Approval given to math split By Sandra Ingram Staff Writer In a decision by the office of Academic Affairs, the math department will be split into two separate departments effective after approval by the Board of Trustees. According to some members of the math faculty, the split is a result of feuding among the faculty within the department. I The feuding stemmed from differences of opinions about teach- 1 ing methods. Candidates attract votes through media By Debbie Long Research Editor Political campaigning has become impersonal and voters do not know the candidates as well as they did before television turned politics into a technical advertising arena, said an expert on politics and the media. Margaret Latimer, associate professor of political science, said the days of hand shaking and campaign speeches on courthouse steps are fading away as more candidates rely heavily on the mass media to help them reach the people and get the votes. Gubernatorial and state senate candidates in Alabama spend as much as 60 percent of their total reported expenditures on media advertising, Latimer said. "The mass media is the easiest way to reach multitudes of people. I think the logic says to go Latimer mass media, and that's what has happened," she said. But Latimer is primarily interested in the contents of political ads and whether they are actually saying anything worthwhile about the candidates or informing the voters. Her current research is a continuation of a study she conducted four years ago on political advertising in Alabama. Overall, advertising leans heavily on projecting a positive image for the candidate. "Standard procedure" is to portray the candidate as family oriented and impeccably honest, as opposed to delving into the issues and proving his or her qualifications, Latimer said. Races, such as for lieutenant governor, seldom involve more depth than a face on the television screen or a name on a bill board, she said. A candidate can be elected without voters knowing what the office entails or whether the candidate has the ability to do the job. "When they advertise, they don't say anything," Latimer said. With image advertising, the issue becomes a matter of how personally attractive the candidate is, which may be irrelevent to his competency. "Some of the people in the lesser election will be chosen for their looks," she said. Political critics have complained about what has been called "media packaging"— making a candidate into somet h i n g he is not through advertising—but Latimer said she disagrees. See LATIMER, A-9 Dr. William Brandt, vice-president of academic affairs, made the decision for the split because "the situation has gone over a period of years," and the department needed the division to grow and enhance to get more workability. The math department will be primarily split into two sets of teaching methods. One method will be an analysis of set theory and topology while the other method will be algebraic analysis and combinatorics. These approaches are used now. In selecting a class, a student "right now doesn't know which way it (the teaching method) will be taught. This way it will be identified," said Brandt. The decision, which is pending a vote by the Board of Trustees, will probably be effective this fall quarter, according to Brandt. The current math department will gradually phase into the two separate factions. One of the departments will remain in Parker Hall and the other "will probably be in the old ROTC building," said Phillip Zenor, a professor in the math department. A faculty vote of 17-34 against the split was held earlier this year, but the decision for the separation was still made. Zenor, who opposed the split, said he "was totally surprised when I heard of the decision." Brandt felt the decision was made in the best interest of the students because he and a recommendations committee "are looking at different ways of handling courses that will provide for better handling of grad- See MATH, A -9 By Kim Best News Editor Students in mechanical engineering are beginning to question the University's efforts to insure full accreditation in the program this fall. The department has not been accredited for a full six-year term since 1975, when the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET) granted the accreditation, according to Larry Lee, an Auburn alumnus and member of the regional operating board of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). "We have heard various rumors about the department losing its accreditation, and we want to know what's being done and how we can help," said Chuck Reid, a junior in mechanical engineering. "As students we're concerned about the respect our degree will have when we get out of school," Reid added. In 1980, ABET granted the department a three-year show cause accreditation, said Lee. ABET presented the department with a list of areas that needed to be corrected if accreditation was to be maintained, he added. According to Lee, a visiting team from ABET returned in 1983 and found the department in worse condition than before and recommended that accreditation be pulled. However, ABET over ruled the recommendation and the department was reaccredited for another three year period, he added. Peter Smith, associate accreditation director of ABET, said the information concerning past accreditation decisions was not available. "Three years ago the department was given a three-year clean accreditation. Several improvements have been made since that time," said Dr. Malcolm Crocker, head of the mechanical engineering department. Improvements cited by Crocker included the creation of three new undergraduate labs and the hiring of five new faculty members in the last 12 months. A major renovation of Ross Hall is expected to begin soon at a cost of almost $1 million, Crocker added. Space allotments for the department have increased about 50 percent since the ABET team was last here, and several changes have been made in the curriculum in the past two years, according to Crocker. "Emphasis in the ME department has been transferred from teaching ability to research ability," said Lee in a speech to the Auburn chapter of ASME last Tuesday. The old cliche describing professorship is no longer "publish or perish" but rather "bring in the funds or perish," Lee said. A visiting team is scheduled for See ACCREDIT, A-9 Grads vote to withdraw from SGA By Kim Best News Editor The general consensus of graduate students on campus is to withdraw from the Student Government Association, according to results of a recent poll. The poll was created by the Graduate School and the Office of Student Affairs and sent to approximately 1700 graduate students. The purpose of the poll was to get an objective view of what graduate students want concerning representation on campus, according to senators from the Graduate Student Association (GSA). Only 258 people, 15 percent of the students polled, responded, according to figures released by the Graduate School. Of the 258 responses, 91 percent said they favored pulling out of the SGA, six percent favored remaining in the SGA, and three percent expressed no opinion at all. "I'm disappointed that more grad students didn't express any opinion at all," said Grant Davis, vice president of student affairs. Citing different needs from undergraduate students and little or no representation on University committees, the GSA voted last January to withdraw from the SGA. There are no set procedures for the GSA to follow in pulling out of the SGA, since the Code of Laws of the SGA constitution does not address the issue, Davis said. "I think the poll is something that will have to be evaluated when looking at the overall picture," Davis said. The request to withdraw from the SGA is presently being considered by the President's Office. In a letter to the GSA, President Martin said that, "The results of that survey, coupled with other appropriate data, including legal counsel, will be used to assist the University Administration in recommending a plan for the governance of the Graduate School." Bowling for fun Sport provides entertainment twist By Lisa Milberger Staff Writer People searching for new ways to fight the weekend blahs have found an alternative at the Bowl- O-Matic alley in Auburn. The inside of the plain building on Opelika Highway comes alive as bursts of thundering booms bolster through a long room filled with people dressed in odd, multicolored shoes. White ceiling fans turn at a snail's pace. A sea of green carpet stops at the cold wooden floor where players put their skills to work. Many of them, bored with the same Saturday night routine of dinner and a movie, have changed their entertainment schedule to bowling for excitement. Dave Bisaro, wearing casual jeans and smoking a cigarette, did not start bowling until two years ago when he moved to Auburn. His discovery of Bowl-O-Matic helped to acquaint him with Auburn. "Bowling is a a night out for my wife and for myself. It's different, and you meet people," Bisaro said. Bryant Long, in shorts and a buttondown oxford, agrees with Bisaro. "Bowling is a different place to go instead of a club to have fun and drink beer with your fraternity brothers," he said. Playing on the non-computerized alleys brings a feeling of living in the 1950s when the sport was at its peak. Plenty of bowling balls are provided, ranging in colors from basic black to bright tie-dyed looking splashes of red and black. Bowling is not the only attraction. An assortment of video games, "Pac Man?' "1942" and "Pirdie King II," buzz and sing to teenagers with pockets full of quarters. Pool buffs cue their way around on pool tables lighted by fluorescent lights with beer logos. Food is served most of the time from a square white room with a grill and a slick counter. Liz Tan-kersley, part-time cook, says that hamburgers with everything are the customers' favorite. Hot dogs and spicy nachos are also available as well as draft beer. Singles bowling is not the only challenge at Bowl-O-Matic. League nights are popular too. Employee Tony Ledbetter says no w is a prime time to j oin a team for the summer. A person does not have to be a professional to be in a league; anyone can. University sororities and fraternities compete through leagues, and other civic clubs or company employees can form teams. A blond-haired little boy, wearing a Billy-the-Kid t-shirt, picks up his bowling ball, protecting it with both arms. He walks to the bowling lane and pushes the ball toward the pins, hoping for a strike. But a gutter ball is all he gets. A blond-haired spirited woman shows no inhibitions when she hits a strike. "It's about time," she yells for all to hear. Long says that once you have tried bowling, you can't help wanting to go back. "As long as my arm doesn't break for some reason, I'll be back-for sure," he added.

When Cynthia Tucker informed her parents that she was considering changing her major from pre-medicine to journalism following her freshman year in college, her mother took it all in stride. "You're nosy and you like to run your mouth," she replied, "so you ought to be a good reporter." The change has obviously paid off for the 1976 graduate of Auburn. Last December she was named associate editor of The Atlanta Constitution. Tucker replaced Bill Shipp, who became Perspective editor of the paper, and she will be responsible for the Sunday newspaper's section of opinion and analysis. A native of Monroeville, Ala., Tucker joined the news staff of The Atlanta Journalin June 1976 after her graduation. In 1980 she became a reporter for The Philadelphia Inquirer, but returned to The Atlanta Journal two years later as an editorial assistant. A visit to Tucker's office shows her concern for blacks in America and the world. Her wall is decorated with a map of Africa and on her desk is a stack of articles about current racial issues. Before returning to work in Atlanta, Tucker spent six months traveling through Africa writing a series of freelance articles. She also traveled to Nicaragua last September with a delegation of eight other Americans. Tucker is a member of Resur-gens Atlanta and of the Atlanta Association of Black Journalists, which presented her with an award in 1984 for excellence in editorial writing. Tucker remembers that her parents convinced her that she could succeed in whatever she tried. "My parents were supportive of whatever I wanted to do," she said. "My father never told me that girls can't do this or that." Her strong sense of self-confidence led Tucker to attend Auburn and become one of the first black students to graduate in journalism. "I wanted to go to a school where if I made it, I could be sure I had made it on my own," she said. "I didn't want any special help or special favors. I think I understood that you don't get any special favors in the working world and I wanted to be prepared or that." When asked about the journali sm department at Auburn, Tucker replied, "The journalism department was a very relaxed place and all the professors knew the students. Being the only black student in some of my large lecture classes took some getting used to, but I never felt like an outsider. Personally, I think I thrived in the environment. Auburn was good for me." And Tucker was good for Auburn. She wrote for the student newspaper, The Auburn Plainsman, and served as a War Eagle girl. She also excelled in the classroom to the extent that Jack Simms, who had Tucker as one of his first students after becoming head of the journalism department in 1974, remembers her as "one of the top fifteen students we have had in my twelve years at Auburn." "I wanted to write for a big-city daily, preferably in Atlanta," Tucker said. Things haven't turned out that way, but Tucker said she couldn't be any happier with her new job. Her latest goal is to one day become a syndicated columnist and have her byline in hundreds of papers. Auburn ranks among nation's elite Auburn ranked 85th among the nation's colleges and universities in money generated and spent for science and engineering research and development for 1983-84. A recently released National Science Foundation survey also indicated that Auburn ranked 49th in the country in research expenditures generated from private sources, 12th in agriculture research expenditures, and 54th in engineering research expenditures. In the category of life sciences, which includes agriculture and veterinary medicine, Auburn ranked 68th in the nation in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, 1984. "Anyone who falls in the top 100 in any of these categories is in a very select group," said Marge Machen, surveyor for the NSF in Washington, D.C. Each year, the foundation conducts a nationwide survey on college and university research expenditures, which include money generated by public and private contracts and grants, state and federal allocations, and other research projects and programs. The 1983-84 rankings for Auburn are based on total scie n c e / e n g i n e e r i n g research expenditures of about $30 million. Since the 1983-84 NSF survey, the AU Research Office reports that research expenditures reached $38 million in 1984- 85, and are continuing to climb this year. Machen said the NSF compilation of numbers for 1984- 85 will be released this fall. Auburn's total dollar value of science-engineering research was bolstered by high numbers in agriculture, with $23.4 million expended, and engineering, with $4.9 million expended. In total research expenditures in science and engineering in 1983-84, Auburn and UAB were the only universities in the state to make the top 100. Aided by strong federal funding for medical research, UAB ranked 71st with $40.4 million. Auburn was the only university in the state to make the top 100 in non-federal expenditures for research with its 48th ranking, representing $21.5 million. The university came in 124th in federal research expenditures for the year with $8.5 million and UAB, the only other Alabama school to make the top 150, came in 53rd with $32.4 million, again aided by medical research. In research money from industry and other private sources, Auburn ranked 49th in the nation in expenditures, with $2.6 million. UAB was the only other Alabama school to make the top 100, ranking 38th with $3.1 million. In engineering, Auburn's $4.94 million for 1983-84 was 54th, up from 61st just one year prior. Agriculture was a new NSF category for 1984, previously reported under life sciences. In the life sciences, Auburn's 68th ranking was up from 73rd the previous year. "Of course, the numbers we use don't reflect all of. a particular university's research because we look only at science and engineering, and not such areas as educat i o n and the h u m a n i t i e s ," Machen added. - GIVE HER EYES A SPARKLE FOR MOTHER'S DAY TRILLIANT DIAMONDS TRIANGULAR SHAPED DIAMONDS RINGS, PENDANTS & EARRINGS $195°° & up REGENCY DIAMONDS i - & MANUFACTURING COMPANY ^^ DOWNTOWN FROM KROGER'S • CORNERVILLAOE • AUBURN M-8 10-« NOW RENTING to SINGLE UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE STUDENTS One & Two Bedroom Apartments at CAROLINE DRAUGHON VILLAGE (older section) Rent ranges from $215.00 to $295.00 per month For more information contact University Housing, Burton Hall, Ph. # 826-4580 •21-5717 I Village Green Apartments Summer Leases Laundry Facilities 3 Bedroom-Fully Furnished Free Cable TV-Swimming Pool Gas Grills-Party Pavillion For information call Pineway Properties 887-6575 STEREO dn AND Doors Down From Kroger VIDEO Au'b n urn 887-7813 L QUALITY HOME STEREO • CAR STEREO VIDEO CUSTOM INSTALLATION Alpine • JBL • Yamaha Polk Audio • Onkyo • Dual Nee Video • Aiwa Cassettes Hafler • Ortofon • Shure MOVIE RENTALS Open 10-7 Monday-Thursday n™ (..j^Jp*®?.

Inside, most of the action was at the front desk. Phones rang off the hook . . . "Yes, I swear there are only four people in my room". .. "All I want to know is my room number" . . . "Can't you let me in, I've lost my key" . . . It was not your average weekend. It was the 1986 house party at Panama City Beach, Fla. In contrast to house party 1985, the crowd was calm. "I appreciate their (the Auburn students') business, and I want them to come again next year. The students were better behaved this year than at past house parties at Panama City," said Bob Carre, manager of the Holiday Inn, where many students stayed last weekend. Last year, The Blue Horizon, a motel where many students stayed during house party at Fort Walton Beach, Fla., claimed thousands of dollars worth of property and room damages. The damages done to the rooms were paid for through individual room deposits, said Rick Rimes, manager of The Blue Horizon. Some property damages, however, such as floors saturated by water from fire hoses, could not be traced to the responsible party. " I t ' s just our loss," Rimes said. As a result, The Blue Horizon formulated a policy banning Auburn students from staying at the motel. "After what Auburn did last year, we can't take a chance on them again. Maybe we couple of years," Rimes said. The ban from the Blue Horizon didn't seem to put a damper on this year's house party. Susan Ham, 04PRJ, said that she had a better time this year than last year because there is so much to do in Panama City. "I even had a good time just playing Putt-Putt, even though I got eaten by mos-quitos," Ham said. This is the first house party for Michelle Marek, 01PG, who said the weekend was everything she expected. "Everyone was laid back, and it was a good chance to meet people. For example, I got up Sunday morning and there were at least 20 people in my room. I didn't know everyone at first, but I met them," Marek said. Raymond Kernea, 03PB, said his favorite part of house party was sitting on the beach with his cooler watching people and talking to them. "One thing I did at house party was sleep on a floor in a room where I didn't know anyone. People walked by, looked at me and asked, 'Who is that?"" What do you think? In light of the Chernobyl incident, what do you think about the safety of nuclear energy? Leigh Lawrence, 04 FM I feel safe. There's a difference in the types of power plants we have here and the ones over there. Herring Pearson, 04 TN I don't think we should ban nuclear power. We need it for advancement of technology in the U.S. but until we have a disaster, there's not much for us to worry about. Joe Harmon, 04 MN I feel that it's safe in this country. Ben Schmerbauch, 02 PB I'm still for it. It saves energy. I don't think we should do away with nuclear power. Beverly Lott, 03 PB I think they have to be careful with it. No, we shouldn't ban it.

Wofford, Business Manager Volume 92 Number 24 EDITORIAL BOARD OPINIONS Free press luxury Freedom of the press. It's a constitutional right guaranteed to all Americans by the First Amendment. ; -It's that privilege that allows Americans to know what is going on jh their towns, their country and .around the world. It's a right that gives Americans the facts so that they may draw their own conclusions about the issues of the day. But it is a right that is always criticized or usually taken for granted. We constantly criticize the press for harping on an issue too long. We abuse journalists for digging around where we think they have no business. We complain about newspapers blowing an issue out of por-portion or sensationalizing. But what would we do without a free press? What would we do if the government could decide what they were going to tell us and when they were going to do it? Just think how we reacted after the recent Chernobyl incident. We were angry at the Soviet officials because they tried to cover up the accident and we felt sorry for the Soviet citizens because they never really knew what was happening. Some Russians have an idea that the information they receive through newspapers and the television newscasts is not always factual. One man was quoted as saying, "We know to multiply when they give us numbers. If they say two people are dead, we know it probably means many more." How would you feel if you had to play guessing games with the news accounts you received? Sure, there are problems with America's free press. There are overzealous reporters who dig up more problems than news—the ones always looking for the big story that may not exist. There are also those before all the facts are in, and there is always a story that "just won't die." But for the most part, America's press is doing a good job. Journalists are the watchdogs for the rest of us—the ones who keep government officials and labor leaders and big business and everyone else on their toes. Journalists are the ones who try to find out what is really going on and tell the rest of us about it. So next time you start to criticize the press, just think about what you would do without it. Engineering troubles Some mechanical engineering students are worried. They are worried about this fall's r,eview of their department by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The mechanical engineering department received a three-year accreditation in 1983 rather than a full six-year rating and is now up again for accreditation. Larry Lee, an Auburn alumnus and member of the regional operating board of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, said the three-year accreditation was given because ABET wanted to see some improvements in the department before giving full accreditation. Well, all of this worry about ABET has gotten the students worried. The main complaint the students have is that they don't really know what is going on with the accreditation proceedings. Many have complained that department officials are keeping them in the dark about the issue and not telling them the full facts. Many of them are worried that the department will lose its accreditation in the fall. The students have a valid gripe because their future, and the future of the department, depends on the outcome of the ABET fall review. Most people involved think that mechanical engineering will receive accreditation, even if on the borderline, but the worries are still there. Losing its accreditation could be a fatal blow to the mechanical engineering department. Students who graduate with a degree from an unaccredited school usually have a harder time getting top paying jobs, and they must complete six years of work to receive a professional engineering license, unlike the four-year requirement for accreditated school graduates. Also, there are six accredited mechanical engineering departments in the state and Auburn must remain competitive with these to receive quality funding from the legislature. Another major problem lies in recruiting quality students in the future. Students looking for a mechanical engineering degree certainly won't come to Auburn and it may affect other engineering departments on campus as well. Also, without top students and accreditation, the department will have a difficult time recruiting quality faculty, which will be another problem the next time the accreditation review board comes around. Now is the time for the mechanical engineering department to gets its act together and prepare for the ABET review. The future of all ME students and the department hinges on what happens this fall.

Fraternity friends appreciated Paul SULLIVAN With only three columns left in my Plainsman career, (yes, only a trio of attempts at radicalism remaining, Eric) I gladly feel I must devote editorials to the three organizations which have positively affected me during the most influential period in anyone's life: college. The first organization is the fraternity I consider myself fortunate to be a member of, Beta Theta Pi. Fraternities in general are often the recipients of negative press or bring connotations of unruly behavior with their mere mention. But the organizations, like college, one's career or nearly anything else, operate on the same principle—you get out of it what you put into it. College is intended to be an education in life and membership in a fraternity or sorority is advocated as an integral ingredient in that education. My fraternal association began years ago (I'm not revealing just how long ago), and it has been packed with friends and memories I hope I will build upon and certainly never forget. A few of the times I would prefer to forget are the Dollhouse embarrassment directed by the infamous David Tschir-hart, the moustache - painting party under the foosball table at a Huntsville rush party, Kid Garmon blessing us with his own sermon during a pre-game prayer at Jordan-Hare Stadium and living in Hyatt House for one agonizing year with a Clemson football fanatic. Some of the moments and feelings that will live in my mind forever are watching John Eitzen pole vault down four rows in Legion Field after Bo Jackson scored Auburn's winning TD in a 23-22 UAT defeat, last spring's SGA election night on Cater Lawn, numerous trips to the track last spring with Johnny Botter and David Tschirhart and the '85 fraternity football season. I also owe many thanks to countless brothers who have encouraged and assisted me since I came to Auburn. Thanks to David Schroeder for telling me I should become more involved on campus. Thanks to each and every Spook for being a basketball whipping boy last quarter. Thanks to Jeff Deery for his awesome slogan. Thanks to Charles Evers for being about the best little, or is it big, brother anyone could ask for. Thanks to my campaign manager David Tschirhart and chapter organizer Chuck Porter for their invaluable help during last spring. Thanks to Jerry Mattson for being a true knave. (Give me 25 strokes next Friday for $5.) Thanks to Tim Mitchell for his assistance during concourse time last spring. Thanks to Mike Goodson, Mark McCabe, Johnny Botter, Bobby Gregory, Dwayne Russell, Richard Cannon, Chris Little, Art Patrick, Brantley Black, Roy Cozart, Eric Stanaland and the Admiral and the rest of last spring's neophyte class for their time last spring. Thanks to Dr. Edward Taylor for his continual guidance of the chapter. Thanks to Carl Lange and Carl Gleghorn for their near perfect work on T-shirts and billboards before campaigns. Thanks to Jeff Nichols and Jerry Matt-son for also being whipping boys in tennis and ping pong respectively. Thanks to Carl Lange and Brian Kelly for being loyal pledge brothers. Thanks to Mike Induni, Doug Shatto, Mike Brandon, Greg Griffith, Chris Long, Steve French, Green, Andy Songer, Lance Bond, Jim Pitt, Jim Savage, Jeff Gilbert, Donnie Kelly, Dale Linder, Cliff Darby, Lance Walker, David Vicker, Buc Fever, Mark Bridges, Geoff Harper, John Hicks, Gid Wakefield, Baby Brandon, Bob Lynch, J.T., Floocher, Allen Holman, Fred Newman and Babe Hawthorne for providing constant entertainment. I could include many more names and instances, but I can't feature the college experience without fraternity life, and specifically for me, Beta Theta Pi. Paul Sullivan is editor of the Plainsman. McMillan not out of governor's race Suzy FLEMING George McMillan isn't doing so well in the governor's race right now. That's what the polls say, anyway. Why, he even ended up at the bottom of a Selma Pancake House Poll. So it's pointless to waste a perfectly good vote on someone who is so far behind, even if he is a pretty good candidate, After all, the. polls never miss, right?i Wrong. Remember the 1948 presidential election? (Well, I guess most of us don't actually remember it, but we've all heard about it in history class.) Thomas Dewey was so far out in front, headlines were already printed, "DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN!" Harry Truman didn't believe the polls and early predictions. It's not the polls that should be considered but the candidate. One of McMillan's main priorities is education. As college students, this should concern us. Many of us have failed classes because of inadequate high school backgrounds, but we are the lucky ones. Many others haven't gotten a strong enough education to get them into college. It is McMillan's plan that all teachers should be tested on their basic reading, writing and math skills. Teachers will be given two years to pass the test. Those who don't will be replaced. Competent teachers will not be affected. They will be able to enjoy teaching students who have learned what they were supposed to in lower grades. Among McMillan's other concerns for the state is the Alabama Development Office. The ADO is supposed to bring industry to the state, giving the jobless a chance to work. In the past, the ADO has become a pay-off position for political friends. Alabama is ranked 48th out of 50 in finding employment for its citizens. That's 200,000 people out of work right now—not such a hot record. As governor, McMillan plans to restructure the ADO and make it responsible to a board of directors. This board will be made up of representatives from large and small businesses. The board will be given the power to hire a professional developer instead of being chaired by an appointed friend of the governor. McMillan also has a plan to cut down frivolous law suits. While he agrees that people need a means of compensation when they have been wronged because of someone else's negligence, McMillan believes lawsuits are being blown out of proportion. He is strongly in favor of tort reform. These are but a few of the plans McMillan will carry out if elected governor. There is another important factor to be considered by Auburn University students on election day. The governor of the state sits as chairman on the University Board of Trustees. As a former student leader here, (he served as SGA president, assistant editor and news editor of the Plainsman) McMillan would surely have the best interest of the students in mind. McMillan has a history of being behind in the polls. In the 1974 state Senate race and in the 1978 lieutenant governor's race, he was ranked low in the polls. He won both of those elections. In the 1982 gubernatorial race, it wasn't even predicted that he would make the run-off. He did. Though pollsters said McMillan had little chance of coming close to George Wallace in the 1982 democratic primary run-off, Wallace won by barely more than one percent, 50.9 percent to 49.1 percent. So do you still believe in the polls? I don't. I believe in George McMillan. Suzy Fleming is associate editor of the Plainsman. Tradition often curtails individuality If a student at Auburn who aspires to move up in the circle of achievement learns to use any word, that word will be tradition. Tradition is the hot air that keeps many a useless tongue in motion. Tradition keeps a lot of people from having to do a lot of thinking. All I know about tradition is what I've read in Shirly Jackson's "The Lottery" and that if you don't get ice cream at the Flush you're obviously a communist. When I was in high school, my senior class wanted to do everything the way it had always been done. Our adviser thought tradition for tradition's sake was idiotic. I thought she was causing unnecessary problems then, but now I understand the lesson she was teaching us. Last weekend I attended a homecoming banquet to honor the junior college I attended my sophomore year. It was a school founded over 80 years ago and alumni from as long ago as 1915 attended. No doubt, it was a school rich in history and is still a wonderful place to spend two years; the faculty is excellent, the environment conservative and the cost is affordable. Sitting there that night I realized from the speeches about tradition, money and what the school meant to those who had gone there, that even when I hadn't been going to school at Auburn, I was. My sophomore year was spent at a scaled down version of Auburn. I guess that's why I loved Snead State so much, because it is so much like Auburn. Once Auburn gets in your blood, it consumes you. It is indeed a special place. "Family" is a word people use in connection with Auburn and I guess that is a good one to use. No matter that your family is imperfect, it doesn't change your relationship or in the end, your feelings. But loving something doesn't make it perfect. And what I feel one of the biggest problems with Auburn is that people tend to use tradition as one would a crutch or a shot of Scotch; they both make good excuses, but poor substitutes for a strong leg or strong nerves. Also, an undesirable side effect to a reliance on tradition is that it promotes an overemphasis on assimilation into what an Auburn student should be. Of course, every institution of learning should affect its students and leave on them a unique influence, but never at the expense of the individuality of the student. Somebody put out the signal that there were strict dress and behavior mores to be followed and that deviation might result in sudden death. ("He doesn't dress like an SGA president," "He acts just like an art major," "It's not hard to tell she's an independent.") I guess this is what I don't like about tradition. I want to be able to choose my own values. I want to be able to be me and rejoice in the things that are unique about me, instead of cowering self-consciously about them. There are so many similarities between us all; if we find something different we should celebrate it instead of extinguishing it. It's ridiculous that we too often try to fit a mold when we arrive in college. We've already been cast and luckily no two of us are the same. If we were all the same, it would be just like my fourth grade teacher Mrs. Hallmark said, life would be boring. So if Auburn looks to you like a monotonous place some time, blame it on everybody trying to be like everybody else. And I think that can be blamed on tradition. And so while I feel a twinge of affection for legacies and the pompous like, I also feel oppressed by it. And if there's something I'd like to say it's this, whatever it may mean to you personally—"He's programmed to work hard, he's never profane; he won't go insane, not ever...My clone sleeps alone."

Mother's Day has always been a happy time in our family, but this year there will be tears mixed in with the smiles. They say you never fully appreciate something until it is taken away from you, mothers included. My mom lost her mother almost two weeks ago, and 10 grandchildren lost a grandmother they loved and adored. Although I know Granny Brucke is in a far better place, that knowledge does little to ease the pain of spending Mother's Day without her. We can't send her flowers this year. All we can do is drop a rose atop her freshly dug grave. It should make you stop and think. How often do you tell your parents you appreciate them? Sadly to say, most of us don't tell them enough. I am especially fortunate that my mother, a woman I consider one of my closest friends, is still around. Oh we've had our arguments over many things in the past, but when Mother's Day rolls around, those aren't the things that stick in my mind. I see a lot of my grandmother reflected in my mother and her sisters. They all have the same kind of love for people that Granny Brucke had and the same down-to-earth sense of humor. There have been many times that Mama's lips twitched with laughter as she scolded one of her kids for doing something socially unacceptable in public. With five children, sometimes all you can do is laugh. Surprisingly, after 24 years of marriage and five children, Mama hasn't gone gray yet. One of the fondest memories I have is dressing up just like my Mama. I have always worn Mama's clothes and in the past few years we've done a lot of clothes trading. My grandmother used to say that the first time she saw me walk, I was clomping down the hall in my mother's pink high heels. I used to dress up in Mama's wedding gown and make my appearance on the back balcony, waving to my subjects (the dogs) like I was the Queen. If I could go back in time, I would undo some of the things I did that upset my mother. I would find her pearl ring that I lost out in the back yard. I would glue back her prize lamp that Joel and I broke and I would clean my room all those times I didn't when I was told to. I am grateful that I knew and have known three of the greatest role models that any girl could ever have, my mother and my two grandmothers. Through them I have seen what it takes to be a good wife, mother, lover and friend to those they have met over the years. I have also learned from them that in times of heartache and trouble to put my strength in God. No greater lessons could I have learned. Throughout the years our gifts to Mama have ranged from dandelions picked in the pasture to roses delivered by the florist, but she always says the greatest gift is her children's love. Please don't let Mother's Day slip past without letting your mom know you love and appreciate her. You never know when it might be too late. Happy Mother's Day, Mama. Kim Best is news editor of the Plainsman. Lack of Russian news reports on catastrophe shows stupidity I can picture this conversation taking place on the outskirts of Kiev or near the closest glowing cow: "Boris, don't you think we've done a good job keeping the news of our terrible nuclear fallout from those capitalistic Americans?" "Da, Igor. Those silly fools think there were only two of our fellow workers nuked!" "And little do the democratic dummies know that we had to evacuate almost 15,000 from the area closest to Chernobyl." "It just goes to show that we are perfect, and that we can keep anything secret." "Da, Boris. When Brezhnev was sick, they believed us when we told them he had a cold. Little did they know he'd been dead for three years." "And Igor, remember Stalin and all those people he had killed? Those stupid idiots believed we were using birth control to decrease our population." "But this one tops them all Boris! Those ignorant Westerners think Siberia is a resort area and are always trying to get reservations through my brother Stanislav's travel company, but all he does is laugh and say 'nyet.'" "I can't wait until that Ted Turnerisky comes over this summer with all his nonsteroid athletes. Boy, won't they be surprised when they see their opponents glowing in the dark!" "Da, Boris." "Gotta go now Igor, I'll see you next week when our hair turns orange and falls out." "Da, Boris." How silly does the Soviet Union think we are? Do they not realize their own stupidity in not releasing information about the nuclear fallout at Chernobyl? The United States, with all the unwanted expertise on nuclear reactor problems, would be more than welcome to help them out, at least so it won't brain damage as many capitalists as it has killed Russians. I personally thank the Soviet government for having the forethought to put those reactors in a place close to other countries. If this disaster had happened in the middle of Russia, it could have taken weeks for American satellites to discover it. But then again, maybe the radioactive cloud would have moved south over Iran. You see, what Communists try and do is control the news so nothing bad will ever get out. But you and I know, thanks to our handy-dandy spy satellites. , The Soviet Union, in all its ignorance, should be smart enough to realize this disaster has endangered the lives of people other than Soviets. How would you like to wake up in Stockholm one bright (no pun intended) sunny morning and find your pet cat Natasha, who has already drank its bowl of milk, with no hair and a tongue with all the hues of red, orange and yellow? I guess I'm mad at the Russian government for two reasons. As a journalist, I would be more than a tad bit upset if someone was telling me what I could print. Especially if I was being threatened with an extended vacation somewhere north of the Arctic Circle that I couldn't pronounce. Journalists and the media are here for the basic reason of reporting the news. If something goes wrong, journalists have a responsibility to report it or everything would become corrupt, unless someone had extremely strong morals (which are lacking in the world today). The second reason hits just a tiny bit closer to my personal life. My father, instead of going to House Party like weeuns, took it upon himself the laborious task of a fun-filled weekend in Italy, a country known for lasagna and spaghetti, hold the 4,000 degree Fahrenheit microwaving. All I'm waiting for now is the gift T-shirt my father got me which reads, "My father went to Southeastern Europe and got radiated, and all I got was this lousy T-shirt." Of course the letters glow in the dark. No batteries needed. Chris Roush is an assistant news editor for the Plainsman. Nations' economic systems cause hunger Editor, The Plainsman: America is the only country in the history of mankind that has never suffered a famine. The cause of America's success and the relevance it has for world hunger is the essential point that the previous writers to the Plainsman failed to mention. America is the idea that the individual has a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Founding Fathers understood this to mean that the individual has the right to sustain his own life through his own efforts without obstructions from others—which is liberty. When we examine the globe where people have suffered from famines in this century, one thing stands out—they have either rejected this idea or they do not know it. Socialism is the opposite of this idea. It is the idea that the individual lives for others or lives for the state. As a viable social system or ideology, it is dead; and any country that attempts to organize a society founded on this idea is doomed to failure. Observe Russia, once the richest bread basket in the world, and now they are unable to feed themselves. The problem is not that the earth can only support so many inhabitants. North America was able to support only one million Indians given their way of life. Now it supports 250 million people and could sustain millions more. Actually, there is an abundance of potential resources in the world which could support a much greater population than exist today. The earth is a gigantic 4,000 mile radius sphere made up entirely of resources, plus the sun drenches it daily with massive amounts of energy compared with the small amounts that man uses. Of course, the problem is that man must apply his mind to the task of unlocking these resources, but this has never been a problem for America. Hence, hunger is not a population problem as Dr. Hardin advocates, nor are famines inevitable. It is a problem of how people deal with one another. Where people have recognized that a person has the right to pursue his own happiness and the right to the products of his efforts, we have seen famines vanish. There are writers and intellectuals who insist in ignoring or evading this idea. They only wish to see that America has amassed great wealth and that the solution entails redistributing this wealth to the "noble" causes. They completely disregard the necessary conditions that make that wealth possible. These writers exhort Americans to feel guilty about their prosperity and inform us that we should now live for the world. It is evident today that the world is tottering under the various forms of socialism including fascism, communism and the welfare state. And, yet, - there are those who keep insisting that" the solutions consist of more govern-; ment control and human sacrifice. Whatever the motivations are for-these demands, it cannot be said that any of them is humanitarian, considering the immense suffering that men have endured under socialism in this century. John D.

Grad senate, SGA should be separate Editor, The Plainsman: I would like to take this opportunity to call on President Martin and the rest of the administration to recognize the Graduate Student Senate as independent from the SGA. This idea certainly is not new. In January of this year, the Graduate Student Senate voted unanimously to withdraw from the SGA. In February, the Graduate Council unanimously endorsed the idea. In March, The Plainsman gave its endorsement. In April, the University Senate endorsed the idea with one dissenting vote, that of John Stein, SGA President. Finally this month, the results of a poll of all graduate students favored withdrawal by a vote of 234 to 24. While it is encouraging to have the support of groups like the University and The Plainsman, the two groups whose wishes are paramount are the Graduate Student Senate, the duly elected governing body of the graduate students and of course the graduate students themselves.

I was an undergraduate at Auburn myself several years ago. I am quite confident that as a graduate student I can say undergraduates do not understand or are even fully aware of the problems that graduate students face. The graduate students support independence from the SGA. The Graduate Student Senate has declared itself to be independent. All that is needed now is President Martin's recognition of this autonomy. When the American colonies declared their independence from British rule, they had to fight a revolution that was finally ended in Paris in 1783. The graduate students have been and are fighting with the SGA. President Martin, please end this conflict; listen to the people that have the right to decide. Recognize the Graduate Student Senate for what it truly is: the duly elected governing body of the graduate students completely independent of the SGA. John Croftoh 06 PS Professor lashes out at James' career Editor, The Plainsman: When I see the advertisement in the newspapers or on television endorsing Fob James for a second term as governor, it is not hard to remember the enthusiasm with which thousands of Alabamians greeted the news that he had been elected to a first term in 1978. But it is painful. Far from delivering on his promises of progressive, enlightened leadership which would allow Alabama to attain its rightful position among the leaders in the resurgence of the Sun Belt, James left behind a shameful legacy of political ineptitude and mismanagement from which this state has yet to fully recover. Though James apparently believes that Alabama voters suffer from amnesia when it comes to this legacy, such is not the case. Despite his attempts to revise the looks on his previous term in his current campaign for governor, the facts remain brutally clear. James went through six finance directors from 1978-1982, and three, Sid McDonald, David Bronner, and Rex Rainer, have all expressed the view that Committee applications available beginning Monday in SGA office Editor, The Plainsman: I would like to announce that applications for student positions on University Committees will be available in the SGA office in Foy Union beginning this Monday, May 12. University Committees are an effective means by which students can voice their opinions and I would like to encourage all students to apply for one of these committees. Applications for SGA committees will also be available beginning Monday, May 12. These committees work directly with the members of the Executive Cabinet and are also an effective way to get involved in your student government. For any further information, please free to call or come by the SGA office in Room 332 of Foy Union. Robert Maund SGA President a second term for James would be a disaster for this state. James also increased taxes almost as often as he changed finance directors-four times in four years including a four cent per gallon hike in the prices of gasoline—despite a campaign promise not to do so. Where did all these tax revenues go? Certainly not into the state General Fund budget. Three times during James' four years in office, the state ran out of money and had to go into proration. By contrast, we had proration only once during George Wallace's almost fifteen years in office. The money didn't go to the Alabama Development Office to bring business and resultant jobs into the state either, .though many observers thought that James, as a businessman himself, would be highly successful in luring new industry and development into the state. At a time when other Southern governors were becoming their state's chief salesmen, James sat on the sidelines, content to let Alabama fall further behind her less resource-gifted sister states. Finally, the revenues never found their way into education, and higher education in particular. While states such as North Carolina and Florida were increasing their higher education expenditures and developing their state institutions into nationally recognized centers for learning and research, Alabama's universities chafed under severe; budget restrictions and in some cases almost lost their accreditation. James' promises to reform and. improve secondary education proved as empty as the state's coffers—an estimated 10 percent of Alabama teachers today lack the basic skills to be effective in the classroom. Despite this fact, James is still adamantly opposed to a truly comprehensive teacher testing program. Some of us have not forgotten the pain inflicted upon this state during his first term, nor have we fallen for the false version of it that he would have us to remember. Allen W. Jones University Archivist History Professor James' column causes reply from student Editor, The Plainsman: This letter is in reply to "James choice for governor," an editorial that obviously was left over from the April Fool's edition a month earlier. The big tip-offs to this sarcastic editorial included such phrases as "a man of impeccable honesty," "free of abundant special interest ties" and "solid leadership." The editorial credits every good thing that happened during James' administration to James, even the issues to which he was opposed. I'm sure anyone who survived James' administration will recall how he tried to un-earmark tax dollars and to dismantle teacher's retirement system and lower the benefits to educators. The eight percent increase in teachers' salaries noted in the article was much lower than the raise James gave to other state employees. In fact, the Alabama Education Association said James was like a spoiled child and earned a "trip to the legislative woodshed" because he threw a tantrum every time he didn't get his way. I'm sure his tantrums would do wonders for the state's image, if he were!, allowed in office again. I seem to also remember Fob and Bobbie (his wife) throwing some parties' that were reminiscent of Marcos in the Philippines. And if Fob had had his way, every child in an Alabama public school would be reciting the prayer \ written by Fob's son. If some of you don't remember these antics, just ask a schoolteacher how he or she feels about Fob James. The group he supposedly did so much for (according to the editorial) is laughing at the idea of James' re-election. I just hope other voters are as sensible. I was outraged when I first saw the! headline on this editorial, but after, reading through its blatant untruths, IJ saw it for the joke it was. Thanks for a good laugh, Paul.

Dugas Staff Writer Design students enthusiastically endorse the program as a means to "wet their feet" with real life situations, and Alabama towns benefit with a "first step" toward revitalizing their communities. The program, organized through the University's Planning and Design Assistance Group, has recently matched the talents of Auburn students in urban planning, architecture, landscape architecture and interior design with a request from "Talladega First," a committee of Talladega's business leaders interested in revitalizing their downtown sector. Darrell Myer, chairman of the University's Planning Program for graduate students, is coordinating the project. He met with the "Talladega First" committee last June to gauge the town's commitment and to advise the group on appropriate procedures. The action began in Auburn when three graduate students in planning, charged with drafting an overall comprehensive revi-talization plan, commuted to the town on a weekly basis fall quarter.

Drawing on their backgrounds in law, history and architectural planning, the students developed a general plan with suggestions on how the town might look if historically renovated and proposed specifics in dealing with economical and physical aspects of the Hwy. 21 corridor through town. To show the possibilities of renovation in a more direct and personal mananer, fifth-year architecture students under the direction of Tarik Orgen devoted two weeks to rehabilitation solutions. Mike Dionas, assigned two storefronts currently occupied by a tax preparation business, met with the owner of the building to discuss his needs and budget constraints. Attempting to discern how the building evolved from what it was originally, Dionas probed beneath an aluminum fasade to reveal the vintage brick storefront. He also talked to elderly citizens about the structure's original appearance while other students solicited old photographs. Mark Harrison said he was pleased with the reception of his masonic temple renovation and with the general good responses from owners to the student's sidewalk presentations in front of the designated storefronts. As the project progressed into winter quarter, fourth-year landscape architecture students were called in and given a draft of the proposed revitalization plan. With technical advice from the planning design and architecture students, John Robinson's seniors tackled the problems of routing pedestrian and vehicular traffic through downtown by creative use of plantings, materials and lighting. The project has received a heartening response from community members who have been shown the value of good planning and design while learning how to deal with professionals. To honor the students, community members held a reception in December at the local Carnegie Library, now an art gallery, where the student's projects were displayed. In paying the community the ultimate compliment, Brown said, "It's one of those places I would go back to live in." Art professor remembers decision "It probably had been in the back of my mind for some time, but it wasn't until I came time to register that I made a conscious decision to study art." That is the way Hugh Williams recalls his "day of decision" about a career that has been spent almost entirely where it began—at Auburn. Williams, who recently retired after 28 years as a member of the Auburn art faculty, recalled how he moved to Auburn as a sixth grader when his father joined the veterinary medicine faculty. (One of his four brothers, Mac, still lives in the family home at the corner of Samford Avenue and Wright's Mill Road.) Referring to the summer he entered college, Williams explained, "I don't recall any pressure to follow in my father's footsteps and there was no scene Lobster Sale!!

Sponsored by the Campus Crusade for Christ. when I came home and announced that I had registered as an art student. "I had enjoyed drawing through high school but certainly wasn't a prize winner. It just dawned on me, when they asked me my intended major, that I didn't want to go into medicine or a scientific field." After graduation and a tour of Army duty in Europe—"Until the last minute we thought our self-propelled artillery unit was headed for Korea"—Williams, like many young artists, was off to New York to conquer the world of commercial art. Although he landed a job with a leading ad agency, he soon came to realize that such work didn't match his temperament. However, Williams stayed in New York freelancing while earning his Master of Fine Arts at Columbia University. Williams' first teaching job still stands out in his mind because of his principal at Jordan High School in Columbus. "He felt very strongly that the arts were important, particularly because many of the students came from homes where there was little exposure to such. A series of six-week segments in several of the arts were provided for freshmen and sophomores—with electives open to juniors and seniors." The artist-art educator pointed to the number of people who some years out of school express the wish that they had had at least an introduction to one or more of the arts. That supports, he feels, his conviction that Auburn would be wise to support wider introductory offerings. From his own experience as student, teacher and artist, Williams finds that art helps contribute to an individual's growth and development because art develops both self-expression and discipline. "I always tried to encourage my students to express their feelings and their impressions...to paint and draw what they saw or felt, not what they thought would please me. But at the same time, I tried to help them appreciate the fact that mastery of various techniques would strengthen their ability to express, stressing the point that such mastery comes only through the discipline of repeated trials." Asked to name some of the highlights of his career, Williams quickly began by naming the opportunity to study under and then return as a colleague of such artists as Maltby Sykes, Frank Applebee and the late Joe Marino-Merlo. Williams neglected to mention a goodly number of honors, prizes and exhibitions over his years at Auburn. Also high on his list are his selection as an Alumni Professor and the award of emeritus status. "It's also flattering to learn that the Mississippi Art Colony has established a Hugh Williams Scholarship," he said straightforwardly. Other recognitions which he rated as particularly meaningful to him were a grant for a summer residency at Taos, N.M. in 1974 from the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation and in 1976, a fellowship at the MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, N.H. Although he is pinch-hitting as a part-time faculty member this fall, Williams did get in a few weeks this summer "practicing what he had preached." When his temporary return to work is over, he'll be back in his studio which he built by converting one end of the barn to the rear of his home a few miles out Moore's Mill Road.

Chris Winchester, 02 PB, has been chosen as the new drum major for the Auburn University Marching Band. The sophomore from Opelika was selected from 17 male candidates to direct the band for the next two years. The tryout procedures involved a group interview, marching, vocal commands and directing. Marching Band Director Johnnie Vinson, Assistant Director Tom Caneva and present drum major Katy Worthington selected Winchester after the five-day tryout. "It's something I've always wanted to do," Winchester said. "I am excited about getting drum major. Everyone who tried out had a good shot and everyone supported each other. I'm sure it was a hard decision." Vinson agreed. "It's more than drum major techniques, because the drum majors are the leadership position in the band. That's what makes the picking difficult." Because the band has no officers, the drum majors also serve as band president, social chairmen and, in general, the leaders of the band. A tuba player in the band for two years, Winchester had the support of the tuba section. They chanted, "Tuba-get-it, tuba-get-it" just before the decision was announced. After numerous slaps on the back, handshakes and hugs, Winchester finally made his way to the instrument storage room. With a wide smile he said, "Now I can take my name off the tuba I reserved for fall!" Pharmacy professors working to alleviate effects of aging By Kristi Francis Staff Writer Three professors from the School of Pharmacy are trying to do something to alleviate some of the suffering of aging. The teachers are working with the East Alabama Medical Center to study the effects of an arthritis drug on renal failure victims. A person with renal failure — usually age 40 or over — has diseased or disfunctioning kidneys, said Keith Campagna of the Pharmacy School. Since the kidney is the organ of the body which filters out waste, a renal failure victim must be cautious of everything that goes into his body, Campagna said. Campagna, William Ravis and C. Randall Clark of the School of Pharmacy, and Dr. Charles J. Diskin, of the Opelika Nephrology Referral Service, have been studying the effects of Sulindac, a drug used for the relief of arthritis pain, on renal failure victims. "The purpose of the study is to determine the proper dosage of Sulindac in renal failure patients," Campagna said. Taking an improper dose of the drug can have several consequences, he said. The most serious problem is that a toxicity could develop from the malfunctioning kidney. This damage happens when substances called prostaglandins reduce blood flow to the kidneys, he said. Other problems include irritation to stomach lining and gastrointestinal pain. The study, which is expected to be completed in two months, is funded by a $7,000 grant from Merck, Sarp and Dome, which manufactures Sulindac. Campagna said the project is actually costing more than the amount of the grant, but the researchers are trying to work within a budget. Other studies on drugs like Sulindac using teams of pharmacists and physicians are being planned. The next study will probably be on the drug Aura-nofin and its effects on renal failure victims, Campagna said. Patients involved in the study need to be hospitalized, and Campagna said the EAMC has been cooperative with the researchers.

The improvements will be the first phase of a new plan to improve the appearance of campus by planting trees along several of the most-traveled streets and incorporating existing trees into a planned landscape. Groundwork for the project began about a year ago, after Cochran of Atlanta donated funds to create a street plan on campus, Tom Tillman, Auburn's campus architect, said. Using an inventory of campus trees done by Harry Ponder, Department of Horticulture, and funds donated by Cochran, the Atlanta firm of Franzman/Davis and Associates designed a master tree plan to promote consistent and planned planting. The plan uses a host of different species in various areas on campus. The remainder of the Cochran funds are being used to buy the trees needed for Thach Avenue. AU Physical Plant is expected to begin the plantings soon. The University architect said some confusion has arisen because of the recent removal by the state of some trees for the widening of Samford Avenue, near the University tennis courts. That required the removal of some trees in the vicinity of the courts and the football practice field. Donahue Drive from South College Street to Samford Avenue also will be four-laned. At Samford, the four-lane will go west to the Samfod/Wire Road intersection. It will then curve to join Hiram Lane Drive, already four lanes.

The media can just make him look more personable, she said. Although image advertising is predominant, some office-seekers opt for more issue-oriented campaigns. Competition seems to be the deciding factor in the type of advertising selected. Challengers running against incumbents tend to go after the issues because this is an area where they have an opportunity to compete. "Where there is no competition, there is no incentive for people to work at issue orientation," Latimer said. Accredit continued from A-l Because incumbents are often shoo-ins for re-election, they don't have to advertise as hard. They tend to sit on past laurels, relying on them for re-election. "It is only when they are challenged that they get off their seats and do something," she said. Math uate students and teacher effectiveness." Students will use a different method in selecting classes because of "a better definition of courses and a better identification of courses offered," Brandt said. In some instances, the same course will be taught under both departments and, "the way the Latimer said state senate elections tend to be issue oriented because senators are closer to constituents and their problems, while candidates for offices such as attorney general, treasurer and governor run more general elections, often leaving voters confused and uninformed.

However, a student will be able to talk to his adviser and choose the best teaching method for himself. The heads of the two departments have not been chosen. They will be chosen by the faculty with approval by Brandt and Dean Edward H. Hobbs of the School of Arts and Sciences. continued from A-l a two-day visit to Auburn this fall, Smith said. The team will evaluate the program and discuss the strengths and weaknesses. A preliminary statement will be sent to the school following the evaluation for department officials to review. The visiting team's recommendations are then sent to an ABET commission who vote to accredit. "There are six accredited undergraduate schools in Alabama, and Auburn has to stay competitive to get funds from the legislature," Lee said. "We don't need to just maintain ABET accreditation, but embody everything that it stands for." The students are justified in their concerns about the status of the mechanical engineering department, Smith said, because "in some states to get a professional engineering license, you have to graduate from an accredited program." Auburn's mechanical engineering department is presently accredited, said Denise Hooper, a spokesman for the Alabama State Board of the National Council of Engineering Examiners. If the school should lose its accreditation, a graduate would be required to get six years of work experience before being eligible to apply for a professional engineering license, Hooper said. If the school is accredited, then graduates are only required to have four years of work experience before being able to apply for the license, she added. "I think mechanical engineering at least meets minimum standards, and things have been improved in the last three years," Crocker said. Sociology prof unwinds with art By Ken Hattaway Asst. Entertainment Editor When he's not at the University handling matters in the sociology department, Murray Adams is sometimes found relaxing before his easel at the kitchen table of his home. As head of the sociology department, Adams is met at times with stressful situations. To unwind, he likes to paint. "I have to discipline myself," Adams said. "The drawings and paintings I do help me become less tense." Although he's been drawing since age five, his work didn't start taking shape until high school. It was there when he started interacting with other students. "By talking with others doing the same thing, I found out what I was doing wrong and learned how to correct it," Adams said. "The teachers, however, wanted to see everyone draw much the same way, so there was little incentive to be creative." After graduating from the University of Mississippi, Adams wound up at Auburn. It was during the 1970s that his hobby took on more importance. He and other art enthusiasts around Auburn organized the Auburn Art Guild. The members met regularly each month to paint or look at their artwork. People encouraged him to sell his paintings when the guild began having art shows at Christmas. In 1978, he sold several of his pieces at one of the shows. "I started becoming more secure in what I was doing," Adams said. "It took a lot of work, but it was worth it." Although it takes him six to eight hours to complete a charcoal drawing and about 20 hours to do an oil, Adams occasionally has to work overtime with special subjects. "I finally finished a portrait of my wife and two daughters," Adams said. "I had to bribe my youngest daughter to get her to sit still long enough to draw her." As models, Adams likes using the 15th and 16th century Dutch and Flemish painters as inspiration. "I like Vermeer; he does beauti- . ful work with light and shadows," Adams said. "I've probably tried to draw more like him than anyone else. It's all a matter of getting my eyes to replicate what I see. I developed my style by learning from everybody else." By Dawn Harrold Staff Writer Changes in sexual behavior since the sexual revolution of the 60's have meant an increase in sexually transmitted diseases. "The leading cause of sexually transmitted diseases today is chlamydia," said Dr. Dunlop W. Oleson, acting director of Drake Student Health Center. Chlamydia ( pronounced, cla- MID-ee-a), is caused by the enlarged virus whose full name is chlamydia trachomatis, Oleson said. Chlamydia is named for the Greek word "chlamys" which means to cloak. "Chlamydia has been around for ages," Oleson said, "but there has been a tremendous rise in incidence infections in the last 20-25 years, probably dated to what is generally referred to as the sexual revolution of the 60's." Beth McDanal, nurse practitioner of the center, said chlamydia lives in the cervix of the female and in the urethra in the male, causing an infection. McDanal said chlamydia in males usually causes urethritis, which is an inflammation of the urethra. If not treated, it could spread to the testicles and cause another inflammation called epidiymitis which could result in sterility. In females, chlamydia usually starts as an infection of the cervix, McDanal said, and moves up the female reproductive tract causing infection of the uterus or fallopian tubes. Oleson said worldwide there have been an estimated 300 million cases of chlamydia infections. "Chlamydia is the number _ sexually transmitted disease ' i c we now see on campus, far e common than gonorrhea JU 1 genital herpes," he added. The biggest problem with chlamydia is that there are few hard statistics and many people infected have no symptoms, Oleson said. Symptoms in males usually consist of itching or burning with urination or a urethal dischard, Oleson said. In females, an itching and burning in the genitals, vaginal discharge, dull pelvic pain and bleeding between menstrual periods may occur. There are no slang names for this silent sexually transmitted disease that goes unnoticed by 60 to 80 percent of women and 10 percent of the men who have chlamydia infections. "Females may not have symptoms until the disease moves into the reproductive tract," McDanal said, "in which case they get what we call pelvic inflammatory disease, which is a disease of the uterus in the tubes." When this infection is severe, sterility can result because of scar tissue and adhesions in the reproductive organs. Besides being transmitted sexually, chlamydia can be passed from a woman to her child during "Chlamydia is the number one sexually transmitted disease that we now see on campus." birth. McDanal said that this can cause pneumonia or an eye infection called conjunctivitis. Chlamydia is hard to detect but easy to treat. Oleson said 10 to 15 years ago, the only way to diagnose the disease was by culture, and culture viruses are tricky because they require a living cell culture. However, in recent years, tests have been developed that make chlamydia screening feasible in almost any laboratory. Chlamydia is curable with the right antibiotics. Tetracycline, doxycyline or erythromycin are recommended drugs. Oleson said testing is "relatively inexpensive," and that the student health center performs testing. He said females should realize that a regular pap smear will not detect chlamydia infections and they should ask their doctors for the specific testing. "Chlamydia infections and gonorrhea exist simultaneously, and in fact, the Center for Disease Control in the United States recommends if an individual is Tee Off \Mth Munsingwear Enter Our Putting Contest Come in and try your putting skills and get a FREE pack of golf tees just for registering. 1 out of 3 wins a FREE MUNSINGWEAR® GOLF BALL 2 out of 3 wins a MUNSINGWEAR® VISOR 3 out of 3 wins a MUNSINGWEAR® KNIT SHIRT Try Your Luck Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Although gonorrhea infections , can be stopped with the use of , penicillin, chlamydia infections cannot. Medication, which is usually taken for seven days, is the only thing needed to cure chlamydia infections, unless surgical problems develop. Oleson said there have been cases on campus in which students have required surgery because of chlamydia infections.

Oleson said students who are not sexually active do not attend family planning, but the center . - will screen anyone who requests : the test.

Elkind, the 1986 Mildred Brown Davis lecturer, is a professor of child study and resident scholar at Tufts University. The author of more than 300 items, including two recent books, "The Hurried Child" and "All Grown Up and No Place to Go," Elknd is among those studying questions raised at several levels as an outgrowth of the belief that a child's developmet can be accelerated. Elkind told students and faculty Thursday night that children are being pressured and hurried to grow up at an early age. "Parents are believing that earlier is better; this puts children at a risk for no reason because there is no gain," he said. The disintegration of "progress markers," said Elkind, is a contributing factor to the problem. Elkind said the various types of markers include clothing, activity, available information and perceived images. These serve as indicators of growth, giving children, and adults, an idea of their status. For example, he said, children now dress "older" with the new designer clothes. Elkind said this gives them nothing to look forward to and can contribute to child abuse. Activity markers are also diminishing, said Elkind. One prime example, he said, is athletics. "With more than 30 percent of school children engaged in over-competitive, over-organized sports, another adolescent marker is eliminated." Information markers are dwindling as well, said Elkind. Where parents use to withhold certain information such as financial aspects and sexual facts, television now renders parents unable to control the information . The image marker is also disappearing with the portrayal of the "adultified kid" in the media, Elkind said. Many television shows are misleading, he said, because they show children handling problems in an adult-like manner. Elkind said this is "powerful and dangerous" because children must learn from adults before they can be treated as equals. Elkind said markers are not the only thing lost in hurried development. In early childhood, he said, children go through three stages of respect development. The first stage is unilateral respect, where children learn to respect adults as authorities. Next, he said, is mutual respect. Here, children learn to interact with others. Elkind said over-organization in this stage is resulting in children devoting less time to spontaneous play. This, he said, deprives them of the informal rule-making and rule-breaking games which are important to the last stage—self-respect. Elkind said the pressures on children are beginning to show. Some 40 percent of school-age children suffer from stress, he said, and even pre-schoolers are showing psychosomatic symptoms. Other alarming facts, said Elkind, include the increase in substance abuse by teenagers. More than two million teens in the United States are alcoholics, he Battered wives find safehouse The shelter is a stopping ground for battered women and their children who need a safe place to stay for a limited time, Lipshutz said. "Women will stay anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks," she said. If a woman calls the Safehouse hotline, a listener will take her name and number and call a volunteer who will get back in touch with the woman within 30 minutes. These intake volunteers are trained to listen carefully, evaluate the caller's situation and suggest the caller's options. If the caller is in physical danger, the volunteer may suggest she go to the police. Other options include going to a friend, family member, hotel or a hospital if the caller is injured. The volunteer will sometimes refer a caller to legal services, if she is seeking information about a divorce, or to the Department of Pensions and Security, where she can inquire about food stamps, welfare or protection of her children. If the intake volunteer suggests that the caller go to Safehouse, and the caller agrees, the two women will meet some place separate from the caller's home. The volunteer will take the woman and, if needed, her children to Safehouse. This is the most dangerous part - * * By Jenny Lauderdale Staff Writer Violence is a painful, terrifying phenomenon.

Approval given to math split By Sandra Ingram Staff Writer In a decision by the office of Academic Affairs, the math department will be split into two separate departments effective after approval by the Board of Trustees. According to some members of the math faculty, the split is a result of feuding among the faculty within the department. I The feuding stemmed from differences of opinions about teach- 1 ing methods. Candidates attract votes through media By Debbie Long Research Editor Political campaigning has become impersonal and voters do not know the candidates as well as they did before television turned politics into a technical advertising arena, said an expert on politics and the media. Margaret Latimer, associate professor of political science, said the days of hand shaking and campaign speeches on courthouse steps are fading away as more candidates rely heavily on the mass media to help them reach the people and get the votes. Gubernatorial and state senate candidates in Alabama spend as much as 60 percent of their total reported expenditures on media advertising, Latimer said. "The mass media is the easiest way to reach multitudes of people. I think the logic says to go Latimer mass media, and that's what has happened," she said. But Latimer is primarily interested in the contents of political ads and whether they are actually saying anything worthwhile about the candidates or informing the voters. Her current research is a continuation of a study she conducted four years ago on political advertising in Alabama. Overall, advertising leans heavily on projecting a positive image for the candidate. "Standard procedure" is to portray the candidate as family oriented and impeccably honest, as opposed to delving into the issues and proving his or her qualifications, Latimer said. Races, such as for lieutenant governor, seldom involve more depth than a face on the television screen or a name on a bill board, she said. A candidate can be elected without voters knowing what the office entails or whether the candidate has the ability to do the job. "When they advertise, they don't say anything," Latimer said. With image advertising, the issue becomes a matter of how personally attractive the candidate is, which may be irrelevent to his competency. "Some of the people in the lesser election will be chosen for their looks," she said. Political critics have complained about what has been called "media packaging"— making a candidate into somet h i n g he is not through advertising—but Latimer said she disagrees. See LATIMER, A-9 Dr. William Brandt, vice-president of academic affairs, made the decision for the split because "the situation has gone over a period of years," and the department needed the division to grow and enhance to get more workability. The math department will be primarily split into two sets of teaching methods. One method will be an analysis of set theory and topology while the other method will be algebraic analysis and combinatorics. These approaches are used now. In selecting a class, a student "right now doesn't know which way it (the teaching method) will be taught. This way it will be identified," said Brandt. The decision, which is pending a vote by the Board of Trustees, will probably be effective this fall quarter, according to Brandt. The current math department will gradually phase into the two separate factions. One of the departments will remain in Parker Hall and the other "will probably be in the old ROTC building," said Phillip Zenor, a professor in the math department. A faculty vote of 17-34 against the split was held earlier this year, but the decision for the separation was still made. Zenor, who opposed the split, said he "was totally surprised when I heard of the decision." Brandt felt the decision was made in the best interest of the students because he and a recommendations committee "are looking at different ways of handling courses that will provide for better handling of grad- See MATH, A -9 By Kim Best News Editor Students in mechanical engineering are beginning to question the University's efforts to insure full accreditation in the program this fall. The department has not been accredited for a full six-year term since 1975, when the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET) granted the accreditation, according to Larry Lee, an Auburn alumnus and member of the regional operating board of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). "We have heard various rumors about the department losing its accreditation, and we want to know what's being done and how we can help," said Chuck Reid, a junior in mechanical engineering. "As students we're concerned about the respect our degree will have when we get out of school," Reid added. In 1980, ABET granted the department a three-year show cause accreditation, said Lee. ABET presented the department with a list of areas that needed to be corrected if accreditation was to be maintained, he added. According to Lee, a visiting team from ABET returned in 1983 and found the department in worse condition than before and recommended that accreditation be pulled. However, ABET over ruled the recommendation and the department was reaccredited for another three year period, he added. Peter Smith, associate accreditation director of ABET, said the information concerning past accreditation decisions was not available. "Three years ago the department was given a three-year clean accreditation. Several improvements have been made since that time," said Dr. Malcolm Crocker, head of the mechanical engineering department. Improvements cited by Crocker included the creation of three new undergraduate labs and the hiring of five new faculty members in the last 12 months. A major renovation of Ross Hall is expected to begin soon at a cost of almost $1 million, Crocker added. Space allotments for the department have increased about 50 percent since the ABET team was last here, and several changes have been made in the curriculum in the past two years, according to Crocker. "Emphasis in the ME department has been transferred from teaching ability to research ability," said Lee in a speech to the Auburn chapter of ASME last Tuesday. The old cliche describing professorship is no longer "publish or perish" but rather "bring in the funds or perish," Lee said. A visiting team is scheduled for See ACCREDIT, A-9 Grads vote to withdraw from SGA By Kim Best News Editor The general consensus of graduate students on campus is to withdraw from the Student Government Association, according to results of a recent poll. The poll was created by the Graduate School and the Office of Student Affairs and sent to approximately 1700 graduate students. The purpose of the poll was to get an objective view of what graduate students want concerning representation on campus, according to senators from the Graduate Student Association (GSA). Only 258 people, 15 percent of the students polled, responded, according to figures released by the Graduate School. Of the 258 responses, 91 percent said they favored pulling out of the SGA, six percent favored remaining in the SGA, and three percent expressed no opinion at all. "I'm disappointed that more grad students didn't express any opinion at all," said Grant Davis, vice president of student affairs. Citing different needs from undergraduate students and little or no representation on University committees, the GSA voted last January to withdraw from the SGA. There are no set procedures for the GSA to follow in pulling out of the SGA, since the Code of Laws of the SGA constitution does not address the issue, Davis said. "I think the poll is something that will have to be evaluated when looking at the overall picture," Davis said. The request to withdraw from the SGA is presently being considered by the President's Office. In a letter to the GSA, President Martin said that, "The results of that survey, coupled with other appropriate data, including legal counsel, will be used to assist the University Administration in recommending a plan for the governance of the Graduate School." Bowling for fun Sport provides entertainment twist By Lisa Milberger Staff Writer People searching for new ways to fight the weekend blahs have found an alternative at the Bowl- O-Matic alley in Auburn. The inside of the plain building on Opelika Highway comes alive as bursts of thundering booms bolster through a long room filled with people dressed in odd, multicolored shoes. White ceiling fans turn at a snail's pace. A sea of green carpet stops at the cold wooden floor where players put their skills to work. Many of them, bored with the same Saturday night routine of dinner and a movie, have changed their entertainment schedule to bowling for excitement. Dave Bisaro, wearing casual jeans and smoking a cigarette, did not start bowling until two years ago when he moved to Auburn. His discovery of Bowl-O-Matic helped to acquaint him with Auburn. "Bowling is a a night out for my wife and for myself. It's different, and you meet people," Bisaro said. Bryant Long, in shorts and a buttondown oxford, agrees with Bisaro. "Bowling is a different place to go instead of a club to have fun and drink beer with your fraternity brothers," he said. Playing on the non-computerized alleys brings a feeling of living in the 1950s when the sport was at its peak. Plenty of bowling balls are provided, ranging in colors from basic black to bright tie-dyed looking splashes of red and black. Bowling is not the only attraction. An assortment of video games, "Pac Man?' "1942" and "Pirdie King II," buzz and sing to teenagers with pockets full of quarters. Pool buffs cue their way around on pool tables lighted by fluorescent lights with beer logos. Food is served most of the time from a square white room with a grill and a slick counter. Liz Tan-kersley, part-time cook, says that hamburgers with everything are the customers' favorite. Hot dogs and spicy nachos are also available as well as draft beer. Singles bowling is not the only challenge at Bowl-O-Matic. League nights are popular too. Employee Tony Ledbetter says no w is a prime time to j oin a team for the summer. A person does not have to be a professional to be in a league; anyone can. University sororities and fraternities compete through leagues, and other civic clubs or company employees can form teams. A blond-haired little boy, wearing a Billy-the-Kid t-shirt, picks up his bowling ball, protecting it with both arms. He walks to the bowling lane and pushes the ball toward the pins, hoping for a strike. But a gutter ball is all he gets. A blond-haired spirited woman shows no inhibitions when she hits a strike. "It's about time," she yells for all to hear. Long says that once you have tried bowling, you can't help wanting to go back. "As long as my arm doesn't break for some reason, I'll be back-for sure," he added.

When Cynthia Tucker informed her parents that she was considering changing her major from pre-medicine to journalism following her freshman year in college, her mother took it all in stride. "You're nosy and you like to run your mouth," she replied, "so you ought to be a good reporter." The change has obviously paid off for the 1976 graduate of Auburn. Last December she was named associate editor of The Atlanta Constitution. Tucker replaced Bill Shipp, who became Perspective editor of the paper, and she will be responsible for the Sunday newspaper's section of opinion and analysis. A native of Monroeville, Ala., Tucker joined the news staff of The Atlanta Journalin June 1976 after her graduation. In 1980 she became a reporter for The Philadelphia Inquirer, but returned to The Atlanta Journal two years later as an editorial assistant. A visit to Tucker's office shows her concern for blacks in America and the world. Her wall is decorated with a map of Africa and on her desk is a stack of articles about current racial issues. Before returning to work in Atlanta, Tucker spent six months traveling through Africa writing a series of freelance articles. She also traveled to Nicaragua last September with a delegation of eight other Americans. Tucker is a member of Resur-gens Atlanta and of the Atlanta Association of Black Journalists, which presented her with an award in 1984 for excellence in editorial writing. Tucker remembers that her parents convinced her that she could succeed in whatever she tried. "My parents were supportive of whatever I wanted to do," she said. "My father never told me that girls can't do this or that." Her strong sense of self-confidence led Tucker to attend Auburn and become one of the first black students to graduate in journalism. "I wanted to go to a school where if I made it, I could be sure I had made it on my own," she said. "I didn't want any special help or special favors. I think I understood that you don't get any special favors in the working world and I wanted to be prepared or that." When asked about the journali sm department at Auburn, Tucker replied, "The journalism department was a very relaxed place and all the professors knew the students. Being the only black student in some of my large lecture classes took some getting used to, but I never felt like an outsider. Personally, I think I thrived in the environment. Auburn was good for me." And Tucker was good for Auburn. She wrote for the student newspaper, The Auburn Plainsman, and served as a War Eagle girl. She also excelled in the classroom to the extent that Jack Simms, who had Tucker as one of his first students after becoming head of the journalism department in 1974, remembers her as "one of the top fifteen students we have had in my twelve years at Auburn." "I wanted to write for a big-city daily, preferably in Atlanta," Tucker said. Things haven't turned out that way, but Tucker said she couldn't be any happier with her new job. Her latest goal is to one day become a syndicated columnist and have her byline in hundreds of papers. Auburn ranks among nation's elite Auburn ranked 85th among the nation's colleges and universities in money generated and spent for science and engineering research and development for 1983-84. A recently released National Science Foundation survey also indicated that Auburn ranked 49th in the country in research expenditures generated from private sources, 12th in agriculture research expenditures, and 54th in engineering research expenditures. In the category of life sciences, which includes agriculture and veterinary medicine, Auburn ranked 68th in the nation in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, 1984. "Anyone who falls in the top 100 in any of these categories is in a very select group," said Marge Machen, surveyor for the NSF in Washington, D.C. Each year, the foundation conducts a nationwide survey on college and university research expenditures, which include money generated by public and private contracts and grants, state and federal allocations, and other research projects and programs. The 1983-84 rankings for Auburn are based on total scie n c e / e n g i n e e r i n g research expenditures of about $30 million. Since the 1983-84 NSF survey, the AU Research Office reports that research expenditures reached $38 million in 1984- 85, and are continuing to climb this year. Machen said the NSF compilation of numbers for 1984- 85 will be released this fall. Auburn's total dollar value of science-engineering research was bolstered by high numbers in agriculture, with $23.4 million expended, and engineering, with $4.9 million expended. In total research expenditures in science and engineering in 1983-84, Auburn and UAB were the only universities in the state to make the top 100. Aided by strong federal funding for medical research, UAB ranked 71st with $40.4 million. Auburn was the only university in the state to make the top 100 in non-federal expenditures for research with its 48th ranking, representing $21.5 million. The university came in 124th in federal research expenditures for the year with $8.5 million and UAB, the only other Alabama school to make the top 150, came in 53rd with $32.4 million, again aided by medical research. In research money from industry and other private sources, Auburn ranked 49th in the nation in expenditures, with $2.6 million. UAB was the only other Alabama school to make the top 100, ranking 38th with $3.1 million. In engineering, Auburn's $4.94 million for 1983-84 was 54th, up from 61st just one year prior. Agriculture was a new NSF category for 1984, previously reported under life sciences. In the life sciences, Auburn's 68th ranking was up from 73rd the previous year. "Of course, the numbers we use don't reflect all of. a particular university's research because we look only at science and engineering, and not such areas as educat i o n and the h u m a n i t i e s ," Machen added. - GIVE HER EYES A SPARKLE FOR MOTHER'S DAY TRILLIANT DIAMONDS TRIANGULAR SHAPED DIAMONDS RINGS, PENDANTS & EARRINGS $195°° & up REGENCY DIAMONDS i - & MANUFACTURING COMPANY ^^ DOWNTOWN FROM KROGER'S • CORNERVILLAOE • AUBURN M-8 10-« NOW RENTING to SINGLE UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE STUDENTS One & Two Bedroom Apartments at CAROLINE DRAUGHON VILLAGE (older section) Rent ranges from $215.00 to $295.00 per month For more information contact University Housing, Burton Hall, Ph. # 826-4580 •21-5717 I Village Green Apartments Summer Leases Laundry Facilities 3 Bedroom-Fully Furnished Free Cable TV-Swimming Pool Gas Grills-Party Pavillion For information call Pineway Properties 887-6575 STEREO dn AND Doors Down From Kroger VIDEO Au'b n urn 887-7813 L QUALITY HOME STEREO • CAR STEREO VIDEO CUSTOM INSTALLATION Alpine • JBL • Yamaha Polk Audio • Onkyo • Dual Nee Video • Aiwa Cassettes Hafler • Ortofon • Shure MOVIE RENTALS Open 10-7 Monday-Thursday n™ (..j^Jp*®?.

Inside, most of the action was at the front desk. Phones rang off the hook . . . "Yes, I swear there are only four people in my room". .. "All I want to know is my room number" . . . "Can't you let me in, I've lost my key" . . . It was not your average weekend. It was the 1986 house party at Panama City Beach, Fla. In contrast to house party 1985, the crowd was calm. "I appreciate their (the Auburn students') business, and I want them to come again next year. The students were better behaved this year than at past house parties at Panama City," said Bob Carre, manager of the Holiday Inn, where many students stayed last weekend. Last year, The Blue Horizon, a motel where many students stayed during house party at Fort Walton Beach, Fla., claimed thousands of dollars worth of property and room damages. The damages done to the rooms were paid for through individual room deposits, said Rick Rimes, manager of The Blue Horizon. Some property damages, however, such as floors saturated by water from fire hoses, could not be traced to the responsible party. " I t ' s just our loss," Rimes said. As a result, The Blue Horizon formulated a policy banning Auburn students from staying at the motel. "After what Auburn did last year, we can't take a chance on them again. Maybe we couple of years," Rimes said. The ban from the Blue Horizon didn't seem to put a damper on this year's house party. Susan Ham, 04PRJ, said that she had a better time this year than last year because there is so much to do in Panama City. "I even had a good time just playing Putt-Putt, even though I got eaten by mos-quitos," Ham said. This is the first house party for Michelle Marek, 01PG, who said the weekend was everything she expected. "Everyone was laid back, and it was a good chance to meet people. For example, I got up Sunday morning and there were at least 20 people in my room. I didn't know everyone at first, but I met them," Marek said. Raymond Kernea, 03PB, said his favorite part of house party was sitting on the beach with his cooler watching people and talking to them. "One thing I did at house party was sleep on a floor in a room where I didn't know anyone. People walked by, looked at me and asked, 'Who is that?"" What do you think? In light of the Chernobyl incident, what do you think about the safety of nuclear energy? Leigh Lawrence, 04 FM I feel safe. There's a difference in the types of power plants we have here and the ones over there. Herring Pearson, 04 TN I don't think we should ban nuclear power. We need it for advancement of technology in the U.S. but until we have a disaster, there's not much for us to worry about. Joe Harmon, 04 MN I feel that it's safe in this country. Ben Schmerbauch, 02 PB I'm still for it. It saves energy. I don't think we should do away with nuclear power. Beverly Lott, 03 PB I think they have to be careful with it. No, we shouldn't ban it.

Wofford, Business Manager Volume 92 Number 24 EDITORIAL BOARD OPINIONS Free press luxury Freedom of the press. It's a constitutional right guaranteed to all Americans by the First Amendment. ; -It's that privilege that allows Americans to know what is going on jh their towns, their country and .around the world. It's a right that gives Americans the facts so that they may draw their own conclusions about the issues of the day. But it is a right that is always criticized or usually taken for granted. We constantly criticize the press for harping on an issue too long. We abuse journalists for digging around where we think they have no business. We complain about newspapers blowing an issue out of por-portion or sensationalizing. But what would we do without a free press? What would we do if the government could decide what they were going to tell us and when they were going to do it? Just think how we reacted after the recent Chernobyl incident. We were angry at the Soviet officials because they tried to cover up the accident and we felt sorry for the Soviet citizens because they never really knew what was happening. Some Russians have an idea that the information they receive through newspapers and the television newscasts is not always factual. One man was quoted as saying, "We know to multiply when they give us numbers. If they say two people are dead, we know it probably means many more." How would you feel if you had to play guessing games with the news accounts you received? Sure, there are problems with America's free press. There are overzealous reporters who dig up more problems than news—the ones always looking for the big story that may not exist. There are also those before all the facts are in, and there is always a story that "just won't die." But for the most part, America's press is doing a good job. Journalists are the watchdogs for the rest of us—the ones who keep government officials and labor leaders and big business and everyone else on their toes. Journalists are the ones who try to find out what is really going on and tell the rest of us about it. So next time you start to criticize the press, just think about what you would do without it. Engineering troubles Some mechanical engineering students are worried. They are worried about this fall's r,eview of their department by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The mechanical engineering department received a three-year accreditation in 1983 rather than a full six-year rating and is now up again for accreditation. Larry Lee, an Auburn alumnus and member of the regional operating board of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, said the three-year accreditation was given because ABET wanted to see some improvements in the department before giving full accreditation. Well, all of this worry about ABET has gotten the students worried. The main complaint the students have is that they don't really know what is going on with the accreditation proceedings. Many have complained that department officials are keeping them in the dark about the issue and not telling them the full facts. Many of them are worried that the department will lose its accreditation in the fall. The students have a valid gripe because their future, and the future of the department, depends on the outcome of the ABET fall review. Most people involved think that mechanical engineering will receive accreditation, even if on the borderline, but the worries are still there. Losing its accreditation could be a fatal blow to the mechanical engineering department. Students who graduate with a degree from an unaccredited school usually have a harder time getting top paying jobs, and they must complete six years of work to receive a professional engineering license, unlike the four-year requirement for accreditated school graduates. Also, there are six accredited mechanical engineering departments in the state and Auburn must remain competitive with these to receive quality funding from the legislature. Another major problem lies in recruiting quality students in the future. Students looking for a mechanical engineering degree certainly won't come to Auburn and it may affect other engineering departments on campus as well. Also, without top students and accreditation, the department will have a difficult time recruiting quality faculty, which will be another problem the next time the accreditation review board comes around. Now is the time for the mechanical engineering department to gets its act together and prepare for the ABET review. The future of all ME students and the department hinges on what happens this fall.

Fraternity friends appreciated Paul SULLIVAN With only three columns left in my Plainsman career, (yes, only a trio of attempts at radicalism remaining, Eric) I gladly feel I must devote editorials to the three organizations which have positively affected me during the most influential period in anyone's life: college. The first organization is the fraternity I consider myself fortunate to be a member of, Beta Theta Pi. Fraternities in general are often the recipients of negative press or bring connotations of unruly behavior with their mere mention. But the organizations, like college, one's career or nearly anything else, operate on the same principle—you get out of it what you put into it. College is intended to be an education in life and membership in a fraternity or sorority is advocated as an integral ingredient in that education. My fraternal association began years ago (I'm not revealing just how long ago), and it has been packed with friends and memories I hope I will build upon and certainly never forget. A few of the times I would prefer to forget are the Dollhouse embarrassment directed by the infamous David Tschir-hart, the moustache - painting party under the foosball table at a Huntsville rush party, Kid Garmon blessing us with his own sermon during a pre-game prayer at Jordan-Hare Stadium and living in Hyatt House for one agonizing year with a Clemson football fanatic. Some of the moments and feelings that will live in my mind forever are watching John Eitzen pole vault down four rows in Legion Field after Bo Jackson scored Auburn's winning TD in a 23-22 UAT defeat, last spring's SGA election night on Cater Lawn, numerous trips to the track last spring with Johnny Botter and David Tschirhart and the '85 fraternity football season. I also owe many thanks to countless brothers who have encouraged and assisted me since I came to Auburn. Thanks to David Schroeder for telling me I should become more involved on campus. Thanks to each and every Spook for being a basketball whipping boy last quarter. Thanks to Jeff Deery for his awesome slogan. Thanks to Charles Evers for being about the best little, or is it big, brother anyone could ask for. Thanks to my campaign manager David Tschirhart and chapter organizer Chuck Porter for their invaluable help during last spring. Thanks to Jerry Mattson for being a true knave. (Give me 25 strokes next Friday for $5.) Thanks to Tim Mitchell for his assistance during concourse time last spring. Thanks to Mike Goodson, Mark McCabe, Johnny Botter, Bobby Gregory, Dwayne Russell, Richard Cannon, Chris Little, Art Patrick, Brantley Black, Roy Cozart, Eric Stanaland and the Admiral and the rest of last spring's neophyte class for their time last spring. Thanks to Dr. Edward Taylor for his continual guidance of the chapter. Thanks to Carl Lange and Carl Gleghorn for their near perfect work on T-shirts and billboards before campaigns. Thanks to Jeff Nichols and Jerry Matt-son for also being whipping boys in tennis and ping pong respectively. Thanks to Carl Lange and Brian Kelly for being loyal pledge brothers. Thanks to Mike Induni, Doug Shatto, Mike Brandon, Greg Griffith, Chris Long, Steve French, Green, Andy Songer, Lance Bond, Jim Pitt, Jim Savage, Jeff Gilbert, Donnie Kelly, Dale Linder, Cliff Darby, Lance Walker, David Vicker, Buc Fever, Mark Bridges, Geoff Harper, John Hicks, Gid Wakefield, Baby Brandon, Bob Lynch, J.T., Floocher, Allen Holman, Fred Newman and Babe Hawthorne for providing constant entertainment. I could include many more names and instances, but I can't feature the college experience without fraternity life, and specifically for me, Beta Theta Pi. Paul Sullivan is editor of the Plainsman. McMillan not out of governor's race Suzy FLEMING George McMillan isn't doing so well in the governor's race right now. That's what the polls say, anyway. Why, he even ended up at the bottom of a Selma Pancake House Poll. So it's pointless to waste a perfectly good vote on someone who is so far behind, even if he is a pretty good candidate, After all, the. polls never miss, right?i Wrong. Remember the 1948 presidential election? (Well, I guess most of us don't actually remember it, but we've all heard about it in history class.) Thomas Dewey was so far out in front, headlines were already printed, "DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN!" Harry Truman didn't believe the polls and early predictions. It's not the polls that should be considered but the candidate. One of McMillan's main priorities is education. As college students, this should concern us. Many of us have failed classes because of inadequate high school backgrounds, but we are the lucky ones. Many others haven't gotten a strong enough education to get them into college. It is McMillan's plan that all teachers should be tested on their basic reading, writing and math skills. Teachers will be given two years to pass the test. Those who don't will be replaced. Competent teachers will not be affected. They will be able to enjoy teaching students who have learned what they were supposed to in lower grades. Among McMillan's other concerns for the state is the Alabama Development Office. The ADO is supposed to bring industry to the state, giving the jobless a chance to work. In the past, the ADO has become a pay-off position for political friends. Alabama is ranked 48th out of 50 in finding employment for its citizens. That's 200,000 people out of work right now—not such a hot record. As governor, McMillan plans to restructure the ADO and make it responsible to a board of directors. This board will be made up of representatives from large and small businesses. The board will be given the power to hire a professional developer instead of being chaired by an appointed friend of the governor. McMillan also has a plan to cut down frivolous law suits. While he agrees that people need a means of compensation when they have been wronged because of someone else's negligence, McMillan believes lawsuits are being blown out of proportion. He is strongly in favor of tort reform. These are but a few of the plans McMillan will carry out if elected governor. There is another important factor to be considered by Auburn University students on election day. The governor of the state sits as chairman on the University Board of Trustees. As a former student leader here, (he served as SGA president, assistant editor and news editor of the Plainsman) McMillan would surely have the best interest of the students in mind. McMillan has a history of being behind in the polls. In the 1974 state Senate race and in the 1978 lieutenant governor's race, he was ranked low in the polls. He won both of those elections. In the 1982 gubernatorial race, it wasn't even predicted that he would make the run-off. He did. Though pollsters said McMillan had little chance of coming close to George Wallace in the 1982 democratic primary run-off, Wallace won by barely more than one percent, 50.9 percent to 49.1 percent. So do you still believe in the polls? I don't. I believe in George McMillan. Suzy Fleming is associate editor of the Plainsman. Tradition often curtails individuality If a student at Auburn who aspires to move up in the circle of achievement learns to use any word, that word will be tradition. Tradition is the hot air that keeps many a useless tongue in motion. Tradition keeps a lot of people from having to do a lot of thinking. All I know about tradition is what I've read in Shirly Jackson's "The Lottery" and that if you don't get ice cream at the Flush you're obviously a communist. When I was in high school, my senior class wanted to do everything the way it had always been done. Our adviser thought tradition for tradition's sake was idiotic. I thought she was causing unnecessary problems then, but now I understand the lesson she was teaching us. Last weekend I attended a homecoming banquet to honor the junior college I attended my sophomore year. It was a school founded over 80 years ago and alumni from as long ago as 1915 attended. No doubt, it was a school rich in history and is still a wonderful place to spend two years; the faculty is excellent, the environment conservative and the cost is affordable. Sitting there that night I realized from the speeches about tradition, money and what the school meant to those who had gone there, that even when I hadn't been going to school at Auburn, I was. My sophomore year was spent at a scaled down version of Auburn. I guess that's why I loved Snead State so much, because it is so much like Auburn. Once Auburn gets in your blood, it consumes you. It is indeed a special place. "Family" is a word people use in connection with Auburn and I guess that is a good one to use. No matter that your family is imperfect, it doesn't change your relationship or in the end, your feelings. But loving something doesn't make it perfect. And what I feel one of the biggest problems with Auburn is that people tend to use tradition as one would a crutch or a shot of Scotch; they both make good excuses, but poor substitutes for a strong leg or strong nerves. Also, an undesirable side effect to a reliance on tradition is that it promotes an overemphasis on assimilation into what an Auburn student should be. Of course, every institution of learning should affect its students and leave on them a unique influence, but never at the expense of the individuality of the student. Somebody put out the signal that there were strict dress and behavior mores to be followed and that deviation might result in sudden death. ("He doesn't dress like an SGA president," "He acts just like an art major," "It's not hard to tell she's an independent.") I guess this is what I don't like about tradition. I want to be able to choose my own values. I want to be able to be me and rejoice in the things that are unique about me, instead of cowering self-consciously about them. There are so many similarities between us all; if we find something different we should celebrate it instead of extinguishing it. It's ridiculous that we too often try to fit a mold when we arrive in college. We've already been cast and luckily no two of us are the same. If we were all the same, it would be just like my fourth grade teacher Mrs. Hallmark said, life would be boring. So if Auburn looks to you like a monotonous place some time, blame it on everybody trying to be like everybody else. And I think that can be blamed on tradition. And so while I feel a twinge of affection for legacies and the pompous like, I also feel oppressed by it. And if there's something I'd like to say it's this, whatever it may mean to you personally—"He's programmed to work hard, he's never profane; he won't go insane, not ever...My clone sleeps alone."

Mother's Day has always been a happy time in our family, but this year there will be tears mixed in with the smiles. They say you never fully appreciate something until it is taken away from you, mothers included. My mom lost her mother almost two weeks ago, and 10 grandchildren lost a grandmother they loved and adored. Although I know Granny Brucke is in a far better place, that knowledge does little to ease the pain of spending Mother's Day without her. We can't send her flowers this year. All we can do is drop a rose atop her freshly dug grave. It should make you stop and think. How often do you tell your parents you appreciate them? Sadly to say, most of us don't tell them enough. I am especially fortunate that my mother, a woman I consider one of my closest friends, is still around. Oh we've had our arguments over many things in the past, but when Mother's Day rolls around, those aren't the things that stick in my mind. I see a lot of my grandmother reflected in my mother and her sisters. They all have the same kind of love for people that Granny Brucke had and the same down-to-earth sense of humor. There have been many times that Mama's lips twitched with laughter as she scolded one of her kids for doing something socially unacceptable in public. With five children, sometimes all you can do is laugh. Surprisingly, after 24 years of marriage and five children, Mama hasn't gone gray yet. One of the fondest memories I have is dressing up just like my Mama. I have always worn Mama's clothes and in the past few years we've done a lot of clothes trading. My grandmother used to say that the first time she saw me walk, I was clomping down the hall in my mother's pink high heels. I used to dress up in Mama's wedding gown and make my appearance on the back balcony, waving to my subjects (the dogs) like I was the Queen. If I could go back in time, I would undo some of the things I did that upset my mother. I would find her pearl ring that I lost out in the back yard. I would glue back her prize lamp that Joel and I broke and I would clean my room all those times I didn't when I was told to. I am grateful that I knew and have known three of the greatest role models that any girl could ever have, my mother and my two grandmothers. Through them I have seen what it takes to be a good wife, mother, lover and friend to those they have met over the years. I have also learned from them that in times of heartache and trouble to put my strength in God. No greater lessons could I have learned. Throughout the years our gifts to Mama have ranged from dandelions picked in the pasture to roses delivered by the florist, but she always says the greatest gift is her children's love. Please don't let Mother's Day slip past without letting your mom know you love and appreciate her. You never know when it might be too late. Happy Mother's Day, Mama. Kim Best is news editor of the Plainsman. Lack of Russian news reports on catastrophe shows stupidity I can picture this conversation taking place on the outskirts of Kiev or near the closest glowing cow: "Boris, don't you think we've done a good job keeping the news of our terrible nuclear fallout from those capitalistic Americans?" "Da, Igor. Those silly fools think there were only two of our fellow workers nuked!" "And little do the democratic dummies know that we had to evacuate almost 15,000 from the area closest to Chernobyl." "It just goes to show that we are perfect, and that we can keep anything secret." "Da, Boris. When Brezhnev was sick, they believed us when we told them he had a cold. Little did they know he'd been dead for three years." "And Igor, remember Stalin and all those people he had killed? Those stupid idiots believed we were using birth control to decrease our population." "But this one tops them all Boris! Those ignorant Westerners think Siberia is a resort area and are always trying to get reservations through my brother Stanislav's travel company, but all he does is laugh and say 'nyet.'" "I can't wait until that Ted Turnerisky comes over this summer with all his nonsteroid athletes. Boy, won't they be surprised when they see their opponents glowing in the dark!" "Da, Boris." "Gotta go now Igor, I'll see you next week when our hair turns orange and falls out." "Da, Boris." How silly does the Soviet Union think we are? Do they not realize their own stupidity in not releasing information about the nuclear fallout at Chernobyl? The United States, with all the unwanted expertise on nuclear reactor problems, would be more than welcome to help them out, at least so it won't brain damage as many capitalists as it has killed Russians. I personally thank the Soviet government for having the forethought to put those reactors in a place close to other countries. If this disaster had happened in the middle of Russia, it could have taken weeks for American satellites to discover it. But then again, maybe the radioactive cloud would have moved south over Iran. You see, what Communists try and do is control the news so nothing bad will ever get out. But you and I know, thanks to our handy-dandy spy satellites. , The Soviet Union, in all its ignorance, should be smart enough to realize this disaster has endangered the lives of people other than Soviets. How would you like to wake up in Stockholm one bright (no pun intended) sunny morning and find your pet cat Natasha, who has already drank its bowl of milk, with no hair and a tongue with all the hues of red, orange and yellow? I guess I'm mad at the Russian government for two reasons. As a journalist, I would be more than a tad bit upset if someone was telling me what I could print. Especially if I was being threatened with an extended vacation somewhere north of the Arctic Circle that I couldn't pronounce. Journalists and the media are here for the basic reason of reporting the news. If something goes wrong, journalists have a responsibility to report it or everything would become corrupt, unless someone had extremely strong morals (which are lacking in the world today). The second reason hits just a tiny bit closer to my personal life. My father, instead of going to House Party like weeuns, took it upon himself the laborious task of a fun-filled weekend in Italy, a country known for lasagna and spaghetti, hold the 4,000 degree Fahrenheit microwaving. All I'm waiting for now is the gift T-shirt my father got me which reads, "My father went to Southeastern Europe and got radiated, and all I got was this lousy T-shirt." Of course the letters glow in the dark. No batteries needed. Chris Roush is an assistant news editor for the Plainsman. Nations' economic systems cause hunger Editor, The Plainsman: America is the only country in the history of mankind that has never suffered a famine. The cause of America's success and the relevance it has for world hunger is the essential point that the previous writers to the Plainsman failed to mention. America is the idea that the individual has a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Founding Fathers understood this to mean that the individual has the right to sustain his own life through his own efforts without obstructions from others—which is liberty. When we examine the globe where people have suffered from famines in this century, one thing stands out—they have either rejected this idea or they do not know it. Socialism is the opposite of this idea. It is the idea that the individual lives for others or lives for the state. As a viable social system or ideology, it is dead; and any country that attempts to organize a society founded on this idea is doomed to failure. Observe Russia, once the richest bread basket in the world, and now they are unable to feed themselves. The problem is not that the earth can only support so many inhabitants. North America was able to support only one million Indians given their way of life. Now it supports 250 million people and could sustain millions more. Actually, there is an abundance of potential resources in the world which could support a much greater population than exist today. The earth is a gigantic 4,000 mile radius sphere made up entirely of resources, plus the sun drenches it daily with massive amounts of energy compared with the small amounts that man uses. Of course, the problem is that man must apply his mind to the task of unlocking these resources, but this has never been a problem for America. Hence, hunger is not a population problem as Dr. Hardin advocates, nor are famines inevitable. It is a problem of how people deal with one another. Where people have recognized that a person has the right to pursue his own happiness and the right to the products of his efforts, we have seen famines vanish. There are writers and intellectuals who insist in ignoring or evading this idea. They only wish to see that America has amassed great wealth and that the solution entails redistributing this wealth to the "noble" causes. They completely disregard the necessary conditions that make that wealth possible. These writers exhort Americans to feel guilty about their prosperity and inform us that we should now live for the world. It is evident today that the world is tottering under the various forms of socialism including fascism, communism and the welfare state. And, yet, - there are those who keep insisting that" the solutions consist of more govern-; ment control and human sacrifice. Whatever the motivations are for-these demands, it cannot be said that any of them is humanitarian, considering the immense suffering that men have endured under socialism in this century. John D.

Grad senate, SGA should be separate Editor, The Plainsman: I would like to take this opportunity to call on President Martin and the rest of the administration to recognize the Graduate Student Senate as independent from the SGA. This idea certainly is not new. In January of this year, the Graduate Student Senate voted unanimously to withdraw from the SGA. In February, the Graduate Council unanimously endorsed the idea. In March, The Plainsman gave its endorsement. In April, the University Senate endorsed the idea with one dissenting vote, that of John Stein, SGA President. Finally this month, the results of a poll of all graduate students favored withdrawal by a vote of 234 to 24. While it is encouraging to have the support of groups like the University and The Plainsman, the two groups whose wishes are paramount are the Graduate Student Senate, the duly elected governing body of the graduate students and of course the graduate students themselves.

I was an undergraduate at Auburn myself several years ago. I am quite confident that as a graduate student I can say undergraduates do not understand or are even fully aware of the problems that graduate students face. The graduate students support independence from the SGA. The Graduate Student Senate has declared itself to be independent. All that is needed now is President Martin's recognition of this autonomy. When the American colonies declared their independence from British rule, they had to fight a revolution that was finally ended in Paris in 1783. The graduate students have been and are fighting with the SGA. President Martin, please end this conflict; listen to the people that have the right to decide. Recognize the Graduate Student Senate for what it truly is: the duly elected governing body of the graduate students completely independent of the SGA. John Croftoh 06 PS Professor lashes out at James' career Editor, The Plainsman: When I see the advertisement in the newspapers or on television endorsing Fob James for a second term as governor, it is not hard to remember the enthusiasm with which thousands of Alabamians greeted the news that he had been elected to a first term in 1978. But it is painful. Far from delivering on his promises of progressive, enlightened leadership which would allow Alabama to attain its rightful position among the leaders in the resurgence of the Sun Belt, James left behind a shameful legacy of political ineptitude and mismanagement from which this state has yet to fully recover. Though James apparently believes that Alabama voters suffer from amnesia when it comes to this legacy, such is not the case. Despite his attempts to revise the looks on his previous term in his current campaign for governor, the facts remain brutally clear. James went through six finance directors from 1978-1982, and three, Sid McDonald, David Bronner, and Rex Rainer, have all expressed the view that Committee applications available beginning Monday in SGA office Editor, The Plainsman: I would like to announce that applications for student positions on University Committees will be available in the SGA office in Foy Union beginning this Monday, May 12. University Committees are an effective means by which students can voice their opinions and I would like to encourage all students to apply for one of these committees. Applications for SGA committees will also be available beginning Monday, May 12. These committees work directly with the members of the Executive Cabinet and are also an effective way to get involved in your student government. For any further information, please free to call or come by the SGA office in Room 332 of Foy Union. Robert Maund SGA President a second term for James would be a disaster for this state. James also increased taxes almost as often as he changed finance directors-four times in four years including a four cent per gallon hike in the prices of gasoline—despite a campaign promise not to do so. Where did all these tax revenues go? Certainly not into the state General Fund budget. Three times during James' four years in office, the state ran out of money and had to go into proration. By contrast, we had proration only once during George Wallace's almost fifteen years in office. The money didn't go to the Alabama Development Office to bring business and resultant jobs into the state either, .though many observers thought that James, as a businessman himself, would be highly successful in luring new industry and development into the state. At a time when other Southern governors were becoming their state's chief salesmen, James sat on the sidelines, content to let Alabama fall further behind her less resource-gifted sister states. Finally, the revenues never found their way into education, and higher education in particular. While states such as North Carolina and Florida were increasing their higher education expenditures and developing their state institutions into nationally recognized centers for learning and research, Alabama's universities chafed under severe; budget restrictions and in some cases almost lost their accreditation. James' promises to reform and. improve secondary education proved as empty as the state's coffers—an estimated 10 percent of Alabama teachers today lack the basic skills to be effective in the classroom. Despite this fact, James is still adamantly opposed to a truly comprehensive teacher testing program. Some of us have not forgotten the pain inflicted upon this state during his first term, nor have we fallen for the false version of it that he would have us to remember. Allen W. Jones University Archivist History Professor James' column causes reply from student Editor, The Plainsman: This letter is in reply to "James choice for governor," an editorial that obviously was left over from the April Fool's edition a month earlier. The big tip-offs to this sarcastic editorial included such phrases as "a man of impeccable honesty," "free of abundant special interest ties" and "solid leadership." The editorial credits every good thing that happened during James' administration to James, even the issues to which he was opposed. I'm sure anyone who survived James' administration will recall how he tried to un-earmark tax dollars and to dismantle teacher's retirement system and lower the benefits to educators. The eight percent increase in teachers' salaries noted in the article was much lower than the raise James gave to other state employees. In fact, the Alabama Education Association said James was like a spoiled child and earned a "trip to the legislative woodshed" because he threw a tantrum every time he didn't get his way. I'm sure his tantrums would do wonders for the state's image, if he were!, allowed in office again. I seem to also remember Fob and Bobbie (his wife) throwing some parties' that were reminiscent of Marcos in the Philippines. And if Fob had had his way, every child in an Alabama public school would be reciting the prayer \ written by Fob's son. If some of you don't remember these antics, just ask a schoolteacher how he or she feels about Fob James. The group he supposedly did so much for (according to the editorial) is laughing at the idea of James' re-election. I just hope other voters are as sensible. I was outraged when I first saw the! headline on this editorial, but after, reading through its blatant untruths, IJ saw it for the joke it was. Thanks for a good laugh, Paul.

Dugas Staff Writer Design students enthusiastically endorse the program as a means to "wet their feet" with real life situations, and Alabama towns benefit with a "first step" toward revitalizing their communities. The program, organized through the University's Planning and Design Assistance Group, has recently matched the talents of Auburn students in urban planning, architecture, landscape architecture and interior design with a request from "Talladega First," a committee of Talladega's business leaders interested in revitalizing their downtown sector. Darrell Myer, chairman of the University's Planning Program for graduate students, is coordinating the project. He met with the "Talladega First" committee last June to gauge the town's commitment and to advise the group on appropriate procedures. The action began in Auburn when three graduate students in planning, charged with drafting an overall comprehensive revi-talization plan, commuted to the town on a weekly basis fall quarter.

Drawing on their backgrounds in law, history and architectural planning, the students developed a general plan with suggestions on how the town might look if historically renovated and proposed specifics in dealing with economical and physical aspects of the Hwy. 21 corridor through town. To show the possibilities of renovation in a more direct and personal mananer, fifth-year architecture students under the direction of Tarik Orgen devoted two weeks to rehabilitation solutions. Mike Dionas, assigned two storefronts currently occupied by a tax preparation business, met with the owner of the building to discuss his needs and budget constraints. Attempting to discern how the building evolved from what it was originally, Dionas probed beneath an aluminum fasade to reveal the vintage brick storefront. He also talked to elderly citizens about the structure's original appearance while other students solicited old photographs. Mark Harrison said he was pleased with the reception of his masonic temple renovation and with the general good responses from owners to the student's sidewalk presentations in front of the designated storefronts. As the project progressed into winter quarter, fourth-year landscape architecture students were called in and given a draft of the proposed revitalization plan. With technical advice from the planning design and architecture students, John Robinson's seniors tackled the problems of routing pedestrian and vehicular traffic through downtown by creative use of plantings, materials and lighting. The project has received a heartening response from community members who have been shown the value of good planning and design while learning how to deal with professionals. To honor the students, community members held a reception in December at the local Carnegie Library, now an art gallery, where the student's projects were displayed. In paying the community the ultimate compliment, Brown said, "It's one of those places I would go back to live in." Art professor remembers decision "It probably had been in the back of my mind for some time, but it wasn't until I came time to register that I made a conscious decision to study art." That is the way Hugh Williams recalls his "day of decision" about a career that has been spent almost entirely where it began—at Auburn. Williams, who recently retired after 28 years as a member of the Auburn art faculty, recalled how he moved to Auburn as a sixth grader when his father joined the veterinary medicine faculty. (One of his four brothers, Mac, still lives in the family home at the corner of Samford Avenue and Wright's Mill Road.) Referring to the summer he entered college, Williams explained, "I don't recall any pressure to follow in my father's footsteps and there was no scene Lobster Sale!!

Sponsored by the Campus Crusade for Christ. when I came home and announced that I had registered as an art student. "I had enjoyed drawing through high school but certainly wasn't a prize winner. It just dawned on me, when they asked me my intended major, that I didn't want to go into medicine or a scientific field." After graduation and a tour of Army duty in Europe—"Until the last minute we thought our self-propelled artillery unit was headed for Korea"—Williams, like many young artists, was off to New York to conquer the world of commercial art. Although he landed a job with a leading ad agency, he soon came to realize that such work didn't match his temperament. However, Williams stayed in New York freelancing while earning his Master of Fine Arts at Columbia University. Williams' first teaching job still stands out in his mind because of his principal at Jordan High School in Columbus. "He felt very strongly that the arts were important, particularly because many of the students came from homes where there was little exposure to such. A series of six-week segments in several of the arts were provided for freshmen and sophomores—with electives open to juniors and seniors." The artist-art educator pointed to the number of people who some years out of school express the wish that they had had at least an introduction to one or more of the arts. That supports, he feels, his conviction that Auburn would be wise to support wider introductory offerings. From his own experience as student, teacher and artist, Williams finds that art helps contribute to an individual's growth and development because art develops both self-expression and discipline. "I always tried to encourage my students to express their feelings and their impressions...to paint and draw what they saw or felt, not what they thought would please me. But at the same time, I tried to help them appreciate the fact that mastery of various techniques would strengthen their ability to express, stressing the point that such mastery comes only through the discipline of repeated trials." Asked to name some of the highlights of his career, Williams quickly began by naming the opportunity to study under and then return as a colleague of such artists as Maltby Sykes, Frank Applebee and the late Joe Marino-Merlo. Williams neglected to mention a goodly number of honors, prizes and exhibitions over his years at Auburn. Also high on his list are his selection as an Alumni Professor and the award of emeritus status. "It's also flattering to learn that the Mississippi Art Colony has established a Hugh Williams Scholarship," he said straightforwardly. Other recognitions which he rated as particularly meaningful to him were a grant for a summer residency at Taos, N.M. in 1974 from the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation and in 1976, a fellowship at the MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, N.H. Although he is pinch-hitting as a part-time faculty member this fall, Williams did get in a few weeks this summer "practicing what he had preached." When his temporary return to work is over, he'll be back in his studio which he built by converting one end of the barn to the rear of his home a few miles out Moore's Mill Road.

Chris Winchester, 02 PB, has been chosen as the new drum major for the Auburn University Marching Band. The sophomore from Opelika was selected from 17 male candidates to direct the band for the next two years. The tryout procedures involved a group interview, marching, vocal commands and directing. Marching Band Director Johnnie Vinson, Assistant Director Tom Caneva and present drum major Katy Worthington selected Winchester after the five-day tryout. "It's something I've always wanted to do," Winchester said. "I am excited about getting drum major. Everyone who tried out had a good shot and everyone supported each other. I'm sure it was a hard decision." Vinson agreed. "It's more than drum major techniques, because the drum majors are the leadership position in the band. That's what makes the picking difficult." Because the band has no officers, the drum majors also serve as band president, social chairmen and, in general, the leaders of the band. A tuba player in the band for two years, Winchester had the support of the tuba section. They chanted, "Tuba-get-it, tuba-get-it" just before the decision was announced. After numerous slaps on the back, handshakes and hugs, Winchester finally made his way to the instrument storage room. With a wide smile he said, "Now I can take my name off the tuba I reserved for fall!" Pharmacy professors working to alleviate effects of aging By Kristi Francis Staff Writer Three professors from the School of Pharmacy are trying to do something to alleviate some of the suffering of aging. The teachers are working with the East Alabama Medical Center to study the effects of an arthritis drug on renal failure victims. A person with renal failure — usually age 40 or over — has diseased or disfunctioning kidneys, said Keith Campagna of the Pharmacy School. Since the kidney is the organ of the body which filters out waste, a renal failure victim must be cautious of everything that goes into his body, Campagna said. Campagna, William Ravis and C. Randall Clark of the School of Pharmacy, and Dr. Charles J. Diskin, of the Opelika Nephrology Referral Service, have been studying the effects of Sulindac, a drug used for the relief of arthritis pain, on renal failure victims. "The purpose of the study is to determine the proper dosage of Sulindac in renal failure patients," Campagna said. Taking an improper dose of the drug can have several consequences, he said. The most serious problem is that a toxicity could develop from the malfunctioning kidney. This damage happens when substances called prostaglandins reduce blood flow to the kidneys, he said. Other problems include irritation to stomach lining and gastrointestinal pain. The study, which is expected to be completed in two months, is funded by a $7,000 grant from Merck, Sarp and Dome, which manufactures Sulindac. Campagna said the project is actually costing more than the amount of the grant, but the researchers are trying to work within a budget. Other studies on drugs like Sulindac using teams of pharmacists and physicians are being planned. The next study will probably be on the drug Aura-nofin and its effects on renal failure victims, Campagna said. Patients involved in the study need to be hospitalized, and Campagna said the EAMC has been cooperative with the researchers.

The improvements will be the first phase of a new plan to improve the appearance of campus by planting trees along several of the most-traveled streets and incorporating existing trees into a planned landscape. Groundwork for the project began about a year ago, after Cochran of Atlanta donated funds to create a street plan on campus, Tom Tillman, Auburn's campus architect, said. Using an inventory of campus trees done by Harry Ponder, Department of Horticulture, and funds donated by Cochran, the Atlanta firm of Franzman/Davis and Associates designed a master tree plan to promote consistent and planned planting. The plan uses a host of different species in various areas on campus. The remainder of the Cochran funds are being used to buy the trees needed for Thach Avenue. AU Physical Plant is expected to begin the plantings soon. The University architect said some confusion has arisen because of the recent removal by the state of some trees for the widening of Samford Avenue, near the University tennis courts. That required the removal of some trees in the vicinity of the courts and the football practice field. Donahue Drive from South College Street to Samford Avenue also will be four-laned. At Samford, the four-lane will go west to the Samfod/Wire Road intersection. It will then curve to join Hiram Lane Drive, already four lanes.

The media can just make him look more personable, she said. Although image advertising is predominant, some office-seekers opt for more issue-oriented campaigns. Competition seems to be the deciding factor in the type of advertising selected. Challengers running against incumbents tend to go after the issues because this is an area where they have an opportunity to compete. "Where there is no competition, there is no incentive for people to work at issue orientation," Latimer said. Accredit continued from A-l Because incumbents are often shoo-ins for re-election, they don't have to advertise as hard. They tend to sit on past laurels, relying on them for re-election. "It is only when they are challenged that they get off their seats and do something," she said. Math uate students and teacher effectiveness." Students will use a different method in selecting classes because of "a better definition of courses and a better identification of courses offered," Brandt said. In some instances, the same course will be taught under both departments and, "the way the Latimer said state senate elections tend to be issue oriented because senators are closer to constituents and their problems, while candidates for offices such as attorney general, treasurer and governor run more general elections, often leaving voters confused and uninformed.

The team will evaluate the program and discuss the strengths and weaknesses. A preliminary statement will be sent to the school following the evaluation for department officials to review. The visiting team's recommendations are then sent to an ABET commission who vote to accredit. "There are six accredited undergraduate schools in Alabama, and Auburn has to stay competitive to get funds from the legislature," Lee said. "We don't need to just maintain ABET accreditation, but embody everything that it stands for." The students are justified in their concerns about the status of the mechanical engineering department, Smith said, because "in some states to get a professional engineering license, you have to graduate from an accredited program." Auburn's mechanical engineering department is presently accredited, said Denise Hooper, a spokesman for the Alabama State Board of the National Council of Engineering Examiners. If the school should lose its accreditation, a graduate would be required to get six years of work experience before being eligible to apply for a professional engineering license, Hooper said. If the school is accredited, then graduates are only required to have four years of work experience before being able to apply for the license, she added. "I think mechanical engineering at least meets minimum standards, and things have been improved in the last three years," Crocker said. Sociology prof unwinds with art By Ken Hattaway Asst. Entertainment Editor When he's not at the University handling matters in the sociology department, Murray Adams is sometimes found relaxing before his easel at the kitchen table of his home. As head of the sociology department, Adams is met at times with stressful situations. To unwind, he likes to paint. "I have to discipline myself," Adams said. "The drawings and paintings I do help me become less tense." Although he's been drawing since age five, his work didn't start taking shape until high school. It was there when he started interacting with other students. "By talking with others doing the same thing, I found out what I was doing wrong and learned how to correct it," Adams said. "The teachers, however, wanted to see everyone draw much the same way, so there was little incentive to be creative." After graduating from the University of Mississippi, Adams wound up at Auburn. It was during the 1970s that his hobby took on more importance. He and other art enthusiasts around Auburn organized the Auburn Art Guild. The members met regularly each month to paint or look at their artwork. People encouraged him to sell his paintings when the guild began having art shows at Christmas. In 1978, he sold several of his pieces at one of the shows. "I started becoming more secure in what I was doing," Adams said. "It took a lot of work, but it was worth it." Although it takes him six to eight hours to complete a charcoal drawing and about 20 hours to do an oil, Adams occasionally has to work overtime with special subjects. "I finally finished a portrait of my wife and two daughters," Adams said. "I had to bribe my youngest daughter to get her to sit still long enough to draw her." As models, Adams likes using the 15th and 16th century Dutch and Flemish painters as inspiration. "I like Vermeer; he does beauti- . ful work with light and shadows," Adams said. "I've probably tried to draw more like him than anyone else. It's all a matter of getting my eyes to replicate what I see. I developed my style by learning from everybody else." By Dawn Harrold Staff Writer Changes in sexual behavior since the sexual revolution of the 60's have meant an increase in sexually transmitted diseases. "The leading cause of sexually transmitted diseases today is chlamydia," said Dr. Dunlop W. Oleson, acting director of Drake Student Health Center. Chlamydia ( pronounced, cla- MID-ee-a), is caused by the enlarged virus whose full name is chlamydia trachomatis, Oleson said. Chlamydia is named for the Greek word "chlamys" which means to cloak. "Chlamydia has been around for ages," Oleson said, "but there has been a tremendous rise in incidence infections in the last 20-25 years, probably dated to what is generally referred to as the sexual revolution of the 60's." Beth McDanal, nurse practitioner of the center, said chlamydia lives in the cervix of the female and in the urethra in the male, causing an infection. McDanal said chlamydia in males usually causes urethritis, which is an inflammation of the urethra. If not treated, it could spread to the testicles and cause another inflammation called epidiymitis which could result in sterility. In females, chlamydia usually starts as an infection of the cervix, McDanal said, and moves up the female reproductive tract causing infection of the uterus or fallopian tubes. Oleson said worldwide there have been an estimated 300 million cases of chlamydia infections. "Chlamydia is the number _ sexually transmitted disease ' i c we now see on campus, far e common than gonorrhea JU 1 genital herpes," he added. The biggest problem with chlamydia is that there are few hard statistics and many people infected have no symptoms, Oleson said. Symptoms in males usually consist of itching or burning with urination or a urethal dischard, Oleson said. In females, an itching and burning in the genitals, vaginal discharge, dull pelvic pain and bleeding between menstrual periods may occur. There are no slang names for this silent sexually transmitted disease that goes unnoticed by 60 to 80 percent of women and 10 percent of the men who have chlamydia infections. "Females may not have symptoms until the disease moves into the reproductive tract," McDanal said, "in which case they get what we call pelvic inflammatory disease, which is a disease of the uterus in the tubes." When this infection is severe, sterility can result because of scar tissue and adhesions in the reproductive organs. Besides being transmitted sexually, chlamydia can be passed from a woman to her child during "Chlamydia is the number one sexually transmitted disease that we now see on campus." birth. McDanal said that this can cause pneumonia or an eye infection called conjunctivitis. Chlamydia is hard to detect but easy to treat. Oleson said 10 to 15 years ago, the only way to diagnose the disease was by culture, and culture viruses are tricky because they require a living cell culture. However, in recent years, tests have been developed that make chlamydia screening feasible in almost any laboratory. Chlamydia is curable with the right antibiotics. Tetracycline, doxycyline or erythromycin are recommended drugs. Oleson said testing is "relatively inexpensive," and that the student health center performs testing. He said females should realize that a regular pap smear will not detect chlamydia infections and they should ask their doctors for the specific testing. "Chlamydia infections and gonorrhea exist simultaneously, and in fact, the Center for Disease Control in the United States recommends if an individual is Tee Off \Mth Munsingwear Enter Our Putting Contest Come in and try your putting skills and get a FREE pack of golf tees just for registering. 1 out of 3 wins a FREE MUNSINGWEAR® GOLF BALL 2 out of 3 wins a MUNSINGWEAR® VISOR 3 out of 3 wins a MUNSINGWEAR® KNIT SHIRT Try Your Luck Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Although gonorrhea infections , can be stopped with the use of , penicillin, chlamydia infections cannot. Medication, which is usually taken for seven days, is the only thing needed to cure chlamydia infections, unless surgical problems develop. Oleson said there have been cases on campus in which students have required surgery because of chlamydia infections.

"Of the students that we test," Oleson said, "Approximately 20 percent are infected with chlamydia."

Oleson said students who are not sexually active do not attend family planning, but the center . - will screen anyone who requests : the test.

Elkind, the 1986 Mildred Brown Davis lecturer, is a professor of child study and resident scholar at Tufts University. The author of more than 300 items, including two recent books, "The Hurried Child" and "All Grown Up and No Place to Go," Elknd is among those studying questions raised at several levels as an outgrowth of the belief that a child's developmet can be accelerated. Elkind told students and faculty Thursday night that children are being pressured and hurried to grow up at an early age. "Parents are believing that earlier is better; this puts children at a risk for no reason because there is no gain," he said. The disintegration of "progress markers," said Elkind, is a contributing factor to the problem. Elkind said the various types of markers include clothing, activity, available information and perceived images. These serve as indicators of growth, giving children, and adults, an idea of their status. For example, he said, children now dress "older" with the new designer clothes. Elkind said this gives them nothing to look forward to and can contribute to child abuse. Activity markers are also diminishing, said Elkind. One prime example, he said, is athletics. "With more than 30 percent of school children engaged in over-competitive, over-organized sports, another adolescent marker is eliminated." Information markers are dwindling as well, said Elkind. Where parents use to withhold certain information such as financial aspects and sexual facts, television now renders parents unable to control the information . The image marker is also disappearing with the portrayal of the "adultified kid" in the media, Elkind said. Many television shows are misleading, he said, because they show children handling problems in an adult-like manner. Elkind said this is "powerful and dangerous" because children must learn from adults before they can be treated as equals. Elkind said markers are not the only thing lost in hurried development. In early childhood, he said, children go through three stages of respect development. The first stage is unilateral respect, where children learn to respect adults as authorities. Next, he said, is mutual respect. Here, children learn to interact with others. Elkind said over-organization in this stage is resulting in children devoting less time to spontaneous play. This, he said, deprives them of the informal rule-making and rule-breaking games which are important to the last stage—self-respect. Elkind said the pressures on children are beginning to show. Some 40 percent of school-age children suffer from stress, he said, and even pre-schoolers are showing psychosomatic symptoms. Other alarming facts, said Elkind, include the increase in substance abuse by teenagers. More than two million teens in the United States are alcoholics, he Battered wives find safehouse The shelter is a stopping ground for battered women and their children who need a safe place to stay for a limited time, Lipshutz said. "Women will stay anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks," she said. If a woman calls the Safehouse hotline, a listener will take her name and number and call a volunteer who will get back in touch with the woman within 30 minutes. These intake volunteers are trained to listen carefully, evaluate the caller's situation and suggest the caller's options. If the caller is in physical danger, the volunteer may suggest she go to the police. Other options include going to a friend, family member, hotel or a hospital if the caller is injured. The volunteer will sometimes refer a caller to legal services, if she is seeking information about a divorce, or to the Department of Pensions and Security, where she can inquire about food stamps, welfare or protection of her children. If the intake volunteer suggests that the caller go to Safehouse, and the caller agrees, the two women will meet some place separate from the caller's home. The volunteer will take the woman and, if needed, her children to Safehouse. This is the most dangerous part - * * By Jenny Lauderdale Staff Writer Violence is a painful, terrifying phenomenon.
