Admissions changes considered
By Sonny Long
Assistant News Editor
An enrollment policy that may
alter Auburn admissions standards
is being developed by a 12-member
committee headed by Dr. Taylor
Littleton, vice president for Aca­demic
Affairs.
The committee, which held its
first meeting yesterday, will pro-j
pose a general admissions policy for
I consideration by the Admissions
Office and the Admissions Commit­tee.
"The plan won't be one of arbi-
J trary restrictions," said Littleton.
"We want to come up with an
! intelligent plan for the betterment of
education for those who are here and
I for those who want to come here."
"It is the University's respons­ibility
to provide the best instruction
we can, not just pack the students in
and not give them what they think
Auburn stands for. That is our
principal responsibility," Littleton
said.
"Before now we have kept our
academic standards high while the
student body has continued to grow.
That is what we stand for academ­ically.
We are now talking about a
control situation, where before we
were always expansionistic.
Schools which have kept their
academic standards high and have
limited enrollment have gained in
the long run. Academic excellence
represents something of impor­tance
to students,'' continued Little­ton.
Littleton expects the committee to
meet several times before the Aug.
11 University senate meeting when a
report will be submitted. The Ad­missions
Office begins approving
admissions for 1982-83 students in
August.
The committee coordinator sees
the principal issue facing the com­mittee
as the proper relationship
between enrollment and faculty
resources to maintain quality in the
classroom.
"Ourpresentbudgetoutlook is not
conducive to new faculty positions.
We must consider the faculty re­sources
we have at present and
assess whether to modify the admis­sion
of freshmen and maybe trans­fer
students. Certain changes may
help to ease the burden on the
faculty," said Littleton.

off-campus housing in the Auburn area.

In his interview with The Plainsman about
off-campus housing, Smith Jackson also listed some
points tenants should look for in the lease as well as
legal jargon the tenant should clarify with his
landlord before signing the lease.
In addition, he suggested some tips to consider,
about a place, before signing that lease, in getting
back the deposit, and in resolving roommate
conflicts.
What are some of the main points a prospective
tenant should look for in the lease?
"It's hard to say--what the No. l thing is,"
Jackson said. "I think one thing students should
really know is that it is not University housing. If you
have a roommate and say your roommate drops out
and goes to Florida, if you sign that lease you' re \ both
responsible," he said.
"It's co-signer liability. It applies in most cases.
We're talking about a standard lease," he said.
Although Jackson said he didn't know how
frequent a problem it is when roommates drop out,
leaving rent unpaid, he said, "it's a severe problem
when it does occur, because the student comes in and
says, 'Well, the landlord's put a lien against my
stereo.' "
Jackson said, "If (the tenant) owes the( landlord)
money, (the landlord) can get the sheriff to go in there
and take (the tenant's) stuff and sell it to pay the
landlord what the tenant owes him. It blows students'
minds when that happens. When it does happen^ it's
bad," he said.
Jackson suggested the tenant be aware of some
legal jargon before signing the lease, such as "what
repairs will be made by the landlord-that needs to be
clarified," he said.
"Subleasing. There's usually a $25 subleasing fee.
Deposits. According to (Sen.) Ted Little's law, it's
usually not applied to rent. It should be refunded,
unless there's damage, something like that," said
Jackson.' 'Most landlords are pretty good in Auburn,
but there are some that may say, 'That's not
refundable.' But, by definition, a depositv is
refundable if you meet certain conditions."
A landlord can hold back on the deposits for several
conditions, Jackson said, such as you "didn't clean
your oven. Had damages, like cigarette burns on the

students on tne committee, said,"A
lot of students complain about
reducing enrollment, but once you
point out the overcrowded class­rooms
and the problems with
scheduling classes, they begin to see
the positive side."
' 'We have to pay special attention
to in-state students. But, we also
have to consider Auburn alumni who
live out of state and have been
planning for years to send their
children to Auburn."
' "There is a chance we could set an
ACT cutoff score so out-of-state
students could apply for a special
admissions waiver. That way we
would be sure to get the cream of the
crop, but there is always the danger
of losing a varied student body,"
Britton said.
Littleton added, "We are faced
with complex problems. Some of
these problems are with us every
year such as scheduling and class
size. These are important issues to
me. The situation with out-of-state
enrollment also has many compli­cated
sides. We are a state univer­sity,
but we also have a lot of
regional dimensions."
Included on the enrollment policy
committee are Littleton,Britton,

Rod Jenkins, civil engineering;
Charlotte Ward, physics; Wilbur
Hinton, music; and Edith Miller,

Other committee members in­clude
John Grover, fisheries; Jack
Rogers, mathematics; Miller
Solomon, English; William Bullock,
industrial design; Earl Hlggins,
counselor education; Jack Thorne,

"If we decided to control the ratio
of in-state to out-of-state students,
how would we go about it so
everyone could understand it? It is a
delicate matter." Littleton con­cluded.

Benefits to students endangered
By Keith Ayers
News Editor
Social Security payments to col­lege
and trade school students who
have lost one or both parents may
become a thing of the past if a part of
the Reagan budget now being
debated in a House-Senate con­ference
committee passes the Con­gress.
Similar versions of the bill have
passed the House and the Senate,
and Mark DuBose of the Opelika
Social Security administration said
Monday that the cuts are almost
inevitable.
' 'Even though the changes at this
time are just proposals, the House
and Senate seem to agree that cuts
need to be made. The big point of
discussion now is when and how the
cuts will be implemented," DuBose
said.
He said the conservative Senate is
pulling for earlier effective dates
than the House, which is the key
point of controversy.
Currently, students who are elig­ible
for benefits may continue to
receive them until they are 22 years
old, granted they are full-time
students. Non-students are denied
benefits after they reach 18.
The proposed bill will change the
eligibility age to 18 for all, students
and non-students alike. This move
will make most college-age students
ineligible for benefits.
Debate is still going on in the joint
committee about how and when the
changes will be Implemented.
"It is proposed that the cut will
phase out benefits for students over
18 who begin college after May,
1982," DuBose said.
"The cuts, if passed, will also end
all cost of living increases for those
currently receiving benefits after
July, 1981 (this month)," he added.
The proposal calls for reducing
benefits to those over 18 by 25
percent per year starting in 1982.
Under this plan, all benefits will
have been paid by 1985 and no more
would be paid after this date.
DuBose said the Social Security
system has been plagued with fraud
and misapplication in the student
benefit program.
"In many situations—especially
in dealing with trade schools—stu­dents
apply for benefits and are
approved because they register for
a full-time load at a college or trade
school," he said.
Health Center cuts
"They then drop a course or two,
and no longer maintain full-time
status. All the time they are
receiving checks and still get their
money until we can catch up with
them."
"It is very hard to verify who is
using the money for school and who
is just going along for the ride,"
DuBose said.
"I know that most people do want
to go to school, but others enroll In
school justtogettheirmoney. This is
one of the big reasons the Social
Security system is in trouble," he
said.
DuBose also said that paying
more and more student benefits -
each year without raising Social
Security taxes accordingly is chok­ing
the system.
"Increasing benefits throughout
the years and not raising taxes has
left the system in big trouble," he
said.
The Auburn University Institu­tional
Analysis Office says approxi­mately
600 to 800 students currently
receive Social Security benefits at
Auburn. The office reserves that
this number is not exact, since the
money goes directly to students and
is not handled by the University.
Free ambulance service may be discontinued
By Robin Wilkes
Plainsman Staffwriter
The campus ambulance service
operating out of Drake Health
Center may be cancel ed or altered
after next year because of a new
ambulance service operating out of
Lee County Hospital, sources within
the University indicate.
Dr. Judith Hood, director of Drake
Health Center, said the service will
continue as usual through this year,
although she would not speculate on
when the changes would be made.
The availability of a private
service locally has prompted what
Dr. Hood calls an evaluation of "the
nature of calls and costs" of the
campus service.
Dr. Harold Grant, dean of stu­dents
and a member of the Student
Health Committee, which makes
budget recommendations for the
Health Center to the University
president, said, "the Student Health
Committee has recommended and,
the president has approved that
when the present ambulance is no
longer usuable, It will not be
replaced."
Grant gave two reasons for this
decision, cost and availability of
ambulance service locally. "The
ambulance service is very expen­sive
now. It will be cheaper with a
private service, or at least, that was
the feeling of the Health Com­mittee,
"he said. "Auburn Univers­ity
bought its first ambulance at a
time when there was no service
locally. As other services develop,
we re-evaluate our service so there
is no duplication."
Dr. Anna Svacha, also a member
of the Student Health Committee,
said the decision not to purchase a
new ambulance was made because
it was "beyond the feasability of
funds. It really wasn't a decision-there
was just no way."
Dr. Hood said that authority to
discontinue the campus ambulance
service rests with her and that any
future plans will not leave students
without adequate ambulance
service.
Currently, the campus ambu­lance
service consists of four stu­dent
drivers, one ambulance, and
costs the University approximately
$13,000 in annual student health fees.
Last year, the campus ambulance
service answered 220 calls: seven
involved life-threatening emer­gencies
or the possibility of perman­ent
impairment, 40 were semi-emergencies
and 115 required trans­port
to the Health Center. Average
response time was 1.5 minutes. The
service is free to students.
The proposed private ambulance
service would be based at Lee
County Hospital, 12 miles away
from the University. Sources in­volved
in ambulance work estimate
an ambulance based at Lee County
would require at least 20 minutes to
respond to an emergency call on
campus, provided the ambulance
was not impeded by traffic or other
obstacles.
Anyone, including students, using
the Lee County service would pay a
basic $60 fee, plus $1.75 per mile
round-trip. Other charges could
include $20 for oxygen or $25 for
special handling, that is, anything
other than transport. The service is
scheduled to begin in September on
a one-year basis, said Auburn Mayer
Jan Dempsey.
The city of Auburn will pay up to
$62,000 initially to help Institute the
Lee County service, and $2,000
monthly to maintain it, Mayor
Dempsey said. At this time, the
service has not been negotiated to
include the University, although
Mayor Dempsey said, "if the Uni­versity
expects to participate in the
service, it would be expected to pay
its fair share."
Dr. Dunlap Oleson, medical ad­ministrator
for Drake Health Cen­ter,
said no decision has been made
concerning the use of the Lee County |
ambulance service on cam­pus
partly because "several things
about one new service are not yet
clear as far as we're concerned."
Oleson said he thinks there are
several questions that should be!
considered, including—"how en-!
thusiastlc Lee County would be |
about answering so many calls that
only require transport? And how
happy would the student be about
going in the ambulance to the
hospital?"
For the city of Auburn and the
University to fully benefit, there.
should be an ambulance in Auburn
itself—Lee County Hospital is a
pretty good distance away. (Re­sponse
time) has been the problem
we've had with the Triple A service
(based on the other side of Lee
County Hospital) and I can't see that
it would be a whole lot faster
operating out of Lee County," he
said.
Dr. Hood said, "The students can
rest assured that the Student Health
Center, the Health Committee and
the administration are looking for
the best solution for emergency
coverage for the students. In my
opinion, the Health Center doesn't
really need to be in the ambulance
business."
As an alternative to the present
ambulance service, Oleson said the
possibility of converting the ambu­lance
to a simple transport unit had
been discussed. A simple transport
unit would be a driver and vehicle,
whose purpose would be to transport
non-emergency patients to Drake
Health Center.

Several Auburn professors con­sidered
calling for a vote of no
confidence on President Hanly Fun-derburk
after his decision limiting
student enrollment, according to
Gordon Bond, University senate
chairman-elect.
Bond said that some professors
were angered by the way the
enrollment decision was made and
considered it the last straw.
They did not call for a no
confidence vote, however, because
they hoped that by voicing com­plaints
openly, passing resolutions
and planning an evaluation of
Funderburk, the University senate
could elicit more positive responses
from Funderburk than through a
vote of no confidence. -
According to John Kuykendall,
the current chairman of the Univer­sity
senate, the number of profes­sors
calling for a no confidence vote
was very small and that they
realized that it was an extreme
measure with an uncertain result.
The University senate did pass a
resolution, however, authorizing an
evaluation of Funderburk which it
hopes will be used in conjunction
with one that the board of trustees
may conduct as a result of a request
by Funderburk himself.
Funderburk sent a letter to R.C.
Bamberg, vice-chairman of the
board, on June 29 requesting the
appointment of a committee to
evaluate him and other top admin­istrators.
Bamberg said that although he
personally believes it is too early to
evaluate Funderburk, he will try to
set up an evaluation committee at
the next meeting, which is set for
Aug. 24.
Both Bamberg and John Denson,
Auburn trustee from Opelika,
voice'' reservations about how the
evaluation would be handled. Den­son
said that the evaluation might be
difficult to carry out' 'because there
is nothing to gauge it against."
He added, "I don't know of any
other evaluations done on presi­dents
at Auburn. It will be hard to
compare this one with anything."
Bamberg suggested that the
committee set up to evaluate the
president may first have to study the
methods other schools have used in
evaluating their presidents.
Students released on bond following arrests
By Virginia Martin
Plainsman Staffwriter
Two Auburn students who were
arrested Monday, June 29, for
cocaine-related activities are out of
jail on bond and a former student
arrested at the same time is in
Hill Crest Hospital in Birmingham.
The three were arrested in con­nection
with the sale of 3.6 ounces of
high quality cocaine with a street
value estimated by police at
$175,000.
The arrests followed a four-month
investigation by the Auburn and
Opelika police departments, the
Lee County Sheriff's Department,
the Alabama Bureau of Investiga­tion
and the Federal Drug Enforce­ment
Agency.
JosephTatum.a 24-year-old soph­omore
in pre-engineering charged
under federal law with attempting
to distribute cocaine, was released
Monday from the OpeiiKa jan on a
$25,000 bond.
Michael Pellegrini, a 23-year-old
senior in building construction was
charged by the state of Alabama
with felony possession of cocaine
and marijuana and released Tues­day,
June 30, from the Auburn jail on
a $5,000 bond.
Although Pellegrini was not
directly linked to this investigation
he was arrested when police search­ed
the house he shares with Tatum,
finding 2 ounces of cocaine and 1%
pounds of marijuana.
Thomas Dean, a 27-year-old
former architecture student from
Athens, Ala., was charged under
federal law with attempting to
distribute cocaine. He was released
from the Opelika jail Thursday after
it was discovered that he was in
violation of probation, according to
Judge James N. Baker.
"Probation was modified to re­quire
Dean to submit himself to a
reputable institution for treatment
and remain there until discharged
by doctors," said Baker who added
that he had just received confirma­tion
that Dean checked IntoHlll Crest
Hospital in Birmingham Friday.
"I'd rather have him up there for
treatment than down here in jail,"
Baker said.

Holography to add new scientific dimensions J ^003^*?
Every object undergoes stress.
Even pouring coffee into a cup
causes the cup to deform slightly
under the liquid's pressure. But
when you're talking about the bolts
that tie engines to aircraft, the
importance of knowing the stress
they undergo is vital.
That information may soon be
available through acoustical holo­graphy,
in which the information
stored in sound waves is used to
detect interior flaws. For the past
three years, Drs. Frank Swinson
and John Turner of Auburn have
been working on developing and
adapting equipment for this nonde­structive
method of testing for
stress. The implications for the
manufacturing and medical fields
are considerable, Swinson says.
"Acoustical holography enables
us to get information from inside an
object," says the mechanical-engi­neering
professor. "Are there any
cracks or other flaws? Will the
object be able to withstand the
pressure it's under when it is loaded
and for how long? These are just a
few of the things we can find out
through the use of holography."
Through holography, the light
rays reflected from an object are
used to reconstruct a picture of that
object on film. Two pictures are
taken of the object—one in the
unloaded state and one in the
deformed position; they are then
compared to see what kind of
deformation the object underwent.
Swinson and his co-investigator
are now attempting to do essentially
the same thing with acoustical
holography, using sound waves
rather than light waves. Because
sound waves bounce off the inside as
well as the surface, this method has
the potential for giving information
about the interior of an object, he
notes.
Although the idea of acoustical
holography is not a new one,
developing these concepts to the
point where they are usable is new.
And while the method is a complex
one, results thus far are en­couraging.
"The first step in acoustical
holography is to immerse the object
you want to examine in a fluid, such
as water, for conducting sound
waves," explains Swinson. "A high
powered speaker known as a trans­ducer
is then used to project
acoustic waves into the interior of
the object."
The object oscillates because of
the acoustic waves received and in
turn produce more acoustic waves
that vibrate the surface of the water.
These vibrations which contain
information about the tested ob­ject's
interior are collected by a
laser and are displayed on a screen.
There are several problems
associated with acoustical holo­graphy
which Swinson has yet to
overcome, one of the most signifi­cant
being to improve the image that
he gets from the acoustical infor­mation.
There are several ways in
which the quality of the images can
be improved, he says, including
optical filtering and computer fil­tering,
in which the information is
fed into a computer and then filtered
out.
A second concern of the research­er
is getting acoustical energy into
an object with sufficient intensity to
get the information he needs.
Yet another problem he faces is in
trying to develop the technology to
compare acoustic information be­fore
the object is deformed to
acoustic information after it is
deformed. Swinson sees definite
potential in this area.
The benefits of acoustical holo­graphy
to the manufacturing field
are obvious. The system, which
should be ready for use within the
next five to 10 years by Swlnson's
estimate, will mean savings in both

time and money for the industry.
The research may prove just as
crucial to the medical profession,
according to Swinson. It would
enable a physician to look at bone
difficulties, fractures, muscle tears
and tissue damage which would not

The 6Un9 fraternity
Gammas offer alternative to Greek life
By Kathy Jernigan
Plainsman Staff writer
They wanted a group of their own.
So they formed what some refer to as
the "un" fraternity-Gammas at
Lambda.
But Gammas at Lambda is not a
fraternal organization. Group lead­er
David Christian explained that
the Gammas were formed in Au­burn
about a year ago as "an
informal group that would have an
identity without all the crap and
hazing of an official fraternity."
Christian, a sophomore in archi­tecture,
said the Gammas pay no
dues and are not required to
conform to set rules or regulations,
such as attending meetings or
adhering to standard dress codes or
traditional activities.
Although Christian said the group
is not anti-fraternity in nature, it
was formed as a takeoff on the rigid
fraternities at most universities.
Gammas at Lambda began at the
University of Alabama when a
former fraternity member, Steve
Christian, David's brother, got fed
up with the rules and requirements
of his fraternity and decided to form
Reeder to take post as
director of admissions
Auburn University President
Hanly Funderburk has announced
that Dr. Charles F. Reeder, assoc­iate
registrar, will become director
of admissions Aug. 1.
Reeder succeeds Herbert N.
Hawk&is who recently retired from
public education to become head-
Reeder
master at Scott Preparatory School,
a private institution.
Reeder has served as associate
registrar since 1976. While com­pleting
work for his doctorate in
education from 1973-75 at Auburn,
he served as a graduate assistant in
admissions. Following that, he was
acting director of admissions and
records at Motlow State Community
College in Tullahoma, Term., for one
year before returning to Auburn.
Dean of Students Harold Grant,
who administers the area which
includes admissions, said he was
pleased to have received such a
large number of qualified applica­tions
from within the area of student
affairs.
"I am grateful for the efforts of
Dr. Wilbur Hinton of the music •
department, Dr. Rod Jenkins of civil
engineeringandDr. Charlotte Ward
of physics who served as a screening
committee and reviewed all of the
applications and made their
recommendations to me."
"We are fortunate to have such a
capable and experienced person in
Dr. Reeder to assume this impor­tant
post," said Grant.
Reeder, who is a native or
Lebanon, Term., received his bach­elor's
degree in health and physical
education and his master's in
educational administration from
Middle Tennessee State College.
He is professionally associated
with the state, regional and national
Associations of Collegiate Regi­strars
and Admissions Officers and
is a member of the educational
honor society, Phi Delta Kappa.
a group that could have parties ana
"brotherhood" without all the has-sels
involved with a fraternity.
"It was bound to happen," David
Christian said. "There are a lot of
people who have gotten fed up with
the requirements of frats, like the
rules that establish who you can
associate with, even if it's not in
writing. You have to party with
certain sororities even if you don't
like the group."
The Auburn group has about 10
members who were initiated at
parties held on campus and at
Tuscaloosa, the home base of the
organization, he said.
' 'We have parties that anyone can
come too," Christian said. "You
don't have to be a Gamma to come
and some fraternity members have
joined us at our parties. You don't
have to be in school to be a member
either."
He said Gammas are initiated at
the parties whenever they are held
and different initiation rites are
used at each party. "We've initiated
someone at almost every party,"
Christian said, adding, "The initia­tion
means something to each
member but it isn't as serious as
some other initiations I've heard
about."

party with the "un" fraternity.
David Morgan, a Sigma Nu *t
Auburn, is also a member of the
Gammas at Lambda. He said he
enjoys both groups and thinks the
Gammas at Lambda will grow.
And the "un" fraternity will have
to grow if it is to rival the 29
fraternities at Auburn with 1,880
members this year.
' 'The Gammas are just a bunch of
guys who like to get together and
have a good time,' * Morgan said.' 'It
began with some guys from Annis-ton
who keep in close touch with each
other and now it has grown and
spread out across the campus."
Joe Howie, a junior in marine
biology, who was recently initiated
into the Gammas at Auburn, said he
joined the group after deciding he
wanted a group to party with, but he
didn't want to be a member of the
fraternity his father was in while in
college.
"My dad was a Sig Ep but I didn't
want to be sub jected to the rules, like
if you miss a meetingyou have to pay
a fine or the dues you pay just to be a '
member," Howie said. "I had a
friend who changed into a super
prep overnight, but in the Gammas
"That's what the Gammas are
all abend. Just a bunch of people
getting together and having a
good time."
"We give silver safety pins to our
pledges and then they are given a
gold safety pin after they are
initiated. I guess our name and the
pins, which are bought at most any
store, are a symbol of the difference
between our organization and a
fraternity," he said.
Christian said the Gamma pled­ges
are not mistreated or put
through "hell" week. He described
one incident in which the Gammas'
group president" dropped a cup of
beer at a party and one of the pledges
ran to clean it up. Christian said the
president told the pledge not to,
because the Gammas don't treat
pledges differently. The president
cleaned up the beer himself.
Christian said the total Gamma
membership is about 60. He said that
many of the members are from the
University of Alabama.but there are
members at Jacksonville State and
you can be yourself and nobody will
put you down for it."
The Gammas at Lambda don't
have an official house, but the group
meets for parties at the home of
members or the group leader,
Christian said, who has had several
parties at his trailer in Auburn.
Christian said the . Gammas at
Tuscaloosa have parties in a large,
three-bedroom house in which some
of the Gammas live.
The Gamma parties at Auburn
this year included a toga party for
which two of the brothers sold
T-shirts inscribed, "I survived the
Gamma toga party."
"These two brothers designed
and then bought the shirts to sell for
their own profit,'' Christian explain­ed.

party usually pitch in, too.' Christian
added that some of the parties get
"pretty wild."
And like many social groups, the
Gammas have a mascot who re­flects
the spirit of the brotherhood.
Wilma, a headless seamstress dum­my,
attends all the Gamma parties,
Christian said. In fact, Wilma is one
of the most popular dance partners
at the parties, according to reports
in the "Gamma Ray," a newsletter
printed in Tuscaloosa.
Christian said the newsletter,
which is written by the executive
council in Tuscaloosa and sent to
brothers, is a recap of the party
events and now includes, "What's
happening with Wilma?"
The executive council is the only
formal leadership for the group,
Christian said. He said the council
includes the Gamma president, vice
president, secretary, treasurer, and
rush-social chairman.
He explained that although there
is a rush chairman, the Gammas do
not specifically recruit members,
but try to invite people they consider
"Gamma material" to the parties.
Howie said, "That's what the
Gammas are all about. Just a bunch
of people getting together and
having a good time." He said the
group has several little sisters who
are voted in by the brothers.
"The little sisters help out at
parties but they aren't required to
do anything they don't want to do,"
Howie said.
And the Gammas have their own
inventions. Christian said the hu­man
beer fountain was invented at
one of the parties.
"It all began when one person
spilled some beer on someone else
and then everyone started pouring
beer over the brothers' heads at the
end of every party," he said.
And perhaps the "un" fraternity
is the start of something big at
Auburn. Afterall, Seven-Up wasonca
known as the "un" cola.

New enrollment policy
On April 14, this past spring, Auburn
President Hanly Funderburk announced
Auburn was preparing to institute a policy for
limiting enrollment for next fall quarter. "Our
resources are such that we haven't been able to
hire people to take care of the increase in
incoming freshmen," Funderburk explained
at the time.
Two groups, for two distinct reasons,
immediately protested Funderburk's action.
Petitions by different departments at Auburn
were circulated protesting the lack of faculty
input on the subject. Out-of-state students
who had yet to apply were expectedly angry by
the new policy which limited acceptances to
those out-of-state applicants with alumni
relatives (immediate family.)
Funderburk never intended that policy to be
permanent and with the reaction, especially
from the faculty, an enrollment committee,
headed by Dr. Taylor Littleton, vice president
for academic affairs, was formed to purpose a
general future admissions policy to the
Admissions office.
The committee is dominated by faculty
members but also includes two students, SGA
President Rip Britton and SGA Executive
Secretary Beth Johnson.
Much of the committee's concerns for future
enrollment policy may be solved by the recent
tuition hike, but nonetheless the committee
needs to keep several things in mind as it
prepares its recommendations.
First, it must make students, faculty and
enrolling students aware of the need to limit
enrollment, if that situation indeed does arise,
by making the groups aware of the need to
lessen classroom sizes and ease monetary
problems. For that, the committee is
responsible for making known reasons behind
its decisions.
The committee must also recognize the
potential influence of its recommendations.
For instance, in the middle of an extremely
important fund-raising effort, the capital fund
drive, it must avoid offending large blocks of
alumni, potential revenue sources for Auburn.
Also steps need to be taken to ensure the
status of in-state students remains consistent
with the requirements of Auburn's status as a
land-grant university.
Finally it is up to students, and faculty
members, to make sure their input is heard by
the committee members (a list of members
appears in a front-page story.) Members of the
University community have a responsibility to
future members of the same community to
make their opinions known on a subject of this
importance.
If all these things are kept in mind as the
process goes along, maybe the fallout after a
new enrollment policy is reached will be
considerably less than last April.
Baseball's future
' 'This would have never happened if Bowie
Kuhn were still alive."
That is how one sportswriter described the
now month-old baseball strike. As much as
anything else the situation has boiled down to
just that—a comedy.
On one day we have owners all ready to
propose what they term is a major break­through,
yet on the evening news we see player
representatives leaving the negotiating tables
saying the owners' proposal was nothing of
substance.
And it would be funny, were it not such a sad
situation. Baseball, the game able to withstand
major scandle in 1919 when Chicago White Sox
players confessed to having fixed the World
Series) and even the New York Yankees has
been felled by a labor dispute that would have
Gneral Motors labor negotiating teams
laughing.
And the strike has hurt. Mayor Maynard
Jackson of Atlanta has estimated the strike is
costing his city some $14,000 a day. This is
acommonsituation to many cities and especially
Cleveland, who stands to lose several million
dollars if next week's All-Star game is canceled.
This doesn't take into account the myriad of
stadium employees and groundskeepers and
the restaurant waiter whose business is located
near the stadium and is too losing out.
The big loser, as every newspaper in the
country has surely pointed out by now are the
fans of the game. In Auburn, it has been a
tradition since 1966 for students to travel to
Braves games during the spring and summer
(alas the Braves were usually eliminated before
fall quarter.) That is gone for now and the
rumblings around campus, though by no
means deafening, are there. Auburn students
miss baseball.
Were thestrike to end soon the big rhetorical
question would be: Will /Can baseball ever be
the same game that it was when stadiums had
real grass, players real sincerity and owners real
intelligence?
The answer is an unequivacoble yes, for one
reason. The strike has given a dose of reality to
fans across the nation. It' s their game, not some
singing cowboy's, some huge newspaper's and
not a bunch of prima-donna athletes! The fans
will never let the game get out of hand like it has
in past years.
Baseball fans need to wake up and realize
that. The game cannot afford it if they don't.
Off campus? Plan ahead
"Youknowhowitis.Youhave finally found
a place to live; you've got everything squared
away. It' s your first apartment and you're really
excited. Privacy. You can do what you want to
do. You're not thinking about nine months,
12 months later..."
Smith Jackson of housing, said this type of
zealousness is one of the main reasons many
students get in trouble with rental properties,
in this week's second installment of the

two-part Plainsman series on off-campus
housing.
"I don't want anybody to think Auburn
landlords are just a bunch of people trying to
getyour money," headded, "They're not. But
there are some."
That is the problem with off-campus
housing in the Auburn area for many students
though; the vast majority of landlords are
hard-working, honest people; there are some
who give the rest a bad name.
Jackson offers students hints in how to
protect their interests in their housing. For
instance, photograph or record the condition
of your unit before you move in, and let the
landlord have that as a record to hold against
any claims he may make against your deposit.
The best thing for students to keep in mind,
though, is to plan ahead and assume nothing.
Off-campus housing can only become a hassle
if the student is not prepared.

Four years ago Fred Silverman was given free
reign of NBC to turn the struggling third-place
network into a ratings leader. Last week he
resigned as the head of a still struggling
third-place NBC.
Grant Tinker, president of MTM Productions,
has been announced as Silverman's successor.
Tinker will be hard pressed to tap the jugular of
America as poorly as Silverman has in his years
as network chief.
Remember it was Silverman who gave the
"classics" "Hello Larry" and "Supertrain,"
("Loveboat" on tracks). Silverman, though, will
still cast a long shadow over programming for at
least the next year for it was he, not the incoming
Tinker, who planned the new fall lineup for NBC.
It is a lineup full of changes and dramatic
moves that probably, had Silverman been able to
hang on for another year, would have insured
NBCapieceoftheratings pie and Silverman the
glory that was his atABC and CBS.
One of the major changes Silverman had in
mind was to change the format of the nightly
news program. With the enormous popularity of
Silverman's only real NBC success, "Real
People," the news would be modified to include
at least one feature on an unusual animal and two
features on some out-of-the-ordinary activity by
some odd person.
The anchorman, now John Chancellor, was to
be replaced by three people who wore loud
offensive suits and wrote awful poetry.
Tinker, though, has scrapped a part of those
plans.
A list of NBC's fall programming includes
many new Silverman additions, though.
John
Parish
t ,.
Three of those additions are comedy sitcoms
resurrecting shows of the past. One of these is
the slightly modified "Hillbilly Drysdales,"
where Mr. and Mrs. Milburn Drysdale declare
bankruptcy and move to the hills of Tennessee.
Also resurrected is the new "Leave It To
Beaver," featuring the Beaver returning home
from the Vietnam War and being yelled at
because everyone thought he had been killed.
Another comedy program from the more
recent past will be the "All New Saturday Night
Live." The show's new host is Tom Snyder who
has a running gag with other cast members of not
understanding any of the jokes.
To replace Snyder on the "Tomorrow Show"
will be rock musician Ted Nugent, of whom
Silverman praised, "He's the only person we
could get who always stays up that late. He also
acts a lot like Tom, not using verbs in his
sentences and all that."
Silverman also has planned an answer to the
"Dallas" craze that centers around a family in the
city of its title, "Montgomery." The action is
based on an upper-class Alabama legislator and
his family who fervently pour private funds into
international terrorism.
At least one variety show was also planned for
the fall campaign, this one to be hosted by former
Vice President Walter Mondale. Mondale will
feature varied entertainment alternatives
including Tip the dancing bear and one game
with former President Jimmy Carter giving
away billions of free dollars.
And speaking of game shows, Silverman has
some changes planned for daytime program­ming
too. One new game show has former cast
members of "Hogan's Heroes" competing
against each other by guessing audience
responses to a myriad of mundane questions.
Another morning change will be to introduce
what Silverman calls the "good news soap
opera." Appropriately entitled "The Good News
Soap Opera," it features a format of a typical
household where absolutely nothing ever goes
wrong. Fans normally treated to deaths,
diseases and divorces are now able to view
families whose concerns are how to spend
inherited fortunes and to which college, Harvard
or Yale, should they send their kid.
Silverman has also added one new Saturday
morning cartoon to his potentially powerful
lineup. "This is one of those old-fashionec
cartoons," said Silverman, "where cats are
deformed by irons tossed at them, and animals'
faces are badly misshapened by running into
rakes, trees, etc."
Silverman hopes the new fall lineup at NBC is
a success, "because it would make the guys that
fired me look stupid," and because, "I'm going to
need a new job pretty soon."

WEGL in danger of violating license
The last of a group of old friends appears to be
dying. Gandalf s and Above Ground Records
were killed around the beginning of my
sophomore year. WAUD drowned in the mire of
middle-of-the-road music somewhere during
that time. Now it appears that the last
entertainment alternative, WEGL, is dying too.
At the end of last quarter, I began hearing
from friends at the station that the cancer of
top-40 music was trying to take over. I didn't feel
that it could do so, so I didn't write anything
then. I wish I had.
Greg Pitts, the new station manager, has
taken a survey run by a speech class and used it
to make some changes in WEGL. The most
drastic change made as a result was to change
the traditional album oriented rock (AOR)
format of the mainstream music to one that is
more top-40 oriented.
A quick look at the summer program guide
will show some of the other changes that have
been made.
1. "Classical Overtures" is now presented only
on Mondays from 7-9 p.m.
2. "Jazz in the Afternoon" has been moved to a
new time slot, 1-3 p.m.
3. The entire weekend schedule has been
shuffled around and includes two new shows. I
question the name Night Dance for one of them
since it brings to my mind the image of some
sleazy disco station operating out of New York.
4. The area's only 30-minute comprehensive
news show was axed.
While all of these changes are not bad, there
are some objections.
I must object to the addition of top 40 to the
format. WEGL is an alternative programming
station. In order to legally exercise the rights for
its license, it must provide an alternative to
other programming locally available.
Top 40 is not an alternative. It is available on
several other stations. Pitts feels that the
addition of top 40 will increase listenership and
make WEGL the area's number one station.
Possibly not too much thought was given to the
alternative programming provision.
If you look at the summer program guide, you
will quickly see the following:
1. Sixty percent of the total programming on
WEGL is the new brand of mainstream.
2. Seventy-five percent of Monday's through
Thursday's programming is the new main­stream.
3. Fifty-five percent of Friday's programming
is the new mainstream.
4. Fifty percent of Saturday's and two percent
of Sunday's programming is the new main­stream.
In view of this, I find it very hard to suppress a
laugh every time I hear the alternative
programming I.D. being played.
Bake
Powers
What is even more ironic, in light of Pitt's
desire to bring top 40 to the station in order to
increase its ratings, is the fact that two local
radio stations are moving to adopt WEGL's old
format, AOR. WHHY and WFRI are under­taking
the expensive move to adopt an AOR
format. You can already hear the difference in
WHHY and will be doing so shortly at WFRI.
I am given to understand that Pitts is
planning to undertake even more changes fall
quarter. I hope he will make them with the fact
firmly in mind that WEGL is coming up for
license renewal, and all letters and articles such
as this column will be reviewed by the FCC.
If you have a comment to make on the
operation or programming of WEGL, or any part
of this column, write Pitts. The address is:

Letters written to the station will be placed in

interested who presents himself during regular
business hours.
As for myself, I will continue to listen to jazz
andLARS Other than that, I think I will turn my
antenna toward Atlanta. There is always plenty
of good jazz, classical and rock there.

What you missed July 4
Being an out-of-state resident, I usually have
to spend weekends in the loveliest village while
everyone.else takes off to see his parents. I look
forward to such weekends because it's then I get
to experience the wild side of Auburn.
So what happened while you were away?
Friday morning at 10:30 a.m., I woke up. I
watched the last half hourof "The Price is Right"
and then took a shower. I went to lunch and then
played pinball.
Friday night at 6:30 p.m., I ate dinner. At 10
p.m. a few friends and I watched brief nudity on
HBO-the highlight of the evening. After the
movie I was awakened and then went to play
pinball.
The rest of my weekend went along as
swimmingly as the first day with the only other
highlights being listening to a country band play
disco music at Lake Claydo and catching
Wrestling II on a video taped replay (which, by
the way, marks his return to championship
wrestling).
While my excitement-filled days were being
had, Auburn citizens were handling some
excitment of their own.
The Knights of the Loyal Rednecks, Local 304,
took it upon themselves to conduct a parade
down the concourse. The parade was complete
with colorful dancing midgets, motorized
wheelchairs and a topless belly dancers.
The Antelopes Lodge held its annual "Fourth
of July Around the World" celebration.
Festivities included the Japanese exhibit where
visitors could throw firecrackers at a three-foot
replica of the battleship Midway, the European
exhibit where visitors could throw insults at
American dollars and the Soviet Union exhibits
where visitors could throw hammers at Polish
people.
The Daughters of the American Independence
held their "Little Animals Barbecue" in which
each member hunts for a little animal and
barbecues it.
Auburn's Rebel Little League had a small
jamboree honoring the great American pastime,
baseball. On this occasion all the players that
were on strike came down to play a special
All-Star game without even being paid for it.
However, Pete Rose still didn't get his record
hit.
Neighboring Loachapoka held the fourth-annual
Rotation Club 1950s sock hop. Between
dance sessions the Rotation Club announced Jan
Dave
Bean
Clubman as the winner of the "Ugliest Date
Contest." The event was highlighted, however,
by the showing of 3-D pornographic films in the
janitors' quarters of the Loachapoka High
School gym.
To be perfectly honest not all these events
actually happened the way I said they were.
The Polish people were actually Czechoslava-kian,
and Pete Rose didn't get his hit because he
was in the stands.
As for myself, I spent the bulk of my time
fishingonLakeClaydo.Ididn't catch much, but I
came home loaded with some huge fish stories.
Pass ERA?
Write Heflin
Editor, The Plainsman,
This letter is written to express thanks to
Judith Lewis for reminding us time is of the
essence if we are to achieve passage of the ERA.
Now it is up to all of us who see the desirability to
get to work, and get the job done.
One way to begin is to start calling or writing
to our Alabama politicians. Sen. Jeremiah
Denton is a lost cause, as he is a total opponent of
women's rights and equality. However, contacts
with Sen. Howell Heflin and the Alabama
members of the U.S. House of Representatives
might well move the process along.
We who have been working on crucial
women's issues this year have found that letters
and calls can make a crucial difference. They are
not all the measures we need to take, but they
are a beginning.
It is too easy to forget this in an age of cynicism
and political apathy.
Michael S. Lit tie ford
Foundations of Education
Editor, The Plainsman,,
I am leaving Auburn University in August,
after one year of service as Hudson Professor in
the mathematics department. In September,
I shall go back to work at my old job, as a
Distinguished Professor in the City University
of New York.
In a way it is strange I am going back to New
York. New York has its well-known troubles.
My job here was supposed to be permanent, and
I thought of it as such, only a few months ago.
Living and working in the mathematics
department here has been a pleasure in every
way I hoped it would be at the time I arrived.
I like my students here. I have enjoyed the
company of my colleagues, as scholars and. as
friends. I shall miss them - some of them very
much. I had a reasonable teaching load - two
five-hour courses a week, I enjoyed all my
classes. My pay was good, probably as good as
any in the School of Arts and Sciences.
Nevertheless, something is very wrong in
Auburn. The state of Alabama seems to
begrudge money for higher education and for
the Auburn campus in particular. To make a bad
matter worse, I can see no evidence that the
administration attaches any value to the high
scholarly quality of the mathematics depart­ment,
or appreciates its excellent teaching.
Whatever the reasons, the teaching condi­tions
and the pay for nearly all the members of
the mathematics department here are well
below the standards for comparable depart­ments
in the region, and the standards of the
region are already low.
As far as I can see, the only things that have
held the mathematics department together so
far are a friendly sense of colleagueship and a
shared devotion to education. I believe that the
sensitivity and brilliancy of the departmental
administration have also been a big help, both in
creating this group and in preserving it.
But I wonder how long this situation can last. I
see a real danger - perhaps a probability - that in
the next few years, the people who can leave will
do so.
If there were any sign of creative leadership in
the University administration, then it might be
rational to stay and hope for the best. But there is
none, as far as I can see. At the end of the spring
...Math head differs
Editor, The Plainsman,
I think I can speak for the entire mathematics
department when I express our extreme
disappointment in Dr. Edwin E. Moise's
departure from Auburn University. Moise,
former James Conant Professor of mathematics
and education at Harvard University, past
president of the Mathematical Association of
America, past vice-president of the American
Mathematical Society, added a luster to our
faculty that we shall sorely miss.
In addition to his background, his credentials
and his name, he had during this year
contributed his high devotion to scholarship and
teaching that has further stimulated his
colleagues to excel in research and in the
classroom. It is fitting that he should explain his
reasons for his departure.
I must beg to offer alternatives or supple­ments
to some statements in his letter. I believe
that the Auburn University administration has
, demonstrated that it has some appreciation for
the "high scholarly quality of the mathematics
. department" and "its excellent teaching."
For one thing, we were aided considerably in
our efforts last year to recruit Moise. The
administration has also been generally sup­portive
of the faculty's requests for leave.
The administration has been very helpful in
our efforts this year to attract a distinguished
mathematician and teacher, Dr. F. Burton Jones
of the University of California at Riverside, to
visit us next year. This is not the first time we
have had administrative support for extended
visits by prominent mathematicians.
It is true, however, our teaching loads are
excessive, our salaries are several thousand
dollars lower than those published in the
"Chronicle of Higher Education" and reprinted
in last week's Plainsman, our classes are too
large and our offices are too crowded.
My own opinion, notwithstanding the above,
is that five to 10 years from now, Auburn
University will still have a strong mathematics
department. I hope we will not lose any more of
our best professors. Although Moise's reasons
for leaving are certainly understandable, not all
apply equally to other members of the faculty,
and many of us have invested too many years and
too much work to allow the results of our efforts
to be negated by what we hope are temporary
adversities.

Head,Department of Mathematics
quarter, President Hanly Funderburk address­ed
three meetings of the general faculty, and one
meeting of the local chapter of the American
Association of University Professors. On all
these occasions, his main theme was the gross
budget of the University, as compared with past
years and as compared with the budgets of
comparable institutions in the region. If by any
chance he has any understanding of the nature,
the work, and the value of a scholarly university,
he was keeping his thoughts to himself.
A person of this kind inspires no confidence as
a leader in the University's work. And for the
same reasons, he inspires no confidence as our
spokesman with the Legislature. When he tries
to speak to us, he cuts a wretchedly inadequate-figure.
How might he do better when he tries to
speak for us, to theLegislatureand the people? It
is hard to sell a product that you do not
understand.
Another difficulty is Dr. Funderburk's
conception of the role that he should play, vs. the
faculty. A resolution of protest against this
was passed by a substantial majority, at a
meeting of the general faculty on May 19.
According to the resolution, "...the president
of Auburn University has repeatedly made
policy and procedural decisions without approp­riate
consultation or communication with
constitutionally established faculty agencies..."
The majority expressed its "extreme displea­sure"
with this, and urged to stop doing it.
At that meeting, and at the two following
meetings, not even one person denied, or even
questioned, the accuracy of the factual
statements made in the resolution. Dr.
Funderburk might have denied them. Or he
might have claimed that his conduct, in his first
and harried year in office, did not fairly
represent his sense of the fitness of things.
He did neither. Rather, he talked repeatedly
about team play. It occurred to me that if I
wanted to please him, then the next time we met
I should address him as coach. This would be only
slightly more ridiculous than some of the things
that have already happened here in recent
months.
Edwin E. Moise
'Superman II' offensive
Editor, The Plainsman,
I recently viewed approximately the first half
of the movie entitled, "Superman II." After
hearing the favorable opinions of many, I
decided a change in entertainment would be
pleasurable. I found the early part of the movie
quite enjoyable, even though there were
occasions in which I found myself turned because
of sexual connotations and mild profanity.
Approximately halfway through the movie,
during a scene on a backwoods dirt road, an
overweight, comical sheriff found himself in a
position where his office of authority and
patience were both being highly tried. In the
course of the movie, a shotgun discharged in the
chest of the leading Krypton villain rendering
him no harm. In amazement the sheriff said,
"Jesus H. Christ," (in the eyes of the world a
perfect accentuation for the occasion).
I am not surprised to find out that later in the
movie, Superman "hopped in the sack" with
Lois. A previously written commentary on the
movie informed me of this.
I have not written this to create disputation,
but simply in hope that the eyes of professing
Christians may read it and ask themselves an
ever important question:
How can I profess Jesus Christ as my Lord and
Savior and then blissfully sit and listen to his
name blatantly profaned?

right then and there,
i Jackson suggested that prospec­tive
tenants, when looking for a
placetorent, "talk to the people that
live there and ask questions like,
'Does your landlord make repairs ?'.
For someone who wants to socia­lize,
renting a unit next to the
stairwell is a good choice," he said.
Jackson also explained some of
the rights and privileges of a
landlord about inspecting a tenant's
unit.
"Henry Henderson's interpre­tation
of the standard Alabama
lease states: 'Privacy, (paragraph
8), gives the landlord the right to
inspect the premises and furniture
furnished by landlord, upon reason­able
notice...A landlord will be
trespassing if he enters the pre­mises
with a pass key, without
notice, without there being a
genuine emergency, for any reason
other than to show the apartment to
a prospective renter or buyer under
the terms of paragraph 16.'
"Paragraph 16 of that standard
Alabama lease does permit showing
the apartment any time to a
prospective renter within three
months of lease expiration date, or
at any time to a prospective buyer,''
said Jackson.
"Some leases give the landlord
the right to inspect the premises any
time. This is a broad statement and
it has not been tested in court. You
want to look for that in your lease.
We don't hear about that being a
problem. And the laws are more
toward nobody can go into your
rented place if you have a lease.
"(Sometimes the) landlord goes
into (units)-particularly trailers,
becuase they have those pipes that
(can be damaged) if they don't have
underpinning,'' Jackson said. ' 'The
landlord might go in there and may
Parking zones

Parking zones ha ve'been changed
in two areas for the summer
quarter, Security Office Chief Mil­lard
B. Dawson said Monday.
The nursing schoql parking lot has
been changed to zone A parking
because the nursing school is not in
session this summer, Dawson said.
The residential parking lot at
Haley Center has been changed
from zone B to zone C. According to
Dawson, the zone B was not needed
because of the small number of quad
residents this summer.
cut your heat on and may turn your
faucet on so that water will drip so
that his pipes won't burst.
"Now the tenant's responsible for
the pipes. Still the landlord doesn't
want that hassle .I've heard that this
has happened," he said.
Jackson said trouble with getting
deposits back is the most frequent
reason a tenant goes to Small Claims
Court. "There have been a few cases
(awarded to the tenant) he said.
"Some girls moved into an apart­ment
and when they moved in their
parents were there. And when they
moved out some of their parents
were there.
"So (when) the landlord took the
whole deposit, at least a good
proportion of it, it really became an
issue to these parents. They were
angry, so they went to court,"
Jackson said. "It took a year for the
judge to decide.
"They finally subpoenaed the
records of the landlord and found
that the damages (the landlord) had
charged these girls for, the landlord
had charged the three previous
tenants for also. Same damages,"
he said.
"It's rare that happens. But (the
students') parents were there; they
had witnesses." Jackson said, "If
students would just list (the dam­ages),
take pictures even, (before
they move in) and send this to the
landlord, it becomes part of the
lease.
"You know how it is. You have
finally found a place to live; you've
got everythingsquared away. It's
your first apartment and you're
really excited. Privacy. You can do
what you want to do. You're not
thinking about nine months, 12
months later, getting your deposit
back," Jackson said.
But if the student does have
trouble in getting back the deposit
and chooses to go to Small Claims
Court, there are expenses to con­sider,
Jackson said. "If you go to
Small Claims Court you have to pay
the attorney at least $50 to settle the
dispute if litigation is not required.
The attorney's awarded $35 per hour
if litigation is required."
When asked if the landlord can hold
out part of the deposit for stamps in
mailing letters to his tenants,
Jackson said, "I don't think he can
do that. Deposit means any money
required by the landlord as a
condition of the rental of residential
units, in addition to the regular
payment of rent made by the
tenant."
Jackson said "Now that we're
reducing enrollment from out of
state, off-campus housing may be
looser than it's ever been. So this is
going to have a big impact.
"I've never called a landlord that
didn't really want to talk with me,''
he said. "It was like, 'Hey, some­body
in the University has been told
we're not doing things just as
properly as we should.' I've always
gotten pretty good response from
the landlords," he said.
"I don't want anybody to think
Auburn landlords are just a bunch of
people trying to get your money.
They're not. But there are some," he
said.' 'And it's kind of human nature
to go as far as you can to make a
profit."
As a suggestion for the tenant who
wants to get back his full deposit,
provided there are no damages to
the place, Jackson said, "I would
write to the landlord and say 'I've
vacated and I request an itemized
list of the charges against my
deposit.' And keep a copy of it and
that way if he doesn't refund the
deposit in 35 days or then give you a

Ron O'Neal
By Phillip Paramore
Plainsman Sportswriter
Bobby Bowden, Florida State
head football coach, charged that
Auburn had tampered with one of his
signees. Alumni and fans from both
Auburn and FSU bickered with each
other. Then Michigan and Ohio State
came into the picture, and after
that. USC and Georgia got involved.
There has probably never been an
incoming freshman to ever cause so
much controversy and publicity at
Auburn. It is for good reason. He is a
5-foot-10 inch, 247-pound fullback
from Atlanta who runs the 100-yard
dash in 10.3 seconds, and the 40-yard
dash in 4.6 seconds.
Ron O'Neal signed a letter of
intent with FSU months ago. How­ever,
after the coaches there in­formed
him he would be their
replacement for graduated Ail-
American nose guard Ron Sim­mons,
he abruptly changed his mind
about where he wanted to go to
school.
"They told me I might be able to
startatnoseguard. Theysaidlhada
chance to make it in pro ball at that
position, but I just didn't want to
play there. So I changed my mind,"
said O'Neal.
He was not finished talking about
Florida State.
"It turned into a really nasty
situation. Reporters were always
hanging around or calling my house
and my friends. Their alumni
started asking questions. I don't
have anything against FSU. They
have a good program, and it is a good
school. I simply did not want to play
noseguard."
When a player of his caliber is
unhappy with the school selection,
word travels fast. Auburn assistant
coach Frank Young knew about it.
"We had just about given up on
Ron after he had signed. Michigan
and Ohio State were recruiting him
really hard and we had heard he was
having second thoughts about Flori­da
State. So, I just went over there
one day and shot straight from the
hip with him and I told him he would
have a shot at playing fullback."
O'Neal said Florida State was
already out of the picture, regard­less
of the nasty reports concerning
stealing him from Florida State.
"I had already decided I wasn't
going there. I really was leaning
toward Michigan. I thought about1
Georgia, too, but all they wanted me
to do was 'block forHerschel, block
for Herschel.' One day after I talked
to Coach Young, I just decided to
drive over here. I never even had an
official visit. I just fell in love with
Dye excited about upcoming football season
By Brian Love
Plainsman Sports Editor
With summer practice almost a
month away, Pat Dye appears eager
to get his team ready for his first
season as Auburn's head coach.
Probably the biggest concern to
Auburn fans after the spring game
was the kicking game but Dye
doesn't think it's as bad as people
think.
"I think our kicking game has a
chance of being good. I think
everything looks sound except for
our punting. Alan Bollinger, the
punter that was here last year, was
inconsistent late in the spring. I've
talked with Alan and he's going to
work hard on becoming a consistent
punter. He's planning to visit a guy
in Florida that is supposed to be the
best kicking coach in the country. If
hecan'tget consistent,we'11 have to
find one that we can count on kicking
the ball consistently 38 to 42 yards.''
The defense, if lining up today,
would start Dowe Aughtman at
noseguard, Edmund Nelson and
Donnie Humphrey at the tackles,
Scott Riley, Zac Hardy, Quency
Williams or Jeff Jackson at the ends,
Danny Skutack and Chris Martin at
the linebackers, Johnny Cheeks and
Tim Drinkard at the cornerbacks
and Bob Harris and Darryl Wilks at
the safeties.
The secondary, a big concern in
the past, caught Dye's attention
during the spring.
"The secondary made more im­provement
this spring than any one
phase of our football team. I like
GregTutt, Johnny Cheeks and Tim
Drinkard, who probably had the
best spring of anybody in the
secondary. They don't have great
ability but they'll be solid little
football players.
' 'Darryl Wilks and Bob Harris are
two solid safeties. I think Darryl has
a chance at being a great one, and
Bob Harris does, too.
"Our secondary is a combination
of a lot of people with marginal
talent that will work hard and have a
chance at being winning players
back there."
However, Dye feels there is talent
in the rest of the defense.
"We have a chance at having two
real fine defensive tackles in Ed­mund
Nelson and Donnie Hum­phrey.
Both potentially are all-star
players.
"Danny Skutack and unris Mar­tin,
of course, are out in front of
everybody at linebacker. I think
they're two fine football players."
Auburn golfers, signees are below par
in Southern Junior Golf Tournament
By Bill iVagnon
Plainsman Sportswriter
Two sophomore golfers and four
new recruits of Coach Sonny
Dragoin's Auburn University golf
team participated in the 12th
Southern Junior Invitational last
week at Saugahatchee Country
Club.
Competing in the three-day tourn­ament
on the par-72 Saugahatchee
course were sophomores Mike
Smith and Kirk Walden and new
recruits Bubba Burford of Houston,
Texas, Eric Hamilton of Anniston,
Mike Howard of Fort Walton Beach,
Fla, and Steve Strickland of Mont­gomery.
Burford, a two-time private
school state champion, finished the
highest of the Auburn golfers with a
four-over-par 220, which was good
for third in the 17-18 age group and
fifth overall. Burford was the
first-day leader with a three-under
69.
Walden, a former Indian Pines
tournament champion, finished
fourth in the 17-18 age group and
sixth overall with a eight-over 224.
Hamilton, who has participated in
the World Junior Championship in
San Diego, Calif, and is a two-year
high school section medalist, finish­ed
sixth in the 17-18 age group and
seventh overall.
Strickland, a former state junior
champion, finished eighth in the
17-18 age group and 10th overall.
Smith, last year's overall winner
as a 17-year-old, finished a disap­pointing
15-over, erasing any hopes
of back-to-back championships.
Howard skyed to an 87 on the final
day, dropping him from the cham­pionship
picture.
Also competing in this year's
tournament was Brett Dye, son of
Auburn' s football coach and athletic
director, who finished sixth in the
13-14 age group.
When the tournament started,
Smith had a chance to do what only
one other golfer had done at the
Southern Junior; win it twice. Bob i
Dumas is the only one to do so,
winning the tournament in 1969,1971
and 1972.
Past winners who went on to play
golf for Auburn were: Danny Ives,
the winner in 1970; Jim Becker in
1973; and Stewart Rumph in 1975.

an important clog in Auburn's wish­bone

Tigers face Cornhuskers,
in year's second road trip
By Brain Love^
Plainsman Sports Editor
Auburn's fourth opponent last fall
was the Richmond Spiders who were
beaten 55-16, but don't expect the
Tigers to have that kind of contest in
this year's fourth game.
The perennial high-ranking Ne­braska
Cornhuskers will meet the
Tigers on Oct. 3 in Lincoln.
Nebraska, which finished 10-2 last
year including a 31-17 Sun Bowl
victory against Mississippi State,
has met Auburn only once, winning
13-7 in the 1963 Orange Bowl.
The schedule should favor the
Tigers although they play Tennes­see
on the previous week. Nebraska
must meet powerful Florida State
and Penn State on the two previous
weekendsbefore playing the Tigers.
Possibly the biggest problem for
Cornhusker head coach Tom Os­borne
is rebuilding an offense that
averaged 39.2 points a game, scor­ing
50 points or more four times.
L.ast year, I-back Roger Craig
(6 foot-2, 202-pound junior) was
second in scoring in the Big 8 despite
playing as a backup to Ail-American
Jarvis Redwine. He also rushed for
796 yards on 108 carries.
Phil Bates (6-foot-2, 211-pound
senior) will replace departed start­er
Andra Franklin at fullback.
A big problem will be replacing
quarterback Jeff Quinn who led the
Big Eight in passing. More than
likely Turner Gill (5-foot-ll, 185-
pound sophomore) or Nate Mason
(6-foot, 190-pound junior) will be the
starter.
Little-used Jamie Williams (6-
foot-5, 225-pound junior) must re­place
Jeff Finn at tight end. Last
year, Williams caught only one
pass.
The strongest part of the offense is
the line with 6-foot-2, 254-pound
junior Dave Rimington at center
and 6-foot-2, 271-pound senior Dan
Hurley and 6-foot-3, 257-pound jun­ior
Randy Theiss, both at tackle,
returning.
But Osborne must replace both
guards with Brad Johnson (6-foot-3,
238-pound junior), Mike Mendelko
(6-foot-l, 242-pound junior) and
Dean Steinkuhler (6-foot-3, 247-
pound sophomore) leading the way.
Another strong spot for Nebraska
this year will be at receivers with
wingback Antony Steels (5-foot-9,
190-pound senior) and split end Todd
Brown (6-foot, 172-pound junior)
returning. Steels caught 13 passes
for 222 yards while Brown caught 28
for 416 yards last year.
Osborne must be happy with eight
players returning on a defense that
gave up only 9.2 points per game in
1980.
Noseguard Curt Hineline (6-foot-
3, 242-pound senior) returns along
with tackles Toby Williams (6-foot-
4, 250-pound junior) and Henry
Waechter (6-foot-6, 267-pound
senior).
Williams' brother Jimmy (6-foot-
3, 225-pound senior) returns at one
end. He was named Defensive
Player of the Sun Bowl last year.
The other end will be either Dave
Ridedr (6-foot-l, 202-pound junior)
or Todd Spratte (6-foot-3, 223-pound
sophomore).
Although only one starter returns,
linebacking will be in good shape
with starter Steve Demkroger (6-
foot-1,226-pound junior) and letter-man
Steve McWhirter (6-foot-2,
227-pound junior) returning.
Rodney Lewis (6-foot, 189-pound
senior) and Ric Lundquist (5-foot-9,
177-pound senior) return at the
corners while starting safety Sam­my
Simms (6-foot, 184-pound
senior) will be joined by Jeff Krejci
(6-foot, 175-pound junior).
Placekicker Kevin Seibel who
kicked 52 of 54 extra points and 6 of 8
field goals returns will probably
punt also.
Dye From page 7
got hurt again in the spring game
and really hasn't earned the position
which the quarterback has to do. Joe
Sullivan had a good spring but he
was hurt the last 10 days so he didn't
earn the job. The guy who had the
best spring was Randy Campbell.
Randy needs to be bigger and
stronger but he took every snap in
the spring and didn't get hurt."
"We'll have some freshmen
who'll have a chance to contribute. I
won't get into naming names be­cause
that's all I'd be doing. They
haven'tbeen away from home, they
haven't been on a college campus
and they haven't been through a
college practice."
Although playing a demanding
schedule that includes two teams
that have won the national cham­pionship
in the past three years, the
former-Georgia Ail-American isn't
dreading the upcoming fall.
' 'We play the toughest schedule in
the conference and maybe one of the
toughest in the United States. We're
picked to finish seventh and we play
the six teams above us, plus,
Nebraska in Lincoln, Tennessee in
Knoxville and Georgia in At hens.
"The schedule was there. We'll
play it. We'll get as ready to play as
we can get. We'll just roll up our
sleeves and have a good time
playing it."
The Peachtree Roadrace in At­lanta
on July 4 is a one of a kind
event.
Nowhere else except possibly
Bryce will you get 25,000 nuts
together to have fun.
Up until last year I had been a
reliable runner, putting in six to
eight miles daily.
But I changed my training habits
for this race, mainly watching a lot
of television and doing a lot of
12-ounce curls.
As a matter of fact, on the night
before the race, my brother and I put
in a hard workout with our favorite
exercise. We figured if Adidas can
sponsor Craig Virgin maybe Bud-weiser
can sponsor us next year.
Waiting at Lennox Square for the
start allowed me to observe the
runners. One looked like he was nine
months pregnant and he had a
number putting him at the front of
pack. I think he lied about his time
when he sent ii^his entry form.
There were so many people in the
race that by the time I reached the
startingline, the leaders were a mile
ahead. It was then I had doubts I was
going to catch Virgin.
The first two miles were enjoy­able,
mainly running on a slight
decline. My brother and I enjoyed a
running conversation.
But then we hit the first hill. It is a
little less than a mile long but it
seemed as if it would never stop. Our
conversation did.
. Midway up the lull, I started
hearing my brother making strange
noises as he breathed. This caused
me to realize I had extreme trouble
breathing.
After the hill, some wonderful
people along the road were playing
the theme to' 'Rocky.'' I never cared
for that movie,but now I hate it.
Although I thought I was dying, it
became obvious that I wasn't in as
bad shape as some people because
we started moving up in the pack.
It still angered me, though, to see
some 10-year-old kid running past
me. I had a great desire to trip him
but managed to supress it.
Probably the one point in the run
that gave a person an idea of how
many people were in it was the turn
on West Peachtree Street. For that
half-mile stretch there was nothing
in sight but people.
Withalittlebveramiletogo, there
is a final hill. Itwas here I caught my
second wind and decided I could still
finish under 55 minutes to win a
T-shirt.
Everything was still going fine
until the runners got to Piedmont
Park where everyone was scrunch­ed
together making it impossible to
pass. I had to get behind some clown
who Insisted on jumping up-and
down every time he saw a camera.
I hit the finish area at 51 minutes
but because of the crowd, crossed
the finish line about a minute later.
But it didn't matter, I had a shirt.
As I waited to get my shirt, my
brother said, "Well, kid, we need to
get In shape earlier next year."
Of course, we started training that
afternoon, killing off the remainder
of the case from Friday night.
Exercise, there's nothing like it.

HARD OR SOFT?
WHICH LENS IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
This is a question your optometrist can answer for you.
During your examination he'll get to know you, your lifestyle
and your needs. The type of lens he'll prescribe is based on
that information, his examination of your,eyes and his
evaluation of your vision problem.
Hard lenses may be required in some cases to provide the
best vision correction, but usually require a longer adaptation
period as wearing time must be built up gradually.
The soft lenses are easier to wear intially and harder to
dislodge accidentally. All day wear is the rule, and most
people say they don't know they have them on.

Education presents Second Annual Film Festival
By Janet Barbee
Entertainment Editor
Starting this Monday and running
through Friday, the School of
Education Film Festival celebrates
its first anniversary with Alfred
Hitchcock, Laurel and Hardy, Mae
West, Fred Astaire, Laurence
Olivier and Bette Davis, among
others.
The Film Festival was conceived
and first produced last summer by
Dan Wright, director of Learning
Resources Center in the School of
Education.and Douglas Alley, asso­ciate
professor of secondary edu­cation.
"I just felt like we needed to do
something," said Dr. Alley. "These
films are not just entertaining, but
they're educational, too. We had
capacity crowds last year."
This coming Monday, July 13,
features Alfred Hitchcock's thriller,
"Foreign Correspondent." Di­rected
by Hitchcock and first re­leased
in 1940, critics praised this
movie as "a wild and exciting,
chase story against a background of
menacing mystery!" The movie
will be preceded by a short subject,
"Strange and Unusual Animals,"
beginning at 2:15 p.m.
A double feature shows Monday*
night at 7 with a short Bugs Bunny
cartoon preceding it. The comedy
"Saps at Sea,'' starring Stan Laurel
and Oliver Hardy, is the first feature
with the 1930 Gothic thriller,' 'Drac-ula,"
starring Bela Lugosi, ending
the evening.
Tuesday's matinee at 2:15 feat­ures
a collection of film versions of
literature including "A Separate
Peace," by John Knowles, "Zero
Hour," by Ray Bradbury, and "To
Build a Fire," by Jack London.
Other short films a r e ' "The Night the
Ghost Got In," by James Thurber,
"Leader of the People," by John
Steinbeck, and "Spoon River Antho­logy,"
by Edgar Lee Masters.
"The General," starring Buster
Keaton, and "The Heat's On,"
starring Mae West, will run Tuesday
night at 7. Filmed only two years
before the talkies, the battle scenes
in "The General" have the scope
and realism of Matthew Brady's
photographs of the Civil War. In
"The Heat's On," West plays a
musical comedy star caught be­tween
two rival producers as she
delivers her one-liners with the
famous Mae West purr.
Wednesday offers a movie mar­athon
beginning at 2:15 p.m. with
Al Jolson in "Hallelujah, I'm a
Bum," released in 1933, five years
after the first talking picture.
At 3'-40 p.m. Basil Rathhone
portrays Sherlock Holmes in the
1939mystery, "Houndof theBasker-villes."
At 5:15 p. m. Jack Benny and
Carole Lombard star in the 1942
comedy, "To Be or Not To Be."
Released just after the United
States had entered World War H and
the Nazis had bombed England, this
Jack Benny comedy ridicules the
Nazis as bumbling buffooons.
At 7 Wednesday night Rita Hay-worth
stars as a nightclub girl who
wins a magazine cover contest and
becomes a Broadway sensation in
the 1944 musical' 'Cover Girl.'' Gene
Kelly plays her boyfriend.
Thursday afternoon features
John Masefield's poem on film,

Hat" for which Irving Berlin com­posed
the music and lyrics.

drama, "Henry V," during the 2:15
matinee Friday. Along with Olivier,
the film itself, the musical score, the
set decorations and the art design all
won Academy Award nominations.
Winding up the Film Festival
Friday night, Bette Davis stars in
the 1934 drama by Somerset Maug­ham,
"Of Human Bondage." Start­ing
at 7, two clips, the cartoon
"Casey at the Bat" and the comedy
"Beer Barrel Polecats" with the
Three Stooges, precede "Of Human
Bondage."

Students' decisions fuel UPC committees
Telfair Peet Theatre
CALL 826-4154 FOR RESERVATIONS
AND TICKET INFORMATION
By Karen Lovoy
Copy Editor
Anyone who has been to a free
movie is familiar with the Univers­ity
Program Council. But many fail
to realize who in this organization is
actually responsible for deciding
how to spend student activity fees or
the amount of work involved in doing
so.
The UPC is not composed of
financial wizards or power-hunger
student administrators, but it is a
group of students who have chosen
to have an active voice in planning
campus activities, usually in a
particular field of interest. The
group believes one of its major
duties is to "keep the students
informed" as to how their fees are
beingused, said Lexie Palmer, UPC
coordinator.
Tne UPC is divided into nine
committees which are headed by a
director and an assistant, Palmer
said. There are also three staff
persons who handle the admini­strative
and business end of the
organization.
Each committee is allotted a
separate budget which it is respons­ible
for, she said. Weekly committee
meetings are held where members
give input and vote on activities.
Evaluations of events are usually
written so that student reactions
may be recorded, and the com­mittees
will have a basis for its
decisions. After a committee has
approved an activity, it must be
approvedby the UPC Council, which
is made up of the directors and the
staff persons, she added. Concerts
must also be approved by the Social
Life Committee, which has three
SGA members, and is "the govern­ing
body of the UPC," she said.
The source of much of the UPC's
entertainment ideas is a South­eastern
convention, the National
Entertainment and College Activity
Association, which the directors,
coordinators and staff persons at­tend
annually, Palmer said. This is
usually held in the fall; this year's
convention will be held in October in
Savannah, Ga. The UPC workers
attend seminars on programming,
listen to many bands and talk to
booking agents. Another benefit of
the convention is "block booking,"
she said. This is a package where
performers offer to come to several
schools in the same area for a much
lower price. Sometimes the UPC
coordinators will attend the national
NECAA if the prospects look good or
if the Southeast convention was
disappointing, she added. In ad­dition
to the convention, the UPC is
flooded with information sent by
organizations who want to perform
here, Palmer said.
Auburn enjoys a good reputation
at the convention, Palmer said
Other schools are "green with
envy," she said, because of Au­burn's
budget. Other schools are
also surprised that Auburn is the
only school in the Southeast that
doesn'tchargeforitsfilms, she said.
Performers who have been to
Auburn are pleased with their
response and encourage other per­formers
to play here, she added.
Many of them want to come back
because "they enjoy coming to
Auburn," Palmer said.
After the convention the com­mittee
directors call agents and get
dates and prices in order to bid for
groups, Palmer said. After a list has
been compiled of various groups and
dates that have met approval, it
comes down to who will agree to
come for the best price, she added.
The Major Entertainment Com­mittee
seems to run into the most
problems booking concerts because
there are "few groups touring,"
Palmer said. Major Entertainment
plans to continue its student survey
tofindoutwhich top groups students
are most interested in, she said.
However, there is no guarantee that
the high-interest groups can be
booked because sometimes their
price is too high for the UPC, or the
coliseum is too expensive for the
performers to use, Palmer said. In
spite of these difficulties, the UPC
has brought such performers as the
Eagles, Elvis Presley and James
Taylor to Auburn, she added.
The Major Entertainment Com­mittee
"keeps its ears open" for
when groups are touring to try and
get a booking as early as possible,
Palmer said. The committee tries to
get first shot at a date on the
calendar so that other entertain-mentgroupsmayplanaround
it, she
added. The UPC feels getting good
dates on the calendar well in
advance is a way of ensuring that the
students' money is being spent
wisely on a well-attended event, she
said. Also, other major entertain­ment
activities of other campus
organizations are approved by the
UPC Council to avoid competition
with its events, she added.
The Films Committee chooses its
movies according to its budget from
catalogues sent by various film
companies, Palmer said. The com­mittee
also discusses probable re­sponses
to the movies in making its
decisions. If a movie wins com­mittee
and council approval, it
cannot be stopped by the admini­stration,
she said. The movies are
strictly student choices, she added.
The UPC is particularly looking
for volunteers for two of its newest
committees, Lectures, a part of
Horizons, and Religious Affairs.
Lectures will handle speakers who
are requestedby the faculty to speak
at Auburn. This subcommittee was
recently given to the UPC so that it1
could use its funds to make students y 0
aware of these lectures and to *
increase student interest, Palmer
said. Formerly this area was under
"joint student-faculty authority,"
she said.
Religious Affairs will "bring re­ligious
events to campus, but these
events will not be evangelically
oriented," Palmer said. The events
will be "representative of all re­ligions,"
she added. The committee
will have a "non-denominational
outlook" and will present a publi­cation
that will list the religious
organizations on campus to promote
communication among the various
religious groups, she said.
To join the UPC, sign up with a
committee, and you can "get as
involved as you like," Palmer said.
There's more to working than
attending the weekly meetings, she
added. Workers help set up equip­ment
for concerts and usher or
handle whatever is involved in their
committee's activities, she said.

programming
By Kim Kennamer
Plainsman Staffwriter
WEGL, the campus operated
radio station, is the second most
popular radio station among
Auburn University students ac­cording
to a survey conducted by a
graduate level speech communica­tions
research class.
Of the 567 students polled, 84 (15
percent) listed WEGL as their
favorite station. WHHY was the
most popular with 105 students (19
percent) and WFRI was the third
most popular with 13 percent.
Greg Pitts, WEGL station man­ager,
said, "I'm very pleased with
the results." But he sees a need for
increased promotion of the station.
He said he is currently working on
that.
Ninety-four percent knew that
Auburn had a campus radio station,
the survey revealed; 80 percent
knew the call letters, WEGL, but
only slightly over half of the students
knew the location of the station on
the dial, 91.1.
Of the students polled, 60 percent
said they listened to WEGL at least
sometimes.
Only 3 percent of the students said
they never listened to- the radio.
Ninety-seven percent said they do
listen to the radio. The average
Auburn listener listens about four
hours per day.
The alternative program­ming
was named as the top reason
for listening to the station. Two other
frequently mentioned reasons were
the jazz programs and because it's
the campus station.
Of the 39 percent who don't listen
to WEGL. most said it is because
they never think of it. The other
frequently mentioned reasons for
not listening are because another
station is preferred or the music
WEGL plays isn't liked.
Top 40 is the favorite type of music
for 37 percent of the students
on campus according to the survey.
"I want to get a little more
consistency in what we play," the
manager said. "For mainstream
music especially I want a certain
style that everyone will follow."
THE DUELLISTS
Fencing is a science.
Loving is a passion.
Duelling is a n obsession.
Obsession
Keith Carradine stars as an officer, with an obsession for dueling, in
Napolean's army in "The Duellists." Based on Joseph Conrad's story and
presented by The Auburn Cinema Society, the film shows this Monday and
Tuesday at 7 and 9 p.m. in Dudley Auditorium B6, near the Architecture
Library. Admission is $1.25 for students and $1.50 for the public.

WEGL will also incorporate more
current music into the program, but
he emphasized the station was not
going to become a Top 40 station, he
said.
Album-oriented rock'n'roll was
listed as the most favorite and the
least favorite by approximately a
quarter of the students each. It was
ranked second as the most popular
type of music and first as the least
popular type of music.
Country and western music re­ceived
a similar rating. It was
ranked as the third most popular
type of music and the second least
popular type. 76 students listed it as
their favorite type, but 99 listed it as
their least favorite.
Pitts doesn't see an increase likely
in the amount of country music
played by WEGL. Since more
students disliked it than liked it, and
' because WEGL is located so close to
WLWI, a country station, on the
j dial, he expects to keep the country
' programming at its present level of
three hours on Saturday morning.
Punk music was listed by the third
largest group as its least favorite
type of music. It was only listed by
four students as their favorite type.
"No one who listens to us listens to us
for punk music." WEGL will
"pretty well dump punk," Pitts
said.
He has cut down on the amount of
classical music on WEGL. Pitts has
rescheduled it for Monday evenings
for two hours, but has kept the
Sunday afternoon classical show.
Every person who chose con­temporary
Christian as his favo­rite
type of music knew the call
letters and location of WEGL, the
survey showed. Even though it was
only rated as the sixth most popular
type of music put of 10 categories, it
was "still rated pretty high con­sidering
it is a speciality type,'"
Pitts said. He plans to continue with
the Sunday morning and Wednes­day
night Christian programs.
"Jazz doesn't offend many
people. People tend to be more
willing to listen to jazz." The jazz
programming will be increased by
15 minutes each Monday through
Friday, Pitts said.
The manager also plans to in­crease
local news coverage on
WEGL and wants to help promote
any activities happening on
campus.
