Valentine's Day is the one national holiday created to acknowledge the
love between couples, families and friends with a card, a gift or maybe
just a special gesture. With today's variety of gifts to choose from, the
traditional rose may take aback seat. YukariCugowski, 1RSE, looks like
she already knows what special gift she wants from her boyfriend,
Michael Fender, 2CPE. But whether the gift is big or small, the message
"I love you" means the same.
University cuts hours for student employees
By John Mangels
News Editor
Details of Gov. Fob James' budget
proposal for 1981-82 spending in
.higher education reveal he has
recommended a 2.6 percent cut in
state funding for Auburn Univer­sity,
it was announced Tuesday.
Though the governor's final
spending plan has not been formally
submitted tothe Legislature and last
minute changes are possible, details
of the gubernatorial budget pro­posal
have been given to House and
Senate members to inform them of
the state administration's plans.
James recommended the Auburn
system (including AUM) receive
$61.9 million, a reduction of 2.6
percent or $1.6 million from what the
University was appropriated in
fiscal year 1980-81. The figures
contained in the proposal are based
on 7 percent proration because of tax
revenue shortfall in the state Special
Education Trust Fund. State fi­nance
director Sid McDonald
announced recently that additional
proration would reach 10 percent,
but the governor's budget proposal
used the 7 percent figure for
comparison.
McDonald said last week no state
university' 'will receive more than it
got this year after 7 percent
proration" in James' budget.
Auburn's main campus this year
received an initial state appropria­tion
of $43.1 million, a figure that was
reduced to $40 million by seven
percent proration and cut further to
approximately $39 million by 10
percent proration. James' recom­mendation
for the 1981-82 main
campus allocation is slightly above
$39 million.
Auburn University had requested
in December atotal state appropria­tion
of $60.2 million, but was told two
veeks ago by the Legislature's
mdget committee to rework
pending plans and submit a budget
which reflected no funding increase
from the state. The Alabama Com­mission
on Higher Education had
requested an allocation of $58.9
million for the Auburn system next
year.
Executive Vice President Grady
Cox said the reduction contained in
James' proposal, in conjunction
with proration, represented an "ex­treme
reduction" for the Univer­sity
. Cox said it' 'would be difficult to
maintain quality programs'' if such
an allocation were approved by the
Legislature. Both the House and
Senate must prepare their own
version of a state spending plan.
James recommended a total cut in
the 1981-82 higher education budget
of $24 million, with almost half of
that cut coming from the University
of Alabama system. The governor
proposed a 9 percent or $11 million
cut in funding for the system's three
campuses, with the major reduction
contained in a $5.7 million cut in
medical education program alloca­tions.
He proposed merging UA's
Huntsville and Tuscaloosa medical
school programs with the Univer­sity's
Birmingham center.

Students who depend on student
employment to finance part of their
education here have experienced a
gradual loss of hours this quarter, a
situation that, oddly enough, stems
from raises that the students got
earlier this quarter, according to
Janet Richardson, a student em­ployment
specialist at Auburn.
Earlier in the quarter, .the Auburn
board of trustees voted to raise the
student employees' base wage from
$2.85 to $3.45 per hour, a move that
was designed to keep student work­ers
on a pay scale compatible to that
of Auburn students on College Work
Study, a branch of the Financial Aid
department.
The difference between student
employment and College Work.
Study is that Work Study is a"
program administered by the Fi­nancial
Aid department and
through which 80 percent of Work
Study students wages are paid by
the federal government. The a-mount

Senate asks board to hike tuition
By Karen Hartley
Assistant News Editor
A resolution urging the board of
trustees to raise tuition of both in and
outof state students was passed by a
voice vote of the faculty senate
Tuesday.
The resolution requested that the
board of trustees pass a tuition hike,
to be put into effect no later than fall
quarter 1981, to compensate for the
loss of state funding support to the
University.
Two previous attempts have been
made in the past two months
requesting the board of trustees to
raise student fees to ease the
financial situation of the University.
Neither have been approved by the
board.
Keith McPheeters, dean of the
School of Architecture and Fine
Arts, supported the resolution,
saying, "I see this as a dramatic
gesture to get somebody's at­tention."
Communications jobs open
Applications and a list of qualifi­cations
are now available in the
Office of the Dean of Students in
Cater Hall for all campus communi­cation
positions. Applications must
be submitted by Monday, Feb. 23 at
12 noon. For students seeking
elected communication positions it
will be necessary to also qualify with
the SGA which will hold the general
election on April 9.
The Board of Student Communi­cations
will meet on Thursday,
Feb, 26 to approve the candidates for
the editor of The Glomerata and the
editor of The Plainsman. The
Communications Board will meet
again on March 12 to appoint the
student manager of WEGL, the
editor of the "Circle," the business
manager of The Plainsman and the
business manager of The Glom
erata.
In opposition to the resolution, one
senate member said the state should
support public education. By in­creasing
fees for students, he said,
poor students eventually couldn't
come to Auburn. "We're working
against ourselves in recruiting
minority students," he said.
He added that the tuition increase
would be taking the responsibility of
higher education off the state's
hands.
Also passed by a roll call vote of 35
to 5 was a resolution expressing the
senate's concern for the recent
contract granted to Robert Lowder
for television and radio broadcast
rights for Auburn University foot­ball
and basketball events. No.
competitive bids were taken. *f
Gordon Bond, who drafted the
resolution, said the action taken by
the Search Committee in order to be
able to offer a television package to
prospective coaches "brought to
question the good name of Auburn
University."'

of need as demonstrated By a
standard Family Financial State­ment
(FFS) that the student must
file annually.

meet cutbacks, page AS.
If the student demonstrates suf­ficient
need on this form, the
government awards him an amount
of money which he can earn
throughout the year by working at a
University-related job.
On the other hand, regular student
employees (non-Work study) must
be paid strictly out of the depart­mental
budgets, according to
Richardson.
While paying Work Study students
minimum wage is required by law,
the University is not required to pay
other student employees the mini­mum.
"The raise was strictly the
decision of the University," Rich­ardson
said.
' "The side effectof the raise seems
to be the gradual loss of hours of
student employees as the depart­ments
make adjustments as to how
they are going to pay all their
student employees," said Richard­son.
"Departments are not given
extra funds to offset these wage
increases."
Although Richardson said she
didn't know of any students who
*have been completely terminated
from their jobs, she did say that
"many students have come in
asking for more hours or a second

Social Life Committee
turns back alcohol bill
By Lynn Brown
Plainsman Staffwriter
A resolution which would have
allowed alcohol in on-campus dorms
was defeated by the Social Life
Committee in an open meeting
Tuesday afternoon.
No roll call vote was made by the
ex-officio members of the com'
mittee headed by Dean of Students
Dr. Harold Grant, although SGA
President Trey Ireland said the
decision "was not close."
The defeated proposal stated the
committee would endorse or sup­port
the social rules (or any revision
of the recommendation) to allow
alcohol in on-campus dorms, with its
implementations to be worked out
later.
The proposal as it stands now is
dead.
The decision made by the Social
Life Committee contrasts with the
18-7decisionrecommending alcohol
in on-campus dorms made by
the SGA Senate Jan. 19.
Grant said he' 'felt the committee
acted in a very responsible man­ner."
He said the committee took the
proposal made by two students and
formed a sub-committee to ask for
responses from students on the
subject. He added that "the com­mittee
made no foot-dragging and
was proud that they went ahead and
made the decision."

Battle for more funding a nine-month trial for university officiate
Editor's note: The following is the first in a series of
three reports by The Plainsman on the nuts and bolts
of Auburn University—its budget as appropriated by
the Legislature. Part one deals with the process by
which Auburn lobbies for and finally receives a
budget. Parts two and three, to cover the financial
history of the university and the prospects for this
year'sbudget,willappearinthe following two weeks.
By Steve Farish
Managing Editor
Auburn lobbyist Dan Holsenbeck has to fight every
inch of the way, but he still considers the process
which the University goes through to get its budget
every year to be "a marvel of the democratic
process," and he speaks with a certain obvious
enthusiasm about his job.
That job begins, according to Holsenbeck, about
the time students return for fall quarter, often more
than a year before the budget goes into effect the
following Oct. 1.
At that time, he says, the administrative staff in
Samford Hall begins preparing a budget for the
University based on the formula of the Alabama
Commission on Higher Education, a budget that Is
subsequently approved by the board of trustees.
The sometimes controversial formula, which
ACHE defends as "the best choice from a group of
imperfect alternatives,"is divided for universities
into six parts: direct instruction and departmental
operatingexpenses,academicsupport,researchand
public service, library support, student services and
general institutional support and adjustment for
tuition and fee receipts.
By far the largest portion of the formula, expenses
for direct instruction and departmental operations,
is based on the much-discussed "weighted credit
hour" component. The component is based on one
Auburn
Budget
\sJ "~"~~N

Parti
adopted five years ago from Texas, and it allows for
differences in costs in carrying out different
University programs.
"It is more expensive, for example, to offer a
graduate course in physics than to offer a freshman
English course," an ACHE manual says.' "The table
Oi wxMfhting factors. . . recognizes these dif­ferences."
Auburn's administration received some criticism
for preparing the budget according to the ' 'weighted
credit hour" formula, because some faculty said the
administration would also allocate according to the
formula with its departmental budget, meaning that
some departments might receive considerably less
than before.
President Hanly Funderburk pledged, however,
that the formula would not be used in preparing
internal budgets.
According to ACHE calculations, Auburn pro­duced
985,103 weighted semester credit hours in
1978-79. Both ACHE and the University make
projections for hours for the upcoming year, and the
result is multiplied by $45.86 a figure based on a very
elaborate computation that ACHE allows the
University per weighted credit hour.
After the first five categories are given fixed values
by the ACHE formula, revenue from tuition and fees
is subtracted, leaving a figure of recommendation to
the legislature for ACHE.
Because Auburn has followed the ACHE formula
closely, Holsenbeck says, the University's re­commendation
for its budget and ACHE's recom­mendation
have been quite similar. For the 1981-82
budget, for example, Auburn's recommendation for
a21.l percent increase in funding or $52,213,741 while
ACHE recommendedonly slightly less at $51,034,000,
he pointed out.
University officials and often the president alone
present Auburn's request before ACHE in Decem­ber,
Holsenbeck said. From those hearings, both
recommendations go to the governor's staff for an
additional going over.
"Theoretically," Holsenbeck said, "the gov­ernor's
office would take this data and mold it
together. In reality, though, the governor's office is
usually working on figures of its own."
The governor's office goes over those figures, and
then must by law submit all its budget proposals by
the fifth legislative day of a session, Holsenbeck said.
The fifth day this year is next Tuesday, he said.
The governor's office has announced that pre­liminary
studies indicate universities' budgets will
be only slightly higher than last year's even with 10
percent proration this year. That means the
University will receive an initial appropriation of
almost 10 percent less than last year's.
From the governor's office, a bill concerning
higher education funding goes to the House Ways and
Means Committee, Holsenbeck said. Even before
that committee meets in formal session, though, it
will have already held preliminary sessions with the
Senate Finance and Taxation Committee, hearing
arguments from University officials, he said.
When the realhearings begin, usually in March, the
committee often asks for technical information,
Holsenbeck said. These demands often msikaiUnie

Gubernatorial press secretary
Chris Bence said Tuesday the
federal court's approval of a request
by Gov. Fob. James to delay a
hearing on a class-action suit calling
for the merger of three Montgomery
universities would allow the state to
deal with two education problems at
one time.
The governor had also requested a
delay in filing a response to a
Department of Education report
charging the state with retaining a
dually racial higher education
system.
Bence said the two delays would
be "in the best interests of the state''
since it would allow the state time to
formulate a total plan instead of
"dragging the issues through the
courts piecemeal." Neither the
federal court nor the DOE have
answered James as of yet, Bence
said.
The suit, filed four weeks ago by
representatives of Alabama State
University faculty, students and
alumni, states that the merger of
Alabama State University, Auburn
University in Montgomery and Troy
State University in Montgomery is
the' 'only feasible remedy" to break
up a "dually racial system that
promotes segregation."
James and the Auburn board of
trustees are two of the defendants
named in the suit.
Auburn University legal counsel
Thomas D. Sanford, who submitted
Auburn's response to the suit last
week, said the federal court hearing
had^een set for March $4, but he
refused to comment on the pro­ceeding.
Bence said he feels the state
should be able to file its statewide
desegregation plan to the .DOE
before the federal district court
hears the ASU merger suit.
"We want to solve this admini­stratively,"
Bence said. "We feel
that would be more suitable than a
judicial answer."
The DOE sent its report to the
governor Jan. 7 and specified that a
plan to fully desegregate the Ala­bama
system of higher education be
submitted in 60 days, the deadline
being March 7. Bence says it will
take longer than the allocated 60
days to draft such a plan.
"We feel hopeful we'll receive the
extension" from the DOE, Bence
said. He added that he knew nothing
of the details of the plan.

Administrators meet to discuss budget cuts
By Peggy Wilhide and
John Mangels %
Plainsman Staff writers
Top administrative officials and
deansof Auburn's academic schools
met on Monday in a' 'brainstorming
session" to determine what, if any,
budget cuts could be made to offset
the effects of an additional 3 percent
proration of the University's
budget.
The proration of state funds from 7
to 10 percent, announced on Feb. 5,
cut $1.2 million from Auburn's
instructional budget.
Dr. Grady Cox, executive vice
president and chairman of the
administrative council, said several
ideas were "kicked around" to help
decrease the effects of the addi­tional
proration.
"However, there is no truth to the
rumor that there will be no summer
school,'' said Cox, "We are planning
essentially the same type of
summer quarter as last year."
Cox asked academic deans to
"tighten the belt tighter than ever,''
but feels the additional proration
will not cause the University to take
any drastic measures, such as
abolishing summer school.
"We will continue as we have to
preserve every dollar we can re­serve,"
said Cox. A reserve fund,
along with a slight increase in
enrollment, will take the sting out of
the additional 3 percent prorated
from the budget.
Dr. Taylor Littleton, vice presi­dent
for academic affairs, said a
cutback of 1 to 1% percent was
recommended as a guideline for
schools to follow when reexamining
the budgets.
"Some of the schools might have
to cutback on summer school a little
bit," said Littleton, "but we will be
able to take care of the graduating
seniors."
Littleton suggested the possibi­lities
of fusing classes and not
offering as many multi-section
classes in the summer. "Otherwise
we will be in business as usual," he
said.
Dean Ben F. Cooper of the School
of Pharmacy said the pharmacy
summer program will probably not
be affected by the cuts, but the
budget woes for some other schools
are so serious the only option is to cut
back on the summer program.
"We haven't decided where the
pharmacy cuts will be made yet,"
said Cooper. "We are looking more
at maintenance rather than per­sonnel
cuts."
Cooper feels his school will be able
to meet the additional budget cuts,
but it will affect the quality of the
school. "We're not going to be able to
do some things that should be done,''
he said. "We can delay and substi­tute
temporarily, but in the long run
we won't be able to maintain
quality," said Cooper. "There is
hope this will not continue."
Dr. Caine Campbell, assistant
dean of Arts and Sciences, said
certain savings which have been
accrued during the year will be used
to meet the budget cuts in that
school.

McMillan: 'Expect level funding'
By John Mangels
News Editor
Though Gov. Fob James has
indicated to the state Legislature he
will recommend a cut of $24 million
in state funding for higher edu­cation,
Lt. Gov. George McMillan
said Saturday it would be "pre­mature
to say whether one segment
of education (primary /secondary)
were being favored over the other
(higher)" by the allocations.
"All levels of education are
inextricably intertwined,''
McMillan said, and "it would be
Irresponsible to pit one segment
against the other."
The former Auburn SGA presi­dent
said it was also "highly
irresponsible to take money from
public education for other areas."
McMillan said James had indicated
SGA candidates

A candidates meeting will be hald

School vice president and senator

candidacy. Deadline for entering is

Intent can be picked up in the SGA
office in Foy Union.
he favored using the proposed $24
million in education cutbacks to
fund state prisons, but when asked if
the transfer would be "irrespon­sible,"
the lieutenant governor said
he would "rather let people draw
their own conclusions."
As lieutenant governor, McMillan
also serves as president of the
Senate. He said it would be "hard to
say" whether that legislative body
would approve the governor's pro­posed
budget as it stands.' 'The best
anyone can expect is level funding,''
McMillan said.
McMillan said Auburn Sen. Ted
Little's proposed bill outlining an
improved method of forecasting the
tax revenues which fund education
in Alabama was "an excellent
idea." He said a second phase of
Little's bill calling for the budgeting
of only 95 percent of the education
allocation, leaving 5 percent to form
a reserve fund, was "too restric­tive."
"The 95 percent figure is
much too low; we need to budget
about 98 percent,'' McMillian said.
McMillan was in Auburn to ad­dress
a group of high school leaders
from three states. He told them he
admired the qualities of candor and
the willingness to take an unfamiliar
stand. "One of the biggest problems
in the United States is the amount of
people engaged in exaggerated
rhetoric," he said.
"We're told we have serious
financial problems in the state and
that we have many choices of how to
solve them—well, we really have
only two," he said. "We can
reconcile ourselves to a reduction of
state services, and if that's what
people want, then I'm all for it. Or
we've got to admit that we need a
more realistic tax structure."
McMillan advised the students
that in order to produce better
leadership, people must "quit
putting down everyone who holds
public office and quit putting down
government as an institution."
"The Alabama Legislature has
made progress in the last year in
correcting deficiencies," McMillan
said, "but there are still changes
that will require a massive effort."
and Veterinary Medicine said a 1 to
1% percent cutback can be met
without seriously cutting any
programs for the summer.
"Right now we are planning on
going ahead with our summer
school program without any signifi­cant
cutbacks,'' said Wilson. He said
several graduate teaching assis-tantships
would be left vacant for
the summer.
Dr. Chester Carroll, head of the
School of Engineering, plans to keep
"as high quality of instruction as
possible in the classroom." An
increase in enrollment has caused
the Engineering School to suffer
under the effects of proration. "We
are not sure where we will make the
cuts yet," said Carroll. "We will
probably make reductions in the.
normal schedule."
Carroll stresses the need for a full
program during the summer since
many engineering students are
involved in a co-op program.
Graduate School Dean Paul Parks
said there would be some modifica­tion
in the summer program, "but
there are several programs that
simply can't be cut." "The brunt of
any cut that is made in the various
academic schools will be felt at the
graduate level," said Parks.
"As you begin to freeze positions
and cut maintenance programs, the
first program to suffer is the
graduate program," said Parks.
"There is already signs of faculty
leaving and increasing talk of
people going for interviews with
other institutions. If budget cuts
continue I'm afraid we'll see a mass
exodus of faculty."
Parks said the Graduate School
was becoming in the early and
middle 1970's "one of the leading
schools in the country. Now we've
fallen behind in purchasing new
equipment and in new facilities and
maintenance."

departments have cut."
"I'm sure that there have been a
lot of cuts in food services, the
biggest single employer of student
employees,'' Richardson said Tues­day.
Other major employers Include
housing and the library, although
the library has had to make drastic
cuts in the last year to meet its
budget.
"Right now, there are 1,600
student employees, down 200 from i
last year. Many departments are
choosing not to hire new people as
positions become vacant,'' Richard­son
said.
In light of the raises, the employ­ment
specialist said departments
are making greater demands for
Work Study students, and slowly
phasing out many regular employ­ment
jobs.
The raise may not be all bad for all
students, as some are making more
money than they did last quarter,
Richardson explained, but many
diners are receiving hour cuts that
result in them making less money
per quarter.

Proration cut causes
physical plant la
Deluge Photography:
When it comes to the weather, rainy days may dampen the spirits of
Auburn students, but not enough to keep them indoors. Students donned
raincoats and umbrellas as the rain fell Tuesday and later turned into snow
flurries for a while on Wednesday.
Auburn University announced
Saturday that 27 non-budgeted
employees received notice of lay­offs
effective Feb. 20. The action
follows an analysis of the first three
months of the fiscal year, which
began Oct. l, when it was deter­mined
that budget cutbacks caused
by proration brought renovations
and improvements to a virtual
standstill.
Although the layoffs followed a
proration increase of 3 percent,
which cut $1.2 million from
Auburn's instructional budget, the
layoffs were the results of a "con­tinuous
study" by the University,
said Executive Vice President Dr.
Grady Cox.
Dr. Grover Jacobs, financial
advisor to the president, said the
layoffs were on a seniority basis, in
accordance with the University's
personnel policy. All those affected
have been employeed since Jan. 1,
1980.
Personnel Director Robert
Schultz said the University has to
maintain and hire some essential
skills such as electricians, air
conditioning and refrigeration
engineers and plumbers in order for
the Unviersity to operate and
provide the necessary support ser­vices
for which students pay fees.
'' Most of the workers laid off were
from janitoral services, floor main-tainance,
carpentry and painters,"
said Schultz. "We will continue to
keep things that are necessary to the
University."
Layoffs place the employees on
inactive employment status for up ,
tosixmonths, during which time the
employee is subject to immediate
recall to active employment in his or
her current or a reasonably com­parable
classification, according to
Jacobs.
The employees were told by
Physical Plant Director. Paul
Kearney at a meeting of the entire
work force of the department that
individual appointments will be
made for those laid off with the
University's personnel office, be- [

AU coed becomes Playboy bunny—for a day
Editor's note: The following is an
Auburn student's account of her
interview with Playboy photo­grapher,
David Chan.
It was never my intention to take
off my clothes and pose nude for a
national magazine. I have my own
personal reasons for not wanting to
pose nude; perhaps it stems from
my own insecurities, or my concern
about the reaction of my friends and
classmates, or the fact that my
parents would disown me and I
would have no more money to go to
school with.
My decision to go to the Playboy
interview then, was based on one
deciding factor: Whether or not the
experience was worth the effort.
I called on Friday at about 2:30
p.m. to set up my interview time.
Sherryl Snow, who works with
David Chan on this assignment,
answered the phone. I had no trouble
setting up my interview for Sunday
afternoon at the time I wanted.
Snow instructed me to be there at
2:30 p.m. wearing tight blue jeans
and a Danskin (specifically a
colorful Danskin—definitely not a
black one.) Having a perfect
stranger tell me to come to an
interview wearing tight clothing
bothered me a little, but I decided I
was still going to go.
I was surprised to find myself just
a little nervous when I arrived at the
Heart of Auburn Motel wearing
some not-sc- tight blue jeans and a
Danskin that I borrowed from my
roommate.
I'm hardly ever paranoid, but I
had a strange feeling that someone
was watching me. The fact that
there was a policeman in the motel
office when I asked for Chan's room
didn'thelp. I didn't have any trouble
finding the right room. I knocked on
the door and it was immediately
answered by Snow.
After greeting one of my sorority
sisters, a friend of mine, (with
obvious surprise on both parts) I sat
down on a couch and filled out the
application I was given.
Mostof itwasgeneral information
like name, address and curriculum.
The more specific information
included height, weight, bust, waist
and hip measurements and hair and
eye color.
The very last question on the
application was perhaps the most
interesting, if not the most perti­nent.
It consisted of three words—
nude, seminude and clothed,with a
space left by each for a check mark.
I waited from 2:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.
before Chan saw me. During the
wait, I watched Channel 9 interview
some applicants, chatted with my
friends and talked a little with Snow.
She answered any questions that
were asked, answered the telephone
and handed out applications. I was
surprised when she told me she was
a Playboy bunny. It wasn't that she
was unattractive. It's just that she
didn't fit the glamorous, sexy image
that the words "Playboy bunny"
conjure up in the minds of most
people.
At least four more applicants
came in before Chan had a chance to
see me. He asked me to go into
another room with him so he could
take my picture. I ended up posed on
the bathroom sink having my
picture taken with a Polaroid
instamatic and a flash cube. It
wasn't at all what I was expecting,
but it was definitely interesting.
While he was waiting for the
picture to develop, he and I had an
interesting discussion about
jewelry. He noticed that I wasn't
wearing a lot of rings and necklaces
and exclaimed that I was an
exception.
It was his observation that most
girls from Auburn wore a lot of
jewelry, and it was his opinion that
wearing just a few special pieces of
jewelry was much better.
He then proceeded to show me his
jade ring, two silver bracelets and a
heavy gold chain with a couple of
small chains on it and a jade pendant
at least the size of an Oreo cookie.
By that time my picture had
developed and he showed it to me
exclaiming that it was good (I
thought it was terrible). While I was
putting on my blazer (tight clothes
make me feel uncomfortable), he
looked over my application.
I had checked off clothed on my
application, but I asked him what
seminude was because I was inter­ested
in knowing exactly what it
meant. I suppose he mistook my
question for interest because he
looked at me and said "topless."
He then proceeded to open my
blazer and —how can I put this?—
assess my feminine virtues (the
upper half) from different angles. I
was surprised to say the least, but he
did it in such an offhand manner that
I really wasn't embarrassed or
insulted. . ."•.••
He was business-like about It and
he told me that I ought to consider
checking off semi-nude on my
application so it wouldn't be tossed
into the "clothed" pile with all the
others. I told him thanks and left the
room.
* Show took my* application (the.
check In the space for "clothed" left
intact) and I left. In all, it was an
interesting experience, definitely
worth the effort. "

How much bleeding?
At the end of fall quarter, Gov. Fob James
called for another year of level funding for
Alabama's colleges and universities.
Administrators and faculty here could be
forgiven for screaming in the night, for they no
doubt had recurring nightmares of the
problems 'level funding had already caused
Auburn.
Now, they can be forgiven for screaming
around the clock, because James has decided
that in 1981 even level funding is too
extravagant for the state' s institutions of higher
learning.
James' budget proposal, detailed last week
when the Legislature convened, calls for a $24
million cut in state support to colleges and
universities.
His proposal, which includes a $1.6 million,
or 2.6 percent cut in Auburn's 1980 budget, is
bad news not only for thisUniversity but for all
who are concerned about higher education in
Alabama.
It is tempting to laugh vindictively about the
9 percent, $11 million cut proposed for the
' 'other' 'University to the northwest, but even
that would be hollow laughter, because these
budget cuts ultimately threaten the quality
and reputation of every public college and
university in the state.
Certainly, there is at least a germ of truth in
James' statements that our colleges have lived
beyond their means during the past decade or
so. But penalizing the state's two largest and
well-known institutions—institutions already
beleagured by proration and previous years of
level funding—could and probably will have a
devastating effect on their quality.
As University lobbyists, including President
Hanly Funderburk, will be pointing out
legislators, funding may have remained level
the past two years, but Auburn University has
not. Its enrollment has increased, and the cost
of fulfilling its mission to the state has been
inflated.
As a result, its reserve fund has been
depleted, its library has suspended book-buying
, student workers have been laid-off and
faculty class loads have been increased.
It should be pointed out that James' cuts are
relatively across-the-board. No school is,
unaffected. Troy State's budget, for example,
is cut by more than 7 percent under James'
plan, and Montevallo' s is reduced 3.4 percent.
Junior colleges will receive $5.8 million less
than last year.
Nonetheless, it is ludicrous to assume that
Auburn, with its myriad needs for facility
upgrading and lack of reserve funds will be able
to absorb the cuts merely through maximizing
efficiency.
We hope legislators will realize that a general
belt-tightening throughout Alabama's
bloated higher education system will produce
nothing more than too many mediocre schools.
Since James apparently feels such a general
bleeding is necessary, perhaps the Legislature
should take it upon itself to come up with a plan
to insure that taxpayers pay their money for
quality products, and not simply to maintain a
slowly sinking ship.
More input needed
It took months and years to bring the issue of
on-campus alcohol to a vote, but this week the
issue died quickly and quietly.
The project to legalize alcohol in some
on-campus housing began two. years ago when
campus activist Jim Purcell brought the matter
before the Social Life Committee.
Tuesday, that committee defeated the
proposal, which would have allowed indi­vidual
dorms to vote on whether to allow
alcohol on the premises, by a voice vote.
Its death, we feel, was a bit premature.
The issue was one of those which confuse the
best instincts of heart and mind, so it was
imperative that all aspects of the question be
thoroughly researched and discussed.
Tuesday' s " no " vote was an indication that the
committee was not willing to do so.
Certainly there were major questions raised
b/ the proposal, such as the method of dorm
voting and the university's legal liabilities
resulting from legalization of on-campus
alcohol.
Likewise, there were major principles
hvolvcd. Many oppose the proposal on purely
moral grounds, while others hold that
19-year-olds should be given their freedom to
choose what is right for themselves.
To its credit, the committee solicited
opinion from all sources. It received more than
700 letters about the issue, the overwhelming
majority of which were in opposition to it.
It also requested that the Student Govern­ment
Association conduct a poll of student
opinion on the matter. To date, the results of
that poll have not been released, although they
were requested more than three weeks ago.
Thus, the sue student members of the
committee had little idea of student opinion
other than from their own friends.
We feel that whatever the reason, the SGA
was remiss in not delivering the poll results to
the Social Life Committee before a vote was
taken. It is, after all, the job of the SGA to
represent student opinion.
Further, it was also irresponsible of the
student members of the committee to vote on
the issue before discerning the opinion of the
student body they too represent.
Although it is a moot question for the time
being, we suspect the issue of on-campus
alcohol is not dead. When it arises again, those
involved in the decision-making process
{should take more time to act not only in
accordance with their own beliefs, but as
representatives of all Auburn students.
Let your love show
Candy hearts, chocolate kisses and red roses
characterize the typical Valentine's Day. But
that's not how it always was.
Valentine's Day originated with the
Catholic feast of St. Valentine in commemora­tion
of the martyrdom of a Roman priest. It was
revived in the 20th century as a celebration for
lovers.
But with today's prices of an average of 75
cents for a card and $40 for a dozen roses, lovers
may have cause to celebrate a little differently
this year.
Home-baked goods, stuffed animals or a
candlelit dinner may be cheaper alternatives.
Whatcvcrthemethod, just remember,' 'It's
the thought that counts."

Tree to choose' philosophy gaining
In American history, a change in governing
philosophy has generally come years before any
change in the government itself.
It is fascinating, therefore, to watch the
Reagan administration in the battle for the
national consciousness, and to see that national
consciousness begin to follow its direction.
Many millions of words have been inked in the
newspaper and magazines.of this country
describing the ideas of the "new right" or the
"neo-conservatives" and detailing the charac­ters
of its prime movers.
Few have stopped to realize, however, that by
some magical osmosis their ideas are slowly
being transmitted into the majority of the
intellectual arena.
The philosophy of the "new right" is based on
the premise that man is created basically evil.
This idea is very compatible with the Christian
thought on the need for salvation, which is why
conservative Christian groups attached them­selves
early to the campaign. *
From this original premise stems the
economic propositions that form the bedrock of
conservative philosophy, those concerning
economics. '
According to such a philosophy, the system of
capitalism is not only the best available
economic system, but the more pure it is, the
better. The connection of capitalism to the
evil-man doctrine was clarified by Adam Smith
in 1776, in his "Wealth of Nations" Smith said
that it was best to realize that man would
generally work for that which was in his own
self-interest, and that the most prosperous
economic system would be that one which gave
man as much freedom as possible to achieve his
self-interest.
Not only did Smith propose this radical
departure, but he also dared to suggest, as Nobel
Prize economist Milton Friedman points out in
"Free to Choose',' "that both parties to an
exchange can benefit, and so long as cooperation
is strictly voluntary, no exchange will take place
unless both parties benefit."
If the publication of Jefferson's "Declaration
of Independence" in 1776 was the declaration of
political freedom, then, points out Clemson
economist Hugh H. Macauley, Smith's "Wealth
of Nations" is our declaration of economic
independence.
The acceptance of the ideas of the free market
as coined by Smith led to the expansion of
industry until the end of the last century. Then,
as Friedman points out, the government began
to step in under the banner of "consumer
protection," known better as regulation.
The government, Friedman said, set up the
Interstate Commerce Commission to regulate
prices and routes in 1887. The result was not
consumer protection, but artificially high
Steve
Fansh
government established prices and monopolies
formation as fewer companies were able to meet
government standards.
The result of that loss of freedom of the
consumer is all too evident today. "The freight
cars being pulled by the diesels today are hardly
distinguishable from those that were pulled by
the steam engines of an earlier era," Friedman
notes. "Passenger service is slower and less
satisfactory today than it was 50 years ago. The
railroads are losing money and are in the process
of being taken over by the government."
Even though the results have been clear,
liberals who have been winning the battle of
ideas and the battleof the ballot have been able to
keep the government monster growing, feeding
it with more dollars that would have otherwise
been spent in the private sector.
"The most important event in therecent
history of ideas is the demise of the socialist
dream...The second most important event is the
failure of capitalism to win a corresponsing
triumph," writes George Gilder in his recently
published "Wealth and Poverty."
But now, the capitalist side's ideas are finally
gaining avant garde status with intellectuals as
well as the general public.
mmii^m>i
Now, for example, we see the appearance of
books like "Wealth and Poverty" which explain
that capitalism is not only good but preferable to
any other economic system. If the free market is
allowed to operate freely, it will produce the
maximum amount of economic benefit for the
country.
The desire for freedom in the economic
market translates into a desire to be more "free
to choose" across the board. People cry for the
government to get off their backs, and the
populace recognizes, as Ronald Reagan said, "we
are not better off than four years ago" because of
the increase in government.
As stated earlier, it is the Reagan administra­tion
that is taking the philosophical lead in this
matter. Backed up by Stanford's Hoover
Institute and the American Enterprise Institute
and the Heritage Foundation in Washington, the
administration has an ample supply of intellec­tuals
to trumpet its cause in that most influential
of circles, the universities.
But the battle of ideas has not been won totally
yet. Reagan himself, in his speech to the nation
last Thursday, tried to take one more step in
converting the greatAmerican middle class with
his display of figures, a dollar bill and some
change. It is with basic symbols such as those
Reagan knows he must use to capture the
intellectual force of the middle Americana.
If Reagan succeeds in winning the battle of
ideas, 1980 will have proved to be a watershed
year, just as 1932, which ushered in the present
liberal era.
It will be a victory for the common people over
the government giant if Reagan wins. More
freedom, especially economic, will be the result.
'WWtfSZ. SW^fcWWSoBMHe,
'Dumb Ish' sees substance in names
"What's in a name. A rose by any other name
would smell as sweet." When Shakespeare
wrote those words in "Romeo and Juliet," he
couldn't have forseen the use that at least one
modern country has for his wisdom.
But an article in a Tennessee newspaper last
Sunday showed me the extreme point to which
West Germany has taken Shakespeare's advice.
In West Germany, there is a government
agency, the article said, that regulates the
names that German parents can give then-offspring.
The 'officiaT'explanation for this situation is
that this agency would prevent such at rocit ious
names that are found in America and elsewhere,
such as that of the Arkansas lass, Ima Hogg, and
another poor soul, Felur Legg. People are also
limited to only five names in their titles in West
Germany (except members of royalty, of course,
who require their six-and seven-word names to
distinguish their heritage).
Now the German s may feel they have good
reason to police the naming of their future
generations, and Ima Hogg may agree with
them, but regulation of names could get out of
hand. Pretty soon they may start picking out the
names for the kids, or worse, they may start to
work on nicknames.
Therein lies the real danger. For any power
can live with a few missing names from its
vocabulary, but no civilized republic could
survive attempts to regulate people's nick­names.
Just think where we would be as a society
without nicknames.
There would never have been an "Old
Hickory" or a "Trickey Dick" as president. "The
Fatherof Our Country" would have been simply
George Washington and "Honest Abe" would've
been just plain old Abraham.
John
Farish
And where would baseball be without
nicknames. "Iron Man',' "Three Finger," "The
Yankee Clipper," "The Splendid Splinter," and
the more common "Lefty," "Shorty" and
"Phenom" are as much a part of the game as the
diamond and the outfield.
And think back on your own childhood.
Remember "The Gique," "Bones," "Spike," "Big
Mac" and "Fat Warren." Those are some of the'
more negative ones usually denoting the
somewhat aloof, uncoordinated or just plain
different kids in your class.
It is interesting to think back upon how some
of those nicknames were derived. For instance,
there was this one kid in one of my classes whose
personal hygiene could have easily been
questioned. Naturally, he picked up the name
"Stinky."
There are more sophisticated ways for a child
to acquire his nickname. Since the high school I
attended was made up of about 25 percent
Jewish students, we often came up with
nicknamesfrom Yiddish for some of our fellow
students. Fortunately, the fellow students for
whom we choose those names did not know any
Yiddish or our nicknames may have been
something like "Smushed," referred to only in
the past tense.
We also had a habit of giving other people
nicknames after a movie or television star. One
kid we called Bogart for instance not only
because his name, indeed, was Bogart, but
because older people thought you were really
smart if you had a friend named Bogart.
Anotheroneof my friends was called "Butch,"
because in seventh grade he once fell asleep in a
barber's chair and was separated from great
quantities of his hair. That nickname wore off,
though, in high school when "Butch" grew to be
6-foot-5, 180 pounds, and discovered that he
could hurt people through physical torture.
My brother and myself arrived at our
nicknames with help from some teammates in
little League baseball.
Because we are identical twins, some of our
teammates felt that it was necessary to give us
nicknames to tell us apart. They gave me the
name "Far," and my brother the name "Ish,"
Farish, get it?
Well, they thought that was real cute until
they realized that a person cannot tell twins
apart by their names. So to avoid any confusion,
they began to refer to us both as just "Ish."
After a while that system, too, became
confusing as teachers began to pick up on the
"Ish" Then when we got in the same classes that
did not work out, my cute friends came up with
a variation of "Ish" to distinguish my brother
from myself. From then on, I was referred to as
"Dumb Ish" and my brother was appropriately
titled "Smart Ish'-' (I now can imagine how Ima
Hogg feels).
Where Shakespeare and West Germany made
their mistake was in assuming that there is no
substance to a name. Maybe so in the case of Ima
Hogg, but never should they tamper with
nicknames. They may not all be roses and they
may not smell as sweet, but they are a part of life,
nonetheless, even if you are a "Dumb Ish."
'Hey Jeb, I like some of that stuff too'
"Jeb, did you see that September issue of
Playboy with all those pictures of Auburn girls
that came out today?"
"Sure did Clem, and it just disgusts me."
"Do you think it's causing an increase in rapes
in your neighborhood?"
"I'm sure it has, but I haven't seen the
statistics yet. Well have to hold tight until this
thing passes. I bought my wife a can of mace to
carry in her purse."
"Well is it causing your friends to cheat on
their wives?"
"Two that I know of so far, and those are only
the ones that I've talked to."
"That's terrible! Do you think it's also causing
divorce rates to go up?"
"Why don't you ask Joe and Mary up the
street? They're filing Monday."
"Incredible, Jeb. I remember you telling me
that all these things would happen when the
September issue came out, but I have to say that
I didn't totally believe you."
"You're not the only one. Lots of people didn't
take this thing seriously, and now they'll have to
live with it."
Tim
Dorsey
'Tell me Jeb, is the magazine affecting your
marriage?"
"Yes, the September issue is causing a rough
time for Betsy and me. We were braced for it,
however, and expect to pull through."
"It was so thoughtless of those girls to put such
a strain on your marriage."
"Sure was, but what do you expect? Those
girls are being tempted by all the bright lights of
stardom. I only hope that someday they aren't
hurt like they are hurting us."
"What about your kids? Is it making them go
blind?"
"I don't think so, but I'm taking them to the
optometrist anyway to be safe."
"What's that under your arm Jeb?" .
"Oh, it's the September issue of Playboy. I
bought it only to keep up on what's going on. I
wouldn't want to criticize something I didn't
know anything about. Besides, what's that
you've got under your arm?"
"It's also a copy of Playboy. I've got to stay on
top of what's happening too, you know."
"Oh, I don't doubt you for a minute."
"You don't?"
"Of course not, I know that you wouldn't have
bought it for anything else besides research.
Would you?"
"Well "
"Clem, you mean you actually like some of the
stuff in there?"
"I have to admit that there's some stuff that I
like."
"Really? Me too!"
"Great, did you see this on page 84? And what
about this on 56?"
"Let me check it out. Here, look at my copy: I
dog-eared all my favorite pages."
"Wow, I think I saw that one at a football
game..."

Married students outraged
at hard-hitting rent increases
Editor, The Plainsman,
The hor.sing rate increase effective Sep­tember
1981 is outrageous. When we moved to
Auburn last fall, we anticipated to pay $135 per
month for a two bedroom apartment in Caroline
Draughon Village (CDV). By January of 1981,
Thank you AU
Editor, The Plainsman,
On behalf of the Auburn swim team, we would
like to thank the Auburn student body, faculty
and staff for your attendance and support at our
meet with Florida last weekend.
We are dissappointed that we did not win for
you, but we want you to know that your presence
and enthusiastic support was a great encourage­ment
to us.
We have one more meet, with Miami, on
Friday, Feb. 20. We hope you will be there again.
The Auburn swim team tries to represent you
as you would want to be represented. You can be
sure we know you are there and we deeply
appreciate your encouragement.
Rowdy Gaines, Captain
Richard Quick, Head Coach
and the Auburn swimming team
the rent was $155 per month and by next fall we
will by paying $195 per month, an increase of
more than 44 percent in just one year.
The Plainsman was wrong in reporting that
the single apartment renters in CDV will be
hardest hit by the rate increase. They will be
charged $80 more per quarter where as the rest
of CDV will be charged $35 to $40 more per
month. The dorms will only be increased $10 to
$50 per quarter.
Why are the married students taking the
brunt of this assault? Many people live in
married housing because it is the only place they
can afford. Many people may have to drop out of
school next fall and leave Auburn because of this
rate increase. This is not right and the situation
should be changed.
The repercussions from this rate increase will
hurt everyong who rents housing in the Auburn
area. Since the University will be getting more
rent, the private sector will also feel justified in
raising their rents. I'll bet the board of trutees
did not consider that when they voted.

Playboy hurts female image
Editor, The Plainsman,
Two weeks ago The Plainsman printed a bit of
pointed prose which I submitted concerning my
reaction to the visit of the now familiar Mr. Chan
of Playboy.
Hardly the harbinger of grassroots feminism,
my letter seems, if personal reactions are any
indication, to have amused (and perhaps
edified?) the precious few and to have been
totally ignored by the masses. Undeterred, I will
attempt once again to beat what is obviously a
dead horse.
My basic attitude towards Playboy, and
therefore to Mr. Chan's visit, can be summed up
quite simply (some might say simplemindedly,
but consider the source) as a rejection of a
system that forces women into stereotypically
predetermined roles.
Hardly horrified by women's sexuality, I
nonetheless see an awareness and and apprecia­tion
for our bodies and an enlightened
perspective on sex as an integral and vital part of
the whole woman.
If I might be allowed a comparison to the black
civil rights movement in the past two decades,
the "women's movement" (to use a well-worn
cliche of jargonese) has reached a level of
acceptance that might be defined as more
theoretical than practical. Such was the case in

Gun control would not S
Editor, The Plainsman,
I am writing in response to the criticism of Tim
Dorsey's column concerning handgun control.
First of all, I would like to commend Mr. Dorsey
for taking the position he did. Although I don't
always agree with what he writes, I emphati­cally
support him on this issue.
I used to be against gun control, as many
others are, until the murder of John Lennon
prompted me to do some research which
convinced me the people who are against gun
control are the "ignorant ones."
There is, first of all, a misconception that gun
control would mean a ban on all guns. This is
absurd. True, it could mean a ban on cheap
handguns which are responsible for more than
80 percent of the murders committed, but it
could also mean the mere act of national
registration for such weapons. Yes, people could
still own guns and hunters could still hunt. What
such legislation would do is to force a minimum
five-day waiting period while an applicant is
certified to be responsible enough to own a gun.
If we already had such a program knowrt
criminals and mental patients, such as Mark",
Chapman, would not be able to purchase a guri"s8?
readily. But yet I wonder if a total %£&;'"*•
handguns isn't the answer. • <
In Japan, where tension among the people^
must be immense due to the density of wip^
population, gun control laws are stric&yti*
enforced. The gun-death rate in Japan is one-one .-qjg
hundredth of our own, and that comes straight
from Walter Cronkite's mouth. It is true that if
these cheap guns were outlawed only criminals *
would have them, but when you consider that!- f
two-thirds of the murders are committed by
people who have no previous criminal record,-jv^i
would this consequence be so disastrous? > S|j *
I also wonder why so many police officials,,
such as J. Edgar Hoover, have supported gun -
control if it were going to cause an increase in the'
crime rate.
The time is now for the 70 to 80 percent of the; *
population who have consistently been in favor-

Editor, The Plainsman,
Mr. John Williams' letter in the Feb. 5 issue of
The Plainsman provided the welcome op­portunity
for reflections on college football th at I
believe are shared by a large number of faculty
at Auburn and on other campuses in this
country. A brief, but not, I think, unfair
summary of Mr. Williams' thesis is that a
first-rate coach and first-rate broadcasts "will
lift- us out of mediocrity."
It's going to take a lot more than a radio station
and a new coach to lift us out of mediocrity.
Unlike Mr. Williams, I'm not referring to football
mediocrity, because football is wholly irrelevant
to the aims of higher education—or it should be.
In fact, however, football is menacing the-^
integrity of universities that are obsessed"witJr
the necessity of supporting "winning" teams".

the pre- "Black is Beautiful" days of the 1960s.
Black leaders who urged the mass media to
present a positive image of blacks instead of the
insidiously familiar smiling, carefree, and laay
stereotype were often rebuffed with derisive
jibes which portrayed such concern as the
unnecessary, hypersensitive crying of wolf.
In essence, I am arguing against Playboy, as
represented by the noticeable affable Mr. Chan
on social, and not moral, grounds. At a time when
we as women are seeking to redefine, indeed to
augment, the role which we play in society, the
prevailing consensus, as well as our own
self-image, can be viewed as either creative or
destructive to such ends.
It is more difficult to go forward, to change
attitudes and awareness, when we are
constantly buffeted by the image of the
freelancing macho male and the passively
acquiescent female.
Perhaps Mr. Chan might consider a spread on
the defrocked glories of the football team. Now
there's a back to school issue worth giving up
summer for.

Editor, The Plainsman,
After reading the article concerning the
arrival of Playboy photographer, David Chan, in
the Feb. 5 issue of The Plainsman, I went home
and leafed through my September 1979 issue of
Playboy magazine. This issue contained the
pictorial of the "Girls of the Ivy League." I was
amazed by all the hassels that Chan and
Playboy has to deal with in order to photograph
these young ladies and it all seemed quite
senseless to me.
AU these girls were at the age of consent and
were plenty mature enough to make their own
decisions.
It's not like Playboy wants to pull them out of
school in hopes of turning them into glamorous
models. Chan even stated to The
Plainsman he is not looking for the would-be
model type. They just want to represent Auburn
and the SEC the same as the four previous
leagues they have covered.
I am glad to see that Dr. Funderburk and the**
school administration realize these girls are
mature enough to make their own decisions and
are leaving the decision up to them.
Many people are complaining that this type of
exposure will damage the reputation of am
school. In my opinion, it will only enhance ouc£
reputation. There is no pictorial that can damage"
the teaching accreditation our University has
earned over the years. -»
However, there is another reputation ever-iS
present throughout the student body. Aul
has the reputation of having beautiful coeds am
it is well deserved. This is something that I, as
well as most of the student body, take pride in.
Sure, its now as important but it is still present x
and will only be enhanced if the pages of Playboy
are graced with Auburn's own.
Lets face it, how many times has an incoming
high school student asked the question, "What?,

Editor, the Plainsman,
I am writing this letter concerning the
presence of Playboy's photographer, David
Chan, in Auburn, and the unfortunate (to say the
least) decision of The Plain sman to announce this
presence on its front page on two different
occasions.
I was very disappointed to see the first article
on Jan. 22 announcing Mr. Chan's visit to
Auburn, but the article on the front page,
various "cuties',' on Feb. 5, was more than I ™
could take without saying something.
Feminists have long known Mr. Hefner's
publication for what it is — a
dehumanizing, degrading, sexist magazine,
with something to offend every female. And, I

Editor, The Plainsman,
While reading last week's Plainsman, we
came upon an extremely well-written logical
letter by Mr. Hardy and Mr. Garret concerning
Playboy's willful exploitation of women in
Auburn for the purpose of nude pictorial.
Although the thought of this is certainly enough
to turn one's stomach, there is another, equally
evil, presence on campus.
There are persistent rumors that Playgirl is
coming to the loveliest village to photograph
males, nude and semi-nude, for an upcoming
pictorial to be title "Guys of the S.E.C."
We believe that now, before it is too late, the
decent citizens of this community must act.
The human body is a disgusting object to view
unclothed. If God had meant for man to frolic
about naked, he would have created him that
way. In fact, the everyday act of taking a shower
nude is both degrading and distasteful to normal
people.
It is a well known fact that posing for
photographs nude results in immediate
promiscuity followed shortly by a complete
lapse of morals of any kind. Also, a myriad of
physical afflictions such as blindness, insanity,
and hairy palms have been medically do­cumented.
More importantly, what about the recent
increases in rape, divorce, acid rain and
ever-present stadium exapnsion? These are all
products of minds which have been corrupted
and polluted by offensive magazines and
pictures of men and woman in the nude.
It is obvious that the human sexual drive is the
most dominant characteristic of our society. Our
entire lives are ruled by our sexual desires. This
potentially disastrous trait must be suppressed,
to preserve the integrity of our society.
Symptoms of this pervading perversion are
already present. Just go to Langdon Hall on a
Friday or Saturday night. The sight of couples
talking, laughing and even holding hands is
enough to drive one to violence.
The most alarming aspect of this trend is the
fact that everyone is forced to look at, and read,
these immoral publications. It is everywhere,
like a viscous slime, constantly advancing its
boundries. It is only a matter of time before it
engulfs our schools, churches and city govern­ment.
We believe our constitutional rights have
been blatantly violated by both Playboy and
Playgirl from their suggestions of immorality on
our campus. We hope that our fellow students
will look at this momentous issue with equally
closed minds and help us fight this creeping
malaise.

'Circle' article has answers
to parking ticket questions
Editor, The Plainsman,
In last week's issue of The Plainsman, Beth
Jones, 4TH, wrote a letter concerning the use of
funds by the Campus Security o-ffice.
She wrote, "With the money that security
makes off the parking tickets, a SWAT team for
every dorm should be affordable—Where does
the parking ticket money go?"
Well, Beth.the answer to your question and
many other question concerning the parking
situation are avialable in the w inter issue of The
Circle.
Asone of the journalists who investigated the
situation I strongly urge you and everyone else
who is concerned about parking to obtain a copy
and read "Taking the Ticket: Campus Parking
and its Problems." I don't wanttgou to read it
because I helped write it and 111 get some sort of
satisfaction from it.
I want you to read it because I want you to be
informed, to be aware of the realities of the
situation. I dare say you and countless others
like you may not even know that The Circle was
available and contained such a story.
Read it and you'll find out where the money is
going, how much is brought in, why the problems
exist and what some of the solutions to the
parking problems are.
I'm not criticizing you at all for not knowing.
I'm just asking you to read the article. Nor am I
defending the Security office's use of the funds.
The people of Auburn, students, faculty and
staff, need to know. My job is to inform.
Mad about parking? Get the reasons why
maybe you should be in The Circle. It won't help
the security problems at Dorm K, but at least
you'll know the answer to your question.
If you can't find a copy, go by 311,Foy Union.
Get the facts.

Editor, The Plainsman,
Scott Thurston's article "Attention Auburn
doesn't deserve" (Jan. 29) is a bullheaded
indication of shallow and backwards thought
which is typical of Auburn.
In the article, Thurston basically agrees with
James Kilpatrick, a national columnist, who says
that the federal government should let people
go to college wherever they want to go. The
federal government does not make people go to
college anyway, but Kilpatrick's statement was
in reference to the U.S. Department of
Education's call on Alabama to do away with its
racially dual system of higher education which is
against the law.
The Department of Education's figures
indicate that Alabama's two predominantly
black institutions have only 2.8 percent white
students while Alabama's 14 predominantly
white institutions have but 10.1 percent black.
One does not need the U.S. Department of
Education, however, to know that there are only
a few hundred blacks at Auburn.
Thurston explains this by quoting Kilpatrick
".. .In a free society, people are free to go where
they feel comfortable, where they feel at home."
In other words, Thurston is saying that there are
few blacks at Auburn because they do not want
to come to Auburn. This is a correct
observation ' yet Thurston never goes on to
sufficiently answer the question of why?
Why do blacks not want to come to Auburn? It
is not because the University discriminates
through admissions policies. It is something far
more significant. It is the underlying attitude of
prejudice which strangles this campus.
"Nothing stands in the way of the black
student but their own disinclination;' Thurston
quotes Kilpatrick as saying. I do not think
"disinclination" tells the whole story.
Obviously Kilpatrick is not too familiar with
Auburn but Thurston should know better than
to cite a quote of this nature. Is he so out of touch
that he does not know racism engulfs our
community?
I have been to the football games and heard
the cowardly racial slurs yelled. I have been in
the classroom of 30 whites and one black and
seen the muscles in the face tighten as a "nigger"
joke was told. Yes, I have seen the hate.
Something is very wrong with Auburn. Until
this something known as racism is eradicated
the Loveliest Village will never live in true
happiness. One must understand that I am not
for artificaJ mixture of the races. I am for people
realizing that they must come together and live
in harmony. Segregation does not work and it
never will.
I do not have much faith in asking Auburn to
look in the mirror, but perhaps with a little
proding from the federal government we might
be able to make some crucial and critical
changes.

NROTC students not required to donate blood
mm*1*****"
Editor, The Plainsman,
Thank you for the excellent coverage to
promote the Auburn 5000, this year's SGA
Campus Red Cross Blood Drive.
I would also like to compliment reporter Keith
Ayers for his accurate interview of me.
However, I need to correct a statement made in
another article, which stated "The Auburn
football blood was given voluntarily. The Naval
ROTC students were required to go to the blood
drive."
It is my understanding that Coach Pat Dye did
encourage his players to donate by offering a day
off from practice. Major John O'Leary, who is
with the NROTC program, has verified to me
that there was no requirement for and NROTC
students to go to the blood drive.
On the contrary, John Breon, Operations
Officer for the Midshipman Battalion, directed a
thorough recruitment effort which encouraged
(NOT required) every member to voluntarily
donate blood.
No special rewards were offered or pressure
exerted, other than to make sure that every
member understood the value of donating and
was impressed with the pride derived from
helping toward a good turnout from the
NROTC. The NROTC, with 209 members,
produced 150 units of blood. In my opinion, that
was just great.
In behalf of the Alabama Regional Red Cross
Blood Program, I would like to thank the 3633
people who "ran" the Auburn 5000.

Model U. N. - a forum for worldly discussion
Editor, The Plainsman,
The Southeastern Invitational Model United
Nations will convene this afternoon at 1 p.m. in
Foy Union Ballroom, and I would like to extend
an invitation to all students to come and watch
the model in operation.
I would like to strongly encourage everyone to
come and see how the United Nations works,
because many people know very little of how the
United Nations operates, or for that matter,
what the United Nations can or cannot do.
In a world of increasing tensions, the United
Nations is the only international, worldly forum
for debate on current issues. The United Nations
is a very influential institution in much of the
world. Although most Americans have a
tendency to overlook its impact on world affairs,
it is becoming more important for our future
leaders to begin understanding its integral part
in peace-keeping efforts.
So please come by anytime between 1p.m. and
6 p.m. Thursday, or 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday
246,213 and 208 in Foy Union. Saturday, the
United Nations will convene in the ballroom
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
In addition to the model, Horizons will present
the former ambassador to the Unit ed Nations for
Jimmy Carter, Donald McHenry. He will speak
tonight at 7:30 in the Student Activities
Building. I urge you to come and see one of our
nation's most distinguished diplomats.

Ireland said he was glad to see the
outcome of the committee's vote.
The SGA president had stated
earlier his opposition to alcohol on

University" if the resolution had
been passed.

for aid, he said.
The funding bill comes onto the
floor from the committee with a
"favorable report," Holsenbeck
said. Rep. Walter Owens of Center-ville,
chairman of the committee,
speaks on behalf of the bill, he said.
Friendly and unfriendly amend­ments
can be added to the bill on the
floor before its passage to the Senate
Finance and Taxation Committee,
usually in April, where the commit­tee
process beeins again, he said.
Sen. Richmond Pearson, chair­man
of the committee, along with
Auburn's Sen. Ted Little, the com­mittee's
vice chairman, speak on its
behalf on the Senate floor after its
passage and amendation in com­mittee,
Holsenbeck said.
The Senate, with the ball now in its
corner, has two alternatives,
Holsenbeck said. It can either pass
the House bill with no amendments,
which "most of the time doesn't
happen," he said, or it can amend
the House version, pass its own
version and send a final measure to a
conference committee made up of
members of both houses.
Three members come from each
house; the Speaker of the House Joe
McCorquodale appoints the House
members, and Lt. Gov. George
McMillan appoints the three Senate
members, he said.
After the conference committee
has made further inquiries and
drafts a joint resolution, usually in
late April, the bill again goes back to
the two houses for a vote, Holsen­beck
said. This time there are four
alternatives: the bill could be
passed and sent to the governor, the
joint committee could be requested
to meet again, a new joint com­mittee
could be formed or the bill
could be started all over again, he
said.
The budget bills, because they are
so vital, generally take the entire
session to complete, he said. Last
year's education budgets were com­pleted
hours after the adjournment
deadline, he added.
Once the bill is finally passed,
Holsenbeck said, the governor
doesn't veto a budget bill once it is
passed."
After the entire legislative pro­cess,
the budget comes home to
Auburn to be allocated at its final
levels. That process, "an incre­mental
approach," initially pro­vides
first for improvements in
personnel costs, said Dr. Grover
Jacobs, financial adviser to the
president. . .
Often, the monies are allocated to
the schools or department heads in
lump sums, from which they are
then divided among departments,
he said.
Any money left over after those
allocations goes into maintenance,
Jacobs said, but he noted there have
been no extra monies for the past
three years.

When asked if he had any com­plaints
about the decision since the
SGA Senate had endorsed the re­commendation,
SGA Vice Pre­sident
Scott Smallwood said, "I feel
the committee had considered all
the angles of having alcohol in the
dorms and they made their decision
from that."
Hill Sen. Lindsey Jackins, who
was present at the meeting, said she
would like to see the Social Life
Committee amend the rules on
alcohol which she described as
discriminatory now. She said the
Caroline Draughon Apartments,
which are heavily populated by

alcohol in their rooms; yet stu­dents
in the Hill and Quad dorms can
be punished for having alcohol in
their rooms.

directories left from fall quarter. A

Sig Ep president Peter Burton
said Gilmore, a brother in the
fraternity, sustained a severe skull
fracture, a broken nose and minor
abrasions when he fell from a stair
railing about 1:10 p.m.
A hospital spokesman said Gil­more
was transferred Tuesday
from the intensive care unit to the
progressive care unit, where pa­tients
receive more care than
normal but less than in the intensive
care unit.
Burton said only eightpeople were
present in the house at the time of the
accident. Gilmore was found un­conscious
at the bottom of the stairs
by the brothers almost immediately
after he fell. Burton said the cause of
the fall had not been determined.

sum of $2,000 set aside annually to
permit part-time student assistance
for the senate.
This money would provide for
routine needs, such as phone assis­tance,
supplies, and some travel
expenses for officers and speakers.
Administration officials told the
senate its requests would be consi­dered
when the budget was formu­lated.

Auburn's college bowl team going to regionals
By Monique Van Landingham
Plainsman Staffwriter
What does Margaret Herrick have
to do with the Academy Awards?
The answer to this question may
be insignificant, but to four people
on this campus, it may mean the
difference between victory and
defeat.
Rick Harmon, as captain, will
lead the Auburn College Bowl team
at regionals this weekend when they
try to answer questions like this.
Margaret Herrick dubbed the name
Oscar for the Academy Award
because it looked like her uncle
Oscar.
Other members from the original
Plainsman team are Dave White
and John Mangels. Patty Gurczak
was added from the pre-med team
which gave the Plainsman team a
tough fight in the last stages of
intramural play last Tuesday.
A College Bowl team competes
with other teams by attempting to
correctly answer questions first.
Harmon explained that College
Bowl was very popular in the late'SOs
and'60s. It was played frequently
and highly rated on television and
radio. Auburn had a team at the time
although it's record was unimpres­sive.
Interest began to wane, and the
sport almost died out in the late '80s
causing Auburn to lose its team.
Then, about three years ago, when
public interest was again on the rise,
Harmon and White established the
Auburn Plainsman team. Their
team was successful in defeating the
teams of other campus organiza­tions
every year and earned the
chance to go to the regionals which
will be held this year in St.
Petersburg, Fla.
' 'Dave and I work well together,''
Harmon said,' 'because Dave has an
incredibly wide range of useful

knowlege, and I have a natural
ability for the useless."
He stressed the latter point with
an example. "If I take a history
course, the thing I'll remember
about Napolean is that his troops
wore buttons on their sleeves so they
wouldn't wipe their noses on them,''
he said.
The questions used at contests
can cover any topic, Harmon said.
His best field is the arts ' 'but mostly
surface stuff," he said. "Dave is
excellent. He has a meaningful
understanding of many subjects,
especially the sciences and poli­tics.
'' He added h e and White
are in the graduate program in
political science. This will be their
last year to compete in College
Bowl.
Harmon has been preparing for
regionals by making and studying
flash cards with sample questions.
* 'By the time of regionals, I should
have about 100 cards with 12
question on each. I'm hoping they
ask alot of movie questions. I have
about 40 movie books, an incredible
amount of trivia," he said shaking
his head.
The University is financing the
trip to St. Petersburg. Harmon said
the team members will leave Au­burn
about 6 a.m. Friday. After
arriving, they will begin half hour
and hour long matches at 5:30 p.m.
and continue again and last until 10
p.m. The team will return late
Sunday.
"Ireally love it," Harmon said.
"It's the only chance I get to use all
this stuff I know."
He said regretfully that no jobs
use such a diverse, but limited
knowledge, with the possible ex­ception
of journalism.
"Someday, before I die, I'm going
to be on two quiz shows," he vowed.

Tiger grapplers take first
for third straight SEIWA
By Brian Love
Plainsman Sportswriter
The Auburn wrestlers continued
their domination of the Southeasten
Invitational Wrestling Association
Tournament, Friday, by coming in
first for the third straight year
before a sparse crowd in the
Memorial Coliseum.
Auburn's superiority was so great
that Tiger head coach Tom Milko-vich
left assistant Sam Komar to
coach the finals while he was in
California recruiting.
The Tigers finished with 109.5
points while UT-Chattanooga had
60.75, Georgia Tech 46, Carson-
Newman 43.75, Jacksonville State
35.5, Florida International 26.25,
Tennessee Tech 25.25 and Sewanee
5.5.
Tennessee wassohedukdto parti­cipate
but withdrew since the
Volunteers have a duel meet with
Auburn on Feb. 13.
While Milkovich was recruiting,
two other coaches were making
impressions. Former-Tiger
wrestler Troy Downey coached the
impressive Chattanooga squad
Lady basketball
reaches beyond
other AU sports
By Russ Lockhart
Plainsman Sportswriter
An Analysis
What team does Auburn have that
has, on the average, won more than
a half-dozen games a year since
1973?
The Auburn Lady Tigers basket­ball
team, winners of last week's
SEC Tournament in Baton Rogue,
La., have averaged 14 wins a season
since 1973-74 while playing under
three different coaches.
In eight years the Tigers have
placed second in the State AIAW
Tournament four times, thus
earning a berth in the AIAW
Regional tourney but have lost each
time in the tournament.
One year the Tigers placed third in
the state tourney and did not make
the cut for the reglonals. So the
Tigers went to the Bulldog Classic in
Starkville, Miss., forerunner of the
SEC tournament.
In 1976 Dr. Joanna Davenport took
over women's athletics as assistant
athletic director. She felt then was
the starting point for the women's
basketball program, after Susan
Nunnelly, who coached from 1974 to
1976, left to become assistant Di­rector
of Recreational Services. She
had records of 17-6,13-8 and 17-9 for
her three years.
In 1977 Janet Pylant came in and
took the team to two second-place
finishes in the State AIAW tourna­ment
and berths to the Regionals.
One year the Tigers placed third in
the state and went to the Bulldog
Classic at Mississippi State. She
posted records of 12-8, 8-18 and 9-18
during her three-year tenure here.
In 1980 Pylant departed and Joe
Ciampi arrived. His first season the
Lady Tigers went 17-13, and this
year the Lady Tigers are 19-4.
See CIAMPI, page B-6
while the Florida International
coach, Sid Huitema, was protesting
matches and constantly complain­ing
to the officials.
The most surprising of the Tigers'
wins came when Kirby Kepner
pinned Alan Brown of Carson-
Newman in only 23 seconds for the
167-pound title. Kepner has just
started to be used in the past three
weeks.
Kepner's who beat Jacksonville
State's Frank Kovey 18-earlier pin
came suddenly when both wrestlers
met head-on then forced each other
to the mat. However, Kepner over­powered
Brown gaming the pin
before most people found out the
Auburn wrestler's name.
During the day, Auburn's grap­plers
were 14-2 in matches, in­cluding
four pins, to qualify nine
wrestlers for the 10 finals. The only
weight class not to qualify for the
finals was heavyweight.
The opening match of the finals,
was between 142-pounders in which
Florida International's Doug House
beat Clar Anderson 6-5. Florida
International had to catch a plane
was the reason for this match to go
first.

AU swimmers lose close to Gators
By Pete Mohney
Plainsman Sportswriter
The Auburn men's swimming and
diving team lost for the first time
this season in a down-to-the-wire
meet at home this weekend to
Florida, 58-55. The women's team
also fell prey to the Gators,86-53.
The men looked good at first,
winning the 400-medley relay by .26
seconds and takinga first in the
1,000-yard freestyle by almost three
seconds. Florida showed they
hadn't given up when Gator David
Larson beat world record holder
Rowdy Gaines in his own event,
1:36.95 to 1:36.99.
Florida proved to be even tougher
in the 50-yard freestyle, the next
event. Florida's Rob Ramirez took
first, and Mike St. Denis tied with
Auburn sprinter Dave Hart, so the
points for the second and third were
split between the teams. Although

Auburn's fabled distance runners
held tough and allowed the Tigers to
tie host LSU when the mile relay
team took top honors in last Satur­day's
LSU 5-way Indoor Track
Meet.
All day long the Auburn distance
racers garnered up points and
despite missing the nation's leading
collegiate pole vaulter and top flight
triple jumper, still managed a fair
showing on the track where the SEC
Championships will take place later
this month on Feb. 27 and 28.
LSU and Auburn each had 67
points in the five-team competition.
Miss. St. was third with 40 points and
was followed by Ole Miss' 25 and
Rice's 20. Had Auburn had the
services of David Spivey and Manny
Topplns, each of whom would have
won their respective events, they
would have won. Each is expected
back in time for the conference
meet.
Heading up the excellent distance
contingent were Chris Fox and Bob
Hicks. Fox qualified for the NCAA
Championships in the mile with his
time of 4:04.50. Unfortunately Fox
was passed in final steps by Bobby
Beck of LSU. But Fox came back
and blitzed an 8:53.6 two-mile and in
the process avenged his earlier
defeat to Beck, beating his foe by 40
yards. The victory along with Roger
Jones and Matt Nolan in fourth and
fifth, pulled Auburn to within 2
points of LSU going into the mile
relay.
' Hicks had another outstanding
race in what has been a very
outstanding senior season. Hicks
won the pressure-packed 1,000-yard
run with his time of 2:11.55. Second
was teammate John Tuttle (2:11.
78 ).
In the high hurdles, Auburn
placed 2-3-4 behind LSU's sensa­tional
Orlando McDaniel (7.1). Mike
Benjamin in 7.3 led the Auburn
attack with Kenny Guild (3rd) and
Gene Miller (4th) being clocked in
7.3 as well. Miller was the fastest
qualifier going into the final. Miller
and McDaniel are the top two
returning collegiate high hurdlers in
the nation. Later Miller placed third
in the flat 60-yard dash with a time of
6.2.
Trailing Fox in the mile were
Tuttle in third (4:04.57) and Greg
Herzog in fourth place (4:05.40)
qualified for the NCAA Champion­ships.
Herzog later placed third in
the 880 with a time of 1:54.29.
. The mile relay of Steve Strother,
Brian Burns, John Hill, and Joe
Toles ran second to Miss. St. the
entire distance and finished in
3:17.72 but the LSU meet offlcals
disqualified MSU for a lane infrac­tion
and gave Auburn a 2-point
pickup on LSU instead of 1. Without
the disqualif acation Auburn would
have lost by a single point. Toles and
Burns had earlier placed third and
fourth in the 600. Strother was fifth in
the 440 in 49.98.
Pole vaulter David Spivey had a
sore elbow and did not compete but
is expected back in action this.
weekend when the Tiger's travel to
Montgomery for the Southern Class­ic.
In field action, high jumpers Mike
Lang and Jay Gonzalez each cleared
6-8 3X4 to place third and fourth
respectively. Forika McDougald
placed third in the triple jump (46-0
3/4) and fifth in the long jump
(21-4). John Price threw the 16-
pound shot 48-1H to place fourth
while decathlete Reed Montague
was fifth with a throw of 42-8%.
This weekend the team will "be

Coliseum. More than 800 athletes
are expected to participate in the
action which gets under way at noon

Valentine9s day rhyme
Athletes and coaches search for Cupid's verse
By Becky Hopf
Sports Editor
With Valentine'sDay only an arrow's flight away, the Spinners are not
the only ones asking Cupid to draw back his bow to let his arrow flow to
theirlovers' heart. Auburn University has some famous groups of its own
who show their love as poetry in motion.
Auburn's athletes and coaches pour their hearts into their sports, and
as Valentine's Day nears, a handful let their emotions overflow on paper
in one of the most traditional of Cupid's ploys, the love poem.
"Courts are rectangular, baskets are round. If you keep on winning,
my love will rebound," cooed Auburn head women's basketball coach
Joe Ciampi to his Lady Tigers who are the Southeastern Conference
champions and are currently ranked in the nation's Top 20.
World Swimmer of the Year Rowdy Gaines and teammate David "TJ"
Hart took a dip in Valentine's poetry and are sure to make waves with a
poem they dedicated to their fans, "Happy Valentine's Day, we wish to
you, from the hardest working team at Auburn U." Auburn's swimmers
were ranked fifth in the country last week.
When it comes to poetic license, two of Auburn's female distance
runners, who asked for anonymity, were on the right track.
' 'Miles and miles of distance is just fine, Valentine; please be mine. No
more intervals on the track, please, let me stop before the bear jumps on
my back" pleaded one.
"My Valentine is so much fun. It really can make my heart run. Not
only this, at its insistence, it always makes my body go the distance,"
dedicated the other.
Southeastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association champion Eli
Blaze ff specializes in pins in the ring, but he penned this verse by tagging
the help of his SEIWA champion younger brother, Ernie, for their mother
in Stow, Ohio.
"Roses are red, Violets are blue. On this Valentine's Day, Mother, I
wish I were with you."
And their roommate Hal Jones who works for Auburn Sports
Information, took down this observation about his wrestling roommates.
"Roses are red, Violets are blue. We can't write poetry, this poem proves
it's true."
And for the nationally famous Auburn track team, assistant coach Ed
Heitner let his pen run away with this creation:
"There is a group of athletes, the fleetest on the Plains, and the only
races they win are against those using canes. All kidding aside, they are
nationally known, where In competition their superiority is definitely
shown. They run, they jump, they give their all, and their record is the
dream of all types of ball.
"Head coach Mel Rosen is a helluva man, he'll be in "That Magazine'
photographed by Mr. Chan. Then there's Coach Muska, twice SEC Coach
of the year, whose excellence is known both far and near.
"So to chose a sport that pressure won't crack, the best at Auburn is
definitely track. War Damn Sneaker!"
And from the Spikettes, the hostesses for the track team: "A
Valentine's wish to the track team, why not? They know Cupid's arrow
has already bee shot deep in each of their hearts and into their fans who
cheer, for the love of their sport lasts all year. Each runner's dedication,
discipline and ambition is something to ber egarded wwith envious
suspicion, for in no other sport such commitment can you find. We love
you track team, you're one of a kind."
And for football players, tennis, golf, gymnastics and baseball, may
Valentine's Day be filled with completed passes and games of love and
swings thathityour lovers' hearts' with smiles that beam. May Cupid hit
a winning run with Valentine's happiness as its basis.

Sinking fast
Tiger basketball is slowly but surely obtaining the SEC cellar
EYEING A VICTORY MwJograohv: M** Almond

The Auburn basketball team sunk
further into the Southeastern Con­ference
cellar with a 1-11 SECrecord
after collecting loses to Kentucky
and Florida last week. Auburn's
most recent loss came against
Florida last Saturday 55-50 in a
regionally televised game at the
Plains.
Auburn battled the 10-10 Gators
down to the wire, bowing out of the
game in the final seconds. Point-wise,
the Tigers stayed in the game
and trailed Florida by 1 point at
51-50 with 37 seconds remaining.
Auburn had the ball in bounds at its
own goal, but a pass from Darrell
Lockhard to Byron Henson was
overthrown out of bounds, and the
Gators took possession of both the
ball and the game.
' 'Darrell just threw it away,'' said
Auburn head basketball coach Son­ny
Smith.' 'We set three screens, but
they got around one of them. Don't
fault Darrell for the loss. The game
was not lost on that one play. This
staff doesn't blame one player on
one play.
"From our standpoint, the game
came down to the first half," said
Smith. "We shot 30 percent in the
first half. I don't know what our free
throw percentage was, but it wasn't
any better than 50 percent.
Barfield experiences unfamiliar
R v D a v e R p n n « —-a 4-j I i. T» j. »A . —. ' _ . -
"It may not have been that good.
We played pretty well in the second
half, but we didn't get the job done in
the first half. Shooting percentage is
what beat us."
Auburn was 10-16 at the line in the
first half for 63 percent and 4-6 in the
second for a game 64 percent.
Florida outshot the Tigers in free
throws with 81 percent in the game
hitting 13-16. Florida hit 51 percent
from the floor in the game while
Auburn hit 41 percent.
The Tigers trailedby eight at 32-24
at the half with the Gators leading by
as much as 11 in the stanza, But
Auburn came back in the second half
and stayed within one four times
throughout the half, and Frank
Poindexter connected a free throw
to tie the score at 50-50 with 4:04 left
in the game.
The game stayed at 50-50 until
Auburn called time out at 1:06 and
then Florida's Mike Milligan hit one
of two free throw attempts to lift the
Gators to 51-50 lead. Auburn called
time out again at :37 seconds, and
one second later, Lockhart's ill-fated
pass to Henson put the ball into
the Gators' possession.
Florida's Vernon Delancy added
four more within 12 seconds to
insure the win. Delancy led the
game in scoring with 21 points,
followed by Ronnie Williams, 10,
Time Strawbridge, 9 and Mike
Milligan, 9 and Mark Giombettl, 6.
Lockhart was Auburn's leading
scorer and leading rebounder with
12 points and five rebounds. Earl
Banks scored 11, Henson, 10, Poin­dexter,
9, Alvin Mumphord, 3 points
andfive rebounds, Eric Stringer and
Vince Martello, 2 and Bobby Cat-tage
with one.
"We needed a win," said Florida
head basketball coach Norm Sloan
who now has a 4-8 conference
record. "The win will help us get
back the belief in the things we do
good. . .Vernon Delancy will have
more great games at the University
of Florida.
"We had more patience today,
taking higher percentage shots; we
went back to our style-looking to get
shots to someone else."
Auburn lost to then 6th ranked
Kentucky last Wednesday night in
Lexington 102-74. The Wildcats
7-foot-l sophomore center Sam
Bowie paced Kentucky with 23
points in the game, including four
field goals and a free throw that
started their campaign and kept the
