Faculty asks Funderburk to resign
By John Peck
Assistant News Editor
By a lopsided margin, the general
faculty at Auburn University de­feated
a motion Tuesday expressing
confidence in President Hanly
Funderburk.
As a result of Tuesday's vote, the
faculty is asking Funderburk to
resign.
Meanwhile, the office of Univer­sity
Relations said a statement
issued earlier by the president was
stillbinding. "Iserveatthe pleasure
of the Board of Trustees," Funder­burk
said last week after learning
that the University Senate had sche­duled
a confidence vote.' 'I intend to
continue fulfilling the responsibili­ties
of this position with the board's
support."
By a 752-253 margin, with 38
abstentions, Funderburk lost his
second vote of confidence in less
than a year, placing his job once
again at the mercy of the Board of
Trustees.
The board will convene Friday to
consider whether to pledge its
support or request Funderburk's
resignation.
A similar vote of confidence was
defeated in February with only 48
percent of the faculty expressing.
confidence in Funderburk's leader­ship.
Tuesday seventy-five percent
indicated they had no confidence in
the president.
Despite February's rejected
motion, the trustees chose to back
the president. Only one trustee on
the 12 member board, Bob Harris of
Decatur, voted against Funder­burk.
The vote comes at the heels of a
highly critical University Senate
report blaming Funderburk for the
present "state of unrest" at the
university and for the May resigna­tions
of vice-presidents Taylor Lit­tleton
and Grady Cox.
Among other things, the senate
report condemns Funderburk for
policies which, it claims, "consoli­dated
administrative power into the
hands of those loyal to the president
rather than those loyal to a shared
vision of academic excellence at
Auburn."
In response to those allegations,
Funderburk said he had wished the
resignations of the two vice presi­dents
could have been handled
differently. "Cox and Littleton
chose the accusatory route. You now
have the facts and it is time to put
this matter to rest by announcing to
Wallace elected
for fourth term
By Lynne Hopkins and
Ned Sweeney
Plainsman Staffwriters
In his historic fourth bid, George
C. Wallace reclaimed the governor­ship
of Alabama in a landslide
victory Tuesday.
The returns and the crowd at
Wallace headquarters indicated
from the start that Wallace would be
the undebatable victor in the guber­natorial
race.
Wallace's fourth term as gov­ernor
is a first in Alabama history.
By the time the polls closed, all
three of the major television net­works
had predicted Wallace as the
winner of the Alabama race.
Wtih 97 percent of the votes
counted, Wallace regained the
governor's office with 628,776 votes
to Folmar's 426,474. .
In Lee County, Wallace received
7,411 votes while Folmar carried
with 9,157. There were several
write-in votes including 10 for
George McMillan and one for AU
trustee Bob Harris.
In a Plainsman interview, CBS
News correspondent Bruce Hall
said, "According to a CBS poll,
Wallace carried about 87 percent of
the Alabama black vote.
"Blacks in Alabama want some­one
like Wallace to come to them
asking forgiveness because they
like to forgive," Hall said. "Times
have changed and blacks are ready
to elect George Wallace.
' 'Wallace succeeded so one-sided­ly
because he presented a wide
political platform while Emory
Folmar had a strict narrow view,"
Hall said.
Douglas Kiker, a 16 year veteran
of NBC News said "No one else in
Alabama could have drawn the
national attention to a political race
like George Wallace.
"Wallace is a political pheno­menon.
He only ran for governor
because he was bored. George
Wallace has always been the gover­nor
of Alabama and always will be.
The same people who voted for
Wallace in the 60s, voted for him
today but for different reasons,"
Kiker said.
' 'Wallace sees the issue and uses it
on his behalf. I asked to cover and
have followed Wallace during his '68
and '72 campaigns because they are
fun, especially if he wins," said
Kiker.
"It is probably the first time in
political history that a coalition
formed by blacks and white blue-collar
workers will have success­fully
carried a political candidate to
victory without the aid of business­men
and bankers," Kiker said.
"While everyone is interested in
Wallace's historic comeback, the
race doesn't have much nationwide
significance," Kiker added.
Tom Lippman of the Washington
Post said, "The last thing the
bankers and businessmen of Ala­bama
wanted was Wallace's gun-toting,
segregationist image back in
the governor's seat."
Lippman did express the signifi­cance
of the race, saying "Without
Wallace Alabama wouldn't have all
this public attention focused on the
governor's race. "
Lippman said he thought it was
foolish that Wallace was running his
campaign on the promise that he
would bring international heads-of-state
to Alabama to promote in­dustry
and bring jobs to Alaba-mians.
Tuskegee Assistant Police Chief
John R. Meadows, said that he

Folmar down, not out om Palmer

"Obviously some people wanted
me to remain mayor,'' said republi-cian
candiate Mayor Emory
Folmar after he conceded in the
gubernatorial race against former
governor George Wallace.
With watchful eyes, a packed
room of Folmar supporters listened
as their candidate admitted his
defeat Tuesday night.
But Folmar did not throw in the
towel entirely, he announced his
intention to run for mayor of
Montgomery the next day. Some
supporters also predict he may
campaign for governor again in
1986, although he said that is too far
away to tell.
Pledging to help Gov. Wallace,
Folmar urged his supporters not to
be poor losers. "I despise a sore
loser more than anything. We did the
best we could," Folmar said.
He complimented Wallace on
running a clean, good race, "a
winning race that's all that counts.''
While speaking about his defeat,
Folmar never showed his disap­pointment,
and smiled when he said,
"Itdoesn'tfeel good to lose, butshow
me a good loser, and I'll show you a
consistant one."
At 6:10 p.m. NBC predicted a
Wallace victory. At the time,
campaign manager Tom Coker said
he didn't know how a network could
predict a victory with selective
polls, when two-thirds of the polls
were not closed. "We're gettingalot
of reckless use in polls," he added.
During the evening, Folmar was
frequently available for comments
concerning the election returns. He
appeared at 7:30 p.m. telling sup­porters,
"I'm not letting NBC's
prediction get me down. I'm having
fun—win, lose or draw."
Some Folmar supporters paced
between two banquet rooms at the
Governor's House Motel, keeping
tabs on the latest election returns.
Others clustered around the four
television sets set up in the corners
of one room waiting anxiously for

the public whatever position you
(the board) deem appropriate."
The president's response disputes
claims by the former vice presi­dents
thathe (Funderburk) failed to
contact them on important decision­making
matters. Included in the
report are copies of memos to the
vice presidents showing he report­edly
did attempt to contact them
before making major decisions.
But critics of the Funderburk
report were more vocal at the
general faculty meeting than those
who argued that the senate report
was full of "errors, innuendoes and
inaccuracies." One faculty mem­ber,
responding to a charge that the
senate report was biased, said the
president's report included about
"65 pages of redundancies."
Curt Peterson, chairman of the
senate committee of the whole, said
the president's report is "less
weighty than it appears" because it
"excludes the main issues," fails to
mention remarks made to last
year's faculty evaluation of the
president and does not include data
on the library or Information on the

Four trustees pledge
to support president
By Jeffrey Mason
Plainsman Staffwriter
Four of Auburn's 12 trustees said
before Tuesday night's vote of
no-confidence in Dr. Hanly Funder­burk
that they would continue to
support the Auburn president.
Following the vote in which 75
percent of the faculty said they have
no confidence in the president, a
proposal will be presented to the
trustee's tomorrow asking for Fun­derburk's
resignation.
In phone interviews prior to the
vote, four trustees indicated they
would support Funderburk regard­less
of the faculty vote. One trustee
supported the faculty, while three
others would not comment on the
situation. The remaining four mem­bers
could not be reached for
comment.
Trustee Charles M. Smith i n of
Montgomery said as long as the
university was operating within its
budget, he couldn'thelp but approve
of Funderburk. "I don't think the
faculty should be getting into some­thing
like this." Smith said.
Trustee-Comgressman Bill Nic­hols
of Sylacauga said he could
see no "substantial objections" to
Funderburk's performance.
R.C. Bamberg of Uniontown and
John W. Pace n j of Mobile said they
too would stand behind Funderburk.
When asked about Funderburk's
performance, Pace said, "I would
rather not comment on that per­sonally."
Robert H. Harris of Decatur
indicated to the Plainsman last
week that he would support the
wishes of the faculty in the upcom­ing
confidence vote.' 'The faculty is
the group with the best vantage
point for deciding if Dr. Funderburk
is doing a good job," he said.
Frank P. Samford Jr. of Birming­ham
said he was not prepared to
comment on his position toward
Funderburk.
"Whatever action the board may
take depends on discussion and
other factors, not on the vote of the
faculty," he said. Samford said he
"wouldn't judge" Funderburk's
performance as president.
For related stories, see B-l. See
FUNDERBURK REPORT, B-4.
Governor Fob James, Chairman
of the Board of Trustees, "wouldnot
have any comment on the matter,"
said his press secretary, Windy
Lea veil.
Two other trustees, Morris W.
Savage of Jasper and Dr. Wayne
Teague, state superintendant of
education, would not comment on
the confidence vote or whether they
would back Funderburk.
John V. Denson of Opelika,
Michael B. McCartney of Gadsden
and Henry B. Steagall II of Ozark
could not be reached for comment.
President not quitting
By Keith Ayers
News Editor
In the wake of an overwhelming
vote of no-confidence in Auburn
• President Hanly Funderburk,
Faculty Senate President Gordon
Bond met with the president yester­day
and presented him with the
faculty resolution calling for his
resignation.
"I met with Dr. Funderburk
yesterday, and he said he would not
resign. He said he is doing what he
feels is in the best interest of Auburn
University," Bond said.
Funderburk's statements came
only a day after the faculty voted 752
to 253 that it had no confidence in him
as president.
"I have sent mailgrams to the
Board of Trustees asking them
to...ask the president to resign,"
said Bond, who will take the
faculty's request for Funderburk's Auburn nuclear research center tests it all
resignation before the board tomor­row
in its regular meeting.
A resolution passed by the general
faculty Tuesday night following the
no-confidence vote calls for the
trustees to ask for the president's
resignation since he has decided not
to resign voluntarily.
Funderburk has made no public
statement .since the vote, but has
told University1 Relations Director
Dan Holsenbeck to tell reporters
that his comments of a week ago still
stand.
"I serve at the pleasure of the
Board of Trustees... and I will
continue to serve with their sup­port,"
Funderburk said earlier.
Tuesday's vote was the second
Funderburk has failed in his 30
months at Auburn. The earlier one,
taken in February, ended in a 455-416
defeat.
Still, the trustees met shortly
afterward and pledged their con­fidence
in Funderburk by a 11 to 1
margin. The trustees will meet
tomorrow and are expected to take a
similar confidence measure.

A small nondescript building lies
behind Parker Hall on Samford
Drive. Within its walls a very
powerful instrument for pure and
applied science resides. The
building is the Leach Nuclear
Science Center and the instrument
is a particle accelerator.
Dr. William Alford was on hand
for the accelerator's installation
during the years of 1967-1969. It was
he, along with several other phy­sicists,
who did the original experi­ments
and testings.
Alford's work now deals mainly
with graduate students working
toward masters or doctorate de­grees
in nuclear fields. His own
research is of a highly technical
nature involving research on cross-sections
for nuclear induced re­actions.
Another physicist who does basic
research at the NSC is Dr. Casper
Daneshvar. While his work with the
particle accelerator is easily as
technical as Dr. Alford's, his end
results are often easier to under-

' 'I recently tested a Tylenol tablet
for cyanide," says Daneshvar,
adding there was no poison in that
sample.
Dr. William Mason is involved
with another aspect of the NSC. He
does no work with the particle
accelerator, but works directly with
radioactive isotopes. ,
"I work strictly with arthropods
(arachnids, crustaceans and in­sects),"
says Mason. "Using
Zinc-65, we attempt to indirectly
measure energy requirements on
the basis of how rapidly an animal
uses up its zinc. We similarly use
Iron-55 to estimate the reproductive
rate of female animals."
The amount of radioactive
material used by Mason is almost
too small to measure. A single beetle
may ingest only a tenth of a
microcurie of Zinc-65. Another way
of imagining this small of an amount
of zinc would be to think of dividing a
grain of salt up a million ways and
giving one part to the beetle, Mason
says.
This incredibly small amount of
isotopes can be accurately moni­tored
and traced and provides an
important tool in Mason's research
program.
"The workers in our lab," says
Mason, "receive so little radiation
that the monitors we wear usually
indicate no exposure at all."
FredMoore, Director of the Office
of Safety and Environmental Health
agrees with Mason. Moore, a
nuclear safety officer, says the
amountof radiation exposure is low.
' 'The average amountof exposure
to radiation in a year's time for the
person who does not work with
radioactive materials is about 100-
150 millirem from normal cosmic
rays and rocks," he says. "Those
who work here at the NSC may
receive as much as another 150
millirems of radiation a year."
Moore says several other ex­amples
of the low levels of radiation
received in the NSC exist. "Those
people who fly one time from New
York to Europe on a Concorde jet
will receive more radiation on that
night than the people at the NSC win
receive during a year of experimen-

WASHINGTON-Italian Prime
Minister Giovanni Spadolini
visited Washington Wednesday
to discuss strained relations
between the United States and
Italy, concerning the Soviet pipe­line
sanctions.
Before leaving Rome on Fri­day,
Spadolini said he would
discuss with President Reagan
the sanctions imposed on Euro­pean
firms that supplied high
technology equipment to the
Soviet Union for construction of a
3,500-mile natural gas pipeline.
Reagan banned transfers of
U.S. technology and equipmentto
the Soviets in retaliation for
Moscow's support for military
repressions in Poland.
Despite the discussions, an
administrative official said US-Italian
relations are probably
stronger today than they have
been during the post-war period.

Dorm fire case 'still open,'
chief asks for state review
By Keith Ayers
News Editor
The Chief of University Police at
Auburn said Monday that the state
fire marshall's office has joined in
the investigation of a dorm fire a
month ago here that investigators
think was set by an arsonist.
Chief Jack Walton said the state
office will review the evidence the
university police have collected In
hopes of setting a "definite course of
action" in the case by Monday.
Walton would not elaborate on
what that course of action might be,
but did not rule out the possibility of
an arrest in the near future.
"This case is definitely still
open," Walton said Monday-
At2:06a.m. on Oct. 6, city firemen
were called to Dorm 5, a 98-girl
residence hall in the center of the AU
campus where they found three
small fires burning in the building.
The fires had been set in three
separate closets on two floors,
initially leading investigators to
believe arson was the cause. All of
the girls sleeping in the building
were immediately evacuated and
firemen extinguished the flames.
Although there were no injuries,
some of the residents were treated
for minor smoke inhalation. None
were hospitalized.
Later, the state crime laboratory
determined that the fires had been
intentionally set, and each girl
living in the dorm has been inter­viewed
since. Walton says the fires
wereprobably setbysomeone living
in the dorm, but he wouldn't
speculate on a motive.

Government officials have
covered up the dangers of nuclear
power since its discovery, said Karl
Grossman, an award-winning jour­nalist,
in his presentation Monday
night at Auburn University.
Grossman, who wrote a book on
the nuclear cover-up, said,
"Government public relations have
tried to deceive the public" on
nuclear power issues. "It's a politi­cal
deal to perpetuate the nuclear
establishment," he said.
During and after World War II,
government researchers and
scientists had invested too much
time and money in nuclear pro- *
grams to let them go to waste, he
explained. However, he said,
atomic energy is unnecessary.
"We have solar energy, hydro­electric,
wind, steam and the list
goes on. The appropriate mix could
work everywhere in the country,"
he said, stressing that nuclear
power is limited as a source of
energy anyway.
He said on the basis of his
research, he believes a nuclear
accident is inevitable. "It will
happen soon and it will be a
catastrophy."
If the worst type of nuclear
accidentoccured, it would kill about
100 thousand people in 60 days and
leave an area the size of Pennsyl­vania
useless for centuries, he told
his audience.
A nuclear runaway is the worst
kind of accident that can happen at a
nuclear plant. It occurs when one of
the reactor control rods malfunction
and the reactor explodes, he
explained.
The difference in the runaway and
a nuclear meltdown, he said, is
during the meltdown people have
about half an hour to escape the
lethal doses of radioactivity. A
runaway, however, occurs instant­ly,
he said.
Nuclear fall-out shelters have
been established in case of a
meltdown, Grossman said, but the
government refuses to recognize the
SGA nixes

In a special meeting Tuesday
night, the SGA voted to remove a
referendum from today's home­coming
ballot allowing students to
vote whether they have confidence
in the administraton of Dr. Hanly
Funderburk.
In addition, the SGA voted not to
have a confidence vote of its own, but
an adhoc committee was set up to
investigate the continuing contro­versy
at. Auburn.
Originally, the SGA had planned
to let the students decide today
whether they had confidence in
Funderburk. However, after much
debate Tuesday, they decided to
strike the referendum from the

possibility of a nuclear runaway.
He showed slides of government
documents which he said were
unavailable until the passage of the
freedon of Information Act in 1966.
He pointed out the government's
admission in one document that
nuclear damage possibilities were
50 to 100 percent greater than
suspected. Break-downs are Inevit­able,
he said. "No system is
fool-proof."
He said much of the public does not
understand nuclear power so, he
explained, when an atom is broken,
poisonious versions of stable
elements are produced.
Plutonium, one of the products, is
so deadly, that a pound of it, evenly
distributed, could kill 9 billion
people. Some of the dangerous
elements stay active for as long as
250 thousand years, he added.
When asked what action should be
taken, Grossman advised forms of
protest that would have economic,
political and social effects.

Radiation
jtation," he says.
Alabama, unlike some other
states, chose not to have the Federal
Nuclear Regulatory Commission
directly monitor the use of radiation
on the state. Instead, the Division of
Radiological Health set up its own
regulations which were then sub­mitted
to and approved by the NRC,
so that Alabama might have direct
control over its nuclear material.
The DRH produces a manual
called "Radiation Control in Ala­bama"
subtitled "Alabama Regu­lations
for Control of Radiation."
It is Moore's job to know these
regulations and see that they are
followed. The regulations cover
everything from how a person may
be licensed to buy radioactive
materials to where and how to
dispose of them.
"It is the state that originally
Wallace
licenses Auburn University," says
Moore. "Auburn then provides a
license to those individuals who
need radioactive materials for their
research."
Only those with an Auburn license
may purchase nuclear materials for
use at Auburn. The materials are
sent to the University through the
United States post office from
various suppliers around the
country.
Everyone who enters an area of
the NSC that might contain radio­active
material is required to wear a
small device called a film badge.
The badge carries a bit of photo­graphic
film and is sensitive to
radioactivity instead of light rays.
These badges have to be checked
quarterly to determine the amount
of exposure a person has received.
"Our experimenters have never
had an over-exposure," says Moore,
' 'and our visitors don't even receive
a detectable amount."
Alabama law allows certain small
amounts of radioactive material to
•be disposed of on the site although
this depends on the nature of the
material and its half-life.
"There are four ways Alabama
law allows us to deal with radio­active
material on site," says the
safety director. "Those materials
with a short half-life are allowed to
decay and are then disposed of
accordingly. Other types may be
burned in high intensity fires to
decompose them further. Still two
other methods open to us are
high-volume dilution for disposal
through the sewer system and
burial."
' 'If ayear's worth of the materials
that we now dilute and run through
Co: ntinued from A-l
the sewer system and those that are
buried were instead collected and
put in a box and kept in one's office,
the resultant exposure to radiation
over a year's time would be equi­valent
to about 30 millirems, or
about a third of a chest X-Ray,"
Moore says.
"The Nuclear Science Center is
funded almost entirely by Auburn
University," says Dr. John Cooper,
director of the NSC.' 'We do receive
some funds from research projects
done here and in the past we have
received; funding from the National
Science/Fund."
The laboratories of the NSC are
used primarily for basic research,
which is done for the advancement
of science as a whole. Daneshvar
likens the research done at the
center to the ocean.

supported Wallace because of his
stands on law enforcement and
because Wallace believes in Ala­bama.
Edward Hollon, 69, of Prattville,
remarked that Wallace is the only
man fit for the job of governor.' 'We
need him. He did a great job before
and he'll do a great job this time."
Hollon, a retired state Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board worker,
said that people have to learn how to
forgive someone who does some­thing
they do not see as right.
' 'He made it right. People have to
learn how to forgive someone who
does something they do not see as
right.
' 'He made itright. Peoplehave got
to forgive," Hollon said.
Elmore County District Attorney
Glen Curbee said, "Wallace will
make good on all of his campaign
promises but he can't do it over­night."
'' Auburn eats elephants there and
we're eating elephants here to­night,"
Schuffert joked.
Claude McClearan, 60, account­ant
for the state parks system said
Wallace has the necessary vision to
bring a revival to Alabama.
McClearan said "Wallace Is older
but he doesn't have to degenerate in
his vision - a people without a vision
perish."
McClearan who expresses his
support at each Wallace rally by
doing his rooster crowing imitation
said he is symbolizing the dawning
of a new day for Alabama.
The first member of the
immediate Wallace family to give a
victory speech in behalf of George
Wallace was George Wallace J r .
"I would like to express my thanks
for the way you have honored our
family again. If I could live 10
lifetimes I couldn't repay you for
what you have done," Wallace said.
' 'My father loves Alabama. He put
his life before Alabama and did
sacrifice his physical well-being.
"Our door is always open to me
people of Alabama, both black and
white," remarked Wallace.
George Jones, 04PL, Wallace
campaign manager for Auburn
University said, "This is a great
victory for the people of Alabama. It
has been our philosophy all along to
just let the people speak."
"I, on behalf of Governor Wallace,
ask you to join with us to work
together hand in hand for a better
Auburn University and a better
Alabama."
' 'The reason the campaign was so
successful was because the others
talked about George Wallace.
George Wallace spoke about the
issues," Jones asserted.
Jones said that every time Wal­lace
has run for governor, he has
failed to carry Lee County and he's
met considerable opposition at
Auburn University.
"Yet every time he has been
elected he has bent over backwards
and does everything he can to help
Lee County and Auburn University.
I can say without a doubt that
Auburn University will have a
friend in the governor's office for the
next four years," Jones remarked.
Wallace, apologizing for a sore
throat, cut his victory speech short
and postponed a press conference
scheduled.
Wallace promised to fulfill a
promise to organize a task force
comprised of people from different
occupations to discuss and imple­ment
ideas to make Alabama a more
efficient state.
"The solutions we arrive at will
Continued from A-l
benefit all the people of this state
whether they voted for me or not.
And that's OK because I'm the
governor of all Alabamlans," Wal­lace'exclaimed.
"I want to thank the Lord for
letting me serve the people of
Alabama once more," Wallace
declared.
' JL'm sorry Ilostmy voice because
I could really make a speech
tonight, but I want to ask each one of
you to stand up for Alabama," the
veteran politician urged.

some good news, but it never came.
Campaign workers had hoped for
a light voter turnout, but the warm,
sunny day brought many Alabama
voters to the polls.
Rod Hastie, one of the Auburn
student campaign coordinators,
said,' 'I was hoping for a less heavy
vote. I think we would have done
better with a lighter turnout."
The rural vote in Alabama also
affected Folmar's chances for
governor. "We didn't expect to do
well with the rural votes," David
Dubois, campaign worker, said.
Folmar agreed, saying he should
have carried counties better than he
did. Baldwin and Shelby counties
were especially disastrous to him.
He added, "I carried Madison
County, but not as heavy as I should
have."
Supporters were surprised with
Folmar's early concession at 9:30
p.m., but received their candidate
with cheers and applause. The room
echoed with the chanting of
Folmar's name and the phrase,
"we'll be back."
Folmar blamed the entire defeat
on himself but the crowd responded,
"No, no." When expressing thanks
to Coker, he said, "He did all the
right things, I must have done all the
wrong."
Folmar told his supporters they
did the best they could with what
they had to work with.' 'I love you,''
he said, and the crowd responded,
"We love you."
"I'll give you another chance to
love me in a few more months,"
Folmar said in reference to the
mayor's race. He promised he
would try to be the best mayor in the
world which was received with
cheers, clapping and chants, "You
are."
Despite his loss, Folmar said,
"Out of all of this, something good
will happen. I believe strongly we
did not do this in vain."
"We addressed the issues and
plowed a lot of new ground." He
added,' 'It'snotthe end of the world;
the sun will rise tomorrow."
Despite his overall loss, Folmar
carried the votes in Lee County and
Auburn overwhelmingly.
Claire Austin, 3 MC, treasurer of
the College Republicans at Auburn,
expressed no suprise with Folmar's
victory in Lee County. "I knew we'd
carry Lee County. The students and
Auburn are conservative," she said.
Jon Tate, 1 CE, said, "Folmar
showed no contempt for Wallace,
only concerns for the people of the
state. I hope they remember him
four years from now."
Continued from A-l
Jane Redding, 4 GSC, another
campus coordinator, was im­pressed
with Folmar's humble atti­tude.
In response to Folmar giving
support to Wallace, students ex­pressed
their opinions concerning
the newly elected governor.
Redding said she would support
Wallace if he could bring the state of
Alabama up from being poorly
ranked among the other states in
education, unemployment and in.
other areas.
Austin said she belie ves the people
behind Wallace will actually be
running the state.
"I think he will do symbolic
things, but nothing substantial,"
Hastie said.
"The source of all learning is the
knowledge of God, exalted
be His Glory."

Jet'* late f46out 'Diamond*...
If you plan to give a diamond this Christmas, nowis the time for you to Invest a little of your time
in learning a few basic facts regarding diamonds. Unless you have more money than time, you
can hardly afford the luxury of buying a diamond without an understanding of diamond grading
and pricing.
For THIRTY-THREE years Ware's Loose Diamond System has proven itself as an ideal
way to make one's diamond investment do its utmost to give the finest, most beautiful
diamond possible in a given price range.
How does it operate? We are Registered Jewelers of the American Gem Society. We not only
have all AGS equipment needed to accurately grade and weigh each diamond...our business
has been built on always giving the customer the time needed to assure they understand
what makes each diamond different...and why there are so many different prices, for the
same weight diamond. First you need a trained Jeweler, second you need a jeweler willing to
give you as much time as you will give him, so that you do properly understand how different
diamonds can be. We think we can qualify on both counts. We are trained...trained to
accurately)grade every diamond,..and it is our absolute policy to never have a customer that
will ever feel rushed in any way.
What about Ware's prices. Whenever we sell a diamond we give a certificate of
registration...giving each customer a guarantee as to color, perfection, cut and weight.
Totalling all: certificates for 1976 we found we had sold customers from 129 cities, in 21 states
a diamond in this one year. There were 37 from Birmingham, 19 from Montgomery, 11 from
Mobile and also 14 from Huntsville...do you think they would have purchased their diamond
from Ware's if they could have done better elsewhere?
What about the ring itself? Because the diamond represents the largest part of the total
investment...we think the selection of the diamond is most important. Once you have
selected a Ware's diamond (from over 400 in all sizes and grades)...then the mounting
selection is the most important. Why not select a diamond from a jeweler that can offer you
all the leading designs of mountings...not Just the basic few standard styles. Ware represents
the nation's leading style lines...Orange Blossom, Art Carved, Daina, Jabel, Advance. Ware
offers a Jewelry manufacturing department In both stores that is unequaled in
Alabama...designers, diamond setters, Jewelry manufacturers, hand engravers...all are on
Ware's staff. The entire "tailor made ring" can be done for you in either store...Uptown
Auburn or Village Mall...exactly as you "design" your own ring.
This is your invitation to talk to .the trained experts at Ware's It may be the best time
investment you ever make.

(Efie^uburnPlainsnraii
Tim Dorsey, Editor
Chris Karabinos, Business Manager
Volume 89 Number 6
The real issue now
The vote was 752 to 253 against
confidence. The Plainsman feels this many of
our faculty cannot be wrong.
There was the question of how representa­tive
the report committee or the University
Senate was being of the entire faculty. Now
there is no doubt.
With such a wide margin of displeasure it
seems the president cannot be effective in his
position. The vote alone is reason enough for a
graceful bowing-out.
But what we don't need now is viciousness.
The president has stated his intentions to serve
at the pleasure of the trustees, and he is not
going to resign because of the faculty vote. This
is his prerogative.
It is fruitless now to keep repeating the
accusations made of the president. Any
criticisms since the failed confidence vote will
be an afterstatement.
What we now must do is turn out attention
to the Board of Trustees. Or maybe that is
where the attention should have been all along.
The board has been a closed group operating
with little consideration for anyone else. It was
their presidential selection process that started
all of this and now it' s coming back up on them.
There's no sense in beating Funderburk to
death about this. He has pretty much said he's
waiting for the trustees decision. And we shall
wait too.
The trustees are caught in an interesting
position. They most probably will back
Funderburk; it would be a show of weakness to
bend to.the faculty.
And it doesn't look like the trustees are
willing to move whatsoever toward working
with the faculty. This is where the real problem
lies and this may be the* frustration that
exploded this quarter.
This summer was probably the last time the
faculty was willing to trust the Board. Though
many objected, the University Senate voted to
allow the trustees to conduct their own
investigation. The senate soon learned it had
been had.
However, Tuesday night was election night.
With Wallace could possible come three new
trustees. They would not be affected as much,
if at all, by these circumstances. And what
involvement will Wallace exercise?
Nothing is going to die down soon. This
means that an effort will be required of us all.
We must keep in mind what the actual issues
are.
How bad will it get?
Get ready for all the dirty laundry to come
out. We're playing in the big leagues now. No
holds barred.
With the lopsided confidence vote Tuesday,
the lines have been drawn. The faculty is
completely unsatisfied with the administration
and is willing to go to the trenches. The trustees
are equally adament.
Funderburk'sreporttothe trustees, released
Friday, is prefaced with a letter from R.C.
Bamberg, vice chairmen of the Board of
Trustees. "I have read the report of the
Committee of the Whole of the University
Senate dated October 26, 1982, and find it
incomplete and inconsistent with the docu­mented
facts which were submitted to us by
you.''
Leaders of the University Senate, in turn,
have stated that the Funderburk report only
supports their report and they are standing by
their guns. In addition, they say they still have
some ammunition they haven't brought out
yet.
Heaven only knows how far the two sides are
willing to go. In the Funderburk report, it is
stated, "Afew days later, Dr. Cox's wife, Jean,
came to see me. She was in a highly emotional
state and asked me to please try to find a
position for Grady at Auburn because she did
not want to go to Birmingham."
It's hardball time, and things are going to
get rough. Sure those comments are getting
close to heltline, but you can't blame
Funderburk. The University Senate report
didn't quite beat around the bush either.
The question is how badly tarnished is
everyone going to let the University get. The
Plainsman would be the last to be pious about
self-criticism of our University, but vicious
name calling only makes people look silly.
The faculty wants the president to resign.
The president and his forces won't budge.
Alright, so everyone has to do what he thinks is
best. But there are ways to go about this. We
must remain civilized.
Events have a way of chain reacting, and
before we know it, there's a situation that
nobody intended or wanted. Things aren't out
of control yet, but we have all the confidence
that they could get that way.
We must remember there is an outside
world. There are students we want to study
here. There are teachers we want to teach here.
And then there are the fat donations we
wouldn't mind falling our way either.
An administrative faculty conflict doesn't
have to be a fiasco. In the course of people
performing their jobs these things will happen.
Let's keep the big picture in mind.
Rudeness in the sun
We pay them our good money, and they
treat us like garbage.
The way our fans were treated at the Florida
game should be a reminder to us to never do the
same to our visitors. Now we know what it feels
like when we throw oranges at the Tennessee
team or jeer Bulldog fans.
But Auburn students usually have much
more class than was shown to them in
Gainesville Saturday. Stadium cops would not
allow Auburn fans to stand and even told our
cheerleaders not to do "two bits" so we
wouldn't stand to do the cheer.
And while Florida fans were going crazy,
several Auburn students were actually removed
from the stands for nothing more than
enthusiastic cheering (but of course they stood
to cheer).
Our photographers, too, were harrassed and
treated 'in an extremely unprofessional
manner. They were restricted to only certain
parts of the field and were not even allowed
near the Auburn bench to photograph our own
players. This procedure is unheard of here.
The photograph on the front page of our
sports section almost didn' t happen at all. Our
photographer had to lie on the ground and take
it between the legs of a policeman. The police
were constantly denying photographers access
to standard working areas and purposely stood
in front of them.
The problems didn't stop after the game.
The local hosts acted obnoxious from all the
reports we've had, and Auburn fans were the
targets of ridicule all night.
When you come down to it though, the
problem is theirs, not ours. We need to use this
experience to look at how we treat our own
guests. I'm sure we all remember a time or two
when we weren't the greatest hosts. Maybe our
visit to Florida will make us a little more
conscious of our behavior when we' re the home
team.
Anyway, we' ve got next year to look forward
to when the Gators come to Auburn. That's
when we'll get the chance to show them what
class is.

So you think drug humor is funny
Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, George Carlin,
John Belushi.
Drug Humor.
Lenny Bruce, dead, methadone overdose.
John Belushi, dead, cocaine and heroin
overdose. George Carlin, two heart attacks,
publicly sworn off drugs. Richard Pryor, heart
attack, near-fatal accident freebasing cocaine,
now delivering anti-drug material in concert.
Why is it that drug jokes go over so well,
especially among young people? Why does
Johnny Carson get laughs at the mere mention of
"Zig-Zag" or "mirrors"?
It has a lot to do with being "hip." Laughing at
drug humor is a way of saying you're hip to the
hypocrisy of American society regarding illegal
drugs.
But though the comedian shows us that the
establishment isn't telling us the truth about
drugs, he rarely takes the next step and tells us
what the truth is.
Most kids on the street have better drug
knowledge than most of the garbage their
parents and teachers tried to feed them. They
detect the naivete. But what they also do is draw
some illogical conclusions of their own:
The establishment is hypocritical and unin­formed
about drugs. The establishment says
that drugs are harmful. Therefore, many kids
deduce, drugs are not harmful.
The most obvious point kids pick up on is the
alcohol-marijuana double-standard. Society
uses overkill when warning about marijuana,
and yet is reasonable, perhaps even too lenient in
stressing the hazards of alcohol. Consequently,
there are kids who would never become
alcoholics finding their lives ruled by pot or some
other drug.
Our culture is so larded with alcohol-mari­juana
hypocrisy that we don't even realize- it.
Just take a look at some of the words we use.
When someone is drunk and running around
with a lampshade on his head, we say he is
"uninhibited." The alcohol "took away his
inhibitions."
"Took away his inhibitons"? Gee, they make it
sound like it did something good for him.
But what do we say about someone who is
stoned and sitting quietly in the corner? He's
PARANOID!
And these Nancy Reagan drug-information
programs are simply laughable: A bunch of
housewives patting each other on the back and
feeling cool learning drug lingo. "Many times the
person smoking the water pipe will go into a
frenzy and 'hit' others over the head with the
'bong,' thus bringing about the term 'doing bong
hits."'
Richard Pryor's orations of his personal
ordeal is much more effective and credible
among those who need to hear it.
Then there's the legal hypocrisy. One way
to illustrate this would be to replace the bullets
in a gun with joints. When they arrest you and
bring you to court for possession, what can the
judge say? "Are you the guy that took the bullets
out of the gun and put the joints in? Don't you
know that stuff is dangerous?"
The idea behind tough marijuana laws seems
to be that the government doesn't want us to
hurt ourselves. But how many people have been
put in prison for attempting suicide? I guess if
you want to kill yourself, people are concerned.
But if you want tohurt yourself justalittle over a
long period of time, boy - now that's a serious
problem requiring some jail time.
I strongly urge that if you're going to get high,
always carry a suicide note. If the cops catch you,
show them the note and say they stopped you in
the process.
The problem is that the punishment should fit
the crime. If a law is designed to stop us from
hurting ourselves, the punishment shouldn't be
more harmful than breaking the law. Criminal
sanction for personal use is absurd.
But just as absurd is the talk of blanket
legalization. Those who say, "Marijuana is no
worse than alcohol" are giving the best reason
I've heard for keeping it illegal.
Alcohol is a problem that's already completely
out of control. Too many broken lives, too many
highway deaths. Why would anyone want to
legalize dope just to be consistent with that?
At the minimum, we need to keep it away
from minors. They need to wait until their
characters are firmly established before making
the choice about getting involved in something
that's bigger than they are.
The dope problem is bad, but not yet as
widespread yet as alcohol. We need to keep it
that way. But to do that we, as a society, must
stop deceiving ourselves about the situation. No
more hypocrisy, tell the kids that marijuana is no
worse than alcohol... and then give them a look
inside an alcohol abuse hospital or detoxification
center.
Drug humor. It's hip to laugh at the ignorance
of the establishment. I wish it were hip to know
the truth.
European schooling outdoes ours
Whenever I'm with my relatives, I always feel
like the black sheep of the family. It's not that I
have a prison record or that I've brought shame
unto the family name. It's just that in a
comparison with my cousins that are about my
age, I come out looking like a mental midgit and a
cultural imbecile.
I've pondered long and hard on this
frustrating discrepency in an attempt to find its
cause. I can't justifiably blame it on genes
because they're more or less the same ones, and I
refuse to take the blame myself so I've decided it
must be the difference between American and
European educational systems.
After some slight investigation on that
premise, I've found it may provide me with a
very plausible excuse.
Of course, European educational systems
vary from country to country just as ours vary
from state to state. However, some subjects
which are given uniform emphasis in Europe
indicate a stark constrast with the priorities of
this country.
For instance, most European children begin
taking a foreign language at least by the time
they're in the fifth grade. That could be because
the younger one learns a language, the easier it
is. In comparison, the only time I was exposed to
a foreign language in elementary school was
when my Brazlian first-grade teacher lost her
temper and rattled off what I suppose were
South American obscenities to vent her
frustrations.
" ' ! . •'• . —
Monique
VanLandingham
Another subject which is emphasized in
European schools is geography. I think they
want to be able to show enough courtesy to other
countries to at least know generally where
they're located. On the other hand, I guess
Americans think it's enough that other countries
know where we are.
A third peculiarity of European schools is that
they seem to put a lot of stock in academics and
scholarship, and leave off most of the frills.
There is no band, no baseball, no cheerleaders,
no football and no Thursday pep rallies.
A European who intends to go to college stays
in school until he's 19. He can take all the college
prep courses, brown-nose all the teachers and
study his head off but it won't do him a bit of good
if he doesn't pass the comprehensive exam.
Before he can even think about applying to
college he has to make it through this final to end
all finals. It includes all the major subjects
learned in high school and has an oral and written
part, each lasting several days.
Germans and Austrians call it the Arbitur, the
French call it the Baccalaureate and the students
call it impossible. When they get this far, they've
had an extensive liberal arts background and is
about on the same level as a beginning college
junior in the U.S.
To demonstrate the advanced state of these
high school kids, I'll use my cousin as an example.
She moved from Hamburg, Germany to
Houston, Texas at the age of 16, and instead of
going into the 11th grade like everyone else her
age, she was placed as a senior in the public
school. With only the English she had learned in
High School she managed excellent grades and
was easily accepted the next year at Rice
University, one of the most exclusive schools in
the south.
If you think she's hard to compete with, you
should talk to my French cousin who came to
America after passing his Baccalaureate. When
he visited Houston he was amazed to find the
Rice students learning the same economics he
had just finished in high school. And if you could
hear his discription of the Bacc, (Ou la la!) it
would make your brain cells shudder.
When I think back on my high school
education: one foreign language to the second
year level, no math beyond trig, no physics and
no advanced biology, I sometimes wonder that
America can even compete as a world power. But
I guess I have nothing to worry about. There
have been lots of brilliant American minds. Look
at Albert Einstein, Thomas Mann and Werner
Von Braun.
Where do the 'Sickos' come from?
"Any man's death diminishes me, because I
am involved in mankind," wrote John Donne.
And any senseless death diminishes me even
more.
What could be more senseless than the seven
Tylenol-related deaths in Chicago three weeks
ago? Answer: the numerous "copycat" poison­ings
that have occured since the Chicago
incident.
As if reading and hearing about the murders in
Chicago were not enough, we now have to
contend with hundreds of "sickies" who get their
kicks watching other people suffer.
It's sad when it gets to the point that one must
be suspicious of any product bought.
Reports of tampering with products come
from all areas of the nation; no area is immune
from these madmen.
In Dublin, Georgia, a woman drank a Pepsi
and later found it was tainted with bleach.
Tranazine, a tranquilizer, has been found in a
brand of frozen pies popular in the east.
Perhaps the vilest incidents have come from
substances placed in health aids. In Colorado,
mercuric chloride has been found in Excedrin,
forcing stores all over the state to remove it from
their shelves. Rat poison has been found in
Anacin and Hydrochloric acid in Visine, not to
mention tainted mouthwashes, candy bars and
fruit. The FDA says there have been 270 product
contaminations and 36 "hardcore" tamperings
since the Chicago incident.
Is anything safe anymore?
The saddest result from these crimes is that
they hurt people other than the "victim."
Tylenol, a month ago the largest selling pain
reliever in the country, will be lucky to stay in
business at all with the negative connotations
attached to its product.
And, worst of all, with the crimes taking place
at this time of year, Holloween will never by the
same again.
The Atlanta Constitution said that trick or
treating was down to less than 20 percent of
whftfrtt,w*ii84 yeaoe inCleveland. Many eities
banned Halloweening altogether and most
parents allowed their kids to visit only neighbors
houses, if any at all. Even Mayor Jane Byrne in
Chicago said her kids would not be trick or
treating.
Can you blame them?
Even with hospitals offering to X-ray candy
for possible contamination this year, there have
already been reports of 16 children poisoned at a
New Jersey kindergarten party and numerous
incidents involving razor blades and drugs
embedded in fruit and candy.
I doubt if Halloween, what I consider to the
most enjoyable night of the year for some
children, will ever be the same again.
What kind of weirdos would revel in
provoking such fear in the hearts and minds of
children and adults alike?
Psychologists in the country seem to be at a
loss for an answer. Some say unhappy
employees are seeking revenge on the compan­ies
while others claim these criminals are
reverting back to childhood and pulling deadly
pranks, not thinking they will be deadly pranks.
A Baltimore lieutenant summed up the
majority opinion when he said "everybody wants
to make the papers."
I have just one request. If people out there are
doing, this just to make the papers, try saving
lives instead of taking them.
The press prints that sort of thing too, and it
doesn't hurt so much if you get caught.

the proper place to praise God?
One subject I have pledged myself never to
write on is religion.
Religion is one of those touchy subjects that
tends to make the life of a writer miserable. No
matter what a writer writes he will receive
criticism. In general, it has been my policy to
stay away from religious issues and avoid the
hassles associated with them.
But I have broken my pledge and have decided
to write on a religious issue because I feel my
silence would only give further justification to a
practice I question.
I write not as a religious scholar, but only as a
Christian. (I use the term Christian to only mean
a believer of the teachings of the apostles.) I also
v2o not look at this column as a way to match wits
with my deity, I would certainly be the loser of
that type of contest.
The religious issue I address here is prayer.
Personally, I like to pray and believe in an
individual's need to pray. Prayer is an important
part of my life, and has meaning to me. I even
recommend prayer to my friends during hard
times.
But is Jordan-Hare stadium the proper place
to pray?
I believe it is, alone with any other location
where an individual feels the need. In my belief,
we owe God the honor of allowing us to be at the
game in the first place.
But my real question is, are the prayers before
the game being presented as God intended us to
present them?
Let me say here that I am not questioning the
validity, judging the qualities of the prayers, or
the intentions of those delivering them. My
question is whether the prayers are being used
as God intended them to be.
Imagine now the average Auburn fan. He's
come decked out in orange and blue to see Bo
Jackson run the kickoff back. Most of his
thoughts are on destroying Auburn's rival, and
not of God. He paid good money to see a football
Tommy
Shovelton
game and does not want that game to be delayed
by a mini-sermon.
Then there is the Jew or Muslim who decided
to pay their good money to go watch the football
game. I guess we could ask them to plug their
ears during the prayer, or not come at all. But I
ask would God want someone to be excluded or
offended to get his word to others?
There is also the idea of developing a prayer
suitable for all religions. But to ask someone to
give a generic prayer suitable for all religions is
asking them to sacrifice their beliefs.
It also seems some of us have misplaced the
meaningof prayer. Prayer is personal communi­cation
with God. Prayer is not a time to witness.
If those chosen to give the prayers at the game
want to witness and spread God's word they
should claim their true ambition and not try to
pass off their witnessing as a prayer.
But probably my biggest complaint with the
prayers is how they will be interpreted by those
searching and wondering about God. Some could
ask, "Are the students giving the prayers
sincere, or are these just campus leaders going
on another ego trip by praying" for 70,000
people?"
For me the solution to prayer at the games is
simple. Just bow your head and pray. Don't wait
for someone to give, or lead a prayer. God knows
what you want already, just ask him.
As for the public prayer before the game, I will
reserve judgment for someone else. But I think a
lot more is at issue here than communication
with God.
Plainsman editorial wrong;
ambulances provide service
Editor, The Plainsman,
We were shocked at the narrowmindedness of
the editorial "Ambulances Needed" in the
October 28 Plainsman. Certainly the ambulance
service provided by the student health center
will be truly missed. It was indeed a valuable
service provided by some very dedicated people,
but it is gone now.
This is no reason to attack the East Alabama
Medical Center ambulance service. Twenty
minutes may be a long time to wait for an
ambulance, but let's be realistic. A sprained
ankle is not a life or death matter. Also, the
campus is quite a distance from the Medical
Center.
Let us tell you about our experience with the
East Alabama Medical Center's ambulance
service. Two weeks ago, our mother came to
Auburn for the Georgia Tech football game and
stayed at our apartment for the weekend. Early
Sunday morning, upon awakening she suffered a
major seizure. An ambulance was called
immediately. Paramedics and the police arrived
within three minutes. The paramedics examined
our mother, who was unconscious, to determine
her condition.
An ambulance was summoned and arrived in
approximately five minutes. Our mother, now
conscious, was taken to East Alabama Medical
Center. Approximately fifteen to twenty
minutes had elapsed since her seizure. Our
mother received prompt, competent medical
care and the paramedics, police and ambulance
attendents were all very concerned and very
helpful.
Of course, at the emergency room, we were
presented with a bill for the ambulance call, but
we were in no way pressured to pay it on the
spot.
Needless to say, after our experience, we are
apalled that you call the ambulance service
"terrible." We believe that the excellent care our
mother received could very well have saved her
life. So instead of complaining about what we
don't have, why don't we be thankful for what we
DO have! We are very thankful for the East
Alabama Medical Center ambulance service.

We need the nuclear freeze
Editor, The Plainsman,
On November 2 in nine states and thirty towns
and cities across the nation citizens voted on
referendums calling for a bilateral freeze of
nuclear weapons production, deployment and
testing. A similar vote taken in the House of
Representatives last June was defeated by only
two votes. These events are examples of the
democratic process at work. The referendums
advise the president to offer a freeze to the
Soviet Union. This act, then can be considered a
challenge to the Soviets to prevent a nuclear
war.
The Soviets have experienced war on their
own soil. In World War II, as our allies they lost
twenty-two million people. In a nuclear war
there would be no survivors. The Freeze would
also allow both the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. to stop
wasting money on nuclear weapons production.
There are 50,000 nuclear weapons in the world,
isn't that enough? The Auburn chapter of United
Campuses to Prevent Nuclear War thinks so.
As part of a national convocation on solutions
to the arms race, UCAM is sponsoring a speech
by Sanford Gottlieb, the national director of
UCAM. Dr. Gottlieb has served in the U.S. Navy
and on the MX Missile Basing Advisory Board of
the Office of Technology Assessment. In 1976, he
was Adjunct Professor of Arms Control at The
American University in Washington, D.C. He is
also author of a book, What About the Russians?
Dr. Gottlieb will speak November 9,8:00 p.m. in
the Pharmacy Auditorium. Everyone is urged to
attend.

'Suicide show' reveals our nature
A television producer named Laurence
Schwab is peddling a show to the cable networks
entitled "Suicide." It's billed as a novel idea in the
realm of degrading dramatic television. It offers
a series of weekly programs featuring a suicidal
victim in a one-on-one meeting with the show's
resident psychiatrist.
A camera crew records the event. The
action-filled conclusion changes from week to
week and the audience never knows if the doctor
will be successful, or if someone's brains will
come splattering across the air waves.
When I first read about this I thought I was the
victim of a poor parody of a Woody Allen sketch.
Even worse, I soon found it was true.
I immediately gave up hope for Schwab.
Anyone who can produce trash like this without
feeling ethically worthless is beyond any human
assistance. But a question did surface from this
video garbagecan.. In order for a show to be
produced there must be the potential of
capturing a large viewing audience. Who is it
Schwab thinks will watch a show that capitalizes
on the tragic circumstances of another person?
Who could possibly sit benignly through a show
where someone seriously decides whether to
end his life?
Schwab's answer to that question is you and I.
We are the television audience. Now, I've
watched some tasteless shows come across the
screen but I refuse to believe that I, or any other
person, would consciously watch a program
based on the manipulations of a sick person's
sharded emotions.
That sounds like a noble attitude, but is it so? A
brief look at the week's television listings offers
some disturbing news. We are entertained by
shows like "That's Incredible" where some
reasonably unbalanced man allows himself to be
dragged behind a speeding car for the aesthetic
pleasure of the viewing audience. That's hardly a
sterling example of man's civilized nature.
That's not an isolated incident. It's the sort of
morbid adventure that can be found frequently
on television. We cringe at the obscenity of
"suicide',' but we complacently watch shows that
offer borderline conflicts with death as if they
were cartoons.
We are a society absurdly fascinated with
death. So why is it that a show like "Suicide"
prompts a reaction of total revulsion? Is it any
more perverse to watch someone commit suicide
than it is to watch thousands starve to death in
some Asian wasteland during the evening news?
Is it more disgusting to watch a young woman
slit her wrists at the end of a half hour program
than to watch a man running through a tunnel of
flame, not knowing whether he will live or be
roasted alive in the attempt? One we call
entertainment, the other we label sickening.
I'm not railing against violence on television. I
would no more want to watch a network
consisting of milquetoast "Little House on the
Prairie" programming than I would one which
offered suicides for the dinner hour.
Yet their enust come a moment for everyone
when we reconcile our personal beliefs with the
kind of entertainment we seek. Is it not
hypocritical for Christians, or humanitarians in
general, to profess the ultimate dignity of man,
but religiously watch shows which not only point
out, but dwell on only the most reprehensible of
human actions?
Schwab and his idea are easily worth our
disdain but are we not even more worthy of it?
He is unethical, but from a business perspective
he is highly accurate. "Suicide" is not a virgin
creation, it is merely a step in a logical
progression that producers discern from
audience viewing habits.
What can be done to stop this kind of
programming, or at least slow it down? Boycotts
aren't necessary, neither are mass protests. All
that need be done is to change the channel or
exercise the on and off switch. In the long run
that's all we need to do.
However, if you're the type of person who
enjoys this sort of thing then stay tuned because
television seems ready to appeal to even more
warped tastes. If we keep watching I'm sure
we'll see Sunday afternoon capital punishment,
rapes of the week and maybe even Monday night
massacres from around the world.
I've always been taught our forefathers left us
the legacy of a civilized world. It seems like
we've lost it.
Senate report is accurate analysis
Subcommittee D which drafted the Senate
Report has examined the President's report and
would like to make the following statements:
Study of the President's report plus the
considerable documentation available to us
reveals that the Senate REPORT need not be
corrected on a single point. Indeed, a careful
scrutiny of the President's report demonstrates
that it documents rather than refutes the major
conclusions of the Senate REPORT concerning
the reasons for the V.P. resignations and the
final responsibility for the University's current
state of unrest.
The President's report purports to document
the President's interpretation of certain events
occurring over the past two and one-half years.
Several points should be made:
First, the President's documentation is less
weighty than it appears. All in all, there are
more than 65 pages of redundancies, penned
notes, newspaper articles, pages with one
sentence or less and blank pages.
Second, a considerable amount of the material
is public information, and most of the other
documentation also was available to and used by
the Senate Committee. In addition, the
Committee of the Whole had considerably more
documentation at its disposal which did not
appear in either report. A close examination of
the material in the President's report when read
with the Senate REPORT, demonstrates and
documents many points in the Senate REPORT.
FACULTY OPINION
DR CURT PETERSON
Third, the President's statement in the
University Press release of October 26, 1982,
that his report contains "all documented facts" is
false. The President's report contains some facts
and some documentation. Yet it excludes
considerable additional documentation
(examples include, omissions on the psychology
secretary dispute, the agreement between Drs.
Cox and Funderburk on the scope of Cox's
authority, most of the material which would
document harassment by the President of Vice
President Littleton, a copy of the President's
speech to administrators in Spring 1980, the
supposed reclassification studies of secretarial
positions, the President's remarks concerning
last year's faculty evaluation of the President,
data on the library, documents restricting
faculty contact with the Board of Trustees, data
on the President's handling of the process of
searching for Dr. Littleton's replacement and
many others.
The President's report is factually incorrect in
a number of important respects. The President
made a similar assessment of the Senate
REPORT, but he has not responded with
specifics - or even to a formal request for
clarification issued last week by the Chairman of
the Senate. We are prepared to correct som eof
the most obvious misstatements, contradic­tions
and areas of confusion in the President's
report, if that becomes necessary. We remain
convinced that the most obvious documentaton
of the strength of the Senate REPORT is the
President's inability or unwillingness to identify
even a single error in it.
Fourth, whereas the President claims his
report contains all documented facts, we have
been told by many administrators, at all levels of
the university organizations outside of the
President's office, that the Senate REPORT is a
fair, accurate account and analysis.
The accusations aren't founded
The following is an abridged version of a
review of Dr. Funderburk's report to the
Board of Trustees, which Dr. Edgar
disseminated. Also signing the report were
Walter B. Clement, W.A. Shaw and C.
Larry Thomasson.
We have examined all of the material
prepared by the President and released by the
Board of Trustess, and offer the following
summary.
One must being by taking a serious look at the
allegations themselves to determine their level
of substance. These include sphere of authority,
loss of respect, changes in administrative
structure or style, operational procedure or
manner, lack of direction or progress, and the
like. It must be noted that there is no hint of
impropriety, no charge of mismanagement, no
evidence of lack of ability or attention to
important issues. On the contrary, the common
thread throughout the allegations is emotion­alism
and petty disagreement at the expense of
substance.
Several of the subjective and impressionistic
concerns voiced are at odds with the truth.
"Progress has stopped" may be countered with
numerous instances in which progress is being
achieved, notably in serious discussion and
planning of Auburn's future, addressing long
standing problems in Engineering and else-

where, improving quality of students present on
campus, upgrading computer capability, and the
like.
Charges of "absence of leadership" can be
countered with evidence of serious presence of
leadership in dealing with complex problems
facing the University, with success in the
Generations Fund, and with consolidation of
administrative functions to render them more
responsive to the times. "Breakdown in
organizational structure" must be countered by
the observation that organizational structure
and flow of communication is sounder than ever,
despite apparent unwillingness of two key
administrators to be active participants in this
effort.
The reponses and the documents attached to
them reveal that the President exhibited almost
unprecedented patience in attempting to
incorporate Cox and Littleton as full partici­pants
within the administration. Despite oral
and written assurances that they would be
supportive of decisions after they were made,
the record shows otherwise.
The relationship of Dr. Grover Jacobs to the
departing vice presidents and the President
receives attention as a basic cause for difficulty.
Yet, the information indicates that Dr. Jacobs
was supportive of these administrators.
h is alleged that there has been a lack of
success in development of a sense of community,
eitherwithin the administration or between
adminstration and faculty. The documents show
that this should be of little surprise. At a time
when the President was attempting to
encourage full partnership in the adminstration
by Cox and Littleton, they were doing little to
assist in the improvement of intracanipus
relations.

Horrors of sick pranks halt
long trick-or-treating tradition
Editor, The Plainsman,
For the first time in many years, people have
really been frightened of Halloween. It wasn't
witches, ghouls and vampires that scared them
though. It was stories in newspapers and on ra­dio
and TV of poisoned candy that vanquished
foolish superstitions.
We have new monsters now, and unlike the
ghosts and demons of old, these creatures are
real. No longer do the undead haunt our dreams;
the psychopaths haunt our lives instead.
"The Night of the Living Dead" was on late
Halloween night. Any fear that the movie had
once held was gone-gone with the children of
the night. Only 5 costumed children, well guard­ed
by their parents, came by the house that
night. Last year there had been fifty. The new
monsters scare not only children but parents as
well.
Halloween died this year. It didn't require a
stake through the heart though, nothing as my­stical
as that. A few lunatics poisoning candy and
sticking pins into fruit did it.
Voodoo apples and the equivalent, garliced
candy, if a metaphor is needed. Halloween is
dead still the same. Children of the future will
not go house to house collecting candy anymore.
In fact, in about 20 years, children will find it eas­ier
to believe poison was handed out instead of
candy.
Halloween's death is a sign, a portent of the fu­ture.
More and more people are afraid to leave
their homes for fear of the creatures that walk
the streets. These monsters are not the superna­tural
myths of old, but living, breathing beings
who want nothing more than to indiscriminantly
murder us and our young.
Will we continue to hamstring our law officers
and legal system with constricting laws? Can we
afford to release murders into our society be
cause of legal technicalities? You and your chil­dren's
lives are on the line. The next time a luna­tic
is released because of a glitch in the system,
think about where this person might show up.
His goal could be your home town.

Auburn fans treated rudely at Florida game
Editor, The Plainsman,
Last weekend the Auburn-Florida football
game was attended by at least 10,000
super-spirited Auburn fans, many of whom had
driven at least six hours to cheer their team on
and to enjoy quality football. Early in the game it
became clear to many that it was a wasted trip as
the Auburn team and fans became the objects of
harassment from the Florida team, fans and
campus police.
Evidence of this unsportsmanlike hostility
surfaced when the Florida campus police
attempted to surpress the Auburn spirit by
requesting that fans remain seated at all times
during the game. Meanwhile, Florida fans were
permitted, if not encouraged, to stand and cheer
for their team. This included the chanting of
verbally abusive cheers as well as the throwing
of ice, coke and other projectiles down on to the
Auburn fans below.
Aside from the game itself, many Auburn fans
looked forward to the recreational activities
associated with the Gainesville area. However,
harassment of these loyal fans did not cease
when they left the stadium but intensified as
Auburn students attempted to patronize local
businesses in the area.
The behavior such as writing on cars, spraying
of paint on cars and the verbally abusive
language encountered by the Auburn fans is
generally tolerated when displayed by a losing
team, but when a winning team directs this kind
A victory in Auburn pride
Editor, The Plainsman,
Last weekend I was one of the many spirited
football fans who headed down to Florida looking
for another victory. In the last five seconds of the
game, I realized that I wouldn't find that victory
on the scoreboard. However, another type of
victory seemed to seed itself within me. It was a
triumphant feeling and it came about because of
my pride in Auburn.
Our fans showed a whole lot of class down
there- something I just don't think those Gators
have. I like our style and our friendly smile.
Admittedly, I would be happier with a victory in
the history book, but there is no doubt about it,
as I left fie stadium, I was glad. that my orange
and blue had a big "A" on it! WAR EAGLE!!

of action toward a guest team, it shows that the
host team and fans lack confidence and must
release hostility as an outlet for their
anxiety-win or lose.
It is clear that the Florida Football Program
will never enjoy the same status as the Auburn
Football Club as long as it insists on this type of
intercollegiate relationship. In addition, it is
clear that Florida-Auburn rivalry, initiated by
Florida, is in the first phase of development.
In light of this fact, the following suggestions
are made in the interest of fair play and to uphold
the finest traditions of the game:
1. We request that the University of Florida
Athletic Department take into consideration the
harassment of Auburn fans by Florida students
and give Auburn seats that won't be affected by
an overhanging balcony full of Florida fans.
2. Our fans would like everyone to receive the
same treatment from the police, either request
that everyone sit down, or let us stand and cheer
without the harassment and forcible remove-ment
of fans from their seats.

Professor respects vice presidents
Editor, The Plainsman,
It seems to me that one of the most
unfortunate aspects of the crisis surrounding
the resignations of Vice Presidents Cox and
Littleton and the publication of the various
reports, both pro and con, that have been issued
by different parties, is the way in which this
series of events has called into question the
competence and accomplishments of these two
fine persons, both of whom have served Auburn
University with steadfast loyalty and dedication
in a number of capacities over many years.
During my academic career, which now spans
nearly three decades, I have been associated
with five large state universities, one small but
highly esteemed liberal arts college, and an
educational foundation of major importance in
my field of specialization.
I am merely speaking the plain truth when I
say that in the course of my entire professional
life I have never encountered two high academic
executives for whom I have a deeper sense of
admiration and respect. In my opinion, it is a
great pity that this institution is losing their
administrative services, and I want to take this
opportunity to express publicly my warm
personal and professional regard for both of
them. W.David Lewis

Colleagues don't represent department
Editor, The Plainsman,
During the General Faculty Meeting on
November 2, faculty members spoke and voted
their conscience with respect to confidence in
the President of Auburn University. In some
cases this probably involved a consensus within
departments while in other departments there
was a lack of consensus. .
At times when there is an absence of
consensus in a department certain viewpoints
may be more public than others. Even when
individuals do not present themselves as
department spokespersons, they may be viewed
as representatives of an entire group.

Faculty members supporting the
president made several attempts to
amend or delay a vote Tuesday, but
were soundly defeated.
Engineering professor Darrell D.
Penrod suggested that the faculty
consider postponing the vote until it
had more time to read the reports.
Speech professor Mordecai Arnold
said "any action on the confidence
vote must be based on ... these
reports."
But Allen Jones of the university
archives, said faculty members had
plenty of time to read and interpret
the reports. "Anyone who really
wanted to read them could have
found copies," he said, noting that
they were available in the library.
Dr. S. Allen Edgar, a 33-year
veteran professor in poultry sci­ence,
offered an amendment that a
roll call ballot be taken by mail so
that non-tenured faculty wouldn't
feel pressured. He also added that
many of the 1,500 faculty couldn't
vote that day.
Still, such attempts to stall or
amend the vote were greeted with
overwhelming opposition. After an
hour and 20 minutes of deliberation,
the ballots were cast, slapping
Funderburk with another defeated
vote of confidence.
Gordon Bond, chairman of the
Faculty Senate, expressed a feeling
of "sadness" regarding Tuesday's
outcome.
"I think it's regrettable and I'm
sincerely distressed about a situa­tion
like this where faculty mem­bers
of a university-that is continu­ously
trying to develop its pro-grams-
don'thave confidence in the
president."
Af ter the vote, a dissenting minor­ity
faction of the University Senate,
headed by Edgar, issued a state­ment
urging the Board of Trustees to
back the president.
Funderburk supporters after the
meeting were asked what factors
they felt attributed to the ' 'erosion''
of support Funderburk faced in
Tuesday's vote. Compared to
February when the faculty cast
their ballots in a related confidence
vote, Funderburk lost more than 20
percent of the support he had
previously.
One loyal supporter was over­heard
saying "political factors
seemed to override academic
ones."
The Board of Trustees,! will take
up the matter tomorrow at 2 p.m. to
decide whether to ask for Funder-burk's
resignation.
If they do, and Funderburk agrees
to step down, a search committee!
Continued from A-l
will immediately be formed to find
an educator to lead the university/
And if the board supports the
president? One faculty member
cautioned, "If they don't consider
the views of the faculty this tame,
maybe we should hold a confidence
vote on the trustees."

The Jelly Belly comes in a variety

even comes in Pina Colada and

When buying an order of Jelly
Bellies, (there is a % pound-$1.25
minimum) the customer is given a
"take out menu" describing the
Jelly Belly. It tells the customer how
to distinguish the jelly beans accord­ing
to their color. On the back of the
menu are sample recipes for crea­tive
mixtures.
Loftom saysall of the candy, but
particularly the Jelly Bellies, have
become popular with the Auburn
students.
This popularity, he says, is in­creased
by the many ways the candy
can be given as a gift. Sweet
Magnolia Place mixes or matches
the Jelly Bellies in a clear plastic
container with matching ribbon.

sizes and make popular and inex­pensive

Funderburk releases report; blasts VPs
By Keith Ayers
News Editor
Auburn University president Hanly Funderburk,
sharply criticizing two vice presidents who resigned
from his office inMay, said they were "unwilling to work
with others and have chosen to create as much turmoil
as possible" at AU.
In an effort to calm a swell of controversy surrounding
his office, Funderburk issued a lengthy report Friday
giving his version of conditions leading up to the
resignations of vice presidents Grady Cox and Taylor
Littleton.
Funderburk's statement is in reply to a report
approved last Tuesday by the AU faculty senate
charging him with being responsible for the "state of
unrest" at the university and blaming him for the two
high level resignations.
The president's statement objected to claims by Cox
and Littleton that he tried to delegate their responsibili­ties
to Dr. Grover Jacobs, another vice president known
to work closely with Funderburk.
Funderburk's report which was distributed to the
faculty said Cox and Littleton were responsible for their
own demise in the Auburn administration.
"Dr. Cox was hired as executive vice president, paid
as executive vice president, and I expected him to
perform in that capacity. I found in a short period of time
he was not adjusting well to the position,'' Funderburk
*!>f Cox repeatedly failed to communicate
with me...by his own admission, he
withdrew and chose not to cooperate.'
'I have not heard of Dr Littleton making
a positive statement, public or otherwise,
about activities at Auburn University.'
said.
"Routine matters were brought to me that should
have been handled by him. I also learned some matters
were not handled or were handled after prolonged
periods of time."
Perhaps the most scathing remark by Funderburk
attributedCox'sinadequacy to the allegation he "rarely
works a full day.''

THE FUNDERBURK CONTROVERSY
REPORTS
UNIVERSITY SENATE REPORT
The University Senate released a report harsldy criticizing Dr.
Hanly Funderburk on Friday, Oct. 22. The report, culminating two
months of work by a senate subcommittee investigating the
resignations of vice presidents Taylor Littleton and Grady Cox,
charged the president with the responsibility for those resignations as
well as the "state of unrest" at the University.
MINORITY REPORT
A statement by a minority faction of the senate—not an official
minority committee—was released Oct. 27, a day after the senate
gave overwhelming approval of its committee's critical report on
Funderburk. The minority group, led by Dr. S.A. Edgar of poultry
science, called the senate's document "biased" and "unnecessarily
inflammatory.''
THE FUNDERBURK REPORT
The president's answer to the senate's report surfaced on Friday,
Oct. 29, a report that said Cox and Littleton led to their own demise in
the Funderburk administration. Funderburk said Cox' 'never worked
afull day*' and thatLittleton had an overwhelmingly negative attitude
toward the progress at Auburn University made during the
Funderburk administration.
EVENT
CONFIDENCE VOTE
Tuesdaynight, thegeneralfacultymet to testa confidence measure
in Funderburk, a meeting that came out of a stipulation in the senate
report. Funderburkfailed the vote, with752faculty saying they had no
confidence in Funderburk's leadersldp. Only 253 said they trusted
Funderburk at the University held. After the vote, the general faculty
passed a resolution calling for Funderburk to voluntarily resign. If he
doesn't, the resolution calls for the trustees to ask him to.
AS IT STANDS
The dilemma now stands entirely in the hands of the trustees. The
Board meets tomorrow and is expected to decide on its course of
action. A phone survey by the Plainsman of the trustees made in the
past week reveals that at least four trustees firmly back the president.
One opposes him and three offered no comment. The other four men on
the 12-member board were unavailable for comment. The board
meets tomorrow at 2 p.m. in the Foy Union Exlabit Lounge.

Senate says report supports claim
By Doug Leyshock
Plainsman Staffwriter
Members of the University Senate
called a statement released by
President Hanly Funderburk re­futing
allegations contained in a
recent critical Senate report not a
rebuttal, but a "substantiation" of
the major conclusions of that report.
The authors of the highly critical
Senate evaluation, all members of a
subcommittee that investigated the
resignations of Dr. Taylor Littleton
and Dr. Grady Cox, issued their
statement at a press conference
Monday.
They said Funderburk's state­ment,
released publicly Friday,
failed to refute any of the Senate
report's contentions. Responding to
questions concerning the accuracy
of their own report, members of the
committee replied that it did not
require correction "on a single
point."
"Indeed, a careful scrutiny of the
president's report demonstrates
that it documents rather than
refutes the major conclusions of the
Senate report concerning the
reasons for the vice presidential
resignations and the locus of res­ponsibility
for the University's
current state of unrest," the res­ponse
said.
The Senate report places the
' 'locus of responsibility'' for both the
vice-presidential resignations and
the university's current "state of
unrest" with Funderburk.
According to committee mem­bers
their report used "virtually all
the important documentation" in
the Funderburk statement, plus
considerably more." They refused
to comment on the specific addi­tional
data. .
Funderburk' s report charged that
the Senate report excluded certain
information and opinions by Univer­sity
administrators. The com­mittee's
statement said Funder­burk's
claim was correct. They
added that due to the sensitive
nature of some of the information it
was withheld' 'out of a sense of good
taste'' and a desire not to damage or
embarass Funderburk by releasing
Funderburk also said during the past two years he had
not heard of Littleton making a positive statement,
public or otherwise, about activities at Auburn
University.
"Dr. Littleton attends very few functions on campus
where top level administrators are expected to be
present.
"There is a shortage of leadership caused by two vice
presidents who were not willing to work with other
administrators to carry out the mission of Auburn
University," Funderburk said. j
Littleton said many of Funderburk's statements are
"quite misleading and inaccurate."
"We were asked to give the reasons we resigned,
which we did. Some things in his report are incomplete,
others I didn't say and others are taken out of context.''
Funderburk's report contains a collection of inter­office
memos in correspondence between AU admi­nistrators
leading up to the resignations.
The material was presented to the trustees two
months ago and they had opted to keep it confidential
until Friday.
In a cover letter to the Funderburk report, R.C.
Bamberg, chairman of the board of trustees, said, "It is
unfortunate that some members of the faculty have
decided to air this matter pubicly... we feel compelled to
release the complete, documented facts so people can
determine the truth."
Faculty group
issues report
opposing senate
By Keith Ayers
News Editor
A minority faction of the faculty
has issued a report criticizing the
senate's condemnation of Dr. Hanly
Funderburk calling the body's re­cent
report "unnecessarily inflam­matory...
and far from repre­sentative
of the breadth of academic
discipline found on the Auburn
University campus."
Dr. S.A. Edgar, a 33-year veteran
professor at AU, issued the state­ment
in response to last Tuesday's
faculty senate vote blaming
Funderburk for the resignations of
the vice presidents last spring and
for being the key factor in the "state
of unrest" at the university.
There were only 12 votes against
that report adopted by the 87-
member faculty senate.
"The discontent at Auburn Uni­versity...
is not due to a compelling
set of misdeeds or established facts,
but...are based on a tissue of fact and
the muscle of innuendo and
cliches," Edgar said in his report.
He would not say how many people
helped write the pro-Funderburk
report, but said he believes more
senators believe the original report
was biased and inaccurate than the
original senate vote indicated.
"More than 15 senators and 50
staff members have called me
saying they agree with the minority
report. I just don't think there's
enough stuff here to ask a man to
resign.
' 'I think the trustees will back Dr.
Funderburk and if people are still
unhappy they should seek employ­ment
elsewhere. This thing has
continued to grow just like a
cancer," he said.
Gordon Bond, president of the
faculty senate, called the original
document "a masterpiece of under­statement,"
while the minority
report said it contained "irrespon­sible
and unfounded" charges.
Funderburk losta confidence vote
in February by a vote of 455 to 416,
with 66 abstentions.
The trustees, who have continued
to support the president, will meet
tomorrow.

B-2 The Auburn Plainsman
University harbors sets of twins
By Brenda Borgh
Plainsman Staffwriter
For some people, waking up to see
their image in the mirror is a
revealing thing. But several sets of
twins at Auburn need only to look at
each other to see a reflection of
friends and say they even invented
their own language to confuse
people when they were children.
Physically, there is little differ­ence
in the girls' appearances,
except Joy has a few more freckles.
The one thing which aggravates the
two is when people they know get
them mixed up without trying to see
"We're in all the same organiza­tions,
are roommates and are best
friends," says the more talkative
Jani.
Sophomore engineering students
Rick and Rob Consoli, claim they
have been roomates and best friends
ever since they can remember.
Rick, the more impulsive of the two,
themselves.
Growing up as a twin has provided
Joy and Julie Denton of Mont­gomery
with unusual experiences,
as well as amusing ones.
The two are Earlv Childhood
majors, roommates and share a
love for sweets. Since birth the
Denton sisters have been best
them as individuals.
Jeri and Jani Pipes didn't have to
invent a language to fool people for
they simply traded roles to confuse
teachers and friends. Jani, the
"more daring" of the fraternal, but
look-alike twins from Birmingham,
contributes their low-keyed rivalry
to her parents.
says, "We have different views and
interests—he takes care of the room
and I take care of the car."
Outside friends and activities
keep the mirror twins from St.
Petersburg, Fla. from being too
competitive, and the soft-spoken
twins seem to openly accept each
other's individualism.
Hair clippings deter hungry deer

A researcher at Auburn Univers­ity
believes the answer to keeping
deer from destroying crops and fruit
trees lies on the floors of barber­shops.
In 1979, Dr. Joseph Norton, was
trying to start a research plum
orchard at the Auburn Agricultural
Experiment Station near Shorter in
Macon County.
He could not get a successful start
on the project because deer would
nibble on the young trees during the
night.
One day Norton was browsing
through a science magazine and saw
where someone had used human
