State finally gets 1982 education budget
By Keith Ayers
News Editor
After months of deliberation and
compromise in Montgomery, the
Legislature has finally produced the
master plan for spending the $1.34
billion that will go for education in
Alabama in the fiscal year 1982.
The budget, getting approval
Tuesday, is based on a 5.5 percent
growth rate from last year in the
Special Education Trust Fund
I.SETF), the revenues earmarked
for education in the state.
Dr. Daniel C. Holsenbeck, direct­or
of university relations, Auburn's
liaison to the Legislature, gave the
following figures as funds budgeted
to the Auburn system next year.
Auburn's main campus has been
endowed with $40,355,640 for fiscal
1982. The Agriculture Experiment
Station will be getting $7,768,800.
Auburn's Cooperative Extension
Service was budgeted $8,444,313.
Auburn University's sister insti­tution
in Montgomery will be getting
$6,271,200.
These figures add up to $56,568,753
for the main campus and $62,839,953
for the entire Auburn system.
In the wake of the budget's
passage, emotions are mixed in the
administration of Auburn Univer­sity.
Holsenbeck, speaking for the
president's office, said there are
three main reactions to the budget
from within the administration.
"First, we are glad to have the
figures so that we now know what we
have to operate on next year.. .so we
can start making plans," he said.
"Secondly, we acknowledge and
appreciate the efforts made by local
delegations and those in Montgo­mery
who stood up and pulled for
Auburn University," he added.
"Finally, however, we are some­what
disappointed that new money
has been given to fund the fringe
benefit package for one segment of
education when, in fact, higher
education was taking cuts in its
budget," the director said.
Holsenbeck was referring toa $3.7
million absolute increase in funds to
finance teacher insurance pre­miums
for educators who teach in
Alabama's elementary and high
schools. The increase does not apply
to university professors.
In addition to the money already
budgeted to Auburn, the University
also stands to gain what is referred
to as "conditional" funding.
By "conditional" appropriations,
it is meant that depending on the
health of the SETF and upon
approval from the governor, the
University could also receive addi­tional
funding in some areas if
enough money is generated to cover
them.
Of this "conditional" funding, the
Cooperative Extension Service, the
Agriculture Experiment Station
and the Engineering Experiment
Station could all receive up to
$200,000 each, and Auburn Univer­sity
at Montgomery could re ceive up
to $100,000.
For instance, if the economy took
an upward surge for an extended
period of time, the extra funds in the
SETF would be distributed on a
prorata basis to institutions
throughout the state that held areas
with "conditional appropriation"
status.
In the final days before passage,
the teacher insurance appropria­tions
for fiscal 1982 stood out as the
one element keeping the education
budget from passing, Holsenbeck
said.

James cuts proration
By Keith Ayers
News Editor
Based on an increase in funds
going into the Special Education
Trust Fund in the month of July and
part of August, theGovernor'soffice
announced late yesterday that the 10
percent revenue proration shroud­ing
schools across the state will soon
be reduced to 5 percent.
Mike Hogan, executive assistant
to the director of finance, said
yesterday that a somewhat health-iereconomy
and good initial returns
from the Cates bill money influ­enced
the governor to make his
decision.
"We haven't decided exactly how
the money will be distributed yet--in
what proportions-but we do know
now that the state's schools shoniH
be getting 95 percent of their
originally budgeted appropriations
by the end of the (fiscal) year."
Hogan said the governor's office
expects at least $50 to $60 million
from the Cates bill, a decision made
earlier this year that requires
businesses to pay state income taxes
on their employees once a month,
instead of quarterly as in the past.
In doing this, the Legislature
created a windfall for this one year,
since monies coming in the last
three months of a fiscal year usually
go on the next year. This year,
revenue from July and August will
go on fiscal 1981 expenses.
As it stands, Auburn will be
receiving $58.6 million out of its
originally budgeted $61.5 mil­lion
appropriation. Up until yester­day,
Auburn was operating on funds
prorated 10 percent from the origi­nal
figure, or a total of $55.3 million
for the year.

Budget cuts may hurt, Nichols says
By Virginia Martin
Assistant News Editor
"The budget cut proposal is the
most difficult bill I've ever had to
vote on," Rep. Bill Nichols told a
group of about 80 citizens in a town
meeting at the Loachapoka
Museum Tuesday morning.
Nichols, who is visiting smaller
communities in his district during
the legislative recess, said that it'
was a difficult vote, "because it
reduced some programs that I
Ivtlieve in strongly."
He cited student loan, nutrition
and food stamp programs as some of
the worthy programs that were cut.
' 'Food stamps feed a lot of people
that I don't know would be fed
otherwise," Nichols said. "But
some people are on them that don't
need to be."
Nichols said that although he
didn't agree with all of the cuts, he
had to vote either for or against the
packageasawhole. He chose to vote
for it.
"I don't believe that the re­ductions
in the social programs will
be at such a magnitude as to cause
real hardship," Nichols said.
But he added, "I feel like the cuts
we've made are about as far as we
can go this year. We've gone to the
bone in some of these cuts."
"There are going to be some
hardships. A lot of these may come
to light that we didn't know about,"
Nichols said.
In reference to the cuts for next
year already being considered by
David Stockman, director of the
office of management and budget,
Priorities
Nichols said, "The only thing Mr.
Stockman knows is cuts."
However, Nichols pointed out that
the federal deficit is now about $1
trillion. He said that the service of
this debt alone requires $100 billion
every year.
The budget cut bill does reduce
this deficit by $36 billion, said
"If the president's tax cut doesn't
stimulate the economy...the im­balance
(between rich and poor) is
going tobecomeeven wider. Ihope it
doesn't come about," Nichols
added.
Still, Nichols said, "My pre­ference
would have been to work for
a balanced budget before giving any

lion laid down with the lamb, and we
beat our swords into plowshares, but
we don't. We live in a real world.
Nichols. He said, "I think that s a
step in the right direction."
Nichols said he also had
reservations about the tax cut bill.
"I went to Congress with the idea
that I wouldn't vote for any tax cut
until the budget was balanced,"
Nichols said. But after the presi­dent's
speech on national television,
Nichols said his office was flooded
with letters and calls. The responses
were about 92 percent in favor of
Reagan's plan.
Nichols said, "What these people
told me was, 'What you've been
trying for 20 years hasn't worked.
We elected this man in November.
This his program; give him a
chance.' "
"So I voted for the tax cut,"
Nichols said.
tax cuts. It's difficult for me to
reconcile that you're going to return
money to taxpayers when our
national debt is so large."
Nichols said that he had a
responsibility as a congressman to
vote as his constituency wanted him
to, and he felt he had a strong
mandate from the people to vote for
the tax cuts.
According to Nichols, Social Se­curity
is one of the greatest concerns
of his constituents. "I get more
letters from people who are more
concerned and worried about Social
Security than any other issue,"
Nichols said.
Nichols, who called himself a
strong supporter of Social Security,
said that it "gives a sense of dignity
to a person in his old age."
' "This Congress and congresses to
come won't permit the Social Se­curity
trust fund to go broke,"
Nichols said.
He said one of the problems in the
Social Security system is more
benefits have been added than were
originally intended. "The program
has gotten too heavy.'' Nichols said.
Nichols also pointed out that now
Social Security has to pay people
more years than it used to because of
increased life spans.
He added, "We don't have as
many people paying in as we'd like
to."
' 'If we don't turn this thing around
we're going to need an awfully big
poorhouse to hold the entire United
States," Nichols commented.
Nichols, who is member of the
House Armed Services Committee,
said, "I believe strongly in
defense."
When asked by several citizens if
he could justify the large amounts of
money spent each year on defense,
Nichols conceded the $1 trillion that
will be spent on defense in the next
five years is a lot of money but said,
"what's more expensive is not
having that kind of defense."
"I wish we lived in a world where
the lion lay down with the lamb, and
we beat our swords into plowshares,
but we don't. We live in a real
world."
"Knowing what I know about the
Soviet Union, I just have to be
mindful of defense," he said.
Nichols said that he couldn't

Several administrators question criteria for evaluation
By Karen Kirkpatrick
Plainsman Staffwriter
The first draft of the priority
recommendations report is out, and
although some deans and depart­ment
heads are generally pleased,
many are questioning the criteria
used in the evaluations.
The report, the result of a 10-
month study by the Priorities and
Planning Committee set up last
September by President Hanly
Funderburk, is designed to guide
Auburn University's course for the
next 20 years.
In response to the priorities
report, J.T. Vaughan, dean of
veterinary medicine, said he was
generally pleased with the report,
but that "maybe some areas should
be given a ranking not associated
with current strengths but on cur­rent
needs to develop strength for
the programs in the future."
The area of pathology was given a
rank of a B in the priorities report,
Vaughan said, but it should have
been given a higher rank, because of
its commitment with the National
Cancer Institute to produce more
pathologists.
"I agree with Dean Vaughan.
Priorities should be given to areas
with future strength and not just on
current strength, EdwardH. Hobbs,
dean of arts and sciences, respond­ed.
Dr. Robert Kribel, head of the
physics department, who was un­happy
with the physics' ranking of a
B, is also in agreement with
Vaughan and Hobbs.
After asking the subcommittee
which studied his department to
explain the ranking, Kribel said he
was told the ranking was based on
the performance of the department
and graduate program over the past
decade.
Kribel said, "The current perfor­mance
of the department and the
fundamental importance of the
discipline to the University's mis­sion
should have been considered
before deciding on a department's
ranking."
Kribel explained, "The physics
department has been much more
productive recently than eight or
nine years ago, and the department
also plays an important role in the
land grant mission and therefore
should have been given a higher
ranking."
Dr. Murray C. Adams, head of
sociology and anthropology said his
department was told by its subcom­mittee
that the department's grad­uate
program was given a ranking
of a C partly because it lacked a Ph.
D. program.
"We have an excellent applied
master's program which has seen
steady growth, and I don't feel that
we should be ranked lower because
we don't have a Ph.D. program,"
Adams responded.
The political science depart­ment's
ranking of a C was a mistake
according to Hobbs.
-"It is a little discouraging when
the political science department is
invited by President Funderburk to
submit a proposal for a doctorate
program in public administration
and at the same time is given a
priority rankingof a C," Hobbs said.

Officials say on-campus housing

agonizing, but just find a shady bench and close your
eyes and all can be forgotten for a short while.
By Keith Avers
News Editor
Contrary to on-campus housing
trends of recent years, where most
housing was filled by winter quar­ter,
there are still some openings left
for fall quarter residency at Auburn.
Smith Jackson, assistant director
of housing, said there are still some
vacancies in women's dorms,and it
is possible that there will be more
vacancies in men's housing.
Jackson said cancellations from
out-of-state students, a change in the
way housing is assigned and cancel­lations
because of dropping some
sports programs have helped gene­rate
vacancies in housing that are
unusual for this time of year.
• The assistant director said a
noticeable increase in cancellations
from out-of-state students has gene­rated
vacancies. "From what we
are able to see-and from talking to
realtors in Auburn-the raising of
tuition has caused some cancel­lations
from students outside of
Alabama," he said.
Another factor in the number of
vacancies is a new method being
used by Housing to assign students
Budget
Frontpage 1
Furthermore, an error in transla­tion
in the waning hours of legisla­tion
sent a ripple of fear through
many that the budget might stall
and require still another special
session.
The governor's original budget
proposed that $3.7 million be added
to the teacher insurance program in
1982 in the form of conditional
funds-that is, if it becomes avail­able
in the course of the year. The
House passed this plan.
However, the Senate amended the
plan and changed the figure from
$3.7 to $6 to $8 million in absolute-not
conditional-appropriations.
The House voted Thursday
against this Senate action, which
sent the two houses into a Confer­ence
Committee. The compromise
allowed $3.7 in absolute funds to go
into the insurance program.
This variation was approved by
the House, then the Senate. How­ever,
many within the Senate
understood that conditional money
would also be added to this figure if it
became available.
Instead of refusing the budget, the
Senate then conferred with the
governor, making it known that
unless he amended the bill to allow
for additional conditional funds for
insurance, itwouldbe voted down by
the Senate.
However, this was unnecessary
since Gov. James did make the
executive amendment that later got
House and Senate approval, which
made the budget law.
Had the governor refused to
make the executive amendment,
the bill would possibly have had to
return to committee. It could have
taken weeks to arrive at a compro­mise
that all three elements of the
government would have been pleas­ed,
with.
Asitstands, the teacher insurance
program will be getting $8.7 million
in new money with the potential for
$3.7 million .^more _ if." the SETF
goes beyond current- projections or
if other money within the budget
becomes available. .
The teacher'insurance plan had
already been budgeted $14.8 million
for fiscal 1982.
Old Anders building may experience facelift
By Sonny Long
Assistant News Editor
The old Anders Book Store build­ing
on Magnolia Avenue will under­go
a dramatic facelift if a proposal
by the Auburn Planning Commis­sion
is approved by the City Council.
The proposal would replace the
building with a mixed business-housing
structure. A three-story
building would be built consisting of
business and of f ices on the first floor
and 12 multi-family units on the
second and third floors.
The building was originally built
in 1916 as the Lambda Chi Alpha
fraternity house. Anders Book Store
moved into the building in 1966 and
stayed until 1978.
The commission also approved
rezoning of an area north of the
central business district from a B-3
to a B-4 zone. The area designated
for rezoning includes 53 structures
north of Tichenor- Avenue to the
depot side of Mitcham Avenue.
Several student residences would be
affected if theCity Council approves
the commission's recommendation
for rezoning.
Under the proposed rezoning
residences would continue to be
classified as non-conforming uses,
but minimum front yard require­ments
are reduced from 20 feet to
zero. And no parking spaces are
required. Under the B-3 zone at least
three parking spaces were required.
Several students living in the area
have expressed the fear that the
zoning change will lead to the
tearing down of houses rented by
students and the construction of
apartments and to the installation of
paid parking in the area.
In other planning commission
action, Mayor Jan Dempsey
appointedDr. Warren McCord to fill
the six-year term as commission
chairman. McCord presently serves
as the state director of community
resources for the Cooperative Ex­tension
Service at Auburn Univer­sity.
Bumper to bumper
Bumper stickers noticeable around the Auburn campus
By Terry Connor
Plainsman Staffwriter
"Prorate Fob in '82."
"I'm a Lover-Fighter and a Wild
Bull Rider".
These are only a few of the wide
variety of bumper stickers notice­able
around the Auburn campus.
The most prevalent stickers have
something to do with Auburn athle­tics.
Besides the usual ones like,
"War Damn Eagle" and "Tiger
Fever Catch It," there are stickers
directed toward the University of
Alabama fans. They include:
"War Eagle Dam The. Tide,"
' 'Auburn University-The Universi­ty
of Alabama'' and ' 'If Auburn is a
'Cow College,' Why is All the

while bicycling on campus
By Virginia Martin
Plainsman Staffwriter
A 21-year-old Auburn student was
injured yesterday at about 8 a.m.
when the bicycle she was riding
collided with a car in front of Petrie
Hall on Thach Avenue.
Captain Donald Rogers of Camp­us
Security said that Carla J.
Benson, a junior in the School of
Veterinary Medicine, suffered only
minor injuries. She was treated and
released from the Drake Student
Health Center.
Stephen D. Windham, a graduate
student, was turning into the Petrie
Hall parking lot when the two

collided, throwing Benson onto the
windshield.
Campus Security and the Auburn
paramedics arrived on the scene
moments after the accident occur­red,
according to a witness who
called the ambulance. She said that
she called the ambulance at the
Student Health Center, but that it
was inoperable. She then called
AAA Ambulance Service in Opelika.
The ambulance arrived at about
8:25 and transported Benson to the
Student Health Center.
Kenny Boyd was going to work in
Petrie Hall at the time of the
accident. "I heard something that
sounded like car brakes and a crash
and ran to the door. When I got to the
door she was laying on the other side
of the car," he said.
year, but during a good football
season we can sell up to 5,000
stickers.
He said that during a losing
football season his store might not
even sell 1,000 stickers.
Tom Allen, who orders stickers
for Auburn University Bookstore,
said, "The year Auburn beat Ala­bama
17-16 was a good year for
selling bumper stickers. The stick­ers
that read, 'Punt Bama Punt' is
probably the all-time leading seller,
and we still sell some when we have
them in stock."
Anders said, "the majority of our
stickers are made up by people who
come by the store and show them to
us, "If the sticker is a good one, we '11
have some of them printed up at the
screening house."
However, Allen said that most of
the University Bookstore stickers
are made by Angela Pacific Com­pany.
"We get many of our ideas from
people around campus, and then we
get together with the company and
suggest our ideas," he said. They
also have writers that give us some
ideas for new stickers.
Allen said the stickers concerning
Coach Pat Dye are good sellers
because Dye has a perfect name to
write slogans too.
"Some of the big sellers read,
'Welcome Pat to Auburn' and 'Pat is
Going to Dye Alabama Orange and
I
Blue,' but all of the stickers move
pretty consistently," Allen said.
"Most of our stickers are priced
from 50 cents to $1.50, and they are
hard to keep in stock if they are good
eye catchers."
Other popular stickers on the
Auburn campus deal with religion or
being a Christian. Ann Bryant of the
Lighthouse Christian Bookstore in
Auburn said, "People seem to want
to let other people know how they
feel about their religious prefer­ences."
Bryant said, "We have
three different sizes of stickers that
have sayings on them like, 'Wise
Men Still Seek Him', and 'Don't Be
Caught Dead Without Jesus'; all of
them selling real well."
Besides the athletic and religion
stickers, political stickers are com­mon.
There are the regular one-word
stickers that support a candi­date
like, "Reagan." However, a
number of stickers express an
opinion for a certain position like,
"SupportReagan's Plan," and "I'll
Give Up My Gun When They Pry My
Cold Dead Fingers Off The Barrel."
Other stickers found around cam­pus
include:
-Longhorns & Rednecks-No Place
but Texas
-If You Think I'm a Bad Driver,
You Ought to See Me Putt
-Waterbeds are Bedder
-Have You Hugged Your Surf­board

to rooms. "In the past, we assigned
'spaces' to those who paid their
deposit. This year, before we accept
deposits, we are telling students
what kind of housing Is vacant and
available to them.
"Then if they are not pleased with
the particular type of housing, they
can turn it down. We only make
room assignments after the student
has accepted the type of housing and
has paid the deposit,'' Jackson said.
Finally, Jackson said the drop­ping
of some sports programs has
slightly lessened the demand for
on-campus housing.
' 'We do encourage women seeking
on-campus housing to apply, for
there are vacancies. As far as men's
housing goes we have a waiting list,
but there is a good chance that there
will be more room available," he
said.
This year, there will be no more
"triples" in women's dorms, Jack­son
said. Instead, women will be
staying two to a room. Jackson said
eliminating private rooms for males
and changing some dorms from
women's to men's and vice versa
has helped the overcrowding prob­lem
somewhat.

'It is even possible that there will
be some vacant rooms in Bullard
Hall (a women's dorm), even after
all of the applications have been
filled," Jackson said.
For the first time this year, single
undergraduate students will be
living in the Caroline Draughon
Village married student housing
area. Jackson said a decrease in the
demand for married student hous­ing
and a price increase effective
fall quarter have caused vacancies
in the original CDV. The Housing
Office has elected to fill these
vacancies with single students.
In the past, the CDV was exclu­sively
for married students and
graduate students.
For the first time ever, there will
be no private rooms available on
campus unless there are vacancies
after all requests for housing have
been filled. If there is ample space
then students will be able to rent
private dorm rooms at one-and-one-
half times the price of semi-private
rooms, said Jackson.
The Housing Office urges anyone
interested in on-campus housing to
make it known so the office can
accomodate him.

Plainsman Staffwriter
His work is magic from the open
fire. He is an artist, creator and
craftsman. His tools--a blue-and-orange
flame, thousands of lucid
glass pieces and a vivid imagina­tion.
He is Gene Nelson, Auburn Uni­versity's
first and only glass blower.
Nelson, who works with the steady
hands of a sculptor, produces glass
parts for research projects at the
University and does some glass
repair work.
Smiling with the mystery behind
his touch, he takes a glass tube and
sticks the test tubelike piece into the
1,250 degree Farenheit flames that
jump from blue sparks to a bright
orange flare. The glass seems at
first unaffected by the intense heat
until Nelson quickly pulls it from the
fire and blows into it.
The glass tube's end swells into a
giant clear bubble and pops in the air
like a big wad of bubble gum.
A twinkle fixed in his eyes behind
the protective glasses, Nelson
laughs at the shock most people feel
when they see the glass inflate and
pop, showering the air with glittery
specks of glass.
But he explains that this is where
the term glass blower originated
long ago.
The glass blowing shop is located
in Room 112 of the chemistry
building. Although the shop is small,
it is filled with equipment and glass
supplies.
Those who venture into the shop
will find a small magical kingdom of
glasswork. A shelf filled with tiny
glass animals-roosters, elephants,
caterpillars and deer~the work, or
play as Nelson describes it, of the
artist and his apprentice Mark John.
"Our work is primarily for re­search
projects within the Univer­sity
that are brought to us from
various departments,'' Nelson said.
"But we do make some little things
like the animals for fun once in a
while."
Although the glass miniatures are
similar to those sold in stores and
shopping mall displays, Nelson said
he doesn't sell his miniatures but
uses them as gifts sometimes.
The magical illusions of glass
blowing are fascinating to watch,
but the skill is not without hazard.
Nelson said he has burned off many
fingernails in his work.
"You're going to burn yourself if
you work with fire," he said. But the
44-year-old glass blower takes the
risk in stride, swiveling on a small
green stool to work over the natural
gas and oxygen flame before him.
Nelson explained that many of the
research projects at Auburn would
not be possible if there were no glass
blower available.
Dr. Philip B. Shevlin of the
chemistry department, said "he
(Nelson) has built some very chal­lenging
apparatus for our depart­ment.
I think my associates would
agree that our research wouldn't be
possible without him."
Shevlin said Nelson built a sophis­ticated
glass apparatus for use in
working with carbon and metal
atoms. He estimated that the same
glass work, if ordered from a
chemical lab, would cost about
$5,000. but Nelson made it for about

Assistant News Editor
The School of Education wel­comes
a former member to its fold
as Allen D. Cleveland, Auburn city
school superintendent, returns as
coordinator of extended educational
services.
Cleveland's resignation from his
position with the city is effective
Sept. 30, and he assumes a position
similar to the one he held in the
School of Education until 1976.
"I've always maintained a keen
interest in programs for the prepa­ration
of educators," Cleveland
said. "I'm looking forward to
returning to that role."
In his new position, Cleveland win
be responsible for off-campus credit
courses and non-credit staff de­velopment
activities for public
school systems in Alabama.
Cleveland received an academic
appointment to the School of Edu­cation
in September 1969 and served
until Dec. 31, 1975.

"We're very pleased to have
him," said associate dean J. Boyd
Scebra. "He made outstanding
contributions when he was here
before, and we expect him to do the
same in the future. His experience
as superintendent of schools makes
him an invaluable addition to our
program."
preach. Students migrating toward
their next classes crowd the con­course.
Few pay attention. New­comers
stare. The open air forum
goes unused.
The open air forum was built in
1969 to provide a place for people to
express their feelings—a place for
anyone who had anything to say,
said James E. Foy, former dean of
students.
"We tried to make it possible for
anyone to say what he wanted, and
people could listen if they wanted.
Facing the stadium, the speeches
wouldn'tinf erf ere with the dorms or
with classes," said Foy.
"We wanted to get the activity
away from Haley Center. Using the
open air forum protects the rights of
the speaker but doesn't violate the
rights of others," continued Foy.
Foy and his successor Dr. Drew
Ragan, now a counselor education
professor, agreed that the forum
was never widely used.
Ragan could recall it being used
only four or five times since 1973.
"It was never widely used," Foy
said. ' 'but it satisfies certain needs
and should always be there." The
original platform was wooden and
when it rot ted the present cement
slab was constructed.
Emily Leischuck, assistant to the
dean of students, said, "The open air
forum hasn't been used much in
recent years. We've had a few
speakers on the lawn and on the
concourse, but we have encouraged
them to go to the open air forum.
They like speaking near the con­course
because students congregate
there."
Despite how much the speakers
like to air their views on the
concourse, it is illegal unless per­mission
is obtained from the presi­dent's
office.
Regulations for the use of the open
air forum first appeared in the Tiger
Cub student handbook in 1972.
According to the SGA code of
laws, campus advertising law
1001,13, special authorization from
the office of the president will be
required to use areas other than the
open air forum for open air speeches
and debates.
Sources in the president's office
said that no special permission had
been obtained for speeches other
than at the open air forum.

He referred to Nelson as "a
self-taught glass blower, which is
itself an accomplishment. Nelson
wasn't apprenticed to anyone like
most people in glass blowing,"
Shevlin said. "But he's as good as
any of them."
Nelson came to Auburn 23 years
ago as a stock clerk in the supply
store for the chemistry department.
But he saw the trade that would
change his direction while working
with Dr. James E. Land, now
retired.
Although he had no "official"
training, Nelson began to watch
Land, and he studied the techniques
of glass blowing during his lunch
hour and after work.
"I guess i t was a case of being in
the right place at the right time,"
Nelson said. "I saw the glass
blowing, and I knew that's what I
wanted to learn to do."
A native of Tallapoosa County,
Nelson came to Auburn after attend­ing
Young's Business College in
Alexander City. But his business
soon became glass blowing.
When he began working as a glass
blower for Auburn in 1963 he
continued to study. The University
sent him to Georgia Tech to observe
a professional at the Atomic Safety
Commission in Akin.S.C.
Nelson is one of about 15 or 20 glass
blowers in the Southeast. He said
there are probably two or three
professionals in Alabama, but there
are more professionals in Northern
industries than in the South.
And he has shared his skills with
apprentice Mark John, of Dothan,
and hopes John will follow in his
footsteps at Auburn. John has
worked with Nelson for two years.
Nelson taught classes in glass
blowing and gave lectures to civic
groups about the 12,000-year-old
history of glass work before his
workload at the glass blowing shop
increased. He said he would like to
be able to teach a class again but
doesn't know if it will be possible
with his work at the shop.
Although he doesn't refer to
himself as a professional, he is a
member of the American Scientific
Glassblowers Society. A glass blow­er
must be recommended to the
societybyaprofessionalbefore he is
considered for membership.
Nelson takes his work seriously
but admits he enjoys watching the
childlike fascination of those who
watch him take a piece of clear glass
and form a tiny object or animal in
the glowing flames.

A budget, finally
It's finally over.
The state Legislature has finally passed a
state education budget, and the $1.34 billion
dollars in education funding can now go its
proper routes to the elementary schools, high
schools and colleges throughout the state.
It is too tempting, though, to let the
moment pass without some type of ref lectioron
what happened to this year's budget.
First, consider the detrimental manner in
which this year's budget was handled. As if the
special session was not enough in the first place,
incongruences led to delay after delay when
the session was finally called.
Steps have been taken bytheiLegislature to
ensure the same process doesn't recur with
some type of regularity. Waiting until August
to pass a budget that goes into effect only
months, and in the case of primary education,
days later can put irreparable burdens on
administrators and on the educational system.
Second, consider I ne amount of funding
Auburn is due to receive in the next fiscal-year--$
56.57 million.
Most administrators and professionals will
not be totally disappointed with this figure
since earlier estimates and analyses had
Auburn pegged with a sum below that
amount.
With the governor's announcement yester­day
that last year'sprorationwascut in half, to 5
percent, figuring can become muddled, but it
seems Auburn did not suffer as badly in
comparison to last year as was originally
thought by most experts.
Nevertheless, Auburn did not really do that
badlyinthe budget war this year. If revenues in
the trust fund should increase, and many
economic experts are predicting a rise in the
level of economic acitivity which wpuld spur
greater revenues for the fund, parts of the
University would be eligible for as much as
$200,000.
One thing that rings loud and clear out of the
allocation is that somebody did a pretty good
job with theLegislature in bringing Auburn's
points to them. After all, Auburn people had
others such as State Superintendent of
Education Wayne Teague advocating cuts to
higher education.
Dr. Dan Holsenbeck, the head of university
relations, is to be eamnwaded-fer the work he
did in the Legislature, shuffling between
Auburn and Montgomery for several months,
giving Auburn's story to theLegislature. j
The SGA lobbying group that approached
several representatives and also had copies of
the Plainsman sent to legislators' offices, is also
to be congratulated for a lot of hard work on its
part.
But this year's budget is already past history
as plans will soon be in the works for the
1982-1983 budget. Let's hope the process is
straightened out then and the whole budget
melee becomes the process it is intended to be.
The start of something
Monday signaled the start of the Pat Dye Era
of Auburn football as the entire team reported
for the first day of practice of the new head
coach (freshmen had reported the week
before).
Dye, as we are all familiar with, became
Auburn's 22nd head football coach earlier this
year after the resignation of Doug Barfield,
now at Mississippi State.
Auburn fans seem to, in recent months, be
interjected with an enthusiasm for their new
coach as bumper stickers proclaiming "The
Dye Is Cast" and "I'm a Dye-Hard Auburn
Fan," appeared on automobiles throughout
the Southeast.
Dye, in turn, has offered no immediate
miracles, but he has pledged to bring Auburn
to the respect ability it once so proudly held on
the football field. As he said at one of his earlier
press conferences about his playing days at the
Thanks for the help
University of Georgia, those blue jerseys could
put the fear of God into your heart.
By the time we have our first issue next fall,
Auburn will have played three games, we hope
all victories, andthe Dye will indeed have been
cast.
We wish the Tigers the best of luck this fall
and hope that New Orleans and the sweet taste
of sugar are not too far in the future.
When writing...
Letters to the editor are welcome. They

Letters' deadline is Monday at 8 p.m.
Authors will be asked to present a valid I.D.

Whether it should be good news or bad
news, this is the last of the Plainsmans for the
summer quarter.
And though some of us will be returning to
do it all over again fall quarter, others among us
are trudging off to face the cold reality of a
harsh world.
Sherri Lilly, our photography editor will
continue her pseudo-education with an
internship at the Alabama Farm Bureau next
quarter. From there, it is anybody's guess.
Terry Connor, an assistant sports editor this
summer, will follow the same path with an
internship at St. Margaret's Hospital in
Montgomery this fall. From there, he too must
pore over the help-wanted section in search of
the elusive first job.
Janet Barbee, this summer's entertainment
editor and a past assistant copy editor, is off to
"Jolly Ole England" for the next quarter. She
plans to return for her internship and then face
the cold world like the others.
Peggy Wihide, long time Plainsman
assistant news editor and last summer's news
editor, will leave Auburn for an internship with
the State of Florida's energy department. She
too hopes to find employment after interning.
Sonny Long, an assistant news editor, is not
really leaving Auburn, just the Plainsman. He
plans to work for David Housel in the feports
information department next quarter.
Mark Skoneki, an editorial columnist for this
summer, will do something, but no one,
including Mark, is quite sure what yet.
For the rest of us, though, there will be fall
quarter and a return to the weekly ritual of
putting out the paper. Our first issue will be
Oct. 1.
We hope everyone has a good break and
returns safely to the plains next fall.

Kickers know the real pressure
I think as much as any action in the past 10
years, the air controllers' strike has more people
in the United States angry at a segment of
society than any other—for legitimate reasons
too.
Look at what these guys are claiming they
need this big pay raise for. Their job they say is
toostressf ul Being one of those who are angry at
the controllers, I set down to think about this
gripe and came up with dozens of occupations
with as much or more stress than the air traffic
controllers, jobs in which the average compen­sation
often times nowhere approaches the huge
figure thecontrollers null in ner annum.
There are the obvious ones—policeman and
fireman, president and soldier—but there are
also the less obvious ones that make the
controller's job seem like small potatoes in
comparison.
For instance, what about being mayor of
Birmingham? Here is a man in an utterly
thankless position; no matter what policies he
pursues, no matter what great things he
accomplishes, he is still the mayor of Birming­ham
with no hope for lasting, real civic
improvement.
What a pressure position.
Or what about being Tip O'Neill's aide in
Washington? Talk about pressure! You have to
make a man who is living in the 1930s seem like
an up-to-date, modern politician. The strains
show in O'Neill's camp where early retirements
and nervous breakdowns are the norm.
ECDUMW51W»RH«»» WaW«)THWC-N»IWg«»WI|,

Farish
What about being a Kennedy, a job initself?
Can any air-traffic controller come up with
pressure in comparison to that? Look at poor
Teddy.
Faced with the burden of following successive
brothers and their respective footsteps, Ken­nedy
has been reduced tcbabbleand repetition,
yet he receives little more compensation than
the average air-traffic controller.
And there is the college football coach who
must rely on a group of kids, half his age, to retain
his job. If one of them fumbles once too often or
throws one too many interceptions his career is
past history.
Talk about a job with pressure. He has to get
these kids fired up about going out on Saturdays
and ruining their health against everybody from
Oklahoma to Kutztowa State, or face losing the
game and eventually his job.
The president of the controllers' union has
problems that make his air-traffic controllers
pale in comparison. He must defend a bunch of
"persons"who violate their oath to the U.S
government of non-striking and create peril foi
the airplanes of the United States and ther
expect citizens to sympathize to their cause.
Field goal kickers are another group who cai
brag about pressures far surpassing those of th<
controllers. Not only are the hopes of scores o
other players, and most of them quite large
players at that, often dependent upon his foot
but there are thousands, sometimes millions, o
fans, often times betting fans, watching the
game.
Of course the three points and the last-minuU
win make him an instant hero, but miss and those
millions of fans, many larger than his fellow
teammates, are out to get their money back anc
he is an obvious outlet for that displeasure.
Students also face a stressful life. If you don'
believe it then tell me why they made th«
windows in Haley Center so small.
Air controllers may have dozens of lives t<
deal with, but do they ever have to deal witl
studying for a final exam after getting back fr on
Florida at 3 a.m. the morning before the test
missing out on half the notes in the class anc
failing to buy the book with the excuse, "I knew'.
forgot something"?
If the controllers still prefer to base their
argument for a $10,000 pay hike on the flimsy
excuse that they experience so much pressure
then public opinion is right—they are unjustifiec
in their request. Let them get jobs as field goa
kickers or something with some real pressure
Star's death would sadden Jefferson
"And were it left to me to decide whether we
should have a government without newspapers,
or newspapers without a government, I should
not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter"
—Thomas Jefferson.
Jefferson would have been a forlorn man if he
were forced to watch the closing of a newspaper
in the nation's capital.
As reporters cleared the memories of then-video
display terminals, copy editors closed
their dictionaries permanently and pressmen
drained the ink from the printing presses, the
Washington Star died.
Washington, D.C. is left with only one
newspaper, the Washington Post, a newspaper
whose credibility is questioned by some.
Now one newspaper is responsible for
covering the entire Washington metropolitan
area, the Supreme Court, the Congress, the
White House and all of the numerous federal
agencies. This is a difficult task for five
newspapers, a nearly impossible task for one
publication.
The Star has never been regarded as one of the
greatest newspapers in America. Nor was it one
of the largest. But it was one of the most
respected.
All editors dream of winning a Pulitzer Prize.
The Star has won 9 Pulitzers.
Many newspaper go out of business after one
year. The Star lasted 128 years.
Ma*
Almond
Most newspapers strive for a respectable
editorial section. The Star's pages included the
commentary of James J. Kilpatrick and Mary
McGrory along with the cartoons of Patrick
Oliphant, all considered among the best in their
fields.
Even in closing days the Star had a circulation
of 340,000 copies, more than the combined
populations of Birmingham, Auburn and
Opelika.
But this wasn't enough. Time-Life, Inc., the
owner of the Star, reported it was losing $20
million annually on the publication.
Rising inflation has hurt all newspapers, the
Star included. New computer technology
necessary to a modern newspaper is costly.
Increasing production costs preclude any
possible profits. Labor union demands and
government taxes plague all major industries.
As newspaper costs have increased, adver
tising re venues have decreased. Inflation has hi
, advertisers hard forcing them to cut back ii
their spending. Advertising pays the costs of i
newspaper. The 25 cents you pay for i
newspaper doesn't even come close to paying th<
production and circulation costs of that issue.
The Philadelphia Bulletin, facing a simila
dilemma, was saved after employees agreed to
pay cuts and layoffs. But the Bulletin is a mucl
larger newspaper than the Star and has
greater chance for success in the future.
Perhaps no newspaper can compete against
The Washington Post and survive. The Post has
come from a struggling, second-rate newspaper
to the eighth largest paper in the United States
The r"ost doesn't thrive on competition, it
devours it. In 1954, The Washington Times
Herald, a competing morning newspaper, was
acquired by The Washington Post Co. The Post
became Washington's morning newspaper, the
Star the evening newspaper.
In 1979, to counter circulation losses to the
Post, the Star began publishing a morning
edition. This edition, as well as the future of the
Star itself, was short-lived. The Washington
Post has no competition today.
Perhaps an advertisement in the final edition
of the Star best summed-up the loss of the
publication. A full page is left blank except for
The Washington Star nameplate and the phrase
"Silence is not golden."
Democracy cannot afford ignorance
In his speech to the nation on the eve of the
U.S. congressional tax cut vote, President
Reagan, apparently without knowing it, re­ferred
to a growing problem facing the country's
political system. It is a problem of voter
ignorance.
The president cited the story of a farmer who
quizzed his congressman about whether he
supported the Reagan tax cut plan. The
congressman,, a Southern Democrat whose
loyalty to the plan may have been in doubt, said
he did support it and began to explain why.
The constituent would have nothing of the
explanation. "Are you for (it) or against (it)?"
was all the farmer cared to know.
That kind of mindless support of any program
threatens the whole democratic system.
Why do we allow ourselves to be so ignorant?
The information needed to make knowledgeable
decisions is available all around us. In Auburn
alone, six daily newspapers can provide it in
varying packages and viewpoints.
It is not enough to read papers with opposing
viewpoints as The Wall Street Journal or The
New York Times, however. We must read both
and read them critically. No matter how much
objectivity is the goal, each source has its own
bias. We must be aware of it.
Mark
Skoneki
We also must begin to pressure the television
networks to present a more complete view of
the news. The information gained from an
average newscast won't even come close to
filling a single newspaper page.
The competition among networks does little
to help matters. I often watch all three network
newscasts and seldom find much difference in
their approach to the presenting of news.
Thesis journalism must be curtailed or
eliminated. "60 Minutes" of CBS is the most
famous example of thesis journalism, where the
goal is to prove a particular viewpoint instead of
presenting ail the facts. Things are rarely black
and white, but "60 Minutes" would make you
believe otherwise.
We must cease labeling issues in terms of the
political spectrum. So often good ideas are
rejected because they are labeled (or supported
by the) left or right.
Handgun control is probably the best
example. For decades, sensible legislators have
tried to formulate a policy to limit the most
dangerous of the handguns available in Americi
today—Saturday night specials. Yet the minuto
any legislation concerning these deadly weapon!
comes up, the radical right stirs up a mass o
people who don't own Saturday night special!
and would never own such a dangerous gun.
All the time-honored catch phrases appear
and the legislation is once again buried.
Both the radical right and left prey on
ignorance.
Weallmustthink about and study the issues oi
the day. Nuclear war, the environment, equa
rights and countless other pressing nationa
problems must be addressed. We can't just leave
it to Ronald Reagan.
For our democratic system to survive, we all
must get informed and get involved. Our
government cannot make it without a know
ledgeab^ public.

Real issues clouded
Editor, The Plainsman,
As a student who has always waved the
banner of conservatism proudly, I am deeply
concerned and a bit dismayed at some of the
political developments since the November
elections. These concerns are not due to
President Reagan; he is fast becoming the great
president I always felt he would be. What I am
concerned about is the fact that the "new right"
as they are called are taking actions which run
contrary to the very heart of what conservatism
has always meant to me.
Conservatism to me has always stood for less
intervention in our lives by the government, less
bureaucracy and government spending and a
very high regard for freedom of choice for the
individual on issues pertaining to personal and
family life.
Now after years of volunteer campaigning for
conservative candidates, who were usually
soundly defeated by the Democrats in this state,
victory seemed to finally have arrived this fall.
But after less than a year in D.C., it is
becoming quite obvious that many members of
the movement I had placed my faith in intend to
use the same distasteful methods as their
"liberal" counterparts have for 30 years.
Is it any less intrusive on an individual's life to
seek to mandate to him what television show he
can watch or magazine he can read than it is to
zone or bus him to a certain school? And is it any
less bureaucratic and insane for Sen. Denton to
introduce a bill to establish a government
agency for adolescent chastity than it is for the
left to develop bureaucracies to pressure
employers to hire on the basis of sex and race
quotas instead of initiative and talent? I say no.
The only conclusion that can be drawn from
this is that ideological tags are ever-changing
and relative to the events and circumstances of
the times.
I hope all who believe in optimal personal
freedom will not be lost in this tide of pompous
righteousness being propagated by the Moral
Majority types but instead will discern the real
issues that should be addressed in Washington.

Editor, The Plainsman,
As an engineering student, I was well aware of
the financial problems faced by the School of
Engineering, but I was surprised to read the
School of Veterinary Medicine was also in bad
shape, since if Auburn has a good nationwide
reputation for anything, it's the vet school.
So I felt sorry for the vet school for a few days,
but only for a few days. For the day before the
Plainsman arrived at my house with the good
news that cat lover Grace Kemper had endowed
$91,737 to the vet school, an article appeared in
the Aug. 9 Miami Herald.
This is the story of a dog lover, the late Eleanor
Elizabeth Ritchey of Fort Lauderdale. She was
the granddaughter of the founder of Quaker
State Oil Refining Co. Rather than limit herself
to two pets as Mrs. Kemper did, she had more,
many more, 150 to be exact.
One day she asked her dogs' veterinarian, Dr.
Ivan Frederickson, "if he knew of any worthy
institution to which she could leave a little
money. He suggested Auburn University's
School of Veterinary Science."
On Oct. 14,1968, Eleanor Ritchey died. Her
estate was worth $4.3 million, including real
estate and Quaker Oil stock. The money was to
be used to care for her dogs, until they all died.
"At that time, or after 20 years, whichever came
first, the money was to be turned over to
Auburn."
The will was contested , and $2 million was
given to relatives, while the executor, Century
National Bank and its attorney split $900,000. In
1974, it was estimated the bank received $32,000
annually to handle the estate.
Also, since the early 1970s Auburn's vet
school has been collecting all interest on the
estate after dog expenses, about $600,000
yearly, And, of course, 150 dogs eat a lot of chow.
But this is not the story of an estate dwindling
to nothing before the beneficiary can take over.
The 13 years have been kind to real estate and
Quaker State, if not to the rich dogs.
The estate is currently "worth about $11.5
million and earns an estimated $2,300 in interest
daily." The number of dogs is down to eight:
Naomie, Horace, Musketeer, Shorty Spot and
four others. Frederickson said "They're just like
old machines, wearing out. I'd give them another
two years at most."
I'm surprised that the Plainsman hasn't
reported on this story. Maybe no one
remembered after 13 years, and I imagine the
vet school wouldn't want to bring it up as it may
hurt its claim of being in bad financial shape,
Of course, 111 be the first to admit it needs
money now and not in two years, but at least they
know the money is on the way, which is more
than the School of Engineering can; say.

Editor, The Plainsman,
Sure, Pat Dye deserves every word of praise
his coaching performances have inspired.
Comments by Keith Uecker in last week's
Plainsman, plus those of several other Auburn
athletes during the past few months verify this,
as do Dye's records at East Carolina and
Wyoming. Auburn should be considered
fortunate to employ Dye as head coach.
But have we cut our throats by employing Dye
as athletic director? First, he drops the most
competitive and traditional wrestling program
in this part of the country, and now I understand'
Student lobby says thanks
Editor, The Plainsman,
As members of the Auburn University
Student Lobby Committee, we would like to
thank you for your support of our efforts. As
your article stated, we feel that we accomplished
a great deal in Montgomery. We look forward to
our continued work with the Alabama Legisla­ture.
It is understandable that with the massive
amount of information being thrown out at our
evaluation meeting that a few things could be
misconstrued.
A statement was made by a member of the
group expressing displeasure about the gover­nor's
concern for higher education. However,
this statement does not reflect the consensus of
the group. The statement was a personal
observation by one of the members of the group.
A statement was also made concerning Lt.
Gov. McMillan's differences of opinion with the
governor. The differences pertained to the
funding of public education in Alabama and
nothing else. We were also impressed with the
lieutenant governor's strong support of higher
education and his concern for the future of
Alabama. _
With the continued support of more legis­lative
leaders such as McMillan, McCorquodale,
and Sen. Ted Little, the future of higher
education can become brighter. The student
lobbyists of the SGA will continue to work hard
for Auburn and higher education.

Editor, The Plainsman,
WEGL-FM is now taking applications for chief

should be electrical engineering students
preferably with a first or second class
radio-telephone license. Broadcast or radio

needed.
The engineer will be responsible for installing
and maintaining all station equipment. Appli­cations

WEGL-General Manager
Dye is considering moving some of next year's
home football games to Birmingham.
I respect alumni and big bucks as much as the
next guy, but Birmingham is no home field for
Auburn. That's more than a two-hour drive from
here. Atlanta is at least as close to Auburn. Why
not just rent Grant Field or play the games oh
Sunday as part of doubleheaders with the
Falcons? ~
I hope Dye will pay attention to Brian Love's
article in the week's Plainsman. Otherwise the
coach will probably think it's expected of him to
wear a hound's tooth hat on the Auburn sidelines
this fall.

Ideas inefficient
Editor, The Plainsman,
Recently, I was involved in a series of events
which, to me, suggested the inefficiency of some
of the ideas behind the administration of Auburn
University.
A friend from home had asked me to turn in
her application for fall 1982 to the Admissions
Office. I did this on Tuesday, Aug. 11, telling the
secretary the application was for fall 1982.
Asking only if the application fee were enclosed,
she took the application.
When I arrived home that Friday, I found out
the Admissions Office had returned the
application in a letter postmarked Aug. 11—the
day I dropped off the application.
The letter had arrived on Thursday, Aug. 13,
and requested she return her application on or
after Aug. 17—four days later.
Convenience, efficiency and the image of
Auburn might have been better served by a little
good judgment, even by putting this application
in the bottom of a drawer until Monday.

"I personally don't know of any
place in my state where a man is
disenfranchised from voting be­cause
he is black," Nichols said.
When asked about tax credits for
private schools, Nichols said, "I
can't see any substitute for public
schools and can't see funding pri­vate
ones."
Nichols contended, "This is a

definitely the most conservative
Congress he has ever been part of, he
feels It speaks to the tone and tempo

He is a member of the Conser­vative

Southern Democrats. "It's made up
of what we would call 'good-old

things, we're called the Boll

The Democratic Party has been
controlled in the recent past more by
liberals than his district justified,
said Nichols. That's why the caucus
was formed, to steer the party a little
closer to the center, he added.

Locals to take walk
for ERA's ratification
By Diane Wilson
Plainsman Staff writer
Supporters of the Equal Rights
Amendment will be walking across
Alabama between Aug. 18 and 22 in
"The Last Walk for ERA."
Judy Lewis, who is organizing
walkers from the Auburn-Opelika
area, said that a lot of support has
come from local chapters of the
National Organization for Women
(NOW). Teams of four marchers
will begin in Mobile and in Ardmore
and walk to Montgomery, she said.
A rally will be held on Saturday, the
last day of the march, in front of the
Capitol. Saturday is Women's
Equality Day, Lewis explained.
"People can walk, run, skip or
whatever they want," Lewis said.
Other people will drive along with
the runners to substitute along the
way, she said. Lewis saidaboutsix
people from Auburn are participat­ing
in the walk. Exams and planning
vacations are two reasons why more
people from Auburn are not walk­ing,
she said.
Walks, marathons and other
events taking place this week are
part of a nationwide project to
arouse support for the amendment,
Lewis said.
June 1982 is the expiration date for
the amendment, Lewis explained.
Three more states will have to ratify
the ERA before it can be adopted.
"Its chances are anybody's guess
now," she said. "We'll work for it
until the last day. It's an important
thing to work for even if it- doesn't
pass. It is the principle now whether
it passes or not."
Lewis said that NOW and other
supporters of the issue are planning
more projects for the fall and will be
doing something each month until
the ERA's expiration date, but,
Lewis said that, "we'll continue to
work for it even if it is defeated."
'Don't look back. Something may be gaining on you."

Auburn must find quarterback starter before opener
By Bill Wagnon
Plainsman Sportswriter
*
The Auburn football team opened
practice on Monday with no clear-cut
quarterback and at least four-to-six
strong contenders for the job, of
which none has taken control.
At a press conference on Satur­day,
Coach Pat Dye said, "Offens­ively,
we need to settle the issue of
who will be our quarterback.
Nothing has changed.
"The freshmen will get some'
work, but they will not be as far
along as the others who got to work in
the spring," he said.
Asked about the possibility of
Charles Thomas' playing another
position if he doesn't emerge as the
top quarterback, Dye said that
Thomas would not be moved.
"I thought about that, and he
would do us more good as a backup
quarterback. He is a great athlete,
but I can't see trying to get him
ready to play in the secondary or
elsewhere.
"I think he would rather play
quarterback. He has proven that he
is a good enough athlete to play pro
football at some position. If he's
good enough there is no reason he
can't play quarterback in the pros.
"I am really excited about his
playing quarterback at Auburn. I

.Thomas, Sullivan andCampbell discuss the upcoming season
am excited about Joe Sullivan,
Randy Campbell and John Murphy,
the Walk-on from Birmingham. We
just have to settle the issue on who is
going to play.
"We will go into the TCU game
planning to play two quarterbacks.
Maybe even three. It will be so hot,
we will have to play two quarter­backs.
I like to play two quarter­backs,"
he said.
Sophomore Randy Campbell, se­lected
the "Most Improved Quarter­back"
in the spring, finished atop
the depth chart mainly because he
was the only quarterback to stay
healthy.
Campbell said, "It's going to be
tough. I like to think my chances are
good, and I hope to get to play and
contribute to the team."
Asked about how he felt about
using two quarterbacks, Campbell
said, "Thisoffenseisbetterformore
quarterbacks because of the beating
and punishment they take."
Junior Joe Sullivan, who emerged
last season as the starting quarter­back,
said, "We are all ready just to
get started back. I know everyone
will do the best he can."
Asked about using two quarter­backs,
Sullivan said, "We played
with two quarterbacks last year,
and it's a great feeling to know there
is someone else there to help. It's
like having a second pair of eyes."
Sophomore John Murphy is a
walk-on from Vestavia High School
in Birmingham. Murphy walked on
at Tennessee two years ago before
coming to Auburn. At Vestavia,
Murphy was coached by Larry
Blakeney, who now coaches Au-
Conference to have tough title race
When the 1981 college football
season begins on Sept. 5, many
Southeastern Conference fans will
te wondering if the SEC can retain
'.s dominance of the national cham­pionship.
During three out of the last four
years, a SEC team has either won
the national championship or has
shared the title.
According to the 'experts', the
SEC has as much talent as any other
conference in the country, and with
this abundance of talent the SEC
title is up for grabs. Although there
are only five teams who seem to
have a chance at winning the title •
Alabama, Mississippi State,
Florida, Georgia and LSU; the other
teams in the conference will play a
big part in deciding who will be the
SEC representative at the Sugar
Bowl.
The major factors that will decide
the SEC champion besides playing
good football will be scheduling and
lack of injuries to key players.
Georgia, who is the SE C defending
champion, has one of the lightest
schedules in the SEC. Facing only
six SEC opponents, Georgia will be
led by All-American Herschel
Walker on offense.
However, Georgia will have to
find replacements for 16 starters off
last year's national championship
team. If Coach Vince Dooley can fill
these positions with top caliber
players, it looks like the Bulldogs
maybe in the thick of the title race in
November.
The team most pre-season publi­cations
picked to be on top of the SEC
at the end of the regular season this
year is Alabama. Alabama goes into
this season with a little extra
incentive because if the Tide wins
nine games this year, Coach Paul'
'Bear' Bryant will have 314 career
victories and become college foot­ball's
winningest coach.
The Tide plays a relatively easy
schedule this year especially in the
SEC. The Tide will face LSU in its
season opener on national tele­vision,
but then, it will not play
another top SEC team until Oct. 31,
when Mississippi State comes to
Tuscaloosa.
Alabama returns four starters on
offense, but Bryant has not decided

The U.S. Swimming Nationals was held in Milwaukee over the weekend
and several Auburn swimmers participated in the meet. Senior Steve
Wood finished eighth in the 200 meter freestyle final. Junior Steve Smith
finished fourth in the 100 meter butterfly (55.3) and ninth in the 200
butterfly (2:01). Annie Lett placed fourth in the 100 freestyle, earning
herself a spot in the upcoming United States-Soviet Union swimming
competition.
The annual Skywriters tour visited Auburn Wednesday with.
sportswriters from throughout the South. The writers had a press
conference with Coach Pat Dye then watched the Tigers go through drills
in the afternoon.
Bishop Reeves, Auburn's starting center and one of three returning
starting linemen for the Tigers this fall, tore ligaments in his ankle during
a routine practice Monday and will be out of action in definitely .Reeves
underwent surgery Tuesday in Columbus.
Terry Leach, a former Auburn Tiger baseball pitcher, has been called
up for action by the New York Mets from its farm league team the.
Tidewater Tides. Leach lost his first game of his major league career to
the Philadelphia Phillies.
Former Tiger placekicker Jorge Portello was cut Tuesday by the
Buffalo Bills. The 1980 Auburn graduate was cut last season by the
Atlanta Falcons.
Intramural Softball champions are TheMafiaintheCo-Recleague ana J

am the man for the job, but I have to
prove it to myself and the coaches. I
stayed out most of the spring and
didn't get too much work.
' 'I really love this offense because
of myability to run. I also completed
68 percent of my passes last year.
The wishbone is the best for Auburn
because of the low number of
turnovers. It will make a big
difference whether we win or lose,''
he said.
Coach Alex Gibbs, offensive co­ordinator
and quarterback coach
said, "We will be very experienced
at the quarterback position this
year. We have both quarterbacks
back from last year, along with
Campbell and Murphy. It is just a
matter of who gets it going.
"It is better to use two quarter­backs
in this league because they
usually knock one out. Most of the
teams in the league go with two
quarterbacks also," he said.
Auburn signed two highly re­garded
quarterbacks this year,
Clayton Beauford and Ken Hobby,
who could get into the picture before
the year is over.
Beauford is a 5-foot-il, 185-pound
quarterback from Palatka High,
Palatka, ; Fla., who gained 1,400
yards rushing and 1,100 yards
passing his senior season while
running the wishbone. He also
averaged 11.3 yards per rush and
about 26 yards per completion.
Hobby is a 6-foc-l, 190-pound,
quarterback from Tift County High,
Tifton, Ga., where as a three-year
starter he accounted for 68 touch­downs,
28 rushing and 40 passing. He
also gained 4,245 yards passing and
2,048 yards rushing.
The coaches have only seen the
freshmen for three days in shorts,
butDyesaid, "Itis quite evident that
Clayton Beauford has a uickness and
speed. He will get into the picture
quickly returning kicks."
Gibbs said, "It appears we have
two fine freshmen. I have only seen
chem three days in shorts, and they
haven't been tackled or learned the
•offense yet.
"They both have potential and
how well they progress will be the
key. We just hope that we can play
them," he said.
It appears that the quarterbacks
on the 1981 edition of the Auburn
Tigers will have some of the best
potential and provide more depth
than in recent years, it is just a
matter of someone's taking charge.
SBC Frontpage 7.
who will be his starting quarterback
for the coming season. However,
what the Tide lacks on offense is
gained back on the defense with
Ail-American candidates line­backer
Thomas Boyd and defensive
backs Tommy Wilcox and Jimbob
Harris.
Mississippi State, the team that
ended Alabama's 28-game winning
streak last year, looks like a team
capable of winning the SEC title.
The Bulldogs must beat some tough
opponents, including Alabama,
Florida and LSU, to be in contention
for the championship at the end of
the season.
Returning 13 starters from last
year, State will be led on offense by.
sophomore quarterback John
Bond who was the fourth leading
rusher in the SEC. last year.
If Coach Emory Bellard cannot
get his triple-option offense running
smoothly, All-American candidate
linebacker Johnnie Cooks and his
defensive counterparts will have
their hands full. The Bulldogs look
ready to compete with anybody this
year, and this is the reason some of
the pre-season publications picked
the Bulldogs to finish on top of the
SEC.
The Florida Gators return 15
starters from last year's 8-4 team,
and this year the Gators are ready to
challenge anyone who takes the field
against them.
The strong/part of the Florida
attack this year will be on offense
when the top four rushers from the
' 1980 team return. Led by quarter­back
Wayne Peace, the Gators will
surely be in the race for the
championship if they get by back-to-back
games during the middle of the
season against LSU and Mississippi
State with no major injuries.
The final team that looks capable
of having a chance of winning the
SEC title is LSU. Coach Jerry
Stovall returns for his second year
as Bengal mentor, and he surely
can'tbetoopleased with the first two
games of the season because he
must open the season against
Alabama and then travel to South
Bend, Ind., to face the Fighting Irish
of Notre Dame.
LSU returns 15 starters including
quarterback Alan Risher who threw
for 971 yards last year. Many
'experts' think LSU is one season
away from a SEC title, but if the
Bengals do not have any major
injuries during the first two games
theycouldcomeon strong during the
middle of the season.
The following predictions of how
the SEC teams will finish in the
conference this year were made by
Sports Editor , Brian Love and
myself after we studied the sche­dules
and the talent of all of the SEC
teams, 1. Alabama 2. Georgia 3.
Florida4. LSU5. Mississippi State 6.
Tennessee 7. Auburn 8. Kentucky 9.
Mississippi 10. Vanderbilt.

UPC ends its summer movies with battle of the sexes
If approaching finals are stirring
feelings of frustration and making
you want to lash out against
something—relay and settle back
for some rounds as others do the
fighting when the UPC free movie
shows "a glove story" this weekend
with the "Main Event."
Barbra Streisand stars in this
attempted throwback to the '30s and
'40s style fighting love stories
where the heroine and hero immedi­ately
dislike each other at meeting.
Ryan O'Neal plays her partner in
their battle of the wits as they bicker
and banter before eventually
acknowledging their attraction for
one another.
True to her usual portrayals,
Streisand plays the fast-talking
aggressive woman. In "Main
Event" she stars as a prospering
perfume manufacturer. But after
her own business goes broke she's
left to take over as manager to an
idle prize-fighter (O'Neal) who she
demands to get back into fighting to
help build up her assets.
Yet O'Neal is a man after his own
skin and against fighting after an
absence of a few years. And he's not
too fond of the sport as it might hurt
him occasionally, although he is
fond of physical contact between
himself and Streisand, though not in
a fighting way.
But with Streisand pushing and
punching her way through verbally,
part of the time anyway, she gets
O'Neal to get back in the ring. Their
arguing, about who, when, where
and even if he'll fight, fuels the
love-hate fire:between them.
O 'Neal gets his big match after he
and Streisand scream and strike at
each other in the ring in a publicity
stunt to attract attention to O'Neal.
In training for the big day, O'Neal
heads to a camp in the mountains
withanall-malestaff, and Streisand
follows along in an attempt to
manage him, in more than one way.
Living in a cabin with. the staff,
as they continually surprise "and
scare her with talk of their ways and
the wild outdoors, Streisand
switches roles. She goes from pushy
to passive in her efforts to attract
O'Neal after he has stopped chasing
her and devoted his energy to the
fight.
Apart from Streisand's parading
around for all movie goers to
analyze her bottom feature, this
movie offers some good scenes and
one of O'Neal's better portrayals
since "Paper Moon" featured his
verbal tug of wars with his daughter
Tatum.
If you can settle for less dialogue
and good lines than the earlier
classics between Hepburn and
Spencer, and if you can wait long
enough to see Streisand in an
uncommonly passive performance
as the film reaches a comical, peak
at the training camp, then it's
' decidedly a movie worth the trip—
especially for the price, and the
comfort of a cool, dark theater.
The "Main Event" shows Friday
through Sunday at 8 each night.
Admission is one student ID per two
people.

Theatre professor urges creativity
By Karen Lovoy
Copy Editor
"We really need, in Alabama,
some kind of basic unit that pro­motes
kids."
This statement by Dr. Ralph
Miller, associate professor in the
Auburn University theatre depart­ment,
exhibits the responsibility he
feels toward Alabama grade school
children to introduce them to a
progressive educational concept,
Creative Dramatics.
Creative Dramatics is an "inte-grated
philosophy of teaching," said
Miller. The purpose of this concept is
to introduce children to the arts at an
arly age and teach them t o ' 'look at
life a little more creatively."
The aim of Creative Dramatics is
to make learning more "activlty-riented"
because this is a better
way for children to "assimilate
Information," Miller said.
Miller explained that his main
role in Creative Dramatics is pre-entingit
to teachers as a "creative
method of teaching," although he
ilso works some with the children in
eparate workshops.
Children act out history stories
•ut without an audience; public
lerformance is not recommended
jntil the junior high age, said Miller.
'We're not putting on little plays,"
le added. There is no pressure to
memorize; children use their own
words, he explained.
Miller is heavily involved with
cting and directing, which he
considers his specialties. But for the
last three years, whenever he has
The
Most
Appreciated
Gifts
the time, he conducts various
Creative Dramatics weekend work­shops
for teachers around the state
because he sees "such a need for it."
"When I first came down here I
was appalled at how many teachers
had not heard of it," he said.
Miller emphasized the impor­tance
of the Creative Dramatics
method as a "tool in the public
school system'' and' 'not just a frill''
that canbe cutback during financial
hardships.
"(We) must integrate it into the
curriculum. Teachers realize Crea­tive
Dramatics helps teach basics,''
he said.
Miller aided in requiring that a
course in Creative Dramatics be­come
part of the curriculum for
elementary education majors. The
theatre department has taught the
course for the past seven years.
Miller believes that exposure to
the arts is "part of what a college
education should be." Without the
arts one is "not a totally educated
person," he said.
Miller is gratified by the obvious
results of Creative Dramatics as
well as the potential benefit to the
arts. "Kidsget excited about school,
it's fun to watch," he said.
Creative Dramatics is "not just
for the bright kids," Miller explain­ed.
"It helps underachievers to
achieve. (The children) enjoy
school; they become more extro­verted.
(Their) communication
skills improve," he said.
Creative Dramatics has received
varied reactions among the school
systems. "(Creative Dramatics) is
not extremely well accepted by
administrators who want every­thing
cut and dried,'' Miller said.' 'A
lot of administrators like to stifle
creativity," he added.
The "grey areas" of Creative
Dramatics bother administrators,
Miller said.' 'How do you test it? " he
added.
Miller tries to win over the
teachers to the advantages of
Creative Dramatics. "Once we get
the teachers on our side they handle
everything else," he said.
Miller is a busy man outside of his
involvement with Creative Drama­tics.
He directs musicals, such as the
recently performed "Grease" pre­sented
by Summer Repertory The­atre.
He also acts with Auburn
University television and is presi­dent
of the Alabama Theatre
League. However, he is modest
when summing up his efforts with
helping children through this move­ment.
' 'There was a vacuum there-I just
kind of filled it."

Kermit takes lead in latest caper
Quiz time:
Who is the most exciting, sensual
male lead in Hollywood films to­day?
Give up? It's the one and only
Kermit the Frog.
Yes, the little green foam rubber
creation of Jim Henson actually
steals the scenes from such greats
as Charles Grodin, Diana Rigg,
Peter Ustinov and John Cleese.
True, Kermit is a superstar in his
own right; he simply gets caught up
in bad screenplay in his new movie,
"The Great Muppet Caper."
"The Great Muppet Caper leaves
a lot to be desired; it simply has too
few high spots and too much "let's
see if we can make a puppet look like
t doesn't have a hand up its back."
More time should have been devoted
to the development of characters
than to the special effects. I mean,
are Fozzie and Kermit really
brothers? What kind of animal is
Gonzo anyway? I know i I wanted
more.
The good thing about this movie
compared to Its predecessor is that
all these frogs, bears, pigs and
Gonzos are more entwined in the
lives of the normal world. It almost
makes it seem like a frog wearing a
tophat and tails would not be such an
uncommon sight. The viewer begins
to conceive Charles Grodin falling In
love with a pig. (Not to worry, it's a
"G" rating • Miss Piggy keeps her
clothes on.)
The high spots In the film consist
mostly of big Hollywood-style pro­duction
scenes straight from the
golden 'era of the film Industry.
Kermit and Miss Piggy hoof It up in a
Fred Astaire-Ginger Rodgers mot­if,
-Miss Piggy also gets her ham-hocks
wet in a Hollywood swimming
pool full of singing sea nymphs.
The human actors and actresses
aren't too bad either considering
they're playing second to someone's
hand.
Monty Python's John Cleese
provides hands down the funniest
scene in the movie. The very British
Cleese and his recluse wife are
suddenly Interrupted from their
intriguing conversation of the
weather by the sight of a pig (our
heroine) climbing up the side of
their plush house.
E ven though the talented Muppets
and the equally talented humans
were submitted to a dull storyline,
they managed to pull off a halfway
decent, Saturday afternoon movie.
Let's just say it should have been
titled "The Mediocre Muppet
Caper."
- OregTankeraley
"The Great Muppet Caper'' Is now
playing at The Midway Plaza Twin
Munchkins measure high quality in 'Rainbow'
What do you get when a paranoid
duke, his space-cadet wife, a Secret
Service agent, midget Nazi spy, his
Japanese contact and 150 dwarfs
run amok in the same hotel? "Under
The Rainbow," of course.
Chevy Chase stars as agent Bruce
Thorpe, assigned to guard the duke
(Joe Maher) from assassination.
Eve Arden as the duchess spends
most of the movie on a different
plane of reality. Carrie Fisher (best
known for her role as the princess in
the "Star Wars" series) is respons­ible
for keeping up with the dwarfs,
who are to be cast as Munchkins in
"The Wizard of Oz."
The little people, however, are two
steps ahead of everyone and their
antics make the Deltas of "Animal
House" infamy look like the Wo­men's
Temperance Union in com­parison.
The two featured little people are
Billy Barty (founder of the little
People of America) and Cork
Hubbert. Barty is a riot as a Nazi spy
who, as Nazis will do, insists on
disrupting the revelry. Hubbert
shows promise in his pseudo-
Dorothy role as he lives out the
movie's theme, "no dream is too big
