As the search for a new Auburn
president reaches its climax, a
letter from a faculty group protest­ing
search procedure and a petition
to halt the process altogether have
appeared.
The letter,' sent to local news­papers
by the Auburn Chapter of
the American Association of Uni­versity
Professors said, "We...
regret and protest the process by
which the search committee has
thus far conducted the search. A
shroud of secrecy has prevented
the faculty and student body as a
whole from either having the op­portunity
to understand how the
process was working or to have
meaningful role," the letter added.
This "shroud of secrecy'has led
to suspicions "the process was
rigged from the outset in favor of
one or two persons," the letter
said.
Dr. Frank L. Owlsley, president
of the AAUP, said his committee,
which represents' 'about 10 percent
of the faculty," felt that "the
selection committee should have
explained their criteria for selec­tion.
Nobody has found out what
the criteria were, and the main
point we had was concerning
(such) secrecy," Owlsley added.
Dr. Gordon C. Bond, president­elect
of the AAUP, said, "This
whole thing was pre-determined."
Bond added, however, that the
AAUP would, nonetheless, by
willing to get into the search
process. "We'd be glad to play any
role...to facilitate this whole pro­cess,"
he said.
A petition is presently circulat­ing
among faculty that calls for
"the selection process to be imme­diately
suspended."
Dr. Crystal Kelley, a member of
the Faculty Senate who is sponsor­ing
the petition said, "The Faculty
Advisory Committee has been
denied full participation in the
selection procedure."
She pointed to the inability of the
faculty committee to see all of the
applicants' resumes it wanted to
see as proof of this charge.
She added that the original ap­pointment
of the committee by the
governor "excluded Auburn fac­ulty,
staff and students."
Her petition adds that actions by
the search committee "has seri­ously
impaired faculty and staff

Presidential finalists
begin campus visits
More than 600 sign SGA petition
By J. G. Farlsh
and Tim Hunt
Plainsman Staff writers
The SGA Senate unanimously
passed a resolution Monday
requesting a change in the date of
city elections to a time when more
students will be able to vote.
In addition, the Student Lobby
Committee began last week circu­lating
petitions across campus and
has collected more than 600 signa­tures
in support of a change in the
elections date.
The SGA vote was seen as a
"substantialstep'by StudentLobby
Committee chairman Kurt Furst.
Furst noted formed SGA attempts
to get the date changed, saying
"The past times the SGA has tried
to get the date changed, they hit
some obstacle and just stopped."
He said he "feels that it will be an
uphill battle but that success is
possible with some hard work."
Furst gave several reasons why
the council should change the vote
date. "Primarily," he said, "the
change would make for a better
SUA-Cily Council relationship. It
would give the students a democra­tic
way to voice their opinions.
"In addition the vote will help the
council" said Furst. "Now their
fiscal New Year begins on Oct. 1,
the same day as inauguration. If
ihey were to change the date, it
would give the council time to
prepare their budgets before they
lake office."
Furst pointed out "in Tuscaloosa
the students vote while in classes,
and it seems to work very well."
Auburn presently holds general
elections in August, during sum­mer
quarter, and run-off elections
in September during Summer
quarter break.
Student complaints to the resolu­tion
are two-fold.
First, "the majority of Auburn
students are not in Auburn during
the election (or the run-off) ."
Secondly, "absentee voting is not
feasible because most students
would like to leave in June before
the campaigning starts, and would
not be aware of the candidates and
their platforms."
Also,according to the resolution,
it is hoped that the date change
could help Improve the 36 percent
voter registration in Lee County,
the lowest in Alabama, according .to
the Alabama data book.
Auburn students, the resolution
noted, have one of the highest
percentages of participation in
student elections of any school in
the southeast.
Many more Auburn students
would like to participate in the
voting process.
Furst said he hopes the petition
already being started, the passage
of me resolution and a lot work
will impress the City Council
enough to change the date.
In an interview Monday Furst
said "Petitions will continue to
circulate through mid-February at
which time we will approach the
members of City Council,"
SGA workers will set up petition
tables at War E agle Cafeteria and
anyone interested in volunteering
their help should contact Kurt
Furst at 826-4781 or 821-0128.
Kennedy speaks on campaign
The process of bringing finalists
to campus in the Auburn presiden­tial
search has already begun, the
Plainsman has learned.
Dr. H. Hanly Funderburk,
chancellor of Auburn University at
Montgomery, visited the campus
Tuesday to be interviewed by the
student and faculty search advi­sory
committees and the deans.
Funderburk met with the student
advisory committee for almost two
nours.
They discussed academic scho­larships,
accreditation of the busi­ness
school, faculty raises and
management changes.
'•My philosophy on academic
scholarships is they should be
presented on the basis of scholar-snip,"
Funderburk said in the
interview.
Funderburk established teacher
raises as "the major priority on
spending." The faculty at this
institution is Auburn's major re­source,"
he added.
Accreditation for the business
school was called "vitally impor­tant"
by Funderburk.
He also said he expects "Auburn
will be in for a lot of management
changes whoever is selected presi­dent."
.
"Whoever is placed in charge of
this institution will have to be first
of all,a manager," he added.
Funderburk said he realizes the
job of president would be difficult.
"One thing an administrator has to
do is work, and hard work doesn't
bother me," he said.
"Whoever the new president
might be,'; Funderburk said,"I
would hope he would have the
support of all concerned, but pro­bably
this is not possible, because
whoever becomes president will
have to make some tough decisions
down the road."
Harris said the commencement
of the visitations indicate the selec­tions
process is in its final stages.
Speculation is that six to eight
candidates will visit the campus in
the next two weeks.
Harris said that when a candi­date
comes to the campus, it is his
public declaration of his intent to
seek the job and it shows "the
search committee feels that these
people should be considered."

Robert Kennedy Jr., the nephew
of Democratic presidential candi­date
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, will
speak tonight in the Foy Union
Ballroom at 7.,
Kennedy, 26, will lecture on his
uncle's campaign and on a
biography the younger Kennedy
recently wrote on Circuit Court
Judge Frank M. Johnson.
Kennedy, nephew of the late
President John F. Kennedy and
son of the late Sen. Robert F.
Kennedy, will speak for an esti­mated
15 minutes, and then field
questions for approximately 45
minutes.
Twice Kennedy has canceled and
then rescheduled his lecture here.
His latest confirmation came
during Monday's Iowa caucus in
which the senator fared worse than
he predicted in his loss to President
Jimmy Carter. The Alabama pri­mary
is March 11.
Robert Kennedy Jr., a 1972 grad­uate
of Harvard, had been living on
a farm in Lowndes County, Ala.
Since taking a leave of absence
from the University of Virginia
School of Law to work on his book,
"Judge Frank M. Johnson: A
Biography," and his uncle's presi­dential
bid. After Sen. Kennedy's
official announcement of candi­dacy
in November, the younger
Kennedy moved to Birmingham.
The lecture is sponsored by UPC
Ho rizons, and grants forum credit.
Seating is limited to 700.
Auburn's student coordinator for
the Kennedy campaign, David
Wade, who invited Kennedy to
campus, said the possibility of Sen.
Kennedy coming to Auburn could
depend on his nephew's reception
here. "If Bobby gets a warm
reception, I expect (Senator)
Kennedy and more members of his
family to visit here," he said.

New attitudes hit Auburn athletics
SONNY SMITH
'Players sold more and more on academics."
By Rick Harmon
Editor
— Two professional football players returned to
campus this quarter to complete work toward their
degrees.
— Auburn did not try to recruit a few excellent
prospects because they "wouldn't be able to cut it in
college."
— One athlete reports an exodus away from curricu-lums
that in the past have been "safe degrees" for
athletes.
All these incidents have been cited as examples of
Auburn athlete's "new academic attitude."
"I feel that when you'sign an athlete it is a two-way
obligation," said Coach Doug Barfield. "Our part of
that obligation is to give the athletes an education and
to do everything in our power to help the athletes help
themselves.
"Of course our job is to win and to have an athletic
program that will favorably represent the school. But
we want to succeed in these things ethically and in a
way in which athletes won't be forced to drop by the
wayside."
Pat Waters, academic advisor for Auburn athletes,
said the "attitude established in the athletic depart­ment
is critical to an athlete's well being.
"I don't know how the attitude was before I got here,"
he said, "but I can tell you it is taken very seriously
now."
One of the areas in which the athletic administra­tion's
concern with academics has become apparent is
recruitment. Academics can sell a player on Auburn or
cause Auburn not to be sold on a player.
"When we try to recruit a player now," said
basketball Coach Sonny Smith, "the big thing we use in
selling him on us is academics. That's the first thing
Last week The Plainsman documented several
incidents of grade fixing involving Auburn athletes. In
the second part of this three-part series, The
Plainsman studies how these incidents are being
combated, not through tighter regulations or stricter
punishments, but through "a new academic attitude"
instilled in the athletes themselves.
we stress, and normally it's the thing the boy we're
trying to sign and especially his parents are most
interested in.
"A lot of players have Ideas of making it to the pros,
and some colleges really try to sell them on that, with
brochures and films describing their schools as
'gateways to the pros' and stuff like that.
"With the number of players Auburn has gotten into
the pros, we would be pretty foolish not to try and sell
that a little ourselves. But more and more players are
beginning to realize that If they're good a pro scout can
find them just about anywhere, and they are being sold
more and more on academics."
If academic excellence has caused some talented
athletes to come to Auburn, it has also kept some of
them away.
Waters said high school transcripts are being studied
more carefully than in the past and knowledge gained
from these studies is being used.
"I took a great deal of care in studying the high
school transcripts of possible recruits, and I think my
evaluations were taken very seriously.
"The way things are now, you can't afford to recruit a
player who probably won't be able to handle college. As .
a result, the recruits we signed are extremely strong
academically."

McMillan.- salaries 'a problem'
By John Mangels
Assistant News Editor
Despite an Increase in funding
for Auburn University contained in
Gov. Fob James' proposed 1980-81
state budget, teacher salaries
remain a "real problem," and a
"disparity" exists in state funding
between the University of Alabama
and Auburn, Lt. Gov. George Mc­Millan
told University Club mem­bers
Wednesday.
McMillan said a working draft of
the state budget being considered
by the interim finance committee

CHINESE PROMISE SUPPORT TO STOP SOVIET'S EXPANSION
ISM-China's
foreign minister Huang Hua said in Pakistan that the Chinese
people "together with the justice-upholding nations of the world" will
give their support to stop Russia's expansionism being demonstrated
recently by the Soviet's occupation of Afghanistan. Meanwhile, the seven
Moslem groups in Afghanistan have proposed a holy war (a jihed)
against the Soviets.
GHOTBZADEH CLAIMS SOVIET DANGER
American embassy personnel entered their twelfth week in captivity as
the Carter Administration continued its efforts to organize an
international economic boycott of Iran. The U.S. Monday renewed its
plea to the International Court of Justice to see the release of the 60
American hostages, while Iranian Foreign Minister Sadegh Qhotbsadeh
claimed Iran's "own borders are In danger" because of the presence of
Soviet troops in Afghanistan.

GOVERNMENT TO PURCHASE GRAIN TO RELIEVE BACK-UP-President
Carter has ordered the Commodity Credit Corp. to purchase
excess grain backed up in the grain pipeline because of action taken by
the International Longshoremen's Association. Carter is presently
withholding 17 million tons of grain from the Soviet Union because of the
Russian's military intervention in Afghanistan.
POLICEMAN DIES IN OKLAHOMA RIOT-One
auxiliary policeman was killed, and a State Trooper and three other
people were injured in a riot caused by racial tension in the city of Idabel,
Okla. Reportedly, tension has been building in the city following the

Sunday. The police have been threatened by a number of people in the
black community who believed that there was a cover-up concerning the
investigation of Johnson's death.

STEWART TOLD FARMERS TO GET READY FOR GASOHOL
PROGRAMS-Sen.
Donald Stewart told Alabama farmers attending the Alabama Farm
Bureau's Outstanding Young Farm Family Banquet, last Saturday night,
that they should prepare for the gasohol program. Stewart said that the
big oil companies are opposed to the use of the gasohol program and
perhaps that means the new fuel Is more efficient than people think.
Stewart also said that gasohol is not the only energy source to be
emphasized since it is 10 percent alcohol and 90 percent gasoline. Other
farmers should make use of coal reserves, solar energy and nuclear
power, said Stewart.

contained a 10.2S percent increase
for higher education, and a 10.31
percent increase for Auburn itself.
In preparing his 1979 budget,
James had recommended higher
education in Alabama operate on
level funding.
"There is no question teacher
salaries are still a real problem,"
McMillan said. "The situation has
been helped some by modest
increases but it has not dissipated.
"Auburn University is fortunate
because people are attracted to
this environment and have incen­tive
to remain," the former Auburn
student body president said. "If the
faculty were more strictly finan­cially
minded, I'm sure more
people would have left last year."
McMillan said this year Auburn
fell in the middle ot the state
university system in terms of
appropriation. "In examining all
the figures on higher education, it
doesn't appear Auburn has been
discriminated against," he said.
The lieutenant governor said the
University of Alabama had
received approximately $600,000
more in state funding than Auburn,
despite greater student enrollment
here and the presence of profes­sional
schools such as engineering
and pharmacy. He also said that
"on the surface, there appears to
be a disparity. I don't know what
the answer is, but as the legislative
session progresses, I think we'll
find it."
McMillan said his responsibil­ities
as lieuenant governor are
"unique," and said his role is to
"insure that every citizen of
Alabama has confidence that their
policy positions will be heard
before the state legislature with no
bias for or against them."
McMillan said the biggest prob­lem
facing the James administra­tion
in 1980 is to "decide if we (the
state) want to get by on present
revenue levels, or to face the fact
that this is a low tax base state and
to meaningfully face problems like
highway maintenance and
medicaid."
McMillan said possibilities for
increasing revenue levels included
re-evaluation of the efficiency of
tax dollar usage and some type of
state tax increase. "I think the
fairest tax is a 'user tax,' " he said.
"In my Judgement, we have to
hdve increased revenues, but
others may not go along with that.
"It would be surprising to me if
thegovernor decides we can operate
on present revenues," he said. "If
he does request increased
revenues, this is the year to do it.
The time for settling in is over, and
the time for plotting the directions i
this state will take is at hand."

morale and will Impair the effec­tiveness
of any president so
elected."
Kelley said she could not predict
the number of signatures her peti­tion
would receive, but that that
number will determine her group's
future actions.
Sen. Robert Harris, chairman of
the search committee, said, "We
have not kept the student and
faculty advisory committees in the
dark."
Harris admitted, though, that
certain parts of the search process
had been kept secret." We needed to
keep the search process out of the
media because we're obliged to
deal with some reputations,"
Harris added.
Harris said he received angry
calls from some of the men whose
names appeared in a recent
Associated Press story that re­vealed
the names of the presiden­tial
finalists (Harris and SGA
President Ron Taylor both denied
the report). "That is a clear
demonstration of why it is impor­tant
that this process be kept
confined," he added.
Morris Savage, a member of the
search committee, said, "We've
tried to make this open." He
refused to comment directly on the
protests, but he said, "I have not
been contacted" by the protesters.
Taylor, also chairman of the
student Presidential Search Advi­sory
Committee, said, "I do not
agree with these two statements
one bit.
"Everything that Sen. KoDen
Harris has told me would happen
has happened," he added.
"I think the AAUP letter was
written by someone who is not
involved in the faculty advisory
committee ."Taylor said.
As to his not being able to see ?11
of the applications turned hito
the University, Taylor said, "I
really don't see what good seeing
200 plus applications would do. One
thing I believe about this process is
that certain things need to be kept
confidential," he said.
Dan Roberts, SGA vice-president
and advisory committee member,
disagreed with the protests, too.
Roberts said, "I don't disagree
with Gov. Fob James and the way
he appointed the search Commit­tee
either," Roberts added.
Academics
From page 1
Barfield agreed that Waters' evaluations wern taken
seriously.
"Sometimes Pat will tell us not to recruit some
athletes after he has screened them. Hewill tell us that
there is not way this guy can make it in college, so we
will have to drop them. There were one or two we had to
drop this past season.
"It hurts having to turn some of these athletes down.
But the way we look at it, turning him down is for the
best.
' 'What we try to look for is ability and character. If
the guy has the character to work both athletically and
academically, in the long haul he will be the type of
person who will win for you."
Besides recruiting, a shift in emphasis on the
seriousness of the athletic administration toward
academics can be seen through the time and expense
spent on educating the athletes.
For Auburn athletes having scholastic difficulties,
classes are mandatory, study halls are mandatory and
help from trained tutors is free.
"We do everything that is possible," said Barfield,
"lo help our athletes help themselves.
"We spend about $20,000 a year to help them with
their studies," he said. "We have programs to help
them with their reading. We have an academic adviser
to help them with counseling. We have tutors and study
halls. We do everything we can to help them work, but
we won't do the work for them."
Thursday, January 24, 1980 The Auburn Plainsman
Barfield also said many athletes have to be morew
disciplined in their studies than other students.
"For one thing we insist on our players going to
class," he said. "If a guy doesn't go to class and give it
a real effort, I won't go the last mile' to help him.
Although the change in attitude toward academics
may have started out with coaches and administrators,
it has been the athletes themselves that have brought
about the real changes.
"I knew a lot of guys originally, who just didn't care
about getting an education," said one athlete. "They
would just say they wanted to play sports, and they
would either turn pro or become a coach when they got
out.
' 'But a lot of them realized how hard it is to play in the
pros or get a coaching job and started changing to
curriculums like business and marketing, so they
would have something to fall back on."
A member of one of Auburn's non-money-making
sports said all the athletes performing on the team
were primarily interested in getting an education
because "after college there is really nowhere your
athletic ability can take you if there is no real pro
circuit for you to go."
Another athlete that recently graduated from Auburn
said "I don't know what has caused it, but athletes
seem to be much more concerned now than they used to
be about grades.
"I think I might be prouder about that," he said,
"than I am about their record on the field."

honest diamond merchant should be willing to allow you to study their price charts).
3. use Wares Diamondscope 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,

New AU president already selected
Competition saves lives
The Red Cross blood drive is again at full
force at the University.
The goal of 4,812 pints, the world record
set on the Auburn campus in 1967, is a long
way off, but the possibility of reaching it is
there. This drive gives every person in this
area an opportunity to help save someone.
It also gives all students, faculty and staff
the opportunity to compete with the
University of Alabama. We can easily beat
UA with just a little time, concern and good
red blood donated by everyone.
And this time, the score saves lives.
Running 'Doonesbury'
This week when The Plainsman was faced
with the decision of whether to run news
about life at Auburn and the things that
really may have an effect on the lives of our
readers or Doonesbury, the decision was easy.
But some readers who care more about
Auburn's presidential search, club announce­ments
and what's playing at the free movie,
caused us to reconsider and run news anyway.
For those readers that feel a week without
Doonesbury is like a day with chemistry labs.,
The Plainsman has condensed the Doones­bury
strip into one paragraph minus all
illustrations and humor in a poor attempt at
placation.
Joan's mother meets Joan's boyfriend. His
name is Zeke and Joan's mother hates him.
Zeke explains how he has a job as a caretaker,
but can support Joan because he moonlights
as a dope dealer. Joan's mother looks like she
is quite sick. Joan asks her mother if Zeke can
stay the night. Joan's mother says sure—on
the couch. Both Zeke and Joan look quite
sick. Rick (Joan's father) comes home and
talks to his wife, who has been staying up to
make sure Zeke stays on the couch. Rick
meets Zeke. Rick looks quite sick.
Stay tuned next week, when Doonesbury
will return with illustrations and humor.
Five trustees have already picked Auburn
University's next President.
Far from any students and faculty, this
search committee selected 20 candidates to its
liking, from 200 presidential aspirants.
Only they know their reasons why.
These five trustees then allowed five faculty
"advisers" and SGA President Ron Taylor to
glimpse at the resumes of most, but not all, of
their favorites.
Then, far from any "advisers," these five
decided on their very top picks for president.
Of the four to six remaining candidates, not
one owes his status to the inputs of any
professor or student at Auburn. They all are
indebted to the five trustees.
During the next few days, students and
faculty will question these favorites and
review their backgrounds, but the decision has
already been made.
One of these favorites will be Auburn's next
president.
Dave
White
Now, students and faculty can do their part.
The five trustees want their "input" now.
The five don't want everyone to think they
alone have chosen Philpott's successor. They
want faculty and students to think they had a
voice in it.
The five trustees want everybody to fuss
and worry over their favorites, and after
enough fuss and worry, they'll meet secretly
with seven other trustees.
Far from any "advisers," these trustees will
then pick their favorite of all the favorites.
Then everyone will be happy.
The trustees will have their very favorite
man installed as president of Auburn
University, a man they chose all by them­selves.
Faculty and students will keep telling
themselves that all their "input," all their fuss
and worry, must have influenced Auburn's
future-somehow.
They will think their views really mattered.
Trustee John Pace III, however, said three
months ago, "The Board members will make
up their own minds regardless of any input
from the faculty and students."
But faculty and students won't remember
that. They'll remember all their fuss and
worry. The trustees will praise the fuss and
worry and smile.
That's the way it is. That's the way it will be.
Because that's the Auburn way.
Selection critics don't know issue
Changing the vote date
The petition circulating on campus asking
the City Council to consider changing the
Auburn city election date now has 600
signatures. It needs more.
A petition with thousands of potential
voters' signatures carries weight with any
politician, even the Council members.
Now, city elections take place summer
quarter, ^ h e n few students are on campus.
Holding the election when more students
are at school would simply support a more
democratic process.
Resolving this inequity now will answer a
persistent problem that will otherwise plague
future students and city officials.
And signing your name might help.
Boycott called outrageous
Matt
Lamere
Strike up the anthems; the athletes are
coming.
The crowd is murmuring excitedly as the
mass of Olympic competitors begins to file in,
not as one big group mind you, but separated
into clusters, according to which country they
represent.
Each group follows its country's flag, boldly
displayed in the foreground; the flag is dipped
symbolically as the groups pass the grand­stand
to honor the host country of the games
(unless, of course the flagbearer's country
doesn't particularly like the host country).
The Olympic hopefuls are adorned in
warm-up suits radiating brilliantly with the
official colors of each athlete's sovereign
nation.
Emblazoned on the front of the warm-up as
well as the athlete's competition uniform is the
collection of letters, to remind us which
country each athlete represents (as if we could
really forget).
Of these hopeful athletes, a few will prove to
be the best in the world at his or her particular
sporting event. These select few will receive a
shiny gold medal, stand on a podium before all
their peers, and hear his or her country's
national anthem played to honor his or her
nation.
This time around, the Summer Olympics are
to be held in Moscow, the capital city of a
country that is at present trying to militarily
overrun one of its neighbors.
President Carter has now issued the
statement that if the Soviets don't withdraw
from Afghanistan within a month, then the
United States will not show up in Moscow
when the Summer Games roll around.
Now, there are many reasons stated in favor
of this idea some good, some bad. but there is
really only one reason given in opposition to it:
"We should leave politics out of the Olympics."
Great idea! But politics are already so deeply
embedded in the Olympics, the task is not to
keep them out but to get them out.
I'm afraid, however, that this idea is far too
idealistic for this realistic world to ever see it
through, and, reluctantly, the U.S. must be
realistic en this matter.
The Soviets are playing with the lives of
many thousands of people and if President
Carter can play a little; with the Olympics in
order to stop the Soviets from playing with
human life, then let him.
Would athletes really be hurt by this?
Who knows, maybe all the athletes forced to
boycott the Olympics could get together and
compete just for the heck of it.
No national flags, no national colors, no
national insignias, no national anthems: just a
bunch of athletes together for the true spirit of
competition.
But no, that's outrageous idea. Then how
would athletes get their pictures on a box of
Wheaties?
During a Tuesday telephone interview with
Sen. Robert Harris, chairman of the Presi­dential
Search Committee, Harris turned the
tables on-me and asked, "Steve, what does the
opinion at the University seem to be about the
performance of the committee?"
That is a typical Harris question. He is
genuinely concerned about the opinions of
Auburn's faculty and, students. He loves
Auburn very much and always tries to take
her best interests to heart. I
"Two groups, the American Association of
University Professors and a group of
psychology professors have issued a letter and
a petition, respectively, that criticize the
performance of the committee in providing
outside input," I said.
It made me sad to tell Sen. Harris that, for I
realize that the two groups who presented the
protests have not been involved closely enough
with the selection process to know what has
really taken place.
None of the members of either group has
been involved with the faculty advisory
committee. As far as is known, neither have
they contacted members of the search commit­tee
with their complaints before publishing
them.
The process of their rise to the point at
which they feel they can criticize is as
clandestine as they accuse the search commit­tee
of being.
If they had been closely involved in the
process, they simply would have not made the
statements they did.
The psychologist's petition points to the
inability of the faculty advisory committee to
secure the opportunity to review the resumes
of all presidential candidates instead of only
the 16 most important.
It would have been useless to view all of the
more than 200 resumes, for the search
committee can be trusted to weed out those
they would not have been able to work with.
Such a review may have lead to a leak,
endangering some candidate in his present
position.
Ron Taylor understood this point. He fought
for months for the right to see the resumes,
and when he procured that right, he realized
that "certain things have to be kept confi­dential."
Taylor says that even without seeing all
200-plus resumes, "they have kept me
informed." Everything that Sen. Harris has
told me would happen has happened," he
added. Other members of that committee have
agreed with Taylor.
Steve
Farish
The AAUP, though, seems to have forgotten
to ask members of that committee for their
opinions. "The advisory committees have been
bound by secrecy about the progress and
process of the search," they write.
Both protests called for the inclusion of the
two committees in interviewing the finalists as
they come to the campus.
Such an action has been in the works since
the beginning of the search process, and on
Tuesday, as the first finalist came to Auburn,
both groups were able to spend almost two
hours each with him.
The AAUP also complains the criteria of the
search committee have never been made clear
enough.
Members of the search committee virtually
have begged that University groups submit
characteristic sketches they would favor.
The AAUP did not submit one. The faculty
advisory committee did, and I am certain it
was read and taken into consideration by the
search committee members.
The AAUP letter also criticized the "very
limited channels of communication" that have
been involved in the search.
Throughout the process, members of the
search committee have made themselves
available to students and faculty. I have been
able to interview Sen. Harris alone six times
about the process.
Search committee member Morris Savage
told me, however, that no member of the
AAUP has ever been in contact with him about
any aspect of the search.
The question is, then: have the AAUP and
the psychology professors involved and
informed themselves on the search enough to
issue their protests?
I really do not think they have.
It has not been a process enveloped in "a
shroud of secrecy," as the AAUP suggests.
As PlainsmanEditor Rick Harmon wrote at
the beginning of the selection process, "All
students really have is faith."
Our "iaith" has been well invested.

Worldwide tension now beats bloodshed later
Hope, it is said, is a good companion but a
poor guide, and as the Soviets march through
Afghanistan, many of us allow ourselves to be
guided by hope rather than reason.
There's nothing to worry about, some say.
After all, Afghanistan will be Russia's Viet­nam.
And even if is isn't, the only reason the
Russians felt compelled to invade the country
was to ensure security from Islamic rebellions
in Russia's southern regions.
Such interpretations do indeed offer hope,
and it would be very nice if we could rely
on their accuracy.
The trouble is we cannot, and there is
evidence to suggest that doing so would be a
blunder of the highest order.
As far back as December, some suggested
that the Soviets weren't the innocent bystand­ers
they professed to be during the takeover of
the U.S. embassy in Tehran.
One analyist of Soviet affairs who appeared
on PBS' MacNeil/Lehrer Report said the

Soviets had violated Turkish and Iranian
airspace three days before the takeover to
complete a massive airlift' of troops and
supplies to South Yemen.
Then, a few days after the takeover while
the world's attention was diverted, the
Soviet's began the buildup that led to the
recent invasion of Afghanistan, he said.
If they didn't have prior knowledge of the
take over plans, he concluded, the Soviets at
least took every opportunity to exploit the
situation.
Another guest on the same show, a
Columbia professor, countered by arguing
that (and remember this is in December) any
notion that the Soviets are up to no good is
"mischievous" and could further complicate
already complex problems.
In Monday's "Birmingham News," syndi­cated
columnists Rowland Evans and Robert
Novak wrote,, "Secret intelligence reports
reaching Washinton have pinpointed a Soviet
invasion of Pakistan's border regions within
the next four weeks, raising the specter of
renewed Russian aggression and the question
of how the United States will react.
"Although the Soviet move will be explained
in Moscow as a brief incursion to clean out
'nests' of 'imperialist saboteurs' operating in
Afghanistan from Pakistan border bases"
Scott
Thurston
wrote Evans and Novak, "It will actually be
another invasion across the border of a
sovereign state."
Such evidence is of course highly specula­tive.
But other evidence is much more
concrete. Saudi Arabia, for example, reports
that hundreds of Cuban and Soviet troops have
been airlifted into Marxist-governed South
Yemen in the past several weeks.
South Yemen is on the southern tip of the
Arabian peninsula, and the Saudis are
convinced that the Kremlin plans to use the
country as a base from which to eventually
encircle the Persian Gulf oil fields and shipping
And so the conflicting arguments go.
Some would have us believe that events in
Afghanistan are an abberation of normal
Soviet policy, that we've done that same kinds
of things in Vietnam and Santa Domingo
parallels which are tenous as best—and that
when the Kremlin hawks have had their fill
everything will be all right again.
On the other hand, we see that Afghanistan
is but another name on a long list of Soviet
victims, a list including Latvia, Estonia,
Poland, East Germany, Romania, Bulgaria,
' Hungary and Czechoslovakia, not to mention
the Moscow-backed invasion and starvation of
Cambodia.
Seeing this, it is hard to believe that
Afghanistan is anything but business as usual
for the Kremlin.
This time, business as usual could mean
World War HI. We can hope it doesn't, but
hope alone may not be enough.
Resolve, the kind President Carter is
learning every day, will be required to avert
catastrophe, and warn the Soviets that
business as usual is unacceptable.
Such resolve, manifested in an Olympics
boycott, grain embargoes, tough trade stances
with allies who refuse to cooperate with our
efforts, and increased military presence in the
Middle East will no doubt cause some material
problems at home and tension worldwide.
But material shortages and tension now
would be infinitely better than bloodshed later.
No-meal plans offered soon by AU
At the end of last quarter, meal-contract
students received a letter from Food Services
saying Alumni cafeteria (home of the 5'8"
personnel) would be dropped from the meal
plan.
I checked the records, and sure enough,
then was a suspicious pattern. The Quad
Center was cut off from the meal plan, then
Terrell, and now Alumni. This leaves only
Magnolia cafeteria on the contract system.
If my caculations are correct, it too will fall
within the next few months. When it does,
contract students will receive another personal
letter something like the following:
Dear Contract Student,
How are you? We are fine. How are your
family and friends? We're glad to hear that.
Yes, there are big plans this quarter at Food
Services. For instance, we plan to fix an ice
machine, do away with food that causes
irregularity, and fix the lids of the bread trays
at Magnolia so that they don't slam down on
your hand every time you try to get a slice.
Tim
Dorsey
We are also expanding our cafeterias'
weekend hours. You can now have lunch on the
weekend any time from 12:10 to 12:17 Guam
Central Time on any day with a total lunar
eclipse. We have spent long hours thinking of
. how to serve you better and we finally decided
to cut you off from the meal plan. That's right,
we've cut out Magnolia, thus closing down the
contract system.
However, as a convenience to you, we'll still
offer the three meal plans to choose from. You
can choose not to eat for seven days, not to eat
for five days, or not to eat 99 meals.
We feel that this move will eliminate
washing and maintenance costs, as well as
saving food and your time. We're simply
eliminating the middle man, and letting you
pay money directly to us without any follow-up
visits.
I If you decide to go the Chefs Club route
instead, we have good news. Because we're
anticipating immense popularity lor our new
meal plan, we're going to model our Chefs
Club system after it.
Your Chefs Club card will now be valid to
"not" buy a la-carte food, and still cost only
$10!
No need to thank us; it's just another of our
many new "non-services" we're offering in an
attempt to create a "new-wave" image.
We're sure you'll agree that we're doing
everything we can to make Auburn a unique
eating experience. Again, thank you. '
Dissatisfaction over search explained
Athlete attacks probe
Editor, the Plainsman:
In reference to the article concerning grade
fixing for athletes, I am sick and tired of
reading articles that put down our sports
program.
Almost every week there is some type of
article concerning our athletic department that
has a negative outlook.
Why can't we have students like other
schools that stand behind their athletic
department and are proud to say they are part
of the school that the athletic teams stand for?
I'm not saying we have no fans, because we
have a lot of fans who are the best that could
be found anywhere. But I have been around a
lot of colleges and I have never seen a "gap"
between some of the students and the athletic
department.
Why can't we all pull together and make
something that everybody, whether athlete,
student, fraternity brother or even professor,
can all be proud to say they are a part of?
I have been a football player for two years
here, and have seen a lot of "blood, sweat and
tears" throughout our athletic program.
Yes, there are some advantages to being a
so-called "jock," but no more than being a
fraternity brother. In the classroom, I have
seen more disadvantages than advantages
because I am an athlete.
I have never had a teacher here who has
helped me because I am an athlete, but I have
felt like I have been discriminated against
because of this.
When I first came here, I was told by some
of my teammates to "never let a teacher know
you play football." >
I won't deny that a couple of players of
different sports have gotten help, but I do
know that a great majority of us study and
struggle to make good grades for a degree,
just like everybody else on this campus.
I have never been helped or even offered
any assistance with my grades, and speaking
for a lot of others, I don't want any help! I want
to earn my degree just like everybody else.
Probe lauded
for exposing
grade 'injustice'
Editor, The Plainsman:
Thank you for excellent investigative
reporting exposing the widespread injustice
against non-athletic students.
Degrees as well as grades should be earned
instead of passed out, cafeteria style.
It is harder for someone not in varsity
athletics to pass a class when he is competing
against someone who doesn't lift a finger and
can get an "A
Thanks.
Eric Johnson, 2PB
I have heard a lot of stories about othjr
groups that receive benefits from professors,
but why aren't these printed in your news­paper?
Mr. Pat Waters, our academic counselor, is
as honest a man as they come. I think it is a
disgrace to reflect possible illegal doings on his
area of concern.
Why don't people get off of the athlete's
back and let us be the people that we are? We
aren't just "jocks," but we are Auburn
students too.
Our school would be a lot better off if we all
would support all different aspects of Auburn
and stop trying to pull some of them down.
, Thank you for letting me express my
opinion, and I hope you will print something of
this sort to let our students know how we feel
at Sewell Hall.
I don't want to give my name, because I am
not speaking personally, but for a lot of other
teammates.
War Damn Eagle!
Sewell Hall
Editor, The Plainsman:
Accompanying this letter is a petition now
being circulated in all academic and admini­strative
departments on campus.
This petition is the result of the deep-seated
dissatisfaction with the conduct of the presi­dential
selection process by the Auburn
University Board of Trustees.
The purpose of this letter is to document the
source of this dissatisfaction by providing a
brief synopsis of the events leading up to the
selection of a new president.
Following the announced retirement of
Auburn President Dr. Harry Philpott, Gov.
Fob James appointed a search committee
composed solely of members of the Board of
Trustees.
In response to some pressure by the Faculty
Senate, Trustee Search Committee Chairman
Bob Harris assured the faculty that their
participation in the selection process would be
sought.
A Faculty Advisory Committee to the
Search Committee was composed of the
executive officers of the Faculty Senate, and
unfortunately, was granted no voting privi-ledges.
On Dec. 14, the advisory committee was
informed that the Trustee Search Committee
had narrowed the field of approximately 150
applicants to 19 candidates.!
The faculty advisory committee was denied
access to the credentials of all the applicants
who had been initially rejected.
In addition, the Faculty Advisory Commit­tee
was allowed to see the credentials of only
15 of the final 19 applicants, ostensibly because
the remaining four candidates did not want
their names released to the faculty.
The following week four more applicants
were withdrawn from consideration, and of the
final 15, the Faculty Advisory Committee was
still denied access to the credentials and
indentities of some candidates.
On Jan. 2, Trustee Bill Nichols contacted the
Faculty Advisory Committee to indicate that
final candidates were being interviewed by the
Search Committee, but faculty were denied
participation in the interview process.
On Jan. 15, the Faculty Senate passed a
resolution requesting full faculty participation
in the interviewing process.
Since that time, the field of candidates has
been inexplicably reduced still further by the
Search Committee, and the Faculty Advisory
Committee has been invited to interview these
c&n d i d a 16 s
Our hope is that the Board of Trustees,
realizing the widespread dissatisfaction of the
Auburn community with the hasty and
ill-conceived conduct of the search process, and
also recognizing that in the face of such
distrust, the effectiveness of a new president
would be seriously compromised will suspend
the selection process until there has been
adequate provision for meaningful participa­tion
on the part of the faculty, staff, and
students at Auburn University.
Barry R, Burkhart, Ph.D.
Glen D.King, Ph.D.
Petition:
Whereas: The Governor's appointment of the Search Committee for the president of Auburn
University exluded Auburn faculty, staff, and students, and.
Whereas: The Faculty Advisory Committee (composed of officers of the University Senate
and accepted by the Search Committee in an advisory capacity has been denied full participation
in the selection procedure by: being denied access to the resumes of most applicants, being
denied meaningful participation in the interviewing and final selection of candidates thus far, and
therefore being rendered incapable of providing a truly informed advisory opinion, and,
Whereas: The appearance of clandestine and undemocratic procedures employed by the
Search Committee has created an atmosphere of suspicion, distrust, and cynicism which: has
seriously impaired faculty and staff morale and will impair the effectiveness of any President so
selected
Therefore, be it resolved that the undersigned faculty and staff: have serious concern that the
process through which a new president is being selected is not in the best interest of Auburn
University and, call for the selection process to be immediately suspended until such time as
provision can be made for a Search Committee composed of voting faculty, staff, students, and
Board of Trustee representatives to review all applicants and participate fully in the selection of
acceptable candidates to be presented to the Board of Trustees for final selection.
Nuclear support rests on public's short memory
Editor, the Plainsman:
Last Thursday, Mr. Owen, senior vice
president of Duke Power, candidly described
an extensive campaign the nuclear industry
has mounted to reduce public questioning of
nuclear energy in the aftermath of Three Mile
Island.
His one-sided, self-serving speech should not
be merely dismissed as a deceptive plot of the
nuclear industry. It may not matter whether
the senior official deliberately misconstrued
facts and figures, or merely unintentionally
subverted them; the result may be the same.
Carl Walkse, president of the Atomic
Industrial Forum, the industry's major trade
group, recently alluded to the danger: he
attributed partial restoration of nuclear
energy support to the "short memory of the
public."
One of Owen's more irresponsible state­ments
was "no one has been hurt or killed by
civilian nuclear energy." Even the pro-nuclear
Atomic Energy Commission, forerunner to the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, estimated
there had been some 10,000 disabling injuries,
including 321 fatalities.
The U.S. Consumer Protection Administra­tion
predicts about 1,000 men are expected to
die from radiation-induced cancer from uran­ium
mining alone. Many studies have indicated
increased rates of cancer among people that
live near or work in nuclear facilities.
Unfortunately, radiation-induced health,
problems may not show up for years. In the
meantime, the nuclear industry gets away
with its farcial claim of "no" (or "few") injuries,
and at the same time, more and more experts
'Intellectual honesty5 endangered
Editor, The Plainsman:
Last Thursday night a portion of the Auburn
student body put on a disappointing display.
During the question and answer session of
the Forum event concerning the accident at
Three Mile Island, a man questioned some of
the logic used in the speech.
Immediately, upon sensing this to be an
anti-nuclear query, the audience groaned and
the individual was subjected to verbal abuse.
Statements such as, "Go home!", "shut up!"
and "Somebody ought to turn off your energy,"
were among the more printable I heard.
Perhaps the students objected to being
awakened from their Forum-induced slumber;
however, I suspect that it was old-fashioned
intolerance to opposing viewpoints which
aroused their ire.
It is well known that nuclear power is a
controversial subject and, as such, it is evident
that the solution is not to be found in emotional
responses, but through an open-minded,
questioning study of all factors involved.
This spirit of intellectual honesty did not
exist at the presentation Thursday evening.
Rick Tarbell, 4CE
Olympics should be relocated
Editor, The Plainsman:
Is it conceivable that an international •media
event, such as the Olympics, could possibly be
separated from events in international
politics?
I think such a conception is not only
simplistic, but unrealistic.
The significance of the Soviet aggression
against Afghanistan seems to have been
overlooked or uncomprehended by some of
Auburn's Olympic hopefuls.
If find it hard to believe that the USSR
stands poised only 3000 miles from the
Straight of Hormez. This narrow waterway is
the path that a large portion of the free world's
oil must pass.
The land separating the Soviets from the
straight is virtually uninhabited Iranian land­scape.
I realize that years of individual diligence
and sacrifice are at stake for our athletes, and I
do not advocate a total abandoment of the
Games.
I believe the Games can be moved.
The president of the International Olympic
Committee said other cities could handle the
requirements for sports facilities, but no place
other than Moscow can handle housing and
feeding for 10,000 athletes.
I believe that when people are united, any
obstacle can be overcome.
We need, to steal Moscow's dreams of an
internationally televised, carefully
orchestrated propaganda show, which they
clearly want.
Our favorite sons say, "Boycotts are stupid,"
and "A boycott would accomplish absolutely
nothing." Is it possible that on occasion it is
necessary to alter individual goals to maintain
a precariously balanced world oil situation?
The Olympics are the best non-violent
method we have of really sticking the USSR
and telling them how strongly we feel.
This debate may be inconsequential by the
time the Olympics are due to start. I am just
curious about what will happen if tragedy
befalls the 50 Americans in Iran.
Will President Carter be forced into military
intervention there? Will the Soviets intervene
on behalf of Iran against any move we may
need to make?
Won't the Soviets make an effort to control
the Straight of Hormez no matter what the
political or sports world consequences may be?
I think they will. I only pray that it isn't too
late for the United States to make an effective
move, period.

Women's dorm causes problems
Editor, the Plainsman:
I live behind a female, off-campus dorm, and
I would like to express how much of a
privilege and experience it is to dwell behind a
fine establishment such as this.
It is especially invigorating when a fire drill
occurs in the dorm. The alarm report is loud
enough to wake even the heaviest of sleepers,
but add the clamor of the evacuating occupants
with the alarm, and any notions of sleeping
become unthinkable.
Why should I mind? I just have to be up at 5
a.m. to go to work.
Even though it was midnight, we at the
apartment were privileged to listen to a band
of serenaders sing to the girls at the dorm.
Why should this band of minstrels respect
the rights of the occupants of the apartment
complex? The occupants of the flat are mostly
male, and our singing visitors are not
interested in pleasing us, are they?
I am sorry if this article seems a little
cynical, but I have had ?. hard time sleeping
lately.
are becoming convinced of the dangers of
low-level radiation.
Mr. Owen made numerous other misleading
and inaccurate statements. He ludicrously
implied the industry wanted stricter standards
than the NRC requirements. ,
If this was the case, the industry could
simply formally request the NRC to raise
requirements, rather than continuing their
history of opposing more strident standards.
Dozens of public interest organizations and
millions of Americans would be amazed at his
claim that "even the most anti-nuclear oppo­nents
agree that the risk is equivalent to those
of other energy alternatives."
Several studies, including a report from the
President's Council on Environmental Quality,
indicate we can meet 25 percent of our energy
needs by the year 2000 from solar technologies
alone.
In contrast, Mr. Owen claimed even the
"most optimistic projection" of energy pro­duction
from all other sources other than oil,
gas, coal and nuclear, could only produce 20
percent of total U.S. needs.
Perhaps more important than the mislead­ing
statements are the matters Mr. Owen
chose not to discuss. Our economy is not
dependent on using more energy, especially
nuclear, for growth.
The most recent, sophisticated studies
declare we can save between 25 and 40 percent
of current energy use through conservation
methods that will not impinge upon our
lifestyles.
Nuclear energy provides less than 4 percent
of our consumed energy by comparison.
Duke Power knows firsthand how little
nuclear power is needed. They had three
nuclear power plants scheduled to "come on
line" around the end of this decade. But they
have halted construction on them because, as
Mr. Owen related after his speech, energy
demand has fallen off.
What is interesting to note is that Duke
Power services a region with an energy
growth rate in excess of five times the 1979
national average.
While real energy demands have consistent­ly
not lived up to exaggerated industry
predictions for the past six years, exorbitant,
rising costs have been another factor in
cancellations of nuclear power plants. No new
plants were licensed in 1979.
Mr. Owen could have expanded on the
capital-intensive nature of nuclear plants by
noting that two to four times more jobs per
dollar will be created by solar investment than
by nuclear investment, according to the
Congressional Office of Technology, among
other sources.
Proposals for conservation efforts incorpor­ate
materials and millions of jobs for making
factories, homes, schools, and hospitals more
energy efficient. Other jobs will be created in
engineering, architecture, law, sales, real
estate, consumer protection, and other fields.
We can save billions of dollars which will not
needlessly go to foreign oil producers, or
wastefully to our own oil and nuclear
companies.
That, however, is the major problem the
nuclear industry and Mr. Owen is concerned
about. The anti-nuclear movement promotes
alternatives to dependence on dangerous,
expensive technology.
The nuclear industry has responded in
several ways, including the public relations
campaign to sell nuclear energy he mentioned
he was part of. There have been other
responses.
For some reason, the speaker did not
mention anti-nuclear surveillance. This was
unfortunate, for consumers of electricity
should get to know what they contribute to
(like the industry's PR campaign).
Techniques used have included infiltration
and blatant intimidation of anti-nuclear groups
and leaders. Close to home, the "Atlanta
Journal" exposed a huge Georgia Power
"intelligence" operation in September, 1977.
The utility had kept extensive files on critics
beginning in 1973. The investigative depart­ment
had a budget of $750,000.
The nuclear industry has further attempted
to restrict disclosure of information on nuclear
dangers through numerous threats, actual
firings, and other types of employee harass­ment.
Such activities make a mockery out of
Owen's words that, "For a wise public decision,
we need a broad understanding of the facts and
choices."
Several other matters were not addressed in
Mr. Owen's speech, such as the cause for
ceilings on insurance claims as a result of
nuclear accidents, the extensiveness of public
subsidization of the nuclear industry, and the
waste disposal problem.
Toihave .been straightforward on the waste
issue, he would have had to admit that no
permanent solution has been designed.
This is true, despite the 25-year history of
the commercial reactor program, and the
pressing need for a solution to be developed in
the next five years.
Nor did he explain how we are going to fill
our gas tanks with nuclear power while we are
supposedly saving millions of barrels of oil
each day thanks to the atom.
The obfuscation of the energy problem by
industry spokespersons is intentional and
self-serving. An energy efficiency strategy
that will provide many more jobs and save
enormous quantities of energy and resources is
better for our economy than a reactor program
that endangers lives.
Nuclear power is not the technological fix it
is built up to be by some, because it cannot and
will not operate to alleviate our energy
problems due to the associated captial de­mands,
health and accident risks, waste
disposal and storage time requirements.
We are over-mortgaging our and our
children's futures.
Mr. Owen stated, "The pros and cons of
nuclear power will be weighed by the public in
resolving nuclear's future."
But nothing is being done by the Auburn
Chapter of the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers to promote an airing of the serious
misgivings about nuclear energy production.
A debate format, or a follow-up presentation
by a nuclear opponent was not considered by
the chapter.
It is a disservice to its own members, the
rest of the University, and the Auburn
community not to attempt to balance the views
sponsored on such a topical, controversial
subject.

Who should be next American president?
*
Jim Zwald, 2FY
Editor, the Plainsman:
After reading the commentary in the Jan. 10
Plainsman, it is apparent who should be our
next president: Buddy Davis.
He not only is an expert on our nation's
problems, but he also seems to be able to look
into the future.
Mr. Davis says that the Russians can
"easily" obtain grain from other nations now
that President Carter has imposed a grain
embargo.
The experts in Washington who are a bit
more qualified do not agree.
Mr. Davis says economic sanctions against
Iran will not hurt that country. Again, the
experts in Washington disagree.
Next, Mr. Davis says, "...America is looked
upon with scorn. Our property and our
territories and people are stolen, nationalized
and held hostage. Yet the Soviets can invade
without as much protest from the same
people."
If Mr. Davis is saying that if we were more
like the Soviets, we wouldn't have the
problems in Iran and Afghanistan that we face
today, I must agree with him.
But if we use Mr. Davis'" rationale, we
should use as an example another nation that
didn't get pushed around, such as Nazi
Germany.
Mr. Davis then goes on to criticize our
nation's economic policies, government red
tape, the B-l bomber issue and the neutron
bomb issue.
I am certainly not saying these and other
problems are not present in our great country,
but Mr. Davis seems to leave out one thing; his
choice of a president who is going to solve this
nation's problems.
There is one other thing Mr. Davis says in
his commentary. He calls the highest ranking
official in this country "stupid."
Mr. Davis or anyone else in this nation does
not have to agree with President Carter or his
policies, but to call him stupid, Mr. Davis, is to
make you something much lower.

Warning made of 'cheating wave'
Editor,The Plainsman:
Get set for a wave of cheating by Josh
McDowell's fans in the wake of his visit to
Auburn.
His religious best-seller, "Evidence That
Demands A Verdict," is a prepackaged set of
outlines and quotations for students to turn in
as their own work.
The book's preface states, "Christian
students will be able to use this material to
write papers, give speeches, and interject
their convictions about Jesus Christ and the
Scriptures in the classroom."
The use of another person's work as one's
own is plagiarism. Buying and selling term
papers and speeches is condemned every­where.
This is no less true just because the
seller claims to be a Christian.
Josh may have received good grades when
he turned in his material at the seminary, but
Auburn students should not expect to be given
academic credit for it again.
Josh, in your next best-selling edition, tell
your readers to use your material in prayer
meetings and church youth groups, but tell
them to do their own homework and try to
learn something in school.

Beginning in 1981, graduates in
Auburn's School of Education will
be required to take a competency
exam before they can receive their
leaching certificates.
Associate Dean Richard Warner
of the School of Education, said the
new test "presumingly is to be used
l as a screening device to insure
' certain knowledge among
teachers. Plans to test existing
teachers are in the process of being
developed. As of now there are no
tests for teachers I who are pre:
sently teaching."
Asked whether Auburn had plans
to alter its system of teaching in
lieu of the tests, Warner
responded, "we feel we already
have a quality program. Our
graduating students should have no
trouble passing the exam."
The competency tests has been
approved only recently by the State
Board of Education. It will be
prepared by the National Teaching
Examination Committee.
Dr. O.C. Baker, state assistant
superintendent for regulatory
services, said "the exit examina­tion
was only one of five require­ments
a graduating teacher must
make."
"The graduating teacher," "said I
Baker, "must also make at least a :•:•

an English efficiency exam, main- :£
tain a satisfactory grade point S
average, and have a satisfactory {•*

Khomeini
Iranian students feel new leader better than deposed Shah
By Jerry Marino
Plainsman Staffwriter
A group of Iranian students met
last Friday night to discuss, for the
Plainsman, their opinions on the
current situation in Iran.
The group agreed unanimously
that life in Iran is better under the
Ayatollah Khomeini than under the
Shah.
"The people are free to do
everything they want" under the
Ayatollah, said one, but as a
student in Iran under the Shah "I
was arrested by SAVAK (the
Shah's secret police) and told to get
out of the University just because I
went to a demonstration."
There was unanimous support
among the group members for the
taking of the American hostages.
Said one, "The same right that
the United States had to run my
country for 26 years permits them
to hold the hostages."
One of the students produced
photocopies of documents which he
said were official U.S. Embassy
memos confiscated during the
Embassy takeover.
One of the documents, pur­portedly
sent by Bruce Laingen,
the top diplomat at the Embassy,
to the U.S. State Department de­tailed
plans to fabricate a reason to
allow the Shah into this country on
humanitarian grounds.
The students all felt that the U.S.
diplomats in Iran were involved in
the internal affairs of Iran.
When asked about the Marines
being held hostage, most felt that
although they had no part in
political activities, they were there
to protect people who did.
"They are innocent in the sense
that they weren't involved in con­ducting
U.S. foreign policy," one
said, "but they are guilty in the
sense that they didn't know who
they were protecting."
The fact that the Shah has left the
United States and is now residing
in Panama doesn't alter the situa­tion,
the group agreed, because
Panama would return the Shah to
the United States if the government
asked them. "Panama is just a
puppet of the United States," one
said, "Nothing is changed."
The group felt that the expulsion
of American journalists from Iran
was justified, because "they didn't
tell the truth."
"There is no disunity in my
country," one said, regarding
reports of anti-Khomeini uprisings
in Iran, "the American news media
has made a small problem into a
big one."
Regarding the presence of Soviet
troops in Afghanistan and the
possibility of a Soviet attack on
Iran, most felt that the Soviet
Union would not dare to attack
their country, adding that if the
Soviets did, "we would fight until
we've shed our last drop of blood."
All agreed that the best way to
resolve the hostage situation would
be for the United States to return
the Shah to Iran.
One added that "If the United
Nations would show some tendency
toward setting up an international
tribunal (to study the alleged
crimes of the Shah), that would be
a step toward resolution of the
situation."

Although the crisis in Iran has
stimulated interest in U.S. military
strenth, enrollment for ROTC
programs at Auburn University
has remained about the same,
according to local ROTC officials.
Navy ROTC Lt. Cmdr. Fred
Moore said that more people have
come by to talk about training
programs this quarter than in
years past. Interest is on the
increase but Moore added he was
"not totally sure that the increase
was in direct relationship with the
current Iranian situation or
problems in Afghanistan.
"Enrollment has been stable,
however, one unusual fact is that
this winter we did not have anyone
drop out of our program who was
previously in training, " Moore
said.
Moore also added the Navy
program would maintain the same
curriculum but "certain allusions
to current world situations will be
used to demonstrate the possible
uses of naval power should mili­tary
action be employed.
Air Force ROTC Capt. Wlliam M.
McCrary reported enrollment had
slightly increased and now stands
as the largest Winter quarter
enrollment in five years.
"I don't think the world situation
concerning military powers has
contributed to the increase but
rather the quality of our program,''
said McCrary.
...Ail profs get Iranian message
By Kim Kennamer
Plainsman Staffwrtier
Christmas greetings to the
American hostages in Iran were
commonplace this past holiday
season, out several Auburn Univer-si\>
history and political science
professors received a Christmas
message from the Ayatollah
Khomeini.
The letter was dated Dec. 24, and
signed by the Moslem Students
Association in the U.S. and Canada.
i\o official group on Auburn's
campus is registered by that name,
said Evelyn Jordan, foreign
student adviser.
The letter was addressed to the
Christian world and quoted several
passages from the Holy Quran, the
Moslems' religious book.
The letter called for the
American people, particularly the
priests and clergy, to support the
oppressed rather than the oppres­sors
of the world. It called
President Jimmy Carter the
"vanguard of the oppressed."
It warned Christians, "Do not be
deceived by the presence of the
super powers and the churches or
by their prayers for spies and
traitors."
Concerning the hostages, it said,
"be sure our youth will treat the
hostages righteously because
Islam orders us to have mercy on
captives, even be they tyrants and
spies."
lt called for the return of the
Shah to Iran saying "only he has
the key to release the spy
Hostages."
Dr. Gordon C. Bond of the history
department found a copy of the
letter on his office floor the day
classes started. It had been slipped
under the door of his office. Similar
types of handouts were circulated
Fall quarter, he said.

McCrary added that, like the
Navy's program, Air Force ROTC
will maintain it's basic curriculum
with additional emphasis being
given to Iran and Afghanistan in
advanced seminar classes.
Army Capt. John S. Warren
claims that his enrollment has not
increased because people today do
not have a great fear of being
drafted.
"During the Vietnam days
enrollment increased because
those in ROTC were not
immediately subject to the draft,"
Warren said.
The Iran and Afghanistan
problems have, according to
Warren, only increased interest in
military status. "It is making
people aware that we need to
maintain a certain military
posture equal to that of the
Soviets," he said.

Tenth ranked wrestlers
edge Kentucky, 17-16
TIGERS DEFEAT KENTUCKY 17-16
.Mike Elinsky (top) began the comeback defeating Ricky Rindfuss, 11-6
By Ed Moore
Sports Editor
Auburn's wrestling team beat its
second Top 10 opponent in two
weeks with a come from behind
17-16 win over then 10th ranked
Kentucky Sunday at the Memorial
Coliseum. Auburn moved from 15th
to 10th in this week's poll.
The Tigers fell behind early in
the match, then dominated the four
heaviest weight classes to win;
much the same as the Auburn win
against then third ranked Okla­homa
last week 23-20.
Auburn was down 14-6 to Ken­tucky
before fighting back.
"I knew it was going down to the
wire," Head Coach Tom Milkovich
said. "The last three years we've
wrestled Kentucky it has always
come down to the heavyweight." Swimmers drown Tide, 71-42
by Barry Webne
Sports Editor
Auburn University's swim team
beat Southeastern Conference rival
Alabama last Saturday 71-42 in the
Memorial Coliseum Pool.
DREW BURGERING
...won two events Saturday
The meet began with an
immediate Auburn victory in the
400-yard medley relay. Auburn
swimmers David Marsh, David
Messer, Steve Smith and Rowdy
Gaines swam the event in a time of
3:26.97. Alabama's team finished
in a time of 3:26.54.
Head Auburn swim Coach
Richard Quick said, "I was real
pleased with the times in the
relays. David Marsh swam well in
the medley relay at backstroke,
and we had a fine anchor leg from
Rowdy Gaines."
Gaines swam in the meet
Saturday with a slightly pulled
shoulder muscle.
In the 1000-yard freestyle event,
Auburn's Rick Morley placed
second behind Alabama's Arne
Borgstrom. Morley had a time of
9:10.77, while the winning time was
9:09.95.
According to Quick, Morley
swam his best time ever in the
event, even though he was second.
Auburn's Bill Forrester took the
next event. The senior Olympic
hopeful, won the 200-yard freestyle
event in a time of 1:39.98. Gaines
was second in 1:40.63.
"I think we saw some strategy in
this event," said Quick. "Forrester
got a good start and burned the
field, while Gaines took it easy and
was second."
Another Auburn senior, John
Fields, won the 50-yard freestyle
event, while Dave Hart, also from
Auburn was second. Fields finished
in a time 21.42, while Hart had the
same time.
The big surprise in this event was
the fourth place finish of Auburn's
Dave McCagg, who was favored in
the race.
According to Quick, "McCagg
made a tactive error on the turn
and came away from the wall too
shallow. The wake from the turn
caught him and he was slowed."
In the 200-yard medley,
Alabama's Borgstrom was the
winner, while Mike Upham was
second for Auburn in 1:56.08.
Forrester was first again, but
this time in the 200-yard butterfly
with a time of 1:49.34. According to
Quick, Forrester had an outstand­ing
performance in the event.
Also placing in the butterfly •
event was Auburn swimmer Steve
Smith, third at 1:53.77.
McCagg came back after his
performance in the 50-yard free­style
and stroked to a victory in the
100-yard freestyle with a time of
46.71. Auburn's Hart was second in
the event in 17.14.
In the 200-yard backstroke event,
the Auburn swimmers placed
second and third. Marsh was
second in 1:56.39, while sophomore
Steve Wood placed third with a
time of 1:59.51.
Alabama's Borgstrom seemed to
be winning one race after another
as the Tide swimmer won the
500-yard freestyle event. Auburn's
Morley was second in the race in
4:32.22 while Gaines was third in
4:32.83.
The final individual event of the
day saw Auburn's Dave Messer
finish second in the 200-yard
breastroke with a time of 2:11.11.
The swimmers finished the after­noon
with a victory in the 400-yard
freestyle relay. Swimmers Hart,
Forrester, Fields and McCagg all
swam legs for the winning team
that finished in 3:05.72. Alabama
had a time of 3:07.69.
Auburn's diving squad also saw
action against Alabama on
Saturday. Auburn's Drew
Burgering chalked up victorious on
both the 1- and 3-meter boards.
Randy Sanderson, also of Auburn,
showed a fine performance against
Alabama.
Finishing second behind
Burgering on both boards was
Alabama's Wayne Chester,
1-meter NCAA Champion for 1978.
"Burgering dove well," said
Quick. "I was ecstatic about his
performances on both boards."
The Tigers take on LSU Friday
at 2 p.m. at the Coliseum Pool.
They also have a meet with Tulane
on Saturday at Auburn at 2 p.m.
Quick said the LSU team had
several strong swimmers which
included Ricky Meador, and NCAA
All-American breaststroker.
"LSU has a stronger team than
last year, but I don't think they can
match up with us depthwise."
Quick added, "It should give
some of our swimmers the chance
to swim some different events."
According to the Auburn coach,
Tulane is weaker than LSU, and
they are rebuilding their
• swimming program this year. ••
Auburn heavyweight Chris
Gardner and Kentucky's Harold
Smith battled to a 3-3 draw to
preserve Auburn's one point lead
and the win.
Gardner, ranked fourth national­ly
and Smith, ranked second were
locked at 0-0 after one period.
Smith used a reversal to take a 2-0
lead at the end of two periods. In
the third Gardner picked up a point
on a Smith stall, then a one point
escape and scored his third point
on another stall just before the end
of the period. Smith had 1:38 riding
time for another point and the tie.
"Both wrestlers are tough,"
Milkovich said. Smith just pushes
and pushes and pushes. Harold's a
strong wrestler, but Gardner's
smarter. He makes it exciting."
Tony Leonino began the match
with an Auburn win at 118 pounds.
Leonino defeated Reggie Burke
12-7. The match was at 8-7 late In
the third period, then Leonino used
a takedown and a two-point near-fall
to clinch the victory.

for a superior decision and five
team points.
Curtis Longstreet decisioned

134 pounds. The match was 0-0
after one period and 1-0 on a
Ciccarello escape after two
periods. Longstreet took a 3-1 lead
on an escape and takedown, but
Ciccarello came back to 3-3.
Longstreet used two more take­downs
to finish his scoring.
Tim Welch lost a tough one to
Earl Rayf ord of Kentucky 2-0 at 142
pounds. The score was 0-0 at the
end of two periods. Rayford scored
on an escape and had 2:55 riding
time for his two points and an 11-3

pounds. Elinsky was down 5-3, but
scored a takedown and a two-point
nearfall to take a 7-6 lead at the end
of the second period. The match
finished tied 7-7, but Elinsky had
1:53 riding time for the one point
win.
With Kentucky leading 11-6 Fred

Auburn 5-3 at 158 pounds to now
lead 14-6. \
It was all Auburn after that.
- Jamie Milkovich decisioned
Lane Young at 167 pounds, 6-2.
After a 0-0 first period, Milkovich
used two takedowns, an escape and
riding time to win.
Eli Blazeff brought the crowd to
life at 177 pounds with a 10-6 victory
over Bob McDaniel. Blazeff jump-out

reversal, then followed \ with
another at the beginning of the
third period. McDaniel scored

more points on a nearfall.
That closed the score to 14-12.

pounds over Derrick Campbell.
Elinsky dominated the match and
had a 5-0 lead in the second period.
Campbell fought back to 5-3, but
Elinsky scored a takedown to pull

Runners win MTSU quad meet
By Ed Moore
Sports Editor
Coach Mel Rosen's track team
traveled to a quad meet at Middle
Tennessee State University last
weekend, and did what was ex­pected—
won.
Auburn scored 58.5 points, Clem­son
52, MTSU 42.5 and Furman 10.
"It looks like we have a lot of
depth on the team," Rosen said.
"We are real pleased with our
freshmen. Mike Benjamin, Larry
Brooks, Greg Herzog and Stanley
Floyd, who was in New York, give
us a solid freshman group."
Frank Chambless won the pole
vault setting a new Auburn record
with a vault of 15' 2".
Frank Warren followed that with
a shot put of 60' 2", qualifying him
for the NCAA championships. The
meet was only Warren's second.
' 'He's coming along a little faster
than we thought he would. He will
fill the gap that Rob Will left,"
Rosen said.
John Tuttle set a new Auburn
record in the mile, but finished
second. Tuttle ran a 4:04.6 mile,
breaking the record of 4:05.
"Tuttle ran an exceptional
race," Rosen said. "He took the
lead all the way and he was
running for time." *
Mike Benjamin won the 60-yard
high hurdles in 7.5, finishing ahead
of teammate Eugene Miller, who
ran a 7.53.
Joe Toles won the 880-yard run in
1:52.3, missing the NCAA qualify­ing
time by .02. Bob Hicks finished
third.
Larry Brooks and Brian Burns
finished first and second in the
600-yard run. Brooks finished in
1:12.1 and Burns in 1:12.3.
Theodis Abston won the 1,000 in
2:10.4, again .02 off the NCAA
qualifying time. Greg Herzog
finished third.
"I was real pleased with the
whole performance," Rosen said.
"Everybody was better than they
were at East Tennessee (last
week). We're starting to gel as a
team.
"We're disappointed we left
Manny Topplns. He has a worse
pulled muscle than I thought. He
could be out two or three more
weeks. We need his points in the
long and triple jump."

events-the long jump, 440 and mile
relay. TheTigers did not run in the
mile relay.
Also scoring for Auburn were
Mark Tate, third in the triple

Perfect record
Cagers beat Georgia to remain undefeated at home
page 11 Thursday, January 24,1980 The Auburn Plainsman
By Becky Hopf
Assistant Sports Editor
Auburn kept its undefeated, five-game
home winning streak alive
Saturday night with a 58-53 win
over Georgia in Memorial
Coliseum. The win marked
Auburn's 10th straight victory over
Georgia, the last being Auburn's
95-91 four-overtime win in last
year's SEC Tournament.
"I'm a little excited," said
Auburn head basketball Coach
Sonny Smith after the game. "I
wanted that game very badly. I
will say that quick starts and
running early in the game were big
factors. Our free throw shooting
down the stretch was also a big
factor.."
The spark behind Auburn's free
throw charge down the stretch was
junior guard Eric Stringer who
went four for four at the line in the
last two minutes of the game.
Stringer's first set in the stretch
came with 1:58 left in the game
when he connected on two to up the
Tigers lead to 56-51, and the second
set came with 1:21 remaining to
end Auburn's scoring at 58-51. The
6-foot-l guard ended the night with
five of six free throw connec­tions
and six assists.
REBOUNDING IMPROVED AGAINST GEORGIA

Ladies win tourney
By Lisa Schreiber
Plainsman Sportswriter
Last weekend the Lady Tigers
basketball team won first place in
the University of Connecticut Invi­tational
Basketball Tournament in
Connecticut. This was the first
tournament since the AAIAW State
Championship in 1974 that the Lady
Tigers have won.
Auburn got to the finals in an
overtime game against the Uni­versity
of Connecticut. Angie
Hannah sank a foul shot with three
seconds remaining in the overtime
period. Auburn was led in scoring
by Lori Hackman with 23 points
and Lori Monroe led the game with
16 rebounds. The final score was
76-75.
In the championship game
Auburn played Temple University
of Philadelphia. At the half Auburn
had an 11 point lead with a
score of 41-30.
With a minute left of playing
time, Temple was only four points
from a tie score, but Lori Monroe
sank a free shot and Marty Monk
sank a basket to win the game with
a final score of 69-62.
Angie Hannah and Marty Monk
made the All-Tournament team
and Hannah was also named Most
Valuable Player.
Lori Hackman scored 34 points in
the two-day tournament with 18
rebounds while Lori Monroe scored
21 points and was the tournament
leader with 32 rebounds.
Auburn's Coach Ciampi said the
Lady Tigers played both games
with confidence and aggression.
According to the most recent
statistics released by the Region,
Auburn is fifth in field goal per­centage,
eighth in team rebound­ing,
fourth in team steals and
seventh in team assists.
Auburn and Miami are tied for
fifth place with a 45.3 percent from
the field; Auburn has been averag­ing
14.6 assists per game; 44.7
rebounds per game and 13.3 steals
per contest through last week's
game.
Auburn's record is 9-5 so far this
season. The Lady Tigers will travel
to Mobile this Friday for a game
against South Alabama. Auburn
has previously beaten them in a
game this season by a score of
80-65.

Bubba Price was the Tiger's
leading scorer with 18 points.'
"I thought a key factor down the
stretch was the play of Bubba
Price," said Smith. Price scored 10
of his points in the second half, and
with 6:15 left in the game con­verted
a one-on-one situation to
give the Tigers a 50-47 lead. The
6-fool-3 senior then hit a long
baseline jumper with 4:33 left to
make the score 52-47 and ended his
scoring with two free throws with
3:47 remaining to put the score at
54-49.
Although the game was tied
twice, Auburn never trailed in the
first half. Auburn's biggest first
half lead was 13 points at 24-11 on a
tip by senior forward Rich
Valavicius with 8:19 remaining in
the half. The Bulldogs held the
Tigers scoreless for the next five
minutes until Earl Banks hit a
jumper from the lane with 3:07 left
to push Auburn ahead 26-24.
Eric Marbury, the Bulldogs lead­ing
scorer with 17 points, poured in
nine points during Auburn's five
minute scoreless span. Freshman
Lamar Heard tied the game at
24-24 with 3:46 remaining in the
half with two free throws. s
The game was tied three times in
the second half, five times in the
game. Georgia's first lead came
with 17:37 remaining on a field goal
by Marbury at 33-32. Auburn's
biggest lead of the half was seven,
points at 58-51 with 1:21 remaining. \
Georgia's biggest lead was two
points, twice in the second half, at
37-35 and 39-37.
Auburn, now 8-7 overall and 4-4 in
the SEC, hit 46 percent (23-50) on
field goals and 80 percent on free
throws in the game (12-15).
Georgia, 11-4 overall and 4-4 in the
SEC, hit only 35 percent of field
goals (19-55^ and 88 percent of free
throws (15-17). Auburn did not
attempt a free throw in the first
half.
Bobby Cattage saw limited
action for the Tigers, coming off a
knee injury that has sidelined him
from playing time since
December. Georgia played also
without the helD of Dominiaue
Wilkins, a 6-foot-7 freshman for­ward
who was averaging 19 points
and seven rebounds a game.
"I think Bobby is disappointed
because he's not getting enough
playing time," said Smith. "But
you're going to find this with
someone like Bobby who is a good
competitive athlete. Losing a
player the magnitude of Cattage or
the magnitude of Wilkins has got to
hurt a team."
But as Smith had said earlier in
the week, "What happens will
depend on how a team will react
when they lose a great player.
They couldn't be any worse off than
we are. We've lost three players at
one time or another to injuries."

Lead the Way as
Mac Arthur Returns
to Philippines
October 30, 1944 -
Leyte Gulf, Philippines
Gen. Douglas MacArthur stood proud
and erect on the bridge of the light
cruiser NASHVILLE last week as she
sailed into the green waters of Leyte
Gulf. He had returned, keeping the
promise made in March of 1942. Bomber-size
P-61's from Northrop, radar-guided
fighter aircraft with a 66-foot wing span,
guarded the skies for his safe voyage.
First American fighter designed specif­ically
for night interception, the twin-engine
P-61's reached the Pacific combat
zone earlier this year. Designed by Jack
Northrop, the giant "Black Widow" is
being produced in 13 different models
at the company's Hawthorne plant, one
of the first in the industry to be auto­mated.
"Our first large-scale produc­tion
order is on schedule," says Northrop,
"Our P-61 aircraft is in combat service
in both the Pacific and European theatres."

AU women's swim team
beats Alabama, 70-68
By Dave Bean
Plainsman Sportswriter
Auburn women's swim team
beat Alabama last Friday night at
the Memorial Coliseum Pool, 70-68.
The outstanding effort by the
Tigers included four school records
and three national qualifying
times.
The victory was the first for
Auburn this season and the first
time they have beaten their rival,
Alabama, since the two teams first
met three years ago.
The meet started out on a good
note for Auburn. The Tiger 200-
yard medley relay team of Shawn
Corrigan-Asmuth, Mary Holmes,
Johanna Malloy, and Keely
Beasecker set another national
qualifying time, but this time broke
the school record as well. The time
of 1:49.17 breaks the record set
last season at the AIAW finals.
Two standouts for the Auburn
swimmers were captain Asmuth
and freshman Mary Tipton from
Houston, Texas. Asmuth took three
first place finishes at the meet. Her
first win of the night came in the
200-yard individual medley with a
time of 2:10.03. Her second oc­curred
in the 50-yard backstroke in
which Asmuth set a national
qualifying time of : 27.88. In the 100
yard backstroke, the third win, she
led a first and second place Auburn
sweep with sophomore Donna
Thaxton coming in second.
Mary Tipton came in second in
the 500-yard freestyle, yet set a
new school record with a time of
4:58.39. Tipton's first win of the
night happened during the 100-yard
butterfly event when she finished
with a time of : 58.82. In the
200-yard freestyle, Tipton led
a one, two, three Auburn finish,
with a new school record and
another national qualifying time of
1:51.82.
Mary Holmes and Johanna
Malloy were two other freshmen
standouts for Auburn.
Johanna Malloy of Thunder Bay,
Ontario finished a close third in the
50-yard freestyle, but broke the old
school record in the 50-yard butter­fly
with a first place finishing time
of: 26.46.
Mary Holmes finished the
50-yard breaststro
