The above picture suggests that the Plain Is being

driving hazardous, Auburn students have to be aware of
the pedestrians. This Auburn student almost had a close

A resolution calling for President
-Hanly Funderburk's resignation
will be voted on by the general
faculty in a meeting scheduled for
Feb. 11, said Dr. John Kuykendall,
president of the University Senate.
He said this move was required
when a circulating "no confidence"
petition gained the needed 50 faculty
signatures. According to the resolu­tion
tobe discussed, "We the general
faculty of Auburn University, hav­ing
no confidence in the ability of Dr.
Hanly Funderburk to effectively
lead the University, request his
resignation."
Kuykendall said the resolution
will be sent to the Board of Trustees
if passed.
At the general faculty meeting,
which will be at 4 p.m. Feb. 11 in
Langdon Hall, each speaker will be
allotted a maximum of three
minutes unless otherwise specified,
Kuykendall said. He also said the
vote on the resolution will be taken
by written ballot.
The' 'no-confidence" petition was
first circulated Thursday morning
by Dr. Coke Reed, professor of
mathematics, and received the
necessary 60 signatures before
Monday morning, said Gordon
Bond, president-elect of the Univer­sity
Senate.
"There are some faculty mem­bers
who were dissatislfied by the
evaluation process outlined at the
Board of Trustees meeting," Bond
said.' 'This seems to be a reaction to
that"
The Presidential Evaluation
Committee submitted to the board
its results of a recent questionnaire
given faculty members to evaluate
Funderburk. After considering
these results, the board voted on an
evaluation plan which some con­sidered
too weak in faculty partici­pation.
It provides for evaluation of
administrators every three to five
years and utilizes national consul­tants
and extensive Interviews with
all constituencies of the University.
Then, Martha Solomon, head of
the Presidential Evaluation Com­mittee,
said her concern was the role
of the faculty in the evaluation
process was not made clear.
"A common assumption Is this
pe tition Is a response from faculty to
the Board of Trustees' evaluation
plan," Solomon said, "but I don't
know for sure."
She said there would be a response
to the board's evaluation plan made
Independently of the petition. "I'm
going to give a report Tuesday (at
the Faculty Senate meeting),'' said
Solomon.
Robert Harris, a board member,
said "I certainly think the faculty
has theprerogativetoexpress views,
and I acknowledge it has the right
and prerogative and should be
allowed to do so."
Faculty members also considered
calling for a "no-confidence" vote
last May. This action stemmed from
Funderburk's decision to limit stu­dent
enrollment.
However, the faculty did not call
for the vote because they hoped that
by voicing complaints, passing
resolutions and planning an evalua­tion
of Funderburk, the University
Senate could elicit more positive
responses from Funderburk than
through a "no-confidence" vote.
It was then the faculty passed the
resolution authorizing an evalua­tion
of Funderburk.
SGA senate votes 16-13
to deny CARPs request
By Matt Lamere
Assistant News Editor
The SGA senate voted 16-13
Monday night to deny an application
for on-campus advertising rights to
the Collegiate Association for the
Research of Principles (CARP),
basing its decision on the belief that
CARP'spresenceat Auburn Univer­sity
is against the students' best
interest.
"Any action taken will be SGA
policy, and the president will take
that SGA policy under advisory,"
said Grant Davis, assistant to the
d ean of students, to- • clear up
some confusion about the implica­tions
of the senate's decision.
The two-man committee assigned
last week to look into the legal
aspects of the issue was apparently
under the impression that the
senate's decision would become
University policy and be backed up
as such.
Attached to the application denial
is a recommendation memo drawn
. up by this committee that explains
the senate's reasoning behind its
decision.
According to the memo, the
committee has conferred with
Henry Henderson, legal adviser to
students, and has been made aware
6f the' 'enormous legal implications
of CARP's application for on-cam­pus
advertising.
"Since the senate is not a judicial
body but rather a body to establish
policy, we feel that to endorse
CARP and allow them to advertise
uncontested on Auburn University's
campus is against the students' best
interest," the memo read.

Determination
Engineering student doesn't let handicap hinder activities
By Susan Robinson
Special to the Plainsman
Allen McLemore is currently
cycling from Auburn to the
Yucatan. Athletes often abandon
their cars to cycle thousands of
miles, but unlike McLemore,
most of them have two legs.
- McLemore, a 20-year-old civil
engineering student at Auburn
University, lost his left leg in a
gun accident when he was a
young teenager. But he was
determined not to let the accident
keep him from doing what he
wanted to do.
Shortly after the accident,
McLemore was fitted with an
artificial leg with a hydraulic
knee, enabling him to walk
without a cane and to ride a
bicycle. He rides all over Auburn
on his bike and often makes a
100-mile round trip to his home­town
of Montgomery.
Last summer, before McLe­more
bought his bike, he hitch­hiked
from New Orleans to
Mexico and back. He enjoyed his
trip so much he began planning
another long-distance journey.
McLemore decided to cycle
from Auburn to Merida in south-'
east Mexico. Since the trip would
take well over two months to
complete, he had to take a
quarter off from school.
To train for riding thousands of
grueling miles, McLemore began
riding his bike everywhere. By
November, he was cycling more
thanl0Omilesperweek."Ithink I
can ride more than 70 miles each
day without much difficulty,'' he
says.
"To prepare for the Inevitable
mechanical problems, I have
completed building a 10-speed
bicycle from scratch, and. after
much frustrating on-the-job
training, it turned outquite well,''
McLemore adds.
He decided to bicycle to Florida
to give the bicycle a "shakedown
cruise" over the Thanksgiving
holldays.He citedtheshort trip as
successful.
McLemore left for Mexico Dec.
lO.hopingto catch a fellow he had
heard was also cycling to Mexico.
"I spent three days In New
Orleans at the International
Youth Hostel, and that was
fantastic,'' he wrote a friend In
Alabama. "There were a lot of
Europeans there, and we would
break Into small groups at night
and go out. I just left Cajun
country where the people speak
with a very thick French accent,
which sounds neat."
Though McLemore admired
the Cajun accent, he did not care
for the rude, unfriendly attitude
toward him.
"They would shout obscenities
from their cars and zoom very
close to my bike. Otherwise, they
would stare and rarely speak-even
when spoken to. But here In
west Louisiana, the people are
friendly again," he says.
While travelingthrough Texas,
McLemore took his time because
he was constantly meeting
people. "I'm halfway to Merida
now! The most difficult 1,500
miles lie ahead, however."
McLemore has what It takes to
meet the challenge of such a
demanding journey. He may
have only one leg, but he makes
up for his loss with a strong will.
: "It's hard to put into words,"
hesays, "Butlreallyfeellntouch
with myself and the environ­ment.
My physical condition and
the environment overshadow
everything I do. That may not
sound like much fun, but If one.
gets caught up in the spirit of
adventure, it is simply incred­ible.

Vet school given five years to correct deficiencies
By Mark Almond
Associate Editor
The School of Veterinary Medicine has been placed on
"limited accreditation" for up to five years by the
American Veterinary Medicine Association.
* 'This Is not a loss of accreditation,'' said Dr. Stanley
P. Wilson, vice president for Agriculture, Home
Economics and Veterinary Medicine. "It simply points
out some deficienies, and we have five years to correct
these deficiencies. Anytime we believe we have
corrected the deficiencies, we can call the team back for
a reevalutatlon and petition for full accreditation," he
said.
The association cited inadequate funding, a high
faculty-student ratio and inadequate building main­tenance
as problems in the school needing correction.
Wilson agreed funding and the faculty-student ratio
are problems.
"When you go three years with very short money
support, considerably less than the rate of Inflation, lt!p
a total University experience. You expect some of your
programs to be in trouble," he said.
"We 're having problems with inadequate funding for
DARK TIMES

all our programs at Auburn University, and It's taking a
great deal of effort and patience to handle these
problems.
' 'The reason we've heard a good deal about the School
of Engineering and the School of Veterinary Medicine is
these are accredited programs," Wilson said. "Not all
of the programs of the University fall under
accreditation standards.
' 'We have other programs that It they were reviewed,
certainly might show some problems as a result of
inadequate funding over the past three or four years."
Dr. J.T. Vaughan, dean of Veterinary Medicine, was
in Washington, D.C., for a convention at press time and
was unavailable for comment. .
The student-faculty ratio in the vet school Is about
6%-to-l, said Wilson. "It seems like a lot of faculty per
student, six and one-half students to every faculty
member, but in most other vet schools, the ration is
aboutfour or four and one-half per faculty member," he
said.
The student-faculty ratio figures are misleading, said
Steve Allgood, president of the Auburn student chapter
of the AVMA. "In our first three years of study, the
student-faculty ratio is more like 115-1," he said. "We
are in a lecture room for six to eight hours a day with one
teacher at a time.''
In the last four quarters of the vet program, students
work in the large and small animal clinics, said Allgood.
"That's when the ratio is close to 6-1.
"The vet programs is a totally stuctured curricu­lum,'
' he said.' 'There are no electlves; everyone takes
the same courses regardless of what he wants to
specialize In." .
Allgood said he has communicated with Vaughan
about the situation. "Dr. Vaughan spoke to our first
meeting last fall,'' he said.' 'It made me feel a lot better
knowing he had his finger that close to the pulse of the
students and realized we had a lot of questions.
"He assured us they had done everything they could
before to keep those deficiencies from occurring, but
their words just fell on deaf ears."
The limited accreditation should "provide a little
teeth to their argument when they approach the
Legislature and Dr. Funderburk for funding in the
future," said Allgood.
The recommendations made in the report were based
on problems found by an evaluation team that visited
the vet school campus May 18-21.
The accrediting board recommended all faculty
positions frozen because of proration be filled, said
Wilson.
"We have unfrozen all of those positions as of Oct. 1
tills year, and recruiting is going on to fill all of those
vacancies," he said.
Enrollment in the veterinary program is also being
curtailed to reduce the student-faculty ratio. In a
meeting during summer quarter, the Board of Trustees
agreed to limit the freshman class to 100 students, a
reduction of 15 students effective fall 1982.
' 'You can look at It two ways,' * said Wilson.' 'We can
fill all of thepositionsand increase the number of faculty.
And we can also reduce the number of students, which
we're doing.
Recruiting veterinary professors is difficult, said
Wilson. "There is heavy competition from private
practice."

Tenure discrimination?
AAUP investigates case for possible improprieties
By Lynn Brown
Assistant News Editor
The American Association of
University Professors is investi­gating
a charge against Auburn
University of faculty tenure proce­dure.
Lida L. Mayfield, an associate
professor in the University's music
department, contacted the AAUP
with her complaints about tenure
denial in late May last year.
Through "repeated discussions"
with administrators for more than
six months, Jordan Kurkland,
AAUP general secretary, said the
organization decided to investigate
her case further.
Kurkland said there was a dis­crepancy
in Auburn's handling of
Mayfield's tenure.
"Our central concern is Mayfield
was terminated at the end of her 11th
year at Auburn," he said.
Kurkland said the AAUP's proce­dure
is tenure status should be
evaluated by the professor's peers
after seven years of service.
Mayfield had completed her 11th
year at Auburn when she received a
letter in June from Littleton saying
she had been denied tenure.
Anadhoc committee of professors
from other institutions will visit
Auburn and review the case with the
parties concerned, Kurkland said.
The committee review is one of
many steps in the process.
Kurkland explained a case must
conflict with the 1940 Statement of
Principles, followed by the AAUP1
and Auburn.
Arthur Wilke, president of
Auburn's chapter of AAUP, said,
"The AAUP's'redbook' (the organ­ization's
handbook) establishes
standards in tenure procedure sub­scribed
to by most major institu­tions."
He added the organization's
purpose is to monitor academic
freedom and tenure conditions.
"if a case conflicts with the
statement as Mayfleld's has, a
serious problem is established,"
Kurkland said.
After its Investigation, the com­mittee
will prepare a report which
will be presented to a standing
committee on academic freedom
and tenure, "Committee A." This
committee will then decide if
Auburn has violated the AAUP's
statement of principles, he said.
"Also, the University will be
subject to a process called 'cen­sure,'
" he said. Censurement
Includes publication of Auburn's
report of the tenure denial In the
AAUP's academic magazine.
Kurkland said no time frame had
been established for the commit­tee's
review of the case. He did say
the report would not be completed
before the AAUP's national con­ference
In June.
The professors are selected on a
voluntary basis, he said, which
increases the time Involved since no
compensation Is offered.
In August, Mayfield filed com­plaints
with three federal agencies
charging the University had dis­criminated
against her and denied
her tenure because she was handi­capped
and female.
According to Mayfleld's attorney,
Robert Harper, she Is registered as

Phi Delta in limbo, waiting on national reps
By Steve Farish
Editor
The University Committee on
Fraternities and Sororities will
meet again next Wednesday to
possibly add sanctions to those
imposed on Phi Delta Theta frater­nity.
The committee met Tuesday
afternoon but did not reach a
decision concerning a recommen­dation
from the Interfraternity
Council court that the committee
"consider the temporary suspen­sion
of the Phi Delta Theta charter.''
The delay in the committee's
decision was because of a request by
the Phi Delta Theta national head­quarters
that representatives from
that office be present when further
sanctions were discussed, said
Grant Davis, adviser to fraterni­ties.
"They just asked to be present
and to be contacted about the
meeting," he said.
The IFC court, which had met
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
concerning the fraternity, placed it
on "social probation" effective
immediately and ending Feb. 1,1983.
"Social probation shall be defined
as the prohibition of any social
activity planned, coordinated,
financed or in any way sponsored in
the name of the organization," the
court's decision read.
The decision also said exceptions
to that probation include little sister
rush and fraternity rush, though
alcoholic beverages could not be
"served or consumed" at those
functions. ._
The court's decision represented
an upgrading against a previous
sanction of disciplinary probation
against the fraternity.
The recommendation to the com­mittee
by the court was made after it
reviewed a series of memorandums
by Davis and IFC President Barry
Mask. Those memorandums out­lined
calls of complaints from
students and townspeople after an
' 'Air Florida Social" Jan. 21 and the
fraternity's annual "Bowery Ball"
Jan. 23., Mask said.
David Maloney, a member of the
IFC court, said evidence presented
against the Phi Delta Theta chapter
included a sworn police statement
and three sworn statements by
members of Delta Sigma Phi frater­nity
that Phi Delta Theta members
had initiated fights with them. The
court's deliberations took about
three hours," he said.
Jimmy Shoulders, president of
Phi Delta Theta, said he believes
"the trial was done fairly. I would
wait for the final decision before
commenting" on the penalties
themselves, he said.
Shoulders added he was pleased
with the delay by the committee in
considering further sanctions. "It's
something we asked for," he said.
Shoulders also said he had not
been in contact with his national
office concerning what type of
defense might be presented.
Davis said he understood that
presentation would Include some
local alumni of Phi Delta Theta as
well as national officers. He also
noted the committee could only
"withdraw recognition" of the fra­ternity's
charter because the char­ter
is from the national office.
In November, when a 60-day
investigation by the University
about Mayfleld's complaints was
completed, Littleton said the results
indicated she was treated fairly.
Those results were given to the
Department of Labor. Another
investigation gearedby the contract
compliance office in Birmingham
has been initiated.
A letter from Kurkland to Presi­dent
Hanly Funderburk and Little­ton
dated Dec. 2,1981, said Mayfield
had attained tenure since she had
continued to serve at Auburn with­out
a tenure review.
Littleton, according to the letter,
recognized that during the 1977-78
school year Mayfield had served her
eight year at Auburn. He also stated
in the letter that she would have to
obtain a terminal degree in her field,
a master of music in flute perfor­mance,
to be reviewed for continued
service.
Mayfield completed her degree
and was named an associate pro­fessor.
Another letter, dated Jan. 26 of
this year from the AAUP to Funder­burk
and Littleton, said an ad hoc
faculty committee "was unable to
find a suitable explanation for her
denial of tenure."
The only apparent reason, accord­ing
to the letter was a lack of
compatibility of Mayfield with
faculty members.
Kurkland said the Auburn Board
of Trustees adopted the 1940 state­ment
in 1964 after a 1968-1964
censurement by the AAUP.
Wilke said the organization,
which does not include a majority of
Auburn's faculty, helps faculty and
students in securing academic free­dom,
adding the AAUP "advises all
interested people" regardless of
membership.

Although two universities have
canceled his visit because of State
Department restrictions on his
activities, Auburn University will
welcome a Soviet scientist to its
campus.
Nicholay Umnov, a robotist of the
Soviet Union, has been sponsored by
an interacademy exchange pro­gram
between the Soviet Academy
of Sciences and the U.S. Academy of
Sciences, said Dr. Paul Parks, vice
president for research and dean of
the Graduate School.

SIMUN says Selden to speak
Armistead I. Selden, president of
the American League for Exports
and Security Assistance, Inc., will
speak for the 12th annual South­eastern
Invitational Model United
Nations (SIMUN) at Auburn Uni­versity
Feb. 4.
Selden will speak at 8 p.m. in the
Foy Union Ballroom. The public is
invited.
A native of Greensboro, Ala.,
Selden was elected to the House of
Representatives in 1951. He was
reelected seven times and retired in
1969.
While in Congress, he was a
member of the House Foreign
Affairs Committee and chairman of
the Subcommittee on Inter-
American Affairs.
From 1974tol979, Selden was the
U.S. ambassador to New Zealand,
Tonga and Western Samoa. He also
served as ambassador to the Fiji
Islands from 1974tol978. He has had
his position with ALESA, in Wash­ington,
D.C., since 1980.
Selden, who has been in private
law practice both in Alabama and in
Washington, D.C., holds a
bachelor's degree from the Uni­versity
of the South and a law degree
from the University of Alabama. He
received a doctorate of letters from
Alabama in 1975. •
Department with restrictions.
Some of these restrictions are on
the kind of research Umnov may see'
and what he may talk to faculty
members about; also, he may
discuss only published matters, and
he can't visit industrial sites.
Stanford University and the Uni­versity
of Wisconsin have canceled
Umnov's visit to their campuses,
saying the restrictions render any
visit useless.
Parks, however, said the situation
at these two universities is different
than at Auburn. Umnov was only
scheduled to stay at Auburn four
days, from May 24-27; whereas he
was scheduled to stay at Wisconsin
for a month.
Also, the professor Umnov
wanted to visit at Auburn, Dr.
William Bussell, said since he Isn't
doing any ongoing research in
Umnov'sfieldof Interest, and every­thing
he has done is published or has
been made public. He doesn't see
how this could violate the State
Department's restriction.
"When I received the letter, I did
not think we would have any diffi­culties,"
Bussell said. .
Bussell said although it wasn't
specifically mentioned, he assumed
Umnov wanted to discuss levered
locomotion since the data sheet on
him listed several papers he had
written on the subject.
"He only listed walking machine
papers, so I assume that's what he
was interested in," Bussell said.
He pointed out the Soviet's trip has
not yet been verified, and the May
dates were advanced only as tenta­tive.
Levered locomotion, the field
Umnov is Interested in, concerns
"machines that move on levers
instead of wheels," Bussell said.
"The principle has yet to be
developed.
' 'It is not yet a developed means of
locomotion except that which
nature gave to man," Bussell said.

University Senate asks for representation
By Dianne Lively
Plainsman Staff writer
The University Senate recently
adopted a resolution requesting the
chairmen of faculty senates at
Auburn University and AUM be
seated as ex-officio members of the
SigmaTauDelta
taking entries
Sigma Tau Delta, the English
honorary, is sponsoring its annual
writing contest in poetry and fiction.
First-, second- and third-place win­ners
will be selected in each
category and will receive cer­tificates.
First - place winners in each
category will receive cash awards of
$50 each and have their work
published in The Circle.
The contest is limited to currently
enrolled Auburn students. Entries
should not have been previously
published. They should be type­written
and submitted in duplicate
with the author's name on the cover
sheet only.
The deadline for entries is Feb.22.
No more than two entries in each
category may be submitted by one
person. There is a 50-cent sub­mission
fee.
Entries may be put in the Sigma
Tau Delta mailbox in 9030 Haley
Center or given to either Dr. Dan
Latimer (9066 Haley Center) or Dr.
Marcia Jacobson (9084 * Haley
Center).
Board of Trustees.
' 'It is mainly a symbolic gesture;
it would give the faculty access "to
the trustees on an official basis and
give the faculty an opportunity to
make recommendations, said John
Kuykendall, president of the
Faculty Senate.
The impact of faculty repre­sentatives
as ex-officio members
would be restricted because they
lack the right to vote.Gordon Bond,
president-elect of the Faculty Sen­ate,
noted, "toincreasevotingonthe
Board of Trustees there would have
to be an amendment to the state
constitution.
"The real business of the board is
done in thecommittees? Kuykendall
said. "The faculty representatives
would only participate as reactors to
the committees, and it is difficult to
always respond to the recommenda­tions
of the committees."
Bond added, "Having faculty
representatives on the board would
be to bring to the trustees views from
the campus and faculty."
SGA President Rip Britton said,
"Faculty input is needed, but I don't
think having faculty representa­tives
on the board will give them the
type of input they need."
Kuykendall said this is because
the faculty would not work on the
committees.
"The faculty is one of the most
important constituencies, but I
don' t know if I favor a corporate type
of representation to any one con­stituency,
'' said Robert H.Harris of
the Board of Trustees.

dentHanly Funderburk. As a result
of his "Individual attentions,"
Holsenbeck said he is able to
negotiate with legislators easier.
"When there's a tough issue, you
can sit down with them and discuss it
because they respect you and your
position," he said.
Agriculture at Auburn recently
received a boost in the recommend­ed
budget, which is now pending in
the Legislature.
"Our goal now is to get them to
hold the (budgeted) line items as
they are in the proposed budget,"
Holsenbeck said.
"If the economy in the state does
not improve," he warned, "there
could be cutbacks in higher educa­tion."
He was unsure of what effects
President Reagan's proposal to
return many programs to the states
would have on education budgets.
"It'stooearlytotell,yet,"he said.
The Auburn University system
was recommended for a series of
budget increases in the House,
Holsenbeck said.
"They recommended an 11 per­cent
increase in Auburn's O and M
(Operating and Maintenance)
budget, 17 percent in Auburn Uni­versity
in Montgomery's O and M
and a 6 percent increase for the two
agriculture units," he said.
Auburn will' 'eventually receive"
some of the money from the oil lease
windfall which Alabama received
last year, Holsenbeck added, but
there will have to be a statewide
referendum to approve a bond sale
first. Then money could be distrib­uted
in lump sums. Holsenbeck said
that such a referendum could
come as early as the second week
in March.
He said that the Auburn and
Alabama university systems are
almost evenly funded, but that
' 'Auburn and AUM do more for less"
with what they receive, making up
the apparent balance.
Holsenbeck also said the Univer­sity
supports a strengthened Ala­bama
Commission on Higher
Education, even though "we
haven't always been In agreement
with certain bills in the Legislature.''
He expects to return from Mont­gomery
today, depending on wheth­er
the education budget gets passed.

'To foster the Auburn Spirit'
For zoning changes
Zoning in Auburn has had an antagonistic
slant.
In the early' 50s, the first zoning ordinances
specifically mentioned students as being
restricted. Other changeswere made, however,
until only unrelated individuals were expressly
denied the right to live in certain zones.
The four zones, R-2, R-80, R-100 and R-125,
comprise nearly half of the city effectively
confining students to certain areas, many of
which are in states of disrepair and neglect.
The city's housing and zoning department
only enforces the law if complaints are made,
which causes some students fear and could
result in their being left homeless, through no
fault of their own.
Realtors in Auburn have rented houses to
students even though they knew those areas
were illegal for unrelated people. They have
told many the city doesn't enforce the law and
they've never had any trouble with such
enforcement.
The opposite is true, however. Dave
Harding, director of housing and zoning, said
about 10-15 evictions occur each year, many of
them students.'
Students in the past have failed to react to
this situation, which suited the city just fine,
Wt now, the SGA is negotiating with the City
Council in an attempt to open all the city for
students.
The present zoning laws are arbitrary, hurt
realtors and students and are unreasonable.
We believe the present zoning laws should
be abolished, and we applaud the SGA for its
attempts to make Auburn available to anyone
willing to pay rent.
The City Council is finally being shown
students do care what happens to them, and
since there are more students than other
residents in Auburn, their rights cannot always
be trampled with impunity.
Help vet school
The announcement last week that Auburn's
School of Veterinary Medicine received only
"limited accreditation" from the American
Veterinary Medical Association should concern
Alabama's leadership.
The association said if the school does not
improve its funding status, high student-teacher
ratio and inadequate maintenance, it
could lose accreditation in five years.
Each member of the Legislature should be
furnished with a copy of the association's
report. Auburn's vet school provides critical
medical and health research for the state's key
animal industries; to let it drop from the once
pre-eminent national reputation it had would
mean hurting an industry that pumps millions
of dollars annually into the state's economy.
A strong argument on behalf of the vet
school is it is the only such state-supported
facility in Alabama. Noonecan cry duplication
and then cut back on funding; if the state
wants a topflight vet school, it will have to
support the one at Auburn better.
The AVMA report should "provide a little
teeth to (the school officials') argument when
they approach the Legislature and Dr.
Funderburk for funding in the future,"
predicted Steve Allgood president of the
Auburn student chapter of the AVMA.
AsAllgood.wehopethosenew "teeth" can
be used to put the bite on the Legislature for
increased funding for the school. Dairy and
cattle industry lobbyists could even be
recruited to help the cause.
The vet school must be helped. The state has
no other alternative except losing one of its
most valuable assets.
Senate denies ri
The debate in the SGA senate Monday night
concerning whether to allow the Collegiate
Association for the Research of Principles
(CARP, a group associated with the Unifi­cation
Church of the Rev. Sun Myung-Moon)
to advertise and distribute its newspaper on
campus was as confusing as the final negative
vote.
Several senators argued since they consti­tuted
a legislative body rather than a judicial
one, they could make a decision on CARP
without considering court precedents which
were stacked heavily in favor of the right of
religious groups to distribute materials on
campuses.They were saying in effect they could
ignore the First Amendment, which guaran­tees
freedom of speech.
The senators in favor of not allowing CARP
to advertise often mentioned they thought
they were voting to reject an organization
which they and their constituencies violently
opposed.
Did these same senators, though, not
perceive that perhaps their constituencies were
the best people to answer whether they would
response to CARP.
Faculty rep needed
In December 1968, then President Harry
Philpott refused to allow funds to bring liberal
minister William Sloane Coffin to campus,
also banning his appearance here. The
president' s ruling was contested in court by five
students and two faculty members who
eventually won the right to have Coffin speak
on Feb. 6, 1969.
The now famous Judge Frank Johnson
handed down the decision from the U.S.
District Court. He cited a 1965 Supreme Court
case which had said "The dissemination of
ideas can accomplish nothing if otherwise
willing addressees are not free to receive and
consider them.
"It would be a barren market place of ideas
that had only sellers and no buyers,'' the high
court's decision read.
The lesson from the Coffin experience is
clear enough—Auburn University cannot ban
the freedom of religious expression from
campus.
It seems the 16 senators who voted not to
allow CARP to advertise considered little more
than their personal feelings when they voted.
CARP should expect more than that. So
should the students of Auburn University.
Brief mention was given at last week's Board
of Trustees meeting of a resolution passed by
the University Senate that calls for a faculty
member to sit on the board as a non-voting
member.
President Hanly Funderburk said only that
his office had. received the resolution and that
he felt it would be acted upon at a later date by
the trustees.
We hope the board will take the resolution
under serious consideration. Adding a
non-voting.member does not require legis­lative
approval, so the final decision is up to the
trustees.
As faculty have noted, student government
presidents from both the Auburn and
Montgomery campuses sit in on the board as ex
officio, non-voting members. Such represen­tation
does give students input into board
proceedings; a flurry of meetings between
SGA President Rip Britton and trustees
concerning the Student Activities Building is a
recent example of that input.
The faculty too, as a large constituency
within the University, needs the possibility of
input cm bodie din the position of a permanent,
non-voting member of the board.
We would not favor expanding the position
to a voting one in either the case of the student
or the faculty trustee. As a recent paper written
by the National Commission on College and
University Trustee Selection points out, both
such members would represent special interest
groups, meaning they might not necessarily
vote with the best interest of the larger
University community in mind.
Non-voting members, though, ensure a
needed voice on the major decision-making
body in the University.

Petiton shows 'unprofessionalism'
Benjamin Disraeli, the 19th century British
prime minister, once said, "A university should
be a place of light, of liberty and of learning."
Auburn has on one of these points failed to be a
university, for the light of toleration, though not
snuffed out, has at least been dimmed a great
deal.
Last week, in response to a "no response" from
the Board of Trustees concerning a faculty
evaluation of President Hanly Funderburk, Dr.
Coke Reed a professor of mathematics, began
circulating a petition calling for a "no
confidence" vote on the president.
The resolution had obtained the required 60
signatures by Monday meaning it can be
presented as a resolution to the University
Senate. Almost nothing can stop the vote now.
Since the controversial presidential search
ended with pointed fingers and the selection of
Funderburk 22 months ago, a certain core of the
faculty at Auburn University has been vocally
against his presidency and him personally. That
core, primarily located within the School of Arts
and Sciences, has reared its head once again with
this petition.
Reed's own comments in newspapers last
week indicate how poorly informed the framers
of the petition were in some areas and what
misconceptions they held.
The professor said, for example, that one clear
case of the failure of Funderburk's leadership
was his advocation of expansion of Jordan-Hare
Stadium before the Board of Trustees.
The expansion, of course, was approved by the
board Nov. 29,1979, more than 16 months before
Funderburk became president of Auburn and 10
months before Harry Philpott announced his
retirement from the office.
The professor also did not seem to check into
the facts when he told a reporter the trustees
never had any intention of building a Student,
Activities Building with student activities fees
collected each quarter. "The trustees took that
money and squirreled it away hoping interest
rates would fall," he said. "They keep the money,
and the students don't get a building."
If Reed had talked to a single student who had
sat in on one of numerous meetings among
students, administrators and trustees about the
building, he would have heard a different
opinion. These students found trustees (especi­ally
Henry Steagall of Montgomery) who felt
both concern and pressure to move ahead with
the building. They also found an accounting
error made by students three years ago had
contributed as much to the construction delay as
high interest rates.
Finally, Reed accuses the administration of
using "25 students (who) show up at the Capitol
to beg" as the University's lobby effort.
Not only have the student lobbyists acted
independently of the administration (such was
an understanding reached long ago), it is an
obvious hyperbole to say the University's lobby
efforts consist solely of that activity. Funder­burk
and Legislature liaison Dan Holsenbeck
have worked many, many hours with law­makers;
a real increase in Auburn's funding for
1982-1983 should show these efforts are paying
off.
More than dissatisfaction with the process
that produced Funderburk has resulted in the
petition, of course. Faculty do have legitimate
concerns about the weakness of the trustees'
response to their evaluation and the lack of
faculty input often witnessed in the admini­strative
decision-making process.
These incidents, however, are not enough to
provoke a "no confidence" petition (the
negotiations process has been far from
exhausted); rather, the petition is the manifes­tation
of a long-planned political power grab
whose precedent lay in the forced resignation of
Dr.David Matthews, the former president of the
University of Alabama.
The faculty who sign the petition are not
giving the president adequate time to establish
his administration and its policies.
Financial misfortunes such as proration have
plagued the administration since its first days.
With the prospect of increased legislative
funding as well as the continued success of the
Generations Fund, ought we not give the
president a chance to see how he can operate
under favorable conditions?
Ought we not also admit some of the brighter
financial picture, especially in the case of the
fund, is in part because of his determination?
The petition reveals the opinions of a minority
of faculty many of whom fear Funderburk's
renewed emphasis on agriculture and engi­neering
at Auburn. The petition reaches a level
of unprofessionalism I had hoped the faculty
here would never reach.
Last fall, I wrote I believed a certain minority
of the faculty was intent on ending the
presidency of Hanly Funderburk. Three faculty
members, including John Kuykendall, Univer­sity
Senate president, wrote in reply, "The
presumption there is a small band of assassins
which is stirring up most or all of the trouble is
one which deserves more careful documentation
than you have produced. We know of no evidence
to support such an allegation; indeed, we see
much which testifies to the contrary."
The evidence officially reads, "We, the
general faculty of Auburn University, having no
confidence in the ability of Dr. Funderburk to
effectively lead the University, request his
resignation."
Few sadder chapters have ever been written
at Auburn University. Disraeli's light, like that
from the lamps of Europe described 30 years
later by Viscount Grey of Follodon, is going
out.
The viscount's prediction that "we shall not
see them lit again in our lifetime" must not be
allowed to come true at Auburn University.
NFL players take baseball's lead
As you remember last summer, Mr. Baseball
Player III waged another dangerous six-week
strike against Tyrant Owners to bring his
"freedom" to the Great American Pastime. But
just when sports fans were so relieved to see Mr.
Baseball end his bout, the Great Football Player
is beginning to plot a dangerous return to the
one-on-one competition at the negotiating table.
Spanning the globe to bring you the constant
variety in collective bargaining-the thrill of
victory and the agony of defeat. Welcome to the
Wide World of Striking.
The National Football League Players
Association and Ed Garvey, its executive
director, are looking at a long strike beginning
next season if, as Garvey said, "the NFL
Management Council takes the same position as
the management of baseball." j
The players have made a long list of demands
ranging from a new dental insurance plan to a
serious effort to get rid of artificial turf. The
biggest of these, however, is the players'
demands to get a percentage of the NFL teams'
gross revenues.
This demand is what "Sports Illustrated" calls
"the 55 percent solution," meaning the players
should receive at least 55 percent of the gross
revenues.
Why does Garvey believe the players need
such a large percentage? There are two reasons.
The NFL teams earn about the same amount
no matter how well they do on the field. All clubs
share equally, said Garvey, the same amount of
TV and gate receipts for the regular season and
the playoffs. Garvey said this gives owners no
incentive to sign free agents or pay established
players more money.
Garvey also said the NFL clubs compare
salaries to keep them as low as possible. In 1967,
when there was an American Football League
and National Football League rivalry, the gross
revenues in football salaries were about 68
percent. With that competition gone, the
percentage of gross revenues has lowered to
between 30 and 40 percent.
The distribution of money would begin in a
pool of the total gross revenues received from
each club. Every player would receive a base
salary from the pool, and then bonuses would be
given to players who made all-pro or went to the
playoff.
Jack Donlan is the owners' representative,
and it has been claimed by Wilbur Spurloch of
the Machinists Union and Donlan's counterpart
in another union battle, that "If they (the NFL
owners) want to break the players' —, Donlan is
the tool to do it."
Donlan said his clients won't be pleased with a
player's percentage of the gross receipts no
matter how high it is. The owners are actually
giving the players a percentage of control,
Donlan adds, and the owners will refuse to let the
players run their business.
Some highly-paid players may not get great
satisfaction from this move; such is something
even Garvey agreed with. The players with
larger salaries could end up with an extremely
small increase because of their lack of tenure in
the league and their failure to make the playoffs.
The NFLPA had a strike in 1974, and it turned
out to be a semi-disaster. When negotiations
faltered, the players walked out of their training
camps. Six weeks later, the players came back
without being in any better shape. The demands
were granted in court, but Garvey lost his
credibility.
This time, Garvey claimed, communications
are in much better shape, and his staff is larger
(to make better contacts with supporting
unions.) But Garvey said he thought the biggest
advantage is the players have a solid issue this
time.
This issue may appear solid, but the owners
are not going to put the responsibility of their
teams in the hands of their employees. They will
not give in.
It seems the players have found a new sport
within their own. A new sport needs new
coverage. Eventually, maybe the strike talks
will be televised so the fans can be right in on the
action similar to what they are able to do when
the players are on the field.
I suppose we can look forward when we'll have
Jack Donlan in one corner, Ed Garvey in another
and Gordon Solie, along with Rod Piper as the
ringside commentator.
Latest best sellers: cats and cubes
"Cats must die!"
"They must all die in painful and unspeakable
ways!"
These statements are not expressions of
personal emotion or preference. They are part of
a commercially-designed marketing strategy.
I prepared this strategy as I read a list of
best-selling paperbacks at a local bookstore. In
the top 10, were three books for cat lovers, three
books for cat haters, three books on the Rubik's
Cube of indeterminate disposition and a
"Scratch 'n' Sniff Joys of Sex."
Since America's literary tastes are climbing
so rapidly, even a newspaper columnist would be
a fool not to aim for this new market. Observe:
HOW TO LOVE YOUR CAT
Dress him up in expensive children's clothing.
Ican'tthinkof anythingelse. Hating cats is much
more fun.
HOW TO HATE YOUR CAT
Shoot him, hit him, choke him, shake him,
mangle him, place-kick him, throttle him. Punch
him in the stomach. Twist his little cat paws.
Put cat in microwave and peel him out. Make
designs on him with Nair. Fill his ears with glue.
Clock him with radar as he falls from Haley
Center. i
Run down the sidewalk and rattle cat against a
picket fence. Go to a basketball court and make
"cat" free throws. Strap him to the bottom of a
f risbee and sling it into a parking lot. Swing him
rapidly by the tail until it comes off.
Rub chewing gum in his hair. Chase him
around with a weed eater. Slam the car door on
his hand. Say to cat, "Hey, look" and set off a\
flashbulb. Wake him up in the morning by
cracking eggs on his head. Give cat to little kids
and tell them to color him with crayons.
Ride on him. Borrow his records and scratch
them. Flick him on the nose. Lock him in the
shower and run the water until he looks like an
apricot.
Tell cat the dog is coming and hide him under
the mattress. Leave him there.
Sneak up behind cat and pop a paper bag. Stick
his head in one of those blood pressure testers at
a shopping mall and inflate it.
When cat is busy in litter box, blast him with a
fire extinguisher. Wait until cat takes a drink of
milk; then tell him a joke so he'll laugh and spit it
up.
WHAT TO DO WITH A RUBIK'S CUBE
Phase 1: Open the box, take cube out, read
instructions. Start turning the sides of the cube
awkwardly as you glance back at the
instructions. Speed up the process.
Twist it, turn it, spin it. Stop to contemplate it
and then twist it some more. Go to bed.
Wake up, eat breakfast, go for the cube. Twist
and turn and spin it. Get in your car and drive to
work. Twist cube in the car while driving with
your, elbows.
Do your job for the morning. Hide cube by
water cooler and sneak in a few, spins.
Go to lunch. Buy only a root beer with a straw
to keep your hands free.
Work for the afternoon. If boss gets
suspicious, switch cube from water cooler to the
Mr. Coffee.
Drive home, skip dinner, work on the cube.
Spin it, twist it, throw it to the floor. Pace
furiously, get a drink. Go back to the cube, twist
and spin.
Scream profanities. Drink heavily. Twist the
cube viciously until you break it. Go to bed. Lose
sleep.
Phase 2: Buy another cube. Buy books to solve
the cube. Spin and twist and turn. Buy more
books. Continue to work at it. Buy a
Hewlet-Packard home computer to solve the
cube.
Labor over the cube for hours. Slam it down.
Yell, at the top of your lungs and tear your
clothing. ,
Peel the colored stickers off the cube and
replace them so the sides match up.
Phase3: Stomp on the cube. Hit it with a rock.
Throw it against a wall. Tie it to the bumper of
your car and drag it down the street.
Smash it with a crowbar. Blow the pieces
apart with a shotgun. Gather up the particles
into a pile. Pour gasoline on it, light it and watch
it melt.
Buy another cube.
Phase 4: Throw it at your cat.
A-5 The Auburn Plainsman Thursday, February 4,1982
Governor lacks vision for University's future
Column had wrong emphasis
in judging Phi Delta Theta's
Editor, The Plainsman,
Can there perhaps be some comparison made
between the individuals responsible for acts of
"blasphemy" and the attention-starved journal­ist
who chooses td use his creativity toward
deliberate ostracizing of a group of human
beings? Do two wrongs blown out of proportion
make a right?
Can you justify, in your own mind, publicly
ridiculing this fraternal order (Phi Delta Theta)
for a series of events that may have been in poor
taste but hardly a case for the firing squad? Your
sarcasm in this column (Tim Trockenbrot, Jan.
28) offended your audience because it demon­strated
a lack of professionalism journalism
must pride itself with.
Your point was valid—"parties like this have
been going on much too long," but you poorly
represented your case. The caliber of your
techniques is unmistakably similar to that of
newspaper columnists assigned to critique
current movies. Your accusations were primari­ly
unwarranted "cheap shots." Your final
comment concerning the Phi Delts having
exemplified "that cowardice which most men
overcome in adolescense" was ludicrous.
I deeply believe the Phi Delts were in no way
trying to cause pain or offense to anyone on this
campus. Their intentions were hardly malicious
in nature.
Those actions cannot be condoned, but who
are you or anyone else to condemn? It is not our
right to judge the acts of others but instead to
learn from them and perhaps benefit in the
process.
- If my attacks have been harsh, it is because I
too am trying to drive home an important point.
The media sometimes thrive ,on dissecting
individuals in the public light, and those
dissections are done without first considering
the repercussions of harm that most assuredly
follow.
The column laid blame on the Phi Delts for acts
that were not thought out first for their
repercussions of harm. Then the question comes
to mind—who is right? The clear answer is
neither.
Columns should strive to bring the public's
attention to situations relevant to each of us to
stimulate an awareness of areas of importance,
not to induce embarrassment, point fingers or
make judgments about the nature of right and
wrong.

Filler presented slur on females
Editor, The Plainsman,
In the Jan. 28 issue of The Plainsman, a blatant
sexual slur appeared as a "filler." This slur was
"Women are like elephants. I like to look at them,
but I wouldn't want to own one."
This reference to women is distasteful
because it equates women with animals and
because it suggests women are material goods to
be owned. This quotation is inexcusable coming
from a University-sponsored newspaper, given
the University's discriminatory policies on
hiring and admission.
Equating women with animals dehumanizes
and objectifies every female faculty member,
every female staff worker and every female
student at Auburn. The language we use leads us
to perceive in certain ways; referring to women
as elephants and material goods discourages
perception of women and men on equal terms,
participating equally in the world.
Further, the use of such a sexual slur assumes
an all male audience for your paper. Do you
honestly feel the female professionals, staff and
students of this University do not read The
Plainsman? If you consider these women to be
part of your audience, why do you go out of your
way to insult them?
Finally, the slur is a quote from W. C. Fields.
Fields was a comedian in the 1930s—obviously
the editors of your paper have a 1930s mentality.
The essence of this mentality is the inability to
treat women as equals. I believe an apology to
your readers in appropriate.

Assistant Professor
Speech Communications
Editor, The Plainsman,
The recent visit of Gov. Fob James to Address
the Auburn University Senate did little to help
resolve the tough problems of higher education
in the state, let alone those of Auburn in
particular.
Of the dozen or so questions shot to the
governor, he gave forthright answers to only
two or three from my perspective.
As he sketched the background and his
understanding of the higher education problem,
he correctly described a situation in which
neither lawmakers nor the public has any
guidelines, mandates or control with which to
keep institutions like Auburn strictly account­able
to those who fund its operations and
services to the state and nation.
In past years, under the leadership of
President Harry Philpott, there was less need in
a period of tremendous growth to attempt a
. strict accounting for all monies and programs.
With the current climate, things have changed
drastically, and most now realize continued
growth in such geometric proportions is no
longer possible and, in fact, not desirable.
Present popular expectations no longer fit the
economic, political or societal realities. Auburn
willnotgrowquantitatively speaking; the major
question is will it continue to provide the
programs, services and spiritual leadership it
has apparently provided in the recent past?
My greatest dsiappointment was the way the
governor failed to respond to the question of
what Auburn will be like in the next 20-30 years
and what universities will or should be its peers?
The governor, as frequently happens with
others near and dear to Auburn, followed the
tendency to look backward to what Auburn was
or what they dream it to be in their reveries
rather than imagine and construct in their minds
what it might be in the future. You don't have to
be an academic futurist to create an image of
what the "University" in the generic sense can
be for Alabamians and citizens of this country.
We surely need responsive, imaginative and
creative leadership and need it individually as
well as collectively.
If some recent statistics cited in the
Opelika-Auburn Daily News and in the AU
Report are contrasted, one might see where lack
of vision and leadership has resulted in a gulf
between administrator and faculty interests.
The News revealed administrative salaries
are some 29 percent above average of those of
select universities across the nation (how much
higher might they be than those in the
Southeast?), while faculty salaries are about 2
percent higher than peer institutions in the
region only if total benefits, including retire­ment,
are added (How much higher would
administrative salaries have been if these same
benefits were included?).
All of these things aside, Auburn has a
mission, one which is only more or less
inter pre table to Alabama citizens as a whole but
which could be reasonably and fiscally account­able
to legislators, the governor and the
commissioners of higher education. We can little
afford miscommunication to any of these
supporters. Let's try to be more honest with one
another and tell the Auburn story as it is while
demonstrating we care about the future of
Auburn as well as listening to those who provide
for its support.

amusing this year
Editor, The Plainsman,
Last year, when I was a freshman here at
lovely Auburn University, I found myself in the
minority among my friends when I expressed a
distaste for Tim Dorsey's columns in The
Auburn Plainsman. I found them to be distinctly
unamusing and sometimes downright obnox­ious.
However, this year I anxiously await each new
issue of The Plainsman so I can have a few
minutes of good laughter on Thursdays. Either
my taste or Mr. Dorsey's style has changed.
Whatever the case may be, I applaud you, Mr.

what she thought was right. As for dodging and
rewording questions, she gave clear facts.
To some, her attitude is idealistic and
outdated, just like the attitudes of the men and
women who founded this country on moral,
biblical principles. As far as responsibility goes,
she has fought the fight for seven years not as a
professional businesswoman, but as a housewife
and mother who has been accepting the
responsibility for doing the work, traveling and
sacrificing necessary to accomplish what she
feels is right.
Her type of thinking-was feasible, economi­cally
and reason wise for almost 200 years only
because it worked. The "new" thinking based on
situational ethics and arbitrary law has not
shown me a whole lot along the lines of working
for the good of any other then those directly

It seems this, as any other "hot" issue, boils

Editor, The Plainsman,
I am writing on behalf of the Phi Delta Theta
little sisters. We have heard many derogatory
comments about the Phi Delta Thetas from
various students, and this bothers us. We realize
the airport social was in bad taste; however,
other organizations have participated in similar
activities that were later regreted. Contrary to
popular belief, the Phi Delts meant no harm, nor
did they mean to offend anyone.
In the past, many people have started rumors
involving the Phi Delts; now people believe
anythingthey hear about them. This is really sad
because we have never met these animals
everyone is talking about. The reputation the
Phi Delts now have is not one they have given
themselves but one others have given them Who
are these people to judge the Phi Delta Thetas.

Plane crash victim
great Auburn man
Editor, The Plainsman,
It is ironic that The Plainsman with the story
of the "Air Florida" party arrived on the day Ed
Cobb was buried at Arlington National
Cemetery.
Ed was killed in the Air Florida crash. He was
my roommate in the spring quarter of 1956, and
he loved and served Auburn with all his heart.
Ed was a distinguished military graduate at
Auburn, and he had served his country with an
Army career. He was a colonel in the Army
Strike Command stationed at McDill Air Force
Base in Florida. At Auburn, Ed was student
body president, junior senator and freshman
senator. He worked diligently on the Glomerata
and on a number of committees and boards. His
wife, sister and brother-in-law were also
distinguished Auburn students.
I know the people who used the "Air Florida"
party theme had no thought of Ed or of hurting
his family. If he were here, Ed could recount
some outlandish themes and pranks from his
day. It is a part of human nature that we must
learn from our own sad experiences, but I hope
this incident will save someone future embar­rassment
by teaching that pranks, fun and
hazing can get out of hand all too easily.
I would hope we could start some sort of
tribute or memorial to Ed Cobb to perpetuate
the memory of the good example he set for us as a
student and a person.

'At least9 200 students living in illegal housing zones
By Monlque VanLandlngham
Assistant Features Editor
Fear of eviction keeps most students and
real estate agencies quiet on the subject of
students living in residential zones, but some
evidence indicates many of those living in
R-2 zones are breaking the law.
One such student, who wishes to remain'
anonymous, estimated 20-25 percent of the
residents of R-2 zone are students unrelated
by blood or marriage who could be evicted if
discovered.
Tommy Johnson, off-campus senator,
agreed more than 200 students are living in
that zone illegally. "I'm sure there's that
number at least," he said.
Auburn University housing officials plead
ignorance in the situation. "I have not been
involved in it. I have no idea (how many
students are living in illegal zones)," said
Gussie Calhoun, the University's authority
on off-campus housing. "I can't answer
questions (on this subject) with any degree
of accuracy."
The city of Auburn's director of housing
and zoning also says he is unaware of any
problems in the R-2 zone.
"If I knew of any (students), I'd have to
cite them. I hope there are none," he said
adding he knows only of cases reported to
him.
Tim Dorsey, off-campus senator, who has
researched the issue, said,"Evans Realty
has admitted it is a regular practice to rent
students in the R-2 zone.'' He said the SGA is
currently working with the City Council to
ease matters in that zone. "We're mainly
concerned with R-2,'' he said, explaining the
other three zones where unrelated indivi­duals
may not live together consist of
one-family dwellings, but both houses and
duplexes are rented in the R-2 area.
A spokesman for Auburn Agency Inc.
admitted until last August, three students
were living in a house owned by the agency.
"I'm sure there have been single cases of
students living in illegal zones for years that
were never reported," he said.
' 'As long as they're quiet, probably no one
would notice them. Noise is the factor. It's
understandable; a homeowner wants some
peace and quiet and doesn't want to be
disturbed.
"It could be there are very few, if any
(students living in illegal zones). There's
been a crackdown for about four years...
especially where older people live, in the'
older sections of town," he said.
Jim Gory, off-campus senator, thinks the
opposite is true.
"A lot of students live in R-2, but I don't
know of any figures," he said.
Another senator who wished to remain
unidentified said he lives in R-2 and has had
no difficulties with the arrangement to this
•point,"and I'd better not," he added.
Denson Libscomb, Auburn City Council
president, noted why so little is known about
the zoning situation.' "There are no statistics
like that kept. As to how many (students) are
living there now, I would have no basis to
make any kind of estimate."
SGA president Rip Britton said he knows
several students personally who are living in
R-2 zone. "I really couldn't quote you a
number on it. If they live there, they're not
going to admit it because they'd be evicted. *'

Frank Burton, 4 AC, displays the citation he
received last Monday from the Auburn
Housing and zoning department. Burton's
realtor gave the other two occupants a
trailer, without electricity, so the trio
would no longer be in violation of the zoning
laws.
SGA amends resolution,
asks all zones be opened
By Matt Lamere
Assistant News Editor
The SGA Senate voted to amend its zoning
resolution Monday night to open all zones to
students rather than just the R-2 zone.
Auburn zoning ordinance 501.3 prohibits
two or more unrelated individuals from
living in the same dwelling in city zoning
districts R-125, R-100, R-80 and R-2.
Tim Dorsey, the off-campus senator who
proposed the resolution as well as the
amendment, said "We decided to go for all
four zones because we have some leverage
now we weren't aware of before."
Dorsey said there are precedent court
rulings that allow for small numbers of
people to be declared functional family units
regardless of whether they are related.
The principle in the original resolution
"can be applied to all zones equally," said
Dorsey.
A copy of the resolution has not been
formally presented to the mayor, the City
Council or the planning commission, but
they are aware of it, said Dorsey.
Presenting the resolution to these groups
has been complicated by the David Taunton
case, saidDorsey.' 'We are tryingto time our
procedure along with the progress of that
case so it will work best.
' 'We will be speaking with the councilmen
and the planning commission as soon as we
see the developments of the planning
commission with the Taunton case this
week," he said.
Matching strategies
Auburn's SGA is currently negotiating with
the city council on the zoning problem. At

Student reaction to code mixed over past years
By Mark Almond
Associate Editor
In 1967, four students were evicted from
their Lakeview Drive house because they
were not related.
This was the first violation of the zoning
code passed in September of that year which
prohibited unrelated people from living in
restricted zones, according to a 1967 issue of
The Plainsman.
One of the evicted students had been
arrested for operating a "disorderly pre­mise."
The charge was dismissed when the
students agreed to move.
Fourteen property owners in the Lakeview
Drive area presented a petition to the mayor
and City Council asking them to "produce
ways and means to discontinue the rental of
one- and two-family houses to tenants that
definitely are not family, but University
students, both male and female.
"The practice of rental houses to unmar­ried
boys has become a public nuisance that
is degrading.
"The petition was directed not at the
students but at those people renting to
them," said one Lakeview resident inter­viewed
in a Plainsman article. "I'm talking
about those people who are trying to make
fast buck while going around the law.
"We'll file complaints against every place
out here which rents to students," he said.
One Lakeview resident expressed regret
for signing the petition. "I've lived around
here for the last 13 years, and I've never
heard any disturbances yet by students
living in the area," he said.
Little other mention of the zoning code was
made in The Plainsman until February 1978.
A student living in a restricted zone in a
Wrights Mill road duplex sucessfully
appealed his eviction to the Board of Zoning
Adjustment.
A clause in the zoning code stated a
building not conforming to the code when it
was built was exempt from the code. The
student's duplex had been built in the 1930s
and was occupied by students when the code
was enacted.
In April 1978, Bob Burton, SGA director of
off-campus housing, presented an amend­ment
to the Auburn Planning Commission
allowing students to live in all areas of the
city. It was unanimously defeated.
Henry Henderson, legal adviser to
students, is often quoted in stories dealing
with the zoning code. "There was an older
woman who wanted to buy a house. A couple
wanted to move in with her and pay rent, but
they weren't related, so they couldn't," he
said.

What All These Numbers and Zones Mean
Of the six residential districts in
Auburn, only two permit unrelated
individuals to reside together.
..Zones R-125, R-100 and R-80 allow
single-family dwellings but not duplexes
or multi-family dwellings. R-2 zones
permit single-family dwellings and du­plexes
but no multi-family dwellings. All
four zones donot permit unrelated people
to live together.
. .Zones R-2A and R-3permit single, two
and multi-family dwellings. Fraternity
and sorority houses and dormitories are
allowed in zone R-S but not in R-wA.
.. Eachdistrict is not concentrated in one
area but is scattered around the city in
various areas.
.. The major R-2 zone area where the
present student housing controversy on
unrelated housemates exists is in the
vicinity of McKmley and Oak streets.

Student files eviction appeal with c<
By Tim Dorsey
Technical Editor
An Auburn student is appealing to
the Lee County Count Circuit Court
his eviction by the city from a
restricted housing zone, according
to the court clerk.
David Taunton of 241 Oak St. filed
his appeal Dec. 3, 1981, to continue
living at his R-2 residence. Un­related
individuals are not per­mitted
to live in R-2 zones, and
Taunton and Ms roommate are not
related.
The two are living at their R-2
residence until the case is heard.
although that date is unknown.
The city notified Taunton in fall to
move from his house by Oct. 28,1981.
He appealed to the Auburn Board of
Zoning Adjustment for a variance to
remain at his present address, but
the appeal was denied Nov. 18,1981.
Taunton is also requesting an
amendment from the Auburn Plan­ning
Commission to allow unrelated
Individuals to live in an R-2 zone. The
hearing is scheduled for Feb. 11.
' 'At first I thought it was just us,"
Taunton said;'and we didn't have a
good chance." He added, with the
interest generated in the press and
on campus, his prospects look much
better.

Realtors may be violating laws
By Dave Bean
Managing Editor
Realtors in Auburnhave leased
and sold dwellings to students in
zones where they knew it was
illegal for students to live, which
John Rice, president of the Lee
County Board of Realtors, said is
unethical.
"As far as going against
ethics," Rice said, "this kind of
action gets an unqualified yes."
Rice based his statement on the
articles in the National Associa­tion
of Realtors book of ethics.
There are three specific arti­cles,
Rice said, making this
action by realtors unethical.
Article 9 from the book said the
realtor "shall avoid exaggera­tion,
misrepresentation or con­cealment
of pertinent facts. He
has an affirmative oblicgation to
discover adverse factors a
reasonably competent investi­gation
would disclose."
The realtor cannot claim he
didn't know the zone was illegal
according to Article 2. Rice read,
"In justice to those who place
their interests in his care, the
realtor should endeavor always
to be informed regarding laws,,
regulations, proposed legisla­tion,
governmental regulations,
public policies and current mar­ket
conditions to be in a position to
advise his clients."
These rules are enforced by a
complaint committee where
clients can bring action against
realtors to settle differences,
Rice said.
Rice specified he was reading
from the National Association of
Realtors book of ethics, and some
of the realtors involved in leasing
to students may not be members
of this association.
David Erf man, of the Alabama
Realty Commission, said, "We
enforce the real estate license
law. A realtor could have his
license revoked if he violates one
of 28 things in this law."
Erfman said nothing speci­fically
said a realtor has to tell
someone he will be living in an
illegal rone, but the' 'number one
thing" in the real estate license
law is a realtor must not make
substantial misrepresentations.
The violators of the law must be
brought before seven commis­sioners
in the form of a formal
complaint and reviewed on an
individual case basis.
Erfman said if the realtor is
sued, appropriate action must be
taken or he will be in jeopardy of
losing his license.
"Anytime a licensee is sued,"
Erfman said,' 'he must notify the
commission within 10 days of his.
being sued, and if it goes against
him, it may result in suspension
of his license.
Erfman also said he didn't knw
if selling or renting someone
else's property would be un­ethical
because the realtor would
be representing a client and not
himself.
Ordinance began by 'prohibiting students'
By Dave York
Plainsman Staffwriter
Zoning in Auburn has recently surfaced as
a controversial topic once again, continuing
a trend of recent years of zoning problems
that occasionally fade from the spotlight but
never cease to affect students.
In an early ordinance the Auburn City
Council drafted in the '50s, was a statement
that "just straight out prohibited students
living in certain areas,'' said Clyde Prather,
City Planning Commission member.
Prather was on the City Planning Com­mission
for seven years until 1974 and was
recently reinstated.
"Auburn had bits and pieces, the begin­nings
of an ordinance. They had taken a draft
based on legislation the state had, but there
were a number of things required by the
federal government the original ordinance
did not have, so we had to go out and hire
consultants," said Prather.
' 'The federal government said any munici­pality
applying for community development
funds had to have a master plan and
subdivision regulations," said Prather.
Consultants from Atlanta made a master
plan in 1967, and after a one-year study,
zoning changes were made in '68.
In '71, more zoning changes were made.
"Mainly because of alot of problems created
since the '68 ordinance was written," said
Prather. "We found it didn't work because
somebody would get transferred out of
Auburn, and the only way they could occupy
their house was to rent it out to a number of
students. It was their belief at the time that
the way it (the '68 ordinance) was written
was too general to be something you could
enforce."
commission approves condominium construction
Another consulting firm was then called in
from Montgomery. The present wording,
adopted Dec. 7,1971, contained a restriction
not in the '68 ordinance. In section 601.3, the
ordinance prohibited students from living in
certain zones because they are not related by
blood, marriage or adoption to home­owners.
Ruth Speake, former City Planning
Commission member on the board in '71,
explained the addition of section 501.3 to the
'68 ordinance, "It was put in there (so we
could) have a harmonious neighborhood to
live in. When a case comes to light, it's
usually because the students were dis­ruptive
in the neighborhood," she said.
Cleveland Adams, chairman of the Street
Committee since '62, said, "In '71, we had to
consider a lot of things, and one of them was
the density of traffic. You have to be sure you
don't increase the traffic where it could be a
hazard. Our job is to try to do the right thing
for the developer and the citizens, to see it
from an unbiased view."
Herbert Benson, a member of the City
Planning Commission from the 1940s
through 1980, said, "The people have a right
to live in a quiet neighborhood. And a man's
got a right to be protected when he buys a
house, tobe protected sohe won't be crowded
in. I would hate for the house next to mine to
have 12 cars. That would leave 10 on the
street, which would create a traffic problem.
That is what my feelings were of the intent
whenit(section501.3)wasoriginallyputln."
"Moores Mill Road was the first that
started giving us trouble. Everyone wanted
to split up the lots. He would buy a large lot,
about 400 feet, and then subdivide. If you had
a deed on one of those lots, you would see they
had been subdivided into two lots and
sometimes three. I always was against
that," Benson added.
In 1974, a zoning ordinance similar to
section 501.3 was upheld in the U.S. Supreme
Court. After the owners of a house in Belle
Terre, N. Y., leaseditto six unrelated college
students, they were cited for violating the
ordinance. Their appeal to the courts was to
have the ordinance declared unconstitu­tional
in violation of equal protection and the
rights of association, travel and privacy.
However, the district court held the
ordinance constitutional.
Fouryears later, in March'78,Bob Burton,
SGA director of off-campus housing,
petitioned for an amendment to section 501.3.
The City Planning Commission rejected the
petition.
The 1981 Clark Boardman Company
Zoning and Planning Law Handbook states,
"In Belle Terre, the ordinance specifically
allowed two unrelated persons to reside
together,'" and the case for requiring a
minimum of two unrelated persons was a
strong one, in that: (1) two unrelated
persons, as opposed to a group of unrelated
persons, do not pose so much of a threat or
disturbance to the prevailing 'family'
characteristics of a neighborhood; (2) the
claims of a need of companionship or
housekeeping assistance are greater for a
single individual, particularly if elderly;
and (3) greater rights of domestic privacy
are implicated in the relationship of two
individuals than in that of a group."
Referring to the planning commission's
1971 comprehensive planning, committee
chairman Adams said, "The long range
planning was designed so it would be updated
every five years, but ours hasn't been
updated. It was written 10 years ago. What
looked best 10 years ago doesn't look best
anymore."

esidents of Cloverleaf subdivision in
th Auburn are angry because plans for a
dominium on 5.6 acres south of Kimberly
ve could mean a zoning change in their
perty, a deterioration of property values,
reased traffic hazards and a conversion
le condominiums into rental property if
don't sell.
fewsweek reported college students in1*
parts of the country have been struck by
ndomania,'' and residents are concerned
zoning change will mean students will
n be living in their neighborhoods.
espite the pleas of Cloverleaf residents,
City Planning Commission in a 7-1 vote
>mmended approval of the rezoningDec.
Council president Denson Lipscomb, a
dent of Cloverleaf, said from the
uments he has seen, Bailey is within his
its to build on the property, although he
the issue was "really a matter of
lion."
ipscomb said a committee meeting
Id probably be called to discuss the
trovers;al rezoning request before the
ncil votes on the issue. A majority vote Is
ded to pass the proposal.
"he land is part of a 109-acre tract where
ley developed Cloverleaf in the late 1980s.
icorporates Ferndale, Kimberly and Lee
res. Manv of the residents opposing
rezoning had bought their property from the
developer.
Bill Ledbetter, a resident of the subdivi­sion,
said at the meeting the bottom line was
whether the council would abide by the
wishes of more than 100 residents or those of
the developer.
When the subdivision was sold to Bailey by
Veryl Emrick in the early 1960s, it was
designated as an R-100 zone, a single-family
residential zone. The area would have to be
changed to a GD-H zone, a group develop­ment
housing zone, before six buildings
housing 42 condominiums can be con­structed
on the land.
Ellen Ball, 1212 Ferndale Drive, said
rezoning the land would set a precedent for
other rezonings in the Cloverleaf area. She
said the owners of the R-100 zoned land
adjacent to Bailey's land are waiting to see
what happens in this case.
' 'A change in zoning could open the way for
them to build apartments. We've protested
rezoning our land could depreciate its value.
They've not argued us on that point," she
•aid.
The developer presented alistof people he
said supported the project and said he owns.
40 lots in Cloverleaf and would not do
anything to reduce the value of the property
there.
Bailey and the residents are split over
whether or not the 5.6 acres is part of
Cloverleaf. Residents charged it is part of
the subdivision and is covered by covenants
prohibiting group development. But Bailey
noted the contested property was not
includedin the plans when he obtained city
approval for the subdivision in the late 1960s.
Bob Whittenderg, 434 Kimberly Drive,
said he bought his property in Cloverleaf
because of the restrictive covenants and
those covenants should also apply to the
adjoining land owned by the developer.
Bailey's wife explained the 109 acres are
owned by Cloverleaf Development Com­pany,
and when the land was subdivided, the
5.6 acres were not included.
She said although the land will be zoned
GD-H, Bailey intends to keep the same
restrictions as on R-100 zones.
Under R-100 restrictions, students will not
be permitted to lease the condominiums.
"The housing will be for single, more
mature people and young professionals who
don't want a big yard to maintain. We're not
catering to families with children. We want
this case decided on the facts and good
planning," she said.
"Emrick knew we were developers and
builders when he accepted our bid for the
land over the other bids made, "Bailey said.
Emrick contends a sales agreement
clause restricting the property to-single-family
use prohibits the development.
Bailey said he is confident of finding
buyers for the $75,000-$125,000 condo-minimums,
to be built in stages, and does not
think buyers would pay that much to turn the
property into rental units.

Honors program out of tune?
Other schools have overcome similar problems
By Monlque VanLandingham
Assistant Features Editor
Auburn University's age: 125
years.
Age of Auburn's honors program:
2 years.
Comparatively, Auburn's honors
program is but a babe In the woods,
because a lack of funds has pre­vented
the program from getting off
the ground.
However, other state universities
have been faced with the same
proration problems but have man­aged
to develop extensive honors
programs.
The University of Alabama, for
instance, has had a program for 20
years and boasts an exchange
system for its honor students.
University of South Alabama,
also, establishedanhonorsprogram
in 1972, one that continues to
iexpand.
;Both University of Alabama and
University of South Alabama bud-gettheirprograms
through univers­ity
funds in contrast to Auburn,
which provides no financial support
for its program.
Despite Auburn's total lack of
funds, however, dedicated students,
faculty members and admini­strators
have managed to form an
honors program which was ex­tended
from the School of Arts and
Sciences to the entire University
this year, says Dean Calne Camp­bell,
director of the fledgling pro­gram.
The long, tedious process of
establishing a program began 10
years ago when an Auburn self-study
evaluation recommended an
honors program be initiated.
Campbell says a committee
formed to investigate starting an
honors program determined its cost
to be~$300,000, which proved to be an
unfeasible sum for the already
under funded Auburn University .'•
Further pressure to found an
honors program came when the
University sought a Phi Beta Kappa
chaper, the oldest national hono­rary,
and was refused by it. One
reason for rejection of the nonorary
was the University's obvious lack of
an organized honors program,
Campbell says.
It was Auburn University Rhodes
Scholar Susan Karamanlan, Camp­bell
says, who took Initiative In
"generating a student movement
which led directly" to Hobbs'
request an honors program be
established.
Campbell says he found pro­fessors
willing to assume the extra
responsibilities of teaching honors
courses despite their already over­loaded
schedule.
The first honors class, limited to
arts Arts and Sciences, was born
when 15 incoming freshmen were
invited to join the program in 1070.
Now the infant system faces anew
challenge as its initial participants
prepare to enter Its final phase,
independent study.
Having completed her first two
years in the honors program .Nancy '
Wingo, an English major says she
finds the small classes allow more '
discussion and interaction. "I think
I've gotten a broader education,"
she says, adding the structure of the
program exposes students to
material they wouldn't ordinarily
have time for.
Another member of the first*
honors class, Drew Warman, agrees
the small classes were helpful and
adds, "With only about 12 people in
the classes, it was real convenient.
We all got to be friends, and It's
much easier to discuss or disagree
with a friend.
' 'That there is no scholarship with
the program is disappointing," says
Warman. "Even a token scholar­ship
would be good Incentive."
The program thus far has proven
beneficial, Warman says. "All the
professors were excellent choices"
he says, describing the program as
having a "personal touch • "
Wingo, too, says "I've never feltl
like anumber. I made a lot of friends i
through the program. We all have
different interests and can ex­change
ideas, which has been a
great benefit."
Campbell says the program's
greatest advantage to students Is
"learning and Inspiring one
another" in what he describes as
"an extraordinary camaraderie."
Three Inadequacies that exist In
the program are the lack of scholar­ships,
the administrative cost and
the problem of faculty overload,
Campbell says.
' 'Much more needs to be done for
honorstudents,"headds, "butit can
only be done when funded."

UPC lands Ford lecture, visit scheduled for April 4
Ted Colquett
Plainsman Staffwriter
Former President Gerald Ft. Ford
will be in Auburn April 4 to address
students and faculty, Horizons
director Stacey Hader announced
last week.
"He only does a few college
lectures each year in additon to his
lectures to private groups, so we
were fortunate to get him to come to
Auburn," Hader said. "Also, his fee
is $6,000 less than he would charge a
private group."
Hader said it took four days of
intense phone calls last quarter to
make arrangements for Ford's
visit. She said his name had been
mentioned before in committee
meetings, but no action was taken
until it was apparent he would be
available.
Hader stressed tickets for the
Memorial Coliseum lecture will not
be reserved. "The ticket will just
guarantee a seat among 9,000 we
plan to have open.
"Students will get first choice of
tickets when they are released after
spring break," Hader said. "Their
tickets will be free because they've
already paid for them through
activity fees."
Jack Ford, the former president's
middle son, will accompany his
father from New York to Auburn
and will answer questions with his
father following the lecture.
Ford's Secret Service entourage
will come to Auburn the week
preceding his arrival to work out
security arrangements for his stay.
Ford is the only President to reach
office without having won a national
election. He succeeded Richard
Nixon who resigned under pressure
Aug. 9,1974.
"I assume the presidency under-extraordinary

State Senate to consider
education appropriations
Alabama's Senate will consider
again today a $1.4 billion education
appropriations bill that includes a
proposed $71.89 million for Auburn
University.
That figure, which would repre­sent
a 14.4 percent increase in
funding for the present fiscal year,
includes $45.13 million for the
Auburn campus, $8.65 million for the
Agriculture Experiment Station,
$10.77 million for the Cooperative
Extension Service and $7.34 million
for the Montgomery campus.
The bill could have been voted on
Tuesday, but adding and subtract­ing
a number of amendments
slowed the process.
In the House of Representatives
Tuesday, the Alabama Education
Association almost won passage of
an additional 2 percent pay raise
that would have been tacked to Gov.
Fob James' 14 percent raise pro­posal.
That raise would be in
salaries of teachers in kindergarten
through 12th grade.
A proposal by the governor to
make the Alabama Commission on
Higher Education a constitutional
body remained under consideration
in the Senate Education Committee
and the House Ways and Means
Committee.

before experienced by Americans,''
Ford said after his swearing-in.
"This is an hour of history that
troubles our minds and hurts our
hearts."
Ford was born in Omaha, Neb.,
and moved to Grand Rapids, Mich.,
with his mother at a young age. He
graduated from the University of
Michigan, where he was a member
of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity
with degrees in political science and
economics.
He graduated from Yale law
school in 1941 and returned to Grand
Rapids to begin a law practice with
Phil Buchen, later an adviser to
Ford as president.
After serving in the Navy during
World War II, Ford was discharged
at the rank of lieutenant com­mander
and was elected to the
House of Representatives.
Although Ford had decided to
retire from Congress in 1977, he
became vice president in 1973 after
Spiro Agnew's resignation.
As president, Ford described
himself as conservative on eco­nomic
policy, moderate on domestic
policy and liberal on foreign policy.
He tried to relieve inflation
through spending cuts, a prudent
monetary policy and restraint over
wage and price increases.
After winning the Republican
presidential nomination over Ron­ald
Reagan in a close battle, Ford
lost the general election to Demo­crat
Jimmy Carter in 1976.
Upon leaving the White House,
Ford moved to Palm Springs, Calif.,
where he now lives. He declined the
vice-presidential nomination along­side
his former adversary, Ronald
Reagan, in 1980.
Ford now serves on the board of
directors of several major corpora­tions

A-10 The Auburn Plainsman Thursday, Fdmy 4,1982
Experiment station useful to state's farmers
By Diane Wilson
Plainsman Staffwriter
When Alabama farmers have a
problem, they consult the Alabama
Cooperative Extension Service.
When the extension service has a
problem, it turns to the Agricultural
Experiment Station.
The main Agricultural Experi­ment
Station is in Auburn and
handles experimental programs in
aquaculture as well as agriculture,
said director Gale. A. Buchanan.
There are also 22 substations
across the state which concentrate
on a major soil type in addition to
animal research, he said.
The major research facility has
been halfway between Auburn and
Montgomery, in Shorter, since 1975,
said Stanley Wilson, agriculture
vice president.
The rapid growth of the Univer­sity
and size of available facilities
made the move necessary, Wilson
said.
In 1980, the experiment station
received slightly more than 10
percent, or $6,812,184, of the state
appropriations to Auburn's main
campus. It also received $3,026,839
from the federal government and
about $3,030,173 from grants. Sales
of experimental animals and crops
brought $3,329,529 in 1980 for a total
of $16,197,675.
Auburn's aquaculture unit is one
of the most extensive in the world,
Buchanan said, and is divided into
two parts.
The international research pro­gram
has stations in 25 countries
around the world. International
research focuses on breeding, nutri­tion,
production and marketing, as
well as other aspects of the fishery
industry.
The domestic teaching research
program studies mostly catfish.
Research is also done on sport
fishing.
The extension and experimental
program will celebrate its 100th
birthday next year, Buchanan said.
The extension program started in
the 1880s. The experimental pro­gram
began in the early 1900s.
One of the ways the department
hopes to celebrate is by publishing a
history of the experimental station,
he added.

two-man committee, said, "I don't
feel in my heart and from my
experience at Auburn University
that we should be a voluntary
accessory to groups such as this.
"I realize that constitutionality is
involved here, but the courts are the
place for constitutionality to be
decided -
"The real basic fundamental
thing to do here is what is best for the
students. Regardless of whether or
not they eventually are allowed on
campus, I don't want to endorse
them," he added.
The committee cited a number of
court decisions indicating that if
CARP should decide to bring its case
to court, it would win. '
Jim Shelton, the other member of
the committee, said "The basic
underlying thread of thought behind
the court decisions is that you cannot
stifle the distribution of materials
based on the content of that
material.
"What we can do," said Shelton,
"is that we can regulate the time,
place and manner of the distribution
of materials."
Davis added that the senate can
regulate in this' way only to the end
that distribution will not interfere
with academic pursuits.
Dissenting senators argued that
to approve CARP's application did
not constitute an endorsement of the
group or its activities.
"I'm opposed to them, but I can't
see voting against this, because I
think they should have the right to
expose their views, '\_ one senator
said.' *We must protect minorities.
' 'Why pass something that will be
overturned in the courts and give
them the publicity?" he added. .
Another senator agreed, saying
he was morally opposed to CARP,
but "as it stands now, the four-member
team that they have now
poses no great threat. If they win in
the courts, it will lend them more
credibility and make them strong­er,"
he warned.
Hargrove added,' 'I have no doubt
that through the courts they will be
able to distribute their materials,
butl wantthe policy setthatwe don't
endorse them."
CARP representatives did not
attend the meeting.
Five senators were not present to
vote on the issue. • ,
