More than 700 take preventive treatment
Melissa Denney
Assistant News Editor
More than 1,000 people have contact­ed
Drake Student Health Center to be
treated with intravenous antibiotics as
a preventive measure following the
death of a student with meningococcal
meningitis last week, according to Dr.
Gerald Everett.
The center has treated almost 700,
he said.
Phone system
still has kinks
Everett, the director of Drake Stu­dent
Health Center, said, "Something
like this shakes people up. It's like
rabies or AIDS or anything that is
death dealing. It gets attention."
Concern followed the death of Paul
B. Fraser, 02 AR, who died Jan. 23 of
meningococcal meningitis.
Despite rumors of other cases,
according to Everett there are none.
There was only one suspected case, he
said.
A student who had contact with the
disease and had some symptoms was
taken to East Alabama Medical Center
over the weekend, Everett said.
"She did have an examination
including a spinal tap, and after talk­ing
with the hospital officials, there is
no indication that she has anything
related to meningitis.
"The students were given a two-day
dosage of the antibiotic Rifampin. They
were given eight 300 milligram cap­sules
to be taken two every 12 hours,"
Everett said.
The medicine, which is used for long-term
treatment of tuberculosis, costs
$12 at Drake, which is below cost, and
local drug stores were selling it at cost
for $15.50, he said.
"The side effects of Rifampin are the
same as any other antibiotic, which
include diarrhea," Everett said. "It
interferes with the effectiveness of
birth control pills. Some other medica­tions
are also affected by the drug."
He said it sometimes causes nausea
and stomach cramping.
"We counseled many students, and in
the discussion, they decided that they
did not need the treatment," Everett
said.
People were counseled in groups of
15 about the background of the dis-

Auburn's phone system has
been operational for almost a
year, and it is still experiencing
difficulty.
According to the system's
director, James Stone, telecom­munications
(Telecom) receives
about 130 complaints per
month. Their system does not
allow them to distinguish
between equipment service and
complaint calls, he said.

Last March, the University
replaced its outdated piece­meal
telephone system with a
privately owned and operated
system with advanced
options, according to Director
of Telecommunications James
Stone.
"As far as I can determine,
we are very pleased with the
function and functionality of
the system," Stone said.
"It has greatly enhanced the
administrative usage options,"
he said. "This is a far more
flexible system from an

"Students most frequently
complain that they cannot
receive collect calls." If they
accept them it costs $10, he
said.
"Our computer equipment has
no way of knowing that a collect
call took place, and we have to
hire special personnel to look
them up," Stone said. "It is easi­er
to say no, and not accept any
collect calls."
Telecom Records Supervisor
Jean Chavez said another rea­son
for the complaint calls is
because "many people do not
know that if they hold on a line
for more than one minute it will
show up on their bill even if
they never made a connection."
She said the charge will be
taken off the bill if it is ques­tioned.
Student billing is set up so
one student per dormitory room
must be responsible for the ser­vice
bill, and long distance bills
are mailed to each person who
has an authorization code,
Chavez said.
University housing resident
Donna Downs, 02 GPG, said it
is confusing to have to write two
checks for your phone bill. The
billing system is not consistent
either, she said.
"I was upset when I came
back from Christmas break and
found a delinquent phone bill
that was mailed shortly after we
left. I was worried about my
credit rating."
Telecom Billing Clerk Steve
Vaughn said, "Complaint calls
were heavy concerning student
bills after the holidays because

Reservations only for Eagle's Nest
Students can't study in renovated area
Emily Riggins
Assistant News Editor
Both wings on top of Haley
Center, including the Eagle's
Nest, have been renovated, but
are open only for group and
organization use and not for
individual study use, Foy Union
Director Lowell Ledbetter said
Tuesday.
"It is j u s t like the Union
rooms. Individual students can­not
reserve the rooms," he said.
The area, including the bal­cony,
are for University recog­nized
groups on a reservation
basis, he said.
Facilities Director Stan Drake
said when the renovations were
completed, the administration
decided to control students' use
of the areas.
"It's not an effort to restrain
students from using it, but it
was done with the idea of pre­serving
it for use by the student
population," he said.
The north wing was open for
students before the renovation.
SGA President Scott Turn-quist
said students need more
study space, and one wing
should be accessible to students
as it was last year.
"I don't necessarily agree that
all of the space should be for
study space," he said, "but
maybe just half of the space.
"I think it's a nice place on
campus to go and study, and I
hate to see that change."

Students announce candidacy in SGA elections
Emily Riggins
Assistant News Editor
Two students have declared candida­cy
for SGA president on the first day
that declarations of intent were accept­ed.
Terry McCarthy, 04 FI, and Tim
Stocksdale, 04 FI, have not submitted
letters of intent, but said they are run­ning
for the office.
"I'm really excited about the cam­paign,
and I hope that people will take
a close look at candidates and the
issues instead of getting wrapped up in
the glamour of the campaign,"
McCarthy said.
McCarthy, the current SGA adminis­trative
vice president, said he was
interested in running because he had
worked on projects this year and want­ed
to ensure that they would be imple­mented
next year.
Stocksdale, SGA treasurer, said,
"It's something I've wanted to do since
I was in the Senate. I was frustrated
while I was in the Senate because I
thought I could do more, but there's a
lot of red tape.
"The president is probably the only
person who can effect any changes," he
said.
Jennifer Huddleston, director of
elections, said the application deadline
for letters of intent is Feb. 9, except for
Glomerata and Plainsman editor can­didates,
which is Feb. 6. These candi­dates
will be interviewed by the Board
of Student Communications.
The SGA will also present a referen­dum
on this year's ballot concerning
candidate GPA requirements, she said.
"We need 25 percent of the campus to
vote in order to pass the referendum,
which would change the GPA require­ment
for a student to run for an SGA
office from a 2.0 to a 2.25," she said.
Merle Flowers, 03 AEC, Leigh Ann
.Holley, 03 AC, and Greg Ledbetter, 03
MZY, are running for SGA vice presi­dent.

World
1,000 prisoners will be freed
Nicaragua President Daniel Ortega said more than 1,000
political prisoners will be freed before February's national elec­tions.
Ortega is seeking a second six-year term and asked the con­tra
rebels to release prisoners believed to have been kidnaped
by them..
In a few years, when a person
has been in a bar drinking and
he orders "one for the road," it
just might save his life.
That is what Dr. David Whit-mire,
a chemical engineer at
Auburn, said he hopes will
become of his project. He has
worked on this project the past
five years, and it will not be
completed for six to eight years.
Whitmire said he has been
working on a formula that looks
like an instant breakfast drink
but works as an alcohol neutral-izer
that accelerates the
removal of alcohol from the gas­trointestinal
track and the blood
stream by 40-50 percent.
Paul Chambers, head of
Auburn's chemical engineering
department, conceived the pro­duct's
concept.
Whitmire came to Auburn
from Clemson University to
work on the project as part of
his doctoral program.
"We worked on it in three
ways. One, we worked on it in
beakers, until we got it accept­able,"
Whitmire said. "Two, we
worked on it with computers
using computer models in decid­ing
how much of what to put in
it and simulating the process.
"And finally we worked on it
with Dr. Ray Dillon at the
Auburn Vet School in dogs,
where we actually did the exper­iments
that were reported to the
federal government."
After reporting his findings to
the government, the National
Institute on Alcohol Abuse and
Alcoholism rewarded Whitmire
with a $487,000 grant to contin­ue
his work, he said.
Whitmire said he will release
his formula as soon as he
receives a patent, but he doesn't
know when it will be because it
is up to the administration to
decide when to release it.
The formula will save about
25,000 lives a year, Whitmire
said.
"There's two uses for it. One is
obviously the use that every­body
thinks about first which is
the use in bars. The other use is
in emergency rooms where
someone might have acute alco­hol
poisoning, and there's noth­ing
you can do."
Frequently, highway accident
victims, who have consumed
alcohol, come to the emergency
rooms, he said. "It's very diffi­cult
to t r e a t a trauma case
because of the alcohol implica­tions.
"It is difficult to properly
anesthetize someone if they're
already high on alcohol. It's first
use would probably be in the
emergency room," Whitmire
said.
The formula won't be ready
for use for six to eight years
after Whitmire perfects his
product because of the Food and
Drug Administration's strict
regulations, he said.
Not much financial reward is
involved in his work as an
investigator, but that isn't a fac­tor
in his work, he said.
"I'm looking forward to the
rewards of the research," Whit­mire
said. "As a researcher,
that's your goal, and I'm looking
forward to the commercial
aspects where we might save
some lives in the emergency
rooms or bars."

Students work
to help finance
cost of college
Laura Larson
Staff Writer
Acollege education is a valuable investment.
Many Auburn students invest not only their
time and efforts in their studies, but also
their hard-earned money from jobs as they work
their way through school.
Many students help pay for their education by
taking jobs to cover the costs. Working while in
school has both advantages and disadvantages.
Dave McNeely, 03 PI, earns money through his
work in the Marines. McNeely joined the Marines
the summer after his freshman year at Auburn.
McNeely said he really wanted to join and he
wanted the extra money to help his parents with
the costs of college.
The money he earns, along with his parents' sup­port
and a trust fund, pays for most of his expenses.
McNeely spends one weekend each month in ser­vice
with the Marines, and for two weeks each sum­mer
he is required to attend annual training duty.
"I put in about 48-50 hours (each weekend),"
McNeely said. "I will owe the Marines about one
year of service when I graduate."
McNeely also takes a full class load, usually 16-
18 hours a quarter.
"Working with the Marines has given me more
motivation to get an education and to take respon­sibility.
It's really made me want a degree,"
McNeely said.
Working on weekends sometimes interferes with
studying and can be inconvenient, especially during
final exams, McNeely said.
"I just have to start studying far in advance or
rearrange my class schedule because I can't pick
the weekends when I will work," he said.
His work with the Marines provides valuable con­nections
and useful skills for his future in the real
world, McNeely said.
Laura Webb, 03 NF, takes a full class load and
works two jobs to earn money. Webb works at the
Auburn University Hotel and Conference Center as
a duty manager. She is also a sales consultant for
Mary Kay cosmetics.
She works about 15-20 hours a week and usually
takes about 16 class hours a quarter, Webb said.
She knew the director of the Conference Center
and asked him about a job. She has worked there
for about a year, she said.
Webb learned about Mary Kay through a friend
who was a consultant recruiter for the company,
she said.
The money she earns, along with a grant for her
tuition, pays her sorority expenses and gives her
spending money. She has always paid for half of the
costs of school, she said.
"I enjoy school more now because I don't have to
worry about money," Webb said.
"I have some time to study at the Conference
Center," Webb said. "I have to do well in school to
please myself and my family with my grades, and I
know that if my grades went down, I'd have to quit
my job."

Deductions save on taxes
Everette Lewis
Staff Writer
The 15th Amendment
gave Congress the
power to levy a tax on
income. Since then some peo­ple
have dreaded tax time.
It is that time of the year
again.
Any citizen of the United
States or any resident alien
who has earned a certain
amount of income must file a
tax return with the IRS. This
includes students.
A return is based on gross
income. There are 10 levels
of income for which individu­als
must file a return. Each
level is in accord with a filing
status, according to the U.S.
Master Tax Guide.
However, there are exemp­tions
and deductions that can
be used to reduce taxes.
But if the gross income test
is met, a return must be filed
even if no taxes are owed.
Even if the test is not met,
the individual should file to
get any return available.
Two of these exemptions
are a personal exemption and
a dependency exemption.
Taxpayers get a $2,000 per­sonal
exemption and a $2,000
deduction for any dependent
they claim.
"Parents in the 15 percent
tax bracket can save about
$300 for a dependency
exemption," Jayne Gunter,
certified public account
(CPA), said.
Someone is in the 15 per­cent
tax bracket when he or
she files on $30,000 or less.
"Only 15 percent is taxed,"
Gunter said.
Dependents over the age of
14 can earn $3,100 before
having to file a return. But
they do not get the $2,000
personal exemption. They do
get to claim a $500 exemp­tion.
"Education expenses are
deductible if you improve
your skill or trade," CPA
Linda Sayers said. "If a mas­ter's
degree is not required
and someone is going back to
improve skills, then they are
deductible."
However, a student's
expenses are not deducted
when learning a new trade or
pursuing the minimum
degree required for a job.
Plastic money
makes, breaks
credit records
Jennifer Ropelewski
Staff Writer
Robert Story, 04 CSE, is a full-time student;
with a part-time job, and he is $2,500 in
debt.
Story is hooked on credit cards.
"It can be addictive to be able to get what you
want and not have to pay for it," he said.
But he is paying for it. Halfway through his
senior year in computer engineering, Robert owns
nine credit cards and spends $30 a month on inter­est
charges alone.
Story is one of the many students who now have
access to credit cards. Credit card companies are.
finding that the college market is big money with
little risk, said Rose Tomlinson, assistant vice pres­ident
of On-Campus Marketing Concepts.
"Testing programs (sponsored by credit card com­panies)
proved very impressive," Tomlinson said.
"They showed that students are more credit con­scious,
more mature."
Now credit card companies are zeroing in on the
college market, Tomlinson said, and students are
gaining an advantage they have never had before.
Because of new "student only" programs that
relax requirements for acceptance, students can
establish a good credit record while still in school.
A full-time student will be automatically
approved if he has an income at least $200 over
and above his living expenses, according to Tomlin­son.
Income can include tuition, rent and allowance
as well as a salary, and no co-signer is needed, Tom­linson
said.
Companies will also check a student's credit rat­ing
at this time, Tomlinson said, which includes
checking and savings.
Getting a credit card is now much easier, but
Fred Waddell, a family resource management spe­cialist
at Auburn, advises students to learn about
credit before they apply for a card.
A student's first lesson is learning to say no,
Waddell said, because with a card a student can
always afford to buy.
"There are no restraints," Waddell said. "Only
one out of 10 students who use their card regularly
could tell me their outstanding balance at any time.
Only two out of 10 even have an idea."
Seven out of 10 students do not know their credit
balance, he said. Losing track of spending is dan­gerous,
Waddell said. A card charged up to the
limit is useless in an emergency. A $500 balance
that cannot be paid off is due next month with
about $8 interest.
Waddell said students should keep an index card
with their credit card to keep a record of their
transactions.
Credit cards have many advantages for students.
They can be used as personal identification for
cashing checks. Card holders can get cash advances
through personal teller machines. Credit cards are
incredibly convenient in emergency situations.
And credit cards can actually help you earn
money. A student can charge a jacket for $200 at
the start of a billing cycle and he does not have to
pay for 60 days, Tomlinson said. Meanwhile the
money is in savings earning interest.
But sometimes people abuse their credit.

Students, parents pay big bucks for bouncing checks
Jennifer Wynn
Features Editor
Writing a check is a sim­ple
way for college
students to pay the
expenses they face.
Unfortunately, this process
can end up costing more than
the object or service purchased
if the check bounces.
Kelly Bishop, 02 PAR, experi­enced
that process firsthand.
"I wrote a check to Domino's
Pizza for $3, and they sent it
(because it bounced) somewhere
in Columbus (Ga.) to a check
care system which charges $17
land the bank charged $12.
"After it was all over, the
pizza ended up costing about
$50," she said.
Bishop receives money from
het* parents to deposit into her
account. She bounced more than
20 checks in one month.
"Every time I deposited
money it was just paying the
service charge," she said.
"Whenever I deposited any­thing,
I was still negative."
Her parents put in an over­draft
protector to prevent her
from bouncing any more checks.
"If I bounce a check, it draws
from my parents savings," she
said. "I have to pay them back,
but it keeps me from getting an
overdraft."
Many banks have this service
which can prevent students
from overdrawing on their
accounts.
Barbara Harris of Southtrust
Bank in Auburn said, "If a per­son
is overdrawn, this service
will deposit $50 into the cus­tomer's
account.
If I bounce a check, it draws from my parents
savings. I have to pay them back, but it
keeps me from getting an overdraft.
- Kelly Bishop
"It's like a loan, and the cus­tomer
pays it back just like any
other loan."
When a deposit is made to the
account, Harris said, a payment
on the loan is also made. For
those who have the service, it
has cut down on the number of
overdrafts, she said.
"It's a lot easier to pay 50
cents a month rather than $12
per bounced check," Harris said.
Auburn Federal's Senior Vice
President Jay Dunlap said the
bank will start an overdraft pro­tection
plan soon.
"We'll pay the check...we
advance the funds, and they
repay," Dunlap said.
Mary Woodall, vice president
of Auburn National Bank, said
the bank also has ways to help
protect its clients from over­draft.
"For instance, we can transfer
the money from a savings
account," Woodall said. "If it's a
good customer who has been
with us for a long time, and if
we know we can recoup the
amount of the check, we can pay
it."
Leigh Ann Lane, 02 PRCM,
said she does not have overdraft
protection.
"That's the easy way out,"
Lane said. "My dad said I
should be responsible enough to
balance a checkbook."
Lane has bounced two checks.
"When I want a loan later on
in life, they'll see that," she said,
"and I need to keep my name
clear.
"The worst thing about it was
my dad because we have a joint
account. He's never bounced one
in his life, and when I did it had
his name on it."
Tony Godwin, 05 FI, bounced
three checks, "one a quarter for
each quarter of my freshman
year," he said.
I t was bad, Godwin said,
because his' dad works for a
bank.
"He said the next time it hap­pened,
he'd close my checking
account, and I would be working
on a cash basis," Godwin said.
Woodall said if a student sus­pects
he has insufficient funds,
he should talk to the bank.
"If someone realizes they have
lost control of the account, come
in and we can help," she said.
Harris said if you are afraid a
check is going to bounce, come
in before 11 a.m. and tell the
teller to notify the person who
handles the overdraft report.
The check will be covered.
Godwin said he realized it
cost him $45 for the three
bounced checks, and he could
have used that for something
else.
"It came out of my parents'
pockets, not mine," he said, "so I
was ripping tKem off."

Construction to ease parking crunch goes on
Parking deck could be open
by end of spring, Drake says
Bonnie Derrer
Staff Writer
The parking deck, a part of
the library expansion project,
may be open by the end of
spring, according to Stanley R.
Drake, director of facilities.
The library project, which
began May 2, 1988, is contractu­ally
scheduled to be completed
June 2,1990, Drake said.
"The parking deck is substan­tially
complete," Drake said.
Facilities is "trying to gain use­ful
occupancy of the parking
deck prior to the date of the
library (opening)."
All that remains to be com­pleted
contractually, according
to Riley, is the "rubbing of the
concrete surface in some places
that will prevent water damage
in the future and increase its
aesthetics in places."
The deck has no structural
problems, he said. "I'm extreme­ly
pleased with the progress so
far," Drake said.
"You can't start off with a
basic problem to expand a build­ing
the size of the library and
there not be some reasonable
debate between some 18 mil­lions
of dollars," he said.
"We have a number of issues
that we are seeking resolution
on, but none are unreasonable,
and there is no animosity
between the parties."
The deck is only for A and B
tags until 5 p.m. during the
week.
The original parking area
held 140 parking spaces, Drake
said. The new deck holds 343
spaces, including 10 for handi­capped
on the top level, he said.
Rhett Riley, vice president for
business and finance, said,
"Traffic can leave in three or
four directions out of the park­ing
lot and should be able to
move pretty easily."
Riley said, "People are still
trying to adjust to the closing of
Thach Avenue," which has
caused more traffic on Samford
and Magnolia avenues.
However, there won't be any
Construction on Ingram Hall,
parking lot begins this week

The parking deck will house 343 spaces, including 10
handicapped spots, for cars with A and B tags.
more closings for one or two
years, and the barriers are
mountable ramps which will be
opened during football season,
he said.
It will be difficult to get addi­tional
parking decks, Drake
said. He said the Board of
Trustees, headed by Gov. Guy
Hunt, is "not supportive of park­ing
decks as a means to solve
the parking problem."
Riley said that's why it is
important that there be few
problems with this deck.
Drake said the parking deck
fits in with the campus environ­ment.
"They (the Board) felt
that limiting the parking deck
to three levels would not be
obtrusive and not appear nega­tive
to that part of campus."
There was also the require­ment
that the total height of the
building not exceed the height of
Samford Hall, Drake said.
This rule, however, is only a
suggestion of the master plan,
and not set in stone, Riley said.
Two construction projects
totaling about $148,000 began
this week on Ingram Hall. The
University will waterproof the
building's exterior and pave the
rear parking area.
According to Cathy Love, a
civil engineer with Auburn's
Facilities Division, the water­proofing
project includes the
underground installation of cast
iron drain pipes and the appli­cation
of a sealant to Ingram's
brick exterior.
Extensive scaffolding around
Ingram on College Street and
large trenches behind it will
remain in use until March, Love
said.
Upon the waterproofing pro­ject's
completion, work on the
parking lot will begin, she said.
"Due to the close confines
(behind Ingram Hall), we've
gone with concrete paving
instead of asphalt.
"That will really dress it up

Love, the construction admin­istrator
on the parking lot pro­ject,
said the new lot will con­tain
16 B-zone spaces, two ser­vice
spaces, one handicapped
space and one dumpster space.
The lot's $90,000 price tag
includes extensive landscaping,
sod, lighting and a chain link
fence to separate Burger King

said.

Sorority
to rebuild
with rush
Annette Rogers
Staff Writer
Zeta Tau Alpha (ZTA), has
started a rebuilding campaign
which includes a special
informal rush Feb. 6-8.
"We're looking for enthusiastic
girls, and we want to give them
an opportunity to take a look at
us without the pressures of for­mal
rush."
ZTA has become the third
largest national sorority, with
more than 120,000 members. It
has been in existence nearly 100
years.
"We came up with the idea so
that we could be just as compet­itive
as other sororities on cam­pus,"
ZTA Rush Chairman Shai-ley
Keener said.
ZTA President Traci Consolini
said, "There were four Auburn
sororities that didn't make
quota. We just happened to have
a weaker rush."
Quota is the maximum num­ber
of girls Panhellenic will
allow a sorority to take during
fall rush.
The past rush chairman for
ZTA, Alice Rainess, came up
with the idea in conjunction
with the sorority's preparations
to move up to the hill dorms,
Consolini said.
The plan was taken to Pan­hellenic
Adviser Debbie Shaw
and then discussed with ZTA's
traveling leadership consultant
in early November, who present­ed
the idea to the sorority's
national consultants.
Consolini said she presented
the idea at a meeting of
Auburn's sorority presidents,
and they were supportive.
"All the sororities have been
very helpful. We weren't sure
what their reaction would be,"
Keener said.
Auburn's Panhellenic has
paid for the first two ads used to
publicize the campaign, Consoli­ni
said.
I t has taken care of the
addressing and mailing of the
invitations for the first night of
rush, Consolini said.
The informational rush party
is open to all women, but invita­tions
will be sent to those whose
names were referred to ZTA, she
said.
The sorority will take as many
pledges as Panhellenic will
allow, Consolini said. ZTA didn't
want to set an exact quota
because of the pressure it puts
on the members during rush,
she said.
"The sisters have a lot of ques­tions
(about the informal rush), .
but they've put a lot of work into
it. It was theH'entire chapters
decision," she said.

Vet School receives donation
Teddi Mallory
Staff Writer
The Alabama Academy of
Veterinary Practice donated
$2,000 to the Veterinary Medi­cal
Library, according to Mari­on
Moore, executive secretary
of the academy.
'The money will be used to
purchase journals and periodi­cals
that are currently
unavailable," she said.
"The Academy has donated
$32,000 in the past to the Vet­erinary
Medical Library for lit­erary
purchases.
"It has also donated $6,000
to the Large Animal Clinic for
a microsurgery unit in repro­ductive
research, and $2,000
has been donated to Open
House, held each spring, usu­ally
the same day as A-Day,"
Moore said.
Dean of Veterinary Medicine
Thomas Vaughan said, "The
donation reflects a commit­ment
of the Academy to meet
the growing needs of the Vet­erinary
School."
The Academy is a group of
private practicing veterinari­ans,
mostly Auburn alumni,
who have banned together for
continuing education, Moore
said.

Error causes funding cut
Sarah Ramay
Staff Writer
The Education Appropriation
Bill that Gov. Guy Hunt recom­mended
on Jan. 9 to the Legisla­ture
has already been reduced
because of an error made in the
early stages of budget planning,
President James E. Martin said
Monday.
The House Ways and Means
Committee adjusted the budget
last week because less money
will be available than originally
thought, he said.
The university presidents,
working with the Alabama Com­mission
of Higher Education
(ACHE), presented a financial
formula which was used by
Hunt when he created his bud­get
proposal, he said.
"What happened was they for­got
the FICA. ...Somebody left
the Social Security payments
out of the money the presidents
(and ACHE) were talking
about," Martin said.
The amount of money being
considered by the presidents,
ACHE and Hunt was too much,
he said.
"It was an honest mistake or
oversight," he said.
For 1990-91, the System,
including Auburn and Auburn
University at Montgomery
(AUM), had been allotted $156.9
million by Hunt.
This is an increase of $22.5
million over the $134.4 appro­priation
for 1989-90.
Also, Hunt's budget recom­mended
conditional funds of
$6.2 million for Auburn, AUM,
the Cooperative Extension Ser­vice,
the Agricultural Experi­ment
Station and the College of
Veterinary Medicine, he said.
But, Martin said there is not
much chance for any money to
be available for conditional
funding.
The final figures on the bud­get
may not be decided for a
month, Martin said. "We have
not seen what the House Ways
and Means Committee has put
in its bill, but we know it will be
lower," he said.
A 10-20 percent increase over
last year's appropriation is a
realistic expectation, Martin
said. Last year, the University
received a 1.26 percent reduc­tion
from the 1988-89 state
appropriations.
Hunt recommended a 16-18
percent increase in funding for
1990-91 over last year's figures.
"The highest priority this year
(for the increased funds) will go
-to faculty and staff salaries,"
Martin said.
"Most of the faculty and staff
have not had a salary increase
in what will be two years.
"And the net effect is we have
had a serious erosion of our
competitiveness. We have to do
something about this or we will
begin to see the loss of our most
productive employees."
Martin said Auburn has not
been mistreated by the House
Ways and Means Committee,
which is currently preparing the
bill for the Legislature.

Montgomery, Shelby, the state's
junior Senator, told the 80-per-son
audience that abortion
should'nt be used as a method of
birth control. However, he said,
"I think the family ought to
have the opportunity to make
the decision."
In addition, members of the
audience questioned Shelby on
the condition of the Middle
East, Central America and
Eastern Europe. The United
States and the Soviet Union will
both have to play some role in
lasting peace in the Middle
East, he said.
Shelby said the United States
should be concerned about the
development of nuclear weapons
in the Middle East and should
exert economic and diplomatic
influence to assure peace in the
area.
As for Central America, Shel­by
said he would vote to send
money to overthrow Communist
governments. "I have no confi­dence
in a free election there.
"If there were free elections,
the communists would be gone,"
he said.
Any action concerning the
removal of American troops
from Europe will depend on
what happens in Eastern
Europe, he said.
"I believe that we should be
very careful, but hopeful," Shel­by
said.
It will be difficult for Presi­dent
Mikhail Gorbachev to sur­vive
the political turmoil, Gor­bachev
will also have to address
the problems of the Russian
economy, he said.
The instability in the Soviet
Union makes it difficult to nego­tiate
any arms reduction, Shel­by
said.

fIcef flowing from Pacific
Debbie Ruyl
•Staff Writer
A volatile new drug, called
"ice," which is said to be more
lethal than crack cocaine, is
' making its way through the
country.
Detective Sgt. Chris Murray
.of the Auburn City Narcotics
.Division said, "It's taking off
• Hike crack cocaine did.
•.' "There have been no cases in
• ."Auburn yet and very few in
I ;the state of Alabama since this
'. ns such a new drug. But we
-'. -expect to see a lot more of it in
''. ;the near future."
i-l*. Ice, named for its crystal-
'. -like appearance, is stronger
I -than its predecessor, crack, he
• ^said.
It appeared in the United
States about one year ago.
The drug's popularity is
rapidly increasing for several
reasons, Murray said.
It is odorless, therefore it
can be smoked and not easily
detected. It can also be melted
into liquid then resolidified.
This allows easy concealing
and transportating, he said.
One reason ice is running
rampant is the longevity of the
high. Ice can give a 12- to 24-
hour high, whereas crack
cocaine may only last 20 min­utes,
Murray said. It is also
relatively cheap.
"It's no more costly than
cocaine. For $20 you could get
a high for a whole day."
Dr. Pat Ellis, director of nurs­ing
and health education at
Drake Health Center, said it is
her understanding that it can
keep the user awake, yet
cause a drastic crash when the
high ends.
Ice can also be related to
cardiovascular problems such
as heart attacks or convul­sions,
she said. There have
been cases in which users go
into a paranoia-like state,
Ellis said.
Murray said it is manufac­tured
mainly in Southeast
Asia, where it is then brought
to the United States.
"The majority of it (ice)
comes in through Hawaii," he
said. Hawaii seems to have
the primary problem in the
United States at this time.

Fake nose
sniffs out
narcotics
Valerie Smith
Staff Writer
The sweet smell of success in
detecting illegal drugs and
explosives may not be too far in
the future, thanks to an "artifi­cial
nose" being developed at
Auburn.
The Institute for Biological
Detection Systems (IBDS),
founded last October, is working
on methods to detect illegal
drugs and explosives using dogs,
ferrets and a mechanical device
nicknamed the artificial nose,
Lawrence Myers m , director of
the IBDS, said.
Myers, a doctor of neurophysi­ology,
said the D3DS is "working
on a device based on biological
means to detect a broad spec­trum
of chemical substances."
"The artificial nose would be
able to detect most chemicals in
the air and, in addition, be able
to determine how much of the
chemical was present in the
area," Myers said.
The device would be able to
detect toxic waste, food contami­nation
and environmental dam­age
as well as drugs and explo­sives,
he said.
"The nose has biosensors
which contain antibodies that
, J ' V ^ K
6* <,- - *mm^ David Cosby/staff
bond to certain chemicals, such
as cocaine molecules," he said.
The nose would be able to
detect more than just one sub­stance,
and the nose will be
more sensitive than current
detection instruments, he said.
With full funding, the nose
would be finished in about 10
years, he said.
The IBDS is also working on
improving training methods for
detection dogs and dog trainers,
Myers said.
Psychology Professor Jim
Johnston, also a member of the
IBDS, said the i n s t i t u t e is
researching current methods of
t r a i n i n g dogs to produce a
method that has "higher stan­dards
and is more efficient."
Johnson said these dogs were
popular in the detection of drugs
and explosives because in addi­tion
to having a good sense of
smell, the dogs offer protection
to the person using them.

February 1,1990 The Auburn Plainsman A-9
Groups propose budgets
John Roper
Staff Writer
The Tiger Cub, WEGL and
Circle magazine proposed new
budgets in the Board of Student
Communications' meeting on
Jan. 25.
WEGL asked for an increase
of $13,000 over last year's bud­get,
making a total of $54,372.
The student-run radio station
also requested that a recom­mendation
be made to the Con­cessions
Board that it approve
a fund for $99,000.
"Part of the money is to link
the transmitter on top of Haley
Center to our new location in
Foy (Union)," WEGL Station
Manager Robert French said.
"The rest is for the extra
equipment that is needed to
bring the studio up to date," he
said.
The Tiger Cttfc requested a
$2,211 increase Wf make its bud­get
total $32,324.
Part of this increase is
because of a 10 percent increase
in phone service bills, $65
increase in wages and a $200
flat salary for its business man­ager.
The business manager is cur­rently
paid by commission from
advertisement sales.
Circle magazine plans to have
three issues in the upcoming
year as well as printing 100
more copies of its publication,
according to the magazine's pro­posed
budget for 1990-91.
The magazine asked for
$5,792 increase in its budget.
The total budget will be
$20,272.
911 number available on campus
Richard Parker
Staff Writer
Auburn's campus now has
the convenience of 911 emer­gency
service, according to
AUPD Chief Jack Walton.
"The city of Auburn had set
up the 911 system so emergen­cy
calls would go to them," he
said.
The system was initiated on
campus to provide better
response time for AUPD offi­cers
concerning emergency
calls, he said.
The 911 calls are able to be
dispatched immediately
because the location of the
calls are displayed, he said.
AUPD has had problems
with prank calls, Walton said.
An arrest has been made
after every prank call, he said.
"If you make a prank Call to
911, you will be arrested," he
said.
The AUPD considers misuse
of the 911 emergency number
a serious offense, Walton said.
tfd
Pharmacy should open today
Mary Orndorff
Staff Writer
More than five months and
several legal tie-ups later, the
Drake Student Health Center
Pharmacy is expected to open
today, according to Mark Mor­gan
of Toomer Drugs, one of the
parties in the pharmacy's new
joint contract.
The University reached an
agreement with Toomer Drugs
and Glendean Drugs Inc. to take
over the campus pharmacy after
its closing on Aug. 10.
The previous operator, Donald
Canaan, was dismissed for inef­ficient
operation. Morgan said
the pharmacy's assets have
been tied up in court ever since.
Ted Brown, Auburn's purchas­ing
director, said, "(The con­tract)
was sent to the Universi­ty's
legal counsel for review and
comment and has now been
picked up by Toomer's and Glen-

"We are now waiting to get

as we are to get it open."

said, "we'll be able to open
Feb. 1.

Monday, February 5 4:00 Union Gallery
Ms. Siegel teaches at New York University and is dance

and its relationship to the other arts. In 1988-89 she lectured
in Finland, England, and several Asian countries for the
State Department. Her full length works include Watching
the Dance Go By (Houghton-Mifflin. 1977). The Shapes jof

White said he heard three
shots but was later told that five

who lived in the apartment
where the shooting happened
has moved out.
No arrests have been made,
according to the statement. The
case will go before the grand

continued from A-l
the bills were not sent out
until students had left for the
break." He said that was their
regular billing cycle.
University housing resident
Kellie O'Donnell, 03 CSFE,
said, "I would like to be able to
choose my own long distance
company. I think it is unfair
that the University makes
that choice for us."
According to Stone, the long
distance service, like any other
state service, was bid on and
the University accepted the
lowest price.
Students did not have to pay
i n s t a l l a t i on fees for their
phone system as they did in
the past, he said.
"Student bills' are handled
just like any other University
charge and are handled by
University personnel," Stone
said, "and delinquent bills are
sent to the Bursar, and a stu­dent
cannot register until it is
paid.
"We attended many sessions
and seminars about student
billing and were told that stu­dents
were notorious for not
paying bills, but that has not
been the case at Auburn."
Telecom Customer Service
Supervisor Ethel Torbert said,
"Administration and faculty
complaints are usually not
equipment related.
"Most are just complaining
about too many digits in the
authorization code and confu­sion
about the features of the
telephone."
Management of Information
Systems Professor Houston
Carr said, "It is not obvious to
the faculty how to use the
(telephone)." The added fea­tures
are nice, but the tele­phone
instrument could be a
lot easier to use.

"NOT FOUR tf EARS, BUT A LIFETIME"
2 students have declared
candidacy for president
continued from A-l
"Everyone is working hard
right now toward the campaign.
And everything we do will be in
the best interest of Auburn,"
Flowers said. t \
Holley has submitted a leter
of intent and said, "Being from
Auburn, I've watched the school
grow from the perspective of a
student and as a member of the
community. There are a lot of
changes that I see could be
made."
Ledbetter said, "I've been
involved since I was a freshman
through various committees and
by being on Senate and the SGA
cabinet."
One student, Mark McKin-non,
04 AC, has signed up to
run for treasurer, but he has not
turned in his letter of intent.
"I worked in the treasurer's
office as assistant, and I enjoyed
working there. My major is
accounting and I enjoy the
financial aspect of working in
the treasurer's office," McKin-non
said.
Wade Williams, 02 GJM, is
running for Plainsman editor.
"I decided to run because it
has been a goal I've had for the
past two years, and I've put a
lot of time in preparing for that
goal," he said.
As of press time no students
had signed up to run for an
office in the agriculture, human
science or forestry departments.
The following are school offi­cer
candidates:

Renovations complete
continued from A-l
not used for study as much as
the Haley Center lounge area.
"I wouldn't think that the
area upstairs would accommo­date
enough study space to be
significant," he said.
The sliding doors, except for
one, that lead outside to the roof
have been removed, he said.
Floor and window coverings,
new lighting and a new ceiling
have been installed, Drake said.
"We also added a shading
material on the windows to pre­vent
the effects of ultra-violet
light from causing deterioration
of the furniture," he said.
The south wing is equipped
with sinks and a microwave
that will be used for catered
luncheons, he said.
The north wing will be used
for group meetings, he said.
"We tried to provide for as
much flexibility in the use of the
space as we could," he said.

SO MUCH FOR THE EAGLE'S NEST, Auburn's
highest study area. That bird has flown. Renova­tions
to the north and south wings have created a
better place for organizations and groups to hold meetings
and luncheons — all a t the low, low cost of a reservation.
Meanwhile, students who used the area as a place to
study are out in the cold, or at least in Haley's basement
study area. Administrators say study space won't take a
hard blow by t h e closing, but t h a t has not been t h e Eagle's
Nest's only function.
The elite use of the area also means tough luck to the
many people who thought of the Eagle's Nest as a tradi­tional
place get away, even if j u s t to take a look over the
campus and reflect.
The renovations were needed and the space should get
use from campus organizations and other groups, but one
should not have to be a member of a n organization to
reserve space. A compromise should be made to accommo­date
individual students as well.
Men at work?
GIVE US OUR BUILDINGS, will you please?
I t has been months since the first shovel broke
ground on the library parking lot and many more
since funds were approved for t h e new business school, yet
one is still awaiting completion and the other has not even
been started.
Students and faculty cannot help but wonder what is
taking the University so long to complete these projects.
Considering the time that has passed for them, it's sur­prising
the projects aren't in use.
From history we know t h a t when the University wants
something completed quickly, it is done immediately. Look
at the speed in which the Alumni Center or the Hotel and
Conference Center were finished.
Since completion dates are rarely met at Auburn, asking
for a estimate seems futile. And it should come as no sur­prise
t h a t the red tape t h a t binds is stuck somewhere
between the president's office and t h e facilities division.
So let's make haste not waste, Auburn, and transform
the red tape into the cutting ribbon.
'Good news...1
ACING THE PROBLEM OF DRUNK DRD7ING
head on, Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike) fraternity recently
made a move worthy of repeating on Auburn's cam- F
pus.
In addition to providing sober drivers at parties where
alcohol is served, the chapter has adopted a beeper system
that allows brothers to be "on call" as sober drivers.
As expected, the system costs more than just keeping
designated drivers hanging around, but it is a realistic
way of dealing with the hassle of finding the drivers since
they aren't bound to be near the party, j u s t a phone.
Pike has set a fine example by implementing the system
and making use of it. Any organization t h a t serves alcohol
at an event should consider following their lead for the
safety of those a t the party and on the streets.
IN THE DAYS THAT FOLLOWED last week's tragic
death of Paul B. Fraser, 02 AR, Drake Student Health
Center administered approximately 700 preventive treat­ments
to students who may have been exposed to the dis­ease
t h a t killed Fraser, meningococcal meningitis.
The health center succeeded in counseling many stu­dents
about the disease while keeping panic at a mini­mum./
The professio/ials at Drake deserve commendation
for.their hard work and dedication.
I was 20 when 20 wasn't cool
Not to beat a dead horse, but I
turned 21 two weeks ago, and
I'm just not thirsty anymore.
OK, OK, let's go back.
So I was 20, right? It seemed
like all the cool people were 21.
And me? UNDERAGE. Got that
star on my license to prove it.
So I went searching, right?
Searching for someone who
looked "just like me." I found
her. I used her ID. I was cool.
The ID wasn't a perfect
match, of course. Meg was four
inches shorter than me, and I
had a lot of explaining to do
before the bouncer accepted it. I
said it was an old ID. I grew.
Lay off.
After making me recite the
address on the ID, he did lay off,
and in I went. I might as well
have been legal. And what do I
order? Club soda with lime.
No one was surprised. I didn't
go to drink. I just wanted to get
into a "legal" place.
But that was the last time I
used a fake ID. I began to worry
about things - the law and such.
It had already been too close.
So now I'm 21, and the thrill
is gone. In fact, my whole per­spective
has changed.
The "legal" places I always
wanted to visit turned out to be
pick-up joints exclusively for
people who prefer to seek com­panionship
through a magazine.
This I discovered when my
favorite blond friend and I hit
one of those surly meat markets
- American Pie - while bar-hop­ping
in Atlanta last weekend.
We were immediately off to a
bad start when the front-door
folks didn't card us. Great. All
these years waiting to be 21 so I
can show legal ID, and they
don't card me.
So in we go, dodging all that
is crude just to be "legal."
Then, passing by the bar,
some man stops us to say, "Hey,
have you met me?"
"Why? Are you important?"
my witty, blond friend replies.
And it only got worse.
In fact, about the only person
worth talking to that evening
was the parking valet. Needless
to say, we were home before
midnight.
So turning 21 wasn't all it was
cracked up to be. I no longer-care
about being legal to buy
alcohol anymore. Wanting to
before was merely because I
couldn't. But that's another col­umn.
Just the same, I think I'll be
content using my ID to get in to
bars, then ordering club soda
with lime.
Auburn showing signs of times
It was definitely not the best
way to start the week.
Roused from some late-night
studying/slumbering by the
sounds of piercing sirens about
3 a.m. early Monday a fraterni­ty
brother and I walked quickly
over to the source of the sounds
to get a scoop on the commotion.
With a couple of police cars, two
ambulances and a paramedic's
truck we figured it had to be
something serious.
What we saw was a policeman
entering a room with a shotgun,
so we quickly decided to be
smart and move out of the range
of any stray bullets.
Someone was helped into the
back of an ambulance and then
one of the police cars left. We
figured it was just some
insignificant incident, and we
went back home. In the morning
we found out somebody had
been shot and killed.
This past weekend, 11 gang
members were arrested by
Auburn police after harassing a
A PauI

Assistant
couple of high school students at
the Village Mall, and in sepa­rate
incidents, police in Lee
County confiscated more then
$20,000 in cocaine and marijua­na.
Is this the start of a dreaded
crime "wave" in Auburn?
There are more reports of
thieves crossing over to the cam­pus
to steal radios and stereo
equipment, police said, and the
ultimate goal is pawning it for
crack money. Of course, gang
members are suspected in some
of these instances.
While this is old news for
those from big cities, local police
are disturbed that this is get­ting
increasingly more common
in our little academic island
known as Auburn.
Students have always been
the easy prey for break-ins, but
is there more to the crime
spree? Gangs hit a peak in
Birmingham this summer with
an increase in drive-by shoot­ings,
robberies and drug busts.
Now I don't think Auburn will
ever see anywhere the crime
intensity of any big city, but I
don't think the recent problems
need to be overlooked. But
Auburn is definitely not a
sleepy, rural hamlet safe from
big city crime problems.
The number of reported
break-ins increased during the
past four or five breaks, some
University policemen I talked to
said, and students from around
campus will back that up. The
thefts included clothing, televi- .
sions and other personal items.
And most of the items are being
sold to buy one item, according
to police - crack.
Even worse, some police are
expecting the next big drug fad,
Ice, to hit Auburn maybe as
soon as next fall. Ice, a form of
crystallized speed that is hitting
the West hard, is already
spreading to the Southeast.
The best deterrent University
police said they have for keep­ing
gang members and these
drug-related crimes away from
campus is by issuing trespass
warnings.
The AUPD gives in the neigh­borhood
of some 1,000 warnings
a year of this nature. The police
may give these warnings to
those persons on campus who
have no connection with the
University, no sporting ticket or
purpose for being on the cam­pus.
University policemen said
this has helped keep known
offenders and troublemakers of!'
campus.
Monday saw Auburn stare
violent crime right in the face.
Let us all hope this is not the
start of a new pattern here on
the Plains.

How you stand: where you sit
Perceptions.
They are worse than opinions.
They will make the mind do
funny things. Forget. Recon­struct.
Delete.
With minorities, perceptions
are even worse. Especially,
blacks. If, in fact, it is still possi­ble
to classify them as a minori­ty.
There was a time in history
when this group was unfairly
treated, perhaps, clinically
abused.
Today, these abuses are being
used as a tool. A tool for decom­posing
any rationale that oppos­es
them.
For example, let's examine
the black's position in the Mari­on
Barry case. Supporters (pre­dominantly
black) are scream­ing
that Barry was unduly scru­tinized
because he was black.
I can understand the want to
defend your fellow man, but
immediately accusing a white
man isn't going to eliminate the
white rocks he smoked.
Barry was nailed because he
was a public figure, a politician
and, of course, a citizen. Fact:
He broke the law. Fact: Once he
is perceived as a lawbreaker, he
must live with the scrutiny that
accompanies it.
It is obvious that the black
supporters have ignored Miese
facts. They have also ignored
the other white men who experi­enced
the like of Barry's situa­tion;
John Tower, Jim Wright
and Gary Hart. This fine bunch
of homeboys are just as much
scum as Barry. Right? Well, it
depends on how you perceive it.
Blacks have achieved a status
in today's society where excuses
will only set them back. Like
Jesse Jackson suggests, working
hard and getting educated will
establish you as an individual.
Hence, race will rarely enter the
picture.
OK. Wait a minute. Have I
forgotten to mention that I'm a
middle class, Anglo-Saxon,
male. That might enter into my
perception schematic.
Because I am not black, it is
easy for me to be critical of
these activities or perceptions
and, perhaps, the entire race.
Although I have never consid­ered
myself a racist or been the
victim of racism, I have exer­cised
or experienced some
degree of discrimination from
day to day. We all do.
And it is from these experi­ences
that I base my criticisms.
Yet, I can't help but wonder
what other minorities could
learn from these examples.
Whether the minority is related
to race, gender, religion, et ah,
the results are still the same.
People will continually per­ceive
anything they don't under­stand
as wrong. But when you
establish yourself on an individ­ual
basis, it is then when you
will no longer be classified with
the given minority.
Perhaps we all^vill eventually
learn this.

Basketball needs support
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am a season ticket holder
for Auburn football and bas­ketball
and j u s t wanted to
comment on the student sup­port,
especially for the basket­ball
program.
For those students, alumni
and fans who have missed the
last two basketball games, you
have really missed some
excitement. Coach Tommy Joe
Eagles and this team will cer­tainly
give you some excellent
entertainment.
The students and fans who
have attended are getting
involved in the game and giv­ing
the team a lift when they
need it.
What does disturb me is to
see so many empty seats, espe­cially
on the student side. All
of the student organizations
such as fraternities, sororities,
clubs, etc., should encourage
their members to support the
team by attending the games.
I can understand a student
who needs to study or must be
working not being able to
attend; however, I feel the
majority just need to get the
Auburn spirit and support our
teams with your attendance at
the game.
We're very fortunate at
Auburn to have fine coaches
like Coach Dye, Coach Eagles,
their staffs, and all the other
sports' coaches. Let's get
behind them 100 percent with
our attendance at all the
games we can make.
A group of us has to drive
over 200 miles, but we try to
make every home game. We
certainly haven't been disap­pointed
in the effort given by
this Auburn basketball team.
It's great to be an Auburn
Tiger. War Eagle!

Abortion a man's issue, too
Editor, The Plainsman:
In recent weeks I have
become more than a little per­turbed
at the outbreak of
"male bashing syndrome,"
manifesting itself in Paige
Oliver's column on Jan. 18,
"Ignoring it can make it go
away," and again in a letter to
The Plainsman on Jan. 25.
I am referring to Oliver's
objection to decisions on abor­tion
being made by a group of
largely male politicians, her
sentiments being echoed by a
letter that read, "...a room full
of men arguing the rights of
women seems terribly illogi­cal."
What would those women of
this opinion have us do, elect
some special chamber com­posed
entirely of women who
would legislate "women's
rights"? I'm sorry, but our Con­stitution
doesn't provide for
this.
I would like to inform those
women of this opinion that if
they do not like the male-to-female
ratio in the legislature,
they can change it by voting in
women, and there's nothing we
lowly men can do about it.
It is a scientific fact that
women outnumber men on this
planet, the numbers being
approximately 52-48 percent.
I dare say that if I had
uttered a statement expressing
my disdain for women in the
legislature making decisions
for us men, I would have been
labeled as a "conservative," a
"redneck" or a "male chauvin­ist
pig."
Abortion is not just a wom­en's
issue, because if it were,
whether a woman decides to
abort her pregnancy or not, a
man will have to pay half the
abortion cost or half the sup­port
of the child - a sort of tax­ation
without representation,
wouldn't you say?
Let's stop the male bashing.
I'm not for "men's rights" or
"women's rights." I'm for "peo­ple's
rights."

Miss AU Tan exploitative
Editor, The Plainsman:
I know it's Winter, and what
you are about to read may
sound odd, but now is the time
for all concerned folks at
Auburn to think about the
Miss AU Tan contest.
Somewhere, someone is
planning. Somewhere, some­one
is tanning; all with the
hopes of achieving the ulti­mate
success — a well-attend­ed,
well-publicized, harmless
charitable event.
To those planning and tan­ning
already, please put down
your pencils and turn off your
tanning lamps long enough to
read this letter and do a little
critical thinking.
What sort of values are you
promoting? A quick answer
might be "good clean fun for
charity." But let's think more
•critically.
I will grant that it may be
fun for some males bent on
satisfying their hormonal
urges. It may gratify the egos
of a few of the girls who win
prizes. The contest may even
raise some money for someone
in need.
But in reality it is not good.
It is not clean. And the long-term
consequences are less
than charitable.
To promote and encourage
this contest is to promote and
encourage exploitation of
women as nothing more than
sex objects.
Is it good to degrade another
human being for money?
Some think so - they still see
the contest as wholesome.
To those with this difficulty,
I want to challenge you to
bring your parents to such a
contest. If you are going to pro­mote
it as wholesome, why
don't you bring your 10-year-old
sister too.
Maybe you would like to get
her to enter next year's contest
so a bunch of screaming males
can lust after her also?
It bothers me still that
Auburn University has its
name associated with the con­test
by the promoters christen­ing
it "AU Tan." I may be
wrong, but I don't think that
such exploitive parades of half-clothed
females have tradition­ally
been associated with insti­tutions
of higher learning.
Some may argue that the
contestants themselves don't
feel exploited by the event, but
gratified instead, and they
may add that the contest rais­es
needed money for charity.
Whether or not the contes­tants
feel exploited is not an
issue. This attitude does not
consider every woman in the
community who is affected by
their lewd behavior and in
turn may find themselves vic­tims
of other forms of exploita­tion.
Furthermore, exchanging
money for morality has never
benefited a community. The
people as a whole suffer in the
long run. There must be better
ways to raise charity. Ban AU
Tan.

Glance back
5 years ago, 1985: One of the oldest houses in Auburn, the Scott-Yarbrough House, was donated
by Auburn National Bank to the Auburn University Foundation. The historic residence, known
today as Pebble Hill, would be used as guest quarters for distinguished visitors to the University.
10 years ago, 1980: The annual SGA Red Cross blood drive held in Auburn fell short of the 4,000
pint goal by 1,136 pints, forcing Red Cross to go to Montgomery and Birmingham to make up for
the loss.
20 years ago, 1970: Approximately 13,000 teacher course evaluation forms were distributed with
The Plainsman in cooperation with the SGA Teacher Course Evaluation Committee. Fall quarter
200-level course instructors for all schools except Veterinary Medicine and Graduate School were
evaluated.

Letters
Someone speaks for unborn
Editor, The Plainsman:
This is the first letter I have
ever written to a newspaper.
Because of my conscience and
convictions, I feel I must
answer Paige Oliver's, "Ignor­ing
It Can Make It Go Away."
She states, "these are crucial
times when every voice
counts." Well, I would like for
my voice to count in a rebuttal
of her article. First, the
Supreme Courts decision to
pass abortion laws to individu­al
states is nothing new. The
states held this right up until
1973.
She states that "The Chil­dren's
and Mother's Life and
Protection Act" is an infringe­ment
on women's rights.
She states that this bill "is
shocking," only allowing abor­tions
to be used on rape, incest
victims, and in cases where the
mother's life is in danger.
Abortion is not a choice for
the woman's convenience. It is
not a form of birth control.
Birth control, or contraception,
is meant to prevent new life
from beginning. Abortion
destroys life that has already
begun.
What about the government
having no business interfering
in this private matter?
The abortion issue crosses
all racial lines. It is not a
Catholic, or protestant, or Jew­ish
issue. It is not a black or
white or brown issue. It is a
human life issue, one that goes
to the very foundation of our
civilization.
Many people without any
religious belief whatsoever arel
opposed to abortion on scientif­ic
and moral grounds.
I agree with the editor on
one fact. The abortion issue is'
an issue that can't be ignored.; -
That unborn baby can't be. •
ignored; someone has got to
speak for him.

Christianity not corruption
Editor, The Plainsman:
When I read the Plainsman
article, "Televangelists prayed,
preyed and paid," it was like
the final breaking of my heart
as to what our society is believ­ing,
or, in this case, is not
believing!
Christianity does not mean
corruption: if most of the world
believes Christianity is corrup­tion,
they're incorrect. It is
only when we put our faith in
men that corruption arises.
Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swag-gart,
etc., are all mere men,
not God. But so many of us
believe that they are God and,
therefore, make no mistakes.
Well, they are human, and
I'm sure they didn't begin their
ministries with the intention
of committing any type of
fraud - especially if their eyes
were truly on Christ.
However, when tempted long
enough, they may have just
lost focus on all Godly perspec­tives.
These men had great Chris­tian
ministries, when keeping
Godly perspectives, but they
got caught up too much with
themselves and the world.
Therefore, we should not
view Christianity as corrup­tion:
Christ didn't come to
cause corruption, He came out
of love and peace to offer us
happiness and offer it eternal- -
ly.

'Love thy neighbor as thyself
Editor, The Plainsman:
Two weeks ago while I was
browsing through The Plains­man,
I saw Michael Gordon's
article entitled "Deal with life
through reason not blind igno­rance."
I thought to myself "Another
one of those long-haired liber­als
trying to tell us how to live
our lives," and turned the page
without giving it a second
thought.
Last week after Mark
Rodgers lambasted Gordon for
the views expressed in that
column, I decided to read it for
myself.
Were these the views of some
long-haired liberal? Possibly.
Was Gordon trying to tell us
how to live our lives? Yes,...
and no.
I do not believe Gordon's
statement, "it is best to experi­ence
it, come to understand it,
and then decide whether to
give it any attention," was
meant to be read as literally as
Rodgers apparently read it.
Must we all jump off Haley
Center to experience death
before we can understand'
death? Let's hope not. Must we
all become homosexuals in
order to understand homosex­uality?
Again, no.
So what did Gordon mean?
Maybe he meant that we
should not be afraid to let peo­ple
who are dying or homosex­ual
or whatever, into our circle
of friends. Through them we
can experience death, homo­sexuality,
or whatever, through
their eyes.
Maybe some of these things
aren't for you or me, but the
experience we gain through
them helps us to get along
with those people whose views
are different from yours or
mine.
After all, doesn't "love thy
neighbor as thyself imply that
we should take the time to
understand these other points
of view, even though they are
different from ours?

A-14 The Auburn Plainsman February 1,1990
Cards give charge to life
continued from. A-3
"They use a credit card like a
junkie uses cocaine," Waddell
said. "They handle being upset
ior lonely by going out and using
Jheir credit card. It gets to be a
disease."
J Abuse of credit could lead to
problems with creditors. Collec­tion
efforts (usually reported to
the Credit Bureau after two
months of non-payment) stay on
record for seven years.
When a student applies for a
loan, recorded collection efforts
can seriously decrease their
chances of receiving it.
Credit card companies can
influence a student's record,
Tomlinson said. If a student has
a Visa card and he pays his bills
on time, either in full or the
minimum payment, then he
establishes an excellent credit
reference. He can get a house or
car loan with that reference,
Tomlinson said.
The University will soon have
a credit counseling service,
Waddell said. The Family
Finance Management Center,
scheduled to open in a couple of
months, will offer free financial
counseling for faculty and stu­dents,
he said.
"Most students use their cred­it
wisely," Tomlinson said.
"Students should treat their
cards like a checkbook. The
problem is when they let things
mount up. It is something they
have to treat very carefully."
Phone system on line, director says
continued from A-l
^administrative perspective.
"We believe that the costs of
Ithis system in the long run
."will be the most economical
;choice that could have been
;made.
"All buildings were totally
-rewired, all equipment and
wiring became University
•property."
The previous wiring was
•installed in bits and pieces
^throughout the century and
idid not all belong to the Uni­versity,
Stone said.
The 1984 divestiture of the
AT&T corporation into many
different competing compa­nies
caused the University
and other institutions which
are subject to the state bid
law, to have to look at more
than one source for their
telecommunications, Stone
said.
The University purchased a
South Central Bell system, he
said. South Central Bell
installed the system and still
maintains it, he said. It was
competitively bid, and they
were the lowest bidder, he
said.
A consulting firm was
brought in at that time, he
said, which recommended
that Auburn install an auto­matic
private branch
exchange (PBX).
The firm also recommended
that the wiring be put under­ground
and consideration be
given to certain media for the
anticipated growth of data
connections.
A PBX allows an institution
to have privately owned and
operated telecommunications
systems, he said.
"This new phone system
should easily take us into the
next century with no difficulty
at all," Stone said.
In the '70s, student on-cam-pus
housing was part of the
University's phone system,
but because of the escalation
of pricing, the University
stepped out of the student res­idents'
phone service, Stone
said.
700 receive medicine
continued from A-l
ease, symptoms and treat­ment,
he said. No one was
refused treatment.
Beta Theta Pi brother
Robert Minor, 03 LCJ, said,
"They sat us down in a room
and tried to talk us out of tak­ing
the treatment."
He said the pills made him
drowsy, but he did not experi­ence
any other side effects.
Everett said, "Usually the
symptoms (of the disease) are
the same as you have for strep
throat, flu, bronchitis or
mononucleosis. In the early
days you have fever, sore
throat, malaise and cough.
"Then you separate the flu
and meningitis, which usually
have a high fever, marked
cough and vomiting for a few
more days. Then meningitis
becomes separated because
the headache becomes unbear­able
and a stiff neck develops,
and you become a bed
patient."
Fraser's case was a rapid,
non-typical case, Everett said.
The normal case lasts more
' than five days. Fraser had an
active weekend before his
death, Everett said.
Last Monday Fraser said he
did not feel good, Everett said.
Last Tuesday he went to
Auburn Family Medical Care
and died later at East Alaba­ma
Medical center.
"It would be a good bet that
he contracted it from a student
carrier, either in the School of
Architecture or in his fraterni­ty"
Being a ca7rier does not
mean that you will get the dis­ease,
he said.
"The incubation period is
from two to 10 days, with the
average being three to four
days," Everett said. The 10-
day incubation period ends
Friday.
If there are no more infec­tions,
he said, "We can rest
assured that the infection is
over."
Working funds education
continued from A-3
The jobs are teaching her a
lot about skills in public rela­tions
that will help her in the
future, she said.
Other students earn money
by working for the University.
The financial aid department
has a placement service to
help students locate jobs.
Christy VanderWiele, 03 IB,
works at the Foy Union infor­mation
desk. She applied and
was interviewed for her posi­tion
through the student
placement service.
VanderWiele decided to get a
job to earn extra spending
money and to help make ends
meet, she said.
"It's a convenient job, and
they work' my hours around
my schedule," VanderWiele
said. "It's not an ordinary job
because every day is different.
I thought it would be a fun
and exciting job.
"My job makes me appreci­ate
my education more. It
gives me a greater apprecia­tion
for my parents, and it
makes me budget my time."
She takes 16-18 hours of
class and works an average of
10 hours a week.
"My grades would probably
be about the same even if I
didn't work, because I would
find some other way to spend
my time," VanderWiele said.

Author Accelerates Twice Time's Speed into Motionless Fame
Scott Wilkerson
Staff Writer
Ti
cott Bradfield's
first novel, The
History ofLumi­nous
Motion, is
the story of an 8-
year old boy's
struggle to make
sense of his exis­tence
as it inter­sects
restaurants,
his mother, her alcoholism, the distant
father, the California landscape, sex, love
and the shape of the self.
The book's release, late last year by the
Alfred A. Knopf Publishing Company, sig-nalednew
movement in this young Amer­ican
novelist and short story writer's
career.
A new collection of his short fiction,
tentatively titled, Dream of the Wolf and
another novel currently demand much of
his time, but last week, from his home in
Connecticut, he discussed his own experi­ences
as a writer and reflected upon the
writing condition.
Like Phillip Davis, his novel's main
character, Bradfield was born and raised
in California, but insists that because he
is not as autobiographical as some writ­ers,
the relationship is tenuous.
"Writers must, to some extent, write
about what they know," he said. "My
novel is not incidentally autobiographical,
but in the sense that Phillip may articu­late
some of my own feelings or percep­tions,
he is a part of me, even if he is a
child."
Bradfield's prose has been described as
edgy, lyric, mesmerizing and haunting,
but he said stylistic modes are special
arguments for particular situations and
vary necessarily with the nature of his
fiction. HyP
"The voice in The History of Luminous
Motion is less my own and more
Phillip's," he said. "I hope my book of
short stories will show that my narrative
style changes to answer the needs of each
story. But, again, we are reminded of
that connection between creator and the
created.
"Phillip's voice is appropriate to his
narrative," Bradfield said. "Children are
veiy philosophical creatures, given to a
great deal of fantastical inquiry. 'What is
the universe like?' 'What is the universe,
in fact?' "Why are we here?'
"His idea of perceiving the world in
terms of inertial forces, of motion, his
need to measure, to quantify and his need
to think about the geography of his prob­lems,
is a way of getting at what it is like
being a child, what it is like being inter­ested
in literally everything."
In Luminous Motion, Bradfield uses a
combination of carefully orchestrated
metaphors and a knowledge of the middle
class cultural mind to produce a convinc-
C hi Id re IT are very philo­sophical
creatures, given to
a great deal of fantastical
inquiry.

ing text. This, he said, does not betray the
incredible difficulty of employing the first
person point of view.
"It's hard to tell a story in the first per­son
because you get tangled inside the
voice, fall victim to its quirks and exter­nal
events become progressively more
inaccessible," he said. "I always warn
writers, especially if they are still in the
learning stage, to use the third person. It
is so much easier and safer."
Speaking of writing as a way of life,
Bradfield agreed with the notion that the
act is never complete or perfect and that
better writing means making better mis­takes.
"I never attended writing workshops in
college and am not certain writing can be
taught," Bradfield said. "It can certainly
be improved through seminars in which
students get an immediate response from
their colleagues, and part of my job at the
University of Connecticut is conducting
those kinds of classes.
"My interest in that setting is working
out technical problems, just refining the
mechanics and encouraging the students'
reactions. I find that the smallest and
often most tedious aspects of the craft are
most important."
Bradfield said he is satisfied with the
critical response to Luminous Motion and
is excited about his future publications.
"It is hard to tell exactly how well my
novel is selling, but the people at Knopf
seem pleased. It will take some time to
know the real results.
"The paperback is due out in about six
months and there is, of course, my short
story collection, scheduled for a fall
release, which I regard as the heart of my
work. Those stories have been with me
for many years."
Bradfield, with his first novel behind
him, said it is important to retain a sense
of newness, of risk in the work. That
necessity, set against the capriciousness
of the publishing industry creates for
writers a reality as peculiar as their own
fictions.
'The literary market is a strange place.
These days, unlike the '40s and '50s, it is
much harder to get a short story pub­lished
than a novel.
"Writing is a spooky profession," Brad­field
said. "The scary part is when you are
not writing. I try to produce something
every day, even if it is terrible or merely a
revision of the previous day's work.
"As you get used to doing something, it
becomes less exciting, less interesting and
more sophisticated. And becoming sophis­ticated
requires a clinical organization
that I do not have, which may be why I
prefer to make a lot of characters bum-blers
like myself." Ti

African art evokes spirituality
"Maiden Masks"
fromAgbogho
Mmuo is part of
the evocative
African art in
. the exhibit.
* . i
Evocative Images is a breath-taking
glance into the lifestyle of a people
united in body and spirit. The 85
pieces of sculpture chosen for this
exhibit display this far better than
words.
The display is part of a one-of-a-kind
collection of African art and heritage
acquired between 1891 and 1982.
The sculptures combine to give the
viewer a detailed insight into the spiri­tuality
of a people of a foreign land and
a common spirit. This exhibition is
divided into three segments.
The African art represents the life of
the men of that culture. Their sculp­ture
is based on practical objects of
daily living and is a means by which
they preserve tradition.
Though these figures are not meant
to resemble any one person, the fea­tures
of the people — the large noses,
pressed lips and bulging eyes — are as
identifiable as names.
The art of the Africans is meant to
teach the young the customs of the
people, to keep in touch with the spiri­tual
world which regulates their lives
and to flaunt wealth and prestige.
Many of these pieces are thought to
be made in the representation of the
various gods they worship. Most of

these carvings are made of wood from
a tree cut just for that purpose.
Living in a society free of technologi­cal
advances, these people have an
authentic knowledge of the natural
beauty of the earth in its natural form.
Although Evocative Images represents
the lifestyles of this people, it details
the primitive lifestyle from which all
men descend.
None of the works are accredited to a
single artist, but rather a generaliza­tion
of the life of every African. The
sculptors never intended for their work
to be admired by people from all lands.
The emotions brought out by this
exhibition gives the title the appropri­ateness
of not only the work of these
people, but the experiences of the
lifestyle that motivates them.
