LEADERSHIP

209

WHAT HAVE YOU GAINED BY SPENDING FOUR YEARS AT AUBURN?

Knowing people, individually and collectively, stands out in my mind as the most meaningful
experience of my four years at Auburn . Without exception , each person that I have come in contact
with has been motivated by the desire to get the most out of life and equally, without exception ,
each person has chosen his own unique method of attaining this quality of life. Some people have
tried to "make it" in athletics, organizations, and endeavors of personal glory. Others seek satisfaction
in sex, drugs, religion , or social involvement.

My life has been no exception to this search for fulfillment . I have found real meaning and purpose
for my life in the person of Jesus Christ . He alone has been able to give me the power to love
and to respect people as they are. He supplies all that I had previously searched for-love for others,
purpose in life, power beyond my limitations , peace in any circumstance, and joy which comes
from experiencing the most that life has to offer. I now realize that society's problems are nothing
but the collective problems of individuals-people who are still searching for the fulfillment that
only Jesus can deliver intellectually and realistically, not just emotionally. My years at Auburn have
taught me how to make a living, but a first century Gallilean has taught me how to live.

HOW DOES AUBURN DIFFER
FROM WHAT YOU EXPECTED?

The first surprise to me was the hospitality of the people
here, and their friendly attitude towards the foreign stu-
dents . I never expected to have as many good friends as
I have now in the very short period that I have been in
Auburn. And the girls . .. they are so friendly and loveable.
Their smiling faces all across campus make me happy all
day.

Before I came to Auburn , I thought racial discrimination
was a way of daily life throughout the South, but the
problem is not nearly as serious in real ity. The people,
though , are much more conservative than I expected. It
is hard for me to believe that I cannot buy a bottle of
beer at any store, any day that I want one.

My greatest disappointment has been the lack of con-
cern shown by the majority of students toward international
problems. They express neither a humanitarian interest
in the affairs of other peoples , nor a curiosity to learn about
them .

WHAT INVOLVEMENT DOES A UNIVERSITY STUDENT
OWE TO HIS COUNTRY?

As university students , we owe our country total involvement . We have
the potential to be members of the most informed electorate in the history
of the United States. We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear,
firsthand , literally hundreds of prominent speakers with diversified views
ranging from those of Sloane Coffin to Senator John Tower.

In the past , too much involvement has been directed toward tearing
down or overthrowing " the system ". Some good policy re-evaluation may
have resulted, but death, bloodshed, grief, bitterness, and greater disunity
have been far too high a price to pay. As students , we must learn to
work within the system so that we can effectively bring about the changes
that will make it represent us.

We must learn the issues and then decide which leaders embody our
views. We must then actively push for the representation of the leader.
If we should find that we cannot reconcile our views to those candidates
offered , we must prepare ourselves to attempt to fill these positions of
leadership. No matter how much we resent inheriting a polluted , war-torn
world , the past cannot be relived and the future is ours. Over 90% of
the Auburn student body is now entitled to vote in national elections!
Are you involved?

WHAT IS YOUR OPINION OF
"THE REVOLUTION"?

Radical students see The Revolution as a panacea
somewhat as nineteenth century freedmen saw the Day
of Jubilee, when they would receive forty-acres and
a mule. Many simply wait for the great day which did
not work in the nineteenth century and appears to be
unlikely of success today. The world has problems that
have to be met now regardless of revolutionary ideal-
ism . What good is a revolution on a garbage heap the
size of North America? The next logical step i.e. active
revolution is one into morass, for even granting some
success against the forces of the establishment, the
only very likely result (barring the immediate creation
of a new power structure) is anarchy, followed by the
emergence of some form of centralized government
to recreate some stability. We have come full circle
(a circuit historically traveled by radical revolutions)
except that the new establishment is quite likely not
to be amenable to the people-it won 't forget what
the people did to its predecessor.

Agreement on the need for change is easy to reach ,
but we may cease to exist as a species if we cannot
come to some common ground on the means to
change . Neither dropping out nor burning down is a
viable alternative; today's student must resist the al-
most ineluctable pressure to be bourgeoise and must
internally reform the system , unless he opts to die.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE
THE AUBURN CO-ED?

I believe that Auburn women are sincere, " down-to-
earth " individuals who are here at Auburn searching for
a purpose in life or fulfilling part of the purpose that they
have already found to be theirs. Most girls enjoy an exten-
sive social life, while at the same time perform well aca-
demically. They are aware of their changing role and im-
portance as women and are preparing themselves to do
something worthwhile as individuals, not just as wives
through husbands. I feel the majority of Auburn women
will not only be able to meet the responsibilities of being
a successful homemaker, or having a successful career,
but will be able to meet all of life successfully . They are
happy, friendly people and although they are concerned
with the " outside , real world ," the central focus in their
life during college years is here at Auburn .

DO GREEKS PROVIDE LEADERSHIP IN
THE CONTEMPORARY COLLEGE SOCIETY?

The initial step of joining a fraternity indicates a personality willing
to become involved in all aspects of college life. Not only does a
fraternity build leadership, but it also supplies its leaders with man-
power and support. Consequently, Greeks are the predominate force
behind leadership on campus . This is not right or wrong; it only in-
dicates that the fraternity system is a successful vehicle for the attain-
ment of leadership positions. Each fraternity has a sphere of influ-
ence-because he is a member of the group, one finds himself inter-
ested in what his brothers say and do whether or not he agrees with
them . This teaches him to work together for achievement of a common
goal and gives him an appreciation of the manner in which things
function-an outlook on how change occurs. The fraternity men of
today are involved in the constant quest for improvement, not at a
devastating rate, but by working within the lines of reason for the
best long range goal.

WHAT ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
TO AUBURN AS A BLACK STUDENT?

HOW DO YOU EVALUATE AUBURN'S EDUCATION SYSTEM?

I feel that in some fields , Auburn does offer its students a quality education, but here, as at
any institution of learning , there is always room for improvement .

Many problems exist which do not have immediate and easy solutions. Lack of funds, inflation,
unnecessary and unrelated courses are problems which are present . All fields of study are advancing
so rapidly today that it is almost impossible to keep up with them, and Auburn , like most southern
institutions, is behind .

Receiving an education , however, is not a passive thing. The quality of an education depends
upon the person who receives it. It is up to the individual to make the most of his opportunities,
to assure himself of a quality education . He may not be receiving what he should in the classroom ,
but he must care enough to do something about it. He often gripes and fumes, but he must also
do something-this is every student 's responsibifity .

HOW HAS THE ATMOSPHERE ON CAMPUS
CHANGED SINCE YOU HAVE BEEN AT AUBURN?

it would never happen , but at last it's acceptable to be different.

HORIZONS

"Horizons" 70-71 is designed to promote student interest
and participation in current issues. The object throughout
the symposiums has been entertainment as well as aca-
demic awareness.

" Horizons" attempted to involve the entire Auburn Com-
munity by placing emphasis on all phases of the university
spectrum . Speakers have been engaged in the fields of
education , women's liberation, politics, engineering, space
exploration and consumer affairs.

The goal of the Executive Cabinet is to stimulate
student interest and participation in all phases of
the university community. In an effort to achieve
this goal the cabinet emphasized an expanded
Student Services program which includes the Off-
Campus Association; the Horizon Symposium
which brought such personalities as Ralph Nader
to campus; and renewed emphasis on Operation
Involvement which is aimed at stimulating interest
and participation in the Student Government Asso-
ciation.

Other areas of activity by the Executive Cabinet
included Academic Affairs, Teacher-Course Evalu-

previously unused political power this year by
obtaining approval by the University for an
Open House program similar to the one which
was enacted last year in the Senate's fraternity
houses. Most of the Senate's activities, how-
ever, are of a social or service nature.

This year the Mag Dorm Senate sponsored
several dances, various division parties, and
float-stuffing parties for the Wreck Tech Parade
and Homecoming. The Senate provided service
to the dorm in the form of improvements made
through the action of the Housing and Food
Service Committees. Service was also ex-
tended to the community through a Christmas
Party which was held for the underprivileged
children of the area.

Pretty girls in orange and blue, the War Eagle
Girls are seen continually during the school year
conducting tours of the campus, recruiting high
school athletes, and receiving distinguished guests
of the University. They work through the Public
Relations Office of the University, and in this ca-
pacity, serve as the Official Student hostesses of
Auburn.

Also working with them are the Plainsmen , who
serve as student hosts and perform similar func-
tions. Selected each spring through a series of
interviews, the War Eagle Girls and Plainsmen put
in much time and effort in serving the school.

AWS

Midnight of May 21 , 1970, found a small but vocal group
of coeds on the President's lawn protesting for the abo-
lishment of women's rules. Instead of protesting , the AWS
officers continued to work with the administration which
they believed to be the proper channels. The AWS goal
was not the absence of all regulations but a condition
which would allow women to become educated, self deter-
mining individuals.

The objective of AWS for responsible freedom has not
been reached overnight, but substantial progress has been
made . Seniors and coeds over 21 were extended the privi-
lege of self regulating hours for fall quarter. Another step
was made Winter quarter as the privilege was extended
to Juniors with parental permission . Although all their
requests have not been granted , they have made progress
while other methods have failed.

Work continues on rules changes, but AWS has also
been involved in other programs to benefit the Auburn
women. Relevant issues such as birth control and drug
abuse were topics for AWS sponsored programs . In a new
project, AWS provided means of communication between
students and faculty through forums held in the freshmen
dorms.

Efforts were made to further women 's rights on campus
and to increase the effectiveness of past programs avail-
ability. Married students housing and ticket privileges for
husbands were sought for women students. The effec-
tiveness of the tutoring service, Junior counselor and big
sister programs were increased to better orient the fresh-
man women to the campus.

By being aware of the needs and problems of Auburn 's
women, AWS not only serves them but also gives strength
to their ideas. With support rather than criticism , it can
more effectively serve as a springboard for progress.

AIR FORCE ROTC Th e Professor of Aerospace Stu dies, Colo nel R itc hie P. Stimpson

During the past year the Air Force
ROTC program at Auburn was one of
the finest in the nation . In the academic
year '69- '70 , Auburn was one of four
schools in the country to begin training
and commiss ioning young women in
the Air Force. This year the program
was expanded , with 18 Freshmen and
Sophomore women enrolling in
AFROTC classes in the Fall Quarter.

With the change to a voluntary ROTC
program, the number of students en-
rolling in AFROTC dropped . Fewer stu-
dents in the classes as well as in the
formations at Leadership Laboratory
have given the staff of the Air Force
Aerospace Studies Department more
opportunity for personal contact with
individual students . Th is, along with an
increased chance for participation by
Freshman and Sophomore students,
changes in curriculum to make the
course of study more meaningful and
revelant and more available Air Force
Scholarships , has resulted in a dy-
namic, aggressive training and educa-
tion environment.

STEERAGE

Steerage Naval Honorary was formed to recognize midship-
men who excell academically in their Naval and university
endeavors.

The group, under the guidance of Lt. Leo Taflin and Pres-
ident Russ Gandy , performs such functions as the selection
of the Navy Color Girl (Bunny Buist), compiling of the NROTC
yearbook (Breakwater), publishing a quarterly newsletter
(Helm), and initiating recruitment programs.

All is not work, however . Steerage sponsors parties through-
out the year and has a Dining Out in the spring quarter; but
the main purpose is to serve the University, the NROTC pro-
gram, and its individual members.
