              Yes, Virginia, there is a skunk for you
By Karen Remppel
Assistant Features Editor
Crowds of students gather curiously around her;
people shrink against walls as she passes by;
expecting disaster of the worst kind, many barely
muster up courage to get within two feet of her, while
others simply take off in the opposite direction.
No, she's not the Bionic Woman or even Wonder
Woman, but Auburn's own, notorious "Skunk
Woman."
Known to friends and family as Virginia Wight, she
acquired the title "Skunk Woman" not because she
turns into a giant skunk and swoops down on Auburn,
but because she owns a pet skunk who attends classes
with her daily.
Virginia's true identity is often upstaged by this tiny
creature she calls Claudette la Pew. Claudette charms
he crowds of people who are so amazed to see a pet
skunk that they walk off in a daze remembering
Virginia only as "that girl with the skunk" or "Skunk
Ataman."
"I went to Noah's Ark to get an ordinary pet like a
gerbil or hamster, but I saw this cute little skunk
looking up at me with those tiny eyes and I couldn't
resist," said Virginia, a sophomore from Warner
Robins, Ga.
Claudette is a domesticated skunk which means that
she wasn't caught as a wild animal, but obtained by
Noah's Ark from a skunk farm that breeds skunks
specifically to sell as pets.
"She's been descented but most people are still a
little wary of her at first," said Virginia.
Members of the cat family, skunks are carniverous
animals and are similar to cats in disposition.
"Claudette eats anything, but I usually feed her cat
food," said Virginia. "She especially likes live
crickets or bugs of any kind and even eats fruit such as
melon."
"Claudette's only eight weeks old and although you
can paper train skunks I haven't trained her yet. She
sleeps in a ten-gallon aquarium tank and scampers
around my room like a cat," said Virginia.
According to Noah Bowman, owner of Noah's Ark,
skunks can be trained to sit or jump or do tricks.
"Claudette's only trick is that she'll cry to be picked
up; she's getting spoiled by all the attention she gets,"
said Virginia.
Skunks appear to be gaining in popularity as pets.
"Our skunks sold for $75 each and we sold our entire
stock of 28 skunks within two weeks," said Noah.
"Skunks make good pets because they're friendly,
playful and can be trained as easily as cats," said Jim
Hester, manager of Animal Crackers pet shop' in
Columbus, Ga.
Trailing behind Virginia to class everyday,
Claudette creates quite a commotion. "People react
differently but most say things like "Is that what I
think it is?" and always comment on how cute she is,"
said Virginia.
According to'Virginia, by the time most people get
around to asking whether Claudette's been descented
they're already holding her and playing with her.
"Everybody loves Claudette; she's so cute and
friendly and always wins people over," said Virginia.
"The only person who doesn't like her is my biology
professor who feels I should spend my time with
people instead of with an animal," she added.
Claudette doesn't create a distrubance in any of
Viginia's classes and reacts like many students by
falling asleep. "She's goes to class whenever I do and
curls up in my lap and falls asleep during classes. I
bring her to class because I don't like to leave her
alone. She needs exercise and following me to class
tires her out which really works out better for me later
on because then she'll sleep at night.
"You see skunks are nocturnal so if I keep her out
all day she'll be too tired to run around at night so she
sleeps when I'm sleeping," said Virginia.
According to Noah, "We won't be carrying skunks
any more. We're a state licensed zoo, and we're trying
to get membership in the American Association of
Zoological Parks and Aquariums. One of the bylaws is
that you don't sell exotic animals. Our skunks came
from a skunk farm in Perham, Miss."
The story is different in Columbus where it was
recently declared legal in Georgia to have skunks as
pets. "We'll be getting in our stock of skunks from
Colorado. If there's a demand they'll sell for around
$40 to $60, but if the demand is low they'll be around
$100.00." said Jim Hester.
Caring for a skunk requires no more time or effort
than caring for a cat or dog. They must be kept clean
and rabie shots are taken when the skunk is six
months old.
"Skunks make great pets," said Virginia, "I would
recommend them as pets to other people especially if
they want a unique type of pet," she added.
The next time someone yells "There goes the Skunk
Woman" don't run for cover or fear the sky is falling
in. It's only Virginia and her celebrity skunk
Claudette. As Virginia said with a smile, "One of the
best things about having Claudette as a pet is that
when you're walking around with her everyone smiles
at you and is so friendly."

War Eagle basketball
expects 'Sonny9 days
By Danielle Murphy
Assistant Sports Editor
and
Johnny Haslam
Sports Editor
Shortly after noon on Tuesday, the search by
Auburn University officals to find a new basketball
coach, prompted by the tragic death of Paul
Lambert, ended with the hiring of Charles "Sonny"
Smith, former head coach at East Tennessee State
University.
Auburn Athletic Director Lee Hayley announced
the decision just two hours after the University
Selection Committee had unanimously voted to
offer Smith the job in an 11 a.m. meeting in the
President's Conference Room in Samford Hall.
Smith, the head coach at Tennessee Univer­sity
for the past two years, is expected to arrive in
Auburn tomorrow or Friday for his first press
conference.
In just two years, Smith took his East Tennessee
Buccaneers with a 6 and 20 record to an 18 and 9
record for the 1978 season. This record left Smith's
team tied for the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC)
Championship.
Smith said he plans to come to the Plains with a
positive attitude. "I'm very very happy about being
named head coach and am looking forward to
coming down," said the 41-year-old 1978 OVC Coach
of the Year. "I'm suppose to report July 1, but I'll
probably be down tomorrow."
"I'm going to approach the program down there
from a positive standpoint. I'm very interested in
creating a working relationship with the student
body, faculity and players," Smith said. "I want to
become competitive. I've got to assess the situation
and see what the player situation is like before I can
make a definite plan.''
Smith, who played two years at Holmes Junior
College and who was co-captain and a two-time
all-conference player at Milliagan College, is
looking forward to competing in the SEC. "The
Southeastern Conference is one of the most
respected athletic leagues in the nation and Auburn
offers every opportunity to be successful," Smith
said.
Smith has expressed concern over his acceptance
into the Auburn athletic family. Smith has indicat­ed
that assistants Herbert Greene and Herman
Williams will remain on the staff.
•Williams, who came to Auburn as Lambert's
assistant, said,' 'I think Coach Smith is a good man.
This isn't the first time I've been knowing him.
We've Dassed each other in the same tournaments
and on the recruitine trail."
Williams said most coaches would do a complete
house cleaning and bring in all thier own people.
"This kind of attitude just goes to show what a class
guy he is," Williams said.
Madison Brooks, athletic director at ETU, and
Jerry Robinson, head trainer at ETU, said they
were sorry to see him leave. "We'd like to see him
make a move up, if that's what he wants," Brooks
said.
' 'He'll make a good coach for Auburn and make a
good basketball team for ya'll," Brooks said.
"You will love him."
Robinson said Smith's move was "Auburn's gain
and our loss. I've spent two years with him on the
road and at home and he's one of the finest coaches.
He'll do Auburn well."
Jim Hallihan, who will take over as head coach at
ETU and B.J. Johnson, who played ball under
Smith for two years said they hated to see him go.
"You all have a great program down there and
you've got a great man to go along with it now."
Johnson, who transferred from a junior college,
said he was sorry he only got to play for Smith for
two years. "You've got a great one coming,"
Johnson said. "It's very emotional up here and very
sad. His personality is very overwhelming. You'll
see when he gets down there."
HEW lauded by Senate
for achieving 'justice'
By Travis Cork
Assistant News Editor
The Student Senate passed a
resolution Tuesday night to
"strongly commend the Depart­ment
of Health, Education and
Welfare's work force that visited
Auburn May 15-19 for their willing­ness
to listen to informed students
as well as their willingness to
assure that justice is achieved."
Specifically, "the justice
achieved" was the allocation of
Dorm 7 to men students.
The resolution also cited that
"little or no action had been taken
by the administration of Auburn
University to provide equal on-campus
housing opportunities for
the male student."
The resolution was sponsored by
SGA Senator Charlie Smith and
Jim Purcell, director of men's on
campus housing.
Representatives of the HEW
Office for Civil Rights visited the
Auburn campus last month for a
compliance review of Title VI of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which
prohibits discrimination on the
basis of race. The HEW represen­tatives
also allowed concerned stu­dents
to voice complaints that their
Faulty cable blows sewer covers into air
By Barry Webne
News Editor
Physical Plant workers were
busy early Monday evening as a
high-powered electrical line short­ed
and cut power to several build­ings
around Magnolia Dormitories.
The short occurred at approx­imately
5:30 p.m. outside of the
Magnolia-Noble Hall Complex. The
short also caused a small explosion
that apparently blew off two man­hole
covers and also damaged
a major generator.
Alarm systems at Magnolia
Dormitory failed to go off, but the
alarms at Noble Hall activated and
residents were evacuated. Many of
those evacuated were future stu­dents
here for pre-college counsel­ing.
Paul Kearney, director of the
Auburn University Physical Plant,
said, "I have no idea what
happened to the electric cable. It
could have been damaged when it
was installed a few years back."
Power was cut off in Magnolia
Hall, Bullard Hall, Noble Hall,
Drake Infirmary and the new
Pharmacy Building.
An employee at Drake Infirmary
called the Auburn Fire Depart­ment
and claimed lights had been
faltering. According to Auburn
fireman James Weldon, "When we
got to Drake Infirmary they were
already using auxiliary power."
Weldon said, "There was appar­ently
an electrical burnout under­ground.
Two wires must have
connected and caused the short."
According to Weldon, there was
no real danger after the power line
GOING DOWN UNDER

shorted out. He said that power
was restored, and everything was
temporarily back to normal with
the exception of the Magnolia air
conditioning unit.
The air conditioning in the Mag­nolia
Complex has been repaired
after almost a two-day wait, but it
will take time to get the entire
generator back in shape.
"It is up to the University Physi­cal
Plant to do work on the
electrical lines," fireman Weldon
said. "They have their own electri­cians.
We were there only because
it could have resulted in danger,"
said Weldon.
Kearney said that the problem
occurred probably because the
cable was not installed the right
way. "When something like this is
installed, it must be done very
carefully. The angles of curves
cannot be too sharp.
"The cable was probably cut at
too sharp of an angle and it frayed
a little," Kearney said. "After the
heat penetrated the wire over a
period of time, two wires connected
and shorted out."
Kearney added, "These kind of
things always seem to happen at
the wrong time."
Again early Tuesday evening,
Physical Plant workers were
called to the Magnolia Complex
because a boiler was acting up.
The boiler which heats water for
the entire Bullard and Magnolia
Complex was continuously letting
off steam, and causing uncomfort
for some residents at the complex.
Located in the basement of a
section of Bullard Hall, the boiler
problem also affected parts of the
plumbing system. There was no
cold water in this section of the
dorm.
Andy Floyd, a resident in the
complex whose room is directly
above the boiler, said, "My floor
was getting real hot and there was
steam coming through the win­dows.
"My room was unbearable,
you could even fry an egg on the
floor."
Workers repaired the problem
and said it was partially caused by
the steam outlet system which
releases steam. The system had
apparently stayed open contin­uously.
legal privilege to equal housing
opportunities had been violated by
the administration.
HEW had also received written
complaints alleging sex discrimi­nation
previous to the representa­tives'
visit to the campus.
Title IX of the Education Amend­ments
of 1972 prohibits discrimina­tion
on the basis of sex under
federally assisted education pro­grams
or activities.
According to Archie B. Meyer,
special assistant to the director of
the Office for Civil Rights, HEW
had enough information from stu­dents
to initiate a comprehensive
investigation of the housing pro­gram
at Auburn and had planned to
do so as soon as possible.
But Dean of Student Life Katha­rine
Cater's unexpected May 18
announcement that Dorm 7 would
be allocated to men put a stop to
the pending investigation.
Only one week before the an­nouncement
Cater had said, "We
do not feel that we have discrimi­nated
against young men this
year." However she acknowledged
upon her May 18 announcement
that the small increase over the
previous year in housing request
from men did not bring the decision
but that without an alternative to
Magnolia Dorm for men, the Uni­versity
would indeed be in violation
of the federal law.
Record set straight
by The Plainsman
Three items in last week's
Plainsman merit further com­ment.
Two deserve outright correc­tions.
The third deserves further
explanation.
In the page one story concerning
WEGL and the firing of Maurice
Snelling, The Plainsman erronious-ly
stated that another WEGL em­ployee,
Gail Talley, was also dis­missed.
Talley was not involved
with the show in question, ac­cording
to Snelling and WEGL
station manager Chuck Measel,
and no action was taken against
her.
The Plainsman also made an
error in a story which appeared on
page A-3, and reported on the
Auburn City Council meeting of
June 20. Auburn Mayor Don Hay-hurst
was mistakenly referred to
as "Mayor Haygood" and Auburn
National Bank was wrongly
mentioned in the story in connec­tion
with a law suit involving the
JoVonn Inn. The correct bank in
accordance with the story was the
Bay National Bank and Trust Co. of
Panama City, Fla.
Some explanation might be in
order concerning an item that
appeared in "The world this
week". Concerning the report
about the Edward Griggers death,
The Plainsman feels that the final
line of the story is subject to mis­interpretation.
The story ended
with "...he (Sgt. Al Baker) fired
the shot to defend himself." In
further explanation, the report
should state that Baker drew his
gun in his defense but the shot was
fired accidentally when he was
brushed by the suspect's car.
The Plainsman regrets these
errors and is happy to set the
record straight.

GUERILLAS MASSACRE A DOZEN MISSION-ARIES-
Black guerrillas wielding clubs, axes
and bayonets massacred a dozen British
missionaries and members of their families at a

among those killed in one of the deadliest raids
on a white-run mission in Rhodesia's 6-year war
with guerrillas.
UNITED STATES AND RUSSIA EXCHANGE
PRISONERS-The governments of the United
States and Russia have agreed to exchange
prisoners. An American businessman Francis J.
Crawford, who was arrested on charges of
currency smuggling, was traded by the Soviets
for two Russians facing spy charges. Two

BAKKE "REVERSE DISCRIMINATION"
CASE CLOSED—The Supreme Court ruled that
Allen Bakke, who was refused admittance to the
University of California Medical School at Davis
because a 16 percent quota for minorities was set
aside, must be admitted. The University could
not prove Bakke would not have been admitted if
there had been no quota. It was for this reason
that the court ruled in favor of the 38-year-old
engineer. The court still strongly upheld the
University's and governmental bodies' right to
set racial quotas.

WESTERN RADLWAY CARS DERADL-Two
Alabama Western Railway cars derailed early
Tuesday morning behind the Troxel Manufactur­ing
Company of Opelika. One of the cars
contained a corrosive, acid-type chemical,
methyl phostonothioic, which could be toxic if
exposed to other materials, but it isn't
flammable or combustible. There were no leaks
reported and at the present time there is no
reason for evacuation.
ALLEN FOUND GUDL.TY AGAIN-After delib­erating
for three and one-half hours, the jury
found the former state treasurer guilty of falling
to report all her bank loans in her 1976 statement
of personal economic interest filed with the State
Ethics Commission. Melba Till Allen was
sentenced to a three year prison term for
violation of state ethics law last week.
The End; Kissing
'Norma Rae'bye
Saturday marked the
end of what could be
called a close relation­ship
between the city of

"Norma Rae" tempo­rarily

good-bye, until that day
the curtain opens and
Hollywood's silverscreen
presents the finished pro­duct
of Opellka's first
adventure into the movie

No one knows for sure
when the reunion will
take place but it has been
speculated that it might
not be until sometime
next spring. Twentieth
Century Fox hasn't let
"the cat out of the bag"
about much that has been
going on and it's obvious
that this area will be kept
in the dark until that

The filming was com­pleted
two weeks early as
the result of good weather

Hollywood and just in
time for the 4th of July.

Most people learn as freshmen that it helps if you open the book to study and
those that didn't learn aren't here anymore. Finding the right studying technique
could make a big difference in your g.p.a. Some take their shoes off, some drink

Beasley is 'optimistic'
By Barry Webne
News Editor
Winding up his second
term as Alabama's Lieu­tenant
Governor, Jere
Beasley is optimistic as
to his future with the
state and citizens of Ala­bama.
Born in Cleveland,
Ala., Beasley graduated
from Auburn with a
degree in economics and
then attended the Univer­sity
of Alabama law
school.
When Governor
Wallace was shot in 1972,
Beasley was acting gov­ernor
for approximately
two months.
The main interest of the
Beasley platform lies
with education in Ala­bama.
Beasley said, "Ed­ucation
is where the most
emphasis should be
placed. Colleges and uni­versities
across the state
are in need of some help,
they are already in good
shape, but the most work
will be needed on the
elementary and high
school level."
Beasley also favors re­organization
of the Ala­bama
Executive Govern­ment.
"There are some
270 odd agencies in the
state. We need to study
these organizations and
reorganize the govern­ment
on a controllable
level, maybe 75 to 100
levels."
Beasley is against any
raise in taxes. "When we
reorganize the executive
branch of the state
government, this will cut
our spending by some $20
million, and make the
state institutions more
self-sufficient.
Adding the penal
system for criminals is
not suitable, Beasley
said. "The jail systems
are costing the state
some $24 million, all out
of the general fund. The
way it is set up now, the
Alabama penal system
does not offer any form of
rehabilitation. There are
about 25,000 to 50,000
acres of land that the
penal system controls,
and none of this is being
farmed."
Beasley said a clear
solution to this problem
would be to develop and
farm the land so that
inmates can work it. This
will make the penal
system more setf-juf-ficient
and also provide
rehabilitation.

No w is time to study languages
By Marianne Ashmore
Plainsman Staff Writer
In spite of popular-notion
that interest in
foreign languages is fal­tering
at Auburn, thou­sands
of Alabamians
have studied foreign
languages here at Au­burn.
With one of the largest
departments in the state,
students are offered pro­grams
in French, Ger­man,
Italian, Russian,
Latin and Spanish. All of
the programs are ade­quately
filled with inter­ested
students.
The foreign language
department runs a lang­uage
laboratory as a way
of helping with the
speaking, hearing,
reading and writing of
each language. In the lab,
students may hear their
lessons and record their
own answers at a private
station. The quality of
their responses is then
checked with the record­ing.
The Foreign Language
Department also en­courages
high school stu­dents
to do advanced
work by giving them the
opportunity to receive ad­vanced
placement. By
taking a second or third
quarter course and,
making a C, the student
can receive credit for the
quarters he skipped.
Credits earned count to­ward
graduation as well
as toward foreign lan­guage
requirements.
Majors in foreign lan­guages
were once stereo­typed
as people interest­ed
in teaching or transla-ting-
interpreting. How­ever,
vast opportunities
are now open for foreign
majors and for students
wishing to combine other
fields with foreign lan­guage.
"Combining" fields
are: Education, Busi­ness,
Journalism,
Marketing and Distribu­tion,
Transportation and'
Communications. Stu­dents
in pre-professional
programs can obtain a
major in French, Ger­man
or Spanish.
The foreign language
field is wide open. Dr.
Dorothy DiOrio, depart­ment
head of foreign lan­guage
said, "The time to
go back to foreign lan­guage
study is now."

New Corner Village opening
By Marie Harrell
Plainsman Staff Writer
There will soon be a
new eight-and-one-half
acre shopping center, the
Corner Village Shopping
Center, on the corner of
Glenn and South Dean
streets.
mm fAtostooRTU
The City Planning
Commission first saw the
plans for the new
shopping center on Jan.
20,1977, and on March 15,
1977, the City Council
approved the plans.
Pittsburg Paint Store
and Treasury Drugs are
already open and doing
business. A Kroger
grocery store and a May­tag
store are also planned
for the shopping center,
along with several other
stores.
Pat Borelli, city
planner, said, "The
shopping center will have
the kind of stores to com­pete
with downtown."
Borelli also said that
Kroger wanted to open
June 25, but he didn't
know- if the building in­spector
had approved the
building yet.
City Building Inspector
Dave Harding said,
"Some of the stores have
only a skeleton up. But
some, are almost ready
for business.
' 'It would not be right to
say when the shopping
plaza will open, but a few
stores are already stock­ing
up the merchandise.
The Kroger Food Store
wants completion as soon
as possible."
Palmer, another build­ing
inspector, said that
all construction must con­form
to the regional
building code. Palmer
also said that although
the parking lot was com­pleted
and lined off, most
of the buildings were just
shells with a little of the
plumbing done.
Harding said that the
contractor for the group
planning center is the Joe

The men in the Magno­lia
Dormitory Complex
will be losing a man who
has played an important
role in their lives for the
last two years'. Mark
Connors, a graduate resi­dent
advisor at the com­plex,
will be leaving
today.
Looking back at the
time he spent as a Grad­uate
Advisor under Dr.
Schroeder, former direc­tor
of the Magnolia Com­plex,
Connors said, "It's
been a good experience.
Schroeder is the model
that I'll try to emulate the
rest of my life.
"The last two years
here at Auburn have been
the most productive and
enlightening years that
I've had. I'm sad to be
leaving," added Connors-
Born and reared in
Suffern, N.Y., Connors is
the son of two teachers,
which Connors said, "is
probably why I decided to
stay in education."
Connors went to under­graduate
school at
Davidson College in
North Carolina. He said,
"It had about 1,200 stu­dents.
You might call it a
southern Ivy League
school." Connors re­ceived
his bachelor's
degree in psychology
from Davidson.
"I came to Auburn in
1976 to work on a gradu­ate
degree in Student De­velopment,"
added
Connors.
Smith Jackson, new di­rector
a t Magnolia Dorm­itories
said there was a
more important reason
why Connors chose Au­burn.
"Both of us were
new here at the same

for academic reasons; we
wanted to study under

Last summer, Connors
worked with the pre-col-lege

has been a great help,
he's good at public rela­tions,
helping parents and

HOW TO BUY A DIAMOND
There are three
approaches to buying a
fine 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
it...and never look back.
2. Buy from a discount
operation. It's probably
been priced much more
than it's worth...but then
you can buy it for 60
percent 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 Stone"...
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
ff.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 and
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.
Ill S. College St.
Auburn
DID SOMEBODY SAY
"FLAWLESS?"
Marquise
Emerald Cut
Pew 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-polnt
diamond is just over half a
carat.
But:
a brilliant cut diamond
of 1 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 1-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
l-carat stones—and they
cost a good deal more than
twice as much as l-carat
stones of similar quality in
other respects.
The clarity of a diamond
is important. Almost all
diamonds contain tiny in­clusions—
minute imper­fections
included in them
when they 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
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, Art-carved,
Jabel, Advance
and Diane.
When you have the
time...come to Wares for a
chat about diamonds. We
answer questions honestly.
We are pround of our 30
years in the American
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 without having
the opportunity to first see
the diamond under a Dia­mond-
scope. (The Dia­mond
scope is a scientifi­cally
designed instrument
with back light and bl-opt-cal
advantages nev->

cation. Ware Jewelers will

Be kind
Be kind to freshmen.
As freshmen wander in and around Haley Center, mouths agape at the size
and friendliness of Auburn, let us remember one thing: We were freshmen
once. Most of us wandered around campus, amazed at the same things. And
most of us got lost in Haley Center.
Easily recognized by the Auburn orange notebook in their hands, freshmen
are on their own for the first time, and without Mommy and Daddy, Haley
Center becomes a maze. Even with Mommy and Daddy, Haley Center is a
maze.
Therefore, when freshmen timidly request directions from us upper
classmen, let us also try to refrain from giving directions to the third floor
bathroom or Ralph Brown Draughon Library.
Perhaps we should keep down the frequent references.to dead dogs,
month-old grease and high prices in the cafeterias. Avoid kicking dogs on the
concourse and referring to certain waste with such frequency as can be heard on
the concourse or in the halls.
The freshmen are a rare, remarkable breed untainted by_ the more routine
things in life such as exams, housing and roaches. They look to life at Auburn
as a magic mystery tour, and with some of the directions they're getting, it is.
We're glad to see the freshmen arrive. They are the students who will carry
on the traditions of Auburn in three years, and provide new programs that defy
traditions. Be kind to a freshman today.
No paper
Don't look for a July 6 edition of The Plainsman, because of the long Fourth
of July holiday there won't be one. This year The Plainsman staff will enjoy a
break: from the usual routine to celebrate Independence Day.
Auburn University offices will be closed July 3-4, and students will have a
tworday vacation from classes.
The Plainsman will return with the July 13 issue. Enjoy the break, and have a
safe holiday.
Crowds
There's been some rejoicing among the administration because summer
enrollment is expected to clear 7,600. That will be the highest summer
enrollment this campus has ever experienced. And fall quarter enrollment is
projected to top 18,000, with official predictions putting the figure around
18,300—again the most students ever to attend Auburn. ....
The crowd this summer isn't bad. It's not even inconveniencing, if you have
your lunch hour scheduled later than the conventions ana pre-college
counseling sessions have their a scheduled.Butithe sudden influx of students this
fall will, once again, be tragic. Fall students will face long lines, cramped
classes, and worse, housing shortages. Women's housing has already sent
around notices saying there will be many more triples in the fall, which will
severely restrict on-campus life. New apartment houses are being built, but not
enough to house the extra students, who will be forced to live either in dumps
or in Opelika.
President Harry M. Philpott said last April that admissions are not controlled
by housing. ' 'When we run out of housing, it's up to the students to find a
place to live." Perhaps Philpott would care to take boarders in his presidential
mansion—about 300 of them?
Officials point to long range plans for a new dorm complex, then to long
range predictions for a rising enrollment, even though other institutions are
losing students. Meanwhile, emrollment is rising and the whole University is
getting a bad case of the cramps. Maybe something a little more short range is
in order.
Officials are always moaning about lack of student support for University
programs. Here's the support. We're willing to help. Where's the dorm?

The Auburn Plainsman is the student-edited- newspaper of Auburn
University. Signed columns represent the opinion of- the writer, while
unsigned editorials represent the opinion of The Plainsman's Editorial
Board.
I am writing this column for The
Plainsman because of a very strong
opinion I expressed to the editor
concerning the events that occured
Thursday, June 13. That night Perry
Griggers, an Opelika youth, was
killed by a gunshot pursuant to a high
speed automobile chase involving
many law enforcement officers in this
area.
Stories of the incident have ap­peared
in many papers, including
those in this area. These stories seem
to have been tainted somewhat as to
what actually happened early that
morning. Very few know exactly just
what did go on.
I am an EMT with the ambulance
service in Lee County and was on duty
that night and early that morning. I
was listening to a police band scanner
during that time and heard most of
the transmissions from every officer
involved in the chase.
Members of both the Auburn and
Opelika police departments, the Lee
County Sherriff s Office, and the state
police tried desperately, almost franti­cally
over and over to force the driver
of the car to stop. They tried
stationary roadblocks, which the
driver either eluded or ran right
through, as well as a "slow moving
Guest
John
Robinson
roadblock" using two transfer trucks
side by side on the interstate which
had been contacted by C.B.
The youths simply plowed right
through the median. During this
chase the youths narrowly missed
several people and vehichles, and
without a doubt endangered the
safety of every driver on the roads that
night.
The controversy surrounding the
entire event focuses around a member
of the Auburn Police Dept., Al
Baker, who fired the shot that
resulted in the tragic death of the
Griggers boy. At one point in the
chase, the youth's car apparently
stalled in the median.
Baker, who had been pursuing the
youths for some time, stopped behind
them and approached on foot.
One must understand that after
everything that had occurred up to
that point, these two boys were not
being treated merely as a couple of
kids out for a thrill. No one knew who
was in the car nor why they were so
frantically eluding the officer's cars.
As Baker approached them, the car
spun away, wheeled around, and
headed straight for him. His pistol
was drawn in an entirely defensive
move and as the car struck him, the
weapon discharged into the open
window on the driver's side and struck
the passenger, the Griggers boy.
Did the driver stop?
No way! The car sped off and was
finally stopped some minutes later. So
much for what went on.
My dissatisfaction stems from the
way in which the media seems to be
placing the blame for the death on Al
Baker's shoulders.
Al Baker's gun may have fired the
shot but he did not "cause" the
death. It was the actions of the driver
of the car in which Griggers was riding
that caused the death.
Griggers was an innocent victim,
true; but not of the policeman's
faulty judgment. It was the driver's
actions and judgment that was
faulty, to the point of being maniacal.
From what I have heard, the driver of
the car has a history of this kind of
stunt. Obviously, he had learned no
lessons from any of the previous
times. As in many, many cases, it
takes a needless fatality to hit home.
It was very fortunate that there were
no other serious injuries that
morning. All too often that is not the
case. Bystanders often end up hurt or
dead from just such actions.
I feel as if I can safely say that I hold
no biases for Baker. I do not know
him, nor does he know me. I can say
that if I put myself in his position that
night, I would probably have acted in
the same manner.
When I saw him just minutes after
the incident he appeared visibly
shaken. I am sure he had no idea that
he had shot anyone until the car
finally came to a stop.
He has, and will suffer much agony
over what happened. That agony does
not need to be rubbed in his face by
journalists looking for a story of
"police hostilitly." From what I have
gathered, Al Baker has an excellent
reputation. I would hate to see him
lose it needlessly.
All of the facts will come out at a
later date. I only ask that each person
reserve their opinion for that time—
for Al Baker's sake.

Yes, gone are the days of the dam-slide
Gone are the days of the dam-slide.
Yes, gone are the days of the
dam-slide, one of the many local
curiosities which the transient group
of people known as the Auburn
student body has made famous, at
least to themselves.
Back in 1973, when as a wide-eyed
freshman I was taken to the dam-slide
by a group of fraternity fellows who
were showing me around Auburn, the
little spillway off Wright's Mill Road
about a mile out of Auburn was a
popular gathering spot for bcer-drinking,
fun-loving Auburn stu­dents.
One should have become wary of
the spot to which he was being taken
as soon as the turnoff to the dam-slide
was made. The rutted, rocky clay road
was blocked intermittently by fallen
trees, mudholes and returning fun
lovers.
The dam-slide itself was at the end
of a one-lane trace of a road which
must have at one time been joined to
a similar road about 20 feet away on
qmKmM*jMw'*Kf**-
Pat
O'Connor/
the other side of the dam-slide by a
wooden bridge.
A walkway of sorts led across the
spillway, which joined a small lake
(known for its ice-cold water) to a
muddy stream which meandered off
into the woods, probably towards
Chewacla State Park. The specifics of
the origin or destination of the water
which provided so much fun never
bothered me, since I was not from
around Auburn and knew nothing
about local geography.
A thin layer of water flowed
constantly over the top of the "dam"
and slid about 30 feet to the rocky
stream below. An accumulated
j growth of algae and moss helped the
slick qualities of the flowing water
give the slanted concrete of the
"dam" the ideal qualities of a slide.
Many an Auburn student ruined
the seat of a pair of shorts or bluejeans
sliding down that wet ramp.
The only trouble with sliding was in
reaching the bottom without hitting
one of the many rocks below. The
"dam" had a lip at the bottom
which helped to project the slider out
over the water a bit, but hidden rocks
lurked beneath the surface for the
not-so-careful.
One daring and seemingly fun
§reject that was initiated at the
am-slide was making a swinging
rope that took one out across the
surface of the slide.
The rope was tied to one of the
supports that held up the walkway
ana the brave person who was,next in
line would grab the rope, and
standing up, slide down and across the
slick concrete surface. The trick was to
do it without falling.
And if one fell, he was in a
precarious position by the time he
reached the bottom of the slide where
the hidden rocks lay. Unless of course,
he did not let go of the rope and was
dragged back across the slide by the
momentum of his swing.
The latter possibility happened to
me the only time I ever tried the rope
trick.
Once, when streaking was the thing-to
do in Auburn, a couple of
beer-drinkers decided the dam-slide
was a good place to show it all. So
they quite nonchalantly got undressed
and made a trip down the slide. I
guess the price their bottoms paid was
too much for another trip for they did
not do it again.
Many a hot afternoon, just like the
ones we are having in Auburn now,
were spent at the dam-slide, a id
many a cold beer was consumed tnt»e.
I do not know who owns the land
around the dam-slide, but sometime
during 1974, that person, or someone,
stretched a steel cable across the
opening of the dirt road leading to
the dam slide.
It was probably a wise move, since
the slide was actually a dangerous
place, especially for people who had
been drinking. And the amount of
trash left on the ground and in the
water was probably a nuisance to the
owner.
And that was the end of the
dam-slide as I knew it. No longer did
I gather with a group of fellow
students on hot afternoons and trek
out to the Saturday afternoon para­dise.
No longer did I have to keep my
eyes open for water moccasins as I
swam about.
I was saddened by the closing of
what I believed to be an Auburn
institution.
And I still feel the call of memories
as I pass the road to the dam-slide
where the cable, now rusted and
posted "No Trespassing" blocks the
way.
But I pass the road on my way to
another Auburn institution, Chewa­cla.
There I go and, against the
warnings of signs, I climb the
waterfall and sit amongst the spraying
water from the Park's lake and watch
other not-so-daring sunbathers and
think about Auburn and the days of
the dam-slide.
Letters Snelling tells his side of WEGL incident
m :A-Clj
Auburn public officials
advise stranded visitors
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am writing about a recent incident
that happened Monday, June 26,
during freshman orientation. A
young lady and her mother inadver­tently
locked their only set of car keys
in their late model Cadillac. At this
point we tried to get in her car by
using various-and-sundry items, but
to no avail.
Now we decided to contact campus
security because everybody knows that
campus security can solve any prob­lem.
They were very courteous and
would have been pleased to help but
their only door-lock tool had been
recently stolen. They referred us to
Auburn City Police who in turn
referred us to the Auburn Fire
Department.
The fireman on phone duty was
glad to offer several solutions to the
problem such as, "Go to your front
yard...take a rock...and smash it
through the window...and you will
then have your keys."
When asked if that was all he could
suggest he replied, "There is one
more way. I could drive my Volks-wagon
over there and smash it into
the damn door and that will break the
damn window and you will have your
keys."
After this last good suggestion we
decided to call local Cadillac dealer
for help. At the present time we are
still on hold.

Editor, The Plainsman:
I am writing in response to an
article which appeared in the Tune 22,
1978 edition of The Plainsman
concerning the recent incident at
WEGL. The poorly 'written story
misquoted Chuck Measel, the station
manager, included a young lady who
had left the station the quarter before
and managed to distort other facts
involved.
A warning on the play's language
preceeded its broadcast and an open
apology, to those who might have
been offended, immediately followed
the play. All actions taken by the
Afro-American Association and others
was done out of their own initiative
and without my knowledge or con­sent,
contrary to what the article states*
As for Measel's impression that I
didn't care (referring either to my
being fired or the consequences that
he felt running the play would bring),
I'd like to say that I spent a large part
of the past nine months working at
the station and trying to make the
Black Experience a credible and
relevant talk show and an insight into
the many aspects of Black culture.
Any idea that I didn't care about the
station, my working there, or the
show, are totally ignorant.
By firing me I feel that Chuck made
a valid decision (under the circum­stances)
Which took into account the
well beitac of the station and its
personnel, out at the same time he
could have been less biased andtaore'
open minded about the affair.
Hopefully the Black Experience will
weather this temporary setback and
return to the air in September to
continue in its efforts to relate and
improve the Black Experience at
Auburn and elsewhere; however this
and other incidents will make the job
even harder.

AU pharmacy 'extents'
struggle in Mobile, Ala.
Editor, The Plainsman:
We are writing The Plainsman
Xding the letter published in the
»1 paper (6-22-78) about intern­ships
having to pay half of the tuition
and being paid minimum wage.
It seems some people don't realize
how good their situation is. We are
two pharmacy extems working in
Mobile 40 hours a week receiving no
wages whatsoever. Therefore, we are
paying $200.00 per month for an
unfurnished apartment as well as
$50.00 per month to rent furniture.
We feel we have a legitimate gripe
because we had to pay full tuition this
quarter (every extern does), and yet
we never even see the Auburn
campus. It seems the pharmacy
administration could prepare some
type of contract with an economical
apartment complex here because each
quarter up to four externs must come
to Mobile, find an apartment that will
lease for three months, and go
increasingly in debt without any
compensation (save "experience").
We also feel we are being taken
advantage of as ' 'free labor.'' We are
currently working in a pharmacy
where the proprietor used to pay
minimum wage, but the Pharmacy
School requested he quit because
none of the other externsnip sites paid
anything.
Thanks a lot!!

Student claims murder of the orient expression
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am really upset. I am perturbed.
The Plainsman of June 22 con­tained
an error that grated my nerves
like fingernails screeching on a black­board.
A commonly misapplied word
was once again musused and abused.
Page A-12 carried the unfortunate
blunder' in the headline "UPC to
Orientate." According to my often-neglected
dictionaiy, "orientate"
means "to face the east." If the UPC
did indeed face the east I would
understand, but I have visited many
times and the UPC office most
assuredly faces South.
The word you want is "orient,"
which one does in an orientation
session. Everyone I know says "orien­tate,"
and I lose a morsel of sanity
with each misapplication.
Please don't take anymore of
dwindling morsels. If your editorial
staff would utilizate its capabilities,
we could reconciliate such matters
without having to dramatizate them.
Thanks—I appreciate your printing
my plea, and next week I'll correct
any misspronounciations or miss-spellings
you may have. Until then...
Kerry Bradley, 4MK
Editor's Note:
According to the Merriam Webster
Dictionary, Sixth printing, 1975:
orientate 1. ORIENT 2. To face east.
ORIENT, as explained in the
dictionary is a cross-reference here for
"orient, " which is synonymous with
orientate. Besides, orientate fit the
headline space better. Thanks for the
help, though.
Editor, The Plainsman:
When will it end?
The short-sighted, constantly com­plaining
Mr. Parker has been suc­ceeded
by Chuck Anschutz, and even
greater journalistic irresponsibility.
That, in the face of all evidence, Mr.
Anschutz should publicly presume
(Plainsman 6-22-78) a lack of restraint
on the part of the policeman who shot
the passenger in the speeding vehicle,
is (especially from his vantage point)
inane. Then, to compound his felony,
our "editor" blithely stated that a
speeding car should not be pursued
by the police, since pursuit only
prolongs the chase. What utter
imbecility!
Since the able Christy Hudgins

Editor, The Plainsman:
Journalism at its best is an honest
unbiased look at all aspects of a
particular event or issue. At its worst,
journalism is a slanted and sloppy
representation of a fraction of an
entire picture. The Plainsman came
quite close to the latter in the recent
article of May 25th on Men's Housing
and Dorm 7.
The Plainsman represented the
actions of a minority of the men
receiving the hard-earned. and well-deserved
privelege of additional on-campus
housing as being indicative of
the feelings and attitudes of the
majority. Whether the article is an
honest effort that fell short, a
deliberately misleading representa­tion
of a few of the facts or the results
jf some hurried editor's chopping the
fact remains that it leaves a mistaken
impression.
We believe it to be in the best
interest of all concerned to express
some of our feelings, motives, and
ideas on the acquisition of Dorm 7.
Dorm 7 provides a fresh, new environ­ment
from which to begin the work of
repairing the ailings image of men
who live on campus. Dorm 7 will be
more convenient for many of us.
Dorm 7 will simply, because of its
newness to us, provide challenge and
stimulus.
These views do not represent the
entire range of feelings on the subject,
but we are of the opinion they
represent the thoughts of the majority
of those moving to Dorm 7 with more
accuracy than the article.

'Got any classes in the HTE building?'
I feel sorry for the incoming
freshman this fall who are walking
down the concourse wondering to
themselves, "What is the HTE
building?" and trying to find Haley
Center.
New students are going to have
problems finding Haley Center unless
they have a campus map or ask
someone, because Haley Center is in
such bad shape that it is literally
falling apart, letter by letter.
It seems that if the University was as
concerned with building maintenance
as they are with the condition of the
grass, we would all have a more
pleasant atmosphere.
How can I be a loval War Eagle fan
if all the buildings around campus
look like a slum? I think I'm going to
turn in the orange notebook I got at
Freshman orientation and call it quits.
I have to admit it; I'm ashamed of
what the buildings on campus look
like.
The last time that Haley Center was
painted was when it was opened in
1969.1 think this is ridiculous. If the
buildings are in such poor condition,
why doesn't someone do something
about it?
Paul Kearney, director of the
Physical Plant, said, "I'm aware that
there are a lot of buildings around
campus that are in need of paint.
There are some buildings such as Mary
Barry
Webne
Martin Hall that
shape than Haley Center.
' We don't have enough personnel
to start painting buildings. We have
about 400 employees right now and
some temporary help," added
Kearney.
Kearney also said that he is not
aware of the policy of the previous
administration at the Physical Plant.
"It's history, and I think that I'm
unjustified to criticize someone that I
know little about."
According to Kearney, buildings
around the Auburn campus are
supposed to be painted every five to
six years on the average. Kearney
claimed that the upkeep on Haley
Center was poor because of lack of
personnel.
In the case of buildings that serve as
dormitories, the Physical Plant has
Sainted only those structures which
uring the summers were unoc­cupied.
This policy was changed this
year.
"We never painted a dorm before
where the students were living," said
Kearney. "We tried it at Dorm J this
past year and it worked fine. There
were no real problems with the girls,
as we had thought. We set up a daily
.schedule of what was to be painted.
The girls were only disturbed from
their rooms for a day."
Kearney says the main problem is
that students complain about the
conditions of buildings, and they
really don't know what is entailed in
painting a building.
"With some 80 buildings on the
\uburn campus, students don't know
what a big job it would be to start a
painting program," Kearney said.
When is the University going to
take some action towards the con­ditions
of the buildings? Kearney said
as soon as he gets the people he needs.
In my book, I think it will be at least a
few more years, maybe by the time I
graduate in 1981!
Kearney said that a schedule would
be made as to what buildings are
going to be painted and when.
When asked if IKJ had received any
complaints from the administration as
to the conditions of some buildings,
Kearney replied that it was his job to
point out conditions of buildings to
the University administration.
Kearney also said that Comer Hall
was in the worst shape on campus,
and that buildings such as Martin
Hall, Haley Center and the Engine­ering
shops follow close behind.
Auburn University is in desperate
need of a good maintenance system
that will include the upkeep and
outside appearance of buildings.
A more watchful eye must be kept
on how the Physical Plant uses its time
in relation to the maintenance of the
University. We can't let Auburn get
beyond repair.
Editor, The Plainsman:
Betsy Butgereit's recent column
describing the women's summer
housing situation clearly defined the
fallacious reasoning behind some of
the decision emanating from the
Office of Student Life.
First, Dean Cater has been under
the erroneous assumption for the past
years that Auburn women prefer to
live on the Hill simply because no one
has brought it to her attention that,
the women would like to live
somewhere else. Realize that this past
spring quarter, engineering women
from Noble Hall expressed to Dean
Cater a desire to live in Noble during
the summer.
Furthermore, I also went to Dean
Cater last quarter an asked to live in a
dorm not located on the Hill for the
summer. Finally, I will go so far as to
argue that in the proceeding years, the
women of Auburn University have
had this recurrent complaint, but it
wasn't until this year that it was
openly discussed with the Dean of
Student Life.
I can still remember hearing last
spring the grumbling of a few girls
who had to move all their belongings
up to the Hill. So, apparently there
has been a demand to have housing
either in the Quad or in Noble for the
summer quarter. Perhaps, a clearer
channel of communication between
Dean Cater and the students could
have been an important factor detect­ing
this demand.
But then, Dean Cater argues that
by opening up other dorms, economic
inefficiency will develop. The impact
of this contention is significantly
reduced when Dean Cater allowed
eight engineering women to stay at
Noble Hall for the summer. Ad­mittedly,
the pre-college counseling
girls will be staying in this dorm
for part of the summer. After they
leave, however, electricity, water, and
other services will still be needed.
Economic inefficiency will take place
because these women could have
these services in a Hill dorm.
Finally, I believe that it is necessary
ror me to reiterate the fact that this
summer a few engineering women
were allowed to live in Noble Hall
while the other women on campus
were denied this privlege. Granted,
they may have had backing from the
Engineering department and Ex-Mag­nolia
Director Charles Schroeder, but
is it fair to allow them to stay in a
dorm one block from the main
campus, while everybody else is
practically a half-mile away?

Out in

Sports Editor
Sports is a funny thing.
It's nearly unique, from the writers stand point,
because of the "Poetic" or "Journalistic License"
afforded to the sports writer.
The writer doesn't have to follow some strict
guidelines that the news writer has to follow, although
the sportswriter has to be accurate.
We can second guess and speculate without getting
into trouble. If we make mistakes, it usually won't
change the economic structure of the world powers or
start a war.
It's a happy job, kind of like playing a game and
getting paid for it. Of course, I've heard the fun will
wear off with age, but I'll have to see it to believe it.
It can be crazy sometimes. One of my peers has
called it "the kinky life."
This week was one of those kinky weeks. As far as
that goes, the last two weeks have been kinky.
It started when my staff and myself were able to
break two stories before two other local papers could
get the information.
On top of that, I've got a lady sports writer who is
making certain local sports reporters paranoid or
Jealous because she is doing such a good job of
discovering things others can't find out.
When the wheels started turning this week to get a
new basketball coach, things started to jump.
People had names from everywhere. We opened up
all stops. We camped out at the Athletic Department.
We cultivated sources. We begged.
We made long distance phone calls to Arkansas,
Tennessee and to nearly every trustee in the state. We
called President Philpott. We tried to call Governor
Wallace and we wanted to Call President Carter but
his number was unlisted.
We had the the information on Coach Sonny Smith,
but we couldn't prove it 100 percent. We felt pretty
good about the whole thing until Monday night when a
Montgomery sports caster on television dropped the
bombshell. "Sonny Smith will be named the new head
coach tomorrow."
We thought he was out on a limb, but obviously he
knew one person we weren't close to. It could have
been his aunt who happened to be on the Board of
Trustees or probably an old golfing buddy who just
happened to know something.
We tried. We didn't get it first, but we will be here in
the weeks to come trying to beat the competition.
Pro Bail
I never thought I would be playing basketball with
the pros. Well, I didn't actually play with the pros, but
I had the pleasure of playing two hours, 10 games and
eight pounds of beer and junk food with Stan
Pietkiewicz.
Stan will be reporting to rookie camp for the Braves,
formerly of Buffalo and probably moving to San Diego
soon.
Rumors have it that Mike Mitchell will sign for ovei
$100,000 a year, with a $25,000 bonus to sign and a
one-year no cut contract.
I'd like to be in Mr. Mitchell's will.

"Auburn Football Illustrated," Auburn University's
official football program has been honored by the
' 'CoSIDA Digest" as the third best football program in
the nation.
In determining the programs to be honored, CoSID A
jompares the football programs from every school in
he nation and judges these programs in such fields as
graphics, editorials, cover design, amount of hard
copy which changes from week to week and overall
appearance.
The publication, produced by the Sports Information
department, was edged out of the top spot by Notre
Dame, which captured first place, and Michigan State
vhich copped second place. The University of
Michigan tied Auburn for third place honors.
Buddy Davidson, sports information director, is in
Atlanta today to receive the award being presented at
Jie annual meeting of Sports Information Directors.
"It's great to be recognized by your peers and to win
an award," Davidson said. "We have lots of pride in
>ur publication and a lot of people work hard to
>roduce a program that a fan will find useful and
aijoy."
Davidson went on to say, "We don't try to 'buy'
iwards by spending a great deal of money on frills to
impress judges. Some schools try to run a very slick
program and pay guest editorialists and use expensive
marketing gimmicks to play up their programs.
"One of the areas not considered in the awards
determination is financial success, and I'm sure that
Spitrts

we have one of the most financially successful
publicaUons in the naton."
Davidson explained that, "Almost all of the articles
and interviews are written by the staff members at
Auburn; it's exclusively an in-house deal. David
Housel and Mel Pullium put a great deal of effort into
the writing and production of the magazine."
' 'Over 60 percent of our program changes from week
to week, and this is a high figure.
"We use the program as a vehicle to sell the entire
campus. University Relations has a six-page spread
each week to emphasize different aspects of the
University."
David Housel, the major contributor to the publica­tion
said, "You can't edit a publication to get an
award. A publication is successful if it meets the
reader's needs—that's the key point. If the publication
happens to win an award, that's fine.
"The success of "Auburn Football Illustrated" is
not due to any one person. We have a total team effort
on the part of many people. Some of the people who
deserve a lot of credit include Sherrie Murphy of
Craftmaster Printers, Tex Williams of University
Relations, and Les King and his staff of University
Photographic Services, among others.
"Work on the programs begins in summer quarter
and continues until the Tuesday of the week that the
program will be used. The number of programs
printed and sold attest to the popularity of the
publication," Housel said.
This is not the first time that an Auburn University
sports publication has been honored by CoSIDA. The
1976 basketball program, compiled and edited by Mel
Pulliam, assistant sports information director, was
named tops in District III, which includes the
Southeastern Conference, and came in second nation­ally.
As pleased as he is with the announcement of the
award, Housel stated, "Any publication can be
improved. We could offer the readers more complete
coverage of the game, more features, more up to date
articles, and more copy as opposed to ads."
As Davidson put it, "We want to give the readers
the best magazine possible. We're proud of the third
place honor, but we're always striving for number
one."
Olympic camp succeeds &OL/?

"It's really amazing
how much improvement
can be made in just four
days," said Steve Suttich
at last week's Olympic
Development Volleyball
Camp held at the Univer­sity.
"These players and
coaches have worked
super hard, and their new
skills are evidence of that
fact."
Suttich, acting as co-director
of the'camp, was
an Ail-American from
UCLA and led his team
to a national champion­ship
in 1976. That 1976
team later defeated the
highly-touted Japanese
All-Stars in 1977 in what
Suttich called his "most
thrilling experience in
sports."
Sharing the co-director
spot with Suttich is Sue
Gozansky, the men's and
women's volleyball coach
at the University of Cali­fornia-
Riverside .
Gozansky played on the
U.S. National Team in
1969-71, and served as
coach for the Samolian
Men's National Team in
1973 and was assistant
coach for the U.S. Student
World Games Team in
1975.
Gozansky prescribes to
the Eastern style of

coaching in which the
coach is actively involved
in the practice. "Coaches
must possess certain
skills before they can
expect their players to
master those skills," she
claims.
This philosophy was
practiced in the camp at
Auburn. Coaches at­tending
the camp were
required to go through
the same drills the stu­dents
went through.
According to Gozansky,
"Many of the coaches
expected a camp where
they could stand back
and observe, but I was
really impressed and
pleased at the way that
they adapted to the active
role placed on them."
The camp attracted
coaches and high school
and college players from
all- over the eastern
United States.
Jess Ziccarello, recent
high school graduate
from Wippney, N.J., was
one of the many out-of-state
students present.
"I learned about the
camp through Volleyball
Magazine and flew down
to take advantage of the
opportunity to learn from
some of the world's best
players," he said.
Leslie Stahl, a staff
member and player for
three years on the U.S.
National Team, and
player now at Brooklyn
College said, "The future
of women's volleyball

Fucci plays Alaskan baseball
By Danielle Murphy
Assistant Sports Editor
Just because Auburn's first baseman
Dom Fucci is playing in the Alaskan
League for the summer doesn't mean he
will be left out in the cold for things to do.
Fucci has the option of going to play ball
for the Chicago White Sox or he can
continue to play ball on the Plains.
The aggressive offensive player hasn't
commited himself one way or the other.
"I got a call from the White Sox the
other day," Fucci said. "I talked to
them, but I won't know anything for sure
until the end of the summer."
The somewhat cocky junior wouldn't
comment on how much the Chicago Sox
were offering, but did say that unless he
got an offer for a phenominal amount of
money he'd probably be back in Auburn
for next season.
"I'm real happy to have the opportuni­ty
to go with the White Sox, but I
seriously doubt that I won't be back in
Auburn next year. All the guys are
coming back so we will have a pretty
good team. If I get drafted next year I
will really be considering it."
Fucci is in Anchorage, Alaska for the
summer and playing in what he calls
"one of the best leagues in the United
States. They have a real organization up
here."
Fucci became interested In the Alask -
an League after Auburn's former
pitcher and presently a member of the
Los Angelos Dodger's AAA team, Joe
Beckwith played in the league two years
ago. "That's how I got my connection,
but after that I worked it out myself.
They called the coaches to see If I'd
come up here."
Fucci is rooming with a Michigan
ballplayer. They live with a family by
the name of Wilson."
"I don't know of any players that are
up here now that are from the SEC. Most
of the guys are from the west coast. The
majority are from Arizona State and
Southern California.
For the past two weeks Fucci has been
playing against an All Star team.
"We've been playing exhibition games,"
the record holder for base hits and stolen
bases in a season said. "So we can get
loosened up. Most of these guys haven't
played ball for two or three weeks.
"It's a busy summer but it's a fun
summer. I didn't figure I'd get the
opportunity again.
Besides playing ball the players are
working too. "I don't have a job yet, but
they arrange jobs for us, so I've just
been playing ball. The towns people are
real good about that.
"For instance, if the Burger King or
McDonalds needs someone to drive a
truck for them or deliver some stuff we
can do it."
Fucci said he didn't have much spare
time so he didn't have to worry about
things to do. "We go to work from 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m. and then we start playing ball
at 6 p.m.," Fucci said. "After playing
ball we get a bit to eat and go home and
go to bed."
Fucci said the girls in Alaska are
about the same as anywhere, but he
hasn't had the time to meet many. "We
play ball on the weekends and If and
when we have anytime off we can go to
the mountains. There's snow up there so
if you're a skier you can go skiing.
"I'm not a skier but they have been
trying to talk me into it."
Fucci is planning to return to Auburn
in mid August. "My girlfriend is suppose
to be graduating in August so I'm going
to try to come down for that."
The only complaint Fucci has con­cerns
the mail service or lack of It. "The
mail service isn't that great up here. It
takes three or four days to get a letter In
or out of here.
"We talk about once a week," Fucci
said, referring to his girlfriend, "These
phone calls are pretty expensive. I try to
keep my parents informed too. They are
of course interested in what's going on."
The talented ball player may have the
image of strength and determination,
but if the 65 degree weather up there
doesn't get him back to the Plains then
according to his mother, just the pure
fact of being "homesick would."
By Doug Darr
Plainsman Outdoor Columnist,
This week's feature concerns local county public
fishing lakes: Chambers County Lake and Lee County
Lake. Both lakes offer good fairly conalstant fishing.
For your convenience clip this column each week so
you will know how to go to these locations.
Last week we featured a float down the Tallapoosa
River. There was an unfortunate deletion In the
distance traveled on Highway 40. It should have read:
"Take a right on Highway 49 and go about eight
miles." Another thing that I would like to mention Is
that canoes are available locally through Adventure
Sports in Opellka. They are $16 a day or $38 a weekend
which Includes paddles, life jackets, a car-top carrier
and canoe.
Now for the county lakes. Both lakes are made
available to the fishermen by the Alabama Conserva­tion
Commission, Division of Fish and Game. They
are fee lakes and require a one dollar dally permit In
addition to the $8.36 Alabama fishing license. The
limits for each species are posted at each lake. All fish
that are kept need to be weighed at the concession
area for management reasons. All tagged fish should
also be noted to the concessionaire.
There Is a $.50 launch fee required if you take your
own boat. John boats are available for $1.50, batteries
are $2.00 and electric motors are $1.50. Floatation
devices are required and rental is available for $.50.
Soft drinks, snacks, lures and bait are also sold at both
lakes. Chambers County Lake allows trolling speed
use of outboard motors.
Lee Co. Lake
Lee County Lake is the closest of the two lakes. Lee
County Lake is about 12 miles down Moores Mill Road.
Moores Mill Road runs off of Samford near the
Auburn Junior High School.
Fishing has been extremely good for bass for some
people. The key is where not to fish.
There is little oxygen below 7 or 8 feet, so fish are
shallower than this. Marked fishing reefs and other
submerged structure have paid off.
Larry Clay and Tim Sherriff have caught four to
seven pound bass with Tim getting a nlne-and-a-quarter
pound lunker near marked spots. Fishing has
also been good early and late around the shoreline—
Balsa "B" being a good lure.
Catfish fishing has been good too with one string of
six fish going 80 pounds. Some Wallege have been
caught on the dropoff at seven feet.
Chambers Co. Lake
Chambers County Lake is a good half-hour drive
from Auburn. To get to the lake, take Interstate 85
North toward Atlanta. Take the Cusseta exit (the first
exit In Chambers County) and go left. Ten miles down
this road is the entrance to Chambers County Lake.
Fishing has been slow for bass, but it has been
picking up. Again the oxygen may be a problem, so do
not fish too deep. Bluegills have been hitting crickets,
and Shellcrackers are being caught on red worms.
Crappie fishing has been slow and there was no report
of any White Bass-Striped Bass hybrids being caught.
Have a safe weekend.
July 4 Fishing Report
West Point Lake—Fishing has been fair to poor.
Bass have been caught early and late with plastic
worms, deep. Crappie, more small than large have
been caught around bridges and off piers at night.
Small bream have been caught on crickets and
worms. Report from Burnt Village Marina.
Lake Eufaula—Fishing good. Bass have been hitting
plastic worms on ledges best. Some large ones have
been caught with deep crank baits ranking second.
Crappie are biting fair and poor at night. Report from
Chewala Marina.
Lake Martin—fair, with water clear. Spotted bass
are hitting fair to good on plastic worms. Crappie are
fair to poor. The clear water Is making fishing tough.
Pylant expects good season
By Johnny Haslam
Sports Editor
Caught in her home in
Opellka for the summer,
a busy but relaxed Jan
Pylant, coach of the Au­burn
University Women's
basketball team, is
looking forward to next
fall and winter.
The reason being the
attractive schedule for
her Lady Tigers and an
Improved season.
"I'm looking for a good
season," the attractive
young coach said. "We'll
be a young team with
only one senior, Merriane
Merrit, but we improved
some toward the end of
last season and we signed
a High School AU-Ameri-can,
Marcia Player from
Valdosta, Ga."
Merrit was the leading
scorer and all-round
leader for the Lady
Tigers last season and theH
addition of the 5-11 player
should help strengthen
the middle for Pylant's
third team at Auburn.
The Lady Tigers boast
an attractive schedule
with games scheduled in
Nashville and the Omni in
Atlanta, with tourna­ments
in Starkville, Miss.
and Lexington, Ky.
The Lady Tigers will
have the opportunity to
host the AIAW Regional
III Tournament if they
can finish first or second
in the Alabama state
Tournament. The Reg-ionals
will be held in
Auburn whether the
Tigers place in the tour­nament
or not.
The schedule will be
tougher than last year's
according to Pylant.
The University of Mis­sissippi,
last year's
region winner will play
the Tigers this year and
Pylant rates the Lady
Rebels as one of the
toughest teams in the
South.
Another Interesting
rivalry could be the ad­dition
of the University of
Alabama at Birmingham
to the schedule. Pylant
and UAB coach Fran
Merril were opponents in
highschool ball in Ten­nessee.
Pylant said the Tigers
had a good recruiting
year and the recruiting
game wasn't hard "once
you get the girls on
campus."
Pylant hopes the
women can travel with
the men's team on the
Saturday-Monday trip to
Tuscaloosa and Stark­ville,
for preliminary
games at Alabama and
Miss. State.

And the band played on PtKMograptiy: WIN Dickey
Rain forced the band Menagerie into the Student
Activities Building Monday night, but the move did not
hurt the performance. Menagerie played the second
street dance of the quarter. The next one will be the
First National Rotagilla Band on the Union Patio July
10. The Rotagilla Band has appeared on the TV shows
Midnight Special and Saturday Night Live. The last
street dance of the quarter will be Revolver on July 27.
A mini-concert will be held July 19 in the Graves

Rotagilla set for dance
By Pat O'Connor
Entertainment Editor
The First National
Rotagilla Band will play
the third street dance of
summer quarter July 10
on the Union Patio.
The band specializes in
ragtime, folkrock and
traditional music and
plays a 50's show, a
"Boys in the Band" show
and a tongue-in-cheek tri­bute
to "Deliverance"
called "Dueling Gut-buckets."
Using a unique style
and presentation, Rota­gilla
performs with
banjos, guitars, mando­lin,
steel guitars, kazoos,
fiddle, trombone and an
electric washtub. The
group has appeared on
The Midnight Special and
Ask
Org
Saturday Night Live TV
shows.
Rotagilla, incidentally,
is "alligator" spelled
backwards.
Live members make up
the First National Rota­gilla
Band. Bill Sabo, the
ringleader, plays banjo,
fiddle, mandolin and gui­tar
as well as performing
some vocals.
Gene Eberhardy plays
the guitar and mandolin
and can reportedly do
either while tooting a
kazoo and doing the
Charleston. Mike Cun­ningham
is, "the only
known virtuosos on the
Mountain Cello," (he
plays the Washtub or Gut-bucket
Bass, whatever
that is). Cunningham also
sings and plays trom­bone.
Butch Malone plays
guitar and sings. Jim
Carpenter plays acoustic
guitar, steel guitar and
sings.
The Rotagilla Band
performed last summer
on the Union Patio and
has received acclaim at
many places in the South­east.
In case of rain, the
street dance will be held
in the Student Actvities
Building.
There will be one other
street dance during the
summer, featuring Re­volver
on July 27.
Dear Org:
My girlfriend and I were walking through Samford
Park the other day and passed by the Lathe. I was
shocked to notice that the Lathe failed to turn as my
girlfriend passed by, and she tearfully admitted to me
that she had been unfaithful and that she just couldn't
help herself! I refuse to take part in such seedy
dealings. What should I do? Sign me...
Busted
Dear Busted:
Drop her. But first, bring her by The Plainsman
office late one night and tell her to ask for Org.
Dear Org:
This past week I was at Auburn for freshman
orientation. We were told to act like mature young
adults for the next four years. Tell me how to do this
and still get away with all the wine, women and song
that I've been waiting, wanting and hearing about for
so long?
Tip. Fresh.
Dear Tip. Fresh.:
What do you think a mature young adult is, but
someone chasing after women, drinking all the wine
and singing out of key.

In 'East of Eden'
Dean hits Langdon
By Rebecca Jones
Staff Writer
James Dean will be
featured this week in the
UPC free movie, "East of
Eden."
The film will be shown
in Langdon Hall on
Friday, Saturday and
Sunday at 8:00 p.m. An
Auburn I.D. Is required
for admission.
"East of Eden" is
based on the novel by
John Steinbeck; how­ever,
the screenplay by
Paul Osborn uses only a
small part of the novel.
The film version deals
with the struggle between
a farmer, Adam Trask,
and one of this sons. The
jealousy and hatred of the
son, Cal, for his brother is
also detailed.
Although "East of
Eden" loses much of the
scope of the original
novel, it is still an enjoy­able
motion picture.
Directed by Elia Kazen,
the film uses rich color to
highlight a California
setting, with green pas­tures
and sunshine con­trasting
the mood of the
troubled characters. At
times the scenery seems
to tell as much of the
story as the people do.
Released in 1955, "East
of Eden" features a fine
cast, with James Dean in
his first big screen role as
an angry and confused
young man. Although the
New York Times claimed
that Dean was nothing
but a carbon copy of
Marlon Brando In his role
in the film, he still
managed to give a cred­ible
performance, as well
as capturing a vast audi­ence.
Raymond Massey Is ex­cellent
as the severe and
fanatically religious
father, and Julie Harris is
good in her role as Abra,
the girlfriend.
"East of Eden" Is not a
happy film, it is an emo­tional
experience that
may leave the viewer
feeling cold. But it is a
film that is well worth
seeing.
On July 6, "What's Up
Doc," a hilarious comedy
with Barb ra Streisand as
an eccentric girl and
Ryan O'Neal as an ab­sent-
minded professor of
musicology will be shown
on the social center lawn.
The movie Is for the
pre-college counseling
session that week, but all
students are Invited. The
movie begins at 9 p.m.
"No lime for Ser­geants,"
Is the free movie
for July 7, 8 and 9. "No
^ ^ M ^ ^ ^ —— —-—
Time for Sergeants"
stars Andy Griffith and
Don Knotts and Is a com­edy
about a Georgia hill­billy
who is drafted into
the Air Force and makes
a shambles of the mili­tary.
An A.U. I.D. is
required for the 8 p.m.
showing In Langdon Hall.

Damlen Omen II
Joseph Howard
199 pp.
If you have nothing
better to do than get
grossed out, curl up with
Joseph Howard's
DAMIEN-OMEN II, the
chilling sequel to "The
Omen." It Is guaranteed
to scare you to death
while boring you to tears.
The book is not worth
the two and a half hours it
takes to read. The
simple language, coupled
with an even simpler plot,
splatters you with enough
blood and gore to last a
lifetime. After a while,
you get sick of reading
about another innocent
victim falling into the
hands of a 13-year-old boy
and a big black crow that
get their kicks mutilating
people. That alone justi­fies
my statement of
scaring you to death
while boring you to tears.
The book begins with
13-year-old Damlen living
with his uncle, Richard
Thorn, power head of the
Thorn Industries in
Chicago, and his aunt
Ann, the seemingly de­voted
wife who married
Thorn after his first
wife's death. The couple
have adopted the boy and
they treat him as they
treat their own son,
Mark, also 13, giving
them all the luxuries the
Thorn money can buy. If
you read the first book or
saw the movie, "The
Omen," you might re­member
that Damlen
was orphaned when his
father, Rot*rt/,ftMufrd's
brother waa shot to death
on an altar In Europe
while attempting to stab
the young child because
he had discovered the boy
was the Anti-Christ. Of
course, the child Is not yet
aware of who he really is
and his father's violent
act is deemed insanity
caused by his wife's sui­cide.
Damien seems like a
normal boy, attending a
military academy with
his cousin Mark, and ex­celling
in campus sports.
But he is different and the
few unlucky people who
discover his "true identi­ty"
fall victim to a huge
jet-black crow which kills
its victims by pecking
them furiously with its
mighty beak. The first
victim, an eccentric aunt
in the Thorn family, is
murdered as she reads
her Bible in bed shortly
after warning Damien's
stepfather of the boy's
strangeness.
Victim number two, a
young woman reporter, is
gouged to death by the
crow on a lonely country
road after she had visited
the military academy to
confirm her suspicions of
Damien. After these two
brutal murders, it be­comes
apparent that any­one
who gets In Damien's
way will meet a violent
death. And the killing
goes on.
Throughout all the
gore, Damien slowly
comes to see just how
powerful he really is, and
he steadily grows to enjoy
disposing of anyone who
Interferes with him.
The plot rambles on to
a predictable ending.
There will more than
likely be a follow-up to
the book, like "Revela­tion
of Damien," because
the ending leaves you
wondering what is going
to happen next. I just
hope the potential follow-up
will be less bloody and
have a more Intelligent.

Falconer
John Cheever
211 pp.
Take a typical John
Cheever character: a
college professor of
worthy family lineage liv­ing
in a sterile New
England suburb with
sterile, well-manicured
lawns. The name of the
suburb fits: Indian Hills.
Now Imagine the college
professor's frustrated
wife in one of those stat­ion
wagons with wood
panel sides delivering her
son to a "good school."
The facts would suffice
but FALCONER Is not a
typical Cheever novel nor
is its protagonist, Ezekiel
Farragut, a typical
Cheever character.
Farragut has a small
problem with an addic­tion,
not to cooking
sherry or pipe tobacco,
but to heroin. And he has
been moved by society
from Indian Hills to cell-block
F, Falconer Prison,
for killing his brother.
Much of the imagery of
the novel is presented as
a blurred vision (which is
appropriate in the be­ginning)
because of
Farragut's methadone
high and his resignation
at being cut off from the
home he never had.
On the surface
FALCONER may seem
to be another crime and
punishment novel or
another novel about a
once wayward individual
who did time in prison but
struggles to overcome his
decadent past and is re­born,
or something like
that.
When Farragut pro­tests
to an orderly at the
prison infirmary about
not receiving his dose of
methadone he learns that
he has been on placebos
for nearly a month. He
had beaten his addiction
but could not congratu­late
himself since he was
not even aware of it.
When a friend of Farra­gut's
decides to escape by
disguising himself as an
acolyte during the visit of
a Cardinal and then leav­ing
with the Cardinal's
party, he succeeds and is
proud of his. brilliant
plan. He later learns that
the Cardinal knowingly
aided him In his escape
and only the graciousness
of His Eminence, made
the escape possible.
"The Farraguts were the
sort of people who had
lived in a Victorian
mansion and when this
was lost had moved back
to the family home­stead...
who claimed to be
sustained by tradition."
The Farraguts in fact
survived because they
were not inhibited by the
will to survive.
With the mastery of his
addiction, Farragut is re­conciled
spiritually with
his family. "An image of
his family, his hated ori­gins,
loomed up in his
mind. Had that antic
cast-that old man In his
catboat, that woman
pumping gas In her opera
cloak, his pious brother-had
they conveyed to him
some pure, crude and
lasting sense of perser-verance?"
When Farragut es­caped
prison successfully
in a bag meant for the
body of a dead inmate, he
is without feelings of
anger or remorse. His
escape was a mhacle and
a miracle is enough.
FALCONER may not
be the greatest achieve­ment
of Cheever's
career, but it is at least
an excellent complement
to his other works and a
book worth reading.
