Budget
Request includes nursing school
By Lisa Harris
Managing Editor
Auburn University has request­ed
a 47 percent increase in state
appropriations for the 1978-70
fiscal year, including a total of
$518,000 for establishing a school of
nursing.
The increased request is gen­erally
across-the-board, with, most
items in the budget reflecting
between a 49 and 60 percent rise.
One request is for $500,000 to
establish a school of nursing at
Auburn and $18,000 for nursing
scholarships. A similar request
was made for AUM. Administra­tive
Vice President Ben Lanham
said this would leave up to the

Education (ACHE).
McDonald, president of the
Brindlee Mountain Telephone Co.
of Arab, earned a bachelor's
degree from the University of
Alabama.
McDonald made his intention to
run for governor known in May
when he purchased 30 minutes of
statewide television time.
During the broadcast, McDonald
criticized his opponents, the
"three Bs" (Baxley, Beasley and
Brewer), for using their offices for
political gain.
He has adopted the theme that
the 1978 election is a "crossroads"
election for the state's future.
George McMillan is no stranger
to Auburn University. A 1966
political science graduate, he was
both SGA president and a column­ist
for The Plainsman.
After leaving Auburn, McMillan
earned a law degree from the
University of Virginia and set up
his practice in Birmingham.
McMillan was elected in a
special election to the House of
Representatives in 1973 and to the
Senate the following year.
As Senator, McMillan has intro­duced
several bills of interest to
Auburn students.
He sponsored the landlord-ten­ant
bill, the majority law bill,
which changed the legal age from
21 to 19 and a bill providing for a
student to have a vote on the
Auburn Board of Trustees.
McMillan has worked on prison
reform and introduced a bill which
has made it easier for the state to
prosecute rapists.
Registration for voters in
Alabama elections will be held
Monday and Tuesday in the
Union Ballroom from 9 a.m. to
12 noon and 1 to 4 p.m.
A 30-day residency in Lee
County is required and a form
listing persons who can verify
the residency is filled out at
the time of registration. An
elector must also be a legal
resident of Alabama.

another town, he or she can
register in Lee County. The
Board of Registrars\will in­form

that county's rolls.
legislature the establishment of
the school.
"It's a clear choice," Lanham
said. "They can establish a school
at both campuses, at one or at
neither. We're leaving it in the
legislature's hands."
The University has requested
large increases over last year's
appropriations for Public Service,
Research and Extension and the
center for vocational teacher
training.
Both programs were funded at
$500,000 per year when they were
first established. They were cut
back to $100,000 and $125,000
respectively last year, and this
year's request would restore the
original level of funding.
An increase of $14 million was
requested for Operations and
Management, the largest part of
the budget. It includes faculty
salaries, utilities and mainte­nance.
Lanham said the total
request of more than $44 million is
based on a formula from the
Alabama Commission on Higher
Education (ACHE) .
"The ACHE formula computes
our needs," I^anham said, "and
their figure is the one we use.
How much we actually get, of
course depends on the legislature.
This represents how much we
need, not how much we expect."
In addition to the budget re­quest,
the University has request­ed
approval for several new
buildings and capital improve­ments.
Lanham said, "If the
legislature approves these, it
merely gives us permission to
spend that amount of money, often
over quite a few years^The actual
construction is financed by the
issuance of bonds."
The list for Auburn includes 12
proposed projects, but, Lanham
said, only three can realistically
be expected to be approved.
Auburn is asking for $6 million to
improve engineering facilities,
which would include new buildings
and improvements of existing
buildings.
The University would also like
$2.75 million for vocational teacher
education facilities and $1.7 mil­lion
to build a central warehouse
and relocate Physical Plant offices
and shops.
"The Physical Plant office is in
a bad place right now," Lanham
said. "We'd like to move it out to
the perimeter of campus. Also,
that move would free land for new
engineering facilities if we re­ceived
approval for them."
About $8 million for capital
improvements at AUM was also
requested. Those improvements
would include building a library,
which AUM does not now have, a
new classroom building and im­provements
of the AUM site.
Auburn's requested budget will
be considered Nov. 17 by the
Alabama Commission on Higher
Education. ACHE consi­ders
requests from all universi­ties,
junior colleges and trade and
vocational schools and adopts a
unified budget for all higher
education.
After ACHE reviews the budget,
it goes to the Governor's office.
The Legislature will convene in
January and will begin consider­ing
all the budgets.
Oleson discusses appointment
By Connie Scott
Plainsman Staff Writer
The question of a permanent
replacement for the Health Cen­ter's
directorial position, recently
made available by the resignation
of Dr. Garth L. Jarvis, may be
irrelevant, according to Dr. Dun-lap
W. Oleson, newly appointed
acting director of the center.
"The University Health Com­mittee
may decide to abolish the
job," said Oleson, "and possibly
institute a new administrative
system.
"Instead of a director there
might be an administrator and a
superintendent the chief of nurses
and chief of medical staff would
report to. It would be similar to a
hospital administration."
Oleson, a 1946 graduate of
University of Chicago Medical
School, has been a staff physician
at the Health Center for two
years. With no previous adminis­trative
experience, Oleson said he
did not know what was fully
expected of him yet.
"I taught pediatrics from 1951-
52 at the University of Chicago
Medical School, but that's all,"
Oleson said.
Oleson said he specialized In
pediatrics and has practiced med­icine
31 years.
When asked if he foresaw any
of the same difficulties Jarvis
faced with staff and students, Dr.
Oleson said there would be some
pressures on him.
"The person In j;
this position I
catches a great If
deal of flak from f
all directions," |
he said. "I'm "
more interested
in caring for pa­tients."
Oleson said he
felt Jarvis was
under a great
deal of pressure
from the Univer­sity,
President
Harry M. Phil-pott
and The
Plainsman be­fore
he resigned.
Oleson affirmed
his confidence in Jarvis as a
clinic physician, saying he antic­ipated
no problems with Jarvis
working as a staff doctor.
According to Oleson, the Health
Center could provide other ser­vices
students want, if the stu-
DR. DUNLAP OLESON
dents were willing to pay extra
money for them.
"We can offer whatever ser­vices
the students want," said
Oleson, "but they must be willing
to pay for them. At present we're
acting under a very stringent
budget, and that limits the ser­vices
we can of­fer.
Our chief
concern is to
provide the best
care to students.
We can't be all
things to all
people."
Oleson said
seven or eight
full-time doctors
are yet to be
hired that were
allowed for in
c. the center's
budget. The cen­ter
now has four
full-time physi­cians
and one
part-time doctor,
Oleson said.
Their immediate
need is more part-time nurses,
according to Oleson.
"The decisions concerning
whether or not to expand or
contract health services will
ultimately be made by the uni­versity
medical board"
Go, Go!
'Felt like my ears were flapping in the wind9
By Ann Hecht
Plainsman Staff Writer
"It was great! I felt like my ears
were flapping in the wind."
Then came the command—
"GO."
"That half second of nothing,"
said Roy "Moose" Adams, 4GB,
"nothing above me and nothing
below was great—just you alone
out there."
Last Saturday Adams felt this
sense of wonder and timelessness
when he made his first parachute
jump.
What were Adams' feelings
before he jumped? "I never
doubted that I would go through it.
I always wonder if I can do things.
Was I scared in the plane?—no
Excited, but not scared. I packed
my own chute and I knew it would
work."
The jumpmaster put the stu­dents
at ease while the plane
climbed into the sky. Then came
the moment for Adams.
"I was first. I like doing things
first," he said. "I put my feet
down and stepped on the strut,
which is the cable supporting the
wing."
"GO!"
For a half second, reality is
momentarily lost in the splendor
of the moment as the jumper falls
freely through the sky.
Hours of training and drill went
into this one moment of wonder. It

"TOO BUSY TO BE SCARED"
.Roy Adams made first jump last week, said It 'great!'
started over two weeks ago when
Adams, who "likes doing different
things," joined the Parachute
Club.
In the Parachute Club, a
student goes to class for two weeks
or an equivalent of 14 hours. The
classes have a maximum of 15
students who have never jumped
before.
The instructor teaches the pro­spective
jumpers every aspect of
skydiving. They learn what to do
in case of a malfunction in the
chute, how to land normally and
how to guide themselves away
from danger such as power lines.
The student practices jumping
and landing from three, four, then
five feet without experiencing
shock. He knows what to do should
he happen to be positioned over
water or trees.
The student is drilled heavily on
the actual procedure of jumping
from the plane so, according to
Adams, "It becomes automatic."
The jumpmaster calls out the
initial orders to the jumper.
Immediately, upon jumping, the
skydiver arches his body into a
spread eagle position. This pre­vents
his body from being flipped
over. Step two is to find the
ripcord and in step three he pulls
the cord. He counts to three,
checks his canopy and floats down
* to reality.

In a 23-mlnute
meeting Tuesday night,
the Student Senate un­animously
approved the
Student Academic
Honesty Code as
amended by the Univer­sity
Senate. The ac­cepted
version included
clarified wording, which
Senate President Jenelle
Mims said "really gave
more attention to the
student."
One change was the
addition of the word
"alleged" describing a
student being brought up
for dishonesty. Mims
said this wording did not
presume the student's
guilt.
The other major
change was a phrase
sending the findings of
the Honesty Committee
to President Harry M.
Philpott "for review and

SIEGE OVER, HOSTAGES FREED - West
German Commandos stormed a Lufthansa
jetliner in Somalia Tuesday, rescuing all 86
hostages and killing four hijackers. The
hijackers, armed with plastic explosives, sought
the release of 11 prisoners from West German
jails and two Palestinians Imprisoned in Turkey
as well as $15 million from the Bonn
Government. Three of those prisoners in West
Germany's Stuggart jail committed suicide
after learning of the rescue failure. The only
hostage reported killed in the 4 and one half day
ordeal was the pilot, who apparently was shot
by the hijackers during a stop in Aden, South

who was refused admission to the University of
California Medical College at Davis in 1973 and
in 1974. Reynold H. Colvin, Bakke's lawyer,
contends.his client has been the victim of a
quota, unconstitutional because the school filled
its vacancies with minority applicants with
lower overall ratings than those of some
majority applicants who were rejected. Former
Watergate prosecutor Archibald Cox, represent­ing
the California Board of Regents, said
favoring blacks and other minorities in
admission to professional schools is the only

who retired from the Birmingham Police
Department last year, denied the charge. Stoner
made the accusation in a motion filed this week

No action by Philpott on Oswalt's

By Dick Parker
Assistant News Editor
The question remains
unanswered: Will Gene
Oswalt be reinstated as a
member of the Uni­versity
Health Commit­tee?
"No decision has been
made," President Harry
M. Philpott said Wednes­day.
The Health Committee
met in open session
Tuesday with Oswalt
significantly absent. Al
Thompson was the lone
student voice at the
meeting.
Oswalt resigned from
the committee Sept. 28,
saying, "I abhor the
secrecy" of the commit­tee
meetings. "The
'students have a right, not
just a privilege, to know
about the conclusions to
which our committee
came."
Oswalt was replaced
by John Davis, but Davis
resigned at Bush's re­quest.
Bush asked Oswalt
to return to his position
because of his knowledge
of the Health Center and
its investigation.
"If Gene isn't reap­pointed,"
Bush said,
"we'll lose one of the
most informed and in­terested
members on the
committee."

The committee mem­bers
discussed Oswalt's
possible reinstatement
Tuesday.
"I wouldn't have any
reservations in reinstat­ing
Gene," Reynolds M.
Cody said.
No members voiced
opposition to Oswalt's
reappointment to the
committee, although
Committee Chairman
Patricia Teer said she
would not comment be­cause
of "personal
reasons."
Teer said she would
convey the feelings of the
committee to Philpott.
Teer was out of town
Wednesday and had not
talked to Philpott.
Philpott said he would
not make a decision on
Oswalt's reappointment
until after he had talked
to Teer.
The next committee
meeting is scheduled for
Tuesday at 3 p.m. in
Harold Grant's office in
Samford Hall.
Each committee mem­ber
was assigned to
study the operations on
one or more aspect of the
Health Center.
Discussed Tuesday
were the lab technology
staff, the secretarial
staff and the Health
Center's pharmacy sup­plies.
Committee members
found no major problems
with those areas of the
Center, although Cody
said there was a com­plaint
that someone
"didn't like some of the
managerial practices."
"We'll take that up at
another time," Cody
said. "I don't think it
should be taken up at this
time."

Council approves

The Auburn City
Council approved bi­cycle

The ordinance also pro­vides
for no parking on
the street between 6

to allow for easy
access of students and
faculty to the Univer­sity.
The ordinance had
been tabled two weeks
ago after disagreement
about when parking
should be prohibited.
Monk Wright, a local
realtor who lives on
East Thach, had ob­jected
to no-parking
zones, saying residents
and their guests would
have nowhere to park.
Councilman H.C. Mor­gan,

said he thought
the bike lane proposal
was being "held up by

compete in a debate
sponsored by the Uni­versity.
Approximately 80 Uni­versity

First place in the
tournament was taken by
Grissom High School
from Huntsville, Ala,,
with Rutherford High
School fromPanama City,
Fla., taking second.
Individual events were
also included in the
tournament, and a north­western

won the majority of these
honors.
The Auburn University
Debate Team, which won
five of the eight debate
rounds at the Middle
Tennessee tournament
and four of the eight
rounds at the national
tournament in Kentucky,
will be competing again
this weekend.
According to Mark Col­lins,

By Susan Counts
Assistant News Editor
"The United Nations-
Should It Continue?," a
seven-hour slide pres­entation
which portrays
the purposes and history
of the United Nations will
be shown Oct. 24 in the
Union Building to cele­brate
the 32nd anni­versary
of the United
Nations.
The day has been
proclaimed, nationally
by Pres. Jimmy Carter
and locally by Auburn
Mayor Donald Hayhurst,
as UN Day, and is being
observed in more than
2,000 communities
throughout the country.
Hayhurst appointed
Dr. Daniel J. Wilson,
associate professor of
Political Science, and
Eva Maddox, 3PL, co-chairmen
of the 1977 UN
Day, in charge of plan­ning
the day's activities.
The slide presentation,
which will be accompan­ied
by a soundtrack, will
begin at 2 p.m. in 213
Auburn Union and will
run continuously until 9
p.m.
"It is a fascinating
documentary on world
history since World War
II," said Nelson, "and it
presents a balanced and
judicious portrayal of the
crucial role the U.N. has
played in dramatic his­torical
events during the
last three decades."
The presentation will
also serve to generate
interest in the annual
Southeastern Invitational
Model United Nations
which will be held in
February on Auburn's
campus.
Forum credit will be
given to Auburn students
who attend the presenta­tion
for a minimum of 90
minutes. Students want­ing
forum credit can
enter the program at any
time between 2 p.m. and
7:30 p.m.
"We hope this excel­lent
production will pro­vide
added insights into
the role of the United
Nations in world af­fairs,"
said Maddox, who
will serve as Secretary-
General of SIMUN '78,
ments," said Collins,
"and we will meet teams
from colleges in Cali­fornia
and Washington,
D.C.there."
Collins said the topic
he and Steinberg would
be debating would be a
resolution stating that
United States law en­forcement
agencies
should be given signifi­cantly
greater freedom
in the investigation or
prosecution of felony
crimes. He said special
emphasis would be given
to the issues of rape and
juvenile crimes.
Other tournaments
which the team will
attend this quarter are at
Pensacola Junior Col­lege,
Emory University,
Wake Forest, University
of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill, Montevallo
and Samford College.

I looked down at my desk...well,
actually I assumed my desk was still
there under that pile of papers.
Then I looked up with an engaging
mixture of embarrassment and hurt
indignation.
"A messy desk is the sign of a
genius," I said in a vain attempt at
rationalization. But I could tell my
voice was trailing off as I desperate­ly
added, "It's been a busy week
and I haven't had the time..."

admit, they had a point. My

Healthier Center
Last week Health Center Director Garth L. Jarvis resigned and Dr. Dunlop
W. Oleson was named acting infirmary director.
The University took a positive step by accepting Jarvis's resignation, and we
applaud the choice of Dr. Oleson as interim director.
But all is not well at the beleaguered Health Center.
Two nurses, Supervisor Janis Pyle and nurse Denise Daniels, were fired for
what we consider flimsy reason, while Jarvis, the cause of much of the Health
Center's problems, is being retained as a staff physician.
We feel the firing of the two nurses was both inappropriate and unfair.
If keeping Jarvis is an example of the administration's heartfelt compassion
and desire to show mercy, the attempt is, at best, misguided.
Our suggestion: either rehire the two nurses or fire Jarvis.

We simply cannot understand the logic behind this tragic decision.
Auburn students and area residents are suffering from an illogical
agreement between the IFC and the UPC which prohibits bumping concerts.
We normally trust the UPC to provide decent concerts and musical
entertainment, and, in general, it does an adequate job.
But, if Maloy's actions are indicative of possible things to come, can we
expect the UPC to turn down John, Paul, George and Ringo because their
concert might be scheduled within 14 days of the IFC's Step Sing?
Concerts are big business these days, and require sound business methods,
not prohibitive traditions. Please, in the future a little common sense?
Foy's Union
Your children may not have the privilege of hearing Dean of Student
Affairs James E. Foy yelling his unique, "Wah Egul," or watching him being
tossed in the air by the cheerleaders, but naming the Student Union Building
after him will preserve the memory of his service for future generations.
We support the SGA Student Senate's resolution to rename the Student
Union Building in honor of Foy. It is only proper that a man who has spent
27 years of his life serving the students of Auburn University should be
remembered by the generations to come. They won't have Foy to put them at
ease during freshman orientation. They won't have Foy leading 2 p.m. pep
rallies every Friday at Mary Martin Hall. And they won't have Dean Foy
striding across campus greeting everyone he sees with a wide grin.
What they will have is a building named after a man who has given more
than eight hours a day to this University, a man who embodies the spirit of
Auburn and a man to whom this University will remain indebted far beyond
the 27 years he has served it.
He didn't give the University huge sums of money, but the spirit and pride
he personifies is a gift for all ages, for all students.
Register to vote
The 1978 Alabama state-wide elections could be the most important in a
long time, with wide-open races for gubernatorial and congressional posts.
It would be a pity if Auburn students missed out because they weren't
registered to vote.
The Lee County Board of Registrars will be on campus Monday and
Tuesday to register voters in the Union Ballroom. Any Alabama resident
who has lived in Lee County for one month is eligible to register here.
Since the primaries and election will both be held during fall quarter
next year, many students may be unable to vote in their hometowns. Any
student who will be in Auburn next fall should take advantage of this
opportunity and register now.
The last on-campus voter registration drew more than 1,000 students.
Three or four times that number are eligible this year. If you're not
registered, don't waste this chance.
the staff, so I made a mental note
to do my best to clear away the
junk—after they left, of course.
It was like a scavenger hunt. On
my desk I found the program from
the Auburn-Southern Mississippi
football game, a portfolio on
gubernatorial candidate Fob James
Jr. and a Cuban magazine entitled
"Gramma," whose subscription I
was supposed to stop long ago.
Then I looked around the office.
A newspaper on the floor, with
"Bert Lance Resigns" as its main
story, had obviously been there a
while. The remnants of a chefs
salad I'd had for lunch five days
ago were forming bizarre mold
compounds. And the tool box I'd
taken out of the business manager's
car four weeks ago was still there.
How do I rationalize it? It's
impossible; I can't say the office
looks "lived in " because there's
definitely something living in the
chefs salad. And I'm not one of
those people who can say, "I know
where everything is," because I
don't.
Still, I looked around the office
with a twinge of pride. Can
President Jimmy Carter say he has a
box in the Oval Office containing
four cans of motor oil? Can anyone,
for that matter, say he has a copy
of the Atlanta Constitution from
Oct. 1 lying on top of a box of
typing pafer? And how many

CITY DESK
people still have the "Newsweek"
magazines from when Nixon re­signed?
But let's harken back to my
earlier obersvation: "A messy desk
is the sign of a genius." It's more
an apology than anything else. And
it's not original. It's been passed
down from Plainsman staff to
Plainsman staff, and serves as a
comfort to any section editor who
made a fool of himself screaming
for a specific photograph, only to
realize he used it for a placemat.
But it's true. A messy desk IS the
sign of a genius. Such great minds
as Albert Einstein or Thomas Edison
would not have won the Good
Housekeeping Seal of Approval, but
they didn't let that get them.
And this sloppiness extends to
the arts, too. Your typical image of
an artists' s studio consists of paint
all over the floor, canvases strewn
carelessly throughout the room and
a genius in a paint-stained smock
creating in the midst of chaos.
I also realize certain advantages
from the mess in my office. If
someone comes in and demands to
know what I did with his mediocre
editorial, I can say, "Gee, it's in
here somewhere. I know you re-wote
it 12 times, but if you want to
do it one more time I'll be happy
to run it." By that time, I have
communicated my point tactfully.
But I still come in for my fair
share of insults, from the aforemen­tioned
ultimatum from the staff to
the way people say, "It's probably
in John's office," no matter what's
being looked for.
However, I kind of like my messy
office...from the ragged old couch
which sags indiscriminately to the
poster asking the deep, philosophi­cal
question, "Is there funk after
death?"
And I'll be happy to put my
signature on any charter for Messy
People, Inc..if I ever find my pen.
U.S. should not sever ties with Taiwan
The news spread quickly through­out
the island. The defection to the
Republic of China on July 7 of
MIG-19 fighter-pilot Fan Yuan-yen,
41-year-old squadron leader of the
Chinese Communist Air Force,
brought immediate excitement to
the people of Taiwan.
Although the day coincided with
the 40th anniversary of the War of
Resistance against Japan, the so­lemnity
in which the day is usually
marked was replaced by jubilation
rarely seen since the arrival of
14,000 anti-communist prisoners of
war from Korea in 1953.
The consensus among local ob­servers
was that the defection, the
fifth among communist pilots,
proved "the government of the
Republic of China (ROC) on
Taiwan is the legitimate representa­tive
of the Chinese people...Let
Fan's defection be a warning to
those appeasers in the United States
not to entertain any more illu­sions."
Even though several months
have passed since the defection, one
of the major topics still concerns
this incident, the likes of which had
not taken place for 12 years.
In English classes at the Yaichung
YMCA, students expressed their
feelings on the matter. "He has a
wife and children on the mainland,
yet these factors did not dampen
his desire for freedom:realizing the
consequences of his deeds to his
loved ones."
During a press conference in
Taipei, Fan said he "hoped the
mass media would convey his strong
desire to the Carter Administration
to get his family members from
under the Communist yoke and
join him in Free China." At that
time he also expressed worry over
the visit Secretary of State Cyrus
Vance made to Red China in
August. (Fan's concern proved just
when the first demand handed to
the United States by Communist
Chinese officials was to sever any
and all ties with the country of
Taiwan.)
I saw Fan while I was on a
camping trip at Surt Moon Lake, a
scenic resort area in Taiwan, when
he was touring the island with
government officials shortly after
his defection. A picture of his
introduction to one of the Amer­icans
in our YMCA group was
printed in the two major Taiwan
newspapers.
Accompanying the picture was a
misquote. She was, reportedly, to
have invited Fan to visit Jimmy
Carter at the White House in order
to discuss "human rights." A first
reaction to this statement may be
"Propaganda!" Perhaps, but if you
understand the situation in Taiwan
then you can view the misquote
from a different angle. You then
may realize why there is all the
excitement regarding a defecting
lone pilot from Red China.
When Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Chinese
Constitution was adopted by the
Nationalist Government in 1946,
one year after Chiang Kai-shek had
retreated to Taiwan, it reflected the
ideas of democratic rule.
Stephanie.
Wo,fe ? py
As the question arises, "Couldn't
there be a government on the
mainland and a separate Republic
of China?" there is a ready
response: "Taiwan has been a part
of China throughout recorded histo­ry.
Its people and culture are
Chinese. Its aspirations -are Chinese.
Separation is as unthinkable as a
Republic of Hawaii, Alaska, Texas,
or California."
Thus, we see the diplomatic
difficulty in dealing with Taiwan.
In the past, the country has been
expelled from the United Nations—
permanently. Taiwan was kept from
compering in the Canadian Olym­pics.
Now they worry that the
United States will ultimately sever
formal ties with them in an effort
to normalize relations with Red
China.
No United States government
executive has visited Taiwan since
Richard Nixon's stop when he was
vice president. Yet, the people of
Taiwan view the United States with
great admiration. An editorial in­cluded
in the "China Post" read:
"It is hoped President Carter will
understand that we are not a
burden on the United States, but
an asset, and we are not in the way
of United States diplomacy, but a
safety belt for it. Normalization of
relations between the United States
and Red China will only lure the
United States into a road of war
and defeat."
The Republic of China is the last
democratic stronghold in the Asian-
Pacific area. It also has the function
of checks and balances for the
Chinese communists, Russia and a
rearmed Japan. American citizens:
missionaries, servicemen and Eng­lish
teachers living in Taiwan share
these si ne feelings.Not wanting to.
leave the country, they follow the
Carter administration's decisions
closely.
In the words of an American
living in Taiwan, "We are not in a
position to say anything about
Washington-Peiping normalization
moves. But we insist that the
United States should not realize
normalization at the price of the
future of 17,000,000 Chinese
people on Taiwan who have enjoyed
remarkable economic development
under the United States defense
treaty for more than a quarter
century."
True, Secretary of State Vance
traveled to Peiping more than a
month ago, but the issue remains a
real matter until a final solution
is reached. Although one-fourth of
the world's population occupies the
area of mainland China, the United
States should not try to answer to
every whim of the Communist
regime.

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.
Auburn is a city with a unique
problem. More than half its popula­tion
is made up of transcient
individuals who spend no more
than four or five years in the city.
And this half of the community is
often at odds with the permanent
residents.
The students as a group are a
permanent pan of Auburn. But as
individuals, they rarely get involved
in community activities or politics,
and usually understand little of
what goes on in the town outside of
university-related activities.
The town, for its part, depends
on the students for its existence.
The University is the only industry;
without it, Auburn would just be a
wide spot on the interstate or a
suburb of industrial Opelika.
This is the root of the problem:
two groups which rarely overlap,
dependent on each other but often
mutually antagonistic. Most of the
antagonism develops when neither
tries to understand the other.
Many students, not understanding
the complexities of city budgets or
red tape involved in projects, expect
more of the city than it is able to
give.
For example, at a recent city
council meeting, several students
stood up during the "citizen's
communications" and asked what
the city was doing to help alleviate
the parking problem or housing
shortage.
Even after being told the former
was the University's problem and
Lisa
Harris
the latter in the hands of private
business, the student pressed on
until Coucil President Bill Allen
made him understand the city could
not solve his problem.
This attitude of demanding ac­tions
before understanding facts is
one reason city residents often
resent students. It's hard to remain
calm and unfrustrated in the face of
uninformed complaints like these.
Many non-student residents are
also victims of misconceptions. Rela­ting
to students only as business­men
or landlords, many sec stu­dents
as a nuisance that plays loud
music on weeknights, speeds in
residential areas and bounces
checks.
They often fail to understand
student's shortcomings, such as
often abysmal knowledge of money
management, or fail to be flexible
in areas affecting only students,
such as sending utility bills during
quarter break.
For many students, Auburn is
their first experience with living in
a small Southern town. It offers the
opportunity to learn about, and
become a part of, a community.
The students offer the town a
means of understanding the atti­tudes,
beliefs and customs of
different parts of the region or
country. As young peopel, students
can provide a fresh innsight into
areas that may have been stagnant
too long.
The benefits are only theoretical
if students and the town remain
insulated from each other, touching
only in the most essential business
transactions. At the moment, Aub­urn
is really two communities which
happen to exist in the same place.
The SGA has been making a
concerted effort over the past few
years to bring students into the
community in an active role,
including working for a change in
date for city elections and getting a
student liaison member for the city
council. The efforts will do no
good, though, unless students get
more involved.
Students should make a special
effort to learn about the community
where they will spend four years.
Join civic and church clubs, go to
city council meetings, vote if you
can. Get outside the strictly stu­dent-
oriented activities. With a
little effort some of the frustration
and hostility can be replaced by
understanding and communication.

'Help! I need some sleep!
Can't Greeks be quieter?'
Editor, The Plainsman:
Help! I need some sleep!
I live on Gay Street near the Fiji,
Phi Kappa Tau and Kappa Alpha
houses. I know that fall is a "good
time" for the frats, but can't they be
a little quieter about it?
Monday, Oct. 10, one of the above
mentioned houses had a "disco"
until about 1 a.m. The "music," if
it can be so named, was as loud as if
it had been in my own living room.
As a poor, lowly, non-greek
student, I implore these young men
to turn down their volume. I enjoy a
Earty as much as the next guy, truth
e known, more. But 1 a.m. on a
Monday night? Don't your girl­friends
need their beauty sleep? I
need all the help I can get.
This past summer and spring I
allowed you to strip my lawn of the
lovely bamboo stand which provided
my only shade so you could enjoy
your Polynesian "jungle parties. I
have allowed you to cover my
automobiles with blue and orange
tempera and have been considerably,
patient when stranded at Toomer's"
Corner for hours while you engaged
in post-game revelry. But please, I
need some sleep.
Go ahead and carouse, but limit
your enjoyment to somewhat civil­ized
hours. "Brick House" rings in
mv ears!
Ah, to sleep, perchance to dream.
I guess I'm getting old.

Chinese students rap Wolfe's heroism
Editor, The Plainsman:
Being a group ot Chinese stu­dents
of Auburn University, we
were deeply upset by one of your
articles in last week's Plainsman.
Here is our point of view concern­ing
Stephanie Wolfe's trip to
Taiwan.
With her "heroic adventure" in
a country about which she seems to
know so little but love(?) so much,
Wolfe has managed to impress the
world that our country is under
such strict dictatorship that even a
small letter can only be smuggled
out of the country with the help of
a messenger from heaven. How
lucky she was to get out of there
and how dare the customs officials
who did not check her purse! The
poor guy must be dead by now for
not doing his dirty job.
Compared to Wolfe's two months
distributing the "Good News on
Earth" to our country, we have
been in the United States for much
longer than that. Let us assume that
one day a good buddy American
asked one of us to deliver a letter
for him to our government, and in
that letter a group of "Alabama-
NESE asked the President of our
country to help them fight for the
independence of Alabama in the
United States. We would not want
to do that because we know we are
too much of a stranger in this
country and we have no right
whatsoever to determine what is
'Rules, regulations keep
America functioning?'

In medieval England there was a
tax on windows. As a result, people

Today we give tickets to

discourage these violations.
Also today it is mandatory for
everyone who works, trades, builds,
manufactures anything, provides a
service or in any way is a part of

It was a pity that Wolfe never
seemed to bother to see things at

she had ever bothered to find out
that the letter she carried represent­ed
the opinions of the 160,000
members of the Presbyterian Church
in Taiwan. Indeed, we wonder how
tiany of them knew of her "secret
nission." There are about a hun­dred
students from Taiwan on
campus, about half of them are
Taiwanese. Please ask any one of
them, Wolfe (and no whispers
please!), and you would be sur­prised
how different they think in
comparison with your "160,000

in Taiwan."

of Auburn University
Auburn a better place to live and go
to school"; whose spirit is un
surpassed and indeed holds the
world's record for yelling "War
Eagle!" I am sure that many of you
have met this man, and know of
whom I am speaking. This man is
James E. Foy.
I have had the pleasure of working
as secretary to Dean Foy for the past
seven months and, in doing so, have
come to understand what is meant by
"Auburn Spirit." I have never met
anyone so dedicated and devoted to
his job as Dean Foy. But, the
position of Dean of Student Affairs is
not just a job to him. It is a great
deal of fun and gives him a chance to
meet the students that mean so much
to him. Dean Foy's door is never
closed to anyone. He is always willing
to listen.
Dean Foy possesses many qualities
that make him a special person to the
students, his colleagues and friends.
Another of these qualities is his
ability to make anyone feel "at
home" in Auburn. Homesickness is
quite prevalent among those who
first come to Auburn or to any new
home. I felt quite a bit of
homesickness myself when I first
came here to live and work. Dean
Foy makes Auburn as close to

There are not possibly enough or
adequate words to describe the
influence that Dean Foy will leave
with Auburn upon his retirement
March 31, 1978. We do know,
however, that Dean Foy leaves with
Auburn a large part of himself that
will always be treasured. Dean Foy,
of course, will not be leaving
Auburn; I would bet you will see
him at pep rallies, football games
and all other University events you
may attend. I am sure also that there
are many "War Eagles" left in this
man. So, in tribute toDean James E.
Foy, the only words that to me
adequately describe this very special
man are: "War Eagle!"

Sisters of Delta Gamma thank
campus for aiding roadblock
Editor, The Plainsman:
The sisters of Delta Gamma
would like to gratefully thank
everyone who contributed to the
Road Block held Oct. 7. We were
very pleased with the friendly
attitudes and helpfulness of the
Auburn students and the Auburn
community.
The Road Block was a tremen­dous
seccess, with $957.63 collected
in only three hours. AH money
collected will go to the blind.
It is great to know that so many
people care about helping others.
Thank you, Auburn!

1 Canal treaty supporters ignore facts'
HKPT wm\wijm©!fflywp&wwz- •
Editor, The Plainsman:
It seems as though Hugo Cuevas
and everyone else supporting the
Panama Canal Treaty are simply
ignoring the true facts about the
Canal and are making up vague
and unreal reasons as to why we
should give it up.
Former California Gov. Ronald
Reagan, in a recent interview in
"Congress Today," had some an­swers
to the questions Cuevas and
others have asked.
First, in response to Cuevas's
question of the United States
inciting Panama to rebel against
Colombia, Reagan says: "—This
country did something that to my
knowledge no other country has
ever done in a situation similar to
this. Panama wouldn't even exist.
Panama was part of Colombia. They
wanted to rebel. They wanted to be
free. The treaty had originally been
with Colombia, and with the
French, but where the canal was to
go was in what then became the
state of Panama. We not only paid
Panama, we paid Colombia."
Cuevas says that the United
States has made a profit on the
Canal. This is nonsense. Reagan
answers, "We have never amortized
off the cost of the canal. That still
stands as a debt to the United
States Treasury. We have never
made a profit on the Canal. We
have run it for the benefit of the
entire world. We have put more
than $200 million a year into the
economy of Panama.''
Some people think that the Canal
isn't ours, and others think that we
shouldn't keep it because we think
it is ours. Reagan says that after the
treaty was signed, "we bought from
the private owners every piece of
property, even paying on homestead
claims, so that not only do we have
a treaty arrangement with Panama,
we own the real estate."
Even though I have listed a few
of the reasons for keeping the
'People keep spirit no matter what'
Editor, The Plainsman:
After watching a totally unreal
football game Saturday at Grant
Field, I discovered that no matter
how Auburn plays, some people
keep that spirit throughout
game and afterward.
the
O0MEQN,6RW«Wr\! NOTTHMPUM^ONE AGAIN OT~1HEF£T OFFICE MAKIN&A PRPPT/..
Having waited until the last
minute to obtain tickets, I found
myself seated directly behind our
band. My first thought was "How
terrible! I'm going to be blasted
from here to kingdom come." Big
tubas blocked my view, and
through orange ana blue hats, I
caught a slight glimpse of the
opening play.
A companion of mine muttered
something under his breath. With
that, one of those tuba players
turned around and smiled.
"We'll have these things out of
your way as soon as we can," he
said. And they did. Throughout the
game, I noticed the spirit of our
mighty band, and I felt proud.
They were fired up all the way
through the game, and when it was
over, a few yelled a big "War
Eagle!"
I'm glad to go to a school where
so many people hang in there, both
when we're winning and when
we're losing.
Wanda Kenton, 3GJM
Canal, people like Cuevas and Lisa
Harris will still believe that the
United States should still give the
Canal away, even if we have to pay
them $70 million a year, so they'll
take it from us. We should keep
the Panama Canal. It is safer for us
to keep it than to give it to the
dictator in Panama.
Even though there are threats of
disturbances, unrest and possibly
even sabotage, the United States
cannot allow itself to be forced into
giving up something it is morally
wrong to give up.

'If Sparkplug can run
free, don't fine owners
of unleashed dogs'
Editor, The Plainsman:
My gripe is probably pretty
insignificant compared to some, but
since your article about Sparkplug
the fire station mascot I have had
this on my mind. How can
Sparkplug be allowed to roam the
streets without a leash while every
other dog in Auburn is subjected to
impoundments, and the owners a
stiff fine, for the same act?
I realize that for the dogs' safety,
as well as for everyone else's peace
of mind, no dog should be turned
loose to run without supervision. If
not for the fact that it's against city
ordinance for a dog to be without a
leash, I would like to think that the
Auburn firemen cared enough
about their mascot to keep him safe
at the station and take him for runs
in the afternoon the way most of us
dog owners do.

Auburn theatre head
announces resignation
Dr. A. Cleveland Har­rison,
head of Auburn
University's department
of theatre since 1970,
has announced plans to
resign his headship and
return to full-time teach­ing
at the end of the
current academic year.
Harrison, who headed
the department during
its major growth and
development period, will
be given a dual appoint­ment
in the Schools of
Architecture .and Fine
Arts and Arts and Sci­ences.
He will become
Auburn's first professor
of theatre and speech.
"Dr. Harrison has
given us strong leader­ship
throughout his ten­ure
and we look forward
to his full time service
as professor," said Dr.
Taylor Littleton, vice
president of Academic
Affairs. "He will, In
part, be developing in­terdisciplinary
course-work
emphasizing the
role which the humani­ties
and fine arts can
play in the education of
students in our profes­sional
programs within
the University."
Dean Keith McPhee-ters
noted that Harrison
pbsseasesia strong back­ground
in interdisciplin­ary
studies and was
active in the area during
his earlier years at
Arkansas University and
at Auburn before the
growing department
merited more adminis­tration
attention.
"His curriculum inno­vations
will continue to
contribute to quality the­atre
education in the
future," said McPhee-ters.
"We are all ap­preciative
of Dr. Har­rison's
devotion to the
planning and develop­ment
of Telfair Peet
Theatre and look for­ward
to his continuation
as a faculty member
and to his participation
in future theatrical pro­ductions."

The jeep bounced
alOng the gutted dirt
road, passing several
llamas that stood In the
tall grass. Further on,
past the animals, sev­eral
white swans
skimmed gracefully
close to the edge of a
small pond. Ahead two
brightly colored macaws
screeched loudly as the
jeep approached.
These animals aren't
Inhabitants of African
jungles. Rather they live
on a farm only a short
drive from Auburn and
are part of the only
federal and state li­censed
zoo affiliated
with a pet shop. Both
are owned by former
Auburn student Robert
Noah Bowman.
Bowman's farm also
houses a Clydesdale, the
stately symbol of An-heiser-
Busch, given to
him by a zoo, several
pygmie goats, a South
American Ostrich Rhea,
birds from the smallest
finches and lovebirds to
the only swans In Lee
County to a Yellow-
Napped Amazon that
sings War Eagle. "My
macaws even dance and
make jungle bird
noises," Bowman said.
"I've had every kind
of cat from the smallest
geoffry cats to a lion,
including a cougar, bob­cats
and leopards,"
Bowman said, "I once
had the largest collect­ion
of geoffry cats in the
United States, and the
tigers I have now came
from the largest litter
ever born, which were
five."
Bowman also owned
a lion that had the poten­tial
of being the largest
in captivity. Before the
lion died at the age of
two and a half years, he
weighed 600 pounds.
Most lions are not fully
grown until they are five
years old, he added.
At present, Bowman's
personal pets include an
animal that is half bob­cat
and half domesti­cated
cat and a Chesa­peake
Bay retriever,
Sally.
Not only has Bow­man's
farm grown, so
much so that he "was
moved out of Auburn,"
but his pet store in town
has as well; In fact, its
sucess put three others
out of business.
"Pet stores are a
thing of the past," Bow­man
noted. "Most of
them fall because the
owners wanted to make
quick sales Instead of
trying to satisfy custo­mers
and get them to
come back later.
"We try to sell our­selves,
not just our mer­chandise.
If someone
just comes in to browse,
we feel like we've made
a sale."
However, Bowman
doesn't believe his shop
has a monopoly In the
area because people are
always shopping for
better prices and a
better store. Yet he be­lieves
he can draw more
people since he offers a
unique variety of ani­mals.
"We have customers
from New Orleans and
shoppers from Atlanta,"
he said. "We've sold
birds to people from
Tennessee, and I think
we sell more large birds
through the pet store
than any other store in
the Southeast."
Bowman started
bringing home animals
as long ago as he can
remember, but didn't
own a dog until he was
a senior in highs. "I've
been known to bring
home a ground hog
when I would go
fishing," confessed soft-spoken
Bowman, who
only raises his voice
when commanding his
dog, Sally.

Another dog that often
scampers close to Bow­man's
feet is a small
furry puppy that Bow­man
picked up on the
highway. »
While a student, Bow­man
was a resident
manager at some apart­ments
in Auburn. He
kept his apartment, used
as a model for pro­spective
tenants, well
stocked with fish and
snakes.
"I had a green tree
frog on the loose in the
apartment for an ex­terminator.
He kept
bugs down 365 days a
year while an extermi­nator
only keeps them
away for about two
weeks before they're
back again.
"I decided In January,
1974 to open my pet
store in March because
I was upset with school
and with Auburn," he
said. Bowman said he
lacked 22 hours of grad­uating
with a degree in
marine biology.
Bowman's knowledge
of pet stores ranges
from breeding guppies
to helping a friend open
a retail pet shop. So he
decided to put his "flat
experience, not book
learning" to work.
"I always thought I
wanted to have my own
business by the time I
was 21," he said.
In just over three
years, Bowman's shop
has grown, not only in
size, but in popularity
too. The store sells all
types of birds, fish and
reptiles, and it even
offers medications and
pet food.
"We want to have all
efforts in a single store
with something more
unique instead of four
mediocre stores.
Bowman seems con­tent
with his business,
although he pointed out
several of its draw­backs.
"Every Thursday
morning I get up at 3
o'clock to go buy fLm in
Atlanta to bring back to
sell by 10 o'clock," he
said. Phone calls con­cerning
sick pets aren't
a nuisance, Bowman
said, unless they are
late at night to his
home.
"I had quite a few
calls until I got an
unlisted number," he
said. "I've had a lot of
calls from fraternity
guys who had poured
booze in the fishtank
and wanted to know
what to do and some
from parents calling for
leeeeeeeeeeo
advice on what to buy
their kids for gifts."
Most students buy
fish, according to Bow­man,
but the trend la
moving towards birds.
"A pair of birds got
me started in the zoo
business, too. I was In­vited
to a veterinary
shortcourse where I
traded two parrots for
$6,600 in cash and a
$3,000 male leopard. I
bought the birds back
when I returned to the
store after a year and a
half leave."
Bowman and his wife,
Anita, moved to the 50-
acre farm on the out­skirts
of Auburn more
than a year ago. "When
we moved, I got rid of a
lot of big cats so I could
breed and sell more lu­crative
animals."
Both the shop and the
zoo have a good repu­tation
with all zoos, sc
Bowman can trade with
zoos in large cities anc
receive high quality ani­mals.
Some zoos try tc
get rid of or give away
animals if they can find
a loophone in federal
laws that restrict zoos
from freely trading.
Most animals given to
Bowman are on the en­dangered
species list.

AU Trustees, students
to meet, discuss issues
A-7 Thursday, October so, 1977 The Auburn Plainsman
By Lonnie Adamson
Plainsman Staff Writer
Jan. 28 at 10 a.m. is
the date set for the
i annual Trustee-student
body question and
answer session.
The first such meeting
was held in 1974, and
trustees present at that
meeting called it "very
beneficial." Discussion
centered on sexual dis­crimination,
particular­ly,
the inequalities in
visitation rights between
male and female dorms.
Other topics discussed
were Health Center qual­ity
and rising enrollment.
More recent meetings
have disappointed most
of the trustees who at­tended.
Last year's meet­ing
saw only about 60
students and four trust­ees.
Trustee and former
Head Football Coach
Ralph "Shug" Jordan
said he was "disappoint­ed"
by last year's meet­ing
and hopes this year's
will draw a crowd large
enough to fill Jordan-
Hare Stadium.
Discussion at the last
meeting covered a bill in
the state legislature con­cerning
a Board of Re­gents,
the lack of aca­demic
scholarships and
a proposal to have a
voting student member
of the board. There were
also questions concern­ing
sexual discrimina­tion.
Of particular con­cern
were women's ath­letics,
which have been
aided by Title IX , and
the difference in quality
of men and women's
dorms.
SGA President John
Bush said the Board of
Trustees is the decision
making body for the
University. These meet­ings
provide a way for
students to express their
problems and com­plaints.
Bush said, "If we don't
take advantage of this,
we're crazy."
Students need to re­member
that not every­thing
about Auburn is
bad, said Chairman of
the Board of Trustees
R.C. Bamberg. These
meetings are dominated
by the negative aspects
at Auburn and little is
said about the good
things.

Next Wednesday, you
might notice red-and-white-

reasons.
On Wednesday, Oct.

Dr. Harry Philpott,
Auburn University presi­dent,
will be featured on
WEGL's "Community
Forum" broadcast, Mon­day,
Oct. 24 at 7 p.m. in a
live interview and ques-tion-
and-answer period.
WEGL station mana­ger,
Dan Griffin, said he
would interview Philpott
during the first half of
the program and would
accept telephone calls
from listeners during the
second half of the
program.
"This is the first time
in more than four years
that Philpott has been on
the air for WEGL other
than taped comments,"
said Griffin. "Students
will have the opportunity
to call and ask Dr.
Philpott questions, and
we hope all students will
take part in the pro­gram."
Griffin said he had
requested Philpott to be
a guest on Monday's
program during the sum­mer
but did not discuss
the topics which would be
touched on.

The trial of Robert
Andrew Jacks, a 1977
Auburn graduate ac­cused
of killing Auburn
dentist Farris Walker,
began Tuesday.
Jacks is charged with
first degree murder and
burglary. He is out of
jail on $100,000 bond.
The case is being tried
in circuit court under
Judge James T. Gul-lage.
Attorneys for the
defense are J.L. Wilkin­son
and Charles M.
Purvis of Birmingham
whie the prosecution is
being presented by Dis­trict
Attorney Ron
Myers and his assistant
Bobby Harper.
Gary Cash, 4ADS, key
prosecution witness, tes­tified
Tuesday and Wed­nesday.
He said he was
with Jacks at the time
of Walker's death and
saw Jacks shoot Walker
with a 22-caliber pistol
equipped with a home­made
silencer.
According to Cash, he
had been with Jacks
several times prior to
the night of the shooting
when they had followed
Walker's car. He said
the night of the shooting,
he entered Walker's
house with Jacks and
stood at the bedroom
door as Jacks fired a
shot at Walker.
Cash said the shot did
not kill Walker immedi­ately,
but that Jacks
strangled him to death.
He said they then took
Walker's body, some of
his belongings and his
car to Phenix City, Ala.
The belongings were
taken to make it appear
that Walker had taken a
trip, according to Cash.

Auburn University is
paying $1,000 monthly
rent on a computer
batch system which
doesn't work.
The computer was
delivered in June, com­puter
center Director
Ben B. Barnes said, and
has sat idle since be­cause
the division of
Physical Plant (PPD)
(formerly B and G)
hasn't made necessary
connections.
Barnes said Physical
Plant needs to install a
system to connect the
computer with the main
station in Parker Hall.
"Not only has this
system cost the Univer­sity
much, much
money," Barnes said,
"but it has caused much
controversy between the
University administra­tors
and the people at
Physical Plant.
"The administration
was never notified of
how long the order
would take," he said.
"There was no choice
but to wait on the order
and keep paying rent on
the system."
Physical Plant Direc­tor
Paul A. Kearny said
he didn't know much
about the situation. "I'm
new here and I'm just
getting-oriented into the
problems of the Univer­sity."
According to PPD, the
system, located in Tich-enor
Hall, should be
working this week.
OnlyTampax tampons have
an applicator that is flushable
and biodegradable
Plastic applicators ait not made
to be flushed away.They are not
biodegradable and contribute to
' pollution of the environment.
TheTampax tampon paper appli­cator
comes apart in water and can
be flushed away. It is biodegradable
^-.J -—•———*»'••» sound.
rr N*
The applicator on the left is plastic and its
manufacturer clearly warns "do not flush.
You can throw it into a waste receptacle, but no
matter how you dispose of a plastic applicator,
it remains hard, non-biodegradable material
indefinitely.That is why plastic applicators
pollute our land, rivers, lakes and beaches.
TheTampax tampon container-applicator
-like the tampon itself-is completely disposable
and biodegradable. It is made of spirally wound
strips of paper that quickly begin to delaminate
and unwind when they come in contact with
water. (See the illustration above at the right.)
The paper strips are as easy to dispose of as a
few sheets of bathroom or facial tissue.
Whats more, the hygienic Tampax
tampon applicator is designed to make insertion
easy and comfortable. Slim,smooth and pre-lubricated,
it guides the tampon into the proper
position to give you reliable protection. Your
fingers never have to touch the tampon. In use,
theTampax tampon expands gendy in all three
directions-length.breadth and width-so
there is little chance of leakage or bypass.
Tampax tampons offer you hygienic
menstrual protection without the worry of
environmental pollution.This is one of
the reasons why they are the *1 choice of more
women than all other tampons combined.

Student Senate wants ped mall as permanent fixture
feSI A J
PEDESTRIAN MALL \TMACHAVE.
r . , r ,.,, .,.,., • F | «4—
By Julie Spafford
Plainsman Staff Writer
The Student Senate
Traffic and Parking
Committee intends to
• reinstate the Pedestrian
Mall permanentlly, said
Jeff Stone, chairman of
the committee. The Mall
will probably block off
traffic between 7 a.m.
and 4 p.m. on weekdays
from Thach Avenue, im­mediately
past the Social
Center driveway, to Dun­can
Drive and Tiger
Street to the parking lot
entrance behind Thach
Hall.
Stone said the Ped Mall
may be instituted winter
quarter but almost def­initely
before the '77-'78
year is over.
Harland, Bartholomew
and Associates, a con­sulting
engineering firm,
made a long-range de­velopment
study of the
campus last spring.
Stone said his committee
would like to wait until
this firm makes its
recommendations before
initiating the Ped Mall,
because the committee
does not want to "jump
in and do something not
recommended by the
firm."
But, Stone added, "We
feel we need to go ahead
and get something
done." So the Student
Senate Traffic and Park­ing
Committee is going to
begin working on plans
for a permanent Ped
Mall in the hope that the
consulting firm ap­proves.
Harland, Bartholomew
and Associates' six
month study should be
completed by now, but
Stone said he was told by
Dr. William Transue of
the University Traffic
and Parking Committee
it might possibly be
several months before
the firm turns over its
recommendations.
Stone said Roosevelt
Drive, in front of Parker
Hall, will not be closed
by the Ped Mall because
the traffic flow was
disrupted considerably
when it was blocked off
during trial runs. In the
other areas, however,
Stone said traffic flow
was not considerably
altered.
According to Stone, his
committee will have to
deal with several prob­lems
such as figuring out
a way to allow emergen­cy
vehicles through the
blocked streets and find­ing
good barriers since
the Mall will be perma­nent.
The Ped Mall has been
in effect three times in
the past. These
trial runs allowed numer­ous
groups to do studies.

Committee considers lecture requests
Working with a $10,000
Student Activities Fee
allocation, the Univer­sity
Lectures Committee
met last week to consid­er
requests from more
than a dozen groups.
The committee voted
to approve a $400 re­quest
by the History
Department to supple­ment
a Draughon Lec­tures
Endowment grant
for the appearance of
Frank Vandiver.
Vandiver is executive
vice president and pro­vost
of Rice University.
He will talk Nov. 17 and
18 on the subjects of
"Jefferson Davis as War
Leader" and "Jefferson
Davis as Modern Presi­dent."
The Committee re­duced
a Horticulture
Forum request from
$250 to $130 to support
Yuji Yoshimura, an in­ternationally
known bon­sai
tree expert.
The Art Department
was given $500 for noted
American artist Robert
Motherwell.
The English Hour, a
mini-symposium spon­sored
by the English
Department, received
$600 to fund a literature
symposium on southern
women writers.
Mortar Board was
granted a conditional al­location
of $1,000, if the
honorary can obtain one
of five proposed women
speakers. The com­mittee
agreed to grant
the funds if Barbara
Jordan, Bella Abzug,
Rosalyn Carter, Patricia
Roberts Harris or Gail
Sheehy is secured as
speaker.

Alabama Student Association
meets for lobbying orientation

32nd anniversary. Eva Maddox, center, and

By Ann Hecht
Plainsman Staff Writer
The Alabama Student
Association met in Tus­caloosa
recently for an
orientation meeting.
The main topic of
business, according to
Al Scott, director of the
Student Lobby here, was
expansion of the organi­zation.
The ASA hopes to
include the Universities
of North and South Ala­bama
in its membership.
The ASA is a statewide
student lobby composed
of five SGA members
from the University of
Alabama and five SGA
members from Auburn:
Gene Oswalt, John Bush,
Al Scott, Gary Sanders
and Andy Bolt.
The original idea of a
student lobby started
with Oswalt last year.
The members of ASA
hope to play an instru­mental
part in any forth­coming
state legislation
which would affect the
students of this state.
On a local level, the
Auburn members of the
ASA hope to lobby for
legislation which would
affect the students at
Auburn. Number one on
the list, according to
Scott, is getting an Au­burn
student on the
Auburn City Council.
Presently, Dan Haygood
is representing the Au­burn
students as a liaison
member. He keeps the
SGA up to date on its
activities.
Top on the list of things
the SGA wants to do
through the ASA is to
strengthen the Sunshine
Law. The Sunshine Law
forbids closed meetings.
Under this law, the
Auburn Board of Trust­ees
is not allowed to hold
Executive Meeting-meetings
in which only
voting members are al­lowed
to attend. Bush, a
non-voting member of
the Board, is excluded
from these illegal meet­ings.
Bush hopes, with the
influence of the ASA, to
become a voting member
of the Board of Trustees.
In order to become an
official member of the
Board, the state legisla­ture
must pass a bill. The
University of Alabama
plans to lobby with Au­burn
through the ASA for
passage of this bill.
Bicyclists to get citations for violations
Campus Security offi­cers
will begin today
writing warning tickets
and citations for bicy­clists
who are in violation
of State traffic laws, City
of Auburn ordinances
and Auburn University
Parking and Traffic reg­ulations,
according to
Campus Security Chief
M.E. Dawson.
Dawson said officers
will be issuing the warn­ings
and citations follow­ing
a recommendation of
the University Traffic
and Parking Committee.
The Committee ex­pressed
concern in an
Oct. 17 meeting that
cyclists who "do not obey
the rules of the road for
motor vehicles are en-

The Chi Phi fraternity is looking for

located on Magnolia Ave., is being sold
because of the high price the owner is
requesting and the expense of the
improvements the house needs. "Right
now we have a fraternity headquarters
at 109 Toomer Street, behind our old
house," said Steve Anderson, Chi Phi
president. "We're looking for a house
to move into by next fall quarter."
Anderson made clear that the frater­nity
had not folded. "We just don't
have a house right now."
Track kept for athletes
By Buster Lehman
Plainsman Staff Writer
If you're thinking
about an afternoon jog
at Wilbur Hutsell Track,
forget it. According to
Athletic Director Lee
Hayley, the University
track facilities are not
open to student use
other than varsity ath­letes
and PE classes
and, to his knowledge,
never have been.
Unlike the track at the
University of Tennessee,
where according to U T
Athletic Director Bob
Woodruff, "students and
the public are free to
use the facility at all
times as long as varsity
practice is not being
held," the Auburn track
is virtually closed.
Hayley compared the
track to the varsity ten­nis
courts and baseball
field saying that athletic
department money, not
student activity fees,
pays for the mainte­nance
of these facilities.
Auburn Track Coach
Mel Rosen, who kept the
track open to students
for seven years, said
that this year the gate is
locked because the ath­letic
department mainte­nance
men refuse to
work on the facility
when students are using
it.
Rosen said that as far
as he is concerned,
students are welcome to
come jog at the track
between 5 and 6 p.m. as
long as they do not
interfere
practice.
with track
"The search will take
place everywhere,"
Philpott said.
If the replacement
selected is chosen from
outside Auburn Univer­sity,
he may have to
appoint an interim dean
so the prospective dean
of student affairs can
complete the school year
already in session.
Philpott dirt not know
who the interim choice
would be.
He also said a com­mittee
to select candi­dates
to the post will be
chosen "sometime in the
near future."
Committee members
are chosen by the fac­ulty
members, and Phil­pott
guaranteed a stu­dent
will be on the
selection committee.
According to Philpott,
if Foy has any recom­mendations
for a suc­cessor,
he feels "sure
the committee will listen
to Foy."
Foy said he would
have nothing to say
about his replacement
"unless Philpott asks,"
noting that the final se­lection
rests with Phil­pott.
"I would make a re­commendation
If he
asked me," Foy said.
Foy declined to re­commend
a successor,
saying that disclosing
such information "could
work to the harm of the
person."
"I don't think I could
promote anybody," Foy
said.
But Foy did promote
his idea of a replace­ment,
saying he should
be "completely honest,
love Auburn, have some
personality and a lot of
energy," with the em­phasis
on the last cre­dential.
Sitting in his Mary
Martin office surrounded
by visible signs of his
love for Auburn, his
eagle and tiger col­lection,
he noted that his
job is "easier than
ever" because Philpott
reorganized the office in
July 1976, taking the
student development
service, men's housing
and off-campus housing
from his jurisdiction.
Being with students is
the favorite part of
Foy's job.
Claiming that Auburn
students are "genuine,"
Foy said "it's that
quality that makes you
want to be a part of it."
"Auburn is a way of
life," he said, basing
that on being a part of
Auburn for the past 28
years, and becoming as
much a part of the
Auburn tradition as the
Alma Mater, Maryland
Turkey and Sani Flush.
Foy came to Auburn
from the "other school,"
the University of Ala­bama,
where he was
assistant dean of men
and assistant dean of
students.
What impressed Foy
most about Auburn were
the people, who made
him feel as if he "had
found a home/"
Foy, equipped tc
spend hours praising
everyone about two dec­ades
of Auburn Univer­sity,
said that Aubur
has progressed greatly
over the years and pre­sently,
the biggest
threat to Auburn is the
size.
"The sheer threat is
the numbers," he said.

Memories
Four-year walk-on Lucky Cope wishes they were better
By John Carvalho
Editor
Four years ago, 99 freshmen
came to Auburn without football
scholarships, but tried out for the
team anyway.
Four of these, defensive backs
Mike McCloud and Alan Hardin,
tight end Dick Hayley and offen­sive
lineman Troy Wagnon, were
later given scholarships. Ninety-four
others saw a futility in the
strenuous workouts, and gave up.
That leaves one: James
"Lucky" Cope, a defensive line­man
who is still out there trying
without a scholarship after four
years.
However, he hasn't always done
it alone. It was just recently that
Wagnon was awarded a scholar­ship,
and for the better part of
three years he and Cope com­prised
the lone survivors of the
Class of '74.
"Me and Lucky have always
been close friends," said Wagnon.
"Every year we'd say, "This is the
last year,' but when winter
workouts or spring practice would
come around, we'd be there."
Anyone who has seen an Auburn
football workout would have to
wonder what keeps players like
Cope out there. "There's always
the hope I might play in a game,"
he said, although he shrugged and
added, "Right now it doesn't look
very good."
After what Wagnon called a
"great" game for Cope against the
Florida junior varsity, he hoped he
could dress out for Saturday's
game against North Carolina
State, but his long-awaited chance
did not come through.
Contrast that with three years
ago, when Cope was a freshman,
then-head football Coach Ralph
"Shug" Jordan told Cope to keep it
up, because he had a good chance
of earning a scholarship.
"Then I hurt my knee and was
out for the rest of the year," Cope
said. "I'd like to think someone
else got a scholarship I might have
gottep, but I'm not sure."
He has gotten scholarship offers
from other schools, including Troy
State and Livingston Universities,
but has remained at Auburn. "My
father used to go to school here,
and I was born in Lee County
Hospital," he said. "So I'm kind of
Auburn-oriented.''
Cope pointed out that after going
out for football this year, his
fourth, he will letter. "That's
important to me. I could have gone
to a smaller school, but I decided I
wouldn't be happy with it."
Cope's daily routine, typical for
all junior varsity players, includes
arriving at the trainer's room at 2
p.m. to get taped up, reporting to
practice at 3 p.m. for two hours
and then staying an extra 30
minutes for junior varsity prac­tice.
"It takes up a lot of time," said
Cope in an understatement. "It
hurts if you want to get extra help
from a teacher. If you're having
trouble in class, you have to cuf
another class to get help."
One consequence of four years of
afternoon workouts for Cope has
been the abandoning of engineer­ing
as a career in favor of
business. "I couldn't take the
afternoon labs for engineering,"
he said.
Officially, he is listed in the
depth charts as a third-string
defensive tackle, though an injury
to freshman Larry Cannon has
meant increased work at nose
guard.
However, even close buddy
Wagnon admits things don't look
good for the third-stringer. "He's a
good as a lot of players," Wagnon
said. "I just had the advantage of
being a little bit bigger than him."
Cope sees this year as his last
chance. "I may call it quits this
year," he said. "Four years is long
enough. But I love football. Tou
have to stay out there that long."
He insists the four years and
countless hundreds of hours have
been well-spent. "I have no
regrets. You meet people and
make a lot of friends."
. Cope paused and reflected a
moment. He had memories, but he
wished he had better memories.

CHASING THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM
.Lucky Cope works out with varsity, hoping to dress out
Seminoles try for first win against War Eagles
By Chuck Anschutz
Assistant Sports Editor
The odds aren't with Auburn,
but the War Eagles are going to
Florida State this weekend hoping
to win their fourth game of the
season.
Florida State (4-1) seems to
have most of the advantages in
this football game. They'll be on
their own field and under their
own lights. Auburn has not
played at night this year.
The Seminoles were idle last
weekend, which gives them an
extra week to prepare for Aub­urn.
Every football team usually
has a lot of nagging injuries this
time of year, so FSU's extra time
should allow some of those to
heal.
"We haven't been able to find
any easy games this year and
this week is no exception," said
Auburn Head Coach Doug Bar-field
about the contest. "Florida
State has one of the best teams
they've had in years."
According to Barfield, State
had a good team last year and
has greatly improved.
"They've developed a good de­fense
this year," Barfield said.
"They have eight starters return­ing
on defense and the experience
has really helped them Improve."
But when talking about Florida
State, the one part of its game
you talk about more is its excel­lent
passing attack.
"FSU has a varied attack, but
they do rely a lot on the passing
game," said Barfield. "They use
two quarterbacks until they find
the one with the hot hand. Their
receivers are outstanding, but
they also like to throw to their
running backs."
The quarterbacks are Jimmy
Jordan and Wally Woodham.
Jordan has been the Seminole's
first stringer, but in the last two
games Woodham has been the
quarterback and doing a tremen­dous
job. He has been complet­ing
more than 60 percent of his
Close doesn't count Photography: Ford Rlsley
Charles Wood (48), Clifford Toney (29) and Bill
Grisham (37) did their best to block this Georgia
Tech punt, but, as is indicated in the top right corner
of the photo, their efforts weren't good enough. Nor
was Auburn's effort as the Tigers lost to Georgia
Tech, 38-21. (See story, page B-2) The War Eagles
will try to turn things around this Saturday in
Tallahassee, when they take on the Florida State
Seminoles. FSU is favored in the game by four to six
points.
Going against a good passing
offense is a change from Aub­urn's
last opponent, Georgia
Tech. Tech threw only five
passes the entire game, while
Barfield expects about 35 or 40
from the Seminoles.
Florida State does have one of
the best passing games in the
country, but Auburn has the
Southeastern Conference lead in
defending passes. The Tigers
have so far allowed only 69.8
yards per game in passes. Of
course, exactly what that indi­cates
is not clear.
"That's kind of a deceiving
statistic," said Barfield. "When
a team doesn't have to throw, as
in our last two games, they
won't. Of course, I think our
secondary is doing a good job.
But having a good secondary isn't
all there is to having a good pass
defense. It's a team effort."
Florida State Head Coach
Bobby Bowden probably won't
alter his attack much this Satur­day.
He knows this is the best
shot Florida State has had to beat
Auburn in several years.'
"Of course, we were in a
similar situation last year," said
Bowden. "Auburn played us
after losing to Georgia Tech and
they were desperate for a win.
"This year they were beaten
worse and will probably be very
hungry."
Bowden is hoping the results
won't be the same as last year,
when the War Eagles won a
topsy-turvy contest, 31-19, after
the lead changed hands several
times.
"When a team gets beat like
that (Ga. Tech), the coaches
always practice and work a little
harder to cut the mistakes,"
Bowden said.
"Auburn made enough mis­takes
against Georgia Tech to
last the rest of the season,"
Bowden said. "And all three
losses have come out of the SEC.
I'm sure they can't really afford
a fourth non-conference loss.
"Auburn has a lot of pride. I
think they'll be ready."
Besides the quarterbacks, a key
man in the Seminole offense the
Tigers must prepare for is run­ning
back Larry Key. Key had
the Florida State career rushing
record locked up before the sea­son
started, and he has been
impressively adding to that total
so far this season.
"One thing that concerns me
about Key," Barfield said, "is his
effectiveness on screen passes as
well as his running. He's a good
compliment for the passing
game."
Auburn goes into the game
undefeated in the series. The
Tigers have won nine games and
have tied one, but if the odds-makers
are correct, this weekend
could blemish Auburn's record.
"I wouldn't be telling the truth
if I said we had great mo
