Twisters
catch AU
unprepared
By Beth Hughes
Assistant News Editor
As many as 10 tornadoes swept
across the state last Thursday
leaving 5 people dead, many
injured and hundreds of others
homeless. The twisters, accom­panied
by severe thunderstorms,
caused hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of damage.
Lee County was under a tor­nado
warning for about two
hours on Thursday and Auburn
was hard hit by the high winds
and torrential rain around 2 p.m.
Students and faculty in several
buildings on campus were evacu­ated
from classrooms and sent to
the basements for shelter, but
there were many more people in
other buildings that were not
aware of the threatening storm.
There are no uniform evacua­tion
plans on campus, but the
University police do. what they

Accreditation
appears likely
By Jeff Charnock
Research Editor
Officials quoted in a recent
Associated Press story say
Auburn is likely to get a 10-year
extension of its accredition,
adding that after studying the
campus conditions report, the
"overly negative tone" which
existed last year has been
eliminated.
Harold Wade, associate execu­tive
director of the Southern
Association of Colleges and
Schools, was quoted in the story
as saying, "I really believe they
have come a long way in over­coming
their problems, and they
are going to turn things com­pletely
around in short order."
Last year's decision to grant
Auburn only a one-year exten­sion
instead of the usual 10-years
was made because of the many
problems that plagued the Uni­versity's
administration last
December.
The problems attributed to
Hanly Funderburk's administra­tion,
the resignation of several
deans and department heads,
were seen to be some of the rea­sons
for the limited extension of
accreditation the article said-
While the AP article stated that
Auburn officials said last year
that accreditation is essential
because it is an indication that a
university meets certain aca­demic
standards, Dr. Taylor Lit­tleton
said last year's refusal for
full accreditation was because of
procedural problems not because
of the quality of instruction.
"Some confusion and loose
ends organizationally" were the
reasons Littleton gave for the
SACS decision on Auburn's
accreditation, but he feels that
with James E. Martin's appoint­ment
as president and his subse­quent
administration appoint­ments,
full accreditation will be
forthcoming.
"Martin's appointment has
been very relative to the accredi­tation
process because the new
administration offers a stability
that couldn't be achieved with an
interim administration," Lit­tleton
added.
Wade also said in the article
that the recent appointment of
Martin and other key adminis­trators
would satisfy a future
accreditation review committee.
"We view the steps that they've
taken in a very positive way.
They took immediate steps, and
those were steps that were
designed to address the problems
identified by their self-study
report and the team of visitors we
had there last spring," Wade
continued.
One important step in solving
the problems mentioned was the
appointment of George H. Emert
as executive vice president of the
University. Martin stressed that
Emert will be working to address
those problems spelled out in the
report issued by the SACS
committee.
The problems Emert will con­centrate
on include defining the
responsibilities of administra­tors
and working toward more
active recruitment of minority
students and faculty members.
Comm Board decides
new rules for 'Circle'
By Beth Hughes
Assistant News Editor
Policy statements governing
the publication of the Circle,
Auburn's student interest maga­zine,
were adopted by the Com­munications
Board in a recent
meeting, according to Grant
Davis, assistant dean of students
and a member of the board.
The statements were compiled
by an ad hoc committee formed at
the end of last quarter following
the controversy over the printing
of the magazine and its funding
for next year. The committee,
headed by Davis, investigated
the publication policies in order
to prevent such controversy in
the future.
The possibility of changing of
the format of the Circle, which
was not outlined in the policy
statement, was also discussed at
the meeting. Davis said that the
format will be an editorial
decision.

Going with the flow.
Fraternity antics, lost treasure paint mill's mystique
By Gwen Owens

Down By the Old Mill Stream
"A wonderful stream is the River
Time,
As it runs through the realms of
Tears,
With a faultless rhythm, and a
musical rhyme,
And a broader sweep, and a surge
sublime
As it blends with the ocean of
Years."
—Benjamin F. Taylor—The
Long Ago
The passing of each decade has
brought many changes to What-ley's
Mill on Lee County Road 43,
and Auburn students have
played a part in combining the
past and present of the old corn
mill first built in 1837.
James Mitchell was the first
proprietor of the mill just off
Moore's Mill Road, and origi­nally
it was called Mitchell's
Mill.
The mill was rebuilt in 1905,
and was later remodeled by its
first owner's great-great grand­son,
Milton Whatley. Besides
changing the name of the mill,
Whatley replaced the wooden
wheel with an eight-ton iron one.
The present owner of the mill,
Murphy Armor, bought it some­time
in the early 1960s.
It was not long after Armor
bought the mill and some 60 to 80
acres surrounding it, that a freez­ing
rain caused the dam above
. the mill to break. The force of the
ice water sent the iron wheel
down Odom Creek until it landed
on the shore 100 yards from the
gap left in the mill. It has not
been moved since.
Because the mill was not in
operation, Armor and his late
wife would "go there on week­ends."
He also recalls that it was
a "good place to have a fish fry or
a barbeque."
The Armors renovated the mill
without taking away from its
nostalgic character, and little
has been changed since Mrs.
Armor's death.
The once plain, practically
windowless storage house is now
painted red, its many added win­dows
trimmed in white. It now
has two small bedrooms, a sitting
room, a kitchen, two bathrooms
and a large room about 45 feet by
20 feet filled with a variety of
antiques.
Against one wall of the great
room stands an old poorly tuned
piano. A hodge-podge of sofas
and chairs is ready to accom­modate
any social gathering.
Their informality contrasts with
the dignity of the large, stone
fireplace crowned with a skill­fully
carved wooden mantel.
The antique dining room table
and six yellow-velvet cushioned
chairs surrounding it also
broaden the variety of the
furniture.
Even though furnishings
speak of yesterday, they are still
out of place in this barn-like
building that once stored bushels
of corn meal. A more drastic
anachronism is a set-up Monop­oly
game on a nearby coffee table.
The other building, the old mill
itself, has been converted into an
apartment for three Auburn Uni­versity
students. "This is the first
time anyone other than couples
has lived there," Armor says.
The once mighty iron wheel of
Whatley's Mill now lies deject­edly
on its side as Odom Creek
unsympathetically babbles by.
The rusted wheel, once the
power behind the corn-grinding,
lies overtaken by the briars with
young trees struggling between

INTERNATIONAL
The Soviet Union decided
Tuesday not to participate in the
summer Olympics in Los
Angeles. U.S. officials called the
boycott "an unjustified, blat­antly
political act," but vowed
the Olympic spirit would go on.
President Reagan's spokes­man,
Larry Speakes, said that
the Soviet Union "has disre­garded
the feelings of most
nations and millions of people
the world over." Olympic offi­cials
think the boycott is related
to the Jimmy Carter action of
pulling the U.S. out of the Mos­cow
Olympic Games in 1980.

In 1992 20 minute warnings
before tornadoes hit will replace
the now one minute warning. By
this year, "new radar, computer
and satellite technology" could
abolish "needless loss of life and
destruction," said Sen. Howell
Heflin, D-Ala. Sam William­son,
deputy director on NEXRAD—
the Next Generation Weather
Radar, said that 160 new radar
stations in place by 1992 will be
able to show a more detailed pic­ture

SGA attempts to recruit members
STATE
The Alabama House of
Representatives sent a bill
back to committee yesterday
which would allow large munici­palities
in dry counties to vote
independently on the legal sale of
alcobol. The committee will take
another vote on whether to send
the bill out to the House to be
voted on again Thursday or on
the last day of the session, May
21. Cities such as Decatur and
Guntersville want to become wet
in order to attract tourism.
Decatur in Morgan County is the
largest dry city in the nation.
Rep. John Rice of Opelika
will introduce a bill to the Ala­bama
Legislature which would
establish a Downtown Redevel­opment
Authority that could sell
bonds, arrange low-interest
financing and condemn prop­erty.
The bill should pass by the
end of the week. The authority
would call for private help to revi­talize
downtown.
Academic schools
could be renamed
By Jody Kamins
News Staff
Auburn's academic schools may
be renamed as colleges next year
so that the University will be
more consistent with its peer
institutions, said Taylor Lit­tleton,
academic adviser to the
president.
If the plan is accepted, the
larger educational units, such as
the schools of Agriculture, Arts
and Sciences and Engineering,
would be re-named as colleges.
. University Senate Chairman
Dr. Gerald Johnson will appoint
a committee to review the Uni­versity's
academic structure and
. present information to the Senate
about changing names.
Most other universities use the
term college to denote a broad
academic unit that contains sev­eral
schools and departments
and the term school to name a
more restricted unit geared
toward a certain profession or
small group of related pro­fessions.
According to Littleton, Au­burn's
names for its large institu­tions
and departments are out­dated.
Changing the larger
schools to colleges and upgrad­ing
some departments, such as
the department of Architecture,
to the status of schools would
"lend flexibility and clarify the
University's internal organiza­tion
by making the size and scope
of its programs more distinct."
Littleton added that it is mis­leading
to call something as large
and complex as Auburn's Engi­neering
program a "school."
Some schools, such as the School
of Nursing, would retain their
names.
The change would not require
additional staff or reorganiza­tion,
but would benefit the Uni­versity
in gaining accreditation.

Teams consisting of SGA
cabinet members will meet with
all large organizations on cam­pus
to explain the jobs of the dif-'
ferent SGA committees in detail
and to give applications to any
intersted students, according to
SGA President David Shaffer.
Applications will also be availa­ble
in the SGA office.
Shaffer said that as far as he
knows this type of recruiting has
never been done by the SGA. He
stressed that all students are
encouraged to get involved, not
just those who are affiliated with
greek organizations.
"I want students to know that I
am sincerely looking for people
with a great deal of energy, time
and willingness to put forth the
effort for this campus," he said.
Bill Mathews, executive vice
president of the SGA, said the
committees are an ideal way for
students to get involved. He added'
that few students actually know
how the day to day work of the
SGA is accomplished, but by join­ing
a committee, students would
be getting involved with one of
the most important organiza­tions
on campus.
The SGA committees are:
Administrative—It works
directly with the adminstrative
vice president in the day to day
responsibilties of the SGA. The
committee members type, file,
answer the phones and do similar
errands to keep the office running
smoothly.
Art—It is in charge of painting
posters and windows for various
SGA functions.
Athletics and Recreation-
It promotes the intramural and
athletic programs in Auburn.
Blood Drive—It is responsi­ble
for the annual SGA blood
drive. It works with the Red Cross
in arranging the details and
promoting the effort.
Campus Calendar—It aids
the director in obtaining infor­mation
about campus activities
from each organization. It also
helps with the planning for the
calendar and informing students
of available services.
City Council—It helps the lia-son
to the city council in express­ing
the best interests of the stu-dents
to the council. The
members must be able to attend
city council meetings on Tuesday
nights.
Consumer Affairs—Its main
responsibility is to visit area real­tors
and gather information
about housing in the Auburn
area. It also compiles informa­tion
about local businesses.
Documentation—Its job is
meeting with the various secre­taries
and directors weekly and
keeping a record of all SGA func­tions
and responsibilities. It also
helps to make the transition of
new cabinet members easier.
Elections—It organizes Home­coming
and spring elections. Its
members also serve as poll
workers and as office help on
election days.
High School Relations—Its
duty is the promotion of Auburn
student life to high school
seniors. Its members help to
arrange a slide show for the
Freshman Orientation program.
Intra-school Relations—It
plans the School Days activities
(E-Day, Ag-Day, etc.) for the
University.
Lobby-It is responsible for the
research done with regard to
issues in the State Legislature. It
also organizes lobbying efforts.
Minority Relations—It is in
charge of recruiting more minor­ity
students to Auburn Univer­sity.
Spirit—It promotes all spirit-related
activities on campus.
Members organize pep rallies
and help with cheerleading
tryouts. The Wreck Tech and
Burn the Bulldogs parades are
also the responsibility of this
committee.
Student Opinion—It is in
charge of opinion polls on cam­pus
about issues concerning the
students. This is a new committee
that will be a major part of the
SGA's effort during the year.
Student Safety—It is the
Eagle Escort Service and all
efforts concerning student
safety.
Community Volunteer In­formation—
Its responsibility is
working with local volunteer
agencies to promote volunteer
work among Auburn students.
Homecoming—It plans all
a c t i v i t i e s for the week of
Homecoming.
Shaffer says that he is trying to
fulfill his promise to increase
student involvement in the SGA
by going to the different organi­zations
and searching for inter­ested
people.

Typing services prove lucrative fi^9d^9bOff/o^ffi9^09b^fl^^^Ct
By Lynne Haynes
News Staff
Seven hundred and fifty
dollars.
That's how much it costs to
have a 300-page dissertation
typed at $1 per page for the first
draft and 50<t per page for three
revisions.
Typing is big business in
Auburn and from professional
typing agencies to students who
perform the service on the side,
there is money to be made.
Of course, if the typing can be
done by a student it will be less
expensive. The going rate is $1
per double-spaced page.
If a student does the typing, it
is usually done manually at a
typewriter. Do not expect word-processor
perfection for a hand-typed
paper.
But if the extra cash is avail­able,
one could spend anywhere
from $1.50 to $1.75 per double-spaced
page getting the paper
typed by a professional agency
using a word processor.
A word processor does not gua­rantee
a perfect paper, however.
Mistakes can still be made. But
no matter who types the paper,
one can usually count on the per­son
or agency to do some light
editing, such as correcting spell­ing
errors, punctuation errors
and typos.
The four typing agencies in
Auburn—The Final Draft, The
Word Shop, The Wright Place
and Word Power—all will edit
minor, easily corrected errors as
the paper is typed. They all
agreed, however, that they do not
correct errors for a paper being
written for an English class,
since structure, form, style and
grammar are being graded.
These agencies provide more
services than just typing. Each of
them will edit papers or other
material and charge by the hour
for this service.
The Word Shop and The
Wright Place will both compose
resumes, from start to finish. A
spokeswoman from the latter
said she interviews the client and
tries to pull information out of
him or her that would help to
"sell" the client.
These two agencies also pro­vide
tutoring services. The Word
Shop acts as a referral service to
tutors of any kind for any subject.
The Wright Pla"e tutors clients
on how to write papers.
The Wright Place owner said
she uses' a technique she deve­loped
called focusing to do most
of her tutoring. In this method,
she said she teaches clients how
to focus on the important and
most interesting aspects of a
topic and to work their way out
from that center point as the
paper progresses.
She also said she would help
and tutor a client at any point
along the paper-writing process,
including dissertations and
theses, and does technical
writing.
A spokeswoman for the Word
Shop said the agency will tutor
clients on formats for papers and
even show them how to use the
Auburn police probe assaults
An Auburn University coed
has been arrested and charged
with filing a false report after she
told city police officers she was
raped at gunpoint Saturday
night.
Police Capt. Ed Downing said
the girl faces up to six months in
jail and a fine of up to $500 for
filing the false report. He refused
to release her identity. She was
released Tuesday on $500 bond.
Investigation dropped
University police have discon­tinued
their investigation into
the alleged assault of a female
student in front of Dorm K,
according to Chief Jack Walton.
The 19-year-old coed, whose
name was not released, reported
that she was struck under the left
eye by a black male at midnight
on Wednesday, May 2.

The suspect was described as
approximately 30 years old, 6 feet
and 1 inch tall and wearing a
black jacket.
The investigation was drop­ped,
Walton said, because the girl
decided not to press charges.
Burglary motive suspect
University police are investi­gating
the first-degree burglary
of an apartment in married stu­dent
housing, according to Chief
Jack Walton.
Although the motive appears
to have been sexual assault, the
incident is being termed a
burglary because there was
"forced entry into an occupied
dwelling at night." No property
was taken and the girl escaped
unharmed.
Police are looking for a white
male 6 feet to 6 feet 1 inch tall
with two to three days growth of
beard and weighing 180 to 200
lobs. Walton said the suspect was
wearing a stocking on his head,
gloves, a dark blue Izod-type shirt
and blue jeans.
The incident occurred between
4 and 5 a.m. Tuesday, Walton
said. He refused to release further
details in the case, but said the

incident is the third attempted

library. It will also dictate papers
and translate them—in Spanish,
French, German, Latin or
Russian—and do technical writ­ing
and several other profes­sional
services.
The people who run these four
agencies either have business or
English degrees or many of their
workers do. The degrees range
from bachelor's to doctorate.
The typing business becomes
heaviest from mid-quarter on
and each agency said it turned
down some work toward the end
of winter quarter. But many
times they said this happened
because a client would want a
paper typed and ready overnight,
without any notice ahead of time
about the rush order. One owner
said she charges an extra 25$ per
page for such an order.
Of course, it would be easier
and cheaper on students if eve­ryone
owned a typewriter and
learned how to type themselves.
But for those who cannot type, or
who just do not have the time at
the end of a hectic quarter, you do
not have to look to find an enter­prising
student or a professional
agency who would be glad to do
the job for you...for a small fee.

'Circle' rules
The University's Communica­tions
Board last week came out with
a list of "Policies Governing the
Publication of The Circle."
In essence, this list of 10 policies
will accomplish two things.
First, if the Communications
Board does not agree with the
actions of a future editor of the pub­lication,
it can fall back on these
guidelines to back up its charges.
Secondly, if The Circle adheres to
these guidelines, however unfair
so ae of them may appear, then the
Budget and Finance Committee of
the SGA will have no grounds for
limiting funding of the magazine
again next year.
The main disagreement we have
with the policies as set forth by the
Communications Board is that it
suggests at least 10 percent but not
more than 25 percent of the maga­zine's
space should be devoted to
creative prose and poetry.
It is ridiculous to limit a maga­zine's
scope in this way. What if
there is nothing but creative prose
and poetry that is acceptable one
quarter. What will be expected of the
magazine then?
, Also, who determines just what is
and what is not creative prose? It
would be ridiculous to think that
anyone who authors anything does
not consider their work "creative."
s As for other recommendations, for
the most part, they are guidelines
that any editor should follow,
regardless of whether they are writ­ten
out.
For instance, the Communica­tions
Board says "care should be
taken to follow accepted standards
of good taste." A responsible editor
would most surely attempt to stay
within the bounds of what a major­ity
of the public would consider good
taste.
Similarly, to edict that the editor
should consult with the Editorial
Board on any material which might
be considered objectionable is to
point out one of the most basic
responsibilities of a good, strong
editor.
Some of the suggestions made by
the Communications Board are very
wise and should be taken into great
consideration by new editor Mark
Stephenson and his staff.
The Board takes great pains to
call the magazine's Auburn's "Gen­eral
Interest" magazine, the exact
issue which caused all the budget
problems for the magazine this year.
The Circle is not a literary forum, it
is a general publication, according
to the policy statement.
Perhaps the most important pol­icy
on the Board's list is that unsoli­cited
material will be considered.
This policy will help to assure diver­sity
as the editor can assign features
of general interest to most every
area of campus. Too much in the
past, the Circle editor has relied too
heavily on works contributed
through English classes and other
"literary" sources to insure general
interest stories.
The last policy outlined by the
Board emphasizes perhaps the big­gest
reason these policies were
implemented, the lasting threat of
zero-funding by the B and F commit­tee
if the Circle does not remain
general-interest oriented.
Policy number 10 states that "the
above guidelines are established in
order to assure that The Circle ful­fills
its obligations to serve as a gen­eral
interest magazine for the stu­dents
of Auburn University."
Mark Stevenson should take the
recommendations to heart, or the
magazine may not be around much
longer.
evacuations
Last week, at least eight people
lost their lives during tornadoes that
struck in and around Montgomery.
'"The storms hit all day and much
of the nieht. and Gov. Wallace has
asked the area to be declared a dis­aster
area by the Federal govern­ment.
Montgomery is only 55 miles
away from Auburn. Auburn could
very well had been the state's worst-hit
area, but we were lucky to get
away with just one tornado touch­ing
down in the Lee County area.
However, when we were under our
tornado warning, no one seemed to
know quite what to do on campus.
*,As the sky turned black and trees
bent down to touch the concourse,
Foy Union was being evacuated
while classes continued in many
parts of Haley Center. Students
studying Geography in Tichenor
and Economics in Thach looked out
of their classroom windows to see
traffic from Magnolia Ave. being
rerouted onto the new concourse
because of a fallen tree.
Somewhere, somehow, signals got
mixed up and it is imperative that
Auburn formulate and implement a
top-notch plan for potential disas­ters
such as last Thursday.
c! Elements of the plan are already
!here. For instance, nearly everyone
ip the Union Building was forced
downstairs where there are few
windows and many concrete walls.
This was the best place to be if the
building was hit by a tornado.
Similarly, some students were
taken from the upper floors of Haley
Center to the safer basement. It is
the students that were not evacu­ated
that have left many questions
unanswered.
First of all, how are students on
campus supposed to know if the area
is under a severe weather warning?
Perhaps there should be a campus
siren so that everyone will be aware
of the impending weather.
Secondly, if a tornado does hit,
where is the best place to be? Some
people were told to get to the bottom
of buildings while others were
i n s t r u c t e d to stay in their
classrooms.
The third and most important
question is will we be prepared if we
get rough weather again next week?
The sad answer is "no way". No one
around is any more educated about
evacuation procedures than they
were last week.
The university administrators
and representatives of the Security
Department need to come up with a
detailed evacuation procedure. This
is not much to ask for considering
Alabama ranks near the top of the
nation in the number of tornadoes it
experiences yearly.
We've already been granted one
reprieve, let's not press our luck.

Barnes' speech touching
I attended the dedication of the new
Student Activities Center last week with
mixed feelings.
First, I was excited to see a six-year
project finally made a reality. Many
students had put great time, effort and
money into developing and building the
complex, and it looked magnificent.
However, I also saw the ceremony
possibly one of the least-exciting events
I would ever attend.
I was pleasantly surprised, however,
to find that the afternoon was a nice mix
of reminiscing and looking to the future.
Speakers kept their remarks to a min­imum,
and the entire dedication was
over in less than an hour.
The highlight of the afternoon for me
was listening to the dedication speech
given by Dean of Students Pat Barnes.
Throughout my years at Auburn,
Dean Barnes has been in the dirver's
seat in Cater Hall, first as interim Dean
then as Dean of Students.
In my eyes she can't be beat as an
administration or a person. She's
always friendly, always willing to take
time to listen and most importantly
always a great mediator. This year in
Communications Board meetings, over
which she presides, Dr. Barnes took
great pains in assuring no one's feelings
were hurt at anytime.
During the Circle magazine discus­sions,
she was careful not to let one side
get the upper hand over the other as the
debate wore on. In essence, a potentially
explosive confrontation between the edi­tor
of a publication and the Board under
which that editor serves was turned into
a productive discussion, largely due to
the leadership of Dr. Barnes.
As you probably can tell, I have a
great deal of respect for Dr. Barnes and
her position as Dean of Students. How­ever,
I gained newfound respect for this
lady as a writer and orator when I heard
her speak last Saturday afternoon.
Dean Barnes spoke briefly on the Stu­dent
Act "dream" finally becoming a
"reality" and the different experiences
that encompass someone as they walk
through the complex.
It was her poignant picture of "the
composite Auburn student," however,
that really made me feel glad to be Bit­ting
there listening to her.
Dr. Barnes graciously gave me per­mission
to use the following excerpt
from her speech, and I would like to
share it with you.
The Auburn student — a composite
could never be exhaustive, only repre­sentative.
Experience with me, the
Auburn student.
1. Average ACT of 23.7 for the 1983-84
Freshman class.
2. Largest percentage of applicants
accepted for medical school.
3. Nine juniors chosen each spring as
the outstanding individual in each
school. The lowest GPA for these is
about 3.79.
4. More than 250 basketball teams
participating in intramurals compe­tition.
5. A hard working student committee
in the UPC trying to bring to Auburn
University those programs which edu­cate,
entertain, enthrall.
6. A young man saying to his peers-
"tonight I am happy because I will soon
be an Auburn University graduate. I am
happy to be an American. I am happy to
be a Christian."
7. The unsung heroes of the offensive
line.
8. An unselfish point guard who keeps
feeding the ball to his teammates.
9. The Auburn University Singers giv­ing
a stirring rendition of "The Battle
Hymn of the Republic."
10. Award-winning student publica­tions
year after year.
11.Two students administering
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a pro­fessor
who had fainted in front of Haley
Center.
12. Hundreds of Auburn University
students filing into Haley Center to
donate blood.
13. An honor engineering student who
has so mastered the art of being an
excellent waiter until everyone wants
him to serve the head table at their
banquets.
14. Four unknown men sitting in
Cater Hall living room preparing for a
calculus exam. Later, these same four
men and a dog playing frisbee on the
Cater Hall lawn. (One student told me
that the dog had not been studying with
them because he wasn't taking calculus
this quarter!)
15. Auburn University bend playing
"The Star-Spangled Banner."
16. Students choosing to honor one of
their own by dedicating a room in this
facility to him.
17. Students throwing pies, eating
hamburgers at record paces to raise
money for the Katharine Cater and
Shug Jordan Leukemia fund.
As I said earlier, there is no way to .
completely describe and define the
Auburn student — so I invite you to stay
for a while, enjoy this beautiful new
facility and experience the Auburn
student.
It is this composite student described
by Dr. Barnes that I will miss most when
I graduate in June.
I was deeply moved by this portion of
Dr. Barnes' speech. I am going to miss
the diversity found in Auburn and the
all around "friendly" feeling.
I thank you Dr. Barnes for the love you
obviously have for Auburn and for put­ting
into words what until now I only felt
in my heart.
A rose by any other name...
Melissa
Shubert
There is a rosebush that grows outside
my bedroom window at home. Usually
its springtime appearance reflects the
erratic care.tliai-I givcto it — witli only a
few tiny, faded roses. No matter how
often I try to convince it of its potential,
water it, and beg it to make itself pre­sentable,
it always disappoints me.
This year, however, is a different
story. It is full of beautiful red roses,
hanging limp with the weight of the
blooms — although I have done exactly
zilch in the way of taking care of it. God
is, after all, the greatest gardener and
caretaker, and He has been working
overtime with my rosebush. But I also
think He employed a little help from my
mother.
Just as all God's creations are special
and important to Him, so it is with my
mom and her flowers. The house
becomes a jungle in winter and she
brings all varieties of ferns, flowers and
trees inside. She assigns them a name
and diligently cares for them as they
grow and become beautiful.
As for most people with "green
thumbs", spring is her favorite time of
the year. The rebirth that takes place
between she and Nature is almost
communion-like. It brings her back in
touch with life, regenerations and love.
Perhaps that is what happened to my
rosebush. Maybe it simply needed that
special touch of love, instead of constant
expectation, to make it grow and become
beautiful.
Whatever she did, she did success­fully,
for the soft scent of the roses drifts
through my window, lending a wonder­ful,
clean smell to the vacant room.
Mothers are like that, I suppose. They
have a way of lending life to everything
they touch. They are patient, caring and,
best of all, forgiving. They are often
overlooked and taken for granted, yet
seldom complain.
Once upon a time, my rosebush
reflected my scant love and lack of
attention. Now it is the mirror of what a
little love and hard work can
accomplish.
Although I won't be home for Mother's
Day, Mom, have a wonderful Sunday.
Make Dad take you to dinner and
Michael buy you a card.
Pick a dozen of those roses outside my
window and place them on the table.
They are examples of your love and care.
I, too, am one of those roses.
Interested teachers help students
In my column this week, I'm attempt­ing
to closely examine teachers, not only
those human beings in classrooms
behind desks and podiums, but also
those who instruct others outside class­rooms.
What are the qualities of a well-rounded
teacher? What motivates dif­ferent
humans to instruct others? What
do teachers expect to receive from their
instructions and from those instructed?
Some teachers tend to be the most out­going
people one could ever meet and get
to know. They are so interested in their
messages that they are greatly devoted
to informing others. They investigate
their messages before, during and after
delivering them to those around them so
that they may become informed
themselves.
So many teachers today, both inside
and outside the classroom), are eager to
get their messages across to others; how­ever,
they aren't interested in what they
are sharing with others.
As a result,'those they speak to are not
eager to receive the messages. Those lis­tening
sense the teacher's disinterest in
his or her topics. So, they acquire the
attitude that what is being said is hot
worth hearing.
Teachers should devote their time to
informing others of topics in which they
find a personal interest—their discus­sions
with others will be more enjoyable
when they enjoy sharing their topics
with other*.
Students in some classrooms memo­rize
notes from classroom discussions
and devote much time to studying les­sons
from thick books only because they
have to have certain courses for their
curriculums. If they don't need certain
courses for their majors, they don't take
them, especially when the teachers in
the unneeded courses are considered
boring.
In the courses I've taken so far, the
teachers, for the most part, have shown
special interest in their topics; however,
there have been a few who haven't cared
enough about their lessons to make any
extra effort to show personal interest.
They have tried to see how quickly their
classes can get done with each lesson.
Many teachers are motivated by the
rewards they receive for the time they
devote to informing others; others are
motivated by the messages they want to
share or by the well-being of those being
informed.
The teachers who consider informing
others a job place more importance on
the pay they receive than whether or not
those being informed are learning any­thing
which will be of value in the future.
Though the teachers inside class­rooms
are not encouraged to share their
personal opinions on different topics,
those who make it their business to
inform others outside the classroom are
motivated by their desire to share their
beliefs. While being open with others
around them, those outside the class-'
room atmosphere and in the classrooms
should be motivated by a desire to
arouse curiosity.
Many teachers look for response from
others. Agreement on discussion topics
are, of course, welcomed; however, I
believe teachers should encourage some
disagreement also. Any response at all
demonstrates some interest in the topics
being discussed.
Each of us can be a teacher if we desire
to inform others, but while being
teachers, we should remember that
those being informed are learning from
the manner in which we are teaching.
While we are instructing, we should also
have the desire to learn and become bet­ter
informed ourselves.

Happy Mother's Day
Lynne
Hopkins
In the past few decades women have
been able to branch out into many fields.
Yet, there is one special group of women
whose functions deserve much credit
and respect — mothers.
This Sunday is Mother's Day and we
should take the opportunity to
remember the love and care that our
mothers have given to us through the
years.
Mother's Day should mean a lot more
than buying a card or fixing dinner; it
should mean a chance for us to really let
them know we care and that we appre­ciate
everything they have done.
In my life I have been fortunate to
have a mother who has always been
with me through both the good and the
bad times. Even when I felt that there
was nobody'who cared, she was always
there.
Mothers have a very special quality
which seems to enable them to know
everything. If there is one person who
knows everything about me, it's my
mother. And the remarkable thing about
it is that she still loves me.
In today's society families do not
command the importance that they used
to and women who choose to raise a fam­ily
instead of seeking a career are viewed
as lazy. What is lazy about caring for a
family 24 hours a day?
The duties *>nd responsibilites that go
along with being a mother are tremen­dous
and not every woman has the ability
to successfully carry out this task.
To assume responsibility for the lives
of young, impressionable children
requires serious dedication and because
of this it deserves recognition as -the
most important job ever.
No mother should ever feel like she's
missed something because she has spent
her life raising a family. Time devoted to
the welfare of others represents one of
the most selfless acts and one of the most
gratifying ways to spend one's life.
Sometimes we tend to lose sight of just
how much our mothers do for us and it
has only been within the past few years
that I have been able to fully appreciate
all that my mother has done for me.
My mother has not only taken care of
me when I was sick and taught me about
life, but most importantly she has been
my best friend. There have been so many
things that my mother has done for me
that I don't know if I will ever be able to
repay her.
I only hope that the things my mother
has taught me will carry over when I
start to have my own family and I can
only hope that I will be able to do half of
the job that my mother has ac­complished.
No matter where my life may lead me
or how far away from home I may travel,
my mother will always have a great
impact on my life and a special place in
my heart.
Happy Mother's Day, Mom. I love you.
New lights needed
One thing I think the University offi­cials
should look into is the outside light­ing
system on Auburn's campus. If you
have ever walked around outside at
night, you will know what I mean. Many
sections of the campus are dimly lit. It
can be like walking in pitch black at
times.
I live in the quad and the center of it is
not at all well-lighted. The lights on the
dorms are very small. We need spot
lights that are powerful enough to light
up the paths between dorms, especially
since we have to go in the front door
many times when the rest of the building
is locked. One can't always have some­one
with her, and it can be really scary
walking in the dark.
Another place on campus that is very
dark is the walkway between Haley
Center and the Concourse. In this area,
there are no lights, which makes visibil­ity
next to impossible. That includes
being able to see another person. I hate
to go to Haley Center to study just
because I know I'll have to walk back in
the dark by myself.
Putting up new lights may be a costly
investment, but I think in the long run it
would pay off. The number of rapes and
general harrassment would go down.
Girls would feel safer walking around
campus because they would be safer
with better lighting. The lights could be
placed so that they not only afforded
students protection, but enhanced the
beauty of the campus as well.

Semester system has drawbacks
Editor, The Plainsman:
Last week the Plainsman printed an
editorial about the possibiltiy of chang­ing
to a semester system. The article has
failed to recognize several points.
If Auburn changes to a semester sys­tem,
the Plainsman, along with a large
number of people, seems to think the
faculty will have more time to teach a
class and students will have extra time
to learn.
What is not realized is the "extra time"
will be spent teaching the material
covered in the deleted quarter. The class
load will not change, because the same
amount of material will have to be
covered in the same amount of time.
During finals, half again as much mate­rial
will have to be prepared for and the
professor will have half again as much
material to grade if he is to cover the
same amount of material.
The editorial also stated if Auburn
switched to the semester system stu­dents
would have a better chance of get­ting
summer jobs. If a person really
wants a summer job, he should look for it
early (ie. Christmas, spring break?) and
not until after the quarter is over. If the
prospective employer points out that you
cannot start until the middle of June,
reply that you do not have to go back
until the end of September.
Cost considerations should also
include the tremendous amount of hours
that will be needed in restructuring
classes and specifically labs. Also, cur-riculums
which are new might have to
require their respective students to stay
one or two extra semesters.
Since the Plainsman is so worried
about the calendar of other schools, per­haps
the Senate could reconsider start­ing
earlier in the year.

Campus housing needs work
Editor, The Plainsman:
We have serious doubts that this letter
will produce effective results, but we
want to publicly voice our dissatisfac­tion
with Auburn University Housing.
The rate per student to live in an air
conditioned dorm this year is $325 per
quarter, at least $120 more a year than
dorms without air conditioning.
Naturally, we all expect the air to be
turned on at a reasonable time (i.e. when
the days get increasingly warmer). We
realize that, to cut down on expenses,
they want to make sure the days will
stay warm before they turn it on, but
anyone with an IQ of 60 should have
realized it was very warm in the middle
of April.
Despite numerous complaints and
demands, the air conditioning was not
turned on, and (to put it politely) living
conditions in these dorms have been
nothing short of unbearable. Unsatis
factory, if any, explanations were given,
with promises it would be turned on
"soon."
Finally, on May 1, it came on. Sort
of....We could tell because we felt it a lit­tle
if we were right next to the vent. The
next day it was off and has been since. If
something is wrong with the system
(and they certainly picked an opportune
time to make that discovery), a week is
more than enough time to repair it.
These same problems are present year
after year and are met with the same
"professional" response and over­whelming
results. Obviously, the
inadequacies of the University Housing
Department are more than mechanical.

Where is death penalty: 7
Whatever happened to the death
penalty? Despite campaigns by the
press and various world leaders against
the use of capital punishment, the occa­sional
execution continues to take place.
Some people oppose capital punish­ment
for ethical reasons—i.e. how can
one justify the killing of another as pun­ishment?
Others equally believe "an eye
for an eye" and that someone who takes
another's life should also have his life
taken.
Capital punishment being a deterrent
to murder can be another argument for
the death penalty, and although studies
have been made, capital punishment
cannot be proven or disproven as a
deterrent.
What can be proven is that 9.8
murders per 100,000 people are commit­ted
each year. The people committing
about 10 percent (2,000 murders) of all
United States homicides a year qualify
for capital punishment. How many of
these actually carry out that sentence?
Few.
There are over 1,100 murderers sitting
on death row today. That is more than
twice as many as in 1979. Few execu­tions
actually take place, resulting in an
excessively large death row population.
America's judicial system (forever
protecting the rights of her citizens even
when some citizens violate the rights of
others and thus should lose their own
rights) demands an extensive process of
judicial review before an individual can
be executed.
A murderer's case must travel through
the system from the initial court to the
state's supreme court, to a federal dis­trict
court, to a federal circuit court of
appeals and then finally to the Supreme
Court.
This process is expensive and time
consuming, with the murderer waiting
at least three years in prison at the tax­payer's
expense. Even after it reaches
the Supreme Court (many of which do
not) the murderer could still get his sent­ence
commuted to life without parole.
According to an article in the January
24,1983 issue of Time, "It is cheaper to
send a student to Stanford for a year
than it is to keep a con in nearby San
Quentin ($10,000 vs. $20,000)."
The article also said that in New York,
an estimated $1.5 million is spent for the
initial trial. This figure does not include
the cost of any of the appeals required by
the judicial system.
William F. Buckley, Jr. supports capi­tal
punishment even if it isn't a deterrent
to murder. "Taking the lives of murder­ers
has a zero-sum symmetry that is
simple and satisfying enough to feel like
human instinct: the worst possible crime
deserves no less than the worst possible
punishment," Buckley summed up for
Time.
Moral Majority's leader, the Rev.
Jerry Falwell believes Christ supported
the death penalty. According to Falwell,
Christ, while being crucified,could have
spoken against capital punishment. "If
ever there was a platform for our Lord to
condemn capital punishment, that was
it. He did not."
Politically, the country has turned to
the right and National Review, a con­servative
commentary magazine, noted
that concerning capital punishment, "a
gradual shift in focus from the perpetra­tor
to the victim has undoubtedly
occurred. Norman Mailer's The Execu­tioner's
Song (1979) may represent the
last generally acclaimed celebration of a
murderer for some time to come."
The magazine continues, saying
"Newsweek's extended feature on J.D.
Autry, recently executed in Huntsville,
Tx., evoked little sympathy for Autry,
and a considerable amount for his casu­ally
murdered victims."
National Review then justifies capital
punishment by concluding "Had the
murdered cashier shot Autry before he
put a bullet between her eyes, it would
have been self-defense. Autry's execu­tion
corrects the error in timing."
The press has been guilty of making
martyrs out of murderers. However, the
publicity given to the death penalty
supports Seneca's statement "the more
public the punishments are, the greater
the effect they will produce upon the
reformation of others."
Thomas Repetto, president of the Citi­zens
Crime Commission of New York
City told Time that "If 25 percent of the
convicted killers were executed, 100 a
week or more, there might be a deterring
effect. But it is unthinkable...that the
U.S. will begin dispatching its villians
on such a wholesale basis."
If America did enforce and implement
the death penalty, then the result would
be a deterrent to murder, the penal sys­tems'
overcrowding would be somewhat
relieved and the taxpaying citizen would
not only save money, but would be freed
from the fear of some mass murderer
getting parole.
Charles Bronson had the answer to
mass murderers. In a recent movie,
Bronson, a detective, corners a murderer
who has brutally stabbed and mutilated
several women. As the police move in,
the murderer begins ranting, "I didn't
know what I was doing. I was temporar­ily
crazy. I'll get out. I'll get out and come
back." Bronson cooly looks at the mur­derer
and blasts a whole squarely
between his eyes.
Homosexuals need Christians' love
Editor.The Plainsman:
I rarely read the Plainsman because
it's hard for me to be sure that any given
issue is current.
The headlines are always the same:
Bulimia, Auburn is a Wonderful Place,
God is Sending All Homosexuals
Straight to Hell: I try to view these end­less
columns with the same tolerance I
have toward football, add-a-beads and
the weird game with a little leather ball
on the concourse.
However, I am fed up with this homo­sexuality
issue. Most homosexuals are
well aware that the Bible, the church
and all of the smiling, bouncing, plastic
Christians at Auburn condemn their
lifestyle. So aware, in fact, that you will
rarely find a homosexual going to a
Christian for help.
Homosexuals are not a different spe­cies;
they have the same problems as
everyone else: they try to get their work
done, they sometimes wonder why
they're in school in the first place; they
struggle with accepting themselves;
they want and need love from other peo­ple;
and if they don't have a relationship
with God, they often feel an emptiness
inside that they can't quite explain. This
is called the human condition.
Add to this the pressure of being ridic­uled,
the fear of possible rejection from
family, professors, future employers and
the fact that Aubum is probably the
most conservative state school in the
universe and you begin to realize that
the one thing homosexuals do not need
is another letter full of scriptural proofs
that God condemns them.
Granted, Christians have a responsi­bility
to take a stand against sin. But I
think even Francis Schaeffer would
agree that the Aubum community has
been adequately informed of the
church's position regarding this issue.
What is our purpose in this area? How do
we apply our Lord's pronouncements of
us as the light of the world and the salt of
the earth to this situation? Have our sca­thing
letters helped any homosexuals
deal with their problems or build a rela­tionship
with God?
I doubt it. We have failed the homo­sexual
community with our preaching
and condemnation. We have not offered
them the love that we claim to have for
the world. The message that they need is
"Come unto me all ye who labor and are
heavy-laden and I will give you reBt."
Surely we have learned by now that
the best way to share Christ is not to
condemn or hand out tracts, but to chal­lenge
the world with changed lives. This
is much harder than hurling condemna­tion,
but it is our only choice if we are
serious about following Jesus.
There is a group of Christians in
Atlanta who care about homosexuals
and their problems and who offer coun­seling
to anyone who wants it. They call
themselves "KATAPAUO", which
means "God's rest." Their address is:

l^AnnA rtiriaf uinmpH lis r t i r i o t i n n a Ironically. BoudreaUX
Editor, the Plainsman:
As a student, a Christian minister and
a former agnostic, I must respond to the
letter from Don Boudreaux and replace
false logic with true.
Although I am not a member of the
Campus Crusade for Christ, I know it is
not its policy as an organization to
intervene in campus elections. There­fore,
to construe any individual partici­pation
by members in elections as
"questionable tactics...(by the CCC) to
get representatives elected" is an untrue
syllogism, if not a libelous lie. But my
purpose here is to defend Boudreaux's
real target, Christianity, not just the
CCC or Glenn Eskew.
Christianity does not impose its
dogma on others. It is a religion of choice
and free will and its leaders have histor­ically
stood on the side of democracy,
freedom and human rights. But I do not
wish to fall into the syllogistic trap of
judging religion by the actions of reli­gious
leaders, as Boudreaux did con­cerning
the Inquisition.
Indeed, Christ warned us of this,
explaining it as "wolves in sheeps'
clothing." How would Boudreaux feel if
several murderers changed their name
to "Boudreaux.? Would he want us to
assume that anyone with that name is
then a murderer? This is what he does
when he convicts Christ simply because
evil men have hidden behind His name.
No, the root of the problem is not Chris­tianity,
but evil — the adversary of all
true Christians.
It is because of our opposition to evil
that Christians become involved in
politics. True Christians should have no
desire to control government and are, in
fact, admonished against doing so.
Christ made it clear: "My Kingdom is
not of this world."
However, that does not deny us the
right to struggle for the cause of good in
the same ways others do: by voting,
running for office and voicing our opin­ions.
Does Boudreaux wish to deprive us
of the very freedom he seeks to defend? I
see nothing hypocritical in Christians
taking a stand for what they believe, or
in Eskew voicing his concern for fellow
ChristiansTlronically, Boudreaux's
favorite word, "hypocrisy," should be
used on himself.
Finally, I do agree partially with one
statement Boudreaux made: "Christian­ity
is an on-going attempt to harness the
mind and will of man under the heavy
yoke of dogma." But delete the word
"heavy." Christ said "My yoke is easy
and my burden is light."
The dogma of Christ was meant to free
us from the "heavy" dogma of Jewish
law; it is a doctrine of love, no "norms,"
as Boudreaux mistakenly assumes. To
yoke or harness something means to
"control and direct the force of," the
purpose of enabling a stubborn animal,
like a jack ass, to accomplish something
useful.
Don't fool yourself, Broudreaux: all
men are driven by some force, either by
the forces of evil and selfishness, or by
the force of good. Christianity is a force
for good, regardless of what impostors
make of it.

Martin says research base can retain talent
A stronger research base at
•Auburn University will help
!Alabama reduce exports of its
imost important product, its tal­ented
young leadership, AU Pres­ident
James E. Martin told a
'•gathering of business and indus­trial
leaders on campus.
i|[ Martin, speaking to approxi­m
a t e l y 40 businessmen and
jjlndustrial executives from across
the eastern United States, said
•comprehensive universities such
as Auburn have a mission to
.define more clearly and find solu­tions
to some of America's prob­lems.
By doubling Auburn's
research program within five
^Tyears — a goal he has set for the
University -r- Auburn can help
fulfill that mission, he said.
More industrial and business
support of Auburn's research is
necessary to meet the goal, which
involves a doubling in contract
and grant funding from that sec­tor
over the five-year period. But
Martin said the University is not
going after money simply to get
money. He called on the business
and industrial leaders to help the
University decide what the prob­lems
are and then go after funds
to support research for their
solution.
The executives, many of whom
are Auburn graduates or have
other strong Auburn ties, braves
thunderstorms and tornadoes for
the two-day conference, which
concluded with a tour of several
major research areas. The execu­tives
also viewed exhibits high­l
i g h t i n g areas of Auburn
research related to business and
industry.
Martin, who delivered the wel-coming
address, said an
expanded research role for
Auburn is necessary for Alaba­ma's
industrial development. By
attracting high qaulity industry
through high quality research,
Alabama will not lose so many of
its talented young leaders to
other states, he said.
He noted that Auburn research
pays dividends to industry
directly through the research
programs and through the
supply of graduate students who
have had experience with the
type of problems they will face in
industry. Companies can support
U n i v e r s i t y research much
cheaper than they can conduct it
themselves, he said.
"Working together, we can
solve an awful lot of problems,"
Martin said.
Vice President of Research
Paul Parks said there has been a
longstanding partnership in
research between Auburn and
business, with business and
industrial funding accounting
for 20 percent of the University's
research budget from contracts
and grants.
There is a general lack of
understanding about the quality
and depth of research at the Uni­versity,
he said, adding that the
problem is being remedied.
The group also heard a discus­sion
by Engineering School Dean
Lynn Weaver on engineering
programs and plans for the
Advanced Manufacturing Tech­nology
Center, which will offer
industries practical applications
of technological developments.
Jamie "Red" Etheredge, execu­tive
director of the Alabama
Development Office, spoke to the
group, emphasizing the adminis­tration's
commitment to support
industrial development.
The conference was sponsored
by the Research Advisory Coun­cil
with support from the Auburn
Alumni Association.

Hugs good for soul, body
By Denise McGill
Features Staff
It's often seen that a dog wags
his tail when a human pets him.
The touch of human affection
excites animals of every kind.
The joy can be seen in as many
differing ways as the wagging of
a dog's tail or the genuine smile of
a human's lips.
That human smile represents
our elevation of self worth, per­ception
and feelings when we
receive a firm embrace. Hugs and
touching are essential in main­taining
a normal healthy life,
physically and psychologically.
People who are rarely hugged
often bear the burdens of hyper­tension
and deep emotional anx­ieties.
But a good hug can help
make anything bearable. Such a
stroke of affection gives a warm
feeling that says, "you are okay
and loved."
In infancy the need to be held is
almost always present. Only
when the mother succumbs with
affection to the lonely yells of a
love-starved baby does his or her
longing to be held subside. Frank
Caplan, in his book, The First
Weather
Twelve Months of Life, describes
the need for infantile affection.
"Lack of stimulation is devastat­ing
to the growing infant. His
emotional growth needs encour­agement
and stimulation as
much as his physiological
growth needsproper food andrest."
Not only do we need such nur­turing
during childhood, but
throughout our lifetime, frequent
physical embracing is essential
in maintaining a normal sense of
self worth.
Of course, there are many dif­ferent
ways to hug a person.
There is a "A-frame" hug, where
only the shoulders and cheeks are
touching. This type of hug is usu­ally
brief and practiced by shy,
insecure people who often freeze
when their personal space is
invaded.
Another form of hugging is the
"back-to-front" hug. This hugger
approaches the other from the
back, while folding his or her
arms around the other's waist
and gives a gentle squeeze. Hus­bands,
wives and other live-ins,
along with co-workers and
friends often indulge in back-to-front
embracing.
continued from A-l
can to assist authorities in each
building during tornado warn­ings
to get students, faculty and
staff to safety.
According to University Secur­ity,
the police station tries to no­tify
all buildings on campus when
severe weather is approaching,
but it is impossible to do this
quickly. They advise that people
listen to local radio stations to
receive news faster.
Universtiy Security receives its
warnings about tornadoes and
other bad weather from the
Emergency Operations Center
office of the Lee County Civil
Defense. A spokesman from the
EOC said that its job is to act as a
relay for the Naional Weather
Service and monitor all weather
watches and warnings.
Once a watch begins, the EOC
closes its doors to normal busi­ness
and has someone on duty at
all times tracking the develop­ments.
Warning receivers are
Probably the most tasteful way
to hug is by using the "cheek"
hug. This hug is a tender, gentle
hug that often has spiritual qual­ity.
It can be experienced comfor­tably
sitting or standing up, or
even with one hugger sitting or
standing. Simple pressing your
faces together, cheek to cheek
and breathing slowly for a few
seconds will ultimately relax you
and stir feelings of kindness.
Close friends and relatives enjoy
this type of hugging affection.
However, the highest form of
hugging is the "heart-centered"
hug, or the "bear" hug. The two
huggers stand facing each other
with their arms wrapped around
each other's shoulders or back.
There is full body contact which
stirs intense sensations of com­passion.
The hug is firm, yet gen­tle
and full of lingering care. An
abundance of love can usually be
found at the center of each of
their hearts.
People often wonder where to
put their hands when hugging
someone. Since we have been
held as infants with one hand
near our head and the other on
our lower back, it is the most nur­turing
to be hugged in the similar
fashion. It should be remem­bered,
however, not to place
hands too high or low. Placing
hands in suggestive places could
benefit occurs with the release of
endorphins.
Endorphins are chemicals the
body releases when a person does
things that make them feel good.
But, a person must remember
that giving hugs means receiving
them too. It is a wonderful expe­rience
shared by two peonle and
is fee of charge. The world can be
made brighter for someone today.
Giving a hug triggers the endor­phins
and a subsequent smile.

Beekeeping becomes sweet tasting profession
By Bryan Easley
Features Staff
Beekeeping has been recorded
as early as 7,000 B.C. in Spain
and has become a popular hobby
and profession in the United
Stages. Bees and their products
are used for a variety of purposes
and have recently been tested for
the effect of weightlessness in
space.
The following are portions of
an interview with Frank Randle,
instructor of bee culture at
Auburn University. Randle
received an entomolgy degree
from Auburn and now earns his
living keeping bees an selling
related products.
Plainsman: Why do people
keep bees?
Randle: The reason most people
keep bees is because of the fasci­nation
with the insect. It is ama­zing
once you do a little bit of
reading about them and see the
number of things theycan do; the
communication system, they
make honey, gather pollen and
other things seem to fascinate
people. Most people are amazed
that a 'bug' can do all this.
Plainsman: When referring
to beekeepers, do people usu­ally
ask about being stung?
Randle: This is almost the first
question that I always get asked.
'How many times do you get
stung?' 'Does it hurt?' Sure it.
hurts, and hurts very bad, but the \
more you get stung the after- \
effects tend to tail out over time,
although a lot of stings at one
time could kill a person. If bees
didn't sting, everybody would be
keeping bees.
P l a i n s m a n : Can bees be
trained or conditioned like
other animals?
Randle: The bees can be conditi­oned
to a set of responses if you
apply a given set of conditions.
The bees get conditioned to
respond to applied smoke. The
smoke from a bee-smoker will
instantly get the bees to moving
out of your way.
Plainsman: What types of
mysterious ways are bees
used or kept around the
world?
Randle: It you go back in anti­quity,
various bee products have
been given various healing po­wers.
For instance, honey in the
times of the Greeks and Romans
was used as a mild laxative. Bee
venom has been considered a
cure for arthritis and rheuma­tism.
It has come to life in the
past 15 to 20 years, that there is
indeed something behind the
folklore. The bee stings stimulate
production of natural cortisone,
which tends to relieve the symp­toms
of arthritic conditions.
Pollen is being used by runners
and weightlifters as a high-energy
source of protein in con­junction
with honey. As you
exercise, the body degenerates,
muscle tissue is torn down; they
(athletes) use pollen and honey to
put bulk back on their bodies.
y-;»«-(,-.-*,-.'w •• ..!<-•>•„
As far as the folklore, in Europe
when a beekeeper dies then the
oldest child in the family goes to
the bees and knocks three times
on the hive. This tells the bees
that the owner is dead so the bees
will not swarm and leave. This
was practiced at a marriage,
birth and any other significant
event in the beekeeper's life so
that the bees would give him a
good crop. There is a good ecolo­gical
saying that 'If the people
look after the bees, then the bees
will look after them.' A lot of folk­lore
tends to have some truth. It
may be just a grain, but there is
some truth there.
Plainsman: Movies have
depicted bees as dangerous,
especially the African bees. Is
there any truth to this?
Randle: The movies are there to
make a buck and bring in an
audience and tend to make things
a little more spectacular than
they are. There are well over 200
documented deaths that have
occurred in South America
because of the Africanized bee.
It is a real problem and has not
gone away in the 23 years it has
been a problem. The bees con­tinue
to move this way at about
200 kilometers per year through
man's moving the bee and
through natural swarming. The
beekeepers can handle the bees,
but the problem is going to come
when this bee begins to impact
the public.
Some people out here have a
phobia about 'bugs' and think the
best thing to do with them is to
step on them. This is where the
beekeeping industry has a pro­blem.
The public allowances
enjoyed by beekeepers such as
moving them freely on the high­ways
and being able to keep the
bees in urban areas could create
problems. Imagine an urban
neighborhood where African
bees are kept. Kids could throw
rocks at the hives and the bees
would cover them up, so problems
are there. The beekeepers can still
keep the bees but perhaps do it
away from everybody. This could
eliminate a majority of the bee­keepers
in the United States.
Plainsman: How did you get
started in beekeeping?
Randle: I have an uncle that ijave
me a hive of bees for Christmas
when I was 12 years old. It
changed my whole life. Be had a
couple of hundred hives and
everytime I was over there, usu­ally
on Sundays, he let me help
with the bees. I started extract­ing
honey and got to licking and
asking questions. It just kind of
grew from that point.

By Cecil Yancy Jr.
News Staff
The African "killer" bees are
coming.
That's the word from Dr. Anita
Collins, researcher geneticist at
•he USDA Bee Breeding Center
Laboratory, Baton Rouge, La.,
who spoke to students of the Ala­bama
Agriculture Experiment
Station and the Alabama Coop­erative
Extension personnel at
Auburn University on May 3.
Collins said that the bees
should reach south Texas
; between 1988 and 1992. When
: they arrive, the bees could cause as
', • much as $2 to $3 billion in dam­ages
to seed crops such as alfalfa
J - in the United States.
Developed in Africa, the bees
were introduced to Brazil to
replace the European bees that
were not adapted to the tropical
climate.
According to reports,' the bees
broke out from a controlled
apiary in Brazil and spread to
Venezuela. The bees have been
spotted as far north as Guate­mala
and Costa Rica.
The beeB have been the subject
of a fiction film about swarms
and numerous newspaper arti­cles
have been written about their
ability to kill with their stingers.
Collins said that the bees are
more defensive than the Euro­pean
bees. "They respond to a
moving target in one half a
second and sting from eight to 10
times more than European bees."
African bees are also more
likely to harass people, Collins
said fi dding that people who have
been killed by the bees were either
elderly or young children who
' were unable to run from the
swarming bees.
The African bees present a
serious problem because they can
take over hives already estab­lished
by European bees.
Research is being conducted in
Venezuela on the problems posed
by the bees.
Collins said African bees pro:
duce a poorer grade of honey than
the European bees do because the
African bees forage on anything.
"They don't use good sources of
nectar such as fruit trees as effi­ciently
as the European bee."
Another disadvantage of the
Africans to the bee industry is
t h e i r movement, either by
swarming or absconding. Collins
said swarming occurs when only
part of the colon y leaves the hives
whereas absconding is when the
whole colony leaves the hive.
Collins said that the bees can
swarm up to eight times a year
and are very hard to keep in small
areas. "This means money loss to
the apiculturist." European bees
normally swarm once a year, he
said.
Another problem the African
bee presents to the United States'
bee industry is they interbreed
with the European bees and
transmit the aggressive and
vagabond traits.
"The African bees are unpre­dictable,"
Collins said. "One day
they won't be swarming and the
next day they will."
"There doesn't seem to be any
natural barrier to halt the Afri­can
bee from surviving in the
southeast, southwest and Cali­fornia,"
Collins said. "Even
though they are not suited for
colder weather, African bees
could probably survive summers
most anywhere in the United
States."

Glance's fast feet lead to speedy maturity
By Ann Ensey
Features Staff
Many students remember their
freshman year as one of excite­ment,
change and adjustment,
but few, if any, could compare
their own to that of track star
Harvey Glance.
A 1975 graduate of Central
High School in Phenix City,
Glance chose Auburn for his col­legiate
home over six other top
universities offering him athletic
scholarships.
"As an athlete, I am an emo­tional
performer and need people
to be behind me 100 percent.
Auburn has a great reputation
for watching over its athletes, as
well as for having a great aca­demic
program. With this in
mind, I chose Auburn so that I
could earn a good education
while e s t a b l i s h i n g a solid
athletic career."
Glance entered Auburn as an
18-year-old during the 1975-76
academic year. He realized the
importance of setting goals, aca­demically
and athletically, and
so he did.
He began his studies in physi­cal
education, his first and natu­ral
choice, while beginning his
collegiate track and field
training.
Under the guidance of Coach
Mel Rosen, Glance set an abun­dance
of goals, all of which he
achieved within one year, to
everyone's surprise. All-SEC, Ail-
American, Conference Cham­pion,
National Champion, World
Record holder and Olympic Gold
Medalist became Harvey Glan­ce's
titles for his speed and ability
in the 100 meter run.
"Little did I know that all those
things would be achieved in my
freshman year. I had set these
goals for 1980, not 1976." Glance
credits Auburn and Rosen for his
overwhelmingly fast success. In
high school, he did not have the
facilities or coaching that
Auburn offered and provided
him.
"Within that one year, I found
myself maturing six years. I went
from a 19-year-old to a 25-year-old
overnight."
Live television interviews,
magazine covers and other
forms of international press cov­erage
entered his daily routine,
forcing Glance to make rapid
changes.
Glance had no previous speech
background, so he began concen­trating
on etiquette and his
SGA holds
interviews
next week
Interviews for University
Boards & Committees will be
held Monday, May 14, through
Wednesday, May 16, 1984 in the
SGA Office (332 Foy Union).
Applications will be available
beginning Thursday, May 10,
1984 and throughout the period of
interviews. All students are
urged to apply.
This year more positions will
be open because most people will
be assigned, if chosen, to only one
committee. Some exceptions will
be made especially in the cases
where appointment is made by
virtue of a position that man­dates
ones placement on a
committee.
immediate public image. He real­ized
he was no longer represent­ing
only himself, but also his
school, his state and his country..
Glance was advised to enroll in'
speech and other communication
and public relations classes, thus
changing his entire course of
study.
"1977 was the hard year. To try
and duplicate all that I had done
in 1976 would basically take a
miracle," Glance chuckled.
Glance had the chance to leave
Auburn after 1976 for promo­tional
tours and such, however
with Rosen's influence he chose
to stay in school and continue his
training and studying. Glance
spent the next few years training
for the 1980 Olympics. During
this period, he was honored as an
All-American 14 times.
Glance said that Auburn pro­vides
an excellent training
atmosphere. "Because Auburn is
not a wide-open town, you can be
the best of anything that you
want to be here."
The aspiring track star was
named captain of the 1980 U.S.
Olympic Team. Then the Soviet
Union invaded Afghanistan.
President Carter declared a boy-.
cott of the world games. The ath­letes
were devastated, including
Glance.
As an athlete, Glance voiced
his disappointment. As an indi­vidual,
he voiced his loyalty to
the president's decision. "I
favored the boycott, but I did so
very, very bitterly."
Glance did not let this misfor­tune
defeat his attitude. Instead,
he finished school and set his
sight for 1984.
Tallahasse was his home and
training ground in 1981 and 1982,
until he accepted the position of
executive director of the Bir­mingham
Sports Foundation.
Glance stayed busy in Bir­mingham
for a year or more
before returning to Auburn. "I
knew what the five years before
had meant to me and I didn't get
that same feeling from anywhere
else."
The city life proved too fast and
too tempting for this laid-back,
privacy-loving athlete.
"I wanted to get back to
Auburn where a serious crime is
running a stop sign," he said
jokingly.

Haley Center
Auburn welcomed Glance
home with open arms. He has
been back since December and
has continued training in what
he claims has been his most pro-
• ductive and consistent season
since 1979.
Besides training, Glance is
now working in the admissions
office advising prospective new
students. His out-going personal­ity
and his sincere concern for
others seems to benefit the Uni-
. versity through his position. He
projects a positive image of him­self
and the school. "I am proud
to represent the University in
this manner, just as I am proud to
wear "Auburn" on my chest
when I run."
Glance has been competing
across the country in the various
invitational and dual track meets
since the first of the year in prep­aration
for this year's Olympic
trials.
He won more than half the
races he entered during the
indoor season and has finished
no less than third in the 100 meter
since the outdoor season began in
March. Glance wants to be the
first U.S. sprinter to make three
Olympic teams.
Glance said he feels he has
done well, although others may
ask "what happened?"
"I often feel there is a thin line
between success and failure, and
unless you have your perspective
right, it can destroy you," Glance
said. They way he goes at track
and field is the same way he goes
at everyday life.
Glance leaned back in his chair
and thought a moment. "Auburn.
I started here and I want to end
here. If I don't run another step,
track has been quite an education
and a thrill for me, but more
importantly, for Auburn Uni­versity."
Harvey Glance, inspiring to
talk to and to watch perform, has
the deepest confidence within
himself. "Most of all, I have God,
and with him on my side, I know
anything is possible."

Waverly gets piece of the rock
A small football-shaped object
weighing about 9V2 pounds and
covered in rust was recently dis­covered
in a field in Chambers
County near Waverly. The object
was brought to Robert B. Cook,
acting head of the department of
geology at Auburn University,
who indentified it as a possible
meteorite.
According to Cook, "a meteo­rite
is space debris. One theory
states that meteorites are part of
planets that have broken up. The
earth passes through this break­up
and gravity pulls some of it to
the earth's surface."
Cook sent the specimen to be
further analyzed at the Smith­sonian
Institution. The "Waverly
Iron" was categorized there as a
very rare meteorite of the finest
octahedrite class. The Institution
may be able to determine the
approximate time the meteorite
fell to the earth, Cook said. It is
also important to check the
metorite for organic materials
from outside the earth's envir­onment
which could prove life
elsewhere, he added.
He estimated that the meteorite
could not be more that a few
hundred thousand years old,
which is geologically veryyoung.
This is only the ninth meteorite
discovered this century in Ala­bama.
The first meteorite
recorded was a large one found in
the northeast corner of what is
now Walker County in 1832 and
last one near Ider in DeKalb
County.
In 1867, a meteorite was found
on the Auburn University cam­pus
in a field less than a mile
from Samford Hall. The meteor­ite
weighed almost 8 pounds and
is known as the "Auburn
Meteorite."
Had the discoverer, Ronald
Murphy, a former woman's golf
coach at Auburn, been around a
thousand years earlier or later,
the meteorite would not have
been discovered, Cook said.
According to Cook, "Murphy
was clearing stones from a field
in advance of bush hogging. The
only reason he noticed the meteo­rite
was because of its density.
Most meteorites are probably
never found." He added that
there might be more in the area,
but no active search would be
made.
"However," he said, "there are
probably plenty of meteorites
that people have discovered and
have in their homes hidden in
closets or used as doorstops.
These need to be brought in for
screenihg. Those objects that are
tentatively identified as meteor­ites
will be sawed and 'identified
free by the Smithsonian.
The Institution will polish the
freshly cut surfaces to check for
the tell-tale pattern produced by
the inter-growth of various iron
phases found only in meteorites.
If they are worthy of research the
Institution will buy them. But
• people need to go through a uni­versity
for screening — the Insti­tution
does not want them mailed
straight from the public."
A polished slab of the "Waverly
Iron" will be placed on display in
Petrie Hall when the department
of geology occupies that building
in the near future," Cook said.
Scientist R.S. Clark takes a closer look at a rare meteorite.

Municipal election to be held in July
Auburn Mayor Jan Dempsey
gave official notice yesterday of
the upcoming regular municipal
election, which will be held on July
10,1984, as required by state law.

running for office must file a
statement of candidacy form.
These forms will be available at

on May 10 and the deadline for
filing is 5:00 p.m., June 5.
To be eligible to run for munici­pal
office, an individual must be a
qualified and registered voter in
Lee County and must have re­sided
within the corporate limits
of Auburn for at least 90 days
prior to the election. In addition,
each candidate for alderman
must reside within the ward he
wishes to represent.
Dempsey said that the 90-dav

July 10 if he is registered in Lee
County and has resided in the
city limits of Auburn for 30 days
prior to the election.
Concerning absentee voting,

34 Stevenson plans 'high quality' for The Circle
s
:- Fiy Beth Hughes
. Vssistant News Editor
"I want to put out a high qua­lity
general interest magazine,"
said Auburn graduate student
Mark Stevenson about his first
priority as the new Circle editor
for next year.
Stevenson was chosen as editor
of the magazine by the Communi­cations
Board at its meeting last
week, and plans to take over
sometime after the next issue of
the Circle comes out.
"In the past, the Circle has
been accused of being a strictly
literary magazine, even though it
was originally intended to be a
general interest magazine," said
Stevenson. "I plan to make it
general interest. There is a place
at Auburn for a high quality
magazine containing features of
interest to the campus, and I
want to deal with issues that the
students are involved in and
want to read about."
When asked about the policies
recently set up by the Communi­cations
Board governing the publi­cation
of the Circle, Stevenson
replied, "I will attempt to stick by
its guidelines.
"The magazine is supposed to
be a forum for the writers and
artists on campus, and I want to
shape it that way." Stevenson
added that he was unsure about
the stipulation in the policies say­ing
that only 10-25 percent of the
Circle can be fiction, poetry and
prose.
"I'm committed first to qua­lity,"
he commented, "then I'll
deal with the 10-25 percent part.
If the non-fiction we get is gar­bage
and doesn't measure up to
the fiction, then of course we'll
have more fiction."
There was a lot of discussion
during the Budget and Finance
hearings last quarter about
changing the format of the Circle
to a tabloid form, and Stevenson
said that he would "hate to see
the magazine as a tabloid." He
added that he had not yet had a
chance to look into the financial
situation of the magazine, but
that he will do what he can to
prevent changing the format.
"I hope to look into the possibi­lity
of getting money from out­side
sources to supplement the
budget," he said. "There's a great
interest among people out there
to see Auburn have a quality
magazine and we'll have to find
these people."
When talking about his staff
for next year, Stevenson com­mented
that he will "take anyone
that wants to work. There are a
lot of fine people on the present
staff and most of them know
more about the day-to-day activi­ties
of the Circle than I do," he
said, "and I don't want to close
any of them out."
Stevenson said that he wants
to try to get more diverse submis­sions
next year, adding that he
will even assign articles to wri­ters.
"Having been involved with
"journalism, having worked on
the Plainsman, and having
taught a feature writing class, I
know qualified people to do these
assignments."
Stevenson, a former sports edi­tor
for the Plainsman and' an
economics/journalism major,
admitted that he has never had
r*?*r~m*' .w.iw.wnryj^.'wi'
any experience working in the
Circle. "It's always been my goal
to be published in every major
publication of campus," he said
jokingly. "I've never been in the
Circle, and I guess the best way to
get in is to be editor."
He added more seriously,
though, that he feels a compul­sion
to do everything he is quali­fied
to do. "I feel this University
deserves a high class magazine
and the Circle can be just that. I
can, with the help of a good staff,
put out that sort of publication."
Stevenson also commented on
the Circle controversy of last
quarter surrounding the printing
of questionable language in the
short story "Me and Jimmy."
"If I had been in Margaret
Renkle's position, I most likely
would have run the story, too—
without the dashes. I think that
was one of the most powerful
pieces I've read in the Circle," he
said. "It was challenging because
it showed a side of life that people
in nice, comfortable Auburn
don't see. Just because you don't
do something or don't think that
it's right, doesn't mean it can't be
brought out into the open and be
discussed."
He went on to say that it was a
mistake for University Printing
to stop the presses, because if
they had not, there would have
been much less controversy.
"The issue would have come
out, there would have been a few
letters to the editor of the Plains­man
deploring such language
and a few speeches before the
SGA Senate. But, then it would
have all gone away with much
less pain."
Stevenson added that his is a
different situation because the
Communications Board policies
make a clear statement that no
vulgar language can be included
in the Circle.
"As long as I have it in print,"
he said, "I'll abide by it and make
it understood to the writers."
It has been rumored since the
winter quarter controversy that
the present members of the Circle
staff are planning to quit and
form their own literary maga­zine,
funded by private endow­ments
and totally separate from
SGA or University control. Ste­venson
commented that he had
heard that rumor, and only said,
"More power to them."
"It's my job to put out a general
interest magazine, and I have
great expectations for a quality
publication next year."
