              Trey Ireland wins SGA presidency
After a long arduous week of
shaking hands, answering ques­tions
and voicing opinions, candi­dates
anxiously stood at Graves
Ampitheater while the long-awaited
results were announced.
By an almost 2 to 1 margin,
Trey Ireland clinched the SGA
presidential with 2,166 votes,win-njlng
over his closest opponent,
Jeff Angermann who received
1,089 votes.
Ireland cited the key to his
victory as "the people who work­ed
with me, the people who helped
me, and the Lord." He said he had
"a lot of ideas" for cabinet posts
and future plans, "but, I don't
want to say anything yet."
Angermann said he thought the
race was "clean" and wished
Ireland the "best of luck."
The vice presidency was claim:
ed by Scott Smallwood with 58.9
percent of the vote. His opponent,
Steve Lewandowski, landed 41.1
percent.
Smallwood said he was "look­ing
forward" to working with
Ireland. "It's really a privilege to
be in now. I'm also looking
forward to working with the new
president (Funderburk) and ori­enting
him to the SGA and maybe
getting some of the negative vibes
out."
In a close race, Echo Annette
Montgomery won the Glomerata
editorship with 2,305 votes, 52.9
percent, over Chris Linhart who
received2,953 votes, 47.1 percent.
Montgomery's plans for next
year's staff to have "an open door
policy. I want the staff to be a lot
more open."
Scott Thurston will be the next
Plainsman editor, winning with
63.5 percent over Steve Farish,
who received 36.5 percent.
"Steve and I were good friends
before the campaign," Thurston
said, "and I know we still are. He
will be an indispensable part of
next year's Plainsman staff. Our
main job now is to maintain the
quality of the Plainsman, and to
strive to make needed improve­ments."
Farish said he "thinks the
Plainsman got a hell of an edi­tor,"
but "it really screws up my
plans for this summer; now I've
got to get a job."
In the race for SGA treasurer
Tanya Stacey claimed the victory
with 57.7 percent of the votes.
Beth Yost received 42.3 percent.
The title of Miss Auburn was
won by Jan Floyd over four other
candidates.
A vote on a referendum to
change the SGA Constitution to
increase the Student Senate from
30 to 34 and will combine any new
school with an already existing
school for representation, passed
2,419 to 558.

NEW PRESIDENT TAKES COMMAND
.former AUM chancellor calls for unity after divisive search
By Dave White
and Steve Farish
Plainsman Staff writers
The Auburn University Board
of Trustees will meet April 21 to
confirm the election of Dr. Hanly
Funderburk as president of the
University.
The Trustees chose-funderburk
in a 10-1 vote Monday, but Trustee
Sen. Bob Harris said the vote was
illegal because 10 days written
notice of that Trustees meeting
was not given.
Tuesday, Harris charged Fun­derburk
with promising twoTrust-ees
to name Dr. Rex Rainer as a
vice president if they switched
their votes from Dr. Steven Sam­ple
to Funderburk.
Funderburk denied such an
arrangement yesterday, saying,
"I have no commitment to hire
anyone...or fire anyone. I am free
to make the appointments I want
to."
Rainer, once a candidate for the
Auburn presidency, said, "I just
don't believe it happened, and I
have no comment." Rainer added
yesterday that he has not been
asked to accept a position in
Funderburk's administration.
Another allegation by Harris
centers on an executive session of
the Board Feb. 2. Harris charged
that the Trustees agreed to meet
Feb. 10 to vote on the presidency,
but that the meeting was "sum­marily
canceled."
As chairman of the Board, Gov.
Fob James would have canceled
any planned meeting.
Trustee Morris Savage took
notes Feb. 2, and said aTrustees
meeting was set for Feb. 10 at 9
a.m. at Auburn, at which the
Board would "interview the can­didates
and select a president."
Several other Trustees said they
remembered some sort of agree­ment
to meet about then .
James' assistant press secre­tary,
Windy Leavell, said Thurs­day
his office thought an agree­ment
to meet was made Feb. 2,
but then dropped before that
New AU president already hard at work
By Scott Thurston
and Steve Farish
Plainsman Staffwriters
New Auburn President Hanly
Funderburk said yesterday that
despite allegations of behind the
scenes deal-making that continue
to cloud the presidential search,
he begins his term with "no
commitment to anyone...to hire
anyone...or to fire anyone.
"The only commitment I have
is to do the best possible job I can
for Auburn University," Funder­burk
told The Plainsman during a
brief interview in which he touch­ed
on several issues.
Funderburk said he has made no
decisions yet on appointments of
administrators, but added he
plans to form "what I would call
an interim administrative struc­ture
that will adequately cover all
segments" of the University until
he makes permanent appoint­ments.
Although the new president's
first few days have been spent
trying to familiarize himself with
Auburn's main campus, he's al­ready
met with state legislators
to discuss Auburn's 1980-81 bud­get.
Funderburk said he met with
Speaker of the House Joe Mc-
Corquodale and Lt. Gov. George
McMillan Wednesday to talk over
"all segments" of the proposed
$63 million budget. "It appears
the amount the Governor recom­mended
is still intact," said
Funderburk. ' 'We hope to protect
those amounts as they move
through the legislative process.
"Significant salary increases
for our faculty and staff" are
major funding objectives, said
the new president. "This is our
greatest resource and without it
we really wouldn't have much,"
he added.
Funderburk said one of his first
objectives as president will be to
get the capital fund drive, which
has been stalled by the presiden­tial
search, rolling again. "That is
something we need desperately to
start working on," he said.
A priorities list of projects to be
funded by the drive will be
drafted "within 10 days," said
Funderburk. But he called the
priorities list "just a needs list,"
adding, "there will be a lot of
difference between the needs list
and the amount of money we
raise. We'll take a look at (the
priorities list) and work toward
solving some of those problems."
See FUNDERBURK page A-10
meeting's end. If James did can­cel
a planned meeting, he said he
didn't know why.
At the Feb. 2 meeting, five
Trustees said they favored Sam­ple,
academic vice president at
Nebraska, four favored Rainer,
state highway director, and three
favored Funderburk, said Trus­tee
Henry Steagall Wednesday.
James then asked for a prefer­ence
poll between Sample and
Rainer. Of the three Trustees
favoring Funderburk, Steagall
and Charles Smith favored Sam­ple
over Rainer, while John Pace
chose Rainer, creating a 7-5 vote
favoring Sample. The Trustees, in
executive session, could not legal­ly
choose a president Feb. 2.
Harris strongly implied Mon­day
that the "scheduled" Feb. 10
meeting was canceled because
Sample would have won an elec­tion
then.
His allegation Tuesday implied
that Funderburk calledSmith and
Steagall, asking them to switch
their votes to him after the five
Rainer supporters agreed to sup­port
Funderburk instead. Harris
refused to name the twoTrustees.
Steagall, however, refuted that
Wednesday.
"I've told Mr. Harris dozens of
times that my first choice was
Funderburk," he said. "He is
incorrect in saying I switched
from Sample to Funderburk," he
said. I've always been for Fun­derburk."
The Plainsman could not find
Smith Wednesday or Thursday.
Involving another switch, Trus­tee
John Pace said he had favored
either Rainer or Funderburk,
those two "being home folks and
all.
"I knew them," he said Wed­nesday.
"When you know some­body,
you're inclined to lean
toward them. I did what I think
was best from my heart."
When asked if the five former
Rainer supporters had met and
decided to block vote for Funder­burk
instead, Trustee Ralph
"Shug" Jordan said, "Obviously
the Trustees' support switched."
Jordan, John Pace and R.C.
Bamberg said they knew of no
agreement where Rainer would
be named a vice president in
Funderburk's administration.
Trustee Dr. Wayne Teague said
he did not know if talk of such a
deal was true. Savage and Stea­gall
said they heard talk of the
agreement.
"That was mentioned," said
Steagall, referring to the possible
Rainer appointment. "There
were all kinds of things said like
that.
"You can. imagine that, over
seven months, with everybody
jockeying for position," said Stea­gall.
He noted that, "Harris was
supporting Sample in an aggres­sive
way...Bob Harris thinks
Sample is the only person in the
United States who could be presi­dent
of Auburn."
SeveralTrustees questioned the
value of bringing up the past.
"If we prove everybody on the
Board is a liar,'' said Savage, "we
still haven't done anything for
Auburn University.
"I've searched my mind," he
said. "That's why I took a diffe­rent
stand at the end than Bob
(Harris) did." Continued specula­tion
could "give the possibility of
failure to Dr. Funderburk," said
Savage, adding that "Id rather
work for Auburn — it's bigger
than any of us."
"I think it behooves every­body,"
said Bamberg, "to stop all
this calling and (complaining)
and trying to start trouble for

For most candidates in yester­day's
SGA elections, the long
hours of hard work are over. Most
of them will now attempt to catch
up on lost sleep and a few may
even return to classes now that
the grueling week is over.
But for one SGA presidential
hopeful, Tim Bumpers, the fight
has just begun. Bumpers is con­testing
yesterday's presidential
election because his name did not
appear on the SGA ballot with the
other four candidates in the race.
The Board of Elections first
voted last Thursday to disqualify
Bumpers from the 1980 SGA
presdential race. According to a
statement released by the Board,
the decision came "after approxi­mately
two and a half hours of
discussion and deliberation."
Reasons behind the disqualifi­cation
of Bumpers concerned pre-campaigning
violations and
illegals-shirt distribution. The
board of elections set the time for
formal campaigning to begin at 3
p.m. on April 2.
It was determined by the
Elections Board that i.-n March 27
Bumpers participated in formal
campaigning when he was intro­duced
by his campaign manager,
Al Ullman, as a candidate for SGA
president. The meeting took
place at Dorm 7 where residents
were given the door combination
and presented with the dorm
rules and regulations.
A Board of Elections statement
also cited Bumpers' campaign for
distributing his t-shirts free of
charge to residents of Dorm 7.
Elections Board members also
said "Some of the recipients of
these T-shirts had not even
expressed an interest in working
in Bumpers' campaign."
It had been determined earlier
by the board that the act of giving
awayT-shirts was unfair to those
candidates who could not finan­cially
afford this practice. There­fore
the Elections Board said
T-shirts must be sold on an indivi­dual
basis.
David A r mbrester, chairman
of the Elections Board, wrote
"while the Board considered the
possibility that either one of these
acts, by itself, would not neces­sarily
result in disqualification,
the combination of these two
serious violations left no other
course open which would be fair
to all parties involved."
Upon hearing of his disqualifi­cation,
Bumpers petitioned the
University Jurisprudence Com­mittee
to hear an appeal of his
case.
On Tuesday the committee met
to hear arguments from the
Elections Board and members of
his campaign. Each side was
given time for an opening state­ment
and a five-minute rebuttle.
Ron Taylor, SGA president and
member of the Elections Board,
told the committee that "our
decision is in no way an attack on
Tim as an individual or his
campaign. The decision was
strictly based on the violations we
found."
Mac MacCarthur, speaking in
defense for the "Students for
Bumpers" campaign, told the
committee that Al Ullman stood
up at the dorm meeting as a
friend of Bumpers. "Al is not
Tim's campaign manager, but
rather one of five campaign
chairmen," McCarthur said.
McCarthur added that Bumpers
was not even in the room at the
time his name was announced.
"I did not speak on the SGA at
the dorm meeting and I told the
group the reason I was there
was to see the candidate they had
put up for Miss Auburn,"
Bumpers said.
On the charges of giving away
free campaign T-shirts, Bumpers
told the committee that "every
t-shirt had been paid for by an
Auburn students." McCarthur
added that some T-shirts were
purchased in groups of four and
five and then given away by those
who purchased them.
The Plainsman also learned
from one resident of Dorm 8 that

Rainer resigns post as State Highway Director
By Peggy Sanford
Plainsman Staffwriter
Dr. Rex Rainer resigned from
the position of state highway
director on Monday, the same day
Hanly Funderburk Jr. was named
president of Auburn University.
Rainer denied any connection
between the outcome of the presi­dential
search and his resigna­tion.
"No relationship whatso­ever"
existed between the two
occurrences, he said.
Rainer, who had been a promi­nent
candidate in the University's
presidential search, also said that
the position of executive vice-pre­sident
of the University is a
possibility which he has not consi­dered,
but which he "might consi­der
if the option were offered."
He said he had no knowledge of
the validity of an alleged promise
by Gov. Fob James to Rainer
supporters on the Auburn Board
of Trustees that Rainer would be
appointed executive vice-presi­dent
of the University if those
supporters would move behind
Funderburk for president.
Rainer said he "could not spe­culate
on the rumors of others,"
and suggested that Dr. Gordon
Bond, president-elect of the Ame­rican
Association of University
Professors (AAUP), who made
the allegation, be asked to docu­ment
his evidence.
After Sen. Robert Harris was
quoted in the Montgomery Adver­tiser
Wednesday with the same
allegation, Rainer declined to
comment. "I just don't believe it
happened and I have no com­ment,"
he said.
The chancellorship of Auburn
University at Montgomery has
not been offered to Rainer either,
he said. "I've been asked that
question today (Tuesday) at least
60 times by the press all over the
Southeast and the answer is the
same: I have not been approach­ed."
Rainer gave an unequivocal no
as to whether he would accept
that position, if it were offered
him, then said it was a "fine
young institution," but he was not
interested in being chancellor of
It.
Rainer said he had accepted the
office of State Highway Depart­ment
director last January ini­tially
for a six-month period.
Because the office "was unable to
obtain more revenue" in that
time, Rainer said he stayed on
longer. Now that a bill which
would give the highway depart­ment
more revenue is before the
Legislature, Rainer is apparently
ready to return to Auburn.
"I expect to be in place by the
beginning of summer quarter."
The "place" Rainer referred to
is the civil engineering depart-

institution serving the people of
Alabama."
Dr. Donald Vives who offered
the resolution said, "I thought it
was the appropriate thing to do.
He said he hoped the faculty could
have welcomed Funderburk and
helped in the transition.
Dr. William R. Transue, a
professor in mathematics,
motioned to table the resolution.
He said a mixture of reasons
caused him to move to table it.
' 'It was apparent it wasn't clear
which the way the vote would go,"
he said.
Gov. Fob James passed around
a waiver at the trustees meeting
In an attempt to forego the need of
10 days notice before a trustees
meeting is hejd. Because (Bob)
Harris didn't sign the waiver,
Transue said he believed the
trustees meeting was invalid and
the action the trustees took was
void.
Transue said he went by the
reasoning that Funderburk is not
the president yet "so let's just
wait" before passing the resolu­tion.
Dr. Warren A. Flick, represen­tative
from the forestry depart­ment,
said the Senate "didn't
object to the resolution so much;
they were more opposed to its
timing. I'm sure no one wishes
Dr. Funderburk any ill will. I'm
sure everyone is willing to work
with him for the betterment of
Auburn University." Although he
added, "Most were upset at the
process by which he was elected.
Most thought it was better to wait
a month."
Dr. Robert V. Andelson said he
respects Funderburk, but he
added, "I didn't feel the resolu­tion
was appropriate."
Andelson said he told the
senate, "This faculty has just
been kicked in the ass. I interpret
this resolution as saying thank
you; we like it."
Andelson said it was his under­standing
that many people who
voted for tabling it actually
wanted to defeat the resolution.

U.S. TO EXPEL IRANIANS-The
Carter administration announced Tuesday that it will expel most
of the approximately 75,000 Iranians presently In this country when
their visas expire. The plan, which includes Iranian students, was
implemented after a proposal was rejected that would have expelled
the Iranians immediately. Another plan is being studied that would
force many of the students to leave before their visas expire, as early
as this summer.
REAGAN GAINING ON CARTER-A
recent Time magazine poll showed Ronald Reagan leading Jimmy
Carter as the public's choice for the presidency. Forty-four percent of
those surveyed preferred Reagan, with 43 percent favoring Carter and
13 percent undecided. As recently as January, Carter had led Reagan
by better than a 2 to 1 margin.

The prime lending rate hit 20 percent last week, as banks raised their

EDUCATION CUTS CRITICIZED -
Officials at the University of Alabama have criticized proposed
legislation pending in the State House of Representatives that would
cut appropriations to higher education by $10.8 million. A University
official said statistics show that the University is funded well below the
average of universities across the nation and even the Southeast. State
fundings to all universities have grown by 10 percent in the last six
years, while elementary and secondary education received a 57
percent increase during the same period.

The construction of the $6.5
million upper deck at Jordan-
Hare Stadium is running on
schedule and should be completed
by the Sept. 1 deadline.
Pat Steele, assistant superin­tendent
of the project, said the
March rains slowed the progress,
but in the past two weeks the work
has been steady and construction
is back on schedule.
"We don't foresee any major
problems arising," Steele said.
Right now it looks as though we
won't have any trouble meeting
our budget and the deck should be
completed by the first home
game."
About 115 men employed by
Castle Construction Company are
working eight hours a day, five
days a week on the expansion
which will include 10,982 new
seats, enlarging the stadium's
capacity to about 74,000.
Also included in the upper deck,
designed by the firm of Warren,
Knight and Davis of Birmingham,
will be an enclosed press area
equipped with the latest in press
technology, V.I.P. seating, and
two elevators running from the
ground floor to the second level of
the deck. The deck measures 600
feet across with 10,000 cubic
yards of concrete and 1,200 tons of
concrete reinforcement bars.
The expansion, according to
alumni plans, will be financed by
money from ticket sales and
contributions made to the Greater
Auburn Athletic Fund.

In exactly what capacity he
might return to the civil engineer­ing

"I'm tempted to go back to full

Rainer does not rule out the

Rainer also said he hoped
"everyone will just calm down
now that a decision has been

Bumpers
From page A-1
Bumpers' campaign was giving
away free t-shirts to residents of
her dorm. Bumpers said to his
knowledge noT-shitfs were given
away at Dorm 8. "There is only
one girl that I knew of who got a
T-shirt from that dorm and she
paid for it personally," Bumpers
said.
In the jurisprudence hearing,
members of the Elections Board
presented another charge con­cerning
T-shirt distribution. The
Board said they had interviewed
one student who had been taken
into a room at Dorm 7 and asked
by Bumpers' workers "which
shirt do you want?" before the
student even said he would
support Bumpers.
"To my knowledge no one was
taken into a room and forced to
wear aT-shirt," Bumpers said.
At 4 p.m. after an hour of
deliberation, the committee
issued the statement that "it is

Campaign of 1980."
With Bumpers back in the race,
his campaign workers began an
all-out effort to get their candi­date
known around campus and to
assure students he was back in
the race.
At 5:30 p.m. the same day the
Elections Board issued another
statement to the Bumpers'
campaign requiring the candi­date
to have all campaign
material down by 7 p.m. and to
stop campaigning at 5:15 p.m.
The statement did not give
reasons for the Elections Board
decision, but a 'later statement
issued on Wednesday said
Bumpers was being punished for
the same two violations men­tioned
earlier in the week.
Because reasons were not given
to Bumpers for the Elections
Board's decision on Tuesday

"We are operating this year

problems with increasing enroll­ment

said.
The major problem which could
arise from the reduction in the
governor's recommendation, said
Rhett Riley, University business
manager, is the lack of "salary
improvement."
Other than the conditional pay
increase offered in January the
University has not been able to
"even approach the inflation
rate," he said. "We have to be
able to do something."
Maintenance cost is another
problem area, he said. "Inflation
is eating into the balance of the
budget. We have to find some way
to put some more money into
those areas," Riley added.

"I've already found several
things I don't like about it and I
don't think I can support it."
She said she wholeheartedly
supports education, but thinks
that ways can be found to find
funds without cutting back on
colleges and universities.
Rep. Charles Whatley of Opelika
noted that Holley's substitute bill
does not take into consideration
the unique characteristics of the
Cooperative Extension Service
and Agricultural Experiment Sta­tion.
"I don't plan to support the bill
as offered, and I don't anticipate
it passing — or even the one out of
the Ways and Means Committee
(HB 532)." For instance, he says
he does not see a surplus being
carried forward as that bill pro­poses.
Rep. Pete Turnham of Auburn
termed the Holley substitute as
"very, very dangerous to higher
education, especially to Auburn
University."
'.'This is unfair in light of the
fact that last year the conditional
pay raise bill left out the Agricul­tural

Harris made 'strange sort of hero
Search produced lies,
disunity, in-fighting
The Trustees' presidential search has
produced much more than a new president
for this University.
It has produced bitterness and disunity
on Auburn's Board of Trustees. It has
produced a decision reached by political
in-fighting rather than individual merit.
It has produced lies premeditated to
damage the reputation of good men. And
finally it has produced a process of selection
for which students, faculty and alumni of
this University can feel shame.
After it was announced that the presi­dential
search committee would contain no
faculty or student members, two promises
were repeatedly made to both groups.
The Trustees, all of whom owe their
positions to gubernatorial appointment,
promised they would conduct a nationwide
search determined by merit and that the
appointment process would be strictly non-political.
Surprisingly after a search of the entire
nation, four trustees and the chairman of
the Board of Trustees, Gov. Fob James
found the most qualified man was an old
friend of the governor's—a former depart­ment
head named Rex Rainer, who was
now working for the governor at the capitol.
When the seven remaining Trustees felt
Steven Sample, an outsider from Nebraska,
Was more qualified, the Governor managed
to change one of the seven's votes by
compromising on the man he felt was the
second most qualified man in the nation.
Coincidentally this man, Hanly
Funderburk, happened to be an Alabama
native and the chancellor at Auburn's
Montgomery campus, a few miles from the
Governor's Mansion.
If any doubt remained as to the
characteristic the Governor thought most
important in a new president, it was
answered by James lone question on the
candidate's qualities. "Where is Dr.
Funderburk from?" was the only question
the governor asked about any of the
candidates nominated for the presidency
before either the board's March 8 or April 7
votes.
At the April 7 meeting, after Trustee
Henry Steagall had once again answered the
Governor's question by saying Funderburk
was from Pickens County, Ala., James said
"That's what learned to hear."
The Governor also quickly destroyed the
Trustee's second promise that the appoint­ment
would be a non-political selection.
Although the Trustees are normally
careful to keep any complaints they might
have about the operation of the Board away
from the public, Trustees Bob Harris and
Charles Smith openly complained about the
effect of "gubernatorial politics" on the
board.
Sen. Harris has even charged that James
promised Rainer supporters their candi­date
would be given a high-level appoint­ment
at the University if Funderburk was
selected.
When asked if such an appointment was
possible, neither James nor Funderburk
denied the possiblitiy.
James said such an appointment would
tie up to President Funderburk. Newly
appointed President Funderburk said he
would of course ' 'consider anyone who was
qualified" for high level appointments.
But if there is currently little hard
evidence to support Harris' charges of
political deals, the evidence of much uglier
political in-fighting is all too evident.
Throughout the search, lies have been
created and spread to ruin men's reputa­tions
and influence the selection's outcome.
James Martin, the acting president of the
University of Arkansas who was originally
the frontrunner for Auburn presidency, was
the first victim.
Rumors were spread extensively that
Martin attempted to make deals with
University personnel for their support.
Although no basis was found for the
rumors, Martin did not receive a single vote
for Auburn's presidency after the rumors
were spread.
Steven Sample, vice president for
academic affairs at the University of
Nebraska, replaced Martin as the front
runner.
Although a straw vote among the
Trustees showed Sample had a 7-5 edge
over Rainer, James could not get away from
affairs of state long enough to call a Board
meeting and make the vote official.
After a meeting at which, Harris alleged,
political deals were made to bring about a
6-6 "stop Sample" vote, it was leaked to
the press and run state-wide that Nebraska
football coach Bob Devaney had com­plained
privately that Sample had not
supported that school's football program.
At a school as football oriented as
Auburn, few rumors could have been more
damaging. But when the Plainsman con­tacted
Devaney to check out the rumor, the
coach denied ever making such a statement.
Devaney, however, did make a statement
about the rumor.
"With crap like that going on down
there," he said, "you'd be damn lucky to
get a man as good as Steven Sample ."
All the lies and innuendos were not
directed at the candidates.
At the April 7 meeting at which
Funderburk was elected, Harris angrily
asked to respond to "libelous" charges in
"The Montgomery Independent" about
himself and fellow trustee Morris Savage.
An editdrial in "The Independent" the
day before the meeting said a Trustee who
wished to remain unidentified, had charged
Harris and Savage with supporting Sample
because Sample supporter Frank Samford's
firm, Liberty National, did business with
their law firms.
Both Savage and Harris said their firms
did no business at all with Liberty National,
a fact they said could be easily confirmed by
examining their firms' records.
Harris said either Tom Johnson, the
editor of' "The Independent,'' or one of the
Trustees on the Board "was a liar" and
"knew it."
How much damage Auburn's presiden­tial
search did to the individuals' reputa­tions
can only be speculated upon.
One thing is sure. The damage which the
search has done to the reputations of these
individuals is nothing compared to that
which the search has brought upon Auburn
itself.
But the greatest sin committed bv some
Trustees, who allowed their own short­sightedness
and regionalims to allow them­selves
to submit to gubernatorial pressure,
was not what they did. It was what they
didn't do.
The Trustees had a unique chance to
select a president of obvious national
reputation and thereby affirm not only
Auburn's rising national stature, but this
University's committment to further its
national academic reputation. It was an
opportunity the Board of Trustees did not
take.
As long as this paper might try, it would
be difficult for us to state it more eloquently
or succinctly than Harris did Monday. "We
had the chance to do something
memorable, Harris said to his fellow
trustees with more sadness in his voice than
anger. "Both for the state of Alabama and
for Auburn University. But we have not
done that which was best for Auburn."
This paper knows that Auburn will
survive this presidential search full of lies,
politics and bitterness.
We hope that soon under the new
president Auburn will once again be united
and proud.
But for now we can only agree with Sen.
Harris that it is a time to "Cry for Auburn
University," not because of our new
President, but because of some old
Trustees.
Once again he wiped the perspiration from
his face. From the expression, the sweat
might have just as easily have been tears.
Sen. Bob Harris made a strange sort of
hero.
The balding attorney occasionally cupped
his hands over his wire-rimmed glasses, as if
he hoped he would be seeing a different
situation when he uncovered them.
But the situation remained the same. The
result of the meeting remained unavoidable.
Still he sat there among the other
Trustees—pale, angry, resolute. He chose his
words carefully, while realizing their futility.
He was like a gladiator choosing a sword
that was to his liking, so he could make a
stand against an attacking Sherman tank.
Harris was a strange sort of hero.
Any great coach, whether it is a Vince
Lombardi or a Shug Jordan, will tell you
there are winners and there are losers. The
winners can be heroes. The losers can just be
losers.
Everyone knew that day Harris would be
the loser.
Harris was for Steven Sample. Sample had
seen that Gov. Fob James would have his
way and a local candidate would be selected
Auburn's president. Sample withdrew.
Harris would not withdraw an inch.
Heroes are not stupid.
Harris was acting worse than stupid. He
was acting completely unreasonable.
You could tell that by looking at the
governor or some of the other Trustees as
they watched him. They looked at him as
they would a mad dog.
Their expressions showing pity, disgust,
wonder and maybe even a little bit of fear.
Rick
Harmoi
Their reaction was understandable. Harris
was acting incredibly stupid. It was so stupid
to fight, when it was so obvious he would
Harris, with tongue in cheek, says since
the criteria for a president appears to be
different from when the search began, he
would like to nominate George Wallace.
Harris says Wallace holds Auburn's
highest degree. He is from Alabama. He is
familiar with the legislature. He is competi­tive.
A trustee says Wallace doesn't want his
name in consideration. There is no second to
the nomination.
Harris nominates Rex Rainer.
The governor says Rainer sent him a letter
to withdraw, himmself from consideration.
There is no second to the nomination.
The governor asks sarcastically if Harris
wants to nominate anyone else.
Harris replies more sarcastically that the
governor probably has letters withdrawing
them from consideration too.
The audience laughs. James becomes more
angry.
The other Trustees shake their head. Why
is Harris acting so stupid? It would be so
much smarter to submit. It would be so much
easier to submit.
A "yes" vote by Harris, a show of
unanimity by the Trustees, a new president
and everyone is made happy. Maybe not
everyone. The students, the faculty and
maybe even a few alumni may be a little
upset. But they've lost anyway.
Why should Harris lose with them? If he
were just smart enough to submit and vote
with the rest, the governor would forgive.
Everyone would compliment him on the
wonderful job he has done.
Instead, he accuses the governor of making
deals; his fellow Trustees of selling out. The
Governor will remember. The Trustees will
be divided. All this because he was lied to...
because he believed the Governor and gave
his own word.
So a few students and professors weren't
told the exact truth about it being a national
search and remaining above politics. He tried
to keep his word, and they know it.
Why go through this futile act of defiance
over a word.. .a principle? That's not heroic.
That's stupid.
Yet somehow I know someday in the future
I will return to the University I have grown j
to love, and I will stand with friends in the
shadow of Jordan-Hare stadium swapping
stories.
They will talk about Sullivan, or Brooks or
Johnson. Finally, I'll say, "Yeah, but did you
ever see Bob Harris?" They'll nod, and
someone will say, "Now, there was a man."
Funderburk needs his humor, ability
The squarish face of AUM's chancellor
remained nearly unmoving, seeming not to
follow business at a Trustees meeting last
year.
But the stoicism was a mask.
When an item allocating a few hundred
thousand dollars for AUM came up, Dr.
Hanly Funderburk was a cool, methodical,
unflappable figure full of facts, figures and
plans.
He discarded rhetoric and got immediately
to the steel and asphalt of the situation. He
then immediately got his hundred thousands.
The machine-like precision of Funderburk
at business contrasted vividly with
Funderburk as guest of honor at AUM's
homecoming this year.
The basketball team got beat, the small
pep band drowned out introductions of the
queen's court and the biggest hit of the
ceremonies was an almost-obscene ugliest-man-
on-campus competition.
Funderburk, however, seemed to enjoy
himself. He laughed at the "flashing" ugliest
man, and even let a smile come to his face as
he kissed Miss Homecoming. His wife
probably noticed
After a short, seemingly tongue-in-cheek
speech at the small, none-too-loud lectern,
Dave
White
Funderburk proceeded back up the bleachers
and again became just another avid basket­ball
fan.
Funderburk must have needed a lot of his
humor to get through the comic, unpro­fessional,
tragic misdeeds of some Trustees
the last few months. Nobody deserves
compromising "allies" like them; he deserves
much better.
Maybe his sense of humor kept him from
tellingthe Trustees what they could do with
their job, or maybe he was tired of small
lecterns. Few of the Trustees had supported
him 100 percent, however, and their trans­parent
maneuverings and plottings seriously
compromised the standing of Auburn's next
president.
We welcome Funderburk to AU
It is the mark of a great man to make the
best of a difficult situation.
While we cannot know how Dr. Hanly
Funderburk's presidency will be judged
when it is done, we do know it began under
trying circumstances.
With the controversy surrounding his
apointment, Funderburk will be faced with
the unenviable task of having to convince
many in the University community that he
is indeed up to the job.
If his past achievements are any indica­tion,
however, we are hopeful the former
AUM chancellor will do just that.
The search process and the accompanying
controversy are now water under the bridge.
The only point in continuing discussion of
the search process is to offer criticisms in the
hope the same mistakes will not be repeated
in future presidental searches.
The Board of Trustees has made its
decision. Dr. Hanly Funderburk is our new
president.
We welcome Funderburk and his family
to Auburn and wish him the best of luck in
meeting the daily challenges he'll face.
Funderburk will need his considerable
management and business skills to dispel the
doubts and bitterness aroused by the
Trustees' amateurish actions.
One dean at AUM, though upset at the
allocation he received this year, grudgingly
conceded that Funderburk was an "outstand­ing"
money manager. Another said he was
the best in the state.
The former chancellor cited the proposed
$30 million alumni fund drive and financing
new engineering buildings as his top priori­ties
Monday. Both will severely try his
management ability.
If he passes those tests, wrestling with the
Legislature, alumni and reaccreditation
worries will await him, and the list goes on.
His record at AUM, however, indicates he
will pass those tests. Funderburk will
probably discard empty rhetoric and work to
prove himself to doubters project by
project.
He probably won't be flashy, but
Funderburk just might make the fumbling
parochialism of some Trustees look like a
stroke of genius in a few years.
Until then, he'll need his sense of humor.
Olympic athletes, but not facilities
THE AUBURN
PLAINSMAN
Auburn University is fortunate to have
the fine, nationally recognized athletic
department it enjoys.
Fortunate, because its athletic facilities
do not warrant the quality of athletic
competition that exists here.
As reported in the Plainsman last week,
Auburn is the only team in the NCAA
swimming top 15 without an outdoor pool.
Consequently some Auburn swimmers
on ou* fifth-ranked team will be training
elsewhere in the upcoming months. And at
least one top swimmer, Bill Forrester,
trained in Florida last quarter.
Olympic athletes, but no Olympic pool.
Doesn't make sense, does it?
Swimming is not the only sport hurt by
inadequate facilties. Auburn's indoor track
team, eighth in the nation this season and
third last season, doe« not have a properly
sized or banked indoor track.
The cross-country team, fifth in the
NCAA, does not have a golf course to run
on, nor for that matter does the 1979 13th
ranked golf team have its own facilities.
And the NCAA fourth place finishers a
year ago, the outdoor track team, need a
new track.
The recruiters at Auburn deserve praise,
because they are selling Auburn University,
even though there are no facilities to sell.
Auburn is indeed fortunate.

Search had losers, but no winners
Campaign revisions requested
John
Farish
"Someone stole the Kim sign that was
here." You've probably seen orheard of a
candidate's billboard somewhere around
Auburn disappearing sometime in the last
week.
The sign stealing is just one of the many
accusations leveled by student candidates the
past week at their opponents in yesterday's
SGA election. There were many others.
One candidate was accused of lying on his
qualification statement he issued to The
Plainsman. Several candidates were accused
of beginning their campaigns before the 3
p.m. Wednesday starting time.
Almost every candidate fell prey to some
halfwit who supposedly tore down campaign
posters and signs.
Another candidate gave out his T-shirts for
free, accused that person's competitors.
What it not to be debated it whether these
injustices occurred; its too late for that now.
What is needed is a definite re-evaluation
of the existing election system for the
University, in three general areas of the
election process.
Area one concerns the rules governing the
methods by which campaigning funds.are
used. The existing rules concerning the
amount of money that the individual candi­dates
can spend are fair, but are often
ignored.
Candidates should not only be required to
submit a budget of their expenses after the
purchase and distribution of campaign mater­ial,
but also to submit a proposed budget at
least two weeks before the election itself.
The elections board could then keep a tight
control on the amounts of money spent by the
candidates.
The other rules for the election process
seem to be quite fair but lack one thing.
Enforcement.
. The strength of the election process could
be increased if some type of uniformity
existed in the decisions of the elections board
and the jurisprudence committee.
Punishment shouldn't necessarily be
standard for every violation of the rules; that
would be unfair to the boards and the
candidates. But if the elections board makes
a decision, all facets of the SGA should
enforce that decision.
The jurisprudence board should be used
only to appeal the facts of the case or to
appeal a blatantly unfair punishment.
This uniformity is necessary to insure the
strength of the election process and the
SGA's role in that process.
The third case for improvement concerns
the way elections are run.
Cutbacks should be made on the amounts
of certain campaign materials allowed,
namely the large billboards. The present
system would seem to discriminate against
the candidate who does not have as much
money as the others.
Too, some forum needs to be arranged to
incorporate campaigning at both sororities
and fraternitiesjrNeither the candidates nor
the sororities and fraternities seem to benefit
from the present system of each candidate
speaking individually to every social organi­zation.
Possibly on different dates at some
pre-arranged time, candidates could meet for
a question and answer session with the
different organizations. This would keep the
candidates from interrupting dinner at the
fraternity houses and would assure the
chance that each voice be heard.
These types of re-evaluations of the
present system are necessary to keep the
"somebody stole this sign" billboards from
having to appear again.
Although it may appear Auburn's presi­dential
search clearly produced a winning
and losing side, such is not the case.
In the end, no "winner" emerged to carry
the laurel wreath away.
Steven Sample and Bob Harris, were the
two principle players on the team that lost in
the fourth quarter.
Sample was the top candidate from the
beginning. Both the faculty and student
advisory committees told the Board Sample's
drive, intelligence, performance record and
personality would make him the best choice.
But some Board members were worried that
Sample had no "Auburn connections."
What Sample did have, and he expressed
this sentiment to The Plainsman after he
dropped out, was a love and respect for what
he saw at Auburn. He spoke highly about
Auburn's dedication to its tradition, its
faculty and students, and its devotion to the
liberal arts.
Sample wanted the job at Auburn more
than anything else in the world, but petty
politics prevented him from achieving what
he ached for.
Trustee Bob Harris ached for Sample to
have the presidency, but in the end, he was
also a loser.
Harris, as chairman of the search commit­tee
had listened to the faculty and student
recommendations, and after much though,
threw this support behind Sample.
That support never waivered. Bob Harris
stood by his convictions and those of Auburn
Steve
Farish
faculty and students.to the very end, when
the vote turned in favor of Funderburk.
On his way from the meeting room
Monday, students and faculty of Auburn
gathered around Harris. They told him he
was a "hero," for standing in the face of such
adveristy for what he felt to be right.
Bob Harris was indeed a hero, but the
accolades did not comfort him, for he had lost
his greatest battle as a trustee.
On the other side of the field from Sample
and Harris stood the victorious team, two
prominent members of which were Gov. Fob
James and Hanly Funderburk.
Their victory, however, left an extremely
sour taste in their mouths.
James could not avoid the fact that,
although he achieved his goal of getting
Auburn a president from Alabama, he had
received a great deal of justified criticism in
the process.
Harris revealed Tuesday that James had
blocked an apparent Sample victory over Rex
Rainer at a Feb. 2 Trustee's meeting, and had
called for a 10-day delay before an official
final vote could be taken.
James had not gone so far as to twist arms
to sway votes for his candidate, but he did

Sample, his cherished goal. - a

The impression here is that Funderburk
will be a low-key, moderate leader, who wilj
work hard but not make too many changes.]
That may be just the kind of personality
and leadership Auburn needs to be guided
through this most difficult of transition
periods.
With America in disarray after Watergate,-
Gerald Ford, a man with such a personality,;
stepped into the presidency and healed the'
country's wounds. J
I hope and pray Funderburk can do the!
same with the University.
Atlanta makes baseball exciting
Time outL.or should I say, "seventh inning
stretch?"
For better or worse, the presidential
search and SGA elections are over, the
hostages are still in Iran and the world's
problems have yet to be solved.
But among all the strange things going on
in the world, one of the strangest is about to
begin just a few miles up the road from here.
Away up yonder in the big city of Atlanta,
men are being paid to wear big leather gloves
and chase small white balls around a big
green pasture. And people, regular people
like you and me, actually pay to watch them.
These men, of course, constitute the
Atlanta Braves, perennial cellar-dwellers of
Scott
Thurston
'>*-,.
the National League. The Braves, as anyone
who has followed them over the years knows,
play a unique brand of baseball. It's the kind
of baseball in which you can never be sure of
anything, and I suppose that's what makes it
interesting.
As announcer Skip Carey once said of
Braves' games, "Every play is an adventure."
It is that difference that sets the Braves
apart from the baseball teams and makes
watching them so much fun. With any other
team, the pre-season questions sound all
alike.
"Will Guidry win 25 or 30?," ask the
obnoxious Yankee fans. "Was last year just a
fluke? " ask those who bleed Dodger blue.
Even teams like Cleveland and Toronto
withhold the hope that some rising star will
change their fortunes.
In Atlanta, there is no such indulgence in
self-illusion.
Braves fans, their memories jaded by
recent images of Pepe Frias' record setting
performance at shortstop (the record was for
most errors) and tremendous pitching by
"potential all-stars" like Preston Hannah and
Chopper Campbell, won't go to Braves games
to see if Gene Garber can win one. They'll go
to see how he loses.
I'm not sure what causes the kind of
enthusiastic cynicism of Braves fans, but I
suspect it lies in the knowledge that what
they've got is something special.
After all, the Braves of recent years have
produced just as many memorable moments
in baseball as have the Pirates or Yankees.
Who could ever forget the game in Chicago
last summer when, in the ninth inning with
the winning run on base, then—left fielder
Jeff Burroughs cooly dropped to one knee to
field a single and watched helplessly as the
ball rolled untouched between his legs and on
to the fence (the winning run scored).
And who that watched could ever forget
the game in Montreal when Eddie Solomon
pitched a shutout for 10 innings, only to lose
the game by hitting a batter with the bases
loaded.
These aren't the kind of moments that earn
you a playoff spot and national accolades,
obviously, but they are the kind of moments
that are just as much a part of the gamefand
life for that matter if you want to gel
philosophical about it,) as all of Reggie
Jackson's World Series homers.
Of course, there are those who'll argue thai
this year really will be different, that Gene
Garber really has corrected that self •dc'
scribed "flaw" in his delivery and that Al
Hrabosky will be the team's savior. Such;
thinking is, I suppose, the right of eternal
optimists, whom the world needs more of. j
But anyone who saw Brian Asselstinq
tripping over his shoelaces while chasing a flyj
ball or new left fielder Dale Murphy heaving
four-bouncers into second base during spring
training should know better.
The Braves seem to be proof positive that*
change occurs slowly if at all. But then, so did
the '69 Mets.
Intramural coverage criticized
mn -At AMMUI PtAltBMAN
Good taste overlooked on SGA election poster
Editor, The Plainsman:
It's student government election time
again-largely an expensive popularity con­test
here at Auburn.
When one considers the money spent by
the candidates, it seems appropriate for the
state to enact a windfall profits tax on local
printers. Thank heavens the time allotted to
campaigning is limited or a few organizations
would completely deplete their treasuries.
It seems the election commission has
overlooked at least one criterion in running
the election though-good taste.
While I do not know him personally, at
least one candidate, Eric Kennedy, has gone
too far in seeking election by playing upon his
last name. I would hope Mr. Kennedy might
consider apologizing not personally, but
publicly, for his lack of sensibility.
The off-campus senator hopeful's signs and
posters are located throughout the school and
community portraying a man's figure as seen
through the sight of a rifle, asking us to
"shoot him to the senate."
To add insult to injury, his first name is
played down in non-caps while the logo
"Kennedy '80" is visibly emphasized.
If the more insulting portions of the
message were removed and only this logo
remained, it would better parallel the
campaign theme of another national loser,
Ted.
Pardon my choice of words, but only a
longshot candidate, anticipated loser or
grossly insensitive person would stoop to
such tactics.
To be sure, I anticipate a response here
along the line of "all's fair" or "why not,"
maybe even, "I didn't make the parallel, the
name did."
With this repsponse in mind, I'm sure
Kennedy and his supporters would not mind
a few more observations about his campaign
theme. In the first place, people (students)
are not so forgetful, insensitive or lightheart-ed
as some might expect.
I know there are a few places I'd like to
shoot Mr. Kennedy but that would only cause
the same pain as this letter-a pain in the ass.
Secondly, he should consider taking a
basic course in ethics, something he is clearly
uninformed about. Ideally, these elections
should serve as a model and primer for the
larger political world outside of the Univer­sity.
This may be Kennedy's problem-he's just
too eager to jump into the real world of so
called immoral politics before learning any
lessons of fairness and decency.
I am sure Eric Kennedy has already heard
enough about his lack of good taste and
foresight, but I am also sure students would
like to hear his explanation (or lack of one).
Until then, I think the position he is running
for should be off-base senator rather than
off-campus senator.
I hope voters in the election are no more
willing to vote on the basis of his last name
than they were for Edward Kennedy.
One last observation I might add in passing
is that Kennedy lists working on the Fob
James campaign as a qualification in the
Plainsman. It figures.
Kris Carle, 06 SC
Editor, The Plainsman:
It seems that when the 79-'80 school year
began where something was mentioned in
this fine paper that there would be an
improvement made as far as covering
intramural sports activities.
How can it be considered an improvement
if the finals of the past quarter's basketball
league were failed to be mentioned?
Considering the fact that there were 215
teams competing this past winter for the
basketball championship, it amazes us that
the winner of the campus was not included in
at least a small article concerning the
playoffs.
A picture was the only evidence of the fact
that The Plainsman covered the finals. May it;
be added that nothing was said about whoi
won the game, only who lost. irtSOi |
Considering the caliber of teams in thef
independent league, the Phi Kappa Tau's;
probably would not have made it to the^
playoffs.
Maybe it is considered old news and
printing space should be devoted to the other'
sports material, but should we have to find;
out about the intramurals at Auburn UniveT-J
sity from the local newspapers ? i; •''1V/ j

By Ford Risley
Plainsman Staffwriter
Pulitzer Prize winning column­ist
George Will spoke in Auburn
Monday and described the
"entitlement spirit as fundamen­tally
the cause of the inflation we
have today."
I A former professor of political
philosophy, Will defined such a
spirit as the belief that "we are
entitled to a virtually risk-free
society and to the extent that
risks remain, someone else is
fault."
Will said this entitlement spirit
is evidenced by an unusual
development in tort law in the
United States. He cited by an
example such as ski resort
owners being held responsible for
skiing accidents as "individual's
lack of responsibility for their
own welfare."
Furthur evidence of the entitle­ment
spirit according to Will, is
many people's belief that "we are
entitled to a right to health."
In addition, he said the "culture
of entitlement that is beginning to
envelop the United States and rot
our political language and politi­cal
process" is striking big busi­ness.
"Chrysler and perhaps Ford
next, has joined the list of those
who are entitled to protections
from the hazards of life," Will
noted sarcastically.
He said no particular group is to
blame but that, "We are all
envolved in the entitlement
spirit."
The 39- year-old Will was in
Auburn as part of the Franklin
Lecture Series. At the outset of
his speech, Will described himself
as "congenitally pessismistic," a
trait he said he gained from being
a life-long fan of the Chicago
Cubs, a team that has not won a
National League Pennant in
nearly 40 years.
Will said he believes his pessim­ism
is shared somewhat by the
American people, "not because
the American people are as con­servative
as I am, but because of
the political philosophy of Yogi
Berra who said, 'You can
observe a lot by just watching.'"
Will said he and the Americans,
"have been watching the decline
of American political processes
for some time.
"We have for 20 years
under Republicans and
Democrats alike transformed the
concept of civil rights into
economic rights weaving an
elaborate web of entitlement pro­grams."
According to Will .this is
the "real reason" for inflation
today.
"Americans dominate against
big government but live with it
quite comfortably." A self-d
e s c r i b e d conservative
Republican, Will jokingly de­scribed
conservatism today as
"the prayer belief that is time to
cut my neigbor's subsidy."
Will, whose columns appear
twice weekly in over 360 news­papers
across the country, said,
"we are seeing throughout our
society the degradation of the
democratic doctrine." Aspiring
politicians today, according to
Will,are constantly saying how
they will be responsive.
"I maintain our government is
responsive to a fault," he noted.
"It has a hair trigger responsive­ness."
Will said because the American
government has a "spirit" of
entitlement or responsiveness,"it
is small wonder that the public
has given up on inflation. The
public regards inflation not as a
problem to be solved, but as a
permanent infliction that is to be
accomodated with a particular
private spending strategy."
Will said he could offer no
specific answer to these problems
except that Americans must
regain their lost sense of self-control.
He referred to a verse
from one of America's national
anthems, "We must confirm our
souls in self-control."
Will concluded his speech by
quoting from President Abraham
Lincoln when he said, "By the
cultivation of the physical world
around us and the moral world
within us, we are cultivating the
better angels of our nature and we
can be something that endures."
He said such a philosophy is the
business of education and parti­cularly
an institution of higher
education like Auburn.

City Council to review
control ordinance • • ! •
By John Mangels
Assistant News Editor
The Auburn Public Safety Com­mittee
voted Tuesday night to
recommend a draft revision of the
Animal Control Ordinance to the
City Council, a revision which is
"less punitive, less restrictive
and provides for more effective
l« enforcement" than the present
ordinance, said City Manager
Tyron Tisdale.
The proposed revision, which
will be discussed by the council at
its next meeting, April 15, clari­fies
the definition of restraint.
The revision would also require
reduced fees for violation of the
restraint and licensing portions of
the ordinance, while increasing
the boarding fee for an impound­ed
dog from $2 to $4.
Under the current ordinance, a
dog confined to a building, fenced
pen, on a, leash or under the
effective control of its owner is
considered restrained. The pro­posed
revision adds that a dog
will be considered under restraint
if, while not meeting the above
conditions, it is "in a peaceful
attitude on the property of its
owner, is wearing license and
vaccination tags," was not chas­ed
onto the property and has no
complaint filed against it.
Violation of the current ordi­nance
brings a fine of up to $200
a n d / o r 30 days in jail, at the
discretion of the municipal judge.
The proposed revision sets fines
at up to $5 for a first violation, up
to $10 for a second violation, up to
$25 for a third violation and up to
$500 a n d / o r 30 days in jail for
succeeding violations.
The proposed revision also
states that animals will not be
required to wear license tags or
vaccination tags in buildings or
fenced yards or pens. But an
Animal Control Officer can enter
private property to request proof
of licensing.
The majority of discussion on
the proposed revision concerned
whether written complaints from
a citizen should be compulsory
before a dog is picked up. Citizens
at the meeting felt a written
complaint should be required,
saying without it, ".the neighbors
who complain about our dogs
would be able to use the com­plaint
system and at the same
time hide behind it."
Tisdale told the audience the
proposed revision "would allow a
person to enter a written com­plaint,"
but "a written complaint
isn't necessary just to get action
taken." He said dogs would not be
picked u p ' 'on an anonymous tip."
A decision on whether to enter
into a contract with the Lee
County Humane Society to house
dogs which were impounded by
the City of Auburn or to continue
operating the city's animal con­trol
shelter was postponed until
figures on the cost of constructing
and maintaining a new shelter in
Auburn could be obtained by the
city manager and the city engi­neer.
Criticism of the sanitary condi­tions
at the Auburn Animal Shel­ter
on Foster Road prompted the
council to recommend the Public
Safety Committee study an offer
made in Dec, 1979, by the Lee
County Humane Society. The
society said it would "assume the
mission of housing and caring for
dogs impounded by the city,
provided the city pay a fee for
operation and maintenance of the
shelter, and a fee for debt service
on a $40,000 expansion of the
society's shelter.
Tisdale reported Tuesday night
that costs for operation, main­tenance
and patrol at the Auburn
shelter totalled $48,000, while a
contract with the .society, with an
additional patrol cost of $7,000,
would cost the city $66,700.
"We would prefer that Auburn
build its own shelter," Edgar
Glyde, president of the society,
told the committee, "but consi­dering
the appalling condition the

Auburn shelter is in now, we need
a solution now."
By law, the city is required to
have an animal shelter. Commit­tee
discussion involved an outside
group being contracted to operate
a city department and what alter
natives the city would have after
the contract expired, should the
society decide not to renew it. /'
"You'll have to take us on trust,
and we'll do the best to work wifi
you," Glyde told the committee;.
Dr. W.C. Neely, a member of tie
society's board of directors, toid
the committee there was "a firjn
proposal from the board to offer
the Lee County facility to
Auburn."
"I think you'll see a temporally
solution if the revision to flte
Animal Control Ordinance is
passed by the council because Up
number of dogs impounded
should be reduced," Tisdale sail
"We want to do the right thhig
for the dogs, and we're not dohig
it now," Councilman Denson Lto-scomb
said. "I don't think the cjfy
can provide the same quality of
service as the society, because
the difference in that quality, is
caring."

DIAMOND FACTS
FACT: There are four factors
that establish the value of any
diamond sold anywhere:
Cutting, Color, Clarity and
Carat Weight.
FACT: Color is the most
important factor in establish­ing
the value of a diamond.
Crystal clear absence of color
in the body of the stone is the
most desirable. You should,
however, see "fire" in such a
stone. Lack of the prismatic
colors suggest a poorly cut
stone. Crystal clear diamonds
are very rate indeed. Nearly all
diamonds have some degree
of "yellow" in the body color
in the stone. The degree of
yellow is the factor which
effects the price. Degrees of
color are often so slight they
aren't recognized by the lay­man.
We have a box of
"master" diamonds in each
store to assist you in recog­nizing
that tiny color change
with each drop in color.
I l l s
• ',i L
t •
FACT: The terms "Blue
White," "Perfect," and
"Clean" have been so mis­used
that American Gem
Society Members are for­bidden
to use them.
FACT: Cutting is a most im­portant
factor. Maximum
beauty depends on ideal
proportions. Improper cutting
diminishes the value of any
diamond. The ideally cut
stone is proportioned so that
when a ray of light enters it,
it will be reflected back,
through the crown or top of
the diamond, with the
maximum prismatic "fire"
consistent with maximum
brilliance.
Ideal cut in a diamond. A
diamond cut with the pro­portions
indicated above will
return the majority of rays fall­ing
upon its upper facets to
the eye of an observer, as in­dicated
at the right. These
proportions are designed to
produce the greatest possible
amount of briilancy and "fire"
in a diamond brilliant.
A great many claims are being made these days about "bargains"
in diamonds.JMost of them sound pretty ridiculous to people in
the businessof selling gemstones. However, people who are not
in the business cannot be expected to realize how nonsensical
certain claims are unless they have the facts to make a judgment.
As a member of the American Gem Society, we know the facts.
And foryouijsake and ours, we'd like to share them with you.
FACT: Clarity is the third
most important factor in
establishing a diamond's
value. This is the term used to
describe the presence or
absence of flaws and
blemishes. A flaw that can be
seen by the unaided eye mars
the beauty of a stone and
greatly reduces its value. So
does a distinct small external
crack known as a cleavage.
Even if this can't be seen
without a glass, it may make
the diamond more fragile and
so decreases its value.
Minute inclusions seen only
with difficulty under 10-power
magnification reduce the cost
of a diamond, but do not mar
its beauty or endanger its dur­ability.
A stone without ex­ternal
flaw or blemish that can
be seen under 10-power mag­nification
is considered flaw­less.
Some diamonds are
being altered with laser
beams to disguise these im­perfections.
A diamond/cut either too deep
or too shallow below the
girdle allovs an unnecessary
amount of light to escape
through its pavillion facets.
Either stone lacks maximum
"fire" andbrilliancy and there­fore
is worth less per carat.
Ill Mirth
Diamond with too broad a
table. Boti exhibit less "fire"
than correctly proportioned
diamonds and are therefore,
worth less per carat: above,
what is often referred to as a
"spread jstone.
i
In seeking uniformity of
both terminology and
f—. standards, the American
— Gem Society has deve-
_ loped its own system for
_ griding a diamond.
Under this system, the
lity factors of Color
Clarity are graded on
to 10 basis. A
mond that is color-s,
and flawless would
graded /0/0.The
orest quality diamond
ould be graded /10710.
blerances are much
arrower in the better
rades, broader in the
borer grades. The dia-ram
shows that a
iamond graded at 5
ould be much closer to
he ideal of 0 than would
stone graded at 10.
! Few diamonds on the
market today will
measure up to the ideal
of 1010. However, a
diamond can vary two or
three grades from the
ideal —In Color or
Clarity and still be a very
fine and desirable gem.

FACT: Carat weight is, in a
sense, the least important
factor in determining a
diamond's value. However, if
all other factors are equal, the
larger stone will naturally be
of greater value. It is import­ant
to understand that size
alone is no indication of the
comparative values of two or
more stones. The finer the
stone, the smaller its size at a
given price..
FACT: At Wares we let you
check the quality of the stone
you buy with equipment de­signed
for that very purpose.
As a member of the American
Gem Society, we have several
methods of showing you
whether your diamond meets
the standards we claim for it.
1. We have a permanent set of
pre-graded Master Diamonds
against which you can conrK
pare your stone for color.
2. We will show you under our
Diamondscope any stone you
care to consider. We will
point out to you any flaws or
inclusions, however tiny, that
determines its clarity.
FACT: Wares gives you a cert*
ifIcate specifying the qual­ities
of any diamond you
select. Ware's diamond cert­ificate
states the shape, color,
perfection, cutting, weight
and proportions. It certifies
mounting style, finger size
and replacement value. Check
the so called "guarantees" of
many firms. If they do not con­tain
this information, you may
want to find out why they.are
reluctant to put their specific
claims into writing.
FACT: Wares is a member of
the American Gem Society.
This is important because
membership in AGS not only
must be earned by passing
stringent examinations, it is
renewable yearly and can be
withheld (1) if any question
arises as to a member's know­ledge
of diamonds and other
gem stones, and (2) when
there is any question that a
member is representing his
products ethically and ac­curately.
FACT: We have been in
business in the same location
since 1946. We have 3 mem­bers
of our staff that hold
degrees of Graduate Gemolo
gist from the Gemological
Institute of America. We have
2 members of our staff that
are Registered with the Amer­ican
Gem Society. We plan to
be right here for a long, long
time.
FACT: We have our own staff
of craftsmen. ...jewelers,
diamond setters, engravers
and watch repair personal.
Many of our sales are design­ed
and manufactured right in
our own shops.
FACT: We invite anyone
that would like to discuss dia­monds
to drop in for a "chat."
Wares trained diamond ex­perts
will explain, answer
your quest ions...help you to
understand diamonds. We
want your business and the
more you understand about
diamonds the better our
chances are of getting that
business.

A WHOLE N^OJ WARDffeB£
by S'ubbfcdC Troy paper booted off campus
By Rosy Evans
Features Editor
Last week, only one week after
the editor was fired, the Troy
State student newspaper, (The
Tropolitan) was o^icially disown­ed
by the University at a studem
publications board meeting.
The staff was told at the Wed­nesday
meeting that the paper
would have to relocate off campus
and would no longer be eligible
for funding from the University.
Ironically, the resolution to
break ties with the University
was introduced as "a proposal of
the staff members" by the pa­per's
adviser, Gregg Mayer, an
English teacher who said the
students on the staff supported
the idea.
According to newspaper re­ports,
the students and faculty
were not given a chance to speak
at the meeting, but after the
resolution was approved, stu­dents
accused Mayer of lying.
They said they had never support­ed
the idea.
"It was a blatant lie," said
Lorraine Bloeth, a "Trop" staff
member. It had been discussed
with Mayer on "three different
occasions," said David McFar-land,
the paper's former editor.
"We want to stay on campus," he
said.
The American Civil Liberties
Union (ACLU) is conducting a
"thorough investigation of Mc-
Farland's firing and the subse­quent
decision to break university
ties," according to Mary B.
Weilder, ACLU director.
"There seems to be a serious
violation of freedom of the press
and the first amendment," she
said. Weilder said neither shp
"nor the ACLU attorney had
discussed the situation with the
TSU administration."
any further on McFarland's firing
because of the Buckley amend­ment,
which preserves student
privacy concerning grades.
McFarland's grade-point-aver­age
has been waived two times by
the same board so that he could
continue to work on the newspa­per.
McFarland said that three is­sues
the paper covered resulted in
his firing. One issue was the
"There seems to be a serious
violation of freedom of the
press."—ACLU director
The reason for separation given
in the resolution was that the
"student publication should be
| free and independent of any rules,
| guidelines or policies established
by the University Publications
Board, whether they concern the
i selection of the editor, minimum
academic standards for the editor
and staff...or any other phase of
iits operation."
The administration, when con­tacted,
said that it didn't want to
'Comment any further on the
Issue.
The board cited McFarland's
fyw grade point average as the
:ason for his firing. The admini-xation
said it could hot comment
reported investigation of TSU
President Ralph Adams by the
Alabama Ethics Commission.
Another was the Department of
Public Safety's investigation into
the use of tax dollars at TSU.
The main issue was the propos­ed
elimination of philosophy and
religion courses at TSU. The
proposed elimination included the
firing of a tenured professor, who
was involved at the time in a
movement to get teachers' pay
raises.
When asked if the paper had
been "journalistically fair" with
the administration, McFarland
said, "Absolutely and without a
doubt as far as the news stories
were concerned." The stories
were carried in all the state
newspapers. "The editorials were
the opinion of the paper though,"
he said.
Financial and moral support
was given by the faculty and SGA
this past week when the Troy
State Education Association
(TSUEA) voted to establish a
fundraising committee to assist
the paper and the SGA passed a
resolution urging the University to
buy two full pages for TSU's
organizational news.
The TSUEA also passed a reso­lution
urging the administration
to reverse action against the
editor and the paper so that TSU
could have an outstanding pro­gram
that exemplifies the high
standards of journalism. The
TSUEA stressed that a complete
program for training was needed
in journalism, including a Univer­sity
supported newspaper.
The fundraising idea was pro­posed
to help the staff members
who rely on money for the paper
to live said Eva Carr, president of
the TSUEA, "but the students
wanted the money to go for the
paper instead."
Carr said she believed "that
there had to be more than grades
involved" in McFarland's firing.
"If that was all there had been
then he wouldn't have been hired
in the first place or he would've
been fired sooner," she said.
Radioactive waste burial said harmless
By Buddy Davis
Plainsman Staffwriter
Radioactive waste. The words
alone make most people shiver.
The thought that radioactive
wastes are being buried on the
Auburn campus might frighten us
even more. But, according to
Robert L.Bell, head of Office of
Radiological Safety, the wastes
are relatively harmless.
Bell said the wastes used at the
Nuclear Science Center could, by
state law, be dumped straight into
the sewer, where they would be
recycled within one week and
returned to the water supply.
Instead of pouring the waste down
the drain, the University decided
to bury it in drums in a site
approximately 200 yards from the
School of Veterinary medicine.
Bell said that most of what was
buried wasn't even partially
radioactive, and that the rest of
the materials had radioactivity
in minute amounts, well below the
maximum standards allowed by
state laws to be buried.
.Although the effects of large
amounts of radioactivity are
generally known, there has been
little or no research into the
effects of low-level radiation, Bell
said.
"Any radiation exposure has a
certain amount of harm to it."
Bell said the advantages of radio­activity
have to be weighed with
the disadvantages.
He added that there are many
natural, and man-made sources
of radiation that together give the
typical person "80 milli-roentgens
a year." The sources that are
buried are measured in the pico-roentgen
range, which is about
one-onehundred billionth of the
amount from the natural and
man-materials are in the nano
^and milli-roentgen range, but
most are nearly undetectable, he
said.
The wastes are buried once a
year, in a 100 feet by 400 feet field.
The wastes are required to be at
least four feet underground, but
have been buried 12 to 14 feet
instead, Bell said. The rows are 20
feet apart, and, the entire area is
marked by thin, concrete posts at
the corners.
The cost last year was about
$1,000, and would take $20,000 to
bury the wastes commercially.
He expects the fields to fill up "in
about 90 years, at the present
rate," he said.
The wastes will spread by
diffusing through the soil, and by
entering the water table, which he
said is over 100 feet deep. At the
Nuclear Science Center, drums
are kept for disposing of radio­active
samples. Once a year the
wastes are taken out of the
radioactive wastes dump and
placed in a trench.
3ach trench is tested for radio­activity
before the new wastes
are deposited, Bell said. The
stteam directly downhill from the
sitp is also tested regularly.
"There's never been anything
other than background radia-tiok,"
he said.
Alabama is stricter than any
othir state in regards to dumping
radiation into sewage systems.
Auburn's permit would allow one
curje per year, but since Auburn
geti "only a 10th" of that per year
in supplies, Bell said that we were
well within the limits.
Bdl has been in the nuclear
field since 1952, working with
nucUar weapons for the military
and on nuclear applications in the
civilian and space efforts. He said
that scientists "Thought that
fission reactors were a lot nicer
than biey actually were.
"MdJt people want .only the
good ifiat we get from nuclear
scienc*," and are "unwilling" to
accept the bad that goes with it,
Bell said.

Marriage
Mate Selection class offers students a personal view
A-9 Friday, April 11, 1980 The Auburn Plainsman
By Karen Hartley
Assistant Features Editor
Peering through the electives
for an easy, interesting five hour
course, a student comes across
one entitled "mate selection." A
wide grin spreads across his face
as his mind runs rampant at the
opportunities this class could un­fold.
Quickly, he signs up, breathing
a sigh of relief because he has
completed the arduous task of
filling out his schedule.
Entering class the first day, the
student seats himself among his
peers, glances around and sums
up the situation and the possible
prospects present.
After the first class, the student
realizes that he hasn't signed up
for a computer dating course. In
fact, the student has actually
signed up for a course that asks
him to "think about himself as a
potential marriage partner in
light of realities," explained
Charles Britt, course instructor,
adding that such realities might
include "changing roles of men
and women, the mobility of
society and relationships with
families and careers."
Britt, a clergyman, sits in his
office where an assortment of
books line one wall and small
pieces of paper pinned in various
places remind him of the things
he must do.
After instructing the course
full-time for one year and part-time
for three years previously,
Britt said that if the course had
altered any, "it has shifted
towards emphasis on individual
preparation for marriage."
Britt explained that there isn't
anything really unusual about the
class, but "I think it shakes some
of the students to hear me discuss
human sexuality as frankly as I
do."
Part of the class instruction
involves showing slides and pass­ing
around various models of
contraceptives, said one student,
adding that the instructor made it
clear that it is not required to
attend class on those days.
As for being shaken up by the
instructors' frank sex talks, one
student responded, "You're sur­prised
in the fact that you don't
really hear anybody talk about
it."
As for himself, Britt said that
he learned, "how utterly naive
and ignorant I was 30 years ago
when I got married." Another
thing he learned was how "a
great deal of that naivete and
ignorance is still around."
Britt added that the course is
intended to be a more personal
one, which is difficult because of
the size of the classes. "There are
340 students each quarter which
are divided up into three class
sections."
In those classes, Britt esti­mated
43 percent male and 57
percent female, something he
hoped would change in the future.
"I think males in our society are
not conditioned /toward human
sensitivity perhaps to the degree
that females are."
"Males have a great deal of
difficulty in communicating such
emotions as anxiety, loneliness
and self-doubt," he added.
80 students vie for AU cheerleader,
panel to tap thirteen new members
•~&& ™>JJ&{*(
By Jo Beth McDaniel
Plainsman Staffwriter
This week 80 students have
been jumping, kicking, yelling
and exercising to the point of
exhaustion-all for the chance to
be Auburn cheerleaders.
Cheerleader clinic and prac­tices
were held last Monday and
Tuesday to prepare the partici­pants
for tryouts next week.
Many of these students have been
practicing for months on their
own.
Mock tryouts will be held
Monday, April 14. The first real
tryouts will start at 3:30 p.m.
Tuesday at the Memorial
Coliseum. The judges will then
select 24 females and 26 males for
Wednesday's tryouts. This group
will be doing partner stunts and
dance routines and will be judged
on their spirit, crowd appeal,
jumps and coordination.
Half of these cheerleader hope­fuls
will go on to the individual
interviews on Thursday. The
judges' final selections will be
announced at Toomer's Corner 11
p.m. April 17.
Six female and seven male
cheerleaders will be chosen, with
one of the males serving as the
head cheerleader. Two alternates
are also chosen.
The panel of judges will include
the former Auburn head cheer­leader,
professional judges from
the National Cheerleader
Association and University
C h e e r l e a d e r A s s o c i a t i o n,
Auburn's spirit director and the
Auburn men and women's ath­letic
directors.

Whether male or female, the
purpose of the course remains the
same. According to the syllabus,
it is to "consider some com­ponents
of a successful family
and marriage: cultural, familial,
personal, sexual." Other aspects
include thinking about courtship
and marriage in American
society; and engaging in self-evaluation
as one contemplates
marriage."
Continuing, the syllabus under­mines
the motives of many
students who are expecting a crip
course by stating "this course is
not meant to be an easy 'A'."
As a clergyman, Britt finds that
sometimes he will interject bibli­cal
values into his lectures.
"But," he said, "I tell my
students that piety cannot be a
substitute for thinking.".
As for his students, three males
interviewed who took the class
Winter quarter admitted they
held no preconceived ideas as
to what the class would be like.
Once they had taken the class
though, they agreed that they had
learned some attitudes about
marriage. "It's something that
all the students at Auburn could
use," said one student, "I think it
should be required to the whole
United States so you wouldn't
have so many divorces."
Another student commented
"most people would have laughed
at the class" but added that
personally, he would recommend
it.

Funderburk said the proposed
complex of buildings for the
School of Engineering will remain
the top building priority on cam­pus.
"I think that priority had
been set prior to my coming and I
agree with that priority."
Regarding relations with the
SGA and other campus organiza­tions,
the new president said he
plans to meet with the newly
elected SGA officers "on a quar­terly
or monthly b a s i s ."
"I think we were successful at
AUM in working with students
and we'll start off here in the
same fashion," said Funderburk.
" I t ' s very important that a good
relationship be maintained."
Funderburk said he foresees no
immediate liberalization of Au­burn's
student life regulations,
such a s dorm visitation and rules
against drinking on campus.
" I 'm not familiar with all the
details of the policies at this
campus," he said, "but I don't
know of any I would change

said.

Time
Gladiators
use spring
to prepare
By Ed Moore
Sports Editor
Worn and tired, he retreated off
the arena floor, blood trickling
down his face. His eyes mirrored
his mind, completely exhausted,
but prepared to keep fighting if
necessary.
Still in the arena, on stage, were
his comrades, one getting up
slowly, with an obviously painful
limp as others looked on and
shouted encouragement.
"Hang in there, you're all right,
way to hit "em." "That's the way
to hit that sucker.''' 'What does he
think he's doing making a move
like that, punish 'em."
Others sit in silence, their
bodies and spirits defeated. Still
others watch in silence for their
chance to go into the fray. The
last group goes through the
motions over and over again,
honing their skills.
But there are no rabid fans, no
one screaming for blood, for
blood's sake.
And unlike the other famous
gladiators 2,000 years before
them, this is not a life-and-death
struggle for the glory and honor
of Rome.
Rather, it's a struggle for pride
and honor. Personal pride, and
the honor to represent that which
they've chosen to represent,
Auburn University.
No, no one is being sacrificed at
spring football practice, unless
throwing walk-ons with little or no
chance to dress out on Saturdays
into the front lines is considered
a sacrifice.
But this is the time of year,
"when you build and make a
football team," according to
Head Coach Doug Barfield.
And in all that hitting, some­thing
will be built or made,
whether it be good or bad. It
appears to be good.
Veterans, victims of gradua­tion,
instruct the younger gladia­tors
in how to hit, or how to out
think and out move. Some com­plain
of the fierce competition,
others voice their complaints
through their actions on the field.
All are competitive. They have
to be, they're fighting for the right
to be a Saturday Hero, for the
right to replace former heroes,
most of which will soon be forgot­ten
by their adoring public.
But the pain and the frustration
are worth it. Pride and honor
come before illusions of gran­deur.
The idea is not to be
remembered, but to do one's best.
Coaches plod and scream, ask­ing,
pleading for more effort. Few
words are said by anyone words
aren't necessary, everyone knows
what he has to do. Not everyone
will do it.
Those that do will be the new
heroes to the crowds that fill the
seats. Those that don't are still
heroes, just not to as many
people.
The day that began with a
lecture and an encouraging word,
ends with a shot to the ribs and a
discouraging word.
Finally the best part of the day
arrives. The air is cool, the sun is
down and practice is over. Every­one
walks slowly to the dressing
room, filing out the thin opening
of the spacious bubble. Tommor-row
it will be more of the same,
but tonight it's evaluation, per­sonal
praise or condemnation,
and a quiet night in street clothes.
And no one knows who they are;
at least not yet.
Notes: Barfield is apparently
committed to improving the
defense; changing coaching posi­tions
and experimenting with a
4-3 defensive alignment. But even
more importantly, the team has
one more year of experience and
no one wants to repeat last year's
debacle...
The U.S. Olympic delegates
meet tommorrow and Saturday to
vote on President Carter's
Olympic boycott "proposal."
Although Carter insists the U.S. is
not going, the U.S. delegates are
more optimistic. More opinions
are swayed each day and the
Athletics Congree has instructed
its eight delegates to vote against
the boycott. However, the vote of
the other 292 delegates is un­certain.
Rest assured, it will be
close.
CBS, strongest men coming to Plains
By Kevin O'Keefe
Plainsman Sportswriter
Eight NFL All-Pro football
players, and 25 of the nation's top
powerlifters will be competing for
12 world strength titles at the
Memorial Coliseum next Friday
and Saturday, April 18, 19
CBS-TV sportcasters Jayne
Kennedy, Tom Brookshier and
either Dick Stockton or Ken
Squier will also be at Auburn both
days. The network will be taping
"The Strongest Man in Football"
and "The World Series of Power-lifting"
contests for replay na­tionally
on "CBS Sports Spectacu­lar."
On Friday, Larry Brown, John
Kolb and Mike Webster, of the
world champion Pittsburgh
Steelers, will join Cleveland's
Lyle Alzado, St. Louis' Bob
Young, Houston's Curly Culp,
San Diego's Doug Wilkerson and
Buffalo's Joe DeLamielleure in
the Coliseum at 7:30 p.m. They
will vie for the title of their sport's
strongest player.
Saturday, the world's second
most prestigious powerliftlng
championship, involving nine
past or present world champions,
will be staged here. Eleven titles
are at stake. Two sessions will be
held, the lighter weight classes at
1 p.m .and the heavyweights and
superheavy weights at 7:30 p.m.
Both are first-time events and
are expected to remain at Auburn
for future years.
Webster, whose string of 72
straight games as Pittsburgh's
center is tops among the team's
active players, says the Steelers
should have a good showing.
