Council passes beer tax,
tables noise ordinance
By Steve Farish
Editor
The Auburn City Council tabled a
proposed noise ordinance and pas­sed
a two-cent-per-container beer
tax in its regular meeting Tuesday
night.
Almost 200 students, who applaud­ed
loudly for speakers against the
proposals, attended the meeting.
A 15-minute protest march before
the meeting from Langdon Hall to
the police building council room was
organized by an independent group
of students. About 170 students
participated in the march, carrying
signs and shouting slogans against
the proposals.
Walter McCarUe, one of the
organizers of the march, said he was
"surprised" at the turnout."We had
only about 10 people standing
around about 15 minutes before the
march began," he said.
Along the route, other students
joined the two-by-two marchers,
who had received both a permit
from the city for the march and a
police escort.
The noise control ordinance,
proposed by Councilman Gail Mc-
Alister, would have put a 60-decibel
limit on most noise in residentially-zoned
areas. Violators of the law
would have to be subject to a $300
fine or 30 days in jail.
A host of students and towns­people
rose at the meeting to speak
on the proposal.
"We are here because we are
concerned students," said Scott
Holloway, one of the organizers of
the protest march.' 'But I know what
60 decibels is, and I'm talking way
above that now."
Peter . Riley, Interfraternity
Council president, said fraternity
presidents voted Sunday night to
' 'unanimously oppose the ordinance
as such. We can handle ourselves
in measures that do not require an
ordinance," by "strengthening the
disturbing the peace laws."
"(Police chief) Harding can tell
you they can enforce a disturbing
the peace ordinance," added Barry
Mask, president of Phi Kappa Tau
fraternity.
Mary Lang presented the council
with a petition which she said
contained 245 residents' signatures
who favored the ordinance.
Lang said she feared property
values would decline near fraternity
houses with loud parties. But she
said, "Fraternities are not the only
noisemakers."
Romaine Stein complained, "I
cannot sit in my living room at
certain times of the day or night and
hear my television.
"There is nothing substantial the
police can do... to quiet noise now,
she said.
Not all permanent residents spoke
for the ordinance, though.
I am somewhat appalled that
some people fail to see students are
the lifeblood of this town," said
George Ribas, who encouraged
dropping the ordinance.
Councilmember Jim Quillen said
that "most of the old-timers with
whom I associate were horrified by
this" proposal.

CARP: the faces behind the controversy
By Robin Wilkes
Plainsman Staffwriter
The little room was warm with the heat of an August
afternoon. Sounds of birds and passing traffic drifted in
through the open windows as an electric fan droned in the
corner. Seated in the room were four Unification church
members.the mysterious "Moonies" that have received so
much attention since their arrival in June.
They did not fit the usual sterotypes nor did they have the
appearance of people who sell flowers on streetcorners. They
were four people in their early twenties, two men and two
women, intent, ontheir discussion and a little uncomfortable in
the heat.
. Gaeton and Kerizo did most of the talking while Pam
listened quietly from her spot on the floor. Carmen closed her
eyes and seemed to doze as she stretched out in a battered old
recliner. There was nothing threatening or frightening
apparent in these four people, who had received an amazing
amount of comment and controversy because of their
presence in Auburn.
Gaeton, Kenzo, Pam and Carmen are all members of
CARP, a group supported by the controversial Unification
Church. The church has encountered scrutiny and criticism
because of charges that its leader, Rev. Sun Myung Moon,
believes himself to be a messiah, and that young converts are
brainwashed into selling candy and flowers to raise funds.
In 1977, the Unification Church encountered serious
opposition in Alabama when it bought fishing boats and went
into business for itself in Bayou le Batre.
CARP, initials for the CoUegiate Association for the
Research of Principles, calls itself a student group dedicated
to fighting Communism, and as Gaeton explains, for
promoting understanding between races.
Kenzo Endo, the unofficial leader of the Auburn CARP
center, explains their group tries "to bring new morals into
society, especially among young people."
Why would anyone come to fight Communism in

called a 'bargain deal'
Students say group misrepresented by members

By Robin Wilkes
Plainsman Staffwriter
Two Auburn University coeds say representa­tives
from the Unification Church, identifying
themselves as members of a group called CARP,
were less than "up front'' in stating their identity
during an encounter.
CARP, the Collegiate Association of Research
of Principles, is a branch of the Unification
Church. It recently sent four of its members to
Auburn to begin the operation of a CARP center.
Lynn, a senior in business, says she first met
the CARP members while she was studying on a
bench. "Theysaidthey were new students," says
Lynn, "and they asked me if there was any kind of
meeting place where people got together to talk
about religion. I suggested they try Foy Union,
and then they said, 'Actually, we're not students,
we're from CARP.'
' 'I knew what CARP was, so when they started
talking to me, I just got up and walked away."
Gigi, a junior in public relations-speech, met
one of the CARP members as he was going door to
door.
"Somebody rang the doorbell, and it was
Kenzo (Endo). I invited him in and he asked me to
buy one of the prints." CARP members
sometimes sell prints to raise funds.
"I asked him what it was for, and he said
something like, 'an international student group.'
He told me they had discussions and that this
group was new to the U.S. He said they discussed
things like, 'What is the meaning of life?' I
thought it was pretty neat that these people got
together to talk, but still, it kind of hit me funny.''
Gigi says she was told the group was starting a
series of lectures and she went the next day.
"There was no mention of Rev. Moon or the
Unification Church," saysGigi. "Ihadnoideaat
all what it was all about until about a week later.''
Gigi says she found when she arrived that,
besides the four members, she was the only one
who had arrived to hear the lecture. She says they
talked for several hours.
"He (Endo) told me all the logical reasons for
what they believed. But he never mentioned the
church."
Gigi says that what she
had heard made her curious, and they told her
she could attend a seminar in Atlanta. It would
cost $20 and they would give her a ride in their
van, they told her.
"The whole time I was thinking, "There's no
wayl'mspendlng$20onsomethinglhave no idea
about.*"
Gigi explained she would be going home for a
weekend, and that she would ask her parents
about going to the seminar. Gigi says, "They
didn't seem to like that. They asked me if I
thought it was a good idea to be so close to my
family now that I was in college. The innuendo
was definitely there."
After that first evening, Gigi says she was
invited back, but decided not to go. The next day
she says she found a gift wrapped card and print
from Endo. "It was a nice gesture, but it could
have meant something else entirely," relates
Gigi. "It scared me a lot."

University officials have called
the new lighting and walkways
improvements in Haley Center park
a bargain deal at $43,000.
Rhett Riley, University business
manager said the park was con­structed
at almost half the usual
expenses of such a project.
Riley estimated lighting costs for
the park were $15 to $17,000, and
plants and shrubbery cost $5,0PO tn
$6,000, The remainder was split
between labor and other material
costs.
Funding for the project was
earmarked from 1979-80 budget
allocations for the physical plant, he
said.
Paul Kearney, physical plant
director, said expenses were re­duced
in several ways. Labor costs
were lower because physical plant
employees worked in all phases of
the project, and since the project
was not contracted out to a private
firm, no bonds or cost estimations
were required.
George Shorter, a Mobile land­scape
architect who drew the
original conceptualization for the
park, said these factors saved the
University "several thousands of
dollars." Shorter estimated the
University saved 20 to 30 percent in
laborcostsbyusing employee labor.
Stamped concrete was used in the
place of originally planned brick
walks to lower materials expenses.
Riley said brick would have cost
about twice the amount of the
concrete.
Plans for the park were drawn up
four or five years ago, but weren't
approved until before the 1979-80
budget was composed, Riley said.
University planner William
Guarin said his department did not
have anything to do with the pro ject,
and all plans went through the
physical plant. "The organizational
set-up is such that he (Kearney)
does not have to go through my of fice
for approval."
Kearney said the park expenses
were justified because' 'to build this
park is a one-shot deal. We don't
have to pay any more expenses on it
next year. It's not a recurring
expense.
"We had had problems in that
area not only with lighting, but with
drainage...rains were washing
down on Haley Center mall and the
walks were in terrible shape," he
said.
"We had a tremendous problem
with water down there...it was a
dangerous area," Riley said.
"There was also the problem of
asthetics. It just didn't look very
nice for such a well-traveled area."
The area h*d beer, given higBejrt
priority for improvements in a
survey of campus lighting re­searched
by industrial engineering
students last year.
"I think you have to do for all
areas...I don't think we can totally
ignore physical layout," Riley said.
' 'The park did not take any money
from the library,'' he said.' 'It would
have gone from plant fund acti­vities.
"I've asked the director of the
physical plant to put together a
priorities list for not only the
grounds, but the buildings, too,"
Riley said. "We need to add
sidewalks in some places...it is
unsafe. The University must do
some things...we will continue to
look at our need for lighting on
campus.
"The project took us longer this
summer than we had counted on,"
Kearney said. "Some days we only
had a few men working there
because we had to pull some off to
work at other places."
Riley said several men were taken
off the construction site when the
phone company cut into some
underground lines on campus while
installing new pay phones. He said
delays did not increase construction
costs, though.
A shortage of workers at the plant
also hurt progress on the park this
summer.' 'I think we have 80 people
short in the physical plant right
now," Riley said.
Shorter said few work crews could
have constructed a park of that size.

Money from Cates bill eases proration effects
By Virginia Martin
Assistant News Editor
Some of the money which Univer­sity
departments were forced to
give up last yearbecauseorproration
is now being given back to deans and
department heads because of a bill
passed in the Legislature in March.
Auburn University will receive
almost $3 million this week because
proration has been reduced from 10
percent to 3.57 percent, according to
Dr. Michael Hogan, assistant
finance director.
Dan Holsenbeck, director of Uni­versity
relations for Auburn's
liaison to the Legislature, said this
money will "fold into" the overall
University budget, where he said it
should reduce the total effects of
proration throughout the Univer­sity.
Alabama school systems were
prorated 10 percent (or their ap­propriated
funds were cut by 10
percent at mid-year) when the state
finance director's office decided
there would be less tax money
coming into the Alabama Special
Education Trust Fund than original­ly
anticipated.
Hogan said tiiat almost $66 mil­lion
was added to the ASETF
because of the passage of a bill
sponsored by Rep. Eric Cates of
Greenville which required busi­nesses
to pay in-state income taxes
on a monthly basis rather than a
quarterly one.
The bill provided that revenues
from the months of August and
September go into the 1980-81 fiscal
year rather than the 1981-82 year, as
had previously been the case, he
explained.
This change resulted in prorauon
of 3.57 percent rather than the
original 10 percent. It also means
that the University has received an
unexpected and much needed boost
to its budget to aid in reducing the
amount of money lost to proration,
Holsenbeck said.
Auburn receives 4.5 percent of the
total ASETF. Appropriations for
1981 included $2.8 million for the
main campus, $566,007 for the
cooperative extension service,
$533,847 for the agriculture experi­ment
station and $430,037 for Auburn
University at Montgomery for a
total of $4.3 million.
Holsenbeck said that when the
University was informed of prora­tion,
departments were asked to cut

Year's priorities outlined by senate
By Ashley Jenkins
Plainsman Staffwriter
A draft report of priority recom­mendations
for Auburn University
was presented by the Priorities and
Planning Committee at a hearing
sponsored Wednesday night by the
Auburn University Senate.
The committee presented the
draftasa near term plan for Auburn
University which will emphasize
curriculum planning for the next
three to five years.
President Hanly Funderburk and
several department heads
commented on the committee's
efforts to establish the University's
responsibilities in undergraduate
education, graduate and profession­al
education, research and ex­tension.
Department representa­tives
were allocated 10 minutes to
speak about how they felt about the
ratings given their departments.
John Kuykendall, chairman of the
University Senate, presided over
and opened the hearing.
Paul Parks, vice president and
chairman of the Committee on
Priorities and Planning, then gave
the background of the draft report.
Parks said, "This draft is the initial
phase of the priorities of the
University and should serve as a
guideline for future planning. It is
the first step to be molded by the
faculty. We are here to listen to any
recommendations or criticisms."
Funderburk then implemented
the priority recommendations.
Funderburk said, "Time is im­portant,
but input even more so. We
are not going to have funds in the 80s
like we did in the 60s and 70s. In
setting our priorities and planning,
we will come out better than if we sit
back."
John Heilman, associate pro­fessor
of political science, spoke for
the political science department.
Heilman said, "We agree with the
committee view that the priorities
should be near term rather than long
range. We hope the committee will
iron out its inconsistencies and give
the social sciences special empha­sis,
which it states it will in the first
of the draft, but in actuality never
does."
Arthur Wilke, associate professor
of sociology, then spoke for the
sociology department. Wilke said,
"The sociology department was
given a C- rating. The department
has been highly productive under
less than desirable conditions with
little encouragement. Good
colleagues can bring good things to
the University."
Rolf Aadland, assistant professor
of geology, presented the views of
his department. "The faculty of the
department of geology challenges
thepresentCrating. Our program is
unique. Our faculty is relatively
young but is high in quality and has
been recognized as such," said
Aadland.
Marilyn Powell, assistant pro­fessor
of theatre, gave her depart­ment's
presentation. "There is a
basic need for the fine arts to
liberalize the education of all
students," she said. "Fine arts are
not included in the general edu­cation.
Fine arts should be required
as part of the general curriculum.''
Field narrows for dean post
By Matt Lamere
Assistant News Editor
The search for a new dean for the
School of Engineering has made
some definite progress. Dr. Taylor
Littleton, vice president for aca­demic
affairs said, "We have
completed the review of the five
finalists as of last Friday."
"One candidate will return this
week for a second visit, and we are
pursuing further conversations with
another," Littleton said.
Littleton said the search com­mittee
responsible for selecting the
tie w dean is making good progress in
the search and "we are down to a
couple of candidates."
Littleton would not disclose the
names of these candidates.
The five finalists for the post are:
Demetrius T. Paris, an electrical
engineering professor and director
of electrical engineering at Gerogia
Tech; Lynn E. Weaver, a nuclear
• ngineer and director of nuclear
engineering at Georgia Tech;
Robert B. Grieves, chemical engi­neering
professor at the University
of Kentucky; Charles Polk, electri­cal
engineering professor at Rhode
Island University and Theo Pilking-ton,
an electrical engineering pro­fessor
at Duke University.
Littleton said, "I hope we will
have a new dean of engineering in
place within this academic year."
Jack Blackburn, dean of the
School of Education, then spoke for
the School of Education. "I
commend the work of the com­mittee,
although in places the draft
alludes to maintaining status quo
with minor reference to the future
role the University assumes.
Auburn University's goal is to
obtain national recognition,"
Blackburn.
Mark E. Meadows, head of the
counselor education department
then spoke for the School of
Counselor Education. "The
counselor education school is a
young one. The Auburn department
is indeed a strong one which
deserves strong support. We were
surprised at the recognition with
nothing other than a C rating," said
Meadows.
William Blakney, associate pro­fessor
of technical services, said,' 'I
felt the report had too many
generalities, a failure in stating
priorities. It needed to identify
specific needs and then examine the
priorities."
Wilke spoke next representing the
AAUP, the American Association of
University Professors. He dis­cussed
the needs of the "tenure and
tenure process, the development of
staffing plans in the area of tenures,
financial exigency and reduction of
faculty workloads." Wilke said, "I
look forward with anticipation to the
next round of deliberations."
Donald Jeane, assistant professor
of geography, then spoke for the
geography department. Jeane said,
' 'We received no rating and were not
adequately recognized. It was pre­sumptuous
of the committee to
make credentials a major issue.
Many feel unfairly judged by their
peers."
Chemistry professor Marshall
Baker said, "There is an inordinate
amount of emphasis on graduate
research since instructional re­search
is our intention. If we are to
continue strong undergraduate in­struction,
good instructors must be
shown rewards for teaching, as well
as research."
Lorna Yates spoke next on behalf
of the Ralph Draughon Library, "I
have one request for dealingwith the
library, and that is a program
subcommittee on the library. It is
Auburn's overriding priority to
educate well the larger portion of
our population, the under­graduate,"
said Yates.
Wilke then spoke again repre­senting
the sociology department.
This concluded the departmental
speeches.
Allen Jones, an archivist in the
history department, ended the
hearing with his comments. Jones
said,' 'A compromise is needed. The
report is important, but self-study is
also important. There is some
hostility to this report. It shouldn't
divide the faculty as it appears to
have done. I suggest the Faculty
Senate appoint a new committee to
work with Parks in rewriting the
draft and incorporating the recom­mendations
stated tonight."
The draft included specific re­ference
to requirements to be placed
upon the undergraduate and
graduate studies here at Auburn.
The draft states, "Auburn Univer­sity
has an obligation to offer
broad educational opportunities to
the people of the state and region,
including undergraduate programs
of sufficient breadth and quality to
insure a good general education.
For this reason, we fully subscribe
to the concept of requiring that our
undergraduates complete general
education requirements in English
composition, history, literature,
natural sciences, social sciences,
mathematics and philosophy."
The draft also states, "As re­sources
allow, the University should
continue to develop high quality
master's degree programs in some
of the areas. Existing doctoral
programs of recognized quality in
the arts and humanities should
continue to be supported by the
University."

Second round of Reagan's cuts
may reduce agriculture funding
Almond
directed strictly toward students was tabled. A
two-cent compromise for a tax per can of beer was
settled. The march concluded a three-hour rally
featuring Oakley Hill at the Delta Sigma Phi house.

Plainsman Staffwriter
The second round of President
Reagan's budget cuts may drasti­cally
reduce programs in Auburn's
agricultural experiment station
and the Alabama cooperative ex­tension
service, according to Dr.
Stanley Wilson, vice president of
agriculture, home economics and
veterinary medicine.
Funding from federal sources for'
these two units may not be as much
as expected. Reagan has proposed a
12 percent slash of nearly all
non-defensive domestic activities.
In accordance with this proposal,
Auburn's School of Agriculture has
recommended to the Board of
Trustees "to defer the activation of
salary adjustments for 1982." A
long-awaited hike in salaries had
previously been workedinto the 1982
budget.
Speaking to the School of Agricul­ture
at its Oct. 2 meeting, Wilson
said,' 'We were confident in building
the budget as we did because both
the Senate and the House had
proposed increased monies for re­search."
Research and Extension Services
are both funded entirely from the
special Education Trust Fund, —not
In-patient care reduced at Drake
Seven in-patient rooms have been
f renovated to accommodate mental
^health office space, leaving four
i-rooms, or nine beds of the original 28
I available for in-patient use, Hood
tsaid.
The mental health care facility
rhas been expanded, and a gyneco­logy
clinic, a nutrition clinic, a
^sports medical program and a
•physical therapy facility have been
I established.
The renovations will save money
In the long run, said Dr. Hood,
^Council
because the payroll was reduced in
the in-patient care section and much
expensive equipment no longer
needed was sold.
Hood said the in-patient clinic
averaged only about two patients
per day last spring. When she
studied the blueprints of the build­ing,
Dr. Hood said she discovered
one-third of the building was de­voted
to less than 2 percent of the
patients.
She said considering the third
leading cause of visits to the clinic
last spring was for mental health
reasons, the space could be better
used as a mental health clinic than
for in-patient facilities.
'' Some schools are closing down
their in-patient services altoget­her,"
Hood said, "Emphasis is now
on out-patient services, but we feel
we need some in-patient services."
Hood also said they still have their
"disaster" plans in case there are a
large number of students who need
hospitalization, but this doesn't
happen often in a year.
ThenewGYN (gynecology) clinic
was opened in the smaller office
spaces that used to house the mental
health center.
After the number of hospital beds
was reduced drastically, Hood said
the kitchen space was no longer
necessary. Food services now sup­plies
food for any students staying in
the facility for any length of time.
The kitchen space was converted
to a physical therapy section,
enabling the equipment to be sold.
This section, which is associated
with the new sports medical pro­gram,
began operation in Septem­ber.
• x i
A new nutrition clinic was also
opened this fall. Hood said the main
problem the clinic treats is obesity,
but there are many other nutritional
problems it deals with as well.
"We do have to make changes to
keep up with what's going on," Hood
said. "And the trend now is to cut
back on or do away with in-patient
services."
She added they evaluate records
carefully before they decide what to
change and they are always inter­ested
in adding programs.
Hood said the objective of the
Student Health Center is not as
much to be a hospital as it is to be a
clinic. She said one of the main
objectives is to try to educate
students care for themselves and
get the patients back to class.

the general fund. An estimated
$11.27 million from the agricultural
experimental station and $12.74
million from the cooperative ex­tension
service are expected. The
two units are thus short of fundings
as compared with 1981 by $532,000
from the AES and $530,000 from the
CES. These figures include both
federal and state monies.
With a decrease in funding, salary
raises for researchers will be out of
the question, Wilson said. He added,
however,' 'The ballgame is not over.
When the Federal budget is passed
we will have one of three choices:
(1) If the budget is favorable
(toward educational research fund­ing),
we will go back to the original
budget. (2) If funds are cut—sal­aries
are paid from federal money—
we will try to find the money from
statesources. (3)If there areno new
federal or state funds, the budget
will stand without the salary in­creases."
Wilson said that the budget is
expected to pass by Nov. 20.
The shortage of federal funding
will not only affect the salaries of the
agricultural department, but the
entire research program as well.
Auburn's agricultural research is
competing with schools in other
states such as Mississippi and
Georgia. It takes money to produce
the kind of results necessary to keep
both the research and extension
units alive, he said. J. Michael
Sprott, director of the cooperative
extension service, stated at the
meeting that. Auburn should be
spending $200,000 per year on
equipment, but "for the last three
years only $15,000 per year has been
spent.
"One must also remember that
before salaries and equipment,
$280,000 is paid to the University for
office and payroll work and a
tremendous energy bill that will run
approximately $360,000 this school
year also must be paid.

In conjunction with the tabling of
Nihe ordinance, Council President
Denson Lipscomb appointed an ad
hoc committee to prepare a new
poise proposal. He appointed SGA
President Rip Britton, Riley, Lang,
councilmen McAlister and Alex
!Moore and himself to the com-
Jmittee.
Britton said the formation of the
committee will "allow us to come
together. I would like to see an
ordinance the students can live
with," he said.
Britton said he hoped the com­mittee
would begin to improve
relations between the students and
the City Council.
Passage of the two-cent beer tax
had been almost assured one week
earlierwhenthe council, meeting as
a Committee of the Whole, had voted
to project income from such a tax
into its budget for the fiscal year
1981-82, beginning Oct.l.
Phil Hallen, executive director of
the Alabama Wholesale Beer and
Wine Association, complained that
beer was already the most highly
taxed item in the city.
Because of high taxes, yearly
growth in beer sales has been under
2 percent in the last two years, he
said. In addition, "I don't think it is
fair to levy a tax on a product that is
consumed principally by low-income
people.
"Government is run by people of
affluence; people of affluence do not
buy beer," he said.
Scott Davis claimed the tax
affected the students too much. "If
you have to tax something, tax
something everybody uses," he
said.
Lipscomb said the tax hike was
' 'necessary'' because of the hiring of
new firemen and policemen and the
decision to pay them hazardous duty
pay.

job like that."
• "We know there is a natural
! tendency for people to gather there,
; so we tried to put in 'congregational
spaces' where students could
* gather. We made the walls at a
comfortable height for seating."
Kearney said camillias, azeleas
' and crepe myrtle would be planted
in the areas surrounding the walls
and should be finished by late fall.
Enrollment may
increase by 200
I this fall quarter
With classes well under way now,
enrollment at Auburn University
may increase by some 200 students
over last fall quarter's enrollment of
' 18,603, according to Tom Stallworth,
; registrar.
.
At the end of the seventh day of
classes, 18,558, had paid fees, 153
more students than for the same
period last year.
"Right now it probably looks a
little barren without the plants,"
Shorter said.
The stamped concrete is a new
idea, the architect said, and has not
been used in many projects in the
area.
Kearney said the concrete was
first poured, then stamped in a
pattern similar to bricks and
sprinkled with a brick-toned dust.
He said the concrete is as durable as
regular brick walks.
One problem has already arisen
with the new walks, however.
Several students have tripped when
their shoes have been caught in the
grooves between the imitation
'bricks.'
Coeds have reported that the
grooves between the "bricks" are
just wide enough for a shoe heel to
slip into, though some students have
complained of tripping even when
wearing tennis shoes.
Dr. JudithHood, directorof Drake
Student Health Center, said no
students have yet complained at the
center of injuries incurred on the
new walks.
Stallworth said the increase
has ranged from 100 to 300 more on a
day to day basis than last year, but
has been averaging about 200
overall.
"It appears we'll be up by about
200, but you never can tell until all
| the figures are in," Stallworth said.
| "We do not have a breakdown of
i enrollment patterns yet or where
I the increase is taking place."
Complete enrollment figures will
j be printed as they become avail­s-
able.

*To foster the Auburn Spirit'
Evaluate with caution
It has been no secret that President Hanly
Funderburk and the faculty have been at odds
since his appointment in April of 1980.
Te asions reached the point last spring to which
some faculty members were contemplating
calling for a vote of confidence from the
University Senate. Many predicted Funder­burk
would have been given a vote of
nn-confidence at that time, since there was
quite a bit of faculty unrest concerning his
recent policy and administrative changes,
including the decision to limit out-of-state
enrollment.
These faculty members were appeased by a
plan for a faculty evaluation of the president.
This very evaluation has begun this week.
If the evaluation is to be a success, faculty
must take into account the seriousness of such a
survey. The catalyst bringing about this
evaluation was the administration's failure to
request input from faculty before making
decisions that will affect them. This evaluation
will allow faculty to intelligently rate the
president on his administration's abilities and
to provide input for future decisions.
Faculty should not use such a golden chance
to take "cheap shots " against the president,
especially those of a personal nature.
There is a great responsibility on Funder-burk'spart
to recognize the seriousness of this
survey as well. Faculty departure rate has
almost doubled in the past year. In all
probability that rate will increase if faculty
opinion is not treated with the respect it
deserves.
The evaluation can also be a learning tool for
the president. If Funderburk takes the
evaluation to heart, it could bring about a
better relationship between the faculty and
administration and a more successful uni­versity
for all involved.
Abetter relationship?
A milestone in local history was passed
Tuesday night in the chambers of the Auburn
City Council. Auburn University students and
the council finally agreed on something—that
a proposed noise ordinance that would have
limited most noise to 60 decibels needed more
work.
Council President Densou Lipscomb, who
has in the past made a tangible effort to
improve an adversary student-council relation­ship,
proposed a special committee made up of
three council members, two students and one
permanent resident to rework the ordinance.
Lipscomb said the council had decided to
work more on the ordinance after a session last
Saturday night with a noise specialist.
SGA President Rip Britton, one of the
students on the committee said he hoped the
committee might be a starting point for further
work between the students and the council. He
expressed the hope that after a long time the
relationship could be improved.
We share Britton's hope the committee will
represent a better era in those relations.
One can easily identify one or two council
members who. seem to be antagonistic toward
any views students will bring forth. The others,
though, seem genuinely willing to stop the war
of words.
To accomplish the goal of better relations
give-and-take will have to exist. It is therefore
crucial that the final draft of any noise
ordinance includes the views of the two student
committee members; they should be treated as
integral parts of the committee. .
Better student-council relations rest heavily
on the success of the study committee.
The ill feelings that have existed have greatly
tarnished the image of'' the loveliest village on
the plains" in the eyes of the students.
Now must begin the process of building back
that image.
AU needed wrestling
About this time during anormal year, young
men would normally be strapping on
protective helmets to begin a new practice for
the world's oldest sport—wrestling.
Young men will not be wrestling at Auburn
this year, however. The athletic department
dropped the program in July in an effort to save
money.
Wrestling was arguably the most successful
sport in Auburn's athletic history. The Tigers
have won three Southeastern Conference titles
and 23 Southeastern Invitational Wrestling
Association titles. The 1981 squad ended with
a ninth-place national finish, and two
members were voted Ail-American.
Differences that break out in athletic
departments usually never become public, so
wrestling coach Tom Milkovich's arguments
against the dropping of his program may never
be knowrt.
What is known, though, is that Milkovich
had designed several plans to save his team.
One involved the charging of admission to the
matches, but it was rebuffed every time it was
proposed. Milkovich had even devised a plan
in which Boy Scouts would have been involved
selling tickets, but to no avail.
The coach also had lined up two matches that
would have been shown on a national cable
sports network, apian that would have brought
significant revenue for the entire athletic
department.
By not allowing the charge for admission,
the athletic department seems not to have
made even a passing attempt at increasing
revenue to support wrestling. It simply has
been content to follow the lead of other schools
such as the Universities of Alabama, Florida
and Georgia.
It is probably too late to save Auburn's
wrestling program. Most of its members have
transferred or will transfer to other schools to
pursue the sport. One questions if Milkovich,
surely one of the most sought-after wrestling
i coaches in the land, will remain here long.
This time when wrestling practice should be
beginning should not pass without comment
on a poor decision and a sad good bye to the one
athletic team that promised excellence every
day and delivered it.

Needed for West: moral absolutes
' "Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all
terror, victory however long and hard the road
may be, for without victory there is no survival."
The words are Winston Churchill's. He
delivered them in his first speech as Prime
Minister before the House of Commons to
muster the strength of the Commonwealth for
the Battle of Britain.
Look at the words again..., "victory at all
costs...victory however long and hard the road
may be."
The words sound strange because they are
rarely heard today. We are not asked in the West
to make life and death commitments anymore;
we have approached the point where we would
probably not respond if we were asked.
We suffer from a sense of moral paralysis. We
have become disdainful of those ..who hold
fervently to any set of ideals.
William F. Buckley's experiences in college,
detailed in "God and Man at Yale," reflect the
typical moral dilemma of the university student.
Armed with a set of values, Christian on the
moral level and individualistic on the social and
economic levels, Buckley found his traditional
beliefs challenged as never before. He was
strengthened by the challenge; as a result, he
became one of the great conservative spokes­men
of our times.
Most college students' values are not as strong

Farish

as Buckley's; the result is a withering of absolute
beliefs and a loss of a clear sense of wrong-right
and good-bad.
Armed with no overriding philosophy, the
graduate contributes his sense of relativism to
the activities of his culture.
He frets in the United States over whether we
are the "good guys" or the "bad guys." Lost is his
sense that the American form of government
and economics is the most conducive to freedom
in the history of the world. He has lost the sense
that we must fight and perhaps die to protect for
posterity that same government and economy.
The college students who grew up with
Buckley now run the country. All too often, as
Soviet author Alexander SoLzhenitsyn correctly
accuses, they suffer from "moral impotence."
Solzhenitsyn said this "impotence" manifests
itself most clearly in our refusal to stand up to the
Soviet Union, the greatest menace again.'
humankind since the 'terror" of the Nazis abo^
which Churchill spoke of.
But this impotence manifests itself also in tl
inability tomake moral judgmentsand to qualii
actions as "right" and "wrong."
We are tangled in the relativistic web ths
condones indecision because "one action' is i
morally good as another." We have sadly lost tl

Billiard Hall girls treated badly
They (with an upper-case "T") refers more
often than not to Auburn student housing this
fall. Complaints against "them" are more
prevalant than cries of "War Eagle."
They have made more than Their share of
mistakes recently with the students always
serving as handy scapegoats. The most woefully
abused of those who suffer at Their hands are the
Alumni Hall refugees. The girls who lived in
Alumni last year were informed that they could
not return to their dorm fall quarter after they
had expressed their wishes (in writing) to do so.
The girls were then subjected to a barrage of
brilliant propaganda by the Housing authorities.
They were told of the miraculous transformation
of Bullard Hall which was to take place during
the summer. After its conversion to a female
dorm, it was to include a television room,
remodeled bathrooms, renovated rooms, etc.
This influence led the girls to sign nine-month
leases for rooms.
When the girls returned to Auburn this Fall,
they found themselves huddled side by side in
showers that have transparent, if any, partitions
(they had specifically requested opaque one ),
clogged drains, nonfunctioning sinks, filthy halls
and bathrooms, broken or missing screens,
severe shortages of furniture and other
inconveniences too numerous to mention.
Because of their contracts, the girls could not
escape without paying the full rent for three
quarters.
I was asked to be a DA (Dorm Assistant) in my
division. That means that, because I am an
upperclassman, I am responsible for helping the
freshman move into Bullard.
It was my duty to comfort (as best I could) the
distraught mothers, weeping daughters and
irrate fathers who met the shock of seeing
Bullard Hall for the first time this fall. They Tiad
received letters from Housing telling of a newly
remodeled dorm and were unprepared to face
the reality of its dilapidation. '-
I have continued my service as a DA by
making and hanging posters and signs, handing
out literature, answering questions, cleaning
out sinks and fixing blown fuses. The work is
similar to that of an RA with one major
difference. Housing "can't afford" to pay DA's.
in short I am Their slave.
As a DA I have had an opportunity to hear the
opinions of residents and listen to their views.
Although the girls are wonderfully adaptive and
co-operative, they feel slighted. Those Who v^ere'
Torced from Alumni long for last year's home.
They would like to have some recourse or
consolation. " •
Unfortunately, their pleas, muffled by red
tape and stifled by "The System," go unheard.
TV gives false view of businessmen
^ S «r.,it horn nnlitirians usually come off
"See the dastard. Hiss at him! See the dolt.
Hoot at him. They're both businessmen, TV
variety." ' .
When the Moral Majority set about earlier
this year to monitor television, the hoots and
*howls from newspaper columnists, Hollywood
and Broadway were so loud the Moral
Majoritarians were forced to retreat .failing to
implement the boycotts they had planned for
shows with too much violence and sex.
Though the Moral Majoritarians failed to
enact their boycott, at least one other
organization has had its eye on the three major
networks—The Media Institute.
And even though that organization does not
delve into sex and violence studies, it does plead,
the cause for a group of people much maligned by
most media and downright abused by television.
As you may have guessed by the opening quote
from a United Technologies advertisement on
the institute's study, that group is American
businessmen.
In its study, "Crooks, Conmen and Clowns:
Businessmen in TV Entertainment," the
Washington-based institute watched 200 epi­sodes
from television's top 50 shows on the three
major networks.
The results may or may not be all that
surprising. "Sixty-seven percent (of the busi­nessmen
in these shows) are portrayed in a
negative manner—as criminals, fools or greedy
or malevolent egotists—while only 25 percent
are shown in a positive light." »
From the report, we also learn that while 45
percent of all business activity is illicit, only 3
percent of TV business people act in ways that
slowly drawl their monosyllables into four-and
five-syllable words.
the institute could determine was either socially
or economically productive.
We all know about the most blatant
abuses—the J. R. E wings and the like—and they
are all too typical of television's portrayal of
American Business.
Media Institute's President Leonard J.
Theberge gives some reasons for NBC's, CBS's
and ABC's tirades against business. Television,
it seems, still subscribes to and is mired in the
old good vs. bad formula.
The bad, formerly represented by minorities,
ethnic groups and women,has been replaced as
those stereotypes become mercifully further
and further distant, by new cads like
businessmen and another woefully misrepre­sented
group,politicians.
Theberge explains, "It is not a new
phenomenon for creative artists to look down
on the commercial sector."
Busttessmetfwent'tjheonly ones" looked
down upon by television. As mentioned earlier,
politicians are also victims of the scorn of
television producers.
Southern politicians usually come off as either
racists (take for instance every Southern sheriff
you've seen on television) or simpletons that
Other times politicians are involved in graft or
bribe-taking schemes and the triumphant,
public, whether it be represented by a journalist
or even a coroner, gets the sneaky devil trying to
pull his fast one.
Probably the most dangerous area, though,,
where television exerts its own misguided
perceptions, is on the nightly news.
News shows on television have the responsi­bility
to report objectively the day's events, and i
leave the editorial comments to the newspapers
and local station managers. Toward this
responsibility, the networks fail miserably.
Take for instance, the debates concerning <
President Reagan's statements to the nation
last week concerning further budget cuts. If you
watched the same news programs I did, you may
have gotten the idea that Reagan and Stockman <
are the only two people in Washington "who
support the cuts.
What all this means is millions of television
viewers, most of whom have never been in a1
corporate boardroom, have never witnessed:
Congress firsthand or may not have the
resources or judgment to sort out television,
news programs, are receiving terribly distorted f
pictures of how those systems work.
The networks must recognize that these
problems exist, and they must adjust their
programming to recognize past errors. - '
Maybe then they i&hJte&gate the vfftaih roles
to the real bad guys and create the necessary
balance in their news programming that,,
objective newscasting requires.

Football situation improving
with Dye as athletic director?
Football mania hits the plains each fall with
full force. With full force, that is, until
approximately four weeks into the season, when
students cry in anguished unison, "Our athletics
are screwed up, TOO!"
But there's new hope (?) this year. At the
outset of last season, head coach Doug Barfield
(originator of the canceled Coach's Corner) was
replaced by Pat "I have no interest in becoming
athletic director" Dye.
8") - Soon after this turn of events, athletic director
Lee Hay ley resigned and followed Barfield out of
town in much the same way that Bam Sadr
followed the Shah out of Iran.
' This left the administration with the task of
finding a replacement for Hayley, a task which
ultimately resulted in the appointment of Dye to
the newly-formed position of head football coach/
athletic director (which is a little like being
paddled out to the Titanic to become combi-.
nation captain/bartender).
But what the student body at large didn't
know was what went on behind the scenes. As a
journalist, however, I was luckily able to tap one
of my many reliable sources and come up with a
conversation between Dye and President Hanly
Funderburk prior to the appointment.
"Coach Dye, I have some wonderful news for
you. We've just chosen you as our new athletic
director."
"You have? How did you end up choosing me?"
"Well, we first thought of you because you
were the football coach and therefore the natural
choice. But we quickly discarded that idea
because we don't like to pick a person simply
because he's the natural choice. So we
considered a host- of factors—performance
records, psychological profiles, adaptiveness
and even a thorough computer evaluation of all
the possible candidates. After, and only after,
this careful procedure, did we choose you."
"I turned out to be the best for the job?"
"No, you're the football coach. You were the
natural choice."
"I see."
"Congratulations, Coach, you're now our
athletic director. There's no limit as to how far
you can go." j
"What's beyond athletic director?"
"Nothing, you've reached your limit."
Tm sorry, I don't quite understand."
"Good, then you won't have to unlearn
anything. Welcome to Auburn athletics, Mr.
Dye. Do you have any questions?"
"Yes, uh...I meant to talk to you about my
salary. You know, what I'm getting is quite a bit
less than the $1.8 million you offered Vince
Dooley. Whatever happened to that money
anyway?"
"We had to send it back immediately. We
couldn't possibly leave it lying around—some­one's
apt to spend it on academics."
"What if I cancel our women's golf program?
That ought to save us some money. Do you think
then I could get a raise?"
"Could be, we'll have to see how it turns out."
"And then I'll cancel the wrestling program to
save even more money. Why, I don't even think
that the wrestling team has ever filled the
stadium."
"Mr. Dye, the wrestling team doesn't play in
the stadium."
"They don't? Then why in the hell is there a
wrestling team?"
"I have no idea. They were already here when
I arrived. That's all I know."
"That settles it; we cancel wrestling. And then
we cancel some English classes. Hell, English
classes don't make any money at all!"
"Mr. Dye...."
"And then we ax some business classes. They
can afford it—they've got plenty of courses left
before they lose their accreditation."
"Mr. Dye...."
"And then some math courses, and then
history courses. We can even close some schools
altogether."
"Mr. DYE!"
"What?"
"There's only one problem—the alumni are
what supports our football team, and the sole
way to get alumni is to actually graduate
students. Believe it or not, if we didn't put these
kids through school, there'd be no football here
at Auburn."
"But giving these kids an education is such an
expensive way to run a football program."
"I know, but until someone comes up with
another idea to produce alumni, we're stuck with
it." . . . . - • - • - • .•
CARP leader protests refusal
to prints group's advertisement
Editor, The Plainsman,
I am a member of CARP (Collegiate
Association for the Research of Principles). I am
disappointed that your paper refused to put in
our advertisement. The reason you gave was
that this advertisement may attract students to
i .our center so that we could "brainwash" them.
- Frankly, I don't think we could make anyone
believe any of our ideas, much less "brainwash"
them to act against their own good judgement. It
is the students' free choice to learn the ideas of
.C A R P The freedom of speech, convention and
belief are the basic ideas of America.
By rejecting our advertisement, you are
ignoring these ideas completely. I am sure that
you will accept a negative advertisement
against us. It's not fair at all.
In our region, the Southeast, schools from five
other states placed ads for CARP without
any kind of resistance. In this state, the school
paper of the University of Alabama in
Birmingham put our advertisement in on a full
page.
In view of this.Ican't help but say that you are
just expressing your personal opinion by using
this paper. In other words, it's not objective.
KenzoEndo
Editor's note: CARP is an organization
affiliated with the Unification Church and the
Rev. Sun Yung Moon. The letter was addressed
to the editor of the Plainsman, who is solely
responsible for the refusal to run the
organization's ad.
Editor erred in not running ad
On the front page of today's Plainsman, you'll
see two stories about the "Moonies"—four
members of the Unification Church and
followers of the controversial Rev. Sun Myung
Moon. The group is in Auburn to recruit
followers and has set up a center in small rented
house.
What you won't see in this edition of The
Plainsman is an advertisement which the group
submitted for publication this week and would
have paid for, just as a supermarket or
restaurant would.
The decision not to run the Moonies' ad was
made by editor Steve Farish. Part of Farish's
responsibility as editor of this paper is to ensure
that no libelous or obscene advertising or
advertising which presents a "clear and present
danger" is published in this paper.
There was some discussion with staff
members about whether the ad should have
been run, but the final decision was, and I believe
should have been, ultimately made by the editor,
along with an appropriate amount of staff input.
The decision not to run certain advertise­ments
because of their content or the item they
promote is uncommon but certainly not
unprecedented in the newspaper business.
Quite a few papers across the country will not
print ads for X-rated movies because of their
conviction that the content of the ad or the
product it promotes would be offensive to a
majority of readers.
Plainsman editor Scott Thurston faced a
similar decision last year when Playboy
magazine submitted an ad seeking females for
its "Girls of the SEC" pictorial. Several college
newspapers had decided not to publish the ad,
with much resultant publicity. Thurston chose
to run it.
But the ad the Moonies submitted for
publication was a somewhat different situation.
It listed meeting times and discussion topics for
the Collegiate Association for the Research of
Principles (a Moonie subgroup "dedicated to
fighting Communism and promoting under­standing
between the races" and funded by the
Unification Church) and urged students to
attend those meetings. Some mention of Rev.
Moon was made in the ad; it was apparent there
was some connection between the CARP
group and Moon. Nothing was libelous; nothing
could be termed offensive.
Valid arguments can be and were made both
for and against publishing the Moonies'
advertisement. Farish's decision not to run the
ad was based on personal convictions. He firmly
believed the Moonies take advantage of people
who may be emotionally unstable or unsure of
their convictions; that they use deception and
coercion in recruiting members for Rev. Moon
and the Unification Church. The cloudutg of the
Auburn group's intentions under the guise of an
anti-Communist label lends credence to that
argument. Farish felt a Moonie ad in The
Plainsman could conceivably convince a student
to become involved with the group—a situation
he" found unacceptable.
For the record, my personal feelings about the
Moonies and their methods of operation are
similar to Farish's. But I argued for the inclusion
of the ad on the basis of journalistic principles
rather than personal convictions. The purpose
which should be at the heart of every newspaper
is the free exchange of information, and when
that exchange is impeded through censorship,
whether it is the case of advertising or news
stories, then you as readers have been denied
the opportunity and the right to make up your
own minds. And that should be cause for at least
as much concern as has been shown over the
Moonies' recruiting methods.
I also felt excluding the ad would provide the
followers of Rev. Moon with an additional
persuasive tool in their recruiting attempts. It
would be all too easy for them to claim, "The
Plainsman refused our ad because they are
afraid the truth in its message will attract more
disciples for the church," and effect exactly
opposite from the one Farish hoped to achieve by
not running the ad.
"The free exchange of ideas" is all too often a
journalistic ideal that can't or won't be applied to
everyday situations. The actual nuts and bolts of
this argument were whether the Moonies' ad
posed a danger to Plainsman readers as a
coercive tool and whether it should be included
in the paper or censored.
If Farish's logic (that an unstable or easily
swayed person could be convinced by the
advertisement to become involved with the
group) is accepted, couldn't the same standards
be applied to the beer ads or ads for abortion
clinics which so often appear in this paper? What
about the person who can't handle alcohol and
who buys beer because of the ad? What about the
confused, pregnant girl who sees an abortion
clinic ad and decides it's the only alternative?
Should those ads be excluded too? Where do we
draw the line with censorship?
The real danger of a group like the Moonies, if
you believe the reports of alleged deception and
coercion in their recruitingtactics, isn't a piece of
newsprint advertising; it's in the group itself.
And the answer to the question of what to allow
in a newspaper doesn't lie in programming
society by taking away free choice through the
arbitrary exclusion of ads. Concern about the
Moonies should be addressed to the group itself,
not to their attempt to do business in a free
market economy.
I felt the ad should have been run, along with
editorial comment stating there had been
reports of coercion and deception in connection
with the Moonies and that anyone considering
involvement with the group should fye aware of
the potential dangers involved and carefully
weigh their decision. In our arguments, I
believe both Farish as editor and I as
managing editor had the best interests of this
paper and its readers at heart. It was his final
decision not to run the Moonies' ad. I felt you
deserved to know why.
Creel does not know Auburn's problems
Editor, The Plainsman,
With reference lo Ron Creel's letter in
The Plainsman of Oct. 1,1 remember when he
was raising such a fuss several years ago to
undermine Dr. Harry Philpott as president of
Auburn University and to get rid of Doug
Barfield as coach. I do not remember his calling
for "help, cooperation and patience" at that time,
unless it could have been construed as help and
cooperation in accomplishing what he wanted.
No one could have construed it as patience on his
part. As for his call for loyalty, this seems rather
ironic from a person who took a lead in forming a
rump alumni group when the regular alumni
group did not suit him.
Now, as he sees, it, that the groundwork has
been laid "for^'great academjc achievements,"
and he does not enlighten us as to how this has
been done, he wants those materialistic
professors to tow the line and shut up
("recommit") or move on. Of course, Mr. Creel's
letter reveals how f amiliar he is with the policies
of Auburn University concerning such things as
part-time employment. This is forbidden under
University regulations for full-time faculty.
There are some exceptions, such as for limited
consulting work, but perhaps the administration
ought to change the policy to permit the faculty
to moonlight at will, for it is unreasonable to
expect the faculty to devote their full working
energy to one job.
Mr. Creel speaks of the students as being "big
losers" if the faculty does not recommit. At the
same time he feel there can be athletic and
academic excellence if both areas pull together.
Perhaps Mr. Creel will be willing to lend as much
effort to come to the aid of the ailing library at
Auburn as he has in the past to see that Auburn
has a winning football program. This effort
would not require a rump alumni group for a
winning library; cooperation with the regular
alumni association is all that is necessary.
It may turn out to be the case that if Auburn
becomes a football power again, alumni "during
a happy moment at an Auburn football game"
will decide to contribute to the library in such a
way as to make it the heart of what constitutes a
truly great University. But if the mood of alumni
departing the stadium after the Wake Forest
game is any gauge, they may indeed decide to
tear down some of the buildings that victory-inspired
alumni contributed to build if athletic
excellence does not return in a hurry.
Actually, I think Mr. Creel does Auburn
alumni a disservice to imply their generosity is
contingent on the football team's being a big
winner. He displays an incredibile misreading of
the faculty's mood when on the basis of a talk
with two professors (and these he may have
misinterpreted), he feels personal economic gain
was the major factor in the faculty's discontent
as it manifested itself during the past year. He
insults such faculty leaders as Professors
Hudson, Ward, Ollif, Vives and Bond in their
courageous stands for academic excellence and a
less provincial administration and Board of
Trustees.

Official explains traffic jam after Tennessee game
Editor, The Plainsman,
On behalf of the Gatlinburg city government
and the citizens of Gatlinburg, I would like to
extend apologies to those Auburn University
fans who were guests in our city on Sept.
26 and may have been inconvenienced by a civil
disturbance we suffered at that time.
Ads 'misleading'
.Editor. The Plainsman,
I wuuld like to bring to your attention two
eases of misleading advertisements in The
Auburn Plainsman of Oct. 1, 1981. Both cases
-Jnvolved the advertisement of special prices.
. Neither of the businesses would honor the prices
that appeared in The Plainsman. One of the
businesses claimed The Plainsman had printed
the advertisement without its authorization.
The other business claimed the ad was a
misprint.
I understand misprints can and do occur, but
-these specific cases seem a little odd. If The
,. Plainsman did advertise the specials without the
, authorization of the businesses involved, this
,„Vas a very irresponsible and unethical practice •
which could only harm the reputations of The
Plainsman and the businesses involved. I feel
this action would require an apology by The
Plainsman. If these cases were false advertising
by the businesses, I would like to know how to
properly report this action to the proper
. authorities.

Traditionally, the last weekend in September
has been the time when owners of classic cars, or
"street rods," gather in our town. Until 1977, the
weekend event was sanctioned by the National
Street Rod Association. But that year,
thousands of unruly visitors who came to see the
cars caused such a disturbance the association
withdrew its sanction.
Since then, the city has tried to discourage the
unsanctioned street rod gathering, but some car
owners and their followers have continued to
come on that weekend. And these "followers"
have continued to cause problems for our city
and for innocent visitors.
This year was, unfortunately, no exception.
Thousands of "followers" crowded our down­town
area sidewalks and spilled into the streets,
creating a dangerous situation. Law enforce­ment
officials repeatedly asked them to
disperse, but most refused to leave. At that
point, about 9:20 p.m. on Saturday, I was forced
to declare a civil emergency, so we could legally
clear the streets and sidewalks and impose a
curfew to insure the peace.
We were also forced to stop traffic coming
from Knoxville until congestion in the down­town
area could be cleared. As ,a result, many

During the final 47 seconds of the 1980 LSU
game, the crowd noise appeared to disturb the
concentration of our plavers and coaches. A
scoring opportunity was missed on the 12-yard
line. The LSU fans bragged aoout how the crowd
helped win the game.
It's hard to believe that crowd noise in Tiger
Stadium is louder than in Jordan-Hare Stadium.

people coming in from that direction, including
Alabama visitors, had to wait for some time
before they got to motel rooms they had
reserved for the night.
We are deeply sorry for this situation. It is a
shame these unwelcome troublemakers caused
problems for the visitors we do welcome
and appreciate. We cannot, of course, refuse to
allow this undesirable element to enter our
town; we can only try to deal as best we can with
the trouble they may cause.
Joseph W. Yarbrough
City Manager
Editor, The Plainsman,
I enjoyed reading Ron Creel's recent letter in.
The Plainsman, and on behalf of the students at
Auburn I want to thank you for your concern
about Auburn's future. Auburn is indeed
fortunate to have individuals such as you looking
out for our best interests. You brought out
several good points that I would like to comment
lTAuburn was suffering many problems long
before Dr. Hanly Funderburk was selected as
president. Now with him in this position and
under his skill and direction we are beginning to
solve some of these problems. I realize, as I hope
everyone does, that our problems cannot be
solved bv one man. It is going to take effort from
all parties involved: trustees, faculty, alumni
and students, to make our solutions work.
22. The Auburn Board of Trustees is not the
only group that has fine individuals with
Auburn's best interest at heart. There are many
alumni, faculty and students who are working
for Auburn. I especially want to recognize and
commend many members of our faculty who
have stayed at Auburn and who are making
personal and family sacrifices for the good of
Auburn. Not all of our faculty have lost their
"Auburn Attitude." We are still blessed with
many individuals who believe in giving a good
li>.-ture for the students' benefit, who offer
criticism omym constructive methods ana wno
care about Auburn, all for more than just a
paycheck.
3. In a situation like we are facing, students are
the big losers. We are caught in the middle. If we
can't get that class we need, we lose. If a good
faculty member leaves our department, we lose.
If we have 300 people in a class or don't have
proper lab equipment or get caught in a fight
betweenthefacultyandadministration.welose.
Women's groups helped O'Connor
Editor, The Plainsman,
We are writing in response to JoBeth
McDaniel's column regarding the appointment
of Judge Sandra O'Connor to the U.S. Supreme
Court.
We agree Justice O'Connor deserves our
respect, and that although women have made
many gains towards equal status with men in our
society, there is still much that needs to be done
before equality is achieved.
However, we strongly disagree with
McDaniel's naive statement that Justice
O'Connor's appointment, as well as the many
other gains women have made toward equality,
can be credited to the enlightened "American
people and their changing attitudes concerning
sexual (sic) roles."
One would think from McDaniel's statements
that these changes take place in a vacuum!
McDaniel dismisses the long, proud history of
feminist activism in this country with a few
casual remarks about "noisy parades, fiery
speeches and bra burnings." She labels "the
woman activist...a vanishing breed."
If it weren't for those "liberated women" she
wouldn't have many of the rights she takes for
granted today—such as the right to vote and
have a career. We only wish McDaniel had
attended the local showing last week of the
American Association of University Women's
film "How We Got The Vote," an excellent
documentation of the long hard road to the
passage of the 19th Amendment.
If McDaniel had had the benefit of historical
perspective when she wrote her column, she
might have been more realistic about where
credit is due.
Feminist activism is alive and growing, yes
even in Alabama, and all women, whatever their
political persuasion, should be thankful that
there are women today who are committed to
carrying on the work of those brave women who
won us many of the rights we enjoy today.

City of Auburn
makes obeying law
difficult task
Editor, The Plainsman,
As a law-abiding citizen, I have tried to instill
in my children a respect for law and order. I have
disgust for defiance and circumvention of
lawfulness.
Why do cities and their lawmakers...make it
so hard for people to obey the law? Why is
Auburn so quick to punish the very lifeblood of
its economy, the students of the University and
those people who visit these students?
My daughter and I rode around and around the
block in Auburn in an attempt to purchase from
oneof the merchants an itemshe needed to make
life more comfortable (not everything is brought
from home) and finally found a parking space. I
absent mindedly stuck two pennies in the
parking meter...only to realize the meter only
takes nickels. Since I had no nickel; I took a
chance and left my car. We had hardly turned our
backs before my daughter pointed out the
policeman who had his foot on my back bumper,
copying my tag number. Then, to my disgust,
where in Auburn could be found the little box in
which a law-abiding citizen would drop his fine?
Could not the city forego this greedy attention
to money gathering until the confusion of getting
students established settles down to the
everyday negligence of harried students? Could
not folks get used to the idea that a nickel is a
necessity if you take your car to downtown
Auburn? It seems to me I'd have known it by
now—this is my ninth year of sending my
out-of-state folks to Auburn. (By the way, it is
getting pretty obvious you do not want
out-of-state folks).
Let me mention another little parking
incident. My daughter mailed a check for two
dollarstocoverparkingfines. It was not too long
after that that she received a notice from the
Auburn Police Department...that her check had
been returned. Now get this—the reason the
bank returned it was that it had not been
endorsed by Auburn! Auburn sent my daughter
a notice that she could pick up her two dollar
check and take care of the matter by paying the
original two dollars and a penalty of two dollars.

Mrs. Funderburk backs husband
I'holographv: Murk Almond
MBS. HANLYFUNDERBURK
.plays role of stage manager at the' 'White House."
Monique Van Landingham
Assistant Features Editor
Back stage at the white house,
Helen Funderburk, wife of Auburn
President Hanly Funderburk, casts
herself in the role of stage manager
and set coordinator in University
affairs.
"I am really a backup for my
husband... I just help him with his
daily duties," she says, describing
her part in the governing of Auburn.
Mrs. Funderburk shows unwaver­ing
confidence in her husband's
abilities as an administrator. She
staunchly rejects the criticism he
has faced while in office. "It's
unfair", she says frankly. "If
anyone could walk in his shoes for a
day they would see that problems
aren't solved so easily; it takes time
and alot of hard work. They have no
idea how hard he (Funderburk)
works on it every day—weekends
included."
She's optimistic that the future
will bring success. "In the long run
he'll get it straightened out. It just
takes time and there is no money."
In view of the financial difficulty
that faces universities around the
country the first lady seems confi­dent
Auburn will fare well.
"We'll get our share of the money
sometime. . . and then we'll get the
good professors back," she says.
Providing support for her hus­band
is not the extent of Mrs.
Funderburk's responsibilities,
though. She is in charge of their
household and social functions as
. well.
With a decision by the Board of
Trustees, the president's house was
remodeled under Mrs. Funder­burk's
direction. She says, "the
house really needed work done" and
that it was "long over due."
The two-month job included re-upholstering
the furniture, remod­eling
the kitchen and one bathroom
and wallpapering. All the work was
done by University employees, she
says.
Mrs. Funderburk's social and
civic duties range from attending
Campus Club board meetings to
helping organize the freshman pic­nic.
' 'We had the biggest crowd ever
CARP From page A-l
The CARP member began coming
to where she worked. Gigi says, "It
was like, if they saw my car there,
they would come in."
One day she says she found that
they had left a pamphlet at her
apartment and it was then that she
saw the picture of Rev. Moon.
Several weeks later, Gigi says she
saw Endo, and he asked why they
hadn't seen her. "I told him straight
out,' I am not going to join your
organization. I still feel strongly for
my church at home."'
"He asked me, 'Did you ask
questions, did your pastor or mini­ster
answer your questions?' I told
him that I had listened and had
become more aware of things now.
"He started to laugh and asked
how I felt about Jesus.
"I told him that I felt Jesus is the
Savior. But like anybody else, I have
doubts. I'm not a real religious
person.
' 'He laughed at me and said, 'How
does your church even stand for
that? It'snotlogical. How could they
let you?' He was almost badgering.
'If your church trains you, how can
you even have any doubts?'
Gigi adds, "I told him that my
cfiurch gave me the freedom to have
doubts and to ask questions. I told
him that if I was in CARP they would
make me say I believed even if I
really didn't. Then he said, 'If you
were in the Unification Church, you
would believe i t . '"
Another person who believes that
CARP represents a threat is Gary
Fust, of the East Alabama Teen
Challenge.
"CARP is a greater threat to
American society than the commu­nism
it claims to be fighting against.
You know Communism, it comes as
an enemy, but CARP comes as a
friend.
Fust believes the presence of the
Unification Church in Auburn is "a
terrible blow. It can only be detri­mental
to students that become
involved. The Moon cult does noth­ing
but break apart their grounding
with their families and the estab­lished
church. It's an anti-family
organization."
Fust says of the four members,
"They're not students, they don't
work, they don't attend a local
church, they don't have open serv­ices
that anyone can attend; they
basically pose as students whether
they say so or not."
The registrar's office has con­firmed
that none of the four CARP
members is enrolled in classes at the
University.
When discussing Rev. Moon, head
of the Unification Church, Fust
says, "I think he's very possibly
building himself up as a world power
figurehead. He's got a very strong
lobby in Washington, D.C., he
supports South Korea with a r m s -
he's got major interest in a gun
factory that produces more than
Remington."
Although Unification members
refer to themselves as Christians,
Fust disagrees. "The definition of a
Christian is someone who believes
Jesus if the Savior, the Son of God.
They can't prove they're Christians
by any of their doctrines. They deny
the basic points of Christianity."

Fust points out what he believes
are fundamental differences be­tween
Christianity and Moonism in
several areas. For example, Chris­tianity
accepts the deity of Jesus, his
virgin birth, his accomplishment of
salvation and resurrection. Moon­ism
denies each of these basic
tenets, he said.
Howard Self, the Southeastern
Coordinator for CARP, says, "The
media has really ghettoized us
psychologically. Because of it, peo­ple
are afraid of us, they're afraid
for their children to talk to us."
Self says of CARP, "We're relig­iously
oriented, but we deal with
secular problems as well."
CARP has four basic goals. "W e
want to initiate spiritual revival and
bring unity among different relig-ious
groups," Self said. "Weeducate
people about Communism and offer
a positive counter-proposal. We are
also promoting global patriotism."
Since the arrival of the four
Unification Church members to
Auburn in June, many citizens have
become concerned about what
effect their presence will have. Self
feels that false information has been
the cause of many of the church's
image problems.
Self says the charges of brain­washing
in the church are false.
"These charges are not easy to
overcome," he says. "This is a
historical process. Every denomi­nation
we have now was once called
heretical. That's what's happening
with us, too."
While some people in Auburn may
feel strongly about the rumors of
brainwashing in the Unification
Church, Self feels equally strongly
about professional " deprogram -
mers."
"If you're going to report about
us," saysSelf, "you ought to at least
include the tactics used by the
opposition.
"Deprogrammers, that whole
anti-cult cult, charge us with brain­washing.

dollars they will try hour on hour to
break someone of their faith.

at the freshman picnic this year,"
she points out proudly. She credits
much of the work to University
employees who help with such
events. "I couldn't begin to do it
without their help," she says.
"They're very co-operative."
Auburn's traditional social events
are carefully perpitrated by the
Funderburks. "Things that have
taken place here over the years, we
try to keep up. We're adding a few
things of our own. . . we entertain
small groups of faculty at a time, so
we can get to know them."
The fact that Auburn is much
bigger than AUM, where Funder­burk
was chancellor before coming
to the main campus, is the major
difference Mrs. Funderburk sees in
the two schools, "and, of course,
AUM doesn' t have a football team.''
"We started with a faculty so
small (at AUM) that I could have
them all to my house for dinner.'' she
explaines.
in her spare time Mrs. Funder­burk
exercises her creative talent.
Needlework is her favorite hobby
and also a favorite of her prede­cessor,
Mrs. Polly Philpott. "I pick
it up whenever I have a chance, * * she
said. .
She also enjoys sewing and other
hand-work. The immense ferns,
philodendrons and other forms of
flora which pervade her home a r e '
evidence of her love of plants.
She also considers herself an avid
football and basketball fan, al­though
bridge is the only sport she
participates in now.
A native of Carrollton, Ala., Mrs.
Funderburk has spent most of her
life in this state. She and her
husband did live for several years in
Texas and Oklahoma while he was.in
the military, but she prefers the
eastern climate to the dry heat of the
west. She loves the south, she says,
and has no desire to ever leave it.

conservative, flag-waving Auburn?
Kenzo and Gaeton answer in unison
that, "People may be against it, but
do they understand it?" They feel
that Communism threatens Amer­ica,
stating that it is "underground,
not visible. They try to organize.
Like the anit-war movement—they
used those people."
Because the Unification Church
and its members encounter so much
opposition, one may wonder how a
person comes to the CARP move­ment.
Although each person had a
different story, they were unified by
the single theme of disillusionment
and a search for meaning in life.
Gaeton Detil, 23, is a French-Ca­nadian
raised in a Catholic family.
By the time he was 18, he says he was
an atheist. "I saw no value in
religion for my life. I thought, 'if
there's a God, I don't care because I
see other people and their life is not
better than mine and they're not
happier than me. What is it gonna
change?'
"I thought in terms of right and
wrong, I was trying to find a
universal standard that I felt
existed. In these terms I came to this
movement.
' "The first thing was a person who
approached me and said they were
trying to build an ideal society. Just
those two words, 'ideal society,'
immediately caught my attention."
: Carmen Morrocco, 23, of New
- Jersey, was also raised in a Catholic
'home, but became disillusioned as a
teenager. "I strongly believed God
was important for my life. I was
really idealistic, a rebel, a revolu­tionary,
looking for something be­sides
just settling down.
"I couldn't go to church any more
because of people's atUtudes. They
didn't go to praise and worship God,
they went because they had to and to
make a big show, more than going
with the kind of heart to praise and
come closer to God."
She left home and moved to Boston
to make a new life for herself when
she was approached by members of
the Unification Church. "I went and
saw that the people and spirit were
different; a very close, pure, sacred
kind of relationship."
Kenzo Endo, a Unification mem­ber
for 13 years, Joined the move­ment
in his home of Japan. His
background was Buddhist. "I was
quite atheistic. I never believed in
God or life after death. When I was a
student, one of my friends was a
very faithful Christian. He tried to
convert me so many times. I told
him, 'I can't agree, I hate Christian­ity.'
They can't explain logically. I
believe science. Jesus died for my
sins? I don't believe that. So many
Christian nations and corruption
about moral sense. I couldn't under­stand.
"You know, my friend said many
beautiful things but he never prac­ticed.
He prayed and preached but
sometimes he read dirty books. I
thought*even if it's true.I don't want
to join because I can see contradic­tions
in the Christian church.'
"A couple of months later I met a
memberof the Unification church...
Carroll to speak at forum
on accreditation problem
By Keith Ayers
Assistant News Editor
If curriculums within Auburn's
School of Engineering lose accred­itation,
will degrees from programs
found lacking become worthless?
Does the loss of accreditation keep a
school's graduates from getting
good jobs? Will graduation from a
non-accredited program prohibit
Auburn students from getting in the
-best graduate schools?
> These are just a few of the
questions that Chester Carroll,
Interim dean of the School of
' Engineering, faces every day.
" "We have actually had Auburn
graduates from up to 10 years ago
call us up and ask if their degrees
will still be good if Auburn loses
accreditation," Carroll said a few
weeks ago.
This Tuesday, engineering fac­ulty
and students who are interested
in knowing how the loss of accredita­tion
could affect them are going to
have a chance to find the answers.
Tuesday night, at 7 in 2370
Haley Center, Carroll will be giving
a discussion on "Accreditation and
You."
The talk, sponsored by the Elec­trical
Engineering honor society,
EtaKappaNu, "will explain how the
loss of accreditation will effect the
; students as well as the faculty,"
society president Richard Komar
said Monday.
After Carroll briefs everyone on
the accreditation situation, the floor
will be opened for questions, so the
many mysteries behind accredita­tion
can be discovered and explain­ed,
he said.
"Students will be able to get it
straight from the man," Komar
said.
"Most students are aware of the
problem but are confused. There
are so many perspectives."
Komar said Carroll will answer
many questions that have been on
the minds of students.
"He will be speaking on subjects
such as how the loss of accreditation
will affect future graduates, pro­fessional
licensing, engineering
training status, the number of
companies that will interview at
Auburn in the future and what the
loss of accreditation means to past
graduates," Komar said.
"If I were a sophomore, I would
definitely be interested in the
accreditation of my school," he
said.
Komar explained that if accred­itation
is lost within two years,
students already enrolled in pro­grams
here might graduate from a
sub-standard university.
"There has been very little dis­cussion
between faculty and stu­dents
on accreditation, and this
forum is really needed," Komar
said.
"I think it will help students quit
having to worry so much if we
explain everything to them. Worry­ing
about something like accredita­tion
shouldn't keep students from
their work," Carroll said in regard
to the forum.
The discussion is open to the
public.
I was not brainwashed by this
theology. They explained very logi­cally.
Some people said, 'They're
brainwashing,'but it's not true. I'm
not a fool, you know.
"Of course I heard a couple of
rumors of brainwashing. But it was
very logical and I believe logic. I
went to the seminar and had a very
good course and decided to join."
The conversation turned from the
past to the present. The Unification
Church members explained their
plans for fall quarter would be
continuing their usual activities:
conducting surveys, inviting people
for dinner and a lecture, and
encouraging people to go to the
two-day seminar held In Atlanta,
Ga.
Occasionally they would be sell­ing
pictures to raise money, Kenzo
said, but not as often as during the
summer, when they sold them every
day.
They also hoped to charter an
organization on campus, a CARP
club, where students could discuss
world affairs. The club would have
no connection with the church,
Kenzo says. However, he admits
until at least one of the group was
enrolled in classes, it would be
difficult to start a student organiza­tion.
Kenzo says they measure the
responses they getbylookingat "the
spirit of the people. We must really
find out quickly where we can have
the most influence. Auburn is very,
very conservative. Sometimes peo­ple
don't care so much about world
affairs."
Unification teaching on revela­tion,
salvation, and other subjects
such as the Eden story are different
from scripture. Gaeton explains
why: "Jesus had many things that
he never said. He said, 'I have many
things to say to you but you cannot
bear it. I'm talking about heavenly
things and you can't understand it.'
Jesus had many many things to say,
but what Rev. Moon knows today,
Jesus knew."
The name of the church itself,
Unification, implies that many

different ideas are incorporated into
one theology. Gaeton states that,
"We don't condemn any religion,
frankly, except Communism, be­cause
we believe Buddha and
Confucious were inspired by the
same God as the Christians. They
don't believe that, but I believe they
were chosen originally to lift up the
spirit of the society where they were
living."
Kenzo feels that Rev. Moon, who is
called "an inspiration" in CARP
literature, is "a teacher that can
bring a lot of solutions to this world.''
"What is Christianity?" Kenzo
asked, answering himself by say­ing,
"People who can really give
solutions to mankind."
In answering questions about who
they believe is Christ, Kenzo
launches into a definition. "Messiah
means 'Annointed One,' a person
who can solve many kinds of
problems in society. So I believe
Rev. Moon is one who can suggest
some kind of solution to many world
affairs.
"Jesus was a person who was
closest to God. He's a sinless,
perfect, man. So that's why God can
dwell in him and he can dwell in God.
But it doesn't mean God and he are
one entity," Kenzo states.
"I believe Jesus is God" Kenzo
says stopping to correct himself. "I,
I, no—I believe Jesus was Christ and
Jesus was Messiah. One hundred
percent."
"We pray in the name of Christ,"
said Kenzo, smiling broadly. "You
can come to our meetings and see."

Tigers hope to break LSU's string
By Bill Wagnon
Assistant Sports Editor
The Auburn Tigers will be looking
for their first modern victory over
LSU when they host the Tigers in an
important Southeastern Conference
football game this Saturday at 1:30
p.m.
After not playing for 27 years,
Auburn and LSU have played five
times since the series was resumed
in 1969 and have yet to win in those
five meetings.
The last time Auburn won against
LSU was in 1942, 28-7. This was the
last game before the series was
halted before starting again in 1969.
The Bayou Bengals have beaten
some of Auburn's best teams over
the past few years, including a 17-9
win over a team with Pat Sullivan
and Terry Beasley in 1970, which
cost Auburn a share of the SEC
championship.
Auburn's 1972 team went 10-1 for
the year, including a Gator Bowl
victory over Colorado, 24-3, but was
clobbered by LSU in Baton Rouge,
35-7.
In 1969, the Tigers missed their
best chance of winning since 1942 but
missed an extra point and lost the
game 21-20.
Last year Clifford Toney blocked
an LSU punt in the last seconds of the
game, and Auburn got the ball on the
LSU 11-yard line. But the Bengals
intercepted a Dass on fourth down,
and LSU came away a 21-17 winner.
Overall, Auburn and LSU have
met 23 times, with Auburn winning
eight times since the series started
in 1901. LSU has won 14 times, and
the 1941 game ended in a 7-7 tie.
LSU is coached by Jerry Stovall,
who is in his second year as the
Tigers' coach, replacing Bo Rein
who was killed in a plane crash
shortly after taking over the LSU
job. Stovall has a 9-7-0 overall record
at LSU.
The Bengal Tigers have a 2-3
record on the year; they lost to
Alabama, Notre Dame and Florida
while beating Oregon State and
Rice.
Auburn will enter the game with a
1-3 record after last weekend's hard
fought loss to the Nebraska Corn-huskers.
Both Auburn and LSU are 0-1 in the
SEC. Auburn lost to Tennessee 10-7,
while Florida beat LSU 24-10 last
weekend in Baton Rouge.
LSU runs the veer offense, which
is much like that Auburn used under
former Coach Doug Barfield. LSU
uses a 50 defense.
The LSU offense is led by quarter­back
Alan Risher, who has averaged
12 completions and 126 yards
passing per game this season. He
has also thrown for three touch­downs.
The Tigers are led in rushing by
running back Jesse Myles, who has
rushed for more than 230 yards and
Iras scored three touchdowns.
The LSU defense is led by
All-American candidate Ramsey
Dardar at Tackle and veteran
defensive end Al Richardson.
LSU has scored 81 points in five
parties this year, while it has given
up 113 points.
Auburn has scored 55 points in
lour games, while the defense has
given up 67 points.

lowered his average to 81.2 yards

played in a constant rainfall and
winds up to 30 m.p.h.

"I've been trying to help out where
ToddRubley
Senior tight end wants to help the team
By Bill Wagnon
Assistant Sports Editor
Todd Rubley. To many fans
who have followed Auburn foot­ball
closely the past few years,
Rubley was a determined, tal­ented
freshman four years ago,
but to others he is just a third
string tight end on this year's
team.
Rubley is a 6-f oot-3,199-pound
tight end who came to Auburn in
1978 from Davenport West High
School in Davenport, Iowa, as a
highly recruited passing quar­terback.
Such quarterbacks as Charles
Thomas, Charlie Trotman, Ken
Luke, Mike Blanchard, Joe
Sullivan, Randy Campbell,
some minor injuries and Au­burn's
stable of outstanding
running backs kept Rubley
from becoming the quarterback
many thought he would be.
As a senior in high school,
Rubley led his team into the
state championship game
which was carried on live
television across the Midwest
and which helped his college
chances.
"When we played the cham­pionship
game, it was on televi­sion
throughout the state of
Iowa and parts of Nebrasks,
Illinois, Minnesota and Mis­souri,"
Rubley said. "Because
of this and people getting to see
me play, I was recruited fairly
well.
' 'I got recruited by quite a few
schools. I was sort of lucky
because I was around a lot of
great athletes, like here at
Auburn where we have a lot of
great athletes.
' 'I was recruited by a lot of big
eight and big 10 schools. The
only two Southern schools to
recruit me were Auburn and
Tennessee," he said.
Rubley, who was recruited by
former coaches Doug Barfield
and Tim Christian, came to
Auburn with hopes of playing
quarterback and throwing the
ball a lot.
"When I was getting recruit­ed,
I was talking to schools in the
big 10 and big eight that throw a
lot," Rubley said. "Auburn
traditionally has a passingrepu-tation,
maybe because of the
Sullivan-Beasley era; I'm not
sure.
When Auburn recruited me, it
signed five passing quarter­backs,
and the following year it
recruited five passing quarter­backs,
so it looked pretty good
we were going to pass. But, I
have no hard feelings," he said.
Rubley started his career
here in 1978 as a member of the
junior varsity team. In his first
game against Florida State, he
threw two touchdown passes in
the first half before going down
with a bruised sternum, torn
muscles in his chest and some
pinched nerves.
After sitting out his second
year as a redshirted player,
Rubley was switched to free
safety last year before moving
to tight end in spring practice
this year.
"I have also had some ham­string
problems," Rubley said.
"That sort of hampered me
quite a bit, but I feel fortunate
because a lot of my teammates
have had worse injuries, such as
surgery.
' 'The good Lord has been good
to me because I haven't been 'in
surgery yet. I have just had
pulled muscles and strains and
bumps and bruises," he added.
Asked why he switched from
quarterback to free safety dur­ing
his junior year, Rubley said,
' 'I just wanted to contribute to
the team. The coaches were
very happy with Joe's perfor­mance
and also Charles and
Randy Campbell's.
"I talked to the coaches, and
they said we needed a little help
at free safety. If you can
remember correctly, Daryl
Wilkes and Mark Dorminey
were hurt quite often, so we
needed help there. So I said,
'Fine coach. No Problem,'" he
said.
Rubley lost yet another
chance to play quarterback
when Coach Pat Dye came to
Auburn with the wishbone of­fense.
"It's sort of obvious; I will be
honest with myself," Rubley
said. "I'm not the fastest guy or
quickest guy; I'm a draw-back
quarterback.
' 'When the wishbone came in I
justknew I better move because
I just wanted to play. It doesn't
matter where, I just like to play.
"Idon'tlookatitasif lamina
bad position. I'm grateful some­one
gave me enough ability that
I can play these positions," he
said.
The warm Southern weather
and the people at Auburn were
two of the biggest reasons for
Rubley's coming to Auburn to
play football.
' 'When I first came to Auburn,
it was really strange, the night
before I left it was 50 below.
When I got here it was 50
degrees. I was walking around
with a T-shirt on. The people
down here were wearing jack­ets.
"What really impressed me
was the Auburn closeness, the
family type. When I got letters
and mail from other schools, I
saw references that said it is a
family atmosphere, but you go
up there, and they are cold.
"When I came here, I was
really impressed with the
people. Ithink we probably have
the greatest fans in America
because it doesn't matter how
well or how poorly you are
doing, they are still suppor­tive,"
he said.
"In my position, especially
because I haven't played as
much as some of the other guys,
I have had a lot of people come
up and say, 'Todd, I have seen
you play in scrimmages and
junior varsity games and just
hand in there.' The Auburn
people are so supportive. That is
what is great about Auburn
people," he added.
Rubley comes from a family
where he is one of seven
children, who are mainly boys
and are either playing football
or have played football at some
time during their lifetime.
" My family is rich in tradition
in football," Rubley said. "We
are all quarterbacks. It's a big
family tradition.
' 'My father never got to play,
growing up during the Depres­sion.
His father never let him
play. He never pushed any of us,
but he gave us the opportunity.
' 'His father never let him play
because he always needed him
at home, so he was always open
to give us the opportunity," he
said.
Rubley has an older brother
who, as a sophomore in college,
was the starting quarterback
for Iowa State under head coach
Earl Bruce, now at Ohio State.
' 'He was the starting quarter­back
as a sophomore, and that
year they beat Nebraska in
Lincoln," Rubley said. "That
was probably his biggest thrill.
In five years that he played,
they beat Nebraska three out of
five years."
Rubley also had two other
older brothers who were out­standing
quarterbacks. Tim,
who was recruited by Johnny
Majors when he coached at
Iowa State but decided on
playing baseball instead, and
Tom, who decided to be a
salesman. Tom was the number
one salesman for Xerox last
year.
There are still two Rubleys
yet to make it to the college
ranks. Trent, who is only a
junior in high school and is
already being recruited to play
quarterback, and T.J., who is
playing little league football.
See RUBLEY, page 7
ever I could," said Milkovich. "I've
been helping out coach (Paul Nix)
with the baseball team. Since the
tennis coach left, I' ve offered to take
care of some of the duties until they
find a coach for the team. I've
offered my help since a lot of these
people have been my friends. I still
want to help them out."
"I have several camps that I will
be doing. Iowa State is flying me
down to put on a coaches clinic for
the state of Iowa. Pennsylvania is
flying me up for the state of
Pennsylvania and I've got several of
these clinics scheduled. What am I
suppose to do? If I get another job,
they'll cut my salary; then I'm
really in trouble. SoI'll just lay iow."
When Auburn's Athletic Depart­ment
dropped the wrestling pro­gram
on July 10, it gave Milkovich a
hardship in finding another job.
"There's no jobs open now be­cause
everyone's starting their
seasons. I want to go to a place and
fulfil} what I always wanted to do.
That's take a group of kids to a
national championship. I know I'm
capable of it. I've been geared for
this all of my life and that's what I'm
aftersol'm justwaitingfor a college
to come in and say, 'Tom, we want
you to take our college to a national
championship' and then I'll take
that job."
The successful coach already is
talking to several schools about
jobs.
"Right now I'm trying to talk to
Florida State. I know I could bring
them a national championship.
They've got all the possibilities and
Bobby Bowden is one of my all-time
favorite coaches. I've looked over
the facilities at the school. They
have a lot of wrestling in the state.
Their athletic program all around is
geared for national caliber—their
baseball team, football team and
track team; you can see it all around
Florida State. I'm trying to make a
proposal to them to start a program
and bring them a national title."
While at Auburn the former
All-American wrestler hadother job
offers but turned them down.
' 'Two years ago, the University of
Michigan offered me a job to coach.
It is one of the most powerful schools
as far as money's concerned. They
offered me close to triple my salary
here at Auburn, which makes it
harder to take when they pulled the
rug out from under me. But I turned
them down because I knew I could
take this team, with the type of kids
we had, to the top of the country. I
wanted to show that I could establish
a loyalty. A lot of the time a coach
will run from one school to another
and the whole bottom line is money.
That wasn't going to be Tom
Milkovich. It didn't matter what
someone else would pay me, I was
going to do what I said I was going to
do. I was going to take them to a
national championship, the SEC
championship and everything else I
promised. That's why I turned them
down. I thought to myself, "I've got
to be loyal'."
This season Milkovich had plan­ned
several events that would have
been big drawing cards to wrestling.
"This year I know who'd be the
best in the country, Oklahoma State
and Iowa State. Either Oklahoma
State would win it or Iowa would.
They were both coming in toVrestle
us here.
' 'I not only like to coach wrestling,
I like to promote and put people in
the stands. I know I've done a great
job at that. One of the things I had
planned was to bring the San Diego
Chicken in for one of the matches. I
was in the process of lining up two
matches for ESPN. In one I wanted
to bring in the Chicken. I had a
backer for it. Bringing the Chicken
wouldhave brought in an extra 3,000
fans. Now if we're wrestling Iowa
State and we put 6,000 people in and
include the San Diego Chicken, then
you might be talking about 8,000 or
9,000 people in the gym."
The Ohio native still feels it was
unfair that his sport wasn' t given the
chance to produce money.
"We had potential to make
money. Not only that, but we had
Olympic hopefuls in (Eli) Blazeff
and (Clar) Anderson. That would
have brought world-wide recogni­tion.
' 'When Dan Gable walked in from
Iowa and looked up and saw 5,000
people in the stands, he asked, 'How
much do you charge for admission,.'
I said, 'We don't charge anything,'
The look on his face was self-explanatory
andhe said, 'You'vegot
to be kidding me. You've got all
these people here. What, is your
athletic department nuts?'"
Milkovich was able to raise
$150,000 dollars to bring back the
program, along with women's golf,
for one year, but was told that $1
million would be needed to have a
four year program.
"I said to myself, "Here they've
had wrestling 36 years and I raised
$150,000. The least they could do is let
this program go on for one more
year and let me work on getting
adequate funding to fund the pro­gram
for the rest of eternity." But
tney never did that. They whipped it
out and I wasn't suppose to say
anything about it.
"Instead, we put in another
package through a telephone
system that was close to $400,000. I
didn't do the negotiation. That was
Ray Downey, one of our ex-wrestlers
here."
Milkovich related a story about
Downey, whose two sorts later
wrestled for Milkovich.
' 'His father was going to buy him a
car if he went to Alabama. He came
down here and met Swede Umbach
andsaid 'I want to go to Auburn. You
can keep the car, I want to wrestle
for Swede Umbach'."
Presently most of Auburn's
wrestlers have transferred to some
of the nation's best wrestling
schools.
"They wouldhave grabbled more
but nobody had any money when
they dropped the program so they
result, we've got some of the kids
still at this school. It'sbeen a terrible
scene for those kids. And they would
have come back here to wrestle in
the blink of an eye."
One other reason Milkovich is
helping in other sports until he finds
a new job is because of the support
his wrestlers received from the
other athletes.
' 'It was a beautiful sight to see the
other athletes there cheering as we
wrestled. That's the reason our kids
got so good so fast. Our kids fought
because those other kids fought for
us, too."

Freshman passes test
King becomes secondary starter
By Bill Wagnon
Assistant Sports Editor
Two weeks ago, in an effort to
strengthen Auburn's pass de­fense,
Coach Pat Dye promoted
freshman defensive back David
King to first team in a move
that proved to pay off.
When the season started, it
looked like Auburn's pass de­fense
would once again be its
downfall as it has been in past
years, giving up 210 yards
passing in a win over TCU and
265 yards in a loss to Wake
Forest.
But since the juggling of the
starting lineup, which included
the promotion of King, the
Tigers have allowed only 95
yards passing in the last two
games, 48 yards by Tennessee
and 50 yards by Nebraska.
Auburn has also intercepted
four passes, two of which were
made by King in the Nebraska
- game.
A 5-foot-10, 175-pound defen­sive
back from Fairhope, King
was one of the most sought after
players in the state this past
year.
King showed signs of his
ability in Auburn's first game,
blocking a punt against TCU,
but he still expressed shock
when he started in only the third
game of his college career
against Tennessee two weeks
ago.
"Actually all I wanted to do
was make the team,'' King said.
"Itnever crossed my mind I
would be a starter. When the
coach told me I was a starter, it
was a shock.
"Since this is just my fresh­man

King said he had played in

in Mobile, but nowhere close
to the 93,000 he would face in

me after a couple of minutes of
the TCU game," King said.
Kingwasheavily recruited by
such schools as Tulane, South­ern
Mississippi, Arkansas,
UCLA, USC, Alabama and, of
course, Auburn.
' 'I visited Arkansas, and head
coach Lou Holtz was a really
nice coach, "King said. "I didn't
visit UCLA and USC because I
didn't want to travel that far."
Why did he pick Auburn over
such football powers as these?
"Because Auburn is a good
academic school.and I am more
of an academic person," King
said. "It is a nice place to be and
there are a lot of nice people
here."
King narrowed his choices
down to Auburn and Tulane. ' 'I
picked Auburn because the
people and coaches are real
nice. It makes me feel like home
because Fairhope looks like
this."
An all-state performer, King
led Fairhope to a 23-7 record as a
quarterback during his high
school days, but he was switch­ed
to defense here.

high school.and I knew the line
here would be much bigger, so I
knew I had to change.
"I wanted to play defense
because I got tired of people
hitting me. I wanted to hit them
back," he said.
When asked about Auburn's
future, King has big expecta­tions.
"I'm hoping by the time
we are juniors or seniors, we
will be Sugar Bowl bound. The
freshmen are getting a lot of
practice and playing time. Also
by the time we are juniors and

"We met through recruiting,'

we came up here we became

that way."

Fumbles, defense shut down Tigers against Nebraska
By Brian Love
Sports Editor
Constant rain and a tough Nebras­ka
defense smothered the Auburn
football team Saturday in the
Cornhuskers 17-3 win in Lincoln.
Auburn fumbled 10 times, losing
| ' five and had two interceptions while
gaining just 150 yards offense.
Meanwhile, Nebraska ran up a 307
yard offense but were able to score
only on drives of four and nine yards.
Auburn led the game on Al Del
Greco's 52-yard field goal with 6:22
remaining in the first quarter. This
lead was good until the 0:10 mark of
the third quarter when Nebraska
tied it up with a 39-yard field goal.
The Cornhuskers were able to shut
down the Auburn ground game all
day, holding the Tigers to 55 yards
rushing including 22 yards on 14
carries by freshman Ron O'Neal
and one yard on 26 carries by
quarterback Charles Thomas.
The Auburn defense which held
Nebraska numerous times was led
by linebackers Danny Skutack and
Chris Martin, safety Mark Dormi-ney
and cornerback David King.
Skutack and Dorminey both had 15
tackles, Martin had 13 tackles and
King had two interceptions.
Auburn's defense allowed the
Cornhuskers to move to its 29-yard
line before stopping Nebraska's
fourth-and-three play.
Auburn then drove to the Nebras­ka
34 where Del Greco kicked the
Tigers to a three-point lead.
Nebraska's next possession also
ended on a fourth down play when
freshman nose guard Ben Thomas
stopped a quarterback sneak short
of the first down.
A 61-yard punt by Alan Bollinger
closed out the opening quarter for
Auburn.
Nebraska moved to Auburn's 36
but again got no points when Quency
Williams sacked the Cornhuskers'
quarterback for a seven-yard loss.
Auburn gave Nebraska a great
opportunity when freshman quar­terback
Ken Hobby fumbled on the
first play of Auburn's next posses­sion,
giving the Cornhuskers the ball
on the Auburn 21. However, Martin
recovered a fumble on the nine to
stop the threat.
Following a 52-yard Bollinger
punt, the Cornhuskers again moved
deep in Auburn's territory but Dowe
Aughtman sacked the quarterback
for a loss.
A short Bollinger punt gave
Nebraska good field position again,
but freshman King intercepted a
pass on the Tigers six on the
Cornhuskers first play.
Although Auburn lead 3-0 at the
half, Nebraska had a huge advan­tage
in the statistics, gaining 166
yards compared to Auburn's 45 and
had 11 first downs compared to
Auburn's two.
Nebraska finally got on the board
when the Cornhuskers drove 39
yards before kicking the 39-yard
field goal.
Auburn gave Nebraska a great
chance when it fumbled to the
Cornhuskers on its own four. Two
plays later the Cornhuskers took the

Inconsistency, youth, potential
all associated with football team
Many people felt Auburn would
have an excellent football team this
year with a chance to go to a bowl
£ame, but after four games it's
ijbvious the Tigers need improve­ment
just to become a good team.
This is not to say the team is a
bunch of dogs, and I can't wait until
basketball season.
Possibly, the greatest point of
optimisim is the play of the team in
the last two weeks. In the 10-7 loss to
Tennessee, the Tigers drove to the
Vols'four as time ran out, then last
weekendagainstNebraska, they led
for the first half,but fumble
