Budget open to public
Students spend days in soaps suds
By Lynn Brown
Assistant News Editor
One stop by the Foy Union lobby in the early
afternoon, and you '11 be convinced that Auburn students
are alarge contributor to the 900,000 soap opera viewers
between the ages of 18 and 24 polled by the Neilsen rating
system.
Soap operas, which got their name by originally being
sponsored by soap manufacturers, are popular on
campus, as evidenced by the crowd Tuesday at the
UPC-sponsored gathering in Foy Union to watch the
wedding of "General Hospital's" Luke and Laura.
Registrar Thomas Stallworth says he could tell a
definite drop in class requests in the early afternoon,
and of course, the eight o'clock period. Stallworth said
he was unable, though, to determine the most popular
soap opera by the exact hour that class requests were at
their lowest point.
The Neilsen rating system states that the over­whelming
majority of soap opera viewers are female,
but swim team captain Steve Wood disagrees that it is
just a girl's pastime.
"Ihardly ever miss'AllMy Children,'and I've caught
myself cutting classes just to see it," he says.
Wood, an All-American backstroker from Fort
Worth, Texas, says he watches his 'soap* because, "It
breaks the monotony of classes and studying. And it's
always nice to see other people having problems besides
yourself." •
Kim Murphy, a junior in public relations-speech from
Nashville, Term., says she has also caught herself
cutting classes to watch soap operas.
"Spring quarter I'd get out of class at 12 o'clock, then
sit and eat lunch through a couple of them (soap
operas)," she says. "By the time my 2 o'clock French
class rolled around, I couldn't pull myself away."
Murphy says that her room in Dorm 3 is always a
"social center" since she has a color television set, and
the location of her dorm room makes it easy for friends
off-campus to drop by for an hour or two.
"There are always three or four people in my room
watching soap operas during lunch," she says.
Lucille Thaxton, affectionately called "Mrs. T" by
her Dorm 10 residents, agreed that the place to be in the
afternoons is in front of a television set.
' 'Last year, I had 30 to 35 people in the lobby watching
'General Hospital,' "she says.' "That lobby was packed.
A lot of girls would have their boyfriends with them, and
everyone would be just glued to the TV set."

For the first time in history,
Auburn University's budget has
been opened to public scrutiny.
The two-volume, 809-page
document was placed in the Univer­sity
Archives in the basement of the
Ralph Brown Draughon Library
Thursday. It is an itemized budget
for 1981-82 by departments for
expenditures at Auburn Univer­sity's
main campus, the School of
Engineering, the Agriculture Ex­periment
Station and the Coopera­tive
Extension Service. The budget
for Auburn University at Mont­gomery
is kept at the Montgomery
campus.
Although Grady Cox, executive
vice president, refused to comment
to The Plainsman concerning the
circumstances prompting the de­cision
to open the budget to the
public, The Auburn Bulletin quoted
him as saying, "There has been
interest by a number of people and
groups for a number of years in
having an official budget document
made available.
"We've had discussions with
deans, vice presidents and certain
members of the Board of Trustees
for some time, and we finally made a
decision we would put the budget in
the library. It's a decision that has
come about over a period of time,"
he added.
Dr. Grover Jacobs, financial
adviser to the president, said the
decision was made based on the
recent Alabama Supreme Court's
definition of public document, dis­cussions
with Auburn administra­tors
and legal counsel. It was made
after "considerable deliberations,"
he said.
The Supreme Court definition
came as a result of a suit by The
Anniston Star against Jacksonville
State University requesting the
right to see records of a "private"
fund use'd by former school officials
forlobbyingpurposes. Itwas settled
out of court under an agreement that

Two football players die in crash
By Brian Love "
Sports Editor
Two Auburn freshmen football
players were killed early Tuesday
morning when the truck they were in
collided with a fuel tanker near
Marianna, Fla.
Alan Manley of Albany, Ga.,and
Cary Condray of Birmingham were
killed instantly. James Loyce Hunt
of Dothan, the driver of the tanker,
was injured.
Manley
The accident took place 1.7 miles
north of Compass Lake south of
Marianna on U. S. 231. The two w < •?
apparently on their way to the
beach when, according to reports,
Manley's pick-up crossed the
centerline, hitting Hunt's truck.
"This is a tremendous shock to
everyone associated with Auburn
football," said Auburn head coach
Pat Dye.' 'Both Alan and Cary were
fine people, good solid people. They
were loved by their teammates and
coaches.
"Evidently they decided to drive
tothebeachfor part of the day. They
would have been back for football
practice this afternoon. Neither one
of them had ever missed a practice
or even been late.
"They apparently left about four
this morning,which would have put
them around Marianna abot 7:15
which is when the accident occured.
"Our sympathy and prayers are
with their families. Alan and Cary
were a big part of our family here in
Auburn,and they will certainly be
missed."
The 5 -foot-11, 185-pound Condray
was one of Dye's signees last spring.
He attracted Dye's attention by
gaining 1,123 yards on 153 carries at
E.B. Erwln High. He injured an
ankle early in summer practice,
which kept him from playing much
with the junior varsity team.
Manley was Dye's first signee
after taking the job of Auburn
football coach on January 3. The
6-foot-4, 255-pound lineman was
hoping to see action on the defensive
line this season but was switched to
offense becauseof lackof depth. The
former two-time, All-State per­former
at Deerfield School dressed
out for the varsity and was a
member of the traveling team.
Because of the deaths, the Aub­urn
Alabama junior varsity game
scheduled for this Saturday at
Condray
Jordan-Hare Stadium has been
canceled.
There will be a memorial service
at 6 p.m. today at the Telfair Peet
theatre with the Rev. Bob Baggett
officiating.
Kuykendall says faculty activism growing
By John Mangels
Managing Editor
The Auburn faculty is taking on a
"new, more assertive role,'' Univer­sity
Senate President John Kuyken­dall
said Monday.But along with
that growth has come the growing
pains of' 'trying to achieve a balance
between that new faculty activism''
and letting the administration act in
its decision-making role.
Kuykendall told an audience of
Omicron Delta Kappa honor society
members and alumni that the
Auburn faculty previously "never
had a reputation for activism.
"The history of faculty involve­ment,
if not minimal, has at least
been less pronounced than at other
places," he said. 'Even with the
University Senate, we never had a
lot to say."
This lack of faculty involvement
existed because of the "laid back"
atmosphere of the University and an
attitude of trust in the administra­tion's
decision-making capabilities,
Kuykendall said.
But because of "external fac­tors,"
including the controversial
selection process of a new Univer­sity
president in 1980, "we've seen
faculty members become newly
assertive," he said.
Evidence of this new assertive-ness
can be seen in recent faculty
demands for greater input in admin­istrative
decisions, especially the
limitations placed on enrollment
last spring, and more representa­tion
on advisory committe.es.
"We're passing through a period
of re-evaluation and reassessment
of roles,"Kuykendall said. "The
University Senate is far more ready
now to enter in the decision-making
process."
The re-examination of roles
within the University has affected
the Auburn Board of Trustees as
well as faculty members, Kuyken­dall
said. "We can see around us a
different side of leadership or
involvement from the board of
trustees. In the last five or six years,
as a group, they've been more
inclined to investigate various
activities than in the past. I think the
board is more involved in formula­tion
(of policy) than in the past."
An example of this greater in­volvement
by the board was the
presidential selection process,
which in turn acted as a catalyst for
greater faculty involvement, Kuy­kendall
said.
"We all acknowledge that there
was a measure of unseemliness and
political hardball" in the search
process, but the way in which the
board was involved is now' 'a fact of
life," he said.
Kuykendall said he wasn't sure
the present selection process for
members of the Board of Trustees
insured diversity among the group.
Trustees are appointed to twelve-year
terms by the governor (who
serves as board chairman) with the
approval of the state Senate. They
must be state residents and Auburn
graduates.
" I think expansion of the size of the
(ten member) board wouldn't
hurt,'' Kuykendall said,' 'in addition
to including non-Auburn graduates
and people from outside the state.
There are some top-flight people on
the board but I' m sure we' re missing
some."
Kuykendall also questioned
whether Gov. Fob James and
education superintendent Wayne
Teague (ex-oficio member of the
board) could, "because of their
larger responsibility, achieve the
role of advocacy for the University"
that was required of a trustee.
James had been scheduled to ad­dress
the University Senate Monday
afternoon but postponed the speech
because of involvement with the
current legislative special session.
Accompanying the evolution of
greater faculty and trustee involve­ment
in decision-making has been
the emergence of a new concept of
university, Kuykendall said.His-torically,
schools have either been
student-oriented and dedicated to
learning, or faculty-oriented and

Still no solution to noise problem
By Nancy Blancato
Plainsman Staffwriter
When the Auburn City Council
rejected an ordinance Nov. a that
would have placed a 60-decibel limit
on most noise in residentially zoned
areas, both student leaders involved
in the issue and council members
said they would work for a com­promise
to solve on-campus noise
problems.
Butafter more than two weeks, no
solution has apparently been
reached.
Peter Riley, Interfraternity
Council president, said fraternities
have been urged to stay within
existing time limits for band parties
and to limit midweek noise.
"We realize since the ordinance
was defeated, we have a good share
of the responsibility for reaching a
compromise on the noise problem,"
Riley said. "I feel as if the lines of
communication (with the city) are
definitely still open, and we're
working toward a solution."
Riley said a meeting with Barney
Harding, Auburn police chief, was
scheduled for this week "to discuss
better methods of handling noise
complaints with fraternities and the
enforcement of existing disturbing
the peace laws."
The council requested after the
ordinance was defeated that
Harding make a study of the existing
disturbing the peace laws and
evaluate them for the Public Safety
Committee.
Before the ordinance was voted on
Nov. 3, Riley and SGA President Rip
Britton were appointed to a com­mittee
to reach a compromise on the
issue. The committee met twice
before the council's decision, but
has not met since then.
Britton said he had met with
council member Alex Moore this
week, and Moore "expressed con­cern
that we still get together and
come up with some solutions?.'
Britton said the noise ordinance was
still an important issue, and the SGA
was still working on it, but "we ate
waiting on Chief Harding to see what
direction that takes."

evangelistic efforts aimed at Auburn students. However, this year, Albert

Th Oxmoor Press, publishers of
"Southern Living," has recently
made Auburn University's library a
depository for all its books, resulting
in the immediate gift of 160 books
with more on the way.
"As the books run through the
press, it'll pull a copy and send it to
us," William Highfill, library
director, said. "The only stipu­lations
are we keep the collection
together, and we make the books
easily accessible to the library
users."
Highfill said these books would be
put in the Alabama Room. "Oxmoor
has provided a custom-built rack,
and we' 11 put a plate on it identifying
the set as the Oxmoor House
Collection. Also, we do have some
copies of the set which we'll let
circulate in the general collection."
John Floyd, senior horticulturist
of the Oxmoor Press, brought the'
books to Auburn last week.
"He read an article about the
plight of the library and thought it
would be a natural thing for the
books to be given to the state's land
grant institute," Highfill said.
The most prominent of the art
books is "Jericho," by Will Dickey.
" 'Jericho' is out of print," said
Highfill, "so it would probably be
valued at somewhere around $1,000.
There are many other art books in
the collection, including "The
American South," by Jim Kilpat-rick
and William Bands, "Country
Antiques and Collectibles" by
Carter Smith and "Timeless
River,'' a series of painted portraits
of the Mississippi, by Burny Myrick.
Oxmoor Press is well known for its
regional cookbooks, gardening,
home and decorating books and
crafts books, as well as many
farm-related books and special
interest books, said Highfill. "We
willl have an almost complete run of
the most significant publishing
house in the region.
"Oxmoore House is one of the few
publishing companies in the South to
be as successful as the larger, New
York-based publishing houses.
"A regional flavor permeates
each publication. The books have
gained national recognition because
of this and the photography and art
work, which is consistent .in
quality," Highfill added.

Reagan declines offer9
but Bush may attend
President Ronald Reagan has
turned down an invitation to
attend the Auburn-Alabama foot­ball
game in Birmingham Nov..
28, but Vice President George
Bush may attend in his place.
The invitation to Reagan came
from Sen. Howell Heflin. In a
letter sent to the president Mon­day,
Heflin said he knew Reagan
was a college football fan, and
that the game will be "truly
historic."
"If Alabama wins, Bear
will have won 315 games - the
most ever by any college football
coach," the letter said. "If
Auburn wins, theTigers will have
stopped the legendary Bryant
from breaking his tie with (Amos
Alonzo) Stagg."
Lauren Steele, Heflin's press
secretary, said Reagan had cal­led
the senator Tuesday to extend
his regrets at not being able to
attend the game. "Reagan said
he really wished he cold go but
unfortunately had other commit­ments,"
Steele said.
Steele said a verbal invitation
had been issued to Bush "but we
probably won't know anything
until the first part of next week.''
Steele said a good deal of security
preparations would be required
before such a visit, "but we are
very hopeful at this time that he'll
be able to go."
Bush attended an Auburn home
game in fall, 1979, as part of his
campaign travels in the South.

Though no drastic changes are
planned for Campus Security, the
department is looking into the
feasibility of a shuttle system for the
campus, said Jack Walton, campus
police chief, at an SGA Senate
meeting Monday night.
"We're looking at Samford and
Wire Road parking now, and we're
checking into 10-15 other uni­versities
with regards to their
parking and traffic situations," he
added.
Walton said money collected from
parking tickets goes toward the
payment of materials and salary
costs for the upkeep of parking
facilities and traffic signs.
Walton also said measures have
been taken to make the 14 security
monitors that patrol campus
buildings at night more effective.
The monitors have no police powers,
Walton said, but "we are putting
them all in uniforms, and they will
carry the chemical Mace."
Scooters seen giving tickets in the
day will now be used at night to
patrol the Quad and Hill dorms to
enhance safety, he said.
In other business Monday night,
the senate tabled abill regarding the
classification of fund drives.
Now there are three classifi­cations
for fund drives. A drive is
classified as an ' 'all-campus drive"
when 100 percent of the profits are
submitted to and allocated by the
All-Campus Fund Drive. A drive is
classified as a "campus drive"
when 100 percent of the profits are
donated to those charities desig­nated
by the organizations holding
the drive. A drive is considered a
"combination drive" when the pro­fits
are divided among the All-Cam­pus
Fund Drive and other charities
selected by the organizations
holding the drive.
Under any of these classifi­cations,
when sanctioned by the
senate, the organizations con­ducting
the drive receive on-campus
advertising privileges.
The bill, presented by the Student
Welfare Committee of the senate,
requires organizations conducting
drives to donate at least 25 percent of
the profits from the drive to either
the All-Campus Fund Drive or to a
charity within the state.
If the bill passes, organizations
must follow the stipulations set forth
in order to receive on-campus
advertising privileges. Also, all
drives will be classified under
All-Campus Fund Drive under the
new bill.
The bill was tabled because of a
problem concerning the national
Greek organizations' designation
their fraternity or sorority chapters
allocate profits to pre-specified
charities not necessarily within the
state of Alabama.
A number of senators noted their
organizations were required by
their national organizations to
donate profits from fund drives to
specified charities outside the state,
and their groups would run into
trouble if they had to cut into those
profits according to the rules of this
bill.

Dr. Robert E. Whiting, a Missis­sippi
State alumnus, has filed a
$15,000 lawsuit against Auburn Uni­versity,
the city of Auburn and the
Southeastern Conference because
Auburn campus police took away his
cow bell during the Mississippi
State-Auburn football game Oct. 24,
said University attorney Thomas
Samford.
Whiting, a Jackson, Miss.,
psychologist, is also filing suit
against the president of Auburn
University and the commissioner of
the SEC, Boyd Whorter, Samford
said. "You can'ttake property away
from someone without due process
of law, and the SEC is not a
lawmaking body," Whiting said.
Campus Security took the cow bell
away from Whiting because noise-makers
are not allowed in any SEC
games, said Jack Walton, chief of
campus police.
Samford said Whiting's com­plaint
is "deprivation of property
without due process of law and being
falsely imprisoned."
However, Whiting was not im­prisoned
by police, Walton said.
"We have filed nothing in re­sponse
to the suit at this time,'' said
Samford. A response will be made
by Nov. 30, 1981, he added.
"Auburn bands play throughout
the game, so I don't see why
Mississippi State fans can't have
cow bells," said Whiting. "It's the
idea of it; I don't agree with that. I
think it's childish.
"Campus Security asked me. to
leave my seat and then took me
into another room," said Whiting.
Whiting said he then spoke to
another officer who he believes was
an Auburn city policeman because
he had a badge and a gun.
"They did it to harass me. I don't
agreewithit," saidWhiting. "Some­body
had to have told the police to
come and take the bell."
Whiting said the regulations are
ridiculous. "On the back of the ticket
it says cameras, radios and noise

Open budget good news
The opening of Auburn University's budget in
detailed form for the first time last week was no
isolated event that occurred in a vacuum.
Pressure had been put on the University
administration from journalists, students and some
members of the board of Trustees to make the
figures available.
In addition, recent out-of-court and in-court
decisions influenced the administrators. "The
Anniston Star" and Jacksonville State University
agreed out-of-court to have that school's figures
made public; in addition, the Alabama Supreme
Court recently defined a "public document" in
such a way that the Auburn budget would almost
certainly have fallen under the definition.
The opening of the budget is an obvious victory
for the media, which tries to always make
information available to its customers.
But it is also a great victory for Auburn students
and Alabama taxpayers who provide the finances for
the institution. These people have every right to see
how their money is spent and from that data
determine if it is being well used.
The budget contains individual salary figures that
some faculty and administrators would have
preferred to keep confidential. Because all these
people are public employees, however, their
objection has been rightly overruled.
It's doubtful anyone will discover great secrets in
the budget. It is comforting to know, though, that if
such secrets do exist, there is now a means through
which individuals can expose them.
New roles evolving
Auburn'sfaculty is trying to take on a' 'new;more
assertive role" in the University's decision-making
process, but it is having problems'' trying to baim ice
out that new faculty activism" and letting the
administration perform tasks that evolve from its
role.
University Senate President John Kuykendall,
speaking before an Omicron Delta Kappa audience,
said the faculty is having trouble in this new role
because it has not historically been so active. ' 'The
history of faculty involvement, if not minimal, has at

least been less pronounced than at other places," he
said.
That new activism is evident enough from
numerous resolutions passed by senate that have
called for more input into the decision-making
process of the University. Last Spring, for example,
faculty memberscomplainedloudly when they were
not consulted on an enrollment limitation decision
made by President Hanly Funderburk. As noted by
Executive Vice President Grady Cox, enrollment was
an area in which Auburn faculty had never actively
participated in the past.
As the faculty adjusts to its role, so will the
administrationhavetoadjust. Conflicts will occur as
they do when growing pains occur, but the conflicts
must never become so great that faculty-administ­ration
relations are endangered.
Both sides must also have patience with one
another. The growth process will come slowly, and
no one should propose radical changes that might
cut the growth totally.
Responsible leadership and restraint is needed on
both sides too, but the most important requirement
is that lines of communication be kept wide open.
If such dialogue is kept up, the result could be a
dramatically different approach to faculty-admin­istration
relations, one that could increase mutual
understanding a great deal.
On Sample's new job
Word comes from the State University of New
York at Buffalo that Dr. Steven B. Sample,
executive vice president of academic affairs at the
University of Nebraska, has been made president of
that 27,000-student institution.
Many Auburn people remember Sample well, for
he was one of the five finalists during the
University's presidential search two years ago.
People who came in contact with Sample while he
was on the Auburn campus for interviews are not
surprised at his ascension to this prestigious post at
New York's largest single collegiate unit.
A Faculty Advisory Committee and a Student
Advisory Committee both met with all five
candidates and ranked Sample as their number one
choice. The student committee called him a ' 'very
Beat Bama!
And so it comes down to one last game.
The Auburn Tigers will battle for the last time this
season nine days from now as they take on the
Crimson Tide of Alabama before a national
television audience.
The game has special meaning, as anyone who
knows anything about college football realizes,
because Alabama coach Paul' 'Bear' 'Bryant will be
hunting his 315th career victory, a win that would
break the career victory mark held for so long by the
legendary Amos Alonzo Stagg.
Auburn has suffered a number of heart breaks this
season as last-minute mistakes have cost crucial

academic record. His expertise in academics could
continue to improve Auburn's academic process.
The search committee at SUNY-Buffalo equally
praised on Sample. Robert I. Molozi, the
committee's chairman, called Sample "young,
dynamic, bright and energetic."
Sample had eventually withdrawn from the
Auburn search because of what he perceived to be
' 'continuedpublic divisiveness within the board (of
Trustees)." His dropping out led directly to the
naming of Dr. Hanly Funderburk as president of
Auburn.

for the Tigers as much as denying the
Bear his bid for the record.
, The War Eagles have not won the "Iron Bowl''
since 1972, when the skies opened up, Auburn
blocked two punts and won 17-16. Alabama's
consecutive win streak is the longest in the history of
the rivalry.
All of Auburn wants a win badly. The Tigers will
have to be superbly prepared for this game, for the
Crimson Tide will be battling with extra incentive.
We hope the final score will mean that the Bear
will have to wait until after next Saturday before he
can write his name in the record book.

Student, faculty trustees in future?
For years one nagging unresolved question at
Auburn and other universities has been whether
to allow faculty and/or students to serve as
voting members on boards of trustees.
At Auburn, the movement in favor of such
appointments was strongest during and
immediately after the presidential search of
1979-1980. Students and faculty had been left off
of the search committee appointed by Gov. Fob
James, chairman of the board, and both groups
were left puzzled and disillusioned. Feeling that
board representation alone could prevent many
of the problems associated with the search, the
University Senate passed a resolution endor­sing
faculty board membership, and student
leaders talked more seriously than ever before
about recommending the same for a student.
Besides contesting that future public rela­tions
problems due to board actions could be
avoided, faculty and students argued that
trustee members from their groups was a
natural right. Free exchange of ideas and the
principles of representative government were
being voilated when the campus' two largest
constituencies had no voice in the body that
governed them, they said.
Though this reasoning was viable, the
National Commission on College and University
Trustee Selection has recently published just as
convincing arguments why the two groups
should not be represented on boards. Its reasons
are particularly interesting because they do not
match up well with the generally liberal tone of
the rest of its report.
Both students and faculty should not be made
members of boards of trustees because of
potential conflicts of interest, the report said.
Though not detailed in the reort, these
"conflicts of interest" theoretically could lead a
student to argue ferevently on behalf of an issue
his constituency (or special interest group)
without regard for the potential damaging
ramifications for others on the campus. A faculty
member, this line of thinking continues, could do
the same if the issue were raises or tenure
requirements.
In the case of student members, the
commission voiced its concern that they "only
serve for a short period of .time; too often the
student trustee's term has expired just when the
student has begun to understand the job."
The commission also recommended that
young alumni be appointed instead of students
and that faculty members from other campuses
be appointed instead of local faculty. It warned,
though, that such "foreign faculty" must come
from far enough away so that competitiveness
does not prejudice their votes.
Auburn, then, faces a dilemma about its Board
of Trustees. The present system, under which
the SGA presidents of Auburn's two campuses
serve as non-voting members (thev almost
are never allowed to attend committee
meetings, where the true work of trustees goes
on) and no faculty serve, pleases few on campus.
Appointing them, however, does bring up the
difficult question-of not only conflicts of interest
but of maintaining necessary confidentiality.
If Auburn students and faculty want board
representation, they should be prepared to fight
for it despite strong objections. Such battling
must entail more than the almost non-existant
action taken after the University Senate's
resolution.
The lobbying effort, ironically will not be
directed principally toward the trustees them­selves,
but toward the Legislature and the
governor. These people will be the ones to
change the section of the Code of Alabama which
details the requirements for trustee selection.
The lobbyists will also have to present
candidates whose scruples will be obvious
enough that they can avoid charges of conflict of
interests (University Senate President John
Kuykendall is one such person), and they also
must outline some plan by which student
representatives can serve for more than a single
year so they can become integral parts of board
procedure.
If a new board make-up could be effected,
strained relations between faculty and students
and the board would be diminished. Cooperation
like that concerning the Student Activities
Building would become more frequent.
Thatspiritof cooperation would be something
both healthy and new for Auburn University.
An interview with 'Bear' Bryant
The Auburn-Alabama football rivalry is upon
us once again, which means different things to
different people. For me, it means unloading my
student ticket at some ungodly profit.
For others, it means sucking in that gutful of
hearty Thanksgiving food and coming out to
cheer the Tigers on to victory, or, if such proves
too difficult, to injure as many Alabama players
as possible before the officials step in.
For others still, it means a drunken run to
Birmingham for another thrashing moment of
derangement at Legion Field.
But to Paul "Bear" Bryant, this is the big one.
This could be career victory number 315, which
would make him the winningest coach of all time.
The eyes of the press and the nation will be
focused on this game in anticipation of an
Alabama win.
Of course, this Tide victory will not take place
at all, at least not according to the friends and
coaches of the Auburn Tigers. And there is some
substance to this belief too, for Bryant is rapidly
aging, and rumors of a bedpan in the coach's
booth are circulating in reliable circles.
To get to the bottom of this and to shed some
light on the man who has come to be known as
"the Mumbler," I went to Tuscaloosa to
interview Bryant. I found "the Bear" one sunny
afternoon while he was eating lunch in his office
with his interpreter.
PLAINSMAN: First of all, Coach, I noticed
that you now have an interpreter. Why have you
started using one after all these years?
BRYANT: Mmmmbrglbbbgrr good ol' boy
mbmmlghhhjbrrmhh move the ball mbrshhhsp-mblr.
INTERPRETER: Actually, no one has ever
been able to understand Bryant. When this
season started out so miserably with the loss to
Georgia Tech, we figured we'd better start
trying.
PLAINSMAN: By the way, what is that you're
having for lunch? It looks kind of strange.
BRYANT: Mmmmbrglshhhvlgrblhh.
INTERPRETER: Strained beets. It's one of
his favorites.
(At this point, the interpreter stuck a spoon
into a baby food jar of beets and held it out to
Bryant, coaxing him: "Now open your mouth...
Come on, open up...here comes the airplane
rrrrrrrrrr.")
INTERPRETER: He likes mashed bananas
too.
PLAINSMAN: Oops, he just spit up.
INTERPRETER: Good thing he was wearing
his bib.
PLAINSMAN: Mr. Bryant, because of this
year's sluggish start, many Alabama students
are saying you're washed up as a coach and even
as a human being. How do you respond to this
charge?
BRYANT: Mmmbrmmmbrggglhhhbsshhrhr
spoiled brats gghspsshrgg stomp their butts
•drblggmmm.
INTERPRETER: He says the students here
are the best in the world.
PLAINSMAN: Do you expect to beat
Auburn?
BRYANT: Ha ha ha, mbmrglsbsshhghhh.
INTERPRETER: Ha ha ha, does the Bear
relieve himself in the woods?
PLAINSMAN: Are you excited now that
you're about to break Amos Stagg's record of
314 wins?
BRYANT: ...zzzzzzzzzz...
INTERPRETER: Yes, he's very enthusiastic
about it.
PLAINSMAN: Why does your head look like a
giant prune?
BRYANT: ...zzzzzzzzzz...
INTERPRETER: He says it's probably
because...
PLAINSMAN: Now wait a minute; Bryant
isn't saying that at all. He's just snoring.
INTERPRETER: What?
PLAINSMAN: Didn't you notice? He nodded
off three questions ago.
INTERPRETER: Oh that. Yeah, he takes a
nap about this time every day.
PLAINSMAN: Even on game days?
INTERPRETER: Especially on game day s. A
good nap in the first half will keep him fresh for
the rest of the game.
PLAINSMAN: I think he's regaining con­sciousness.
BRYANT: Mmmmbrgl Namath you idiot!
INTERPRETER: He's raving again. You
better leave.
BRYANT: Grbrmmmm a punt! No, not
another punt!...
'Thanks' given to moral guardians
The Auburn Cinema Society, subversive
group that it is, has obviously taken to
undermining the morals of students by showing
pornographic movies here on campus. One film
in particular, "The Seduction of Mimi," was
blatantly advertised with almost X-rated
posters showing a young girl, presumably Mimi,
looking as if she were about to De seduced.
Added to that, it was a foreign film. You know
how bawdy foreign films are.
Thank God, there are people who are looking
out for all of us innocent students. There are
people concerned about the morals of this
University who want to put a stop to movies like
this being shown to non-adult audiences.
Five of these people, all of whom reside in
Birmingham, immediately took action on this
problem. They wrote to President Hanly
Funderburk demanding he stop the porno­graphy
now being shown at this state-funded
institution. "The Seduction of Mimi" wasa prime
example of this pornography they wrote.
I would not have known anything about the
film had I not chosen it to review for a class.
When I went to see it, I had to search for a seat
among the crowd. I figured everybody was being
forced to watch it or something but found many
people had come to watch for their own pleasure.
That should've warned me.
At the time, I had no qualms about the film. It
was almost as filthy as an ABC Movie of the
Week. It ranks right up there with "Raiders of
JoBeth
McDaniel
the Lost Ark," "Gone With the Wind" and
"Towering Inferno" as hard-core porn.
Still unaware of the film's depravity, I wrote
my detailed review of it. My instructor even
showed parts of the movie during our regular
class period. My class didn't understand the
immoral nature of the film, so we all enjoyed a
good laugh when we should have been hiding our
eyes.
Then the letters arrived, and the administra­tion
took action.
Wild and liberal as these administrators are,
they supported the Cinema Society (or 'Sin'ema
Society) and decided to let it continue its barrage
of decadent films despite the warnings from our
moral protectors in Birmingham.
But despite the administration's stance, are
we, as God-fearing, conservative Auburn
students going to stand by and let these films
continue to be shown? Quality movies like
"Bambi," "Bambi Returns" and "101 Dalma­tians"
are available, and they are certainly good
enough for the Cinema Society to show. Maybe
we can even convince the Tiger, Village and War
Eagle theaters to show films more fitting for
non-adult student audiences.
I owe my appreciation to the five concerned
people in Birmingham who opened my eyes to
the fact that what I had seen was pornography.
You certainly knew what you were doing
when you called the matter to the attention of
President Funderburk.
Oh, by the way, the "Mimi" who was seduced
in the film was a grown man not a young girl as
some of you thought. And Mimi was seduced by
fascism-, and the Mafia's offers as much as he was
by women. But we all know what they were
really talking about when they said "seduction."
The subtitles didn't appear to be that vulgar,
either, but if you looked for it, you could find
dirty meanings in almost all the scenes.
Since the film didn't show much bare skin
(except the buttocks of a 300-pound woman with
a mustache), it may be hard to prove it is really
pornographic.
But what does that matter? We know it must
be.
Keep monitoring our morals here from
Birmingham, if you will. We need more people
like you to keep our society free and open. After
all, we have the freedom of speech and
expression guaranteed by the Constitution.
Keep up the good work so all of us can enjoy this
freedom in a morally right world.

University experiences show
Auburn becomes new 'home'
You can lose a lot of things at college.
Not only are physical items, such as keys,
calculators or Chefs Club cards lost, but also
things that are less easily replaced.
Forfreshmen, losing contact with home can be
both invigorating and sad. It's exciting to be on
your own, but who's going to do the laundry?
High school friends who go to a different
college or don't go at all also become more
distant. They aren't sharing the experience;
they aren't growing in the same direction
anymore.
Auburn is exciting for a short while.
After the first quarter, things begin to drag.
Winter in Auburn is dull. It's cold; nothing
happens; classes somehow aren't as interesting,
and teachers seem more crabby.
The glitter wears off during winter quarter.
Auburn is no longer perceived as freedom but
instead as a voluntary four-year prison system
after the mandatory prison of primary education
in grades one through 12.
Losing illusions is a vital part of an Auburn
education.
Despite what the brochures said, Auburn isn't
glorious. The buildings are either old or
leaking-if not both.
The quality of this school is in its people.
Smiling, laughing, having a moist eye when the
team loses an underwhelming game-these are
the characteristics that -make Auburn people
special.
Through a series of unfortunate circum­stances,
I've become a senior, been a freshman
myself and seen three years of initiates pass
through the gates.
Every year, freshmen get a little younger.
Mommy and Daddy drive them down; they make
their nests; prepare their stomachs for the
culinary delights of War Eagle Cafeteria.
They lose their fellow students, too. Twenty-five
percent or so of starting freshmen don't
make it through all four years. How many go
more than four years is anyone's guess.
There is so much to do here and seemingly less
time every day to do it. It's excruciatingly easy
to lose any semblance of a grade point average.
Life acquires new meaning after three
deadlines, the paper, the yearbook and the
literary magazines, are all due the same week as
midterms, reaping harvest of hard work and
frustration.
Buddy
Davis
Farish, Raganomics lack human touch...
When the Board of Trustees gets together, be
prepared to lose some money. Four years ago,
tuition was $220 a quarter. Now it's $330. That's
50 percent inflation.
With Reaganomics on top of higher costs,
prepare for a thinner bankbook.
Federal loans are a mere shadow of their
former selves. Work study funds wouldn't buy
half of the china Nancy Reagan bought for the
White House. To lose our taxes, we must lose our
educational supports, Reagan says.
There is an equally long list of things we need
to lose.
Preppies, books by and for preppies,
vice-presidential preppies-none of them would
be missed.
But the worst thing to lose here is your mind.
It is finals week. Dead day was spent drinking
heavily, drowning your meager GPA in what
Kurt Vonnegut Jr. calls "yeast excrement."
You've got to go home for Christmas—no peace
or tranquility there.
Finals flubbed; you're on your way home- a
long drive, winding roads through little towns. It
would be easy to lose your way, to make a wrong
turn.
Mom and Dad greet you at the door. As you
enter the room, you notice you've lost something
you've always taken for granted.
Home isn't home anymore. Home is in Auburn
now.
Some things lost can be replaced. When home
is lost, it becomes a hotel, a place to stay until it's
time to go back to school.
The feeling of losing home is one you can'f
eliminate because it's necessary. You can't g<
home.. /
You can't really lose home anymore, thouy.
because it goes where you go.
, And that is a feeling you never lose.

topic of which he has noM grasp.

But his "learned awnings lack one basic

My knowledge <*«« from the street, where

To Farish—an/hany of his cohorts—need is a
vague concept, linger is an abstract. Neither
has tangible n*ning- Why? Because he has
never experie^d either.
His experilce with social programs is
through class* economics texts and bar graphs
where the hirfan element is lost in the maze of
figures, per^itage points and decimals.
I grew w'in rural Alabama. I have seen
hunger. I We seen kids wear the same clothes
to school eJry day of the week, and not because
they werin style.
I havepen families where the breadwinner

elemltary school where many children are in

1981
\»o is to say these children aren't neerly?
Petaps Farish should give them the old "pick
yourself up by your bootstraps" speech.
Perhaps he could brief single mothers about
capital investments and "basic human economic
desires."
My writing is in the first person, for my
experiences are in the first person. These things
I have seen; they are not theories that steam up
with a rank vapor from conservative texts.
A woman who has hungry children at home
doesn't give a damn about textbook theory.
A child who needs medical attention and
whose parents can't afford it, doesn't need to
know about Dow-Jones, Darwinism or the
American dream.
One simply can't learn all there is to know
about social programs in The Wall Street
Journal. He has to live with them, see them
work, see them used and see them abused.
Perhaps Farish should try to explain the joys
of an entrepreneur to the black man with a
sixth-grade education.
Perhaps this man would be no more ignorant
about economic ideas than Farish is about need.
He could, on the other hand, probably give a
better definition of need than Farish can give of
Reaganomics. Surely it would be much less dry
(is arid a better word?).
Finally, there is a confession I must make. I am
one of those leeches who is killing the "American
way of life." I am on a social program.
The program is student financial aid, a social
program in every sense of the word, a program
3,000 Auburn students depend on.
Yes, e"very year, according to tabulations made
by Uncle Sam, the government "doles" to me a
cash payment to help pay my college expenses.
Eventhough I have worked 25-30 hours per week
through most of my college career, this hasn't
always been enough to pay the bills.
Whether the program is Socialistic, Commu­nistic,
Marxist or any other kind of "istic" is no
concern to me. All I know is without it, college
would almost have been an impossibility for me.
I am just thankful for the "long-faced liberal"
who had the insight to realize every college
student doesn't have "daddy's money" to foot
the bills. (Perhaps we should pause here to see if
we can feel the "foundations of our free society"
crumbling!)
I cannot blame Farish for his myopic ideas,
however wrong they are. He is a product of living
and growing up in a situation where there is no
hunger, no need, no insecurity, no wondering if
there would be enough money for college.
For him, need is a concept. Hunger is an
abstract. They are things he has never really
understood, just as the hungry illiterate doesn't
understand Reaganomics.
Perhaps we should ask ourselves the
question, "Am I so caught up in the making that
extra buck I lose all sight of that secondary
element called mankind?"
Our society has a duty to take care of its poor
and its hungry. If ignoring the needy and making
the value of life in our society measurable only in
dollars is a prelude to "economic doom," then I
say, "let us be doomed."
Let us live our days ever mindful of others;
their needs, their hunger, their burdens.
The next time I see someone using food
stamps to pay for groceries and using cash out of
a thick wallet to pay for booze and cigarettes, I'll
probably get irritated and whisper an expletive.
But when I see the contented look on the face of a

/ .. .President' s economic policy failing already
Heflin invites Reagan to view
battle against Crimson Tide
President Reagan,
On behalf of the people of Alabama, I want to
invite you to be my guest at the Auburn-
Alabama football contest in Birmingham on Nov.
28.
This could be a history-making game because
Alabama Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant could break
his 314-game tie with Amos Alonzo Stagg, who
incidentally finished his distinguished coaching
career at your state's College of the Pacific in
Stockton, Calif. A win over Auburn would make
Bryant the winningest college football coach in
history.
However, I must warn you there can be no
guarantee Alabama and the Bear will win this
game because Auburn has a remarkable and
much-improved team hungry for a victory over
the Crimson Tide.
This will be a truly historic game. If jlabama
wins, Bear Bryant will.have won 3l/football
games—the most ever by any colle^ football
coach. If Auburn wins, the Tigerswill have
stopped the legendary Bryant from braking the
tie with Stagg. As you know, ther^ias been a
resurgence in the Auburn foothll program
under the leadership of new head c*ch Pat Dye,
and the Tigers' performance has improved each
week. /
I know you are a college fotball fan. I
certainly hope you will be abk/to join me in
witnessing firsthand this truly pstoric football
classic.
Sincerely,
fcn. Howell Heflin

Pornography
at bookstore
typical in America
Editor, The Plainsman,
Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt
once spoke of the destruction of America that
would occur from within its borders. Today,this
very destruction is happening. To what am I
referring? Social, economic and moral degrada­tion.
' America claims to be "one nation under God
with liberty and justice for all." Is it liberty when
a man reads a pornography book and then goes
out and rapes a 10-year-old girl to act out the
things he has read? Is it justice when a man
is released from a drunk driving charge and then
kills a person while driving in a drunken stupor?
Is it of God?
God has blessed America as no other nation.
We live in a society with more freedoms than
most nations dream about. Are all of these
freedoms because of man? I think not.
Look at what man does with his freedom to the
unborn and the elderly. He kills countless of
thousands of unborn babies and subjects the
elderly, who under God established our country
as a worldwide power for peace and symbol of
freedom, to live the rest of their natural lives in
lonely despair.
Why do I write these things? To appeal for a
change. To cry for a firm stand to be taken.
Walk into the University Bookstore and what
do you see? Pornography at the first counter. It
really blends with and promotes academic
excellence. This is only one area, but it is a start.
Auburn-take a stand to combat these
degradations. Help return America to "one
nation under God". Your voices can be heard
with the power of God and his Word.

Either Steve Farish doesn't know what
feaganomics is, or he's lost himself with how
huch he knows about conservative philosophy
and its virtue.
The point is Reaganomics doesn't have a
' single thing to do with being a social manifesto,
and Farish's claim that it "operates on the
assumption that human beings will continue to
act like human beings in most cases," doesn't
make sense.
What economics book did this come from? It's
gook.
Reaganomics is economic' theory attempting
to restore prosperity to the country by turning
the clock back on government spending and
budget deficits.
This is Reaganomics.
After the first round of budget cuts, interest
rates have forced the cost of government
spending to increase by more than $5 billion for
fiscal 1982.
The 1982 federal deficit, the heart of
Reaganomics, will miss the president's target of
$42.5 billion by as much as $20 billion, even if
more budget cuts go into effect.
The congressional budget office predicts the
promised balanced budget in 1984 to fall short by
$50 billion. Reagan dropped the 1984 target last
week.
Social programs were cut to the bone, but
Reagan asked for only $13 billion over a
three-year period to be cut from the defense
budget. David Stockman had wanted a $30
billion cut over two fiscal years.
This isn't responsible government. Reagan
has $514 billion in domestic spending cuts to
offset more than $700 billion in tax cuts and $167
billion in added defefnse spending scheduled
over five years.
It just doesn't add up; does it?'
Economist Lester C. Thurow summed up
Reaganomics this way: "the President promises
4.5 percent growth over the next five years. But
the American economy cannot grow at that rate
unless productivity is growing at 3 percent per
year. Productivity has not grown at that rate for
14 years.
"Yet the President expects an instant
turnaround.
"If interest rates stay at current levels for a
year or more, they will bankrupt the savings and
loan industry, devastate small business and
farming, destroy weak American industries and
test the survival power of American industry,"
he added.
Had enough?
Reaganomics caused 3 million Americans the
loss of their Social Security checks beginning
this March. CBO director Alice Rivlin said many
of those losing the "meager" benefit would be
women or retirees more than 80 years old.
That's Reaganomics, balancing the budget on
the backs of those who can least afford it.
Reagan is looking a severe revenue shortfall in
the face and needs a surge of growth in 1982 to
catch up, according to Business Week.
Fourth quarter growth will drop lower than
the third quarter's 0.6 percent decline and the
second quarter's 1.6 percent decline, and the
outlook for 1982 is a point below the predicted 3.4
percent average gain for the year.
Reagan promised economic growth and
declining budget deficits. Look what he ended up
with—a recession and a ballooning deficit.
A Business Week editorial said, "Congress
will not put through the kind of additional
budget cuts needed to bring down, the deficits.
"The administration and Congress must
realize the tax cut they gave taxpayers was too
large. Additional budget cuts must be combined
with tax increases," it added.
Farish said tax cuts would prompt the rich to
invest their added wealth for the betterment of
all mankind. But last year, the average
American only saved 5.6 percent of his income,
and he's going to consume most of the tax cut..
What are they going to invest in, these nice rich
people?
Is this helping the retiree who's having her
Social Security stripped from her? Can the
moral righteousness of Reaganomics answer
that?
Claims for unemployment increase topped a
half-million per week, and the overall rate is
about to hit 8 percent in the near future.
And The Morgan Guaranty Survey said, "The
U.S. government budget deficit in 1982 could
absorb 40 percent of national savings available
for investment."
The benefits from investment Farish so wildly
praised just don't seem to pan out in the real
world of Reaganomics. It isn't that pretty when
you get down to it.
Reaganomics isn't the romantic conservative
haven Farish painted it to be. His column was
displaced in priority because it rattled on about
the morality and philosophy of politics without
addressing the problems affecting real people in
the real world.
Farish seems to be in a dream world with a
high-minded view of the whole thing. He needs
to come down to the level where he won't be
swamped by a mirage of philosophy.
Look around down here for a while, and then
tell me that Reagan hasn't cut too much too soon.
Then write about the moral benefits Reagan­omics
will provide.
There are a lot of liberals down here who can't
wait to say I told you so.
Birmingham alumni group
sets up Auburn Eighties Club
Reader has lost respect for paper
Editor, The Plainsman,
After reading Tim Dorsey's article (not
editorial) about the WEGL-Plainsman game, I
have lost much of the respect I held for our
newspaper. Even though I work as promotions
director for WEGL, I have never truly felt
anything but pride for Auburn's school
newspaper until now.
I thought a "good professional" newspaper
reported only facts and left opinions for the
editorial section. I found this not to be the case
when I read Tim Dorsey's slanderous article
about the women at WEGL—not to mention his
comments on the station in general.
Tim Dorsey hasn't even seen three-fourths of
the women here at WEGL (I know I never got the
privilege of meeting this obnoxious person), so
on what can he base his facts? Obviously, they
are not facts.
When I was in the newspaper business, we
could have been sued for such false statements.
Such leads me to my current decision—as I'm
sure others have reached—The Plainsman is
definitely not a professional newspaper.
I leave the readers of this unprofessional
newspaper with this thought in mind: what do
the ladies of WEGL (who also work at The
Plainsman) now think of their staff of boys who
criticized their own women?
Lynda Stephens
Promotions Director, WEGL
Editor, The Plainsman,
We have formed a club for young Auburn
alumni in the Birmingham area called the
Auburn Eighties Club, for which we are now
actively soliciting membership and publicity.
Students who were active at Auburn
University have also taken on leadership roles
with this new organization. Older people at
Auburn r nember names like Trey Ireland and
Kevin Ccaway as those of highly active
students; they are contributing much time and
effort to the club as well.
We have already begun services for our
members as well as students who will be moving
to the Birmingham area soon. We have plans for
a get together before next Saturday's Auburn-
Alabama football game, and we hope to buy a
block of tickets for the basketball game between
the two schools in Tuscaloosa this winter.
For Auburn students who have job interviews
in Birmingham, we offer needed information
(like city maps) and a place to stay if one is
needed. For those who will move to "Magic City"
soon, we offer apartment advice as well as
membership in the club.
Final two pep rallies announced
Editor, The Plainsman,
The final two pep rallies for 1981 will be held
this coming Monday and Friday nights. These
are the most important rallies because we all
want to beat Bama this year. This is the year to
win.
On Monday at 7 p.m. there will be a pep rally on
the steps of Langdon Hall. Your support and
attendance is needed.
The SGA Spirit Committee and the Jefferson
County Alumni Club are sponsoring a pep rally
Nov. 27 at the Horse's Tail on Valley Avenue in
Birmingham. It will begin at 5:30 p.m. and will go
on all night. Aubie. the cheerleaders and past
football heroes will attend. It should be great fun
for all Tiger fans.
Your support for the team has been great this
year. This is the last game of the year and also the
most important. We will win this year. I shall see
you at the pep rally Monday night.
Have a great Thanksgiving and come to the
pep rally Friday night. Also, please remember to
bring your shaker to the game on Saturday.
MackMauldin
SGA Director of Spirit
We are stressing that this club is for only the
recent graduates of Auburn. We do not wish to
interfere in any way with the impressive
Jefferson County Auburn Club, which most of us
will join in a few years.
We hope to give young graduates a chance to
meet people and make new friends, helping them
all the while to adjust to life outside of Auburn.

Film not dirty,
society head says
Editor, The Plainsman,
Recently, several letters were sent to the
president of the University complaining about
promotional posters for Lina Wertmuller's
"Seduction of Mimi." It is a pity ignorance has
such consequences. To my knowledge, none of
these people has even seen the film or knows of
its content. Thoughtlessly labeling such
material "pornography, trash, filth and tripe"
shows nothing but hasty judgment and a limited
vocabulary. In actuality, Mimi is a man, and his
seduction is merely political. We, the Cinema
Society, welcome comments, but we would
appreciate it if they had more intellectual
backing than these. I would also like to thank the
administration for its careful handling of this
matter and understanding our situation.

Socialist for independence
Mitterand like DeGanlle^says French attache
By Steve Parish
Editor
' 'Francois Mitterand is a man who
will defend the independence of
France as vigorously as did Charles
DeGaulle."
Andre Baeyens, press attache for
the French consulate in New York,
made several comparisons between
the new Socialist president of
France and the conservative,
nationalist general who led in the 50s
and 60s in a speech in Auburn
Monday.
Mitterand will emphasize a strong
defense as DeGaulle did, without
participating in "the integral sys­tem
of NATO," Baeyens said. The
general's reliance on nuclear arms
build-up and the strengthening of
"conventional forces" is also being
reemphasized by Mitterand, he
said.
Baeyens said two personal meet­ings
with the president in the past
year showed him two different
views of Mitterand. Thefirsttime, in
December 1980 at a speech at New
York University, Baeyens de­scribed
the then presidential candi­date
as "tired and wearing a
worn-out suit. His goal (then) was to
charm his public; he was kind and
relaxed."
At the second meeting, at a
breakfast press interview last
month when Mitterand visited
President Ronald Reagan at York-town,
Va., he found a man "who
made very few hand motions. He
was extremely controlled, but he
was in another place. One felt he was
thinking of other things.
"He is his own master," Baeyens
said. He described Mitterand philo­sophically
as a "pragmatic social­ist"
who has no leanings toward the
Marxist-Leninist version of social­ism
but who also has a special
concern about the third world.
Mitterand "believes it is not only
our duty, but it is in our interest to
help underdeveloped cultures,"
Baeyens said. Forty percent of our
exports now go to these country announced France is willing to be a

investments of capital"

said.
Mitterand hopes such aid would do
something "to stabilize the price of
raw materials," including the oil
which France is short of, he said.
Baeyens said Mitterand had be­come
interested in a plan for peace
in the Middle East which was
recently proposed by Saudi Arabia.
' "The Saudi plan can act as a point of
departure for new discussions," he
said.
Next year the president will also
become the first chief of the Fifth
Republic to visit Jerusalem to
confer with the Israelis, Baeyens
said. He added Mitterand has

fit this def ense-mindedness does
not jean France is enamored with
Am^can pronouncements on
Eurqg, Baeyens said. He called a
recertstatement by Reagan that a
hucle* war could be limited to
Europ\ "worrisome." He said
many fcropeans have a "visceral
fear" %t "it's a question of the
Americas' battling the Soviets on
the backof the Europeans."
One over area in which the
French a j Americans do not agree,
is that o%merican policy in El
Salvador.'Here (in the United
States), unconsidered as a part of
the confronition between the free
world and <»mmunism," he said,
"butMitterad considers that if the
rebels are tiding toward Castro,
it's because <© one in the West
listens to ther,"
Baeyens said the recent Franco-
Mexican pronouncement on El Sal­vador,
which was not well-received
in the United States, said basically
to El Salvador that "we understand
you."
The attache also assured his
audience that foreign investments
would be "safe" during nationaliza­tion
in France. Those with invest­ments
involved in nationaliza­tion
''willbe recompensed,'' he said.
'Each time, the foreign interests
are protected."
Relations with the United States
"are on the whole doing better,"
Baeyens said. At the recent world
conference at Cancun, Mexico, for
example, French leaders were
pleased with Reagan's "thought
about the problems of the Third
World."
Descending interest rates in
America help relations, he added.

Street flooding caused by cracked pipe,
but buildings not likely to Humble in9
By Patricia Vick
Plainsman Staffwriter
The partial collapse of a drainage
pipe running underneath Cheshire
and Pridmore apartments on West
Glenn Avenue has caused some
problems, but the buildings are not
in danger of "tumbling in" as
recently reported by the Opelika-
Auburn News.
"The danger is not the pipe's
falling in; it's the flooding in the
street," George Pridmore, owner of
Pridmore Apartments, said. Every
time it rains heavily, that section of
West Glenn Avenue floods, he said.
At those times, policement block
off the street and re-route traffic
onto West Magnolia Avenue, he
added. A city crew is also sent over
during most rains to try to unclog the
pipe.
City engineer Rex Griffin said the
pipe is about 18 inches wide and is
made of non-reinforced concrete. It
varies from 3 feet to 6 feet deep and,
Griffin said, runs under one corner
of Cheshire Apartments and com­pletely
under Pridmore Apart­ments.
The pipe was constructed several
years ago before the apartments
were built, and is now cracked in
places. Pridmore said the pipe runs
under only one corner of his
building, and the rest of it is behind
the apartments.
The pipe has collapsed on several
occasions because of its weakness.
The most recent incident was this
summer under a parking lot. An
earlier cave-in, which occurred
either in March or April, was more
serious. This collapse created a hole
about 6 feet in diameter. He said the
front end of the car fell into this hole.
Griffin thinks the whole pipe will
eventually fall in if the problem is
not corrected. Both Cheshire and
Pridmore apartments could possi­bly
be threatened if this happened,
said Griffin.
The city has proposed putting
another drainage pipe under the
parking lot of Pridmore Apart­ments.
This project, said Pridmore,
would take about three days and
would be done between quarters.
Pridmore has granted an ease­ment
across his property to have the
city do the construction, but the city
has asked the property owners to
pay for the materials. Since
Pridmore feels the pipe is city
property, and it doesn't run under
his building, he won't furnish the
materials.

dedicated more to study and
research.
But more recently, a third type of
university has emerged "using
more of a management type of
approach," Kuykendall said. "The
language of the factory is used. In
the 1960s the student was looked
upon almost as raw material to be
refined and packaged by the univer­sity
and used by society.
"This form is more suited to the
complexities of society," Kuyken­dall
said, "but this corporate model
(of a university) is also impersonal
and separates the administration
from faculty and students."
"Tn. governance of a university,
mere are three possibilities for
control: students, faculty and
management," Kuykendall said.
"The best operation is one that
combines aspects of all three types
of universities," but "frequently
tension develops because these
three models are in contention with
each other," he said.
Externally, tensions can also
develop because there is a "certain
ambivalence to higher education in
the state," Kuykendall said. "At
Auburn, we have little or no control
over economic aspects" because
"the way we fund state universities
is so dependent on the economy."
Kuykendall said it was obvious
there were too many junior colleges
and lower level institutions in the
state, but "higher education has
become the whipping boy.
"We're called 'hogs at the trough'
and it's apparent there is some
disgust and disdain for what we're
trying to do. It's remarkable the
Legislature has been able to hold the
line on funding "because of the
undermining of special interest
lobbyists for other areas of
education.

Birnbach defines preppie lifestyle
IMl<>IOfiril|>liN : John Kcccl
PREPPEDOUT
.Birnbach autographs her million-selling preppy guide
By Buddy R. Davis
Assistant Features Editor
An hour late, Lisa Birnbach,
editor of the million-selling "Prep­pie
Handbook," finally arrived to
speak to a near-capacity audience in
the Foy Union Ballroom Monday
night, despite being "a sick
preppie."
Gazing out across a sea of neon red
sweaters, flagrant green pants and
a warehouse's complement of Lo-coste
shirts, Birnbach opened by
saying, "This is really intense.
"Look at you (the audience); I
mean it really blows me away,'' she
said.
Birnbach talked about the ways
and means of prepdom, recom-mendingpracticesandratihgthings
on their degree of preppieness.
' 'The idea of college is-to major in
something that has no practical
value," she said, adding that "col­lege
should be the happiest decade of
your life.
"Why work for money when you
can marry into it?
"But really, academics are so
trifling when you're in college.
"One of the most important things
you can absorb in college is alcohol.
You should drink serious quantities
of alcohol," Birnbach said.
Birnbach' s speech was greeted by
laughter and occasional hisses,
which she seemed unable to under­stand.
"What's this hissing?," she
asked, "Is this a nice thing to do?"
The audience, twice asked by
Birnbach to sing for a slide show she
presented, agreed hissing wasn't a
nice thing to do.
Much of the lecture and slide show
was on preppie fashion. "Preppies
are people who believe nature
belongs on fabric not outside.
Nobody but a preppie would wear
pink and green together because
face it, they (the colors) can cause
blindness," she said.
Ducks and facsimiles of ducks
"are the sacred cow of prepdom,"
she said, but preppies worship ducks
in a peculiar way. "They go out in a
field, shoot them or eat them. Some
of them just mount ducks," she said.
Birnbach also touted beer "as a
fashion accessaory. It looks good
with everything."
She listed more attributes of
preppies. "We vomit beautifully.
It's a rite of prephood where you
relieve yourself of all self-con­sciousness.
To actually barf with
somebody, that will create a bond,"
she said.
Throwing up is only one of the two
things that might happen when a
preppie gets drunk, "Either S-E-X
or B-A-R-F" will result, she said,
though "prep sex is really a
contradiction in terms. Its only
reason for existing is to create little
preps, smaller versions of yourself
who will wear smaller clothes just
like yours," Birnbach said.
Preppie music includes new
wave, The Talking Heads, the B-52s
the Rolling Stones, Devo and many
Southern bands, she said.
Other things to which the label
"preppy" can be applied include
many old television shows,
M-A-S-H, educational television,
anything produced in Britain and
old sitcoms.
Birnbach also listed academic
majors which are considered
preppie. "English is a very prep

Rural students getting second-class education?
By Skipper Wilson
Plainsman Staffwriter
Alabama's rural students aren't
getting as high a quality of education
as their urban classmates, and the
combination of rural community
attitudes and a bill now before the
state Legislature may keep the
situation from improving, an
Auburn researcher said.
Dr. John Dunkelberger, a pro­fessor
of rural sociology and agri­cultural
economics, studied Ala­bama
students' scores on the 1978-79
California Achievement Test
(CAT). The test is given to students
in grades one through 12 in areas of
math, language, reading and
spelling.
Dunkelberger found that by the
time a rural student reached the 12th
grade, test scores showed he was a
full yearbehind the 12th grade urban
student in education.
The gap between urban and rural
test scores was even greater when
the rural results were divided by the
amount of money each community
provided per student. He discovered
rural schools with $75 or less per
year in funding per student were
scoring in the eighth to ninth grade
range instead of on a 12th grade
level. Those schools where average
local funding per student was $75 to
$150 had scores somewhat higher,
while those communities which
spent $150 or more per student had
scores in the 10th to 11th grade
range.

The cause of this educational gap
between urban and rural schools lies
in the amount of money the local
school systems have available to
spend per student and the local
attitudes toward education. Dunkel­berger
said the counties with low
spending per student and low test
scores were among the poorest of
Alabama's 49 rural counties. He
said those counties "have a lower
tax base, and therefore it is difficult
to raise money for the schools
through tax revenues.
A proposal currently before the
state Legislature would lower tax
rates on farm and timber land, and
"this will hurt the rural school
systems because a large part of
their expenditures for their school
systems comes from these taxes,"
he said.
Another problem in generating
funds for rural schools "is that
sub-surface rights such as oil in the
Southern counties and coal in the
Northern counties are not taxed,"
Dunkelberger said. Instead, this
land is taxed as timber land or just
land, he said.
"Community values and family
attitudes" also stand in the way of
improving rural achievement test
scores, Dunkelberger said. In order
to upgrade their school systems,
rural communities "need to im­prove
local support of the schools
monetarily."
This increased financial support
of the local school system should be
more readily available when the
community reaffirms the idea' 'that
a quality education is one of the key
services a local community can
provide," along with emphasis that
a decent school will give its students
a good chance at success in life.
Dunkelberger said rural schools
could upgrade their programs and
achieve higher test scores by
"spending more money on each
student." A better balance between
urban and rural test scores should
come about if the state would "give
more money per student to those
poorer school systems to equate the
level of spending state-wide," he
said.
Another way to improve rural
school systems would involve the
establishment of a level of minimum
local support a community would
have to meet before qualifying for
state funds, he said. Such a mini­mum
level of funding the commu­nity
would have to meet "would
force these counties to raise their
levels of local support by either
taking some money away from
other services or increasing taxes,''
he said.
"If these schools are going to
catchup with the rest of the state, the
local attitudes need to change,"
Dunkelberger said. These rural
areas "will have to place a much
stronger emphasis on a quality
education and the greater chances
of success in life an adequate
education provides for the rural
student." N

Miss Glomerata
Pageant veterans, amateurs compete for title
By Monique VanLandingham
Assistant Features Editor
This year's contestants for the
Miss Glomerata Pageant range
from those who have held beauty
titles since the third grade to those
who have never entered a beauty
pageant. '
Tammie Warnke said she "never
dreamed" she would be chosen as
one of the top 20 Miss Glom finalists
although she has been in beauty
contests since she was 8 years old.
She was namedbeauty queen for her
high school and won numerous
pageants requiring a talent, inclu­ding
Miss Cullman County Fair,
Cullman County Maid of Cotton and
Miss Cullman County.
She participated in the Miss
Alabama Pageant, and although she
describes it as a "fantastic ex­perience,"
she says, "Itmeantmore
to me being in the top 20 of Miss Glom
than being in the Miss Alabama
Pageant. I guess because Auburn is
the school I go to."
She says she wins a lot of
scholarships through the pageants.
She has also received cash, in­cluding
$250 for Cullman County
Maid of Cotton and $250 for the title
she now holds, Farm Bureau queen.
"I use that money to help me
through college.
"I enjoy going out for this kind of
thing, obviously," she says as her
reason for signing up for Miss Glom.
"It also gives you more pictures for
a porfolio."
In contrast to Warnke, Pam
Robinson, another finalist, says she
never had any experience in beauty
pageants. "I decided I might as well
give it a shot since I'm a senior, and
it would be my chance," she says.
Robinson says some of her friends
persuaded her to sign up even
though she thought "there was no
way to I would win."
She was nervous about the pic­tures
for preliminary judging at
first, she says. "But the photogra­pher
made me feel at ease. I ended
up having a lot of fun with it."
Stacy Russell is another Miss
Glom finalist who is inexperienced
when it comes to beauty contests.
"Are you kidding?" she says in
response to the suggestion she
expected to be among the top 20. "I
was just plain shocked."
She describes herself as a typical
Auburn student and living proof a
girl doesn't have to be an ex­perienced
model to be selected as a
Miss Glom finalist. "I'm flattered
and excited, and I'll encourage
other girls to sign up in coming
years."
Rica Salmon, also in the top 20,
like Warnke, isnostrangertobeauty
contests. She was in her first
pageantat 16, and she won Alabama
Teen, a preliminary to Miss USA
Teen. She was named Lee County
queen and was second runner-up in
Miss Alabama USA. Currently, she
reins as Miss East Alabama.
The Auburn native says her
pageant experience has proven
beneficial, especially in attaining
confidence. "You learn to interview
and get up in front of people," she
says. "I've met a lot of people and
made a lot of good friends. "You
learn to deal with different kinds of
people."
She says she has also benefited
financially from the pageants she
has won.
"I think this is the first quarter
that wasn't already paid for by my
scholarships.
"I'm surprised abut being in the
top 20," she added, despite her
background in beauty contests.
"Beauty is all relative," she said.
"It's nothing if there's nothing
inside. It's a transient thing."
Even girls not selected for the top
20 finalists agreed trying out for
Miss Glom was a good experience
and "worthwhile."
"Pros" and amateurs of beauty
contest pageantry chosen as final­ists
will compete against each other
for the title of Miss Glomerata
Saturday. The pageant will be held
in the Foy Union Ballroom with a $1
admission.
Campus parking rezoned
The following changes are sche­duled
to be implemented in Univer­sity
traffic and parking by Nov. 23,
reported Campus Security.
Changes in parking areas — the
"B" zone lot off Duncan Drive
(across from the old Physical Plant
site) has been designated as resi­dential,
R-l parking. This lot will
remain a "B " zone in addition to the
residential parking. Students en­titled
to either a R zone or R-l zone
decal will be allowed to park in this
lot.
Two areas of the "C" zone lot
(Comer Hall lot) at the corner of
Roosevelt and Mell will also be
designated asR-i, residential park­ing.
This will benefit those persons
living in the Quad dorms. This area
will remain a "C" zone lot.
The dirt at the southeastern
corner of Miller and College streets
will be designated as "D" zone
parking area.
The intersection of Roosevelt and
Thach streets will be changed from
a two-way stop to a four-way stop.

' 'Mrs. T'' denied being addicted to
the " soap opera syndrome'' herself
but then admitted that she did like
'Dallas' on Friday nights.
Becky Williams, a senior in
organizational management from
Spanish Fort, Ala., admits she is
hooked and says she keeps up with
five different soap operas.
"If I don't get to see some of them
myself, I make sure I know what
happened on a show before the end of
the day," Williams says.
' 'At one time, I was trying to keep .
up with two soap operas aired at the
same time but on different net­works
," she says.
Williams said she would have her
television set tuned in on one
channel, while her suitemate would
turn on the other network's show.
She said she would alternate be­tween
the two shows during com­mercials.
Williams says she now finds using
the magazine "Soap Opera Digest"
an easier way to keep up with her
favorite soaps.
Super Foods employee Deborah
Norris says "Soap Opera Digest"
sells reasonably well at the store on
Gay Street.
"Right now, there are only four or
five of them left on the rack," she
says.
Called everything from a '"Star
Trek' soap opera" to "the best soap
opera on television" by Auburn
students', 'General Hospitafholdsthe
top spot nationwide, according to
Neilson. The 2 o'clock show draws
almost 12 million viewers across the
United States, including one million
18-to-24-year-old women and 400,000
18-to-24-year-old men.
An article in the magazine "Nut­shell"
cites'General Hospital's"
leading characters, Laura Baldwin
and Luke Spencer, as the primary
reason for the show's success. •
The two characters, played by
Genie Francis and Tony Geary,
provide a type of role model for
students, the article states.
Laura, the article says, is who
women "secretly dream of being
like."
Laura wants "to be the wild one.
Butunderneath, she'sagoodkid, the
ultimate mixture of innocence and
seduction...the ultimate dicho­tomy,"
the article states.
However, Luke Spencer amazes
everyone, the article says, by
emerging from the script as a sex
symbol.
From ptifip A -1
"Luke is not that good looking.
He's really skinny and he's balding.
He looks like a chicken.
"I guess there's hope for us all,"
the article states.
So as you rush to get a front row
seat at Foy Union, or in your own
room, remember you're not alone in
the soap opera syndrome, and who
knows? Luke and Laura may live
happily ever after.

the financial records of the school.
"They (the administrators) have
been talking about this for some
months," Allen Jones, archivist,
said. He added he thought public
pressure to know was the main
factor in the decision. The recent
court case, state law, pressure from
media, students and some board
members and threatened requests
to the attorney general for a decision
on whether Auburn had the right to
withhold the budget from the public
may have been contributing factors,
he added.
Jones added the state law was
explicit about University
budgets' being public record.
"I've been telling them for years
they don't have a legal leg to stand
on," Jones said.
He didn't mention who he thought
had threatened legal action.
'.. Jones said he will try to get the
^administrators to give him the full
budgets from past years. "I hope
they haven't thrown them away.
I'm going to contact them about it
jsobn," he said.
Bill Sumners, assistant archivist,
said the Archives had summary
departmental budgets from past
years because these were in the
minutes of Board of Trustees'
meetings, making them public re­cord.
However, Jones said these are
.often "confusing" and "raise more
^questions than they answer."
j ' . . There have been rumblings about
opening the budget to the public
since Dr. Harry M. Philpott was
president of the University, Jones
said. But. headded, "people weren't
questioning then as much as they
are now when there are budget
stringencies." He said he thinks
people are more suspicious now.
Jones said he thought the major
opposition to opening the budget to
the public has come from University
deans rather than faculty members.
One of the major controversies
concerns making faculty salaries
open to the public, Jones said.
Dr. John Kuykendall, presidentof
the University Senate, said he knew
of faculty who disagreed with the
decision to make the budget avail­able
to the public. Kuykendall said
he thought most of those who
disagree are members of upper,
level administration.
He said he thought the degree of
sensitivity to this issue increased
with the amount of trouble a person
could get into from it. He added
everyone "generally conceded it
was inevitable.
' 'The budget is a public document
and should be available to any
citizen of Alabama who needs it for
any reason.
"The faculty members who dis­agree
are basing it on private
privilege. I think the fact that we are
state employees takes precedent,"
he added.
Dr. Edward H. Hobbs, dean of the
School of Arts and Sciences, said,
"While there may be some negative
features found in this, we are all
public servants, and the public has a
right to know."
He added he has discussed the
issue with a few of his faculty
members but has heard no major
complaints.
