IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE?
.Two doctors remain at the health center after resignations.
By Rick Harmon and
Mark Sparkman
Plainsman Staff Writers
Four doctors have resigned
from the Auburn University Stu­dent
Health Center. Drs. Oswald
G. Burkhart, Darlene L. Hunter,
Thomas R. Hunter and Fred M.
Turbeville left the Center on June
30 leaving two practicing physi­cians,
Dunlap Oleson and William
B. Turk.
Two of the three doctors con­tacted
by The Plainsman cited
salaries incomparable to those of
practicing physicians at other
college health centers, excessive
working hours and poor adminis­trative
practices as their reasons
for leaving. The third doctor
contacted would cite only
"personal" reasons for leaving.
The fourth doctor could not be
reached.
Complaints by physicians had
been brought to the attention of
the University administration as
early as February, 1977.
Student Health Center Director
Garth L. Jarvis responded "no
comment" to the statements by
the resigning doctors.
Special assistant to the presi­dent
Dr. W. Harold Grant, who
oversees the Health Center,
stated, "We have continued to
have personnel problems. I don't
know the cause."
Some of the doctors stated the
two remaining doctors cannot
adequately handle the caseload.
"Two doctors are going to be
rushed and pushed," said one
physician, - adding- since six
doctors cannot see all the pa­tients
"the students aren't going
to see doctors even if the doctors
work 24 hours straight.
"The students are going to be
paying for something not avail­able
to them."
Another doctor said, "I guess it
will be Katie bar the door. I
don't see any way two doctors
can handle the situation.
"Two doctors can't cover the
whole thing and I don't see how
the University can expect them
to."
Grant said, "We may need to
have some contingency plans if
doctors are not recruited by fall
quarter."
Grant stated the University
currently has no contingency
plans.
The University has actively
recruited doctors for more than a
year in an attempt to fill the
position vacated by Dr. Edgar E.
Heller. Jarvis said the Univer­sity
has made tentative agree­ments
with one or more doctors
"but nothing definite."
Jarvis rated the University's
chances of hiring more doctors
for the Health Center as "good."
Grant said, "We are making a
real concerted effort in recruit­ing."
"I have discouraged doctors
from coming to Auburn," one
doctor who has resigned said.
"I was deceived in coming here
thinking I would be making more
money. As far as the work
factor, it was more than any
doctor was doing before he came
to the Health Center."
Another doctor also said he was
misled. "I was promised time off
when I came, and the University
just would not honor the pro­mise,"
he said. "Most of the
salaries that were offered the
doctors were only about one-third
of what they would make in
private practice. The majority of
doctors came because they were
promised they could work lighter
caseloads.
One doctor said an incentive
given by the University was the
promise of a straight 40-hour
work week.
Once at Auburn, doctors said
they worked as much as 98 hours
in one week including time on
call. One doctor said he worked
66 hours per week for a period of
seven weeks.
Two doctors gave other reasons
for resigning. Said one, "If
anyone had told me of my net
salary, I wouldn't have looked at
the place."
The doctors stated they were
not aware of how large a differ­ence
there would be between
their gross and net salaries. One
doctor said he was not told of the
city occupational tax, Alabama
income tax or mandatory pay-

Nurses file letter of protest against infirmary
By Dick Parker and
Maureen Drost
Plainsman Staff Witers
"Dr. Jarvis does not consider
nurses part of the 'professional'
staff and is doing all he can to
make life difficult for the nursing
staff at the expense of the
provision of good quality health
care for the students at Auburn
University," said 12 Auburn Uni­versity
Health Center nurses in a
letter sent to Auburn Trustee
Henry B. Stegall, executive sec­retary
to Gov. George C. Wal­lace.
As a result of the letter, an
investigation is being made by
the Auburn University
Health Committee into the opera­tion
and administration of the
health center.
Committee member Dr. Garth
L. Jarvis, health center director
and target of numerous accus­ations
within the letter, and W.
Harold Grant, overseer of the
health center and Auburn Uni­versity
Health Committee
chairman, will not take part in
the investigation.
The health committee had
planned to begin interviews with
nurses Monday at 1 p.m. Repre­sentatives
of the Plainsman and
another area newspaper arrived
shortly before one to cover the
meeting.
Acting committee head Patricia
Teer said it would be a bad idea
for the members of the press to
remain because she would "vio­late
the trust of secrecy" between
the health committee and the
nurses. But Teer said, "This is
not a secret meeting."
The press members remained
to see if nurses would object
individually to their presence, but
the meeting was adjourned by
Teer before the nurses arrived.
Teer said she did not know when
the next meeting would be.
Auburn places deadline
on freshman enrollment
Auburn University will not ac­cept
any more freshman applica­tions
for the 1977 fall quarter
after July 20, according to an
announcement by Wilbur Tincher,
dean of student services.
"We regret having to make this
decision, but otherwise we will
have too many students to be
housed and to be taught without

DRAKE RESIGNS
Dr.Harold Drake, an associate
professor in the Speech Depart­ment,
resigned after being denied
tenure (See page 3)
GOLFER WITHDRAWS

All-American Golfer, was forced
to withdraw from the prestigious
British Open on the third day of
play, when a virus caused him to
pass out on the 17th hole. (See
page 8)
affecting the quality of educa­tion,"
said Tincher.
The University will process all
applications now on file and will
continue to accept applications
postmarked before July 20.
As of July 7, Auburn had
already accepted 185 more stu­dents
than it did during the entire
application period of 1976, and
"10 to 15 applications a day have
been coming in since then,"
Tincher said.
The University has now ac­cepted
over 4,600 new freshmen
for the fall quarter and looks for
an overall enrollment of over
18,000.
According to Tincher, this is
not the first time Auburn has had
to limit enrollment.
"Before 1974, during the peak
growth periods for higher educa­tion
across the nation, we had to
limit applications each year, but
we have accepted all who could
meet admission requirements
since then."
Tincher had no explanation for
the large number of applications
already received, but he did note
Auburn has continued to set new
enrollment records during the
past few years though other
universities are finding their en­rollments
decreasing or leveling
off.
In later comments Teer said
the nurses were upset that the
letter they sent to Steagall had
been returned to the University
administration. She said they
had expected complete confident­iality
in the matter.
Steagall said he doesn't believe
the letter was relayed to Auburn
directly from his office. The only
person Steagall said he gave the
letter was Vice-Chairman of the
Auburn Board of Trustees R. C.
"Red" Bamberg. Bamberg was
later contacted by Elizabeth
Barker, executive director of the
Alabama State Nurses Assoc­iation,
on the matter. Bamberg
was unavailable for comment.
Other allegations in the letter
include, "The acute problem is
that Dr. Garth Jarvis runs the
Drake facility like a personal
fiefdom, without regard to the
rights and sensitivity of other
staff."
The letter stated the nursing
service had to use mattress
covers for blankets one week last
winter because the blankets were
locked up and only Jarvis and
Business Manager Charles
Bohman, neither of whom was
available at the time, had keys.
The letter continues, saying,
"The most significant problem
involves a lack of communication
between the medical director and
the nursing staff.
"He (Jarvis) stated he would
never publicly defend a nurses'
action even if she were carrying
out his own direct order.
"An acute problem is that
Auburn does not have a compre­hensive
employe handbook for
non-academic personnel which is
disseminated." The only two
copies at the Drake Sudent
Health Center are kept locked up
by the Business Manager and Dr.
Jarvis."
The letter also said nurses
"who were employed with the
understanding that they would
work certain shifts and could not
work other shifts, are now being
told they must be 'flexible'
enough to change or find other
jobs.
"The nurses have been told by
Dr. Grant," the letter says, "that
if they can't get along with Dr.
Jarvis they can leave."
Grant responded by saying, "I
don't recall saying that. I would
not have any intention of saying
that."
Jarvis, who has submitted a
reply to Grant In the form of a
memo, would not let that reply be
used by The Plainsman in re­sponse
to the nurses' charges
against him and said "No
comment"when asked for a ver­bal
reply.
Grant said many of the com­plaints
are a "year-and-a-half
old."
"A real effort has been made
by Dr. Jarvis to respond to the
complaints," Grant said.
"We've continued to have per­sonnel
problems, but I'm not sure
of the cause," he added. "We've
asked the health committee to try
to find out.
"We said we would remain
completely uninvolved since we
might inhibit some of the em­ployes."
Grant said Jarvis met with the
nurses a year ago and received a
list of complaints. "He's made

in the performance of his
duties is scheduled to go on trial
this Monday.
The arrest was made following
an incident which took place on
the Auburn University campus
near the old Music Building in
Samford Park.
During the incident, according
to police reports, the two were
involved in a scuffle in which
Feehan's weapon discharged
twice accidentally, with one shot
hitting McCurdy In the leg.
McCurdy told The Plainsman
he didn't know why he was ar­rested.
"I don't know why he
picked me up. He (Feehan) men­tioned
something about drinking;
I hadn't been drinking."
McCurdy said he had parked
his car on College Street and was
on his way to the street dance at
the Union Building patio. "I was
just walking through the park,"
said McCurdy.
Feehan said he identified him­self
as a police officer before
attempting to arrest McCurdy.
McCurdy said Feehan pulled
his wallet out and "it (the wallet)
was in the dark and I didn't
really know if he was a police­man."
Police reports said a fracas
began when McCurdy struck Fee­han's
arm.
McCurdy denied having initially
struck Feehan.
McCurdy stated after the
scuffle ensued he heard a shot
and ran. He said he then heard
another shot.
McCurdy said he ran several
feet before realizing he was
wounded. McCurdy stated he
said aloud, "I've got shot. I can't
believe this."
Feehan made no comment on
how the gun discharged or which
bullet hit McCurdy.
Feehan also would not com­ment
on why he was arresting
McCurdy on charges of disorderly
conduct. "It would be unethical
for me to say anything before the
trial," Feehan said.
McCurdy said there was an
eyewitness to the incident. Stu­dents
emerging from the Music
Building said they saw an uniden­tified
man running across the
Biggin courtyard immediately fol­lowing
the shots.
Dawson would give no com­ment
as to the existance of an
eyewitness.
After the shooting Feehan kept
his daily work schedule. Dawson
said the incident had "no effect
on his duties or his status with
me."

merits into the University
teacher retirement fund.
The other doctor said
he was also unaware of
the taxes and the retire­ment
fund which he said
"considerably whittled
down his pay." He also
said a cost of living in­crease
had been implied
but had not been adhered
to recently.
The doctors also cited
a new University policy
concerning liability in­surance.
The doctors had
to agree to sign a con­tract
with the University
by July 1, or they would
be forced to leave.
The program was set
up for a six year period
with the University pay­ing
the premiums. If the
doctors left within that
period they would have
to reimburse the Univer­sity
for the premiums.
If the insurance failed
to pay in a liability set­tlement
for any reason,
the doctors were person­ally
liable for $3,400.
Heavy caseloads were
also mentioned by the
doctors as a contributing
factor to their resigning.
Concerning the work load
"it was more than any
doctor was doing before
he came to the Health
Center."
One doctor said each
doctor was seeing 60 to 80
patients a day.
"We had a director
who was a doctor who
would not lift a finger in
a rush situation," he
said. "He would not give
a hand in a pinch. It was
a cause of dissention."
Grant said when the Uni­versity
was looking for a
new Health Center direc­tor,
before Jarvis was
hired, it wanted a person
who would assume both
administrative and
active medical duties.
Grant said Jarvis does
not practice medicine.
"He hasn't practiced
for years," one doctor
said. "He's a figurehead.
There's no evidence that
he's kept abreast with
medicine.
"Administrative poli­cies
came before medical
policies. The patients
were coming in second."
Two doctors stated
another problem was
that the Health Center is
being run by the Univer­sity
administration,
people not involved with
medicine.
One doctor said, "The
doctors have been
frowned on and the
Health Center has been
frowned on by the ad­ministration."
Another doctor said the
Health Center needs to
have some autonomy so
the doctors could make
their own decisions based
on medicine instead of
University policy.
"I am not sorry I came
to Auburn University,"
one doctor said. "I'm
sorry about the way
things worked out."
Another added, "A ra­tional
human being will
rationalize quite a bit
before making a decision
as big as turning in his
resignation, but I feel we
did more than walk the
second mile."

The Student Senate
passed a resolution
Tuesday that urges the
Auburn University
Board of Trustees to
immediately act upon
the establishment of a
nursing program on the
Auburn campus.
The Senate supported
the nursing resolution
with facts such as these:
Auburn is a major land-grant
university in Ala­bama
and a logical site
for a service-oriented
school such as nursing,
considerable interest has
been shown by existing
and potential students,
courses for the first two
non-professional years of
a nursing education are
currently offered at
Auburn and compared to
minimum Department of
Health, Education and
Welfare standards there
is a shortage of regis­tered
nurses in a ten
county geographical
area surrounding
Auburn.
Also Tuesday, a res­olution
to appoint Alan
Little to attend Auburn
City Council meetings in
the absence this quarter
of Daniel Hagood was
not passed.
John Bush, SGA Pres­ident
attending , the
Senate meeting,
defended his right to
appoint a liaison repre­sentative.
As a type of
advisor, the liaison
representative reports
city council activities to
the SGA President.
Bush objected to not
being consulted about
the resolution before the
meeting.
The Code of Laws
Committee is checking
on restrictions for write-in
candidates for Spring
elections, is reviewing
the current Code of
Laws for conflicts and
mainly is investigating
the judging of Auburn
cheerleaders.
The Traffic and Park­ing
Committee is re­searching
the idea for a
traffic court that would
consist of a student
panel who would hear
grievances from citation
receivers.

problems," Grant
added.
"We would like to
resolve the problems
with a minimum of po­larization,"
Grant-said.
"Recommendations will
be made to President
Philpott by the com­mittee.
The President
will give the recom­mendation
very serious
consideration before
making his final de­cision."

WOMEN'S GROUP UNDER FIRE-The
Eagle Forum, an Alabama anti-feminist group
which won the majority of the delegates to the
National Women's Tear Conference, has been
charged with using unscrupulous tactics In that

vi;.;.w professor denied tenure, resigns
By Becki Thomas
Assistant New Editor
An Auburn University
associate professor in
Speech Department has
been denied tenure and
consequently has resign-
3d. Dr. Harold Drake
lid his resignation was
submitted June 27 and
ces effect August 31.
le has acquired another
iversity teaching posi-lon
in radio, television
id general speech, but
rould not disclose the
une of the college to
lie Plainsman.
Drake, who is head of
He mass communica-ions
department, re­ceived
an official notice
from Dr. Bert Bradley,
phairman of the speech
iepartment, which said
brake's "total perfor-lance
and credentials.,
io not indicate a pos­itive
contribution to the
departmental mission in
iture years."
Drake said, "That is
is close to specifics as I
liave received. The ex­planation
is not specific
pnough."
Bradley declined to
say why Drake did not
receive tenure but cited
reasons to explain denial
}f tenure for any
eacher. These include
an ineffective
|teacher, being an effec-ive
teacher but having
ir relations with stu-
9, having poor rela­tions
with other mem-lers
of the department
ind not making a contri­bution
to the graduate
program.
Bradley declined to
say which, if any,
reason applies to Drake.
He did say, "The pur­pose
of tenure is to give
protection and security
to faculty members.
When you give tenure
today you're pretty
much giving life employ­ment
at that institu­tion."
Bradley also said
schools are giving
tenure more reluctantly
and not as quickly as
_ was done in the past.
An individual coming
to Auburn with no prior
teaching experience has
seven years to make
tenure, according to the
American Association of
University Professors
(AAUP) regulations,
which Auburn Universi­ty
follows.
If tenure is not
granted, the institution
cannot retain the
teacher on the staff.
A teacher transferring
to another school must
bring in a minimum of
three years which goes
toward establishing
tenure time, Bradley
said.
Drake has taught at
Auburn since fall, 1973,
and worked at Harper
College in Palatine, 111.
for two years prior to
his arrival at Auburn.
Bradley said the
Speech Department
"definitely" plans to fill
Drake's position. "At
this time of the year,"
he said, "most people
have accepted the job
they're going to have for
the coming year. We
feel that We can obtain a
higher quality person by
simply waiting and con­ducting
a search during
fall quarter."
The request for tenure
is done by a secret
ballot, and only tenured
faculty take part.
According to Drake,
he was turned down by
the tenured staff, but
appealed the decision by
submitting a report, con­sisting
of 150 pages of
evidence to refute the
official notice from
Bradley.
Drake said the report
proved his total perfor­mance
and credentials
and work in the past
four years at Auburn do
qualify him for tenure.
According to Drake,
"Things just don't quite
add up."
Drake said he feels
many reasons for denial
of his tenure were polit­ical.
"I have the distinct
impression after four
years that the chairman
of the department and
some of the members of
the department did not
want me to work as
hard at my job as I did,
because I investigated
too many things, asked
too many questions and
tried to improve condi-tions-
the curriculum for
the students as well as
for the students at the
radio station." Drake is
Faculty Advisor for
'harmacy, gynecologist researched
An SGA Ad Hoc Com-
Imittee formed recently
is beginning its research
into the possibilities of
obtaining a student
pharmacy and a gyne­cologist
at the Student
| Health Center.
Cheryl Golden, com-
I mittee chairman, has
written the University of
Southern California for
information on its stu-
| dent pharmacy.
According to some in­formation
already gath­ered
on University of
Southern California's
student pharmacy, the
J facility, which is almost
Ithree years old, has
>een successful. Uni­versity
of Southern Cali­fornia's
student phar­macy
employs a full-time
pharmacist and a
full-time pharmacy as­sistant.
Officials found it
necessary to increase
student fees to cover
existing and new Health
Center programs, so
fees were increased
from $16 to $22 per
semester. The student
pharmacy receives a
maximum of $2 per stu­dent
from the increase,
a total of $30,000 per
semester or $60,000 per
year. Quality of ser­vices
has also improved.
In. addition to the tet­ter
to University of
Southern California,
committee members are
also contacting Alabama
colleges and universities
about their student phar­macies
and gynecolo­gists.
The several gynecolo­gists
in the Auburn-Ope-lika
area are also being
contacted about the need
for a gynecologist at the
Student Health Center.
WEGL-FM, the campus
radio station.
To further qualify his
feeling, he cited an ex­ample
of how he legal­ized
the internship pro­gram
for mass commun­ications
majors: In
summer, 1975, Drake
wrote the State Labor
Relations Board to in­quire
how to legalize the
program. He was told
by the personnel direc­tor
of Auburn he may be
causing trouble for
Auburn because some
internships at that time
were not legal.
Drake said he then got
the impression the direc­tor
was concerned the
state would investigate
Auburn.
But by fall, 1975, the
program was legalized.
Drake said, "I think
this is a reason I
stepped on someone's
toes inadvertantly."
Bradley declined to
comment on Drake's
remarks.
Drake said he loves
teaching, especially of
students who want to
learn. But he said, "In
my opinion, I would say
I had very few radio
and television students
who wanted to learn."
Drake also said he
would have enjoyed be­ing
faculty advisor to "a
more serious broadcast
situation." He said,
"There are a few
serious students who im­proved,
or attempted to
improve, WEGL. Too
many students do not
take that work too
seriously because they
have narrow prospec-tives."
He said, "I'm sorry
that my associations
here have not been more
successful with students
and with the faculty. I
believe very strongly
about the place of radio
and TV in a contempo­rary
society. It's too
bad Auburn can't match
what's going on in the
outside world with their
radio and television cur­riculum."

Q. Is soft-frozen yogurt just a dessert? A.
No. In many cities, it has become a favorite
lunch. For lunch, it's usually eaten with
fruit, melon, nuts, granola, dates, etc. Q.
Can I stay trim and still eat yogurt? A.
Goodness, Yes! Frozen yogurt curbs the

Council requests funds
rnoiograpny: MIR* LOzar
By Becki Thomas
Assistant News Editor
The Auburn City Coun­cil
met Friday night to
discuss priorities in its
use of third year Com­munity
Development
funds. The application
for continued assistance
from the federal govern­ment
was forwarded to
the Department of Hous­ing
and Urban Develop­ment
(HUD) Tuesday.
HUD has 76 days to
process and act on the
application.
The Council decided
its main concern. is the
overall improvement of
sidewalk conditions.
This encompasses the
need for sidewalks on
North Donahue Drive,
North Gay Street and
Loachapoka Road, the
correction of sidewalk
hazards and construc­tion
of ramps to facili­tate
wheelchair and el­derly
persons.
In its request for third
year funds, the Council
wants $219,637 to be
used to improve side­walks.
From that fig­ure,
$111,600 would go to
new sidewalk projects
and $108,137 to improve
existing sidewalks down­town.
Also in the application
was included requests
for $54,000 to the Auburn
Day Care Center, Bast
Alabama Mental Health
project and Project Up­lift
and $30,000 earmark­ed
for administration of

the funds if approved by
HUD. Unspecified local
funds would claim
$30,363 of the approved
block-grant monies.
Auburn has received
$334,000 each year for
the past two years under
the federal program.
During the 1976-77 fiscal
year, which runs from
August 1, 1976 to Sep­tember
30, 1977, $115,000
was allotted to place
utilities underground
and to eliminate side­walk
hazards, according
to Director of Planning
and Community Devel­opment
F. E. Scully.
He added that al­though
the projects have
not yet been started, the
money does not have to
be spent by September.
But the city must work
toward committing the
money to be in compli­ance
with federal regu­lations.
Auburn citizens realiz­ed
the need for down­town
improvements for
a long time, and the
destruction caused by
Hurricane Heloise in
1975 helped make them
more aware of the need,
Scully said.
In the future, Auburn
is planning more exten­sive
downtown renova­tion,
but the source for
financing this project is
still uncertain, Scully
said. The estimated
cost of the project will
be $450,000, based on the
plans drawn up by Har­mon
Engineering and an
architect from Biggers,
Neil and Clark in
Columbus, Ga.
He added that the
funds for the project will
not come from Commu­nity
Development funds.
The Community De­velopment
Act, authoriz­ed
by Congress in 1974,
makes it possible for
Auburn to receive funds
in the form of block
grants.
Scully said the pur­pose
of the act, "basic­ally
is to provide for
maintaining housing
stock for low and mod­erate
income persons,
and provides necessary
social services in areas
where Community De­velopment
funds are be­ing
used for other pro­jects."

Overpopulation
On June 30, four of the University Health Center's doctors left their
practice at Auburn, leaving only two physicians to care for over 7,000
students.
After investigation, we strongly feel this is an inadequate staff.
With our fall quarter enrollment to be well over 18,000 students, the
University will have to employ at least five more doctors to fill the void left
from the recent resignations. To date, despite concerted recruiting efforts,
the Health Center has no doctors lined up for fall quarter.
The "administration should utilize as much energy as possible to alleviate a
problem that could be of very serious proportions in the fall: Namely,
inadequate medical care for the student body that pays $15 per quarter per
student in fees to the Health Center.
But doctors are not the only problem. Twelve nurses employed at the
Health Center signed a letter that was sent to a member of the Board of
Trustees who is also the executive secretary to the governor. The charges of
mismanagement stated in the letter are serious accusations. We hope the
University is aware of the gravity of the situation.
As the University Health Committee investigates the matter concerning the
nurses, we wish them success in getting to the bottom of the problem and
coming up with progressive recommendations to present to Dr. Philpott.
Whatever the case may be, we hope they keep one group as their primary
concern: the students.
Be careful, be rational, use common sense.
But act with expediency to assure quality medical care in the fall. We
deserve it, we pay for it, we demand it.
Heal thy self
We find it hard to believe the administration's decision to actually limit
the number of freshmen coming to Auburn this fall.
Our disbelief does not come from disagreement, but rather the fact the
administration finally took some action on a matter that was long past
"serious consideration."
We realize there are plenty of parking spots, enough classrooms to go
around at 10 a.m., the lowest rental rates in the state and a rapidly decreasing
student population.
Dream on.
We simply feel this University should decide once and for all if it can
experience almost unlimited growth, or if an increase in the student popula­tion
would be detrimental to the University as a whole.
We have the largest on-campus enrollment of any institution in the state,
with number two slipping. There is no need for overkill.
The University argues it is a state institution and must consider all those in
the state who are qualified. The administration should also realize that an
overcrowded university would result in a probable lowering of academic levels
and achievement.
We have enough students. We do not need any more. While it has time,
the administration should make a serious effort to discern the effects of an
increased student population on the University and the area.
The present decision is weak and non-committal to the future, not to
mention rather belated, seeing that more students have already been accepted
for this year than last.,
Part of the attraction Auburn University has always held is that it is a major
institution with a pleasing campus, an easy-going way of life and a friendly
student body.
With 20-25,000 students running around, would Auburn be that sort of
campus?
We seriously doubt it.
We hope the administration does, too.
Crooked police
Auburn University students should be allowed to make out their own tests
and grade their own papers.
We feel that idea is quite absurd, almost as absurd as the United States
Congress policing themselves from the overtures of the Korean government.
The Plainsman strongly feels the executive should be allowed to set up an
independent investigatory board to scrutinize with more speed and efficiency
the purported tics between numerous members of Congress and Korean
businessman/gift-giver Tongsun Park.
Until this happens, Congress will continue in a repetoire of side-stepping,.
bush-beating and a new variation of the old Washington dance,"The Slug."
It would take a little guts from Congress to allow the executive to obtain an
investigatory body.
Let us hope for some gutsy politicians.
Dear John
Please take up where Buck left off; not where he began
Dear John:
As student body president you
have the potential of being one of
the most influential men on campus.
With the capabilities you have you
may go down as one of the best SGA
presidents Auburn has ever seen, or
one of the worst.
This is your first full quarter in
your newly acquired position. This is
a time of learning. A time to learn
how to deal with people—with stu­dents,
with faculty and with admini­strators.
You are a lucky man, John, be­cause
there are a number of issues,
which have arisen this quarter and
some that have lingered on from
quarters past. All are issues you have
a chance to take a stand on for the
students, your constituency.
The most recent crisis to arise on
campus has been the student health
center problems. There is a. .possi­bility
or our coming back in.Septem-ber
to find that our $15 health fee
has produced a total of two practicing
physicians and 20 disgruntled nurses,
hardly a medical staff capable of
handling the needs of over 18,000
students.
The University Senate Student
Health Committee of which you are a
member, is investigating charges by
nurses against Dr. Garth Jarvis,
health center director. You, John, for
the students' sake, must take a strong
active role in the investigation. You
cannot sit back and let the admini­stration
make all the decisions with­out
your voice being heard.
Others before you have taken the
attitude that they had to get close to
the administration so the administra­tors
would help us out because they
like us. It hasn't worked, John. We
still don't have a mum-purpose
building. We still don't have a Uni­versity-
sponsored pharmacy. The
everyday problems of the Auburn
student are still not being publicized
statewide. We still don't have a
practicing gynecologist.
You can take a passive presidential
role in the coming year and you will
leave the University much the same
way you found it. Or you can assert
your power and force your will—our
will—upon the administration.

But it's not going to be
You've got to let them know early
that you re not going to be a push­over.
Last year Buck started in a similar
manner to you. He learned a lot in
his administration; unfortunately he
learned too late. He learned that to
Set things done you've got to
emand that they be done. Auburn
administrators don't respond to
polite questions.
It took Buck 3V4 quarters to realize
his potential, and in one-half quarter
he could not possibly get done all the
things he wanted, no matter how
assertive he was.
But you can start where Buck left
off, not where he started, and carry
Auburn University a long way in a
year.
You have nothing to lose, John.
What have we gained so far? Past
presidents have played the nice-guy
and left the students nothing more
than they started with.
I don't believe you are like many
student-politicos on campus who try
to make all the contacts they can for
law school recommendations. You've
already got the credentials and the
contacts to get in.
The best thing you can do now is
be strong. Stand up to the admini­stration.
Stand up to the Trustees.
Stand up to whomever it takes to get
things done.
Of course, you know, John, The
Plainsman wants all the things you
want for Auburn University. But it
seems to be a tradition for the SGA
and The Plainsman to work for the
same goals but in opposite directions.
It doesn't have to be that way.
If we want to get things done
around here, we've got to get
together. We're ready if you are.
Nixon's spirit is alive and well at Auburn
Richard Nixon is alive and well on
the Auburn campus. His spirit floats
from building to building across the
Loveliest Village with hardly a sound.
Finding this spirit has been a
four-year course tor me. At first it
was hard. You had to understand
things such as paranoia, fear, secrecy
and the Watergate mentality. Figur­ing
out the whys is a graduate level
course.
Today, I do not know why things
are — just how they are.
From the lowest peon to the Good
Doctor himself, this university is
permeated with secrecy and fear.
There are numerous examples.
Policemen are afraid to talk to the
press because they fear their
superiors. Health Center employees
will not talk openly about the
numerous problems besetting the
infirmary out of fear of repercussions.
Letters sent confidentially soon find
their way into the warmth of a Xerox
machine and the comfortable enve­lopment
of a manila folder.
Local . reporters are given the
runaround by Campus Security,
resulting in rumors of dead bodies
floating around the campus. The
Board of Trustees asks our student
representative to leave the room
when discussing so-called "personnel
matters."
In short, the main criterion for
becoming a university official is the
ability to spew forth a torrid
onslaught of "no comments."

A former editor of The Plainsman,
who had worked with the media in

Hijacking, kidnappings and bomb­ings
by government terrorist groups
and such incidents as Idi Amin
Dada's execution of Ugandans and
Russia's poor treatment of people
such as Alexander Solzenhitsyn have
received coverage in the news for
some years now.
' Yet public debate continues in the
Unitea States, a country whose basis
is the human rights denied in the
cases given above, on President
Carter's proposal to cut off U.S.
economic and military aid to
countries who deny their citizens
human rights.
How much violence does it take to
convince U.S. citizens that such a
measure is needed to help prevent
such incidents?
In El Salvador now a right wing
terrorist group, the White Warriors
Union, has threatened to kill all the
Jesuit priests in El Salvador July 22 if
they do not leave the country by July
21. The Jesuits said they would not
leave their responsibilities or the
people they serve in El Salvador.
The Jesuits had been workingwith
El Salvador's government officials
since July, 1976 in a program to
redistribute land in the country more
equally.
El Salvador has the highest density
population of any Latin American
country, but less than one per cent of
the country's population controls the
forty per cent of the land which is
suitable for farming. The peasants
control only twenty five per cent of
the available farm land, and more
land is used to grow export products
than to grow products for local
consumption. •
Maureen
Drost
The government of El Salvador
supported the redistribution program
for awhile until it bowed to the
pressures of the powerful landowners,
making the program virtually ineffec­tive.
Then the Jesuits strongly criticized
El Salvador s government and the
landowners for their action.
And that's the situation in one
country. Similar conditions exist in
others.
The solution? President Outer's
proposal could not be passed by
Congress in time to nelp the
situation in El Salvador, but there are
steps which may be taken to
immediately help the problem, and
similar steps may be taken to
improve the human rights for citizens
of other countries. And President
Carter's proposal could be a
long-range help to citizens of other
ccuntries.
1. Urge and support your local
news media to get as much
information as possible on the
situation into circulation.
2. Telegram the Embassy of El
Salvador at 2308 California St., NW,
Washington, D.C. 20008 protesting
the actions of the White Warriors
Union and asking the Embassy to
intercede to protect the killing of the
Jesuits.
3.Telegram your United States
Senators and Representatives to
withhold economic and military aid
to El Salvador and to protest against
the violence in El Salvador, especially
the public threat to kill Jesuits.
4. Telegram the U.S. State
Department advising him to appoint
an ambassador to El Salvador unless
the human rights situation there
improves and protest El Salvador's
violence.
The point is that U.S. citizens
should consider seriously Carter's
proposal on human rights. To be
sure, it has its political implications,
too, particularly with regard to such
powerful countries as Russia.
But the choice is there to be made.
Are we going to stand idly by while
other countries violate basic citizens'
rights we claim to uphold or are we
going to stand behind the rights of
citizens of other countries?
President Carter said it best in
March, 1977 when he said, "The
search for peace and justice also
means respect for human dignity...
The basic thrust of human affairs
points toward a more universal
demand for fundamental human
rights. The United States has a
historical birthright to be associated
with this process. We in the United
States accept this responsibility in the
fullest and the most constructive
sense."
concerning the release of information
on the Auburn campus. Some of the
most important decisions in the
world are made daily in Washington.
Some of the most important
decisions in the world are never made
in Auburn.
Being a state institution, Auburn
has a greater responsibility than
instruction, research and extension. It
has the responsibility to the people of
Alabama to be open ana candid
about its policies and exactly what
goes on at the University.
Dozens of incidents would have
been passed off as trifles if the
administration had a policy openness and cooperation.
As it is, half-truths, cover-ups, and
secrecy result in the valid question of,
"If tney do not have anything to
hide, why the blindfold?"
Those of us who have completed
the course on finding the Spirit of
Presidents Past know one thing: any
change will be a long time coming.
The hot air in Samford Hall is
piped across Thach Avenue to turn
the turbines of the Great University
Relations Machine. Although old and
cranky on both sides of the street, the
machine continues to turn out a
steady flow of manicured statements
reflecting the proper "image" of
This Wonderful Institution.
I must admit, though most of the
hot air comes from stately Samford,
they do receive a fair amount of air
from their subsidiary stations along
the way such as the Drake Relay and
the Blue Light Special.
Sometimes these smaller stations
cause structural damage to the actual
' housing of the Machine. But that is
no problem for the Great Machine. It
simply builds a stone wall.
But face it, Auburn will never
change. The next administration will
reflect the same policies and act in
the same asinine manner.
So, let it be of no surprise to you
when the Board of Mental Giants of
Auburn University hires the next
president of this institution that most
reflects the past and present policies
of this administration, it will be
someone very familiar with the art of
deceit.
That spirit will finally find a,
permanent residence in the big
White House on the hill. '
Not a big change after all.
Letters Amin attends Auburn Trustee meeting

Won't study porno
Editor, The Plainsman:
This letter is in reply to Jim
Locke's editorial on the University of
West Florida entitled "Academic
Freedom Demanded."
I'd like to know what Mr. Locke's
definition of "academic freedom" is.
As students hoping to graduate with
a degree that stands for anything, our
majors and minors require that we
take certain courses. Some of the
ones I've had haven't been the most
enjoyable and it id had my
"druthers," I'd "druther" be taking
something else. But those required
courses have never infringed on my
moral beliefs so I've squared my
shoulders and plodded onward, as
the majority of Auburn students
have.
But I guarantee one thing—if any
school or curriculum told me I'd have
to take a course on such garbage as
pornography, I'd immediately put
up a fight and I'd like to think that
many other Auburn students would,
too.
I might understand why students
in psychology or sociology might
want to study those persons who read
(look at? view??) pornography be­cause,
to me, they are truly strange
phenomena. But why would anyone
need to study the actual pornography
itself??! Most people, if they are
half-way informed, know what
pornography is and I can't discern
one good thing that would come
from studying the actual material
itself. I would consider it a definite
infringement on my rights if I was
required to take it. I know probably
no one is required to take such a
course, either here or at UWF.
However, Mr. Locke's logic really
eludes me; he compares the necessity
of studying the details of porno­graphy
to the necessity of studying
the details of mathematics! I can see
the logic of getting involved, so to
speak, in mathematics, working
hundreds of problems, etc., in order
to fully understand the subject. But
Locke is suggesting this is the same
thing with pornography! I say hog-wash
; are we supposed to go out and
drink ourselves into a stupor every
night for a month in order to under­stand
alcoholism? Is it advisable that
we continually stuff our stomachs to
the point or obesity in order to
understand the feelings of the fat
person?! Hardly. Nothing in this
world could ever convince me that I
needed to view, much less study,
pornographic material. And if UWF
is receiving state funding, then I be­lieve
the Florida state legislature has
every right to question what is done
with the money, and thank goodness
they are in this case.
Mary Morgan, 3SSE
What a break. I had stumbled
upon one of the biggest stories of my
career. Yes, even bigger than Opclika
doubling its dog catching force, a
story which had won me a by-line,
but caused me to lose my last three
dates to the pound. This story was
really big. In fact it was Big Daddy
Amin.
Maybe I should start from the very
beginning (so I'm not above stealing
a line from Julie Andrews). I was on
my way to a political science class just
minding my own business, well
maybe the business of the halter clad
blonde in front of me, when I
tripped and fell into some large and
thorny bushes.
When I. awoke, I heard muffled
voices. For a minute I thought I was
in my political science class because I
couldn't really understand what was
being said, and felt a bit sleepy.
Finally I realized where I was. It
wasn't a political science class at all; I
had stumbled upon some sort of
secret meeting. I quickly deduced
that it was a secret meeting of the
Auburn Board of Trustees, an
assumption based on a sign which
said "Keep Out! Secret meeting of
the Board of Trustees in progress."
The trustees didn't appear to be
doing anything. They just sat
motionless in a circle. I was
dissappointed. Except for the loca­tion,
it looked just like any other
trustee meeting. Then I saw him.
He sat near the center of the circle
in blue and orange kilts, drinking
Southern Comfort and muttering
"Roll Eagle." Big Daddy Amin, the
dictator who had dropped out of
sight more than two weeks before
and caused the world to wonder, was
in Auburn, causing me to wonder.
Why would a despotic demogaugc
be in Auburn? It wasn't homecom­ing
yet. One of the trustees finally
spoke, answering my unvoiced
question.
"Listen, I know it would be
prestigious for Auburn to have a king
with a doctorate and that it would
put us one up on that other state
university. But do you really feel he
would fit in at a University like
Auburn? I mean, let's face it, they
wouldn't let him in my countn-club."
"Listen the guy will be great,"
said someone from the other end of
the circle. "Every year pressure is put
on Wallace to appoint a black trustee
so more blacks might choose to come
to Auburn. Sooner or later a
governor is going to buckle under
and he might just appoint a liberal
one.
"With Idi's record of civil rights, I
doubt more than thirty blacks would
dare come to Auburn. That would
only mean a slight increase in black
enrollment. Besides, Idi thinks the
same way we do on a lot of the major
issues facing Auburn, and even has
some good ideas to improve on some
of our policies.
"For instance he has a great idea
that would allow us to increase
student tuition by about $50 a
quarter."
"They'll never put up with it,"
one of the trustees muttered. "I
mean maybe if it were a matter of
principle, okay. We could probably
get away with it; we usually do. But
Rick
Harmon
you're talking about cold hard cash.
They'll never put up with it."
"Yes they will," the first trustee
replied. "Idi has a plan based on one
that worked pretty well in his own
country. We just hold the students
hostage in Haley Center until their
parents fork over the money."
"Hey that does sound like an idea
with some merit," said the second
trustee. "But do you really think the
students will let an institution they
pay to attend hold them against their
will?"
"They stood still for mandatory
attendance didn't they?" argued a
trustee. "I think its a good idea."
' 'That's not the only good idea he
has," said the first trustee. "He has
also come up with a solution to the
unequal housing problem. It's
brilliant. It uses the same strategy the
University initially followed with the
unequal visitation policies between
the female dorms and the male
dorm. There instead of giving the
girl's dorms the same visitation rights
that the males had, we decided to
take away the males rights so that it
would be equal with those of the
girls.
We can do the same thing with
housing. Instead of building more
Diamonds aren't always a girl's best friend
The couple in the Volkswagen
obviously had been arguing for a
long time when I pulled into the
next lane to wait for the light to
change.
"I don't care about the ring; you
can put it in a box or something and
maybe later it'll work out, but I'm
just not ready to be engaged!" the
girl said emphatically.
"I'm not going to put it away,"
her fiance hissed, glancing through
our open windows to where I sat
staring straight ahead, trying not
listen.
"Well, I don't care what you do
with it — I DO NOT WANT TO
GET MARRIED!" she exclaimed as I
turned up my radio. Finally the light
turned green, and they were still
quarreling as the Volkswagen whip­ped
around the corner.
Lately I wonder if the guy realized
how lucky he was to be consulted
about putting the ring in a box.
There are too many girls who simply
"forget" to put on their diamonds
before a party, or who slip them in
their purses upon spying an attractive
man. This usually occurs after the
novelty of flashing a ' 'piece of the
rock" has worn thin.
Engagement rings seem to symbo­lize
an insurance policy to many
people, prudent protection against a
future of being alone . . . andlonely.
But sometimes it appears that the
symbol has become more important
than the security it represents, as the
diamond is measured by weight and
cost.
The most appalling aspect occurs
when a girl says "I got a diamond
last year," as if the fiance were
incidental. These are the girls who
announce their engagement with
extended left hand and a memorized
list of the diamond's attributes.
In some cases, the ring symbolizes
the end of a long, hard search for a
husband, and most any male will
do. In these cases, I've often thought
that the guy should be wearing the
ring...through his nose.
Of course, women aren't alone in
misplacing the value of a diamond.
Engagement rings are often given as
"No Trespassing" signs, a tangible
means or tying down love and
loyalty. If a guy reels his fiancee can't
be trusted without a diamond as a
reminder of her commitment, then
perhaps he should consider purchas­ing
a more appropriate symbol, like a
piece of rope.
Then there are the men who insist,
on purchasing carats far beyond their
lettuce supply, as a matter of pride.
"Only the best for the girl I marry,"
they boast, leading me to wonder if
the girls they marry will get the best
of treatment from bill collectors and
loan officers.
Observations that the money could
help pay for any number of items
needed by the average newlywed
couple are useless. The introduction
of rational arguments into the
*Wwia&OT£*e»«uft>iH«iis
Carol
Williams
discussion of love and marriage tends
to reduce the romantic glow.
There are people who have made
and broken so many engagements,
they could resupply a jewelry store.
These are the folks I refer to as
following the "loose diamond
system;" they could keep the band
and just insert new stones.
These are also the folks who started
"going steady" and exchanging
identification bracelets and other
tokens of affection in junior high
school. The process led naturally to
class rings, fraternity pins, lavaliers
and promise rings, in varying order.
The "gimme" syndrome didn't
bother me after the seventh grade,
when I finally acquired a young
man's ID bracelet. At the time, this
was the symbol of "going together,"
and no one was anyone unless they
had given or received the item. After
months of campaigning, I gained the
treasured token, which lost its aura
within a few weeks of clanking it
during school, and hiding it
afterwards from parents wise enough
to discourage such practices.
It isn't fair to imply that all
engaged couples buy rings for the
shallow reasons described above.
There arc probably many couples
who are genuinely expressing their
love with the "diamonds are
forever" theme. For those couples, I
can give sincere congratulations and
best wishes.
But for couples like the one whose
argument I overheard, I hope that
until it can truly symbolize love and
trust, the ring will be kept in a box.
male dorms, we can just tear down
all but one of the female dorms. Not
only does that solve the unequal
housing, but also the parking
problem."
"Brilliant," echoed the circle of
trustees enmasse.
"Also," continued the first trustee
"since Idi is a doctor, he has
volunteered to work at the health
center, since at the moment we're
kind of short of help.''
"I didn't know he was a medical
doctor," said one trustee.
"He isn't," said the first trustee.
"That's why we would assign him to
the health center. With him
practicing medicine the students will
quit trying to bilk the University for
free medical care, and we won't have
to hire any new doctors."
"Why go to all that trouble,"
argued one of the trustees. "Why
not just cut back on the services? We
could limit the cases the doctors see
on Monday to fractured tibias and
maybe on Tuesday they could see
only jungle rot and gangrene cases."
"Well," said the first trustee "this
is the only thing Idi really disagrees
with the rest of us on. He wants to
expand the services of the health
center and give some sex related
services. It seems he feels strongly
about this, especially about stamping
out venereal disease."
"I thought so. He's a dyed in the
wool liberal,'' said one of the trustees
as the others muttered their
agreement.
"I'm sorry," said the first trustee
"but they're right, Idi. You're just
a little too liberal for us right now.
Maybe if you try again in about ten
years when things are a little
different..."
"War'Tide," yelled Amin angrily
going on to mutter something about
appealing the decision to the queen.
Still lying in the bushes, I shook
my head, realizing that no one would
believe that this had ever happened.
After all, there is so much at Auburn
that hasn't.
Kent State is reborn in 1977
Neil Young's words have come to
haunt us.
He was prophetic and right. How
can you run when you know?
The administration at Kent State
University seems to have forgotten —
and, as if in a nightmare, this
summer I hear the drumming.
Lauren
Steele
On May 4, 1970, Ohio National
Guardsmen fired upon a group of
anti-war demonstrators at the sleepy
midwestern school. Four young
persons fell dead. Several others were
seriously wounded.
Now, seven years later, Kent State
officials want to build a multi-billion
dollar gymnasium on the site.
Kent students reacted to the
proposal by peacefully camping out
on the hillside.
After a vigil of 61 days, Tin
Soldiers were called in, and the
demonstrators were removed.
Nixon was not involved at this
time, and four did not lay dead on
the ground, but Young's message in
his classic "Ohio" remains perfectly
clear.
The 1977 Kent State protestors
were finally on their own, and did
what should have been done long
ago. They asked that a building not
be erected on the sacred site. They
asked that America's conscience be
saved from desecration.
The grassy hillside at Kent State is
a vivia reminder of the fruits of
war-mongering hysteria. As it turns
out, the protestors on that hill in
1970 were right — the Vietnam W?-
was wrong — a fact we should take
note of and learn from.
When viewing the new Kent State
standoff we must think of the many
thousands of war memorials, monu­ments
and statues in this country. All
of these commemorate those who
died in a conflict, or just plain
glorifies the conflict.
The United States needs a
monument to those who died
fighting against wat — against the
hatred which forces men to kill one
another. This country needs a
reminder of the conscience of
America — of those innocent youths
who fell dead for their beliefs.
We have glorified violence and war
long enough. It is time for sanity. Let
us open a new chapter in American
history, one of introspection and
examination of the principles of
freedom on which the United States
was founded.
Let us set an example of
non-violence for future generations.
My suggestion: a peace memorial
on Blanket Hill. Not a gymnasium.
How can you run when you know?

Ideas for master plan requested
By Terry Tope
Plainsman Staff Writer
Students with ideas for
near and long-range im­provement
and develop­ment
of Auburn Univer­sity
should submit them
on a brief written form
to the SGA or Student
Affairs office by tomor­row
July 15, said SGA
President John Bush.
The ideas are being
requested by planning
specialists Harland-Bar-tholomew
and Associ­ates
of Atlanta, Georgia
who are currently work­ing
on the comprehen­sive
master plan for
Auburn.
Vice-President of
Administration Dr. Ben
T. Lanham said the
planning firm has a de­sire
for as much input
as possible on the pro­ject
from Auburn's stu­dents,
faculty, adminis­tration
and staff. The
desire for input stems
from the good results
received on traffic sur­veys
last quarter from
the firm's interviews of
campus personnel.
A contact group of
eight people with Lan­ham
as chairman has
been formed as the plan­ning
firm's link to
Auburn. All sugges­tions,
comments and
ideas will be summa­rized
by this group and
transmitted to the plan­ning
firm for review,
use in the
said Lan-study
and
master plan
ham.
Lanham said the ideas
will not influence master
plan priorities, but could
definitely affect
Auburn's. For example:
The planning firm may
feel Auburn needs a new
building and would
designate the best place
for it. If a large per­centage
of ideas request
a specific type of build­ing,
Auburn's adminis­tration
would consider
this when they decided
on what type building to
construct.
Some ideas already
received are a meteoro­logical
center, move­ment
of Building and
Grounds off-campus,
more space for dogs,
and buildings with con­sistently
good heating
and air conditioning.
Bush encourages stu­dents
to submit ideas
and said, "We have a
very good opportunity
for input."
The SGA office is in
332 Auburn Union and
the Student Affairs of­fice
is in 304 Mary
Martin Hall.

Something to cheer about Photoyphy: MJw l i l i ri
Approximately 2800 junior and senior high school
students from seven states will be participating in
four cheering clinic sessions throughout the sum-

for'18 alumnus
mer. Instruction is given by cheerleaders from the
National Cheerleading Association and the Inter­national
Cheerleading Foundation.
Auburn University's
new architecture build­ing,
now under construc­tion
on campus, has been
named in memory of the
late Ralph Dudley, an
alumnus of the class of
1918.
Dudley Hall will be
completed during the
summer and occupied by
the department of archi­tecture
in the School of
Architecture and Fine
Arts at the opening of fall
quarter, 1977. Formal
dedication for the build­ing
will be Oct. 1. Mrs.
Dudley and other mem­bers
of the family will be
special guests of the Uni­versity.
The late Mr. Dudley
was a resident of New
York City at the time of
his death in 1969. After
securing an engineering
degree from Auburn,
Dudley obtained a grad­uate
degree in architec­ture
from Columbia Uni­versity.
Most of his busi­ness
career was in sub-metering
electrical cur­rent
for the Trinity
Church properties in
New York and in a
variety of real estate in­vestments.
At his death in 1969,
Mr. Dudley established a
ten-year trust for the
benefit of Auburn Uni­versity
with a gift of just
over $900,000. The in­come
from the trust has
been coming to Auburn
University since his
death and the principal
of the trust will be re­ceived
by Auburn in 1979.
The University used
$300,000 of the income in
the construction of the
architecture building.
Dudley also estab­lished
the Dudley Foun­dation
for general chari­table
purposes. More
than $500,000 was placed
in the foundation. In

addition, he left two
trusts in which benefi­ciaries
receive the in­come
for their lifetime
and upon their deaths the
principal goes to the
foundation.
The Board of Directors
of the Foundation, under
the leadership of Mrs.
Ralph Dudley, his widow,
have voted to alter the
nature of the Foundation
from general purposes to
one exclusively for the
benefit of Auburn Uni­versity.
All legal arrangements
were completed to effect
this change May 1, 1977.
Mrs. Dudley serves as
president of the founda­tion,
President Harry M.
Philpott as vice president
and secretary and Rhett
Riley as treasurer. The
three officers also com­pose
the Board of Direc­tors
of the Dudley Foun­dation.
All Income from
the foundation, effective
immediately, will be allo­cated
to Auburn.
"Mr. Dudley was a
dedicated and loyal
alumnus of Auburn and
his family has also de­monstrated
this same
generosity," said Phil­pott.
It is expected that
over $2 million will be
received from the direct
bequest of Mr. Dudley
and from the decision to
devote the assets of the
Foundation to this insti­tution."

The head of the ac­counting
and finance de­partment
at Auburn
University L.A. Robin­son
has resigned the
post to become a full-time
teacher in the
school of business.
Robinson submitted
his official resignation
two weeks ago, although
he said, "I've thought
about it for over a
year."
"It's a happy resigna­tion,"
he said. "It has
been carefully thought
out. It's not a resigna­tion
in anger. I've
enjoyed my eight years
and expect to be around
Auburn a long time."
He said the resigna­tion
becomes effective
spring or summer quar­ter
of 1978, and it will
take the University from
six to eight months to
find a new department
head.
Robinson, who was the
first chairman of any
department in the school
of business, said, "I
have a philosophy we
should get younger de­partment
heads."
In addition to teaching
courses in accounting
theory and information
systems, Robinson said
he will be able to "do
some things I've never
done before. I'll finish

will set some re­cords
in terms of the
number of people at­tending
some of the con­ferences,
according to
Gene Bramlett, vice
president of the Exten­sion
Service.
Six hundred people at­tended
a meat con­ference
here in June,
and the largest profes­sional
meeting ever held
at Auburn is set for
August 8-12. For that
International Poultry
Science meeting 1,500
are registered, accord­ing
to Missy Kuykendall,
conference coordinator.
The Continuing Educa­tion
office, Bramlett
said, has registered 225
conferences with 22,000
participants for the '76-
'77 school year.
Conferences are just
one part of Continuing
Education. Short courses
and independent study
are the other two parts.
Short courses are taught
on such subjects as Chi­nese
cooking, beginning
guitar, yoga, prepared
childbirth and rapid
reading. The courses
usually meet at night,
and fees usually range
from $20-$30.
Bramlett said conti­nuing
education is a
growing area here and

Irwin Company has
expressed an interest in
publishing Robinson's
book, which he expects
to complete within a
year. His "Accounting
Information Systems"
book will be used as a
college text.
Robinson graduated
with a bachelor's degree
in 1948 and received a
master's degree in 1949,
both from Auburn Uni­versity.
He obtained a
doctorate in accounting
from Georgia State in
1965.
Robinson taught at
Mississippi State, Geor­gia
State, the University
of South Alabama and
Auburn. He was also
. employed by the Lock­heed
Company in Mari­etta,
Ga., where he was
on the team which de­signed

1959.
land-grant universities
in the United States,
emphasizing the need
for a special continuing
education center at Au­burn.
Auburn, Bramlett
said, can expect a level-ing-
off in regular full-time
degree-oriented
students but an increase
in other types of stu­dents.
These include
those needing or want­ing
Continuing Educa­tion
such as part-time
students and adults fin­ishing
degrees, earning
new degrees or taking
courses for special
needs such as programs
and training for profes­sional
re-certification
and re-licensure as well
as education for orga­nized
labor, the mili­tary,
engineers and the
minorities and disadvan­taged.
Referring to the need
for a special continuing
education center at Au­burn,
Bramlett said,
"The lack of facilities
for our continuing edu­cation
program is set­ting
an absolute limit on
what we can do. We
have reached the limit...
Practically every major
land-grant university in
the nation either has a
center or has one as a
high priority building.
We will be working hard
to get a center at Au­burn
during the next few
years."
Continuing Education
is directed through the
Extension Service which
also includes the Coop­erative
Extension Ser­vice,
technical assis­tance,
planning services
and applied research.
Extension, also known
as public service, is
"any type of service
provided to individuals
or groups outside the
traditional classroom
setting," Bramlett said.
Bramlett explained
that extension is one of
the three major func­tions
of a land-grant
school such as Auburn.
The other two are teach­ing
usually of 18-24 year
olds enrolled full time
and working on degrees,
and research, which has
become a major func­tion
since the technologi­cal
advances of the
'50*s, Bramlett said.

Auburn's first All-American golfer
Gardner quits British Open
ALL-AMERICAN BUDDY GARDNER
.Former Auburn golfer qualified but dropped out of British Open
By Jim Patton
Plainsman Sportswriter
On August" 15 Buddy Gardner
will return from the European
golf circuit to be honored at the
Ail-American Collegiate Golf
team Dinner at the Waldorf-Asto­ria
Hotel in New York City.
Gardner, Auburn's first All-
American golfer, was the
victim of some trying circum­stances
recently while in Europe.
To play in the British Open,
considered by golf experts one of
the most character-building and
prestigious tournaments any­where,
was Gardner's first test.
He and forty-nine other Ameri­cans,
along with scores of for­eigners,
were trying to qualify to
play in the Open despite weather
conditions better suited for an
indoor-track meet than a golf
game.
Established pro-golfer Doug
Sanders pulled out of the qualify­ing
because of the weather.
Gardner had preliminary
rounds of 73 and 71, shot the third
lowest score of all qualifiers, and
became one of only six Ameri­cans
from the International Tour
to. survive the course and the
weather, thus gaining a chance to
compete with Nicklaus, Palmer,
Trevino and the rest of the
world's greatest golfers for the
coveted Open championship.
In his first round Gardner shot
an 80-10 over par.
The disappointing score came
after one of the players in his
threesome lost a ball on the fifth
hole and caused a two-hour delay
in their round.
The disappointing score was
due in part to Gardner's feeling
the first effects of a virus which
caused him to pass out on the
seventeenth tee of his second
round the next day.
The score also was hampered
by the early jitters, magnified by
the fact that neither of the two
men he was playing with could
speak English. Talking to each
other is a method a lot of golfers
use to loosen themselves up and
get rid of "butterflies."
Whatever the reason for his
shakey start, after the first nine
holes of the tournament Gardner
played superbly. He covered the
next 25 holes one-over par; then
he passed out, cutting short a
remarkable comeback.
Despite losing fifteen pounds,
staying in far-from-luxurious liv­ing
quarters-a farm house-dur-ing
the Open and having to pay
$10 once just to use the phone, all
has not been sour for Gardner.
He met Jack Nicklaus and
Arnold Palmer. He said Hubert
Green had spent a lot of time
with him and that Ben Crenshaw
and wife had taken him out to
lunch.
Gardner, apparently recovered
from his health problem, is pre­sently
playing a tournament in
Switzerland. He says about his
trip, "I plan to stick it out, to
gain some experience, and to do
well."
His father, Frank W. Gardner,
has confidence in him "Buddy is
a better golfer than the 80 he shot
in the Open. He'll do better."
His college coach, Anthony
Dragoin, says "Gardner is the
best golfer in Auburn's history;
his love of the game and his
competitive spirit are his main
assets."
"More hard work and more
experience is all Buddy needs to
become a successful touring pro­fessional;
he has all the shots and
he has really matured this year,"
according to Dragoin.
Hordges leaves Auburn
The Auburn Plainsman
Games People Play
Thursday, July 14, 1977 page 8
By Pat O'Connor
Plainsman Sports Editor
After being named Player of
the Year in Alabama in 1974-75 at
Lee High School and spending
two years on the Auburn Univer­sity
team, Cedrick Hordges is
taking his basketball fortunes to
the University of South Carolina.
The 6-8, 220 pound sophomore
will have two more years of
eligibility after he sits out one
season at South Carolina.
A source close to the Auburn
basketball team said Hordges had
told Coach Bob Davis he wanted
to transfer to South Carolina at
the beginning of summer quarter,
but Davis had tried to talk him
out of it.
A South Carolina source indi­cated
that Hordges had initiated
talks with Coach Frank McGuire
of the Gamecocks. McGuire told
him he would have to be released
from his Auburn scholarship, the
source said. NCAA regulations
Federal funding could track down crime
The Junior Olympic meet held at
the Wilbur Hutsell Track last
Friday and Saturday was more
than a bunch of kids competing in
various track and field events. It
was a major crime prevention
project.
Over 1200 boys and girls partici­pated
in a well-run, goal-oriented
activity which kept them off the
streets and out of trouble by filling'
their free time in a supervised
manner.
Several of the young athletes
present at the meet were from
families who could not have
afforded to send them to any track
meet outside of their hometowns.
Their track clubs and sponsors
provided the money which enabled
them to attend the meet.
Richmond Brown, of the Mobile
Recreation Department said
the city of Mobile had allotted
$16,000 for youth track in their city
— to prevent crime.
The rationale was that if the kids
could be put in a useful goal-oriented
activity with supervision,
money that otherwise would have
had to have been spent on court
trials and rehabilitation could be
used in a constructive, preventa­tive
manner. Other cities should
realize this fact and put any
money that they have available
into youth programs. I think a
Pat
O'Connor
federal program to fund youth
track is in order. The training
program involved would take up
time otherwise left empty and an
atmosphere of good supervision in
a directed manner would better
prepare youth for an acceptable
place in society.
The federal system pours mil­lions
of dollars into the prison and
reform system. Why not spend
that money — or some of it — on
youth — preventing potential
lawbreakers from committing
crimes and cutting down on the
amount of reform required.
Any kid who will snatch a purse
or rob a store can probably run
fairly well or he would not be
brave enough to attempt the
crime.
Parents must realize those who
can afford to send their kids to
such athletic events will probably
have to pay the expenses, however
it is for their benefit as well as for
the benefit of poorer children to
use government money to facili­tate
these athletic programs. The
prevention of crime, in the long
run, is much less expensive than
the repair of its effects and the
punishment or reform of its
offenders.
-Bye Cedrick
Many Auburn fans were upset
upon learning that Cedrick
Hordges had decided to transfer
from Auburn to the University of
South Carolina. They shouldn't
have been.
Hordges, the much heralded Lee
High School forward, was called
by some the best high school
basketball player in Alabama in
1975.
After choosing Auburn over
many other colleges including
South Carolina, he never develop­ed
into the player that he was
expected to be. Aside from a
couple of bright spots his fresh­man
year, Hordges has not
provided Auburn with any of his
potentially good basketball play.
Coach Bob Davis is not at fault.
Neither is anyone else, including
Hordges himself. Davis surely
would not be the one to hold any of
his players back. He, more than
anyone, would like to see them
produce a winning team.
Auburn can get along fine
without Hordges and will probably
be better off because of his
departure. It is better for him to
leave than to stay, become
frustrated and plant seeds of
dissent.
I hope Hordges will become the
basketball player that he has been
expected to be at South Carolina.
He must sit out a year and can
think and possibly mature.
Auburn has two excellent fresh-,
man prospects in Bobby Cattage
and Earl Banks to fill Hordges
some-time position of center but
Auburn fans should be slow to
expect greatness from these play­ers,
after witnessing the disap-ponting
career of Cedrick
Hordges, until the two actually
produce as War Eagles.
In my opinion Hordges's prob­lem
at Auburn was psychological.
He was not ready for the pressure
of college ball when he arrived and
It grew to become a personal belief
that he could not play well for
Auburn; he became afraid to put
out. This is something neither he
nor Coach Davis wanted, and
neither could remedy. The switch
to South Carolina may be the
psychological stimulus — a new
start — that Hordges needs.
prevent a coach from making
contact with a player who is
under scholarship at another
school.
As a freshman at Auburn,
Hordges started in eight games
and played In 25, averaging 4.9
points and 3.2 rebounds per
game.
Hordges began last season as
the starting War Eagle center,
but lost his starting job to Myles
Patrick during the year. He
averaged 5.9 points and 4.7 re­bounds
per game as Auburn
endured a 13-13 season.
In his first varsity start as an
Auburn freshman, Hordges
scored 15 points and grabbed nine
rebounds against LSU. Against
Kentucky that same year, he
scored 14 points and had seven
rebounds in less than 19 minutes
of play.
As a senior at Lee High in
Montgomery, he averaged 24
points and 14 rebounds per game
as his team had a 29-1 record.
Hordges's father said from
Montgomery Monday, "He is pre­sently
in South Carolina."
Auburn has two freshman pros­pects
for the center position for
1977-78 in Bobby Cattage and
Earl Banks.

JUNIOR OLYMPICS MEET HELD AT WILBUR HUTSELL TRACK
.Kids from five states competed in various events Friday and Saturday
Photography: Mlko Sailors
By Pat O'Connor
Sports Editor
Fifteen national and 38 regional
records were set during the
Region HI Junior Olympics
Track and Field Championships
held Friday and Saturday at
Auburn's Wilbur Hutsell Track.
The Amateur Athletic Union
(AAU) event, sponsored by Sears
nationally and the Auburn Uni­versity
Athletic Department and
the Auburn-Opellka Running
Track Association (AORTA) lo­cally,
brought more than 1,200
boys and girls from five states to
Auburn for the meet, according
to Jerry Smith, meet director.
Five age divisions were used,
ranging from the bantam division
for 9 and under to the senior
division for 16 and 17 year olds.
If one of the young athlete's
birthday came after December
31, he could compete in the age
group he was in before the
birthday, so there were some 18
year olds competing.
The top two finishers in each
event of the intermediate (14-15)
and senior divisions, which were
run together, qualified to go to
Lincoln, Neb., for the National
Championships to be televised by
NBC on August 12-14.
Jane Puckett, Region III AAU
representative, said winners from
13 other regions from all over the
U.S. would be at Lincoln for the
Nationals, also. Region III in­cludes
Alabama, Georgia, Ten­nessee,
North Carolina, South
Carolina and Northwest Florida.
Thirteen-year-old Fred Carley,
Jr., of Niceville, Fla., broke the
national junior division mile run
record with a 4:32.8, almost six
seconds bettor than the old mark.
Carley also broke the regional 880
yard run mark with a time of
2:03.9.
His sister, Candy, set a national
record in the 880 yard racewalk
In the midget division. The two
are the son and daughter of Fred
Carley Sr., the first man to ever
receive a full track scholarship
from Auburn University.
Eighteen-year-old Mike Farris
of Winchester, Term., broke the
regional senior division 100-yard
dash record of 9.6, held previous­ly
by Harvey Glance, with a time
of 9.5.
Farris, sponsored by L.J. Mor­ris,
the postmaster in Winchester,
said, "There is no track team or
even a track in our area."
Farris said he practices on the
local football field or just runs
along roads there. He said he
has had no coaching at all.
The team winner in the midget
and bantam divisions was the
Junior Striders of Raleigh, N.C.
and in the junior and senior
divisions was the Memphis Shel­by
Track Foundation of Memphis,
Tenn.
The officials for the two-day
event were all volunteers, accord­ing
to Smith. He said, "The meet
couldn't have been successful at
all if not for the great officials.
It was a good opportunity for top
track prospects to see Auburn,
also."
Smith is a former Auburn
assistant track coach and works
in the Alumni office. He also is
the president of AORTA.
The kids had to provide their
own transportation to the meet,
with track clubs, personal spon­sors
and parents taking care of
the expenses for most of them.

Arizona heads football schedule
By Gene Vandlver
Plainsman Sportswrlter
Editor's note: This is
the first in a series of
articles previewing
Auburn's 1977 football
opponents. Next week
the Plainsman will look
at Southern Mississippi
and Tennessee.
Auburn makes its bid
to recover from last
seasons's i-% football re­cord
with a home game
against Aiizorta on Sept.
10 at Jordan-Hare Sta­dium.
The Arizona Wildcats
return as basically the
same team which fin­ished
with a 5-6-0 record
last season, with one
major difference. Jim
Young, the miracle wor­ker
who led his charges
to a 31-13 record as
coach of the Wildcats,
and who brought them
to respectability in the
Western Athletic confer­ence,
is gone. He has
been replaced by Tony
Mason, formerly of Cin­cinnati.
Mason, known as a
molder of football
teams, has a lot to work
with at Arizona. The
team's eight top rushers
returned with quarter­back
Mark Lunsford,
who was injured mid­way
through the 1976
season.
Lunsford may be the
offensive key to any
success the Wildcats
gain. The senior com­pleted
70 of 132 passes
for 1,284 yards last sea­son
and rushed for a
9.73 yards-per-attempt
average, but he was
injured and didn't see as
much action as he might
have.
The Wildcat front off­ensive
line averages
about 240 pounds, with
each contestant having
playing time under his
belt. .Derriak Anderson,
last year's leading rush­er,
returns to lead the
offensive assault at tail­back.
But Mason is more of
a defensive coach, and
that is where he'll make
or break his first year.
Most of the defensive
line has seen action and
Mason can depend upon
backups for most of the
key positions.
The defensive position
that may prove difficult
to fill is the linebacking
spot vacated by Obra
Erby, who amassed 174
tackles last season.
The punting segment
of the game gives the
Wildcats one of the
strongest overall kicking
games in the nation.
Wid Knight, who aver­aged
more than 40 yards
per kick last year, re­turns
and is backed up
by Mark Lampson, who
boasts a 39.2 average.
Mason could field a
sound team if he can
avoid the injury plague
that struck Arizona last
year. The Wildcats lost
11 starters during the
course of the year and
12 others had injuries
serious enough to make
them miss at least one
game.

Summer quarter intra­murals
at Auburn Uni­versity
have been divid­ed
into three confer­ences,
according to
Susan Nunelly, Asst.
Director of Recreational
Services and Intramural
Sports.
Conference I has
men's basketball, soft-ball,
and volleyball
teams. Softball is divid­ed
into five leagues and
standings as of July 7
according to David Ber­nard,
Student Director
of Men's Intramurals,
show all league leaders
with a 2-0 record.
Leaders are Sigma
Alpha Epsilon for
League 1, Pi Kappa
Alpha for League 2,
Foghat for League 3, All
Stars for League 4 and
Tatum's Talliwackers
for League 5. Confer­ence
I basketball and
volleyball had no stand­ings
available.
A women's invitational
tennis tournament will
be held July 30 and 31
for Conference II, and a
women's volleyball tour­nament
will possibly be
held in the future
Nunelly said. Volley­ball
teams and single
and double tennis teams
should submit rosters on
the registration form be­low
to the Student Activ­ities
office by July 26.
Conference III began
last Monday and has
coed volleyball, softball
and bowling teams. No
standings were avail­able.
Conferences I and
III are closed for addi­tional
registration.
Nunelly says the intra­mural
department is
having a rough time this
summer due to mainte­nance
work being done
on the Student Activities
building which has
caused it to be closed.
Volleyball and basket­ball
teams are having to
share the Sports Arena.
Conference II was
originally to have
women's volleyball and
bowling teams. The
reason for the switch to
invitational tournaments
is to "promote interest
in intramurals for in­coming
freshmen who
are generally unaware
of activities available,"
said Nunelly.
I would like to enter
the Conference II Intramural
Women's Tennis Tournament.

Are Tubes used up?
HEIST IS MADE
...theater students present play about elderly fur thieves
The Tubes are bizarre.
They are also one of the
wittiest, most original
rock bands to come
along since the early
years of Frank Zappa
and the Mothers. Per­haps
that is why their
newest album NOW is
such a disappointment.
I hate putting down
the Tubes (no pun in­tended)
for their new
album is not bad, only
disappointing. If it had
been put out by most
bands I probably would
have been pleased with
the results. But the
Tubes are not like most
bands.
In fact, in the realm
of modern rock, they
are unique. How many
other bands can you
name that have posed
for both Playboy and
Playgirl magazine, have
sung a Bicentennial par­ody
so close to the mark
that it won them awards
for best country and
western vocalists (Proud
to be an American) and
that have written a lit­erate
disco song ("I
SUpped My Disco")?
Not many.
So more is the pity
when a group like the
tubes turns out a good
solid album rather than
an Inspired brilliant one.
Their new album is well
produced, listenable
rock, but lacks the bi­zarre
originality which
separated the Tubes
'Breath of Spring' comes in Summer
The Auburn University
theatre department's
summer workshop mem­bers
are into their
second week of "Breath
of Spring", a light
British comedy by play­wright
Peter Coke.
This is their first pro­duction
of the season
and director Ralph Mil­ler
has once more suc­ceeded
in giving the
Auburn audience an en­tertaining
evening.
The plot of the play
revolves around a group
of senior citizens who
start a fur racket to
ward off boredom. Al­though
their fingers are
in someone else's pie,
their hearts are in the
right places, because
they give their pilfered
earnings to charity.
The "gang" • are
boarders in the home of
a has-been socialite and
all the action takes
place in her British par­lor.
To add a touch
more of zaniness to the
plot, the gang tries to
conceal their actions
from the maid, who has
recently been released
from prison for the
same offense-fur steal­ing.
The production had its
high and low points with
scenes, as well as cast
members.
Friday night's show
opened with a dragging
tempo that was unavoid­ably
noticeable. Once
characters started inter­acting
with one another,
things improved.
The real life-saver of
the production was the
superb acting of Jeannie
Lowther, who gave an
excellent character por­trayal
of Miss Nanette
Parry, the rather buxom
voice teacher. Her
voice intonations, elder­ly
mannerisms, and de­lightful
comic bits were
tasteful and entertain­ing.
Almost stealing the
show at times was Jan
Infante, 03TH, who play­ed
the paranoid, bundle
of nerves that was
Hattie Hatfield. Infante
had the audience where
she wanted them from
the beginning, she
jumped into her perfor­mance
with such a high
degree of intensity that
she had no where to go
from there with her
character. If she had
had one more ounce of
unleashed panic and
frenzy in her perfor­mance
she would have
lost her appeal entirely.
Her mannerisms were
excellent but one won­ders
how a character
her age has the agility
to run across stage with
such zest. She had the
appearance of a 70-year-old
woman with the
track ability of a female
Harvey Glance.
Jeffrey Turek, 03VA,
gave a good perfor­mance
as Brigadier
Albert Rayne. He play­ed
off his cast members
well and had good con­trol
of his character.
Cindy Nicholson,
03TH, as Alice, Lady
Miller, was a delightful
red-haired, 65-year-old,
husband seeker. She
was a convincing char­acter,
jealousy and all.
She was smooth on
stage and most ap­pealing
during the scene
where the group pre­tends
to act older than
they are in order to fool
the police.
The has-been socialite,
Dame Beatrice Appleby,
was played by Evelyne
Weeks, 02SEH. She
gave a good perfor­mance,
although at
times her character was
weak.
The ex-fur-thief-maid,
Lilly Thompson, was
played by Beverly
Davis, 04RSM. Unfortu­nately
her rookie perfor­mance
was all too ob­vious.
Her character
needed more strength
and a good bit more
development.
"Breath of Spring"
had a few minor flaws
but the overall produc­tion
was good. For
those who haven't seen
it yet, a "Breath of
Spring" in the middle of
the summer could be
highly refreshing.
-Sue Ann Henderson
Henderson is a frequent
drama critic for the
Plainsman
from dozens of other
competent rock bands.
The first side of the
album contains only one
song which captures the
mood of the Tubes'
other albums, "Smoke."
The lyrics, voicing the
thoughts of a man sit­ting
in a singles bar, are
confused and lack the
wit that saved any of
their past songs.
Probably the best song
on the side is "Golden
Boy," which is about the
death of a blues player.
The song swiftly denies
any connection between
its hero and that of
Clifford Odet's fight dra­ma
by saying the songs
"hero couldn't fight, he
couldn't even get a sun
tan. But when that pret­ty
boy played the blues I
believed him."
The strength of the
album is contained on
its flip side with songs
like "Cathy's Clone,"
"Pound of Flesh," and
"You're No Fun."
The side opens with an
instrumental written by
Mingo Lewis who was
formerly a member of
both Santana and Chic
Corea and Return to
Forever. The cut leans
heavily on keyboard and
percussion and it works.
"Cathy's Clone" is
probably the best and
certainly the most origi­nal
track on the album.
Using the eerie wailing
of a saxaphone, some
interesting keyboard and
a near perfect drone
vocal by female mem­ber
Re Styles, the band
describes the feelings of
a clone in an almost
Virginia Wolfe fashion.
The song is just per­verse
enough to work.
"Yes I reproduce my­self,
all on my own,"
sings Styles. "Let me
introduce myself, I'm
not Cathy, I'm Cathy's
clone. It grows on you.
(pun intended)
The group's tongue in
cheek humor which
made songs like "Ma­dam
I'm Adam" almost
instant party classics,
are lacking on NOW.

comes to the Tubes pre-

vlous satire is "Pound of
Flesh," which luckily
enough is not about Shy-lock,
but about a 90
pound weakling pleading
for a girl to accept him
over more muscular
competition.
With lyrics like "He

Keyboard player /au­thor
Vince Welnick as
an "out of love song,"
the tune tells an egotis­tical
female that the
relationship is over in no
uncertain terms, repeat­ing
the chorus of
"you're no fun."
If you're the type who
goes to an ice cream
parlor with 91 flavors
and orders vanilla, or
the type who thinks
John Denver's songs are
bold and innovative,
avoid this album. You'll
hate it.
On the other hand, if
you like David Bowie
before he went straight
and try the weird look­ing
sauces in oriental
restaurants, you may
have found your group.
The album shows off
the Tubes musicianship,
which is considerable.
Their jazzy yet quiet
rock is a pleasure to
listen to.
Still one more album
like NOW and Tubes will
drop from favorite bi­zarre
genius stand down
to that of pleasurable
competent rock band,
and the racks are filled
with those.

Japanese Macbeth
is free to
The first of two sum­mer
offerings by the Au­burn
Film Society will be
shown at Peet Theatre on
Tuesday, July 19 at 8
p.m. and is free to the
public.
The film is "Throne of
Blood" (1957), an out­standing
work by one of
Japan's great directors,
Akira Kurosawa, whose
cinema masterpiece is
generally considered to
be "Rashomon" (1950), a
classic study of how four
different people perceive
the truth.
Known for his incisive
portrayals of post-war
Japan, the now sixty-seven
year old Kurosawa
is also a master of the
"jidai," or period pic­ture,
which he has given
new life in "Throne of
Blood," and adaptation
of Shakespeare's "Mac­beth."
In the film, Macbeth
becomes a warrior in
medieval Japan, though
Shakespeare's play is
followed fairly closely in
events. Kurosawa said
public
that he saw in the play
"a contemporary issue—
a parallel between
medieval Scotland and
medieval Japan which il­luminated
contemporary
society..."
The setting, however,
is stark and distinctly
Japanese. Particularly
fond of the Japanese Noh
drama, Kurosawa uses
several of its conven­tions—
a chorus and a
reliance on symbolism.
General Washizu in the
film is based on Mac­beth,
and, like him, kills
for power.
Those who don't like
their movies all that
serious, can take comfort
in the fact that a review­er
for "The New York
Times" called the film
"a wild horse opera set
in medieval Japan," and
come anyway. Great dir­ectors
like Kurosawa of­fer
a little something for
everybody.

Auburn singing group delivers religious message
Tara turns tunes Photography: Bobby Lindsay
Singing group Tara played to a small audience Monday night for the second
street dance of the quarter. The group, geared primarily for the top 40 sound,
featured female vocalist Ann Beaman.
By Maureen Drost
Associate Editor
Many people today
play music because they
want to communicate
messages to their au­diences.
John Denver,
for example, tells in
"Windsong" the feelings
he had while on board
Jacques Cousteau's Ca­lypso.
In his songs from
the movie soundtrack
for "Jonathan Living­ston
Seagull," Neil Dia­mond
describes what it
means to be an indivi­dual
and to be free.
Sonrise, a group of six
Auburn University stu­dents
who performed on
the Union Patio last
night, have a different
message to comrnuni-cate-
the gospel of Jesus
Christ.
One member of the
group, John Conner,
4BSC, described the
group, known as Son-
Tough gumshoe sticks crooks
on Social Center lawn tonight
"Farewell My Love­ly,"
a film starring Ro­bert
Mitchum, will be
presented by the UPC,
tonight at 8.: 30 on the
Social Center lawn.
In case of rain the film
will be shown in Langdon
Hall.
"Farewell My Lovely"
Is a remake of "Murder
My Sweet," a 1945 movie
taken from a Raymond
Chandler detective novel.
Robert Mitchum, at­tired
in his usual attitude
af contempt and a two-inches-
too-short trench
coat, portrays the roug-ish
detective, Phillip
Marlow. Charlotte Ram-pling
was cast as the
femme fatal, in a vague
imitation of Lauren Ba-
:all.
The story centers
u-ound an ex-con, a
•ather burly type, and
lis search for his ex-girl
friend. Marlow's chase,
vhich begins in the gut-
;er and ends in the
nansions of Los Angeles'
Inest, leads him through
maze of multiple mur-lers,
blackmail, larceny
uid prostitution.
Chandler's novel,
which has been called his
finest, is a hard boiled
melodrama emphasizing
levels of corruption in the
city and futile resistance
against it.
Dick Richards, direc­tor
of "Farewell My
Lovely," and David
Goodman, screenwriter,
avoided the social com­ment
of Chandler's novel
and utilized only the
standard mystery plot.
"Farewell My Lovely"
may be a disapointment
to avid fans of the
Chandler detective no­vels,
as it loses some of
its dynamic force in the
transition from page to
screen. But for those who
enjoy a good 'ole detec­tive
flick, complete with
good guys, bad guys,
trench coats and foggy
nights, it will be a
pleasure.

'Sailor' docks in Langdon
for this week's UPC movie
"The Sailor Who Fell
From Grace With The
Sea," a chilling tale of
two lovers tangled in a
web of evil, is this weeks
UPC movie. The film will
be shown Friday, Satur­day,
and Sunday, at 8
p.m. in Langdon Hall.
The film stars Sarah
Miles as Anne, a young
widow of a small English
village near the sea and
Kris Kristofferson as
Jim, the American sailor
who becomes her lover.
Johnathan Kahn plays
Anne's son, Johnathan, a
maliciously perverted
youngster.
At first, Johnathan
idealizes Jim, seeing him
as a part of the great sea
itself. But Johnathan has
a nasty habit of peering
through the keyhole of
his mother's bedcham­ber,
and through this
medium he diligently
watches the development
of her affair with the
young seaman.
The boy, along with his
equally evil group of
friends who have already
perpetrated the sadistic
murder of the family pet,
determine that the sailor
must be eliminated.
"The Sailor Who Fell
From Grace With the
Sea," written and direct­ed
by Lewis John Car-lino,
borders on soft-core
pornography. The film,
which was adapted from
a novel by Yokio Mlsh-
Ima and is frighteningly
remnisent of "The Vil­lage
of the Damned," is
definitely not for child­ren.

rise, as a group of peo­ple,
with varied inte­rests,
whom God has
allowed to come toget­her
and share their faith
through song.
Sonrise members are
Davis, sound engineer;
Conner, keyboard, flute
and back-up vocals;
Dawn Rodgers, 2VA,
lead singer and acoustic
guitar; Steve Clifton,
4BSC, drums and back­up
vocals; Marrell Mc-
Neal, 4PL, lead guitar;
and Mark Jacobs, 2HA,
lead singer and bass
guitar.
According to another
member of the group,
Leah Davis, 4GSC, the
name Sonrise was cho­sen
because it empha­sizes
that Christ lives
today, a message the
group is trying to em­phasize
with its songs.
With a repetoire of
their own music, written
by Rodgers and Jacobs
and arranged by Con­ner,
and that of other
Christian singers such
as Pat Terry, Barry
McGuire and the group
Love Song, Sonrise has
performed recently at
Hilton Head, South Caro­lina,
the University of
Montevallo, Rat Riley's
Bible Study, the Opelika
Arts Festival and var­ious
churches in Alaba­ma.
The group plans to
sing at the Alabama
State Baptist music con­vention
July 18.in Shoe-co
Springs, Alabama
and in Huntsville July
29. Sonrise is non-profit,
and its tours are usually
sponsored by Christian
groups.
Prayer at the begin­nings
of Sonrise concerts
has special meaning, ac­cording
to Clifton, be­cause
he said he could
feel the Holy Spirit at
prayer time and also by
the end of the concert
moving through the au­dience.
Jacobs said, "It's a
good feeling to know He
(God) can use me in
Sonrise. He puts a song
in my heart."
Several members said
they felt especially
thankful to be in such a
group as Sonrise. Davis
spoke of the group as a
family of brothers and
sisters in Christ. McNeal
said the group has been
a "real encouragement
when there are troubles
because of the strength
of the members of the
group."
Davis quoted Psalms
37, "Delight yourself in
the Lord, and He will
give you the desires of
your heart," and then
said, "Jesus has given
me the desires of my
heart (working with mu­sic
in Sonrise) because I
delight in Him. And the
only way to delight in
Him is to know Jesus as
Lord."
Frisbees fly fast
at UPC tourney
The UPC is sponsoring
a frisbee tournament
July 21 to be held on the

throwing through mov­ing
targets, distance ac­curacy
throws and fris­bee
"skipping."
The contest is sched­uled
from 10:00 a.m.-
3:00 p.m., with a lunch
break from 11:30 a.m.-
12:30 p.m. Registration
for participants will be
from 9:00 a.m. -10:00
p.m. on the Social Cen­ter
lawn.
Contestants may enter
as many events as they
wish, but each event is

Each contestant is re­quired
to supply his own
frisbee. Frisbee weights
will be limited to the 119
gram and the 141 gram
class.
Trophies, frisbees and
special "hot summer
day prizes" (cold water­melons)
will be awarded
to event winners.
