three years, where he
earned a 44-29 record.
Lambert was the freshman
coach at Drake University from
1961 to 1963 with a 40-5 record.
During his 15 years as a head
coach, Lambert has compiled a
(See COACH, page B-S)
Tuttle has a 3:46.03, Joe Franklin a
3:47.49, Theo Abston a 3:47.53 and
Bob Hicks a 3:48.56.
Alabama has the best two dis­tances
in the discus and in the long
jump. In the discus Stan Cain has a
198-3 and Greg Martin has a 183-10.
In the triple jump, the Tide's
Maxwell Peters has the best leap of
51-9 followed by George Wynn, 51-6.
The meet begins at 3:30 p.m.
Saturday and Auburn's team will
return Saturday night.

NEW COACH PAUL LAMBERT
.Faces members of the media at press conference
By Chuck Anschutz
Assistant Sports Editor
The red hot Auburn Baseball
team continues its seven game
break from conference play with a
two game series against nationally
ranked South Alabama this week­end.
The Tigers, now second in the
SEC's western division with a 9-6
conference record, will play the
first game against the NCAA's
number six ranked baseball team
on Saturday and follow up with a
Sunday afternoon contest.
South Alabama has a pair of
heavy hitters who have been the
key to menacing opposing pitchers
all season. Catcher Steve Morrison
leads the team with a .446 batting
average while slugging outfielder
Mark Johnston carries a .422
average and has belted 16 home
runs.
The War Eagles, who have won
their last five SEC games (and six
of their last seven conference
contests), have been on an offen­sive
binge of late scoring 36 runs in
20 innings against Alabama last
week against the Tide's best
pitchers.
Dom Fucci, the team's batting
leader and first baseman, pulled
his average up over .400 and along
with shortstop Steve Montgomery
leads the team in doubles.
J. B. Brown has consistantly
impressed his coaches since his
return to the lineup ten games ago.
The junior second baseman is still
wearing a protective face guard
while playing to protect his frac­tured
cheek bone (suffered several
weeks ago against Mississippi
State when he was struck by a
pitch).
Auburn will play Columbus Col­lege
on April 18, Jacksonville State
(Ala.) on April 19 and Troy State on
April 20. All three contests will be
played at Auburn.
Game time for tommorrow's
game with South Alabama is 7:30
p.m. and the Sunday contest will
get underway at 2 p.m.
Tennis is way of life for Carrie Balcomb
By Johnny Haslam
Plainsman Sportswriter
Spring usually brings the
blooming of flowers, skinny
dipping in the old swimming hole
and the bouncing of tennis balls.
Many people play tennis for the
exercise and for the love of the
game, but for Carrie Balcomb,
tennis has become more a way of
life.
The slender, sun-tanned blonde,
with her hair in long braided
pig-tails can be seen on the varsity
tennis courts early any day
