James says 'total vacuum9
troubles higher education

"I cannot tell you; there'snotone
member of the Legislature who can
tell you whether Auburn University
ought to be cut 10 percent or 10
percent added," said Gov. Fob
James in his address to the Faculty
Senate here Monday.
"That information is unknown,"
James added, "and when you have
that Vacuum, you create the worst in
a raw political situation. That is post
secondary education as I found it
when I got to Montgomery, Ala.,
three years ago."
James, who delayed the meeting
about 15 minutes to donate a pint of
blood in Auburn's blood drive, said
there is no vehicle or control
mechanism in the state with the
authority to lead post secondary
education where it ought to go.
He suggested the state should
either eliminate the Alabama
Commission on Higher Education
(ACHE) or clearly define ACHE's
job and authorize it to carry out that
function.
Dan Holsenbeck, Auburn's di­rector
of University Relations,
commenting on James' suggestion,
said,' 'Auburn has always supported
any attempt to strengthen ACHE."
Holsenbeck added he was taking
another look at the ACHE bill
because the administration may
have "some reservations about it as
it now stands."
After his initial address, James
responded to prepared questions
and then fielded questions from the
floor.
James was asked to give his
opinion on the recent faculty evalu­ation
of President Hanly Funder-burk
not yet made public. James
said, "In the cases of the new
presidents at Auburn University
and the University of Alabama, I
think in each case the presidency
was assumed under conditions not to
their making, and it would be
inappropriate for me to try to value a
critique of thatmatterunless I came
over here and lived for at least a
year.
"In all candor, I'm not in a position
to judge a survey that named every
conceivable element that may be a
factor in performance without
looking at it very closely," James
added.
A faculty member later res­ponded
to these statements by
asking James who he thought was in
a better position to evaluate the
president than the faculty who are
on the campus all the time. James
responded, "The evaluation
certainly has meaning, and those
concerns or compliments in it
should be conveyed to the Board of
Trustees and a decision rendered."
John Kuykendall, president of the
University Senate, said he thought
there was a disappointment among
the faculty that the response to the
evaluation question "was not well
focused."
Gordon Bond, president-elect of
the University Senate, added that
"maybe he did not want to say
anything that would violate the
confidentiality of that report."
James, commenting on waste at
Auburn University, said fringe
benefits constitute a large part of
hidden costs that have gotten higher
education in trouble in the state. He
cited an example that the state now
pays for two retirement programs
for university faculty.
If the proposal concerning re­tirement
plans before the Legis­lature
passes, university faculty
presently employed by the state will
choose between two retirement
plans, said James.
If they want to receive a higher
interest rate upon retirement, they
will have to put more money into the

AUs soap namesakes
Luke, Laura marry
By Betty Holder
Plainsman Staffwrlter
When people hear merely the
namesLukeandLaura, the first
thing that comes to mind is the
soap opera "General Hospital"
and its stars Genie Francis and
Tony Geary, who pushed the
soap's ratings to number one.
But oddly enough, "General
Hospital's" Luke and Laura
have counterparts in the love-liestvillage.
And even stranger,
Auburn's Luke and Laura re­cently
tied the knot.
Luke Johnson, 4 INM, and
Laura Adams, 3 AC, married
Dec. 12 in Knoxville, Tenn.
ABC's Luke and Laura were
also married little more than a
month ago.
"I think our lives are exciting,
but there are no scandals or
Scottie Baldwins,'' Luke says of
comparison to the show's duo.
Laura, who misses class oc­casionally
to watch the show,
keeps Luke faithfully informed.
He knows almost everything
going on, she says.
Luke and Laura's traditional
wedding was about as large as
the wedding of "General Hos­pital's"
Luke and Laura. About
600 people attended, Laura
says, and Luke had nine
groomsmen, while Laura had
eight bridesmaids.
Mexico, mentioned recently
on "General Hospital" is where
Auburn's Luke and Laura spent
their honeymoon.
"We had hoped ABC, the
channel that carries "General
Hospital" would find out about it
and give us a free honeymoon,''
Luke says. But unfortunately
that didn't happen.
Laura resembles "General
Hospital's" character, butLuke
doesn't look like his counterpart
on the show. Laura admits,
"I'm glad he doesn't look like
Spencer."
Everyone has picked up on the
odd coincidence, Luke says,
addingthe couple's friends have
been kidding them since they
started dating nine months ago.
Female faculty claim
wages 'discriminating'

. Auburn has its own' 'Love in the Afternoon'

Sex discrimination is practiced in
the selection of Auburn University
administrators; according to sever­al
women faculty leaders.
The absence of women in the
central administration and the
Board of Trustees was cited as
possible basis for a sex discrim­ination
suit by Mary Burkhart,
chairman of the Auburn Women's
Caucus, and Georgia Vallery, for­mer
national vice president for the
American Association of University
Women.
Sara Hudson, former Faculty
Senate president, said, "There are
no women in the central admin­istration,"
but added, "It's no
ground for a suit."
The three also noted home econ­omics
and nursing are the only two
schools with female deans.
Vallery stated, though she feels
there is evidence for a class action
suit against the University, it would
be difficult to tackle and may not
have the best results.' 'We shouldn't
go off with a class action suit. We'll
do more harm than good by that. We
should work from within instead."
Vallery said some instances when
they have discussed problems with
the administration, it's been after
the fact. But at other times, it tias
made a difference.
"I, for one, was being paid less
than a man with the same qual­ifications
, but that was rectified
eight years ago. I didn't sue for back
pay," said Vallery.
She said the main concern of her
group is the lack of women in the
administration and Board of Trust­ees.
"That> where our discrim­ination
is here."
Taylor Littleton, vice president
for Academic Affairs, said, "I
support the goal of getting qualified
women administrators. "Our hiring
requirements haven't led us,
through advertising and other
search procedures... to any women
candidates.
"I can't remember any highly
qualified and recommended women
offered for these positions," added
Littleton. "Theyhaven'tfoundthere
way yet into these positions as I'm
sure they eventually will."
Littleton said the University's
Affirmative Action program is
making a strong effort to look for
women administrators. "I hope a
qualified woman emerges when a
vacancy occurs. She certainly will
be given every consideration."

SGA calls zoning
By Matt Lamere
Assistant News Editor
The SGA senate passed resolution
Monday night to recommend a
change in Auburn's zoning ordi­nances.
Auburn zoning ordinance 601.3
prohibits two or more unrelated
students from living in the same
dwelling in four city districts in­cluding
zone R-2.
The resolution, initiated by Tim
Dorsey, off-campus senator, sug­gests
it is in the best interest of the
city that the Auburn Planning
Commission amend ordinance 501.3
to allow unrelated students to live in
the R-2 zone.
According to the resolution,
"Auburn realtors are knowingly
renting a great number of houses
and duplexes in R-2 zones to
unrelated students."
Dorsey said Bill Harklns, pro­perty
manager of Evans Realty,
told him it was a common practice
by realtors to rent dwellings in this
zone to unrelated students.
The ordinance is not enforced
unless a complaint is made to the
Housing and Zoning Department,
said Dorsey. Most Incidents of
students living in violation of the
ordinance are never reported, he
added.

Three Auburn students are facing
eviction next Monday because of a
neighbor's complaints and the city
zoning law.
Frank Burton, 4AC, Gary Bow­ling,
4EE,and Paul Presley, 2PN
said they were awakened Monday at
7:45 a. m. by an of f icial of the Auburn
Building and Zoning department.
He told them that they were in
violation of city zoning law and will
be forced to vacate their residence
1029 McKinley Ave. by Jan 25.
"He said he hated to do it, but he
seemed to enjoy doing it never the-less,"
said Burton. "He said he
doesn't agree with the law. If he
doesn't agree with it, why is it still
around?"
Auburn zoning laws exclude stu­dents
from living in four types of
residential areas: R-2, R-80, R-100
and R-125.
"We've had somewhere around
20-25 cases of eviction so far this
year," said Dave Harding, director
of building and zoning. "The ma­jority
of them are college students,
but not all," he said.
The three students were notified
on"Nov. 16, 1981, they were in an
illegal zone. Ordinarily, they would
have had 30 days to appeal the
Auburn Board of Zoning for a
variance which would allow them to
stay, but the 30-day limit ran out in
mid-December, during Christmas
break, giving the three more time to
appeal.
"Our realty agents knew about the
ordinance. They know they can rent
out anything to a student," Burton
said.
"As far as the city is concerned,
we can just live in the street," said
Presley. "We ought to move into
•city h all. If they're doing this to us,
they owe it to us," he added.
Bill Harkins, property manager
for Evans Realty, said they "didn't
realize" the three students were in
an illegal zone. "We're trying to find
them another place to live. They
(housing authorities)usually don't
enforce tne law, unless there's a
complaint,'' he said.' 'I'm sure there
are many other cases like this," he
added.
"Most of the cases we handle are
by complaint," Harding said. "We
try to notify owners in illegal areas.
Mostly neighbors complain; they
police their ownarea. And they don't
complain just because of noise.
They want their area to remain a
family area " and not an apartment
complex, he said.
The student's violation of the
zoning ordinance was brought to
light by Mrs. T.W. Ledbetter, who
lives across the street from them. "I
am the one who went to city hall.
I've lived here for 30 years, and I
don't have to put up with this kind of
thing. I'm not against students ;I'm
against the live band. If they had
never bothered me, I would never
complain," she said.
The three students are known as
"The Moderns," a self-proclaimed
"new wave" band.
"We could have lived there for­ever
if someone hadn't com­plained,"
said Presley. Burton said
the housing officer told him the city
has the power to enforce the law, but
that they don't police it, relying on
complaints instead to discover il­legal
housing.
The students haven't found a new
place to move to yet. "Our intention
is to be gone completely by next
Monday," said Burton. "Our realty
company has really made no effort
to find us another place. They told us
they can't do anything until we're
evicted."
Henry Henderson, legal adviser
for students, said students In such a
situation "have no way to appeal
and win. I personally feel that the
realtor has a certain amount of duty
to help find them another place, but
the students are responsible for
knowing the iaw," he said. He
suggests that students call the
Housing and Zone Department be­fore
signing the lease on a new
residential house.
"They (Evansrealty) admitted to
us that they made a mistake. They
said they feel responsible," Burton
said.' 'They told us that they thought
it would be all right for us to live
there since we specifically asked if it
were illegal or not before we signed
the lease.
"They said they didn't think the
city was enforcing that law any­more,"
Burton said.
"We've purchased a zoning
map,'' said Bowling.' 'That way we
can be sure that wherever we move
to is a legal place for us to
live."We're either going to raise
enough ruckus to get this law
changed, or we'll get the students
behind us."
of appealing the eviction to the City
Board of Zoning. If they fail to find
redress there, they may take their
case to State Circuit Court.' 'No one
has won such a court battle here
before, though," said Henderson.
If the students refuse to move,
they will face a fine of up to $200 per
violation and up to 30 days in jail.
Each 24-hour period after next
Monday at 7:45 a.m. will be counted
as a separate violation in this case.

Auburn history professor Glenn
Eaves, who taught at Auburn for 16
years, has been named dean of Arts
and Sciences at Mississippi College.
He will teach courses until the end
of spring quarter, assuming his new
duties in Mississippi after a six-week
vacation with his wife in
Europe, Eaves said.
Mississippi College "had a fairly
lengthy search process," Eaves
said, "and it completed negotiations
in November. The trustees met in
December and approved it."
Eaves came here to teach in
January, 1966, and said he has "very
much enjoyed" teaching here. "I
look forward to the challenge of my
new position," he said.
James Flynt, head of the history
department said, "I think it's a
great tribute to the department that
he (Eaves) was selected. I'm sad to
lose him." Flynt added his depart­ment
is already searching for a
replacement.
"Auburn has a good history
department," Eaves said. "I think
it's well-known throughout the
school. I think it will continue to rate
highly as one of the strongest
departments at the University.
"Auburn also has a very fine
student body. It is mostly courteous
and well-mannered. I have a high
regard for (Auburn's) students,"
Eaves said.
Eaves specializes in the 17th
century reformation and the renais­sance.
He has a bachelor's degree in
agriculture and master's degree in
history from Mississippi State Uni­versity,
a master's degree from
Peabody in educational admini­stration
and a doctorate in history
from the University of Alabama.
Eaves has served on the Faculty
Senate and is a member of the
honors faculty here. He has also
served on the Faculty Welfare
Committee, the University
Teaching Effectiveness Committee
and the Religious Affairs Com­mittee.
He was archivist for the Alabama
Academy of Sciences, is a deacon at
the First Baptist Church of Auburn
and belongs to the Alabama Baptist
Historical Commission.
Eaves has published about 40
articles In scholarly journals and
has published a book, "Henry VTHS
Scottish Diplomacy." he has re­cently
completed a manuscript on
Anglo-Scottish diplomacy, which he
plans to publish this month.
Flynt recalls Eaves enjoyed
teaching in 2370 Haley Center, an
auditorium. "It's difficult to get
young professors who can go into
2370 and do a good job," Flynt said.
Eaves said, "I have fond
memories of Auburn. I'll miss my
friends very much. I hope to keep in
touch."
District Judge rules athletes not in college to learn
By-Oave Bean
Managing Editor
A decision by a U.S. District
judge in Minneapolis last week has
stirred controversy among Auburn
athletic officials.
The principle in question, one 6th
U.S. District Judge Miles Lord
answered Friday, is athletes are
basically sent to a learning insti­tution
to play athletics and not to
better their education.
"If the principle is to hold up and
become applicable, colleges and
universities would have difficulty in
applying their academic cred­ibility."
said Dr. Wilford Bailey,
chairman of Auburn's faculty ath­letic
committee.
To explain this situation more
thoroughly, one must begin in the
cold and blustery city of Min­neapolis
at the University of Min­nesota.
The following story is accored to a
spokesman for the office of Judge
Lord -
Mark Hall, Minnesota basketball
player, is a senior this season and
has expressed a stray desire to play
professional basketball. He applied
for a degree at the beginning of fall
semester in general college equi­valent
to Auburn's general cur­riculum
degree. The admissions
committee accepted Hall; however,
the dean of general college rejected
him.
Hall then applied to the University
Without Walls (a University of
Minnesota program allowing stu­dents
to design their own academic
progress). The committee in charge
of this program accepted Hall.
The director of the programs
committee had received a memo
from the dean of general college
saying Hall had been involved in
some unethical academic practices
(i.e. copying someone's test).
After a second vote from the
program, Hall was again accepted,
but this time, the director vetoed his
acceptance.
In December, Hall took the Un­iversity
to court because, basically,
its actions were standing in his way
to a professional career in bas­ketball.
Big 10 eligibility rules require a
grade point average of more than
1.85, a certain amount of credit
hours and candidacy for a degree.
University Without Walls denied
Hall the last requirement.
Lord concluded Hall was treated
differently from most students, and
the reasons he was denied ac­ceptance
were apparently part of
some disciplinary measure.
The judge said Hall should have
been treated through disciplinary
measures and been given a chance
to answer his charges.
Because the school acted as such,
itwas damaging Hall'sfuture. Lord,
therefore, issued an injunction or­dering
Hall to be admitted to UWM
and making him eligible to play
basketball.
In issuing an injunction, Lord's
spokesman explained, the judge
must regard the harm to the player,
the hard to the player's future and
the harm to the public's interest.
Public interest has remained
neutral in this case, according to the
judge's office, because it demands
some form of professionalism from
the college players.
The player's future has remained
intact somewhat because he has the
chance to be looked over by profes­sional
basketball scouts in the
remainder of the season.
The school, however, has de­clared
Hall's admission is harmful
to the academic structure. The
judge's decision on this point is the
meat of the issue.
Student lobby expresses ALPs needs at capitol
Lord agreed Hall's admission
could possibly damage the univer­sity's
academic standing. However,
Lord said, even if it does cause harm
the school brought it upon itself
because Hall got a scholarship as a
basketball player for the University
of Minnesota and not as some kind of
scholarly students.
In essence, the judge's decision is
officially saying, the spokesman
said, universities and colleges are
signing athletes for their ability and
not offering incentive to study.
"The principle," Bailey said, "as
I understand it, is very unfortunate,
and I hope it will be overturned/'
Bailey said the NCAA recognizes
academic credibility for its athletes
as well as for other students. NCAA
requires a proposed grade point
each year, he added.
"The Southeastern Conference
has had a more strict academic
progress rule than the NCAA had
last year. Student athletes are
athletes, but they are expected to
want an education," he added.
Associate athletic director John
Cochran said,' 'I came to Auburn (as
a scholarship athlete) to play
football, but it seemed like a good
way to get an education.
' 'At Auburn, we try to get the best
athleteswe can,buttheyare going to
have to want a good education and
are going to have to do well to remain
in school," Cochran said.
The main reason Hall took his case
to court, according to the injunction,
was he needed to play basketball his
final season as a college athlete to
have a good shot at becoming a
professional.
"A lot of kids in the category of
good athletes," Cochran said,
"don't dream of going on to the
pros."
Jerry Zgoda, sports editor for the
school newspaper, said the press
heavily covered the first game after
the injunction just to see Hall play.
However, the masses were disap­pointed
because Hall never touched
the court (the basketball court, that
is.)

In response to Gov. Fob James'
recommended budget increase of 6
percent for Auburn University, 24
Auburn students lobbied at the state
capital Tuesday to make legislators
aware of Auburn University's
needs.
Ken Guin, SGA student lobby
director, led the student lobbyists.
Guin said his group's activities in
the capital were "the tip of the
icebergfor what we plan to pursue in
the coming year.
"We are trying to make the
legislators aware of our situation,"
Guin said. ' 'They do not understand
our problems which are directly
correlated with lack of funds. We
want to give them a student's
viewpoint and not just a handed-down
viewpoint from the admin­istration.
"Auburn has asked for an in­crease
of 30 percent, but I think at
least a 10 percent increase would be
adequate," Guin added.
Upon arriving at the capital,
students met with Speaker of the
House Joe C. McCorquodale, who
asked students to return later. He
said, "I believe my ideas are in line
with yours, but I need time to speak
with you later in more depth."
Lt. Gov. George McMillan then
listened to a presentation from the
students given by Wayne Lutomski,
assistant SGA student lobby di­rector,
and Guin.
Lutomski explained the need for
funding to aid research in higher
education by citing percentages
presented in a booklet prepared by
students for legislators last week.
Lutomski said 47 percent of
faculty members believe they have
inadequate time for research; 39
percent have extremely inadequate
time; 72 percent do not have
adequate supplies; and 51 percent
believe the resources are inad­equate
for the instructional re­search
of the students.
"All of this comes directly from
lack of funding," Lutomski said.
Guin asked McMillan if he thought
the Current Use Bill, which says
land is taxed based upon its current
use, would take money away from
education.
"There is a bill pending that
allows agricultural land to be taxed
based upon current use,"McMillan
said. The governor does not want
this; he thinks it would be better if
the land were taxed for its sub­division
purposes. I'm against this
idea; we don't want land forced out
of agriculture production.
"There will be not less, but more
money as a result of the governor
asking for land to be reappraised,"
he said.
The lieutenant governor's plan to
increase support for our education
system involves three ideas:' 'First,
increased local support for el­ementary
and secondary schools;
second, the state should receive
from oil and gas leases money to go
into education with a percentage to
higher education; third, stim­ulating
growth of our economy will
stimulate taxing," McMillan said.
McMillan told the student lob­byists,
"The practical suggestion I
have for you is to zero in on the
members of the House and Senate
who do not have higher education
instutions in their districts to better
inform them."
Students were introduced in both
houses and recognized on the floor.
After the session, they discussed the
needs of Auburn with various
representatives.
"I felt we were very successful
Tuesday in personal contact with
legislators," Guin said. "Some­times
we might not want to rec­ognize
this fact, but they do a good
job and get it done well. We
accomplished a lot."

Studying Sunday night at Ralph
Brown Draughon Library was tem­porarily
interrupted when the build­ing
filled with smoke and was
evacuated, said Sunday supervisor
Dale Elkins.
Auburn firemen found the smoke
was caused by the heating exhaust
blowing into the air-conditioning
intake on the roof, said Fire
Department Maj. Felton Langley.
Five trucks responded, arriving at
6:55 p.m.
The third floor desk clerk reported
smelling smoke, said Elkins. Ten
minutes later, smoke filled the first
floor. The circulation desk called the
Fire Department and then cleared
the building.
The library was opened at 7:28
p.m. without heat even though some
smoke was still visible, said William
C. Highfill, library director. High-fill
said both Campus Security and
the Fire Department assured him
the smoke posed no danger.
Highfill said the library recently
switched from natural gas to heat­ing
oil, and wind direction caused
the smoke to blow from the oil stack
to the nearby air-conditioning unit.
Buildings and Grounds worked on
the heating boilers Sunday night,
and natural gas heating was re­stored
Monday morning after
authorization was obtained from
Alabama Gas Co. in Montgomery.

Heflin:'America needs to rebuild'

GOTEAM
.. "like football team, America needs to rebuild."
By Virginia Martin
News Editor
If Americans could have what
they wanted, American would be
undisputably number one again,
U.S. Sen. Howell Heflin told an
assembly of Auburn High School
students Monday.
"Now I don't say that we're
number two, but I don't think we can
claim that we 're undisputably num­ber
one," Heflin said in his speech
that was part of a series of high
school town meetings started last
year to make students aware of
current events.
Heflin compared the nation to a
football team and said it needs to go
through a rebuilding period if it's
going to be number one again.

not only in military might but in the

Heflin said.
He said there are many

inflation, unemployment, the
energy crisis, high interest rates

Evaluation committee pleased with response

Although the results were not

Tuesday her evaluation committee
felt "extremely gratified at the

Committee seeks
award nominees
The Faculty Humanities Awards
Committee is seeking nominations
for the first Faculty Achievement
Award in the Humanities, said
Alexander Posniak, chairman of the
committee.
"The purpose of the award is to
recognize singular accomplishment
by a full-time Auburn University
faculty memberin teaching, writing
creative or scholarly works or
other endeavors that increase
knowledge of the humanities and
enoble life and human spirit,"
Posniak said.
The award includes a certificate
and a "prize" of $1,000 for "profes­sional
use," he said.
Recommendations from students
are welcome, Posniak said. All such
correspondence should be sent to
him in the department of foreign
languages in 8030 Haley Center.
The deadline for recommenda­tions
is Feb. l.
derburk was presented at the Board
of Trustees meeting.
Originally, the results were to be
reported to a three-member sub­committee
of the board. Instead,
Solomon said she made a 20-minute
oral presentation to trustees at the
December meeting. Absent trustees
received copies of the evaluation
through registered mail.
The trustees' formal response will
be made at their meeting Jan. 27.
Solomon said, when she made the
report of the evaluation, she didn't
know a letter was sent before the
meeting to the trustees asking them
not to take her seriously and to
disregard the evaluation.
She said she later received a letter
of apology from Arthur Wilke, then j
the president of Auburn's American
Association of University Prof-fessors
(AAUP), saying he, on a
personal basis, had urged the
action.
Funderburk was given a copy of
the report before the trustees met.
Gordon Bond, president-elect of
the Faculty Senate, said when the
evaluation results were processed,
"If the results are extremely good,
they will be made public rightaway.

"If the evaluation is very nega­tive,
they will send the results to
whomever obviously needs to
correct the problems," he added.
In other business, a resolution for
faculty representation of the
Auburn and Montgomery campuses
on the Board of Trustees as non­voting
members was passed unan­imously.
The student body presidents of
both campuses already serve as
ex-officio members of the Board of
Trustees.
The resolution requests Funder-burk's
personal and public support
and asks him to propose and defend
the motion at the next trustee
meeting.
Solomon said on behalf of Joseph
Molnar, an associate professor of
agriculture economics and author of
the resolution, the resolution is
four-fold.
One purpose is to communicate
between the faculty and the board
the content of meetings. Another is
to create a contact between the
bodies. Solomon added she was
"amazed some of those trustees do
not know a single member of the
faculty". The representative should
also present the status and recog­nition
of the faculty and extend
appropriate expression that the
Board of Trustees, as the governing
unit of Auburn, knows the faculty's
concerns.
Also at the meeting, Paul Parks,
dean of the graduate school and
vice-president for research, up­dated
a Nov. 10 resolution, saying
his first priority is to find a director
of the Computer Center.
From about 75 applicants, 12
candidates for the position have
been asked to present more infor­mation,
he said. Those 12 will be
narrowed to five or six at the end of
the month, and interviews will be in
early February.
A six-member committee is in
charge of the selection process.

'To foster the Auburn Spirit'
'Yes' to Fob's plans
Gov. Fob James, during his address here
Monday, outlined two actions he wants to take
in the Legislature this year that will be of
interest and help to Auburn University.
The first will be an effort to defeat a Current
Use Bill now pending in the Legislature.
That bill would make land taxable for its use
rather than for its location. Asjames explained,
an agricultural field in the middle of a highly
commercial area would be taxed at the lower
percentage for agricultural lands. The result,
he said, is a revenue deficit for local elementary
and secondary schools. When the time comes
to divide monies in the state Special Education
Trust Fund, these schools would take funds at
the expense of higher education. •
The Current Use Bill would only put more of
a burden on the SETF, already financially
strapped. We hope James can muster the
troops to defeat it.
The second bill many at Auburn will favor is
a rehash ofjames' proposal last year to strength
the Alabama Commission on Higher Edu­cation
. The governor said Monday he wants the
organization to have more power to coordinate
programs, new and old, and prevent and
eliminate duplication of academic programs.
The present ACHE has traditionally
supported Auburn (witness its proposal for
Auburn's 1982 -198 3 budget, which is virtually
identical to the University's). Strengthening
it should help the University, especially as it
attempts to advance those programs under the
"land grant" concept.
The governor has begun to win major
victories in the Legislature these last few
months. If that string continues with these two
actions, the university system in Alabama
would receive a healthy and much-needed shot
in the arm.
One more chance
The record-it's not out of the reach.
A slow day at the blood drive Monday had
Red Cross officials saying that the 1967 record
of 4,812 pints would probably not be broken in
1982.
However, at closing yesterday between
2200-2300 pints of blood had been donated,
and today, programs like the five-friend
appeal, where students are asked to bring five
friends with them, are being promoted to bring
the total to more than 4,812 pints at 6 p.m.
yesterday.
SG A Blood Drive Chairman Faye Prater said
the drive's concern is more than' 'just breaking
a record." Several students, she said, were
donating their blood in the name of Shane
Ford, a student who was injured in a hunting
accident. Prater said it took 31 pints of blood to
save his life.
So today, from noon to 6 p.m. at the Haley
Center lounge, get in the "spirit" with five
friends and give- -not only for Auburn's record,
but for someone's life.
Athlete vs scholar?
When college athletics were organized more
than a century ago, the original purpose was to
provide the physical training, part of the Greek
ideal for men.
As athletics become moneymaking and
bigtime, however, the emphasis on athletics
increased, while the emphasis on academics,
the other pan of the ideal, decreased. The two
trends were on a collision course and it appears
they may have met in court last week.
U.S. District Court Judge Miles W. Lord of
Minneapolis issued an injunction against the
University of Minnesota, which had barred
standout basketball guard Mark Hall from the
team because of academic ineligibility.
Hall's sports career has been outstanding;
he may well be drafted to play professionally.
His academic record, however, consists of a
D-average, turning in work done by others and
Policy

being refused requests to major in ' 'general
curriculum" or the "University Without
Walls" program.
Though Lord' s decision rests primarily on his
belief Hall was denied due process in the
academic process, the opinion he wrote with his
decision is a disturbing precedent.
"Athletes are given little incentive to be
scholars, and few persons care how the student
athletes perform academically, including
many of the athletes themselves," he wrote.
"In my opinion, the notion of the
student-athlete is a charade,'' he said in a later
interview. „
The decision means the judge believes the
role of an athlete in a university is only as a
sports participant; his role as a student is
secondary.
Though Hall won this case, other student
athletes in the future will suffer. Many of them
unlike Hall, will not have a chance to earn a
living with their athletic skills. If they cannot be
forced to hone their academic skills (the court
decision might mean the University could not
force them), many will neglect studies and
jeopardize future job opportunities.
The University of Minnesota is now deciding
whether to appeal the decision. If it does, we
hope the judges of the higher court will return
at least some of the ideal with which college
sports began.
Extraordinary effort
Last week, while most students were
enjoying two and one-half days off from
school, members of The Plainsman staff
worked longer hours than usual to produce a
newspaper.
Photographers trudged through the snow
for two days, gathering a library of photos.
Reporters wrote on the weather and other
stories, experiencing difficulty because most
contacts were unavailable.
Members of the staff even took it upon
themselves to take the paper to the students
Thursday, since it was unlikely the students
would come to the usual drop locations for
papers. A special contingency of staffers drove
through the heavy snow to ensure each dorm
had papers.
Social philosophers in this country tell us our
college age citizens wander aimlessly about
finding it difficult to commit themselves to
particular causes.
The members of this staff, however,
committed themselves to the cause of getting
you the information you needed last week.
Each one deserves a special thanks from the
student body.
i also add my thanks to the staff members.
Their hard work and dedication were more
than anyone could have anticipated and an
example to all. That example is one of working
together and winning against the heaviest of
odds. It is a true honor to be able to work with
these people.

James shows new sense of confidence
When Gov. Fob James came to address the
University Senate Monday, many observers
predicted the meeting would be filled with
fireworks, charges and counter-charges.
Instead, the audience saw a highly self-confident
governor who took control of the
proceedings, including the occasionally stormy
question-and-answer session.
Despite some rambling (at one point, when
James was asked how he viewed Auburn 30
years hence, he gave an extremely disjointed
response),the governor was confident, holding
the upper hand the entire time.
Some observers said the strong presence and
ability to field questions was the result of the
"politicization" of James. "Several people said
he is a much better politician now than three
years ago," said Dr. Gofdon Bond, president
elect of the University Senate. He has gained
much "political savvy."
But James' strong show cannot be attributed
simply to self-education in politics. The new
strength can be traced to three other sources, all
of which are stronger than "politicization."
First, is the recent success James has
experienced with the Legislature. He manipu­lated
that body easily in gaining passage of
almost all the measures he proposed during the
summer and fall special sessions. James had not
been able to list a long string of victories

previously; these wins naturally buoyed his
self-confidence.
The second reason for James' self-assurance
Monday is the strength of the legislative
package he is proposing this year. The program
is generally strong (including defeat of the
Current Use Bill, the Alabama Commission on
Higher Education reorganization plan and the
proposal for a revamping of employee pension
programs), and for the first time, they
unmistakably bear the mark of Fob James
throughout.
Finally, tne new confidence is undoubtedly
because of a belief the time has finally come for
his kind of political action. He spoke favorably of
the Ronald Reagan philosophy of reducing the
size of government before the Auburn crowd
and in his "State of the State" address last week.
He thinks Alabamians, who supported Reagan
overwhelmingly in 1980, understand and are
sympathetic to his similar attempts at the state
level.
With this newfound assurance, the natural
assumption is James will run again for governor.
Ironically, I believe success will be what keeps
him from attempting re-election. If James is
successful in the present session (I believe he
will be) , I think he will think he has done his job
for the state and will not throw his hat in the ring.
The reasoning behind this hypothesis is
rooted in James' past. As a successful chief
executive officer with a recreational products
firm, he enjoyed total control over operations.
With the Legislature, he has not been able to
have such a heavy hand; he will avoid having to
work with that body four more years unless he
feels he needs the additional time to get the
program he now proposes into law.
In January 1983.then, we may not only see a
new governor inaugurated, I believe we will
likely see Fob James in the Reagan admini­stration
at a high departmental post, probably in
commerce or transportation. It would be in such
a setting he could return to the life of making
policy without having to look behind his back at
the legislative body chasing him.
Such a turn of events would make James (and
Reagan, for the two get along well personally)
happy. He has one fight left with the Legislature
before he retires and returns to what he enjoys
the most.

(M&T SEEhl |M THE HIT MOVIE * THe J B K ?
New theatre needed for free movies
Langdon Hall should be replaced.
Its's the oldest building on campus, but, unlike
wine, age hasn't improved its function.
Langdon is used for free movies, occasional
films of the Auburn Cinema Society and large
meetings, such as the Faculty Senate.
It can still fulfill its role as a meeting room, but
as a theatre, it is sadly a failure.
It was never designed as a theatre, which is
apparent to anyone sitting near the back rows.
It is more than just a pity the UPC Films
Committee, led ably for the second consecutive
year by Debbie McAnnally, can bring us
outstanding recent and old movies, yet lack a
suitable place to show them.
Langdon can accommodate about 500 stu­dents.
The UPC generally shows each movie
eight times, twice a day through the latter part
of the week. If the theatre is full each time, only
4,000 students will get to watch the show. All
18,600 students, however, are paying for it.
For popular movies such as last week's
"Stripes," there is always an overflow crowd. A
safe estimate would be more than 400 students
didn't get to see the show, which doesn't allow
for people who missed one show getting in line
for another.
It is undeniable some students couldn't ?et in.
A few friends and I had to come nearly one and
one-half hours before one show, just so we would
have a seat.
What I would dearly appreciate seeing would
be our idle Student Activities Building funds
used to construct a new theatre, one designed as
a theatre. It is doubtful this construction will be
done, though just which building would be used
by more students is open to conjecture.
The seats in Langdon are truly horrid,
seemingly designed to cause discomfort while
watching movies and are certainly not designed
for anyone more than 6 feet tall, or with long legs.
This too should be corrected even if we don't
get a new theatre. But to put more space
between chairs or too put in wider chairs would
reduce the capacity of Langdon even more.
At the risk of being labeled Socialist, I propose
each student entering the theatre for a free
movie pay a nominal charge of one, thin dime.
Over a year's time, this could gross more than
$10,000. This revenue will not pay for a new
theatre but coupled with other student activities
f unds.perhaps the large contingency fund, which
is hardly ever touched, it could bring Auburn
something truly needed.
If we're going to have good movies, why can't
we have a better place to show them?
Looking back at 'Blizzard of '82'
Now that the hysteria of last week's snowfall
has subsided, we can regroup with our dignity
and try to determine why we behaved as we did.
You'll have to excuse me if I seem to lack
enthusiasm in our recent winterland, but I just
spent the last two weeks of Christmas vacation
in New Hampshire. New Hampshire is the word
"dull" at minus 10 degrees.
If you've never been up there, you cannot
possibly appreciate the full extent of the "snow
experience." For 14 days I shoveled snow, was
covered with snow, slipped on snow, fell in snow
and saw, thought and dreamed snow until I was
almost blind.
By the time everyone else in Auburn was
joyously celebrating the white flurry, I was on
the verge of doing something crazy.
School was then called off with an accumula­tion
of one inch.
In an official statement, the University said
classes were being canceled because getting to
school was next to impossible, and driving was
extremely dangerous.
So what does everyone immediately do? They
drive to school to play in the snow.
It's just as well that they closed school, since
they probably wouldn't have been able to hold
classes anyway—the campus was too crowded
with students.
All day long, fully grown adults rolled in the
snow and ran around in soaked clothing with no
intention of changing.
Generally speaking, Southerners are the most
refined, restrained and socially graceful people
in the country but just whip a little snow on 'em
and it's idiot-time.
To avoid this tendency in the future, we need
to reflect on how we behaved as opposed to how a
person accustomed to snow behaves.
First, there were the two girls I saw running
out of their dorm laughing inanely. They fell to
the ground, scooped up a handful of snow and ate
it.
This is all wrong, not to mention peculiar. As
anyone from upNorth will tell you, the object is to
make someone else eat it.
Back on campus, hundreds of students were
raiding the cafeterias. They stole all the trays
and used them as sleds. There were even those
who took the forks, too, for ski poles.
Again, all wrong. You'd be surprised at how
much more grown-up you'd look on a real
children's sled.
FoodServicesmade a mistake at this point, by
issuing an appeal for the trays to be returned.
Obviously they don't understand what this does
for a person's appetite. They can't honestly
believe I'm going to run down to War Eagle
cafeteria next week and say, "Oh yes, serve me
food on one of those trays that someone has been
sliding around on with his wet rear."
A few guys in my apartment building also
blew it. They drank an incredible amount of beer
one night and stepped outside to write their
initials in the snow. I won't say exactly how they
wrote their initials in the snow, but it was in poor
taste and, once again, all wrong.
The next day, while my friend was driving me
to the store, a slush-ball fie w in the open window
and struck him in the ear. He lost control of the
car and slammed into the back end of a parked
Buick.
Then, as a person not used to snow, he
panicked. "What'll we do? Let's take off and hope
they don't catch us!"
"All wrong," I said. "We must do the ethical
thing. Pull over, act concerned, leave a note on
the windshield with Steve Farish's phone
number and leave."

Professor explains AU metallurgical program
Throwing snowballs at cars
endangered drivers, students
Editor, The Plainsman,
Well, we've all had a fun three days of snow
and ice. It was quite beautiful and cold, and I
enjoyed it as I know all of the students on campus
did. In fact, you students enjoyed it to the point
of creating potentially dangerous situations.
Since most of you were not in cars but were
lined up and down the streets of Auburn on foot,
you apparently were not aware of the danger
you were creating to yourselves by running out
in front of cars and throwing snowballs at them.
Most of us in the South are not used to this kind of
weather and therefore make unsafe drivers. A
car cannot stop on a dime on ice and snow; nor is it
safe to swerve to miss a person in the middle of
the road. It was quite unnerving after I had been
on the road 40 minutes already, trying to get
from Opelika to Auburn, to have students in the
road and snowballs thrown on the windshield
right at my face. You could have endangered
many people by your careless actions.
Please, if we have another "Southern
blizzard," stay in your own yards, off the streets
and throw snowballs at your friends!
Elizabeth Hardy
Auburn
Editor, The Plainsman,
Inthe Jan. 14issue(page A-3),itwasreported,
"Alabama has mineral and metallurgical
program; Auburn does not." This letter is
intended to set the record straight.
Materials engineering (MTL) at Auburn is a
fully accredited, degree granting program with
a faculty from the schools of Engineering and
Arts and Sciences. It is a development of an
earlier program in metallurgical engineering.
MTL majors have a student professional society
sponsored by AIME (The American Institute for
Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engi­neers)
and an honorary, Alpha Sigma Mu,
sponsored by ASM (The American Society for
Metals). MTL graduates have taken positions in
the basic metals, electronics, aerospace, nuclear
power equipment, plastics and manufacturing
industries. Locally.MTL graduates are in
supervisory engineering positions in the Ampex
and Uniroyal plants. One of the most recent MTL
graduates accepted a position as an engineer in
charge of non-destructive testing with an
engineering operation of the Exxon Company at
a starting salary of $33,600 per year.
Several of our MTL graduates have com­pleted
advanced degrees at other universities,
including Columbia, MIT, RPI, Georgia Tech
and the University of Florida. One has
completed his master's degree at Auburn with
courses on the main campus and research, on a
strictly metallurgical tijpic, performed at
Southern Research Institute in Birmingham. He
is presently working toward his doctorate in
materials science at the University of Florida.
Another graduate obtained both his master's
and doctorate degreesirom Stanford University
in materials science, went on to positions of
responsibility (and accomplishment) with Wes-tinghouse
Hanford Engineering Laboratories
and with the Department of Energy (on loan
from Westinghouse). He has just joined the
department of mechanical engineering to teach
and develop research in the materials engi­neering
program at Auburn University.
The materials engineering program is listed in
the AU Bulletin. The major courses and the
faculty are also listed. We encourage all students
with an interest in engineering (doing things
with materials and energy) and structural
factors (why a certain arrangement of the parts
will work best) to look into materials
engineering.

Christianity a viable, 'well-documented' faith

Regarding Michael Belcher's letter of Jan. 15,
I agree with the motive of his letter. It does little
good for someone to preach the immorality of
selling pornography, for "printed prostitution"
was born of the camera and will parall its
existence. It is a principle of wisdom to only
speak against those wrongs which may be
changed, not the case here.
However, it is not correct for Belcher to

Editor, The Plainsman:
I want to express my apppreciation to the
students, faculty, and staff who responded so
positively during the severe weather conditions
we experienced here at Auburn last week. Many
of you worked long hours keeping theUniversity
safe and as well prepared as possible.
Throughout the worst periods, I found many of

studying. This is typical of the dedication
Auburn people possess for their profession and
personal goals.

condemn Christianity totally, using only the
most blatant discretions as criteria. For we see
in H Timothy 2:16 God's warning against
believing in false doctrines. Witch hunting and
papal supremacy are simply examples of
institutions gone astray, not the beliefs upon
which they are based.
Belcher has stated the quite rampant belief
God does not exist. Other implications in his
argument are quite minor in comparison, e.g.,
advocacy of pornography as being healthy.
To believe in God. one must helieve the Bible is .
based on documents and not the flamingquiTl of
radical idealists. Both the Old and New
Testaments are abundantly documented from
historical sources, Christian and non-Christian.
The New Testament, especially, is difficult for
many to accept. It is therefore important to
remember it, too, is documented.
Thus, what we have is a well-documented
book difficult for people to believe in simply
because it records "miracles" and was promoted
by the radical followers of a social outcast. Let us
not forget this struggle to believe was intended
by Jesus Christ. "I came not to send peace...For I
came to set a man at variance against his
father...."
It is not easv to believe a doctrine demanding
suppression of all human flaws and exhorting the
submission of physical pleasure to mental
tranquility. The real reason for most disbelief is
simply it is easier to submit to pleasure than to
discipline the mind to accept the more "boring"
qualities as supreme.
- As for thechurch's being a legislator, the New
Testament is one constitution which has
remained unchanged and comprehensive in
detail. One should read and decide for himself
whether the morals contained therein are suited
for peace or grief. Historically, church monopoli­zation
closely paralled the level of education-need
I say more.
Belief in God is a profoundly personal
experience. One must decide, alone, whether the
Bible is a plausible document. If he finds it
impossible to believe from a position of strength,
then he must inquire from a stance of weakness,
A question which screams for an answer is./
"How could Jesus, as an ordinary human, hav«,/
possibly possessed the natural wisdom to speatf
the truths he did?"
First, I assume you agree on Jesus's wisckjh.
Do you not believe peace, love, forgivewjss,
helpfulness and charity are among the ultimate
virtues? Man's failure to realize these quali ies is
no reason for their condemnation. To talieve
otherwise is to legitimize war and all soci^evils.
Only a person born of a higher authority could
speak in the true, simple and voluminou sty le of
Jesus.
Regarding Belcher's comment on churches,
"monopolizers of truth and legilators of
morality," this is actually a muriane issue
today. The church's purpose is tc spread the
Gospels' teachings and explain thar meaning.
With the excellent study Bibles aailable today
and numerous study aids, the oJy excuse one
has for being "spoon-fed" the wtfd of God is an
undisciplined and shallow mim.
"Can I afford not to belief?" Once he is
convinced the answer is "no," intellectual efforts
to disprove the Bible will str*gthen his faith. It
isthenasmallsteptothe reaction God's law is
to be actively clung to as/a tightrope across
Niagara Falls.
Strong lobby would be success

Editor, The Plainsman,
The snow. It was wild, wasn't it? Made me do a
lot of things I would not have ordinarily done.
No, I did not attack the president's mansion
with molotov sno wballs, but I did watch the local
Montgomery news, which was probably a bigger
mistake. Normally I do not watch much TV, and I
especially like to stay away from the big media
rating and dollar-hungry news programs.
However, last week was an exception.
"Are we going to have classes? Should I break
open this other six or not?"
What caught my attention during the
broadcast was not the weather and the
announcement the Southside Eureka' Baptist
Church's water pipes had burst, but rather a
boisterous group of Alabama A&M faculty and
students diligently protesting outside the state
capital before Gov. Fob James' "State of the
State" address.
It seems as if these folks at A&M, a
predominantly black school near Huntsville,
were a little riled at the amount of money James
and the state had allocated them.
My first thoughts when I saw their banners
and sound systems were "Heck, A&M's fighting
for what it needs. Auburn ought to be fighting
over there, too."
Oh, the light bulb was turned on. President
Hanly Funderburk should let school out on
Friday; everybody should pile into pickup
trucks, head over to Montgomery and get all the
money we need. We'd show A&M who's boss,
and if any Tuscaloosa law school boys showed up,
why,we'd ship them, too!"
The ridiculous thing about this type of
thinking is, in a way, it works. Just look at
Washington and see how lobbying groups
control Congress. It is almost similar to a mother
feeding only her babies who cry the loudest.
With the incredible number of colleges in
Alabama, there surely are a lot of mouths
around.
Until our leaders come out with some master
plan (and to be fair, Fob has at least mentioned
such a term), we will just have to continue
"playing raw politics" to get what we need.
Maybe that is life; however, it surely doesn't
seem sensible. • • • •
Oh weil, we-have to try, so' good' luck to our
SGA Lobby Association. Somebody ought to
warn it about N.F. Nunnely State College boys,
though.
Who knows what they might be up to?

Snow days may be made up
By Kaye Dickie
Plainsman Staffwriter
Classes missed when Auburn
University closed last week because
of bad weather conditions may be
made up Feb. 20 and March 12 at the
discretion of teachers, the ad­ministrative
council announced
Tuesday.
The councU said classes missed
Wednesday wUl be made up on Feb.
20, and classes missed Thursday
will be made up on dead day, March
12. Finals will begin as scheduled.
Deans and department heads will
be responsible for coordination a
schedule for each school, said Dr.
Taylor Littleton, vice president for
Academic Affairs.
The councU said courses taught in
several sections should conform to a
common plan.
Littleton said, "Professors In
some courses, especiaUy those
taught by lecture-discussion, may
elect not to use a formal make-up
day."
He said professors may require
outside reading or assignments and
may reduce the number of topics
addressed in their lectures for the
remainder of the quarter.
Professors should inform their
classes of possible make-up ar­rangements
as soon as possible, the
council said.
In addition, the councU encour­aged
professors who usuaUy hold
informal group sessions outside
published class houra to continue
such arrangements.
The council said it anticipates
missed laboratory instruction will
largely be made up on those days.
Jerry Ray, assistant director of
University Relations, said a number
of days were proposed by the council
before a decision was made.
"After a few minor points were
changed and added, the proposal
was accepted withoutobjectlon " h"
said.

The 61 member schools of the
College Football Association are
now in a holding pattern, waiting for
decisions in two court cases, Dr.
John Cochran, associate! director
of athletics, said Tuesday. .
The CFA, made up of "major
footbaU-playing schools," was
formed about six years ago "to act
as an organization which could voice
the concerns of those member
institutions," Cochran said.
This fall, the organization gained
noteriety when it challenged the
football television contract the Na­tional
Collegiate Athletic Associa­tion
negotiated with ABC and CBS. A
frospective deal between the CFA
£«d NBC fell through, however,
w^en not enough CFA schools voted
toWpport the organization's de­fying

two suits, Cochran said,
{e the question of whether the
Jual schools or the NCAA has
property rights" to those
televised football games.
One sift, filed on the behalf of the
UniverAties of Oklahoma and Geo­rgia,
wi\be contested in a federal
district fcurt in Oklahoma, wliile
the other involving the University
of Texas, Will be heard in a state
court.
If the declions are in favor of the
individual *hools, new TV con­tracts
could * negotiated, Cochran
said. He addelhe thought this would
not come abfct before the 1982
football seasoil
CFA schools\including Auburn
had voted to re j e% the NBC contract
"because of theltrength shown by
the NCAA at a m*ting" two weeks
before the expiation of NBC's
contractoffer. TheWCAA said' 'Any
attempt to make qntracts on our
own would be consi*red an infrac­tion
that could mean %nctions could
be leveled.
"At the present tinjj, we have a
very good relationshp with the
NCAA," Cochran said.*'We do not
want to jeopardize thJfc relation­ship."
Even without favoraile court
rulings though, schools msy be able
to negotiate something m*e than
the present TV time, he sari:
' 'According to what the NC4A has
worked out with CBA and VBC,"
Cochran said, "games mu\^ be
played and must end before 7 jjjn.,
which means prime time one Sat­urday
evening is open."

age with CBS and ABC to televise
prime-time games," Cochran add­ed.
"It is my understanding NBC
could be involved."
CFA schools are upset with the
NCAA football TV package for
several reasons, decrease in per­centage
of appearances for member
schools on TV, funds from TV
revenues used for purposes other
than those involved with it, a decline
in ratings and the property rights
question, Cochran said.
At the NCAA's annual meeting
last week in Houston, some efforts
were made at compromise, he said.
A resolution supported by CFA
schools to make cable casting and
televising property rights of the
individual schools was defeated.
However, a resolution requiring all
votes be approved by a majority of
Division I-A schools (many of which
belong to the CFA) passed the first
stage of commitment to the NCAA's
counsel, from which it will be voted
on at the next meeting. Now.smaller
division schools, which outnumber
the l-A schools, can win votes which
they cast all together.
In addition, Cochran said, the
NCAA will expand its TV Football
Committee, "which would, it ap­pears,
give more control to the
Division schools."

Discrimination
Sex discrimination was in the
Alabama news recently when 117
women teachers won a $1 million
class action suit against the Un­iversity
of South Alabama Dec. 28.
The suit was based on male and
female faculty salary differences.
Attorney for the plaintiff Larry
Meneffee said the case was preced­ential
in the size of the settlement
and established that a class action
suit can be successfully brought
against a university. Menefffte
added he hadn't heard of any plans
for similar cases for Auburn.
The first thing to look at in a
discrimination case would be the
male and female salary statistics,
said Meneffee.
The August 1981 issue of Academe
published the American Association
of University Professors' (AAUP)

Proposal to cut off loans
should not affect Auburn
By marine Liveiy
Plainsman Staffwriter
Auburn should notbe affected by a
recent proposal by the U.S. Depart­ment
of Education to cut off or
reduce National Direct Student
Loans to universities with a default
rate of more than 10 percent.
"Auburn University has never
been over the 10 percent default
rate," said Larry Ridge way, di­rector
of financial aid.
"As of June 30, 1981, Auburn's
default rate was 6.59 percent,"
Ridgeway said. The default rate is
unpaid or overdue money from
student loans.
' 'What the government has said is
default rates must be under 10
percent, or proposed rules will cut
off or reduce federal money going to
the schools. The government wants
institutions to bring their default
rates under 10 percent by jacking up
collection figures," said Ridgeway.
"The average default rate per­taining
to institutions is 12 percenfr,''
caid an employee of the U.S.
Department of Education. "If a
school has below 10 percent, it will
receive federal money; if the de­fault
rate is above 10 percent, the
school will not get any, or it will get a
reduced amount of Federal
money."
Ridgeway said, "Universities de­termine
an x amount of money they
should be able to lend and then take
away collection differences from
federal money needed; all the
government is doing is playing
around with the collection figure.
"National Direct Student Loans
began in 1958 to provide federal
money to needy students for the cost
of attending universities. When the
students finish school, they repay
the loan for the use of new students,''
said Ridgeway.
Two AU graduates killed recently
in unrelated airplane crashes
Two Auburn graduates were
killed recently in separate airplane
crashes.
Capt. Joseph "Pete" Peterson
Jr. was killed Monday in Nevada
when his jet collided with three other
jets of the U.S. Air Force Thunder-bird
precision flying team.
Peterson, 32, was the first black to
receive a commission from ROTC at
Auburn.
While at Auburn, he was an
employee at Ander's bookstore for
more than two years.

male and female faculty salary
averages. According to these
figures, Auburn male professors
make 8.4 percent more than female
professors; male associate pro­fessors
make 5.9 percent more than
their female counterparts; as­sistant
professors' salaries are
equal, and male instructors make
8.7 percent more than female
instructors. The University of
South Alabama figures for the same
categories are 8.4 percent, 8.4
percent, 9.8percentand 11.5percent.
Meneffee said after looking at
these statistics, the next step
"would be an analysis of how
employment decisions are made,
and are there merit factors included
in the salaries." These statistics
alone may or may not indicate
discrimination, said Meneffee.
Grady Cox, Auburn University
executive vice president, said,
"We've tried to pay everyone on an
equal basis " but declined further
comment.
Hudson said the University is
working to narrow the gap between
male and female faculty salaries,
but there need to be women in the
administration. "This is where the
higher paying positions are," said
Hudson.
On male and female salary dif­ferences,
Vallary said other factors
would have to be considered, such as
tenure and publishing history.
"We'd have to answer those
questions to be sure ...J think we need
more investigation.
The South Alabama decision
would help a suit against Auburn
University, said Vallery, but the
women would be better off talking to
the administration and working
within the establishment.
Vallery said there are individual
discrimination suits being brought
against the University, and any
salary disputes would have to be
done on a case basis such as this.
"We need groups like the
Women's Caucus to monitor things
like this," she said.
Burkhart said the caucus would be
interested in a possible suit, and the
precedent at South Alabama may
help.
She commented the male-female
salary differences "definitely look
discriminatory to me" but added
one would have to see if women of
equal merit were being paid less.
"I don't want to say reasonable
grounds because I don't know if that
would be legally correct, but there
certainly are some areas where
Auburn isn' t what it should be," said
Burkhart.
The caucus would like legal
advice to see if there are legal
grounds for a suit, said Burkhart.
"If there were, there would be a
number of women eager to jump into
it."

Cobb was killed Jan. 13 when the
plane in which he was a passenger
crashed into the bridge spanning the
Potomac River after taking off from
National Airport in Washington,
D.C. Seventy-eight people died in
that crash.
Cobb, who was stationed at Mc Dill

program, added James. If they want
to continue into the program what
they are paying now, then they will
not receive the higher interest rate
upon retirement, he said.
James also said any faculty or
state employees hired after Oct. 1 of
this year will have no choice; they
will receive the plan that pays the
lower interestrate upon retirement.
James said, "I don't believe the
state can continue to fund the
present retirement programs;
they're not actuarily sound."
He said Auburn can still cut some
more in a number of places to bring
down spending.
Grover Jacobs, financial adviser
to the president, responded, "We've
been through three years of pro­ration,
and as a result, we have
reduced budgets over this period.
"We would have to look very
closely to find any other places to
cut.Butrightoffthetopofmyhead.I
would say there are no other places
to cut without impairing essential
programs," he added.
"We need to pay competitive wages.
That goes without saying.
.. "I would hope within a year faculty
salaries will be competitive."
He added he thinks "these hidden
costs are just flat out of line."
Kuykendall commented there is
"a general mixture of opinion
among the faculty" on these pro­posals.
"Whatever the Legislature does
will be reviewed very carefully by
university faculties before he (the
governor) signs it," he added.
James said his administration is
researching and will continue to
research how appropriations are
being spent in state colleges and
universities.
Holsenbeck said, "I really don't
know what areas he was talking
about; we would be obligated to take
a look at them.
"I think we are doing the best job
we can," he said.
James, responding to a question
regarding the "non-competitive
nature of Auburn's faculty sala­ries,"
said "That's not good. We
need to pay competitive wages. That
goes without saying.
"I would hope within a year
faculty salaries will be competi­tive,"
he added.

AU to receive royalties from logos
By Patricia Vick
Plainsman Staffwriter
Needlework kits, fashion frame
sunglasses and orange-and-blue
jelly beans-these are only some of
the items Auburn University will
soon be receiving royalties from.
Under a new Alabama law effec­tive
Jan. 1, Auburn has registered its
name and distinguishing marks
with the secretary of state.
The marks have been registered
in surrounding states as well as in
Illinois, New York and California.
The laws make Auburn's logos
marketable and protect the Univer­sity's
rights to them.
Dr. Grover Jacobs, financial,
adviser to the president, said con­tracts
with manufacturers have
already been signed, and Auburn
has now expanded its market on a
national and international basis
with International Collegiate Enter­prises
of California and its affiliate
in Japan.

.. Auburn logos bring aid to Auburn finances.
According to John Burgess,
Auburn's director of business ser­vices
and purchasing and dire ctor of
the registering program, "The Jap­anese
market is phenomenal.
"The key to trade marking is
national accounts," Burgess said.
He added the University was cur­rently
negotiating with 55 major
suppliers and was in the process of
entering into contracts with several
of them. .
Auburn receives royalities of 6.5
percent on negotiated contracts and
royalties of 6.5 to 10 percent on
national and international con­tracts.
Burgess is also trying to obtain a
copyright for Auburn's fight song.
The marks now registered are:
the Auburn University seal, the
word "Auburn" in various combina­tions
of orange and blue, the letter
"A" with an eagle flying through it,
War Eagle, Auburn University, the
letter "A" interlocked with the
letter "U" and Auburn Tigers.
The newly licensed products,
Burgess said, "will be of top quality
and will be marketable." These
items will be available in a special
area of the University Bookstore.
With seven marks registered in 21
classes (types of merchandise) for a
total of 147 registrations, the total
cost for registration in Alabama was
$4,410.
Burgess added, "I. hope to have
our money recovered within six
months."
Burgess said he does not know
where the revenues from the royal­ties
will go, but when the reserves
are adequate, the administration
will decide.
Few major problems caused by snowy weather
By Kaye Dickie
Plainsman Staffwriter
Although five inches of snowfall in
Auburn last week caused several
University employees to work over­time
, it caused few serious problems
fo the campus and its students, said
several University service officials.
;-Frank Hudson, supervisor of
grounds maintenance, said nine of
his employees worked all night
Tuesday and Wednesday spreading
tons of sand dh icy streets and
sidewalks.
Seven men also worked overtime
Saturday spreading sand till the icy
conditions were under control,
Hudson said.
'' Some men worked a 56-hour shift
during the snow, shoveling sand and
helping the plumbers fix pipes," he
said.
Hudson said his employees
brought in some of the old
mattresses from Magnolia Hall to
sleep on.
' 'I sent out for food and called my
men in about every two hours so they
could get some coffee. They rested
from about 2—4:30 a.m. and were
back out again," he said.
Hudson's department worked
with Campus Security in answering
calls about slippery roads. "Only
one street had to be closed Tuesday
night because it was so iced over
even sand couldn't help," he said.
Paul A. Kearney, director of the
Physical Plant, said the plant was
caught unprepared by the snow, but
no serious problems were reported.
"We had to replace some broken
pipes and burned-out electrical
fuses, but running water has been
restored to the buildings, and we
didn'tlose any power lines, "he said.
The only reported heating
problem was in Haley Center, and it
was minor, Kearney said.
There was some shortage of
manpower at the Physical Plant,
but "the people we really needed
were here," he said.
Chief J.L. Walton said Campus
Security "had a surprisingly small
number of calls" during the winter
storm.
"Most of the calls we got were
complaints about a small group of
students throwing snowballs in
buildings all over the campus and
ruining people's food," he said.
"We worked a full crew overtime
to handle the phone calls we were
getting,'' Walton said. But when the
snowballs stopped, so did the calls.
Campus police had to answer a
few calls from people with cars
stuck in the snow and slush, but
Walton said, "there were no more
automobile accidents reported than
usual.
"We sort of enjoyed the snow," he
added.
But many people didn't enjoy the
snow because of illness and acci­dents.
Drake Student Health Center,
open only for emergencies Tuesday
through Thursday, treated 236
students.
Judith Hood, director of the health -
center, said accidents weren't as
numerous as weather-related ill­nesses.
"There were a few cases of
students slipping and sliding on the
ice and getting hit in the face with
snowballs. We saw more cases of
fevers, colds and acute illnesses
than usual because of the weather,
and we're still busy," she said.

ALT faculty may see some tax deferment
By Kim Murphy
Plainsman Staffwriter
University employees may soon
be able to defer withholding taxes
on their contributions to the Ala­bama
Teachers Retirement System
(ATRS).
Dr. Gary L. Waters, assistant
professor of the accounting and
finance department, said,
"Employees' contributions to
ATRS will not be subject to with­holding
of taxes. Employees will
begin paying taxes when they start
receiving retirement benefits."
Auburn's financial officials have
been working closely with the
financial department of the Uni­versity
of Alabama to coordinate the
program, President Hanly Funder-burk
said. "Because of the legal
expertise available at Alabama, it
was determined it would act as the
catalyst in securing authority from
appropriate state and federal
agencies."
The University of Alabama has
received verbal approval from the
Internal Revenue Service but not
written approval. However, it is
preparing to implement their plan.
Now, employees are paying taxes
on their contributions to the ATRS.
If the tax sheltering proposal passes
the Board of Trustees, it will result
High schools

The first Arts and Sciences-Busi­ness
Day will be from 9 a.m.-3 p.m.
tomorrow on campus.
The events, modeled from Agri­culture
and Engineering days, will
attract about 50-100 high school
students from across the state, said
Eric Kennedy, president of the
School of Arts and Sciences.
The School of Arts and Sciences
will sponsor the morning program,
Kennedy said. It includes an ad­dress
by Dr. Taylor Littleton, vice
president for Academic Affairs, a
slide show, a speech by Dean
Edward Hobbs of arts and sciences
and departmental exhibits, he said.
The afternoon schedule will in­clude
an address by Dean George
Horton of the School of Business and
presentations by six business de­partment
heads, said Thad Mc
Cormack, president of the school.
in more take home pay for the
employees.
Instead of paying taxes on contri­butions
now, employees will pay
taxes on them after retirement.
"For most people, this will result
in less taxes because most indi­viduals
are in a lower tax bracket at
retirement," Waters said.
Grover T. Jacobs, financial
adviser, said funderburk has ap­pointed
a committee to investigate
all pros and cons of the program. He
has selected representatives of all
employees to be a part of this
committee, to determine their
feelings.
Jacobs, a member of the com­mittee,
said he expects the program
to pass the Board of Trustees Jan. 27.

Psychology often 'monkey business9
NATHANAEL ENQUIRER
By Dave York
Plainsman Staffwriter
For some people, life is Just
monkey business.
Just ask any researcher who works
with Auburn's Experimental Psy­chology
Lab. Phil Hurst, 6PG,
vividly remembers one incident
where the monkey took charge.
Hurst was trying to recapture a
loose monkey.
"He was staying on top of the
cages, so I thoughtl'd get a stick and
shoo him back in," Hurst recalls.
But the monkey would not co­operate.
' 'In fact,'' Hurst says,' 'he started
walking toward,' me, and those
things can bite. I started backing up,
and by the end of it, I was running as
fast as I could to get back inside. The
monkey was chasing me. Finally, I
got inside the door here, and he
(jumped up on the railing outside and
looked in the window and was just
jumping up and down going, 'eeeh,
eeeh, eeeh.'"
In another episode, a monkey
apparently wanted to cage a human.
"One of the monkeys got into the
stadium," says Hurst. 'X3ne of the
coaches was talking on the phone,
SGA From page A -1
Last quarter about 10 violations
were reported by Dave Harding,
Auburn building official, and none of
the students forced to move were
accusedof causing any trouble, said
Dorsey.
Dorsey said the practice of
renting R-2 zone dwellings by
realtors to unrelated students cre­ates
an unfair situation for the small
number of students found in vio­lation
of the ordinance.
The senate also voted to table an
application for campus advertising
submitted by the Collegiate Associ­ation
for the Research of Principles
(CARP).
There was controversy among the
senators regarding the exact issue.
To help clear up some of the
controversy, senators were given
the opportunity to question two
CARP members at the meeting.
Some senators questioned the
methods and morality of CARP as
Wider selection
for Fall cable
Cable subscribers can expect a
better selection of channels this fall,
said Brad Ashmore, general man­ager
of Auburn TeleCable.
; The company, Ashmore said, is
"turning on 30 miles of new cable
and replacing 60 miles of damaged
cable in preparation for upgrading
the system.
"We're spending thousands of
dollars in Auburn and Opelika to
make TeleCable a firstrate
system," he said.
Ashmore said TeleCable sub­scribers
will have a choice of three
movie channels and will be able to
tune into more satellite stations in
September.
Although the cost for additional
service is tentative, Ashmore said
the company hopes to "work out
some kind of deal so people who
already have Home Box Office can
get another movie channel at a
discount," he said.

well as their affiliation with Rev­erend

Other senators countered that to
deny CARP advertising rights on
campus would be a violation of the
First Amendment of the Con­stitution.
After much debate, Dean Albert
Sistrunk interceded with the sug­gestion
the senate table the appli­cation
until it had time to study all
available documents regarding this
issue.
and he looked up, saw this monkey
and just couldn't believe It. The
monkeysort of kept him hostage in
his office for hours. The coach had to
lock himself in."
But smart monkeys are not all the
experimenters have to deal with.
"We had a rat experiment where if
the rat pressed the button he would
get fed, but at the same time,the
pressing of the button produced a
very loud noise, "Dr. Peter Harzem,
director of experimental psy-cholgy,
explains. "One rat was
pressing the button and producing
this loud noise over and over, so we
went to see what was happening. He
was sticking his head back in the
corner so he cquldn't hear the noise
and reaching and pressing the
button."
Through animal study, the experi­menters
discover if the same be­havior,
exists in humans. Harzem
says since there are many experi­ments
that cannot be done on
humans, rats are used Instead, and
implications are drawn from those
results.
One such experiment involved
studying diet fads characteristic of
today's generation. In this study, the
experimenters took two groups of
rats born at the same time, weighed
both groups periodically and oc­casionally
took food from one group.
"We found those rats that ex­perienced
food deprivation are
substantially fatter than those that
did not experience food depriva­tion,"
says Harzem. "It seems
intuitively correct if individuals are
deprived of something, they tend to
accumulate a need to compensate
for what they are deprived of." But,
Harzem says, "It's important to say
that is tentative."
Harzem explains about using
another group of rats for another
problem of modern life, sacrificing
our rewards from our immediate
goals to pursue those more distant.
"With these rats, we're interested in
what determines how their behavior
changes the events close in time
compared with the distant events.
"We may develop techniques that
may make it easier for individuals to
adjust their behavior with reference
to time," says Harzem, adding "If
you look at the history of ideas, we
have never found anything which
couldn't be tackled and approached
by methods of systematic investiga­tion.
Arid that is sufficient to say we
will not hit a blind alley, no matter
how much information we obtain
here.

DIAMOND FACTS
FACT: There are four factor*
that establish the value of any
diamond sold anywhere:
Cutting, Color, Clarity and
Carat Weight.
FACT: Color is the most
important factor in establish­ing
the value of a diamond.
Crystal clear absence of color
in the body of the stone is the
most desirable. You should,
however, see "fire" in such a
stone. Lack of the prismatic
colors suggest a poorly cut
stone. Crystal clear diamonds
are very rate indeed. Nearly all
diamonds have some degree
of "yellow" in the bodycolor
in the stone. The degree of
yellow is the factor which
effects the price. Degrees of
color are often so slight they
aren't recognized by the lay­man.
We have a box of
"master" diamonds in each
store to assist you in recog­nizing
that tiny color change
with each drop in color.
