Trustees 'hold the line9
By Lonnie Adamson
Assistant New Editor
The Auburn University Board of
Trustees voted to "hold the line,"
as Governor Fob James calls it,
and accept a conditional $53.9
million budget for the 1979-1980
fiscal year.
This figure is the same as was
alloted to Auburn by the state for
running the University last year.
The condition clause being that
other state supported institutions
of higher learning be restricted to
their current budgets also.
The trustees had previously
agreed to ask the state for a $78
million budget for the upcoming
year, but James announced plans
to cut current higher education
funds by 10 percent.
Leaving the budget at $53.9
million could lead to some dismis­sals
and "freezing" vacant posi­tions.
Dr. Taylor Littleton, vice
president for Academic Affairs
said Thursday the possibility for
dismissals always exists when a
.budget is being reduced.

If a prize was given for the most
original campaign violation, it
would probably go to SGA presi­dential
candidate Dave Harris.
According to Scott Gribbin,
director of elections, the unprece­dented
violation came about when
someone connected with the Harris
campaign tapped into a university
computer in the L-Building so that
when turned on it would print out
"Dave Harris for SGA president."
Gribbin said that this had never
been a problem before, "probably
because nobody thought of it."
Harris was told to have all
"media", including large signs,
posters and advertising on store­front
windows down by midnight
Monday, he said.
"There were a few allowances
here and there about t-shirts
because it's hard to get in touch
with everybody," Gribbin said,
"but everybody did a good job in
getting it down."

istrative clerical and other posi­tions—
and several faculty posi­tions
could be affected. Littleton
stressed, that many of the positions
will be affected by being frozen
while vacant. Rhett Riley, business
manager and treasurer, said
Thursday the money saved from
the vacant positions will shifted to
other areas of the University.
General operating costs and
traveling expenses for each school
as well as utilities will need to be
curtailed as much as possible/
Riley said.
Physical Plant has estimated
that utility costs may increase as
much as $1.1 million next year.
Philpott said money for such in­creases
will have to be taken form
other areas of the University since
there is no increase in the budget.
Riley said some cost-of-living
and merit raises could be granted
"if the budget allows."
Philpott said the cost of living
raises would go to the lower income
employees "which inflation hits the
hardest."
It would be hard to estimate the
effects of holding the line on the
budget, he said, but there are a few
areas in which it could be "deva­stating."
He explained that getting and
keeping quality employees

Auburn students will be voting In
the first SGA presidential runoff
election today. Thursday's election
failed to produce a leader with a 40
percent of the vote.
Dave Harris led the presidential
tallies with 1,325 votes, or 26
percent, while Ron Taylor finished
second with 1,159, 23 percent.
Said Harris, "I am pleased to be
in the runoff; it's an honor."
Taylor said he breathed " a sigh
of relief that I made the runoff. I
just hone I'll do as well tomorrow."
Sheri Paulk finished third in the
presidential with 982 votes, 19
percent of the vote. Donny Dye
finished next with 802, followed by
Jim Purcell with 785 and Tony
Wright with 87.
Voting in the runoff election
today will be from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Cindy Murphy, winner of the -
Miss Auburn race by 74 votes, said
the first emotion that ran through
her mind upon hearing the election
results was shock.
"I can't believe it. All the other
girls and I had so much fun doing
it. A lot of people thought we were
competitive but we were all in it
together. I would like to compli­ment
them on their campaigns.
When asked what she might like
to change about her new office
Murphy said, "I'd like to show
more responsibility. I'd like to
change the impression from being
a figurehead to an active part of
the SGA.
"When I Was out campaigning a
lot of people wondered what Miss
Auburn did. They thought all she
did was shake hands with the
governor. I'd like to show better
communications between the
students here and those in high
school who are or would be pros­pective
students.
In regard to Bessie, the write-in
cow candidate for the Miss Auburn
position, Murphy said, "Tell her I
hope I can do her job for her since
she really won."
Dan Roberts took vice presiden­tial
honors with 2,596 votes over
Karen Kroft's 2,321. Roberts will
take over as president of the
Student Senate, the position held by
Buddy Barfield this year.
In the SGA treasurer's race, Clay
Howell got the nod by fewer than
100 votes over Kathy Kraft. Howell
picked up 1,614 votes, while Kraft
finished second with 1,517. Allen
Stapleton finished a strong third
Claudia Harris won over Curt
LeVan in the race to Glomerata
editor. Harris garnered 2,428 votes
to LeVan's 2,273.

.Promises to do Bessie's job well.
James to combine schools?
By Julie Johnson
Plainsman Staff Writer
Auburn students in some curricu­la
may be transferring to the
University of Alabama and vice-versa
if Gov. Fob James pushes to
combine common schools at the
universities to reduce the cost and
expense of operating them both.
At a Huntsville Rotary club
meeting last week, James asked If
a school of engineering and a
school of business were necessary
at both Auburn and the University
of Alabama.
"Those were probably not good
choices to use as examples," said
James E. Foy, executive secretary
to the governor. "I don't think
James Is getting down to particu­lars."
But according to Dr. Robert J.
Lager, the governor's executive
assistant for education, the com­bining
of school programs to re­duce
costs Is a very real possibility.
"We are still In the planning
stages," said Lager. "But there
are certain questions that must be
asked. Can we afford these pro­grams
and how much of them do
we need?"
There Is too much duplication in
Alabama's schools said Lager. One
example he cited was that there
are 14 state school programs which
offer a superintendent of education
degree, but that there are only 127
such job positions In Alabama.
Foy said that in certain currlcu-lums,
it might be possible to
combine some schools, but "that
we would have to study the matter
very carefully. Strong schools
could be further strengthened if
combined with others," said Foy.
"James is saying that higher
education institutions have got to
start having more discipline," said
Jon Ham, the governor's press
secretary. On the basis of popula­tion,
Alabama has more institu­tions
of higher education than any
other state, he said.
According to him, there are 52
institutions above the high school
level in Alabama. These include
junior colleges, trade schools and
colleges and universities, some of
which are duplicate schools that
could be combined effectively said
Ham.
The governor's office and the
Alabama Commission of Higher
Education have no legal authority
to combine schools although they
can make recommendations.
While the State Board of Educa­tion
has such jurisdiction over
junior colleges and trade schools,
only the independent Board of
Trustees at Auburn and Alabama
could make the decisions, to com­bine
their programs.
Ham talked about the basic
education program in connection
with the combining of higher learn­ing
institutes, "The point is col­leges
will be hurt," he said.
"There is a problem right now,
but we've got to try and change it
or else it is a waste of everyone's
money," Ham said.
"The situation is very political,
and the governor is going to catch a
lot of heat," said Ham. "Eventual­ly
the colleges will be more full."
"The whole thing is a system and
we've got to start at the beginn­ing"
Hamm said. "James is the
one that's going to start it."

Schools' programs escape cutback of funding
By Kelly Kohler
Assistant News Editor
At Wednesday's Board of Trus­tees
meeting, Auburn escaped a 10
percent reduction in funding.
In a report prepared for the
trustees, the deans of each of
Auburn's nine schools cited areas
where a reduction would affect
them most. This report may have
influenced the board's decision not
to reduce the budget. The following
are excerpts from the report:
SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE
"If funds for salary increases
were not available, many of our
best faculty could be lost.
Instruction in general biology
would be cut back, causing 275 to
300 students to be turned away.
The program in Forestry which
is in much demand is to be
investigated for accreditation next
year. A reduction would threaten
this process.
Any reduction in the expenditure
of laboratory supplies would seri­ously
affect the quality of instruc­tion.
Reduction in the number of
sections offered in a service course
for pharmacy seniors would delay
graduation of these students by at
least one full quarter."
SCHOOL OF ARCHITURE AND
FINE ARTS
"In order to reduce enrollment,
admissions to the building science
program would have to be frozen.
Enrollment quotas would be es­tablished
in architecture, interior
design, and landscape architec­ture.
It would be necessary to consider
phasing out Auburn's program in
landscape architecture.
The graduate program in art
would be abandoned.
The accreditation status of the
only art program in Alabama (and
one of the few in the Southeast)
would be jeopardized."
SCHOOL OF ARTS AND
SCIENCES
"More so than in any other
school, funding reductions in Arts
and Sciences would affect students
throughout the University.
Loss of two of three faculty
members would seriously incapac­itate
the Auburn program in medi­cal
technology.
Reduce course offerings in fresh­man
chemistry (important for all
engineering and many biological
science majors) and organic
chemistry, essential for all pre-health
profession curricula.
Several courses vital to criminal
justice would be eliminated.
And hope of obtaining accredita­tion
for the program in social work
would probably be dashed.
Extramural funds, primarily
from federal sources, would be lost
In the amount of about $475,000 per
year. We would probably lose a
pending large (600,000) matching
permanent endowment from the
National Endowment for the Hu­manities.
The impact of such a
major program on the Unlveristy
(and its loss) would affect the
institution indefinitely.
Instructional quality would de­generate
as already overcrowded
classes are increased, presently
over-utilized faculty are forced to
take on additional responsibilities,
and low maintenance and insturc-tional
support funds are decreased
even further."
SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
"In the department of account­ing
and finance, reduction is fund­ing
for salaries would be particu­larly
harmful. This would prompt
Auburn's most productive faculty
members to look elsewhere. The
Public drinking arrests rise as
warm weather parches throats
loss of three faculty positions
would further reduce the number
of class sections offered by 27 per
year.
A reduction would impair the
effort to meet graduate program
accreditation. If graduate accredi­tation
standards are not met this
year undergraduate programs will
also lose accreditation.
SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
"Restrict to the point of harm,
travel for the purpose of super­vising
interns in the public schools.
Decreases in faculty will place in
serious jeopardy NCATE (National
Council for the Accreditation of
teacher Education) accreditation,
and State Department approval of
our teacher preparation pro­gram."
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
"Reductions In funding in che­mical
engineering would perhaps
force elimination of the strongest
undergraduate chemical engineer­ing
program in the state.
A nationally prominent program
in energy research would probably
be lost.
In civil engineering, the loss of at
least two faculty members will
likely result in withdrawal of ac­creditation.

Managing Editor
If you, like so many Auburn
students, are spending the warm
spring afternoons swigging beer or
sipping mint juleps outside your
home or apartment, you could be
arrested. Each year at this time
the incidence of public drinking,
and consequently arrests for that
offense, are on the rise.
According to police records,
there were no arrests for drinking
in public during February. There
were 10 in March.
The most important thing to
remember about drinking in pub­lic,
said Assistant Dean of Student
Affairs Al Sistrunk, is that "the
police are within their rights to
arrest anyone for drinking in pub­lic.
There is a city ordinance that
prohibits drinking in public."
The ordinance to which Sistrunk
referred states that no person shall
drink alcoholic beverages in any
public place except within the

Funding reduction could lead to
an inability to accommodate the
increasing number of pre-engi-neering
students.
SCHOOL OF HOME ECONOMICS
"Continued deferral of equip­ment
purchases would detract
from the preparation of graduates
who must enter industries which
are experiencing extensive techno­logical
advancement.
Lower funding would severely
restrict the Coordinated Dietetics
program, perhaps jeopardizing ac­creditation.
A scheduled review for accredi­tation
of the graduate program in
Marriage and Family Therapy
would be threatened."
SCHOOL OF PHARMACY
"Enrollment would be reduced
by 20-30 percent.
There is a serious possibility that
Auburn would lose full accredita­tion.
This would be a tragic blow to
graduates seeking licensure.

As Auburn Chief of Police Bar­ney
Harding puts it, "If (a patrol­man)
sees a person with a beer
walking down the street or in a
parking lot, there is no judgment to
it. The only judgment an officer
makes is whether to enforce the
law or not."
Harding emphasized, however,
that, "We don't have a campaign
or anything like that going. There
has been an increase of it lately, so
there have been more arrests."
Harding added that the Auburn
City Police usually do not Interpret
the law as strictly as they could,
particularly when it comes to lawn
parties and drinking outside apart­ment
complexes.
"I think the law just says drink­ing
in public. We could probably
get them for it if we wanted to, but
we don't normally fool with that,"
the chief said. "What we're mainly
interested in is where the drinking
occurs and the nuisance factor
involved."

Energy costs increase boiler system upkeep
By Dave White
Plainsman Staff Writer
An $18 million annual utility bill
for Auburn University in 10 years is
"not unrealistic," said Physical
Plant Director Paul Kearney re­cently.
"I don't know of anything that will
reduce energy costs in the next 10
years," said Kearney, noting that
Auburn's utility costs mushroomed
from about $400,00 in the mid-1960s
to $979,000 five years ago and $2.25
million last year.
Kearney expects a $3 million bill
this year and a $5.5 million tab in
four years at the present rate of
consumption for electricity, natural
gas, coal and heating oil.
A new central heating and cooling
plant servicing the central campus
would cut utility costs by 30 to 35
percent, said Kearney, who hopes to
present University President Harry
Philpott with a complete utility
study in three to four months.
Kearney said the 94 boilers on
campus, which are some 50 years
old, cost dearly in maintenance and
inefficiency, adding that "we've got
to look at ways to save that money.''
With Philpott's approval, Kear­ney
also hopes to present "the total
picture" to the Board of Trustees in
"at least six months," and offer
three alternative utility plants to
replace or repair the present sys­tem.
Repairing the present system
with new boilers and steam lines
and adding new buildings to the
present heating plant steam lines
would cost $12.3 million over 10
years, said Kearney.
Academic Honesty Committee
protects as well as penalizes
By Don Sproul
Plainsman Staff Writer
The next time you are thinking
about taking a peek at your neigh­bor's
paper during test time, you
should remember that if you're
caught, it may be recorded on your
permanent record.
And if your teacher doesn't think
a grade of an " F " for the course is
severe enough, you'll find yourself
in front of the Academic Honesty
Committee headed by professor
Ruth L. Brittin.
The Academic Honesty Commit­tee
is a joint student-faculty com-to
Dr. Taylor Littleton the commit­tee
meets six to 10 times a year on
an irregular basis.
Most cases are handled by the
teacher and the student, said Lit­tleton.
In those cases heard by the
committee, the committee makes a
recommendation to the president
as to how the student should be
penalized for his actions.
Four types of punishment that
can be recommended by the com­mittee
are: a grade of " F " in the
course, a grade of " F " with a
notation "assigned for dishonesty"
attached to the student's record,
probation, and suspension.
A student on probation may be
denied the privilege of participat­ing
in any intercollegiate or Uni­versity
event or contest.
He may also have to forfeit any
student office and may not be
allowed to participate in Univers­ity
extracurricular actities.
Plagarism and cheating are the
two major areas of offenses with
which the committee deals. Plag­arism,
by the definition of an
English Department handout is,
"the passing off or representation
of someone else's writing, ideas,
phrases, key words or phrases as
your own," and is the subject of a
good many of the cases.
"Doing away with the central
plant" and installing Individual
boilers for each campus building
would cost $14.8 million over 10
yeas, he said.
The central plant concept would
cost $13 to 14 million, or as much as
$20 million including additional
steam loops to married student
housing and other areas, he said.
Kearney said individual boilers
would "up recurring costs," while
repairing the present system and
not extending It "seems to be a
halfway measure."
Besides the 30 to 35 percent
savings in heating and cooling costs,
Kearney said a central plant would
save on maintenance and chemicals
required for steam lines.
Kearney said a central plant with
steam lines servicing the "whole
campus" would take about 10 years
to plan and construct and require
four to five times the capacity of the
present heating plant, which serv­ices
about a third of the campus.
Steam lines on campus, many
built more than 30 years ago, "are
shot," said Kearney. "We're keep­ing
our fingers crossed that one
doesn't go out completely."
"What am I going to do if this
campus doesn't have heat?," said
Kearney. " If we don't repair the
steam lines, you don't have heat."
Kearney's "number one priority"
is to "replace the steam line under
the Haley Center concourse" with a
line running from the heating plant
to Thach Avenue and down Mell
Street to Roosevelt Drive, past
Parker Hall.
That $1.7 million steam line would
heat Haley Center, the library,
Spidle Hall, Parker Hall, Allison
Lab and Saunders Hall, and replace
those individual heating systems
while saving at least $100,000 an­nually
In fuel and maintenance
costs.
The second phase of steam line
replacement and extension which
Kearney also presented to Philpott
would run new lines to Magnolia,
Bullard, Noble and Carey halls for
$600,000.
Other steam line plans would add
the agriculture buildings and the
south women's dorms.
Without new lines soon, Kearney
said, "I'd try to keep (the system)
together and just patch, patch,
patch."
"Nobody ever told (Philpott) that
this thing is in this condition," said
Kearney. He said Philpott was
"stunned" when Kearney gave him
the utility cost estimates earlier this
year.

Smart state
With his recent suggestions to cut higher
education budgets statewide, Gov. Fob James
has raised questions as to the relative values
of primary, secondary and higher education.
Should Alabama continue to play its strong
suit, higher education, by raising the amount
appropriated to the 14 colleges and universi­ties
in the state? Or should it cut higher
education spending, as James has suggested,
to bolster the slumping primary and second­ary
education systems?
According to James, there is too much
duplication of programs among schools of
higher education, and perhaps programs
from different schools could be combined to
save money. This suggestion, though hardly
pallatable, seems better than the earlier
suggestion to cut back on higher education
by 10 percent across the board.
But if program combination is necessary,
we would hope only less essential programs-such
as the 14 state school programs which
offer a superintendent of education degrees
for which there are 127 positions in the
state-would be combined.
Sure, some say, a 10 percent cutback
wouldn't hurt the colleges and universities
too much. After all, any large institution
should be able to cut
excess fat alone.
back 10 percent in
But a closer look shows us that a 10 percent
cutback would be devastating to Alabama
education. Essential programs and personnel
would have to be cut back so far it might take
years for the system to recover.
\
Alabama leads the nation in per capita
higher education institutions. Of this fact we
should be proud, not ashamed. We should­n't
cut back merely because we have more
than the rest.
No, we feel the seemingly immediate,
cure-all policy to put lower education on top
at the expense of our colleges and universities
is not the answer. Instead, the total education
might be increased through either cutting
back on other state programs or, if no other
solutions can be found, by increasing taxes.
If the priorities put education near the top
of the list, then rather than redistribution of
the education budget, others
make sacrifices.

news editor of The Plainsman, called from
Washington, D.C., that we began to see
something different about Bessie, the cow
being run for Miss Auburn. Lauren said he'd
just finished watching the local evening
news and had been stunned to see a brief
"news from Auburn, Alabama," segment
about Bessie's campaign.
The pet project of features editor Betsy
Butgereit, former Glomerata editor Mike
Sellers and their 59-person campaign staff
was putting Auburn on the map again.
Bessie turned into a campus-wide pasttime
as pro-bovine supportes carried the campaign
far beyond its intended limits. Phi Kappa
Tau was the first to pick up the ball, followed
by Block and Bridle, an agriculture organiza­tion,
who voted to block vote for Bessie.
Magnolia Dorm made a huge sign that
stretched across the building announcing
their support. Posters and handouts disap­peared
from bulletin boards rapidly. A wave
of pro-Bessie sentiment swept across campus,
and, seemingly, across the nation.
Reports came in from Indiana, Kansas
City, Washington, D.C. Birmingham, Mo­bile,
Huntsville, and Jacksonville, Fla. First
the callers asked if it was true, then they
asked who was voting for her. Rumors had
Bessie on national news. On Thursday her
illegitimate victory seemed assured as she
rolled 2385 write-in votes.
We're glad everybody took the campaign
in the fun spirit it was meant. And we hope
Cindy Murphy the Miss Auburn for 1979
won't bear a grudge against a prize milk cow
that's known by the number 18 out at the
Vet School.
One final interesting note. The Bessie for
Miss Auburn campaign staff had been selling
T-shirts with her slogan on them, hoping to
get some profit. They voted yesterday to give
the profit, already $150, to Auburn Universi­ty
in the name of the Auburn spirit to go
towards an academic scholarship to be
awarded on the basis of academic achieve­ment
alone.

The uninformed villagers never knew what
hit them, what was mysteriously killing their
friends, neighbors and family.
The government waited several days to tell
them, then evacuated the people living near
the area before all of them died from the
invisible radiation.
An accident occurred. It wasn't supposed to
happen. The government has never officially
acknowledged that it did happen.
The hundreds of dead, however, bore silent
testimony that a nuclear accident in the
southwest Soviet Union, near Chelyabinsk,
was all too real in 1958.
An explosion in a nuclear waste storage area
had hurtled radioactive material over about a
thousand square miles. The U.S. Central
Intelligence Agency found out about the
disaster only a few years ago.
The death count isn't known exactly.
The increased rates of cancer aren't known
either, and no one knows if human beings or
any other forms of life will be able to live
safely in the exposed area in the next few
thousand years or so.
What happened in the Soviet Union 20 years
ago almost happened, through slightly dif­ferent
circumstances, in southeast Pennsyl­vania
last week.
A nuclear power plant there was disabled
and almost destroyed when a pump and a few
valves failed to function while some techni­cians
made some very costly mistakes.
The water cooling the radioactive uranium
in the heart of the reactor almost boiled away
because of malfunctions and mistakes.
Dave
White
If that had happened, the uranium and other
metals would have melted and burned through
the reactor completely.
This meltdown, scientists presume, would
have sent plumes of radioactive steam into the
atmosphere, sentencing thousands to imme­diate
death, and tens of thousands to radiation
sickness and probably premature death by
cancer.
In a worst possible case, a core meltdown
could "'permanently contaminate thousands of
square miles of the United States," said the
Brookhaven safety report, sponsored by the
Atomic Energy Commission in the early 1970s.
The Commission, now called the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, debunked the report,
with its* dead and injured and contamination
and all, because in its view no reactor had ever
come close to a meltdown.
Until now. NRC officials at the Three Mile
Island nuclear plant last week said a meltdown
had indeed been possible, with the attendant
death and destruction.
Most people, indeed, most experts probably
never thought America might have to pay the
price of a meltdown to enjoy nuclear generated
electricity.
Already we've paid maybe $1 billion for each
of the 72 reactors now operational in America,
and 80 more are still planned for 1987.
After the initial investment, however, safe
nuclear power is very inexpensive compared to
coal and oil generated power.
Should we shut down all nuclear plants to
prevent a possible meltdown? Then we pay the
price in the wasted nuclear investment and
millions of additional barrels of imported oil a
year.
The loss of the Three Mile Island reactor is
costing utility users there an additional
$600,000 to $1 million per day, depending on
demand and the reports you believe.
Presuming a similar figure for the other 71
reactors, shutting them all down now would
cost anywhere from $16 to 26 billion a year, if
we could even buy the oil or coal to fuel other
power plants.
Safe coal and oil burning plants, however,
pollute far more than safe nuclear plants and
kill more people in mining and pollution-related
hazards.
Is there a safe nuclear plant, though? Now,
who can honestly say?
Can America afford losing its nuclear power
option? Perhaps not right now.
Can America afford killing and injuring tens
of thousands of people and abandoning
thousand square miles of heartland forever
because of a meltdown? No.
What will be our alternatives?
The growing concern over the safety of
nuclear energy raises questions as to what
alternatives we have to using it.
If all nuclear power plants in operation today
were shut down, blackouts would engulf the
country. In Alabama alone one-fifth of all
electrical energy produced comes from
nuclear sources. If we could gradually replace
nuclear energy with other sources, what would
those other sources be?
Coal is an obvious candidate. The United
States has approximately 200 years worth of
coal, if it is consumed at present levels.
Unfortunately, our thirst for energy doubles
every decade. So even coal will, run out much
sooner than expected.
Consider also that other countries want a
slice of the energy pie in ever increasing
numbers. What other sources are there?
Another obvious replacement is solar
energy. Once again, solar energy turns out to
be less than a savior. With present technology,
the sun's most efficient use is to heat water.
Solar cells, like those used on satellites, are
not economically feasible. They cost more to
make than they supply in energy.
A promising collection method for solar
power involves solar power satellites, which
could be built using present technology. When
the space shuttle becomes active, it could
begin construction of such a satellite.
This satellite would collect energy 24 hours a
Buddy
Davis
day, beaming the energy down in concentrated
microwaves to some isolated point.
Geothermal energy, using the earth's
supply of heat, will also become available in the
near future. Present use is made of hot springs
to provide steam to drive turbines which
produce steam to drive turbines which produce
electricity. Drilling vents to reach hot surfaces
could become quite common, if the need for
such energy exists.
Wind energies could be harnessed to
produce electricity at minimal cost. Unfortu­nately,
we cannot depend on wind currents to
provide usable quantities of air because they
fluctuate.
One of the most interesting energy sources
is nuclear fusion. In this complicated process, a
miniature sun is created. Harnessing such
energy will take at least another 20 years, if
not considerably more, so it will not be
available to replace nuclear fission, the present
method of harnessing the energies of the atom.
If we are to cancel our "nuclear energy I
program, at a cost in billions of dollars, we are I
going to have to phase them out gradually. We I
could replace nuclear energy with energy I
supplied from coal, but it would be foolish to I
think we can survive forever just using coal.
When the petroleum runs out, the country|
will be in grave danger. Our entire economy is
based on petroleum. Every time the price |
up, the stock market goes down, as does the
value of the dollar.
What is needed is a cheap, plentiful I
substitute for oil. Perhaps converting to|
alcohol, which can be derived from decay
plants, would solve some of our ener
problems. Petroleum is more valuable for
other uses, such as plastics and lubrication^
than it is for use as a fuel.
It's past time for the government to con
forth with a realistic energy policy. Res
must be funded on a hitherto-unheard scale!
Simply rationing gas is treating the symptoms J
not curing the disease.
Unless we begin large scale research
we're going to be ripped off by the Arabs unt
we're strangled by the prices they will T
asking. Perhaps then, America will waken
the fact that we need new sources of ener
and that we have to find them on our own.
Arabs certainly aren't going to help us.

Cross clarifies earlier comments
A-5 Friday, April IS, 1979
Residents want to stay
iditor, The Plainsman:
On the evening of April 9, the girls living on
:he fifth floor of Dorm K were informed that
hey would have to relocate either to another
loor or another dorm. The reason for this
wing that another sorority, formerly located
n the quad, will be occupying the fifth floor of
Dorm K beginning fall quarter, 1979.
As residents of the fifth floor we feel used
ind abused! Some of us have been living on
this floor for as long as three years.
We feel we are suffering from a gross
injustice as we were given no chance to vote on
whether or not we objected to giving up our
places of residence to a sorority. There is a
great chance that we will not be able to live in
Dorm K next year.
Much has been said in the past regarding the
hostilities between Greeks and independents
But, this is one point on which Greeks and
independents stand together.
As fifth floor houses both Greeks and
independents both will be suffering the same
inconveniences. This situation will only contri­bute
more to the overcrowded conditions of
Auburn University's women's housing.
As residents of the fifth floor of Dorm K we
wish to voice our objections against this
relocation.
Signed by 22 Dorm K residents
Editor, The Plainsman:
It is not my belief that this newspaper
; should continuously cater to those who wish to
argue their individual stands on various issues,
- but since Patricia Thompson was kind enough
to write a personalized letter in rebuttal to my
views, I am compelled to return the courtesy.
I find Miss Thompson's comment about my
lack of comprehension both amusing and ironic
because of her own obvious flaw-ridden
interpretation of my previous letter. It would
seem that Miss Thompson's perceptions would
reflect her pre-med status, but this assumption
was proved invalid by her questionable
interpretive ability.
My argument was that Greekdom, in the
Caton article of February 22, had been
defamed because, if I may quote myself, "it
offered no suggestions for improvement of this
situation."
Since the policy of probings by The
Plainsman is "pointing out problems the
organizations can correct to offer better
service to the students," it is assumed that our
newspaper would graciously offer realistic
solutions to these problems.
The Plainsman has done an excellent job in
fulfilling this policy in most circumstances, but
if Mr. Caton offered a solution, I guess I missed
it. This, Miss Thompson, is my reiteration.
I commend you, Miss Thompson, for your
enlightening comments about universities with
segregated Greek systems, as nothing enter­tains
me more than collegiate trivia. However,
segregation was a far cry from the topic of my
letter, as I used the word "segregation" in only
one instance, as a reference to the article in
question.
Perhaps another "Mr. Cross" wrote a letter
about segregation elsewhere in the letters
section, but I think I am correct in presuming
that your rebuttal was aimed at me.
It this is the case, Miss Thompson, I am
convicted to label your response absurd
Contrary to your belief that Greeks should be
"subject to attack" on this or any matter, I feel
that no party should be subject to an attack
unless an objective and realistic purpose is
stated or a solution is included.
It is with the hope of clarifying my prior
comments that I write this letter. Miss
Thompson and that our misunderstandings are
hereby mended.

Some ag 'Did you knows'
Editor, The Plainsman,
The April 5, 1979, edition of The Plainsman
caused me great distress.
Being a senior in Animal and Dairy Science,
I am proud to be in the School of Agriculture. I,
however, feel that many people have forgotten
just how important agriculture is to those of us
in Auburn and the world.
Below is a list of a few agricultural
did-you-knows:
—Did you know that a hog has cleaner habits
than a human, or any other animal for that
matter?
—Did you know that one American farmer
produces enough food to feed 56 people?
—Did you know that the farmer is one of the
few businessmen who does not set his own
prices?
—Did you know that because of agriculture
Alabama Polytechnic Institute (now Auburn
University) came to be?
—Did you know that on page C-4 of the April
5 edition of The Plainsman you find the list of
candidates for the School of Agriculture
officers?
If you didn't realize the last fact I can't really
blame you because only the School of
Agriculture could have been so greatly
insulted. Oh yes, and the married students too,
by having our headlines cut to one-half the size
of all the other schools listed in Section C.
I hope you can explain why you have
burdened us with this severe insult to our
pride and dignity. I was severly hurt and know
that others on Ag Hill must have felt much the
same as I.
In closing let me leave you with this one last
fact.
—Did you know that without agriculture you
wouldn't even have the paper to print this on?
Donald E. Koehler, 4ADS
Editor, The Plainsman:
Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye, the Afro-Ameri­can
Association court of Auburn is now in
session, the honorable Nancy S. Braye presid­ing.
All judgments here upon made will be
supreme and absolute. No dissenting opinions
will be tolerated or accepted.
The case being tried is the magnificient
Triva \ basketball team vs. the supposedly
campus champs of Phi Gamma Delta. The
I wonderful sportsmen of the Triple A team
! charge the intramural referees of cheating on
grounds of prejudice.
Judge Braye wrote her verdict in the last
edition of The Plainsman, a verdict of guilty.
On my behalf I would like to ask the Triple A
team's forgiveness. I now realize, and I am
sure all the other readers do, that the Fiji's
could not have possible beaten you fairly.
Like Judge Braye said, just look at the poll
that ranked you number one, although I must
admit there was a poll in 1972 that said Nixon
was honest. But then, that is another matter,
for surely you are right, and we have wronged
you by declaring the Fiji's champions.
The omnisicient judge also substantiated her
verdict of guilty, with evidence that is clearly
concrete. Judge Braye said, "The reason I
know the fouls were unnecessary was because
they were so obviously wrong-calls I know
were not true." After all, why should the
referee's not believe her? It is plain to see that
she is right and the referees are at fault.
Nancy S. Braye said in her article that the
defeat would not have been a "bitter pill to
take" if calls would have been made against
both teams in the closing minutes.
First, losing a game should never be a
"bitter pill." If a team plays a sport. Just
knowing they did their best should be enough.
To coin an old saying, "It's not whether you
win or lose, it's how you play the game."
Union workers help Alpha Zeta
Editor, The Plainsman:
This past weekend, the Dixie Regional
Conclave of Alpha Zeta (Agriculture Honor
and Service Fraternity) was held in the Foy
Union on the Auburn campus. The weekend's
events were planned by members of Auburn's
AZ chapter for the visiting delegates who
represented six southeastern universities.
As previously mentioned, the conclave was
held in the Union Building. In addition to the
AZ meeting, several other activities were also
scheduled in the Union this weekend.
He voted for Bessie
but couldn't help it
Editor, The Plainsman:
I think it was absolutely disgraceful that
Bessie the cow was allowed to run in the Miss
Auburn election. It was a shame that all those
girls who worked so hard had to run against a
cow. Besides, Bessie had some unfair advan­tages
that should have disqualified her.
First, Bessie, who probably is not even a
student, most likely had the 'covert backing
of the entire Vet School. There is no telling
how much money she milked out of the school
and slushed into her campaign funds.
Second, I believe Bessie had those black
spots on her painted just for the campaign. I
don't think she's two-toned at all, but rather
that she did it to get the votes from both the
white students AND the black students.
Finally, Bessie has more nipples. That's the
one that did it for me. I really couldn't help
myself so I voted for Bessie.
Paul Ferwerda, 4FI
With so much going on in one place and with
so few people to see that things run smoothly,
something is bound to go wrong for someone!
Well, AZ felt the effects of the busy
weekend as several things that the Union
Building personnel were responsible for did
not work out exactly as they were planned.
However, the purpose of this letter is not to
complain! Rather, it is to thank Bud Powada
and Pat Mullins for their sincere efforts to
straighten things out for us.
We felt that we had to have this printed in
The Plainsman before you would really accept
our thanks! We understand that things can go
wrong without there being anyone to blame.
We certainly didn't blame you guys.
After seeing first hand how hectic things can
get for those of you who are responsible for
seeing that everything is as requested by
groups using the Union, we can better
appreciate the job that you have to do. Again,
thanks for your help-it was appreciated.
And if you're ever up on Ag Hill and need
assistance with anything, just look us up, well
be glad to help you out!

Blinded by blight
Editor, The Plainsman:
It is so, so unfortunate that at the height of
nature's springtime emergence with the
dogwoods (Cornaceae) and azalea (Rhododend­ron
sp.) in full bloom, that this natural beauty
should be masked by the grotesque election
billboards at every turn of the eye.
Blinded by the blight,
Brian Nerrie, 6FAA
Second, I realize it is hard to lose, and to
accuse the referee's of cheating is a lot easier.
But real champions can accept a loss.
Another thing is that the referees are
humans and do make mistakes, but they try to
do their best. Maybe Miss Braye should be
allowed to referee the next game.
For Miss Brave to believe that the referees
were prejudiced especially when the stands
were full of people (and intramural staff), is
ridiculous. And to accuse them of such a thing
is immature and to say the least unsportsman­like.
I only hope that the next time, the winners
and the losers can accept their fates as such
and not bring false racial allegations to their
defense.

Engineering schools need to measure together
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am a sophomore in the School of
Mechanical Engineering here at Auburn. In
the past years that I have been in school, I
have been taught that the United States is
slowly converting from the English system to
the metric system.
All through high school I was taught to use
the metric system and am very familiar with it
now.
The pre-engineering curriculum here at
Auburn also uses the metric system in
calculus, chemistry, and physics. This re-emphasized
that change to the metric system
even more to me.
Now that I am taking mostly mechanical
engineering courses, I find the engineers are
not changing to the metric system, but are
sticking to the English system. I now have to
go back and learn all the English measure­ments.
I have to convert from meters to feet,
milliliters to ounces, grams to pound-mass,
Joules to BTU...the list goes on and on.
It is obvious to me that this is a lack of
communication between the schools of pre-engineering
and mechanical engineering.
I could understand my high school and
Auburn using different systems, but this is a
division within the University and it needs to
be corrected. Come on Auburn, Let's get
together on one system!

Doonesbury should be in Plainsman
Editor, The Plainsman:
We disagree with the opinion of the
Plainsman editors that the Doonesbury comic
strip is a "waste of space". Doonesbury is an
excellent editorial with appropriate social
comments of its own. The fact that Doones­bury
is included in the Plainsman does not
prevent the printing of news articles, nor does
it lessen the achievements of local artists.
Cancellation of the Doonesbury cartoon would
be a disservice to many Plainsman readers.

More letters Kennan contradicts his own policies
Friday, April IS, 1979 A-6
Education school information
omitted from elections edition
Editor, The Plainsman:
Concerning your "Election Supple­ment"
of April 5, 1979, you seem to
have forgotten the candidates for the
offices in the School of Education. I am
sure that this is just an oversight, but
this has not only hurt those running tor
office, it has also hurt the average
education student's chance for a truly

Elections
From page A-1
Editor, The Plainsman:
This letter refers to the FORUM
event of April 5 which featured George
F. Kennan as a guest speaker. Mr.
Kennan spoke on morality in foreign
policy, isolationism, Communist con­tainment,
and consistency in American
foreign policy. There were several
inconsistencies in the program, how­ever,
which we believe important
enough to bring to light.
The first fact we wish to question in
Mr. Kennan's speech is whether he is
truly an isolationist. Although he
professed to believe in isolationism, his
actions have shown him to be the very
opposite.
For example, Mr. Kennan is a past
member of the CFR (Council on
Foreign Relations), a group whose
purpose is to condition Americans to
accept "positive" foreign policy to
replace the traditional "negative"
foreign policy which had kept America
out of endless turmoil of old world
politics and had permitted the Ameri­can
people to develop their nation on
freedom and independence from the
rest of the world. If Mr. Kennan were
truly an isolationist, why would he
belong to an internationist organization
like CFR which opposes isolationism?
We would also like to ask Mr.
Kennan why he advised the European
Advisory Commission to accept the
Russian plan to partition Berlin and
isolate it 110 miles deep in Communist-controlled
territory.
Although Washington did not accept
the proposal, Kennan broke the dead­lock
by going directly to President
Roosevelt and persuading him to
accept the Berlin zoning agreement
(which did not specify any land access
routes to the American zone).
Perhaps Mr. Kennan could not forsee
that his "containment" of West Berlin
would lead us into turmoil which, as an
"isolationist," he would have hoped to
avoid.
We had hoped to ask these and other
questions on foreign policy and the
CFR, but Mr. Kennan left so hurriedly
that no one was able to ask any
questions. If Mr. Kennan does not want
to answer questions on his actions in
public, we wish that he would not
speak to us about morality and ethics.
He may choose to answer our
questions privately by writing to the
address below. Anyone desiring to
research the facts used in this letter
may obtain a bibliography by writing
this address. We will also be glad to
furnish more information about the
CFR upon written request.

What's wrong with Plainsman
Presidential candidate, Jim
Purcell, was another office-seeker
who was sentenced with media
punishment but for an entirely
different reason.
"I think his violation was mainly
a matter of circumstance,"
Gribbin said, "I understand his
posters were a day late coming in.
His violation was for putting up his
posters on top " everyone else's."
Purcell had to have all his
advertising taken down Tuesday
night.
A third campaign violation came
about when Jerry Vaughan, an
off-campus senate candidate was
found to have placed posters on
telephone poles.
"This not only violated campaign
rules but a city ordinance," said
Gribbin.
Vaughan was given the same
punishment as Harris and Purcell.
Gribbin said that Murry
Mitchell, a candidate running for
off-campus senator, was cited by
the board for "numberous viola­tions."
The main one being having
too many posters on one bulletin
board, he said. He too, had to
remove all advertisement.
Allen Stapleton, who ran for SGA
treasurer, was required to "cut off
a full inch," from his oversized
handbills, and take down all adver­tising,"
Gribbin said.
Gribbin emphasized that
although the five candidates who

said.
Philpott said if Auburn had had
to face and additional cut of 10
percent, he feared there would
have been lawsuits from students
because some courses of instruc­tion
would have had to have been
cut out entirely.
There could have been a viola­tion
of contract and as much as a
three year obligation would have
had to have been reckoned with if
curricula changes had come about.

outcome of the Board meeting
saying he believed the Board was
"heading down the right road."
were charged with media viola­tions
were forced to take down
campaign advertisements they
were still allowed to campaign on a
personal basis and give out small
handbills.
Gribbin said there are no set
rules to go by in dealing with
campaign violations, "We (the
Elections Board) just tried to be
fair and make the punishments fit
the violation."
Editor, The Plainsman:
What's wrong with the paper? I'll tell
you. Editors, the folks in charge of it
who in trying to improve The
Plainsman, cancel (remove, stop, ana­thematize,
excreate) Donnesbury, a
truly entertaining feature.
How can you improve anything by
taking something good away from it? I
simply can't believe there is not enough
space for Doonesbury and the local
artists.
Dave White dismisses it as being
"unimportant." Perhaps he just doesn't
understand it. Try getting someone to
explain it to you, Dave. It's really very
nice.

Frost recalls favorite interviews
By Cathy Masters
Plainsman Staff Writer
The Nixon interviews were the
"most challenging, the most fulfill­ing,
the most interesting ones I
think I've ever had," international­ly
famous interviewer David Frost
told an audience of 800 students
Tuesday night in the Student Act
Building.
There were two problems with
the interviews Frost said, "One
was "how many admissions" he
would get from Nixon. Frost said
there were even more included in
Nixon's book which came after he
and the former president's inter­views.
The most notable was the
sentiment, "I've let down
friends," in Frost's opinion.
my
The second problem in handling
the talks was, Frost explained,
• "Nixon was a person to feel so
easily violated. If anything sound­ed
psychiatric, h Would run for the
fields."
Frost said he feels, that Nixon
had a definite inferiority complex.
Frost said the mqst memorable
part of his life is the interviews
with politicians, and he classified
them for his audience.
He said Rhodesia's Prime Minis­ter
Ian Smith is "the most elusive
man on God's universe." Frost
said one of Smith's tricks was to
pretend not to hear the whole
question and only answer what he
wished.
Frost called politicians, "The
bland leading the bland," and
"that's why a candid politician is
so refreshing."
The most candid politician he
ever interview was Prime Minister
Whitland of Australia. Frost once
asked him how many Russian spies
were in Australia, and Whitland
replied there was only six and
there were more British spies in
Australia than in Russia. Frost
then asked how many Australian
spies were in Britan and Whitland
replied, "That's a secret."
Frost said when he interviewed
Idi Amin, after being In power for
only a year, his impression was
that Amin was an accredited ty­rant,
but not an accredited mon­ster,
but even then he had "a
certain native cunning."
In closing Frost said he agreed
with the epitaph Moyshe Dayan
said he would like to be remember­ed
by: "That's what I'm dead for,
not to care what people think about
me."

••.says Nixon interviews most challenging
Mayor initiates action
against his predecessor
By Julie Culwell
Plainsman Staff Writer
Auburn Mayor Donald Hayhurst,
an Auburn Political Science Pro­fessor,
is fighting a battle against
the sins of his predecessor.
The Auburn professor is re­sponsible
for bringing the situation
before the State Ethics Commis­sion
for an investigation into the
actions of former mayor James
Haygood (which lead to the indebt-ing)
of the city for payment of a
sewerage project.
A payment of $150,000 is now
facing the city for the Bent Creek
sewerage project which was com­pleted
by Burns, Kirkley and Wil­liams
Construction Co., a local
firm.
The alleged illegality resulted
from Haygood's convincing Hay­hurst
that it is never the responsi­bility
of the city to pay for such
work. "No one can find or present
to anyone any policy for the Au­burn
city government that pro­vides
payment to private deve­lopers
to help pay for sewerage,"
Hayhurst said.
Hayhurst pointed out Haygood
was, during his time of office, and
is currently, the attorney for the
developers, which he said shows
additional conflict of interest re­sulting
in a breech of legal ethics.
Haygood defended his action by
presenting to the investigating
committee, an unsigned, undated
document saying Auburn would
help pay for the project if the
action was approved by the City
Council.
But Hayhurst said the document
wouldn't hold water, "If there is no
public record of a policy, then to
contend that a policy exists is to
admit that some private off-the-record
agreement was reached
without the knowledge of the public
and Press. You can't have a case
either way.
The vote OK'ing the payment
came only days before the former
city council and mayor were to
leave office at its last official
meeting.
Hayhurst contends the urgency
of the action was of a lame duck
council and an outgoing mayor
which quickly passed a bill for a
large amount of money with little
time for consideration or discus­sion.
The Ethics Committee decision
could do one of two things. They
can recommend it to the prose­cuting
attorney of the state, or take
it to the State Bar's Grievance
Committee. Hayhurst said if the
former mayor is found guilty, his
license to practice law could be
revoked.

Plainsman Staff Writer
Athletic departments across the
country are sweating it out until
Sunday when Secretary of Health,
Education and Welfare Joseph
Califano is scheduled to issue a
final interpretation of Title IX and
Auburn is no exception. This is the
controversial anti-sex discrimina­tion
law, which relates to guide­lines
for funding of men's and
women's sports.
The current interpretation
implies that there must be equal
funding for men's and women's
athletic programs, including major
revenue producing sports like
intercollegiate football and
basketball.
Several schools have recently
protested this interpretation,
saying that the HEW's unwilling­ness
to take into account "the
peculiar nature and cost of inter­collegiate
football" threatens to
undermine the viability of all in­tercollegiate
sports.
Athletic Director Lee Hayley
said that if the current interpreta­tion
remains and Califano decides
major sports cannot be exempt,
there could be "drastic reduc­tions"
in the major sports.
In the past, Hayley said, funds
here have been allocated to each of
the eight men's and eight women's
sports according to their previous
expenditures, with allowances for
whatever University increases
might be made. Each year, a
Pollen called number one
complaint at Health Center
By Tammy Kincaid
Plainsman Staff Writer
Last quarter the number one
health complaint among students
was colds and respiratory related
problems due to the cold weather.
This quarter it's the same thing all
over again, but this time it's not the
weather but pollen, according to
Dr. Judith S. Hood, director of the
Student Health Center.
Hood said that approximately
one-third of the students at Auburn
were involved last quarter with
this problem.
"In January and February, the
Student Health Center handled
about 200 cases a day involving
these problems and is still
handling about 150 cases per day so
far this quarter," Hood said.
"The reasons for the large per­centage
of the respiratory related
illnesses last quarter involved the
cold weather which caused people
to be confined and have close
contact with one another," Hood
said. She added that especially the
close contact between the indi­viduals
provided the basis for the
spreadage of bacteria.
budget is submitted to the Board of
Trustees and they allocate money
according to need.
"But," he said, "it follows that
the ones (programs) that bring in
the most money like basketball and
football also spend the most."
Over the past three years, the
women's sports program has
grown tremendously here. Three
years ago, the Board of Trustees
elected to fully fund the program
and thus far, nothing has been
taken from men's athletics or any
other program to support the
women."
Dr. Jody Davenport, director of
women's athletics, flatly stated, "I
don't want women to make
progress at the expense of the men.
That would be regression.
According to Davenport, the
National Collegiate Athletic Asso­ciation
(NCAA) and the Associa­tion
of Intercollegiate Athletics for
Women (AIAW) also have more
than just a passing interest in
Sunday's decision.
"The NCAA has been lobbying
fiercely to get revenue-producing
sports exempt. They've fought
against the guidelines. On the other
hand, AIAW has fought in favor of
the guidelines."
Davenport explained that there
seems to thave been misunder­standing
about what the HEW
guidelines require.
"The original guidelines said 'no
discrimination by sex,' " she said.
"Equal funding doesn't mean
women want half the sports
budget. It means women should
have comparable opportunity.
"For example, women shouldn't
have to sleep six to a room on road
trips if men must only sleep two to
a room. They shouldn't have to
stay up driving all night, either, if
male athletes don't."
Davenport said one of the major
drawbacks of the HEW guidelines
would be the possible earmarking
of funds into categories.
"Certainly, we would like tne
money, but it would do us more
good to be able to decide where to
spend it," she said.

"Consider recruiting. Women's
athletic programs are under
certain AIAW restrictions as far as
recruiting expenses. We aren't
allowed to spend great amounts.
But if the HEW earmarked, say,
$75,000 for recruiting and that was
all we could use it for, we would
either violate AIAW rules by using
it or waste the allocations by not
using it."
"We should be the ones to decide
where the money should be spent,"
she said. "If the money has to be
earmarked, the categories should
be changed for women's sports."
Davenport also added that "tre­mendous
progress" has been made
in Auburn's women's sports pro­gram.
Three years ago, we had around
$6,000 for scholarships. For the
coming year, we're talking more
like $95,000. That's an indication of
how much we've grown."

Nuclear research on campus no cause for alarm
By Ellen Kelly
Plainsman Staff Writer
Although the threat of a nuclear
health hazard is currently ranking
high in the minds of many Ameri­cans,
according to Dr. John R.
Cooper, Director of Auburn's Nu­clear
Science Center, the radio­active
research conducted here on
campus

should be no cause for
According to Cooper, there are
labs containing radiation sources
used for teaching and experimen­tation
located all over the campus.
The Nuclear Science Center, how­ever,
contains many teaching and
research labs with the more spe­cialized
equipment on campus
which produces the highest levels
of radiation.
Although there is no one curricu­lum
connected with the Nuclear
Science Center, said Cooper, many
departments such as veterinary
medicine and mechanical engi­neering
use the center's labs.
The closest thing to a nuclear
reactor in the Center, Cooper said,
is a sub-critical reactor assembly.
Official from Atlanta hospital
named dean of nursing school
Although it can cause fission and is
operated similarly to a reactor, the
sub-critical assembly is not cap­able
of producing any actual pow­er,
he explained.
The assembly, Cooper continued,
is used for such purposes as
studying the distribution of neu­trons
in a structure, and it is
basically a teaching tool.
Auburn has a license to utilize
these sources of radiation which
were issued from the state of
Alabama through the permission of
the Nuclear Regulatory Commis­sion,
Cooper said.
When asked what safety precau­tions
are taken to avoid any over­exposure
or danger from the equip­ment,
Cooper explained that the
University Radiological Safety
Committee is responsible for ra­diation
safety.
The committee, Cooper stated,
must approve every use of the
equipment, not only the accepting
the qualifications of any individual
wishing to conduct an experiment,
but by accepting also the proce­dure
he plans to use.
In order to prevent overexposure,
the committee has set a limit of an
Intake of five rems (units of
radiation) per person per year,
Cooper said. He explained that
there was no real danger in receiv­ing
five rems, stating that it would
take some 600 rems prove fatal. A
normal chest X-ray, Cooper added,
is equal to about .1 rems.
The amount of radiation received
each year by every individual who
works in a radiation lab is mea­sured
by a film badge worn when­ever
working in the radiation labs,
Cooper said.
Cooper added that as far as he
knew there have never been any
cases which were in excess of five
rems.

Mary F. Woody has been ap­pointed
dean of the new Auburn
School of Nursing.
Woody is presently the director
of nursing and assistant director of
Atlanta's Grady Memorial Hospit­al,
a position she has held since
1968.
She was administrative super­visor,
then assistant director of
medical-surgical nursing and co-instructor
in the master's program
in nursing at Grady for 12 years
before holding her present position.
"I didn't actually apply for the
position at Aubum," said Wood, "I
was asked to consider it, and I did.
I was serving on the health advis­ory
council at Auburn at the time."
Woody said she is very excited
about her new position. "It's a new
opportunity—a new opportunity to
do something different. I didn't go
to Auburn but I've always liked and
appreciated the school."
University of Georgia SGA
abolished in student vote
By Steve Farisb
Plainsman Staff Writer
The Student Government Assoc­iation
of the University of Georgia
was abolished last week in a vote
by the student body, a vote similar
to one that some day may be held
at Auburn.
According to Harold Mulherin,
former president of the now-defunct
Georgia SGA, that organ­ization
"didn't have a purpose any
more." He said that the SGA there
lost its power two years ago when it
lost the right to allocate funds for
student activity fees.
Mulherin said he began his drive
to abolish the Georgia SGA last
quarter, when he ran for president,
vice-president, and senator on an
abolitionist platform. After being
elected, he said that he had pre­sented
a referendum to abolish the
salaries of SGA workers and to
determine if the students wanted to
abolish the SGA, both of which
passed.
After the first referendum, Mul­herin
said that he ran into some
problems before an official
"abolish the SGA" vote could be
had. He said he first had to have
two-thirds approval by the Student
Senate before any amendment
voted on by the students could
become official. He stated this vote
was procured the night before the
vote.
The vote of the SGA student body
was approximately 60 percent in
favor of Mulhern's amendment.
The process by which Mulherin
got the Georgia SGA abolished is
quite different from that followed
by Jim Purcell in trying to get the
Auburn SGA abolished.
Purcell first presented his case
before the Student Senate, then he
collected signatures to force the
SGA to put an amendment giving
the students the right to vote to
abolish the SGA. The SGA said,
though, that Purcell's petition was
not in the right form, and that it
would not put it on the spring '79
ballot.
The SGA,however, changed its
mind, and a part of Purcell's
petition did appear on yesterday's
ballot. Purcell, though, called the
form on the ballot only a "straw
poll," and Charlotte Davis, activi­ties
advisor for Student Affairs,
commented that it is nothing more
than "a referendum on student
opinion."
The vote nonetheless could show
that, just as the first vote at UGA
showed, the students are in favor of
abolition of the SGA.
She isn't sure when she will be
leaving Grady and assuming her
duties here on a permanent basis.
"I'm working it out," she said. "I
spend days at Auburn as needed.
I'm disengaging myself from
things here at Grady."
Woody said she hasn't had time
to make any real plans for the
school. "I plan for it to be a school
of high quality," she said. "We'll
be making solid plans later after a
faculty has been hired and we've
talked to them."
"I would also like to involve the
community in the clinical pro­gram,"
she said.
Woody has served as the chair­man
of the Master Plan­ning
Committee for Nursing and
Nursing Education for the state of
Georgia. She worked to establish a
nurse-midwife program at Grady
that has now become a national
model. This service led to the
establishment of a master's pro­gram
in nurse-midwifery at Emory
University.
Woody said her philosophy of
nursing education is that it be
broad-based. "It should include not
just the sciences but the humani­ties
as well. It should teach them to
think, to problem solve, to care."

IFC president concerned about Greek image
By Myra Hunter
Plainsman Staff Writer
Eddie Wheeler, the Interfraterni-ty
Council president, sees the IFC
as a service organization to mem­ber
fraternities, but would like to
change its image.
'We would like to be seen as a
group that brings activities to the
entire campus, not just to fraterni­ties,"
Wheeler, an electrical en­gineering
senior, said.
About 80 percent of all activities
on campus are sponsored by Greek
organizations, Wheeler said.
He doesn't think that means fra­ternities
are over-emphasized,
though. For example, any event
held for the All Campus Fund
Drive, is open to anyone interested,
regardless of their status as Greek
or non-Greek.
"Overemphasis is not our in­tention,"
he said. "Fraternities
just take the interest to sponsor
activities while non-Greek organi­zations
do not."
Despite the "interest," one pro­blem
facing the IFC is apathy
among the members, Wheeler
said. "The IFC hasn't provided
some of the kinds of activities
fraternities would like to partici­pate
in," he said.
Wheeler feels innovative and sur­prising
ideas are needed to stimu­late
campus-wide interest in the

Landlords rank nunber one on student gripe list
Kelly Kohler
Assistant New Editor
The Opelika branch of the Better
Business Bureau receives calls
from Auburn students concerning
everything from landlords to mail
order fraud.
"We receive at least 20 calls a
day from students," said Carol
Elpin, office manager for the Bet­ter
Business Bureau of West
Georgia-East Alabama Inc.
"Our biggest complaint from
students is about landlords, both
individuals and agencies," said
Elpin. "Many students decide
against an apartment after they
fA0>
have already put their deposit
down, or they decide to move out
and find they are unable to get
their deposit back."
"An equally big complaint con­cerns
the television cable com-.
pany. We get complaints about the
cable not being connected when it
was promised or with Incorrect
billing," said Elpin.
Other student complaints con­cern
door-to-door magazine sales­men,
insurance salesmen and mail
order fraud.
Elpin said most of the complaints
received "are generally resolved."
"All complaints must be handled
in writing," she said. "After we
receive a written complaint we call
the company to get both sides of the
story. The problem is then general­ly
adjusted. We have a very good
relationship with the companies we
deal with.
"The local average for resolution
of consumer complaints is 73-75
percent," Elpin added.
Elpin offered some tips to avoid
being ripped off.
"Never sign anything before you
number of people who don't read
contracts before signing.
"Also, acquaint yourself with
your obligations concerning leases.
It is important to remember that it
is required to give a 30-day notice
before moving out. Many students
are under the impression that they
can just pack up and leave.
"It is also a good idea to deal
with local merchants rather than.
4:00. For all gluttons, Beta Theta
Pi will sponsor a Pie Eating
Contest.
B.J's (old Courtney's) will be
having a 75 cents Drink Special all

have a Lake Race on the pond

invited.

3:00 Alpha Gamma Rho will have
its Hot Spot Basketball Shooting

"At times we feel slighted,"
Wheeler said, "and at times we feel
we are well-covered. Occasionally
an article is printed on fraternities
for no apparent reason."
The major activities organized by
the IFC Greek Week which will
be April 16-21, Step Sing which is
co-sponsored with the Panhellenic
Council in the fall, and the Home­coming
concert, which has caused
both the IFC and the University a
lot of grief in past years.
Wheeler said the main problem
with the concert isn't financial. He
maintained the problem is the
unavailability of talent.
Wheeler said big name enter­tainers
or groups have no desire to
perform in facilities the size of
Auburn's when they can perform in
facilities like the Omni in Atlanta.

School of Education
rated 'excellent' overall
Extension 1}
L UPTOWN AUBURN fjA
By Marian Peden
Plainsman Staff Writer
Auburn's School of Education
was recently reviewed by the
National Council for Accreditation
of Teacher Education and given an
overall "excellent rating." Prob­lems
may arise shortly since pror­ation
will limit the extent to which
the department can comply with
the evaluation's recommendations,
said Associate Dean Richard W.
Warner.
The main problem the inspection
cited was that the department is
understaffed, and this could easily
become an even more serious
offense as proration cuts continue,
he said.
Other programs within the de­partment
which may be in real
trouble are travel plans and ex­pansion
of facilities. Warner said
that travel plans would be the first
to go with proration's squeeze.
He also mentioned the need for
an expanded library, one of the
things pointed out specifically by
the NCATE reviewers.
The investigation group partic­ularly
commended the depart­ment's
graduate school and ac­cording
to Dr. Kenneth R. Easter-day,
co-chairman of the evaluation
group, the school's programs will
be shifting more and more into
graduate research in the future.
One reason for the added empha­sis
on research is that fewer
undergraduates are entering the
school. The fewer undergraduates
there are, the greater the need is
for graduate programs, Easterday
explained.
Warner said other universities
similar to Auburn spend as much
as one third of their class load time
on research. This could be done at
Auburn by reducing the hours
required in class teaching, he said.
Easterday said the increasing
attendance at junior colleges may
be an important factor in under­standing
the decreasing enroll­ment
of undergraduate students at
both Auburn and the University of
Alabama.
Warner expressed "concern"
about the effects proration may
have one the school's programs,
but said he doubted that the school
would lose its accreditation be­cause
of it.

Administrators speak for FORUM
Majestic Hi, ,,i •••in • MM *% fc .

Whether standing out amid the bare trees of winter, or hidden by the
blossoming trees in spring, Samford Tower serves as a reminder of
Auburn's true Southern heritage.
By Cathy Masters
Plainsman Staff Writer
A symposium with campus ad­ministrators,
a speech by the as­sistant
chief constable of Strath-clyde,
Scotland and a speech on
career development are three
FORUM events scheduled for this
quarter.
Director Rick Harmon said 15
events have been scheduled this
quarter for FORUM credit and
says, "I hope there will be more."
The symposium, April 30 through
May 3, will feature Dean Katherine
C. Cater, dean of student life; Dr.
Floyd Vallery, assistant to the
president; Dr. Drew T. Ragan,
dean of student affairs and Presi­dent
Harry M Philpott.
Cater will begin the symposium
April 30 with a talk on campus
issues and a question-and-answer
session.
On May 1, Vallery will speak on
the University administration and
answer student questions.
Ragan will be speaker on May 2
and Philpott will conclude the
Horizon's sponsored symposium on
May 3 with a lecture and question-and-
answer session.
"I'm looking for some good
questions from the students," Har­mon
said. "It is a good chance for
students to ask the people who run
it why it is run the way it is. When
I've talked to administrators, they
have been responsive," he said.
The speech on career develop­ment
will be given by Dr. Samuel
Osipow, chairman of the Depart­ment
of Psychology at Ohio State
University. He will speak in Haley
Center 2370 on April 18.
"There are an awful lot of
complaints about Auburn and some
of them are pretty valid, and it (the
symposium) is a good chance for
students to complain to the people
who can do something about it,"
Harmon said.
Alastair Petrie, the assistant
chief constable of Strathclyde,
Scotland, will speak on policing in
Scotland on May 3.
Between 120 and 160 students
failed FORUM last quarter, Har­mon
said, most of them because
they had only attended one or two
events.
An event becomes a FORUM
event when its sponsor, academic
departments and the UPC, asks the
FORUM director to offer the event
for FORUM credit. The director
makes a recommendation and
sends the proposal to committee
for approval.
Normally events are submitted
for approval two weeks in advance,
but Harmon said the time limit
depends on how desperate he is for
events. He said last quarter events
were scarce and they were
desperate; so when events came
two or three days before they were
scheduled to happen, he imme­diately
sent them to the committee
for approval.
Harmon said he didn't really
know why events were scarce
winter quarter.
Harmon received a lot of criti­cism
winter quarter for the lack of
seating for some events. He said he
tried to talk sponsors into taking
bigger rooms because more than
300 students would show up for
each event.
Alabama leads nation in per capita divorce
By Steve Farish
Plainsman Staff Writer
Alabama has the highest per
capita divorce rate in the nation,
according to findings brought out
in a Family Life Conference here
at Auburn last week.
Last year in Alabama 25,141
couples were divorced, a figure
that is one-third higher than the
national per capita divorce aver­age,
Judith Moracco, a "Sociology of
the Family" instructor, and
Johnna Flowers, marriage coun­selor
for Student Development
Services participated in the con­ference
and offered several rea­sons
for the high divorce rate.
Moracco said that the reasons
that divorce is rising nationally can
generally be applied to Alabama
too. She said that in general
divorce is becoming more accep­table
in our culture, and that
easing of divorce
itating the process.

Singers, Concert Choir
auditions next week
Auditions will be held on April
16-19 for the Auburn University
Concert Choir and University Sing­ers.
Those selected will participate
in the choral groups during the
1979-80 academic year.
Both the Concert Choir and Uni­versity
Singers are open to any
University student and offer one
hour of academic credit. Students
may audition for one or both
groups during the audition period.
Students who wish to audition
should sign for an audition time
in Goodwin Building, 112, (Choral
Rehearsal Hall). More information
can be obtained by contacting Dr. .
Thomas R. Smith, director of
Choral Activities, at 826-4194 or at
Goodwin Building 113.
The increase in the number of
women who are seeking careers
sometimes adds to the divorce
rate, but the availability of day­care
centers may relieve some of
the pressure on divorces involving
children, Moracco said.
Flowers noted several con­tributing
factors to divorce that she
has found in her work with Auburn
college students. She said that
among these factors are the lack of
time that a married couple has for
one another while in college, the
added strain of sustaining a mar­riage
and at the same time trying
to make good grades and the
financial strain that often accom­panies
a college education.
Flowers added that reasons for
divorce are often case specific, but
that there are a few reasons for
divorce that can be seen nationally.
She said that a number of divorces
occur either after the first child is
born or after the last child has left
the house, because these are criti­cal
times for a marriage.
Flowers agreed with Moracco
that most lax divorce laws are
increasing the divorce rate, and
she pointed out that the laws in
Alabama make it "very, very
easy" to get a quick uncontested
divorce.

Harmon said.
Although an event had limited

the event anyway because of the
shortage of events last quarter. It
was either approve an event with
limited seating or have even fewer
events for FORUM students to go

The FORUM office doesn't bring

School of Engineering on
cover of national magazine
By Donna Tracy
Plainsman Staff Writer
Auburn's School of Engineering
was featured on the March cover of
"Professional Engineer" the
National Society of Professional
Engineers magazine.
This was the first time Auburn's
Engineering School had appeared
on the cover of a magazine ac­cording
to Jimmy Johnson, assis­tant
editor of engineering.
The color photograph on the
cover was accompanied by a three-page
article by Vincent S.
Haneman, dean of engineering on
the participation of engineering
students and faculty in state and
community programs.
When asked why Auburn's en­gineering
school was featured on
the cover, Haneman said, "Be­cause
we have the best damn
engineering school in the country."
Haneman added that the school
was chosen for the high level of
active participation and coopera­tion
between students, faculty and
engineering societies.
Mary Paris, associate editor of
Professional Engineer, was quoted
as saying Auburn had a good
reputation for an active student
body, where students of all phases
of engineering get involved.
Paris also said it is the first time
in recent memory that the
Washington based magazine had
featured an educational institution
on its cover.
Paris and editor John Kane
visited Auburn in January to con­sult
with Haneman on the article
and to take photographs.

six additional photographs featur­ing

Glance shines
Auburn track team whips Crimson Tide
By Ed Moore
Plainsman Sports Writer
In what could have been the best
dual meet in the country this year,
Auburn's track team defeated
Alabama 83-71 here last weekend.
About 3,400 fans honoring Wilbur
Hutsell, Auburn's largest crowd
ever, were treated to world class
times as the two almost equally
matched national powers battled.
"That's about what I thought
we'd win by," Auburn Track Coach
Mel Rosen said.' 'I thought we did a
real good job. We scored in each
event, which shows we're improv­ing
and making progress. It was a
competitive meet and we were
running to win, not for times."
Don't tell that to the crowd. The
Tiger's 400-meter relay team of
Tony Easley, Steve Strother,
Harvey Glance and James Walker
finished at 39.62, the second fastest
time in the nation this year, to give
Auburn the early lead.
Joe Franklin followed with a win
in the steeplechase at 8:51.13, less
than a second off the Auburn
record. Franklin ran a strong race
at a record pace through the first
half, but had no one to push him at
the end. Even so, he won by a
comfortable 14 seconds.
John Tuttle, who has the fastest
time in the nation this year in the
steeplechase, won the 1500 meter
and James Walker followed that
with a win in the 110 high hurdles.
Auburn was dominating the
running events, but Alabama was
scoring in the field events to keep
the meet close.
Rob Will kept Auburn in the field
events with wins in the shot put and
discus. Will's put of 60' 3 / 4 " was
eight feet farther than the second
place put and his discus toss of
179'2" was nine feet farther than
his previous best and second best in
Auburn history.
Marc Valentine tied for second
with a 6'11" high jump and Auburn
led 39-38 after nine events.
That set up the 100 meter dash
duel between Glance and James
Mallard, but it was no contest as
Glance led from start to finish
running 10.16, a track record, meet
Lady tracksters win too
By Lorayne Bryan
Plainsman Sports writer
The finish of each race was close,
but the score never was, as Au­burn's
Women Track Team defeat­ed
Alabama 95 to 41.
"The thing that pleased me most
is that the win was a total team
effort," said Women's Track
Coach, Bill Katz. Auburn displayed
a great deal of depth, taking first in
13 of the 16 events and combining
for 15 second and third place
finishes.
A talented freshman, Nora Arau-jo,
lead the scoring for Auburn with
two first-place finishes, a second
and a third. "This was the type of
day I've been waiting for from
Nora," Katz responded.
In her one attempt at the long
jump, she set a school record and
won the competition with a dis­tance
of 19'4.5". About 300 specta­tors
watched as the champion from
Portugal went on to win the com­petition
in the 400-meter hurdles,

record and the fastest time in the
world this year.
After a second and third for
Auburn in the 800, Walker put on a
show in the 400 intermediate
hurdles. Walker took a command­ing
lead at the 330 mark and with
no one pushing him ran 49.41, the
fastest time in the nation this year.
Brian Burns finished second for'
Auburn at 52.51, his fastest time
ever, making it a key event for
Auburn.
The 200-meter dash followed,
again pitting Glance against Mal­lard.
The two drew adjoining lanes
and they matched strides for 195
meters with Mallard edging out
Glance for the win.
Mallard's 20.32 and Glance's
20.39 were the two fastest times in
the world and was a personal best
for Glance. For Glance it was his
only loss at Auburn in his career.
Rosen said he though Glance will
run the 200 in less than 20 seconds
by the end of the season.
Glance and Easley finished first
and second in the long jump, and
Easley second in the triple jump.
Glance jumped 25' 9 1 / 2 " , second
best in the nation, and Easley's 25'
6" jump qualified him for the
nationals.
Tom Graves won the 5000 meter
to clinch the meet for Auburn after
Kevin O'Keefe led through much of
the race and finished third.
Auburn seniors Glance, Easley,
Walker, Franklin, Valentine and
Will were competing for the last
time at Auburn and were continu­ally
applauded by appreciative
Auburn fans.
One fan remarked after the
meet, "Where else can you go into
your backyard and see world class
athletes?"

Sanders, Yearout will be missed
By Chuck Anschutz
Sports Editor
A friend of mine was staring, jaw
dropped, at a newspaper Tuesday
morning.
"Did you see this?" he asked me.
He could barely get the words out.
He was stunned. I couldn't imagine
what he was gazing at.
The story was about WAUD gett­ing
the rights to broadcast Auburn
football and basketball games next
season. No more Gary Sanders. No
more Gusty Yearout.
According to Athletic Director
Lee Hayley, no bid has been
formally accepted. But with an
estimated bid of $44,500 for the
first year and an added $5,000 for
the following year (the top bid),
WAUD from Auburn will probably
get the rights. WAPI, Sander's
station, offered the lowest bid at
$28,000.
And WAUD havs already Indi­cated
that Paul Ellen from Auburn
University relations will be their
play-by-play man.
The University obviously has a
say In who does the boradcasting,
but apparently is not going to push
for the retainment of Sanders and
Yearout.
I've heard from quite a few
students who can't believe the
situation. They grew to know Au­burn
sports through Sander's
voice.

UP AND OVER
Marc Valentine leads Auburn High jumpers
By Barry Webne
Assistant Sports Editor
Unsung heroes ty an expression
which is commonly used. Auburn
has two athletes who fit this cate­gory
in tracksters Rob Will and
Marc Valentine.
Will and Valentine closed out their
home track career last Saturday
against Alabama. Will won two
events, the discus and shot put,
while Valentine placed second in a
tie in the high jump event.
Will has a throw of 179 feet 2
inches in the discus while in the shot
his throw measured 60 feet 75
inches. Valentine jumped 6 feet 11
inches in his event.
Both Valentine and Will are sen­iors
at Auburn University this year
and in their last year of eligibility as
athletes.
Will came to Auburn four years
ago from his hometown of Lyn-brook,
N.Y., while Valentine came
from Memphis, Tenn.
Will and Valentine participate in
field events for the Auburn squad.
Will throws the shot put and Valen­tine
high jumps.
"My brother ran track about 12 or
13 years ago," said Valentine,
"that's why I took it up. I've been
jumping since 1968, since I was
small."
Head Auburn Track Coach Mel
Rosen said, "Valentine is one of the
more consistent jumpers we've had
here at Auburn. He's been an asset
to the team because he always
jumps in the 6 foot 10 inch, 6 foot 11
inch area."
Rosen also added Valentine was
only a shade away from being a

I'll miss Sander's broadcasts and
interviews. He had personality. He
called 'em like he saw 'em. And he
wasn't afraid to analyze situations.
Sanders is going to miss Auburn
also.
"I'm very disappointed," he
said. "Gusty and I will miss doing
the Auburn games very much. But
everything has to come to an end
sometime. I guess this is the time."
Sanders will leave the Auburn
beat disappointed but not bitter.
"I've really enjoyed doing the
Auburn games," he said. "I got to
see some of the greats at Auburn. I
may not have seen the best teams
in Auburn history, but I had
Sullivan and Beasley and Mengelt,
Mitchell and Johnson.
"The thing I'll treasure most
though are Auburn fans coming up
to me and telling me that at least
we beat Alabama in one thing-broadcasting."
Sanders was voted Alabama's
sportscaster of the year six times
with his "unprofessional style" (as
some critics claim).
Paul Ellen is unproven, but it is
unfair to say that he can't do an
excellent job. I understand that he
has a bright career in front of him.
To some Paul will be a breath of
fresh air.
But in others eyes, he will be
trying to fill some tremendously
large shoes.
AU Tiger baseball team set for South Alabama
By Barry Webne
Assistant Sports Editor
The Auburn University baseball
team lost three games to Ole Miss
this past weekend, but won two this
week against Columbus College
and Huntingdon.
The Tigers now have an overall
record of 13-9 while in the South­eastern
Conference they are 3-8.
Head Auburn Baseball Coach
Paul Nix said, "We haven't been
playing very well this year. We're
not able to beat good teams, and
* • *. at
\ «
I t
our injuries are part of that
cause."
Nix said he team is playing with
three out of eight injured players.
"We are playing with three bad
arms out of eight," he said. "We
can't make the ordinary plays and
that hurts. Pat Keedy has a bad
arm. J.B. Brown has a hurt wrist
and jaw and Steve Renfroe has a
bad shoulder."
The Auburn coach said his infield
players have a lot of injuries. "We
have too many injuries."
Although the conference playoffs
are quite a way in the future, Nix
said, "I'm not concerned with the
playoffs. It looks now like at best
we'll have a slim chance. All we
can do right now is play out the rest
of our season. I think we're only
wishing and hoping if we look to the
playoffs. We need a hot streak, and
some of the top teams need to start
losing if we want to make the
playoffs."
The Tigers will travel this week­end
to Mobile to take on the
nationally ranked University of
South Alabama, who was ranked
28th in the nation, as of last week.
Officials at South Alabama com­mented
that their national ranking
is two weeks old, and that by the
time Auburn gets to town, the new
national rankings will have been
published.
South Alabama is led in the
hitting department by junior
Wayne Larker. Larker plays first
base and is presently hitting .411.
Junior Keith Levens is also a
South Alabama hitting leader.
Levens is batting .396 and plays
outfield defensively.
Another junior, Rick Kearns, is
benind Levens in the hitting cate­gory.
Kearns is also an outfielder,
but he is hitting .348.
Keith Molar, also a junior out­fielder,
is batting fourth in the
averages for South Alabama. Mo­lar's
batting average is .347.
Last of the hitting leaders is
j jnior shortstop John Uvodich who
is batting at an average of .327.
Leading pitchers for South Ala­bama
rank as follows. Junior
Larry Freeburg is 2-1 so far this
season and has a 2.22 ERA. An­other
junior Herman West, is 3-2
overall.
Other leaders are junior Jim
Lincoln and Danny Barren, who is
2-0 this season.
South Alabama now has a 15-8
overall record this season, and is
finishing up a two-game stand
tonight with LSU, another SEC foe.
After sweeping the Alabama
Crimson Tide last weekend at
home in three games, the South
Alabama team is looking for a split
with Auburn, if they can't win both
games.
Auburn's next home game will be
on April 16 against Jacksonville
State. The next home SEC match
for the Tigers will be against
Mississippi State on April 21 and 22.
The Tigers will play two games on
April 21, and one game on April 22.
Auburn will have an 11 game
homestand starting April 21, teams
that will visit Auburn will include
Mississippi State, South Alabama,
Birmingham Southern, LSU and
Troy State.
Auburn's 1979 baseball season
will end on May 15, after an away
game with Georgia Tech Univers­ity
in Atlanta.
Officials at South Alabama said
the weather in the Mobile area has
been overcast, but they are confi­dent
the Auburn games will be
played as scheduled.

The Auburn Plainsman Friday, April IS, 1979 B-2
Tennis team places third at Crimson Classic
By Ed Moore
Plainsman Sports Writer
Behind a strong performance in
the preliminaries and semi-finals,
Auburn's tennis team finished
third last weekend in the seven-team
"Crimson Tide Classic."
Alabama won the tournament
with 13 points, followed by South­ern
Illinois with 12, and Auburn
with 11. Florida finished fourth
with 10 after losing three out of four
head-to-head matches to Auburn.
Auburn led after the first two
days of the three-day tournament,
but faltered in the finals. The third
day was rained out at Tuscaloosa
and had to be played indoors at
Birmingham, which hurt the
Tigers.
"It was a good effort," Auburn
Tennis Coach Steve Beeland said.
"We needed it. It was one of the
best performances one of our
teams has had in a tournament. I
was pleased we played as well as
we did, but we folded in the finals.''
Beeland was particularly
pleased with the head-to-head
match-ups with Florida, the Au­burn
coach's alma mater.
"This was the first time one of
my teams has beaten Florida, a
perennial power In the SEC. We
really knocked them out of it when
we beat them in head-on competi­tion,"
he said.
In individual competition, Derek
Tarr won the championship in the
number one division. Tarr defeated
Joe Harvey of Alabama 7-6, 6-3 in
the first round; defeated Kevin
Cook of Florida 6-7, 6-3, 6-4 in the
semi's; and won the tournament
with a final round defeat of Jeff
Lubner of SIU 6-3, 6-4.
"Tarr's performance was a high
point," Beeland said. "He blew
him out."
In the number two division Bud
Cox upset the number one seed in
the first round before losing in the
finals to Cuan Neethling of Ala­bama
6-1, 6-1.
Nix Stutsman at number three
upset the number one seed Colin
McAplin of Florida 6-1, 6-2, before
losing in the semi-finals.
Auburn "got a real good sur­prise,"
from Collin Smith as he
defeated the number one seed at
number four, John Evert of Ala­bama,
6-1, 6-4, before losing in the
finals to Mark Rosenthal of Flori­da,
6-0, 6-2. '
Chip McCarthy reached the
semi-finals before losing, and Clay­ton
Taylor lost In the first round.
Auburn still had a chance to win
the tournament, but had a poor
performance in doubles competi­tion.
Tarr-Cox made the finals, but
lost there to Lubner-Kennerly of
SIU 6-1, 6-1.
The number two and three
doubles team lost in the first round.
"We could have won the tourna­ment
if we would have won one of
those," Beeland said.
This weekend is an important
one for the Tiger tennis team as
they play at home against Vander-bilt
on Friday and LSU on Satur­day.

southeastern Conference Champion
in the high jump event. He said
Valentine is on the verge of making
a breakthrough in his event.
Valentine came to Auburn four
years ago after being recruited by
former Assistant Track Coach Jerry
Smith and Rosen himself. The sen­ior
said, "Auburn is a good school;
it's in the south, and that's where I
wanted to be. I didn't want to go up
north to school."
Will came to Auburn because he
said he liked Coach Rosen. "I like
Rosen, and I liked Coach Smith, who
was here before Coach Mike Muska.
Smith was a good recruiter and he
signed me to a scholarship."
"I picked track," said Will, "be­cause
in football they made us run
a lot, and a shot putter doesn't have
to run that mucn. I also have been
throwing the discus, and recently
I've been doing well at that."
Will said when he came to Auburn
he had a choice between Cornell and
Auburn. He said he considered
Cornell seriously but decided to
attend Auburn.
Auburn's high jumper, Valentine
said, "I get along better with Coach
Rosen now, but my real coach is
Rob, he has helped me a lot."
Valentine said his fondest mem­ory
at Auburn was last year's
Conference Meet where he jumped 7
feet 1 inch in the high jump event.
Until his graduation in the winter
of next year, Valentine will stay at
Auburn and study in the Ethology
field, which he described as study­ing
animal behavior. Valentine is in
his last year of eligibility at Auburn,
so this year's outdoor track season
will be his last.
After leaving Auburn, Valentine
said he hopes to get a job in the
animal behavior field. He said most
of the work in this area is done as
field work and research.
Will is in his final quarter at
Auburn. Will's major is applied
math, and after he graduates he
would like to stay here and be a
graduate assistant in the mathe­matics
department.
As for their performances while at
Auburn, Valentine said, "I haven't
been as good as I could be, I'm
capable of jumping 7 feet 3 inches or
7 feet 4 inches. Last year I was
jumping like this, and now I'm just
as strong as that. The only thing
that's wrong is my approach; I have
to work on that."
Valentine said he has a lot of good
friends on the team. He also said,
"The future of Auburn track I don't
think will be that good. When you
recruit, you won't have the in­centives
like Harvey Glance and
James Walker. These are big names
that everyone knows. I also think
teams in the near future won't do as
well at the NCAA meets, because
there won't be Auburn people there
to win events. I think we will stay
just as strong in SEC competition
though.
"The facilities here are pretty
good," said Valentine. "The indoor
facilities could be better, you can't
use spikes on the track and that's
bad. LSU has a nice indoor track,
probably the nicest in the confer­ence
league, while Tennessee's
track is small like ours."
