WAIT A MINUTE MR. POSTMAN - College days can be
extremely lonely but it can be even worse when letters and
packages become scarce. These lonely mailboxes are far away
from students who are anxiously studying for final exams
next week. Whether students are concentrating on their
exams or busy planning vacations for spring break, receiving
mail is not as important as it would normally be.

Senate approves budget allocations
By Karin Gage
News Staff
The SGA Student Senate
approved the 1984-85 Budget
allocations of student activities
fees as recommended by the
Budget and Finance Committee
at its meeting last Thursday
night.
The budget approved had only
one change from the original
recommendations of the B & F
Committee. The change involved
adding $1,500 to the Circle's pro­posed
$5,395, making the Circle
budget total $6,950, a 15.75 per­cent
decrease from last year's
allocation.
After a long debate between the
Budget and Finance Committee's
minority and majority, the
majority group agreed to move up
the allocation.
The committee's minority
group which consisted of five
senators and two ex-officio
members of the committee, pre­sented
a resolution to the Senate
requesting that the Circle be
allowed to charge a nominal fee
Presidential
Inauguration
Scheduled
Inaugural ceremonies for Pres­ident
James Martin have been
scheduled for Friday, April 27,
with activities centered in the
new Student Activities Center
and Memorial Coliseum.
The day's events will begin at
10:30 a.m. in the Student Activi­ties
Center with an address by
Edward Bloustein, president of
Rutgers University, and chair­man
of the National Association
of State Universities and Land-
Grant Colleges.
The 2:30 p.m. inaugural instal­lation
will be held in the coli
seum. A reception in the Student
Activities Center will follow,
capping the day's activities.
Serving on the inaugural
committee are Chairman John
Denson, representing the board
of trustees; former interim presi­dent,
Wilford Bailey; former pres­ident,
Harry Phapott; Curt Peterv
son, chairman of the university
senate; David Herrick, SGA pres­ident;
and Emily Leisehuck,
committee vice chairman. From
the Montgomery campus, Chan­cellor
James Williams; Bradley
Moody, president of the faculty
council; and Noland McMillian,
MJAPWWdfnt;,.;......... ,;;;•; \. ; v;
for the magazine. Chairman of
the off-campus committee, John
Stein said, "Charging for the Cir­cle
would be an effort to maintain
partial self-sufficiency."
The original allocation would
make it necessary for the Circle to
be printed in tabloid form and on
newsprint. With the additional
$1,500, the minority said, the
magazine could be printed on
higher quality paper.
The Senate did not pass the
resolution presented by the
minority committee, but they did
add the additional $1,500, which
will enable the Circle to decide
which format they are to use.
In other action, the Senate
passed two resolutions and one
bill. The first resolution passed
was from Mark Kantor, off-campus
senator. It stated that all
publications that are supported
by student activity fees should be
written in a spirit of responsibil­ity
so as to reflect credit upon the
college as an institution and
upon the student body. Kantor
said, "We would like to see the
editors do it this way. We're not
editing it, its up to the editor."
The other resolution passed
was presented by Lisa Brockway,
Arts and Science Senator,
requesting that the Circle serve
the University as a general inter­est
magazine.
The resolution further stated
that the Senate urges the Com­munications
Board to set guide­lines
in order to assure that the
magazine fulfills its obligations
to serve as a general interest
magazine for the students of
Auburn University. The Com­munications
Board will meet
tonight to discuss the Senate's
resolutions.

Unequal wages
topic of state bill
By Missy Harris
Assistant News Editor
A bill designed to check alleged
sex discrimination in salaries of
female faculty members at state
four-year institutions has been
introduced into the Alabama
Senate.
The bill's purpose, said spon­soring
Senator Ann Bedsole of
Mobile, is to require every four-year
institution to report the
amounts paid to male and female
faculty members.
Bedsole said she initiated the
bill after reading of existing pay
disparities between male and
female faculty members.
"The Chronicle(of Higher Edu-cation)
listed the discrepancies in
every rank in every state," the
Republican senator told The
Montgomery Advertiser.
"Women make less than men.
That's not right."
Average faculty salaries, by
rank and sex, of Auburn Univer­sity
were published in the Jan. 18
Chronicle of Higher Education.
The information, based on the
1982-83 academic year, was col­lected
by the National Center for
Educational Statistics.
The Chronicle reported the fol­lowing
average salaries: Male
full professors earn $34,800 a
year; female full professors earn
$31,600. For male associate pro­fessors,
the average salary is
$27,700; for comparable female
positions the average salary is
$26,300.
Male assistant professors earn
$23,700; female assistant profes­sors
earn $21,500. Instructors are
paid $16,500; female instructors
are paid $16,100.
If Bedsole's bill is passed, Ala­bama
will be the first state to
establish guidelines for equal pay
for college faculty members, she
said.
The bill's chances for approval
by the Senate are good since Bed-sole
has garnered the endorse­ment
of every member of the
Senate Education Committee, as
well as 18 other senators.
Sherida Downer, coordinator
of the Auburn Women's Caucus,
said a study of Alabama's four-year
institutions revealed that
women make 58 cents for every
dollar men make.
"And it's not because there are
more men in higher paying posi­tions,"
asserted Downer.
Jim Buford, a management
scientist with the Auburn Uni­versity
Cooperative Extension
Service and a compensation spe­cialist,
said, "At any university,
the issue is over' 'comparable
worth' as much as equal pay.
"A lot of civil rights battles are
fought by ignorant people," he
said, because the "popular
issues" of equal pay are not the
real issues.
Equal pay for equal work,
regardless of sex, was estab­lished
as law by the Civil Rights
Act of 1963, he explained. Buford
said the source of controversy is
not over the equal pay for equal
work requirement, but over the
"doctrine of comparable worth,"
which some economic authorities
have called the major money
issue of the 1980s.
The comparable worth concept
calls for dissimilar jobs to com­mand
equal salaries if the skills,
responsibility, hazards, and
mental and physical efforts
required of each job are of equal
value to the employer.
"Employers have said you
can't compare apples and
oranges," Buford stated. "Wo­men
have said you can, because
jobs have a certain value to an
organization."
Buford said the idea of com­parable
worth is a "gray area,"
one reason being that "pink col­lar"
jobs, traditionally female-dominated
positions such as
nursing and clerical jobs, com­prise
a whole group of employees
paid less than traditionally male-dominated
employment groups.
An example of a comparable
worth question would be whether
a teacher in home economics
should be paid as much as an
engineering teacher.
"One of the considerations you
have to think about in a univer­sity
is technology," which accel­erates
salaries, noted Buford.
The Cooperative Extension
Service is, in fact, one section on
campus which claims to have
erased all discriminatory salary
practices among its employees.
Dr. James Smith, head of Per­sonnel
and Development for the
Extension Service, said, "We
probably have the most complex
salary analysis system of any­body
on campus."
The system, which researchers
in the Extension Service created,
is called the "salary regression
model." It consists of feeding var­iables
such as race, sex, tenure,

"I've been to Iowa. I've been to
New Hampshire, and I'm glad to
be right here in Alabama," said
Sen. John H. Glenn Jr., in a
recent speech to Alabama state
delegates.
Glenn, who spoke to a
standing-room-only crowd at Mr.
J's Family Restaurant last
Thursday night described the
Opelika crowd as "a bunch of
great people."
Glenn, who referred to himself
as "the new underdog" of the
Democratic party, criticized the
Reagan Administration for cut­ting
back on research and devel­opment.
Glenn emphasizes the
"innovation, inventiveness and
basic research that has kept us
ahead of the rest of the world,"
adding, "That's going to be our
key to the future."
Glenn, a veteran of the Marine
Corps, NASA, private business
and the U.S. Senate stressed the
diversity of his past as an edge
over the other Democratic prim­ary
hopefuls. "When it comes to
having experience in resear­ch...
and Betting those goals that
the nation needs for the future I
don't believe there's any other
candidate that comes up to my
background and experience."
"I believe in this country and I
believe in its future," continued
Glenn, who outlined his proposed
tripartite plan for America's
future.
"We want to be strong, yet we
want to be a nation that's at
peace. We want to be a nation
that lives within its means, yet a
nation of compassion. We want to
be a nation that looks to the
future and says that education
and research are going to ma&'e
this nation or break this nation in
its competition with other people
around this world."
Glenn added at one point to the
partisan crowd "I have never felt
more at home anywhere in my
life than I have when I've come to
Alabama....Just thank goodness
there are parts of this country
where being proud of God, and
flag and motherhood and patriot­ism
and the accomplishments of
our nation are not dead. And
they're not dead here in Ala­bama,
I can guarantee you that!"
Glenn emphasized the impor­tance
of national strength, edu­cation
and research and foreign
policy before thanking the crowd.

John Glenn's daughter speaks
By Beth Hughes
Assistant News Editor
Lynn Glenn, daughter of
Democratic hopeful John Glenn,
was in Auburn yesterday cam­paigning
for her father, though
she made clear that she was
speaking on behalf of her father
because he is the best candidate,
not because he is her father.
Glenn commented that her
father has the "unique back­ground
and experience needed to
run this country, as well as the
unique leadership."
She added that our country
faces tremendous problems, both
More financial aid
needed every year
By Beth Hughes
Assistant News Editor
Approximately 50 percent of
Auburn's students are currently
receiving some type of financial
aid to assist in the costs of attend­ing
college. As these costs of edu­cation
rise higher each year,
more and more students are find­ing
it difficult to afford college.
According to Larry Ridgeway,
director of student financial aid
at Auburn, the demand for finan­cial
assistance has risen dramat­ically
in recent years. He said
there is a growing gap between
the need for aid and the money
available. "There is not a prob­lem
with scarcity of applications
but in the amount of money
available," he commented.
The Auburn University Stu­dent
Financial Aid Handbook
states that there are four main
types of aid available to students:
grants, scholarships, employ­ment
opportunities and loans.
Grants and scholarships are gifts
and do not have to be repaid. Stu­dents
who wish to work part will
be paid for their work, while
loans must be repaid after finish­ing
school.
Eligibility for the programs is
spelled out specifically in the
handbook. The following criteria
are included: the student must be
a U.S. citizen, must be enrolled or
accepted for enrollment at
Auburn, must be in good stand­ing
and must maintain satisfac­tory
progress in study.
The bulk of the money for scho­larships
comes out of contribu­tions
made by individuals,
organization or companies.
These are usually lump sums
given to the University to endow
scholarships or given annually to
support one. One example is the
Alumni Scholarship, funded by
$32,000 a year by the Auburn
Alumni Association. This pro­vides
for 40 scholarships a year
worth $800 each.
Financial aid money comes
mainly from the federal govern­ment
and the institution's match­ing
of funds. Ridgeway said the
recent restrictions placed by
Congress on federal funding for
education have not actually
changed the programs available,
but they have reduced the
number of students eligible for
aid. "From 1978-81, any student
could borrow money through
guaranteed loan programs
regardless of their family situa­tions,
1" said Ridgeway.
He commented that now, a stu­dent
whose family's income
exceeds $30,000 a year can not
qualify automatically. They
must show a need for aid, and
according to Ridgeway, this has
reduced the volume of students
receiving aid significantly.
"I think the students in the $40-
60,000 range are hurt the worst,"
said Ridgeway. He feels that
because they are in the middle
income range, they can afford to
pay for part of the college
expenses, but not all. "Students'
needs can't be met, and this is
making our job more difficult."
Ridgeway said that 10,000
applications had already been
mailed out for financial aid for
next year, in addition to the
hundreds given out over the desk
at the financial aid office, he
emphasized that March 15 is the
absolute deadline for scholar­ships
for next year and the prior­ity
date for distribution of aid.
Money will still be avilable after
that date, but it is given out on a
first come first-serve basis.

at home and overseas. She says
our major domestic problems are
with the economy and the budget
deficits, education, research and
development and programs such
as Medicare. She added that
problems in Lebanon, South
America and the arms talks
needed immediate attention.
"This range of problems
requires a leader like John
Glenn," says Glenn. "He is the
only moderate leader, the only
one who represents the main­stream
and majority of the
nation's views."
Glenn said that she was
shocked by the level of apathy in
the United States today. "People
seemed to be turned off to politics
because of the extremes in
government," commented Glenn.
"I don't agree with those
extremes between liberal and
conservative because a lot of
promises are made that are not
kept and that lets people down."
The candidate's daughter
commented that Super Tuesday
was a very important day for the
democratic hopefuls because the
southern states play a major role
in the campaign. "Thirty percent
of the delegates to the national
convention come from the twelve
southern states," said Glenn.
After her short speech, Glenn
answered questions from the stu­dents
and local citizens that
attended. Most people were inter­ested
in how John Glenn planned
on reducing the national deficit.
Glenn said her father's plans
include a tax search arch on both
personal and corporate taxes and
a delay in tax indexing. Accord­ing
to Glenn, this will provide $88
billion toward deficit reduction.
She added that John Glenn
would reduce defense spending
by $15 billion and would review
entitlement programs for things
such as military retirement.
She also said that the Glenn
administration would invest
money in education, research
and development. "This is the
cornerstone of the future," she
said. "This is where emphasis
needs to be placed."

Generations Fund aids faculty development
With less than a year to go, the
Auburn Generations Fund drive,
started late in 1980 with a goal of
$61.7 million, is going very well
with $54 million in gifts and
commitments, according to
George L. "Buck" Bradberry,
director of alumni and develop­ment
at Auburn University.
"The most exciting thing now
is the number of major commit­ments
we have received, those of
$100,000 or above," said Brad-berry,
"We have received 71 as of
this date, adding up to $31.7 mil­lion.
That's an average of $450
thousand per gift. Thirty-five of
these have been for a quarter of a
million or more, and six have
been for a million or more. That's
exceptional, even for a major pri­vate
university."
Areas in which the campaign
has gone especially well are
faculty development, scholar­ships
and equipment, noted
Bradberry.
"When all endowed chairs and
professorships that have been
committed are in place, we will
have added 24 of those—21 pro­fessorships
and three fully
endowed chairs. There is an out­side
chance that by the end of this

campaign on Dec. 31, we will
have doubled the approximately
30 professorships we had when
we first started this drive," said
Bradberry.
"We are well over our long
range goal of $2 million for scho­larships.
At this point in time we
have $3.3 million in commit­ments,
and that is not counting
$200 thousand from the Auburn
University Foundation and $1
million committed by the Board
of Trustees from the general
endowment fund to establish an
Opportunity Scholarship En­dowment.
Include that and over
the last three years this amounts
to $4.5 million, most of which will
be in place by the end of the cam­paign,"
stated Bradberry.
Expressing some surprise at
the degree of interest in scholar­ships,
Bradberry attributed the
success of this part of the cam­paign
to two factors.
"Alumni have a strong rela­tionship
with, and affection for,
students. Many worked their own
way through school and they
relate to the hard times students
can have. Also, some major cor­porations
have made large gifts
for endowed scholarships based
on merit. These corporations
have a vested interest in keeping
our best students in Alabama,"
explained Bradberry.
Another surprise has been the
large amount of equipment
donated to the University during
the campaign, sard Bradberry. So
far, there has been over $3 million
worth donated, nearly all of it
computer-related.
There are still exceptional
needs, Bradberry pointed out,
noting that the $2.5 million goal
for the library, a top priority in
the campaign, still lacks $1.4 mil­lion.
A $600 thousand challenge
pledge by Birmingham alumnus
J.W. Goodwin is expected to add
impetus to the drive.
"We are approaching $200
thousand in gifts, including one
for $100 thousand, toward
matching the challenge. We are
emphasizing that donors can
double the value of their gifts by
making their pledges before we
reach the $600 thousand chal­lenge.
This gives us an incentive
to put a lot of emphasis on this
part of the campaign," said
Bradberry.
Despite the large amount
received for scholarship endow­ment,
there are still areas need­ing
scholarship support. "Many
of the endowed scholarships are
naturally restricted to selected
areas, and we have not had a
broad range of support. Some
areas have not received any,"
noted Bradberry.
The campaign staff, along with
the administration and volun­teers,
is continuing to make con­tacts
and following up on major
proposals. Individual pledges are
being sought by Auburn students
who are conducting their second
year of phone-a-thon. A five-day
phone-a-thon conducted last year
produced $90 thousand in
pledges. Bradberry predicted
that the phone-a-thons during
two weeks of winter quarter and
two planned for spring will result
in a total of $300 thousand raised
by the students.

By Bill Perkins
Features Staff
Auburn University has a dis­tinctive
society which usually
appears to do nothing all day but
eat, sleep and play around.
The society is not made up of
students, but a colony of mon­keys.
The monkeys' domain is a
laboratory and outdoor cage si­tuated
in the pines near the
stadium.
The colony, which is main­tained
by the Psychology
Department, consists of 35 Rhe­sus
monkeys, also known as
macaques, from their Latin name
Macaca mulatte.
According to Dr. Charles M.
Rogers, an associate professor of
psychology who experiments
with the animals, the monkeys
have been here for "at least 20
years."
The animals are being used in
learning experiments. "I'm inter­ested
in solution strategies; how
they go about solving certain
problems," Rogers said.
The doctor sets the experi­ments
up, but the actual research
is done by undergraduates
enrolled in an independent study
course, PG 590.
"In one (program), they have to
make a series of responses before
they get a reward, which usually

asked to use information
gathered by one of their senses to
solve a problem involving
another; the senses being in this
case, vision and touch.
"I'm asking them to make a
comparison between something
they feel and something they
touch," said Rogers.
For instance, the monkey sub­ject
would be asked to feel a spoon
in a box, then look at a spoon and
respond as to whether the to
objects are the same. The purpose
of this experiment is to study "the
organization of the cortex," the
part of the brain involved in
learning and logic.
Most experiments require the
participation of usually no more
than two monkeys. This being
the case, Rogers explains the
presence of the colony: "It's a self-sustaining
colony. Most of the
ones here now were born here."
By having a colony available,
any problem experimentors
might have with an uncoopera­tive
animal is eliminated. If a
monkey doesn't catch on in a
suitable period of time, then
another can be selected to take its
place.
In describing the monkeys'
way of life, Rogers said they are
"rather aggressive animals in
their own group. The only strong
bond is between a mother and her
young, especially female young."
"Most of their social interac­tions
are aggressive," said Ro­gers.
The social group is held
together by a dominance hier­archy
which affects both male
and female.
Threats maintain the relation­ship
between the dominant and
submissive monkeys. The domi­nant
males are the first to eat,
although they sometimes allow
females to collect food, which is a
balanced diet pellet called Mon­key
Chow.
The upper echelon monkeys
show their dominance in ways

Experimental monkey peers out of cage
such as posture (the dominant
monkey keeps his tail up), and
eye contact (the submissive mon­key
should never initiate eye con­tact
with a dominant monkey).
If a submissive monkey breaks
one of the unwritten "laws" from
a distance, he receives only a
threatening look. But if he is close
enough to the offended party, the
dominant monkey will attack
and bite him, grading the sever­ity
of the bite to corroborate with
the severity of the insult.
Although the animals are
aggressive, they usually cause
little trouble. "They get out once
in a while," said Rogers. "They
usually stay in the area and we
try to lure them back—if not, we
run them until they get tired."
The monkeys do not get at­tached
to their experimentors,
although they do get used to
them. Perhaps in an effort to keep
a distance between the animals
and their human counterparts,
the monkeys are known by a
number tattooed across their
chests, although a few sport
names.
"We've given up tattooing the
young because of the possibility
of selling them," said Rogers.
"We try to sell the little ones. This
helps defray the cost of the
upkeep."
A young macaque can be sold
for between $400 and $800.
Rogers added that the sale of
the animals is restricted to other
recognized laboratories or zoos,
and are not available to the gen­eral
public.
"I don't know why anyone
would want one anyway," he
said, "They make terrible pets."

Aid available
The story's the same; only the
dates have changed.
Once again, the Financial Aid
Department of the University has
announced that many scholarships
have as yet gone unclaimed and, in
many cases, un-applied for.
The Department makes thie
announcement in hopes that stu­dents
who need financial assistance
will come forth to claim what could
belong to them.
However, this same announce­ment
will most probably have to be
made again next year.
Just why is there an overabun­dance
of scholarships available to
students? Is it because students are
too lazy to apply for the scholar­ships?
Is it because those giving
grants and scholarships don't
devote enough energy to publicizing
their award? Or is it because the
University does little to let students
know of these awards?
One thing is for sure, the answer is
not number three. The university
does everything possible to ensure
that each student knows what scho­larships
are available and how to
apply for them. A complete list is
kept on record in the Financial Aid
Office and is available to any stu­dent.
In addition, administrators
are concerned enough to let students
know when these scholarships are
just sitting there unused.
The blame also cannot be put on
the individual or organization giv­ing
the grant. They are putting up
the money, so they shouldn't be
expected to launch a full-scale pu­blic
relations campaign to publicize
it.
Thus, the real problem lies with
the students.
Every student at Auburn should
become familiar with what scholar­ships
are available. They are not all
based on academic ability or finan­cial
need. There is something for
everyone.
AH it would take is one phone call
or one trip over to the Financial Aid
Office to see just what is still
available.
It's not up to these people to come
tc you begging you to take their
money. It is up to you to seek them
out and prove yourself worthy of the
scholarship.
It's about time
Finally, the Budget and Finance
hearings are officially over. On
Thursday, the Student Senate
approved the recommended budget
in a close vote.
Most projects ended up in good
shape. The Glomerata and Tiger
Cub each received hefty increases,
while most of the other projects
received at least what they asked
for. That in itself makes B and F a
qualified success.
We say qualified because these
projects are in good shape only
because of the near extinction of the
Auburn Circle.
By now, everyone knows the story
behind the Circle controversy.
However, many lost track of the
drama and don't know how it ended.
To make a long story short, the
Circle was not zero-funded, but did
receive a huge decrease, the Senate
passed resolutions calling for the
Communications Board to put
stringent guidelines on the maga­zine,
suggesting it become a tabloid
publication and publish only 10-25
percent student literary works.
Don't give up yet, though, because
the Circle still has a chance to retain
its current quality and format.
We strongly urge the Communica­tions
Board of Auburn University to
vote not to implement the resolu­tions
as set forth by the SGA Senate.
In essence, we hope the Board comes
out in favor of the magazine as it
stands today, not as the SGA would
like to see it.
Of course, this action would virtu­ally
assure the proposed zero-funding
of the Circle again next
year, but it would also give the staff
of the magazine time to show that
students do like it as it is.
Maybe, just maybe, this would
have some sort of effect upon our
student-elected senators next year.
Plainsman bids adieu to two
It is with great regret that The
Plainsman bids goodbye to two edi­tors
next quarter.
Camille Cashwell and Mike Mar­shall
are both leaving the safe con­fines
of the Foy Union basement to
brave the real world. Camille i s grad­uating
and searching for a job, and
Mike is off to do his internship
before he looks for work.
Camille has spei t the past two
quarters as our associate editor,
designing all of the inside pages for
everyone to enjoy. It i s no easy task,
but t h e results of her work have been
terrific.
Mike has served The Plainsman
faithfully as sports editor, coming
up with an interesting column
nearly every week to fill up space on
the front of his section.
Without Mike's dedication and
desire to put out a top-notch product,
The Plainsman sports section could
very well have slipped into oblivion,
rather t h a n provide Auburn with its
most comprehensive sports cover­age.
The staff of The Plainsman wishes
these two "graduates" good luck,
and hope that they will s t a y in touch
with Auburn and The Plainsman.

Students need to vote
Alec
Harvey
As I sit here at my typewriter, 1 think
how glad I am that last week is over. Not
only was it a week filled with tests and
deadlines, but we at The Plainsman had
presidential candidates to worry about.
On Thursday, Senator John Glenn
spoke in Opelika. In addition, Gary Hart
and Walter Mondale were campaigning
all over the state of Alabama.
Now, we hear that the Rev. Jesse
Jackson will be coming to speak in
Auburn this afternoon.
Who would imagine that quaint little
old Auburn would see no less than two
major politicians come to town in one
week? I wouldn't.
All the hoopla is due to Alabama's
major part in next week's "Super Tues­day"
primaries. Eleven states are hold­ing
primary elections, and most of the
candidates view the Deep South as criti­cal
to their success.
Then what are these candidates doing
in and around Auburn? Don't they know
that most students around here are apa­thetic
when it comes to elections?
John Glenn obviously knows what he
is doing. Instead of speaking on campus
as he originally announced, he spoke in
Opelika instead, afraid that his speech
would draw too few students to matter.
He's probably right-students at
Auburn have a bad history when it
comes to voting.
Of course, it's difficult to gauge just
how many students vote in national
elections, but if our Student Government
Association elections are any indica­tion,
that percentage can't be very high.
Last year, only about 5,000 students
(or roughly 29 percent of the students
here at Auburn) voted in the SGA
elections.
Now, this figure doesn't seem too bad
until you consider that on election day,
every building on campus had a polling
place in front of it or in view from its
front door.
To vote in an SGA election doesn't
even require registering to vote. All it
entails is showing your I.D. and mark­ing
down you choices.
Many students claim that they really
have no choices in SGA elections-that it
doesn't really matter who they want to
vote for.
This argument is illogical, and the
best evidence for this is the recent con­troversy
involving the Circle magazine.
According to the Plainsman's poll, 95
percent of the campus disagreed with
the SGA zero-funding the publication.
However, if only 29 percent of these peo­ple
vote, how do they expect to get any­thing
changed?
Campus elections are the first week of
next quarter. I urge everyone reading
this column to find a copy of the election
guide distributed by the SGA and the
Plainsman, study it well and vote for the
candidates you think will best represent
your views in the'Student. Government
Association.
As has been pointed out in this news­paper
year after year after year, it is the
non voters who tend to scream the most
when they feel something is not right
with the SGA. They should use their
power to vote to change the SGA <nto
what they think it should be. That's the
point of being able to vote.
SGA elections are still three weeks.
away, so this column will probably not
have the impact I would have hoped it
would have. However, "Super Tuesday"
would be good practice for those who
plan on voting April 5.
Please get out and vote next Tuesday,
and prove we are not as apathetic as our
reputatation.
Auburn: There's no place like home
Melissa
Shubert
I remember the day I moved to
Auburn.
It was a sunshiny September after­noon,
almost perfect for the drive down.
The car was crammed full of things
that were absolutely necessary for a
freshman moving away from home to
college—five sets of matching towels
and sheets, extra batteries for the Eve-ryready
flashlight and a dull, brown
dorm refigerator.
And, although I was destined to reside
in Bullard Hall, complete with back-up
drains and unfinished shower stalls, it
was an exciting time. That is, until a few
days later after the family had gone and
the newness had worn off, and I realized
this wasn't a short trip, but an extended
four-year visit.
That's when the change began.
Slowly but surely all my ties and bonds
were transferred to Auburn. This is
where most of my friends are, where my
interests are concentrated and where my
immediate concerns (such as graduat­ing)
lie.
Although I still love and care very
deeply for everyone at "home," I realize
that my new home is in Auburn. What
once was will never be again. It's nice to
see family, and friends, but they no
longer play the crutch role they once did.
No matter how many times you run
home every quarter, and no matter how
extended the visit, the road just gets
longer and longer and you become more
and more concentrated in Auburn.
It's strange how one can be so mobile
and transient, yet still feel "at home"
somewhere. I've moved every year since
coming to Auburn and each year I've
been blessed with new and wonderful'
experiences and friends. Although I'm
still a very transient person, I know that,
at least for another year, my home will
be in Auburn. .
Perhaps it's not this way for some
people, but it has been this way for me.
And, as I look back, I sometimes
become sad when I realize that it has to
be this way. I know it is all a part of
growing up and preparing for the "real"
world of deadlines, overtime, changing
jobs and moving from city to city.
I'm still excited to go back to my "orig­inal"
home and see my family. They will
always remain dear to me. But I also
know deep down that place is no longer
"home." Somehow, I think they proba­bly
do too.
I still remember moving to Auburn
like it was yesterday. In some respects it
seems like it was only a few hours ago
that I was meeting my first new friends
here, and becoming acquainted with
Haley Center.
But it has been longer, and those
friendships are still strong. Perhaps
they are strained from the busy days of
college life, but they remain neverthe­less.
I still get lost in Haley Center and
have yet to find the proper parking zone.
And, the road home gets longer every
time, and the visits seem to get shorter.
But they mean even more.
Then, it's nice to return to Auburn and
know you're home—at least for a little
while.
MTV takes popular music into video age
Lynne
Hopkins
The art of music has been viewed
throughout the centuries as a medium
through which an artist can portray his
feelings and emotions.
Music has been able to take on many
forms to appeal to different kinds of
music lovers and most recently, it has
also been able to capture another
audience—the television viewer.
With the institution of Music Televi­sion
(MTV),the music lover is not only
able to hear the music, but he can see it
being performed along with a unique
interpretation of the song.
As an art, music tends to appeal to the
listener on a personal and emotional
basis .leaving him free to interpret the
music to how it may relate to his life
creating a special attachment for the
listener.
Now that MTV has become so promi­nent,
the listener no longer has to put
any thought into the meaning of the
music, because the songs accompanied
by their underlying meanings are now
presented to audiences, leaving little to
the imagination of the viewers.
Although this change makes it easier on
the audience, it implies that viewers are
not able to make their own judgements
on popular music.
Music also relates to many specific
memories and events that we have had
through our lives,and a particular song
can remind us of people and places that
have molded our personalities.
Now, instead of remembering meeting
a special person while listening to
Michael Jackson, visions of dead people
dancing around in a graveyard may
become more prominent.
It would be depressing to imagine that
in a matter of a few years two young
lovers would find themselves cuddling
in front of a television set with one say­ing
to the other, "Oh, darling,they're
playing our video."
MTV has also been responsible for
turning mediocre bar bands into over­night
success stories through the use of
creative and inventive videos which
may or may not have any musical
quality.
Videos can also work against an artist
when they are done quickly and on a low
budget.
Because of this, the success or failure
of videos has a strong impact on
whether or not a song will receive sub­stantial
radio play or survive in record
sales.
As MTV becomes more popular, the
videos become more extravagant, not to
mention expensive. The cost to produce
a video can now be comparable to what
it would cost to make a short film. Videos
are now becoming more like short films
and can take up to 15 minutes for a sin­gle
story.
One of the worst things about MTV is
that it can become extremely addictive.
It is not unusual to find yourself sitting
down to watch one video and find your­self
still sitting there hours later, not
realizing it or accomplishing anything
in the meantime.
Television has had a way of determin­ing
what is fashionable and accepted in
today's society and MTV has often
taken the role of developing the future
stars of popular music,as well as the
latest trends of dance and dress.
In a sense MTV has dictated what
music is acceptable, leaving the viewer
feeling ignorant about his choice of his
own favorite music. There are enough
things around today which work toward
insulting our intelligence,and MTV is
just another example of this.

Cartoons getting
increasingly serious
It's been a slow and steady transition,
but I've noticed it more lately than ever
before. Cartoons I've read in newspap­ers
are becoming more serious and less
amusing.
I used to look forward to thumbing
through each daily newspaper, espe­cially
on weekends, to find the comics,
sit back, and have a few laughs. When
I'd get to an especially funny cartoon, I'd
read it aloud to anyone nearby who was
willing to enjoy it with me. I'd describe
the atmosphere and the positions of the
characters in each scene so that my lis­teners
could understand the situation
and receive the full impact, and we
would laugh until we hurt from laughter
after I read the punch line.
Now, I find myself regretting that I
ever read the cartoons, because I don't
find much to laugh about.
I agree that the cartoons on the editor­ial
pages need to be somewhat serious,
because the editorial pages' cartoons
serve to add to the seriousness rather
than create a false impression. The com­ics
(Blondie, Beetle Bailey, Snuffy
Smith, etc.) should attempt to relay mes­sages
as the editorial cartoons do, but in
a more humorous manner.
One reason why comics are read by
many people is that comics are easy to
relate to. The creators of the comic strips
often use personal experiences as their
sources; therefore, the characters are
usually easily identifiable, and the read­ers
are able to get the messages easily.
However, because comics seem to be
getting less comical and more serious
instead, the effect on the readers is
becoming increasingly adverse. Instead
of creating entertainment for them, the
comics are focusing on more dis­couraging
subjects.
I rarely read Andy Capp when he isn't
fighting with his wife or getting drunk
in a bar and regretting it afterwards.
Garfield, thefun-lovingcat, rarely wins
out over his opposition, and it takes a
great effort to get Dagwood off the couch
to help Blondie around the house.
Since comics are not to be taken
seriously but rather as amusing, there is
less possibility of the readers taking the
subjects seriously. As a result, the dis­couraging
subjects, when treated in a
comical manner, seem amusing and
acceptable to the readers.
If the comics continue to get more
serious, they might as well become a
part of the editorial section instead of
being in a section of the newspaper by
themselves. Without the amusement of
the comics, the newspapers would lack
the variety needed to appeal to wide
circulation.
The comics, when presented in the
manner in which they should be, help to
balance the contents of the newspaper.
They should provide a section of laugh­ter,
not another area of the newspaper in
which the readers are faced with upset­ting
topics.
My years at Auburn
Graduation for moat brings to mind
more memories of the past than
anticipation of the future. For this kid,
things are no different. The views of an
immature freshman have often
recurred during this, my final quarter
here at Auburn.
Studying was a passing fancy which
could be done whenever suitable to my
schedules. World History and English
Composition were the least of my
worries. Now my grades wish I had
considered those classes a bit higher on
my list of priorities.
Then, of course, there was the usual
silliness that goes on in a freshman's
apartment. Tap dancing in the wee
hours of morning and playing in the
mud puddles at 2am. just because it was
there were only two of the stupid things I
accomplished as a freshman. But, how
could anyone make bigger fools of
themselves than to go to a fraternity
house on dead day of our very first
quarter with paper sacks over our
heads? Freshmen?
After surviving the first year without
probations or being kicked out of
University housing, I returned for more
punishment, only this time I knew the
ropes; I was a sophomore. I recall the
most major decision of my entire life was
made then. At a time when my brain was
trying to recover from being a freshman,
when drop and add was rapidly
approaching and the bank was
practically knocking at my door to try
and straighten out an otherwise
confusing bank statement, I decided
journalism was the major for me.
Now my professors question my
decision. They aren't sure if the
journalism field is ready for a reporter
such as myself. My reply is simply, 'It's
too late now!"
For me, however, the field of
journalism has opened my eyes to more
than just Auburn—the loveliest village
of the plain. I was around The
Plainsman office as all the information,
good and bad, trickled in on our ex-
President Hanly Funderburk. I learned
what it took to make a staff of dedicated
reporters. I hate to give up the feeling of
being a part of everything, beginning to
end, of such a great publication.
It was my junior year at The
Plainsman that the Funderburk
controversy occurred. What was it? Who
knows? It was an episode of Auburn
history which will not be forgotten.
Every division of a unified university
was divided with each pointing the
accusatory finger at the other. But
dedication and careful writing is what it
took to dig for a story which was
unwilling to be told.
That same year across the state of
Alabama emerged a new champion. The
Auburn Tigers defeated the Alabama
Crimson Tide for the first time in ten
years, a tradition which will hopefully
continue to be a part of Auburn football.
(But I still like it even more when the
Tigers defeat the Georgia Bulldogs.)
What could have been better for this,
my senior year at Auburn, than a
football victory over both Georgia and
Alabama, making Auburn SEC
Champions and securing a trip to New
Orleans? Pat O'Brian's was awesome,
and the game was breathtaking. What
do the pollsters know? They're only
journalists .anyway-'
With this being the end and the
beginning at the same time, the
memories never seem to cease. Auburn
has meant a place to grow intellectually
and learn more about the different kinds
of people of the world. The heartbreaks
we suffer don't seem to compare with the
friends we've made.
Auburn is a great institution with
much experience for those wishing to
test the waters of a major university. I
wish all students to learn as much as I
while at the same time gaining an
education. In the words of one of my
professors when he was at this stage in
his life, my only objection to graduation
is that "I have not captured Auburn;
there is more."
Plainsman erred with Millman
Editor, The Plainsman:
I was very disappointed in the Editor's
Note to Professor Millman's letter in the
February 23 issue of The Plainsman.
Her letter had pointed out an editing or
proofreading error from an earlier issue.
The Editor's Note said that the letter
was submitted with 12 errors. That may
be true, but the response by the editor or
someone on his staff was uncalled for.
Pointing a finger at someone else's mis­take
does not excuse your own mistake.
As a former editor of The Plainsman
(1969-70), I am well acquainted with the
problems of editing a large newspaper
each week. I can still remember how
former journalism professor P.C. Bur­nett
would "cut" each issue to pieces in
his copyediting class. However, the
painful experience was valuable
because I learned how to be a better wri­ter
and editor.
It will never be possible to eliminate
all the mistakes that appear in The
Plainsman as long as it is produced by
students who are still learning the
newspaper craft. However, there is
something else that should be learned
besides the difference between "rein"
and "reign." The staff needs to learn
how to accept criticism gracefully and
maturely.
As long as you write, you will make
mistakes. As long as you make mis­takes,
someone else will point them out.
Accept the criticism and learn from it.
But no more cheap shots. It's unbecom­ing
the great tradition of The Auburn
Plainsman.

When It reins, it pores!
Editor, The Plainsman:
When it reins, it pores, and now confu­sion
really rains! If "Martin takes reigns
of A.U." (Thursday, Feb. 16), does that
mean the end of democracy at our cher­ished
institution? Will the monarchy at
least be constitutuional, so that students
can continue to go to the poles?
Faculty, to, are concerned, for if Mar­tin
"reigns," we are already polls apart.
Maybe you need to add another proof­reader
at "The Plainsman". Too heads
are better than won!

This is the last Plainsman before the
Student Government Association's elec­tions
for 1984-85 on April 5, so this is my
only chance to comment on the
elections.
The SGA does few constructive things
(i.e., public relations for the University
and the printing of bumper stickers for
the annual blood drive) and more often
than not, doesn't effect the student at all
except through the distribution of stu­dent
activity fees generally allocated by
the Budget and Finance Committee (the
committee which dominated the
Plainsman's front page all last month).
For this reason alone, it is imperative
that competent students are elected to
the SGA, because they do effect you.
One example of the mentality of past
senators who have served on this com­mittee
can be summed up in a quote by
one such senator who said, there is no
need to get in touch with our constitut-ency
because the students elected us and
therefore we are to make decisions for
the students because they don't know
what is going on here.
Shocking? Hardly, considering most
people elected to the SGA are done so by
popularity and not according to qualifi­cations.
All you have to do is look at their
platforms to see if they are qualified (the
platforms can be found in the SGA's
election tabloid to be distributed the first
of next quarter.
People always complain that the SGA
is controlled by the Greeks. It is true that
almost everyone who runs in the elec­tions
is Greek, but it is also true that
independents choose not to run and
therefore have no right to complain.
Furthermore, considering Greeks
comprise less than 30 percent of the stu­dents,
independents have no excuse for
not dominating elections by sheer
numbers of votes.
However, let us go back to the compet­ency
of our SGA. One senator who
served as an ex-offico member of B & F
committee has in his term of office (and
he's running for reelection) made some
startling comments.
When discussing the Circle, he said,
how can you justify spending $9,000 for
30 people? (He apparently was referring
to the Circle's student staff and not the
number of issues picked up at
distribution.)
This comment was followed with, I
turned a story into the Circle and never
saw it again. (Oh, the harsh realities of
rejection.)
Another such senator on the commit­tee
when discussing the differences
between two organizations said, I see a
overlap between the Performing Arts
and Fine Arts Committees. Yes, folklore
and Shakespeare sound the same to me!
That's right. "To be or not to be; do see
do, don't you see. Swing you partner
'round to me, then get the hell to a
nunnery."
One should hope that the average
mentality of Auburn's students is not
comparable to that of these students.
When questioning the loyalty of sena­tors
to their constituency;0one need look
no further than the past B & F commit­tee,
where the Arts and Sciences senator,
Ken Guin, and the Architecture and
Fine Arts senator, Julie Harbarger
voted against the Circle. This was a slap
in the face to their respective
constituencies.
When the budget was presented to the
SGA, Julie HarBarger, chairman of the
B & F Committee said that the people
who voted for this allocation (the Circle
in tabloid form) have been on the Senate
twice. They have more experience than
these boys. The boys she was referring to
are the senators like John Stein (who is
running for reelection) who opposed the
Circle being printed in tabloid form.
How can this be prevented in the
future? By the close scrutinization of the
candidate's platforms and by asking
these candidates questions.
During the Circle controversy, 3,000
students signed petitions in support of
the Circle. If they really want to support
Auburn's general interest magazine,
they would vote for candidates who
equally support the Circle.
For starters, of the top four positions
to be elected on Thursday, these candi­dates
have actively supported the Circle:
for SGA president, Chris Christian;
SGA vice president, Chuck Ledbetter;
SGA treasurer, Doug Bever'^'; and
Plainsman editor, Lynne Hopkins.
You have the power to use elections for
your own advantage. Why not do so and
elect sincere people who will serve the
University instead of electing mediocre
students who only want to serve
themselves.

U.S. should support democracy
Editor, The Plainsman:
The United States should support
democracy in our foreign endeavors.
A case in point is Lebanon. We made a
mistake. We should have backed the
Shiite Moslems and not the Christian
dominated government of Amin
Gemayel.
The Moslems are fighting against
minority tyranny. The Christians are
not a majority, and they are losing to
popular forces of the Moslems. Unfortu­nately,
we (the American government)
have driven the Moslems into the
Russian-Syrian extremist axis. This is
because of many years of American pol­icy
errors and miscalculations.
Where we established democracy by
force in Grenada and therefore helped
the majority of the island's population,
in Lebanon we supported the tyrants
and ended our involvement with over
200 Marines who died for no purpose.
Our casualities in Grenada can and
must be justified on the basis that they
died fighting injustice and establishing
democracy. How will history view;our
dead in Lebanon?
To maintain our credibility in the
world and present a choice of freedom,
justice and democracy, we must be on
the side of right everywhere. The term
"Arsenal of Democracy" should be a
goal we live up to today. Mere lip service
will not convince the world community.
Our actions must be to support those
who resist tyrants.
We should give aid to the Afghanis,
the contras of Nicaragua, the Shiite
Druze and other "true" freedom fighters.
Only if the world can be made safe for
democracy can the human race "free
itself from the specter of nuclear wea­pons.
The world must see'a clear moral
difference between ourselves and the
U.S.S.R. We must be prepared to be mor­ally
correct. We must be able to give the
world a choice.
Communism is not the answer. Democ­racy
is the only answer to tyrants. A
morally correct and armed population,
working within the framework of laws to
protect individuals and minorities is the
only solution. You may not agree with
me; however, free speech is what democ­racy
is all about. The free exchange of
ideas and information that we have in
the U.S. should be supported in all
nations. It is something to think about.

Good things, small packages
Tiny computer chips power high-tech advances
By Lynne Haynet
News Staff
They are the fascinating
accomplishments of the pheno­menon
of modern technology.
They let machines store mil­lions
of pieces of information for
recall at the touch of a keyboard.
They make your microwave oven
bake a potato in five minutes.
They make your car talk to you.
They allow astronauts, hundreds
of thousands of miles in space,
talk to people on earth. They
make your new digital dish­washer
clean your pots and pans
technologically. And they make
those mysterious little lights on
your stereo flick on and off while
you jam to your favorite music.
They are computer chips. But
how do you make them?
Dr. Richard Jaeger, professor
of electronics at Auburn Univer­sity,
suggests five steps in pro­ducing
a chip.
First, he said the planned chip
must be drawn on paper,
hundreds of times the size it will
be on completion. It is a tedious
process—laying out the circuit
transistor by transistor, level on
top of level, until the map of the
chip is completed. Then, it looks
like an electric power station you
might see in a field near a well-developed
community.
The chip is made of transistors
and electrical paths. Industrial
labs can now put up to one mil­lion
transistors on a single chip,
and with the further development
of miniaturization, Jaeger said
they should be able to put 100 mil­lion
of these devices on a circuit
before reaching any physical
limits.
Each transistor is composed of
different layers, he continued.
The simpler chips have only five
layers, and the complex indus­trial
circuits have three times
that amount. On the drawing,
each of these levels is a different
color.
Next, Jaeger said the layout is
sent through a Computer-Aided
Design System (CAD) which
checks the drawing against
about 50 design rules, such as
improper overlapping of metal,
aluminum wires being too close
together, and contact holes too
close to the edge of the circuit.
If any of these rules are broken,
the professor said the layout will
have to be corrected or redrawn.
Jaeger's third step in produc­ing
a chip is generating a tape for
each mask (level) of the circuit.
To do this, a Pattern Generator
and a Step and Repeat Camera
are used to photograph the image
of the circuit onto a clear, thin
glass slide.
The Pattern Generator draws
the image off the CAD onto a
photographic plate, producing an
exact replica of the circuit at 10
times its final size, Jaeger said.
The Step and Repeat Camera
then reduces the image to its final
size and reproduces it many
times on the glass slide. Jaeger
said a separate slide is used for
each level of the circuit.
One slide, which usually has
two-and-a-half or three-and-a-half
inches-squared of mask sur­face,
may have up to thousands
of dies (each image of the circuit)
on it, Jaeger said.
And because a circuit image
can be reproduced on a single
mask so many times, the cost of
New math class relates
science to the humanities
By Susan Hurst
Assistant N e w s Editor
A course designed to interrelate
the sciences and the humanities
will be offered spring quarter by
the Math Department.
The course, This Mathemat-ized
World (MH 491), is intended
to help students understand the
use and the effects of mathemat­ics
in the modern world, accord­ing
to Dr. Jack Brown, head of
the Math Department.
"It is more of a humanities and
philosophy-of-science course," he
said. "For students in the human
ities, it would give them an idea
about mathematics and its role in
the future. It would give the math
students an idea of how mathe­matics
relates to the human­ities."
The course, which will only be
offered next quarter, will be
taught by Dr. Phillip J. Davis, a
visiting professor from Brown
University. Davis received a
Ph.D. in mathematics from
Harvard University and has writ­ten
a number of books on mathe­matics
and its "application. His
most recent book, The Mathemat­ical
Experience, won the Ameri­can
Book Award for the best book
on science published in 1982.

producing chips is decreasing.
He estimated the total cost of
processing a slide of chips to be
between $250 and $500, no matter
how many dies are set on each
one. Accordingly, the more dies
that are placed on a slide, the
lower the cost per chip will be. If a
slide has 400 image reproduc­tions
on it, the cost per chip would
be about $1.
Step Four is to reproduce the
images on the slide onto a wafer
(the base the chip is built on)
using photolithography. It is in
this step that the actual transis­tors
are made.
In photolithography, Jaeger
said an intense beam of light is
concentrated onto the slide,
reproducing a picture of the cir­cuit
onto the wafer. The process is
repeated for each mask of the
circuit.
After each level is transferred
onto the wafer, Jaeger said it is
processed before the next mask is
added. There are three methods
of processing:
—Diffusion is the most tradi­tional
mean of processing. In this
method, an impurity is put on the
surface of the wafer at between
900 to 1,200 degrees centigrade. A
different impurity is used accord­ing
to the level of the circuit that
i s being processed, usually
beginning with silicon dioxide.
—Ion implantation is the next
mean of processing. In this
method the impurity is acceler­ated
to a high velocity with a
high-voltage accelerator and
shot at the wafer. Ion implanta­tion
is easier to control than dif­fusion
and a wider variety of
impurities may be used on the
wafer.
—A combination of these two
methods is the third way to pro­cess
the masks. The methods
may be alternated—one method
used on one level and the other
method used on the next—or they
may be used in combination, with
ion implantation executed first
and diffusion being done on top
of it.
The final level that is processed
uses a metal instead of an impur­ity,
Jaeger said. The entire sur­face
of the wafer is covered with
the metal, and the metal that is
not wanted on the wafer is then
etched away. He said using metal
on the final level interconnects
the masks of transistors which
have already been processed onto
the wafer.
Processing a circuit takes
about eight hours per level,
Jaeger said. To process a five-mask
circuit takes seven to 10
days, and it takes four to six
weeks, working five days per
week, to process a 15-level circuit.
Jaeger's final step in producing
a chip is to mount the circuit onto
the package—a small rectang­ular
case that is installed into the
system in which th chip will func­tion,
such as a computer or a
television.
Since the chips are mass pro­duced
on a single wafer, they
must be cut apart. Then, tiny,
gold wires called pins, which are
smaller than a strand of human
hair, are used to bond the chip
into the package. Jaeger said the
number of pins used determines
the amount of signals the chip
can transfer.
IBM has modules with up to
1,000 pins in them, but he said a
system can have as few as eight.
Electron beams and X rays,
tools which aid in shrinking the
circuit image that is photgraphed
onto the slides, are making
memory easier and easier to
expand. Jaeger said that because
chips can be made smaller, each
package takes up less space in the
computer system and more
modules can be inserted into this
space.
Industry is using these tools to
shrink a single transistor to one
square micron—one millionth of
a meter—and a die to one square
one-hundredth of a meter, or
10,000 microns, Jaeger said.
But making circuits smaller
does not mean they cannot hold
as much information as their
larger predecessors. He said it
makes them work faster and con­sume
less power.
The science that is responsible
for developing the c h i p -
microelectronics—began to
break open in the mid-1960s,
about the same time Jaeger
entered graduate school.
"I was lucky," Jaeger said, "to
get into (microelectronics) when I
did."
Jaeger entered graduate school
at the University of Florida at the
same time it received a govern­ment
grant to deVelop an "excel­lence
program" in electronics.
There he studied the solid state
sciences.
After finishing at the Univer­sity
of Florida, Jaeger said he
went to IBM, where he did every­thing
from designing computers
to building chips "from top to
bottom."
And when asked if he really
likes his work, his silvery-white
mustache curled upward, his
pool-blue eyes d anced and he said
"Yeah, 1 really like my work."

Survey: Student's conservatism increases
By Lynne Hopkins
News Editor
Auburn University students
are following a nationwide trend
toward a more conservative
ideology and are identifying
themselves with the Republican
party, according to a recent polit­ical
science survey.
According to the survey
results, compiled by Professor
Gerald Johnson's Political Par­ties
class, most students classify
themselves as Republican (51
percent) with 20 percent Demo­crat
and 22 percent Independent.
Johnson said that one of the most
interesting things the survey
showed was that the number of
students who classify themselves
as Independents increases from
freshman to seniors.
In 1980 a nationwide survey
was printed in the Chronicle of
Higher Education which showed
that 77 percent of the freshmen
entering college classified them­selves
as moderate to extremely
conservative in their political
views, and 80 percent of Auburn
students said they felt the same
way.
Most students questioned said
that they felt ideology was the
biggest difference between the
two parties. Johnson said that
ideology as defined by the stu­dent
responses was general.
He noted that the conservative
ideology which was favored by
the students is the set of values
which Reagan has articulated
and are "generally wholesome,
secure, protected, productive and
a moral way of life." He added
that these values are attached to
the Reagan administration but
may no be attached to the values
of the Republican party and that
this would be the deciding factor
for realignment.

With a growing movement
toward the conservative ideol­ogy,
Johnson said, students are
classifying themselves as Repub­lican
becuase it more closely
represents this ideology and not
because of party positions on
issues.
If the party attachment as
indicated by the survey remains
the same, he said, it is possible to
foresee the formation of a two-party
system if there is a rea­lignment
to the Republican party
in the South.
"The South would be greatly
strengthened with a two-party
system," he said. "Many out­comes
and values are absent in a
one-party state."
Johnson added that if this re­alignment
resulted along clearly
defined class and race lines it
could result in parties "playing
special interest roles which
would increase the potential for
conflict."
While a majority of students
felt that America need political
parties, 87 percent said that it is
best to choose a candidate
regardless of the party affiliation.
When surveying the students
many characteristics were taken
into consideration including sex,
class, curriculum, Greek affilia­tion,
parents' income, ideology
and the size of the community
when growing up which all affect
the students' political attitudes.
Students in the School of Educa­tion
appeared to be the least
interested in political parties
with students in Architecture
and Fine Arts being more liberal
and more politically active. One
hundred percent of the students
surveyed in the School of Nurs­ing
identified themselves as
Republicans.
Johnson said the survey
results were accurate and
reflected a possible discrpency of
a few percentage points.
He used the results in taping a
television program about the
"Super Tuesday" election for
Educational Television in Mont­gomery
Tuesday night. The
results have also been used for a
story in the Birmingham News
and a WEGL-FM talk show.
The survey was conducted so
the students could receive first­hand
information about political
parties and to use the informa­tion
for writing a term paper deal­ing
with the future of political
parties in America.
The class contacted 158 stu­dents
in eight different curricula
using computer printouts from
institutional analysis.
Johnson said he does not con­duct
surveys such as this in many
of his classes because with
Auburn being on the quarter sys­tem
it is hard to find time to suffi­ciently
analyze the results.

Gonorrhea state's number one health problem
By Larry Young
Features Staff
"Venereal disease is now con­sidered
the number one health
problem in Alabama," said Betty
McCreery of the Lee County
Health Department. "It used to
be tuberculosis, but VD is now the
main cummunicable disease."
There are several types of vene­real
disease, the most common
being gonorrhea. The number of
cases reported each year, 1.6 to 2
million, is second only to the
common cold among communi­cable
diseases.
And the problem has reached
epidemic proportions in Lee
County, said McCreery. Last
year in Lee County, the number
of cases reported jumped 60 per­cent.
In 1983, there were 321 cases
reported, compared to 194 in
1982.
But while gonorrhea increased,
syphilis, another venereal dis­ease,
remained in small number.
There were 11 cases reported in
Lee County in 1982 and 11 in
. 1983.

Faculty, students honored
at intra-school reception
By Jeff Char nock
Research Editor
Ten faculty members and 10
students were honored last
Thursday by bjing selected as
outstanding in their respective
schools.
The faculty members were
nominated and voted on by the
students in their schools, and the
students were selected in a recip­rocal
manner by their teachers.
The Honors Day Reception was
organized by Director of Intra-
School Relations Steve Gates.
Martin had a few words for the
audience of mainly teachers and
school officers. He said that pro­grams
honoring achievement in
academics are necessary and we
should be proud of these dedi­cated
teachers and students.
Martin also said that he had
just returned from Mobile .where
he had been involved in a meet­ing
discussing the issue of for­mula
funding for state univer­sities.
According to Martin, Auburn
has been punished in the area of
funding by its success and
achievement. He said he hoped
that the formula funding would
eliminate the problem.
The faculty members honored
at the reception were Dr. William
Mason, School of Agriculture;
Professor Steve Williams, School
of Architecture and Fine Arts; Dr.
James Hammersmith, School of
Arts and Sciences; Mrs. Atha
Beard, School of Business; Dr.
Wiley Hartzog, School of Educa­tion;
Dr. Thomas Shumpert,
School of Engineering; Susan
Weaver, School of Economics; Dr.
Carol Thompson, School of Nurs­ing;
Dr. Abram Brubaker, School
of Pharmacy; and Dr. Guy Pid-geon,
School of Veterinary
Medicine.
The students awarded were
Nancy Bass, William Renkl,
Rebecca Stover, Susan McCul-lers,
Renee Gardner, Gregg Carr,
Lisa Varner, Susan Lytle, Wil­liam
Whitner, and Mrs. Louise
Conrad.
The students are listed in the
same order as the faculty
members with regard to their
schools.

diseases, so they ignore the
symptoms and spread the dis­eases
to others. It is estimated
that every 15 seconds, a new case
occurs in the United States.
Another problem is that
infected people don't always tell
their partners.
"We try to get infected patients
to inform their partners and get
them to come in for an examina­tion,"
McCreery said. Surpris­ingly,
a good many of the
partners do come in. It's often a
big step for people just to come in.
A lot of them are embarrassed or
are afraid others will find out.
"But this is a confidential
clinic. We notify no one. Anyone
14 or older can come in for treat­ment,
and we will contact no one.
We even use a number system
when they come into the clinic so
we won't have to call out their
names."
Once a patient is in the clinic,
the examination and treatment
are fairly quick and simple with
no charge for services. In possible
cases of gonorrhea, a culture is
taken and in cases of syphilis, a
blood test usually is done. The
results often are back within a
week, but it is not unusual for
treatment to have been admini­stered
on the initial visit, said
McCreery. She said some
patients are hesitant to make
return visits.
The diseases are usually
treated with antibiotics, most
often penicillin.
Gonorrhea can cause serious
damage, if left untreated. Steril­ity,
urinary complications, crip­pling
gonococcal arthritis and
blindness occur even before a
person knows that he has it.
Gonorrhea is transmitted dur­ing
sexual contact. It can't be
picked up from toilet seats, towels
or other articles.
In some cases, there are no
symptoms at all once infection
has occurred. Eighty percent of
the women infected don't know it,
and 10 percent of the men are
unaware of infection.
Even when symptoms occur,
they may disappear within a few
weeks, but the disease may
remain in the body. If infection is
even slightly suspected, medical
attention should be sought.
While syphilis is less common
than gonorrhea, 64,000 cases
reported nationally each year,
the consequences can be more
severe.
Syphilis is also very deceptive.
The symptoms often disappear
without treatment only to return
years late causing lasting da­mage.
If left untreated, it can
cause insanity, paralysis, blind­ness,
deafness, heart defects,
birth deformities or still birth and
sometimes death. Treatment
cannot cure any permanent
damage which has occurred.
Syphilis is almost always
transmitted by sexual contact,
but the organisms can also
spread by contact with broken
skin or a cut.
Herpes is another sexually
transmitted disease, but can also
be transmitted by hand contact.
Approximately 200,000 people
are infected each year, but accu­rate
records are not kept on
herpes.
"We do occasionally find
herpes," McCreery said. "But we
usually refer patients to a physi­cian
or have our clinic physician
write a prescription to relieve the
discomfort. There is still not a
cure for it."
In some cases, herpes sores
may never recur after the first
episode, but there may be occa­sional
flare-ups. There is also ai
increased risk of cervical cance
in women. Herpes can caus<
brain damage in babies o
infected women.
There is a treatment using
glucose derivative which is now
being tested, but there is nc
proven cure.
Several other less commoi
sexually-transmitted diseases d<
exist, and while some are mor<
serious than others, they al
require medical attention.
These diseases also recui
if contact with an infectec
partner happens again because
immunity usually can't be buil
up and no vaccination exists foi
them.
If you suspect you have any o:
the sexually transmitted di
seases, contact your persona
physician, or you can seek medi
cal attention from the Lee County
Health Department. There is nc
charge for services or medication
at the clinic, which takes VD
patients on Wednesdays from
a.m. to 10 a.m.

Bias
degrees held, position and merit
scores into a computer program
to determine why, if any, salary
difference exists.
The salary regression model
"tells us if there is any difference
in salary that can be attributed to
one of the factors," explained
Smith.
"When we say we give money
on merit, we mean that. There's
no buddy-buddy," said Smith.
"You hear Reagan say, 'merit
pay for teachers,' and I agree
with that. The problem is people
don't really want to do it right."
Smith expressed the belief that
continued from A-l
"most people on campus wouldn't
go to our system. It's really
rigid." The concept of academic
freedom is one reason faculty
salaries may not be so rigidly
determined, said Smith, noting
that academic freedom is not an
issue in the Cooperative Exten­sion
Service's wage system.
Although, he added, "There are
places in our system where you
can humanize."
Smith said groups from other
states have approached the
Extension Service for informa­tion
about starting this salary
system for their employees.

Simms to coordinate news for 1984 Olympics
Simms prepares for summer games Photography: Jay Sailors
By Shawn Sims
News Staff
Jack Simms, head of the Jour­nalism
Department at Auburn,
will be the coordinator of a
"newsgathering pool" consisting
of the Associated Press, United
Press International and Reuters
in the 1984 Summer Olympics in
Los Angeles.
Simms will have a 22-member
staff based at the main press cen­ter
and will cover 16 events. "I
think LA will be the biggest
Olympics we have ever had," he
said, "as far as the number of
participants and certainly the
press."
Simms, who has worked with
the AP for 23 years, has had
experience with the Summer
Olympics in Munich, Montreal
and Moscow.
During the 1972 Summer
Olympics in Munich, Simms was
coordinator of the Olympic desk
in New York City and was in
charge of collecting information
from the Games and distributing
it to AP wires all over the world.
He was later assigned as the
liaison for the AP to organize the
press for the 1976 Olympics in
Montreal. During the games he
was one of the two desk supervi­sors
in charge of newsgathering
for the AP.
In the 1980 Summer Olympics
in Moscow, Simms worked as
coordinator for the AP, UPI,
Reuters and Agence France
Presse covering 22 events.
"The Americans and British
were hassled a great deal,"
Simms said. His motel room was
bugged and frequently searched
by the KGB. Most of the Ameri­cans,
according to Simms, got
sick from the food and water. "It
was the worst assignment I had
ever been on."
Simms said the reason he
returns to the Olympics every
four years is that "it's keeping up
with what is going on and keep­ing
some contacts you have
established."
"I will see a lot of people out
there that I have known over the
years," he said, "that I would not
get to see any other time — people
I worked with."
Drinking water holds secret to sparkling smiles
By Darrel Roberts
News Staff
Adding fluoride to public water
systems is one of the best known
treatments for preventing cavi­ties,
and perhaps one of the most
controversial and misunderstood
methods as well.
For as little as 20 cents per per­son
per year, children can have
up to 65 percent fewer cavities, 20
percent of the teenagers can be
free from tooth decay, and adults
can have 45 to 50 percent fewer
decayed, missing or filled teeth.
Each dollar spent on fluoridation
can save as much as $50 on den­tal
bills, and drinking water is all
it takes.
Auburn began fluoridating its
water supply in 1962, which then
contained only zero to .2 parts
fluoride per million parts water.
To reach the best level prescribed
by research, James Estes,
Auburn water treatment superin­tendent,
said enough fluoride
was added to have one part fluo­ride
per million parts water.
Approximately $6,000 is spent
annually for the fluoride added.
This averages out to be approxi­mately
31 cents a pound.
Dr. Crawford A. Tatum, an
Opelika dentist, said he has
noticed a tremendous difference
between those who grew up
drinking fluoridated water than
those who did not. "My first 10 to
12 years I practiced without it,
and since then I've watched the
number of cavities decline," he
said.
Fluoridation of public water
systems began in the 40s, and
was proven in the 50s to reduce
tooth decay, man's most common
disease, by 60 percent. Nor has it
been proven that effect is caused
by the procedure.
The discovery of fluoride as a
treatment for tooth decay was
made by Dr. Frederick S. McDay,
a Colorado dentist who spent the
first 30 years of this century try­ing
to find the reason for the
staining of teeth in Colorado and
several southwestern states. He
found stains in people with a
high resistance to tooth decay,
and learned that it resulted from
a high concentration of fluoride
that occurred naturally in that
region.
Much of the controversy about
new drugs such as saccharin is
that there are no ways to study
the long-term effects of it. Fluo­ride
is an exception. It has
always occurred naturally in
water supplies, ranging from
several parts per million in some
regions of the Southwest to a
mere twentieth of a part in the
Northeast.
A 10-year study in Newburgh,
N. Y., was made to see if the delib­erate
addition of fluoride where
little existed would give some
benefit. The children of New­burgh
developed 60 percent less
decay than the children of King­ston,
a nearby city that agreed to
serve as a control city and con­tinue
using fluoride-deficient
water.
It has been labeled safe by the
American Dental Association,
American Medical Association,
National Institute of Dental
Health, and by the World Health
Organization. No official health
organization has ever differed
with these conclusions.
The only detriment can be the
staining of teeth where the fluo­ride
level is several times higher
than that recommended.
No studies have been made by
the Lee County Health Depart­ment
to determine the effective­ness
of fluoridated water in Lee
County.
Studies have been made by the
State Dental Health Association,
but were unable to be obtained in
time for publication.
Despite the overwhelming
proof of the safeness of drinking
fluoridated water, opposition has
prevented the fluoridation of pub-

An Air Force specialty van will
visit Auburn University March 9
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to acquaint
interested students with the var­ious
officer career opportunities
available in the Air Force.
The van contains a mini-theater
where visitors view an
eight minute multi-image audio­visual
presentation entitled
"Shaping the Future." The show
illustrates Air Force advance­ments
in high technology, par­ticularly
as it applies to main­taining
military readiness. It
includes progress in computer
simulation technology, aircraft
design and structural improve­ments,
new techniques for
improved communications sys­tems
and a brief look at Air Force
space operations.
An Air Force recruiter will be
available in the lounge end of the
van to answer questions, discuss
qualifications and provide pre­sentations
on available jobs.

lie supplies serving 70 million
compared to the 105 million who
do, according to Dr. Benjamin
Spock, the renowned baby doctor.
Spock said he was initially
opposed to the idea, but has
become a spokesman for the
cause because of the overwhelm­ing
evidence supporting the
safeness of fluoridated water.
Opponents consist of the John
Birch Society, which sees it as a
communist plot, and others who
emphasize free choice of health
care. These organizations receive
added clout from a few doctors
and dentists who back them up.
These groups appeal to the fear
of being poisoned, just as they did
during the controversy surround­ing
the chlorination of public
water supplies. The amount of
fluoride that can cause harm is
several times that recommended
for the prevention of tooth decay.
Half the substances people
ingest, such as vitamin D,
aspirin, salt and even water, are
dangerous if taken in large
enough quantities.
When a city or town is coitsider- *
ing fluoridation, opponents send
literature and letters to the city
council, mayor, other officials,
and to local newspapers urging
for the decision to be decided by a
less-informed popular vote rather
than a well-informed city council
and major.
Louie James, who was mayor
of Auburn in 1962 when fluorida­tion
began, said much of the con­troversy
in Auburn arose because
the public failed to keep informed
of what was going on by not read­ing
their newspapers.
He said many people became
angry because they felt they were
not notified of what was going
on. People who had moved to
Auburn from places where they
were exposed to fluoridated water
claimed that it caused them to
have allergies.
James said a board of doctors
and members of the health
department was set up to study
the effects of fluoridated water,
and found no reason for not
adding it to the water supply.
Dr. Joan Dickey, a recent den­tal
graduate, said the act of fluor­idating
public water supplies is
advocated in classes taught at
the University of Alabama in
Birmingham.
Explaining how fluoride
works, Dickey said when a per­son
eats sugar, it is broken down
into an acid biproduct by the
normal bacteria present in the
mouth.
This acid breaks down the
crystals that compose the enamel
in teeth if fluoride is not present.
When fluoride is present, it
forms crystals during clarifica­tion
that do not readily break
down in the presence of acid,
causing a reduction in tooth
decay.
Dickey said providing fluoride
in the public water system is a
excellent method of preventing
tooth decay for several reasons.
She said the optimal time to
prevent tooth decay is when the
teeth are calcifying before they
break the surface of the gum. The
first baby teeth begin to calcify
before a baby is born. The last to
form are the third molars that
may not complete calcification
until a person is 20.
With water fluoridation, she
said, one is assured continual
fluoridation for the developing
teeth throughout the entire
period.
After this period,, the benefits
of water fluoridation decreases,
although it does aid in the recal-cification
of small areas of decay.
Dickey said providing fluorida­tion
through the public water
system is the most economical
way to provide fluoride for an
entire community.
She said to provide topical fluo­ride
treatments for everyone who

Simms will arrive in Los
Angeles July 23 and will work
approximately 20 days.
Simms, a 1949 graduate of
Auburn in English/journalism
and former Plainsman editor,
received his master's degree from
Louisiana State University in
1951 and went to work for the AP
in Atlanta as a newsman the
same year.
Simms continued working for
the AP until 1974 in various posi­tions
including correspondent in
charge of the AP in Tampa, Fla.,
and Bureau Chief of Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massa­chusetts,
and Rhode Island.
From 1971-1974, he was Deputy
General Sports Editor in New
York City.
Simms "came home" to
Auburn in 1974 when he was
offered the job as head of the
newly formed Journalism Depart­ment.
"I had been trying to get
back to Auburn for 25 years,"
commented Simms.
Recently, Simms began work­ing
as a campus correspondent or
"stringer" for Sports Illustrated
magazine. He covers Auburn
basketball games and gives
information s.ych as quotes,
unusual happenings and plays
by outstanding players to the
magazine for its "round-up" of
college basketball.
