The strike ends;
workers return
By Dave White and
Dewey English
Plainsman Staff Writers
Auburn University's striking
hourly wage workers voted to
return to work yesterday during a
special 1:30 p.m. union meeting at
at a local nightspot.
The decision ended a seven-day
walkout by as many as 300 work­ers.
"The workers overwhelmingly
agreed to go back to work," said
Guy Tipton, assistant business
manager of Laborers International
Union of North America, local 246,
which represents a large number
of Auburn's hourly employees.
The vote to return to work
followed a meeting between Au­burn
University President Harry
Philpott and chief union steward
Tommy Williams at 11 a.m. yes­terday
in Langdon Hall.
Philpott had originally called the
meeting in an effort to speak to all
strikers, but Williams was the only
one who showed up.
Other strikers said they refused
to attend because they had heard
LIU officials would be barred if
they attempted to enter the build­ing.
"He acknowledged that we had
problems," said Williams, about
his conversation with Philpott. "He
and I agreed that we could have
some more talks."
Philpott said the workers "had
my assurance that we would con­tinue
to work on problems they
may have," and that "we will treat
them fairly."
Philpott said all striking workers
would be rehired, if they reported
back to the personnel office before
4:30 p.m. yesterday, but that "dis­ciplinary
action would be taken
against the strikers.
The University sent 256 mail-grams
to trikers, signed by Phil­pott,
stating that they would be
"terminated" if they did not report
to work before 4:30 p.m. yesterday.
Williams said "employees will
have to take three working days
without pay in the near future,"
and would be "put on 180-day
probation."
Williams said the probation
meant that "if you screw up, they'll
ship you out."
"They gave us concessions and
we gave them some too," he added.
The striking workers did not
receive an 8 percent across the
board pay increase, one of their
strike demands, but were assured
by Philpott that all employees
would receive a 5 percent cost of
living increase and that the merit
system of pay raises would be
reviewed next year.
"Williams told me that there
were some people that did not get
the 5 percent increase," said Phil­pott.
"Anybody that did not get a
minimum of 5 percent is to
report to the personnel office.
We're going to raise them to 5
percent," he said.
Philpott said the merit raise
system "would be open for discus­sion
in another year."
"They didn't feel it was ad­ministered
fairly," said the presi­dent.
"We'll look into that...it may
be the cause that some of our
procedures need to be improved."
Both Williams and Philpott said •
that other areas of contention,
including new uniforms and food
cost deductions from paychecks,
would be dicussed in future meet­ings.
Philpott said that no definite
meeting schedules have been es­tablished,
but that future discus­sions
will involve himself, director
of University personnel service
Robert Schultz, administrative
vice-president Dr. Ben Lanham,
president assistant Dr. Harold
Grant and other "internal person­nel,"
including union and non­union
University employees.
"We'll negotiate with any of our
employees - union and non-union,
he said, "We'll sit down and talk
about problems and try to resolve
them."
Williams said that "communica­tion
was one of the biggest prob­lems
we had...we felt we couldn't
get certain problems solved
through Schultz."
Philpott said he hadn't talked to
hourly employees before the strike,
noting that "maybe I should have
done it earlier."
"I have people who are supposed
to be working closely with these
problems, and I have to rely on
them," said Philpott.
Homecoming
stars Jerry Jeff
The Interfraternity Council an­nounced
yesterday that it has
signed progressive country artist
Jerry Jeff Walker and the new
southern rock group Le Roux to
perform at the annual Homecom­ing
concert on Oct. 27 in Memorial
Coliseum.
According to IFC President Lar­ry
Stutts, the concert is being
co-promoted by the IFC and Reg-ant
Concerts.
Ticket prices have been set at $6
and $7 and Stutts said that tickets
will go on sale ' 'approximately two
weeks prior to the concert."
The UPC, meanwhile, announced
Monday that tickets for the Com­modores
concert on Oct. 20 will go
on sale next week. (See related

Philpott walks, f. 919
By Dave White
News Editor
Last Tuesday night, University
President Harry M. Philpott deci­ded
to take a walk around campus,
a walk that may have ended the
week-long strike by some 250 of the
University's hourly employees.
' 'I went out last night for a couple
of hours to talk to pickets," said
Philpott Wednesday afternoon.
"I knew they were forced with a
4:30 deadline, and thought I could
be of some help," continued the
President.
University officials, with Phil-pott's
permission, told strikers
they would be "terminated" if they
didn't return to work before 4:30
p.m. yesterday.
"We weren't anxious to termi­nate
anybody," said the president.
"Some of those folks were peo;'e
who'd been here many years."
Philpott said he and strikers
swapped questions and discussion
for hours Tuesday night in what he
said was "just a bull session."
The president said he was
"asked to speak to a group of
strikers Wednesday morning while
talking Tuesday night, and that I
decided to do so."
When he arrived at Langdon Hall
yesterday morning, one lone stri­ker
showed up to meet him-chief
steward Tommy Williams.
"He obviously came as a repre­sentative
of the workers," said
Philpott. "I wouldn't have negoti­ated
with the union."
Most of the former strikers are
members of local 246 of the Labor­ers
International Union (L.I.U.).
"I will negotiate with any of our
employees, union and non-union,"
said Philpott. "We'll sit down and
talk about problems and try to
resolve them."
"I'll talk or take action when
necessary, but not under signed
contract," he added.
Philpott and Williams talked and
took action yesterday morning,
although Philpott admitted that
he had not talked to any hourly
employees before the strike.
"Maybe I should have done it
earlier," he said, "but you really,
can't tell what effect it had."
Philpott said "in my opinion,"
the termination deadline played a
"bigger part" in resolving the
strike than his night time diplo­macy.
Workers at the University of
Alabama, however, ignored a simi­lar
ultimatum aimed at them
during a brief strike last August,
and were rehired after the walkoff.
Williams, when asked Wednes­day
night whether the 4:30 p.m.
deadline affected the strike's re­solution,
answered with a resound­ing
"No."
He said his discussion with Phil­pott
yesterday morning was "very
important" in resolving the walk-off.
Talking about his Tuesday night
walk-around, Philpott said, "I hope
that it showed that we're not a big
institution that doesn't care about
them (the workers.)."
Construction upsets merchants
By Vickey Hunt
Plainsman Staff Writer
"It's like Auburn's trying its
darndest to close down business,"
said one downtown merchant.
"There's just no rhyme or reason
about it," said another.
Obviously, the beautification
construction now going on in Au­burn
is a controversial matter.
"They tear up one section a.w\
then go work on another. My shop
was virtually closed for two
weeks," said Jack Duckworth,
owner of Gemini Photographies.
"The only information I've got­ten
was from the men working,"
Duckworth said.
He said he was promised "plenty
of lead time" by the city council as
to knowing when construction
would begin in the vicinity of his
store.
Mack Lipscomb, owner of Toom-er's
Drugs, said he also wished the
project had been coordinated
better.
Lipscomb said the sidewalk in
front of his store had been taken up
a month ago and he didn't know
when it will be replaced.
"Most of the people who know
we're here come on, but we haven't
had any of the normal new student
business," he said, "It would be
easy for a person passing in a car
to think we're closed."
Frank Scully, director of Au­burn's
board of community devel­opment,
said he has no criticism of
the work being done by the Hen­derson
and Coker Company of
Alexander City.
"The merchants were advised
that this was an extensive under­taking
and couldn't be done over­night,"
noted Scully.
Although the project is more
than half finished, Scully said he
doesn't expect the contractor to
finish before the contract deadline.
' 'The contractor has not missed a
day of work except for the two legal
holidays since the beginning of this
construction," said Scully.
"We need some patience and
understanding on the part of the
downtown merchant,'' he added.
Scully said the 150-day project,
which cost more than $600,000,
began June 12.
He said the project requires
extensive above ground excavation
for the new sidewalks, ramps and
steps, as well as the laying of
underground conduit for the wiring
of the new traffic lights.
He noted that he has been in day
to day contact with the merchants
and knows of no instance in which a
store had to close because of the
construction unless the merchant
volunteered to close while the
concrete was being poured in front
of his store.
The reason Scully gave for the
150 day limit on the construction
was to get a better price from a
contractor. He said a 90-day con­tract
would increased the price
proportionally.
Inspector says
War Eagle safe
By Mark Winne
Plainsman Staff Writer
A Lee County Health Department inspector said all
of Auburn University's cafeterias were inspected the
day after a Plainsman story appeared Sept. 28
revealing several violations of state health regulations
by both the university and the health department.
Two days before the story appeared, head county
sanitarian James Wilson had said the county would
not be able to inspect the cafeterias again until about
the second week in October.
War Eagle Cafeteria, which had failed a July state
inspection with 44 demerits, received a passing score
of 16 on the Friday inspection. That was its lowest
score this year. The highest score Friday was 18
demerits to Terrell Cafeteria.
University sanitarian Doug Diamond, who accom­panied
the inspectors, said they didn't seem lenient
because of the criticism the Plainsman had levied.
Diamond said county officials had first mentioned
they would inspect last week about Tuesday, which is
when the Plainsman requested to check records. "I'd
been after them for quite a while," he said.
If the inspections were not done by Saturday, the
cafeterias could not have been issued health permits,
which are necessary for legal operation. The permits
were issued Friday for the cafeterias.
Late-night eateries the Quiet Appetite and Filling
Station still have not been inspected and issued
permits. Diamond confirmed that none of the school's
fraternity kitchens have been inspected for new
permits, so all of them are operating illegally.
Wilson said the county is understaffed and will
inspect commercial establishments which need the
permits to get business licenses before it inspects the
fraternity kitchens.

We don't have to toot our horn about breaking into
the Top 20 this week, because this gentleman from
Virginia Tech will do it for us. Coach Barfield said he
was asked by his players what they had to do to make
it into the poll, and he told them, "Keep winning."
Here's hoping the football team can keep up its
winning streak by beating Miami at Jordan-Hare this
week.

Strike end surprises all
By Dewey English
Executive Editor
From listening to striking Au­burn
University non-budgeted
employees talk and joke yester­day
morning at 10 a.m., there
seemed to be little if any chance
they would be back to work a scant
five hours later.
Nearly all of the estimated
280 strikers had received mail-grams
from the University stating
they would be "terminated" unless
they were back on the job at 4:30
p.m. that afternoon.
Most workers apparently took
the threat lightly. Some were even
laughing about the mailgrams.
"I guess they figured we were
running out of toilet paper," said
one striker.
The workers had been told seve­ral
times to expect the University's
action by officials of their union,
Laborers International Union of
North America, local 246.
The same tactic was used three
months ago during a maintenance
workers strike at the University of
Alabama, but the employees were
rehired after a settlement was
reached.
"When you fire a man you've
done all you can do," said Bruce
Carr, an LIU international rep­resentative.
"We're not really concerned
about it. Some folks felt like it's the
third time they've been fired: first
with the walkout, then the notice to
get off university property and now
this.
Auburn University was talking
tough Wednesday morning. Yet,
there had been no major violence
and Auburn officials repeatedly
said the school didn't need it and
would not stand for it.
On Sept. 29, the strike entered
its second day, the University
announced it would provide a
"secure parking area" patrolled
by guards, for all employees.
Later, Pinkerton Security Person­nel
were brought to the central
campus while strikers holding
down picket lines were asked to
leave.
In a press release, the University
stated some non-budgeted em­ployees
who had refused to join the
strike had been "harassed" by
strikers.
The union then moved its pickets
to the fringe areas of campus,
where they walked up and down the
sidewalks and curbs with signs
across their chests 24 hours a day.
Although the strike had been
relatively quiet one from the onset,
Carr said Wednesday morning the
termination notices might bring on
the violence no one wanted.

Officials planned University strike strategy
By Dave White
News Editor
Since last Thursday's walk off by
as many as 300 University hourly-wage
workers ' until the strike's
settlement yesterday afternoon,
special assistant to the president
Dr. Harold Grant "coordinated
efforts to keep the University
functioning,'' according to Univer­sity
President Harry M. Philpott.
Philpott said Grant was tabbed
to direct school functions during a
strike under a "plan of operations"
developed early in September by
Philpott and other University offi­cial.
Last Tuesday, Grant said he was
working "almost 24 hours a day,"
and Philpott said he had heard of
Grant staying in his office continu­ously
for several days during the
strike.
Grant kept a "scoreboard" in his
office during the last week, said
Philpott, which recorded the daily
numbers of workers out on strike,
their jobs, and their job locations.
Philpott said deans and depart­ment
heads were asked not to
make comments about the strike,
(and to allow University Relations
to ' 'sift through all information and
present a clear picture" to the
press.
Not all the pictures were all that
clear. White told a Montgomery
Advertiser correspondent that "the
rivalry which exists between
Miami and Auburn" was partially
responsible for "volunteer" stu­dent
patrols around the football
stadium.
NOT ASKING FOR ANY HANDOUT
...Striking workers fail to gain much student support
Photography: Gorton Bugg
Sacrifices profitable, some say;
other strikers refuse to comment
By Julie Spafford
Assistant News Editor
Striking workers hovered around
Langdon Hall Wednesday after­noon
as the five-day strike of non-budgeted
employees came to a
close.
Most of the workers refused to
comment on the settlement they
received.
The ones who did offer their
comment said they felt the strike
was wortn it, and one worker said
he would do it again "if neces­sary."
When asked how the strike af­fected
his family and home-life, he
said, "It didn't bother them. It was
hard on me!"
But did the strike hurt him
financially?
"No," he said. "It was only five
days, and we got paid for Friday."
The chief union steward, Tommy
Williams, said he felt the strike
accomplished a lot. He said, "It
showed that the people at Auburn
do have a problem. It hurt us, but it
hurt them (the administration),
too.
"I'd like to thank President
Philpott for talking with me. It was
a big step for him to take."
Williams said he would like to see
these kind of talks continue, and
said he felt that if they would, there
would be no more strikes.

The jobs of Grant and White were
radically affected by the strike, as
were the functions of Campus
Security and Auburn's legal coun­sel.
"We had extra security on cam­pus,
"said Philpott. "You have to
take precautions in a situation like
• this, but there really hasn't been
any hindrance to University func­tions."
Campus Security, Auburn city
police and state patrols all ap­peared
on campus during the last
week. Philpott added that a guard
was posted by the main campus
electric transformer throughout
the strike.
University lawyer Thomas Sam-ford
was also aided during the
strike, when he hired labor rela­tions
expert James Walters, from
Atlanta's Fischer and Phillips law
firm.
Samford said Walters was "advi­sing
the University in its actions
taken in the strike."
Philpott said Walters was hired
because he "didn't want to violate
someone's civil rights and have a
suit against me," adding that
Walters and Samford were to keep
the University from "doing any­thing
wrong.''
District Laborers International
Union (L.I.U.) official Bruce Carr,
who coordinated union-member
strikers on campus, called Walters
a "high-powered, union busting"
lawyer.
Walters advised the University
on the "termination" mailgrams it
sent to University personnel Mon­day.
Philpott said Grant, personnel
director Robert Schultz, adminis­trative
vice-president Dr. Ben Lan-ham
and "counsel" agreed to send
the mailgrams, adding that final
approval was up to him.
He said issuing ultimatums to
workers to return by a certain date
or be fired was "validated from a
legal standpoint" in a strike at the
University of Alabama in Birming­ham
(UAB) in 1975.
Philpott said "at least 20 workers
were not re-employed" at UAB
when they failed to return to work
from a strike on time.
"I want to pay tribute to those
employees that stayed on the job,"
he said. "That group of people
really made it possible for us to
continue to function."
He added that from three-fifths
to two-thirds of all hourly wage
workers stayed on the job.
Philpott also noted that "Those
on strike conducted themselves in
a very exemplary manner...they
were a very well behaved groups."

Applause
Is applause necessary, or even proper,
when a strike is over? In Auburn University's
case, it is, and we applaud both school
officials and the striking non-budgeted
employees for coming to terms and ending a
controversy which, only yesterday morning
seemed to have no solution.
It would be hard for us to point a guilty
finger at either side. Both made mistakes.
Perhaps it was only fitting there weren't any
winners or losers when it all was over.
?
Both strikers and administrators just
seemed happy the walkout was ended, and
why not?
Those who struck are back at work today,
doing all those things the six-day ruckus left
undone and those who make university policy
are in their offices working again to build an
even better university.
And for a change, no one is worried about
some picket line. If channels of communica­tion
ate kept open, no one will have to worry
about them again.
We need money
The sun is shining on the Plains. The
football team is ranked 19th nationally after a
3-0 start, and two Auburn graduates, Fob
James and George McMillan, will almost
certainly occupy the highest state offices in
January.
But there's still one big black cloud
hanging around that's been here for years.
Auburn is dead last in state appropriated
funds per weighted credit hour. All 13 of the
other state universiries were granted more
money per weighted hour taught this year for
operations and management. Last year
Auburn finished 13th out of 14 in appropri­ations
per credit hour. This year, after the
special legislative session, Auburn had fallen
to undisputed last place.
Lt. Gov. Jere Beasley said last spring
during the regular legislative session that
Auburn was not getting all the mileage it
could out of its lobby effort. "It (the lobby
effort) should be potent, but it's never
utilized," Beasley said. "They generally
haven't asked for much help."
Beasley said he felt the best lobbying
should be done in the legislators' home
counties by Auburn people there. "The
people are there willing to work, " Beasley
said.
But according to Beasley and Auburn
Alumni Association officials, those people's
help has not been actively sought.
Auburn people all over the state are
excited about the new state administration.
With two Auburn men in Montgomery, they
said, we're sure to get plenty of money.
But it won't work like that unless the
Auburn lobby effort is strengthened.
We have our best opportunity in years to
try to alleviate the unfair appropriation of the
education budget. We should take advant­age
of it.
Not just jocks
In any other college town, football players
are known as jocks and treated as such. And
their coaches are seen only from the stands on
Saturday afternoon.
It's nice to know Auburn is different.
In Auburn, the football coach and players
arc known as members of the campus and the
community. Coach Doug Barfield didn't shy
away from the chance to get to know the
students better by talking with a group
Monday on the Union Building Concourse.
In fact, he plans to make the talks weekly
events.
And six Auburn football players, as
members of the community, were ushers ar
the Auburn Methodist Church services
Sunday morning,
We're glad members of our football team
and coaching staff don't feel so proud that
they should be on display only on Saturday,
but that they can be "one of us."
Left at Toomer's .
We always wanted to do it, but we never
thought it possible. But the Auburn City
Council voted Tuesday night to allow left
turns at Toomer's corner.
The change, if properly instituted with left
turn lights, will be a great convenience to all,
and we applaud the Council for its action.
At the same meeting, the City Council
\oted to change the direction of Tichenor
Street, thus removing a traffic light from
College Street and alleviating congestion on
Nbrth College.
Both changes should make driving in
Auburn safer and easier for all.
Thanks, gang
This isn't the best way I could come up
with to thank a super staff for a super paper,
but it seemed appropriate at the time. Last
week, eight Plainsman staff members were
up all night Wednesday making sure you got
a paper Thursday morning. Four of those
were up until 5 a.m. the morning before.
A special thanks to The Auburn Bulletin
staff, our printers, for a great job overall—
especially the color pictures.
And thanks also to our typesetters, who
worked overtime with no mention of striking.

Owens were in big trouble
Except for the picketers standing at the
outskirts of campus last week, business was
usual at Auburn. But for the Owens .things
were anything but usual.
The Owens were in trouble—big trouble.
Jack Owens, husband, father of three, and
an Auburn University employee for 16 years,
almost lost his job yesterday. He would have
been out on the streets for the first time since
he graduated from high school.
Mona Owens, wife and mother of three, now
would have to figure out how to balance the
family budget with zero income.
Jack Jr., 15 oldest son and brother of two,
was looking for a parttime job to help out. He
wanted to find a full time job so he could really
pull the family through, but his parents said
his high school grades came first.
Jack went on strike last Thursday. He felt
he was being treated unfairly by the Univer­sity.
He thought he should have been getting
paid more for his skills.
Jack's an electrician. When he graduated
from high school, he didn't know an amp from a
fuse. But he learned, and he got a job with an
area electrical firm.
Jack didn't make much money when he first
started. He didn't know enough to earn much.
But as the years passed he became more
skilled until, when he left in 1963, he was
making $7.15 per hour.
Jack had to leave his job because of health
reasons. He was doing a lot of traveling,
installing large electrical systems, but his
doctor advised him not to travel any more.
That's when Jack came to Auburn looking
for a job, and found it. The University offered
him $3 per hour. Jack couldn't find another job
at the time, so he took it.
Dick
Parker
Mona found a job to help ends meet, but
when Jack Jr. came along soon afterward, she
had to give up her job to stay with him.
Jack kept putting in his hours, and got
regular raises, but his paycheck last Friday
was still less than his last paycheck with the
firm he worked for 15 years ago. And the
family has grown to five.
President Harry M. Philpott told Jack, and
all the other hourly wage earners on campus,
that he would get an 8 percent raise this year.
That made Jack happy. With two more
children, now, he needed the raise badly.
But President Philpott went back and
restated the raise policy. He said he had
misstated the percentage, and that workers
would actually be guaranteed only a 5 percent
raise. Merit raise in varying amounts would
make the average raise per worker about 8
percent, Philpott said.
Jack didn't like that proposal so much. He
felt, as did many of his co-workers, that there
should be an across the board raise for all
employees.
"If you work with these percentages," Jack
said, "the rich get richer, and the poor get
poorer. The more money you make now, the
larger your raise will be. So the guys who don't
make a lot now are left out."
"On top of that," Jack said, "a lot of the
workers didn't even get 5 percent like they
promised."
So Jack stood out on the corner trying to get
support from anywhere he could to help him
convince the University that its labor practices
were unfair.
That help may have come Tuesday night in
the person of President Philpott. Philpott went
around Tuesday night and talked to a lot of
strikers trying to find out if there were any
way to get them back to work, and to,
basically, talk straight with the workers,
workers.
Jack said he talked with the president for an
hour or more and tried to explain his
predicament, and that of other striking
workers. Had the University not made some
changes, Jack would not have returned to
work.
The University looked strong. It could
probably have withstood a longer strike. It had
hired students parttime to fill in for striking
workers. And many of the workers decided not
to go out at all, making the strike even less
effective.
But the University didn't call Jack's hand
yesterday. If it had, he would probably have
lost. It gave a little, and Jack only lost a week's
pay.
Strike talk has come up in the past at
Auburn. This is the first time workers have
actually walked out. Jack Owens hopes its the
last.
Auburn almost lost a good man yesterday—a
lot of good men and women. They had the
willpower and determination to stick their jobs
on the line for what they thought was right.
Auburn University should feel proud to have
them back.

'Auburn circumventing health regulations'
Last week, the Plainsman reported several
violations of state health laws by both Auburn
University and the Lee County Health
Department. If the constraints of objective
journalism did not let it be made clear, War
Eagle Cafeteria in July was in such cruddy
condition that the state law demanded that it
be immediately closed down.
But War Eagle was not closed down. No
action was taken at all. A Lee County Health
official, seemingly appalled upon learning
nothing had been done, said, with a great sense
of urgency and authority in his voice, that a
warning notice should have been served on
War Eagle right away. Seven days later,
asserted the official, a follow-up inspection
should have made sure corrective measures
had been taken.
Boy, that's the stuff, isn't it. That's the
get-tough attitude we need from our public
officials, right?
Not by a longshot. Get-tough my foot. A
warning notice to War Eagle would have been
like letting a bank robber go free on the
condition he returns the money. They violated
health laws and they should have paid the
penalty. And the only penalty the law allowed
for was immediate shut-down.
Why wasn't it shut down? Any official
explanation from either the administration or
the health department will rest on some kind
of extenuating circumstances: probably the
University's good record or its usually-strong
prevention program.
Good for the University. Maybe none of
their cafeterias will fail another inspection. But
the health regulations, hopefully, were arrived
at by knowledgeable men with reasons for
what they were doing. They must have
decided that any food-service establishment
with more than 40 insepction demerits (War
Eagle got 44) must be so filthy it's almost sure
to pose a public health hazard.
Where do local health officials get off
presuming to know more than the conferences
of health experts who devised the health laws?
And besides, the law is the law, and it becomes
worthless if is is ignored, or administered only
discriminately or arbitrarily.
Health officials, not only in Lee County but
throughout the state, seem to think the
regulations are inappropriate. They say they
can't go around closing down restaurants and
supermarkets right and left, because, after all,
the owners would lose lots of money.
Well, justice, kind-hearted guardians of
public-health, is occasionally harsh, but not
nearly so harsh as the consequences when
justice is denied. The owners, to preserve
precious profits, need only meet health
Mark
Winne
standards that hundreds of other establish­ments
also meet.
The July incident at War Eagle Cafeteria is
just part of a premeditated collusion between
the Lee County Health Department to avoid
the spirit, and often the letter, of Alabama s
health laws.
The roots of the conspiracy, according to one
county official, are part of the troubling legacy
of Dr. Garth Jarvis, the former Health Center
director who resigned under fire in 1977.
Jarvis, claims this official, wanted the Univer­sity
to assume responsibility for inspection of
its own facilities.
To be sure, Superfoods, Stokers and the rest
would just love to inspect themselves too. Still,
the county, for the most part, went along with
Jarvis' alleged request. The University hired
its own sanitarian to do the follow-up and
enforcement at University facilities.
Make no mistake about it. By any reliable
standard, Doug Diamond is a capable and
effective sanitarian. The school's fraternity
kitchens have improved immeasurably since
Diamond's arrival in 1974, and he has a
knowledge and a respect for his profession that
is admirable. And there is still plenty for him
to do besides the once , maybe twice-a-month
inspections that the county is supposed to be
making.
Diamond's bosses are the same people he's
supposed to be policing, and as such they can
stifle his decisions if they hit too close to home.
The merits, however, of this arragement
matter little. Auburn University, bastion of
goodness it purports to be, should seemingly
hold law in great reverence.
Right now, where health inspections are
concerned, Auburn University has actively
sought to circumvent it.
Letters Moron asks for student volunteers
Thursday, October 5, 1978 A-5
Vice president invites
students to help SGA
Editor, The Plainsman:
Last spring after the SGA elections were
over and the new officers took office, I made a
plea to my fellow students to get out and get
involved in their government associations. The
response was overwhelming. We had more
people apply than we had positions to fill.
We tried to accomodate everyone and put
them on a committee or place them in an area
of the SGA in which they showed an interest.
At that time we felt for the first time in recent
years that students were beginning to get
behind and support the SGA.
The last few years the SGA hasn't received
high recognition or favorable nraise from the
fellow students it represents. We are and have
been the only means lor students to voice an
opinion and be heard on the different issues
that may confront them.
This year's SGA has made great strides in
trying to improve communications and rela­tions
with the different faculty and adminis­trative
officials. Interdepartmental relations is
an area that we felt needed a lot of
improvement if we are ever going to be an
effective voice for the students.
Not only is the SGA getting the outside
support it so badly needed in the past couple of
years, but relations from within are at an
all-time high. All the elected officers and
appointed cabinet positions seem to get along
extremely well in a working atmosphere.
There is no friction between the different
major offices, a situation that has been quite
rare in the past.
Jeff Stone, President of the SGA, is doing a
marvelous job. He has worked diligently
putting in long hours trying to tie up the many
loose ends that have existed in the SGA for
several years.
We believe that this 78-79 year is going to be
a banner year with Auburn University
excelling in many areas. Already the football
team has kicked off a successful season and
with the winning of the SEC All-Sports trophy
last spring. Auburn is truly on the rise and
your SGA is going to be part of this new spirit
at Auburn.
The SGA is an organization created and
existing solely for the purpose of helping and
bettering the Auburn students. Our doors are
always open to y'all and if you want to see your
government association in progress, come by
and visit the Student Senate which meets
every Monday night at 7:00 in room 321 of the
Union building.

'No pressure from realtors
to make campaign restrictions'
Editor, The Plainsman:
Last week's Plainsman carried two stories
concerning student elections. One article by
Ann Hecht was superb. It told the story just
like it was, and she didn't try to make any
more out of the story than there was.
The other article was a little less than great.
The article said that the SGA was under
pressure from the realtors to restrict cam­paigns.
Well, I can't really call the realtors
tactics pressure, however, we the SGA, have
tried to get in touch with Bonny Miller and the
other realtors, though so far we have had no
response.
The restrictions for campaigns were written
before the realtors ever contacted the SGA. I,
personally, have written two pages of propos­als
that, hopefully, will pass through the
Student Senate later on this quarter.
My point is that the SGA is not changing
election laws because of pressure. We are
trying to change them because of a need. A
need by the students, faculty and townspeople
to clean up the litter and the trouble of
elections.
The changes made for Miss Homecoming
elections, the first that I have every proposed,
have been evaluated by many people. Before I
proposed them to the Senate, I talked to some
former Miss Homecoming candidates who
were 100 percent in favor of the changes.
Hopefully, in the future we can clean up the
elections so that the fun is still left for the
candidate, the pain is left out for the rest of the
people, and most of all, the best candidate will
be elected to office.

'Orange throwing incident shows
poor unsportsmanlike conduct
Editor, The Plainsman:
It appears that a handful of unthinking
students here at Auburn have shown a side of
the Auburn spirit one would hope was not even
present. The thought that this childish display
may have been on regional TV sickens me.
The incident to which I refer took place in
Birmingham this past Saturday at the AU-UT
football game. As the Tennessee team entered
the field before the game, in front of the
Auburn cheering section, they were showered
by a barrage of oranges, evidently in
retaliation for similar shameful exhibitions to
which our own team has been subjected in
recent years. It appears that Auburn has come
down to the level of other schools for which
such conduct is notorious.
In my years as an Auburn student, I always
took pride in the fact that it was the other
schools which displayed such a blatant and
disgusting lack of class and good sportsman­ship.
It depresses me that those whose contact
with Auburn is nominal, have seen a repre­sentation
of the school which speaks poorly of
not only the individuals who participated, but
also the entire institution.
Had such action been taken against me as a
player, it would have served only to fire me up
to play that much harder; one could see how it
could prove detrimental to our team on the
field.
I hope that the Auburn spirit has not come
to the point of childish conduct and unsports­manlike
behavior so painfully evident at other
schools. I would hope that we demonstrate
that the Auburn spirit is still what we have
known it to be: Pride in our school and what it
represents, and undying support for the same.
Joe Hastings, 3VM
Editor, The Plainsman:
To Auburn's new students:
Have you ever thought about doing some­thing
to improve the social environment of
your fellow man? When watching the news or
reading the paper, do you ever find yourself -
saying, "If only someone had cared enough tol
take an interest, this person or this situation
could have been very different?" Would you
like to be that someone who cares? You can do
something to help right here in your new
community. The Student Volunteer Services
(SVS) can show you how.
SVS is an organization founded in 1972 by
Auburn University students and supported by
the Office of the President, the Student
Government Association and the Office of
Student Affairs. SVS is not a club one joins;
rather it is a volunteer referral agency which
assists student volunteers in finding relevant
service-learning programs to work with and
assists community service agencies in recruit­ing
volunteers for various community service
needs.
There are many community service agencies
which rely on volunteer help. There are also
many people, such as yourself, who have
talent, enthusiasm and time to volunteer for
the betterment of the whole community. SVS
tries to bring people who can help and people
who need help together. Your talent and time
is needed. Perhaps you feel you have nothing
to offer or too little time to give. If you have
the desire to do more than "breeze through"
the next four years, SVS can help you put that
desire into action. There are needs you can
help meet no matter what talents you have or
do not have.
The basic "talent" needed is a heart that
cares. Limited time is no obstacle either. While
there are service programs requiring regular
weekly commitments, there are others that
need volunteers for special, short-term pro­jects.
Whatever your situation, there is a need
somewhere that you can help meet.
SVS would like to put you into action. For
further information, please complete the
attached form, contact us at 826-5059 24 hours,
or come by Room 339 of the Foy Union
Building from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays. You
will be glad you did, and I can assure you that
someone who needs you will thank you for the
rest of his life. „ , , „ „,

Yes on 23 group wants to abolish income tax
By Lonnie Adamson
Assistant News Editor
A group of Lee County area
people, the Yes on 23 Committee,
have been locally circulating a
petition for the last month advocting
the abolishment of the personal
income tax.
Dr. Douglas Schell, chairman of
the Yes on 23 Committee and
assistant professor in Auburn's
School of Business, said the petition
asks that House Joint Resolution 23,
which advocates abolishing the
personal income tax, be ratified as
an amendment to the constitution.
The resolution says the 16th
Amendment to the Constitution,
which set up the personal income
tax, would be repealed three years
after the resoltion is ratified as an
amendment.
After that three year period, says
the resolution, the United States
Govenment "shall not engage in any
business, professional, commercial,
financial or industrial enterprise
except as specified in the Constitu­tion."
If the amendment is ratified,
Schell said, government offices such
as the Tennessee Valley Authority,
Department of Agriculture, Nation­al
Air Pollution Control Administra­tion,
conrail and many others will
not be able to operate after the three
year period.
Schell said some of the govern­ment
agencies would be b ought by
private organizations if the amend­ment
were ratified.
For Instance, the Tennessee
Valley Authority's equipment might
be bought by a private firm which
would produce electricity.
The agencies which are not
bought fall into disuse with lack of
funding, Schell said. Some agencies
would not be bought because of their
impracticality and wastefulness,
Schell indicated.
Schell said the committee's ulti­mate
goal is to have resolution
ratified as an amendment to the
Constitution.
More immediate goals of the
committee are to get at least a
"quarter of a million" signatures on
the petition in Alabama and at least
5,000 names from Lee County said
Schell.
Schell said he hopes to see the
State Legislature pass the resolu­tion
and add Alabama's names to
the list of eight other states that are
petitioning the U.S. Congress for a
Constitutional Convention.
Ted Little, state senator from
Auburn, said he has some questions
about the resolution. In particular,
Little said he would like to know who
would be allowed to buy the govern­ment
agencies.
Little indicated concern with the
possibility of an Arab country
buying TVA."
He said the committee has col­lected
about 1,300 to 1,400 signatures
throughout Lee County in about a
month.
Republican senatorial candidate
James Martin, according to Schell
supports the Joint Resolution 23.
Schell said the committee has
been going door to door collecting
names, adding 85 percent of the
people approaches door to door sign
the petition.
The committee has also set up
booths at the various malls, Schell
said. Only about 40 percent of the
people who came by the booths
signed the petition, he said.
Three public meetings have been
sponsored by the committee since
Sept. 29, said Schell, adding that
each meeting had about 35
attendants.
At the meetings we explained the
amendments and tried to show the
"larger picture" and the "direction
in which the country is going," said
Schell.
We also ask the people there to get
at least 100 signatures on the peti­tion,
donate $10, recurit three other
people and send a copy of the
petition to friends throughout the
state, Schell said.
ROTC enrollment here rises,
keeps ahead of national norm
By Horis Cook
Intramurals Editor
Keeping slightly ahead of a
similar nationwide trend, enroll­ment
in the three branches of
ROTC at Auburn is increasing
steadily.
Officers in each of the three
programs report that freshman
enrollment this fall should be high­er
than any other post Viet Nam
war year.
When the officers were question­ed
about the reasons for such a
trend, several points were brought
up.
"Many young people are looking
for a challenge and ROTC and the
military offers that," according to
Marine Lt. Col. Tom Sullivan "A
young ensign or lieutenant is given
responsibility and can receive
recognition much earlier than
his civilian counterpart."
"The military has become more
fashionable since the end of Viet
Nam. The publicity of that time
really gave the services a black
eye,"said Air Force Lt. Col. Peter
Henderson. "I think we're dealing
with a different type student than
we've had in previous years. This
student can see the increased
opportunities and scholarships
available, and can also recognize
the higher salaries of an officer
in the All-Volunteer Services "
Army Captain Jim
Wigglesworth cited some other
reasons. "There is a much wider
variety of career speciality fields
open to men and women now than
there was in the past. The era of
Viet Nam is over and today's
student seems to be more concern­ed
about national security.
"Pay and benefits for an officer
are highly competitive and often
surpass comparable private sector
jobs." Wigglesworth also pointed
out, ' 'Many women are finding out
that the military is one place where
they can work and find very little
discrimination.''
Traditionally, Auburn has al­ways
had large and respected
ROTC units. Auburn is currently
one of few schools with all three
branches of ROTC on campus.
These factors make Auburn an
attractive school for the ROTC
student.
There are several points about
the three programs which are
distinctive from one another. Ac­cording
to Wigglesworth, "The
major difference in the Army
program is that a student can go
through Army ROTC who does not
plan to enter the Army on active
duty. A non-scholarship student
can be guaranteed a National
Guard or Reserve assignment upon
graduation before his junior year
in college," he said.
Capt. Wigglesworth went on to
say "Army ROTC is the most
flexible of the services as far as the
student's major is concerned. The
Army has over 50 specialty fields
that can accommodate any major
that Auburn offers. Furthermore,
the Army is more flexible in
allowing students to seek addition­al
degrees before going on active
duty."
Sullivan added "The
unique thing that the Navy offers is
duty at sea-above or below,"
"We offer a selected Air Force
student the chance to obtain his
private license while in school,"
said Henderson. "The mission of
the Air Force is to fly, but non-pilot
officers are not considered second
class citizens in the Air Force."

Students report fight
By Kelly Cooper
Plainsman Staff Writer
Two campus policemen were
engaged in a skirmish with a black
man when he attempted to block
the intersection of Mell and Thach
Street with two University trucks
on Tuesday, Sept. 28 at 10 a.m.,
according to two Auburn Univers­ity
students.
The students said they saw a
man get out of one of the trucks and
take his keys with him.
"I was walking to my 10 o'clock
class when I saw it happen," said
Teresa Sellers. "Two Auburn se­curity
officers were trying to get
the man to move his truck and he
wouldn't. "They were pushing each
other back and forth," she said.
"From what I could tell, the black
man swung at the policeman and
one officer hit him back in the
stomach. The man doubled over."
"It looked like the policemen
were trying to handcuff him," she
continued. "The man kept yelling,
'Why are you doing this to me?' "
Sellers said she did not see all of.
the fight and there were intervals
she might have missed.
Volunteers
recruited
Thirty student volunteers were
recruited by Dr. Albert Sistrunk,
assistant dean of student affairs, to
watch the football stadium Tues­day
night.
The unpaid volunteers were in­structed
to report suspicious activ­ity
to the Campus Security Office
and Physical Plant requested the
volunteers to prevent any vanda­lism
to the stadium.
The operation was canceled with
the news of the strike settlement.
"I was late for class and was
watching them over my shoulder.
It looked like the man started it,
but I might have missed some­thing."
Sellers stressed she only saw
pieces of the skirmish and not the
whole thing.
Campus security chief Millard
Dawson denied any knowledge of
such an incident. He stated Uni­versity
Relations was handling all
information to be released during
the strike. He refused further
comment.
J.H. White, director of Univers­ity
Relations, said he heard rumors
of the skirmish, but said the
university had no proof or know­ledge
of such an incident.
"I called Chief Dawson and he
checked with his officers," White
said. "He said he could find no
substantiation for it all."
Ken Stephens, a Union desk
worker was standing in front of the
Foy Union and saw part of the
incident.
"Two B and G trucks were
parked in the intersection," Ste­phens
recalled. "I saw two Auburn
security officers trying to take the
keys from a man."
"The worker punched one of the
officers in the jaw as he broke free
from the officer who was holding
his arm; I think while they were
trying to handcuff him," he said.
' 'The punch knocked the officer flat
on his tail and his hat few off."
Stephens said he saw the officers
try to restrain the man again.
"I saw the black man grab the
keys from the officer, jump in his
truck and drive away," Stephens
said. "He really went flying down
the street and would have run over
someone if people hadn't gotten out
of the way."
Stephens said the thing that
amazed him the most was the two
security officers couldn't put hand­cuffs
on the man.
Harold Blackwood, photograph­er
for the Glomerata, said he went
to the scene to take pictures of the
trucks blocking the intersection.
"When I walked up I saw a
cherry picker truck and a green B
and G truck parked in the intersec­tion
in front of Mary Martin Hall,"
Blackwood said.
"There were two security offi­cers
directing traffic around the
trucks," he said. "The cherry
picker truck has been sabotaged or
something, because it wouldn't
start, and they had to lift the hood
to fix it."
Blackwood said he left after
taking a few pictures and did not
see any skirmish, but heard about
it later in the day.
According to Mona Overstreet,
Campus security office, no incident
had been reported.

HOW TO BUY A DIAMOND
i
I
I
There are three approaches to
baying a One diamond, or an
exceptional piece of diamond
Jewelry:
1. There is the old fashioned
way of looking for a ring until you
- find' one you like. If it's in your
price range, buy'It.. .enjoy i t . ..
and never look back.
2. Buy from a discount opera­tion.
It's probably been priced
much more than its worth... but
then you can buy it for SO per cent
off.
3. Learn something about dia­monds.
Learn about the cutting,
color, perfection and weight. Use
a microscope and know what to
look for. See a set of "Master
Color S t o n e " . . . and decide which
color will best fit your needs.
Select your unmounted diamond
and then select the exact ring for
the diamond.
At Wares we are more than
willing to take the time to explain
about diamonds.. .yes, we be­lieve
#3 is best. If you do find the
subject of diamonds interesting
.. .and you would like to get the
best possible in a diamond, here
are a few facts which we present
as a service to you.
What color is a diamond?
Diamonds come in all colors...
pale blue, dark blue, yellow, pink,
green. The famous Hope diamond
is a dark blue. But these colors
are called "fancies" and are quite
rare and expensive.
The most prized diamonds to
many are the colorless, or pure
white diamonds. Most diamonds
have a very faint tinge of some
color... usually yellow. WHAT
COLOR SHOULD YOURS BE?
That's up to you. You may feel
you prefer the very finest color...
But it will cost more than a
diamond with a slight color in it.
We have a set of "certified"
diamonds... examples of each
color to assist you in understand­ing
this important point in
selecting a diamond. Once you
have seen all grades you will
better understand color grading
. . . and you will probably be able
to select the grade diamond that
you would prefer comparing
appearance and price.
What Shape is a Diamond?
Any shape. But there are six
shapes you see more of than
others: Brilliant, Marquise, Oval,
Emerald Cut, Pear and Heart
Shape. The Brilliant cut, as you
know, is also called a Round
diamond.
. t f
•in'
Marqu
Cfcal
Emerald Cut
Pear Shape
Heart Shape
How Big is a Diamond?
A diamond's size is measured
by its weight — in carats. There
are 142 carats in an avoirdupois
ounce. Carats are divided into
points — 100 points to the carat.
So a 52-point diamond is just over
half a carat.
But:
a brilliant cut diamond of I carat
will appear to most people to be
bigger than an emerald cut
diamond of the same weight!
Oval and marquise cuts also tend
to seem a little larger per carat.
You might think that a 2 carat
stone would cost less per carat
than a 1-carat diamond (because,
after all. a 2-pound loaf of bread
doesn't cost twice as much as a
I-pound loaf) But that is not the
case. Because size itself is a rarity
factor. There are far, far fewer
2 carat stones in existence than
1-carat stones — and they cost a
good deal more than tiwee as
much as 1-carat stones of similar
quality in other respects.
DID SOMEBODY SAY
"FLAWLESS?"
The clarity of a diamond is
important. Almost all diamonds
contain tiny inclusions — minute
imperfe. nons included in them
when ihey were formed • by
nature To call a diamond "flaw­less,'''
a diamond must have no
imperfections when viewed by an
expert under 10-power magnifica­tion
in good light!
Instead, each has its own
unique personality — a tiny
addition by nature which makes
one diamond unlike any other in
the world.
How Well Is It Cut?
Not all diamonds are cut to the
perfection of those shown in the
pictures. Fine diamonds, how­ever,
are. The cutting and
faceting is for the purpose of
making the most of the diamond's
ability to reflect and refract light
— to dazzle the beholder, as fine
diamonds have since time im­memorial.
Is that all there is to know about
Diamonds'?
Not at all. What should a
guarantee cover when one pur­chases
a diamond. (Remember to
always get in writing the weight,
color, perfection, future trade in
value, and a chart to show
identification features in a dia­mond).
How about the mounting
...after selecting the diamond
it's now THE important part. At
Wares we offer over 400 styles by
Orange Blossom, Artcarved, Ja
bel, Advance and Diane.
When you have the l i m e . . .
come to Wares for a chat about
diamonds. We answer questions
honestly. We are proud of our 30
years in the Americanv Gem
Society. We have the equipment
needed to properly grade dia­monds.
We always have the time
for you... Downtown or in Wares
at the Village Mall.
At Wares we recommend that
one never purchase a diamond
•vithout having the opportunity to
first see the diamond under a
Diamond-scope. (The Diamond-scope
is a scientifically designed
instrument with back light and
bi-optical advantages never offer­ed
in a hand magnification. Ware
jewelers will be happy to show
you examples of all grades of
perfection.. using their dia-mondscope.

Utility tips save students money
Clinics offer birth control
By Julie Spafford
Assistant News Editor
The Drake Health Center does
not offer birth control services to
the student body, and many Au­burn
University women are seek­ing
such services in Lee County.
The Lee County Health Depart­ment,
which has its main office in
Opelika, also has a clinic in Au­burn.
These two clinics and
private physicians are the only
sources of birth control in Lee
County, according to Mrs. Marcy
Gilder, a nurse practitioner for the
health department.
Gilder said that the Auburn clinic
receives about 50 patients per day
when school is in session and most
of these are students. "The major­ity
come for birth control reasons,"
Gilder said, and noted that about 98
percent use the 'pill for contracep­tive
purposes.
At the Opelika clinic, .however,
Gilder said the clientele is more
diverse, being made up of residents
and students.
Located behind the Auburn Bul­letin
on Tichenor Avenue in the
Downtown Auburn parking lot, the
Auburn clinic is open for birth
control services from 8 to 11 p.m.
and 1 to 3 p.m. Tuesdays.
The Opelika clinic, located on
Pepperell Parkway, is open from 8
to 11 a.m. and 1 to 3 p.m., Friday's,
for birth control services
The birth control services offer­ed
at the two clinics include pap
smears, physicals, pelvic and
breast examinations, blood, urine
and venereal disease (VD) tests
and weight and blood pressure
checks.
At present, the clinics are under­staffed.
Gilder and an aide are the
only two people working at the
Auburn clinic, but Gilder said
another nurse will be hired in about
two to three weeks. "We've been
without for almost a year," Gilder
noted.
County nurses from the Opelika
clinic will come to Auburn when
"we get in a pinch for help," said
Gilder.
The clinics are not free, however.
Gilder said the federal government
required fees starting July 1, 1978.
"The fee is based on a person's
income, the number of children in
the family, etc.," said Gilder.

' 'A student is considered a family
of one and almost always falls in
the minimum category ($1). This
just about covers the cost of
supplies," she said.
"We do counseling on every
woman who comes seeking birth
control so that she understands the
side effects, risks involved, how to
take it and when to come back.
"We're not allowed to advocate
one form of birth control over
another," she said, adding that
"the pill is the most effective type
of birth control."
There are no abortion clinics in
Lee County according to Guilder
The nearest abortion clinic is in
Columbus, Ga., and there are also
clinics in Montgomery and Atlanta.
"We're not allowed to refer
patients to a specific doctor for an
abortion," Gilder said, "but we do
offer abortion as a possibility in
problem pregnancies, along with
adoption, getting married, etc."
Do the clinics really benefit the
county?
"I think the clinics benefit the
community greatly," Gilder said.
"Even with our charges, we're less
expensive than private physicians.
We try to gear our service to those
who can't afford private physi­cians."
Gilder added that because inex­pensive
birth control is available,
the community is benefited by
fewer unwanted pregnancies.
Are people becoming more edu­cated
on birth control?
1 "With magazine articles, TV and
education in the schools, I hope
they're becoming more informed.
"One of the duties of the new
nurse we're hiring is to give family
life and reproductive lessons to
children in elementary, junior high
and high school.
We have been invited onto cam­pus
before, too, to speak on health
care and birth control."
Gilder said she feels many young
women are afraid to come to the
clinic for fear that their parents
will find out. All informatin is
confidential, she said, no informa­tion
is given over the phone, and if
requested, the clinic will not even
call a client unless there is some­thing
they vitally need to contact
you about.
"There is no way parents can
find out," Gilder emphasized.
"Anyone over the legal age of 14
can come to the clinic for help
services without parental permis­sion."

Assistant Features Editor
Although tuition costs mount,
book prices soar, and coin-operat­ed
laundry machines require more
silver, students can save some
money by merely learning and
applying some simple facts about
long-distance calling, electrical
rates and water billing.
Practically every Auburn stu­dent
makes long-distance phone
calls. While the amount of time on
the phone is certainly a major
factor in determining monthly
bills, other criteria such as the
time of day and the method of
calling greatly affects the overall
monthly bill.
The most expensive type of call
is known as "person-to-person
dialing." These calls, placed with
operator assistance, are billed be­ginning
when the caller speaks to
his party.
Zero-plus calling is also costly
and requires operator help. Cal­lers
dial zero plus the area code
and then the distant number.
While zero-plus is less expensive
than person-to-person, Tom Somer-ville
of South Central Bell in
Montgomery recommends
students take full advantage of the
one-plus method instead.
This type of direct dialing is the
most inexpensive. Callers simply
dial one plus the area code and
number, thus avoiding any opera­tor
assistance.
Frequently, students place
collect calls to their parents.
Collect calls are often considerably
high, especially when the conver­sation
is lengthy. If a collect call
must be made, ask the party to call
back at your number. Although this
means two phone calls, it has
proved to save in the end.
The most costly time to place a
call-is between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Callers can save 35 percent on their
•individual calls if they wait and
call between 5 p.m. and 11 p.m.,
and save 60 percent if they call
between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m.
On specified holidays, students
can take full advantage of offered
discounts. Evening rates apply all
day on July 4, Labor Day, New
Year's Day, Thanksgiving and
Christmas Day.
( So, direct dialing, preferably one
plus, between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m.
will allow students to save on their
phone bills.
While rising phone bills often rob
students of extra spending money,
electrical and water bills can also
amount to high and unnecessary
expense. With cold days ahead,
learning to regulate the thermostat
and saving some water can help
reduce the growing cost of com­fortable
living.
"Wherever you use electricity,
there are steps you can take to
insure you are getting the most for
your money," said Griff Nelson,
residential sales representative for
Alabama Power in Auburn.
"Be sure expecially that your
windows and doors are closed and
weatherstripped, check air filters
once a month, and be sure to
correct any cracks that might be
allowing air and moisture to enter
your home," Nelson said.
Thermostats should t>e set at the
lowest comfortable setting during
the winter months. A slight tem­perature
setback, say 5 degrees,
may provide a savings. Do not cut
the unit off completely, however,
unless you will be gone for an
extended period of time. The unit,
while not in use, is subject to
damages due to weather changes.
Centers meet spiritual needs
By Melanie Worley
Plainsman Staff Writer
Auburn students have access to
ten religious centers near campus,
organized especially to meet their
spiritual needs.
The Baptist Student Center, lo­cated
at 135 N. College St., is one of
these organizations.
Directed by Frank McCollough,
the BSU offers students a chance to
"grow spiritually" through Bible
study, discipleship groups and ves­per
programs, with the main em­phasis
on missions. Vesper pro­grams
are held on Tuesday's at 6
p.m.
Located at 131 S. Gay St., the
Wesley Foundation offers Metho­dist
students a chance for fellow
ship under the direction of Rev.
Carl Herndon.
Some of the activities planned for
students are: Sunday morning fel­lowships
with coffee at 9 a.m. and
church school at 9:30 a.m., weekly
Bible study groups and a student
choir which performs in local
churches.
The main purpose of the Wesley
Foundation, the / Herndon
said, is "to provide Christian fellow
ship for students."
The Christian Science College
Organization, directed by Mrs.
Irene Gill, holds meetings for
students on Sunday's at 5:30 p.m.
Gill said the main function of
the organization is "to afford the
college community the opportunity
to learn the truth about Christian
Science and to welcome Christian
Science students entering college."
The Christian Science building is
located at 134 S. Carey St.
The Church of Christ Student
Center is directed by Paul Cates
and is located at 439 S. College St.
The center holds small group
Bible classes on Monday and Wed­nesday
at various times and places
on campus. Regular devotions are
also held on Sunday's and Tues­day's
at 7 p.m.
The goal of the organization, said
Mr.Cates, is "trying through Bible
study to reach everyone we can."
The Catholic Student Center, at
234 E. Magnolia Ave., is directed
by Father Bob Stone and Sister
Teresa Mary.
The centers' basic function is "to
provide counseling programs for
students," but weekly activities
are also held. Mass is observed
every Wednesday.
Mary said, "The primary func­tion
of the center is to minister to
students, enabling them to minis­ter
to one another."
The Episcopal College Center,
directed by the Rev. Rodrick Sin­clair,
is located at 136 E. Magnolia
Ave.
Services for students are held
every Sunday night at 8:30. A
weekly service is also held every
Tuesday evening at 5:30, followed
by supper.
The center "basically ministers
to students," the Rev. Sinclair
said.
The Presbyterian University
Center located at 123 E. Thach Ave.
and is presently directed by Billy
Wade.
The center offers weekly activ­ities
such as Sunday School meet
ings on Sunday mornings and
classes on Sunday mornings and
classes on Sunday's at 6 p.m. Bible
study classes are held on Tuesday
nights.
An overlooked energy saver con­cerns
home draperies. Opening
curtains during daylight hours al­lows
more sunlight to enter rooms
and consequently to warm a house.
Student chefs can also save
money by learning how to match
pots or fryers to the size of the
stove surface unit. In other words,
but sure to use a burner that best
matches the size of the cooking
utensil you're using. This reduces
the amount of heat required to
cook.
Covering pans while cooking al­lows
food to cook faster, thus
reducing electrical output.
One of the greatest energy sav­ers
can be applied when cooking
several items in the oven. Cook all
items together at one compatible
oven setting or temperature.
Another savings tidbit is to use
smaller appliances such as toast­ers,
electric skillets, popcorn pop­pers,
and electric grills instead of
the oven or stove since smaller
appliances require less energy.
Although the monthly water bill
is generally less than all others, it
too can be reduced if certain
principles are applied.
James Gilbert, manager of Au­burn
Water Works Board, says it
doesn't take much was to raise a
student's water bill.
"It doesn't take a big leak to run
the cost up," said Gilbert. "The
best way to check for a toliet leak is
to put some food coloring in the
tank, and if traces of the color
appear in the bowl, a leak is
there."
Students who smoke should stop
using the toliet as an ashtray, he
suggested. Every time a toilet is
flushed, approximately 7 to 10
gallons of water are used.
Gilbert also recommends shorter
showers and water-saving shower-heads.
Baths instead of showers do
the trick as well.
When shaving or Drusning teem,
try to turn off water instead of
letting it continue to flow. While
this suggestion might seem trivial,
the water utilized for daily shaves
and brushing add up by the end of
the month.
For students lucky enough to
have dishwashers, only wash when
you have a full load. Dishwashers
use the same amount of water no
matter how many items are
cleansed.
Lastly, check for drippy faucets.
The daily, steady drip can add
dollars and cents to your monthly
bill.
All sources have pamphlets and
booklets designed to help you save
money on your phone, water and
electric bills. They're free and can
be picked up at the local offices in
Auburn.

called success
By Donna Cook
Plainsman Staff Writer
We consider Organizations Day to
have been a super success and we
are extremely pleased," said Co­ordinator
Vance Baker about the
University Program Council
(UPC) organizational meeting held
an estimated 250 people in atten­dance.
Committee Directors gave short
speeches about their committee
activities, as Baker, along with
Katherine Cater, dean of student
life and Drew Ragan, dean of
student affairs, encouraged g£u.
ents to get involved with UfC.
Following the program, indiv­idual
tables were set up for
students to sign up for interviews
with the director of the committee
they were most interested in.
"About 200 people signed up for
interviews," said Baker, " and we
feel the committees were equally
divided."
"The directors will now conduct
one-to-one interviews with students
to make sure the person has
selected the right committee," said

They are everywhere.
Look out the window in the
morning and the chances are good
that one will go by.
Nothing seems to stop them, not
rain nor sleet nor gloom of night.
They are joggers and they're
part of the most popular form of
exercise on campus.
What makes them run? That
question was posed to various
Auburn students:
Tom Garrett, a sophmore in
mechanical engineering, is a typi­cal
jogger.
"I run for the fun of it," he said.
Garrett was a member of his
high school track team. He recom­mends,
for the serious jogging
enthusiast purchasing good
running shoes. "Serious leg prob­lems
can develop from running in
bad shoes," he warned.
Lara Bathcheldere, junior in
agronomy, runs for a different
reason. "I do it for the exercise,"
she said, "and I like to meditate."
Sony McGalliard also runs to
stay in shape. "I think it's relaxing,
and I like to think while I run," the
freshman said. "I really enjoy it."
Jerry Brogden a transportation
major wants to get in shape.
"I really run to lose weight," the
250-Dound senior stated.
Finding safety in numbers, two
sophomores find that jogging
clears their minds.
Sharon Muse and Cathy Kuge
also feel that running is good for
their health.
Whatever the Auburn joggers'
reasons the fact remains that a lot
of people like the hobby. It is
undeniably healthy, costs nothing
and can be enjoyable. To para­phrase:
"to walk is human, to jog,
divine."
Baker. "This will also help direct­ors
to set up their weekly commit­tee
meetings and become acquaint­ed
with their formats for the year.''
Baker also said the UPC will be
working with a master list this
year, which will contain the names
of every committee member.
"We are doing this because, in
the past, we have never known just
how many people were involved
with UPC," said Baker, "also, we
will always have someone to call on
in case of emergencies.
Baker said persons may still sign
up for UPC work throughout the
year, but he said it is best to do so
now.
' 'This is already proving to be a
record-breaking year," said
Baker. "We have more students
involved than ever before, and with
more student involvment, UPC will
naturally be more successful."
First NORML meeting
attracts 200 students
About 200 people attended the
first NORML meeting on Auburn
campus last Tuesday night in 2106
Haley Center.
NORML, National Organization
for the Reform of Marijuana Laws,
advocates the decriminalization of
marijuana.
If prerequisites for a cluborgani-zation
are passed, according to
leader Mike Webb, "Auburn will
have the first NORML chapter in
the state of Alabama."
No fees for membership of
NORML were established, and
constitution committee of volun­teers
was formed.
Webb asserted, "We want this to
become the biggest club on
campus. It's one of great public
interest."
"It's important to spend time on
the efforts of the NORML pur­pose,"
he added, "It's unlimited
what we can do."
Webb tole the group thaf'Univer-sity
officials have been very ami
able with the compliances of the
first NORML meeting."
"NORML is staying on the legal
side of the law,'' he added. ' 'We are
here to do something. This is not a
party organization.''
Webb said the next NORML'
meeting will be "within the next
two weeks."
French official lectures
The director of the French press
and information service in the
United States will present two
speeches on campus this afternoon.
Andre Baeyens will discuss "L'
Information francaise aux Etats
Unis"with Auburn's French honor­ary
today at 3 p.m. in 204 Foy
Union.
He will present a Forum credit
speech, "The French Position and
Views Concerning Strategic Defen­se
Structures in Western Europe,"
at 4:10 p.m. in 2370 Haley Center.
Baeyens assumed his present
post in New York in January 1977,
after directing the personnel staff
of the French Secretary of State
and Minister of Foreign Affairs.
He has also served as a counselor
to French embassies in Vienna,
Rome, London, Bonn and Washing
ton, D.C.
Baeyens graduated from the Nat
tional School of Administration,
and holds degrees in political
science and law.

JEWISH NEW YEAR CELEBRATED
. Hi lie 1 groups perform rites of Rosh Hashana
Rosh Hashana celebrated Sunday,
first Jewish service held in AU Chapel
By Ford Risley
Photo Editor
The Hillel Jewish Student Or­ganization
sponsored the first Jew­ish
service ever held in the Auburn
Chapel on Sunday, Oct. 1, in
celebration of Rosh Hashana, the
Jewish New Year.
Lasting approximately 40 min­utes,
the service consisted of read­ings
and prayers led by members
of Hillel.
Glen Mutchnick, president of the
group, said the service was not as
formal as regular Jewish services
because no rabbi was available to
lead them.
The service was organized and
designed to provide an "atmos­phere
that would appeal to stu­dents."
Readings from contemporary
writers such as Paul Simon and the
Beatles were combined with Bib­lical
writings and traditional Jew­ish
prayers, which Mutchnick said
are "required in all Jewish serv­ices."
However, many of these prayers
were read in English rather than
the traditional Hebrew.
Hillel will hold its next service in
celebration of Yom Kippur, the
Jewish day of Atonement, on Oct.
10 in the chapel. The group also
plans to have a rabbi hold Sabbath
services once or twice a month
beginning this fall.

women said they considered it "a
great honor" to have been nomi­nated
by friends, an honor ac­cepted
with "surprise and excite­ment."
They said "school spirit" and
"the privilege of representing Au­burn"
were important too.
Ellen Galvin, 4EC, said she loved
the experience of working on a
campaign and has helped with
other elections, including Dana
Barne's, last year's Miss Home­coming.
Galvin said she wanted to be on
the other side to get a different
perspective in running a cam­paign,
saying she hopes to learn
from the experience about accept­ing
victory or defeat.
Galvin said the outcome of the
interview would be in the Lord's
hands.
LuAnne Lockwood, 3PG, said she
believed the more you get involved,
the more you get out of Auburn,
and she is active in a sorority and
Capers.
Lockwood would like to be able to
meet people as a result of the
campaign. She said that being
friendly and personable would be
important in the interview.
Michelle Lyons, 3VOA, said the
experience of being interviewed
would help her in the future in
applying for jobs. She said she has
tried out for several other activi­ties
from which she has learned
about dealing with people.
Lyons stressed that con­fidence
and poise were essential
for success in an interview.
Scott Griffin, director of
elections and one of the judges,
said that he would be looking for
poise, spontaniety, an attractive
appearance and how the girls
conducted themselves during the
interview.
Denise Capps Corr, Miss Home­coming
two years ago, gave this
advice to Homecoming hopefuls —
"Enjoy it the whole time you are
going through it.
Junior colleges up enrollment
The effect of Alabama's junior
college program, expanded over
the past decade, is seen increasing­ly
in the enrollment statistics of the
state's major universities.
According to a recent report by
Auburn University's Office of Insti­tutional
Analysis, one of every
eight undergraduate students
enrolling at Auburn comes from a
junior college.
"Beginning with eight transfers
in 1965-66, growth has been con­tinuous
and dramatic," the report
states. "Currently, nearly 900
junior college transfers per year
enter Auburn University. It is
apparent that an ever greater
number of undergraduates will
begin their collegiate careers at
one of the two-year insitutions."
During the fall of 1977, nearly 12
percent of AU's undergraduate en­rollment
had attended one of Ala­bama's
20 junior colleges. Of the
total undergraduate enrollment of
16,002 students, 1,844 were junior
college transfers.
The education and arts and
sciences programs attracted the
largest numbers of transfer stu­dents,
followed by business and
engineering curriculums, accord­ing
to the OIA report.
Nearly 30 percent of the transfer
students enrolled in the School of
Education, with 20 percent
choosing Arts and Sciences. Busi­ness
was chosen by 16 percent of
the students, and the School of
Engineering by 14 percent.
Of the total number of transfer
students awarded the bac­calaureate
degree at Auburn, 83
percent were earned in the original
program entered, and 85 percent in
the school initially chosen.
"This adherence to curriculum
selection suggests that junior
college transfer students tend to
solidify their career plans while
attending the two-year schools,"
the report stated.
Also included in the study were
grade point averages of three
groups of students who have trans­ferred
here since 1966, including
the periods from 1966 until 1972,
1972 through 1975, and 1975 through
1977. For the first quarter at
Auburn, the grade point averages
of those groups of students ranged
from 1.23 to 1.29 to 1.24 on the 3.0
scale.
Overall averages accumulated
at Auburn by transfer students in
successive quarters were higher,
ranging from 1.51 to 1.58 to 1.49.
Approximately 75 percent of the
earliest group of transfers were
graduated from Auburn, with a
number of the other students still
enrolled.

AU city council
directs changes
By Lonnie Adamson
Assistant News Editor
Auburn's City Council voted un­animously
to change the direction
of the one way traffic flow on
Tichenor Avenue and to allow left
hand turns at Toomer's Corner at a
regular meeting Tuesday night.
The move will change the direc­tion
of traffic flow from east to
west to west to east, and will
eliminate the traffic light at
Tichenor Avenue and College
Street.
Council members also accepted
a $32,000 bid for installation of
lighting at Duck-Samford Park.
The project has been in the
planning stages for some time, said
William H. Allen, president of the
Council.
Tyron E. Tisdale, city manager,
said $22,000 was appropriated for
the project last year. Tisdale ac­counted
for the difference in
amounts of the estimate and the
bid with the increase in cost to do
such a job since the $22,000 esti­mate
was made.
Tisdale said the cost overrun will
probably be alleviated by general
revenue sharing money.
Eight bids were solicited but only
two bids came in. Of those two only
one Did, from Auburn Electric Inc.,
could be accepted. The other bid of
$26,500 from Davis-Bryant Elec­tric,
couldn't be accepted because
the company does not have a
proper state contracting license.
The Council also heard some
discussion on an ordinance to allow
a disco and a pet shop to open at the
Corner Village Shopping Center at
the intersection of Dean Road and
East Glenn Avenue.
The council voted unanimously
to wait for a second reading of the
ordinances at the next regular
meeting of the Council. Allen said
waiting for a second reading will
allow time for citizen input.
In other action, the Council voted
to allow National Guardsmen to
direct traffic in town when under
the direction of city police. Coun-cilmen
indicated the move was
aimed at controlling traffic at
football games.
Two liquor licenses were applied
for at the meeting. Sara Harmon,
owner of Solomons, was denied a
restaurant-lounge license for her
establishment at 518 W. Magnolia
Ave.
The other license, a restaurant-lounge
liscense to Somewhere
Else, at the same location as the
former Blocked Punt, was granted
a license.

Service call
Crisis center throws students a line
By Myra Hunter
Plainsman Staff Writer
Depression. Loneliness. School
problems. Pregnancy. They're all
discussed in calls placed to the
Crisis Center, a listening service
where callers with a problem get a
sympathetic ear.
The center, at 821-8600, also has
an extensive referral service for
pregnancy counseling, legal advice
and often directs callers to pro­fessionals
in the Auburn-Opelika
area.
Though the phone number is
publicized, the center's location is
kept secret, along with the identi­ties
of its volunteer listeners.
The volenteers' names a r e kept a
secret so "they don't take everyone
else's problems home with them"
"with calls made to them at their
residences.
The location of the center is
hushed up because volunteers are
not trained for face-to-face coun­seling.
Each listener receives 20 hours
, of training from the center before
^ J f j j e L ^ a n s w e r i n g phones.
Training sessions for volunteers
will be held Oct. 13 to 15, and
anyone interested in becoming a
listener at the center should call
the 'hotline' number.
The center is funded by dona­tions
from the Auburn United
Fund, Opelika Community Chest,
the SGA, the Off-Campus fund and
other sources.
It serves not only the Auburn
a r e a but has expanded to include
Lee, Tallapoosa, Russell and
Chambers counties.
Many centers across the nation
can recognize distinct peak periods
in their phone calls. The Auburn
a r e a is different in that respect,
according to one listener, because
it doesn't experience marked in­creases
toward finals and during
holidays.
Most calls are received from 7
p.m. to 2 a.m., and volunteers are
at the center from 2 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Calls after those hours a r e directed
to another number.
Though most calls concern per­sonal
relationships, or the lack of I
them, listeners say a few suicide
threats a r e also phoned in, but add
that it's hard to determine if the |
caller really means what he says.
The listeners try to avoid giving
advice to a caller because they do|
not know his entire situation.
An important thing they can do, I
says one listener, is reflect what
the person says so that he can
decide for himself what to do. They
also can go over the alternatives!
with a confused caller.
These calls are "sometimes de­pressing"
to the volunteers, but
they too can call the center'?
directors and unload their feeling?
when too many problems get then-down.
For many callers, however, the
Crisis Center may be the onel
symphathetic ear and voice thejj
have that is not discouraging.
Students remained aloof to five day strike
By Wanda Kenton
Asst. Features Editor
Although the strike has been a
major news item for the last week,
it appears that many Auburn stu­dents
know and care little about the
issues.
"The strike seemed to be in
another world," and Connie Jack­son,
2GEH. "It never really affect­ed
me at a l l ."
Ken Hibbs, 3VAT, said he didn't
really know too .much about the
strike. "I didn't ever really know
what the strikers were asking for,"
he said. "I think unions are good
and that the south ought to have
more. What's more, I think Auburn
ought to recognize them."
Steve Stringfellow, 4EE, first
heard about the strike when he
read an article in the Opelika-
Auburn News.
"I don't think anything should be
done to the s t r i k e r s , " he said. "The
University was high-handed in
dealing with them." Stringfellow
thought the workers demands for
uniforms were reasonable, but
thought the University's threat to
fire strikers unreasonable.
Like many students on campus.
Butch Chandler, 3IE, was unable to
keep up with the strike because of
activities and studies.
"I think there were good points
on both sides, but I didn't think
much about the strike because it
didn't affect me," he said.
Suzanne Eidson, 2FCD, com­plained
about the condition of her
dorm due to striking maids.
"Dorm J got very dirty because
one maid who chose not to strike
was having to do all the work," she
said. " I 'm glad that the strike is
over so that they can get back to
work."
Sherry McCMillan, 30H, ex­pressed
fear over the strikers.
"I had to walk home one night
because I had to park my car far
from the dorm, and I'll admit I was
frightened because I knew the
strikers were out at night," she
said.
Cindy Creagan, 1FCD, was never
afraid of the strikers, but feels that
their actions a r e going to hurt them
in the long run.
"I could see some of their points,
but I was against some of the
others," she said. "I really haven't
kept up with it too much, though."
Joe Hastings, 3VM, said he felt
the University and the strikers
should have been able to come to
some sort of mutual agreement.
"I think the University should
withhold demands of the people in
order to keep up with inflation," he
said. " I t ' s just too bad they can't
a g r e e ."
J im Sanders, 4PG, said that many
of the University jobs should be
done away with.
" I t ' s ridiculous to have eight
men clipping a few bushes and 18
mowing the lawn," said Sanders.
"The strikers should be glad that
the University is providing them
with jobs."
He also thought that the strikers
would have been more effective
had they been more organized.
Tommy Whitworth, 4PY, thought
it was "foolish" that the empioyees
went on strike.
"Since the University doesn't
recognize unions, their actions
proved little worth," he said.
"They also could have gone
about it in a different way," he
said. "They've lost several days of
work and it's going to take three
weeks to make up for the time
they've missed."
The strike is over, but from the
results of the poll, it probably won't
make much difference as far a s the
students are concerned.

down on Miami By Barry Webne
Assistant Sports Editor
The University of Miami Hur­ricanes
will come to the loveliest
village on the plains Saturday with
hopes of defeating the yet un­beaten
Auburn Tigers.
Coached by Lou Saban, former
head coach of the Buffalo Bills, the
Hurricanes will enter the Auburn
game with a won-loss record of 1-2.
Auburn Head Football Coach
Doug Barfield said, "We're proud
to be playing at home, but we can't
relay on that. Miami is very
capable of winning as they proved
last week against Kansas."
In Lawrence, Kan., the Hur­ricanes
won handily by a score of
38-6. The two other Miami losses
this season occured against Colo­rado
7-17, and Florida State 21-31.
Saban said, "I hope we are able
to win. Auburn has a good team
with good rushing and a real good
defense. The undefeated record
shows they are tough."
Leading the Hurricanes in
rushing this season is senior
running back Ottis Anderson.
Anderson has a three game total of
289 yards in 47 carries for an
average of 6.15 yards a carry.
Anderson's longest run was that of
80 yards.
Behind Anderson in the rushing
category is senior fullback
Kenneth Johnson. Johnson has
netted 130 yards in 19 attempts for
an average of 6.84 yards.
Kenny McCillian, sophomore
quarterback from Deland, Fla.,
has netted 57 yards in 26 carries for
a 2.14 rushing average.
„ *"V* P
Miami is well stocked in the
quarterback department. Leading
the passing for the Hurricanes is
freshman Mark Richt. Richt has
connected for 11 passes out of 27
attempts, for four interceptions
and two touchdowns.
Quarterback McMillan has
passed for a total of 57 yards. He
has had seven completions out of 19
attempts.
Third in passing is freshman
quarterback Mike Rodrique. Rod-rique
has attempted five passes
and completed only one for a total
of 15 yards.
Freshman Mark Cooper leads
the Miami team in pass receiving
with four snags for 51 yards, the
longest reception was 23 yards.
Sophomre Pat Walker is second
in total receptions with three
catches for 39 yards, the longest
pass being one of 17 yards. Running
back Anderson is third with three
catches for two yards, the longest
pass was one of five yards.
Barfield said, "Miami has prob­ably
as good a running back as
we'll see in Ottis Anderson, he's
6-foot-3, 210 pounds and fast."
Total team statistics for Miami
include the category of first downs.
Miami has made 40 first downs,
while giving opponents 37.
Leading the individual scoring
for Miami is Anderson with three
touchdowns and 18 points. McMil-lian
with 2 touchdowns and 12
points, and freshman kicker Daniel
Miller in third with 12 points. Nine
on point after touchdowns and one
field goal.
According to Barfield, injuries
seem to come in groups on the
Tiger squad. "The secondary
seems to be a problem this week,"
he said. "Alan Hardin, Jeff Gray
and James McKinney will prob­ably
play but they were banged-up
against Tennessee.
"We'll probably work in Charles
Thomas, Jerry Beasley, Glen
Hawkins, Tim Wood and Bob
Harris," he added.
Statistics show the Miami team
to be scoring most points in the
fourth quarter. In that quarter, the
team has only given up 10 points
while scoring 35 points.
In first quarter play, the Hur­ricanes
scored seven points and
gave up six points. Second quarter
play shows both opponents and
Miami each giving up 24 points.
Third quarter play has the Hur­ricanes
giving up 14 points while
scoring zero.
Saban added, "We have five or
six people on defense that are
banged up, and this is going to hurt
us in the backfield. A team has to
have depth to be successful."
With six touchdowns coming
from rushing, that looks to be the
main focus of the Miami offense.
Two Miami touchdowns came from
passing and one from an intercep­tion.
Miami's total offense has gained
811 yards in 192 plays. They have
averaged 270 yards per game and
have 4.22 offensive yards per play.
After the Auburn game, the Hur­ricanes
take on Georgia Tech, Utah
State, Notre Dame, Tulane, San
Diego State, Syracuse and the
University of Florida.
Off the top of his head
Sugar would mean bald Barfield
By Chuck Anschutz
Sports Editor
Before it drifts too far in the past
and is forgotten when January rolls
around, let me get it into print.
Auburn Head Coach Doug Barfield
told a crowd of around thirty-five
students Tuesday that he would
shave his head should Auburn go to
the Sugar Bowl.
The statement came at an ap­pearance
by Barfield on the Foy
Union patio. Barfield talked with
students and answered questions
for about 30 minutes Tuesday
afternoon and when asked by one
student, "WHEN we go to the
Sugar Bowl, are you going to shave
your head?", Barfield laughed,
looked out across the crowd and
said, "Yes, if we go to the Sugar
Bowl, I'll shave my head."
Barfield's "fireside chat" was a
delightful surprise to me, and
judging by the reaction of the
students, it was informative and
interesting. Barfield said that his
conference with the students will
be a weekly (every Tuesday) fea­ture.
If it rains, Barfield will be in
the Union Ballroom.
Barfield has the perfect person­ality
and character to impress
college students and I hope all the
football fans on campus will take
advantage and meet our head foot­ball
coach.
I was talking to a pessimistic
friend, telling him I thought the
Tigers had a good chance to win the
conference. He came back with,
"Yea, and you might make the
dean's list this quarter." I'm not
that bad a gambler, but I do think
that the attitude on this year's
squad is something special.
Barfield made the point at his
Tuesday press conference that if
there is one thing his team doesn't
lack, it's effort.
"Everybody seems to want to be
a part of this team," said Barfield.
And it shows. The defensive effort
was tremendous last weekend and
the offensive line seems to be
putting things together and im­proving
as the season moves along.
Trotman still has the enthusiasm
that won him the job in the middle
of last season.
One good judge of a team's
attitude is the kick-off and punting
teams. If they were playing with
the strong emotion that is needed in
winning football teams, then it's a
In this
corner
good bet that the feeling is held by
most of the team.
Linebacker Freddie Smith is
expected to play some against
Miami but probably not too much
more than last week. Against
Tennessee, Barfield said he has
planned to use Freddie for 15-20
snaps and ended up leaving him in
for 21. Freddie came out of the
game in fine shape (or rather, no
worse than he already was).
"He's not 100 percent," said
Barfield. "But he's coming along
fine so far. It's going to be a
gradual thing."
Freddie's speed is probably the
solution to stop those swing screens
and passes over the middle that
seemed to be Tennessee's biggest
offense.
Don't expect Miami to be the
push-over in Auburn's schedule.
You'll find Saturday that Miami's
defense should be the best Auburn
has faced so far this year. A good
test for Mr. Brooks and company.

Freshman runner setting records out in the woods
By David Peeler
Plainsman Staff Writer
Suppose a two time high school
Ail-American distance runner
signs a scholarship to Auburn
University. In his first two weeks
at college he runs two cross­country
races and sets course
records in both. Now it's time for a
little boasting, right?
Wrong. Getting freshman cross­country
star Tom Graves to talk
about himself is almost as difficult
as getting Muhammad Ali not to.
Graves would much rather brag
on his coaches and teammates.
Cross-country Coach Mike Musk a
is "real easy to talk to. He seems
like one of the guys, yet we still
have a lot of respect for him."
Graves said head Track Coach
Mel Rosen is "a more sophisticated
Coach Muska. He spends a lot of
time with the cross-country team
and really cares what we do." And
his teammates are "a very talent­ed
group of guys. It's very easy to
get along with them."
In what is generally considered
an individual sport, Graves is a
team player.
"I don't run for myself," he says.
"I run hard because I know if I
don't I'll hurt the team. We run the
meets as a team, wtih everyone
helping each other along."
Graves feels the group effort is a
natural outgrowth of the closeness
of the team. He spends a lot of time
after practice with teammates
Chris Fox, John Tuttle, Bob Hicks
and Kenny Clark.
"It's great to be with a group of
guys who would rather give you
help than beat you in a race."
If Graves is loathe to discuss his
success, Coach Muska is not. In
fact, he cannot resist breaking into
a broad smile whenever the subject
of Tom Graves is brought up.
"I first saw Tom run back in
1977, at the Illinois state meet,"
Muska said. "Actually, I was re­cruiting
Bob (Hicks, now Auburn
cross-country co-captain) at the
time, but I saw Tom run a fantastic
8:51 two mile in 95 degree heat and
90 percent humidity, then come
back 90 minutes later and run a
4:09 mile. I was convinced right
then he would be the top prospect in
the nation his senior year."
For comparison, the Alabama
prep record for the two mile is
9:11; for the mile, 4:08. The
records were not set by the same
individual.
Muska then launches into a
recital of Graves' outstanding feats
with the practiced ease of a used
car salesman, but with the con­tagious
enthusiasm of a country
preacher.
Graves was three time Illinois
two mile champion; two time
h^AtA^
Illinois cross-country champion;
two time cross-country Ail-Ameri­can;
and a member of the US
Junior Cross-Country team, which
competes on the international
level.
The secret to Graves' success,
Muska maintains, is his physical
strength. Tom is 6'0" and tips the
scales at 160. In a sport populated
by 5'8", 130 pound specimens,
Graves sticks out like a sore-but-powerful-
thumb.
"He's been criticized as being
too big, but I believe it's his biggest
asset," says Muska. "He has a long
stride length, and his strength
enable him to maintain that length
while weaker runners are becom­ing
fatigued and shortening their
stride."
It is obvious Muska does not
consider Graves to be simply a
running marvel. ' 'Tom is not only a
great runner, he's a great person,"
Muska says. "He is willing to
sacrifice his own running for the
team's running, which is a rare
thing for someone of his calibre."
"He's certainly not cocky,"
Muska continues, "but he's quietly
confident. He downplays himself to
the point you think he'll hurt his
own confidence, but then you rea­lize
he won't."
"With his combination of athletic
ability and personal charm, he's a
coach's dream," Muska concludes.
"He certainly disproves the adage
that nice guys finish last."
Indeed. If they're named Tom
Graves, nice guys almost always
finish first.

Tennessee win mix of things
By Chuck Anschutz
Sports Editor
The Tigers broke into the Associ­ated
Press and United Press Inter­national's
top twenty foptball poll
this week with an impressive 29-10
victory over the Tennessee Volun­teers
last Saturday.
The War Eagles were keyed by a
consistantly strong offense, a rug­ged
defensive front line, a blurred
James Brooks and the return of
"Fast Freddie" Smith.
The Birmingham crowd of
around 50,000 had quite a bit to
cheer about as Auburn moved its
record to 3-0 for the season and 1-0
in the SEC.
"We were beaten by a fine
football team," said Vol coach
Johnny Majors. "Auburn is much
improved both offensively and de­fensively
since last year. They
have a very well balanced team."
Running back Brooks was the big
story on offense for the Tigers. He
tallied 156 yards in the game (less
than a yard below his three game
average) giving him around 470
yards for the season. That total
already surpassed his entire yard­age
for last season.
Brooks rambled 71 yards in the
second quarter after reversing
field in Auburn territory and was
dragged down at the Tennessee
nine yard line. That set up Jorge
Portella's second of three field
goals for that quarter and gave the
Tigers a 13-0 lead.
"Our inability to put the ball in
the end zone in the second quarter
kept us from having some breath­ing
room," said Barfield about the
game.
"Instead Tennessee came out
sizzlin in the third quarter," he
said.
The Vols gave Auburn its only
real scare of the afternoon early in
the third quarter. Frank Foxx
capped an 85 yard drive with a 24
yard touchdown run with 11:00 left
in the third quarter. Five minutes
later Tennessee booted a 32 yard
field goal to pull the Vols within six
points.
But before the quarter was over
Auburn's Joe Cribbs scored his
first of two short touchdown runs to
give the Tigers the big edge again.
"I was proud of the way we then
came back with the long drive,"
said Barfield. "We executed well
on that drive. Charlie Trotman
checked off well and we made
some big plays.
" I 'm proud of the way we kept
our poise and came on strong after
they had cut it to six points."
The retu
