Vet school probation ends
By Keith Ayers
Plainsman Staffwriter
The School of Veterinary Medi­cine
at Auburn University has
regained full accreditation from the
American Veterinary Medicine
Association after being on proba­tion
for two years.
In a letter to the University, Dr.
Leland West, association represen­tative,
said the school now meets the
essential requirements for full
accreditation.
The school went on limited
accreditation in May 1981 after an
a s s o c i a t i o n survey showed
Auburn's facilities were lacking and
that there were too many students
and too few teachers.
The association, which is based in
Chicago, gave Auburn five years to
correct the situation before it would
take away the school's accreditation
entirely.
Since going to limited accredita­tion,
Auburn has made progress
toward meeting the minimum
requirements, Dr. Thomas Vaughan,
dean of the school, said yesterday.
Included in the improvements are
reductions in the number of stu­dents
per teacher. However, in
reducing the teacher-student ratio,
the number of students accepted
each year in the school has been
trimmed from 115 to 90.
There have been repairs in the
school's laboratories and buildings,
Vaughan said.
While schools are usually given
accreditation in seven-year terms,
Auburn is getting accreditation for
only two years. Association repre­sentatives
will return in the spring
of 1985 to decide if accreditation
should be extended.
Vaughan said Auburn is getting a
reprieve and some time to continue
improving its program. He said the
school needs to establish at least 10
more faculty positions and have its
$5 million state allocation increased
by 30 percent before the next
examination.
He said he would like to use the
increase to bring Auburn's faculty
salaries up to a more competitive
scale, for additional repairs to build-ings
and for other capital
improvements.
"Our record of skating so close to
the edge has created concern. They
don't want to give us the impression
that they are dismissing us from
their attention," Vaughan said.
"We have not won the war."
West said, "the expressed need for
a review after two years was based
chiefly on the financial problems of
the school. While the financial
situation has been greatly improved
since the last complete examination
in 1981, further increases will be
needed in the immediate future."
The Auburn veterinary school has
about 435 students and 80 faculty
members.
A degree from an accredited
school is required for licensing in
every state.

Peterson views future
ofAuburnoptimistically
By Kelley Glover
Plainsman Staffwriter
Curt Peterson, a professor of bi­ology
and the newly elected chair­man
of the University Senate and
general faculty, views Auburn's
future optimistically and feels that
"the only way we are going is up."
The University Senate is an
organization that consists of
approximately 85 elected represen­tatives
from every department or
unit on campus, plus nine adminis­trative
representatives selected
from, school deans and vice presi­dents
and appointed by the
president.
The Senate meets monthly to act
on University related matters such
as academic, curriculum and
admissions standards. The Senate
is divided into standing committees,
which review these matters and
make recommendations to the pres­ident
as to what action it feels
should be taken.
Working as a separate body from
the University Senate, the general
faculty holds meetings twice a year,
and on occasion holds ad hoc
meetings.
It is Peterson's job to preside over
meetings of both the University
Senate and the general faculty.
As last year's chairman elect,
Peterson said he had the opportun-

The Budget and Finance Commit­tee
of the SGA Student Senate made
its final cuts from the requested
budgets presented by eight campus
organizations.
The budgets were presented to the
senate by the directors of each
organization.
The money being distributed to
these organizations is collected
from the $8 student activity fees
paid by students each quarter in the
payment of tuition.
The Tiger Cub originally
requested $17,659.00 for funding
from student activity fees, a 2
percent increase from last year's
funding.
The Tiger Cub received its largest
budget cut on Wednesday night of
$4494 in printing.
Th«»cut will take all color out of
the book and reduce the paper to the
same grade as the paper in the
Circle magazine. The Tiger Cub will
print 9,000 copies of the book, the
same number that was printed last
year.
The Glomerata orginally re­quested
$104,544.00 for allocation
from this year's funds. However,
when the senate brought forward
money from the Glomerata's
contingency fund the request was
reduced to $78,389.00
The contingency fund was
established to serve as emergency
funding in the case of unexpected
expenses. This year, for example,
the Glomerata went overbudget by
$6,000 in printer charges, said Lynn
Brown, current editor.
"We're in desperate need for a
contingency fund," said Charlotte
Borden, editor-elect. "With the
budget we're working with we will
have no extra money and no pennies
to be pulling from."
The senate also passed a
recommendation to cut a signature
of $2,876 from printing costs - the
equivalent of 16 pages - from the
1983-84 Glomerata.
This year's Glomerata was cut by
32 pages, 16 pages of full color, all
spot color and the number of books

printed was decreased.
"Last year the Glom was the third
largest yearbook in the nation,"
Borden said. "It won't be in the
same standing next year."
The Auburn Plainsman which
originally requested $41,675,12, a 9
percent increase from last year,
received its largest cut of $5,000 for
its contingency fund.
The Plainsman instituted a
contingency fund in 1978 because of
an error that was made when
$12,000 allocated to be used during
the summer of 1977 was also shown
on the computer for the 1977-78
fiscal year. By 1980 the Plainsman
had about $26,000 in deficit
spending, according to Joy Bufford,
accounts supervisor of the
Plainsman.
The Communications Board
recommended that the Plainsman
establish a contingency fund to
safeguard against unexpected
problems.
"We're running expensive and
sophisticated equipment and when
it breaks down you're looking at
spending thousands of dollars,"
Bufford said, "We're walking a tight­rope
and will possibly need to re­arrange
revenue."
Recreational Services requested
$183,725.00 from student activity
funds, a 115 percent increase from
last year.
The biggest cut Recreational Ser­vices
received during the last days
of the committee was $3,000 in
equipment.
"We have whittled a lot of budgets
down to the bone," said Ken Guin,
ex-officio member of the budget and
finance committee. "This budget
still has a lot to work with. We're not
cutting back on the services, but the
extravagance."
The senate reinstated $350 to the
SGA for its student lobby.
"The lobby has had a positive
effect in Montgomery and we need
to keep it up," Guin said.
Guin said the lobby is currently
looking into establishing polling
places on campus for major elec­tions,
and holding city council elec­tions
during quarters when a major­ity
of students are in Auburn.
WEGL-FM asked for $28,282.00 in
its 1983-84 budget request, a five
percent increase from last year.
The senate reinstated $1,100 to
WEGL to allow it to purchase a
playback machine which was cut in
earlier committee session.
Additional money left over from
the student activity fees will be
placed in the SGA contingency
fund, a reserve fund to aid organiza­tions
in the case of an emergency.
When organizations need addi­tional
money they can request it by
going back before the budget and
finance committee.
Bryan Keim, ex-officio member of
budget and finance, said, "We're not
too sure about a lot of things at this
point and by keeping this money in
the reserve fund, the Plainsman and
the Glom can come back to us as the
need arises."
Glen Fradenburg, SGA vice pres­ident
said, "Our job as budget and
finance is for people to come to us for
money as they need it."
Members of the budget and
finance committee include Julie
Harbarget (chairman), Curt Bilby,
David Caradine, Lee Gresham, Bill
Mathews, Tucker Maddox, Beth
Milldrum, Ben Reeves, Danny
Smith, John Stein, Mark Kantor
and Chuck Ledbetter. Ex-officio
members are Jay Burke, Lauren
Fowler, Jeff Mullins, Bryan Keim,
Ken Guin, Reese Waite and Doug
Beverly.

Scott Hancock thought it would be fun
to start driving the horse and buggy to
school on Fridays. It would also save
money on gas, he reasoned.
The buggy was typical of those driven
by his wife's Amish kinfolk in Holmes
County, Ohio. Scott and his wife, Rosetta,
had used it on their wedding day, but
since moving to Auburn two,years ago,
they had drive the buggy as a hobby,
mainly on weekends.
So Scott and a friend awoke early Fri­day
morning and hitched the buggy. The
trip from their home near Chewacla to
Wire Road would take an hour and a half,
and Scott, a second year vet student, did
not want to miss any of his classes. But
the horse became spooked by something,
and ran wildly through the adjacent
woods, ripping the canopy off the black
buggy.
They tried again that afternoon, to ven­ture
out on the highway, coming within a
half-mile of their destination before the
axel on the buggy broke.
On Wire Road, cars travel fast, and
people are not accustomed to driving
behind a horse-drawn carriage. Most stu­dents
find it easier to jump in a new auto­mobile
and simply turn a key, or deal with
return to basics
ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION
.The Hancocks and neighborhood friends go for a ride
flat tires instead of broken axels, but
Hancock wants to try again when the
buggy is repaired.
The Hancocks have made a few
adjustments since they moved to Auburn.
They are Mennonites, a group of devout
Christians intent on living the simple life,
in which their lives are centered on the
family and religion.
There is no Mennonite church in
Auburn, so they attend the Christian
Missionary Alliance Church. Rosetta had
always worn a small, white prayer veil on
her head, which had always worn a small,
white prayer veil on her head, which is the
custom for Mennonite women, not only
during church services but daily as well.
However, she stopped wearing it after her
arrival at Auburn because college stu­dents
made fun of her, she says.
"In our home community, you were
respected," she says, "but people here just
do not understand."
When Scott and Rosetta first met, their
religious upbringing was so different,
they thought a future together would be
impossible. Scott was raised in a Catholic
environment, while Rosetta was raised a
Mennonite.

INTERNATIONAL
FAKE DIARIES
BONN—Nazi hunter Simon
Wiesenthal charged Sunday that
the West German magazine
Stern had acted irresponsibly in
publishing the fake Hitler diar­ies,
and that it was "not the first
time" the magazine had been
duped.
Weisenthal spoke out after the
resignation of two of Stern's
three chief editors after Friday's
announcement by the West Ger­man
government that chemical
tests showed the 62 documents
were fakes.
AFGHANISTAN EXPELS
PAKISTAN—The government
of Afhanistan expelled an Amer­ican
diplomat Sunday purport­edly
for having engaged "in the
sex and pornography business."
Radio Kabulm, monitored in
Pakistan, said Peter Graham
was given 48 hours to leave the
country for distributing "illegal
magazines" aimed at "perveting
Afhan youth." It did not elabo­rate
on the charge, but the State
Department said it was "ludi­crous
and wholly without foun­dation."
It is believed to be the
first expulsion of an American
since Soviet troops invaded the
country in 1979.
NATIONAL
FIXED RATES
WASHINGTON—Former Vice
President Walter F. Mondale, a
candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination, is cal­ling
for a system of fixed
exchange rates to hold the dollar
to "a more realistic value" in rela­tion
to currencies of major Euro­pean
trading partners.
Mondale called for a system that
would provide a "tunnel or chan­nel"
within which currency
values would be allowed to move.
Nine European nations have
operated under a similar system
since 1979, but it does not include
the United States.

HOUSE OKs FREEZE
WASHINGTON—The House,
by a 278-149 margin, passed the
long-debated resolution calling
for a "mutual and verifiable"
nuclear weapons freeze, but only
after President Reagan's forces
won a key concession tying a
freeze to a reduction in weapons.
As amended, the resolution
urges that in strategic arms talks
with the Soviet Union, the United
States should have the objective
of "an immediate, mutual, and
verifiable freeze, then pursuing
the objective of negotiating
immediate, mutual, and verifia­ble
reductions."

As early as next week, Lee County
residents may for the first time be
able to go to their local restaurant
for a mug of draft beer or to their
local beer store to buy a keg.
One of the many pieces of local
legislation facing state lawmakers
no disapproval from the Lee County
delegation. He says the bill could be
made into law as early as the end of
next week.
For years, kegs of draft beer have
been common sights at fraternity
parties and other social gatherings
at AU, but in the past students have
had to drive to nearby counties.
STATE
LEGISLATURE WORKS
MONTGOMERY—Appearing
tough on crime is rarely far from
the hearts of most Alabama
lawmakers, and in this election
year it has been a downright
passion.
So far, six bills have been
introduced in each house that
would toughen the laws against
drunken drivers. These include
lowering the minimum blood
alcohol content from. 1 percent to
.08 percent to determine if a per­son
is legally drunk, providing
stiffer penalties for the first con­viction
for driving under the
influence of alcohol or drugs and
higher fines.
PORNO COMPLAINTS
MONTGOMERY—Complaints
from parents billed for telephone
calls to "pornographic" hotlines
have been bounced to Washing­ton
by State Public Service
Commissioner Jim Folsom Jr.
Folsom said the PSC can't do
anything for angry parents open­ing
phone bills to find their child­ren
are calling the advertised
numbers because they are out-of-state.
The PSC can only regulate
numbers that operate in
Alabama.
U.S. Attorney John Bell said he
is "looking into" the hotlines at
the commission's request.
including Macon, to buy it.
Before Macon County began
actively distributing draft in Janu­ary
1982, students would often find
themselves in trouble with the law
for bringing draft across state lines
from Georgia.
Since Columbus, Ga., was the
closest place where draft could be
legally sold, students would go there
to buy it. Often, they would find a
person with a military identifica­tion
card so they could buy non-taxed
beer at Fort Benning.
Henry Henderson, AU student
legal adviser, said he had an ongo­ing
problem with students in trouble
with authorities for bringing
untaxed beer from Georgia.
"We had enough students getting
in trouble to make us constantly
award of the problem." Henderson
said.
Henderson says he saw a radical
change when Macon began selling
draft. If the new law passes, Lee
County retailers will be able to sell
draft and the road to Macon County
will be much less busy on weekends,
Henderson says.
Who do students want draft beer?
Robert McCullough Jr., president of
Eagle Distributing Company in
Opelika, says it is the price.
While a can of beer containing 12
ounces wholesales for about 55
cents, the same amount of draft beer
runs about a dime less, which really
adds up when large groups are
involved, he said. He says the taste
is the same.
Draft beer, unlike bottled or
canned beer, can be packaged in
bulk containers.

Legislature faces
drinking age bill
By Tina Perry
Plainsman Staffwriter
Auburn University students
under the age of 21 may be legally
prohibited from buying, transport­ing
or drinking alcoholic beverages
if bills recently introduced before
the Alabama Legislatuare become
law.
In addition to the bills which
would change Alabama's legal age
from 19 to 21, several bills have been
introduced which would stiffen the
penalities received for drunken driv­ing
convictions.
The alcohol-related bills must
pass both legislative houses before
Gov. George Wallace can sign them
into law, according to Sen. Ted Lit­tle
of Auburn. At this time, most of
the Senate bills and both House bills
are still in the Senate's and House's
Judiciary Committees.
Some of the Senate bills, if passed
by the Legislature and signed by
Gov. Wallace, will require public
vote because they would be amend­ments
to the state constitution, said
Sen. Bill Smith, sponsor of several
of the alcohol-related bills.
But the House bills, is passed by
the Legislature, would not require
public vote because they would be
statutory laws, said Rep. Curtis
Smith, sponsor of the two legal-age
bills in the House.
If the bills requiring public vote
pass both legislative houses and are
signed by the governor before the
legislative session ends Aug. 1, the
bills could possibly be placed on the
ballot for the November elections,
Smith said.
If the legal age is changed to 21,
people who turned 19 before the law
was passed will be "grandfathered
in," according to Little. This term
means they will retain the rights
granted them under the previous
law, he said, and will not be affected
by a legal-age change.
"The typical college student will
be exempt" from the effects of a pos­sible
legal-age change, and "the typ­ical
high school student will be
included," Little said.
Similar alcohol-related proposals
have been made in the Legislature
for the past two year, according to
Smith, but didn't pass. The possibil­ity
for passage of the current legisla­tion
is stronger than previously,
however, because of the Mothers
Against Drunk Drivers (MADD)
organization is supporting it, he
said.
In addition to the support from
MADD, the chance for passage of
the alcohol-related legislation is
strong because "Governor Wallace
has endorsed it," Little said.
Stricter legislation regarding
drunken driving would result in
" more convictions" on the Universi­ty's
campus, said Jack Walton, chief
of the University's police depart­ment.
However, the department is
already "bearing down on enforce­ment"
in drunken driving incidents
because of the recent alcohol-related
deaths of two University students.
Ted Worthington, manager of the
Alabama Beverage Control Board's
(ABC) State Store in Auburn, said
he believes the legal age law, is
passed, will not have a major effect
on sales. They will, however, "be
checking a lot of ID's' if the legal-age
bill becomes law, he said.
Rick Williams of the Hungry Hun­ter's
Tally-Ho Tavern in Auburn
said he believes his business would
be greatly affected by the change in
the state's legal age.
"Probably 50 to 60 percent of our
business "at night is 19 to 20-year-olds,"
he said.
Two or three of his employees
"would have to be fired" if the legal
age is changed because it would be
illegal for them to serve alcoholic
beverages, he said.
END OF THE LINE—An escapee from a federal prison in Seagoville, Texas was
apprehended by police after a high speed car chase ended in an accident on Wire
Road yesterday afternoon. The chase began when Alabama State Troopers
attempted to stop James Wayne Sikes in Macon County for a traffic violation.
Sikes, who was convicted of attempted murder and kidnapping in Texas, fled
from state troopers down Wire Road. The chase ended after Sikes drove through
two road blocks on Wire Road hitting an Auburn Police detective's car at the
second road block between Webster Road and the Large Animal Clinic at the
Veterinary School. Sikes was ejected from his car when it overturned, and was
transported to East Alabama Medical Center with multiple injuries.

Waldorf chef in Auburn
works for 'Big A' dream
CULINARY ART
.Alton Thomas paints barbecue ribs
By David Benson
Plainsman Staffwriter
Although the sign still reads
"Uncle Albert's" the simulated log
cabin is no longer home to that
establishment. The location now is
a restaurant belonging to the "Big
A's," Alton and Adele Thomas.
The former sign remains in front
of the new establishment because
the Thomas' new sign has not
arrived. But the chef at Big A's
doesn't need a sign to advertise his
culinary abilities.
Alton and Adele have recently
moved from New York City where
Alton worked as a chef in the Wal­dorf
Astoria Restaurant. He says he
has prepared some of the finest
meals for some of the world's richest
people.
"Dinner was about $80 at the
Waldorf," Thomas says, "and I can
serve you the same thing for about
$3.00" He goes on to add that one
often pays a lot for the name and
prestige of the hotel.
Thomas has also worked at more
than just the Waldorf. Some other
fine restaurants in New York and
Pennsylvania have had his skilled
hands working in their kitchens,
such as the Tamarak and Rob Roy.
But the frigid weather and the
desire to open his own business
brought Thomas to Auburn. "I was
tired of shoveling snow and ice,"
says the Texas-born chef. He and
his wife, who was born in Alabama,
remained in New York for more
than 30 years before finally making
the move to Alabama.
Thomas smiles when asked where
he learned to cook. "I studied under
some of the best chefs in New York,"
he says, stressing that his best
recipes come from his wife. He has
prepared a wide variety of foods in
his lifetime, but says that ribs
cooked with his wife's recipe are one
of the finest dishes he has ever
served. "They are so tender a tooth­less
person could enjoy them." he
says.
Thomas offers a variety of food at
Big A's, from barbeque to subma­rine
sandwiches and even home­made
pie. Ribs, however, will be the
restaurant's specialty. Currently
the only ribs served are barbequed
with his wife's special recipe. How­ever,
beginning later this month
Thomas hopes to begin serving
gourmet ribs.
"Brandied ribs, ribs with wine or
cognac and, of course, barbeque ribs
will be the specialties," Thomas
says. The chef says he wants to
bring good gourmet food to the area
and keep it reasonably priced.
Right now the Thomas' have a
small organization, with Adele
working as waitress and cashier
and her husband as chef. "But one
day," vows Thomas, "I'm going to
put up the biggest barbeque place in
the world." Thomas says it will
require seating for several thousand
people to qualify for that honor but

Broun Hall awaiting demolition;
Engineering building to take its place
By Lisa Ronchetti
Plainsman Staffwriter
Campus Architect Tom Tillman
said that plans for the removal of
Broun Hall and the construction of
E n g i n e e r i n g Building 2 are
progressing as scheduled.
. "Last year, the Board of Trustees
made the decision to tear down
Broun Hall. That decision still
stands. We have gone ahead and
started planning for Engineering
Building 2 to go on that site. We
have hired an architect. We have
started making soil investigations
and have started with the
topographic survey of the site,"
Tillman said.
He said he hopes that the
drawings will be completed and the
project ready for bids in ap­proximately
11 months-March,
1984. Construction of the en­gineering
building would start
shortly after the removal of Broun
Hall. However, a demolition date
has not yet been determined.
The School of Engineering needs
the space occupied by Broun Hall for
its proposed expansion. This
expansion is outlined in a plan
drawn up by Fransman, Davis and
Associates of Atlanta and calls for
the construction of up to five
separate buildings, all of which are
consistently scaled with other
campus buildings.
An earlier plan by this firm called
for the construction of a building the
size of Haley Center to accomodate
all the needs of the School of
Engineering under one roof. This
plan was rejected because of
concern voiced by the admin­istration,
faculty and community
about the size of this proposed
structure. '
But concern is not the only reason
Broun Hall is being removed. Til­lman
pointed out that there are
other problems with the building
conforming to the state of Alaba­ma's
building codes., The interior of

Enough complaints
The half million dollars has been
sliced up and tossed to the winds. The
winds being the various student
activities.
The 12 green senators at the round
t a b l e divided the ever-shrinking
$500,000 in the student activity fee
kitty. The SGA budget and finance
committee did their best, but in the end
it wasn't enough.
Every student activity, The Plains­man
being one, h a s reason to blast the
senate for the sloppy job. But we're not
going to.
Instead, we're going to put ourselves
in their position. The senators were
working with an incredibly complex
budget and eight separate budgets,
almost all playing hide-and-seek with
padded items. The total amount of stu­dent
fee revenues has fallen, while the
economics of running students pro­jects
has risen severely. In addition,
the senate had only a couple of weeks
to prepare the budget hearing, and
then only a couple more weeks to com­plete
the budget. All this was without
any prior experience.
We all have reason to complain for
this year's budget results (i.e. we all
were cut funds "that we can't do with­out").
But we need to stop a moment
and realize what the senate had to
It's raining Gloms
work with and give them the out. Few
of us could have done better.
The senators know this. They know
exactly what they went through and
t h a t they did as much as could be
expected under t h e present system. For
this reason, t h e senators are in t h e best
position to see t h a t the system needs
changing, and they are the only ones
in the position to change it.
What they need to do is prepare the
budget at the end of their terms,
instead of a t the beginning. This is the
year to start.
They have gained a solid base of
budget understanding the hard way.
They should now follow it up over the
next year by periodically checking on
the various projects and learning more
about their fiscal side. Then in March,
they should do next year's budget.
Nobody can walk in off the street
and s t a r t making decisions a t t h e UPC
or t h e WEGL, let alone tell them how to
spend their money. The SGA should be
no different. They should not play one
of the most important roles for all stu­dent
projects without getting a basic
picture of what's going on.
No, when we think about it, we can't
get mad a t you senators for this year's
budget woes. We've got to put ourselves
in your position.
Please put yourselves in ours.

I love 'em.

They think it's a gas.

Drinking age to 21?
In another attempt to combat death
on the highway due to alcohol, the
Alabama state legislature is once
again considering raising the drinking
age. This time it's to 21.
The objective is great, and this may
be the only workable solution. But
there are a few alternatives.
The idea is to stop younger, more
inexperienced drinkers from driving
drunk, not to stop them from drinking.
If the legislature wants 19 a n d 20-year-

olds to drink and drive less, they could
lower the blood-alcohol content for
DUI from .10 percent to .05 percent for
the younger drivers. This would link
the law closer to the desired results.
The younger people would still be able
to drink, but they would have to think
much harder before getting behind the

But there are cons to this argument
too, and it is difficult to solve the
highway-alcohol menace.
As usual, there were splintered opin­ions

the age should be raised outright
because of the specific gravity of the
problem. Others went with the pre­viously

wanted the age to stay the same or be

Thursday, May 12, 1983
I get fooled constantly by the same guy.
He's my ego; he's very convincing.
I know another guy. He's my perception.
He wants me to see things the way they are
so I can know truth. My ego is like a cruis­ing
battleship. My perception is about the
size of a pea.
Perception will be telling me how insig­nificant
I am in the scheme of the cosmos.
Just then my ego will stumble in, drunk on
self-deception, and begin raving. "No!
You're a big deal! Demand special
treatment!"
My perception wants me to feel good
about my lot in life. "You're one of the luck­iest
people on earth. You should never be
unhappy. You could have been born a bug!"
But then my ego: "Your problems are
many. You are alone and no one under­stands.
You deserve More! More! More!"
Whenever I've just had an argument, my
perception saysv "Forget about it. It's not
worth it." But my ego will carry on for
hours. "I've got it! The perfect comeback!
Why didn't I think of it when that guy was
being such a jerk? I really hate him. He has
so many faults, too. Let's list them, shall
we?" Egos waste a lot of time.
There are a lot of egos walking around
these days. Egos ride in sports cars with the
windows down and the radio at full blast so
three city blocks can share their superior
taste in music. Egos sit in the stands at
football games and let everyone know they
could call better plays than the coach.
Egos talk loudly in restaurants and
laugh at their own jokes. This is to
announce that anyone not dining with
them is settling for a great deal less than
what life has to offer.
Egos must have a cool image. They wear
mirror sunglasses and t-shirts that say,
"I'm a wild and crazy guy." Egos drink too
much and put on party hats. My ego hates
other egos.
Being held hostage by your ego is
nothing to be ashamed of. Egos are muscu­lar
and have hairy arms. Most mornings
my ego pulls me out of bed by the collar,
"Go out today and believe you are not the
same as others." I usually just hand over
my brains without a struggle.
Egos give each of us a moral code based
on what's best for our interests at any par­ticular
time. We all do this. We'll be trying
to cross the street, "These damn drivers,
they never stop at the cross walks. They
think they own the road!" Ten minutes
later we're driving in our car, "Look at
these damn pedestrians! All over the road!
Why don't they stay on the sidewalks
where they belong?"
This kind of "my-group-correctness" can
be a lot of fun, like when we're rooting for
our football team. We look at the Crimson
Tide like the Jews looked at the Philistines.
God himself has ordained Pat Dye to lead
us out of the wilderness and smite our ene­mies
at Alabama, Georgia and any other
rat-hole they may come from on our way to
the national championship that we, the
chosen people, so richly deserve. And of
course we'd believe the War Eagle/Ark of
the Covenant even if we went to Tusca­loosa,
right?
But "my-group-correctness" is not
always to be taken lightly, as any ax-handle
victim will attest. Instead, we
should thank the gays, politicians, hippies
and James Watt, or maybe bake them a
cake. Their presence on earth makes us
happy. Our egos would be very sad without
someone to call incorrect.
A few people are going to be pretty shook
up when we get to heaven, and we're just a
bunch of souls floating around like glowing
ping-pong balls.
are the blacks? Arid
the Jews? And the rednecks? We can't tell
'em apart! How are we gonna feel superior?
. .What? We're all the same? You just dis­guised
us?. . .It was Your idea of situation
comedy?"
Some groups are so alike that it's scary,
but egos must find differences. Liberals
and conservatives are hilarious. Conserva­tives
hate the Communists. Liberals hate
the Communists too, but are nice to themto
irritate the conservatives.
And the conservatives don't hate minori­ties
half as much as they hate liberals.
"Stop welfare!" they sneer at pinkos.. "Let
the bums get a job. Hell, a Mexican can get
into college easier than my son."
To strike back, liberals go off the other
end. A liberal will be pointing out a black
guy standing with six white guys. "Uh, the
gentleman over there in the green shirt.",
Making sense is never to be considered
when the object is to disagree.
"Just because I'm white, it doesn't mean
I owe you anything! The middle class sup­ports
America!" a middle-class, white con­servative
will tell a middle-class, white
liberal.
The liberal ego gets funny too. "What?
We've been putting down the negroes?
How could this have happened? Quick, put
on some jazz!" . .
The blacks also have to be different. They
have groups I don't understand like the
NAACP, The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People. Here's a
group that's for the advancement of blacks,
but still calls them colored people. Must be
a white guy running it.
Prejudice is a serious thing. Even I am
persecuted for the color of my skin. Some
bigots came up to me the other day. "Tim,
where's your tan? Don't you get any rays?
Stand back snowman, you're making me
go blind!"
What a shock. My own people.
Thinking about this stuff is perception.
Printing it in a newspaper for everyone to
read is ego.
In opposition to graduation
In a few weeks, some 1,500 seniors will
walk across the stage in Memorial Coli­seum
and with the shake of an interim pres­ident's
hand, magically become a full-fledged
member of adult society with all the
responsibilities there entailed.
I will not be one of them. More signifi­cantly,
even if I were graduating, I would
not be one of them.
After attending a number of Auburn
graduation ceremonies, I no longer have
the desire to spend $30 or $40 on invitations
and take the.time to address them, just to
have some poor unsuspecting soul pull it
out of his mail box and feel suddenly mis­erable.
He will feel miserable because: 1)
He is a relative and can remember when I
was knee-high to a grasshopper with buck-teeth
and freckles, so my graduation
announcement would only make him feel
old even though I still have buc"k-teeth and
freckles, or 2) He's a friend, fresh out of
school himself, who has already gotten a
dozen graduation invitations from friends
on the semester system and he can't afford
to buy another present. He knows, how­ever,
that he will suffer a Lady MacBeth-sized
guilt-complex if he doesn't, so he can't
win either way.
Parents, though they never admit it, are
by far the worst victims of a graduation
ceremony. Of course it makes them feel old,
and of course they have to buy presents
(though they're already in debt after send­ing
the kids to college.) But, on top of that,
all they have to look forward to is a long
drive to Auburn where they will sit in a hot
auditorium and watch their child cross a
stage and then disappear like a bleep
across a video screen. Then, they will have
to drive all the way home because the Heart
of Auburn could never accomodate the
deluge of graduation day parents.
For me it's just not worth it to buy a $5.95
gown with which to cover up my best dress
and then sit, sweating in metal chairs and
watching my curls fall. By the time they call
my name, I'm sure both of my legs would
have fallen asleep in the cramped aisle so
that as I tried to rise gracefully, I would
pitch forward, face-first, crushing the
cardboard cap in front of me.
It seems almost insulting that they can
dismiss four years of hard work by mispro­nouncing
your name into a microphone
and then shaking your hand.
Even those ambitious souls who earn
honors and high honors get no more than a
fuzzy star or two by their names on a pro­gram
which nobody notices.
By the end of the ordeal, everyone, is
yawning and fanning himself with the
program he hasn't read.
Then there's always a mass exodus-and
all the graduates appear to have their pic­tures
made with, a polaroid instamatic.
After only a few seconds a whole family
can cluster around the developing image of
a person, with a silly smirk on his face,
cardboard on his head and a tassel in Ms
eyes.
At last, mom and dad go on their way and
the new graduate demonstrates his matur­ity
by going to the bar he's enjoyed most for
four years to get as drunk as he ever has in
four years.
What's the significance? This is sup-,
posed to be one of our most important rites
of passage. The chimes should ring! There
should be dancing by the band. Why nol
have a grand scale celebration including a
classic rolling of Toomer's Corner?
After all this is the culmination of years
of growing and learning and the true justi­fication
of this institution's existence.
We're supposed to pass a test?
Some 3,000 high school seniors in Florida
are mighty upset because they won't be
walking up to receive their diploma this
year.
It is not that they haven't made the
grades to graduate; it is that they have not
been able to pass a functional literary test.
Now how in the world do we think that
students who have been in school for 12
years could ever pass a test covering math,
reading, and writing? Honestly, aren't we
expecting a bit too much from the
18-year-olds?
On the test, students were asked to figure
discounts, compute sales tax, use graphs,
tables and maps, do comparison shopping,
separate fact from opinion, balance checks
and pick out details. Students are given five
chances to take the exam, beginning in the
10th grade, and those who fail their last
attempt will receive certificates of comple­tion
instead of diplomas.
Well, five chances might not be enough. I
mean, they should not be expected to pass
any test on only five tries. Alabama's law,
which goes into effect with the graduating
class of 1985, will only allow four chances
to pass the exam.
Gracious. You mean they'll not get any
more chances? Why, it might keep them
" " 1 1 • _>

Shubert
from graduating and entering the jobless
lines. I'd hate to think we were keeping stu­dents
in high school because they can't
read and write.
Of course, two-thirds of the students who
failed the Florida exam were black. This is
a considerably larger percentage than their
white classmates, of which only 1.4 percent
failed the test. Blacks have called the exam
"racial and culturally biased." But a U.S.
district judge upheld the use of the test to
determine if diplomas would be handed out
to students.
Well, if we're going to be fair, let's be fair.
If one person is going to be forced to suffer
through the exam, all students should. If a
high school senior cannot read, write and
reason well enough to pass a literacy test,
how can they be expected to function in
today's rapidly expanding world?
Sometimes I think we are placing too
much of the blame on the students and not
enough on the system. The current educa­tional
system has drawn a lot of heat over
the past couple of weeks, as national educa­tors
are attempting to re-vamp the current"
education programs. Judging from the
results of the Florida examination, their
attempts may be justified. They have pro­posed
that the federal government should
support programs that teach children tor
speak, read and write English as quickly as;
possible by "immersing" them in the lan­guage.
Obviously several thousands of
high school seniors across the country
should have been subjected to a more in-depth
study of English and mathematics.
No high school senior wants to be denied
a diploma after 12 years of schooling, but I
was always under the impression that a
student was supposed to earn that diploma.-
If something is not done to correct the
problems of our educational system, the
students will not be the only ones to suffer.
It is those students that eventually become
active members in our society, community'
and world. I don't know about you, but I
would like to think our future includes a
place for the students of today, tomorrow
and the years to come. Maybe with a few
adjustments, and a few more tests, it can.
A-5 The Auburn Plainsman Thursday, May 12, 1983
Opinion
Example should be followed
Editor, The Plainsman,
Last week, the Committee for the
Humanities in Alabama and Auburn
University sponsored a multidisciplinary
conference on "Foreign Languages and
I n t e r n a t i o n a l Trade for a Better
Alabama." The keynote speaker at this
event was the Honorable Paul Simon,
Congressman from Illinois. In his speech
entitled "Speaking the Language of Our
Customers,"Congressman Simon detailed
the importance of Foreign Language
studies for human, economic, military and
diplomatic reasons.
Among the participants in this event
were two people who belong to a group that
has not traditionally been involved in the
academic or the humanities programs of
Auburn University, Mr. Robert E. Lowder,
and Mr. James T. Tatum, two of the newest
members of the Board of Trustees.
I would like to publicly thank Mr. Lowder
and Mr. and Mrs. Tatum for taking the time
to come to campus for this event, for sup­porting
the efforts of the Foreign Language
faculty, and for their interest in the academic
programs of Auburn University. In fact,
Mr. Lowder brought as his guests two state
senators—the Honorable Roger Bedford of
Russellville and the Honorable Danny
Corbett of Opelika—and Mrs. Lynn Glenn
Freedman, the daughter of U.S. Senator
John Glenn.
Mr. and Mrs. Tatum extended their stay
in Auburn beyond Congressman Simon's
lecture to attend a reception in honor of the
guest speaker and the conference
participants. The Tatums spoke at great
length with members of the Auburn faculty
and graduate and undergraduate students
in the Foreign Language department.
Before leaving, they expressed their
pleasure in meeting the faculty and
students and their interest in participating
in other events.
If more trustees would follow the
example of Mr. Lowder and Mr. Tatum, the
Board may develop a better understanding
of Auburn University, including its faculty
and its academic programs.
Thank you Mr. Lowder and Mr. and Mrs.
Tatum.

Glomerata being distributed
Editor, The Plainsman,
Today is the last day of distribution of
the 1983 Glomerata, the story of this past
year.
The book is not perfect; as editor, I will be
the first one to admit it. But approximately
50 students have volunteered hundreds of
hours of their time to tell your story of 1983
from a student's point of view. In 20 years,
maybe as few a s two years, this book may
be the only recollection of this year, your
year at Auburn.
That's why I was really disappointed
with the respect that this book received
from some of the members of the SGA
Budget and Finance Committee, not all by
no means, but perhaps the most vocal of
them.
The book being distributed today is the
eighty-sixth volume of the Glomerata. The
book is more than four times as old as I am.
Sometimes this past year when I was edit­ing
the book, the thought of upholding the
quality of a book that old, that respected,
really scared me. Those thoughts should
' have been on the minds of the 12 B&F
members.
The Glomerata is one of the largest year­books
in the nation and, according to our
publisher, probably one of the most presti-gious.
Students pay less than $8 for the book
•when they pay three quarters of tuition. My
high school yearbook four years ago cost
me more than that and I think this book is a
bargain from the student activity fees.
I would like to encourage each student to
pick up their yearbook and show the twelve
SGA B&F members that the Glomerata is
one Auburn tradition that shouldn't have
to be altered—again.

Be considerate of pedestrians
Editor, The Plainsman,
Last week I was driving down Thach
between Foy Union and the Social Center
Lawn. Traffic was moving extremely slow.
I finally reached the source of the delay.
There was a group of students gathered
alongside and in the middle of the road. In
the center of the throng lay the prone body
of a student that I assume had been struck
by a car. What was even more disturbing
was that the injured party was laying right
beside the painted white lines of a cross­walk.
This alarming scene reminded me of
Thanks to Talons

We would like to express our sincere
appreciation to Talons for holding a clo­thing
drive recently and to all those who
participated in the drive. Our congratula­tions
to Alpha Xi. Delta and Farm House
who won the spirit competition.
Many, many fine articles of clothing,
including shoes and purses, were donated.

help in this way.
Katey Likis
Volunteer & Special Projects Coordinator
James A. Slaughter
Director
the many times I have almost been struck
or observed others' close calls with cars that
were moving at too great a speed or just
simply failed to stop and allow pedestrians
to cross. Not only have I witnessed near-
' misses on Thach, but also between Dorm 10
and Parker Hall, and various other places
around campus. My motivation for writing
this is as a reminder to those inconsiderate
drivers who totally ignore pedestrians
and speed limits on campus, showing their
disregard not only for the law, but for the
safety of others. Crosswalks are created as
designated areas for pedestrians to cross
the street, and these pedestrians are
ALWAYS entitled to the right-of-way. .
The easiest way for motorists to avoid
delay is to simply stay off campus during
class breaks. There are other routes that
will not only help you reach your destina­tion
faster, but will do so without endanger­ing
the lives of others. However, if you must
drive on campus, please remember for your
own sake as well as others' to drive slowly
and carefully, and that pedestrians have
the right-of-way. Also, do not let other
inconsiderate drivers goad you into hurry­ing
or trying to dart quickly through a
small break in pedestrian traffic by blow­ing

of extra minutes it may take you to

the avoidance of an accident for which you,

responsible. A little thoughtfulness! and
consideration not only is polite, it could
prevent serious injury or even save a life.

Making a show of South Africa
They are doing it again. According to a
report in The New York Times, the House
Foreign Affairs Committeee has voted to
apply new economic sanctions against the
white minority government of South
Africa.
Why is this disturbing? Well, it seems
that the liberals in congress are always
picking out South Africa to lambaste with
sanctions and condemnations, yet they
never consider any of the other countries in
the world that have worse records of
human rights violations.
It is true that South Africa is ruled by a
white minority that controls the populace
through segregation. I do not condone this
method of government, yet I do realize that
South Africa is a special case and could not
terminate its political policies overnight as
some people would lead you to believe.
It is also never pointed out in the press
that South Africa is making headway in
desegregation. This is quite an accomp­lishment
and shows the willingness of the
people of that nation to be accepted in the
world.
Perhaps the most distressing element
against this longstanding moral question
is many of the people who oppose any
involvement with South Africa as long as
there is apartheid (a unique policy of racial
separation) yet they have no qualms with
involvement in any communist nation or
right-wing nation that is equally oppres­sive
without the racial policies.
This would seem hypocritical to someone
who realizes the lack of human rights
found in the Soviet Union.
Siberia is populated by political dissi­dents,
and many liberals who oppose South
Africa smile and agree with the complaints
of the exiled Soviet yet turn right around
and sign another trade agreement or fel­lowship
act with the U.S.S.R.
What kind of foreign policy does the
government in Pretoria see, when its
athletic teams are forbade passports to the
United States, yet we welcome with open
arms any Communist nation that happens
by?
To enforce economic sanctions aginst the
richest and most stable nation on the entire
African continent which also has the high­est
per capita income of any African nation
is ridiculous. Hundreds of Africans flee the
Communist north and try to emigrate to
South Africa where they know there is a
better lifestyle and they won't go hungry. Is
that cause to enforce economic sanctions?
Conservatives also realize that South
Africa is taking a positive step against
communism in Africa. The country
announced several weeks ago that they
would be willing to financially help free­dom
fighters seeking to overthrow the
communist regimes in the north.
Let us remember, the liberal's plan to
desegregate Rhodesia and allow autonom­ous
rule has resulted in the freely-elected
democratic government being forced out by
communists resulting in the Marxist state
of Zimbabwe. Prime Minister Mugabe was
exiled and all the streets in downtown
Harare, formerly Salisbury, were renamed
after noted Communist revolutionists like
Lenin and Stalin.
Remember also, that the United Nations
supported this action and encouraged the
Communist takeover of Rhodesia.
South Africa is in the same position Ian
Smith's Rhodesia was in just over five
years ago. The world is trying to force
South Africa in a direction she is not yet
ready to go. Even our government is trying,
to coerce South Africa through economic
sanctions that are hurting the businesses
of this country more than those of South
Africa.
South Africa, on the other hand, realizes
its policy of apartheid is wrong and,
although slowly, has taken steps to rectify
it; however, they also realize that every
nation on her border, Angola, Zimbabwe
and Mozambique, are Communist and
supported by Cuba and the Soviet Union.
The nations to the north of South Africa
have one goal: the overthrow of the cur­rent
government in power and the exploita­tion
of all of South Africa's wealth for
Communist gains.
South Africa also realizes that it is in an
extremely strategic position. Located at the
tip of the African continent, a majority of
all oil tankers passes around Cape Town.
When looking at natural resources, South
Africa is a leader in diamond and gold min­ing.
One other piece of trivia, in South West
Africa/Namibia, the only deep water port
capable of servicing nuclear submarines on
the entire west coast of Africa is located
here and is controlled by South Africa.
Now, wouldn't that make a nice little
catch for the Communists?
One should recognize that South Africa's
human rights record is no worse than the
average Communist country's, and to pro­pose
sanctions against it only hurts us and
our relationship with a potentially power­ful
ally.
South Africa recognizes the Communist
threat in Africa and is determined to fight
it. They also recognize our nation's eco­nomical
dependence on the gold and dia­monds
from their mines.
So why don't we cut the hypocrisy and
treat South America at least with the same
respect and lack of sanctions that we treat
the Soviet Union with. If not, then let us
call for sanctions against all other nations
that have similar records of human rights
violations. I am afraid we would find there
wouldn't be many countries to trade with.

I wish I could come to AU
Editor, The Plainsman,
My name is Alan Slay. I recently visited
one of my friends who plays baseball at
Auburn, Ronnie Thomas. I just wanted to
write you to tell you what a great university
you have. Unlike my visits to such colleges
as FSU, I fpund Auburn a great place to go
to school! did not see a school full of cliques
of which you had to be Mr. New Wave, Mr.
Surfer or Mr. Preppie to be accepted as a
"normal" person.
The frats and sororities would also talk to
you even if you were not a member. I espe­cially
like the KA's and their road
warrior—Unit 601. The campus is set up
very nicely and not cramped in a down­town
area like FSU. I enjoyed the Joan
Jett Concert and thank the Programs
Council for putting it on.
I will start at FSU in the fall but I wish it
could be Auburn. I can see why people are
proud to be a War Eagle! I hope you print
this to let the students know that there are a
few smart people in Florida after all. If you
hear of any scholarships for an out-of-state
young man with a two-year degree and a lot
of desire to be an Auburn student, give
them my address. See ya'll at the beach.

produced by the feeling of a wasted life. The
case will be even more frequent, as
increased cultivation creates a greater and
greater disproportion between the ideas'
and faculties of women, and the scope
which society allows to their activity."
This frequency of feeling a wasted life
must surely have reached an all time high
in the twentieth century, just as John
Stuart Mill predicted in this essay, "The
Subjection of Women," written in 1869.
Even today, it is true that women are more
often overlooked than considered for lead­ership
or influential positions. Though this
process of prejudice, the improvement of
our society is greatly hindered. We are
indeed wasting one of our most valuable
resources. There is a deep sense of personal
pride associated with reading goals in life-a
sense of pride that is good and is, in fact,
requisite for human happiness. Our society
has-throughout the ages, according to Ber-trand
Russell-made this kind of pride and
happiness possible only for the f ew.and cer­tainly
not for women. Anyone who aspires,
sets goals for life-whatever one's own per­sonal
dreams may be: from spouse, to par­ent,
to teacher, inventor or president-should
be given the chance to fulfill those
dreams without restriction.
In the words of J.S. Mill, "When we con­sider
the positive evil caused to the disqual­ified
half of the human race by their
disqualification-first in the loss of the most
inspiriting and elevating kind of personal
enjoyment, and next in the weariness, dis­appointment,
and profound dissatisfaction
with life, which are so often the substitute
for it; one feels that among all the lessons
which men require for carrying on the
struggle against the inevitable imperfec­tions
of their lot on earth, there is no lesson
which they more need, that not to add to the
evils which nature inflicts, by their jealous
and prejudiced restrictions on one another.
Their vain fears only substitute other and
worse evils for those which they are idly
apprehensive of: while every restraint on
the freedom of conduct of any of their fellow
human creatures. . .dries up pro tanto the
principal fountain of human happiness,
and leaves the species less rich, to an inap­preciable
degree, in all that makes life val­uable
to the individual human being."

Respect rights and beliefs
Editor, The Plainsman,
A sincere request-it is, simply, that we all
learn to respect the rights and beliefs of
others. This appeal is particularly directed
at those who would force their religious
beliefs on others. Each and every member
of a free society can only be free when we
respect the rights of others. Lest we should
forget, take a look at the killings and

there are still numerous examples of
oppression all across the society of man
worldwide.
No one's religious beliefs are safe if any
one group of religious followers attempts to

allowing diversity and freedom of choice do
we ensure that we ourselves will not be
denied the same freedoms.
A main motivating force for the design of
Democratic America was the desire for
religious freedom. I hope that we
acknowledge tht a person has a right to
choose not to follow an organized religion
and recognize that choice itself as a
legitimate right due any autonomous

importantly as a human being.
Please show respect and consideration in
the exercise of your religious beliefs, and
compassion when considering high

New kid on block
Materials engineering aids wide range of fields
AU News Bureau
Why iB graphite a good lubricant?
What makes a metal soft or tough?
Why is copper a good and titanium a
poor conductor of electricity? It's the
answer to these and far more com­plex
questions that occupies stu­dents
and researchers in the mate­rials
engineering program at
Auburn University.
"Materials engineering" is not yet
a household phrase, even among
engineering students at Auburn. A
good part of its "image problem"
may stem from the fact that in com­parison
with other programs in
Auburn's School of Engineering,
the materials engineering program
is very much "the new kid on the
block."
First authorized in 1964, the pro­gram
was called metallurgical
engineering for the first five years of
its existence. Then in 1969 it
assumed its present title of mate­rials
engineering. That evolution in
a way reflects the history of and
helps define what materials engi­neering
is all about.
Materials engineering might be
said to represent the current stage of
mankind's continuing search for
the material best suited for a given
task. In fact, archeologists trace
man's early history through his use
of three materials—first, the Stone
Age, then the Bronze and Iron Ages.
In recent decades this specialized
field of engineering has contributed
to countless technological advan­ces.
From electronics to environ­mental
controls, underseas explora­tion
to space travel, food processing
to artificial organs for humans, the
materials engineer has developed
materials with better heat resist­ance,
conductivity, rigidity or
flexibility—whatever special qual­ity
or characteristic was sought.
Originally study in this area was
known as metallurgical engineer­ing,
or mining and metallurgical
engineering, and covered the min­ing,
processing and uses of metals.
As the search for better materials
broadened to include alloys, plas­tics,
ceramics and semiconductors,
study of the characteristics and
development of this wider range of
materials took the title of materials
science of materials engineering.
Because it is both new and a spe­cialized
program cutting across tra­ditional
departmental boundaries,
materials engineering across the
country has smaller enrollments
than the more traditional engineer­ing
departments.
through the mechanical engineer­ing
department, is Dr. Bryan Chin,
a 1963 Auburn graduate who
returned in 1981 as Alumni Asso­ciate
Professor after work at the
Department of Energy's Hanford
Works in Washington.
Serving with him in the materials
engineering program are Dr. Paul
Budenstein of the physics depart­ment
and Drs. Bohr Jang, Wartan
Jemian and Roy Wilcox. Assisting
in research are mechanical engi­neering
faculty members John Good-ling,
in thermodynamics, and Nels
Madsen, in computer aDDlications.
With funds provided by the Engi­neering
Alumni Council and the
Some schools, like Auburn, offer
only an undergraduate degree, the
Bachelor of Materials Engineering-a
fully-accredited program. Auburn
students can also study materials
engineering at the graduate level,
although they receive their master's
or doctoral degree in mechanical
engineering.
Nationwide only about one in six
of the 286 engineering schools offer
materials engineering as a distinct
program. There are approximately
25 accredited materials programs
and about 35 in metallurgical engi­neering,
some of which include an
option in materials.
New chairman of the Auburn pro­gram,
which is administered
upswing in research contracts,
impressive new equipment has been
acquired in recent months: a high-temperature,
high-vacuum system,
a Charpy impact machine and a
materials testing system to dynam­ically
test stress, strain and fatigue.
All test equipment can be used with
a computerized data acquisition
system that can take measurements
at rates of up to 400 samples per
second.
Because enrollment is small,
Auburn materials engineering stu­dents
have unusual opportunities to
work with faculty on research. Sev­eral
of the current or recent projects
indicate the variety of research done
in Auburn's materials labs.
"In a project for the Welding
Research Council," says Chin, "we
are using infrared thermography to
monitor and control robotic welding
machines." This work is based on
the fact that all materials with a
temperature above absolute zero (-
273 degrees Celsius) give off a form
of radiation that can be detected by
a heat sensor.
"Because no radiation will be pro­duced
by the absence of material in
the seam between the two items to be
welded," Chin explains, "the sen­sors
can be used to correct the path
of the welding arc being placed by
robotic welding machine."
Jemian, one of the originators of
the Auburn program, has done
research on the properties of plastic
foam materials for the Army
Research Office at Ft. Rucker, seek­ing
improved padding for helmets
and other protective gear for pilots
and crew members.
He has simulated by computer the
material's behavior under various
conditions. Those results were com­pared
with data from high speed
filming and accelerometers. The
long-term goal is to devise a method
that will predict precisely the effec­tiveness
of new helmet designs.
In another project one phase of
the problem of storing spent nuclear
fuels is being researched—the life of
the cladding, or tubing, of fuel rods.
These tubes, about 12 feet long, are
filled with pellets of uranium oxide.
The tubes are made of a zirconium
alloy, Zircaloy, which transfers heat
well and allows most neutrons to
pass through it to sustain the con­trolled
chain reaction of fission.
When used fuel rods are removed
from a reactor, they lose their radia­tion
and heat over hundred of years.
Most used fuel rods are now being
stored in special pools. No perman­ent
storage method has yet won
approval.
One of the proposals for interme­diate
storage is to seal the used rods
in large casks and store the casks
above ground at selected sites. To
provide some of the information
needed to evaluate that proposal,
Auburn researchers are studying
the effect of various combinations of
temperature and stress on the life of
the Zircaloy cladding.
"Our graduates over the years
have been much in demand as
industry looks for materials for new
and improved products," says Wil­cox.
That demand should continue
well into the future, he says, citing
predictions that include materials^
engineering among the engineering
fields with continuing high
demands for manpower.
Wilcox also points to the place­ment
of recent Auburn graduates in
materials engineering to illustrate
the variety of opportunities in this
r e l a t i v e l y new e n g i n e e r i ng
specialty.
Clinicals offer quarterly training for nurses
By Ellen Mosley
Plainsman Staffwriter
It is 2 p.m. and the student nurse
has just arrived at her post. She
receives information about her
patient for the week, becomes famil­iar
with the doctor's orders, and
prepares to administer the pres­cribed
medicines.
Later in the evening, she will feed,
bathe, and play with her pediatric
charge. She gives shots, begins" IVs
and tests her patient for the proper
stages of development.
Although this may sound like a
plot from a hospital movie series, it
happens every quarter for students
in Auburn's school of nursing.
Students participate in this pro­gram,
called clinicals, when they
reach their junior year. Nursing
students participate in clinicals
every quarter which pertain to their
unit of study.
"The first quarter was just basic
stuff—we made beds, gave baths,
and talked to a patient for about 30
minutes," says Terri Moore, 03
NUR.
Medical/Surgical will be the next
quarterly assignment. Students
administer shots, insert catheters
and become more familiar with
nursing skills, Moore says.
"Besides all the 'nursing' things
we do, we're able to take a lot more
time with them (patients). For them,
it's like having their own private
nurse," she says.
This quarter the junior class is
working in pediatrics and obstet­rics,
with half being in one and half
in the other.
"We work a lot with the family in
pediatrics. We make sure they
understand what is the matter with
their child," Moore says. "Doctors
tend to avoid putting children in the
hospital unless it is absolutely
necessary, so when they come to us
they're really sick."
Rachel Beaty, 03 NUR, agrees
that a lot of pediatric nursing
involves talking to parents. She
says that being with a patient for
extended periods of time and know­ing
his medical history really helps
to involve a nurse in the care of the
patient.
"Clinicals help us to see different
sides of nursing—the medical side
as well as the emotional side," says
Beaty.
Students are not only exposed to
hospitals, but they also work in doc­tors
offices, the Health Department
and the Achievement Center for
handicapped children in Opelika,
says Joyce Jenkins, a member of the
nursing faculty.
"The clinicals program helps stu­dents
to take what they've learned
in the classroom, and adapt it to any
particular situation," she says.
Beginning next fall, the school of
nursing will include a preceptorship
program for its seniors. The pro­gram
will basically be an
internship.
"It will give them an opportunity
to practice their skills more
independently—like graduate
nurses," Jenkins says.
The senior year of nursing also
involves more medical/surgical,
and a unit on community health and
psychology.
Participating hospitals include
East Alabama Medical Center,
Opelika; Medical Center of Colum­bus,
Ga.; Baptist Medical Center,
Montgomery; and Doctors Hospital,
Columbus, Ga.
"We've really been exposed to a lot
of different situations through the
clinicals program," says Moore,
"and we've been able to see the dif­ferent
roles a nurse plays.
"Clinicals help us to learn to treat
the whole patient—that's what
nursing is all about."

Former Auburn treasurer dies
Graveside services were held for
"W. Travis Ingram, retired business
manager and treasurer for Auburn
University, Sunday, May 8, in
Auburn. Ingram, 80, died Friday at
the East Alabama Medical Center.
Ingram retired from Auburn Uni­versity
in 1973 after nearly 48 years
in the business office. He was also a
former city council president and
recently retired from the board of
Central Bank of Auburn.
Born in Marvyon on Nov. 26,
1902, he attended the University of
Alabama from 1921-22 and worked
as a salesman for a men's clothing
store in Opelika three years before
joining the University as an auditor
in 1926. In 1928, he was appointed
accountant and purchasing agent,
and he was named business man­ager
in 1939.
The duties of treasurer were added
to his office in 1953, and he held the
title business manager and treas­urer
until his retirement in 1973.
Ingram was a former president
and treasurer of the Southern Asso­ciation
of College and University
Business Officers.
He served on the board of ste­wards
of the Methodist church, was
a charter member of the Lions Club
and a charter member of the First
Federal Savings and Loan Associa­tion
of Lee County. He was also a
member of the Masonic Lodge.
Ingram is survived by his wife,
Loraine M. Ingram; one daughter,
Mrs. John Lambert of Nashville;
one son, Charles Ingram of Aiken,
S.C.; one brother, Robert H. Ingram
of Auburn; three sisters, Mrs. Cha­rles
Shaneyfelt of Nashville, and
Miss Lucile Ingram and Mrs. Frank
Sparks, both of Auburn; and six
grandchildren.
Burial was in Memorial Park
Cemetery, with services conducted
by the Rev. Raymond Weaver. Fun­eral
arrangements were handled by
Frederick's Funeral Home.

date.
On Wednesday, May 11, Dr. Davis

Davis received his Doctor of Vete­rinary
Medicine degree from the
•Ohio State University in 1959 and
the Doctor of Philosophy degree in
pharmacology from the University of
Missouri in 1963. He was a member
of the faculties of veterinary medi­cine
at the University of Missouri
from 1959-69 and of the College of
Veterinary Medicine of the Ohio
State University from 1969-72. He
was visiting professor of veterinary
pharmacology at the University of
Nairobi, Kenya, from 1972-74. He
returned to the United States as pro­fessor
of clinical pharmacology at
the College of Veterinary Medicine
and Biomedical Sciences of Colo­rado
State University from 1974-78. ,
The lectures are for students,
graduate students, faculty and
other interested persons.
work is a fallacy, she says.
"From an economic standpoint, in
nearly every case I'd advise the wife
to go to work."
Foster bases her point of view on a
government study of more than
3,700 households and their day-to­day
expenses.
She says in the future more wives
will probably go to work because
families are becoming smaller and
thus require less housework. The
increased cost of buying a home will
also encourage more wives to work,
she says.
Her research shows that expendi­tures
for house-hold related services
hinge more on total family income
than on whether the wife works. In
most cases, families with higher
total incomes spend more on house­hold
services, even in cases where
only the husband works.
While Foster says it is financially
smart to work outside the home, the
woman herself must decide if it is
the best thing for her family or her
marriage.

'Perfectparty 'encourages responsible drinking habits
By Terri Knott
Assistant Features Editor
How much is enough? How much
is too much?
These are important questions
that need to be answered in order to
Broun Hall
of combustible materials and is
classified as an educational build­ing.
According to the Alabama
building codes, an educational
building cannot be built of combust­ible
materials.
In order to rectify this situation, a
steel frame would have to be built
around the outside to keep the shell
from falling in. The inside would
then have to be gutted and rebuilt
according to state codes, including
accomodations for the handicap­ped.
But Tillman said, "That's not
an insurmountable thought. We
could make the building fit the
codes, but it would take a lot of
money to do that."
Auburn University definitely is
not against restoration, he said.
Tillman pointed out several cases in
which the University restored
buildings that possibly would have
been economically more feasible to
learn responsible drinking, accord­ing
to students at last week's "per­fect
party."
The Student Alcohol Information
Center (SAIC) sponsored the party,
held at Waldo Pepper's last week,
to demonstrate responsible ways to
use alcohol. "Our goal is to promote
responsible drinking and to dis-.
courage drinking and driving," says
Robin West, student director of
SAIC.
Last Tuesday from 5-7 p.m., beers
at Waldo's were two for a dollar,
including a plate of food from a
buffet, all of which was cooked with
beer. A magician entertained the
crowd, moving from table to table in
the almost-full room.
"Students often hear our name
and think that we're against drink-tear
down including Samford Hall,
Langdon Hall, the University
Chapel and Hargis Hall (which
underwent a second renovation
after a fire).
Architects not connected with the
University who have seen the inside
of Broun hall have said that it
probably would be better to remove
the building because "it is so out of
compliance with the standards and
in such a state of deterioration that
the problems far outweigh the
practical benefits."
When Broun Hall is destroyed,
Tillman said every attempt will be
made to salvage what can be used.
He cited the possibility of erecting a
monument using the columns on the
front of the building and using the
brick for other buildings on campus.
This is a two-sided question
Tillman said: should we preserve
the past or make way for the future?
"When you make a decision to

Dr. Sara Crews Finley of the Ala­bama
Medical School faculty will
speak at Auburn University Friday,
May 13, at 10:30 a.m. in Room 144,
Spidle Hall.
Dr. Finley, who is on the staff at
the Laboratory of Medical Genetics,

Learning Disorders, will speak on
"Medical Genetics Today."
The public is invited to the presen­tation
which is sponsored by the
Faculty Development Committee of
the School of Home Economics,
Dean Ruth Galbraith and Mary Lou
Purcell, head of the department of
family and child development.
Dr. Finley's research interests

human congenital malformations,
cell culture, human growth and
development and genetic counsel­ing.
Among the many organizations
with which Dr. Finley is associated
are the American Society of Human
Genetics, the American Federation
of Clinical Research, the New York
Academy of Sciences and the
Southern Society for Pediatric
Research.
She serves on numerous commit­tees,
including a genetics review

Business major growing
with international trade
By Brenda B(IcWhorter
AU News Bureau
i
Speaking a foreign language is
not uncommon for American busi­ness
people today, and in response
to this trend the Auburn University
School of Business is growing to
provide students training in inter­national
trade.
An international business cur­riculum
was started at AU in the
summer of 1982, and today the
school boasts 49 students who have
declared majors in the field.
Development of the option came
out of a growing need for business
majors with a foreign-language
background, said Sam McCord,
chairman of a committee to research
the curriculum.
Many businesses in Alabama and
around the nation have established
subsidies overseas and deal in
imports and exports, and a big
avenue is in international branches
of banks, McCord said. He listed
Diversified Products and DeepRock
Manufacturing in Opelika as local
businesses with international ties.
Housed in the department of
accounting ad finance, the interna­tional
business option differs
slightly from its foreign-language
department counterpart, foreign
language trade (FLT).
"We emphasize business more
than FLT does, but we do require at
least two years of foreign lan­guage,"
McCord explained. Ad­vanced
courses in conversation and
business report composition, man­agement
and multinational busi­ness
and multinational finance are
also required.
McCord said the option is com­parable
to that of other large
schools, but he feels Auburn's pro­gram
has more to offer.
AU's curriculum calls for inter­disciplinary
cooperation because it
works closely with the foreign lan­guage
department. "I've seen other
places where there wasn't coopera­tion,
and it was to the student's dis­advantage,"
he said.
Between the two departments,
faculty members try to provide a
well-rounded preparation for a
career in international trade.
"We concentrate more on the busi­ness
aspect," McCord said. "It's up
to the student to decide where he
wants his emphasis.

Pharmacy school offering
continuing ed programs
Auburn University's School of
Pharmacy will present continuing
education programs for pharma­cists
and other health professionals
on arthritis, cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR), new drugs and
practice management at two loca­tions
in the state this summer,
according to Dean Ben F. Cooper.
The Programs will be presented at
Lake Guntersville State Park June
9-12 and at Gulf State Park July
9-12.
Dr. David S. Newton, director of
continuing education for the school,
states that these topics were chosen
since pharmacists and others indi­cated
a particular interest in them.
"This interest is always present
among health professionals, since
most of these topics have important
public health implications," New­ton
said.
He cited recent U.S. government
figures which indicate that one in
seven people in this country suffers
from some form of arthritis, and
there are a million new victims each
year.
"Also, CPR training is of concern
since time and skill are very impor­tant
in the sucessful administration
of aid to a heart attack victim,"
Newton added.
Interested persons may obtain
additional information on these and
other programs by writing the AU

Continuing Education, Auburn

ing," says West. "We are not against
drinking—we are showing respon­sible
ways to use alcohol. We've
given a limit on beer and offer food
because you're not supposed to
drink on an empty stomach.
"You don't have to get a six-pack
and drink it in five minutes," she
emphasizes.
"Responsible drinking is knowing
when you've had enough," says
David Pollard, 03 PB. He adds that
the problem is "once you get a few
beers you lose track." Another way
of being a responsible drinker is to
not drink and drive, says Pollard.
"You can't just shirk off your
responsibilities" when other peo­ple's
lives may be in jeopardy, he
says.
"I think I'm a responsible
drinker," says Lori Adams, 02 FM.
She explains that she has always
considered herself a responsible
drinker. For heavy drinkers it may
take as much as a tragedy to con­vince
them to be responsible
drinkers—to not drink and drive,
she says.
The $1 deal is what attracted Lisa
Dayton, 02 AC, to the "perfect
party," as was the case of most peo­ple
there. However, she echoed the
opinion of other students in saying
that "responsible drinking is to
know your limits. A lot of people
overdo i t " with alcohol, she says.
"Mothers Against Drunk Drivers
and deaths that have lately
occurred because of drinking and
driving have really opened stu­dents'
eyes," West says.
The SAIC, located in Foy Union,
is open four days a week and offers
information on "just about every­thing
you can think of related to
alcohol," says volunteer worker
Edie Busch, 04INM.

Amish
holmes County, Ohio,
the largest Amish community in the
United States. The Amish stem
frorn the Mennoriites, with the
Amish wanting to live a strict, basic
life with no electricity or modern
conveniences. Everything is done
by hand or horse power. The Men-nonites
are more liberal in their liv­ing
arrangements, residing in mod­ern
houses. Rosetta's parents were
Amish before she was born, and
then converted to Mennonite.
Peterson
Scott described himself as once
being a "lukewarm Catholic,"
attending church only when neces­sary.
He explains that he was very
impressed with the difference
between the Amish-Mennonites'
way of life and his own. At first, he
says, they were reluctant to accept
him. The Amish shun outsiders,
whom they call the "English " and
are hesitant to expose their children
to the outside world. When one of the
families invited him to dinner, he
says he considered it a "real honor."
They are also reluctant to be pho­tographed,
he says. Their religion is
not to be publicized, it is genuine, he
says. They are friendly, but do not
want to commercialize their way of
life.
"I was so impressed with their
family life," he says. "The father (of
one Amish-Mennonite family) told
me that he felt successful every
night just to see his kids fed."
Several of Rosetta's relatives are
Amish, and she attributes the low
rate of broken homes among the
Amish and Mennonites to the self-sufficient
lifestyle.
Many of them farm their own
land, growing all the food they need,
other than staple foods such as salt
and sugar. The children are up at
dawn, working before school. The
women make their clothes, and all
food is home-made, she says.
"They are so family oriented,"
ity to become acquainted with how
committees and the chairman
should function.
"This last year, the chairman-elect
had a much greater responsi­bility,
and the duties were more
exhaustive than they had been in
the past," said Peterson. He added
that because of the presidential con-
;roversy, he learned more than most
chairman-elects have ever had the
Dppprtunity to learn.
• Seine of his learning experience
ciajEne from serving as chairman of
tfie^Committee of the Whole, which
wets set up last June to investigate
the resignations of two University
vice presidents and later issues deal­ing
with the presidential cotroversy.
Peterson said he regards the pre­sidential
search as the most impor­tant
and timely responsibility of his
liew position. He served as one of the
three faculty advisers from Auburn
on the P r e s i d e n t i a l Search
Committee.
•"It behooves us to conduct an
adequate search and to expend the
energy necessary to make sure that
we do conduct a thorough search for
a good president," Peterson said.
As for his goals, Peterson said
that he would like to see the Univer­sity
Senate maintain the high
esteem that it earned as a conse­quence
of actions over the past year.
Furthermore, he would like to
"bridge the gap" between the
faculty and the Board of Trustees,
and continue to bring together and
alumni, faculty, staff and students.
"I would like to work in the best
way I can as a leader and member of
the University Senate to get all the
components of the University work­ing
together."
Peterson said that one wa.y to
develop these close ties is for the dif­ferent
components of the University
to interact. He added that the Presi­dential
Search Committee is mak­ing
this interaction possible because
it consists of representatives from
the alumni, faculty and student
body.
"This is an excellent opportunity
for a select number of individuals
from each of the components to
work together so that the rest of the
University can see them as an effec­tive
organization that is getting
something done."
Although he feels that the faculty
and students should work together
for the best interest of the Univer­sity,
Peterson said that he doesn't
have any magic formula that will
develop better relations between the
two. He said there are areas of aca­demic
concern that the faculty and
the students could work on together,
but that depends on the direction
that each takes in the coming year.
"When anyone takes an office,
they always have great aspirations
and tremendous visions, but often
times, their resources become
defused." Peterson said.

He added that he hopes to avoid
that dilemma and concentrate on
only a few important matters.
When asked about what problems
he foresees, Peterson said. "It is very
unusual to not have controversy in a
university setting." However, he
said that he feels the University has
experienced a rapid healing process
and developed an excellent posture.
"I think Dr. Bailey is providing
excellent leadership and is articu­lating
visions of the University and
his visions for the University to
people out in the state and to the
Legislature."
Peterson said that he sees a tre-
Continued from A-l
mendous interest in state govern­ment
looking at higher education to
provide the economy with research
innovations and breakthroughs in
technology, especially in agricul­ture
and engineering.
Also, after reading a national
report, Peterson said he found edu­cation
has been on a downcycle over
the past 25 years. By government
being made aware of this down-cycle,
Peterson said he feels that
government will begin to focus more
on education.
As higher education assumes a
more prestigious role, Peterson said
he believes that Auburn will play an
active part in the upswing.

says Rosetta. "There is no rat race to
deal with."
Indeed, the Amish are very self-sufficient.
They have their own
buggy factory, producing about two
handmade buggies a month.
Rosetta's family was hestitant to
accept Scott. He had moved back to
Kentucky, his home state, and
thought he would never see
Rosetta again. He found out that a
Mennonite church was in his home­town,
and he attended it. He was
again impressed with their religion
and way of life.
"I discovered that it wasn't a plas­tic
religion, it was real sincere," he
says. "The community banded
together to help one another." They
would have house raisings where
the whole community would help, he
says. The men would build while the
women would cook dinner.
In the meantime, Rosetta was
Continued from A-l
assigned to do voluntary work else­where,
a tradition Mennonite
women are urged to do, she says.
This involves a year's time of com­munity
work in another city.
Rosetta was assigned to Louisville,
Ky., just outside Scott's hometown.
The two began dating again, and
Scott joined the Mennonite church.
"I didn't want her to think I was
trying to win her over," he says, "I
was doing it for myself." Rosetta's
family finally accepted Scott, and
th"ey were married.
"I was glad I was raised the way I
was," says Rosetta, "I would like my
children to be exposed to that. We
were sheltered, but I don't think we
missed anything."
"But," Scott says,"I hope people
don't think we have a utopia. We
have problems just like anyone else.
We just appreciate them more."

'Rat'enjoys sharing gospel with Auburn students
By Terri Knott
Assistant Features Editor
Humility. That is the characteris­tic
commonly attibuted to John
Riley by his friends and colleagues.
Every Thursday at 8 p.m.
hundreds of students gather in room
2370 of Haley Center to hear what
John "Rat" Riley has to say. And
he's been saying it to Auburn stu­dents
for 10 years now — what he
calls "the plain simple truth."
In his traditional light blue
button-down and khaki slacks,
grinning from ear to ear, Riley
greets the crowd at "Rats" with,
"Hey, ya'll. How ya'll doin'." The
warmth of his wide smile and south-

...Riley gives students unique style to teaching Bible
era drawl immediately puts his
audience at ease.
The attentiveness of the students
never falters. They either quietly
listen or roar back in laughter
throughout the message, as John
shares what he has learned from the
Bible, sometimes adding a comical
analogy of his personal experiences.
Riley, a 1970 Auburn graduate
and former placekicker for the foot­ball
team, expresses undying love
and concern for Auburn students.
The Thursday night study, which
began 10 years ago with about 30
people, has steadily grown.
"I think it (the Bible study) was
neutral territory because there is no
affiliation. People could come to an
informal study," explains Riley.
Sitting in an empty classroom just
down the hall from where the study
is about to begin, Riley continues.
"In the first study we started with
Galations. We've never changed the
format since then." The format, he
explains, is exposing Biblical truths
and learning how to apply them
practically and simply.
"I want to see as many people as
possible come to Christ in the time
we have left," Riley says with a tone
of excitement in his voice and a
smile on his face.
Coming to Auburn for the past 10
years has been encouraging,
"because the number of people who
have come to Christ," says Riley. It
is encouraging "to see the number of
people who have grown in Christ,
gone into the business world, mar­riage,
or full time Christian work to
apply these principles. That's been a

real blessing," he says.
He says the most encouraging
attitude he has seen in students over
the years is a hunger for the "plain
and simple" truth of the gospel of
Jesus Christ and the most discou­raging
has been the attitude of "I'm
just not interested right now."
A glow comes over his face when
he speaks of his wife, Jeannie. The
most influential person in his life, he
says. Jeannie supports him in his
ministry and is very wise "in help­ing
me to be sensitive to other people
about the way I talk."
"She takes care of the home and
me; she teaches the girls about what
we're doing. They pray for me. She
explains it's a ministry for the whole
family."
Riley speaks of his daughters,
Jennifer, Julie and Joy (ages 11, 9
and 6) with affection and fatherly
pride. They are open, uninhibited
and very honest, he says. "If I'm not
listening to what they are saying
they will say, 'Daddy, you're not lis­tening
to me.' " says Riley. Both
Jennifer and Julie have led some of
their friends to Christ, he adds. He
says the time he spends with his
daughters is special,and he appre­ciates
the love they express for him.
Another influential person in
Riley's life is Mike Kolen, the one
who sent a staff person of Campus
Crusade for Christ to talk with Riley
about the gospel. Riley was a
sophomore at the time. "I had a rev­erence
for God and Jesus," he
explains, "and I believed in heaven
and hell and that the Bible was true.
I just didn't know what was in the
Bible and I'd never heard how to
know Christ—by grace, not good­ness
or works." That is where
Riley's commitment to knowing
God and what the Bible says began.
That same commitment takes him
across the nation and to other coun­tries
to tell of what he has learned
and to spread the gospel of Christ.
"It's amazing to see how different
people of different cultures and ages
respond to the same Christ. The
only way to unity is in Christ," he
says.
He tells of an incident when a
Korean woman received Christ in a
clock shop in Switzerland, failing to
mention his part in making the gos­pel
known to her.
Riley also teaches the Metro Bible
Study in Atlanta every Tuesday
night. Metro, which was started 14
years ago by Charles Ellis, was for
the past six or eight years taught by
Dan DeHan, who was killed in a
plane crash last year.
Riley was asked to continue the
study and has been teaching full
time in Atlanta on Tuesday nights
since May 1982.
Riley says his teaching at Auburn
began when a couple who wanted to
see a c a m p u s Bible study
approached him about teaching the
study. He responded with there's
"no way I could get down there in
those college students."
However, a couple of football
players expressed an interest and
need for such a study so he "decided
to try." He first met with about 20
people to discuss getting started. "I
said, 'Well, I don't know anything,
but.
The singing from down the hall
winds down and a student enters the
room to remind Riley it is almost
time for "Rat's" to begin. He has
something to say. . .and they are
waiting to hear.

Auburn organization active in attaining nuclear freeze
y Melissa Shubert
eatures Editor
Auburn's chapter of United Cam-uses
to Prevent Nuclear War
JCAN) has been working toward a
uclear freeze since 1981. Now, with
st week's passage of the nuclear
eapons freeze resolution in the
ouse of Representatives, group
esident Scott Buxton has a hap-er
outlook on the future.
"Our major goal is to get the freeze
assed," says Buxton, 04 GEC.
ince the success in the House last
eek, it has made me proud to be an
merican.
"I was kind of wondering if we
had a democracy when 60 percent of
Americans wanted it (the freeze).
My faith in democracy has been
strengthened."
The resolution which passed the
House included a concession stating
that from the freeze, arms reduc­tions
will be made within a nego­tiated,
reasonable amount of time.
Although his organization does
not have as one of its convictions the
reductions of arms, he says it is
pleased with the passage of the long-debated
resolution.
UCAN received an organiza­tional
charter last spring and since
that time has offered students and
faculty a variety of briefings and
programs related to both sides of the
freeze proposition.
"We try to be as pluralistic about it
as we can," Buxton says, explaining
the group invites opposing views.
"I'm definitely set i
