Committee allocates extra funds
By Steve Farish
Managing Editor
The Senate Budget and Finance
Committee voted Tuesday night to
recommend to the SGA -senate4hat
it allocate $25,732.50 to 70-different
student activities.
The recommendation by the
committee came after it received
$29,405 extra in student activities
fees after they were raised 50 cents
this fall. The $3,627.50 that was not
allocated by the committee will be
placed in an activities reserve fund
that already totals $15,000.
The largest single benefactor of
the funds was the Auburn Plains­man,
which received $13,117.50
from the committee. The money
will go toward meeting an increase
in printing costs for the newspaper
which occurred during the sum­mer.
- The committee recommended
that the University Program Coun­cil
(UPC receive $6,715. Five hun­dred
dollars is allocated toward
printing press supplies, $500 to
replace sleeping bags, $500 for
brochures, $3,000 for a "Spring
Fling" and $2,215 for four summer
dances.
The SGA itself was given $1,748,
$828 to supply new uniforms to the
War Eagle Girls (official Univer­sity
hostesses), $100 for the Mrs.

and $420 for a raise for the SGA's
secretary.
The Tiger Cub, the official
student handbook, was allocated
$1,770. That sum restores the
amount that was originally cut
from the publication's budget last
spring by the Budget Committee.
WEGL, the student radio station,
received $1,150. Five hundred dol­lars
will go to broadcast hockey
games, $375 will go toward an
engineer's salary, $125 toward a
new cassette recorder and $150 to
buy records from the Arista
Record Company.
The Circle, the Auburn literary
magazine, was allocated $732. Two
hundred and twenty- nine dollars
will be used for debt payments and
$693 will defer an increase in
printing costs. The organization's
offer to return $200 to the commit­tee
that it had not spent under its
travel budget was accepted.
Finally, the lectures organiza­tion
was granted $500 to secure
'additional speakers.
Organizations which requested
but were denied additional funds
included the Glomerata, Recrea­tional
Services and the Religious
Affairs Committee.
The recommendations of the
committee will now go before the
senate next Monday night to be
approved, committee chairman
Betsi Vogel said.
She added that when approved,
the organizations, with the excep­t
i o n of the SGA, do not have to
^follow to letter the recommenda­t
i o n of the committee; rather, they
can allocate the money in the
fashion they wish.

In a meeting with the general
faculty Tuesday afternoon Auburn
president Hanly Funderburk urged
faculty members to "join forces
and move together" toward an
ultimate goal of a "superior educa­tion
for men and women who are
used to high quality, so they will
leave ready to assume productive,
creative roles in our society."
Funderburk's address was de­signed
to give the faculty a status
report on Auburn University, de­termine
prospects for next year,
and answer any questions concern­ing
policies made by the admini­stration.
Funderburk introduced the
faculty to who he termed the "key
men" in his administration Dr.
Rex Rainer, executive vice-presi­dent,
Dr. Stanley Wilson, vice
president of agriculture, Dr.
Grover Jacobs, financial advisor to
the president, Dr. Harold Grant,
dean of students, and Dr. Dan
Holsenbeck, director of University
Relations.
' 'Since most of our problems deal
with money, we have spent most of
our time dealing with financial
problems," Funderburk explained,
adding that his administration was
faced with a $3.6 million shortfall in
total revenue because of proration.
"In view of all these problems, we
were still able to provide a salary
increase of 4-8 percent," he said.
"We said faculty salaries would be
a high priority, and we believe we
have held it in high priority."
Funderburk assured the faculty
they will have input in administra­tive
policies through committee
and "program planning." A prior­ities
committee and an executive
council will be set up to "look at
various segments of the Univer­sity"
and provide the University
with a comprehensive three to five
year plan.
"This is the first time we have
had the opportunity to look, aL
anything other than a fiscal bank­rupt
campus," said the president.
Funderburk predicted the com­mittee
work will be completed by
winter quarter and then called for
an internal "Self-study" of the
university in the fall of 1981, which

Funderburk:
Management
critical in 1980s
By Jimmy Sailors
Plainsman Staff writer
Auburn University President
Hanly Funderburk placed himself
on the firing line last Thursday
night as he answered questions put
to him by listeners of WEGL's
public affairs talk show, "On the
Air."
Question topics introduced by the
call-in audience and Milton
Hudson, the show's host, varied
from funding and proration to
campus living conditions and
Funderburk's views on gay rights.
Throughout the hour-long pro­gram,
Funderburk answered what
questions he could and admitted
his lack of knowledge about the
others. Most of the program's 21
callers asked the president two or
more questions, and on two oc­casions
Funderburk had questions
of his own to ask the callers.
The program began with several
general questions from Hudson
concerning the new president's
plans for Auburn University.
Funderburk related his previous
job as president of Auburn Univer­sity
at Montgomery to the first
question concerning what talents
he had brought with him to Auburn.
"I hope that I've brought some
experience in terms of better pro­grams,
in terms of management,
and I think that in order to survive
during the realm of the '80s,
management is going to be more
critical," Funderburk said.
"I think that we've been success­ful
in recent y e a r s , " he continued,
"in terms of selecting faculty -
qualified faculty - and maintaining
good faculty; and I think that those
are very important things, too."
When asked later if he was in
favor of cutting down on the
number of institutions of higher
learning in the state in order to
provide more funds for the rest of
the schools, Funderburk question-

Plainsman takes '79-'80 Pacemaker award
The 1979-80 Plainsman has been
named a winner of one of the five
Pacemaker awards given annually
by the Associated Collegiate Press
to the best college newspapers in
America.
The Plainsman and four other
student-edited newspapers were
selected for Pacemaker awards
from among the more than 500
student newspapers judged by the
ACP this year as part of its
national critical service.
The award for the 1979-80 marks
the eighth time The Plainsman has
achieved Pacemaker status. The
Plainsman previously received the
Pacemaker in 1967 and 1968 and
established a national record by
winning the award five years in a
row from 1972 through 1976.
"Getting a Pacemaker is kind of
like beating Alabama in football,"
said Rick Harmon, editor of the
1979-80 Plainsman. "You dream
about doing it every year but it
doesn't happen very often.
" I t ' s incredible, I've gotten the
two things I wanted most out of
life—a Pacemaker for The Plains­man
and a girl, but not necessarily in
that order."
To be eligible for a Pacemaker, a
paper must first receive an All-
American rating and Marks of
Distinction in all five categories of
the ACP critical review. Those
categories include coverage and
content, writing and editing, editor­ial
leadership and opinion features,
physical appearance visual com­munication
and photography, art
and the use of graphics.
Paul Buys, director of the ACP
critical service, said 6o student
papers received the five Marks of
Distinction and that the five Pace­maker
winners were chosen from
those60for exhibiting, "exceptional
content, editorial leadership and
visionary design.
"The five star rating shows
you're the best and the Pacemaker
shows you're the best of the best."
Other Pacemaker winners are
the Indiana Daily Student, the
Tulane Hullabaloo, the Miami-
Dade Community College Falcon-times
and the University of Wis­consin
at Eau Clair Spectator.
Senate candidates call for spending cutbacks
Editor's note: On Nov. 4, Ala-bamians
will go to the polls to
select a new United States senator.
Jim Folsom of Montgomery, son of
former Gov. "Big Jim" Folsom, is
the Democratic nominee, and
Adm. Jeremiah Denton of Mobile,
a prisoner of war during the
Vietnam War, is the Republican
nominee. The comparisons below
were compiled by Plainsman Man­aging
Editor Steve Farish from
interviews, newspaper articles and
platform statements.
THE ECONOMY
FOLSOM has called deficit
spending by the government the
major impediment to economic
growth. He says the limiting of
federal spending can be do:ne
without cutting back on federal
social programs because his pro­duction-
incentive tax cuts would
eventually result in higher tax
revenues. By cutting government
sector spending, Folsom believes
inflation can be arrested.
DENTON attributes at least
some of our economic weakness to
weakness in foreign affairs thai
"have opene* the wi for OPE1
triple (oilj prices in one day. i_,iKe
Folsom, he believes the federal
budget must be cut, but he believes
that some social programs will
have to be cut back as a result.
Denton says he sees a good deal of
waste and fraud in programs such
as the Food Stamp Program that
can be corrected.
TAXES
DENTON is in favor of only the
first year of the three-year Kemp
Roth tax cuts, a plan that would
reduce personal income taxes 10
percent. He also proposes tax relief
plans for industry that would ac­celerate
the time it takes to de­preciate
capital for tax purposes,
along with a proposal to give tax
credit to factories which locate in
blighted zones of cities. He has
called for the indexing of personal
taxes to account for inflation as
well.
FOLSOM also ' advocates tax
relief for individuals, though he
does not like the Kemp-Roth plan.
He supports indexing of taxes,
abolition of federal inheritance
taxes and double taxation of cor­porate
stock dividends, and the
elimination of taxes on sayings
account interest. For corporations,
Folsom feels the acceleration of
depreciation schedules is impera­tive
to aid industries such as the
Alabama steel industry.
INDUSTRY REGULATION
Both men are making elimi­nation
of bverregulation of indus­t
ry a cornerstone of their cam­paigns.
FOLSOM says cutbacks are
needed in the Department of En­ergy,
the Environmental Pro­tection
Agency and the Occupa­tional
Safety and Health Adminis­tration.
He adds he is "firmly
opposed to government interven­tion
in America's business inter­e
s t s ."
DENTON complains that regula­tion
has acted as a "compensary
deterrent to modernize" industry.
He pledges to attempt to control
the controllers.
DEFENSE
As a former admiral and pri
soner of war, Denton says he is
particularly qualified to address
defense question. He favors the
return of the draft, but does not
support the drafting of women. He
calls for $6-$10 billion additional
defense spending to finance the
production of the B-l bomber, the
neutron bomb and missile-launch
submarines. He does not support
construction of the MX missile
system because it would take so
long that the hardware could be
obsolete when it is finally finished.
Denton also has called for pay
hikes to attract higher quality
people to the armed services as a
career.
FOLSOM favors draft registra­tion
but not the return of the draft
itself. He advocates construction of
the MX system, more inter-conti­nental
ballistic missiles and mis­sile-
launch submarines. He warns
that if higher pay cannot be garner­ed
for military men, some type of
short, mandatory stint in the
armed forces could become neces­sary.
He also warns against giving
the Pentagon too much money,
because he says military spending
is not always healthy.
ABORTION
FOLSOM says he would like to
see abortion laws remain basically
the same; he emphasized that he

Rescuers located the bodies of 1,500 earthquake
victims in the rubble of the Algerian city of Al Asnam

CARTER-REAGAN DEBATE POSSIBLE?
With the presidential election only two and a half
weeks away, the possibility of another debate, this
time between candidates Reagan and Carter, has
become a distinct possibility. If John Anderson's
candidacy, after a review by the League of Women
Voters, the sponsor of the proposed debates, has
fizzled to an insignificant point, then the league would
exclude him paving the way for a Carter-Reagan
debate.
By Karen Hartley
Assistant News Editor
The closing time for the Ralph
Brown Draughon Library will be
extended back to its original hours,
beginning Monday, said Dr. Taylor
Littleton, vice president of aca­demic
affairs.
Beginning Monday, the library
hours will be 7:45 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Monday through Thursday; 7:i5
a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday; 9 a.m. to 6
p.m. Saturday and 1 to 11 p.m.
Sunday.
The architecture library hours
have also been changed. Beginning
Oct. 25, the library will be open
from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday.
The library was previously
closed on Saturday. The weekly
hours will remain the same.
The money to employ more
student assistants to work the
extra hours was obtained by un­freezing
a clerical position and
transferring the wages for that
position to the student employ­ment,
Littleton said.
"Under the circumstances,
that's the best we could do," he
said.
Trey Ireland, SGA president,
said, "We're pleased that the ad­ministration
changed the hours
back, but they shouldn't have been
changed in the first place."
In a speech to the SGA cabinet
Monday, Dr. Rex Rainer, execu­tive
vice president, said that as far
as the library is concerned, the
setting of priorities should go to­wards
the financial situation of the
collections rather than concen­trating
on library operating hours.
Because of level funding, and 11
schools will have to cut back a total
of $175-$200,000 on their periodi­cals.
Rainer suggested that perhaps
the library should be exempt from
certain proration cuts in the future.
UA-Troy State merger plans being prepared
By John Mangels
News Editor
Plans for the merger of the
University of Alabama and Troy
State University could be ready for
presentation to the Alabama State
Legislature by 1981, but no similar
consolidation of schools is pre­sently
under consideration for
Auburn, Executive Vice President
Rex Rainer said Tuesday.
"I just don't know the benefits of
such a merger," Rainer said. "I
don't believe there would be any
reduction of operating costs
through such a combination. To my
knowledge, there is nothing like
this currently planned for
Auburn."
Troy State officials have often
been criticized for the number of
small campuses operated by the
school. Should the consolidation
occur, the University of Alabama
System, with campuses in Tus­caloosa,
Birmingham and Hunts-ville,
would combine with the Troy
campuses in Montgomery, Phenix
City and Dothan-Fort Rucker.
Discussion of the merger was
first publicized in August, 1979 and
have centered on how the two
institutions could relate to each
other, according to UA Chancellor
False fire alarms lead to student arrests
By Abby Pettiss
Assistant Technical Editor
Three Auburn students have
been arrested in connection with a
series of false fire alarms set off in
the new University student apart­ments.
Campus Security is witholding
the names of the students and other
information pertaining to the cases
because one of the defendants
already has been tried under the
youthful offender law. This rule
keeps all court records sealed. The
two remaining defendants might
also be tried under the youthful
offender law and therefore infor­mation
is being held pending trial.
There have been 13 false alarms
at the new dorms since Sept. 13,
said Capt. Hubert Carmack,
enforcement officer for the Auburn
Fire Department.
"Over a year we normally have
13-15 false alarms," Carmack said.
Senate
From page A-l
would determine a 10-year plan for
Auburn.
The president said the board of
trustees had requested a 19.69
percent increase in the 1980-81
budget from the legislature. He
also expressed a need for extra
funding for renovation on Auburn's
campus.
"We have a lot of space here, and
a lot of buildings need improve­ment,"
said Funderburk.
"It is time for a concerted effort
by all of us," he said, "We need to
start moving out in the state to see
the students in this University get
their fair share in tax dollars that
come to this state for higher
education."
Funderburk announced that the
capital campaign fund drive which
has been on Auburn's campus for
about ten months, is finally "ready
to move into its first phase."
"We realize we will probably not
be very successful in getting all the
monies requested from the state,"
he said. "That is why we have
consultants on campus to deter­mine
our potential of money from
the private sector."
"There are people out there
waiting and eager to move forward
to help us solve some of our
problems."
Funderburk said he has worked
on, seen and approved some of the
proposals from the drive, citing
engineering as a high priority on
the campaign.
"We aren't usually plagued with
false alarms except for minor ones.
These 13 have been primarily at
one complex."
Campus Security is particularly
concerned. "There have always
been false alarms, but it's gotten
worse now," said Millard Dawson,
chief of campus police. "Campus
Security works with the fire de­partment
and the fire marshal, but
the dorms are under campus juris­diction.
We have to consider them
(all false alarms) as real fires. It
takes time away from other
things."
Dawson also said the department
will prosecute all people caught.
"People think it's just a practical
joke and they don't think of the
implications. Those alarms have to
be reset, and if they're not reset
properly and something does
occur, it could cause a death," said
Dawson.
The Auburn false alarm cases
are tried in the Auburn city court,
where the maximum penalty upon
conviction is a $500 fine and six
months in jail.

Joseph Volker, the spokesman for
the consolidation.
Volker told The Montgomery
Advertiser Saturday the combining
of the two universities would nec­essitate
a larger board of trustees,
something University of Alabama
officials have requested in the past.
Volker said he had been impress­ed
with Troy State's use of a $4.4
million request to the university to
establish chairs in journalism,
business and nursing. "I think this
is an indication of Troy's desire to
build a quality program," Volker
told The Advertiser.
Rainer said he wasn't qualified
to comment on whether the merger
pointed toward a trend in Alabama
higher educaiton, though a "flag­ship
university" concept has been
discussed in regard to future legis­lative
funding.
"I firmly believe reforms in
higher education are necessary in
this state, and I suppose it's
possible some reforms could come
through a university system of this
sort," Rainer said.

Townspeople voice needs at City Council meeting
By Peggy Wilhide
Assistant News Editor
In the second of two public
hearings required by federal law to
determine a priorities list for a
HUD sponsored Federal Commu­nity
Block Grant Loan, Auburn
citizens voiced need for federal aid
in various areas of the community.
The purpose of the meeting, held
Monday at 7:30 p.m. in the council
chambers of the Auburn Police
Department, was to "provide each
citizen with an opportunity to
participate in an advisory role in
planning and implementing the
community development pro­gram,"
said Auburn Community
Development Director Frank
Scully.
After gathering input from citi­zens
during the meeting, a 35-
member Citizens Advisory Com­mittee
met to determine which
projects would be funded if the
grant is provided by HUD.
The CAC, headed by Rev.
Charles Britt, voted to apply for the
maximum grant provided by HUD,
2.5 million over a 3-year period,
and then listed projects which they
felt the citizens had expressed the
most need for. High on the list of
priorities were water and sewer
lines, paving dirt roads, rehabilita­tion
of houses and administrative
costs, including enough funds for a
new comprehensive plan for the
city and a new zoning ordinance.
Several social service organiza­tions
which were represented at
the meeting Monday were also
lobbying for HUD funds. Groups
such as the Auburn Day Care
Center, East Alabama Service for
the Elderly (EASE), The Mental
Health Center and Project Uplift,
were tapped to receive monies to
continue programs funded by HUD
grants from previous years.
Requests were made to build
bicycle paths and pedestrian walk­ways
with the grant money, but the
suggestion soon took a back seat to
what others considered more vital
projects.
"The competition for the loan is
very stiff," said Scully. "We must
show that bicycle paths on Wire
Road are related to lower income
areas, and how many bike paths
will help lower income areas."
A member of the audience
agreed, stating the bike paths
"would have a poor chance of
getting approved despite how good
and necessary they might be.
"I came to this meeting to
support bicycle paths," said Roy
Grabow, "but now I urge the
council to consider bicycle paths
under different grants." He sug­gested
a loan from the Department
of Transportation as a possible
alternative.
Mayor Jan Dempsey told bicycle
path supporters "not to get dis­couraged,"
reminding them it was
not "an either or situation.
"The council is plannning a long
range study for the development of
Auburn. Bike lanes and paths
would certainly be part of this."
Dempsey asked students to ob­serve
systems of bike paths in their
hometowns which would be feas-able
and workable in Auburn.
The general consensus of the
hearing seemed to be the Federal
Community Development Block
Grant Loan "should be used to
provide water, sewerage and a
half-way decent place to live," said
Scully.
Residents of Goose Hollow, a
22-family community outside the
city limits of Auburn, presented a
petition during the meeting asking
for help from the city of Auburn.
The wells in Goose "Hollow have
been declared "contaminated" by
the Health Department and resi­dents
were told "don't drink the
water."
A harsh winter will leave many
low-income families in need of
assistance for payment of fuel
bills, pointed out one citizen. Ap­proximately
78 families in Auburn
are without bathrooms, and water
and sewage lines still do not reach
some homes, he said.
Scully and the CAC will present
the recommendations for alloca­tions
of the grant money to the City
Council early next month. The
council has the final work in
determining the priorites of the
loan, the final word in determining
the priorities of the loan, said
Scully.
Auburn will be competing with
all other small cities in Alabama
for the loan. Competition is based
on a point system of program
impact, benefit to low and
moderate income areas and per­formance.
Rely tampons blamed for toxic shock cases
By JoBeth McDaniel
Plainsman Staffwriter
When Rely tampons were intro­duced,
their makers claimed that
the product would absorb "even
the worry." Now, less than a year
later, Rely tampons have created a
wave of concern unprecedented in
the feminine hygiene products.
The concern is over the 344
reported cases of toxic shock syn­drome
since the first of this year.
Twenty-nine of these cases re­sulted
in death, and the over­whelming
majority of the TSS
victims were found to be menstru­ating
women who used tampons.
According to the Federal Center
for Disease Control in Atlanta, 71
percent of these women used Rely
tampons, 19 percent used Playtex
brand and the remaining 10 per­cent
used Tampax, Kotex or O.B.
brands of tampons.
Dr. Judith Hood, director of the
Student Health Center, recom­mended
that women stop continual
use of any tampons until more is
know about the disease.
"College-age women have been
affected by toxic shock syndrome
more than any other age group, so
they must be more careful than
anyone else," Hood said.
"The symptoms of foxic shock
include fever, a face rash, head­aches
and a drop in blood pressure.
We haven't treated anyone for the
syndrome yet but it is curable and
we know how to treat it."
Procter and Gambel, the manu­facturers
of Rely, voluntarily
withdrew Rely supplies from
stores and halted further produc­tion
of the product. A company
spokesman said they had taken this
action despite that there has been
no strong evidence that Rely tam­pons
do in fact cause TSS and
despite that we know of no defect in
the tampon."
A check of area stores showed
that in Lee County, Rely tampons
were taken off the shelves during
the last month.
Researchers are undecided as
to what causes the disease, but
their findings suggest it is trig­gered
by a common bacteria,
Staphylococcus aureus, which has
been found in the vaginas of 98
percent of TSS victims.
Tampon makers have in the last
few years begun using super absor-bant
cellulose fibers and some
researchers believe the new ma­terial
may serve as a breeding
ground for the staph germs. Others
believe the tampons which are
made to last longer cause vaginal
blood to pool, creating an environ­ment
conducive to the bacterial
growth.
Whatever the cause, all re­searchers
agree that women

calls for funding re-evaluation
By Steve Farish
Managing Editor
The SGA senate passed a resolu­tion
Monday night calling on the
governor and Legislature to re­evaluate
"their funding for Auburn
University."
Auburn's senators expressed
unanimously their concern that the
University's "programs are suffer­ing
because of a lack of adequate

left to individual states.
DENTON favors a constitutional
amendment prohibiting abortions
in most cases.
ACTIVIST CONSERVATIVE
RELIGIOUS GROUPS
Such groups as Moral Majority,
says FOLSOM have overstepped
their appropriate bounds with their
activities. He said he would like to
determine whether such activity
by conservative religious groups
does not constitute political acti­vity
and a violation of their tax-exempt
status.
DENTON says he agrees with
the groups that America has stray­ed
from its Judeo-Christian heri­tage
toward a "secularly human­istic
base." He says "we cannot
legislate morality, but we should
morally legislate." Denton adds
that he feels in some respects the
religious groups have been over-zealous
and have used religion too
much as a "demagogic tool."
EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT
DENTON said he favors federal
statutes that guarantee equal pay
for women, but he does not support
the ERA itself.
FOLSOM supports the ERA and
is undecided on the issue of extend­ing
the time allowed to ratify the
amendment.

instructors" in the resolution. They
attributed the decline directly to
"insufficient funding."
Senate President Scott Small-wood
asked the senators to follow
through on the resolution. He said
the SGA should involve itself with
the University lobbying program.
The senate also made an emer­gency
appropriation of $828 to the
War Eagle Girls (official hostesses
of Auburn University) to purchase
new uniforms.
Those uniforms had come in this
week and the difference needed to be
made up quickly so the uniforms
could be used, said Betsy Vogel,
chairman of the Senate Budget and
Finance Committee.
The SGA will be paid back after
the group receives $828 of the $30,000
the Budget Committee has ear­marked
to student activities, Vogel
added.
In other business, the senate
passed a proposed addition to the
Constitution that would change
attendance and appointment poli­cies
of the summer senate.
The amendment, which will have
to be approved by students during
homecoming elections Nov. 6, says a
ship in the summer student senate
if he is absent from two regular
meetings." In addition, the a-mendment
would require that ap­pointments
to the summer senate
be approved by the SGA president
and a two-thirds vote of the
summer senate.
To pass a constitution amend­ment,
30 percent of the student body
must vote, and two-thirds of those
must vote "yes."
Approval was given by the
senate to the appointment of Celia
Norris, 1 GC, as an ex-officio
member of the Student Welfare
Committee.

Library hurdles
Auburn University's administration has
jumped the first hurdle in solving its library
problems by reinstating the 11 p.m. closing
time, but there are still several more even
larger ones left to leap.
One of the largest problems, Executive
Vict President Rex Rainer pointed out to the
SGA -senate and cabinet Monday night, is
the extreme cutback in the amount appro­priated
to the library to buy periodicals.
Dr. Don Olliff, chairman of the library
committee, estimates that periodical pur­chases
will be currailed 25 percent. "That's
like cutting your arm and letting yourself
bleed for an hour as far as the library is
concerned," he said.
The situation is indeed bleak, and there is
every indication the cutbacks will have to be
Firing line
For the first time in his young term as
Auburn's president, Hanly Funderburk
made a real effort last week to make himself
available to answer the questions of students
and faculty members when he went "On the
Air'' on WEGL last Thursday and spoke at a
general faculty meeting Tuesday.
For the most part, Funderburk responded
quickly and candidly to the student's
inquiries. He seemed to want to convey the
optimism he feels about Auburn's future,
even when faced with the question of one
student who asked Funderburk to give him a
good reason why he should stay at Auburn.
At the faculty meeting, the questions were
somewhat more complex, and the face-to-made
this year. But Rainer offered in his
answer session a solution for the future.
He suggested that the library should be
partially exempt from funding cuts when
proration makes them a necessity. That way,
he explains, one of the most vital (sources) of
intellectual activity on campus could con­tinue
its needed level of service.
Rainer's reasoning is very sound. It takes a
quality library to attract quality faculty and
students to a university, and Auburn should
be willing to commit itself to protecting its
library.
If such a plan should become reality,
another hurdle in the race to provide Auburn
a first class library will be behind us.
face format made them more intense. The
main issue of debate stemmed from a
Funderburk directive outlining new proce­dures
for centralizing the University's lobby­ing
effort. Some faculty members are
concerned that the directive endangers their
academic freedom to speak out.
Funderburk's response to one question
about the directive was that "far too many
rumors are floating around and it's time to
start dealing with facts, because in fact is
where we find the truth."
If Funderburk really believes that, he may
consider making himself accessible for more
question and answer sessions such as those he
attended in the past week.
Get registered
There is a lot of talk this presidential
election year about the choices for president.
One poll indicates that as many as 40 percent
of American voters are dissatisfied with the
candidates the primary system has produced.
Many of those complaints, indeed pro­bably
the majority of those complaints, come
from persons who failed to vote in last
spring's presidential primary.
American voters have a chance to change
that attitude, but time is running out. The
deadline for voters to register tor the Nov. 4
presidential and local elections is Oct. 24. A
registration drive is presently in progress at
the Civil Defense office near the Lee County
Courthouse in Opelika.
Registration will be held daily from 9-12
a.m. and from 1-4 p.m. To be eligible to
vote, a student must have lived in Lee County
for the thirty days prior to the election and
must bring the names and addresses of two
registered voters in Auburn who know him.
Pacemaker comes back
It has been a long time coming.
For the past five years, the goal of every
Plainsman editor and staff has been to bring
the Pacemaker, the equivalent of football's
Heisman Trophy, back to Auburn.
Last week, we received word that the
1979-80 Plainsman, last year's edition, had
done it.
For the eighth time in its history and the
first time since 1976, The Plainsman has been
honored with the most prestigious of all
college newspaper awards.
The Pacemaker, of course, makes all who
are associated with The Plainsman proud of
the work they do. The long hours and missed
classes have been worth it. But it also makes
us think hard about the freedom we're given
at Auburn and the responsibility that goes
along with that freedom.
We read of student editors at Baylor and
Troy State being fired because something
they'd written didn't set well with the
administrations of those institutions, and we
consider our own situation. Plainsman editors
are free to make their own editorial decisions
without coercion or threat of censorship from
anyone. Even our faculty adviser, a profes­sional
journalist, leaves all decisions of
editorial policy to students.
We feel the responsibility and freedom
given The Plainsman has had something to
do with making it a fair, responsible
newspaper, and we are thankful for it. It
reflects well on this University and has
fostered an atmosphere in which The
Plainsman has achieved national promi­nence.
But lest we rest on our laurels, we must
remember that even one of the five best
college papers in the country can and does
still make mistakes. And we realize that no
matter how many awards we win, we must
constantly strive for improvement.
As our readers have no doubt noticed, The
Plainsman has undergone several changes in
appearance this year. We hope these changes,
coupled with the dedication of the many fine
people who contribute each week to the
paper, can help bring a ninth Pacemaker to
Auburn.

In two of America's greatest cities, the battle
rages beneath flags of red, white and blue.
Thousands mob the scene to cheer on their
personal favorite. Writers and photographers
descend on the battleground like vultures on a
dying animal.
The stakes are high. At the end of the hard
campaign, a winner will be crowned to reign as
the champion until unseated by the next group
of rising stars.
A single mistake could wipe out all the toil and
spent energy of a long, hot summer. Staffs
huddle to talk in hushed tones of the proper
strategy with which to take their opponent to
the mat.
The writers faithfully record the
generalities cast about by those on either side.
The protagonists' every movement, every smile
and every frown are dissected for their
meanings and effects on the outcome of the
contest.
Interviews are read and re-read, records
compared and re-compared. No part of either
organization's background is left unanalyzed.
It is a traditional event. In years past, men of
greatness have emerged from such contests,
men who captured the American imagination
Scott
Thurston
and came to be identified in the minds of the
citizenry with everything that has made this
country great.
For some, it is the historical link that makes
the outcome so important. They have devoted
their lives, some remembering the exhortations
of parents and grandparents, to the unbending
support of their side. They know it is the right
thing to do.
For others, it is the moment that counts.
The crowds swell as the contest nears its
conclusion. Whole families put aside routine to
drink in the atmosphere of a great victory
waiting to be won. They cheer on their side,
shout down the opposition. Then they go home
to re-create the day's events in arguments with
friends over mugs of beer.
For the men directly involved, it must surely
be both a heady and frustrating experience.
Rarely is the national conscience so clearly
focused on one event, and rarely do the actions of
so few hold so many in awe.
The pressure is intense. Each man knows that
his mistake could bring the hopes and dreams of
thousands crashing down in a heap of
dissappointment.
But they cannot let the pressure get to them.
They must keep going, keep doing what only
they can do so well. They must endure the
harassment of those who want them to lose, the
dependence of those who want them to win and
the improprieties of media men who should
know better.
They know that right now, at this moment,
what is at stake is more important than just
about anything else in the world.
Even more important than a presidential
election.
It's the middle of October, you see, and it's
World Series time.
Experience gives Denton credibility
If he were a betting man, says Sen. Paul
Tsongas (D-Mass), he would not put 2 cents on
any Democratic candidate running this year.
Were Tsongas to place that bet on the
Alabama Senate race this year, though, he might
very well lose, for Democratic nominee Jim
Folsom Jr. has a very good chance of being a
winner.
Folsom is an attractive candidate. He is only
31, conjuring up an image of youthful stamina.
He is also the son of former Gov. "Big" Jim
Folsom, a populist who endeared himself to the
rural voters of the state by paving their roads.
"Little Jim " also has a number of very definite
ideas that may very well be attractive to many
across the board in the state.
Therein lies, however, one of his principle
faults. Folsom, like his father, is trying to appeal
to vastly different groups across the state, and in
doing so, he has somewhat confused his
message.
When one asks around, one finds that some
think Folsom to be a liberal, others a moderate,
still others a conservative. Although he
considers himself to be a Southern conservative
Democrat, such is not totally apparent from his
rhetoric.
In The Birmingham News last week, for
instance, he said he would be in favor of personal
tax cuts. In Opelika on Monday, he added
quickly that social programs would not have to
be cut as a result.
Such panacean rhetoric, typical of Democrats,
is an effort simply to try and please both sides,
and conservative and liberal, at the same time.
It is rhetoric that does not pan out in practice,
and it is because of such rhetoric that Tsongas
says the Democratic Party may soon be
America's minority party.
As long as the campaign retains its present
low profile, however, Folsom can continue to
confuse the public and try to please everyone.
He can also continue to paint his Republican
opponent, Adm. Jeremiah Denton, as a
reactionary who stands far to the right of the
American political mainstream.
If he succeeds though, Alabamians will not
elect the man who would best serve their
interests in Washington.
Denton is not the Jesse Helms type Folsom
paints him to be, although no doubt a
conservative.
The admiral, a prisoner of war during the
Vietnam War, favors a constitutional amend­ment
to ban most abortions, and he opposes the
Equal Rights Amendment, while Folsom stands
opposite on those two emotional issues. Do not
most Alabamians stand on the side of Denton on
these issues.
On the issues concerning the economy and the
military, though, Denton's could be considered
as much politically avant garde as conservative.
Like most supply-side economists, Denton
calls for tax relief for both the individual and
Steve
Farish
corporation. He favors at least the first year of
the Kemp-Roth bill (which would cut personal
income taxes 10 percent), indexing the taxes
according to inflation and tax relief for industry
in forms such as the acceleration of capital
depreciation schedules.
Unlike Folsom, Denton has no illusions that
social programs will not have to be cut. He
says waste and fraud in the Food Stamp
Program alone could save the government $1
billion per year.
Like Folsom, Denton calls for a stronger
military. But as a lifetime officer in the military,
his voice carries more credibility when he calls
for $6-$10 billion in increased military spending
in the next four years.
Denton also seems better qualified to see that
the Pentagon does not go overboard when it gets
more money. He is cautious to call for
construction of the B-l bomber, the neutron
bomb and more submarine missile launchers,
while at the same time warning that systems
such as the MX are spending follies because by
their completion date they will be obsolete.
Denton has also gotten into some trouble
stemming from his support from right-wing
religious groups. The admiral notes, however,
that although he agrees with the assessment of
religious groups that America is in a state of
moral decay, he does not always agree with the
method by which they carry out reform.
He fears that groups, like the Moral Majority,
are "overdoing".
Denton's campaign has also taken on a bit
more integrity than Folsom's. The Democrat
seems to be trying to run on his father's
popularity in rural Alabama, reminiscent of a
certain presidential candidate who wanted to be
elected "because my brothers were such great
guys."
Similarly, Denton could play his POW
experience for the patriotic vote, but thus far he
has not tried that route. It is hoped he will not
begin to do so if he gets behind.
Denton, like Folsom, does have faults. He
does not particularly appeal to black voters,
and his election could alienate them. Likewise
his call for reinstatement of the draft will
obviously not be greeted with overwhelming
enthusiasm on Alabama's college campuses.
But Denton is nonetheless the better
candidate for the Senate. He has more
credibility because of his vast educational and
military experiences even though he has never
been in public office before. His ideology is very
much in step with that of Alabamians; indeed, it
is where the rest of the nation seems to be
moving.
If elected, Denton will need more time than
probably normal to become an effective senator
and adjust to the Senate way of life.
After that period, though, he should become
one of the leaders of the neo-conservative
movement that is sweeping the nation and the
Senate.

Four plays from the 11;
'Aughhhhhhhhhhh!'
Next to being an American hostage, I'd rather
be anyone else this year than Doug Barfield.
The man has had trouble with off-the-field-comments
by one of his quarterbacks, Charlie
"When you boo me you're booing a continent"
Thomas.
He's been criticized for playing Terry
Beasley's younger brother Jerry (who re­deemed
himself last weekend by making an
interception — though the truth is the ball just
got stuck in his facemask).
And he also suffered the embarrassment of a
42-0 loss to Tennessee. "Please don't throw
oranges or they may decide to really beat the hell
out of us."
As I sat there at the Tennessee game, I
wondered what could have happened to the team
this year. Many people were having trouble
dealing with the way we were losing. Next to me,
two irate spectators were thrashing a Coke boy
with his little metal tray.
Then came the LSU game. Four passing plays
from the 11-yard line can only be described as
very original.
That was when it hit me; Coach Barfield is not
a well man. The coloring books and propellor
beanie on the sidelines were telltale signs of a
much deeper problem.
A once brilliant coaching career was now
disintegrating into a confused and chaotic
existance
Four passing plays from the 11 were the only
glimpse of his eratic behavior that the fans get to
see. However, this sort of decision-making has
been extended to Barfield's private life which
has now become one big series of judgment
errors.
We pick up the action as he arrives home one
evening with his wife:
"Doug, I'll go unlock the front door."
"No, bad strategy. We'll go in through the
garage window."
Tim
Dorsey
"Doug, let me make us something to eat. I'll
just get something out of the refrigerator."
"No dear, I'll get it. The trick is to tip the
refrigerator forward and shake the food out."
"Whatever you say dear. I'll just put this
hamburger in the microwave."
"No honey, they'll be expecting that. Put the
hamburger in the Jacuzzi; put my shorts in the
microwave."
"Dear,can't we take down all those footballs
hanging from the ceiling. I'm getting tired of
dodging them."
"No, they prove I'm dedicated."
"Well then, maybe we could take those little
plastic helments off the goldfish?"
"You're not one of them too, are you! You don't
actually believe that I called those four passing
plays, do you! They just quoted me out of
context!"
"Now, now, dear—it's OK. Please let go of the
refrigerator."
Later that night:
"AUGHHHHHHHHHH! Four from the 11
AUGHHH! AUGHHH! Four from the 11
AUGHHHHH!"
"Wake up dear, you're having another
nightmare. You feeling better now?"
"Yes:*
"Good, now about this Beasley. . ."
Fire trucks should save lives,
not pose danger to pedestrians
Editor, The Plainsman,
On Oct- 8, 1980, at approximately 8:45
p.m., the Auburn Fire Department chiefs car
followed by three Auburn fire trucks came
screaming down Magnolia Avenue at speeds
which had to be in excess of 50 miles per
hour.
It was a truly spectacular show with lights
flashing, sirens blasting and engines roaring.
Less than five minutes later, the trucks
returned to their station as if nothing had
happened.
This may sound like a great show except
that it took place while traffic on Magnolia
Avenue was moderately heavy. The Sire
department were traveling at such a high rate
of speed that if any vehicle had pulled out of a
driveway or if a pedestrian had wandered out
into the street, tragedy would surely have
resulted.
This is not the first time this has happened.
On Sunday, Oct. 5,1980, a friend and I were in
front of Thornton's Dining Hall when a fire
department paramedic truck came flying
through the three-way stop at the intersection
of Tiger and Magnolia, almost sideswiping two
cars stopped at the intersection.
Now cars, trucks and motorcycles speeding
on city streets is nothing new, but fire
department vehicles are supposed to serve
the public's best interests by aiding in the
prevention and the extinguishing of fires.
But to me, it does not seem to be in the
public's best interests to answer a potentially
dangerous fire call while traveling at speeds
which endanger the lives of pedestrians and
other motorists, posing a threat perhaps more
dangerous than the fire itself. This is
compounded by the fact that many of the calls
to which the l i r e department responds are
false alarms.
I do not wish to criticize the performance of
the Auburn Fire Department for it has
provided adequate and reliable fire control for
this community for quite some time.
But I do feel that the Auburn Fire
Department should alter the way it answers
fire calls before some innocent person is
injured or killed, for no call is so urgent so as to
justify the possible injury or death of any
person in the act of responding to that call.

Don't really 'wreck Tech'
Editor, The Plainsman,
The upcoming game with Georgia Tech will
undoubtedly bring back memories of last
year's attack on Aubie at the Auburn-Tech
game in Atlanta.
We understand that many of you would like
to see Aubie revenged, and we would too. But
we must ask you not to take any sort of
destructive action on Georgia Tech's car or any
other property that they might bring. Please
consider the following reasons for not doing so:
(1) We don't want to get in the gutter with
them, or behave with as little class as they did
last year, (2) Full apologies were made by
Georgia Tech officials to Auburn for the
incident and those responsible were repri­manded,
(3) By assaulting Tech's car we also
take a chance of hurting Tech's cheerleaders
who ride on the car, who also helped defend
Aubie last year, and (4) Aubie shall be
revenged by use of his own classy antics, and
we all will be revenged by our spirit and the
outcome of the game.

"In case of the removal of the president from
office, or of his death, resignation, or inability
to discharge the powers and the duties of the
said office, the same shall devolve on the
vice-president." Article II, Section 1., The U.S.
Constitution.
Since the above clause became a part of the
Constitution, nine men who ascended to the
presidency, William Henry Harrison, Zachary
Taylor, Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield,
William McKinley, Warren Harding, Franklin
Roosevelt, John Kennedy and Richard Nixon
for one reason or another, have had to
prematurely vacate the office.
The fact that nine of the 39 presidents did
not serve a full term in office would seem to
indicate that the vice presidency is a job of
significance and responsibility.
Continually, though, little attention is paid
to the candidates for the office of vice presi­dent.
These are the men a so-called "heartbeat
from the presidency," yet very few Americans
know much about these men or where they
stand.
The vice presidential choice was especially
important for the Republicans this summer
because of the perception by many Americans
that Reagan's age could prohibit him from
serving a full term.
In one of the most interesting and confusing
Republican conventions to date, Ronald
Reagan, after flirting with a Gerald Ford vice
presidency, chose George Bush as a running
mate. Bush, Reagan strategists hoped, would
help in Texas and add a moderate balance to the
Republican ticket.
Bush was chosen from a pack that included
Howard Baker, Jack Kemp, Paul Laxalt,
Richard Lugar, William Simon and Guy
Vander Jagt.
Bush graduated from Yale after a World
War II duty that saw him become the nation's
youngest bomber pilot and was awarded the
Distinguished Flying Cross after being shot
down over the Bonin Islands.
After graduation he and two partners
formed the Zapata Petroleum Company (the
name was derived from a Marlon Brando
movie—"Viva Zapata!"). After turning that
corporation into a multi-million dollar business
John
Farish
» * i
Bush turned to politics, running for the U.S.
Senate in 1963.
A close defeat gave Bush enough confidence
to run forOngress in 1966. Bush's victory, the
first by a Republican in Houston's history,
began a multi-faceted Washington career that
has included: American ambassador to the
United Nations, chairman of the Republican
National Committee, U.S. envoy to Peking,
director of the CIA and consideration by
Richard Nixon in 1968 and Gerald Ford in 1973
as a vice president.
Idealogically, Bush could be termed a
moderate.
As a congressman, he opposed efforts to
force down gasoline prices and supported the
Vietnam War. He also voted for the 1968 Civil
Rights Housing Act and for low income
housing loans.
Campaigning for the Republican nomination
earlier this year, Bush commented "Thereare a
lot of problems out there, but we can solve
them." In his simplistic tones Bush calls
President Carter a man that "is just not up to
the job."
While stumping for Reagan, Bush said,
"We're going to win on the economy. It's not
that Jimmy Carter doesn't want to do
something about it, just that he seems
incapable of it."
Bush's main emphasis against the Demo­crats
—"they've had their chance."
Jimmy Carter once again chose Walter
Mondale for the Democrat ticket. The large
majority of Democrats were satisfied with
Mondale's first four years as vice president.
No suspense surrounded Mondale's renomi-nation
as his party's vice presidential candi­date.
It was not that simple for Mondale in 1976.
At the time, he was the junior senator from
Minnesota and then nominee Jimmy Carter's
fourth choice for the post of vice president
behind Frank Church, John Glenn and
Edmund Muskie.
Said Carter of the Mondale choice, "I think
Sen. Mondale has a great feeling of
understanding and comprehension and com­passion
for people who need services of
government most. I think he has demonstrated
sound judgement in times of difficulty. I think
he has the trust of a large range of
Democrats."
Mondale responded, "I got to thinking
wouldn't it be interesting , challenging and
hopefully exciting, to add this experience to
one's life. I might be able to get some of the
things I've always wanted to do more quickly
done."
He is confident of a Democrat victory
this November but warns, "this is a time when
we move, we win or we lay back and lose."
Mondale likes to attack Reagan6 on the
campaign trail but takes a lighter stand on his
criticisms than the president. For instance,
commenting on Reagan's recent labor endorse­ments,
Mondale said, "Ronald Reagan is to
American labor what Col. Sanders is to the
American chicken."
He is currently campaigning on a
stretch that will see him in Washington only
three more days before the election. He seems
to have grown fond of campaigning, a 180
degree turn since he dropped out of the race
for president in 1974 saying he did not have the
heart to continue on a long campaign.
Mondale is not a moderate but neither could
one call him a liberal. Though opposed to
busing he favors some system of equalizing
school systems. And though he has not
forgotten the pro-labor stances he learned
from fellow Minnisotian, Hubert Humphrey,
Mondale has had to moderate many of his
other beliefs to stay in sync with Carter's
policies.
The voting public should scrutinize the
characters, ideologies and records of both of
these men. Bush and Mondale should be on the
mind of any voter before he pulls either the
Reagan or Carter lever on Nov. 4.
They are, after all, "only a heartbeat away
from the presidency."
Library changes indicate priorities
Editor, The Plainsman:
The Ralph Brown Draughon Library has
announced its new hours. They are:
7:45 a.m. to 10 p.m. Mondays - Thursdays
7:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays
9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays
1 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays
Some undergraduates will probably stop at
this point and say, "So ...what is wrong with
that?" For them these hours will seem sufficient.
To graduate students and faculty who need to
do serious research using those primary sources
that are available, this reduction in availability
of our one tool of the trade can only be dismaying
and grossly disappointing.
There is a multimillion dollar football stadium
across the campus that is used only five or six
days per year. How can anyone with common
sense justify that gross expenditure when we
cannot even keep our library open for reasonable
lengths of time, not to mention the need for more
acquisitions.
Some college libraries only close on Christmas
and Easter and are open until 12 midnight
every other night of the year, including term
breaks. But that costs money and means a
commitment to serious scholarship.
Is this University serious about generating
legitimate scholarship or is it content with being
a mediocre undergraduate school? Is it possible
that the administration is telling graduate
students and faculty that since their work does
not generate enough money to pay the bills, they
won't be getting any "extra" considerations?
Only the administration can answer these
questions, but they are a matter of concern to
everyone. Directly or indirectly we all suffer by
these new and reduced hours. That means
graduate students, faculty members and
alumni.
All of us who graduated from Auburn had
better re-examine our expectations for our alma
mater. Ultimately, the quality of resources
available and the hours that are available in our
library are a reflection on all of us. They can be a
source of pride or a matter of shame.
What's it going to be, people? Mediocre U.or
First Quality Institution of Higher Learning?
Keep those cards and money coming, for a better
Auburn University and library.

Carter's record not deserving of second chance
:^pia*L£W©rt^i«GPTm»e
Editor, The Plainsman,
There are distinct differences between the
two major presidential candidates, especially
on those issues concerning college students.
Just a brief examination of these positions
taken by Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan
will reveal which candidate truly has the
students' best interest at heart.
Carter has reimposed draft registration for
19- and 20-year-old men and has proposed that
women be included. He has also been an
opponent of military pay increases even
though some service personnel now qualify for
food stamps.
Reagan is opposed to peacetime registration
or draft, as he realizes that it is a violation of a
person's constitutional rights. He also recog­nizes
that a draft, at its very best, would only
serve as a "quickie" solution.
Instead, Reagan intends to upgrade salary
and benefits in order to make military service
a viable alternative for young people seeking
employment.
Carter, despite the most substantial rise in
youth unemployment in the Nation's history,
has supported large increases in the minimum
wage and consistently opposed a youth
exemption.
Reagan is in favor of a youth exemption to
the minimum wage which will help put many
young people back to work.
Carter reneged on his 1976 support for
tuition tax credits and currently opposes them.
Reagan wants to increase educational
options through a system of tuition tax credits
that will upgrade the entire public and private
school system.
Carter advocates a repeal of Section 14 (b) of
the Taft-Hartley Act which would permit
forced unionization in nearly all areas, in­cluding
student summer employment.
Reagan supports the student's right-to-work
and opposes the compulsory unionization of
young people employed in summer jobs which
would result in the surrendering to union dues
of a substantial portion of their already
inflation-ravaged salaries.
College students have a lot at stake in the
1980 election, so if you should happen to hear a
feeble whimper such as "Four more years,"
answer with a resounding shout ."You've got to
be kidding."

MOVES." OF COURSE. Separation of religion and state
not intended to alienate 'God'
Editor, The Plainsman,
It is out of the deepest concern for the
people of America and the future that lies
before us that I write this letter, for I feel that
now as in no other time in history we stand
within the reach of grave danger.
Our system of government here in the
United States is a beautiful system, relatively
speaking. I am the first to make mention of the
many things that need to be changed, but
when faced with the alternative of Commu­nism,
I have no problem deciding which I
prefer.
The unique thing about our government is
that it is founded upon Biblical principles. In
fact, the philosophy behind our government
can be traced tack to Reformation thought,
specifically to a Scot, Samuel Rutherford, who
greatly influenced John Locke.
As a result of our Bible-based form of
government, more freedom has been granted
for a longer period of time to more people,
while at the same time producing greater
wealth for the majority than in any other
country of the world.
The danger I speak of that threatens our
country lies in our departure from the Biblical
base as demonstrated by the liberal legislation
that has been passed and various court
decisions, especially those concerning the
separation of church and state.
The writers of our Constitution never
intended for the First Amendment to imply a
complete separation of God and state as so
many humanistic judges and legislators have
perverted it to mean, but rather their purpose
in that clause was to prevent the formation of a
state religion as observed historically through­out
Europe.
Actually, the First Amendment does not
even mention the word "God," but "religion."
Whereas, most, if not all, of the recent
legislation stemming from this amendment has
been directed toward Christian-related actions
such as prayer and the teaching of creation in
public schools. However, as God's existence
cannot be proven to the satisfaction of most
scientists, neither can his non-existence be
proven.
Therefore, a philosophy that worships man
and proclaims him as his own salvation,
supporting amoral and atheistic legislation
should be viewed equally along with Christian­ity
under the broad category of religion in
regard to the First Amendment.
I believe that it is a violation of the
constitutional rights of Christians that volun­tary
prayer and the teaching of creation are
not allowed in public schools. When in 1962 our
government ruled prayer in public schools as
unconstitutional we essentially told God that
we had "outgrown" him and no longer needed
him around.
Since then, we have witnessed the assassina­tions
of John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr., the Vietnam War, Watergate,
increased crime rate, and a multitude of
economic problems. The only results of the
freedom granted by a godless democracy are
chaos, anarchy and self-destruction.
If in fact our country has outgrown God, if
the people of the United States have so
changed that our present system no longer
reflects our desires, then the freedom granted
by our system allows us the alternative to
change. However, we must be willing to face
the consequences, regardless of how grave
they may be.
The Old Testament is a story of God's
dealings with his people. God destroyed
nations of people who sacrificed their babies to
their pagan gods. We in America sacrifice our
babies through abortion at the rate of 4,000 per
day to our gods of pleasure and economics.
I must agree with those who have said that
God will certainly judge America, or else he
will apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.

Ecology group
asks students
to get involved
To All Auburn Students, Faculty and Staff,
As one of the faculty advisers of the Auburn
Society for Environmental Protection (ASEP),
which is an officially-sanctioned organization of
the Student Government Association, I would
like to invite active involvement of all
interested students, faculty, and staff in
ASEP's activities.
Established this past winter quarter,
ASEP's general purpose is to promote and
perpetuate healthy and safe ecological prac­tices
and philosophies. As the thrust of ASEP
is multi-faceted, a wide range and diversity of
issues (e.g., air, land and water pollution;
concern for animal life; "trade-offs" involved
with various approaches to energy, etc.)
constitute some of the current concerns.
As is noted on the Fall 1980 University
Program Council's Calendar of Events, ASEP
will be sponsoring and conducting an "Aware­ness
Day and Energy Fair" on Saturday, Oct.
25, 1980, from noon to 6 p.m. at Thad
Webster's Lake (about three miles due west of
Auburn on Route 14).
At present, this particular event represents
ASEP's principal focus. Musical entertain­ment,
other similarly focused organizations
and various speakers constitute some of the
planned activities for the afternoon event.
ASEP is very interested in soliciting input
and active involvement of everyone who is
concerned about the above-mentioned issues.
Any and all thoughts, feelings and suggestions
are welcomed.
For more information concerning ASEP's
purpose, objectives and issues contact its
student founder and president, Tim Morales,
or myself. Your input is valued.

Student Association, The Auburn Alumni
Association, the Student Government Associ­ation
and the University Program Council for
sponsoring the Youth Goodwill Mission from
Taiwan."
This was an excellent opportunity for these
14 Taiwanese college students to share
with this University community part of their
heritage and culture. As students, we thor­oughly
enjoyed their excellent exhibition and
feel more informed about the Republic of China.
We feel very honored to have been a part of
this experience and we would again luce to thank
the organizations that made this program
possible.

Birmingham men arrested
in Lipscomb robbery case
A-7 Thursday. October l«, l»80 Chi rJiihiirn lM.itiwm.iii
By Maggie Ball
Plainsman Staff Writer
Two Birmingham men were ar­rested
Friday and charged in
Auburn with first degree robbery
and second degree theft in connec­tion
with the armed robbery of
Lipscomb's Drugstore Oct. 3,police
said.
Charles Alan Richie, 25, and
Ronald Franklin, 20, had been
arrested last Wednesday in Bir­mingham
on drug related charges
which led to the Auburn arrest,
said Detective Capt. John Lock-hart
of the Auburn police.
Opelika-based Alabama Bureau
of Investigation Sgt. Harold Newell
aided in the capture of the robbers
when he recognized their method of
operation from a file while listen­ing
to the Auburn police broadcasts
immediately after the robbery.
Newell told Auburn police of his
suspicions and provided a com­posite
drawing of one of the sus­pects,
Lockhart said.
Detectives Bart Ingram Jr. and
Keith Kolander took two witnesses
to Birmingham Thursday where
they positively identified the two
suspects in a lineup, Lockhart
said. The suspects were then
brought back to Auburn and
charged in the robbery, he added.
Another charge is pending, said
Lockhart, involving a stolen truck
believed to have been used during
the robbery. Fingerprints found on
the truck are presently being
tested to see if there is a match, he
said. The truck, belonging to
Charles Johns of east Tallassee,
was stolen at the Village Mall, said
Lockhart. Sgt. Frank deGraffen-ried
IV found the truck Wednesday
morning in the parking lot of
Cabana Apartments on East
Glenn, he said.
The two men are accused of
taking $400 and a pillowcase full of
narcotics from the drugstore.
Both men are being held in the
Auburn City Jail. Bail for each
man has been set at $80,000,
Lockhart said. No trial date has
been set.

Carter opens county headquarters
By John Farish
Associate Editor
. The Jimmy Carter presidential
campaign came to Lee County
Monday with the opening of
Carter's county headquarters in
Opelika. The official opening of the
Carter-Mondale campaign was
marked by Auburn Mayor Jan
Dempsy cutting the ceremonial
ribbon and by a short speech from
Carter's White House Deputy As­sistant
Bill Simpson.
The occasion was marked by a
crowd of 25 Carter campaigners
including Auburn graduate Kurt
Furst, the head of the campaigners
for Alabama's third congressional
district. Furst has been cam­paigning
with Simpson in the Ala­bama
area.
Simpson is a Mississippi native.
He began his political career in
Washington working for a Missis­sippi
senator who was the head of s
standing committee in the Senate.
Simpson stresses that as a native
of this area he recognizes that
"Jimmy Carter knows the pro-
Reagan speaks in Birmingham
By JoBeth McDaniel
Plainsman Staffwriter
. .Presidential candidate Ronald
Reagan was in Birmingham last
Thursday to gather votes and blast
President Carter's economic poli­cies
to a cheering crowd of almost
10,000 people.
The main emphasis of the speech
was the state of the economy with
plans for recovery interspersed
throughout.
Reagan's plans include:
A 10 percent cut in personal
income taxes, with extra tax
credits for parents with children in
parochial or independent schools,
including colleges and universities.
A 2 percent cut in the federal
budget in 1981, followed by cuts in
the next three years totaling 7
percent. These cuts are to be made
from the recommendations given
by a task force of specialists who
will inspect each department for
costly and useless regulations and
waste.
An increase in funds for student
aid and education programs.
Reagan said that as governor of
California, he increased student
loans 800 percent.
A reduction in the number of
welfare recipients. "A job is the
best social reform there is,"
Reagan said.
"Carter won't talk about his
record," Reagan said. "But I'll tell
you all about mine. When I was
elected governor, my predecessor
had left me a $194 million deficit.
"I had six months to balance the
budget, which I did, andat the end of
the year, my state had a $100
million surplus. When I left office, I
left my successor a $554 million
surplus to work with. I did all this
by putting to practice innovative
economic measures that, revised,
would work nationally."
Security was tight both at his
outside rally and inside when he
spoke to a group of Alabama
business and industrial leaders.
There were rumors that Bir­mingham
Police had received a
death threat on Reagan earlier that
morning.
blems of the area." He described
Carter's job as governor of Georgia
as a job "strikingly similar to the
job of governor of Alabama."
Of Carter's three and a half
years in office, Simpson remarked
that "Carter should be responsible
for every problem he created—
energy problems, economic pro­blems,
turmoil in the Middle East.
"But," said Simpson, "inflation
was waiting for Carter in Wash­ington
for a long time. It was not
created by Carter." He said that
these problems were there when
Carter took office but "he went
under rugs and dragged out all the
problems and tried to do something
about them."
Simpson cited the politicians of
the South who have endorsed
Carter, including Bob Graham,
governor of Florida, Hal Heflin,
s enator from Alabama and George
Busbee, governor of Georgia.
When asked about the future of a
Fob James endorsement, Simpson
said "Carter would welcome the
addition of Gov. James as a Carter
supporter, but that Gov. James has
every right to follow his own path."
Simpson added, "Carter knows
the crossroads nature of this elec­tion.
He wants to define clearly the
wide gulf that divides he and
Reagan."

Compiled by
John Farish
In a Saturday speech to a Hot
Springs, Va., Business Council,
pollster Mervin D. Field released a
poll show ing Ronald Reagan a 2-1
leader in electoral votes over
President Jimmy Carter.
Field commented that for Carter
to overcome the electoral vote
deficit would require convincing
the American public that Ronald
Reagan is unprepared for the
presidency.
Field also noted that although the
economy, and in particular infla­tion,
is the predominant concern of
voting Amricans, the personality of
the two candidates has so far been
the basis for most voters'
judgments.
Field said John Anderson has a
chance to win in only two states,
Massachusetts and Connecticut.
In weekend politics, Carter ap­parently
violated a campaign
promise Friday to soften his
rhetoric against Reagan, when he
said in Florida that a Reagan
election "would be a bad thing for
the country."
Reagan was not immune to
political gaffes either. Over the
weekend he denied knowledge of a
news release concerning "overly
stringent" Environmental Protec­tion
Agency regulations, a release
that bore his signature, and he said
that Mount St. Helens released
twice as much air pollution as
automobiles have in the last 10
years, also an unfactual statement,
according to the E.P.A.
Reagan began this week in Cali­fornia,
with a heavy six-appear­ance
blitz scheduled for the Los
Angeles area.
Both Anderson and Carter began
their campaign weeks in New York
marching in Columbus Day
parades.
Anderson said in New York that,
although most polls showed him
with no electoral votes, the fear of
a Reagan election would draw
voters to the Anderson ticket in
substantial numbers before ele­ction
day.
From page A-l
ed whether the cutback would
really help the remaining institu­tions
left behind.
"I don't know if that would
provide as much funds as most
people think it would," said
Funderburk. "We do have an
abundance of institutions in the
state and they are not located, in
all cases, in the most strategic
places. But there are some things, I
think, that could be done in terms
of organizing those schools into
units or larger groups.
"That would certainly help and
tend to provide a little better, or
more efficient, organization than
we have at the present time."
Another caller asked if
Funderburk would consider cutting
back on enrollment in the Univer­sity
in order to alleviate some of
the overcrowding now present in
such classes as English, math and
chemistry.
"Of course, the ideal situation is
one professor per student," said
Funderburk, "but the funding for
the University from the state is
based on the total credit hours
generated by the students at­tending
the University.
To cut back or level off the
student enrollment would only be a
"temporary solution" to the prob­lem,
said Funderburk. It wouldn't
be long after the enrollment
leveled off that the costs of a
college education would catch up to
and surpass the state funding, he
said.
Speaking on the proration of
state allocated funds, Funderburk
said that the University ' 'will be in
better shape to handle 6 or 7
percent proration this year than we
were last year, simply because we
have a very small reserve in the
budget for that purpose, which we
didn't have last year."

Funderburk was also questioned
concerning the University faculty's
projected salary increases of from
6 to 12 percent for the 1981 budget.
Last year's salarv increase was
only between 2 ^ and 3 percent,
according to Funderburk, and this

much more."

Darvos9 bull heads country scene
By Kathy Hulsey
Plainsman Staff writer
Clad in faded jeans, plaid shirt,
pointed-toe boots and a brown
Stetson covered with turkey
feathers, the young cowboy worked
his way through the crowd of
two-steppers. His eyes focused on
the familiar object which has swept
the country like a plague—the
mechanical bull.
The bull is the newest attraction to
Auburn students who have visited
Darvos Ranch within the past few
months.
"We want to get back to the
basics," said Darvos' owner, Joe
Davis. "Disco is on its way out and
country's coming back."
Davis' $11,000 bull, manufactured
ffM-frNl fARNiSooosrrU
by Starr Bull Corp. in Opelika, is
surrounded by foam mats, rustic
western scenery and a country-/
western disc jockey, playing the
music of Mickey Gilley, Hank
Williams Jr. and Willie Nelson.
"We tried a country / western
night three years ago," said Davis.
"People just weren't ready for it. We
were way ahead of times.
"People are more patriotic in
their activities now. I believe that
red, white and blue and country
music is as American as you can
get."
Regardless of its past image, the
new country / western cowboy
image has affected a wide variety of
people.
"It's time to get together and
celebrate America," said Carter
WSlfeooK
Coodling, Darvos employee and
Auburn native.' 'We need to get back
to cook-outs and family outings.
"I'm tired of the artificial, stuffy,
high class atmosphere. I'm ready
to get into a more mellow kind of
business."
Twenty-nine-year-old bullrider
Wayne Jaye likes to join in the fun
with the younger crowd.
"It's fun trying to keep up with
these 22-year-olds. I came out to
Darvos for the first time when I
heard about the bull," he said as he
looked around him. "Nobody
bothers anybody. I love country
music and always have."
"This is a different place for
Auburn," said Bo Kingree, a sopho­more
in political science. "I like it
because it's laid back. I like this
place because nobody puts up a
front. These are more down-to-earth
people and I love seeing the hats."
As for the bull riders... "It may
last about 4 or 5 seconds, but it feels
like an hour," said Jim Felton, a
junior in landscape design. "I like
country music and I've been wear­ing
my cowboy hat long before
now."
"I've been to Houston and Dallas
and ridden the bull," said Darvos'
bull operator, Pat Paul. "Every­body
is ready for a change, not just
Auburn. It's happening other places
and has been long before the Urban
Cowboy movie."
Will it last?
"It's fun and it's relaxing," said
Lisa Gynther, -1PRS. "But it will
eventually fade out like everything
else."

English, foreign language classes face book shortage
By Jennifer Hollingsworth
Plainsman Staffwriter
Another quarter. New classes.
More books—maybe.
One of the dreaded expenditures
of a new quarter is for new books,
but sometimes not finding the
needed books in any of the book -
stores is a worse feeling.
The shortage is prevalent mainly
in the freshmen courses such as
English and first year foreign
laneiiae-e.
"The problem has never been as
bad as it's been this quarter," said
Dr. Robert M. Henkels, head of the
foreign language department.
"The problem lies mainly in the
fact that many more students
register during drop and add, and
we order books months ahead of
time when students pre-register.
"We estimate the number of
books we will need by the number
of students that pre-register, then
we add a few more onto that total.
The bookstores under-order, and
then we get a flood of new students
that register at drop and add."
Ordering foreign language books
can sometimes pose a special
problem.
"Many of our books are ordered
from Europe and the publishers
won't take them back if they're
sent back " Henkels said. "I am
glad this was brought to my
attention. I am sorry that this has
haDDened and will trv to ?et

something done about it in the
future."
Phillip M. Lewis, head of the
psychology department, and his
secretary, Judy Musgrave, said
there had been problems getting
books before, but this quarter has
not been as bad.
"Many times there is a problem
with competition between the three
bookstores because often we have
to split our order among the
three," Lewis said. "I think the
University Bookstore at least
should keep the right number of
books on hand, because they are
run by the University."
Anotner Dig snoriage seemed to
come from the English department
but Dr. W. Burt Hitchcock said, '
"There doesn't seem to be any big
problem. Other things have been
more important lately."
The situation may be a lack of
communication. The departments
say they need so many books and
the bookstores are ordering an­other
amount.
"In some cases we under-order
based on experience and records,"
said manager of the University
Bookstore, Elmo Prater. "I see the
biggest problem as being no limi­tation
in classes. Teachers let more
students in their classes even after
they are full.
"If we need more books, we
re-order them. It only takes about
nine or 10 days in some cases if we
use our Telex machine. But we
have to get an OK from the
department before we can order
any more books and many times no
one will bother to give us that OK.''
At Johnston & Malone Bookstore,
employee Larry McClung said,
"The only books we under-order
are the real expensive ones,
ranging from $50 to $70, because
again, they can't be sent back, and
many students will not pay that
much for a book."
Mary Munday, who works at
Anders Bookstore, expressed her
dissatisfaction. "There were 68
books this year that had a new
edition. Sometimes we don't find
this out until right before classes
start.
"There was one department that
ordered a new book after we got the
usual ones in. So we ordered the
new ones and sent the old ones
back. Then, just days before
classes started, the teacher of that
class got fired or something and
they wanted the old book back."
Much of the problem of the book
shortage is because of the alloca­tion
of funds and proration of the
University. Classes were cancelled
and students were crammed into
classrooms at the last minute...
without a book.

Student's 'flame9 is man-eating fish
AdL Thursday, October 16, 1980 Zbt auburn JMainsman
By Vicky Potter
Plainsman Stafferiter
Students in Auburn have been
known to have some strange pets,
but Earl Wallace and Mike Kirk-patrick
could have one of the most
unusual—a "man-eating" tropical
fish.
Flame, as they call the 8-inch-long
red devil fish, is not really a
man-eater, but he is aggressive
and does bite. The pale-colored fish
dominates the living room, swim­ming
alone in a large aquarium in
front of the fireplace.
"I'm sure the fish are called red
devils because of the personality,"
Wallace said. "Flame is very
mean. He'll eat or kill anything you
put in the tank.
"We named him Flame because
of his color and personality," Wal­lace
explained. "Sometimes he
changes color with whatever mood
he's in." The fish is a solid peach or
light orange, with an orange face
and bright orange eyes.
"Flame is really a man of the
house," Kirkpatrick said. "When
friends come over, they go straight
up to the tank to see him. He's
bitten about six people who have
started bleeding, but not badly. We
haven't had to take anyone to the
hospital."
Wallace said they have had the
fish about one year and it is
probably about 3 years old.
"I had an Oscar for four years,"
he said, "but he jumped out of the
tank last Christmas. We liked the
idea of having one fish that
dominates the tank."
The two students found Flame in
a Columbus, Ga., pet shop, and paid
$20 for him.
' 'The shop had him for a year and
a half," Wallace explained. "He is
a rare fish. I've been interested in
fish for about eight years, and I've
only seen about five red devils-they're
all been smaller than this
one. But I think the fish are rare
because of their personality, and
not because of the type of fish."
Wallace said the fish was easy to
care for. "We just have to keep the
tank clean, and keep him fed. We
stock the tank about once a week
with 10 dozen live minnows. He
eats about 10 or 12 minnows a
day."
When the minnow supply gets
low, the fish would ration himself.
"When he gets down to around a
dozen minnows, he'll only eat one
every now and then, when he's
really hungry," Kirkpatrick said.
"He likes a cricket now and then,
too. He'll eat just about anything
you put in the tank, including
fingers."
"Flame has one very unusual
habit," Wallace said. "He picks a
back corner of the tank and digs a
hole. Then he carries the sand from
the hole to the front of the tank, a
mouthful at a time and spits it out.
He can pile the sand up along the
front of the tank about three inches
high. We think he might pile it up
as a cover to hide behind, but we're
not sure."
Kirkpatrick said the fish is very
aggressive and protective of his
territory. "When he's building a
hole, he's very protective of it. If a
minnow comes near, he'll chase it
away or kill it, even if he isn't
SGA Senate cuts 'Circle' budget
By Beth Dees
Plainsman Staffwriter
"Will the Circle Be Unbroken?,"
a famous song, was the major
question asked by Auburn Univer­sity's
first staff of the student
magazine, The Circle. Now, seven
years later, continuity isn't the
problem, but an SGA Senate cut of
one-third in the publication's an­nual
budget has made things
wobbly.
The magazine which is written,
put together and read by students
was one of several programs
funded by student activity fees to
lose money in the budget cuts last
spring. During summer quarter
SGA President Trey Ireland con­vinced
the administration to distri­bute
an extra $30,000 of the in­creased
student activity fees
among the campus publications.
Tuesday night the SGA Budget
and Finance Committee heard
from various organizations re­questing
some of the now avauale
funds, but the final decision rest
with the SGA Senate.
To help keep the magazine in
shape despite the cut, this year's
editor, Beth Holman, put quality
over quantity and decided to pub­lish
only twice during this aca­demic
year instead of the usual
once-a-quarter schedule.
The staff already has ideas for
the organization of the first issue
which will show up on the con­course
and other areas on campus
a few weeks after Thanksgiving
break and again after spring
break.
The real meat of the magazine
will come from student contri­butions
approved by The Circle's
editorial board which consists of
students and faculty members.
Poems, short stories, artwork, es­says
and satire make up the
content. Stories are accepted from
all students and not just journalism
and English majors, although it
does serve as a laboratory for
students in those fields.
Holman sees the purpose of the
slick, 50-60 page publication as a
"creative outlet," as did Thorn
Botsf ord when he spear-headed the
effort to start The Circle in 1973.
Since then the students have
been exposed to many different
philosophies, descriptions of life­styles
and bits of trivia.
One issue that caused much
controversy originated under Jan
Cooper, editor in 1975. In keeping
with the new surge of enthusiasm
in the women's liberation move­ment,
Cooper felt it would be
appropriate to run an issue filled
with articles on females. Campus
males responded with cries of
"chauvinism."
The 1979 editor, Mark C. Winne,
now a reporter for the Birmingham
News caused quick circulation of
the spring's issue which contained
a "Special Smut Section" and
articles on Phenix City, Ala., once
called "the wickedest city in
America."
Last year's editor, Amy Dawes,
courted controversy by including
articles on homosexuality and
cocaine users in Auburn.
Holman intends to be the excep­tion
to the usually liberal line of
Circle editors and shift the mag­azine
toward a more conservative
content.
"No more lewdity, crudity or
nudity for the Circle," said Holman
firmly, with blue eyes pointed
straight ahead. "We have enough
input from other areas that we
don't have to revert to those type
things."
Though some Circle readers may
fear the new conservatism will
lead to a middle-of-the-road pub­lication,
devoid the treatment of
rea. issues, Holman plans to im­prove
the interest and readability
by appealing to a wider span of
contributors.
This summer she spoke at
freshmen orientations encouraging
them to get involved. She plans to
speak to writing classes and keep
the other schools within the Univer­sity
informed on entry deadlines.
hungry."
Wallace agreed with Kirk­patrick.
"When I clean the tank, I
usually put a piece of styrofoam in.
I clean on one side and keep him on
the other side."
Pointing out the white sand on
the tank bottom, Wallace explain­ed,
"Flame is a fresh water fish,
but I brought some sand up from
Gulf Shores to give the tank an
unusual appearance."
Kirkpatrick said Flame has a
definite personality of his own.
"Living with him every day, you
get to know him, just like any other
pet. When you first come into the
room in the morning, he'll come
over to the side of the tank to see
who's in the room. I think he can
tell us apart."
"When we first moved him into
the living room, he used to watch
TV," Wallace said. "Keeping him
all by himself, people can identify
with him. That's why we named
him. It's almost like having a dog.''
Wallace, a building science
major from Mobile, will graduate
this quarter. Kirkpatrick is a
junior in industrial management.
The roommates have a running
joke with a friend about having a
fish fight. "We have a friend with
an Oscar," Kirkpatrick explained.
"We're training Flame for a fight
right now by holding a picture of an
Oscar up to the tank and he attacks
it."
"We plan to charge admission at
the door for the fight," Wallace
said.
He watched the fish swimming
around the tank, then added, "I
think we spend more time watch­ing
Flame than we do watching
TV."

Olympics 'experience' for Simms
By Rick Harmon
Plainsman Staffwriter
Many students returned to
Auburn University after a summer
of fun and games, but one Auburn
professor returned to the "loveliest
village" after a summer of work at
the games—the Moscow Olympics.
Jack Simms, designer of the
current college football ranking
system for the Associated Press and
head of the journalism department,
coordinated coverage of 17 of the 22
Olympic events for the four world
news agencies—the AP, the United
Press International, Reuters and
the Agency French Press.
Although Simms, and the pool of
journalists working under him,
found considerable excitement in
Moscow, little of it came from the
Olympic Games themselves.
According to Simms, the Olympic
boycott by the Western nations not
only hurt the Soviets financially, but
also robbed the games of much of
their excitement.
"There was no question that the
boycott was effective," Si mms said.
"It certainly took most of the
excitement out of the Games. Basi­cally
it turned the Olympics into just
a sports competition between the
eastern bloc countries.
"Even the few Western nations
that showed up only made half­hearted
efforts. There just wasn't
much suspense. It was a foregone
conclusion the Russians would win it
and the East Germans would come
in second.
"Also, except for a few rare
exceptions, there just weren't any
great match-ups like there have
been in past Olympics."
E ven though everyone might have
known the Soviets would win the
Olympics, it didn't keep the Soviets
from cheating just to make sure,
Simms said.
"All the English language papers
noticed the cheating," he said. "It
was blatant. In fact, it was bad
enough that finally the track and
field officials from the federation
had to come out and help the Soviet
officials measure."
Simms said there has always been
a certain amount of cheating in past
Olympics, but nothing to match the
type that took place in Moscow.
"There's been a pattern over the
last three Olypmics," he said,
' 'where judges from countries that
were at political odds, both western
and eastern, might hedge a little for
their side on judgment sports like
diving and boxing.
"But it had never come up before
where a guy could throw a javelin or
discus and have it marked either a
foot long or a foot short depending on
whom the judges favored.
"It was just that blatant at
Moscow. We had six live television
viewers set up for us, and we could
see it easily on the screens."
What theGames may have lacked
in excitement was more than made
up for by the almost cold-war
atmosphere the journalists were
treated to by their Soviet hosts, he
said.
Not only were reporters contin­ually
searched by the Soviets, but
many of the reporters' rooms were
searched secretly.
"First, all the journalists were
spot-searched at the airport," said
Simms. "Then we were thoroughly
searched at the hotel. In fact, you
were searched almost everywhere
you went.
"A reporter like Jeff Miller, who
actually went out to do interviews
and cover the Games, might get
searched as many as eight or 12
times a day."
An added irritant to the journal­ists
was the X-ray detection device
they had to pass each time they went
into the hotel.
"It wouldn't have been so bad if
they wouldn't have kept playing
games with it," he said. "Some­times
they would have it set so high
you could walk through with keys in
your pockets and not set it off. But at
other times they' d set it so low, it was
incredibly sensitive.
"I remember one time I had
removed all the metal things I had
and tried to walk through, but was
stopped when the alarm went off.
They searched me, but they couldn' t
find anything metallic either.
Finally they traced what was setting
the alarm off to the tin foil in a pack
of cigarette I had in my pockett.
Not only did many of the journal­ists
have a difficult time getting into
the hotel, but at least one had a
ridiculous time trying to get out.
' 'To leave the hotel you didn't have
to go through a search," he said.
"But the guards would check your
I.D.'s very closely.
"One American photographer
who was covering the games grew a
beard while he was in Moscow.
When he tried to leave the hotel to
shoot an event, the guard wouldn't
let him leave because he didn't
match up perfectly with the person
pictured on his I.D.
searched at least twice while he was
away.
' 'When I first got there I was doing
cute little things like placing threads
in certain parts of my luggage or
putting similar items in a particular
order in my drawers so I could tell if
someone was going through them.
After the first couple of times I could
see they'd searched, I finally got.

BACK FROM RUSSIA
.Simms relates his experiences at Moscow Olympics
' 'After complaints had been trans­ferred
up the line, they finally let the
guy leave the hotel. Even then the
first thing they made him do when he
got out was have the picture on his
I.D. remade with his new beard."
The security went further than
just personal searches and I.D.
checks. Simms said the Soviets were
secretly searching their rooms
when they were out covering the
Games.
"One morning one of the photo­graphers
who left with us forgot
something in his room," Simms
said. "When he went back to it, he
found a man calmly searching his
possessions.
"There was really nothing he
could do about it, so he just sat there
and watched the man finish
searching his room.
"When the guy had finished
searching, he just said 'Thank you
very much' to the photographer and
walked out."
Simms said his own room was
tired of the game.
"I finally just said if they wanted
to know I had dried peaches and
bubblegum with me, let them."
No only were the Soviet officials
suspicious of the reporters but they
also tried to make sure the inter­preters
assigned to them were
suspicious of the reporters as well.
"At first the interpreters were
completely cold to us," Simms said
"but after they got to know us they
loosened up a little."
Simms said he continually offered
the interpreters, "who were just
kids," some of the snack food the
reporters had been forewarned by
the A P to bring if they wanted any
munchies at all while they were in
Moscow.
"Each time any of the reporters
offered them snacks they'd say' No
thank you' and just watch us eat it,"
he said. "We offered them snacks
several times, and they just kept
turning them down.
"Finally after seeing us eat the

stuff for a few weeks, they broke
down and started eating some. We
later found out all the translators
had been warned that Westerners
might try to poison them with things
we had brought."
Although the searches and propa­ganda
reminded the journalists they
were in a Soviet regime, Simms said
he never felt this more than when he
was entering or leaving the country.
' 'Getting in and out of the country
was justa weird experience. It made
us all nervous.
"When we went through customs
the Soviets had armed 17-year-old
military people, who would just
stare at us. I was lucky. The guy only
stared at me for about five minutes.
I think this was probably because I
played dumb and everytime he
asked me a question I just kept
repeating 'AP.'
"It was totally unnerving. They
were just emotionless faces in
ill-f ittingunif orms.'' But for Simms,
it was worth the hassles getting in
and out of the country to experience
a little Russian culture and life.
And what did an American sports-writer
like Simms miss most about
the United States?
"Well, there were a lot of things I
missed," admitted Simms. "But I
guess if I had to choose one thing,
I' ve got to admit I had this incredible
craving for hamburgers and milk­shakes."
