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-

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.

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.

House partiers behaved
Rv By KKrriissttii FFrraanncciiss •** can in a couple of years," Rim
Staff Writer
From a second floor balcony,
one could see hundreds of stu­dents
basking in the sun between
a jam box and a well-stocked
cooler; guys with golden bodies
tossing a frisbee or funneling a
beer; a beach so crowded that
there was hardly a place to step,
much less to lie down a towel.
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. It
can be helpful to us if we use it
right.

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.

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.

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 time to
tell of your appreciation
Kim
BEST /I ' I j f .:
Sunday is Mother's Day, the time of
year when most students send a card to
good old mom, if they think about it, and
flowers, if they have some extra cash
hanging around. 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.

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.

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.

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 sincerely believe the entire matter of
the disqualification of Pat McLoughlin

and Miles Baron was the result of an
undergraduate organization making
decisions concerning matters they do
not understand.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Talladega first'
program benefits
Auburn students
By Tomie D. 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.
Their first priority, explains
Elizabeth Brown, was to explore
Talladega and assess "how it

looked to us as strangers, how it
functioned - its front door, its
back door, the patterns of move­ment
around the courthouse
square and t h e downtown
buildings."
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

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.

Opelika tuba player
chosen drum major
By Kirsten Schlichting
Assistant Technical Editor
There will be a new signal
caller in Jordan-Hare Stadium
this fall, but he isn't a football
player.
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.

New oak trees part of landscaping plan
Thach Avenue, from College
Street to Donahue Drive, will
soon be getting a row of young
oaks on either side, thanks to
alumnus Felix Cochran.
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.

She contends that a candidate
chooses what issue he supports
and what audiences he is trying

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

Because incumbents are often
shoo-ins for re-election, they

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."

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

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

be treated for gonorrhea also,"'
Oleson said.
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

"The experience is essentially
the same in college health centers -
everywhere and essentially the,.,
same in venereal disease treat­ment
centers," he added.
Oleson said students who are
not sexually active do not attend

will screen anyone who requests :

because they have been notified-.
by a partner with a chlamydia-,

Depression outcome of acceleration
Elkind
By Carol Robinson
Staff Writer
Excessive efforts to speed up a
child's development may lead to
drug use or depression in early
Shelter
adolescence, says Dr. David
Elkind, authority of child
development.
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
