Student board selects
presidential favorites
By Steve Farish
Plainsman Staff writer
The student advisory committee
has recommended in a letter to
members of the Board of Trustees
that either James Martin or Steven
Sample be appointed the next
president of Auburn University.
"The most outstanding man on
our list.was Dr. James Martin,
interim president of the University
of Arkansas.said SGA President
Ron Taylor, who is chairman of the
student committee. "We feel he
has many management skills, and
he is a proven fundraiser," Taylor
said.
Taylor called Martin's
personality "a big factor" in the
endorsement by the student com­mittee.
'"He's the kind of man
people will take pride in," Taylor
added.
Martin's "Auburn ties" were
also a factor in the endorsement,

SGA blood drive fails
to meet goal of 4000
By Anne Harvey
Assistant News Editor
The annual SGA Red Cross blood
drive held in Auburn last week fell
short of the 4,000 pint goal by 1,136
pints forcing the Red Cross to go to
Montgomery and Birmingham to
call donors and make up for the
loss.
"Each hospital has to make an.
estimate on what they think they
will need (for the year)," said
Virginia Rogers, blood program
director at the Re d Cross station in
Opelika. "The blood center (in
Birmingham) has a master
schedule for the entire year for
drives throughout the state, and
they try to plan for what is needed
for the year."
"When it falls short like this it
really puts things in a bind,"
Rogers said. "Surgeries that
weren't emergency situations were
probably postponed."
The Red Cross depends on a
large collection of blood in the
Auburn drive because it normally
is the largest drive in Alabama.
The drive was expected to reach
about 4,000 pints because of the
response during the last few years.
Last year 3,833 pints were collected
here. The state record of 4,812 was
set by Auburn in 1967.
All the mobile units in the state
were sent here for the drive and
most of the Red Cross nurses.
Processing is done within six
hours after a donation and distri­buted
within 24 hours. During
processing the blood is separated
into useful parts.
If blood is not used by a facility it
can be shipped back during its
legal life period of 21 days and
re-distributed, eliminating waste
of donations.
First place winners in the compe­tition
were: Alpha Epsilon Pi,
Sigma Nu, Alpha Phi Omega,
Maranatha House, Division D,
Dorm 5 and Delta Gamma.
Taylor said. "Dr. Martin has a
special understanding of where
Auburn has been and where
Auburn is going," he added.
Taylor also said the endorsement
came on the basis of Martin's
"very strong academic record"
and his "excellence in relations
with students, faculty and
alumni."
Taylor said the other candidate
his committee recommended was
Dr. Steven Sample, executive vice
president for academic affairs at
the University of Nebraska.
"Dr. Sample has a very strong
academic record, especially con­sidering
his age," Taylor said.
"His expertise in academics
could continue to improve
Auburn's academic process,"
Taylor added, and "he could com­mand
the respect of leaders across
the state."
Taylor said the impression the
committee received of Sample was
that of a "very astute, very intel­ligent
person."
The student committee met with
all five of the presidential finalists
as they came to campus in the past
week for one to two hours each.
Taylor said the committee made
its final recommendations after a
three hour meeting Tuesday night,
at which the letter was drafted.
Dr. Cooper King, chairman of the
faculty advisory committee, said
his committee has yet to meet to
make its final recommendations.
He said such a recommendation
would probably not come in the

nominations like the student letter.
Sen. Robert Harris, chairman of
the search committee, said his
committee would meet with both
the faculty and student groups
today or tomorrow on campus.
Harris said he expects the Board
of Trustees' meeting, which was
canceled on Monday, would be
rescheduled within the next week
or two. He said the search commit-

Drying out
Rainy weather is no stranger to Auburn this time of
year. Students cringe at the cold, wet rain, but steady
rain for several days like Auburn experienced

By Rick Harmon
Editor
Like some Biblical golden calf,
their god had begun to demand
human sacrifice.
Their god .was a thing called
victory, and this time the sacrifice
was a man named Craig Gilbert.
Gilbert had been promised an
education by the University of New
Mexico in return for the use of his
athletic ability. Because he
listened to his coach and took
credit for a course he never
attended, he had not been given an
education.
Instead, he had been suspended,
given a bad name and given a
ticket back to the social strata he
had tried to use his ability to
escape. In short, Craig Gilbert had
been used. He was not alone.
The University of New Mexico
was caught using eight other
players the same way—some of
whom had no idea their transcripts
had been altered. The University of
The first segment of The Plainsman's examination of athletes and
academics at Auburn documented a number of grade-fixing incidents
involving Auburn athletes. The second segment showed how coaches and
athletes were placing much stronger emphasis on the importance of
obtaining an education. The final segment of this series attempts to
portray the NCAA's effect, or lack of it, on an athlete's academics.
Robert Kennedy Jr. blasts Carter's ability
ByFordRisley
Entertainment Editor
Following defeat in the Iowa
caucus, Jan. 21, the Kennedy cam­paign
came to Auburn last
Thursday apparently resolved to
step up its criticism of President
Jimmy Carter.
Campaigning for his uncle,
Robert Kennedy Jr. said to an
overflow crowd in the Foy Union
Ballroom, that President Carter's
inability to take a stand is the
reason why the United States is
"being pushed around all over this
planet today."
Referring to the recent events in
Iran and Afghanistan, Kennedy
said, "Jimmy Carter has never
drawn a line on the ground and
said, 'Don't step over the line. I will
not abide by it.' "
He said the President's foreign
policy is dependent on "which side
of the bed he got up on that
morning," a statement that drew
applause from the audience.
Unlike Carter, he said,Senator
Edward Kennedy has "taken
stands in his lifetime, unpopular
stands, but he has taken them
vigorously."
It is for this reason, he said,that
many old supporters of former
Gov. George Wallace are now
supporting Massachusetts senator.
"They see that this nation needs
some kind of leadership, on the
issues, some kind of commitment
from its leaders and some kind of
vision of wnat this nation could
be."
The Wallace supporters, he
added, should hate Senator
Kennedy because of his stands on
various issues, "but they are will­ing
to put those partisan issues
aside in favor of somebody they
think can give this nation leader­ship."
Robert Kennedy Jr., a graduate
of Harvard and now a student at
the University of Virginia Law
School, came to Auburn Thursday
to cooperation with the UPC Hori­zons
and the Student Government
Association.
A nephew of the late President
John F. Kennedy, he has been
living in, Birmingham as coordi-
SPEAKING FROM THE HEART
.Iowa loss brought Robert Kennedy Jr. to Auburn on uncle's behalf
nator fo the Kennedy campaign in
Alabama. The 26-year-old Kennedy
first came to the state in 1976 to do
research on his biography of Judge
Frank Johnson.
Pacing across the stage through­out
his speech, Kennedy spoke at
length on the Senator's national
health care program which he
called "the victim of the most
intensive propoganda campaign in
this nation's history."
Kennedy said the United States
has two systems of health care—
one of the rich and one for the poor.
"This country should not take a
backseat to every other industrial­ized
country in the world in provid­ing
its citizens with some basic
form of health care," he added.
Kennedy closed his 20 minute
speech explaining his personal
view of what leadership could do
for the country. He said the most
frightening thing to him about the
country today is "the sense of
helplessness and impotence I have
seen all over, even this state."
He cited a personal goal for the
country, a comprehensive solar
energy program, financed by the
federal government. Kennedy
compared such a program to the
space program and said, "today
the sun is much closer to being
harnessed than the moon was to
being touched."
Afterwards, Kennedy answered
questions from the audience. On

Oregon, the University of Utah and
Arizona State were also found to be
altering athlete's transcripts.
Even if the National Collegiate
Athletic Association had not sus­pended
Gilbert and the other
players, it is doubtful they would
have received any real education
at institutions that would doctor
their transcripts to keep them
eligible. Whether the actions had
been discovered or not, the players
would have been cheated—used.
But the NCAA through its close
scrutiny of the players' transcripts
had become aware that these
schools were breaking the NCAA's
detailed regulations concerning
athlete's academic requirements.
Well, not really.
In truth, the NCAA only scruti­nizes
a player's academic record
"if there is a specific charge
made," according to NCAA inves­tigator
Lou Onofrio. Onofrio also
said the NCAA has few regulations
concerning an athlete's academic
career.
- • - - • '
As far as the NCAA is concerned,
the only major rules it enforces j$*v
after an athlete has entered college ;'*?&*

the requirements other students
were required to fulfill."
The discovery of the New Mexico
university scandal did not come
about because of NCAA scrutiny,
but as the offshoot of an FBI
investigation into gambling at the
university.
After the scandal broke David
Cawood, director of public rela­tions
for the NCAA even said "this
type of allegation is not a violation
of anything in the NCAA manual."
In reality the NCAA has few if
any safeguards to protect an ath­lete
from being used by a college or
university.
"The way we feel about it," said
Onofrio "is once the player is in
college, his academics are mainly
an institutional responsibility."
Basketball Coach Sonny Smith
said he could see how some
coaches would be put in positions
like the New Mexico State situa­tion.
"There is a great deal of pres­sure
to win coming from alumni
and students," he said.
"This pressure is on the coaches,
and many of them who can't stand
up to it pass it on to the athletes.
Finally it reaches the point where
they all will do almost anything to
win."
Although Smith said not every­one
on the basketball team would
get a degree, he said he did not feel
he was using players.
"There is one person on the
team," he said "that almost
certainly won't graduate. But he

a degree, playing time is the only
chance he has at a good career."
Football Coach Doug Barfield
said he thought no Auburn athletes
were being used, and that the
athletic administration owed a
player the opportunity to get a good
education.
"When a player signs with
Auburnr" he said, "I feel that it's a
two-way obligation. And I'll do
everything in my power to help the
athletes help themselves to and get
an education.
"Sure, for selfish reasons, we

Dear Dwight,
(Yes, I mean YOU, Morgan!) I'm sorry this is late, but the
Plainsman just wouldn't cooperate by coming out when I needed it
to. Bet you thought I'd forgotten it, didn't you? Well, you're wrong.
How could I possibly forget the happiest 4 months (1 / 3 of a year!)
of my life? I couldn't! Every one of the past 123 deliciously
wonderful days is etched upon my memory permanently, and, since
I couldn't be with you on this special day to tell you a few things, I
hope you don't mind me taking this opportunity to do so publicly.
1.1 love you. More than I could ever say or you could ever know.
2. I'm so very proud to be your girl. I'd like to shout it from the
rooftops, but J thought that maybe this would do as well.
3.1 am so thankful for you—all you are and all you've done for
me. You've made my life just what I'd always dreamed it could be,
but I really never thought that I'd be lucky enough to find you.
You're so wonderfully perfect (as you well know) and I'm so very
fortunate to be vours.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, DWIGHT MORGAN! I LOVE YOU!

Information on five top finalists
pages Thursday, January s i , 1980 IheAuburn Plainsman
. .The top five choices of the
Presidential Search Committee
have completed their visits to
campus. The following is a
brief of biographical information
on each of the top five.
By Steve Farish
Plainsman Staffwriter
H. Hanly Funderburk
Dr. H. Hanly Funderburk, \8, is
chancellor of Auburn University at
Montgomery. He has been chief
administration officer at the
Mongomery branch since its incep­tion
in 1968.
Funderburk has guided AUM
throughout its growth process.
Twelve buildings have been con­structed,
a master plan was
developed, curricula formulated
and faculty hired under Funder­burk.
He also develops each year's
budget and presents it before
various state bodies.
Funderburk has also served one
year as the assistant dean of the
Graduate School at Auburn's main
campus for one year, prior to
which he taught and did research
for six years in the botany depart­ment
of the School of Agriculture.
Funderburk received his
bachelor's and master's degrees
from Auburn. He subsequently
earned his Ph.D. at Louisiana State
University.
The deans at AUM, who asked to
remain anonymous, said Funder­burk
is fiscally conservative."He's
probably one of the best fiscal
managers in the state," said one
dean.
About his personality, another
dean said, "Some of the faculty

tee will make its final recommen­dations
to the full Board at that
meeting.
"Everything the search commit­tee
has said would come true has
come true," Taylor said, in
response to criticism from some
faculty groups that the search has
not been open enough. "It has been
a good nation-wide search."
The other three finalists who
visited the campus were Dr. H.
,Hanly Funderburk, chancellor of
.Auburn University at
•Montgomery; Dr. Rex K. Rainer,
head of the Alabama Highway
Department; and Dr. Ernest
Smerdon, vice chancellor for
academic affairs for the University
of Texas system.
may perceive an austere and dis­tant
personality, but that may be a
trait he exhibits."
James Martin
Dr. James Martin, 47, is interim
president of the University of
Arkansas. His permanent title is
vice president in charge of agricul­ture.
Martin has held the position in
agriculture since 1975. He was
previously dean of agriculture and
life sciences at VPI & SU in
Blacksburg, Va. for seven years.
At Arkansas, Martin has the
responsibility over 2,000
employees, $27 million and 26,000
acres of land.
Fund-raising is one ability
Martin calls one of his strong
points. He has raised more than $4
million in outside monies for the
agriculture department.
Executive Vice President
Womack of the University of
Arkansas said, "Martin knows the
contributions a land-grant univer­sity
should make to the state. He
has made a significant contribution
to agriculture in the state,"
Womack added.
Martin received his B.S. degree
from Auburn, where he played on
the basketball team. He received
his M.S. degree in agriculture
economics from North Carolina
State University, and he earned a
Ph.D. in the same field from Iowa
State University.
Rex K. Rainer
Dr. Rex K. Rainer, 56, is
presently director of the Alabama
Highway Department, but his per­manent
position is professor and
head of the department of civil
engineering at Auburn.
Before his government appoint­ment
by Gov. Fob James, Rainer
had served 10 years as department
head. He had previously spent six
years as an associate professor in
the department of building science
and the department of industrial
engineering at Auburn.
Rainer has a varied background
in business. He founded his own
architectural, construction and
steel fabrication consulting firm,
serving as chief executive officer
11 years before coming to Auburn.
Associates of Rainer stress his
organizational ability as a strong
point. Don Lucas, Rainer's
assistant in the highway depart­ment,
said, "because Dr. Rainer
helped us define what our mission
was, we were able to determine
those elements which were
essential and effect some
economy."
Rainer received both his
bachelor's and master's degrees
from Auburn. While on leave from
Auburn in 1967-68, Rainer worked
on his Ph.D. from Oklahoma State
University.
Steven B. Sample
Dr. Steven B. Sample, 39, is
executive vice president for
academic affairs at the University
of Nebraska.
In that position, he serves as
executive officer to the president of
the 40,000 student institution.
Sample is responsible for policy
affecting faculty and students,
review of appointment, promotion
and tenure applications, review of
new academic policies and
budgets.
Sample's major accomplish­ments
at Nebraska include re­vision
of existing tenure rules,
implementation of a program for
sabbatical leaves and revision of
academic and fiscal planning at
the university into a single system.
Dr. Ronald Roskins, president of
the University of Nebraska, called
Sample's experience in his
"strategic position" a qualification
for the president's job. "He can
deal frontally with major issues,"
Roskins added.

The five candidates
The presidential search has narrowed to
five finalists, and those five picks indicate the
searcji has indeed been open, unbiased and
nationwide.
Only the final selection, however, will
show just how open a search it really was, and
just how much student and faculty opinions
have been respected.
,The student advisory committee has
recommended that Dr. James Martin, of
Arkansas, -or Dr. Steven Sample, of
Nebraska, be chosen as Auburn's next
president.
We feel the committee offered some very
strong arguments in supporting Martin and
Sample, citing their relative youth, academic
credentials, administrative abilities and per­sonalities.
If the Board of Trustees chooses one of
these men as Auburn's next president, we'll
know why, and that student opinion concurs
in the choice.
If the Board chooses another man for
president, we trust it will make its reasons
known.
Why the small paper r?
High woe silver.
It has recently occurred to the members of
this paper tha the days when a masked man
could leave silver bullets are truly "the days
of yesteryear." Many of our readers may have
noticed that silver prices have soared more
than 700 percent over the last year. Even the
readers that did not notice this may have
noticed how little there was to read in this
week's Plainsman.
The two facts are closely related. Most
newspapers use a process which makes use of
a high degree of silver to develop their print,
and regrettably The Plainsman is no excep­tion.
Because of the mercurial rise of printing
expenses, this paper has had to cut back on
the amount of pages and with it the amount
of news and favorite features (i.e. "Doones-bury")
to break even.
The staff is doing everything possible to
solve the present crisis including cutting back
on salaries, seeking additional areas of
revenue and even recycling old galley sheets.
We hope to have the crisis under control
soon. Please bear with us until we do.

Few facts wrong, view stands
Steve
Farish
Just plain wrong.
That is what I was in my column last week
concerning three circumstances surrounding
the American Association of University
Professors, one of the groups I criticized for
attacking the presidential search process.
I said that group had never made up a
criteria sheet for presidential selection. They
did submit such a sheet. Unfortunately, the
Plainsman never received a copy.
I also said they had no members of the
faculty advisory committee1. In fact, two of
their members, Dr. Sarah Hudson and
Donald Vives, are on that committee.
My quotation by search committee member
Morris Savage that no members of the AAUP
have contacted him during the process should
also be clarified.
Members of the AAUP say search committe
chairman Sen. Robert Harris told them to go
through him in their contacts with the search
committee.
I apologize to the AAUP for these errors;
however, I don't back down from my principal
bontention that the presidential search process
has not been conducted in a "clandestine"
manner as they assert.
As one who has followed the search process
as closely as anyone around, I can unequiv-ocably
say the students and faculty of Auburn
University have been given a fair chance to
have input in the selection process.
The student and faculty advisory commit­tees
have had the right to submit criteria for
the presidential applicants, to view the
resumes of the 16 final candidates, to interview
the five final candidates and to make their final
opinions known to the search committee.
The student committee has even recom­mended
two men to fill the shoes of Dr. Harry
Philpott, and as one who knows personally the
members of the search committee, these
suggestions will be taken extremely seriously
when the final decision is made.
The final decision will rest in the hands of
very responsible members of the Board of
Trustees.
As the ultimate authority at Auburn
University, that is exactly where that decision
should be made.
A danger now lies in the attitude of those
groups of faculty who feel the search has been
improperly conducted.
They themselves admit that because of their
feelings, a new president could step into his job
in uncomfortable surroundings.
Let's hope that despite their feelings, the
new president will come into office experienc­ing
the graciousness and support that should
be accorded him. •
If he doesn't, Auburn will find itself in a pit
of trouble from which it will be extremely
difficult to climb out.

Four-year student monster unleashed
It must get tiring.
Every four years, a bunch of us radical
student types raise cane about the date of city
elections. City officials and long time residents
are no doubt irritated by the commotion.
The controversy surrounding the date of
election arises because they're held in August,
when most students and many faculty mem­bers
are out of town.
The obvious complaint is that the August
date effectively disenfranchises a large seg­ment
of the cities voting-age population. It
would seem an open and shut case, but efforts
thus far to change the election date have met
with little success.
At least one petition was presented to the
City Council asking the Council to recommend
that the State Legislature change the law,
which sets voting dates uniformly according to
a city's population, and allow Auburn to hold
its elections in the spring or fall. That was in
1972.
In 1976 (guess how many years later?) two
students filed complaints with the local
chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.
Three students later met with members of
the City Council to discuss the matter.
As in '72, however, nothing came of it, and
after elections the student monster went into
another four-year hibernation.
In talking with city officials, one doesn't get
the impression of a bunch of hard-liners going
to any lengths to deny students their
constitutional rights. But there does seem to
Scott
Thurston
be a feeling of resentment that students are
making too much of too little.
One candid city official, for example pointed
out that not long ago students couldn't even
register to vote in Lee County unless they
were pern^nent residents of the area.
Once registered, she noted, they now have
an opportunity to exercise their rights, even if
only via absentee ballot.
Basically, this is the old, if-you-don't-vote-it's
your-own-fault argument.
But is it the fault of a student that he or she
doesn't have time to go through the laborious
process of voting by absentee ballot?
Either way, unless I've missed my American
history, the voting process in the United States
was never intended to be carried out through
the mail.
Granted, say the city officials, but is it really
worth all the trouble changing the voting date
for a bunch of people who probably won't vote
anyway? Another look back helps answer that
question.
In 1976, Lee County, at the request of the
SGA, held a voter registration drive on Haley
Center concourse. In one day, more than 1,000
people registered. The SGA asked the regis­tration
officials to return before the year's
elections, but they never did.
That 1,000 people would register to vote
indicates some interest on the part of students
in city politics.
Even without that statistic, however, the
argument that students don't vote asserts that
just because one doesn't vote one shouldn't be
able to, which is of course absurd. The problem
is not registration or the lack of it. The
problem is the voting date.
Like clockwork, the protests are renewed.
The SGA is again circulating a petition. Will
the city again ride out the storm and gain
another four years of bliss?
Perhaps, but not necessari y. With the new
approaches and perseverence that this year's
SGA seems capable of, and with enough
student support, chances are better than ever
that we can gain the opportunity, the real
opportunity, to vote in cii y elections.
Without that opportunicy, students will
never be a political force in a city built around
the school they attend.
And every four years, a few concerned
students will get hot and bothered about the
lack of that opportunity. And city officials will
get even more tired of it.
Until the election dates are changed, they
should.
That triumphal walk across campus
I'm gonna brag for a little while. This week, I
walked the three blocks from my apartment to
the Plainsman offices, and I didn't even get out
of breath.
You're probably already doubting my sanity,
but just let me explain. I'm proud of the
previously stated fact because only a few
weeks ago, such a feat would have been
impossible for me.
I was incapacitated because of a congenital
heart defect, whose name I can't even begin to
pronounce. The cause of the whole thing was a
badly functioning ventricular valve, and it was
further complicated by the presence of a hole
in a wall of the left ventricle. These two things
together caused a lack of oxygenated blood
returning from the lungs.
Fortunately, my problem had been dia­gnosed
earlier, (abut 12 years ago) and the
doctors at Birmingham's University Medical
Center were waiting for the right time to
correct the trouble.
The "right time" must have been this
summer, because on July 7, I underwent
surgery. The entire procedure (called a double
outlet right ventricle) took over seven hours. I
was the first one of agroupof 15 to go up to the
operating floor, and the last to return,
something which undoubtedly caused some
concern to my parents who were waiting
below.
Believe it or not, I was walking the next day.
Not much, mind you, but this nurse came into
my room and made me take a walk around the
Gene
Vandiver
room less than 24 hours after the completion of
the surgery.
My entire hospital stay lasted only eight
days, an unusually short time, and I went home
with a noticeable change in appearance. For
the first time ever, my lips and fingernails
were pink.
It's only been 12 weeks now since the
surgery, and already I have noticed things, and
have been able to do things which I could only
dream about before.
Gene was Plainsman sports editor for the
1976-77 school year and served as sports and
managing editor at several papers in the
Southeast after graduation.
Those of us who knew Gene were "just lucky
or something," because we "came along at the
right time." Gene died last Saturday night
from a heart attack.
The message of his life, however, including
this column he wrote more than four years ago,
still lives on.
For instance, I can walk from one end of the
campus to the other; I don't require as much
sleep and I can even play nine holes of golf
without riding in a cart.
There are still a few limits on what I can do,
but even these will be lifted in only a few more
weeks. I can't pick up over 20 pounds for
another month or so; I can't play tennis (yet)
and I still have to go pretty slow for a short
times.
It's even fun to have people who don't know
about the operation look at me and not be able
to figure out what is different about me. Some
people think I have lost weight, others think I
have gained, and some very observant souls
even tell me my complexion has changed.
I even surprised some of those who knew
about the operation by coming back to school. I
think they though I would be in bed a few
months.
Yes, it's great now, and it's gonna be even
more fun in a few months when I completely
recover. I can hardly wait to hit those tennis
and racquetball courts this winter.
It is still kind of hard for me to believe,
knowing that just a few short years ago there
was nothing that could be done for such a
condition. Maybe I was just lucky or some­thing,
because I came along at the right time.
You can feel even luckier, though, if you
don't have to go in for a tune-up before you can
lead a normal life.
Silver lining seen in recent news
Hostages in the American embassy in Iran
are entering their third month in captivity.
The Soviet Union has threatened world peace
by invading their neighbor, the sovereign
nation of Afghanistan.
The economy of the United States has been
battered by double-digit inflation over the past
year. Sixty cents per gallon gas is now only a
memory with two-dollar-a-gallon gas not too
far in the distant future.
With all of these clouds it would seem
difficult to find a silver lining, but there really
are many positive happenings around us.
For instance, Teddy Kennedy will not be the
next president of the United States. With
Teddy's popularity decreasing daily, Ameri­cans
can relax knowing the Teddy threat is all
but over.
The Bee Gees have not made an album in a
year. This situation could become even better
if the "fab" three go on with their plans to
disband the group.
There are actually some movies worth going
to see at the cinemas nowadays. Unfortunately
none of them are in Auburn.
Baseball season is only two months away.
John
Farish
Ronald Reagan will probably not be the next
president. This one is not as definite as the
Kennedy campaign, but a faltering Reagan
campaign is good news to those of Republican
persuasion who would like to win the
presidency in 1980.
Spring holidays are only seven short weeks
away. That,of course, means that Florida is
just seven weeks away.
Rowland Office, one of baseball's ugliest
players, has been traded from the Atlanta
Braves.
We don't have to listen to Howard Cosell for
at least seven more months.
Discos are closing at a record rate.
Ted Turner is still alive. His latest exploit,
rumor has it, was to purchase $1 million worth
of South African Krugeraands which are now
worth $4 million.
Mick J agger has grown a beard. Now all of
his fans don't have to worry about admiring a
singer who looks so much like a girl.
Hockey season is almost over.
Lewis Grizzard is back from his vacation.
Bob Dylan is touring again.
The majority of the prospective successors
to Harry Philpott are very competent men who
would do an excellent job for the University.
A good rock 'n' roll band is coming to
Auburn. Let's hope the Eagles begin a
.precedent of talented bands who include
Auburn on their southern tours.
The MARTA rapid transit is running in
Atlanta. It's got to be the best ride, outside of
Six Flags over Georgia, in the southeast.
There are now only ten months left until
Auburn wins the national football champion­ship.
Of course, included in the number one
ranking, is a resounding defeat of the "Crimson
Tide" from Alabama. So, everything is not that
bad.
Russians start new Olympic events
It's the summer of 1980, and I'm sure we're
all glad we didn't let politics get in the way of
the Olympics.
Yes, all the gala festivities are going on in
Moscow as scheduled.
The Olympics looked doomed earlier this
year when the Soviets took over Afghanistan
and we threatened to boycott. Luckily, we
decided that this was a very unsportsmanlike
move.
It again looked dark for the Olympics last
month when Russia invaded Pakistan, Iran,
and Delaware, but our decision to still
participate this summer was a true testimonial
to our Olympic spirit.
Showing good will, the Russians have
instituted a few new events to show outsiders
some of the strong points of their culture.
Earlier this week, we saw preliminary heats
of the 400-meter arms race. We also saw the
first running of the 3000-meter steeplechase/
invasion..
The third-world countries were looking for
the United States to be their main competition
in this event, but to their surprise the Russians
ultimately dominated.
There's only one new event yet to take
place. Let's go to Jim McKay and pick up the
action.
"This is Jim McKay and what a day for the
games. We've seen some great performances
so far including that of Natasha Dsvlgjtdinski,
the 4-year-old gymnast with four gold medals
who captured our hearts."
"Right now, we're waiting for the start of
one of the most interesting events to be added
Tim
Dorsey
to the games in years. I'm speaking, of course,
of the 'embassy takeover.'
"We're waiting for the athletes to get ready.
I think they're ready to begin.
"And here comes the mob now! I think it is,
yes, it's the Iranian team led by Bubba Ali
Abdul.
"Let's take a look at Bubba, 'up close and
personal.' "
"Bubba Ali Abdul was born in the back-streets
of Tehran. He showed promisp as a
youngster by organizing a nursery school
revolt and taking over the tinker-toy section.
"More recently, he gained notoriety for his
anticipation skills by always being where the
journalists are.
"He's just another enthusiastic and
unemployed member of his team who should
really add some flavor to today's competition.
Back to you, Jim."
v "Now that we have some background
material on the mob, let's watch them in
action.
"As you can see, they're carrying the
mandatory 20 posters of their leader as they
approach the front gate.
"They've decided to go over the wall! The
difficulty of the move is greater and they
should receive more points. They're looking in
top form.
"Oooo! one of the participants has fallen off
the wall and onto the pavement. They'll be
penalized heavily for that.
"They've penetrated the courtyard in great
time. The flag is now being burned.the judges
are looking for that. What style! Study that
stance! We're seeing Olympic history in the
making.
"They're going over the hurdles now. . .and
here's the water jump. Fantastic!' They're
inside the embassy now, and look at them
negotiate those stairs!
"They're going for the ambassador's door
now. They just could do it! The time they have
to beat is on the right of your screen.
"And . . . .they've done it! The gold medal!
Spectators are storming onto the compound. A
white-bearded man is being lowered by
helicopter. What a day! What a . . ."

One hour saved us from holocaust
Nuclear opponent not requested
Editor, The Plainsman:
In last week's Plainsman there appeared a
letter to the editor about nuclear energy, and
the speech Mr. Owen, senior vice president of
Duke Power, gave to a Forum group and
others concerning Three Mile Island and the
nuclear industry.
The letter condemned the Auburn student
section of the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers for not considering a follow-up
presentation, but the ASME has never been
asked to consider a follow-up presentation by
nuclear power opponents.
If the organization were asked to sponsor
such an event, the membership would consider
the proposal as they do all proposals. However,
ASME has no obligation to shape its programs
to promulgate every minority technical view
on every issue confronting the public.
The speech by Mr. Owen was not initiated
by the ASME although we were glad to assist
in any way we could. Our objective was to
inform the public about the problems faced at
T.M.I, and what the nuclear industry is doing
to alleviate further problems of this type.
Without defending Mr. Owen's speech, I
would like to say that the ASME seeks
speakers of the highest moral and professional
integrity, and we feel Mr. Owen fits the mold.
. It is evident to me and to the majority of
readers, I am sure, that many statistical
arguments hold about as much water as a
burlap sack. Nevertheless, statistics are
continually being used as levers in arguments
about most controversial issues.
Therefore, it is my personal opinion that the
public should not base their views on any
single set of statistics, but should obtain as
much information as possible, weigh the
advantages and disadvantages with an open
mind, and then make an intelligent decision.
The Auburn student section of the ASME
invites any concerned organization or individu­al
to attend our meetings, address any issue,
and propose jointly with the ASME any
feasible resolutions for the airing of their
views.

Everything is quiet now.
The cold wind sweeps over the gently
rolling, southeast Pennsylvania countryside,
ducking around buildings and seeping between
fences.
However, no humans block the wind's path.
No animals stand to block its force, no birds
soar on its currents.
The land is dead. Only once-bloated corpses
and skeletons mark where dairy cows once
grazed unmolested.
Only barren houses mark where thousands
of humans lived, and only rows of white
crosses miles away attest to their sudden
deaths.
The remains of the nuclear reactor also
stand testament, glistening white in the cold
winter sun.
There was an accident here a year ago. A
few valves failed to close, the reactor crew
acted late and improperly and the uranium
Tods vaporizing water to superheated steam
suddenly lay uncovered.
So the rods soon melted themselves, and a
molten flow of uranium fuel pellets tmd rod
casings started surging downward, toward the'
reactor casing's bottom.
Remaining water near the red-hot flow
exploded into steam upon contact, blowing out
the concrete between the reactor and the
outside world, and billowing into the atmo-sphere,
burning with heat and radioactivity.
Meanwhile, tons of melted fuel burned
through the reactor casing's eight feet of
reinforced concrete, and burrowed into the soil
below. Soon the land's water table became just
another source of radioactive steam, bursting
above the subsoil.
Dave
White
s?
Thousands of humans near the plant died
almost instantly from the radioactive fallout.
Thousands of others died more slowly, more
painfully, as so many gamma rays bombarded
their bodies.
Death also stalks fhe survivors: tens of
thousands of them are doomed to die of cancer.
The president's TV appearances beamed
over the hillsides, as he praised heroic rescue
efforts, the lack of panic and those Pennsylvan-ians'
valiant sacrifice for America.
They gave their lives so that America could
be strong, could have millions of kilowatts of
electricity to keep our country free. They were
brave Americans.
If the confusion surrounding the accident at
Three Mile Island nuclear plant last year had
lasted one hour longer, this story would be
nightmarish reality.
The Special Inquiry Group chosen by the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission said last week
that Three Mile Island came within "30 to 60
minutes" of a meltdown.
March 28, 1979, would have rivaled Dec. 7,
1941, for its infamy and its death toll.
Yet, less than a year after one 1 our saved
America from catastrophe, our government
allows some reactors to operate some 20 miles
from millions and millions of our people.
If or when the unthinkable happens and
death rains down from a meltdown, we won't
have the Japanese or Russians to blame for the
nuclear holocaust.
Only ourselves.
The Agony
of Defeat
Cheating warning called 'slap in face' to students
Editor, the Plainsman:
Professor David A. Thomas' letter warning
of a "wave of cheating" by Christian students
using Josh McDowell's "Evidence That
Demands a Verdict" is a slap in the face to
Christian students at Auburn.
The preface makes it clear that "Evidence
That Demands a Verdict" is a reference work
compiled so Christians can "document and use"
the material McDowell prepared for a lecture
series.
Thomas claims the preface states, "Christian
students will be able to use this material to
write papers, give speeches, and interject
their convictions about Jesus Christ and the
Scriptures in the classroom."
This is a gross misquotation. The preface
actually reads: "It is my desire that these
notes will help my brothers and sisters in
Christ to write term papers, give speeches and
inject in classroom dialogues their convictions
about Christ, the Scriptures and the relevancy
of Christianity today."
Thomas's twisting of the above sentence
implies McDowell is encouraging plagiarism
through the use of his material when
McDowell's true purpose is to provide a body
of facts and figures that students, and others,
can quote from.
Thomas called the book "...a prepackaged
set of outlines and quotations for students to
turn in as their own work."
If Thomas would thumb through the book
more carefully than he read the preface, he
would find a student who hoped to copy a
"prepackaged essay, speech or term paper
from "Evidence" would be out of luck.
As you said, Mr. Thomas, "The use of
another person's work as one's own is
plagiarism;" however, the use of another
person's work, properly footnoted, placed in
quotation marks if taken directly from the
work and acknowledged to be the work of
another, is use of source material.
Josh is not selling term papers and
speeches; he is publishing material that can be
properly used like any book in the University
library to prepare papers and speeches.
Any source can be misused, and plagiarism
can be committed by mistake as well as done
intentionally.
A student should never use the outline,
exact words or train of thought of the author of
any source as his own. Doing so is plagiarism—
whether the student realized he was misusing
the material or not.
It is my opinion, Mr. Thomas, that you
singled out and attacked "Evidence That
Demands a Verdict" because you disagree with
its content.
Believe what you want, Mr. Thomas, but do
not insinuate Josh is promoting plagiarism or
accuse all students who use his material of
being plagiarists, simply because your opinions
are not the same.
I have often heard it said that Christians are
not open-minded or objective, yet these same
people will not tolerate Christian's attempts to
defend their position.
Objectivity is a two-way street, Mr. Thomas,
and Christianity is a subject which will never
be limited to "...prayer meetings and church
youth groups," as your own unprovoked letter
of attack points out.
As for all of you out there who have no idea
who Josh is—hang in there...he's coming!

Instructor tires of rumor slandering department
Reader has his 'simple solution5
to summer Olympics question
Editor, the Plainsman:
I would like to pose what I believe is a simple
yet advantageous solution to the question of
the summer Olympics.
This solution would serve to embarass the
Soviet Union and really find out where the
nations of the world stand regarding the two
superpowers. Here's the solution:
President Carter would search for a city in
this country, or possibly in Canada, which
could handle an event of the Olympics'
proportion.
Since the International Olympic Committee
(IOC) will not change the site of the games, we
would invite all nations to come to our games,
as an alternative to the Olympics.
Yet, we could tell the IOC they could
transfer their approval to our games and call it
the Olympics any time before the games
began.
I would expect many countries to apply for
our games, especially those which oppose the
Russian presence in Afghanistan, and our
games would also show off national athletes to
the world.
Since NBC Television would broadcast the
U.S. games, I foresee a few communist
countries, not directly under Moscow's thumb,
coming to our games because of the exposure..
Once the countries of the world started
applying for our games, as hopefully they
would, the IOC would undoubtedly change its
approved site, or it would look as foolish as
Russia, with an Olympics with a split
representation of countries.
This solution could serve to make the United
States to look good without causing any major
conflict, and Russia would be left looking bad
after all the preparations it went through
preparing for the games.
Russia would have to remove itself from
Afghanistan, or suffer the ridicule of the
world, and our options for other action would
still be open.
Richard Shelby, 2PB
Editor, The Plainsman:
The time has come when I can no longer be
bombarded with mindless statements without
responding.
I continue to be amazed at the irresponsibili­ty
that many people show when, with feckless
abandon, they state rumor as truth and opinion
as fact.
If you are a mature, clear-thinker who reads
the Auburn Plainsman, you should know what
I mean. If you teach freshman composition, you
should know what I mean.
Now, if you don't know what I mean, I can
give you a specific example.
Sitting in a meeting one day last week, I
found our group being told that Auburn's
English Department required freshmen to read
material about homosexuality and then made
them go out and write papers about it.
Now this came as news to me, even though
I've been teaching in the English Department
since 1973.
At that point, my mind went in several
directions.
If homosexuality is, indeed, a topic in our
texts, I knew good and well it would be
discussed as any other controversial topic
might be discussed—to help students to come
to terms with it, not to indoctrinate them.
Then, I thought, maybe I'm so naive that
I've been reading material about homosexuals
and not even realizing it. At any rate, I
determined to find the truth in order to know
how to respond to statements like this, which
are intended to indict the department.
I talked to Dr. Bert Hitchcock, head of the
English Department, and Dr. Miller Solomon,
director of the freshman English program.
They said the above statement was "false,"
"unsupportable" and "inflammatory." I'm
convinced they are right.
Rhythm Aces 'defamed' AU
Editor, The Plainsman:
Did anyone see the Amazing Rhythm Aces
at the Jimmy Bullet co^s-ert last year?
I didn't, but I did see them the following
night at Brother's Music Hall (the old
Hollywood Underground)in Birmingham.
I had no burning desire to see the group, but
had a friend who did, so we went. The group
wasn't bad, but one thing that really surprised
me was the pleasure that Russel Smith and the
rest of his group took in making defaming
remarks about Auburn.
Russel Smith even said, "Man, I sure hope I
never go back to that place."
We 11, Russell, thank your big Tony, who has
you booked backup again in Auburn.
It isn't like headlining Brother's, with
someone giving away beer and barbecue, as at
last summer's live recording (what a crowd).
Since the Amazing Rhythm Aces have
nothing better to do, they are going to play
backup here again.
I know they are thrilled about it, and I
suppose I should be too, but I would like to see
a more discretionary utilization by the UPC of
its resources.
Kevin Moore, 2GC
As it turned out, the speaker told me later
that he had based his statement on an isolated
incident that had occurred when he was a
student at Auburn. He graduated seven years
ago.
He was, I think, sincerely apologetic about
his choice of illustrations to show "where our
Christian world is headed." But, and this is the
tragedy, his statement left all of the faculty
members who heard him with a false
impression of Auburn's English department.
It's'this kind of unsound thinking that I'm
writing about. It's what the English Depart­ment
is constantly up against. Let the truth be
known.
We instruct students not to make hasty
generalizations from isolated incidences or to
make inferences based on inconclusive data.
We tell them over and over that if they can't
support a statement with details, examples, or
illustrations, they are not to use it. We tell
them this until we are "blue in the face."
This, then, is the thrust of freshman
composition—to teach students to think logi­cally.
If we are guilty of anything, it's not the
attempt to indoctrinate or to deal in what some
might call lewd content; it is our abysmal
failure to wipe out the problem of illogical,
irresponsible thinking.
I think the person who makes unsupportable
statements is as blind to the truth as is the
individual w^ho "claims to see fern-seed and
can't see an elephant ten yards away in broad
daylight." '

WITH EXCITEMENT/
By Anne Harvey
Assistant News Editor
A public hearing concerning a
proposed ordinance to prohibit
solicitations of money in the right-of-
way of public streets will be held
at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday during the
next Auburn City Council meeting.
The meeting will be in the
Council chambers, 141 N. Ross St.
If passed, the ordinance will
prohibit roadblocks used fre­quently
by'fraternities and sorori­ties
when collecting money for
charity or other purposes.
The $GA liason to the City
Council, David Armbruster, has SGA stops proposal
to share a senator
opposed the ordinance since its
conception by the Public Safety
Committee. "I don't believe the
Council realizes how much the city
benefits from roadblocks," he said.
Mary Brooks, chairwoman of the
Public Safety Committee, said the
roadblocks are potentially danger­ous.
Brooks said she has received
complaints that students working
the roadblocks have been "hanging
onto car doors and putting their
heads into car windows."
According to the ordinance,
solicitations in the street "...have
caused severe traffic problems and
are a safety hazard to those solicit­ing
and to those operating a motor
vehicle within the City of Auburn."
By John G. Parish
Plainsman Staff writer
The SGA Monday defeated a
resolution which would have given
the new School of Nursing a shared
SGA Senator with the School of
Pharmacy.
SGA President Ron Taylor said
he thought the proposal would have
"been contrary to the standards of
equal representation set forth in
the SGA Constitution."
The Constitution states that each
school should have at least one
representative to the Student Sen­ate.
Several alternate plans were
suggested, one of which could
possibly be adopted in the next
Senate meeting on Monday. Pre registration schedule

One plan, similar to one proposed
last year,' would call for the re-allotment
of a senator from one of
the other schools, probably the
School of Arts and Sciences. This
would keep, the number of student
senators at thirty.
A second plan proposed by
Taylor would be an addition to the
SGA Constitution which would
allow for a re-evaluation of the
present representatives and a
change in the number of repre­sentatives.
The re-evaluation
would study reapportionment of
representatives because of growth
in enrollment since the last SGA
changes were made.
Those in the Nursing School who
had expressed a desire to declare
their candidacy are urged by the
SGA to wait to submit their decla­ration
of intent.

Tarzan, motivator of Martin cic
page 7 Thursday, January 31,1980 The Auburn Plainsman
•
It all started 53 years ago when
he, a 12-year-old, started exercis­ing
so that his body would look like
Tarzan's.
More than five decades of
regular exercise have not given
65-year-old "Coach" Albert
Martincic bulging muscles like
Tarzan's, but his devotion to physi­cal
fitness has given him an
amazingly strong body, emotional
well-being and a career sharing the
Joy of physical fitness with others.
The retired Auburn University
professor is popularly known in
the Auburn area for the exercise
class he has personally sponsored
on campus since 1961..
What has motivated him since
the age of 12 to maintain a daily
exercise routine? Martincic ex­perienced
such "feelings of eu­phoria,"
that he just kept up the
practice of exercising daily there­after.
Besides faithfully exercising,
Martincic's health program is
fairly simple. He neither smokes
nor drinks. "I take wheat germ,
yeast and vitamin supplements,"
Martincic said. He described his
diet as not a special one.
An important part of
Martincic's daily routine is his
evening exercise class. Recalling
his first impressions of the class he
started because a faculty member
suggested the idea to him,
Martincic said, "I didn't think it
would last." But the class has
lasted, growing from that first
class of 15 to a current daily
average of 100 participants.
Monday through Friday even­ings,
students, faculty and staff
members join the fitness enthu­siast
for a rigorous hour of leg
lifting, toe touching, back stretch­ing
tummy flattening and hip
walking. Effortlessly, he out per­forms
the class, predominantly
comprised of 18 to 23-year-old
coeds—especially when it comes to
the 50 push-ups and the 65 sit-ups.
There is no charge for the class.
Anyone interested can attend the
class as often as desired.
Martincic- said he didn't enforce a
set of rules or charge a fee because
then the class would be "a drag."
In addition to the exercise class,
the retiree said that seven days a
week he begins the morning with
100 push-ups followed by two and a
quarter miles of jogging.
LEADING A DAILY EXERCISE CLASS
...at 65, Albert Martincic's stamina surpasses most student's
"The class keeps me in touch with
the students, and it keeps up my
morale," Martincic said and that
is what he particularly enjoyed
about the class.
Another morale-booster in
Martincic's life is his wife,
Mickey. "She's the greatest," he
brightly commented about his
spouse who is more than 15 years
his junior. Martincic • met his wife
several years ago in his exercise
class. They were married two
years ago on the day he retired, he
added.
It is unlikely that retirement will
ever mean a rocking chair for
Martincic . Now more than ever
he continues to exercise in order to
maintain his physical well-being
and to prevent what he calls the
most common disease of his a g e -
depression.
' 'Exercise seems to do away with
depression," he noted. "The phy­siological
output of the body is
increased and this gives a more
optimistic outlook," Martincic
said, explaining the relationship he
has observed between exercise and
depression from his 31 years of
experience, teaching physical edu­cation
and working with rehabilita­tion
programs.
Martincic's first professional
teaching position was at Auburn
University. Having received his
bachelor's and master's degrees
from the University of Iowa, he
accepted a position as a physical
education instructor at Auburn in
1948.
"I love Auburn," the Milwaukee,
Wis • native said in his character­istically
enthusiastic voice.
Martincic's parents Immigrated
from Yugoslovia to the United
States. "The people here are terri­fic
" he said.
In addition to his affiliation with
the University, Martincic has
worked with numerous programs
for the handicapped, retarded and
elderly at Samford Middle School,
The Opportunity Center in Opellka,
the Opelika Nursing Home and
many other locations in Lee
County.

The Auburn Rairaman Thursday, January 31,1980 page 9
Cage popularity
slipping at AU?
By Steve Beaird
Plainsman Sportswrlter
Despite drawing the seventh-largest
crowd in Auburn basketball
history, 12,251, last week in the
Tigers 50-46 overtime loss to
Alabama, average home attend­ance
at Auburn this season has
fallen to ninth in the Southeastern
Conference, The Plainsman has
learned.
Only the University of Alabama
has a worse attendance average at
home for basketball games,
according to the latest figures
compiled.
Auburn, co-holder of the con­ference's
worst record at 4-6, has
drawn 45,638 fans through its first
six home dates, a home attendance
figure of 58.5 percent.
Alabama fans have shown even
less interest in the Tide by turning
out at a rate of only 51.9 percent,
despite the team's renewed
chances for winning the conference
title.
Even though the Crimson Tide is
currently tied for first place in the
SEC race with a 7-3 conference
record, attendance at Alabama
home games has been in a slump
for the past two seasons.
Published reports in The
Crimson White, the campus news­paper,
said "the bottom has drop­ped
out and attendance has been
miserable," since the athletic de­partment
began charging univer­sity
students 50 cents to attend
home games.
In previous years, the tickets
were free to Alabama students.
Although the average number of
seats filled at Auburn and Alabama
far exceed the totals of teams like
Ole Miss and Florida, average
home attendance in the SEC is
figured by the number of fans who
actually turn out vs. the seating
capacity of the school's arena.
Tennessee leads the conference
in average home attendance with a
98.9 percent capacity per game.
The Volunteers, in a four-way tie
for first place at 7-3, have drawn
125,591 fans to Stokely Athletic
Center, which has a maximum
capacity of 12,700.
Bud Ford, Tennessee assistant
sports information director, said
Monday that the higher attendance
is a direct result of the team's
improved performance this
season.
Not surprising to fans in Nash­ville,
Term., Vanderbilt is second in
the conference in average atten­dance
this season.
The Commodores, through 11
games, are averaging 15,173 per
game at Memorial Gym, capa­city
15,626. That rounds off to 98.6
percent capacity at every Vandy
home game.
The figures are the status quo
when compared to previous season
attendance according to Assistant
Sports Information Director Paul
Kennedy.
"We've reached an attendance
plateau," Kennedy said in compa­ring
this season's attendance to
previous years. "People stand in
long lines to get a ticket."
Kennedy pointed out that Van­derbilt
has yet to play three of the
SEC's top four teams at home this
season. "Basketball is a social
happening here in Nashville.
We' rethe only show in town and the
big ticket sellers are yet to come."
Vanderbilt offers it's students
the same deal that regular cus­tomers
get on tickets, four and five
dollars.
Kentucky has drawn the greatest
number of fans in the SEC this
year, 212,012, but because Rupp
Arena seats 23,000 the Wildcats are
ranked third in attendance after 10
games.
Kentucky Sports Information
Director Russell Rice said atten­dance
has been firm in Lexington
since the Cats won the National
Championship in 1977.
"We play before a full house up
here most of the 'time," Rice
commented.
Kentucky's average home atten­dance
figure is presently 92.2
percent. Louisiana State is a strong
fourth with 91.4 percent.
LSU, the SEC pre-season favo­rite
has drawn 130,973 fans through
10 games at the LSU Assembly
Center, capacity 14,327.
Georgia rounds out the top five
with an attendance figure of 74.1
percent.
The 82,000 fans that have turned
out at the Georgia Coliseum, capa­city
11,200, so far this season is
2,000 more per home game than the
bulldogs drew last year.
Georgia Sports Information Di­rector
Claude Felton noted that his
office has noticed a drastic in­crease
in attendance for confe­rence
games as opposed to the
attendance in past years.
Mississippi State attendance is
above last year's record-setting
pace, according to Bulldog Sports
Information Director Bo Carter.
With a 73.3 percent capacity
average, State is drawing an ave­rage
of 297 more fans per game at
Humphrey Coliseum, capacity
10,000 over last season's pace.
Theticket office at the University
of Mississippi said it had not been
given official attendance reports
for home games yet.
But an athletic department
spokesman at Ole Miss gave con­flicting
figures, first claiming
attendance was "stable" at 6,000
per game, then reporting the ave­rage
to be "up considerably" to
between 7,000 and 7,500.

Valavicius injured, ends Auburn career
From The Birmingham News
For Rich Valavicius, the end
came suddenly and painfully.
Officially, it: ended sometime
between 6:10 and 7:30 Sunday
• night. That's when his coach,
Sonny Smith, told him the doctors
; recommended that he give up
basketball forever, for health
reasons.
Valavicius,,'Smith said, seemed
to know that his basketball career
was over, even before the coach
told him in the privacy of his office.
Unofficially, the youngster's
career ended in the second half of
Auburn's 71-54 Saturday loss to Ole
Miss in Oxford, Miss. Attempting
to block a drive to the basket by a
Rebel player, Valavicius was
knocked to the floor. His head
bounced on the floor like a
bouncing basketball.
It was the second time this
season that Valavicius had
received a head injury. It
happened first Jan. 2 against
Kentucky.
Valavicius missed two days of
practice after the Kentucky game,
but this time it was different.
Doctors examined him thoroughly
at Oxford and he was ordered to
Lee County Hospital here Saturday
night as a precautionary measure.
Smith got the word from neuro­surgeons
Sunday afternoon. He
met with the captain of his team
after practice.
Smith said Valavicius took the
news "like any real competitor
would."
"He was really hurt, really
down, but he also reacted the way
' any real competitor would. He
knows he will have to dive into
something else and give it the same
effort he gave basketball."
Asked if he broke down when he
got the news, Smith said: "Who?
Me or him? I'd have to say we both
did..."
"It's very rare that you get to
coach people like Val," Smith said,
"people who seem to have the
same feeling ahout winning and
losing that you have. That's some-
, thing you look for in every athlete
and find in very few."
When they had finished their
talk, Smith and Valavicius called
Mr. and Mrs. Vytautas Valavicius
in Hammond, Ind. The
Valaviciuses are refugees from
Eastern Europe. Their son was
born in America.
"His mother was very scared,"
Smith said. "She wanted to know
what happened to her Richard. We
called her from Oxford and again
from my office. I am sure that Val
has been in touch with her since
then too."
Swimmers to
Auburn's swim team closes out
its dual meet season with a pair of
tough meets on the road this
coming weekend.
The Tigers meet undefeated
Florida at Gainesville this Satur­day
at l p.m. and then travel to
Miami for a Monday afternoon
meet.
"Florida has not lost a dual meet
since Auburn beat them in Gaines­ville
two years ago," says Tigers'
coach Richard Quick. "Swimming
World magazine has picked
Florida to win the national cham­pionship.
Florida does not have a
weak spot in its lineup. They are an
excellent dual and championship
meet team."
Last week Florida defeated a
strong Texas team at Austin in
ips the fastest dual meet in
ition this year.
"We are strong in the freestyle
events and about even with them in
the medley relay. Florida has the
fastest time in the nation so far in
the 400 free relay. In fact, they are
one of the few teams in history ever
to go under 3:00 minutes unshaved
inthe relay," Quick said.
-' Miami is also a strong team, with
the best diver in the world, Greg
Louganis.
"Miami will be strong in the
individual medley and the breast-stroke,
plus diving. It will be a
tough meet for us because of the
length of time we will be travel­ing,"
Quick said.
Auburn is now 4-1 on the dual
season, after beating LSU and

Control of women's athletics up for grabs
By Becky Hopf
Assistant Sports Editor
Round Two of the battle between
David and Goliath has begun. But
in this modern-day version the
weapon used is not a slingshot; it is
a bank book.
On Jan. 8 the National Collegiate
Athletic Association ignored the
threat of a lawsuit and voted to
sponsor women's championships in
Divisions H and HI. Beginning in
1981, the 282 Division II and 180
Division m NCAA members will
offer championships in women's
basketball, field hockey, swim­ming,
tennis and volleyball.
At the same time Goliath was
voting in New Orleans, the Asso­ciation
of Intercollegiate Athletics
for Women, was holding his meet­ing
in Washington, D.C. It was the
74th convention of the NCAA, while
the AIAW has only been in exis­tence
since 1971 when it was
organized to govern women's ath­letics.
The AIAW delegates ac­cused
the NCAA of trying to take
over women's athletics. The NCAA
on the other hand argued that it
would be more favorable for insti­tutions
to have one single organiza­tion
governing both men's and
women's athletics. This would ease
the confusion of collegiate sports
operating under conflicting rules
for men's and women's athletics.
But the NCAA has been openly
unsympathetic to women's athle­tics
in the past. Title DC of the
Education Amendments Act of
1972, which prohibits sex discrim­ination
in educational programs
that are federally funded, has been
consistently resisted by the NCAA
since it became a law in May of
1976.
Title DC requires colleges to
provide equal opportunities for
men and women in terms of
facilities, equipment, supplies,
practice times and cites coaching
and tutoring opportunities, housing
and travel allowances. Funds spent
and scholarship awards must be
equal.
But according to surveys by both
the NCAA and AIAW, women's
programs receive 16 cents on every
dollar. Compliance with Title DC
requires that amount be increased
to 26 cents.
And the strongest weapon behind
the dispute is financial. The NCAA
currently holds 41 national cham­pionships
for men and will hold ten
for women beginning in 1981 for the
five sports. The AIAW holds
championships in 17 sports for
women. But the NCAA pays the
expenses for the teams competing
in the championship, while the
AIAW does not.
This could mean and has been
the case that teams qualifying for
AIAW tournaments have not been
able to represent themselves at the
championships because of the cost
involved to the Individual school.
With the NCAA booting the bill,
schools, especially the smaller,
less endowed schools, may be more
eager to compete in champion­ships.
The schools would make
money rather than lose money on
the tournaments.
Since Auburn is in Division I, the
decision by the NCAA does not
affect the school. But the new law
will affect Division I In the future.
And when that time comes Auburn
will be on the side of the AIAW if
Dr. Joanna Davenport, Auburn's
assistant athletic director, who is
in charge of women's sports, has
her way.
"I used to be an officer in the
AIAW," said Davenport. "I think
we're doing a good job running it,
and we'd like to continue. The
AIAW is an organization for
women run by women. Women are
involved in the policy making. We
strive for this. I think that if the
women go into the NCAA the policy
will be governed by men.
"Women are new in big-time
athletics," added Davenport. "And
a huge percentage of women's
athletics is under men's athletic
departments. Now at someplace
like Auburn, we have people like
Coach Haley who have been
tremendously supportive to
women's athletics. But if we can't
get the NCAA to change its mind,
and the NCAA starts having the
championships, then we're going to
have a problem between the
schools who have money and those
who don't."
There are 970 active AIAW
member Institutions, and 27 nation­al
and 100 regional championships
within a three-division structure
that have been held in the AIAW's
eight years of existence. During
1980-81 the numbers will increase
to 37 national and ISO regional
championships.
Besides the issue concerning
finances, the two organizations
differ In regard to rules. For
example, if a male student trans­fers
in an NCAA Division II school
to another, he must sit out for one
year. But the student can still
Lady swimmers even
at 2-2 after LSU win
By Dave Bean
Plainsman Sportswriter
The Auburn women's swim team
won their second meet last Friday
morning at the Memorial Coliseum
pool by defeating LSU. The Tigers
record for the season is even at 2-2.
Auburn got off to a slow start in
the meet by winning only three out
of the first eight events. After the
one - meter diving competition,
which Auburn had no entrants, the
score was LSU 37, Auburn 24.
The turning point, however,
happened In the 200-yard back­stroke
event. Shawn Corrigan-
Asmuth took first in the event with
2:09.83 time, for her second win of
the meet. After that Auburn won
five out of the final seven events.
Asmuth also won the 100-yard
backstroke event with a time of
1:01.07.
Mary Holmes proved to be a big
asset by taking decisive first place
in three events. Holmes won the
100-yard breastroke with a time of
1:08.90, the 200-yard individual
medley with a time of 2:11.74 and
the 200-yard breaststroke with a
time of 2:28.38. Holmes won each
event by at least two seconds or
more over her closest competitor.
Mary Lipton helped the cause by
finishing second in three of her
events. In the 100-yard freestyle
and the 100-yard butterfly Tipton
finished within less than a second
of the winner. In the 200-yard
freestyle event Tipton set a
national qualifying time of 1:63.37.
Judy Soulen.a sophomore from
Atlanta, broke the school record in
the 200-yard butterfly with a 2:08.03
second place finish. Soulen also
came in third in the 100- yard
butterfly.
The final score of the meet was
Auburn, 66:. LSU , 67. The victory
was the second in a row for Auburn
as they remain undefeated in SEC
competition so far this season.

receive an athletic scholarship. In
the AIAW a transfer student can
play the first year, but she cannot
be eligible for a scholarship.
Another difference is in the
legislative processes. The NCAA
votes by decision while the AIAW
votes by body. The AIAW is also
the only national intercollegiate
athletic structure which includes
student representatives, with
voting privileges on their Execu­tive
Board and committee struc­ture.
And according to a position
paper sent by the University of
Georgia Student-Athletic Council
to the presidents of AIAW South­eastern
Region Institutes, "These
measures are very positive steps
toward maintaining student in­volvement,
Interest and prepara­tion
for the future. We believe that
with the proposed takeover, ath­letes
would lose all opportunities
for active Involvement.
"Since its formation in 1971, the
AIAW has continually maintained
and enforced the concepts that
athletic programs should center
around the student-athlete and that
they should retain an educational
focus. We feel very strongly that by
focusing on our education, the best
interests of the student athlete are
kept In mind. Should the NCAA and
NAIA incorporate women's athle­tic
championships, this concern
over the Interests of the student
would be lost In the expanding
governing structure.''
But the schools can belong to
both organizations. If a school
chooses, It may send some teams to
NCAA championships and other
teams to the AIAW's. But sooner or
later, the real solution will be a
merger of the two organizations.
Both organizations agree.
Davenport agrees to this solution
but with one stipulation.
"Only if women had an equal
voice In the policy making. If the
council of 16 still exists then, then it
should be made up of eight men
and eight women. I believe that
down the road somewhere there
probably will be one organization.
But I don't believe we'll get equal
representation," said Davenport
citing a preliminary report sent by
the NCAA concerning the new law
providing for women's champion­ships.
The policy report Included
the word "appropriate" rather
than the word "equal" when dis­cussing
the number of women to be
represented on the NCAA councils
and governing bodies.
"I'm very disappointed in this
decision by the NCAA to run the
championships," said Davenport.
"I feel we have a good organiza­tion.
And I'm very disappointed
that the NCAA has suddenly deci­ded
to take an interest in women's
athletics. I'm sure it has something
to do with the big TV package we
Just sold.
"The AIAW has a year to try to
mobilize," said Davenport.

Auburn's swimming team defeats LSU and Tulane
By Barry Webne
Sports Editor
Auburn University's swim team
added two victories to it's record
last weekend at the Memorial
Coliseum Pool, the first was on
Friday against Southeastern Con­ference
rival LSU, 59-53, and the
second came against Tulane, 66-42,
on Saturday.
Auburn defeated LSU with what
head Auburn swimming Coach
Richard Quick called a good
victory.
Auburn took first places in all but
three of the 12 events the team
swam in. LSU picked up a first
place in the 800-yard freestyle
relay, in which Auburn did not
participate.
The 400-yard medley relay team
of David Marsh, David Messer,
David McCagg and Rowdy Gaines
took first place in their event with a
time of 3:33.11. LSU was second,
finishing in 3:35.49.
Scott Tyler of Auburn won the
1,650-yard freestyle in a time of
16:02.70. Auburn's Steve Wood
placed second in that event with a
time of 16:29.48.
Auburn swimmer Rick Morley
had two victories of the afternoon,
one in the 200-yard freestyle and
the other in the 100-yard freestyle.
Morley had times of 1:43.15 and
47.04, respectively.
Rowdy Gaines of Auburn was
also the winner of two events
against LSU. Gaines won the 50-
yard freestyle event in a time of
21.14. Gaines was the NCAA
Champion in that event in 1979. He
also was first in the 500-yard
freestyle, this time in 4:32.42.
David McCagg was the other
Auburn winner; McCagg placed
first in the 100-yard backstroke
with a time of 53.58.
In diving action against LSU,
Auburn's Drew Burgering placed
first on both the one- and three-meter
boards.
In Saturday's meet against
Tulane, the Tigers also proved to
dominate the field. Auburn again
did not swim in the 400-freestyle
relay, and this time out of 12 events
the team swam in, Auburn swim­mers
won eight.
Auburn's 400-yard medley relay
team again picked up its victory,
this time at 3:33.60.
Gaines began the individual com­petition
with a victory in the
1,000-yard freestyle, Steve Wood
then chalked up another Auburn
victory with his performance in the
200-yard freestyle.

The Auburn Lady Tiger basket­ball
team under Joe Ciampi clinch­ed

State in Montgomery.
Auburn had to battle from behind
late in the first half and scored six
unanswered points to lead going to
the locker room 36-32. Throughout
the second half, with both Lori
Monroe and Lori Hackman in foul
trouble, the Lady Tigers pushed to
an 11 point lead with 10 minutes to
go in the game.
From that point on it was the
Angie Hannah and Renae
Halbrooks show as the two com­bined
to lead Auburn with clutch
baskets the remainder of the way.
Alabama State came to within four
points at 78-74 with 1:15 left, but

a 2:32.6 clocking in the 800.
Halbrooks made both ends of two
one-and-one situations to secure
the win.
The Decatur native led Auburn
in scoring on the night with 17
points and set a school record for
consecutive free throws made at
nine. The Auburn team also set a
school record from the line as they
hit 18 of 19 foul shots in the big win.
Three other players were in
double figures with Angie Hannah
adding 16, and both Kristi
McDonald and Lori Hackman chip­ping
in with 14 points each. Lori
Monroe despite having a poor,
shooting night from the field, re­sponded
on the boards with 16
rebounds—a feat she accomplished
for the fourth time this season.
The Lady Tigers shot 48 percent
from the field and 95 percent from
the line, while ASU totaled 44
percent and 60 percent on the night.

and 6-1 in Division I AAIAW
competition. Alabama State now
drops to 5-13 on the season.
Burgering on the one- and three-meter
boards.
According to Quick, "Burgering
is continuing to do good, and so is
the whole team. I asked everyone
to swim hard, and I was pleased
with everyone's effort."
Quick also said, "The best per­formances
over the weekend were
those by Scott Tyler and Steve
Wood in the 1,650-yard freestyle
against LSU and David McCagg's
performance in the 100-yard back­stroke,
also against LSU."
Quick also said John Fields had
good performances in the 100- and
200-yard freestyle events.
Auburn travels to Gainesville,
Fla. this Saturday to take on
number one nationally ranked
Florida in a dual meet.
I "Florida deserves to be ranked
number one," said Quick. "They
just beat Texas and they swam
four or five of the top ranked times
in the nation."
The Auburn coach said the
Florida team was strong and well-balanced.
He said this meet would
be a tremendous challenge for the
Auburn squad.
"We're looking to swim the best
we've swam all year, and we're
'not going there to lose the meet,"
Quick added.
