Chairman of the SGA Budget
and Finance Committee Julie
Harbarger recommended that
the committee meet again to go
over the budget recommenda­tions
before presenting them to
the Senate at Monday night's
Student Senate meeting.
Harbarger said she wanted her
committee to meet and double-check
the figures one more time
without any pressure so it can be
sure the budget is " 100 percentOK
before we present it." She added,
"I wanted to have time to review
it and verify all the figures one
time."
Harbarger also said the post­ponement
of the budget presenta­tion
was "not a power play. I hope
even more students will come to
the next meeting."
SGA President David Herrick
spoke to the Senate concerning
last Friday's meeting of the
Jurisprudence Committee. Her­rick
said the committee met to
discuss whether it was constitu­tional
for Budget and Finance
hearings to be held winter quar­ter
when the Constitution origi­nally
stated hearings are to be
held in the spring.
Upon Herrick's presentation of
the Jurisprudence Committee's
report, Off-Gampus Senator
Chuck Ledbetter stated that the
members of the committee were
not given sufficient notice of the
meeting. Ledbetter said the Con­stitution
states the committee
members must have two,days'
notice prior to the scheduled
meeting, and he was told by a
committee member they were not
notified until the day before the
meeting.
Herrick said later, "Chuck had
a good point, and we talked for
about an hour Monday night and
came to some agreements." He
also explained that the Jurispru­dence
Committee is a separate
branch of the SGA. As president
he only notifies them of when
they are to meet and they "take it
from there."
He later stated only four of the
six members of the committee
were present at the meeting.
Herrick said he thought having
budget hearings winter quarter
was the best way to get the best
results. He explained that he sees
the disagreements among the
Senate as "good dialogue." He
said, "The war going on has been
good because we've reached some
common ground."
On Tuesday Ledbetter sent a
memo to the Jurisprudence
Committee,saying,"I feel that the
hearings did not violate the
intent of the Constitution. The
Constitution's intent is to provide
effectiveness which was the pur­pose
for holding Budget and
Finance hearings winter quar­ter."
The Off-Campus Committee
presented a resolution to the
Senate concerning the formation
of an Off-Campus Housing
Board which also passed. The
board will inspect and rate off-campus
apartments. The rating
would be based on an inspection
of the housing facility and inter­views
with present tenants.
Off-Campus Senator Chris
Loughram presented the bill to
the Senate and said" This resolu­tion
will ensure better housing for
students who wish to live
off-campus."
Broun Hall's namesake
should debut summer
By Jill Applegate
Features Staff
As the mighty cranes destroy
the long-standing edifice of
Broun Hall, floors are being fin­ished,
furniture is being ordered,
lighting and cooling systems are
being installed and equipment is
being transferred into an archi­tectural
masterpiece bearing the
same name.
Ground was broken for the new
electrical engineering building
across from the Pharmacy
School on April 30, 1982.
Although the structure itself
appears complete, there are still
some details to be taken care of
like the ones mentioned above:
Dean of the Engineering School
Lynn Weaver said, "It will take
about one quarter to move in. It
should be in full swing summer
quarter."
Weaver also said electrical
engineering is the fastest grow­ing
discipline. He said it has the
largest enrollment of all the other
engineering departments.
Professor James Lowry of the
Electrical Engineering Depart­ment
said the number of students
in the department has increased
15 percent per year for the last
several years. Combined with the
Computer Science Department,
the total number of students
equals about 10 percent of the
entire student body.
Yet, the Electrical Engineering
Department has occupied
approximately the same facilities
since 1967. In light of these fig­ures
Lowry added, "We are in dire
need of expanding."
The present facilities in use are
the AC Laboratory Building,
Shop Basements Two and Three
and Dunstan Hall.
Senior electrical engineer Scott
Clayton said consolidating all
the electrical engineering class­rooms
and labs into one building
will "bring the Electrical Engi­neering
Department more
together." ,
Clayton said he feels a definite
need for more space in the
department. By putting 50-60
students in a small, crowded
classroom, it's extremely difficult
to create a personal learning
environment. One feels more like
a face in a crowd rather than an
individual student, he said.
The new electrical engineering
building project was at the top of
the Auburn University Building
List in 1964 when the need for
expansion became apparent. In
1975 an active interest in the pro-ject
arose. The University
secured a bond issue from the
Legislature in 1978, and in 1982
sold seven bonds allowing con­struction
bidding to begin.
Hoyt Henley Construction
Company of Montgomery com­bined
efforts with the architectu­ral
firm of Sherlock, Smith and
Adams, also of Montgomery, to
design and build the four-story,
red-brick structure that stands
silent behind Thach Hall await­ing
the invasion of calculating
and curious electrical engineers.
The details capable of arousing
the curious range from computer-oriented
automatic heating and
cooling system controls to decor­ative
yet efficient air intakes and
exhausts shading the windows.
More details include a four
component lighting system
designed and implemented by
professor Lowry to provide the
exact desired intensity and loca­tion
of light in each room. The
designers even thought of mod­ern
bicycle racks that don't bend
the front wheel, he said.
Descending the front ramp, the
main entrance for student use
leads to the lower level or the first
floor. On the left is a large student
study area with four small offices
for student engineering organi­zations
and a kitchenette. A
vending and convenience area is
just a few yards down the hall.

Search for new vice president begins
By Irene Trowbridge
News Staff
The search and screening
committee has been appointed
and the search for a vice presi­dent
has begun, President James
E. Martin said Tuesday.
Martin said he is looking for a
vice president who has broad
perspectives, is qualified in both
research and public service and
has some administrative expe­rience.
He said he would like to
appoint someone with a '.'differ­ent
background" from his own so
the appointee would add a new
dimension of thinking to the uni­versity.
Perhaps someone in
science or the humanities would
be appointed, Martin said.
The main requirement is that
the vice president be able to
At CAUSE forum
communicate well with the stu­dents,
faculty and staff of
Auburn University, Martin said.
Martin said he has already
received nine or ten recommen­dations
from the search and
screening committee. Some of the
applicants are from out-of-state,
but Martin said some candidates
are faculty members at Auburn.
The position has been adver­tised
in the Chronical of Higher
Education since Feb. 16, and the
vice presidential position will be
filled by April 15, according to
Martin.
The vice president will be
responsible for aiding in the
preparation of the budget, plan­ning
within t.ie institution and
maintaining ijood relations with
the legislature.
Former Interim President Wil-ford
S. Bailey says the office of
vice president is "critical" to an
effective administration. Bailey
did not appoint a vice president
during his administration
because he said he didn't think it
would be fair to appoint someone
to a term which would last for
only a period of about one year.
The president has the author­ity
to restructure the layout of
offices, as well as appoint his
administration, according to Bai­ley.
Bailey. said he felt the
appointments should be made by
the new president, Martin,
because his position is more per­manent
than the position was
during an interim admini­stration.
Bailey chose to spread the
duties of the vice president
among his other staff members,
but he said a vice president is
necessary so someone will be in
charge of the University when
the president is away.
Martin said he is holding
interviews with vice presidential
candidates, and one of the candi­dates
has already been on the
campus.
The vice president will be
selected through the recommen­dations
of the search and screen­ing
committee, based on the
strengths and weaknesses of the
candidates in different areas.
Martin said if all qualifications
of candidates are equal, he would
prefer someone from Auburn
University who is familiar with
the position to fill the vacancy.
Martin answers student questions

[artin fields questions at CAUSE forum
By Beth Hughes
Assistant News Editor
In a question and answer
forum on Tuesday, Auburn's new
president.Dr.James E. Martin,
responded to student questions
about university problems.
The forum, sponsored by the
Coalition of Auburn University
Students for Education (CAUSE),
was designed to let Martin meet
the students and hear their ideas
about the University.
Before answering student
questions, Martin began his
presentation by explaining the
Council of Higher Education's
new formula for budget recom­mendations
and why it would
benefit Auburn. He added that
the new procedure would give
Auburn a 23.7 percent increase
for operations and maintenance.
Martin commented he has been
trying to learn as much as he can
about the campus and its differ­ent
programs. He has met with
student leaders, honors students
and representatives from the dif­ferent
schools to discuss the
needs and challenges of the Uni­versity
and what can be done to
increase the value of an Auburn
University degree.
The first question asked of
Martin was about minority enrol­lment
and w.hat could be done to
raise it. Martin commented, "We
need more role models in the
faculty. Only seven-tenths of one
percent of the faculty are minori­ties."
He added that the minority
population in Auburn is very
high, therefore not many minori­ties
are attracted to this area.
He also said there is not enough
money for minority scholarships
because the "money seems to run
out at the 'need' level. We need
more money for academic
scholarships."
We asked about the Circle con­troversy,
Martin replied "Wel­come
to the real world." He went
on to say he had talked to people.

Third World Debt Grows
The debt of Third World con-tries

past year, causing watchers of
the international economy to
become even more worried. A
key to stopping the increasing
debt is the lowering of inter­est

Kuykendall takes over at Davidson
Photography: Jay Sailor*
By Beth Hughes
Assistant News Editor
Dr. John Kuykendall, head of
the Religion Department at
Auburn, was named president of
Davidson College last Friday.
Kuykendall will take over the
job on July 1 from Frontis John­ston,
interim president since the
retirement of Samuel R. Spencer
last year. Kuykendall will con­tinue
to teach at Auburn until the
end of spring quarter.
Davidson College, located in
Davidson, N.C., is a small liberal
arts college and is Kuykendall's
alma mater.
Though Kuykendall said he is
excited about going back to
Davidson, he said it was a diffi­cult
thing to do. "I have really
strong ties to Auburn, and it will
be hard to leave."
. Kuykendall added that he is
looking forward to being at a lib­eral
arts institution. "I am going
to use my experiences here at
Auburn and apply them to my job
at Davidson.
"It's quite an opportunity to get
this position," said Kuykendall,
"but also quite a challenge."
Kuydendall was chosen from a
field of over 300 applicants and
nominees by a search committee
formed after Spencer's retire­ment.
Chairman of Davidson's Board
of Trustees, Fred Stair Jr., says of
Kuykendall, "His educational,
academic, and personal credien-tials
are impeccable. He has dis­tinguished
himself as a student, a
teacher, an academic leader and
as a Presbyterain theologian."
Student Act to be dedicated A-Day
The new Student Activities
Center will be dedicated in
ceremonies on Saturday, April
28. With the annual A-Day foot­ball
game scheduled the same
day, attendance at the event
should be bolstered by off-campus
visitors who wish to
attend both "kick-offs."
In addition to alumni, stu­dents,
faculty and staff members
are expected to attend, said Pat
Barnes, dean of students.
"This is a dream that has been
shared by all of these groups,"
Barnes said. "It will become a
reality as we open up the new
center."
While the formal ceremonies
will wait until the A-Day week­end,
it is anticipated that the faci­l
i ty will be in use at the begin­ning
of spring quarter.
"We had planned originally to
open the facility at the start of
winter quarter," she said. "How­ever,
plans were delayed as the
result of minor, but important,
changes and modifications made
by the contractor before the
building would be accepted for
use by the University."
Some of the areas under modi­fication
are the bleachers, the
volleyball standards, automatic
controls for the basketball-goals,
as well as some sidewalk and
landscaping details. The roof is
also undergoing scrutiny.
"Because the new center is a
joint project of the students and
administration, it is considered
imperative that the building meet
the expectations, as much as pos­sible,
of all those involved. Only
then will it be accepted for sche­duling
of events and activities,"
commented Barnes.
Last summer Interim Presi­dent
Wilford Bailey appointed a
Student Activities Center Advi­sory
Committee to write policies
for and manage the new facility.
The committee includes Rhett
Riley, Joel Melville, John Bur­gess
Jr., Claude Saia and Barnes
as faculty/staff representatives.
Student representatives are
David Herrick, Steve Baum,
Terry Bozeman, Tim Warzecha,
Alfred David and Andrea
Tashik.

Committee sets goals to
recognize good teaching
A special committee of the SGA
met Monday and determined as
its goal establishing a way to find
points of mutual interests of stu­dents
and faculty and to main­tain
and recognize good teach­ing.
The committee would like to
maintain good teaching stand­ards
through administration,
research, extension and teaching
combining together.
The idea for the committee was
initiated by Steve Cates, secre­tary
of Academic Affairs of the
SGA. Last summer, the SGA
initiated a proposal to require
published evaluations of tea­chers
by students. Cates said the
plan called for teacher evalua­tions
throughout every curricu­lum
at the end of each quarter.
The committee will be search­ing
for a method of evaluating
teachers other than merely by
time spent in a classroom. Karen
Bynum, member of the commit­tee,
said, "We would like to be
open for student input of teachers
and use those opinions to reward
teachers either by the SGA or the
administration."
Members of the faculty/stu­dent
special committee are Steve
Cates, Karen Bynum, Glennelle
Halpin, Gerald Wilt, Bill Holley
and Bill Sauser.

Engineering school expects funds to double
By Lynne Haynes
News Staff
The total contracted funding
for research in the School of
Engineering is expected to double
to $16 million over the next two
years, if all goes well with the
research expansions planned for
the school, said Dr. Lynn Weaver,
dean of the School of Engineer­ing.
The School of Engineering is
now seeking funds for two pro­jects:
the expansion of Microelec­tronics
and the Solid State Scien­ces,
and the development of an
Advanced Technical Manage­ment
Center, which would affect
all disciplines of the school.
If funding comes through,
Weaver said, the department will
be getting more sophisticated
equipment with better research
capabilities.
Engineering is a rapidly devel­oping
field. Weaver said the extra
funding will allow Auburn to
keep in tune with technology and
move deeper into research.
Additional staff members will
have to be hired when the expan­sions
occur, but the dean said the
number depends on the amount
of money available.
Auburn will be able to present

researchers from industry with
attractive recruiting packages.
The offers will include a stimulat­ing
working environment along
with nice salaries, Weaver said.
The equipment will allow
teachers to be creative, and the
environment will stimulate crea­tive
thinking and productivity.
If Auburn invests in capable
personnel and good researchers,
Weaver said, the amount of fund­ing
the University receives from
outside sources will be affected.
Research on campus, is an
"economic development activ­ity,"
Weaver said. It is an indus­try
in itself.
A comprehensive university
with healthy research capabilties
will attract industry and big bus­iness,
Weaver said. This will
mean more money spent in the
state.
Combined with the income
multiplier (how many times
money is spent as it changes
hands from industry down to the
consumer), the effect of that
spending will result in economic
growth.
The planned expansions and
new technology will continue to
attract graduate students to the
School of Engineering.
Weaver said that last year the
number of undergraduates in
Engineering grew by 5 percent,
compared to a 35 percent growth
in Engineering graduate stu­dents.
The latter growth is important
because these students make real
progress, Weaver said. Auburn
needs graduate students to
expand the research programs.
There are several research
expansion programs in planning
for the School of Engineering.
They include the following:
—The summer 1985 completion
of Engineering II, which will
provide about 40,000 square feet
of research space for Civil
Engineering.
-Electrical Engineering will
vacate its present space this
summer when the new Electrical
Engineering building (new
Broun Hall) is completed. Com­puter
Science and Engineering,
Mechanical Engineering and
Industrial Engineering will take
•over that empty space after it has
been renovated.
-Federal matching funds are
being sought to build a new Aero­space
Engineering building.
-If funding is approved, plans
will be made to expand research
facilities for Microelectronics
and Solid State Sciences in coop-eration
with the Physics
Department.
Dr. Richard Jaeger, professor
of Electrical Engineering, said
the Microelectronics and Solid
State Sciences at Auburn Uni­versity
are among the top 10 out
of 25 such university programs in
the nation.
And with the planned research
expansion, that position could go
even higher.
Microelectronics, in Jaeger's
terms, is the "science and art of
electronic miniaturization." It is
the method used to make inter-grated
chips, placing thousands,
and even millions, of tiny tran­sistors
onto one chip, each device
having a separate duty.
Graduate students at Auburn
have put 1,000 to 2,000 transis­tors
on a single chip. Jaeger said
the department has the capabil­ity
of putting tens of thousands of
these devices on one unit, but the
problem is with the design time
and the payoff of that time.
To place 100,000 transistors
onto a chip, a fairly common
practice with industries, takes 20
man years—one man working
full time for 20 years. Such an
endeavor would be unprofitable
for the University.
Industry can put one million
transistors on a single chip, and
Jaegar said that number could
increase to 100 million before
scientists reach basic physical
limits.
Microelectronics will begin
moving into the new Electrical
Engineering building in March
or April and should have classes
beginning summer quarter.
Jaeger said the new equipment
and processing facilities will
allow his classes to investigate
the properties of transistors and
the limits of miniaturization.
The complexity of designing
these chips is hard to understand,
Jaeger said, and the new equip­ment
and facilities will be
helpful.

A computer software package
valued at $250,000 has been
donated to Auburn University by
the software manufacturer
CADAM of Burbank, Calif., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Lockheed Corporation.
The software package will aid
the architecture department and
others in applying state-of-the-art
technology to teaching and
research involving computer-aided
design, according to Bruce
Lewis, director of academic com­puting
services for the Division of
University Computing.
The package permits the
replacement of design drawings
with two-dimensional computer
images using the computer-aided
design approach. The method is
widely used in private industry
and increasingly used in archi­tectural
firms, so training in its
design applications will be a big
advantage to students entering
the job market in design-related
fields, Lewis said.
Wayne Drummond, head of the
Department of Architecture, said
the majority of architectural
firms now use computers and
more are exptected to do so in the
future. "The essential decision is
for us to get involved in the com­puter
age," Drummond said. "We
see the changing nature of the
profession."
The software package is being

Drummond said the CADAM
system will provide an introduc­tion
to computer-aided design for
students, who will then be able to
adjust rapidly to various gra­phics
systems they may find on
the job. He called the CADAM
system one of the most sophisti­cated
two-dimensional design
programs in the world. It has the
further advantage of being a
good base for still other advanced
systems, he added.
Design drawings formerly
done on paper can be done on a
graphics terminal using the
CADAM system. Once the design
is completed, the computer opera­tor
can rotate the design through
any angle or direction the opera­tor
desires, while continually
retaining the integrity of the

Leap year gives women special rights
By Lynn Schrader
Features Staff
Well, girls—it's that time
again—Leap Year.. And do you
know what that means? Accord­ing
to tradition, it means this is
the year when women can ask
men for their hand in marriage.
Leap year originated in 46 B.C.,
when the astronomers of Julius
Caesar decided the solar year
would be 365 days and six hours
long. But after four years, those
extra hours add up to a day,
which is added to the fourth year
as Feb. 29.
Women have had the special
leap year privilege of proposing
to men for many years. Laws
have even been written concern­ing
this tradition. The earliest
known is a Scottish law recorded
in 1288 which forbids a man to
refuse a woman's proposal. It
says "for ilk mayden ladye of
bothe highe and lowe estait shall
hae liberte to bespeke ye man she
likes, albeit he refuses to taik hir
to be his lawful wyfe, he shall be
mulcted in ye sum of ane pundis
or less, as his estait shall be." The
"ane pundis" means one pound—
a fair amount in those days.
Around 130, a similar law was
passed in France that specified
repercussions for the man who
thought he wasn't quite ready to
take the plunge. In the 15th cen­tury,
the custom of the female
asking the male was legalized in
Genoa and Florence, Italy.
And, in the British Isles, there
was an unwritten law up until the

AUVES
19th century that the man had to
buy a silk dress for the lady if he
turned her down. But, the man
was forewarned. Tradition
-required that the woman doing
the asking had to wear a red pet­ticoat
that was clearly visible
when she went out to snag her
man.
Today, with women's libera­tion
and a declining marriage
rate, this custom has become
more and more ignored. Men are
no longer required by law to
accept a proposal of marriage.
Yet, in Aurora, 111., a strange city
ordinance snuck its way on to the
records. It declares that it is ille­gal
to be a bachelor in that town
on Feb. 29. But, apparently, the
city doesn't enforce that one
strictly. Aurora's bachelor rate
isn't much different from any
other town's.
A benefit stemming from the
addition of the day of Feb. 29 is a
free day of rent. Saloons used to
celebrate this by serving drinks
on the house because the day waa
not costing them any rent.
Then, those persons born on
Feb. 29 get slighted in their
birthday celebrations. Legally,
they only have a birthday every
fourth year. This has been known
to cause some problems from a
legal point of view concerning a
person's real "legal" age. In an
attempt to clear up some of this
confusion, an English law during
the reign of Henry VIII made
Feb. 28 of non-leap years the
birthday of those born on Feb. 29
of a leap year. In some states
today, there are statues that
make Feb. 28 and 29 count as one
day for legal purposes.

Academic honesty
At the University of Virginia, stu­dents
can get expelled upon a first
offense.
At the University of the South in
Sewanee, it is based entirely on the
honor system and is quite effective.
At Auburn University, however,
repeat offenders often get off with
nothing more than a "slap on the
wrist" reprimand.
The offense referred to in the
above paragraphs is an infraction of
the student Academic Honesty
Code, a code that, due to lack of
imposition of sufficient penalties,
has come to mean next to nothing at
Auburn.
For years, the academic honesty
policy set up by our SGA has been
repeatedly broken. However, few
offenders are ever brought up for
possible action to be taken against
them and, of those few, even fewer
are actually penalized for breaking
what should be the most important
rule for Auburn students.
The SGA Code of Laws (Chapter
1012) defines an infraction of the
Academic Honesty Code as cheat­ing,
submission of work other than
your own, plagiarism and taking an
examination for another student.
In the next section, entitled
"Sanctions," one can find a list of
possible penalties to be imple­mented
against offenders.
The key word here is "possible."
Not only are the penalties listed not
enough to keep potential cheaters
from cheating, the Code doesn't
require any action at all to be taken
against offenders.
Included in this list of possible
penalties are an "F" in the course,
and "F" with the notation"assigned
for dishonesty" to appear on the
offender's transcript for a tempor­ary
time, suspension from univer­sity
functions and suspension from
the University.
It would be nice to think that if
these rules were strengthened, stu­dents
would quit cheating at
Auburn. If would be nice to think
that if the notation "for academic
dishonesty" were to be placed on a
student's permanent record that
that would bring an end to academic
dishonesty.
This would help, but it wouldn't
solve the problem.
The root of the problem lies not
with the ambiguity of the Code but
in the classroom. It is up to profes­sors
to ensure that each student
caught cheating receives an approp­riate
penalty.
We suggest that the faculty start
by taking the lead of several profes­sors
who have already included
strong cheating policies on their
quarter's syllabus. This way, the
student who cheats knows what he
is up against and won't be surprised
when he is penalized. Definite rules
should be established and followed
in all circumstances.
In addition, the University should
enforce a policy that works for the
suspension of a student caught
cheating, depending on the severity
of the case. This University Code
should be followed by all teachers,
not just a select few.
Some professors argue that the
only person being hurt by cheating
is the one who commits the act. This
died for the exam and is trying to
pass the test honestly.
It is important that the rising rate
of student cheating be curbed. We
urge the committee charged with
investigating academic honesty at
Auburn to look deep into the matter
and propose real solutions to a grow­ing
problem.
In closing, let us quote the Code of
Law's Academic Policy. Perhaps if
some students read it, they will re­cognize
what Auburn expects out of
them and will try harder to deliver.
"Honesty, integrity and scrupu­lous
individual responsibility are
essential to scholarship and to the
existence of a university. The gen­eral
and specific obligations and
purposes to which Auburn Univer­sity
is dedicated and committed can
be met only when there is honesty
and integrity throughout the aca­demic
community."
'Good news is no news
Nobody robbed a liquor store on
the lower part of town,
Nobody O.D. 'ed, nobody burned
a single building down,
Nobody fired a shot in anger,
nobody had to die in vain,
We sure could use a little good
news today.
—from Anne Murray's "A
Little Good News"
It has to be one of the most frequently
asked questions of the editors and wri­ters
involved with The Plainsman —
Why doesn't a newspaper ever print
good news instead of all the bad?
This is not a question that is easily
answered, but I'll give it a try. Since I
obviously cannot speak for the editors of
other newspapers, I'll take it from The
Plainsman's point of view.
First of all, when The Plainsman
prints news, we rarely ever categorize it
as good or bad. We simply try to state
the facts and let the reader decide
whether it is good or bad.
Our job is to present the news as ac­curately
as possible without making a
judgment, except on the editorial
pages, where we get to express our opin­ions
on the major news of the week.
Thus, when trying to fill up the news
pages week after week, we classify news
as "newsworthy" or "not newsworthy,"
not what is good or bad.
"Newsworthiness" is the amount of
interest or readership we feel an article
will generate among our readers.
The fact is, good news is rarely news­worthy
or to paraphrase a familiar
cliche', "good news is no news."
Sure, a lot of good happens every day,
but have you ever stopped to think what
it would be like in the newspaper?
How many of you can honestly say
you would pick up a newspaper with the
banner headline, "No Controversy in
SGA meeting this week"? '
Nine weeks out often, there is no con­troversy
at SGA meetings .Thus, it really
is not newsworthy. However, when
something controversial does happen in
this meeting, you should see this story in
The Plainsman, because it is not your
average SGA meeting. It has suddenly
become newsworthy.
To illustrate this point further, there
are some sample headlines based upon
the above-quoted verse from "A Little
Good News," Anne Murray's song.
Al's liquor store does busi­ness
as usual today
Dorm 3 still standing after
fourteen years
Not very exciting, is it? However, if Al
had been robbed or Dorm 3 had burned
down, it might cause you to give the arti­cle
a second look.
The point is, good things happen con­stantly.
People cross the street without
getting run over, children buy candy
that isn't poisoned and Third World
nations go through weeks without
fighting.
It is only when something out of the
ordinary happens, such as a hit-and-run
or a rash of poisonings, that these
events become newsworthy.
Newspapers don't search for bad news
to print. In fact, features and personality
profiles are often used as a way to
lighten up the paper, since most every­thing
that turned out to be newsworthy
will be interpreted by many as negative.
I agree with the song; we sure could
use some good news. But you have to
accept the bad along with the good, and
newspapers cannot ignore what really is
news.
Haste makes waste
Haste makes waste, and nothing
illustrates this point better than the
recent controversy surrounding the
legality of the Budget and Finance
meetings.
At the senate meeting Monday
night, a senator claimed the hear­ings
were unconstitutional since it,
was stated that B and F shall con-:'
vene no later than ten days after the
senators' election.
Although SGA President David
Herrick took the matter before the
Jurisprudence Comittee and it
decided unanimously that the hear­ings
were constitutional, another
question arose over the constitu­tionality
of the meeting itself.
Now, however, that same senator
who called the hearings unconstitu­tional
has written a letter to the
jurisprudence committee urging it to
find the hearings constitutional.
This all sounds terribly confusing,
but this confusion could have been
avoided had our SGA leaders had
the foresight to take care of the
problem.
There is no excuse for this clause
having been left in the Constitution
in the first place; when the hearings
were changed to winter quarter,
every angle should have been
covered. If this had happened, no
one could question the legality of the
hearing.
Along the same lines, the senator
who first called the hearings uncon­stitutional
and later reversed his
stance should have thought out his
opinion more carefully before he
came public with his allegation.
In essence, a lot of problems could
have been alleviated had everyone
involved just taken the time to think
them out, instead of trying to forge
full steam ahead, oblivious to any
"trivialities" in the Constitution.
We hope the SGA takes a good
long look at what has gone on this
week so that problems like this.that
could have been headed off in the
.first placeman be avoided in years to
come.
Stuart's death jogs childhood memories

V.P. search should be open affair
Our new president, James E. Mar­tin,
has announced that applica­tions
are being taken to fill the exec­utive
vice presidential slot for the
University.
Nominations and applications
are being solicited through national
ads in various publications. The
deadline for applying for the job is
March 12, and the new vice presi­dent
is expected to be able to take
over the position by March 30.
In order to insure a fair search,
Martin has appointed a diverse
representation of campus interests
to the search and screening
committee.
Included on this committee are
members of the economics, agricul­ture,
arts and sciences, education,
research and graduate schools and
engineering departments, as well as
James O. Williams, chancellor of
Auburn University at Montgomery.
On the surface, all areas of uni­versity
life (except students) seem
well-repreeenit^ by the members of
this committee. However, efforts
should be made to avoid problems
associated with the Funderburk
search selection process and, to a
lesser degree, the search process
that ended with Martin's selection
in January.
The primary "area" the com­mittee
should work on is to try and
eradicate much of the secrecy
involved with Martin's selection.
Efforts such as publicizing a list of
criteria for the position would help
to make this search more public.
In addition, campus visits and
meetings with faculty and student
leaders are also appropriate
The office of executive vice presi­dent
is second only to that of presi­dent
in terms of power and the
search process should reflect a
genuine effort to seek an unques­tionably
qualified applicant.
No matter how public or private
the process ends up becoming, the
screening committee cannot be too
careful in selecting the right person
for this job.
We urge all the members of the
> Every once in a while, something
comes along and jogs your memory,
making you remember a person or event
from somewhere in your past. And
every once in a while, you can smile and
reflect on those memories and past
happy times.
More often than not those times cause
me to recall memories about people very
special to me. The events themselves
aren't so important; it is the individuals
that I remember most.
My memory was jogged in this
fashion last week by a short story by the
contemporary author Jesse Stuart. The
main character, the grandfather of an
eight-year-old-boy, made me think back
to the hours I spent observing and talk­ing
to my own grandfather.
Grandpa is a special person, one who
cares about everybody and everything.
Most people would say that about their
grandparents, and I don't blame them.
If they are as sincere and encouraging
as mine, they deserve such respect. Many
were the days that I spent walking
through grassy pastures, listening to his
stories and admiring the way he lived
his life.
Since coming to Auburn, I have lost
such close contact with my grandpar­ents.
I still see them when I go home
occasionally for weekends and during
holiday breaks. They always come to see
me, never expecting me to show up at
their door. They only live three miles
away, so there is no excuse for my not
visiting them. But you know how busy
college students are with homework,
tests, friends and catching up on sleep.
There's simply no time.
What a sad and sorry excuse for miss­ing
out on the companionship of a
wonderful and caring person. The wis­dom
and guidance of older people is a
learning resource that we cannot ignore
by shoving them aside in favor of book
knowledge and popular theories.
I feel that class instruction runs a poor
second to actual experience.
Yes, I enjoy hearing professors talk
about theories, well-known facts and
ideals, but somehow it is different com­ing
from a person who lived through the
Depression, two world wars, a nation
torn apart by Vietnam and men travel­ing
in outer space.
The philosophies he lives by are dif­ferent
from ours. They don't deal with
white-collar computer technology and
payments on a new Mercedes, but with
life and the enjoyment of it. They don't
center around the making and spending
of money, but the building and growth of
an individual. And those are qualities
we cannot live without.
I feel guilty when I reflect on the way
he has been pushed back on my list of
importance. That is not the way it
should be.
And so, when I read Stuart's story, my
mind turned back to those days years
ago when I sat on Grandma and Grand­pa's
front porch and listened to them
discuss their lives together. Those were
warm, secure days compared to the frus­tration
and unhappiness I sometimes
feel now. It is a shame things can't
always be the same.
I also heard that Stuart died last week.
America lost one of its great writers with
his passing. But he left behind a treasure
of wonderful literature and memory-recalling
stories.
Mr. Stuart, wherever you are, I thank
you for your story and the wonderful
memories it brings to my mind. It's nice
to recall those buried feelings and happy
memories and remember the importance
of the ones we love.
Rest in peace, Mr. Stuart, rest in peace.

Auburn University has often been
accused of being backward , most of the
time for no real reason.
However, there is one aspect of
Auburn which continually shows itself
as being unwarned, unplanned and
often ridiculous. This can be none other
than the unusual weather that Auburn
can receive at any given time during the
year.
It would be unrealistic to believe that
any weather forecaster could predict
warm spring weather, and only a few
days later snowflakes covered the skies
giving students the first real glimpse of
winter. Oh, what a difference a day
makes!
Having lived in the Midwest for a good
part of my life, I have gotten to know
what real weather is. Real weather con­sists
of having heat waves in the months
of May through September and then
going on to have five feet of snow on the
ground from October through April. The
South may have one thing to learn from
the North—but only one.
The worst thing about Auburn's
weather is that it doesn't know when to
come. This week for the first time I've
had the urge to sing Christmas carols
just in time for St. Patrick's Day.

weather.
There is one good aspect in the sudden
change to colder weather and that is
that my diet will now be postponed for
another few weeks.
While most girls work to try different
diets throughout the course of a year, I
like to diet for a week after I see the first
bathing suits on campus. Now that there
has been an interruption of snow from
the first bathing suits the diet will just
have to wait.
One of the most noticeable problems
that Southerners have with snow is that
we don't know how to drive in it. Even a
few flurries can cause traffic to become
backed up for blocks and gives tow
trucks their business of the year.
Even though snow in Auburn is only a

* Circle justified
Editor's notM:Jue t0 a rattier harried
editing job Ic week, the letter by Jan
Hoaey cof<rnin8 the Circle was
changed, ff letter appears in its origi­nal
form &w-
Editor, T* Plainsman:
As a m aber of the Student Editorial
Board ofne Auburn Circle, I would like
to expta1 what I believe are some of my
obligat"*18' moral and otherwise, to the
magazi e an(^ t o t n e Auburn student
body.
Mr} is the formidable task of reading
and /aluating every poem, short story,
essf'an^ article submitted to the Circle
for ublication. Upon completion of that
ta,<i, all members of the editorial board
vpe on which submissions will be
frcluded in the magazine. I'm well-
{Cquainted with any doubts, hopes and
rears felt by those who offer submis­sions.
Consequently, the evaluations
and decisions I'm required to make are
never easy for me.
My first and foremost moral consider-ation
in deciding what I believe should
be prjnted is that I serve Auburn stu­dents
as conscientiously as I can. Since
we are all different individuals, and
since I cannot possibly anticipate which
submissions the majority of students
will like best, I believe I am morally obli­gated
to read, evaluate and select sub­missions
without regard for my, or any
specific individual's.personal beliefs.
There are students who criticize the
Circle, saying the magazine changes
from year to year and no longer fulfills
the purpose for which it was established.
I believe those students will find the
same lack of continuity, reflecting
yearly changes in editors and staff
members, in every Auburn student
publication.
Additionally, I believe that lack of
continuity is an elemental part of the
educational potential offered by student
publications. However, in spite of con­ceptual
differences from year to year, the
Circle has been and remains Auburn's
general interest magazine, created by
and for Auburn students.
One of the conceptual principles
behind this year's issues of the Circle is
to publish student submissions which
provide some picture of thoughts and
social environments with which the
average Auburn student may not be
familiar.
The goal behind that principle is to
stimulate dialogue between students of
different backgrounds and beliefs. The
classroom is not the only place to receive
the benefits of attending a university:
through conversations with different
kinds of people, we are all in the process
of educating each other.
This principle goes hand-in-hand with
Auburn University's traditional goals.
Furthermore, it serves not only as the
basis for my strong commitment to the
Circle, but also as one of the guidelines
by which I help decide the content of the
magazine.
Because some students are upset by
the content of one issue of the Circle,
selected by the staff members of one
year, they suggest that the unique, edu­cational
potential offered and estab­lished
by the Circle be "scrapped"
entirely.
I do not believe the general practice
among healthy individuals is to call in
the wrecking crew to demolish a house
simply because one does not care for the
color of the front door.
The Circle welcomes submissions and
staff members from the entire academic
community. The opportunity is there, for
anyone who doesn't like the content of
the Circle, to become involved in chang­ing
it.
But by failing to support the alloca­tion
of a mere 2 percent of student activi­ties
fees to fund the Auburn Circle, you
will destroy a tradition established in
accordance with the goals of Auburn
University, and in accordance with your
reason for being here.
I would take this opportunity to reiter­ate
a point made by Kim Vick in her
letter to the editor, published in last
week's Plainsman: if you do not care to
become involved in the solution to this
problem, you are indeed part of the
problem.

SGA speaks for minority
It has become quite apparent over the
past week that the Circle's future is not
very promising in regards to the zero-funding,
then the funding of $5,395 with
a 41.7 percent decrease from last year's
allocation and the imposing of new and
stricter guidelines. It is obvious that our
SGA in its Budget and Finance hearings
is determined to destroy the Circle.
The SGA claims to be fulfilling the
wishes of the majority of Auburn stu­dents.
This remains to be seen.
How can the SGA speak for the major­ity
of Auburn students when it has done
nothing in the way of polls or surveys to
find out how the students feel. The only
organization that has done anything to
shed some light onto the feelings of the
students is the Plainsman with its ran­dom
telephone survey which appeared
in last Thursday's edition.
Furthermore, there has been more
support at the B & F hearings in favor of
the Circle, along with the 20 editorials
and letters to the editor that I am aware
of supporting the Circle, compared to the
5 or 6 that I have read against the Circle.
If anything, this should provide the
SGA with some idea of how the majority
feels. However, if this is not enough
proof, maybe they should also take into
consideration the poll in the Plainsman
that showed 75% of the students out of
the 172 contacted did not favor the
SGA's action in connection with the Cir­cle's
funding.
As I stated earlier, it appears that the
SGA is determined to destroy the Circle,
and for what? What has the Circle done
that warrants such drastic measures in
the decrease of its funding and stricter
guidelines restricting content? This
appears to be a clearcut act of censorship
on the part of the SGA. It claims that the
Circle does not reach a majority of
Auburn students. I can hardly see on
what it bases that fact.
The works contributed to the Circle
are from students from over 40 different
curriculums,and they never have trouble
giving the magazines away. The Circle
was also recognized as the number one
student interest magazine in the South.
So how can the statement that the Circle
does not reach a majority of students be
true when the facts plainly state the
opposite?
Thirty percent of the Circle's content
is attributed to the reproduction of stu­dent
art works. If the Circle is changed
to tabloid form, the art reproductions
will most likely cease to be a part of the
Circle.
Secondly, the Circle is a student inter­est
MAGAZINE, as defined in the Tiger
Cub. A tabloid form is not! Therefore it
would cease to be a student interest
MAGAZINE!
It has also been stated that the Circle
is an extension of the English Depart­ment.
This I find highly ridiculous. Cer­tainly
the English Department plays an
important role in the Circle, for it prints
student literary work.
Literature has often been associated
with English. It is not any different than
the Journalism Department having
some bearing on the Plainsman or the
Speech Communications Department
being associated with WEGL or the Pol­itical
Science Department being asso­ciated
with the SGA.
Are the publications of the University
funded by student activity fees faced
with the possibility of censorship and
decrease of funs by the SGA if they print
material that the SGA doesn't approve
of? Remember, though, the SGA is act­ing
on the majority wishes of the stu­dents
that it has not made any contact
with. My advice to the SGA is to take the
$2,000- budgeted for phone polls and
truly find out how the majority of
Auburn students feel and then decide.

SGA mis allocates student funds
Editor, The Plainsman:
The recent questionable action by the
SGA Budget and Finance Committee to
zero-fund the Circle prompts this letter.
This action is a shocking manifesta­tion
of a more deeply rooted problem,
that of the process of (mis) allocating the
students' activity fees.
Presently, a few narrow-minded indi­viduals
make decisions without aware­ness
of the desires of the student body as
a whole and without fully considering
the ramifications of their actions.
The central error in the current system
of allocating student activity fees, how­ever,
is that there are nine student pro­jects
vying for funding, and the board
responsible for allocation is a part of one
of them, specifically, the SGA.
The other eight student projects suffer
from a marked disadvantage because
they do not have a member of their pro­ject
on the board, while the students
suffer because the average student has
almost no input and representation into
the actual monetary decisions.
The solution to this perverse situation
is the establishment of a board which
represents all the students of Auburn,
whose money is being spent; which
represents each of the nine student
activity projects; and which contains a
permanent contingent of administra­tors
and tenured faculty to add consis­tency
and the benefit of years of
experience.
This impartial board would not have
the power to zero-fund any project, since
set reasonable standard minimum per­centages
for each project would be estab­lished,
based on past funding.
The present system does not adhere to
its founded principles and does not do a
reasonable job of allocating funds, and
thuB needs to be completely restructured.
The zero-funding of the Circle vividly
illustrates this need.

Demo race opens up
More letters, A-6
With the New Hampshire primary
and the Iowa caucuses out of the way,
the Democratic party should have an
idea of who to pick as a presidential
candidate.
There are four possible choices for
president (and vice president) out of the
Gang of Eight whom the Democrats can
choose from: Mondale, Glenn, Jackson
and Hart.
Mondale has been the frontrunner
since announcing his campaign after
Carter lost to Reagan in 1980. But the
events in New Hampshire have muddied
his chances of winning the nomination.
Now, because Hart won the primary,
Mondale's old school of liberalism is
challanged by a new school to the right
of Mondale.
After finishing fifth in Iowa, many are
saying Glenn is through; however, the
Southern primaries in Florida, Georgia
and Alabama on Super Tuesday, March
13, could show a resurgence in his
popularity.
Mondale is too much of a labor man,
and Hart is relatively unknown and too
idealistic for Southerners.
Glenn, on the cither hand, is more con­servative
than Hart and Mondale (but
not as conservative as Hollings, who, for
all practical purposes is out of the run­ning)
and Glenn is an American hero
(one need only look at the Solid South's
support of Eisenhower in 1952 and
1956.)
But then there is Jackson. After unof­ficially
campaigning in the South all
summer in support of black voter regis­tration,
he is now prepared to do well in
this region. However, his most recent
faux-pas, referring to Jews as "Hymies"
and New York City as "Hymietown" is
going to have serious repercussions—
especially among white voters in South­ern
cities.
Jackson also admitted saying he was
"sick and tired of hearing about the
Holocaust," but he tried to justify the
remark by rationalizing it with the per­secution
suffered by blacks and other
minorities.
Perhaps Jackson would appear sin­cere
if he was more careful about who he
associates with.
Hugging Arafat and kissing up to
Hussein doesn't do much for gaining the
American Jewish Association's support,
but does wonders with the Arab League.
The head of a faction of Black Mus­lims
(a sect which believes that blacks
are God's chosen people, whites are dev-

ils and a separate black nation within
the United States is a necessity),Louis
Farrakhan, was also Jackson's body­guard,
providing him with security until
the Secret Service took over.
But Hart was the winner in New
Hampshire on Tuesday. Just what is his
platform? Billing himself as the younger
and "serious candidate" (he is 47), Hart
considers himself a pragmatic idealist.
Looking at his platform, one can say
Hart is an idealist but hardly a
pragmatist.
Hart believes that creative and optim­istic
approaches to the problems faced
by the country will undo the mistakes of
the past and lay down a foundation for a
better America.
In his platform, Hart calls for a
stronger governmental hand in the
economy, for the support of industrial
revitalization, the ratification of the
SALT II treaty, and an increase in
domestic energy production for achiev­ing
energy security. In other words, a
practical platform.
If the New Hampshire syndrome is
true, then Mondale will not win the pre­sidency,
although he probably will win
the Democratic nomination because of
all his political endorsements.
What will happen to Hart? The two-time
senator from Colorado could win
the party's vice presidential nomina­tion,
especially considering Jackson's
current predicament; however, although
completely unorganized, Glenn could
still pull out the v.p. nomination.
With the start of the primaries,, it
won't be long before the Democrats have
to choose.
It is just a shame Askew is out of the
running because he would probably do
well on many campuses across the
nation. In Iowa, his strategists went
after the forgotten majority, the frater­nity
and sorority vote at Iowa State.
Angel Flight acceptance not influenced by Greeks
Editor, The Plainsman:
This letter is in response to the letter
from "an upset Independent" (Feb. 23).
As a non-Greek member and officer of
Angel Flight, I felt compelled to
respond to the obvious misunderstand­ing
this Independent has experienced.
I would like to give a few statistics
about Angel Flight: The organization
consists of approximately 60 girls, V4 of
its officer positions held by Inde­pendents.
There are only eight officers in Angel
Flight: the highest is Commander (pres­ident),
held by Holly Harrison (an Inde­pendent),
the other three Independents
are the second in command (vice com­mander)
who also works as Rush
Chairman, Leslie Greene, our comp­troller
Melinda Mitchell and myself as
public affairs officer.
I won't deny that a large percent of our
organization is Greek, but that occurs
simply because of the encouragement of
Greeks to go out for such organizations.
We wish more Independents would
participate due to the amount of time
they have to give. As a service organiza­tion,
we need people who have a lot of
time and energy; being Independent
works for, not against, you.
Angel Flight is a service organization
that works for the community. Having
worked at Rush, I feel I should share a
very important fact with you. There is
' absolutely no way any active members
could influence who was selected,due to
several safeguards.
First of all, in the preliminary inter­views,
girls, and guys too, are not
allowed to interview anyone they know.
• Second, the interviewers have no idea
what sorority the girls are involved with
—all of this information is blocked out
with a magic marker to prevent bias.
Finally, during final interviews the
board consists of the Angel Flight com­mander,
rush chairman, (neither of
which has any Greek affiliation) the
commander of Arnold Air Society, our
faculty advisor, and the officer in charge
of AFROTC at Auburn. None of the men
on this board knew if any of the girls
were Greek or not.
So you see, being Independent is a dis­tinct
advantage. We look for girls who
are friendly and eager to work with us;
not just for girls who are Greek.
I would like to personally encourage
all Independents to go out for Angel
Flight. I know that I have truly been
blessed by the other members and the
many community activities that I have
participated in.

New pool would ultimately benefit students
Editor, The Plainsman:
Alec Harvey's column in favor of
building a new indoor 50-meter swim­ming
pool complex was really refreshing
to read. His suggestion of constructing a
pool for the swim team was noble, but
the people who would benefit the most
would be the students, faculty and the
people in the Auburn area.
The varsity teams would benefit in
recruiting, would have more major com­petitions,
would be able to host the SEC
Championships, and, most importantly,
would be able to reduce the hours
required to train the varsity swim teams.
A mm facility, though, would allow
for more groups and individuals to get
involved in aauatic activities, especially
Bince the present pool would remain
open for student recreation and physical
education classes.
Due to the increased amount of time
available, it could lead to the addition of
activities like intramural swim and
water polo leagues, acquatic exercise
classes, swimming instruction for child­ren
and adults and a Masters swim
team (competitive swimming for those
over 25).
I would also like to point out that the
$13-15 million price tage quoted by Mr.
Harvey for the complex, which would
include offices, dressing rooms and a
lobby, should actually be more the $3-5
million dollar range. There is also a
strong chance that the Athletic Depart­ment
and some private donors would
help finance the project and the day-to­day
upkeep.
Since the present facility is scheduled
solid from 6 a.m. through 10 p.m. every
day and the demand is increasing all the
time, a new pool would not only help the
swim team, but it would be of more
benefit to the students, faculty and the
people of the Auburn community. Let's
face it — a university the size of Auburn
needs a better swimming facility just to
fill its needs. It is time to change this
situation.

Academic dishonesty
much too prevalent
Academic honesty at Auburn seems
like a contradiction in terms to me in
light of information I received during
the past few days. An article on cheating
and the subsequent punishment
brought against students who happen to
be stupid enough to get caught brought
some glaring inadequacies to my atten­tion.
Our system for dealing' with stu­dents
caught cheating is not much more
severe than our treatment of students
who fail to pay parking tickets.
A student caught cheating is given an
"F" in that class by the teacher, and
may be assigned a notation on his
transcripts which says that he failed the
course for dishonesty. That notation
stays on the record for a stated period of
time "not less than two quarters" but
comes off the record automatically after
that.
Also, the teacher may recommend
that the student be put on probation or
be suspended. The key words here are
"may recommend." The teacher doesn't
have to do any of these things. The
teacher can, and I'm told they frequently
do, do nothing if they choose not to.
If the teacher does choose to do some­thing
about a student caught cheating,
he must notify the student, the head of
the department, the dean of the school
and the vice-president for academic
affairs of the accusation. Only if the stu­dent
appeals the case, or if the teacher
recommends additional punishment
besides a failing grade does the case
appear before the academic honesty
committee.
Punishment rests entirely in the
teacher's hands. This is the biggest flaw
I see in the system. The teacher should
be held responsible and accountable for
reporting any violation of the Univer­sity's
honest code. The case should then
be sent before the academic honest
committee, and the committee should
determine only all action to be taken.
The teacher should be responsible only
for reporting the incident and nothing
more.
As it stands now the committee, after
hearing the case, refers it to the office of
academic affairs, which holds final
authority over the committee's decision.
Most of the time the vice president
agrees with the committee's decision,
but it does allow one last way to dilute
the action taken. If the vice president for
academic affairs disagrees with the
committee, he can change the decision if
he wants to.
This is the second major flaw I see in
the system. The committee set up to deal
with violations of the "honesty code"
should hold ultimate and unalterable
authority on all matters of academic
dishonesty.
Furthermore, I think the academic
honesty committee should set new,
stringent guidelines for punishing vio­lators
of the student honesty code. The
punishments now levelled against even
repeat offenders are not harsh enough to
deter cheating.
Auburn should adopt a true academic
honesty code in which cheating is
clearly defined and the punishment for
violations is strict and irreversible. If we
want to get rid of the widespread prob­lems
of cheating, plagiarism and hiring
people to take courses for others, we
have to start taking cheating more
seriously than we take failing to pay
parking fines. As it is now, failure to pay
parking fines can result in keeping a
student from registering for classes,
which is not much less severe than the
punishment now given to cheaters,
be so concerned with Auburn's image. If
they really were concerned with
Auburn's image, they would revise the
student honesty code.
The incidents of cheating, according
to chairman of the academic honesty
committee Larry O'Toole, "represent the
most serious violations at a university
because they go against what a univer­sity
stands for."
Let's make the punishment suit the
crime. If academic honesty violations
are indeed the most serious that can
occur at a university, let's make the pun­ishments
the most serious as well. Right
now they are not.
Voters: do not void votes
Editor, The Plainsman:
As a candidate for delegate to the
August Republican National Conven­tion,
I am concerned that on March 13
some voters may void their votes.
In the Republican Primary, folks will
find me and nine other candidates listed
for our Third Congressional District
delegate and alternate delegates posi­tions
and 30 candidates for state-at-large
delegates and alternates.
I've been a Reagan fan since I knew
"Dutch" Reagan back in 1934- 36.1 was
Martin
our District's 1976 Reagan campaign
chairman, and opened and ran the
Anniston Reagan Headquarters; I
opened and ran the 1980 Jacksonville
Reagan/Denton Headquarters.
It is important to note that for the
Congressional District delegates one
must vote for three, no less, no more.
Similarly, for the State-at-large dele
gates one must vote for seven.
Then their votes will count.

AU eagle cage vandalized again
Editor, the Plainsman:
I want to take this opportunity to
inform the Auburn community of an
incident that occurred on Saturday, Feb.
25. For the second time this year, some­one
has broken into the cage housing
Auburn's mascot, War Eagle V.
Saturday night, someone cut his way
into the small eagle cage located next to
University Printing Service. The
Auburn University Police responded to
a call, and War Eagle V did not suffer
any injury as a result of the incident.
According to Chief Walton of the A.U.
Police, an investigation of the incident is
currently under way, and any offender
will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of
the law.
Although War Eagle V serves as
Auburn's mascot, he is not the property
of the University, he is under loan from
the United States Fish and Wildlife Ser­vice
and is the property of the United
States Government. Additionally, he is
under the protection of several federal
acts including, but not limited to, the
Lacey Act, the Bald Eagle Protection
Act, the Endangered Species Protection
Act of 1969, and the Migratory Bird
Treaty Act.
According to Special Agent Keith
McCartney of the USFWS, anyone con­victed
of injuring or killing a golden
eagle or any other raptor may receive a
maximum penalty of $5,000 and/or one
year imprisonment for the first offense
and $10,000 and/or two years impri­sonment
for the second offense.
The Bald Eagle Act contains a provi­sion
that allows half of the fine (up to
$2500) to be used for information leading
to the conviction.
Should such an incident as this occur
again, War Eagle V's stay on the
Auburn campus may be jeopardized,
and Auburn may cease to be one of only
two universities in the United States to
have a live golden. eagle as a mascot.
The lighting around the small cage is
poor, as is also the case at other loca­tions
on campus. We the students live on
this campus and must accept the conse­quences
of this poor lighting. There have
been attacks made on students over the
past few years.
The campus has a lighting plan, but
the plan has either not been fully
implemented or it does not cover all
areas on campus. The area between
Dorms 7, 8, 9 and 10 is in the dark and
there is sufficient area for someone to
hide in the shadows. I realize that the
campus is a large area, so I feel that it is
time for the students to become con­cerned
about conditions and to become
aware of what is occuring on campus.
For the safety of all concerned, please
report any suspicious activities to the'
Auburn University Police. Auburn is too
great a place to allow this to stain its
name.

Fire could have been more costly
Editor, the Plainsman:
Being a hall representative of Alumni
Hall, I feel compelled to write this letter.
Since the beginning of the winter
quarter the fire alarm system in the
dorm has been out of commission. All
the proper authorities have been
contacted, but no one seems to know
when the system will be repaired.
Last week a trash can in the dorm
caught fire at 3:30 a.m. Luckily, one of
the residents was able to extinguish the
fire after coming in from a late night
study session. The rest of the dorm
residents were asleep and didn't know
about it until the next day.
If the fire was given the chance to
spread, the only system to warn the
residents would have pounding op doors
and yelling, "Fire!" I just thank God it
didn't come to that.
All of that has passed now. I wonder
how many more months or how many
more accidents it will take before the fire
alarm system will be fixed. Will the
accident have to involve injury and a
lawsuit? It seems to me the University's
housing office listens when money is
involved.

from both sides of the issue and
this situation is not different
from what goes on with state and
university budgets.
"The SGA has a limited
amount of funds to work with,"
said Martin, "and sometimes dif­ficult
decisions like this must be
made." He added this has been a
healthy, educational experience
for the students.
Martin agreed with students
that parking on campus was def­initely
a problem, and that it had
been a problem at every univer­sity
he had been associated with.
"It's a financial problem. We are
trying to find a way to solve the
problem without spending stu­dent
money, but that is going to
be difficult," Martin said.
He did offer an alternative to
new parking spaces—a bus sys­tem.
According to Martin, the
University of Arkansas had
buses which ran on campus and
out to major housing areas and
the mall. "It worked really well,"
said Martin, "and it cut down on
traffic on campus."
Martin answered a question
about increased library hours
saying it was also a financial
problem, because money was
needed for staff and for electricity
expenses. He added that he had
been "very pleased with the
amount of use the library gets.
I'm delighted to see the students
want more out of it."
When questioned about the
academic level of Auburn, Martin
said he was impressed. "The
average ACT score of Auburn
students is 22.6-22.8. This is
above the national average of
19.2.1 think this puts Auburn a
step or two above other institu­tions.
I also feel the faculty here is
interested in offering nothing but
a top quality education."
One student commented that
there seems to be an undercurrent
of bad feelings toward the SGA,
and wondered if Martin thought
a school could function without
one. Martin said the administra­tion
needed somewhere to go to
continued from A-l
get student input and to find out
what students were thinking.
He added that many people feel
the SGA is not representative of
the whole student body. He said
this may be true because only 20-
25 percent of the students vote in'
campus elections, and this could
be solved with better voter
turnout.
tion about changing from the
quarter system to a semester sys­tem.
Martin replied he had been a
student and teacher under both
systems, and that this was worth
considering. "As a teacher, I
prefer the semester, because a lot
of time is wasted in a quarter sys­tem.
As a student, though, I pre­ferred
the quarter. If you get off to
a bad start, it would be over
soon."
When asked about raising stu­dent
activity fees, Martin said
right now the Board of Trustees is
doing everything possible to keep
tuition as low as possible. He said
he feels that before raising the
fees, we need to look at the whole
picture of how much students are
already paying and at what the
fees would pav for.
t
Martin was asked why he came
back to Auburn, and he replied, "I
got the general impression at the
search and screening committee
meeting that the students,
faculty, and alumni really want
to see Auburn University move
on and improve education,
research and public service. Also,
I am a native Alabamian and
this is my alma mater. Not many
people get to be president at their
alma mater."
Martin was asked if in the!
future, Auburn would emphasize
agriculture and engineering or
the liberal arts. Martin replied
that one can't be emphasized
without emphasizing the other.
"Two out of the four years of.
your college career is spent in an
arts and sciences program. It is
here that you get the basics
before entering agriculture or

Martin.

Academic violations serious

Putting a cheat sheet on a calculator is just one way of cheating on tests.
By Mary Ellen Hughes
Assistant Research Editor
"Violations of the student aca­demic
honesty code represent the
most serious violations at a uni­versity
because they go against
what the university stands for,"
said Larry O'Toole, political
science professor and chairman
of the University Academic
Honesty Committee.
Academic dishonesty is a
serious problem on the Auburn
campus, said O'Toole, and the
administration's way of han­dling
dishonest students may
change soon, since a committee
was formed this year to make
recommendations as to how the
University could better deal with
the problem of cheating.
Presently, Auburn rests at the
less severe end of punishment
scales for cheating, since the
worst sanction a violator can

expulsion. O'Toole said one of hte
major problems at Auburn is the
students' ignorance of what con­stitutes
a violation of the aca­demic

Teachers discuss 'rampant*cheating
By Beth Hughes
Assistant News Editor
"Cheating is rampant on this
campus. It's a real problem
among Auburn students," says
Dr. William Perry, associate pro­fessor
of chemisty.
Perry, along with most other
teachers at Auburn, feels that
academic dishonesty is a very
serious problem, but also says it is
often impossible to prevent
Perry teaches a chemisty lec­ture
each quarter in Haley Center
2370, an auditorium-classroom,
where he may have anywhere
from 200 to 250 students. He says
that it is very difficult to keep
cheating from occuring in auch a
large class, but he does take sev­eral
measures to prevent it.
"Probably the most common:
land of cheating is simply glanc­ing
at another student's paper,"
says Perry. He discourages this
by giving out alternate exams, so
the students sitting beside each
other will not have the same test.
He also has people walk up and
down the rows during the test to
watch for signs of cheating.
Perry adds that if he discovers
a student cheating, and if the
evidence shows without a doubt
that cheating has occurred, he
will take the case to the Univer­sity
Academic Honesty Commit­tee.
"If there is any doubt in my
mind, though, I do nothing. I
would rather make a mistake in a
student's favor than create a
serious problem."
Other teachers treat dis­honesty
in different ways. Julia
Murphy from the math depart­ment
says she has never had a
real problem with cheating. She
adds that she usually only has
about 30 people in her classes,
and it is easy to tell when some­one
is cheating.
"I try to handle it by myself,"
says Murphy. She says if she
thinks someone is cheating on a
test, she will discourage it by
standing by that student and
keeping a close watch on his
actions. "Only once have I had to
give a zero on a paper for cheat­ing,"
she adds.
Dr. Joseph Kicklighter, asso­ciate
professor of history, says
"We do the best we can to stop
cheating." Like Perry, Kickligh­ter
teaches in an auditorium.
"During an exam, I have two
graduate students walk around
the room and help me patrol. I
hope our physical presence and
the constant fear of being caught
will scare the students. I also
make warnings before the test
about what will happen if they
are caught."
Kicklighter says he usually
handles a dishonesty case him­self.
"I decide what I want to do,"
he says. "Of course the student
can appeal to the academic
honesty board if he thinks he has
a case. But I would never accuse
anyone without clear evidence."
Dr. H.M. Solomon, chairman of
freshman English, says that
there is a tremendous amount of
cheating at Auburn, especially in
paper writing. He adds that it is
virtually impossible to monitor
what a student writes outside of
class.
"We have a policy that states a
final grade will be no higher than
the averaged grade of supervised
writing in classr' He adds that if
there is a disparity in grades
between outside work and in-class
writing, the student can
forget the writing done outside of
class because it will not be used in
determining the final grade.
"We emphasize to the students
to do their own work," adds
Solomon. "If we do find clear evi­dence
of academic dishonesty, we
will take it to the board."
The teachers interviewed said
they had seen all kinds of inven­tive
ways to cheat. They all
agreed that glancing over some­one's
shoulder at another paper
was the most common form.
One popular method especially
used in math and chemisty
classes is writing formulas on
calculators. "Cheat sheets" are
also used quite often in almost all
classes. All teachers add that it is
impossible to catch all the people
who cheat, but they all make
great efforts to prevent it in their
classrooms.
"I've seen everything," says
Kicklighter. "People write on
sun-visors or use their toes to turn
pages (of books placed on the
floor). It would be a lot easier to
just study for the test than to go
through some of the physical tor­ture
these students do."
Most teachers agreed that stu­dents
do not seem to realize what
they are doing when they cheat,
and they think that some stu­dents
do not even feel that it is
wrong. Perry adds, "Students
have to realize if they get caught,
serious actions can be taken
against them."
tion; submission of work done by
someone else but presented as
one's own, such as compositions,
drawings, or notes; plagiarism,
and taking an exam for another
student.
O'Toole, who has served on the
committee for two years, said he
knows of cases in which students
go into rooms and write notes on
the tables before a lab test, write
unauthroized outlines in the back
of blue books for in-class compo­sitions
and hide notes through­out
their clothing.
However, he said that most
cases involve students who have
admitted they have cheated and
vow never to do it again. In addi­tion,
many students say they
didn't realize the seriousness of
their actions.
A student accused of violating
the academic honesty code is
assigned an "F" for the course.
The teacher may also recommend
that a notation of "assigned for
dishonesty" accompany the
grace or that there be an addi­tional
penalty of probation or
suspension. The student must be
notified of the accusation, along
with the instructor's department
head and dean and the vice pres­ident
for academic affairs.
The student may appeal within
five academic days. Any cases
involving an appeal or recom­mendations
for probation, sus­pension,
or the "assigned for dis­honesty"
notation require a
hearing before the Academic
Honesty Committee. Also, writ­ten
statements must be submit­ted
by both the student and the
instructor. The only other type of
case that appears before the
committee is that of repeat
violators.
The committee consists of four
faculty members, one serving as
chairman, recommended by the
University Senate and approved
by the president, and three
seniors recommended by the
SGA and with presidential
approval.
O'Toole said that the commit­tee
meets often and that some
cases may require as much as 20
hours of deliberation. He said
their role is to come to a decision
about cases brought before them
and not to actively seek viola­tions.
The committee then reports
its decision to the office of aca­demic
affairs, which holds final
authority over the case.
The vice president of academic
affairs, in most instances, agrees
with the findings of the commit­tee.
Since the student usually has
already admitted that he
cheated, the committee's concern
is more with the severity of pun­ishment
than with whether the
student is guilty.
O'Toole commented that it's a
shame he and his com mi tee have
to spend so much time with cases,
but that dishonesty at Auburn
doesn't consist of a few isolated
circumstances. Rather, academic
dishonesty is widespread and
covers all curricula on campus.
The number of cases brought
before the Academic Honesty
Committee isn't representative of
the problem, since the committee
doesn't hear any cases that
involve assigning only an "F"
and not further penalties or
appeals. Also, instructors some­times
refrain from reporting a
dishonest student or the student
might not get caught. Thus, a
majority of students may be hon­est,
O'Toole said, but the dishon­est
ones are more of a problem
than anyone can estimate.
Some instructors have already
begun to fight the problem in
their own way by including
detailed explanations of the
seriousness and definition of
honesty code violations with
their course outlines. O'Toole
said one other solution to inform­ing
students might be to require
transfers and freshmen to attend
a seminar explaining the aca­demic
honesty code and penalties
for violations. Ultimately, the
only other solution involves a
revision of the code and more
severe penalties.

The University's administra­tion
and faculty feel one way
about violations of the academic
honesty code, but many students
feel another way. In talking to
several students about cheating
on tests, turning in papers for
other people and presenting pap­ers
done by other people as their
own, students express attitudes
that are inconsistent with the
University policy.
Cheating on tests appears in
many classes and in many forms,
according to students asked
about their feelings on the sub­ject.
One student said she made a
cheat sheet before the class in
which she had a test, and placed
it under her test paper. She said
she wrote dark enough so she
could see the answers (which
happened to be chemical formu­las)
through the test sheet. That
way the instructor or any other
student who might happen to
look couldn't see she had a cheat
sheet.
The same student also said she
had written English papers for
her roommate. "I didn't feel
guilty," she added, "because I felt
that she was the one cheating,
not me."
Writing other people's papers
comes up frequently in talking
about academic violations.
Another student said she wrote
all her roommate's freshman
compositions for $15 apiece and
the final for $20.
"I took the same class at the
same time from a different
teacher," the girl said, "I wrote
four of five papers and a final."
The papers, she said, were the
compositions that were supposed
to be done in class. She said she
wrote them for the roommate,
who merely rewrote them once
she got to class.
"I know it was illegal, but I
needed the money," she said. "I
regret doing it now because I'm
afraid she missed out on some­thing
that could have been
important to her later. I guess it
really didn't matter because she
flunked out of school anyway."
Other methods of cheating
were mentioned in discussions
with students. One student said
he leafed through his textbook
with his feet while he took the
test. If the teacher walked
through the classroom making
sure no one was cheating, he
closed his book or shoved it under
the desk in front of him.
Another student said that he
wrote the answers to a chemistry
test on his pockets under his
shorts. During the test he rolled
up the cuffs of his shorts and
copied the answers onto the test.
Still another example of using
someone else's work to make
writing a paper easier was
reported by a sophomore girl. She
said her roommate had written a
paper for a class that she was
now taking, and her roommate
offered her paper as a guideline.
The sophomore took the paper
with the intention of using the
girl's sources and rewriting the
paper.
dent pointed out, that has its dis­advantages
too.
"I copied my neighbor's
answer sheet, but it didn't pay off
because I got one space off on the
scan sheet and that threw all the
answers off. In some ways I feel
bad because you screw them out
of a good grade when everyone
else busts their butts studying,"
he said.
Some students go to great
lengths to do better on tests by
I know it was illegal, but I
needed the money. I regret it now
because I'm afraid she missed out
on something that could have been
important to her later.

However, this is still an exam-pfe
of a violation of the student
academic honesty code. The girl
said she didn't feel bad about it
because she felt the paper was
just "busy work," and she had
other classwork to do which she
felt was more important.
•'I felt I was rewriting someone
else's work just as I would with a
book used as a source."
Copying someone else's
answers from a test paper is, of
course, still the most common
way of cheating. But as one stu-thinking
up clever, though ille­gal,
ways to cheat. One student
wrote the answers on her legs on
the day of the test, and put on a
pair of jeans with holes at the
knees. The answers were covered
until the girl sat down. When she
sat down the answers were
clearly visible through the holes.
There are many other reports of
clever ways to cheat on tests, but
the fact remains that the whole
process is illegal and in violation
of the University Academic
Honesty Code as spelled out in
the Tiger Cub.

News wire informs students
By Lynne Haynes
News Staff
The Electronic News Wire,
which was installed in the Haley
Center lounge in mid-January, is
a free service of the Electronic
News Network (ENN) for as long
as the University wants to use it,
said Sherrie Carlson, adminis­trative
secretary.
This ENN service was ex­tended
to colleges and universi­ties
across the nation, and it
broadcasts campus, local, state
and national news 24 hours a
day, Carlson said.
Anyone on campus may take
advantage of the service by sub­mitting
his or her written
announcement two weeks in
advance to Sherrie Carlson, 228
Foy Union.
Announcements will be sent by
computer to the ENN headquar­ters
in Dallas, which will broad­cast
it over the Auburn wire,
Carlson said.

Women's History Week
By Karen Logan
News Staff
Acting as a liaison between
Auburn University and high
schools and junior colleges
throughout the state, the High
School Relations division of the
Auburn admissions office is
responsible for recruiting pros­pective
Auburn students, said
Bucky Wesley, associate director
of admissions of High School
Relations.
The recruiting process of high
school and junior college stu­dents
can be conducted in three
ways, according to Wesley.
One method of recruiting is an
actual visit to the high school or
junior college to participate in a
program of college day activities.
Through such activities, the
prospective student is exposed to
a slice of college life.
Secondly, Wesley stated,
recruiting may be conducted
through direct mailings to stu­dents
who have sent their scores
on college ability tests, ACT or
SAT, to the University, or to
those students whose names are
purchased by the University
To mark Women's History
Week, March 4-1.0, and as a public
service, the Auburn University
Women's Caucus is sponsoring
several activities for the Auburn
community.
A 25-minute documentary
movie narrated by Julie Harris
and entitled "A Woman's Place:
Remarkable American Women"
will be shown at the Foy Union
building on March 6-8, said Sher-ida
Downer, caucus coordinator.
During the week, there will be a
display in the Foy Union build­ing
highlighting women in
Alabama.
The Ralph Brown Draughon
Library will display materials
available in the library relating
to women's issues. The movie and
displays are open to the public.
Throughout the week WEGL
will broadcast short presenta­tions
about famous women and
women's issues.
The Auburn Women's' Caucus
is open to faculty, staff and stu­dents
of Auburn University, as
well as interested citizens in the
Auburn and Opelika area.

from the college board agencies.
A third method of recruiting is
inviting visitors to the Auburn
campus. "An actual visit to the
campus affects people the most,"
Wesley stated. "It is a very effec­tive
recruiting tool."
Effective as of last December,
Auburn employed a different
procedure in the recruiting pro­cess.
Called "The Search," this
procedure involves direct mail­ings
to students who didn't have
their college board scores sent to
Auburn. Perimeters were set as
far as test score and grade
requirements were concerned,
says Wesley. The distinction

Philosophy of seffdefense
By Darrel Roberto
Feature* Staff
Just as nuclear weapons ca­pable
of destroying mankind
are ironically used to preserve
world peace, tae kwon do karate,
which teaches one to kill with a
single blow, has a basic philo­sophy
of using violence only as a
last resort.
Bob Shuman, a first-degree
black belt instructor of Han's
Karate Academy, said tae kwon
do teaches people the art of how
not to fight by controlling their
situations, themselves and their
opponents. "It's the philosophy
of using as little force as possible
to handle the situation. You don't
have to take 'em out and wash
'em out," he said.
Shuman said a person controls
his environment by not having to
use it. He compared this to a per­son
walking down the street.
Most .people will walk right
alongside a building leaving
themselves vulnerable to some­one
grabbing them from a door­way,
he said.
"People should think about
this as a means of self-defense by
walking the curb. This way they
have to come out and get you, and
in that split second you can run
away. I see girls every night
walking along the side of a build­ing,
and we probably have about
10 feet of sidewalk in downtown
Auburn," he said.
Shuman, a 1974 accounting-finance
graduate of Auburn,
started into martial arts about 12
years ago through a University
karate course. Like most people,
he said he initially got involved
in it to defend himself, but later
became more interested in the
philosophy of it. "After I got
involved in martial arts my
grades started going right up.
The concentration and confi-
Tae kwon do teaches violence as last resort
dence I gained from it spilled over
into my everyday life."
There are hundreds of different
styles of karate and martial arts
in America today, but they all fall
into two basic styles, a hard and
soft style. Tae kwon do is basi­cally
a hard style consisting of
straight, forceful, linear move­ments.
Kung Fu, a soft style, con­sists
of more fluid movements
that takes the power coming and
blocking it softly, where in tae
kwon do it is met head on, block­ing
power with power.
"There's good and bad in both
of them," Shuman said, "because
there are times, especially in a
self-defense situation, where you
just want to deflect him. You
don't want to kick and punch
him, because you might end up in
court"
The hard style can be taught
with full or no contact. Shuman
tries to reach a happy medium
between the two, believing full
contact causes too many injuries,
and no contact leaves a person
unprepared when called upon to
use it in a real life situation. "I
don't believe in my students get­ting
broken bones or bruised ribs,
but you've got to get used to
someone hitting you. If you
didn't, you may go into a street
situation, get hit and go into
shock. Here you deal with with
contact every Tuesday and
Thursday night to prepare your­self
for it," he said.
Shuman, who works for Diver­sified
Products in Opelika,
teaches every Tuesday and
Thursday evening from 7 to 9 at
the Auburn recreation center.
The classes are available to
anyone from ages five to 60. The
two, one-hour classes, sponsored
by the Auburn parks and recrea­tion
department, consists of fam­ilies,
college students and others.
Students are required to bow
when entering or leaving the
classroom, a gesture called the do
jang. They must also bow to the
head instructor (sabumnin), and
to other instructors present called
chogunin.
Half the class time is devoted to
loosening and conditioning the
body. Sit-ups and push-ups are
done with counting in Korean.
The sabumnin may check on
one's stomach muscles during
this period by stepping on their
stomach; fully on some, very
gently on others.
The remainder of the class time
is devoted to the practicing of
forms. Each of the seven belt
rankings requires the learning of
a new form. Forms train the mus­cle
reflexes for speed, balance,
power and smoothness of execu­tion.
A form may be practiced as
much as 300 times before the stu­dent
is ready to be tested on it.
While practicing forms, a student
is supposed to imaaine fighting
opponents around him. _<__
The goal of most students is to
eventually become a black belt,
but Shuman said most people are
too impatient when they first
begin. "The average person
wants deadly hands in five days.
That's the American people.
They're not patient like the
Orientals."
Shuman said most people are
physically capable of reaching a
black belt in three to four years,
but it would be unusual if five out
of a class of 100 people would
make it that far. "A person has to
sacrifice his body, mind and
spirit to be able to handle the
physical and mental require­ments,"
he said.
One item he said many people
don't consider is money. A person
Broun
may spend as much as $2,000 for
lessons and costs of taking tests
before reaching a black belt. But
for those few who see it through,
Shuman said the rewards are
worth it.
For many women, karate can
provide a double function. "I've
had a lot of girls in here that have
taken aerobics that are getting
into this because it has got the
physical fitness like aerobics,
plus it can teach them something
about self-defense."
Shuman said there was no
doubt in his mind that a woman
can protect herself from a male
attacker regardless of his size or
strength. "I've trained with a lot
of women black belts all over the
country that fight a lot harder
than men do. They're bad news
when you free-spar with them;
they'll knock you all over the
room. I think when they're prop­erly
trained they have a much
deadlier killer instinct than the
men."
To successfully ward off a
defender, a woman, or anyone
else, has to have the right mental
attitude and believe she can han­dle
the situation, he said. "It's
like shooting a pool shot on the
table. If you think you're gonna
miss that shot, then you probably
are. Or if you don't think you can
run those laps for Pat Dye, your
mind is going to take control of
your body and you're not going to
achieve it."
Some of the deadly weapons
used in martial arts were deve­loped
by Korean farmers who
were forbidden to have swords by
their lords, who outlawed all
weapons in the country. Farmers
learned to defend themselves
with farm utensils such as the
sai, a three-pronged type of pitch
fork used to spear watermelons.
This was used to fight against the
samurai sword.
The tonfa, which was used to
crank the handle to grind corn
with a stone wheel, is used by
many police officers in America
today. It is called a PR 24 and
resembles a normal police stick,
except for a short angle. Shuman
said one could easily take a per­son's
throat out with it, or just as
easily crush the skull.
Probably the most commonly
known and most deadly weapon
available is the numb chuck.
Shuman said the numb chuck is
capable of delivering 7*500
pounds of power at the point of
contact. It only takes 8.5 pounds
of power to break a bone.
IT'S RAINING EGGS! These children from
the First Baptist Child Development Center

the department.
To the right there is a seminar
room with an approximate
capacity of 50 and a laser lab
with a 24-foot air suspended table
to mount it on. This allows for
more accurate use and main­tenance.
On the second floor the curious
will discover a 300-seat auditor­ium
that can be divided in half by
a retractable wall. There is a
blackboard with a concealing
curtain and a mobile projection
screen for each of the two sides.
The side walls are accented with
wooden panels that complement
the butcher block type tables
across the room. The chairs will
be cushioned and comfortable.
Opposite the auditorium is the
main office. There will be
accommodations for two secre­taries
in the office. The office of.
the department head, his secre­tary
and a small personal confer­ence
room are located off of the
receptionist area.
Extending from the area is a
hall of offices that will hold 26
departmental staff.
Around the corner from the
opposite end of the receptionist
area, are the main, controlling
computer terminal and storage
area, a faculty conference room
and a faculty lounging area.
Also on the second floor,
toward the rear of the building, is
the repair area and slightly ele­vated
loading dock for transport­ing
and transferring equipment.
The AC power supply for the
machinery lab has already been
moved in.
There are a couple of class­rooms
and labs in the rear also.
The rooms are designed to hold
approximately 35 and 70. The
labs are equipped to install 16
stations of 5 - foot tables. This
will allow each student to have
an individual set-up.
Moving on to the third floor,
there is more of the same-classrooms
and labs.
The fourth floor is the only cus­tomized
part of the building
besides the humidity control fea­ture
in the digital systems rooms
on the first floor.
The microelectronic lab is on
the fourth floor. It requires a spe­cial
air filtering system. Upon
entering, one must obtain a lab
coat to maintain as clean a work-continued
from A-l
ing environment as humanly
possible. Included in the lab area
are furnaces, vacuum systems
and darkroom facilities.
Above and beyond the esti­mated
98,000 gross square feet of
the building, there are three set­ups
for antenna and various
wave frequency testing on the
roof and a cooled storage area
below the auditorium for equip­ment
not in use.
On every floor provisions are
made for the handicapped. These
include the entrance ramp,
engraved door plates indicating
the number and sometimes the
function of a room, the height of
the door plates, textured door
handles on doors to stairs and
other areas demanding caution,
an elevator and bathroom
facilities.
In discussing the overall
impact of the approximately $6
million building, Weaver said, "It
will provide modern classrooms,
modern laboratories. It is well
designed. It's an attractive place
to learn in."
"It will permit us to be able to
better utilize our equipment and
research facilities," Lowry said.

Rugby alive, kicking at AU
By Emily Bentley
Features Staff
American football evolved
from it. It's a finesse game with
the opportunity for contact. It is
the ultimate team sport with 15
men per team. It's rugby, and it's
alive at Auburn University.
"We're a better team now than
we've ever been," said club Presi­dent
Jamie Hartford. Rugby
comes in the form of a fast team-oriented
game—one that requires
plenty of cardiovascular en­durance.
The Rugby Club is one of 200
sports clubs on campus that are
generally self-supporting. The
club has approximately 35
members who pay many of their
own expenses, including travel
costs.
The Auburn Ruggers are
number three in their division of
the Eastern Rugby Union. They
form a team that could capture
the Division Four title at the
playoffs April 14 in Tallahassee.
If they do, they will play in Phi­ladelphia
in the Eastern Rugby
Union championship April 28.
Tim McNally, who coaches the
team on Saturdays when he
drives from Atlanta before
games, said, "The reason I drive
all this way is because the first
time I saw the team I was
impressed with the kind of guy
that plays on the Auburn rugby
team." McNally played 17 years
for the Chicago Lions Rugby
Football team, and now he helps
Spring to be dedicated to handicapped
By Wendy Price
News Staff
What was originally planned
as one week of events for han­dicapped
students and the Reha­bilitation
Club has turned into an
entire quarter of special events
and activities for the group.
Kicking off the events for
spring quarter will be a show
given by The National Theatre of
the Deaf on Sunday, March 4 at
Foy Union. Clarence Brown,
faculty advisor for the Rehabili­tation
Club, said club members
have also planned activities such
as a scavenger hunt, puppet
shows, films and a tentative date
for a wheelchair basketball
game.
Brown explained that the sca­venger
hunt would begin on the
concourse and would involve
able-bodied volunteers to become
wheelchair-bound. Then they
would be instructed to locate and
retrieve a certain object from a
familiar location on campus such
as the library or cafeteria.
In addition to the scavenger
hunt, films will be shown daily in
the lobby of Foy Union, and
information tables will be located
on the Haley Center concourse.
Brown emphasized that "activ­ities
and events are being
planned in such a way that most,
if not all, of the students here on
campus will become more aware
of the architectural as well as
psychological barriers which the
handicap are faced with on a day
to day basis."
Brown noted, "hopefully,
through the activities planned,
everyone will begin to realize the
talents and abilities, and not so
much the disabilities, of the hand­icapped
student."
the Auburn team with skills and
techniques.
Rugby, developed at Rugby
College in England, was a spin­off
of soccer over 200 years ago
and players still participate in
traditions of the game. At the end
of the second half, everyone gives
three cheers for the winning
team, three cheers for the referee
and three cheers for the losing
team. The losers applaud the
winners off the field. Then comes
the third half.
After the game the host team
has a party for the visiting team.
Kurt Bottjer, faculty advisor for
the club, describes the parties as
means of meeting after having
spent every muscle against each
other for the last hour and a half.
"You leave your competition,
anger and frustration on the
playing field and get to know the
other guys," Bottjer said.
Last fall the Auburn team
hosted the Southeastern Confer­ence
tournament in which it took
third place, holding the games on
one of the new intramural fields.
McNally said he would like to see
the team get permission to play
all of its games on the intra-murals
field and use the field it
plays on now (across from the
Tau Kappa Epsilon house) for
practice only.

First National believes that students like you
have unlimited potential. But even more than that,
we believe in you right now. That's why we want
you to know about the special relaxed require­ments
that enable college students to get a
MasterCard.
. This is the easiest, fastest, and most certain way
for students to get a MasterCard. And we prove it
- by protecting you with an Unconditional Money-back
Quarantee. The MasterCard that you can
receive is the same one that is honored by 3
million merchants worldwide - and you'll have a
credit line of at least $300.
ENJOY THE CONVENIENCE,
SECURITY, AND PRESTIGE OF A
MASTERCARD.
But why do you need a MasterCard now? Here
are just a few of the reasons why:
ESTABLISH YOUR CREDIT HISTORY.
The special relaxed requirements make this the
easiest, fastest, and most certain way for you to
establish your credit history. In addition, a
MasterCard is the perfect credit reference to get
credit with merchants and department stores for
T.V.'s, furniture, clothes, sporting goods, major
appliances, and auto loans. So you are now able
to build an excellent credit rating starting from
scratch.
SHOPPING AND TRAVEL CONVEN­IENCE.
With a MasterCard, you have charge
privileges at more than 3 million places around
the world. So you can travel, dine, or shop for
things like a new stereo without carrying cash or
having to worry about getting your check cashed
where they don't know you. Or you can order
mail-order gifts... reserve a hotel or motel room
. . . send flowers . . . even reserve tickets to
concerts, sporting events, and shows of all types.
HELP IN AN EMERGENCY. Charge gas,
car repairs, and servicing... at home or while
traveling. For medical bills, MasterCard is
accepted by physicians, dentists, optometrists,
hospitals, pharmacies and veterinarians.
CHECJfrCASHING CONVENIENCE. A
MasterCard is the perfect I.D. to help you get
your check cashed where they don't know you.
Or get a Cash Advance at more than 100,000
Banking Institutions around the world.
CHOOSE YOUR OWN PAYMENT PLAN.
You can pay the full amount of your bill at the
end of the month, or if you prefer, you can extend
your payments over 36 months on a revolving
charge plan. Either way, you have the flexibility
that only a credit card can offer.

This is but a sample of what is available to you
when you carry a MasterCard. There is much,
much more, and it's completely described in our
Credit Card Service Guide you will receive - and
