The Student Government Association started fresh
Monday night when President Harry M. Philpott
swore in new officers. Newly elected SGA President
Jeff Stone, 4CE, takes the oath of office prior to
making closing remarks at the Monday night cere­mony.
Stone, who began interviewing this week for
new cabinet positions, said he is looking forward to a
new beginning for the SGA.

As the temperature and the issue
got hotter and hotter, the Auburn
administration decided to turn on
the air conditioning on campus this
week.
In a memorandum sent to deans,
directors and department heads,
Dr. Ben Lanham, administrative
vice president, said, "The Physical
Plant Division has been authorized
to place in operation all appropri­ate
on-campus air conditioning
systems and units effective at 12
noon, Monday."
Lanham said, "It will probably
take from two to three days to get
air conditioning units all over
campus started and tuned up."
Lanham gave several reasons
for the decision. The Public Service
Commission lifted the emergency
energy plan during the height of
the national coal strike and re­quested
a 20 percent energy con­servation
by all businesses and
institutions.
According to Lanham, "Tem­peratures

Planning Commission rejects
petition to change zoning laws
By Barry Webne
Plainsman Staff Writer
The Auburn City Planning Com­mission
rejected a petition last
Thursday which would give Au­burn
students the right to live in all
zones of the city.
Bob Burton, director of off-campus
housing, petitioned for an
amendment to city ordinance 501.3.
This ordinance prohibits students
from living in certain zones be­cause
they are not related by blood,
marriage or adoption to home­owners.
"More housing is needed for the
Auburn campus, and this ordi­nance
if passed, will help ease this
problem," said Burton.
"The planning committee re­jected
the petition fast. People here
don't realize that it is the students
of Auburn that keep the town
alive," he said.
The commission rejected the
proposal 7-0, with two members not
present. Commission member
Cleveland Adams said he felt the
University would not approve of
such a move because, "they don't
have the facilities to let in more
students."
President Harry M. Philpott said
admissions are not controlled by
t!ie availability of housing. "When
Inside Today
we run out of housing, it's up to the
students to find a place to live.
"We would be completely neutral
on any city zoning ordinance,"
Philpott said, since admissions
would not be affected.
Statistics show that there are
more than 18,000 students on the
Auburn campus, and about 3,500 of
them live in University housing.
The remainder are forced to find
housing off-campus.
Realtors in the Auburn area have
no worry about filling their units
because there is such a great
demand, Burton said. Students are
faced with the problem of un­healthy
housing, because landlords
fail to keep the property in good
shape, he said.
"The new amendment," Burton
said, "will create new housing for
students. This new housing will
make the market more competi­tive
and landlords will start to
worrying about the conditions of
their units."
Auburn is unique among the
college towns in Alabama because
of city ordinances prohibit students
from occupying housing off
campus.
Burton said, "The next step is to
take a survey of all members of
the community, and then present
the petition to the committee
again."
Burton said he has no idea when
the survey would begin. The survey
would show the percentage of
people in the community who
would like a change.
If it shows a large percentage,
then this will justify change,
Burton said.
"I wasn't that surprised that
they turned down the petition, but
they did it so quickly. They barely
had enough time to look at it and
they shot it, down. That really made
me mad."«"-»-:;-*
Burton asked Henry Henderson,
legal advisor to the University, to
research the constitutionality of
the present zoning restrictions.
"The law Auburn now has is
constitutional and has been upheld
in the Supreme Court," Henderson
said. "Auburn's law is almost
identical to a law in a town in
upstate New York that was upheld
in Village of Belle Terre vs.
Baraas."
Burton said, however, he hopes
the commission will approve the
petition later so "maybe we can
help student-community relation­ships."
Auburn City Council President
Bill Allen said he would support the
change if it is brought before the
Council. "I would be favorably
inclined to such a move."

Council hunts liaison
By Travis Cork
Plainsman Staff Writer
At the Auburn City Council
meeting Tuesday night, Council­man
Lir.dburgh Jackson reported
that the progress of the ad hoc
committee to change the date of
city elections has been stalled by
the absence of the S.G.A. liaison to
the City Council.
Jackson made the statement
after Councilman Frances W. Hale
asked for the status of the com­mittee
during committee reports to
the council.
Jackson, chairman of the com­mittee,
said that the student liaison
was to work with the committee
but they did not know who the
successor of former liaison Daniel
Hay good was.
Council President William H.
Allen then asked if there was a

Committee makes
new appointments
By Dick Parker
News Editor
Committee appointments for the
newly elected Student Senate will
be announced tonight when the
senate meets at 7.
The Senate Rules Committee,
which makes all committee ap­pointments,
will meet today at 3
p.m. to make its final decisions.
Speculation has been raised
since the elections last Thursday as
to whom will be named chairman
of the Budget and Finance Com­mittee.
Names mentioned as pos­sibilities
for the Budget and Fi­nance
chairmanship include Kelly
Cooper, 3PRJ, and Jeff Meadows,
3PB, both veteran senators.
Buddy Barfield, 3ACF, SGA vice
president and Senate president,
.said he has some definite names in
mind for the Budget and Finance
chairmanship, and said he would
make his recommendations to the
Rules Committee today.
During his campaign for vice
president, Barfield said he would
like to bring some new faces and
some new ideas into the SGA, so he
may recommend a newly elected
senator for the Budget and Finance
post.
The Budget and Finance Com­mittee
recommends distribution of
all Student Activities Fees to the
various campus projects.
Many other appointments will
also be named today as the senate
prepares to begin the new year.
student in the audience who could
tell the council whether there was a
liaison at the time and if so, the
liasion's name.
Councilman Denson Lipscomb
said that the post is probably
vacant since the new S.G.A. admin-istratin
was only recently installed.
Allen Little, 3ME, was appointed
to the post last quarter by former
S.G.A. President John Bush and
the appointment was confirmed by
the Student Senate.
Little said although S.G.A. Presi­dent
Jeff Stone has yet to appoint a
liason for the current term, he is
still serving in that capacity.
Little said he attended a council
meeting about a month before the
close of winter quarter and intro­duced
himself to the council at that
time. He also informed the council
of his address and phone number.
SGA President Jeff Stone said he
will name this year's City Council
liaison within the next two days but
did not say who the appointee
might be.
In other action at the meeting,
the council approved a non-restricted
private club liquor
license for the War Eagle Supper
Club, permitting the club to serve
liquor and beer on Sunday, effec­tive
May 1.
Only private clubs are eligible
for such a license.

steady. Also, we have a long range
weather forecast that indicates
that the temperatures would con­tinue
to remain high."
In the memorandum, Lanham
added that "all employees of the
University, and all students, are
requested to cooperate with the
University in regulating and con­trolling
air conditioning tempera­tures
throughout the summer air
conditioning period at levels no
lower than 75 degrees.
"We'd like to continue conserv­ing
energy," Lanham said.

MESSAGE SAYS MORO "EXECUTED"-Ital­ian
officials received a message this week saying
that former Premier Aldo Moro had been
"executed" and his body dumped into a lake
northeast of Rome. Moro, a member of the
Christian Democrat party, was kidnapped by
terrorists on March 16. The message, believed to
have been sent by the Red Brigade terrorists,
also threatened the lives of other Italian
politicians. Police said they received reports
that two people were seen throwing a large
bundle into a quarry near the lake, and tire
tracks were discovered a t the site.

Ex-Cleveland mayor speaking here
By Julie Spafford
Assistant News Editor
Carl Stokes, the first
black mayor of a major
U.S. city, Cleveland, and
the first black democrat
elected to the Ohio
Legislature, will speak in
the Student Act Building
April 27 at 8 p.m.
Born in a Cleveland
ghetto and left fatherless
at the age of two, Stokes
and his brother supported
their mother by deliver­ing
newspapers and
clerking in neighborhood
stores. A high school
drop-out at the age of 16,
he served in the Army
and eventually completed
his secondary education.
Stokes then went on to
work his way through
college and was admitted
to the Ohio Bar in 1957.
During the fifties,
Stokes worked as a liquor
inspector, was assistant
city law director and
served on the executive
committees of the Cleve­land
NAACP and county
Democratic organiza­tions.
In November 1962 he
was elected to the Ohio
House of Representatives
and was re-elected in 1964
and 1966.
Stokes ran for mayor in
1965 but lost to incumbent
democrat Ralph Locher
by only 1 percent of the
vote. Stokes, running as
an independent, received

97 percent of the black
vote.
Locher's term was
plagued with racial
crises, and Stokes was
able to defeat him and
another opponent in the
1967 primary with 52.7
percent of the vote.
Voter turnout in black
neighborhoods averaged
15 percent higher on
primary day than did
white precincts. This was
because the Cleveland
chapter of Congress of
Racial Equality
utilized part of a $175,000
Ford Foundation grant to
register blacks for the
primary.
Stokes defeated his re­publican
opponent in
November by a thin
margin.
At first Stokes' term
was filled with triumphs.
Through the spring of
1968, he was able to con­trol
racial problems
which troubled most
urban centers following
the assasination of
Martin Luther King Jr.
His "Cleveland:
NOW!" program, a
project planned to attack
city problems over a 10
year period at a cost of
$1.25 billion, received the
support of the city's bus­iness
community and
press establishments.
His popularity was
short-lived, however, as
racial violence broke out
in July, 1968. Seven men
were killed as a result of
a shooting initiated by
Fred Evans and his
"Black Nationalists of
New Libya."
Following the incident,
Stokes consulted with
black leaders in Cleve­land
and agreed to have
only black policemen fol­lowed,
but the City Coun­cil
and Fraternal Order
of Police objected to
Stokes' use of the black
police officers.
Things became even
worse when it was
discovered that Evans'
"Black Nationalists" had
received $10,000 in
"Cleveland: NOW!"
funds.
Stokes narrowly de­feated
a white repub
lican in the 1969 electlor
and refused to seek
third term in 1971. In 1972,
Stokes accepted a news-casting
job with WNBC in
New York City.
Stokes was scheduled
to speak last quarter,
according to the UPC. He
had to cancel the engage­ment
because he was
under contract with
WNBC, which needed
him in New York.
Corrections for
election violations
The article in last
week's Plainsman con­cerning
campaign viola­tions
was unclear due to
technical oversights. Two
paragraphs omitted
stated that four candi­dates
were found in viola­tion
of campaign laws:
Craig Dowdy, Mike Dish-man,
Buddy Barfield and
Bernie Kent. To clarify
last week's article,
Dowdy, a vice presiden­tial
candidate, was found
in violation of displaying
three posters per bulletin
board on four separate
boards in Ramsey Hall.
The violation was traced
to one of Dowdy's cam­paign
workers.
/
Also, Barfield's cam­paign
material was found
on telephone poles, rather
than Dowdy's, as it was
reported.
Also, in election re­sults,
Hal Pate defeated
Richard Duckwald for
Vet School senator, 93 to
69.
Another article con­cerning
election of cheer­leaders
should have said
that Lee Edwards was
chosen as women's co­ordinator.
The Plainsman regrets
these errors and is
pleased to set the record
straight.

The passing over of
Richie Haley, 3HPR, a I
black student, for first-team
cheerleader con­tinues
to cause contro­versy
on campus, but
members of the selection
committee say they made
an "unbiased" choice.
"He was turned down
because of his race," said
GerrilynV. Grant, 3LHY,
president of the Afro-
American Association,
"and I think it's pathetic.
"I thought Auburn was
past this type of thing. I
was shocked. Almost
everyone seemed to
agree that he was the best
cheerleader out there."
"I can't speak for any­one
else," said Stan Piet-kiewicz,
4PB, second-team
all-SEC guard on
Auburn's basketball
team and a member of
the cheerleader selection
panel, "but when I voted,
I didn't let color, frater­nity,
sorority or anything
else like that affect it.
"I don't think there was
any prejudice involved. I
feel like all 10 judges
tried to do the best job
possible. We tried to
judge the best we could
on the talent and the
interviews.
"There was nothing
political involved," said
Gaby Davis, chairman of
the spirit committee and
another of the judges.
"Seventy people tried
out, and it's obvious
everyone couldn't get it.
We knew there would be
some hurt feelings, but I
tried to do everything 100
percent by the rules."
Richie Haley, who has
been chosen as an alter­nate,
said that he was
"really caught in the
middle," but that he was
not "bitter.
"The system is set up to
be fair," he said. "As it is
down on paper, it will
work. But when you get
the human element in
there, with human emo­tions,
it may not work like
it is supposed to.
"The way it was this
time, if there was any
discrimination, it had to
be on an individual
basis."
Haley added that he
was planning to go out for

Bank offers personal integrity
By Rick Harmon
Managing Editor
Bert Bank, candidate
I for lieutenant governor,
in a speech Monday
I promised an audience of
1 Auburn students "integ-
|rity of character" and
'harmony with the
• governor," if elected.
"I believe the integrity
I and character of govern-ment
officials is the
number one priority of
the man on the street,"
said the District 30 sen­ator,
who addressed
about 200 students on the
Auburn Campus.
"I think I can do an
outstanding job," he said,
"and bring some in­tegrity
and a good image
back to a high govern­ment
office that I feel has
diminished quite a bit in
recent years."
Bank said that since he
had always "gotten along
with people" he would be
able to bring harmony
between the governor
and lietenant governor.
"The lieutenant gov­ernor
should have close
harmony with the gov­ernor's
office," he said.
"This does not necessari­ly
mean agreeing with
the governor, but being
able to talk over and
discuss the situation.
"If I am elected I will
have disagreements with
the governor, but we are
not going to let the tax­payers
of Alabama suffer
because of our lack of
unity or harmony.
"I think that when the
lieutenant governor and
the governor of Alabama
fight in the press, it hurts
the legislature's image
wore's than it is."
Banks explained how
he respected and would
be able to work with all
the candidates running
for governor. But said "If
Shorty Price is elected
governor, I don't know
what I'll do."
Vandalism is stili a problem on campus
By Markee Jacobs
Plainsman Staff Writer
Vandalism is increas-
J ing at Draughon Library,
but it is decreasing in
Haley Center because of
| increased security.
According to Foy
Thompson, building di­rector
of Haley Center,
! incidents have decreased
substantially since he in­stituted
a work study pro­gram
using students to
patrol the halls at night.
"We are also using
campus security night
watchmen," said Thomp­son.
"We've had pencil
sharpeners knocked off
the walls. We had so
many garbage cans taken
that we had to purchase
the ones that attach to the
walls," said Thompson.
Vandals took screw­drivers
and popped the
buttons from two of the
elevators.
"They removed 140
nameplates from the
office doors. We later
found them in the bushes.
They had been thrown
from the roof. It's so
annoying,"
said.
Thompson
"There have been in-numberable
incidents.
There is no way we can
even begin to estimate
the cost to the Auburn
students," he concluded.
It is a different situa­tion
at the library. Ac­cording
to Grady Geiger,
director of circulation,
the problem of vandalism
is growing steadily.
"Book thefts are in­creasing,
they have
knocked the glass out of
the front doors, and they
have broken the window
in the special collections
with either a BB gun or
small rocks," said
Geiger.

year if there was any way
possible.
Kenny Howard, assis­tant
athletic director who
served on the committee
in place of Coach Haley
who was out of town, said
that the interviews were
probably the major
factor in Haley's selec­tion.
"Probably Richie was
better than some of the
others in the physical
ability tryouts, but it boils
down to the interview for
the final decision.
"We thought there
might be repercussions to
our decision, but I feel it
was one of the most
thorough and unbiased
committees I've ever
served on."
Grant disagreed about
the fairness of the com­mittee
and said she disap­proved
of both the make­up
and the secrecy of the
committee.
"None of us know why
Richie didn't make it,"
she said. "All we know is
that it had something to
do with the interviews.
But nobody will tell us
exactly what he did that
hurt him. We would like
an investigation.
"I also think that it is
unfair that with all the
black athletes at Auburn,
there was not a single
black on the selection
committee."

Discrimination
...again
We believe the Auburn Planning
Commission insulted Auburn stu­dents
when it tejected a petition by
SGA Treasuter Bob Burton Calling
for a change in those zoning laws
which prohibit students from living in
certain parts of the city.
First, let's take a look at the zoning law itself. City Ordinance 501.3 states
that R-125, R-100, R-80 and R-2 zones cannot be inhabited by people
unrelated by blood, marriage or adoption...in other words, students.
Therefore, we immediately give up certain rights when we live here, such as the
right to live wherever we please.
' 'Where are these banned zones?" you may ask. The answer is simple: take
away the campus, apartment houses and agricultural fields...the area that
remains is mostly verboten for students. It's obvious that these forbidden zones
include some of the nicer neighborhoods in the area. But why should students
be denied the right to live in these areas? That's clearly discrimination.
However, more important and more disturbing is the attitude which such a
law represents. The implication of such laws is clear: students are considered an
undesirable element in the Auburn community.
This is clearly an insult. It represents an irrational generalization: that
Auburn students would exert an unhealthy influence on a neighborhood, and
should be kept out. Makes you feel great, doesn't it?
We would think such generalizations would have gone out with segregation,
but apparently we're wrong. The image of the students as loud and raucous still
exists. We give the typical Auburn student a little more credit than that.
Consider another implication of the law: a private citizen who has a big
house can't take in boarders to defray expenses. This aspect was the main thrust
of Burton's petition, and deserves more than passing notice. In essence, the
zoning code prohibits a home-owner from doing what he wants to in his private
residence.
Students must be accepted as a mature, viable and contributing part of
Auburn. We have asked for such a role, but have been denied it. We comprise
more than half of the city's population, but actions such as City Ordinance
501.3 are enough to make as seem unwelcome.
Area merchants want us to spend our money at their stores, but would be
horrified if we were allowed to live in the same neighborhood as they.
It's been said before, and it's true: the University is the main industry of
Auburn and without it, the Loveliest Village of the Plains would be nothing
more than the Loveliest Interstate Rest Stop of the Plains.
We feel the time has come for townspeople to accept us. A little reaching out
by both sides would help.
However, consider the terse reception Burton received when presenting his
petition. The Commission almost didn't listen to Burton as he delivered what
is a well-prepared petition.
This represents the attitude the City seems to have toward students ideas.
The voting date change, and now the zoning law controversy...all represent a
kind of mistrust on the part of the City of Auburn.
Students and townspeople should work together to make Auburn a better
town. We're ready. But attitudes such as those represented by City Ordinance
501.3 should be removed if any progress is going to be made. .
A new team
Another year, another SGA.
It's like baseball spring training in the SGA now. Everybody's a winner. The
slates are clean and every manager thinks his team will make it to the World
Series.
Last year's SGA manager didn't lead his team to the Series—they didn't
even make it to the playoffs.
But their batting average wasn't bad. The Haley Center library was opened,
the Traffic Appeals Board instituted and Ped Mall is inevitable, though not
here now.
Jeff Stone, next year's manager, is choosing his lineup for the upcoming
season. He needs your help if this year's SGA is to finish above .500. He needs
volunteers for cabinet positions and aides.
Each student is a member of the SGA, but has no right to complain about
the SGA unless he volunteers to help, through his vote and continued support.
After all, it's our team.

The 'outsider' who ran for SGA president
I admire David Hopper.
You remember David. He's the
guy who came out of the blue to run
For SGA president because it was his
way of doing something for Auburn
before he graduated.
After four years of enduring slick
f)oliticoes maneuvering and manipu-ating
and the inevitable "Gee, will
the president come out of the
executive cabinet or senate'' debates,
David's attitude stood out as dif­ferent.
During winter quarter, the word
from the Union Building third floor
was that two candidates had qualified
to run for SGA president: Engine­ering
Senator Jeff Stone and "some
Lambda Chi."
I, along with many other self-pro­claimed
political analysts, conceded
victory to Jeff, and immediately
began speculation on what his admin­istration
would be like.
But David's campaign, starting
from his first answer in his Plainsman
pre-election interview ("I started
looking around last fall and started to
think about running for president,")
showed that his was not to be the
normal, oh-look-what-I've-done-ain't-
I-experienced type of campaign.
Such an attitude at first seems
unimpressive. We've been brought
up to believe that SGA presidents ar
made not born, right?
I'm not so quick to accept such an
attitude, and noticing some of the
folks in the SGA office shrug when I
asked them what they thought of
Hopper's candidacy, as if to say
"What right does he have to run?"
only made me angry.
Any student on this campus has the
right to run for SGA presidnet. Prior
SGA experieiice^'is1'neither necessary
nor helpful ?n*mf bfiinioh. That one
of "us'' would run for president, and
maybe even win, was enough to make
this year's presidential race interest­ing.
Look at Buddy Barfield. He wasn't
an SGA senator last year, but the
students had enough faith in his
personal qualifications, sans SGA
experience, to choose him to preside
over the Senate. He shouldn't he
handicapped at all by this supposed
deficiency.
Hopper's candidacy reminded me
of campaigns four years ago, when
John Davis ran a campaign similar to
Hopper's; the outsider trying to get
in.
There were differences. Hopper
spent more money on his campaign.
In fact, his campaign was just as suck
as anyone else's. But he came across
well, according to those who heard
him (I live far off-campus, and am
spared from the annual speeches).
But Hopper established himself
quickly as a serious candidate, so
serious that the usual rumors were
floated to hurt his chances.
People spread the world that he was
kicked out of West Point (he actually
received an honorable discharge), that
his low grade-point average indicated
stupidity (in that case, a lot of us are
stupid) and that it was his first quarter
on campus (a rumor which doesn't
deserve a response).
But that's not why he lost. He lost
because Auburn is like France: it may
talk liberal, but it votes conservative.
Hopper's promise of new ideas
seemed attractive, but more voters,
probably hedged on casting their
ballots for him, and opted for the.
more traditional candidate.
And I should point out that I'm
not trying to slight Jeff Stone. He's as
good as anybody for the job, and he is
the student's choice, which is the
most important qualification.
But I'll break the code of secrecy
and say that I voted for David,
because his candidacy represented
something for me. It represented an
Auburn student saying "I think I can
do it better," and then going out
there to prove it. It represents Joe
Typical Student caring enough to run
for SGA president.
After he was defeated, Hopper was
asked for a quote include in the
elections story.
Quoting Adlai Stevenson, he said,,
' 'I'm too hurt to.laugh and too old to,
" v . " :..;.';
I knew how he felt, because I, too,
felt discouraged. I felt like the
Auburn students had lost...that they
would give up any hopes of breaking
into the SGA.
And I could neither laugh nor cry. ;

Athletic Department living in the past
championships,
facilities in the
Sitting in head football Coach
Doug Barfield's office beneath a
portrait of Shug Jordan and himself, I
wondered if minor sports mattered to
the "big shots" in our athletic
program.
Auburn is football, and football is
Auburn. I agree with this to some
extent. Auburn's swimming team,
which finished second at the NCAA
has one of the worst
Southeastern Confer­ence.
Barfield said if Auburn did not
maintain a football program, there
would be no minor sports. "If we
don't produce in football," he says,
"We won't have an athletic
program."
However, Auburn President Harry
Philpott said, "The case now is that
football is the largest supporter of
minor sports, but it is not the only
source on which the budget is based.
Auburn students pay a fee which
partially goes for athletics, some for
football. The rest may go to other
sports.''
Philpott said the budget for foot­ball
used to support the rest of the
athletic program, but since ticket sale
have gone down, student fees have to
carry some of the costs.
Barry
Webne
I wondered, does Barfield think it is
fair for Auburn to add more seats to
the football stadium, when it is hardly
full now, but at the same time have
swimmer spending $37.65 on their
own equipment?
' 'To attract big teams for football,''
Barfield said, "we need to maintain
and better our facilities. Auburn's
minor sports depend on the ticket
revenues of football to take care of
their budgets. In order to get people
to spend money and come sec Auburn
football games, we need to attract big
names in football.
' 'It seems fair to me that we have a
top-notch football program, and I
think we're fair in asking for improve­ments
on our present facilities.''
It seems that if the Athletic
Department cared for minor sports
such as swimming, it would develop a
more attractive program. But it is
completely the opposite case: the
department insists on closing its eyes
to minor sports.
Along with the many complaints
about the swimming facilities, many
Auburn outdoor track participants are
also complaining that they have some
of the worst facilities in the SEC. This
year, Auburn finished second in the
nation in indoor track.
Something must be done to im­prove
the situation at the Auburn
Athletic Department. The Board of
Trustees should keep their noses out
of its business, and let the department
take care of itself. The Athletic
Department should stop spending so
much on football and try to develop a
well-rounded program wnere every­one
will benefit.
Auburn Athletic Director Lee
Hay ley said, "I agree that football is
important to Auburn. We need the
revenues to float the budgets of some
minor sports.''
Therefore, you have Haylcy saying
that footbal is floating the budgets of
some minor sports, and Philpott
saying football is the main, but not
the only source on which the minor
sports budget is based. There is a
slight contradiction here which should
be resolved.
When asked if it would be possible
to charge admission to some of the
minor sporting events, to make these
sports more self-supporting, Hayley
said the Athletic Department has
considered it, but fans are more
important than the money. "If we
charged for minor events," said
Hayley, "we would not know what
price to charge, and fans would be
reluctant to pay the price.''
I agree with Hayley to some extent.
Students have to consider what they
arc paying to sec when they come to
swimming and track events. But even
if the Athletic Department charged a
nominal fee, it would still be making
some money, which is better than no
money at all.
If one takes a deeper look into the
Auburn Athletic Department, one
will see that it is almost a situation
where the blind are leading the blind
The Board of Trustees and the
Alumni put almost all of their
emphasis an the major sports, and fail
to see the need for any minor sports
teams. The staff in the Athletic
Department keeps it's eyes closed to
this current problem, and is living in
Auburn's past, where football was
king.

leader challenges statistics
:oncerning homosexuals
aditor, The Plainsman:
Is it not astonishing that every­where
one looks there is propaganda?
Take, for instance, a letter printed in
ic Plainsman concerning homosex­uals
and their lifestyles. Indeed, the
lomosexual-community rhetoric is
iestined to establish one's fears of
['the alternatelifc style" as unfound­ed;
that is, mythical.
I agree with the gay sympathizer in
|ast week's letter, who said there are
iearly2>000 students at Auburn who
ire' 'gay.'' They probably are in every
valk of life. However, one might find
hazardous to become more ac­cepting
of homosexuals and their
lifestyles, for the following reasons:
First, concerning the supposed
lild molestation myth, why does the
gay sympathizer use police reports to
ay that "less than 2 percent of
eported molestation is done by
lomosexuals" and yet doesn't say
which police report? Could these be
Dike reports from Alakanuk, Alaska
3t Kalamazoo, Mich? Indeed, I
question the validity of these police
Reports.
Lloyd Marin, head of the Los
Vngeles Police Department dealing
trith sexual exploitation of children,
jggests that children are being
jally abused, by homosexuals
aying, ' Seventy percent of the child
porn market now involves seduced
young boys and adult male homosex-aals."
Secondly, the renowned criminal
Judge M. Murtagh in his book "Cast
the First Stone" points out that 50
percent of all homicides and 50
percent of all sucides in big cities can
be attributed to homosexuality. Cer­tainly
a striking statistic, for only 10
percent of the population are homo­sexuals.
Lastly, the magazine VD states that
' 'half of all the cases of syphilis in this
country can be traced to homosex­uals."
VD continues to say that "the
rampantveneral disease among homo­sexuals
is due to their constant search
for new partners and their lack of
protection." Once again, this statistic
seems rather awesome for only 10
percent of the population.
Consequently, one'A fear of homo­sexuality
should be warranted, for as
New York psychiatrist Dr. Charles
Secarides warns, "if homosexuality is
further normalized and raised to a
level of complete social acceptability,
there will be a tremendous rise in the
incidence of homosexuality. This
would have dire effects for society for
homosexuality militates against the
family, drives the sexes in opposite
directions and neglects the child's
growth and sexual identity."
Indeed, homosexuality totally con­tradicts
one well-known fact: that
male and female are programmed to
mate with the opposite sex. This is the
story of two and a one-half billion
years of civilization, and any society
that hopes to survive must recognize
this.
'Auburn afraid
to have black
cheerleader'
Editor, The Plainsman:
It is the responsibility of the
Cheerleader Selection Committee to
select the most qualified undergrad­uate
student to fill the position of
cheerleader at Auburn University. We
were, therefore, of the impression
that the selection of cheerleaders
would be an objective process, where­by
a standardized evaluation form
would be used in judging the
candidates.
However, we contend that other
factors (subjective) went into the
judging of the candidate, Richie
Haley, factors such as untrue and
irrelevant rumors, the race of the
candidate and the prejudices and fears
of the committee members.
It is sad and disgraceful that
Auburn University is afraid to be
represented by one black cheerleader.
Also, it is more than unfair to a very
capable and qualified young man to
suffer the consequences of irrespons­ible
judgments on the part of the
committee members.

"To Kill a Mockingbird"
shown as the feature movie at
Langdon Hall last weekend. It was
appropriate that a movie dealing with
racial injustice was shown in Auburn
at the end of the week of cheerleading
tryouts at Auburn University.
Richie Halev, a black student trying
out for cheerleader, was the best of
the male contestants. All on the scene
agreed with this. They say it was very
obvious. But Richie wasn't' 'allowed''
be a cheerleader. He was only
picked as an alternate. The common
consensus was that the judges were
afraid the alumni would become
angry if they saw a black male
cheerleader doing cheers with white
females.. .and some people say equali­ty
has been achieved.
In "To Kill a Mockingbird,"
lawyer Atticus Finch made a profound
ana moving statement in his defense
of the falsely-accused black man.
Finch said that we are so worried that
black men will be around our women
that it leads to irrational fears.Hc went
on to: speak for equality and justice,
but to no avail. The racist white jury
still declared the black man guilty. It
is a shame Auburn has come no
further since the point in history
depicted in "To Kill a Mockingbird.''
I thought Auburn had gone be­yond
this primitive way of thinking.
I've seen this town grow over the years
into what I hoped was an atmosphere
of moderation and fairness. But now
we have received this cruel slap in the
face. Auburn has taken a big step

\Student loses money 'following University policy'
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am a senior in civil engineering

•hospitalized, thus missing the last
I weeks of classes including final exams.
|As is the University's policy, I made
[up my exams the first two weeks of

lad taken. Not knowing, at registra­tion
time, which classes 1 had passed,
II registered to make sure I would get
linto all the classes I might need to
graduate. During the next two weeks,
while clearing finals, I attended each
of my new classes once, and was told
what books to purchase. I then
bought (approximately) $40 worth
of "required" books as soon as
possible, because it is not unusual for
the bookstores to sell out of a
particular book. I took my last
make-up exam on April 7 and on
April 10 learned of my grades. April
10 was the first possible day I could
drop and add courses, as I had just
obtained by grades. My classes ar­ranged,
I returned my untouched
books, explaining to the manager it
was the "first possible chance" of
returning the books. The manager
said he could not take back the books
at their original price because the
"trade-in date" had passed, but
offered to take them at a reduced
price, if I wished. I then re-explained
the situation to the man.

Lance DeRusso, 4CE
DOONESBURY
Editor, The Plainsman:
It looks like it's once again time for
The Plainsman to "make" news
instead of "report" news. I speak with
reference to. Betsy. Butgcreit s column
of two weeks ago. Butgcreit has. for
quite some time, lowered the quality
ol your publication with articles which
are best described as "filler."
In her recent story, she strengthen­ed
her reputation. She took pride in
the fact that: l) she lied to the
librarian by falsely identifying her­self;
2) a justly deserved fine was not
paid. What she does not realize (or*
care about) is that the book and
unpaid fine will ultimately come from
the students' pocket.
But the real Issue here is, why is she
so proud of herself? If a faculty
member of administrative head had
committed the same evil, your paper
would have blasted him from cover to
cover. I guess The Plainsman staff is
safe from The Plainsman itself.
I am also alarmed that John
Carvalho would allow that kind of
trash to pass his desk. Does The
Plainsman support Butgereit's at­titude?
It was not that long ago when
another Plainsman staffer, Lauren
Steele, showed us his journalistic
abilities when he created havoc at a
closed session of the City Council. It
was another example of "making"
news instead of "reporting" news.
If people don't like the way a
system is run, or believe that they are;
being treated unjustly, they should
seek a solution lawfully and respect­ably.
Before The Plainsman slices up this
week's victim, I think they should
clean up their own yard.

fBuildings part of heritage, AU part of nation'
Editor, The Plainsman:
In the April 14 issue of The
Plainsman, letter writer Michael
| James Malone stated reasons for
favoring the preservation of Broun
Hall and other old buildings. In
opposing the demolition of Broun
Hall and Langdon Shop, Malone
made the following statement: ' 'Such
zeal for new construction is to be
applauded if the demolished
buildings arc 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."
It is my sincere hope that Malone,
armed with these truths, can fine
time to do a little missionary work
among his friends in education,
sociology, political science, econom­ics,
the arts and other fields.
Buildings are but a part of our
heritage. Auburn is but a part of our
nation.

This letter is in reference to this

'Reconsider energy conservation plan'
Editor, The Plainsman:
•
The following is a copy letter sent
to Auburn Vice President for Admin­istration
Dr. Ben T. Lanham:
Dear Sir,
I agree with you that energy needs
to be conserved, but I resent your
totalitarian view of such an important
and controversial issue. I respectively
request that you reconsider your
energy conservation play. You have
denied many people the right of
freedom of choice, the choice to
voluntarily conserve energy by turning
lights and air-conditioning off. You
have denied to the many on-campus
residents the air-conditioning tor
which they have already paid.
I demand that justice prevail. I ask
that you restore the air-conditioning
facilities to the dorms or give a just
refund to those people who are being
denied the service for which they have
paid. My fellow hallmates have
calculated that approximately $3 per
week be given to each resident of an
air-conditioned room as a just refund.
I hope that you will act quickly to
restore the air-conditioning facilities
to the residents or give to them a just
refund.

campaigners, property that has a lot
of time and money invested in it,

I feel sorry for those who have so
little confidence in themselves and
their campaigns that their cam-paginers
and the candidates them­selves
spend more time listing reasons
why their opponent should not win,
rather than listing reasons why they
should win.
At the time this letter was written,
the outcome of the races was not
known, so this letter is not because a
candidate did not win. But it is an
effort to make people think about fair
and honest campaigning.
What a wonderful feeling to say, "I
won, and I did it because I'm the best
and because I ran a good, honest
campaign." If you can say this, then
you truly deserved to win and you
honestly have Auburn's best interests
at heart.

GARDEN PLOTS SOLD
.. Students, faculty will have fresh produce soon
By Danielle Murphy
Plainsman Staff Writer
No one ever promised
you a bed of roses for
coming to Auburn, but if
you were one of the 380
people able to lease a
garden plot from the ser­vice
honorary fraternity
Alpha Zeta, you may very
well be sitting in your
own bed of roses.
Ten 25-by-30 feet plots,
located on Hiram Lane
Road, have all been
leased. A month and a
half was given for signing
up for a plot, and students
had priority over faculty
members during the first
two weeks of registration.
Dr. W.A. Dozier, advi­sor
to Alpha Zeta, said,
"Normally the plots are
given out earlier than
they were this year, but
because of the weather
we had to change the date
to March 1, with the plots
being returned on Dec­ember
1."
The project is "non­profit"
with a fee of $7 for
one plot. Dozier said,
"The fee pays for
breaking up, tilling, and
preparing the land for
planting. Included in this
process i s fertilizer, lime,
treatment for nematodes,
fumagation and irriga­tion
water.
It's with the water
where we are going to get
into trouble," Dozier
said.
"We are going to get in
trouble because we are
going to run out of money
before we get the water
paid for," he said.
Dozier hinted the cost
for plots may increase
next year if the funds
don't cover the cost of the
water to be used for
irrigation.
"The saddest part of
the whole thing, Dozier
said, "is that a lot of
late-comers wanted them
(plots), but it was too
late. We advertised that,
they were for rent over at
the Union Building and
here at the department,
but some people just put
things off."
The first year the ser­vice
project started, 250
plots were sold.
"It really hadn't caught
on that well then," Dozier
said. But I feel we could
have sold 450 or so more
this year, if we had had
the land."
The first year the pro­ject
began, Alpha Zeta
bought tools for the
gardeners to use on their
plots. The tools are kept
at the Student Act
Building and may be
checked out in the same
manner sports equipment
is.
Dozier said those who
participate are from "all
over the school."
"I think there are prob­ably
more from the other
side of campus, like the
business and engineering
areas. We have a good
across-the-board type
thing," he said.
"This is a particularly
good project for married
students." Ten dollars
would be the maximum
figure for planting."
Cochran said it was a
"great savings" as com­pared
with the cost of
fresh vegetables at any
grocery store.
Each gardener is given
a cooperate extension
handout and there is a
meeting to discuss how to
plant, what to plant, and
questions are answered.
The extension publication
that tell what insecticides
to use, are put on the
bulletin board at the
plots.
"There hasn't been any
problems with vandals so
far," Dozier said, "but if
trouble should start then
we will organize the
gardeners and take turns
guarding the plots."
Dozier said, "The only
restriction is that mari­juana
or something
illegal not be planted.
Also the weeds must be
kept down."
The land for the plots,
the old Horticulture
Farm, is owned by the
University and the dean
has control over what Is
done with the land.

AU Athletic Department gets new football recruiting aid
By Donna Cook
Plainsman Staff Writer
How does a university
get football recruits to
sign—buy them steak
dinners, offer a winning
team? Auburn's answer
's the Auburn Tigerettes,
a female addition added
to the recruitment pro­gram
last football season.
The Tigerettes a r e girls
chosen as hostesses to aid
in recruiting high school
football players to sign
scholarships at Auburn.
Qualifications for
Tigerette are a overall 1.0
g.p.a., attractiveness,
friendly personality, the
ability to make people
feel at ease and being
currently enrolled at Au­burn.
Danita McCauley, 3PB,
a Tigerette, said spon­taneity
is also helpful in
answering questions
about the University. She
said the recruits some­times
ask questions that
aren't general and the
girls should be well in­formed
about Auburn to
meet these situations.
Stone selects new
cabinet positions
By Joel Martin
Plainsman Staff Writer
Jeff Stone, SGA-presi-ent
elect, began selecting
his cabinet Wednesday.
He said changes will be
made in accordance with
the people who apply and
the "needs of the stu­dents."
Specifically, he plans to
combine the director­ships
of academic facili­ties
and academic policy
into the office of the
Secretary of Academic
Affairs. He will eliminate
the Director of Com­munity
and Inter-school
Relations to create the
Director of High School,
Junior College and Inter-school
Relations.
Secretaries are to be
appointed in the areas of
academic affairs, politi­cal
affairs, public rela­tions,
student rights and
student welfare.
In addition, Stone will
appoint three assistants
to the president, an ad­ministrative
vice-presi­dent,
an executive secre­tary
and a press secre­tary.
Appointment of Uni­versity
committees will
begin Tuesday.
"You have to be able to
cooperate with people
and know how to relate
well. The. judges also look
to see if a girl can deal
with inter-racial situa­tions
that may occur,"
McCauley said.
The girls a r e picked by
judges consisting of seve­ral
coaches, football
players and coaches' sec­retaries.
Tigerette Teresa Rob­inson,
2PB, said the girls
act as hostesses to the
recruits, their parents
and their high school
coaches by showing them
around Auburn. She said
the Tigerettes take the
recruits to a pre-game
luncheon at Sewell Hall
and return with them
after the game for a
reception.
At the beginning of foot­ball
season when the
number of recruits
visiting Auburn is small,
two Tigerettes are as­signed
to host each re­cruit,
but Robinson said
only one girl is assigned
as tne number of recruits
increases.
Karen Hudson, 1FLB,
said the girls are given
handouts on the recruits
so they can become
familiar with their
hobbies and interests.
The girls aren't allowed
to talk much about the
recruits' signing with Au­burn,
but the Tigerettes
should be able to talk
about the recruits' inter­ests
and be able to make
them feel at ease.
In addition to their
duties as recruiting
hostesses, the Tigerettes
also hosted the annual
football banquet, which
involved community and
civic leaders, alumni and
former Heisman Trophy
winner Pat Sullivan. The
girls will also be hosting
the A-Day game in May.
Being a Tigerette offers
a girl the opportunity to
" learn more about the Uni­versity,
involves her with
more people and helps
her to better know what is
going on around campus,
Robinson said.
She said being a
Tigerette has helped her
better understand the
coaches' job in recruiting
and has made her ap­preciate
the football team
and its efforts.
There is no financial
obligation in being a
Tigerette, and there is no
entry fee. The Athletic
Department pays for uni­forms
and expenses.
Tigerette interviews
will be held Monday
through Thursday.

Stress, identity, relationships pose problems
By Marion Hollon
Plainsman Staff Writer
Many struggling students may
not agree that college years are the
best years of your life. However,
most students who visit the Uni­versity's
Student Development
Service concerning mental health
have a lot going for them, notes Dr.
Chuck T. Rubio, a licensed psychol­ogist
with the service.
"The students who come to see
us are young, intelligent and moti­vated,"
he explains. "They're just
going through some kind of stress
and they need someone to put some
structure into their development,
not to tell them what to do.
"I can't say that students who
come to see us are worse off than
those who don't come. They may
have more problems, but they're
not less healthy psychologically.
"In fact, those students who go to
a student health clinic tend to be
more introspective, questoning and
less rigid."

Misconceptions and misi
create nutritionally unsound diets
By Beth Valen
Assistant Features Editor
Good nutrition is one of the keys
to good health, however, college is
often a nutritionally unsound en­vironment.
According to Sheila Kolb,
registered dietician at the Student
Health Center, there are several
reasons for poor nutrition and
weight gain in college students.
Most students come to college
from a background including a
more active lifestyle and a
mother who regularly prepared
well-balanced meals. At college,
the role of student incorporates
little physical activity.
Students are assaulted by fast
food chains and end up munching
on anything that's available when
the cafeteria is closed and their
roommate has already raided the
refrigerator.
To make a bad situation even
worse, most students are ill-informed
as to what they should
include in their diet or how to count
calories.
A common misconception is that
liquids don't put on weight and
many students are in a fool's
paradise when it come to the
number of calories they consume
over the weekend. A 12-ounce can
of beer contains 171 calories and
mixed drinks usually have 200
calories and up, depending upon
the liquor content.
These and other factors can lead
to a syndrome known as the
"freshman-ten", referring to the
pounds gained •
"Calorie Count-down," a
program for students who wish to
lose weight or just want to learn
good nutrition, has been organized
by Kolb and her assistant, Cindy
Zellner.
Kolb stresses that the ' 'only way
to lose weight and keep it off is to
go on a diet that you can live on for
the rest of your life," and bases the
"Count-down" program on this
principle.
Each student has a personal
interview to determine an individ­ual
diet, taking into consideration
the base metabolism (present
weight times 13 calories per pound
equalling calories per day to main­tain
present bodyweight), personal
likes and dislikes as well as present
eating habits. The diets are cal­culated
to result in a loss of one or
two pounds a week and translated
to an exchange list.
At mealtimes, pre-measured
servings are labeled according to
the basic good group it represents
Each student knows how many
servings from each group she is
allotted and chooses accordingly.
There are no fried foods or sugar
on the diet plan and everything is
prepared in a low-calorie way—
broiled meats, steamed veget­ables,
etc.
Kolb considers quick weight-loss
gimmicks such as "the-finger-down-
the-throat-trick" to induce
vomitting, or the heavy use of
laxatives method to be dangerous.
She said these methods can cause
muscle deterioration and become
involuntary reactions to eating.
Fasting is not recommended, but
would not be fatal for short periods
of time as long as the individual
was healthy and consumed plenty
of fluids.
Kolb's dieters group consists of
seven girls who have lost a total of
40 pounds this quarter. The pro­gram
is also open to the male
student population. Kolb said she
has detected male students on
campus with a need for the diet
program.
There is room for 20 students
each quarter at a cost of $225.75.
Late joiners pay a pro-rated fee.
Kolb said students who wish to
consult her may do so by asking a
doctor at the Student Health Center
for a referral.
Auburn students seek help for
anything from mild test anxiety to
a psychotic breakdown, says SDS
Coordinator Dr. Paul W. Crouch
Jr., also a licensed psychologist.
"Students come to us with prob­lems
being able to relate with the
other sex, not living up to what they
want to do, being anxious about
tests and breaking up with a
boyfriend or girlfriend." Crouch
said seniors complain that, after
all their preparation, they don't
want to go on. Women are some­times
disturbed about their lack of
sexual enjoyment and men often
seek help if they are impotent or if
they are unable to have an
erection.
Rubio said "most problems are
related to identity, such as getting
along with other people, forming
and maintaining relationships and,
in general, adjusting to college.
"It's difficult to identify drugs or
alcohol as a problem and come to
terms with it, especially at this
age. Students don't specifically
come here to get off drugs unless
they are recommended."
Neither Rubio or Crouch have
noticed a certain age or class of
students who use the SDS for
mental health reasons.
"We probably see more single
females, though," Dr. Rubio said.
"I think they have a harder time
defining their roles and they are
less likely to have support. There is
more pressure on them because of
the conflicts between choosing a
profession or marriage."
Dr. Rubio added that a single
male has the same questions, but
he may think he has to "tough it"
instead of talking to a stranger
about his problems."
More students come to SDS
during fall and winter quarters.
Crouch has observed, explaining
that the weather may have some­thing
to do with the increase.
"Academic deadlines also put a
stress on students. There is a slight
build-up of students coming for
help at mid-term and a big in­crease
by the last three weeks of
the quarter.
"The national suicide rate is
higher during Christmas and
spring," Rubio said. "I tend to see
more people at this time, whether
or not for the same reasons as
suicides."
According to Dr. Rubio, the
suicide rate among Auburn stu­dents
is less than the national
average for colleges of the same
size—one to two actual suicides per
10,000 students.
Lifestyles, academics
No time left for health
By Joy Whetstone
Plainsman Staff Writer
A student's lifestyle has more
effect on his health than just about
anything else. Sure, individual life­styles
vary. Generally though, the
average college student can boast
the most crowded and least
organized lifestyle on the block.
College students are notorious
for trying to cram 30 hours worth of
activity into a 24 hour day. Some
even succeed. Most, though, will
attend to only those things that are
immediately Important like tests,
dates and getting a tan, and neglect
those things they feel can wait until
tomorrow.
Health seems to fall Into the
"wait 'till tomorrow" category,
somewhere between the end-of-the-quarter
term paper and the thank -
you notes for last year's birthday
gifts. Students tend to think they
are indestructible and that no germ
would dare to attack them. Or,
many reason that they simply do
not have time to get sick, and that
if they must be ill, it will have to be
at a more convenient time.
But when is a convenient time to
get sick? The average student
spends between 13 and 20 hours in
class every week, not counting
labs. Outside assignments
(reading, researching, problem
solving) and homework take a big
part of the week and usually part of
the weekend.
Extracurricular activities
demand time and effort. Members
of any professional society or club
know how much planning and hard
work are put into making an
organization function successfully.
Many Auburn students hold a job
as well as go to school. For some,
the job is necessary; for others, its
just a little help in the bank
account. Either way, the job
demands time and energy.
Social life is demanding, whether
it consists of a week of rush parties
or taking time off with some
. friends. Planning, organizing and
re-organizing take time.
Obviously, no time is convenient
to get sick. But, unless the student
takes good care of himself, he may
find that germs aren't particular or
understanding about a full sched­ule.
Dr. Hodge Eagleson at Drake
Student Health Center said the
main problem is that students
simply don't know what they need.
"All patients deny the things
they need. They should be willing
to admit they're sick at the earliest
possible moment, so they can be
treated before things get serious.
"When a lot of students come,
they don't feel safe and secure.
They are apologetic, and think
their problems are too small. No
problem is too small for us."
Eagleson said that one of the
biggest problems he has seen is in
student / teacher relationships. He
feels that some professors have a
lack of understanding and empathy
for their students, and when a
student feels there is friction
between himself and the professor,
he is inclined to do poorly in his
work.
' 'Students at this university are a
sensitive and wonderful group.
What may not bother others
bothers this group. Insensitivities
in class or outside causes
emotional conflict."
Eagleson thinks there is a strong
correlation between emotional and
physical health. He said that
emotional upsets only aggravate
physical.problems. When students
don't feel good about themselves,
they are more vulnerable to
physical problems.
Eagleson noted that one stu­dent's
emotional problems often
result in another student's physical
ones.
-'During intramural sports,
students' problems are projected
on each other. Just the other week,
for example, a guy got four of his
teeth knocked out. It may not have
been Intentional, but that isn't the
point. We must have more respect
for the human body and pain than
for who wins or loses.
"We have a duty to prevent
injury to ourselves and the other
person. Negligence is purely self-inflicted
injury which has been
inflicted from our own mental state
of negligence."
When asked what effect a hectic
schedule has on a student, Eagle­son
smiled and said that missing a
little sleep Won't hurt you.
Students should always re­member
just that they should not
do anything that will hurt them­selves
or anyone else.
Students, on the other hand,
consider an overcrowded, under­paid
life a health hazard. They
listed all-nighters, weekend-long
parties and bad diet as three of the
most common troubles college
students face.
"All-night studying is the worst.
Man, you smoke like a demon and
consume enough coffee to drown
Pharoah's army. If that doesn't
keep you awake, you can always
eat No-Doze. Then, when you try to
take your exam the next morning,
you're incoherent.
"You'd think people would learn
not to do this sort of thing, but lots
of us are just conditioned to feel
guilty if we don't."
Recreation and relaxation are
great. So is partying, up to a
certain point. Then, it can be a fate
worse than death. Some people just
don't know when to quit and wind
up tired and hung-over for the next
three days. Parties during the
week are especially treacherous;
you not only feel terrible the next
morning, but you have to sit
through lectures with a cotton-mouth
and a sick stomach.
There isn't any sure-fire method
to improve the way everybody
lives. Individuals have to set their
own goals and standards. Spring is,
according to Eagleson, the off­season
for serious illnesses, so its a
good time to get in shape and set
better lifestyle patterns for the rest
of the year. You're only as good as

Close encounters aid
flu bugs and viruses
By Donna Cook
Plainsman Staff Writer
Students should learn to "act
sick when they feel sick" in order
to treat infections and prevent
spreading of these infections to
other students, said Dr. Marion A.
Throckmorton, of the Drake Stu­dent
Health Center, about flue
contacted by Auburn students
winter quarter.
When a student feels ill, he
should immediately have the in­fection
checked, Throckmorton
said.
Because of close contact with
other students in dorms, apart­ments
and classrooms, the Vic-toria-
A strain, and possibly the
Russian flu, reached "mini-epi­demic"
proportions last quarter.
Throckmorton said viruses are
transmitted in drops of spittal,
breathed or coughed by persons
infected, and there is not much
students can do to prevent contact.
Stomach viruses, which attack
the gastrine intestinal tract, are
also contacted by students in close
quarters, but Throckmorton said
"there have been no real problem
with these a t Auburn."
The Victoria-A strain, contacted
by many students last quarter,
produces chills, fever, headaches,
body aches and coughing. Students
with these symptoms should get
plenty of rest and drink large
amounts of liquids.
For a period of four to five weeks
last quarter, the 25 beds at the
Health Center were usually filled,
and an estimated 400 students were
hospitalized for 24-48 hours to
receive treatments, Throckmorton
said.
Students hospitalized were given
no specific drugs, but received
"supportive treatments" of bed
rest and were rehydrated intra­venously.
Throckmorton said antibiotics
and penicillin did not work very
well, but said "good ole fashioned
treatments did the trick."
Flu vaccines are developed for
immunization, but actual develop­ment
and distribution take about
one year, and are often ineffective,
Throckmorton said. When vaccines
are developed, flu viruses have
already passed.
Also, immunizations work only
about 70 percent of the time, and
possibly 10 to 20 percent of persons
vaccinated receive viruses from
the immunizations.

'Business is booming' with V.D.
By Penny Lynn Pool
Plainsman Staff Writer
As a child, your mother taught
you to share. But one thing she
wouldn't want you to share is V.D.
Last year in Alabama alone,
24,263 persons shared gonorreah.
There were 336 cases of shared
syphilis. Of course these are only
reported cases so the problem may
be still greater than figures indi­cate.
Herpes Simplex II, one of the
most serious venereal disease,
doesn't have to be reported.
The number one reported com­municable
disease in this country
is gonorreah, followed by the
common cold and then by syphilis.
Veneral disease claims a new
victim every 12 seconds or five
victims a minute.
"Gonorreah, that's where the
business is booming," according to
Maxie Fleming, area venereal
disease control expert. She said
since 1966 gonorreah in Alabama
have increased almost 600 percent,
from 4,100 to 24,263 persons.
"Gonorreah is so common and
the test to detect it so much more
complicated that the syphilis test,
that the health clinics usually try to
prevent syphilis and follow up the
sexual contacts on it more than
gonorrhea. On any V.D. case, an
average of five persons have to be
contacted and checked.
She said from 80 to 90 percent of
women who have gonorreah don't
have symptons. Also, before
marrying, in almost all states, a
blood test for syphlllis is required
but not for gonorrhea.
The culture for gonorrhea is
incubated for 48 to 72 hours. It's
sent to Montgomery where it's
read and the results sent back. This
takes a week and some people don't
want to be bothered.
in a male, gonorreah shows up in
two to eight days after contact with
an infected person and consists of
pus discharge from the penis,
painful inflammation in the
urinary canal, which causes
burning during urination and an
urgent need to frequently urinate.
In females, gonorrhea can go
undetected. There may or may not
be a burning in the genital area and
there may be a slight vaginal
discharge that could be attributed
to other causes.
Without treatment the infection
can spread into the reproductive
tract. It may enter the abdomen
and cause peritonitis. The acute
infection may subside to be
followed by a period of chronic
infection resulting in sterility.
Women can have the disease and
transmit it unknowingly. If left
untreated it may cause arthritis,
heart problems or serious pelvic
disorders.
Dr. J. Donald Miller of the U.S.
Center for Disease Control esti­mates
that more than 600,000
women have gonorrhea and don't
know it. In most states tests for
syphilis in pregnant women are
required but not for gonorrhea.
Painting the picture even darker
is a new strain of gonorrhea which
is resistant to penicillin. According
to a spokesman for Operation
Venus (O.V.), a toll free hotline
that answers questions about
venereal disease, the new strain
has only been seen in the past
couple of years. It is usually found
around military bases or In people
who have become infected in other
countries and brought It into the
United States.
Venereal diseases brought back
from Southeast Asia had required
larger doses of penicillin but In
large doses it did wipe out the
gonorrhea, which isn't true with
the new strain of gonorrhea. How­ever,
the new strain can be effec­tively
cured with some other anti­biotics.
In 1965, Alabama had more cases
of syphilis than any other state, but
since then health officials have
helped to treat and prevent the
disease to rank Alabama twenty-sixth
nationally in the number of
cases of syphilis.
The first sign of syphilis is a
pinless chancre, or sore, which
usually appears two to six weeks
after contact with an infected
person. This may soon disappear
but the disease hasn't disap­peared;
it's only gone the chancre,
can include skin rashes over part
or all of the body, baldness, sore
throat, fever and headaches. These
can also improve without treat­ment.
The final stages can include
crippling the nervous system,
syphilitic insanity, deafness, blind­ness,
heart disease or death. Ac­cording
to The National Commis­sion
on Venereal Disease, institu­tional
care for the syphilitic insane
costs over $40 million a year. Many
people die each year from un­treated
syphilis. One in one
hundred will lose their eyesight. An
overall rate of one in 25 of those
afflicted will become in some way
permanently crippled or incapaci­tated
due to syphilis.
Fleming and Operation Venus
said there is little information on
Herpes Simplex II, -j^ relatively
new venereal disease. Operation
Venus said it is increasing to the
point that it might outdistance
gonorreah. An estimated 300,000
persons contracted it last year.
Fleming said it is a sexually
transmittable disease, but since it
is a virus it isn't necessarily trans­mitted
sexually. Also, there is no
established treatment for Herpes.
Different doctors try different
things and have had some success
but even if the person isn't in­fectious
the disease can reoccur at
any time. A bad sunburn, a cold or
sexual encounter can trigger a
reoccurance.
Herpes I occurs above the waist
and isn't a venereal disease but
Herpes II is a painful venereal
disease below the waist. According
to O.V., research had only been
done in the past ten years but it is
firmly believed it can cause cervi­cal
cancer. One treatment which
seemed to work was painting the
blisters with a chemical and then
exposing them to ultraviolet light
to break up the virus; however,
recent controlled studies indicate
the treatment is ineffective. Also,
one of the studies suggests this
treatment might cause cancer.
O.V. said sometimes the blisters
clean up spontaneously but often
all that can be done is to reduce the
pain be painting the blisters with
camphor.
Fleming said doctors are re­quired
to report V.D. cases but
often choose not to. Also some
doctors aren't familiar enough
with the V.D. symptoms to spot
them in patients. Physicians in
privat practice report about one
case of Herpes Simplex II to every
ten cases of gonorrhea but Fleming
said this is probably inaccurate.
The most important reason is that
patients with recurrent herpes quit
going to the doctor when they
realize therapy is ineffective.
Most figures for all venereal
diseases come from public clinics.
Many private physicians will not
tell the patient he has V.D. but will
simply treat the infection, Fleming
said.
The increased use of the pill and
decreased use of the condom has
led to an increased number of V.D.
cases, according to Dr. Nicholas J.
Fiumara of the Massachusettes
Department of Public Health. The
pill has probably increased sexual
activity by removing the fear of
pregnancy. The condom offered
some protection against V.D. but
the pill doesn't. Also, the chemical
ingredients of the pill increase the
moisture content of the vagina
providing an ideal environment for
the growth of the gonorrhea germ.
Fleming said, "One reason why
V.D. is on the increase is lack
of morality. Sexual contacts can't
be found. Some people who have
been infected met their partner at
the beach or something and don't
even know their partner's name.
One particularly bad aspect of
the problem is that of unborn
babies being blinded by the
gonorreah germs in the birth canal
or babies being born with the
disease.
A mother who has syphilis may
deliver a dead child. If a mother
has Herpes the doctor automati­cally
does a Caeserean to protect
the newborn infant who might die if
infected in the birth canal. In
addition, people are often unaware
they have V.D. Fleming said older
people sometimes come in with
other problems and find they have
a lot of syphilis germs" In their

Busted ankles, noses, knees;
Intramural injuries increasing?
By Julie Johnson
Plainsman Staff Writer
Participation in intramural
sports at Auburn is increasing
every year said Claude V. Saia,
director of Recreational Services
and Intramural Sports at Auburn.
With over 20,000 players in the 1,789
organized intramural sports
teams, the odds of someone being
injured are quite high. According
to Saia, this is not true of his teams.
"Since I've been director, par­ticipation
in intramurals has
grown from 7,000 to over 20,000,"
he said. "When we talk of injuries
versus those numbers, we're not
talking about a whole lot. Yet one
injury is still too many.
"Our country was built on com­petitiveness.
We stress sportsman­ship.
Sure, you've got to play hard,
got to win. As long as you're
keeping score, there will be en­thusiasm.
"At the same time, intramurals
are played according to rules.
There's going to be some injuries,
but I don't think there's any
Auburn student who would pur­posely
hurt another."
Saia referred to the lawsuit an
Auburn student filed against
another student for injuries he
received during an ROTC intra­mural
game last fall. The judge
refused to give damages to the
prosecuting student.
"I'm glad the judge threw It
out," said Saia. "I don't blame
him. No one is forced to play. You
go out there because you want to."
Is there any way to avoid injuries
while playing intramural games?
According to Dr. Dunlap Oleson
of the Health Center, it is impos­sible
to avoid all injuries, but they
may be minimized by observing
three standards.
Oleson recommends pre-con­ditioning
exercises to be done
before games, wearing protective
gear while playing and closer
supervision by referees during the
games.
Saia disagrees with Oleson on
closer referee supervision, he feels
there are enough trainers on duty
to fulfill the demands of the game.
Saia defended the intramural
rules regarding protective gear.
"It isn't mandatory to wear protec­tive
gear," he said. "It's up to the
player. We have a few regulations
they have to go by, and officials
will penalize them for breaking
these rules. Otherwise, they are on
their own."
But there are emotional aspects
of intramural games, also. "Rival­ries
between fraternities, sorori­ties,
and services sometimes cause
personal feelings to get in the
way," said Oleson. "Where rivalry
is intense, the competitive spirit is
intense. Sometimes it gets to be
more than good clean fun."
The most common injury report­ed
to the Health Center from sports
related activities is a sprained
ankle, although shin splints,
broken noses and damaged knees
have also occurred.
A more seriously injured person
would be referred by the Health
Center to Dr. Jack Houston, a
Columbus physiotherapist who ex­amines
sports-related injuries on
Thursdays at the Health Center.
With him come several physicians
wishing to gain experience in the
field of sports medicine.
Saia said the Health Center had
turned down his request for a
doctor to be present at every
intramural game. Therefore, at
least one trainer is present at
intramural games to provide im­mediate
first aid treatment to
injured players. This fall, 12 new
playing fields will be open for
intramural use. Saia feels this will
lessen the injuries.
Saia will present his budget for
Recreational Services and Intra­mural
Sports for the 1978-79 season
to the Budget and Finance Com­mittee
April 24. In it, he asks for
money to buy a full-ton flatbed to be
used an an emergency vehicle
from one field to the next, as well
as to line fields for intramural
games. He would also like to buy a
walkie-talkie system for better
communication among the dif­ferent
fields.
"When I first took over two years
ago," said Saia, "there were no
lights, water, or toilet in the tiny
fieldhouse.
"We have got to have new
equipment. My job is to see we
have things for students. We reach
more students than any other
department on campus, yet we
only get 78 cents per quarter per
student to spend on recreational
faculties.
"The SGA should re-evaluate the
situaiton. Who is offering the most
to students?
"We've accomplished many
goals," said Saia. "Safety is one
goal. My first priority is to the
students of Auburn. We will con­tinue
to improve the intramural
system to try to avoid injuries.
"If you're ever satisfied, you
might as well lock up the door.
You're cheating the students."

An Auburn University
professor has received a
grant of $206,000 for a
three-year study to find
out what happens to
people when they are
forced to change environ­ments,
jobs and profes­sions.
jDr. Paul Starr, pro­fessor
of sociology and
anthropology, will be
looking specifically at the
adaption and stress fact­ors
involved with the
forced relocation of cer­tain
refugees.
When compared with
important aspects of
other migrant and immi­grant
groups to the
United States, and groups
or individuals within the
U.S. adapting to new en­vironments
either here or
abroad, the biosocial data
gathered may suggest
guidelines useful in fu­ture
policy decisions
The study will look at
two different groups of
Vietnamese: those in
West Alabama and Flor­ida
where the refugees
have been assimilated
into existing communi­ties,
and one in San
Diego, Calif., where some
20,000 Vietnamese are liv­ing
together in what some
already call "Little
Saigon."
Many of the refugees
are suffering emotional
stress, chronic depres­sion
and various other
mental disorders requir­ing
professional atten­tion,
Starr said.
He sal<J ..there is little
information available
about the ways in which
the emotional health
needs of the refugees can
best be met.
The National Institute
of Mental Health, which
awarded the grant, will
be interested in the find­ings.
What makes for a
"successful" or "un­successful"
adaptation to
new communities is not
fully recognized. For
some, adaption may
mean fairly complete as­similation,
with the oblit­eration
of any significant
cultural differences.
For others, however,
successful adaptation
means preserving an im­portant
and perhaps dis­tinct
way of life. Attitudes
toward traditional ways
of life and attitudes re­garding
new environ­ments
probably influence
how immigrants perceive
and select alternatives
and evaluate their own
achievements, Starr said.
Since the experience of
the Vietnamese in Ameri­ca
is unique, the study
offers an unparalleled op­portunity
to study signifi­cant
issues concerning
the experience of individ­uals
coping with a
dramatically different
social environment, ac­cording
to Starr.
' 'Hypothesis of the
study," he said, "is that
the match between the
experience and resources
of the refugee with the
needs of the receiving
community probably de­termines
the refugees'
psychological and socio­economic
adjustment."
Systematic interviews
of 200 heads of house­holds
will be conducted in
each community at three
different time periods to
determine respondents'
experience, attitudes and
well-being. Selected
community members will
also be interviewed to
determine the nature of
community attitudes.
Starr, on the AU faculty
since 1975, has lived in the
Middle East, worked in
Southeast Asia and has
studied social change in
Malaysia.

'Juice Boost' next week
Mom
Huddling close to its
mother, this baby rhesus
monkey is the latest ad­dition
to the Auburn psy­chology
primate lab. The
baby was born April 4 and
it's sex is still undeter­mined,
according to John
Counts, animal technician
for the lab. Counts said
the mother takes total
care of the baby, who still
has no name or number
(many of the lab's
monkeys are numbered
instead of named to avoid
confusion). Monkeys at
the primate lab are used
selectively for psycho­logical
experiments in­cluding
skill learning
through conditioning and
behavior modification.

Jenelle Mims leaves office with strong
JENELLE MEMS H*"***"- r0B* •
...reflects on her term as SOA vice president
By Donna Cook
Plainsman Staff Writer
She speaks softly, but
don't let It fool you.
Jenelle Mims, former
SGA vice president and
president of the Senate,
voices strong opinions on
her "enriching year" in
the student government.
Mims was the first
woman SGA vice presi­dent
since 1967. She was a
senator from the School
of Arts and Sciences prior
to her election as vice
president.
The Senate did its best
with the issues of the
year, and showed much
dedication, she said.
Mims listed four com­mittees
as accomplishing
the most in the SGA last
year: Budget and Fi­nance
(B&F), which
worked with allocating
funds to campus organi­zations
and projects;
Academic Affairs, which
established an honors
program, all night study
lounges and a reference
library at Haley Center;
the Code of Laws Com­mittee,
which rewrites,
revises and makes re­commendations
con­cerning
Bills of Law; and
the Traffic and Parking
Committee, which estab­lished
the Traffic Appeals
Board and researched the
Ped Mall proposal.
Mims said the ped mall
"was a great idea, and
I'm sorry it was voted
down."
"With the growing
number of students, the
ped mall was a step in the
right direction for
Auburn in cutting down
on the danger of acci­dents,"
she said.
However, there was
some "sluggishness and
slowness" in the Senate,
she said.
Mims said B&F's
funding cuts to organiza­tions
last year were
necessary, because
money from student
activity fees was not
enough to allot the needed
funds to the 13 projects.
However, she said intra­mural
sports should have
received more money.
Mims is in favor of the
proposed 4.0 grading
system, but said the stu­dent
liason to the Auburn
City Council should be
elected rather than ap­pointed.
Mims, like many other
SGA members, worked
closely with the admini­stration.
"Learning to work with
the administration and
hearing their opinions
was rewarding," she
said, adding that the rap­port
with the administra­tion
was "great," but the
thoughts
group needed to take a
larger role with the fi­nancing
of certain pro­jects.
Mims advised the
1978-79 SGA to "dedicate
themselves to doing the
best job they can do, put a
lot of time into their
work, and make reaiistic
goals that they can
follow."
Bolt
Executive Secretary talks of achievements and failures
By VlckeyHunt
Plainsman Staff Writer
Headway achieved in
establishing an under­graduate
library in Haley
Center and the failure
to institute a night shuttle
bus system are what re­cently
retired SGA Exe­cutive
Secretary Andy
Bolt considers to be this
year's SGA's greatest
achievement and worst
failure.
Bolt said the recent
approval of what the SGA
refers to as an "internal
internship'' program is at
the top of his personal list
of projects successfully
completed by this year's
SGA.
This program would
give University students
the chance to gain seve­ral
hours of academic
credit for work done in
on-campus jobs. For ex­ample,
a student working
toward a health-related
career might work at the
Student Health Center,
without pay, and receive
scholastic credit.
Bolt lists the intern pro­ject
and the proposed ped
mall as suggestions
which need immediate
action by the newly-elect­ed
officers and senate.
"Although the ped mall
is in the overall plan for
the University, there is no
timetable which states
when it will go into
affect," Bolt said.
Speaking of his own
efforts in the SGA,Bolt
said, "If I had the chance
to go back and do it all
over again I think I would
try to put more vigor and
work into it. With studies
and other activities, it's
hard to get everything
done and spend as much
time as you'd like to
working on SGA pro­jects."
Bolt also said that if he
had the chance to do it
over again he would work
towards better com­munications
between the
senate and the cabinet,
and within the cabinet
itself.
The former cabinet
executive said he be­lieves
public relations to
be a vital tool in the
success of work at­tempted
by the SGA. Bolt
said there was much stu­dent
response stirred by
The Plainsman coverage
of the senate's activities.
WEGL also cooperated in
letting the students know
what actions were taking
place in their governmen­tal
body, Bolt said.
"What good is it for the
SGA to offer things like
the Landlord Tenant
Handbook and the Con­sumer
Protection Re­ports
if the students don't
know about them?"Bolt
said.
Bolt said that trying to
get many things done in a
relatively short period of
time has proved to be an
Insurmountable problem
this year as in past years.
"There are so many steps
to go through in getting
things done that projects
sometimes die between
desks," Bolt said.
Offering suggestions
which might be helpful to
the newly-elected sena­tors
and officers, Bolt
urged a careful study of
what has already been
done and said he hopes
next year's SGA would
"seek continuity."

Not satisfied, not discouraged
Bush leaves SGA oost with
l " i nf ilWl • »
ay, April tO, H78 The Auburn Plainsman
for future
By Beckl Thomas
Assistant News Editor
He's been criticized,
blasted, laughed at and
called names. But to
former SGA President
John Bush, it really
doesn't matter anymore.
His year as the students'
goodwill ambassador,
lobbyer and decision­maker
is over—and he's
glad.
"I'm relieved it's over.
It's a great deal of pres­sure
that's off of me, it
really is. It's like taking a
weight off my should­ers,"
he said.
Bush officially became
"just another student"
Monday night when Jeff
Stone, 4CE, was installed
as the 1978-79 SGA presi­dent.
"It felt strange when I
gave Jeff the keys to the
office. It's like having to
move," Bush said.
But Bush isn't singing
the blues. Overall, he felt
like he did a good job for
the University, and the

JOHN BUSH
.relieved to be "just another student" again
year has given him op­portunities
not available
to the average student.
"I've had personal
satisfaction from getting
to know people. I feel like
a lot of people have taken
a little bit of time to know
me more than on the
surface.
"I'm a lot closer to
some people, like the ad­ministration
and teach­ers,"
he said.
"I've heard a lot of
people blast the admin­istration,
but I don't feel
like I can blast the admin­istration,"
he said.
He remembers being
surprised several times
with the administration,
especially during talks
with President Harry M.
Philpott.
When student activity
fees were raised last
year, there still wasn't
enoughmoney, Bush said.
The SGA asked for an
additional $15,000 and
Philpott approved it.
"If he wanted to be
difficult, he didn't have to
doit," Bush said.
But that's not to say the
two head men never had
disagreements.
The Health Center con­flict
last summer was an
example.
Both respected the
other's opinion, but "he
believes in doing some
things different than I
do," Bush said.
Bush was careful when
listing the accomplish­ments
of his administra­tion.
' "There are a few things
we can see and that's how
people gauge accomplish­ments,"
he said.
Bush cited the Traffic
Appeals Board, the re­vision
of the academic
honesty code/ the addi-'
tion of the Haley Center
library and the approval
of the Intramural field-house
as the top achieve­ments;
"The greatest failure
though was the ped man.
There ain't ho excuse for
it," the frustrated Bush
said, referring to the Uni­versity
Traffic and
Parking committee's
recent rejection of the
proposal.
His attitude is easy to
understand. During his
first year as SGA senator,
the ped mail was his
"baby," and he continued
to back the proposal dur­ing
his term as president.
Stone, a fraternity
brother and friend, may
follow in Bush's footsteps
since the project was one
of Stone's main goals as
chairman of the Traffic
and Parking committee.
Bush thinks the propos­al
will pass—someday.
Bush, labeling his fail­ures
as personal and
SGA-related, said letting
st
