AU student dies as car overturns
All legal aspects of the case are
being turned over to Lee County
District Attorney Ron Myers. He
will hand it over to the Lee County
Grand Jury which will convene
April 4, according to Walton.
The DUI charge which has been
lodged against Schoenrock will be
suspended until the grand jury acts,
so that in the event of further
charges against her, the cases
would be tried together, he added.
Cobb was a member of Sigma Nu
Fraternity arid served as Rush
Chairman. He was a fine golfer and
won several country club and invi­tational
golf tournaments.
Cobb was described as a real out-doorsman
and enjoyed hunting,
fishing and duck hunting.
"Ray was a real fine guy and easy
to talk to. He's the type of guy that
was really fun to be around," said
fraternity brother David Abel.
Cobb's girlfriend, Jeri Pipes
04MK said, "We miss him because
he was Ray and if you didn't know
hfm there's no way to describe him.
At least we'll always have the spe­cial
memories of him."

An Auburn University student
died Friday afternoon in a one-car
accident on Dairy Road, an unpaved
road located on University experi­mental
property off Wire Road, said
University Police Chief Jack
Walton.
According to police, the victim
was identified as Ray Spearman
Cobb, 22, a senior in industrial
management from Gadsden. Cobb
was killed Friday at about 5:30 p.m.
when the car in which he was travel­ling
overturned, trapping him
underneath.
Cobb was one of three passengers
in a 1972 convertible Volkswagen
Thing driven by Shonna Y. Schoen­rock,
20,of York, Ala., who has been
charged with driving under the
influence. Other passengers were
identified as Linda L. Nixon of Liv­ingston
and David D. Turner of
Birmingham.
Investigating officer Lt. Charles
Nevin said Schoenrock was travel­ing
south on the road when she
apparently hit a rough place and
Stepping in
lost control of the car, because she
was driving at a high rate of speed
and was under the influence of
alcohol.
"She ran the car partially off the
road and while trying to jerk it back
she overcorrected the skid," Nevin
said. "The convertible zig-zagged
approximately 200 feet before flip­ping
over."
Cobb and Nixon were pinned
underneath the car. Cobb died at the
scene from massive internal injur­ies.
Nixon and Schoenrock were
admitted to East Alabama Medical
Center overnight for observation.
Turner was not hospitalized.
Police were notified of the acci­dent
at 5:57 p.m. when Schoenrock
ran for help and called the Auburn
Police from the Ham Wilson Live­stock
Arena. University Police were
contacted and Nevin responded
immediately to the call.
Two men from the livestock arena
returned with Schoenrock to the
scene and assisted Nevin, Turner
and Schoenrock in righting the
overturned vehicle.
Schoenrock has been charged
with DUI and signed her own $300
bond.
Proposal on spring ballot
seeks fall quarter change
By Lynne Hopkins
Assistant News Editor
In its weekly meeting Monday
night the SGA Senate passed a reso­lution
placing a referendum on the
spring election ballot asking stu­dents
how they would feel about
starting fall quarter 10 days to two
weeks earlier.
The student Welfare Committee
introduced the resolution.The pro­posed
referendum reads: "As a stu­dent
of Auburn University I would
like to begin Fall Quarter 10 days to
two weeks earlier in September
which would end the quarter before
Thanksgiving Holidays." The stu­dent
will respond to the proposal by
marking yes, no or undecided.
In November 1980.students voted
to approve a similar resolution to
begin falls quarter on Sept. 10 and
end with final exams on Nov. 24.
Making the schedule change
would move finals to before
Thanksgiving, allowing students
who live farther away to spend the
entire holiday season at home and
have a better chance for getting
Christmas jobs, said Ken Guin, off-campus
senator.
When the 1980 resolution passed
it was not instituted because the
Calendar Committee did not have
enough time to look into the matter.
Guin, who chairs the committee,
said, "The resolution is needed to
reaffirm student cooperation, and
now we'll have six months to a year
to confer with the Calendar Com­mittee
so that something can be
done."
By making the .schedule adjust­ment
students will also be able to
attend football games that are
played before classes start.
The senate also passes a bill from
the Code of Laws Committee esta­blishing
a Housing Complaint
Board to hear individual or group
complaints concerning the condi­t
i o n s ^ on-campus housing.
The new board will focus on stu­dent
complaints concerning living
conditions and refund or deposit
disputes, said Amy Gaddis, hill
senator.
Gaddis said that the board will
handle various disciplinary deci­sions
that cannot be handled by the
resident dorm advisors and that are
not under the authority of the Dis­ciplinary
Board.
Resident advisors representing
on-campus complexes met with
members of the Code of Laws Com­mittee
to plan the operating proce­dures
of the Complaint Board. *
"Since Housing has been working
with a deficit and doesn't have
enough money to make necessary
repairs there is a definite peed for
people to voice their opinions to
allow housing personnel to see that
things are done in order," Gaddis
said.
The board will be composed of five
student members, four student
alternates and four staff members.
Student members will be represen­tatives
from the Quad, Hill, Caro-

Vet School rebuilds,
upgrades standards
By Jeffrey Mason
Plainsman Staffwriter
Auburn University's School of
Veterinary Medicine will be up for
review in April for the first time
since being placed on partial accred­itation
by the American Veterinary
Medical Association last year.
"We submitted our first yearly
progress report to the AVMA on
Feb. 15, 1983," says Dr. John T.
Vaughan, dean of Veterinary
Medicine.
The report was distributed to the
members of the AMVA Council on
Education which will meet in regu­lar
session on April 13-15 to review
Auburn's progress.
"At this time, it (the council) will
determine whether we are entitled to
be considered for return to full
accreditation or whether there
should be evidence for further pro­gress
reports," says Vaughan.
When the school was placed on
partial accreditation last year, the
AVMA cited a number of deficien­cies
in Auburn's program.
Vaughan noted that one of the
major problems was the faculty-student
ratio. While the AVMA sug­gests
a ratio of one faculty member
per four students, the ratio at
Auburn's vet school is about one to
six.
The high ratio of students to
instructors forces faculty members
to spend too much of their time
teaching in proportion to time doing
research.
"There was an over-subscription
of faculty time for obligatory
responsibilities such as teaching,
diagnostic services etc., without suf­ficient
time to devote to self-involvement
or research." says
Vaughan. "Ip other words, too few

Bailey seeks to heal University wounds quickly
By Monique VanLandingham
Managing Editor
On Feb. 26, after months of turmoil and two votes of no confi­dence
by the Auburn University faculty, the Board of Trustees
asked President Hanly Funderburk to resign.
A former vice president of Academic/Administrative Affairs, Dr.
Wilford S. Bailey, accepted, hesitantly, the position of interim pres­ident.
In t h e following excerpts from an interview Thursday with
Plainsman managing editor Monique Vanlandingham, Bailey des­cribes
t h e challenges he faces in bringing unity to Auburn and how
he intends to meet them.
Q:Dr. Bailey, how long have you worked for the University?
A: I began work with the University as a graduate assistant the summer of
1942. I was promoted to instructor that fall so I was a very young, inexpe­rienced
instructor in October 1942 and have been a member of the faculty
since then. That's continuous faculty membership for 41 years.
• Q:In what other capacities have you served?
A: I've held every position in the University from graduate assistant to
president. Not many people have the opportunity to do that. This institution
has been very good to me.
Q: How do you t h i nk your experience will help you in t h i s position?
A: I know many things that need to be done and how it needs to be done. I
know an awful lot shouldn't be done in the way it's been done. That doesn't
mean I'll always get things done the way I want them because any bureau­cracy
is clumsy, and the University is a bureaucracy. I think I have quite
good insights. Some people think I'm a little too impatient in getting things
done based on that.
Q: Do you t h i nk it was best for Dr. Funderburk to resign?
A: I have to answer that in the context of a principle and not of him as an
individual. He's a very dear friend of mine. We had a close personal relati-

UNREHEARSED
.Bailey reveals his strategy to unite Auburn
onship, and I helped him to the best of my ability for the past six years. It
grieves me very much that he's been hurt. I have to say, that as a matter of
principle, the situation had gotten to the point that the institution could not
likely function effectively without a change of this type. I don't want to hurt
anyone, but it's very sad.
Q:What were your feelings when you were selected interim
president?
ArMixed, and I couldn't put one above several. One, deep satisfaction that I
was perceived by the Board (of Trustees) as acceptable. That I was accepta­ble
to all sides here in such a complex situation has to be a tribute. I
appreciate it. I would be disappointed if I hadn't been acceptable to every­body.
I've worked here forty years and I've done my best to maintain my
integrity, to always be honest and fair albeit very demanding. I don't
believe that there are individuals within the University who know my past
who can challenge the fact that I'm fair and I'm compassionate, but I'm
impatient and demanding. I really can't make apologies for that. It is part of
my personality and I'm no more demanding of anyone else that I am of
myself.
Secondly, I felt deep concern over whether I had the capability. I don't
lack confidence but this is an awesome responsibility. I, frankly, -doubt
there's been anyone that has come into presidency of a major university in
this country in the last fifty years who's been faced with the complex
problems that exist in this institution. So I have an element of fear. Not in a
negative sense. I hope it will stimulate me to get the help of everyone
concerned to accomplish our objectives.
Q:What is t h e biggest problem you've inherited?
A: The divisiveness in the constituencies of this University. That could
make it difficult to achieve our primary objectives of quality educa-t

INTERNATIONAL
GERMANS ELECT KOHL
BONN, WEST GERMANY-Sunday's
parliamentary elec­tions
gave West German chancel­lor
Helmut Kohl and his conser­vative
coalition a landslide
victory, apparently endorsing
Kohl's "policy of the middle."
The Social Democrats, West
Germany's leftist party, received
its worst defeat in more than two
decades. The party's candidate,
Hans-Jochen Vogel, said he per­sonally
took responsibility for
the loss and that he had no other
immediate political plans.
Kohl, a staunch suppporter of
NATO and its missile deployment
plan, was congratulated by Pres­ident
Reagan Sunday afternoon
with a telephone call. Meanwhile,
Soviet officials, who favored
Vogel in the election, issued no
official statement.-
WORLD PRICES DOWN
WASHINGTON-The Interna­tional
Monetary Fund reported
earlier this week that inflation in
industrial countries is going
down. World commerical prices
fell from 10 percent in 1980 to 7.4
percent in 1982.
NATIONAL
EPA OFFICIAL ACCUSED
WASHINGTON-Rep. Mike
Synar, a sub-committee chair­man
investigating possible con­flicts
of interest within the
Environmental Protection
Agency said Tuesday that an
EPA official may have "altered"
documents during the probe.
John Todhunter, assistant
administrator for pesticides and
toxic substances, has been inves­tigated
for possible improper con­tacts
with industry officials and
is accused by Synar of possible
document alteration, a criminal
offense.
HOUSE CALLS FOR FREEZE
WASHINGTON-*he House
Foreign Affairs Committee
called for a freeze of U.S. and
Soviet nuclear arsenals by a 27-9
vote, Tuesday.
Supporters of the resolution
predict it will pass the House
vote, but possibly face trouble in
the Senate.
President Reagan said a
nuclear freeze now would be an
"illusion of peace" and "a dan­gerous
fraud."
STATE
NO WATERWAY
WASHINGTON-The building
of a waterway designed to carry
barge traffic from Gadsden to
Montgomery has been halted
because of expense. Rep. *Tom
Bevill of Jasper, chairman of the
House subcommittee that funds
water projects, said that accord
ing to the Army Corps of Engi­neers,
the cost of the project will
outweigh its benefits. Almost $17
million of the $1.3 billion project
has already been spent in preli­minary
engineering.
U.S. POOREST CITIES
WASHINGTON-Three Ala­bama
cities are no longer listed as
ten of the poorest in the nation as
of 1980, according to recently
released Census Bureau figures.
In 1970, Montgomery, Mobile
and Birmingham made the
government's top ten list of
impoverished cities. They were
three of nine southern cities on
the 1970 list. In 1980, five nor­theastern
cities made the list
with Newark, N.J. ranking first.
Finals require food for thought
By Selina Wills
Plainsman Staffwriter
It is late, the hours are ticking by
and there are still hours of studying
ahead. Words begin to swim
together. Your head pounds in uni­son
with the hindering growl of your
stomach. Now is the time to take
that long awaited break.
It is finals week at Auburn
University.
Although overall sales decrease
during final exams week in Auburn,
local businesses report there are
some items that increase in popular­ity
during this time.
During those late hours of contin­uous
studying students are bom-many,
this includes local grocery
stores, doughnut shops and eating
establishments.
Brian Bourne, cashier at Segrest
Gentilly Quick, says, "We sell a lot
of junk food, such as potato chips
and candy bars during final exam
week. We also sell a lot of cigarettes
as well."
Kroger Co., Winn Dixie, Super-foods
and A and P supermarkets
agree that students buy more pro­ducts
that do not spoil, such as
potato chips, cookies, candy bars
and Cokes.
Farrel Tisdale, assistant manager
of Auburn's Super Foods, says stu­dents
buy mostly sandwich meats
and bread from his store, instead of
products that have to be cooked.

Governor won't interfere, Bailey says
By Keith Ayers
News Editor
Dr. Wilford Bailey, interim presi­dent
of Auburn University, told the
Faculty Senate Tuesday he has been
assured the governor's office will
not try to influence the search pro­cess
for AU's next president.
"I'm fully confident that Gov.
Wallace is committed to no invol­vement
to interfere," Bailey said.
Wallace, by virture of his office, is
chairman of the AU Board of
Trustees.
The Faculty Senate is the. group
largely responsible for the removal
of Dr. Hanly Funderburk, who
resigned as president of theUniver-sity
Feb. 26 under pressure from the
1,400-member general faculty and
the students.
Bailey said he believes the trus­tees
will profit from past mistakes
and keep the search as representa­tive
as possible. He said the actual
search process should begin within
six or eight weeks.
Bailey met Tuesday morning with
Robert Lowder of Montgomery,
chairman of the six-member trus­tees'
search committee.
The trustees comprising the
search committee will work closely
with an advisory committee consist­ing
of three students, three alumni
and three faculty members from the
main campus.
Bailey and Dr. Curt Peterson,
chairman-elect of the Faculty
Senate, are expected to be among
the three faculty representatives.
Wallace's office announced Tues­day
that one faculty member, one
student and one alumnus from
Auburn's Montgomery campus
also will serve on the advisory
committee.
Meanwhile, the second of three
professors who resigned depart­ment
chairmanships in mid-Feb­ruary
protesting Furiderburk's
leadership has said he will accept
the chairmanship again.
Dr. Gerald Johnson said he will
return as chairman of the political
science department.
Dr. Wayne Flynt last week
returned as chairman of the history
department, but Dr. Ben Fitzpatrick
has said he will not return as head of
the math department because of
"personal reasons."
Bailey asked the three men to
return to their chairmanships in one
of his first acts as interim president.
Bailey was greeted by the 90-
member Faculty Senate with a reso­lution
expressing full confidence in
him. The measure passed by a
unanimous voice vote.
"I will defend your rights," he
said.
Students are looking for fast food
during these late night escapades,
he says.
Most grocery stores report an
increase in the sale of beer during
finals. When asked what items are
most popular during finals, Eagle
'J' Nest Grocery and Piggly Wiggly
said "definitely beer!" Ricky Porter,
Piggly Wiggly assistant manager,
agrees. "We do not have many stu­dents
that shop here, but we do have
students that buy a lot of beer dur­ing
finals," he says.
Coffee sales also increase during
finals, according to Segrest Gentilly

White confident in Bailey's abilities
By I r i s Dabrowski
Plainsman Staffwriter
Auburn has what it needs for good leader­ship
and can now head back in the right
direction, according to the newly appointed
director of University Relations.
Herb White, who was appointed to the post
last week, has worked for Auburn since 1960,
and was a member of the Auburn Alumni
Association for five years. In 1966 he joined
President Philpott's administration as
Director of University Relations and worked
in that position until Philpott's retirement in
1980. He has worked in various capacities
since then, one of them being Coordinator of
Printing and Publications during President
Funderburk's administration.
Recently asked by President Bailey to
return to his post, White expressed confi­dence
in Bailey's leadership because of his
widespread acceptance.
As Director of University Relations, White
says his job is to answer questions presented
to him to the best of his ability and to serve
as the Legislative liaison.
White represents Auburn University to the
Alabama Legislature and seeks from them
additional help and funds for Auburn. White
says that because Bailey has legislative
experience, it should not be difficult to steer
the University in the right direction.
White stated two essential aims of his
administration. The first is to develop a bet­ter
understanding among the people of Ala­bama
of the aims and objectives of Auburn
University through the work of Bailey, who
he says is open and accessible to the media.
In the case of Bailey not being available, it
would be White's responsibility to answer
questions in the best possible manner. His
second objective is to make sure that any sort
of inquiries be answered as quickly and
straightforward as possible.
Being a former Plainsman editor, White
welcomes media attention and will answer
any questions that may arise.
"Auburn is a public institution needing a
lot of money from the legislature and we owe
the people of Alabama the right to know
what goes on at this university," White said.
White says that news is not always good
and cannot be protrayed as so. He stated
that it is not in the Univeristy's interest to
withhold or hide bad news. He says instead,
that there should be more of a balance in the
presentation of good and bad news, and that
both should be presented fairly and
objectively.
White has a positive attitute toward his

of a good university because of its faculty
and students.

From books to bones,
offices hold memories
By Jennifer Linn
and Melissa Shubert
Plainsman Staffwriters
Several interesting things can be
found in what some students feel is a
forbidden zone—a professor's office.
The offices of Dr. Joseph
Kicklighter, history; Dr. Daniel
Womochel, Geology; and Dr. Oxford
Stroud, English, are no exception.
In these offices, a student can learn
more about the professor himself.
The offices are holders of objects
that the professors enjoy and have
been collecting for years.
Kicklighter's office is filled with
history books that he has been
collecting since he finished
graduate school in" 1973. These
books range from topics dealing
with the Middle Ages to the steel
pact between Hitler and Mussolini.
"I don't limit myself to just
medieval history, which is my
specialty," says Kicklighter. "I'm
very interested in occupied France
during World War II, facist Italy,
and Anglo-German diplomatic
relations between 1919 and 1939,"
he says.
Since Kicklighter specializes in
medieval history, he says that many
of his books deal with specific areas
of that era. For example, on one
shelf there are books dealing with
southwestern France in the 13th
and 14th centrales.
"An area of France that is of
interest to me is Bordeaux, the
English capital of France in the
13th centruy," says Kicklighter.
"It's fascinating to study the Anglo-
French relations and the French
royalty of that time," he says.
Since the Protestant and Catholic
Reformations are of special interest
to Kicklighter, he has many books
dealing with these areas.

collection of the plays of Aescules,
Euripides, Sophocles and Aristo­phanes,"
he says.
" I ' v e kept all my college
textbooks, unlike most students
around here who rush off to sell their
books at the end of the quarter in
order to have money for a trip," says
Kicklighter. "I always felt a trip
could wait but that a textbook was
for a lifetime," he says.
The most important books in
Kicklighter's office are his reference
books that help him with his
research, he says. "I have books for
medieval latin and french and
clasical latin," says Kicklighter.
"The books that I have to have are
the Handbook of British Chro­nology,
a book on paleography and
the Dictionary of Symbols," says
Kicklighter. "The book on paleo­graphy
helps me read actual
medieval manuscripts," he says.
Most of Kicklighter's books are
special ordered with many of them
coming from Oxford and London,
England, Italy, and France, he says.
Books are not the only objects in
Kicklighter's office. He has many
pictures of his favorite people
throughout history, such as Marie
Antoinette, Thomas Cranmer, Pope
Julius II and Napoleon.
On one wall there is a chart of the
French king's family tree from the
seventh to the 17th centuries. On
another wall there is a chart of the
English kings. And tucked out of the
way, there are boxes of Figurines
that Kicklighter munches on when
he can't get out of his office, he says.
The first thing students may
notice in Womochel's office is the
dog's skull hanging from the
doorknob. Womochel explains that
some of his paleontology students
from a few years ago found the skull
and placed it on his door. Womochel
said he hopes it was a joke.
"I kept the skull there because it
makes it easier to find my office. It's
quite difficult to find anyone's office
back in this maze, so I tell students
to come to room 2183 and look for the
door with the dog's skull," says
Womochel with a grin.
Fossils and Indian artifacts
collected over the years from such
places as Pango Pango in the South
Pacific clutter Womochel's office.

New president addresses SGA;
asks for help to rebuild Auburn
By Keith Ayers
News Editor
Dr. Wilford S. Bailey, interim
president of Auburn University,
told a group of about 75 student
leaders Monday night to help their
school by working to rebuild
Auburn's academic reputation
across the state.
Bailey, who will serve as AU pres­ident
for the next 12 to 15 months,
was chosen Feb. 26 to serve as inte­rim
president after the resignation
of Dr. Hanly Funderburk. He
addressed the 34-member student
Senate and the 40-member cabinet
in a joint meeting.
Bailey told students they should
try to forget the turmoil of the past
year at Auburn and work toward
regaining the University's respect
across the state. He said students
should work in their own home­towns
to promote good will for the
school.
"All of us who are part of Auburn
have been hurt, but we are well
along in the healing process...What
has bappened here is possible in any
institution...We must profit by our
mistakes."
Bailey says "there is sufficient
blame to go around" for the recent
troubles at AU surrounding ex-president
Funderburk. "It would be
an exercise in futility...to try to place
the blame," he said.
Bailey says his main goals as
interim president will be to "pro­mote
the healing process," improve
academic programs, secure more
money for the school from both pub­lic
and private sources and assist
with the search for the new
president.
The five-member presidential
search committee of the AU Board
of Trustees, chaired by Bobby
Lowder of Montgomery, will seek
advice from an advisory panel
which includes three members of the
student body, three alumni and
three faculty.
SGA President Bill Godwin has
been asked by the trustees to select
the three student representatives.

From Coach Paterno
The following is excerpted from the
Daily Collegian, the student news­paper
of Penn State University:
Joe Paterno has called many a play
in his day, but the game plan he called
at Saturday's meeting of the Univer­sity
Board of Trustees had to be one of
his most courageous.
What the University needs, Paterno
told the trustees, is better libraries,
more "academic stars," more funds to
establish endowed chairs and an
"atmosphere of free speech and
dissent."
It is not much good having a first-class
football team, if we have a third-class
university. Only by improving
the libraries and research resources
can the University attract top scholars
and professors. And real learning can
only take place in a university that
One less
Last week we wrote about DUI in
this space. But talk is cheap. Many
times people must experience tragedy
before they will listen.
So now we have a tragedy for you.
Last Friday a group of students were
kicking off the weekend with a little
partying.
Then a young boy died and it became
a shame.
How do we sit down and write an
editorial about this? We've heard the
lectures. We heard all the stories. And
yet nothing stops us.
Even when one of us dies.
An incredible number of us have
driven drunk. It's hard to point the fin­ger
when we've committed the same
crime, but we're going to have to start.
There's nothing new under the sun,
and there's nothing more to say about
encourages free thinking and new
ideas.
Paterno also called for increased
minority recruitment. The University,
he said, needs "more people that come
to us with different ideas."
It takes a collection of people from
different backgrounds; it takes people
who are willing to challenge the per­ceived
norm. Real learning never takes
place in a sterile, complacent environ­ment
in which people look askance at
those who are different.
It was the first time in his 33 years at
the University that Paterno had the
opportunity to speak before the Board
of Trustees. His message has been a
long time coming - let's hope it doesn't
take as long for the trustees and the
members of the administration to
tackle his challenge.

Pointy-heads
Pointy-headed transplants.
Or, as they are sometimes called,
teachers.
We are in desperate need of teachers.
Teachers do not get paid enough. They
don't get enough respect in society.
And they are lured into other profes­sions
by more money.
The amazing thing that came out of
the controversy that recently engulfed
our campus was how the outside
regarded our faculty. It seems that
many do not understand the educa­tional
process. They wanted teachers
to educate Alabama's youth, but they
didn't want teachers to express their
ideas.
With the unattractive job situation
teachers find themselves with today,
the last thing they need is the flak
Outrageous salary
they've gotten for speaking up when
they saw something wrong at our
school.
And when you consider how much
we need these teachers, flak is the last
thing we need to give them.
Many kept yelling for the faculty to
"shut up and teach." Besides being a
contradiction, this is a statement that
should never be hedrd inan institution
of higher learning.
Even among those who wanted
Funderburk to go, it became fashiona­ble
to believe that the faculty was get­ting
too vocal.
We will not go with this flow. The
Plainsman is proud of the AU faculty.
Every step of the way they showed
they cared for Auburn.
And we should all be very thankful
to them.
We hate to keep jumping on the guy.
And indeed it seems that we're doing
exactly that. However, there is matter
that is so glaring that it demands
commentary.
Dr. Funderburk's salary.
Dr. Funderburk will be assuming a
position at AUM while retaining the
salary he made here as president:
$74,000.
AUM Chancellor James Williams
will be making $17,000 less than this
and we're sure he's thrilled.
In addition, Funderburk will be
allowed six months "sabbatical leave"
with pay. For what?
We wouldn't mind it if this were the
same treatment that Philpott got, but
it's not.
Are we afraid to hurt someone's feel­ings?
Are we obliged to throw fistfuls
of cash at people when we decide they
won't work out?
We've got teachers to pay and build­ings
to build. Let the Farm Bureau pay
him. The taxpayers have a school to
support.

Understanding the plight of 34
How many saw Herschel Walker play
football Sunday? It seems that New Jersey
uses the same offense that Georgia does.
Give Herschel the ball and throw some raw
meat in the endzone.
The first time I saw Walker play was in
Auburn. Several kids were parading in
front of the AU student section with a bed-sheet
that said "Hershel is illegitimate."
This was quite some time, you must
remember, before the NCAA made it
official.
Number 34 and Georgia went on to dom­inate
Auburn, the SEC and the nation for
the next three years. But now that he's
decided to leave the Dogs and turn pro, eve­ryone
is accusing him of lying and accept­ing
an outrageous salary.
This is nonsense. Herschel never "lied,"
nor did he hold out for too much money.
You see, the "sporting world" operates on
an entirely different value system. This is
why concert pianists are starving, while
those who can bang heads effectively are in
Fat City. And who in the sporting world
has time to worry about "lying" when
attempted murder is called "unnecessary
roughness"?
To understand all that happened and all
that was said about Herschel Walker, we
must first become familiar with the semi-bizzare
values of the sports world.
The sporting world is totally masculine.
Jock itch belongs in the sporting world.
Broken eyelashes do not. People spit a lot in
the sporting world. Radial tires, after shave
and Gatorade are the status symbols in
sporting circles. Cold beer must be on hand
at all times in the sporting world. Women
have no place in the sports world unless
they're going to get more cold beer.
You can never talk about something
plainly in the sports world. Whatever you
are saying must first be translated into
manly-terms. Say, for example, that I have
a sprained ankle. To the trained sports
announcer, this would become a "groin
injury." Only if you've had a groin injury
are you allowed to hang out with people in
the sports world.
And the sporting is so macho that men
can pat each others' rears and not be called
"sissies." Welcome to the American
sportsmen. More cold beer!
With these values in mind, we can go
back over all the strange quotes we either
didn't believe or didn't understand about
Herschel the first time around:
There was the Georgia senior who told
USA Today that Herschel's departure
"was a shock to everyone here. It's like the
president had been assassinated." To
someone not in the sports world, this may
seem extreme. What this really means,
however, was that it was only like "cer­tain"
presidents had been assassinated.
Vince Dooley, Georgia head football
coach, told the press, "I wished (Herschel)
luck, told him to keep in touch and told him
I was happy for him." Of course this is
completely unrealistic, even to a five-year-old.
What Vince really means is "I'm going
to lock myself in a closet and carve an 'X' in
my forehead with a paring knife."
Jesse Outlar, sports editor for the
Atlanta Constitution and a man who
doesn't understand the sporting world,
said in one of his columns, "I believe the
USFL lost whatever credibility it had,
instead of gaining instant credibility."
Jesse, so what? If the USFL wants credibil­ity,
it'll put on Masterpiece Theatre. The
sporting world dees not care about credibil­ity,
only winners. And more cold beer.
Herschel himself said he would "be back
in the fall" to continue his education. These
are throw-away words. Ignore them. They
represent nothing in the real world.
New Jersey Generals owner Walter Dun­can
maintained that Herschel's contract
was nowhere near the ridiculous figures
going around, although he finally did
admit that he had given Walker part of a
yet-to-be-drilled oil well in Oklahoma. Dun­can
later admitted that Walker would also
receive a yet-to-be-launched satellite, the
yet-to-be-toppled government of Brazil, a
human sacrifice of his choice, and a family-pack
of scooter pies.
Our own Pat Dye made several state­ments
during the event, like, "This is defi­nitely
a blow to college football."
What he is really saying is "Sugar Bowl!
Sugar Bowl!...Everyone sing along! Sugar
Bowl!..."

All the Oscar nominations
Well, The Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences has announced its
'Oscar' nominees for 1983 and, for the most
part, the major nominees are right on
target.
'Ghandi '-Richard Attenborough's 'world
event,' 'Tootsie,' and 'E.T. The Extra-
Terrestrial" led the balloting with 11, 10
and nine nominations respectively.
Those three excellent films were joined in
the Best Picture race by 'The Verdict' and
'Missing.'
The nominees for Best Actor include Paul
Newman for 'The Verdict,' Ben Kingsley
for 'Ghandi,' Dustin Hoffman for 'Tootsie,'
Jack Lemmon for 'Missing' and Peter
O'Toole for 'My Favorite Year.'
The nominees for Best Actress are led
by former winner Meryl Streep for her role
in 'Sophie's Choice,' followed by Jessica
Lange in 'Frances,' Julie Andrews in 'Vic­tor/
Victoria,' Sissy Spacek in 'Missing'
and Debra Winger in 'An Officer and a
Gentleman.'
The list of men nominated for Best Sup­porting
Actor is filled with familiar faces.
Veteran Charles Durning is nominated for
'The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,' fol­lowed
by Louis Gossett, Jr. in 'An Officer
and a Gentleman,' John Lithgow in "The
World According to Garp,' James Mason in
'Ghandi' and Robert Preston in
'Victor/Victoria.'
The list of Best Supporting Actress
nominees is led by none other than Jessica
Lange for 'Tootsie.' Lange is the first
actress to be nominated in two categories in
forty years. Others nominated included
Glenn Close for The World According to
Garp,' Terri Garr for 'Tootsie,' Kim Stanley
for 'Frances' and Lesley Ann Warren for
'Victor/Victoria.'
This year, the Academy has made some
wise choices with its nominees. As usual,
there are glaring mistakes, such as the
omission from the nominees entirely of
'Shoot the Moon,' an excellent and stirring
picture featuring outstanding performan­ces
by Diane Keaton and Albert Finney.
At least this year the awards will not be
meshed with sentimentality. There are no
Henry Fondas, Katharine Hepburns or
Richard Burtons in the running for the
coveted award, so there should be some
close races this year.
What are my choices? I figure 'Ghandi'
will sweep both Best Picture and Best
Actor, although I feel Dustin Hoffman
gave a better performance than Ben Kings-ley.
Meryl Streep is a virtual shoe-in as Best
Actress following her triumphant por­trayal
of William Styron's Sophie, but all is
not lost for Jessica Lange. Although Glenn
Close's performance as Garp's mother mer­its
giving her the award, Lange will win if
only to make up for her loss at Best Actress.
Louis Gossett Jr. is another shoe-in as Best
Supporting Actor.
These are just my guesses. No one knows
exactly what will take place in Los Angeles
in April. Who would have thought that
'Chariots of Fire' would beat out both
'Reds' and 'On Golden Pond' to win Best
Picture honors of 1982?
While we're on the subject of nomina­tions,
I feel it is my duty as a Plainsman
writer to nominate locals after they were
slighted by the Academy.
The hottest contested race in Auburn will
be that of Best Actor in a sporting event or
major controversy. Coach Pat Dye seems to
be the frontrunner with his excellent por­trayal
of a coach at the top in '2322, A
Sports Odyssey.' However, Dye will receive
stiff competition from Hanly Funderburk
and Wilford Bailey, stars of 'An Eyesore
and A Gentleman.' Not to be counted
lightly are the final candidates: Auburn
Trustee 'Red' Bamberg in 'R.C. The Ever-
Detestable,' and Dr. Gordon Bond who
rants and raves but never gives specifics in
the sleeper-hit, 'Whiner.'
The only other category with nominees
this year is that of Best Performance by a
group. The Auburn University History
GTAs seem to have the inside track for this
one with their powerful, moving perfor­mance
in 'Goodbye, Mr. Flynt.' Finally, the
Auburn University Board of Trustees is
nominated again for their ever popular 'All
the Governor's Men.'
And the winner is...
Back from the fossil expedition
The surrounding woods looked no differ­ent
than any South Alabama forest. But
when we stepped down into Little Stave
Creek, we stepped back in time.
Embedded in the walls of the creek were
fossils and earthen sediments dating
before the Pleistocene Ice Age. As we fol­lowed
the creekbed, walking through an
ancient land, we took a modern age trip
into what is today known as the Gulf Coas­tal
Plains region.
This trip back in time came during an
invertebrate paleo zoology field trip.
Designed to give students the opportunity
to see first-hand what they are studying in
class, students are able to observe, collect
and study ancient earthen formations.
For college students field trips such as
this are an invaluable source of informa­tion
and knowledge. A person can read
about something in a textbook all he wants,
but until he actually goes out and is able to
observe and learn about this subject in its
actual environment he may never fully
understand what he reads.
Unfortunately, Auburn University is not
big on field trips. On our University seal it
lists the college's three main objectives as
instruction, extension and research.
Although these may be named, it seems
Auburn sometimes forgets they all work in
hand. True, a university's main objective is
to teach. But a large part of teaching comes
form gaining experience through the field.
That is where research, including class
field trips, come in. If you do not gain field
experience while in college, where will you
get it? Employers like to hire graduates
who have at least had some type of hands-on
experience in their field.
Perhaps the University feels that fund­ing
field trips or departments is not worth
the cost. True, these trips could get quite
costly. But isn't education the reason uni­versities
exist ?
All academic departments on campus
need more money. That is simply a fact of
life in today's universities. But because the
University would prefer to spend its money
in other areas does not mean that students
should be deprived of learning valuable
facts and information from their professors
and instructors.
Geologically speaking, I am told that
Alabama has some of the best sites for field
trips that could be found anywhere in the
Southeast. Unfortunately, the many
departments are not able to make full use of
this. Because of lack of logistical support,
the department is limited in the amount of
exposure students can receive.
I am not advocating that every depart­ment
at Auburn should have unlimited
access to funds to make any field trips they
feel necessary. But every department
should have the option of taking at least
three field trips per year - one per quarter.
Not partial, half-shot trips, but trips funded
well enough that students can learn
something.
It has been said "a little learning is a
dangerous thing." But think what shape
the world would be in if college graduates
were not able to obtain experience in their
fields.
Field trips are a necessary part of a col­lege
career - an extremely essential part to
understanding and applying class
knowledge.
It's sad that fact goes ignored.
A-5 The Auburn Plainsman Thursday, March 10, 1983
We always let it all slip by
until there's nothing to do
Last winter a friend of mine, a junior in
college, died unexpectedly. Last quarter an
Auburn student was killed while jogging.
Last weekend a senior at Auburn was the
victim of a fatal car accident.
It happens every day, it's real. People die.
And relatives and friends experience an
indescribable pain that no one else can
really understand.
All of the sudden time seems to stand still
because you think it's all a dream. Things
that seemed important yesterday are now
trivial. You feel stupid about the things
you've been complaining about.
The world around you doesn't even seem
concerned. Work goes on, classes continue,
people keep doing whatever they always
do. You (or I did anyway) want to run out in
the middle of the street or stand up in class
and ask everyone do they not understand
that someone you love has just died, and
that this whole thing about life and death is
really real?
What is important in this life? Some­times
it's hard to know because so many
different things are constantly bombard­ing
us for our attention. There is an endless
amount of activities to be involved in and
areas where we can channel our energies
for constructive ends.
Our society offers unlimited varieties of
entertainment, things to do and places to
go. We have a fast-paced society where it's
easy to end up finding ourselves being shal­low
and surface with one another. As a stu­dent
I am saddened that I can go through
several classes with someone and still not
even know their name just because I didn't
take the time to learn it. As a roommate I
am saddened that at times I have gone for
days not knowing that one of my room­mates
was hurting because I was too busy
to notice.
There are probably more times than I
could count when my friends had needs
that I could have helped to meet but didn't
because I was busy working on a story, or
gone to another group activity or
something.
We have a fast-paced society where it's
easy to live at such a fast pace that we only
think about the immediate demands of the
day. We are so geared to investing our time
in the things we do instead of the people we
know.
It may not always be obvious in my life,
but I think people should be my first prior­i
ty above other obligations and
responsibilities.
Jesus said "No greater love has any man
that this, that one lay down his life for his
friends. This I command you that you love
one another." I think God puts that love in
perfect perspective when we keep His grea­test
commandment to love Him with all of
our heart, soul, strength and mind. With
security put in Him, we can risk sinking
time into "doing for others" because
although people won't always give in
return, God always does.
Society rarely encourages us to get away
and get quiet, to seriously think about what
in this life is really of longlasting impor­tance.
But when you lose a friend to a tragic
accident and have to face an unexpected
death it becomes hard to avoid the issue of
what in this life is important.
I'm convinced that life is about people,
people are important. And God is security. I
fall short of making "my people" in my life
as important as they should be, probably
almost every day. But God has the capacity
to enable us to love others the way He
would. That is where I believe longlasting
joy can be found in abundance.
Don't wait until someone you know dies.
If you haven't seriously searched for what
life is about and what is of greatest impor­tance,
if in the quiet of your heart and soul
you haven't questioned this, please do,
soon.

The freeze is appeasement
Editor, The Plainsman:
In the face of mounting pressure in this
country, especially on college campuses, to
end the production of nuclear weapons
through,the "freeze" movement, I think we
as students should take a more prudent
look at what would be the most logical pol­icy
for this country to pursue to insure
peace. A total halt of the production of new
missile systems in this country without a
verifiable agreement to the same by the
Soviets amounts to nothing more than
appeasement. Yes, appeasement, the policy

Ashamed
of photograph
Editor, The Plainsman,
For the first time in 20 years I was
ashamed of Auburn University. When I
saw a picture on the front page of Sunday's
Dothan Eagle showing seven students
rejoicing over another Auburn man's
misfortune, I was embarrassed. It
displayed a complete lack of sensitivity
and class. Maybe it was best that Dr.
Funderburk resign, but to celebrate this
event publicly was both uncalled for, sick
and uncommon to what Auburn University
stands for.
I have enclosed a copy of the picture. You
can give it to one of the students to place in
their scrapbook so they can show their
friends, children and grandchildren.
Don F. McClendon
Class of '68
1930's to maintain peace in Europe.
I am not predicting a nuclear war if we
do continue to produce nuclear arms,
although that is not totally out of the ques­tion.
What the freeze does is show our lack
of resolve in seeking to maintain systems
equivalent or superior to those of the
Soviets, a policy which will encourage the
U.S.S.R. to continue the global expansion
of its totalitarian regime.
I am for peace not war. I think all Ameri­cans,
in or out of government, are for peace.
This is the reason the U.S., a peaceful coun­try,
and not the U.S.S.R., a power hungry
country, should have more advanced
nuclear systems. Although we have
researched and developed new systems, the
U.S. has not mass-produced a new missile
system since the Minute Man III in 1967.
The Soviets have researched, developed,
and mass-produced several new systems
since that time. Is it not more logical to
maintain peace through showing our
resolve to maintain the strength to defend
ourselves, even if after a Soviet first strike,
and drive the Soviets to the bargaining
table with an earnest attitude that to expect
the U.S.S.R., considering its history, to fol­low
our example of disarmament.

On finally catching 'Senioritis'
It's finally happened, I don't know how
or when, but it haB. My sisters warned me,
and my best friend warned me, but I didn't
listen. No, I fooled around and caught it.
"Senioritis," the debilitating disease of col­lege
seniors has infested my mind.
"Senioritis" usually strikes it's victims
somewhere during the middle of their
senior year, and when it does it leaves the
GPA and hopes of a job in shambles. The
disease first appears when a senior realizes
that graduation is looming on the horizon
and that an eight hour work-day world is
not far off.
The symptoms are terminal laziness,
lingering apathy, reoccuring discourage­ment
and an all encompassing "devil may
care" attitude.
Most seniors, when they contract "senio­ritis"
don't know what it is, they only real­ize
they are growing increasingly uninter­ested
in their grades and classwork. I know
one "senioritis" victim personally who
hasn't been to more than three classes a
week this entire quarter. Amazingly
enough, he is passing with what he calls a
"respectable D" in each class. His philo­sophy
is that with only one and a half quar­ters
left till graduation, he should "eat,
drink and be merry, because tomorrow he'll
have to get a job."
My "senioritis" is not just toward school
and classes, that aspect is overshadowed
by my lack of interest in life in general.
Basically, I'd be perfectly happy sleeping
and eating, but I'm told by friends that if I
did this I'd look like a beached whale
within a matter of weeks. Still the prospect
is intriging.
Now, not all seniors get senioritis, and
those that do, get it in varing degrees. Some
attend classes but don't put forth much
effort to excell, some sleep through classes,
and some skip classes all together. But
overall the results are the same. The qual­ity
of their work goes down.
In my experience, it seems this affliction
hits the students who are fed up with
school, but who are not interested in look­ing
for a job yet. Me? Well, I'd like a job, but
unrealistic as it is, I keep hoping one will
step out from behind a tree and hit me
straight on. This is an attitude that needs
to be dealt with soon, maybe next quarter.
Procrastination is another symptom of
"senioritis".
Generally, the students who are never hit
by "senioritis" are the ones who know
exactly where they're going when they
graduate. A lot of these students are in
technical fields like engineering. They're
the type who have job interviews at the
placement office three days a week, are
offered plant trips out of town every other
week and who come back from plant trips
with a job offer at $27,000 a year. Now don't
get me wrong, this is not jealousy. This is
petty jealousy. The interviews and plant
trips and even the money don't bother me
that much, its their options. If I got offered
$27,000 to work in outer Mongolia, I'd be a
fool not to take it, but they can afford to
turn down $27,000 in New Jersey because
they don't like the weather.
"Senioritis" rarely hits these organized
people. They stay dedicated to their work
and grades, and don't miss class just to
watch "Leave it to Beaver" reruns.
It's the average students who have direc­tion
in life, but can't follow the arrows, who
are hit with "senioritis." I question the
fairness of this. It is like the disease hits
those who can least afford to be sick.
I'm sure that many seniors have reco­vered
from "senioritis" and given up the
three day drinking parties and the mara­thon
eating contest, but I'm still trying to
find out how. Meanwhile, "senioritis" vic­tims,
like me, are trying to shake the desire
to "just get by until graduation," but with
little success.
But for all you "senioritis" victims
remember you're not alone. Instead of wor-ring
about it, maybe we should just sit back
and enjoy it.
By the way, there is a pizza and beer
party at noon on Tuesday.
What do you mean you can't make it?
You've got a class?
Aw....forget class, what difference does
it make, you're a Senior.
HOW.HERES A PLAN WE IN WASHINGTON (M LIVE WITH,,,
Aerobics not what I had imagined
I had reluctantly settled in for a rare
evening of study when a friend called ask­ing
me if I would like to go to an aerobics
class. I deliberated for a moment, staring
half-heartedly at the stack of books at my
feet, and raced for the door.
Aside from having heard the word used
in conversation and turning off the
Richard Simmons Show several times I
didn't have the slightest idea of what aero­bics
were. As an exercise I had it nestled
somewhere between croquet and
badmitton.
I was feeling a twinge of apprehension
when we reached the Union building, but I
kept reminding myself that if a girl could
handle it then so could I. We found an open
spot in the midst of several girls who were
busy stretching out, and as I looked around
the crowded room I suddenly noticed that I
was one of the only men in the room. Smil­ing
to myself I was confident that I had
finally discovered the exercise for me. This
was shaping up to be healthy, fun and dis­tinctly
more appealing than lifting weights
in a room packed with sweating, muscle-crazed
hulks.
The class started smoothly enough. Our
leader started her tape deck and our group
slowly gyrated to the beat. If this was all
there was to aerobics, I thought, the next
hour is going to be a snap. Then the music
got faster.
The first tremors of impending disaster
came when I noticed that everyone in the
room was moving in time to the music
except me. It was like being the only person
at a concert who finds it impossible to clap
to the beat, but continues to clap spasti-cally
regardless.
I vowed to get back into the groove with
the next exercise but, like most other reso­lutions,
this one was best forgotten. The
girl leading the session had somehow
managed to squat down near the floor and
was moving her hips in some odd, elliptical
pattern. All the girls in the room were able
to mimic her perfectly, and of course, each
in exact time with the music. I had finally
managed to figure out the jungle beat of the
music, unfortunately, I found that in my
case the exercise they were doing was an
unnatural act. My body, I was certain, had
never been designed to move in that
fashion.
I heaved a sigh of relief when the music
stopped. I cringed when it started again,
faster than before.
Sit-ups were next on the agenda. By this
point I was sprawled across the floor gasp­ing
like a beached whale. The girls around
me had prudently moved away to a safe
distance but my pitiful condition must
have brought out the maternal instinct in
them. They were all staring at me. One told
me that it would all be over soon. I wasn't
sure whether she was referring to the aero­bics
class or the remainder of my life. I was
leaning toward the latter.
Our final method of inflicting pain was a
variation of running in place. I do enjoy
running so I thought the afternoon might
end on a slightly positive note. I should
have know I'd be wrong. This exercise
included touching one's elbow to the oppo­site
knee while running. I can only imagine
what I must have looked like, but it must
have been brutal.
Finally the last song faded away and I
sank to the floor in a pool of sweat and the
shattered remnants of my ego. My friend,
who had moved to the other side of the room
after my attempted coed drop-kick, tossed a
towel, shroud-like over my head and led me
dazed and exhausted out into the street.
Gradually my battered senses began to
return. I thought of how pleasant and grat­ifying
it would be to hit my alleged "friend"
but my arms refused to do anything but
twitch weakly at my sides. I decided to set­tle
for verbal abuse but the only result was
an incoherent sequence of mumbling
linked with obscenities. My friend just
watched and giggled.
Aerobics, I've decided, are not for me. As
a form of exercise it should have been out­lawed
along with the Inquisition. I need an
exercise that is both simple and easy. I
wonder if Coach Dye has any openings on
the football team.

Professor rocks 'n' rolls to economic tune
By Monique VanLandingham
Managing Editor
When Dr. Randall Holcombe says
he lived practically out of his car as
a student, he means it literally.
For two years of his undergradu­ate
career, the Auburn economics
professor lived in a Volkswagen bus
- the only automobile he's ever
owned.
It was just practical at the time, he
says of his home on wheels. He
explains that while at the Univer­sity
of Florida he played guitar in
rock 'n' roll bands which used his
bus to transport music equipment.
"But we only needed it a couple of
nights a weeks and I hated to see all
that space in the back go to waste,"
Holcombe says.
The 32-year-old economics profes­sor
says even then he was concerned
with economy in that situation. "In
a band," he says, "you can never
count on money months ahead
because you don't book that far in
advance."
His talent as a guitarist did pro­vide
him enough money to survive,
he says, though he modestly admits
his musical abilities were limited.
"I was mediocre to not-so-good. In
fact, in one band I played for...we
didn't call ourselves artists, we said
we were business musicians."
In the interest of financial survi­val,
Holcombe says, the band did it's
best to please it's audience.
If the price was right, band
members would dance on stage with
a strobe light. "At the fraternity
theme parties, we'd dress to suit the
theme. At the pajama parties we'd
all wear our jammies and at the
surfer parties we wore baggies." He
explained that "baggies" is the
proper name for surfer's attire. His
band even had a spare guitar to
break on stage if the occasion mer­ited
it.
Holcombe describes his experien­ces
in the band as "a lot of fun." He
enjoyed it so much, in fact, that he
quit the college track team, losing
his chance for a scholarship, to stay
with the band.
, Beginning his freshman year,
Holcombe ran the mile, the half mile
and cross country track for the Uni­versity
of Florida. He was not on
scholarship but the possibility of
getting one began to look good. "I
thought I could probably get a scho­larship
because all the runners on
scholarships were flunking out of
school, so I told the coach 'I may not
be the fastest person on the team,
but I'm the fastest one who's still
passing.' "
The coach didn't agree with Hol-combe's
reasoning. Instead, "he rec­ruited
fast freshmen who flunked
out later.
"What the coach really wanted was
to be an Olympic coach. He was
chosen to be one, too. But it was for
the 1980 team," Holcombe says.
It wasn't long before track meets
on the road began to conflict with
his budding music career, Holcombe
says. So, after he and his coach con­flicted
on the question of whether an
SEC meet had precedence over a
weekend gig, Holcombe quit the
until recently. He also has a room
full of synthesizers at his home. "I
can't watch TV because I don't have
one," he says, "so playing the syn­thesizers
is a good way to spend an
evening."
Last fall, Holcombe took an inter­est
in art other than music-martial
arts. He took up Karate, he says jok­ingly,
"because I've always wanted
to be able to kill with my bare
hands."
Since last fall, he has worked his
way through two levels from a white
he will put more emphasis on
another of his hobbies, flying. He
now has his pilot's license and has a
plane at the Auburn airport.
Curiously, he says, while he
drives the same VW bus he lived in
at college, he has already been
through three planes. "The VW
keeps on going but the plane is
always in the shop." He says when
his plane is functioning, he uses it
on various business and pleasure
excursions to places such as
Washington, Philadelphia, and
Florida. Though he likes to travel,
FROM THE BUS TO THE CLASSROOM
.Economics professor as undergrad lived in his Volkswagon
team, grew long hair and took up
residence in his VW bus.
His adventures, however, didn't
end there, for Holcombe's interests
are as mobile as his home.
"I jump about from one thing to
another," he says, adding he did
play solo in lounges after his band
dispersed, "singing protest songs
long after they went out of style."
He put his guitar away only to
pick up the violin and played it in
the Auburn University Symphony
to a green belt. He may never make
it beyond that, though, because this
is his master's last quarter here.
Traditionally, Holcombe says, a
karate student learns the art exclu­sively
from one master, so unless he
follows his to Decatur he will have to
forego the black belt. Then, perhaps
he says, he is quite content with his
life in Auburn. "I do like the South.
It's not so much because of what it
has, but what it doesn't have, which
is cold weather. The people here are
friendly just like they say they are.
You can tell people from New Jersey
just by the way they act toward
other people."
Holcombe says though he lived in
Florida for six years he never really
got a taste of the true Southern fla­vor
when he was there. He says he
has lived all over the country and
when he moved to Florida he
believed it was representative of the
South. "I thought the U.S. was
pretty homogneous until I went to
grad school in Virginia. I thought
people didn't really eat grits, that
they were just a novelty item like
hoop skirts." Now, he says he really
feels like a Southerner. He can even
tell people he's from Auburn since
he's lived here as long as he's lived
anywhere in his life.
"Auburn's a nice town. I can walk
into work every day and I can walk
almost anywhere I need to. I like
having the University community."
He says one reason he went into
teaching is because he is fond of the
academic atmosphere. "I enjoy this
line of work. I like teaching the
introductory classes because maybe
I can get students to make the tran­sition
from looking at the world as
they have been, to looking at it as an
economist. It's neat when they can
say T never thought of it like that
but he has a point.' " He says he
likes to try to relate the class to
things that interest students. "I also
bring the newspaper in almost every
day to relate to things we learn in
class so its not so abstract-it's not
just graphs on a blackboard. I also
try to be enthusiastic about what I
teach. I think enthusiasm is
contagious."
His job here is twofold, Holcombe
stresses, and he is careful not to put
teaching above research and writ­ing.
"If I have an interest in some­thing,
I can explore it and if what I
come up with is good I can get the
stuff published," he says. Appar­ently
some of his "stuff was good,
for he has a book coming out next
month. "And that book was so much
fun," he says, "I'm starting another
one."
He says he enjoys research
because "you're your own boss," but
perhaps more importantly, it is an
outlet for his own boundless
curiousity.
He says it is yet another outlet for
his curiousity.

research Henderson's forte
By Becky Thies
Plainsman Staffwriter
When Auburn students have legal
p r o b l e m s they call Henry
Henderson.
Henderson is in charge of the free
legal advice offered by the Career
Development Services and funded
by the University. His full-time job
gives him "an opportunity to teach
law one-on-one" because he exer­cises
a professor-student relation­ship
in answering students' law
questions, says the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology and Emory
University graduate.
Henderson will not research a
question unless a student agrees to
help him. He wants each person to
see where the information comes
from and how to find it, he says.
Although he may already know an
answer, he always checks to see if

DUE PROCESS
.Henderson helps with student legal problems through research
Library
Also included in the periodical
system are annuals and conference
proceedings of various academic
groups and societies.
Periodicals provide the most cur­rent
information available for every
discipline on campus. They are
among the most important items in
the library, says Serials Librarian
Betty Turk.
Leaders of several academic dis­ciplines
across campus agree with
Turk.
Kirby L. Hays, a former head of
the Zoology-Entomology Depart­ment,
mirrors the thoughts of other
leaders, calling periodicals "the
most important aspect of the
library."
Graduate and faculty research
programs depend in large part on
the library's periodicals, he says.
"All of the research that goes on is
done through world-wide communi­cation
with other researchers
through periodicals," says Fred J.
Molz, director of the Engineering
Experiment Station.
Math Department Head Ben Fitz-patrick
says periodicals are "abso­lutely
essential for research." The
journals communicate research
problems and open up new areas of
mathematics, he adds.
In the Architecture Department
periodicals are used in the teaching
process as well as in research, says
Richard Millman, acting head of the
department.
"Students use periodicals con­stantly,"
he says. The journals con­tain
important case studies and
provide exposure to current design
ideas and methods.
This is particularly important
because of Auburn's isolated loca­tion,
architecturally speaking,
stresses Millman.
Periodicals also affect faculty
recruitment, notes Dr. Robert
Hebert, head of the Economics
Department. Prospective faculty
members may be turned away if
adequate research materials-periodicals—
aren't available.
Adequate research materials are a
key element in faculty retention,
adds Fitzpatrick.
Opinions vary on whether the
library's periodicals adequately
support research.
Molz considers the periodicals
"reasonably good as far as engi-
Continued from A-3
neering is concerned," and Hays
calls zoology-entomology resources
"pretty good at this time."
"Merely adequate" best describes
the opinions of Fitzpatrick, Hebert
and Millman.
However all five agreed that the
periodical system needs improve­ment.
Journals dealing with new facets
of applied mathematics are badly
needed to keep his department up to
date, says Fitzpatrick.
Hebert and Millman also call for
newer journals in addition to cur­rent
periodicals. More periodicals
provide more outlets for AU
research and provide more know­ledge
from outside sources Hebert
says.
He adds that it's difficult to get a
continuing committment for many
periodicals, probably because of the
nature of library funding.
According to figures Mrs. Turk
supplied, of the 10,000-odd periodi­cals
the library receives, about 2,800
are gifts from individuals or free
documents from government agen­cies
like the Environmental Pro­tection
Agency. A total budget of
$935,947 supports the other periodi­cals
and about 180 newspapers.
Spending cuts and inflation are
the biggest problems facing the
library in dealing with the periodi­cals,
Holloway says. An adequate
budget one year can be woefully
inadequate the next because of
inflation.
This means some periodicals will
have to be cut and new subscrip­tions
decreased, he adds.
Recent contributions from the AU
Generations Fund to the library have
little effect on the periodicals, says
Gibbs, because the subscriptions
will dry up when the money is gone
if the library depends on one-time
grants to fund new and existing
periodicals.
Long-term funding is necessary to
keep the periodicals up to date.
Financial needs grow as the peri­odical
system grows, adds Gibbs. It
costs more and more to maintain
subscriptions each year.
Instead of increased funding, the
Periodicals Review Committe has
had to function with a decreased
budget.

the law has been changed because it
is continuously amended.
Henderson spends three or four
hours a week in the library looking
for answers and checking changes,
espcially those concerning federal
law.
"Researching the law is like
researching anything else," he says.
"I am convinced that the people who
make up the digests and the codes
are trying to hide the information
and bury the decision under some­thing
that's not there."
Looking for hidden answers is not
a hindrance to this " counselor-oriented"
attorney. Whenever stu­dents
ask questions that he doesn't
know the answers to, he loves it, he
says.
According to Henderson, Auburn
students have discussed "all facets
of the law" since he became the part-time
legal adviser in 1977. Since
that time, as many as 1500 people
consult him each year, he adds.
Typical problems include traffic
violations, shoplifting, possession
of marijuana, assuault and battery,
roommate and landlord problems
and contract disputes, says
Henderson.
For instance, he says when stu­dents
who are charged with DUI
(driving under the influence) come
to see him for advise, he explains
that the police do not have a right to
give them a breathalyzer test unless
they are legally arrested. He adds
that running through a yellow light
is not a legal arrest, so the charges
should be nullified.
"Many times students come with
what they consider to be a legal
problem, but what they really need
is just some good fatherly advice,"
he says. "They want to talk in com­plete
confidence, which the
a t t o r n e y - c l i e n t r e l a t i o n s h ip
provides."
During these sessions, all infor­mation
is confidential so long as
students are talking about what
happened prior to the time they
walked in this room. I've had stu­dents
who were so mad that they
started telling me how they were
going to get those other people. I told
them to stop because I have to tell
the police anything that is prospec­tive
crime," he says.
Once a student confides in him
Henderson studies problem care­fully
and examines the alternatives
to fit each individual's needs. "Stu­dents
usually make the decisions,
except in rare cases where I make
the decision," Henderson says.
"I don't eyen call up landlords and
argue with them on behalf of the
student. I tell the student what their
rights are, and they have to nego­tiate
with the landlord. However, if I
feel there is a real extenuating situa­tion,
for instance, handicapped stu­dents
who have difficulty communi­cating,
I will call the landlord," he J
says.
Although he may not represent
students in court, he tries to make
them aware of their rights and helps .
to "forecast the upcoming events in
both civil and criminal cases," he
says. Sometimes he plays "devil's
advocate" to prepare them for the
public defender and the judge, he
continues. But if the need arises, he
will recommend an attorney.
"The University is not in the advo­cacy
business; we're in the teaching
business. Lawyers in town kid me
by saying I'm the only one who has
a guaranteed clientele; but I say for
teaching—not for practicing law,"
says Henderson.
"I see such great kids—even kids
who have gotten into real trouble.
We've got a group of students here
t h a t are r e a s s u r i n g , " says
Henderson.
"It's an effort on my part not to
become emotionally involved—
particularly when I feel that some­one's
been stomped on by someone
that I know and I want to go stomp
on that person," he adds.
Henderson says his best advice to
students is to "use their own best
judgement as things develop."

Instructors with classes meeting fewer than three times a week should
check with their departmental office of the Registrar's Office for a
possible room conflict with classes meeting in the same room a t the
same class hour on different days. If a room conflict exists, the exam
time should be moved to one of the Special Examination Periods or
another room scheduled.
III. 600-Level Courses: The professor teachin g a 60Q-level course shall
determine whether a formal final examination is appropriate. If one is
to be given, it shall be scheduled at a time during the final
examination period which does not conflict with scheduled
examinations for other courses in which students in that course are
enrolled. Generally, it is expected that the exam will be given at the
time examsare scheduled for other classes meeting at the samehbur.
Professor adopts 'squirrelly' pals
By Darrell Roberts
Plainsman Staffwriter
Students may often think of the
squirrels around campus as almost
tame creatures which play on the
concourse and scurry from tree to
tree.
But Robert S. Lishak, associate
professor of zoology and entomol­ogy,
says squirrels often need some
help surviving in this world.
And he enjoys providing this help.
Lishak raises an average of 10-12
Gray Squirrels each year which
have fallen from trees or that stu­dents
have brought to him. Since
Spring is the time for the birth of
young animals, he says it is also the
time when three to four-week-old
squirrels fall from their nests and
become prey to cats, dogs and even
humans.

Although Lishak raises young
squirrels, he would not encourage
students to attempt it. Trying to
raise a squirrel in captivity can be
hard, he says, because it can be
killed by such a simple act as being
nursed on skim milk. However, he
says squirrels can be made into pets,
providing students receive advice
on how to raise them.
Several squirrels on campus have
been the subject of tests, evidenced
by dyed black hair and earrings.
These markings are used to help
keep track of the furry creatures.
.Lishak says he has conducted
studies on the sounds that squirrels
make. He says adult squirrels have
a vocal range of about four notes,
which is used for mating calls and to
alert other sqirrels about a possible
danger.
One of the reasons Auburn has an
abundance of squirrels is because
there is ample food for them here.
Lishak says there are plenty of nuts,
seeds and tree and flower buds for
them to feed on.
Living in such close proximity
with students has caused many
squirrels to become tame enough for
students to get close to them, but
Lishak says he would encourage
them not to because they might be
interfering with a test theUniversity
i s conducting.

Shortage of teachers may worsen Unplanned pregnancy?
By Keith Ayers
News Editor
The dean of education at Auburn
University says unless more incen­tives
are offered, public school sys­tems
face a worsening shortage of
teachers. .
Dr. Jack Blackburn, dean of the
AU School of Education, said a
serious shortage of teachers has
developed in the area of math,
science, industrial arts, special edu­cation
and computer education.
"To the best of our know­ledge,
the teacher shortage pheno­menon
is primarily caused by low
salaries for teachers in comparison
with other professional, low profes­sional
status in society, and the
belief that there is an oversupply of
teachers," Blackburn says.
He said higher standards in the
state's colleges also have contri­buted
to reducing the number of
teacher graduates.
Blackburn said enrollment in the
AU School of Education college, one
of the largest in the state with 1,908
Blackburn
students, is down 35 percent from
five years ago.
Even in areas such as liberal arts
where the demand isn't as great,
shortages are developing because of
the misconception that there is an
oversupply of teachers, he said.
For instance, enrollment in the
English education program at AU
has dropped 50 to 75 percent in the
last five years, he said.
"The enrollment trend as we see it
indicates that if these declines con­t
i n u e there will be serious
shortages."
The starting salaries for public
school teachers in Alabama range
from $13,000 to $16,000, depending
on local supplemental funding. He
said more attractive salaries in
industry have milked schools of
many of their best math and science
teachers.
Because of the teacher shortage in
scientific disciplines, he said many
schools are using "an emergency
certification" approach.
In this way teachers who hold
degrees in liberal arts are given
temporary certificates to teach
math and science although they
have a limited background in those
areas.
He said from July 1981 to June
1982 there were 160 vacancies in the
state's schools for math teachers. Of
this number, 135 were filled by qual­ified
people and 25 were filled with
people unqualified to teach math.
During that period, the state's col­leges
graduated 76 math education
majors, he said.
Blackburn said the state's educa­tional
leaders must meet with career
educators to analyze problems and
share information.
"We have many groups concerned
about education in Alabama. The
problem is, they don't talk to each
other," he said.
Blackburn said state and local
boards of education consist primar­ily
of elected laymen, and it is
important for career educators to be
able to discuss their professional
needs with those who set educa­tional
policy.
The ultimate goals, Blackburn
said, are to improve salaries and
curb the potential shortage of
teachers, improve teacher education
in the state's universities and
increase public understanding and
support for education.
"There is a close connection
between the quality of education
and the economy," he said.

TIPS ON BUYING AND SELLING TEXTBOOKS THAT
COULD SAVE YOU $ $ $
Today's emphasis is on getting the most out of the shrinking dollar. The follow­ing
facts and suggestions are intended to inform the students and help them
understand book buying and selling. Our main goal is to serve the needs of the
campus community.
NEW BOOKS
New textbooks-are bought from publishers (who establish the retail price) at
a small discount from the retail price. The University Bookstore must pay the
freight or postage charges, usually about 6 %, for the books to be shipped to the
store. If the course is dropped or the professor does not use the book, the Univer­sity
Bookstore must pay the freight charges, another 6%, to return these books
to the publisher. From the remainder of the discount, the University Bookstore
must pay its overhead expenses.
USED BOOKS
Used books are bought from companies who specialize in handling used
books and from students. The University Bookstore buys books from students at
5 0% of the NEW BOOK price, if the book will be used during the coming
quarter, if we do not have sufficient quantities for anticipated enrollment, and
if it is the current edition. We also buy books for wholesale companies if they are
discontinued. The company sets the prices we may pay for them.
So that you will obtain the most money for your books, the University Book­store
offers the following suggestions:
Never rely on other students to tell you what books are required. The best source
is the instructor and the second is the textbook lists furnished the bookstore by
the department.
Attend your first class meeting before buying your book. Refunds will be made
only if you drop the course and have course drop slip and cash register receipt for
the book.
Take care of your books. Missing pages, or water soaked pages made a book
worthless. Crib notes do not affect the price.
Do not write or make any marks in the new books until you are certain you will
complete the course. No refunds can be made without books in original condi­tion.
Sell your books as soon as you are convinced the book is no longer needed.
Never accept any price for a stack of books. Get a price for each book you sell.
Our buyers have been instructed to give you a price for each book.
We suggest you check other store prices and then the University Bookstore prices
before selling your books.
Never attempt to sell a stolen book. This sounds trite . . . .we do not
recommend stealing, property for any reason . . . .but here are the facts.
Occasionally a student will steal a book and attempt to sell it. The bookstores
maintain open communication between themselves, with the students, the
University Police and school officials. A list of stolen titles is kept at the book
buying counters in each store. The risks far outweigh the small monetary gain.
Is it really worth it?
If your books are stolen, notify each bookstore giving your name and the author
and title of the book immediately. We will do our best to help you locate your
books.
Buy used books when possible.
Example: New Textbook sells for $10.00 We soil used book for $7.50
We buy used book for $5.00 We will buy back for $5.00
This means you have used the book for $2.50 or 2 5% of the new book price.

Refinery tapping Uncle Sam's oil
AUTO MANIA—As the sun goes down it casts a
unique insight into the busy parking lot behind
Haley Center. A student working after hours
makes his way through the maze of cars before
him. The student ends the day as well as the quar­ter
and gets ready to head out for a week of
relaxation.

Auburn's oil re-refining plant has
tapped a new source of oil, thanks to
assist from Congressman Bill
Nichols. The General Services
Administration has made the pilot
plant operated by the chemical engi­neering
department at Auburn Uni­versity
eligible under the GSA's
Donation Program to receive used
lubricating oil from U.S. Govern­ment
installations in this area.
With initial funding from the
Alabama Department of Energy
and equipment donations from a
number of companies, the Auburn
p l a n t began operations last
summer. The plant recycles used
lubricating oil by removing metallic
impurities and water to produce an
environmentally-acceptable fuel oil.
Currently the fuel is sold to the
university heating plant and to the
Alabama Highway Department.
The re-refining plant, located on the
southwestern part of the campus
near the Woodburning Laboratory,
produces about 7,000 gallons of No.
5 fuel oil per week, according to
Raman Sachhathep, a graduate
student whose master's thesis is
based on the process used at the
pilot plant.
"The GSA action is a real boost to
our program," said Dr. Ray Tarrer
of the chemical engineering
department who is directing the oil
re-refining project. "Being able to
secure relatively large amounts of
oil from government installations
and contractors insures a steady
supply and cuts our collection
costs," he explained.
Used oil already has been
obtained from Ft. Benning, Eglin
Air Force Base and Hayes Interna­tional.
Other potential sources
include Maxwell Air Force Base,
Anniston Army Depot, and the
Naval Air Station at Pensacola.
Approximately 12 students are
employed each quarter to operate
the pilot plant. While they do not
earn course credit, they do gain
industrial-type experience to help
bridge the gap between classroom
and engineering practice. Nichols
said he regarded this opportunity
for student to gain "hands-on"
experience as "a real plus" for the
program.
"In addition," said Nichols, "they
and the chemical engineering
faculty can perform reseach that
may result in extending the use of
what has been waste oil, thus help­ing
to reduce our energy costs and
dependence on foreign sources.
After learning of the educational
and research opportunities the pro­ject
is offering, I enthusiastically
supported the application to the
General Services Adminstration
and am pleased to have played a
small role in its approval."
Tarrer said the plant last month
processed 22,000 gallons of waste
oil, moving towards its 30,000-
gallon capacity. For each gallon of
waste oil received, the plant can
extract about nine-tenths of a gallon
of re-refined oil. Future goals of the
program include re-refining the oil
to a quality permitting its use as a
lubricant.
Offices
student I started picking up things
that looked interesting, only to find
that they were all out of context
when taken out of their exotic
locations. I've thrown a lot of stuff
out because I've gotten tired of
carrying it around. The things I
keep have a sentimental value and
when I stumble over them, I just
tack them up on a wall," says
Womochel.
A tapa bark hangs on Womochel's
wall above his desk, but it hasn't
always been there. "I kept it (tapa
bark) in the trunk until I needed the
trunk for something else. So I put it
up on the wall in my office," he says.
Womochel acquired the tapa bark
in Pango Pango when the plane he
was on heading toward Antartica
had to make a forced landing there.
"I wandered around in sweltering
heat and high humidity for several
days picking up odds and ends. I
understand now that tapa barks are
quite rare," says Womochel.
Next to the tapa bark hangs a 100-
year-old turkey tail. It was given to
Womochel by one of his former
professors from Texas. "The turkey
tail was collected in a place where I
used to cowboy way down in south
Texas along the Pecos and Rio
Vet School
Continued from A-l
faculty for the mission of the
school."
To correct this problem, a plan to
reduce class sizes was approved by
the Board of Trustees under the
Funderburk administration. Effec­tive
this September, the number of
students allowed to enter the veteri­nary
program will be reduced from
115 to 90.
An attempt has also been made to
add new faculty positions to the Vet
school.Vaughan says he has sub­mitted
a number of requests but
admits that because money prob­lems
all over the Auburn campus,
the Vet School like all other schools,
can't get all it would like.
He noted however that while not
many new positions have been
added, vacant positions are being
filled up.
"We have be.en playing catch-up
ball as late as this winter. As it
stands right now, all faculty posi­tions
are either filled or committed.
We are in the best shape we've been
in, as far as faculty-student ratio, in
ten years."
The Vet school was also criticized
for inadequate state support of the
teaching hospitals and the research
function of the school.
Grande rivers," he says.
Another thing a student wouldn't
expect to find in a geology
professor's office is tack. Womochel
keeps his riding gear in his office
because he says his wife insists that
the living room is no place for
saddles and the such. "I don't want
my tack getting rusty in the barn so
I put it in here," says Womochel.
Womochel has a plesiosaurs
vertebre from Alabama. "They were
big marine reptiles with long necks
that swam in the ocean when the
ocean was up around Auburn," says
Womochel.
From his Alaskan trips, Womochel
has picked up several Eskimo
artifacts over 100 years old ranging
from ivory net weights to hide
scrapers to bolos used for killing
ducks, he says.
The eskimo boots on his wall were
made by an old hunting partner of
his in Point Barrow, Alaska. The
boots are made out of karibo and
bearded seal, says Womochel.
Womochel has a carved plaque of
Tiki, a Polynesian god, next to his
rodeo pictures. Tiki's eyes glow
because they are made out of
abalone shell, says Womochel. "It's
rather grotesque," he says.
There's an 'oryx horn that
Womochel picked up in East Africa.
Most students who have had
Womochel for a class have seen this
horn since he uses it as a pointer
when he shows slides.
An old U.S. Calvary canteen from
the Spanish-American War sits on
his bookshelf. The canteen was
given to Womochel by an old
cowboy, he says.
The chair that a student is likely
to sit on in Womchel's office is over
100 years old. "The chairs are from
an old building in Fort Worth, Texas
that was used as a saloon in the
1860s and 1870s. A lot of cowboys
from the old school have probably
sat in those chairs and played cards
and drank many a drink," says
Womochel.
"I like to keep things in my office
because sometimes when students
come to visit they're a little shy
about coming in, but when they
come in and see strange things all
around they'll ask me questions
about them. It's a way of breaking
the ice and establishing a rapport
with them," ways Womochel.
English professor Oxford Stroud
says his office "grew out of the
origin of neglect."
"My own children are the ones
who find objects and artifacts and
say, 'Daddy, you need this in your
office,'" he says.
Two plants grow across the
expansion of his office which have
been there since Haley Center was
built. Campbell Soup cans line the
shelves above his books of medieval
English and various literary works.
The soup, he says, is kept there
because his son often eats lunch
with him.
Situated in the room is a knight in
armor. Dubbed "Sir Lancelot" by
Stroud, the knight was acquired in
retaliation against his wife. Stroud
says his wife spent $60 on a pair of
shoes which he thought she did not
need. So, he found Sir Lancelot at a
Continued from A-3
flea market and bought him. He
placed the knight in the front room
and told his wife he paid $250 for it
because he "needed it." When his
wife countered by saying she would
purchase something else expensive,
he says he quickly informed her he
paid only $15 for the knight.
Stroud describes his office as
"cluttered and chaotic and without
end." A cowshead and bones are in
one corner of the room—finds by his
son who is a geologist. A hornet's
nest hangs in the corner and a snake
skin is on the wall behind Stroud's
desk.
"Sometimes I wonder what the
maid and janitor think when they
come up," he says.
But having an unusual office
often helps him attract students to
his office.
"I think you can't always get
students to come talk about
academic things, but they all want
to come see Stroud's office," he says.

Political advisors giving up posts
By Patricia Vick
Assistant News Editor
When someone mentions Au-..
burn's History Department, most
students picture that required
freshman history class they took
with 250 other students, or the sev­enth
floor of Haley Center or even
Gordon Bond. But more politically
active Auburn students think of Dr.
Joseph Kicklighter or Dr. Ed William­son,
recent advisers to the College
Republicans and the Young
Democrats.
Kicklighter and Williamson, just
three doors down from each other on-the
seventh floor, are both ending
their time with the two political
groups.
Kicklighter recently resigned as
adviser to the College Republicans
because of his involvement with
other campus activities such as
Lambda Sigma, Talons and Mortar
Board honor societies.
Williamson will step down as
adviser to the Young Democrats
spring quarter because of his
retirement.
Both professors said they had
enjoyed working with the groups
and they remembered some of the
more interesting activities of the
political organizations.
Williamson, adviser to the Young
Democrats since 1964, recalled a
debate braodcast over WEGL
between the two parties back in the
sixties with no issue actually being
debated, just mostly "rhetoric"
being tossed around.
"It was hilarious," Williamson
said. "Both sides made very grand­iose
statements and debated off the
top of their heads."
Kicklighter remembered fondly a
motorcade to Plains, Ga., home of
Democratic nominee Jimmy Carter,
during the 1980 presidential cam­paign.
"We had a rally for Reagan
outside Plains High School."
Not all College Republican acti-vites
are held during campaigns,
though, he said.
"Between elections the College
Republicans try to get involved in
issues — like the Iranian crisis."
During the crisis, the group made a
dummy resembling the Ayatollah
dential elections are coming up.
Similar gearing-up plans are in
the works for the College Republi­cans,
said Claire Austin, secretary-treasurer
for the group.
The group's main activity this
quarter was attending the Alabama
Khomenei and students paid to
throw a ball at it.
Since both groups are between
elections, they are "relatively dor­mant,"
now, Williamson said.
According to Jeff Jones, chair­man
of the Young Democrats, the
group is just trying to get its. "act
together." Jones, son of yet another
Auburn history professor Allen W.
Jones, said "Next quarter we'll lay
down what we stand for."
Fall plans include a membership
drive and challenges to President
Ronald Reagan's foreign and eco­nomic
policies, since the 1984 presi-
College Republican federation Con­vention,
Feb. 26 and 27, where
Auburn student Bruce Petway was
elected state College Republicans
vice-chairman;
The next big project we'll start
working on is the U.S. senator's
race," Austin said.
Several people have been men­tioned
as possible Republican
nominees to run against incumbent
U.S. Senator Howell Heflin, said
John Davis, College Republicans
chairman.
Candidates include businessman
Clint Wilkins and rumor holds that
Montgomery Mayor Emory Folmar
might possibly run.
Members of both groups agreed
that Republicans are more active on
campus and have more support
than do the Democrats.
"The social and economic back­grounds
of students tends to be more
responsive to the Republican mes­sage,"
Kicklighter said. However,
Williamson called the Democrats
more practical and more interested
in reform.
Williamson cited the conservative
nature of Auburn students and
faculty, as the reason for strong
Republican support, saying that
they were "not liberal by any stretch
of the imagination."
In fact, Auburn is so conservative
that Williamson said the New York
Times listed the Young Democrats
as the most radical organization on
campus.
Membership figures also point to
a more active Republican group,
with 27 active Republican members
this quarter and 20 official Demo­cratic
members on role. Member­ship,
both advisers said, fluctuates
depending on what campaign the
groups are involved in.
Whatever rivalry that exists
between the two group advisers is a
friendly one. "I think it's, very
important to respect other points of
view," Williamson said.
Kicklighter agreed and said, "We
(he and Williamson) have been very
good friends ever since I've been at
Auburn, even though our political
differences are total."
Soon, both groups will be getting
new advisers and Kicklighter and
Williamson will be moving into dif­ferent
areas. New advisers have not
been chosen yet and will not be
selected until the groups embark on
future activities. Maybe the friendly
rivalry that exists in the History
Department will end for the time
being. But don't count on it. History
has a way of repeating itself.

Students selling blood to supplement checkbooks
By Keith Ayers
News Editor , i
While some people say they would
give their heart and soul to go to
college, some students at Auburn
University are doing the next best
thing—giving their blood.
Each week about 75 students visit
Auburn Biologicals, a branch of Bio-
Lab Inc. of Birmingham, to sell their
plasma or whole blood. The
company sells it to hospitals and
drug companies for use in treating
p a t i e n t s , research and drug
manufacture.
Deborah Ingram, a registered
nurse, directs the clinic on East
Glenn, about a mile from the
Auburn campus. She said Auburn
Biologicals has two donor programs
which can net a student up to $40 a
week.
In one program, the student
donates plasma, the liquid part of
blood, tw
