Field narrows for potential presidents
By Lynne Hopkins
News Editor
The Presidential Search Com­mittee
has met twice the past
week, with the number of presi­dential
candidates being nar­rowed
down from 275 to 50, said
Trustee Robert Lowder, chair­man
of the committee.
The committee met last Wed­nesday
in closed meetings in Foy
Union. The committee met in
three subcommittees in the morn­ing
to review applicants and nar­row
down the number of candi­dates.
In the afternoon the full
committee met to review the
decisions.
The committee set Aug. 15 as
the deadline for applications,
nominations and names received
for consideration. In the sub­committee
meetings held last
Wednesday, the names were
divided into three categories-yes,
no and undecided.
"Fifty names are still too many
to work with," Lowder said,
"We're still in the process of
going through to narrow it
down."
Lowder said the committee will
probably be meeting on a weekly
basis from now on and is pleased
with the progress that has been
made.
"I believe that we are right on
schedule,and I am pleased with
where we are," Lowder said.
The committee has not set a
time limit for the selection of a
new president.
"We are under no pressure," he
said. "We've been working along
in an orderly fashion, not rush­ing
the process and not
delaying."
ELSIE GOES NEW WAVE-The ears of this
seemingly fashion conscious calf are tagged
for identification in a study for control of
internal parasites done by Or. Philip Klesius,
Director of P a r a s i t e Research for the
Regional Parasite Research Laboratory of
the U.S.D.A. Calves, rather than full grown
cows, are used because of their sensitivity.
One type of parasite used to infect is the
Round Worm which, although it does not kill
cattle, weakens them and prevents weight
gain. Projects involve the study of the effects
nutrition has on the behavior of t h e parasite
and of t h e cow. Bailey plans to examine
minority recruiting report
By Lori Leath
News Staff
A new, far-reaching, compre­hensive
report on the recruiting
of minority faculty and students
is now being examined by Inte­rim
President Wilford S. Bailey
and will be release in about two
weeks.
Herb White, director of Univer­sity
Relations, said the report is
excellent. White said Bailey does
not want to release the informa­tion
until he determines whether
the University has the budget to
meet the needs of the report. A
cost survey and other surveys are
being made which will take about
two weeks.
White could not release any
information either, but he did say
Bailey has already authorized
the addition of one person on the
recruiting staff in the office of
admissions. Currently there are
three members on this staff, and
with the addition of a fourth per­son,
he feels that the opportuni­ties
available at Auburn will
reach more high school students
and others.
There is also another secretar-ial"
position open which will ena­ble
expanded programs for mail
outs, pamphlets and other infor­mation
about Auburn. More
printed materials will encourage
recruiting and will answer many
questions.
White said the report will
"have far-reaching effects as far
as Auburn University is con­cerned."
He said Bailey is placing
more emphasis on the enrollment
of National Merit finalists.
This new report is the refined,
up-dated version of the confiden­tial,
preliminary report submit­ted
to University officials last
April by the Southern Associa­tion
of Colleges and Schools
(SACS). It said Auburn was lack­ing
in minority students and
faculty in many schools at the
University.
The SACS team is a nine-member
team which is the
accrediting agency for this
region. Every ten years, Auburn
University takes stock of itself,
examining its mission, its pro­grams
and its resources to deter­mine
how it can be improved, i
The findings are reported to the
SACS. SACS in turn sends its
team to evaluate the University
and offer its own recommenda­tions.
The visiting committee's
major functions are:
•To evaluate the institution in
relation to the 11 standards set
out by the SACS: purpose, organ­ization
and administration, edu­cational
program, financial
resources, faculty, library, stu­dent
development servics, physi­cal
plant, special activities,
graduate program, and research.
*To ascertain how the institu­tion
has planned for the future as
a result of the self-study.
Before this final part, the
Enrollment Committee of SACS
re-reviewed the preliminary
report and made changes in order
of priority. Specific areas were
listed in order as to how they
would impend on the budget and
other areas.
Months of work and countless
hours of concentration have gone
into this report, but White said it
should help make Auburn a bet­ter
school, for faculty and
students.
Committee member Mark
Stevenson said he feels that the
committee is now working in just
the full committee. Stevenson
said he feels that this will create a
more consistent evaluation of the
candidates.
Nationwide advertising began
in May for a permanenfcpresident
and was published in The Chron­icle
of Higher Education, The
New York Times, The Washing­ton
Post, The Los Angeles Times,
The Chicago Tribune, The Wall
Street Journal and four other
major state newspapers.
Dr. Wilford S. Bailey, long-time
professor and administrator has
served as Interim President. Bai­ley,
62, said he would not consider
the job permanently.
The office of University Presi­dent
became vacant on Feb. 26
after the embattled resignation of
Hanly Funderburk. The Presi­dential
Search Committee began
meeting on March 31.
Specific qualifications for the
position of president have not
been released and criteria for the
job was dealt with in general
terms for advertising purposes.
The committee set up by Gov.
George Wallace consists of three
alumni, three students and three
faculty members from the main
campus as well as a student, a
faculty member and an alumnus
from Auburn University in
Montgomery.
Student representatives are
Russell Kendrick, Mark Steven­son
and Tim Cantey.

SGA plans to research
teacher evaluations
By Steve Humphries
News Staff
If the results of a student poll to
be held Monday are positive,
members of the SGA will go
ahead with a plan to require pub­lished
evaluations of teachers by
students, said Eddie Powell,
secretary of academic affairs for
the SGA.
The poll will probably be held
on the Haley Center concourse.
Barring complications, a
conr.&ittee consisting of-Steve
Cates, director of student-faculty
relations for the SGA, Karen
Bynam, an academic affairs
representative and Powell will
meet with representatives of the
Faculty Senate sometime next
week to further discuss the
matter.
"We will discuss our side and
their side and see what objections
if any they would have," said
Powell.
If there are no objections, the
plan must then be passed by both
the Faculty and student senates.
According to Cates, all
teachers except graduate teach­ing
assistants would be evalu­ated.
Powell said that the details of
the system have not yet been
worked out, but that the results of
the evaluations would probably
be published as some type of
numerical average.
He added that "the purpose (of
the evaluations) will not be to
show students who is easy and
who is hard," but to find out
which instructors "best suit their
needs" and help them to "get the
best education they can." The
questions would be centered
around the availability, open­ness,
congeniality and general
willingness of the instructor to
help the students, Powell said.
Powell noted that the evalua­tions
could also aid professors
because it would help them to
understand what the students'
needs are. "What we want to do is
whatever will best improve the
level of instruction at Auburn,"
he said.
Cates said that, although he
would like to have the evalua­tions
fall quarter, a more realistic
goal would be to have them win­ter
quarter. The evaluations
would be available to students in
time to register for spring
quarter.
Woman with a hadm
Female cop just as tough
By Katheryn Barlow
A s s i s t a n t E n t e r t a i n m e nt
Editor
At 7 a.m. when most people are
deciding what to wear to work,
Betty Futral is on the job making
decisions which could save or
take a person's life, including her
own.
Futral is one of Auburn's two
female police officers. Since she
become certified last July,
Futral's physical and emotional
strength have been tested. If a
female officer causes awkward­ness
at the Auburn Police
Department, it is well hidden.
Futral is treated like "one of the
boys" and is gently teased about
her femininity.
Her dark brown eyes dance
while she describes her work, "I
had to get through the academy
just the same as anybody else.
They didn't make it any easier for
me. I got through by sheer deter­mination.
Eight men took the written
exams with Futral. She was the
only one who passed. After these
exams, a person can work with a
police department up to nine
months. Upon completion, one
must attend the academy in
Montgomery for seven weeks.
This was F u t r a l ' s biggest
obstacle.
Sheer determination was the
characteristic which saw Futral
through the physical agility test
of the academy. To receive a cer­tificate,
prospective officers must
run 2.3 miles, drag a 175 pound
weight, scale an 8 ft. wall, push a
patrol car 15 feet and hang from a
bar for one minute.
"I am 38 years old and I was
really out of shape when I went
through the academy." Prior to
her career as an officer, Futral
was a bookkeeper for the A and P
Grocery store. "When I took this
job, I gave up $3,000 a year in
salary, and a brand new car. I'm
not doing this for the money. I am
doing it because I love working
with people. They seemed fasci­nated
by a lady cop. I get a lot of
Job tests her physical, emotional strength
stares when I am on the street,
but I don't mind," says Futral.
Though she wears a man's uni­form
and a gunbelt, the smadge
of freckles across her nose, her
highlighted eyes, and her small
form undeniably retain her femi­ninity.
Perhaps if she has
changed at all, it is in that* she
has gained confi dence and emo­tional
detachment.
"The second day I was on the
job, I had to assist the paramed­ics
with a heart attack victim. I
was trying to help calm the wife
when the paramedics called me
into the room to help. While I was
pumping his heart, I just kept
staring straight ahead. Before
that time I had never experienced
anything like it. It took a while to
get myself together. I never
showed how upset I was, but
when the whole thing was over, I
went and sat in the car for a few
minutes until I could pull myself
together. It's a horrible thing to
watch someone die and not be

Review
South and Central America
continued to experience unrest
this past week, and as Reagan
shifted his stand on his arms
proposal the Soviet Union
accused the United States of
stirring up "war hysteria."
Across the state seven rejected
Democratic legislators will
choose to run , and Tallassee's
airport is being replaced by a
$20 million aircraft plant.
INTERNATIONAL
In Argentina a national
strike caused a halt in business,
industry and public transporta­tion
Tuesday. The country's two
Peronist-dominated labor fed­erations
called a 24-hour stop­page
because of low wages and
high inflation. The action shook
the country's political stability
four weeks before elections to
reinstate civilian rule.
And in Central America the
Reagan administration plans to
continue expansion of the mil­itary
forces located there. Amer­ican
and Honduran troops will
conduct joint military exercises
in March and more are being
planned for next year, it was
announced Monday.
In New York this week the
chief Soviet delegate to the
United States and its western
allies of "whipping up war hys­teria."
The Soviet spokesman
said the United States hopes to
accomplish "military superior­ity
from which they can domi­neer
and issue orders."
NATIONAL
Walter F. Mondale won his
second major endorsement for
the 1984 Democratic Presiden­tial
nomination Saturday. The
AFL-CIO's general board gave
90.7 percent of its votes to sup­port
Mondale on Friday. The
directors of the National Educa­tion
Association gave its back­ing
to his campaign.

And in Washington President
Reagan's new arms talks pro­posal
is seen as an action of com­promise
with the Soviet Union.
Reagan agreed to redesign the
"build-down idea," which calls
for the destruction of old war­heads
as new ones are built.
Monday night the Supreme
Court denied 5-4 a stay of execu­tion
for a condemned Texas
killer, signifying a departure
from the way the Court has
handled similar appeals. The
first appeal by James D. Autry
was refused, an action not pre­viously
taken by the Court.
And schools across the nation
lack funds to absorb the tre­mendous
cost of removing
asbestos from local buildings. It
was reported Monday the remo­val
of the material from 14,000
public and private schools will
cost about $1.4 billion.
STATE
In Tallassee the Municipal
Airport will be bought by the
world's largest producer of
helicopters. A plant that will
employ 250 workers, paying $3
million annually in wages,will
be built. Sikorsky Aircraft Corp.
of Stratford, Conn., will begin
the construction of a 90,000
square-foot plant early in 1984.
Seven of the 12 Democrats
rejected as their party's candi­dates
for the November elec­tions
will run as Independents.
And Monday the Alabama
Bar Association's Task Force to
Evaluate the Proposed Consti­tution
recommended Alabama
voters reject the revised state
constitution. In a vote of 14-10
the lawyers demonstrated their
dissatisfaction with the docu­ment
the Legislature adopted to

On Tuesday the Interfraternity
Council (I.F.C.) Court issued its
decision to the Sigma Pi and Pi
Kappa Alpha fraternities con­cerning
vandalism reports-as a
result of a hearing that was held
last Thursday.
The Sigma Pi fraternity peti­tioned
the I.F.C. Court to hear
charges against the Pi Kappa
Alpha (Pike) fraternity after an
incident occurred between the
two on September 26, said Matt
Moore, chairman of the I.F.C
Court.
As part of the court's decision,
an initial meeting should be held
with the I.F.C. President, major
officers and fraternity advisers
of both fraternities within a
week, Moore said. The purpose of
this meeting is "to begin discus­sion
of ways to prevent similar
events from happening in the
future."
If these steps are not followed
or if there are future violations of
I.F.C. and University policies by
either fraternity, Moore said this
would be "grounds for social pro­bation
or other sanctions autho­rized
by the Court." Each group
will also be responsible for the
damages "incurred as a result of
its actions," Moore said.
The incident started after the
power went out city wide at
approximately 9:30 that night,
said Moore.
During the hearing both sides
were able to give their view as to
what happened. "They both
blamed each other," said Moore.
Peter Burnett, president of
Sigma Pi, said he heard a com­motion
outside the house. Some
of the brothers told him the Pikes
were attacking the house with
rocks, etc.
The spokesman for the Pikes
said "they were having a party
and watching Monday night
football when the lights went out
and they assembled on the front
lawn. The Sigma Pi's started
shooting bottle rockets at the
Theta Xi house and then at the
Pike house. After this rocks and
golf balls were thrown back and
forth," Moore said.
"This confrontation went on for
two hours," Moore said.
Burnett called the Auburn city
police as it was beginning but
they referred the call to the Uni­versity
police because the Sigma
Pi house is on campus land'. I
The University police never
responded to the call Moore said.
Gary Wolf, president of Pi
Kappa Alpha fraternity called
the city police after an hour and a
half. They responded to the call
because the Pike house is not on
campus land, Moore said.
After both sides had given their
report at the hearing,"neither
group denied any of it," Moore
said.
According to Steve Slade, ex-president
and member of the Pike
fraternity, the provocation was
by both parties. "Our general
concern is for fairness. We realize
it takes two parties to fight. We

don't want to say they asked for
it, but we didn't either. Both par­ties
are at fault."
Burnett said the Sigma Pi's
didn't agree with the Pikes'
account. "Any actions we took
were provoked in self defense,."
Taking them to I.F.C. court was
also a result of things that had
been happening for a long time,
said Burnett.
Moore also said the incident on
Sept. 26 was just one of several
incidents that have occurred
between the two fraternities in
the past several years. The Court
didn't meet to decide who had
started the incidents but to "pre­vent
any future occurrence."
Within three weeks of the first
meeting the officers of both fra­ternities
should have other meet­ings
to more "clearly decide how
to improve relationships," Moore
said.
A report prepared by the two
presidents "describing the means
of insuring such a positive rela­tionship"
should be given to the
Court on or before Oct. 31, 1983,
Moore said.
After the decision was issued,
Moore said "both presidents were
very positive about the outcome."
The I.F.C. Court consists of
Moore, Jimmy Stubbs, Joe
Brown, Ken Sawyer and Dr.
Drew Ragan.
Moore said he feels the court
did a good job. "The outcome can
be positive if both parties do what
is required."

Crackdown curbs illegal cable hookups
By Steve Kantor
News Staff
Illegal cable hookups are being
watched more closely this year,
according to Ross E. Summers,
general manager of Auburn
Telecable.
Although in the past there
have been a large number of stu­dents
receiving cable television
without paying, the number of
illegal hookups is dwindling
because of a crackdown which
began this past summer,
Summers said.
"We have done quite a bit of
work on our plant not only
around the campus, but all over
town this summer—rewiring
apartment houses, rewiring fra­ternities,
working on our under­ground
cable system, and the
trailer parks. We've had a full-time
auditor on this summer
checking on illegal customers
and what he did was basically go
around and walk almost every
street in the city and then look at
every pole that we have cable
running into. Then he would go
back to the office and check
against our records to see who
was paying and who wasn't and
those people who weren't paying
we simply cut off." He added that
this will be an ongoing process.
"What we want to stress is that
we know that this has been going
on for a long time—it's been
obvious," Summers said. "This
summer we took the action that
has been needed for a long time.
We don't want our paying custo­mers
to subsidize the illegal
hookups."
"We know that we still have got
some out there, but we also want
those people to know that we're
looking for them, and if we do
catch them, we're going to give
them one chance to get hooked on
as a paying customer. If they
don't we're going to disconnect
them. If we go back later and find
out they've reconnected them­selves
then we're going to start
filing suit."
Basic cable is included free at
most apartments.
Eagle's West apartment com­plex
has not accepted cable ser-vice
from Telecable simply
because they have not granted
permission, which has upset
some tenants residing at Eagle's
West who came by the Telecable
Student Store to get Showtime
and Music Television hooked up,
only to find out that they could
not. It is the only apartment
complex that does not allow cable
from Telecable.
"It's a common problem for
students to break into our secur­ity
boxes," Summers said. "We
have a new security box that is
more difficult to break into," at
apartment complexes where the
box is located outside on the cable
lines which are easily accessible.
Telecable serves over 2000
units off-campus. The only on-campus
dormitory served by Tel­ecable
is Magnolia Dorm. The
campus has its own ETV (educa­tional
television) cable system
and a master antenna system
controlled strictly by the Univer­sity,
which serves most of the
dorms on campus.
Summer said Telecable has lost
tens of thousands of dollars over
the last few years because of ille­gal
hookups. When a person
tampers with the cable lines, he is
breaking a state law. Fines in
excess of $100 are not uncommon
once the person is caught,
Summers said. "There's abso­lutely
no difference between
someone who shoplifts from
Gayfer's or J.C. Penny's than it is
stealing HBO from Telecable,"
said Summers. "The people who
insist on continuing to pirate our
services when we have tried to get
them on as a paying customer—
those are the people that we're
going to take legal action
against."

By Kay Howie
News Staff
After 34 years of teaching and
researching ornamental horti­culture,
an Auburn University
professor has been honored by
colleagues and friends in a way
that reflects his long career.
The Henry P. Orr Vinery bears
the name of the man it honors.
The vinery, located in the Donald
E. Davis Arboretum, will display
native vines and provide an
attractive seclusion for visitors.

Wilford Bailey and Sen. Ted Lit­tle
and other dignitaries, dedi­cated
the vinery to Dr. Orr.
More than $10,000 was donated
by co-workers, former students
and friends of Dr. Orr to allow the
vinery to become a lasting mon­ument
to his many years of work.
Dr. Orr is best known for his tea­ching.
In fact, he says he has
taught "most anything" from
flower arranging to landscape
design.
Dr. Orr is also responsible for
valuable research in such diverse
fields as chrysanthemum pro­duction
and use of ornamentals
on highway right of ways to con­trol
erosion.
His passion for horticulture
and design is reflected in and
around the house that has been
his home for all of his 62 years.
Much of the actual upkeep is
performed by horticulture stu­dents,
as Dr. Orr's health pre­vents
him from caring for the
grounds himself. He suffered a
heart attack a year ago that has
curtailed many of his activities.
Dr. Orr said he "expected" to
have the vinery named after him,
since he refused to have a scho­larship
named after him. Orr
says that he has worked with
students receiving scholarships
for a number of years, and felt
that the procedures involved
were more trouble than they were
worth.

A. A. A. helps involve black students
in all aspects of University life
By David Benson
Features Staff
Black students are not
involved enough in the activities
on the Auburn campus, says
faculty adviser to the Afro Ameri­can
Association, Curtis Cren­shaw.
College life is a valuable expe­rience
and Crenshaw believes
that black Auburn students
should seek every opportunity to
enhance that experience. "The
A.A.A. creates an atmosphere of
comfort for black students,"
Crenshaw says, and makes cam­pus
involvement for them easier.
. "This is a good organization,"
says A.A.A. president Glenda
Ware. "It can act as a mediator
between blacks and administra­tion."
Ware doesn't believe that black
students have more or different
problems than whites, yet the
A.A.A. can help in problems that
may arise.
The association is sponsoring a
guest speaker Oct. 10. George

Bradbury, a black alumnus, will
address the problems facing
minority students. The A.A.A.
does not have a room allotted to
them by the University, therefore
the meeting place will be
announced at a later date.
Any Auburn student may become
a member of the organization.
"Our club does not discriminate,"
said Crenshaw.
The group is involved with
many different projects on cam­pus
including the blood drive,
minority relations, a canned food
drive for sickle-cell anemia, a
planned march in the Wreck Tech
parade, and the Minority Intro­duction
to Engineering.
A member of the A.A.A., James
Carpenter, says the organization
gives a homelike atmosphere to
Auburn. Blacks often share the
same problems and the A.A.A.
can offer solutions to those
problems.
Carpenter has been a member
of the association for four years,
and says the club has given him a
strong home base. It helps to
"socialize and educate incoming
students," he adds.
Auburn is now faced with' a
discrimination lawsuit. With a
student body of almost 18,000
students, only about 400 of them
are black. Crenshaw says that
Auburn "needs to do some posi­tive
things to alleviate the prob­lem."
His suggestions include
more minority scholarships and
minority counselors.
Most of the scholarships going
to minorities are athletic, Cren­shaw
says. He would like to see
more academic scholarships
going to top students from high
schools as an incentive to minor­ity
students.
The A.A.A. president echos the
need for more black students at
Auburn. The University should
step up its recruitment of minori­ties,
she says.
At this time the A.A.A. is not
considered an activity by Auburn
University. Crenshaw and Ware
have started the necessary pro­ceedings
with the SGA but it will
be two years before its activity
status will become a reality.
"Ours is a growing organiza­tion,"
Crenshaw says. It's still in
the developing stage. He would
like to see the membership
increase, with both black and
white students.

Asbestos info needed
For more than 20 years Auburn
University has been in the midst of
expanding and constructing several
buildings on campus.
Haley Center, the pharmacy
building, Memorial Coliseum and
the Hill dorms have all been erected
since the 1960s, and now it seems the
University is finding out that more
than just concrete and brick went
into those buildings.
A report issued Sept. 14 by Har­mon
Engineering and Testing listed
all dormitories on campus and
many of the housing units in Caro­line
Draughon Village as contain­ing
the potentially dangerous sub­stance
asbestos.
The University has been operat­ing
these 20 years unaware of the
dangerous material contained in the
insulation products until an Auburn
safety officer found the substance in
a Haley Center ceiling last Spring.
Since the initial location of the
asbestos, the University has begun
a campaign to determine the
amount of the substance found in
campus buildings. Harmon Engi­neering
and Testing has sampled
suspect material to determine asbes­tos
counts and has made visual
inspections of all buildings.
Since determining that Univer­sity
Housing contains asbestos,
students currently living in on-campus
dormitories have received
letters informing them that they
may be exposed to the substance.
But what these letters failed to
inform students was how dangerous
asbestos is.
Asbestos has been linked to lung
' cancer in workers in industrial set­tings
and has also been found to
cause a disease called asbestosis.
The substance is dangerous only
when inhaled, prompting Housing
to ask students to refrain from dis­turbing
any ceiling material. The
effects of asbestos are delayed until
10 to 15 years after exposure to the
potentially dangersous fibers. But
students might never know it if they
relied only on the information given
to them through U n i v e r s i ty
Housing.
Officials said that no decision has
yet been made as to a possible clean­up
campaign. Since the substance
has been linked to lung cancer, a
massive campaign has been under­way
to remove the asbestos from
state primary and secondary
schools. Why should Auburn not do
the same? Does the University plan
to keep mailing letters, year after
year, to University Housing resi­dents
alerting them they are being
exposed to the substance? When will
it answer the questions that have
gone unanswered concerning the
actual risks of asbestos exposure?
As the investigation enters its
third phase, sampling the air in
housing units, perhaps those over­seeing
the operations will see fit to
inform Auburn University students
as to the actual extent of asbestos
use on campus and the hazards we
as students and faculty are being
exposed to.
We commend Auburn University
on the efforts made so far, but let's
not understate the problem.
We still have a long way to go.
Rush, taxis good ideas
It's been quite a while since an
o r g a n i z a t i o n on campus has
thought to correct a problem before
something tragic happened to war­rant
the change.
However, the IFC and SGA have
both made changes indicating a
good deal of foresight; the IFC voted
to turn Auburn's fraternity rush dry,
and the SGA voted to require taxi
cabs on the premises of all
fundraisers.
Dry rush has been a long time
coming. For years everyone talked
about it, but did nothing. Finally,
with the threat of an escalation in
the legal drinking age, the IFC voted
to enforce it.
It is commendable that even after
the state legislature failed to raise
the drinking age, the IFC stood by
its decision.
There has been much said about
this past fall rush, good and bad.
Some feel that smaller fraternities
suffered greatly because of the no-liquor
policy. Others feel as if
rushees were led to believe potential
fraternities were something they
were not. Most, however, feel that
dry rush was successful, offering
fraternities an opportunity to really
get down to rushing.
The SGA also made a good move
when they changed the code of laws
requiring every fraternity sponsor­ing
a party to have a taxi on the
premises to transport guests to and
from locations. The fraternity will
incur a base fee from the company
and the taxi will be available all
night.
It is said that this was a move in
response to stricter DUI laws. What­ever
the reason, it was the right
decision.
These taxis will make it safer not
only for those who usually drink and
drive, but also for those all-too-innocent
bystanders who are the
victims of drunk drivers.
Perhaps other non-greek organi­zations
will take it upon themselves
to follow the SGA's lead and rent
taxis out for their parties, also.
Is the year finally here?
It's the time of year when students
make a mad scramble to the Coli­seum
to get ID's made. It's not
because they want to see their pic­ture
or to avoid some vague law that
says a student can be arrested if he's
caught without his card, but to get
football tickets.
Those tickets are a hot commodity
this year, especially with Auburn
being ranking among the nation's
10 best teams and the consensus
choice to win its first league title
since 1957, that magical year when
Auburn captured the national title.
Not only are the students fighting
to get tickets, but so are the alumni.
This year Auburn sold a record
amount of season tickets. The
demand was so great that the ticket
office was forced to refund more
than $400,000 in ticket money. Now,
past season ticket holders are livid
because they were refused. The out­cry
has prompted a special commit­tee
to review priorities.
No matter, all is well with football
at Auburn, that is if you disregard
the first half play against Texas. A
swarming defense and an explosive
offense are the traits of this Tiger
team.
Against Tennessee, a long-time
nemesis, Auburn gave the Vols a
record beating. Not since 1900, when
Auburn won 23-0, had the Tigers
won so convincingly. The 37-14 win
was also only the second time
Auburn had won at Knoxville in 12
years. Things are on the rise.
But it will be later in the year
against Florida, Georgia and Ala­bama
when their destiny is deter­mined.
For now, though, we can
revel in the Tennessee & Florida
State conquests and hope it's a hint
of things to come.

Auburn over Ohio any day
Alec
Harvey
"I'm, Alec Harvey, the new intern
from Auburn University."
"Oh yeah. Auburn. That's in Georgia,
right?"
"No. It's in Alabama."
"Same thing."
So went the introductory conversation
as I ventured for the first time into the
"real world" of journalism, as a summer
intern in Columbus, Ohio.
To all you midwesterners, I went there
with an open mind, I promise. But it
didn't take long to shut my mind tight.
I guess my real problem is I've been
spoiled by Auburn, but it really is true:
there is no place on earth friendlier than
the south.
The main problem with Columbus is
Ohio State University. Although Ohio
State is a good school with a great foot­ball
team, it's too big. ("No it's not," one.
Ohioan argued with me, "we only have
22,000 students in the summer).
So big, in fact, that the school has its
own bus system, an offshoot of the city
transit authority. Students take buses
from class to class, scheduling them at
least an hour apart so they won't be late.
They couldn't understand when I told
them one could walk from one end of
Auburn's campus to the other within fif­teen
minutes!
If 22,000 students were not enough,
three quarters of the students there for
the summer couldn't speak English.
Now, I have nothing against foreigners
at all, but I wish that they'd teach lan­guages
in college that will do us some
good, like Pakistani, Kuwaiti and
maybe a little Chinese. The 9 years of
French I've taken didn't get me
anywhere.
Another shock was to find I couldn't
leave my car anywhere near the street
for fear of having it stolen in broad day­light.
I'm not saying that the area
around Ohio State's campus isn't safe,
but when I was looking for an apartment
I was told, two or three times, "just get
on 16th or 17th Avenue, and you'll be
fine." Oh, boy, a whole two streets that
you dare walk on in the middle of the
night.
Walking is pretty much of a chore in
Columbus. The city police just love to
cite people for jaywalking (I was caught
twice). I still don't understand why they
are so intent on arresting jaywalkers
when there are only two streets in town
that people feel safe walking along!
And the downtown streets are some­thing
else. Most big cities have one-way
streets in the heart of the business dis- '
trict, but Columbus has added a new
twist: You cannot turn (either way) off of j
the city's two main streets.
Boy, that Midwestern ingenuity, it's
comparable to having to drive on Col­lege
Street from 280 to the KA house
without being able to turn. You could see
the building you were trying to get to
and it would take half an hour just to
find the right turn to get there.
It wasn't only the traffic and the
streets that were annoying, the people
were not the greatest either. Even on
campus, I was hardpressed to find a
bypasser who would venture to say
"hello" or even acknowledge the pres­ence
of another person walking beside
them. It makes you appreciate the end­less
smiles in Auburn even more.
The people I worked with were plea­sant,
but annoying; We couldn't walk
into a restaurant without one of my co­workers
explaining to the waitress that I
was Rhett Butler and wanted nothing
less than fried chicken and grits.
One thing did happen my last day on
the job that restored a little of my faith in
the people of the midwest.
The same copy editor that had greeted
me with "Auburn's in Georgia" was
interviewing a girl for a position on the
copy desk. The applicant said she had
graduated from Emory University.
"Where is that?," asked the
interviewer.
"In Atlanta," the girl said in a south­ern
belle voice that made it clear to me
why I was the brunt of so many Gone
With the Wind jokes.
"Oh," said the copyeditor, giving me a
wink, "That's down near Auburn, isn't
it?"
War Eagle!

Letter from housing doesn't come
I checked my mailbox again today. It
was still empty.
Although I should be accustomed to
the empty slot by now, I still feel a slight
disappointment. My parents are the
only ones who write me, and they often
forgo sending me money in hopes of my
returning the correspondence.
But the letter I've been waiting for is
not from my parents, from a friend or
even from a business where I've bounced
a check.
This letter is from Auburn University,
and it concerns a matter that not enough
is being said about.
I spent two years in University Hous-j
ing. The first was in wonderful, recently
renovated Bullard, the epitome of
Auburn's ancient dorms. The second
was in Noble Hall, a step or two up on the j
Housing ladder. Now Noble has been
named in a listing of campus housing
known to contain asbestos.
Residents of University Housing have
been sent letters containing the list of i
dorms and housing plagued with asbes­tos
and where the asbestos is located.
They have been advised to avoid dis­turbing
the areas where the asbestos is
found.
All this is fine and dandy. Residents
should be alerted that they are living in
a building that is potentially hazardous
to their future health. I say future
because the effects of asbestos are not
apparent until 10-15 years after brea­thing
in the fibers.
But what about those who have been
living in housing and have moved out?
Isn't it fair to let those who lived there
several years ago know that they, too,
run the risk of developing lung cancer
and asbestosis? Although nothing can
be done now, has the University checked
to see if the people who lived in housing
years ago suffer from the disease?
I think it would only be a fair and con­scientious
policy that the University
work harder to alert those who have
lived in the areas containing asbestos.
Individual letters would be quite a task,
and one which I am sure no one would
advocate, but at the least a campaign
should begin to make those former resi­dents
aware.
As far as other campus buidings go,
we know Haley Center ceilings contain
the deadly fiber. In May, Paul Parks,
vice president for research for Auburn,
said the list of .other buildings on cam­pus
which contain asbestos would be
released later. It is now September, and I
haven't seen a list. Perhaps I have
missed it, but I doubt it.
The investigation into the asbestos
situation is now moving into a cam­paign
to analyze air samples. After tak­ing
these samples, the University will
decide what action, if any, it wants to
take on cleaning up the substance.
Is there a question of "if the asbestos
will be removed? Does the University
plan to leave the cancer-causing fibers
in ceilings and around pipes for students
and faculty to breathe? Surely not.
The investigation thus far has left
these, and several other, questions
unanswered. Perhaps after the air sam­ple
tests are completed, the University
will further inform those who are
affected by this situation—almost every
Auburn student.
Meanwhile, I'll keep watching my
mailbox. Although there is no joy in
finding out that you've been exposed to
asbestos fibers for a year (Bullard was
probably built before asbestos was dis­covered),
at least there is some consola­tion
in knowing the University cares
enough to let you know about it.
And, perhaps, that it cares enough to.
clean it up for future Auburn students.
Bailey comments on accreditation
Dr. Wilford Bailey
Guest editorial
continued from last week.
It is good for an individual or an
organization to engage, at appropriate
intervals, in objective self examination.
Once every ten years the regional
accrediting agency, the Southern Asso­ciation
of Colleges and Schools (SACS),
requires that each accredited college or
university in the region conduct a
detailed and comprehensive self-study.
In this process, we must define our func­tions
and goals, and evaluate the
manner in which we are achieving them.
Subsequently, a visitation team of dis­tinguished
educators conducts an on-site
review and issues a final report
which will aid SACS in determining if
accreditation is to be renewed.
We have recently received the formal
report of that visitation team, to which
we are preparing a response. Both the
report and the response will be made
public when our response is submitted to
SACS. However, some of the prelimi­nary
recommendations have already
been discussed within the University. Of
particular interest are the ones dealing
with recruitment of students. The visita­tion
committee has recommended that
Auburn recruit a larger number of
exceptionally well-qualified students.
Also, they indicated that to make our
student body more reflective of Alaba­ma's
total population, and thus to serve
more effectively the state's citizens, we
should increase opportunities.
These long have been goals of Auburn
University, but, as in so many things, it
often comes down to the availability of
money-money for scholarships, recruit­ers,
student services and special educa­tional
programs. Nevertheless, we
already are at work to demonstrate a
strong, positive response in these areas.
As we expand our recruiting program,
we will take advantage of every oppor­tunity
to tell high school and junior col­lege
students not only about Auburn's
strong faculty and the institution's uni­que
academic programs but also about
the personalized quality of student and
academic life. Here we are vitally inter­ested
in helping each individual student
develop intellectually, socially, emo­tionally
and spiritually. As we grow
larger and more complex, it is crucial
that we retain this sense of a personal­ized
Auburn experience which is the
foundation of the uncommon loyalty felt
by untold thousands of our alumni.
Other SACS recommendations
included development of Board of Trus­tees
bylaws and an institutional state­ment
of purpose. The Board is currently
moving toward completion of those
tasks. These, and all other products of
our reaccreditation effort, should prove
to be of great value to our new president.
As we reason together about problems
and issues during the coming year, it is
my sincere desire to keep all constituen­cies
of the institution and the general
public informed about developments at
Auburn, dealing honestly and as openly
as possible with everyone. I believe that
by doing this, and by soliciting the
advice and support of students, faculty,
staff, alumni, friends and the general
public, we can forge a partnership which
will make it possible for us to accomplish
the most ambitious goals.
We must not underestimate the com­plexity
and magnitude of the problems
which are before us. However, as we
begin this new academic year, I am
optimistic about Auburn's future. This is
due in large part to the huge reservoir of
goodwill among this institution's "fam­ily"
and friends. In my travels around
the country, I continue to be impressed
by the positive response elicited by the:
mention of Auburn University.
I close now with a word of welcome to
our new studei^s and to those of you
returning for another academic year.
With your help, and that of our dedicated
faculty and staff, this can be the most
progressive and productive in the 127-
year history of Auburn University. Let
us remember that the same situations
which call for major decisions also offer
opportunities for outstanding achieve­ments.

Don't hurry me
Well, this is it, the quarter I've been
eagerly anticipating for more than four
years. Graduation is only around the
corner now, and I find that I am more
impatient to graduate than ever before.
I had envisioned that ones last quarter
at school should be spent reminiscing
and being sentimental. Maybe I'm
speaking too soon, nevertheless my
impatience bothers me.
But it is not just impatience in this
matter that concerns me. To think of the
numerous circumstances when my
impatience on a smaller scale has stolen
the simple joys of "normal" days is
sobering.
Most of us have experienced those
days when everything is going quite
nicely until something or someone
beyond our control makes a change in
how we had planned to spend the rest of
the day. We constantly glance at our
watches to see how much time is lapsing
while our plans fade into bitter disap­pointment.
Our mood of contentment
can be changed into unnerving impa­tience
in just a flash.
And it's no wonder. With constant
attention being given to increasing con­venience
for impatient Americans, we're
seldom accustomed to waiting. In a
hurry? Go through the drive-through
window for lunch. Detour the route with
the traffic lights and take the one with
the overpasses. Get one of those coffee
makers that automatically makes coffee
at the particular time you set it for. The
list goes on.
I am appreciative of these convenien­ces,
but I worry about the attitude that
convenience helps cultivate when I have
to wait on something. So many times I
•have regretted the frustration I have
directed toward others in a fit of impa­tience
when they got in my way. The car
that nonchalantly pulls out in front of
me is a prime example, as though I have
never done the same.
I have concluded that most of the time
I'm not really in a hurry, I just think I
am. But as long as circumstances have
me convinced that there's never enough
time to do what I need to do, there will be
no peace in a day and nothing will be
accomplished.
Learning the art of taking one day at a
time is indeed a battle, but what is a day
worth that is spent worrying about
tomorrow?
I would like to slow down and enjoy
each day of my last quarter because I
know that once graduation's passed I'll
look back and ask, 'Where'd the time
go?'
Martin Luther King Jr.
doesn't deserve holiday
Is Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., worthy
of the recognition of having a national
holiday named in his honor? A holiday
which would join New Year's Day,
Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day, Colum­bus
Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving
and Christmas as the official holidays of
the United States?
Was King's life so exceptional that he
should receive the same recognition as
George Washington, the only American
who has a national holiday named in his
honor? (Columbus was an Italian, born
in Genoa.)
Granted, King was the champion of
civil rights in America, and his success­ful
yet tragic life exemplifies the highest
elements of humanity. King rightly
should be associated with the teachings
of Jesus Christ, Thoreau and Ghandi;
yet so high an individual recognition,
such as the naming of a national holi­day,
should not be given lightly.
Does King fit the criteria that has been
used in the past when creating national
holidays? So many unrecognized indi­viduals
have given their lives in support
and belief of what our country stands
for, and many will give their lives in the
future; so what makes King different?
He was successful at rectifying the
great injustice in our country's legal sys­tem,
and he should be highly acclaimed
and honored; but there are problems
that would arise from the formation of
another national holiday if one were to
be created in his memory.
A federal court ordered in 1977 to seal
up in the National Archives for half a
century, the results of an FBI investiga­tion
of King. The results of the investi­gation
will not be made public until the
year 2027.
King's methods during the Civil
Rights Movement have been criticized
as Marxist, and some Senators believe
King himself was a Marxist and that
Communists were involved in King's
movement at the highest levels.
Considering the results of the King
investigation could clear up many of
these accusations, and also considering
the questionable locking-up of the
results for fifty years; then perhaps
Howard Phillips, chairman of the Con­servative
Caucus, should be heeded
when he suggests the vote on the
national holiday for King be delayed
until the report is made public because
Congress might be making a mistake if
King's controversial background is
found to be true.
Another problem with the proposed
national holiday (which has already
passed the House of Representatives) is
the expense.
One estimate determined the bill
would cost the government more than $5
billion in employee wages for time not
worked. An extra expense of this propor­tion
is the last thing the federal govern­ment
needs during this period of rising
deficits and declining productivity.
King deserves recognition for his con­tribution
and great sacrifice to civil
rights, yet until some questions about
his background are cleared, no action in
naming a national holiday in his honor
should be taken.
Football seating policy unfair
Editor, The Plainsman:
This letter is in regard to the confusion
at the recent FSU game. The confusion
being: is the student section open on a
first come, first serve basis or are stu­dents
required to'sit in seats designated
on their tickets? Saturday, some Uni­versity
police informed students that the
student section requires students to sit
in their designated seats, while other
security personnel said that the student
section allows students to sit wherever
they wish.
Auburn Athletic Dept. when con­tacted,
stated that their policy was that
students could sit where they wanted in
the student section, but would be
required to move if someone had a ticket
for their seat. If in fact this is true, why
would campus security personnel assist
alumni, visitors and FSU fans in secur­ing
seats in the student section, occupied
by students, and then refuse to help the
ousted student obtain his designated
seat. In some instances, telling the stu­dent
"If you want your seat, you'll have
to fight for it."
Whether or not anything is ever done
about the seating problem in the student
section, there is one fact that cannot be
overlooked. In excess of 75,000 were at
the game, stadium capacity, as stated in
the Auburn program, is approximately
72,000. Stadium capacities are created
for an obvious reason. Does this mean
that the Auburn University Athletic
Dept. is paying off paramedics, fire mar­shals
and police officers to overlook this
obvious safety hazard?
The program states that after contact­ing
medical personnel help will be there
within three minutes. How is it physi­cally
possible for help to be there in three
minutes, when the aisles are full of and
over-capacity crowd?
It is obvious that something must be
done about the seating problem in the
student section and about the overl-crowding
of the Jordan-Hare stadium.

Special treatment not needed.
Editor, The Plainsman:
I must comment on the editorial writ­ten
in the Sept. 29 edition of The Auburn
Plainsman titled The Dual System.
In the ninth paragraph, it is stated
that black students should not be admit­ted
to Auburn at the expense of lowering
the standards, because standards are
low enough already. In the manner in
which it was written, this states (in my
opinion) that black students are less
qualified to handle college work here
than other students. This is a negative
and insulting attitude.
This is the very same attitude that
Auburn projects to the black commun­ity.
Although \ few of us dare challenge
this attitude, the majority of blacks
choose to attend a college which projects
a more positive attitude towards them.
Therefore, Auburn ends up with a low
black student population.
Blacks are not asking for special
treatment. We do not need standards
lowered for us, special programs geared
toward us or Justice Department law­suits
in our behalf. All that we need is
the equal opportunity to demonstrate
our ability. We want to be treated as
equals to our peers. In my opinion, if
Auburn can project this attitude, the
numbers problem will correct itself. The
question is: can and will Auburn project
this image?

Getting old before it's time
"Uhmm, my, my, my, and you're so
young," the man said as if he were
announcing a death notice.
As he continued to brush my hair, I,
too, noticed those first wiry strands.
"It's only hair," I consoled myself
quickly. Sitting in the beauty salon, I
noticed other women with gray tresses,
and they seemed happy enough.
"Do you want to put a little color on it,
honey?" the stylist asked sympa­thetically.
Insulted, I retorted a sharp, "NO."
Unfortunately, the women on both
sides of me overheard the conversation.
Lunging over their seats, the offered
their condolences with a long list of
friends who had turned gray also.
Perhaps I would have forgotten the
whole incident had it not been for the
following series of circumstances.
It is not so much the latant overt
comments which are disturbing, but the
subtle innocent innuendos.
For example, no one asks me how old I
am anymore. Why don't women like to
tell their age? The only thing I can figure
is that they don't want to reveal any
trace of the wisdon they have picked up
along the years. After all, just a trace of
intelligence intimidates men. It is infu­riating
when parents tell their children
not to ask my age. "That is not nice
dear," one mother told her son. "Ladies
don't like to tell their age." I don't mind
telling mine, so what does that do to my
moral standing?
I have read in several places that
women are slower in math than men. I
do not believe it. The tests are obviously
designed by men, and therefore not
geared toward a woman's frame of
mind. This I know because women can
compute and calculate another woman's
age in a split second with nothing but a
graduation date for a base. Funny, isn't
it? The same woman can't keep a check­ing
account.
Along the same lines, people no longer
consider it polite when I address them
with ma'am or sir. While working during
break, I called a co-worker "sir." Slightly
stunned, he came back with, "and I
though we could be friends."
I empathize with him now. It takes a
great deal of inner strength to refrain
from strangling indignant freshmen
who call me ma'am. Even worse are
those who insist on calling me "Miss
Barlow." Not only do they hint at my
increase of years, but they point out the
fact that I am still single.
Which is another pet peeve I would
like to publicize. Just because I have
gray hair does not mean an angel from
heaven has descended to announce
when, or if, Prince Charming is coming
along. If one more person asks me why I
am not married, or when I am getting
married, I am going to slap them silly. I
don't know when I am getting married. I
don't know how men can pass up such a
jewel, and if the right one is just around
the corner, he's hiding.
My most recent encounter with get­ting
old occured at the make-up counter
last week. I stopped by to pick up some
facial cleanser and the woman sug­gested
night creme. "After all, ma'am,
you want to keep those wrinkles mois­turized.
To date, I am the only person I
know who uses wrinkle cream and Clea-rasil
at the same time.
Its a funny thing about getting old.
You notice it one day and it just keeps
getting worse, but there is nothing to do
about it. And even though we are all
growing older at the same rate, we still
take delight when someone's birthdate
is before ours. So to all of you out there
born after Dec. 7, 1960, you will get
yours.
Should Andropov be put in charge?
Editor, The Plainsman:
Upon reading Glenn Eskew's column,
Get US out of UN, I was filled with emo­tion.
The only problem with his article
was that he didn't say enough. I wish to
elaborate on what I see are the reasons
behind wanting the United States out of
the United Nation.
The UN is dominated by Third World
nations, countries which are poor, often
overpopulated, countries which have lit­tle
political and military power outside
the UN. As a result, the UN often passes
resolutions, formulates treaties and
institutes programs contrary to US
interests. Many of the countries who
vote against us are the same countries
who we go out of our way to help.
Some countries are fortunate to have
our government pay for a stable leader,
whose government keeps its citizens
well-taken care of and keeps all undesir­able
elements and dissenters out of the
people'd way. Our multinational corpo­rations
are kind enough to procure their
people's lands so they can provide the
peasants an honest job and a decent
day's wages for a week's work.
Our corporations give them a chance
to cultivate vast farms which supply the
world with prodigious amounts of nutri­tious
crops like coffee, sugar, molasses
and chocolate. Before the corporations
came in, the farmers grew pitiful
amounts of vegetables and grain—just
enough to feed one family! One of our
Western corporations—Nestle—even
created a product to market in the Third
World: infant formula, to replace moth­er's
milk.
It's not Nestle's fault that those
women couldn't read the instructions. If
those ignorant peasants could read, they
would have known that you were sup­posed
to make the formula with water
which had been boiled to kill the germs.
Even if they had been able to read, most
families who lost a child to the infant
formula couldn't afford to buy anything
to boil water in anyway. But that's not
Nestle's fault.
And it's not our fault that children
who live in underdeveloped nations
starve and sit and watch their bellies
swell and their teeth fall out and their
limbs atrophy. We're helping all we can.
And are the countries we help grateful?
They don't act like they are. By pulling
out of the UN, we could get these
ingrates out of our hair once and for all.
There may be some liberals who might
object, saying, "But what about our
Christian responsibility to the poor;
what about Christian love, which moti­vates
us to feed the hungry, shelter the
homeless, clothe the naked?" Don't wor-ry...
by pulling out of the UN, we leave
the Third World in the loving arms of a
nation which will take care of them at
least as well as we have, a nation led by
the loving and compassionate Yuri
Andropov.

Book exchange lists people
with checks waiting for them
Editor, The Plainsman;
Every quarter the Book Exchange
mails checks to students whose books
sold the previous quarter. Of these
checks, many are returned to us because
of incorrect addresses.
The people listed below have checks in
the Alpha Phi Omega Book Exchange
dated prior to July 1,1983, when checks
were mailed for Summer Quarter. They
may claim their checks between 9-12 and
1-4 Tuesdays through October 31. At
that time, all unclaimed checks will be
voided and used for service projects on

let us know their new address and we
will send the checks to them.

Key points overlooked in U.N. column
Much attention has been given
recently to the idea that the U.S. should
pull out of the United Nations. Some of
the arguments are well-founded; some,
such as those presented in a recent edi­torial
(Get U.S. out of U.N., Sept. 29) are
not so well-founded. Conservatives in
this country have long been opposed to
U.S. involvement, presumably due to a
strong tendency towards isolationism.
This view may have had some legiti­macy
in times past, but not in the 1980's.
Today's world is immensely compli­cated.
The U.S., after emerging from
WWII as the strongest nation in the
world (both militarily and economi­cally),
found itself thi «*.' into the lead­ing
role in world affairs. The U.N. was
formed because a few far-sighted indi­viduals
realized that a new interna­tional
order was needed, and few dis­agreed
that U.S. participation was
required to legitimize this body.
Until the early 1960's, the U.S. was
able to control the direction of U.N.
activities for a variety of reasons. Up
until this point, the U.N. was very popu­lar
in the U.S. But with the entry of a
large number of newly-formed nations
into the U.N., U.S. power base began to
erode. The U.S. gradually became a
minority; we constitute at present only 4
1/2 percent of the world's population.
The agenda in the U.N. changed from
a primary concern with the East-West
struggle to the North-South struggle;
first-world countries versus the third-world
countries. The overwhelming
majority of the world is concerned pri­marily
with issues such as development.
To ignore these issues is to effectively
ignore the international community.
The U.N. was never intended to be an
instrument of U.S. foreign policy. The
purpose of the organization is primarily
to provide an open forum where coun­tries
with differences can attempt to
resolve those differences. But the U.N. is
not simply concerned with keeping order
in the world. U.N. agencies perform a
multitude of functions, including inter­national
development, international
trade agreements, curbing world hunger
and disease and working to establish a
general framework of rules for interna­tional
interaction. These functions are
carried out through agencies such as
UNICEF, the World Bank and the U.N.
Conference on Trade and Development
(UNCTAD).
It is impossible to accurately judge the
capacity of the U.N. in terms of its abil­ity
to prevent war for the simple reason
that it is difficult to judge the number of
conflicts that have been defused before
they occur. If two nations can get
together and work out their differences
without resorting to violence, the effort
tends to be downplayed. The U.N. allows
for just such a forum. The moral of the
story is that success is not news.
The U.N. is in no way perfect. There
are many fundamental problems
(including an outdated subscription
method) which need to be addressed, but
these few problems do not justify work­ing
towards the demise of the organiza­tion.
It must be pointed out that the U.N.
is the only organization of its kind in
existence—if it were taken away, there
would be no organization to take its
place.
The U.N. acts as a mirror of the world;
it reflects the moods and the problems of
the world. If the U.S. were to pull out of
the U.N., it would be sending a message
to the world that the U.S. was not inter­ested
in participating in world affairs;
that the U.S. just wanted to draw a cur­tain
across this mirror.
This isolationist policy is simply not
relevant in this day and age; the major
nations of the world simply have too big
a stake in world affairs to withdraw
from the international community.
Yes, the U.N. is an important institu­tion.
It is by no means perfect, but its
functions simply cannot be duplicated
by other bodies. The U.N. is not and
should not be a tool of U.S. foreign pol­icy.
It should be what it is: an interna­tional
forum where nations can meet
and discuss issues pertinent to the
international community, and where
every nation is of equal stature.
In our society we proclaim liberty and
equality as being desirble; it is hypocrit­ical
of us not to follow through with
these principles even though we may be
at a disadvantage in the global forum.
One can only hope that cooler heads will
prevail and the leaders of our country
will understand the vital role filled by
the United Nations.

Vet addition to start
By Beth Hughes
News Staff
Completion of stage two in the
construction of the veterinary
school's Scott Ritchey Labora­tory
is tentatively set for Sept.
1984, according to Veterinary
Dean J.T. Vaughan.
Over 6,000 square feet are
being added to the existing facili­ties.
The addition includes space
for offices, five laboratories, eight
animal holding areas, an indoor
kennel house, storage area and
other miscellaneous rooms.
There will also be 800 square feet
of space outside for pens.
Contractors for the one and a
half million dollar job, which
began in August, are Huff and
Associates Construction Com­pany,
Inc. of Auburn. The project
is being funded strictly by private
money, in particular the Ritchey
Endowment. No state money is
being used.
This second stage of construc­tion
will complete the Scott Rit­chey
Laboratory as originally
planned in 1975. Sufficient funds
were not available at that time to
complete the entire project, so the
construction was broken down
into two stages, Vaughan said.
Stage one, which also included
office space and several laborato­ries,
began in 1978 and the facili-
Construction begins on the veterinary auditorium
ties were occupied in March 1979.
Vaughan added that the next
addition to the vet school, an aud­itorium,
was still in the planning
stages. Money for this project
came from Vesta Lou Walker
Overton, wife of the late John W.
Overton, a former member of the
Auburn University Board of
Trustees. This facility will pro­vide
a meeting place for lectures,
annual veterinary conferences
and other special functions of the
veterinary school.

Former Home Ec dean dies
Funeral services were held for
Dean Emeritus Marion Walker
Spidle in Auburn Thursday, Sept.
29, with graveside services fol­lowing
that day in Elmwood
Cemetery in Birmingham.
Dean Spidle, who retired from
Auburn in 1966, died Sept. 27 at
her Wesley Terrace home in
Auburn.
Dean Spidle served as head of
the department of home econom­ics
at Auburn from 1938 to 1942.
When the department became a
school under her leadership, she
served as dean until her retire­ment.
She also served as Dean of
Women from 1942-47.
By action of the Board of Trus­tees
and the Alabama State
Legislature, the new home eco­nomics
building was named for
her in 1971.
Dean Spidle graduated from
the University of Montevallo,
then Alabama College in 1916
and later received the B.S. and
M.A. from Columbia University.
She was honored in 1963 by the
University of Montevallo as
Alumnus of the Year, having
served three terms as president of
It's a jungle out
there...
the school's alumni association.
She organized and became a
charter member of the Auburn
University Home Economics
Alumni Association which in
1966 created a graduate scholar­ship
in her honor.
She served as president of the
Alabama Home Economics
Association and as chairman of
the State Presidents Unit of the
American Home Economics
Association. In 1968, the
National Council of Administra­tors
of Home Economics honored
her as one of the First 100 Pio­neers
in Home Economics.
Gov. George C. Wallace, during
his first term, appointed Dean
Spidle to the Alabama Status of
Women Commission. In 1960 she
was named Woman of the Year in
Alabama by the Progressive
Farmer.

Books in short supply
By Bryan Crowson
News Staff
Have you ever been unable to
get a book for a class because the
bookstores were sold out? The
bookstores say the main cause of
these shortages is final registra­tion,
or "drop and add."
Each bookstore receives antic­ipated
enrollment figures for
each class from the University.
They use these numbers, com­bined
with their experience from
previous years, in determining
how many books they order.
Each store orders roughly one-third
of the predicted enrollment
for the class. However, the shor­tages
occur because as many as
two or three new sections may be
added to a class at final registra­tion.
The store managers are
generally not notified of the
increased enrollment.
. Some departments do issue
enrollment updates following
r e g i s t r a t i o n , said Larry
McClung, book department
manager of J&M Bookstore, and
Ronnie Anders, manager of And­ers
Bookstore.
"There are always going to be
last minute changes, so the noti­fication
procedures should be
improved in the departments,"
explained Tom Stallworth,
Auburn University registrar.
Another reason for book shor­tages
is the quarter system, the
store managers said. Since most
schools are on the semester sys­tem,
they get a head start in plac­ing
orders with wholesalers,
explained Elmo Prater, manager
of the University Bookstore. "We
may not get our shipments on
time, causing a temporary shor­tage,
or the publisher may be out
of stock completely," said Prater.
"We've had the same problem
since 1966, and it's getting worse
because of the quarter system,"
said Anders, who advocates a
change to the semester system.
Failure to order enough books
does not always cause shortages,
however. A professor once
ordered a certain book for his
class which was different from
accurate enrollment updates.
*Have definite cutoff points at
final registration after which
more students can be added to a
certain course.
*Give greater priority to stu­dents
who pre-register the
courses they have requested,
Short-sighted orders leave stores understocked.
the other sections of the same
course, said Anders. At the
beginning of the quarter, he
changed his mind and told his
students to get the same book as
the other sections, causing a
shortage of that book and an
excess of the one he ordered.
Among the solutions the book­store
managers suggested are:
•Have a person in each
department responsible for giv­ing
the bookstores prompt and

reducing the number of people
who must attend final registra­tion.
*Abandon the quarter system
for the semester system.
Response to some of these sug­gestions
could improve the book
shortage situation, but since
established systems are slow to
change, some students will prob­ably
be forced to borrow some­one's
book for a long time to
come.

A safe house for battered
women and their children, day
care for low income families, edu­cational
programs for multihan-dicapped
children and 24-hour
counseling for rape victims are
just a few of the many charitable
agencies in Auburn supported by
Auburn's United Way organi­zation.
The Auburn United Way
(AUW) kicked off its annual fund-raising
drive last week, and the
campaign is expected to last
through October, said Cleveland
Adams, president.
This year's goal is $125,000—
up from the $90,000 raised last
year, he said.
The money, which will support
26 Auburn agencies, is to be
raised through individual gifts
Way
and pledges made through solici­tations.
About 400 volunteers
from the Auburn area conduct
the drive, which is divided into
business, campus, industry,
institutions, professional and
retired divisions. No soliciting of
individuals is done.
Payroll deduction plans will
provide a large portion of the
anticipated goal. For example,
Auburn University's payroll
plan is expected to yield over
$67,000 for the campaign, Adams
said.
Ninety percent of the money
collected in Auburn will be used
in the community. Ten percent is
overhead for administrative
costs, non-payment of pledges
(which averages about 5-8 per­cent
nation-wide), drive supplies
and salary for the only paid
employee—a part-time executive
secretary.
This year's drive will be the
first time only one drive has been
conducted. Previously, the
separate agencies funded by
AUW had individual drives
throughout the year, in addition
to the AUW drive, Adams said.
"This is the first time that
we've ever had agencies we're
giving to sign an agreement"
stating they will not put on extra
drives, he said.
Promotional activities con­ducted
to generate interest in the
campaign include the recent Mall
Event, in which various agencies
displayed pictorial presentations
of their organizations, and a pre-kickoff
fund-raiser.
The advance campaign pro­gram
was conducted by one of the
AUW divisions. The city division
raised almost $4,000 in its "pace
setter" drive—about five-and-one-
half percent more than was
raised at any point before.
Even though the campaign's
payroll plan will produce a signif­icant
contribution from Auburn
University employees, Adams
stressed that "we have never
been involved any way at all with
the students." He added, "We
want the students to have an
opportunity to learn more about
it."
Adams believes that service
organizations at the university
can save valuable time and
energy by contributing to AUW
because the agencies have
already been thoroughly investi­gated
for authenticity.
The AUW has been a member
of the National Organization of
United Way of America for only
two year. Previously, the fund
raising group was named United
Fund and, before that, Commun­ity
Chest.
Auburn's United Fund joined
the national group in order to
profit by the "more than one
hundred years' experience
they've had," Adams said. The
national body provides work­shops,
films, literature and other
information to its member organ­izations,
Adams said.
"National charges us one per­cent
of what we collect" and
AUW gets back over half of that 1
percent through the material and
information given by the govern­ing
organizations, Adams said.
"We invite anybody to go
around and visit these agencies
and see what they're doing,"
Adams said.
Ag Station combats disease
Keith Cummins has con­fronted
several major problems
plaguing the dairy industry in
his research with the Alabama
Agricultural Experiment Station
at Auburn University.
In the past few years, Cum­mins,
an animal and dairy scien­ces
researcher, has tackled mas­titis,
gossypol toxicity, expensive
protein supplements and a lack
of passive immunity in dairy
calves in his research at the dairy
unit of the E.V. Smith Research
Center in Shorter.
Cummins' success in solving
these problems has varied. One of
his most important recent dis­coveries
is that adding vitamin C
to milk replacer diets for dairy
calves appears to stimulate
antibody production.
When a dairy calf is born, it
spends about 12 hours with its
mother before it is placed on a
milk replacer diet. Frequently,
these calves don't nurse during
this period and therefore don't
receive colostrum, a substance
contained in first milk after calv­ing
which gives the calf passive
immunity until its immune sys­tem
can fully function at about
eight to 12 weeks, Cummins said.
Results from a study by Cum­mins
begun in April indicate the
antibody levels of a calf on a milk
replacer diet containing vitamin
C and not receiving colostrum
were equal to those of a calf that
received colostrum but no
vitamin C. The study should end
in November, and Cummins said
he doubts the results will change.
Vitamin C is inexpensive and
adds little cost to the milk
replacer diet, he said.
Cummins has not fared as well
in an experiment with alfalfa
haylage, alfalfa which is stored
and fermented like silage. Using
alfalfa in a dairy cow's diet
decreases the need for expensive
protein supplements such as soy­bean
meal by as much as 75 per­cent,
Cummins said.
Alfalfa haylage would be a
practical alternative because
Alabama dairy farmers usually
have silage equipment they can
use to make haylage. Alfalfa is
difficult to put up as hay because
of frequent rain during the hay­ing
season in Alabama.
The problem with alfalfa hayl­age
is that cows don't eat it well,
Cummins said. Alfalfa haylage
produced more milk per pound of
feed intake than corn silage in a
recent study by Cummins, but the
haylage intake was lower, even
though it was fed as part of a total
mixed ration, he said. Cummins
said he thinks some substance
produced in fermenting the
alfalfa signals the cow to stop
eating because cows readily eat
alfalfa hay.
Cummins will continue his
experiments with alfalfa this fall.
He wants to determine whether
easing dairy cows gradually onto
the haylage diet will improve
intake. Also, he is going to com­pare
the quality of protein in
alfalfa to that of protein supple­ments
such as soybean meal
because of suggestions by some
scientists that alfalfa provides
inferior quality protein.
In contrast to alfalfa haylage,
dairy cows like to eat whole cot­tonseed,
and dairy farmers like to
feed it to them because it's cheap
and a good source of protein,
fiber and energy.
However, Cummins and Pro­fessor
Emeritus George Hawkins
discovered that, contrary to pop­ular
belief, cows are subject to
gossypol toxicity. Gossypol is a
yellow plant pigment in whole
cottonseed that the researchers
have found can decrease growth
and liver function and destroy
red blood cells in cows.
Accepted methods of treating
gossypol toxicity in livestock
such as pigs backfire with cows,
Cummins
ally fed iron tfllWKrprevent gos­sypol
toxicity, but these salts
cause an accumulation of gos­sypol
in the cow's liver. In other
animals, the salts will clear their
metabolism of the substance.
The high protein diet of a dairy
cow also encourages gossypol
toxicity, because of increased
feeding of cottonseed meal and
whole cottonseed, Cummins said.
He will investigate new ways for
handling gossypol toxicity in
dairy cows this fall.
Cummins is also expecting
results this fall from his research
on another major problem of the
dairy industry, mastitis or
inflammation of the udder. He
and Tom McCaskey, an Experi­ment
Station animal and dairy
sciences researcher, are testing to
determine whether treating a cow
with antibiotics three times dur­ing
her early dry period will con­trol
mastitis better than the
standard method of treating her
once during this period.

i'QVt W" AM/FM Cassette $99—Installed In Your Car
A-10 VLht Suburn plainsman Thursday, October 6, 1983
New foreign language lab improves studies
Auburn University has a new
foreign language laboratory that
boasts the very latest iij sophisti­cated
electronic equipment.
Interim President Wilftvd S.
Bailey this week presided at tape
cutting ceremonies, setting the
new equipment in operation.
Although several other univer­sities
in the state are contemplat­ing
the same system, at present it
is believed to be the only such
unit in the southeast. On order
since before the establishment of
Auburn's recently announced
regional language center, the
new laboratory is expected to
further enhance growing enthu­siasm
for learning a different
tongue.
Installed at a cost of $51,000,
the new lab replaces AU's first
laboratory which went into oper­ation
14 years ago.
"The old reel to reel equipment
wasn't supposed to last more
than five years," said Shirley
Cox, director of the lab since its
inception. "Sure enough, five
years after its installation, parts
were no longer available and we
held it together literally by gray
tape and baling wire."
Under the old system, students
would dial into a tape of French,
Spanish, German or Russian,
reeled on and run in the back
room of the lab. They hoped no
one else had dialed first. If so, the
student might hook in at the
middle and by the time he or she
had found the place in the man­ual
or textbook, most of their
study time would be gone.
To hear one's own voice repeat
the sounds-an important func­tion
of a language lab-most
manipulative efforts on the old
headsets failed, and during the
past several years mounting
frustration kept many students
away from the 50-booth lab,
which had only 20 functioning
units. But now the Sony cassette
units make it easier.
The booths are the same, but
the new units are under student
control, including stop, reverse,
forward and record positions.
There is a simple button to press
for audio-verbal feedback.
Students buy their own
cassettes. They are recorded free
of charge for any lesson the stu­dent
wants to work on and there
are three to six quarters of les­sons
in seven languages.
Cassettes lessons are available in
French, German, Italian, Portu­guese,
Russian, Spanish and
English as a Foreign Lan­guage.
In other state-of-the-art tech­nology,
Cox, who sits at a console
with buttons flush against the
surface, can "come in" to any
booth. Listening to the student's
inflections, she can offer help.
The console also has a confer­ence
mode, allowing from five to
10 students to speak together.
And there is a listening mode. A
message from your teacher, per­haps,
or, at Christmas time,
native carols to sing along with.
Seven classrooms are set up for
remote usage. "This is especially
helpful if the teacher wants to
make a tape for oral or written
tests," according to Cox. "He or
she can be sure their inflections
are perfect."
Making the cassettes for the
students is easier, too. Three 60-
minute tapes, for example, can be
simultaneously duplicated on
both sides in less than 10
minutes.
Cox figured it would take a long
time to learn to operate the sys­tem.
It had taken her a school
quarter to learn the old systems.
She conquered the Sony in two
days.
Funding for the machine was a
joint effort of the School of Arts
and Sciences, and the office of the
University President, said Cath­erine
Perricone, acting head of
the department of foreign lan­guages,
and coordinator of the
fund raising effort.
"We feel that this will be a big
boost to our program which is
already geared to training AU
students for work in interna­tional
fields," she said.
Fraternities receive loans for repairs
P E K I NG
CHINESE RESTAURANT ft
By J i l l Payne
Assistant Technical Editor
Some of the money collected
each year through non-restricted
endowment is loaned by the
Board of Trustees to campus fra­ternities
for repair and mainte­nance
on their houses.
About two or three fraternities
apply each year for the mortgage-type
loans, Grand Davis, assis­tant
to the dean of students said.
"The University would invest
the money from the endowments
anyway" and the fraternity
loans are a way of helping the
students, he said.
"Fraternities apply when
repairs are needed on their prop­erty
and/or house," and the loan
is usually repaid on a nine-month
payment play, Davis said.
"It seems most of the fraternity
houses on campus were built in
about the same era and are now
needing repairs," said Davis.
The fraternity has estimates
made on the cost of the needed
repairs and includes these in a
packet submitted to Davis.
The packet also includes
information pertaining to the
stability and history of the chap­ter,
some projections and future
goals of the fraternity and the
request for funding, Davis said.
He submits the material to the
University Committee on Fra­ternities
and sororities and the
Campus Planning Committee.
If the requests are passed by
these committees the packet is
sent to the president with a
recommendation that the loan be
granted.
Steam heat pipes replaced
By Bryan Crowson
News Staff
The exposed pipes on the con­course
students have been step­ping
over are new steam lines.
The old lines, buried since about
1950, had to be replaced, accord­ing
to Kyle Drake, Physical Plant
riiechanical engineer.
There are two steam plants on
campus, said Drake, the Lang-don
Plant and the Central Plant
on Duncan Drive. The concourse
steamline heats a number of
buildings from the Central Plant.
The steamline is a double-walled
pipe with insulation in
between, because it carries 100
pounds of pressure at 300
degrees. The outer layer of the old
pipe had rusted through and
allowed water to get in the insula­tion,
he said.
Drake predicted the pipe instal­lation
will be finished by Oct. 10,
and the concourse completely
reconstructed by the end of
October. There should be no
heavy machinery noise disrupt­ing
classes because the earth, sod
and brick will be replaced by
hand.
The Physical Plant had
planned to begin the project early
Summer Quarter to be finished
before fall, but the Ric-Will Com­pany
of Illinois did not deliver the
pipe until early August.
The University allotted
$148,000 for the project, and
Drake expects the work to be
completed within the budget.

The Board of Trustees has the
final vote.
The stability of the chapter is
one factor taken into considera­tion
when a fraternity is being
considered for a loan. Factors
such as fraternity probation
could affect the granting of the
loan, he said.
Phi Kappa Tau fraternity
recently received a loan from the
Board for $24,000 for basic
repairs to their fraternity house
roof, heating and cooling sys­tems
and kitchen, Davis said.
Sororities usually receive funds
for chapter room improvements
from their national headquarters.

Construction on Voc Ed building begins
Although it's still three weeks
away-tentatively scheduled now
for Oct. 28--for Richard Baker it
might as well be tomorrow.
It's the groundbreaking at
Auburn University for the new
facilities for the department of
vocational and adult education, a
42,000 square foot building that
will be named in honor of Gov.
George C. Wallace.
It's been in the planning stage
for some 10 years now, Baker,
head of the department, points
out.
"The actual planning for this
building began in 1972, but it
took a long time to come up with
the funding for it," explains
Baker.
Funding for the building was
earmarked from the proceeds of
state bonds issued in 1976, pro­viding
the impetus for further
planning.
But when the bonds provided
were viewed in light of the build­ing's
projected size, it was found
that not enough were available,
which put the whole project on
hold.
Then revenues came from the
state's widely publicized oil lease
windfall, and building plans
finally became a reality.
Baker points out that the new
building will not contain any
general purpose classrooms.
In addition to administrative
offices, the first floor of the new
building will contain four special-purpose
classrooms and labora­tories.'
In addition to a microcomputer
center that will be used for teach­ing
applications, there will be
light mechanical labs in the elec­trical
and electronic areas.
Laboratories for heavy me­chanics,
will be built in four
areas: power and mechanical
technology, manufacturing
technology, agricultural mechan­ics,
and construction and envir­onmental
systems technology,
Baker said.
A special purpose auditorium
with built-in audo-visuals and a
rotating platform will seat 50, he
adds.
The facility's second floor will
house faculty offices and a cur­riculum
resource information
center, in addition to graduate
seminar rooms, teacher educa­tion
labs and a health occupa­tions
laboratory.
The building's site will occupy
the area formerly used as a park­ing
lot across from the security
office on Donahue and Thach.
The department of vocational
and adult education was founded
in the late 1920s as the School of
Agricultural Education.
When the School of Education
was formed it became a depart­ment
within it, and was known
that way until the 1963-64
academic year. Then the depart­ment
became known by its cur­rent
name.
"With that name change, we
emerged as a comprehensive
department which includes
diverse programs," Baker notes.
They include adult education,
agricultural education, business
education, health occupations
education, home economics edu­cation,
marketing and distribu­tive
education, industrial arts
education, technical education,
trade and industrial education,
and office administration.

faculty will teach an undergrad­uate
enrollment estimated at
around 430 students this quarter.
An additional 75 are involved
in graduate study, with most of
those studying at the doctoral
level. Baker says.
Those who graduate with the
bachelor's degree move primarily
to high school, junior college and
vocational/technical teaching
positions, explains Baker.
After graduation, doctoral stu­dents
generally enter a univer­sity
teaching field, or serve as
administrators in vocational or
technical positions.

The Ronnie Milsap concert ,

mission, one which relates
directly to the health of the
State's economy.
"In addition to the workshops
that we hold on the Auburn cam­pus,
over the past year we served
more than 5,000 people through­out
the state through more than
100 workshops," Baker relates.
"These workshops can run
anywhere from one day to five,
and are scheduled near the com­munities
where they are needed."
In addition, the department
runs a vocational teacher certifi-cation
program, a 20-hour course
for instructors who are recruited
from industry.
"This involves a wide range of
vocational areas, but we've even
certified instructors now with the
FBI Academy," Baker said.
"One reason we're excited
about this building is that we will
have the ability to bring a lot of
this kind of in-service training
onto the campus, where before we
lacked the space or facilities."
When the groundbreaking
comes around, expect to see some
faces from Haley Center. Some
faces from Petrie Hall. And some
ifaces from the L-Building.
Right now, that's where the
department's personnel are scat­tered.
It won't be tomorrow-or a
month away-but they will soon
be under the same roof.
Parking improved
By Bob Murdaugh
News Staff
With some projects completed
and others still under considera­tion,
the University Parking &
Traffic Committee has made
efforts to "solve some of the traf­fic
problems oncampus," accord­ing
to Mark Moreman, manager
of Parking and Traffic Services
at the Campus Security Office.
Parking area "D" off Donahue
Drive on the west side of Jordan-
Hare Staduim has been rezoned
and redesignated as "C" for
seniors and graduate students.
The lot was rezoped because of the
construction of a new vocational
education building behind the
sta*dium. Maintenance was done
by the Campus Security Office,
and enforcement began on the
first day of final registration for
this quarter, Sept. 20.
"We've publicized the parking
change on radios, in publica­tions—
the whole nine yards—
and the area is marked as such,"
. said Moreman.
One of the main problems fac­ing
the committee now is traffic
in and around the Quadrangle, _
central area on campus.
"The committee welcomes
comments and suggestions from
those who are interested in its
-business," said Dr. Bill Hardy,
chairman of the committee.
Also under consideration is the
possibility of a shuttle bus sys­tem
on campus.
"There will be many money
restrictions, but the system will
grow as the University's student
enrollment increases," Moreman
said.
Rent to be raised summer
By Missy Harris
Assistant News Editor
The recent increase in housing
rents will be closely followed by
another increase next summer,
Student Housing Director Gail
McCullers said.
A five-year period of rent
increases was scheduled, she
said, because for five years, rent
did not increase at all. The
increase is needed, to cover rising
gas, steam, electricity and water
prices. Already, McCullers said
about $3 million flows out of
Housing yearly for utilities, per­sonnel
and debt payments from
the original construction of the
buildings.
This summer, dorm dwellers
experienced five to 10 percent
rent increases when Student
Housing learned utilties would
cost 17 to 20 percent more this
fall.
As for improvements thus far
with the additional rent
revenues, McCullers said the
Auburn University Board of
Trustees voted to release the
money for roof repairs, but the
necessary specifications have
not been submitted by the Physi­cal
Plant.
McCullers said Bullard Hall is
still closed and money is not
available at this time to make the
repairs required to reopen it.
McCullers said in January of
1983 that the Student Housing
had applied for funding from the
Department of Housing and
Urban Development three times
unsuccessfully.
Bullard Hall was closed in
June of 1982 after 30 years as a
residence hall. Leaky plumbing
and heating systems forced the
closing. Repairing the problem
could mean as much as a $1 mil­lion
bill for Student Housing.
She said Student Housing
doesn't receive state funds and
must generate its own money
through rate hikes.
She said another request can­not
be made this year because the
Physical Plant had already filed
for money to purchase steam
generators. The University can
only make one request per year,
McCullers explained.

Drake health center in need of more funds
By Suzy Fleming and
Susan Hurst
News Staff
Without a $10 student pre-quarter
fee increase, the Drake
Student Health Center may soon
be forced to begin charging stu­dents
for its services.
Dr. Judith Hood, director of the
infirmary, said that although the
center has been operating with­out
the increase for the last five
years, that is no longer possible.
"We've been operating on reserve
funds for that last five years.
We've got enough left now to last
this year only," she said.
The infirmary receives $15 per
quarter per student for a total
income of approximately $900,000.
Its budget, however, is $1.2 mil­lion
a year. It is this $400,000 a
year difference between the Uni­versity
funding and the budget
that has been financed with
reserve funds, Dr. Hood said.
The request for the increased
funding follows a recommenda­tion
by the Health Committee on
the SGA Senate. Although the
funding increase must be
approved by the Board of Trus­tees,
Dr. Hood said, the request
has not yet been put on the
Board's agenda.
"We'll have to charge for our
services if we don't get (the
increase). That will mean even
more cost to the students because
Infirmary may soon charge for services.
Sigma Chi dies in Florida
By Lynne Hopkins
News Editor
An Auburn University junior
died Friday of apparent heart
failure after being in a coma for
two months.
Haywood R. Thornton III went
into a coma after he was involved
in a car accident on Aug. 2 on a
highway outside St. Cloud, Fla.
Thornton was first admitted to
the Orlando Regional Medical
Center and later transferred to
the Holiday Hospital in Orlando
where family members said he
had been progressing while
undergoing some physical
therapy.
Charges were filed Friday
against Corrine Trasti of Kis-simmee,
Fla., the driver of the
vehicle which collided with
Thornton's. Trasti was charged
with manslaughter while driving
under the influence and was
released from the Osceola County
Jail after posting a $2,500 bond.
Thornton was the son of St.
Cloud City Attorney H.R.
Thornton.
The accident occurred while
Thornton was on vacation before
the beginning of fall quarter.
Thornton was attending
Auburn on a four-year U.S. Navy
ROTC scholarship and was
majoring in history and had
planned to enter the Navy law
program after graduation.
While attending Auburn,
Thornton was a member of
Sigma Chi Fraternity and had
served as its initiation chairman.
He also played the saxophone in
the University band.
Eric Gronquist, a close friend
and fraternity brother said, "He
was one of the most genuine peo­ple
you could ever know. He was
an inspiration to the chapter and
everyone loved him."
The St. Cloud High School
band dedicated their perfor­mance
to him last Friday night at
its home football game.
Funeral services were held
Sunday at the First United
Methodist Church in St. Cloud.
Many of Thornton's fraternity
brothers attended.

we are not set up administra­tively
for charging," she said.
Dr. Hood said the infirmary
would have run out of funds
already had vacancies on the
staff been filled earlier in the
year. Because the new fiscal year
has begun, the center will more
than likely have the funds to fin­ish
the year without the increase,
she said.
If the Trustees fail to act on the
request or reject it, Dr. Hood said
she has the authority to begin
charging students for health care
without the board's approval.
Auburn students currently pay
less than other university stu­dents
in the south for the same
services, Dr. Hood said. She
added that it is not uncommon for
student health centers to receive
university funding and charge
for their services.
