Looking over the technical director's shoulder in
the CBS control truck provided an interesting view
as the CBS Sports Spectacular came to Auburn last
weekend. Here, sportscaster Jayne Kennedy inter­views
Lyle Alzado of the Cleveland Browns, one of
eight players competing for the title of the Strongest
Man in Football. Kennedy received more applause
from the Auburn crowd than any of the athletes. The
contest, will be aired May tenth and eleventh.

In a two-minute meeting of the
Auburn board of trustees, the vote
that originally chose Hanly
Funderburk as successor to re­tiring
President Harry Philpott
on. April 7 was taken again
Monday and reaffirmed by a 10 to
1 vote.
The vote was taken again
because of legal questions raised
by a trustee, Sen. Bob Harris, at
the first meeting. Harris had
questioned whether Gov. James
could call a board meeting legally
without the required 10-day
written notice of a future meet­ing.
. .
During the April 7 meeting, the
governor circulated a written
notice of the second meeting
which gave the proper 10 days
written notice if it became legally
necessary.
Gov. James had contacted
Auburn University legal counse­lor
Judge Thomas Samford, to be
present at the latter meeting in
case of other legal questions.
None were raised.
The affirmation of Funderburk
came in the form of a resolution
presented to the board by trustee
Henry Steagall. Steagall is the
same trustee that nominated
Funderburk at the first meeting.
The resolution stated that after
"a nationwide search...and care­ful
consideration of a large
number of highly ^qualified appli­cants
it has been determined that
Dr. H. Hanly Funderburk, Jr.,
possesses the qualities and
credentials best suited to the
needs of Auburn University at
this time."
The resolution stated that
Funderburk was to assume the
duties of Auburn University
president today.
The resolution also asked
"faculty, students, alumni and
friends of Auburn to join them
(the board) in the encouragement
and support of Dr. Funderburk.''
James called the meeting
"necessary" saying "you don't
want to hire a president when you
have the legalities questioned."
James called the meeting to
order, took the vote on
Funderburk, made a brief an­nouncement
and then immediate­ly
dismissed the meeting.
James also said he would
expect Funderburk to have
prospective board meeting dates
planned for sometime in the near
future.
Harris, the lone dissenter at
both board votes, said he thought
his vote did mean something to
the whole process. "I can't help
but think that it (his dissenting
vote) was all worthwhile," he
said.
"There are a great number of
people who love Auburn that are
dissappointed," Harris said, "but
Auburn people have the strength
of character to make things work
out."
State Superintendent Wayne
Teague was absent from
Monday's meeting. Teague also
missed the first meeting on April
7 which originally gave the job to
Funderburk.
Legislators approve
voting date change
By Rick Harmon
Editor
A voting date change for
Auburn city elections should
allow students increased partici­pation
in the election process.
Although student groups had
lobbied for such a change since
fall, it did not come as a result of
this lobbying, but through state
legislation moving up all munici­pal
elections so they would not
conflict with state primary elec­tions.
' Regardless of the purpose of the
change, the new voting date
should allow students increased
opportunities to vote in local
elections.
In the past, city elections have
been held during the second week
in August, a time when the
University was not in session and
many faculty members and stu­dents
were away on break.
The new voting date will be July
8, which falls during the middle of
Summer quarter when an esti­mated
8,000 students are expected
to be registered for classes.
Trey Ireland, the newly elected
president of the SGA, said he was
pleased with the voting date
change, "but hardly content.
"It's a step in the right direc­tion,"
he said, "but it isn't what
we've been woykiitg tor v,
"I'm pteased with the voting
change because now almost half
of the student population will be
able to vote in city elections
without having to vote absentee.
"But I believe the date should
still be changed to fall, winter or

Deans discuss new education budget
By Lonnie Adamson
Plainsman Staffwriter
Budget requests from Auburn
are being considered by the
Senate this week and may be
altered if an education appropia-tions
bill proposed by Gov. Fob
James is accepted.
The bill that would put $20
million of the 1980-81 higher edu­cation
appropriation on condi­tional
status was brought to the
Senate floor last night after being
discussed in the House Ways and
Means Committee.
The legislature is operating
under a rule which requires at
least a $20 million surplus in the
education budget. Rouse said
under James' budget bill, $20
million of the higher education
appropriation would be put on a
conditional status so the House
could pass the education bill
which presently doesn't meet the
$20 million surplus requirement
Conditional status means the
$20 million appropriation is not
earmarked for any certain area
in education. According to the
bill, if the money comes in it will
be appropriated accordingly. A
committee of about nine people
will meet to decide how to divide
the money.
Interviews with deans of three
schools concerning the requests
each made, three deans stressed
one part of that request as very
important, salary.
salary.
Dr. Edward H. Hobbs, dean of
the School of Arts and Sciences,
said the two most important
considerations in the arts and
sciences budget were salary and
operation and maintenance. "The
primary need is salary."
Arts and Sciences made a
request for a 16 percent across

Nude tanning hits Auburn community
By Tammy Kincaid
Copy Editor
Nude tanning has finally become popular
in Auburn. "Surely not," you say, but it's
true. While many sun worshippers spend
long afternoons sweating off the cocoa butter
on top of the dorms, others are taking the
short route to the weekend in Tahiti look. For
them an all over tan is just a flash away with
the help of a local tanning clinic.
After a year and a half since their
introduction to the public, tanning salons
have finally reached the Auburn-Opelika
area with the opening of Wonder Tan above
Campus Drugs and another tanning facility
at the Raquet Club on Dean Road.
Each salon has been open about two or
three weeks and customer response has been
overwhelming, according to employees at
both salons.
Spokesmen from both salons stressed that
tanning salons are still in their experimental
stage and neither denied that although some
dermatologists send their patients to tanning
salons to help correct skin problems, many
doctors remain opposed to the salons. These
doctors say the artificial rays are potentially
just as dangerous and debilitating as the
sun's.
Dr. Robert R. Schulze, a Des Moines
dermatologist, said in the Feb. 19,1980 "U.S.
News and World Report," "I cannot, in good
conscience, recommend a year-round tan.
Most skin cancer occurs in people who work
outdoors or who are in the sun a lot. Those
kinds of people pay the price down the road.''
But judging by the comments of people
who have been frequently visiting the salons.
some Auburn-Opelika residents don't mind
paying the parice for a sun tan.
Daryl Heggie, an employee of Village
Photographers, said he finds the tanning
"worthwhile. I don't get out in the sun much
because I work, but I've been seven times
and can tell I have a base tan. I am going to
continue going."
Jennifer Martin, an Auburn housewife,
said she is "really getting some sun. I have
no time to lie out in the sun and when I do, I
do not look forward to getting out there
greased with oil and sweating it out."
Several Auburn students said they had
only been a few times but that they had
noticed some difference. Those who had
been said they felt they had not "been
enough visits to really tell."
Employees from both salons said they
could not promise that customers would get
a mahogany tan, but that it all depended on a
person's skin type or the amount of dark
pigments in their skin.
Rachel Harrelson, an employee of the
Racquet Club, said she tells her customers to
be patient because they are building a base
tan which takes three or four visits to notice
any color change.
She also noted the color change usually
isn't noticeable for eight or 10 hours. For this
reason, customers are advised not to do too
much additional sunning after a session. One
minute in the booth is equal to approxi­mately
one hour in the sun and extra sunning
could promote burning.
Both salons offer plans ranging from only
a one trip visit to an annual membership
where members can drop in as often as
necessary. The most popular plan is 20 visits
at prices ranging from $30 to $35.
At both tanning facilities, customers are
required to have a consultation to determine
the amount of time a customer should spend
in the booth. This time is based on skin tone,
previous sun exposure and the customer's
skin condition. At this time the customers
are asked to sign a disclaimer stating that
they understand the procedures and risks
involved.
"The disclaimer is worth absolutely
nothing in court," said Mike Duncan, owner
of Wonder Tan. "If something happens to
someone in those booths, they can sue me
with no problem." The disclaimer just
makes people more aware of the risks, he
said.
One of the risks that potential customers
fear is being burned in the booth. However,
one of the main advantages with a tanning
booth is that there is a main timer that is
regulated only by the employees. "A
customer can't just decide to stay in a few
more minutes," said Duncan.
After the preliminary procedures, the
customer is free to step into the booth and
tan away. The booths are different from
place to place. At Wonder Tan there are two
plain-looking booths that resemble shower
stalls. The equipment used in these booths is
nothing fancy and wasn't originally designed
for tanning.
According to Duncan, "The tanning lamps
have been around for about 10 years.
Dermatologists used the lamps to improve
their patient's skin conditions and finally
someone got the idea to use the lamps to help
people tan.

ALLIES TAKE ACTIONS AGAINST IRAN
America's European allies yesterday ordered an immediate
reduction in their diplomatic staffs in Iran and said they would impose
economic sanctions unless "decisive progress" is made by mid-May
toward freeing the American hostages in Tehran. They also ordered an
arms embargo against Iran immediately. They said they would send
their ambassadors back to Tehran to urge the Iranian government to
free the 53 hostages held since Nov. 4. Family members of four
American hostages in Iran left for Europe last night on a mission to
educate the European people on the continuing human tragedy at the
l£S. Embassy in Tehran. Iran threatened to stop oil exports to
countries that join the U.S. sanctions and took steps to move closer to
tfie Soviet bloc. Foreign ministers of the European Common Market
said it would agree to not buy Iranian oil selling above the current
OPEC price. Iran now supplies about 5.5 percent of Common Market.
PASSENGER FERRY COLLIDES WITH OIL TANKER
„A passenger-general cargo ferry with 890 people aboard sank at
Maestre de Campo Island, 130 miles southeast of Manila in the Tablas
Strait, after a collision with an oil tanker, according to the Philippines
News Agency. It said only 80 survivors had been accounted for. The
tanker struck the 300 foot,l,372 ton Don Juan in the port side between
two hatches. The Don Juan was bound from Manila to Bacolod City, 300
miles to the southeast. It was carrying 19 officers, 69 crew and 802
passengers. The 80 survivors were picked up by the Don Juan's sister
ship, Don Julio.

Assistant News Editor
According to an Associated
Press report published two weeks
ago, state law enforcement offi­cials
describe as "stealing from
the blind" the refusal of
Alabama's state universities to
comply with a 1955 state law
giving the blind priority to esta­blish
vending operations on public
property.
Auburn Business Manager
Rhett Riley says the University is
working to comply with that law,
but Cameo Vending Corp. of
Auburn, a private contractor,
currently operates vending con­cessions
on campus.
"We are working to do what­ever
is required to comply with
the lawand also to meet the
concession needs on campus,"
Riley told The Plainsman
Wednesday. "We have had meet­ings,
the last one in early April,
with the Division of Rehabilita­tion
and Crippled Children Ser­vice
of the State Department of
Education to discuss the action
necessary for Auburn to comply
with the law."
Riley said the University had
"an understanding that the
Crippled Children Service would
present us with a proposal stating
their ability to establish operation
of the vending concession and the
degree of involvement they could
reach.
"A tremendous amount of capi­tal
outlay is needed to meet
equipment needs for the vending
operation on this campus," Riley
said. "We have to make sure the
Crippled Children Service has
this capability."
Auburn University's vending
operations contract with Cameo
Corp. expires on Sept. 30 of the
current fiscal year. Danny
McDaniel, supervisor of the Busi­ness
Enterprises Program for the
Blind and a spokesman for CCS
said the proposal would be pre­sented
to the University before
the expiration of the Cameo con­tract.
"At this point, I am confident
we can provide the services
necessary to be competitive in the
area of vending operations,"
McDaniel said.
The AP report said spokesmen
for the state universities general­ly
acknowledge the vending
operations law applies to their
schools, but contend it is murky
and unclear. In a memorandum
issued by Gov. Fob James last
October, the governor called the
law "quite clear."
Riley said he does not agree
with James' assessment of the
vending operations law. "Jt is
vague in some areas, and this has
been indicated by court decisions
in the past," Riley said.
In an opinion issued Jan. 8,1976,
Attorney General Bill Baxley said
the law gave the right and the
responsibility to assure con­cession
and vending license
preference for the blind on school
property.
The AP report quoted Educa­tion
Department and law enforce­ment
officials as saying a prob­lem
with the vending concessions
law is that it contains no specific
"police power" to insure com­pliance.
When University vending
operations are put out for bid, the
University is paid a commission
by the private contractor. Riley
said Auburn's commission is
"probably slightly less than
$100,000 annually."
Riley said the commission
funds are placed in a concession
account. He said the bulk of the
funds are used for student pro­jects,
with the remainder funnell­ed
into other University pro­grams.
Recommendations for the
use of the monies comes from a
concessions board composed of
faculty and administrative staff.
The decision on which contrac­tor
gets the vending contract is
"primarily an administrative
one," and "Cameo has had the
contract for a good many years,"
the business manager said.
Riley said the accounting of the
vending contract revenue "is
generally only open to audit by
the state examiner's office," but
"there have been no impro­prieties"
in past audits.
The AP report said state inves­tigators
contend some state uni­versities
maintain slush funds
with the monies from vending
contract commissions. The report
said such funds are used to
maintain memberships at the
expensive Capital City Club in
Montgomery, either in the name
of the school, its lobbyist or a
foundation, in order to "wine and
dine" state legislators.
"I can assure you without a
doubt there is no slush fund at
Auburn," Riley said, "Not: dne
dime goes into anything other
than is recommended by the
concessions board."

KENNEDY AND BUSH CLINCH PENNSYLVANIA PRIMARY
In Tuesday's Pennsylvania primary the two underdog presidential
challengers, Edward Kennedy and George Bush, pulled ahead to win
the primary and stay alive in their slumping campaigns. Out of 185
Democratic delegates at stake, Kennedy won 94 and Carter won 91.
Bush received 57 percent of the vote and Reagan received 41 percent.
THE HOUSE APPROVES DRAFT REGISTRATION PLAN
-The House of Representatives yesterday approved President
Carter's plan to register millions of young men for the draft this:
summer. The House passed a measure to supply $13.3 million t&
revitalize the dormant Selective Service System and clear the way for
registration of some 4 million males age 19 and 20. All seven members
qMhe Alabama delegation voted in favor of the proposal. Although the
House approved the registration plan, it would take further
congressional action to institute an actual draft. The registration now
goes to the Senate where Sen. Mark Hatfield, a republican from
Oregon, has vowed to try to filibuster it to death.

SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS AT-LARGE ELECTIONS FOR
MOBILE
The United States Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision on Tuesday,
upheld the at-large voting method used in Mobile to elect the city's
commissioners. The Court ruled that at-large elections do not violate
the constitutional rights of any minority group and therefore couldn't
be challenged as a discriminating practice. The Mobile Commission
was delighted with the high court's decision, however, several civil
right leaders have called the 6-3 vote a "giant step backwards."

Million volume library below par
In January 1963, after the
338,339 volumes which had been
housed in the old library at
Auburn University had been
carried by students to the impos­ing
new Ralph Brown Draughon
Library, one student who had
participated in the move marvel­led,
"This is like a dream world."
A dream world it was. The new
library had spacious reading
areas and open stacks with room
to spare. From the time construc­tion
began on the four-story com­plex
giving Auburn new status in
the area of library services, it
was labeled "the million-volume
library," an accolade to the state,
alumni and friends who had made
a dream possible.
The millionth volume came in
1979 when President and Mrs.
Harry M. Philpott presented The
Great Bible of 1566 (Carmaden's
Great Bible) to the library for
the special collection.
This and other accomplish­ments
in the development of
library services have brought
Auburn far along in its drive
toward excellence. But compared
regionally and nationally,
Auburn's library remains far

VOLUMN INCREASE
.Draughn Library running short on space
from the top in all categories, said
Dr. William Highfill, director.
"During the past few years,
Auburn has improved its position
among its peers in the South­east,"
Highfill said, citing 1979
statistics from the Association of
Southeastern Research Libraries
which includes 26 members.
Except for a critical space
problem, Auburn ranks rather
favorably among its peer institu­tions
in the Southeast in catego­ries
measuring library efficiency
and quality. Statistics for 1978
indicate Auburn is number* n in
enrollment, has nine periodical
titles per student, 15 in expendi­tures
for books, periodicals and
bindings, 17 in total volumes held,
18 in support staff and 19 in total
library expenditures.
As students and faculty depend
on periodcals for keeping abreast
of the latest developments in
professional fields, Auburn's ex­cellent
standing in periodicals
strengthens research at the Uni­versity.
As to Auburn's relatively
lower standing in regard to ex­penditures,
volumes and support
staff, Dr. Highfill said, "We get a
lot more from our dollar than
some of our peer institutions get.''
The most presitgious academic
library organization in the nation
is the Association of Research
Libraries. Auburn is not among
its 105 members, although several
in the Southeast are, including
Florida, Tennessee, Louisiana
State, Georgia, VPI, Florida
State, North Carolina, Kentucky,
Alabama, South Carolina, Virgi-
Budget
From page A-1
the board salary increase for
1980-81. "In dollar figures," he
said, that's $1.3 million.
Hobbs said Arts and Sciences
requested $280,000 for mainte­nance
and operation and another
$285,000 for books for the library.
He also said the school had the
need and could justi­fy
30 new positions. Everyone at
the University uses Arts and
Sciences, he said.
Poor salary increases during
the last several years led to some
discontent among faculty
^members. "Its not a hemorrhage
:yet," Hobbs said, "But it's a
/problem which could get a lot
•worse." If there isn't a salary
increase this spring," it's going to
be tough to hold them next year."
E Dr. Boyd Scebra, assistant
tdean of the School of Education,
;said the overall request for the
School of Education was
$7,665,322. Salaries and wages are
the largest chunk of that request
tat $5,069,062, a 27.28 percent
"increase over last year. The
•operation and maintenance
-budget request was $1.4 million, a
•32.82 percent increase over last
Jyear. Scebra listed the increase
ffor capital outlay as 297.82
^percent.
E Dr. Jack E. Blackburn, dean of
"the School of Education, said the
proposals were made by
compiling figures of suggestions
by the school's department and
unit heads as advised by Univer­sity
administration.
1 As a " rule of thumb to deter­mine
what would be equitable" to
request for salary increases,
Blackburn said they called 11
southeast universities compara­ble
to Auburn and asked the
salary of faculty in the School of
Education.
; Operation and maintenance
was figured on a general percen­tage
increase of what was needed
to operate at the present level and
then added a little more to
improve the program, Blackburn
said.
Some faculty members are
leaving the School of Education,
he said. "We have two resigna­tions
and six pending because of
the salary situation," and pros­pects
for funding in the future.
"There are probably going to
have to be some hard decisions
rhade if we want to have quality
higher education," he said. This
may require closing down some
schools or "phasing out pro­grams
that aren't producing."
Dean of the School of Agricul­ture,
Dr. Dennis Rouse, said after
surveying the various depart­ments,
a figure of approximately
a nine percent increase in salary
was requested. That was approxi­mately
the amount needed to
keep up with inflation at the time
the request was made, Rouse
said. Since then the inflation rate
has increased.
Also, after a survey of the
departments the school came up
with a request of approximately a
25 to 30 percent increase in the
operation and maintenance
budget, said Charles F. Simmon,
associate dean in the School of
Agriculture.
Simons read a partial list of
request by various departments.
The majority were in the 20's with
one as high as a 151 percent
increase.
Simmons said some of the
increases arose from a lack of
funding in the past which caused
deterioration of the programs.
Some of the programs have
"slightly obsolete equipment"
and the increases are needed to
buy some new equipment.
Both Rouse and Simmons
stressed that large increases in
operations in maintenance were
necessary because of the
increased cost of biological speci-ments,
which is rising faster than
the general inflation rate.
Another reason for increases is
that the natural specimens
studied in the wilds aren't as
accessible as they once were.
About 30 to 40 years ago,
Simmons said, live specimens
could be found within walking
distance of the class. Now
because of expanding urbaniza­tion,
classes have to travel a
number of miles to observe these,
specimens.
The overall school budget
request amounts to $4.3 million,
an increase over last year of
approximately 33 percent, Rouse
said.
nia, Tulane, Duke, Vanderbilt and
Emory.
"Before an invitation for mem­bership
is extended to an institu­tion,
it must have met all current
minimum membership criteria
ifor the preceding three years,"
Highfill said.
Auburn needs strengthening in
cnly two criteria, number of total
staff, and expenditures for salar­ies
and wages-to meet the mini­mum
criteria for membership, he
said.
"If we had more staff, we would
automatically have the qualifying
expenditures for salaries and
wages, but we don't have space
for more people," Highfill said..
Space, or the lack of it, is
regarded as one of the most
pressing problems affecting
Auburn's library program.
"This building was originally
planned to provide seating space
for 2,000 users and shelving space
for a collection of a million
volumes, but that plan included a
fifth floor," Highfill said. "The
projected fifth floor was not built
because of financial limitations,
but we have more than a million
volumes anyway."
To handle the growing activity,
holdings, staff and enrollment, it
has been necessary for the past
several years to reduce the
amount of space available for
readers to provide more space for
the expanding collection, Highfill
said. Consequently, Draughon
Library now provides seating
space for fewer than 1,200
readers, although the student
population has doubled since 1963.
A reading room in Haley Center
which was developed two years
ago has provided a measure of
temporary relief to the space
problem for users. The Draughon
Library also maintains branches
in veterinary medicine and archi­tecture.
A plan is under way to convert
the Draughon Library basement
into a temporary storage area for
infrequently used books and per­iodicals
which Highfill estimates
will house the growth of the
library collections for about four
years.

— y Philpott's work at AU
",..let me, with alacrity, accept the
^presidency of Auburn University with all of
the responsibilities, obligations and op­portunities
associated with this high
Office."
with those words of his inaugural
a4dress, Harry Melvin Philpott became the
Uth men to accept the challenge of being
president of Auburn University.
He had been elected president earlier on
May 10, 1965. The Auburn board of
trustees had literally spent three days holed
up in the office of Gov. George C. Wallace
before it finally settled on Philpott's name.
As with this year's search, controversy
surrounded the process. The trustees at one
point were even reported to have scrapped
the search and begun anew.
. .• Bhilpott, however, overcame the contro­versy
arid on Sept. 1 1965, ' he began
work. He pledged himself to the physical
growth of the University, and the campus
bears obvious monuments to this desire to
build.
It would be difficult for those of us at
Auburn now to imagine a campus with no
rfaley Center, no Memorial Coliseum, no
Fine Arts complex, no Pharmacy building
or new intramual fields, but none of them
existed when Philpott became president. A
•school of Nursing has become a reality also.
* Auburn's main campus has also ex­perienced
remarkable enrollment and fac­ulty
growth. Auburn now has approximate-
J,yl8,300 students almost 6,000 more than
when Philpott began. The number of
faculty has also increased from 680 to 1,039,
and the percentage of that faculty with
doctorate degrees has increased more than
20 percent.
Even with its recent budget troubles,
Philpott can be credited with at least trying
.to.keep Auburn's budget ahead of increas­ing
enrollment and inflation.
Only $35 million when he came to
-Auburn, the operating budget has increas­ed
threefold to more than $140 million.
The permanent endowment fund has
jumped from $7 million to $23 million.
'•„H°nors have also rained down upon
Philpott during his term. He has been
presented honorary degrees from five
universities, and his has been named both
"Educator of the Year" by Kappa Phi
Kappa and "Citizen of the Year" by the
Alabama Broadcasters Association.
He has also given Auburn recognition
through his service on various national
committees. He was president of the
prestigious National Association of State
Universities and Land Grant Colleges and
chairman of the Southern Regional Educa­tion's
Board Commission on Regional
Cooperation. He also helped form the
Alabama Commission on Higher Educa­tion.
Some may think any man could have
helped Auburn progress while the Legisla­ture
was generally sympathetic to budget
requests.
Such people search for headlines concern­ing
dyamic activities by the president's
office don't find many.
Criticism has also come from those who
said Philpott was too slow to change,
especially concerning student rights.
Philpott, however, has not sought the
publicity or made the sweeping changes
that would invite headlines. Change has
come, however—gradually, incremental­ly—
but it has come.
Philpott's conservative inclinations and
willingness to listen eased Auburn's atmos-sphere
during more turbulent times of the
Vietnam war.
His hard work, concern and talents also
certainly furthered and shaped Auburn's
progress the last 15 years. Dr. Harry Melvin
Philpott helped make Auburn University
what it is today.
Student aid
Two letters to the editor this week
illustrate something we've known all along:
Auburn students can show a lot of class.
One mentioned how a group of mechani­cal
engineering students aided some Ala­bama
students in Atlanta. The other listed
many fraternities, sororities and other
organizations here that helped with the Lee
County Special Olympics for exceptional
children.
Those were isolated incidents, but reaf­firm
that the '30's aren't just a "me"
decade for manys students at Auburn
University. Weve glad.
Funderburk resolution
Dr. Hanly Funderburk officially became
Auburn University's new president today,
after a diplomatic resolution meaning
several things was passed by the trustees
Monday.
• After "a nationwide search...and careful
consideration of a large number of highly
qualified applicants," said the resolution,
"it has been determined that Dr. H. Hanly
Funderburk Jr., possesses the qualities and
credentials best suited to the needs of
Auburn University at this time."
, On one level, the resolution states the
obvious: candidates Dr. James Martin, Dr.
-Rex Rainer and Dr. Steven Sample have all
withdrawn their names from consideration.
Funderburk was "best suited" because he
was the only main candidate left.
On another level, though, the resolution
'alludes to Funderburk's strengths: of all the
candidates, he had the most experience and
success at money management, and he does
know Auburn University well.
The resolution also states flatly that the
recent presidential search was "nation­wide."
The search did reach across
America, even if it didn't reach nationwide
in the minds of some trustees.
Those feeling the search wasn't nation­wide
because an Alabama native was
selected, however, are just as biased as those
who felt an Alabama native had to be
selected.
The resolution states simple fact on one
level and expresses a hope on another: a
hope that Funderburk will be an excellent
president of Auburn University. His abili­ties
make that a possibility.

Philpott
The criticisms Dr. Harry M. Philpott
received as Auburn's president from 1965 to
yesterday tell as much about him as any
glowing, general overview of his tenure.
Auburn grew by thousands of students and
millions of dollars in 15 years, but Gov.
George Wallace, the Legislature, and the
baby boom had much to say about that.
Philpott's mark on Auburn is not its
growth as much as the direction of that
growth, and his critics have outlined that
direction clearly.
The liberal arts have prospered at Auburn
under Philpott, partly because it was "cool"
to be a social science major in the late '60s,
and partly because Philpott built the pro­grams
up, with Haley Center and new
faculty.
The growth of arts and sciences led to
charges that Philpott left engineering and
perhaps agriculture to wither away, and
certainly, those areas have not been overly
emphasized.
Pharmacy and music weren't emphasized
either, yet new pharmacy and music build­ings
are standing today. Rich alumni had a
part, but so did planning at the dean and
department head levels, and so did alumni
organization and support.
Philpott wasn't too excited about a new
nursing school either, yet Auburn (and AUM)
has one now. Policy often worked up to the
president's office under Philpott: the depart­ments
and schools that planned and petition­ed
grew, the staid and complacent ones
missed out.
Many people hold grudges against Philpott
because of who did and who didn't advance
or hold positions in his administration.
Philpott may have made mistakes in
naming personnel, but he had his share of
Dave
White
\
\l mmm
successes such as student affairs' Dean Drew
Ragan, treasurer Rhett Riley and physical
plant's Paul Kearney.
Philpott's "interference" in the athletic
department caused much turmoil among
alumni especially.
Some said he only wanted to treat the
athletic department equally with the other
departments at Auburn. Others said the
athletic department must be favored to
prosper.
Philpott probably had the right idea, if not
the right execution. Auburn is still known
only for its football by the students,, and
probably alumni, at Princeton, Yale and
other notable schools.
As a "Baptist minister," Philpott was not a
leading liberal on campus-at least at first
glance-and that generated criticism too.
He once favored continuing mandatory
ROTC and signing-in at dorms, yet those
things are history. He has disapproved of
coed dorms, and some family planning at the
health center, yet new coed dorms open this
fall and the health center has expanded birth
control counseling and referral services.
Philpott did cancel a planned Allman
Brothers-Grateful Dead concert at the stadi-m
m 1 I §
v^t/
um years ago-he didn't want "hippies"
camping out all over-yet the Rolling Stones
played here about the same time.
Philpott did cancel an anti-war speaker's
appearance here, once, but a court corrected
him-maybe one mistake over free speech in
15 years isn't bad. Student publicatons at
Auburn, unlike some in Alabama and the
Southeast, have enjoyed complete freedom
from interference from Philpott's office.
Philpott has sometimes bent over back-
, wards to accommodate Plainsman inquiries
over the years. Answers were often elusive
and difficult to ferret out, but he did respond
to questions-sometimes on Wednesday after­noon
with little notice-when he didn't really
have to at all.
His openness served Auburn well. His
informal talks with students on the concourse
or Samford Hall park helped diffuse what
student unrest there was at Auburn during
the Vietnam War years. His talks with hourly ,
workers in 1978 helped end a week-long
strike.
Philpott's national reputation and back­ground
also served Auburn well. He was
chairman of the national association of land
grant colleges, and received many other
honors, and public relations counts as a
president-lobbyist-fund raiser.
Philpott said he committed himself to
offering a good education to any capable
Alabamian who wanted the education.
His work and effort in a sometime1
thankless position indicate that Dr. Harry
Philpott cared and cares about Auburn
University.
Auburn's present tuition and academic'
scope indicate that he enjoyed many
successes that may not have come without
him.

'Boy genius plan' fails to get girl
During my college career I had the honor
of being the M.C. (in this case the massacrer-er
of ceremonies) for the Miss Glomerata
Pageant.
I believe the contest's organizer chose me
for this honor in the hope that if I were
brought together with 20 incredibly beautiful
girls, I might by some miracle get a date with
one and finally quit complaining about my
love life in the newspaper.
If you have read my columns at all this
quarter you'll realize it didn't work.
Anyway, like everything else concerned
with Auburn, the Miss Glom pageant
involved paperwork. Each of the contest's 2(
finalists had to fill out forms asking
everything from their hobbies to their most
embarrassing moment.
Although sexistly-speaking the finalist's
forms were filled out quite well, the written
forms they handed in left much to desire.
(The candidates physical forms also caused a
great deal of desiring, but in a different
sense.)
The written forms the girls turned in had
to be falsified, or filled with significant
ommissions. At least I would hope that the
most embarrassing moment of most of the 20
candidates had not really been wearing
clothes that clashed.
Maybe I'm wrong and most people just
don't have embarrassing moments. As for
me, I have had one. It was called my
freshmen year.
If one wants to break down that one long
embarrassment into divisions, the categories
would probably be embarrassing dates,
embarrassing school situations and more
embarrassing dates.
Probably one of the worst fell between
dating and school.
It took place during a freshmen history
class in 2370 Haley Center. If you don't
remember Room 2370, it's the classroom with
the plaque saying everything would collapse
if more that about 430 people entered the
room. It was also the room in which our 500
member history class met.
Sometimes students listened to history
professors lecture there. Most of the time we
just kept looking around the room, counting
the overweight people and waiting for
something to crumble.
This particular quarter I had something to
take my mind off both the overloaded
classroom and the history lectures. Her name
was Andrea, and she was an incredibly
beautiful girl that sat in the chair next to me.
I decided immediately I wanted to go out
with her. There are several ways this might
have been attempted. Probably the best
Rick
Harmon
would have either been asking her to lunch
after class, or just calling her up at home and
asking her out.
But these solutions were far too simple for
my freshman mind to conceive. Instead, I
debated between a kidnapping and a strate-gem
I called the "Boy Genius" plan.
Regrettably, I chose the latter.
The plan consisted of first convincing the
girl I was a genius, which if you've read my
columns, you realize the difficulty of.
The second phase was convincing her that
all she needed was a little help studying for
the tests, to also become a genius. The
plan was working beautifully. The professor
took about 97 percent of his lecture from the
book, so each day I would go to class and
either pull out my "Bullwinkle and Rocky"
coloring book and color or go into a deep
sleep. Then I would go home and study like
mad to do well on the tests.
It was the deep sleep that did me in, or
rather coming out of the deep sleep. When
some people come out of a deep sleep theyl
will jerk their heads and let out a loud piteous|
groan.
I am one of these people. I found this outl
when after suddenly waking up during myl
freshmen history class, I discovered about]
499 students and one professor staring at me I
as if I were a Phi Mu without make-up or|
something equally weird.
Included in the 499 students staring at me I
Avas one incredibly beautiful girl named |
Andrea.
Strangely enough though the plan worked.!
Andrea decided she needed somebody tol
study with. Regrettably the guy she chosel
happened to be a "cute hunk" from I
Huntsville who had been unimaginative!
enough to just come up to her and ask her|
out.
Sometimes life is unfair.
Anyway, I met Andrea again later, and|
became good friends with her. She later I
confessed my "Boy Genius" plan had left a|
deep impression on her.
"Sure I remember you from our history!
class," she said. "You were that real weird I
kid who never studied and did well on the|
tests. Gee, I hated your guts."
The feeding of waking up and fnding about I
500 people, including the girl you've beenl
trying to impress, staring at you in shock is I
embarrassing. But it's bound to be useful in I
the future, if I am ever nominated for Miss|
Glomerata.

Opinion
Thursday, April 25, 1980 A-5
South deserves respect for changes
Build school, then buildings'
Editor, The Plainsman:
Like many of the students here, I was
spoon-fed Auburn University almost from
.the time I was born. Unlike many of those
same students, I became more disillusioned
with time.
I've always loved Auburn and what it
stands for and I always will, but somewhere
along the way those of us who are part of
Auburn have lost our sense of priorities.
Problems exist from the bottom to the top:
Trustees who stage a national circus in the
selection of a new president and play politics
better than Carter and Reagan combined;
An administration which is more im­pressed
with paperwork and new buildings
than by faculty members who must cut their
. personal budgets month after month due to a
double digit inflation rate, which is hardly
handled by a 2V2 percent conditional pay
raise;
Alumni who consider an 80,000 seat
capacity football stadium and new desks that
are "colorful" more important than adequate
computer facilities or a well-equipped li­brary;
Graduate students, who- could be an
effective influence, who don't want to "rock
• the boat;"
Undergraduate students who don't know
or don't care what is going on for the most
part.
While most of my complaints are based on
my experience in the School of Business as
both an undergraduate and graduate
student, I am more than sure that these
types of problems exist in every school and
department at the University.
More than enough has already been said
concerning the conduct of the board of
trustees in recent months, so my suggestions
pertain mainly to the administration at
Auburn.
Some of those in administrative positions
seek only to increase their personal prestige.
The really disheartening news is that the
alumni and taxpayers are so blind to such
tactics.
It may be that a new School of Business
complex would be attractive and even
functional, but there are other more impor­tant
considerations which should take prece­dence.
For instance, many of the faculty in
the School of Business are actively seeking
new positions at other universities.
The faculty now employed in the business
school is surprisingly good, but lagging
salaries are forcing those faculty members to
look elsewhere. This, I believe, should be of
primary concern.
I see the role of administrators as one of
middle management, supporting the faculty
and acting as a buffer on their behalf.
Instead, it seems the business school admini­strators
fight the faculty tooth and nail.
Surely they must realize tnat a new
building will hardly be a coup if there are no
teachers. Indeed if there is no faculty, there
is no need for administrators so perhaps the
situation will work itself out eventually.
The challenge is there for the administra­tion:
fight to keep those faculty members
who have been instrumental in the accredi­tation
procedure.
If funds are a problem, industry can
provide tremendous monetary support to an
outstanding school and industry finds out
about outstanding schools from outstanding
faculties.
I say first build the school and then build
the buildings.
Judi S. Meadows 6BA
"Tomorrow...will always be another day,"
the words roll beautifully off the lips of
Scarlett O'Hara in the last scene of "Gone
With the Wind."
For many who watched last weekend, that
scene and several others in that greatest of
movies evoked shivers of pride and hope for
the South.
It is a truly moving film for any
Southerner, and the emotions and feelings it
produces cannot and should not be lightly
dismissed as dreams of an era that never
was.
There is, I believe—and I'll admit at the
outset to being a Yankee by birth—a degree
of accuracy in the generous picture of the Old
South painted by the events and people at
Twelve Oaks and Tara. That accuracy may be
based on generalizations, but no more so than
the accuracy of, say, "Roots."
As any objective historian knows, southern
society in the Civil War period was not made
up entirely of insensitive louts, nor were all
abolitionists highly-principled humanitarians.
But although the South has seen many
tomorrows come and go since the last
glowing embers flickered out in Atlanta and
although the region has certainly undergone
dynamic change, Scarlett's pained, almost
desperate whispers of hope for the morrow
have yet to be realized.
Last Saturday night, fully 116 years since
the end of the War Between the States, and
41 years after the making of "Gone With the
Scott
Thurston
Wind," three black women walked out of a
bar in Chattanooga and were shot in the legs
and hips by a blast from a shotgun. Three
men, one a K u Klux Klan leader, were
charged in the shooting.
A few blocks away from the scene, crosses
were burning.
Near Raleigh, N.C., more than 50 people
attended a "Hitlerfest" to show their support
for five men charged with the November
slayings of five leftists who were protesting
at a Klan rally in Greensboro.
And in the troubled little south Georgia
town of Wrightsville, a 9-year-old black girl
was wounded by a gunshot blast fired into
her mobile home from a passing pickup truck.
Two white men were charged in the shooting.
The examples could go on and on, and they
aren't all one-sided. There are probably just
as many cases of black prejudice and violence
towards whites. Racism wears many colors.
The changes in the New South are there
for all to see—new industries, glistening
steel-and-glass cities, a migration to the area
from the decaying Northeast. But for all the
superficial improvements, attitudes seem to
have stayed about the same.
Of course, any fair analysis must recognize
that not all those attitudes are bad.
For all the violent actions of both black and
white extremists on the fringe, race1* Re­lations—
the everyday, working kind of race
relations—are better in the South than in
many other parts of the country.
Maybe that's because, like Mammy, Big
Sam and Scarlett in the movie, the two races
have been through so much together that
they've grown to understand—and for'.the
most part respect—one another more than
they have anywhere else in the country.
But as "Gone With the Wind" suggests, the
virtuous attitudes are nothing new. Nor is
the ugly racism that still rears its head
occasionally.
The South-and southerners- deserve more
respect than they've received for overcoming
more prejudice in less time than any society
in the world (it was just twenty years.ago
that blakcs rode in the back of buses and used
separate bathrooms).
But until the region can climb the last few
rungs of the ladder and prove that the
changes are not just material and judicial,
but are deep-seated, attitudinal changes, the
worst as well as the best images of Rhett
Butler's South will remain.
And Scarlett will still be waiting for
tomorrow. >
Bumpers got 'the final shafting'
Editor, The Plainsman:
Well, it's finally over, the final decision
came through Wednesday; Tim Bumpers got
the final shafting.
I had never met Tim until the night of his
first disqualification. When I heard the
details surrounding the situation I was
appalled by the bias and unfounded charges
brought against Tim.
I found myself not being able to let yet
another person be ousted before allowing
A-bomb would have saved 10 million lives
Editor, The Plainsman:
This letter is a response to Katie Ratliff s
letter on "Same Time Next Year" of April 17,
1980.
Again and again people refuse to look at
the facts about the Vietnam war and its many
tragedies since the American pullout. The
people who did not clap at Alan Alda's
statement were the ones to show a great
"lack of insight" at the free movie "Same
Time Next Year."
I and many others believe that the A-bomb
was a feasible alternative to a sickening and
prolonged police action which nearly tore this
country apart. You say I'm crazy; let's look at
the facts for a change.
Heterosexuals want
Funderburk's opinion
Dear Dr. Funderburk:
As the largest segment of the Auburn
student body, we, the heterosexual commu­nity,
extend our congratulations on your
being named the new president of the
University.
We hope your new assignment will be a
success and that you receive the cooperation
and support necessary to make significant
contributions to the growth of Auburn.
Lack of support from the student body may
well be one of your major roadblocks,
especially as there is much controversy over
the selection procedures.
. In addition, we are interested in your
views of heterosexual life and how it affects
the student body as a whole. We would
. appreciate a response as soon as possible.
The Auburn Heterosexual Community
During the Vietnam War our B-52 bombers
dropped 10 times as many bombs than all of
our bombers did during World War II. Of
course some bombs were dropped on "apoliti­cal"
civilians. When in the history of war
have civilians not been killed?
I question your use of "apolitical" civilians,
Miss Ratliff. It would seem that people who
were concerned with feeding their children
and keeping alive would have done every­thing
in their power, including death, to rid
their country of the Communists who were
bringing hard times to North Vietnam.
As we all know they didn't try very hard.
It therefore seems quite possible that we
killed even fewer apolitical civilians than
many suggest.
The vast majority of bombs were dropped
on the mountain strongholds of the commu­nist
North Vietnamese. Those apolitical
Vietnamese would not move them so we tried
and failed.
The Communists were burrowed too deep
into the mountains to be hurt by conventional
bombs. It was at this point that nuclear
weapons were considered.
Many doubted that even the force of small
A-bombs would have any explosive effect,
but there was little doubt that the radiation
of the bombs would make the mountains
uninhabitable for Communist staging-opera­tions
against South Vietnam, Cambodia and
Laos.
The Johnson administration took the
humane view and abandoned the nuclear
option. After our embarrassing retreat from
Asia, the domino effect that the anti-war
protesters and liberals said would never
happen did.
South Vietnam fell to North Vietnam
shortly after our pullout. Military men,
doctors, teachers, lawyers and college
students were executed. Laos fell next and
the educated people were killed there as well.
As you can see, the Communists are very
concerned with human life.
To make things even worse, the Pol Pot
government took total control of Cambodia.
This government of extreme communists
killed millions of Cambodians and starved
millions more.
Russian-backed Vietnam then invaded
China-backed Cambodia, causing even more
starvation. People are still starving there.but
to a much smaller degree since world opinion
came down on now-united Vietnam.
The estimated death toll for South Viet­nam,
Cambodia and Laos since the American
pullout is 10 million.
It is my belief that nuclear weapons used
on the communists mountain strongholds,
where some 300,000 Communists lived, could
have saved those 10 million people. We are to
blame for those 10 million horrible deaths
because we wanted to be humane to 300,000.
Just because the Communists pulled the
trigger does not make us any less responsible
because we let them pull the trigger. How's
that for insight?
Richard Beauchamp, 2AM
18,000 students to decide whether he was the
best person for the office.
I could not believe the Jurisprudence
Committee did not clarify whether Tim was
innocent of the charges or left open to further
penalties. Never has an initial punishing body
been allowed to levy another penalty for the
same offense; this has been the responsibility
of the Appeals Committee.
The Bill of Rights of the United States
provides for each of its citizens. Amendment
VI containes the protection from being
subjected to double jeopardy, yet the
elections board seems to feel it is above the
jurisdiction of the Bill of Rights.
Where does the elections board derive the
right to clarify the decision of the Juris­prudence
Committee to its best advantage?
Tim, along with many of his supporters, feels
that he was found innocent of breaking the
regulations set forth by the elections board.
After he decided the elections board had no
grounds for levying an additional punish­ment,
Tim decided to continue to campaign.
Feeling threatened, the elections board
decided to again disqualify him as a
candidate.
The constitution of the SGA is more vague
and unprotective of individual rights than
any documentl have ever seen, except in the
communist states where their constitutions
are not worth the paper they are written on.
The constitution is written in such a way
that the elections board can legislate law at
will or to its best advantage. '
Another fallacy in the constitution of the
SGA is the lack of a clear-cut method of. due
process of law that must be followed by the
elections board when initiating a penalizing
procedure.
The statement by Dr. Allen at -the
jurisprudence meeting that "the case of due
process sounds good but does not apply here"
is an example of the flagrant displays of
incompetence and violations of civil rights
practiced by the student government.
The elections board contended that word of
mouth is an adequate method for notifying a
person of a decision concerning his candidacy.
This is a direct violation of the rights of a
candidate, as set forth by the Bill of Rights.
The board says it is not bound by the
national and state rules; this they are about
to find out is a great mistake.
Tim intends to take this case to the courts
and let them decide. Who knows, he may end
up in the Supreme Court making a new law,
and hopefully establishing a new, less vague
constitution.

Graduates want Philpott present
Dr. Philpott:
As spring quarter graduates, we would
like to express our gratitude and apprecia­tion
for your dedication as president during
our four years at Auburn University.
We have greatly anticipated your presence
on Commencement Day and have looked
forward to the customary handshake from
you.
Deprivation of this opportunity would
make us feel that a very significant part of
the Auburn tradition had been denied us.
In conclusion, with all due respect, we
would like to request your presence at the
commencement exercises on June 6, 1980,

Design students correct 'misinformation'
Severe weather warning requested
Editor, The Plainsman:
As concerned Auburn University housing
residents, I would like to express our dismay
at the lack of proper severe weather warning
• systems on campus.
Today the Auburn-Opelika area was under
a tornado warning from approximately 2:45
until 4 p.m.. During this time, none of the
occupants of my dorm were notified by
University officials that precautions should
be taken.
My concern is not only for the residents in
the University housing, but for everyone who
might have been on campus during the
warning.
The lack of respect and regard for the
severity of the weather displayed by the
nonexistence of a warning system endangers
thousands of lives.
Although we realize an all-campus warning
system would be costly, it seems feasible that
the security office, dormitories, and other
University facilities such as the library and
cafeterias could be equipped with some type
of inexpensive weather monitor which would
sound alarm at the onset of severe weather.
Once again it should be stressed that this
warning system would not only benefit
Auburn University, but the surrounding area
as well.

Editor, The Plainsman:
Last week's letter by the misinformed
engineer entitled "Purchasing machine
questioned" needs clarification. There are
several points the author apparently over­looked.
The first point is that the job outlook for
industrial design is very favorable. The
department has recently received requests
for qualified designers from Xerox,
Westinghouse, Hasbro Industries, IBM,
Gates, Lear, AMF, Boeing and a list of other
companies.
The second point is that the assumption
that the industrial design job outlook was
"bad" was based on the 1978-79 "Occupation­al
Outlook Handbook," which based its
outcome on these assumptions:
The economy will gradually recover from
the high unemployment levels of the
mid-1970s and reach full employment
(defined as an unemployment rate of 4
percent) in the mid-1980s.
No major events such as widespread
inflation or long lasting energy crises, or war
Thank you
will significantly alter the industrial struc­ture
of the economy or alter the rate of
economic growth.
(Not much basis for an occupational
outlook, is it?)
The third point is that the biomass center
will not be put in Smith Hall, but in Langdon
Hall. Also, it is not for the industrial
designers but for the industrial engineers.
The fourth point is that the $175,000
mentioned in last week's letter will be used in
maintenance (re-wiring) and general upkeep
only.
In closing, these facts are intended to
clarify (only) last week's letter and to counter
the opinionated judgements made aganst the
industrial design department.
This article was based on information
compiled by the student body of industrial

Gays don't deserve acceptance
....Sororities, fraternities, groups aided Special Olympics
Editor, The Plainsman:
In reference to last week's letter by the
gay community welcoming Dr. Funderburk
to office, we feel that the gay community is
asking acceptance that a University is in no
position to give.
Christians called on
to pray April 29
Editor, The Plainsman:
Tuesday, April 29, 1980, will be a day of
prayer and fasting for our nation. On that
day, 1 million Christians will gather in
Washington, D. C, meet with federal officials
and illustrate by their presence that America
is still "one nation under God."
I have been informed that the University
Chapel will be opened for prayer all that day.
Please support our nation by remembering
her on Tuesday, April 29, 1980.
Beth Holman, 4LEH
Quoting, "We can empathize with the
problems you must overcome, such as
proving yourself worthy of acceptance," it
should be noted that President Funderburk's
worthiness in no way compares to Auburn
accepting the "worthiness" of gay life, if
there is such a thing.
Morally decrepit people seem to be the
only ones who feel it is necessary to prove
their worth. At least in that letter there were
no pretentions of "gay rights" as in past
letters. The fallacy of their thoughts lies in
the word "acceptance'.'
We feel that the University should uphold
the standards of the community in which it
resides and not be subject to the personal
whims of a minority who do not uphold those
standards.

...Engineers helped UA students
Editor, The Plainsman:
On this past Friday night, April 11,1980, a
group of Alabama students and I had a
serious problem resulting from an automobile
accident in Atlanta, Ga. We were, literally, in
desperate need of assistance.
With calmness and competency, Professor
Joe Reece and a group of his mechanical
engineering students, gave us that assis­tance.
Details are not important; however, the
spirit of sympathetic support for people from
a sister institution in this state is something
that neither my students nor I will ever
forget.
Professor Reece's untiring efforts, hour
after hour, on our behalf marked him and
your University as something very special.
I and my students will be eternally grateful
to Professor Reece; you should be proud of
him.
I am a graduate of one of your biggest
rivals, Georgia Tech, and a long-time faculty
member at another. - •
But I want you to know that, whatever
future competitive events that there might
be between Alabama and Auburn, I will utter
at least one, quiet "War Eagle" in gratitide
for those who so admirably represented your
University.

Life of procrastinator
can be 'vicious cycle'
By Daphne White
Plainsman Staf fwriter
. • >\
For students who are burden:~e>d-by
the habit of putting things off,
procrastination is neither a cute
joke on a poster, nor a minor had
habit. It is a very real source of
anxiety, a barrier to their full
potential, a frustrating lifestyle. •
Almost everyone, at one time
another, procrastinates, said
Dennis Drake, counselor at lite-
Auburn University Student DeVe-lopement
Center. And procrasti­nations
brings a great deal of
anxiety and frustration.
"It's a vicious cycle. By; thet
time a proscrastinator gets
around to initiating a task, he is" sa
emotionally drained that he lacks\
the energy he needs to complete^
the task well," the counselor
noted.
Yet many procrastinators,
helplessly complain that the only
time they can do their best Wor||
is when they have to--and not.*'-
minute before. Such an
"inability" is the result of habitj%
self-fulling prophecy. "They
can't because they think they
can't," Drake said.
Even if he can struggle through
college with the procrastination
habit, the counselor added; a
student should realized that such
a life-style will ine­vitably
carry over into his career
and may even magnify because
the individual will have more
responsibilities to manage.
Although Drake points out that
there is no simple remedy for
breaking the proscrastinatibn
habit, the majority of those he has
helped to arrest the cycle have
done so through time
management and self-awareness
techniques.
Clarify the degree of proscrastji- .
nation habit. Do you procrasti­nate
in everything or just the .
same kind of things? Try! tcn-determine
why you put things off.
One reason, which Drake tenhs
"College Syndrome," results
because in high school a student's-:
time is much more regulated by
others. When a student comes to
college, he has a lot of time that
no one tells him how to handle.
At the first of the quarter,
things are slow and students yield
to the tern natation to delay study­ing.
By the time assignments and
tests are due, "the student has to
play 'catch up' for the rest of the
quarter," Drake noted.
"Some people don't know how
to set goals, (but) others set!
theirs too high," Drake said.
"Rather than commit themselves
to meeting their unreasonably
high expectations, some people
just put it off."
Still others procrastinate
because they lack the motivation
that comes from a sense of.
certainty about their curriculum, |
their career plans or some other
area of their lives, Drake said.
Drake also suggested talking to
a counselor or a friend who
doesn't seem to procrastinate.
They may be able to help you
adopt more productive habits and
give you tips on how to find short
cuts to saving work and time.
One non-procrastinator said she
adopted her efficient habits from
her mother. "I do things on time.
My mom finishes them early,"
the B-average zoology major
said. "At the beginning of the
week I write up a plan. I usually
don't succeed in getting every­thing
done, but it keeps me
ahead."
Finally if all else fails Drake
suggests looking for another**
approach to time management.
"Chop up complex problems into x
manageable steps," he advisjg
"For a term paper due at ^ J
quarter, decide that during
first week of the quarter you
choose a topic. During the second
week, you will collect notes on the
topic; the third week, organize
your nates; and the fourth week,
write the paper."
Drake noted that during high
school days, many students
developed the habit of only study­ing
at night. College students
should try to practice studying
during their daytime breaks
because they will be using their
time wisely. "Researchers have
shown that people are more alert
during the daylight hours," he
said.

Birthday

Ptxrtography: Stan Hk*s
'Paper Chase' actor to speak
By Randy McKae
Plainsman Staff writer
John Houseman, most recently
known for his starring role in the
weekly series, "The Paper
Chase," will speak in the student
activities building at 8 p.m., April
29. Forum credit will be given.
Among his other leading tele­vision
roles are appearances in
"The Captains and the Kings,"
"Bionic Woman," "Washington"
and "Aspen." The second volume
of his memoirs, "Front and
Center," has also recently been
published.
Houseman devoted himself
entirely to writing and the theatre
in 1931. In 1937 he became co-founder
with Orson Welles of The
Mercury Theatre,- which pro­duced
the "Men From Mars"
radio broadcast which rocked the
nation in November 1938.
For two years Houseman was
general editor and associate pro­ducer
of the "Mercury Theatre of
the Air." During this time he also
collaborated with Herman
Mankiewicz on the script of Orson
Welles' film "Citizen Kane."
In 1941 he went into motion
pictures as co-adapter of "Jane
Eyre" and vice president of
David O. Selznick Productions.
He worked with Alfred Hitchcock
on the script of "The Saboteur"
and directed Ingrid Bergman in
"Anna Christie."
Houseman joined the Office of
War Information two weeks after
the bombing of Pearl Harbor, as
chief of the Overseas Program
Bureau.
For two years he created and
supervised all "Voice of Ameri­ca"
news and feature programs.
Between 1945 and 1962
Houseman produced 18 feature
Tanning
From page A-1
"The bulbs do not produce any
heat, so the person tanning is
comfortable throughout the
process," Duncan said. He also
noted that most people prefer to
tan in the nude and, that the
timers are checked daily for
safety.
The Raquet Club has only one
tanning booth that resembles a
stainless steel gazebo. A yellow
and white umbrella serves as the
roof above the cylinder and inside
are a pair of footprints to show
customers where to stand.
Both tanning facilities are regu­lated
by the FDA and both require
• customers to wear protective eye
covering.
Why would anyone want to
invest in a tanning salon in one of
the sunniest states in the country?
"They are most popular in
Florida and California where
people are more tan conscious,"
«aid Duncan. "They also do well
• near college campuses," he said.
. As far as the nude tanning is
concerned, Duncan says that "a
l o t ' ' of his customers like to
tan"el buffo. " One of the
employees at Wonder Tan said
that those private parts are apt to
burn a little the first time because
they have never been exposed to
the sun. So if you're wondering,
they don't sell pasties...only sun
tan lotion.
films for Paramount, Universal
and MGM studios including the
official United States entry in the
1962 International Film Festival
at Cannes, "All Fall Down." In
television he has received three
. Emmy Awards.
Over the years he has contri­buted
numerous articles to
national publications including
"Harper's Magazine," "Vogue,"
"Theatre Arts" and "The New
York Times."He has also written
for many European magazines
and produced a number of educa­tional
films.
The first volume of his memoirs
appeared in 1972 under the title
"Run-Through." It was reviewed
on the front page of the book
section of the "New York Times,"
nominated for a national book
award and received the George
Freedly award for the best
theatre book of the year.
In 1973 he appeared in the
starring role of Professor
. Kingsfield in Twentieth Century
Fox's "The Paper Chase" for
which he received the Academy
Award for best supporting actor.
He also won other awards from
the Atlanta Film Festival, the
National Board of Review and the
Golden Globes.
Since then he has also starred in
Norman Jewison's "Roller Ball"
and "Three Days of the Condor"
with Robert Redford and Faye
Dunnaway. Houseman has also
appeared in Neil Simon's "The
Cheap Detective" and "Old Boy
Friends."

Felons moving to Auburn jail
By Peggy Wilhide
Plainsman Staff writer
The Auburn City Council, in a
special emergency session
Monday, voted unanimously to
expenditure of
the Auburn jail
security facili-authorize
the
$15,000 to equip
with maximum
ties.
The meeting was called by
Mayor Don Hayhurst after he was
informed that 20 to 25 maximum
security prisoners would be trans­ferred
to the Auburn jail becuase
of severe overcrowding in the Lee
County jail. The transfers are
part of 2,500 state prisoners
backed up all over the state at the
county level.
Police Chief Barney Harding
told the council "the Auburn jail
is simply not constructed to pro­vide
for maximum security pri­soners."
The Auburn jail would
be housing "hardened crimi­nals,"
and his police force would
be doing "a whole lot more than
running a weekend jail," he said.
He read a list of the prisoners'
convictions to the council, which
included charges of murder, rape
and robbery. "In my opinion, this
is the worst thing to happen to the
city of Auburn since I've been
here," he said.
Harding then presented the
council with a series of improve­ments
to maximize security at the
Auburn jail. The improvements,
estimated to cost $12,630.24,
would include new cell facilities,
fencing, monitors, cameras and
double-looking door devices.
"This is the only way I know
how to maximize what is not a
maximum security institution,"
he said.
Harding said. Female misde­meanor
offenders will now go
directly to Lee County facilities.
Harding was told Monday
morning that the prisoners would
be transferred the following day.
He had the date postponed in an
effort to give the Auburn jail
more time to provide maximum
security. Harding said he hopes
the project will be completed by
the time the prisoners arrive
April 30.
Harding also indicated that
police manpower will have to be
increased to accommodate the
new facilities. City Manager
Clyde Tisdale recommended that
the council start recruiting new
jailers. The council unanimously
passed a motion to hire five
jailers as temporary employees.
Councilman James Earl
Kennamer questioned the chief
about the problem of jailing mis­demeanor
offenders in the new
maximum security facility.
Harding said the section that had
previously been used for female
prisoners would now house the
misdemeaner offenders.
"We will try to get them into
court and out as fast as we can,"

Black historian speaks
on southern traditions
By Ford Bisley
Associate Editor
For two quarters Auburn has
been celebrating the Southern
Culture Festival, a series of
events honoring the 50th
Anniversary of "I'll Take My
Stand." The book is a collection
of essays on Southern society by
12 men, including three Auburn
graduates.
Last Friday "I'll Take My
Stand'wasthe subject of a lecture
; by the distinguished black histor­ian
John Hope Franklin. Speaking
to a small audience in Haley
Center, Franklin described the
book as a "manifesto" in defense
of Southern ideals and values.
Franklin, president of the
American Historical Association,
said the " 1 2 agrarians" who
wrote "I'll Take My Stand," like
other writers of the region, had ' 'a
high belief and commitment of
• Southern culture."
During the decade of the 1930s,
according to Franklin, the point
of deep interest among
Southerners "centered around
the problem of the future
economic and social direction of
the South.
"The thing that alarmed the
authors," Franklin said, "and
which they wrote about so com­passionately
was the growth of
industrialization in the South and
the consequential demise of agri­culture."
The 12 men were
convinced, Franklin said, that
agrarianism was "far superior"
to industrialism.
In addition, "the 12
Southerners...looked back to the
time when a life approaching the
ideal existed." According to
Franklin, this meant the years
before the Civil War when many
white Southerners could enjoy a
life of leisure. However, Franklin
noted, such a life could not be
possible without slaves to provide
labor.
Franklin was on campus for
two days as a Ralph Browi
Draughon history lecturer. In
addition to his Friday lecture he
spoke the day before on "Afro-
Americans in the 1930s." •
A native of Oklahoma, the
65-year-old Franklin is now a
professor of history at the
University of Chicago. He haa
taught at several colleges in the
United States and has served as a
visiting professor in Australia
and England. Franklin is also the
author of 12 books including
"From Slavery to Freedom: A
History of Negro Americans."
During his speech Franklin
described several assumptions
which he said the authors based
their arguments on. One, he
noted, was the belief that
"inherent in agrarianism was a
way of life and a way of making a
living that preserved the best of
bygone days."
A second was that the Negro
was an important part of the
Southern way of life. According to
Franklin, the Negro "was as
much a part of the Southern scene
as cotton or tobacco;'but that he
occupied a "subordinate, inferior
place."
A final belief held by the
authors, according to Franklin,
was that "the superior white man
could and would speak for all
Southerners. The voice of the
Negro was not heard in 'I'll Take
My Stand" except where ^hite
agrarians insisted that they !:new
the Negroes needs, his desires
and even his mind."
Franklin said that "I'll Take
My Stand" does provide son»-
valuable social commentary,
"on the whole it had an extreme^
backward looking stance" W
regards to social, economic and
racial matters.
Auburn Christian group plans
candlelight march for Jesus
Next Tuesday, approximately
1,000,000 Christians are expected
to gather in Washington D.C. to
pray for America.
Auburn Christian groups have
gotten together to plan events
that will parallel those of the
"Washington for Jesus" festival.
At 8 p.m. Monday, Christians
will gather for a candlelight
march from the drill field to the
amphitheatre. A 24-hour prayer
chain for America will begin
immediately afterward.
On Tuesday at 5 p.m., another
march will be held. A "praise
rally" will take place from 5:30-
6:30 p.m. at the Sports Arena.
Dr. Peter Doyle, minister of the
Covenant Presbyterian Church,
and Rev. Al Jackson of Lakeview
Baptist Church will be the
speakers at the rally.
Religious leaders have also
requested the state government
to in some way recognize the
date, so Gov. Fob James is
expected to declare Tur-jday a
"Day of Prayer and Fasting
SOUND
ADVICE
FACT: Low system power
and high distortion levels
(15-20 percent) are the
main causes of inferior
automotive sound and
system distortion.
FACT: Highway road noises
can reach as high as 80DB
and turning up your stereo
is simply not enough to
combat outside interfer­ence.
FACT: Only the Soundtrack
in Auburn has an effective
method of dealing with the
demands of automotive
sound.
FACT: Linear Power amps for
your car put a lid on all
outside interference and
let you hear all the music.
Liner Power amps are for
everyone. Whether you are
building a new system or just
wanting to upgrade your pre­sent
one. From 40 to 300
watts RMS with distortion
levels to rival most home
systems, linear power amps
offer the greatest improve­ment
for the investment.
Come by the Soundtrack and
test drive the linear power line
of automotive amps. You'll
hear what true automotive
sound is all about. Profes­sional
installation available.

Three University racquetball
courts have been ruined this year
because of a leaky roof. Courts
one, eight and nine buckled up
from moisture and have been
labeled unsafe and are off limits
to players, said Claude Saia, head
of Recreational Services.
The roof may have to be re­placed
and "definitely won't be
fixed at least until summer," said
Paul Kearney, Physical Plant
director. ' 'The floor problem will
be referred to the Campus Plan­ing
Committee. That kind of
repair is not in my budget."
All three floors will have to be
replaced. Kearney said he
couldn't tell at this time what the
total repair bill will be.
Although the leaky roof was
reported to the Physical Plant
several months ago, the mater­ials
to repair the roof were only
ordered "within the last days, "
Kearney said.
The Physical Plant has not
neglected the roof of the racquet­ball
courts, said Kearney, "We
have made minor repairs from
time to time, but we haven't been
able to catch all the leaks.
"Sometimes its hard to find the
leaks. In the winter we had a lot
of rain and the weather wasn't
favorable to repairing leaks so
some we got and some we didn't."
Kearney said there are a lot of
leaky roofs on campus and some
take precedence over others.
"A lot of times just looking for
leaks, a worker will create a new
one," said Kearney. A few weeks
ago one of those "new ones
caused Saia some humilation.
"I had arranged for a match
between the Cadillac of Racquet­ball
and Marty Hoean,"saiasaid.
"During the exhibition match it
started raining, the bottom fell
out and it started leaking in the
stands. Everybody had to move. I
was embarrassed. That's just not
Auburn."
We had problems from the start
with that roof, said William
Guerin, campus planner and
architect. "It wasn't considered a
good roof job from the start." . 'J
Although the warped courts are
not the best for playing, some
students still play on them despite
the warning signs. The courljs
aren't locked so anyone can step
in and out of them. ,' J,
"We try to keep them out," saiji
Saia, "but if they sneak in and
play and get hurt, it's their brfiaji
and butter. We have a sign. Why
do we need locks? Why should we
treat them like babies? If they arte
ignorant they ought to get hurt,,'
he said. * J

Volunteer organizations
honored for dedication
This week the Project Uplift
Volunteers and Student Volunteer
Services are sponsoring a
National Volunteer Week to thank
campus and community
members for their dedicated sup­port
and volunteer work in the
Lee County area.
Several University and com­munity
organizations have parti­cipated
by painting windows, dis­playing
appreciation posters and
entering them in a contest with a
$2 entry fee.
A booth was also set up on the
Haley Center concourse Wednes­day
with baked goods and ice
cream contributed by Phi Mu
sorority and sold by Mariners, a
women's military service organi­zation.
Poster contest entries with the
theme of volunteerism are on
display today in the area between
the Union and the Child Study
Center and tomorrow volunteers
will wear their organizations
T-shirts in celebration of National
Volunteer week.
All proceeds from these events
will go to help finance the chil­dren's
activities in the Project
Uplift People Reaching Others
(Pro Volunteer) program.
The PRO Volunteer is just one
of many services provided to Lee
County families through Project
Uplift, located on the Auburn
University campus.
According to Stacey Foster,
president of the program, some 65
volunteers, the majority of whom
are students at Auburn, act in the
capacity of a "special big friend"
for children in the area.
Volunteers usually spend about
four hours a week with their child,
taking them on hikes in the park
or special outings and are always
giving emotional support and en­couragement.
The children, who
range in age from toddler through
age 17, are usually experiencing
some social and emotional pro­blems.
"The program attempts to
reach children before problems
begin," Foster said.
Those wishing to volunteer
their services are asked to submit
an application and attend a train­ing
session • A personal interview
with the volunteer and coordina­tor
and Project Uplift is also
required. A suitable match is then
made between the volunteer and
a child.

Tim Bumpers' chances of be­coming
SGA president are over
for this year, but the junior from
Selma is continuing his battle to
prove that the University Board
of Elections was wrong in disqual­ifying
him from the 1980 presiden­tial
race.
Following last week's unani­mous
decision of Auburn's
Jurisprudence Committee to
uphold his disqualification, the
former candidate made one last
attempt to contest the election
through proper SGA procedures.
Allen Stapelton, speaking on
behalf of the Bumpers campaign,
told the SGA Board of Elections
that Bumpers was contesting the
April 10 election because of
"inconsistencies on the part of the
Elections Board."
David Armbrester, chairman of
the Board of Elections, delivered
a.statement Monday which said
"it was the unanimous decision of
the Elections Board that the
contesting of the 1980 Spring
General Election by Allen
Stapleton for Tim Bumpers, on
the grounds of inconsistancy by
the Elections Board was unfound­ed."
Bumpers notified The
Plainsman on Tuesday that there
is a strongpossibility he will take
his argument to a federal circuit
court in Montgomery sometime
next month.
"I will be meeting with my
lawyer in the next few days to
discuss the court case in which we
will argue that my due process
under the law has been violated,"
Bumpers said. "We may also
discuss the possibility of asking
for monetary damages due to
Local groups join in 'Earth Day' celebration
While the state of the earth was
being contemplated across the
nation during "Earth Day" Tues­day,
local environmental groups
held activities to promote their
ideas.
The Safe Energy Alliance, the
Auburn Society for Environmen­tal
Protection and the Auburn
Sierra Club each sponsored
activities here.
The three groups set up a
display on the Social Center Lawn
and gave out leaflets expressing
their opinions on environmental
and energy issues to promote
discussion. They also had dis­plays
showing energy conserva­tion
methods.
Seedling pine trees were given
away free. According to Larry
Pederson, coordinator of the Safe
Energy Alliance, the seedlings
were originally destined for a
town that refused to have them.
The ASEP also presented a
slide show in several area schools
concerning environmental issues.
The activities at Auburn were
only a part of those nationwide
commemorations of the 10th anni­versary
of "Earth Day."
The original celebration of
"Earth Day" in 1970, designed to
promote awareness of the state of
the earth's environment, resulted
in huge rallies in Washington D.C.
and across the country.
The Safe Energy Alliance is a
statewide group which has
societies principally in university
towns. The Auburn chapter meets
the first and third Thursday of
each month.

Buying a Diamond this Summer?
1
Looking for the Very best buy you can find in a diamond? If someone says 20, 30, 50, or 70
percent OFF....just what does it really mean? What is his discount really off of? Have you seen a
price list showing every weight and grade of diamonds? Are you sure your so called "discount
price" is from a legitimate original price? It cou<d be badly inflated!!
What can an inexperienced diamond buyer do? Wares suggest the following.
1. Seek out those jewelers that you feel you can have confidence In. We hope Wares
will be one of them. Let one of Wares American Gem Society specialist explain all
facets of grading and how it honestly effects price.
2. Use Wares price charts to understand exactly how grades are price related. (Arty
honest diamond merchant should be willing to allow you to study their price charts).
3. use Wares Diamond scope to properly examine each diamond before you decide.
No hand held magnification can as accurately examine a diamond.
4. Be convinced that you are HONESTLY being quoted a nationally standardized
grading system...and that you will be given a certificate certifying the exact weight,
color, cut, perfection and a chart on the diamond for future Identifica­tion
information.
5. Why do the jewelers at WARES think WARES LOOSE DIAMOND SYSTEM is your
best opportunity?

She was nominated from
Auburn after being interviewed
by professors and writing an
essay on public policy. Her nomi­nation
was screened at the state
level and she was named one of
four semi-finalists. The semi-finalists
were interviewed again
in Atlanta in January.
Stover was notified Saturday by
a registered letter which was sent
to her home in Decatur, Ala. "My
mom made my sister open it
because she was so nervous," she
said.
After Stover graduates from

Plainsman Staffwriter
For the past seven months he
has brought as many smiles to
children, students, faculty and
alumni as there are blades of
grass in Jordan Hare stadium.
Barry Mask, a 20-year-old
junior, has strutted his way into
the hearts of Auburn fans every­where
as Aubie the Tiger. He has
introduced, in a way few others
could do as well, "the true spirit
of Auburn University," as a third
grade teacher in Eufaula noted
when he visited her class last
week.
But Aubie tryouts are April 28
and 29 and Mask will be judging,
not competing. It was a hard deci­sion
for the award-winning
mascot to make.
"I accomplished what I had to
accomplish—getting Aubie off to
a good start," Mask said. "In
doing so, I expended a lot of my
time, and a lot of that time I
really should have been study­ing."
Mask's last perfomance as
Aubie will be at the Auburn vs.
Alabama baseball game on
A-Day Eve. His fans will see a
special performance, including
some dance steps Aubie has
never done before, he said. On
A-Day, the new Aubie will take
charge of the position.
Mask, who used his high school
acting experience and talent as a
disco teacher in his hometown of
Montgomery, in portraying
Aubie added, "I really want to do
Aubie again, but there are some
other problems on this campus
that I want to attempt to tackle."
The public administration
major said he wants to get more
involved in the SGA and the
changing of the Auburn city elec­tion
date. He also has plans for
getting new programs started
in his fraternity, Phi Kappa Tau.
But he can't talk about his
plans without adding, "Deep in
my heart I want to do Aubie
again."
The hours spent practicing in
front of the dance mirrors in the
coliseum, weight lifting and
running in a sweat suit with ankle
weights in the summer sun had
paid off. Aubie started his term
off as the only mascot to win blue
ribbons all three nights of a
national cheerleading and mascot
clinic in Memphis, Tenn., last
summer.
Aubie's popularity grew, and he
was called for interviews by
television, radio local and out-of-state
press. One of his happiest
moments came after the third
football game when the Univer­sity
of Alabama spirit depart­ment
called and asked for details
on the Aubie costume and show,
Mask recalled.
Since his reign as Aubie, Mask
said, "I have become an even
stronger Auburn supporter. I
think the students indentify with
Aubie as a light-hearted person,
having a good time, doing what
they would like to do."
To Mask, the 1980s is Auburn's
decade. "Auburn spirit is great.
There is nothing like it," he said.
"The day will come when Auburn
is number one, and I don't want
Auburn fans to get like Alabama
fans are now—spoiled by sucess."
Mask will be on the sidelines,
coaching the new Aubie through
summer and the rest of the year.
He would like to see an Aubie
Committee established to handle
the increased load of public rela­tions
work, he said.
All of Mask's dedication is
backed by a goal. "I don't want
Aubie to become just someone in
a suit who stands and claps his
hands he said. "In the future
Aubie can be utilized even more
in the public relations capacity."
He would like to see Aubie visit
an elementary school or civic
event in various towns around the
state weekly. Aubie, he said, will
make an important first impres­sion
on these kids. One thank you
note he received from his visit to
Eufala last week read: "Daddy
didn't like Auburn till I told him
about you." Another child wrote:
"When I go to Auburn, I hope to
be Aubie too."
Making kids happy is Mask's
forte. Last Christmas he visited
the Children's Hospital in Bir­mingham
and gave out Tiger
Rags. With all seriousness he said
he would like to send Aubie
around the world as a good will
ambassador.
"The way kids laugh is real
important," he said. "It will help
Auburn and the rest of the United
States."
An Aubie Clinic, for those stu­dents
interested in trying out,
began yesterday and will con­clude
today. The clinic is being
led by Mask, alternates Vicki
Leach and Bob Harris.
Contestants start off doing an
original routine in the Aubie suit
for the judges which are Mask, a
representative from the Alumni
Department, a representative
from the Athletic Department,
the spirit director.
The contestants who rate
highest in pep and rapport with
a crowd, creativeness, innovation
and personality are then inter­viewed
without costume by the
judge panel.
Before the winner's name is
announced on April 30, the contes­tants
will have performed for the
judges once more in costume.
The costume is designed for
someone between 5'6", 125 pounds
and 6', 190 pounds.

spring or sometime when all the
students would be able to vote."
Ireland said before he decided
to make a full scale attempt to
change the voting date for next
year he would wait and watch
how things went this summer.
"Of course," he said, "it's too
late to change the date any
further for this summer's elec­tion,
so I think I will see how it
goes this summer, gauge the
student response and then
analyze the situation for next
year."
Ireland said he had not yet
decided on whether to launch a
voting registration drive for this
summer.
"Kurt Furst has handled the
date change drive all year," he
said. "I am talking to him early
next week and he and I will decide
what we should do.
"It's not like students want to
take over the town. We just want
a voice in what goes on. We feel
we contribute enough to the
community to deserve that much.
Ireland gave the city council
mixed marks for how they react­ed
to the student's attempts to
change the voting date.
"They are listening to us," he
said, "which is more than some of
the past city councils have done.
Regrettably they haven't been
doing much for us, other than
listen."
Furst was more outspoken in
his criticism of the council.
"I blame them for not getting
the voting date moved back to
May," he said. "In a local issue
like this, it (the date change
attempt) has to start with the City

'Moonshine whiskey and gas'
now offered at local stations
By Margaret Ball
Plainsman Staffwriter
Some gasoline stations in the
Auburn-Opelika area are now
offering gasohol, "the fuel of the
future." Gasohol is a blend of
alcohol and gasoline. It increases
mileage and improves engine
performance, said fuel re­searchers.
Gasohol is nine parts unleaded
gasoline and one part distilled
alchohol made from corn and
other grains. Malon Bryant,
manager of G&O Oil Company in
Opelika described it as "moon­shine
whiskey and gas."
G&O at Pepperell and 2nd
Avenue, sells gashohol for $1.26 a
gallon, 11 cents more than regular
gasoline. "But it makes up for
Soil judges win contest
By Jerry Marino
Assistant News Editor
The Agronomy Club's Soil
Judging Team won its third
straight national championship
last Friday at the National Inter­collegiate
Soil Judging Contest
held on the campus of Penn State
University.
This is the first time in the 20
year history of the contest that
any school has won three conse­cutive
times.
About 60 schools across the
nation entered the regional level
:ontest this year. The Auburn
earn won its regional held last
Dctober at Morgantown, W. Va.
The team's coach, Dr. Ben
ajek, said he was surprised to
vin. "We knew we had a good
;eam, but we didn't know our
:ompetition."
Four soil sites were evaluated
y each of the four-member
earns.
Each team was allowed 40
ninutes at each site, with a
0 minute break between sites,
["he evaluation included a com-lete
description of the soil, done
1 accordance with the National
loil Classification System.
After the soil was described, the
tudents made predictions about
tie possible uses of the soil, such
s its suitability for housing or
griculture.
The key aspect of soil judging,
[ajek said, is "to master all the
standard terminology of describ­ing
soil. This makes it something
they have to study a long time."
The most important thing about
the contest is t h a t ' 'students get to
see soils in different parts of the
country. Knowing how to classify
soils is important in land-use
planning," he said.
Scholarship
available
The Auburn Chapter of Mortar
Board is now accepting appli­cations
for its annual scholarship.
Any student who has completed
more than five but less than seven
quarters of school is eligible for
the scholarship. Financial need is
not a consideration in the compe­tition.
Selection of the winner will be
based on academic character and
personal characteristics of
leadership and service.
Applications may be picked up
in the office of the dean of any
school, and they must be com­pleted
by Apr. 25, 1980.
the price difference in increased
mileage," Bryant said.
Engine or carburetor modifica­tions
are unnecessary. "Any car
can run on it," Bryant said.
Gasohol cleans the engine of
sediment and sometimes the oil
filter needs to be removed.
"I recommend that the oil filter
be changed in older cars after two
or three tank fulls," said John
Findley of Texaco's Pepperell
Service Station in Opelika.
"We've had good luck with sales.
It's not really in big demand, but
sales are picking up."
Texaco sells the gasohol for 35.1
cents per liter, 2.2 cents more
than regular.
"I sell it because I believe in it.
I get better gas mileage and my
car performs better," he said.
Huguley Oil Company at 1st
Avenue in Opelika sold more than
4,500 gallons of gasohol in the first
two weeks it was offered there
"Most of the regular customers,
plus a few new ones are using
gasohol," said Roy Hollingsworth
a station employee.
Huguley sells the fuel for 32.7
cents per liter at self-service
pumps, 35.3 cents per liter at the
full service pumps. It is eight
cents higher than regular and five
cents higher than unleaded.
"Most customers burn it regu­larly,"
Hollingsworth said. "They
are trying it out for the second or
third time. I don't check the
mileage, so I don't know if there is
a difference, but I do notice a
difference in performance."
The stations have had no bad
reports on gasohol. Its use is
increasing, but many people are
still unaware of it, Findley said.
