Vet and engineering schools may lose accreditation
By Virginia Martin
Assistant News Editor
The schools of Engineering and
Veterinary Medicine at Auburn
University are in danger of losing
their accreditation, according to
deans of both schools.
Problems such as low faculty
salaries, high faculty-student ratios
and shortages of equipment are
cited as causes of the possible loss of
accreditation.
Grady Cox, executive vice presi­dent,
agreed that engineering and
veterinary medicine are probably in
the most critical need of all the
schools on campus.
Dean John Vaughan of the School
of Veterinary Medicine and Dean
Chester Carroll of the School of
Engineering pointed out the need for
accreditation in their respective
schools.
Carroll said that the chances of a
person who graduates from a
non-accredited school of engineer­ing
getting a job in industry are
tremendously lessened.
Vaughan said that if the School of
Veterinary Medicine loses its ac­creditation
graduates would be­come
ineligible for licensing. "And
who wants to go all the way through
the curriculum, graduate and not be
able to be licensed?'' Vaughan said.
At an American Press Association
meeting in Mobile Sunday, Gov.
James said that he was not specifi­cally
aware of the problems Auburn
was experiencing but that if there is
a problem he would see that it was
solved.
He added, however, that, "The
education industry is looking too
much at money, not results. I am
very skeptical when somebody
comes in and says something is
non-accredited and needs money to
straighten it out. It's as if money is
the answer to all problems in
government."
While Carroll and Vaughan admit
that money is not the sole answer to
their problems, they point out that
there is little they can do in the way
of improvements without it.
Vaughan says that his depart­ment
has been criticized for insuf-f
icienciestnits laboratory and health
programs, research, periodical sub­scriptions,
sta *e level of funding and
faculty numbers.
He says that much progress has
been made since 1974, the date of the
last inspection, but that things out of
the school's control have happened
and new problems have arisen.
Although Vaughan says that it
hasn't developed a specific pro­posal,
he feels that the board of
trustees is sympathetic with the
idea of a proposal to correct existing
problems.
He says that if full accreditation
isn't granted, the school will pro­bably
be granted limited accredit­ation.
In this case the school would
be given a list of suggestions for^the
program and a specified length of
time in which to fulfill them.
If they then satisfy the require­ments,
qualified accreditation
would be lifted to full accreditation.
If not the school would be put on
probation and would lose accredit­ation.
The process for accreditation
tests is similar in the School of
Engineering. Carroll said that the
Accreditation Board for Engi- ,
neering and Technology will release /
a report in September which may('
warn Auburn about problem areas.!
"The biggest problem is that the
ABET is pointing out the same
deficiencies which it noted after the
1979 inspection conducted by the
engineering firm of Dober Associ­ates,"
Carroll said.
After the Dober report, which
made suggestions for new buildings
and more square footage, nothing
was done except a lot of talking, said
Carroll. "We're beyond the plan­ning
stage, and now we need some
action," he said.
The School of Engineering has
received criticism for its faculty

Special session to consider education budget
By Virginia Martin
Assistant News Editor
Gov. Fob James announced Fri­day
that a special legislative session
would begin Tuesday, Aug. 4, and
later told legislators that both the
education budget and an isolation
bill would be considered.
The education budget, which has
been in limbo since the regular
session adjournedinMay, is the first
item of business that James has
recommended for consideration.
In its basic form, the education
budget has been condemned by
proponents of higher education,
including Auburn President Hanly
Funderburk, whodoesn't agree with
the governor's decision to reduce
funding to higher education and
increase funding to other levels of
education.
In the governor's revised budget
recommendation, Auburn is slated
to receive $60,429,493. This is $7,942,
507 less than last year's appropri­ation
and $1,548,457 less than his
original recommendation during
the regular session.
Mike Hogan of the finance depart­ment
stresses that this version of the
budget is not necessarily the final
one which will be introduced to the
Legislature. "There may be in­creases
in some of those numbers,"
he said. "We are still looking at
revenues and various elements of
the budget."
Other versions of the education
budget which have been proposed in
the past may be brought up for
consideration, depending on the
success of Gov. James' bill.
One which may be proposed is
sponsored by the House Ways and
Means Committee. Under this bill
Auburn would be allotted $64,963,
400.
Another possible bill, and the one
most advantageous to Auburn Uni­versity,
may be proposed by the
Senate and Taxation Committee. It
would allot $69,402,410 to Auburn,
$8,972,917 more than the governor's
bill.
The isolation bill will also be
introduced in the special session.
This constitutional amendment
will require the governor to intro­duce
budgets by the second legis­lative
day. It would also require that
legislators act on the budget before
passing any other bill.
A requirement that the session be
automatically adjourned if the bud­gets
aren't approved by the 15th day
of the Legislature is also included in
the bill.

Auburn students shine on certification tests
By Keith Ayers
News Editor
The results of the first teacher
certification examinations ever
given in the state were announced
latelastweekbyDr. Wayne Teague,
state superintendent of education.
The more than 900 candidates
seeking certification finally learned
how they fared on the exams which
will eventually determine if they
will be certified to teach in the state.
The tests were given for the first
time on June 6 at four locations
around the state to more than 900
students who took one or more tests.
The way the program is struc­tured,
each teacher seeking certifi­cation
must pass examinations in
two areas, basic professional
studies and the field of speciali­zation
of the teacher candidate.
On the June 6 testing date, many
students took more than one test,
depending on which tests were
needed for a particular teaching
certification.
Altogether, 1,454 tests were taken
by the 900 students examined. Of this
number, 1,115 tests were passed.
This means about 77 percent of the
tests given were passed.
Teague is pleased with the initial
test results, and noted in a written
statement to educators across the
state last week that the results were
in line with those from similar tests
given in neighboring states.
"In Georgia, where a similar test
is given, about 80 percent of those
tested passed. In Florida, 79 percent
of the candidates passed the first
series of tests givenin 1980,'' Teague
reported.
Those who did pass the appro­priate
tests are now eligible tor
certification in the state.
Those who did not pass are eligible
to work one year in the state's school
systems' provided that the superin­tendent
of the school system ap­proves.
After one year, the teacher
must have passed the appropriate
tests to continue teaching.
The tests are given three times per
year, the next two dates being Aug.
22 and Dec. 12., and there is
currently no limit to how many
times a student can attempt the
exam.
Teague's message was ac­companied
with statistical data
reporting how many tests were tried
and passed by students of different
institutions of the state.
Auburn students scored well
above the state average on the
exams, with its students passing 180
of 210 attempted tests, or 86percent,
much to the pleasure of Jack E.
Blackburn, dean of education.
"We feel good about the way our
students scored," Blackburn told
the Plainsman Tuesday.
As far as Auburn's success as
compared to similar-sized schools
goes, the University's 86 percent
pass rate was considerably higher
than that of the University of
Alabama which was 75 percent.
Auburn was slightly below the
University of Alabama at Birming­ham's
88 percent pass rate.
In his written statement, Teague
praised the examinations as being a
major advancement in the state
education program.
"This is an historic day for the
teaching profession in our state, and
those who will eventually profit will
be the students in our classrooms."

Rogers outlines high-risk traffic accident areas
By Tommy Shovelton
Plainsman Staffwriter
' 'It is your responsibility not only to yourself, but to others to drive safely
every time you get behind the wheel of your car," Capt. Donald Rogers of
campus police told the Plainsman yesterday. The veteran officer outlined
auto accident hot spots as well as the major causes of accidents on campus.
Rogers cited speeding as the single biggest cause of accidents on campus.
' 'Students should allow themselves enough time to get to their destination
without speeding," Roger said.
"Most of the serious accidents on campus are caused simply by high
speed," he said.
From February 1980 to June 1981,294 separate accidents occurred on the
Auburn University campus. This includes all of the areas inside College
Street and Magnolia Avenue, and out Wire Road to the vet school.

Magnolia Avenue and College Street are in the jurisdiction of Auburn City
Police.
The two deaths on campus occurred in February and March 1980.
The first occurred near the intersection of Thach Avenue and Donahue
Drive, when a student pedestrian was struck and killed by a car driven by
another student.
The March death occurred on the Highway 267 by-pass in a one-car
accident.
Another death of a co-ed occurred at the end of spring quarter this year,
when a student was hit by a car near the intersection of Thach Avenue and
College Street. This was in city-not campus-jurisdiction.
Under Rogers' campus jurisdiction, Wire Road, Thach Avenue and
Roosevelt Street have the highest accident rates with 33, 31 and 27,
respectively.
More than one-third of all accidents on campus occur on these three
streets, Rogers said.
A city police survey done from May to October 1980 shows Magnolia
Avenue and College Street to be the two major culprits in city jurisdiction
near campus.
The separation of report time periods and jurisdictions between city and
campus authorities makes a perfectly accurate and comprehensive survey
of the entire student-oriented areas of the city impossible.
Of the 294 accidents reported on campus during this span, 195 were on
streets, and 99 were in parking lots, Rogers said.
While most of tne parking lot accidents were minor fender-benders,
Rogers said yesterday that the accidents on streets resulted in two deaths
and 51 injuries.
According to Edna Nowell, administrative assistant to the city police
chief,' 'speeding and driver Inattention " are the leading causes of accidents
in the city's jurisdiction.
Nowell pointed out Tuesday that Auburn is atypical of other smaller
Southern towns because the group causing the most accidents is the 20-to-24
year-olds. Nowell attributes this to Auburn's being a college town.
She implied that most small Alabama towns have a higher accident rate
among younger drivers, namely 16- to 18-year-olds.
Nowell also pointed out that most accidents occur in daylight hours,
especially between 4 and 5 p.m.
Through state grants in recent years, the city has been able to put more
officers on the road, resultingin better police control and a reduced accident
rate, Nowell said.
"Students should allow themselves
enoughMmetogettotheirdestm^
without speeding"
Nowell also noted a sharp increase in bicycle and motorcycle accidents in
the past years, an increase she explained as being brought about by
increasing fuel prices forcingstudents to resort toother means of transport.
"Inattention among drivers of vehicles and bike-riders not following the
rules of the road" have added to the increased accident rate, she said.
Nowell says she would like to begin a program-through state granls-to
educate college students as they come to Auburn about ordinances and laws
on traffic safety.

Auburn's ACLlI in danger of losing charter
By Diane Wilson
Plainsman Staffwriter
Auburn's chapter of the American
Civil Liberties Union is in danger of
losing its charter, sole member Ron
Cannon says.
Cannon, a philosophy major and
only member of Auburn's ACLU, is
trying to encourage membership
before the organization goes on
probation fall quarter. According to
SGA probation rules, the ACLU has
30 days at the beginning of fall
quarter to appeal. During the
probation period, no publicity or
mention of the organization's name
is allowed. In the meantime, Cannon
has put posters in buildings around
campus but, he said, response has
been slow.
Cannon is not sure why the SGA
wants to revoke the ACLU's charter
but he said he believes the SGA
wants the organization to be more
active. The only member explained
it is in the SGA's interest to keep the
ACLU alive.' "The organization does
not cost the student government
anythingto run1,' * he said,' 'but it is a
controversial organization and does
not have the best reputation on
campus."
When Auburn's ACLU chapter
was founded in 1972, there was more
interest in it on campus, especially
from minorities, Cannon said.
"There is not another organization
like it on campus. It's a political
organization;, an active organiza­tion,
open to anybody, not like the
Young Democrats or Republicans.' *
Cannon, who has had the charter
since last April, sometimes wonders
if the University really wants a
politically active organization on
campus. He believes the University
prefers/organizations that are not
actively involved in campus affairs.
If the ACLU survives, Cannon
plans for the organization to focus on
campus issues, such as coed hous­ing.
"TheACLUwilllookatissueson
the University level, not the nation­al."
He would also like to do away
with organizational politics by abol­ishing
officer positions so that all
members could have a ' 'free hand''
in running the organization.
Cannon believes it would be good
to have an organization concerned
with University affairs. The ACLU k
could also be a "Watchdog" for the
SGA. The organization's main ac­complishment,
he said, is simply
being there and being available to
students.
Proposed zoning change
may affect some students
By Sonny Long
Assistant News Editor
A proposed zoning change north of
the central business district could
aversely affect several student
living areas despite the city's
insistence that the rezoning would
encourage improvements' and
beautification.
In a letter to owners of property in
the area, dated July 20, city planner
PatrickBorellinotes that though the
area is physically a part of down'
town, it does not enjoy the same
zoning benefits as the rest of
downtown.
Some of the benefits the letter
mentions include less strict parking
and yard requirements. The resi­dences
affected are now considered
non-conformingintheB-3zone. This
means that the uses can't be
expanded, therefore the letter
states, there Is no incentive to
improve the appearance of these
properties. Under the rezoned B-4
proposal residences would continue
to be classified as non-conforming
uses, but minimum front yard
requirements are reduced from 20
feet to zero, and no parking spaces
are required. The B-3 zone required
that three parking spaces be made
available.
One student living in the area
under consideration remarked that
the rezoning would open the door for
property owners to tear down
existing housing and build apart­ment
buildings with no yard space or
parking spaces for the tenants. The
student, who asked to remain
anonymous, also feared that paid
parking would replace residential
parking in the area.
The proposed rezoning includes
one block of West Glenn Avenue,
part of .North College Avenue,
Tichenor Avenue, East Glenn
Avenue and Mitcham Avenue.
The Auburn Planning Commis­sion
will hold a public hearing on the
zoning change Aug. 13at4p.m. in the,
council chamber at the Auburn
Police Department.

SGA President Rip Britton said
that the ACLU is in danger of losing
its charter because it has not met the
minimum requirements for a club to
remain chartered.
"A club must establish a charter
and me it along with a list of officers
with the dean of students' o:ffice.
The ACLU has also not followed the
directives of its own chapter," said
Britton.

Charlie King
Musician/activist delivers social message
By Amy L. Colburn
Co-Technical Editor
Anyone who loves to listen to folk
musie or good stories missed out on
an outstanding evening of singing,
guitar playing, harmonica playing
and storytelling if he did not attend
the Charlie King concert last Thurs­day
night in Haley Center.
King, a member of the folk group
called Bright Morning Star and
writer of the anti-nuke song ' 'Acres
of Clams," gave a three and a half
hour solo performance.
Unfortunately only about 35
people came to the performance.
Despite the small turnout, this fine
entertainer performed with the
same enthusiasm as if the room had
been packed..
King's description of himself is
that of a musical storyteller. What
an accurate description. Many
times he introduces his songs by
reading a newspaper clipping on
some topical subject or by giving
the background story of the writing
of the song.
One of the songs he sang, "Food
Stamp Stomp," was based on a
newspaper article about an Ohio
congresswoman who complained
about the food stamp fraud during a.
$20-a-plate luncheon paid for by
contributions to her campaign.
New Alabama fire codes require
installation of smoke detectors
Smoke detectors will be installed
in all dormitory rooms in the Auburn
University housing complexes this
fall, according to Jerry Cook,
assistant director of student hous­ing.
Cook said that presently there are
not any smoke detectors in the
Magnolia and Bullard complexes,
but there have been detectors
installed in the Caroline Draughon
\ illage, married housing, the Quad
and Hill dormitories.
William Morgan, director of safe-
^ iy engineering, said the installation
oi smoke detectors in the dormitor­ies
is in compliance with the
requirements of the new Alabama
law regarding safety within dorms.
The state law requires that every
owner, manager or operator of a
hotel (according to Morgan a dormi­tory
is classified as a hotel under the
Alabama Life Safety Code) shall
install and maintain in operating
condition a battery or electrically
operated smoke detector device in
each "hotel guest sleeping room."
The detector also must have ap­proval
from a nationally recognized
testing organization.
The owners of such rooms are also
required to test smoke detectors
every quarter of the calendar year.
According to Cook, the dormitor­ies,
as he was told by his attorneys,
are not classified as motels, but the
detectors will be installed and
maintained by the housing person­nel.
Cook added the smoke detectors
inspection will be the housing
service's own responsibility. The
detectors, he said, will give off an
intermittent beeping noise if the
batteries are weakening.
In the songs "Acceptable Risks,"
he begins by telling the audience
about Paul Cooper who was a soldier
and worked with the atomic bomb
testings.
Cooper was told there were
acceptable risks. He contracted
leukemia and died.
King, an activist for many causes,
began by doing political work.
"I found that a hobby (music) was
useful in getting the message a-cross,"
said King.
"Good performers can address
problems without being boring or
lecturing. "
King neither bores nor does he
lecture. He sings songs about real
people's lives and struggles and lets
the audience make up its mind
about the issues.
' 'The real attraction to folk music
that keeps it alive is that it is about
real working people and it deals with
people's lives and caring," said
King.
Many of the songs that King sings
are about ordinary people who are
not really ordinary. They all offer
something special in the way they
deal with their lives and struggles.
"The Dancing Boilerman" and "A
Woman of Great Energy" are two
such songs.
Other songs are humorous in
nature. King sings "Vaguely Re­miniscent
of the Sixties" in Bob
Dylan style with the same slurring
otf words, and the intonations and
even the outbursts of the harmonica
that are so common in Dylan times.
King is probably best known for
his song "Acres of Clams" which
has been adopted by the anti-nuke
movement and has been sung by the
late Harry Chapin, Arlo Guthrie and
Pete Seeger.
King explained that he thinks the
worst things about nuclear power
are the radioactive wastes and the
people's loss of control over their
source of power.
' 'It is one more area where people
don't have control of their own
lives," said King.
He said he thinks solar, tidal and
wind power used in small communi­ties
would be better.
King moves through political
channels to arrange concerts be­cause
"there are not ready-made
audiences that want to listen to
topical songs."
When King tours he stays with the
people from the organizations that
sponsor his concerts.
"I like to meet new people and
visit new communities," said King.
"When I find people that are
concerned, it makes me optimis­tic."
King's outlook on life is summ­arized
when he sings one of his
verses: "Our life is more than our
work and our work is more than
our job."

Student leaders will be traveling
to Montgomery next week to lobby
legislators for higher allotments for
Auburn University. They urge all
students to write their state repre­sentatives
and have their parents do
the same.
"We really need to blitz it next
week. Auburn needs help with the
budget," said Wayne Lutomski, of
the SGA lobbyist.
Lutomski also said that repre­sentatives
aren't aware of the
situation in Auburn. "If they know
the real situation they will vote for
more money," Lutomski said.
He also added that any student
who needs the address of a repre­sentative
can get it from the political
affairs office of the SGA.

Accreditation a must
Throughout its 125-year history, the center
of academic activity at Auburn has been its
engineering and agricultural programs. Au­burn
students could be guaranteed high
quality in these two areas especially and the
state of Alabama, in turn, could expect a
consistent stream of high-quality graduates
from the two programs to perpetuate the
supply in these two areas for the state's future.
Now comes the word, though, that these two
areas are in danger. The School of Engineering
and the School of Veterinary Medicine, a
separate school from, but an ideological
extension of the agriculture programs,
according to the deans of both schools are in
real danger of losing accreditation of their
programs.
Deans Chester Carroll of engineering and
John Vaughan of veterinary medicine warn
that low salaries, high faculty turnover, high
student ratios and shortages of equipment
threaten the accreditation of their programs.
Carroll says his graduates would have a great
disadvantage in the competitive engineering
job market with diplomas from anunacrredited
school.
The veterinary school graduates would face
even tougher consequences, as its graduates
would become ineligible for licensing if the
school fails to retain accreditation.
The first draft of the University's priority
report, a report that could determine and
influence academic and funding policy for the
rest of the century, released just two weeks ago
cites the needs, indeed the obligation, for
Auburn to keep a strength in these areas.
"Strong programs in science and technology
are characteristic of the best land-grant
universities," the report specifies concerning
engineering for the future.
Acknowledging the need to support the
veterinary school, the report says, "Auburn
University has a responsibility not shared by
other public institutions in the state to give
special emphasis ot professional programs in
architecture, pharmacy and veterinary medi­cine.
The people of Alabama look primarily to
Auburn for training and research in these
areas."
The fact either school is in trouble in the first
place is ridiculous.' 'The shame is that a major
engineering school like Auburn has to worry
about accreditation at all," said Carroll in
echoing that sentiment.
Itisthestate'sduty and the University's duty
to insure these schools do not stumble in their
duty to provide quality graduates to the state
and region from these two schools.
Education can boast Almost every week, the Plainsman reports of
situations where the quality of education here
may be damaged, whether it be by loss of
competent faculty, the potential loss of
accreditation or the pinches felt by the loss of
revenue dollars.
While these situations are concerning and

Pudget held
hostage;
Day72
On Tuesday, May 19, at6a.m., the Alabama
Legislature, in what Sen. Ted Little called "a
breakdown in the legislative compromising
process," failed in an llth-hour attempt to
present an education budget for the state's
school systems.
The lack of a budget makes planning for the
new year (for Auburn that begins in October)
extremely difficult.
The best guess for a special session to deal
with the education budget is some time near
Aug. 1. The education budget has been held
hostage now for 72 days.
sometimes even alarming, we are happy to
report this week of one part of Auburn
University that is alive and well and that we can
truly be proud of, the School of Education.
This past week, Dr. Wayne Teaguc, state
superintendent of education announced the
results of the first teacher certification
examinations ever given in the state of
Alabama.
When the dust finally settled, it was plain to
see that students from Auburn University
scored particularly well. Of the 210 tests given
Auburn students, 180 passing scores were
recorded.
This 86 percent pass rate is well above the
state average of 77 percent.
Among schools its size, Auburn was edged
only by the University of Alabama at
Birmingham, which had a pass rate of 88
percent.
While Teaguc did reserve in a written
statement to educators that the nature of the
testing made these figures shaky ground for
basing any major conclusions on, one thing
must be recognized as fact.
In this time of insecurity and uncertainty, it
is refreshing to have such accomplishments
reflecting back on Auburn University.
Gaines on top...again
Another in Auburn's long history of great
atheletes was honored last Friday night in
Montgomery. Rowdy Gaines, swimmer extra­ordinaire,
was named the Southeastern
Conference' s Athlete of the Year by conference
sports information directors beating out
representatives from the nine other conference
schools.
Some people, though, mostly Georgians,
felt Hcrschel Walker, runningback for the
national champion Georgia Bulldogs, should
have received the award. His supporters cite the
dominance of football in the South and the
stature the national championship brought to
Walker's university.
But while Walker is a talented athlete in
football and track, Gaines is the most
dominant athlete in the world in his sport.
Unfortunately, he was unable to show the
world his true ability. Last summer, because of
the Olympic games boycott by the United
States, Gaines didn't get a chance to get the
publicity that other swimmers, like Mark Spitz,
received.
In 1979, Gaines gave a sample of his talent
though, by winning three gold medals at the
Pan-American games.
Despite losing the ore chance that all
swimmers want last summer, Gaines returned
to Auburn for his final year of competition. He
led the Tigers to a third-place conference finish
and a fifth-place ranking nationally.
Gaines, recently named Alabama Athlete of
the Year, is the only swimmer ever to swim
under 20 seconds in the 50-yard freestyle and
below 4 minutes and 30 seconds in the 500-yard
freestyle.
The Winter Haven, Fla. native has been so
dominant he also represented Auburn in last
ycar'sSEC Athlete of the Year banquet, which
was won by Kentucky basketball player Kyle
Macy.
Walker will have his day in the sun, but for
now it is great to see an athelete of Gaines'
talent and class get the recognition he has for so
long deserved.
Everyone is familiar with the moves the
Soviet Union made in Afghanistan in December
1979. Most people, too, are familiar with Soviet
moves in Africa under auspices of Cuban troops
throughout the last decade.
These are the more visible displays of Soviet
aggression in the last 10 years, but few, if indeed
any, people are aware of the real war—the
SovietUnion's attempt to take over the United
States itself through a series of acts set to
undermine and fell theAmerican government.
The propaganda-oriented attacks began in the
middle of the Cold War, in 1956, with the
introduction of the short-sleeve dress shirt. The
Soviets' intention in introducing the new
garment tothe West is, with hindsight, painfully
obvious.
The shirts were to begin being marketed,
innocently enough, for the working class, the
guys who saw a certain logic to not having to roll
up their sleeve to ward off the heat. The
campaign by the Soviets did not stop there,
though, and now short-sleeve dress shirts are
undermining authority in all the major
universities of the country and have even been
spied in the White House itself.
It is frightening, but it gets worse.
In the 1960s the Soviets made a bold, but in the
long run only moderately successful ploy, with
the introduction of a professional soccer league
in the United States. This move was made to
destroy the American family. Thousands of
parents were saddled with the embarrassment
of having their son weaned on the odd European
sport, instead of the more stable and more
American football, basketball and baseball. '
The Soviets have even invaded the language
John
Farish IB
for their cause. The '60s saw the evolution of such
phrases as: "really," "cool," "doyour own thing,"
"pet peeve" and the most damaging of all
"finalize." The 70s saw words like "reality" and
"punk" assimilate themselves into everyday
language and the addition of "gate" as a suffix to
every scandal of the decade as in "Billygate" or
"Koreagate."
In this case the Soviet intent is a bit more
subtle. They hope to turn the citizens of the
country into illiterate, overly simplistic
speakers so in less than one generation all
worthwhile communication among Americans
will be obsolete. Sneaky devils, huh?-
It will probably come as no surprise to most
persons then that the entire state of California
has been set up as a Communist conspiracy,
created in just 20 years without the knowledge
of the residents of the state.
Through the consistent invention of a host of
fads (roller skating, yo-yos and clackers
immediately come to mind) the Soviet Union has
destroyed the minds of America'syoung from
coast-to-coast, substituting fads and short-term
satisfaction for the traditional values that in past
centuries have made the country the great
power it is.
Disco is one of the things the Russians used in
the 1970s to get their foot in the door of the
subconscious American mind. The consistent,
mind-consuming, rhythmic beat was to soften
the American mind making it ripe for the
seductive preachings of Marx and Lenin.
Of course the most recent example of Soviet
intervention into the country is this summer's
baseball strike. Starting with Curt Flood in the
early 1970s, the Soviet campaign against the last
true American insititutionvas stepped up with
Andy Messersmith's free agency, the recent
escalation in free-agent salaries and finally the
strike itself.
Membersof the Soviet secret police, the KGB,
have been spied at hearings on the baseball
strike poised to wreck any progress that may be
made. The Soviets hope with the destruction of
the thing most cherished by Americans, a
certain mental laxity would follow and they
could move in with some substitute (again
soccer creeps into the picture.) that would
undermine the authority of the U.S. govern­ment,
the family unit and the state of mind of the
majority of the population.
The only way to combat the inroads the
Soviets have made, my source in the CIA tells
me, is to try to do the same thing to the Russians
they have done to us. Possibly something as
severe as the introduction of polyester to the
Russian economy could do as much to undermine
the authority of the Communist government as
disco and the baseball strike have ruined our
own.

How many times can we blow up the world?
The Reagan administration's commitment to
a $1.5 trillion defense budget is a direct result of a
decade of demilitarization while the Soviet
Union has continued a massive military buildup
far exceeding what it needs to defend its
borders.
I agree, contrary to my Democratic loyalties,
something must be done to shape up the
condition of the U.S. military, but not at the
expense of Social Security, Medicaid, education
and other social programs.
The $1.5 trillion is enough to pay off the
national debt and still have $300 billion left over.
According to Time, it comes to more than
$10,800 for every American who paid taxes on
1979 income.
More frightening than the actual dollar
amounts being considered for defense, is the
haphazard way in which the money is likely to be
spent.
All aspects of the military are so decimated
'that the administration figures a spend-more-everywhere
approach will help solve our
defense woes. But will it?
There are presently 35 MX missile deploy­ment
systems being considered in Congress.
The drag strip shuttle plan is estimated at $75
billion and would tear up a chunk of the West (in
Utah and Nevada) the size of New Jersey.
Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger is
leaning toward a plan incorporating "valley
clusters" for deployment of the MX and the "Big
Bird," a not-yet-built plane that would carry one
or two MX missiles.
Our conventional capabilities are also deplet­ed.
Experts estimate troops in Europe have
enough supplies to last two weeks in the event of
an outbreak of conventional warfare.
Whole systems of weapons need replacing.
The ones we have now we can't keep running due
to lack of spare parts or qualified mechanics to
repair them. Manpower stands at just over two
million while Soviet forces stand near five
million.
1 could go on and on about how behind we are
and what terrible trouble we are in if we don't
boost all phases of defense. It is all true, but
solutions to these problems are not all monetary.
Public opinion at present is conducive to
greater spending for defense keyed by
American's inability to rescue the hostages in
Iran. But, how long will the public tolerate
paying defense bills while the economy
continues to stagger?
Sonny
Long
Lester Thurow of M.I.T. says that the Reagan
defense program could "wreck the economy."
Production growth will have to increase more
than it has in 16 years, or taxpayers will have to
foot the bill, but Reagan also proposes to cut
income tax rates 25 percent over the next three
years. Something here doesn't jibe.
Defense reformers such as Sen. Sam Nunn of
Georgia are calling for specific programs to be
targeted for any defense funding. Past defense
projects, i.e. the Trident submarine and the
Abrams tank, have so exceeded original cost
estimates that any attempt to estimate costs for
future projects has to be taken with a grain of
bureaucratic salt.
At the same time it is building up,, the
administration is advocating a policy of
controlling nuclear proliferation by giving
nations who want to build nuclear weapons more
conventional weapons. This is supposed to
decrease their appetite for nuclear weapons and
lessen the chances of nuclear war.
However, if one thinks through this policy
logically, it is easy to see that an increase in
conventional warfare among lesser powers is
the exact thing that will draw the nuclear-bear­ing
superpowers into what will actually be the
war to end all wars.
All this ugliness is not only skin deep. Morale
within the ranks is low. Salaries aren't
competitive enough to keep top-notch techni­cians
and medical personnel. All the new
weaponry in the world can't do any good if we
don't have an army smart enough to operate the
arsenal.
Drug and alcohol abuse among all ranks in all
services is nearing proportions that threaten
operational efficiency.
Most observers will blame the Democrats for
the era of military cutbacks, but it was Richard
Nixon who bragged to be the first president to
spend more for social programs than defense.
Vernon Jordan, in his keynote address to the
National Urban League annual convention,
denounced building missiles at the expense of
the poor, but the defense expenditures are likely
to pass without much of a whimper given present
public sentiment.
The whimpers will come later-just after the
draft and just before the soup lines.

Opinion WEGL not threatening to go top 40
Thursday, July 80,1981 pages
Stations choose format
Editor, The Plainsman,
As Faculty Adviser of WEGL, I would like to
respond to Blake Powers' assertion that WEGL
is on the road to self-destruction due to some
changes in programming. I believe the students
and other supporters of the campus station have
been misinformed through his commentary.
Powers claims that WEGL has been licensed
to broadcast alternative programming. He says
"In order to legally exercise the rights of its
license, it must provide an alternative to other
programming locally available." In 1971, WEGL
was granted a non-commercial license by the
Federal Communications Commission to serve
the public interest, convenience and necessity.
The FCC does not allocate licenses with
•equirements to program specific types of
entertainment. The format of a station, whether
it be top 40, country or alternative program­ming,
is at the discretion of the station license.
The legal obligation of WEGL is to serve our
public with news, entertainment and informa­tion
which is of interest, convenience and
necessity to that audience.
Who is our public? It is each student who pays
for WEGL's operation and maintenance through
student activity fees. Therefore.the station's
responsibility is to ascertain student prefer­ences
in programming and structure a format to
meet those needs.
Our recent audience survey, the most
common method of measuring a radio market,
has demonstrated to us the changing listening
tendencies of the Auburn student population.
We are currently making changes in our
programming which will reflect those listener
habits. The college audience of 1981 is not the
college audience of 1971. And, the management
staff of the station must periodically survey the
public for changes in programming tastes so that
it offers the best possible broadcasts to all
students.
Obviously, WEGL cannot please every
musical taste of specific individuals or groups.
We can, however, attract a majority of students
with entertainment geared to appeal to the
University community as a whole. This
mass-audience strategy appears to be the best
method of justifying the costs of operating
WEGL to the students who pay for its services.
The mission of WEGL is not to offer
programming that is an alternative to other
radio entertainment. Rather, the objective of
the campus station is to provide the students
entertainment that they can enjoy, news that
satisfies their needs and information of interest
to this unique population. While the alternative
programming route was the format of past
WEGL administrations, it is by no means the
direction we are destined to follow. The current
staff of WEGL will let the 18,000-plus supporters
of the station decide which roads to travel in
broadcasting its programs.
It is with the assistance of all Auburn students
that we will accomplish our mission.
Alan Ray
Faculty Adviser
WEGL-FM91
Editor, The Plainsman,
As an announcer, and especially as promotion
director of WEGL, I am really enjoying all the
positive publicity that our station is getting in
your paper. I didn't even have to lift a finger.
I know the word "positive" mentioned a
sentence or two ago has confused many, but let
me explain. I realize our station has undergone
some change, but this should be seen as a step in a
positive direction.
While rumors are abounding WEGL is going
top 40, many of Auburn's students of
questionable intelligence are getting all bent out
of shape. I think when these students heard their
first song that sold more than 10 copies they
went off the deep end.
As exemplified by David Murphree, some
students also feel their opinion is the only
opinion worth having. Does Murphree think
Kim Carnes' album and first release were
number one in the nation because she is a
"no-talent mutant" and nobody wants to hear
anything she has to sing about? I really wonder
about this Murphree character.
Anyway...I would like to put to rest many
troubled minds here at Auburn as well as to
invite the many other people who have closed
their minds to WEGL because of past "sounds"
they have heard on FM 91 to read on.
It will be a cold day in July here in Auburn
before WEGL "goes 'top 40." This, however,
does not mean "Bette Davis Eyes" will never be
heard on FM91. But it does mean the current hits
will be played as well as other selected songs.
Everybody likes t'op 40 (That's why it's top
4C. )as long as it is not played to death like on the
commercial stations. WEGL's slightly revamp­ed
format now permits the current hits to be
played. But, you can be sure that they will be
aired in such a dosage even the most anti-'t op 40
people and ignorant Murpheeites will still enjoy
our programming.
This type of format may even attract some
new listeners. With the proper balance of t'op 40
and other selected cuts. WEGL can please a
greater majority of the Auburn student body.
It is true that WEGL is an alternative radio
station. Alternative, in addition to its popularly
held concept, also means that our listeners do not
have to put up with everybody and his
grandmother singing about beer. Instead, our
"commercials" inform listeners about things
that concern events here at Auburn and are of
direct interest to the student's and the
community's needs.
When you think of "alternative" keep this in
mind. The management of WEGL has decided
alternative is not going to mean "pick an
alternative station" when people are tuned to
FM91.

Legislating morality, immorality
Editor, The Plainsman,
Mark Skoneki (Morality issues not for
Congress, June 25th Plainsman) quotes an
extremely important fact which Moses may
have begun to suspect and of which early
Christians were fully aware, "You can't legislate
morality." Who, though, has heard the claim,
"You can't legislate immorality"?
Us? Legislate morality? Hell's bells and
beaus! We're told that our government cannot
tolerate attempts to teach morality! Oh well,
back to the catacombs.

salaries, number of faculty and lack
of classroom space, lab space and
modern equipment.
A major problem and repeated
criticism of both the School of
Veterinary Medicine and School of
Engineering is that the student-faculty
ratio is too high. In 1976 the
ratio in the School of Veterinary
Medicine was 5-to -l; by 1981 it had
risen to 6-to-l. Vaughan says that the
ratio should be 4-to-l.
Vaughan says that he isn't fond of
the idea, but that the school is being
forced to consider limiting enroll­ment.
Carroll doesn't want to cut enroll-menteither,
although the number of
faculty in the School of Engineering
is also inadequate to deal with the
number of students. He says that
enrollment could be cut further, but
that since Auburn is a land grant
institution and has a responsibility
to the people of Alabama, that
solution is counter to its mandate to
serve the people of Alabama.
Both Vaughan and Carroll hold
little hope for hiring new professors.
Although Vaughan says that he is
optimistic about filling faculty po­sitions
that were frozen during
proration, he doubts that they will be
able to fill all of the positions
emptied during retrenchment.
' 'How effectively can we recruit to
fill the vacant positions?" Vaughan
said. "Positions were taken out of
the deep freeze but they're Rip Van
Winkle positions; they're out of sync
with time; they're not competitive."
Carroll agrees that it would be
very hard to recruit faculty for the
School of Engineering for next year
because the faculty salaries are one
of the lowest in the region. He says
that while other schools offer an
average of $30,000 a year for a
beginning assistant professor, Au­burn
offers $22,000.
The lack of periodicals in the
veterinary medicine library is also a
problem, said H. C. Morgan, assis­tant
dean of veterinary medicine.
He added that in 1974 the American
Veterinary Medicine Association's
Council on Education was compli­mentary
of the school's attitude
toward the library.
"In 1974 they saw a movement
toward excellence," Morgan said.
But recently the council has been
concerned about the reduction in
periodicals.
"The council is scared the school
is backing off of its commitment to
the library," Morgan said.
The Dober report on the School of
Engineering said in 1979 that the
School of Engineering does not have
enough classrooms or laboratories.
Carroll says that people are literally
jammed into classrooms meant to
hold 20 people.
He also says that sometimes two
or even more lab classes are held in
laboratories designed for one class.
This results in a doubling of con­fusion,
noise and danger to students
and faculty.
Carroll contends that accredit­ation
in engineering is about as
serious as in the medical profession.
He says that they • have strict;
accreditation standards, but that
accreditation still represents the
bare minimum requirements.
Carroll says that as a major land
grant institution, Auburn has a
responsibility for providing more
than the minimum.
"The shame is that a major
engineering school like Auburn has
to worry about accreditation at all,"
Carroll said. "After all that repre­sents

* lubiirn's Gaines selected 6SEC Athlete of the Year'
y Bill Wagnon
ainsman Sportswriter
Auburn swimming great, Rowdy
3aines, was named the 1981 South-
3ast"ern Conference Athlete of the
Year last Friday night over prob­ably
the most impressive group of
athletes ever assembled for the
award.
When SEC commissioner Boyd
McWhorter announced the winner
at the Governor's House Motel in
Montgomery, Gaines said he was
shocked.
Gaines said he expected Georgia
running back Herschel Walker, who
finished third in last year's Heisman
Trophy voting, to get the award.
"I'm just glad I won it this year
because Herschel has got it for the
next, three.
"I feel like the SEC is the leading
sports conference in the nation,"
Gaines said, "so the fellows here
i onight are not the 10 best in the SEC.
They are the 10 best in the nation."
The other nominees were football
players E. J. Junior of Alabama,
Chris Collinsworth of Florida,
Mardye McDole of Mississippi State
and Tim Irwin of Tennessee.
Basketball players nominated were
Durand Macklin of LSU, Elston
Turner of Ole Miss and Mike
Rhodes of Vanderbilt. Also, wrest­ler
Ricky Dellagatta of Kentucky
was nominated.
All but three athletes attended the
banquet. Collinsworth was in camp
with the Cincinnati Bengals and
McDole with the Minnesota Vikings.
Turner was in the process of
negotiating his contract with the
Dallas Mavericks of the National
Basketball Association.
Each school chose its own athlete
and then the sports information
directors of the different schools and
the sports directors of the partici­pating
television stations voted on
the athletes Thursday night before
the banquet.
Auburn and WSFA-TV in Mont­gomery
hosted the sixth annual
event which included, in addition to
the announcement of the winner a
four-minute film on each athlete,
followed by the nominees' saying a
few words to the audience.
Each athlete received a plaque
and a $500 scholarship was pre­sented
to his university by the
sponsoring TV stations. Gaines re­ceived
a large trophy, and Auburn
received an adaitional $2,500 scho­larship
because he was named the
top athlete.
Sprinter Harvey Glance of Au­burn
won the first title back in 1976.
The other recipients were Tennes­see
wide receiver Larry Seivers.
Kentucky basketball player Jack
Givens, Alabama basketball player
Reggie King and Kentucky basket­ball
player Kyle Macy.
Gaines was the first swimmer to
win the coveted title. He was also
Auburn's nominee for the award last
year7which was won by Macy.
Gaines and Walker became good
friends before the banquet, spend­ing
most of Friday swimming
together in the hotel pool. They were
easily the most popular two athletes
at the banquet, both swamped by
autograph seekers.
Gaines, me world Swimmer of the
Year in 1980, added the SEC Athlete
of the Year award to his mounting
list of achievements.
He is the world record holder in the
100-and 200-meter freestyles, a 22-
iime NCAA All-American, a five-lime
NCAA individual champion, a
three-time NCAA relay champion, a
six-time SEC individual champion
and an eight-time SEC relay
champion.
Besides his two world records,
Gaines holds SEC records in the
50-yard frees yle, 100-yard free­style,
200-yard freestyle and is a
member of the record setting
400-yard medley and 800-yard free­style
relay teams.
Publications predict good season for SEC
By Terry Connor
Assistant Sports Editor
With the opening of the college
football season just around the
corner, many of the pre-season
publications with the predictions of
the upcoming season are on the
newsstands.
The 'experts' are forecasting
which teams will be in the top 20
fter the bowl games plus which
layers will make the All-American
jams.
In a survey of five of the publi-ations,
Athlon, Goal Post, Pigskin,
Sportsform and Street and Smith,
the Southeastern Conference has as
many as five teams finishing in one
of the magazine's top 20 teams in the
country.
Athlon's Southeastern Football
Preview predicted Alabama will
finish third in the country followed
by Georgia in the fourth spot,
Florida seventh and LSU 15th.
Athlon placed five players from
the SEC on its All-American team,
Alabama's linebacker Thomas
Boyd, safeties Jim Bob Harris and
Tommy Wilcox plus Mississippi
State's linebacker Johnie Cook were
selected as defensive standouts for
the coming season, while Georgia's
running back Herschel Walker was
selected as the only offensive All-
American from the SEC.
Goal Post, the only publication to
place five SEC teams in the
country's top 20, picked Alabama to
finish fourth, Florida 11th, Georgia
14th, Mississippi State 17th and LSU
19th in the nation.
Auburn "was chosen to finish
eighth in the SEC by Goal Post.
Pigskin Preview and Sportsform,
the two publications that didn't list
an All-American team, selected
four teams each from the SEC to
finish in the nation's top 20.
Pigskin picked Alabama sixth in
the country, Georgia 10th, Missis­sippi
State 14th and Florida 15th.

\ew magazine will be about AU sports
By Russ Lockhart
Assistant Sports Editor
As the Pat Dye era enters into its
eighth month, a new publication
about the athletic department has
been started under the supervision
of editor Mark Murphy.
With the new publication, Auburn
joins the ranks of many major
universities with a sports magazine
designed about its athletic depart­ment.
The magazine, "Inside the Au­burn
Tigers," is a 32-page full-color
magazine that offers a fresh in-
^pth look at Auburn sports. It will
:us primarily on football and
sketball, but all men's and wo-i
Bn's sports programs will be
R-vered.
|> The magazine will give an inside
fok at what's going on in Auburn
athletics each month. It will concen­trate
on feature material rather
than game-by-game summations.
The magazine, fully endorsed by
the athletic department, is a private
venture by Murphy. The magazine
is sold by subscription only at $20 per
year, and is available only through
the athletic department. More than
5,000 subscriptions have been re­ceived
by the athletic department
since it started soliciting them
around six weeks ago.
The magazine has 10 issues per
year-August through May.

Tigers face Gators, Mean Green in home contests
By Brian Love
Sports Editor
Auburn's seventh and eighth
football opponents this fall
feature one team that had the
best turn-around in its record
last year and another team that
features the second former
head coach of a SEC team to
face the Tigers this fall.
Florida, which went 0-10-1
under Charlie Pell in 1979,
finished 7-4 last fall then beat
Maryland in the Tangerine
Bowl under the former Clemson
head coach.
Bob Tyler is in his first year as
head coach at North Texas .State
after being fired as coach at
Mississippi State following the
1978 season. Doug Barfield,
former Auburn head mentor is
now at Mississippi State, which
plays the Tigers also this fall.
Wide receiverChris Collings­worth
was the biggest loss to the
Gators, who play in Auburn on
Oct. 31, and there could be some
problems at the position since
standout Tyrone Young has hurt
his knee. Young could miss the
first few games of the season.
But Florida won't be hurting
too badly since both quarter­backs
from last fall return. Bob
Hewko (6-foot-3, 190-pound
junior) passed for 529 yards on
47-of-83 passes before going
down to injury in last fall's
fourth game while Wayne
Peace (6-foot-2,217-pound soph­omore
) went 91-of-180passes for
1,271 yards. Both had five
touchdown passes.
The Gators also return both
starting backs in fullback
James Jones (6-foot-3, 236-
pound junior) and tailback
Doug Kellom (5-foot-8, 180-
pound junior). Jones led the t e am
last season with 657 y a r d s on 150
rushes while Kellom had 339
yards on 90 attempts.
Behind Young there is little-used
Spencer Jackson(5-foot-ll,
170-pound junior) and Curt
Garrett (5-foot-ll, 194-pound
senior).
Florida is blessed with a
talented tight end in Chris
Faulkner (6-foot-5, 248-pound
junior), who caught 24 passes
for 259 yards and three touch­downs
last year.
Dan Plonk (6-foot-3, 249-
pound junior) at guard, Dan
Fike (6-foot-6,262-pound junior)
at tackle and Doug Smith
(6-foot-2, 221-pound junior) at
center are the returning start­ing
linemen.
The Gator defense also lost an
outstanding player in All-SEC
linebacker David Little. But the
second leading tackier, middle
linebacker Gernando Jackson
(5-foot-ll, 207-pound junior)
returns.
Outside linebackers will be
chosen from Wilber Marshall
(6-foot-l, 225-pound sopho­more
), Mike Ricketts (5-foot-ll,
220-pound junior) and Tom
Weigmann (6-foot, 200-pound
junior).
Robin Fisher (6-foot, 240-
pound senior) returns at nose
A "PEACE" OF THE ACTION
.. .Wayne Peace passed Gators to 21-20 win last fall
guard while the tackles will be
David Gallaway (6-foot-3, 283-
pound senior), a returning star­ter,
and John Whittaker (6-foot-
2, 250-pound senior), a former
nose guard.
Returning in the secondary
will be strong safety Kyle
Knight (5-foot-9, 177-pound
senior) and cornerbacks Sonny
Gilliam (5-foot-9, 177-pound
junior) and Vito McKeever
(5-foot-ll, 177-pounds). The free
safety will be Ivory Curry
(5-foot-ll, 177-pound junior).
Meanwhile, Bob Tyler takes
over a North Texas State team
which finished 6-5 last fall and
returns a powerful defense.
The mean Green which plays
in Auburn's homecoming game
on Nov. 7, r e t u r n s eight s t a r t e rs
on defense, which will be built
around tackles Tony Elliott
(6-foot-3, 255-pound senior) and
Charlie Young (6-foot-6, 270-
pound senior).
The ends will be Jeff Beard
(6-foot-l, 210-pound junior) and
Paul Nance (6-foot-l, 210-pound
junior) while the nose guard will
be junior college transfer Mike
McMillan (6-foot-2, 260-pound
junior).
Zac Cypert (6-foot-2, 210-
pound senior) and Louis Haynes
(6-fool-l, 220-pound senior; re­turn
at the linebacking sports.
The secondary will consist of
Chuck Crowsey (6-fool-l, 181-
pound senior), Greg Womble
(6-foot, 190-pound junior), Dale
Moses (6-foot-3, 190-pound
junior) and Matt Stewart (6-
foot-1, 190-pound junior).
The battle for the quarter­back
spot is between Rustly Hill
(6-foot, 180-pound junior) and
Greg Carter (5-foot-10, 185-
pound sophomore).
One of the two will be passing
to senior Pete Harvey (5-foot-ll,
185 pounds) who caught 47
passes last season to run his
career total to 144.
The tight end will be Mark
Witle (6-foot-4, 225-pound
junior) who missed part of last
season due to injury.
The top candidates for the
vacant I-back spot will be Boby
Daniels (6-foot, 220-pound
junior) and Carlen Charleston
(5-foot-8, 180-pound sopho­more).
Charleston was the
nation's sixth best kickoff re­turner
last fall, averaging 26.7
yards a return.
Lee English (5-foot-ll, 210-
pound senior) returns at full­back
after averaging 5.9 yards
per c a r r y last season.
Picks
From page 7
Auburn placed eighth in Pigskin's
predictions of the SEC.
Sportsform selected Alabama to
finish as the number two t e am in the
country followed by Georgia in the
ninth spot, Mississippi State in the
14th spot and Florida in the 19th spot.
Sportsform gave Auburn a ninth
place finish in the SEC.
Street and Smith, the only maga­zine
that didn't pick Alabama to
finish on top of the SEC, predicted
Mississippi State, which beat Ala­bama
6-0 one year ago and broke the
Tide's 27-game winning streak in the
SEC, will finish fourth in the
country, Alabama sixth and Geor­gia

DIAMOND FACTS
FACT: There are four factors
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 body color
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.
• • i
FACT: The terms "Blue
White," "Perfect," and
"Clean" have been so mis­used
that American Gem
Society Members are for­bidden
to use them.
FACT: Cutting is a most im­portant
factor. Maximum
beauty depends on ideal
proportions. Improper cutting
diminishes the value of any
diamond. The ideally cut
stone is proportioned so that
when a ray of light enters it,
it will be reflected back,
through the crown or top of
the diamond, with the
maximum prismatic "fire"
consistent with maximum
brilliance.
Ideal cut in a diamond. A
diamond cut with the pro­portions
indicated above will
return the majority of rays fall­ing
upon its upper facets to
the eye of an observer, as in­dicated
at the right. These
proportions are designed to
produce the greatest possible
amount of brillancy and "fire"
in a diamond brilliant.
A great many claims are being made these days about "bargains"
in diamonds. Most of them sound pretty ridiculous to people in
the business of selling gemstones. However, people who are not
in the business cannot be expected to realize how nonsensical
certain claims are unless they have the facts to make a judgment.
As a member of the American Gem Society, we know the facts.
And for your sake and ours, we'd like to share them with you.
FACT: Clarity is the third
most important factor in
establishing a diamond's
value. This is the term used to
describe the presence or
absence of flaws and
blemishes. A flaw that can be
seen by the unaided eye mars
the beauty of a stone and
greatly reduces its value. So
does a distinct small external
crack known as a cleavage.
Even if this can't be seen
without a glass, it may make
the diamond more fragile and
so decreases its value.
Minute inclusions seen only
with difficulty under 10-power
magnification reduce the cost
of a diamond, but do not mar
its beauty or endanger its dur­ability.
A stone without ex­ternal
flaw or blemish that can
be seen under 10-power mag­nification
is considered flaw­less.
Some diamonds are
being altered with laser
beams to disguise these im­perfections.
A diamond cut either too deep
or too shallow below the
girdle allows an unnecessary
amount of light to escape
through its pavillion facets.
Either stone lacks maximum
"fire" and brilliancy and there­fore
is worth less per carat.
Diamond with too broad a
table. Both exhibit less "fire"
than correctly proportioned
diamonds and are therefore,
worth less per carat: above,
what is often referred to as a
"spread stone."
In seeking uniformity of
both terminology and
standards, the American
Gem Society has deve­loped
its own system for
grading a diamond.
Under this system, the
quality factors of Color
and Clarity are graded on
aOto 10 basis. A
diamond that is color­less,
and flawless would
be graded /0/0. The
poorest quality diamond
would be graded /10/10.
Tolerances are much
narrower in the better
grades, broader in the
poorer grades. The dia­gram
shows that a
diamond graded at 5
would be much closer to
the ideal of 0 than would
a stone graded at 10.
Few diamonds on the
market today will
measure up to the ideal
of 1010. However, a
diamond can vary two or
three grades from the
ideal — In Color or
Clarity and still be a very
fine and desirable gem.
• »
• i
• i
i i u
FACT: Carat weight is, in a
sense, the least important
factor in determining a
diamond's value. However, if
all other factors are equal, the
larger stone will naturally be
of greater value. It is import­ant
to understand that size
alone is no indication of the
comparative values of two or
more stones. The finer the
stone, the smaller its size at a
given price.
FACT: At Wares we let you
check the quality of the stone
you buy with equipment de­signed
for that very purpose.
As a member of the American
Gem Society, we have several
methods of showing you
fare jewelers
Muth « * • • • strMt 4 vMag* mat • aukurn, I M M
whether your diamond meets
the standards we claim for it.
1. We have a permanent set of
pre-graded Master Diamonds
against which you can com­pare
your stone for color.
2. We will show you under our
Diamondscope any stone you
care to consider. We will
point out to you any flaws or
inclusions, however tiny, that
determines its clarity.
FACT: Wares gives you a cert­ificate
specifying the qual­ities
of any diamond you
select. Ware's diamond cert­ificate
states the shape, color,
perfection, cutting, weight
and proportions. It certifies
mounting style, finger size
and replacement value. Check
the so called "guarantees" of
many firms. If they do not con­tain
this information, you may
want to find out why theytare
reluctant to put their specific
claims into writing.
FACT: Wares is a member of
the American Gem Society.
This is important because
membership in AGS not only
must be earned by passing
stringent examinations, it is
renewable yearly and can be
withheld (1) if any question
arises as to a member's know­ledge
of diamonds and other
gem stones, and (2) when
there is any question that a
member is representing his
products ethically and ac­curately.
FACT: We have been in
business in the same location
since 1946. We have 3 mem­bers
of our staff that hofd
degrees of Graduate Gemoio
gist from the Gemological
Institute of America. We have
2 members of our staff that
are Registered with the Amer­ican
Gem Society. We plan to
be right here for a long, long
time.
FACT: We have our own staff
of craftsmen. ...jewelers,
diamond setters, engravers
and watch repair personal.
Many of our sales are design­ed
and manufactured right in
our own shops.
FACT: We invite anyone
that would like to discuss dia­monds
to drop In for a "chat."
Wares trained diamond ex­perts
will explain, answer
your questions...help you to
understand diamonds. We
want your business and the
more you understand about
diamonds the better our
chances are of getting that
business.

Blind boy meets girl in Broadway comedy tonight
"Butterflies Are Free," the 1969
Broadway comedy about a blind
musician's off-beat love affair with
a crazy young actress, will be the
upcoming attraction at the Telfair
Peet Theatre as the 1981 Auburn
University Theatre Summer Reper­tory
Season continues. The play will
open tonight at 8 with seven per­formances
running through Aug. 16.
Leonard Gershe's lighthearted
romance is essentially a "boy-meets-
girl" story, except here the
boy is an overprotected affluent
youth who leaves his comfortable
and safe suburban environment to
make his own way in one of New
York's seedier neighborhoods. The
girl is an exuberant young actress
with no inhibitions about her care­less
lifestyle.
The pair meet as neighbors and
immediately are attracted to one
another. Their attraction is quickly
translated into a romance on physi­cal
terms and all would be fine for
them if it were not for the unex­pected
arrival of the boy's ultra-conservative
mother.
Wes Phinney of Stone Mountain,
6 a , will be seen as the resourceful
young blind man whose other senses
have been sharpened by a keen and
perceptive wit. The thing most
distant from his mind is self-pity,
and he delights in moving about his
apartment with such facility that he
even fools his kooky neighbor for a
time. Her insecurities, coupled with
his assurance, frustrate his mother,
who is accustomed to his depen­dence
on her.
Tracey Lee of Savannah, Ga.,
portrays the sexually liberated and
delightfully uninhibited young
actress. Nancy Lane of Auburn
'Picnic' serves feast of passions
The opening of William Inge's
•Pulitzer Prize winning romance,"
. .resented by the Auburn University
Summer Repertory last Thurday
: ijjht, turned out tobe a''Picnic" for
I he audience where one could relish
the humor, irony and sadness of life
in the privacy of a backyard setting.
The story about the disruption the
sudden appearance of a young man
causes in the routine of several
women's lives is quite entertaining,
as well as touching. The rambler,
Hal Carter (Chet Chessher), is
taken in by Mrs. Potts (Victoria
Holmes), a lonely old woman who
must care for her ill-natured,
bedridden mother.
However, Mrs. Potts' next-door
neighbor Mrs. Owens (Colette Her­ring),
disapproves of this develop­ment.
She views Hal as the same
type of man as her husband who left
her many years earlier and fears his
influence on her two teenage
daughters.
On the other hand, the daughters
Madge (Tracey Lee), the town
beauty, andMillie (Andrea Kloss), a
boisterous 16-year-old intellectual,
are enchanted by the adventure Hal
represents.
Hal's presence has the most
startling effect on the life of Mrs.
Owens' boarder Rosemary Sydney
(Donna Lou Nelson), an unmarried
schoolteacher, who realizes her
youth has gone and she soon will
have almost no chance at marriage.
Despite Madge's boyfriend, Alan
Seymour (Todd Schmidt), she and
Hal fall in love. Because of an
unfortunate series of circum­stances,
Hal is eventually forced to
leave town. Madge is faced with the
decision whether or not to follow
him.
Several humorous touches are
sprinkled throughout "Picnic"
that provide some priceless mo­ments.
The dialogue contains many
ironies, and even the serious situ­ations
have their lighter aspects.
The antics of Rosemary's old-maid
schoolteacher friends, Irma Kron-kite
(Katherine Walton) and Chris­tine
Schoenwalder (Annie Boy Ian),
who frequently seek amusement by
comparing new clothes and playing
bridge, brighten up much of the
show.
The dramatic moments of the play
are arresting: Rosemary's final
plea to her boyfriend Howard
Be vans (Ted VanDall) to marry
her; the chemistry between Madge
and Hal as they fall in love and Mrs.
Potts' final lament after Hal's
departure that' 'it was good to have a
man in the house." All of these
scenes and more allow the
emotional tension of the play to
build.
Thorough characterizations
marked the performances de­livered
by the talented cast of
"Picnic." Chessher and Lee were
adequate in their roles as young
lovers, but the depth of the play was
found in the motivations of the
troubled female characters.
Herring provided the tough pract­icality
Mrs. Owens would naturally
possess. Kloss's exuberance also
added to Millie's tomboyish be­havior
and her budding realization
of womanhood. Nelson gave the
strongest performance as a woman
who is desperate to change her
lifestyle.
The backyard porch setting adds
to the familiarity of the play and its
characters. Also, the audience is
arranged so that the seats are
groupedonandaroundthestage and
the play is performed among them
This encourages an enjoyable
intimacy between the audience and
the characters.
"Picnic" lives up to its Pulitzer
Prize-winning reputation, and this
rendition by the Auburn University
Summer Repertory does the show
proper justice. The play offers
something for everyone: drama,
humor, romance and Chessher's
bared chest (which is no small
attraction).
